- 1:17subscribe to the channel.
- 1:18If you're listening to us on
- 1:20any of those audio platforms,
- 1:22make sure that you leave us
- 1:23a five-star review and say
- 1:26something nice.
- 1:27Yeah.
- 1:27Yeah, that would be nice.
- 1:30With that.
- 1:34No plans.
- 1:34You have a plan.
- 1:35Well, here's behind the curtain.
- 1:39I put a rundown together
- 1:41every Sunday night.
- 1:42That's true.
- 1:43And it's open.
- 1:44Everybody has access to it.
- 1:45They can add, subtract, multiply,
- 1:48and divide to it.
- 1:50Some weeks we follow it.
- 1:52Some weeks we ignore it,
- 1:55but we always go in with a plan.
- 1:57Yeah.
- 1:58There's some bullet points.
- 1:59Yeah.
- 2:01But if like, if a subject takes over,
- 2:05we let it take over.
- 2:06Right.
- 2:08That's how it kind of works.
- 2:10But we do have like a format.
- 2:11So we all kind of know are
- 2:13on the same page coming into the episode.
- 2:16And then hopefully Mike
- 2:19Tyson doesn't punch us in
- 2:20the mouth and then we lose it all.
- 2:24Little, little Pittsburgh ease there.
- 2:28So, so yeah,
- 2:31daylight savings happened
- 2:33overnight last night.
- 2:34Yep.
- 2:35I was so prepared for it.
- 2:37Like CrossFit did a good job
- 2:39with their like alerts, like, Hey,
- 2:42reminder, it's daily savings weekend.
- 2:45Get your, you know,
- 2:46we won't extend the submission window.
- 2:48And I was like, all right.
- 2:50And we do open gym on Sunday.
- 2:51So like, I'm like, all right, so you,
- 2:53you gotta be there.
- 2:54And then I go to bed last night.
- 2:56We went to bed really late last night.
- 2:59Um, we'll talk about that from TV stuff.
- 3:02Uh,
- 3:03And it was already switched over.
- 3:04And I was like, Oh shoot.
- 3:06I totally forgot,
- 3:09but I didn't even go to bed
- 3:10till like three AM.
- 3:11So I think it's cool.
- 3:13This CrossFit is putting out
- 3:14alerts because lost in the
- 3:17hustle and bustle of the
- 3:19Anika Greer didn't get her submission.
- 3:22And in time a couple of years ago,
- 3:24there were athletes in
- 3:26Europe who did not switch times.
- 3:30But we did, and so they weren't aware.
- 3:33And one of those was Mano Anganese.
- 3:37Really?
- 3:37Yeah,
- 3:37I guess I do remember that she was
- 3:39one of them.
- 3:39Yeah.
- 3:40And she's killing it this year.
- 3:42So I hope her and Justin
- 3:45Cutler are well aware that
- 3:47the times have switched and
- 3:52they need to get their stuff in in time.
- 3:55Yeah.
- 3:56I'm sure Justin's on top of it.
- 3:58Yeah,
- 3:59because Anika was with Justin when
- 4:02she didn't get hers in the last time.
- 4:05Yeah,
- 4:05I think he's probably learned to
- 4:07check in with his athletes and, yeah,
- 4:10make a point of those.
- 4:12So I, for some reason,
- 4:14no matter how much I, like,
- 4:16think it doesn't matter,
- 4:18I get affected by this
- 4:19thing every single year.
- 4:22And for me, what it is is, like,
- 4:24I went to bed later last night,
- 4:26hoping to kind of like blow through it.
- 4:29And then I woke up this morning and like,
- 4:32you know what,
- 4:32I need to get the rundown done.
- 4:33I need to get the thumbnail done.
- 4:36And so all of that guilt,
- 4:38like made me wake up early.
- 4:41and get to work on all that
- 4:42stuff this morning.
- 4:45And then my mom kind of
- 4:47surprised us by showing up
- 4:48in town this weekend.
- 4:50She's splitting time with my
- 4:51nephew and me.
- 4:54And so we've had that going on.
- 4:56And yeah.
- 4:57And now I'm like, gosh,
- 4:59tomorrow is going to be
- 5:00brutal going to work tomorrow morning.
- 5:04Your mom's doing well.
- 5:06I take it.
- 5:07She came to visit.
- 5:08She's so she still has a fib
- 5:11and she has not seen a cardiologist.
- 5:13So she's still like kind of
- 5:14lethargic for her.
- 5:17Cause she's a really go get
- 5:18her and to see her like not
- 5:19be able to get after it.
- 5:22And what I mean, get at like,
- 5:23she just goes whenever she wants to go,
- 5:25does whatever she wants to do.
- 5:27And that has kind of slowed
- 5:28where she is making more
- 5:29like conscientious efforts
- 5:31as to what can she
- 5:33accomplish and what can't she.
- 5:35And, but my nephew's dog is,
- 5:39who was bought right after my dad passed.
- 5:41And my dad raised my nephew too.
- 5:44Okay.
- 5:45And is sick.
- 5:48And so my nephew is taking
- 5:50it very hard and she
- 5:52decided to come and be with
- 5:55him in case something
- 5:58happens with the dog.
- 6:02But the good news is we
- 6:03found out this weekend, too.
- 6:04And this is on the down low.
- 6:05It's not a lot of people know.
- 6:06My nephew found out.
- 6:08Told us him and his wife are pregnant.
- 6:10Oh, congratulations.
- 6:13So, with the bad news,
- 6:15we got some good news.
- 6:16Yeah.
- 6:17And we went over there last night.
- 6:19Hung out with them for a little bit.
- 6:20She is extremely sick.
- 6:22She is not... She's like Julie.
- 6:25Julie was sick for the entire pregnancy.
- 6:27So...
- 6:30That's rough.
- 6:31So far, same here.
- 6:34Sherry sauce says,
- 6:35which three am new to the
- 6:37three am old three am.
- 6:38So new three would have been two, but like,
- 6:41like I thought it was two
- 6:42and I went and like laid
- 6:43down and it said three and I was like, Oh,
- 6:46that's how I realized.
- 6:47And I was like,
- 6:48but then I didn't get up to like ten.
- 6:51So I got like seven hours of sleep.
- 6:53Decent.
- 6:53Yeah, we, we got, we got you, Carolyn.
- 6:57We already let them know.
- 7:01You're rolling late tonight.
- 7:05That's a dirty burpee penalty.
- 7:07Dirty burpee penalty.
- 7:10So, we like to do TV talk, you and me.
- 7:14Yeah.
- 7:15Is that why you were up late last night?
- 7:17Yes.
- 7:18What show now?
- 7:19I started the pit and got
- 7:21all twelve hours in.
- 7:24Well, now I'm at
- 7:26You all they're all twelve or whatever.
- 7:29How many are there?
- 7:29Ten, eleven, twelve.
- 7:31There is twelve total,
- 7:32but I only ten are out, I think.
- 7:34OK,
- 7:34so then we watched ten hours straight
- 7:36and I think eleven came out today.
- 7:38OK, well.
- 7:40Yep, caught all the way up.
- 7:43What do you think?
- 7:45It's I told Aaron like a
- 7:47couple hours into it, I was like,
- 7:48I don't know about this show,
- 7:50like this is like too depressing to watch,
- 7:52like.
- 7:54It kind of reminds me of how
- 7:57I felt watching This Is Us.
- 7:58Like, I would cry every time,
- 8:01every episode.
- 8:01And I'm like, I'm... Like, the dad...
- 8:07Like, I like,
- 8:08I'm my dad's getting way up there.
- 8:11And so it just scares me.
- 8:12Like,
- 8:14and I was so sad for that brother and
- 8:16sister.
- 8:16And I like that one,
- 8:17that one went on for several hours and I,
- 8:19that was hard for me to watch.
- 8:20I was like this.
- 8:21And then the kid, the kid,
- 8:23the kid wiped me out.
- 8:25I'm like, this is a lot.
- 8:28And then to find out that she,
- 8:31she was the hero.
- 8:35Oh, I know.
- 8:35And not the victim like ish.
- 8:38Yeah.
- 8:41And yeah, but the,
- 8:45what I love about it is the
- 8:48style is incredible.
- 8:49The fact that it is real
- 8:50time and you're just
- 8:51bouncing from doctor to
- 8:53doctor in this ER and,
- 8:58and it's so believable.
- 9:00Like it is, the actors are so good and,
- 9:04My niece, who is a nursing student,
- 9:08did a,
- 9:09did a like a shadowing and the nurse
- 9:12she shadowed is on the pit.
- 9:14They hired real nurses to, uh,
- 9:18fill in like the background scenes, um,
- 9:22to make it more authentic.
- 9:23Um, but you know,
- 9:26I grew up just north of Pittsburgh.
- 9:28She's going to school there.
- 9:29So yeah,
- 9:31it's cool that she kind of like
- 9:32ran into something like that.
- 9:34That's very cool.
- 9:37It's like,
- 9:37you're just like how many more
- 9:40cases can keep coming in?
- 9:41Like it's insane.
- 9:44But I guess that's what a busy,
- 9:47like urban area ER is probably like,
- 9:51I don't, it's like,
- 9:52it's just not like that around here.
- 9:53Like, or it's not that busy.
- 9:55Right.
- 9:55So like, I can't even fathom.
- 9:58So everything that's on that
- 10:00show has been described to
- 10:02me about our downtown
- 10:03hospitals here in Columbus.
- 10:05Yeah.
- 10:11Sneeze.
- 10:11Sorry.
- 10:15So, yeah, I just find it fascinating.
- 10:18And I love Noah Wiley.
- 10:19He's so good at playing that doctor.
- 10:22I'm glad you're watching it.
- 10:25Yeah.
- 10:27So the last episode I watched,
- 10:29and I don't know the number,
- 10:31is where the nurse gets attacked.
- 10:34Okay, yeah.
- 10:35So it's that, essentially.
- 10:37And then she basically tells on Langdon.
- 10:41the other nurse.
- 10:46I don't know what you're talking about.
- 10:47I think that's all in the same episode.
- 10:49Okay.
- 10:53I don't know.
- 10:53Okay.
- 10:53I'll have to think about it for a second.
- 10:56Okay.
- 10:57I'm glad they do recaps on the show.
- 10:59Yeah.
- 10:59Because a lot happens in an hour.
- 11:01So this is one where I feel
- 11:03like waiting a week.
- 11:05I mean, I would definitely need the recap,
- 11:06but I think waiting a week
- 11:07would be hard on this one.
- 11:09There's a lot going on, right?
- 11:11Tons of cases.
- 11:12You're like, which patient?
- 11:13I mean, going right into the next hour,
- 11:17I was like, wait, wait, wait,
- 11:18which one is this one?
- 11:20But yeah.
- 11:22Yeah.
- 11:25So people were talking about This Is Us.
- 11:27I had to bag out a This Is Us.
- 11:30What?
- 11:32Yeah.
- 11:33I watched the first couple
- 11:34seasons and then it was too much.
- 11:38Too much of the sap.
- 11:41Yeah,
- 11:42it was... And it didn't become
- 11:44believable anymore.
- 11:49I feel like they kind of
- 11:50rushed season five or whatever it was.
- 11:52It got a little...
- 11:55A little weird.
- 11:55But I don't know.
- 11:58It was an incredible show.
- 11:59The first several seasons were amazing.
- 12:04And then someone's talking about Paradise.
- 12:08Corey just finished the finale today.
- 12:11Oh my goodness.
- 12:12It's good.
- 12:13I don't think I've even
- 12:14heard of that show.
- 12:16It's Sterling K. Brown from This Is Us.
- 12:20And it's something...
- 12:22Something about the
- 12:24government and the secrets.
- 12:27Okay.
- 12:29That's kind of what I got
- 12:29from the preview.
- 12:30Okay.
- 12:31But I've heard it's very, very bizarre.
- 12:37All right.
- 12:37And they've seen it.
- 12:38I have not.
- 12:40But I did catch up on Reacher yesterday,
- 12:45which is the show we love.
- 12:47Right.
- 12:48And...
- 12:51just when you think,
- 12:53so the episode before this
- 12:54is where they kind of catch
- 12:55you up on the history as to
- 12:56why you are where you are today.
- 12:58Right.
- 12:59And then this episode,
- 13:01like all the action happens
- 13:05and you find out secrets,
- 13:07you find out things that
- 13:08are going on that you
- 13:09didn't know were going on and,
- 13:11and all this other stuff.
- 13:13It is.
- 13:16It is awesome.
- 13:16But the one point I want to
- 13:18make about Reacher is
- 13:20Michael Anthony Hall
- 13:22playing this bad guy is
- 13:24doing an amazing job.
- 13:28In my opinion.
- 13:31Are you agree, disagree?
- 13:33I don't.
- 13:35He's not in it.
- 13:36Does he only come in?
- 13:38He's back.
- 13:40Yeah,
- 13:40but he's not where I'm at because I
- 13:42haven't watched this episode.
- 13:44He's been in it since the beginning.
- 13:45He's the kid's father.
- 13:47Oh, the dad.
- 13:49Yeah.
- 13:49You feel like he's the bad guy?
- 13:53Well, he's one of the bad guy.
- 13:55Yeah, I feel like he's a puppet.
- 13:57Well, true,
- 13:59but I think he's doing a great job acting,
- 14:03is what I want to say.
- 14:04He is no longer the kid from
- 14:07The Breakfast Club.
- 14:08Yeah.
- 14:10It's like...
- 14:14The guy who played Zach Morris,
- 14:16who is now playing this
- 14:18serial hostage taker,
- 14:21kidnapper on Found on NBC.
- 14:25Yeah.
- 14:27The new chops are crazy.
- 14:31Yeah, he's good.
- 14:31I like him.
- 14:35Anthony Michael Hall is in Reacher.
- 14:38He plays Beck, who I guess is,
- 14:41Jeff would put it, the antagonist.
- 14:44Yeah.
- 14:45Because the real bad guy you
- 14:46don't really see.
- 14:47Right.
- 14:49Yeah.
- 14:50And then the other guy who
- 14:52played Zach Morris, which is, gosh,
- 14:57I should know this.
- 14:58I can't think of his name.
- 14:59Mark Paul Gosler.
- 15:00Yes.
- 15:01Mark Paul Gosler is in Found,
- 15:03who plays a very evil
- 15:05person on there and does an amazing job.
- 15:10That would be so hard to
- 15:12picture him as a bad guy.
- 15:16You've not seen Found?
- 15:17Mm-mm.
- 15:19Such a good show.
- 15:20well I'd maybe seen the
- 15:21first episode but I such
- 15:25it's it's probably in my
- 15:26top ten shows in the last
- 15:29year or two yeah but yeah
- 15:35it's been it's been catch
- 15:38up on tv and you know I'm
- 15:39gonna run out of time for
- 15:40that because the weather is
- 15:41actually breaking I know it
- 15:43was so nice here today how was it for you
- 15:46I was mid fifties, upper fifties.
- 15:49Yeah.
- 15:50Like the sun was out.
- 15:51It was, I wanted to go outside.
- 15:52We're running for class tomorrow.
- 15:54I was like, it's going to be.
- 15:56So I went,
- 15:57I went and did twenty five to
- 15:58this afternoon and then I
- 16:01knew I had to keep moving.
- 16:03I just because of the version I had to,
- 16:06I did, I had to keep moving.
- 16:07So I went in the garage and
- 16:08I started cleaning my
- 16:09garage out for spring.
- 16:12And it was just great being outside,
- 16:15fresh air.
- 16:19And we never turned our TV
- 16:21on until I came down here
- 16:22and Julie turned it on to
- 16:24watch something.
- 16:24That's good.
- 16:28So that was... And my garage
- 16:32really needs a good clean out.
- 16:34So...
- 16:37we did almost all of our
- 16:38Christmas shopping on
- 16:38Amazon because of Julie's
- 16:39knee and all the boxes just
- 16:42kind of piled up.
- 16:43So it's been like cutting all those down,
- 16:45uh, putting them in recycling,
- 16:47trying to get that out for
- 16:48Wednesday so we can fill it up again.
- 16:51Yup.
- 16:51Um,
- 16:51cause it's supposed to be seventies by
- 16:54the end of the week.
- 16:55Crazy.
- 16:58What the heck are we going
- 16:59to do in the North?
- 17:00I don't know,
- 17:01but then it's going to drop again.
- 17:04Uh, I didn't see too bad though.
- 17:05Uh,
- 17:06Like upper forties was.
- 17:08Yeah.
- 17:08That's about what I saw.
- 17:09I can take that.
- 17:11If you get back down to thirty two again,
- 17:12I'm going to be pissed.
- 17:14Yeah.
- 17:15Friday.
- 17:15Seventy two.
- 17:16It's going to be like a heat
- 17:17wave for the open.
- 17:18Oh, my gosh.
- 17:20Fake spring.
- 17:21Yeah.
- 17:24So.
- 17:26I did want to.
- 17:28Well, we'll catch this other stuff.
- 17:30In a minute.
- 17:31Yeah.
- 17:34I wanted to talk about behind the scenes,
- 17:37Siobhan's behind the scenes episode two.
- 17:40And I know that you don't get it.
- 17:41We're going to, Jay Birch,
- 17:43we're going to talk about
- 17:45twenty five point two when
- 17:47Carolyn hops on in just a
- 17:48couple of minutes.
- 17:53The first thing I have to
- 17:54say about it is that this year's version,
- 17:57as tough as it was to put that out,
- 18:01it was really good.
- 18:04There again, parts tough to watch.
- 18:06You probably get some of the
- 18:07final words ever of Lazar Jukic.
- 18:11But his personality comes out,
- 18:13and that's what I loved
- 18:14about it because it was
- 18:15like a good representation of who he was.
- 18:19They did a beautiful tribute
- 18:24to him at the end with
- 18:25Patrick Rios where they
- 18:28clipped some of the stuff
- 18:29they got from past behind the scenes.
- 18:32Right.
- 18:33And put some workout footage in there.
- 18:35Some slow-mo.
- 18:37Is that where it was like,
- 18:38thank you for the fire.
- 18:39Thank you for your smile.
- 18:41And they showed it
- 18:42independently on Siobhan's
- 18:44show the other day.
- 18:45Yeah.
- 18:45So you had said that you
- 18:47really enjoyed that.
- 18:48And then I went and we were
- 18:49watching whatever.
- 18:51I think it was right before Taylor went.
- 18:53Well, Bryson went to do his live.
- 18:54They put that up.
- 18:56And they put that up right
- 18:57before they went live or whatever.
- 18:59And I watched it.
- 19:00I was like, oh, wow.
- 19:00That was incredible.
- 19:02Yeah, really, really.
- 19:03Patrick Rios deserves a huge shout out.
- 19:05That was super, super well done.
- 19:09And if you get the opportunity to watch it,
- 19:10you should.
- 19:14The other thing I just wanted to point out,
- 19:16and this is just an observation,
- 19:17I don't want to dig up
- 19:20old arguments or anything
- 19:21like that but there was a
- 19:22point in the in the behind
- 19:24the scenes where they are
- 19:26showing footage of the
- 19:27athlete briefing and the
- 19:29athletes are being briefed
- 19:31by a safety person on their
- 19:33internal body temperature
- 19:35and how they need to make
- 19:37sure to keep it as close to
- 19:39normal as possible and that
- 19:41that is something they need
- 19:42to look out for and
- 19:44something that they need to
- 19:46um be ready to assess as as
- 19:50the events going on I found
- 19:53that fascinating and I'm
- 19:55not I'm not going to make
- 19:56an editorial comment about
- 19:57that other than this
- 20:01I've been in a lot of
- 20:01athlete briefings as a judge,
- 20:03and I'm sure Andrew Sten
- 20:04can jump in on this as well.
- 20:08The athletes do not pay
- 20:09attention to anything.
- 20:11And I say the athletes, I'm saying like,
- 20:14seventy percent of the
- 20:15athletes do not pay
- 20:16attention in an athlete brief.
- 20:20They're on their phones.
- 20:21They're talking to one
- 20:22another and they're not
- 20:23paying attention to any,
- 20:24any part of the standards of the workout,
- 20:27the workout flow, any of that stuff,
- 20:30let alone a safety guy
- 20:32coming in at that moment to
- 20:33tell them what they should
- 20:34and should not be looking out for.
- 20:39Yeah.
- 20:42We've talked several times about,
- 20:46is there a better way to do
- 20:47the athlete brief?
- 20:52yeah I mean I feel like it
- 20:54should be recorded because
- 21:02then I mean you can't say
- 21:04you miss some like if you
- 21:07can't re-watch and like
- 21:09delve into that information
- 21:11and pick through it like
- 21:14yeah you could somebody
- 21:16could have been talking
- 21:16next to you and you may
- 21:17have missed been able to
- 21:19unhear like not hear what
- 21:20was said at one point and so
- 21:25you know, that's,
- 21:26that would be unfortunate if it's,
- 21:27if it's recorded and you can go watch it,
- 21:30that's on you for not like
- 21:32seriously picking through that and,
- 21:34and getting every detail.
- 21:37My thought was it's on you
- 21:38to listen to every aspect
- 21:39of it as an adult signed up for the sport,
- 21:42right?
- 21:42Yes.
- 21:44But you are correct.
- 21:45Some people that aren't you
- 21:46are talking beside you and
- 21:48then you miss what's going on.
- 21:50Yes.
- 21:50And I've heard frustrations
- 21:51from athletes in that vein
- 21:54before you said that.
- 22:01I know some people have done
- 22:04a recorded version of it or
- 22:08a Zoom recorded version of it
- 22:11it all gets bizarre and odd and,
- 22:15and even to make sure
- 22:16everybody kind of watches it.
- 22:17Right.
- 22:17Yeah.
- 22:21I wish there was just a
- 22:22better way for them to figure out,
- 22:26to figure out how that does that.
- 22:31Yeah.
- 22:31Andrew says,
- 22:32asking a question at a live
- 22:33brief allows everyone to
- 22:34hear the question.
- 22:36I don't,
- 22:38I know what you're saying,
- 22:39but a lot of times you
- 22:40can't hear the person
- 22:41asking the question.
- 22:42Right.
- 22:43Only the people down front
- 22:44can hear and they don't always repeat it.
- 22:47So you don't even know what
- 22:48they're answering for.
- 22:52I don't mind the live brief.
- 22:54And yeah,
- 22:55you should attend and ask questions,
- 22:58but I think it should be recorded.
- 23:00I think you should be able
- 23:01to go back and listen and catch.
- 23:03And you're like, wait,
- 23:05what did they say to that or whatever?
- 23:07You should be able to go back and,
- 23:08you know,
- 23:09if your coach isn't with you or
- 23:11you got it, like anything,
- 23:12like you could go sit back
- 23:13and watch it and be like, all right,
- 23:15this is what they said.
- 23:16This is what we need to do.
- 23:17Like we need a game plan around this.
- 23:19Andrew says no, no perfect story.
- 23:20Sure.
- 23:22Sherry says they want to be
- 23:23professional athletes.
- 23:24Professional athletes should
- 23:25take that type of information seriously.
- 23:28They really should.
- 23:29But I'm just telling you they don't.
- 23:32But I will also tell you this.
- 23:34I flew into to Mesa for
- 23:38Legends two years ago.
- 23:40Jamie was meeting me there.
- 23:41They got a flight delay and
- 23:43she could not get there due
- 23:46to air travel for the athlete briefing.
- 23:50Right.
- 23:50And she's like, take notes.
- 23:52And I'm like, oh my God,
- 23:53she's relying on me.
- 23:57If they had a recorded version of that,
- 23:59you could go back and watch
- 24:01that once you arrived in town.
- 24:06So it was just an
- 24:10observation I saw from the
- 24:11behind the scenes.
- 24:11I'm like, nobody has said that happened.
- 24:15And then when I saw it, it was like, wait,
- 24:18now is that the right place
- 24:19for that to happen?
- 24:23Yeah.
- 24:27So anyway, crazy, crazy, crazy,
- 24:31but it was really well done.
- 24:32We really, um, just kudos to the,
- 24:37the behind the scenes are
- 24:38always one of my favorite things.
- 24:40I love to see what goes on
- 24:41behind the scenes.
- 24:43And speaking of that,
- 24:44if you have not been
- 24:45watching boys interrupted,
- 24:47like I cannot get enough of it.
- 24:49They're great.
- 24:52And Jason Hopper is going to
- 24:53be climbing the ladder of
- 24:57star in the sport because
- 25:00he is so open about his goofiness.
- 25:05The story he told about that
- 25:08he had been at some places
- 25:09with Thor Bjornsson, the strong man.
- 25:13And then he saw him in an
- 25:14airport and he went up and
- 25:15was walking past me.
- 25:16He's like, what's up?
- 25:18and thor's like I don't know
- 25:19who this person is and
- 25:20walked right by him like
- 25:26I'm just gonna keep walking
- 25:32oh it's so good
- 25:35He is so willing to,
- 25:38he doesn't care if he looks
- 25:39bad in the story.
- 25:41Yeah.
- 25:43It's just funny.
- 25:45And the fact that he does that,
- 25:46he does it more than the other two,
- 25:48for sure.
- 25:51Yeah.
- 25:54I mean,
- 25:55what can you do but laugh at yourself?
- 25:58And I feel like Jason puts
- 25:59himself into a lot of
- 26:01positions where he's got to
- 26:02just laugh at himself.
- 26:03Yeah.
- 26:05Yeah.
- 26:06Yeah.
- 26:06You have to, right?
- 26:07Right.
- 26:08We all have to in this life.
- 26:10The other thing that I found
- 26:12funny is it is evidence
- 26:14that we think the athletes
- 26:17are dialed in to what's
- 26:18going on in the sport and
- 26:19the scene and all that stuff.
- 26:21They have no clue.
- 26:22Agreed.
- 26:25There are a handful that
- 26:27follow everything.
- 26:28And most of them are just
- 26:29worried about getting their
- 26:31workout in and their
- 26:32training in and getting to
- 26:33the next event.
- 26:35Cause they really had no idea.
- 26:39It was like Medeiros was
- 26:41like surprised about the
- 26:44way Hillary acted to some
- 26:45of the things on his twenty
- 26:47five point one.
- 26:48Yeah.
- 26:49Like you haven't been seeing
- 26:51this for the last two years.
- 26:52Right.
- 26:52Yeah.
- 27:02I'm glad that Justin saw it
- 27:04and corrected it and he
- 27:08didn't really seem to take
- 27:09anything too personally.
- 27:13It frustrates me when I see
- 27:15people like Guy and I hate
- 27:18this that even Mayhem I get
- 27:21they were trying to troll
- 27:22the whole thing but
- 27:26I would think that Rich
- 27:28would thank Killer for
- 27:34pointing these things out.
- 27:36Like,
- 27:36nobody wants their athletes to look bad,
- 27:38but, like, if you can catch that stuff,
- 27:40like, same with Maino.
- 27:43Like,
- 27:44the way she redid that and then
- 27:46flipped off the camera, that just, like,
- 27:51frustrates the heck out of me.
- 27:52Like, he was trying to do you a solid.
- 27:58But the flip off, you have to,
- 28:01you don't know what her
- 28:01interpretation of that is.
- 28:02Like, see, I can do it.
- 28:06I don't think he said you couldn't do it.
- 28:08He's trying to say you
- 28:09aren't hitting standards and doing it,
- 28:11giving you enough time to.
- 28:14But I know you don't need this,
- 28:15but a lot of athletes need
- 28:16a chip to drive them.
- 28:21The standards thing has
- 28:23always frustrated me.
- 28:25Like, I.
- 28:30I got called a bitch in the
- 28:33seven East as universe for
- 28:35pointing out standards to somebody else.
- 28:37And the fact that,
- 28:40that people take that stuff
- 28:41so personally is,
- 28:45is mind boggling to me.
- 28:46Like all I want is all of us
- 28:48to move well so that next
- 28:51year when someone else does something,
- 28:52they aren't like, well,
- 28:54this is the way I've always done.
- 28:55And this is what everyone does.
- 28:57This is what I see all the time.
- 28:58Like with the judges course,
- 29:01I'm sure you took it, right?
- 29:04Nope, not this year.
- 29:05Well, in the judge's course,
- 29:06it specifically says we're
- 29:08not trying to find the
- 29:10sneakiest athlete who can
- 29:12find the best way to short,
- 29:15like get on the corner of
- 29:17the box or find the best
- 29:18way to like shorten this rep.
- 29:19And we're just not trying to
- 29:21find the sneakiest athlete
- 29:23who can get away with the most.
- 29:26You as an athlete know how
- 29:28to freaking move and you
- 29:30should move correctly.
- 29:33and stop trying to skirt the standards,
- 29:36that's what's so frustrating.
- 29:37And all Andrew is trying to
- 29:39do is give some of these
- 29:41people a heads up and
- 29:43they're being offended for it.
- 29:45And it's like,
- 29:47if you called me out for standards,
- 29:50thank you.
- 29:53I mean, I would be like, well,
- 29:56I totally missed that
- 29:57because like I try to move really,
- 29:58really well.
- 29:59Like and I ask people to review my video.
- 30:01So if you if you catch
- 30:03something that I missed, my judge missed,
- 30:06like let me know.
- 30:10Yeah, I it is integrity.
- 30:11And I don't know if some of
- 30:13these people just don't have it.
- 30:14I don't like no one's trying
- 30:16to say like and no one's
- 30:18necessarily trying to say
- 30:19you were intentionally trying to cheat.
- 30:22And maybe you just were moving that fast.
- 30:25I just think.
- 30:26Sometimes it seems like you
- 30:28are because you aren't
- 30:29taking accountability for it.
- 30:30You aren't trying to do better.
- 30:32You're,
- 30:32you're just putting out this
- 30:34trolling video that like, no,
- 30:37how about you just do it
- 30:38correctly and be like, thank you.
- 30:41Thanks for pointing that out.
- 30:43So this is just because I
- 30:44want to show the difference
- 30:45in interpretation.
- 30:47So I took the mano agonies as like,
- 30:51she acted how I would act
- 30:52when I was in my competitive era, right?
- 30:57And this is exactly what I
- 30:58would have been thinking.
- 30:59The flip-off was, I got it.
- 31:03I am the shit.
- 31:04I can do this.
- 31:06That's my interpretation of what that was,
- 31:09right?
- 31:11D. Reed says it was a classless gesture.
- 31:13So I think depending on how
- 31:14you're viewing it in your mindset,
- 31:17it can be either or.
- 31:19And the only person who
- 31:20truly knows is her.
- 31:25I mean,
- 31:25I think she was flipping him off
- 31:26for calling out his video personally.
- 31:28But yeah, you're right.
- 31:29It could be a... Yeah,
- 31:31I can still... I can do it.
- 31:33I don't know.
- 31:34It's just weird to me.
- 31:34I'm a guy who... Like when
- 31:36I... I wasn't the most
- 31:37talented athlete ever.
- 31:39And I needed that chip on my
- 31:40shoulder to do... I needed
- 31:43to think that someone
- 31:45wanted to take it from me
- 31:46or that someone...
- 31:48And I could,
- 31:48I may have made it all up in my head.
- 31:51And so that's just so
- 31:54flipping off that I would
- 31:56have done that when I was.
- 31:57Eighteen and twenty years old.
- 32:01Just being honest,
- 32:02I don't know how I feel
- 32:04about the flipping off,
- 32:05but I like I interpret it as.
- 32:08I locked out and I did
- 32:09better screw you guys, but.
- 32:12It's not the way that I would respond,
- 32:14but.
- 32:15I'd be probably more
- 32:16thankful to get it done
- 32:19versus getting a big penalty.
- 32:25Everybody needs different motivation.
- 32:28Right?
- 32:30I don't know.
- 32:34And I don't agree with...
- 32:37Andrew said too many,
- 32:38too many don't have integrity these days.
- 32:40And if you ain't cheating,
- 32:41you ain't trying attitude is garbage.
- 32:43I agree with that.
- 32:44I agree.
- 32:44I don't believe in cheating.
- 32:46Yeah.
- 32:46But you hear that all the time.
- 32:48Like I'm going to people,
- 32:50the athletes say that a lot.
- 32:51I'm going to keep doing
- 32:53whatever I can get away
- 32:54with until the judge.
- 32:55And that's what pisses me
- 32:56off because the judge's
- 32:57court specifically says you
- 33:00as an athlete need to not
- 33:01even push that line and
- 33:03they just keep doing it.
- 33:06Don't leave it in question.
- 33:08Quit trying again,
- 33:10quit trying to be the one
- 33:12to get away with it or the
- 33:13sneakiest athlete out there.
- 33:16Not sneaky in terms of like
- 33:18going around the,
- 33:19like doing unconventional movement stuff.
- 33:22But I think in order to have
- 33:24a fast score for the most part,
- 33:26like you have to be on the
- 33:28right side of the line, obviously,
- 33:29but like you sometimes have
- 33:30to be close to the line or
- 33:33else you're just not fast enough.
- 33:36been watching a lot of
- 33:37wrestling lately too and I
- 33:39I took it kind of like this
- 33:41as d generation x suck it
- 33:44and move on like I think
- 33:45that just was but again
- 33:47some people didn't like
- 33:48that either never liked it um
- 33:59Sorry.
- 34:00We'll move on to brighter things.
- 34:03Twenty five point one is done and dusted.
- 34:06We haven't got to talk the
- 34:07three of us since that happened.
- 34:10Carolyn Prevo, sixth in the world.
- 34:13Jamie Latimer, sixth in her age group.
- 34:16Not too shabby, ladies.
- 34:19How are you feeling about
- 34:21your finishes on twenty five point one?
- 34:25I'm happy for mine, yeah.
- 34:27It was a good redo.
- 34:28I had all my paces there,
- 34:30and after each one, I was like,
- 34:31four seconds ahead, ten seconds ahead,
- 34:34thirty seconds ahead,
- 34:35fifty seconds ahead.
- 34:35And in my head, I'm doing the math.
- 34:36I'm like, okay,
- 34:37two seconds to rep on the clean and jerk.
- 34:39I'm like, gosh, I'm going to get far.
- 34:40I'm getting excited as the rounds go on,
- 34:43because I was just in way
- 34:44more control of...
- 34:46my body on my redo than the
- 34:49first time around like
- 34:50where so I did two foot up
- 34:54two foot across like every
- 34:56time on my um first try and
- 34:59then on the redo I stepped
- 35:01up um like I would kick
- 35:03back and I think step up
- 35:04the outside leg every time
- 35:06and I think I just kind of
- 35:07slowed down a little bit on
- 35:09my first try then this that
- 35:11one was just I was able to
- 35:12just be more in control
- 35:15I slowed down a little bit
- 35:16in the round of thirty
- 35:19because I was on pace in
- 35:21the round of thirty to
- 35:22finish thirty cleaner jerks.
- 35:24So I was like,
- 35:25once I looked at the scores
- 35:26that I was only a couple of
- 35:26reps from a top three, I was like, darn,
- 35:29I'm so close.
- 35:31So Craig says great jobs.
- 35:34Jamie,
- 35:35did you redo or was that your first
- 35:36one and done?
- 35:38That my three or three was a
- 35:40redo on Sunday.
- 35:40OK.
- 35:43Advice is so impressive, Carolyn.
- 35:47My guy Dan Church was in
- 35:48Columbus to do the workout.
- 35:51He went to my old gym, Shred CrossFit,
- 35:53and worked out with Amy.
- 35:55Awesome.
- 35:57And got his open workout there on, I think,
- 35:59Saturday morning last week.
- 36:05He was pretty impressive to
- 36:06all the athletes there at Shred.
- 36:07That's awesome.
- 36:09They really thought he was a
- 36:12pretty cool athlete.
- 36:15And then everybody wanted to
- 36:16know where the black eye
- 36:17came from and I had to fill them in.
- 36:20Dan's got a black eye.
- 36:22He missed a box, Joe and face planted.
- 36:29Oh, Oh man.
- 36:34That is, that is insane.
- 36:37I I've missed a lot of box jumps.
- 36:38I have never come down face first.
- 36:42Did he hit the box?
- 36:44Broke his nose.
- 36:45Over the box and like fall on his face.
- 36:56Yeah.
- 36:56I didn't see video or anything like that.
- 36:58I just know the story.
- 37:00We had a terrible box
- 37:02accident at our gym like five,
- 37:05six years ago.
- 37:06Absolutely awful.
- 37:09Ugh.
- 37:11Cross fat.
- 37:12Missing a box jump with your face.
- 37:13It's impressive.
- 37:14Yeah.
- 37:19Black guy.
- 37:20I thought you said black guy
- 37:21because you had to explain Charlie's.
- 37:24Presence.
- 37:29Oh, that's wonderful.
- 37:30Dan fills us in.
- 37:30I tipped the box over from the top.
- 37:33Had my gym a mess because of
- 37:35a kid obstacle course.
- 37:37Hit my face on an aerobic step.
- 37:39Oh, yeah.
- 37:42Yeah.
- 37:43Wow.
- 37:43Yeah.
- 37:44The tipping the box over
- 37:45from the top is how I've
- 37:46seen the major accidents.
- 37:50When, when the boxes are very light.
- 37:53Yes.
- 37:53I don't like those ones.
- 37:54Like they're not safe to jump.
- 37:55They're not safe.
- 37:56They're, they're, they're squishy,
- 37:57but they're actually not safe.
- 37:59You want the squishy ones that are heavy.
- 38:01Yes.
- 38:02Not the light ones.
- 38:03Cause if you don't get that
- 38:04full foot on it, that thing's flipping.
- 38:07Uh, Sarah step ups for life.
- 38:10I'm with you, girl.
- 38:11Yeah.
- 38:13I can't blame some people.
- 38:16So the other thing we know
- 38:18now after twenty four point
- 38:19twenty five point one is
- 38:20Colton is still fit.
- 38:22Mirjam is still fit.
- 38:25They they won similar workouts last year,
- 38:27win them again this year.
- 38:29No surprise there.
- 38:31Were there any other scores
- 38:33that surprised you from twenty five one?
- 38:35No, not really.
- 38:47And now because that's done,
- 38:48we know the ins and outs.
- 38:50We haven't got to talk about
- 38:52that on this show.
- 38:54I think someone like Holta
- 38:55is just impressive.
- 38:57Just does it right away the
- 38:58Thursday and just is just
- 39:00like smashing it.
- 39:01Puts out her video early.
- 39:04Is she unretiring?
- 39:05What's up there?
- 39:06That's my question.
- 39:09Point two is incredible too.
- 39:12I don't know.
- 39:13Maybe that's what she's
- 39:14decided to try Masters.
- 39:16Well, she competed at Dubai this year,
- 39:18right?
- 39:20Yeah, with her group.
- 39:22Yes.
- 39:24So who knows?
- 39:28Norway was dominant again in that workout.
- 39:34Like her whole group.
- 39:36Leah Storen, Oda, Kristen Holta.
- 39:44We saw the ins and outs
- 39:46after who is doing the open, who's not.
- 39:49Any surprises in that list?
- 39:51The only one that surprised me,
- 39:52and I've talked about it,
- 39:53so I'll let you guys have the floor,
- 39:54is Saxon.
- 39:56Did you ever figure anything out?
- 39:57Have you been able to get a hold of him?
- 39:59Still nothing.
- 40:00Nothing.
- 40:04I mean,
- 40:04that's the only one that was
- 40:05surprising to me.
- 40:07I'm glad to see Ariel in.
- 40:09I mean, yeah, I was waiting to see Ariel.
- 40:11I feel like she just kind of
- 40:13decided maybe a last minute thing, too,
- 40:15because she never really
- 40:16said anything prior.
- 40:17And I think that she just
- 40:18kind of let her mindset
- 40:21probably make the decision
- 40:22that weekend and rolled with it.
- 40:26Yeah.
- 40:27So a little bit about Danielle and Danny.
- 40:30uh with daniel being on the
- 40:32pfaa this year and um and
- 40:35danny making some
- 40:37statements right after the
- 40:39games last year but glad to
- 40:41see they're both there but
- 40:42I think that like just
- 40:43because people are in does
- 40:44not mean that they're in
- 40:45agreement with everything
- 40:46but they're gonna they're
- 40:48gonna be you know
- 40:50In while change is hopefully happening,
- 40:53right?
- 40:53And then some people are out
- 40:55waiting for changes or some
- 40:56people are out with no coming back.
- 40:59Like that was it.
- 41:00So I just think there's
- 41:01different scenarios as to
- 41:04why people are in or out.
- 41:06And just because they're
- 41:09doing the open doesn't mean
- 41:10they're doing the whole season.
- 41:12That's also true.
- 41:13There's no requirement there either.
- 41:15Right.
- 41:16But I'm glad they...
- 41:18signed up and are doing it
- 41:19regardless of they're doing
- 41:20the season I'm glad they
- 41:22are doing the open workouts
- 41:24in case you missed it dex
- 41:25hopkins is in but scaled
- 41:26only is he injured or just
- 41:29doing uh he is injured
- 41:32injured his wrist was
- 41:33injured at masters but I
- 41:34don't know is that still
- 41:35what it is yeah uh
- 41:43okay so there's that um we
- 41:50had the announcement in
- 41:51phoenix uh with sydney and
- 41:54emily um oh dex nerve
- 41:59issues I hate to hear that
- 42:02yeah um we had the
- 42:06announcement with sydney and emily um
- 42:11what did you think about the crowd,
- 42:13the announcement, the way it went down?
- 42:19I thought it was just
- 42:21typical open announcement.
- 42:22There's nothing like, um, memorable,
- 42:25but in terms of, it was, it was good.
- 42:27It hit all the spots.
- 42:28Community was loud in the background.
- 42:31Um,
- 42:33they didn't they didn't take
- 42:34too long to get to the
- 42:35workout you know they they
- 42:38spoke about their um
- 42:40non-profit um thing which
- 42:43was cool um and then they
- 42:45essentially announced it
- 42:46and then the girls were
- 42:47doing it so I mean it's
- 42:49it's what we're so we're
- 42:50looking for we're not
- 42:51looking for like an hour
- 42:52long announcement show so I
- 42:54think I think it was good um
- 42:59What I liked most about it
- 43:00is it feels like so far the
- 43:03focus is on the community.
- 43:06And and they allowing them
- 43:09uptight to the action.
- 43:11The cheering is super, super loud.
- 43:14I think the people reading
- 43:16off the announcements are
- 43:17doing a better job than
- 43:18even some of the celebrity
- 43:20people did in the past.
- 43:22They're bringing a lot more fire to it.
- 43:25I was pumped because my
- 43:26friend Tommy Tammy Saunders,
- 43:28I was part of the
- 43:29announcement who was a
- 43:30Masters Games athlete last year.
- 43:33And runs Barbell Saves,
- 43:35which is a program that
- 43:40helps with sobriety.
- 43:42And if you are forty eight hours sober,
- 43:44you can come work out at
- 43:45their gym for free any day of the week.
- 43:48And it's an awesome program.
- 43:50And that she got to share
- 43:52that with the world on that
- 43:53open announcement,
- 43:54I thought was a really cool
- 43:55touch for sure.
- 43:56Yeah, that was awesome.
- 44:00And she was a star of the
- 44:02behind the scenes of the
- 44:03masters CrossFit games.
- 44:05So, uh,
- 44:06fun to see her up there doing that.
- 44:08And I texted her and told
- 44:10her how proud I was of her
- 44:11and how she did with that.
- 44:12So, uh, super cool.
- 44:16Sydney made a nice little
- 44:17run there on that last barbell,
- 44:18made it a little exciting.
- 44:22I was super impressed with her.
- 44:25She crushed her twenty twenty two self.
- 44:28Did you see her video she
- 44:29posted on her Instagram?
- 44:31I did not.
- 44:32Oh, man, that's rough to watch.
- 44:34It's just a bunch of like
- 44:35failed reps and just like a
- 44:37mental breakdown, basically,
- 44:39on like those last few reps.
- 44:40And she's like,
- 44:41I never thought I would be
- 44:42posting this again.
- 44:43I can just imagine, you know.
- 44:45If I'm putting myself in her
- 44:46shoes and I'm during the
- 44:48announcement and I have
- 44:49this recall of that workout,
- 44:51how nerve-wracking that
- 44:52must be to now have to
- 44:54perform that workout in
- 44:56front of everyone in the
- 44:57community and that didn't
- 44:58go so well maybe the first time.
- 45:01Kudos to her to put on a
- 45:04good performance and almost
- 45:07have a little comeback there at the end.
- 45:09Made it close.
- 45:11This workout is gnarly.
- 45:13To
- 45:14have I mean for someone like
- 45:17cindy I feel like you you
- 45:19know you're gonna do better
- 45:20right like you just know
- 45:22you're fitter but that
- 45:24could also and then you're
- 45:26racing someone like emily
- 45:28could you like could
- 45:29immediately put yourself in
- 45:30a hole and like implode and
- 45:34she she did great yeah
- 45:39Yeah.
- 45:41What are your thoughts on
- 45:42the workout itself?
- 45:44We all did it in twenty two.
- 45:47Are you glad this is the one
- 45:48that that repeated?
- 45:49No.
- 45:53No.
- 45:54I'm good with it.
- 45:57I mean,
- 45:57it's not that many double unders
- 45:58compared to what it can be.
- 46:00So I was like, oh,
- 46:02this is best case scenario.
- 46:04I was like, this is nice.
- 46:05Well, I wanted to ask you about that.
- 46:06You've been working really
- 46:07hard on your doubles.
- 46:09And everybody knows that's
- 46:11been your Achilles heel for a long time.
- 46:14Are you glad for the
- 46:15opportunity to attack it?
- 46:18Or were you hoping to get as
- 46:19far as you could without it?
- 46:21I look back on my video on
- 46:23the and the caution I would
- 46:27take going to the rope.
- 46:29taking a few breaths,
- 46:30no urgency to even go
- 46:32through the pull-ups,
- 46:32knowing it's going to spike
- 46:33my heart rate up for the double-unders.
- 46:37I'm good at Fran.
- 46:38Any type of Fran workout is my jam.
- 46:40The friendly Fran in the
- 46:49pulling gymnastics.
- 46:50But like when I look back on my video,
- 46:52like there was just like no
- 46:54urgency for me in twenty
- 46:55twenty two because I was
- 46:56scared to pick up the rope
- 46:57and it was like I would
- 46:58pick up the rope and it would be like
- 47:01And, like, hey, calm yourself,
- 47:02calm yourself, and then start.
- 47:06And I missed – I was, I think,
- 47:08unbroken that year two
- 47:11rounds and then missed my
- 47:12last round a few times,
- 47:13obviously with the fatigue.
- 47:16But, no, this time around, like,
- 47:18I was able to just finish my pull-ups,
- 47:20pick up the rope right away
- 47:22without that –
- 47:23fear that I normally have
- 47:24anxiety I should say um so
- 47:27that's that's positive um
- 47:30I've been able to do much
- 47:32better sets now I I don't
- 47:34really try to go large
- 47:35large sets right now in
- 47:36training just smaller and
- 47:39be consistent but it's been
- 47:41going well yeah I um I I
- 47:47did my workout today and I
- 47:50was conflicted because
- 47:52I mean,
- 47:52I have not had a very healthy last
- 47:54couple of years.
- 47:55So when I looked back at my workout,
- 47:57I did foundations because I
- 47:59was coming off a lung infection,
- 48:02I think at the time.
- 48:03And so back then I was doing
- 48:06actually like ring row or
- 48:08like upright row into jumping pull-ups.
- 48:14And so I didn't want to go
- 48:15all the way back there again.
- 48:17So I said,
- 48:17I'll do it scaled and then still
- 48:19try to beat my time.
- 48:21And so the last time I got to the pull-ups,
- 48:24I didn't, I didn't get a pull-up.
- 48:26And then, so,
- 48:27one hundred and fifty six reps.
- 48:28And then my tiebreaker time
- 48:30was ten thirty four.
- 48:33So I did it scaled this time
- 48:34with jumping pull-ups,
- 48:37jumping chest to bar.
- 48:40And I got one hundred and fifty six reps,
- 48:44but a tiebreak time of nine eighteen.
- 48:49Isn't wasn't scale jumping, pull up,
- 48:52pull up chest for fifty five plus.
- 48:56Oh.
- 49:01Yeah, this fifty five plus thing is weird.
- 49:05Because everything is and in
- 49:07there are X in the fifty five plus,
- 49:10they take out the bar muscle up.
- 49:11Correct.
- 49:14But there are fifty five
- 49:15year olds that can do bar muscle ups.
- 49:17Right.
- 49:17I think it sucks for them.
- 49:18Yeah.
- 49:19It's because they can't break.
- 49:20You can't break it down.
- 49:22You can't have that many
- 49:23different on a score sheet for the open.
- 49:27So it's just you just get there.
- 49:29You just do it faster if
- 49:30you're fifty five because
- 49:33like the sixty five year olds,
- 49:35it would it would be a tough workout.
- 49:39Yeah.
- 49:40So it kind of needs to be that way.
- 49:42What made me happy is my
- 49:44upper body pulling is getting stronger.
- 49:46I'm getting closer to pull-ups again.
- 49:50And hopefully by next year, I have them.
- 49:53Because I'm getting really close again.
- 49:59Yeah.
- 50:02CrossFit says I have some
- 50:05six-year-olds who are very
- 50:06good at bar muscle ups.
- 50:08I am not saying the
- 50:09fifty-five-year-old crowd
- 50:10would not do great at this workout.
- 50:13I'm saying the sixty-five crowd wouldn't.
- 50:16And you can't break it down
- 50:17into that many groups.
- 50:21Also, CrossFit up here said
- 50:25Good repeat for an affiliate.
- 50:28I finished when I didn't in twenty two.
- 50:30I was definitely fitter, but dumber than.
- 50:36I do not think this is a
- 50:38great affiliate workout at all,
- 50:41and I do not like the scale.
- 50:44This was a very
- 50:45disheartening workout in
- 50:47twenty two for my athletes,
- 50:49and they were just as
- 50:51frustrated when it came out this year.
- 50:54And it's extremely hard to set up.
- 50:57You are setting up jumping
- 50:59pull-up stations,
- 51:00like pulling out different weights,
- 51:02measuring that every heat
- 51:04for every different style
- 51:06of athlete is awful.
- 51:10Yeah.
- 51:10The measuring of the jumping pull-ups.
- 51:13So everybody,
- 51:13everybody's a different height.
- 51:15Yes.
- 51:16So it's different for every single person.
- 51:18Yes.
- 51:18Going to grab another forty
- 51:20five plate to raise this
- 51:21one just a little bit higher.
- 51:22Like there's weights everywhere.
- 51:26And I mean.
- 51:28I'd like even the scaled
- 51:30workout was not obtainable for.
- 51:33Fifty percent of my members, maybe more.
- 51:36Like they were immediately
- 51:38when it came out, they were like.
- 51:40Yeah, I don't even want to come do this.
- 51:42I can't do scale.
- 51:45Cause their,
- 51:46their second one was the regular pull-up,
- 51:47right?
- 51:48Yes.
- 51:49The second movement is a,
- 51:50is a limiter for a lot of people.
- 51:52The foundations workout ends
- 51:54in pull-ups foundations.
- 51:57I think they want people to
- 51:58get their first, like,
- 51:59so it's like their first test of our,
- 52:00their first pull-up or even
- 52:02the foundations, um, just to get there.
- 52:05Like it's, you still have to get there.
- 52:07Um,
- 52:07Because they had the bent
- 52:09over rows or something.
- 52:10Bent over row, jumping, pull up, pull up.
- 52:13But foundations are new,
- 52:15are supposed to be new.
- 52:16Like, basically, and they let you, like,
- 52:18you can say you can do
- 52:19whatever you need to do to
- 52:20get through it.
- 52:21So, like,
- 52:23that almost should have been scaled.
- 52:26I'm okay with wanting Scaled
- 52:29to get their first pull-up
- 52:30and working on it.
- 52:31Yeah, I am too.
- 52:34I'm okay with Scaled trying
- 52:37to get their first pull-up.
- 52:38Absolutely.
- 52:41Scaled should have been what
- 52:42Scott's workout was.
- 52:43Jumping pull-up, jumping chest-to-bar,
- 52:45pull-up.
- 52:49Cause if you have chest of bars,
- 52:51you're going to do RX and you're just,
- 52:53that's probably where
- 52:54you're going to stop.
- 52:55Why was the,
- 52:57the workouts didn't make sense.
- 52:59Like even, I mean, foundations was,
- 53:02I had to, I had to scale.
- 53:04I had to scale scale.
- 53:06And then I had to scale foundations.
- 53:10Are they the same scale they
- 53:11use in twenty twenty two?
- 53:13I'm assuming that they
- 53:14didn't change anything.
- 53:15Yeah.
- 53:17The only thing they've
- 53:17changed is in the foundations.
- 53:19Now they're like, Hey,
- 53:20if your person isn't even at this level,
- 53:22feel free to scale them further,
- 53:25whatever.
- 53:25Yeah.
- 53:26Yeah.
- 53:27Which I,
- 53:28so I basically wrote a second
- 53:30foundations that was just
- 53:31like bent over row, standing, pull up,
- 53:33jumping,
- 53:34pull up because like my new
- 53:36people or my fifty, fifty,
- 53:39fifty five year old foundations,
- 53:41people have no business
- 53:42trying to do a pull up.
- 53:44None.
- 53:46yeah it's not even safe it
- 53:49should have been ring row
- 53:50bent over row jumping pull
- 53:52up like that's what
- 53:53foundations should be just
- 53:55do some type of pulling
- 53:57movement and then scale
- 53:58should have been working
- 53:59towards the pull-up I agree
- 54:00with that yeah I'll tell
- 54:06you what though thrusters
- 54:07and jumping pull-ups sucks
- 54:10yeah it really it sucks my
- 54:12legs hurt so bad
- 54:15like I said earlier in the
- 54:16show I came home and I knew
- 54:17that if I sat down I'd be
- 54:18screwed so I went to the
- 54:20garage I started cleaning
- 54:22because I had to keep
- 54:23moving or I was going to I
- 54:25wouldn't be able to walk
- 54:26down here to do the show
- 54:29I still think that like when
- 54:30you look back at like we
- 54:31didn't even have scaled
- 54:32before right like so at
- 54:34least you know uh you know
- 54:36we had workouts that
- 54:37started with double under
- 54:38started with bringing
- 54:39muscle ups um much much
- 54:42harder so I think you know
- 54:43you're still this is the
- 54:45difference between trying
- 54:46to figure out people's
- 54:47levels too and I think that
- 54:49they're just separators I
- 54:50don't know what the next
- 54:51workout is going to be but
- 54:54Um,
- 54:55the first one was very accessible to
- 54:57everyone.
- 54:57This one had, you know,
- 54:59certain levels to it, which is fine.
- 55:01I think that that's part of
- 55:03testing your fitness or like the part,
- 55:06part of the open is not
- 55:07just to have a good workout.
- 55:09It's also to test fitness.
- 55:10Um,
- 55:11so I'm okay with a test being there even,
- 55:13I guess, for the foundations.
- 55:18I just feel like you're
- 55:19getting a level out of this system.
- 55:22And since foundations is
- 55:25more like do whatever you need to do,
- 55:28I don't even know how
- 55:29they're going to apply these levels.
- 55:33I had twenty members have to
- 55:35do foundations and on different
- 55:39I have thirty one people
- 55:40that signed up for the open this year.
- 55:41We're not an affiliate and I
- 55:43pushed it on all of my members.
- 55:44I have thirty one people sign up.
- 55:46Probably ten of them are
- 55:47like brand new and they and
- 55:49they liked last week.
- 55:51And now they're like,
- 55:52what did you sign me up for?
- 55:53Like.
- 55:54And I'm like.
- 55:57well,
- 55:57we're going to try to get you a level
- 55:59and then we're going to try
- 55:59to get you better next year.
- 56:01But like,
- 56:02I already feel like this level
- 56:04system is not knowing that who the,
- 56:06who knows what people did
- 56:07that might also be a level
- 56:09one or two at the end of this,
- 56:10who knows what they did in foundations.
- 56:13Like I,
- 56:13they might not even be comparing
- 56:14next to people that are similar to them.
- 56:19I think with the foundations,
- 56:21the level one and two are
- 56:22going to be janky.
- 56:24Yes, for sure.
- 56:26And those are the people that I was like,
- 56:27you're, you're new to this,
- 56:28but I like that they're doing the levels.
- 56:30Cause I thought it would
- 56:30match our like level method.
- 56:33And I don't think it's going to,
- 56:34and I think it's going to be a,
- 56:35I don't know.
- 56:36I I'm still excited to see it,
- 56:37but I I'm worried that it's
- 56:39going to be a miss.
- 56:40Unfortunately for like, for my affiliate,
- 56:43um,
- 56:44I feel like even if people did the
- 56:46foundation scale,
- 56:47then didn't quite get the
- 56:49workout that they were hoping for.
- 56:52I hope that, you know,
- 56:53it's more about doing it
- 56:55with your community and
- 56:56that that's what they
- 56:57remember more from the open
- 56:58versus their results anyways.
- 57:00Cause like some people are injured,
- 57:01some people are just kind
- 57:03of doing it for fun or whatever.
- 57:05Um, but it's just like,
- 57:06it's just like a party, right?
- 57:07And when you're an affiliate
- 57:08and you have these, these open throw down,
- 57:11whether you do it the
- 57:12Friday night or the Saturday or whenever,
- 57:13um,
- 57:14Um, I think that's,
- 57:16that's what you have to
- 57:16remind the members that
- 57:17it's all about is just
- 57:18doing hard things right now
- 57:19for these three weeks together.
- 57:21Like everyone from the
- 57:22affiliate is going to be
- 57:23doing these workouts and,
- 57:24and supporting and cheering
- 57:26each other on.
- 57:27And I think if that message
- 57:28can get through to the members,
- 57:30I think that, um, you know, people are,
- 57:34people are okay with it because, you know,
- 57:35you're giving
- 57:45show up for our friday night
- 57:47lights it's been incredible
- 57:49uh vi asked jamie since
- 57:50you're not an affiliate do
- 57:52all your members have to
- 57:52submit videos is that how
- 57:54that works yep that's how
- 57:55it works it's so go to
- 57:57redemption's youtube page
- 57:59it's my it's actually all
- 58:00on my youtube you can see
- 58:02them all yeah so you can see every cool
- 58:06You can see every heat.
- 58:07I video them all on my phone, every heat.
- 58:11And it has been really nice.
- 58:14Those of you like Craig and
- 58:15I've got people around the
- 58:17country that will comment
- 58:19on videos and are following along.
- 58:20And it's so cool.
- 58:23But yeah, so I told them that.
- 58:25I was like...
- 58:26Cause that was a concern
- 58:27last year that it's stressful for them.
- 58:31And I was like, listen,
- 58:32I'm going to set up the
- 58:33camera at the beginning of
- 58:34each heat and get your names and
- 58:37there's some heats that I
- 58:38don't set the tape measure out.
- 58:41And I'm like, yup.
- 58:42Just like in every other video,
- 58:44it's six feet from like ours.
- 58:46Our tape was still from last week.
- 58:47So it was sick.
- 58:48It was more than five feet.
- 58:50And I like,
- 58:51there's some people are doing
- 58:52foundations that I'm like,
- 58:54it's plenty far away guys.
- 58:56Like, um, so yeah, they're not,
- 58:58they're not the perfect video.
- 59:00Um,
- 59:01but I am videoing everybody and they
- 59:03all have a video to upload.
- 59:04You guys can go watch them.
- 59:06And I got like, I got,
- 59:09cut off on YouTube.
- 59:11I was trying to upload Saturday,
- 59:13Friday night, Saturday, all my videos.
- 59:17It's basically like they
- 59:19thought I was a robot or a spammer.
- 59:20They're like,
- 59:20you can't upload any more videos.
- 59:23I'm not uploading anything
- 59:25to all of a sudden pumping
- 59:26out some content.
- 59:28This is not...
- 59:29yes so they're like you're
- 59:30on hold so I had to like
- 59:32submit a video of my face
- 59:34like and like get my
- 59:35account on um so I like in
- 59:37my members page I was like
- 59:39I'm on a twenty four hour
- 59:40hold guys your videos will be up soon
- 59:45The only thing that's tough
- 59:46with this one with the
- 59:47affiliates is just the
- 59:48changing of the weights,
- 59:49needing someone there to
- 59:51change the weights.
- 59:51If you actually want to have
- 59:53like the better score,
- 59:55that's more of the issues.
- 59:57But for the most part,
- 59:59most of them don't need
- 59:59much changes of the weights
- 1:00:01because they don't make it
- 1:00:02as far as what we think that, you know?
- 1:00:05Right.
- 1:00:06So, yeah, I would have people like saying,
- 1:00:07they're like,
- 1:00:08do you have forty fives out?
- 1:00:09And I'm like,
- 1:00:10Don't worry.
- 1:00:10I don't need them.
- 1:00:14Don't worry about that third bar.
- 1:00:15Yeah.
- 1:00:16I'm like,
- 1:00:17like one was my husband and I was like,
- 1:00:19I'll watch his bar muscle ups.
- 1:00:20If he's cruising,
- 1:00:21I will get forty fives out.
- 1:00:23Like I like I I know, you know.
- 1:00:26Yeah.
- 1:00:29My first gym,
- 1:00:30the coach would always be like,
- 1:00:32I know the athlete better
- 1:00:33than the athlete knows the athlete.
- 1:00:34One hundred percent.
- 1:00:35Everything's going to be taken care of.
- 1:00:37Yeah.
- 1:00:40so I'm going to pull up the
- 1:00:42leaderboard and we'll see
- 1:00:43who where everybody is
- 1:00:44currently um any
- 1:00:46predictions for this week

- 1:01:32there and you look at
- 1:01:33everyone that's around him

- 1:01:45Um, and I'll look high back again,
- 1:01:48says Stovall's having a good open, uh,
- 1:01:51George Stirner, Jack Rosamund, bill Leahy,
- 1:02:00Sam Demeester, Bronislaw, a link.
- 1:02:03Nice.
- 1:02:06Yeah, he did good.
- 1:02:08He had the same score as me in point one.
- 1:02:10Tola Maracanio, Sam Quant, Ty Jenkins.
- 1:02:19Nice.
- 1:02:21So that's the men.
- 1:02:23And then we go over to the women.
- 1:02:28And we have Fisa Goffey.
- 1:02:32She's having a killer open.
- 1:02:34She is.
- 1:02:35I mean, these are made for her.
- 1:02:36They are.
- 1:02:37Like Colton, right?
- 1:02:37Like.
- 1:02:40DB, Claudia Gluck, Alex Kazan,
- 1:02:44nice bounce back for her, Lucy McGonigal,

- 1:02:52Danny Spiegel, Holta, Never Ages,
- 1:02:58Olivia Kerstetter, Christine Best,
- 1:03:01Emily Rolfe, Allison Scuds, Shelby Neal.
- 1:03:07Did Emily redo it?
- 1:03:10I don't think so.
- 1:03:11I don't think so.
- 1:03:12I think it's still five.
- 1:03:12Eighteen.
- 1:03:13Because that was slower than
- 1:03:15her time in twenty two.
- 1:03:17Still five.
- 1:03:18Yeah.
- 1:03:18She was like five seconds
- 1:03:19slower or something like that.
- 1:03:20Yeah.
- 1:03:21And I was wondering if she was like, well,
- 1:03:23I need to do better than I did.
- 1:03:26My girl, Sydney McElysian.
- 1:03:29There's Tia.
- 1:03:32What was her time?
- 1:03:33Five twenty nine.
- 1:03:38One young person.
- 1:03:40yeah she's just doing enough
- 1:03:41yep zoe warren dana peran

- 1:04:10So you beat your twenty two score.
- 1:04:12Jamie, that's cool.
- 1:04:13Carolyn, you always say.
- 1:04:19Corey says scroll down to
- 1:04:20twenty two ninety seven to
- 1:04:21see where I'm at.
- 1:04:24Larry Young, eighty nine, three, four,
- 1:04:25four.
- 1:04:29Excellent.
- 1:04:30Carolyn,
- 1:04:31you always say you wake up Monday.
- 1:04:33And this like thing comes over you.
- 1:04:36My competitiveness.
- 1:04:39And then you have to fight
- 1:04:40that beast to not do the redo.
- 1:04:46And usually you give in who wins tomorrow,
- 1:04:52the beast or Carolyn.
- 1:04:54Well, Lex, um, works all day tomorrow.
- 1:04:57So if I want to redo,
- 1:05:02I need to message a local
- 1:05:03affiliate here and see if
- 1:05:04someone can judge me
- 1:05:06because Lex won't be able to leave.
- 1:05:08Um,
- 1:05:10before the submission deadline and stuff.
- 1:05:11And I mean,
- 1:05:12unless I want to do it like super early,
- 1:05:14but she's not driving to
- 1:05:15her gym that she would go to.
- 1:05:18So.
- 1:05:20Okay.
- 1:05:21I mean, I have a good score.
- 1:05:22I don't need to redo.
- 1:05:25There we go.
- 1:05:26There's the humble flex.
- 1:05:29But I might read it.
- 1:05:30We'll see.
- 1:05:32See,
- 1:05:32Carolyn doesn't even have to throw up
- 1:05:33the middle fingers.
- 1:05:35She just says my score is good enough.
- 1:05:37Yeah.
- 1:05:39There she is.
- 1:05:43Love it.
- 1:05:43I love the mindset of a
- 1:05:44competitive athlete.
- 1:05:46That just fascinates me.
- 1:05:51Dex, Anxiety Friday versus Redo Monday.
- 1:05:57Yeah,
- 1:05:57especially if you have a decent
- 1:05:59enough score.
- 1:06:00It's like there's no pressure.
- 1:06:01You're just...
- 1:06:05I know what my capacity is.
- 1:06:07It really depends on my execution.
- 1:06:09If I feel I have seconds to do better,
- 1:06:14and then it's looking overall,
- 1:06:18are those four to five seconds worth X, Y,
- 1:06:21and Z places?
- 1:06:22If it's just going to move
- 1:06:22me up two positions,
- 1:06:24I feel like that's my capacity.
- 1:06:27Maybe that's not worth it.
- 1:06:32I don't have...
- 1:06:35certain capacities but like
- 1:06:36I have now I have spent the
- 1:06:38weekend with jamie but
- 1:06:42usually it's in a multiple
- 1:06:43workout weekend and there's
- 1:06:47always a battle there yeah
- 1:06:49and it is fascinating to
- 1:06:51watch yeah I feel like
- 1:06:54there's a lot I mean those
- 1:06:55ones are harder right like
- 1:07:01execution matters a little more in those.
- 1:07:03This is whatever.
- 1:07:06You're going to move on.
- 1:07:06It just really depends on
- 1:07:09how well you want to do.
- 1:07:14There's really no need to
- 1:07:16redo in the open.
- 1:07:19Unless you're trying to go
- 1:07:20for a top three.
- 1:07:23That's the position I want to look at.
- 1:07:28The top three overall or the
- 1:07:29top three in a workout?
- 1:07:32Cause that's,
- 1:07:32that's what has money on the
- 1:07:33line this year.
- 1:07:34If it's for me, it's like, if it was,
- 1:07:36if it's not in the,
- 1:07:37in the books and it's like, okay,
- 1:07:39I don't need to redo.
- 1:07:39Yeah.
- 1:07:44All right,
- 1:07:44so it was announced this week
- 1:07:46that one workout will be at
- 1:07:49every single North American
- 1:07:52in-person semifinal,
- 1:07:54and that will be Heavy Isabel.
- 1:07:57So that means Syndicate Crown,
- 1:08:00Mayhem Classic, TFX,
- 1:08:03and NorCal Classic will all
- 1:08:06have the workout Heavy Isabel.
- 1:08:09Thoughts on that just
- 1:08:11overall that all four...
- 1:08:13where people could go to
- 1:08:15multiple competitions.
- 1:08:19What are your thoughts on that overall,
- 1:08:21having the same workout at
- 1:08:22all those events?
- 1:08:25I like one.
- 1:08:26Go ahead, Jamie.
- 1:08:27You go first.
- 1:08:28You could do it three times live.
- 1:08:30Like, I don't love that.
- 1:08:31Yeah.
- 1:08:39I think when there's only
- 1:08:40one path to go to the games
- 1:08:41and then you have a
- 1:08:42cross-region comparison, that's nice.
- 1:08:47But for those athletes that
- 1:08:48may have to do them
- 1:08:48back-to-back weekends and stuff like that,
- 1:08:51that's not the most fun.
- 1:08:52The one thing I like is you
- 1:08:54probably won't get a max
- 1:08:55lift if this is the heavy lift.
- 1:08:58If you have six events and
- 1:09:00you have that one and then
- 1:09:01you also throw in a max lift,
- 1:09:02you're skewing the
- 1:09:03leaderboard quite a bit.
- 1:09:05I don't think that that
- 1:09:08is necessarily good I think
- 1:09:12it's going to be heavy like
- 1:09:13I think you know the top
- 1:09:15heats it's going to be fun
- 1:09:16but when you start looking
- 1:09:17at like some of the
- 1:09:18competitions like NorCal
- 1:09:19that had fifty athletes
- 1:09:21some of the other ones I
- 1:09:22don't know how many they
- 1:09:23have but I think it's
- 1:09:27definitely like to me it's
- 1:09:29a games level workout for
- 1:09:31sure semi-final I mean we went ten eight
- 1:09:37six four two at you know
- 1:09:39ended at one seventy five
- 1:09:40for the females and one
- 1:09:41thirty five so I guess the
- 1:09:42numbers it's comparable to
- 1:09:45that workout and most
- 1:09:46people crushed it um yeah
- 1:09:49two twenty five one fifty
- 1:09:50five are the weights for
- 1:09:52heavy isabel that's insane
- 1:09:57it's insane I I almost did
- 1:09:59the norcal qualifier and
- 1:10:01let me just say I'm
- 1:10:02thankful that I did not at
- 1:10:03this point because I would
- 1:10:04have just stood there
- 1:10:09Yeah.
- 1:10:14Yeah, I wouldn't, I can't,
- 1:10:16I can't snatch two twenty five.
- 1:10:20But I'll take something like
- 1:10:21this over a max lift.
- 1:10:22Yeah, I don't know.
- 1:10:27I would have been last in both.
- 1:10:29So it doesn't matter.
- 1:10:33Yeah.
- 1:10:35I just don't like how.
- 1:10:37it was leaked or like the
- 1:10:39way that it was leaked to
- 1:10:41Luke Parker or whatever, like if,
- 1:10:45but he's getting sent
- 1:10:46workouts to test for the teams,
- 1:10:48but then something like one
- 1:10:50of them were in there.
- 1:10:52Like,
- 1:10:52I just imagine how many people like
- 1:10:54are testing workouts for
- 1:10:55different things.
- 1:10:55And it's just like, it's just a mess.
- 1:10:57Like it's just a mess.
- 1:10:58Like this unknown and like
- 1:11:01part of our sport is very messy.
- 1:11:03Yeah.
- 1:11:04Very messy.
- 1:11:06There's too many people
- 1:11:07testing workouts and that
- 1:11:09are friends with people in
- 1:11:10the space for these
- 1:11:12competitions to like be
- 1:11:13qualifying athletes and stuff like that.
- 1:11:16And there's leaks obviously
- 1:11:18that happened with this
- 1:11:19open workout that people knew about.
- 1:11:21And apparently there's leaks
- 1:11:22for the next week.
- 1:11:23It's like, it's just like, I don't know.
- 1:11:28It's messy.
- 1:11:29Like it's annoying.
- 1:11:30It's frustrating because
- 1:11:33certain people get
- 1:11:33advantages that others
- 1:11:34don't um some people just
- 1:11:38by testing workouts know
- 1:11:39how to prepare you know
- 1:11:42other people and yeah it's
- 1:11:44I don't know I hate the
- 1:11:48leaks I've said it a
- 1:11:49million times I don't want
- 1:11:50to know my christmas
- 1:11:51present before christmas
- 1:11:52morning I like to be
- 1:11:54surprised um I hate when
- 1:11:56someone spoils a movie or
- 1:11:57spoils a tv show I watch
- 1:12:00sports because I don't know the ending
- 1:12:03That's why I love sports.
- 1:12:05Because I don't know how
- 1:12:06it's going to end.
- 1:12:08Unless you're a Bears fan
- 1:12:09and you know that's just
- 1:12:10going to end in a loss every time.
- 1:12:12But most of the time I don't
- 1:12:14know the ending.
- 1:12:15And this leak shit is for the birds.
- 1:12:18And I'm kind of like with Dex here.
- 1:12:19And this is an extreme reaction.
- 1:12:22But should it be less
- 1:12:23unknown and unknowable and
- 1:12:25more standardized then?
- 1:12:26If you're going to leak it every week,
- 1:12:28why not just get it out
- 1:12:29there so everybody knows
- 1:12:30what it is and knows the standard?
- 1:12:33I think that's why they had
- 1:12:33to release the Isabel one
- 1:12:35because to make it fair,
- 1:12:36because it had been leaked.
- 1:12:38So, um, at least that happened.
- 1:12:42Right.
- 1:12:44But who knows what other
- 1:12:45information other people
- 1:12:46are holding closer to their
- 1:12:47heart and not really saying
- 1:12:48anything because it's an
- 1:12:50advantage to them or their friends.
- 1:12:52Like, I have a,
- 1:12:54I have a list of what the
- 1:12:55workout is for this week already.
- 1:12:57And I hate that.
- 1:12:59Better share it with the club.
- 1:13:03Is it deadlift and rowing?
- 1:13:05Yeah.
- 1:13:05You got some deadlifts for
- 1:13:06me on week three.
- 1:13:08Yep.
- 1:13:08Jamie said it.
- 1:13:11Do you think,
- 1:13:11do you think there's a chance
- 1:13:12that it's like a progression, like,
- 1:13:15like wall walk and then
- 1:13:16handstand push up with
- 1:13:17heavier deadlift and then
- 1:13:18maybe even handstand walk with it.
- 1:13:20Yeah.
- 1:13:20I don't know.
- 1:13:22I just hate that.
- 1:13:24It's supposed to be a chipper.
- 1:13:25So I can't imagine it just being like the,
- 1:13:28the three it's gotta be variations of,
- 1:13:32um,
- 1:13:34And I don't have numbers.
- 1:13:35I didn't get that.
- 1:13:35I just got movements and a chipper.
- 1:13:38Interesting.
- 1:13:40Are we going to get an open
- 1:13:41without toast to bars?
- 1:13:44That's rare.
- 1:13:48Yeah.
- 1:13:50They can be in this master semis.
- 1:13:51That's fine.
- 1:13:52I'll take them.
- 1:13:54But it's just, it's just, it's not fun.
- 1:13:55It's not.
- 1:14:00Yeah.
- 1:14:00It just,
- 1:14:01you can't have that in a sport
- 1:14:02that's supposed to be.
- 1:14:10yeah like unknown yeah well
- 1:14:11it's unfortunate speaking
- 1:14:14of mayhem uh they announced
- 1:14:16the roster for the classic
- 1:14:18and it has changed so much
- 1:14:20since the initial um
- 1:14:22announcement I figured it
- 1:14:26would change quite a bit
- 1:14:27though do you think your
- 1:14:30people are seeing it as an
- 1:14:31impossible task
- 1:14:35I mean, you get, yeah,
- 1:14:36there's gotta be a handful
- 1:14:37of people who are like,
- 1:14:40what am I going here for
- 1:14:41other than just like some experience?
- 1:14:43Well, that's why I didn't like,
- 1:14:45I got invited and I was like, nah,
- 1:14:46I'm good.
- 1:14:47I'll continue to train.
- 1:14:48Like I'm not getting those
- 1:14:48two spots on that first week.
- 1:14:50No way.
- 1:14:50I'm like, yeah,
- 1:14:52I don't need to travel and spend money.
- 1:14:57Some people that might have
- 1:14:57like a shorter distance to drive or
- 1:15:01fly, maybe that makes sense.
- 1:15:04It's still early enough to
- 1:15:05the online semifinals that
- 1:15:09they're able to recover and whatnot,
- 1:15:11or if they have sponsors
- 1:15:12that pay for their stuff.
- 1:15:16I'm sure people looked at
- 1:15:16the roster and were like,
- 1:15:18maybe I'll wait on this one
- 1:15:19and go to somewhere else.
- 1:15:22I think people are going to
- 1:15:23be scrambling at the end of the year.
- 1:15:24I think people are going to be scrambling.
- 1:15:27A lot of people are banking
- 1:15:28on those online.
- 1:15:30A lot of people are banking on the online,
- 1:15:31yeah.
- 1:15:31A lot of people,
- 1:15:32especially the people from the WFP.
- 1:15:35Mm-hmm.
- 1:15:36Yep.
- 1:15:36That have multiple... I think,
- 1:15:42to put it in wrestling terms,
- 1:15:43the North Cal Classic is
- 1:15:45going to be a battle royale.
- 1:15:46Yeah.
- 1:15:47But are they going to invite
- 1:15:48people last minute?
- 1:15:50Like,
- 1:15:50if they already have their field of fifty,
- 1:15:53and they've already got, let's say,
- 1:15:54their fifteen athletes that
- 1:15:56they've invited, like,
- 1:15:57are they going to change
- 1:15:59them last minute?
- 1:16:03don't know like I if I'm
- 1:16:05like if I'm an athlete
- 1:16:05competing like I'm thinking
- 1:16:06too bad so sad like that's
- 1:16:09your fault for not doing
- 1:16:10the qualifier and not
- 1:16:11having one of those like if
- 1:16:12you didn't have one of
- 1:16:13those fifteen spots like I
- 1:16:15don't think people should
- 1:16:15just be like given that
- 1:16:17week of after they don't
- 1:16:18qualify to syndicate a spot
- 1:16:20to norcal like that's if
- 1:16:23this if the roster's
- 1:16:24already filled like that's your fault
- 1:16:29I kind of agree with that.
- 1:16:30If you did the qualifier and you qualified,
- 1:16:33you keep your spot.
- 1:16:35Well,
- 1:16:35there was a qualifier and then there's,
- 1:16:36let's say, fifteen at-large invites.
- 1:16:39And let's say they've already done those.
- 1:16:44And you're scrambling for a
- 1:16:45spot at the end.
- 1:16:46I don't know.
- 1:16:48I think that you have to do
- 1:16:51the qualifier or you're
- 1:16:53right away one of those spots.
- 1:16:54Like, I don't think that's fair.
- 1:16:56They did say on the spin
- 1:16:57that you better be safe and
- 1:17:01do the qualifier.
- 1:17:03I did the qualifier.
- 1:17:07Their registration was very expensive,
- 1:17:08by the way.
- 1:17:09They must have taken Zavon's advice.
- 1:17:13Very expensive.
- 1:17:14It's the most expensive I
- 1:17:15think I've paid for a competition.
- 1:17:21I wasn't even sure whether
- 1:17:22I'm going to go to it, but I was like,
- 1:17:24I don't want to
- 1:17:25not have an opportunity to go.
- 1:17:27So I paid it and I was like,
- 1:17:28Jesus is expensive.
- 1:17:31That's,
- 1:17:31I feel like that's where the
- 1:17:33sport's going.
- 1:17:35I mean,
- 1:17:36that's what everyone keeps saying
- 1:17:37to do charge the elites.
- 1:17:39They're the ones who need the, I mean,
- 1:17:46they need,
- 1:17:46they need all of this catered
- 1:17:49around them.
- 1:17:51You either got to charge
- 1:17:52more for online to have
- 1:17:54more scrutinized judging,
- 1:17:56charge more for the in-person events,
- 1:18:00especially if it's going to
- 1:18:01be a limited comp to just those people.
- 1:18:05I mean,
- 1:18:06that's what like Seve's idea is if
- 1:18:08you could put this together
- 1:18:09and charge one,
- 1:18:10two grand per athlete and
- 1:18:12get them there and run a comp,
- 1:18:13like that's how you get an
- 1:18:15exclusive event.
- 1:18:20I don't think that's sustainable, but.
- 1:18:23I guarantee you there's
- 1:18:24twenty athletes who would
- 1:18:25pay fifteen hundred to go to.
- 1:18:28Oh, I'm sure.
- 1:18:28But they get it and they
- 1:18:29would get it covered.
- 1:18:31But then it's who has the most money.
- 1:18:32A hundred percent.
- 1:18:33That's how the sport works.
- 1:18:34Yeah.
- 1:18:36It's always been like
- 1:18:36CrossFit is an expensive sport.
- 1:18:38It's people living at home, mom, dad,
- 1:18:42whatever, paying the rent,
- 1:18:43paying all the things for
- 1:18:44them to train full time, not work,
- 1:18:46just do their thing and
- 1:18:47then go travel and see if
- 1:18:49they can make it big and
- 1:18:50get some sponsors.
- 1:18:50Like that's what it's,
- 1:18:51that's what our sports been.
- 1:18:52Yeah.
- 1:18:53And that's why we don't get
- 1:18:54the best athletes because
- 1:18:55there's no scholarship and
- 1:18:56stuff like that.
- 1:18:56And then a lot of times the
- 1:18:57real athletes are going to
- 1:18:58play sports that are leading to education,
- 1:19:02getting paid for it, all that.
- 1:19:03Like,
- 1:19:05I've said it for a long time.
- 1:19:07It's a rich sport.
- 1:19:08It's a privileged sport for a lot of time.
- 1:19:13Who can go to all of these competitions?
- 1:19:14Who can go to three back to back?
- 1:19:15Because if you work full time, you can't.
- 1:19:17I can't go to those.
- 1:19:19You have to be doing this
- 1:19:21full time at that level,
- 1:19:22or you have to have
- 1:19:23sponsors paying for all your stuff.
- 1:19:25Yeah, that's what they're pushing for.
- 1:19:27I totally think that's the
- 1:19:29assumption is that sponsors
- 1:19:30will pay for the elites to compete.
- 1:19:32Yes.
- 1:19:36That's so infuriating to me
- 1:19:38because there's so many
- 1:19:39revenue streams that are
- 1:19:40untapped that they've never even tried.
- 1:19:47And it's very upsetting.
- 1:19:51Yeah,
- 1:19:52we got to sell some feet pics like
- 1:19:54Dex says here.
- 1:19:58Get some money.
- 1:20:00I would have people pay me
- 1:20:01to delete them and destroy them.
- 1:20:05Yeah,
- 1:20:06it's such an expensive hobby to go to
- 1:20:11all the comps.
- 1:20:11It's like the flight, the hotel, the food,
- 1:20:14car rental possibly or Ubers,
- 1:20:16then the registration.
- 1:20:18You're looking at two grand
- 1:20:20almost every comp.
- 1:20:22And it's just like if you're
- 1:20:26not making that back and
- 1:20:27you're not qualifying, at a certain point,
- 1:20:30you've got to look and be like, okay,
- 1:20:31I've got to start working
- 1:20:33or doing other things.
- 1:20:34Yeah.
- 1:20:37Cause like the sponsors, there's,
- 1:20:38there's not like that many
- 1:20:39out there that people have.
- 1:20:40It's,
- 1:20:40I feel that it's the same that are
- 1:20:41just recycled with the same
- 1:20:42athletes that have the agents.
- 1:20:44Um, and it's all about who, you know, um,
- 1:20:47in the space.
- 1:20:48And if you don't post too
- 1:20:50much or don't sell yourself online,
- 1:20:52like you have a hard time
- 1:20:54because you're paying
- 1:20:54everything out of pocket.
- 1:20:55Yeah.
- 1:20:57Yeah.
- 1:21:00Well,
- 1:21:00I think this is definitely something
- 1:21:02for a further discussion down the road.
- 1:21:05Um,
- 1:21:06Because I do think there's
- 1:21:08ways for competitions to
- 1:21:09make money that they're not tapping into.
- 1:21:13But the lazy way is to just
- 1:21:15register for registration fees.
- 1:21:19But there we go.
- 1:21:20That's where we're at.
- 1:21:22Um,
- 1:21:22two last things I want to touch on
- 1:21:24before we head out tonight.
- 1:21:26And that is, uh,
- 1:21:27we talked a lot about the
- 1:21:28Arnold last week and how
- 1:21:30impressive the strong men and women were,
- 1:21:32but there was also a tragic
- 1:21:33event that happened at the Arnold and it,
- 1:21:35it was on the news a lot
- 1:21:36here in Columbus.
- 1:21:38And that is that a
- 1:21:39bodybuilder actually passed
- 1:21:40away at the event.
- 1:21:43She was not participating.
- 1:21:45She was coaching,
- 1:21:46but she died because of
- 1:21:48severe dehydration.
- 1:21:51is what they're saying.
- 1:21:54And so thoughts and prayers
- 1:21:56to her and her family.
- 1:21:58It was,
- 1:22:00those are just always tragic events,
- 1:22:02but it shows like what
- 1:22:03extremes we go to when you
- 1:22:05want to be the best at something.
- 1:22:07I worked security at the Arnold for years.
- 1:22:10I've seen what these,
- 1:22:11these guys and ladies do to
- 1:22:14themselves to look the best
- 1:22:15they can on stage.
- 1:22:18And,
- 1:22:18and they push their bodies to the limit.
- 1:22:21and we do that in every
- 1:22:22sport and it's insane yeah
- 1:22:27uh but thoughts and prayers
- 1:22:28to her and her family and
- 1:22:29friends um you never want
- 1:22:31to see a twenty-year-old um pass away
- 1:22:37So there's that.
- 1:22:39And then on a lighter note, we did get,
- 1:22:43I did get approved for
- 1:22:44syndicate crown media
- 1:22:45credentials this week.
- 1:22:46Nice.
- 1:22:47I want to give them a shout
- 1:22:48out because last year we
- 1:22:50got those approvals like
- 1:22:52less than ten days before the event.
- 1:22:55And we are months before the
- 1:22:57event this year.
- 1:22:58And I have my approval for that.
- 1:23:00And
- 1:23:02And that is completely
- 1:23:04different than the way it was last year.
- 1:23:06So we always dog on them when it's bad.
- 1:23:09I want to give them kudos when it's good.
- 1:23:15So we have that.
- 1:23:17And also I have applied for
- 1:23:19WFP media credentials.
- 1:23:22We may have a riff on that
- 1:23:23next week if things don't change quickly.
- 1:23:25Okay.
- 1:23:26Just saying that's the Indiana one, right?
- 1:23:29Correct.
- 1:23:31May.
- 1:23:34Yeah, it is.
- 1:23:34Yeah.
- 1:23:37My wife got scheduled for
- 1:23:38her second knee surgery, May sixth.
- 1:23:42It is the weekend after her surgery.
- 1:23:44So I have to get a wifey
- 1:23:47sitter for the weekend to
- 1:23:49take care of her.
- 1:23:50Hopefully her sister will
- 1:23:51come over and hang with her
- 1:23:53for the weekend so I can go to Indy.
- 1:23:56But yeah, we got to figure that all out.
- 1:24:00Dex will be there.
- 1:24:03Well,
- 1:24:03I don't know if I'm going to be there
- 1:24:04for sure.
- 1:24:06I may have to buy a spectator ticket,
- 1:24:07but we'll see.
- 1:24:12But do you guys have
- 1:24:12anything else before we go?
- 1:24:13I don't have anything else.
- 1:24:20I wish CrossFit had NFL
- 1:24:21money because I'm working
- 1:24:23my phone today and the
