  Um, I really just hate when,

  if you schedule an hour long meeting,
• 1:05
  have an hour long meeting,
• 1:07
  don't have an hour and a
• 1:08
  half long meeting.

  When you schedule an hour meeting,
• 1:11
  people make plans.

  I know that this show is not

  Good to have you here.

  Jody Lynn, always spending time with us.
• 2:45
  So cool.
• 2:49
  so cool so uh third twenty
• 2:51
  five point three is over
• 2:53
  it's in the books if you
• 2:55
  did not see some of the
• 2:57
  stuff on uh the internet
• 2:59
  today I am going to share
• 3:02
  this uh real quick so
• 3:05
  here's the leaderboard this
• 3:07
  is the final leaderboard
• 3:09
  for the thirty five to
• 3:10
  thirty nine year olds
• 3:14
  There's our very own Carolyn
• 3:15
  Prevost won the open for
• 3:20
  the thirty five to thirty nine year olds.
• 3:22
  And look at the company she's in.
• 3:24
  Kristen Holta,
• 3:25
  Emily Rolfe and Carolyn crushed it.
• 3:29
  Just like you said,
• 3:29
  Sarah Clydesdale ladies
• 3:32
  definitely crushed it.
• 3:34
  Carolyn, if you notice right here,
• 3:37
  three points, three points.
• 3:41
  That means if you go across first, first,
• 3:45
  first,
• 3:47
  she won all three open workouts in
• 3:50
  the thirty five to thirty nine.
• 3:52
  so proud of her.
• 3:54
  Um, she has,
• 3:55
  she just had a great open this year.
• 3:58
  And again, my gosh,
• 3:59
  you look at some of the
• 3:59
  names that she beat Andrea Nistler,
• 4:02
  Caroline Klutz, Stevie Dellinger,
• 4:04
  all great athletes.
• 4:07
  Um, yeah.
• 4:11
  Uh, Craig, Craig says, uh, sweep.
• 4:13
  She's Canadian.
• 4:14
  We call that a hat trick, hat trick.
• 4:20
  Um,
• 4:22
  Emily is thirty five.
• 4:23
  Yes, Emily is thirty five.
• 4:25
  She was the oldest woman in
• 4:27
  the CrossFit Games field last year.
• 4:32
  And not a lot of people know that.
• 4:35
  Because she doesn't come
• 4:36
  across as someone that is
• 4:38
  that is thirty five.
• 4:41
  She looks much younger than that.
• 4:43
  But she got a late start into CrossFit.
• 4:47
  If you go back and listen to
• 4:48
  some of the old interviews
• 4:49
  we did with her.
• 4:52
  Yeah,
• 4:52
  I don't think she started CrossFit
• 4:53
  until she was like twenty eight.
• 4:56
  So what she has done since
• 4:57
  then has been mind blowing
• 5:00
  to say the least.
• 5:04
  So, yeah.
• 5:07
  Um,
• 5:08
  and then you guys are kind of spoiling
• 5:10
  it in the chat.
• 5:13
  Uh,
• 5:15
  We go to the forty four to
• 5:18
  forty forty to forty four
• 5:20
  year old division.
• 5:21
  And there is Jamie Latimer.
• 5:25
  She won the forty forty to
• 5:29
  forty four year old
• 5:30
  division by a good chunk.
• 5:32
  Twenty two to thirty eight.
• 5:35
  You go across to hers a sixth, a fifteenth,
• 5:38
  and she won the final workout.
• 5:43
  which is amazing my two
• 5:48
  co-hosts my two friends um
• 5:52
  is freaking awesome and uh
• 5:54
  they are freaking awesome
• 5:56
  and I'm so privileged to
• 5:57
  get to hang out with them
• 5:58
  all the time I'm privileged
• 5:59
  to call them friends um
• 6:03
  I am just welling up with
• 6:06
  pride that those are my
• 6:10
  friends that killed it that hard.
• 6:17
  Shout out to them.
• 6:20
  Shay says,
• 6:21
  Emily performing at arguably her best.
• 6:23
  If you actually look at her finishes,
• 6:26
  she gets better each year she competes,
• 6:29
  which is
• 6:31
  And for her to be like the
• 6:33
  oldest person in the women's field,
• 6:35
  finish better and better each year, it is,
• 6:40
  yeah.
• 6:41
  Yeah.
• 6:42
  She is so underrated.
• 6:45
  And I hope she gets her due
• 6:46
  taking third last year.
• 6:51
  So there.
• 6:53
  Awesome job, Jamie.
• 6:55
  Sarah says,
• 6:56
  our very own Corey Leonard also
• 6:57
  crushed it.
• 6:58
  We'll talk about his
• 6:59
  performance tomorrow when
• 7:00
  he's on the show for sure.
• 7:03
  Craig says,
• 7:03
  did Rich place first in all the
• 7:05
  workouts in his division?
• 7:06
  He did not.
• 7:07
  He did not even win.
• 7:08
  I don't even think he fit.
• 7:09
  He podiumed for the men.
• 7:10
  If I go to men, men, men, men, men, men,
• 7:11
  men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men,
• 7:12
  men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men,
• 7:14
  men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men,
• 7:15
  men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men,
• 7:16
  men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men,
• 7:17
  men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men,
• 7:18
  men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men,
• 7:19
  men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men,
• 7:20
  men, men, men, men
• 7:22
  Rich Froning took sixth.
• 7:28
  So Rich's finish were twentieth,
• 7:30
  eighteenth, and twentieth.
• 7:34
  Scott Pancheck was eleventh, eighth,
• 7:36
  and ninth.
• 7:43
  So there we go.
• 7:46
  Yeah, kind of a bit of a surprise there.
• 7:56
  um a train to live only nine
• 7:57
  hundred twenty five spots
• 7:58
  behind jamie let's go uh
• 8:01
  there you go yeah craig
• 8:04
  echoing emily is getting
• 8:05
  better each year she is and
• 8:12
  then ken says is jamie
• 8:13
  selling teas again this
• 8:14
  year I don't know um we
• 8:18
  will know if she gets to
• 8:20
  semis and makes the games
• 8:23
  But if you, yeah,
• 8:26
  we talked to her a couple
• 8:28
  weeks ago on the Sunday night show,
• 8:31
  but her son is a senior in high school,
• 8:34
  and that is taking
• 8:35
  precedence this year over competing,
• 8:39
  which as a parent, I completely,
• 8:41
  completely understand.
• 8:42
  Her son will be graduating
• 8:44
  high school and then moving
• 8:45
  on to college in the fall.
• 8:47
  So that stretch from like April,
• 8:50
  May to August,
• 8:52
  September is going to be
• 8:53
  pretty busy for her.
• 8:57
  And I even think there is a
• 8:59
  chance that the weekend he
• 9:03
  has to go to school is the
• 9:05
  weekend of the CrossFit Games.
• 9:07
  So she may not be able to
• 9:09
  make it this year because
• 9:10
  her priority is her son.
• 9:12
  But stay tuned.
• 9:14
  I'm sure we'll update you
• 9:15
  guys as the season progresses.
• 9:19
  And we know more
• 9:20
  definitively when
• 9:22
  everything kind of plays out.
• 9:28
  So I wanted to take a quick
• 9:29
  look at the elite division
• 9:32
  before we move on.
• 9:37
  If I go to individual men,
• 9:41
  Colton Mertens ends up winning the Open.
• 9:45
  I think if you saw Dave's
• 9:47
  Week in Review yesterday,
• 9:48
  he actually totaled up what
• 9:50
  he won by winning two
• 9:51
  events and winning the Open.
• 9:54
  He ended up winning like
• 9:54
  twenty seven thousand
• 9:56
  dollars in the Open this year,
• 9:59
  which is pretty impressive for Colton.
• 10:02
  Andy won Kale Taylor on Saturday.
• 10:04
  But donated that money to
• 10:07
  the kids of the CrossFitter
• 10:10
  who took his own life.
• 10:13
  His name is escaping me right now.
• 10:17
  But a sad story.
• 10:18
  And yeah.
• 10:23
  But he donated at fifteen hundred to them.
• 10:27
  Adalyn Pepper takes second.
• 10:28
  Jeff Adler takes third.
• 10:30
  He apparently is still fit.
• 10:32
  Austin Hatfield fourth.
• 10:34
  Kale Lehman and Jason Hopper, Jay Crouch,
• 10:37
  Ricky Garrard,
• 10:38
  Aldis Upenix and Nicholas
• 10:40
  Badon round out the top ten.
• 10:46
  Yeah, Craig, his name was McCoy.
• 10:48
  He took his own life.
• 10:49
  He had two children and a
• 10:51
  wife and they're doing
• 10:54
  It's not GoFundMe.
• 10:55
  It's the other account to
• 10:57
  help support his kids from here on out.
• 11:01
  And Colton donated the
• 11:03
  fifteen hundred from Kill Taylor to that,
• 11:06
  which is that's just the
• 11:07
  kind of guy Colton is.
• 11:11
  So pretty good top ten on the men's side,
• 11:13
  if we flip over to the women.
• 11:17
  Mira Von Rohr ends up
• 11:18
  winning by one point over Fisa Goffey.
• 11:22
  Lucy Campbell takes third.
• 11:24
  Andrea Solbert takes fourth.
• 11:26
  Our very own Carolyn Prevost.
• 11:28
  Not only did she win the
• 11:30
  thirty five to thirty nine,
• 11:32
  but she took fifth place overall.
• 11:34
  Top five in the world.
• 11:36
  Overall, elite women.
• 11:40
  which may be even a bigger
• 11:41
  feat than winning the
• 11:42
  thirty five to thirty nine
• 11:44
  with a hat trick clean sweep.
• 11:51
  Daniel Brandon, six, Kristen Holta,
• 11:53
  seventh.
• 11:54
  Again,
• 11:55
  as a retired athlete coming in
• 11:56
  seventh in the world is pretty amazing.
• 11:59
  Aline Wurz took eighth.
• 12:01
  Oda Lundevem took ninth.
• 12:04
  Alexis Raptus finished in tenth.
• 12:09
  That is your top ten on the women's side.
• 12:15
  So I work out with some or I work out.
• 12:19
  I have a show with some pretty fit women.
• 12:21
  It's been fun.
• 12:22
  I think Jamie finished top
• 12:24
  one fifty in the world
• 12:25
  overall as an elite woman
• 12:27
  to at forty one years old.
• 12:31
  I guess I can look real quick.
• 12:33
  It's right around the one fifty mark.
• 12:49
  The search on this leaderboard is awful.
• 12:54
  Uh, uh, yeah, Jamie,
• 12:56
  Jamie finished one in the world, um,
• 13:01
  overall.
• 13:04
  So, uh, that's pretty impressive.
• 13:09
  Uh, and, uh, pulling off that there,
• 13:13
  she is one.
• 13:18
  It just looked like that
• 13:19
  second workout is what got
• 13:20
  her or she would have been way,
• 13:22
  way higher on the leaderboard.
• 13:24
  And we talked about that
• 13:25
  last week about her cycle
• 13:27
  rate on the thrusters just
• 13:28
  seems to be her goat right now.
• 13:32
  And that's what got her.
• 13:37
  So,
• 13:39
  but still an impressive finish in the
• 13:42
  elite division to finish in
• 13:44
  the top two hundred at one fifty three.
• 13:49
  I know a lot of age group
• 13:50
  athletes were just trying
• 13:51
  to finish in the top two
• 13:52
  hundred in their division,
• 13:53
  but she did that overall
• 13:55
  and won her division.
• 13:57
  Man, what amazing,
• 13:58
  amazing athletes I get to hang out with.
• 14:05
  Amen.
• 14:06
  Aaron CrossFit needs to
• 14:07
  improve the leaderboard for sure.
• 14:13
  Hells now, Bernice.
• 14:15
  Awesome.
• 14:15
  Cut it live.
• 14:16
  Perfect timing while I wait
• 14:17
  at a dealership to get my
• 14:18
  summer tires on.
• 14:21
  Thank goodness I don't live
• 14:22
  in a place anymore where I
• 14:23
  have to get summer and winter tires.
• 14:25
  That was always a pain in
• 14:27
  the butt when I lived in
• 14:28
  the mountains in
• 14:28
  Pennsylvania because we
• 14:30
  would have studded tires in
• 14:31
  the winter and then we had
• 14:34
  to get those off by a
• 14:35
  certain date because they
• 14:37
  destroy the road and then for the summer.
• 14:40
  So, yeah.
• 14:46
  Joey says, wait,
• 14:47
  what's wrong with the leaderboard?
• 14:49
  What's wrong with the leaderboard?
• 14:50
  I'm sure there are some
• 14:51
  scores that are outlandish
• 14:52
  and that's maybe what
• 14:53
  they're talking about,
• 14:54
  but the search ability on
• 14:55
  this thing is pathetic.
• 14:58
  Uh,
• 14:59
  to try to find someone on the leaderboard,
• 15:01
  you almost have to type the
• 15:02
  complete name out before
• 15:04
  they'll pop up as an option.
• 15:06
  Um, so I don't know who developed it,
• 15:10
  but it is not easy to
• 15:12
  search around for certain
• 15:13
  people to see where they finished.
• 15:19
  So I wanted to take a brief
• 15:21
  moment to kind of talk
• 15:24
  about my open experience.
• 15:26
  So I did not do the open last year.
• 15:27
  I was in the hospital with
• 15:28
  AFib right before the open
• 15:31
  started last year.
• 15:32
  So I had to sit out for the
• 15:34
  first time since two thousand twelve.
• 15:37
  I've done every open from
• 15:38
  twenty thirteen to twenty twenty three.
• 15:42
  And then I sat out last year
• 15:44
  and was able to jump back in this year.
• 15:48
  And I was nervous.
• 15:49
  I was nervous about doing it again.
• 15:52
  The last couple of years,
• 15:53
  just due to health issues,
• 15:56
  I've been doing some
• 15:57
  foundations workouts in the open.
• 15:59
  I've been doing a lot of scaled.
• 16:02
  And so I was really nervous.
• 16:04
  But this was my first year
• 16:05
  in the fifty five to fifty
• 16:07
  nine year old division.
• 16:08
  So the workouts change a
• 16:10
  little bit for us this year.
• 16:13
  And I was able to do two of
• 16:15
  the three workouts RX.
• 16:17
  I actually was I could have
• 16:19
  done all three RX and got
• 16:22
  and posted a score.
• 16:24
  But I really wanted to
• 16:25
  compete against myself on
• 16:26
  the repeat workout from
• 16:28
  what I posted in twenty twenty two.
• 16:31
  So I did it in a scaled way
• 16:33
  and tried to beat my score.
• 16:37
  The highest I've ever
• 16:38
  finished in my division
• 16:41
  during the Open since I had
• 16:44
  back surgery was a twelfth percentile.
• 16:51
  And that ended up being a
• 16:52
  level one status in the
• 16:55
  twelfth percentile.
• 16:57
  This year, after workout two,
• 16:59
  I was sitting at the
• 17:00
  sixteenth percentile.
• 17:02
  Um,
• 17:03
  so I felt a little bit more pressure on
• 17:05
  this last workout to really
• 17:07
  put forth a good effort and
• 17:09
  to at least keep the
• 17:10
  sixteenth percentile to
• 17:11
  keep improving and maybe even improve.
• 17:16
  Uh, so I went into this workout.
• 17:18
  I had a plan.
• 17:19
  I actually did better than my plan.
• 17:21
  Um,
• 17:21
  I got a full round further than I
• 17:23
  thought I would.
• 17:24
  I almost made it back to the row, uh,
• 17:26
  as an RX athlete in the
• 17:29
  fifty five to fifty nine.
• 17:31
  And I ended up with two wall
• 17:34
  walks right before that final row.
• 17:39
  Turns out,
• 17:40
  I actually improved by four
• 17:42
  more percent and I finished
• 17:44
  the open in the twentieth percentile.
• 17:47
  Um,
• 17:47
  so I beat my previous best post back
• 17:51
  surgery by eight percentage points.
• 17:55
  Um,
• 17:55
  that is the biggest win I have had
• 17:58
  athletically, um,
• 18:01
  doing this sport CrossFit, um,
• 18:06
  since probably two thousand eighteen.
• 18:09
  Uh,
• 18:12
  I have been pretty broken, um, since then.
• 18:15
  And I felt broken.
• 18:17
  And this is the first open
• 18:19
  where I feel like,
• 18:21
  like I'm starting to come
• 18:23
  back and starting to feel
• 18:26
  like an athlete again.
• 18:29
  Um,
• 18:32
  I, it means a lot to me.
• 18:34
  It's a huge win for me.
• 18:36
  Um, I was telling,
• 18:38
  I texted with Carolyn and
• 18:40
  Jamie last night, um,
• 18:42
  telling them like my
• 18:43
  feelings of tearing up a little bit.
• 18:47
  Um, cause when you feel broken,
• 18:49
  like you just feel helpless.
• 18:51
  And the fact that like this year, um,
• 18:55
  since I had was in the
• 18:56
  hospital with a fib right
• 18:58
  before last year's open, um,
• 19:01
  I pretty much quit drinking.
• 19:02
  I've only had like two or
• 19:03
  three drinks in the year plus since then.
• 19:08
  I have really focused on my
• 19:11
  own health and my wife's health.
• 19:14
  I've not been doing crazy hard workouts,
• 19:17
  but just trying to move and
• 19:18
  trying to get better and really just...
• 19:22
  not hurting myself so that I
• 19:24
  can't go back the next day,
• 19:26
  like being smart about everything.
• 19:29
  Um, and, uh, really,
• 19:33
  really focus on being smart
• 19:36
  about every workout.
• 19:37
  So the next day I can be
• 19:40
  back in the gym doing at least something.
• 19:46
  So, um, that has made me super happy and,
• 19:52
  um, really excited.
• 19:55
  Now,
• 19:55
  what I did find out is to get to level
• 19:57
  three,
• 19:58
  you have to have a twenty two percent.
• 20:00
  So I'm so close to level three.
• 20:05
  But now I've got goals, right?
• 20:07
  So next year,
• 20:07
  the goal is to move from
• 20:10
  twenty percent level two up
• 20:12
  into at least twenty two
• 20:14
  percent to get that level
• 20:16
  three and keep moving up
• 20:18
  that that ladder.
• 20:21
  And to me,
• 20:22
  like it all kind of sunk in last
• 20:24
  night that this is what the
• 20:26
  Community Cup is about, right?
• 20:29
  Because now it makes it, for me,
• 20:31
  an easy goal of moving up
• 20:33
  in those divisions through
• 20:36
  the Community Cup.
• 20:38
  Because honestly,
• 20:40
  I'm super stoked that I
• 20:42
  improved this much,
• 20:43
  but I hate the fact that
• 20:44
  I'm in the group called
• 20:45
  rookies when I've been
• 20:47
  doing CrossFit since two thousand eleven.
• 20:49
  I am just a couple hair
• 20:51
  percentage points away from level three,
• 20:54
  moving up to the next level
• 20:56
  or the next competition in the CUNY Cup.
• 20:59
  But right now I'm sitting
• 21:02
  just at that underneath threshold,
• 21:06
  two percentage points away.
• 21:08
  And I'm ready to move past it,
• 21:10
  but it gives me goals for
• 21:12
  next year and much more
• 21:13
  easy goals to understand
• 21:15
  than just a wide ass
• 21:16
  leaderboard with a bunch of
• 21:18
  people and trying to look
• 21:20
  at numbers on that.
• 21:22
  This one,
• 21:23
  this actually gives me like something.
• 21:27
  to shoot for that's
• 21:28
  realistic and easy to understand.
• 21:31
  And I hope that the
• 21:33
  Community Cup takes shape
• 21:37
  and people start to
• 21:37
  understand that as a community.
• 21:39
  And I think it can do a lot
• 21:41
  to help grow the community
• 21:43
  once they start to
• 21:44
  understand all of this.
• 21:47
  And I don't know if you guys are with me.
• 21:49
  I hope you guys all jump
• 21:50
  into the Community Cup that
• 21:51
  did the Open because I
• 21:53
  think it's something that
• 21:55
  the community at large
• 21:57
  needs to be a part of and
• 21:59
  needs to understand and see
• 22:01
  those small goals to get
• 22:03
  them to the big goal.
• 22:13
  Um, so Aaron, where do I see my level?
• 22:16
  That's hard.
• 22:17
  So I had to go back to,
• 22:19
  to CrossFit's announcement
• 22:20
  of the community cup.
• 22:22
  Uh,
• 22:22
  it's around when Dave announced like that,
• 22:25
  there'll be these five divisions, um,
• 22:28
  with rookie elite.
• 22:31
  I can't even remember what they all are.
• 22:34
  had to go back to look at
• 22:35
  that and in there there's a
• 22:36
  chart that says like
• 22:38
  percentage points x to x is
• 22:42
  level one x to x is two x
• 22:46
  to x is three and so on and
• 22:48
  so forth so I had to like
• 22:50
  do a cross match
• 22:51
  between what my percentage
• 22:53
  point was from the app.
• 22:56
  And if you have the app and
• 22:57
  you just open it up,
• 22:58
  it tells you what your percentile is.
• 23:00
  And you can see it worldwide, U.S.,
• 23:05
  North... I have... Not North.
• 23:08
  North America East.
• 23:11
  It even has my gym percentage.
• 23:14
  So...
• 23:16
  That's where you get the percentage.
• 23:17
  Then you have to go back to
• 23:18
  the chart that CrossFit released.
• 23:21
  And I think you can Google
• 23:23
  community cup divisions and
• 23:26
  the article will pop up.
• 23:28
  And then you can look at the
• 23:28
  chart and see where you fit in that.
• 23:33
  Hopefully,
• 23:34
  if they're going to dive in and
• 23:37
  finally use these levels,
• 23:38
  it'd be nice if that popped
• 23:40
  up on the app with your percentile.
• 23:46
  but right now, uh, the,
• 23:47
  the only way I could do it was, uh,
• 23:50
  to do the cross match.
• 23:55
  So I hope that helps.
• 23:57
  Um, but, uh,
• 24:03
  any other big stories from the
• 24:04
  open from you guys love to
• 24:06
  hear anything that you guys had or any,
• 24:08
  any goals you reached,
• 24:10
  any success stories you've had.
• 24:12
  Um, I think that, um,
• 24:16
  we need to share those
• 24:17
  because they're just awesome.
• 24:19
  Um,
• 24:20
  and can't wait for the community cup to
• 24:25
  come and, uh, put it out there and see,
• 24:30
  see how I do against the
• 24:32
  people in my division.
• 24:37
  So with that,
• 24:39
  the last thing I have on my rundown,
• 24:42
  which I don't even really have a rundown,
• 24:44
  um, is that
• 24:47
  I did create a Clydesdale
• 24:49
  media bracket competition
• 24:52
  bracket league on ESPN's fantasy home.
• 24:57
  If you want to join the
• 24:59
  Clydesdale media group,
• 25:01
  I put the link in the
• 25:03
  description of this on
• 25:05
  YouTube and I will put it
• 25:07
  also on the audio format of
• 25:09
  this and you can click on
• 25:11
  that link and the password
• 25:13
  to get into our group is just Scott.
• 25:17
  capital S-C-O-T-T.
• 25:20
  And then
• 25:22
  And there's a men's bracket
• 25:23
  and a women's bracket.
• 25:25
  I will take the points you
• 25:27
  earn from both brackets,
• 25:28
  add them together,
• 25:30
  and then I will put
• 25:31
  together a prize pack for
• 25:33
  the winner of our bracket
• 25:35
  challenge that we do here.
• 25:37
  But I just thought it'd be
• 25:39
  something fun to do as a
• 25:40
  little community that we
• 25:41
  have here and we can see
• 25:43
  how each other's doing, talk some smack.
• 25:47
  All of that,
• 25:48
  and it makes it a little bit
• 25:49
  fun to watch some of the
• 25:50
  games this weekend coming up,
• 25:52
  but it's out there on ESPN.com.
• 25:56
  Again,
• 25:56
  the links are in the description of
• 25:59
  this YouTube video.
• 26:03
  And I set it up on my work
• 26:04
  computer or I would have
• 26:05
  cut and paste it into the comments,
• 26:07
  but I tried to do that before.
• 26:09
  And I actually had another
• 26:10
  fantasy account on my personal computer.
• 26:14
  And so now it's all jacked up.
• 26:15
  I have to figure out how to
• 26:17
  merge that somehow.
• 26:19
  But anyway,
• 26:21
  check that out in the description below.
• 26:23
  Hit the link.
• 26:25
  Again,
• 26:26
  it'll take you to the Clydesdale
• 26:27
  media league,
• 26:28
  and then you just type in
• 26:29
  the password Scott for both
• 26:31
  the men and the women, um,
• 26:33
  fill out those brackets.
• 26:34
  I will take the composite
• 26:36
  score of the two events,
• 26:38
  and then I will put
• 26:39
  together a prize pack for the winner.
• 26:42
  Um, yeah.
• 26:45
  And I think I'm going to try
• 26:46
  to put together something
• 26:47
  pretty fun and something
• 26:48
  unique that you wouldn't be
• 26:49
  able to get anywhere else.
• 26:50
  So, uh,
• 26:53
  do that we'll have some fun
• 26:55
  we'll talk some smack uh
• 26:57
  we'll see which one of us
• 26:58
  uh can pick the basketball
• 27:00
  games the best that should
• 27:03
  be fun uh Ken says I'll DM
• 27:07
  you my address just send me
• 27:08
  the prize pack now I will
• 27:12
  there's a reason they play the games
• 27:18
  I can put this down.
• 27:20
  I did RX workout with thirty
• 27:22
  inch box jumps last night.
• 27:23
  So far this morning,
• 27:24
  I've reserved and canceled
• 27:25
  for today's workout twice.
• 27:28
  Yeah, that's I think that's what I was.
• 27:30
  I was going through a lot
• 27:31
  before this past year was I
• 27:34
  was trying to do as close
• 27:36
  to RX as possible every single day.
• 27:39
  And at fifty five,
• 27:40
  my body just can't do that anymore.
• 27:44
  So I
• 27:49
  I just decided that if I
• 27:50
  felt good that day, I would do something.
• 27:54
  I would try to go for
• 27:55
  something more intense.
• 27:56
  If I wasn't feeling it that day,
• 27:59
  I just would back way off and just move,
• 28:03
  do some kind of workout
• 28:05
  that hits the same stimulus,
• 28:07
  scale it back enough just
• 28:09
  so I could go every single day.
• 28:12
  And it was a long time for
• 28:14
  me to check that ego.
• 28:15
  I will tell you,
• 28:17
  I've been fighting that
• 28:18
  since two thousand.
• 28:20
  So I first injured my back
• 28:21
  in twenty sixteen.
• 28:23
  Since then,
• 28:24
  I've been fighting my ego with it.
• 28:28
  So what?
• 28:28
  Almost ten years.
• 28:29
  And then finally, in this last year,
• 28:31
  I learned that I just can't
• 28:33
  do that anymore.
• 28:36
  If I want to keep going,
• 28:38
  if I want to be healthy the
• 28:39
  rest of my life,
• 28:40
  I need to listen to my body.
• 28:45
  Train to live.
• 28:46
  I love this year's Open.
• 28:47
  Sad there's no quarterfinals this year,
• 28:50
  but excited for the Community Cup.
• 28:52
  Yeah.
• 28:53
  I think we just have to shift.
• 28:55
  And now you could win your
• 28:58
  bracket area of division or
• 29:00
  whatever that is.
• 29:02
  And just see how you stand
• 29:03
  up against people kind of
• 29:04
  in the same place you are right now.
• 29:09
  And Aaron backs me up.
• 29:11
  Ken, just show up.
• 29:14
  Even if you scale it,
• 29:15
  it'll help flush your muscles.
• 29:17
  Yeah.
• 29:17
  What's nice about Polaris is
• 29:20
  if I felt really bad and
• 29:23
  they would let me just hop
• 29:24
  on a C two bike and just flush out,
• 29:26
  flush everything out.
• 29:28
  Like if I felt so bad I
• 29:29
  couldn't do any part of the workout,
• 29:32
  they'd let me sit on a
• 29:33
  machine or hit one of the
• 29:35
  air runners and just kind
• 29:37
  of flush it all out.
• 29:40
  But I think that that's the
• 29:44
  best case scenario.
• 29:44
  Just keep showing up, man,
• 29:47
  and figure out where you're
• 29:48
  going to put the workout
• 29:49
  that day so that you can
• 29:51
  keep going forward.
• 29:58
  Holly knows nothing about basketball,
• 30:00
  but let's go.
• 30:02
  Yeah, I'll be honest.
• 30:04
  I've watched more of the
• 30:05
  women's tournament,
• 30:06
  more of the women's games
• 30:07
  this year than the men's.
• 30:09
  They just show up on my TV a
• 30:11
  lot more now on my local antenna.
• 30:17
  I don't think I've watched a
• 30:19
  men's game at all this year.
• 30:21
  Um,
• 30:22
  what I've done for the past couple of
• 30:23
  days is just kind of watch
• 30:24
  the experts talk about it
• 30:26
  and hope from what they're
• 30:28
  saying that I could put
• 30:29
  together some assembly of a bracket.
• 30:32
  So you all will probably
• 30:34
  whoop me this year.
• 30:40
  Uh, Greg says community cup is better.
• 30:44
  Well, community cup just allows everybody.
• 30:46
  I could never make
• 30:46
  quarterfinals in the
• 30:48
  twentieth percentile.
• 30:49
  I can make the community cup
• 30:51
  and I can go against people
• 30:52
  that are at the same level
• 30:54
  I am and I can see where I stack up.
• 30:58
  So, yeah, I in some aspects,
• 31:00
  I think it is really good.
• 31:01
  I think if you are someone
• 31:03
  striving to be successful.
• 31:07
  upper tier or elite the
• 31:09
  quarterfinals was a way for
• 31:11
  you to judge where you are
• 31:13
  and a big goal to have to
• 31:15
  make that so I can see the
• 31:18
  argument in both senses but
• 31:20
  I think this actually
• 31:22
  allows more of us to have
• 31:24
  the opportunity to have a
• 31:26
  next phase and to see where
• 31:28
  we are and to compete again
• 31:30
  during the year
• 31:32
  And it's funny because, you know,
• 31:34
  there's competition now for
• 31:35
  CrossFit and they're basing
• 31:40
  a lot of what they're doing
• 31:41
  on keeping the community
• 31:42
  more involved throughout a
• 31:44
  longer part of the year.
• 31:46
  And that's what the
• 31:46
  Community Cup is doing.
• 31:49
  So it actually, you know,
• 31:51
  I heard Saxon on the thing,
• 31:53
  the interview the other day,
• 31:55
  say that they wanted to do
• 31:57
  like monthly competitions
• 31:59
  with the WFP and their affiliates.
• 32:03
  well CrossFit put the
• 32:04
  community cup in before
• 32:05
  this and it's kind of
• 32:06
  mirroring that only over
• 32:08
  four quarters instead of two.
• 32:11
  Um, so I don't know.
• 32:14
  I think like,
• 32:16
  I think the competition is
• 32:18
  going to be good for
• 32:18
  CrossFit to keep coming up
• 32:21
  with ideas like this,
• 32:22
  to keep us all involved for
• 32:24
  longer parts of the year.
• 32:28
  Um, but we'll see,
• 32:29
  we'll see how it all plays out.
• 32:31
  Um,
• 32:34
  I just hope if they're going to do it,
• 32:36
  it's tough because they put
• 32:37
  out these really good ideas.
• 32:38
  They're doing much better media.
• 32:40
  They're doing all this stuff.
• 32:41
  And then, okay, we're up for sale.
• 32:45
  Or if you believe what I
• 32:46
  believe they've been up for sale and, uh,
• 32:51
  And they're close to a deal.
• 32:53
  What are the new owners
• 32:54
  going to do with all these
• 32:55
  ideas that have been coming
• 32:56
  out and doing things better this year?
• 33:00
  A lot of the things we've
• 33:01
  asked for CrossFit is implementing.
• 33:05
  I hope we don't lose that
• 33:06
  momentum through the sale.
• 33:10
  And I know we haven't talked
• 33:11
  a lot about the sale.
• 33:13
  Um, we,
• 33:14
  we got out over our skis the other
• 33:16
  night on the Sunday night
• 33:17
  show with a lot of other topics.
• 33:20
  Uh,
• 33:20
  but hopefully we'll be able to hit the
• 33:21
  sale in the upcoming weeks
• 33:23
  and we'll know more about
• 33:24
  the sale and be able to
• 33:25
  talk about it a little bit better.
• 33:27
  Um, but that, that is one of my concerns.
• 33:31
  Uh,
• 33:34
  that it's one of my big
• 33:35
  concerns that there is a
• 33:37
  momentum going in the right
• 33:38
  direction from CrossFit,
• 33:40
  and I don't want that
• 33:40
  momentum to stop because of the sale.
• 33:44
  But I do believe they need to sell.
• 33:46
  I don't think Berkshire is
• 33:49
  invested in this long-term,
• 33:51
  and just because we have a
• 33:53
  short run of good ideas
• 33:55
  doesn't mean Berkshire will
• 33:57
  allow those ideas to continue.
• 33:59
  I'm just hoping the new owners will.
• 34:02
  Sarah to completely agree.
• 34:05
  The CrossFit produced BTS
• 34:07
  from twenty five.
• 34:07
  Three was so good.
• 34:09
  So good.
• 34:11
  I think it captured.
• 34:15
  I think it captured Dallin
• 34:16
  and Jason and James so well
• 34:20
  and the way that they love
• 34:22
  on each other and that they
• 34:23
  beat they trash on each other.
• 34:26
  Yeah.
• 34:30
  And that they're just like
• 34:31
  three dudes hanging out.
• 34:34
  And then for me,
• 34:35
  the highlight of it was
• 34:37
  Grace Ann finding Dave's
• 34:38
  clue in the real world and
• 34:42
  pointing it out to Jason.
• 34:44
  And then Dave admitting that
• 34:46
  that is how he found the clue.
• 34:48
  And that he had to run from
• 34:49
  the shower naked to get his
• 34:51
  phone to take a picture of
• 34:54
  it or film it for the clue on Instagram.
• 34:59
  I thought that was...
• 35:01
  Because we've never really
• 35:03
  got a behind the scenes of
• 35:04
  the Dave Castro clue.
• 35:08
  And so that was like a
• 35:09
  little bonus in this twenty
• 35:11
  three point three behind the scenes.
• 35:14
  I think the only miss on that was.
• 35:18
  They had done all the other
• 35:19
  stuff up until the cool
• 35:21
  down show when James and
• 35:24
  his dad talked about.
• 35:27
  CrossFit saving their lives,
• 35:29
  I thought that should have
• 35:30
  been a key component at the
• 35:31
  very end of that video.
• 35:33
  It would have been the
• 35:34
  perfect ending to what they
• 35:38
  had put together.
• 35:41
  And they didn't add it to
• 35:42
  that behind the scenes.
• 35:44
  If they would have added
• 35:45
  that to the behind the scenes,
• 35:49
  that it would have been flawless.
• 35:52
  Flawless.
• 35:52
  Flawless.
• 35:54
  Everything else was great.
• 35:56
  And it doesn't mean that it
• 35:58
  wasn't great anyway.
• 36:00
  But man,
• 36:00
  they could have gone just like
• 36:01
  that one tick higher if
• 36:03
  they would have put that
• 36:04
  piece in about CrossFit
• 36:08
  saving James's dad's life
• 36:09
  from alcoholism.
• 36:12
  That would have been a huge component.
• 36:16
  But other than that,
• 36:18
  that's just me wanting more.
• 36:21
  And I guess their media is
• 36:23
  getting to a place where it's so good,
• 36:25
  I want more.
• 36:28
  And that is a good thing.
• 36:33
  It's funny because...
• 36:35
  I'm being trolled a lot
• 36:37
  these days whenever I say
• 36:39
  anything about the WFP, and that's fine.
• 36:41
  People can say whatever they want to me.
• 36:44
  They can do that.
• 36:46
  But what is funny to me is
• 36:48
  that when I critique media,
• 36:52
  I'm a viewer just like anybody else.
• 36:54
  It's not like Siskel and
• 36:55
  Ebert ever made a movie and
• 36:58
  had to be an expert in
• 37:00
  making movies to then
• 37:01
  critique the movie they're watching.
• 37:04
  I've watched so much
• 37:05
  CrossFit videos and so many
• 37:07
  CrossFit videos and so much
• 37:08
  media that I think I am
• 37:10
  capable of saying whether I
• 37:12
  like something or I don't.
• 37:15
  That behind the scenes was two thumbs up,
• 37:19
  five stars, whatever you want to say.
• 37:22
  It was so good.
• 37:24
  And when I give it a little criticism,
• 37:26
  it doesn't mean I didn't
• 37:27
  like it because I loved it.
• 37:29
  It just means I just wanted
• 37:32
  that little step more.
• 37:33
  When I say that the WFP's
• 37:35
  video of the Beyond the
• 37:38
  Athlete was nothing groundbreaking,
• 37:43
  it was entertaining, it was short,
• 37:45
  but it didn't give me
• 37:47
  anything more than what
• 37:50
  I've seen in other videos.
• 37:53
  And I may have learned a little bit,
• 37:54
  but not a ton more about the athletes.
• 37:58
  So,
• 38:00
  I've watched so many of these things,
• 38:01
  so many of the behind the scenes,
• 38:03
  so many of the road to the games,
• 38:05
  so many of the documentaries.
• 38:07
  Um, I think I,
• 38:09
  I can say whether I liked or
• 38:11
  didn't like something and why,
• 38:15
  and I know I have this one
• 38:17
  troll and it's just one troll.
• 38:20
  Most of you are lovely and you,
• 38:22
  you are awesome.
• 38:23
  And I love hanging out with
• 38:24
  you all the time.
• 38:26
  Um,
• 38:30
  Sarah said she didn't watch the one,
• 38:32
  but she got to see the Jeff
• 38:33
  Adler one before it was taken down.
• 38:35
  It was meh.
• 38:36
  No one missed anything.
• 38:38
  Yeah.
• 38:38
  I wish I would.
• 38:39
  I just wish I could have
• 38:40
  seen it to be able to say
• 38:42
  whether it was good or not.
• 38:47
  and my thing with anything
• 38:49
  buttery bros is it all of, and I, man,
• 38:52
  I was the biggest buttery
• 38:53
  bros fan in the world back in the day,
• 38:55
  but their stuff is kind of
• 38:57
  down the same vein.
• 39:00
  Um,
• 39:01
  now they know the formula that works
• 39:04
  for them and they,
• 39:05
  they do it as good as
• 39:06
  anybody and they just keep doing it.
• 39:10
  Um, uh, Jose, yes, it is still down.
• 39:21
  Uh,
• 39:22
  butter bros have done one on him before.
• 39:23
  I think it was the exact same.
• 39:25
  It probably didn't have as
• 39:26
  much games footage in it.
• 39:27
  And that's why it was taken down.
• 39:30
  I've said this on the last
• 39:31
  couple of shows.
• 39:33
  Um,
• 39:33
  when we sign a media agreement with the
• 39:34
  CrossFit games, we have, um, uh,
• 39:42
  We have strict regulations
• 39:44
  about how much of the
• 39:45
  footage that we take at the
• 39:47
  games can be used in a
• 39:49
  single project and how long
• 39:53
  each clip can be.
• 39:55
  And I'm only guessing here,
• 39:56
  but because of that thing
• 39:57
  that I've signed and that
• 39:59
  it got taken down for copyright,
• 40:01
  that has to be in my opinion
• 40:04
  why it was taken down from
• 40:06
  everybody I've talked to
• 40:07
  that got to see it there
• 40:08
  was a ton of games footage
• 40:10
  in um that jeff adler piece
• 40:13
  and uh so um so I think
• 40:21
  that's why I was taken down
• 40:24
  And again,
• 40:24
  the Buttery Bros are so good at
• 40:26
  what they do.
• 40:26
  I'm not taking anything away from them.
• 40:28
  But as someone who has watched them since.
• 40:31
  Twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen.
• 40:33
  It just is the kind of the
• 40:34
  same note every year now
• 40:36
  when they do the documentaries.
• 40:43
  Sarah, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 40:46
  That is a copyright
• 40:47
  infringement because you
• 40:48
  signed an agreement from
• 40:49
  CrossFit that you would not
• 40:51
  use any of the images or
• 40:53
  the broadcast or anything
• 40:57
  like that for any purpose other than
• 41:02
  whatever.
• 41:02
  And then you have very strict,
• 41:04
  what you could only use
• 41:05
  like three minutes of footage in a,
• 41:07
  in a big project.
• 41:07
  And you can only do thirty
• 41:09
  second clips of any one, um, event.
• 41:13
  Um, it is very, very, uh, strict.
• 41:24
  Um, Jose says,
• 41:27
  that's why I tried to do my best, uh,
• 41:29
  BTS for Emily Rall for the fans.
• 41:31
  Yeah.
• 41:33
  yeah we like all the bts
• 41:35
  stuff that we do uh across
• 41:37
  the space is for the fans
• 41:39
  um petra clark keeps in
• 41:41
  here we get to talk to
• 41:42
  these guys all the time and
• 41:44
  I I don't mean to say it that way
• 41:46
  We have access to them and
• 41:48
  we talk to them a lot,
• 41:51
  but the fans don't.
• 41:52
  And that's what behind the
• 41:53
  scenes is trying to do.
• 41:55
  You're trying to show more
• 41:56
  of what is available about these athletes,
• 42:01
  more about where they came from,
• 42:02
  more about why they do what they do.
• 42:06
  To me, I view myself as a storyteller.
• 42:09
  I just want to tell everybody's story.
• 42:12
  That's why I do it.
• 42:14
  I love to hear the stories
• 42:15
  of what made them who they are,
• 42:18
  where they came from, what they overcame.
• 42:22
  That's the stuff I find the most rewarding,
• 42:27
  either doing content or watching content.
• 42:38
  And just like Jose, I'm a fan myself.
• 42:40
  I really am.
• 42:45
  so with that my lunch hour
• 42:48
  is just about up so get
• 42:51
  back to work you hooligans
• 42:53
  we'll see you next time on
• 42:55
