- 1:01And so we're going to talk
- 1:04about that tonight.
- 1:06But it was Lex's birthday.
- 1:08Jamie is remodeling her gym.
- 1:11Hopefully we'll get some
- 1:11pictures tonight of that.
- 1:14It looks awesome what I've seen so far.
- 1:17So...
- 1:18that delayed what was going
- 1:20on plus the holidays and
- 1:21being with family stuff
- 1:23like that so we're just
- 1:24delaying one night because
- 1:26there's a ton of stuff to
- 1:27talk about tonight uh
- 1:29mainly we're going to talk
- 1:30about a lot of the details
- 1:32of the wfp and what that
- 1:33means for the athletes um
- 1:35as we have two athletes on
- 1:36our show we'll get their
- 1:38impressions tonight um
- 1:40we're going to talk about
- 1:42we're going to give out
- 1:42some year-end awards
- 1:45And then we talked last week
- 1:46about a traveling CrossFit
- 1:48community event,
- 1:50very similar to High Rocks.
- 1:52But how could we make it
- 1:53very CrossFit centric and
- 1:56kind of travel it almost
- 1:57like the gauntlet at Guadalupe?
- 2:01So we asked you to submit
- 2:03workouts that would work in
- 2:04a sixty to ninety minute time frame.
- 2:08And then we're going to
- 2:09share those tonight.
- 2:11If.
- 2:12you are one of the people
- 2:13who submit that we are
- 2:15going to do a drawing for
- 2:17the submitted workouts and
- 2:20you will win one of our new cups.
- 2:24And so I've shown this one before.
- 2:26Here is the, uh,
- 2:29Twenty ounce coffee mug tumbler.
- 2:34It has a closeable lid on it.
- 2:38It's really cool.
- 2:39It's in our Clydesdale
- 2:40yellow with the logo now.
- 2:42I don't know what they call
- 2:44that etched into it, engraved into it.
- 2:49Really cool.
- 2:50Use this all the time.
- 2:51Keeps my coffee hot for a
- 2:53long period of time.
- 2:56Or you can choose, this is new,
- 3:00the Clydesdale Media water bottle.
- 3:04It is steel as well, as you can see.
- 3:07But it has the flip up straw right there.
- 3:13And it is a twenty eight to
- 3:15thirty two ounces.
- 3:17So if you submit one of the workouts
- 3:20for um for the community
- 3:26event very high like a high
- 3:28rock style but very
- 3:29crossfit um specific for an
- 3:33hour or ninety minutes to
- 3:36have an event a community
- 3:37event that travels around
- 3:38the country we do the same
- 3:40event and then um kind of
- 3:42check all that out
- 3:43and you can compare times uh
- 3:45and just kind of come
- 3:46together as a community we
- 3:47talked about that last week
- 3:49on the sunday night
- 3:49crossfit show so if you
- 3:51want to see more details
- 3:52about that there but again
- 3:54submit a workout you'll go
- 3:56if you submit one you'll go
- 3:57to drawing for one of these
- 3:59two items either the water
- 4:01bottle or the coffee mug so
- 4:05that is that and
- 4:11Heidi Kroom.
- 4:11I am not a High Rocks athlete.
- 4:14What we were talking about
- 4:15last week is what High
- 4:17Rocks does well is it
- 4:18organizes a community event
- 4:20where people can come together,
- 4:22do the same thing in that
- 4:23day and compete against each other,
- 4:26compare with each other,
- 4:28things like that.
- 4:28So we thought CrossFit
- 4:30should take something that they do well.
- 4:34and mold it into that
- 4:35community event where everybody comes,
- 4:38runs through like a gauntlet of workouts.
- 4:41Um, and then on the other end,
- 4:42you have a total time or
- 4:44total reps that you can
- 4:45compare and contrast with
- 4:47your friends in the
- 4:48community and have it
- 4:49travel around the country.
- 4:51And that, um, and at the end of the year,
- 4:54everybody would have different times, um,
- 4:58So we asked the audience to
- 5:00put together like a
- 5:01gauntlet style workout,
- 5:04keeping it real exactly.
- 5:05So just kind of like the
- 5:07gauntlet at Waterpalooza,
- 5:08but that it travels around
- 5:10from city to city.
- 5:12And the community can jump
- 5:13in and get together and do
- 5:15the same workout.
- 5:16So.
- 5:18Yeah.
- 5:19So that's what we're looking for.
- 5:21Again, if you submit this workout, again,
- 5:24sixty minutes to ninety minutes,
- 5:26and then you if you do that,
- 5:28you'll go into a drawing
- 5:29for one of those drinking
- 5:31devices and you get to pick
- 5:32which one you want.
- 5:33So.
- 5:35Um, so yeah,
- 5:37so that's something we talked
- 5:38about today is going to be
- 5:40less CrossFit intense
- 5:41because we're doing that
- 5:42tonight at eight o'clock.
- 5:44Uh,
- 5:44but I did want to bring up the new
- 5:46signings for the WFP as those change,
- 5:49it seems on the regular, um,
- 5:54so we have those here uh
- 5:56over the weekend signed
- 5:58sydney wells uh bkg jason
- 6:01hopper amy kringle mano anganese
- 6:06And that gets added to
- 6:08Dallin Pepper and Emmett
- 6:09Hall and Justin Medeiros, Victor Hoffer,
- 6:11Roman Krennikoff, Emma McQuaid,
- 6:13Travis Mayer, Alexis Raptus, Yella Hosta,
- 6:16Patrick Vellner, Brooke Wells, Alex Kazan,
- 6:19and Chandler Smith.
- 6:20So that is getting filled up pretty fast.
- 6:22That is four, seven, ten, thirteen,
- 6:25sixteen.
- 6:28That's eighteen of the forty
- 6:29athletes that have been announced.
- 6:30We're almost to the halfway
- 6:31point of who is going to be involved.
- 6:34in that top-twenty athletes with the WFP.
- 6:43Cluck says,
- 6:44Hiller's new video is titled
- 6:45The Rise and Fall of Craig Ritchie.
- 6:48I will definitely check that
- 6:49out after this.
- 6:54Jody Lynn, good for them.
- 6:56Nice to see they're making
- 6:57some money through fitness.
- 6:59As I've said...
- 7:04These careers are short.
- 7:06You only have so long to make money.
- 7:08If you have the opportunity to make money,
- 7:10go get it, man.
- 7:11I'm all for it.
- 7:12Go for it.
- 7:15But I'm anxious to see how
- 7:16it all plays out.
- 7:17We're going to debate some
- 7:19stuff on it tonight.
- 7:20We've had our text string
- 7:21going with Carolyn and Jamie.
- 7:23They have definitely
- 7:24different opinions about
- 7:25the WFP than I do.
- 7:27So I think there'll be some
- 7:28good debate about that.
- 7:30And make sure to join us tonight,
- 7:32eight p.m.
- 7:32Eastern time for that.
- 7:36So a couple other things I
- 7:39wanted to talk about is, you know,
- 7:40it's the week after
- 7:41Christmas here and my tree's still up.
- 7:45My decorations are still up.
- 7:47What is the proper amount of
- 7:49time to wait after
- 7:50Christmas to then take down
- 7:53all the decorations?
- 7:57So, Heidi,
- 7:59you'll be sleeping at eight p.m. ?
- 8:04and it were eastern time so
- 8:05it would only be you're
- 8:07still in wisconsin right so
- 8:08that would be seven p.m
- 8:09your time uh jake chapman
- 8:13ate his christmas tree okay
- 8:15that that's an option yeah
- 8:18so um my wife and I were
- 8:19actually debating before
- 8:20the show like when do we
- 8:22take down the tree uh do we
- 8:24take it down today do we
- 8:25wait a couple days um uh
- 8:31And so I think we're going
- 8:33to wait a little bit of time, um,
- 8:37to take it down, but later this week.
- 8:39So probably,
- 8:41so I'm off Wednesday through
- 8:43the middle of next week.
- 8:45So we'll probably start
- 8:45taking stuff down on
- 8:46Wednesday is my guess.
- 8:48Um, and then, uh,
- 8:50and then clean up the house
- 8:52and get it ready for non holiday events.
- 8:56Do you guys have a schedule
- 8:57of when you take it down?
- 9:02Uh, Jody Lynn says, uh,
- 9:05I've heard three Kings day
- 9:06is a deadline for Christmas tree down.
- 9:08And that is like, isn't that like January.
- 9:11Well, something like that.
- 9:14Um, I don't celebrate three Kings day,
- 9:17so I don't know exactly the date on that,
- 9:18but I know it's like a
- 9:20couple of weeks into January.
- 9:25Heidi crew mass,
- 9:26any new year's resolutions.
- 9:31Um,
- 9:32I don't know.
- 9:32I don't really have any resolutions.
- 9:34I've,
- 9:35I've done a lot of the things I
- 9:36wanted to accomplish this year.
- 9:39Um,
- 9:39and so I'm just happy with the results
- 9:41of that.
- 9:42Um, and we have a couple,
- 9:45my wife and I have a couple
- 9:46of procedures happening
- 9:47this coming weekend.
- 9:49So I am,
- 9:52if you didn't work with me on Friday,
- 9:54I'm back in a fib.
- 9:55So I'm having my heart
- 9:56shocked back into rhythm on Friday.
- 9:57Um,
- 9:58And then my wife is having a
- 10:00total knee replacement done on Monday.
- 10:03And then we can start
- 10:04rehabbing and getting back
- 10:06into our groove.
- 10:09But Jake Chapman says we set
- 10:18fire to our tree cheer.
- 10:19And Corey responds with,
- 10:21I set fire to the rain.
- 10:23I knew he was a big Adele fan.
- 10:24I knew that.
- 10:31Judy,
- 10:32we took advantage of the nice weather
- 10:33and took everything down
- 10:34this past weekend.
- 10:36Well, David did.
- 10:37I personally like it up
- 10:40until after the new year.
- 10:42What's funny about this
- 10:42weekend is it's finally warm, Judy,
- 10:45but as you know here in Ohio, it poured.
- 10:48Yesterday's rain was,
- 10:50we actually had like fifty-five degrees.
- 10:52It was really nice temperature-wise,
- 10:55but my gosh,
- 10:56the rain was brutal yesterday.
- 11:01Um, Aaron Frazier is asking about Cheryl.
- 11:04Um, I'm going to talk about that soon.
- 11:07Um, about what's going on.
- 11:10Um, but I,
- 11:11I needed a break from some stuff.
- 11:12So, um,
- 11:14I'm really just taking a different
- 11:16approach to my nutrition right now, uh,
- 11:19to kind of,
- 11:21cause Cheryl and I worked together.
- 11:23lot for two and a half years
- 11:26and I just needed to step
- 11:27back and but this year
- 11:31alone I've lost sixty
- 11:33pounds I've gotten rid of I
- 11:36got my blood sugar down
- 11:37from ten to five point
- 11:40seven I've done a lot of
- 11:42things I needed to do this
- 11:43year so I'm really happy
- 11:45about that but I just
- 11:46needed a break from the
- 11:47like hardcore nutrition
- 11:49stuff and be a little more flexible
- 11:53And right now that's working for me,
- 11:56giving myself a little bit
- 11:57more flexibility,
- 11:59not having to log
- 12:00everything and stuff like that.
- 12:02So anyway, Judy said, yeah,
- 12:09yesterday's rain and wind was scary.
- 12:11Yeah,
- 12:11my dog was petrified of going outside
- 12:14to pee.
- 12:15We had to deal with that.
- 12:18So, yeah.
- 12:22So, speaking of the holidays,
- 12:24did anybody see this?
- 12:26That Will Ferrell went to an NHL game,
- 12:31and he went dressed as Buddy the Elf,
- 12:34but a grumpy, cigarette-smoking,
- 12:37beer-drinking Buddy the Elf.
- 12:44When I saw this, I was cracking up.
- 12:48But my question to you is,
- 12:49what do you think the kids
- 12:51were thinking when Buddy
- 12:53the Elf showed up at an NHL game?
- 12:59And there's some other
- 13:00pictures over here where
- 13:02you can see him drinking the beer,
- 13:09smoking the cigarette.
- 13:10What do you think?
- 13:12Funny move from Will Ferrell,
- 13:14something that you would appreciate,
- 13:18or I don't have small kids anymore,
- 13:22so I don't know how I would
- 13:23feel about that if I had a
- 13:25small kid who did watch Elf
- 13:28every stinking year for Christmas,
- 13:31but I found it humorous.
- 13:37Any thoughts about that?
- 13:42Yeah.
- 13:44I thought that was pretty funny.
- 13:49The other thing,
- 13:51we lost two people in the
- 13:52last twenty-four hours in the world.
- 13:57We lost Jimmy Carter
- 13:58yesterday at a hundred years old.
- 14:02Probably
- 14:04a president that did more
- 14:06after his presidency than
- 14:08he did during his
- 14:08presidency by organizing
- 14:14Habitat for Humanity and
- 14:17being a big part of that.
- 14:19And then I just read today
- 14:21where he took part in some
- 14:24melanoma experimental
- 14:28medicine that has turned
- 14:29out to work very well.
- 14:31And they actually call it
- 14:32the Jimmy Carter treatment.
- 14:35And so that's kind of a legacy.
- 14:37But the thing that I hated
- 14:39about it is there was this
- 14:41picture that kept going up
- 14:44with Jimmy Carter when he
- 14:46handed the Pittsburgh
- 14:47Pirates their World Series trophy.
- 14:52I'm a big Pittsburgh Pirates fan.
- 14:54And you can tell that in this picture,
- 14:56high def did not exist.
- 14:58This was back in nineteen
- 15:00seventy nine when they won
- 15:02the World Series.
- 15:04That is the last time that
- 15:05my favorite baseball team,
- 15:07the Pittsburgh Pirates,
- 15:08won a World Series.
- 15:10That was nineteen seventy nine, forty four,
- 15:14forty five years ago at this point.
- 15:16Man, that's sad.
- 15:19And it doesn't look like
- 15:20that's going to change anytime soon.
- 15:24So he passed away.
- 15:26And as well, Linda Lavin.
- 15:28For those of you as old as I am,
- 15:31when I was growing up,
- 15:32there was a show called Alice.
- 15:33She was the main character.
- 15:35In fact,
- 15:37there was a character on there named Flo.
- 15:39They worked at Mel's Diner.
- 15:41My wife and I, for Halloween one year,
- 15:43went as Mel and Flo.
- 15:46We were such big fans of the
- 15:47show when we were kids.
- 15:48But Linda Lavin passed away.
- 15:50She also appeared in a lot
- 15:51of movies lately.
- 15:53Um, like the intern, um, as just kind of a,
- 15:57a bit character, but, uh,
- 15:59so Linda Lavin and Jimmy
- 16:00Carter both passed away the
- 16:01last twenty four hours.
- 16:03Uh, those things usually happen in three.
- 16:05So, uh, looking to see what's up next.
- 16:12The next thing I want to
- 16:13talk about is last night,
- 16:15because we had to delay the
- 16:17CrossFit talk show, yes, Jody Lynn,
- 16:19kiss my grits.
- 16:21My wife is a redhead,
- 16:22so she definitely went as
- 16:23the flow that year for
- 16:24Halloween and pulled off.
- 16:26She has the attitude anyway,
- 16:28but she definitely pulled
- 16:29off the flow with flying colors.
- 16:34So last night, I didn't have the show,
- 16:36so I watched Landman on
- 16:39Sunday for the first time.
- 16:40If you're not watching the show,
- 16:41it is so freaking good.
- 16:43It is Billy Bob Thornton as a,
- 16:46for lack of a better term,
- 16:47a fixer in the oil industry.
- 16:50He is the go-between between
- 16:52the ownership of the oil
- 16:53company and the hands-on
- 16:56workers in the fields.
- 17:00Without giving away too many spoilers...
- 17:04Earlier in the season,
- 17:06they have a female attorney who...
- 17:11they depict as a really cutthroat,
- 17:14ruthless woman.
- 17:16And she's young, but she's driven.
- 17:19And she has to represent Tommy Norris,
- 17:23which is Billy Bob
- 17:23Thornton's character in a deposition.
- 17:26And she rips apart the
- 17:28attorneys for the insurance
- 17:31company who were trying to
- 17:33lay blame on Billy Bob Thornton.
- 17:36So now Billy Bob's roommate
- 17:39is an attorney as well.
- 17:41And he's the one that takes
- 17:42care of when there's accidents,
- 17:45like doing the payoffs to
- 17:46the family to compensate
- 17:50them for their loss and so forth.
- 17:53She wanted to go along with
- 17:54him on the latest one.
- 17:57and uh they make a
- 17:59settlement and she gets
- 18:00very aggressive and when
- 18:02she gets very aggressive uh
- 18:04billy bob's son cooper is
- 18:06actually the friend of one
- 18:07of the of people who lost a
- 18:11spouse in in the accident
- 18:14and he just comes back at her
- 18:18basically poking holes in
- 18:19every one of her threats.
- 18:22And it was so good, so good.
- 18:23I was just riveted by the
- 18:26way it went and it was,
- 18:30it's another Taylor Sheridan
- 18:32show and he did a really
- 18:33good job of making it a surprise, uh,
- 18:36something that you didn't expect.
- 18:37And, um,
- 18:39it was really kind of fun watching, uh,
- 18:41Cooper dismantle her story.
- 18:44And he ended up,
- 18:45and he ends up getting a counter offer,
- 18:47uh, that,
- 18:48is pretty freaking awesome
- 18:50for these families so uh
- 18:52that was pretty awesome if
- 18:53you're not watching layman
- 18:54go ahead and do that I love
- 18:56it because I grew up in
- 18:57western pennsylvania where
- 18:58wildcat drilling for oil
- 19:00happened all around my
- 19:01house um in my backyard was
- 19:04an oil pump um that we
- 19:06would actually play on as
- 19:07kids we probably shouldn't
- 19:08have been uh but we would
- 19:10like hang on to the basket
- 19:11and let it lift us up and
- 19:12down and um yeah
- 19:16So I grew up around the oil industry.
- 19:20The corporate office of
- 19:21Quaker State was in my
- 19:22hometown before it moved in
- 19:23the nineteen nineties.
- 19:25The corporate office for
- 19:25Pennzoil was in my hometown.
- 19:29So the name of my hometown is Oil City.
- 19:32So that tells you how much
- 19:36oil was dependent on.
- 19:40Yeah.
- 19:41Fun in the seventies, Andrew,
- 19:43understand fun in the seventies.
- 19:44Yeah.
- 19:44We, um, we would plan oil pumps, uh,
- 19:49but that's when we were
- 19:49running through the woods, um,
- 19:52swimming in the Creek and
- 19:53doing all that kind of stuff.
- 19:55Um,
- 19:57we had a blast back then in the
- 19:58seventies.
- 20:00Um,
- 20:02Jody's asking you, did I see Goliath?
- 20:04I have not.
- 20:06So I'll have to check that out as well.
- 20:08I think,
- 20:09isn't that Billy Bob Thornton as well?
- 20:11And I think it's on prime.
- 20:13Maybe I've gotten a lot of
- 20:16suggestions for new shows.
- 20:18Uh,
- 20:18so I'm trying to pick out which ones to
- 20:19hit first.
- 20:21Um, but yeah, that's going to be fun.
- 20:24So I'll check out Goliath as well.
- 20:26Jody Lynn.
- 20:29Uh,
- 20:31Kat said,
- 20:31we started Landman last night and hooked.
- 20:35It is so good.
- 20:37So good.
- 20:39Billy Bob,
- 20:40I think he got nominated for the
- 20:42Golden Globe for his performance in this.
- 20:45So he's already getting some recognition.
- 20:49But his monologues are epic in the show.
- 20:51He's so good.
- 20:56Corey wants to know if this
- 20:56is Cowboy Kat or Nurse Kat.
- 20:59It's probably a third cat at this point.
- 21:04So, yeah,
- 21:04if you're not checking out Landman,
- 21:05it's a lot of fun.
- 21:10Cat says, haha, dirty cat, unshowered.
- 21:18Jody also, I binged man on the inside.
- 21:20Oh, that's the new Ted Danson show.
- 21:24Funny, sweet, easy watching.
- 21:26Okay, cool.
- 21:30also this weekend finished
- 21:31um the madness which was
- 21:33suggested to me by jamie
- 21:35and lex um but I'm gonna
- 21:37reserve my conversation for
- 21:39tonight because uh I have I
- 21:42have some uh ranting to do
- 21:44to them that they made me
- 21:45watch that show wow wish I
- 21:51had that six hours back or
- 21:52seven hours whatever it was um anyway
- 21:58And I also watched Carry On
- 21:59on Netflix this weekend
- 22:01with Jason Bateman as a bad guy.
- 22:03I would have never,
- 22:04ever thought that he would
- 22:05be a good bad guy.
- 22:07Oh my gosh.
- 22:09He was so good.
- 22:10So menacing in that role.
- 22:14I went into that movie with
- 22:15such low expectations and I
- 22:17really enjoyed it.
- 22:18And it's probably because I
- 22:20didn't expect anything of it.
- 22:24But yeah, if you haven't seen...
- 22:27Carry on on Netflix.
- 22:29It's pretty good.
- 22:31I don't want to set the bar
- 22:32too high because mine was
- 22:33so low that it made it good.
- 22:37Judy Reed says, Ted Danson,
- 22:39haven't seen him forever.
- 22:40He actually does a podcast
- 22:42where sometimes Woody
- 22:44Harrelson is on with it.
- 22:45It's called Everybody Knows Your Name.
- 22:48It's really good.
- 22:50It's a really interesting
- 22:51take with celebrities if
- 22:56you're into that kind of thing.
- 23:01I've not seen Ozark, Corey.
- 23:04My wife tried to watch it, didn't like it.
- 23:08And so it's something I
- 23:10can't watch when she's here.
- 23:12So I'd have to watch it like
- 23:13in my own time.
- 23:19Yeah.
- 23:21cause Ozark was one that was really, uh,
- 23:23interesting to me.
- 23:24And I wanted to see that.
- 23:26Um, so I don't know.
- 23:27There's so much TV out there.
- 23:29Like how do you even like
- 23:30sift through it all?
- 23:32It's crazy,
- 23:35but I'll have more time once
- 23:36the NFL season's over.
- 23:38Uh,
- 23:39cause I do devote a lot of time to NFL
- 23:41football.
- 23:42And speaking of which, uh,
- 23:45all the reports have been
- 23:46coming out from the Christmas day,
- 23:47Netflix, uh,
- 23:51So, um,
- 23:53Netflix touts big viewership for
- 23:55NFL games and the Beyonce show.
- 23:59Um,
- 24:01the streaming video leader said it's
- 24:02two NFL games on Wednesday
- 24:04reached nearly sixty five
- 24:05million viewers in the US alone.
- 24:08Uh, Netflix first NFL game,
- 24:10the Chiefs and the Steelers
- 24:11recorded an average minute
- 24:12audience of twenty four
- 24:14point one million viewers
- 24:16and the Ravens Texans
- 24:17twenty four point three.
- 24:20Um,
- 24:21And then the halftime show
- 24:23with Beyonce hit twenty
- 24:25seven million and they are
- 24:27actually making that a
- 24:28standalone special.
- 24:29So if you go on Netflix now,
- 24:30you'll see the Beyonce
- 24:32halftime show is a
- 24:34standalone that you can
- 24:35watch without having to sit
- 24:36through the football games.
- 24:38But, man,
- 24:39all this is showing is last year
- 24:41Peacock tried a streaming
- 24:42of an NFL game and it upped
- 24:44their subscriptions immensely to do that.
- 24:48Now Netflix is hitting
- 24:49records with their streaming.
- 24:53I'm starting to see a future
- 24:55for events because Netflix
- 24:58started with the Tyson-Paul fight.
- 25:01Now they do the Christmas Day NFL stream,
- 25:06and their stock is soaring because of it.
- 25:08Their ratings are through the roof.
- 25:10I only see more sports event
- 25:13programming moving to
- 25:15streaming in the future.
- 25:18Amazon Prime does a Thursday
- 25:19night NFL game,
- 25:20and it's been hugely successful,
- 25:22even with the big
- 25:23investment they've put into that.
- 25:26So I only see...
- 25:28My biggest question about
- 25:30this is not just that the
- 25:31NFL is being successful
- 25:32with this or the Tyson Paul
- 25:34fight or whatever,
- 25:37but there's been niche
- 25:39shows that do really well on Netflix.
- 25:44Is it coming to a day where
- 25:45if CrossFit wants to be successful,
- 25:48our goal shouldn't be ESPN,
- 25:51but it should be getting
- 25:53the CrossFit games on Netflix or
- 25:56or getting semifinals onto
- 25:58netflix you know where they
- 26:00can put their marketing arm
- 26:02around it and really tout
- 26:03it um and and advertise it
- 26:08as these big superhero
- 26:10people are fighting to see
- 26:12who's the fittest in the
- 26:13world right like put that
- 26:16netflix marketing arm behind it
- 26:19and let it be streamed.
- 26:20And I think that it actually
- 26:23could be more successful in
- 26:24that vein than trying to go
- 26:26to traditional cable
- 26:28operators like CBS or ESPN at this point.
- 26:32Because it does seem like
- 26:34event programming is really
- 26:36moving to the streaming services.
- 26:39And just living on YouTube
- 26:40isn't enough anymore
- 26:41because you have to do all
- 26:43of the legwork of marketing
- 26:45and all of that yourself.
- 26:49I think if you could get
- 26:51hooked up with a Paramount
- 26:53Plus or a Peacock or a Netflix or a Prime,
- 26:58you would actually have a
- 26:59better chance at growing
- 27:03the sport than doing so in
- 27:07the conventional manner
- 27:08that we've been doing it,
- 27:09just leaving it on YouTube or...
- 27:15or going to ESPN where you
- 27:17never know when it's going to,
- 27:26where it's going to air.
- 27:27Like Corey's saying here,
- 27:28Rogue was on CBS station
- 27:29this past Saturday.
- 27:30We saw it at the bowling alley,
- 27:32but you don't know when that's happening,
- 27:34right?
- 27:35It just happens on like a
- 27:36CBS Saturday afternoon thing.
- 27:38So, so I don't know.
- 27:41It's just,
- 27:43It's going to be,
- 27:44it's going to be interesting.
- 27:45It's just a thought process
- 27:46process I had as I'm
- 27:48looking at these other sports,
- 27:49moving to streaming services.
- 27:51Maybe that's a thought for, um,
- 27:55the fitness world as well.
- 27:56Um, both CrossFit and maybe,
- 27:58maybe that's what the WFP has in plan.
- 28:00Who, who knows?
- 28:06So I'm going to finish up
- 28:06with a little bit of the
- 28:08crazy NFL day yesterday.
- 28:11Um,
- 28:12the New York giants who have
- 28:14only won two games all season,
- 28:15won their third game yesterday.
- 28:17And what's crazy about that
- 28:19is they had the number one pick sewn up.
- 28:22If they just lost out,
- 28:23they win that pick and move
- 28:25to number four pick now.
- 28:26So now they're not going to
- 28:27be able to draft a quarterback, uh,
- 28:30with that number four pick
- 28:31as likely as they could
- 28:32with the number one pick.
- 28:34Uh, so that was crazy.
- 28:35And they eliminated the
- 28:36Colts from playoff consideration.
- 28:39Um,
- 28:41Sam Darnold,
- 28:42who was a cast off of the Jets
- 28:44and the Panthers,
- 28:45won his fourteenth game
- 28:47this season with the Minnesota Vikings.
- 28:50If you called that in Vegas,
- 28:52you would be a very wealthy
- 28:53person this year because
- 28:55nobody saw Sam Darnold
- 28:57coming off the trash heap
- 28:59and leading the Vikings to
- 29:00a fourteen win season.
- 29:02And they still have one game
- 29:03remaining against if the
- 29:06Lions win tonight,
- 29:07another fourteen win team.
- 29:09It will be the first time in
- 29:10NFL history where two teams
- 29:12with fourteen wins meet up
- 29:14in a regular season game in the NFL.
- 29:17And that is next Sunday night's game.
- 29:20The Vikings and the Lions
- 29:21for the number one seed in
- 29:23the NFC and the NFC North division crown,
- 29:29which is absolutely bonkers
- 29:31that two teams from the
- 29:32same division are could be
- 29:34fourteen and two coming into that game.
- 29:37That is just absolute, absolute bonkers.
- 29:42There's a lot of playoff
- 29:43stuff on the line next week.
- 29:45The NFL released its
- 29:47schedule for next week,
- 29:48so that peak excitement
- 29:50throughout both days.
- 29:53They have two games on Saturday,
- 29:54full slate on Sunday,
- 29:57finishing with the Sunday night game,
- 29:59and the Lions and the
- 30:03Vikings to finish it.
- 30:06Back on Rogue, being on CBS, oh yeah,
- 30:09it definitely wasn't promoted.
- 30:10I was surprised it was on at all.
- 30:12Usually,
- 30:12if something CrossFit is airing on
- 30:14a network,
- 30:15I usually get an email or
- 30:16something saying, hey, this weekend,
- 30:19wrap-up show of Rogue, blah, blah, blah.
- 30:22I didn't get anything this
- 30:23weekend about that.
- 30:28So, Corey, could you tell,
- 30:29was it more of like a
- 30:30highlight show or did they
- 30:32actually do like full
- 30:35broadcast of events?
- 30:38I know you were probably
- 30:39busy rolling your two
- 30:40eighty nine score there bowling.
- 30:46Just let me know what you
- 30:47think about that.
- 30:54So.
- 30:56That's all the bizarre stuff
- 30:57I have for the day.
- 30:59Tonight, again,
- 31:01we're going to have the
- 31:01CrossFit talk show tonight
- 31:02at eight o'clock p.m.
- 31:04Eastern time.
- 31:08Where we're going to talk
- 31:08about a lot of the WFP.
- 31:13Corey said they, at fifty-fifty,
- 31:14definitely showed events,
- 31:15but not the full heats by any means.
- 31:18Yeah, so it's one of those, like, recap,
- 31:20wrap-up type deals that
- 31:22they used to do with ESPN
- 31:24when they first did the games,
- 31:26I'm assuming.
- 31:29It was mostly highlights,
- 31:30one hour of Strongman,
- 31:31then one hour of CrossFit,
- 31:32abbreviated events.
- 31:34Okay.
- 31:38Uh...
- 31:44also had interviews with
- 31:45athletes courses okay so so
- 31:48tonight we're going to talk
- 31:49about wfp we're going to
- 31:50talk about the interviews
- 31:51that um will and jackson
- 31:53had on talking elite
- 31:56fitness as well as coffee
- 31:57pods and wads um
- 31:59I'm, we're going to go over those details.
- 32:02We're going to get the
- 32:02impressions of the two
- 32:04athletes on the show, Carolyn and Jamie.
- 32:07And from my text string, it is,
- 32:10it's going to be
- 32:12interesting because they
- 32:12definitely have different
- 32:13feelings than I do for sure.
- 32:16We're going to talk about
- 32:17the CrossFit game season,
- 32:18some of the changes that
- 32:19we've seen today alone.
- 32:21It was just announced by
- 32:22Barbell Spin that Renegade
- 32:25Games in Africa are only
- 32:27going to allow African
- 32:29athletes and people from
- 32:30the UAE to participate.
- 32:33and what we don't know is is
- 32:35that a universal decision
- 32:37across all of the in-person
- 32:39semi-final events or is
- 32:41that something that
- 32:43renegade games has exclude
- 32:45has autonomy to do on their
- 32:47own and I'll try to dig
- 32:51around and see if I can
- 32:53find anything between now
- 32:54and then about that uh
- 32:59We have that.
- 33:00We're going to give out some
- 33:01year-end awards.
- 33:03Tonight,
- 33:03we're also going to talk about the
- 33:05Gauntlet event that we want
- 33:07to be a community event
- 33:08where you line up a series
- 33:11of CrossFit events that
- 33:12would take about an hour to
- 33:14ninety minutes.
- 33:16If you submit a plan or
- 33:18workout series for that,
- 33:21you'll be put in a drawing
- 33:22to win either this coffee
- 33:24cup or this water bottle.
- 33:29like so and um I think what
- 33:35else we have on the dot we
- 33:36have so much just talking
- 33:38about stuff going on around
- 33:39space overall um and again
- 33:45jamie jamie's been
- 33:46remodeling her gym all
- 33:47weekend so hopefully we'll
- 33:48get to see some pictures of that and uh
- 33:53carolyn and lex celebrated
- 33:55lex's birthday yesterday my
- 33:57birthday is coming up this
- 33:58week as well um so maybe
- 34:00we'll talk a little bit
- 34:01about that and with that
- 34:07that's about it as always
- 34:10man it is a blast hanging out with you um
- 34:16Anyone on here suffer from
- 34:17Achilles tendonitis?
- 34:20I have not, Jay Birch.
- 34:22But isn't that what
- 34:23sidelined Christian
- 34:26McCaffrey for most of the
- 34:29beginning of the season for
- 34:30the forty niners?
- 34:33Are you as athletic as him
- 34:35that you you are suffering
- 34:36from that as well?
- 34:41I get plantar fasciitis.
- 34:42I used to get that a lot.
- 34:43I don't get that anymore for some reason.
- 34:48But I've never had the
- 34:49Achilles tendonitis.
- 34:53Anyone else experience that?
- 35:03Jay Burch says this hurts.
- 35:07Judy Reed, her husband does.
- 35:11Yeah, I've seen Judy Reid's husband.
- 35:13He looks like an athlete in
- 35:15the vein of Christian McCaffrey.
- 35:17I could see where he is
- 35:18strong enough and fast
- 35:19enough to hurt his Achilles.
- 35:25That's got to suck, Jay Birch.
- 35:28Sorry to hear that.
- 35:29Yeah,
- 35:29I've only had the plantar fasciitis
- 35:31that comes up the front,
- 35:33and I've had shin splints
- 35:34up the front of my
- 35:44um jay birch does it all
- 35:47bakes baked cheesecake
- 35:48installs windows crossfit
- 35:51acts and plays um used to
- 35:54teach yeah jay birch is he
- 35:58is um he's every man uh
- 36:06corey leonard also scott
- 36:07I'm lucky to bowl a one hundred
- 36:11I used to be,
- 36:12so what's funny is when I
- 36:13first was dating my wife,
- 36:15her dad was in a bowling
- 36:16league and they needed a substitute.
- 36:19And my dad was a big bowler,
- 36:21so he took me all the time
- 36:22when I was a kid.
- 36:25And so I bowled a lot.
- 36:27And then they took me, my current wife,
- 36:34my current wife,
- 36:35her father asked me to be on his team.
- 36:38one quick way to learn your
- 36:40in-laws and to get in with
- 36:42your in-laws is to be a
- 36:43good bowler in Western Pennsylvania.
- 36:46So I ended up going and I did pretty well.
- 36:49I was not doing as well as I,
- 36:51capable of but I but I was
- 36:54doing well enough to win
- 36:55some games and win some
- 36:56matches and but man it was
- 36:58an experience because my
- 37:00father-in-law acts
- 37:01completely different with
- 37:02the guys then he does
- 37:04around the family and to
- 37:06see that side of him early
- 37:08on in our relationship was pretty funny
- 37:13And very nerve wracking at first.
- 37:15But I got to kind of
- 37:17experience that and get to
- 37:18know him a little bit better.
- 37:20And then it got better as
- 37:21our relationship grew.
- 37:23But yeah.
- 37:26Bowling, bowling, bowling.
- 37:27I have not bowled probably
- 37:29in twenty years now.
- 37:32Crazy.
- 37:35Maybe not twenty years
- 37:36because I did bowl some in
- 37:38the mid to two thousand
- 37:41dishes somewhere in there.
- 37:45But yeah.
- 37:51So again, busy week.
- 37:53We'll be here for lunch with
- 37:53the Clydesdale Monday
- 37:55through Thursday this week.
- 37:57Friday,
- 37:57I go in to have my heart shocked
- 37:59back into rhythm.
- 38:01And then Monday,
- 38:01my wife is going to have
- 38:03total knee replacement.
- 38:05So I will miss those two days for sure.
- 38:07She's doing an overnight
- 38:08stay at the hospital.
- 38:10So she gets out Tuesday.
- 38:12Depending on when she gets out,
- 38:13maybe we'll hop on.
- 38:14I'll do some updates on
- 38:15everything on Tuesday.
- 38:18Um,
- 38:18or maybe it'll be a little bit late on
- 38:19Tuesday, uh,
- 38:20but we'll try to do that there.
- 38:23Um,
- 38:23and I also have to move a bed to the
- 38:25main floor and then in the
- 38:27coming days for her for at least a week.
- 38:30So, uh,
- 38:32got a lot of stuff we got to get done, um,
- 38:35in the next few days, but.
- 38:37But I love hanging out with
- 38:38you guys every day at lunch.
- 38:39This has been a really cool
- 38:40thing to start doing.
- 38:42And I appreciate you all so much.
- 38:45Jay Birch, man, hope you feel better.
- 38:47Hope that,
- 38:48that Achilles starts to feel a
- 38:49little bit better and hope
- 38:51you find a way to at least
- 38:53alleviate the pain,
- 38:54if not find a solution.
- 38:58So, and yeah, Jay Birch,
- 39:00you are the Renaissance man.
