• 1:08
  Um,
• 1:10
  Yeah.
• 1:10
  Wow.
• 1:11
  I was just telling Jamie,
• 1:13
  been a wild week.
• 1:14
  My mom came in, Corey came home.
• 1:17
  Everybody's traveling everywhere trying to
• 1:19
  do, you know,
• 1:20
  Corey only has like five days to see
• 1:22
  everybody and get her to everybody so she
• 1:25
  can see them.
• 1:27
  And then my mom's flying back with her
• 1:28
  to Montana and spending a week with her
• 1:33
  out there.
• 1:34
  So that's going to be cool for them.
• 1:35
  That's awesome.
• 1:39
  She's going to take my mom up to
• 1:40
  Glacier National Park and check all that
• 1:43
  out.
• 1:46
  There's my cousin.
• 1:49
  This is your cousin?
• 1:52
  Happy Mother's Day, Jamie.
• 1:53
  Happy Mother's Day to you, Leah.
• 1:57
  Does Leah do CrossFit?
• 1:59
  Leah does do CrossFit.
• 2:01
  Leah works out at Paradigm CrossFit,
• 2:04
  which is Seth's
• 2:07
  The, um, Cairo who works on Billy.
• 2:10
  Yep.
• 2:12
  That is his gym.
• 2:14
  They actually offered, well, she offered,
• 2:16
  I guess I didn't actually speak with Seth,
• 2:18
  but they had offered me to come over
• 2:21
  there to grand Rapids area and do the
• 2:23
  semifinals there,
• 2:24
  but they didn't have anyone doing them.
• 2:25
  And I didn't want to,
• 2:28
  I didn't want to, you know,
• 2:29
  inconvenience them for myself.
• 2:33
  Denise Moore,
• 2:35
  two weeks after punching her ticket to the
• 2:37
  CrossFit Games,
• 2:38
  finally catching a Sunday Night CrossFit
• 2:39
  talk.
• 2:43
  Fergie,
• 2:43
  weekly Fergie question this week for
• 2:45
  Carolyn.
• 2:47
  Carolyn,
• 2:47
  would you rather fly halfway around the
• 2:49
  world for your third week of competition
• 2:52
  or have your heater break in the dead
• 2:54
  of a Canadian winter?
• 2:57
  What's a heater break?
• 2:59
  your heater, like the heater.
• 3:00
  Yeah.
• 3:03
  The heat in your house, in your house.
• 3:05
  Oh, my heater break.
• 3:06
  I thought I was thinking of like,
• 3:08
  like a winter break and I was like
• 3:10
  heater break, like my summer break,
• 3:12
  like hot summer.
• 3:13
  Sorry.
• 3:13
  I've read that.
• 3:14
  I was thinking I was on my vacation,
• 3:16
  my summer vacation right now.
• 3:18
  Um,
• 3:24
  I think I would do a third competition
• 3:28
  if I could.
• 3:30
  I figured this layer up week.
• 3:38
  You could always layer up.
• 3:42
  The older I get the less tolerant I
• 3:44
  am of cold.
• 3:47
  I'm not very good like tolerating cold or
• 3:49
  heat so
• 3:50
  I'm just not good with temperatures.
• 3:53
  Certainly not heat though.
• 3:54
  I don't do very well that.
• 3:56
  I don't like heat either.
• 3:58
  So, um, with my hot flashes,
• 4:01
  I don't mind the cold.
• 4:03
  I hear that a lot from women and
• 4:06
  I,
• 4:06
  that I guess I have a while for
• 4:09
  that still.
• 4:09
  Cause I, I cannot tolerate the cold.
• 4:12
  I'm cold all the time.
• 4:14
  Yeah.
• 4:14
  That happened about.
• 4:15
  For my wife.
• 4:19
  Yeah, those were fun years.
• 4:22
  Just saying.
• 4:24
  Thermostat couldn't be set to any
• 4:26
  temperature that was suitable.
• 4:33
  At least Jamie can visit her family on
• 4:35
  winter.
• 4:38
  Happy Sunday, Glasgow family.
• 4:41
  Denise says, just wait.
• 4:46
  Paramenopause and menopause suck.
• 4:49
  That's what I hear.
• 4:51
  So before we dive into all the CrossFit
• 4:54
  stuff,
• 4:56
  have you guys seen the movie Ordinary
• 4:58
  Angels?
• 5:00
  No.
• 5:00
  Nope.
• 5:01
  I don't even think I've heard of it.
• 5:03
  So it's Hilary Swank and it is Reacher.
• 5:09
  It is a phenomenal movie.
• 5:11
  We accidentally stumbled on it last night.
• 5:15
  It's a true story.
• 5:16
  It is so good.
• 5:18
  So family friendly.
• 5:20
  So good.
• 5:21
  So good.
• 5:22
  Highly, highly recommend.
• 5:23
  Okay.
• 5:24
  Yeah, write that one down.
• 5:28
  So...
• 5:29
  I'm like in playoff season.
• 5:31
  I don't have time to watch any movies.
• 5:33
  You got basketball playoffs.
• 5:34
  You got WNBA that's back and NHL playoffs.
• 5:37
  I guess baseball's on too.
• 5:38
  I'm a Seventy Sixers fan.
• 5:43
  So we're not usually here at this point.
• 5:46
  And then we've gotten spanked by the
• 5:48
  Knicks every game this season series.
• 5:51
  So I don't expect us to be here
• 5:53
  past today.
• 5:54
  And then my Penguins lost in illustrious
• 5:57
  fashion in game seven.
• 6:01
  my habs are still going yeah i saw
• 6:06
  they won the first round i was like
• 6:07
  carolyn's gonna be happy it's always good
• 6:12
  uh train to olive says go knicks yeah
• 6:14
  boo um and the other thing i wanted
• 6:18
  to talk about is american gladiators and
• 6:22
  jamie and i were texting about this
• 6:27
  When it came back,
• 6:28
  I knew it was cheesy, right?
• 6:29
  But it's always been cheesy.
• 6:32
  And so I was okay with it.
• 6:35
  But I was really invested this year
• 6:36
  because Danny Spiegel is a CrossFitter.
• 6:39
  She's a Gladiator.
• 6:41
  There were four competitors that were
• 6:45
  CrossFitters.
• 6:49
  So I was rooting.
• 6:50
  I know Jordan Chefs because I have met
• 6:53
  her.
• 6:53
  I've interviewed her, all that stuff.
• 6:55
  Wanted her to do well.
• 6:57
  Last minute alternative was Kyle Bernier
• 7:00
  from TTT.
• 7:04
  And there was Bailey and her last name
• 7:07
  is so hard to pronounce.
• 7:10
  She was on the Milford team that took
• 7:12
  second at the twenty fifteen games.
• 7:13
  Is it Miraviglia?
• 7:16
  Yes.
• 7:17
  Okay.
• 7:18
  You are.
• 7:19
  You're on top of it.
• 7:20
  So she was a contestant on the show.
• 7:24
  And I wanted Bailey and Kyle to win
• 7:29
  because Jordan got hurt.
• 7:31
  And Jordan won her first round but didn't
• 7:33
  even get to start round two.
• 7:36
  Did she get hurt with one of the
• 7:37
  obstacles or events?
• 7:39
  They never say.
• 7:41
  It was something about her arm shoulder
• 7:42
  area.
• 7:44
  But in the first round,
• 7:45
  the hang tough with the rings,
• 7:48
  danny spiegel jumped on her she held with
• 7:53
  danny hanging on over her for the entire
• 7:54
  time to get five points but anyway it's
• 7:59
  rigged the show is rigged i am convinced
• 8:02
  now that they rigged it so crossfitters
• 8:05
  wouldn't win why do you say that so
• 8:10
  bailey made the finals
• 8:12
  There was one game that you had to
• 8:16
  win to move on to be the final
• 8:19
  two.
• 8:20
  So three made it to the finals.
• 8:22
  One's eliminated in the first game.
• 8:24
  It is,
• 8:26
  you each have a gladiator on you.
• 8:28
  You have to be the first to touch
• 8:30
  the middle button.
• 8:32
  It's a new one.
• 8:33
  It wasn't around in the day.
• 8:37
  They put Spiegel on Bailey.
• 8:39
  Spiegel is by far the best gladiator.
• 8:42
  Like by far watching the whole season,
• 8:46
  she is by far the best gladiator.
• 8:50
  So they put her on her and she
• 8:52
  gets booted and doesn't even get to go
• 8:55
  to the finals is by far fitter than
• 8:58
  the two women that moved on.
• 9:00
  Yeah.
• 9:01
  No,
• 9:01
  I know this isn't a test of fitness.
• 9:03
  I know it's a game show.
• 9:04
  I know all that stuff, but it's rigged.
• 9:07
  And then Kyle Bernier makes it to the
• 9:09
  finals.
• 9:10
  He does move on.
• 9:13
  Is he a Masters athlete?
• 9:16
  He is now.
• 9:18
  Yeah,
• 9:18
  he's probably just turning thirty-five.
• 9:20
  He's been competing since twenty-twelve,
• 9:23
  I think.
• 9:24
  That doesn't mean anything.
• 9:26
  Yeah, but he is.
• 9:27
  He has some...
• 9:29
  If you look at his profile,
• 9:30
  which I sent to Jamie,
• 9:32
  he has Masters results.
• 9:38
  Okay.
• 9:40
  Then, Bernier makes it to the finals.
• 9:43
  crushes the guy on every game,
• 9:45
  gets to the end, goes up the escalator,
• 9:49
  whatever the thing is,
• 9:52
  one foot steps a little bit off to
• 9:54
  the side,
• 9:54
  and they disqualify him completely.
• 9:58
  What?
• 9:58
  He would have won it completely,
• 10:02
  and they disqualified him.
• 10:04
  Was there prize money?
• 10:06
  A hundred thousand dollars.
• 10:07
  Damn, that sucks.
• 10:09
  He went from a hundred grand to Zippo.
• 10:10
  Yep, that sounds rigged.
• 10:14
  It's so, so, so stupid.
• 10:21
  So it's basically CrossFit standard?
• 10:23
  Checks out.
• 10:24
  The whole time I was thinking, like,
• 10:27
  we bitch about the penalties in CrossFit.
• 10:30
  They are harsh in American Gladiators.
• 10:34
  like immediately but the one thing that
• 10:36
  definitely like reigned true is danny
• 10:39
  spiegel was the best athlete of the
• 10:42
  gladiators the rest were muscular or
• 10:45
  whatever looked good or whatever she
• 10:48
  actually could play every game she's
• 10:53
  athletic she's always been one of the most
• 10:55
  athletic females in our sport yeah
• 10:58
  way she tackles the way she like every
• 11:02
  game she did well at and the one
• 11:04
  she dominated was when they have to climb
• 11:06
  the wall the wall like rock climb and
• 11:11
  the gladiator chases you she was so fast
• 11:14
  up that wall so fast um
• 11:21
  Yeah,
• 11:22
  the step off the side penalized another
• 11:24
  person too.
• 11:25
  Yeah, but that person was like way off,
• 11:27
  way off the side.
• 11:28
  Kyle was like just a tick off.
• 11:33
  Hurricane looked pretty good though.
• 11:35
  Her listed weight was heaviest too.
• 11:37
  No, it was.
• 11:38
  And then they brought in a new gladiator
• 11:40
  at the end who was six,
• 11:42
  four and a half.
• 11:45
  Former college basketball player had put
• 11:47
  on,
• 11:48
  I'm assuming a lot of muscle and
• 11:50
  They had the volleyball player who was
• 11:53
  like six foot two, didn't they?
• 11:55
  Maybe.
• 11:57
  But Danny was the heaviest until this girl
• 12:00
  came and she was just a shy under
• 12:02
  two hundred pounds.
• 12:03
  Oh, geez.
• 12:04
  Yeah.
• 12:07
  So it was.
• 12:11
  At the end,
• 12:12
  I just felt cheated that I invested any
• 12:14
  time in this at all.
• 12:16
  So but I had to get that off
• 12:18
  my chest.
• 12:20
  was something my mom enjoyed watching so
• 12:22
  we watched it together all weekend and i
• 12:26
  was rooting for bailey she was rooting for
• 12:28
  somebody else i was pissed she was happy
• 12:31
  and uh and her girl ended up winning
• 12:32
  the whole damn thing so there it is
• 12:36
  uh what show was margot alvarez on that
• 12:38
  was titan games the one thing that i
• 12:41
  found out in titan games is they didn't
• 12:43
  get to keep the trophy
• 12:45
  They got to keep nothing from the show.
• 12:47
  No outfits, nothing.
• 12:50
  That was told to me by Matt Chan.
• 12:53
  And I hope at least the winners of
• 12:57
  Gladiators got to keep the trophy.
• 13:01
  I hope.
• 13:02
  Yeah.
• 13:05
  I miss the old AD steroids from the
• 13:07
  OG Gladiators.
• 13:10
  uh crossfit i think the new gladiators are
• 13:14
  using some stuff yeah some of them have
• 13:19
  been on reality shows and they were much
• 13:21
  smaller than just saying yeah um uh they
• 13:30
  are specific about the angles they filmed
• 13:32
  danny from yeah you're probably right um
• 13:41
  Well, I'm on episode six, I think,
• 13:43
  but it doesn't look like I need to
• 13:45
  watch the rest.
• 13:47
  Sorry, Larry.
• 13:48
  I will say, after the first round,
• 13:51
  they changed all the games,
• 13:53
  most of the games,
• 13:55
  and I like the versions they changed to
• 13:58
  better than what the original ones were.
• 13:59
  Okay.
• 14:02
  Yeah,
• 14:02
  I don't think I even made it to
• 14:03
  episode two.
• 14:04
  I was just, like, so annoyed.
• 14:05
  Like,
• 14:06
  I don't remember them showing the crowd
• 14:09
  that much in...
• 14:10
  The original version.
• 14:12
  They did.
• 14:14
  I don't know.
• 14:15
  I guess I blocked that part out.
• 14:20
  Did they bring back the Nerf gun one?
• 14:21
  They did not.
• 14:22
  That was the best one.
• 14:24
  I like that one.
• 14:25
  Yeah, they did not bring that one back.
• 14:27
  I love that one too.
• 14:32
  So anyway, that's that.
• 14:35
  We can move on to actual sport now.
• 14:39
  Wasn't Larry Zonka an announcer too?
• 14:41
  Yes, he was.
• 14:42
  Mike Adamly and Larry Zonka.
• 14:46
  The Miz leaves a little bit to be
• 14:48
  desired.
• 14:49
  Agree.
• 14:54
  Are you handing out any new stickers at
• 14:55
  Syndicate?
• 14:57
  I have stickers.
• 14:58
  I'll be at Syndicate.
• 15:01
  If you want some, I got some.
• 15:07
  Um, okay.
• 15:08
  So this weekend we had age group
• 15:11
  semifinals in affiliate version.
• 15:15
  Carolyn already punched her ticket.
• 15:17
  We're going to talk about that in a
• 15:18
  little bit, but for now, Jamie,
• 15:22
  you took on the gauntlet of the workouts
• 15:24
  that were provided this weekend.
• 15:29
  First of all, how, how were the workouts?
• 15:32
  Um,
• 15:34
  They're fine.
• 15:35
  It felt like you were kind of repeating
• 15:37
  quarterfinals again.
• 15:38
  It really did.
• 15:39
  Like you're warming up and you're like,
• 15:41
  I've done all this.
• 15:41
  Like we went to the same affiliate and
• 15:46
  the owners came and watched and they
• 15:48
  watched me do one of the workouts.
• 15:49
  And I was like,
• 15:50
  this literally is the same workout you
• 15:52
  watched me do a month and a half
• 15:53
  ago.
• 15:54
  Like I feel bad.
• 15:57
  But yeah, this one was different.
• 16:01
  The rest I felt like literally just were
• 16:05
  repeating.
• 16:08
  I mean, this was a decent workout.
• 16:10
  You had to go hard enough to give
• 16:12
  yourself some time to do the double under
• 16:15
  and handstand walk.
• 16:18
  Decent workout there.
• 16:19
  Workout three, the Jackie one.
• 16:22
  Again,
• 16:23
  you already did the thousand meter row.
• 16:25
  We already... I don't know.
• 16:27
  It was...
• 16:30
  whatever this one's a decent test of
• 16:31
  fitness can you hold on for the second
• 16:34
  round this one was just weird um i
• 16:38
  think this one was a big miss by
• 16:39
  them the amount of ties that are gonna
• 16:41
  be it wasn't it was it should have
• 16:43
  just gone heavier just just do the lot
• 16:46
  like make them do the full ladder like
• 16:48
  the amount of people just finishing the
• 16:50
  ladder tripping over their barbell then
• 16:52
  just trying to quickly do one minute of
• 16:54
  unbroken power cleans is just not the
• 16:57
  right test
• 16:58
  I feel like the deadlift test,
• 17:02
  the double under deadlift test was heavy
• 17:05
  enough.
• 17:05
  Sure.
• 17:05
  It didn't get quite this heavy,
• 17:06
  but heavy enough that like you either were
• 17:09
  strong enough to hold onto it unbroken or
• 17:11
  not.
• 17:13
  And like that probably ranked the
• 17:15
  leaderboard where it should have been.
• 17:17
  That workout was a good enough test that
• 17:20
  I don't think they needed to do that
• 17:22
  again.
• 17:23
  I just think it was a miss.
• 17:26
  The weights were not heavy enough for
• 17:28
  either division.
• 17:29
  Even the five hundred,
• 17:30
  so many guys are pulling that.
• 17:32
  A lot of girls are going to hit
• 17:33
  the three fifteen.
• 17:34
  Just make it go high.
• 17:35
  Make it go to four something for the
• 17:39
  girls.
• 17:39
  If you can't make it,
• 17:42
  you can maybe do extra reps or max.
• 17:44
  I don't know, but it wasn't it.
• 17:50
  What was the point of the power clean?
• 17:52
  There was no point.
• 17:54
  For the tiebreak.
• 17:55
  No, I get that.
• 17:56
  But like the amount of ties that we'll
• 17:57
  see on the tiebreaker.
• 17:58
  Probably.
• 18:00
  I hope that they are.
• 18:03
  That's the one where I think they need
• 18:04
  to be critical on the judging.
• 18:07
  Most people know that cleans are like one
• 18:10
  of my biggest peeves in the sport and
• 18:11
  elbows not thrown on the cleans.
• 18:12
  And I think this is just asking for
• 18:16
  no reps.
• 18:17
  I've already seen like people posting
• 18:19
  videos of their cleans on Facebook or on
• 18:23
  Instagram.
• 18:23
  And I'm like, yeah, those are no reps.
• 18:29
  I mean, this one we already did.
• 18:31
  Can't stand push-up seems a little
• 18:32
  redundant here.
• 18:34
  This would have been great with
• 18:35
  toe-to-bar.
• 18:38
  Yeah,
• 18:38
  I think this one should have been toaster
• 18:39
  bars.
• 18:40
  Because that would have made the grip
• 18:44
  better.
• 18:44
  And then just a higher number of toaster
• 18:46
  bars.
• 18:46
  So it still becomes very lungy.
• 18:51
  Yeah, it's a lot of lunging.
• 18:53
  Jeremy says Jamie is greater than Corey.
• 18:57
  Then he tried his hand at workout one
• 18:59
  yesterday.
• 19:00
  Stung a little, but fun.
• 19:02
  yeah one was tough i have not squat
• 19:06
  snatched maybe three or four times since
• 19:09
  my hip surgery and my shoulders what's
• 19:11
  been bothering me i mean maybe getting
• 19:14
  down into that squat quickly i just can't
• 19:17
  get in good position so that one was
• 19:18
  really rough for me but did the time
• 19:23
  domains feel redundant from open quarters
• 19:25
  legends uh
• 19:31
  well no there wasn't anything like quite
• 19:33
  as quick as that sandbag chest of our
• 19:37
  one at legends that was like super duper
• 19:40
  short but yes otherwise i feel like they
• 19:43
  were quarters well the deadlift one is
• 19:48
  technically ten minutes but it's for like
• 19:50
  a lot of people but it's not really
• 19:51
  it's just an email yeah not really that's
• 19:54
  a short one i
• 19:56
  I think they did a good job testing
• 19:57
  the deadlift capacity in the quarters.
• 20:00
  Like,
• 20:00
  I think that was the way to do
• 20:01
  it with the double unders.
• 20:03
  Are you strong enough to hold onto it?
• 20:04
  I'm broken at the end.
• 20:06
  I don't think they needed that.
• 20:07
  I think that,
• 20:08
  I think they needed a completely different
• 20:09
  test for, for workout for.
• 20:14
  Larry Young says,
• 20:15
  I like them better than quarters,
• 20:17
  even like the strength test.
• 20:18
  But training think tank said the deadlift
• 20:20
  was off because a guy who could deadlift
• 20:22
  six fifty had no advantage over a guy
• 20:25
  with a five fifty max.
• 20:26
  I don't... Okay, fine.
• 20:28
  That's probably true.
• 20:30
  But do we need a guy that can
• 20:33
  deadlift six-fifty and the game's over a
• 20:35
  guy who can deadlift five-hundred?
• 20:36
  For instance, if there's a person who...
• 20:40
  If that five-hundred deadlifter guy beat
• 20:42
  the six-fifty pound deadlift guy in
• 20:44
  quarters... I mean...
• 20:50
  That's really your fitness test.
• 20:51
  Like...
• 20:52
  What if you took out the power cleans
• 20:54
  and you made it a moderate shoulder to
• 20:56
  overhead?
• 20:57
  And then you take out the handstand
• 20:58
  push-ups and you put that toes to bars?
• 21:01
  Because then you would test the deadlift
• 21:03
  to a certain weight,
• 21:04
  which I think should be heavier.
• 21:05
  And then the tiebreaker,
• 21:06
  you're testing another type of strength,
• 21:08
  which is like a shoulder to overhead.
• 21:10
  I guess you have thrusters,
• 21:12
  so I guess not.
• 21:13
  But yeah, something.
• 21:15
  Yeah, you got thrusters.
• 21:16
  You already got squat snatch.
• 21:17
  I feel like... I mean, to be fair,
• 21:19
  I don't feel like...
• 21:20
  I feel like it should have been heavier.
• 21:22
  I don't know.
• 21:23
  I almost think the cleans should have been
• 21:25
  heavier.
• 21:26
  Like it was too light,
• 21:27
  like a ninety five one third.
• 21:28
  Because it makes people like that.
• 21:30
  They're a muscle clean.
• 21:31
  But not really.
• 21:32
  Yeah.
• 21:33
  Get their elbows through.
• 21:34
  Yeah.
• 21:36
  It wasn't it wasn't heavy enough.
• 21:39
  And then it just becomes like a range
• 21:41
  of motion.
• 21:42
  Did you trip over the barbell?
• 21:43
  Where did you put your secondary barbell?
• 21:46
  How fast did you get to it?
• 21:49
  How fast did you even lift your deadlift
• 21:51
  on the minute?
• 21:52
  Did you bend over towards your barbell too
• 21:55
  early on the nine-minute mark?
• 21:57
  A lot of little false starts can matter.
• 22:00
  I don't know.
• 22:01
  I think that one was a miss.
• 22:04
  Mark Phillips, for some,
• 22:05
  it was a barbell cycling workout big miss.
• 22:09
  He also said something about lots of bent
• 22:12
  knees.
• 22:14
  Yeah.
• 22:15
  That happens with deadlift all the time.
• 22:17
  deadlift or the clean they're they're not
• 22:19
  finishing the clean they don't lock out
• 22:22
  their knees i saw a lot of that
• 22:26
  which one was your favorite to do this
• 22:28
  weekend um probably the shuttle burpee
• 22:36
  back jump over i mean i like i
• 22:39
  like the lunge one because i like lunging
• 22:42
  and i like handstand push-ups
• 22:44
  I don't know that I'd say it was
• 22:45
  my favorite though.
• 22:47
  It's just like,
• 22:48
  it's just the two movements.
• 22:49
  At least there was like something to the,
• 22:51
  you know,
• 22:51
  you did one thing and another thing.
• 22:52
  So there's more to it.
• 22:56
  I don't know.
• 22:57
  I did a lot of judging this weekend.
• 22:59
  Did you?
• 23:00
  Yeah.
• 23:01
  But I felt the responsibility to help
• 23:06
  anyone that needed because I know how it
• 23:08
  feels to need a judge.
• 23:10
  And I was like,
• 23:11
  I can be available anytime, anywhere.
• 23:14
  Let me know.
• 23:17
  Just because I didn't have to do them
• 23:19
  this weekend.
• 23:19
  So it was my turn to give back.
• 23:25
  Yeah, that's awesome.
• 23:26
  That's awesome.
• 23:28
  So...
• 23:30
  Jamie, you've been doing this for a while.
• 23:33
  Do you think you're in a good position
• 23:34
  moving forward?
• 23:38
  I don't know.
• 23:42
  I think it depends on like who's talking
• 23:48
  to who and who's getting,
• 23:49
  I don't have very much information.
• 23:51
  I did speak with Jen a little bit.
• 23:53
  She tested a couple of them.
• 23:55
  Um,
• 23:57
  And then I've spoken with Lori Winkleman,
• 24:01
  also not my age bracket.
• 24:02
  Um,
• 24:03
  so I've had two people that I've talked
• 24:05
  to other than that,
• 24:06
  I have like zero information.
• 24:09
  So it's like, I have no idea.
• 24:10
  I mean,
• 24:11
  I'm okay with four of the workouts.
• 24:15
  One of them I'm not too keen on.
• 24:18
  Um, but I never have any clue.
• 24:20
  Like, I mean,
• 24:21
  fifteen is definitely tougher than thirty.
• 24:25
  I would feel confident in.
• 24:31
  I'm always injured, Ken.
• 24:33
  It's fine.
• 24:33
  How many people have signed up in your
• 24:35
  division?
• 24:36
  How many pages are you guys at?
• 24:37
  I don't know.
• 24:39
  I just opened the app to put in
• 24:41
  my scores.
• 24:43
  You can't see that.
• 24:44
  I'd have to get online and see how
• 24:46
  many pages there are.
• 24:47
  I'm going to go look.
• 24:50
  I don't know though.
• 24:51
  Like that is, that's what's really hard.
• 24:54
  Like online is a mind fuck.
• 24:55
  Like you,
• 24:56
  you have no clue unless you have people
• 24:58
  that you can,
• 24:59
  I mean like it would have been nice
• 25:00
  if Carolyn was doing some of the workouts
• 25:02
  and could have given me some, some idea.
• 25:08
  I don't know.
• 25:09
  Should have asked.
• 25:10
  I would have done them for you.
• 25:12
  Yeah.
• 25:13
  I did not feel good on Thursday and
• 25:15
  Friday at all.
• 25:16
  Like,
• 25:18
  I don't know if I was getting sick
• 25:19
  or what was going on.
• 25:20
  I did a couple of the workouts,
• 25:22
  totally messed up the deadlift workout.
• 25:24
  We had the bar bars loaded wrong the
• 25:26
  whole time.
• 25:28
  So essentially I was starting from scratch
• 25:30
  yesterday.
• 25:32
  Like I did three workouts yesterday and
• 25:34
  two today.
• 25:35
  So I have one question for Carolyn and
• 25:37
  then I'm going to come back to that.
• 25:40
  Denise wanted to know,
• 25:42
  did it feel weird not to compete in
• 25:44
  the online semifinal this weekend?
• 25:46
  I felt like I was late for a
• 25:48
  test at school every morning.
• 25:52
  It felt weird.
• 25:53
  It felt like nice, to be honest,
• 25:55
  to not have any pressure,
• 25:56
  to not just to be able to help
• 25:59
  people and judge.
• 26:00
  But it did feel weird that I didn't
• 26:02
  have to do it.
• 26:02
  I was like, man,
• 26:04
  do I just sign up and do them?
• 26:07
  Just ruin people's leaderboard.
• 26:09
  Affect some of the workers.
• 26:13
  I was like, okay, these are nice tests.
• 26:14
  I like them.
• 26:15
  There's none of them that I don't like.
• 26:18
  Mark says it looks like four full pages
• 26:20
  of forty to forty-four.
• 26:22
  So two hundred.
• 26:25
  So Jamie, you said...
• 26:28
  messed up weights oh my god do we
• 26:31
  do we want that story yes i would
• 26:34
  start it at like an idiot so only
• 26:37
  got to because you just you didn't put
• 26:42
  the lives got it so so you finished
• 26:47
  that workout with the wrong weights yeah
• 26:50
  like you went all the way through the
• 26:51
  max power yeah oh yeah
• 26:55
  Do you think that helped you the next
• 26:57
  day when you did it again?
• 26:59
  Or did it hurt you?
• 27:05
  I don't know.
• 27:11
  That's a good question.
• 27:13
  I guess I kind of knew what to
• 27:14
  expect on cleans.
• 27:20
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 27:24
  So,
• 27:27
  how hard were you kicking yourself then
• 27:29
  right after you did it?
• 27:34
  A little bit.
• 27:35
  I felt pretty good for that workout.
• 27:37
  Like I said, like that was,
• 27:38
  so that was Friday and I was not
• 27:41
  like crap on Thursday, Friday.
• 27:45
  I was like, I don't know,
• 27:48
  maybe starting to feel better,
• 27:49
  but I wasn't feeling great.
• 27:51
  I had done the rope climb workout and
• 27:53
  like kind of imploded.
• 27:55
  And then after that, I was like,
• 27:57
  Well, I feel like I'm warm.
• 27:59
  I'm going to try the deadlift.
• 28:00
  And that I felt fine for.
• 28:03
  I mean,
• 28:03
  I guess there's no real cardio capacity
• 28:05
  there.
• 28:08
  So I don't know.
• 28:10
  But I feel like I felt way better
• 28:12
  yesterday.
• 28:14
  Whatever I had finally passed through me,
• 28:18
  I guess.
• 28:19
  I could breathe.
• 28:20
  My lungs...
• 28:21
  I was getting blood flow to my
• 28:24
  extremities.
• 28:25
  I felt like my arms were not recovering.
• 28:27
  I was not getting blood out to my
• 28:29
  extremities.
• 28:33
  CrossFit says Jamie and Fi are the same
• 28:35
  injured.
• 28:42
  So then the last kind of kerfuffle of
• 28:45
  the weekend with you was because you
• 28:49
  cannot work out in your home gym.
• 28:51
  You and you have to go to somewhere
• 28:53
  else.
• 28:54
  You had to bring your own climbing rope.
• 28:58
  And your ceilings aren't that high.
• 29:01
  So you actually went badass mama and did
• 29:06
  the workout with shorty ropes.
• 29:08
  Yeah, it's not super short.
• 29:10
  Don't get me wrong.
• 29:10
  It's just it wasn't touching the ground.
• 29:12
  It's like two feet off the ground.
• 29:15
  So, yeah,
• 29:15
  it is like jumping up and which makes
• 29:18
  the tail wave around a little more.
• 29:20
  But yeah.
• 29:22
  which one of the five is your worst
• 29:24
  one the rope climb see like i think
• 29:28
  that's the least damage if i think that
• 29:33
  one is not as dan like damaged because
• 29:36
  i feel like more people would struggle
• 29:37
  with that one than a lower skilled barrier
• 29:40
  to entry workout like
• 29:43
  The deadlift or the double under one.
• 29:47
  As soon as there's a higher skill,
• 29:50
  if that's your weakness,
• 29:52
  it normally doesn't crush you as much as
• 29:55
  you think it could if it was another
• 30:00
  one.
• 30:01
  That's just my observation.
• 30:03
  We'll see.
• 30:05
  I feel like I'm great at rope climbs.
• 30:06
  I just can't squat snatch right now.
• 30:11
  How did I find...
• 30:13
  I got in the car to drive home
• 30:16
  and I was like,
• 30:17
  just that felt too easy.
• 30:20
  Like I was, I mean,
• 30:21
  I wasn't really unsure that I can even
• 30:25
  pull three, fifteen.
• 30:26
  I've only ever done it once in my
• 30:27
  life.
• 30:30
  And then,
• 30:30
  and Jim was in the car and he's
• 30:32
  like, well, and like,
• 30:35
  so Jim like kind of knew the whole
• 30:36
  time,
• 30:36
  but never spoke up while he's judging.
• 30:39
  So he's like, well, was it?
• 30:41
  And then I'm like,
• 30:42
  I'm doing the plate math and I'm like,
• 30:44
  damn it.
• 30:47
  Yeah.
• 30:47
  I was like, yeah,
• 30:49
  it was like the whole time.
• 30:50
  That must be so frustrating,
• 30:52
  especially cause it's not your gym.
• 30:53
  You can't just go back quickly another
• 30:56
  day.
• 30:56
  Like you have to go and schedule another
• 30:57
  time to do it.
• 31:00
  Are you redoing any?
• 31:02
  No, I, so I did the,
• 31:03
  I did three yesterday and two today.
• 31:05
  I'm that's it.
• 31:06
  I'm done.
• 31:07
  What was, what order did you go?
• 31:09
  So if you just take what I did,
• 31:12
  the three yesterday, I went shuttle,
• 31:16
  deadlift, handstand, push-up one.
• 31:21
  Which I feel like those were totally
• 31:22
  doable in one day.
• 31:23
  I feel like that could have been a
• 31:24
  comp day easy.
• 31:25
  It was fine.
• 31:27
  And then I did Jackie when I got
• 31:30
  to the gym today.
• 31:31
  And then like an hour and a half
• 31:32
  later, I did the rope climb to finish.
• 31:38
  So you did your worst one last?
• 31:40
  Yes.
• 31:42
  And you went with your strongest workout
• 31:43
  first to try to get as high as
• 31:45
  possible?
• 31:47
  I'm trying to understand your order of
• 31:49
  events because if your worst one that you
• 31:51
  knew was number one,
• 31:53
  which is the rope climb one,
• 31:55
  I personally would do that first.
• 31:57
  Well, I did it second, technically.
• 32:01
  The snatch one?
• 32:03
  Yeah, I had done it on Friday.
• 32:04
  Oh, okay.
• 32:08
  And the redo was today.
• 32:10
  Correct.
• 32:10
  Okay.
• 32:16
  Sherry asked, Jamie,
• 32:18
  did you do better or worse redoing with
• 32:20
  the ten plus pounds?
• 32:23
  On the cleans, I think, maybe.
• 32:25
  On the deadlift clean?
• 32:27
  Or do you not want to say?
• 32:30
  Did you get more cleans or less cleans?
• 32:32
  I got more cleans.
• 32:33
  There you go.
• 32:34
  That's good.
• 32:34
  Good.
• 32:39
  Uh, two pulling back to back.
• 32:43
  Ouch.
• 32:44
  So I do, I will say,
• 32:48
  I think I could have done better at
• 32:49
  the rope climb one.
• 32:50
  I'll maybe I'll kick myself for that,
• 32:53
  but I'm not going back tomorrow.
• 32:54
  I'm not.
• 32:56
  I'm not going, you know,
• 32:57
  inconveniencing the gym,
• 32:58
  and I need to get Ronica in gym
• 33:01
  for judges.
• 33:02
  Like, I'm not doing that.
• 33:03
  It is what it is.
• 33:04
  If I miss again,
• 33:06
  it's just not meant to be.
• 33:07
  Like, I didn't outlunge Carly,
• 33:09
  and if this wasn't enough,
• 33:12
  it is what it is.
• 33:17
  Lots of come on gyms and oof gyms.
• 33:21
  Gotta speak up, dude.
• 33:22
  Come on.
• 33:22
  Like, just...
• 33:24
  He did really good judging to, uh,
• 33:26
  yesterday though.
• 33:27
  Like he's like yelling each way.
• 33:30
  He's like two seventy-five, you know,
• 33:33
  to the camera.
• 33:34
  He's yelling.
• 33:36
  We got it now.
• 33:37
  He was not going to make the mistake.
• 33:38
  Got it.
• 33:39
  Um, where do you feel like your,
• 33:43
  do you feel like your goals have changed?
• 33:47
  Like a few months ago,
• 33:49
  you weren't even thinking that you were
• 33:51
  going to do the semifinals.
• 33:52
  And here you are, you know,
• 33:54
  analyzing and fighting to try to get in
• 33:56
  that top fifteen, like because, you know,
• 33:59
  you have a legit shot.
• 34:00
  Like as the workouts came out,
• 34:02
  as you're as you're doing them this
• 34:03
  weekend,
• 34:04
  like how was your mentality in terms of.
• 34:10
  So I will say,
• 34:11
  I told Scott this because he kept saying
• 34:12
  that too.
• 34:14
  I personally don't think I ever thought I
• 34:16
  wasn't going to be able to do them.
• 34:19
  Programming depends.
• 34:20
  Like, I mean,
• 34:21
  I suppose if there would have been a
• 34:22
  hundred and twenty-five pound overhead
• 34:24
  squat or hundred and fifty-five pound
• 34:27
  snatches, I would have been like,
• 34:28
  this isn't worth signing up.
• 34:30
  Like,
• 34:31
  if it would have been like a couple
• 34:32
  years ago with the row.
• 34:34
  Shuttles and the snatch.
• 34:35
  Yeah, I think it was just row snatch.
• 34:37
  I think they were shuttles, I thought.
• 34:40
  I don't know.
• 34:41
  Um,
• 34:41
  if there would have been another workout
• 34:42
  like that, I would have been like,
• 34:43
  I don't think this is worth it.
• 34:44
  Like, I, I just, I can't snatch that.
• 34:47
  Um, and, and like,
• 34:51
  unless there was four absolute wheelhouse
• 34:53
  workouts with me for the other four and
• 34:56
  like, you know, I don't know, maybe,
• 34:59
  maybe I would have had to look at
• 35:00
  him and like, Oh,
• 35:00
  I can try and see if that one
• 35:02
  knocks me out.
• 35:03
  I don't,
• 35:06
  I always knew I would be able to
• 35:07
  do the Open regardless and figured I'd get
• 35:10
  through the quarterfinals.
• 35:12
  And then it was always going to be,
• 35:13
  let's see what the workouts are for semis
• 35:15
  and see if I can do them.
• 35:17
  To be fair,
• 35:18
  I don't think these are great workouts for
• 35:20
  me.
• 35:22
  Every single workout,
• 35:23
  everything that I am good at is paired
• 35:26
  with something I'm terrible at.
• 35:29
  Okay,
• 35:29
  what were you bad at in number two
• 35:32
  with the burpee, box jump over,
• 35:34
  shuttle runs, double unders,
• 35:36
  and handstand walk?
• 35:41
  So shuttling has not been good for me.
• 35:43
  I haven't really been able to do a
• 35:45
  lot of it.
• 35:46
  Pivoting.
• 35:47
  And then even box jump overs has been
• 35:50
  really rough on my knee.
• 35:52
  And I'm not fast on my hands at
• 35:54
  all.
• 35:55
  I...
• 35:57
  Like I will get beat there.
• 35:58
  If it's like truly a handstand walk speed
• 36:00
  test, I will get beat.
• 36:03
  I'm not fast on my hands,
• 36:04
  but I can walk pretty long distances.
• 36:07
  And if there's enough stuff,
• 36:08
  I can hang in there.
• 36:10
  Cause I feel like that one on paper,
• 36:12
  I would think that you're good at the
• 36:14
  double Jackie.
• 36:16
  Like you're strong on the row.
• 36:18
  You have great like chest of bars.
• 36:20
  I know that you can thruster that way.
• 36:21
  It's not that heavy and you have good
• 36:23
  like capacity there.
• 36:24
  So like to me,
• 36:25
  those two workouts out of the five,
• 36:27
  I already know you should get very high
• 36:29
  scores there,
• 36:30
  regardless of what your snatch is.
• 36:32
  Like I know that those would be good.
• 36:35
  the deadlift is probably a best case
• 36:37
  scenario for you in terms of like,
• 36:39
  it could have been a heavy snatch.
• 36:40
  It could have been, you know,
• 36:44
  like scenario almost.
• 36:46
  It was,
• 36:47
  if there's going to be a strength test,
• 36:48
  that was probably the best thing that
• 36:51
  could have come up.
• 36:51
  And they didn't go as heavy as they
• 36:52
  could have, which also saves you.
• 36:54
  Yeah, for sure.
• 36:55
  And you know,
• 36:55
  you can power clean better than, you know,
• 36:57
  I mean,
• 36:58
  you probably are going to go with good
• 36:59
  technique and honest reps,
• 37:01
  which might be at the detriment of your
• 37:03
  score sometimes.
• 37:04
  Yep.
• 37:04
  Um,
• 37:07
  Can we get real real here though for
• 37:08
  a second?
• 37:09
  Sure.
• 37:10
  Cause, uh,
• 37:11
  Jamie and I had a text conversation this
• 37:13
  weekend and I asked her like, why?
• 37:16
  Cause after the,
• 37:19
  like we were talking and she was not
• 37:20
  in a good headspace.
• 37:22
  And I'm like,
• 37:23
  I thought this was like a bonus year.
• 37:25
  You had the hip surgery.
• 37:27
  This was just about like getting back and
• 37:29
  just seeing how it went.
• 37:31
  And she basically said that she lied to
• 37:34
  us, Carolyn.
• 37:36
  All along,
• 37:36
  she thought she would be able to do
• 37:38
  all this stuff.
• 37:39
  She was just telling us that.
• 37:42
  I didn't want anyone to have expectations
• 37:44
  of me.
• 37:47
  It takes the pressure off of you.
• 37:49
  I know, but we're past all that now.
• 37:50
  And now you're actually competing.
• 37:54
  Yeah,
• 37:55
  I think it's partially because I told you
• 37:57
  this.
• 37:58
  When Dave was like, it's the twentieth.
• 38:01
  If there's ever games you're going to be
• 38:02
  at,
• 38:02
  this is the games you want to be
• 38:03
  at.
• 38:04
  We're coming back together.
• 38:05
  Although, the more I hear things about it,
• 38:08
  I'm like, are we really?
• 38:09
  Originally, that was the whole thing.
• 38:11
  I was like, that's all I ever wanted.
• 38:12
  I didn't make it in twenty-three to
• 38:13
  Madison,
• 38:14
  and I was pissed off because I went
• 38:15
  to ten.
• 38:16
  Every year, shit changes on me.
• 38:19
  And I miss out on the good thing.
• 38:22
  And
• 38:23
  So I'm like,
• 38:24
  I really want to make this one if
• 38:26
  we're going to all be together back for
• 38:29
  the twentieth anniversary.
• 38:31
  So that's what I told my husband.
• 38:33
  I was like,
• 38:33
  I just want to make it.
• 38:34
  Like,
• 38:35
  I don't care if I get last at
• 38:36
  the games.
• 38:36
  Of course,
• 38:37
  that'll change if I freaking make it.
• 38:38
  But I was like,
• 38:39
  I just want to make it.
• 38:40
  Yeah.
• 38:40
  Yeah.
• 38:44
  I should have known when she said it
• 38:46
  because I've been around her long enough
• 38:48
  in the last few years.
• 38:50
  Whenever she laces up the nanos,
• 38:53
  it's all in.
• 38:55
  There's never a half-assed approach to
• 38:59
  anything Jamie does.
• 39:02
  And so when she came to me with
• 39:04
  the bad headspace the other night and I
• 39:07
  was trying to find ways to get her
• 39:12
  perspective just to pivot,
• 39:15
  I realized that she was full on in
• 39:19
  to try to make this games.
• 39:25
  And it really,
• 39:26
  she's saying if there was a heavy snatch,
• 39:28
  she still would have tried to kill the
• 39:29
  other events to outdo the snatch.
• 39:33
  I probably would have.
• 39:34
  I mean,
• 39:35
  if there was like three bad workouts,
• 39:36
  I would have been like,
• 39:37
  I'm not signing up.
• 39:37
  I'm just going to hurt myself or be
• 39:40
  really frustrated with the results.
• 39:41
  But yeah, I don't know.
• 39:47
  Yeah.
• 39:48
  So we'll see where these should go.
• 39:50
  I don't know.
• 39:50
  I literally have no clue.
• 39:52
  I could be, like I said,
• 39:54
  it could be thirtieth or first.
• 39:57
  That's not true.
• 39:58
  No, I will not be first.
• 39:59
  I can tell you that.
• 40:00
  I didn't say first.
• 40:01
  I said that you are not going to
• 40:02
  settle for thirtieth.
• 40:03
  So what I want to go to now
• 40:08
  is public votes on the videos are during
• 40:13
  this part of the season.
• 40:16
  Are you happy about that or worried about
• 40:19
  that?
• 40:21
  I mean, I, I mean,
• 40:26
  I feel like I move well.
• 40:28
  So like, I'm not super worried about mine.
• 40:31
  I do feel like people just click review
• 40:34
  regardless.
• 40:35
  I like, I hope,
• 40:37
  I hope they've changed the format of
• 40:39
  reviewing that.
• 40:40
  There's like a,
• 40:42
  you either put in a timestamp or what,
• 40:43
  like,
• 40:44
  know at minute three didn't lock out their
• 40:48
  knees with the elbows through um or
• 40:51
  whatever it is like i hope there's a
• 40:54
  little more to it rather than just
• 40:56
  clicking needs review i think you actually
• 40:58
  have to leave comments that do you think
• 41:01
  your name should be attached to your vote
• 41:04
  yeah i don't think that's a bad idea
• 41:06
  at all i agree
• 41:10
  Because a lot of times, like last year,
• 41:14
  people just liked every top person,
• 41:16
  almost in every division.
• 41:19
  And a lot of times,
• 41:19
  it's like your competitors that just want
• 41:21
  your videos reviewed and whatnot.
• 41:24
  But I'd like to see the name sometimes
• 41:26
  attached to it.
• 41:27
  Do these people know that's what's
• 41:29
  happening?
• 41:29
  It's review and why?
• 41:32
  I believe I was told that by Andrew
• 41:33
  Sten.
• 41:34
  Okay.
• 41:36
  I'm going off my memory,
• 41:37
  which I've had a lot going on this
• 41:39
  week, so...
• 41:41
  I think,
• 41:42
  I believe that is what I was told.
• 41:45
  And he's review with reason.
• 41:47
  I think that's a good change.
• 41:50
  Like that's a step in the right direction.
• 41:53
  Yeah,
• 41:53
  I think if you have to give a
• 41:54
  reason, then...
• 41:57
  Well,
• 41:57
  it also helps them on the other side
• 41:59
  to flag whatever they're looking for to
• 42:02
  make the process faster.
• 42:03
  Because just being flagged,
• 42:05
  that doesn't help them.
• 42:06
  They have to watch the whole video.
• 42:10
  But it can be something very quick,
• 42:11
  like equipment off.
• 42:15
  It was also discovered this week.
• 42:17
  I think I found out from Dave Hardy.
• 42:20
  earlier in the week that magic city did
• 42:23
  not test just like legends.
• 42:26
  And there will be no testing for age
• 42:28
  group athletes before the games.
• 42:32
  Frustrating for sure.
• 42:38
  Not surprised.
• 42:40
  I was at Legends before the last event
• 42:42
  and then I'm going towards the crowd and
• 42:46
  I go,
• 42:46
  do we have to bring our IDs?
• 42:48
  Because normally before the last event,
• 42:50
  especially the final heat,
• 42:51
  you have to bring your IDs.
• 42:52
  And they're like, no,
• 42:52
  we're not testing the masters.
• 42:53
  I'm like, you want my ID?
• 42:55
  You want my ID?
• 42:55
  You want...
• 42:58
  Come on, test us.
• 43:00
  And they're like, no, we're not testing.
• 43:03
  Only the top or only four individuals on
• 43:08
  each, like four men, four women, I think.
• 43:10
  And I was like, come on.
• 43:14
  It's like, really?
• 43:16
  Test, test, test.
• 43:18
  What makes me nervous is those at French
• 43:22
  and those at LATAM,
• 43:24
  and Torian are like, hey,
• 43:26
  I get an extra four weeks on my
• 43:28
  cycle.
• 43:33
  So it's, gosh, it just sucks.
• 43:38
  It sucks that I just don't,
• 43:42
  I don't even know if there's a solution.
• 43:46
  Well,
• 43:47
  the solution is definitely not in-person
• 43:50
  semis, this many spots.
• 43:53
  set up this way this is this is
• 43:56
  not the solution for masters you don't
• 43:58
  like um having online or in-person semis
• 44:01
  no this is very poorly set up like
• 44:07
  at all you don't want any especially for
• 44:09
  three especially for three spots in like
• 44:12
  latam and torian like who the there that's
• 44:16
  too many
• 44:23
  I think it was poorly executed.
• 44:25
  I think it's a great concept and a
• 44:27
  great idea,
• 44:28
  but I think they just threw it all
• 44:30
  at the wall and said,
• 44:32
  you guys wanted this,
• 44:33
  here is all of it, instead of saying,
• 44:35
  let's be strategic about this and come up
• 44:38
  with a plan.
• 44:41
  i love the idea i want masters to
• 44:43
  be in person but i've said it a
• 44:45
  million times i think it should just be
• 44:48
  to until they figure it out and then
• 44:55
  when they can figure something out then
• 44:58
  expand it maybe a little bit i like
• 45:01
  that idea i think that's yeah great great
• 45:03
  and like two heats
• 45:07
  Yeah, way too many people.
• 45:09
  That's my other big, like,
• 45:12
  you're just supporting these comps off the
• 45:15
  backs of masters at this point to the
• 45:17
  point where, like,
• 45:19
  it's not beneficial for viewers to watch.
• 45:23
  You're saturating the leaderboard with
• 45:25
  people who, like, aren't.
• 45:29
  Like, you don't – I mean,
• 45:30
  I think even, like,
• 45:31
  on – was it on the girls on
• 45:33
  Filter?
• 45:34
  They were talking about that.
• 45:35
  Like,
• 45:36
  you want to make sure the right people
• 45:38
  are signing up and are there so that
• 45:39
  there's people to middle the leaderboard.
• 45:41
  And when you start inviting,
• 45:42
  like – and no offense to any of
• 45:45
  my competitors who got the chance to go
• 45:46
  and were in, like,
• 45:47
  the three hundreds and got an invite.
• 45:49
  Like, I'm sure it was a great experience,
• 45:51
  but it does,
• 45:52
  like –
• 45:55
  There's like,
• 45:56
  they just need to only have people there
• 45:58
  and they use the final result.
• 46:02
  And I think the other thing is if
• 46:03
  you're going to do in person,
• 46:05
  then you have to minimize the,
• 46:07
  the in affiliate number,
• 46:10
  or you might as well not do in
• 46:11
  person because so many people took the
• 46:16
  option of an affiliate.
• 46:17
  Right.
• 46:20
  And it left us with a weak field
• 46:22
  in all of the other in-person.
• 46:27
  Like I could have easily just done the
• 46:28
  in-affiliate.
• 46:29
  I just wanted to do a competition.
• 46:31
  Like my goal is to do a competition
• 46:33
  before NorCal about a month away from each
• 46:37
  other and just get a competition in.
• 46:40
  And then I decided to do WFP and
• 46:43
  I had already registered.
• 46:45
  And I was like, okay,
• 46:45
  I guess I'm doing a bunch of comps
• 46:46
  right now.
• 46:47
  But like...
• 46:49
  I don't know if I do the,
• 46:50
  I mean, I don't know.
• 46:52
  I'll probably do an in-person semi next
• 46:54
  year if it's available.
• 46:56
  I mean,
• 46:56
  I think the top people in the leaderboard
• 46:58
  need to do the in-person semis.
• 47:01
  I think, like, I don't, as it stands,
• 47:03
  I don't think we will have the top
• 47:05
  thirty fittest masters.
• 47:08
  We don't have the top thirty athletes in
• 47:11
  the individual.
• 47:11
  Yeah, I agree.
• 47:13
  But I think it'll be even more blatant.
• 47:15
  We have never gotten the top thirty.
• 47:18
  Ever.
• 47:19
  It'll be better with opening up.
• 47:22
  I mean,
• 47:23
  you got the girls out of Copa Sur.
• 47:26
  It's going to be better than it's been
• 47:27
  in the past, but yes.
• 47:30
  I mean, it's still an issue,
• 47:31
  and it's going to be even more...
• 47:34
  There's going to be some very good
• 47:35
  individuals left off this year that had
• 47:39
  one semifinal,
• 47:40
  then they were looking to do the online,
• 47:41
  and then there's a bunch of people looking
• 47:43
  to do the online,
• 47:43
  and there's only seven spots.
• 47:46
  Right?
• 47:46
  Yeah.
• 47:48
  The thing is, like,
• 47:50
  we didn't have the option.
• 47:51
  So, okay, again, it's a problem because,
• 47:54
  like,
• 47:55
  Jason's able to call French Throwdown and
• 47:57
  be like, hey,
• 47:57
  can I come to French Throwdown?
• 47:58
  And, of course, they're going to let him.
• 48:02
  I didn't get the option to call Magic
• 48:04
  City and be like, hey,
• 48:05
  I just missed out by one spot.
• 48:06
  Can I come there and get in?
• 48:08
  Which I feel like that's what needed to
• 48:10
  happen.
• 48:10
  That's how you get the best people to
• 48:12
  the games.
• 48:18
  That Hopper thing is...
• 48:20
  I'm sure the people there are pissed
• 48:23
  because you're expecting...
• 48:26
  There was not supposed to be any invites.
• 48:28
  Then they invited Roman,
• 48:30
  but then they replaced that with, I guess,
• 48:32
  technically Hopper.
• 48:34
  They had told all these Europeans, no,
• 48:36
  you have to do the online qualifier or...
• 48:40
  you do like from the quarterfinals,
• 48:42
  the top Europeans only get invited and
• 48:45
  that's based off of their quarterfinals.
• 48:47
  So then just getting a special invite is,
• 48:51
  yeah, I don't know.
• 48:52
  I don't like that.
• 48:53
  I would hate that.
• 49:00
  Being strategic about my season.
• 49:03
  And I said, okay,
• 49:04
  my best shot is French.
• 49:06
  And then all of a sudden, last minute,
• 49:08
  you let the fittest man on earth in.
• 49:11
  You just took away one of the spots.
• 49:14
  Hypothetically.
• 49:15
  I mean, anything can happen in sports,
• 49:17
  but.
• 49:20
  I know.
• 49:20
  And people will be like, oh,
• 49:21
  we'll get fitter to beat him.
• 49:22
  But it just is.
• 49:24
  You have these rules and these people plan
• 49:26
  their seasons off of that qualifier and
• 49:29
  that rule.
• 49:31
  And then it got changed.
• 49:31
  Yep.
• 49:32
  Yep.
• 49:33
  yep um like it's not it's not their
• 49:37
  fault that he didn't plan for that uh
• 49:43
  last year france got hosed by big name
• 49:45
  wfp pullouts though so they're gonna take
• 49:48
  any big name they can get us of
• 49:50
  course i mean like it's hard to say
• 49:52
  no to the champ and then the thing
• 49:55
  that helped him was that roman was their
• 49:57
  invite and then roman qualified
• 50:02
  So if they had already pissed off people,
• 50:05
  replace it with another one that's going
• 50:06
  to piss off people anyways.
• 50:08
  So, I mean, it's the same thing.
• 50:11
  Whether it's Jason or Roman,
• 50:12
  they both didn't do the online qualifier.
• 50:16
  There you are.
• 50:18
  There you are.
• 50:20
  French is on our list,
• 50:21
  but before we jump to... Zach,
• 50:25
  MP Fit Co.
• 50:27
  Zach Gibbon.
• 50:29
  I did see that you also got fourth,
• 50:31
  Zach.
• 50:31
  I...
• 50:32
  I felt your pain.
• 50:34
  Missed you.
• 50:36
  I would have liked to have been there.
• 50:37
  I probably would have scheduled you to go
• 50:39
  to that one.
• 50:39
  I didn't.
• 50:41
  I did.
• 50:43
  I did.
• 50:45
  I'll have to read out to you, Zach,
• 50:46
  and see how an affiliate is going for
• 50:49
  you.
• 50:50
  So what I wanted to do is ask
• 50:53
  Carolyn,
• 50:53
  because she hasn't been here in two weeks,
• 50:55
  is what your experience was like at WFP.
• 50:59
  And your experience at legends,
• 51:01
  you've had a big two weeks.
• 51:05
  And then I've got some follow-up
• 51:06
  questions.
• 51:08
  Experience at legends.
• 51:10
  Um, it was fun.
• 51:12
  Yeah.
• 51:12
  I mean, short five workouts,
• 51:15
  body felt fine.
• 51:16
  Didn't feel too beat up from it.
• 51:18
  Um,
• 51:19
  I felt like the volume wasn't super high
• 51:21
  on the weekend.
• 51:22
  Those stepper machines are horrible,
• 51:24
  especially the ski.
• 51:25
  That was like a damper.
• 51:27
  Yeah.
• 51:29
  Um, I couldn't get that thing going.
• 51:32
  But really that workout I felt played on
• 51:34
  the double-enders.
• 51:35
  A hundred percent.
• 51:35
  Like much more than the machines.
• 51:37
  To me, it was a double-ender workout.
• 51:39
  I mean,
• 51:39
  it's always going to be a double-ender
• 51:40
  workout for me, but yeah, that was fine.
• 51:45
  It was like,
• 51:46
  it was weird for me to do the
• 51:48
  master's division and then be able to talk
• 51:50
  to some of my competitors that are
• 51:52
  normally in the elite division and tell
• 51:53
  them how the workout was.
• 51:55
  Yeah.
• 51:56
  Um,
• 51:57
  because I had a lot of like conversations
• 51:58
  with a couple of the athletes that were
• 52:01
  doing the workouts after me.
• 52:02
  So it was just like a new position
• 52:04
  that I could be in because they were
• 52:05
  asking me how it was.
• 52:06
  And I could literally tell them every
• 52:08
  strategy or pace or whatever,
• 52:10
  because they're not competing against me
• 52:13
  that weekend.
• 52:14
  So that was like an interesting, um,
• 52:17
  twist to it.
• 52:18
  And yeah,
• 52:19
  I was just happy to punch my ticket.
• 52:21
  Denise wants to know how you felt about
• 52:24
  Lex beating you on the workout one.
• 52:26
  Her big goal of the weekend was to
• 52:28
  beat me in one workout.
• 52:29
  And she knew that that was the one
• 52:31
  that she could beat me on.
• 52:33
  And then she beat me by a second.
• 52:36
  She walked so fast over to my side
• 52:39
  to see that sheet and to look at
• 52:41
  my score and notice that she was one
• 52:44
  second faster.
• 52:45
  And like literally within like two seconds
• 52:47
  of finishing the workout, she's like,
• 52:49
  I got faster than you by a second.
• 52:52
  I can't believe it was that close.
• 52:54
  One second.
• 52:56
  So it was funny.
• 52:58
  So she had a big crew that were
• 52:59
  like supporting her.
• 53:00
  So yeah, it was fun.
• 53:04
  Yeah.
• 53:04
  But like,
• 53:05
  I knew that I could lose to her
• 53:06
  on that one.
• 53:07
  Actually,
• 53:07
  we were the first two to the skipping
• 53:08
  rope of that workout.
• 53:10
  So I looked over and I was like,
• 53:11
  damn, it's me versus you right now.
• 53:17
  So you punch your ticket for the age
• 53:19
  group at Legends.
• 53:23
  Then a week later,
• 53:24
  you fly halfway around the world.
• 53:28
  I go back to work.
• 53:29
  I went to work and worked for a
• 53:30
  few days.
• 53:31
  And then Wednesday, I left.
• 53:34
  Like most people,
• 53:35
  some people left from like San Diego to
• 53:40
  London.
• 53:41
  Yeah.
• 53:41
  I didn't get there until Thursday,
• 53:43
  like the day before competition,
• 53:45
  because I'm working the Wednesday because
• 53:48
  I could not miss all those days back
• 53:50
  to back.
• 53:51
  So I got in Thursday,
• 53:53
  registered and then competed the following
• 53:55
  day.
• 53:56
  I didn't feel like jet lag.
• 53:58
  I felt like I stayed up well on
• 54:00
  the Thursday to try to sleep well.
• 54:03
  at a somewhat decent time.
• 54:05
  Um, the, I like the WFP a lot.
• 54:10
  I thought that they treated the athletes
• 54:11
  very, very well.
• 54:12
  I love the production.
• 54:14
  Um, the broadcast was great.
• 54:16
  Uh, the events were good events.
• 54:19
  Um,
• 54:20
  there was like a lot of time between
• 54:22
  the events to recover, um,
• 54:24
  They had an athlete area.
• 54:25
  They had food for us.
• 54:26
  They had free massage.
• 54:28
  A lot of people in the background doing
• 54:31
  massage therapy, physio,
• 54:33
  all that for free.
• 54:34
  At Legends,
• 54:35
  it was really expensive to just get taped
• 54:37
  and just anything.
• 54:39
  And here, you were just taken care of.
• 54:42
  That's awesome.
• 54:44
  yeah, the workouts are great.
• 54:45
  People, the athletes are awesome.
• 54:47
  Um,
• 54:47
  it was nice to compete with the
• 54:49
  individuals and just see where I'm at
• 54:51
  because I had just competed with the
• 54:52
  masters.
• 54:53
  And then, so sometimes it was like, okay,
• 54:56
  you need to step it up because this
• 54:58
  isn't no offense, but like,
• 54:59
  this isn't the masters you need.
• 55:01
  Like these girls are good.
• 55:02
  Like these, these girls are faster.
• 55:04
  These girls are stronger,
• 55:05
  like in every way.
• 55:07
  And a lot of times like,
• 55:07
  like just fitter.
• 55:09
  Um,
• 55:10
  Did you adjust your pace?
• 55:14
  Did you adjust your pace after doing an
• 55:16
  event or two when you realized they were
• 55:19
  faster?
• 55:21
  Like the first round of the first workout,
• 55:24
  I was the slowest on the field.
• 55:25
  And I was like, Oh crap, you're not,
• 55:29
  you're not going at a good pace right
• 55:31
  now.
• 55:31
  Like you need to,
• 55:32
  you need to step it up.
• 55:34
  Um,
• 55:34
  and then I slowly was tripping away at
• 55:36
  that work.
• 55:36
  It was like the Ryan overhead squat toast
• 55:38
  bar,
• 55:39
  but I was the last one of the
• 55:41
  first heat that like I was the first
• 55:43
  heat that went.
• 55:44
  Yep.
• 55:44
  Yep.
• 55:45
  So like I was probably the slowest and
• 55:48
  I had no business being the slowest and
• 55:50
  I
• 55:52
  Right away after the first round,
• 55:53
  I was like, okay,
• 55:54
  you can't be doing this.
• 55:55
  You did gain a lot.
• 55:57
  You need to step up your game a
• 55:59
  little bit.
• 56:02
  Overall, I was happy.
• 56:04
  There wasn't as many people as I expected.
• 56:07
  I know that it was a holiday weekend
• 56:10
  there.
• 56:11
  Um, so that doesn't help them.
• 56:13
  It was in an area that's really hard
• 56:15
  to get to.
• 56:16
  Like it was really annoying how far away
• 56:18
  from the airport it was.
• 56:19
  It was like almost an hour and a
• 56:21
  bit from the airport.
• 56:23
  So it's just not easy for people to
• 56:24
  get there.
• 56:26
  Um,
• 56:27
  then it was changed locations in the last
• 56:29
  couple months i don't know how much they
• 56:31
  could have done because i expected more
• 56:34
  from like the european crowd i guess um
• 56:37
  but yeah no overall great experience
• 56:40
  looking forward to trying to qualify again
• 56:43
  for the second tour which is in indiana
• 56:46
  so i've already signed up for that um
• 56:49
  But yeah, no, over the weekend,
• 56:50
  I was pretty happy with most of the
• 56:52
  workouts.
• 56:54
  I felt like I should have done much,
• 56:57
  much.
• 56:57
  I was really disappointed with the
• 56:59
  dumbbell thruster workout.
• 57:01
  On paper,
• 57:02
  I thought that should have been an easy
• 57:03
  top twenty for me.
• 57:04
  And I just didn't have any legs under
• 57:06
  me.
• 57:06
  I don't know.
• 57:07
  I had no second gear.
• 57:09
  I was hunched over.
• 57:11
  Um,
• 57:12
  I don't feel like I was jet lagged
• 57:13
  like at all.
• 57:14
  Like,
• 57:14
  I just don't know why I felt just,
• 57:16
  just blah and that workout.
• 57:18
  Cause I'm like, okay,
• 57:19
  I'm great at burpee box jump overs row.
• 57:21
  I'm fine.
• 57:21
  I'm bad at skiing,
• 57:23
  but everything else was good for me.
• 57:24
  And I was like a thirty six place
• 57:26
  and I was like, oh, this sucks.
• 57:28
  But also the field is very good.
• 57:30
  Um,
• 57:30
  that one i wasn't as happy with my
• 57:33
  performance with and probably this ring
• 57:36
  muscle up one i went on broken on
• 57:38
  the whole thing uh which not a lot
• 57:40
  of people did i just think i walked
• 57:43
  too slow with the sandbag i jogged too
• 57:45
  slow to the sandbag so those transitions
• 57:48
  just added up because i felt like that
• 57:49
  could have been a higher finish for me
• 57:51
  but i ended on a high note with
• 57:52
  the you did right
• 57:55
  So I have to ask you about that.
• 57:57
  So the highlight of the weekend for me
• 57:59
  is you hit yourself in the nose with
• 58:01
  your barbell.
• 58:03
  There is blood coming down apparently.
• 58:07
  And you finish the workout unbroken
• 58:11
  regardless.
• 58:14
  I think you said in your post-event
• 58:16
  interview that that happened on the second
• 58:19
  round of
• 58:21
  So you had another full round to complete.
• 58:24
  It happened on the very first rep of
• 58:26
  the second round.
• 58:27
  So I went from my power,
• 58:29
  my muscle snatches.
• 58:30
  And I think that's what cost me a
• 58:32
  few seconds.
• 58:34
  As I was going to do muscle snatches.
• 58:37
  And then I,
• 58:38
  as soon as I finished my overhead lunge
• 58:39
  on the way down,
• 58:40
  I like nailed my nose.
• 58:42
  And then I'm just kind of like recovering
• 58:44
  and just trying to open my eyes and
• 58:45
  just because you kind of get a little
• 58:48
  bit teary eyes a little bit.
• 58:50
  And I went to like a power snatch
• 58:52
  too early in the workout and then
• 58:56
  continued power snatching the whole way
• 58:58
  from there.
• 58:59
  But I think if I continued muscle snatches
• 59:01
  a little bit longer,
• 59:04
  like we were separated by like five
• 59:05
  seconds,
• 59:06
  I think from like where I finished in
• 59:09
  like the first place.
• 59:10
  I like Randy, like before the workout,
• 59:13
  we did Randy with the online service games
• 59:16
  two years ago and I went unbroken there.
• 59:20
  And I rewatched my video of that workout,
• 59:24
  maybe half hour before I went,
• 59:27
  just to remind myself that I can go
• 59:28
  unbroken and that yes,
• 59:31
  it's short bars and it feels heavier,
• 59:33
  but I was like,
• 59:34
  but you can do it unbroken.
• 59:36
  And you can still do it on broken.
• 59:37
  So I just kept telling myself that I'm
• 59:38
  like, you can do it on broken.
• 59:40
  It's going to be hard going broken.
• 59:42
  So like just having done that workout for
• 59:45
  the service cup helped me beforehand to
• 59:48
  know that I could do it on broken
• 59:49
  versus I think a lot of people maybe
• 59:51
  haven't done that workout in years and
• 59:53
  then just kind of broke and then went
• 59:55
  back to it.
• 59:56
  Like I knew I wasn't going to break.
• 59:59
  And I also,
• 1:00:00
  and I also went and watched my twenty
• 1:00:02
  fifteen, Randy.
• 1:00:04
  So when you.
• 1:00:06
  Did you watch back the WFP broadcast?
• 1:00:10
  Because the announcers...
• 1:00:12
  My sister filmed a lot of it,
• 1:00:13
  so I saw it just from my story.
• 1:00:15
  Yeah,
• 1:00:15
  but the announcers talked about your nose
• 1:00:17
  bleeding, and they were like,
• 1:00:19
  she's a hockey player.
• 1:00:20
  This is nothing for her.
• 1:00:23
  And so it was a really cool highlight
• 1:00:26
  for you in that moment on the broadcast.
• 1:00:30
  If you haven't watched it,
• 1:00:30
  it really came across cool.
• 1:00:34
  There's a lot of talk about the deadlift.
• 1:00:36
  So many people PR there.
• 1:00:38
  Do you have an explanation for the PRs?
• 1:00:42
  No,
• 1:00:42
  I think that's a tie for my PR.
• 1:00:44
  I'm pretty sure.
• 1:00:49
  No,
• 1:00:50
  I know I've pulled up four or five,
• 1:00:52
  maybe like ten years ago.
• 1:00:54
  I literally never I barely even go over
• 1:00:56
  eighty five percent in training.
• 1:00:58
  on any lifts at all times in the
• 1:01:00
  year.
• 1:01:02
  So like I don't,
• 1:01:03
  and I certainly don't deadlift very often
• 1:01:05
  just because I don't need to.
• 1:01:07
  but i don't know but it was crazy
• 1:01:10
  like i was in the stands because i'm
• 1:01:13
  in one of the first heats and i'm
• 1:01:14
  watching all of the deadlifts go and i'm
• 1:01:16
  thinking i crushed the workout i'm like
• 1:01:19
  okay i hit four or five i still
• 1:01:21
  got it i still got my strength and
• 1:01:23
  then i'm like starting to look and i'm
• 1:01:24
  like oh my gosh like you got one
• 1:01:26
  one girl that's got four fifty one girl
• 1:01:29
  at four forty five two at four thirty
• 1:01:31
  five one at four twenty and i'm like
• 1:01:33
  oh my gosh i don't even have a
• 1:01:35
  top ten i don't think
• 1:01:37
  And I'm like, in the past, like,
• 1:01:39
  that would have been an easy top five,
• 1:01:42
  top six.
• 1:01:43
  I think I finished, like, eleventh, and,
• 1:01:45
  like,
• 1:01:45
  a few of us tied at four or
• 1:01:46
  five.
• 1:01:47
  And the tiebreaker was,
• 1:01:47
  what was your previous lift?
• 1:01:50
  So I think, like,
• 1:01:50
  I don't know how many, but, like,
• 1:01:54
  at least a dozen hit over four hundred.
• 1:01:58
  which was just crazy and just a lot
• 1:02:01
  of them hitch their deadlifts i don't know
• 1:02:04
  how to do that technique but it was
• 1:02:07
  nuts to see the the lifts um the
• 1:02:10
  krieger girls were awesome at deadlifting
• 1:02:13
  like their their whole camp their whole
• 1:02:17
  group of athlete was are so good they're
• 1:02:21
  coming
• 1:02:22
  Sherry wants to know, the Krieger girls,
• 1:02:24
  are they just one and the same in
• 1:02:26
  the back?
• 1:02:27
  They just rotate outfits and go out and...
• 1:02:32
  I like them.
• 1:02:33
  They're super nice.
• 1:02:34
  They have a really good group of girls.
• 1:02:38
  They seem to be very close and a
• 1:02:40
  lot of them have different strengths and
• 1:02:42
  weaknesses.
• 1:02:42
  And I always thought about them as engine
• 1:02:47
  and gymnastics.
• 1:02:49
  So when I saw them pull those deadlifts
• 1:02:51
  and like almost every one of them was
• 1:02:53
  incredible on the deadlift, I was like,
• 1:02:55
  They're doing good work over there.
• 1:02:57
  They're crushing it.
• 1:03:00
  Dana, who's a Krieger athlete,
• 1:03:01
  also won the deadlift.
• 1:03:04
  I was staying with her all weekend.
• 1:03:05
  Not a shock.
• 1:03:08
  I knew she was going to win the
• 1:03:09
  deadlift.
• 1:03:09
  We had talked about numbers and stuff
• 1:03:12
  prior.
• 1:03:14
  I didn't think anyone could touch her on
• 1:03:15
  the deadlift.
• 1:03:16
  Yeah.
• 1:03:19
  um amy kringle i did not expect that
• 1:03:24
  from amy kringle at all i did not
• 1:03:28
  know she had that and it looked easy
• 1:03:32
  she was great all weekend dominant
• 1:03:35
  toe-to-toe with laura that was like no
• 1:03:38
  holes no holes all weekend that was a
• 1:03:41
  phenomenal watch
• 1:03:44
  I don't know,
• 1:03:44
  but I think it looked like Laura kind
• 1:03:46
  of tweaked her back on the deadlift.
• 1:03:48
  I saw her look at her back and
• 1:03:50
  then look at someone.
• 1:03:52
  And I think she pulled back on the
• 1:03:54
  Randy workout.
• 1:03:57
  She was making double contact on the way
• 1:03:59
  up and on the way down of the
• 1:04:01
  very first rep.
• 1:04:02
  And you can't do that on the Randy
• 1:04:03
  workout.
• 1:04:04
  And she's so much stronger that she
• 1:04:05
  wouldn't need to do that.
• 1:04:06
  I think she was...
• 1:04:09
  um conserving her back for the rest of
• 1:04:12
  the season i that's just my observation
• 1:04:16
  and i think that she pulled back because
• 1:04:17
  i think she would have been much closer
• 1:04:18
  on that last one um so i think
• 1:04:20
  something happened in the deadlift that
• 1:04:24
  was the first time the norwegians got to
• 1:04:25
  meet dana she's a legend to them that's
• 1:04:28
  cool
• 1:04:29
  Well, they have like she is so strong.
• 1:04:32
  So I'm sure like when they see when
• 1:04:34
  they share scores and they see her
• 1:04:35
  numbers,
• 1:04:36
  it's probably like crazy because Dana is
• 1:04:39
  an Olympic lifter and a power lifter.
• 1:04:41
  So you give her any lift and she's
• 1:04:43
  winning.
• 1:04:44
  Yeah.
• 1:04:45
  And I have a feeling that we're going
• 1:04:46
  to be seeing bench press and back squats
• 1:04:48
  this year with the power lift.
• 1:04:49
  So I'm assuming she'll just clean house.
• 1:04:51
  Good for her.
• 1:04:59
  Unpopular opinion,
• 1:05:00
  but I think Amy is a better champ
• 1:05:02
  than Laura.
• 1:05:03
  Well, one, it's not champ.
• 1:05:05
  And you have to remember that watching the
• 1:05:07
  WFP.
• 1:05:08
  This is a season-long tour.
• 1:05:11
  This is only the first third of the
• 1:05:12
  season.
• 1:05:14
  Have you seen the documentary of Laura
• 1:05:16
  done by,
• 1:05:16
  I think it was done by Red Bull
• 1:05:18
  or Rogue?
• 1:05:21
  Very, very good.
• 1:05:23
  I've heard it.
• 1:05:26
  I've heard it's great.
• 1:05:27
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:05:29
  um so anyway there's there was some there
• 1:05:34
  was some questions in there scott about
• 1:05:36
  whether you and i would be going to
• 1:05:37
  tour stop too because it's near us it's
• 1:05:39
  not in michigan i saw dave's post that
• 1:05:41
  is not in michigan it's at indiana
• 1:05:43
  basically can i pull this comment on my
• 1:05:46
  plan is to go to tour stop too
• 1:05:49
  yeah i would like to as well pc
• 1:05:51
  says you're going to love the tour stop
• 1:05:53
  tour events and i know there's a field
• 1:05:56
  last year that they ran outside on it
• 1:05:59
  was turf i had a request to do
• 1:06:02
  a four-year dash please thank you and that
• 1:06:05
  is my request maybe they've been listening
• 1:06:07
  yeah let's so i put in for media
• 1:06:11
  credentials for tour stop two sweet i've
• 1:06:13
  not heard back okay
• 1:06:18
  Whoops, sorry.
• 1:06:28
  No, I was going to pull up.
• 1:06:29
  Does that mean no jump ropes?
• 1:06:31
  Also could be a reason why the second
• 1:06:33
  one could be good for me.
• 1:06:35
  They got their jump rope in.
• 1:06:37
  Apparently,
• 1:06:38
  PC just approved my credentials.
• 1:06:40
  Okay.
• 1:06:41
  Amazing.
• 1:06:43
  I'm going to be there cheering on.
• 1:06:46
  How far is that from you, Jamie?
• 1:06:49
  I don't.
• 1:06:50
  How far is Indianapolis from us?
• 1:06:52
  Can't be far.
• 1:06:54
  Yeah.
• 1:06:58
  Three hours is my guess.
• 1:07:07
  Two and a half or three.
• 1:07:09
  Jamie, apply.
• 1:07:10
  Oh, I need to apply separate?
• 1:07:12
  Yeah.
• 1:07:15
  I have the link somewhere.
• 1:07:16
  I'll send it to you.
• 1:07:18
  Oh, Nicole says it's four showers.
• 1:07:19
  I don't know that it's that far.
• 1:07:22
  It's two and a half for me.
• 1:07:25
  I think it's on the other side of
• 1:07:26
  Indianapolis.
• 1:07:28
  So maybe two, three.
• 1:07:29
  Yeah, it's like what?
• 1:07:30
  What?
• 1:07:31
  Grand Park or winter?
• 1:07:32
  I don't even know some.
• 1:07:33
  Would you try to do the workouts qualify?
• 1:07:36
  No, they're early July.
• 1:07:40
  Oh, God.
• 1:07:41
  I want some new people in the field.
• 1:07:44
  It helps for the points.
• 1:07:46
  CrossFat wants you to not trust Jim with
• 1:07:49
  the mileage.
• 1:07:53
  Okay.
• 1:07:53
  We ain't trusting Jim with any more
• 1:07:55
  numbers after this weekend.
• 1:07:58
  Just so you know, CrossFat,
• 1:08:00
  Jamie's husband is not Jim.
• 1:08:01
  No.
• 1:08:03
  Jamie's husband is Aaron.
• 1:08:05
  We're good with Aaron on the numbers,
• 1:08:07
  not Jim.
• 1:08:09
  My dad is Jim, but not that Jim.
• 1:08:11
  Right.
• 1:08:18
  I mean, hey,
• 1:08:19
  if they're like last year's Indiana
• 1:08:23
  qualifier workouts, maybe,
• 1:08:25
  because those were good for me.
• 1:08:27
  I would have made it if I would
• 1:08:28
  have weighed the weights.
• 1:08:30
  Get her going, Carolyn.
• 1:08:31
  Come on, Jamie.
• 1:08:34
  Do it, Jamie.
• 1:08:35
  I need to qualify first.
• 1:08:36
  So it's what, thirty...
• 1:08:42
  She says no,
• 1:08:43
  but we know that means yes.
• 1:08:46
  We'll see what the workouts are.
• 1:08:47
  I didn't like the workouts for this first
• 1:08:50
  stop.
• 1:08:51
  Well, look at the bright side.
• 1:08:53
  You're going to qualify for the games this
• 1:08:55
  weekend.
• 1:08:56
  Then you have nothing to do until the
• 1:08:58
  games.
• 1:08:58
  And then WFP two isn't until after the
• 1:09:00
  games.
• 1:09:01
  That's true.
• 1:09:02
  And I like that I don't have school
• 1:09:04
  yet.
• 1:09:05
  I'm actually off at that point in August
• 1:09:07
  because normally I'm back end of August,
• 1:09:09
  but we're starting school late this year,
• 1:09:11
  like September eighth.
• 1:09:13
  So it's perfect time of the year for
• 1:09:16
  me.
• 1:09:18
  This is the first time you've been back
• 1:09:20
  since there's a new CEO at CrossFit.
• 1:09:22
  Any thoughts you want to share?
• 1:09:26
  Well, I don't really know him very well.
• 1:09:30
  I know that he has history with CrossFit.
• 1:09:32
  I don't know how much he's able to
• 1:09:34
  do even as CO as you've talked about
• 1:09:36
  before with private equity stuff.
• 1:09:41
  I don't really know how much that works.
• 1:09:44
  But just to have someone there just seems
• 1:09:48
  like better than nothing.
• 1:09:51
  Yeah.
• 1:09:52
  It doesn't look like we don't have anyone
• 1:09:53
  at the top, right?
• 1:09:55
  So I don't know.
• 1:09:55
  I guess we'll see to be determined.
• 1:09:59
  Like I said,
• 1:09:59
  I don't know how much he can do,
• 1:10:02
  what he's looking to do in terms of
• 1:10:04
  his goals.
• 1:10:07
  I'm open and ready to see the action.
• 1:10:12
  Yeah,
• 1:10:13
  I think I want to see the action,
• 1:10:15
  not the words.
• 1:10:17
  Same.
• 1:10:17
  Yeah.
• 1:10:18
  I also want to see how Brookshire plays
• 1:10:22
  this out.
• 1:10:23
  But it's a good sign to me that
• 1:10:25
  they went with someone not from
• 1:10:30
  necessarily the big corporate CEO world.
• 1:10:35
  And maybe that's a good sign.
• 1:10:39
  Yeah, we need less...
• 1:10:44
  I think we need less C-suite people
• 1:10:46
  in-house taking big paychecks.
• 1:10:47
  I think they need to get rid of
• 1:10:49
  some of that middle management here.
• 1:10:50
  We'll see if he actually lives up to
• 1:10:54
  what Savannah was saying and fires some
• 1:10:57
  people.
• 1:10:57
  I think that's what they need to do.
• 1:11:06
  Yes, plan to get old affiliates back.
• 1:11:09
  I agree.
• 1:11:13
  so my thing is i could say this
• 1:11:15
  is what i wanted i don't know enough
• 1:11:17
  about crossfit hq to make any educated
• 1:11:20
  remark i'd only be echoing somebody else's
• 1:11:23
  opinion because i haven't seen it with my
• 1:11:25
  own eyes so i just have to trust
• 1:11:29
  that he's going to do something great um
• 1:11:34
  hopefully lower the fees from forty five
• 1:11:36
  hundred i would love to affiliate and
• 1:11:38
  that's just
• 1:11:43
  Wait, PC says,
• 1:11:44
  I blame Bruce for getting rid of the
• 1:11:46
  game's elevated media access.
• 1:11:49
  I'm okay with it.
• 1:11:51
  I think there were way too many people
• 1:11:53
  that had backstage access last year,
• 1:11:56
  and it was, in my opinion,
• 1:11:59
  a shit show.
• 1:12:02
  I think that the athletes had too many
• 1:12:04
  people in their faces all the time.
• 1:12:08
  I would forego my enhanced access.
• 1:12:11
  Because it was really hard to get anything
• 1:12:13
  accomplished and be courteous with the
• 1:12:18
  athletes.
• 1:12:19
  The only person that I had an agreement
• 1:12:21
  with prior to the games was Hattie.
• 1:12:24
  It was cool to be able to be
• 1:12:25
  with her during all that stuff.
• 1:12:29
  She knew I was going to be there.
• 1:12:30
  She knew I was going to document all
• 1:12:32
  that stuff.
• 1:12:34
  But it was way,
• 1:12:35
  way too hard to approach athletes.
• 1:12:37
  I tried to catch them in cool down
• 1:12:39
  instead of warm up.
• 1:12:42
  But it just was hard.
• 1:12:44
  And so I'm okay with cutting it.
• 1:12:48
  It should be limited.
• 1:12:50
  These athletes shouldn't have six hundred
• 1:12:52
  cameras in their face.
• 1:12:54
  My opinion.
• 1:12:55
  Because that warm up area last year was
• 1:12:57
  not big.
• 1:13:00
  Just my two cents.
• 1:13:05
  So what's going on French Throwdown this
• 1:13:06
  weekend?
• 1:13:07
  Right?
• 1:13:08
  This weekend?
• 1:13:09
  Can I just address this question?
• 1:13:12
  Yeah.
• 1:13:13
  I feel like there should be just like
• 1:13:15
  a tier of like,
• 1:13:17
  whether it's garage gyms or whatnot in
• 1:13:19
  terms of affiliation.
• 1:13:20
  Like if you just want to fly the
• 1:13:22
  flag, no matter,
• 1:13:23
  even like for your affiliate and you don't
• 1:13:25
  want to use any of the cap programming,
• 1:13:27
  the toolkit, whatever,
• 1:13:28
  you just want to have the CrossFit name.
• 1:13:31
  It's a certain fee.
• 1:13:32
  You want to have these features a little
• 1:13:34
  bit more expensive.
• 1:13:35
  You want to have the whole, whole thing.
• 1:13:38
  It's like,
• 1:13:39
  Yeah,
• 1:13:40
  like could they not do something like
• 1:13:41
  that?
• 1:13:45
  Like a tiered system?
• 1:13:47
  If they did a garage affiliation,
• 1:13:49
  I would affiliate my garage with
• 1:13:50
  Clydesdale.
• 1:13:54
  I'd affiliate my living room.
• 1:13:56
  I would probably affiliate my garage as
• 1:13:57
  well.
• 1:13:59
  But it's been the topic of discussion in
• 1:14:02
  Dave's Week in Review.
• 1:14:03
  I think every week for about six months.
• 1:14:11
  I think they're working out details of
• 1:14:13
  something.
• 1:14:14
  And hopefully it has more forethought than
• 1:14:18
  other things that have been launched.
• 1:14:23
  How much would you pay for a garage
• 1:14:25
  gym?
• 1:14:26
  Well,
• 1:14:26
  I technically have my school affiliate.
• 1:14:28
  Okay.
• 1:14:30
  So I don't know that I would,
• 1:14:31
  I don't even work out in my living
• 1:14:32
  room, but I have my equipment here.
• 1:14:33
  And I think it's a tiered thing.
• 1:14:37
  Like if I do it,
• 1:14:38
  I'm not training anybody out of my gym.
• 1:14:41
  Yeah.
• 1:14:42
  So I just do it for the name
• 1:14:45
  and the support of CrossFit HQ,
• 1:14:48
  like five hundred seven fifty somewhere in
• 1:14:51
  that range.
• 1:14:52
  Yeah.
• 1:14:55
  Yeah.
• 1:14:57
  With that,
• 1:14:57
  you just get to use the name CrossFit
• 1:15:01
  for your affiliate.
• 1:15:04
  You get to do the open there.
• 1:15:05
  Then for a little bit more,
• 1:15:09
  you get cat programming or whatever you
• 1:15:12
  want that they offer.
• 1:15:18
  But HQ ain't that common sense smart.
• 1:15:20
  Seems to be the trend.
• 1:15:22
  We have a new CEO.
• 1:15:24
  You can't
• 1:15:25
  You can't keep carrying over the past over
• 1:15:28
  and over.
• 1:15:29
  When new people come in,
• 1:15:30
  we have to give them the opportunity to
• 1:15:32
  change.
• 1:15:41
  Kind of don't want my garage on an
• 1:15:42
  internet map.
• 1:15:43
  They would not put it.
• 1:15:44
  Yeah,
• 1:15:45
  I don't think that those would go on.
• 1:15:47
  I don't know that my school is on
• 1:15:49
  the affiliate map because you can't charge
• 1:15:51
  people and I don't think that they can
• 1:15:53
  drop in.
• 1:15:54
  I think that there would be a way
• 1:15:56
  that if it's just a garage gym that
• 1:15:58
  it's not showing up as one that people
• 1:16:01
  drop in.
• 1:16:02
  Yeah.
• 1:16:06
  Yeah.
• 1:16:14
  I'd affiliate but still pay for my
• 1:16:16
  CrossFit linchpin program.
• 1:16:18
  Yeah, I think that's fine.
• 1:16:24
  What's the perk?
• 1:16:25
  The perk for me is from just a
• 1:16:27
  media and my business to be able to
• 1:16:29
  have a garage gym called Clydesdale,
• 1:16:33
  I think is cool.
• 1:16:34
  And maybe it doesn't amount to anything
• 1:16:36
  for me other than I feel cool.
• 1:16:40
  That's amazing.
• 1:16:45
  Okay, well,
• 1:16:45
  my garage is twelve thousand square feet.
• 1:16:49
  Flex industrial space.
• 1:16:51
  My garage is three thousand square feet as
• 1:16:53
  well.
• 1:16:53
  Yes.
• 1:16:58
  CrossFit's kind of right.
• 1:16:59
  It's like tithing.
• 1:17:01
  Like CrossFit saved my life.
• 1:17:03
  I pay them back with a garage affiliate
• 1:17:06
  fee.
• 1:17:06
  All right.
• 1:17:10
  So at French.
• 1:17:14
  Pretty stacked women's field.
• 1:17:16
  Kind of stacked men's field.
• 1:17:21
  Any thoughts on...
• 1:17:23
  Who's the top women there?
• 1:17:25
  I'm pulling that up.
• 1:17:29
  Okay.
• 1:17:30
  Oh, Amy's there.
• 1:17:33
  Yeah.
• 1:17:33
  Yeah.
• 1:17:33
  Claudia Gluck.
• 1:17:35
  Almost qualified out of Mayhem.
• 1:17:37
  Yeah.
• 1:17:38
  Fuliano.
• 1:17:40
  Jennifer Muir.
• 1:17:42
  Now, Moistness was pulled out of WFP,
• 1:17:48
  so I don't know if she's dealing with
• 1:17:49
  an injury.
• 1:17:50
  Eileen Wurtz or whatever that is,
• 1:17:54
  she also has an injury, so she's out.
• 1:17:57
  But you still have McGonigal.
• 1:17:59
  Yeah, Caratalla.
• 1:18:01
  Garness, Miravon Roar.
• 1:18:03
  That's a strong field.
• 1:18:05
  Rebecca Vitteson.
• 1:18:05
  Reese Littlewood.
• 1:18:07
  Geez.
• 1:18:09
  So Sierra.
• 1:18:10
  Van Thurman-Mo is good too.
• 1:18:11
  Yep.
• 1:18:12
  You have Var Thurman-Mo.
• 1:18:14
  It's really, really stacked.
• 1:18:17
  Yeah, that's a good field.
• 1:18:18
  Yes, Mayha already qualified for that.
• 1:18:20
  Yes, Mayha.
• 1:18:20
  Leah Storen.
• 1:18:24
  Yeah, that's a good field.
• 1:18:25
  So where is this being broadcast?
• 1:18:28
  Please tell me.
• 1:18:30
  YouTube, I believe.
• 1:18:31
  Okay, thank goodness.
• 1:18:32
  French normally puts it on YouTube.
• 1:18:34
  Okay.
• 1:18:35
  This one's going to be exciting to watch.
• 1:18:37
  Very.
• 1:18:38
  That's a very good field.
• 1:18:39
  Yeah.
• 1:18:40
  And they get three spots, right?
• 1:18:44
  Three?
• 1:18:44
  Yep.
• 1:18:46
  So just off the cuff,
• 1:18:49
  my picks for this week in the women,
• 1:18:51
  three spots, right?
• 1:18:52
  Yep.
• 1:18:53
  Amy Kringle.
• 1:18:54
  Yep.
• 1:18:57
  Elisa Fuliano.
• 1:19:01
  And Reese Littlewood.
• 1:19:03
  Garness.
• 1:19:04
  Garness is in there for sure.
• 1:19:07
  Is the programming all out for this,
• 1:19:09
  isn't it?
• 1:19:11
  We can look at that too.
• 1:19:13
  Yeah, I would need to know.
• 1:19:14
  Miriam.
• 1:19:20
  Miriam.
• 1:19:21
  Yeah.
• 1:19:23
  Are there ring muscle ups?
• 1:19:24
  I'm going to go... I forgot about Miriam.
• 1:19:25
  Holy cow.
• 1:19:26
  No, they don't have them.
• 1:19:27
  I'm going to go Amy Kringle,
• 1:19:29
  Matilda Garnes, and Miriam.
• 1:19:37
  I think there's going to... Yeah,
• 1:19:38
  that's a tough...
• 1:19:39
  I think Claudia could be close.
• 1:19:42
  Actually, I want to change one of mine.
• 1:19:43
  I think Miriam is going to make it.
• 1:19:47
  If there's no ring muscle ups,
• 1:19:48
  I think she's in.
• 1:19:49
  There is no ring muscle ups.
• 1:19:53
  There you go.
• 1:19:54
  Insane.
• 1:19:56
  Manon's not making it.
• 1:19:57
  No.
• 1:20:00
  Washed.
• 1:20:02
  And then the men is Catullus,
• 1:20:11
  Brian Guillaume, Callum Clemens,
• 1:20:13
  Colin Bosshard, Enrico Zanoni,
• 1:20:18
  Fabian Benito Celis,
• 1:20:22
  George Scaravis, Harry Lightfoot,
• 1:20:25
  Jason Hopper, Moritz Fiebig,
• 1:20:33
  Toby Buckland.
• 1:20:34
  Mika.
• 1:20:37
  Victor Langdahl.
• 1:20:39
  I think Harry, Jason, Moritz.
• 1:20:46
  Unless there's injuries that I don't know
• 1:20:47
  about.
• 1:20:55
  What do you think?
• 1:20:55
  Jason, Harry.
• 1:21:01
  I don't know enough about Kalem Clements.
• 1:21:05
  Yeah.
• 1:21:09
  How's Helsinghoff been looking?
• 1:21:10
  I don't know.
• 1:21:17
  Oh, Sven Gienz.
• 1:21:17
  This might be his shot, guys.
• 1:21:19
  This might be his shot.
• 1:21:20
  Toby Buckland.
• 1:21:21
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:21:25
  It's too bad that the semifinals,
• 1:21:28
  like this weekend, that there was none.
• 1:21:30
  Some of ours have three at the same
• 1:21:32
  time.
• 1:21:33
  It's just too bad that it doesn't line
• 1:21:34
  up,
• 1:21:35
  that some of these big ones get spread
• 1:21:37
  out.
• 1:21:37
  This one's only that one, right,
• 1:21:39
  that weekend?
• 1:21:40
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:21:41
  There could have been one of the major
• 1:21:42
  ones this weekend.
• 1:21:44
  And then the following weekend,
• 1:21:46
  there's what, Torian?
• 1:21:49
  Yep.
• 1:21:49
  Yep.
• 1:21:50
  Does Jason get booed?
• 1:21:52
  No, I don't think he does.
• 1:21:53
  I don't think he does.
• 1:21:54
  I actually think people will be excited.
• 1:21:57
  That's tough to say.
• 1:21:58
  I can see people's frustration,
• 1:22:01
  but I also think fans will like to
• 1:22:05
  see him there.
• 1:22:08
  Yeah.
• 1:22:11
  We were talking to Leto on the lunch
• 1:22:14
  show.
• 1:22:15
  She's so excited to get to watch Jason
• 1:22:17
  live.
• 1:22:19
  Because they don't get that opportunity
• 1:22:20
  very often, right?
• 1:22:22
  Is she competing Masters there?
• 1:22:23
  She is.
• 1:22:24
  Okay.
• 1:22:26
  So if she gets her spot online,
• 1:22:29
  she's competing.
• 1:22:29
  It's the one that comes first, right?
• 1:22:32
  So her online ticket would count,
• 1:22:34
  and then she would be competing there but
• 1:22:36
  not counting as a spot.
• 1:22:41
  Correct.
• 1:22:42
  You are correct.
• 1:22:43
  But she won't know the result of the
• 1:22:45
  online until after the French match.
• 1:22:51
  Oh,
• 1:22:51
  so that's interesting because maybe the
• 1:22:53
  French one gets confirmed first and then
• 1:22:57
  she becomes,
• 1:22:58
  that one is her spot and then doesn't
• 1:23:00
  count for the online.
• 1:23:03
  It's what everyone gets confirmed first.
• 1:23:05
  Yeah.
• 1:23:08
  So because this week and then you is
• 1:23:10
  next week,
• 1:23:12
  she's going to know from French before she
• 1:23:14
  knows from the online.
• 1:23:15
  I feel like they'd have to take it
• 1:23:17
  from French.
• 1:23:18
  I think they'll take it from French.
• 1:23:19
  Yeah.
• 1:23:22
  I think that's fine.
• 1:23:23
  Yeah, that's fine.
• 1:23:26
  You can't get the top three people in
• 1:23:28
  person.
• 1:23:28
  That's fine.
• 1:23:32
  And then she has the online as her
• 1:23:34
  backup if needed.
• 1:23:35
  That's dumb.
• 1:23:37
  CrossFat,
• 1:23:38
  what's dumb is putting the in-affiliate
• 1:23:41
  semifinal in the middle of the season.
• 1:23:45
  There's no need for it to be here.
• 1:23:47
  put it at the end with the elites
• 1:23:49
  agreed i on freaking mother's day weekend
• 1:23:53
  yeah on mother's day weekend trying to get
• 1:23:57
  people to show up for you on a
• 1:23:58
  mother's day weekend two people and for
• 1:24:04
  those of you dogging my toby buckland pick
• 1:24:07
  he's a clydesdale i gotta go with the
• 1:24:09
  clydesdale
• 1:24:12
  I don't think he's making it, Scott.
• 1:24:13
  But I do have to tell you,
• 1:24:14
  Mathilde looked awesome at WFP.
• 1:24:17
  She did.
• 1:24:17
  She looked unreal.
• 1:24:26
  Imagine having, like,
• 1:24:27
  the SEC tournament in the middle of a
• 1:24:29
  college basketball season.
• 1:24:31
  Then the rest of the conference schedule.
• 1:24:34
  That's pretty much it.
• 1:24:39
  So CrossFit needs CrossFat to just put
• 1:24:44
  analogies over the top of their thoughts
• 1:24:47
  before they make them public.
• 1:24:56
  The masters are going at French.
• 1:24:59
  They are doing it a different way than
• 1:25:00
  the US ones have done.
• 1:25:03
  Only ten masters are getting in from each
• 1:25:06
  age group.
• 1:25:08
  and three go to the games on the
• 1:25:09
  lower age groups.
• 1:25:11
  Wow.
• 1:25:12
  I think that should be two go.
• 1:25:14
  I like the ten.
• 1:25:15
  I think that's the smart way to do
• 1:25:16
  it.
• 1:25:17
  Ten.
• 1:25:18
  Get your top ten in the area there,
• 1:25:21
  but I think they should probably only get
• 1:25:22
  two spots.
• 1:25:22
  Yeah, I think for us,
• 1:25:25
  wasn't there a rule there needs to be
• 1:25:27
  at least three times the amount of spots?
• 1:25:29
  Nine would have been the minimum,
• 1:25:30
  which is crazy low for three spots.
• 1:25:34
  If you guaranteed me
• 1:25:37
  one through ten at the in-person semi take
• 1:25:40
  the three spots i'm cool with it throw
• 1:25:43
  down with the ten best i'm cool with
• 1:25:46
  it yeah but you know that's not gonna
• 1:25:48
  happen i know i'm just telling you for
• 1:25:51
  future thoughts yeah fair um
• 1:26:00
  So, thirty-five to forty-four, get three.
• 1:26:04
  Forty-five to fifty-four, get two.
• 1:26:07
  Fifty-five up, get one.
• 1:26:10
  Do you know, do they all have ten?
• 1:26:13
  Or do they drop ten?
• 1:26:14
  I believe so.
• 1:26:15
  Okay.
• 1:26:16
  Are they doing the thirty-fives?
• 1:26:18
  Are they doing the same workouts as the
• 1:26:19
  individuals?
• 1:26:20
  Or are they modified?
• 1:26:22
  I haven't seen.
• 1:26:28
  That's fine.
• 1:26:28
  Good luck to the legal.
• 1:26:30
  Yeah.
• 1:26:34
  CrossFit loves Mother's Day, Memorial Day,
• 1:26:36
  and Easter.
• 1:26:36
  Sure do.
• 1:26:38
  They really do.
• 1:26:40
  You know why?
• 1:26:41
  Because other entities don't schedule
• 1:26:45
  venues on the holiday weekends,
• 1:26:48
  so CrossFit gets them for cheap.
• 1:26:52
  Now,
• 1:26:52
  why they did an affiliate on a holiday,
• 1:26:55
  there's no venue associated with that,
• 1:26:58
  makes no sense to me.
• 1:27:01
  Looking forward to seeing if the crowd is
• 1:27:03
  big there.
• 1:27:08
  So far, Mayhem had a great turnout.
• 1:27:12
  Legends was not a good turnout.
• 1:27:15
  Magic City, meh.
• 1:27:18
  And Culpasur had a pretty good turnout
• 1:27:20
  from what I've seen.
• 1:27:22
  WFP, no.
• 1:27:25
  And then looking forward to seeing if the
• 1:27:27
  French throwdown finally gets...
• 1:27:30
  the regular crowd that we feel like
• 1:27:32
  normally gets in Europe.
• 1:27:34
  I know Torian's going to be like,
• 1:27:35
  that's always packed.
• 1:27:37
  I would bet French is packed.
• 1:27:41
  The couple of times we have been in
• 1:27:43
  at the French other than last year,
• 1:27:47
  which was right after the twenty four
• 1:27:49
  season.
• 1:27:51
  It has been packed.
• 1:27:53
  I would bet packed.
• 1:27:54
  Yeah, I would do.
• 1:27:58
  I hope so.
• 1:28:01
  Yes, Denise,
• 1:28:02
  I do know that if you don't have
• 1:28:03
  three athletes in the older divisions,
• 1:28:05
  they don't get a game spot.
• 1:28:07
  Correct.
• 1:28:08
  Factor of three per spot, yes.
• 1:28:11
  Every age division.
• 1:28:14
  Last thing for you tonight is a quick
• 1:28:16
  news bit.
• 1:28:17
  If you did not watch all of Dave
• 1:28:19
  Castro's athlete interviews,
• 1:28:22
  there is an interview with Lucy Campbell
• 1:28:25
  where –
• 1:28:27
  seems to basically confirm they are
• 1:28:29
  starting Thursday in a location that the
• 1:28:32
  public will not have access to.
• 1:28:37
  Yeah.
• 1:28:38
  So like when he was talking to Lucy,
• 1:28:40
  she asked him the question about the,
• 1:28:42
  what is it called?
• 1:28:43
  The outdoor events that he had mentioned,
• 1:28:45
  like the couple.
• 1:28:47
  And then he said to expect to use
• 1:28:49
  around the venue,
• 1:28:51
  but that their stuff that the, the,
• 1:28:57
  fans can see and then there's stuff that
• 1:28:58
  the fans may not be able to see
• 1:29:01
  and he goes we have publicly said that
• 1:29:03
  you know the friday to the sunday would
• 1:29:05
  be where the public could see so it
• 1:29:12
  pretty much to me confirmed that they're
• 1:29:15
  starting on thursday or wednesday who
• 1:29:20
  knows maybe it's on thursday but that the
• 1:29:24
  public probably won't be able to go
• 1:29:27
  Is it the ranch or Moffett Field?
• 1:29:33
  I feel like it's something with either a
• 1:29:35
  military base or something that people
• 1:29:37
  can't go and watch, or it's the ranch.
• 1:29:40
  Are they bringing masters to the ranch,
• 1:29:45
  too?
• 1:29:46
  Hell no.
• 1:29:47
  We can't even get into the SAP arena.
• 1:29:51
  True.
• 1:29:53
  We're a mile down the road.
• 1:29:57
  The population of Masters athletes would
• 1:29:59
  probably be bigger than what they are
• 1:30:01
  zoned for at the ranch.
• 1:30:03
  That has been a problem with using the
• 1:30:06
  ranch for other events.
• 1:30:10
  It is not zoned for a big event.
• 1:30:15
  We get two t-shirts for three-day
• 1:30:17
  competitions and...
• 1:30:22
  One tight, one short.
• 1:30:24
  One pair of shorts.
• 1:30:26
  And you have to wear them the whole
• 1:30:27
  weekend.
• 1:30:29
  Get in the ice bath, deal with it.
• 1:30:30
  Yeah,
• 1:30:31
  until the lettering's falling off because
• 1:30:33
  they've been washed so much.
• 1:30:35
  That's what we get.
• 1:30:41
  They're bringing the Masters to the
• 1:30:42
  Western-themed steakhouse called The Ranch
• 1:30:44
  for a blue plate special.
• 1:30:46
  One sock.
• 1:30:51
  Yeah, one sock.
• 1:30:55
  Pretty much.
• 1:31:00
  I'll have my car if anyone needs a
• 1:31:01
  ride.
• 1:31:01
  Yeah.
• 1:31:02
  Yeah.
• 1:31:09
  The one pair of shorts will either be
• 1:31:11
  gigantic or offensively small.
• 1:31:14
  Jamie will take the offensively small and
• 1:31:16
  Carolyn will take the gigantic.
• 1:31:19
  You won't be able to see much of
• 1:31:21
  it because it'll be behind Paywall Flow
• 1:31:23
  Elite.
• 1:31:24
  Yeah.
• 1:31:27
  Man, I hope they drop that.
• 1:31:33
  I don't think so.
• 1:31:35
  Why are you saying that?
• 1:31:38
  Well,
• 1:31:38
  I think it's good for the sport in
• 1:31:41
  general.
• 1:31:41
  I don't think we should be behind Paywall,
• 1:31:43
  but I don't like what's going on with
• 1:31:45
  that situation.
• 1:31:46
  know that i cannot confirm any of that
• 1:31:48
  stuff and it was pulled from the spin
• 1:31:52
  just so you know just because someone
• 1:31:56
  writes something doesn't mean it's true
• 1:31:58
  true no but if you go on flowly
• 1:32:00
  it it has the masters crossfit games there
• 1:32:03
  no no there is a story out there
• 1:32:06
  right now about something flow elite did
• 1:32:10
  years ago
• 1:32:12
  Oh, I haven't seen that.
• 1:32:13
  And there are threats of cancellation and
• 1:32:15
  all this stuff.
• 1:32:16
  I cannot confirm that story.
• 1:32:18
  Any way, anyhow,
• 1:32:19
  I have been researching for three days
• 1:32:23
  trying to find any validity to that story.
• 1:32:26
  And it was posted by The Spin on
• 1:32:29
  Friday morning.
• 1:32:31
  And it was pulled Friday afternoon from
• 1:32:34
  The Spin.
• 1:32:34
  Interesting.
• 1:32:38
  So don't always believe what you see just
• 1:32:42
  because you see it.
• 1:32:48
  So there it is.
• 1:32:50
  If you can find it,
• 1:32:51
  send it to me because I cannot find
• 1:32:53
  it.
• 1:32:56
  I don't really want to Google that on
• 1:32:57
  my phone.
• 1:33:00
  Well,
• 1:33:00
  the article itself is just reporting the
• 1:33:02
  news.
• 1:33:03
  Yeah, I know.
• 1:33:04
  The thing in question is that there was
• 1:33:07
  a link.
• 1:33:08
  Right.
• 1:33:09
  I think that's doubt.
• 1:33:10
  I would say that you're not going to
• 1:33:12
  find that.
• 1:33:13
  Plus, it happened fourteen years ago.
• 1:33:15
  You shouldn't be able to find it.
• 1:33:17
  I'm sure she...
• 1:33:18
  I'm sure McKayla Maroney was able to get
• 1:33:20
  some legal action and get it scrubbed from
• 1:33:22
  the internet.
• 1:33:25
  Savon found it on a show the other
• 1:33:26
  night.
• 1:33:28
  I'm not saying that someone didn't put
• 1:33:30
  something out there, but it is removed.
• 1:33:31
  Whatever is out there, I cannot find it.
• 1:33:34
  Well, good.
• 1:33:35
  It should be removed.
• 1:33:36
  There should be no...
• 1:33:41
  Ed wants to know,
• 1:33:42
  you're telling me the internet lied to us.
• 1:33:44
  I'm telling you I can't find it.
• 1:33:48
  I tried using ChatGPT.
• 1:33:50
  I tried using Google.
• 1:33:52
  I tried everything I could to find it.
• 1:33:59
  And I didn't want to talk about it
• 1:34:01
  unless I could find it.
• 1:34:03
  Yeah, fair.
• 1:34:06
  I'm not searching it, so.
• 1:34:09
  No, thanks.
• 1:34:10
  I just wanted to see if I could
• 1:34:11
  find the article and see if it had
• 1:34:12
  a hyperlink.
• 1:34:15
  And then what?
• 1:34:15
  Click on the link?
• 1:34:16
  No, thank you.
• 1:34:17
  No,
• 1:34:17
  I wasn't going to click on the link.
• 1:34:19
  It's going to be gone.
• 1:34:21
  That is not going to be findable.
• 1:34:27
  I have no idea what any of you
• 1:34:28
  guys are talking about,
• 1:34:29
  but it sounds really serious.
• 1:34:31
  It's really serious.
• 1:34:33
  And I don't want to look it up
• 1:34:34
  because it's telling me I shouldn't be
• 1:34:36
  looking it up from my home address.
• 1:34:38
  It's underage images.
• 1:34:42
  So it's the gymnast Michaela Maroney.
• 1:34:45
  Apparently Larry Nassar took pictures of
• 1:34:47
  her when she was underage.
• 1:34:51
  The convicted doctor took pictures of her
• 1:34:53
  when she was underage.
• 1:34:55
  Flow Gymnastics posted an article
• 1:34:59
  allegedly telling that story.
• 1:35:03
  It happened.
• 1:35:05
  And allegedly there was a link in the
• 1:35:08
  body of the article that went to the
• 1:35:12
  pictures,
• 1:35:13
  which I find highly hard to believe that
• 1:35:19
  anybody would let that pass through any
• 1:35:22
  kind of stuff.
• 1:35:26
  i know but but everybody is reacting to
• 1:35:30
  this story like it's true i just wanted
• 1:35:34
  to see if the article even exists i
• 1:35:41
  would guess it does not exist anymore well
• 1:35:46
  spin posted a picture of the article but
• 1:35:50
  again all of that has been pulled
• 1:35:54
  And I don't know why he pulled it.
• 1:35:56
  There was no retraction about it.
• 1:35:58
  Yeah, I know.
• 1:36:00
  Don't bring up Michigan State in relation,
• 1:36:02
  please.
• 1:36:06
  So I don't, again,
• 1:36:09
  I don't know why it was pulled.
• 1:36:11
  But that made me very suspect of its
• 1:36:14
  validity if SPIN is pulling it down.
• 1:36:19
  Cause spin doesn't usually pull down a
• 1:36:21
  story because a couple of people complain.
• 1:36:24
  Right.
• 1:36:30
  So, well, either way,
• 1:36:31
  not a fan of flow late.
• 1:36:32
  So I don't think it's good for our
• 1:36:34
  sport regardless of any.
• 1:36:36
  And you and I are going to disagree
• 1:36:37
  about that.
• 1:36:38
  Cause I do think a paywall with other
• 1:36:41
  sports on its app does make sense to
• 1:36:45
  try to grow it.
• 1:36:47
  And if we don't support the ecosystem some
• 1:36:51
  way, it's going to go away.
• 1:36:53
  They need to find a way to have
• 1:36:55
  like a weekend price,
• 1:36:56
  not a subscription price.
• 1:36:59
  That's what I don't like about the Flow
• 1:37:00
  Elite.
• 1:37:01
  I just don't even think Flow Elite's a
• 1:37:03
  good one.
• 1:37:04
  It's not.
• 1:37:04
  It needs to be a weekend price of,
• 1:37:06
  you know, I don't know, five ninety nine,
• 1:37:09
  nine ninety nine, something like that.
• 1:37:11
  It needs to be like Rogues broadcast.
• 1:37:13
  Yeah.
• 1:37:13
  Yeah.
• 1:37:15
  People want to be on YouTube.
• 1:37:18
  They want to be able to chat.
• 1:37:19
  And they can monetize on YouTube too.
• 1:37:21
  There you go.
• 1:37:23
  But just because people like it today
• 1:37:25
  doesn't mean it's what's best for the
• 1:37:27
  sport in the future.
• 1:37:28
  You need revenue from other sources if you
• 1:37:31
  want the sport to survive.
• 1:37:36
  That's what it is.
• 1:37:38
  If I want to watch any other sport,
• 1:37:39
  I have to pay for an app.
• 1:37:43
  Any other sport.
• 1:37:50
  It's just a fact.
• 1:37:53
  So.
• 1:37:55
  I just feel like the masters,
• 1:37:58
  like I think they would be more worth
• 1:38:00
  it.
• 1:38:01
  Not more worth it,
• 1:38:01
  but like people would pay more for the
• 1:38:04
  individuals to pay like.
• 1:38:08
  Thirty dollars to watch the same heat for
• 1:38:10
  the whole day is.
• 1:38:13
  Not that fun.
• 1:38:15
  So I believe that if you're going to
• 1:38:18
  jump into Flow Elite,
• 1:38:20
  the whole semifinal season should be on
• 1:38:23
  Flow Elite,
• 1:38:24
  and then it's worth the app price.
• 1:38:27
  I agree with that.
• 1:38:28
  And then it's all in the same place,
• 1:38:31
  and you can charge a good chunk for
• 1:38:34
  that.
• 1:38:35
  And people would pay.
• 1:38:36
  As event organizers or as CrossFitter or
• 1:38:39
  whatever.
• 1:38:40
  Yeah,
• 1:38:40
  because then you're actually getting a
• 1:38:42
  bunch of different things with it.
• 1:38:48
  Will the sport ever get big enough to
• 1:38:50
  need that?
• 1:38:51
  Well,
• 1:38:51
  the sport's just going to shrivel away if
• 1:38:53
  there's no money to support it.
• 1:38:56
  I've talked to event organizers in person.
• 1:39:00
  They are struggling.
• 1:39:01
  They're struggling to put these events on.
• 1:39:04
  If we have nobody,
• 1:39:05
  because CrossFit is gone completely
• 1:39:07
  hands-off,
• 1:39:08
  and if the event organizers back out,
• 1:39:11
  then where are you?
• 1:39:12
  I'm going to say it.
• 1:39:13
  I think a lot of these events have
• 1:39:16
  promised too much money to the athletes
• 1:39:18
  and then have just needed to raise the
• 1:39:19
  prices for everything.
• 1:39:21
  And they just don't have the budget for
• 1:39:22
  it.
• 1:39:23
  We promise like,
• 1:39:24
  because we're trying to make it
• 1:39:25
  professional, a lot of comms are like,
• 1:39:28
  well, I need to pay the athletes,
• 1:39:30
  five thousand, ten thousand.
• 1:39:32
  And then everything's just getting so
• 1:39:33
  expensive.
• 1:39:35
  And like, yeah,
• 1:39:35
  I like it as an athlete to make
• 1:39:36
  that money,
• 1:39:36
  but I don't think that the organizer,
• 1:39:39
  like the organizers just keep losing
• 1:39:40
  money.
• 1:39:44
  They don't have that much money coming in
• 1:39:46
  to be giving the athletes all the money.
• 1:39:51
  Everybody knows I talked to Wilson Pac.
• 1:39:55
  He is about as frugal as it comes
• 1:39:57
  when putting together events.
• 1:39:59
  He tries to save money wherever he can.
• 1:40:02
  It is a struggle.
• 1:40:04
  It's a struggle.
• 1:40:06
  And the last two seasons have not been
• 1:40:08
  great.
• 1:40:09
  If the prices were lower for people to
• 1:40:13
  buy tickets,
• 1:40:14
  if more people would be in there
• 1:40:17
  supporting the athletes,
• 1:40:18
  if the cost of registration for the
• 1:40:20
  athletes was lower.
• 1:40:22
  Yeah,
• 1:40:23
  it brings the price purse a little bit,
• 1:40:24
  but I think it would fill up more
• 1:40:25
  and then you get more sponsorships and
• 1:40:27
  then you get more people that buy into
• 1:40:29
  it.
• 1:40:30
  But right now,
• 1:40:30
  everything is so expensive with an empty
• 1:40:33
  stadium.
• 1:40:35
  We've brought up the prices too much and
• 1:40:37
  promised too much
• 1:40:40
  to the athletes and like,
• 1:40:41
  I'm not complaining because it's a way
• 1:40:43
  that people can make money and,
• 1:40:45
  and revenue.
• 1:40:46
  But I just think like, I don't know.
• 1:40:52
  Things have gone too expensive.
• 1:40:53
  All right.
• 1:40:56
  Well, with that guys,
• 1:40:58
