  How y'all are?
• 0:38
  Welcome to Cookin' Cajun
• 0:40
  with Corey on a Tuesday.
• 0:42
  And you say, Tuesday?
• 0:44
  But Corey's my Wednesday fix.
• 0:47
  Well,
• 0:47
  we had to move him to Tuesday because
• 0:50
  I had Pete Shaw on today, later.
• 0:53
  But then my job made me get
• 0:55
  a meeting scheduled for the
• 0:58
  same time Pete was to be on.
• 1:01
  So I had to move Pete to
• 1:02
  tomorrow at lunch and then
• 1:05
  move Corey to Tuesday.
• 1:08
  And now I have to go to this
• 1:08
  stupid meeting this afternoon.
• 1:11
  And that's my week.
• 1:16
  Scott's juggling people.
• 1:22
  It's fantastic.
• 1:23
  juggling with people, lots of texts,
• 1:25
  lots of calendar invites sent out.
• 1:28
  And yes, Judy Reed, dumb work.
• 1:32
  Dumb work.
• 1:34
  I don't mind people meeting,
• 1:36
  but I got a life.
• 1:37
  Let me know what my meetings
• 1:38
  are ahead of time.
• 1:39
  Don't hit me with a surprise meeting.
• 1:42
  my wife's the same way they
• 1:44
  have so many meetings at
• 1:44
  work calls blah blah blah
• 1:47
  whatever and she's like
• 1:49
  ninety percent of them
• 1:50
  don't need to happen like
• 1:52
  we would get so much more
• 1:53
  work done if we actually do
• 1:54
  our work instead of going
• 1:55
  and having a meeting to
• 1:56
  talk about doing our work
• 1:58
  it's ridiculous it's funny
• 2:00
  I just got out of a meeting
• 2:01
  literally like at twelve oh five
• 2:04
  When I hold that meeting,
• 2:05
  when my partner is off and
• 2:07
  I hold it myself,
• 2:09
  we are in and out of that
• 2:10
  meeting in fifteen minutes.
• 2:12
  Today was sixty-five minutes.
• 2:16
  Is everybody good?
• 2:17
  Yeah.
• 2:17
  All right.
• 2:21
  Great.
• 2:21
  That's my kind of meeting, Scott.
• 2:23
  I do not dick around.
• 2:25
  I am in and out.
• 2:30
  Last time we were talking about it,
• 2:33
  none of that matters.
• 2:37
  What's happening right now?
• 2:38
  Everybody who's here
• 2:39
  remembers what happened last week.
• 2:40
  That's fantastic.
• 2:41
  Let's talk about what's
• 2:43
  happening right now.
• 2:44
  If there's not anything to talk about,
• 2:45
  let's move on.
• 2:46
  Don't need to bring out hypotheticals.
• 2:48
  It ain't ever going to happen.
• 2:52
  Yeah.
• 2:54
  That kind of stuff drives me bananas,
• 2:56
  especially with the work that I do.
• 2:59
  Well, what if, bro,
• 3:00
  you are describing a
• 3:01
  scenario that is probably
• 3:03
  never going to happen outside of a movie?
• 3:05
  So my first professional job.
• 3:09
  was was essentially osha I
• 3:11
  was the department of
• 3:12
  safety with with the state
• 3:13
  of florida doing stat stats
• 3:16
  and information for how
• 3:18
  people got hurt at work
• 3:20
  right it was part of the
• 3:21
  national program we would
• 3:22
  go to these national
• 3:23
  conferences and we would
• 3:25
  talk about like how do you
• 3:26
  classify different injuries
• 3:29
  and there's this guy from
• 3:29
  boston he's at everyone and
• 3:31
  he brings it up at every
• 3:32
  meeting well I have
• 3:36
  I have these fishermen that
• 3:37
  go out and they do lobster
• 3:39
  fishing and then they get
• 3:42
  what's called crab asthma.
• 3:44
  And if I, they get crab asthma,
• 3:46
  how do I classify that as an injury?
• 3:48
  So whenever anybody brought
• 3:49
  up a stupid idea,
• 3:51
  we just started calling it
• 3:52
  another crab asthma.
• 3:56
  What could that possibly be?
• 4:00
  Crab asthma.
• 4:02
  It it's, it is real.
• 4:05
  it is a real illness that
• 4:06
  you can get on like fishing boats, but,
• 4:11
  but it never happens.
• 4:12
  Like, and it only, only in like,
• 4:17
  if like you ain't getting
• 4:18
  crab asthma in Nebraska and
• 4:21
  they don't care.
• 4:22
  Yeah.
• 4:24
  Nobody in Arizona is getting crab,
• 4:25
  crab asthma.
• 4:26
  It's not happening.
• 4:27
  Right.
• 4:31
  So then that just became
• 4:32
  like the catchphrase for
• 4:35
  all stupid questions.
• 4:37
  Oh, I love it.
• 4:39
  I absolutely love it.
• 4:40
  Talking about safety dudes.
• 4:41
  Look, when I was, uh,
• 4:43
  we're construction driving
• 4:44
  problems back in the day, we, uh,
• 4:45
  we had a job in a plant around here,
• 4:47
  excuse me.
• 4:48
  And the first day we were there,
• 4:51
  we met the safety guy that was on site.
• 4:52
  Right.
• 4:53
  And now he's now, you know, how tall I am,
• 4:56
  which is not very right.
• 4:57
  And this dude came up to me
• 4:59
  like right here with his hard hat on.
• 5:01
  Nice guy,
• 5:02
  big red horn hat said preacher
• 5:05
  right here across the front of it.
• 5:06
  Right.
• 5:07
  So, um,
• 5:10
  because we had some turnover and
• 5:12
  whatnot in our job,
• 5:13
  like everybody on the job sites, Joe,
• 5:15
  it's just easier.
• 5:16
  Right.
• 5:17
  I don't have to remember Scott, Jeffrey,
• 5:19
  Helson, Judy,
• 5:20
  like everybody's Joe doesn't matter.
• 5:23
  So he walks up to us and he
• 5:24
  introduces himself, blah, blah, blah,
• 5:25
  whatever.
• 5:26
  He said, the guy over here is like,
• 5:27
  I Joe appreciate it.
• 5:29
  We got stuff to do.
• 5:29
  And he goes, no, no, no, no, man.
• 5:31
  They call me preacher.
• 5:34
  And we was like, hi, Joe.
• 5:36
  And he's like, no, man, my name's not Joe.
• 5:39
  They call me preacher.
• 5:40
  And he points at it on his hard hat.
• 5:45
  And I said, hi, Joe.
• 5:48
  And like one more time,
• 5:50
  getting kind of irate.
• 5:52
  And he said, man, they call me preacher.
• 5:55
  And I said, well, on this job,
• 5:57
  you're going to be Joe.
• 5:59
  And like,
• 5:59
  we just left and went about our stuff.
• 6:00
  It took him about three days
• 6:02
  before he realized that
• 6:03
  everybody out there was Joe
• 6:04
  and he was okay.
• 6:07
  So I understand.
• 6:13
  I've,
• 6:13
  I've been showing my job now for
• 6:14
  enough time.
• 6:17
  But my daughter's doing
• 6:18
  something really cool today.
• 6:20
  I'm very proud of her.
• 6:21
  She's in the Yellowstone,
• 6:24
  the National Park.
• 6:26
  She's a photographer for a company.
• 6:29
  They sell bear-proof coolers.
• 6:33
  They're going to Yellowstone.
• 6:34
  They're putting their
• 6:35
  coolers out there for the
• 6:36
  bears to come get it.
• 6:37
  They're going to film to see
• 6:41
  if they can get in their
• 6:42
  bear-proof coolers.
• 6:45
  It's funny you should mention that.
• 6:47
  One of my...
• 6:48
  The last dude that I was a roommate with,
• 6:51
  Matt, he got a,
• 6:55
  that was one of the
• 6:57
  features or whatever of the
• 6:59
  Yeti that somebody had
• 7:00
  bought him for some reason
• 7:02
  was that it was bear proof.
• 7:04
  And so the running joke at
• 7:05
  the house was that, I mean,
• 7:06
  ain't no bears around here so far.
• 7:07
  He's doing his damn job.
• 7:10
  And he texted me, I shit you not,
• 7:11
  last week with a picture of the,
• 7:14
  and he said, still ain't seen no bears.
• 7:16
  I feel like I'm doing it.
• 7:17
  I feel like this thing really,
• 7:18
  we got our money's worth out of it.
• 7:23
  Andrew, next time I see Corey,
• 7:24
  I'm calling him Joe.
• 7:25
  You should.
• 7:26
  You should.
• 7:27
  Let me tell you something.
• 7:28
  It has taken a concerted
• 7:29
  effort of will since I got
• 7:32
  out of the crane,
• 7:33
  out of construction and
• 7:34
  doing what I do now,
• 7:35
  which is an office setting,
• 7:36
  to not still call everybody Joe.
• 7:38
  Like even when I'm at the gym,
• 7:40
  It sometimes just naturally comes out.
• 7:42
  I did it for fifteen years, dude,
• 7:44
  like it was a long time.
• 7:45
  So I can tell you right now, Drew,
• 7:48
  first of all,
• 7:48
  happy birthday from this weekend.
• 7:50
  Secondly, if you call me, Joe,
• 7:51
  I can promise you I'll answer.
• 7:53
  Yeah, just be prepared to get it back.
• 8:03
  Jay Burch Yellowstone
• 8:03
  National Park is going to
• 8:04
  allow that they have made
• 8:06
  the arrangements with the
• 8:08
  with the company with the
• 8:09
  National Park but what's
• 8:16
  going on Jay Burch Judy
• 8:17
  Reed see me rolling I think
• 8:22
  that was see my boobs right
• 8:24
  It is.
• 8:25
  All right.
• 8:26
  Cool.
• 8:26
  I've got Andrew Stan.
• 8:27
  We got Aaron Frazier.
• 8:30
  We got Helson.
• 8:31
  What's going on, everybody?
• 8:32
  So cool that you guys are
• 8:33
  all with us today.
• 8:34
  Outstanding.
• 8:40
  Dad took a new Sprinter van out,
• 8:42
  so SEMA boobs should return soon.
• 8:51
  So, before we get into the CrossFit stuff,
• 8:54
  like we haven't talked enough already,
• 8:57
  LSU National Champions.
• 9:00
  Did you see any of the press
• 9:03
  conferences with the Coastal Carolina?
• 9:09
  He's got a little girl enough to do it.
• 9:11
  He was like, our motto is CrossFit.
• 9:15
  and I'm paraphrasing here,
• 9:16
  so I'm not quoting him directly,
• 9:18
  but he basically said that
• 9:20
  our motto over here is
• 9:21
  personal responsibility,
• 9:22
  taking accountability,
• 9:23
  and then proceeded right
• 9:24
  after that to throw all the
• 9:26
  accountability off of
• 9:27
  himself and onto the umpires.
• 9:32
  Leading up to the actual two
• 9:35
  championship games,
• 9:37
  they had interviewed him
• 9:38
  and a couple of players and asked him,
• 9:39
  what do y'all admire about the LSU team?
• 9:45
  team like what you know that
• 9:46
  as far as their and then
• 9:48
  they said like there was a
• 9:50
  long awkward pause and they
• 9:51
  were like not much and then
• 9:55
  we proceeded to win two out
• 9:56
  of three right off like
• 9:57
  just basically sweep them
• 9:58
  in two out of three series
• 10:00
  so yep don't do shit like
• 10:06
  that like you are setting
• 10:07
  yourself up for failure
• 10:09
  well and you are coastal
• 10:10
  carolina you are not alabama
• 10:13
  Like,
• 10:14
  just be proud that you made the
• 10:15
  championship game.
• 10:17
  You haven't been here since
• 10:18
  twenty sixteen.
• 10:20
  Maybe or eighteen or two.
• 10:24
  Maybe you should settle down a little bit.
• 10:27
  But they went on a twenty
• 10:28
  six game winning streak.
• 10:30
  Like they won twenty six in a row.
• 10:33
  Good for them.
• 10:34
  Happy for them.
• 10:35
  But like at some point,
• 10:37
  you should probably tone it
• 10:38
  down a little bit.
• 10:40
  And realize that, yeah,
• 10:41
  you still got two games left to play.
• 10:42
  So maybe not talk shit.
• 10:43
  Yeah.
• 10:47
  Well,
• 10:47
  let's dive into some CrossFit stuff
• 10:49
  before we get too far into this.
• 10:54
  Last night, Dave's Week in Review,
• 10:56
  he announced that there
• 10:56
  would be two announcements today.
• 10:59
  We think we've seen one.
• 11:03
  And I think Aaron Frazier
• 11:03
  already referred to this in the comments.
• 11:08
  Say!
• 11:18
  Criss-cross applesauce.
• 11:20
  Criss-cross applesauce,
• 11:21
  my favorite thing to do.
• 11:24
  Yay.
• 11:24
  I still have a great video
• 11:28
  of one Mr. Corey Leonard
• 11:31
  doing criss-cross
• 11:32
  applesauce at the Masters
• 11:33
  Fitness Championships.
• 11:35
  Not well.
• 11:36
  It did not end well at all.
• 11:37
  It did not end well at all.
• 11:42
  On a related topic,
• 11:43
  before we get too far into
• 11:44
  this Chris Goss episodes,
• 11:45
  can we all agree that
• 11:45
  Allison Scuds is going to
• 11:47
  be the demo team captain
• 11:49
  basically for the rest of time?
• 11:52
  Yes.
• 11:54
  Okay.
• 11:55
  God bless her.
• 11:56
  I hope she makes, she's awesome.
• 11:59
  I really wish she would make the games,
• 12:00
  but as it stands right now, sweet baby,
• 12:04
  she's going to be a lot of
• 12:05
  these type videos.
• 12:07
  Can we also say that her
• 12:09
  partner and soon-to-be
• 12:10
  husband is a stud and so
• 12:13
  cool that he was on the
• 12:13
  show with us Sunday night?
• 12:15
  Absolutely.
• 12:17
  Absolutely.
• 12:19
  Absolutely.
• 12:21
  Having said that, I'm not mad at this.
• 12:28
  But didn't Dave say he hated it?
• 12:31
  Apparently he didn't hate it that much.
• 12:35
  Because here we are.
• 12:38
  It's funny.
• 12:38
  Part of it last night,
• 12:41
  I watched the rest of it this morning,
• 12:43
  and he was talking about
• 12:44
  teaching somebody
• 12:45
  double-unders and then
• 12:48
  talking about looking to
• 12:50
  see how their single-unders
• 12:52
  were first to see if you
• 12:53
  could teach them
• 12:54
  double-unders because I
• 12:54
  could teach you a whole lot.
• 12:56
  He said,
• 12:56
  in other high-skill stuff like
• 12:58
  crossovers and triple-unders,
• 13:01
  he even mentioned that.
• 13:02
  Today, we get this with the crossovers.
• 13:08
  Trinked Olive prefers triple unders.
• 13:14
  And Lito did confirm he did
• 13:16
  say he hated it.
• 13:17
  Yeah.
• 13:19
  Mr. Albernaz said, hey,
• 13:20
  demo people make more money
• 13:22
  than most games athletes.
• 13:26
  There you go.
• 13:28
  I mean,
• 13:28
  they got to pay them for all their time.
• 13:30
  I'd imagine like,
• 13:31
  you don't just fly them out
• 13:32
  there and have them testing
• 13:33
  stuff and living up there
• 13:34
  for however long they stay.
• 13:35
  Cause I mean,
• 13:36
  it's probably a pretty
• 13:38
  substantial amount of time I would think.
• 13:41
  And the guys that come out,
• 13:42
  twenty-ninth is probably
• 13:43
  not making as much money as
• 13:44
  the demo team people.
• 13:45
  I would probably, yeah,
• 13:46
  I would agree to that.
• 13:48
  Uh,
• 13:48
  Trained Olive laughs because if people
• 13:52
  don't know, uh,
• 13:54
  Trained Olive is Cajun for train to live.
• 13:56
  It is.
• 14:01
  and judy reed says and demo
• 14:02
  team's probably way more
• 14:03
  fun I would think so dude
• 14:06
  because like yeah you need
• 14:07
  to perform and you need to
• 14:08
  be able to to be at that
• 14:11
  level whatnot but like the
• 14:13
  pressure is off like you
• 14:14
  just need to go and show
• 14:16
  test these workouts show
• 14:18
  people how to do it when
• 14:19
  it's time for like and
• 14:21
  that's it you're gonna do
• 14:22
  like a round or two and
• 14:23
  then go on about your
• 14:23
  business get cleaned up get
• 14:25
  ready for the next one
• 14:26
  let's be honest though for
• 14:29
  For us jabronis,
• 14:31
  it's easy to say it'd be
• 14:32
  more fun and it pays more.
• 14:34
  But if you're a competitive athlete,
• 14:37
  then you want to grind.
• 14:38
  I don't want to be on the demo team.
• 14:39
  No, no.
• 14:41
  You want to grind.
• 14:42
  Yeah.
• 14:44
  I don't want to be on a demo team.
• 14:45
  God bless them.
• 14:47
  They are always – I mean,
• 14:48
  last year with – was it Allison, Colton?
• 14:55
  Who's the other two?
• 14:56
  What was her name?
• 14:57
  It was that young kid, wasn't it?
• 14:59
  Anika.
• 15:00
  Anika was on demo last year?
• 15:04
  Yeah.
• 15:04
  Worst year to be a demo team member ever.
• 15:07
  Unfortunately.
• 15:09
  Yeah.
• 15:11
  Sten says demo athletes work
• 15:13
  way harder than competitors.
• 15:15
  They're constantly testing
• 15:16
  even at the games.
• 15:17
  They are.
• 15:19
  It's crazy.
• 15:20
  Trista Smith.
• 15:20
  That's what I was trying to think of.
• 15:21
  Thank you, Judy Reed.
• 15:22
  Does this mean teams will
• 15:24
  have double darts?
• 15:28
  Double Dutch bus going down.
• 15:30
  Yes.
• 15:32
  Yes.
• 15:33
  Look, just sitting there getting after it.
• 15:37
  I am down with that idea.
• 15:38
  Let's make that happen.
• 15:39
  Whatever we need to do,
• 15:40
  whoever we need to call,
• 15:42
  let's make some calls.
• 15:43
  Let's send some emails out.
• 15:44
  Teams do double Dutch.
• 15:46
  And they have to, like, do the cadence.
• 15:50
  Like, and sing the whole time.
• 15:52
  I just want you to sing the song.
• 15:54
  As long as I get you singing the song,
• 15:56
  I'm all in, man.
• 15:58
  Signed.
• 15:59
  Signed, sealed, delivered.
• 16:01
  I love it.
• 16:02
  So that seems to be the only
• 16:04
  announcement that has come
• 16:05
  out from CrossFit Games so far today.
• 16:07
  Yeah.
• 16:08
  But he did say two
• 16:09
  announcements were coming out today.
• 16:12
  I'd love to know what the other one,
• 16:13
  like I don't even have an
• 16:14
  idea what it might be.
• 16:15
  Like maybe give you a hint
• 16:17
  towards a strength event.
• 16:20
  If it's something off the wall.
• 16:24
  It could be as simple as a sponsor.
• 16:27
  Right.
• 16:29
  Could be who bought CrossFit.
• 16:31
  You think they're going to
• 16:35
  make that public right now?
• 16:39
  How far out are we?
• 16:41
  Two months?
• 16:43
  Yeah, not even.
• 16:45
  Six, seven weeks?
• 16:46
  Six weeks?
• 16:47
  Be a bold choice, I think,
• 16:49
  to just go ahead and drop
• 16:50
  that bomb today on a random
• 16:54
  Tuesday at the end of June.
• 16:57
  Not saying that they won't
• 16:58
  because they've done crazier stuff.
• 17:03
  I think he said it didn't
• 17:03
  have anything to do with the sale.
• 17:04
  Oh, I know, Andrew.
• 17:06
  I'm just trying to create.
• 17:07
  Yeah,
• 17:08
  but we're trying to create drama here,
• 17:10
  Andrew.
• 17:13
  But Andrew's a lot of fun at parties.
• 17:15
  Yeah.
• 17:16
  Actually,
• 17:17
  he said it didn't have anything
• 17:18
  to do with the sale.
• 17:19
  We're trying to have a fun conversation.
• 17:21
  We're trying to be like keeping it real.
• 17:23
  No fact base.
• 17:24
  Just some stuff.
• 17:27
  None.
• 17:28
  I looked at what other people said.
• 17:31
  I looked at what other people said.
• 17:34
  I formed my own opinion,
• 17:36
  which was exactly the same as theirs.
• 17:37
  I just made a video about it.
• 17:45
  I hope I don't see you in Kansas, Andrew.
• 17:47
  I actually booked my plane
• 17:52
  tickets last night.
• 17:53
  We are all the way official, so
• 17:58
  So let's move on.
• 17:59
  Yes, sir.
• 18:01
  Someone did something pretty
• 18:01
  cool in the CrossFit space,
• 18:04
  and that is one Mr. James Sprague.
• 18:07
  Six weeks out from CrossFit Games,
• 18:10
  he decides to do an Ironman.
• 18:13
  That is crazy town banana pants.
• 18:18
  Are you kidding me?
• 18:20
  Bro.
• 18:21
  Did you see his time?
• 18:23
  Yeah.
• 18:24
  Insane for just a guy doing CrossFit.
• 18:31
  Yeah.
• 18:31
  And that's what,
• 18:33
  so that's a seven point three, right?
• 18:35
  That's a, that's a half Ironman,
• 18:36
  but still his swim time
• 18:42
  alone as someone who's been
• 18:43
  swimming and trying to
• 18:44
  actively learn how to swim
• 18:46
  for distance is that's, that's it.
• 18:49
  That's those are insane
• 18:50
  times for somebody who does CrossFit.
• 18:55
  I was a swimmer at a high end swimmer.
• 18:59
  doing hundred meter
• 19:01
  intervals on like a minute
• 19:06
  thirty would be insane in the pool.
• 19:10
  You said a minute
• 19:11
  thirty-five average in open water.
• 19:20
  Scott,
• 19:20
  I struggle to maintain a hundred and
• 19:23
  three and a half minutes.
• 19:26
  He was a swimmer though, wasn't he?
• 19:28
  Yes, he was.
• 19:30
  That is open water.
• 19:33
  I'm trying to tell you guys, in a pool,
• 19:36
  that's an insane pace.
• 19:39
  In open water, it is ridiculous time.
• 19:42
  Open water, competition,
• 19:44
  other people out there,
• 19:45
  all the factors thrown in there,
• 19:47
  that is bananas.
• 19:51
  I saw that and I was like,
• 19:53
  His chip timer went bananas.
• 19:56
  It went off some weird way.
• 19:58
  There's no way.
• 19:59
  I'm going to tell you something else too.
• 20:00
  If somebody has been riding
• 20:01
  their bike around the
• 20:01
  neighborhood a whole lot,
• 20:02
  like I can do ten miles.
• 20:04
  Now granted,
• 20:05
  I don't have a real fancy road bike.
• 20:06
  I have a semi-fancy mountain
• 20:09
  bike that I ride around.
• 20:11
  So I don't have road tires
• 20:13
  and clipping pedals, all that nonsense.
• 20:16
  But to average almost
• 20:17
  nineteen miles an hour, you truck it.
• 20:23
  you are, you are like, that's not,
• 20:26
  it's not lollygagging around.
• 20:28
  Um, I can do, I usually do,
• 20:32
  or like Sunday or Saturday,
• 20:33
  rather I did ten miles and
• 20:36
  it takes me just under
• 20:37
  forty minutes or just that
• 20:39
  forty minutes to do ten miles.
• 20:41
  That's averaging somewhere
• 20:42
  around fourteen miles an hour,
• 20:43
  fifteen miles an hour.
• 20:45
  And I am
• 20:48
  I'm not a fantastic biker,
• 20:49
  but I'm not terrible either.
• 20:50
  Like I know what it takes to
• 20:52
  hold that kind of pace for
• 20:53
  that amount of time.
• 20:54
  And what this is like a
• 20:55
  hundred and seventeen miles
• 20:56
  or something like that.
• 20:58
  It's a lot.
• 20:59
  It's a lot.
• 21:01
  And at eighteen,
• 21:02
  averaging eighteen point
• 21:03
  seven five miles per hour.
• 21:05
  That that's the part that
• 21:06
  that stands out to me like
• 21:07
  that is trucking, dude.
• 21:09
  That is that is moving right along.
• 21:11
  So this is my question.
• 21:12
  What can't this man do?
• 21:15
  I win games last year
• 21:16
  granted we had the lazar
• 21:18
  jukic tragedy and not
• 21:20
  everybody finished the
• 21:21
  games and he wins the games
• 21:24
  and everybody's like well
• 21:25
  he only did it because of
• 21:26
  the programming this guy
• 21:31
  qualified for the world
• 21:32
  championships in high rocks
• 21:34
  he just completed an iron
• 21:35
  man at an insane time and insane paces
• 21:43
  Is he trying to say, like,
• 21:45
  just line the stuff up for
• 21:46
  me and I will show you how
• 21:48
  fit I am and why I am the
• 21:50
  fittest man on earth?
• 21:56
  Is there anybody better at
• 21:57
  endurance shit than James is right now?
• 21:59
  No, there is not.
• 22:02
  There just isn't.
• 22:03
  I don't throw anybody's name
• 22:05
  out there that you want.
• 22:06
  There just isn't.
• 22:07
  And, yeah, what Judy said right there,
• 22:09
  his half mile to run,
• 22:11
  to average a seven forty
• 22:12
  six mile for thirteen miles,
• 22:16
  seven forty six, excuse me,
• 22:17
  for like under just holding under eight.
• 22:21
  After the swim, after the bike.
• 22:25
  Again, crazy town, banana pants.
• 22:28
  Simi says,
• 22:29
  didn't he win what a palooza to.
• 22:31
  Oh, yeah.
• 22:32
  Check that box as well.
• 22:35
  I'm excited to see what he's
• 22:36
  going to do this year, dude.
• 22:37
  I really am.
• 22:40
  And went to Rogue,
• 22:42
  finished top ten with pneumonia.
• 22:44
  With pneumonia.
• 22:49
  With low lung function.
• 22:54
  Can't breathe.
• 22:56
  It's okay.
• 22:56
  I'm going to fly across the
• 22:57
  pond and still finish top ten.
• 23:00
  And yes, Aaron, he is an awesome dude.
• 23:06
  He's a dude, period.
• 23:08
  Like there's no,
• 23:10
  what you see is what you get.
• 23:12
  He is goofy.
• 23:13
  He is kind.
• 23:15
  He is just great human beings.
• 23:20
  what a, what a guy, man.
• 23:21
  And I, and I, I love the kid.
• 23:23
  Um,
• 23:23
  I actually knew his dad before I knew him,
• 23:25
  uh,
• 23:26
  through master's fitness was
• 23:28
  collective at the time now championship.
• 23:30
  Um, so I,
• 23:32
  I got to know his dad before I
• 23:33
  got to know him and his dad
• 23:35
  is just one of the greatest dudes ever.
• 23:38
  Like the apple did not fall
• 23:40
  far from the tree.
• 23:40
  Right.
• 23:45
  Um,
• 23:48
  I think he could be a
• 23:48
  world-class high rocks
• 23:49
  athlete too if he wanted to.
• 23:52
  Without even really training for it,
• 23:53
  he made the world championships.
• 23:56
  Yeah.
• 23:56
  I would say he already is a
• 23:58
  world-class high rocks
• 23:59
  athlete without trying.
• 24:01
  Yeah.
• 24:03
  Yeah.
• 24:04
  Let him try and then see.
• 24:07
  Yeah.
• 24:08
  If he actually was like...
• 24:09
  He would be bored as hell
• 24:10
  doing high rocks.
• 24:12
  Doing the same movements every day.
• 24:14
  Same moves over and over again.
• 24:16
  I mean,
• 24:16
  there's only so many wall balls you
• 24:17
  can do before you just like, okay,
• 24:21
  I got it.
• 24:26
  I don't know if you guys saw
• 24:27
  the preview for tomorrow's
• 24:30
  Rich Froning podcast.
• 24:34
  It's going to be a hot one.
• 24:38
  Like seven inches from the midday sun.
• 24:41
  Yes, sir.
• 24:43
  Let me see if I can pull
• 24:45
  that up real quick.
• 24:46
  You should have had that
• 24:47
  sound bite ready in the sky.
• 24:48
  We could just play that.
• 24:49
  It's a great song.
• 24:54
  Here is a preview of
• 24:56
  tomorrow's Rich Froning
• 24:57
  podcast with Brent Fikowski.
• 25:02
  Are we ready?
• 25:04
  Your biggest problem right
• 25:06
  now is your buy-in to the
• 25:08
  PFAA or really just into
• 25:10
  the things that you're pushing.
• 25:12
  Probably the buy-in from
• 25:13
  people who just disagree
• 25:14
  with you or think they disagree with you.
• 25:17
  And I think a lot of it
• 25:17
  stems from the demands after the game.
• 25:20
  Absolutely.
• 25:21
  I think a lot of your
• 25:22
  biggest problem right
• 25:23
  now... Let's get right into it.
• 25:29
  That has been what I've been
• 25:30
  trying to say all along.
• 25:32
  The PFAA is only as strong
• 25:35
  as the support it gets from
• 25:36
  the other athletes.
• 25:40
  Brent just going off saying
• 25:41
  things without the backing
• 25:43
  of the other athletes is meaningless.
• 25:46
  And that they needed a
• 25:47
  better organizational
• 25:48
  structure to show that they
• 25:50
  were all together.
• 25:54
  And they put the cart before the horse.
• 25:57
  And I took it on the chin
• 25:59
  for freaking months when I
• 26:00
  was saying that.
• 26:02
  That they did not put
• 26:03
  together a good voting strategy,
• 26:06
  a good support strategy for
• 26:08
  that organization before
• 26:09
  they went all in with these demands.
• 26:14
  They basically said, oh, wait,
• 26:16
  we have an organization
• 26:19
  that we made up yesterday, essentially,
• 26:22
  and this is the things that we want.
• 26:25
  And they got laughed at and
• 26:26
  didn't understand why they
• 26:28
  got laughed at.
• 26:28
  I can tell you why,
• 26:29
  because of what you just said.
• 26:31
  You have nothing to back it up.
• 26:36
  The return of the king.
• 26:38
  Oh, excuse me, not the return of the king,
• 26:39
  the two towers.
• 26:40
  You have no power here.
• 26:42
  You have no power here.
• 26:45
  So what soapbox,
• 26:49
  what bargaining chip do you
• 26:50
  think you have?
• 26:51
  You do not.
• 26:53
  Because the people that,
• 26:55
  we talked about this before,
• 26:57
  the people who are not
• 26:58
  competing this year because
• 26:59
  they stepped out because
• 27:01
  they're either part of the PFFA, PFA,
• 27:03
  they stepped out for whatever reason,
• 27:07
  the season moves on.
• 27:10
  With or without you?
• 27:12
  I, for one, I like Brent.
• 27:15
  We have a, we, well,
• 27:17
  probably till just this moment,
• 27:18
  we had a good relationship.
• 27:20
  Probably till right up until just now.
• 27:24
  I like the idea of an
• 27:25
  organization for the
• 27:26
  athletes to be able to
• 27:27
  communicate what they need and want.
• 27:30
  But it should be done in a
• 27:31
  way that makes sense and it
• 27:33
  takes into account all the
• 27:35
  athletes and not just three
• 27:37
  elected officials who deem
• 27:40
  what is important and what is not.
• 27:41
  And because you elected them
• 27:43
  nine months ago,
• 27:44
  they get to say whatever they want.
• 27:46
  and that and they are
• 27:47
  representing everybody that
• 27:49
  makes no sense you should
• 27:50
  have meetings with
• 27:51
  everybody get votes on
• 27:53
  controversial topics so
• 27:55
  that you can say in a vote
• 27:57
  of eighty nine to sixty
• 28:00
  four we voted this through
• 28:02
  and these are the demands
• 28:03
  we want to make that holds
• 28:06
  way more water than eight
• 28:10
  of us sign this document
• 28:11
  this is what we want this
• 28:13
  is what we think
• 28:15
  And it's the same eight
• 28:16
  people who've been saying
• 28:16
  the same things for however long.
• 28:18
  So like, all you did was say that, okay,
• 28:21
  instead of us saying it individually,
• 28:22
  we're all saying it,
• 28:23
  the eight of us or however many it is,
• 28:25
  are all saying it together now.
• 28:29
  So I'm not against an
• 28:31
  organization for the athletes.
• 28:32
  I'm not running it.
• 28:34
  I just always thought the
• 28:36
  structure sucked.
• 28:39
  You have no authority.
• 28:41
  You have no,
• 28:42
  and it's an outside body at that.
• 28:44
  Like,
• 28:47
  You have no association with
• 28:48
  CrossFit other than the
• 28:49
  fact that everybody that's in it does it.
• 28:55
  Thank you, Andrew Stinn,
• 28:56
  for being the voice of reason.
• 28:57
  That is correct.
• 28:58
  Every other players association does.
• 28:59
  Members get a vote.
• 29:01
  Especially on the big ticket items.
• 29:05
  Maybe the board will pick
• 29:07
  what bank account they use
• 29:08
  and pick the little stuff.
• 29:12
  Inconsequential stuff.
• 29:14
  Let's call it that.
• 29:15
  When you're putting a demand
• 29:17
  you want people fired,
• 29:18
  the member should have voted.
• 29:19
  And why do you want to go with that?
• 29:24
  Because reasons.
• 29:28
  Because I've been wanting
• 29:28
  him going for years and now
• 29:30
  I've got these other people
• 29:30
  that agree that we can all
• 29:32
  kind of try to present some
• 29:33
  sort of united front and say it.
• 29:36
  The problem was it's what
• 29:37
  those few people wanted.
• 29:39
  They flexed,
• 29:41
  thought they had enough juice
• 29:42
  behind the flex and they didn't.
• 29:45
  And now they've got nothing.
• 29:47
  And now they're starting
• 29:48
  from less than zero to
• 29:49
  build this back up if they want to.
• 29:53
  They had a bluff.
• 29:54
  It was called cards on the table.
• 29:58
  What do you have?
• 29:58
  Nothing.
• 29:59
  Oh, well, all right.
• 30:01
  Moving right along.
• 30:03
  What did CrossFit do in response?
• 30:05
  Oh, here's the CAC again.
• 30:08
  This thing that we already had once,
• 30:10
  and then y'all decided
• 30:10
  y'all didn't want to have,
• 30:11
  and then y'all decided we needed,
• 30:13
  so we just brought it back.
• 30:15
  Here's a CrossFit athlete console,
• 30:17
  which is actually
• 30:17
  represented by athletes
• 30:19
  that are still doing CrossFit.
• 30:23
  I can't wait, dude.
• 30:23
  I cannot wait.
• 30:25
  I think Angelo is...
• 30:28
  Probably just starting to
• 30:29
  get his recognition as
• 30:30
  being a fantastic
• 30:31
  interviewer of people and
• 30:32
  talking to somebody who
• 30:33
  knows so much about the
• 30:34
  space and what's going on.
• 30:35
  And he is not scared to talk
• 30:38
  to people and ask questions
• 30:40
  and tell them exactly what's on his mind.
• 30:43
  And I think that makes for a
• 30:46
  phenomenal interview
• 30:47
  experience if he's let off
• 30:49
  the leash and let him say
• 30:51
  what he wants to say.
• 30:53
  What I want to know,
• 30:54
  and this is on a different subject,
• 30:56
  but on last week's Rich Froning podcast,
• 30:59
  they briefly mentioned that
• 31:00
  Angelo got a contract with
• 31:03
  Mayhem to do something in
• 31:04
  their organization now.
• 31:07
  But they did not say what that was.
• 31:10
  And so I am really anxious
• 31:11
  to see why he was brought on,
• 31:16
  what role he's playing.
• 31:17
  I mean, he does a lot for Mayhem now,
• 31:20
  just as like a friend.
• 31:22
  Yeah, but they made something official.
• 31:24
  Yeah.
• 31:27
  That's a... Really slight
• 31:29
  pickup in the background, but yeah,
• 31:33
  I'm anxious to see.
• 31:40
  Lita said, food for thought.
• 31:41
  Do you think that if someone,
• 31:43
  not saying Castro necessarily,
• 31:45
  had been fired or resigned,
• 31:46
  we'd be in better position now?
• 31:54
  Okay.
• 31:55
  My thought is no.
• 31:56
  My thought is that we see
• 31:58
  these public faces and
• 32:00
  they're not really the ones
• 32:01
  running the show.
• 32:03
  The people running the show
• 32:04
  are the board of directors
• 32:06
  for the private equity firm.
• 32:09
  They're the ones making all
• 32:10
  these decisions and it's
• 32:13
  Castro and fall and all
• 32:15
  these people coming out in
• 32:17
  front of everybody,
• 32:18
  having to communicate that message,
• 32:21
  whether they believe it or not.
• 32:24
  And I think that that is the problem.
• 32:29
  I would agree to that.
• 32:32
  I would definitely agree to that.
• 32:36
  I don't see that as solving a problem.
• 32:38
  That is throwing fuel on the fire, I guess,
• 32:43
  to keep everybody warm for a little bit.
• 32:46
  But then once that burns out,
• 32:47
  then what happens?
• 32:48
  What's changed?
• 32:50
  God bless Lazar.
• 32:51
  He's still gone.
• 32:57
  I think,
• 32:58
  and Lito follows that up with in
• 33:00
  terms of a less divided community.
• 33:02
  I think you're going to have
• 33:03
  the divided community regardless.
• 33:06
  You have people who love Dave Castro.
• 33:09
  You have people who hate Dave Castro.
• 33:10
  Yeah,
• 33:11
  I don't think there's a lot of middle
• 33:12
  ground here.
• 33:13
  No.
• 33:15
  Not a lot of people in the middle.
• 33:17
  And I think that if they fired him,
• 33:22
  you'd have the same half
• 33:23
  that supported him upset
• 33:25
  that they fired him.
• 33:27
  Yeah.
• 33:28
  And then the other half glad
• 33:29
  that he's gone.
• 33:31
  And then the same board of
• 33:33
  directors running the whole show anyway.
• 33:36
  Well,
• 33:36
  here's the thing about that kind of stuff,
• 33:38
  too,
• 33:38
  that comes to mind is that where does
• 33:41
  it end?
• 33:42
  So the next person,
• 33:43
  so you fire Dave Castro and
• 33:45
  the people that hate Dave
• 33:46
  Castro are having a party, whatever,
• 33:49
  excited.
• 33:51
  And then whoever is going to step up,
• 33:53
  steps up.
• 33:54
  And then something else
• 33:55
  happens next year or two years from now,
• 33:57
  or three years from now,
• 33:58
  we fired that dude.
• 34:01
  And then what, like you just fired to,
• 34:05
  to appease people said, oh, well,
• 34:07
  these people think these
• 34:08
  guys should be fired.
• 34:10
  We should probably fire.
• 34:11
  And then, and then what did you see?
• 34:14
  I did see that running may have Angelo,
• 34:18
  the contract running mayhem.
• 34:20
  So rich can be CEO.
• 34:26
  Hmm.
• 34:30
  Let me tell you this.
• 34:32
  I'm not saying it's going to happen,
• 34:34
  but I would not be upset if it did.
• 34:36
  Does that make sense?
• 34:40
  It all depends on the structure behind it.
• 34:43
  You can put whoever you want in that seat.
• 34:45
  It depends on the ownership
• 34:48
  group behind it.
• 34:49
  How is that configured to
• 34:52
  support the people they put out there?
• 34:55
  Are they going to give them autonomy?
• 34:56
  Are they going to give them
• 34:57
  the ability to do what they want to do?
• 34:59
  Or is it a board of
• 35:00
  directors they still have to report to?
• 35:03
  That's the piece that people
• 35:04
  keep forgetting.
• 35:06
  We can put faces out there
• 35:07
  all we want left and right.
• 35:09
  If that face doesn't have
• 35:10
  the ability to do what they
• 35:11
  want to do and do what they
• 35:13
  think needs to be done,
• 35:15
  then none of it matters.
• 35:17
  No, if it's just in CEO,
• 35:18
  it's just a figurehead at that point,
• 35:20
  somebody to roll out there
• 35:22
  and just spew whatever
• 35:23
  talking points they have for the day.
• 35:26
  What good is that doing?
• 35:27
  What good is that doing
• 35:27
  anybody at that point?
• 35:29
  You could put anybody.
• 35:30
  You could put me up there.
• 35:31
  We could put Scott up there.
• 35:33
  It really wouldn't matter
• 35:34
  because they're just
• 35:36
  sitting there and just saying, yep,
• 35:38
  this is what happened yesterday,
• 35:40
  and just literally reading
• 35:41
  off of a script,
• 35:42
  and they don't have any real power.
• 35:45
  Whoever the new ownership
• 35:46
  group is actually just going to be, hey,
• 35:49
  hands off.
• 35:51
  This is okay.
• 35:52
  We're going to make,
• 35:53
  we're going to make rich
• 35:54
  CEO for whatever reason,
• 35:56
  because we think he
• 35:57
  actually has the right tools, vision,
• 36:00
  knowledge,
• 36:01
  whatever you want to call it to
• 36:02
  keep pushing the methodology.
• 36:05
  Let's make that clear forward.
• 36:08
  Sports,
• 36:09
  a by-product always has been the sport.
• 36:16
  I have different thoughts about that,
• 36:17
  but that's fine.
• 36:18
  Yeah.
• 36:19
  That's for a longer debate
• 36:20
  on another day when we have
• 36:21
  more than nine minutes in our lunch hour.
• 36:23
  But,
• 36:26
  but even if you look back at the
• 36:27
  Glassman days, he would hire a CEO.
• 36:30
  And then if that CEO wasn't
• 36:31
  doing it the way Greg wanted it done,
• 36:33
  you go, right.
• 36:36
  So even though you'd put
• 36:37
  these different CEOs as the
• 36:39
  front facing piece of CrossFit,
• 36:41
  Glassman was always
• 36:42
  CrossFit because behind the scenes,
• 36:44
  he's the one running the show.
• 36:47
  Now we have this public
• 36:49
  equity firm doing it,
• 36:50
  and they are going to be
• 36:52
  the decision makers of
• 36:53
  CrossFit until they sell
• 36:55
  and somebody else takes it over.
• 36:57
  And we just don't know what
• 36:58
  that new structure is going to be.
• 36:59
  Facts.
• 37:03
  So all I know is the current
• 37:08
  structure does not work.
• 37:12
  So whatever we're doing
• 37:13
  today does not work.
• 37:15
  And I am looking forward to the sale.
• 37:18
  And it may be worse.
• 37:19
  Who the hell knows?
• 37:20
  But I know that whatever is
• 37:22
  happening today is not working.
• 37:25
  Right.
• 37:27
  Right.
• 37:31
  So hopefully, with that being said,
• 37:34
  whoever is buying it is not
• 37:37
  just going to maintain this.
• 37:39
  Like, it's not a lateral move.
• 37:40
  Does that make sense?
• 37:41
  Yeah.
• 37:42
  You don't spend this much
• 37:43
  money and make it a lateral move.
• 37:46
  Well,
• 37:47
  they spent that much money and
• 37:48
  brought it backwards.
• 37:50
  True.
• 37:52
  They didn't know what they
• 37:53
  were getting into.
• 37:54
  If the people you think are
• 37:55
  buying it are buying it,
• 37:57
  they've been around the
• 37:58
  space long enough to know.
• 38:00
  Yes.
• 38:01
  Well, they understand that, you know,
• 38:04
  again, going back to what Greg said,
• 38:06
  if you provide value,
• 38:09
  the rest of everything else
• 38:10
  is going to fall into place.
• 38:14
  Like the money's going to
• 38:15
  follow as long as you're
• 38:16
  providing a product and
• 38:18
  value that people actually want.
• 38:22
  I firmly believe that.
• 38:24
  Yeah.
• 38:26
  So I don't know where I'm going.
• 38:30
  So on another note,
• 38:35
  I just watched the keeping
• 38:36
  it real video this morning.
• 38:38
  God bless you for watching Grant stuff.
• 38:41
  when I was at the games last
• 38:42
  year there were two people
• 38:44
  that were my support team
• 38:47
  um at the games because I
• 38:48
  was there by myself until
• 38:49
  cat showed up a couple days
• 38:50
  into the games and um when
• 38:53
  I was there grant and
• 38:56
  amanda harry were my
• 38:57
  support team and without
• 38:59
  them I don't know how I
• 39:01
  would have got through that
• 39:02
  first day of the games and
• 39:06
  But man, Grant, dude, dude,
• 39:10
  you are killing me, brother.
• 39:13
  Killing me.
• 39:17
  Oh, Grant.
• 39:19
  He made the statement and he
• 39:21
  keeps saying these are the facts.
• 39:25
  Just because you say they
• 39:25
  are doesn't mean they necessarily are.
• 39:30
  And he was saying that
• 39:33
  The new company came over.
• 39:34
  They started making cuts to the games.
• 39:38
  And that's why there were
• 39:39
  not safety measures in place.
• 39:41
  And that could be why Lazar died.
• 39:46
  The cuts were being made to
• 39:47
  the games prior to the sale.
• 39:50
  Greg made cuts to the games
• 39:52
  after the two thousand eighteen season.
• 39:54
  Those cuts were happening
• 39:56
  well before the sale.
• 39:58
  So that's one thing.
• 40:03
  I'm not going to dive into all this stuff.
• 40:07
  Just be careful what you're saying, dude.
• 40:10
  And just because there's
• 40:11
  low-hanging fruit out there
• 40:12
  to hit doesn't mean you have to.
• 40:20
  Please don't, as a matter of fact.
• 40:24
  And I'm saying this,
• 40:25
  and he's getting more views than I am,
• 40:27
  and he's getting more clicks than I am,
• 40:30
  and I love the dude.
• 40:31
  Like, as a person, he is a good dude.
• 40:34
  A hundred percent.
• 40:36
  Super good dude.
• 40:37
  But, dude, man.
• 40:40
  I'm just burning up going,
• 40:41
  that's not how it happened.
• 40:44
  He's one of those people that's at, like,
• 40:46
  a thirteen,
• 40:47
  and I need you to turn it down to, like,
• 40:49
  a six.
• 40:51
  Just dial it back a little bit, brother.
• 40:53
  Like, you're not...
• 40:54
  You're not doing terribly,
• 40:55
  but I just need you to pull
• 40:56
  it in a little bit so that
• 40:58
  you have some accuracy, for one.
• 41:01
  And yes, thank you, Judy Reed.
• 41:03
  This is the other piece that
• 41:05
  he said that was getting me fired up,
• 41:06
  is that the games don't make any money.
• 41:13
  I have heard from very high
• 41:14
  sources that the games
• 41:16
  actually make money.
• 41:19
  The open makes money.
• 41:22
  It's that stuff in the
• 41:23
  middle that they have not figured out.
• 41:25
  Yeah.
• 41:29
  That middle stuff loses money.
• 41:33
  And at a rate that hurts the
• 41:35
  bottom line for the whole structure.
• 41:36
  The whole structure, yeah.
• 41:37
  I can see that.
• 41:42
  And I believe that CrossFit has never,
• 41:45
  ever reached their full
• 41:46
  potential of revenue streams.
• 41:50
  They never run commercials
• 41:53
  during any broadcast.
• 41:54
  They don't do any kind of jersey sales.
• 42:00
  The only kind of merch sales
• 42:02
  CrossFit does are shirts
• 42:04
  that say CrossFit.
• 42:11
  That's it.
• 42:12
  Full stop.
• 42:13
  Right.
• 42:15
  The only time I've ever seen
• 42:16
  ads for CrossFit is during
• 42:19
  a CrossFit event.
• 42:22
  you're barking up the wrong tree.
• 42:24
  The people that are watching
• 42:25
  that are well aware of
• 42:26
  what's going on and well
• 42:28
  aware of how to get there.
• 42:30
  Like you need to,
• 42:31
  if you're going to spend
• 42:32
  some money on advertising stuff, cool,
• 42:34
  but let's put it somewhere
• 42:36
  that it makes sense.
• 42:39
  Or how about this?
• 42:41
  Actually sell ad space
• 42:43
  during your streams.
• 42:45
  Maybe a good idea.
• 42:46
  That's a revenue stream that
• 42:47
  they have not even tapped into.
• 42:50
  And who gives a shit who buys it?
• 42:53
  Savon did.
• 42:54
  Savon sold ad revenue during
• 42:57
  both NorCal and Syndicate.
• 43:00
  You know who else did?
• 43:00
  Mayhem did.
• 43:01
  Mayhem did.
• 43:02
  Mayhem did during their broadcast.
• 43:04
  They sold ad space during
• 43:05
  their broadcasts.
• 43:06
  Rory was doing live commercials.
• 43:08
  From Vendor Village.
• 43:10
  Like, think about how cool that is.
• 43:13
  Yeah.
• 43:13
  You have this massive vendor
• 43:14
  village at the games.
• 43:16
  You could have somebody,
• 43:17
  a correspondent out there,
• 43:19
  and highlight your vendors
• 43:22
  during that time.
• 43:23
  Hey, we're at,
• 43:25
  this is Travis Bellinghausen
• 43:26
  with Vindicate.
• 43:27
  We're at his booth right now.
• 43:30
  Right.
• 43:30
  Increase the value of that
• 43:32
  booth for him by promoting
• 43:35
  what he's doing out there.
• 43:37
  Knowing Travis,
• 43:39
  kind of just using him as
• 43:39
  an example as the first
• 43:40
  person that comes to mind,
• 43:41
  he would be way more likely
• 43:43
  to spend out the ridiculous
• 43:45
  amount of money they want
• 43:46
  for a booth spot there if
• 43:48
  something like that would happen.
• 43:50
  Right.
• 43:51
  And then the value of the booth goes up,
• 43:54
  which means more revenue stream for you,
• 43:56
  CrossFit.
• 43:59
  how it all works it's weird
• 44:01
  how that works here's the
• 44:04
  best part about this scott
• 44:05
  is that you got a dumb coon
• 44:08
  ass and uh a former d-one
• 44:11
  swimmer that figured that
• 44:13
  like we we can figure that
• 44:15
  out yeah I know it's not
• 44:17
  popular today but I do have
• 44:18
  an mba you know oh excuse
• 44:20
  me mr mba I don't
• 44:24
  But I never really worked in marketing or,
• 44:26
  I mean,
• 44:27
  I was always a stats guy and a
• 44:30
  teacher basically.
• 44:33
  But either way,
• 44:35
  what I'm getting at is that
• 44:35
  two dudes on a podcast on a
• 44:38
  Tuesday morning can put our
• 44:42
  heads together and go, Hey, you know,
• 44:43
  would be a really good idea.
• 44:45
  And it wouldn't, it doesn't,
• 44:47
  what would it cost?
• 44:48
  Bring the camera out there.
• 44:52
  Like they can, wherever they're,
• 44:53
  wherever they're broadcasting from,
• 44:54
  they're broadcasting.
• 44:54
  Not only that, make it part of a package.
• 44:57
  Like if you get a vendor booth,
• 45:00
  you also get ad space during the stream.
• 45:03
  Yep.
• 45:04
  You can get this package
• 45:05
  where you get that.
• 45:05
  You can get this package without that.
• 45:10
  Things like that.
• 45:10
  There's so many creative ways to do that,
• 45:13
  that they just are missing
• 45:15
  out on completely.
• 45:17
  One thing about like,
• 45:19
  And this game,
• 45:20
  this is not because of my education.
• 45:22
  This is because I watch sports.
• 45:26
  Yeah.
• 45:29
  Right?
• 45:29
  I watch other sports.
• 45:30
  Look at that.
• 45:32
  Lito becoming a new member.
• 45:34
  Woo!
• 45:36
  Thank you so much, Lito.
• 45:37
  We appreciate that so much.
• 45:40
  That helps us maintain the
• 45:43
  software to run this thing.
• 45:45
  Thank you so much for doing that.
• 45:48
  You'll become a great,
• 45:49
  great person in the chat,
• 45:51
  and I'm so happy to have you as a member.
• 45:53
  But anyway,
• 45:55
  when people say that it can't make money,
• 45:58
  I think that it has not
• 45:59
  tried to make money.
• 46:01
  No.
• 46:02
  There are so many ways for
• 46:05
  revenue streams.
• 46:08
  So many ways that we haven't
• 46:10
  even explored.
• 46:12
  But Grant, so I don't know.
• 46:16
  keep doing you, keep doing you.
• 46:18
  And I'll just,
• 46:19
  I'll just take deep breaths more.
• 46:22
  I don't know.
• 46:23
  God, God love that dude.
• 46:25
  The one thing you do not
• 46:26
  have to tell him is for him
• 46:27
  to keep doing him.
• 46:29
  He going to keep that up no matter what.
• 46:31
  Yeah.
• 46:34
  Uh, I was going to talk about, um,
• 46:37
  let's finish on this boys
• 46:38
  interrupted last night.
• 46:41
  I got,
• 46:41
  I got made five minutes before I
• 46:42
  fell asleep.
• 46:43
  So you're going to have to,
• 46:43
  you have to fill me in.
• 46:45
  Very entertaining as always.
• 46:47
  Those guys have just hit it
• 46:50
  out of the park.
• 46:50
  Yep.
• 46:52
  I was reminded of,
• 46:54
  I've had a rough year with
• 46:56
  some agents in the space and they are,
• 47:00
  they came at me a little bit,
• 47:02
  but I've always had a good
• 47:03
  relationship with them.
• 47:04
  So I was really surprised
• 47:05
  that that happened to me this year.
• 47:07
  What last they did is
• 47:08
  reminded me why I like
• 47:10
  those two dudes and,
• 47:12
  I do think that they may be
• 47:14
  barking up the wrong tree
• 47:15
  at different things.
• 47:16
  But as a whole, like, I like them.
• 47:20
  They've both been on my show.
• 47:23
  But I loved.
• 47:28
  They are essential for this sport.
• 47:30
  Oh, absolutely.
• 47:31
  Right.
• 47:32
  And it's like Dallin said,
• 47:34
  his first sponsor was ESC Sounds.
• 47:38
  And the owner of ESC Sounds says,
• 47:39
  I didn't screw you over,
• 47:41
  but somebody's gonna,
• 47:42
  you need to get protected.
• 47:46
  Right.
• 47:47
  And that's when he hooked up
• 47:48
  with Cooper Marsh.
• 47:50
  Cooper Marsh is the,
• 47:52
  O'Keefe was probably the
• 47:53
  first agent that I talked to.
• 47:55
  And then Cooper Marsh was the next.
• 47:56
  Right.
• 47:58
  When I was trying to grow this thing,
• 47:59
  I reached out to them and said, hey,
• 48:02
  I just am trying to figure
• 48:03
  out a way to grow.
• 48:05
  And both of them offered to
• 48:06
  help me and mentor me.
• 48:10
  And that is invaluable that
• 48:12
  that happened early on.
• 48:15
  And I really appreciate them for that.
• 48:19
  And Daniel has been nothing
• 48:20
  but cool to me until the
• 48:22
  whole Brooke Wells thing
• 48:23
  blew up this year.
• 48:25
  And then I made one joke on
• 48:26
  Instagram and everybody
• 48:29
  lost their damn mind.
• 48:32
  But I truly, truly love those guys.
• 48:37
  And they are there for a purpose.
• 48:38
  And I think last night
• 48:39
  showed why they're there.
• 48:41
  And I liked that they had that on there.
• 48:45
  Doesn't mean I agree with
• 48:46
  everything they do.
• 48:50
  Not by a long shot.
• 48:50
  Put your story on Hopper's
• 48:51
  hair and just kind of move from there.
• 48:55
  But I did like how they were
• 48:57
  stealing athletes from each other,
• 48:59
  and they talked about that story.
• 49:03
  And they talked about the
• 49:03
  recruitment of Hopper and
• 49:05
  why Cooper lost him initially.
• 49:09
  And they said, well,
• 49:10
  how would you approach Jason now?
• 49:12
  And he said, well,
• 49:13
  I would just go over and
• 49:14
  talk to Dallin until he got
• 49:15
  so jealous he'd come over and talk to me.
• 49:20
  That's accurate.
• 49:25
  That's accurate.
• 49:26
  That's fantastic.
• 49:28
  So that was cool.
• 49:30
  And again,
• 49:31
  those dudes are so freaking entertaining.
• 49:33
  The three of them.
• 49:36
  I don't know.
• 49:38
  It's the matches I didn't
• 49:39
  think would ever happen.
• 49:41
  Like I could see Dallin and Jason.
• 49:42
  I did not see Justin joining that group.
• 49:45
  That's why every single time,
• 49:48
  every single time I see the
• 49:50
  three of them together, like you said,
• 49:52
  the two make sense.
• 49:54
  And then there's Justin.
• 49:55
  But all together, it actually works,
• 49:59
  which is, I'm glad.
• 50:02
  I'm glad.
• 50:03
  I'm happy for him.
• 50:05
  And we said last week, like,
• 50:06
  they're the most successful
• 50:08
  athlete podcast other than
• 50:09
  maybe the Rich Froning podcast.
• 50:11
  they're on episode twenty
• 50:12
  six according uh I do
• 50:14
  remember that from the
• 50:15
  right whenever uh I said I
• 50:17
  made it that's longer than
• 50:19
  the daughters made it
• 50:20
  that's slowing a lot of
• 50:24
  people that's right
• 50:28
  Jay Birch I've been friends
• 50:29
  with Cooper since twenty
• 50:30
  nineteen he really is a
• 50:32
  good dude and he has been
• 50:34
  nothing but supportive of
• 50:36
  this show all along like I
• 50:40
  couldn't when you first
• 50:41
  start this thing trying to
• 50:42
  get a hold of athletes in
• 50:43
  DM's that you are not
• 50:45
  friends with is very very
• 50:46
  hard by getting in touch
• 50:49
  with Cooper Cooper gave me
• 50:50
  phone numbers and that got
• 50:53
  me started which was tremendous
• 50:59
  Can't ask for more of that.
• 51:03
  Sprague would fit right in.
• 51:04
  He's been on the show, I think, twice,
• 51:06
  right?
• 51:07
  Two or three times.
• 51:09
  Yeah.
• 51:10
  Jack Farlow's the man, though.
• 51:13
  The Jack Farlow episode,
• 51:15
  it may be my favorite of all time.
• 51:18
  I might have to go back and get caught up.
• 51:19
  There's so much stuff, dude.
• 51:22
  Jack Farlow is harder than all of us,
• 51:25
  is what I learned.
• 51:26
  That I believe.
• 51:27
  Yeah.
• 51:30
  I'm good, like, during the day catching up,
• 51:34
  you know,
• 51:35
  or being on live shows when I've
• 51:37
  been from my computer most
• 51:38
  of the time anyway.
• 51:39
  But, like, once I get home, I turn off.
• 51:44
  Like, I get home, I eat.
• 51:44
  I don't watch anything from
• 51:46
  the end of work until I go to bed.
• 51:49
  Yeah.
• 51:50
  And then I put stuff on as
• 51:51
  I'm getting ready for bed
• 51:53
  and then as I'm going to sleep.
• 51:56
  That's why I made about half of...
• 51:59
  I finished Castro's weekend
• 52:01
  review this morning while I
• 52:02
  was eating breakfast.
• 52:03
  Uh, and I mean, aside from that,
• 52:07
  like I got a couple of things to say,
• 52:08
  like it really,
• 52:12
  somebody asked him what
• 52:13
  events he was excited about.
• 52:14
  And he was like, uh, one, three, four,
• 52:17
  five, seven.
• 52:18
  He said a lot of them.
• 52:21
  Aside from that, like he didn't,
• 52:22
  it really wasn't a whole heck of a lot.
• 52:24
  Uh,
• 52:25
  But I mean,
• 52:26
  I guess that's going to be like that.
• 52:27
  He's just going back on his week.
• 52:29
  Well,
• 52:30
  Bassett has some horrible travel stories,
• 52:32
  but.
• 52:37
  Yeah, I miss a lot of people.
• 52:39
  Well,
• 52:40
  we are way past our forty five
• 52:41
  minutes and I'm late to get
• 52:43
  back from lunch,
• 52:45
  so I need to get back to work.
• 52:46
  I have a one thirty meeting
• 52:48
  with that guys.
• 52:50
  You knuckleheads get back to work to.
• 52:52
  We will see you next time.
• 52:54
  Tomorrow, Pete Shaw talking about Metfix.
• 52:58
  If you have not seen the
• 53:00
  Hiller Instagram reel,
• 53:03
  that was a lot of what I
• 53:04
  had in my notes to talk to
• 53:05
  him about tomorrow.
• 53:08
  And I'm anxious to get some
• 53:09
  answers on some of that stuff.
• 53:12
  But kind of bummed that Hiller blew my
• 53:18
  To be fair, dude,
• 53:19
  Hill has been on top of that.
• 53:20
  Hill has been like a dog on
• 53:21
  a bone on top of that since
• 53:23
  they started putting out,
• 53:24
  especially his hair recently,
• 53:25
  they started putting out.
• 53:27
  He's been all over it.
• 53:29
  Yeah.
• 53:31
  So Pete Shaw tomorrow from MedFix.
• 53:34
  He is the head of education for MedFix.
• 53:36
  We're going to have him on
• 53:37
  at noon during our lunch hour tomorrow.
• 53:40
  So,
• 53:40
  fifteen minutes early lunch hour
• 53:42
  tomorrow.
• 53:43
  And then we'll talk to him
• 53:44
  and then we'll be back
• 53:46
  regular lunch hour on Thursday.
• 53:48
  Back at it with all the fun stuff.
• 53:50
  With that,
• 53:51
  we'll see everybody next time on
• 53:54
  Lunch with the Clydesdale.
