• 0:02
  After this week and talking about Laura
• 0:04
  Horvat so much,
• 0:06
  I think I'm kind of starting to like
• 0:07
  her.
• 0:08
  Let's talk about that next.
• 0:21
  I love the chase and the hunt,
• 0:22
  and I set the pace when I'm running.
• 0:24
  I always take what I want,
• 0:25
  and I always give it one hundred.
• 0:27
  Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
• 0:28
  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.
• 0:36
  Look in the mirror if he is no
• 0:39
  friend to me.
• 0:40
  What's going on?
• 0:41
  It's lunchtime, everybody.
• 0:44
  I don't have train all of in the
• 0:45
  chat.
• 0:45
  Give me my lunch time.
• 0:47
  Right.
• 0:48
  That man.
• 0:50
  I have to,
• 0:50
  I have to go with a Joseph Ramirez
• 0:52
  lunchtime.
• 0:54
  He seems pretty excited about it.
• 0:55
  Nothing else.
• 0:56
  Yeah.
• 0:59
  Just weird.
• 1:00
  You know, you, you have expectations.
• 1:04
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:10
  We got Shay in the chat.
• 1:12
  We got Corey.
• 1:13
  You're here.
• 1:13
  How are you chatting?
• 1:15
  Hey, bro.
• 1:15
  I'm everywhere.
• 1:18
  Every meal is exciting.
• 1:21
  It sure is.
• 1:24
  Look, Ramirez was in the military.
• 1:26
  He understands about every meal being
• 1:27
  exciting because you never know when your
• 1:29
  next one's going to be.
• 1:29
  So every meal is definitely exciting.
• 1:33
  So I've been trying to dial it all
• 1:35
  in, right?
• 1:37
  I'm starting to do my broccoli slaw
• 1:40
  frittatas for breakfast.
• 1:43
  That sounds good.
• 1:44
  So, you know, a little pan spray,
• 1:47
  a little broccoli slaw.
• 1:48
  Let it cook up a little bit.
• 1:50
  Pour some egg white over it.
• 1:52
  And then one egg.
• 1:54
  And then a little bit of Chinese ketchup.
• 1:57
  The sriracha.
• 1:58
  Yeah.
• 1:58
  I got a bottle in my desk.
• 2:01
  And so...
• 2:03
  My wife stays home from work today,
• 2:05
  and she's working from home.
• 2:07
  And she goes, man, that stinks.
• 2:09
  I'm like,
• 2:10
  who asked you to come into my office?
• 2:14
  It seems unnecessary.
• 2:15
  It's my house.
• 2:18
  I just break in every morning.
• 2:22
  Telling me my breakfast stinks.
• 2:24
  And then I go back to my desk,
• 2:26
  and she's like, man, but it looks good.
• 2:30
  Go make your own.
• 2:31
  Oh, wait, it stinks.
• 2:32
  You don't want to leave my breakfast
• 2:36
  alone.
• 2:37
  That's beside the point, Shay.
• 2:39
  I'm trying to be healthy.
• 2:41
  I need support.
• 2:42
  It might still look funny while it's
• 2:43
  cooking, but I guarantee it tastes good.
• 2:51
  Sriracha will now be referred to as
• 2:52
  Chinese ketchup at my house from now on.
• 2:54
  You think we could get a sponsorship if
• 2:55
  I just do this long enough?
• 2:57
  When I say there's one at my desk,
• 2:58
  I'm not kidding.
• 3:00
  It is my favorite sauce in the world.
• 3:02
  It's fantastic.
• 3:05
  You just have to little dots on whatever.
• 3:08
  You don't have to go crazy.
• 3:15
  Sounds great,
• 3:16
  but those damn condiments always have to
• 3:17
  have so much sugar in them.
• 3:19
  actually i don't think it's that bad this
• 3:21
  has zero grams added sure there you go
• 3:25
  right here on the label one teaspoon which
• 3:30
  is five grams is uh about per serving
• 3:34
  zero calories the whole container is
• 3:37
  ninety five servings and i'm only dotting
• 3:41
  the thing so yeah
• 3:46
  That is kind of great.
• 3:47
  Corey, do you live in a flood zone?
• 3:50
  Why are your plugs so high on the
• 3:51
  wall?
• 3:52
  Bro,
• 3:53
  if I can answer that question logically,
• 3:57
  I would.
• 3:57
  I have absolutely no idea.
• 4:01
  My office used to be like a storage
• 4:03
  closet,
• 4:03
  which is why I have my fake window
• 4:04
  right up here on the wall.
• 4:07
  So I have absolutely no idea,
• 4:09
  really and truly.
• 4:11
  Ken,
• 4:12
  looks like I'm buying Chinese ketchup
• 4:13
  today.
• 4:14
  See?
• 4:15
  You know what?
• 4:15
  You're welcome.
• 4:16
  Try it, buddy.
• 4:19
  And then just is like still too spicy
• 4:21
  for me.
• 4:23
  Add a little spice to your life.
• 4:25
  she's a she's a farm girl like she
• 4:28
  just wants whole whole milk like raw milk
• 4:30
  and and probably eating eggs out of the
• 4:32
  yard which i ain't mad at either one
• 4:34
  of them by the way right so yeah
• 4:37
  get some fresh beef salt pepper yeah uh
• 4:44
  next up protein enhanced sriracha but hey
• 4:48
  you said sponsorship and we already got it
• 4:50
  we already got a convert
• 4:52
  yeah look let's see how easy that was
• 4:54
  people sriracha check us out look we were
• 4:57
  we talked about it one time and we
• 4:59
  converted somebody already already got a
• 5:02
  sale right out the gate and before you
• 5:04
  even gave us any any kind of money
• 5:06
  i mean come on uh jess is like
• 5:09
  yes sir megan fresh eggs are the best
• 5:15
  They are.
• 5:16
  My mom and I went down a rabbit
• 5:18
  hole the other day because we were
• 5:19
  watching survivor and they,
• 5:22
  the one team won a rooster and three
• 5:24
  hens and the team killed the rooster to
• 5:28
  eat and kept the hens.
• 5:30
  And I was like, well,
• 5:31
  don't you need one to get the other?
• 5:34
  And so apparently,
• 5:36
  apparently after deep researching this,
• 5:40
  you don't need a rooster to get eggs,
• 5:42
  right?
• 5:43
  You only need a rooster if you want
• 5:45
  those eggs to become chicks.
• 5:50
  Just like a female produces eggs.
• 5:54
  Okay, but here's the thing on that,
• 5:56
  though.
• 5:56
  Survivor is kind of a long-term thing,
• 5:58
  right?
• 5:59
  How long did they go for?
• 6:01
  It's like twenty-eight days or something
• 6:03
  now.
• 6:03
  Okay, so that's not that long.
• 6:05
  All right, never mind.
• 6:07
  Yeah.
• 6:07
  So they kept the hens,
• 6:09
  so the hens will keep laying the eggs,
• 6:11
  and they won't be fertilized,
• 6:12
  which you don't want them to be fertilized
• 6:14
  anyway.
• 6:14
  I was going to say,
• 6:16
  if they were going to be there for
• 6:16
  a while,
• 6:17
  then they could make more chickens by
• 6:20
  having the rooster,
• 6:21
  and that would make more sense,
• 6:22
  because then you've got food supply.
• 6:24
  Yeah, you're not going that long.
• 6:26
  They're not going that long.
• 6:28
  To incubate the eggs would be complicated.
• 6:30
  I've never seen an episode of Survivor.
• 6:34
  FYI, not one.
• 6:36
  Well, it just made me wonder, like,
• 6:37
  because I thought my whole life to get
• 6:39
  an egg to come out of a hen,
• 6:41
  you needed a rooster for it to happen.
• 6:43
  But no, the egg always comes out.
• 6:45
  The rooster only fertilizes the egg if you
• 6:47
  want chicks.
• 6:51
  So.
• 6:54
  Fair enough.
• 6:55
  I need that.
• 6:55
  I mean, it makes sense.
• 6:56
  You know, thing to come up now.
• 6:58
  Yeah.
• 6:59
  We need that on the button on the
• 7:01
  road.
• 7:02
  Yeah.
• 7:04
  Yeah,
• 7:04
  I'll never understand those chicken and
• 7:06
  rooster rules.
• 7:07
  Never.
• 7:10
  Megan, it's basically a hen's period.
• 7:13
  There you go.
• 7:14
  I don't care.
• 7:15
  Yeah.
• 7:15
  Fresh eggs are phenomenal.
• 7:18
  I got a friend of mine that they
• 7:19
  have chickens and we get eggs from them
• 7:22
  fairly regularly.
• 7:23
  And I absolutely love them.
• 7:25
  Joseph, what about Baloo?
• 7:27
  That means the egg's been fertilized.
• 7:29
  That means there was some intercourse
• 7:32
  going on between the rooster and the hen,
• 7:34
  and the egg becomes fertilized.
• 7:38
  And Jess says, from the farmland,
• 7:40
  roosters are a-holes.
• 7:43
  So are geese.
• 7:44
  I don't know if you knew that or
• 7:46
  not.
• 7:46
  They are.
• 7:47
  Ducks, geese.
• 7:48
  Geese are mean.
• 7:51
  We are...
• 7:53
  In Columbus,
• 7:53
  we were inundated with Canadian geese.
• 7:57
  Yeah.
• 7:58
  They're protected.
• 8:01
  If you hit one,
• 8:02
  it's like a seven hundred dollar fine.
• 8:05
  And they waddle their ass across the
• 8:06
  street like they own the joint.
• 8:09
  Oh, my gosh.
• 8:14
  So how does the rooster fertilize the egg?
• 8:16
  Sounds like the rooster gets no play.
• 8:18
  The rooster does have to mount the hen
• 8:21
  to fertilize the egg.
• 8:23
  So you I'm just telling you.
• 8:31
  You learn at lunch.
• 8:32
  You're welcome.
• 8:35
  Megan,
• 8:36
  we lived in Fort Wayne for a while.
• 8:37
  They're everywhere and they are mean.
• 8:39
  Yeah.
• 8:39
  See, we're not that far from Fort Wayne.
• 8:41
  I'm like two hours,
• 8:42
  two and a half hours away.
• 8:44
  I think you put up, yeah.
• 8:46
  It's Canada geese, not Canadian geese.
• 8:49
  They do not have citizenship.
• 8:53
  That's fair, Doug.
• 8:59
  I didn't realize how much I'd learned
• 9:00
  today.
• 9:01
  See?
• 9:02
  This is a learning show.
• 9:04
  This is the most educational show on the
• 9:05
  internet.
• 9:06
  I'm just telling you right now.
• 9:07
  You can learn stuff every day.
• 9:10
  I swear to God, my mom is AD.
• 9:13
  She listens to the show every day.
• 9:14
  She loves Corey.
• 9:16
  She never misses a Corey episode.
• 9:18
  And then at night, we recap it.
• 9:23
  And then there's always questions.
• 9:24
  And we're going Amazon Alexa.
• 9:27
  We're going Google.
• 9:28
  We're doing something.
• 9:32
  Educational and fun.
• 9:33
  Yeah, that's why we're here.
• 9:38
  Look, Shannon.
• 9:39
  I really guys had no idea.
• 9:41
  People didn't know how this works.
• 9:44
  Listen, you and your doctorate degree,
• 9:46
  it can come in here saying all this
• 9:47
  stuff.
• 9:48
  I'm just a simpleton with an MBA.
• 9:51
  I don't know.
• 9:51
  I don't know how biology works.
• 9:53
  Science was my struggle bus.
• 9:56
  Some people are qualified to give health
• 9:59
  advice.
• 9:59
  Some people know about chickens.
• 10:00
  Like, come on.
• 10:04
  Oh, and finally, finally,
• 10:05
  like five minutes late.
• 10:07
  Lunchtime.
• 10:09
  Thanks, Winner.
• 10:13
  Oh, look, we talked about Holly yesterday.
• 10:15
  So what came first,
• 10:16
  the chicken or the egg?
• 10:17
  I'm going to go with chicken.
• 10:22
  The world will never know.
• 10:23
  It's like how many licks it takes to
• 10:25
  get the center of a Tootsie Pop.
• 10:27
  The world will never know.
• 10:28
  The world may never know.
• 10:30
  I'm glad you said that.
• 10:30
  They were talking about, I said,
• 10:32
  play the song on the radio show.
• 10:34
  Let's do it in the morning.
• 10:35
  Bill, I'm a bill on Capitol Hill.
• 10:37
  And that was all about the same time.
• 10:42
  Rob Gilroy is going with the egg.
• 10:44
  Rob doesn't.
• 10:45
  That's one of my best friends on the
• 10:46
  face of the planet.
• 10:47
  He has absolutely no idea what he's
• 10:48
  talking about.
• 10:48
  Don't worry about him.
• 10:53
  Look, these days,
• 10:53
  fifty percent of the population can't tell
• 10:55
  you what a woman is.
• 10:58
  This is a farm show.
• 10:59
  We're not going into that politics.
• 11:03
  Yeah.
• 11:06
  geese are great watch pets for predators.
• 11:09
  I had them on the farm,
• 11:10
  and they protected the other birds.
• 11:13
  I know people that have had geese for
• 11:15
  that reason.
• 11:16
  They didn't have a guard dog.
• 11:17
  They had a guard goose.
• 11:19
  I can see that.
• 11:20
  They are mean as hell,
• 11:21
  and they would do the job.
• 11:22
  They're very territorial.
• 11:23
  If they live somewhere,
• 11:24
  that's where they live,
• 11:25
  and they're accepting no solicitors.
• 11:31
  I need one for my front porch.
• 11:32
  Yeah.
• 11:35
  Well,
• 11:36
  last thing before we get into a little
• 11:37
  bit of CrossFit is yesterday I got my
• 11:39
  CT scan back.
• 11:41
  My doctor has not looked at it yet.
• 11:43
  And so I got it.
• 11:47
  I'm going to share it because I don't
• 11:49
  know what it means.
• 11:51
  Well, maybe Shanna can tell us.
• 11:52
  I'm trying to guess.
• 11:57
  So here we go.
• 11:58
  And this is just the recap at the
• 12:00
  top.
• 12:01
  So these are my sinuses for my CT
• 12:03
  scan.
• 12:05
  I have varying degrees of paranasal sinus
• 12:08
  mucosal thickening,
• 12:10
  overall significantly increased since.
• 12:14
  With findings of chronic bilateral frontal
• 12:17
  sphenoid and maxillary sinusitis,
• 12:20
  total opacification of the left maxillary
• 12:25
  sinus and bilateral frontal sinuses.
• 12:28
  That last sentence doesn't sound great.
• 12:29
  No, no.
• 12:31
  The last sentence, number two,
• 12:32
  really got me.
• 12:33
  Scattered hyperdensity in the maxillary
• 12:35
  frontal ethmoid sinuses could reflect
• 12:39
  insipid secretions or fungal colonization.
• 12:48
  Bilateral paranasal sinus outflow tracts
• 12:50
  are opacified.
• 12:53
  Hold up.
• 12:54
  Just reach.
• 12:55
  Look, brother.
• 12:57
  Left side's full of fluid.
• 13:04
  There we go.
• 13:05
  Basically, you're stuffed up.
• 13:07
  There it is.
• 13:10
  Thank God.
• 13:12
  There we go.
• 13:16
  And I now have a fungal colony.
• 13:18
  Yeah.
• 13:22
  So got those words yesterday.
• 13:25
  There's also like later in a thing about
• 13:27
  something about my septum is off to the
• 13:29
  one side and a bunch of other stuff.
• 13:32
  Yeah.
• 13:32
  Do you have any nose broken?
• 13:39
  Or you ever broke your nose,
• 13:39
  I should say?
• 13:41
  I don't know.
• 13:44
  I don't know.
• 13:45
  I was a bouncer in a bar for
• 13:46
  years, man.
• 13:46
  Right.
• 13:48
  What happened during those times?
• 13:49
  I don't know.
• 13:49
  Got it.
• 13:52
  Yeah,
• 13:53
  they cannot drain because outflow tracks
• 13:54
  block leading to build up a fluid that
• 13:57
  bacteria and fungus love.
• 13:59
  Yeah.
• 13:59
  So that's exciting.
• 14:01
  It was to determine whether an antibiotic
• 14:04
  rinse could be used to go up in
• 14:05
  there to kind of clear it all out.
• 14:07
  Or is it going to take another surgery
• 14:10
  to open it up and get that stuff?
• 14:14
  And so I've been dealing with this for
• 14:16
  four years.
• 14:18
  I've already had one sinus surgery where
• 14:20
  they left a sponge in there.
• 14:22
  I remember that.
• 14:24
  I remember you said you either coughed or
• 14:25
  sneezed and it came out.
• 14:27
  I sneezed and it came out.
• 14:29
  And so now I have got a whole
• 14:33
  new set of doctors.
• 14:34
  I'm going through the whole process again
• 14:36
  to try to get this cured.
• 14:38
  And so the new ENT sent me for
• 14:41
  the CT scan to get these results.
• 14:44
  And as you can see,
• 14:45
  I had the surgery in twenty twenty two
• 14:48
  and it's worse now than it was then.
• 14:53
  So.
• 14:56
  Uh, so see me,
• 14:58
  I've tried all the rinses.
• 14:59
  I've tried all the neti pots.
• 15:01
  I've tried all the stuff.
• 15:07
  It's just, it's just not moving.
• 15:12
  Yeah.
• 15:12
  Thank you for that.
• 15:13
  Um,
• 15:15
  so I have not tried to shop vac
• 15:18
  with the special nasal attachment that I
• 15:21
  still have to give a go.
• 15:24
  i mean do you have a shot back
• 15:26
  because i could build you something to put
• 15:27
  up your nose dude i am there are
• 15:30
  temptations i would be almost willing to
• 15:34
  give it a shot just saying i get
• 15:37
  one hundred percent build you something to
• 15:38
  put up there and we can run that
• 15:40
  shot back and get that out of there
• 15:41
  yeah so before we jump into too many
• 15:46
  other things i did want to share this
• 15:48
  one thing that holly put out today uh
• 15:52
  because this is love on holly week
• 15:56
  Are we talking about the Google doc that
• 15:58
  she made?
• 16:00
  Yes.
• 16:01
  Dude.
• 16:03
  So I'm going to share that right here.
• 16:07
  This came out of Sunday night show.
• 16:10
  People were asking how to qualify for
• 16:12
  different things, how to, what, how, who,
• 16:15
  how many are they taking?
• 16:16
  How many get to the games?
• 16:18
  So this is a Google doc and this
• 16:20
  is the main page.
• 16:21
  This is the, the season is a,
• 16:23
  an outline.
• 16:25
  Then over here on the left,
• 16:27
  you see all of the – and this
• 16:29
  is for Masters.
• 16:31
  You see Legends, Magic City, Online Semis,
• 16:33
  French Throwdown, Torium Pro, LATAM.
• 16:36
  These are all of the Masters competitions.
• 16:39
  When you click on them,
• 16:40
  like here's Legends, here's the date,
• 16:43
  Individuals and Masters,
• 16:44
  In-Person Invitation Only.
• 16:46
  how many people that will be competing,
• 16:49
  how many qualifying spots.
• 16:51
  And then here is all of her resources
• 16:53
  with links to those resources and where
• 17:00
  she got all the information.
• 17:03
  Like, really nice footnoted,
• 17:06
  the whole bit.
• 17:07
  And this is everything she has been able
• 17:09
  to determine up until this point as to
• 17:12
  how you can get to an event and
• 17:14
  eventually get to the CrossFit Games.
• 17:17
  And all in one spot.
• 17:23
  And she will update this as she learns
• 17:25
  more.
• 17:27
  I've also had Magic City reach out to
• 17:29
  me to come on the show and explain
• 17:31
  their process.
• 17:33
  So we'll have Micah on to do that.
• 17:36
  Micah, brother.
• 17:37
  Good lord.

• 18:28
  yeah um
• 18:31
  Yeah.
• 18:31
  If they left a sponge in there,
• 18:33
  I bet it's worse.
• 18:34
  Yeah.
• 18:36
  Yeah.
• 18:38
  So crazy.
• 18:42
  So anyway, there's that.
• 18:44
  I wanted to make sure we shared that.
• 18:45
  Yes.
• 18:47
  Thank you, Holly.
• 18:50
  What I wanted to talk about next is
• 18:54
  more Horvat.
• 18:54
  We've been talking about her all week.
• 18:58
  What is the possibility of her doing the
• 19:00
  games next year?
• 19:02
  Because I have been arguing all week that
• 19:05
  the only thing left for her to accomplish
• 19:07
  to prove greatness is to beat Tia at
• 19:09
  the games.
• 19:11
  She's done everything else.
• 19:14
  Whether you like her or not,
• 19:15
  she is a phenomenal athlete who has won
• 19:18
  a lot of events around the world,
• 19:21
  and the only thing she has not done
• 19:23
  is beat Tia at the games.
• 19:25
  Well,
• 19:25
  that and straight handstand pushups with a
• 19:27
  deficit.
• 19:27
  Well, she's done them.
• 19:29
  It's just not well.
• 19:33
  Sorry.
• 19:35
  It's low-hanging fruit, Scott,
• 19:36
  what you want me to do?
• 19:39
  So I contend now that after Rogue,
• 19:44
  I would say I was indifferent to Laura
• 19:47
  as a fan of her and as an
• 19:49
  athlete.
• 19:49
  Sure.
• 19:51
  The more people are bashing her,
• 19:53
  the more I'm starting to like her.
• 19:56
  And I've always been that way.
• 19:58
  Like I've always,
• 19:59
  I was a Pittsburgh penguin fan.
• 20:00
  Everybody was Mario Lemieux fans.
• 20:02
  I was a Paul coffee fan because I
• 20:04
  didn't want to be the fan of the
• 20:05
  person that got all the notoriety.
• 20:07
  I liked the next person.
• 20:09
  Right.
• 20:10
  And so the more people are hating on
• 20:12
  her,
• 20:12
  the more now I want her to do
• 20:14
  well.
• 20:17
  And I don't know why it's why I'm
• 20:20
  wired that way, but it's happening.
• 20:25
  Um,
• 20:26
  Megan says it was fun watching her at
• 20:27
  Rogan.
• 20:28
  She usually isn't my favorite.
• 20:32
  Uh,
• 20:32
  John George is laughing at me and train
• 20:35
  all of the same.
• 20:39
  Uh, Ken Walters.
• 20:40
  That's another reason why I watch because
• 20:42
  I understand the eighties slang today,
• 20:44
  the bomb yesterday off the hook.
• 20:48
  I am what I am.
• 20:52
  It is what it is.
• 20:54
  So as far as the actual topic, right?
• 20:57
  Can somebody taking Laura Horvath,
• 20:59
  for example, you know,
• 21:01
  that I don't say nobody seems to like,
• 21:03
  but like,
• 21:03
  doesn't seem very personable or whatever
• 21:05
  the case may be become likable.
• 21:08
  Right.
• 21:09
  That's, that's,
• 21:09
  that's what we're looking at there.
• 21:12
  Ricky Mack.
• 21:14
  Yep.
• 21:16
  Ricky Mack.
• 21:17
  I mean,
• 21:20
  Everybody, myself included,
• 21:23
  hated that dude.
• 21:26
  Oh, he's a cheat.
• 21:26
  Oh, he's full of shit.
• 21:27
  Oh, he's blah, blah, blah, whatever.
• 21:29
  Serves his time.
• 21:31
  And let's be honest,
• 21:32
  from what we could see,
• 21:34
  from what the outside could see,
• 21:34
  he was acting like an ass while he
• 21:36
  was serving his time, right?
• 21:38
  Doing the open workouts,
• 21:39
  even though he wasn't able to do the
• 21:40
  open workouts, called it out, Matt Fraser,
• 21:42
  you know, about doing them,
• 21:43
  stuff like that.
• 21:44
  Just kind of being himself,
• 21:45
  really and truly.
• 21:47
  And now look at him.
• 21:49
  Everybody loves that dude.
• 21:50
  Myself included.
• 21:52
  A lot had to do with this dude.
• 21:54
  Yep, sure enough.
• 21:56
  Big fan of Laura.
• 21:57
  Always have been.
• 21:58
  Not sure what she'll do moving forward.
• 22:00
  But those saying she's afraid to show up
• 22:02
  at events that Tia's at is laughable.
• 22:04
  Trust me, she isn't afraid of anyone.
• 22:06
  No,
• 22:07
  I don't think she's afraid of anyone
• 22:08
  either.
• 22:08
  And I think I one percent agree with
• 22:10
  Justin.
• 22:10
  People talk about she's scared to show up
• 22:11
  where Tia is.
• 22:12
  No, she's not.
• 22:14
  No, she didn't do the game.
• 22:16
  One thing left for her to accomplish,
• 22:17
  dude.
• 22:19
  Well,
• 22:19
  she didn't show up to the games this
• 22:20
  year or didn't do the season this year
• 22:21
  for her own reasons,
• 22:22
  and that's perfectly fine.
• 22:24
  I don't think anybody is questioning that
• 22:28
  whatsoever, or if the people are,
• 22:30
  that's on them.
• 22:31
  That's projecting your own insecurities on
• 22:36
  somebody else.
• 22:38
  Anybody is free to do or not to
• 22:40
  do whatever the hell it is that they
• 22:42
  want.
• 22:43
  Did she come off?
• 22:44
  Yes, Jenny, one hundred percent.
• 22:47
  Villains are great for the sport.
• 22:48
  Someone has to get booed.
• 22:50
  And people love the villains.
• 22:51
  They love to boo the villains,
• 22:52
  go to a WWE event.
• 22:55
  Like those are some of the most popular
• 22:56
  people is the people that are considered
• 22:58
  to be quote villains.
• 23:01
  What's crazy about the WWE and where this
• 23:03
  kind of transformed is people started
• 23:05
  cheering for the villains.
• 23:07
  Yes.
• 23:09
  Like the rock and stone cold.
• 23:10
  They all turned heel at some point and
• 23:13
  they were just as popular when they were
• 23:14
  the bad guy as they were as a
• 23:16
  good guy.
• 23:18
  absolutely and yes what john says right
• 23:20
  there uh she is she is herself dude
• 23:28
  tell me yes or no laura versus tia
• 23:32
  at the twenty twenty six games are you
• 23:34
  tuning in to see that yeah of course
• 23:37
  that's it um vindicate everyone better
• 23:44
  start fearing alex
• 23:48
  I said that after Rogue this weekend.
• 23:53
  Dude.
• 23:54
  If she just had a little more time.
• 23:57
  To me,
• 23:57
  she looked a little tired on Sunday.
• 23:59
  Justin may correct me if I'm wrong.
• 24:01
  Because she hasn't had a lot of time
• 24:03
  to prep for this.
• 24:03
  And to do what she did with less
• 24:06
  training time than others was impressive.
• 24:09
  She was my favorite one to watch this
• 24:12
  past weekend for that reason.
• 24:14
  Knowing what just happened.
• 24:17
  broken leg, was going to come back,
• 24:19
  wasn't going to be able to make it,
• 24:21
  was going to do whatever the other,
• 24:23
  I forget what the other one,
• 24:25
  didn't make it,
• 24:26
  and then comes to Rogue and just
• 24:29
  demolishes people.
• 24:31
  Right?
• 24:32
  That girl is an absolute force.
• 24:35
  Tristan, dude, if people don't fear Alex,
• 24:37
  they aren't paying attention.
• 24:41
  He knows the game.
• 24:43
  Jess, Alex is a force.
• 24:47
  Justin, correct, Corey,
• 24:48
  people may not like her reasons for
• 24:51
  showing up,
• 24:52
  but the narrative is she's afraid of
• 24:54
  anyone is silly.
• 24:55
  She's never been afraid of anyone, dude.
• 24:57
  From the first year when she was a
• 24:58
  rookie and she came out from nowhere,
• 25:01
  like nobody knew who she was and just
• 25:03
  was wrecking shop, dude.
• 25:04
  Laura has always been right there.
• 25:06
  You might not like her, but who cares?
• 25:10
  Then he goes on to say, wow,
• 25:11
  to me that Alex isn't getting more love
• 25:12
  after this event.
• 25:13
  She was cleared to squat five weeks ago.
• 25:16
  People better be terrified.
• 25:18
  That's insane.
• 25:20
  Tristan five weeks.
• 25:22
  LMAO.
• 25:23
  Yeah, that's wild.
• 25:26
  She just watched five weeks ago.
• 25:28
  Write it down now.
• 25:29
  So Justin is calling his Sharpie.
• 25:32
  Put that in Sharpie.
• 25:34
  And for those who watch the Sunday night
• 25:36
  show,
• 25:37
  we play a game called pencil pen Sharpie.
• 25:39
  Make a statement.
• 25:40
  Which,
• 25:41
  which apparatus do you write it down in?
• 25:42
  Oh yeah.
• 25:46
  If,
• 25:48
  Cleared a squad five weeks ago,
• 25:49
  goes to Rogue, which is heavy, right?
• 25:53
  They program heavy.
• 25:56
  Comes out, finishes second.
• 25:59
  Get out of here, dude.
• 26:00
  Come on.
• 26:02
  That is insane.
• 26:04
  It wasn't even close to third.
• 26:05
  No, not at all.
• 26:07
  It was Laura, Alex, and everybody else.
• 26:11
  Cavern, next.
• 26:19
  so yeah grant come on dude man that
• 26:26
  is why grant is not the number one
• 26:28
  analyst in the space right there yeah
• 26:30
  check out the heat one results from this
• 26:31
  weekend i think that's a i think i
• 26:37
  think you got a fair argument at this
• 26:38
  point scott number one shot caller right
• 26:43
  here in the media space
• 26:46
  And I said the week before that the
• 26:48
  three men who had the most motivation to
• 26:50
  do well at Rogue and why I'm putting
• 26:52
  them on the podium were Jeff Adler,
• 26:58
  Justin Medeiros, James Sprague.
• 27:00
  One, two, four.
• 27:02
  Let me tell you something.
• 27:04
  And I know people have been saying that,
• 27:05
  but I'm going to say it myself again.
• 27:07
  People better pay attention to Justin
• 27:09
  Medeiros.
• 27:12
  Yeah.
• 27:13
  People better pay attention to Justin
• 27:15
  Medeiros.
• 27:18
  Grant, I know you don't like Alex, bro.
• 27:21
  So keep creating motivation.
• 27:24
  How can you not like Alex?
• 27:26
  I've never seen a video with her or
• 27:28
  an interaction with her that was anything
• 27:30
  but like positive on the up and up.
• 27:34
  Like she seems like everybody's little
• 27:38
  sister, dude.
• 27:38
  Like she's amazing.
• 27:41
  She's definitely one of my favorite
• 27:42
  females in the group for sure.
• 27:46
  It's all right.
• 27:47
  We need hot takes too.
• 27:49
  Just like we need villains.
• 27:51
  If you need hot takes,
• 27:52
  Grant is definitely your go-to guy.
• 27:54
  You can write that down.
• 27:54
  Yeah.
• 27:56
  Well, Grant and Saban.
• 28:00
  I don't forget Gabby,
• 28:01
  but Gabby had won good games and not
• 28:05
  everybody was there.
• 28:10
  And poor Gabby.
• 28:14
  She needs to get healthy.
• 28:22
  Not one?
• 28:24
  Name another.
• 28:29
  She just got second at Rogue, Grant.
• 28:31
  What more do you want after coming off
• 28:33
  a car crash?
• 28:37
  Pam, see me with the mic drop.
• 28:39
  Yeah.
• 28:39
  I mean, dude.
• 28:47
  capital people who are getting major
• 28:48
  clients yeah whatever dude uh big big fan
• 28:54
  of justin not sure if you can call
• 28:56
  him a dark horse or a sleeper but
• 28:58
  he's coming so he's in a weird dark
• 29:01
  horse or a sleeper for sure no but
• 29:05
  but people he wins two consecutive right
• 29:10
  and then whatever
• 29:13
  has a couple of down years,
• 29:14
  for all intents and purposes,
• 29:15
  and now you see him coming back up.
• 29:18
  And what he did at Rogue over the
• 29:19
  weekend was how he won the games both
• 29:21
  times.
• 29:22
  Wasn't real flashy.
• 29:24
  Didn't necessarily have to win any events
• 29:26
  or anything like that.
• 29:27
  Was just consistent.
• 29:30
  I mean, dude.
• 29:34
  Oh, man.
• 29:35
  The back and forth is just too much.
• 29:41
  Let's go.
• 29:42
  Alex has beaten Olivia in every
• 29:43
  competition they have ever been in.
• 29:44
  That's hilarious.
• 29:45
  You have her behind Olivia.
• 29:47
  Laughing my effing ass off.
• 29:51
  Olivia is nineteen, Justin.
• 29:54
  Alex is twenty-four, dude.
• 30:02
  Take a gummy like you told me.
• 30:09
  Young athletes don't have exponential
• 30:11
  increase in performance across time.
• 30:13
  They just peak earlier.
• 30:20
  So, all right.
• 30:24
  So my next topic is all the withdrawals
• 30:29
  at the WFP.
• 30:34
  Bad month or bad sign?
• 30:39
  So we have Haley Adams, Lexi Neely,
• 30:43
  Emma McQuaid, Victor Hoffer,
• 30:46
  and Bethany Flores all withdrawing from
• 30:48
  the finals of the WFP.
• 30:51
  You have Sam Kwan,
• 30:52
  who was torn in Achilles at Rogue,
• 30:55
  and you have Emma Tall,
• 30:55
  who had to withdraw from Rogue with
• 30:57
  another shoulder injury.
• 31:00
  And that's just what we know now.
• 31:03
  so i would take let's take those two
• 31:06
  out because they're injured right so
• 31:07
  that's injuries injuries happen haley
• 31:10
  didn't do a single event right well she
• 31:14
  had any wfp she withdrew from all of
• 31:17
  them haley yeah yeah so haley and emma
• 31:23
  mcquade didn't do a single event they gave
• 31:26
  those those ladies their pro card and they
• 31:28
  were both like no i'm just not coming
• 31:31
  Lexi Neely was in twenty fourth place,
• 31:34
  which just said so in a position where
• 31:37
  she could have earned a pro card.
• 31:39
  Withdrew and it was and it was like
• 31:42
  now.
• 31:44
  Victor Hoffer, another injury, he's out.
• 31:47
  Bethany Flores.
• 31:48
  OK, she's she got pregnant.
• 31:50
  Yeah.
• 31:51
  But then you have now two more people
• 31:53
  getting injured during this long season.
• 31:57
  Elongated season.
• 31:59
  Yeah.
• 32:03
  Vindicate there will be more.
• 32:05
  I think he's right.
• 32:07
  So my next question is,
• 32:08
  if you're Jeff Adler and you had to
• 32:09
  miss tour stop two,
• 32:12
  you just won a quarter of a million
• 32:15
  dollars at Rogue.
• 32:18
  Where's the incentive to go to WIP?
• 32:20
  You have the incentive to...
• 32:22
  your back is now feeling or whatever
• 32:25
  injury you sustained is now feeling pretty
• 32:27
  good.
• 32:28
  Is it worth the,
• 32:30
  the trauma of going to Copenhagen or is
• 32:33
  he a potential another withdrawal?
• 32:35
  Oh, I'd say he's definitely,
• 32:38
  if I'm looking at it,
• 32:40
  it's a risk reward type thing, right?
• 32:42
  Cause you know how much you've competed
• 32:44
  road was heavy road took a lot,
• 32:45
  probably took a lot out of all the
• 32:47
  athletes.
• 32:48
  What Justin says right there makes a lot
• 32:51
  of sense to me.
• 32:56
  it's going to be a least-prioritized
• 32:57
  confidence season.
• 32:58
  It's right before the Open at this point,
• 33:01
  timeline-wise.
• 33:04
  Just road just finished.
• 33:06
  Who wants to travel and compete the week
• 33:09
  of Christmas?
• 33:12
  Justin says, unfortunately,
• 33:13
  I think the final stage of WP will
• 33:14
  be the least-prioritized confidence
• 33:16
  season.
• 33:17
  Athletes are ready for a break.
• 33:19
  And to be able to focus on next
• 33:20
  season, that it's just the way it is.
• 33:23
  Yeah.
• 33:24
  That's a common sense take.
• 33:26
  Thank you, Mr. Collar.
• 33:30
  Yeah.
• 33:30
  I,
• 33:30
  I'm just looking at it from like the
• 33:32
  perspective of some of these athletes who,
• 33:36
  you know, Jeff,
• 33:37
  Jeff looked broken halfway through rogue
• 33:40
  as a person who didn't know if his
• 33:42
  body was going to finish the weekend.
• 33:43
  Right.
• 33:45
  And then it held up and then you
• 33:46
  had like a new confident Jeff at the
• 33:48
  end of the weekend.
• 33:51
  If you're him,
• 33:53
  do you want to take a couple months
• 33:55
  off to be ready for the next season
• 33:57
  in a healthy fashion?
• 33:59
  Or do you want to try to get
• 34:00
  a pro card?
• 34:03
  I think it's a valid question for a
• 34:05
  lot of athletes.
• 34:08
  I think it's a valid question.
• 34:09
  I think, like Justin was saying,
• 34:10
  I think it's kind of a no-brainer.
• 34:12
  And what Travis is adding about, you know,
• 34:13
  it's also right at Christmas time.
• 34:15
  People want to be with their families,
• 34:17
  you know.
• 34:18
  Yeah.
• 34:19
  It's a lot, dude.
• 34:21
  It's a whole lot physically, mentally,
• 34:24
  emotionally, you know, they were,
• 34:26
  you already saw people or heard,
• 34:29
  heard people, I should say,
• 34:30
  like Dallin and talking about being, uh,
• 34:32
  in the warmup area and just didn't feel
• 34:34
  like it mattered when they were in
• 34:36
  Phoenix.
• 34:38
  Right.
• 34:38
  They were just like, eh,
• 34:40
  kind of sending it in at that point
• 34:41
  because they knew they were getting a
• 34:42
  paycheck.
• 34:42
  Well,
• 34:43
  all these guys have already gotten
• 34:44
  paychecks.
• 34:46
  So unless their sponsors are making them
• 34:48
  kind of like making them show up, like,
• 34:50
  Hey,
• 34:51
  I need you to go be out there
• 34:52
  and kind of represent the brand and
• 34:53
  whatnot.
• 34:55
  Why would you care?
• 34:56
  No, I'm not going.
• 34:59
  No, I'm not going.
• 35:00
  No, I'm not going.
• 35:02
  I just don't.
• 35:03
  I just don't.
• 35:04
  I don't, I don't see it.
• 35:05
  I really, really don't.
• 35:07
  I don't see where it makes sense.
• 35:10
  I do wish there was a way we
• 35:12
  could come up with a format that allows
• 35:16
  these athletes to make money throughout
• 35:17
  the season.
• 35:21
  But I think this prestige that ninety
• 35:27
  percent of the athletes put the CrossFit
• 35:29
  Games at that has to still remain
• 35:32
  priority.
• 35:34
  being fittest on earth crown fittest on
• 35:36
  earth means more than anything else right
• 35:39
  now and it will for a very long
• 35:40
  time and I think CrossFit is also helping
• 35:45
  out by hey this is where the game
• 35:47
  is going to be this is when the
• 35:48
  game is going to be now like we
• 35:50
  know in November this is where all the
• 35:51
  semifinals are going to be this is how
• 35:53
  we can decide you're going to qualify this
• 35:54
  year all that's already laid out I think
• 35:57
  the only thing we don't have right now
• 35:58
  is a rule book correct me if I'm
• 36:00
  wrong
• 36:02
  And that usually comes out right around,
• 36:03
  you know, first of the year,
• 36:04
  but not when they kind of adjust whatever
• 36:06
  they need to adjust and then put it
• 36:07
  out there.
• 36:07
  Everything else has been early this year.
• 36:09
  So I'm hoping rule book is early this
• 36:10
  year too.
• 36:12
  Well, if it's on track,
• 36:14
  if it's on point where everything else has
• 36:15
  been going on, then yeah,
• 36:16
  it should be out shortly.
• 36:18
  I would think.
• 36:20
  Especially after that beatdown at Rogue.
• 36:22
  I can tell you the next five weeks,
• 36:23
  Alex won't touch a load over eighty
• 36:25
  percent.
• 36:26
  We'll run and swim a ton.
• 36:28
  I would assume most athletes will do the
• 36:30
  same.
• 36:31
  If they are smart, Mr. Cutler, yes,
• 36:32
  they will.
• 36:36
  Jeff seems very calculated.
• 36:37
  More than likely withdrawal.
• 36:39
  He wants to win the games.
• 36:41
  Yeah.
• 36:42
  And Caroline Lambre said, like,
• 36:46
  they have to look at where they can
• 36:47
  make the most money.
• 36:50
  And if you're Jeff Adler and you've won
• 36:53
  the games and you've won Rogue,
• 36:55
  like that's where the big money is.
• 36:58
  If you can sell those two boxes every
• 37:00
  year.
• 37:01
  It's only where the big prestige is.
• 37:04
  Yeah.
• 37:05
  talk to any one of those guys that
• 37:06
  was at Rogue like the majority of them
• 37:08
  were like oh yeah no Rogue circling my
• 37:09
  calendar every year like I'm going to
• 37:11
  Rogue I want to go do Rogue no
• 37:13
  matter where it's at I mean it was
• 37:14
  in Aberdeen Scotland in the past two years
• 37:16
  and they were more than happy to go
• 37:17
  all the way out there but I understand
• 37:19
  like the weather this year was terrible
• 37:21
  outside well because they're they're
• 37:23
  compensated to go yeah like Rogue is just
• 37:27
  a different animal
• 37:31
  haven't seen the hwp video yet hbo hwpo
• 37:34
  video yet but i will look i have
• 37:37
  done you know i watched pretty much
• 37:41
  anything that's got miss kazan on it i
• 37:42
  think she's fantastic but yeah i don't see
• 37:47
  i see it getting worse before it gets
• 37:48
  better as far as the wwp thing is
• 37:50
  concerned with with with with withdrawals
• 37:54
  and people just pulling out
• 37:59
  I don't think it means as much right
• 38:01
  now to the majority of them.
• 38:05
  The higher level ones.
• 38:06
  Does that make sense?
• 38:10
  I just don't see where it's...
• 38:12
  It's not the games.
• 38:14
  It's not Rogue.
• 38:16
  Is it a big competition?
• 38:17
  Sure.
• 38:18
  Why?
• 38:18
  Because they made it a big competition.
• 38:20
  Because they had enough money to throw
• 38:21
  behind it to have this big production and
• 38:23
  have all these...
• 38:25
  lights and the you know the broadcast and
• 38:28
  all this other stuff but you can you
• 38:32
  can throw money at something and make it
• 38:34
  look really really cool and it still
• 38:35
  doesn't mean anything because it's kind of
• 38:37
  empty and it's kind of hollow and again
• 38:42
  and let's have the final we're going to
• 38:43
  have them uh same week as christmas uh
• 38:45
  same week as what
• 38:52
  Will WFP backfill with challengers?
• 38:54
  If so,
• 38:55
  challengers that didn't do Rogue would be
• 38:56
  fresh.
• 39:01
  He's not wrong.
• 39:02
  Who are those people?
• 39:06
  At this point,
• 39:06
  the backfills are like Emily Lugman.
• 39:10
  I don't think that's a threat to the
• 39:12
  people at the top.
• 39:13
  No, not at all.
• 39:23
  Whoever Rogue hired for the graphics
• 39:25
  package needs to be hired by the games
• 39:28
  and everybody else who can afford them.
• 39:30
  Anybody else who can afford them.
• 39:35
  Savannah was talking about it the other
• 39:36
  day and talking about how expensive that
• 39:37
  shit probably was.
• 39:38
  Or maybe it was Chase.
• 39:39
  I don't remember.
• 39:40
  I think it was Chase was saying how
• 39:41
  much expensive that stuff probably was.
• 39:44
  But holy crap, it was cool.
• 39:47
  Yeah.
• 39:48
  Sorry, guys.
• 39:49
  The fungal colony is moving into my
• 39:50
  throat.
• 39:51
  It's dropping in.
• 39:54
  It's dropping in the sky.
• 39:55
  Yeah, the graphics, like the whole thing,
• 40:05
  that it was so fun to watch.
• 40:07
  It was so fun to watch.
• 40:09
  To the point where, like,
• 40:09
  I would literally,
• 40:11
  I'd have it on TV at home,
• 40:12
  and I had a lot of running around
• 40:13
  on Saturday.
• 40:13
  I'd pause it wherever it was at.
• 40:18
  come back and instead of like oh i'm
• 40:20
  gonna catch up no i'm just gonna pick
• 40:21
  it up right from where i was and
• 40:23
  just wasn't paying attention my phone so i
• 40:24
  could see exactly like who did what and
• 40:26
  when like they did was fantastic i did
• 40:29
  the same on sunday or saturday i watched
• 40:32
  the first two events went over to my
• 40:34
  nephew's to see his new baby and then
• 40:37
  came home and i paused it where it
• 40:40
  was caught up great rogue did a great
• 40:43
  job the whole broadcast production was off
• 40:48
  Off the hook.
• 40:48
  It was off the hook.
• 40:51
  For us Gen Xers out there.
• 40:55
  Absolutely, it was off the hook.
• 40:58
  It was jazzy, man.
• 40:59
  I was jazzed for it.
• 41:02
  What the graphics did for the duel was
• 41:07
  amazing.
• 41:07
  To be able to see that whole thing
• 41:09
  play out on a bracket...
• 41:11
  floating above the floor was phenomenal.
• 41:15
  And then to get rid of all the
• 41:17
  downtime during the duel,
• 41:19
  that event is my favorite.
• 41:21
  And I know it,
• 41:22
  you could never play that at the games
• 41:24
  when you're trying to find the fittest,
• 41:26
  but you, you, you,
• 41:30
  it is so much fun to watch in
• 41:31
  a showcase like rogue is doing.
• 41:34
  And it was again,
• 41:37
  the event itself was fun to watch because,
• 41:41
  Overlog, underlog, overlog, boom.
• 41:45
  Like having to finish on the same,
• 41:46
  like the entire thing was,
• 41:51
  it was so much better than it's been
• 41:52
  in the past.
• 41:54
  Listen to Jenny, people.
• 41:56
  Come on.
• 41:57
  It is the three K. Come on.
• 42:01
  If Rogue fixes the programming,
• 42:02
  does it become the best event of the
• 42:04
  year?
• 42:04
  Even over the games, better money,
• 42:06
  better presentation?
• 42:08
  I don't think they want to.
• 42:10
  The programming, if you listen to Katie,
• 42:12
  the programming doesn't need to be fixed.
• 42:16
  The programming is what they want it to
• 42:18
  be because that is what rogue programming
• 42:21
  looks like.
• 42:22
  Look at any one of their challenges that
• 42:23
  they do randomly through the year, right?
• 42:25
  It's all power output,
• 42:26
  strength output type stuff, right?
• 42:30
  The Fifty Cal Challenge,
• 42:31
  the whatever other, you know,
• 42:34
  what they have, like a squat challenge,
• 42:37
  like all the little challenges and shit
• 42:38
  they do.
• 42:40
  Hold the plate in front.
• 42:41
  Yeah.
• 42:43
  All of that is the stuff that they
• 42:45
  like to showcase, right?
• 42:48
  There's also a strongman competition going
• 42:51
  on at the same time.
• 42:52
  Like that's part of what Rogue is.
• 42:54
  So to appease both sides,
• 42:57
  you're going to have some CrossFit people
• 42:58
  doing some strongman type stuff.
• 43:01
  Because that's what the programming is.
• 43:03
  So it's going to err towards the strength
• 43:07
  side of things.
• 43:08
  And it's been like that since they've been
• 43:10
  doing it.
• 43:12
  Vindicates his final event was big guy
• 43:14
  event here.
• 43:15
  Here's my thing on programming.
• 43:16
  I've never claimed to be someone who can
• 43:19
  analyze programming.
• 43:20
  I don't as a spectator,
• 43:23
  I am viewing this as a spectator.
• 43:24
  What is fun to watch?
• 43:26
  I understand that the games has to be
• 43:28
  balanced and it has to fit every kind
• 43:31
  of box and along the way to make
• 43:34
  sure we get the fittest on earth.
• 43:36
  Rogue is fun to watch for me.
• 43:39
  you, you can say it's not balanced.
• 43:41
  You can say it's a big guy event.
• 43:42
  You can say it's power output,
• 43:44
  but like everybody said that, that, um,
• 43:47
  that back squat snatch, um, uh,
• 43:53
  sandbag clean was a big guy event.
• 43:56
  Emily Rolfe finished top five.
• 43:59
  Yeah, she did.
• 43:59
  Like she debunked that in a quick hurry.
• 44:02
  That's a shock the world for her.
• 44:06
  Um,
• 44:08
  It's just fun to watch for me.
• 44:10
  And maybe it's because I am a big
• 44:12
  guy.
• 44:12
  And maybe I can relate to some of
• 44:14
  the stuff more than a very gymnastic-y
• 44:17
  type waterpalooza or something like that.
• 44:21
  I don't know.
• 44:22
  I just think they know who they are
• 44:24
  as far as programming is concerned for
• 44:28
  their event.
• 44:28
  And that's what they're going to do.
• 44:31
  Right.
• 44:32
  They're not going to suddenly randomly
• 44:33
  throw in just one.
• 44:35
  Yes.
• 44:35
  They did have one long event,
• 44:37
  but that's it.
• 44:38
  They had one long event,
• 44:40
  no ring muscle ups,
• 44:42
  tiny bit of handstand walking.
• 44:44
  Like it wouldn't,
• 44:47
  They know who they are,
• 44:48
  they program for who they are,
• 44:50
  and that's the end of it.
• 44:51
  And I think that's how it should be.
• 44:53
  It's not the games.
• 44:54
  They're not trying to benefit us on Earth,
• 44:56
  and they know that.
• 44:57
  I saw a comment,
• 44:58
  somebody was complaining about the program
• 45:00
  and whatnot,
• 45:01
  but they run parallel to the games.
• 45:04
  They're in their own lane,
• 45:06
  and that's where they excel.
• 45:08
  So why would they change what they're
• 45:10
  doing?
• 45:11
  They're not trying to be the games.
• 45:12
  They're not trying to find the fitness on
• 45:13
  Earth.
• 45:14
  They're trying to put on a spectacle for
• 45:15
  people to see and enjoy and showcase their
• 45:18
  products, by the way.
• 45:21
  Shana says,
• 45:22
  they may not want to be better than
• 45:23
  the games,
• 45:23
  but from a spectator and athlete
• 45:25
  perspective, is it better?
• 45:27
  It might be.
• 45:29
  Now, I think if you ask Jeff Adler,
• 45:31
  it's probably better.
• 45:33
  If you ask...
• 45:36
  Emily Rolfe or I don't know.
• 45:42
  Like I do think that like the gymnastics
• 45:46
  experts would probably contend it's not
• 45:50
  better because they don't have a chance
• 45:51
  maybe.
• 45:53
  But I think the way they're treated is
• 45:55
  better.
• 45:57
  Because they are given a stipend to
• 45:59
  travel.
• 46:00
  The paydays are big.
• 46:02
  Everybody gets money.
• 46:03
  That doesn't happen at the games.
• 46:06
  But it's only a twenty person field where
• 46:07
  the games is a thirty person field.
• 46:10
  So you have to give them that as
• 46:11
  well.
• 46:14
  It's its own thing.
• 46:19
  And look, they keep showing up.
• 46:22
  The athletes keep showing up.
• 46:24
  Nobody's withdrawing from Rogue unless
• 46:25
  they absolutely have to.
• 46:26
  They're not withdrawing from Rogue or not
• 46:28
  participating in it simply because.
• 46:31
  They might show up and phone it in.
• 46:34
  Not picking no names out here,
• 46:35
  but seeing a little bit of that going
• 46:38
  on.
• 46:39
  Sean in Oregon,
• 46:40
  the primary objective of Rogue is to sell
• 46:42
  Rogue.
• 46:43
  If you listen to Katie,
• 46:44
  and I have no reason not to believe
• 46:46
  her,
• 46:46
  the primary objective of Rogue is to give
• 46:49
  a showcase, to treat the athletes well,
• 46:53
  and to put on a show.
• 46:55
  And I think if anybody would know...
• 46:56
  A marketing piece will take care of
• 46:58
  itself.
• 47:00
  They don't need a marketing piece at this
• 47:01
  point.
• 47:04
  You can go in damn near anywhere.
• 47:05
  Any gym, anywhere around here,
• 47:07
  you will find some sort of rope equipment
• 47:09
  somewhere.
• 47:11
  Our entire rig is rope.
• 47:13
  I think all our wall bars are rope.
• 47:16
  We have several rope barbells, plates.
• 47:21
  Travis, I do not believe so.
• 47:22
  If you look at the breakdown of in-person
• 47:26
  semis, and it's still .
• 47:27
  Yeah.
• 47:30
  Tristan's got a solid point right there.
• 47:31
  Yep.
• 47:33
  Complaining about rogue programming is
• 47:34
  like complaining about crash programming.
• 47:37
  You knew what it was going to be.
• 47:40
  Straight up.
• 47:41
  And everybody knows if you go to crash,
• 47:43
  it's going to be odd objects.
• 47:45
  It's going to be funky gymnastics.
• 47:47
  And you're going to get to play with
• 47:48
  things you don't get to play with at
• 47:50
  any other competition.
• 47:57
  And rogue,
• 47:57
  you know it's going to be a power
• 47:58
  output event.
• 48:00
  You're probably not going to get a ton
• 48:01
  of gymnastics.
• 48:03
  if you do they're gonna they're gonna be
• 48:05
  funky in a different kind of way because
• 48:06
  those log muscle ups look awkward as yep
• 48:12
  yeah they don't try to pretend to be
• 48:13
  something else to trick you into coming in
• 48:15
  yeah like
• 48:17
  They know who they are.
• 48:19
  And isn't that what makes people
• 48:22
  successful?
• 48:23
  Identify who you are.
• 48:25
  Identify what your strengths are.
• 48:27
  And just move forward unabashedly.
• 48:30
  A hundred percent.
• 48:31
  And wearing it on their chest.
• 48:34
  And JR does that with Crash.
• 48:37
  And Katie does that with Rogue.
• 48:38
  A hundred percent.
• 48:45
  Never happened, Travis.
• 48:45
  Never happened.
• 48:48
  Katie is never going to take her finger
• 48:49
  off that.
• 48:52
  Not at all.
• 48:54
  Not at all.
• 48:56
  She's awesome.
• 48:57
  That would be like J.R.
• 48:59
  letting Taylor program crash.
• 49:02
  Which is also never going to happen.
• 49:04
  Right.
• 49:07
  That is J.R.
• 49:07
  's event.
• 49:08
  He wants to program it.
• 49:10
  Nobody else is going to do it.
• 49:11
  And Katie is going to feel the same
• 49:13
  way.
• 49:14
  Yeah.
• 49:16
  And that's all of
• 49:18
  They either know that they know what
• 49:23
  they're doing or they think they know what
• 49:24
  they're doing.
• 49:26
  Listen, I'm okay with Dave programming.
• 49:29
  I'm okay with JR programming.
• 49:30
  I'm okay with Katie programming.
• 49:32
  I just don't want Bob and Joe to
• 49:33
  program.
• 49:35
  I'll let you know in a couple weeks.
• 49:39
  I'll let you know in a couple weeks.
• 49:41
  That is it.
• 49:43
  That is where I put my stake in
• 49:45
  the ground.
• 49:47
  Let's just stop that nonsense.
• 49:51
  Again.
• 49:52
  Del Mar will be programmed by them.
• 49:58
  They're only taking twenty in my age
• 49:59
  group.
• 50:05
  Wow.
• 50:09
  All right.
• 50:10
  Not for December.
• 50:11
  For next year.
• 50:13
  For the semifinal.
• 50:13
  Yeah.
• 50:14
  Yep.
• 50:18
  Yeah,
• 50:19
  but Magic City is not that far from
• 50:20
  you.
• 50:21
  Six hours.
• 50:23
  Yep.
• 50:25
  If you're under eight,
• 50:26
  that's drivable and makes it so much
• 50:28
  easier to get to.
• 50:30
  Oh, God, yeah.
• 50:32
  God, yes.
• 50:34
  No, I would much rather...
• 50:37
  Let me tell you,
• 50:37
  this is how close it is.
• 50:38
  I am putting my foot down.
• 50:41
  Absolutely not.
• 50:42
  No,
• 50:43
  you can't go by Larry because Larry wants
• 50:45
  it heavy.
• 50:45
  I don't care if it was the endurance
• 50:47
  games.
• 50:48
  At least it had a theme.
• 50:49
  At least it knew what it was,
• 50:50
  and it made sense in its entirety.
• 50:53
  Whether Larry Young or not is a different
• 50:55
  thing.
• 50:56
  Larry Young wants it heavy.
• 50:58
  The Bob and Joe show doesn't make sense.
• 51:06
  We've done some weird stuff.
• 51:11
  Sorry.
• 51:11
  Love you, Larry.
• 51:11
  Love you.
• 51:12
  And I know that you would love a
• 51:14
  rogue programmed event.
• 51:16
  I know it.
• 51:18
  But no way.
• 51:23
  No way.
• 51:25
  Sitting through two Masters games in
• 51:28
  person, talking to the athletes, trust me,
• 51:33
  you don't want that.
• 51:38
  Some strong opinions were voiced.
• 51:43
  Yeah.
• 51:45
  What's funny is like I took all those
• 51:46
  strong opinions out of the documentary
• 51:49
  because I was trying to build a
• 51:50
  relationship so I could keep doing those
• 51:52
  behind the scenes.
• 51:54
  What good did that do me?
• 51:56
  None.
• 51:58
  None.
• 52:01
  Because they don't want third party people
• 52:02
  around.
• 52:10
  i'm not i'm not sure grubb did like
• 52:12
  it all but because he wins he puts
• 52:15
  on the face that he does jason grove
• 52:19
  it comes he's very diplomatic he's very
• 52:25
  diplomatic and good for him on that like
• 52:28
  he's got he had uh joe on the
• 52:32
  other day on his podcast talking about the
• 52:34
  upcoming what not this legends i'm going
• 52:36
  to but the semi-final he had uh
• 52:43
  Magic City Games guy.
• 52:45
  Micah.
• 52:46
  Micah.
• 52:46
  I keep wanting to say Jonah,
• 52:47
  and I know that's not right.
• 52:49
  He had Micah on right before then,
• 52:51
  like a day or two before then,
• 52:53
  talking about it,
• 52:53
  and he is very complimentary,
• 52:57
  very diplomatic, very positive,
• 53:00
  because he wants people to come back and
• 53:01
  get on his show again.
• 53:02
  Why wouldn't he?
• 53:04
  I didn't want to dive into this,
• 53:06
  but Grubb is programming the Legends
• 53:08
  Championship in December.
• 53:10
  I'm aware.
• 53:11
  That is Bob and Joe's baby.
• 53:13
  Yes, it is.
• 53:16
  If Grubb comes out and says he doesn't
• 53:18
  like their programming,
• 53:20
  what kind of business does he get on
• 53:22
  the backside to work with them in the
• 53:25
  future?
• 53:27
  You go to any Masters competition and
• 53:29
  Boulder Athlete has a huge booth with a
• 53:33
  ton of amenities and a ton of athletes.
• 53:36
  grub can't afford to talk bad about
• 53:40
  anybody in the space because there's not a
• 53:42
  lot of opportunities for masters and so he
• 53:48
  can't say the things that we can say
• 53:50
  yeah and you and you have to understand
• 53:55
  that like his living his well-being is all
• 54:00
  based on his success in the master space
• 54:03
  and having access to all of the events,
• 54:06
  and if he badmouths any of it,
• 54:10
  he loses that.
• 54:14
  He's definitely tied.
• 54:15
  You know what, Tristan?
• 54:26
  Uh, Larry says, I really,
• 54:28
  really don't see why it's so hard to
• 54:29
  have one long,
• 54:30
  one heavy and a ton of CrossFit.
• 54:32
  I'm okay with that on a long weekend.
• 54:35
  It depends on how many days and how
• 54:36
  many events.
• 54:37
  Yeah.
• 54:42
  People get real pissy when you critique
• 54:43
  their programming.
• 54:44
  Trust me.
• 54:47
  Even if they ask you to Tristan,
• 54:50
  which I'm sure you know about that as
• 54:51
  well.
• 54:53
  Like, sometimes, because I've got, hey,
• 54:54
  man, can you look at this?
• 54:55
  I've had a couple friends of mine that
• 54:57
  have written stuff.
• 54:58
  Absolutely.
• 54:59
  And you go, well,
• 55:00
  maybe this instead of that.
• 55:02
  Maybe move this around,
• 55:03
  whatever the case may be.
• 55:05
  Oh, man, well, we already tested it.
• 55:06
  Well,
• 55:06
  then why did you ask me any questions?
• 55:10
  Like, if you want an answer,
• 55:14
  I have answers.
• 55:16
  You might not like them,
• 55:17
  but I want to have answers.
• 55:20
  My own opinions, that's for darn sure.
• 55:25
  All right, guys.
• 55:25
  Well, I need to get back to work.
• 55:28
  Me and my fungal colony to get back
• 55:30
  upstairs.
• 55:32
  We have a lot of stuff to do.
• 55:34
  We've got a lot of work to get
• 55:35
  done.
• 55:39
  So with that, hey, like and subscribe.
• 55:43
  We're really close to three K.
• 55:44
  We need to get to three K.
• 55:47
  It's just a huge personal goal by now.
• 55:50
  And with that,
• 55:54
  John Young asked me if I would want
• 55:56
  rogue programming for the games on their
• 55:57
  podcast I said no but I do think
• 56:00
  we should always have one top end strength
• 56:04
  again as long as it's balanced I'm okay
• 56:05
  yeah now if I was entering a comp
• 56:11
  I would want one top end strength trust
• 56:13
  me but I'm not entering the game if
• 56:17
  there's enough events it makes sense if
• 56:20
  you're testing everything
• 56:23
  You're testing a long endurance event.
• 56:24
  If you're testing top-end strength,
• 56:25
  if you're testing a bunch of sprints or
• 56:27
  a sprint-type deal,
• 56:28
  and you're testing regular CrossFit-type
• 56:30
  stuff, then yeah,
• 56:31
  whatever setting makes sense.
• 56:34
  All right, guys.
• 56:37
  you corey for being here as always thank
• 56:39
  you to everybody in the chat we love
• 56:40
  each and every one of you it was
• 56:41
  a fun chat today learned a lot about
• 56:44
  chickens and eggs and uh fungal colonies
• 56:47
  so uh if you missed any of that
• 56:49
  go back to the beginning check that out
• 56:51
  uh with that we'll see everybody next time
• 56:53
