• 0:38
  no stretching to get topics
• 0:40
  no trying to figure out
• 0:41
  what we're going to talk
• 0:42
  about tonight it was real
• 0:44
  easy a whole lot of stuff
• 0:45
  happened this week and this
• 0:47
  weekend so we have a ton of
• 0:49
  stuff to talk about with
• 0:50
  you guys tonight but before
• 0:52
  we even get into the
• 0:52
  welcomes and all of that stuff
• 0:56
  let's talk about this
• 0:57
  burning question that the
• 0:59
  world has to know.
• 1:01
  And that is this week,
• 1:04
  a new Pope was elected and his name was,
• 1:11
  whoop, lost it.
• 1:16
  His name.
• 1:16
  And now I still lost it.
• 1:18
  Dang it.
• 1:19
  Anyway,
• 1:19
  his name is Robert Francis Prevost.
• 1:24
  Robert Francis Prevost.
• 1:27
  Well, I have to know,
• 1:30
  how is he related to you, Carolyn?
• 1:34
  Uh, I mean,
• 1:35
  I'm sure down the line there is
• 1:36
  some relation and if
• 1:38
  there's any assets involved
• 1:39
  in any of this, I am for sure related.
• 1:42
  Um, the first, so like my family dug, uh,
• 1:47
  down like a deep hole this
• 1:49
  weekend of like, what,
• 1:49
  who's the first prevo that we know of, um,
• 1:53
  that came to Canada and it
• 1:54
  was like Martin Prevo.
• 1:55
  And that was like in sixteen something,
• 1:57
  maybe in sixteen thirty
• 1:58
  seven or something.
• 2:00
  Um, so.
• 2:02
  Who knows at that point
• 2:03
  where the pre-welf tree went,
• 2:06
  but I'm sure there's some
• 2:08
  relation at some point for
• 2:10
  that last name.
• 2:11
  Well, if you are related,
• 2:14
  any blessing to the show
• 2:15
  would be much appreciated.
• 2:16
  Yeah.
• 2:20
  We'll take all of that stuff for whatever.
• 2:23
  What's funny for me is he's from Chicago.
• 2:26
  Everybody knows I'm a Chicago Bears fan.
• 2:28
  All of my Chicago stuff that I watch,
• 2:31
  they're like trying to find out,
• 2:32
  is he a White Sox fan?
• 2:33
  Is he a Cubs fan?
• 2:35
  Does he like the Bears?
• 2:36
  Is he going to bless the Bears?
• 2:38
  And, of course,
• 2:38
  the memes are out there
• 2:40
  that Chicago got a Pope before it got a
• 2:50
  Um,
• 2:50
  Linda Jerry says that apparently
• 2:53
  there's some Prevost in new
• 2:54
  Orleans as well.
• 2:56
  Very French there.
• 2:57
  There's some French area there.
• 2:58
  So not surprising.
• 3:02
  Um,
• 3:03
  Andrew Sten went to the WFP on Saturday.
• 3:05
  I got notes.
• 3:05
  Nice.
• 3:06
  Good.
• 3:07
  Well,
• 3:07
  we'll get to that and we'll get to
• 3:08
  that in a second.
• 3:11
  But, um, yeah, so anyway,
• 3:13
  I saw that actually mama Switzer was like,
• 3:15
  is she related?
• 3:17
  Is she related?
• 3:17
  You got to ask her.
• 3:19
  Mama Schweitzer has to know.
• 3:21
  And I said, I'll ask.
• 3:24
  Don't you worry.
• 3:26
  So everything good this week?
• 3:31
  Yeah.
• 3:32
  What was just judging videos all week?
• 3:36
  A week went right.
• 3:38
  Yeah.
• 3:38
  Well, did did Lucas pick Michigan State?
• 3:42
  Is that official?
• 3:43
  So.
• 3:44
  so that's where he, you know,
• 3:47
  that's the only place he
• 3:48
  applied and that's
• 3:50
  essentially been his plan, but I,
• 3:54
  we're forcing him to go to, um,
• 3:57
  LCC for a year.
• 3:59
  It's just financially, we can't,
• 4:01
  we can't make it work with
• 4:02
  the financial aid package
• 4:03
  that we got back.
• 4:04
  Um,
• 4:06
  So, yeah, I know that the,
• 4:08
  what he submitted to the school,
• 4:10
  to the high school when
• 4:10
  they announced all that was
• 4:12
  Michigan State, but no,
• 4:13
  we're going to put them in the,
• 4:14
  we're going to put them LCC.
• 4:18
  Yeah, I, I would, I would.
• 4:23
  The way it happened for me,
• 4:24
  I would encourage every kid
• 4:25
  to go to college first just
• 4:27
  to kind of see it, look at it.
• 4:30
  What do you want it to be?
• 4:32
  And then, you know, I went to like,
• 4:34
  I went to like, I went to like,
• 4:35
  I went to like, I went to like,
• 4:37
  I went to like, I went to like,
• 4:39
  I went to like, I went to like,
• 4:40
  I went to like, I went to like,
• 4:41
  I went to like, I went to like,
• 4:42
  I went to like, I went to like,
• 4:43
  I went to like, I went to like,
• 4:44
  I went to like, I went to like,
• 4:47
  I went to like, I went to like,
• 4:48
  I went to like, I went to like,
• 4:49
  I went to like,
• 4:51
  And it's gone much better
• 4:53
  than the first one.
• 4:55
  Um,
• 4:55
  and the surgery center we went to this
• 4:57
  time,
• 4:57
  last time she had an overnight stay
• 4:59
  this time, not.
• 5:00
  And so this time we went to
• 5:02
  a surgery center.
• 5:04
  I would have done this
• 5:05
  before if I would've known
• 5:06
  how nice it was.
• 5:08
  Um,
• 5:08
  and all the toys they gave us when they
• 5:09
  left, um,
• 5:12
  she's got all the rehab equipment and.
• 5:17
  And so that's awesome.
• 5:18
  And she's doing so good.
• 5:20
  Last time I had to help her
• 5:21
  off of every sitting apparatus.
• 5:23
  The only thing she needs
• 5:24
  help off of is the bed
• 5:26
  because it's lower to the
• 5:27
  ground and everything else.
• 5:30
  So she is, um,
• 5:35
  So she's doing awesome and
• 5:36
  so proud of her.
• 5:37
  And the rehab from the first
• 5:40
  one actually made her knee stronger.
• 5:43
  Yeah.
• 5:43
  Going into this one.
• 5:44
  And so it's just been a lot
• 5:46
  more easy going.
• 5:48
  She's passed like a lot of the pain.
• 5:52
  And so we're getting there.
• 5:53
  That's awesome.
• 5:54
  So Judy Reed is asking,
• 5:58
  same knee or other knee?
• 5:59
  It is the other one.
• 6:01
  This was the plan all along
• 6:02
  is to get both of the knees done, uh,
• 6:04
  in the same benefit year.
• 6:07
  Um,
• 6:07
  because we had reached out of pocket
• 6:09
  maximum on the first knee.
• 6:11
  And so the second knee was free.
• 6:13
  Um,
• 6:14
  I wouldn't get one.
• 6:15
  And so we we got the second one done.
• 6:20
  And and she's doing great.
• 6:23
  And this was the plan all along.
• 6:25
  So hopefully she's up and moving around.
• 6:29
  I think she'll be upstairs this week.
• 6:32
  It's going quick.
• 6:35
  We'll see.
• 6:38
  Yes, go green cross back.
• 6:40
  So green go white.
• 6:43
  I had a biopsy on my fingernail this week.
• 6:47
  Whoa.
• 6:48
  That's right.
• 6:48
  That's right.
• 6:51
  I have been,
• 6:51
  I took like four days fully off.
• 6:54
  I moved around on Friday,
• 6:55
  but there's a lot that I
• 6:56
  like won't be able to do
• 6:58
  for maybe a week or two.
• 7:00
  I mean, the doctor said four weeks,
• 7:02
  three to four weeks without
• 7:03
  doing activity, but I'm like,
• 7:05
  it's a fingernail.
• 7:05
  We're good.
• 7:08
  So I'm just moving around
• 7:10
  and stuff and wrapping it up.
• 7:13
  I don't know what that means, Lynn,
• 7:15
  but you said you went to
• 7:16
  seventeen universities.
• 7:18
  Oh, that it's a little bit facetious,
• 7:21
  but not it's not off by much.
• 7:23
  I'm embarrassed at what my
• 7:24
  bachelor's degree was.
• 7:26
  It was fifteen years of me playing around,
• 7:29
  trying to figure out what I
• 7:30
  wanted to be when I grew up.
• 7:31
  And then when you grow up,
• 7:32
  you realize you just need
• 7:33
  the piece of paper to get
• 7:35
  you in the door.
• 7:36
  And then once you realize that,
• 7:37
  then you just figure it figured out.
• 7:39
  So.
• 7:43
  So what was going on with the fingernail,
• 7:44
  Carolyn?
• 7:45
  So the last, like, four to five years,
• 7:48
  I've had psoriasis develop, like,
• 7:50
  in my hands.
• 7:51
  And it's only really
• 7:52
  attacked my fingernails, like,
• 7:54
  very strongly.
• 7:56
  And none of the creams have
• 7:57
  been working for, like, the last...
• 7:59
  really four years,
• 8:00
  like it hasn't gotten
• 8:01
  better and it's affected
• 8:03
  seven out of my ten
• 8:05
  fingernails or three of
• 8:07
  them are like regular.
• 8:09
  So I finally got to see a
• 8:11
  nail specialist like
• 8:13
  recently and he wanted to
• 8:16
  do a like a biopsy of a few
• 8:19
  fingers at first to see
• 8:20
  like what if there's like
• 8:21
  any underlying causes to it.
• 8:24
  So he was nice enough that
• 8:26
  he did CrossFit before.
• 8:28
  So like he understood how
• 8:31
  much I use my hands.
• 8:33
  So like he picked only one
• 8:34
  finger instead of doing multiple.
• 8:36
  And he did my pinky versus
• 8:38
  doing some of the other ones,
• 8:39
  which are maybe worse than the pinky.
• 8:43
  So at least that was on my side.
• 8:46
  Cause I was like,
• 8:47
  I need to compete in a month.
• 8:48
  He's like, well,
• 8:50
  this is not really good to do.
• 8:52
  Like,
• 8:52
  cause it needs like sometimes like
• 8:54
  four to six weeks, he said to heal.
• 8:56
  Um,
• 8:58
  but I don't really have other times in
• 8:59
  the year to do it.
• 8:59
  So I had already planned it
• 9:00
  to do it after the online semis.
• 9:01
  So they went right to the bone.
• 9:06
  Wow.
• 9:07
  Yeah.
• 9:09
  How long did they just like,
• 9:10
  they just like numb,
• 9:11
  like the tip of it really.
• 9:12
  Oh,
• 9:13
  and then um yeah with some
• 9:16
  like needling and then I
• 9:17
  watched the whole thing I
• 9:18
  took videos showed it to my
• 9:22
  family but yeah they
• 9:24
  typical hockey player they
• 9:25
  dug in there so hopefully I
• 9:30
  get answers and hopefully
• 9:31
  it gets better at some
• 9:33
  point but yeah it started
• 9:35
  in my hand actually in and
• 9:36
  then I went to the nails
• 9:39
  But it's nowhere else on my body, really.
• 9:42
  Like, not on my toenails,
• 9:43
  not anywhere else.
• 9:44
  So a lot of movements, like,
• 9:46
  hurt my hands.
• 9:47
  Like, rope climbs,
• 9:49
  really sensitive to the
• 9:50
  material of the ropes.
• 9:51
  Like,
• 9:52
  my hands feel like they're burning
• 9:53
  when I do rope climbs.
• 9:56
  And even just, like,
• 9:56
  the pressure exerted on the
• 9:58
  fingertips there, as I'm, like,
• 9:59
  especially doing leg lifts,
• 10:00
  I often have to do many of, like,
• 10:03
  the Wadden Dunn, like,
• 10:04
  their finger tapes on, like,
• 10:05
  all of my hands because it, like,
• 10:07
  burns my skin.
• 10:09
  So just some stuff like that.
• 10:13
  Lots of well wishes in the
• 10:14
  chat for you and from us as well.
• 10:17
  Hopefully you get good answers soon.
• 10:21
  Um, so let's go ahead.
• 10:23
  Um, I was going to talk about,
• 10:24
  I watched Nona's this weekend,
• 10:26
  which is a really nice,
• 10:28
  cute family friendly movie on Netflix.
• 10:31
  If anybody's looking for one, um,
• 10:33
  it's about a guy who
• 10:34
  started a restaurant with
• 10:35
  the concept of hiring
• 10:37
  grandmas to do the cooking.
• 10:39
  So people could feel the
• 10:41
  sense of family and it
• 10:43
  stars Vince Vaughn.
• 10:44
  Um, and it's really good.
• 10:47
  um really nostalgic and
• 10:49
  sentimental if you grew up
• 10:51
  in any kind of family like
• 10:52
  that um really kind of a
• 10:54
  nice watch different
• 10:56
  recommendation than our
• 10:57
  typical reacher and cobra
• 10:59
  kai stuff uh going more
• 11:01
  family friendly with this
• 11:03
  one but uh wfp and it's on
• 11:07
  netflix for free if you
• 11:08
  have netflix um wfp tour event one
• 11:13
  Let's start there.
• 11:14
  It was kind of the big
• 11:15
  curiosity event of the weekend,
• 11:18
  their first ever event.
• 11:19
  What was it going to be like?
• 11:21
  What were we going to see?
• 11:23
  First off, the winners of Tour Event One,
• 11:26
  the podium on the men's
• 11:27
  side was Austin Hatfield first,
• 11:29
  James Brake second, Jason Hopper third.
• 11:33
  on the women's side it was
• 11:34
  alex kazan first danielle
• 11:37
  brandon second amy kringle
• 11:39
  third and the races were
• 11:41
  incredible the leaderboard
• 11:43
  shifted a whole bunch um
• 11:45
  from day two to day three um
• 11:48
  And then we also had two
• 11:49
  withdrawals from the event
• 11:50
  during the event.
• 11:52
  And that was Emily Rolfe due
• 11:53
  to a back injury.
• 11:55
  And Travis Mayer didn't
• 11:57
  really give a reason other
• 11:58
  than his body just needed a break.
• 12:03
  So...
• 12:06
  so that let's get the
• 12:07
  winners out of the way um
• 12:09
  really stoked for alex
• 12:10
  kazan she has been on the
• 12:12
  precipice of like big time
• 12:15
  success and this is her
• 12:16
  first big win um of her
• 12:18
  career uh danielle brandon
• 12:21
  getting a podium finish uh
• 12:22
  pretty impressive
• 12:25
  amy kringle man she's been
• 12:27
  improving a lot over the
• 12:28
  last few years uh so that
• 12:31
  was pretty impressive
• 12:32
  austin hatfield um doubles
• 12:34
  up mayhem to this great
• 12:37
  start to this season for
• 12:38
  him uh james sprague
• 12:41
  He's not going anywhere, people.
• 12:43
  We thought last year was
• 12:44
  because of programming at the games,
• 12:47
  and he won Wadapalooza,
• 12:49
  and now he takes second
• 12:50
  here in a stacked field.
• 12:52
  Pretty freaking amazing.
• 12:53
  And Jason Hopper seems to be
• 12:55
  getting better, too.
• 12:56
  He seems to be getting over
• 12:57
  whatever forced him to
• 13:00
  finish second at the games
• 13:02
  a couple years ago,
• 13:04
  and he's getting some
• 13:05
  pretty impressive finishes
• 13:06
  moving forward.
• 13:10
  will say before we get into
• 13:11
  the nuts and bolts I
• 13:12
  reached out to justin you
• 13:13
  know him and I are friends
• 13:15
  and I texted him and said
• 13:16
  congratulations to you both
• 13:18
  uh very well deserved and
• 13:19
  he is going to come on the
• 13:20
  show this week to let us
• 13:21
  know what it was like there
• 13:24
  for them and their
• 13:25
  experience so later this
• 13:27
  week we'll have justin
• 13:27
  kotler on uh to talk about
• 13:29
  their experience uh at the wfp so good
• 13:37
  let's just hit it right off
• 13:38
  the top pros and cons.
• 13:43
  I felt like, well,
• 13:44
  as good as like once I got
• 13:48
  into the website and was
• 13:50
  able to watch some things,
• 13:53
  the broadcast was good, but I,
• 13:55
  I do not like that format.
• 13:57
  If I'm being completely honest,
• 13:58
  like I just want YouTube
• 14:00
  and I want to be able to
• 14:01
  rewind and I want to be able to find it.
• 14:02
  So what was really hard for me,
• 14:04
  cause you guys would be
• 14:05
  watching and you guys would
• 14:07
  be chatting with me.
• 14:09
  So like, you'll, you'll like message,
• 14:11
  but I'm streaming from my
• 14:13
  phone screencast to my TV.
• 14:16
  That was the only way I could watch it.
• 14:18
  And so I'm like, I'm like, honestly,
• 14:19
  like I almost messaged you back.
• 14:20
  Like,
• 14:21
  how the hell are you guys watching this?
• 14:22
  Cause you keep messaging me, but I can't.
• 14:24
  And then I can't clear it and see it.
• 14:26
  I'm trying to watch on the TV.
• 14:28
  And I'm like, this is so annoying.
• 14:30
  I couldn't do anything for
• 14:32
  three hours on my phone.
• 14:35
  And I've got, like, showings all weekend.
• 14:37
  Like, it was really frustrating.
• 14:38
  That is not the way I want
• 14:40
  to watch a competition.
• 14:43
  You couldn't, like,
• 14:44
  go out of the thingy that's
• 14:45
  still playing on your phone?
• 14:46
  So every time I did that, I would have to,
• 14:50
  like, basically refresh the screen,
• 14:54
  get back into the feed.
• 14:56
  uh,
• 14:57
  open it to the full screen and get it
• 14:59
  back up on my TV.
• 15:00
  It was just,
• 15:01
  it was screencast breaks every
• 15:02
  time you screencast breaks every time.
• 15:05
  Yep.
• 15:07
  Yeah.
• 15:08
  I did not like it.
• 15:09
  Yeah.
• 15:09
  So I watched on a laptop and
• 15:10
  used my work monitors to
• 15:12
  have it up on a bigger screen.
• 15:15
  Um,
• 15:17
  I'll let you guys go I'll
• 15:19
  I'll finish up with my
• 15:20
  thoughts uh I love the
• 15:22
  graphics I like the coming
• 15:24
  out them introducing
• 15:25
  themselves like where
• 15:26
  they're from their country
• 15:28
  um like their little like
• 15:30
  icon that would come up I
• 15:33
  thought the lighting was
• 15:33
  cool I thought the workouts
• 15:35
  were exciting to watch
• 15:38
  Um, the broadcast,
• 15:39
  I love the pre and the post with the,
• 15:42
  the panel that they had
• 15:44
  thought there was some very,
• 15:45
  very good insights there.
• 15:47
  Um, especially from Katrin and Seth.
• 15:50
  I thought they did a
• 15:51
  phenomenal job on the pre and post stuff.
• 15:55
  Um, what else?
• 15:57
  I mean, I liked the races.
• 15:58
  I liked some of the,
• 16:00
  the judging seemed fine there.
• 16:01
  Like I didn't see any like major, like,
• 16:04
  like,
• 16:05
  no rep stuff that was getting, you know,
• 16:08
  let through.
• 16:08
  Yeah.
• 16:08
  So I,
• 16:10
  I feel like they really ran like away
• 16:15
  with just letting athletes
• 16:16
  do what they want to do to
• 16:17
  get the work done.
• 16:18
  I think they're taking that approach.
• 16:20
  Like we saw it with the GHG.
• 16:21
  Like, it's like,
• 16:22
  this is it's A to B do what
• 16:24
  you need to do.
• 16:25
  And,
• 16:25
  and the judges are not going to impact
• 16:27
  the scoring.
• 16:27
  It's these are the workouts.
• 16:30
  These are the movements do it.
• 16:31
  However you need to do it.
• 16:33
  And they're trying to take the,
• 16:35
  the you know like judges
• 16:37
  play out of you know that
• 16:39
  may be causing a win of a
• 16:41
  race um and I don't like I
• 16:43
  get it you want you don't
• 16:44
  want it a race to be won because of a
• 16:48
  miss no rep or somebody
• 16:50
  getting away with something
• 16:51
  that other people aren't.
• 16:52
  So I, I get it.
• 16:53
  But like, like when we watch those GHGs,
• 16:55
  it's frustrating to watch.
• 16:57
  Like, we don't want to see that.
• 16:58
  I would like you to
• 16:59
  implement a standard and hold it.
• 17:01
  And I know that requires judges to hold it,
• 17:03
  but I would rather see that.
• 17:05
  Yeah.
• 17:06
  The GHG is the only movement
• 17:08
  that I just hate right now
• 17:10
  in competition.
• 17:11
  Um,
• 17:12
  Everyone's unbroken.
• 17:14
  What are we testing?
• 17:16
  It's not even a difficult
• 17:17
  movement right now for the elites.
• 17:20
  It's so expensive to bring
• 17:24
  GHD to a competition and that equipment.
• 17:27
  Do we really need it if it's
• 17:29
  going to be this easy for
• 17:29
  the athletes and they're
• 17:31
  going to be moving the way that they are?
• 17:33
  So don't love that movement.
• 17:35
  That's about the only
• 17:36
  movement from the weekend
• 17:37
  that I felt was like, eh.
• 17:40
  they need to take out.
• 17:42
  Um,
• 17:42
  I like the counting down of the rep
• 17:46
  scheme.
• 17:46
  I think it's easier a few times,
• 17:48
  like some of the scores were off,
• 17:50
  but I mean, that always happens.
• 17:51
  But I think for someone that
• 17:53
  doesn't know the sport,
• 17:54
  I think that makes it
• 17:55
  easier to follow because
• 17:56
  you know that where they're
• 17:58
  going to be at zero versus
• 18:00
  when the scores are going up.
• 18:01
  If you've like,
• 18:03
  if you've never followed the sport, um,
• 18:06
  You don't know when they're
• 18:06
  stopping and all that.
• 18:09
  Before you keep going,
• 18:09
  I just want to address the
• 18:12
  GHD issues before you keep going.
• 18:15
  That is major GHD issues but
• 18:18
  don't know what the standards were.
• 18:20
  There were no standards.
• 18:21
  It was touch the pad and
• 18:24
  touch the pad when you came up.
• 18:26
  That was it.
• 18:29
  Similar to a pull-up, just arms extended,
• 18:32
  chin over the bar.
• 18:32
  Do it however you want.
• 18:35
  I understand why they're doing it.
• 18:36
  Like I said,
• 18:36
  they'd want to take judges
• 18:38
  call out of things as much as possible,
• 18:40
  but man, I, it's just bastardizing.
• 18:45
  I think Carolyn makes a
• 18:46
  great point and we should expand on it.
• 18:48
  Maybe on another show,
• 18:49
  it turns the GHD into an,
• 18:51
  an ab mat sit up.
• 18:53
  Yeah.
• 18:54
  I just think no part of the
• 18:55
  back can be on the GHD.
• 18:56
  That would be my rule.
• 18:58
  If a part of the back is on the GHD, um,
• 19:01
  then it's a no rep.
• 19:02
  And it's very easy to see
• 19:03
  the back on the GHD.
• 19:05
  Yeah.
• 19:06
  Yeah.
• 19:09
  I was missing the, what the workout was.
• 19:15
  I wish that graphic would
• 19:16
  have been at the top of the screen.
• 19:18
  Like more often?
• 19:18
  Cause it would,
• 19:19
  it would come and show up sometimes.
• 19:21
  Oh, I never saw it.
• 19:22
  Every time Aaron and I tuned in, like,
• 19:24
  I was like, shit,
• 19:24
  what are they doing here?
• 19:25
  Like, I forget what this workout is.
• 19:27
  And like,
• 19:27
  I'd have to watch a whole heat to know.
• 19:29
  And then I'd be like, okay,
• 19:30
  so that's the workout.
• 19:31
  But like, even the finale, like,
• 19:33
  I did not know, like,
• 19:34
  I don't know how many kills they did.
• 19:36
  And then it was the thirty
• 19:37
  burpees and then the twenty thrusters.
• 19:39
  But I had no idea what they
• 19:40
  did for the kales on the row.
• 19:42
  Was it kales?
• 19:43
  Was it meters?
• 19:43
  I have no idea.
• 19:45
  Kales.
• 19:45
  It was kales?
• 19:46
  Yeah.
• 19:47
  you have an accent when you
• 19:51
  say that they they did put
• 19:53
  up the uh they did put up
• 19:55
  the workout periodically
• 19:56
  but if you missed it yeah I
• 19:57
  get it um but I I think
• 20:00
  they had a lot of graphics
• 20:01
  on the screen at different
• 20:02
  times um but yeah and I'll
• 20:06
  let you guys keep going man
• 20:08
  there's a lot of comments
• 20:12
  What else?
• 20:14
  Lynn's asking as a judge,
• 20:16
  for elite athletes,
• 20:17
  is it possible to judge the hips,
• 20:19
  the hand touching the floor,
• 20:20
  and the pads at the same time?
• 20:23
  It really is.
• 20:25
  It's whatever angle you can
• 20:26
  get on the competition floor, which...
• 20:30
  which hinders or helps a judge.
• 20:32
  And it's based on where the
• 20:33
  competitors and the cameras
• 20:34
  and everything are.
• 20:36
  If you can get a forty five
• 20:37
  degree angle from hips to
• 20:38
  floor and then spin to see
• 20:41
  hips to the pad, you're fine.
• 20:44
  If you don't have that,
• 20:45
  it gets a little bit tougher.
• 20:48
  But I like I like Carolyn's
• 20:49
  thing of back shouldn't touch the pad.
• 20:53
  is easier than looking at the hips.
• 20:57
  I actually, as a judge,
• 20:58
  that would be easier to judge for sure.
• 21:05
  Yeah.
• 21:08
  I liked the lighting.
• 21:09
  I really liked that the
• 21:11
  lighting would turn to
• 21:12
  yellow in the last ten
• 21:13
  seconds and then bam, red.
• 21:14
  I thought that was cool.
• 21:17
  Was there times that it was
• 21:18
  a little dim around?
• 21:20
  I don't know.
• 21:21
  I don't know.
• 21:22
  It was cool.
• 21:23
  They, the lifting,
• 21:25
  the camera seemed like it
• 21:27
  was out the whole time.
• 21:28
  And I was,
• 21:28
  and I was having a hard time
• 21:29
  knowing what was going on
• 21:31
  or if somebody completed a lift.
• 21:33
  Um, but for the most part,
• 21:35
  they didn't just zoom in on
• 21:36
  one athlete and leave it there.
• 21:37
  And all the things that I can't stand,
• 21:39
  they did like,
• 21:40
  they did a pretty good job
• 21:41
  with the broadcasting in my opinion.
• 21:44
  Yeah.
• 21:45
  Just to echo on your
• 21:46
  lighting thing and the lifts,
• 21:48
  I thought the lighting was great.
• 21:50
  I think they should not have
• 21:51
  done the yellow red for the
• 21:53
  lifts because they could
• 21:55
  still complete the lift after the time.
• 21:57
  Yes.
• 21:58
  And like for the three hundred,
• 22:01
  like the light switch just
• 22:02
  as she was popping it.
• 22:04
  And I would hate that that's
• 22:05
  why she missed it.
• 22:07
  I don't know for a fact,
• 22:09
  but if you're going to
• 22:11
  allow them to go past the
• 22:13
  end of time on that event,
• 22:14
  don't do that light change
• 22:16
  for that event.
• 22:18
  Right.
• 22:18
  But it makes sense on
• 22:19
  everything else where red
• 22:21
  hits and everybody's done.
• 22:22
  Right.
• 22:23
  It was crazy how many of the
• 22:26
  men attempted four hundred plus.
• 22:28
  I was like surprised by that.
• 22:31
  Were you guys like I felt
• 22:32
  like there was almost like
• 22:33
  I feel like there was like
• 22:34
  ten athletes in the
• 22:36
  challenger and pro together
• 22:39
  that I think attempted four hundred plus.
• 22:41
  And we were talking about like,
• 22:42
  what's the equivalent for
• 22:44
  the female of the four hundred jerk?
• 22:48
  Like in that two, six,
• 22:50
  the five ish range maybe
• 22:53
  seems to be what would be equivalent.
• 22:56
  Um, when it says five at four hundred,
• 22:58
  I think it was more than that.
• 22:59
  If you count the challenger division,
• 23:01
  the challenger, the Paxos,
• 23:03
  three hundred is it's
• 23:04
  absolutely not three hundred.
• 23:05
  It's not three hundred
• 23:07
  because no woman hit three hundred.
• 23:09
  That's not, that's not an equivalent.
• 23:11
  Right.
• 23:12
  Not in the jerk, not in the jerk.
• 23:13
  I did.
• 23:16
  I strongly disagree that
• 23:17
  it's three hundred.
• 23:21
  don't have ten guys doing
• 23:22
  four hundred and zero girls
• 23:24
  doing like that no we
• 23:25
  talked about this and I
• 23:26
  said maybe crossfit's kind
• 23:28
  of spot on with their
• 23:29
  seventy percent which would
• 23:31
  be two eighty off of the
• 23:34
  four hundred and I I think
• 23:36
  that's probably right about
• 23:37
  right which is why I get so
• 23:39
  frustrated when people try
• 23:40
  to keep pushing the weights
• 23:41
  up for women I think it
• 23:43
  depends I think that the lighter weights
• 23:47
  That's when I think it's
• 23:48
  easier on the females, like that one,
• 23:50
  thirty five, ninety five,
• 23:51
  like ninety five,
• 23:52
  sixty five of like the way
• 23:53
  that females can cycle the
• 23:55
  lighter barbell maybe.
• 23:58
  But at the higher end.
• 23:59
  Of certain lifts, I think it's different.
• 24:04
  But I think the jerk is a shoulder.
• 24:07
  Yeah.
• 24:08
  A different lift than.
• 24:09
  Yeah.
• 24:10
  Than other ones.
• 24:11
  like upper body strength,
• 24:13
  I think will be a little
• 24:14
  bit stronger for the males
• 24:15
  percentage wise.
• 24:16
  On the lighting.
• 24:17
  Those are like sixty seven ish percent.
• 24:20
  So on the lighting,
• 24:21
  Vi and T-Bird ask similar questions.
• 24:24
  I think there will be
• 24:25
  adjustments for lighting.
• 24:26
  I liked it, though.
• 24:27
  The athlete said Will was
• 24:28
  asking for feedback.
• 24:29
  So it will be interesting to
• 24:30
  see how they adjust things
• 24:31
  for the next one.
• 24:32
  I really think the yellow at
• 24:34
  ten seconds is great for an athlete.
• 24:36
  Yeah.
• 24:36
  Now I only have ten seconds
• 24:38
  left and I got a hammer down.
• 24:41
  or hold on.
• 24:42
  I mean, I think that's huge,
• 24:44
  a huge help for the athlete.
• 24:45
  Great.
• 24:51
  Lynn says Will was also
• 24:52
  asking feedback from
• 24:53
  spectators really appreciated that.
• 24:57
  That's great that he's like... I mean,
• 24:59
  there's going to be a lot
• 25:00
  to learn if it's his first
• 25:03
  competition that he's fully
• 25:05
  programmed for at this level.
• 25:08
  So it's good that he's open
• 25:10
  to some feedback and stuff.
• 25:11
  Clearly,
• 25:12
  I think the Spectres definitely
• 25:14
  want that review option for
• 25:19
  the broadcast stuff.
• 25:20
  But other than that, it was pretty...
• 25:25
  Pretty good, like all weekend.
• 25:28
  And the field is great.
• 25:30
  Question for Carolyn and Jamie.
• 25:31
  Do you like the beep start
• 25:33
  or someone saying go?
• 25:35
  I think I like a beep.
• 25:37
  Probably a beep, yeah.
• 25:40
  I thought that was weird
• 25:41
  when I heard go instead of a beep.
• 25:46
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 25:46
  That would be something to get used to.
• 25:50
  How many people were actually there?
• 25:52
  Like,
• 25:52
  do we know how many tickets they sold?
• 25:53
  When every time I saw the stands,
• 25:54
  it did not look very.
• 25:56
  So I'm only going by what a
• 25:59
  Jenny from dense updates
• 26:00
  reported on her story.
• 26:01
  And that was about five
• 26:02
  hundred plus on on Friday
• 26:05
  and over a thousand plus on Saturday.
• 26:08
  um and then I didn't see
• 26:09
  anything for today um so I
• 26:13
  uh that's all I have to go
• 26:15
  by um it was definitely
• 26:18
  more full for the pros than
• 26:20
  the challenger divisions um
• 26:23
  and there were other events
• 26:24
  going on at the same time
• 26:25
  so like how do you count
• 26:27
  that when like the teams
• 26:29
  and the adaptives and all
• 26:30
  that are going on at the
• 26:31
  same time and there's
• 26:33
  people in the building
• 26:34
  maybe just not in the yeah
• 26:38
  in the, in the seats.
• 26:39
  I don't, I don't know.
• 26:39
  So it was good that they did
• 26:41
  some community outreach stuff too,
• 26:43
  prior to the comps.
• 26:44
  It looked like they traded
• 26:45
  the athletes well with like
• 26:47
  the Leatherman jackets, the snack stuff,
• 26:50
  like the snack table.
• 26:51
  Like that's,
• 26:53
  that's something that like a
• 26:53
  lot of the pro sports have,
• 26:55
  like when you compete, you have that,
• 26:57
  like,
• 26:57
  table with a bunch of
• 27:00
  recovery food that's just
• 27:02
  provided um so that was a
• 27:04
  good addition I think for
• 27:05
  the athlete just to have
• 27:06
  access to some of that
• 27:07
  stuff and I'm not sure if
• 27:09
  there was other type of
• 27:10
  recovery things for them
• 27:11
  that was available to make
• 27:13
  it a little bit more like I
• 27:14
  guess pro for the athletes
• 27:16
  um I saw the typical like cold tubs
• 27:20
  Um, I mean, I've,
• 27:22
  I heard over and over again,
• 27:22
  it was the biggest warmup
• 27:24
  cool down area they've ever been in, um,
• 27:29
  which allowed more stuff
• 27:30
  like that to be there.
• 27:32
  But I mean,
• 27:32
  a lot of athletes have their
• 27:33
  own Norma techs and things like that.
• 27:35
  So I know they're trainers too.
• 27:38
  Uh,
• 27:38
  I thought Lauren did some good
• 27:39
  interviews.
• 27:40
  with the athletes.
• 27:42
  Um,
• 27:42
  she was good with some of the questions.
• 27:44
  It was nice to see.
• 27:45
  Um, uh, I mean, they have,
• 27:48
  they have different
• 27:49
  sponsors that we've seen in the space.
• 27:50
  Like Red Bull was there.
• 27:52
  Adidas is a sponsor.
• 27:54
  Um, and like, those haven't really been in,
• 27:57
  uh,
• 27:58
  They've been entering some
• 28:00
  of the athletes in terms of
• 28:02
  contracts this past year or
• 28:03
  two a little bit more,
• 28:04
  but to see them involved in
• 28:06
  major competitions,
• 28:08
  that's the only way that
• 28:09
  this can be sustainable is
• 28:11
  if these major sponsors are
• 28:14
  involved because the
• 28:16
  tickets are not right now
• 28:18
  that wouldn't sustain a
• 28:20
  continuation of this league
• 28:21
  for many years to come.
• 28:23
  So you need those new
• 28:25
  sponsors to kind of enter
• 28:26
  the space that have more
• 28:28
  money and more resources.
• 28:34
  How are they tracking the
• 28:36
  viewership on this website?
• 28:39
  I'm sure they can.
• 28:41
  They're using an app just like YouTube.
• 28:44
  It's just something that's a
• 28:46
  lot more closed than open like YouTube.
• 28:50
  Man,
• 28:50
  they've got to find something different.
• 28:53
  I like do a twenty dollars
• 28:55
  like I think this is part
• 28:56
  of the problem like you
• 28:57
  it's not gonna be a huge
• 28:59
  in-person thing that's just
• 29:00
  not it's just not what
• 29:02
  people do charge for the
• 29:03
  stream like rogue I would
• 29:05
  pay for that like I would a
• 29:06
  hundred percent you know if
• 29:08
  it wasn't like crazy
• 29:09
  expensive like I think they
• 29:10
  could easily make money if
• 29:11
  they charge even like a
• 29:12
  five ninety nine people
• 29:13
  would pay like if they if
• 29:15
  they go like twenty five
• 29:16
  thirty forty bucks like I
• 29:17
  think people like
• 29:18
  that the true fans will pay
• 29:20
  but if they just charge
• 29:21
  like something small enough
• 29:23
  that like it's like oh I
• 29:24
  guess I could just pay that
• 29:25
  you know it's a coffee or
• 29:26
  something people will pay
• 29:27
  it and that's like revenue
• 29:30
  and if it's going to mean
• 29:31
  that the broadcast is going
• 29:32
  to be of great quality just
• 29:34
  like we've seen it's a pre
• 29:35
  the post all of that I
• 29:38
  think they could easily you
• 29:40
  know have a little bit of a
• 29:42
  not on this website
• 29:43
  business that was so so hard to watch
• 29:47
  But I think if you don't, like,
• 29:48
  I didn't even know that where,
• 29:50
  where to find it at first.
• 29:51
  Like,
• 29:52
  like I didn't know it was on the website.
• 29:54
  So like, I'm like looking on YouTube, like,
• 29:55
  Oh, like when is it going to pop up?
• 29:57
  Um,
• 29:58
  like if you don't follow that Instagram
• 30:00
  account, like, or like this,
• 30:03
  you're not getting, you're,
• 30:05
  you're missing a big group
• 30:06
  of people that like won't
• 30:07
  fall into that leaderboard and just like,
• 30:09
  or that website and just
• 30:10
  start watching it.
• 30:11
  Like, yes.
• 30:12
  If it was on YouTube.
• 30:15
  Um,
• 30:18
  that's, that's my biggest complaint is,
• 30:20
  is it's not on YouTube.
• 30:21
  I,
• 30:22
  and I don't really care that it's
• 30:24
  YouTube.
• 30:24
  I,
• 30:25
  I do think they're missing out on the
• 30:27
  accidental find, um,
• 30:29
  by not being on YouTube,
• 30:31
  but I hate that there's no rewind,
• 30:34
  no pause.
• 30:35
  It made it so I couldn't get up,
• 30:36
  do a chore,
• 30:37
  come back and then start from
• 30:39
  where I left off.
• 30:40
  Um,
• 30:40
  which I do a lot on these events when
• 30:42
  I'm trying to cover,
• 30:43
  especially two events in
• 30:44
  the same weekend.
• 30:46
  Um,
• 30:48
  And they're missing out on,
• 30:50
  and I know that some people don't get it,
• 30:54
  but the chat, people come just to chat.
• 30:57
  Whether they like your event or not,
• 30:59
  it is viewers and eyeballs
• 31:01
  that you would not get otherwise.
• 31:03
  And not having a chat is tough.
• 31:07
  And I think they're missing out on that.
• 31:10
  And I hope it's not because
• 31:11
  they're afraid of what
• 31:11
  people are going to say,
• 31:13
  because that's how you get feedback.
• 31:15
  And you can either take it or leave it,
• 31:16
  but that's how you get feedback.
• 31:19
  A lot of content though, all weekend,
• 31:21
  great content, like on Instagram,
• 31:24
  great reels, great videos like that.
• 31:27
  I think there's definitely a lot,
• 31:28
  a lot more positives than the negatives.
• 31:31
  And there's some like small
• 31:33
  stuff that they can improve
• 31:34
  on going forward.
• 31:36
  but I thought it was a great
• 31:37
  success and it was, it was exciting.
• 31:39
  And the fact that it's a
• 31:40
  tour and the story is only beginning,
• 31:43
  I think is pretty cool
• 31:45
  because these points carry
• 31:47
  over and all of these
• 31:47
  placings mattered in the big like picture,
• 31:52
  the challenger points matter,
• 31:53
  the pro points matter.
• 31:54
  Yeah, that'd be cool.
• 31:57
  So these are my thoughts of
• 32:00
  my pros and cons.
• 32:01
  And I'm going to say this,
• 32:02
  I have been barking up a
• 32:03
  tree that CrossFit needs to do better.
• 32:06
  For the past,
• 32:08
  since probably two thousand seventeen,
• 32:11
  I've been wanting them to
• 32:12
  do a better job on their season structure,
• 32:15
  on how people get to the games,
• 32:17
  on programming,
• 32:18
  different things like that.
• 32:20
  So this is WFP's first event.
• 32:23
  And I've given CrossFit
• 32:25
  grace for so many years to
• 32:27
  come in and just blast them
• 32:28
  on the first event would be
• 32:30
  would be unfair of me to do that.
• 32:34
  But I don't even know if
• 32:36
  there's much to blast them on.
• 32:38
  I really loved watching that
• 32:39
  event this weekend.
• 32:41
  I thought it was as good a
• 32:42
  quality as Rogue.
• 32:45
  They used the same lighting as Rogue.
• 32:48
  Nobody dogged Rogue for that lighting,
• 32:50
  but people are dogging WFP for it.
• 32:52
  I think that is bananas.
• 32:55
  I thought it was awesome.
• 32:56
  I thought if I were to critique things,
• 33:01
  it's just things were so good,
• 33:03
  you need more of it.
• 33:05
  Amy Bream was sensational.
• 33:08
  She needs to be on camera more.
• 33:10
  She needs to be moved up to
• 33:11
  the big leagues.
• 33:13
  Lauren Smith was great too,
• 33:15
  but give her a break.
• 33:16
  Let her take a break during
• 33:17
  the day and let Amy Bream
• 33:18
  do a couple of those interviews.
• 33:22
  Katrin was phenomenal.
• 33:25
  I have never been a Katrin
• 33:26
  fan in my whole entire life.
• 33:28
  I want more of Katrin.
• 33:30
  She was fantastic on the desk show.
• 33:33
  Seth.
• 33:33
  Amazing.
• 33:34
  I love amazing.
• 33:37
  The two of them together and
• 33:38
  the way they were arguing back and forth,
• 33:40
  especially today after they got into it.
• 33:42
  Like I thought that was awesome.
• 33:45
  That's as good of a desk
• 33:46
  showing pair as we've ever seen.
• 33:48
  Okay.
• 33:51
  Now, the other two, they were fine.
• 33:53
  Nothing to write home about.
• 33:56
  But the other two were awesome.
• 34:01
  I thought the broadcast was fine.
• 34:05
  I think Gabby has not had
• 34:08
  enough experience in
• 34:09
  broadcasting to be doing
• 34:11
  this big of an event.
• 34:12
  I agree.
• 34:14
  I think that Jeremy Austin is a pro.
• 34:19
  Tommy is Tommy.
• 34:20
  You're going to get the same
• 34:21
  Tommy you always get.
• 34:23
  I just wish they would have
• 34:24
  broken up him during the
• 34:26
  weekend and just given
• 34:27
  another voice at times.
• 34:29
  If you're listening for hours straight,
• 34:31
  how about a couple more
• 34:33
  voices in there and give
• 34:35
  some other people like I
• 34:37
  would say my co-host Carolyn Prevo.
• 34:40
  Did you see her on the desk
• 34:41
  last year at Rogue?
• 34:43
  She is a CrossFit geek.
• 34:45
  She watches more CrossFit
• 34:46
  than any other athlete in the space.
• 34:48
  She's a three times CrossFit
• 34:49
  Games athlete.
• 34:50
  She should be given an
• 34:51
  opportunity to be an
• 34:53
  analyst in the sport.
• 34:56
  Just my two cents.
• 34:59
  In addition to that,
• 35:00
  the graphics were awesome.
• 35:02
  I loved the Monday Night Football.
• 35:04
  Hey, I'm Alex Kazan.
• 35:06
  I'm from Las Vegas.
• 35:08
  And maybe they'll get cute
• 35:09
  with it in the future and
• 35:11
  they do the Monday Night Football stuff.
• 35:13
  I thought it was awesome.
• 35:14
  And the meme that someone
• 35:15
  made where they then put
• 35:18
  the Key and Peele name
• 35:21
  thing right after an
• 35:23
  athlete doing it was awesome.
• 35:25
  If you've never seen it, go see it.
• 35:26
  Fantastic.
• 35:28
  I agree with what Andrew said here.
• 35:31
  It's tough with three people
• 35:32
  in the booth because you
• 35:33
  don't want to interrupt and
• 35:36
  you're kind of waiting for
• 35:37
  your spots to speak and
• 35:40
  maybe talk about the
• 35:41
  programming and how you would feel.
• 35:45
  So maybe Gabby was scared to like...
• 35:49
  over overstep but I felt
• 35:51
  like she just understepped
• 35:53
  she just didn't say much
• 35:54
  and I think I think you
• 35:56
  said it in our chat we're
• 35:57
  spoiled by like lucy lucy
• 35:59
  campbell is so good like
• 36:01
  that's who you want that's
• 36:02
  what you want when an
• 36:03
  athlete gets in there the
• 36:04
  best parts of gabby were
• 36:06
  when she corrected the
• 36:07
  others when they would say
• 36:09
  this is the strategy you
• 36:10
  want to take and she's like
• 36:11
  no you don't and like
• 36:13
  that's the best part but
• 36:14
  she just didn't talk enough
• 36:15
  and she didn't
• 36:17
  You could tell she wasn't
• 36:18
  comfortable in that position.
• 36:20
  And that's fine.
• 36:21
  And it's not her first language too,
• 36:23
  right?
• 36:23
  So sometimes you could see
• 36:25
  that she was searching her
• 36:26
  words a little bit more.
• 36:27
  You know,
• 36:30
  she's not as much in North
• 36:32
  America right now,
• 36:33
  like where she was training,
• 36:34
  where she's speaking
• 36:35
  English like every day.
• 36:36
  I'm sure she's speaking her
• 36:38
  native language a lot more.
• 36:39
  So sometimes, you know,
• 36:41
  it could be that it's not as...
• 36:44
  like flowy to,
• 36:46
  to say what you want to say.
• 36:48
  Yeah.
• 36:50
  And Lynn says like Gabby in
• 36:51
  person also said she's now
• 36:53
  finding her stride,
• 36:54
  getting more confident.
• 36:55
  So she'll be better later.
• 36:57
  I'm sure she will.
• 36:58
  It just, it was her first time out.
• 37:00
  I still think though,
• 37:01
  you need a breakup of the,
• 37:02
  of what you're hearing
• 37:04
  sound wise throughout the yeah.
• 37:07
  And this was noticeable.
• 37:08
  Gabby's not going to talk about Laura.
• 37:12
  She did it one event.
• 37:15
  And she went pretty hard.
• 37:18
  But that was just one event.
• 37:20
  It would be like the leaders
• 37:21
  are in lane one and two
• 37:23
  versus like saying the name.
• 37:25
  Or I wonder if this athlete
• 37:26
  is going to pick it up now and give,
• 37:28
  you know, the leader a race,
• 37:30
  the leader being like Laura
• 37:31
  in that position and being
• 37:33
  like basically like rooting.
• 37:36
  It felt like the other one
• 37:37
  to challenge her.
• 37:38
  Yeah.
• 37:40
  Yeah.
• 37:41
  And the last thing I'm going
• 37:41
  to say is kind of echoing on, on,
• 37:43
  on what Carolyn said is I liked it.
• 37:45
  They allowed Red Bull to put
• 37:47
  their big logo inflatable
• 37:50
  stuff on the field.
• 37:52
  You have to find ways of
• 37:54
  revenue stream and not just
• 37:56
  be like a banner hanging over a fence.
• 38:01
  Um,
• 38:03
  And I liked that they used
• 38:04
  the inflatable arch during the run.
• 38:06
  They used the inflatable
• 38:08
  cans when the people came
• 38:09
  out onto the floor.
• 38:11
  And you have to find ways
• 38:12
  for revenue stream.
• 38:14
  And I thought that was awesome.
• 38:16
  And then I talked to Yousef,
• 38:17
  who is our photographer,
• 38:18
  videographer there at the spot for media.
• 38:22
  The media pits were awesome.
• 38:24
  The media room was taken care of.
• 38:27
  And WFP made sure it was a
• 38:29
  secured room with a code.
• 38:31
  so that people couldn't go
• 38:32
  in and steal camera equipment.
• 38:33
  That's great.
• 38:35
  Isn't that awesome?
• 38:36
  Yes.
• 38:38
  Um,
• 38:39
  and so he said it was an awesome
• 38:41
  experience for the media.
• 38:43
  Um, much,
• 38:44
  much different than other places.
• 38:46
  And he really, really enjoyed it.
• 38:48
  So, um,
• 38:50
  and then Jenny comes and says the
• 38:52
  door was open all day.
• 38:53
  Well, well, the thought was there.
• 38:56
  Yeah.
• 39:00
  Um,
• 39:01
  Like as an athlete,
• 39:02
  it made me want to try and do it.
• 39:05
  Right.
• 39:05
  And yeah, be like, Oh,
• 39:07
  like I want to do the, the qualifying.
• 39:09
  Like I, I didn't like, I did the part,
• 39:11
  but I didn't do it.
• 39:12
  Cause I knew I was getting my, um,
• 39:15
  this thing this week, the biopsy.
• 39:17
  So I didn't end up posting on my stuff,
• 39:19
  but now I'm like, okay,
• 39:20
  let me try to go for the second one.
• 39:22
  Cause that seemed fun.
• 39:25
  Yeah.
• 39:25
  You could tell the athletes
• 39:26
  were enjoying themselves for sure.
• 39:31
  If my wife didn't have the knee surgery,
• 39:32
  I would have been there
• 39:33
  this weekend for sure.
• 39:36
  And I'm sad I missed it
• 39:37
  because it really looked cool.
• 39:39
  And I miss seeing some of those athletes,
• 39:41
  right?
• 39:42
  They're not in the CrossFit Games season.
• 39:43
  So it was nice to see some
• 39:45
  of them competing again
• 39:47
  this year because we hadn't
• 39:48
  seen them compete in a
• 39:49
  while against each other.
• 39:50
  And having that field was...
• 39:54
  competitive like a lot
• 39:56
  especially a lot of the
• 39:57
  europeans that you know
• 39:58
  stepped away this season uh
• 40:01
  we got to see them even
• 40:02
  athletes like pat we
• 40:03
  haven't seen in a while um
• 40:04
  he obviously didn't have a
• 40:05
  great competition but um it
• 40:09
  was just nice to see this
• 40:11
  field of athletes competing
• 40:12
  in person it's been you
• 40:15
  know a while since we've
• 40:16
  had a high-end competition
• 40:18
  like mayhem was good but I
• 40:19
  mean it wasn't like the
• 40:21
  deepness of this field
• 40:24
  And I did like the Challenger division.
• 40:28
  I did too.
• 40:29
  I am a geek and I want to
• 40:31
  see the up-and-coming
• 40:31
  athletes and what they're doing.
• 40:34
  And it was a way for me to do that.
• 40:35
  And I did enjoy it.
• 40:39
  The more I watched this weekend,
• 40:41
  the more frustrated I got with it.
• 40:45
  I still think it's incredibly flawed.
• 40:47
  I still think...
• 40:51
  I actually feel like it gives less,
• 40:59
  like you're trying to
• 41:00
  create some excitement
• 41:01
  around this pro card and I
• 41:03
  think the way it's set up
• 41:04
  is less exciting.
• 41:08
  Because they're doing different workouts,
• 41:10
  like different weights.
• 41:11
  Is that why there's no comparison?
• 41:13
  Because there's no comparison.
• 41:15
  They're in a different, different workout.
• 41:17
  It's going to take until the,
• 41:20
  it's going to take until
• 41:21
  Copenhagen to even get a sense of like,
• 41:25
  other than fee and Colton right now,
• 41:30
  It's like you're about
• 41:32
  ninety five percent sure
• 41:33
  Fee and Colton will
• 41:34
  probably get their pro card.
• 41:36
  So you can kind of like watch them unfold.
• 41:38
  Other than that,
• 41:40
  it is pretty unlikely
• 41:42
  anyone else is going to be
• 41:43
  able to get one.
• 41:44
  And you will have to wait
• 41:45
  until Copenhagen to even
• 41:46
  have that conversation.
• 41:48
  I disagree.
• 41:49
  There's going to be a lot
• 41:50
  more than those two that get a pro card.
• 41:54
  A lot more.
• 41:55
  It's just hard for the
• 41:56
  challengers to qualify twice in a row.
• 41:58
  Exactly.
• 41:59
  Like that part is hard,
• 42:00
  but some of them put
• 42:01
  themselves in a position
• 42:03
  this weekend that I feel
• 42:04
  may have enough points to
• 42:06
  possibly get invited.
• 42:08
  But you have to bank on the
• 42:15
  pro athletes not getting
• 42:17
  into the top twenty of the next one.
• 42:19
  Like if you don't make the next one.
• 42:21
  Because if you have certain
• 42:23
  non-carded athletes get
• 42:26
  into the top ten and you
• 42:28
  didn't qualify for your
• 42:29
  second qualifier to make it pro,
• 42:30
  it's going to be tough.
• 42:32
  You have to hope that these
• 42:33
  new athletes that will make
• 42:35
  the next round aren't in the top ten.
• 42:40
  But it shouldn't be easy for
• 42:41
  challengers to get up in there.
• 42:43
  It, it isn't.
• 42:44
  Some of those pros did not belong.
• 42:47
  Exactly.
• 42:48
  It's year one.
• 42:48
  It's year one.
• 42:49
  When we're talking year three,
• 42:51
  it's going to be.
• 42:56
  Well, okay.
• 42:59
  But nobody, what are we doing?
• 43:02
  But this is a,
• 43:03
  this is a system that has
• 43:04
  been worked in other sports that
• 43:07
  for years,
• 43:09
  you have to earn your right up
• 43:11
  to the pro division to play.
• 43:14
  And I'm okay with that.
• 43:17
  I, I think honestly, like,
• 43:20
  I think they should have, it should be.
• 43:21
  And I bet you five,
• 43:24
  five men challengers take
• 43:26
  pro cards this year.
• 43:28
  I could see.
• 43:29
  I think we had done picked a
• 43:31
  number a few weeks ago.
• 43:33
  Like, I'm not saying we won't get, uh,
• 43:35
  four or five turnovers.
• 43:37
  I'm saying right now,
• 43:39
  you really can only look at
• 43:40
  fee and Colton and say, this is,
• 43:42
  this is what's happening.
• 43:44
  And so there's not like,
• 43:45
  had this been like,
• 43:46
  had they just invited people like,
• 43:48
  like you have your pros and
• 43:50
  have your challengers and
• 43:52
  they all go together.
• 43:53
  And then you, and then, you know,
• 43:57
  know you had a qualifier ten
• 43:59
  people got to go ten people
• 44:01
  earned their right to go
• 44:02
  and twenty people got to go
• 44:04
  earn got earned the right
• 44:05
  to go get some points so if
• 44:07
  they make it the next time
• 44:07
  they're not in a they're
• 44:09
  not so far in a hole they
• 44:10
  can't make it to like tutor
• 44:13
  and tie would have beat
• 44:16
  velner and it doesn't matter
• 44:18
  travis here's what's going
• 44:21
  to happen I can tell you
• 44:22
  exactly what's going to
• 44:23
  happen like syndicate we're
• 44:24
  going to expand the field
• 44:25
  and add more people to it
• 44:27
  because we feel sorry for
• 44:28
  them forty instead of fifty
• 44:32
  four heats instead of five
• 44:36
  what is it here's what's
• 44:37
  going to happen like
• 44:38
  somebody like tutor is
• 44:39
  going to get first in the
• 44:40
  challenger division three
• 44:41
  times and velner is going
• 44:43
  to get in the qualifier
• 44:46
  that's ridiculous well this
• 44:47
  danny camacho shouldn't
• 44:48
  have taken one of the spots
• 44:49
  then he couldn't he
• 44:50
  couldn't even perform like
• 44:52
  he just took a thirtieth
• 44:54
  from ty or tudor who could
• 44:56
  have been probably top twenty in the pro
• 45:00
  The dollar's going to show
• 45:01
  up in Copenhagen,
• 45:03
  finally peaked because it's worth double,
• 45:05
  and he's going to get fifteenth place,
• 45:06
  and he's going to beat
• 45:07
  everyone that was below him,
• 45:08
  everyone on these challengers.
• 45:10
  He's going to.
• 45:12
  He's going to get eight
• 45:13
  hundred points in the final
• 45:15
  event because it's worth double,
• 45:16
  and these people who are getting first,
• 45:18
  who probably could have
• 45:19
  beat him all along,
• 45:20
  It won't matter because the
• 45:21
  final is worth double.
• 45:23
  And that's when he's going to peak.
• 45:25
  I don't like that.
• 45:25
  It's not like merit based right now.
• 45:28
  It should have been one
• 45:29
  through twenty got this
• 45:30
  much money and show up and
• 45:32
  actually earn your money
• 45:33
  here at the event.
• 45:35
  Well,
• 45:36
  just because it's like what I mean by
• 45:38
  don't belong there is like
• 45:39
  some of them are showing up
• 45:40
  like pretty injured and or
• 45:42
  like can't really push the events.
• 45:44
  Yeah.
• 45:45
  Right.
• 45:45
  Like like obviously their
• 45:47
  their past experiences or
• 45:48
  past placements have, you know,
• 45:51
  earned them that spot for
• 45:53
  for this particular pro division.
• 45:57
  but the fact that they can
• 45:59
  just show up and finish last with just,
• 46:01
  you know,
• 46:02
  waving at the crowd and just doing,
• 46:04
  you know, here and there, some movements.
• 46:08
  I just don't love that.
• 46:09
  You had to establish,
• 46:11
  you had to get why they're doing it.
• 46:12
  Like they're getting paid and like,
• 46:14
  You had to establish a
• 46:15
  twenty for the system to work.
• 46:18
  It's been used in tennis.
• 46:20
  It's been used in golf.
• 46:21
  It can be used here.
• 46:23
  You had to set a twenty up.
• 46:26
  This will correct itself soon.
• 46:28
  Bethany is not going to make
• 46:30
  it to get another pro card.
• 46:32
  And that's not going to be an issue.
• 46:33
  And you can't prevent injury.
• 46:35
  Camacho came in with a torn labrum.
• 46:38
  I understand.
• 46:38
  And he just tried to suck it
• 46:39
  up and get through it.
• 46:40
  You can't.
• 46:42
  Yeah,
• 46:42
  so he just took someone's spot who
• 46:44
  probably- He got hurt.
• 46:47
  That happens in sports.
• 46:48
  I understand,
• 46:49
  but we're not a billion
• 46:50
  dollar industry that can
• 46:51
  just trade people who had a
• 46:53
  million dollar contract and
• 46:55
  bring someone else in.
• 46:56
  Someone's going to beat him
• 46:56
  in the qualifier.
• 46:59
  So then we're just honoring
• 47:00
  people who might cheat online.
• 47:02
  If that's the only way to
• 47:03
  get there is to start
• 47:05
  cutting corners online just to get there-
• 47:08
  Like in person is what
• 47:10
  matters and it should be
• 47:12
  paid out at the competition.
• 47:14
  Here's the thing.
• 47:15
  I get what you guys are
• 47:16
  saying and I understand why
• 47:17
  they're trying to do it
• 47:17
  because it's for the
• 47:18
  athletes and we don't want
• 47:19
  to make the athletes kill
• 47:20
  themselves for nine months of the year.
• 47:23
  The problem is you are
• 47:25
  requiring these challengers
• 47:27
  to be in peak performance
• 47:29
  for nine months of the year.
• 47:31
  And the pros just get to
• 47:33
  skate by and show up in
• 47:35
  peak performance in Copenhagen.
• 47:38
  It's ridiculous.
• 47:39
  Just technically for the
• 47:40
  first year and then they'll lose it.
• 47:42
  But even then, yeah,
• 47:43
  the challengers always have
• 47:45
  to be on because they're
• 47:45
  trying to challenge.
• 47:47
  Oh, you have to do the count.
• 47:48
  You have to get it.
• 47:49
  It's the qualifying twice in a row.
• 47:51
  That's tough for those ten
• 47:53
  spots like that.
• 47:57
  Once we're three or three
• 47:58
  years down the road and
• 47:59
  it's an established top twenty.
• 48:02
  You should have to earn your way in.
• 48:04
  It shouldn't be easy to just
• 48:06
  go in and beat them at a competition.
• 48:09
  You should have to earn your
• 48:10
  right to take them on.
• 48:16
  Like, I almost feel like,
• 48:17
  what if like every time
• 48:18
  that you do a competition,
• 48:20
  those get the pro card for the next one.
• 48:22
  That's what, that's what I'm saying.
• 48:23
  It should be four people
• 48:24
  were on the floor.
• 48:25
  Here's your.
• 48:25
  And it, you got paid out this first comp,
• 48:28
  you got to keep it maybe.
• 48:30
  And then.
• 48:33
  They're blowing money on
• 48:35
  this thing that it's not sustainable.
• 48:37
  You're just giving money away.
• 48:38
  How do we know it's not sustainable?
• 48:40
  I don't know their finances.
• 48:43
  Who are we to say what's
• 48:44
  sustainable and not?
• 48:46
  They're the ones putting
• 48:47
  together the budget.
• 48:48
  They're the ones getting the sponsors.
• 48:49
  They're the ones paying out the stuff.
• 48:51
  We have no idea if they're
• 48:54
  sustainable or not because
• 48:54
  we can't see the books.
• 48:58
  CrossFit's told us they've lost money,
• 49:00
  but none of us have seen the books.
• 49:01
  We just have to take them at their word.
• 49:04
  Well, this is throwing money away.
• 49:07
  Like, this is beyond.
• 49:10
  How do you know how much they took in?
• 49:17
  Yeah, like,
• 49:17
  I don't know what Red Bull paid
• 49:18
  and what Adidas paid.
• 49:19
  I don't know what those
• 49:21
  companies put in there.
• 49:23
  Tell me what was exciting to
• 49:25
  watch about Pat Vellner on
• 49:26
  the floor this weekend,
• 49:27
  or even Laura Horvath, or...
• 49:30
  Like, well,
• 49:31
  if you're telling me you needed
• 49:33
  to bring those names in,
• 49:34
  someone like Laura Horvath,
• 49:35
  because she's a crowd drawer,
• 49:37
  tell me what was exciting
• 49:38
  to watch about her this weekend.
• 49:42
  I like watching Laura.
• 49:43
  Let me rephrase this.
• 49:45
  A year ago, you have to pick a top twenty.
• 49:47
  They shouldn't have done that this year.
• 49:49
  You have to.
• 49:50
  No, I don't.
• 49:51
  You have to establish the setup.
• 49:53
  They don't have to, they could say,
• 49:55
  we're going to, we're going to bring you,
• 49:57
  we're going to do an online
• 49:58
  qualifier and top four to
• 49:59
  your coming in and top are
• 50:00
  going to be our, our,
• 50:02
  our pros for this year.
• 50:03
  We're going to finish ninth.
• 50:07
  And she, she had a bad weekend.
• 50:09
  She executed a little bit better.
• 50:13
  She didn't finish thirtieth.
• 50:15
  No, no, no.
• 50:17
  Laura is way... There's no question.
• 50:20
  Laura is one of the best in the world.
• 50:22
  So that does get me excited.
• 50:24
  And the fact that she lost
• 50:25
  also gets me excited to see
• 50:27
  the battle now to try to
• 50:28
  come back with the tours,
• 50:31
  try to get that...
• 50:34
  final leaderboard points
• 50:35
  like the one there the
• 50:37
  story now is can laura get
• 50:38
  her shit together for the
• 50:39
  next one can like now there
• 50:42
  are different stories it's
• 50:44
  a different type of a
• 50:44
  season it's something you
• 50:46
  can follow and I'm not I'm
• 50:50
  not here to bang their drum
• 50:52
  I'm because I just wanted I
• 50:54
  want crossfit to learn I
• 50:56
  want crossfit to get better
• 50:58
  I want crossfit to have a better season
• 51:01
  But if these guys do it
• 51:03
  better and do it right,
• 51:04
  why should I bash them for that?
• 51:09
  I don't know.
• 51:09
  I know what Clooney's is telling me.
• 51:11
  I don't understand this.
• 51:13
  Explain yourself.
• 51:14
  Like, I mean, the, you, I don't,
• 51:25
  we'll see.
• 51:25
  We'll see what happens when
• 51:27
  Copenhagen comes around and
• 51:28
  where the points stand.
• 51:34
  Yeah.
• 51:35
  I mean, there's a lot of storylines.
• 51:36
  I like that.
• 51:37
  I like that there's a
• 51:38
  continuation that the
• 51:39
  points at least matter that
• 51:43
  like people are going to
• 51:46
  have to fight to get their top twenty and
• 51:50
  Someone like Laura and Adler
• 51:51
  are not in the lead right now,
• 51:52
  and we all expected them to be.
• 51:55
  I feel like that's exciting to me.
• 51:57
  I did expect Adler to... I mean,
• 52:00
  he looked phenomenal,
• 52:02
  especially day one and two.
• 52:05
  I was surprised he finished fourth,
• 52:08
  honestly.
• 52:08
  But...
• 52:12
  once again, it doesn't matter so much.
• 52:14
  Like,
• 52:15
  I think if their payout was tied to their,
• 52:19
  and I guess I don't know this,
• 52:21
  like if they have a thirty
• 52:22
  thousand dollar contract,
• 52:24
  does that payout come from
• 52:27
  their placement here and
• 52:29
  then they can keep earning more?
• 52:31
  So it's my understanding
• 52:33
  that they signed a contract
• 52:34
  for X dollars.
• 52:34
  I don't know what that dollars is.
• 52:36
  Not privy to that information.
• 52:38
  They then earn money here.
• 52:41
  Like what?
• 52:42
  First place got thirty grand.
• 52:43
  Yeah.
• 52:44
  So that goes against the
• 52:47
  contract you already signed.
• 52:48
  Once you hit your contract amount,
• 52:51
  anything above that,
• 52:52
  you get to earn an addition to.
• 52:54
  So like if you got a thirty
• 52:56
  thousand dollar contract
• 52:57
  and you got first here and
• 52:58
  you won your thirty thousand,
• 52:59
  when you show up next week,
• 53:01
  next tour and you get second,
• 53:04
  you just get paid twenty eight thousand.
• 53:10
  No,
• 53:10
  like if your contract with the WFP was
• 53:13
  ten grand for the year,
• 53:16
  they gave you ten grand to
• 53:17
  sign up as an athlete.
• 53:19
  If you would have won this
• 53:20
  weekend and won thirty grand,
• 53:22
  you would get twenty grand
• 53:24
  on top of the ten they already gave you.
• 53:27
  Right.
• 53:28
  Then if you go to Mesa,
• 53:30
  then you would get all of
• 53:31
  whatever you earned there.
• 53:32
  Right.
• 53:33
  You don't get your ten plus
• 53:34
  your thirty here.
• 53:37
  I don't believe so,
• 53:38
  but I'm supposed to have
• 53:41
  Saxon or Will on.
• 53:42
  It's a question I can ask them.
• 53:51
  I mean,
• 53:53
  it honestly depends on what some of
• 53:55
  these people's contracts were for.
• 54:00
  I just, I would have rather that there,
• 54:02
  I understand, like,
• 54:03
  I understand what you're
• 54:04
  saying with the contracts.
• 54:04
  I just, the payout should just be, again,
• 54:07
  it should always be merit-based and like,
• 54:09
  you need to show up that
• 54:10
  weekend and do it.
• 54:11
  That's how you get your money.
• 54:12
  But other sports don't do that.
• 54:13
  We're not a billion dollar
• 54:15
  industry to just give out
• 54:16
  million dollar contracts to people.
• 54:17
  But it's not our money to
• 54:18
  say what they can do with it.
• 54:20
  Earn it at the event.
• 54:22
  That's going to make people
• 54:23
  show up and do well.
• 54:25
  Earn it.
• 54:28
  I guess the back to that is like,
• 54:29
  there's people on contracts
• 54:31
  and professional sports
• 54:32
  that don't play to their
• 54:33
  contract of what they're actually worth.
• 54:35
  Like there's NFL players or
• 54:37
  hockey players or NBA
• 54:38
  players that people paid, you know,
• 54:41
  multiple million dollar
• 54:43
  contracts and they have
• 54:45
  zero points and all of a
• 54:45
  sudden they're bench.
• 54:46
  And it's just like,
• 54:47
  you kind of took a chance on that player.
• 54:49
  So I see that part of it as well.
• 54:52
  That just like secured money
• 54:54
  of a contract for that year.
• 54:57
  And sometimes... If you have
• 54:59
  the money to do it, it makes sense.
• 55:01
  But also on those sports teams,
• 55:03
  if you suck, you're getting traded.
• 55:05
  And you're getting...
• 55:07
  They're bringing someone else in.
• 55:08
  We can't do that.
• 55:11
  But it's not our money to
• 55:12
  tell them whether they can
• 55:13
  pay them or not.
• 55:18
  It's like the Yankees back
• 55:19
  in the day would just pay
• 55:20
  for every great player.
• 55:22
  Well,
• 55:22
  we couldn't tell George Steinbrenner
• 55:24
  not to just...
• 55:25
  pay for everybody,
• 55:26
  and lose money to win the World Series.
• 55:29
  That's his money.
• 55:30
  He can do with it as he pleases.
• 55:33
  I don't think we have a
• 55:33
  George Steinbrenner in the midst here,
• 55:36
  but maybe we do.
• 55:38
  Maybe they can keep it going
• 55:39
  for years and years and
• 55:40
  keep floating these people's lifestyles.
• 55:46
  Ken Walter says, Scott,
• 55:47
  say you love the WFP format
• 55:48
  already without saying you
• 55:49
  love the WFP format already.
• 55:52
  This is what I love, Ken.
• 55:54
  I can explain the season.
• 55:57
  I can tell you tour one,
• 55:59
  tour two championship.
• 56:02
  What's happening in CrossFit
• 56:04
  and this year it's getting
• 56:05
  and we can jump to that soon.
• 56:08
  People are expanding the
• 56:10
  fields last minute.
• 56:12
  People are sending out
• 56:14
  invites to whoever missed
• 56:15
  their opportunity.
• 56:17
  Hey,
• 56:17
  let's give you another one just
• 56:18
  because we feel bad for you.
• 56:21
  I think that crap that's
• 56:22
  happening in CrossFit is
• 56:24
  making it less of a fair
• 56:27
  playing field for all athletes.
• 56:32
  At least here,
• 56:33
  we know the rules going in
• 56:35
  and we know what it is the
• 56:37
  whole way through the season.
• 56:40
  I just think it's going to
• 56:41
  be too tough for
• 56:44
  challengers and it's I mean
• 56:46
  you're gonna it's gonna be
• 56:47
  tough to get good athletes
• 56:48
  to come challenge I still
• 56:54
  think you're gonna see some
• 56:55
  some turnaround on those uh
• 56:58
  pro cards I don't know how
• 57:01
  many because yeah but
• 57:05
  I think you're probably
• 57:06
  looking at one or two in the future.
• 57:10
  And that's, you're asking, once again,
• 57:12
  you are asking challengers
• 57:14
  to be in peak performance
• 57:16
  for nine months of the year
• 57:17
  and pay a ridiculous amount
• 57:19
  of money to get to all, to get overseas,
• 57:24
  whether you're coming from
• 57:25
  Europe or coming from the U
• 57:26
  S one of them is not,
• 57:28
  it's going to be an
• 57:29
  expensive trip for a shot.
• 57:32
  I mean, that is, that's crazy.
• 57:39
  I think the definition of
• 57:40
  what peak performance is changed,
• 57:42
  and we talked about this
• 57:43
  when this first came out.
• 57:45
  If you're going to compete in both seasons,
• 57:48
  and Carolyn is a great example of this,
• 57:52
  because of her full-time job,
• 57:53
  she can't peak for one event.
• 57:56
  She has to stay in as good
• 57:59
  as she can get for the whole year.
• 58:01
  That's what it's got to be now.
• 58:03
  It can't be peaking for this
• 58:05
  and then taking a whole
• 58:06
  bunch of time off and peaking for that.
• 58:08
  If this is what you want,
• 58:10
  if you want to compete every
• 58:11
  couple of weeks and now you
• 58:14
  have the people in the
• 58:15
  Western United States that
• 58:16
  are competing online or in
• 58:18
  affiliate WFP and TFX three
• 58:22
  weeks in a row,
• 58:25
  do they want to do that or do they not?
• 58:28
  So if you're a challenger,
• 58:29
  not doing all of those things,
• 58:31
  you're actually have more
• 58:33
  space between competitions
• 58:35
  than the elite athletes
• 58:36
  choosing to do both seasons.
• 58:42
  And Europe was the other way
• 58:44
  on the front side of this.
• 58:48
  With Wadland Fest and affiliate WFP.
• 58:54
  Yeah, I mean,
• 58:54
  people are probably
• 58:55
  eventually going to have to choose.
• 58:58
  I think they're wanting, was it,
• 58:59
  I don't know where I saw it,
• 59:00
  but they're looking to add
• 59:01
  a fourth tour next year,
• 59:03
  like a quarterly tour.
• 59:05
  I think that's just their
• 59:06
  rec league that they're talking about.
• 59:07
  Oh, I don't know.
• 59:09
  No,
• 59:09
  I think they're adding another store
• 59:10
  stop.
• 59:11
  They're doing four tour stops.
• 59:12
  Yeah.
• 59:14
  And maybe, I don't know, maybe like,
• 59:16
  maybe you're guaranteed for two of them.
• 59:17
  But then after that, like, if you haven't,
• 59:19
  you have to reenter the challenger.
• 59:21
  Like there should be maybe
• 59:23
  something that you can lose
• 59:24
  your card within the year.
• 59:25
  If you haven't proven after two tours,
• 59:28
  we're like the third tour.
• 59:30
  you do the challenge division again,
• 59:32
  or the online qualifier to
• 59:34
  try to re get into the pro division.
• 59:36
  I think something like that could be.
• 59:39
  Well,
• 59:39
  this is what's going to happen is
• 59:41
  with the more tour stops you add,
• 59:43
  the less the elite athletes
• 59:45
  will do all of them.
• 59:47
  So then there's going to be
• 59:48
  even more opportunities for
• 59:49
  challengers to get up into
• 59:51
  the pro division.
• 59:52
  Cause there's going to be more open slots.
• 59:54
  That's what happens in golf and tennis.
• 59:57
  they jump up in there and
• 59:58
  then they get their points
• 59:59
  where they can get their points.
• 1:00:00
  And then it even becomes a more fun,
• 1:00:04
  entertaining championship
• 1:00:06
  when it's a lot tighter
• 1:00:07
  race between a lot more athletes.
• 1:00:17
  All that really matters is the final.
• 1:00:19
  So I sort of disagree with that.
• 1:00:21
  If there's four,
• 1:00:22
  if there's four events and a final,
• 1:00:24
  then the final isn't double points.
• 1:00:26
  Doesn't mean as much.
• 1:00:27
  So I think, I think the first two events,
• 1:00:29
  the pros should be given a spot,
• 1:00:32
  but then to the final,
• 1:00:35
  it's not guaranteed.
• 1:00:36
  They have their spot.
• 1:00:37
  It's based off the points of the first,
• 1:00:39
  let's say like two events.
• 1:00:41
  And then they,
• 1:00:42
  if they haven't gotten a
• 1:00:43
  certain amount of points,
• 1:00:44
  then the remaining spots
• 1:00:46
  are filled with a qualifier.
• 1:00:49
  I don't know, something like that,
• 1:00:51
  but maybe it starts getting
• 1:00:53
  too confusing at that point.
• 1:00:55
  I don't know, but all right,
• 1:00:58
  let's move on to the French throw down.
• 1:01:01
  Um,
• 1:01:03
  I watched that all weekend.
• 1:01:04
  That was, that was a tough watch.
• 1:01:06
  That was back to and the world feed.
• 1:01:10
  If you guys remember that
• 1:01:11
  anybody could broadcast the
• 1:01:13
  games with the free world feed.
• 1:01:16
  Uh,
• 1:01:16
  so poor Peter and coffee pods and wads
• 1:01:18
  had to just watch the video
• 1:01:21
  and commentate as the video was going on.
• 1:01:24
  But I think they did the
• 1:01:25
  best they could do with
• 1:01:26
  that format and kudos to
• 1:01:28
  them for giving us an
• 1:01:29
  English version to watch.
• 1:01:33
  On the men's side, Moritz Fiebig won,
• 1:01:35
  but he had already
• 1:01:36
  qualified for the games.
• 1:01:38
  So then we move to number two,
• 1:01:39
  which is Bronislaw Alinkowitz.
• 1:01:42
  And then number three was Callum Clements.
• 1:01:44
  So Callum Clements and
• 1:01:46
  Bronislaw Alinkowitz get
• 1:01:47
  their ticket to the CrossFit Games.
• 1:01:50
  On the women's side, Elisa Fuliano won,
• 1:01:52
  but is not eligible to go
• 1:01:53
  to the CrossFit Games.
• 1:01:55
  So we go to number two, Claudia Gluck.
• 1:01:58
  And then three, Lucy McGonigal.
• 1:02:01
  Those two punched their
• 1:02:02
  tickets to the games.
• 1:02:06
  And we're still back to what
• 1:02:08
  we talked about a couple weeks ago,
• 1:02:10
  where people are playing
• 1:02:11
  the sport differently.
• 1:02:12
  taking up spots of those
• 1:02:14
  trying to compete at the games.
• 1:02:17
  And it makes it confusing to
• 1:02:18
  understand that the winner
• 1:02:20
  isn't going to the games or
• 1:02:21
  is already going to the games.
• 1:02:23
  And then you have to explain
• 1:02:24
  why two and three got the
• 1:02:25
  tickets this time.
• 1:02:28
  Um, so any thoughts on this event?
• 1:02:33
  I mean, I feel like Peter tried his best.
• 1:02:35
  I,
• 1:02:35
  I watched what I could of it between
• 1:02:38
  trying to scroll back through WFP.
• 1:02:42
  Um,
• 1:02:44
  Yeah, it was an interesting feed.
• 1:02:48
  It was, I don't know,
• 1:02:49
  it was just hard for me to
• 1:02:50
  follow both events.
• 1:02:52
  Well, it's another twenty lane heat.
• 1:02:53
  Yeah.
• 1:02:54
  Which is just impossible.
• 1:02:56
  Right.
• 1:02:57
  Yeah,
• 1:02:57
  I feel like he was even having trouble.
• 1:02:58
  Like, he doesn't know the names of people,
• 1:03:00
  right?
• 1:03:00
  And he doesn't even know
• 1:03:01
  where they're going with the camera.
• 1:03:02
  And he's like, I don't know.
• 1:03:03
  There's no jerseys.
• 1:03:06
  There's no... And he's not
• 1:03:08
  getting any feed in his
• 1:03:09
  ears of who the people are.
• 1:03:13
  It's an impossible task.
• 1:03:14
  Agree.
• 1:03:18
  Yeah.
• 1:03:19
  I mean,
• 1:03:19
  I watched the French version because...
• 1:03:23
  speak french yeah that was
• 1:03:23
  probably better I mean I
• 1:03:25
  liked peter he did he did
• 1:03:26
  literally as well as he
• 1:03:27
  could well I couldn't watch
• 1:03:29
  the I tried watching the
• 1:03:30
  peter one but he didn't
• 1:03:31
  know like any of the
• 1:03:32
  athletes to like commentate
• 1:03:33
  so it made no sense to me
• 1:03:35
  to watch that one because
• 1:03:36
  the french one I understood
• 1:03:37
  like what was going on and
• 1:03:39
  the athletes that they were
• 1:03:40
  talking about um
• 1:03:43
  But they were definitely very,
• 1:03:44
  very pro cheering their
• 1:03:47
  French athletes when they
• 1:03:50
  were commentating.
• 1:03:52
  Did you get any update on Mirren Van Roer?
• 1:03:54
  Well,
• 1:03:55
  she posted something on her story
• 1:03:56
  that she's going to give an update soon,
• 1:03:59
  but that she is doing better.
• 1:04:01
  Okay.
• 1:04:02
  So on her Instagram story,
• 1:04:04
  she had posted something
• 1:04:05
  recently in the past couple hours,
• 1:04:07
  I think.
• 1:04:07
  CrossFit said, wee-wee thrusters,
• 1:04:09
  wee-wee wall walks.
• 1:04:10
  Okay.
• 1:04:11
  We go.
• 1:04:11
  Look, it is the whole time.
• 1:04:18
  Like they're like
• 1:04:18
  specifically cheering her
• 1:04:20
  on basically during the broadcast.
• 1:04:24
  Oh, she got her ticket.
• 1:04:25
  So four more people got
• 1:04:28
  their tickets to the games.
• 1:04:30
  I was surprised to see Bronislaw.
• 1:04:32
  Like, I think that's cool.
• 1:04:33
  Like he's a master's athlete.
• 1:04:35
  Didn't do the master's.
• 1:04:36
  I don't think this year,
• 1:04:36
  but to see someone like,
• 1:04:41
  know still up there I think
• 1:04:43
  that was a great finish for
• 1:04:44
  him um who is he with now
• 1:04:47
  because is he with justin
• 1:04:48
  anymore no he is somebody
• 1:04:51
  said they were pretty sure
• 1:04:52
  he moved over to um a
• 1:04:55
  european one right yeah um
• 1:04:58
  well I just had justin on a
• 1:04:59
  couple weeks ago and he
• 1:05:01
  said he was still with him
• 1:05:02
  okay but so then a good
• 1:05:07
  weekend for for justin
• 1:05:10
  with, uh,
• 1:05:11
  Gazan winning and him qualifying.
• 1:05:14
  If he has that athlete still, um,
• 1:05:18
  But no real supplies on the
• 1:05:20
  qualifications on the female side.
• 1:05:24
  I feel like Lucy's been on
• 1:05:26
  the up-and-coming,
• 1:05:26
  and she's been looking great.
• 1:05:28
  She was right there on the
• 1:05:29
  online semifinal,
• 1:05:30
  I think in the fourteenth
• 1:05:31
  or fifteenth position.
• 1:05:34
  Has done very well online
• 1:05:35
  and is starting to do well
• 1:05:38
  in person and putting some
• 1:05:39
  good performances together.
• 1:05:40
  So...
• 1:05:41
  I think this was the best
• 1:05:43
  field that she could have
• 1:05:44
  gone against in terms of
• 1:05:46
  chances to qualify,
• 1:05:47
  and she took advantage.
• 1:05:48
  She looked good all weekend.
• 1:05:49
  She was within the top.
• 1:05:51
  I mean,
• 1:05:51
  I think her first event was a
• 1:05:53
  little bit lower, but after that,
• 1:05:55
  her and Claudia kind of
• 1:05:57
  clawed their way back into the mix,
• 1:05:59
  and Fuliano was above
• 1:06:03
  everyone that weekend.
• 1:06:04
  Our CrossFit tries this French again.
• 1:06:07
  Magnifique, Claudia Gluck.
• 1:06:12
  And then he says,
• 1:06:13
  Justin's usually the last
• 1:06:14
  one to find out.
• 1:06:15
  Sadly, that is true.
• 1:06:19
  Yeah.
• 1:06:19
  I hate that for him.
• 1:06:20
  But anyway, so there we have that.
• 1:06:25
  It was really a tough watch.
• 1:06:26
  So that's all I have to say about that.
• 1:06:29
  And we are running way late tonight.
• 1:06:30
  So Dave did appear on with
• 1:06:34
  Sevan last night.
• 1:06:35
  I did want to do a quick recap of that.
• 1:06:38
  He talked about Hiller and
• 1:06:41
  how he doesn't want Hiller
• 1:06:42
  to be the reason that reviews are done.
• 1:06:45
  He wants his team to do the
• 1:06:46
  reviews because they need
• 1:06:47
  to be done and it to be
• 1:06:49
  that way and not for people
• 1:06:50
  to think it's because
• 1:06:51
  Hiller pointed something out.
• 1:06:54
  But he did talk about that during...
• 1:06:58
  Because it is now in their
• 1:06:59
  hands doing the final video
• 1:07:00
  reviews that they have been
• 1:07:02
  in contact with Brooke
• 1:07:03
  Wells and her team.
• 1:07:05
  And they also talked about
• 1:07:07
  the GHD standard,
• 1:07:09
  but he would not elaborate on anything.
• 1:07:12
  And I'm assuming that
• 1:07:13
  because they are in talks
• 1:07:14
  as to how they're going to
• 1:07:15
  deal with the GHD situation.
• 1:07:17
  Well, they started emailing the athletes.
• 1:07:20
  Like I've had two videos verified so far.
• 1:07:24
  Just talking with a couple athletes,
• 1:07:25
  like they've had two or three verified,
• 1:07:27
  but not from the online team,
• 1:07:29
  just from the community
• 1:07:30
  review of whatever that meant.
• 1:07:34
  I don't know if they need a
• 1:07:35
  certain amount of thumbs up
• 1:07:37
  or thumbs down.
• 1:07:39
  So I'm not even sure how
• 1:07:40
  much they're really looking
• 1:07:41
  at these videos on the individual side.
• 1:07:45
  Right now,
• 1:07:45
  my total points have changed one
• 1:07:48
  point from my total,
• 1:07:50
  but not like I haven't moved up,
• 1:07:52
  but I think I had one ninety six total.
• 1:07:55
  I think now I see one ninety
• 1:07:56
  five on my total.
• 1:07:56
  So maybe one person got a penalty so far,
• 1:08:01
  but I'm not sure there's
• 1:08:03
  much reviewing going on.
• 1:08:06
  I felt like these reviews,
• 1:08:07
  there was a lot less votes
• 1:08:09
  I felt like than some of the age group or
• 1:08:13
  from the age group division
• 1:08:15
  or maybe I was just too far
• 1:08:17
  down the leaderboard I
• 1:08:19
  didn't see many reviews I
• 1:08:21
  don't know um Craig says
• 1:08:27
  Lucy's with hwpo Lucy
• 1:08:29
  McGonigal is with proven uh
• 1:08:32
  they said on the broadcast
• 1:08:33
  that she's now being
• 1:08:34
  coached by Shane or
• 1:08:36
  specifically and proven
• 1:08:37
  released um an Instagram
• 1:08:39
  congratulating her on her
• 1:08:40
  qualification yeah
• 1:08:48
  So, yeah,
• 1:08:48
  I'm curious to see how many
• 1:08:50
  people will get penalties
• 1:08:52
  and how strict they'll be
• 1:08:53
  on some of those standards.
• 1:08:58
  Yeah.
• 1:09:00
  And just camera angles in general.
• 1:09:02
  Jeez.
• 1:09:02
  And people don't know how to count.
• 1:09:05
  A lot of people were
• 1:09:06
  counting even their burpees
• 1:09:08
  when they're in the air and
• 1:09:10
  the time is up,
• 1:09:11
  but if they're still
• 1:09:12
  landing when the second's done, it's like,
• 1:09:14
  no, your minute is done at the top.
• 1:09:17
  You didn't finish it.
• 1:09:18
  A lot of people are counting
• 1:09:19
  their reps like that.
• 1:09:21
  I don't know if they're
• 1:09:22
  going to be strict.
• 1:09:25
  Not that it matters for me,
• 1:09:25
  but for the people at the cut line,
• 1:09:28
  those...
• 1:09:31
  those are going to matter
• 1:09:32
  whether they're going to be
• 1:09:33
  strict or not.
• 1:09:34
  I need to shave my beard off.
• 1:09:37
  So the strict thing is,
• 1:09:39
  are they going to be strict?
• 1:09:41
  So I got reached out to this
• 1:09:42
  weekend because I posted a
• 1:09:43
  picture of a pyramid doing
• 1:09:45
  a GHD setup and said,
• 1:09:47
  at least the pyramid knows
• 1:09:48
  where the butt's supposed to go.
• 1:09:51
  Right.
• 1:09:51
  I get reached out by a
• 1:09:52
  prominent person in the space saying that,
• 1:09:54
  why are you diving into group?
• 1:09:56
  Think I'm not diving into group.
• 1:10:00
  Think,
• 1:10:01
  I have friends that compete
• 1:10:02
  in this sport and they
• 1:10:03
  should have a fair playing
• 1:10:04
  field with everybody else.
• 1:10:06
  Everybody thinks about the
• 1:10:07
  poor athlete that skirted
• 1:10:09
  the standard and it might get penalized.
• 1:10:12
  Nobody thinks about the
• 1:10:13
  person who did it right and
• 1:10:15
  isn't going to qualify for
• 1:10:16
  the games because we're
• 1:10:17
  letting the person who
• 1:10:18
  skirted the system ahead of them.
• 1:10:21
  That's what's pissing me off.
• 1:10:24
  It's not groupthink.
• 1:10:25
  It's my thought.
• 1:10:26
  I'm allowed to have thoughts and opinions.
• 1:10:28
  And just because they may be
• 1:10:29
  the same as other people in
• 1:10:30
  the space doesn't mean I
• 1:10:32
  got into a group huddle and said, hey,
• 1:10:34
  guys, let's do this.
• 1:10:38
  I'm scared of the people
• 1:10:39
  doing it right getting screwed over.
• 1:10:40
  Right.
• 1:10:41
  Riff, Scott.
• 1:10:43
  Riff.
• 1:10:44
  That's what pisses me off.
• 1:10:46
  That's what pisses me off
• 1:10:46
  about this GHD thing.
• 1:10:48
  Jason Hopper does beautiful GHDs.
• 1:10:51
  beautiful GHDs and he should
• 1:10:54
  get credit for doing
• 1:10:55
  beautiful GHDs and not get
• 1:10:57
  beaten every time because
• 1:10:59
  everybody else is doing it
• 1:11:00
  a cheaper team.
• 1:11:05
  So I posted a,
• 1:11:07
  an exaggerated version of
• 1:11:10
  basically what we're seeing.
• 1:11:12
  And I had athletes reach out
• 1:11:13
  to me to say that they were
• 1:11:14
  trying to learn that technique, um,
• 1:11:17
  basically the day before the
• 1:11:19
  event at the WFP because
• 1:11:22
  they were going to allow anything goes.
• 1:11:25
  And in order to stay relevant in the race,
• 1:11:27
  like you kind of had to
• 1:11:29
  adjust to that technique
• 1:11:30
  that was just significantly
• 1:11:32
  faster and easier.
• 1:11:36
  So yeah,
• 1:11:36
  I had two or three athletes that
• 1:11:37
  were competing there say
• 1:11:39
  that they were learning it
• 1:11:40
  and it felt like weird and they're,
• 1:11:42
  they're practicing it.
• 1:11:43
  So yeah.
• 1:11:45
  I just want to understand
• 1:11:46
  why we protect the cheater
• 1:11:49
  and don't think about the
• 1:11:50
  person who's doing it right
• 1:11:51
  and how they're missing
• 1:11:52
  their opportunity.
• 1:11:56
  Exactly right.
• 1:11:56
  Especially when it's spelled out for you.
• 1:12:00
  Like when things are told to you,
• 1:12:03
  video this way, camera angle like this,
• 1:12:07
  put your butt on the back
• 1:12:10
  side of the pad.
• 1:12:11
  Like stop, stop.
• 1:12:14
  But people were hitting the side of their,
• 1:12:16
  like, like on the GHD,
• 1:12:17
  like they were like hitting
• 1:12:18
  the side of the targets.
• 1:12:19
  That's always been a thing.
• 1:12:20
  You're supposed to go around.
• 1:12:23
  Like at the top.
• 1:12:24
  Right.
• 1:12:24
  And they're hitting like the side.
• 1:12:26
  I think like, I won't say names, but yeah.
• 1:12:28
  Yeah.
• 1:12:31
  Yeah.
• 1:12:33
  And in no way,
• 1:12:33
  I didn't even mention a name
• 1:12:35
  in that post.
• 1:12:36
  I just posted a pyramid doing a GHD.
• 1:12:40
  That was it.
• 1:12:41
  I laughed.
• 1:12:43
  I shared it.
• 1:12:44
  I totally agree.
• 1:12:48
  And I said to this person,
• 1:12:48
  I could name names, but I'm not.
• 1:12:50
  I'm just saying I want it to
• 1:12:52
  be a fair playing field for everybody.
• 1:12:55
  That's all I want.
• 1:12:57
  I want the people who are
• 1:12:57
  doing it correctly to be
• 1:12:59
  rewarded for doing it correctly.
• 1:13:03
  Right.
• 1:13:07
  That's it.
• 1:13:11
  Man, I'm fired up tonight.
• 1:13:14
  Okay.
• 1:13:16
  And then the last thing about Dave, well,
• 1:13:19
  one thing is the Kale
• 1:13:20
  Lehman investigation is
• 1:13:22
  still ongoing and we should
• 1:13:24
  hear something about that soon.
• 1:13:26
  But the one thing that was
• 1:13:27
  interesting to me is that
• 1:13:29
  it kind of came out during
• 1:13:30
  this conversation that the
• 1:13:32
  same people that complain
• 1:13:33
  about Hiller are also
• 1:13:35
  sending him like tattletale
• 1:13:37
  videos of other athletes
• 1:13:38
  that they see are doing things wrong.
• 1:13:40
  So on one hand, publicly,
• 1:13:43
  they want to ridicule
• 1:13:44
  Hiller for pointing things out,
• 1:13:46
  but yet they're using him
• 1:13:48
  to be the megaphone to get
• 1:13:54
  it out that other athletes
• 1:13:55
  are doing it wrong too.
• 1:13:58
  And I think that is crazy.
• 1:14:04
  Yeah.
• 1:14:04
  On to some good news.
• 1:14:06
  Road to the Games is coming back.
• 1:14:08
  Love that.
• 1:14:11
  and it was um they did a
• 1:14:15
  little preview on the
• 1:14:16
  trailer yeah there's a
• 1:14:17
  trailer out on youtube um
• 1:14:19
  it is going to be colton
• 1:14:21
  dallin austin everyone
• 1:14:26
  that's basically everyone
• 1:14:28
  that was at the um that
• 1:14:30
  have already qualified
• 1:14:31
  because abby was there too
• 1:14:33
  dome it and people that did
• 1:14:35
  the announcements because
• 1:14:37
  they were already probably
• 1:14:37
  filming some behind the scenes there
• 1:14:41
  and assuming that they're
• 1:14:44
  qualifying yeah but abby
• 1:14:45
  domit fisagafi dylan pepper
• 1:14:48
  colton mertens and is it
• 1:14:50
  austin hatfield yeah yeah
• 1:14:50
  okay so those five are
• 1:14:54
  being featured on this
• 1:14:55
  summer on road to the games
• 1:14:58
  and I so hope we're getting
• 1:15:00
  back to storytelling
• 1:15:02
  It looks good.
• 1:15:04
  It got me pumped up.
• 1:15:05
  The road to the games got me pumped up.
• 1:15:07
  But I'm so hoping we get
• 1:15:08
  back to the old-fashioned
• 1:15:09
  storytelling and not just
• 1:15:11
  talk about workouts.
• 1:15:14
  Talk about what got them there.
• 1:15:17
  What they're doing to be
• 1:15:20
  better in life in general.
• 1:15:22
  I just want to see more of that.
• 1:15:26
  But I'm super excited that
• 1:15:28
  that is happening.
• 1:15:29
  Is it Mariah and Tyson?
• 1:15:33
  It is not Tyson.
• 1:15:36
  There's a lot of names in that chat.
• 1:15:37
  Yeah, but it's being run by.
• 1:15:41
  Oh, gosh.
• 1:15:43
  So Vaughn said the name last
• 1:15:44
  night when he was on with
• 1:15:46
  it because he confirmed
• 1:15:46
  with Dave who was doing it.
• 1:15:49
  And I don't know the name.
• 1:15:50
  It's not somebody that I know,
• 1:15:52
  but they they seem to both
• 1:15:53
  trust to do these types of
• 1:15:56
  things and have done them in the past.
• 1:15:59
  Ian Wittenberg.
• 1:15:59
  That's what it is.
• 1:16:00
  Thank you, CrossFat.
• 1:16:01
  Ian Wittenberg and Mariah
• 1:16:03
  Moore are doing these ones.
• 1:16:08
  So there it is.
• 1:16:09
  I knew it would come to me
• 1:16:11
  if I just had a little help.
• 1:16:14
  So there we go.
• 1:16:16
  TFX is this weekend.
• 1:16:20
  So the West North America
• 1:16:22
  West are getting their
• 1:16:24
  opportunity to qualify for the games.
• 1:16:27
  It will be two spots.
• 1:16:28
  They do have their workouts
• 1:16:30
  out on trying to pull it up fast.
• 1:16:33
  They have them out on IG.
• 1:16:36
  Any thoughts on who will be
• 1:16:40
  getting their tickets this weekend?
• 1:16:42
  Well,
• 1:16:42
  I don't know who's still competing there.
• 1:16:46
  Some of the people have
• 1:16:47
  their spots maybe on the
• 1:16:50
  online semifinal right now,
• 1:16:52
  but do they take the chance?
• 1:16:54
  I mean,
• 1:16:54
  if you've had all your videos maybe
• 1:16:55
  accepted, you don't have to go,
• 1:16:58
  especially if they competed this weekend.
• 1:17:00
  I don't really know.
• 1:17:01
  I haven't looked if people
• 1:17:02
  have changed their mind on
• 1:17:06
  if they're competing or not.
• 1:17:10
  Yeah.
• 1:17:11
  Confirmed.
• 1:17:11
  But what does that mean?
• 1:17:17
  On the site?
• 1:17:18
  Like, does Olivia go there?
• 1:17:22
  Right.
• 1:17:22
  Is she going to even try?
• 1:17:26
  Trista Smith's done three years,
• 1:17:28
  the weeks in a row.
• 1:17:30
  Because they are already qualified, right?
• 1:17:32
  Yeah.
• 1:17:34
  Or does Gazan go there?
• 1:17:36
  Or does she just go on NorCal?
• 1:17:38
  I heard she was only doing NorCal.
• 1:17:40
  And then Emily,
• 1:17:41
  does Emily go there and
• 1:17:43
  NorCal to give her shot?
• 1:17:46
  I heard her back.
• 1:17:47
  Is she going to?
• 1:17:47
  Yeah.
• 1:17:51
  Or maybe that maybe maybe
• 1:17:52
  she's saving it to go to
• 1:17:54
  Texas because she wasn't
• 1:17:56
  maybe doing as well there as she wanted.
• 1:17:58
  I don't know.
• 1:17:58
  Maybe it was just like this.
• 1:17:59
  Let's just stop.
• 1:18:04
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:18:07
  is sydney from the west
• 1:18:09
  michael yeah yeah is she
• 1:18:12
  doing that that one maybe
• 1:18:15
  yeah I mean there's some
• 1:18:16
  it's gonna be competitive
• 1:18:19
  she looked better this
• 1:18:20
  weekend yeah she had some
• 1:18:22
  good showing yeah
• 1:18:25
  And sometimes I feel like
• 1:18:26
  she would have done even
• 1:18:27
  better had she been in a better heat.
• 1:18:28
  Like legless rope climbs.
• 1:18:29
  She's one of the best in the
• 1:18:30
  space in legless rope climbs.
• 1:18:32
  But she was in a heat that
• 1:18:33
  didn't have anyone that was pushing her.
• 1:18:36
  And then the next heat had a
• 1:18:38
  few that maybe would have
• 1:18:39
  pushed her a little bit more.
• 1:18:41
  But I thought she did well.
• 1:18:45
  Yeah.
• 1:18:47
  Yeah, like Sprague is confirmed.
• 1:18:48
  Lowen is confirmed.
• 1:18:49
  Who knows?
• 1:18:49
  Because they both qualified.
• 1:18:53
  Yeah,
• 1:18:53
  so it's hard to know whether they're
• 1:18:55
  still going or not.
• 1:18:57
  And if they go,
• 1:18:57
  then that's very
• 1:18:58
  interesting because if they qualify there,
• 1:19:00
  then the leaderboard starts going down.
• 1:19:03
  Like if you're someone like
• 1:19:08
  Kyra Milligan right now or Amy Kringle,
• 1:19:10
  like you're hoping that
• 1:19:12
  Olivia is going there.
• 1:19:13
  You're hoping that Ariel's
• 1:19:14
  going there to compete and
• 1:19:17
  get those spots so that it
• 1:19:18
  goes down to...
• 1:19:21
  you and the next person, right?
• 1:19:23
  So you're like, come on, go,
• 1:19:24
  go compete at Texas.
• 1:19:30
  I keep saying Texas.
• 1:19:31
  Where, where is it?
• 1:19:32
  Oklahoma, Oklahoma.
• 1:19:33
  Yeah.
• 1:19:33
  Yep.
• 1:19:36
  My bad.
• 1:19:37
  It's a T in the TFX.
• 1:19:38
  I just always, I don't know,
• 1:19:39
  T in the X. Yeah, you're correct.
• 1:19:43
  The online was not confirmed yet.
• 1:19:45
  So that's why people are wondering,
• 1:19:47
  are they going to take
• 1:19:48
  their chances where they
• 1:19:49
  stand today and not compete?
• 1:19:51
  Or are they going to compete
• 1:19:53
  and get their spot in Oklahoma City?
• 1:20:04
  The pack says,
• 1:20:05
  do you think it's cooler to
• 1:20:05
  have one event a year like Rogue,
• 1:20:07
  or are you hyped to watch
• 1:20:08
  another WFP event with the
• 1:20:10
  same people in a few months?
• 1:20:12
  I'm psyched to see the same
• 1:20:13
  people in a few months.
• 1:20:17
  I know it's just one event,
• 1:20:20
  but let everybody come and play.
• 1:20:21
  No, I'm just kidding.
• 1:20:23
  No,
• 1:20:25
  I just wish there were different events.
• 1:20:29
  it was just I just wish it
• 1:20:30
  was set up a little bit different.
• 1:20:32
  Because I truly think it could be great.
• 1:20:36
  I just think the need to be like,
• 1:20:39
  basically reestablished each each event.
• 1:20:47
  We have to look at it this way.
• 1:20:49
  Scrap how the got it this year.
• 1:20:51
  At the end of this year,
• 1:20:52
  people are going to be
• 1:20:53
  rewarded for three event
• 1:20:57
  season that they put
• 1:20:59
  together and they were top
• 1:21:00
  twenty in those three events combined.
• 1:21:07
  Then from that point forward,
• 1:21:08
  then it becomes clearer as
• 1:21:10
  to why it's being done this way.
• 1:21:21
  I love watching
• 1:21:24
  unknown names compete.
• 1:21:26
  I personally love heat three and four,
• 1:21:28
  and I love seeing breakout
• 1:21:30
  performances from athletes of the pack.
• 1:21:32
  If that's what you're asking, like, yeah,
• 1:21:37
  I'd rather, I don't know.
• 1:21:37
  Like I,
• 1:21:39
  I like the idea of having challengers.
• 1:21:41
  I like, I think that's,
• 1:21:42
  what's going to keep this
• 1:21:42
  going is like new people coming in.
• 1:21:44
  But the problem is if it's,
• 1:21:45
  isn't viable for these challengers,
• 1:21:47
  then it doesn't make it exciting to me.
• 1:21:53
  I want, I want there to be a race.
• 1:21:55
  I want people to take people's cards.
• 1:21:59
  Any of these workouts stand
• 1:22:00
  out to you or so we start with, um,
• 1:22:04
  event one, uh, which is a hundred.
• 1:22:08
  It's a chipper.
• 1:22:09
  What was that?
• 1:22:12
  A hundred wall balls, fifty toes to bar,
• 1:22:14
  fifty calorie row,
• 1:22:15
  forty dual dumbbell box stepovers,
• 1:22:17
  then fifty wall balls,
• 1:22:18
  twenty-five toes to bar,
• 1:22:19
  twenty-five count row,
• 1:22:21
  twenty-five dual dumbbell.
• 1:22:22
  I love that workout.
• 1:22:23
  Got Karen in there yet.
• 1:22:28
  Then we've got the heavy Isabel.
• 1:22:31
  I'm over that one right now.
• 1:22:32
  Yep.
• 1:22:34
  Uh, devil dog one and two, uh, for time,
• 1:22:37
  five minute cap and then
• 1:22:38
  rest three minutes in another.
• 1:22:40
  Is this two scored events, two,
• 1:22:41
  fifty points events that they said.
• 1:22:44
  It's probably two hundred pointers.
• 1:22:46
  You think that you're
• 1:22:48
  rewarding the same people twice?
• 1:22:49
  I don't know.
• 1:22:50
  That's what they've been doing.
• 1:22:51
  I don't like that.
• 1:22:52
  If it's two hundred points,
• 1:22:53
  I think that's I like that
• 1:22:55
  about WFB doing the two fifty pointers.
• 1:22:57
  That was good.
• 1:23:00
  I hope it's not two one
• 1:23:01
  hundred points for this.
• 1:23:02
  I bet it is.
• 1:23:04
  You think?
• 1:23:05
  Yeah, I bet it is.
• 1:23:07
  That would be then.
• 1:23:08
  I think that's very nice.
• 1:23:10
  Two minutes on one minute off.
• 1:23:12
  Seven sets.
• 1:23:14
  Forty fat rope singles.
• 1:23:15
  Seven burpee box getovers.
• 1:23:17
  Max calorie echo bike and remaining time.
• 1:23:20
  What's fat rope singles?
• 1:23:23
  uh it's not like those big
• 1:23:24
  those big thick like ropes
• 1:23:26
  is that what that is well
• 1:23:28
  there's like a dragon like
• 1:23:29
  do you think it's it's more
• 1:23:31
  it's the big one that I
• 1:23:33
  think it came in like the
• 1:23:34
  gains box like two years
• 1:23:35
  ago it's like a looks like
• 1:23:36
  a jump uh rope okay that's
• 1:23:38
  what that's what I thought
• 1:23:39
  it was like a rope climbing
• 1:23:40
  rope yes see I don't like
• 1:23:41
  that like what are we
• 1:23:42
  testing like I don't know
• 1:23:43
  is that really fitness like
• 1:23:47
  what is that like
• 1:23:50
  is that necessary to test
• 1:23:51
  the fitness to like oh
• 1:23:54
  that's what's gonna get you
• 1:23:55
  to the games you have to be
• 1:23:56
  able to do this fat rope
• 1:23:58
  singles like that has
• 1:24:00
  nothing to do with fitness
• 1:24:01
  I think interesting choice
• 1:24:07
  if that is the movement
• 1:24:09
  Then we have this one with
• 1:24:11
  three rounds of twelve minute time cap,
• 1:24:13
  fifteen sandbag squats.
• 1:24:14
  We know how those go.
• 1:24:16
  Thirty foot unbroken
• 1:24:17
  handstand walk ring round one,
• 1:24:20
  fifteen ring muscle ups, round two,
• 1:24:21
  thirty chest to bar round three,
• 1:24:23
  forty five pull.
• 1:24:24
  So kind of backwards of what we've seen.
• 1:24:27
  And then another thirty foot
• 1:24:29
  handstand walk.
• 1:24:30
  I don't hate it if the
• 1:24:32
  sandbag is racked on their shoulder.
• 1:24:36
  That needs to be standardized.
• 1:24:37
  That can't be that stupid.
• 1:24:38
  It's very awkward though.
• 1:24:40
  Like when they're starting
• 1:24:40
  to get like one fifty two hundreds,
• 1:24:42
  like if you want to really
• 1:24:43
  stand up straight,
• 1:24:45
  like it's hard to definitely stabilize.
• 1:24:47
  But yeah,
• 1:24:48
  it needs to be there versus the front.
• 1:24:50
  Yeah, for sure.
• 1:24:52
  I don't mind the difference
• 1:24:53
  of gymnastics being like
• 1:24:56
  the harder one first and
• 1:24:57
  then the increasing reps.
• 1:24:58
  I think that's interesting.
• 1:25:00
  Yeah, that is interesting.
• 1:25:02
  A quick little sprint with five,
• 1:25:04
  fifty meter runs.
• 1:25:06
  Four, three, two cleans after each one.
• 1:25:08
  Two, twenty-five, two, seventy-five, three,
• 1:25:10
  fifteen.
• 1:25:10
  Or for the ladies, one, fifty-five, one,
• 1:25:12
  eighty-five, two, fifteen.
• 1:25:13
  So, man, they got to stop doing these,
• 1:25:16
  like, double heavy events.
• 1:25:18
  Like, either do heavy Isabel or do a, like,
• 1:25:21
  I don't understand.
• 1:25:21
  All right.
• 1:25:26
  Those are the events.
• 1:25:27
  Well,
• 1:25:27
  Olivia might as well go here and
• 1:25:29
  insure her spot if
• 1:25:30
  something happens online.
• 1:25:31
  Shh.
• 1:25:32
  It's up her alley.
• 1:25:34
  If Rolf goes to that one,
• 1:25:36
  I'm not sure that's the
• 1:25:37
  right one for her.
• 1:25:39
  Just looking off that,
• 1:25:39
  she would get a lead on the run
• 1:25:42
  She could power clean
• 1:25:44
  because she prefers the
• 1:25:45
  power clean to the squat clean.
• 1:25:48
  But some athletes may be
• 1:25:50
  able to just power the whole thing.
• 1:25:51
  And regardless whether
• 1:25:53
  they're a little bit behind on the run,
• 1:25:54
  maybe they can make up for that.
• 1:25:56
  It's a fifty meter run.
• 1:25:57
  If it was a two,
• 1:25:59
  even two hundred meter run.
• 1:25:59
  Oh, five fifty.
• 1:26:02
  Oh, she gets a good lead on that.
• 1:26:03
  I think that's OK.
• 1:26:04
  That's more.
• 1:26:05
  All right.
• 1:26:06
  I thought it was another sprint.
• 1:26:07
  OK, that's better.
• 1:26:11
  um so so that's that what
• 1:26:15
  else do we have to finish
• 1:26:16
  up I will say that end of
• 1:26:18
  wwfp the lunch wrecked some
• 1:26:21
  people and really made a
• 1:26:22
  huge difference that double
• 1:26:24
  dumbbell is tough and some
• 1:26:27
  people had risked the
• 1:26:28
  biscuit yeah and they yeah
• 1:26:30
  uh poor uh jeff
• 1:26:35
  So I've alluded to this a few times.
• 1:26:37
  Syndicate Crown expanded
• 1:26:39
  their field to forty men
• 1:26:40
  and forty women instead of thirty.
• 1:26:42
  I hate in-season changes to rules.
• 1:26:45
  I hate that.
• 1:26:47
  And NorCal sent an open
• 1:26:48
  invitation to all athletes
• 1:26:50
  who missed their
• 1:26:51
  opportunity to make the games and said,
• 1:26:53
  hey, come on,
• 1:26:54
  we'll give you another shot.
• 1:26:57
  I will speak for the people
• 1:26:58
  on this panel that are
• 1:27:01
  competing and shouldn't
• 1:27:02
  talk and affect their
• 1:27:03
  standing in the space.
• 1:27:06
  This is completely unfair.
• 1:27:09
  People have planned their seasons out.
• 1:27:12
  People have picked where
• 1:27:12
  they're going to go.
• 1:27:14
  And at the last minute to
• 1:27:15
  just open invite everybody to something.
• 1:27:19
  is a big screw job to people
• 1:27:21
  who planned out their
• 1:27:22
  season and put their eggs
• 1:27:24
  in a certain basket.
• 1:27:26
  And then last minute,
• 1:27:26
  we're going to add twenty
• 1:27:28
  new people to the field
• 1:27:29
  just to make it harder.
• 1:27:31
  That is idiotic.
• 1:27:33
  And I borderline as close as
• 1:27:35
  the syndicate crown,
• 1:27:36
  adding ten more people to
• 1:27:38
  each side of the field.
• 1:27:40
  There were people that put
• 1:27:41
  their eggs in the syndicate crown basket,
• 1:27:43
  and now they've got to
• 1:27:44
  compete with ten more
• 1:27:44
  people because in line or
• 1:27:47
  in online didn't go as well
• 1:27:48
  as they thought it was.
• 1:27:51
  That's completely dumb,
• 1:27:54
  completely asinine.
• 1:27:56
  And you ask why at the
• 1:27:57
  beginning of the show, I am,
• 1:27:59
  I'm leaning into a season
• 1:28:01
  that's easier to explain with a WFP.
• 1:28:03
  It's because of shit like this.
• 1:28:07
  Yeah.
• 1:28:08
  The CrossFit game season is a shit show.
• 1:28:10
  Like I'm,
• 1:28:11
  I'm kind of wondering if I
• 1:28:13
  shouldn't have signed up
• 1:28:14
  for the semifinals.
• 1:28:15
  Cause I, I maybe could have been top four.
• 1:28:17
  Yeah.
• 1:28:19
  If they're going to go down to forty now,
• 1:28:22
  am I going to be kicking
• 1:28:23
  myself that I didn't submit my scores?
• 1:28:25
  Stupid.
• 1:28:26
  Bossman says there was a
• 1:28:27
  qualifier for NorCal, correct?
• 1:28:29
  Yes, there was.
• 1:28:30
  People paid money to qualify for NorCal.
• 1:28:35
  I did the qualifier.
• 1:28:36
  Paid money to go do the qualifier.
• 1:28:40
  And then they get in and
• 1:28:42
  then they did announce they
• 1:28:43
  had a couple wild cards for
• 1:28:46
  like past years.
• 1:28:46
  That should be filled at this point.
• 1:28:48
  Like if people passed.
• 1:28:49
  But then past that, now you're saying, oh,
• 1:28:52
  it didn't go so well for
• 1:28:53
  you in this part of the season.
• 1:28:55
  Come on,
• 1:28:56
  we'll give you another invite and
• 1:28:57
  give you another chance.
• 1:29:00
  I thought that there was a
• 1:29:00
  last chance qualifier.
• 1:29:02
  Like that's your last chance qualifier.
• 1:29:04
  Bullshit.
• 1:29:06
  I mean, we still don't know info on that.
• 1:29:11
  Ken, I understand your sentiment,
• 1:29:21
  but it is misguided in this direction.
• 1:29:24
  Why should some athletes get
• 1:29:27
  six cracks at the apple
• 1:29:29
  when other athletes get two?
• 1:29:34
  It becomes who has most money to travel,
• 1:29:37
  who has most time off.
• 1:29:38
  Based on the rules that are
• 1:29:39
  set up at the beginning of the season.
• 1:29:41
  If this happened in the NHL,
• 1:29:43
  I know you're a hockey guy,
• 1:29:45
  and it said you're taking
• 1:29:47
  eight people to the playoffs this year,
• 1:29:50
  and you're Minnesota,
• 1:29:53
  what are they called now?
• 1:29:54
  Wild.
• 1:29:56
  Minnesota Wild are the seventh team,
• 1:29:57
  and they say, you know what,
• 1:29:58
  this year we decided we're
• 1:29:59
  only taking six.
• 1:30:02
  You would be up in arms.
• 1:30:04
  You can't change fields in
• 1:30:06
  different qualifiers in
• 1:30:07
  different parts of the
• 1:30:08
  season partway through the season.
• 1:30:14
  It's asinine.
• 1:30:19
  And they wonder why people
• 1:30:21
  want to compete against them.
• 1:30:24
  Because athletes got
• 1:30:26
  together and put together
• 1:30:27
  this WFP because they were
• 1:30:28
  tired of all of this.
• 1:30:38
  Savannah never had even has
• 1:30:40
  four ransom one night.
• 1:30:41
  This is awesome.
• 1:30:43
  I, I am tired.
• 1:30:44
  I've been a caretaker all week.
• 1:30:46
  My allergies are through the
• 1:30:48
  roof because everybody's
• 1:30:49
  mowing their grass after
• 1:30:50
  eight weeks of rain and five days of sun.
• 1:30:53
  And my allergies can barely take it.
• 1:30:56
  I'm just irritable and
• 1:30:58
  grumpy old man tonight.
• 1:30:59
  Yeah.
• 1:31:04
  Well, with that,
• 1:31:07
  Let's end it here.
• 1:31:08
  Okay.
• 1:31:09
  And I'm going to go get a
• 1:31:10
  honey crisp apple and take
• 1:31:13
  my bite at the apple.
• 1:31:18
  And Jason Bourne says
• 1:31:19
  CrossFit LLC is a joke as well.
• 1:31:23
  That's why I don't get it.
• 1:31:24
  I get that people defending CrossFit.
• 1:31:26
  I get it.
• 1:31:28
  CrossFit saved my life.
• 1:31:29
  Without it, I would not be here today.
• 1:31:31
  I guarantee you that.
• 1:31:34
  would not be here today and
• 1:31:36
  so I love the methodology
• 1:31:37
  and I love what crossfit
• 1:31:38
  has done for me but we have
• 1:31:39
  complained about the season
• 1:31:40
  for years and then someone
• 1:31:42
  comes in to say hey these
• 1:31:44
  are all the things that
• 1:31:45
  have been said about
• 1:31:46
  crossfit we want to do it
• 1:31:47
