  What's going on, everybody?
• 0:30
  Are you ready and fired up for some
• 0:34
  Sunday, Sunday,
• 0:35
  Sunday night CrossFit talk?
• 0:39
  Karen Oprevo, Jamie Latimer,
• 0:40
  and myself are here to talk about all
• 0:42
  the news in the CrossFit space and
• 0:44
  everything kind of going on around it.
• 0:47
  It's been kind of a dud of a
• 0:49
  week for some news.
• 0:51
  We got a couple things,
• 0:53
  so we're going to talk about those.
• 0:54
  And then we're going to turn it over
• 0:55
  to you guys to talk about whatever you
• 0:57
  guys want to.
• 0:59
  And we'll wrap it up with that.
• 1:01
  But I get to come in tonight on
• 1:04
  a victory,
• 1:05
  which for a Penn state and Chicago bears
• 1:08
  fan is very rare.
• 1:09
  Yeah.
• 1:12
  Uh,
• 1:12
  but thank goodness for a blocked field
• 1:14
  goal, um,
• 1:16
  from Josh Blackwell at the very end of
• 1:18
  the game to seal the victory.
• 1:22
  And in a game that we did not
• 1:24
  play to the best of our ability,
• 1:26
  we ended up coming out with a victory.
• 1:29
  That's good.
• 1:31
  Yeah, Lions too.
• 1:32
  I have a question to ask you, though.
• 1:33
  Okay.
• 1:34
  How much grief is Ben Johnson going to
• 1:36
  get?
• 1:36
  Did you see his halftime interview?
• 1:38
  I did not.
• 1:40
  So the interviewer said,
• 1:41
  do you guys need to change in the
• 1:45
  second half?
• 1:47
  And he said, what do you think?
• 1:54
  He's pretty curt.
• 1:56
  That's just the way he is.
• 1:57
  Yeah, he is.
• 1:59
  I've noticed that.
• 2:00
  Yeah.
• 2:00
  Part of me likes it,
• 2:01
  like in the press conferences with the
• 2:03
  local media,
• 2:04
  because they ask the same questions over
• 2:06
  and over again, right?
• 2:08
  So I kind of like it there.
• 2:09
  Not sure it was the best look on
• 2:11
  national TV coming out of halftime.
• 2:15
  Yeah.
• 2:15
  I feel like he did it,
• 2:16
  was it last week too?
• 2:17
  It's a very similar.
• 2:20
  I know one week he skipped it altogether.
• 2:24
  Like he didn't even do the halftime
• 2:26
  interview.
• 2:27
  So,
• 2:28
  but he's been with the lions for years
• 2:31
  and now this is his first year with
• 2:32
  the bears.
• 2:33
  So I just have,
• 2:34
  did you've seen that in him before?
• 2:37
  I don't know.
• 2:38
  I don't know that I noticed.
• 2:39
  I mean, I,
• 2:40
  I don't know that I even like pay
• 2:42
  attention to if he even would speak,
• 2:44
  you get, you get Dan and Dan's like,
• 2:48
  you know, he'll rile you up.
• 2:50
  Like he's, I don't know.
• 2:52
  We're going to bite some ankles and
• 2:53
  kneecap.
• 2:53
  Yeah.
• 2:58
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 3:00
  He is an interesting fellow.
• 3:03
  I mean, he's got one singular focus.
• 3:06
  I don't think he has time to chit-chat.
• 3:08
  That is the role, though,
• 3:10
  of the head coach.
• 3:11
  Like,
• 3:11
  he needs to probably learn that a little
• 3:13
  bit.
• 3:14
  He's been great, like, all season.
• 3:16
  And it's just been in the last couple
• 3:18
  weeks he kind of gets curt with the
• 3:19
  local media,
• 3:20
  and now it seems to be carrying over
• 3:21
  to the national media.
• 3:24
  And so it's just interesting, but...
• 3:26
  On a different note, not football,
• 3:27
  I do have a question for Carolyn.
• 3:31
  So you know I'm a big-time Pittsburgh
• 3:32
  Penguins fan.
• 3:34
  Fleury?
• 3:35
  Yes.
• 3:36
  So Marc-Andre Fleury was their goalkeeper
• 3:39
  the last time they won the Stanley Cup.
• 3:42
  And he retired,
• 3:44
  and then he went to Vegas,
• 3:46
  played for them.
• 3:47
  I think he won a cup in Vegas,
• 3:50
  and then he finished his career in
• 3:51
  Florida, and I think won another cup.
• 3:54
  He played for Minnesota.
• 3:56
  He played for Chicago, I think.
• 3:58
  He went around after for many teams.
• 4:01
  So this weekend,
• 4:02
  the Penguins brought him back on a one-day
• 4:04
  contract and let him play in a preseason
• 4:07
  game so he could say goodbye to the
• 4:09
  Pittsburgh fans.
• 4:10
  Is that typical for hockey?
• 4:15
  He is one of the most popular players
• 4:18
  online.
• 4:20
  um, like in the national hockey league.
• 4:22
  And like, he was like in Pittsburgh, like,
• 4:24
  I don't even know how many years,
• 4:26
  like he was there forever.
• 4:30
  Yeah.
• 4:30
  Forever.
• 4:31
  I mean, it's, it's almost like, you know,
• 4:34
  allowing, um,
• 4:36
  a NBA player to come back to the
• 4:37
  hometown like Kyle Lowry always says that
• 4:40
  he wants to retire Toronto Raptor like
• 4:42
  it's like they come back for you know
• 4:44
  a day contract or something like that I
• 4:46
  feel like it happens in a lot of
• 4:47
  sports in general when you have a team
• 4:50
  that just says taking you in and you
• 4:53
  know you you sign that one day contract
• 4:55
  just to retire there
• 4:58
  Yeah,
• 4:59
  I get I've seen that in football a
• 5:00
  lot.
• 5:01
  Like it's ceremonious.
• 5:02
  They signed the one day contract,
• 5:04
  but he actually took the ice like he
• 5:06
  went out and went in goal for a
• 5:09
  preseason game and played.
• 5:11
  Well, he's a good goalie.
• 5:12
  He's my favorite goalie.
• 5:13
  Yeah,
• 5:16
  I it was just it's something I'd never
• 5:18
  seen before,
• 5:19
  but I did think it was extremely cool.
• 5:22
  Because they put him in the third period.
• 5:24
  So it was the end of his preseason.
• 5:26
  So he's not taking a spot away from
• 5:28
  anybody.
• 5:29
  And the fans got to give him a
• 5:30
  standing ovation, and it was really cool.
• 5:33
  I like him a lot.
• 5:34
  And he's always pranking a couple of his
• 5:37
  teammates specifically.
• 5:38
  Like Sidney Crosby,
• 5:39
  they do pranks back and forth.
• 5:40
  And he put stickers in his .
• 5:43
  . .
• 5:46
  on Sydney's car this weekend.
• 5:48
  And yeah,
• 5:48
  he made sure that if he came back,
• 5:50
  the pranks were continuing.
• 5:52
  So I love it.
• 5:53
  I love it for him though.
• 5:55
  I think if there's a player that deserves
• 5:58
  to just, you know,
• 5:59
  end somewhere and just end it the right
• 6:01
  way, it's,
• 6:02
  he's one of those players that comes to
• 6:03
  mind.
• 6:04
  Like he, he's a great guy.
• 6:06
  Yeah.
• 6:08
  So, um,
• 6:08
  before we get into the CrossFit stuff, uh,
• 6:11
  Jamie, your hip.
• 6:14
  What I didn't realize till after,
• 6:16
  after last week show is how serious this
• 6:19
  surgery is.
• 6:21
  Like your recovery is six months.
• 6:23
  It's not a six week, eight week thing.
• 6:26
  No.
• 6:26
  Yeah.
• 6:27
  It's so it may be like,
• 6:30
  I don't know how to say it.
• 6:31
  It's like less invasive than a total hip
• 6:35
  replacement,
• 6:35
  but the healing is slower than if I
• 6:38
  would have just gotten a total hip
• 6:39
  replacement placement.
• 6:40
  Um,
• 6:43
  Just probably, I don't know.
• 6:44
  Yeah.
• 6:44
  He said like nine months to a year.
• 6:47
  So are you basically out for the next
• 6:48
  year or can you even,
• 6:50
  or do you think you can do parts
• 6:51
  of the open?
• 6:52
  Like, yeah, that'll be very questionable.
• 6:56
  Um, possibly if it's light, it's possible.
• 7:01
  I mean,
• 7:01
  I don't know that we'll know until I
• 7:03
  don't even know that I'll be able to
• 7:04
  do stuff to like four months.
• 7:05
  So I don't even know where I'll be
• 7:08
  at at that point.
• 7:09
  Right.
• 7:09
  Like, um,
• 7:13
  I don't know.
• 7:13
  Try not to think that far down the
• 7:14
  road.
• 7:15
  And really like you need to do what's
• 7:17
  right for your body for longevity.
• 7:19
  Like if this has been bothering you since
• 7:20
  literally like ten years ago.
• 7:23
  Exactly.
• 7:23
  You have to find some time to get
• 7:25
  it done.
• 7:26
  Right.
• 7:27
  And if I'm thinking about the open right
• 7:29
  now, I'm probably pushing things too soon.
• 7:32
  Like that's just not even my thought
• 7:35
  process.
• 7:36
  Like we'll just take a week at a
• 7:38
  time and see where I'm at in PT.
• 7:40
  And I have my follow-up Friday.
• 7:43
  So this coming Friday with the surgeon.
• 7:47
  So we'll see where,
• 7:49
  how are you walking like with help at
• 7:52
  all right now?
• 7:53
  Or like at what stage of this recovery
• 7:55
  are you?
• 7:57
  um i have to have crutches okay so
• 7:58
  because i like that's the slow part is
• 8:03
  like letting the labrum heal not putting
• 8:05
  too much weight on the leg or it
• 8:07
  won't heal um and they shave the bone
• 8:10
  down so like all that like i don't
• 8:12
  know it has to heal over um so
• 8:17
  Yeah.
• 8:17
  I think just like keeping weight off of
• 8:21
  it, um,
• 8:22
  is like the priority four to six weeks
• 8:25
  of crutches.
• 8:26
  Um, I'm, it's hard though.
• 8:29
  Like I, I don't know.
• 8:33
  I probably moved too fast on my crutches.
• 8:34
  I don't know.
• 8:35
  I've never been trained on crutches,
• 8:36
  so I don't even know that I'm doing
• 8:37
  them right.
• 8:38
  And I'm like worried.
• 8:39
  And yes,
• 8:40
  I probably will need to do the other
• 8:41
  hip Denise.
• 8:42
  Um,
• 8:44
  and i worry right now with the way
• 8:46
  i'm like using the one side it's cause
• 8:48
  it's problematic and i don't like that
• 8:50
  like i don't like like i've had the
• 8:53
  compensation patterns like my left knee
• 8:54
  was bothering me because of my right hip
• 8:56
  and like i don't want to cause more
• 8:58
  issues on one side for these next three
• 9:00
  four weeks while i'm gimping around like
• 9:03
  trying to avoid that but it's hard yeah
• 9:09
  let me let me ask you this question
• 9:11
  as a competitor
• 9:13
  is it easier to give up a season
• 9:17
  for your future health as a master's
• 9:19
  athlete, knowing the timeframe is forever,
• 9:24
  then it would be an elite athlete where
• 9:26
  you have like a ticking clock where you
• 9:28
  only have so many years to compete in
• 9:30
  that division.
• 9:32
  Sure.
• 9:33
  I mean, I'm sure.
• 9:33
  Yeah.
• 9:34
  If I was.
• 9:35
  Or when at and like, yeah, that'd be,
• 9:40
  it would be really hard.
• 9:42
  Um,
• 9:43
  Yeah, it is what it is.
• 9:44
  If it, you know,
• 9:45
  if I can't come back for a couple
• 9:47
  of years and then I, you know, whatever,
• 9:50
  I take crack at it when I turned
• 9:51
  for forty five.
• 9:54
  Yeah,
• 9:54
  it is nice knowing that like the Masters
• 9:57
  is around.
• 9:57
  Well, as much as it is around,
• 10:00
  you know,
• 10:01
  things change and it's like frustrating to
• 10:02
  watch.
• 10:03
  I'm trying to not really even like dive
• 10:05
  too much into like what's happening with
• 10:07
  the season because it's like, oh, great.
• 10:08
  There's going to be an in-person one.
• 10:10
  That's what I've been wanting.
• 10:11
  And I probably can't even go do it
• 10:12
  like.
• 10:13
  And it probably won't go well,
• 10:14
  so then we won't have it next year
• 10:15
  when I can come back.
• 10:16
  So it's just like,
• 10:18
  it is what it is.
• 10:21
  Well, it's got to go well.
• 10:23
  Because it's the right thing to do.
• 10:24
  Yeah.
• 10:25
  So it should be back.
• 10:28
  J-Snap, what was your surgery exactly?
• 10:33
  So FAI.
• 10:35
  it's a femoral acetabular impingement um
• 10:39
  so he they did a femoroplasty and a
• 10:42
  acetabularplasty and the labrum
• 10:46
  reconstruction there's like three or four
• 10:48
  anchors in there uh no trish she just
• 10:52
  plays a doctor on tv it's just my
• 10:55
  headphone old school headphones
• 11:00
  I've learned doing this podcast thing.
• 11:01
  It's better to be wired in than to
• 11:04
  be wireless.
• 11:04
  Yeah.
• 11:05
  Because like I have my wire too.
• 11:12
  It never runs out of battery.
• 11:13
  Right.
• 11:15
  Exactly.
• 11:17
  So, and the other thing about your,
• 11:19
  your situation is you're in the third year
• 11:22
  of your division anyway, right?
• 11:23
  Like,
• 11:23
  so it's not like you're in the first
• 11:26
  year in with your best shot, right?
• 11:30
  Although you did just as well.
• 11:34
  Yeah.
• 11:35
  And I feel like I would have done
• 11:36
  really,
• 11:37
  I think I would have done really well
• 11:38
  when I was.
• 11:38
  Yeah, I do.
• 11:39
  I agree.
• 11:42
  So I don't know.
• 11:45
  I try not to look at,
• 11:46
  look at it like that per se,
• 11:47
  but yeah, I get what you're saying.
• 11:48
  Like that I'm getting towards the end of
• 11:50
  this one.
• 11:50
  So it is what it is.
• 11:52
  Yeah.
• 11:53
  But Jason grub one at forty nine.
• 11:54
  So exactly.
• 11:59
  I found that when I came back from
• 12:01
  surgery,
• 12:01
  I was stronger than before the surgery in
• 12:03
  many, many ways.
• 12:05
  Yeah, that's the hope.
• 12:06
  I mean,
• 12:06
  that's kind of been the thing for years.
• 12:09
  Like everyone is just like, well,
• 12:11
  if you could just get stronger,
• 12:13
  what do you think I do?
• 12:14
  Do you like, I mean, I,
• 12:15
  I don't know if people just think I
• 12:17
  like Haley and just do Metcons and run
• 12:19
  and run and that's all I ever did
• 12:21
  and never tried to get stronger.
• 12:23
  I mean, I would do,
• 12:25
  I would squat three, four times a week.
• 12:27
  And maybe that was the issue is like,
• 12:28
  I was just chasing,
• 12:29
  trying to get stronger and squatting in
• 12:31
  particular is what like would kill my
• 12:34
  back.
• 12:34
  And I would just be like hung up
• 12:36
  for three days after,
• 12:38
  after a squat session.
• 12:40
  But yeah, I just, I wasn't making,
• 12:43
  I'm not, I'm not making strength gains.
• 12:45
  I'm not making progress.
• 12:48
  I just hurt myself all the time.
• 12:52
  I wonder if it's because recovery allows
• 12:53
  the body to fully rest.
• 12:55
  And that's something that Jamie never
• 12:57
  does.
• 12:59
  Never.
• 13:00
  And neither does Carolyn.
• 13:02
  But Carolyn does it on a managed schedule,
• 13:06
  I think.
• 13:07
  I mean, I rest twice a week.
• 13:10
  That's true.
• 13:11
  I take two full rest days.
• 13:14
  And sometimes, honestly,
• 13:15
  three rest days in my week,
• 13:16
  depends how busy I am.
• 13:18
  Sometimes I might do Sunday and Monday
• 13:19
  off.
• 13:21
  Whatever I feel like.
• 13:23
  I usually take Thursdays off and then
• 13:29
  Sundays, whatever.
• 13:29
  Shanna,
• 13:29
  all the PT and core work I did
• 13:31
  helped in so many ways.
• 13:34
  There's a lot to be said.
• 13:35
  Like when I first started CrossFit,
• 13:37
  we would have like days where we just
• 13:39
  worked on like the small muscle stuff,
• 13:42
  like the core and the imbalance and
• 13:45
  different things like that,
• 13:46
  where we didn't really focus on a Metcon
• 13:48
  that day.
• 13:49
  And some of those days were harder than
• 13:51
  doing a twenty minute Metcon.
• 14:01
  Jeff Baker, rest when you're dead,
• 14:03
  am I right?
• 14:09
  um so seated strict press i can power
• 14:16
  snatch easy anything i can strict press
• 14:18
  cheat code yeah i'm doing a lot of
• 14:22
  upper body bench press shirt press
• 14:24
  dumbbell just yeah uh there are so many
• 14:30
  things you to work on in recovery you
• 14:32
  can do all ten arm and core stuff
• 14:36
  uh build yourself back from ground up
• 14:40
  yep i do core every day i mean
• 14:44
  as much i can't like really do anything
• 14:46
  but i just basically do miguel curl ups
• 14:48
  and hold that's one that's one of the
• 14:50
  pt exercises i'm doing right now um
• 14:56
  Well, we're with you the whole way.
• 14:58
  We'll follow the journey.
• 15:00
  And it's gonna be a great test of
• 15:04
  the sickness, wellness, fitness continuum.
• 15:11
  You're clear over here,
• 15:13
  so maybe the surgery won't take you all
• 15:15
  the way back and you can get through
• 15:17
  it faster,
• 15:17
  but hopefully we'll be patient along the
• 15:20
  way as well.
• 15:22
  Yeah, I'm trying.
• 15:26
  Um, and Denise says,
• 15:27
  look at those guns already and live at
• 15:30
  the eighty-five percent on those.
• 15:33
  You will see gains.
• 15:35
  And my strict, yeah.
• 15:37
  Strict press spent for our stuff.
• 15:38
  Yeah.
• 15:39
  Yeah.
• 15:41
  so um the last thing i wanted to
• 15:43
  say is fantasy football wise i saw andrew
• 15:46
  stent is going to be at oh and
• 15:47
  four thankfully carolyn doesn't know how
• 15:51
  to use the app yet uh jamie was
• 15:53
  training her tonight and i played carolyn
• 15:56
  this weekend so i might be getting my
• 15:58
  first win yeah because apparently i kept
• 16:00
  two players that were injured so that's
• 16:02
  great that's great in the starting lineup
• 16:05
  yeah you don't want that
• 16:07
  But I had to deal with a week
• 16:08
  of Jeff Baco in every chat telling
• 16:11
  everybody that he beat me.
• 16:13
  I know.
• 16:14
  Every chat in every podcast.
• 16:18
  I know.
• 16:19
  I wasn't that far behind him.
• 16:20
  I was only like five points behind him
• 16:22
  for overall points.
• 16:23
  We're tied on the leaderboard.
• 16:27
  Andrew Sten sat Ashton Gentry,
• 16:29
  who I think had four billion yards rushing
• 16:32
  today.
• 16:33
  Oh, that sucks.
• 16:35
  At what point in the week do I
• 16:36
  have to make my changes?
• 16:38
  Is it before Thursday?
• 16:39
  Because there's like,
• 16:40
  is it Wednesday or in the morning,
• 16:42
  Thursday, anytime before the first game?
• 16:45
  So it all depends on if your players
• 16:47
  are playing in that game.
• 16:49
  Once that position plays,
• 16:52
  you cannot move either the bench player or
• 16:54
  the active player.
• 16:56
  If their team played has started the game.
• 16:59
  Once the game starts.
• 17:01
  So there's Thursday night.
• 17:03
  Right.
• 17:04
  So technically,
• 17:04
  if you had nobody playing on Thursday,
• 17:07
  you can change it all the way up
• 17:08
  to Sunday at noon or one o'clock.
• 17:16
  But it evolves depending on when they
• 17:19
  play.
• 17:21
  So maybe you'll pay more attention.
• 17:26
  Well,
• 17:26
  the first thing I wanted to talk about
• 17:27
  tonight is a little self-promotion for the
• 17:32
  show.
• 17:33
  And that is the service cup went on
• 17:36
  last weekend and the results were posted
• 17:40
  and first place in the educator division.
• 17:43
  No surprise is Carolyn Prevo.
• 17:50
  Congratulations.
• 17:51
  Thank you.
• 17:53
  How many times is this as a winner
• 17:55
  of fittest teacher?
• 17:59
  I think well back then they didn't have
• 18:03
  like they didn't continue it like it would
• 18:04
  just be kind of in the open that
• 18:06
  they would do it um but like when
• 18:10
  I've done an extra thing I think maybe
• 18:13
  third or fourth time at least yeah so
• 18:19
  who's the male counterpart the male
• 18:23
  counterpart is Jacob Mason
• 18:27
  Much closer battle on the men's side.
• 18:29
  Will Carter,
• 18:31
  he went to the games before on a
• 18:32
  team.
• 18:33
  Okay.
• 18:36
  But they were only, uh,
• 18:38
  eleven points apart.
• 18:40
  Where Carolyn Dominick,
• 18:41
  you know those other teachers are going,
• 18:42
  when is that woman gonna retire?
• 18:48
  So, what happens?
• 18:49
  Now do you get to go to Mayhem
• 18:50
  and do a final?
• 18:51
  I haven't had the email yet that, well,
• 18:54
  we had to...
• 18:56
  um send in all five of well it's
• 18:58
  four scores or it's five scores um you
• 19:03
  have to send your video of all of
• 19:05
  them and then send something to prove that
• 19:08
  you're within that field okay like a
• 19:12
  educating certificate or something like
• 19:14
  that and then
• 19:17
  The winning athlete of each division will
• 19:22
  get an email.
• 19:23
  And I think we're supposed to be getting
• 19:24
  all the information.
• 19:25
  And I think the way it works is
• 19:28
  I get to choose anyone in the educator
• 19:30
  division to pair up with me.
• 19:33
  And then I will go in a pair
• 19:36
  with educator against a pair of law
• 19:38
  enforcement, a pair of firefighters,
• 19:40
  a pair of medical officers.
• 19:44
  So I don't know what other one I'm
• 19:45
  missing right now.
• 19:46
  Military.
• 19:48
  So it's not,
• 19:50
  it's not clear whether I'm picking an
• 19:52
  educator or if I can pick anyone from
• 19:54
  any field and we're pairing up.
• 19:56
  I don't have the, the information on it.
• 19:59
  So yes, it's at Mayhem.
• 20:00
  It's November.
• 20:00
  It's November.
• 20:00
  It's November.
• 20:01
  It's November.
• 20:01
  It's November.
• 20:01
  It's November.
• 20:02
  It's November.
• 20:02
  It's November.
• 20:03
  It's November.
• 20:03
  Okay.
• 20:04
  I've had a couple of the educator athletes
• 20:07
  reach out to me saying that they're
• 20:09
  available.
• 20:10
  So I have some decisions to make.
• 20:14
  And you can pick a male or a
• 20:15
  female?
• 20:16
  I think it's two females.
• 20:17
  Okay, so you need to pick a female.
• 20:19
  Got it.
• 20:20
  I just don't know whether you're picking
• 20:21
  from your own division,
• 20:23
  which is what I think.
• 20:24
  I think you want to see who is
• 20:25
  the fittest field versus the fittest pair.
• 20:29
  Yeah.
• 20:30
  So I would assume you pick from your
• 20:32
  field.
• 20:32
  So, yeah.
• 20:35
  That's cool.
• 20:36
  So in talks with some free agents,
• 20:40
  I guess.
• 20:40
  Yeah.
• 20:43
  Larry Young is all medical lumped
• 20:45
  together.
• 20:46
  I believe so.
• 20:47
  Yeah.
• 20:48
  John George, how much Cheddar?
• 20:51
  I think it's all for the love of
• 20:52
  your occupation.
• 20:55
  Last year,
• 20:55
  there was money there last year.
• 20:57
  I think the winning team,
• 20:59
  I don't know what I don't like.
• 21:00
  I don't have any information this year,
• 21:01
  but the winning team last year, I think,
• 21:03
  had like three grand.
• 21:05
  Second place had maybe a thousand and then
• 21:07
  third place,
• 21:08
  maybe five hundred or something like that.
• 21:09
  OK.
• 21:12
  in a nice uh trophy cup that mayhem
• 21:15
  made because i went to go look at
• 21:18
  a youtube video because i just was curious
• 21:20
  on what the hell the event was so
• 21:23
  i wanted to see what kind of events
• 21:24
  they had too last year just to see
• 21:26
  what their style was because i don't know
• 21:31
  if it's more crossfitty if it's more
• 21:35
  um strongman and like kind of carrying
• 21:38
  people i just wanted to see what kind
• 21:39
  of things like you're expected there so
• 21:41
  then i went back on the mayhem video
• 21:43
  from last year and it looked really cool
• 21:45
  i just i think it's two from the
• 21:47
  same division um and yeah there was a
• 21:50
  little prize at the end do they pay
• 21:52
  for you to get out to me or
• 21:55
  is that oh i doubt it okay i'm
• 21:57
  not sure but i would assume no hey
• 22:02
  look at this guys new member
• 22:09
  But yeah, no,
• 22:10
  I doubt that they would pay because that's
• 22:12
  like, that would be way too expensive.
• 22:16
  So let's look at some of the other
• 22:17
  divisions.
• 22:19
  This is CrossFit Professional.
• 22:21
  We have Devin Kopsel was the winner there.
• 22:24
  What is CrossFit Professional?
• 22:27
  I think it's coaches.
• 22:28
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 22:30
  So some of these divisions,
• 22:31
  you're not – so this one,
• 22:33
  the CrossFit professional,
• 22:34
  the CrossFit coach is what it is
• 22:36
  basically.
• 22:37
  You're not moving on to the next round,
• 22:39
  but you were able to participate.
• 22:41
  Did you guys do the Service Cup workouts
• 22:42
  at your affiliate?
• 22:44
  I had a member do them.
• 22:45
  He's in military.
• 22:46
  Okay.
• 22:47
  Cause like I programmed them for CrossFit
• 22:49
  Coliseum.
• 22:50
  So we all did them.
• 22:52
  I didn't,
• 22:52
  I didn't do any of mine with the
• 22:54
  classes cause I did two of them at
• 22:55
  school,
• 22:55
  two of them right after school before like
• 22:59
  classes began, but they all did them.
• 23:01
  They liked them.
• 23:02
  They're good.
• 23:05
  Awesome.
• 23:05
  Ashley,
• 23:05
  Michael won the CrossFit professional
• 23:08
  women.
• 23:08
  Okay.
• 23:10
  And then we have a firefighter.
• 23:16
  Lauren Crocetti.
• 23:21
  And then on the men's side,
• 23:24
  we have Cam Crockett.
• 23:25
  We know Cam.
• 23:26
  A buddy of mine up in Akron.
• 23:29
  He was Amanda Barnhart's training partner.
• 23:33
  Probably five-time semifinal regional
• 23:37
  athlete.
• 23:38
  Brandon Swan.
• 23:40
  Games athlete?
• 23:41
  Brandon Swan from Australia.
• 23:43
  Yeah.
• 23:44
  Yeah,
• 23:45
  he's the one who fell off the rope
• 23:47
  the first time he made the games and
• 23:49
  to get to finish.
• 23:51
  He's a great guy.
• 23:52
  I had him on the show, gosh,
• 23:55
  maybe a couple years ago.
• 23:56
  Super, super awesome guy.
• 23:59
  Great storyteller.
• 24:03
  Brennan Smith sounds familiar too.
• 24:08
  Then we go to law enforcement.
• 24:11
  We have Samuel Paquin.
• 24:17
  Oh, yeah.
• 24:18
  That one sounds really familiar.
• 24:19
  Lee Sharum.
• 24:19
  He was on a team this year with
• 24:21
  the Meat Nugget.
• 24:24
  I can't remember her.
• 24:26
  Jessica Androzek.
• 24:31
  And then on the women's side,
• 24:35
  Megan Apostolaris, friend of the show.
• 24:37
  Good job.
• 24:41
  Royal Canadian Mountie.
• 24:42
  That's awesome.
• 24:46
  And then we have medical,
• 24:49
  which is Alex DeGarmo.
• 24:51
  That name sounds really familiar too.
• 24:52
  That sounds very familiar.
• 24:58
  And then the men,
• 25:00
  we have Tristan Harrison,
• 25:02
  which is a semifinal athlete again,
• 25:06
  last couple of years.
• 25:10
  And military, Jack Rosema,
• 25:15
  may have heard of him.
• 25:19
  dominated women Katie Cunningham and then
• 25:27
  service supporter is this like spouse or
• 25:32
  partner probably just anyone that wants to
• 25:35
  do the workouts I would assume just like
• 25:39
  you want to support and give ten bucks
• 25:42
  that's what I would think
• 25:45
  Yeah, that makes sense.
• 25:49
  Just to, like, pop into the competition.
• 25:51
  So that's Erica Matthews,
• 25:52
  and on the men's side, Christian Vela.
• 25:58
  So, anyway,
• 25:59
  those are your Service Cup winners.
• 26:04
  Jack and Carolyn Shockers, I know.
• 26:09
  And they do have the overall rank.
• 26:11
  So if I do all...
• 26:14
  Jack was the overall winner.
• 26:16
  Cam second.
• 26:19
  Brandon Swan fifth.
• 26:21
  And on the women's side,
• 26:22
  I think Carolyn was, yeah,
• 26:24
  Carolyn won the overall for all service.
• 26:30
  And a pretty decent,
• 26:33
  by a pretty decent chunk of change.
• 26:35
  Like the next educator is fifth place,
• 26:38
  Maddie Edwards.
• 26:39
  So a one and a five,
• 26:40
  that's pretty good.
• 26:41
  I like looking at that.
• 26:43
  We're all stack up.
• 26:44
  Yeah.
• 26:45
  Different.
• 26:46
  Yeah.
• 26:46
  So twenty five point win.
• 26:49
  Not too shabby.
• 26:51
  All right.
• 26:53
  How are the workouts?
• 26:55
  Workouts are good.
• 26:55
  They're accessible.
• 26:57
  No hanging, high-skill movements,
• 27:01
  no handstand push-ups.
• 27:03
  So a lot of dumbbell work, grippy things.
• 27:06
  One of them was a row,
• 27:08
  and then you added fifty feet of farmer
• 27:13
  carry every time.
• 27:13
  So it was like a twenty-minute AMRAP of
• 27:18
  that.
• 27:18
  So anyone can just hop in and do
• 27:20
  that workout.
• 27:22
  Short workout,
• 27:22
  you get a thruster and burpee.
• 27:25
  Workout.
• 27:26
  Twenty one.
• 27:27
  Fifteen nine nine.
• 27:29
  I think it was.
• 27:30
  Yeah.
• 27:33
  Shorter ish.
• 27:34
  Depends, I guess,
• 27:36
  if you like that shorter for some people.
• 27:39
  And then you had a workout that was
• 27:41
  a ten minute.
• 27:43
  Amrap of hang.
• 27:46
  clean and jerk with a barbell into a
• 27:49
  back squat into a toaster bar.
• 27:52
  So it went five, ten back squats,
• 27:54
  fifteen toaster bars.
• 27:55
  And then at the ten minute mark,
• 27:56
  you have five minutes to do a max
• 27:58
  clean.
• 27:59
  Anyhow.
• 28:02
  My only thing I would say for these
• 28:03
  workouts is I'm used to going like
• 28:08
  overhead into a back squat.
• 28:10
  Like I think that's
• 28:12
  a lightweight that we had like eight
• 28:14
  pounds.
• 28:15
  I don't know how it was for other
• 28:16
  members,
• 28:17
  but I don't think that's a move that
• 28:18
  a lot of people practice is to go
• 28:20
  from the overhead position to a back.
• 28:24
  So I would,
• 28:25
  I think it's just a little bit of
• 28:26
  a miss there for the,
• 28:28
  like just the oversight of like safety
• 28:30
  wise of the workout.
• 28:31
  But other than that,
• 28:32
  it was super accessible, fun workouts,
• 28:35
  nothing too crazy.
• 28:37
  Um,
• 28:38
  that five minute went by way too fast.
• 28:41
  I switched my shoes up and even put
• 28:44
  my like, um, wrist wrapping.
• 28:48
  You had like one of them,
• 28:49
  one of my cleans.
• 28:50
  I had one of them on and I'm
• 28:51
  trying to do it on the other one.
• 28:54
  I thought I had way more time than
• 28:57
  I had.
• 28:57
  It was super grippy.
• 28:59
  Yeah.
• 28:59
  A lot of grippy.
• 28:59
  Oh, I'm sorry.
• 29:00
  I'm missing a workout.
• 29:01
  It was, uh, uh,
• 29:03
  dump another one with dumbbells over a
• 29:06
  box, uh,
• 29:07
  It was like eight or ten reps.
• 29:09
  I don't remember.
• 29:10
  Then it was dumbbell snatches,
• 29:11
  maybe like twelve and I think forty eight
• 29:15
  double under six rounds of that.
• 29:16
  So sorry I missed that one.
• 29:17
  Yeah.
• 29:18
  So he did like the toes to bar
• 29:21
  with the max clean and he changed his
• 29:23
  shoes as well.
• 29:24
  Had time for three lifts.
• 29:28
  So that's all you really need.
• 29:31
  I'm glad they brought it back and I'm
• 29:32
  glad that it's being supported and
• 29:36
  I hope you find a good partner and
• 29:38
  we could see some video of you in
• 29:41
  Cookville.
• 29:42
  I haven't been to Cookville since...
• 29:45
  I've only been there once.
• 29:50
  I went there because I competed on a
• 29:52
  team before for Mayhem.
• 29:54
  I haven't been there since,
• 29:55
  so I'm excited.
• 29:58
  Wow.
• 29:58
  It's all different now.
• 29:59
  Yeah, that's what I heard.
• 30:01
  I mean, I've seen also in the videos.
• 30:03
  Yeah.
• 30:05
  Now they have the big athlete-only area,
• 30:07
  and it wasn't there before.
• 30:09
  What's crazy is when Lex was there for
• 30:11
  the Mayhem Classic,
• 30:13
  where that is now was just a big
• 30:15
  tent,
• 30:16
  and a rainstorm came in and flooded the
• 30:17
  whole thing out on one of the days.
• 30:20
  Oh, it was such a mess.
• 30:24
  Yeah.
• 30:25
  And that takes us to the next story,
• 30:27
  and that is being an event organizer and
• 30:30
  how crazy that can be.
• 30:31
  And you have to be special to be
• 30:32
  able to do that.
• 30:34
  And if you have not heard,
• 30:36
  Loud and Live decided to sell the
• 30:38
  Wadapalooza events to a consortium that is
• 30:42
  headed by Dylan Malitzky.
• 30:46
  And I just want to take a minute
• 30:47
  to say that if anybody has earned this
• 30:52
  opportunity, it is Dylan.
• 30:55
  When I started as a volunteer in two
• 30:56
  thousand thirteen,
• 30:58
  he was just starting as an emcee.
• 31:02
  he has worked his he went if you
• 31:05
  don't know a story he went to college
• 31:07
  at university of miami with allison scuds
• 31:10
  and uh noah olsen okay we got connected
• 31:14
  with peak and guido trinidad and he
• 31:19
  started volunteering with wataplooza miami
• 31:21
  then then they asked him to go on
• 31:24
  the mic and he did not want to
• 31:25
  do it he didn't think he'd be good
• 31:27
  at it if you've ever heard dylan at
• 31:29
  an event he is the best
• 31:32
  It takes a special talent not to say
• 31:34
  the same things all day long.
• 31:36
  And he is so good at it.
• 31:39
  I recognize his voice every time he's on
• 31:41
  the mic.
• 31:42
  He has a voice that you recognize.
• 31:47
  And you can't say that about a lot
• 31:48
  of people in the space because you'll hear
• 31:51
  a lot of voices at different events.
• 31:52
  But yeah, he's good.
• 31:54
  And in all my time in the space,
• 31:56
  I've never heard someone say a bad word
• 31:57
  about Dylan.
• 32:01
  He comes on shows even though he hates
• 32:03
  it.
• 32:05
  He participates in things.
• 32:07
  He's always available at events to make
• 32:09
  sure you're doing okay.
• 32:11
  And I've known him since we were both
• 32:14
  volunteers.
• 32:16
  So I've known him since...
• 32:19
  I think it's when we first worked at
• 32:20
  an event together.
• 32:22
  And I'm just super happy for him.
• 32:25
  And in the story that the barbell spin
• 32:26
  broke, he talked to Dylan and everybody...
• 32:32
  On this consortium,
• 32:34
  Does CrossFit has competed at Wadapalooza
• 32:38
  and works out an affiliate,
• 32:42
  which is pretty freaking cool.
• 32:46
  So, I mean,
• 32:49
  it's just like a band of people that
• 32:51
  got together and came up with money.
• 32:54
  Yeah.
• 32:54
  It happens all the time.
• 32:55
  Like in sports,
• 32:57
  usually nobody has the amount of money to
• 32:59
  buy like an NFL team consortium that comes
• 33:02
  together, pulls their money.
• 33:04
  Dylan was named the director of Waza
• 33:08
  sports, which is what it's called now.
• 33:11
  And he is a partner of the group.
• 33:15
  A lot of liveness,
• 33:16
  both the SoCal and the Miami one.
• 33:18
  Both were sold.
• 33:20
  Both were sold.
• 33:23
  And what was Loud and Live in charge
• 33:26
  of?
• 33:26
  The media part of it?
• 33:29
  So Loud and Live is a big company
• 33:31
  for event planning in Miami.
• 33:33
  And the CrossFit stuff just kind of became
• 33:37
  part of their portfolio.
• 33:39
  But really,
• 33:39
  they just let O'Keefe and or Dylan run
• 33:44
  the CrossFit stuff.
• 33:46
  But in Miami,
• 33:47
  they're like a big event coordinator,
• 33:49
  like for celebrities,
• 33:51
  for a lot of different things like that.
• 33:54
  So it probably didn't fit their portfolio
• 33:57
  anymore.
• 33:59
  And so they just were going to be.
• 34:01
  And if someone was interested in buying it
• 34:03
  and Dylan has put so much time and
• 34:05
  effort into this to grow it,
• 34:07
  why not give it to the person who
• 34:09
  is invested in it and let him own
• 34:10
  it?
• 34:12
  And it makes more sense to them.
• 34:14
  Plus it gives Loud and Live some cashflow.
• 34:16
  So who knows what they're trying to do
• 34:18
  otherwise,
• 34:19
  but it gives them pretty immediately some
• 34:22
  cashflow.
• 34:23
  But I'm just happy it's him.
• 34:24
  Like he's just, he's just a good dude.
• 34:27
  And, you know,
• 34:28
  he grew up through all the stuff that
• 34:31
  we did and, and gets what it is.
• 34:37
  So I put in the rundown of,
• 34:42
  the sneaky big news around this.
• 34:44
  So Dylan bought this with his group right
• 34:48
  before SoCal.
• 34:50
  So the sale was done.
• 34:53
  We see that all of the CrossFit HQ
• 34:55
  people were at Wadapalooza SoCal.
• 34:59
  Some of them who have never been to
• 35:01
  a Wadapalooza event ever in their time at
• 35:03
  CrossFit.
• 35:06
  Do you see this leading to even more
• 35:10
  and bigger partnerships with CrossFit?
• 35:15
  Well, there's already one with the open,
• 35:16
  I guess, with that partnership.
• 35:18
  Are you saying like CrossFit would want to
• 35:20
  run anything with them?
• 35:21
  Cause I feel like CrossFit is extremely
• 35:23
  hands-off for.
• 35:26
  I think that now you have an event
• 35:29
  director who can help put on events and
• 35:33
  They have all of the equipment,
• 35:35
  like the lighting and the stuff that they
• 35:39
  take from venue to venue,
• 35:42
  or they have the resources or the
• 35:44
  connections to get all of that stuff,
• 35:47
  right?
• 35:48
  And once you become a bigger company that
• 35:52
  does it for more than like two events
• 35:54
  or three events,
• 35:55
  but now maybe you do it for five
• 35:57
  or six or seven events,
• 35:58
  that can become a cheaper overhead.
• 36:01
  Right, right.
• 36:04
  So you think maybe this will be the
• 36:06
  group that puts on the local semifinals in
• 36:09
  the U.S.
• 36:10
  here?
• 36:12
  I just think that it could lead to
• 36:14
  more.
• 36:18
  Like they could help with the games.
• 36:21
  They could help with the setup of the
• 36:22
  games.
• 36:23
  They could help with.
• 36:25
  different lighting.
• 36:25
  They could help with different just to
• 36:27
  change things up.
• 36:28
  Right.
• 36:29
  It's just different ideas.
• 36:31
  They could, you know,
• 36:32
  Dylan has done a great job of maximizing
• 36:35
  the footprint he had, like in Miami.
• 36:38
  If you've never been to the,
• 36:39
  the original water Palooza site,
• 36:42
  he got every square inch of that park
• 36:45
  used for water Palooza.
• 36:50
  And just to have that knowledge of like
• 36:53
  how to plan that footprint and
• 36:55
  And I only say that,
• 36:56
  and this is not a dig on CrossFit,
• 36:58
  really.
• 36:59
  You go to Madison,
• 37:01
  there was a lot of empty space, right?
• 37:05
  And it was really kind of spread out.
• 37:08
  If you like pulled that in a little
• 37:10
  bit and got the community closer together,
• 37:13
  I think it just changes the dynamic of
• 37:15
  how it looks, how it feels,
• 37:17
  how the vendors may be excited about it,
• 37:21
  things like that.
• 37:26
  Yeah, I mean,
• 37:26
  it could certainly be in talks.
• 37:30
  Who knows what's in talks with CrossFit
• 37:32
  right now?
• 37:34
  Yeah.
• 37:39
  Denise,
• 37:41
  Wadapalooza understands how to draw
• 37:42
  spectators in.
• 37:45
  How much are tickets for Wadapalooza?
• 37:48
  Everything's always expensive for
• 37:50
  Wadapalooza.
• 37:52
  But they have the free day.
• 37:55
  And I think that's key.
• 37:57
  That's a big deal.
• 38:00
  And they started going into a tiered
• 38:02
  ticketing system too.
• 38:05
  Like Madison,
• 38:07
  like you would have like a festival ticket
• 38:10
  that was fifty bucks a day and then
• 38:12
  you'd have the VIP ticket that was like
• 38:14
  three hundred bucks a day.
• 38:18
  Now their VIP area was beach bars, um,
• 38:23
  up on the top of the thing,
• 38:25
  like really well done and well thought
• 38:29
  out.
• 38:29
  Right.
• 38:33
  Um,
• 38:38
  Chris,
• 38:38
  CrossFit is finally realizing that having
• 38:40
  partners is a good thing.
• 38:42
  The same old model doesn't work,
• 38:43
  so let's counter WFP and partner with
• 38:47
  someone who supports CrossFit.
• 38:52
  I don't think you need to counter WFP.
• 38:55
  I don't think.
• 38:59
  Yeah.
• 39:00
  I mean, on one hand,
• 39:02
  the problem always lies in the more people
• 39:05
  you bring in,
• 39:06
  the more
• 39:08
  the more information gets out ahead of
• 39:10
  time because you're bringing in a whole
• 39:12
  nother group to loop them in.
• 39:15
  Well,
• 39:16
  I'm not even saying like that they have
• 39:17
  to be a part of like the strategy.
• 39:20
  They just have resources, right?
• 39:22
  But they have to for floor setup.
• 39:24
  Like they have to.
• 39:27
  You're thinking floor setup.
• 39:28
  I'm thinking venue setup.
• 39:32
  Yeah.
• 39:32
  Yeah.
• 39:34
  But I mean, if you start, I mean,
• 39:36
  I guess you can keep things very vague,
• 39:37
  but like you start talking about, hey,
• 39:39
  I need a seventy foot floor and I
• 39:42
  need and I need some of a turf
• 39:43
  or we start like start adding elements.
• 39:47
  I mean, yeah,
• 39:47
  you could probably still keep it super
• 39:48
  vague, but.
• 39:50
  When you can keep that in house,
• 39:52
  if you wanted to.
• 39:52
  Yeah.
• 39:53
  And just but just the whole like footprint
• 39:56
  of the event is.
• 40:00
  I don't know.
• 40:01
  I think it's a good thing.
• 40:02
  The more partners you have,
• 40:04
  the more people with expertise and
• 40:06
  knowledge and you don't have to bring on
• 40:07
  every member of, of water Palooza sport.
• 40:11
  You could just like say, Hey Dylan,
• 40:12
  can you help us out with X, Y,
• 40:14
  and Z and bring in one person or
• 40:17
  I don't know.
• 40:17
  It just,
• 40:20
  it was exciting to me because I think
• 40:21
  it opens up the avenues of some new
• 40:24
  and exciting things.
• 40:24
  I tell you what, go ahead.
• 40:27
  You know who needs to bring them in?
• 40:29
  is legends they need that footprint was
• 40:36
  terrible right vendor space every like
• 40:40
  just not laid out well it wasn't laid
• 40:44
  out well at all like they were all
• 40:45
  the way at the end and like the
• 40:48
  specters didn't even have to go there at
• 40:49
  all and see anything nope there was no
• 40:53
  reason for it where it was
• 40:55
  We just don't have any sponsors in the
• 40:56
  space right now.
• 40:57
  I just feel like it's hard to get
• 41:00
  sponsors.
• 41:01
  It's too expensive.
• 41:02
  We're charging too much.
• 41:05
  Tickets are too much and charging the
• 41:07
  sponsors too much to have a booth there.
• 41:10
  And I think if you have more sponsors,
• 41:12
  first of all,
• 41:13
  it helps with the event and draws people
• 41:15
  in because they can go and see a
• 41:17
  bunch of different vendors.
• 41:19
  I just think we have a problem with
• 41:20
  pricing, which we talked about previously.
• 41:23
  I will bang the drum forever.
• 41:25
  The Waterpalooza's free day makes the
• 41:28
  vendors so happy.
• 41:30
  And I guess at SoCal,
• 41:31
  the vendor village is outside of where
• 41:34
  your ticketing is.
• 41:36
  So if you just want to go shop,
• 41:38
  it's right out front.
• 41:39
  Yeah.
• 41:47
  Denise said Yeti was a sponsor and wasn't
• 41:49
  even there.
• 41:51
  You know what I love?
• 41:51
  I hate about Yeti is I was at
• 41:53
  the games.
• 41:54
  Yeti in vendor village.
• 41:55
  This is in Madison.
• 41:57
  They had a big booth set up with
• 41:58
  all the different colored Yeti cups and
• 42:00
  all the sizes and all the shapes and
• 42:02
  all the stuff.
• 42:04
  And I love yet.
• 42:05
  And I wanted a Yeti bottle and I
• 42:07
  went in to buy one.
• 42:08
  They weren't selling them there.
• 42:11
  They just made a big display and like,
• 42:13
  go to the website and buy it.
• 42:16
  Wow.
• 42:19
  Well,
• 42:19
  you just lost me because I was going
• 42:21
  to hand you a credit card right here,
• 42:22
  but I'm not going to get online and
• 42:24
  have it shipped to my house.
• 42:26
  They didn't want to bring inventory.
• 42:31
  But they had all the cool colors.
• 42:38
  Yeah.
• 42:38
  Andrew said,
• 42:39
  I will say Legends got screwed by some
• 42:41
  sponsors that came from the CrossFit side.
• 42:45
  Yeah,
• 42:47
  I know that when I've talked to people,
• 42:50
  not necessarily at Legends,
• 42:51
  but other groups that have worked with
• 42:53
  CrossFit,
• 42:54
  they only got so many slots to get
• 42:57
  sponsors or people in the vendor village.
• 43:00
  And then CrossFit left X number open for
• 43:03
  themselves because it's still called the
• 43:06
  CrossFit age group CrossFit games.
• 43:13
  But that shouldn't have impacted the
• 43:15
  footprint.
• 43:19
  So, all right.
• 43:23
  WFP made an announcement this week when
• 43:25
  Will Morad was on with Peter of Coffee
• 43:28
  Pods and Wads.
• 43:30
  They announced finals will be nine events.
• 43:33
  This is Copenhagen.
• 43:34
  This is the road we've been following for
• 43:36
  a while.
• 43:39
  And it is laid out over four days.
• 43:42
  Day one will be a swim and one
• 43:43
  other event.
• 43:45
  Day two will be project one,
• 43:47
  their community event,
• 43:48
  but they're also making the athletes do it
• 43:50
  as well.
• 43:51
  And then one event,
• 43:52
  then day three will be three events and
• 43:55
  day four will be two events.
• 43:59
  I felt like we already knew that
• 44:00
  information.
• 44:01
  We already knew that there was nine events
• 44:02
  in a swim there.
• 44:03
  So I don't know what,
• 44:04
  I guess we just know how many days
• 44:06
  have how many events.
• 44:07
  That's the only new information.
• 44:08
  And the project one.
• 44:09
  And the project one.
• 44:11
  What is project one?
• 44:12
  It is a community workout.
• 44:14
  I think it's already been announced.
• 44:16
  Like the athletes would already know what
• 44:18
  it is?
• 44:18
  I think so.
• 44:21
  I'd have to double check.
• 44:22
  I don't want to, I don't want to,
• 44:24
  I shouldn't have said yes.
• 44:25
  Yeah.
• 44:26
  I'm not sure either.
• 44:27
  I don't, yeah.
• 44:27
  I don't know if they had something to
• 44:29
  do with their community stuff that they
• 44:33
  were doing all along or if it's, yeah,
• 44:35
  I don't know.
• 44:39
  What about, I'm sorry.
• 44:41
  Okay.
• 44:41
  We'll finish this and I'll come back to
• 44:43
  the question.
• 44:44
  John asked a great question and I want
• 44:45
  to pose it out there.
• 44:48
  So anyway,
• 44:51
  Yeah, no,
• 44:52
  there was like that community stuff going
• 44:55
  on throughout the season, right?
• 44:57
  Like there was like a strength community
• 44:59
  and then like a gymnastics community.
• 45:01
  I don't know if this – I don't
• 45:03
  understand what Project One is or what
• 45:05
  they're trying to accomplish with it.
• 45:07
  But it's a community event.
• 45:08
  Yes.
• 45:09
  And the workout that they're using for it,
• 45:11
  they actually are now programming as part
• 45:13
  of the finals.
• 45:15
  So the elite athletes will be doing the
• 45:17
  same workout that the community is doing.
• 45:21
  What that means, I don't know.
• 45:27
  So after watching,
• 45:31
  and I'm assuming you watched the Will
• 45:33
  Morad interview with Peter,
• 45:37
  are you gaining any more confidence in the
• 45:39
  WFP?
• 45:44
  No.
• 45:48
  Will is just like a good talker.
• 45:52
  Like,
• 45:54
  I don't know that I'm getting any
• 45:55
  information out of him.
• 45:59
  I thought he was better in the interview
• 46:00
  than he's been in other ones.
• 46:03
  I thought that he was smoother and not
• 46:06
  necessarily.
• 46:07
  And I thought he seemed more open with
• 46:12
  his responses.
• 46:15
  Because you guys are cutting out for me.
• 46:19
  I think that's on your end, Carolyn.
• 46:20
  Yeah, your internet is breaking up.
• 46:23
  Because I Googled Project One WFP,
• 46:27
  and there's a workout that comes out also.
• 46:30
  So I don't know if it's the same
• 46:31
  one or not.
• 46:32
  Yeah, that's probably it.
• 46:33
  That's it.
• 46:41
  So I didn't gain any more trust with
• 46:48
  Will.
• 46:48
  Yeah.
• 46:49
  Yeah.
• 46:50
  Um, one,
• 46:51
  because to say that the rumors were made
• 46:54
  up when I'm one of the people who
• 46:55
  left,
• 46:56
  put out a rumor and I know the
• 46:58
  people I talk to,
• 46:59
  and I know the people I talk to
• 47:01
  are close enough to the situation to have
• 47:05
  a better understanding than, than I do.
• 47:09
  So that I was biased in it.
• 47:15
  Um,
• 47:16
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 47:16
  I just hear that stuff and I just
• 47:18
  sort of roll my eyes.
• 47:19
  Like, I just think he's, I don't know,
• 47:21
  just sounds like lip service to me.
• 47:26
  I do think they have a PR thing
• 47:28
  they need to work out.
• 47:30
  Yeah.
• 47:31
  Carolyn, you've just,
• 47:32
  you've gotten clearer visually.
• 47:35
  Can you hear us?
• 47:36
  Yeah, I'm trying to move my thingy around.
• 47:39
  I can hear you guys now.
• 47:41
  I can hear you guys are talking about
• 47:43
  the interview with Will Moran.
• 47:44
  Yes.
• 47:44
  Okay.
• 47:45
  Yeah.
• 47:48
  But even though I don't fully trust what
• 47:52
  he's saying,
• 47:53
  I can look at it and appreciate what
• 47:56
  he's trying to do with WFP.
• 48:00
  And as I've said forever,
• 48:02
  I want all the athletes to have all
• 48:04
  the opportunities and I want them to,
• 48:06
  but I, I also don't want,
• 48:12
  I don't want them to be forced to
• 48:14
  give up other opportunities just for that
• 48:16
  one.
• 48:20
  But anyway, I, I mean,
• 48:24
  I get where Will's coming from.
• 48:26
  If they get big enough where they're able
• 48:28
  to pay enough, then yeah,
• 48:29
  it would be exclusive.
• 48:30
  And it would be.
• 48:31
  You would just make that choice as an
• 48:33
  athlete.
• 48:34
  What is more important to you?
• 48:36
  A guaranteed contract or going to become
• 48:39
  the fittest center?
• 48:39
  I guess you got to make that decision.
• 48:45
  I don't see an issue with it,
• 48:46
  per se.
• 48:48
  I just... I don't know that it's...
• 48:52
  Again...
• 48:53
  business-mindedly like i don't see where
• 48:55
  they're i i think he's on to something
• 48:58
  with the like you need to get big
• 49:00
  enough to where the city wants you there
• 49:03
  and that venue is that's one thing that
• 49:06
  has kind of always confused me about the
• 49:08
  space like why why are we huh we
• 49:13
  had it madison wanted us there yeah and
• 49:16
  i don't know why you wouldn't you just
• 49:18
  take that like if you can get the
• 49:19
  venue for free
• 49:22
  that's that's got to save you several
• 49:23
  hundred thousand dollars like that you put
• 49:25
  that into the prize purse they need to
• 49:28
  work with the city to come up with
• 49:29
  a permanent outdoor piece to that somehow
• 49:35
  some way yep whether it's on that property
• 49:40
  or somewhere else and i do like that
• 49:43
  that will did say that their goal is
• 49:45
  to be make their tour stops in the
• 49:47
  same place so they can develop
• 49:49
  relationships with the city
• 49:51
  and get that partnership.
• 49:53
  And that's what legends told me they were
• 49:55
  trying to do in Columbus.
• 49:59
  Well,
• 49:59
  year one is all about building your
• 50:01
  reputation, right?
• 50:02
  Cause no one knows what this league was
• 50:05
  outside of our little CrossFit community.
• 50:08
  So it's hard to sell without having,
• 50:10
  you know,
• 50:10
  multiple years of data to back up and
• 50:13
  then to show to a city.
• 50:15
  Um, so yeah.
• 50:24
  I do think they need to be forthcoming
• 50:26
  with what first place is going to get
• 50:30
  next year.
• 50:33
  Talks to Phil B's comment here.
• 50:35
  Yeah.
• 50:35
  I don't understand why they wouldn't post
• 50:37
  the season contracts.
• 50:38
  It will get more athletes interested.
• 50:40
  Well, you know what you're fighting for.
• 50:41
  You know what the pro card is worth.
• 50:43
  Right now, we don't know exactly.
• 50:45
  I mean,
• 50:46
  you know what it's worth if you get
• 50:48
  last place at each one and what the
• 50:49
  minimum you could get,
• 50:51
  and I guess what the top,
• 50:52
  but you don't really know what the
• 50:53
  guaranteed are.
• 50:56
  And that's the thing that's drawing people
• 50:58
  in is having that guaranteed income.
• 51:03
  And also, I mean,
• 51:05
  this year you could –
• 51:07
  negotiate i guess maybe a little bit your
• 51:08
  contracts based off of things but the
• 51:11
  following year is just going to be based
• 51:13
  off of your ranking from this season and
• 51:15
  and then so on but yeah i think
• 51:19
  that that number should be published a
• 51:22
  little bit just to see where it helps
• 51:25
  people make decisions well like in the nba
• 51:30
  or the the nfl they have tiered contracts
• 51:33
  like yeah
• 51:35
  If you're drafted sixth,
• 51:37
  you're going to make between,
• 51:39
  and they pretty much know down to like
• 51:42
  a couple dollars what that athlete's going
• 51:44
  to make.
• 51:46
  Now,
• 51:46
  what may get negotiated that we don't know
• 51:48
  are like incentives or benefits or things
• 51:52
  like that or just different language.
• 51:58
  But the money, you pretty much know.
• 52:00
  So I don't understand why they don't
• 52:03
  publish the money.
• 52:03
  Yeah.
• 52:05
  If you want to be called a pro
• 52:07
  sport, that is what pro sports do.
• 52:10
  Every contract is public.
• 52:14
  For the new women's professional league,
• 52:16
  they didn't put the contracts in the first
• 52:19
  year,
• 52:19
  but I know that that's something that
• 52:20
  they're going to be putting now just so
• 52:23
  athletes and their agents can...
• 52:27
  go to the table with the team and
• 52:28
  be like, Hey, this is my player.
• 52:30
  This is what they're making.
• 52:31
  But you couldn't really do that when,
• 52:33
  when the contracts aren't public.
• 52:37
  Uh, John, I don't think it's guaranteed.
• 52:39
  Even if you're hurt,
• 52:40
  I believe that the guaranteed money is
• 52:42
  only if you show up at the event,
• 52:45
  it was described on one podcast as if
• 52:47
  you show up to two out of three
• 52:49
  events,
• 52:50
  you will get sixty six percent of your
• 52:51
  guarantee.
• 52:53
  Yeah.
• 52:54
  But I think that's why you're getting some
• 52:56
  people showing up for a day of events
• 52:59
  and then withdrawing.
• 53:01
  But the thing is also like,
• 53:02
  not only are they getting the money is
• 53:05
  paid,
• 53:05
  like their trip is paid for like their
• 53:07
  travel and stuff.
• 53:08
  Like that's a huge thing as well.
• 53:11
  Cause we don't have that anywhere else,
• 53:13
  but the rogue invitational.
• 53:15
  Right.
• 53:15
  Right.
• 53:17
  So like you can't fault it.
• 53:19
  Like these athletes have like this great
• 53:21
  opportunity in front of them where it's
• 53:22
  guaranteed money.
• 53:23
  Their trip is paid for.
• 53:24
  You don't have any qualifiers to do just
• 53:26
  show up.
• 53:27
  Like why would you say no?
• 53:29
  Like it's hard not to.
• 53:30
  Um, Phil, we,
• 53:35
  we talked about that next year would be
• 53:36
  by finish.
• 53:39
  And if this year was different, right.
• 53:42
  And they get a Letterman jacket.
• 53:45
  Um,
• 53:47
  So anyway, enough about that.
• 53:52
  We have him in Factor Fiction,
• 53:54
  so we'll probably finish up there.
• 53:58
  But I did have a question from John
• 53:59
  George that I wanted to ask a question
• 54:02
  going back a little bit.
• 54:03
  Was it the Jim Reapers?
• 54:04
  No.
• 54:05
  Oh, yeah, I saw.
• 54:09
  How about Wadapalooza do the Masters games
• 54:13
  paired with the Tier Cup?
• 54:20
  So like at nighttime,
• 54:21
  the primetime event is the tier cup.
• 54:24
  And then during the day is the masters
• 54:25
  CrossFit games and make it age group.
• 54:27
  Yeah.
• 54:28
  Yeah.
• 54:34
  I mean,
• 54:35
  I'm not sure I'd want the age group
• 54:37
  games in the sand.
• 54:38
  No.
• 54:40
  Um, that's so I,
• 54:42
  I think we'd have to tweak it a
• 54:43
  bit, but, um, I don't know.
• 54:46
  What are your thoughts?
• 54:51
  I think that could be huge to get...
• 54:54
  I think that would bring in a lot
• 54:57
  more spectators.
• 54:57
  It would bring in a lot of people.
• 55:00
  And I think Columbus...
• 55:01
  I don't see why that wouldn't work in
• 55:03
  Columbus.
• 55:06
  Wouldn't be maybe as fun for the Tier
• 55:09
  Cup athletes, but...
• 55:15
  I don't know how much you guys explored
• 55:16
  in Columbus.
• 55:17
  If you walked out of that door and
• 55:19
  went straight...
• 55:20
  for two blocks there's the hockey arena
• 55:24
  the baseball stadium and the soccer
• 55:26
  stadium yeah i saw that part so the
• 55:30
  the last two are outdoor things that you
• 55:34
  could do like a tear cup outside and
• 55:38
  you wouldn't have the marine layer come in
• 55:40
  on the floor at night yeah yeah that
• 55:46
  was like dangerous
• 55:53
  And Denise is probably right.
• 55:55
  Is Waterpalooza willing to give up all the
• 55:57
  money the community and other divisions
• 55:58
  bring in?
• 56:04
  Yeah, probably not.
• 56:04
  I mean, they have Miami, which would stay,
• 56:07
  I mean, I don't know.
• 56:12
  I think it's a cool idea.
• 56:14
  I don't think it'll ever happen.
• 56:15
  Yeah.
• 56:16
  But I do think it's a cool idea.
• 56:19
  But I like,
• 56:19
  why not try to partner the age group
• 56:22
  games with something else like that?
• 56:25
  Exactly.
• 56:36
  Miami and SoCal are also big draws as
• 56:38
  destinations.
• 56:39
  What are you saying, Andrew,
• 56:40
  that nobody wants to come to Columbus?
• 56:41
  Yes.
• 56:47
  Oh, somebody's got to spoil it for me.
• 56:49
  I haven't watched it yet.
• 56:50
  Sprague and Gerrard golf outing.
• 56:53
  Who won?
• 56:54
  Did James win?
• 56:55
  I haven't seen it yet.
• 56:57
  Oh,
• 56:57
  I'll watch it when I get off here.
• 56:58
  I had it queued up.
• 56:59
  I was getting ready to watch that.
• 57:03
  But he's just self-proclaiming that those
• 57:06
  two are the best in the men's field,
• 57:07
  but there's other golfers in the men's
• 57:09
  field.
• 57:11
  I guess somebody better step up and say
• 57:13
  they're good and go challenge him.
• 57:16
  I bet you to dig it, Jason,
• 57:17
  like of the podium finishers,
• 57:20
  they're the two best golfers and they're
• 57:21
  battling it out.
• 57:22
  Yeah.
• 57:27
  But I could be wrong.
• 57:33
  Fact or fiction,
• 57:34
  I did not get into the system today.
• 57:37
  I had an errand to run.
• 57:38
  So I'm just going to read them out
• 57:40
  loud.
• 57:42
  Fact or fiction, number one.
• 57:45
  Potential semifinals should be allowed to
• 57:48
  partner with other comps to give automatic
• 57:51
  bids to their competition.
• 57:55
  And the reason I ask this is because
• 57:58
  Carolyn told me to.
• 58:00
  But more importantly,
• 58:02
  let me pull up the post.
• 58:12
  Maybe my search and Instagram is not
• 58:16
  moving fast.
• 58:17
  Anyway,
• 58:17
  Northern California classic put out a
• 58:20
  post.
• 58:20
  If it comes up,
• 58:21
  I'll pull it up where they said that
• 58:25
  if you compete in this event and you
• 58:28
  win,
• 58:29
  you get an automatic bid to the NorCal
• 58:31
  classic.
• 58:32
  The crash crucible or crash camp,
• 58:34
  whatever it's called.
• 58:35
  Yeah.
• 58:36
  So if you win the crash camp,
• 58:38
  you get an automatic bid to NorCal
• 58:40
  classic, which is next year.
• 58:43
  Correct.
• 58:44
  And it's assumed if you look at the
• 58:46
  dates and times of everything,
• 58:48
  NorCal has put out that it will be
• 58:50
  a semifinal again.
• 58:52
  So should you get an automatic bid by
• 58:55
  doing a competition this year for the
• 58:58
  CrossFit game season next year,
• 59:01
  or should they have to go through the
• 59:02
  open traditional way?
• 59:06
  It's more so like that field's already
• 59:08
  set.
• 59:08
  The qualifier already happened for crash.
• 59:10
  Yeah.
• 59:11
  And after the fact,
• 59:13
  these people are getting invites when no
• 59:15
  one else even knew that that was going
• 59:16
  to be an opportunity.
• 59:18
  That's where I have issues with a lot
• 59:22
  of times is just the invites that just
• 59:24
  kind of come out of nowhere.
• 59:26
  And it's like, oh, well,
• 59:27
  if I knew or if this...
• 59:32
  Because they have their qualifier that
• 59:34
  they normally do in January,
• 59:36
  which they're pre...
• 59:41
  tickets price whatever should be coming
• 59:43
  out soon and then they have their december
• 59:45
  price um so you have your qualifier
• 59:47
  already what's the like i feel like you
• 59:50
  have your qualifier and then or the open
• 59:52
  or something like i just want the routes
• 59:54
  to kind of be similar i just find
• 59:56
  that every semi-final does their own type
• 59:58
  of qualification and it's very confusing
• 1:00:02
  and hard to follow
• 1:00:04
  And I think if it was everyone was
• 1:00:06
  like through the open or through the open
• 1:00:08
  or their qualifier and it's not.
• 1:00:11
  Well, if you went to this event,
• 1:00:12
  that's also a spot.
• 1:00:14
  I think it just becomes too confusing and
• 1:00:18
  hard to keep up with.
• 1:00:20
  Yeah,
• 1:00:20
  that's been a thing in the Masters realm
• 1:00:22
  for a while now.
• 1:00:24
  And you in like kind of with Rogue,
• 1:00:26
  right?
• 1:00:27
  Like.
• 1:00:27
  you don't even know,
• 1:00:29
  do I need to get fourth?
• 1:00:30
  Do I need to get six?
• 1:00:31
  Like how many people are they even taking
• 1:00:32
  from this qualifier?
• 1:00:33
  Like that kind of stuff is annoying
• 1:00:36
  because you don't know how many people
• 1:00:37
  they're inviting.
• 1:00:39
  And that like,
• 1:00:40
  I've noticed that in some masters comps,
• 1:00:42
  like maybe they're inviting six people.
• 1:00:45
  Maybe they're inviting three,
• 1:00:46
  like this age group gets.
• 1:00:49
  From the qualifier.
• 1:00:50
  This age group gets from the qualifier.
• 1:00:51
  There's no rhyme or reason.
• 1:00:52
  You aren't even sure.
• 1:00:55
  And more importantly, like I, I,
• 1:00:57
  I would say fact,
• 1:00:59
  I would say fact if it was all
• 1:01:02
  laid out and it wasn't post like the
• 1:01:07
  qualifier happening.
• 1:01:08
  Like if you'd said this is going to
• 1:01:10
  be a thing for next year and then
• 1:01:12
  you do it.
• 1:01:13
  Before the crush qualifier.
• 1:01:15
  Yes.
• 1:01:16
  Then I don't see really any issue with
• 1:01:18
  it.
• 1:01:18
  Like everyone should know.
• 1:01:20
  that if you go to crash and win,
• 1:01:22
  you have an opportunity.
• 1:01:23
  Now,
• 1:01:23
  I would say opportunity because I still
• 1:01:25
  don't think they should get an automatic
• 1:01:26
  bid.
• 1:01:27
  I think they still need to do the
• 1:01:29
  open and – because you need –
• 1:01:35
  Cause right now you can bypass the open
• 1:01:37
  according to this.
• 1:01:39
  You could buy now, I don't know,
• 1:01:41
  maybe to get a spot to the games
• 1:01:43
  and it's similar to what the semifinals
• 1:01:45
  was this year.
• 1:01:46
  Like you have to,
• 1:01:47
  you can be at the semifinal without doing
• 1:01:49
  the open or quarterfinals,
• 1:01:51
  but if you have your spot, it's, it's,
• 1:01:54
  it's that ghee scenario, right?
• 1:01:56
  Yeah.
• 1:01:56
  But he was like,
• 1:01:57
  wasn't in the top two thousand or
• 1:01:59
  whatever, but it would be like a Fuliano.
• 1:02:01
  Sorry.
• 1:02:02
  Fuliano would be a better example.
• 1:02:05
  um so if they didn't do the open
• 1:02:07
  they wouldn't wouldn't be able to go to
• 1:02:09
  the games even if they won that yeah
• 1:02:10
  they would get a spot at norcal but
• 1:02:12
  not necessarily i guess that's fine i just
• 1:02:15
  think it's dumb but i mean yeah i
• 1:02:17
  don't know i don't have an issue with
• 1:02:19
  it but it should be should be known
• 1:02:22
  before every stage like we need to know
• 1:02:25
  about it not it can't be post
• 1:02:30
  qualification qualifications
• 1:02:33
  I think that's the problem with a lot
• 1:02:34
  of what happened last year is the rules
• 1:02:37
  came out after things that already
• 1:02:39
  happened in the season.
• 1:02:41
  And that made it crazy.
• 1:02:43
  I know barbell spin put out a thing
• 1:02:45
  this week.
• 1:02:46
  Why do we get so upset about change?
• 1:02:48
  And that's it.
• 1:02:49
  It's that when the change happens,
• 1:02:51
  we don't really know what's happening
• 1:02:53
  until midway through the season when the
• 1:02:55
  rules have finally settled.
• 1:02:57
  Yeah, I think.
• 1:03:00
  Tyler spoke about this with his wife.
• 1:03:04
  It's it's that things keep changing.
• 1:03:07
  Like you have a baseline.
• 1:03:08
  This happened to me every year.
• 1:03:10
  Like I had a line and then I
• 1:03:12
  would do that.
• 1:03:13
  But the line moved every year.
• 1:03:14
  This happened to me.
• 1:03:16
  We went from forty to twenty to ten.
• 1:03:18
  And it's like and I would have I
• 1:03:19
  would have qualified.
• 1:03:20
  But the line kept moving like that is
• 1:03:21
  extremely frustrating for athletes trying
• 1:03:24
  to get somewhere when the line keeps
• 1:03:25
  moving on them.
• 1:03:27
  I know it doesn't matter for the top
• 1:03:28
  ten in the world,
• 1:03:30
  and they'll deal with it.
• 1:03:31
  But, like,
• 1:03:31
  it really – and the problem is, like,
• 1:03:34
  it's hard to grow the sport when shit
• 1:03:35
  doesn't make sense to your middle tier of
• 1:03:37
  athletes.
• 1:03:40
  Yep.
• 1:03:43
  All right.
• 1:03:44
  Easy, easy part two.
• 1:03:46
  Fact or fiction?
• 1:03:47
  Chicken wings are an appetizer.
• 1:03:49
  Fact.
• 1:03:50
  Fact.
• 1:03:55
  he was i was cracking up watching him
• 1:03:57
  on that the fact that he was just
• 1:03:58
  like it's a meal i mean i didn't
• 1:04:01
  get it but it was a meal tyler
• 1:04:04
  and and john oh i don't know no
• 1:04:06
  i think john was telling him that it's
• 1:04:08
  an appetizer i don't know if i watched
• 1:04:10
  it this week well the thing is that
• 1:04:13
  they both are like oh i don't eat
• 1:04:14
  appetizers and blah blah you know what
• 1:04:16
  they are come on right like we're not
• 1:04:19
  under a rock here guys right they're on
• 1:04:22
  every appetizer menu
• 1:04:25
  Yeah, I mean,
• 1:04:26
  it depends if you take a bunch of
• 1:04:27
  different wings and also now your
• 1:04:29
  quantity.
• 1:04:30
  But if you get like six, whatever,
• 1:04:32
  wings as an appetizer, whatever it is,
• 1:04:34
  like a pound of wings.
• 1:04:36
  It's an appetizer.
• 1:04:37
  It's an appetizer for sure.
• 1:04:40
  Are you a ranch or blue cheese ranch?
• 1:04:43
  Yeah, ranch.
• 1:04:44
  I hate blue cheese.
• 1:04:45
  You're a blue cheese?
• 1:04:46
  All day.
• 1:04:47
  Yeah.
• 1:04:48
  Ranch.
• 1:04:49
  When I was a kid, I loved ranch.
• 1:04:51
  And now that I'm older,
• 1:04:52
  I cannot stand ranch.
• 1:04:53
  I don't want it on anything.
• 1:04:55
  Crazy.
• 1:04:56
  It can go on everything.
• 1:05:02
  All right.
• 1:05:02
  Factor fiction.
• 1:05:03
  Will Morad is becoming the Dave Castro of
• 1:05:05
  the WFP.
• 1:05:07
  And my thinking behind this, just so,
• 1:05:09
  and you can take it wherever you want
• 1:05:10
  to, is...
• 1:05:13
  the WFP leadership are taking a step back
• 1:05:16
  and they're letting will out there on his
• 1:05:18
  own to answer all the questions and will
• 1:05:21
  will be the one that takes the heat.
• 1:05:23
  And that is what they have designated him
• 1:05:25
  to be now moving forward.
• 1:05:29
  Yeah, I can see that.
• 1:05:30
  And he's like, uh, you know,
• 1:05:33
  Dave Castro is a prick.
• 1:05:35
  I feel like Will's getting that a little
• 1:05:37
  bit.
• 1:05:37
  And he seems to be the director of
• 1:05:40
  sport, right?
• 1:05:41
  He seems to be the one that's making
• 1:05:42
  all the workouts.
• 1:05:43
  So in many ways,
• 1:05:46
  I would say fact that he is taking
• 1:05:48
  that role on.
• 1:05:50
  I don't know.
• 1:05:51
  I think fiction.
• 1:05:52
  I don't see it.
• 1:05:53
  I don't see it the same, I guess.
• 1:05:56
  I don't know enough about him to make
• 1:05:59
  that comparison.
• 1:06:01
  Like he does the programming.
• 1:06:03
  He's a lot closer to the athletes and
• 1:06:05
  has a different relationship, I think,
• 1:06:06
  to the athletes that it's hard to compare
• 1:06:08
  because he has a different experience in
• 1:06:10
  the field than Dave would.
• 1:06:12
  Yeah.
• 1:06:14
  See, in my mind, he is,
• 1:06:15
  but it's not because he's becoming the
• 1:06:17
  prick.
• 1:06:18
  It's because he is now the face of
• 1:06:22
  WFP,
• 1:06:22
  just like Dave became the face of the
• 1:06:24
  CrossFit Games.
• 1:06:26
  And so if there's any heat coming,
• 1:06:28
  it will be Will that takes it now.
• 1:06:31
  Because Jackson and Ryan Husband have all
• 1:06:35
  taken a step back out of the spotlight,
• 1:06:37
  and they've let Will kind of run with
• 1:06:39
  it from here on.
• 1:06:40
  That's my view of it.
• 1:06:43
  Not necessarily like that he's...
• 1:06:45
  Because I like Will.
• 1:06:46
  It's really hard for me not to like
• 1:06:47
  Will because I've had a lot of years
• 1:06:51
  talking to him at different points in
• 1:06:52
  time.
• 1:06:53
  And he's always been really cool.
• 1:06:56
  But I do think that he is now
• 1:06:57
  out there as the face or scapegoat,
• 1:07:01
  whatever may come.
• 1:07:07
  Meredith Jones.
• 1:07:08
  Isn't ranch almost a requirement as an
• 1:07:09
  American?
• 1:07:15
  It is.
• 1:07:15
  Larry Young, love blue cheese,
• 1:07:16
  but it's so many cows.
• 1:07:18
  I'll be quite honest with you.
• 1:07:19
  When I'm eating a chicken wing,
• 1:07:21
  if it's a good chicken wing,
• 1:07:22
  I don't want anything on it.
• 1:07:24
  I just want the sauce and the chicken.
• 1:07:26
  I don't want the ranch or the blue
• 1:07:28
  cheese.
• 1:07:29
  But if it's not great and I need
• 1:07:31
  a little bit of pick me up,
• 1:07:34
  I'll go with the blue cheese.
• 1:07:36
  No, I want the ranch.
• 1:07:37
  I want all of it.
• 1:07:37
  Dump it in there.
• 1:07:42
  All right, last factor fiction.
• 1:07:45
  There really is no sale of CrossFit.
• 1:07:47
  They've all been duping us.
• 1:07:49
  It sort of seems that way at this
• 1:07:51
  point, huh?
• 1:07:52
  I feel like we've been waiting for like
• 1:07:53
  six months at least from this sale talk.
• 1:07:55
  I was like, oh,
• 1:07:56
  is it going to be right after the
• 1:07:57
  open?
• 1:07:57
  Is it going to be right before the
• 1:07:59
  games?
• 1:08:00
  No,
• 1:08:00
  it's going to be right after the –
• 1:08:01
  it's like keep pushing it.
• 1:08:03
  I don't know.
• 1:08:05
  You might be onto something here.
• 1:08:06
  Yeah.
• 1:08:09
  Maybe nothing's happening.
• 1:08:10
  Maybe they couldn't make anything work
• 1:08:12
  out.
• 1:08:15
  Clock, sneaky truth.
• 1:08:18
  Well, hear me out.
• 1:08:19
  Now let's go full conspiracy theory.
• 1:08:24
  Because they said they're up for sale,
• 1:08:26
  we haven't been banging on them for all
• 1:08:28
  the stuff they do poorly.
• 1:08:30
  Yeah.
• 1:08:31
  And in that time,
• 1:08:32
  they've actually started to do stuff well.
• 1:08:34
  Yeah.
• 1:08:35
  Yeah.
• 1:08:36
  And to actually start moving in the right
• 1:08:37
  direction with better marketing campaigns.
• 1:08:40
  It was a pretty good CrossFit Games this
• 1:08:42
  year.
• 1:08:43
  All the old merchandise back.
• 1:08:47
  Social media is back up and running and
• 1:08:50
  thriving again.
• 1:08:52
  The CrossFit podcast is up and running.
• 1:08:55
  And now they're like, hey,
• 1:08:56
  we've got it all rolling on the right
• 1:08:57
  track now.
• 1:08:59
  And we could actually maybe wait a couple
• 1:09:01
  years and sell it for even more.
• 1:09:03
  Yeah.
• 1:09:06
  If you're trying to sell it,
• 1:09:07
  you need to make it look good before
• 1:09:09
  you try to sell because.
• 1:09:11
  But maybe they made it look too good.
• 1:09:13
  And now they're like, well,
• 1:09:14
  if we can just keep this rolling.
• 1:09:17
  Give it another year.
• 1:09:19
  See if they can build on the games
• 1:09:20
  even more.
• 1:09:22
  Yeah.
• 1:09:25
  I mean,
• 1:09:25
  I'm starting to dive down this conspiracy
• 1:09:27
  theory because it's been six months of
• 1:09:30
  them telling us it's been sold.
• 1:09:32
  Right.
• 1:09:32
  Yeah.
• 1:09:34
  And five hundred different names.
• 1:09:36
  As soon as it hasn't even had a
• 1:09:38
  sales show in like two months.
• 1:09:43
  I feel like it's done.
• 1:09:44
  It's killed.
• 1:09:47
  No info.
• 1:09:48
  No new info.
• 1:09:51
  So we all believe that CrossFit really
• 1:09:52
  hasn't sold.
• 1:09:53
  Yes.
• 1:09:55
  We've all been duped.
• 1:09:56
  Yep.
• 1:09:57
  Yep.
• 1:09:57
  I'm a fact on that one.
• 1:09:59
  I'm going with the conspiracy.
• 1:10:01
  I like a good conspiracy theory.
• 1:10:05
  I'll go.
• 1:10:06
  Yeah.
• 1:10:08
  Good stuff.
• 1:10:11
  So I had some questions for you.
• 1:10:13
  Denise had a question back here.
• 1:10:15
  I don't want to miss it.
• 1:10:15
  Yeah.
• 1:10:18
  Okay.
• 1:10:19
  Here's my question.
• 1:10:20
  What age groups do you think they will
• 1:10:21
  have in person for the semis?
• 1:10:23
  Thirty five to forty five.
• 1:10:25
  I can't see them having in person for
• 1:10:26
  divisions that only have fifteen athletes
• 1:10:29
  going to the games.
• 1:10:31
  That's a good point.
• 1:10:33
  That is a good point.
• 1:10:34
  It depends.
• 1:10:36
  I think from what I'm hearing in the
• 1:10:38
  people that are doing the,
• 1:10:40
  at least some of the people doing these
• 1:10:42
  events is that it will be fully an
• 1:10:45
  age group thing.
• 1:10:48
  Last year at semis,
• 1:10:49
  we only let two people go from each
• 1:10:52
  one.
• 1:10:53
  Right.
• 1:10:53
  Yeah.
• 1:10:55
  So you can still have it and just
• 1:10:57
  let one or two people from the sixty
• 1:11:00
  five to sixty nine go.
• 1:11:06
  Yeah, I could see it.
• 1:11:10
  That's a big that's a big put on.
• 1:11:15
  I mean,
• 1:11:15
  do you think they'll have a European one?
• 1:11:17
  And that was my exact thought right now
• 1:11:20
  is like,
• 1:11:20
  are the opportunities only going to be in
• 1:11:22
  the States?
• 1:11:24
  i don't think that's fair but it's a
• 1:11:32
  step forward at the same time of having
• 1:11:34
  an in-person event like and drug testing
• 1:11:37
  at those in person too prior how about
• 1:11:40
  that that's a good start that's a good
• 1:11:43
  point let's do it so uh cross fat
• 1:11:48
  said he bought it hook line sinker i
• 1:11:52
  believe that as much as anything right now
• 1:11:56
  All right.
• 1:11:58
  I have a couple questions for you guys
• 1:11:59
  while I open it up to the chat.
• 1:12:02
  It is question time.
• 1:12:03
  You can shoot us any of us a
• 1:12:05
  question.
• 1:12:11
  How big is the European pop for those
• 1:12:13
  groups in Masters calculated decision?
• 1:12:15
  I will say that the worldwide
• 1:12:19
  representation at the Masters games is
• 1:12:21
  even higher than the CrossFit games.
• 1:12:23
  Yeah.
• 1:12:29
  So I do see where that could be
• 1:12:30
  a problem.
• 1:12:32
  Some of the best in the world are
• 1:12:33
  not from the United States,
• 1:12:35
  and you could be taking away their
• 1:12:38
  opportunity.
• 1:12:41
  I'd argue that they'll still make it,
• 1:12:43
  but yes, it's taking away.
• 1:12:48
  It...
• 1:12:50
  Not all masters though.
• 1:12:51
  The oldies.
• 1:12:52
  Hey, I'm telling you like the English,
• 1:12:54
  Irish oldies are really good.
• 1:12:55
  Yeah.
• 1:12:55
  So there's usually one or two.
• 1:12:56
  I'm trying to,
• 1:12:56
  I think like the older men,
• 1:12:57
  like the older men, like the older men,
• 1:13:00
  like the older men, like the older men,
• 1:13:01
  like the older men, like the older men,
• 1:13:04
  like the older men, like the older men,
• 1:13:05
  like the older men, like the older men,
• 1:13:06
  like the older men, like the older men,
• 1:13:07
  like the older men, like the older men,
• 1:13:08
  like the older men, like the older men,
• 1:13:10
  like the older men, like the older men,
• 1:13:11
  like the older men, like the older men,
• 1:13:12
  like the older men, like the older men,
• 1:13:14
  like the older men, like the older men,
• 1:13:15
  like the older men, like the older men,
• 1:13:16
  like the older men, like the older men,
• 1:13:17
  like the older men, like the older men,
• 1:13:17
  like the older men, like the older men,
• 1:13:18
  like the older men, like the older men,
• 1:13:19
  like the older men,
• 1:13:20
  like
• 1:13:21
  she's a champion in her division every
• 1:13:23
  time yeah she's won like four times second
• 1:13:28
  three times first four times um yeah two
• 1:13:34
  out of two out of twenty were outside
• 1:13:36
  the us yeah that's definitely lower in the
• 1:13:39
  in those groups because i would say it's
• 1:13:41
  quite a bit higher in the thirty five
• 1:13:43
  in the forty and are most people accepting
• 1:13:46
  their places to go to the games would
• 1:13:47
  you say or
• 1:13:50
  is two just because like international
• 1:13:53
  didn't travel.
• 1:13:55
  I think most people accept.
• 1:13:57
  Okay.
• 1:14:03
  I have a question for you while we're
• 1:14:04
  waiting.
• 1:14:04
  If anybody else has questions,
• 1:14:07
  if you could pick a comp workout that
• 1:14:10
  you would crush,
• 1:14:12
  what three movements would it contain?
• 1:14:17
  Toe to bar, bar muscle up.
• 1:14:20
  Power clean.
• 1:14:23
  What weight for the power clean?
• 1:14:24
  Probably like one twenty five.
• 1:14:31
  Deadlift burpees box jump.
• 1:14:37
  I almost said burpees,
• 1:14:38
  but I feel like I needed to put
• 1:14:39
  a barbell in the deadlifts at two twenty
• 1:14:41
  five.
• 1:14:44
  To two seventy five somewhere in there for
• 1:14:48
  reps.
• 1:14:48
  Yeah.
• 1:14:50
  I'll take on anyone with those three.
• 1:14:54
  I need like dense set of total bar.
• 1:15:01
  Vi,
• 1:15:02
  since WFP has shut down the exclusivity
• 1:15:04
  rumor with regard to twenty twenty six,
• 1:15:07
  did you circle back to the person who
• 1:15:09
  told you that was happening?
• 1:15:10
  And if so,
• 1:15:11
  what did they have to say?
• 1:15:13
  Well,
• 1:15:13
  the problem is why it wasn't a person.
• 1:15:15
  It was people.
• 1:15:20
  And those people were not connected in any
• 1:15:22
  way other than they had some relationship
• 1:15:24
  with the WFP.
• 1:15:28
  And so, but no,
• 1:15:29
  I have not circled back with them.
• 1:15:31
  Um,
• 1:15:33
  and I'm just taking them at their word
• 1:15:34
  now that there will not be exclusivity
• 1:15:36
  next year.
• 1:15:39
  I just think,
• 1:15:41
  I just think it's a little bit inherent.
• 1:15:44
  I mean,
• 1:15:44
  it sounds like they're trying to move
• 1:15:47
  stuff around.
• 1:15:49
  they hear a conflict but like there's i
• 1:15:54
  mean truly if you want to do if
• 1:15:57
  you you kind of have to focus on
• 1:15:59
  one or the other it as it gets
• 1:16:02
  bigger that's just inevitable whether you
• 1:16:07
  want to say that they're like they're not
• 1:16:08
  requiring an exclusivity but
• 1:16:11
  Do you think it's too early for them
• 1:16:13
  to go to like four or five events
• 1:16:14
  next year?
• 1:16:15
  Or do you feel they should stick to
• 1:16:16
  three for a few years and then build
• 1:16:18
  from that?
• 1:16:18
  Cause that's expensive.
• 1:16:19
  Adding more,
• 1:16:21
  more conflict with other competitions.
• 1:16:23
  Like I feel like the three is perfect
• 1:16:25
  right now where it's not too much.
• 1:16:28
  You're already having people not being
• 1:16:29
  able to do all three.
• 1:16:32
  So I don't know that they needed to
• 1:16:34
  go to more next year.
• 1:16:35
  And I think that's an issue for them
• 1:16:38
  going to four or even five next year
• 1:16:40
  or whatever number they're going to
• 1:16:41
  choose.
• 1:16:43
  I think they should stick to three,
• 1:16:45
  figure out where to place them and hold
• 1:16:48
  that for a few years until you build
• 1:16:50
  your new league.
• 1:16:55
  It's too early.
• 1:16:57
  It's not the right time to move to
• 1:16:59
  more.
• 1:16:59
  Yeah.
• 1:17:00
  Well, that's just more travel for fans.
• 1:17:05
  You're going to get less and less
• 1:17:06
  in-person fans when you do that.
• 1:17:11
  Then I've got to pick which one I
• 1:17:11
  go to.
• 1:17:12
  I'm probably going to save it for the
• 1:17:13
  finals, which is the most important.
• 1:17:17
  You can't even guarantee that everyone's
• 1:17:18
  going to show up at the other three
• 1:17:20
  because they don't matter.
• 1:17:22
  The only one that matters is the last
• 1:17:23
  one that's worth double.
• 1:17:25
  They would matter if you had more.
• 1:17:28
  No, they'll matter less.
• 1:17:30
  they'll get spread out even more simple
• 1:17:32
  math.
• 1:17:33
  They would add,
• 1:17:33
  they would matter more for events at
• 1:17:37
  single points and one event at double
• 1:17:38
  points.
• 1:17:39
  You can earn way more points at the
• 1:17:40
  four single point events.
• 1:17:45
  You'll get more people spread out and only
• 1:17:47
  do like,
• 1:17:47
  the thing is you're not going to know
• 1:17:48
  who is going to be where,
• 1:17:49
  because inevitably you're going to have
• 1:17:51
  people missing from each event.
• 1:17:53
  So like as a fan, well, yeah,
• 1:17:54
  I don't want to have that argument,
• 1:17:58
  but
• 1:17:58
  Well, that's what I'm saying.
• 1:17:59
  You're as a fan,
• 1:18:00
  it's pointless to go to these first four
• 1:18:01
  events.
• 1:18:02
  I just think it's too expensive.
• 1:18:04
  You're, you're, you're,
• 1:18:06
  you're paying for the athletes to compete
• 1:18:07
  at all of these events for their travels.
• 1:18:10
  You're needing to find venues three or
• 1:18:13
  like, you know, an additional one.
• 1:18:16
  They're getting the venues for free.
• 1:18:21
  But here's my thing.
• 1:18:24
  One,
• 1:18:24
  if you put them on different continents,
• 1:18:26
  then it's a different fan base that you're
• 1:18:28
  going after.
• 1:18:28
  Yeah.
• 1:18:29
  Two, they have a PR problem.
• 1:18:32
  When Jason Hopper goes on a very popular
• 1:18:34
  podcast and says,
• 1:18:36
  I just didn't have the excitement for this
• 1:18:38
  event because the games just happened.
• 1:18:43
  Like it becomes now a PR problem that
• 1:18:47
  people, what is important to the athletes.
• 1:18:50
  And if they're not coming in with their
• 1:18:51
  best effort,
• 1:18:52
  how many people are going to be paying
• 1:18:54
  big ticket prices to come see it?
• 1:18:56
  See, I don't buy that.
• 1:18:57
  People don't go with their best effort.
• 1:19:00
  I'm not saying that all of them,
• 1:19:03
  weren't trying and they use different
• 1:19:07
  things as it as excuses.
• 1:19:08
  I'm going to continue to say that if
• 1:19:10
  they have a good weekend, they're good.
• 1:19:11
  And if they don't,
• 1:19:12
  then they're tired from the games like
• 1:19:14
  they keep like,
• 1:19:16
  they're all trying their hardest.
• 1:19:18
  It just depends whether they executed.
• 1:19:20
  Sometimes you're sick that weekend,
• 1:19:21
  sometimes you shit the bed,
• 1:19:23
  sometimes literature at the beds,
• 1:19:25
  maybe sometimes people but like,
• 1:19:27
  I don't know,
• 1:19:30
  I think they're all trying their best.
• 1:19:33
  i have a hard time believing that they're
• 1:19:34
  showing up and not trying to do the
• 1:19:37
  best that they can on an event unless
• 1:19:40
  unless they're injured and they're just
• 1:19:42
  showing up for the paycheck just to get
• 1:19:43
  points that's the only reason and then
• 1:19:45
  maybe pull up very early uh philby do
• 1:19:49
  we have new rumors lined up this week
• 1:19:52
  uh i've shut down the smear campaign
• 1:19:54
  machine um for the week i will say
• 1:20:00
  it for the last time
• 1:20:02
  I only say things on here that I
• 1:20:04
  have heard from multiple sources in
• 1:20:06
  different that have no connection.
• 1:20:10
  That is it.
• 1:20:11
  Whether it was right, wrong,
• 1:20:12
  or indifferent,
• 1:20:13
  it was believable because I heard it from
• 1:20:15
  several people from different sources,
• 1:20:19
  from different avenues.
• 1:20:23
  So,
• 1:20:24
  and the one story that I was told
• 1:20:26
  made a lot of logical sense.
• 1:20:30
  So that's all it is.
• 1:20:31
  I stand by what I was told.
• 1:20:36
  Just to say.
• 1:20:38
  I will add one more point to what
• 1:20:39
  I said.
• 1:20:39
  And that's that the WFP releases their
• 1:20:42
  events like three weeks before.
• 1:20:45
  So I think that also plays a role
• 1:20:47
  into your preparation.
• 1:20:48
  You know what you're preparing for,
• 1:20:49
  how to taper, like the days leading in,
• 1:20:52
  what to kind of play around with to
• 1:20:54
  feel better going into the event versus
• 1:20:56
  trying to train everything.
• 1:20:58
  And like,
• 1:20:59
  you know what the events are too.
• 1:21:02
  So in terms of preparation,
• 1:21:03
  it helps the athletes knowing what they
• 1:21:05
  are.
• 1:21:09
  Uh, I'll stick to what cross fat does.
• 1:21:11
  I'll just put my smear on a bagel
• 1:21:14
  smear.
• 1:21:21
  Um, cross that you also know,
• 1:21:23
  it's not going to be your week.
• 1:21:25
  That's sort of the problem with knowing
• 1:21:27
  events early.
• 1:21:33
  that works better for some athletes than
• 1:21:34
  others.
• 1:21:35
  Like some athletes can practice events
• 1:21:37
  two, three times,
• 1:21:38
  dial it in and perform better.
• 1:21:41
  Some,
• 1:21:42
  some just can't really do that or can't
• 1:21:46
  put in like, I mean,
• 1:21:47
  if Jason is volume sensitive,
• 1:21:49
  he's not going to practice the workouts
• 1:21:50
  three times.
• 1:21:52
  But that's knowing yourself as an athlete
• 1:21:54
  and that's your coaches knowing how to
• 1:21:56
  prepare you.
• 1:21:57
  That's part of the game.
• 1:21:58
  Like,
• 1:22:00
  If that's not something that works for
• 1:22:01
  you,
• 1:22:01
  like Ariel doesn't test many of the
• 1:22:02
  workouts before she does pieces of them.
• 1:22:05
  A lot of times she does harder pieces
• 1:22:07
  than what they are.
• 1:22:08
  Um, but you,
• 1:22:11
  you need to figure out what works for
• 1:22:12
  you.
• 1:22:15
  What do you think about what Ariel does?
• 1:22:18
  If you want to pay five dollars to
• 1:22:20
  her Instagram,
• 1:22:20
  you can see what she does every day
• 1:22:22
  other than her strength workout.
• 1:22:26
  Yeah.
• 1:22:28
  She doesn't share the strength.
• 1:22:30
  Right.
• 1:22:31
  Because someone else writes her strength.
• 1:22:32
  So I don't think she feels she has
• 1:22:34
  the right to put it out for everybody
• 1:22:37
  to consume.
• 1:22:38
  But if you become a member of her
• 1:22:40
  on Instagram channel for five dollars a
• 1:22:42
  month,
• 1:22:43
  you get you can see every workout she
• 1:22:44
  does every day.
• 1:22:47
  I mean,
• 1:22:48
  to see what she was doing and like
• 1:22:50
  what she was posting on it as a
• 1:22:51
  member.
• 1:22:53
  And she does her workout every day with
• 1:22:54
  full explanation.
• 1:22:56
  She talks about how it went for her,
• 1:22:58
  how she felt during it.
• 1:23:00
  where it got sticky,
• 1:23:01
  all that kind of stuff.
• 1:23:03
  I don't think that that matters.
• 1:23:04
  Like you can,
• 1:23:06
  people can look at her scores.
• 1:23:08
  It doesn't mean that like they'll
• 1:23:09
  replicate what they're like.
• 1:23:10
  They don't know how she's feeling.
• 1:23:11
  They don't know if that was her first
• 1:23:12
  piece, second piece.
• 1:23:14
  She just dropped off her daughter,
• 1:23:15
  like at sporting event,
• 1:23:17
  like what the transition space was between
• 1:23:21
  her, her machines.
• 1:23:22
  Like,
• 1:23:22
  I don't think it matters to put your
• 1:23:23
  scores out there that much.
• 1:23:26
  With the full workout.
• 1:23:27
  You're like the reason I find it like,
• 1:23:30
  I have mine on Beyond the Whiteboard for
• 1:23:31
  almost everything that I do,
• 1:23:33
  basically public.
• 1:23:35
  The qualifiers I keep secret,
• 1:23:37
  odd little stuff if I want to just
• 1:23:39
  put it as only me,
• 1:23:39
  but most of my stuff is just public.
• 1:23:42
  All of my scores, everything.
• 1:23:44
  I don't care.
• 1:23:44
  People don't know what the spacing is
• 1:23:47
  between stuff.
• 1:23:48
  You could do the same workout and it
• 1:23:50
  looks different.
• 1:23:51
  We came from an era where Matt wouldn't
• 1:23:53
  share anything and Tia wouldn't share
• 1:23:56
  anything.
• 1:23:57
  the end of the day you're either working
• 1:24:00
  hard or you're not and you're going to
• 1:24:01
  be fit or you're not i just found
• 1:24:05
  it refreshing to see i like that that
• 1:24:08
  she does that you know i guess and
• 1:24:11
  i don't have beyond the white border i'd
• 1:24:12
  check out what you write up there every
• 1:24:14
  day but it's like i don't know people
• 1:24:19
  can do what what they do this doesn't
• 1:24:21
  mean that other people can do what they
• 1:24:22
  do right
• 1:24:24
  Well,
• 1:24:24
  and Ariel said there's only one athlete
• 1:24:27
  that subscribes to her Instagram and
• 1:24:30
  that's Danielle Brandon.
• 1:24:32
  Wow.
• 1:24:32
  So yeah, it's interesting.
• 1:24:41
  Last question for me,
• 1:24:43
  unless something else comes in from the
• 1:24:44
  group,
• 1:24:46
  what is your favorite comp to compete in
• 1:24:49
  besides the CrossFit games?
• 1:24:50
  We're organizational, not even close.
• 1:24:54
  not even close maybe maybe fresh coast
• 1:25:11
  because it's different um and then there's
• 1:25:17
  there was a local comp around here that
• 1:25:19
  i used to do that i like it's
• 1:25:21
  cougars and sugars sugar daddies
• 1:25:24
  Um, so you have to, like,
• 1:25:25
  I was usually the cougar.
• 1:25:27
  So like,
• 1:25:27
  I would have to compete with a boy
• 1:25:29
  that was younger,
• 1:25:31
  more than ten years younger than me.
• 1:25:35
  And where you have these had to do
• 1:25:36
  with a,
• 1:25:37
  a female that was more than ten years
• 1:25:39
  younger than them.
• 1:25:40
  Yep.
• 1:25:40
  Yep.
• 1:25:44
  That was a cool comp.
• 1:25:45
  I liked it.
• 1:25:46
  And I mean, it's just,
• 1:25:48
  it's just something different to do,
• 1:25:49
  but
• 1:25:51
  I also like to feel like I get
• 1:25:52
  value out of my competitions.
• 1:25:55
  Like I like a three,
• 1:25:57
  three day event that has nine scores.
• 1:26:01
  Like I like MFC it's close, convenient.
• 1:26:04
  I think there's enough workouts.
• 1:26:06
  So if I had to say like value
• 1:26:10
  wise, I'd probably say MFC,
• 1:26:11
  but just like a fun little event,
• 1:26:15
  fresh coast.
• 1:26:16
  It's fun.
• 1:26:17
  I like doing the stuff on the beach,
• 1:26:18
  something different.
• 1:26:20
  CrossFit,
• 1:26:21
  who wins the cup now that Barkov is
• 1:26:23
  injured, Carol?
• 1:26:25
  Canada, finally?
• 1:26:29
  I mean, I'd like to see Montreal,
• 1:26:31
  their young players,
• 1:26:32
  step up this year and do something,
• 1:26:34
  but it's been a while since Montreal's
• 1:26:37
  done well.
• 1:26:39
  I don't know.
• 1:26:40
  I haven't seen that Barkov got injured.
• 1:26:43
  I don't know what he has injured,
• 1:26:46
  but Barkov plays...
• 1:26:49
  on the Stanley Cup winning team, Florida.
• 1:26:54
  I'm just tired of Florida and Edmonton.
• 1:26:56
  I'm ready for something.
• 1:26:57
  I mean,
• 1:26:58
  I would like Edmonton to win one just
• 1:27:00
  for McDavid to have his cup because he's
• 1:27:02
  so good.
• 1:27:04
  As long as he doesn't go to Toronto,
• 1:27:07
  then I'm happy if he just gets a
• 1:27:08
  cup.
• 1:27:11
  Well,
• 1:27:11
  I've heard that the Penguins are selling
• 1:27:12
  everybody off this year,
• 1:27:13
  so I'm just buckling up for a rough
• 1:27:16
  season.
• 1:27:20
  Well, that is it.
• 1:27:21
  If there's no other questions from you
• 1:27:23
  guys, I am.
• 1:27:25
  Oh,
• 1:27:26
  I think Jamie's performance says that
• 1:27:31
  James from WFP performance says that some
• 1:27:34
  folks were able to put in their best
• 1:27:36
  work at both this year.
• 1:27:37
  I'm not saying there were people that
• 1:27:39
  couldn't do that,
• 1:27:40
  but as from a PR perspective,
• 1:27:44
  when an athlete or two start making those
• 1:27:47
  statements,
• 1:27:48
  it's a PR nightmare for a company.
• 1:27:52
  That's all.
• 1:27:53
  And I'm not saying that they're doomed.
• 1:27:56
  That's what,
• 1:27:56
  that's what's so hard about people with
• 1:27:58
  the WFP.
• 1:28:00
  You say one critical statement and they
• 1:28:02
  mean, they think you mean it's like awful.
• 1:28:05
  Yes.
• 1:28:05
  I'm just saying like,
• 1:28:07
  if you're running a company,
• 1:28:08
  you don't want your athletes saying
• 1:28:09
  anything negative about the
• 1:28:13
  company at all especially a startup you
• 1:28:17
  don't want the crossfit games champ saying
• 1:28:19
  i'm too tired to give my best effort
• 1:28:22
  at this whether it's an excuse whether
• 1:28:25
  it's whatever yeah i agree it doesn't look
• 1:28:30
  good it just becomes a pr thing that
• 1:28:33
  you now have to deal with
• 1:28:35
  And you have to then tell future athletes
• 1:28:38
  that might be interested that that's not
• 1:28:40
  really the case.
• 1:28:42
  He had the flu that week or blah,
• 1:28:45
  blah, blah.
• 1:28:46
  You know,
• 1:28:46
  like it's just something that's been lined
• 1:28:48
  up or whatever.
• 1:28:49
  Right.
• 1:28:51
  PR is people's perceptions.
• 1:28:54
  It doesn't mean it's reality.
• 1:28:55
  It's that people get a perception because
• 1:28:58
  of something that was said.
• 1:28:59
  And now you as a company have to
• 1:29:01
  deal with it.
• 1:29:04
  Right.
• 1:29:05
  That's all.
• 1:29:06
  I'm not saying that they're doomed because
• 1:29:08
  of it.
• 1:29:08
  I'm just saying that it's now another
• 1:29:10
  thing on their list that they have to
• 1:29:12
  deal with.
• 1:29:18
  And with that.
• 1:29:20
  it's been a fun Sunday night.
• 1:29:22
  Thank you everybody for hanging out.
• 1:29:25
  Um,
• 1:29:25

  Um, I have some appointments tomorrow.
• 1:29:30
  Uh, so I'll have to skip that,
• 1:29:32

• 1:29:36
  this week on Thursday.
• 1:29:39
  Um, and then I'll be back.
