  Dave Castro already has a clue out for
• 0:07
  twenty six point two.
• 0:09
  Let's see what it is.
• 0:21
  I love the chase and the hunt and
• 0:23
  I set the pace when I'm running.
• 0:24
  I always take what I want and I
• 0:26
  always give it one hundred.
• 0:27
  Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
• 0:29
  Play the game like it's nothing.
• 0:30
  I'm always thankful for something.
• 0:31
  Don't take for granted, stay humble.
• 0:33
  Now wake up!
• 0:34
  It's time to look at the enemy.
• 0:37
  Look in the mirror if he is no
• 0:39
  friend to me.
• 0:40
  It's not working out,
• 0:41
  maybe it's the chemistry.
• 0:42
  It's time to break up so I can
• 0:44
  make a better me.
• 0:48
  It's lunch time.
• 0:49
  Yay!
• 0:51
  what is going on everybody welcome to
• 0:53
  lunch with the collides day we are live
• 0:55
  on a tuesday afternoon good to be with
• 0:58
  you all twenty six point one is done
• 1:01
  and dusted and everybody is um in the
• 1:07
  leaderboard it's going to be in the
• 1:08
  leaderboard we are there it is final we
• 1:09
  know what it looks like um so it's
• 1:16
  it is exciting uh
• 1:19
  I do have to say like yesterday, man,
• 1:21
  I felt old.
• 1:25
  So yesterday I did the workout prior to
• 1:29
  coming on the air about ten a.m.
• 1:32
  and I did the workout.
• 1:34
  I explained it all to you guys that
• 1:36
  I did the twenty.
• 1:41
  I did the twenty wall balls and then
• 1:42
  I did a scaled twelve inch box to
• 1:46
  just complete the workout.
• 1:48
  After the show yesterday,
• 1:49
  I went to upload my video and my
• 1:52
  score onto the game site and no video.
• 1:58
  No video.
• 2:00
  It was gone.
• 2:01
  So I quickly decided just to put my
• 2:05
  phone up,
• 2:07
  do some wall balls and at least get
• 2:10
  a score in.
• 2:11
  And so I did that,
• 2:14
  tried to upload that video.
• 2:16
  That video kept getting rejected because
• 2:18
  it was too short and it wasn't a
• 2:20
  full YouTube video because I just did
• 2:23
  three wall balls to get a score and
• 2:26
  to move on.
• 2:28
  cause I was sore.
• 2:29
  I tried to do more.
• 2:31
  Um,
• 2:31
  I was warming up and I was so
• 2:33
  tight.
• 2:35
  I was so tight.
• 2:37
  Um, and my lats and my,
• 2:40
  especially my lats were really hurting.
• 2:42
  Cause I have,
• 2:43
  I've realized I've been scaling out of
• 2:45
  overhead movements way too much, way,
• 2:49
  way too much.
• 2:50
  And then, um, so anyway, made the video,
• 2:53
  did three wall balls,
• 2:54
  was just going to post the score and,
• 2:56
  wouldn't let me.
• 2:57
  So I had to like go into like
• 2:59
  video editing software and like run the
• 3:02
  video a couple times in a row to
• 3:04
  make it long enough to make it a
• 3:07
  full YouTube link,
• 3:09
  then go back and upload it and then
• 3:11
  submit my score.
• 3:13
  It took me like almost the entire day
• 3:16
  to figure out how to just get a
• 3:18
  video up.
• 3:20
  So anyway, I, uh,
• 3:26
  Anyway, there it is.
• 3:28
  It's over.
• 3:28
  Done.
• 3:29
  Dusted.
• 3:30
  Got a score in there.
• 3:33
  Maybe I'll just go drop in at a
• 3:35
  box this weekend to do the next one
• 3:37
  because that video stuff was just
• 3:41
  ridiculous.
• 3:43
  Carolyn asked why I didn't just film for
• 3:45
  twelve minutes I did on the first one
• 3:47
  I just filmed me doing the scaled stuff
• 3:49
  after and then the video didn't take so
• 3:53
  then the afternoon when I just went out
• 3:54
  and did a couple wall balls to submit
• 3:58
  the score again it just anyway it's a
• 4:00
  disaster I'm not doing it again that way
• 4:05
  we'll figure it out we'll figure out
• 4:06
  something but
• 4:10
  It did kind of show me that like
• 4:12
  CrossFit is,
• 4:14
  they do have some safeguards in the
• 4:15
  background that if your video isn't long
• 4:18
  enough, it will reject it.
• 4:23
  And there you go.
• 4:26
  So if you didn't know, now you know.
• 4:30
  Now you know.
• 4:33
  So there it is.
• 4:34
  But my back is really hurting today.
• 4:36
  Again, I've been scaling out of overhead.
• 4:39
  I realized way, way, way too much.
• 4:42
  And yesterday I did like forty five wall
• 4:44
  balls, maybe more than that.
• 4:46
  And my my and I've gosh,
• 4:50
  twenty pound wall ball I haven't used in
• 4:52
  a very long time.
• 4:53
  So, yeah.
• 4:56
  So it's not even my legs.
• 4:57
  It's my back.
• 4:59
  My legs are fine.
• 5:00
  Um, but my back is,
• 5:02
  my back is cooked today.
• 5:05
  Uh, anyway, with that being said, uh,
• 5:12
  no surprises.
• 5:13
  Mirvan roar went ahead and won.
• 5:16
  Twenty six point one on the women's side.
• 5:18
  Uh,
• 5:19
  it looks like some guys from Iceland have
• 5:21
  passed Colton last second on the men's
• 5:24
  side.
• 5:26
  Um,
• 5:28
  We'll see what happens there.
• 5:30
  Lito,
• 5:31
  twenty fourth in the world on this
• 5:33
  workout.
• 5:34
  Congratulations to you.
• 5:35
  And three days later,
• 5:36
  her legs are still not OK.
• 5:40
  Phenomenal performance, Lito.
• 5:42
  Carolyn's in the chat.
• 5:43
  Carolyn took fourteenth worldwide.
• 5:47
  So, yeah,
• 5:47
  we've got some rock stars in the chat.
• 5:50
  Pretty impressive scores.
• 5:58
  Mark Phillips says, nice work, Lito.
• 6:04
  Their video is online, Iceland Boys.
• 6:05
  Yeah, I watched it.
• 6:08
  And I'm going to get into judging in
• 6:10
  a minute.
• 6:13
  I hope they have a different video.
• 6:15
  The fact that the box covers up the
• 6:18
  hip crease, the bottom of the hip crease,
• 6:21
  makes that video really hard to judge.
• 6:24
  Yeah.
• 6:27
  But anyway,
• 6:28
  I don't think that it's unique to them.
• 6:31
  So.
• 6:34
  So there we go.
• 6:39
  Miriam did post this yesterday.
• 6:42
  I don't know if you guys saw this.
• 6:49
  This was her after twenty six point one
• 6:52
  the second time.
• 6:54
  She said she completed the workout,
• 6:56
  twenty six point one in a time of
• 6:57
  nine fifty.
• 6:59
  As several people have already pointed
• 7:01
  out,
• 7:01
  and as you can clearly see in the
• 7:02
  video, I made a small mistake.
• 7:04
  In the second to last set of box
• 7:06
  jump overs,
• 7:07
  I stepped onto the box instead of jumping
• 7:10
  and did not repeat the rep.
• 7:11
  That makes it a no rep.
• 7:13
  During the workout,
• 7:14
  I was aware that something felt off and
• 7:16
  that I had briefly fallen out of rhythm.
• 7:17
  In that moment,
• 7:19
  I had to make a quick decision and
• 7:20
  chose not to repeat the repetition.
• 7:23
  Looking back,
• 7:24
  that was probably the wrong decision.
• 7:26
  However, at high intensity and speed,
• 7:27
  this mistake happened.
• 7:30
  I want to communicate this openly and
• 7:31
  honestly because it is clearly visible in
• 7:33
  the video.
• 7:34
  I consider repeating the workout because
• 7:36
  of this mistake and looked into the rule
• 7:38
  book regarding possible penalties.
• 7:40
  However,
• 7:41
  I could not find a completely clear
• 7:43
  answer.
• 7:50
  What I respect is that she came out
• 7:52
  and said,
• 7:54
  I messed up.
• 7:55
  I did this wrong.
• 7:56
  Clearly her reps were good everywhere else
• 7:59
  in that video.
• 8:00
  Everywhere else.
• 8:03
  I heard last night on Monday Night
• 8:07
  CrossFit talk
• 8:11
  They were talking about...
• 8:13
  I think CJ said two-second penalty.
• 8:16
  JY said five-second penalty because you
• 8:19
  have to penalize for the mistake.
• 8:22
  I think anywhere in there is fine.
• 8:24
  She's still going to win the workout.
• 8:26
  Two, three, five.
• 8:27
  She's still going to be under ten minutes.
• 8:31
  So anyway, I think she is...
• 8:35
  One, I'm now a big fan.
• 8:37
  When you come out and say, hey,
• 8:39
  I know I made a mistake.
• 8:40
  Here it is.
• 8:41
  Tells you even where she made the mistake.
• 8:44
  I think that is awesome.
• 8:46
  Small penalty, move on.
• 8:48
  She still wins the workout.
• 8:50
  She completely dominated this workout over
• 8:53
  everybody, male and female.
• 8:55
  And she should be lauded for that,
• 8:57
  not condemned.
• 8:59
  It was a...
• 9:01
  at the speed she was going it's no
• 9:03
  wonder her mind tricked up in that one
• 9:06
  little moment and she stepped instead of
• 9:08
  jumped um that was not going to make
• 9:11
  a difference in her time her placing or
• 9:14
  anything like that um give her the small
• 9:17
  penalty move on but kudos to her for
• 9:22
  coming out and owning the mistake instead
• 9:24
  of hiding from it or anything like that
• 9:27
  uh
• 9:29
  Great, great way to go about that.
• 9:35
  So right before we went on live,
• 9:38
  Dave posted the clue for twenty six point
• 9:43
  two.
• 9:45
  And here it is.
• 9:48
  It is.
• 9:52
  It looks like.
• 9:54
  I don't know.
• 9:56
  It looks like wheat-ish, I don't know,
• 9:59
  some kind of plant in front of some
• 10:02
  mountains.
• 10:03
  And it kind of is blowing in the
• 10:07
  wind.
• 10:08
  So, yeah, that is the clue.
• 10:13
  I know that Dave says these are obvious,
• 10:16
  so I am sure that you all figured
• 10:18
  it out already.
• 10:28
  Kenneth asked,
• 10:29
  did Nellie Moo claim the giveaway yet?
• 10:33
  Well,
• 10:33
  I found out that Nellie Moo is actually
• 10:36
  Natalie Lemieux.
• 10:40
  And she did claim her bag of thirdsy.
• 10:43
  She's on a business trip,
• 10:45
  but I will get that out to her
• 10:46
  as soon as she can,
• 10:47
  as soon as I can.
• 10:49
  And it is Natalie Lemieux.
• 10:52
  She's been a longtime listener,
• 10:54
  and she was actually in our fantasy
• 10:55
  football league last year.
• 10:57
  So congratulations to Natalie Lemieux for
• 11:01
  winning the bag of salted caramel
• 11:04
  chocolate thirdsy.
• 11:07
  Uh,
• 11:08
  Seema says that the clue is the answer.
• 11:10
  My friend is blowing in the wind.
• 11:12
  Yeah.
• 11:12
  I think the workout is blowing in the
• 11:13
  wind and we'll,
• 11:14
  none of us will figure this out before,
• 11:19
  before Thursday.
• 11:24
  Um, uh, the clouds are doing muscle ups.
• 11:31
  I don't,
• 11:31
  I don't know what you're having for lunch,
• 11:33
  Craig, but okay.
• 11:34
  Okay.
• 11:40
  uh there we go so that came out
• 11:48
  um the other thing that came out in
• 11:49
  the last uh uh was the new documentary
• 11:55
  um i watched it i watched some of
• 11:59
  it very early this morning before my
• 12:01
  pulmonology appointment and i watched the
• 12:03
  rest of it after
• 12:05
  Um,
• 12:07
  I'm going to preface everything I say
• 12:09
  with, I am,
• 12:11
  I am a very hard critic on these
• 12:12
  documentaries.
• 12:14
  Um,
• 12:15
  it has been a while since I have
• 12:18
  thoroughly enjoyed the documentary and I
• 12:22
  was trying to analyze why today.
• 12:25
  And it used to be back in the
• 12:26
  day that the documentary would come out
• 12:30
  and then like immediately following it
• 12:32
  would be the behind the scenes.
• 12:36
  And I think what that gave us is
• 12:39
  you got the event in the documentary.
• 12:43
  And also back then I didn't go to
• 12:45
  the games.
• 12:46
  I was at home watching the stream.
• 12:50
  And so you would watch like the breakdown
• 12:53
  of the games and then you would get
• 12:56
  the behind the scenes of everything that
• 12:58
  happened after, after that,
• 13:01
  that added this color and texture to it.
• 13:03
  And I think in my head,
• 13:05
  I just let it all be one thing
• 13:08
  working together.
• 13:11
  and now we get we we have so
• 13:15
  many media people and i am included in
• 13:17
  this that send out content between the end
• 13:22
  of the games and put out more content
• 13:24
  between the end of the games and when
• 13:26
  the documentary is released so it's really
• 13:30
  hard for the documentary crew to show us
• 13:33
  new stuff like oftentimes i'm sitting
• 13:38
  there going oh i'm not seeing anything i
• 13:40
  didn't see already
• 13:46
  And so I just want to preface my
• 13:49
  critique with that.
• 13:53
  That being said,
• 13:57
  I thought this was better than most.
• 14:01
  I thought this was better than the last
• 14:02
  few.
• 14:04
  It still was a little bit redundant for
• 14:06
  me at times.
• 14:09
  And I felt like it was trying to
• 14:12
  be two different things.
• 14:14
  I felt like it was trying to be
• 14:17
  a Tia Claire Toomey documentary about
• 14:21
  possibly maybe her last year at the games.
• 14:28
  Maybe, possibly.
• 14:32
  Then it also tried to be this game's
• 14:35
  recap of what happened.
• 14:39
  And so I think at times it lost
• 14:42
  itself in one or the other, but wasn't,
• 14:50
  things were missed.
• 14:52
  Things I wanted to see were missed.
• 14:55
  Um,
• 14:57
  I think Olivia Kerstetter coming all the
• 14:59
  way back to be a podium finisher was
• 15:03
  just barely touched on.
• 15:06
  And it could have been a bigger story
• 15:08
  in what happened at the games.
• 15:12
  I think from a Tia documentary point of
• 15:14
  view,
• 15:15
  I learned a lot about Tia and the
• 15:16
  way things happen behind the scenes with
• 15:19
  her.
• 15:20
  There were more behind the scenes footage
• 15:23
  in this documentary than some of the
• 15:24
  others where it was just like the guys
• 15:28
  talking or the ladies talking.
• 15:31
  There was a lot of interaction between
• 15:32
  Lucy Campbell and Tia,
• 15:35
  especially in the moments where they
• 15:37
  traded the leader jersey back and forth,
• 15:39
  which I thought was really good.
• 15:44
  But there just became a point where,
• 15:48
  and Daniel Brandon's in it too.
• 15:50
  So really it focuses on four of each.
• 15:53
  It focuses on Tia, Lucy, Daniel, Brandon,
• 15:57
  Olivia.
• 15:58
  Danielle and Olivia are kind of an
• 15:59
  afterthought, the way I viewed it.
• 16:03
  There was a couple good pieces,
• 16:05
  but for the most part, an afterthought.
• 16:07
  On the men's side, it was Ricky, James,
• 16:11
  Dallin, Jason,
• 16:13
  and a little bit of Jay Crouch.
• 16:17
  A little bit of Jay Crouch.
• 16:19
  And then again, I think at times...
• 16:23
  they just focused on Jason so much and
• 16:27
  he did win the games.
• 16:28
  I get that.
• 16:30
  Um, so anyway, it, it,
• 16:36
  It is what it is.
• 16:37
  I think there were some good parts that
• 16:40
  I hadn't seen before.
• 16:42
  And I don't want to spoil anything at
• 16:43
  this moment because it just came out
• 16:44
  today.
• 16:46
  There was a lot of redundancy that had
• 16:49
  been done in past documentaries where they
• 16:52
  are explaining the workout.
• 16:54
  A lot of Chase and Adrian...
• 17:01
  not Bosman, Adrian, Conway,
• 17:04
  talking about the methodology,
• 17:06
  talking about why the test is the way
• 17:08
  it is, talking about all that stuff.
• 17:12
  If you've watched a bunch of
• 17:13
  documentaries,
• 17:14
  it's a lot of the same jargon in
• 17:15
  there.
• 17:16
  So yeah,
• 17:19
  there was no Colton in the documentary.
• 17:23
  Zero, zero Colton.
• 17:27
  And that's typical for these
• 17:29
  documentaries.
• 17:30
  They focus on the top couple athletes and
• 17:34
  that's what you get.
• 17:36
  There's no Carolyn Prevost in these
• 17:38
  documentaries.
• 17:39
  There was a lot of people missing that
• 17:43
  I think added some color and texture to
• 17:45
  the story.
• 17:47
  I guess there was a tiny bit of
• 17:48
  Austin Hatfield too.
• 17:54
  It feels like the resources they have are
• 17:56
  pre-assigned and the ability to be
• 17:58
  reactive to unexpected stories isn't
• 18:00
  possible.
• 18:02
  Yeah, I think you're right.
• 18:03
  But I saw CJ say Olivia Kerstetter,
• 18:06
  that comeback couldn't have been
• 18:08
  predicted.
• 18:09
  But she's in the documentary.
• 18:11
  They talked to her throughout the weekend.
• 18:13
  So like they predetermined her before it
• 18:17
  even started.
• 18:19
  How it didn't get covered more.
• 18:21
  That's why I think what I was taken
• 18:23
  aback of.
• 18:30
  Vicky says, I bought it,
• 18:31
  but now I'm on strike.
• 18:32
  Don't be on strike.
• 18:33
  It's worth a watch.
• 18:37
  There are some pieces.
• 18:39
  There are some pieces and some
• 18:40
  interactions with Dave by the athletes
• 18:43
  that I've never seen before.
• 18:48
  Like when the pegboard thing happened and
• 18:50
  the slippery pegboard,
• 18:51
  there are athletes that are livid
• 18:54
  And they make it abundantly clear to Dave
• 18:59
  what their thoughts are.
• 19:00
  And that is captured in this documentary.
• 19:05
  There is a part where one athlete knows
• 19:10
  he's being recorded in earshot of another
• 19:13
  athlete.
• 19:15
  And he uses that to try to intimidate
• 19:17
  the other athlete.
• 19:19
  Like there are some really,
• 19:20
  really cool movements or moments,
• 19:24
  really cool moments that I have not seen
• 19:26
  in other, other documentaries.
• 19:30
  Um, but at it's at the granular level,
• 19:34
  it's the same kind of thing.
• 19:39
  So, um, yeah,
• 19:43
  the pig board thing is a,
• 19:44
  is a big piece to this.
• 19:48
  Um,
• 19:51
  So, yeah.
• 19:56
  What would somebody who doesn't know
• 19:57
  anything about CrossFit think?
• 20:00
  Gosh, I don't.
• 20:06
  That's a great question.
• 20:09
  I don't think it is an elementary version
• 20:11
  of the games either.
• 20:13
  I think they come in assuming that you
• 20:17
  know something about the sport already.
• 20:22
  there isn't a lot of introduction to many
• 20:24
  of the characters in the documentary other
• 20:28
  than they show jason in his football
• 20:31
  uniform kind of growing up they don't they
• 20:36
  don't really talk about how tia became tia
• 20:39
  they don't really so there's no like intro
• 20:42
  to what we are and i would even
• 20:45
  say like the the chase and adrian stuff
• 20:48
  is more games related than methodology
• 20:50
  related
• 20:52
  Like in the old documentaries,
• 20:54
  we had like a one-on-one of what the
• 20:56
  methodology is while they're explaining
• 21:00
  what happened at the games.
• 21:04
  None of that is in this.
• 21:08
  And again,
• 21:09
  if you missed the beginning of it,
• 21:10
  Siobhan,
• 21:10
  it's more that I think it tried to
• 21:13
  be a couple different things and it didn't
• 21:15
  go down well.
• 21:17
  any of the paths fully.
• 21:19
  It could have been a great Tia
• 21:20
  documentary.
• 21:21
  Could have been a great Tia documentary.
• 21:24
  Could have been a great-ish games recap
• 21:29
  thing.
• 21:31
  But again, to me,
• 21:32
  it's not a complete picture without a
• 21:35
  behind-the-scenes.
• 21:38
  And so now that the behind-the-scenes is
• 21:40
  done kind of separate...
• 21:44
  Back in the day,
• 21:44
  it was you watch the documentary,
• 21:47
  then you watch the behind the scenes to
• 21:48
  get the color and the texture and all
• 21:51
  of that behind what happened.
• 21:54
  And now the timing's off of that to
• 21:57
  me.
• 21:59
  And I think that's what I miss the
• 22:00
  most.
• 22:04
  And because there are so many people
• 22:07
  putting out content from the games,
• 22:10
  it's really hard for the documentary crew
• 22:13
  to surprise us with anything new.
• 22:17
  It's really, really hard.
• 22:20
  You have athletes putting out content.
• 22:22
  You have media putting out content.
• 22:24
  We are now, what,
• 22:25
  six months after the games,
• 22:27
  seven months after the games,
• 22:29
  and we're just getting this now.
• 22:31
  So a lot has already been said about
• 22:34
  the games.
• 22:35
  So there just wasn't a lot new.
• 22:38
  Now there were like a handful of things
• 22:41
  that I really, really enjoyed.
• 22:43
  I enjoyed the pegboard stuff.
• 22:45
  I enjoyed some of the strategies behind
• 22:47
  the scenes.
• 22:48
  I enjoyed athletes getting mad and not
• 22:50
  wanting to talk to people.
• 22:52
  Um,
• 22:54
  there were some discussions behind the
• 22:56
  scenes that were really good,
• 22:58
  but there were,
• 22:59
  there were a lot of pieces that were
• 23:01
  very much just like it's always been done.
• 23:06
  That's all.
• 23:07
  I'm not saying you won't enjoy it.
• 23:08
  And again, I'm a very hard critic.
• 23:11
  I consume so much content throughout the
• 23:14
  year that it's really hard to surprise me
• 23:17
  with stuff.
• 23:19
  And if I've already seen it,
• 23:23
  it's just like watching a rerun.
• 23:27
  But there were a couple moments where I
• 23:28
  perked up and was like, ooh, ooh, ooh.
• 23:35
  um so so there's that take it for
• 23:41
  what you will it's out there it's like
• 23:44
  four dollars to rent twelve dollars to buy
• 23:48
  i've i've purchased every single one of
• 23:50
  these like i have them all in my
• 23:54
  queue uh
• 23:57
  To me, I would put it at,
• 24:00
  and I am a very hard critic on
• 24:02
  this.
• 24:03
  I would put it at a B minus,
• 24:06
  a B minus.
• 24:11
  So take it for what you will.
• 24:13
  That's where I have it.
• 24:15
  Um,
• 24:22
  Go check it out if you want to.
• 24:24
  The next thing I wanted to talk about
• 24:25
  is,
• 24:27
  I've had a lot of DMs over the
• 24:29
  last twenty-four hours about people going
• 24:32
  and looking at videos on the leaderboard
• 24:35
  and seeing people not meeting standards
• 24:37
  all around them on the leaderboard and
• 24:44
  And I get it.
• 24:46
  I get it.
• 24:46
  There are a lot of bad wall balls
• 24:48
  out there.
• 24:49
  A lot of them.
• 24:50
  I think last night on the CrossFit Network
• 24:52
  show, Taylor said, jump ship said five,
• 24:59
  ten percent.
• 25:01
  I don't know what it is.
• 25:02
  I've seen a lot of footage of some
• 25:04
  bad wall balls.
• 25:07
  And I've heard from a lot of athletes
• 25:09
  that are upset.
• 25:13
  It's hard.
• 25:15
  CrossFit is at a place where they're
• 25:17
  trying to make something that anybody in
• 25:20
  the first week of the Open can do
• 25:22
  to get signups, to get people interested,
• 25:24
  to get people in the door.
• 25:28
  And they did that with this workout.
• 25:31
  This is a workout that anybody can come
• 25:33
  in, do some wall balls, get a score,
• 25:37
  and move on.
• 25:41
  The problem is then you get something like
• 25:43
  this,
• 25:44
  and it puts judges in a really bad
• 25:47
  position.
• 25:48
  There are two places you have to look
• 25:50
  at as a judge to see if they
• 25:53
  have met hip depth, hip crease,
• 25:57
  and did they hit the target at the
• 25:59
  right spot.
• 26:01
  So...
• 26:03
  It puts the judge in a bad situation
• 26:06
  at, what,
• 26:07
  two hundred and forty whatever times they
• 26:10
  have to look in two places for every
• 26:12
  rep.
• 26:15
  The videos are not doing anybody any
• 26:17
  favors.
• 26:21
  You know,
• 26:21
  last night they showed the Icelandic for
• 26:24
  people that were doing it together.
• 26:26
  The boxes were in front of them or
• 26:29
  in between the camera and them.
• 26:31
  You couldn't even see the bottom of the
• 26:32
  hip crease.
• 26:34
  You could only guess whether they hit or
• 26:36
  not.
• 26:37
  Um,
• 26:38
  and some of them won and there are
• 26:41
  way worse videos than that.
• 26:44
  What I would say is hopefully there's a
• 26:47
  skill coming.
• 26:49
  There is a skill coming that's going to
• 26:52
  separate the really good athletes,
• 26:55
  the people that are true to their
• 26:57
  standards all the time.
• 27:00
  And it will separate the leaderboard and
• 27:06
  make it feel appropriate.
• 27:08
  I heard people on a Monday night CrossFit
• 27:11
  update that they were at a lower
• 27:15
  percentage than they normally are because
• 27:17
  it was so accessible.
• 27:29
  Carolyn says,
• 27:29
  what's the difference between that and
• 27:31
  most of the movements?
• 27:32
  Well, as a judge,
• 27:34
  you actually have to move to see both
• 27:37
  both things.
• 27:39
  To see the hip crease,
• 27:41
  to see the top of the wall ball
• 27:42
  target,
• 27:43
  it's a greater distance between the two to
• 27:46
  judge.
• 27:47
  Most of it, most movements,
• 27:50
  you can see most of that peripherally with
• 27:52
  a little bit of head movement.
• 27:54
  This just takes more.
• 27:57
  And I saw Andrew Sten say,
• 27:59
  it's not that hard to judge.
• 28:01
  Andrew,
• 28:02
  you have judged on the highest levels.
• 28:05
  And for you, yeah, it's not that hard.
• 28:07
  But there's a lot of people that don't
• 28:09
  judge every day.
• 28:11
  And it's a big distance between the two
• 28:16
  points.
• 28:17
  There's a lot of movement.
• 28:21
  So Andrew says it's not, Scott.
• 28:25
  If you step back a little and kneel,
• 28:26
  you can see it all.
• 28:27
  But you know that.
• 28:30
  You know that.
• 28:30
  You can teach people in your gym that.
• 28:33
  But how many people don't have an
• 28:36
  experienced judge like that that can give
• 28:39
  the tips and tricks for everything?
• 28:42
  You can see these videos.
• 28:44
  You can see the judges.
• 28:45
  You can see a lot of people don't
• 28:47
  use the proper technique when they judge.
• 29:01
  Um...
• 29:03
  Carolyn says,
• 29:03
  every year it's like this by the third
• 29:05
  week.
• 29:05
  Things settle to normal on the
• 29:07
  leaderboard.
• 29:10
  Shanna says, I know repped a few times.
• 29:17
  Amanda says,
• 29:18
  I've done this so long that I know
• 29:19
  going in that my score will not be
• 29:21
  reflected appropriately on the leaderboard
• 29:23
  in a workout like this.
• 29:24
  Sadly, in my point of view now,
• 29:27
  it's just, it is what it is.
• 29:36
  It has nothing to do with difficulty of
• 29:37
  judging.
• 29:37
  It's people who don't train full depth
• 29:39
  regularly.
• 29:40
  And it's friends judging and letting it
• 29:42
  go.
• 29:44
  So I wanted to, you know,
• 29:46
  because a lot of people are complaining
• 29:48
  about this.
• 29:50
  There's nothing we're going to be able to
• 29:51
  do today about this.
• 29:54
  But we did talk about this new xenon.
• 29:57
  And my question to you all is,
• 30:01
  because it's not based on a comparative
• 30:04
  score,
• 30:04
  like your time is better than my time,
• 30:08
  so blah, blah, blah, right?
• 30:10
  It is based on a score of average
• 30:14
  is a thousand.
• 30:16
  If you do better than average,
• 30:17
  you can get a higher score.
• 30:19
  If you do lower than average,
• 30:21
  you get lower than a thousand, right?
• 30:24
  So it's not based on where you finish
• 30:26
  on a leaderboard,
• 30:27
  but where you finish on a scale that's
• 30:31
  been developed for what the typical
• 30:34
  athlete can do.
• 30:36
  And think of it in golf terms as
• 30:38
  there's a par for a hole.
• 30:40
  And if you go below,
• 30:42
  if you exceed expectations,
• 30:44
  you get a birdie and you are below
• 30:47
  par.
• 30:48
  If you don't exceed expectations,
• 30:50
  you do worse than expectations,
• 30:52
  you get a bogey.
• 30:54
  Flip that and get a better score because
• 30:56
  you do better than par and a lesser
• 30:59
  score because you do worse than par.
• 31:02
  Do you think that that is a better
• 31:05
  example of testing the community in where
• 31:09
  you stand than the Open is currently
• 31:15
  doing?
• 31:17
  And the other thing Xenon will have with
• 31:19
  it,
• 31:19
  it will have judges there provided to
• 31:22
  judge your movements.
• 31:23
  It won't be a friend.
• 31:25
  It won't be inside your gym.
• 31:27
  It will be in a stadium where you
• 31:30
  go do these events and you get a
• 31:34
  score based on your performance against
• 31:38
  the norm,
• 31:39
  not against the other people that are
• 31:41
  doing it.
• 31:53
  Lita says,
• 31:54
  I like that scoring a bit like P
• 31:56
  score,
• 31:56
  but it's used as a general average athlete
• 31:59
  rather than the competitive average.
• 32:01
  Yeah.
• 32:02
  My issue with P score is it's still
• 32:04
  dependent on the people you're competing
• 32:07
  against in that moment.
• 32:10
  where this is a determined statistical
• 32:14
  analysis of what people should do in that
• 32:17
  event, and the scoring is based on that.
• 32:20
  And the more data points they get from
• 32:23
  all these events,
• 32:24
  the more dialed in that distribution of
• 32:31
  points we'll get.
• 32:43
  Yeah, exactly.
• 32:44
  Scott,
• 32:44
  a general average rather than the
• 32:45
  competitive one.
• 32:46
  I, yes, I think it's a great,
• 32:49
  I think their release of this new thing
• 32:52
  that they're doing up against the open and
• 32:55
  all the complaints people are having for
• 32:58
  your percentile is based on everybody else
• 33:01
  and what they're allowed to get away with
• 33:03
  as opposed to where you rank in
• 33:06
  on this predetermined scale and i think
• 33:10
  that the release of this at that time
• 33:13
  they need to market that piece because you
• 33:16
  will actually know your xenon score and it
• 33:22
  doesn't change you get better and better
• 33:24
  or worse and worse to doing the same
• 33:27
  thing um each time you go do that
• 33:30
  xenon
• 33:37
  So I just found that interesting and an
• 33:41
  observational fact.
• 33:43
  But yeah,
• 33:45
  I think that that is definitely a solution
• 33:49
  for those mid-level athletes who just want
• 33:53
  to see where they are.
• 33:55
  Because I think it'll be a truer sense
• 33:58
  in who you are as an athlete as
• 34:02
  opposed to...
• 34:05
  where you finished on a leaderboard where
• 34:08
  everything is kind of everything,
• 34:13
  everything is open to interpretation from
• 34:15
  every individual judge around the world.
• 34:22
  Claire says five hundred to compete as an
• 34:23
  individual per barbell spin a lot more
• 34:25
  than the open.
• 34:26
  It is.
• 34:27
  But there are people that care so much
• 34:29
  about where their fitness level is.
• 34:32
  I think people will be willing to pay
• 34:34
  for it.
• 34:35
  The other thing I think it's two days,
• 34:37
  ten events.
• 34:38
  That's a lot of activity.
• 34:40
  That's more than the open.
• 34:42
  Do you get for that five hundred dollars?
• 34:44
  You also get based on this new scoring
• 34:46
  system.
• 34:48
  And there's only two thousand spots
• 34:50
  available at each location.
• 34:52
  So the supply and demand is going to
• 34:54
  be much different than the open.
• 35:02
  So.
• 35:08
  Lito says five hundred is really pricey
• 35:09
  for a two day comp.
• 35:12
  is it is it i've paid more i've
• 35:16
  paid over a hundred dollars for a one-day
• 35:18
  comp close to two hundred dollars for one
• 35:23
  day comp locally and that was six years
• 35:26
  ago and i don't think it's just for
• 35:31
  every tom dick and harry i think xenom
• 35:33
  is going to be for those people who
• 35:36
  want to see where they rank
• 35:39
  And in a controlled environment where
• 35:44
  everything you have judging,
• 35:46
  you have rogue equipment,
• 35:48
  you have the best of the best things
• 35:52
  laid out for you to accomplish your task.
• 36:11
  Hexy lover.
• 36:13
  Are judges going to judge college and pay
• 36:16
  the salary?
• 36:17
  Where do I apply?
• 36:18
  I don't know.
• 36:19
  I don't know how they're getting judges.
• 36:21
  I'm sure that's something they're working
• 36:22
  out.
• 36:26
  Workouts have to stay the same every year
• 36:28
  if this works.
• 36:29
  It's closer to being an Olympic sport than
• 36:33
  CrossFit or IF-III.
• 36:34
  I agree.
• 36:35
  I agree.
• 36:37
  I agree.
• 36:43
  Monster games was less than three hundred
• 36:45
  this year.
• 36:47
  Yeah,
• 36:47
  but monster like monster games is a couple
• 36:49
  day competition.
• 36:49
  Three hundred bucks and.
• 36:54
  People are paying that and they're selling
• 36:55
  it out usually every year in a ton
• 36:58
  of different divisions.
• 37:00
  What is two hundred dollars more to do
• 37:02
  it in a big stadium with the nicest
• 37:05
  equipment?
• 37:06
  I don't know.
• 37:11
  I've seen people pay more for crazier
• 37:13
  stuff.
• 37:21
  I agree with Claire.
• 37:22
  I can't wait to see this thing in
• 37:23
  real life.
• 37:24
  Everything sounds good on paper.
• 37:26
  It's going to be interesting to see the
• 37:28
  execution.
• 37:30
  WFP sounded good on paper.
• 37:32
  The execution fell short.
• 37:37
  That's what we need to see.
• 37:46
  anybody can come up with a plan.
• 37:48
  It's what do you do once it's in
• 37:49
  reality?
• 37:50
  And does it,
• 37:52
  does it make sense at that point?
• 38:02
  Just remember, guys,
• 38:04
  we have a sponsor to this show.
• 38:06

• 38:35
  Twenty five percent off through the open.
• 38:42
  Trish says Xenom is a corny as hell
• 38:44
  name.
• 38:45
  See,
• 38:47
  I said this on Sunday night with Carolyn,
• 38:49
  I think everything sounds corny when it's
• 38:52
  first given to you.
• 38:56
  If it turns out to be a really
• 38:57
  cool event,
• 38:58
  nobody's going to care what it was called.
• 39:01
  If you look at CrossFit,
• 39:03
  they took it on the chin that it
• 39:06
  was a weird name back then.
• 39:15
  So if they do a good job and
• 39:21
  it becomes a cool event,
• 39:22
  the name will be irrelevant.
• 39:28
  uh cj has figured out the clue from
• 39:29
  dave um he posted in the comments if
• 39:32
  you want to go see uh trish says
• 39:42
  i can't see lito without thinking of the
• 39:44
  boss gag song uh i'm with you when
• 39:47
  she first was in the chat that song
• 39:50
  would run in my head every time i
• 39:51
  saw her um
• 39:56
  Alito says,
• 39:57
  I'm curious if they will sell it out,
• 39:58
  though,
• 39:58
  considering there are lots of other
• 40:00
  cheaper comps out there for community
• 40:02
  athletes.
• 40:03
  The elites already have a lot on their
• 40:04
  plates.
• 40:08
  I would lay dollars to donuts they sell
• 40:10
  out.
• 40:21
  Alito says they just released events for
• 40:24
  two and three.
• 40:27
  Let me see if I can pull that
• 40:28
  up.
• 40:37
  Thank you for the update.
• 40:41
  Didn't have this on my...
• 40:43
  So event two is wall walk, rope climb,
• 40:47
  and wall walk, rope climb couplet.
• 40:51
  Two wall walks, one rope climb.
• 40:53
  Four wall walks, two rope climbs.
• 40:55
  Six wall walks, three rope climbs.
• 41:01
  That is the elite division.
• 41:04
  That looks like it's it.
• 41:06
  It doesn't have a time.
• 41:13
  Looks like just for time.
• 41:18
  And event three is...
• 41:21
  sixty second max calorie on an echo bike
• 41:31
  so we now have five of the ten
• 41:35
  events uh announced by xenon it really
• 41:42
  looks like
• 41:43
  Day one is primarily like a monostructural
• 41:46
  type thing.
• 41:48
  And then day two looks like it is
• 41:50
  going to be more your couplets.
• 41:59
  Couplets, triplets, Metcons,
• 42:03
  things like that.
• 42:08
  So...
• 42:18
  uh i didn't see cj's comment uh but
• 42:22
  corey said if cj's right uh there's gonna
• 42:25
  be a lot of happy folks out there
• 42:26
  and i'm three of them okay corey is
• 42:31
  let me refresh see what cj says
• 42:59
  okay uh i'll pull it up guys everybody's
• 43:04
  asking so here's cj's comment so here it
• 43:13
  is
• 43:16
  You're looking at a wild oak grass seed
• 43:17
  heads in the foreground,
• 43:19
  the long dangling ons and narrow spikelets
• 43:22
  are classic California wild oats blowing
• 43:25
  in the wind,
• 43:26
  which obviously equate to the classics
• 43:29
  swinging on the rings and swinging on a
• 43:32
  rope.
• 43:46
  Um, burpees over barley.
• 43:52
  Sowing wild oats is creative programming.
• 43:58
  Sky is the limits.
• 44:12
  A lot of people with their guesses.
• 44:15
  I think the guesses are more fun than
• 44:16
  the clue.
• 44:25
  So when I'm short on time or just
• 44:26
  want some skill work,
• 44:27
  I'll do a twenty to thirty minute EMOM
• 44:29
  of dubs and ring muscle ups.
• 44:42
  Yeah.
• 44:47
  There it is.
• 44:49
  Okay, guys, I'm going to head out.
• 44:55
  Just to let you know,
• 44:56
  I had my pulmonary follow-up after my
• 45:00
  biopsy today.
• 45:02
  And regretfully, I have no answers still.
• 45:07
  They ruled out sarcoidosis.
• 45:09
  They ruled out cancer.
• 45:11
  So those are two good things, I guess.
• 45:14
  And holy cow.
• 45:20
  Well, put that on hold.
• 45:22
  Spin just reported that Don Fall is out.
• 45:25
  I think people were predicting this was
• 45:26
  coming.
• 45:29
  Not sure they thought it would happen
• 45:30
  today.
• 45:32
  It's weird that they would do that during
• 45:33
  the open.
• 45:36
  But it is what it is, right?
• 45:43
  So see if I can pull that up.
• 46:06
  He does not have it on his Instagram
• 46:08
  yet.
• 46:13
  So it must be on Twitter.
• 46:16
  Maybe it is report.
• 46:24
  Here it is.
• 46:29
  Don fall steps down.
• 46:31
  as CEO of CrossFit.
• 46:33
  Don Fall stepped down as CEO of CrossFit.
• 46:35
  Fall became CEO on August second,
• 46:37
  right before the games.
• 46:41
  Fall's last day will be March sixth, .
• 46:44
  So he will be here till the end
• 46:45
  of the week.
• 46:48
  CrossFit's board of directors has already
• 46:50
  begun the process of finding a new CEO
• 46:52
  and will work with an executive search
• 46:53
  firm to find Fall's replacement.
• 46:57
  I really, really,
• 47:00
  really hate executive search firms.
• 47:04
  Hate that.
• 47:07
  Only you know what you want in a
• 47:09
  CEO, not some outside search firm.
• 47:16
  So anyway, there it is.
• 47:20
  Don Fall has stepped down.
• 47:25
  Time the doc released with his leaving.
• 47:27
  Gosh, I know it's terrible.
• 47:30
  You're in the middle of the open.
• 47:31
  You have a new documentary coming out,
• 47:33
  and that's when you decide to make the
• 47:35
  change.
• 47:38
  All right, real quick,
• 47:40
  back to the pulmonary stuff.
• 47:43
  I didn't get any answers today.
• 47:44
  I only got eliminated questions,
• 47:47
  and that was they ruled out cancer.
• 47:50
  They ruled out sarcoidosis.
• 47:53
  So now it's moving on to other steps.
• 47:56
  I did a broad blood panel today.
• 48:01
  So now I have to wait on those
• 48:02
  results.
• 48:03
  They're looking for some specific
• 48:05
  autoimmune possibilities.
• 48:09
  But overall,
• 48:09
  my symptoms have gotten better because of
• 48:12
  the medicine I'm on and the sinus surgery
• 48:15
  I've had.
• 48:17
  So at this point,
• 48:19
  we have some time to figure it out.
• 48:23
  but that's where i am i thought for
• 48:25
  sure it was going to be sarcoidosis turned
• 48:27
  out it is not that it has been
• 48:29
  ruled out now and so the biopsy just
• 48:33
  really eliminated a couple things and but
• 48:36
  didn't give any answers so we just moved
• 48:38
  forward i gave some blood this morning
• 48:42
  five vials of blood and uh they're gonna
• 48:45
  test it for some autoimmune stuff and
• 48:48
  we'll see what that brings back in the
• 48:51
  next couple weeks
• 48:53
  So that is where I am with the
• 48:57
  pulmonary stuff.
• 48:59
  Um,
• 48:59
  hopefully we can get through that over the
• 49:02
  next few days.
• 49:03
  And other than that, that's my news.
• 49:07
  Uh, thank you everybody for your concern.
• 49:11
  Uh,
• 49:16
  a cross fat had just connected with Don
• 49:19
  fall on LinkedIn.
• 49:22
  So Don Fall knows who CrossFat is.
• 49:25
  And now he stepped down.
• 49:26
  And the world will never know.
• 49:32
  All right.
• 49:32
  With that, guys, tons of breaking news.
• 49:35
  We had a Dave Castro hint.
• 49:38
  We had a new documentary.
• 49:40
  And Don Fall stepped down.
• 49:43
  All while on the air today.
• 49:44
  How about that, guys?
• 49:45
  Doesn't get any better than this.
• 49:48
  With that,
• 49:49
  I will let you guys get back to
• 49:50
  your
• 49:53
  Oh,
• 49:54
  he stepped down because he figured out who
• 49:56
  CrossFat was.
• 50:03
  Corey says the plot twist is he is
• 50:05
  CrossFat on LinkedIn.
• 50:11
  All right, guys, with that.
• 50:16
  I have so many thoughts right now.
• 50:18
  I need to sort them out.
• 50:19
  You guys have a great rest of your
• 50:20
  day.
• 50:21
  We'll be back tomorrow for lunch with the
• 50:23
  Clydesdale tomorrow, Wednesday.
• 50:26
  And we will hopefully we'll have the
• 50:27
  cowboy with us tomorrow with that.
• 50:30
  We'll see everybody tomorrow.
• 50:31
  Have a great day.
• 50:33
  Bye all.
