• 1:02
  cowboys apparently made a miraculous
• 1:04
  comeback after i turned off the game crazy
• 1:07
  And I did see Detroit win in overtime.
• 1:10
  Yep.
• 1:11
  Thank God they finally pulled it together.
• 1:13
  And my Chicago Bears beat my wife's
• 1:16
  Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 1:18
  Oh, she's a Steelers fan.
• 1:19
  That was, she was not happy.
• 1:23
  I'm super happy they won.
• 1:25
  And then I look over to gloat and
• 1:26
  she gave me that look like maybe I
• 1:29
  shouldn't gloat.
• 1:29
  Yeah.
• 1:31
  Like, is it worth,
• 1:33
  is it going to be worth it later
• 1:35
  tonight to have gloated during that time?
• 1:38
  Probably not.
• 1:42
  Oh, my daughter's home.
• 1:43
  She got home Friday night late,
• 1:45
  got delayed.
• 1:46
  Her flight came in at like.
• 1:49
  And we're old.
• 1:52
  Like I go to bed at ten.
• 1:54
  Yeah.
• 1:55
  That was crazy.
• 1:58
  But she's home.
• 2:00
  We just got done playing some board games,
• 2:02
  having a good time with her.
• 2:04
  But she's going to be here all week.
• 2:05
  Can't wait.
• 2:06
  Did you have to pick her up from
• 2:07
  the airport?
• 2:08
  We did.
• 2:08
  Oh, boy.
• 2:10
  Yeah.
• 2:12
  How long of a drive is that for
• 2:13
  you?
• 2:15
  Twenty minutes.
• 2:16
  That's excellent.
• 2:18
  Yeah.
• 2:19
  Especially at one o'clock in the morning.
• 2:21
  Yeah.
• 2:22
  There's no traffic.
• 2:23
  It was just straight shot.
• 2:25
  That's good.
• 2:28
  um kenneth ken walters uh i saw my
• 2:32
  vikings d play great and jj mccarthy may
• 2:35
  not be the answer uh did he play
• 2:42
  at michigan he did okay that's why i
• 2:47
  remember him oh uh valenzuela and i are
• 2:48
  playing in fantasy there's eighteen points
• 2:50
  between us
• 2:52
  I've stopped checking that.
• 2:57
  I have.
• 2:58
  I'm getting smoked once again.
• 3:10
  So while you guys are looking that up,
• 3:12
  I watched the movie Playdate with my wife
• 3:14
  the other night that has the star of
• 3:17
  Reacher in it and Kevin James.
• 3:22
  And it may be the dumbest movie I've
• 3:26
  ever seen,
• 3:26
  but I laughed so hard throughout the whole
• 3:30
  thing.
• 3:32
  It was so good.
• 3:33
  So good.
• 3:35
  If you just want brain-dead laugh,
• 3:38
  sit on your couch.
• 3:40
  It's free on Amazon Prime.
• 3:42
  I feel like that's the type of movie
• 3:46
  I like.
• 3:46
  Yeah, those are always great.
• 3:49
  It reminds me of like old Adam Sandler,
• 3:52
  old Jim Carrey.
• 3:55
  But Kevin James is kind of the straight
• 3:57
  man,
• 3:57
  and you would expect him to be like
• 3:58
  the funny guy.
• 4:00
  And Alan Richson is the funny guy.
• 4:03
  And he goes so over the top.
• 4:05
  It is so funny.
• 4:08
  So funny.
• 4:08
  I don't want to spoil anything for
• 4:10
  anybody,
• 4:10
  but if you just on this holiday week
• 4:14
  want to sit back, have a few laughs,
• 4:16
  it's worth a watch.
• 4:18
  Not going to win any awards, but fun.
• 4:25
  Love it.
• 4:26
  Did I see that, uh,
• 4:28
  Carolyn Prevo unofficially passed her L
• 4:33
  three.
• 4:35
  Yeah.
• 4:36
  I'm so happy about that today.
• 4:37
  I think I just spilled my water.
• 4:39
  Yeah.
• 4:40
  I had my four-hour exam today.
• 4:43
  It took about three and a half.
• 4:44
  I took my time, though.
• 4:47
  I've always been a slow test taker.
• 4:50
  Even if I finished earlier, I'm reviewing.
• 4:53
  And I had, I think, like,
• 4:54
  twenty-five minutes left.
• 4:55
  And I was like, stop reviewing.
• 4:57
  Just go for it.
• 5:00
  And then it was nerve-wracking because
• 5:01
  you're supposed to get your results there
• 5:02
  right away.
• 5:02
  And the girl's like, okay,
• 5:03
  have a good day.
• 5:04
  And I was like,
• 5:05
  I think I'm supposed to get results.
• 5:07
  And then she's like, oh,
• 5:09
  I don't think so.
• 5:10
  It would have came out of the printer.
• 5:12
  But the printer was blocked or she needed
• 5:15
  to fix it.
• 5:15
  So then I'm sitting there in the chair
• 5:19
  just waiting for my result.
• 5:20
  And then she's like, okay,
• 5:21
  let me see if I can fix it.
• 5:22
  And it took her like ten minutes to
• 5:24
  fix.
• 5:24
  So I'm literally just sitting there
• 5:26
  like...
• 5:27
  great.
• 5:27
  This is just procrastinating.
• 5:30
  Sweating bullets.
• 5:31
  My heart rate was super high.
• 5:33
  I was like, come on.
• 5:35
  I don't even know what the passing grade
• 5:37
  is.
• 5:37
  They don't tell you how much percentage
• 5:40
  you need to pass.
• 5:44
  Isn't it like seventy or seventy-five?
• 5:47
  I haven't seen that anywhere.
• 5:49
  I know that's the L-I back when I
• 5:51
  took it the first time was seventy,
• 5:54
  but I don't know what L-III was.
• 5:57
  The weekly Fergie question for Jamie.
• 6:00
  Jamie,
• 6:00
  would you rather judge wall balls at a
• 6:01
  high rocks competition or answer all the
• 6:04
  DMS about your hip?
• 6:05
  I'd rather judge wall balls at a high
• 6:06
  racks competition.
• 6:10
  I just think, I mean,
• 6:11
  someone's got to implement the standard.
• 6:15
  I don't know why they don't use those
• 6:17
  boxes more often.
• 6:18
  It's like, if someone's having trouble,
• 6:19
  just grab the box.
• 6:21
  Just grab the, I mean,
• 6:22
  that box isn't even putting them to below
• 6:24
  parallel.
• 6:25
  It's not,
• 6:26
  but at least it's better than what they're
• 6:27
  doing.
• 6:28
  So I would just put it there.
• 6:30
  Yeah.
• 6:31
  Like if you've cued someone multiple times
• 6:33
  that they're not even being close,
• 6:36
  like just bring the box.
• 6:40
  Yeah.
• 6:40
  Yeah.
• 6:42
  feel so behind on the content i know
• 6:44
  ariel and dylan did it in houston as
• 6:47
  a couple i know claire bays did it
• 6:49
  last minute like the night before signed
• 6:51
  up um so i know there's going to
• 6:54
  be a lot of footage i think ariel's
• 6:55
  putting out like a full video of their
• 6:58
  high rocks experience um so yeah was that
• 7:04
  saturday yeah yeah but people would have
• 7:08
  been doing it all weekend right yeah
• 7:12
  There's so many races now that it was
• 7:15
  Dallas, not Houston.
• 7:16
  Oh, okay.
• 7:19
  I just don't understand how people are
• 7:20
  getting into these events.
• 7:22
  Like I tried for a year to get
• 7:24
  into any event and I could not get
• 7:26
  signed up for anything.
• 7:29
  Do you, haven't they expanded though?
• 7:31
  Like the,
• 7:31
  like one day now it's like a full
• 7:35
  weekend.
• 7:36
  Yeah.
• 7:37
  We had three days in Toronto and it
• 7:40
  was sold out so fast.
• 7:42
  I didn't originally get a spot.
• 7:44
  And then Lex put her name on a
• 7:47
  wait list.
• 7:49
  And I didn't, but I'm like,
• 7:50
  I don't care.
• 7:51
  And she ended up getting an email, like,
• 7:54
  I don't know,
• 7:54
  maybe a month during the summer,
• 7:57
  maybe a month,
• 7:57
  a month and a half prior to the
• 7:59
  Toronto start one that said that they were
• 8:02
  adding more spots.
• 8:04
  And then we waited like on a queue
• 8:06
  for super, super long.
• 8:08
  And then finally, like I was in,
• 8:10
  but then there was like an issue signing
• 8:13
  up.
• 8:13
  like it was forcing us to pay for
• 8:15
  six people instead of just partners so i
• 8:19
  think that until they like fixed that and
• 8:21
  i just kept refreshing refreshing because
• 8:22
  people probably gave up and like thirty
• 8:24
  minutes later like they fixed whatever
• 8:26
  issue was happening and we got in but
• 8:28
  i know a lot of people from our
• 8:30
  gym like across the coliseum did not get
• 8:33
  into the toronto one like it just sold
• 8:35
  out so fast so we did like the
• 8:37
  mock one at our gym um like early
• 8:40
  early september
• 8:42
  I understand they heard they sell out in
• 8:43
  minutes.
• 8:44
  Yeah.
• 8:45
  Craig said Chicago was Friday through
• 8:47
  Sunday.
• 8:47
  Yep.
• 8:48
  So a three day event.
• 8:49
  I, I realized they sell out, but like,
• 8:51
  how are these people you're telling me
• 8:53
  Ariel has had been planning for this for
• 8:56
  six,
• 8:56
  seven months and was signed up like her.
• 8:59
  Like it's all,
• 8:59
  it's almost like some of these people are
• 9:01
  able to just like call the organizer and
• 9:03
  be like, Hey, I'm popular.
• 9:06
  Let me in.
• 9:07
  Like, how are these people getting in?
• 9:08
  I don't know.
• 9:13
  Fergie says Ariel and Dylan should do a
• 9:14
  home improvement high rocks where the
• 9:16
  stations are fixing things around the
• 9:18
  house and then running laps around the
• 9:19
  neighborhood.
• 9:20
  Oh,
• 9:20
  that's a great idea for our show for
• 9:22
  them.
• 9:24
  It is.
• 9:26
  Cross it.
• 9:26
  That's what I'm saying.
• 9:27
  Show influencer status and get a spot.
• 9:30
  That's what I feel like is happening.
• 9:32
  I'm never going to get to do one.
• 9:33
  But if you're an influencer now.
• 9:37
  Would you do solo or team?
• 9:38
  Solo.
• 9:40
  Well, I want I wanted to do solo.
• 9:42
  That's what I was trying to sign up
• 9:43
  for for like a year.
• 9:44
  And I just couldn't get in.
• 9:45
  And it seems like team has is easier
• 9:48
  to get into.
• 9:48
  So I would be willing to do that
• 9:50
  just to try one.
• 9:52
  But yeah,
• 9:53
  like all of these CrossFitters are getting
• 9:55
  into partner or team.
• 9:59
  And it seems like a last minute thing.
• 10:01
  Like, I don't know.
• 10:03
  You're on a show that gets a thousand
• 10:04
  views a week.
• 10:07
  So I just got an influencer now.
• 10:09
  Pretty popular.
• 10:12
  I need to do the hip comeback.
• 10:14
  You got to let me in.
• 10:15
  We got to video this.
• 10:17
  A CrossFit asked,
• 10:18
  do people scalp or squat on signups?
• 10:20
  I don't know.
• 10:23
  The minute I see running,
• 10:24
  like I don't even really pay attention.
• 10:27
  So like I,
• 10:30
  I pay attention only because CrossFitters
• 10:31
  do it and it gets talked about,
• 10:33
  but if they didn't,
• 10:34
  I would never even look.
• 10:40
  Oh, there's a good one.
• 10:41
  Maybe agents buy up a bunch of spots.
• 10:44
  I guess that's a possibility.
• 10:47
  Could see that.
• 10:47
  They're a bike division.
• 10:52
  Exactly.
• 10:54
  Exactly.
• 10:55
  Yeah, I'll do the bike division.
• 10:56
  Like a bike that you would go around,
• 10:57
  not a stationary.
• 10:58
  Like you would just ride your bike around.
• 11:00
  Exactly.
• 11:02
  With a little bell on the handle.
• 11:04
  You're in a new world record time by
• 11:08
  Scott.
• 11:11
  Exactly.
• 11:12
  Exactly.
• 11:13
  I should invent that.
• 11:14
  The bike high rocks.
• 11:18
  On your left.
• 11:26
  You just need to get the shoes that
• 11:27
  have the rollerblades underneath.
• 11:29
  Like what are those called?
• 11:33
  Like what if someone just did that and
• 11:35
  just like ran and then just slid a
• 11:36
  little bit, run, slide.
• 11:40
  Would anyone know?
• 11:42
  I don't know.
• 11:43
  I saw this real this weekend of a
• 11:46
  guy who ran one of the big marathons
• 11:48
  and there are shoes that are illegal to
• 11:50
  use in the marathons.
• 11:51
  Cause there's like too much cushioning in
• 11:53
  them.
• 11:54
  And he was going to try to see
• 11:56
  if he could wear them and get away
• 11:57
  with it.
• 11:57
  Do they really, really check?
• 12:01
  And, um, and he didn't get caught.
• 12:06
  I feel like a,
• 12:07
  a CrossFitter would do it in like a,
• 12:10
  a race where you're just running for a
• 12:11
  while and no one's out on the field
• 12:12
  and they just like have these secret shoes
• 12:15
  and just start roller,
• 12:16
  like not rollerblading,
• 12:16
  but it feels like rollerblade gliding.
• 12:19
  Hillary would be looking forward, he says.
• 12:21
  Yeah, of course.
• 12:24
  It would be, it would be cool though.
• 12:29
  Uh, Fergie show,
• 12:30
  I did Murph on the assault bike and
• 12:31
  it was ninety six cows times two.
• 12:34
  My tailbone was never the same after that.
• 12:36
  Yeah,
• 12:36
  I did with a hundred cows times two,
• 12:38
  same thing.
• 12:39
  Essentially that last,
• 12:41
  that last hundred cows was God awful,
• 12:45
  awful.
• 12:49
  Um,
• 12:50
  biking the last two or three months that
• 12:51
  I'm yeah, I'm over biking.
• 13:00
  Vested assault bike is elite thinking.
• 13:03
  Yeah.
• 13:05
  I wear my vest permanently.
• 13:06
  I don't ever put one on.
• 13:16
  Let's get into it tonight.
• 13:17
  Okay.
• 13:21
  We're going to start off with pencil, pen,
• 13:22
  or Sharpie.
• 13:22
  Okay.
• 13:23
  And again, just like last week,
• 13:25
  I have them mixed in throughout the show
• 13:27
  as kind of the lead into the topic.
• 13:30
  so first one up pencil pen or sharpie
• 13:36
  the qualification process for semi-finals
• 13:38
  is way too inconsistent did you say pen
• 13:47
  for sure pen for sure like at least
• 13:49
  pen pen or sharpie yeah so i would
• 13:51
  initially say sharpie
• 13:54
  I would say Sharpie.
• 13:55
  It is too inconsistent like that.
• 13:56
  I think that's just a hard line right
• 13:58
  there.
• 13:59
  My issue is I'd say Penn because CrossFit
• 14:04
  HQ has made it that it's going to
• 14:08
  be this way.
• 14:08
  I mean,
• 14:08
  you've put it in people's hands and they
• 14:11
  have to make sure that their needs are
• 14:14
  being met.
• 14:15
  They have to make money.
• 14:16
  They want to run it the way they
• 14:17
  want to run it.
• 14:18
  So I get,
• 14:21
  I like that pretty much all of them
• 14:23
  have
• 14:24
  You know, we're doing it.
• 14:25
  We're going from the open or whatever this
• 14:27
  way.
• 14:28
  But we're also going to do our thing
• 14:30
  for twenty of the invites or however they
• 14:31
  want to do it.
• 14:32
  And I can't fault them for that.
• 14:35
  Is it inconsistent?
• 14:36
  One hundred percent.
• 14:39
  Mayhem using rogue is insane to me.
• 14:42
  That's not even based on this season.
• 14:45
  They did that last year, right?
• 14:47
  As well?
• 14:48
  Yeah, I guess.
• 14:50
  Did they use that or did they use
• 14:51
  Apollo?
• 14:52
  I thought they used that last year.
• 14:53
  Or did they use Apollo?
• 14:56
  No, I think they used Rogue last year.
• 14:58
  That's insane to me.
• 14:59
  Yeah, I'm with you guys.
• 15:04
  I would say Sharpie.
• 15:09
  There's a question here that I...
• 15:11
  Cross fat open quarterfinals or don't not
• 15:15
  like kinda and some spots for country
• 15:17
  folk,
• 15:18
  some spots for folk not doing the games.
• 15:21
  I'm with you.
• 15:21
  It makes it if you want people to
• 15:23
  understand your sport,
• 15:25
  don't complicate things, right?
• 15:27
  You make it simple.
• 15:30
  Um,
• 15:30
  right now we have mayhem going with the
• 15:32
  rogue leaderboard,
• 15:33
  which is not designed for this kind of
• 15:37
  thing.
• 15:37
  It's for rogues event.
• 15:39
  Right.
• 15:39
  And then they have,
• 15:41
  there's others that are using the,
• 15:42
  you know,
• 15:42
  the open straight out of the open and
• 15:45
  then others are using online qualifiers.
• 15:48
  So like it's,
• 15:49
  it's this mixed bag of things.
• 15:51
  And then you have quarterfinals thrown in
• 15:52
  the mix.
• 15:52
  Do they even matter?
• 15:55
  If the semifinals are going from the open
• 15:57
  to,
• 15:58
  And not the quarterfinals.
• 15:59
  That just doesn't make sense.
• 16:01
  It's purely for the,
• 16:02
  I thought a lot of this,
• 16:03
  I thought a lot of the semifinals went
• 16:05
  from the quarterfinals and the
• 16:06
  quarterfinals were really important this
• 16:07
  year.
• 16:08
  Well, I hope, but I,
• 16:10
  I saw one say they're picking from the
• 16:12
  open, but it's such a mess.
• 16:16
  Like I don't even know.
• 16:18
  I probably don't have it sorted right in
• 16:19
  my head.
• 16:20
  And that's a problem.
• 16:22
  Right.
• 16:23
  Right.
• 16:24
  Um,
• 16:26
  And I really, I'm with CrossFit.
• 16:28
  I really hate that you have some people
• 16:30
  not doing the game season,
• 16:32
  able to jump in and complicate the
• 16:35
  leaderboard and take points at different
• 16:39
  aspects throughout the weekend that aren't
• 16:41
  fair across the board.
• 16:47
  Yeah.
• 16:48
  And I really think that it just makes
• 16:51
  it harder to explain.
• 16:52
  The harder it is to explain,
• 16:54
  the harder it is to get people attracted
• 16:56
  to the sport.
• 16:59
  And then we don't even know what the
• 17:00
  rulebook says.
• 17:01
  Is the Open a prerequisite of it all?
• 17:03
  Do you have to do the Open to
• 17:05
  go to the games?
• 17:06
  That was a rule last year.
• 17:07
  We haven't seen this year's rulebook.
• 17:09
  So we don't know if that's been retained.
• 17:10
  I think you do.
• 17:11
  You still have to be in that top...
• 17:15
  one percent or whatever it is like like
• 17:17
  where tia and hayley and and gee wasn't
• 17:19
  even in there like they were and some
• 17:21
  of them were close i'm pretty sure that
• 17:23
  number's still in the rule book and you
• 17:25
  have to be i haven't released it so
• 17:26
  how would you know i swear that came
• 17:31
  out it says crossfit will tell us it's
• 17:34
  it's been published that's been published
• 17:37
  i think it was in one of the
• 17:38
  announcements that they've made on like
• 17:40
  the the semi-finals yes
• 17:44
  Well, there's the other problem.
• 17:46
  Now,
• 17:46
  different pieces are being released as
• 17:48
  different... You know what I'm saying?
• 17:53
  Some aspects of the semifinal seasons are
• 17:54
  being released now.
• 17:56
  The rulebook's going to come out later.
• 17:58
  How much is going to jive?
• 18:00
  How much is going to change?
• 18:06
  The bar chart, line chart,
• 18:08
  graphic showed it.
• 18:09
  Well, that clears it right up.
• 18:10
  Where's that?
• 18:15
  that on instagram i i do think i've
• 18:20
  heard it but scott is right why isn't
• 18:23
  there a document that it makes this very
• 18:25
  clear yeah i know late robot coming out
• 18:30
  later is nothing new again terry i think
• 18:35
  dave confirmed it in this week in review
• 18:37
  that's just another point of contact with
• 18:41
  the rules for the season coming out at
• 18:42
  different places different times
• 18:44
  They've done better this year with earlier
• 18:46
  releases of information,
• 18:48
  but it's still very inconsistent across
• 18:50
  the board.
• 18:50
  Yeah.
• 18:56
  And Kenneth,
• 18:56
  the lap guarantees me it'll be in the
• 18:58
  rule book.
• 18:59
  I mean, it will, but it, it's just,
• 19:03
  it is, it's too confusing to follow.
• 19:05
  I mean,
• 19:06
  I have so many people at the gym
• 19:07
  who don't even understand the season and
• 19:10
  You're right, Scott.
• 19:10
  Like we are not drawing in new,
• 19:13
  new viewers.
• 19:13
  Like people don't understand the sport.
• 19:15
  It is not simple to follow.
• 19:18
  I mean,
• 19:18
  I had a member message me the other
• 19:19
  day and ask,
• 19:21
  show me a shared a screen of high
• 19:24
  rocks.
• 19:24
  I was like, is this a CrossFit event?
• 19:26
  And I like, I mean,
• 19:27
  my people just don't know.
• 19:29
  It has to be dumbed way down for
• 19:31
  people.
• 19:33
  CrossFit that he saw it on Dave's cousin's
• 19:35
  best friend's Instagram,
• 19:36
  but on their private stories.
• 19:38
  That tracks.
• 19:42
  Uh, herpes free since oh three.
• 19:44
  Why should the athletes community have to
• 19:45
  go to an employee's personal YouTube
• 19:47
  account to get clarification on the
• 19:49
  season?
• 19:50
  Absolute amateur hour.
• 19:53
  And on top of that, Eric Mackey, uh,
• 19:56
  why does IG count as an official
• 19:57
  announcement?
• 19:58
  That's your news these days.
• 20:03
  It takes,
• 20:04
  if it takes more than three sentences,
• 20:05
  I see eyes glaze over when I try
• 20:07
  to explain it.
• 20:08
  That is exactly right.
• 20:14
  so i think we shot that in the
• 20:18
  head killed that one i think that's pretty
• 20:21
  much sharpie across the board with maybe a
• 20:23
  little bit of pen yep but definitely some
• 20:26
  kind of hardcore ink yeah yeah i don't
• 20:30
  fault the comps per se they've been put
• 20:33
  in this position but
• 20:35
  And I don't know what the, I mean,
• 20:38
  unless CrossFit takes it back,
• 20:39
  it's really hard to streamline it and make
• 20:42
  it very clear.
• 20:43
  Because then you're forcing,
• 20:44
  you might as well have done it yourself
• 20:46
  if you're going to input these limitations
• 20:49
  on it.
• 20:50
  So Kenneth has taken the role of poking
• 20:52
  the bear.
• 20:53
  That's kind of what he does.
• 20:55
  You guys are,
• 20:56
  your guys' boomerism is showing.
• 20:59
  The boomers can handle the three
• 21:00
  sentences.
• 21:02
  The younger generations cannot even handle
• 21:04
  that sentence.
• 21:05
  Yeah, two seconds and they're out.
• 21:07
  Like, you got to catch them like that.
• 21:15
  All right, let's go to the second one.
• 21:19
  Pencil, pen, or Sharpie?
• 21:21
  The WFP needs to pivot the business plan
• 21:24
  to be successful next season.
• 21:31
  Pen.
• 21:32
  Sharpie, I think.
• 21:37
  i i this is like they do need
• 21:39
  to pivot they have they have to pivot
• 21:43
  they do need to pivot it's almost like
• 21:45
  pencil because i i don't even know if
• 21:47
  it's salvageable so like i don't even know
• 21:50
  um but yeah like if they're looking to
• 21:54
  increase the amount of comps like they got
• 21:56
  to pivot they got to pivot they got
• 21:58
  yeah they can't do four or five comps
• 22:01
  next year
• 22:04
  If this is an indication right now,
• 22:05
  like how the athletes are just dropping
• 22:08
  out, make it one.
• 22:11
  Make it two.
• 22:12
  Make it one with a qualifier and put
• 22:14
  all your money towards that.
• 22:16
  Yep.
• 22:17
  So I was getting creative by the end
• 22:19
  of the week.
• 22:20
  And I truly think it needs to become
• 22:23
  a reality show.
• 22:25
  Yes.
• 22:26
  Go two weeks.
• 22:28
  You sign up.
• 22:30
  You start at the beginning.
• 22:32
  Maybe you have all this travel money that
• 22:34
  you're giving everybody to go wherever
• 22:35
  they want to go as long as they're
• 22:36
  wearing a WFP shirt.
• 22:38
  Go wherever you want in Europe.
• 22:40
  Go city to city.
• 22:43
  Do different CrossFit events.
• 22:45
  And then there's an elimination every
• 22:47
  episode, every hour.
• 22:49
  And then you move on.
• 22:50
  At the end of the week,
• 22:50
  someone wins the big prize.
• 22:53
  at the end.
• 22:54
  And instead of having a contract,
• 22:58
  it's a rush to who wins the king
• 23:01
  of the mountain.
• 23:03
  Like that Netflix,
• 23:06
  wasn't it like a hundred?
• 23:07
  That's what I was telling Scott at the
• 23:09
  beginning of the week.
• 23:10
  I think they should have
• 23:12
  Yeah.
• 23:13
  Or Mr.
• 23:14
  What am I blanking on his name?
• 23:15
  He's a YouTuber.
• 23:17
  Mr. Beast.
• 23:18
  Mr. Beast.
• 23:18
  So where I'm taking it from is the
• 23:19
  challenge.
• 23:20
  Do you remember back in the days,
• 23:21
  the road rules, real world challenge?
• 23:23
  It's now more into the challenge.
• 23:25
  They do these really hard physical tasks.
• 23:28
  The bottom people go up for vote.
• 23:32
  And then the bottom two have to go
• 23:33
  to an elimination.
• 23:35
  One event, whoever loses goes home.
• 23:39
  And then you just keep doing that to
• 23:40
  find out who's the fittest.
• 23:42
  Or maybe it's not the fittest.
• 23:43
  We don't want to call it the fittest.
• 23:44
  Yeah,
• 23:44
  I don't think you can do fittest with
• 23:46
  elimination stuff.
• 23:48
  But it's to get eyes on different types
• 23:50
  of CrossFit events.
• 23:51
  Yeah.
• 23:54
  They could call it the road to the
• 23:55
  final tour stop.
• 23:58
  I don't care what they call it.
• 23:59
  They need to add some excitement to it.
• 24:03
  Eric Mackey, if Prevo is out,
• 24:05
  you know it's a problem.
• 24:06
  always giving people a chance.
• 24:08
  I wanted to give them a chance.
• 24:10
  Unlike Jamie, who says they're done.
• 24:14
  I did not say that.
• 24:16
  I wanted to give them a chance.
• 24:17
  I just think they spent their money
• 24:19
  stupidly and didn't,
• 24:21
  you can't just go picking people and
• 24:22
  throwing money at them.
• 24:24
  That doesn't give them.
• 24:25
  They did.
• 24:25
  Yeah.
• 24:28
  Okay.
• 24:29
  They didn't feel like they earned like,
• 24:31
  That's the thing.
• 24:31
  People want to earn something and they
• 24:34
  want to have a stake in something like
• 24:36
  this.
• 24:37
  It was thrown at them and it means
• 24:38
  nothing.
• 24:38
  And you have seen people are like, yeah,
• 24:40
  I'm out.
• 24:41
  I mean, I've made my money.
• 24:42
  I'm good.
• 24:46
  The challenge with less alcohol sounds
• 24:48
  boring.
• 24:48
  Well...
• 24:49
  I'm not saying do exactly the challenge.
• 24:51
  We're not copying it,
• 24:53
  but like use that style of format to
• 24:55
  get like a whittled down to a champion
• 24:58
  with a big pot instead of,
• 25:00
  instead of one point two million going out
• 25:02
  in contracts,
• 25:03
  put one million at the end of the
• 25:05
  pot for the winner and two hundred grand
• 25:07
  for second place and let people fight it
• 25:10
  out through the season for those two
• 25:12
  prizes.
• 25:16
  I just think like two events, Max.
• 25:18
  You have one,
• 25:19
  and then the top few challengers can
• 25:22
  qualify for the finals,
• 25:25
  and then you go for the finals.
• 25:27
  It has the big amount.
• 25:29
  No more than two.
• 25:31
  I just don't see people doing it.
• 25:32
  It would basically be like the qualifier,
• 25:35
  which would be like the open,
• 25:37
  and first one,
• 25:38
  which would be basically your regional
• 25:40
  semifinal, and then your final.
• 25:42
  That's it.
• 25:43
  Yeah.
• 25:44
  That's it.
• 25:45
  That stops right there.
• 25:46
  I'm just trying to get creative and come
• 25:47
  up with something completely different
• 25:49
  because I think the problem is right now
• 25:52
  is it's not like everybody's saying, well,
• 25:54
  it's at Christmas.
• 25:55
  Like the final tour stops at Christmas.
• 25:56
  Nobody wants to go Chris.
• 25:57
  No, it's no off season.
• 25:59
  There's no off season.
• 26:01
  Make it a two week spectacle that people
• 26:04
  that aren't doing rogue and that aren't
• 26:06
  doing or,
• 26:08
  or water Palooza SoCal can like gear up
• 26:11
  for one big event in the off season
• 26:13
  and
• 26:16
  That's just my thought.
• 26:17
  I don't know.
• 26:19
  I think, I mean, Clooney says,
• 26:21
  so copy the games.
• 26:21
  I think that is the problem is that's
• 26:23
  kind of the road they took.
• 26:26
  And there is,
• 26:26
  there's already something people are
• 26:28
  fighting for.
• 26:30
  The major thing is to be named the
• 26:32
  fittest on earth.
• 26:33
  Unless it's a million dollar prize purse
• 26:37
  or streaming on Netflix,
• 26:39
  which is bigger than ESPN and CBS at
• 26:42
  this point,
• 26:42
  like you need to go on a platform
• 26:44
  like that.
• 26:45
  Unless there's something like that to
• 26:46
  entice people outside of the sport to come
• 26:49
  challenge and bring in new eyes,
• 26:52
  you're getting no one new into this and
• 26:54
  no...
• 26:56
  WP isn't going to grow spectator-wise.
• 26:59
  Again,
• 27:00
  they need to pivot in a way that
• 27:02
  somehow opens us up to new eyes.
• 27:04
  Right now,
• 27:05
  we're copying what we already have.
• 27:07
  Those people that are fit enough and good
• 27:09
  enough already have something they're
• 27:11
  shooting for.
• 27:12
  The only way it would work would be
• 27:16
  if you want to like completely pivot and
• 27:18
  do something different is you want to make
• 27:20
  the workouts or challenges,
• 27:21
  something that everyone, anyone, not like,
• 27:24
  but like top athletes in whatever sport
• 27:26
  football would show up.
• 27:27
  Um, like you, you make it,
• 27:29
  I think it's like,
• 27:30
  I don't know if it's apex or something.
• 27:32
  They're doing some challenges that are
• 27:34
  like strength-based agility-based power,
• 27:38
  long distance,
• 27:39
  and then more like functional.
• 27:40
  But you would,
• 27:41
  you would have a set of tests for,
• 27:44
  And it's not CrossFit.
• 27:46
  And it's basically you're testing fitness
• 27:48
  in different ways,
• 27:49
  but a lot more accessible,
• 27:51
  kind of like High Rocks made it a
• 27:53
  lot more accessible with low skill and not
• 27:55
  as much strength.
• 27:56
  But this one would be a little bit
• 27:57
  more CrossFit-y base.
• 27:59
  And you would have different competitions
• 28:01
  across the world.
• 28:02
  And then you have a final with the
• 28:04
  champions from different areas.
• 28:09
  Like, I think that would be cool.
• 28:10
  And at least it's different...
• 28:13
  Then the CrossFit season.
• 28:16
  Cause I think you would get different
• 28:17
  athletes come into it.
• 28:19
  Yeah.
• 28:21
  That would be super fit.
• 28:22
  They just don't know how to do butterfly
• 28:23
  pull-ups, but they're so, they're so fit,
• 28:25
  but like it doesn't mean any butterfly
• 28:28
  pull-ups in, in the events.
• 28:30
  I'm going to pitch my thing one more
• 28:31
  time because I want it to be a
• 28:34
  spectacle.
• 28:34
  I want it to be something that like,
• 28:36
  even if you don't win,
• 28:37
  it's an experience that you get to travel
• 28:39
  around Europe or you get to travel
• 28:40
  wherever, right?
• 28:42
  So you're buying because it's going to be
• 28:44
  all expenses paid.
• 28:47
  And then because you're traveling from
• 28:49
  town to town together,
• 28:51
  that adds the footage from off the floor
• 28:54
  to add some drama to this.
• 28:56
  There's a reason why the challenge is on
• 28:58
  Paramount+.
• 29:00
  There's a reason why those shows are on
• 29:02
  network TV.
• 29:03
  Yeah, like Broken Skull Ranch.
• 29:08
  That's another show that did the same
• 29:09
  thing, right?
• 29:10
  There's a show on TV right now where
• 29:12
  they play kids games and the goal is
• 29:15
  just to not finish last.
• 29:17
  And it has nothing to do with fitness
• 29:18
  and people are watching it and it's on
• 29:19
  Fox.
• 29:22
  If you add that storytelling part to the
• 29:25
  back end with the traveling together,
• 29:27
  people become friends,
• 29:28
  people become buddies,
• 29:30
  people become allies, stuff like that.
• 29:33
  It would add to eyeballs on the sport
• 29:38
  in a different way than what we have
• 29:40
  right now.
• 29:42
  But at the end of the day,
• 29:44
  I don't think WFP is willing to pivot
• 29:46
  to something like that.
• 29:47
  Yeah, I don't either, unfortunately.
• 29:50
  I think you got to like insert the
• 29:51
  friends episode pivot, pivot, you know,
• 29:54
  the couch up the stairs.
• 29:55
  Yeah.
• 29:56
  Then you get the showmances like it's
• 29:58
  being inferred here.
• 29:59
  Right.
• 30:02
  All that drama leads to attention and
• 30:05
  eyeballs.
• 30:08
  But,
• 30:09
  and if you win a million dollars at
• 30:11
  the end,
• 30:12
  a lot of people are willing to go
• 30:13
  through the drama to get it.
• 30:14
  Yeah.
• 30:19
  I'm just thinking instead of copying the
• 30:21
  games,
• 30:22
  they need to be as different from the
• 30:24
  games as possible to create their own
• 30:26
  niche.
• 30:27
  Well,
• 30:27
  it's just too hard for like it's the
• 30:29
  same athletes trying to do both for like
• 30:31
  at least half of the field,
• 30:32
  three quarters of the field.
• 30:34
  It is the same athletes.
• 30:36
  So it's just it's a lot,
• 30:37
  especially if they want to add more events
• 30:39
  like it's just not.
• 30:41
  That's why I was excited for something
• 30:43
  like this.
• 30:44
  to give twenty thirty other people a
• 30:47
  chance to get their name out there and
• 30:50
  to just pick these people that already
• 30:53
  have sponsors and contracts again you're
• 30:56
  giving money to people who are already
• 30:58
  making money and it doesn't make sense to
• 30:59
  them if you would have done a qual
• 31:02
  online qualifier and had people fighting
• 31:05
  for this opportunity
• 31:07
  I don't know if it would have translated
• 31:09
  well to the media, but like,
• 31:11
  you wouldn't have had these dropouts.
• 31:13
  Like it would have looked more successful
• 31:15
  throughout the season because people would
• 31:17
  have been fighting for something.
• 31:18
  And heck, we might've gotten,
• 31:20
  if their media had done their job,
• 31:21
  we might've gotten some new storylines and
• 31:24
  met new people who were excited to see
• 31:28
  come out of this space and make it
• 31:29
  into the games next year.
• 31:31
  Like,
• 31:31
  I think it could have been a great
• 31:33
  feeder system to give some people a shot
• 31:36
  at making this their lifestyle,
• 31:41
  quit their job, do this for a year.
• 31:42
  And maybe they make it to the games
• 31:44
  and take over some other people.
• 31:47
  I can't.
• 31:48
  It's a lot of squid games.
• 31:49
  Yeah.
• 31:49
  Without the death.
• 31:53
  Um, Kalani says,
• 31:54
  I think a six or seven week tour
• 31:55
  with stops in North America, Australia,
• 31:58
  Africa, and Europe would be awesome here.
• 32:00
  I think six or seven weeks is too
• 32:02
  long.
• 32:03
  These people need an off season.
• 32:05
  So that's why I'm saying two weeks and
• 32:07
  maybe this year you do the European
• 32:09
  version.
• 32:09
  And then next year you do the Australian
• 32:11
  version.
• 32:12
  And then the year after that,
• 32:13
  you do the North American tour.
• 32:14
  Like you can get around from year to,
• 32:17
  from year to year.
• 32:18
  So you,
• 32:18
  people are getting different experiences.
• 32:20
  Yeah.
• 32:20
  They're not getting paid enough to do a
• 32:22
  six to seven week tour and be going
• 32:25
  to all these places.
• 32:27
  Yeah.
• 32:29
  But this is the other downside.
• 32:31
  CrossFit has never been good with NDAs.
• 32:34
  And if you do like that two week
• 32:35
  episodic version,
• 32:37
  people would have to keep their mouth shut
• 32:39
  until the episodes were released.
• 32:42
  And we've not been good with that.
• 32:48
  So.
• 32:53
  Ken Walters.
• 32:54
  So Margo Alvarez, Titan Games.
• 32:55
  That was fun to watch.
• 32:57
  But I think Margo is awesome.
• 32:58
  So I have bias.
• 32:59
  I watched every episode of Titan Games.
• 33:00
  I did too.
• 33:01
  Yeah, that was cool.
• 33:05
  And when Matt Chan and Dana Spiegel won,
• 33:07
  that was awesome.
• 33:09
  Because it showed CrossFit as the dominant
• 33:11
  fitness style.
• 33:19
  The game season is the one that is
• 33:20
  way too long.
• 33:21
  It takes six months to have the same
• 33:22
  people at the games.
• 33:28
  I think that lull between May and the
• 33:31
  end of June, that could be sped up.
• 33:39
  Yeah.
• 33:39
  Yeah,
• 33:39
  I definitely think the season could be a
• 33:40
  six-month season for sure and then have
• 33:42
  all the off-season stuff after.
• 33:47
  i agree fergie making an observation that
• 33:50
  it's not even december and carolyn is
• 33:51
  already wearing layers indoors this is
• 33:54
  comfy i yeah i'm too i have two
• 33:58
  layers on like it's cold so
• 34:03
  All right.
• 34:04
  The reason this was brought up is this
• 34:05
  week,
• 34:06
  two more people have withdrawn from WFP.
• 34:08
  That's Jay Crouch and Austin Hatfield.
• 34:10
  Previously, we've had Alex Kazan,
• 34:12
  Jason Hopper, Maddie Sturt, Paige Semenza,
• 34:14
  Emma McQuaid, Bethany Flores, Haley Adams,
• 34:17
  Victor Hoffer, Lexi Neely, and Sam Quant.
• 34:22
  And we're still over a month out.
• 34:26
  No, maybe not.
• 34:26
  Maybe a month out.
• 34:27
  Three weeks?
• 34:29
  Yeah, three weeks.
• 34:31
  Okay.
• 34:33
  crazy um they did they only had one
• 34:37
  or two workouts out two two workouts the
• 34:41
  the double swim yeah and oh the the
• 34:47
  parallette handstand push-up yep that's it
• 34:56
  i was trying to pull them up
• 35:00
  Bergie,
• 35:00
  my parents are in Florida right now and
• 35:02
  they call me every day and tell me
• 35:03
  it's seven or eighty and I'm like, yeah,
• 35:05
  it's like thirty two here.
• 35:07
  It actually was beautiful day.
• 35:08
  It was like forty five.
• 35:10
  Sunny.
• 35:11
  Here's workout pro two.
• 35:14
  Five rounds for time,
• 35:15
  seven parallel handstand pushups,
• 35:18
  twenty one toes to bar,
• 35:19
  seven actual bar deadlifts.
• 35:28
  I like that.
• 35:29
  Yeah.
• 35:29
  Did it say the deficit?
• 35:31
  No.
• 35:31
  I don't think they're going to give that
• 35:34
  information away.
• 35:40
  Why?
• 35:41
  So Corey had a big problem with this
• 35:42
  this week,
• 35:43
  that it went from seven to twenty one
• 35:45
  back to seven,
• 35:46
  that that numbering just seems odd.
• 35:48
  Is it something that you guys find odd?
• 35:50
  No, no.
• 35:53
  Does he want to see if does he
• 35:54
  want it to be seven, fourteen, twenty one?
• 35:56
  I don't like it make.
• 35:59
  I think the numbers are good.
• 36:00
  I think the numbers are fine.
• 36:03
  There's three things.
• 36:05
  Seven is like it's fine to me.
• 36:07
  That looks visually fine.
• 36:10
  Yeah, the weights are odd.
• 36:11
  That's what I found odd.
• 36:13
  Nothing is even.
• 36:15
  It's one hundred and thirteen or one
• 36:17
  hundred and fifty eight kilograms or two
• 36:19
  hundred forty nine or three forty eight
• 36:20
  pounds.
• 36:22
  Well, they're over...
• 36:23
  That's because they're using... Yeah,
• 36:24
  they're using kilograms.
• 36:27
  And they probably actually tested it and
• 36:28
  figured out what fit on the axle bar
• 36:29
  and how to secure it,
• 36:30
  so they've got the right weights.
• 36:34
  Okay.
• 36:36
  Why not just call it... I don't know.
• 36:38
  Okay.
• 36:40
  Kenneth Lapp,
• 36:41
  seven and twenty-one are actually odd
• 36:43
  numbers.
• 36:43
  Give Corey a break.
• 36:44
  Okay.
• 36:45
  Fair enough.
• 36:46
  Math got me.
• 36:51
  So...
• 36:51
  Okay.
• 36:52
  So there's that one.
• 36:53
  And then we also have that,
• 36:56
  what I like to call the double swim,
• 36:57
  which we've talked about already.
• 37:01
  Yeah, I love that.
• 37:01
  The other...
• 37:05
  The one thing about that one that I
• 37:06
  found funny...
• 37:07
  The swimmers just can afford to go harder
• 37:10
  on the machines and swim.
• 37:14
  People who aren't as good as swimmers,
• 37:16
  they can't go hard on the machine
• 37:17
  because...
• 37:18
  They're not as good in the water.
• 37:20
  It's the same people that will do well.
• 37:22
  So Lucy Campbell did a story where she
• 37:24
  was talking about the two events and
• 37:26
  specifically the five hundred.
• 37:28
  And she had made the comment that I'd
• 37:31
  made a couple of days before,
• 37:33
  which was the five hundred meters is not
• 37:35
  even a real swim event.
• 37:37
  It's four hundred meters.
• 37:38
  Or if you're doing yards,
• 37:39
  then it's five hundred yards.
• 37:41
  But they're doing five hundred meters.
• 37:43
  so i was trying to predict what time
• 37:45
  lucy would have and she said i've heard
• 37:47
  a lot of predictions about my five hundred
• 37:49
  some people are way slow some people are
• 37:51
  way fast and some people were pretty good
• 37:54
  i just want to know where i'm at
• 37:56
  on the prediction um what did you predict
• 37:59
  for her so i thought because she's not
• 38:02
  she's not training swimming right now that
• 38:04
  she would be in like the six and
• 38:05
  a half fish range if she was training
• 38:10
  she'd be way faster than that
• 38:13
  But because she's training other things in
• 38:15
  addition to that, I think that,
• 38:17
  and she's probably put on more muscle
• 38:18
  mass,
• 38:20
  that distance will be slower than it was
• 38:22
  back in her prime.
• 38:28
  And I know like when I swam that
• 38:29
  event early in the season,
• 38:31
  I was much slower and then I got
• 38:33
  faster as the season went on and I
• 38:35
  got into the season and in just better
• 38:38
  shape.
• 38:39
  We did a,
• 38:40
  we did a five hundred at master's fitness,
• 38:41
  didn't we?
• 38:44
  Five hundred yards.
• 38:44
  Yeah.
• 38:47
  Do you think the athletes should be
• 38:48
  allowed to flip turn or should it be
• 38:50
  even?
• 38:54
  Doesn't matter to me.
• 38:58
  Yeah.
• 38:58
  I'm OK with a flip turn if you
• 38:59
  can do it.
• 39:02
  You better be good at it because like
• 39:04
  you're going to not have as much air
• 39:05
  as the person who doesn't.
• 39:10
  So if you're fringe and you do that,
• 39:13
  it's taking a little bit of a risk.
• 39:14
  I don't do, I don't usually do it.
• 39:16
  I don't think it pays off for me.
• 39:18
  Not in,
• 39:20
  but would it eat like it would at
• 39:23
  least even up a little bit more for
• 39:26
  the people that have like that swimming
• 39:27
  background to not allow them to, I don't,
• 39:32
  I feel like it makes a difference.
• 39:33
  Yeah.
• 39:34
  I don't think it,
• 39:37
  I don't think it changes that much.
• 39:39
  Now you make a flip turn standard.
• 39:41
  You got to,
• 39:42
  you're going to kill some people.
• 39:43
  Right.
• 39:48
  I remember trying to learn the flip turn
• 39:49
  one time and I did a flip and
• 39:51
  I go to kick and I just all,
• 39:53
  not even close to the wall.
• 39:54
  And I was like,
• 39:55
  I'm not meant for this.
• 39:56
  Yeah.
• 39:56
  It's usually not worth it for me.
• 40:01
  I think the last time I went in
• 40:02
  the water was like last year.
• 40:07
  My guess is Lucy's not going to go
• 40:10
  at her full race speed.
• 40:12
  Right.
• 40:14
  She's going to take it as fast as
• 40:15
  she needs to and then let the chips
• 40:19
  fall where they may.
• 40:20
  And maybe she doesn't even do the flip
• 40:22
  turn.
• 40:22
  Maybe she just stops so she can look.
• 40:23
  I don't know.
• 40:28
  I think she's probably so accustomed to
• 40:29
  the flip turn.
• 40:29
  I'll tell you.
• 40:33
  were times i didn't do a flip turn
• 40:34
  while i was swimming so now if i
• 40:40
  was in like full race mode and i
• 40:42
  was going for the gusto like definitely
• 40:44
  i'd do a flip turn but i don't
• 40:50
  know okay so where are we at here
• 40:52
  oh uh the project one yeah uh that
• 40:56
  they're doing are they're partnering with
• 40:57
  the navy seals
• 41:00
  for that.
• 41:01
  I don't know what that partnership means.
• 41:03
  Is that a workout?
• 41:05
  It's supposed to be their version of High
• 41:06
  Rocks.
• 41:12
  It's one event that the whole community
• 41:14
  can do.
• 41:17
  It's supposed to have that feel of a
• 41:20
  High Rocks.
• 41:21
  Maybe not as much running.
• 41:23
  Are the athletes going to be doing the
• 41:25
  same workout?
• 41:25
  I don't understand.
• 41:28
  I don't understand.
• 41:30
  I feel like they probably will.
• 41:32
  I thought that it was supposed to be
• 41:33
  their first event or maybe not their
• 41:35
  first, but an event.
• 41:36
  Yeah.
• 41:37
  That's what I,
• 41:37
  that's why I remember like something like
• 41:38
  that.
• 41:39
  So that could still be an event that
• 41:41
  they have to do.
• 41:46
  I think,
• 41:47
  I think they're spreading themselves way
• 41:49
  too thin.
• 41:49
  Yeah.
• 41:50
  Already struggling with one aspect of it
• 41:53
  and to move into all these other different
• 41:55
  avenues.
• 41:55
  Yeah.
• 41:56
  And I said earlier this week,
• 41:58
  it's making them the cheesecake factory of
• 42:00
  fitness.
• 42:01
  There's just too many things on the menu.
• 42:04
  They're trying to dive into affiliates.
• 42:05
  They're trying to dive into this high
• 42:06
  rocks ish thing.
• 42:08
  They're trying to dive into a pro sport,
• 42:10
  like pick one lane and just get that
• 42:13
  down.
• 42:13
  Yeah.
• 42:18
  So, all right.
• 42:22
  Next pencil pen or Sharpie.
• 42:27
  pencil pen or sharpie superstitions are
• 42:29
  real and they help with the outcome of
• 42:31
  the event the outcome of the event yeah
• 42:37
  so the reason this came like for that
• 42:39
  person that's superstitious so yes so the
• 42:43
  reason this came up i'm going to tell
• 42:44
  you my story this morning i have worn
• 42:47
  the same shirt every time the bears have
• 42:49
  won this year okay every time i woke
• 42:53
  up this morning and i could not find
• 42:54
  the shirt
• 42:56
  And I was freaking out.
• 42:59
  And I swore my wife was hiding it
• 43:01
  because we were playing her team and she
• 43:04
  was hiding it from me.
• 43:05
  She knew.
• 43:08
  And here it just,
• 43:09
  it was still hanging up in the basement
• 43:11
  and hadn't made it upstairs.
• 43:12
  So I did get it on in time
• 43:14
  and look what happened.
• 43:15
  bears won it's the shirt it's the shirt
• 43:18
  so superstition superstitions are real and
• 43:22
  they actually control the outcome of games
• 43:25
  so you're a sharpie here i'm a sharpie
• 43:29
  pencil i mean they help with the outcome
• 43:33
  of the event i would say i would
• 43:37
  say sharpie because i feel like so but
• 43:41
  personally like
• 43:43
  not, I don't have, I,
• 43:45
  I get what you're saying.
• 43:46
  And I like,
• 43:47
  I sure I've had some thoughts like that.
• 43:48
  There was,
• 43:49
  there's a bracelet that I wear for all
• 43:50
  the Michigan state games, but exactly.
• 43:54
  There's been, I mean,
• 43:55
  it was working great for years,
• 43:57
  but the last like three,
• 43:58
  four years have not been as great.
• 44:00
  Um,
• 44:01
  And I don't,
• 44:02
  and I'm not consistent with it, but like,
• 44:04
  I do think if you,
• 44:05
  if like an athlete has a superstition, a,
• 44:09
  like some type of like OCD complex going
• 44:12
  into things like they need to get their
• 44:14
  mind right to perform consistent.
• 44:17
  So yeah,
• 44:18
  I think there's some superstitions that
• 44:19
  definitely can affect the outcome of an
• 44:21
  event for a person.
• 44:24
  I don't think I, I think.
• 44:26
  fans i love it it's cute i there's
• 44:29
  you know screaming at the tv they can
• 44:31
  hear you for sure like they just feel
• 44:34
  my passion we're all over the map on
• 44:40
  this just so you know they are exactly
• 44:43
  right they're real until they aren't uh
• 44:46
  purely for your psyche they're real for
• 44:48
  yourself but when you you can't be
• 44:50
  superstitious about something you don't
• 44:52
  have control over right yeah
• 44:56
  but if it's for your own performance,
• 44:58
  like mental, I mean,
• 45:00
  I've worn like the same outfit that I
• 45:02
  like had a good day lifting in.
• 45:04
  Cause I was going for a heavy lift,
• 45:05
  like something like that.
• 45:06
  But like, did it work?
• 45:07
  No.
• 45:07
  Um, Kenneth, the lab,
• 45:11
  what happens when another bears fan
• 45:13
  somewhere has a lucky shirt as well,
• 45:14
  but they don't wear it.
• 45:15
  And it,
• 45:16
  even when Scott wears his stop trying to
• 45:18
  put logic on this,
• 45:21
  it is that this is not about logic.
• 45:23
  Um,
• 45:24
  When I played sports,
• 45:25
  I had superstitions with everyone.
• 45:28
  I would eat the same meal.
• 45:29
  I would listen to the same music.
• 45:32
  All the stuff.
• 45:33
  And I think really what it did is
• 45:36
  it just got you into a routine.
• 45:38
  Yeah.
• 45:38
  The same routine preparing for the same
• 45:41
  thing.
• 45:42
  And then that's what truly helps.
• 45:45
  It's not that it's lucky.
• 45:47
  It's that it's your preparation.
• 45:48
  And because you're consistent with your
• 45:50
  preparation, then it becomes a good thing.
• 45:54
  Until it just starts adding more and more
• 45:55
  to your routine,
• 45:56
  and then your routine is just so long.
• 45:57
  Yeah.
• 45:58
  I got to add this.
• 46:01
  Oh, now I got to add this, this,
• 46:02
  this.
• 46:02
  Yeah.
• 46:08
  Kenneth Walters.
• 46:09
  Hey, Scott,
• 46:09
  watch the Chiefs Hallmark Christmas.
• 46:12
  They lost the lucky stocking cap and still
• 46:14
  won.
• 46:14
  Oh, my God.
• 46:15
  My wife made me watch it.
• 46:17
  I watched that.
• 46:18
  Oh, my gosh.
• 46:20
  Those Hallmark movies.
• 46:22
  Sometimes I, like, I catch, like,
• 46:23
  fifteen minutes of it on accident,
• 46:25
  and then I, like, can't stop watching it.
• 46:26
  I'm like, why did you start watching this?
• 46:28
  They're awful.
• 46:31
  I definitely had a couple lucky going out
• 46:34
  shirts in college.
• 46:35
  Didn't we all?
• 46:43
  Kenneth,
• 46:43
  they had portable music back then.
• 46:46
  They did.
• 46:47
  It was called A Walkman.
• 46:48
  It was on a little cassette with tape
• 46:50
  in it.
• 46:54
  Carolyn,
• 46:55
  did you have any pregame OCD habits?
• 46:59
  What would I do before games?
• 47:01
  I would always be the first one on
• 47:04
  the ice after the goalies because you
• 47:06
  always have a goalie on the ice first.
• 47:09
  So I was the first one on the
• 47:10
  ice often.
• 47:13
  I would often hit all three posts and
• 47:17
  I'd be the last one off the ice.
• 47:20
  And then sometimes you're waiting for
• 47:22
  someone and you're like, okay,
• 47:23
  that's fine.
• 47:23
  I'll just get off.
• 47:26
  But not too, too much.
• 47:30
  CrossFat.
• 47:31
  Please explain why those going out shirts
• 47:33
  were lucky.
• 47:33
  I don't understand.
• 47:35
  Maybe when you get older, CrossFat.
• 47:44
  In Ken's day,
• 47:45
  it was called a transistor radio.
• 47:47
  Transistor radio.
• 47:51
  Fergie,
• 47:52
  mine was the way I taped up before
• 47:53
  a game.
• 47:55
  Towards the end,
• 47:57
  I stopped taping my stick.
• 48:00
  I would just put a little sticker and
• 48:02
  then it was done.
• 48:03
  Didn't have to tape it.
• 48:10
  Okay.
• 48:12
  So that is that one.
• 48:15
  We're getting through the stuff tonight
• 48:17
  fast.
• 48:18
  All right.
• 48:20
  Herd Fest happened this weekend.
• 48:22
  I know that
• 48:24
  Carolyn has been supported by her,
• 48:26
  by John Hurd and his company.
• 48:29
  He made this sick belt for her,
• 48:31
  for the games.
• 48:33
  And so we like to support him.
• 48:35
  I tuned in for a little bit.
• 48:36
  I'll be honest with my daughter coming
• 48:38
  home.
• 48:38
  I didn't get a chance to sit down
• 48:39
  and watch a lot of it,
• 48:41
  but I thought they did a nice job.
• 48:42
  I thought it was a beautiful warehouse
• 48:44
  where they held it.
• 48:45
  It made like a really big,
• 48:47
  beautiful floor.
• 48:48
  it looked to be moving along pretty wet
• 48:50
  pretty evenly and on time um and i
• 48:54
  thought it was a really cool event um
• 48:56
  it's their first year i'm sure they're
• 48:58
  gonna get bigger and better um but it
• 49:01
  was a great i thought it was a
• 49:01
  great first run
• 49:05
  Yeah,
• 49:06
  I didn't get to watch too much of
• 49:07
  it because I was studying this weekend
• 49:08
  because originally John had reached out to
• 49:11
  see if I wanted to compete at it.
• 49:13
  And once I realized that that was the
• 49:16
  same weekend that I booked like my level
• 49:18
  three, I was like, oh, no, I can't.
• 49:20
  I can't do that because I need to
• 49:21
  study like all day.
• 49:22
  So I, I didn't get to watch it.
• 49:24
  I was in my study mode all weekend,
• 49:29
  but I will catch up.
• 49:30
  I saw a few stories and that was
• 49:32
  about it.
• 49:32
  It did look good.
• 49:34
  So hopefully I get to do it next
• 49:36
  year if they put it on again.
• 49:38
  Yeah.
• 49:38
  It looked great.
• 49:39
  I loved the one day aspect.
• 49:41
  Just get the workouts in.
• 49:43
  Yeah.
• 49:47
  I thought the broadcast was good.
• 49:49
  Who did it?
• 49:51
  So John and Tyler.
• 49:54
  They were funny.
• 49:57
  I thought they... And I think that's good.
• 49:59
  On a competition like this,
• 50:02
  you don't need to take it super seriously.
• 50:04
  You're there to have fun.
• 50:05
  Watkins?
• 50:07
  Yes.
• 50:08
  And then John heard... It was John Young.
• 50:12
  John Young.
• 50:13
  Okay, John and...
• 50:17
  And so these are the two pieces of
• 50:19
  feedback I would give.
• 50:21
  The floor mic was way too hot.
• 50:24
  Way.
• 50:24
  Way too hot.
• 50:26
  And you could...
• 50:27
  What do you mean by hot?
• 50:29
  It was so loud,
• 50:31
  it was hard to hear John and Tyler.
• 50:32
  Okay.
• 50:33
  Yes.
• 50:34
  In fact, Jamie could not hear them.
• 50:35
  I couldn't hear them.
• 50:37
  With their speaker setup that she had.
• 50:39
  I could hear them,
• 50:40
  but it was not what I would call
• 50:42
  an ideal mesh of sound.
• 50:46
  Um,
• 50:47
  the other piece of feedback I would give
• 50:49
  the floor announcer when,
• 50:51
  when it's teams of two,
• 50:53
  there's time to say their names.
• 50:56
  Just say who's on the team.
• 50:59
  I think that that little bit would make
• 51:02
  them feel like super special instead of
• 51:04
  just like the angry masters one bubble,
• 51:08
  you know,
• 51:08
  nobody knows who the angry masters are.
• 51:10
  It's just a name they made up going
• 51:11
  into the comp.
• 51:12
  Right.
• 51:12
  Just give the two names.
• 51:19
  um so yeah and then kenneth yeah cutting
• 51:22
  to a camera in the warm-up area while
• 51:24
  the finish of the heat was still happening
• 51:26
  yeah probably that's what i noticed quite
• 51:28
  a few times just like i i mean
• 51:31
  that's always going to be my issue i
• 51:34
  just i just don't like the camera work
• 51:36
  at any event i've come to realize that
• 51:38
  so i'm like kind of over even complaining
• 51:40
  about it but this was like i
• 51:43
  when I liked that they were getting the
• 51:45
  interviews kind of like they did at crash,
• 51:47
  but to do that at the expense of
• 51:49
  showing the finish of the race,
• 51:51
  I don't like, like, I'd rather they, the,
• 51:54
  like they'd bring someone on to talk about
• 51:56
  the event while the, while.
• 51:57
  And they're the only one done.
• 51:59
  Everyone else is out there finishing.
• 52:01
  And it's like, at least make them smaller,
• 52:04
  just have them talking in the background.
• 52:05
  Like, I don't need to see that.
• 52:06
  I'm still trying to watch the event.
• 52:07
  Yeah.
• 52:14
  Whoops.
• 52:15
  Uh, started shaky floor.
• 52:16
  Mike was loud.
• 52:17
  Thought John was going to do a Brookwells.
• 52:21
  Yeah.
• 52:21
  What does that mean?
• 52:22
  He, he went out and did the snatch,
• 52:24
  snatch off with someone else.
• 52:27
  You didn't, did you see,
• 52:27
  not see the clip?
• 52:28
  I didn't see it.
• 52:29
  Oh man.
• 52:30
  Like, like do a Brookwells as in injury.
• 52:34
  Yeah.
• 52:36
  What did he lift?
• 52:37
  Three hundred.
• 52:43
  did he power it it was a squat
• 52:46
  if if you're asking me but it was
• 52:52
  like almost a miss like his elbow was
• 52:53
  bad well yeah he did miss behind him
• 52:58
  like i thought i mean i thought he
• 52:59
  was either gonna tear his labrum or but
• 53:02
  him and the other guy both missed behind
• 53:03
  him i didn't like oh just that stuff
• 53:07
  yeah i don't like that
• 53:11
  A few times,
• 53:12
  John was pointing to them to put the
• 53:14
  camera on the field.
• 53:16
  Yeah, I did hear him say that.
• 53:18
  He's like, yeah, get this or whatever.
• 53:20
  Sometimes he'd say like, oh,
• 53:21
  this is like a good shot.
• 53:23
  But I don't know if they were
• 53:25
  talking to this person but they like
• 53:26
  didn't actually get the shot or keep it
• 53:28
  was their first time it was there and
• 53:31
  then so i don't want to be overly
• 53:32
  critical because they made an effort to do
• 53:35
  it they and a competition like this would
• 53:37
  never be streamed like this in the past
• 53:40
  and the fact that we got to watch
• 53:41
  it and it was fun i i thought
• 53:43
  it was great agree
• 53:45
  The,
• 53:46
  I would have liked somehow to like drop
• 53:48
  like the music of all that background.
• 53:50
  There's like, there were,
• 53:51
  I was trying to watch the whole thing,
• 53:52
  but yeah,
• 53:53
  you're just listening to streaming music.
• 53:54
  Well, if Tyler and John aren't on,
• 53:56
  or when you're watching the,
• 53:58
  the age groups and intermediate,
• 54:01
  it just got,
• 54:01
  I had to turn it way down.
• 54:02
  Cause again, that floor mic was hot.
• 54:05
  So CrossFit,
• 54:06
  I believe it was someone that John heard
• 54:08
  knows was the button pusher and the person
• 54:11
  who set up the equipment.
• 54:13
  because the only reason I say that is
• 54:14
  because I heard a not heard.
• 54:20
  I heard that, um,
• 54:21
  he called Matt Sousa to walk through some
• 54:24
  pieces and the guy was using terminology
• 54:27
  that told Sousa he was going to be
• 54:29
  fine, but it's still the first time.
• 54:31
  Like it's, you'll get better.
• 54:33
  Yeah.
• 54:35
  Yes.
• 54:38
  It was a gym rep.
• 54:39
  Probably not a comp rep.
• 54:40
  A hundred percent.
• 54:41
  Not a comp rep.
• 54:42
  Uh,
• 54:44
  Yeah,
• 54:44
  he was he stepped fifteen feet out of
• 54:47
  the box.
• 54:48
  You would have gotten called on that all
• 54:50
  day,
• 54:50
  but definitely counts in the gym for sure.
• 54:54
  All right.
• 54:56
  Last pencil pen or Sharpie for the night.
• 55:02
  Turkey.
• 55:02
  Well,
• 55:04
  are we going to do this one first
• 55:05
  and then yours?
• 55:07
  No.
• 55:07
  Well, no, let's hear it.
• 55:12
  since you guys are talking about a family
• 55:13
  show, I'll get us off track.
• 55:14
  Cause this is not super appropriate,
• 55:17
  but to get to talking about Thanksgiving.
• 55:21
  Just to preface this,
• 55:23
  Jamie asked to direct a segment.
• 55:26
  I almost lost my shit when it happened
• 55:28
  to say it today, but she goes,
• 55:30
  I'm in there.
• 55:30
  I'm fiddling around.
• 55:31
  I'm trying to figure out how to make
• 55:32
  it work.
• 55:33
  So Jamie is directing this piece.
• 55:36
  She gets kudos for this.
• 55:39
  I'm nervous for what's happening.
• 55:41
  Just prepare yourselves to just listen
• 55:45
  along.
• 55:46
  All right.
• 55:46
  Jamming with Jamie.
• 55:47
  I like that.
• 55:50
  And this is going off the Thanksgiving
• 55:51
  theme because we're going to talk about
• 55:52
  that now.
• 55:55
  All right.
• 55:55
  Here we go.
• 55:56
  If you've seen this woman.
• 56:00
  No matter what stuffing you make,
• 56:02
  enjoy it.
• 56:03
  Do your stuffing.
• 56:04
  Enjoy your Thanksgiving.
• 56:06
  All right, here it is, starting.
• 56:08
  Also, there is one thing.
• 56:10
  My children, like their stuffing,
• 56:12
  they called it out of the butt.
• 56:15
  I put it in a bowl.
• 56:16
  My husband insisted that he have some
• 56:19
  stuffing in the butt.
• 56:21
  So I had two bowls on the table.
• 56:25
  One was in the butt and out of
• 56:26
  the butt.
• 56:27
  Now,
• 56:27
  none of them would have known one way
• 56:29
  or the other,
• 56:29
  and I just told them whatever I wanted
• 56:31
  to tell them,
• 56:31
  because they didn't have any sense.
• 56:34
  Out of the butt.
• 56:35
  So I don't know if your family wants
• 56:37
  out of the butt stuffing or in the
• 56:39
  butt.
• 56:40
  In the butt,
• 56:41
  you stuff it up there and cook it
• 56:43
  for a while.
• 56:43
  You cook it with the turkey?
• 56:45
  Yes.
• 56:46
  Okay.
• 56:46
  So daddy liked it in the butt.
• 56:49
  That is how his mother served him for
• 56:53
  many years ago,
• 56:54
  and he wanted it in the butt.
• 56:55
  So we had two bowls of dressing,
• 56:58
  out of the butt and in the butt.
• 57:00
  I liked it in the butt.
• 57:02
  No, I liked it out of the butt.
• 57:04
  All you kids were out of the butt.
• 57:05
  Okay.
• 57:06
  So that,
• 57:07
  and I would just kind of roll my
• 57:09
  eyes and wish that I could go back
• 57:11
  in my room and go to sleep.
• 57:13
  No matter what stuffing you make,
• 57:14
  enjoy it, do your stuff.
• 57:18
  You're welcome.
• 57:21
  CrossFit says in the butt pen, pencil,
• 57:23
  or Sharpie.
• 57:26
  I was trying to figure out a way.
• 57:28
  I was trying to text Scott.
• 57:29
  I was like,
• 57:29
  we got to do a little segment on
• 57:31
  what we're doing.
• 57:34
  So I actually, I am,
• 57:37
  I am like the dad.
• 57:40
  I am.
• 57:40
  I like my stuffing to be cooked inside
• 57:43
  the Turkey.
• 57:44
  Yeah, I do too.
• 57:47
  Yeah.
• 57:47
  Then the juice from the Turkey gets into
• 57:49
  the stuffing or the dressing,
• 57:51
  whatever you call it.
• 57:52
  And it tastes way better than stuffing
• 57:55
  made outside.
• 57:56
  Yeah.
• 57:58
  Yeah.
• 58:00
  I agree.
• 58:00
  Just to pull that,
• 58:01
  pull that back to our family friendly
• 58:03
  show.
• 58:06
  welcome i got a kick out of it
• 58:07
  i wanted to share it with the world
• 58:09
  so there was a question here is it
• 58:13
  dressing or stuffing right stuffing
• 58:18
  stuffing stuffing if you live in the south
• 58:22
  it's dressing when i lived in florida
• 58:25
  everybody called it dressing okay well
• 58:28
  we're all northerners that makes sense
• 58:33
  Don't be lame, Scott.
• 58:34
  Say it proper.
• 58:35
  I like it in the butt.
• 58:36
  There it is.
• 58:37
  Clip it.
• 58:42
  I've never really liked stuffing in
• 58:46
  general.
• 58:47
  My family loves it.
• 58:48
  My family loves it.
• 58:51
  I just wanted the turkey as it and
• 58:53
  the other stuff.
• 58:57
  Nicole says stuffing is in the butt.
• 59:00
  Dressing is out of the butt.
• 59:02
  I just love how that woman was just
• 59:05
  telling it like this.
• 59:06
  She had no idea that she was being
• 59:08
  hilarious and the daughter's just feeding
• 59:10
  into it.
• 59:13
  We got a lot of stuffings.
• 59:14
  Um,
• 59:16
  so the pencil pen or Sharpie with this,
• 59:20
  uh,
• 59:21
  your Canadian is showing I'd prefer my
• 59:23
  gravy on cheese fries.
• 59:25
  I just think stuffing is overrated.
• 59:27
  Like people are a little crazy about it,
• 59:29
  but I'm like, yeah,
• 59:30
  that's my favorite part of the meal.
• 59:34
  juicy dark meat of the turkey so all
• 59:38
  right let's get to that pencil pen or
• 59:41
  sharpie turkey is the only acceptable
• 59:43
  thanksgiving day meal pencil i mean i'll
• 59:50
  take anything but i'll take pen uh pencil
• 59:55
  i hate you
• 59:56
  so i don't like turkey either i like
• 59:58
  the stuffing but i like i don't eat
• 1:00:00
  i always have a ham like everyone has
• 1:00:03
  to cater i do both you do yeah
• 1:00:07
  i mean there's always a turkey at our
• 1:00:09
  family thanksgiving but i don't eat it i
• 1:00:10
  always have ham yeah we have we have
• 1:00:12
  both that we'll do but turkey like my
• 1:00:14
  mom's and dad's turkey is so good it's
• 1:00:17
  so juicy so yeah
• 1:00:22
  I like smoked turkey,
• 1:00:24
  but that never happens at Thanksgiving.
• 1:00:27
  It's the dry ass turkey in the oven
• 1:00:29
  that isn't basted enough.
• 1:00:31
  And it's just awful.
• 1:00:33
  I need my mom to come and make
• 1:00:34
  it and my dad.
• 1:00:36
  My mother-in-law,
• 1:00:38
  like literally a whole glass of water to
• 1:00:40
  get like a half a slice in.
• 1:00:44
  It's like the Christmas vacation.
• 1:00:46
  Just chawing.
• 1:00:48
  It's got to be hard.
• 1:00:50
  Again, I don't do the turkey,
• 1:00:52
  so I wouldn't know,
• 1:00:52
  but it's got to be hard to coordinate
• 1:00:55
  the meat with all the sides.
• 1:00:57
  I understand why it gets dry.
• 1:01:00
  Jeremy, I knew I loved you.
• 1:01:02
  Latimer ham is a must-have.
• 1:01:03
  We have ham at every single Thanksgiving.
• 1:01:09
  Is fried turkey worth the risk?
• 1:01:13
  I don't know.
• 1:01:14
  I haven't had it.
• 1:01:15
  It is really good.
• 1:01:17
  Is it?
• 1:01:19
  I just can't eat that stuff anymore.
• 1:01:20
  Like anything that greasy just does not go
• 1:01:22
  well with me.
• 1:01:23
  Yeah.
• 1:01:25
  But back in the mid-nineties when I was
• 1:01:28
  in Florida,
• 1:01:29
  everybody had a fish cooker outside and
• 1:01:31
  that's where they would cook their turkey.
• 1:01:36
  So they did it outside so it wouldn't
• 1:01:37
  burn down the house.
• 1:01:41
  Ken Walters,
• 1:01:42
  we have both turkey and ham for three
• 1:01:45
  meats.
• 1:01:46
  I don't know what sarmas are.
• 1:01:47
  I need to look that up.
• 1:01:48
  Sarmas?
• 1:01:53
  I have no idea.
• 1:01:53
  Kenneth says he thinks it must mean sarms.
• 1:01:55
  Oh, okay.
• 1:01:58
  Turkey.
• 1:01:59
  Good turkey.
• 1:02:02
  It looks good.
• 1:02:04
  It's juicy.
• 1:02:06
  That's all I know.
• 1:02:08
  People always say that and I eat it.
• 1:02:10
  I'm like, no.
• 1:02:16
  It's not.
• 1:02:16
  I think my whole plate is like meat
• 1:02:18
  and then a little bit of mashed potatoes
• 1:02:22
  and like this sauce.
• 1:02:22
  And then you do like a green bean
• 1:02:25
  casserole or corn.
• 1:02:27
  There's like different veggies.
• 1:02:29
  I'll put a little bit.
• 1:02:30
  I'm not like,
• 1:02:31
  I'm not a huge veggie person.
• 1:02:33
  Really?
• 1:02:33
  I don't mind it, but yeah,
• 1:02:34
  I love it.
• 1:02:35
  Yeah.
• 1:02:39
  I, I like chicken.
• 1:02:40
  I'd rather have a chicken.
• 1:02:42
  Yeah,
• 1:02:43
  I would probably rather have chicken too.
• 1:02:45
  But ham is where it's at for me.
• 1:02:47
  That's what I got to have.
• 1:02:50
  I like fluffy ham.
• 1:02:51
  So like when it gets grounded.
• 1:02:53
  Once after it's been cooked and then a
• 1:02:56
  little bit of like maple syrup and then
• 1:02:58
  you like ground it and it's like a
• 1:02:59
  little fluffy and then I start putting it
• 1:03:00
  in my eggs for like a ham and
• 1:03:02
  cheese omelet.
• 1:03:03
  Oh, so good.
• 1:03:04
  And you call it fluffy ham?
• 1:03:06
  I call it fluffy ham, yeah.
• 1:03:07
  Okay.
• 1:03:07
  Okay.
• 1:03:12
  CrossFit makes a great point.
• 1:03:14
  Compared to other meats, bad turkey sucks.
• 1:03:17
  Bad steak or ham is a higher floor.
• 1:03:20
  I'll give you that.
• 1:03:24
  Fluffy ham, WTF.
• 1:03:28
  I don't know how to explain it,
• 1:03:31
  but yeah,
• 1:03:31
  it's like grounded after it's been cooked.
• 1:03:36
  If anyone described me ham as fluffy,
• 1:03:38
  I'm out.
• 1:03:39
  I describe myself as fluffy, but...
• 1:03:42
  clock I figured most people would say ham
• 1:03:44
  is for Christmas which we always have it
• 1:03:47
  at Christmas too but well not always I
• 1:03:49
  don't know we do we do really random
• 1:03:51
  stuff for Christmas I feel like for me
• 1:03:57
  lately it's just been my mom and I
• 1:03:58
  for Christmas so we just we just grill
• 1:04:00
  steaks
• 1:04:03
  We've done a roast the last few.
• 1:04:05
  I did a big lasagna one year.
• 1:04:08
  We go all over the board with Christmas,
• 1:04:10
  and it kind of depends.
• 1:04:11
  We don't always celebrate on Christmas
• 1:04:12
  Day.
• 1:04:14
  So I feel like Thanksgiving is more about
• 1:04:19
  the food for us.
• 1:04:22
  Ken,
• 1:04:22
  I've maybe had one or two good turkeys
• 1:04:25
  in my life.
• 1:04:26
  And, yeah.
• 1:04:29
  Yeah.
• 1:04:30
  And there's reasons,
• 1:04:30
  but I don't want to get into all
• 1:04:31
  because I really don't care,
• 1:04:32
  but I just don't eat it.
• 1:04:34
  That's fine.
• 1:04:35
  Right.
• 1:04:38
  So with that,
• 1:04:41
  let's finish up tonight's show.
• 1:04:44
  I know we're way ahead of time and
• 1:04:46
  that's cool.
• 1:04:47
  It's a holiday week.
• 1:04:49
  So what are you thankful for?
• 1:04:55
  what am I thankful for?
• 1:04:56
  I thought we had to relate this to
• 1:04:57
  cross.
• 1:04:58
  What am I thankful of?
• 1:04:59
  Yeah.
• 1:04:59
  It's about CrossFit this year.
• 1:05:03
  Um, I mean, I'm thankful that like,
• 1:05:09
  for me,
• 1:05:10
  I feel like CrossFit has given me a
• 1:05:11
  bit of a purpose,
• 1:05:12
  like owning the gym and just seeing
• 1:05:16
  people's lives change for the better.
• 1:05:19
  Um, and helping keep my own sanity.
• 1:05:24
  Um,
• 1:05:26
  That's what I'm thankful for.
• 1:05:28
  Carolyn.
• 1:05:31
  Uh, thankful for my health,
• 1:05:33
  thankful to have found CrossFit in and
• 1:05:39
  found my, my people in life, you know,
• 1:05:42

• 1:05:43
  Um,
• 1:05:44
  I get to travel and meet a ton
• 1:05:45
  of great people at competitions.
• 1:05:48
  Uh, so just, just, you know,
• 1:05:50
  that those people that you meet within the
• 1:05:51
  CrossFit and then to share my knowledge
• 1:05:55
  with young kids at school.
• 1:05:59
  Well,
• 1:06:00
  I have a couple of things I'm thankful
• 1:06:01
  for.
• 1:06:01
  And one is the glitter band experience at
• 1:06:04
  the CrossFit Games and the people who went
• 1:06:07
  to bat for me.
• 1:06:08
  And they've never wanted to be mentioned.
• 1:06:11
  I'm not going to mention them,
• 1:06:12
  but they know who they are.
• 1:06:13
  And I'm super thankful for them.
• 1:06:15
  um and then our crew holly put so

  Holly does do a great job.
• 1:07:37
  Yes, thank you.
• 1:07:38
  There we go.
• 1:07:39
  And thank you to Thirdsy being our new
• 1:07:42
  sponsor, too.
• 1:07:44
  You read my mind.
• 1:07:45
  Did I?
• 1:07:46
  You did.
• 1:07:48
  Thirdsy.
• 1:07:49
  It has made me have good night's sleep
• 1:07:52
  for the first time in years.
• 1:07:55
  I'm so thankful for them.
• 1:07:56
  I'm thankful for the new flavor,
• 1:07:57
  the salted caramel chocolate.
• 1:08:01
  You can use the code Jazzy to get
• 1:08:06
  Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy takes you
• 1:08:10
  right to the site to order that.
• 1:08:12
  It has grass-fed beef collagen in it for
• 1:08:15
  recovery.
• 1:08:16
  It also does not have melatonin,
• 1:08:18
  so that makes it so you're not groggy
• 1:08:20
  in the morning.
• 1:08:21
  It is so good.
• 1:08:23
  And I drink it as I'm editing up
• 1:08:26
  the end of the show every night on
• 1:08:28
  Sunday and getting ready for bed,
• 1:08:30
  and I can't thank them enough.
• 1:08:31
  This week,
• 1:08:32
  I'm going to announce the Black Friday
• 1:08:33
  deal.
• 1:08:34
  Special just for you guys.
• 1:08:36
  It's going to be hot.
• 1:08:38
  So tune in this week for that.
• 1:08:41
  Larry Young sipping on salted caramel
• 1:08:44
  chocolate right now.
• 1:08:45
  I still done it at the start of
• 1:08:46
  the show.
• 1:08:46
  In my paper drawer.
• 1:08:51
  Didn't quite mix.
• 1:08:52
  And CrossFat is thankful for his fluffy
• 1:08:54
  ham.
• 1:08:55
  Guys, it's grounded ham cooked,
• 1:08:57
  but I call it fluffy ham because it's
• 1:08:59
  just like, it's fluffy.
• 1:09:02
  I tell you,
• 1:09:02
  the salted chocolate caramel is amazing.
• 1:09:07
  Yeah, it's good.
• 1:09:09
  Do you do it hot or cold?
• 1:09:11
  Yeah.
• 1:09:12
  I have a little thermos.
• 1:09:17
  I've done mine cold.
• 1:09:18
  I haven't tried it hot.
• 1:09:19
  I've done it cold all week.
• 1:09:20
  I haven't had it cold.
• 1:09:24
  Are you trying to do something?
• 1:09:25
  Are we not supposed to talk?
• 1:09:27
  I thought you said pause.
• 1:09:28
  I've only done it hot.
• 1:09:31
  I boil a little kettle of water and
• 1:09:32
  put it in.
• 1:09:33
  That just warms me up right before I
• 1:09:35
  go to bed.
• 1:09:37
  It's perfect.
• 1:09:41
  Taylor Fit knows that ham.
• 1:09:43
  I'll get my mom to take a picture
• 1:09:45
  of the ham and then maybe we'll put
• 1:09:47
  it on the show next week.
• 1:09:48
  I don't know what it's called.
• 1:09:49
  I call it fluffy ham.
• 1:09:55
  I think we're getting lost in my
• 1:09:57
  French translation, maybe.
• 1:10:02
  But it's good.
• 1:10:04
  Did your roadcaster go out again?
• 1:10:05
  What happened?
• 1:10:06
  Oh, my gosh.
• 1:10:09
  Not thankful for that.
• 1:10:11
  Yeah, not thankful for that.
• 1:10:13
  That sucks.
• 1:10:14
  That's like three weeks in a row.
• 1:10:16
  Yeah, that's ridiculous.
• 1:10:19
  Technology, man.
• 1:10:22
  Canadian bacon.
• 1:10:25
  Yeah, the weird bacon.
• 1:10:27
  It's good.
• 1:10:29
  We also do the regular bacon.
• 1:10:31
  We don't only do the Canadian one.
• 1:10:34
  Because people think that we only do that
• 1:10:35
  one.
• 1:10:35
  I'm like, guys, we have regular bacon too.
• 1:10:41
  We have two little quick hit news items
• 1:10:43
  for the week.
• 1:10:44
  And that is Sam Cornway is going to
• 1:10:47
  make a run in twenty twenty six.
• 1:10:49
  Interesting.
• 1:10:51
  My question to you,
• 1:10:52
  and I didn't know how to phrase this
• 1:10:53
  in the rundown,
• 1:10:54
  is that
• 1:10:56
  when you've had a year off and your
• 1:10:57
  body feels good,
• 1:10:59
  does that make you more inclined to want
• 1:11:01
  to make another run because you forget all
• 1:11:05
  you went through to,
• 1:11:06
  to go make that run before?
• 1:11:08
  Or do you think that like, just,
• 1:11:11
  there's just been a priority shift and now
• 1:11:12
  he wants to come back.
• 1:11:16
  I think it's probably a little too bold,
• 1:11:18
  uh,
• 1:11:19
  kind of feeling good and you feel like
• 1:11:21
  you have a shot at it for one.
• 1:11:23
  Um, but
• 1:11:27
  I think when people retire,
• 1:11:28
  they forget how consuming this sport is
• 1:11:32
  and how, like,
• 1:11:37
  I mean, I don't know.
• 1:11:38
  I'm assuming a lot of people are like
• 1:11:39
  me because we're crazy.
• 1:11:41
  Like if you want to do this competitively
• 1:11:42
  and not doing it, it's like rich,
• 1:11:45
  like he's not going to not do this.
• 1:11:48
  I think they sure they might take some
• 1:11:50
  time off and get some quality time with
• 1:11:52
  their family and stuff,
• 1:11:53
  but they you can't stay sane.
• 1:11:55
  Like that's just not how my mind like
• 1:11:59
  works.
• 1:11:59
  Like I have to I have to get
• 1:12:01
  a sweat on to be sane.
• 1:12:02
  And I think it just draws these people
• 1:12:04
  back in.
• 1:12:06
  And then it's like, yeah,
• 1:12:07
  I think this sport is really hard to
• 1:12:09
  retire from, right?
• 1:12:11
  And in order to kind of keep yourself
• 1:12:13
  accountable in training,
• 1:12:15
  sometimes it's like you need goals.
• 1:12:18
  You need little competitions.
• 1:12:19
  You need something to keep you going.
• 1:12:22
  So that's one of the reasons I like
• 1:12:24
  competing a lot or just finding little
• 1:12:26
  stuff because it just keeps me motivated
• 1:12:29
  for the next thing.
• 1:12:29
  It's like, okay,
• 1:12:30
  this is what I'm training for now.
• 1:12:31
  Now it's this.
• 1:12:33
  Because it is hard to
• 1:12:37
  Just train to train.
• 1:12:40
  Which was the beauty part of CrossFit,
• 1:12:41
  right?
• 1:12:41
  It was like you...
• 1:12:43
  We built it into a sport and made
• 1:12:45
  it competitive.
• 1:12:48
  CrossFit asks,
• 1:12:49
  isn't he always hurt or sick?
• 1:12:51
  Well,
• 1:12:52
  that's why I asked the question because...
• 1:12:55
  the only other sport I can relate this
• 1:12:56
  to is like how many times have boxers
• 1:12:58
  retired and come back.
• 1:13:01
  And I think like the more you distance
• 1:13:02
  yourself from being punched in the face,
• 1:13:04
  you forget how hard,
• 1:13:05
  how horrible it is to be punched in
• 1:13:07
  the face.
• 1:13:08
  And then you,
• 1:13:09
  you train and you get back to it
• 1:13:10
  and you realize,
• 1:13:11
  I don't want to be punched in the
• 1:13:12
  face and more than you retire again.
• 1:13:13
  Yeah.
• 1:13:16
  I think people get lost too.
• 1:13:18
  Like they're just lost in their like
• 1:13:20
  identity.
• 1:13:20
  Cause that's all they'd know.
• 1:13:21
  And if,
• 1:13:22
  let's say if they don't have another job,
• 1:13:24
  that's kind of, um,
• 1:13:28
  not like that they don't like or what,
• 1:13:29
  you know?
• 1:13:31
  And like,
• 1:13:31
  if that was their job for their,
• 1:13:32
  like for so many years, like they,
• 1:13:33
  they missed that for their job.
• 1:13:35
  Like,
• 1:13:35
  I just think a lot of athletes or
• 1:13:36
  people just get lost.
• 1:13:38
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:13:42
  The last bit of news is that Annie
• 1:13:44
  and Katrin, David's daughter,
• 1:13:46
  Annie Thor's daughter, Katrin,
• 1:13:47
  David's daughter have come out with a new
• 1:13:50
  drink called a daughter.
• 1:13:57
  There's a lot around this.
• 1:14:00
  Is it water?
• 1:14:00
  Is it like the carbonated water or is
• 1:14:03
  it like those like,
• 1:14:05
  so it's flavored and it, and it,
• 1:14:07
  I do believe it's carbonated.
• 1:14:10
  but it has Marine collagen in it.
• 1:14:14
  Yeah.
• 1:14:14
  Is it like a fit aid type?
• 1:14:15
  I think it's like a fit aid.
• 1:14:16
  If I had to guess cow,
• 1:14:19
  cow bell or whatever, like one of those.
• 1:14:21
  And I looked up Marine collagen,
• 1:14:25
  which is ground up fishbone scales and
• 1:14:29
  other parts of the fish that you don't
• 1:14:31
  generally eat.
• 1:14:34
  None of that sounds like I would be
• 1:14:36
  appetizing in my drink.
• 1:14:41
  I mean, it's like jello.
• 1:14:43
  Gelatin.
• 1:14:45
  But there's a... Okay.
• 1:14:51
  Okay.
• 1:14:55
  Yeah, to be... Yes.
• 1:14:58
  Yeah, but I mix that with flavors.
• 1:15:01
  There's this flavored...
• 1:15:04
  I don't think it's...
• 1:15:04
  I guess all I'm picturing is like those...
• 1:15:07
  like flavored waters that had like,
• 1:15:09
  it drove past a mango one time.
• 1:15:11
  So now we can call it mango.
• 1:15:12
  It's just got the essence.
• 1:15:17
  Yeah.
• 1:15:19
  Yeah.
• 1:15:23
  Yeah.
• 1:15:24
  I don't know.
• 1:15:25
  I don't know.
• 1:15:25
  I, the ad was strange.
• 1:15:28
  The, I, it was an interesting choice.
• 1:15:35
  It's almost like they picked someone like,
• 1:15:37
  completely inconspicuous so like it wasn't
• 1:15:40
  like but it was it was just it
• 1:15:43
  was weird she seemed like scared almost
• 1:15:47
  like she was gonna cry while she was
• 1:15:48
  talking i don't know when i was watching
• 1:15:49
  i was like this ad is weird this
• 1:15:52
  girl seems weird i think what what i've
• 1:15:56
  i wondered out loud is that
• 1:16:01
  the influencer they picked was not them.
• 1:16:03
  If you're selling daughter water,
• 1:16:05
  you would think that you want it to
• 1:16:07
  be Annie and catch and selling it.
• 1:16:10
  But then it has this fish stuff in
• 1:16:11
  it.
• 1:16:12
  And I know when you're pregnant or
• 1:16:13
  nursing,
• 1:16:14
  you're not supposed to be eating fish
• 1:16:15
  because of the mercury levels.
• 1:16:17
  And I'm wondering if they can't eat,
• 1:16:19
  they can't drink their own water because
• 1:16:20
  they're both nursing or pregnant.
• 1:16:23
  I don't know if Annie's had her latest
• 1:16:25
  kid or whatever, but it just seems like,
• 1:16:30
  I wonder if they can't drink their own
• 1:16:32
  water because they're nursing.
• 1:16:34
  Yeah.
• 1:16:38
  There's other daughters.
• 1:16:39
  There's other daughters in the space that
• 1:16:41
  you could have asked to do it.
• 1:16:42
  That Bjorn's daughter.
• 1:16:45
  One of these newer, younger... Yeah.
• 1:16:49
  Get someone else to... I don't know.
• 1:16:53
  It's like they wanted somebody with no...
• 1:16:58
  Maybe that girl was a daughter.
• 1:17:00
  Maybe she was.
• 1:17:01
  I don't know.
• 1:17:02
  Did you know her?
• 1:17:10
  I don't know.
• 1:17:11
  It was weird.
• 1:17:11
  It was a weird ad, in my opinion.
• 1:17:14
  We'll see how it does.
• 1:17:15
  It's not even out for purchase yet, right?
• 1:17:19
  It's coming soon.
• 1:17:20
  No, coming in the next few days.
• 1:17:22
  Yeah.
• 1:17:26
  Yeah.
• 1:17:28

• 1:17:31

• 1:17:36

• 1:17:38
