  Welcome to the Clydesdale
• 0:33
  Media Roundtable or

  Thursday lunch with the Clydesdale crew,
• 0:37
  whatever you want to call it.

  But it's Mamie and I today.
• 0:42
  Hopefully,
• 0:42
  we'll have the full crew back next week.
• 0:44
  But what's going on, Mamie?
• 0:46
  Not much.
• 0:47
  It's my off day for work and
• 0:51
  my off day for the gym.
• 0:52
  And I just had a massage.
• 0:55
  So, I mean, I do maintenance, body work,
• 1:00
  massages.
• 1:03
  But it was timely because
• 1:04
  yesterday I had a hell of a
• 1:06
  workout where I met Pukie.
• 1:09
  Ooh.
• 1:11
  You don't usually puke.
• 1:12
  No,
• 1:13
  and it wasn't like I puked because I
• 1:15
  was working out so hard.
• 1:16
  It was that I got framlung
• 1:18
  from the workout, and then that made me,
• 1:21
  the coughing made me bleh.
• 1:22
  God.
• 1:24
  God.
• 1:27
  so yeah I uh I was kind of

• 1:46
  starts with you take your
• 1:47
  rucksack okay and you do uh
• 1:50
  forty shoulder to overhead
• 1:53
  No.

  Ground overhead.

  Ground overhead.
• 1:56
  Okay.

  Your rucksack.

  You rock a mile.

  Do you take the rucksack off
• 2:03

• 2:06
  Okay.

  Rock another mile.

  Do twenty ground overhead
• 2:11
  and finish with a mile.
• 2:12
  Yeah.
• 2:13
  She did it.
• 2:13
  She lives in Colorado.
• 2:15
  She did it as a hike.
• 2:16
  Yeah.
• 2:16
  Yeah.
• 2:18
  So she hiked through the mountains,
• 2:21
  came across deer.
• 2:22
  She filmed the whole thing.
• 2:24
  That's cool.
• 2:24
  You got to go watch it on Instagram.
• 2:26
  And I was like,
• 2:27
  that is so Amy to go out
• 2:29
  into the woods and do like
• 2:32
  a rock with some shouldered
• 2:34
  overhead every mile.
• 2:35
  I love that.
• 2:37
  Yeah.
• 2:37
  I bet your shoulders were like,
• 2:40
  I bet they fire fire shoulders.
• 2:44
  Yeah.
• 2:44
  I just, I just thought it was like,
• 2:45
  I've got to tell her cause
• 2:47
  that is right up her alley.
• 2:49
  You're always looking for
• 2:50
  something to get outside.
• 2:52
  Literally in my car that I
• 2:54
  drive around with all the
• 2:55
  time is my weighted vest
• 2:57
  and my hiking shoes.
• 2:58
  They're already in the car.
• 3:00
  Cause you never know when
• 3:01
  you just need to pop over
• 3:02
  and find a trail.
• 3:05
  And Murph can stare at you and no rep you.
• 3:07
  Oh my gosh.
• 3:08
  Seriously.
• 3:08
  Did you see his eyes in that video?
• 3:11
  Like,
• 3:14
  Lex is in the chat.
• 3:16
  She has two doodles that
• 3:18
  know rep her all the time.
• 3:19
  Yeah.
• 3:19
  I mean, they're so judgy.
• 3:23
  Yeah.
• 3:23
  Crazy.
• 3:26
  So if you do it this week,
• 3:27
  you'll have to tell us next
• 3:28
  week how it went.
• 3:29
  Okay.
• 3:31
  Yeah.
• 3:32
  But go check out Becky's post.
• 3:33
  Cause you'll, you'll love it.
• 3:34
  Like she's probably.
• 3:36
  Ten feet from deer.
• 3:37
  Yeah.
• 3:37
  I love that.
• 3:40
  So.
• 3:41
  Yeah, that's pretty cool.
• 3:44
  nice well this weekend um
• 3:47
  one of our teammates
• 3:48
  carolyn prevo is going to
• 3:49
  be competing at crash
• 3:50
  crucible in spartanburg
• 3:52
  south carolina so we are
• 3:55
  rooting for carolyn that's
• 3:56
  quite a far travel it is
• 3:59
  yeah but it's such a well
• 4:02
  put together competition
• 4:04
  and the way jr howell um
• 4:08
  He uses so many different
• 4:09
  odd objects and so many
• 4:11
  different things that you
• 4:12
  don't get to see unless
• 4:13
  you're at the games.
• 4:16
  So they have a sandbag pill,
• 4:21
  which is a very taut
• 4:24
  sandbag and no handles,
• 4:26
  and it's kind of rubberized.
• 4:31
  They have to do like a
• 4:34
  hundred thrusters with that.
• 4:36
  At what weight?
• 4:39
  I don't know exactly.
• 4:40
  I know you asked the details.
• 4:42
  Let me, I'll pull it up real quick.
• 4:47
  Wow.
• 4:50
  The workouts, where are the workouts?
• 4:54
  Okay.
• 4:57
  Let me share my Instagram screen.
• 4:59
  Carolyn just did high rocks.
• 5:01
  She did.
• 5:03
  Which one is,
• 5:04
  I think it's midline sadness.
• 5:06
  Maybe midline sadness.
• 5:08
  Of course.
• 5:08
  Nope, not that one.
• 5:15
  They have all these like fancy schmancy.
• 5:21
  I don't know which event it is now.
• 5:25
  Let me go the other direction.
• 5:28
  I don't know what I'm doing.
• 5:29
  Okay, well.
• 5:35
  If Lex knows what that one is.
• 5:38
  Pilgatory.
• 5:39
  That's it.
• 5:39
  Duh.
• 5:42
  So it's fifty pill thrusters
• 5:43
  at a hundred and seventy.
• 5:45
  So a hundred for men.
• 5:46
  Yeah.
• 5:48
  Fifty chest of bars.
• 5:50
  Then a fifty meter pill lunge.
• 5:53
  Anyhow.
• 5:55
  Then fifty pill thrusters.
• 5:59
  So a hundred pill thrusters.
• 6:01
  Barf.
• 6:02
  Barf.
• 6:04
  What's the time cap there?
• 6:05
  I can't.
• 6:06
  Eighteen.
• 6:06
  Eighteen minutes.
• 6:10
  Yeah.
• 6:11
  Yeah.
• 6:13
  So a lot of people have previewed this.
• 6:16
  We don't need to preview the event,
• 6:17
  but there's a lot of big names there.
• 6:19
  It's what I consider to be
• 6:20
  probably the top tier
• 6:22
  mid-major in the sport now.
• 6:24
  You know,
• 6:25
  if you're not Rogue or
• 6:25
  Waterpalooza or the games,
• 6:28
  like Crash Crucible is right there.
• 6:32
  is there,
• 6:32
  do you have to qualify to compete
• 6:35
  So if you are a games athlete,
• 6:38
  you may get an invite,
• 6:40
  but there is a qualifier.
• 6:42
  And so there's a lot of the
• 6:44
  semifinalists that we have
• 6:45
  interviewed over the years
• 6:46
  are competing there,
• 6:48
  as well as Colton Mertens, Fisa Goffey,
• 6:52
  Carolyn Prevost, Sam Stewart,
• 6:56
  Chris Ibarra, Nick Matthew,
• 7:00
  Olivia Kerstetter, tons, tons of people.
• 7:04
  and it's going to be fun.
• 7:07
  Caroline Stanley, yeah,
• 7:10
  a lot of games athletes as
• 7:13
  well as a lot of,
• 7:14
  but they do the P scoring,
• 7:16
  or not P scoring, Z scoring,
• 7:18
  which is where in traditional scoring,
• 7:22
  you finish first, you get a hundred,
• 7:23
  second, ninety-four, whatever.
• 7:26
  This one,
• 7:27
  if you finish way behind first place,
• 7:30
  you may get seventy-five
• 7:32
  points instead of ninety-four.
• 7:35
  they look at the gap between.
• 7:37
  Okay.
• 7:38
  Yeah.
• 7:39
  And so if you dominate an event,
• 7:40
  you can really get a lead.
• 7:42
  Nice.
• 7:44
  Um,
• 7:45
  I didn't like how it played out last year,
• 7:46
  but we'll give it another try this year.
• 7:49
  See if they need some tweaks
• 7:51
  and see what that looks like.
• 7:53
  And this year they've said
• 7:53
  they're going into the negative.
• 7:55
  So if you are way back,
• 7:58
  you could actually get
• 7:59
  negative points for, um,
• 8:04
  for an event.
• 8:09
  Corey Leonard says it's
• 8:10
  pronounced like Pez.
• 8:13
  He just made that up,
• 8:14
  but tell everybody else
• 8:15
  what started as P scoring,
• 8:17
  it went to Z scoring.
• 8:19
  And so I get confused sometimes.
• 8:20
  Yeah.
• 8:21
  Oh, shoot.
• 8:21
  Yeah.
• 8:29
  I just heard on the TTT
• 8:31
  podcast from Max that they
• 8:34
  are going negative this
• 8:35
  year from Lydia Fish and Sam Stewart.
• 8:39
  But Lex says no.
• 8:40
  Maybe that, maybe not.
• 8:41
  Okay.
• 8:44
  So that was my source for the negative.
• 8:52
  How about our boy, James Townsend?
• 8:57
  Yeah, so bad.
• 8:58
  So was he in a comp?
• 8:59
  Did that happen at a comp?
• 9:01
  Yeah.
• 9:01
  And he was away from home.
• 9:03
  Yeah.
• 9:03
  I knew that part, but I was like,
• 9:04
  I didn't know if he was
• 9:05
  just training with some
• 9:07
  people or if it was a comp.
• 9:09
  Yeah.
• 9:09
  So we had to get on a plane and come home,
• 9:12
  then have the surgery.
• 9:13
  I reached out to him yesterday,
• 9:16
  just sending him a message.
• 9:17
  And he responded back and just said,
• 9:19
  it's been a cloudy last couple of days,
• 9:20
  but thanks for the perspective.
• 9:22
  And
• 9:24
  And that sort of thing.
• 9:25
  So he's such a good guy.
• 9:28
  I know his post was so sad.
• 9:30
  I know.
• 9:30
  That's why I was like, I need to,
• 9:31
  I want to send him some little love.
• 9:33
  I know I'm nobody to him,
• 9:35
  but I would want him to descend.
• 9:37
  And he,
• 9:37
  every time I message him about something,
• 9:39
  he always responds.
• 9:41
  Yeah.
• 9:41
  He's, he's really good.
• 9:43
  Yeah.
• 9:45
  When I interviewed him,
• 9:46
  he said he viewed himself
• 9:47
  as the people's coach.
• 9:49
  People had questions about
• 9:51
  how to do a lift.
• 9:52
  He would answer them.
• 9:54
  He believed it was such a
• 9:56
  gift for him to be able to coach.
• 9:58
  He would coach anybody who asked.
• 10:03
  Yeah.
• 10:03
  Online or whatever.
• 10:05
  And so, yeah, that was crazy.
• 10:08
  Yeah.
• 10:09
  Sucks.
• 10:09
  I hated it.
• 10:10
  Well, with Corey in the chat,
• 10:11
  we've got to say he got an
• 10:14
  invite to Legends.
• 10:17
  Ooh!
• 10:17
  It's official.
• 10:18
  I guess those video
• 10:19
  reviewers agreed that his
• 10:21
  reps were legit.
• 10:25
  So he now has to learn how to swim.
• 10:27
  Okay.
• 10:31
  He did a swimming event at MFC last year.
• 10:36
  Not his best performance.
• 10:38
  Hmm.
• 10:39
  So now he said he's getting
• 10:41
  a month's whatever
• 10:48
  membership to the YMCA so
• 10:50
  he can start working on his swimming.
• 10:51
  Yep.
• 10:54
  Maybe you should coach him up on swimming.
• 10:58
  I told him I wish I lived
• 10:59
  closer because I would.
• 11:01
  It's just tough when you
• 11:02
  can't see the person.
• 11:04
  Right.
• 11:05
  And videoing in a swimming
• 11:07
  pool isn't the best.
• 11:08
  Yeah.
• 11:09
  It's an odd idea.
• 11:12
  Yeah.
• 11:15
  So, but super happy for him.
• 11:16
  He put in so much work this year.
• 11:18
  Uh,
• 11:18
  it was good to see him make it to
• 11:21
  legends.
• 11:22
  So that's pretty awesome.
• 11:24
  I mean, to get older and get better,
• 11:26
  that's pretty, it's pretty sweet.
• 11:28
  So props to you, Corey.
• 11:32
  Uh,
• 11:32
  I did want to highlight something Chad
• 11:34
  Schroeder did.
• 11:36
  I thought this was super cool.
• 11:39
  He put together top
• 11:41
  performances from the
• 11:42
  Masters and teens at the
• 11:43
  twenty twenty four CrossFit Games.
• 11:46
  And he also did it for the
• 11:47
  adaptive division too.
• 11:49
  And you can go to his
• 11:50
  LinkedIn account or not LinkedIn.
• 11:52
  It's on his LinkedIn.
• 11:53
  Yeah.
• 11:53
  Instagram.
• 11:54
  Go to the bio.
• 11:56
  He has a link tree where it
• 11:59
  has all the different
• 12:00
  things that he's done.
• 12:02
  but he, um, and there's just an example.
• 12:04
  This is a list of the all first timers,
• 12:07
  all first timers to the games.
• 12:08
  Okay.
• 12:10
  And then like,
• 12:11
  he does a thing on Jason
• 12:12
  grub consecutive gold medal
• 12:16
  tied for second overall for
• 12:18
  most masters championships.
• 12:20
  The most to Susan Clark was six.
• 12:23
  And he just kind of explains
• 12:24
  everything down.
• 12:26
  Uh,
• 12:28
  Andrea Nistler being one of
• 12:32
  four CrossFit athletes with
• 12:33
  multiple division championships.
• 12:37
  Rich Froning, Samantha Briggs,
• 12:39
  Lisa Mickelson,
• 12:40
  and Andrea Nistler are the
• 12:41
  only four to win in two different.
• 12:44
  So they've won team and Masters.
• 12:47
  Rich won individual team and
• 12:49
  Sam won individual Masters.
• 12:54
  So stuff like that.
• 12:55
  It's really interesting.
• 12:57
  I really appreciated
• 12:58
  everything he put in to
• 13:01
  this and really enjoyed
• 13:02
  reading it because like Will Morad,
• 13:08
  greatest margin of victory
• 13:10
  with eighty eight points
• 13:12
  ever in a Masters competition.
• 13:17
  So pretty good.
• 13:18
  Yeah, I love it.
• 13:21
  But yeah,
• 13:22
  really fun to kind of read and
• 13:24
  wanted to highlight him
• 13:24
  because he put a lot of
• 13:25
  work into that and people
• 13:29
  should go check it out.
• 13:29
  So check out Chad
• 13:30
  Schroeder's Instagram account.
• 13:33
  It's in his link tree and he
• 13:34
  has adaptive teens and
• 13:36
  masters all listed.
• 13:40
  So cool.
• 13:42
  We got cat in the chat.
• 13:45
  So here's my question for you.
• 13:49
  So Rich Froning put out
• 13:50
  there that he thought the
• 13:52
  coolest idea for an
• 13:54
  in-house comp was to take
• 13:58
  the five best people from
• 14:00
  every class time.
• 14:04
  And then on a Saturday,
• 14:05
  have an in-house comp
• 14:07
  because you never see each other.
• 14:10
  Yeah, yeah.
• 14:11
  So it's a way for everybody
• 14:13
  to kind of come together in
• 14:13
  a comp and cheer for your six a.m.
• 14:16
  class or your five a.m.
• 14:18
  class or your four thirty p.m.
• 14:20
  class and kind of cheer on
• 14:24
  the best athletes from each class.
• 14:26
  Thoughts?
• 14:29
  I like that idea.
• 14:30
  I like that it's a community event.
• 14:33
  And doing that, um,
• 14:34
  how are you measuring the
• 14:37
  fittest once just by what
• 14:38
  their scores are on beyond
• 14:39
  the whiteboard?
• 14:40
  I mean, like I would have,
• 14:43
  or whatever their,
• 14:44
  their logging is and like
• 14:45
  over what period of time, like,
• 14:47
  how are you coming up with
• 14:47
  these five people?
• 14:50
  Leave it to you to,
• 14:51
  to go all into the details.
• 14:53
  I like details.
• 14:56
  I like the idea.
• 14:57
  I'm just saying that brings
• 14:59
  up questions for me.
• 15:00
  That's all.
• 15:03
  Um, yeah, I think, I don't know.
• 15:05
  Yeah.
• 15:08
  Because part of who I am,
• 15:10
  like in figuring out the
• 15:11
  details is I also, okay, sorry.
• 15:15
  Um, part of the, that is,
• 15:20
  I also look at like, wow,
• 15:22
  I wonder if there's other
• 15:22
  people that will feel like,
• 15:25
  like borderline athletes
• 15:26
  that want to participate, but aren't yet.
• 15:29
  So I just, yeah, that's all.
• 15:34
  Yeah.
• 15:34
  And you know, if it's a lift,
• 15:36
  you may have a stronger athlete.
• 15:37
  If it's a gymnastics event, you may have,
• 15:41
  that may be a different group.
• 15:43
  Like it would,
• 15:44
  it could be different
• 15:45
  throughout and you could
• 15:47
  even like have a team where
• 15:48
  you pick like the strongest person,
• 15:50
  the most gymnastics person, whatever.
• 15:56
  and hell you can make it
• 15:57
  whatever you want.
• 15:57
  You could have like the best
• 15:58
  scaled athlete, the best, whatever,
• 16:00
  and have different.
• 16:02
  So,
• 16:02
  but each class would have the same
• 16:04
  opportunity to, to fill that team.
• 16:08
  I don't know.
• 16:09
  I just,
• 16:10
  I thought it was an interesting
• 16:11
  concept because he's so right.
• 16:14
  Like when you go to the four
• 16:16
  thirty PM class,
• 16:17
  you don't know the six PM class.
• 16:20
  You don't know the six AM class.
• 16:22
  You don't know the ten AM mother's class,
• 16:23
  right?
• 16:24
  Like,
• 16:25
  Yeah.
• 16:25
  But I guess I feel like that
• 16:27
  we kind of do that in the open.
• 16:31
  Yeah, I guess.
• 16:32
  But even that you can
• 16:33
  schedule times on Saturday
• 16:35
  morning or Friday night or right.
• 16:37
  This is like a one event.
• 16:40
  Yeah.
• 16:41
  One day everybody has to
• 16:43
  come at the same time.
• 16:46
  Yeah.
• 16:47
  Yeah.
• 16:47
  I think it is fun for sure.
• 16:52
  So, okay.
• 16:55
  Yeah.
• 17:00
  Well, the only thing I've left is, um,
• 17:04
  talking elite fitness did a,
• 17:08
  an interview with Mitch
• 17:11
  Bragg from the PFAA.
• 17:14
  And you know,
• 17:15
  that's my favorite subject to talk about.
• 17:16
  I know.
• 17:19
  Um,
• 17:21
  And what's, I don't know why they do this.
• 17:24
  So they do.
• 17:25
  Pause for a second, pause for a second,
• 17:27
  because I would like to
• 17:29
  speak on what Elise just said here.
• 17:31
  Rich isn't worried about details.
• 17:32
  He'll have his crew work
• 17:33
  those out for him.
• 17:35
  Yes, I agree with you.
• 17:36
  But what I would like to
• 17:37
  work on with that is I also
• 17:38
  feel like I'm going to say,
• 17:39
  I'm going to say it right here.
• 17:40
  And this it's about their
• 17:42
  programming because we've
• 17:44
  been using their programming.
• 17:45
  And while I like their programming,
• 17:47
  there are a number of,
• 17:52
  clerical and errors
• 17:54
  constantly that I feel like
• 17:57
  impact and that they send
• 18:00
  out a lot of their
• 18:00
  information and it's in all
• 18:02
  these different spaces and
• 18:04
  it's not like a streamlined
• 18:05
  way to send out those details.
• 18:08
  So I wish they had a better
• 18:11
  system of communication and
• 18:13
  they were more concerned
• 18:14
  about the details because
• 18:15
  it does affect my daily life.
• 18:17
  So, sorry.
• 18:21
  I hear you.
• 18:23
  Yes.
• 18:24
  I value your input,
• 18:27
  but I think that that is
• 18:28
  not exclusive to mayhem.
• 18:33
  I don't disagree with you on that,
• 18:36
  but I think that if
• 18:40
  sometimes I wonder if Rich
• 18:42
  really knew as much as
• 18:44
  there are those challenges,
• 18:47
  if he could get things to
• 18:49
  tighten up or make some tweaks.
• 18:53
  I just feel like, again,
• 18:56
  errors happen and things like that,
• 18:58
  but I think there's a level
• 18:59
  of professionalism and
• 19:00
  there's a level of when you
• 19:01
  are purchasing a product
• 19:02
  that if you're constantly
• 19:04
  having to remark on and
• 19:05
  point out where these
• 19:06
  errors are and challenges,
• 19:08
  that that's really frustrating.
• 19:11
  Jay Burch says,
• 19:12
  headed to Amarillo to judge
• 19:14
  it to eight Oh six classic.
• 19:15
  Rich is supposed to be there.
• 19:16
  Would you like for me to tell him?
• 19:19
  I would like to talk to
• 19:20
  Darren myself sometimes just to be honest,
• 19:22
  just to be like,
• 19:23
  let's work on communication
• 19:24
  styles and see if we can
• 19:25
  tighten up how to clearly
• 19:26
  and effectively communicate.
• 19:30
  Elise says, please Jeff and record it.
• 19:39
  Okay.
• 19:40
  So back to the PFAA, my favorite subject.
• 19:42
  Okay.
• 19:43
  Sorry.
• 19:44
  So
• 19:46
  He was there at the tier cup.
• 19:48
  This was done at the tier cup.
• 19:50
  One of my frustrations with
• 19:51
  Talking Leaf Fitness is
• 19:51
  they release everything audio first.
• 19:54
  So this is on YouTube,
• 19:55
  but it's audio only.
• 19:56
  So you can't see anything.
• 19:58
  And I don't know why that
• 19:59
  bothers me because usually
• 19:59
  I just let it play in the
• 20:00
  background anyway.
• 20:01
  But for some reason,
• 20:03
  a black screen bothers me.
• 20:06
  But they asked what their
• 20:07
  role was at the tier cup.
• 20:09
  And he said that they, that he and grace,
• 20:13
  their chief operating
• 20:14
  officer and some athletes
• 20:17
  not competing reviewed the
• 20:19
  programming and gave input
• 20:22
  on like positioning of kettlebells gave.
• 20:26
  And he gave a couple examples.
• 20:30
  I find that that gets a
• 20:32
  little murky when you have athletes,
• 20:36
  even if they're not competing,
• 20:38
  looking at programming
• 20:39
  because of camps and
• 20:43
  friends and that it just
• 20:47
  gets to be like a weird line,
• 20:49
  but I'm not going to dwell on it.
• 20:50
  I think that whatever, that's fine.
• 20:53
  He also did say that they had talked to
• 20:59
  about what their
• 20:59
  positionings were going forward,
• 21:01
  that they had talked to the
• 21:02
  top-thirty athletes,
• 21:05
  and they learned that not
• 21:06
  everybody is prepared to
• 21:08
  talk about what their wants
• 21:10
  and needs are publicly at this point.
• 21:16
  And one thing that just
• 21:21
  caught me is they've talked
• 21:22
  to the top-thirty athletes.
• 21:25
  Why just the top thirty?
• 21:28
  You've said on Brent and Pat
• 21:30
  have said on other shows
• 21:32
  there's a hundred and some
• 21:33
  members but only ninety voting members.
• 21:37
  Now you're talking top
• 21:38
  thirty which if it's men
• 21:40
  and women you're talking sixty.
• 21:44
  But there were people that
• 21:46
  that didn't want to talk publicly.
• 21:48
  And I think what's happening though,
• 21:50
  is the more that they're
• 21:51
  ambiguous about all of this
• 21:53
  and the more the athletes
• 21:54
  keep coming out and saying they,
• 21:56
  they don't agree with what they're saying,
• 21:58
  like Saxon, like Ariel,
• 22:00
  then Chris Ibarra last
• 22:01
  night on the spin said that
• 22:04
  he was a rookie.
• 22:04
  He didn't really have much
• 22:05
  say in what they were doing.
• 22:08
  I think like the more that that happens,
• 22:10
  the less impact they have
• 22:13
  as a representative of all athletes.
• 22:17
  They also said that they
• 22:20
  pressure test some of their
• 22:22
  ideas with sponsors.
• 22:26
  So if they have an idea of
• 22:27
  something they want to do,
• 22:28
  they're running it past
• 22:30
  some of the major sponsors
• 22:31
  to see if there will be
• 22:32
  kickback from them before they say it,
• 22:37
  which I'm going back and
• 22:39
  forth whether I think
• 22:40
  that's a good idea or a weird idea.
• 22:45
  So I think I need to think
• 22:46
  on that a little bit more
• 22:46
  because I just listened to
• 22:47
  this maybe two hours ago.
• 22:49
  Yeah.
• 22:50
  Yeah.
• 22:52
  Yeah, I think I need to digest that more.
• 22:57
  He also said that they were
• 22:58
  called out by the
• 22:58
  organizers of NorCal for
• 23:01
  putting out the three demands.
• 23:04
  because they had made an
• 23:05
  agreement to partner with
• 23:06
  them on their swim event.
• 23:09
  And the organizer said to them,
• 23:12
  when you guys put out a
• 23:12
  statement like that,
• 23:13
  and we have published you as a partner,
• 23:17
  all of that then comes on to us.
• 23:19
  It reflects on them.
• 23:19
  Yeah.
• 23:21
  And he admitted that they
• 23:22
  did not think about how
• 23:24
  that might affect people
• 23:26
  they partner with.
• 23:30
  Well, okay.
• 23:31
  That's kind of a big deal.
• 23:34
  Yeah.
• 23:37
  Um, he also kept bringing up all this,
• 23:41
  like a storyline season.
• 23:46
  So like week one,
• 23:48
  you have this and then week two,
• 23:51
  you have this and it just,
• 23:53
  it moves systematically.
• 23:55
  And he doesn't mean like it
• 23:56
  has to happen every week,
• 23:57
  but like event one to event
• 23:59
  two to event three in a storyline fashion,
• 24:03
  um,
• 24:04
  And Tommy actually did a
• 24:05
  really good follow-up saying like,
• 24:07
  we all want a storyline
• 24:09
  season and that's been said for years,
• 24:12
  but saying it and doing it
• 24:14
  are two drastically different things.
• 24:18
  Right.
• 24:19
  And he said, well,
• 24:20
  we're just trying to get
• 24:21
  things in motion so that if
• 24:24
  we can't go down this, we need
• 24:27
  And then it became a word
• 24:28
  salad where I just – I
• 24:30
  don't – I just jumbled
• 24:31
  words where I – he was
• 24:33
  saying stuff without saying anything.
• 24:34
  Yeah, yeah.
• 24:37
  But then the final thing I'm
• 24:38
  going to bring up from this
• 24:39
  is he said that they're
• 24:40
  actually in talks with
• 24:41
  events for next season.
• 24:44
  That if CrossFit does not make any move –
• 24:50
  by a certain time.
• 24:51
  And then they asked him about a timeline.
• 24:53
  He didn't have one, but by,
• 24:55
  by a needed time that they,
• 24:59
  they will have an
• 25:00
  alternative season for
• 25:03
  athletes to go through.
• 25:08
  Okay.
• 25:08
  These other events.
• 25:12
  Alternative season.
• 25:13
  Okay.
• 25:14
  So.
• 25:16
  And season in, in quotes, because.
• 25:20
  Like, I don't think it would be a, hey,
• 25:22
  you qualify here to go to here.
• 25:24
  It would be events they
• 25:26
  could participate in to fill the season.
• 25:29
  Sure, sure.
• 25:34
  But the more they talk,
• 25:36
  the less I am encouraged
• 25:39
  that they're truly
• 25:40
  representing all the athletes.
• 25:41
  Mm-hmm.
• 25:46
  And not that they don't have,
• 25:47
  not that some of these ideas aren't good,
• 25:52
  but like when,
• 25:54
  when Lauren and Tommy were
• 25:55
  asking follow-ups,
• 25:56
  they didn't have any more to the idea.
• 25:59
  It's,
• 26:00
  it's one thing to come up with the idea,
• 26:03
  but then there has to be a
• 26:04
  solution to get you to implementation.
• 26:07
  Yeah.
• 26:10
  Yeah.
• 26:15
  Yeah, so right now they're just ideas,
• 26:16
  but there's not solutions
• 26:20
  to back that up.
• 26:21
  Yeah.
• 26:23
  And we had heard rumor last
• 26:25
  week that there would be
• 26:26
  the investigation completed
• 26:27
  and nothing this week so far.
• 26:31
  No,
• 26:31
  and I just saw something that Carolyn
• 26:34
  Lambry posted,
• 26:35
  but I didn't read all the way through it.
• 26:36
  But just, I think she was part of,
• 26:40
  was she part of the,
• 26:41
  she contributed to part of
• 26:42
  the investigation or was
• 26:44
  that a different thing?
• 26:45
  So she's one of the coaches
• 26:47
  that work with the PFAA.
• 26:48
  Okay, yeah.
• 26:50
  So her and I know Justin
• 26:52
  Kotler are big in the PFAA.
• 26:54
  Mm-hmm.
• 26:57
  So I don't I didn't see what she posted.
• 26:59
  I can pull it up if you Yeah, let's do it.
• 27:01
  Let's pull it up.
• 27:16
  Right.
• 27:16
  Do you know which one it is?
• 27:22
  It says time and it says
• 27:24
  October eighth mark the two
• 27:25
  month anniversary.
• 27:26
  of Lazar's death.
• 27:29
  Okay.
• 27:33
  This one?
• 27:34
  Yep.
• 27:40
  The day before that,
• 27:41
  I was speaking with Controlled Strategies,
• 27:43
  the company hired by
• 27:44
  CrossFit to investigate Event One.
• 27:48
  It took me three to four
• 27:49
  weeks to set up that
• 27:50
  meeting after receiving
• 27:51
  their contact information.
• 27:53
  I know everybody wants answers now.
• 27:55
  I do too.
• 27:56
  But I also understand that
• 27:57
  everyone is living with
• 27:58
  this and will be ready to
• 27:59
  speak at different times.
• 28:01
  The meeting went well,
• 28:02
  but I was nervous about
• 28:03
  reliving and discussing
• 28:05
  that fatal morning.
• 28:06
  To my fellow coaches that
• 28:07
  were there August eighth,
• 28:08
  your insight will be invaluable.
• 28:11
  If you were on the fence
• 28:12
  like I was about sharing
• 28:14
  your experience of event one with them,
• 28:17
  DM if you want to know more about mine.
• 28:20
  P.S.
• 28:20
  to all the fans,
• 28:21
  please remain patient and respectful.
• 28:24
  We all love the sport.
• 28:25
  No one wants to see it go away.
• 28:30
  So that just made me think like,
• 28:32
  it's not as right around
• 28:33
  the corner as we think, you know?
• 28:37
  Yeah.
• 28:37
  If they're still trying to
• 28:38
  get eyewitness accounts and stuff.
• 28:48
  Yeah.
• 28:51
  Yeah.
• 28:54
  That was very well written.
• 28:56
  Yeah.
• 28:56
  I mean, again, I think we're all just like,
• 28:58
  we just want to know.
• 28:59
  And it's because I think we, a lot,
• 29:01
  so many people need that to
• 29:02
  move forward and move on.
• 29:04
  Because there's so many
• 29:05
  unresolved thoughts and
• 29:08
  feelings about it that
• 29:09
  people are looking for that to move on.
• 29:11
  But I think, you know,
• 29:12
  we've been talking about it
• 29:12
  takes time for it to be done thoroughly.
• 29:15
  And it's hard when you're
• 29:16
  not getting to see all the
• 29:18
  steps and processes of how
• 29:19
  that happens to kind of
• 29:20
  understand more about it.
• 29:22
  You know, you're just like,
• 29:23
  what the heck is taking so long?
• 29:27
  Yeah.
• 29:28
  And we actually talked about this Sunday,
• 29:29
  like when it comes out,
• 29:32
  then we all have to relive it as well.
• 29:34
  Right.
• 29:34
  Like those of us who were there,
• 29:37
  like that means if I'm
• 29:39
  going to read this report redacted or not,
• 29:42
  like I have to relive that moment again.
• 29:43
  And it was not easy to get over.
• 29:45
  Right.
• 29:47
  And, and,
• 29:48
  and I wasn't even a major player in it.
• 29:52
  Like she was, the athletes were,
• 29:59
  I can't even imagine.
• 30:00
  I mean,
• 30:01
  I talked to Boz a few times that weekend.
• 30:04
  He was devastated.
• 30:06
  I was hurt and I was sad.
• 30:09
  Boz was wrecked.
• 30:17
  I can't even imagine what
• 30:18
  they went through.
• 30:19
  And now they're having to go
• 30:21
  back through it.
• 30:22
  Yeah.
• 30:22
  It's retraumatized testimony giving,
• 30:26
  and then it's going to be
• 30:26
  released and that's going
• 30:27
  to open in the wound again.
• 30:29
  And then there's going to be
• 30:30
  chatter and opinions.
• 30:34
  You know what I mean?
• 30:34
  Like, I feel like we've,
• 30:36
  although there has been
• 30:37
  some differing opinions, I feel like,
• 30:40
  you know,
• 30:40
  CrossFit has kind of come back
• 30:42
  together again, kind of, you know,
• 30:44
  like being supportive with each other.
• 30:46
  And I feel like it's going
• 30:47
  to open that wound up to
• 30:48
  where people are going to separate again.
• 30:51
  Yeah.
• 30:51
  Because whatever you feel,
• 30:53
  I think you're going to be
• 30:54
  able to read that in this document.
• 30:55
  Yeah.
• 30:56
  Right.
• 30:57
  So you just only,
• 30:58
  it's just going to
• 30:59
  strengthen your opinion.
• 31:00
  Yeah.
• 31:05
  Right.
• 31:06
  So.
• 31:06
  Cause usually these things
• 31:07
  don't come out like super definitive.
• 31:13
  Unless you watch the McMahon
• 31:14
  documentary and then some
• 31:15
  of that stuff was super definitive.
• 31:18
  Yeah.
• 31:19
  I haven't gotten to that one
• 31:20
  yet because I'm still
• 31:21
  working my way through the
• 31:21
  Menendez brothers.
• 31:28
  Listen, I have to consume the content.
• 31:33
  Yeah.
• 31:34
  Okay.
• 31:35
  Then that like, thirty years old now.
• 31:37
  It is.
• 31:37
  Yeah.
• 31:38
  Yeah.
• 31:48
  At least I completely agree with you.
• 31:50
  Yeah.
• 31:55
  Completely.
• 31:56
  Yep.
• 31:57
  Can't say it better.
• 32:06
  Going to Pennsylvania this weekend.
• 32:07
  Visit your mom?
• 32:11
  Daughter.
• 32:11
  Oh, okay.
• 32:14
  Yeah.
• 32:15
  She got a new job,
• 32:16
  so we're going to celebrate.
• 32:21
  She got a job in a private studio.
• 32:24
  Awesome.
• 32:31
  I'm driving to Athens today
• 32:32
  to pick up my daughter for fall break.
• 32:37
  But my only agreement into
• 32:40
  doing this was that I will drive there,
• 32:42
  but she has to drive home.
• 32:46
  I'm not spending three hours
• 32:47
  of my day driving.
• 32:48
  I will go get her and then she can drive.
• 32:51
  You can make it there in an
• 32:52
  hour and a half.
• 32:52
  Yeah.
• 32:55
  I'm not speeding either.
• 32:56
  It literally go look up on Waze right now.
• 32:58
  I'll tell you.
• 33:00
  One hour, thirty minutes.
• 33:03
  How long did it take you?
• 33:05
  Two hours.
• 33:06
  What the heck are you doing?
• 33:08
  I'm just kidding.
• 33:11
  Okay.
• 33:12
  Been watching MLB, Scott?
• 33:13
  I am.
• 33:15
  I've been a closet Mets fan
• 33:16
  for a long time.
• 33:18
  And the fact that they're
• 33:19
  actually doing really well
• 33:21
  and last night clinched
• 33:23
  their spot in the NL DS CS
• 33:28
  and LCS champion,
• 33:30
  the nationally championship series.
• 33:34
  Super stoked.
• 33:37
  Francisco Lindor with the
• 33:38
  grand slam last night was awesome.
• 33:43
  My Pirates are still number
• 33:44
  one in my heart,
• 33:45
  but they are never going to
• 33:46
  make the playoffs run by
• 33:48
  that clown that owns them.
• 33:51
  So I am just adopting the
• 33:56
  Mets because Bobby Bonilla
• 33:58
  used to play for them and
• 33:58
  he was my favorite player ever.
• 34:00
  NLDS.
• 34:04
  Yes.
• 34:05
  Yes.
• 34:09
  Well, that's what they just won, Elyse.
• 34:12
  They won the National League
• 34:14
  Division Series.
• 34:15
  Now they're in the National
• 34:16
  League Championship Series,
• 34:19
  which is the NLCS.
• 34:24
  And they will play either
• 34:25
  the Dodgers or the Padres,
• 34:26
  whoever wins game five.
• 34:37
  She dreams of a day when her Reds make it.
• 34:40
  Just like us Pirates fans, Elise,
• 34:43
  you'll be waiting a very, very long time.
• 34:49
  That was an echo.
• 34:52
  All right.
• 34:53
  Well, with that,
• 34:55
  I think that's all we have today.
• 34:57
  Yeah,
• 34:57
  get outside and enjoy the beautiful
• 34:58
  weather.
• 35:00
  Yeah, do your rucking ground overhead.
• 35:03
  You know what I'm going to do?
• 35:04
  I'm going to ruck and mow the lawn.
• 35:08
  Not kidding.
• 35:10
  So I got that new mattress a
• 35:11
  couple weeks ago?
• 35:13
  Yes, Elise, every Saturday.
• 35:16
  Yeah.
• 35:16
  I'm going to lie to you, Elise.
• 35:18
  She starts to watch it and
• 35:19
  then gets nervous and then
• 35:21
  just starts walking around
• 35:22
  doing other things to get out her nerves.
• 35:25
  Okay.
• 35:26
  Scott is a hundred percent right.
• 35:29
  A hundred percent right.
• 35:30
  And then her husband and son
• 35:34
  yell so loud she can tell
• 35:35
  what's happening in the
• 35:36
  game and doesn't even need
• 35:37
  to be inside the house.
• 35:39
  That's a hundred percent also accurate.
• 35:43
  Correct.
• 35:46
  And just some cleanup items.
• 35:49
  Episode five is out for the
• 35:51
  behind the scenes of the Masters.
• 35:53
  Episode six is just about
• 35:55

  Five.

  He was warming up and I'm like,

• 36:57
  And he didn't understand.
