• 2:20
  Jamie, you were on a boat all weekend.
• 2:23
  I was.
• 2:24
  How was that?
• 2:27
  I mean,
• 2:28
  can you complain when you're on a boat?
• 2:29
  No.
• 2:30
  No.
• 2:32
  You're still in Lake Michigan.
• 2:34
  I get seasick.
• 2:36
  Well, that's fair.
• 2:38
  And actually,
• 2:40
  Lake Michigan did get a little choppy.
• 2:42
  We were out there.
• 2:44
  on the fourth and my niece
• 2:47
  got a little bit sick out there.
• 2:49
  So, and she's on that boat all,
• 2:52
  all the time.
• 2:53
  It just, it, it did get pretty choppy, but,
• 2:57
  um,
• 2:57
  Yeah,
• 2:58
  I've been a Lake Erie guy my whole life.
• 3:00
  I grew up in northwestern
• 3:01
  Pennsylvania and then moved
• 3:03
  to Ohio later in life.
• 3:04
  And so it's always been Lake Erie for me.
• 3:08
  And then last year I came up
• 3:09
  to you and went to Lake Michigan.
• 3:12
  And you guys have us beat
• 3:13
  ten ways to Sunday on the lakes.
• 3:17
  I...
• 3:18
  Julie and I were both
• 3:19
  lamenting that we know
• 3:20
  Fresh Coast is coming up
• 3:21
  this weekend with the big
• 3:23
  CrossFit event out on the beach.
• 3:25
  That's where we were at last year.
• 3:27
  It's an amazing event in a
• 3:30
  most beautiful beach on Lake Michigan.
• 3:34
  Just really, really a cool place.
• 3:36
  And, you know,
• 3:37
  the Mayhem crews show up and compete,
• 3:40
  which is kind of fun too.
• 3:41
  Yeah.
• 3:44
  Well, look at that.
• 3:45
  Grant, when I'm depressed,
• 3:46
  the show makes me feel happy.
• 3:48
  well thanks um uh ken
• 3:54
  walters lake superior north
• 3:56
  of duluth to canada was is
• 3:58
  my great lakes jam yeah and
• 4:02
  I and I know uh carolyn's
• 4:04
  gonna go with the canadian
• 4:05
  lake superior as well well
• 4:08
  I lived in sarangin I had lake huron
• 4:13
  That one's nice.
• 4:14
  It's just cold.
• 4:16
  Lake Michigan was totally
• 4:18
  tolerable this weekend.
• 4:20
  I was surprised.
• 4:23
  In Toronto, it's like Ontario,
• 4:24
  but that one can be nasty
• 4:26
  to swim in and do things sometimes.
• 4:29
  Always got to check the
• 4:30
  water E. coli levels if
• 4:31
  it's healthy enough to go.
• 4:33
  That's been a pretty big
• 4:34
  thing this summer.
• 4:38
  A lot of beaches have been closed.
• 4:41
  You know,
• 4:41
  we haven't had to talk about that
• 4:43
  at the CrossFit Games in a
• 4:44
  couple of years with the E. coli levels.
• 4:47
  And so kind of out of sight
• 4:50
  and out of mind.
• 4:55
  Yeah.
• 4:57
  Anything else here in the comments?
• 5:00
  Kenneth DeLapp,
• 5:01
  a member for thirteen months.
• 5:03
  Woo.
• 5:04
  Yo.
• 5:05
  Thirteen month anniversary.
• 5:07
  Thank you so much, Kenneth.
• 5:08
  You are one of the best.
• 5:12
  So before we get into the big news,
• 5:14
  just have one more funny
• 5:16
  happy feet moment for all
• 5:17
  the people saying they come
• 5:18
  here for the happy.
• 5:19
  If you didn't see it today,
• 5:21
  Rich Froning threw out the
• 5:23
  first pitch at the Tigers game.
• 5:26
  I totally missed that.
• 5:28
  And what's crazy is, like,
• 5:31
  if you don't follow baseball...
• 5:34
  when you're throwing out the first pitch,
• 5:35
  you are on an elevation.
• 5:37
  Like I was a pitcher in high school.
• 5:39
  You are elevated up above
• 5:42
  and it makes it hard for
• 5:43
  that first pitch if you go
• 5:45
  up on top of the mound.
• 5:46
  Rich did that.
• 5:50
  Well,
• 5:50
  most people that throw the first
• 5:52
  pitch don't even go from the mound.
• 5:55
  They don't want to risk
• 5:57
  throwing from there.
• 5:57
  So they're always way in and
• 6:00
  still miss the plate.
• 6:01
  So Rich did it the correct
• 6:03
  way and nailed it.
• 6:05
  But just to make us happy,
• 6:07
  before I show Rich's first pitch,
• 6:10
  I pulled up the worst first
• 6:11
  pitch of all time.
• 6:14
  Okay.
• 6:14
  Are you guys ready?
• 6:15
  Yes.
• 6:17
  So at a New York Mets game,
• 6:20
  fifty cent fifty cent
• 6:22
  throughout the first pitch
• 6:24
  it is the worst first pitch
• 6:25
  of all time and so let's
• 6:27
  start with that and his
• 6:29
  first pitch was not great
• 6:32
  oh a bit outside what can
• 6:35
  you say just a bit outside
• 6:42
  worst first pitch in
• 6:43
  history that's pretty bad
• 6:47
  So now that we've seen what
• 6:49
  Fitty Sink can do, let's see.
• 6:51
  Thank God they didn't ask
• 6:52
  Jason Kalipa to throw out
• 6:53
  the first pitch.
• 6:56
  And then there's like Simone
• 6:56
  Biles that does her big triple.
• 7:00
  I don't even know what kind
• 7:01
  of flip she did in spinny
• 7:02
  and then threw it.
• 7:06
  Lots of different styles of throws.
• 7:09
  Here is Rich.
• 7:10
  I'm going to try to blow it
• 7:11
  up a little bit.
• 7:11
  It's actually someone
• 7:12
  filming the Jumbotron
• 7:14
  because they were at an
• 7:15
  angle where you couldn't really see it.
• 7:17
  so I'm trying to get this as
• 7:19
  big as I can and we'll
• 7:21
  start her now not too bad
• 7:31
  maybe a tad bit inside if
• 7:32
  you're throwing to a
• 7:33
  right-handed hitter but
• 7:35
  pretty doggone close so pretty awesome
• 7:44
  What an honor to get to
• 7:46
  throw out the first pitch of the game.
• 7:48
  Yeah.
• 7:49
  And to do that.
• 7:50
  And that's his favorite team, right?
• 7:51
  He grew up loving the Tigers,
• 7:54
  so that's hard enough to do.
• 8:00
  Andrew Sten says,
• 8:02
  remember Rich also played baseball,
• 8:04
  played a bit of college too.
• 8:05
  He did.
• 8:06
  He did.
• 8:07
  But I'm telling you,
• 8:08
  he played like shortstop.
• 8:09
  Yeah.
• 8:10
  Yeah.
• 8:11
  When you're throwing from
• 8:12
  that mound and you're
• 8:13
  elevated like nine feet up off the ground,
• 8:16
  off the turf, it is a different thing.
• 8:19
  It is a different animal.
• 8:21
  And you really have to kind of aim low.
• 8:27
  Tyler Watkins says,
• 8:31
  Taylor Luan absolutely
• 8:33
  shanked it a couple weeks ago.
• 8:34
  I did see that one too.
• 8:36
  But for me,
• 8:36
  Fittysent is all-time worst of
• 8:38
  everything.
• 8:43
  Meredith Jones joins the channel.
• 8:45
  Thank you so much, Meredith.
• 8:47
  We love seeing you here
• 8:48
  every each and every week.
• 8:51
  So, so we got that out of the way.
• 8:55
  Now, the big news.
• 8:57
  And that is that this
• 8:58
  morning on Instagram.
• 9:01
  and then on the Savant podcast,
• 9:02
  and then on Barbell Spin,
• 9:05
  we got the announcement
• 9:06
  throughout the day that
• 9:07
  Alex Kazan has decided in
• 9:10
  order to be safe for her future,
• 9:14
  they felt it be best that
• 9:17
  she not pursue the CrossFit
• 9:19
  Games this year and withdraw,
• 9:21
  and she will be in
• 9:22
  attendance as a spectator,
• 9:24
  but she is not going to
• 9:26
  participate this year in
• 9:27
  the CrossFit Games.
• 9:29
  If you've been following
• 9:30
  along when we were at
• 9:34
  NorCal and there was a wild,
• 9:35
  wacky ending and all that stuff.
• 9:38
  And then the car accident happened.
• 9:40
  Thank God her and Jake are
• 9:41
  still alive and doing well.
• 9:44
  But there was a question as
• 9:45
  to whether or not Carolyn
• 9:48
  would be the backfill for
• 9:50
  Alex after that car accident.
• 9:54
  Carolyn did inform us on the
• 9:56
  show that she got a call from CrossFit.
• 9:59
  She had talked to Alex,
• 10:01
  and then it was a waiting game to see.
• 10:03
  They had put a deadline in place.
• 10:06
  Carolyn did not divulge any
• 10:07
  of the details of that conversation,
• 10:09
  as that was Alex's story to tell.
• 10:15
  But it's been,
• 10:16
  we have not talked since this morning.
• 10:20
  Any new news today, Carolyn?
• 10:23
  I haven't received anything
• 10:24
  from CrossFit yet,
• 10:25
  so I haven't booked anything or...
• 10:29
  To me,
• 10:29
  like it won't be official until I
• 10:31
  get an actual invite.
• 10:33
  But Alex,
• 10:34
  Alex has been extremely nice and
• 10:38
  she's messaged me here and
• 10:39
  there throughout the
• 10:39
  process to kind of keep me
• 10:41
  informed on how she's doing
• 10:43
  and stuff like that.
• 10:44
  So and she didn't have to do that, too.
• 10:46
  And so I've been very
• 10:47
  appreciative of the
• 10:49
  conversations that I've had with her.
• 10:50
  And obviously, it's not the way that
• 10:54
  I imagine to get a spot to
• 10:56
  the games this year.
• 10:58
  And, you know,
• 11:00
  my heart's obviously with
• 11:02
  Alex and I know that's a
• 11:03
  difficult decision to make,
• 11:05
  but her future is so bright.
• 11:07
  And there's just looking at
• 11:08
  all the comps that she, you know,
• 11:10
  most likely have the
• 11:12
  opportunity to do within
• 11:13
  the next few months.
• 11:14
  Like there's quite a bit there.
• 11:17
  So hopefully she is well
• 11:20
  recovered and she's able to, you know,
• 11:23
  finish out her,
• 11:24
  season because she's you
• 11:26
  know she's if not the
• 11:27
  fittest after tia right now
• 11:29
  um this year yeah she even
• 11:33
  said on savann this morning
• 11:34
  that if tia wouldn't have
• 11:36
  been there this would have
• 11:37
  been a much harder decision
• 11:38
  because she would have
• 11:39
  thought she thinks she
• 11:40
  could have won the crossfit
• 11:42
  games so actually tia being
• 11:44
  there makes it easier her
• 11:46
  made it easier for her to
• 11:49
  um make this decision
• 11:52
  So I was going to ask you
• 11:54
  this question before this
• 11:55
  news broke anyway, as someone who your,
• 11:57
  your main goal is a CrossFit games.
• 12:00
  And if, and let's be fair,
• 12:04
  you had an amazing performance at NorCal.
• 12:07
  Like you missed by a nose hair.
• 12:12
  Like it was really, really close.
• 12:17
  You have the,
• 12:17
  you know that there's this
• 12:18
  opportunity that may come
• 12:20
  to you with the CrossFit games and,
• 12:23
  As important as it is,
• 12:24
  how long were you willing
• 12:25
  to hold on to that hope?
• 12:29
  I know that you work out
• 12:30
  every day and you stay fit every day,
• 12:32
  but there's got to be a hope, plan,
• 12:36
  what if.
• 12:37
  How long do you hold on to
• 12:38
  that as it moves forward?
• 12:43
  Well,
• 12:43
  I had a certain date that was given to me,
• 12:46
  so I knew that it was
• 12:47
  already until that date,
• 12:49
  which was next week at some time.
• 12:51
  So I knew there was a possibility there.
• 12:54
  But I've been in that position before,
• 12:56
  like right outside, a few times actually.
• 12:59
  And even in
• 13:02
  was one spot out I continued
• 13:03
  to train throughout the
• 13:04
  whole way just you never
• 13:06
  know if someone tested
• 13:06
  positive if someone got
• 13:08
  injured like I had the
• 13:10
  mentality that I was
• 13:11
  training for the games
• 13:12
  regardless um in and then
• 13:15
  even in the years after
• 13:16
  that where I was really
• 13:17
  close I was like oh maybe
• 13:19
  I'll something will happen um
• 13:23
  Yeah,
• 13:23
  so I knew that there was a chance
• 13:24
  until next week.
• 13:26
  But again,
• 13:27
  I had been talking to Alex a little bit.
• 13:30
  And just knowing the extent
• 13:32
  of the injury from what she had posted,
• 13:35
  I was like,
• 13:36
  there is still a strong
• 13:38
  possibility that I could get a call up.
• 13:40
  So yeah, I mean,
• 13:44
  I was already training for
• 13:45
  the Masters CrossFit Games right now.
• 13:47
  So just need to be a little
• 13:51
  bit more in shape for
• 13:56
  This CrossFit Games.
• 13:56
  So that begs the next question.
• 13:59
  You qualified as the number
• 14:00
  one seed in the Masters age group.
• 14:03
  You've now, if official,
• 14:06
  will be going to the Elite
• 14:07
  CrossFit Games.
• 14:09
  Is your plan to do both?
• 14:10
  A hundred percent.
• 14:12
  For sure.
• 14:17
  and have you ever done two
• 14:21
  big competitions like that
• 14:23
  within three weeks of each
• 14:25
  other um I mean not that
• 14:30
  big no obviously no I mean
• 14:32
  you can't get any bigger
• 14:33
  than those two um competitions but
• 14:38
  Like I've always said,
• 14:39
  like I kind of train all
• 14:41
  year round the same type of volume.
• 14:43
  I just might change, you know,
• 14:45
  during the summer,
• 14:46
  I'm not running on an assault runner.
• 14:47
  I need to run outside or I
• 14:49
  add more unique elements in
• 14:50
  the summer as it's game string.
• 14:51
  But the volume to me kind of
• 14:53
  stays the same all year round.
• 14:55
  Um, even if I do, you know,
• 14:57
  I do a lot of like online
• 14:58
  qualifiers or online things too.
• 15:01
  So I don't know how much it'll impact.
• 15:04
  Um,
• 15:04
  hopefully I'm healthy enough to do
• 15:06
  obviously the master's games as well,
• 15:09
  but yeah, the plan would be to do,
• 15:11
  to do both.
• 15:14
  Um, I understand such a bummer for Alex,
• 15:18
  but great news for Carolyn, uh,
• 15:20
  Savon podcast.
• 15:21
  Congrats, Carolyn, uh, Lana holding her,
• 15:24
  holding her breath.
• 15:26
  Meredith, no, wrong one.
• 15:28
  Larry Young, not the way you want it,
• 15:30
  but make it count for you and even her.
• 15:34
  And that's one thing I told her too,
• 15:36
  is like,
• 15:37
  I know how much of a competitor Alex is.
• 15:39
  And, you know,
• 15:41
  a lot of times people will be like, oh,
• 15:43
  you know,
• 15:43
  people are just at the games to
• 15:45
  have fun and enjoy the
• 15:46
  experience and stuff.
• 15:47
  But I also want to do the
• 15:49
  best that I can knowing that like Alex,
• 15:52
  you know,
• 15:53
  was obviously a podium contender
• 15:54
  and earned, had earned that spot.
• 15:58
  And I don't want to just show up and,
• 16:01
  you know,
• 16:03
  just be there to have fun.
• 16:04
  Like I want to be able to
• 16:06
  prove to myself that I can
• 16:07
  still compete at a very
• 16:09
  high level and do the best that I can.
• 16:15
  I already mentioned that at NorCal you,
• 16:17
  you did really, really well.
• 16:19
  I have told you privately
• 16:20
  that I think it is the best
• 16:22
  you have looked on the
• 16:23
  competition floor in years.
• 16:26
  Um,
• 16:27
  and I really thought you had a shot
• 16:28
  watching you throughout that weekend.
• 16:31
  Um,
• 16:32
  do you feel like you are in
• 16:34
  the best shape of your life
• 16:36
  and the best fitness you've
• 16:37
  been in your life?
• 16:40
  Nope.
• 16:41
  No.
• 16:43
  I think when I was twenty
• 16:44
  eight to thirty years old,
• 16:46
  twenty eighteen to thirty,
• 16:47
  even thirty one,
• 16:49
  like I'm just being honest,
• 16:50
  like I think that's I just
• 16:53
  maybe didn't have the right
• 16:53
  programming every year,
• 16:55
  but like I'm I'm as fit now,
• 16:57
  like I'm holding on to certain stuff, but
• 17:01
  When I look at just like age-wise,
• 17:05
  I feel like I've been
• 17:05
  almost the same athlete the whole time.
• 17:07
  It just depends on programming.
• 17:08
  I felt like I had the least
• 17:09
  amount of pressure at NorCal this year,
• 17:11
  maybe because I had already
• 17:12
  a spot to the CrossFit
• 17:14
  Games for the Masters Division.
• 17:16
  And I think I came in with a
• 17:17
  different mentality,
• 17:21
  less pressure on myself
• 17:22
  than maybe in the past few
• 17:22
  years where I didn't
• 17:24
  perform the way I wanted to.
• 17:27
  But I don't know if I'm...
• 17:30
  My fitness to me,
• 17:31
  like there's certain stuff
• 17:32
  or lifts that I could do
• 17:33
  when I was a little bit younger.
• 17:36
  Certain things I'm just more
• 17:37
  experienced and maybe
• 17:38
  smarter in terms of maybe
• 17:41
  game plans and stuff like that.
• 17:43
  But it's hard to know.
• 17:44
  It depends on the workouts a lot of time.
• 17:49
  So you're saying that like fitness level,
• 17:52
  you're pretty steady.
• 17:53
  There's been a little bit of decline,
• 17:56
  but it's more of a mental
• 17:57
  thing that happened this year.
• 18:00
  Yeah, I'd say so.
• 18:01
  I mean, give it like,
• 18:04
  depending on the right workouts,
• 18:05
  like there's workouts that
• 18:06
  I can be very competitive with,
• 18:10
  even with the games field.
• 18:12
  Like I know that I have some
• 18:13
  wheelhouse stuff that I can
• 18:15
  continue to do,
• 18:17
  but the field has just gone so deep.
• 18:19
  So maybe that's a hard...
• 18:22
  maybe that's where I kind of
• 18:23
  compare myself because the
• 18:24
  field is just gone so much
• 18:26
  better over the years.
• 18:27
  So to me, what I see online, I'm like, Oh,
• 18:30
  like they're, you know, X, Y,
• 18:32
  and Z on these lists.
• 18:34
  And it's hard not to compare.
• 18:37
  So I might be similar,
• 18:39
  but the field is just so
• 18:41
  good and have to me, like,
• 18:43
  it just seems like less holes.
• 18:45
  Um,
• 18:47
  So I'm not sure.
• 18:48
  Maybe I'm pretty similar.
• 18:50
  But it's been pretty cool to
• 18:53
  see the longevity of just
• 18:55
  training consistently and
• 18:58
  listening to my body and
• 19:00
  doing all of other things
• 19:01
  in my life as well than CrossFit.
• 19:05
  I'm going to read a couple of these.
• 19:06
  Congrats.
• 19:06
  And then, Jamie,
• 19:07
  do you have any questions for Carolyn?
• 19:10
  Shanna Bunt says, yes, you'll smash both.
• 19:14
  Um, Jay Birch says, congrats, Carolyn.
• 19:17
  Uh, Vicki Carolyn is a class act.
• 19:19
  One hundred percent.
• 19:21
  Jay Birch or no Tia, Danielle Church,
• 19:24
  Daniel Church Tia better
• 19:26
  hope there's no ice skating
• 19:27
  up there in Albany.
• 19:29
  Um, uh,
• 19:34
  Savant says last time Carolyn was
• 19:35
  in Albany,
• 19:36
  she was an absolute freak
• 19:37
  mentally and physically.
• 19:38
  That was twenty eight, twenty eighteen.
• 19:40
  Was that that one?
• 19:43
  But I remember someone was there.
• 19:47
  I've never been to Albany.
• 19:48
  I know that we did regionals
• 19:49
  there back in the past.
• 19:51
  But this will be my first
• 19:52
  time up there for an event.
• 19:56
  So I'm super excited about that.
• 20:02
  You said that you train the
• 20:03
  same every day.
• 20:06
  Now that it's a pretty
• 20:08
  doggone sure bet that
• 20:09
  you're going to the games...
• 20:11
  Are you going to add like
• 20:12
  some odd objects?
• 20:13
  Are you going to add some
• 20:14
  things that you wouldn't normally add?
• 20:15
  Or is that it's still just same old,
• 20:18
  same old?
• 20:20
  I naturally do that every year.
• 20:22
  So once, so volume wise, it's the same,
• 20:26
  but the things I'll put
• 20:28
  into my programming will
• 20:29
  just change throughout the year.
• 20:31
  Like I've essentially almost
• 20:32
  trained for the games the last year.
• 20:34
  since twenty eighteen.
• 20:36
  And if it wasn't for the games,
• 20:37
  it was the demo team or, you know,
• 20:40
  anything like that possible tester for,
• 20:43
  you know,
• 20:43
  things or Rogue was coming up
• 20:45
  and I want to try to qualify.
• 20:46
  So I've always, you know,
• 20:48
  done certain things to get
• 20:49
  ready for the open that I
• 20:51
  know will pop up in the open.
• 20:52
  And then I add in a certain amount,
• 20:54
  you know,
• 20:54
  different types of higher skill
• 20:56
  things that will pop up for
• 20:57
  regionals or semifinals.
• 20:59
  And then once that's done, you know,
• 21:00
  I add in certain things
• 21:02
  that normally come up
• 21:03
  more for outdoor stuff or
• 21:05
  games or more odd objects things.
• 21:06
  So that's already the way
• 21:08
  that I program naturally
• 21:09
  for myself over the years.
• 21:11
  So nothing's really changed.
• 21:12
  I've already been doing some
• 21:15
  of that stuff.
• 21:18
  Kaylee Brock, yay, Carolyn.
• 21:20
  So the big question I've
• 21:21
  heard a lot today is, all right,
• 21:24
  she's been working on her
• 21:25
  double unders and she's
• 21:26
  gotten much better.
• 21:27
  How much work have you put
• 21:29
  in on the crossover double unders?
• 21:34
  I've been doing them the past,
• 21:37
  as soon as they released
• 21:38
  them on the CrossFit website,
• 21:41
  but I've been kind of
• 21:41
  playing around with the
• 21:42
  skill the last few years,
• 21:46
  like here and there.
• 21:47
  So I have them,
• 21:48
  I just don't know what the
• 21:53
  field looks like for that
• 21:54
  movement and how many
• 21:55
  they're going to program.
• 21:58
  Yeah.
• 22:00
  I had a workout today with them.
• 22:02
  It was eight rounds for time
• 22:03
  of thirty crossover double unders,
• 22:06
  twenty cow row and ten
• 22:10
  dumbbell clean and jerks.
• 22:11
  Preparing.
• 22:12
  There you go.
• 22:17
  All right.
• 22:17
  Well, cool.
• 22:18
  Well,
• 22:19
  that hit us pretty quick this morning.
• 22:23
  Been excited to talk to you all day.
• 22:26
  And my God, if this is all true,
• 22:30
  it's going to be really fun
• 22:31
  going to Albany and cheering you on.
• 22:35
  So back on the Rich Froning
• 22:38
  first pitch thing.
• 22:40
  While that was going on,
• 22:41
  someone sent me a DM.
• 22:44
  Ken Walters sent me a DM.
• 22:46
  And guess who else has
• 22:49
  thrown out a first pitch?
• 22:54
  Ken Walters.
• 23:00
  What year is that?
• 23:02
  He does not say.
• 23:05
  but that's pretty doggone cool.
• 23:08
  And I would frame it too.
• 23:09
  I would get as many pictures
• 23:10
  as I could and frame it.
• 23:12
  Um, just like he did.
• 23:15
  So.
• 23:16
  Ninety five.
• 23:22
  Um, Kenneth, the lab says, uh,
• 23:23
  looks like prime nineties
• 23:25
  and Ken does confirm.
• 23:27
  Nineteen ninety-five.
• 23:29
  Gosh, was,
• 23:30
  was Kirby Puckett still playing
• 23:31
  back then?
• 23:34
  Uh,
• 23:38
  Uh, Siobhan says,
• 23:39
  Carolyn's a martial artist talk.
• 23:40
  He was a hobby.
• 23:43
  I miss martial arts.
• 23:44
  That was the best I was
• 23:46
  going for a run the other day.
• 23:47
  And you know, when you're running,
• 23:48
  you have all these thought
• 23:48
  process and stuff.
• 23:50
  Um,
• 23:51
  but I was thinking back on just like
• 23:54
  the mental aspect that
• 23:57
  Taekwondo or just martial arts in general.
• 23:59
  I trained boxing as well and
• 24:01
  a little bit of jiu-jitsu.
• 24:02
  But just like the mental
• 24:04
  aspect of martial art and
• 24:05
  how much that helped me
• 24:06
  over my career in sports.
• 24:08
  Because physically, it's a great sport.
• 24:10
  And I've done a lot of
• 24:11
  sports in terms of physical stuff.
• 24:14
  think that gymnastics or you
• 24:16
  know hockey soccer whatever
• 24:18
  sport you do helps
• 24:19
  physically but I was as I
• 24:20
  was running the other day I
• 24:21
  was like listening to music
• 24:23
  and just trying to get
• 24:24
  myself you know back into
• 24:26
  the rhythm of things and I
• 24:27
  was like man the type of no
• 24:28
  part of my life just helped
• 24:30
  me so much like mentally
• 24:32
  for sports just a little taste
• 24:38
  See, like I look at that and I'm like,
• 24:40
  I feel so slow and flat
• 24:42
  footed compared to where I was before,
• 24:44
  but it's super fun to throw down.
• 24:46
  That's my gym in Toronto,
• 24:48
  CrossFit Coliseum.
• 24:49
  Yeah.
• 24:54
  before Carolyn and I really
• 24:55
  like formally met.
• 24:56
  Um, and the first time I interviewed her,
• 24:58
  like I was all about the, uh,
• 25:00
  when she was beating up Bob, um, in their,
• 25:03
  uh, martial arts gym.
• 25:05
  And we talked about that a
• 25:06
  lot the first time she was on.
• 25:08
  So yeah.
• 25:11
  Yeah.
• 25:12
  Maybe, maybe there's a, on the,
• 25:14
  that four mile part,
• 25:15
  part of the first run,
• 25:16
  you can just take
• 25:17
  competitors out as they try to pass you.
• 25:19
  I would definitely need that
• 25:21
  in that workout.
• 25:21
  Well,
• 25:25
  All right,
• 25:25
  so that is the big news of the day.
• 25:30
  And we'll probably talk
• 25:31
  about that a little bit
• 25:31
  more as we go through the
• 25:35
  rundown a little bit.
• 25:36
  The next thing up is,
• 25:39
  I know we had talked a
• 25:40
  little bit last week, Carolyn,
• 25:42
  that you may do the World
• 25:45
  Fitness Project qualifiers for event two.
• 25:47
  And then this happens.
• 25:50
  Are you still,
• 25:51
  have you decided one way or another,
• 25:53
  or did this change your mind completely?
• 25:57
  Yeah.
• 25:58
  No, I'm not doing that.
• 25:59
  It would be three comps in August.
• 26:02
  And honestly, it's just too expensive.
• 26:04
  I would do it.
• 26:05
  I just,
• 26:05
  I don't want to be spending that
• 26:06
  much money for three
• 26:08
  competitions in August.
• 26:11
  I love to compete.
• 26:12
  Like I like doing things,
• 26:13
  but when everything's out of your pocket,
• 26:15
  it's, it gets expensive.
• 26:17
  Yeah.
• 26:18
  Yeah.
• 26:19
  But the good news is you can
• 26:22
  earn money at these events
• 26:24
  that are coming up.
• 26:25
  So hopefully you can make
• 26:26
  back at least make back
• 26:28
  what you have to spend.
• 26:31
  Because realistically,
• 26:33
  you're going in as the
• 26:33
  number one seed in the Masters games.
• 26:36
  And you've been top twenty
• 26:40
  several times at the games.
• 26:43
  Right.
• 26:43
  You've been there three times.
• 26:45
  Top twenty.
• 26:46
  No,
• 26:46
  just just my first year in twenty
• 26:48
  nineteen, whereas twelve.
• 26:50
  And then after that,
• 26:51
  I was in the in the twenties.
• 26:55
  OK, I think mid to late or twenty seven,
• 26:58
  maybe twenty third or twenty second.
• 27:01
  The other one.
• 27:03
  So Jamie,
• 27:04
  you last time did the qualifiers
• 27:05
  for tour stop one qualified.
• 27:08
  And then because you didn't
• 27:09
  weigh your stuff got eliminated.
• 27:12
  Are you planning on doing
• 27:14
  the qualifiers or did you
• 27:15
  just enjoy the fourth?
• 27:16
  I enjoyed the fourth.
• 27:20
  I what their do what Tuesday?
• 27:22
  It's only like, I could maybe do them.
• 27:25
  I might,
• 27:25
  we'll see tomorrow how much time I have.
• 27:28
  Maybe I'll hit two of the workouts and.
• 27:31
  They do on Tuesday or they do tomorrow?
• 27:34
  I don't know.
• 27:34
  I just have what they are.
• 27:36
  Yeah.
• 27:37
  Um,
• 27:38
  the first one is look at an up and back
• 27:40
  chipper.
• 27:41
  I think two of the three are
• 27:42
  up and back chippers,
• 27:44
  like kind of in your wheelhouse, I guess.
• 27:46
  Ish.
• 27:47
  Um, row GHD dumbbell box, step over, um,
• 27:52
  dumbbell, clean and jerk dumbbell box,
• 27:53
  step over a GHD calorie row.
• 27:56
  And the second one is a nine
• 27:58
  facing bar facing burpee six snatch,
• 28:01
  three rope climb nine minute AMRAP.
• 28:05
  and the last one is twenty
• 28:07
  one thruster fourteen
• 28:08
  shuttle run forty two chest
• 28:09
  to bar pull up fourteen
• 28:10
  shuttle run twenty one
• 28:11
  thruster short and sweet
• 28:16
  any um any thoughts on the
• 28:19
  programming of those
• 28:20
  workouts I thought there
• 28:25
  would be more squatting in
• 28:26
  this round but you got
• 28:29
  thrusters yeah thruster and
• 28:31
  they're not light so twenty ones
• 28:34
  gross to hang on to.
• 28:40
  With that step over.
• 28:42
  Yeah.
• 28:43
  The thruster is pretty much it.
• 28:45
  Yeah.
• 28:46
  No, I like them.
• 28:46
  I think they're good workouts.
• 28:49
  They're less in my
• 28:50
  wheelhouse than the last set, but.
• 28:55
  But you still may try to get
• 28:57
  them in tomorrow and Tuesday.
• 28:58
  Yeah.
• 28:59
  Why not?
• 29:01
  All right, cool.
• 29:02
  I wouldn't go, but.
• 29:09
  might do the workouts.
• 29:12
  Okay.
• 29:12
  We have a question here.
• 29:13
  First of all, I'll ask you guys,
• 29:15
  did you guys see the Beat
• 29:16
  Baygent competition that was put up?
• 29:20
  Yep.
• 29:21
  Yeah, it was a great workout.
• 29:25
  Anybody taking it on?
• 29:26
  I will do it.
• 29:29
  Nice.
• 29:30
  I thought about you too.
• 29:30
  I was going to message you.
• 29:31
  I was like, you should do this one.
• 29:32
  It's a fun one.
• 29:33
  Very similar to the master's
• 29:35
  fitness workout that was
• 29:38
  two K row into one hundred
• 29:39
  and fifty burpees over the rower.
• 29:41
  And.
• 29:46
  I don't mean I didn't see
• 29:47
  any any girls times that
• 29:48
  were really near me.
• 29:53
  I know that there's no
• 29:54
  scaling for the females,
• 29:55
  but it would be interesting to get like,
• 29:57
  you know, seventy five to eighty cows,
• 29:58
  seventy to eighty cows for
• 29:59
  the females and then.
• 30:01
  Yeah.
• 30:03
  Then I think I would sign up.
• 30:06
  Do either of you think you
• 30:07
  can finish it as written?
• 30:11
  I was trying to math it and I just,
• 30:14
  I don't know.
• 30:17
  Folo got what, eighty-seven?
• 30:18
  Yeah.
• 30:20
  And she was moving on the burpees.
• 30:22
  Okay.
• 30:24
  Yeah,
• 30:24
  she has good burpees and she rode
• 30:27
  pretty well too.
• 30:28
  Yeah.
• 30:29
  I think I could be similar to that.
• 30:31
  I like burpees.
• 30:32
  I don't mind rowing.
• 30:36
  But I don't know.
• 30:36
  Finishing it,
• 30:37
  I think for the females would be tough.
• 30:38
  I think someone like Sam
• 30:43
  Briggs in her prime.
• 30:44
  Yeah.
• 30:48
  Trying to think of other
• 30:51
  females that had both good burpees and
• 30:54
  solid growing.
• 30:57
  It's a tough one.
• 30:57
  It's a it's well programmed.
• 30:59
  The time cap is is challenging for sure.
• 31:04
  I think that's intentional, right?
• 31:05
  That's like, that's what he was going for.
• 31:08
  Right.
• 31:08
  Is it be really for someone to, to,
• 31:12
  to beat it.
• 31:13
  And my big question for
• 31:15
  Jamie is say she wins this
• 31:17
  and she is given a Chicago
• 31:19
  bears Jersey signed by
• 31:20
  Tyson Bajan as a Detroit lions fan.
• 31:24
  Would she hang it in her house?
• 31:26
  I'd probably hang it at the gym.
• 31:34
  All right.
• 31:36
  Listen, I'm a Baygent fan.
• 31:39
  Yeah, I'm a Tigers fan,
• 31:40
  but I'm a Baygent fan.
• 31:42
  I talk him up everywhere I go.
• 31:46
  Yeah,
• 31:46
  it's been a wild week for me as a
• 31:48
  Bears fan and the Tyson
• 31:49
  Baygent stuff because my
• 31:52
  favorite Bears podcast
• 31:53
  followed him the same
• 31:54
  weekend Hiller followed him,
• 31:56
  and they both did different –
• 31:59
  They both came out with
• 31:59
  different videos that kind of overlapped.
• 32:02
  Like, on the CHGO one,
• 32:04
  you could hear Hiller in
• 32:05
  the background talking
• 32:07
  while they're interviewing Tyson.
• 32:10
  It was just really cool to
• 32:13
  get that much Tyson in and
• 32:15
  that much Bears talk and
• 32:16
  that much CrossFit talk all
• 32:18
  in the same kind of
• 32:20
  condensed area for a couple weeks.
• 32:24
  It was really cool.
• 32:25
  And Tyson's just the dude.
• 32:28
  So...
• 32:30
  Yeah, we know top female gets a jersey.
• 32:32
  I just want to know if she'd
• 32:34
  hang it in the Detroit area.
• 32:38
  Does that mean they have to beat Erica?
• 32:42
  Yeah, that's top female.
• 32:43
  She's signed up.
• 32:44
  She's top female right now.
• 32:46
  I think you've got to beat her score.
• 32:49
  You've got to go back and
• 32:50
  watch the video and then
• 32:51
  look at all the paces.
• 32:52
  I know.
• 32:55
  Ken, I would never want her trophy.
• 32:57
  it's I I would know it's a
• 32:59
  trophy I would know it's a
• 33:00
  trophy and I wouldn't want
• 33:01
  that like that's that'd be
• 33:03
  like taking carolyn's metal
• 33:06
  from something and hanging
• 33:07
  it in my like just dumb but
• 33:16
  maybe someday I can meet
• 33:17
  tyson and I can get him to sign something
• 33:21
  I actually have a big
• 33:22
  full-size Bears helmet that
• 33:24
  I have had all different
• 33:28
  Bears sign it over the years.
• 33:29
  So we don't have to beat Erica.
• 33:35
  Okay.
• 33:35
  Erica's not square.
• 33:40
  Good.
• 33:40
  All right.
• 33:41
  I think you still need to.
• 33:43
  I think you have a great shot at this one.
• 33:44
  This is... Yeah, I do like the workout.
• 33:48
  I don't want to put more pressure on you.
• 33:53
  Andrew, I sent you a message.
• 33:54
  Are you going to ever read your DMs?
• 33:57
  I need your guidance.
• 33:59
  Well, you sent him five pages.
• 34:02
  I know.
• 34:03
  I have a lot of questions.
• 34:04
  The man's busy.
• 34:06
  I know.
• 34:09
  All right.
• 34:10
  Well...
• 34:12
  yeah beep agent it's only
• 34:13
  five bucks on competition
• 34:14
  corner plus like a
• 34:16
  processing fee I think it
• 34:17
  turns out to be like seven
• 34:18
  bucks for the whole thing
• 34:20
  and the proceeds go to a
• 34:22
  local affiliate in uh the
• 34:24
  chicago area uh that is a
• 34:26
  choice of uh andrew and I
• 34:29
  think that's awesome so uh go support
• 34:34
  Right now,
• 34:35
  he has more sign-ups than the
• 34:38
  World Fitness Project's community series.
• 34:44
  And I've only signed up for Beat Bajan.
• 34:46
  I have not signed up for
• 34:47
  World Fitness Project.
• 34:49
  But I do think that the
• 34:51
  workout is more accessible than the WFP.
• 34:53
  So I don't know if it's hard
• 34:55
  if you could compare both of them,
• 34:57
  but yes, it's, and I do like that.
• 35:01
  He's going to go and do that
• 35:03
  for a local affiliate.
• 35:04
  I think that's awesome.
• 35:07
  Yeah,
• 35:08
  I've been on the horn all week on my
• 35:10
  lunch shows that the
• 35:12
  affiliates are where the
• 35:13
  magic's at with everything.
• 35:14
  And I think people are
• 35:16
  losing sight of that.
• 35:18
  A lot of the success that
• 35:19
  people have had over the
• 35:20
  years in both health and
• 35:22
  fitness have come from the
• 35:23
  affiliate level.
• 35:24
  And...
• 35:26
  We bash HQ for all of their
• 35:28
  actions and what they do,
• 35:29
  but none of that has
• 35:31
  changed the way the
• 35:32
  affiliates treat their
• 35:33
  customers and the people
• 35:35
  who walk through that door.
• 35:37
  And I really needed that
• 35:38
  wake-up call over the last
• 35:40
  few weeks and I've been
• 35:41
  really kind of hammering that home.
• 35:44
  And so I love that he's
• 35:45
  giving to a local affiliate
• 35:46
  because that truly is where
• 35:48
  people get their lives changed.
• 35:52
  So...
• 35:56
  also found out that uh
• 35:58
  bethany is pregnant yeah
• 36:01
  her and randy are going to
• 36:03
  give birth she was pregnant
• 36:04
  at the world fitness
• 36:05
  project um we all thought
• 36:07
  it was a back injury
• 36:09
  apparently it was a belly
• 36:10
  injury not injury though
• 36:12
  just a belly congrats to
• 36:13
  them that's exciting
• 36:19
  So it was going to be a late news day,
• 36:22
  and so I put out to you guys,
• 36:23
  what are the top five
• 36:25
  CrossFit events of all time?
• 36:28
  Games workouts, correct?
• 36:29
  Games workouts.
• 36:32
  Okay.
• 36:32
  CrossFit games workouts.
• 36:33
  What I did is I just went
• 36:35
  from the top of my head,
• 36:36
  like what I remembered the most.
• 36:40
  I didn't do a lot of research,
• 36:41
  so I'm sure there's ones I
• 36:43
  will miss that are –
• 36:48
  that are really cool tests
• 36:50
  or whatever we want to call
• 36:52
  those pieces of the CrossFit games.
• 36:55
  But I'll go first.
• 36:56
  Cause I'm, I'm like the less,
• 36:58
  the least programming
• 36:59
  savant of all of this.
• 37:01
  And so mine are from five to one,
• 37:04
  five is push pull from two
• 37:06
  thousand fourteen.
• 37:09
  which was the handstand
• 37:10
  pushups and the pull the sled.
• 37:13
  Four was the sandbag clean
• 37:14
  from twenty twenty two.
• 37:16
  And I think it's just
• 37:16
  because I was in the media
• 37:18
  pit on the floor for that event,
• 37:20
  which made it really exciting.
• 37:23
  Number three is the climbing
• 37:24
  snail from two thousand sixteen.
• 37:27
  It was the slowest,
• 37:28
  exciting finish of all time.
• 37:31
  And then number two is
• 37:33
  swimming stuff from the
• 37:34
  twenty twenty covid games.
• 37:37
  I love events and I love the
• 37:40
  one from like twenty
• 37:41
  thirteen twenty twelve to
• 37:44
  where they're in the pool.
• 37:45
  They're out of the pool.
• 37:45
  They have to do something.
• 37:46
  They're in the pool.
• 37:47
  I like that in and out of the pool thing.
• 37:52
  And then my number one of
• 37:53
  all time is strong man's
• 37:54
  fear from twenty seventeen.
• 37:57
  And I have,
• 37:58
  that's close to my heart
• 37:59
  because I actually was a
• 38:00
  volunteer during that games
• 38:02
  and I was resetting the
• 38:03
  yokes for that event.
• 38:05
  And I was right there watching it all.
• 38:07
  And it was a great event.
• 38:08
  You had to make choices as
• 38:10
  to what you were going to
• 38:11
  lift first and how much
• 38:13
  time you need to rest for
• 38:14
  the handstand walks.
• 38:16
  And people made bad
• 38:17
  decisions all over the place.
• 38:20
  And it was a choose your own
• 38:21
  adventure kind of thing.
• 38:23
  And I really enjoyed that.
• 38:25
  So those were my five.
• 38:29
  You want me to go?
• 38:33
  Yes.
• 38:33
  I have the final one, two,
• 38:35
  and three from twenty ten.
• 38:39
  Is that the girls?
• 38:42
  No.
• 38:44
  That's like the push-ups,
• 38:45
  get over the wall,
• 38:47
  and then into the
• 38:48
  toe-to-bar overhead squat or something,
• 38:50
  and then the rope climb
• 38:51
  that Rich struggled on.
• 38:54
  I liked the like one minute
• 38:56
  reset and like go to the
• 38:57
  next one and keep going.
• 38:58
  I liked that.
• 39:00
  It's crazy to go back and
• 39:01
  watch those workouts
• 39:02
  because people like can't
• 39:03
  even do total bar.
• 39:04
  It's insane.
• 39:06
  Um,
• 39:07
  so that one I have swim and ski similar.
• 39:11
  I do like when they get out of the water.
• 39:12
  I liked that one because I
• 39:14
  liked that everyone at the
• 39:15
  games did that.
• 39:16
  And we could even see like
• 39:17
  the adaptive scores
• 39:19
  compared to the elite
• 39:21
  scores and all the masters,
• 39:24
  like everyone did that workout.
• 39:26
  And it was just cool to see everyone,
• 39:29
  how far they could get.
• 39:30
  Um, I also have strong man's fear.
• 39:33
  Um, and then I have Mary, um,
• 39:36
  And then I have the Capitol.
• 39:41
  So we have a couple in the
• 39:42
  chat before Carolyn goes, um, Kenneth,
• 39:46
  the lap is I like strong
• 39:47
  man's fear and at Atlanta, uh,
• 39:51
  cross fat killer cage, push, pull, push,
• 39:54
  pull Murph, double grace, triple three,
• 39:57
  naughty Nancy.
• 39:59
  Um, understand the Capitol and chaos, uh,
• 40:03
  Oh, Chaos was incredible.
• 40:05
  Good pick.
• 40:07
  Clock, the first Murph was lit.
• 40:13
  Rich off the rope.
• 40:16
  Yeah.
• 40:17
  And then Andrew Sten to finish.
• 40:19
  Three Murph when Bridges wins.
• 40:21
  Killer Cage and Strongman's Fear.
• 40:23
  All right,
• 40:24
  and I'll take a break and let Carolyn go,
• 40:25
  and then we'll finish them
• 40:26
  up with whatever everybody else is.
• 40:28
  I didn't put them in order
• 40:29
  or anything like that,
• 40:30
  but I liked Rescue Randy.
• 40:32
  When they had an obstacle
• 40:34
  course and then came back,
• 40:35
  I think Cole Sager on that one.
• 40:38
  I like the athleticism of that one.
• 40:42
  And Cole Sager making Randy his bitch.
• 40:45
  Oh my gosh, that was incredible.
• 40:47
  When he just took it to the
• 40:49
  finish line and just grabbed it,
• 40:51
  it was...
• 40:52
  It was awesome.
• 40:53
  Um, capital was amazing.
• 40:55
  It was amazing to do as an athlete for me.
• 40:58
  It was special because I got
• 40:59
  to run through the city
• 41:00
  that I went to school.
• 41:01
  So it was very, very special.
• 41:03
  I liked the climbing snail, uh,
• 41:06
  strongman sphere, killer cage,
• 41:08
  and first cut.
• 41:10
  That was a great workout.
• 41:11
  First cut was in my head.
• 41:14
  The first Murph was in my head too.
• 41:17
  It just was so destructive.
• 41:19
  Um,
• 41:22
  And then there was another
• 41:23
  one that was mentioned that
• 41:24
  was in my head.
• 41:25
  Atalanta was in my head.
• 41:26
  The problem for me is like
• 41:29
  there was a couple workouts
• 41:30
  from twenty twenty that I really like.
• 41:32
  I just don't like that there
• 41:32
  was only five people that did them.
• 41:34
  And so it doesn't stick out
• 41:35
  to me because the race wasn't good.
• 41:37
  Yes,
• 41:38
  it would have been a different memory.
• 41:39
  I think if the race was competitive,
• 41:42
  a whole field doing the test for sure.
• 41:46
  I've always been a fan of
• 41:47
  the sprinting events,
• 41:49
  like the zigzag stuff over
• 41:51
  the hurdles or obstacle course.
• 41:53
  Like I, I love that kind of stuff.
• 41:55
  Uh, Larry young Murph back nine.
• 41:57
  Uh,
• 41:58
  but the old school beach workout was
• 42:00
  Spieler.
• 42:01
  I remember looking at the
• 42:02
  athletes and was like,
• 42:04
  are they effing jacked?
• 42:06
  Um, uh, CrossFit.
• 42:10
  Remember when everyone flew to the ranch?
• 42:12
  Now we're in Albany.
• 42:14
  Yeah, I actually, I,
• 42:16
  that was a great memory for me.
• 42:17
  And the behind the scenes
• 42:18
  part of that at the airport
• 42:20
  and stuff was awesome.
• 42:22
  When they flew to the ranch.
• 42:24
  I think that,
• 42:25
  I think the memories of that
• 42:26
  are greater than the actual
• 42:27
  events at the ranch.
• 42:32
  Cinco one and two are on my list.
• 42:36
  Uh, Savan saying final event,
• 42:38
  NorCal men and women were
• 42:39
  more exciting than any of those.
• 42:41
  Well,
• 42:42
  I would say the races were definitely
• 42:43
  more exciting at the end of NorCal,
• 42:48
  but I think there could
• 42:50
  have been a tweak to those, that event.
• 42:52
  It's crazy because a lot of
• 42:53
  the workouts that we've mentioned here,
• 42:55
  all workouts that took place, you know,
• 42:56
  on the soccer stadium or North Park,
• 43:00
  you know, on the turf, stuff like that,
• 43:02
  that I don't know that
• 43:04
  they'll be able to
• 43:04
  replicate that same atmosphere, obviously,
• 43:07
  indoor.
• 43:08
  We've seen, you know,
• 43:08
  turf pop up indoor in
• 43:10
  competitions now with the
• 43:11
  Rogue Invitational being
• 43:12
  able to add that last year.
• 43:15
  But just those, you know,
• 43:16
  that soccer field stadium or
• 43:19
  Huge turf made it, I think,
• 43:20
  even more of like a spectacle to watch,
• 43:24
  like the progression down
• 43:27
  the floor and stuff like that.
• 43:29
  I think the outdoor events
• 43:31
  were really cool to watch.
• 43:33
  Like those tripper style
• 43:34
  outdoors are very memorable, I think,
• 43:36
  over the years.
• 43:38
  I understand.
• 43:38
  Obstacle course was great.
• 43:40
  They need to do something like that again.
• 43:42
  Was that when Pat and Matt both fell?
• 43:45
  They did on the Rescue Randy
• 43:47
  version of the obstacle course.
• 43:51
  um uh larry young it was
• 43:55
  swim run pull-ups push-up
• 43:57
  old one uh I like hat trick
• 44:03
  I don't even know if I know
• 44:04
  that one by name
• 44:05
  That was like a sprint and
• 44:06
  then like a wall ball and
• 44:08
  then a dumbbell squat snatch.
• 44:10
  You know, a lot of those workouts from Boz,
• 44:12
  you know, are very, very memorable,
• 44:14
  like elevated Elizabeth, the Capitol,
• 44:17
  Patrick's right there.
• 44:17
  Like there's some unique elements, the,
• 44:20
  you know,
• 44:20
  the strict pegboard that we saw
• 44:22
  with the skipping,
• 44:22
  like obviously not the
• 44:23
  whole field took part in that,
• 44:24
  but there was a lot of cool
• 44:27
  new elements added in that
• 44:28
  year of twenty twenty two.
• 44:32
  That was exciting.
• 44:33
  Agreed.
• 44:33
  I even had Jackie Pro in my
• 44:37
  list when I was going
• 44:38
  through them because I
• 44:39
  liked the twist of forcing
• 44:41
  that pace on the row.
• 44:43
  Like it changed that workout a little bit.
• 44:45
  Swim and ski is that year too, right?
• 44:47
  In twenty twenty two.
• 44:48
  I think so.
• 44:49
  Yeah.
• 44:49
  So like there's I thought
• 44:51
  that they did a really good
• 44:51
  job that year.
• 44:52
  Yeah.
• 44:54
  the programming because a
• 44:55
  lot of people always talk
• 44:55
  about the you know the or
• 44:58
  even all the way until as
• 45:00
  the prime years of like the
• 45:02
  programming but there's a
• 45:03
  couple other years too that
• 45:05
  had some some great events
• 45:08
  um doug reed says froning
• 45:10
  destroying the field in his
• 45:11
  last event as an individual
• 45:12
  I think it was double grace
• 45:16
  I yeah if it was sunday rich was on fire
• 45:25
  Um,
• 45:26
  the ranch run into the dumbbell or the
• 45:28
  dumbbell, the deadlift ladder was cool.
• 45:31
  I did like it.
• 45:32
  Like I liked those events.
• 45:33
  I just don't think they
• 45:34
  elevated to like top five.
• 45:36
  I think the actual taking
• 45:38
  them to the ranch would
• 45:39
  have been a top five moment of the games.
• 45:46
  Um, Kenneth is like, yeah,
• 45:48
  all outdoor events.
• 45:53
  Uh,
• 45:55
  How was watching the mile in
• 45:56
  person last year?
• 45:58
  It was amazing.
• 46:00
  It was probably the most
• 46:01
  people in the stands for an
• 46:02
  event ever at a CrossFit
• 46:05
  event because it was a free
• 46:07
  event at the football stadium.
• 46:10
  And it was under the lights
• 46:12
  and it was done really well.
• 46:19
  Daniel Church, the buzz year was great,
• 46:21
  in my opinion.
• 46:23
  Fibonacci final, just fun to say.
• 46:26
  The alpaca.
• 46:28
  We never got a true version
• 46:29
  of alpaca for me to be able to judge it.
• 46:32
  I think it was a cool
• 46:33
  concept that the rain
• 46:35
  washed out in the first
• 46:36
  year they tried to do it.
• 46:38
  And I think it totally
• 46:39
  flipped the games on who did well.
• 46:43
  So...
• 46:49
  The Pendleton Run, you got any candy?
• 46:57
  Beach events were amazing
• 46:58
  and outdoor stuff, triple threes,
• 46:59
  Bird and Run.
• 47:01
  Bird and Run was one of my
• 47:02
  first memories of watching
• 47:04
  the CrossFit Games.
• 47:10
  Yeah, I'll take anything with the run.
• 47:11
  Those are all usually my
• 47:13
  favorite workouts.
• 47:15
  I'll take the sprinting ones with the run.
• 47:16
  Yeah.
• 47:21
  They don't test those enough.
• 47:22
  They're over too quick.
• 47:24
  I just need more drawn out drama.
• 47:26
  But like the people will
• 47:28
  complain because like, you know,
• 47:29
  people went by like
• 47:30
  hundreds of a second or tens,
• 47:32
  but that's what sprinting is.
• 47:33
  And there's a big difference
• 47:34
  if you're a second behind someone,
• 47:35
  like that means you're like
• 47:37
  significantly slower.
• 47:38
  Yeah.
• 47:38
  And when I look at sports,
• 47:41
  any fitness tests in a lot of the sports,
• 47:43
  the first thing they do is
• 47:44
  test speed and sprinting.
• 47:46
  And we rarely do that in our sport.
• 47:50
  um so like that's what I
• 47:52
  grew up doing I'm probably
• 47:53
  biased towards that um all
• 47:56
  I see is a long distance or
• 47:58
  moderate distance I keep
• 47:59
  showing up and I'm like
• 48:00
  that's fine but let's see a
• 48:02
  sprint yeah uh sherry saw
• 48:08
  we got it next year though
• 48:09
  right alpaca but it was
• 48:10
  rewritten it was close but
• 48:14
  it was rewritten the
• 48:15
  following year what they do
• 48:18
  change the rope climb
• 48:22
  I think they changed the
• 48:23
  reps or I can't remember
• 48:24
  the exact details.
• 48:26
  It's been a minute.
• 48:26
  I think some of the reps changed.
• 48:28
  I was on the demo team that year.
• 48:32
  Some of the reps scheme, I think,
• 48:33
  changed towards what it was originally.
• 48:36
  But even then, I think on the female side,
• 48:38
  it was over-programmed for the females.
• 48:43
  I don't think the field is at...
• 48:47
  that capacity at that point
• 48:48
  for that many seated
• 48:50
  legless um I think it was
• 48:53
  just a little bit over
• 48:54
  programmed on the female
• 48:55
  side agree um I knew this
• 49:03
  was going to come up caleb
• 49:04
  you all going to talk about
• 49:05
  dbe or what I kind of chose
• 49:07
  not to talk about dbe I
• 49:09
  think that you guys
• 49:11
  Did enough and talked about
• 49:13
  it enough that it's been covered.
• 49:17
  And it doesn't really have
• 49:18
  an effect on what's going
• 49:19
  on on the field.
• 49:21
  So I'm choosing to move on from it.
• 49:25
  I feel like I missed so much
• 49:27
  the last two weeks.
• 49:32
  I just haven't been able to
• 49:32
  watch anything.
• 49:35
  I don't even know what's going on.
• 49:37
  Well,
• 49:37
  I'm not going to be able to bring
• 49:38
  anything newer to the table
• 49:39
  than what they've already talked about.
• 49:42
  They've dug in deep.
• 49:44
  Jenny has done a lot of digging.
• 49:47
  They have way more evidence
• 49:48
  as to what's going on.
• 49:51
  I only know what I've watched from them.
• 49:52
  Yeah.
• 50:00
  I don't even know what to say about it.
• 50:01
  I don't really look into that.
• 50:06
  Does it just have to do with her and Matt?
• 50:07
  I don't know what I'm missing.
• 50:12
  Now you're forcing me to go into it.
• 50:13
  Well, I don't know.
• 50:15
  I was trying to watch today
• 50:16
  after the drive home.
• 50:17
  There was a TikTok.
• 50:18
  Okay.
• 50:19
  There was a TikTok.
• 50:22
  This all happened live while
• 50:23
  Siobhan was live yesterday.
• 50:24
  Okay.
• 50:25
  There was a TikTok on Matt
• 50:29
  Torres' TikTok account
• 50:31
  where he pulls up to DB's
• 50:33
  house and there's a car in
• 50:35
  the driveway that is not her boyfriend's.
• 50:39
  And the person inside is not
• 50:41
  her boyfriend.
• 50:43
  All making us believe that
• 50:45
  her boyfriend is Matt Torres.
• 50:47
  That they have gotten back together.
• 50:49
  And he went there to... And
• 50:51
  then the rest of it is speculation.
• 50:53
  That he may have went there
• 50:54
  to surprise her or not.
• 50:56
  I don't know.
• 50:57
  But...
• 50:58
  It was on TikTok for a minute.
• 51:00
  Matt pulled it down.
• 51:01
  He actually pulled his whole TikTok down.
• 51:03
  It's no longer up there.
• 51:07
  And so, yeah,
• 51:09
  Jenny has dug in deeper than that.
• 51:13
  Danielle's mother was on
• 51:14
  their show giving her input
• 51:15
  to this and then later made
• 51:18
  an Instagram post that she
• 51:19
  shouldn't have jumped into that,
• 51:22
  that she's a mother and she
• 51:23
  wants to protect her children,
• 51:24
  but that's not her place.
• 51:26
  And so it, I don't,
• 51:28
  I don't know what's going
• 51:29
  to come of all of this, but, um,
• 51:35
  and Matt made a statement
• 51:36
  in the tech talk that his
• 51:38
  heart is full of hate and, and he's hurt.
• 51:44
  And, uh, someone says here, I,
• 51:47
  for some reason, it's not pulling up.
• 51:50
  Um,
• 51:53
  I don't know.
• 51:54
  He says that Matt's heart is broken,
• 51:57
  that it's not speculation.
• 52:02
  The part that they talked
• 52:03
  about that I actually think is valid is,
• 52:07
  and it was brought up by Matt Souza,
• 52:08
  is every year right before the games,
• 52:12
  it seems like Daniel does
• 52:14
  something to self...
• 52:18
  Self implode.
• 52:21
  Right.
• 52:22
  When the thing went down with underdogs,
• 52:24
  it happened right before the games.
• 52:25
  Yeah.
• 52:26
  Like it always seems to
• 52:27
  happen right before,
• 52:29
  right before the games.
• 52:33
  Self-sabotage.
• 52:34
  That's what I was trying to look for.
• 52:36
  I think that's the part that
• 52:37
  is important to what
• 52:39
  happens on the field.
• 52:42
  The rest, I don't know anything about.
• 52:51
  so to me posting like the
• 52:53
  her house and stuff like
• 52:54
  that online is I don't know
• 52:57
  I I think that's not
• 52:59
  appropriate and there's
• 53:01
  like especially with the
• 53:01
  platform that that um they
• 53:05
  both have um there's some I
• 53:09
  won't go into it no comment
• 53:11
  for me and have they
• 53:14
  haven't even been together for like
• 53:18
  almost a year right I don't
• 53:20
  like I don't know any of
• 53:21
  that that's why I didn't
• 53:22
  really want to dive into it
• 53:23
  because everything at this
• 53:24
  point is there were rumors
• 53:26
  that they're back together
• 53:27
  they were back together the
• 53:28
  rumors are not back
• 53:29
  together um depending on
• 53:31
  who you listen to I it's
• 53:33
  just it's again at this
• 53:34
  time it's it's all tmz um
• 53:38
  other than what they've
• 53:39
  come up with and um through
• 53:43
  digging and torres even
• 53:46
  names the person that's in the house
• 53:48
  Oh boy.
• 53:50
  But is it anyone we know?
• 53:54
  He's a,
• 53:54
  he's like a semifinal level
• 53:56
  CrossFit athlete.
• 54:03
  So yeah, it just seems very childish.
• 54:07
  TikTok stuff.
• 54:08
  But when you're grown, I don't know.
• 54:13
  Deal with your shit another way.
• 54:17
  Um, this isn't TMZ.
• 54:18
  This is professional sports finally.
• 54:21
  Yeah.
• 54:21
  This is stuff that goes
• 54:22
  around in professional sports too.
• 54:24
  I just don't know enough
• 54:24
  about it to like make any,
• 54:27
  I can't make any educated
• 54:28
  comments on this that
• 54:30
  haven't already been stated.
• 54:31
  Um,
• 54:33
  I can't add anything to this
• 54:34
  conversation because I
• 54:36
  don't know anything.
• 54:38
  And the guy's name is Gooch.
• 54:39
  His last name is Gooch,
• 54:41
  which just makes it,
• 54:46
  but I don't think, I mean,
• 54:48
  a grown man going on Tik
• 54:49
  TOK filming their girlfriend,
• 54:51
  it just doesn't seem like
• 54:53
  an emotionally stable thing to do.
• 54:57
  Um, so I don't know.
• 55:01
  It's not.
• 55:07
  Yeah.
• 55:07
  Interesting.
• 55:08
  I don't even know.
• 55:09
  This is.
• 55:11
  And then,
• 55:12
  and then you have the fact that
• 55:13
  she's a brute athlete.
• 55:15
  Um,
• 55:18
  She's a brood athlete.
• 55:20
  Brood is owned by Matt Torres.
• 55:22
  What does that mean going into the games?
• 55:26
  I don't know.
• 55:26
  I got to think if you're
• 55:28
  like Galen or Fi or any of them,
• 55:30
  you're like, bro, focus.
• 55:36
  I've been texting with Fi
• 55:37
  all weekend trying to find
• 55:39
  a time to get her on,
• 55:39
  but everybody else has her on too.
• 55:42
  I was trying to get her on
• 55:43
  before any of this broke.
• 55:44
  I was just trying to get her on as Fi.
• 55:48
  And I don't want to talk about this with,
• 55:50
  with fee either.
• 55:53
  But she,
• 55:54
  her and her husband both made
• 55:55
  statements about what a
• 55:56
  great guy Matt Torres is
• 55:58
  since this all happened.
• 56:02
  So they're sticking behind
• 56:03
  Matt in this case.
• 56:09
  This is just wild.
• 56:12
  So, all right, let's move on.
• 56:14
  Okay.
• 56:15
  Thanks for the recap.
• 56:16
  I'll go watch some of these shows.
• 56:20
  And even Jenny did a dense update today,
• 56:25
  just solely dedicated to this.
• 56:27
  Okay.
• 56:28
  All right.
• 56:28
  And that'll give you the
• 56:29
  recap of the whole thing in
• 56:30
  a ten-minute window.
• 56:31
  Perfect.
• 56:32
  Thanks, Jenny.
• 56:37
  Too many people just post
• 56:38
  their stuff on social media.
• 56:40
  Like, it's just for everyone to see.
• 56:43
  Like, people need to keep it more private.
• 56:45
  It's all for attention.
• 56:50
  Yeah, she's good at that, though.
• 56:52
  Like,
• 56:54
  she knows what self-sabotage or
• 56:56
  self-promote.
• 56:58
  She's good at it.
• 56:58
  All right.
• 57:03
  So now Doug wants me to talk about Annie.
• 57:05
  I don't,
• 57:05
  the only thing I even saw about Annie,
• 57:08
  and I'll be,
• 57:08
  I'm just being completely honest.
• 57:10
  I did not even get into this,
• 57:11
  that she couldn't find
• 57:12
  water during Murph in two
• 57:14
  thousand sixteen.
• 57:17
  And then I've seen pictures
• 57:18
  of like volunteers handing
• 57:20
  out bottles and bottles and
• 57:21
  bottles of water in the
• 57:22
  runway coming on and off the field.
• 57:27
  That is all I've seen with Annie.
• 57:31
  Um, so I,
• 57:32
  I don't really know anything about that.
• 57:40
  Um, yeah, I haven't, I haven't watched,
• 57:43
  I saw, I saw it appear in my like, um,
• 57:46
  suggested videos on YouTube,
• 57:48
  but I haven't dug into it.
• 57:49
  I think it looked like a,
• 57:51
  an hour interview or
• 57:52
  something like that with this lady.
• 57:54
  I'm not sure where the, and it's not,
• 57:56
  it's not a CrossFit podcast.
• 57:57
  It's outside of the CrossFit realm,
• 58:00
  I think.
• 58:01
  I, again, I didn't watch it.
• 58:03
  I just saw a clip and I know that Sue,
• 58:05
  and it was a clip from
• 58:06
  Sousa talking about it and
• 58:09
  how much he likes Annie,
• 58:10
  but that was just not true.
• 58:13
  And that's all I saw from everything.
• 58:14
  So,
• 58:18
  and the reason I haven't watched any of
• 58:20
  that podcast is because
• 58:21
  it's been an amazing week of content.
• 58:25
  Finally,
• 58:27
  We had the road to the games
• 58:30
  with Lightfoot, Clements, and Kringle,
• 58:32
  which I think has been
• 58:33
  their best road to the game
• 58:34
  so far this year.
• 58:36
  And I think they did it by
• 58:37
  accident because the format
• 58:39
  didn't really change,
• 58:40
  but their personalities were so good.
• 58:41
  Harry Lightfoot,
• 58:43
  I've got to get on the show
• 58:44
  because he is really funny.
• 58:47
  I liked him right away.
• 58:48
  Yeah.
• 58:50
  And Alan Clements swimming
• 58:52
  in the ocean and doing that
• 58:54
  stuff instead of being
• 58:55
  inside the gym made it a
• 58:57
  much better road to the games.
• 59:01
  And then the fee video,
• 59:03
  I've said it a million times.
• 59:05
  Hiller clipped what I said.
• 59:06
  I think it may be one of the
• 59:08
  best of all time.
• 59:09
  It was an A plus for sure.
• 59:11
  If you have not seen it, it is a must,
• 59:14
  must watch.
• 59:15
  I'll watch it tonight.
• 59:19
  And then people were encouraging.
• 59:21
  No,
• 59:21
  I haven't watched anything since
• 59:23
  Lucas's open house.
• 59:24
  I have been.
• 59:26
  Ten days of pulling my hair out,
• 59:28
  trying to get through life.
• 59:33
  The fee is chef's kiss.
• 59:34
  Good.
• 59:37
  Then people told me to check
• 59:38
  out the tier videos.
• 59:40
  So I checked out the Abby
• 59:41
  Domet one and the Roman Krennikoff one,
• 59:44
  and they're both really good,
• 59:46
  but they're done by a company.
• 59:48
  And so the product is what's
• 59:49
  most important.
• 59:50
  So it's a lot of training
• 59:51
  montage so that you can see
• 59:53
  the clothes and the shoes and the stuff,
• 59:55
  but it's, it's pretty good.
• 59:58
  It's for that being their focus.
• 1:00:01
  They did a,
• 1:00:02
  they did almost a better job
• 1:00:03
  than road to the games has been doing.
• 1:00:07
  Um,
• 1:00:08
  and then Castro on coffee pods and mods,
• 1:00:10
  I thought was as raw as Dave has gotten.
• 1:00:14
  And I thought that it was a
• 1:00:17
  very well done interview by Peter.
• 1:00:19
  Um, the most telling question was,
• 1:00:22
  have you ever just thought
• 1:00:23
  about with this year,
• 1:00:24
  just saying F it and walk away.
• 1:00:27
  And he paused for like two
• 1:00:28
  minutes and then said, let's move on.
• 1:00:31
  And I think that two minutes
• 1:00:33
  tells more than anything he
• 1:00:35
  could have answered.
• 1:00:41
  So.
• 1:00:44
  I think Peter's done a good
• 1:00:47
  job interviewing,
• 1:00:49
  interviewing some people.
• 1:00:51
  I love Peter's interviews.
• 1:00:52
  He's excellent.
• 1:00:55
  And I, and I think Carolyn M makes a great,
• 1:00:58
  they had great rapport.
• 1:01:01
  Now Dave did have to get
• 1:01:03
  like translation on some of
• 1:01:04
  the words that Peter was using.
• 1:01:06
  because he didn't understand
• 1:01:07
  the Irish dialect, but... So, yeah.
• 1:01:21
  Has Jack been on Boys
• 1:01:22
  Interrupted more than once?
• 1:01:24
  Yes.
• 1:01:25
  Oh, see,
• 1:01:26
  I haven't even... So I finally watched,
• 1:01:29
  like...
• 1:01:30
  Right after, shortly after the other one,
• 1:01:32
  I watched the one where
• 1:01:33
  they were talking about Garmin.
• 1:01:34
  It's kind of a continuation.
• 1:01:35
  Okay.
• 1:01:36
  So he was on and Jack is
• 1:01:38
  studying like the
• 1:01:40
  biomechanics of wearables, right?
• 1:01:42
  Yes.
• 1:01:44
  And he had like an old Garmin.
• 1:01:46
  He didn't even have,
• 1:01:47
  and like Emma is sponsored
• 1:01:48
  by Garmin and Dallin
• 1:01:50
  sponsored by Garmin and blah, blah.
• 1:01:51
  Right.
• 1:01:52
  So apparently after the show,
• 1:01:53
  Garmin sent him the latest,
• 1:01:55
  greatest Garmin.
• 1:01:57
  And so he's been wearing it
• 1:01:59
  and they had him come back
• 1:02:01
  on to show that he had the
• 1:02:02
  new latest and greatest
• 1:02:05
  Garmin and that he's trying
• 1:02:07
  out all the different
• 1:02:08
  functionality and it can't wait to do.
• 1:02:12
  But he is smarter than the
• 1:02:15
  other three by far and funnier than, well,
• 1:02:19
  Jason Hopper has hit a new
• 1:02:20
  level and that's going to
• 1:02:22
  be in a question we have later.
• 1:02:24
  But yeah.
• 1:02:28
  And we're there.
• 1:02:28
  We're at Factor Fiction.
• 1:02:30
  It's actually a perfect segue.
• 1:02:32
  Okay.
• 1:02:33
  So my first question on Factor Fiction is,
• 1:02:37
  Factor Fiction, Jason Hopper,
• 1:02:39
  Colton Mertens,
• 1:02:40
  and Dallin Pepper are the
• 1:02:42
  best male athlete content
• 1:02:43
  creators of all time.
• 1:02:47
  So I mean,
• 1:02:50
  I feel like I have to say
• 1:02:52
  fiction just in that I feel
• 1:02:54
  like Rich is like the
• 1:02:57
  ultimate content creator,
• 1:02:58
  but Rich almost isn't a
• 1:03:00
  self content creator.
• 1:03:01
  Like he's amassed a media team around him.
• 1:03:04
  So I guess the nuance would
• 1:03:06
  be what Rich puts out.
• 1:03:09
  Does that count or does it
• 1:03:10
  have to be someone like
• 1:03:11
  doing their own TikToks?
• 1:03:12
  Because then, yes,
• 1:03:13
  those boys are crushing it.
• 1:03:14
  You get the question,
• 1:03:15
  you interpret it however it is,
• 1:03:17
  and then you tell me fact or fiction why.
• 1:03:19
  I guess fiction's my answer
• 1:03:21
  because I'm going to say rich.
• 1:03:25
  Yeah,
• 1:03:25
  I thought this... At first I didn't
• 1:03:26
  see that it had male because I was like,
• 1:03:29
  oh, there's been better...
• 1:03:33
  female that do like reels
• 1:03:35
  and stuff like that uh but
• 1:03:37
  I agree with jamie with um
• 1:03:40
  rich I mean the stuff that
• 1:03:41
  he's put out in terms of
• 1:03:42
  content over the years has
• 1:03:44
  been amazing um justin has
• 1:03:48
  some good stuff too you
• 1:03:50
  didn't add him but he has
• 1:03:51
  some good content as well
• 1:03:53
  um here's my thing with
• 1:03:55
  rich yeah I mean I think I
• 1:03:56
  think rich over the years
• 1:03:58
  has had more that's what I
• 1:04:00
  thought ken was rebecca
• 1:04:02
  but I said male because they're,
• 1:04:05
  they're a handful of Ariel.
• 1:04:07
  Yes.
• 1:04:07
  Yes.
• 1:04:09
  Right.
• 1:04:12
  Here, here's my thing.
• 1:04:14
  What Colton and Jason are
• 1:04:16
  doing lately with their
• 1:04:18
  humor and kind of looking
• 1:04:20
  at trends and being funny
• 1:04:22
  and being kind of bigger
• 1:04:24
  than just CrossFit,
• 1:04:26
  I think is a whole different level of,
• 1:04:28
  Rich just went down the,
• 1:04:30
  either paved the road or
• 1:04:31
  went down the road of just
• 1:04:32
  the down the fairway kind of content.
• 1:04:35
  Here's what I'm doing.
• 1:04:36
  Here's my, me working out.
• 1:04:38
  Okay.
• 1:04:38
  I'm creating a podcast and
• 1:04:40
  he's the only one that just didn't quit.
• 1:04:42
  He's just taking long breaks.
• 1:04:46
  Yeah.
• 1:04:47
  But like what Colton and
• 1:04:48
  Jason and Dallin are doing now,
• 1:04:49
  like Dallin doing the daily
• 1:04:51
  countdown to the games is
• 1:04:52
  almost like a must watch reel every day.
• 1:04:55
  And his wife's is even better.
• 1:04:59
  Yep, I've been following her.
• 1:05:00
  I like her.
• 1:05:01
  T-Bird's got a point.
• 1:05:03
  The open humiliation.
• 1:05:05
  Pat Donner.
• 1:05:06
  Pat and Brent was top tier.
• 1:05:09
  And there was another guy I'm missing.
• 1:05:13
  Another Canadian guy was in there too.
• 1:05:15
  And I think Jason Carroll
• 1:05:16
  was in there maybe at one point.
• 1:05:18
  Yeah.
• 1:05:20
  Open humiliation stuff.
• 1:05:21
  Yeah, that group was good.
• 1:05:24
  Well, just this week alone,
• 1:05:25
  you have Colton roasting the pork.
• 1:05:28
  Where he's talking to the
• 1:05:29
  pig and then there's
• 1:05:31
  roasted pork in the crock pot.
• 1:05:32
  Oh, no.
• 1:05:34
  And then you have Jason
• 1:05:36
  calling everybody and
• 1:05:37
  saying goodnight and just
• 1:05:40
  wanted to say goodnight and
• 1:05:41
  wanted to hear your voice.
• 1:05:43
  And the people he called,
• 1:05:45
  it was just like everyone
• 1:05:47
  was funnier than the last.
• 1:05:50
  When he called J.R.,
• 1:05:52
  Like I thought the Castro
• 1:05:53
  one was going to be like the,
• 1:05:55
  the funniest.
• 1:05:56
  And then he called Jr.
• 1:05:57
  And Jr.
• 1:05:57
  Just didn't want anything to do with him.
• 1:06:01
  And it was hilarious.
• 1:06:03
  That's good.
• 1:06:04
  That's a, that's a on trend.
• 1:06:06
  Tick tock right now.
• 1:06:06
  I mean, I've seen those.
• 1:06:07
  Yeah.
• 1:06:08
  Yeah.
• 1:06:10
  Like they're just hitting,
• 1:06:11
  they're hitting their stride for.
• 1:06:15
  And all of that is promoting the sport.
• 1:06:20
  which is,
• 1:06:21
  or whatever we want to call this thing.
• 1:06:25
  It's just doing as much as
• 1:06:27
  anybody else has done.
• 1:06:30
  Yeah,
• 1:06:30
  I think that they're leaning into
• 1:06:31
  this new world of TikTok, the trends,
• 1:06:34
  the social media part,
• 1:06:35
  branding themselves.
• 1:06:38
  They're adding their humor to it.
• 1:06:40
  I think they've done a
• 1:06:41
  phenomenal job this year to
• 1:06:43
  promote themselves, their brand,
• 1:06:44
  and CrossFit.
• 1:06:47
  Jody Lynn, I love those antics.
• 1:06:50
  The good night one was hilarious.
• 1:06:54
  CrossFit, the old San Diego video,
• 1:06:56
  San Diego, San Diego with Brent.
• 1:06:57
  I'll be honest, I forgot about this.
• 1:07:01
  When Brent did the all-in videos,
• 1:07:04
  that was a trend that was
• 1:07:06
  not done before because
• 1:07:07
  they were just funny,
• 1:07:09
  stupid videos where him and
• 1:07:13
  Pat are frolicking in the
• 1:07:15
  in the lake to try to get
• 1:07:17
  pat to be a better swimmer
• 1:07:20
  like that was gold back
• 1:07:21
  then yeah the all-in series
• 1:07:25
  t-bird was was so good all
• 1:07:31
  right number two factor
• 1:07:33
  fiction a failed drug test
• 1:07:36
  should be able to come from
• 1:07:37
  a public admission
• 1:07:42
  So last year,
• 1:07:44
  because Andrew Hiller said he was on TRT,
• 1:07:48
  the CrossFit Games
• 1:07:49
  suspended him for four years.
• 1:07:54
  Most recently this week,
• 1:07:56
  Taylor Self in an ad
• 1:07:58
  appears to take BPC for his knee.
• 1:08:04
  You never see the injection.
• 1:08:05
  You never see it go in.
• 1:08:06
  But they play it up that
• 1:08:08
  that's what it is.
• 1:08:08
  And he received an email
• 1:08:10
  from the CrossFit Games
• 1:08:11
  giving him the opportunity to appeal.
• 1:08:13
  But because of that ad,
• 1:08:17
  they were giving him a
• 1:08:20
  four-year suspension.
• 1:08:23
  Did they do the same for Rich?
• 1:08:28
  I have not heard anything
• 1:08:29
  from the Mayhem Camp that
• 1:08:31
  Rich got the same email.
• 1:08:35
  Yeah,
• 1:08:36
  that's a tough one because on one hand,
• 1:08:39
  I appreciate someone being
• 1:08:40
  honest and forthcoming with that stuff,
• 1:08:42
  but why aren't they just
• 1:08:44
  sending a drug test then
• 1:08:45
  right when they hear that
• 1:08:47
  and showing that it... I mean,
• 1:08:50
  I think the problem is
• 1:08:50
  going to be some of that
• 1:08:51
  stuff isn't going to pop
• 1:08:52
  and that's going to cause
• 1:08:54
  a... Why is it banned if
• 1:08:56
  it's not going to pop?
• 1:09:01
  But I almost don't think you
• 1:09:02
  can just go with...
• 1:09:06
  I don't know.
• 1:09:07
  That's a, that's a tough one.
• 1:09:09
  I think I got to say.
• 1:09:10
  It's not just the admission, the admitting,
• 1:09:12
  it's also the video that goes with it.
• 1:09:14
  That also is showing.
• 1:09:18
  So I think that there's some, um,
• 1:09:22
  what is this?
• 1:09:22
  Like you can go ahead and
• 1:09:26
  suspend the person when you
• 1:09:28
  see the actual injection
• 1:09:29
  into the body versus just word.
• 1:09:32
  Um,
• 1:09:33
  I don't think either of them you've
• 1:09:34
  seen an injection.
• 1:09:38
  commercial that that taylor
• 1:09:39
  does you you don't see the
• 1:09:40
  injection go in the knee
• 1:09:43
  you see syringes and
• 1:09:44
  needles but it never
• 1:09:45
  actually enters his body
• 1:09:48
  right for hillary hillary
• 1:09:49
  you got to see the
• 1:09:50
  injections so that's one I
• 1:09:53
  mean he was like ish there
• 1:09:54
  was a grayed out box but you can assume
• 1:09:59
  I don't know I mean
• 1:10:02
  regardless pretty split in
• 1:10:03
  the chat I want the sport
• 1:10:05
  regardless I want the sport
• 1:10:06
  to be clean and whether
• 1:10:08
  it's detectable or not um
• 1:10:10
  if you're taking things
• 1:10:11
  that are giving you an
• 1:10:12
  advantage that is on a van
• 1:10:14
  um list you should compete
• 1:10:19
  whether whether you get a
• 1:10:20
  suspension or you yourself
• 1:10:22
  decide not to compete like
• 1:10:24
  I think you send them the suspension.
• 1:10:25
  They have the ability to appeal.
• 1:10:27
  If they appeal,
• 1:10:28
  then you have to drug test.
• 1:10:29
  Yeah, you could do that.
• 1:10:34
  If you admit, yeah, I was doing it,
• 1:10:36
  I deserve the suspension, then no harm,
• 1:10:39
  no foul.
• 1:10:47
  You have to make sure the
• 1:10:48
  effect of the drugs is no
• 1:10:49
  longer in the system.
• 1:10:52
  did lance ever test positive
• 1:10:55
  in any of his tests for him
• 1:10:56
  to be stripped of titles no
• 1:11:01
  it was only he admitted so
• 1:11:04
  that's that's my answer so
• 1:11:11
  they stripped him right of
• 1:11:13
  yeah of the titles
• 1:11:15
  Well,
• 1:11:15
  I think they did do an investigation.
• 1:11:17
  There was an investigation
• 1:11:18
  that he did do it.
• 1:11:20
  He never tested positive.
• 1:11:21
  And that's what the chat's
• 1:11:23
  saying is you need a positive test.
• 1:11:24
  And Lance didn't have a positive test.
• 1:11:26
  And we know that he took stuff.
• 1:11:27
  Yeah.
• 1:11:38
  Okay.
• 1:11:38
  So the next one.
• 1:11:41
  Factor fiction.
• 1:11:43
  Dave Castro saying that the
• 1:11:44
  games are going back to
• 1:11:45
  basic CrossFit programming
• 1:11:47
  is good for the CrossFit games.
• 1:11:58
  I think fiction,
• 1:11:59
  I think not for the whole games.
• 1:12:01
  I still think that you need
• 1:12:02
  elements that like, yes,
• 1:12:04
  it's safe to do that,
• 1:12:06
  but I think that you need
• 1:12:07
  to do things that will be
• 1:12:09
  also out of the box,
• 1:12:11
  like exciting and different
• 1:12:13
  and just brings a different
• 1:12:17
  type of workout to the game.
• 1:12:19
  I think if you just see like
• 1:12:20
  classic in the gym CrossFit,
• 1:12:23
  I don't think that's gonna
• 1:12:24
  do it for the community.
• 1:12:27
  Yeah,
• 1:12:28
  I don't even know what he's getting
• 1:12:30
  at there.
• 1:12:32
  We just went... You just
• 1:12:34
  asked us some of the best
• 1:12:36
  programming and it's like
• 1:12:38
  not... All outdoor.
• 1:12:39
  Yeah, like... Well,
• 1:12:40
  I did that for a reason, Jake.
• 1:12:43
  So fiction.
• 1:12:44
  Because clearly we don't want just...
• 1:12:49
  Nine, but we do,
• 1:12:50
  we do want some sort of classic CrossFit.
• 1:12:53
  And I think those are very
• 1:12:54
  important tests to be in
• 1:12:56
  there and should be in there,
• 1:12:57
  but do we need, let's say there's,
• 1:13:00
  you know, eight to twelve events.
• 1:13:01
  Do we need, you know, two thirds,
• 1:13:05
  three quarters of them to
• 1:13:07
  be classic CrossFit?
• 1:13:07
  I don't know.
• 1:13:08
  I don't think so.
• 1:13:10
  I think you could have, yeah,
• 1:13:11
  you could have a third.
• 1:13:16
  Yeah.
• 1:13:19
  Yeah, like this run, row,
• 1:13:21
  run is not classic CrossFit, right?
• 1:13:24
  No.
• 1:13:24
  It's a needed test and it
• 1:13:26
  needs to be there.
• 1:13:27
  There should be a
• 1:13:28
  weightlifting piece with a long event.
• 1:13:33
  So now you're down to eight events.
• 1:13:37
  But like we just said,
• 1:13:39
  the fun events are like
• 1:13:40
  Strongman's Fear or
• 1:13:42
  swimming stuff or chaos events.
• 1:13:49
  none of that is actually
• 1:13:50
  like classic crossfit I
• 1:13:57
  would argue chaos kind of
• 1:13:59
  is what'd you say again
• 1:14:07
  jamie I would argue chaos
• 1:14:09
  is kind of classic crossfit I mean
• 1:14:13
  Never have I gone into a gym
• 1:14:15
  and the daily workout is, hey,
• 1:14:17
  start working out and I'll
• 1:14:18
  tell you what's next when you get there.
• 1:14:19
  Well, after you saw,
• 1:14:21
  after you did the workout.
• 1:14:22
  And we'll tell you when to stop.
• 1:14:24
  I don't know.
• 1:14:24
  I've done that.
• 1:14:25
  And I've done that a couple
• 1:14:27
  times over the years to my gym.
• 1:14:30
  I love it.
• 1:14:34
  Andrew Sten says,
• 1:14:35
  bring back hammering and rebar.
• 1:14:43
  Yeah, I know.
• 1:14:44
  I think I think there's a
• 1:14:46
  certain amount that should
• 1:14:47
  be classic CrossFit.
• 1:14:48
  And I think the games is
• 1:14:49
  when you can have a little
• 1:14:50
  bit of other stuff, too.
• 1:14:53
  It's like,
• 1:14:53
  do I like that tire one from last year?
• 1:14:56
  Absolutely not.
• 1:14:57
  I think that was a stupid
• 1:14:58
  workout with the hammer one
• 1:15:00
  that they were supposed to do.
• 1:15:02
  But if it's one event in, let's say,
• 1:15:05
  thirteen to fourteen, you're always like,
• 1:15:08
  OK,
• 1:15:11
  But sometimes you get a miss
• 1:15:14
  with some of your workouts too.
• 1:15:16
  I felt like that was a miss last year.
• 1:15:19
  Lance actually did test
• 1:15:20
  positive for something,
• 1:15:21
  but they said he was using
• 1:15:22
  cream for saddle sores.
• 1:15:24
  So they dismissed it as that.
• 1:15:30
  I think that goes to prove
• 1:15:32
  Carolyn's point even more.
• 1:15:38
  All right.
• 1:15:38
  All right.
• 1:15:41
  I announced on Friday before
• 1:15:43
  knowing that Carolyn was
• 1:15:44
  going to the games, hopefully.
• 1:15:48
  We get official word soon
• 1:15:50
  that I'm going to be
• 1:15:50
  covering Hattie at the
• 1:15:52
  CrossFit Games this year.
• 1:15:54
  Twenty four seven behind the scenes.
• 1:15:57
  I got a room in the same
• 1:15:58
  hotel that she did.
• 1:15:59
  We're going to do a whole
• 1:16:02
  leading up to the games
• 1:16:03
  through the games after the
• 1:16:04
  games kind of thing.
• 1:16:07
  And I've met with her and
• 1:16:08
  Tristan and we set the
• 1:16:10
  ground rules and it's going
• 1:16:12
  to be awesome because her
• 1:16:13
  ground rules weren't much.
• 1:16:15
  it was um if I'm mad just
• 1:16:19
  don't expect me to talk but
• 1:16:20
  you can film my emotions um
• 1:16:25
  things like that so she is
• 1:16:27
  all on board for everything
• 1:16:28
  the hinge in this whole
• 1:16:29
  thing is I've asked for
• 1:16:30
  enhanced media access for
• 1:16:32
  the first time ever
• 1:16:34
  And I've not heard back on that yet.
• 1:16:36
  So hopefully I get that
• 1:16:37
  where I can be in the warmup area,
• 1:16:40
  filming her throughout the day.
• 1:16:42
  But I'm really,
• 1:16:43
  I just want to do it as a
• 1:16:44
  proof of concept to see if I can do it.
• 1:16:46
  And I wanted someone that
• 1:16:47
  I've known for a while and
• 1:16:48
  trusted and they trust me.
• 1:16:50
  And so that's what we're
• 1:16:50
  doing and super excited to do that.
• 1:16:54
  And if Carolyn is there,
• 1:16:56
  it's only going to be
• 1:16:57
  better because I can shoot
• 1:16:58
  some stuff of her
• 1:16:59
  throughout the day as well.
• 1:17:01
  And we can share that on the show as well.
• 1:17:05
  So, um,
• 1:17:07
  I think that's going to be super
• 1:17:07
  fun and I hope you guys enjoy that.
• 1:17:10
  She's promised me lots of
• 1:17:12
  dance parties and, um,
• 1:17:14
  eating lots of pasta is how she puts it.
• 1:17:17
  I think that's pasta in
• 1:17:18
  English and non-Canadian, but, um,
• 1:17:23
  we're at like a residence in, so it's, um,
• 1:17:26
  there's several of them in Albany.
• 1:17:28
  So don't think you know what you're doing.
• 1:17:29
  Uh, but it has a kitchen and, uh,
• 1:17:33
  and she's taking all of her
• 1:17:34
  food with her.
• 1:17:34
  So, uh, we'll go back to the hotel.
• 1:17:37
  She'll eat.
• 1:17:37
  We'll be able to have conversations there.
• 1:17:40
  Um, which will be really cool.
• 1:17:43
  I need to go.
• 1:17:45
  You're going to be, you're going to be, uh,
• 1:17:51
  stretched thin.
• 1:17:51
  I feel like.
• 1:17:56
  Well,
• 1:17:57
  like I just look back at last year
• 1:17:59
  when I didn't have anything
• 1:18:00
  to really cover.
• 1:18:02
  Like we just were doing a
• 1:18:03
  show every night.
• 1:18:03
  Yeah.
• 1:18:04
  So I just was watching and
• 1:18:06
  it got to be like really
• 1:18:07
  boring through the day.
• 1:18:09
  And I thought,
• 1:18:10
  what can I do where I can
• 1:18:11
  focus on something to make it my,
• 1:18:15
  my job for the day and then
• 1:18:17
  still do the show in the evening.
• 1:18:21
  and I thought I thought this
• 1:18:22
  would be cool yeah it'd be
• 1:18:24
  awesome to have another
• 1:18:25
  person there to do some of
• 1:18:26
  the segments and take it
• 1:18:28
  but I'll do the best I can
• 1:18:31
  and then if we get the
• 1:18:32
  proof of concept then maybe
• 1:18:34
  in the future we can do
• 1:18:35
  some more stuff like it
• 1:18:38
  right as a group um
• 1:18:49
  People still talking about the drug stuff.
• 1:18:51
  Anytime you bring up drug
• 1:18:53
  suspensions and steroids,
• 1:18:55
  it goes off the rails.
• 1:18:56
  I don't know how Hiller does it.
• 1:19:00
  The last thing I had on our
• 1:19:01
  agenda is I've been on the Metfix thing.
• 1:19:05
  We talked about it briefly
• 1:19:06
  last week with Carolyn.
• 1:19:08
  I thought I thought one way,
• 1:19:09
  and then the more stuff is coming out,
• 1:19:12
  the more I have totally
• 1:19:14
  dove off of that thought process.
• 1:19:17
  And it's just making me mad now.
• 1:19:20
  And I didn't think that was
• 1:19:23
  going to happen.
• 1:19:25
  I've lost Instagram
• 1:19:26
  followers over my opinion on MedFix.
• 1:19:28
  People have told me that I
• 1:19:30
  need to get over it,
• 1:19:31
  that they're here to help.
• 1:19:33
  But last I checked,
• 1:19:35
  telling me science at a
• 1:19:36
  blackboard didn't help me lose weight.
• 1:19:39
  It was the affiliate who
• 1:19:40
  helped me lose weight.
• 1:19:42
  That's who it was.
• 1:19:45
  Um, and I don't care if I lose people as a,
• 1:19:50
  as a follower on Instagram.
• 1:19:52
  I think that as they have
• 1:19:54
  tried to straighten up what
• 1:19:56
  their thoughts are,
• 1:19:58
  they're being caught in lie
• 1:19:59
  after lie after lie.
• 1:20:00
  Yeah.
• 1:20:01
  And that is just.
• 1:20:06
  It's rough.
• 1:20:07
  And I've talked to Athena a
• 1:20:09
  lot this week and I've,
• 1:20:12
  I've heard just way too
• 1:20:13
  much about what they did to her.
• 1:20:16
  And I think that that is,
• 1:20:18
  and then how they attacked
• 1:20:19
  her publicly after the fact
• 1:20:21
  was uncalled for.
• 1:20:32
  I don't know enough about, I guess,
• 1:20:34
  all of that that's going on.
• 1:20:35
  I saw a little bit of,
• 1:20:37
  I don't know who posted
• 1:20:39
  something on someone's story,
• 1:20:41
  but like the idea of metrics,
• 1:20:44
  I talked about that last time.
• 1:20:45
  Like it's very similar to
• 1:20:47
  what CrossFit is.
• 1:20:47
  It is CrossFit,
• 1:20:48
  but just with a more
• 1:20:49
  emphasis on the nutrition
• 1:20:51
  bottom part of the pyramid.
• 1:20:53
  If it's a higher education
• 1:20:55
  course or something, I'm all for it.
• 1:20:57
  Just like a weekend course.
• 1:20:59
  I just don't know.
• 1:21:01
  that it's going to work.
• 1:21:02
  I think the, the name met fix,
• 1:21:05
  like people don't really
• 1:21:06
  know about it right now.
• 1:21:06
  So I just don't,
• 1:21:08
  I just don't know that it
• 1:21:09
  will grow to be as big as
• 1:21:10
  what CrossFit is.
• 1:21:11
  I feel like they should be
• 1:21:12
  working together,
• 1:21:14
  promoting the same message
• 1:21:15
  and helping people get
• 1:21:17
  healthier in life through
• 1:21:19
  fitness and nutrition with nutrition,
• 1:21:21
  obviously being first.
• 1:21:21
  And then fitness is
• 1:21:23
  obviously the part that you
• 1:21:25
  have more control in an affiliate.
• 1:21:27
  You can't be with the person
• 1:21:28
  for what they eat at home, but you can,
• 1:21:32
  Suggest things or talk about
• 1:21:33
  things maybe a little bit
• 1:21:34
  more in the affiliate to help people,
• 1:21:35
  but I just don't know how
• 1:21:38
  they're going to do it.
• 1:21:41
  So the, the part that,
• 1:21:43
  that got me Carolyn is if
• 1:21:44
  you didn't see this piece
• 1:21:45
  is that Athena wrote an
• 1:21:48
  article in the morning talk
• 1:21:49
  up on Monday or Tuesday,
• 1:21:52
  where she claims that she
• 1:21:55
  alleges that met fix and
• 1:21:56
  Emily Kaplan offered her
• 1:21:59
  hundreds of thousands of
• 1:22:00
  dollars to not say the word
• 1:22:02
  CrossFit anymore.
• 1:22:03
  When she talks about her
• 1:22:04
  weight loss and to talk
• 1:22:05
  about it as Greg's philosophy.
• 1:22:10
  athena went on to say you
• 1:22:12
  can't buy me that way and I
• 1:22:14
  refused it emily then came
• 1:22:16
  back and said that that's
• 1:22:18
  not how the conversation
• 1:22:19
  went athena came and asked
• 1:22:21
  for it jenny from dense
• 1:22:24
  updates then looked into
• 1:22:26
  and athena showed her her
• 1:22:27
  phone records and you can
• 1:22:29
  see that there were no
• 1:22:29
  outgoing calls to emily
• 1:22:32
  they were only incoming calls and
• 1:22:38
  And then now more people are
• 1:22:39
  coming forward saying that
• 1:22:41
  the same offer was made to
• 1:22:42
  them as like CrossFit medical L-I's.
• 1:22:48
  Like when Greg did that
• 1:22:50
  medical L-I for the doctors,
• 1:22:52
  they've been offered money
• 1:22:54
  to then stop saying CrossFit as well.
• 1:22:58
  And all that I think is
• 1:23:01
  smoke and mirrors and scammy,
• 1:23:04
  but it just reminded me that
• 1:23:07
  it doesn't matter.
• 1:23:08
  I mean, the methodology matters,
• 1:23:10
  but it's this group of
• 1:23:11
  affiliates that formed.
• 1:23:13
  And those people,
• 1:23:14
  when I walk in the door
• 1:23:15
  that were the people that
• 1:23:16
  helped me with my nutrition
• 1:23:18
  and help me with my fitness.
• 1:23:22
  And that's the part that I
• 1:23:23
  had to be reminded of.
• 1:23:25
  And I feel like that Emily
• 1:23:28
  and Metfix are attacking
• 1:23:30
  CrossFit and they are
• 1:23:32
  trying to take down that
• 1:23:33
  affiliate group and
• 1:23:37
  And in a hokey, scammy way.
• 1:23:40
  And so with that,
• 1:23:42
  as someone who went into my
• 1:23:43
  interview with Pete Shaw,
• 1:23:45
  as someone who wanted to
• 1:23:45
  learn what MedFix was and
• 1:23:47
  learn as much as I could
• 1:23:48
  about it and to make it
• 1:23:50
  help me understand my
• 1:23:51
  nutrition journey better,
• 1:23:54
  I came out very
• 1:23:54
  disappointed on the other end.
• 1:24:02
  Yeah.
• 1:24:02
  I don't even know how they can...
• 1:24:05
  this, I guess, CrossFit,
• 1:24:06
  it's the same message.
• 1:24:08
  It's the same message.
• 1:24:09
  To me,
• 1:24:10
  their whole business is built off of
• 1:24:14
  the CrossFit methodology
• 1:24:15
  and just I don't even know
• 1:24:19
  how you can even attack your base.
• 1:24:26
  That's where it's from.
• 1:24:27
  Right.
• 1:24:28
  They're trying to convert
• 1:24:29
  them from a CrossFit
• 1:24:30
  affiliate to a Metfix affiliate.
• 1:24:32
  That's what I don't understand.
• 1:24:34
  Like,
• 1:24:38
  I mean, just say that, I guess,
• 1:24:40
  if that's truly the goal here,
• 1:24:42
  like it doesn't, I don't,
• 1:24:43
  I don't understand what's going on.
• 1:24:45
  I don't understand why we
• 1:24:46
  need a Metfix affiliate.
• 1:24:47
  Like, what are they doing?
• 1:24:52
  Again,
• 1:24:53
  there's a lot of things that
• 1:24:54
  CrossFit HQ has done that I
• 1:24:55
  do not agree with,
• 1:24:57
  but it doesn't change what
• 1:24:59
  the local affiliates have done for me.
• 1:25:02
  They've not changed a bit.
• 1:25:04
  The two that I belong to have been awesome,
• 1:25:07
  awesome gyms who loved on
• 1:25:10
  me when I walked in the door as a scared,
• 1:25:12
  five-hundred-pound person looking,
• 1:25:15
  begging for help.
• 1:25:17
  They loved on me.
• 1:25:18
  They encouraged me.
• 1:25:19
  They pushed me.
• 1:25:22
  That's what was important.
• 1:25:27
  Like, I love...
• 1:25:29
  Like I love their concept of
• 1:25:33
  like when we think about
• 1:25:34
  our level one and level two
• 1:25:35
  and it's all based off of
• 1:25:37
  the training and then with
• 1:25:38
  the one lecture on
• 1:25:39
  nutrition and theirs is all
• 1:25:41
  of nutrition with maybe one
• 1:25:42
  little part on CrossFit, right?
• 1:25:45
  Like a workout of the day or whatever.
• 1:25:47
  Like I like that concept and
• 1:25:49
  I think that that's super important.
• 1:25:50
  I think that should be a
• 1:25:51
  course that people buy or
• 1:25:53
  can have access to and get
• 1:25:56
  a little bit more knowledge
• 1:25:57
  in the nutrition part of things.
• 1:26:00
  And it could be in addition
• 1:26:02
  to CrossFit and extra
• 1:26:04
  credit for if you have your
• 1:26:05
  level three or level four.
• 1:26:08
  But the whole affiliate
• 1:26:09
  thing is just confusing to me.
• 1:26:12
  They don't want it to be that way.
• 1:26:14
  And that's what I've learned
• 1:26:14
  in the last couple weeks.
• 1:26:16
  Right.
• 1:26:16
  And that's what's weird
• 1:26:18
  because I don't see them
• 1:26:19
  being – I guess I don't
• 1:26:21
  know what it would bring
• 1:26:22
  for the affiliate.
• 1:26:23
  I mean,
• 1:26:23
  maybe just more content to give to
• 1:26:24
  your members, I guess.
• 1:26:27
  Yeah.
• 1:26:29
  Yeah.
• 1:26:29
  But then you have to be,
• 1:26:30
  then you have to be like, yeah, we're,
• 1:26:32
  we're this, but we're this too.
• 1:26:34
  It's not even in conjunction.
• 1:26:35
  And that's going to be
• 1:26:36
  confusing to members.
• 1:26:39
  Like,
• 1:26:40
  why do you have to be two separate
• 1:26:41
  affiliates?
• 1:26:43
  That's weird.
• 1:26:46
  And then you throw WP
• 1:26:48
  affiliates in there too.
• 1:26:49
  Now you got three separate
• 1:26:50
  things and it's a hot mess.
• 1:26:51
  High rocks affiliates too.
• 1:26:52
  Like people have all of
• 1:26:54
  these affiliates now.
• 1:26:58
  Mayhem affiliates,
• 1:26:59
  because they're taking over
• 1:27:00
  the whole world.
• 1:27:04
  Just kidding.
• 1:27:05
  You know,
• 1:27:06
  I'll have to go watch more of
• 1:27:07
  Seth's stuff, because like Ken says,
• 1:27:09
  Seth is... I totally respect Seth.
• 1:27:13
  I like to listen to what he has to say.
• 1:27:16
  He's super smart.
• 1:27:17
  The fact that he has both of
• 1:27:19
  those right now, I'd be curious...
• 1:27:22
  I'd be curious his take on it.
• 1:27:23
  Like what is he?
• 1:27:25
  I don't know if he's seen
• 1:27:26
  what I've seen this,
• 1:27:26
  these last two weeks.
• 1:27:27
  Yeah.
• 1:27:28
  Right.
• 1:27:28
  That's the problem.
• 1:27:30
  Right.
• 1:27:30
  So I don't know.
• 1:27:33
  Like I shared the DMS I got from Emily.
• 1:27:35
  Yeah.
• 1:27:36
  Right after everything.
• 1:27:37
  And I got bombarded and the
• 1:27:39
  way she talked to me was
• 1:27:41
  not in a cordial manner.
• 1:27:44
  Right.
• 1:27:44
  Agree.
• 1:27:46
  That's how she,
• 1:27:47
  that's the first impression
• 1:27:49
  I got of Emily.
• 1:27:50
  Cause I've never met her in my life.
• 1:27:54
  It's just crazy to see all
• 1:27:55
  the fighting happening
• 1:27:56
  because we all have the same goal of,
• 1:27:59
  you know, getting people healthier,
• 1:28:02
  get them,
• 1:28:03
  getting people to understand the
• 1:28:04
  importance of nutrition and
• 1:28:05
  movement in their day.
• 1:28:08
  And it just,
• 1:28:10
  it makes no sense to be fighting over,
• 1:28:11
  over different things like work together,
• 1:28:14
  be in addition to the
• 1:28:15
  CrossFit space with a
• 1:28:16
  course that you want to
• 1:28:17
  offer where you go inside
• 1:28:19
  an affiliates and you maybe
• 1:28:21
  show the affiliates how
• 1:28:21
  they can incorporate more of, you know,
• 1:28:25
  journal stuff or nutrition things,
• 1:28:27
  but there's nothing new
• 1:28:28
  from what they're even
• 1:28:29
  teaching in terms of their nutrition.
• 1:28:32
  And that's the thing that
• 1:28:33
  it's all Greg's old stuff.
• 1:28:34
  And maybe a little bit on that,
• 1:28:37
  but not much different.
• 1:28:39
  The fighting is not good for
• 1:28:40
  the ecosystem as a whole.
• 1:28:42
  Agreed.
• 1:28:42
  It is not.
• 1:28:44
  And,
• 1:28:44
  but so here I look at the ecosystem
• 1:28:49
  and CrossFit,
• 1:28:50
  I've begged to do something different.
• 1:28:54
  Okay.
• 1:28:55
  I'm going to try to make this.
• 1:28:56
  So CrossFit,
• 1:28:58
  the season in the sport has
• 1:29:00
  been messed up for too many years.
• 1:29:02
  It changes every year.
• 1:29:04
  We can never get a beginning to an end.
• 1:29:07
  WFP comes out with a
• 1:29:08
  solution and I'm actually like, Hey,
• 1:29:10
  that does sound like a better thing,
• 1:29:13
  but let's see it play its course.
• 1:29:15
  I don't, I'm not taking sides in this.
• 1:29:17
  I just want to see,
• 1:29:18
  can they make that type of a season work?
• 1:29:22
  MedFix comes out.
• 1:29:23
  Hey, we're going to focus on nutrition.
• 1:29:25
  CrossFit focuses on moving.
• 1:29:27
  We're going to focus on nutrition.
• 1:29:29
  Makes sense.
• 1:29:30
  But then when I am forced to
• 1:29:33
  dive deeper into that,
• 1:29:35
  I find out that that's not
• 1:29:36
  really what they are.
• 1:29:39
  And then at that point,
• 1:29:40
  then it has to become a
• 1:29:41
  fight because they have ulterior motives.
• 1:29:48
  And it's making it very, very complicated.
• 1:29:50
  Yeah.
• 1:29:52
  And WFP may have ulterior motives too,
• 1:29:56
  but right now they're not
• 1:29:56
  truly affecting the season.
• 1:29:59
  And we can see them both play out.
• 1:30:02
  I mean,
• 1:30:03
  their one comp affected the French
• 1:30:06
  throwdown, right?
• 1:30:08
  Yeah.
• 1:30:09
  But their other comps and
• 1:30:10
  where they're placed was
• 1:30:12
  outside of the season, which works.
• 1:30:18
  But I would like to see that
• 1:30:19
  type of a season play out
• 1:30:21
  just to see if it's doable.
• 1:30:23
  Yeah, I do like the idea of it.
• 1:30:25
  And the first tour was awesome again,
• 1:30:28
  but like Dave said in the
• 1:30:29
  podcast with coffee pods and wands,
• 1:30:33
  is that the order of it?
• 1:30:34
  I always get that mixed up, but you know,
• 1:30:36
  they're on year one,
• 1:30:37
  they haven't even completed.
• 1:30:38
  They've done one tour, right?
• 1:30:40
  can they keep the ball going and, you know,
• 1:30:43
  turn this into something that, you know,
• 1:30:45
  will grow to be huge in the
• 1:30:47
  next few years and actually
• 1:30:48
  be sustainable from right now.
• 1:30:51
  It looks great, but we need to see,
• 1:30:54
  you know, more things be, be done.
• 1:30:58
  What I thought was telling
• 1:30:59
  is with where CrossFit is economically,
• 1:31:04
  Dave was open to a
• 1:31:05
  discussion as to maybe they take,
• 1:31:08
  the season up to the games
• 1:31:12
  like in that interview now
• 1:31:15
  they never got to talk they
• 1:31:16
  never got any negotiations
• 1:31:17
  started so we don't know if
• 1:31:19
  that was realistic or not
• 1:31:21
  but he was open to having a
• 1:31:23
  discussion because they
• 1:31:26
  because crossfit couldn't
• 1:31:27
  afford to put on the season
• 1:31:29
  that was evident when they
• 1:31:30
  sold it off to nine
• 1:31:32
  different event organizers
• 1:31:38
  so I don't know like it it
• 1:31:40
  could have worked in the
• 1:31:41
  same ecosystem but uh that
• 1:31:45
  this is for another show
• 1:31:45
  we're at the end we'll
• 1:31:48
  maybe we'll talk about it
• 1:31:49
  we're we have a couple
• 1:31:50
  weeks where it's going to
• 1:31:51
  be a little bit slow until
• 1:31:53
  we get to the games so
• 1:31:55
  maybe we'll have room to
• 1:31:56
  put something in like this
• 1:31:59
  and have a discussion again
• 1:32:01
  about all that
• 1:32:03
  None of this was in a rundown.
• 1:32:05
  This was just a riffing off
• 1:32:07
  the cuff at the end of the show.
• 1:32:08
  So hopefully you stayed
• 1:32:10
  along for all of that.
• 1:32:12
  So glad everybody could be here tonight.
• 1:32:14
  Hopefully we get good news
• 1:32:15
  on Carolyn within twenty four hours or so,
• 1:32:19
  maybe Monday and
• 1:32:20
  everybody's back in their office.
• 1:32:23
  She gets an email.
• 1:32:25
  And we don't know.
• 1:32:25
  We don't know if Alex has
• 1:32:26
  actually submitted anything to CrossFit.
• 1:32:29
  She may have just submitted its I.G.
• 1:32:30
  Right.
• 1:32:31
  and talked on Sivan and, um,
• 1:32:35
  and she maybe have not as
• 1:32:36
  not formally withdrawn yet.
• 1:32:40
  Yeah.
• 1:32:40
  Like I won't book anything
• 1:32:41
  until I actually get the word,
• 1:32:45
  like the official word.
• 1:32:46
  Yeah.
• 1:32:50
