• 0:04
  What a weekend for live sports.
• 0:08
  If we could just make that happen in
• 0:10
  San Jose.
• 0:42
  what is going on everybody welcome to
• 0:45
  sunday sunday sunday night crossfit talk
• 0:49
  we are here live after a weekend of
• 0:53
  unbelievable football games it started
• 0:56
  thursday night in college with miami and
• 0:59
  old miss and the only game that wasn't
• 1:02
  close was indiana and oregon everything
• 1:06
  else this weekend has come down to the
• 1:08
  last two minutes of the game my heart
• 1:11
  can't take anymore
• 1:12
  Yeah, it's crazy.
• 1:16
  So, Carolyn sporting the Niners shirt,
• 1:19
  the Christian McCaffrey jersey,
• 1:22
  and that game just ended with the Niners
• 1:25
  on a defensive hold,
• 1:27
  which just like the Bears had to do
• 1:29
  a defensive hold last night,
• 1:31
  that is the last team I want on
• 1:33
  the field to close out the game.
• 1:36
  The Bears defense or the Niners defense
• 1:38
  are both not good.
• 1:39
  Their offenses are really good.
• 1:41
  And the fact that they had to put
• 1:43
  their lesser of the three teams out there
• 1:47
  to do that,
• 1:49
  my heart was beaten out of my chest
• 1:51
  last night.
• 1:55
  Julian Iford says, congratulations.
• 1:59
  The Bears are awesome.
• 2:04
  I did not sleep last night.
• 2:07
  You're too ramped up or what?
• 2:08
  The game didn't end until what?
• 2:10
  Eleven thirty Eastern time.
• 2:13
  And then I watched the prime post game.
• 2:17
  Then I have my little podcast crew in
• 2:20
  Chicago that does a post game for every
• 2:23
  every game.
• 2:24
  So I tune over to them.
• 2:25
  They're doing shots on the set because
• 2:28
  they cannot believe that the Bears won.
• 2:31
  And they won a playoff game.
• 2:33
  Two thousand and ten.
• 2:36
  It was the two thousand ten season.
• 2:38
  It actually happened in two thousand
• 2:39
  eleven.
• 2:42
  But yeah, long time ago.
• 2:46
  And yeah,
• 2:48
  so I was up until two to thirty
• 2:50
  in the morning watching all the stuff.
• 2:54
  And then and then I got up early
• 2:56
  to watch the pregame stuff to see what
• 2:58
  they said about the game last night.
• 3:00
  And then I fell asleep for a couple
• 3:01
  hours on the couch today.
• 3:04
  Jeez, oh, Pete.
• 3:09
  You don't need that in your life right
• 3:10
  now.
• 3:11
  Bang, bang, not the gang.
• 3:14
  I don't know.
• 3:15
  We're the gang.
• 3:16
  Same gang.
• 3:16
  The gang's all here.
• 3:21
  Drew went to bed crying.
• 3:25
  I don't know who he roots for.
• 3:26
  Yeah, who is he rooting for?
• 3:27
  Sad tears.
• 3:32
  Mark Phillips,
• 3:32
  that final drive was butt clenching for
• 3:35
  sure.
• 3:38
  Valenz, glad the Packers are out.
• 3:42
  Yeah.
• 3:43
  I guess Drew was a Packers fan.
• 3:45
  I'm so sad.
• 3:49
  What a game.
• 3:50
  What a game.
• 3:51
  Anyway, they all were good.
• 3:53
  Even the Carolina Panthers,
• 3:54
  who don't even have a winning record,
• 3:56
  took the Rams to the last two minutes.
• 3:59
  Yeah.
• 3:59
  Like online,
• 4:00
  at first they were getting like,
• 4:03
  Beat up.
• 4:04
  And then they were like,
• 4:05
  why are they inviting teams that are under
• 4:07
  five hundred in the playoffs?
• 4:09
  This is dumb.
• 4:10
  And then they just kept chipping away.
• 4:13
  And all of a sudden it was like
• 4:14
  such a closed game.
• 4:15
  And yeah, all of them.
• 4:17
  So it's been good.
• 4:18
  They won their division.
• 4:19
  Yeah.
• 4:19
  If you win your division,
• 4:20
  you've got to get in.
• 4:21
  Right.
• 4:22
  Because that's the majority of the games
• 4:24
  you play.
• 4:25
  And so if you beat up that,
• 4:27
  I don't know.
• 4:29
  CrossFit says Niners without Kittle cook
• 4:33
  next round.
• 4:34
  That looked bad.
• 4:36
  I saw Hiller just put out a members
• 4:37
  only video about the rise in Achilles
• 4:41
  injuries.
• 4:42
  Oh.
• 4:43
  In like all sports.
• 4:44
  So I'm curious what he has.
• 4:45
  I haven't watched it.
• 4:46
  It literally popped up like two minutes
• 4:48
  before we went on air.
• 4:50
  So I'm curious what he has to say.
• 4:52
  Cause I've wondered that like when I was
• 4:54
  a kid,
• 4:54
  nobody popped their Achilles and now it's
• 4:57
  like everywhere in all sports.
• 4:59
  Do you think it's, well, I don't know,
• 5:03
  maybe the, the turf, the,
• 5:06
  then it's in basketball, a lot,
• 5:07
  the volume of reps that people are getting
• 5:10
  versus before as like training has gone
• 5:13
  better.
• 5:13
  They're, they're, I don't know.
• 5:16
  And they're able to take on more volume
• 5:18
  maybe than before.
• 5:19
  playing all year round specializing in
• 5:21
  their sports I don't know but there was
• 5:26
  there's a lot of Achilles injuries it's
• 5:28
  crazy do you want to know what my
• 5:30
  true thought is yes I think it's steroids
• 5:34
  I think it's performance enhancing drugs
• 5:36
  that are making the muscles too big for
• 5:38
  the tendons
• 5:42
  I think you're growing,
• 5:43
  the tendons don't grow with performance
• 5:45
  enhancing drugs and the ligaments don't
• 5:47
  grow.
• 5:48
  And then you're growing the muscles and
• 5:50
  they get supported by the ligaments and
• 5:54
  tendons.
• 5:56
  I'm very curious if Hiller goes in that
• 5:58
  route.
• 6:01
  Yeah, I don't.
• 6:03
  That has been my thought as this is
• 6:04
  going on, and I've been waiting for, like,
• 6:08
  an ESPN.
• 6:10
  Yeah.
• 6:10
  Or one of those, like, exposés.
• 6:14
  But they'll never say that it's that
• 6:17
  because all of these players are supposed
• 6:18
  to be.
• 6:19
  Exactly.
• 6:20
  Yeah.
• 6:21
  But it's a big deal when someone tests
• 6:24
  positive in CrossFit, right?
• 6:26
  But if you test positive in football,
• 6:29
  I don't even know if people can name
• 6:30
  who tested positive this year.
• 6:32
  Because you sit out four games,
• 6:33
  you come back,
• 6:34
  and nobody even thinks twice about it.
• 6:36
  Yeah.
• 6:42
  I have thought that for probably a decade
• 6:46
  that with the rise in performance
• 6:47
  enhancing drugs,
• 6:49
  you saw a rise in more soft tissue
• 6:52
  injuries and more like Achilles injuries.
• 7:01
  I don't know.
• 7:01
  I mean, yeah,
• 7:02
  that's an interesting theory.
• 7:03
  I don't like.
• 7:04
  I wouldn't know how prevalent,
• 7:06
  like how prevalent were steroids use in
• 7:08
  like eighties, nineties.
• 7:09
  I mean,
• 7:10
  I would think like with the rise of
• 7:11
  like Arnold baseball, it was huge.
• 7:13
  Right.
• 7:14
  So like why it's.
• 7:16
  But look at the baseball injuries,
• 7:18
  the UCLs, the, you know, you're,
• 7:21
  everybody's getting the Tommy John
• 7:22
  surgery.
• 7:23
  Like almost every pitcher now gets the
• 7:25
  Tommy John surgery,
• 7:27
  the knee ligaments that go out now.
• 7:30
  The steroids they were using in the
• 7:31
  seventies and stuff like that just made
• 7:34
  you like strong, but slow.
• 7:36
  Right.
• 7:37
  It's only been in recent years that like
• 7:40
  they've fine tuned them to do more than
• 7:42
  just build muscle to be strong.
• 7:46
  Now it can make you faster.
• 7:48
  It can make like,
• 7:50
  and the training is different.
• 7:51
  Now the, the,
• 7:52
  the science behind training has gone up.
• 7:56
  So you add all that into your,
• 7:59
  into account i think it just really puts
• 8:01
  some wear and tear on those ligaments and
• 8:03
  tendons and they because they're
• 8:06
  non-contact injuries that are happening
• 8:08
  now right if someone tears an acl in
• 8:10
  the nfl they're just running down the
• 8:12
  field and boop yeah i yeah i agree
• 8:21
  kids start earlier put more
• 8:25
  mileage on their bodies.
• 8:27
  Um,
• 8:27
  but in a way that almost thinks makes
• 8:30
  me think that that would give them more
• 8:33
  training volume and like tendons would
• 8:35
  catch up to that growth.
• 8:36
  So that kind of contradicts that for me.
• 8:39
  So I don't know.
• 8:40
  How do you,
• 8:41
  how do you work a tendon?
• 8:43
  Well,
• 8:43
  if you don't build the muscle too quickly,
• 8:46
  like if you were training since a little
• 8:47
  kid and grew that over time,
• 8:49
  you would think that you built that up
• 8:53
  properly.
• 8:55
  over time so I don't know to me
• 8:57
  it's yeah I think I think that I
• 9:02
  think it's more than just one thing
• 9:04
  Right.
• 9:05
  There's people in here saying there's a
• 9:06
  theory that the Niners practice near an
• 9:08
  electrical plant or electrical grid,
• 9:11
  and that is leading to the injuries.
• 9:14
  I think that all of these parents that
• 9:16
  make their kids do travel teams at five,
• 9:19
  six, seven, eight is too much.
• 9:22
  They should be having fun and playing
• 9:23
  multiple sports,
• 9:24
  not focusing on one thing at such a
• 9:27
  young age.
• 9:29
  I think it's all of those things combined.
• 9:31
  But I do think that the performance
• 9:34
  enhancing drugs is a major contributor.
• 9:38
  I can get on board with that.
• 9:44
  Ken Walters, there's a person close to me,
• 9:46
  my son,
• 9:47
  told me it's all over the AHL and
• 9:49
  NHL.
• 9:49
  If you want,
• 9:50
  you can get it right from.
• 9:53
  See,
• 9:53
  I don't feel like it's in hockey that
• 9:54
  much.
• 9:55
  I feel like hockey is such a skilled
• 9:56
  sport.
• 9:57
  Like,
• 9:57
  I don't know how much of an advantage
• 9:58
  that would be.
• 10:00
  It's not even that physical anymore
• 10:02
  compared to what it used to be.
• 10:04
  I don't see it in a hockey that
• 10:05
  much.
• 10:06
  I've watched too many sports to be too
• 10:08
  naive that if there's a sport where people
• 10:10
  are getting paid and it's competitive,
• 10:12
  they're going to look for an advantage.
• 10:14
  Yep.
• 10:16
  It's just going to happen.
• 10:18
  At what percentage?
• 10:19
  Where I would see it would be injuries
• 10:22
  and trying to come back faster from
• 10:25
  injuries.
• 10:27
  And right now what's the big thing is
• 10:30
  like the peptide stuff.
• 10:32
  Yeah.
• 10:33
  Like I could see that for like recovery
• 10:35
  purposes of athletes,
• 10:37
  but in hockey steroids, I don't know.
• 10:40
  I don't buy that.
• 10:42
  I don't think steroid.
• 10:43
  I think it's performance-enhancing drugs.
• 10:45
  And I think it starts with recovery.
• 10:47
  Someone gets injured.
• 10:48
  They want to get back on the ice
• 10:49
  faster.
• 10:50
  And then it's like the gateway drug into
• 10:54
  more, well, this worked.
• 10:56
  And now there's this, right?
• 10:58
  And now there's this.
• 11:00
  So I think it's, I don't,
• 11:03
  that's my opinion.
• 11:05
  And Carolyn,
• 11:05
  you're totally entitled to yours.
• 11:06
  You've actually lived that world more than
• 11:09
  I have, but I just, you know,
• 11:11
  I was a believer in Lance Armstrong and
• 11:13
  I got let down.
• 11:14
  And I was a believer in all these
• 11:16
  people in my life of watching sports and
• 11:19
  they all let me down.
• 11:21
  And so I just go into it now
• 11:22
  where
• 11:23
  It's everywhere.
• 11:24
  And just face the facts.
• 11:26
  You can't trust that anybody is not using
• 11:28
  it.
• 11:29
  And so I just assume they are and
• 11:33
  hope that they're not.
• 11:33
  Yeah.
• 11:37
  Liver King.
• 11:42
  Ken Walters, Carolyn,
• 11:43
  he's been in eight different locker rooms
• 11:45
  and has friends on every team then and
• 11:46
  now.
• 11:48
  I mean, me too.
• 11:48
  Like I,
• 11:49
  I'm not in the men's locker room.
• 11:50
  I haven't been, but like the,
• 11:51
  like I have a lot of friends that
• 11:52
  played play and played in the NHL and
• 11:55
  then on the woman's side as well.
• 11:56
  Like, I don't know.
• 11:58
  It was never, never really.
• 12:03
  The male ego says if some is good,
• 12:04
  more is better.
• 12:06
  Also true.
• 12:08
  I don't have this on the rundown,
• 12:09
  but since we jumped into this and we
• 12:10
  didn't plan on it,
• 12:13
  if you watched Hiller's Hot Takes this
• 12:15
  week,
• 12:15
  one of them was about that more female
• 12:19
  athletes are using performance enhancing
• 12:21
  drugs because it only takes one use and
• 12:24
  then it doesn't go away.
• 12:26
  So women are learning that they just have
• 12:28
  to use it one time and then get
• 12:31
  off of it and then they can pass
• 12:32
  every test forever and it never goes away.
• 12:37
  I believe that wholeheartedly.
• 12:43
  I think if when you learn that if
• 12:45
  you can get away with it for one
• 12:47
  cycle and the benefits will be forever.
• 12:54
  I think it's as prevalent with the males
• 12:56
  though.
• 12:59
  Yeah,
• 12:59
  but the men might not notice the
• 13:00
  difference as much,
• 13:01
  but I don't know that I would say
• 13:03
  that it'd be more on the woman's side.
• 13:05
  Well,
• 13:05
  what he's saying is that the chemistry in
• 13:07
  a, in a male body,
• 13:10
  because they use the testosterone more,
• 13:12
  you have to keep giving it to them,
• 13:15
  right?
• 13:15
  They have to keep taking it and keep
• 13:16
  taking it where a woman takes one time,
• 13:20
  one cycle,
• 13:21
  and it stays in their system for as
• 13:23
  long as their competitive career is there.
• 13:26
  I would argue probably more men have been
• 13:29
  on it in the past.
• 13:30
  And now the women are like kept equal.
• 13:34
  It also is maybe what he's like.
• 13:36
  They've realized that then.
• 13:38
  Well,
• 13:38
  and I guess maybe that means it's less
• 13:40
  because at any given time,
• 13:41
  there's way fewer women taking it because
• 13:43
  once they've taken it once.
• 13:46
  They're not taking it again.
• 13:47
  Right.
• 13:47
  So at any given time,
• 13:48
  there's probably way fewer women taking
• 13:50
  it.
• 13:50
  Doesn't mean that eighty percent of the
• 13:52
  women in the sport haven't taken it at
• 13:54
  some in the last ten years.
• 13:56
  Now,
• 13:56
  I've seen women in the sport that they've
• 13:58
  done way more than one cycle.
• 14:02
  So smart about it.
• 14:06
  Right.
• 14:07
  Very much.
• 14:08
  But there are definitely people I've seen
• 14:10
  at competitions and in person that I damn
• 14:14
  well know there's more than one cycle that
• 14:15
  have gone through that body.
• 14:20
  Yeah.
• 14:23
  But anyway, Oh boy.
• 14:29
  All right.
• 14:30
  Um,
• 14:31
  So that's that.
• 14:32
  We had fun football weekend.
• 14:35
  I got tons of texts from everybody.
• 14:37
  Thank you so much for sending out the
• 14:40
  congratulations for my Bears.
• 14:42
  It really did mean a lot that we've
• 14:44
  created this little community that people
• 14:46
  know I'm a Bears fan.
• 14:48
  People are sending me well wishes and
• 14:50
  stuff.
• 14:52
  So there it is.
• 14:55
  Did you see the MSU Ohio State hockey
• 14:58
  this weekend?
• 15:00
  I was fall football all the time.
• 15:02
  Yeah.
• 15:04
  MSU one Friday and then Ohio state one
• 15:08
  yesterday.
• 15:09
  So they split.
• 15:12
  Um,
• 15:13
  I see someone added something to the
• 15:14
  agenda here.
• 15:15
  Uh, the pit season two started this week.
• 15:18
  Did it?
• 15:20
  Is that, was that you?
• 15:24
  Was it Lex?
• 15:25
  Maybe Lex.
• 15:26
  She also messaged me earlier about Mode
• 15:29
  Classic as well.
• 15:30
  Oh, yeah.
• 15:31
  Yeah.
• 15:35
  Maybe it was Lex.
• 15:36
  I watched Pitt season two today.
• 15:38
  Did you?
• 15:40
  I had the Niners-Eagles games on one TV
• 15:43
  and Pitt on the other.
• 15:47
  Gosh, it started off with a bang.
• 15:51
  Right.
• 15:52
  Yeah.
• 15:53
  I mean, it left on a bang.
• 15:54
  I can't even imagine.
• 15:56
  Well, if you remember last season,
• 15:57
  like the ending actually calmed down.
• 15:59
  Like they were done with the big shooting
• 16:04
  and getting through all that.
• 16:06
  And they were all kind of in the
• 16:06
  park just decompressing.
• 16:08
  That's kind of how it ended.
• 16:10
  And this one, it's the Fourth of July,
• 16:14
  seven a.m.
• 16:14
  They're reporting for work.
• 16:17
  And some of the doctors have moved up
• 16:20
  a step in the
• 16:23
  So it's like five or six months later.
• 16:25
  Okay.
• 16:26
  And it already is off and rolling.
• 16:31
  I'll have to watch it when we get
• 16:33
  off this.
• 16:33
  I got to catch up.
• 16:35
  It's only one episode right now.
• 16:36
  Okay.
• 16:38
  But it's just like the last time.
• 16:40
  Each episode is one hour of the day.
• 16:43
  And away they went.
• 16:50
  Bob Ross, yes, we can hear you.
• 16:53
  From the great beyond with your happy
• 16:54
  little trees.
• 17:02
  Okay.
• 17:05
  Carol,
• 17:05
  did you get in a tilly in your
• 17:07
  hockey days?
• 17:09
  Do you know what that means?
• 17:10
  Not a clue.
• 17:11
  What would be your guess?
• 17:14
  A fight?
• 17:16
  Yeah.
• 17:16
  I fought.
• 17:17
  So I used to play boys hockey up
• 17:18
  until fourteen.
• 17:20
  I fought once before.
• 17:22
  on the boy's side, on the boy's side,
• 17:24
  not on the girl's side.
• 17:25
  And I won pretty easily.
• 17:26
  I had to throw that humble brag in.
• 17:31
  Well, the ref,
• 17:34
  the ref like winked at me when I
• 17:35
  was in the box.
• 17:36
  Like he was like happy for me.
• 17:40
  So is it like in young blood,
• 17:41
  they teach you like to grab the Jersey,
• 17:44
  pull it over the head to tie them
• 17:45
  up and boom, boom, boom.
• 17:47
  Or did you just start swinging?
• 17:50
  Well,
• 17:51
  the guy was trying to provoke me to
• 17:52
  get because the playoffs were coming up.
• 17:54
  And at that point,
• 17:56
  like I was the top player on the
• 17:57
  team.
• 17:57
  I was like that I was on and
• 17:59
  they're trying to get me kicked out.
• 18:00
  So I had to defend myself.
• 18:02
  I didn't start it.
• 18:04
  But I just started just punching him super
• 18:06
  fast.
• 18:06
  And then he fell and I just continued.
• 18:08
  This is what I love about Carolyn.
• 18:12
  I was training boxing.
• 18:13
  I was doing Taekwondo at the time,
• 18:15
  but I never fought in boxing,
• 18:17
  but I trained boxing just to stay in
• 18:19
  shape.
• 18:21
  So it was so slow to me.
• 18:24
  I understand all that.
• 18:25
  I understand that.
• 18:26
  But this is what I love about your
• 18:27
  stories.
• 18:28
  Well,
• 18:28
  they were trying to get me kicked out
• 18:29
  because I was the best player on the
• 18:30
  team.
• 18:30
  it's a hundred percent boys team.
• 18:33
  Like she is letting it know that I
• 18:35
  was the shit back in the day.
• 18:37
  I mean, I was like, Oh,
• 18:37
  I was like, Oh, I was like, Oh,
• 18:38
  I was like, Oh, I was like, Oh,
• 18:39
  I was like, Oh, I was like, Oh,
• 18:41
  I was like, Oh, I was like, Oh,
• 18:42
  I was like, Oh, I was like, Oh,
• 18:43
  I was like, Oh, I was like, Oh,
• 18:44
  I was like, Oh, I was like, Oh,
• 18:45
  I was like, Oh, I was like, Oh,
• 18:45
  I was like, Oh, I was like, Oh,
• 18:46
  I was like, Oh, I was like, Oh,
• 18:47
  I was like, Oh, I was like, Oh,
• 18:48
  I was like, Oh, I was like, Oh,
• 18:49
  I was like, Oh, I was like, Oh,
• 18:49
  I was like, Oh, I was like, Oh,
• 18:50
  I was like, Oh, I was like, Oh,
• 18:51
  I was like, Oh, I was like,
• 18:51
  Oh
• 18:52
  like back to the woman's game,
• 18:54
  unless sometimes certain positions can
• 18:56
  stay longer,
• 18:57
  like if you're a goalie and stuff like
• 18:59
  that.
• 18:59
  But, yeah,
• 19:00
  we just developed faster at first.
• 19:02
  Yeah.
• 19:04
  So I was able to hang for some
• 19:07
  years.
• 19:08
  Yeah.
• 19:10
  Bob Ross.
• 19:11
  It was fun.
• 19:11
  It was a fun fight.
• 19:17
  Fergie says,
• 19:19
  Carolyn has a perfectly straight nose,
• 19:20
  which tells me she won her tilly.
• 19:26
  Ken is you want to get their jersey
• 19:28
  up over their head to lock their arms
• 19:29
  down.
• 19:30
  That's why you will see the guys take
• 19:31
  their jerseys off before the fight as it's
• 19:34
  getting pulled up.
• 19:35
  Yeah.
• 19:35
  Yank on it.
• 19:39
  When I lived in Florida,
• 19:40
  Julie and I were season ticket holders to
• 19:42
  a minor league hockey team down there.
• 19:45
  And there are way more fights in minor
• 19:48
  league hockey than there are in like the
• 19:49
  NHL.
• 19:50
  Did you see – it's been all over
• 19:52
  the internet.
• 19:53
  These young little kids.
• 19:55
  I don't know if it was like –
• 19:56
  you know,
• 19:57
  it looked like it was between the periods.
• 20:00
  You know how they have like little teams
• 20:01
  playing?
• 20:02
  It looked like one of those little kids.
• 20:06
  And everyone is out fighting,
• 20:07
  and there was no adults at all,
• 20:09
  no referees.
• 20:10
  This goalie comes from the other side and
• 20:13
  just skates as hard as he can and
• 20:15
  just nails a little kid.
• 20:16
  And it was like all over,
• 20:18
  and I was like,
• 20:18
  this is –
• 20:20
  stupid.
• 20:23
  Yeah,
• 20:26
  it was like all over today and yet
• 20:27
  or yesterday, like Instagram.
• 20:30
  But the only thing about Instagram now
• 20:33
  that I hate is you can't tell if
• 20:34
  it's real or AI.
• 20:37
  agree there's an ai version of um ben
• 20:41
  johnson's handshake with matt lafleur and
• 20:44
  now it was a blow by handshake he
• 20:46
  they do not like each other it was
• 20:48
  quick but there's an there's an ai version
• 20:50
  where he stops and does like a karate
• 20:53
  kick to matt lafleur's face but i i
• 20:59
  wish that there was a rule that if
• 21:01
  ai is used like there has to be
• 21:03
  something that's written that it's ai
• 21:05
  You're supposed to.
• 21:06
  If you post something on Instagram and
• 21:10
  it's AI, you're supposed to say it.
• 21:12
  Just like YouTube.
• 21:13
  We're doing this now.
• 21:15
  I get asked every time I post a
• 21:16
  video, is there AI included?
• 21:22
  I swear they've taken regular clips and
• 21:25
  added the Sora image just to make people
• 21:29
  think it is AI when it wasn't.
• 21:32
  Yeah, Sora watermarks it.
• 21:34
  But I'm telling you,
• 21:35
  I think they're taking actual videos and
• 21:36
  adding the watermark.
• 21:39
  Just so that, like,
• 21:40
  you can't trust anything.
• 21:45
  Well,
• 21:45
  I wanted to get this next thing set
• 21:47
  up,
• 21:49
  but I didn't have time because I was
• 21:51
  scrambling to get a thumbnail done.
• 21:53
  And hopefully it's still on my story.
• 21:56
  But I had reposted something that Carolyn
• 22:00
  posted.
• 22:03
  and it's gone of course uh you were
• 22:06
  being an athlete again doing these
• 22:09
  one-legged hops for for i don't know how
• 22:14
  what was the distance you were doing them
• 22:16
  was there a goal with each one of
• 22:17
  the one-legged hops and why do you mix
• 22:20
  that into your crossfit training is it for
• 22:22
  variety or enjoyment or what
• 22:25
  Normally every Saturday I try to do like
• 22:29
  in my accessory plyometric stuff.
• 22:31
  So like I'll have something written and
• 22:34
  then sometimes I just go off course.
• 22:36
  And if I'm like in the zone of
• 22:38
  doing, working on something,
• 22:40
  I'll just start.
• 22:42
  adding other things to it or changing it
• 22:44
  up um but it's just so i at
• 22:46
  least keep up weekly some sort of jumping
• 22:51
  or lateral work of anything really um yeah
• 22:56
  i like i like that type of training
• 23:01
  I did a piece this week on launch
• 23:02
  that I think athletic movements are
• 23:05
  missing from CrossFit.
• 23:06
  And I think we used to have those
• 23:09
  and people can make fun of the softball
• 23:10
  throw and the broad jump and all those
• 23:12
  things,
• 23:12
  but it brought some form of athleticism to
• 23:16
  the CrossFit games back in the early days.
• 23:19
  And I think we've gone,
• 23:21
  and especially with it being outside,
• 23:22
  it added more athleticism.
• 23:24
  There were more sprints.
• 23:25
  There were, even when you had the zigzag,
• 23:28
  the zigzag sprints, right?
• 23:31
  We've gotten rid of all of that.
• 23:32
  And the more it moves inside,
• 23:35
  the more we lose all of that aspect
• 23:37
  of it all.
• 23:38
  Yeah,
• 23:38
  because we test running at the games,
• 23:42
  mid-distance, long-distance.
• 23:44
  And we assume that a lot of these
• 23:46
  athletes that are bad runners are horrible
• 23:49
  runners.
• 23:49
  But if you actually tested a sprint event,
• 23:52
  we'd be saying a lot of bad sprinters
• 23:54
  out there.
• 23:54
  It's the same thing.
• 23:56
  I'm not a bad runner.
• 23:58
  I'm just a good sprinter,
• 23:59
  which makes me not good for endurance.
• 24:03
  But we just never test it.
• 24:05
  Like a pure sprint.
• 24:07
  Yeah.
• 24:08
  We haven't rode a real bike since we
• 24:09
  left Madison either.
• 24:12
  Yeah.
• 24:15
  Hunting cardio bunnies.
• 24:16
  Larry says rumor rich might help program
• 24:19
  the open.
• 24:20
  So great.
• 24:20
  Please happen.
• 24:21
  Not same as last couple of years, please.
• 24:23
  And thank you for the four ninety nine.
• 24:28
  Larry, we appreciate that.
• 24:29
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 24:35
  i'm okay with other people programming the
• 24:37
  open as long as they are true to
• 24:41
  what crossfit is yeah it's just got to
• 24:49
  be the right tests to it's got to
• 24:52
  be community inclusive i i think and i
• 24:54
  get that people are like oh it's it's
• 24:56
  too easy it filters down properly it moves
• 25:00
  along
• 25:01
  to the next stage.
• 25:03
  Um, I, I would,
• 25:05
  I would like to think rich wouldn't put
• 25:07
  a lift in.
• 25:07
  So, I mean,
• 25:08
  that gives me some peace of mind there.
• 25:13
  Yeah.
• 25:13
  I, I would hope so too.
• 25:17
  I, I think in a three week open,
• 25:19
  you just cannot do a lift.
• 25:21
  Right.
• 25:21
  Um, but what I,
• 25:23
  what I miss is what I miss is
• 25:26
  like,
• 25:28
  you earning your way into like a higher
• 25:31
  skill movement.
• 25:33
  I wouldn't be surprised if we see one
• 25:34
  of those regard,
• 25:36
  like regardless if it's Dave or may have
• 25:38
  the right muscle up at the end or
• 25:39
  the heavy lift progression with the
• 25:42
  certain gymnastics or metabolic piece to
• 25:45
  at least,
• 25:46
  or the time gated workouts three minutes.
• 25:48
  Yeah.
• 25:49
  Yeah.
• 25:53
  I just, I, I, I miss that.
• 25:56
  Cause even like my,
• 25:57
  I think my first ever open,
• 26:00
  there were muscle ups at the end.
• 26:03
  It was like thirteen, thirteen, four,
• 26:07
  thirteen,
• 26:07
  where it started off with Karen and then
• 26:09
  you had the ninety double unders and then,
• 26:13
  and then muscle ups.
• 26:15
  That was the one that Kristen Clever did
• 26:17
  with
• 26:19
  feel like the the demo of that one
• 26:21
  was or the face off of that one
• 26:23
  was clever and someone else yeah i um
• 26:30
  i just missed those where you could you
• 26:32
  got to earn your way to those stages
• 26:34
  right or yeah no i agree those are
• 26:38
  good
• 26:41
  I feel like they've done a pretty good
• 26:43
  job of workouts like that.
• 26:44
  There's been lots of workouts over the
• 26:45
  last few years that have gone progressive
• 26:47
  gymnastics.
• 26:48
  We've gone from toe-to-bar to chest-to-bar
• 26:50
  to bar muscle-up.
• 26:52
  We haven't seen the time-gated workouts.
• 26:57
  Last year's Open had the... Yes.
• 27:05
  I think they've had some pretty good
• 27:06
  workouts like that.
• 27:10
  I think it was Fouché that did that.
• 27:12
  Yeah, it might have been.
• 27:16
  He also says,
• 27:17
  nothing feels like accomplishment in the
• 27:19
  recent Open.
• 27:21
  And I do think like the first couple
• 27:25
  workouts of the Open should be very open
• 27:28
  to the community.
• 27:30
  And I'm okay with like even the beginning
• 27:32
  of the third one being open to the
• 27:34
  community,
• 27:35
  but like a gateway to other things.
• 27:38
  Do you think we see four tests this
• 27:39
  year?
• 27:43
  A part two that's not necessarily a lift?
• 27:47
  I don't.
• 27:47
  I think they're looking at quarterfinals
• 27:49
  this week, four and five,
• 27:51
  combined into one thing.
• 27:56
  What I'd really like to see is what
• 27:57
  we talked about,
• 27:58
  where the Open carries over to
• 28:01
  quarterfinals,
• 28:01
  and then you have a seven-event test that
• 28:06
  gets you to semifinals.
• 28:09
  Because it's a more complete picture.
• 28:12
  But we've talked, I mean,
• 28:13
  we have hammered that horse to death for
• 28:17
  sure.
• 28:17
  And like,
• 28:17
  that's the thing about the WFP that I
• 28:19
  like that every test matters.
• 28:22
  It's just the way that it's programmed
• 28:23
  wasn't right.
• 28:24
  But the idea of all events working
• 28:28
  together for like a full leaderboard to me
• 28:30
  makes sense as like finding the fittest of
• 28:35
  the year versus the fittest of a weekend
• 28:37
  on those tests.
• 28:44
  Sorry, I was just looking down.
• 28:46
  Kyle Shanahan just confirmed that George
• 28:48
  Kittle did tear his Achilles.
• 28:50
  Yeah,
• 28:50
  they confirmed it like almost right away
• 28:53
  during the game.
• 28:53
  Achilles injury, but they didn't say torn.
• 28:56
  No, I read torn.
• 28:57
  Oh, wow.
• 28:58
  Yeah,
• 28:58
  this just came across from Adam Schefter.
• 29:02
  So...
• 29:09
  With so many semis already doing their
• 29:10
  qualifiers,
• 29:11
  the open and quarters doesn't mean much
• 29:13
  anymore.
• 29:14
  Glad you brought that up because we are
• 29:16
  going to now move into our first.
• 29:19
  Well,
• 29:19
  I did have one more before we do
• 29:20
  that.
• 29:22
  Jamie,
• 29:22
  you're one of my best friends in the
• 29:24
  world.
• 29:25
  I care about you deeply.
• 29:27
  And I know you've had this surgery.
• 29:30
  And I know that you have been restricted
• 29:34
  from certain things.
• 29:35
  Yet, I go to your YouTube channel.
• 29:39
  I go to your Instagram.
• 29:41
  And I see you doing things that...
• 29:43
  if i recall correctly were on that
• 29:45
  restricted list uh from your doctor six
• 29:49
  months ago so i just wanted to confirm
• 29:53
  am i seeing things are those like videos
• 29:56
  from two years ago how long has it
• 29:58
  been six months no it has not been
• 30:01
  six months no we're not even at four
• 30:05
  september was when you had it done right
• 30:07
  yeah september october november december
• 30:10
  january five
• 30:12
  October would be one month.
• 30:13
  November, December,
• 30:14
  we're not even at four.
• 30:17
  It's almost sixteen weeks.
• 30:22
  Yeah, Scott, you're just seeing things.
• 30:25
  Nicole's telling me to shush.
• 30:28
  No, I mean, I don't know what...
• 30:31
  I mean, like I told you,
• 30:32
  I've been doing double-unders and
• 30:34
  toe-to-bar and pull-ups.
• 30:36
  I've been doing pull-ups and push-ups
• 30:37
  since two weeks after the surgery.
• 30:40
  So other than I was box squatting.
• 30:44
  I am not questioning your upper body
• 30:45
  workouts.
• 30:47
  Well, what have you seen that I've done?
• 30:50
  Squats.
• 30:51
  I have.
• 30:52
  So I was doing box squats for the
• 30:54
  last like four weeks and two weeks ago
• 30:58
  I squatted one sixty and then last week
• 31:01
  I squatted one eighty.
• 31:03
  So that's as heavy as I've gotten.
• 31:05
  I overhead squatted forty five pounds.
• 31:07
  So that's.
• 31:09
  We're really we're really moving there.
• 31:12
  So I guess my question is,
• 31:15
  is there a piece of your head that
• 31:18
  is saying I'm going to be ready end
• 31:21
  of February for week one of the open?
• 31:25
  Well,
• 31:25
  if the week one of the open is
• 31:27
  what I think it might be, yes,
• 31:28
  I think I will be ready.
• 31:35
  So you're signing up.
• 31:36
  I'll sign up.
• 31:37
  I said, I would sign up.
• 31:38
  I like, I mean, if there's a lift,
• 31:39
  whatever I'm out and it's the same
• 31:41
  quarterfinals.
• 31:41
  Like if there's something that we have to
• 31:44
  snatch even.
• 31:45
  A hundred and twenty-five.
• 31:46
  There's just no way I'll be able to
• 31:47
  do it.
• 31:47
  I can't even fathom trying to do a
• 31:51
  squat snatch right now.
• 31:51
  Like I can't, that dynamic,
• 31:53
  there's no way I could sit down into
• 31:55
  a quickly, um,
• 31:58
  very slowly can i squat with some weight
• 32:01
  yeah some not not a ton uh but
• 32:05
  we're january like semi-finals are may i'm
• 32:12
  just asking i'm just asking as a friend
• 32:14
  is there a piece of your head or
• 32:16
  a piece of your mind thinking i've got
• 32:19
  some time to still recover and there may
• 32:22
  be just maybe
• 32:25
  I mean, I'll just, like I said,
• 32:27
  we'll just go.
• 32:28
  And if workouts come in my favor of
• 32:30
  things that I've been working on, cool.
• 32:33
  If, if not, then I,
• 32:35
  then it is what it is.
• 32:36
  And I just keep building and I'm out
• 32:39
  sooner.
• 32:39
  That's fine.
• 32:40
  I don't, I,
• 32:41
  I think there's certain things I can do.
• 32:42
  Like I toes about her feeling just about
• 32:45
  fine.
• 32:46
  Um, maybe not in like,
• 32:48
  I don't think I could go do.
• 32:50
  Right now,
• 32:51
  but I can certainly do sets of twenty
• 32:54
  five.
• 32:55
  Fairly reasonable.
• 32:56
  Like we did eighteen point one on Friday,
• 32:58
  the twenty minute AMRAP of.
• 33:00
  That's eight total bar, five per side,
• 33:03
  dumbbell clean and jerk in the row.
• 33:05
  That was fine.
• 33:06
  But eight total bars, nothing.
• 33:09
  Sure.
• 33:10
  Yeah, I'll sign up for the open.
• 33:11
  I was never not going to sign up
• 33:12
  for the open.
• 33:14
  That's a support.
• 33:15
  Yes, that's something I'm going to do.
• 33:18
  I'll probably sign up for quarters and
• 33:20
  we'll see.
• 33:23
  So you are going to finish top twenty
• 33:25
  five percent in the open because you are
• 33:28
  very confident you're signing up for open
• 33:30
  or for quarters.
• 33:32
  And I'm cool with that.
• 33:34
  I think you would make quarters.
• 33:37
  For sure.
• 33:38
  Yeah, I again,
• 33:41
  even at like not one hundred percent,
• 33:43
  I feel like you would make it.
• 33:45
  I would like to think so.
• 33:46
  Other barring like barring a lift in the
• 33:49
  open and me just like not really being
• 33:51
  able to
• 33:52
  A lift could change a lot of the
• 33:54
  leaderboard in the open if there's three
• 33:55
  events.
• 33:57
  That would skew it way too much.
• 34:00
  I need to address this.
• 34:03
  Tony says,
• 34:04
  what are your thoughts about CrossFit
• 34:05
  athlete that does full-time versus those
• 34:08
  who have full-time jobs and train
• 34:10
  afterwards?
• 34:10
  Is it an advantage?
• 34:12
  Andrew comes and says,
• 34:13
  I don't think there are any elite
• 34:15
  individual CrossFit athletes that have a
• 34:17
  full-time job anymore.
• 34:18
  There are.
• 34:20
  The person on this
• 34:23
  She was a CrossFit games athlete in twenty
• 34:24
  twenty five.
• 34:25
  She's a full time teacher.
• 34:27
  There she is.
• 34:29
  And Emily Rolfe is a full time
• 34:33
  radiologist,
• 34:34
  whatever they call that up in Canada.
• 34:37
  And she's been a games athlete for several
• 34:39
  years.
• 34:41
  Yeah,
• 34:41
  I think she like reads all the scans
• 34:43
  or not reads them,
• 34:45
  puts the people in the scans, I think.
• 34:47
  Yeah.
• 34:50
  so and i think it all depends on
• 34:53
  the athlete
• 34:55
  And what fits better for them?
• 34:57
  There's some athletes that don't want to
• 35:00
  spend all day in the gym.
• 35:01
  They have their mission.
• 35:03
  And I think if you ask Carolyn this,
• 35:05
  she likes to go in,
• 35:06
  get her stuff done, no wasted time.
• 35:09
  Except for the weekends.
• 35:10
  The weekends,
• 35:11
  I am so slow to get everything done
• 35:13
  because all of a sudden I'm not working
• 35:15
  and I'm at the gym way too long
• 35:17
  socializing and doing nothing for...
• 35:21
  Two to two hours doing nothing.
• 35:24
  And I'm like, that's what in my mind,
• 35:25
  I'm like,
• 35:26
  that's what the full time athletes do is
• 35:28
  they say that they're at the gym for
• 35:29
  eight hours,
• 35:30
  but they're not training for eight hours.
• 35:32
  There's no way they're just eating,
• 35:35
  doing their social media,
• 35:37
  talking and training here and there.
• 35:41
  Didn't Christy Aramo coach while she was
• 35:43
  competing?
• 35:44
  She did.
• 35:44
  She owned and ran her gym,
• 35:47
  but she had a very good support team.
• 35:49
  And when it got close to the games,
• 35:51
  her coaching hours definitely decreased.
• 35:56
  I'd say there's quite a few of those
• 35:58
  kinds of people still around.
• 36:00
  Colton has three jobs, farm pigs,
• 36:02
  breeds wieners, and makes soap.
• 36:06
  Man of many talents.
• 36:08
  Yeah,
• 36:08
  I think there's a few people at the
• 36:10
  games that definitely have jobs or, like,
• 36:13
  they're coaching, like,
• 36:17
  at their affiliate at least for some hours
• 36:19
  in the week.
• 36:20
  Maybe not, like, full time,
• 36:21
  but has something to do.
• 36:23
  I think it just makes you more focused
• 36:25
  in your training to get it done in
• 36:27
  a certain amount of time versus, like,
• 36:30
  more wasted time.
• 36:33
  Tony says,
• 36:33
  I just watched the CrossFit Games,
• 36:36
  and it was so amazing watching them do
• 36:37
  the run and heavy bags up the Capitol
• 36:39
  steps.
• 36:40
  Just awesome.
• 36:41
  Well, thank you.
• 36:42
  That was an awesome event.
• 36:44
  That's my favorite event I've ever done,
• 36:46
  I think.
• 36:47
  And I want to say welcome to the
• 36:49
  community, Tony,
• 36:49
  because that's just the tip of the
• 36:51
  iceberg.
• 36:52
  As you dive in more,
• 36:53
  we love having you in the chat.
• 36:55
  We love having you as part of the
• 36:56
  community.
• 36:57
  Thank you for joining in and checking all
• 36:58
  that stuff out.
• 37:00
  We are all CrossFit geeks, just like that.
• 37:07
  Um,
• 37:07
  Lydia fish was also mentioned that she's
• 37:09
  waitressing that I know they're trying to
• 37:10
  talk her out of that.
• 37:11
  Um, but,
• 37:13
  but I am a firm believer after talking
• 37:14
  to Carolyn all these years that some
• 37:16
  people don't,
• 37:17
  it's not good for them to have that
• 37:19
  much time on their hands.
• 37:20
  I think Lydia said that in her little
• 37:22
  documentary.
• 37:25
  I even remember like Emma Lawson at one
• 37:27
  point saying once she was done high school
• 37:30
  and transitioned to a full-time athlete,
• 37:32
  that it was hard for her to just
• 37:34
  not be like on a certain.
• 37:36
  you know,
• 37:37
  routine and schedule where you can just,
• 37:41
  you know,
• 37:41
  waste so much time at the gym,
• 37:42
  Pat Delner.
• 37:43
  I mean, he's,
• 37:44
  he was doing chiropractor work like during
• 37:49
  game season, all the time.
• 37:49
  I think the last two years he's done
• 37:51
  less of it, but during the off season,
• 37:53
  he definitely goes back and does his
• 37:55
  chiropractor stuff.
• 37:56
  So when Brent was famously was an
• 37:59
  accountant for Matt, much of his career,
• 38:03
  but he did leave that.
• 38:05
  So,
• 38:07
  Anyway, let's get into the pencil, pen,
• 38:12
  and Sharpie.
• 38:13
  I did get those loaded in.
• 38:15
  So the way it's going to work this
• 38:16
  week is this is actually going to start
• 38:18
  a topic.
• 38:19
  We are going to hit the pen, pencil,
• 38:21
  or Sharpie.
• 38:22
  And then we have a couple of talking
• 38:23
  points with that.
• 38:24
  So the first one for this week.
• 38:27
  Is pencil, pen, or Sharpie,
• 38:29
  should the Open be the beginning of the
• 38:31
  CrossFit Games season,
• 38:33
  or is it okay that qualifiers are?
• 38:36
  So the pencil, pen, or Sharpie part is,
• 38:38
  should it be the CrossFit Games Open that
• 38:41
  opens the season?
• 38:43
  Sharpie.
• 38:44
  Sharpie.
• 38:48
  Sharpie, Sharpie.
• 38:50
  We got a pen.
• 38:53
  Yes, the open should be.
• 38:54
  That's not a pencil, pen, or Sharpie,
• 38:55
  Tristan.
• 38:57
  Sharpie for Andrew.
• 38:59
  Sharpie AF from Tristan.
• 39:01
  Finally, he jumps on board, right?
• 39:04
  Sharpie from Terry.
• 39:08
  Bold Sharpie from Eric Mackey.
• 39:11
  Pen from Clock Cutter.
• 39:13
  And I'll let you guys talk first.
• 39:15
  So why should it be the open to
• 39:18
  the CrossFit game season?
• 39:19
  People are just starting to get – it
• 39:21
  was Christmas time for a lot of people
• 39:23
  that celebrate that.
• 39:25
  They took time with their family,
• 39:26
  took time off of training or maybe weren't
• 39:29
  training as much.
• 39:30
  In January,
• 39:31
  a lot of times when people start getting
• 39:32
  back in the routine,
• 39:34
  within a few days you already have
• 39:35
  qualifiers.
• 39:35
  You're supposed to be in somewhat shape to
• 39:37
  qualify.
• 39:38
  Then it seems like so far away to
• 39:41
  the semifinal.
• 39:43
  Last year –
• 39:44
  or in the past years even,
• 39:46
  NorCal was January qualifier,
• 39:48
  and I think the comp wasn't until
• 39:49
  September.
• 39:50
  There's so much that can happen even
• 39:51
  between those months of training.
• 39:55
  I just think the Open starts the season,
• 39:58
  and people can begin there.
• 40:03
  From there, they can go off.
• 40:06
  I said it to you guys after the
• 40:07
  show.
• 40:09
  last week i think um i think the
• 40:11
  like people like uh qualifiers like norcal
• 40:14
  or um what other one is going on
• 40:17
  right now lat am whatever like i think
• 40:21
  they should just use the open leaderboard
• 40:24
  and then if they need to make that
• 40:25
  money you sign up also for norcal
• 40:29
  And Latin, whatever other one they have.
• 40:33
  And you pay your twenty five or whatever
• 40:35
  it is.
• 40:36
  So they can still get their money,
• 40:37
  but we don't have to do all these
• 40:38
  qualifiers on top of doing the open soon.
• 40:40
  And you just save the athletes a little
• 40:44
  bit from doing multiple qualifiers.
• 40:46
  And then they could review the videos
• 40:48
  there.
• 40:50
  I get it would be two different
• 40:51
  leaderboards because if they penalize on
• 40:53
  their leaderboard versus the open doesn't
• 40:55
  look at any videos, but top five.
• 40:59
  But still,
• 40:59
  I just think use those workouts,
• 41:02
  create your own leaderboard.
• 41:03
  If you want to sign up,
• 41:04
  if NorCal is the competition you want to
• 41:05
  go to,
• 41:06
  you just post your score in two
• 41:08
  leaderboards, Open and NorCal.
• 41:10
  Because they did it like that during the
• 41:12
  sanctional season a few years ago.
• 41:15
  A few of the sanctionals did it that
• 41:17
  way.
• 41:18
  And I thought that that was cool that
• 41:20
  you didn't have to redo the same workouts
• 41:22
  or like different workouts.
• 41:26
  Yeah.
• 41:26
  Which some, someone says here,
• 41:29
  they're getting other people who may not
• 41:32
  be doing this.
• 41:33
  I know this is another question of Scott,
• 41:34
  so it's going to kind of tie into
• 41:35
  it,
• 41:36
  but they're getting people who maybe
• 41:37
  wouldn't be in the open to sign up
• 41:39
  for their qualifier.
• 41:42
  I want to address some comments.
• 41:43
  I'm going to fall behind if I don't.
• 41:44
  Okay.
• 41:45
  And Penn,
• 41:46
  I don't know if this matters that much
• 41:47
  to me, but I see why people care.
• 41:50
  Engraved in stone.
• 41:52
  College football got weird with week zero.
• 41:54
  Yeah.
• 41:56
  Um,
• 41:56
  the fact that we are doing calls right
• 41:58
  now for a comp in the summer before
• 42:00
  TFX has happened before open registration
• 42:02
  is even open is just bananas to me.
• 42:05
  Uh, Vicki says pencil.
• 42:08
  I think it should too,
• 42:09
  but it's only the only way qualifiers can
• 42:11
  do it.
• 42:13
  Um, see,
• 42:13
  I don't think it's the only way.
• 42:14
  Yeah.
• 42:15
  I think they could use the open.
• 42:17
  They could.
• 42:19
  To be clear,
• 42:19
  what Carolyn's saying is like,
• 42:20
  if I know I want to sign up
• 42:22
  for Dalmar, LATAM, and NorCal,
• 42:25
  I would pay my twenty dollar open
• 42:26
  registration and three more.
• 42:29
  All ten of them or twelve of them
• 42:31
  would be listed and I'd click open one,
• 42:33
  two, three,
• 42:34
  and I would submit eighty dollars.
• 42:36
  And three of them would go to those
• 42:38
  respective.
• 42:39
  And if
• 42:40
  two,
• 42:40
  three hundred people did that in each of
• 42:42
  the, you know, that wanted to do that,
• 42:43
  that would have been signing up for that
• 42:44
  qualifier anyway.
• 42:46
  That'd be their own.
• 42:48
  You're still going to get that sign up
• 42:50
  and they don't have to do it.
• 42:52
  They don't have to do four extra workouts
• 42:54
  on the side right now.
• 42:55
  Like when we're trying, it's crazy.
• 42:57
  It's, it's too many workouts,
• 42:59
  online qualifier workouts for athletes to
• 43:01
  be doing.
• 43:02
  If they want to do maybe like other
• 43:05
  divisions, like intermediate or, um,
• 43:09
  masters intermediate masters scaled maybe
• 43:13
  that i think you could just still sign
• 43:17
  up and then rank like you sign up
• 43:19
  for the intermediate division and then you
• 43:21
  rank your score based off of other people
• 43:23
  that signed up for that division correct
• 43:27
  or they could i guess do like for
• 43:29
  those divisions you could do a qualifier
• 43:30
  but like for the main ones the open
• 43:32
  should start
• 43:34
  Yeah.
• 43:34
  For elite.
• 43:35
  And I mean, I think masters,
• 43:37
  it shouldn't matter.
• 43:38
  You're going to,
• 43:38
  that's going to feed out anyway, Larry,
• 43:40
  they would get the money.
• 43:41
  Like, like I said, like those separate,
• 43:44
  when you sign up,
• 43:45
  those separate entities would get their
• 43:47
  twenty, twenty five bucks,
• 43:48
  just as if it's their qualifier.
• 43:57
  Fill the pooper,
• 43:57
  the open isn't good enough to test to
• 43:59
  qualify for a semifinal.
• 44:04
  I disagree with that.
• 44:05
  And I don't know if we're talking about
• 44:06
  NorCal, but like they talked about that.
• 44:09
  Like these workouts are,
• 44:11
  they want people to be able to do
• 44:13
  them in their gyms and there might be
• 44:15
  like the time caps might be really long
• 44:19
  for an elite,
• 44:20
  but they want people to be,
• 44:22
  they want anyone to do the workouts and
• 44:24
  try to get through them.
• 44:24
  And so someone might do a workout that's
• 44:28
  capped at twelve and six minutes.
• 44:30
  So what?
• 44:32
  Who cares?
• 44:35
  Um, Vicki says not everyone does the open.
• 44:36
  So that plan wouldn't work.
• 44:37
  We're going to get into that in a
• 44:38
  second.
• 44:38
  Yeah.
• 44:39
  But this was forced people to do the
• 44:40
  open, right?
• 44:43
  Well, here's my, here's my thing.
• 44:45
  One,
• 44:45
  they are kind of forced to do the
• 44:46
  open.
• 44:46
  If you want to compete in the game
• 44:48
  season,
• 44:49
  the rules say you have to finish in
• 44:50
  the top two thousand for to be able
• 44:54
  to go on to the games.
• 44:55
  Correct.
• 44:56
  If you do not, you don't,
• 44:58
  you are not eligible to compete at the
• 45:00
  CrossFit Games.
• 45:02
  But here's my thing.
• 45:04
  And I know everybody gets sick of me
• 45:06
  comparing to other sports.
• 45:08
  If you are on the PGA Tour and
• 45:13
  you are trying to qualify for the US
• 45:15
  Open, the British Open,
• 45:18
  the PGA Championship, all of those events,
• 45:22
  you can't go to the Nationwide Tour and
• 45:25
  play three events to qualify into the PGA
• 45:29
  Tour Championships.
• 45:32
  Right.
• 45:32
  You can't go to live and compete at
• 45:36
  three events of live and expect that to
• 45:38
  get you into the PGA championship.
• 45:41
  Right.
• 45:42
  I think where we've gone wrong is because
• 45:45
  CrossFit's broke and they have all these
• 45:46
  third party people and they're letting
• 45:48
  them do it however they wish.
• 45:51
  It's created it where the season doesn't
• 45:53
  make sense.
• 45:55
  and here we are back on the same
• 45:56
  argument I've had every other year is that
• 45:59
  now you have all these caveats to the
• 46:01
  ways to get to the CrossFit games.
• 46:05
  Even if you do have to do the
• 46:06
  open in the quarters to get to the
• 46:08
  games,
• 46:10
  You have all these other avenues or things
• 46:12
  you have to do to qualify in to
• 46:14
  get yourself to these places.
• 46:16
  And I think the more exceptions we allow
• 46:19
  to happen, the more confusing it gets.
• 46:22
  And these exceptions of qualifiers before
• 46:25
  the open is just another piece where it's
• 46:28
  confusing the season.
• 46:30
  Now,
• 46:31
  I understand for NorCal and their
• 46:32
  community event,
• 46:33
  this is the time that they can get
• 46:35
  people in where they have time to do
• 46:36
  it.
• 46:38
  They get a lot of people that do
• 46:39
  it too.
• 46:40
  Right.
• 46:40
  And like their event gets like thousands
• 46:43
  of people.
• 46:43
  It's like, it's a huge event.
• 46:44
  They do a really good job for the
• 46:45
  community.
• 46:46
  I'm not speaking about NorCal doing a
• 46:48
  qualifier for their community event
• 46:51
  whenever you want to do it.
• 46:52
  But if you are part of the game
• 46:54
  season,
• 46:55
  then you should all follow the same
• 46:57
  structure getting through the season.
• 47:01
  Yes.
• 47:01
  A hundred percent.
• 47:04
  Which I think should start with the Open.
• 47:06
  The Open should start the season, yes.
• 47:09
  Because you're like, oh crap,
• 47:10
  which one should I be doing right now?
• 47:13
  You're not even thinking about that right
• 47:14
  now, but you're like, oh,
• 47:15
  these two or three are happening in
• 47:17
  January.
• 47:19
  I need to be in shape in January
• 47:20
  to get through to be able to do
• 47:23
  these semifinals.
• 47:28
  So we have NorCal qualifiers already out
• 47:30
  there.
• 47:31
  Do we want to do we even want
• 47:32
  to look at the workouts?
• 47:33
  We're already forty seven minutes into
• 47:35
  this thing.
• 47:36
  What?
• 47:37
  Five of them.
• 47:39
  Six words, I think you started them,
• 47:41
  Carolyn.
• 47:42
  Yeah, I've done two of them so far.
• 47:44
  I did the Bushwacker one today.
• 47:46
  How was that?
• 47:47
  It was fun.
• 47:48
  My butt sore today.
• 47:51
  Yeah.
• 47:52
  Right.
• 47:52
  When I finished, I was like, OK,
• 47:53
  I've definitely not done like weighted
• 47:55
  lunges for speed.
• 47:58
  I was like, well, this is,
• 47:59
  this is going to be my warmup today.
• 48:00
  Cause I had burpee.
• 48:01
  I had,
• 48:02
  I literally had burpee shuttles in my like
• 48:04
  conditioning.
• 48:04
  I'm like, okay, I'll just do this.
• 48:07
  I woke up this morning and my glutes
• 48:09
  and butt is sore.
• 48:11
  Great.
• 48:11
  No, not looking forward to that.
• 48:14
  The bushwalkers were like,
• 48:17
  they weren't like difficult to do.
• 48:18
  Like they're cool.
• 48:19
  Like, I don't know.
• 48:19
  Like I thought it was fine.
• 48:20
  Yeah.
• 48:20
  Yeah.
• 48:23
  And I think the burpee shuttle run is
• 48:25
  actually a cool movement.
• 48:28
  I like it.
• 48:29
  I like that a lot.
• 48:31
  Can we go through an order?
• 48:33
  What's the first one?
• 48:35
  Barbell chipper.
• 48:36
  Okay.
• 48:37
  Ten snatch, twenty clean, thirty deadlift,
• 48:39
  forty bar-facing burpees,
• 48:40
  and then back down.
• 48:42
  What's the weight on that?
• 48:43
  Ninety-five, one thirty-five.
• 48:45
  Okay,
• 48:46
  so just ninety-five all the way through.
• 48:47
  Just get through it.
• 48:48
  I might try to do that one.
• 48:49
  I think I can move ninety-five.
• 48:51
  grippy yeah that sounds gnarly grippy yeah
• 49:00
  and then here is workout two and three
• 49:04
  um one rep shoulder to overhead five
• 49:07
  minutes to establish one rep shoulder to
• 49:09
  overhead and then crash bang six minute
• 49:12
  mark and wrap of five four three two
• 49:15
  one two three four five four three and
• 49:18
  so on a front squat ring muscle up
• 49:22
  What's the weight on that front squat?
• 49:23
  I think it's one twenty five I have
• 49:27
  in my head.
• 49:28
  They don't have it on here.
• 49:30
  I think it's one eighty five one twenty
• 49:31
  five.
• 49:31
  That's what I have in my head right
• 49:32
  now.
• 49:32
  OK, I haven't done that one.
• 49:35
  I'm dreading it.
• 49:37
  Not for part two, for part one.
• 49:40
  Yeah.
• 49:43
  And then we have this one.
• 49:48
  It is number four.
• 49:51
  Uh, grip and rip three rounds for time,
• 49:53
  thirty pull ups,
• 49:54
  three hundred foot traveling double
• 49:56
  unders.
• 49:57
  This time cap is very tight.
• 49:59
  Is it?
• 49:59
  I haven't done it.
• 50:00
  I haven't done it,
• 50:01
  but I've had a few friends that have
• 50:02
  done it.
• 50:03
  Um, just tight time, tight, tight,
• 50:07
  tight time.
• 50:08
  So I might try that on tomorrow.
• 50:09
  We have double unders in class.
• 50:11
  I've been doing double unders,
• 50:12
  but traveling gives me a little bit of
• 50:17
  apprehension.
• 50:17
  So we'll see.
• 50:18
  I might, I might.
• 50:19
  play with that one tomorrow they get your
• 50:21
  engine fired up they they had traveling
• 50:23
  double unders last year yeah last year the
• 50:25
  year last year the year before i think
• 50:26
  it was last year i did their qualifiers
• 50:28
  last year as well yeah um and they
• 50:31
  had the traveling double unders there and
• 50:33
  yeah it was a gets your engine for
• 50:35
  sure but for me i liked it because
• 50:37
  it's less double unders than if it would
• 50:38
  be i don't know yeah right two hundred
• 50:43
  um larry says number two fire of course
• 50:46
  because it's a one rep max tristan said
• 50:48
  the weight was two twenty five one fifty
• 50:51
  five on that front squat definitely is it
• 50:52
  okay i will definitely not be trying that
• 50:55
  one that's too heavy for me right now
• 50:56
  all right eric mackie says you could buy
• 51:01
  if you can do the pull-up one that
• 51:02
  could be a fun one for you okay
• 51:04
  yeah
• 51:06
  And then we have five erosion,
• 51:08
  twenty eighty hundred calorie row and then
• 51:12
  twenty toes to bar, twenty box jump overs.
• 51:15
  This I think I normally would like,
• 51:17
  but like looking at this,
• 51:19
  I do not want to do this.
• 51:21
  It's so long.
• 51:23
  I think I'm going to do it.
• 51:24
  I think I'm going to do it on
• 51:25
  Tuesday just because Monday is my day off.
• 51:27
  So I feel like I want to do
• 51:28
  it on Tuesday.
• 51:29
  Jumping is not great for me.
• 51:32
  I've been trying to play with box jumps.
• 51:36
  And maybe that's what you saw Scott.
• 51:37
  I did the a hundred burpee box jump
• 51:38
  overs for time.
• 51:39
  I am not quick at them.
• 51:40
  I just cautious.
• 51:44
  Um, Northern,
• 51:46
  and this is number six snowball effect,
• 51:48
  twelve, twelve minute cap, five hundred,
• 51:51
  five hundred feet burpee shuttle,
• 51:53
  two hundred and fifty double dumbbell
• 51:55
  walking lunge, thirty wall balls,
• 51:57
  thirty bushwhackers,
• 51:58
  thirty hand stand shoulder taps.
• 52:02
  It was fun.
• 52:03
  When I heard handstand shoulder taps,
• 52:04
  I thought as a former judge,
• 52:06
  that would be a judging nightmare.
• 52:10
  Yeah.
• 52:10
  Cause you can be close,
• 52:11
  but you're not really touching.
• 52:12
  Yeah.
• 52:12
  It's hard to tell.
• 52:13
  And sometimes people's shirts are like,
• 52:15
  especially as you're inverted,
• 52:17
  the shirt gets like nice and loose and
• 52:19
  hard to see depending on what angle you
• 52:21
  are from the camera.
• 52:22
  So I totally agree with that.
• 52:24
  Well,
• 52:24
  and even in live judging to get to
• 52:26
  the angle,
• 52:27
  to see that on both shoulders is really,
• 52:29
  really hard.
• 52:30
  Yeah.
• 52:33
  And even the Bushwhackers like full
• 52:35
  extension on some of those is going to
• 52:37
  be tough,
• 52:38
  but I guess those are fine to look
• 52:40
  at.
• 52:40
  It's kind of like a dumbbell snatch.
• 52:45
  So what are these burpee shuttles?
• 52:46
  I haven't seen them.
• 52:48
  So one rep is you go down burpee
• 52:50
  and then you run to the other side.
• 52:52
  That's a rep.
• 52:53
  And then you would go down burpee.
• 52:54
  You run back to the other side.
• 52:55
  So one rep is a twenty five foot
• 52:58
  burpee plus a run.
• 53:00
  Gotcha.
• 53:01
  So you go down.
• 53:02
  As bad as I thought it'd be.
• 53:04
  I was picturing some kind of high rocks
• 53:05
  thing.
• 53:06
  And then five hundred feet is twenty
• 53:08
  twenty total.
• 53:09
  So you're going ten down and backs.
• 53:15
  All right.
• 53:15
  There we go.
• 53:16
  All right.
• 53:16
  So how did you do your lunges?
• 53:19
  Farmer.
• 53:21
  I mean.
• 53:23
  It's just easier to pick them up and
• 53:25
  start moving.
• 53:26
  Yeah.
• 53:29
  did you do no i did farmer as
• 53:30
  well okay but i was thinking like at
• 53:32
  a certain point if i should go to
• 53:33
  a i couldn't throw him up there yeah
• 53:37
  but i just didn't want to i i
• 53:38
  don't know uh crossfit cross fat nails
• 53:42
  this uh the burpee shuttle sound like a
• 53:45
  high school football punishment for sure
• 53:48
  so much i probably did it five hundred
• 53:51
  times um
• 53:58
  I wonder how many no reps will be
• 53:59
  given because of that.
• 54:01
  If that workout goes to video review,
• 54:04
  it's the, uh, the association of judges,
• 54:07
  um, that are,
• 54:08
  I think reviewing the videos.
• 54:13
  Okay.
• 54:15
  At the end of their twenty-five foot lane,
• 54:17
  doing those that you're not going to be
• 54:18
  able to see in video review.
• 54:22
  Eric Mackey says I'm not against the
• 54:23
  evolution of the sport,
• 54:24
  but too many outside the standards.
• 54:28
  think that's what they are though like if
• 54:30
  you're going to norcal you know what you
• 54:32
  get and i'm okay with it as long
• 54:34
  as it's not a surprise yeah you know
• 54:38
  you're gonna get uh different movements
• 54:41
  there yeah the kneeling they don't they
• 54:44
  won't change from that like that's that's
• 54:46
  who they are that's who they've always
• 54:47
  been like they're gonna have they're gonna
• 54:50
  explore different movements
• 54:52
  they were on Savan on Friday,
• 54:54
  Ben and Blair,
• 54:55
  and they are very unapologetic about this,
• 54:58
  that they believe that that is how
• 55:00
  CrossFit was designed.
• 55:01
  That's how it started.
• 55:03
  And they do not want to vary from
• 55:05
  that.
• 55:05
  They think too many people have,
• 55:07
  and they want to keep it as old
• 55:09
  school as possible.
• 55:11
  See,
• 55:11
  I like different movements personally that
• 55:15
  people have in practice and then just go.
• 55:17
  Yeah.
• 55:20
  Like I liked the reverse lunge wall balls
• 55:22
  last year.
• 55:24
  I liked those two.
• 55:26
  I heard a lot of people actually liked
• 55:27
  them more than the regular wall ball.
• 55:30
  Well,
• 55:31
  there's an aspect of balance and timing
• 55:33
  and like just throwing, coming back.
• 55:36
  Like the flooring was a little bit weird
• 55:37
  because the mat and where the floor like
• 55:40
  was higher.
• 55:41
  So it was easier for shorter people to
• 55:43
  have like smaller reverse lunge,
• 55:46
  but the actual movement I liked.
• 55:50
  So in addition to all this being out
• 55:52
  now,
• 55:53
  I know French Throwdown is doing their
• 55:54
  qualifiers.
• 55:56
  LATAM has started theirs.
• 55:58
  But Mayhem already sent out invites for
• 56:00
  semifinals.
• 56:02
  We haven't had the Open.
• 56:03
  We haven't had quarterfinals.
• 56:06
  And so we don't even know if people
• 56:07
  are eligible to compete in the season,
• 56:09
  and we're sending out invites to a
• 56:12
  semifinal competition.
• 56:13
  Bingo.
• 56:14
  Yep.
• 56:17
  And they are using the rogue leaderboard
• 56:20
  for their list.
• 56:22
  What's crazy is like theoretically right
• 56:25
  now, I'm just thinking out loud.
• 56:27
  Someone could do their open workouts,
• 56:30
  get it submitted, but be injured.
• 56:32
  Not even, not even do it.
• 56:35
  Let's be honest.
• 56:36
  Their video is not getting reviewed in the
• 56:37
  open,
• 56:38
  get an invite to a semifinal and then
• 56:40
  continue their season in June.
• 56:43
  Like that's crazy.
• 56:52
  Did we lose you, Scott?
• 56:56
  I think so.
• 56:56
  He's trying to reset it.
• 57:01
  I hope people don't do that and they
• 57:03
  actually do the workouts.
• 57:06
  You know people can do that.
• 57:09
  Or could do it.
• 57:14
  Tristan,
• 57:15
  are you going to have to go just
• 57:15
  because it's going to piss you off or
• 57:17
  you need to go and you don't want
• 57:18
  to miss us?
• 57:30
  Yeah.
• 57:31
  But I don't think that they need to
• 57:32
  do the quarters.
• 57:33
  I think you just have to finish a
• 57:34
  certain amount in the open.
• 57:36
  So someone... Right?
• 57:38
  It's not about quarterfinals where you
• 57:40
  finish to qualify for the games.
• 57:41
  It's just the...
• 57:43
  You just need a certain amount in the
• 57:44
  open.
• 57:46
  True.
• 57:46
  Top two thousand or whatever in the open
• 57:48
  and then... And then... For quarters.
• 57:51
  Well...
• 57:53
  I suppose if you already did your
• 57:54
  qualifier or you got invited to Mayhem,
• 57:56
  yeah.
• 57:56
  As long as you're top two thousand...
• 58:00
  So you could be injured or take your
• 58:02
  off season right now and just, yeah.
• 58:06
  Just interesting how the season is.
• 58:08
  I missed half,
• 58:09
  missed half of your conversation.
• 58:10
  So I'll just let you guys talk.
• 58:13
  Which is why I wish the videos,
• 58:15
  like you would post them in the open
• 58:17
  to avoid that kind of stuff.
• 58:18
  Because I feel people do that.
• 58:21
  Like I've had to submit my videos for
• 58:22
  the open every single year,
• 58:25
  like almost all of them.
• 58:26
  And yeah,
• 58:27
  I know that like people that are in
• 58:29
  the two thousand or whatever,
• 58:30
  like they don't they can just do whatever
• 58:32
  they want because their videos will never
• 58:34
  even get asked.
• 58:35
  So, yeah.
• 58:37
  Scott, do you know the answer to this?
• 58:38
  I don't know if this is on Holly's.
• 58:40
  If someone hypothetically was invited to
• 58:43
  mayhem and then next pencil,
• 58:46
  pen and sharpie.
• 58:47
  I know.
• 58:47
  Hold on.
• 58:48
  But I'm not really going in that.
• 58:51
  But did the open finished fifteen hundred
• 58:55
  and then didn't do quarters or semis.
• 58:58
  Didn't do quarters.
• 59:00
  Well, yeah, didn't do quarters.
• 59:01
  So didn't do semis, but got, you know,
• 59:03
  got fifteen hundred in the open,
• 59:04
  went to mayhem.
• 59:05
  And are they good?
• 59:06
  I, I don't know.
• 59:12
  I don't know.
• 59:13
  I'd have to look at the rule book.
• 59:14
  I would hope that you would have to
• 59:16
  call.
• 59:16
  You would have to participate in
• 59:17
  quarterfinals to go to the games.
• 59:21
  Yeah, you'd think so.
• 59:23
  I would hope,
• 59:23
  but I don't look it up.
• 59:27
  You have to do quarters.
• 59:28
  And quarters you need to put your video
• 59:31
  public, right?
• 59:32
  Or no?
• 59:32
  It's quarters that you have to be top
• 59:34
  two thousand.
• 59:36
  Okay, that makes more sense anyway.
• 59:37
  So you don't have to do anything in
• 59:38
  the open except make it to quarters.
• 59:40
  You just need to be top twenty-five
• 59:41
  percent, top two thousand in quarters,
• 59:43
  and then technically you could just go to
• 59:45
  the semi that you were at.
• 59:46
  You don't have to do anything.
• 59:47
  Okay, that makes sense.
• 59:50
  Yeah, there we go.
• 59:51
  Yeah.
• 59:52
  Well,
• 59:52
  the open matters to the twenty-five
• 59:55
  percent mark.
• 59:57
  But yes, Tristan.
• 1:00:02
  Yeah.
• 1:00:02
  So on that kind of,
• 1:00:03
  we're going to do the next pencil, pen,
• 1:00:05
  or sharpie.
• 1:00:06
  And that is,
• 1:00:07
  if you are not participating in the
• 1:00:08
  CrossFit Games season,
• 1:00:09
  you should not be able to participate in
• 1:00:11
  the semifinals that occur during the
• 1:00:14
  season.
• 1:00:15
  Sharpie.
• 1:00:15
  Sharpie.
• 1:00:16
  Sharpie.
• 1:00:17
  Everyone in the chat is going to Sharpie
• 1:00:18
  this.
• 1:00:19
  You can compete at the intermediate
• 1:00:23
  division, the scale division there,
• 1:00:26
  the master's division.
• 1:00:28
  No route to the actual games.
• 1:00:30
  No.
• 1:00:32
  You cannot influence the leaderboard
• 1:00:33
  whatsoever.
• 1:00:35
  Why would you go to a semis?
• 1:00:37
  Yes,
• 1:00:37
  you can go to NorCal's open division or
• 1:00:39
  whatever,
• 1:00:39
  but why would you go to a semi
• 1:00:43
  if you don't want to participate in the
• 1:00:44
  cross?
• 1:00:45
  I don't understand.
• 1:00:48
  Yeah, no.
• 1:00:48
  You can go there for other divisions.
• 1:00:50
  That's fine because they host other
• 1:00:52
  divisions,
• 1:00:52
  but you cannot go in the path of
• 1:00:54
  the games if you are not doing the
• 1:00:57
  open, if you're not doing the quarters.
• 1:00:59
  Absolutely not.
• 1:01:00
  No more of that, which is like, yeah.
• 1:01:05
  Which we'll see with Mayhem what will
• 1:01:06
  happen.
• 1:01:07
  Andrew Stan said,
• 1:01:08
  compete in the RX division, but not elite.
• 1:01:10
  Yes.
• 1:01:14
  Morris Sharpie, another graved in stone.
• 1:01:17
  Like some will go for prize money, right?
• 1:01:19
  But no, that's not okay.
• 1:01:22
  What about someone who's already
• 1:01:23
  qualified?
• 1:01:24
  Should they be able to go to a
• 1:01:26
  second one?
• 1:01:26
  I don't think so.
• 1:01:28
  No,
• 1:01:28
  it gets to move on to the next
• 1:01:29
  person.
• 1:01:30
  This is Tristan's on it right here.
• 1:01:36
  I disagree with this.
• 1:01:38
  What?
• 1:01:39
  You completely disagree with this.
• 1:01:41
  Well, okay.
• 1:01:42
  Your actions from last year should have no
• 1:01:44
  bearing on this season.
• 1:01:46
  I suppose if you were, like,
• 1:01:48
  hurt and couldn't, but...
• 1:01:50
  I don't care what the reason is.
• 1:01:52
  People sit out for any number of reasons.
• 1:01:54
  How many pro athletes retire and come
• 1:01:56
  back?
• 1:01:57
  How many...
• 1:01:59
  No, he's saying you shouldn't get a...
• 1:02:02
  If you didn't do the season last year,
• 1:02:04
  why are you getting an invite to Mayhem
• 1:02:05
  right now?
• 1:02:06
  You need to do qualifiers.
• 1:02:07
  You need to do the Open and get
• 1:02:08
  yourself earning.
• 1:02:09
  I still think it's a slippery slope if
• 1:02:12
  you're factoring things on last season.
• 1:02:15
  If they sign up for the Open this
• 1:02:16
  year,
• 1:02:17
  they should be able to get an invite.
• 1:02:21
  Yeah, if they earn it, but like...
• 1:02:23
  That's kind of the problem with Mayhem
• 1:02:25
  Bean doing this right now.
• 1:02:26
  By sending it out now,
• 1:02:28
  you can't restrict people because you
• 1:02:29
  don't know.
• 1:02:32
  Well, they should lose their spot.
• 1:02:34
  Somebody should be on backfill if somebody
• 1:02:36
  doesn't do the open.
• 1:02:41
  I don't agree with using last year's
• 1:02:45
  thought last year's twenty five season is
• 1:02:48
  over.
• 1:02:49
  Twenty six season should just be based on
• 1:02:51
  what happens in twenty six,
• 1:02:52
  which is why I hate that wrote that
• 1:02:54
  they're using the rogue leaderboard.
• 1:02:55
  Right.
• 1:02:56
  In historical.
• 1:03:00
  In historical numbers to to make the
• 1:03:02
  invites.
• 1:03:04
  I hate a lot of this stuff about
• 1:03:05
  the season.
• 1:03:06
  It's because their semifinal is the
• 1:03:09
  earliest one, right?
• 1:03:10
  So they're trying to get their field
• 1:03:13
  established before.
• 1:03:17
  Yeah.
• 1:03:22
  Um...
• 1:03:25
  I agree, Tristan.
• 1:03:26
  I think you shouldn't get a free invite.
• 1:03:28
  You should have to do the like you're
• 1:03:31
  going to be in one of the later
• 1:03:32
  semis, I guess.
• 1:03:33
  You're going to have to do the open.
• 1:03:34
  You're going to have to do a qualifier
• 1:03:37
  or be top twenty to get your seat.
• 1:03:39
  You shouldn't just get a free invite.
• 1:03:43
  Why are you taking twenty twenty or
• 1:03:45
  additional invite?
• 1:03:46
  And if you don't qualify,
• 1:03:47
  then you're booted.
• 1:03:49
  And the next person on the list comes
• 1:03:50
  on.
• 1:03:51
  Perfect.
• 1:03:51
  I'm fine with that.
• 1:03:52
  Like, yes, I'm fine with that.
• 1:03:54
  If you're a conditional invitee because we
• 1:03:57
  need to make sure that you're going to
• 1:03:59
  get there.
• 1:03:59
  That's one thing.
• 1:04:03
  Right.
• 1:04:03
  So.
• 1:04:05
  So here's what I had Holly do.
• 1:04:07
  And I just, small sample size,
• 1:04:10
  I had her take everybody out of the
• 1:04:12
  Mayhem Classic that did not participate in
• 1:04:15
  the game season last year.
• 1:04:18
  And did it affect who got tickets to
• 1:04:20
  the games?
• 1:04:22
  And it did on the women's side.
• 1:04:25
  If you took out everybody from last year
• 1:04:27
  that did not participate in the season,
• 1:04:30
  Emily Rolfe gets her ticket to the
• 1:04:32
  CrossFit Games at Mayhem.
• 1:04:36
  Who competed at AHAM?
• 1:04:38
  Oh, Paige, right?
• 1:04:40
  Paige, the girl from Latin America.
• 1:04:46
  Victoria?
• 1:04:47
  Was it Victoria Campos?
• 1:04:48
  Victoria Campos.
• 1:04:51
  I think there was a couple, actually.
• 1:04:53
  Okay.
• 1:04:56
  She has a spreadsheet.
• 1:04:57
  I just don't have it pulled up because
• 1:04:58
  of... That's interesting.
• 1:05:00
  Yeah.
• 1:05:01
  Yeah, it would have essentially,
• 1:05:03
  if you take out everybody,
• 1:05:04
  it forced a three-way tie on the women's
• 1:05:07
  side with Fee, Emily, and Abby.
• 1:05:12
  And because Emily won more events,
• 1:05:14
  Emily would have actually won.
• 1:05:16
  Wow.
• 1:05:16
  The tiebreaker.
• 1:05:18
  Fee would have finished second and Abby
• 1:05:19
  would have finished third.
• 1:05:21
  Wow.
• 1:05:24
  So by allowing people that aren't
• 1:05:26
  participating in the season into that
• 1:05:27
  event, Emily never got her ticket.
• 1:05:31
  agree yeah she tried to come back for
• 1:05:36
  an orcal but her elbow wasn't ready right
• 1:05:39
  like she was there but she didn't i
• 1:05:41
  don't think she did two events one one
• 1:05:44
  for sure possibly two and she still
• 1:05:46
  finished top ten there which is crazy yeah
• 1:05:49
  holly confirmed it was victorian page okay
• 1:05:51
  yeah
• 1:05:54
  And I know I'm sure that Elisa's wins
• 1:05:57
  in Europe probably affected it,
• 1:06:00
  but I didn't want to get put too
• 1:06:01
  much on Holly for something that happened
• 1:06:04
  a year ago,
• 1:06:05
  especially when we proved the point in the
• 1:06:07
  first shot.
• 1:06:12
  Grace, I know they're big draws,
• 1:06:14
  but this is a season.
• 1:06:15
  No other professional sport allows people
• 1:06:18
  not participating in the season to come in
• 1:06:20
  to take away prize money from other
• 1:06:22
  athletes.
• 1:06:23
  If someone said it well here,
• 1:06:25
  like if you're trying to qualify for the
• 1:06:27
  Olympics,
• 1:06:27
  you don't invite just someone to the
• 1:06:29
  Olympic trials or something.
• 1:06:31
  Yeah.
• 1:06:32
  Yeah.
• 1:06:32
  I remember reading that somewhere there.
• 1:06:36
  Uh, Tony,
• 1:06:37
  I saw you at a super chat.
• 1:06:38
  I'll get to that in a second.
• 1:06:39
  I swear.
• 1:06:40
  There's just a ton, ton in here.
• 1:06:43
  Um,
• 1:06:45
  So confused with all the different
• 1:06:46
  leagues.
• 1:06:47
  If someone won Rogue as a champion to
• 1:06:49
  automatic make semifinals or finals in
• 1:06:51
  CrossFit or vice versa,
• 1:06:52
  maybe it's not a dumb question, but no,
• 1:06:54
  they do not get an automatic bid.
• 1:06:58
  Now for the semifinal, see,
• 1:07:00
  this is where it gets confusing.
• 1:07:02
  Here's this guy that's new to CrossFit
• 1:07:04
  trying to understand the system and NorCal
• 1:07:07
  has four automatic bids.
• 1:07:08
  If you are the male or female winner
• 1:07:10
  of crash or the male or female winner
• 1:07:13
  of their own event last year,
• 1:07:15
  you get an automatic bid and bypass
• 1:07:16
  everything.
• 1:07:19
  Yeah.
• 1:07:20
  Like I like that,
• 1:07:21
  like they're champions of the year before.
• 1:07:22
  I'm okay with that.
• 1:07:23
  The crash one to me is kind of
• 1:07:25
  weird.
• 1:07:26
  Like,
• 1:07:29
  It was never announced prior to Crash.
• 1:07:33
  Prior to Crash's qualifications,
• 1:07:36
  that that would also be part of the
• 1:07:39
  following season.
• 1:07:40
  Something like that is... I don't know.
• 1:07:43
  It shouldn't happen.
• 1:07:45
  But it's their concept.
• 1:07:46
  Tony did put in a super chat.
• 1:07:48
  What are your thoughts about these team
• 1:07:49
  leagues like United grid grid league?
• 1:07:52
  I think that's a discussion for another
• 1:07:53
  night.
• 1:07:53
  I'll throw it because you put it in
• 1:07:55
  here.
• 1:07:55
  I'll put it on the agenda for next
• 1:07:57
  week.
• 1:07:57
  And we'll talk about the team aspect of
• 1:08:00
  CrossFit,
• 1:08:00
  but I think that's a much lengthier topic
• 1:08:03
  than we have time for tonight,
• 1:08:05
  but thank you so much for the five
• 1:08:06
  bucks.
• 1:08:07
  We truly appreciate it.
• 1:08:11
  Yeah.
• 1:08:16
  This is because no one is in charge
• 1:08:17
  of oversight.
• 1:08:21
  I'm going to say the elephant in the
• 1:08:23
  room.
• 1:08:26
  Lazer died at the games.
• 1:08:27
  CrossFit wanted to take a step back and
• 1:08:29
  assume no responsibility or as least
• 1:08:31
  amount of responsibility as they could the
• 1:08:33
  next season.
• 1:08:34
  And so they stepped back from every
• 1:08:36
  semifinal and every aspect of the CrossFit
• 1:08:39
  game season until the actual games.
• 1:08:42
  That took away so much liability from them
• 1:08:45
  by doing so.
• 1:08:47
  And it put the ball in everybody else's
• 1:08:49
  court to do everything for them along the
• 1:08:52
  way.
• 1:08:53
  And because of that,
• 1:08:54
  they had to allow these third-party
• 1:08:56
  entities to be able to do things the
• 1:08:58
  way they wanted to do them.
• 1:08:59
  And now we're in this huge pickle.
• 1:09:04
  Yep.
• 1:09:06
  And it sucks that because of a fear
• 1:09:07
  of liability, we have this...
• 1:09:12
  messed up season well and partially
• 1:09:15
  liability and like i said partially the
• 1:09:18
  venture capitalists trying to cut costs
• 1:09:20
  wherever they can and make their books
• 1:09:22
  look better they've offloaded the costs of
• 1:09:25
  these things and yeah it's a problem it
• 1:09:27
  doesn't do anything good for the sport and
• 1:09:32
  grace says yeah they couldn't afford to
• 1:09:34
  keep funding those events too i think
• 1:09:35
  that's the easy public answer to give
• 1:09:39
  And maybe they couldn't, I don't know.
• 1:09:42
  But I do,
• 1:09:43
  I think a lot of it came out
• 1:09:44
  of the liability from the previous season.
• 1:09:50
  So, yeah.
• 1:09:57
  Andrew said,
• 1:09:58
  I'm fine with other people running the
• 1:09:59
  semis,
• 1:10:00
  but there has to be some cohesion and
• 1:10:02
  oversight.
• 1:10:04
  Do you think we're all doing grace this
• 1:10:05
  year?
• 1:10:05
  Heavy grace.
• 1:10:10
  Heavy Grace at like seven semifinals.
• 1:10:16
  Maybe that's why everybody had the elbow
• 1:10:17
  and shoulder injuries.
• 1:10:20
  Yeah.
• 1:10:21
  Because everybody did Heavy Isabel twenty
• 1:10:23
  seven times.
• 1:10:31
  CrossFit is low key timid to scare any
• 1:10:33
  more dollars or voices away.
• 1:10:36
  It's a great point, too.
• 1:10:38
  Do you think that we will have a
• 1:10:40
  repeated workout that goes around the
• 1:10:42
  semifinals or multiple?
• 1:10:45
  I pray no.
• 1:10:47
  I kind of think no.
• 1:10:51
  Like a weekend like NorCal who's at the
• 1:10:53
  same time as Syndicate and Torian maybe?
• 1:10:57
  Like would they have some sort of
• 1:10:59
  three-way arrangement that everyone that's
• 1:11:03
  going through that weekend is doing a
• 1:11:05
  certain workout?
• 1:11:06
  Like I wouldn't be surprised.
• 1:11:08
  The real question you're asking is,
• 1:11:10
  is Mayhem going to program everything
• 1:11:11
  again this year?
• 1:11:12
  Right.
• 1:11:12
  That's what you're asking.
• 1:11:16
  They won't matter.
• 1:11:17
  Or JR.
• 1:11:17
  I think JR is.
• 1:11:19
  Yeah, JR is picking up some extra.
• 1:11:22
  Mayhem or JR.
• 1:11:23
  Yeah, but then it'll collab with Angelo.
• 1:11:25
  So it's one big cohesive group.
• 1:11:28
  But speaking of Mayhem,
• 1:11:29
  thank you to Mayhem for sending me a
• 1:11:30
  barbell this week.
• 1:11:32
  That was sweet.
• 1:11:34
  Is that what you got for the everyday
• 1:11:35
  hero?
• 1:11:37
  Awesome.
• 1:11:38
  They like sent, they,
• 1:11:39
  they messaged us a while ago or addresses.
• 1:11:41
  It said,
• 1:11:41
  they said that they had something for us
• 1:11:42
  and then got a nice barbell this week.
• 1:11:45
  So that's awesome.
• 1:11:49
  But it doesn't mean that I think they
• 1:11:50
  should program every semifinal,
• 1:11:54
  even though they treated us very,
• 1:11:55
  very nicely.
• 1:11:58
  Vicky says,
• 1:11:58
  I still think there should be a checkbox
• 1:12:00
  on open registration to separate those who
• 1:12:02
  say they want to be in contention for
• 1:12:03
  the games.
• 1:12:04
  So video review would be easier to
• 1:12:06
  decipher and be required for open,
• 1:12:08
  et cetera.
• 1:12:09
  I think that's a good idea.
• 1:12:10
  Great idea.
• 1:12:11
  Yep.
• 1:12:14
  I mean, it can be an extra five,
• 1:12:15
  ten bucks there.
• 1:12:16
  And I think you could even add a
• 1:12:18
  donation thing if you want to donate to
• 1:12:20
  the season.
• 1:12:21
  Like why wouldn't they do that in the
• 1:12:22
  registration, right?
• 1:12:24
  Like sign up for twenty knowing that the
• 1:12:26
  money goes towards the game season.
• 1:12:27
  If you add another thing,
• 1:12:29
  if you'd like to increase your your
• 1:12:33
  donation to the season or support the
• 1:12:35
  season.
• 1:12:38
  How they get another cross that I don't
• 1:12:40
  think you get to accuse anybody of
• 1:12:42
  secretly being somebody else.
• 1:12:46
  We've been trying to figure out who you
• 1:12:47
  are for a year.
• 1:12:52
  All right.
• 1:12:52
  So last pencil, pen,
• 1:12:54
  or Sharpie is it's a good one.
• 1:12:59
  Pencil, pen, or Sharpie.
• 1:13:00
  Pat Vellner will do the twenty twenty six
• 1:13:02
  game season.
• 1:13:09
  Pencil.
• 1:13:12
  I think pen.
• 1:13:13
  I mean, CrossFit is secretly me.
• 1:13:20
  I think he wants to.
• 1:13:23
  I think he's,
• 1:13:24
  and Pat showed in the past,
• 1:13:26
  he's able to rehab properly.
• 1:13:30
  We are, we are tight on time.
• 1:13:33
  Again, I think,
• 1:13:36
  I think he's just going to play with
• 1:13:37
  like, he's in a role.
• 1:13:38
  How bad is his injury?
• 1:13:39
  So what Jamie and Caroline are referring
• 1:13:41
  to is that it was announced on Pat's
• 1:13:45
  Instagram account that he suffered a torn
• 1:13:46
  rotator cuff at the finals in Copenhagen
• 1:13:49
  for the WFP.
• 1:13:51
  He is doing rehab right now.
• 1:13:54
  The dude went to the games with a
• 1:13:56
  torn bicep or something?
• 1:13:58
  Yeah, in twenty eighteen.
• 1:14:01
  The man is a machine and he's great
• 1:14:03
  at rehab.
• 1:14:05
  I think he can finish top twenty five
• 1:14:07
  percent in the open with one one arm.
• 1:14:09
  I agree.
• 1:14:09
  Oh, for sure.
• 1:14:12
  And if you look at the video of
• 1:14:13
  him rehabbing, he has full mobility,
• 1:14:15
  the arm.
• 1:14:16
  It's just I don't know what kind of
• 1:14:17
  strength.
• 1:14:18
  He said the only thing that's really
• 1:14:20
  limiting is doing the exact same movement
• 1:14:21
  that caused the injury,
• 1:14:22
  which is snatching.
• 1:14:26
  Right.
• 1:14:27
  So.
• 1:14:31
  Here's why I do think he's going to
• 1:14:32
  do it.
• 1:14:32
  Sharpie.
• 1:14:33
  I'm a Sharpie on this one.
• 1:14:34
  I see a lot of pens.
• 1:14:35
  Sten's a pen.
• 1:14:37
  Clock is a pencil.
• 1:14:40
  Paige Smith is a pencil.
• 1:14:42
  Eric Mackey's a pencil.
• 1:14:44
  I don't even know what CrossFit's a
• 1:14:45
  pencil.
• 1:14:46
  Have you seen the story time with Pat
• 1:14:48
  stuff he's been putting out where he's
• 1:14:50
  going back and talking about like his
• 1:14:52
  favorite moments in the CrossFit game
• 1:14:54
  seasons or CrossFit games and going
• 1:14:56
  through those moments?
• 1:14:58
  You don't reminisce about all that stuff
• 1:15:01
  if you're not making one final run.
• 1:15:05
  Like I, and that,
• 1:15:06
  that's my Sharpie belief right there.
• 1:15:08
  It's all on.
• 1:15:10
  You don't look back at your career.
• 1:15:12
  I think he wants one more shot to
• 1:15:15
  go through the season before he retires.
• 1:15:18
  Yeah, I agree.
• 1:15:19
  I think he wants to, my pen,
• 1:15:21
  my pen is because I'm not sure like
• 1:15:23
  the fate program will favor him to make
• 1:15:25
  it out of semis, but yes,
• 1:15:28
  I think he's going to make a run
• 1:15:29
  at it for sure.
• 1:15:32
  Larry with the harsh, unfortunately,
• 1:15:33
  I just don't care.
• 1:15:35
  Uh, he's fine, but I never,
• 1:15:36
  but never got it done better guys compared
• 1:15:38
  to now.
• 1:15:39
  I love how, like in our society,
• 1:15:41
  if you don't win the whole thing,
• 1:15:42
  you didn't get it done.
• 1:15:43
  Yeah.
• 1:15:43
  That's crazy.
• 1:15:45
  Yeah.
• 1:15:45
  Like seeing Hunter talk about Dale and
• 1:15:47
  like basically say he's not even good in
• 1:15:50
  the sport is why like wild to me.
• 1:15:53
  Yeah.
• 1:15:53
  Like I grew up in the eighties.
• 1:15:55
  Dan Marino was the greatest quarterback to
• 1:15:57
  ever play at that point in time in
• 1:15:58
  the NFL.
• 1:15:59
  He never won a Superbowl.
• 1:16:00
  It doesn't mean he didn't get it done.
• 1:16:04
  Right.
• 1:16:04
  Like.
• 1:16:09
  Yeah.
• 1:16:09
  Lots and lots of pencils.
• 1:16:12
  It's crazy.
• 1:16:13
  Jody says, yeah, those are great posts.
• 1:16:14
  They're great posts.
• 1:16:16
  Pat is a great storyteller.
• 1:16:18
  Yes.
• 1:16:20
  Like when he does his like event by
• 1:16:22
  event recaps at the games,
• 1:16:24
  they are hilarious.
• 1:16:26
  They make me laugh.
• 1:16:27
  He's a great storyteller.
• 1:16:32
  I want the game season back to being
• 1:16:34
  complete again.
• 1:16:36
  We as fans are being cheated when we
• 1:16:38
  don't get the epic matchups like Laura
• 1:16:41
  versus Tia or like Pat versus Justin or
• 1:16:44
  those types of things.
• 1:16:46
  I want everybody back together again.
• 1:16:50
  So that's what I want.
• 1:16:52
  I don't care what happened in the past.
• 1:16:54
  Let's move forward.
• 1:16:55
  We're never going to accomplish anything
• 1:16:57
  and grow in the sport as separate
• 1:17:00
  entities.
• 1:17:01
  It's got to be done as one.
• 1:17:03
  And I want everybody back together
• 1:17:05
  competing against each other.
• 1:17:09
  Yeah.
• 1:17:10
  I think Laura might not, might be out.
• 1:17:12
  So
• 1:17:15
  Well,
• 1:17:15
  I'm not saying that's going to happen.
• 1:17:17
  I'm talking about Pat and his posts make
• 1:17:20
  me believe that he's coming back.
• 1:17:23
  I'm with you.
• 1:17:26
  And he's really kind of nestled in with
• 1:17:27
  the boys interrupted.
• 1:17:28
  I agree.
• 1:17:31
  Like those two things,
• 1:17:32
  like he's kind of like uncle Pat to
• 1:17:34
  them and kind of becoming a mentor to
• 1:17:38
  them.
• 1:17:38
  And I think he relishes that role.
• 1:17:44
  Yeah.
• 1:17:44
  Yes, Eric.
• 1:17:45
  Kumbaya.
• 1:17:46
  Let's all sing it.
• 1:17:54
  He's one of the funniest guys in the
• 1:17:56
  athlete area to chirps, nicknames, jokes.
• 1:17:59
  He's really well liked by like all of
• 1:18:00
  the competitors.
• 1:18:01
  He's probably like, honestly,
• 1:18:03
  the most popular,
• 1:18:04
  one of the most popular guys.
• 1:18:09
  One of my favorite moments ever is when
• 1:18:12
  Pat got pissed about the sled drag at
• 1:18:15
  semifinals.
• 1:18:17
  And Jamie wanted to get an interview with
• 1:18:18
  him.
• 1:18:19
  And he said, yes,
• 1:18:21
  as long as you run with me.
• 1:18:22
  And Jamie ran.
• 1:18:24
  If you were in Pasadena or not in
• 1:18:26
  Pasadena, you don't know.
• 1:18:27
  The athlete area and the venue were two
• 1:18:31
  separate buildings.
• 1:18:32
  Jamie ran down the street with Pat getting
• 1:18:34
  the interview while running.
• 1:18:36
  We were walking.
• 1:18:37
  He just said I had to move along
• 1:18:39
  with him.
• 1:18:39
  Yeah.
• 1:18:42
  No problem.
• 1:18:44
  I'm up for it.
• 1:18:47
  Larry, truth is, Scott,
• 1:18:48
  when they quit on CrossFit,
• 1:18:50
  I kind of quit watching them.
• 1:18:51
  You're entitled to like and dislike any
• 1:18:54
  athletes you want.
• 1:18:55
  I just think the sport is better when
• 1:18:57
  we're all together.
• 1:18:58
  Yeah.
• 1:19:06
  Ken says mentor.
• 1:19:07
  He's never won three or four.
• 1:19:09
  He's never won in three of the four
• 1:19:10
  boys interrupted have won four.
• 1:19:12
  He can be a mentor in life without
• 1:19:15
  being a mentor in the sport.
• 1:19:17
  Yeah.
• 1:19:18
  Like, my gosh, you guys.
• 1:19:20
  Ken and Larry, like, playing hardcore.
• 1:19:24
  He also has, like, five games medals,
• 1:19:27
  I think, for, like.
• 1:19:28
  Yeah.
• 1:19:29
  Four or five.
• 1:19:30
  He's won Rogue multiple times.
• 1:19:32
  He's won Waterpalooza multiple times.
• 1:19:35
  And one of the most popular guys in
• 1:19:36
  the sport ever.
• 1:19:37
  Yeah.
• 1:19:39
  I would venture to say if you asked
• 1:19:41
  any one of those four boys,
• 1:19:43
  if they would take advice from Pat on
• 1:19:46
  an event,
• 1:19:46
  they would one hundred percent take advice
• 1:19:49
  from Pat.
• 1:19:50
  Absolutely.
• 1:19:51
  Yeah.
• 1:19:54
  I think we let our preconceived notions
• 1:19:58
  cloud our judgment sometimes.
• 1:20:03
  Yeah.
• 1:20:08
  Okay, so that is that.
• 1:20:11
  We are really tight on time now.
• 1:20:16
  So, Bethany Flores gave birth.
• 1:20:18
  Oh, did she?
• 1:20:20
  Yes,
• 1:20:21
  her and Randy welcomed in a baby boy.
• 1:20:24
  So...
• 1:20:27
  Congratulations to her.
• 1:20:28
  She's been a friend of the show for
• 1:20:29
  a long time and a friend to me
• 1:20:31
  for a long time.
• 1:20:32
  Super happy for her and Randy really
• 1:20:34
  psyched about that.
• 1:20:36
  And then I'm going to finish on this
• 1:20:38
  one.
• 1:20:39
  The U S department of health this week
• 1:20:41
  or make America healthy again,
• 1:20:43
  announced a brand new food pyramid in the
• 1:20:47
  United States where they are flipping it
• 1:20:50
  upside down.
• 1:20:54
  And they are waging war against added
• 1:20:57
  sugars and processed carbohydrates.
• 1:21:02
  Something that people in the fitness
• 1:21:03
  industry thought would never, ever, ever,
• 1:21:06
  ever happen, happened this week.
• 1:21:10
  Your reaction to that statement.
• 1:21:13
  We don't know where it's going, right?
• 1:21:14
  It's just the announcement.
• 1:21:16
  We don't know what it means.
• 1:21:18
  But to hear a government official of any
• 1:21:20
  kind make those statements,
• 1:21:24
  is huge in my opinion i mean i
• 1:21:29
  it's exciting i i it's long overdue i'm
• 1:21:34
  glad somebody with some authority put
• 1:21:36
  something out there we'll see we'll see
• 1:21:39
  what that how that trickles down like
• 1:21:41
  curious to see what it'll do to like
• 1:21:43
  lunch programs um
• 1:21:47
  Do they have lunch programs in the States?
• 1:21:49
  Like for all the schools?
• 1:21:51
  Yeah,
• 1:21:52
  schools have to follow the adopted food
• 1:21:54
  pyramid.
• 1:21:55
  Yeah.
• 1:21:56
  And because they changed the food pyramid,
• 1:21:58
  they have to follow the new one.
• 1:22:02
  And my mom has been a lunch lady
• 1:22:04
  for forty years.
• 1:22:06
  So I know all about that.
• 1:22:11
  Yeah.
• 1:22:11
  I mean, it's to us,
• 1:22:12
  it's like common sense, right?
• 1:22:14
  It's like what we've been doing,
• 1:22:15
  but it's it.
• 1:22:17
  Yeah.
• 1:22:17
  It'll be very interesting to see the
• 1:22:19
  trickle down.
• 1:22:21
  I can only imagine what some of the,
• 1:22:23
  yeah,
• 1:22:23
  like big car is going crazy right now.
• 1:22:26
  I can only imagine there's gotta be some
• 1:22:30
  heads at some of these companies that are
• 1:22:31
  like, no,
• 1:22:38
  So Lex jumps in a schools need funding
• 1:22:41
  before they can follow the food,
• 1:22:43
  food pyramid.
• 1:22:44
  I'm sure.
• 1:22:47
  For us, like we,
• 1:22:48
  I run a breakfast program at my high
• 1:22:50
  school.
• 1:22:51
  So I do all of the ordering of
• 1:22:53
  the food and we get like,
• 1:22:57
  almost fifteen thousand dollars that i go
• 1:22:59
  get in government funding for breakfast
• 1:23:02
  programs and almost every school has this
• 1:23:04
  and we can only have certain foods that
• 1:23:06
  we order and it has to have like
• 1:23:07
  a green check mark that says that it's
• 1:23:10
  part of the uh nutrition school programs
• 1:23:13
  and it can't have a certain i think
• 1:23:16
  every food item needs to have less than
• 1:23:19
  five or six grams of sugar in it
• 1:23:22
  um and like every every breakfast and like
• 1:23:24
  we have to have protein that's put out
• 1:23:28
  some sort of fruit it could be also
• 1:23:31
  a like go-go squeeze or something like a
• 1:23:35
  pouch like but like we have we have
• 1:23:38
  like all like these standards but yeah
• 1:23:40
  we're it's it's nice that like our
• 1:23:42
  government funds quite a bit the breakfast
• 1:23:45
  programs like those are really really
• 1:23:47
  important in schools across that says it's
• 1:23:50
  canadian dollars though so only like two
• 1:23:51
  hundred bucks yeah um
• 1:23:56
  Here's where I think there is a change,
• 1:23:57
  Eric.
• 1:23:58
  Healthier food is more expensive.
• 1:23:59
  There has to be a way to make
• 1:24:00
  it more available to all and cheaper.
• 1:24:03
  That's the point of the government saying
• 1:24:05
  these are the necessary foods.
• 1:24:07
  It then makes those foods things that you
• 1:24:11
  supplement and that you give funding to
• 1:24:16
  grow and to have available.
• 1:24:21
  That's why this flip is important.
• 1:24:24
  It makes those things cheaper.
• 1:24:29
  Um, I think it's important.
• 1:24:31
  I think they also need to mandate more
• 1:24:33
  physical education in schools.
• 1:24:35
  See,
• 1:24:35
  I grew up in a time where like
• 1:24:37
  we had phys ed like three times a
• 1:24:38
  week, um, for an hour at a time.
• 1:24:41
  Yeah, we have it every day,
• 1:24:44
  but only grade nine is the last year
• 1:24:47
  that it's mandatory to do phys ed grade
• 1:24:49
  ten, eleven, twelve.
• 1:24:51
  They no longer like it's not a requirement
• 1:24:54
  to take phys ed, which is crazy.
• 1:24:56
  We had to have it every year.
• 1:24:58
  We could get a waiver if we were
• 1:24:59
  an athlete.
• 1:25:02
  Because we were practicing our sport five
• 1:25:04
  days a week.
• 1:25:05
  But you only got a waiver during that
• 1:25:07
  season.
• 1:25:07
  So if you only played one of the
• 1:25:09
  three seasons,
• 1:25:10
  you only got a waiver for that season.
• 1:25:17
  Interesting.
• 1:25:17
  Yeah.
• 1:25:23
  Um, one more super from Tony.
• 1:25:25
  Have you ever thought about doing the
• 1:25:27
  Spartan super or beast?
• 1:25:28
  They're running sandbags, monkey bars,
• 1:25:30
  pegboard, log lift.
• 1:25:33
  So I've done like warrior dashes and, um,
• 1:25:37
  other versions of that in the past.
• 1:25:40
  And I really enjoyed them.
• 1:25:43
  So, yeah, I'm all about them.
• 1:25:45
  Anything that gets you out.
• 1:25:46
  I love, like, obstacle course stuff.
• 1:25:49
  Yeah.
• 1:25:51
  There was, like, a Tough Mudder, like,
• 1:25:53
  world mile before.
• 1:25:55
  I love that.
• 1:25:57
  The top of the CrossFit pyramid is play
• 1:25:59
  other sports.
• 1:26:01
  And that's a great one to go out
• 1:26:02
  and do as something else.
• 1:26:04
  Yeah.
• 1:26:10
  All right,
• 1:26:10
  I think the comments are coming in so
• 1:26:13
  fast to keep up with,
• 1:26:15
  but I think this is a good place
• 1:26:16
  to end it tonight.
• 1:26:18
  It's been an amazing sports weekend.
• 1:26:20
  I did not sleep at all this weekend
• 1:26:22
  because of the Bears win,
• 1:26:23
  and so I have my pre-op appointment for
• 1:26:28
  both my biopsy and my sinus surgery this
• 1:26:32
  Tuesday,
• 1:26:33
  and I have to go get some blood
• 1:26:34
  drawn tomorrow morning,
• 1:26:35
  so I'm going to call it for the
• 1:26:36
  night.
• 1:26:38
  I have the frostbite relay,
• 1:26:40
  the one in Holland.
• 1:26:40
  Not the country, but the city.
• 1:26:45
  Yeah.
• 1:26:45
  Holland, the city.
• 1:26:46
  Yeah.
• 1:26:46
  Holland, Michigan over there on the water.
• 1:26:49
  So that's Sunday.
• 1:26:50
  I will very likely not be on on
• 1:26:54
  Sunday.
• 1:26:55
  Yeah.
• 1:26:55
  I don't know when the bears are playing
• 1:26:57
  next weekend.
• 1:26:58
  So everybody stay tuned.
• 1:27:00
  Yeah.
• 1:27:01
  I mean,
• 1:27:01
  my bears don't make the playoffs very
• 1:27:02
  often.
• 1:27:03
  They don't win very often.
• 1:27:05
  I'm going to make sure that I can
• 1:27:07
  enjoy that game.
• 1:27:08
  Cool.
• 1:27:10
  So if it's Sunday night,
• 1:27:10
  we'll probably delay or go another night.
• 1:27:14
  Okay.
• 1:27:16
  It hopefully won't be as cold this year
• 1:27:18
  in Holland, Michigan.
• 1:27:19
  It looks like like twenty two degrees.
• 1:27:21
  I don't even know that it's going to
• 1:27:22
  be like crazy snow or anything.
• 1:27:24
  I think I think we might have a
• 1:27:25
  decent year.
• 1:27:26
  If you weren't with us last year,
• 1:27:29
  Jamie had icicles coming off her nose.
• 1:27:31
  Yeah.
• 1:27:33
  So for that,
• 1:27:36
  do what Eric Mackey says and hit that
• 1:27:38
  like button, subscribe to the channel.
• 1:27:41
  We really appreciate the algorithm helps
• 1:27:42
  us out so, so much.
• 1:27:44
  Drink your Thursday.
• 1:27:47
  Waiting all day for Sunday night.
• 1:27:48
