  Protein, caffeine, all the teams.
• 1:11
  Protein, caffeine, creatine.
• 1:15
  That's as far as it goes.
• 1:17
  Dude, that core power,
• 1:20
  that's some good shit.
• 1:22
  Yeah.
• 1:25
  My nutrition coach, shout out, Blair Drum,
• 1:29
  Miss...
• 1:32
  Smokey the Blair.
• 1:34
  Anyway, she's about to have a baby.
• 1:36
  Not to point.
• 1:38
  On my rest days, which is today,
• 1:40
  I'm still supposed to have
• 1:42
  my protein shake at some
• 1:43
  point during the day just
• 1:44
  to make sure I hit my protein numbers.
• 1:48
  nine days out of ten on my
• 1:50
  rest days I will forget to
• 1:51
  make it when I leave the
• 1:52
  gym in the morning from
• 1:53
  coaching because I just I
• 1:56
  don't think about it
• 1:57
  because I only think about
• 1:58
  it when I'm so I end up
• 2:00
  stopping and picking me up
• 2:01
  one of these because they
• 2:03
  are delicious and it helps
• 2:05
  me hit my protein for the
• 2:06
  day what I find crazy about
• 2:08
  that just knows of mine um is that
• 2:14
  Usually,
• 2:15
  the more protein you add to a shake,
• 2:17
  the chalkier it kind of gets, right?
• 2:19
  Just adding more powder
• 2:21
  usually or whatever.
• 2:23
  In that Fairlife group,
• 2:26
  they have a twenty-six gram
• 2:28
  protein bottle and they
• 2:29
  have a forty-two gram bottle.
• 2:32
  The forty-two gram bottle is
• 2:34
  even creamier and smoother.
• 2:36
  And it's the same size.
• 2:39
  How do they do that?
• 2:40
  What kind of magic power?
• 2:44
  It's the same size bottle.
• 2:47
  It blows my mind completely.
• 2:50
  It's insane.
• 2:54
  ACR.
• 2:55
  Good to see you.
• 2:56
  Miss you.
• 2:58
  They have a thirty gram
• 2:59
  Fairlife too online.
• 3:01
  Yeah,
• 3:01
  my wife had bought a couple of twelve
• 3:03
  packs of those that we had.
• 3:06
  She got the chocolate and
• 3:07
  the vanilla dozer.
• 3:07
  I mean, they're all delicious.
• 3:08
  The Fairlife people have got
• 3:09
  their stuff together.
• 3:11
  And they have strawberry.
• 3:11
  You know, I haven't had the strawberry.
• 3:14
  I'm a big fan of strawberry milk.
• 3:16
  It is just like Nesquik strawberry,
• 3:19
  the pink bunny from my childhood.
• 3:24
  Oh, man,
• 3:26

• 3:28

  No, that is correct.

  eighty-five grams of protein a day.
• 4:14
  That's a lot, dude.

• 4:18
  body weight, per pound of body weight.

  ghost protein.
• 4:29

• 4:30
  energy drink yeah it's
• 4:32
  actually a full supplement

• 4:35
  that I didn't realize they
• 4:36
  did protein though uh so
• 4:37
  they do proteins and you
• 4:39
  can get like nutter butter
• 4:40
  chips ahoy flavored and
• 4:43
  it's like dead on dude at
• 4:47
  legends the uh oh gosh darn it
• 4:54
  First form people were there,
• 4:55
  like they sponsored,
• 4:56
  they were the title sponsor or whatever.
• 4:58
  And so they had a whole
• 4:59
  table set up and they would
• 5:00
  just make you a protein
• 5:01
  shake when you got off the
• 5:02
  floor or if you just walked
• 5:03
  up and asked for one,
• 5:04
  they would give it away,
• 5:04
  their sticks and whatnot.
• 5:05
  They had a salted caramel protein.
• 5:10
  Oh boy.
• 5:11
  No, I'm sorry.
• 5:12
  I'm lying.
• 5:12
  Salted peanut butter.
• 5:14
  Oh, wow.
• 5:15
  And I walked up and I was like, I said,
• 5:18
  bro, I need something.
• 5:19
  And he's like,
• 5:19
  what do you want me to make you?
• 5:20
  And I said, I have no idea.
• 5:22
  Like, surprise me.
• 5:23
  He's like, you like peanut butter?
• 5:25
  I was like, sure.
• 5:26
  Like, I'm an adult.
• 5:27
  Yeah, of course I like peanut butter.
• 5:28
  Who doesn't?
• 5:29
  He made me this salted peanut butter.
• 5:35
  Oh, my God, dude.
• 5:38
  I walked away, like,
• 5:39
  smiling like I was a little kid.
• 5:40
  It's so good.
• 5:48
  Got all these new buttons on here, man.
• 5:52
  So I can actually adjust your mic.
• 5:53
  You were a little bit soft,
• 5:54
  so I upped you a little bit just here.
• 5:56
  Okay, turn me up.
• 6:00
  Spilled has exactly what I need.
• 6:03
  No, I need them to sponsor an old Joker.
• 6:06
  Hey,
• 6:06
  they want to sponsor an old Joker
• 6:08
  podcast.
• 6:11
  We got room on the outline there.
• 6:14
  We wide open.
• 6:15
  We wide open on the table down below,
• 6:17
  as the agents say.
• 6:19
  Bring it up.
• 6:21
  And we're sponsored by Steak.
• 6:23
  Yeah.
• 6:24
  You're laughing, dude.
• 6:25
  Talking about me being from where I am.
• 6:30
  This morning in our little
• 6:31
  group chat for E-Mom Company,
• 6:34
  Brandon put a picture up.
• 6:35
  There was an alligator in
• 6:36
  his neighborhood last night.
• 6:39
  Luck it.
• 6:41
  And I don't know exactly where it's at,
• 6:44
  but I know Brandon lives
• 6:45
  like in a fairly nice neighborhood.
• 6:46
  Like he's got a little pond
• 6:47
  behind his house and whatnot.
• 6:50
  I was laughing because me
• 6:51
  and Roy were talking about it.
• 6:52
  It's the cleanest alligator
• 6:53
  I've ever seen in my entire life.
• 6:54
  It looked like somebody washed it.
• 6:57
  It was just a picture of an
• 6:58
  alligator in the dark on the street.
• 7:01
  And I was like,
• 7:01
  that is the cleanest
• 7:02
  alligator I've ever seen in
• 7:03
  my entire life.
• 7:04
  And Roy said,
• 7:05
  you are the most Cajun person
• 7:06
  I've ever heard of because
• 7:07
  you're the only person I
• 7:08
  know that would say.
• 7:08
  I mean, it's nice, but why is it so clean?
• 7:12
  I'm like, well, dude,
• 7:13
  I've never seen one that's not covered in
• 7:16
  mud and duckweed and everything else.
• 7:18
  It literally looked like somebody was like,
• 7:21
  wax this thing up before it
• 7:22
  gets out on the street.
• 7:24
  When I lived in Tallahassee, Florida,
• 7:27
  you know that in the colder days,
• 7:29
  the alligators would come
• 7:30
  up and lay under the cars to get warm.
• 7:33
  Yep.
• 7:33
  And they tell you that you
• 7:35
  should take a mirror out
• 7:37
  and check before you get in your car.
• 7:39
  Cause they were biting the
• 7:41
  legs and ankles of people
• 7:43
  getting into their cars.
• 7:45
  It's, it's a, it's a thing in the South.
• 7:47
  I, when I told him this morning,
• 7:50
  I was like, generally speaking,
• 7:51
  if you leave them alone,
• 7:52
  they will leave you alone.
• 7:53
  But if they feel cornered,
• 7:56
  Or sometimes if they're hungry,
• 7:57
  they can't one hundred
• 7:58
  percent get aggressive.
• 7:59
  So they're sitting
• 7:59
  underneath your car just
• 8:00
  trying to get warm and you walk up.
• 8:03
  They think that that's their place.
• 8:05
  So, yeah,
• 8:05
  I would say just take a take a
• 8:08
  little peek and see.
• 8:12
  Yes, it probably is.
• 8:13
  Thank God when I lived down
• 8:14
  there at a Jeep that was up,
• 8:17
  it was really easy to look.
• 8:19
  Yeah.
• 8:22
  Nobody... You remember when
• 8:24
  years ago they were talking
• 8:24
  about people hiding
• 8:25
  underneath people's cars
• 8:26
  and cutting their Achilles
• 8:28
  or whatnot and trying to
• 8:29
  rob them or whatnot?
• 8:30
  That's never going to happen
• 8:31
  to me because I drive a lifted Jeep.
• 8:36
  I know somebody's underneath there.
• 8:38
  I really, really miss mine.
• 8:40
  I wish I had it back.
• 8:42
  It was a manual transmission.
• 8:45
  Love that.
• 8:46
  Man, miss it so much.
• 8:47
  But...
• 8:49
  So I just got new tires on mine last week,
• 8:52
  and it's a six-speed.
• 8:53
  And I was watching them when they went,
• 8:56
  because I was waiting to see,
• 8:57
  because nobody knows how to
• 8:58
  drive a standard anymore.
• 9:00
  So I watched one dude walk out to it,
• 9:02
  open it up, get in it,
• 9:04
  and I saw him just looking confused,
• 9:06
  like just looking down like this,
• 9:07
  like he didn't know what to do.
• 9:09
  He went back inside, got somebody else.
• 9:11
  They came out.
• 9:13
  They pulled it in.
• 9:14
  They put my tires on and
• 9:16
  then the dude came out a little while,
• 9:18
  like right as it was done,
• 9:19
  he came in the lobby and he's like,
• 9:20
  Mr. Leonard.
• 9:20
  I was like, yes, sir.
• 9:21
  He said, here's your receipt.
• 9:24
  We got you four new tires.
• 9:26
  He said, I'm going to be real with you.
• 9:29
  Nobody here knows how to drive a standard.
• 9:30
  I'm going to need you to
• 9:31
  back it out of the garage.
• 9:32
  And I said, got you, my man.
• 9:36
  Don't even worry about it.
• 9:39
  That's insane.
• 9:41
  Yeah.
• 9:42
  That's a tire place.
• 9:43
  Like a discount tire.
• 9:48
  It's fantastic.
• 9:49
  Yeah.
• 9:49
  Well,
• 9:50
  one of the things I wanted to talk
• 9:51
  about was, you know,
• 9:53
  yesterday I was talking
• 9:54
  about like Dave being the
• 9:56
  ultimate scapegoat, right?
• 9:59
  And I kind of was pondering
• 10:00
  that overnight.
• 10:02
  And I thought about it like
• 10:05
  they can't fire Dave.
• 10:08
  CrossFit can't fire Dave.
• 10:11
  Because he is taking all the
• 10:15
  slings and arrows.
• 10:16
  You remove him from the equation,
• 10:19
  and it's all on the board and the CEO.
• 10:21
  He is the most
• 10:25
  forward-facing person for the games.
• 10:27
  And I don't think anybody
• 10:28
  else could have survived...
• 10:33
  could have survived what
• 10:35
  Dave has over this year.
• 10:36
  And that's what made me
• 10:38
  start pondering like down the road,
• 10:39
  right?
• 10:40
  Is why is he still there?
• 10:42
  Like everybody wants him fired.
• 10:44
  Everybody's throwing all the blame at him,
• 10:46
  all the hate at him.
• 10:48
  And it's because he's
• 10:50
  protecting everybody else.
• 10:55
  And because of that,
• 10:55
  his job security is
• 10:56
  probably as high as it's ever been.
• 11:00
  That's actually an interesting point.
• 11:01
  I like that.
• 11:03
  If you take him out of the equation,
• 11:05
  there's nobody to hate but
• 11:08
  the CEO and the board of directors.
• 11:13
  It's very, very easy.
• 11:16
  Like I was talking about yesterday,
• 11:18
  for people to point fingers and go, well,
• 11:22
  there's the guy.
• 11:23
  There's the guy right there.
• 11:24
  Because he is the forward-facing guy.
• 11:28
  the games it just is it has
• 11:30
  been or ever even the one
• 11:32
  year that boz programmed
• 11:33
  the games like it was just
• 11:35
  like oh boz is programming
• 11:36
  the games but he didn't
• 11:37
  have and no offense to boz
• 11:40
  boz is awesome but he
• 11:42
  doesn't have the
• 11:44
  necessarily the presence
• 11:46
  that dave has like if you
• 11:48
  if you've been following
• 11:49
  him for a long time like
• 11:51
  you see dave at the games
• 11:52
  running around and like do
• 11:53
  this don't do that do this
• 11:54
  don't do that blah blah whatever and it's
• 11:57
  stuff just happened and it's
• 11:58
  not that saying that boss
• 11:59
  doesn't that doesn't happen
• 12:00
  for boss but nobody's ever
• 12:01
  seen it before like for him
• 12:04
  to be able to if because
• 12:05
  I'm and I keep using boss
• 12:06
  because in my head he said
• 12:07
  he would be the next person
• 12:08
  to step up as being
• 12:09
  programmer for the games
• 12:10
  etc etc but you don't have
• 12:14
  twenty years of boss you
• 12:16
  got twenty years of dave
• 12:17
  and boss being the head judge so yeah
• 12:22
  I think you got a valid point there.
• 12:24
  I don't know if they can't, but if you do,
• 12:27
  what's going to happen?
• 12:29
  Right.
• 12:31
  If you weren't with us
• 12:31
  yesterday or with me yesterday,
• 12:34
  it came from Ariel's
• 12:35
  interview with Siobhan and
• 12:37
  Ariel blaming Dave for the
• 12:39
  way it went down at the games,
• 12:41
  the lack of transparency,
• 12:43
  the lack of right.
• 12:46
  And my thought process was like,
• 12:48
  why is it all?
• 12:49
  Why is it all?
• 12:51
  aimed at dave and not the
• 12:54
  ceo and the board of
• 12:56
  directors who are probably
• 12:57
  really running the show and
• 12:59
  they sent dave out to the
• 13:01
  lions to be the messenger
• 13:06
  right and then I thought
• 13:08
  about it more and I'm like
• 13:09
  well now they've done such
• 13:10
  a good job with getting
• 13:12
  everybody's focus on this
• 13:13
  guy here that now he cannot
• 13:16
  be removed from the equation
• 13:19
  Because if they do,
• 13:20
  all of that attention now
• 13:21
  goes up to them.
• 13:27
  You gave them a shiny new toy.
• 13:29
  They love their toy.
• 13:32
  They can beat on it.
• 13:33
  They can do whatever they want to,
• 13:34
  and it won't go away.
• 13:36
  Because if it does,
• 13:38
  what are you going to replace it with?
• 13:42
  You got a point, dude.
• 13:42
  Yeah.
• 13:52
  So Kaya has a lot here.
• 13:54
  I think they can and might
• 13:55
  once CrossFit is sold,
• 13:56
  depending on the new CEO team.
• 13:58
  Yeah,
• 13:58
  all of this is conditional to the
• 14:00
  current lineup.
• 14:03
  Right.
• 14:04
  Once a new team comes in,
• 14:06
  then it's a fresh start,
• 14:08
  and they may not need that
• 14:10
  shield anymore.
• 14:14
  And then like it or not,
• 14:14
  there are also negatives attached to him,
• 14:16
  such as Lazar's death.
• 14:17
  He doesn't need to be responsible for it,
• 14:19
  but they may not want to carry that bag.
• 14:22
  don't disagree I they may
• 14:24
  want to separate everybody
• 14:26
  that was involved once they
• 14:29
  move to a new plan um to
• 14:32
  just disavow any knowledge
• 14:34
  of that era it's still
• 14:37
  there though I mean it
• 14:39
  happened it's forever it's
• 14:41
  not going away you know what I mean
• 14:45
  But I think her thinking is right.
• 14:46
  I think that there are... If you're a CEO,
• 14:49
  you're a pretty confident person, right?
• 14:51
  Or you're a new owner.
• 14:52
  You're a pretty confident
• 14:53
  person that you have run
• 14:54
  businesses successfully and
• 14:56
  that you can do that moving forward.
• 14:59
  And I think that is...
• 15:01
  Definitely a possibility that they would.
• 15:06
  And even Davis said it on
• 15:07
  his own week in review.
• 15:09
  There's no guarantee he has a job,
• 15:11
  and he's okay with that.
• 15:12
  He has others who will find
• 15:14
  up that if that happens, he'll be fine.
• 15:17
  Yeah, he said that on Pedro.
• 15:18
  Pedro interviewed him last week.
• 15:22
  He was flat out about it.
• 15:23
  He's like,
• 15:23
  I don't know if I'm going to
• 15:24
  have a job tomorrow.
• 15:25
  I'm just going to keep
• 15:26
  showing up to work until I don't.
• 15:31
  Train to Live.
• 15:32
  Ariel's podcast with Savon was great.
• 15:34
  They were both very open from the convo.
• 15:35
  It seems like Dave's
• 15:36
  blessing comments made him the target.
• 15:41
  It was the blessings and
• 15:42
  then the Luca treatment.
• 15:45
  Yeah.
• 15:47
  That's the part that I can't
• 15:49
  get the connection to.
• 15:52
  Dave is not the director of
• 15:53
  the broadcast team.
• 15:56
  So him being put on TV has
• 15:59
  nothing to do with Dave.
• 16:01
  So to make that leap that
• 16:04
  it's Dave's fault that that happened,
• 16:07
  there was a good plan in
• 16:08
  place by the board of
• 16:09
  directors and CEO to make
• 16:11
  him that public face.
• 16:13
  Again, like you're saying,
• 16:15
  that's their shield that
• 16:16
  they're holding up at that point.
• 16:18
  Right.
• 16:19
  And, and like,
• 16:20
  and like you were pointing out yesterday,
• 16:23
  I promise you, he had no say in that.
• 16:27
  They told him, look, before this event,
• 16:30
  we're going to do a tribute to Luca.
• 16:32
  You need to go out there with all the,
• 16:34
  everybody that's going to
• 16:34
  be out there and it's going
• 16:35
  to last for however long it lasts.
• 16:37
  And this is what's going to happen.
• 16:38
  And he was like, okay, moving right along.
• 16:44
  You're right.
• 16:45
  He's the face of CrossFit.
• 16:46
  So they made that connection unfairly,
• 16:48
  in my opinion.
• 16:49
  He was a face of the games
• 16:55
  and he was put there by his boss,
• 16:59
  the CEO and the board of
• 17:01
  directors with a directive.
• 17:03
  With a directive, I am sure.
• 17:05
  And I said that yesterday too.
• 17:07
  He was given a directive of
• 17:08
  what direction they wanted
• 17:09
  to go in and he had to carry that out.
• 17:13
  So that probably gets the
• 17:15
  blessing comment because
• 17:16
  how do we move forward if I
• 17:18
  don't convince these
• 17:20
  athletes to take the floor?
• 17:24
  But who is the only person
• 17:26
  from CrossFit to do a
• 17:27
  public apology for things
• 17:29
  that happened that day?
• 17:30
  It was Dave.
• 17:31
  Yeah, his name is David Castro.
• 17:34
  He is the only person that
• 17:36
  actually did a public apology.
• 17:43
  Lack of funding or lack of a plan.
• 17:48
  Or having a shitty plan in
• 17:49
  place or any of that.
• 17:51
  Haven't seen Berkshire make
• 17:52
  any comments about the situation.
• 17:55
  None.
• 17:56
  None whatsoever.
• 18:02
  So Dave's a soldier.
• 18:05
  You know what soldiers do?
• 18:07
  Carry out the mission.
• 18:08
  Get your orders.
• 18:10
  and you execute them.
• 18:12
  Dave was a Navy SEAL.
• 18:13
  They trained Navy SEALs.
• 18:15
  You know how good of a Navy
• 18:15
  SEAL you have to be to be
• 18:16
  able to be put in a
• 18:17
  position to train other Navy SEALs?
• 18:20
  Which means he executed his
• 18:23
  orders to levels that we
• 18:25
  will never know about how high they are.
• 18:27
  So when you tell him to get something done,
• 18:29
  you better make damn sure
• 18:30
  you actually want it done.
• 18:34
  Does that make sense?
• 18:34
  Like, don't tell Dave, hey, man,
• 18:37
  paint this wall blue.
• 18:39
  And then turn around and go, oh, wait,
• 18:41
  because he's already got it halfway done.
• 18:45
  No.
• 18:49
  Larry Young,
• 18:49
  I'll be glad when it's done
• 18:50
  and we know the new direction.
• 18:52
  I don't disagree with you.
• 18:53
  As I said yesterday,
• 18:55
  I'm not trying to go back,
• 18:56
  but what's happened is that
• 18:58
  the athletes are upset.
• 19:00
  They're upset at the media.
• 19:01
  They're upset at the
• 19:02
  narrative that's being said about them.
• 19:04
  They want to be a professional sport,
• 19:06
  and now all these
• 19:06
  alternatives are coming out,
• 19:08
  like the WFP and like
• 19:10
  Metfix and all these things, right?
• 19:13
  Well, through that whole process,
• 19:16
  there are three...
• 19:19
  Okay,
• 19:19
  four podcasts that interview athletes
• 19:25
  where you can see regularly
• 19:26
  scheduled interviews.
• 19:28
  And generally, before last year,
• 19:30
  it was Coffee Pods and Wads, Savan,
• 19:33
  Talking Elite Fitness, and us.
• 19:39
  All of us have taken a step
• 19:40
  back from interviewing
• 19:42
  athletes regularly.
• 19:44
  since the games because it
• 19:46
  created a rift right and
• 19:49
  now for the first time
• 19:51
  we're we're all kind of
• 19:52
  picking up the pace a
• 19:53
  little bit on that so
• 19:55
  you're hearing people's
• 19:56
  comments for the first time
• 19:58
  since the games and now
• 20:01
  it's opening all this up
• 20:04
  and I want that opening up
• 20:06
  to be a resolution that we
• 20:09
  can come to or an agreement
• 20:11
  maybe not everybody's happy
• 20:12
  at the end of the day but
• 20:14
  it's a resolution where we
• 20:15
  can move forward but you're
• 20:18
  never going to make
• 20:18
  everybody happy didn't say
• 20:20
  we'd I that's why I don't
• 20:22
  care if we're all happy
• 20:23
  yeah I just I'm good no I'm
• 20:25
  agreeing with you on that
• 20:25
  one like you're never going
• 20:26
  to make everybody happy and
• 20:27
  the people who are going to
• 20:28
  be mad they're going to be
• 20:29
  mad regardless of what you tell them
• 20:32
  In my opinion,
• 20:32
  that's how it dealing with
• 20:33
  public and various people
• 20:35
  in my job and in my daily life,
• 20:38
  the people who choose to be
• 20:39
  upset about whatever it is
• 20:42
  are going to be upset.
• 20:43
  And it doesn't matter if
• 20:45
  they get their way or if
• 20:46
  they don't get their way.
• 20:47
  They're going to be walking
• 20:48
  around with a booty on
• 20:49
  their face regardless.
• 20:53
  Right.
• 20:54
  Because just because they're
• 20:55
  choosing to be upset.
• 20:57
  Just with yesterday with
• 20:59
  Ariel and Monday with Fee,
• 21:01
  we've learned that there
• 21:02
  are two misconceptions already.
• 21:07
  Fee didn't know what the
• 21:08
  letter actually said that
• 21:10
  she signed because she
• 21:12
  thought Dave could stay on
• 21:13
  and program the games and
• 21:14
  everything was going to be
• 21:16
  fine and dandy there.
• 21:17
  She just didn't want him in
• 21:18
  charge of safety.
• 21:18
  Right.
• 21:20
  But that's not what the
• 21:20
  letter said demanding his firing.
• 21:22
  I don't know.
• 21:25
  And Ariel said that she was
• 21:27
  mad that Dave allowed them
• 21:29
  to parade Luca out and show him on TV.
• 21:32
  How the hell could he control that?
• 21:35
  Yeah.
• 21:36
  He has no control over that whatsoever.
• 21:37
  Right.
• 21:39
  So there's all these
• 21:40
  misconceptions and we don't
• 21:41
  even know what they are
• 21:42
  because we haven't been
• 21:43
  speaking to the athletes.
• 21:47
  And if I'm going to be blunt,
• 21:49
  talking elite fitness would
• 21:50
  never dive to this level to
• 21:52
  even find out what their
• 21:53
  thoughts and feelings were.
• 21:56
  No,
• 21:56
  they're still asking athletes what
• 21:57
  their favorite color is and how much,
• 22:01
  what's a day you're eating
• 22:03
  like and how long you've
• 22:05
  been training for the game.
• 22:06
  I'm not getting into that.
• 22:11
  So what I'm hoping is,
• 22:13
  is that now that we're talking,
• 22:16
  we can get through some of
• 22:18
  these misconceptions and
• 22:20
  come to an agreement that
• 22:22
  with the reality of what
• 22:24
  exists and move forward?
• 22:30
  I think there's a whole lot of,
• 22:33
  like you were saying,
• 22:35
  if he thought one thing was going on,
• 22:38
  was upset about one thing,
• 22:39
  thought she was signing
• 22:41
  something that was totally
• 22:42
  not what it was.
• 22:44
  Ariel was basically in the
• 22:46
  same type of boat, right?
• 22:47
  She just was mad about
• 22:48
  something that she thought
• 22:50
  somebody had control over
• 22:51
  that they didn't.
• 22:52
  I feel like there's a lot of
• 22:53
  that out there in the
• 22:54
  people who are upset
• 22:56
  because they have this one
• 22:57
  perception in their mind
• 22:59
  And it's either right, wrong,
• 23:01
  or indifferent.
• 23:02
  That's what they're running with, right?
• 23:03
  Perception is reality.
• 23:04
  Whatever you perceive,
• 23:05
  that's what you're thinking.
• 23:07
  That's where you're laying out.
• 23:09
  And without any kind of clarification,
• 23:11
  like you said,
• 23:12
  because it's just starting
• 23:14
  to pick up where people are
• 23:15
  starting to interview athletes again.
• 23:16
  You are starting to
• 23:17
  interview athletes again.
• 23:19
  Pedro has been here, there, and yonder,
• 23:21
  but not a whole heck of a lot, right?
• 23:23
  Most of what he's been doing
• 23:24
  has been around the
• 23:25
  whiteboard show and
• 23:27
  interviewing this person,
• 23:29
  this person here, blah, blah, whatever.
• 23:33
  Savan has just started
• 23:35
  interviewing actual
• 23:36
  athletes again in that capacity.
• 23:38
  Might have had him on the
• 23:39
  bullshit for a little while,
• 23:40
  but actually what he was
• 23:42
  doing with Fee and with
• 23:44
  Ariel and asking in-depth questions,
• 23:47
  that hasn't happened.
• 23:49
  So there's a lot of misinformation,
• 23:54
  miscommunication, mis-whatever,
• 23:57
  perceived realities in
• 23:58
  people's heads that may not
• 24:00
  be exactly what happened.
• 24:02
  And without them all being
• 24:03
  able to get together and talk about it,
• 24:04
  or at least be able to put
• 24:05
  their stories out where
• 24:06
  other people can go look and go, oh shit,
• 24:08
  is that actually what happened?
• 24:11
  Nobody's ever gonna know.
• 24:12
  And like you were saying,
• 24:14
  that's the only way you're
• 24:15
  gonna be able to get
• 24:15
  resolution is if
• 24:16
  everybody's on the same page.
• 24:19
  right wrong or indifferent
• 24:22
  yeah I left out be friendly
• 24:26
  too they're doing they're
• 24:27
  they've been interviewing
• 24:28
  people but I'm not sure
• 24:30
  they're getting to the root
• 24:31
  of this issue either um so
• 24:37
  that being said uh I knew
• 24:39
  so when you talk live you
• 24:41
  always omit things and when
• 24:42
  you're not thinking
• 24:45
  I just wanted to,
• 24:46
  because I thought about that,
• 24:47
  that it's impossible for
• 24:49
  them to remove Dave until there's a sale.
• 24:52
  And so we'll just end on that.
• 24:58
  I agree with that.
• 25:02
  The other thing I wanted to
• 25:03
  talk about is this idea
• 25:07
  of... Spin talked about it last night,
• 25:10
  about what is the role of
• 25:12
  media in CrossFit.
• 25:14
  Because I think that like
• 25:16
  the perception from the
• 25:18
  athletes and their camps
• 25:20
  are definitely one thing.
• 25:21
  And what we as media people
• 25:24
  are trying to do is another.
• 25:31
  And it goes back to this
• 25:32
  like definition of professional.
• 25:34
  Like, is this a professional sport or not?
• 25:37
  Because if you want it to be,
• 25:38
  and we're striving to get that,
• 25:41
  the conversations are going
• 25:42
  to be from the media,
• 25:44
  everything that goes on in the space.
• 25:48
  We're trying to, like,
• 25:50
  I now have a daily show.
• 25:51
  I've got to fill forty-five
• 25:53
  minutes a day with content.
• 25:55
  You've got to find the stuff
• 25:56
  that's out there.
• 25:57
  You've got to have the
• 25:57
  discussions that are out there.
• 26:00
  And
• 26:03
  Because it's growing and
• 26:04
  there's more options for this,
• 26:07
  as an athlete or an agent,
• 26:08
  you have less control over
• 26:09
  what's going on.
• 26:13
  Back when all you had was
• 26:13
  Talking Elite Fitness,
• 26:17
  it was a lot easier to control the story.
• 26:20
  Yeah.
• 26:23
  My athlete's not coming on
• 26:24
  your show unless you ask
• 26:25
  them these questions.
• 26:28
  Right.
• 26:29
  So you had Talking Elite
• 26:29
  Fitness and you had Armin.
• 26:32
  Yeah.
• 26:32
  The two,
• 26:33
  one from each side of the spectrum.
• 26:36
  And so you either got the
• 26:38
  inside edition Armin or you
• 26:40
  got the NBC nightly news
• 26:43
  talking to Lee Fitness.
• 26:48
  I love that.
• 26:49
  No, I love that.
• 26:50
  I love that.
• 26:51
  That is, that is accurate, accurate,
• 26:52
  accurate.
• 26:53
  Like Armin reporting
• 26:56
  whatever at that point,
• 26:58
  which Armin should find
• 26:59
  whatever he wanted to.
• 27:01
  Yes.
• 27:02
  Armin's show was fun because
• 27:03
  he would come on and just ask questions,
• 27:06
  say random wild stuff that
• 27:08
  may or may not be
• 27:09
  substantiated and then cut
• 27:10
  it off and we'll do it again soon.
• 27:14
  Yeah.
• 27:16
  I mean,
• 27:16
  I listened to Armin every time he
• 27:19
  was on because that's all we had.
• 27:21
  That's all we had that had a
• 27:24
  different take than
• 27:26
  straight down the fairway.
• 27:28
  his uh was it scale as
• 27:30
  needed podcast yeah was
• 27:34
  absolutely hilarious for
• 27:36
  being especially but that
• 27:37
  was back before anybody
• 27:38
  went live dude but they'd
• 27:39
  just as soon be live but
• 27:40
  they just put themselves on
• 27:41
  it it was a cool picture of
• 27:44
  adhd say it again it was a
• 27:47
  living moving picture of
• 27:48
  adhd yes yes it was so good
• 27:55
  So with all that,
• 27:56
  now that there's more
• 27:57
  options and people trying to fill space,
• 28:00
  you're going to report on
• 28:01
  everything you see because
• 28:02
  you're trying to fill your time slot,
• 28:05
  for lack of a better term, right?
• 28:06
  No, it's a twenty-four-hour news cycle.
• 28:10
  The same thing as when CNN went live,
• 28:12
  what was that, the late seventies?
• 28:13
  And they were there, but hey,
• 28:14
  we're going to go live
• 28:15
  twenty-four hours a day.
• 28:16
  How are you going to fill up
• 28:17
  news from twenty-four hours a day?
• 28:18
  We'll figure it out.
• 28:22
  Four hours of news.
• 28:24
  Two hours of that.
• 28:28
  If you want to be in the spotlight,
• 28:31
  it's there sometimes when
• 28:32
  you don't want it.
• 28:35
  I miss Armin.
• 28:37
  Here's the thing, dude.
• 28:39
  If you're going to be out
• 28:41
  there and look at, I know we've said this,
• 28:44
  we've beaten this horse.
• 28:45
  It is so dead,
• 28:46
  but look at any other professional sport.
• 28:51
  If you want to be an actor,
• 28:52
  look at the NBA.
• 28:54
  Look at baseball.
• 28:55
  Look at whoever.
• 28:56
  Whatever any one of them does,
• 28:59
  it ends up on the news.
• 29:01
  If you do something,
• 29:03
  if you insult a reporter, well...
• 29:07
  whoever insulted this
• 29:09
  reporter or whatever.
• 29:11
  And God forbid you get to be
• 29:12
  good because those are
• 29:13
  people that are just like
• 29:14
  average NBA players or
• 29:16
  average baseball players,
• 29:17
  average football players
• 29:19
  can do something kind of
• 29:20
  crazy and end up on
• 29:22
  SportsCenter or end up on
• 29:23
  the news if it gets bad enough.
• 29:25
  God forbid you are Tiger
• 29:27
  Woods or somebody at the
• 29:31
  pinnacle of their story.
• 29:35
  LeBron's hairline has moved forward.
• 29:38
  How did that happen?
• 29:39
  How did that happen?
• 29:40
  Did he go to Turkey?
• 29:40
  Did LeBron get a hair transplant?
• 29:42
  Yeah.
• 29:43
  That made news.
• 29:46
  That's what I'm getting at, dude.
• 29:50
  Oh, we wanted to be professional.
• 29:51
  Well,
• 29:52
  this is what comes with professional.
• 29:53
  Yeah.
• 29:56
  Have y'all never turned on
• 29:57
  SportsCenter in the morning for an hour?
• 29:59
  Just watch SportsCenter for an hour.
• 30:02
  You're going to get highlights.
• 30:04
  from yesterday's games,
• 30:05
  whatever was going on,
• 30:06
  and then you're going to
• 30:07
  get news and gossip,
• 30:09
  actual news and people
• 30:11
  talking about something
• 30:11
  that might happen.
• 30:14
  And God forbid somebody did
• 30:15
  something stupid,
• 30:15
  somebody got a speeding ticket,
• 30:17
  somebody got a DUI,
• 30:18
  somebody was drunk in public.
• 30:21
  It's going to end up on the news.
• 30:24
  And it's the same thing if
• 30:26
  you want to consider
• 30:26
  yourself to be a professional athlete,
• 30:29
  you are going to be put in
• 30:30
  the spotlight and under a
• 30:31
  microscope and everything
• 30:33
  you're going to do is going
• 30:34
  to be analyzed.
• 30:36
  Every time I hear drunken public,
• 30:38
  all I can think about is Ron White.
• 30:39
  Ron White, yep.
• 30:41
  I was drunk in a car until
• 30:45
  you threw me through the window.
• 30:47
  Now I'm drunk in public.
• 30:50
  They threw me into public.
• 30:58
  I wanted to be back drunk in a bar.
• 31:02
  My favorite part of that bit
• 31:03
  is when he said,
• 31:04
  I don't know how many of
• 31:05
  them it was going to take
• 31:07
  for them to whip my ass,
• 31:09
  but I knew how many they were using.
• 31:18
  Vicky,
• 31:18
  third-party media isn't here to be
• 31:20
  hype people for athletes.
• 31:22
  They're here to chat about
• 31:22
  what is happening.
• 31:24
  The Camps Media Team, etc.
• 31:25
  are their hype media people simple.
• 31:28
  There you go.
• 31:29
  True statement right there.
• 31:31
  True statement.
• 31:34
  Next questions related to
• 31:36
  what they're doing.
• 31:37
  Get an actual story.
• 31:39
  Move on.
• 31:40
  You're not here to be rah rah sis boomba.
• 31:45
  I haven't got your take on this.
• 31:49
  Your friend, Traint Olive,
• 31:52
  asked the question,
• 31:53
  since I left Siobhan to come here,
• 31:55
  how do you feel about
• 31:55
  Taylor's four-year ban,
• 31:56
  which according to him,
• 31:58
  he found out about from Spin,
• 32:00
  is rich next?
• 32:02
  That's a lot of questions, first of all,
• 32:04
  Traint Olive.
• 32:05
  I have several questions.
• 32:07
  First of all, thank you for coming here.
• 32:09
  Even though Siobhan was
• 32:10
  telling everybody that he
• 32:11
  was fixing to come here.
• 32:13
  Taylor knew what was happening.
• 32:15
  He's been talking about it
• 32:17
  since the open when he
• 32:18
  said... The one part that I do agree with,
• 32:21
  he asked them a question,
• 32:23
  they did not answer the question,
• 32:26
  and then slapped him with the ban.
• 32:28
  Yeah.
• 32:30
  And he did find out from Spin,
• 32:31
  not from an email from them.
• 32:33
  Which is...
• 32:35
  crazy town banana pants
• 32:38
  here's what I don't
• 32:39
  understand they did the
• 32:40
  same thing to hillary I
• 32:42
  could come on here right
• 32:43
  now and say oh I'm using
• 32:47
  whatever right make a
• 32:49
  public statement I'm not
• 32:51
  but they didn't actually
• 32:53
  test him they're banning
• 32:56
  him for four years which
• 32:57
  he's perfectly fine but
• 32:58
  he's done competing he said
• 32:59
  that a million times he
• 33:00
  said it again this morning
• 33:07
  But they didn't actually test him.
• 33:08
  They didn't actually test
• 33:09
  Hiller when they gave him
• 33:11
  his four-year ban.
• 33:12
  Now, he was openly saying, yep,
• 33:15
  I'm doing all these
• 33:16
  experiments on myself with PEDs, blah,
• 33:18
  blah, blah, whatever, and that's fine.
• 33:21
  But you could be lying out of your ass,
• 33:23
  and they're just going to
• 33:24
  ban you with no testing whatsoever?
• 33:27
  And out of competition?
• 33:29
  Because Hiller hadn't signed up.
• 33:30
  Well,
• 33:31
  he did sign up with Open under a
• 33:32
  different name, but
• 33:37
  The last time Taylor was
• 33:43
  competing was for the Open,
• 33:45
  or whenever he was at semifinals,
• 33:46
  was that two years ago,
• 33:47
  something like that?
• 33:47
  He hadn't been able to squat
• 33:48
  since then because his
• 33:49
  knees are jacked up.
• 33:52
  So that part I'm kind of,
• 33:56
  and as far as Rich is concerned,
• 33:58
  Rich is taking the exact
• 33:58
  same thing for the exact same reason,
• 34:00
  because his knees are all
• 34:01
  jacked up and he's trying
• 34:02
  to get some mobility back in it.
• 34:06
  So if, and I love me some Rich Fronin,
• 34:12
  but if it's good for Taylor South,
• 34:15
  it should be good for Rich
• 34:15
  Fronin as well.
• 34:16
  And he's not going to care because, again,
• 34:18
  he's not competing anymore.
• 34:20
  So, yeah,
• 34:21
  ban him if that's on the banned
• 34:22
  substances list.
• 34:25
  So Kaya says, according to their rules,
• 34:28
  they don't need to test if
• 34:29
  people are confessing themselves.
• 34:32
  But if the person that said
• 34:34
  it is asking for a
• 34:35
  conversation to be had about it,
• 34:39
  that doesn't cost anything
• 34:41
  because Lana is saying
• 34:42
  testing is expensive.
• 34:44
  All he was asking for was a
• 34:45
  back and forth conversation
• 34:47
  to discuss it before the
• 34:49
  final determination was made.
• 34:52
  And essentially CrossFit ghosted him
• 34:56
  And then gave him a ban
• 34:57
  because the appeal date came and went.
• 35:01
  And did not voice that to
• 35:03
  him after they made the final decision.
• 35:07
  And Spin found it on a post
• 35:10
  on the website and listed
• 35:14
  it out to the world.
• 35:16
  If I'm guessing...
• 35:18
  Knowing Taylor,
• 35:19
  he just wanted to have a
• 35:20
  conversation saying, hey, look,
• 35:22
  I know I'm on this athlete council,
• 35:25
  president of this athlete council.
• 35:28
  Just wanted to let y'all know, yes,
• 35:30
  I'm taking this stuff for my knee.
• 35:32
  I have no desire, urge, whatever.
• 35:35
  I'm not trying to beat a
• 35:36
  fist on earth anymore.
• 35:38
  I'm doing CrossFit for health, longevity,
• 35:41
  all this stuff, but I can't squat.
• 35:43
  And that is the basis of everything we do.
• 35:47
  is a squat and I can't squat
• 35:48
  because of my knee.
• 35:49
  So I'm trying to get my knee better.
• 35:52
  Knowing Taylor,
• 35:52
  that's the conversation he
• 35:53
  wanted to have.
• 35:55
  Like just to make sure
• 35:56
  everything was out there
• 35:57
  and transparent and, and, and,
• 35:58
  and they just, they just ghosted him,
• 36:02
  which is mind blowing to me.
• 36:05
  Yeah.
• 36:06
  I think that's the piece that,
• 36:08
  that I have a problem with.
• 36:10
  He was just asking for a conversation.
• 36:13
  doesn't cost them anything
• 36:15
  they they started the
• 36:18
  conversation he wanted to
• 36:19
  continue the conversation
• 36:21
  then they didn't respond
• 36:23
  that's the part I have a
• 36:24
  problem with I don't know
• 36:30
  but I don't I yeah that
• 36:34
  yeah I don't know we'll see
• 36:36
  what happens in the future
• 36:39
  I do think it's also fair
• 36:40
  that everybody's asking okay well
• 36:43
  Rich has said the same thing.
• 36:47
  And if it's good for Taylor's self,
• 36:48
  and Rich is beloved by the community,
• 36:52
  and absolutely, everybody loves Rich.
• 36:55
  I love Rich.
• 36:55
  He's fucking awesome.
• 36:56
  One time I met him in person.
• 36:57
  He was a great human being.
• 36:59
  And nothing has changed my
• 37:00
  mind about that.
• 37:01
  I've seen nothing to the contrary of that.
• 37:03
  So he's also taking it to
• 37:05
  try to fix his knee.
• 37:06
  So is he next up?
• 37:09
  Was his name on the same list?
• 37:10
  Because I feel like that's
• 37:10
  going to be a lot bigger
• 37:11
  news than Taylor's stuff.
• 37:12
  I think that's where the
• 37:13
  shadiness comes in on all this.
• 37:15
  It is that the reason that
• 37:18
  Taylor got found out is
• 37:19
  someone reported him for stating it.
• 37:22
  Right?
• 37:23
  That's how their drug
• 37:23
  testing works a lot of time
• 37:25
  is someone reports the
• 37:27
  thought that someone is not
• 37:32
  in compliance with...
• 37:34
  Kale Lehman situation, same thing, right?
• 37:36
  They didn't act until
• 37:37
  someone formally reported him.
• 37:40
  They didn't notice it on their own.
• 37:44
  So is someone going to have
• 37:45
  to willingly report Rich
• 37:49
  for making the same
• 37:50
  statement for them to start
• 37:51
  the investigation?
• 37:53
  Because he has said it, I think,
• 37:54
  even more openly than
• 37:56
  Taylor has from what I've
• 37:59
  heard in his podcasts.
• 38:02
  And yet Taylor is way ahead
• 38:05
  in this process than Rich is.
• 38:07
  Yeah.
• 38:12
  So I think that's the problem.
• 38:13
  Someone has said,
• 38:15
  went to CrossFit and said, hey,
• 38:17
  Taylor self-admitted it.
• 38:18
  He needs to be banned.
• 38:22
  And nobody has done that to Rich yet,
• 38:24
  or we have not seen that yet.
• 38:27
  Because now it's coming out that why isn't
• 38:31
  so in upon in on with that
• 38:35
  line of thinking as much as
• 38:37
  rich is beloved by
• 38:38
  everybody in the community
• 38:40
  he also has probably the
• 38:42
  same amount of haters so
• 38:45
  like it's coming right
• 38:48
  somebody's going to figure
• 38:49
  that out same amount of
• 38:51
  haters to his fans not
• 38:54
  guaranteed haters as taylor
• 38:59
  That's probably fair.
• 39:01
  That's probably fair.
• 39:04
  Taylor's a special case, dude.
• 39:06
  I know people, I've worked with people,
• 39:07
  I've been around people
• 39:08
  with the same kind of,
• 39:10
  I'm just going to mess with
• 39:11
  everybody in the room type
• 39:12
  attitude that Taylor does,
• 39:13
  and I know how to take it.
• 39:14
  I love Taylor for that
• 39:16
  because he talks to me, not to me,
• 39:18
  but he talks to people like
• 39:19
  I talk to my friends.
• 39:24
  Okay, fair.
• 39:24
  And
• 39:31
  Do we know for sure if
• 39:32
  Taylor has or has not been reported?
• 39:35
  I believe that Taylor stated
• 39:37
  that it was reported that
• 39:38
  he made this statement.
• 39:40
  And that's why he got the
• 39:43
  initial email saying he had
• 39:45
  so many days to appeal that.
• 39:52
  And I think that's what
• 39:53
  initiates out of season drug testing,
• 39:56
  unless you're on a certain list.
• 39:58
  If it comes out of the blue,
• 40:00
  then it is from a report.
• 40:10
  And I know that like in
• 40:11
  Dave's Week in Review,
• 40:12
  the whole Kale Layman situation,
• 40:15
  Dave said we can't act on
• 40:17
  that until someone reports it to us.
• 40:20
  then the next week he got
• 40:24
  the report and they started
• 40:25
  their investigation which
• 40:27
  ended up going nowhere but
• 40:28
  there we are I don't want
• 40:31
  to talk about that that
• 40:32
  part still blows my mind so
• 40:36
  you mean to tell me I could
• 40:38
  have finished fifth in the
• 40:38
  open and went did an
• 40:42
  in-person semi-final I got
• 40:45
  invited to an in-person
• 40:46
  semi-final at forty years
• 40:47
  old with no videos
• 40:50
  And nobody found anything.
• 40:53
  Apparently not.
• 41:01
  I do want to,
• 41:01
  I do want to bring up one
• 41:03
  positive thing before we get off the air.
• 41:05
  Yes, please.
• 41:07
  So, um, you know,
• 41:11
  our girl Carolyn Prevo is
• 41:13
  going to the games.
• 41:15
  Masters athlete going to
• 41:17
  both the Masters games and
• 41:20
  the elite games.
• 41:22
  Phenomenal.
• 41:24
  Yes.
• 41:25
  Super excited.
• 41:26
  Well, because of that,
• 41:26
  she's now an athlete.
• 41:28
  She received an email
• 41:29
  yesterday from the head of
• 41:31
  the safety council.
• 41:35
  It was awesome.
• 41:38
  So kudos to CrossFit.
• 41:43
  They were notified.
• 41:45
  that the run, row,
• 41:47
  run is the only outdoor
• 41:48
  event at this year's CrossFit Games.
• 41:52
  They were also given tips on
• 41:54
  heat acclimation for that run, row, run,
• 41:58
  where there will be the row,
• 42:02
  you are exposed, there's no shade.
• 42:04
  You need to adapt to that.
• 42:07
  Parts of the run will be shaded.
• 42:09
  And then...
• 42:12
  In addition to that,
• 42:13
  here's a list of
• 42:14
  medications that can affect
• 42:15
  heat intolerance.
• 42:22
  That's new.
• 42:24
  Like a very,
• 42:25
  very in-depth letter to the
• 42:28
  athletes preparing them
• 42:31
  three weeks before the
• 42:32
  games of the heat issues
• 42:34
  that could come from the run, row, run.
• 42:37
  How hot is it in Albany in August?
• 42:40
  According to the letter,
• 42:42
  the standard temperature is
• 42:44
  like eighty four degrees Fahrenheit,
• 42:47
  but can rise to
• 42:49
  temperatures as high as
• 42:50
  ninety five degrees.
• 42:57
  What's the humidity like?
• 42:59
  It's humid, man.
• 43:02
  Or humid.
• 43:03
  Well, we're not like by you humid to say,
• 43:06
  is it though?
• 43:10
  But yeah,
• 43:10
  the Midwest can get pretty humid
• 43:11
  in the summer.
• 43:13
  All right.
• 43:16
  Well, you know what?
• 43:17
  Good on them.
• 43:17
  Good on the safety council
• 43:19
  for getting ahead of it and just saying,
• 43:21
  hey, look,
• 43:21
  this is the only one y'all
• 43:21
  going to be outside for.
• 43:24
  Here's how hot it's probably going to be.
• 43:25
  You're going to be in the sun for this.
• 43:27
  You might want a hat, whatever,
• 43:29
  like keep much of the sun
• 43:30
  off of you and whatnot.
• 43:32
  We'll have water stations.
• 43:35
  Any thoughts on them?
• 43:37
  yep just a few just a few
• 43:41
  they actually say that um
• 43:44
  uh there will be water
• 43:45
  stations at each mile post
• 43:49
  good um and there will be
• 43:52
  cool towels available there
• 43:53
  will be like they list a
• 43:55
  bunch of things that will
• 43:56
  be available to them or
• 43:58
  what they might bring
• 43:59
  awesome exactly trained
• 44:02
  olive a little effort goes a long way
• 44:06
  Why couldn't this have been
• 44:07
  done from the beginning?
• 44:08
  But great job on it.
• 44:09
  Yeah.
• 44:10
  Again,
• 44:11
  not going back and looking at the past.
• 44:13
  Really cool letter that came
• 44:14
  from the Safety Council.
• 44:16
  Yeah.
• 44:20
  And he didn't leave names to
• 44:22
  contact if there's
• 44:23
  questions further about
• 44:26
  anything that would be
• 44:27
  going on in those events.
• 44:29
  So...
• 44:32
  They always say the NFL is the,
• 44:35
  what have you done for me lately, Lee,
• 44:37
  right?
• 44:37
  When it comes to players and whatnot.
• 44:40
  This is a what have you done
• 44:41
  for me lately situation right now.
• 44:44
  Hey, we're getting ahead of it.
• 44:46
  It's going to be hot.
• 44:47
  Here's a whole list of stuff.
• 44:50
  If you're on any medications,
• 44:51
  you might not want to be by
• 44:52
  the time you get out there.
• 44:54
  Here's an idea to be able to train for,
• 44:56
  get acclimated to hot
• 44:57
  weather if you're not from
• 44:58
  somewhere where it's hot, et cetera,
• 45:00
  et cetera.
• 45:01
  So good on them.
• 45:02
  Good on them.
• 45:03
  Positive change.
• 45:04
  I'm with you.
• 45:07
  Acknowledge what happened
• 45:09
  and we need to move on.
• 45:10
  You can't keep harping back
• 45:12
  on it because you can't
• 45:12
  change what happened.
• 45:14
  Well,
• 45:14
  and if you listen to Ariel's
• 45:16
  interview with Siobhan yesterday,
• 45:17
  her concern was, is it going to be safe?
• 45:19
  Are they going to share
• 45:20
  information with us?
• 45:22
  And then that came an hour
• 45:26
  after that interview ended.
• 45:30
  And they couldn't have put
• 45:30
  it out in an hour.
• 45:32
  It was too much information.
• 45:34
  Watching Ariel type at the same time.
• 45:38
  Oh, shit.
• 45:38
  Ariel saying this.
• 45:39
  We need to get this done now.
• 45:42
  You could tell it was done
• 45:43
  well before that.
• 45:46
  Good.
• 45:46
  But kudos to him because that is.
• 45:48
  Hey, more power to him.
• 45:50
  Yeah.
• 45:51
  More power to him.
• 45:53
  I did find it a bit humorous
• 45:55
  that Ariel trusts rich and Katie.
• 45:58
  So she trusts the safety
• 46:00
  council a little bit more.
• 46:03
  The,
• 46:03
  the legit qualifications of the people
• 46:09
  on that safety board are insane.
• 46:12
  Yeah.
• 46:13
  Like just because those two,
• 46:16
  we know what they put
• 46:18
  together was pretty freaking cool.
• 46:22
  And it's a simple thing to do.
• 46:25
  Yeah.
• 46:27
  It is a very, very simple thing to do.
• 46:29
  Hey, here's a, here's a, look,
• 46:31
  it's going to be hot.
• 46:33
  Here's a good way to,
• 46:34
  what's a good way to train for heat.
• 46:35
  Let's talk to these three people.
• 46:36
  All right.
• 46:37
  Write down some stuff, put it together,
• 46:39
  format an email, send it, look, send.
• 46:44
  To put in average temperature,
• 46:45
  put in upper limits of temperature,
• 46:47
  to put in where there's shade,
• 46:49
  where there's not shade,
• 46:50
  where there'll be water,
• 46:51
  where there won't be water.
• 46:53
  Like all of that is in there now.
• 46:55
  Covering the bases.
• 46:57
  And none of it takes away from that test.
• 47:03
  None of that has to take
• 47:04
  away from that test.
• 47:05
  Like knowing where the water
• 47:08
  stations are doesn't take
• 47:09
  away from that test.
• 47:12
  You know what I mean?
• 47:13
  Everybody who's screaming
• 47:15
  about unknown and unknowable,
• 47:19
  none of this stuff known
• 47:21
  changes that test.
• 47:29
  It said somebody had to die
• 47:30
  for them to finally do it.
• 47:34
  Okay.
• 47:35
  But a lot of change happens
• 47:38
  because of tragedy.
• 47:42
  In real life, not just sport.
• 47:46
  Real life,
• 47:47
  it usually is a combination of
• 47:49
  nothing changes if nothing changes.
• 47:52
  It is a very much if it ain't broke,
• 47:54
  don't fix it type deal.
• 47:58
  Nothing happened at the games for.
• 48:02
  Seventeen years before something did.
• 48:04
  Yeah.
• 48:07
  but like rich fell from the
• 48:09
  rope and now there's a big
• 48:11
  pad at the bottom of the ropes, right?
• 48:14
  Like it doesn't always have
• 48:16
  to be a death that changes it.
• 48:19
  We're inventing the airplane.
• 48:21
  How many people got hurt or
• 48:22
  died before they figured
• 48:23
  out the right way to make the wings?
• 48:27
  You know what I mean?
• 48:29
  Pat and Matt both fell off the cargo net.
• 48:31
  We have not had an obstacle
• 48:33
  course race since then.
• 48:36
  Such a shame.
• 48:38
  That was so much fun to watch.
• 48:44
  Sounds like the moms on our
• 48:45
  son's all-star team
• 48:47
  freaking out about kids
• 48:48
  playing baseball in the heat.
• 48:49
  Just be smart.
• 48:50
  It's not rocket science.
• 48:52
  It's really not.
• 48:55
  It's really, really not.
• 48:56
  Just being,
• 48:57
  knowing that you're going to be
• 48:58
  outside in the summertime.
• 49:01
  Well, it's probably going to be hot.
• 49:03
  Water stations and shade
• 49:05
  don't need to be unknowable.
• 49:09
  Yeah.
• 49:10
  I mean, we could say that.
• 49:11
  We could say, like,
• 49:13
  all this stuff is common sense,
• 49:16
  but I'm glad they didn't
• 49:17
  leave it up to common sense.
• 49:19
  Put it in writing.
• 49:20
  Say what they're going to be faced with.
• 49:23
  It's a warning sign, Scott.
• 49:25
  It's just like the thing on
• 49:27
  the hairdryers is do not use in the tub.
• 49:29
  Right.
• 49:31
  This Superman Halloween
• 49:32
  costume will not give you
• 49:34
  the ability to fly.
• 49:36
  Sorry.
• 49:40
  Speaking of, Superman came out today.
• 49:44
  Unofficially.
• 49:47
  It really doesn't come out
• 49:47
  until the eleventh.
• 49:49
  But you can get special
• 49:51
  tickets off of Amazon today.
• 49:53
  It's available at the
• 49:54
  theater by my house right now.
• 49:58
  Like, if I wanted to go,
• 49:59
  I'd have to leave.
• 50:00
  I've heard it actually has
• 50:01
  gotten great reviews.
• 50:02
  Yes.
• 50:04
  Yes.
• 50:05
  I'm a huge Superman geek.
• 50:10
  like all the way through and
• 50:11
  through been that way since
• 50:13
  Jesus was a baby.
• 50:14
  Superman used to be my favorite hero.
• 50:16
  And then I got bored with him.
• 50:20
  Which is the ultimate boy scout, dude.
• 50:21
  Like he can't, doesn't lose.
• 50:23
  Well, yeah, he's like, he's bulletproof.
• 50:28
  He can fly.
• 50:28
  He's fast.
• 50:30
  Like he's got all the shit.
• 50:33
  Like I,
• 50:35
  I started leaning more towards
• 50:36
  Batman and,
• 50:38
  because it's just a dude
• 50:40
  who's smart and has some
• 50:42
  really cool toys.
• 50:45
  And some serious mental health issues.
• 50:51
  I just like Superman because
• 50:53
  you have to scale up to be
• 50:54
  able to give him some sort
• 50:55
  of challenge or whatnot.
• 50:56
  But from what I've seen of a
• 50:58
  lot of videos about how
• 51:02
  this one's going to be done
• 51:04
  and it's a lot more him
• 51:06
  like the human side of him,
• 51:08
  like him being a dude like that.
• 51:11
  I heard the love stories
• 51:12
  like excellent and the
• 51:15
  chemistry between him and
• 51:16
  Lois Lane is off the charts.
• 51:18
  I can't wait.
• 51:19
  I'm super, super pumped.
• 51:21
  super fun I watched oh so
• 51:23
  when I was a kid like from
• 51:25
  one all the way through the
• 51:26
  quest for peace which was
• 51:27
  garbage but I watched it
• 51:28
  anyway um and then the
• 51:32
  brandon ralph emo superman
• 51:33
  smallville like comics the
• 51:36
  whole nine yards chances
• 51:37
  better not if you got a
• 51:39
  question I could probably
• 51:40
  answer yeah the brandon
• 51:40
  ralph one went very
• 51:41
  underrated that was
• 51:42
  actually a pretty good
• 51:43
  movie it was all right dude I was
• 51:47
  It was good up until I was like, oh,
• 51:49
  he's just going to win by
• 51:50
  picking up this big rock
• 51:51
  and throwing it out into space.
• 51:53
  Got it.
• 51:53
  Ten-four.
• 51:58
  Lito.
• 51:59
  Lito missed Mr. Two Favorite Men.
• 52:05
  Anyway.
• 52:08
  Yeah,
• 52:08
  and then the Richard Pryor one was
• 52:11
  just... That would be Superman III.
• 52:14
  God-awful.
• 52:16
  We had drunk Superman,
• 52:18
  all the red kryptonite.
• 52:19
  It was an interesting choice.
• 52:24
  Well, I want to finish up with this.
• 52:25
  I have other stuff on my notebook,
• 52:27
  but I'll do that tomorrow.
• 52:28
  Like the WFP qualifiers were done.
• 52:32
  Very interesting because the women's field,
• 52:35
  very deep for the qualifiers this time.
• 52:38
  Men's, meh.
• 52:39
  Yeah.
• 52:39
  Yeah.
• 52:42
  But the last thing I want to end with is,
• 52:44
  like,
• 52:45
  I was listening to a podcast with
• 52:46
  Ben Roethlisberger talking about, like,
• 52:50
  his kids are fans of the
• 52:52
  Steelers now and that every
• 52:54
  year for Christmas they get
• 52:55
  jerseys and that he doesn't
• 53:02
  allow his kids to buy any
• 53:04
  jerseys from any other AFC North team.
• 53:08
  Like, no Jamar Chase, no Joe Burrow.
• 53:11
  right right but they always
• 53:14
  get sealer jerseys every
• 53:15
  year and he was like last
• 53:18
  year for christmas they got
• 53:20
  four jerseys rough steelers
• 53:22
  and each kid got two three
• 53:25
  of the four are gone from
• 53:26
  the team from christmas to
• 53:30
  now damn gone from the team
• 53:34
  And I'm like, it's tough.
• 53:36
  Like when I was a kid,
• 53:38
  like you could have one
• 53:38
  player and that player be
• 53:40
  with the team like for five, six, seven,
• 53:43
  eight years.
• 53:45
  And now like you can get
• 53:48
  cheap jerseys at Ross Dress
• 53:49
  for Less because they've
• 53:51
  been traded three times
• 53:52
  since they made the jersey.
• 53:53
  Unless it's a franchise
• 53:55
  quarterback or like, you know,
• 53:59
  the captain of the defense.
• 54:01
  maybe if you got like a wide receiver,
• 54:04
  it was like a franchise wide receiver.
• 54:05
  Other than that, dude,
• 54:06
  everybody else is fair game.
• 54:07
  Yeah.
• 54:10
  Uh, Vicky,
• 54:11
  the new quarterback doc is
• 54:12
  available on Netflix.
• 54:13
  I know dying to start it,
• 54:15
  but I needed this sinus.
• 54:17
  My eye was seeping so bad yesterday.
• 54:19
  I just like late in bed.
• 54:21
  It's miserable.
• 54:23
  Um, you know,
• 54:25
  have you talked about the new
• 54:26
  apparel sponsor for masters this year?
• 54:29
  I did.
• 54:29
  Was it official?
• 54:30
  Uh,
• 54:30
  Yeah, they just put something out earlier.
• 54:34
  I just saw it.
• 54:37
  It's on Legends page.
• 54:41
  I literally saw it right
• 54:42
  before I leaned in.
• 54:44
  I had heard rumor,
• 54:46
  but now I don't think it is
• 54:48
  because of the way you're talking.
• 54:52
  Jim Reapers.
• 54:54
  Oh.
• 55:01
  Sharing my screen now.
• 55:08
  Official apparel belt sleeve.
• 55:11
  Jim Reapers.
• 55:15
  They just getting started.
• 55:19
  Are you excited about that?
• 55:23
  I'm not going to the games,
• 55:24
  so I really couldn't care less,
• 55:25
  to be honest with you.
• 55:28
  I hope they do
• 55:31
  I hope they do for the
• 55:33
  masters athletes better
• 55:35
  than they did last year.
• 55:36
  I put it to you like that.
• 55:37
  I do wish that for him.
• 55:39
  I got a buddy of mine that I
• 55:40
  just realized was going
• 55:41
  that I competed with at legends last year,
• 55:44
  Greg Hauser.
• 55:46
  So like,
• 55:46
  I hope they give them enough stuff
• 55:48
  to last the entire weekend
• 55:49
  without having to do laundry three times.
• 55:51
  That would be pretty cool
• 55:52
  for Jamie and for Carolyn as well.
• 55:56
  I mean,
• 55:56
  I'm in the back of seeing like the
• 55:57
  names falling off of the,
• 56:00
  were they really you had to
• 56:01
  wash them so much to get to
• 56:04
  really yeah I didn't know
• 56:06
  that oh dude that's
• 56:08
  terrible booty shorts a lot
• 56:13
  of low-cut bras I don't I
• 56:14
  fail to see the problem you
• 56:16
  know yeah I'll tell you
• 56:18
  what carolyn will have a
• 56:19
  conniption yes you will
• 56:21
  And she has a legit... She's
• 56:23
  a school teacher.
• 56:24
  She doesn't want stuff out
• 56:26
  on the internet.
• 56:27
  Affirm booty shorts and
• 56:29
  low-cut sports bras.
• 56:30
  She teaches kids every day
• 56:33
  in her real life.
• 56:37
  And then Jamie wants all the
• 56:39
  booty shorts and all the
• 56:40
  low-cut sports bras.
• 56:43
  So the two co-hosts on
• 56:45
  Sunday night completely...
• 56:47
  When it comes to that concept,
• 56:48
  they couldn't be more different.
• 56:49
  I'm with...
• 56:52
  Whoever it ends up being,
• 56:53
  whenever I ended up making it,
• 56:57
  I want decent shorts that
• 56:59
  don't go down past my knees,
• 57:02
  which is not easy to do
• 57:03
  because I'm not real tall.
• 57:06
  And I really don't care what
• 57:08
  the shirts look like
• 57:09
  because I'm only going to
• 57:10
  be wearing it to walk out
• 57:11
  onto the floor and then it's coming off.
• 57:13
  So that doesn't really matter.
• 57:15
  But I do want it to look nice.
• 57:16
  That would be good.
• 57:19
  Yeah.
• 57:21
  It's part of the trophy.
• 57:24
  Yeah.
• 57:25
  That's part of the reward
• 57:26
  for making it like,
• 57:28
  and you want it to last.
• 57:28
  You don't want letters
• 57:29
  falling off by the third day.
• 57:31
  Cause you had to wash it every night.
• 57:34
  At least that I know down
• 57:36
  here that made the games
• 57:38
  like are still wearing
• 57:39
  their stuff years later.
• 57:44
  alito I'm with carolyn on
• 57:45
  that one I don't wear booty
• 57:47
  shorts so that leaves me
• 57:48
  with a pair of leggings for
• 57:49
  the entire weekend I hope
• 57:51
  they give y'all options
• 57:53
  like hey I don't wear booty
• 57:55
  shorts instead of getting
• 57:56
  forcing these shorts on me
• 57:58
  can you just give me three
• 57:59
  pairs of leggings instead
• 58:00
  or whatever you know
• 58:02
  whatever the case may be
• 58:04
  like I don't need shorts I
• 58:05
  don't want shorts
• 58:07
  Or some of the newer shorts
• 58:09
  like you see Fee and
• 58:11
  Caroline Stanton wearing
• 58:13
  that are like the tennis skirts,
• 58:17
  like some options like that.
• 58:19
  There's some cooler,
• 58:20
  hipper stuff that aren't booty shorts.
• 58:23
  That's not – yeah,
• 58:24
  that's not just your booty
• 58:25
  cheeks hanging out at the bottom of it.
• 58:27
  Especially for Masters athletes, dude,
• 58:28
  like –
• 58:29
  The younger women probably care less,
• 58:33
  I would say,
• 58:33
  than the master's age athletes.
• 58:36
  But like Carolyn, like you said,
• 58:38
  she is a professional.
• 58:39
  She is a school teacher.
• 58:40
  She does not want her stuff
• 58:41
  hanging out all over the place.
• 58:44
  And especially when you get
• 58:45
  up into the older age group,
• 58:47
  those ladies certainly
• 58:48
  don't want their stuff
• 58:49
  hanging out all over the
• 58:50
  place because they got
• 58:51
  grandkids watching and
• 58:53
  whatever else the case may be.
• 58:56
  Just options.
• 58:57
  That's all we're asking for.
• 59:01
  we have gone long it happens
• 59:03
  and I am back to work today
• 59:05
  so I need to uh get back up
• 59:08
  there and sign back in um
• 59:11
  with that guys it's been
• 59:12
  fun trying to talk about
• 59:16
  everything going on on a
• 59:17
  slow week has turned not to
• 59:18
  be slow and I did you know
• 59:21
  there are some things
• 59:23
  floating out there that a
• 59:24
  sale is imminent possibly
• 59:26
  this week so I'll leave it
• 59:28
  when it happens
• 59:30

• 59:31
  year now true so with that
