0:03
Right now.
0:33
From the gym to the screen, yeah,
0:35
we cover it all.
0:36
Midday motivation every time you press
0:38
call.
0:38
Lunch with the Clydesdales.
0:41
Cowboy bring the heat.
0:43
Crossfit movies.
0:44
Music on repeat.
0:47
Half hour hustle, yeah,
0:48
we building that brand.
0:49
Grab a plate.
0:50
Tune in now, you part of the fam.
0:56
It's lunch time!
1:02
That is two days in a row.
1:04
Stella got her groove back.
1:06
I'm telling you, two days in a row.
1:09
Today, we got the right background.
1:11
The mic didn't mute you immediately as
1:13
soon as we got on.
1:15
We're just knocking it out the park with
1:17
this whole podcasting thing.
1:20
Just for mirrors.
1:20
Oh, man, who hit the SAP button?
1:23
I don't know who hit that,
1:24
but you better hit the like and subscribe
1:25
button.
1:26
That's what I'm talking about.
1:29
Those are the important buttons.
1:31
Tee it up.
1:33
Get those.
1:35
We're all good.
1:37
What I want to say is the opening
1:40
is a reenactment of me trying to explain
1:46
to Corey before we went on air.
1:50
I don't know what happened.
1:52
My brain disconnected from my tongue and
1:55
it just...
1:57
All of a sudden,
2:00
Scott started speaking Mandarin.
2:03
It was crazy.
2:06
Just out of nowhere.
2:08
And Scott doesn't actually speak Mandarin,
2:09
in case you guys didn't know.
2:11
It's probably because I hate my job.
2:15
Which we were also discussing.
2:17
There's that.
2:20
Because today I've got to leave to go
2:21
to a one o'clock meeting with a meeting
2:24
after that and then a meeting after that.
2:28
And I've already had a handful of things
2:30
before I got here.
2:31
Because why wouldn't you?
2:33
Because it's a short week.
2:35
So let's compress everything from five
2:37
days into four.
2:39
Yeah,
2:40
I know we tell you you get a
2:41
day off.
2:43
No,
2:43
we're going to make you work like all
2:47
the days in four.
2:51
Judy Reed,
2:52
did I hear someone speak Chinese?
2:55
Maybe.
2:56
It's entirely possible, Judy.
2:58
If you can go back and translate,
3:02
that'd be fantastic.
3:05
Hello, Judy.
3:08
That's called aphasia.
3:15
Mark Phillips has this to say.
3:18
Sweet.
3:19
I agree, Mark.
3:24
Uh...
3:26
How many of those meetings could just be
3:28
an email?
3:28
Let me answer all of them.
3:30
Well,
3:31
my first meeting was a training that I
3:32
had to conduct that couldn't be an email
3:36
because we're recording them to make a
3:38
library of trainings.
3:40
So people don't have to go out and,
3:41
Oh my God,
3:43
we've already been through this.
3:46
So there it is.
3:53
And then the next one probably could have
3:55
been an email.
3:59
Oh, my gosh.
4:02
There it is again.
4:06
I guess I should have said I'm right.
4:09
Vicky is right.
4:10
Vicky is right.
4:13
So right.
4:14
There we go.
4:17
Judy translated and it says,
4:18
go right and subscribe to Cridesdale
4:21
Media.
4:22
Cridesdale Media.
4:28
I did see Avera say that they did
4:32
Omar and that it was very hot and
4:36
sticky wherever he is.
4:39
The last time I did Omar was in
4:41
the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
4:44
I don't even know what Omar is.
4:46
It's bar-facing burpees and thrusters.
4:49
Ooh.
4:50
Yeah.
4:51
It's kind of a nasty,
4:52
nasty little hero wad.
4:54
And I did it on –
4:56
So CrossFit Outer Banks used to be strips
5:00
of lifting platforms.
5:03
So your barbell was on the rubber and
5:05
the wood was down the middle.
5:07
So you're doing burpees on the wood.
5:10
And as Lake Schweitzer formed,
5:14
it was splash down, jump, splash down,
5:18
jump.
5:20
Try not to fall down.
5:24
Jump.
5:24
Correct,
5:25
because then that wood gets slick.
5:27
Slick.
5:27
Slick as a whistle.
5:28
Slick.
5:29
Makes the down part of the burpee go
5:31
fast.
5:32
I do not like lifting on lifting platforms
5:36
during the summertime because of the same
5:38
reason.
5:39
I sweat a whole lot.
5:41
Between the sweat and the chalk,
5:42
I end up with basically an ice patch
5:45
up underneath me as far as surface is
5:49
concerned.
5:50
And like,
5:50
I am scared to death to do like
5:53
a split jerk and have my foot just
5:55
hit and go out in front of me
5:57
when I got, you know, two fifty,
6:00
two hundred sixty pounds over my head.
6:01
Not cool.
6:04
Ten thrusters at ninety five sixty five.
6:07
Fifteen bar facing burpees.
6:09
Twenty thrusters.
6:11
Twenty five bar facing burpees.
6:12
Thirty thrusters.
6:13
Thirty five.
6:16
Thirty five was absolutely brutal.
6:19
Yeah, that could be bad.
6:21
Brutal.
6:22
And it was the burpees for me.
6:24
Like I got through the thrusters.
6:25
All right.
6:27
The burpees.
6:28
But at that point in the workout, I.
6:31
You might as well just beat me with
6:32
a baseball bat because that's how it felt.
6:37
I like that.
6:38
I'm good.
6:38
I'm good with that one.
6:40
That looks like something.
6:40
I mean, it's right up my alley.
6:45
Lito, it's like a dream workout to her.
6:49
Well, we're not as fit as you, Lito.
6:52
No.
6:54
Just saying.
6:55
Working on it.
6:56
Working on it.
6:57
But as of right now, no,
6:59
not so much.
7:01
Clydesdales do not like burpees.
7:04
I have not met a big dude yet
7:05
who was like,
7:06
let's do a hundred burpees for time.
7:10
I'll tell you what else they don't like,
7:11
which we had programmed this morning
7:13
because we do it at least once a
7:15
year, is a mile run for time.
7:19
I actually had a bunch of people show
7:20
up this morning.
7:20
I was impressed.
7:22
And then I had at least
7:27
three or four of them that PR'd.
7:29
So it was pretty cool,
7:30
especially considering it's ninety degrees
7:31
outside at six o'clock in the morning.
7:36
Yeah, I, burpees for me,
7:41
it's all a mentality, right?
7:42
Like,
7:43
you control the speed and the intensity of
7:46
the burpee, right?
7:48
And it's just getting to a point where
7:54
you find a pace that makes sense to
7:56
you and if you can do that then
7:58
you can mentally get through that i that
8:00
you have to do burpees right now there's
8:02
those moments like if you're in the open
8:04
or you're in a competition and you got
8:06
to go past that comfort pace that all
8:11
of a sudden yeah now we're we're not
8:13
in fun time anymore this is not happy
8:17
happy fun time anymore
8:23
You see, the thing is,
8:25
see what happened was you go at it
8:28
with no warmup and finish before you start
8:30
sweating.
8:31
If you can finish that workout,
8:33
Dan Church, before you start sweating,
8:37
you are a rock star stud.
8:41
I can't walk outside right now without
8:44
sweating.
8:45
So like, that's just not going to happen.
8:47
I do understand what he means though.
8:50
My strategy every time I've done Fran was
8:53
to be done with it before my body
8:54
figures out what was happening.
8:57
Like just go as quick as you possibly
8:59
can until you get to like the nine
9:01
and by that point it's done basically.
9:03
So before your body figures out what's
9:05
actually going on.
9:07
Same type of thing like that.
9:10
Not to change the subject,
9:11
but that's what we do on the show.
9:13
My wife is home from work today.
9:16
She's working from home.
9:19
So when I come down to do this
9:20
show, she takes her lunch hour.
9:23
The bass on my sound system just rocked
9:27
my ceiling, her floor.
9:30
And you know what that means?
9:31
Serial killer shows.
9:34
Boom, boom.
9:35
Yeah.
9:37
yep the big bass booming through my
9:40
ceiling something interesting just
9:42
happened somebody died who did it or or
9:49
and they just revealed who did it ah
9:56
it's so silly yeah so silly it really
10:00
really is that's all she watches man you
10:03
know dude
10:06
i sleep with one eye open or my
10:09
wife would get along just fine they watch
10:11
it that's
10:13
If it's on Netflix and it involves,
10:15
as long as it doesn't involve kids,
10:17
neither one of us are watching that,
10:19
right?
10:20
Like there was one about it, some lady,
10:22
all the descriptions like,
10:24
what she did in a NICU.
10:25
And I'm like, well, not watching that.
10:27
And you got no urge for that.
10:29
Definitely not checking that out.
10:30
But like all the rest of them,
10:31
like the women who killed their husbands,
10:33
the husbands who killed their wives,
10:35
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
10:36
Yeah,
10:36
we've seen all of those a hundred times.
10:39
Sleep with one eye open.
10:43
gripping your pillow um there's there was
10:51
one that made it through um the lake
10:55
erie murders one of the one of the
10:59
things actually happened in my old
11:00
hometown and it was the sister of one
11:03
of my friends
11:04
And she wanted to know all the details
11:07
of it.
11:07
And it's something that like,
11:10
I don't want to, like, that's almost,
11:12
that's kind of a bad memory for me.
11:13
Right.
11:14
Yeah,
11:14
I don't need to know all the details.
11:19
That's the only time like I haven't
11:21
supported her in whatever she wants to
11:23
watch, right?
11:23
Like, because I just,
11:26
I didn't need to relive it.
11:29
Oh, we watched the Derek Todd Lee stuff,
11:31
and that happened right there in Baton
11:32
Rouge while my wife was going to LSU.
11:36
We've seen all of that stuff.
11:38
Proximity for her is even better.
11:40
Now she knows all the details because now
11:42
if it's somebody that she knows that knows
11:45
the person or whatever the case may be,
11:47
she's all into that.
11:51
Every bad news story starts with he or
11:53
she was obsessed with serial killers.
11:56
Actually, Wayne,
11:57
I think most of them start off with,
11:58
he seemed like such a nice guy.
12:00
He was quiet.
12:01
He's quiet.
12:02
Kept to himself.
12:03
You know why he kept to himself?
12:04
Because if you can't be real social,
12:06
if you're burying bodies in the backyard,
12:08
that's why they keep to themselves.
12:12
You know,
12:12
my wife made the news one night.
12:16
Say it again.
12:17
My wife made the news one night as
12:18
a witness to, well, I don't.
12:20
Okay.
12:21
So she was pulled up to a red
12:23
light.
12:24
Someone from the other direction ran the
12:28
red light,
12:30
and their car flipped over top my wife's
12:32
car.
12:36
And so the news camera came in,
12:38
grabbed my wife.
12:39
It was raining.
12:39
She had her hood up.
12:41
They're asking her what she saw.
12:46
To this day, my favorite,
12:47
funniest story of my wife.
12:49
She was like, I don't know.
12:52
All I saw was wheels and axles.
12:59
There it was on the six o'clock news.
13:02
And I'm like,
13:02
they find a way to make people look
13:05
like they didn't even get their GED when
13:08
they interview them for the news.
13:11
My wife is a college-educated woman,
13:13
and she came across those,
13:15
all I saw was wheels and axles.
13:17
I don't even know.
13:18
I don't even know.
13:20
I was standing there one second,
13:21
car flipped over, man.
13:21
I don't know.
13:22
Yeah,
13:25
they added that stuff to make it seem...
13:28
however they want to make it seem I
13:29
mean they could take video of us and
13:31
make us look terrible if they wanted to
13:32
it really wouldn't be that difficult to do
13:33
but yeah they always say they always
13:38
interview the stupidest people no not
13:41
really I uh
13:45
we had a TiVo at the time.
13:47
This is how long, it was like,
13:48
twenty-five years ago.
13:49
Yeah, I had a TiVo.
13:51
And I TiVo'd the news to capture that.
13:55
And when friends would come over,
13:56
I was like, hey, let's watch this.
13:59
Right?
14:00
And then I,
14:01
the saddest moment was I had to get
14:03
rid of that TiVo.
14:12
games athlete showed up at my box
14:14
yesterday to work out she did not do
14:16
omar with us i will leave her name
14:18
out of the comments section but top ten
14:20
athlete for the past five years at the
14:21
games i mean uh female top ten athlete
14:32
last five years daniel brandon in most
14:38
games athletes
14:40
My experience when they've dropped in at
14:42
boxes I belong to,
14:44
don't do the class workout.
14:48
Oddly enough,
14:49
no games athletes have ever dropped into
14:51
the box.
14:53
Believe it or not.
14:56
I am trying to be the games athlete
14:58
that drops into my own box come next
15:00
year.
15:03
I got bronchitis.
15:05
Ain't nobody got time for that.
15:10
My old gym, Sarah Sigmund started,
15:12
dropped in.
15:14
And when I was with Polaris and Christy,
15:20
games athletes would come in for the
15:21
Arnold and then drop in to work out
15:23
with Christy.
15:24
Yeah.
15:25
So like Justin Medeiros, Sam Briggs,
15:31
Dan Bailey was there all the time.
15:35
It just happened all the time just because
15:37
Christy was there, right?
15:39
And they were in for the Arnold,
15:40
so they would pop in.
15:43
You saw Dan Bailey withdrew from Xenon
15:46
over the weekend.
15:47
I did.
15:47
Did we talk about that yesterday?
15:49
Did I see that yesterday?
15:52
I don't know if we talked about it
15:54
or not.
15:55
I did text with Emily Rolfe last night.
15:58
Oh, yeah?
15:59
Asked her about the Xenon.
16:02
The Xenon.
16:04
Xenon.
16:05
Coming to a city near you.
16:08
Not really.
16:08
The next city it's going to is London,
16:10
which is nowhere near me.
16:12
Yeah, but it's near Lido.
16:13
It is near Lido.
16:15
Yeah, don't be selfish about this.
16:18
Okay, fair enough.
16:19
My bad.
16:25
And so I asked her about the experience
16:28
and all that stuff.
16:29
And for the most part, very, very glowing.
16:32
She said very well run.
16:34
The floor was very nice.
16:35
The equipment was awesome.
16:37
All of that kind of stuff.
16:39
But her being an elite.
16:41
So we had Megan on Sunday night.
16:44
Yep.
16:44
I watched it.
16:45
Elite.
16:46
Emily is an elite athlete who's finished
16:48
third at the games, right?
16:50
She has done Rogue.
16:51
She has done Waterpalooza.
16:52
She's done Dubai.
16:54
She's done all the things.
16:56
And I was like,
16:57
did it feel special to you?
16:59
And she said, like,
17:02
when you've done all the events she's
17:03
done,
17:04
it's really hard to make an event like
17:06
this special.
17:07
But she said,
17:08
I could imagine if you're not a games
17:11
athlete who's done Dubai and Rogue and all
17:13
that, that you would feel pretty special.
17:16
It probably felt like a bigger comp,
17:19
like stuff that she's already done before.
17:21
Yeah.
17:21
Yeah, I could see that.
17:23
Now,
17:24
the two pieces I think that are very
17:26
valid, kind of,
17:29
if you're an elite athlete, because one,
17:31
I don't think it's really geared for elite
17:33
athletes.
17:34
I think they're trying to use elite
17:35
athletes to show it off.
17:38
But it's really for the people who want
17:39
to go try to be like a games
17:42
athlete and get the experience, right?
17:46
Games fantasy camp is what they kept
17:48
saying about it.
17:49
Yeah.
17:50
So what I will say is the two
17:52
constructive things that she said and very
17:55
constructive, not in a mean way is one.
18:00
It's an all or nothing prize, right?
18:03
You break the world record,
18:04
you win the money.
18:05
You don't break the world record,
18:07
no money.
18:10
The other thing is she won five events
18:15
and,
18:17
abby won two and she came in second
18:20
she came in second and so she would
18:22
say she did say that it does seem
18:26
a bit skewed to the gaps in weightlifting
18:32
as opposed to the gaps in general fitness
18:36
Yeah,
18:36
John Young was saying that on the podcast
18:40
last night.
18:41
I was watching that right before I came
18:42
on here about how badly they got beaten
18:47
by Colton and Chris on one of them,
18:52
whatever it was.
18:54
But they won the snatch event,
18:55
so it ended up being a whole lot
18:57
closer.
18:58
But like he said,
19:00
they tripled their score.
19:03
whatever the whatever the other event was
19:05
and i was like man that is like
19:08
that's kind of crazy right also i think
19:10
that that probably also speaks to the
19:13
level of participation because it seems
19:16
like there's a wide gap right yeah colton
19:20
was there and chris they were on a
19:22
team emily was there but sam p technically
19:25
the number of people in the field
19:27
shouldn't matter because it's your score
19:30
on a chart
19:31
But it's also the very first time they're
19:34
making the chart.
19:36
Yeah,
19:36
but he has said that they are not
19:38
going to change it for – they don't
19:39
want to change it for like twenty years.
19:41
Yeah.
19:41
That's the plan.
19:44
Because if you change it,
19:45
then the comparison goes away.
19:48
Right.
19:50
Yeah, the standard is the standard.
19:52
So –
19:56
I thought one had a great conversation
19:58
with her, too.
19:59
I thought they were valid points.
20:00
And again,
20:01
she was very constructive about it.
20:03
It wasn't like hating on the event.
20:05
She had a good time,
20:06
said it was a fun competition,
20:08
the whole bit.
20:10
Yeah,
20:10
Seve was saying this morning that he
20:11
hasn't talked to anybody yet who's been
20:13
there who had a negative thing to say
20:15
about it.
20:18
yeah i get the people i know that
20:19
we've had a blast yeah constructive is one
20:21
thing but just nobody's been like you
20:23
sucked you stupid whatever like there's
20:26
been none of that so good on them
20:28
dude for the very first one you know
20:30
everything seemed to go off without a
20:31
hitch moving on to the next one speaking
20:35
of special and feeling special you can
20:39
feel special after a good night's sleep
20:42
When you're good and recovered and not
20:45
that melatonin hangover,
20:46
like a special good night's sleep, right?
20:49
If you go to thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy,
20:54
get fifteen percent off your order.
20:57
That is promo code Jazzy at checkout.
20:59
Fifteen percent off your order.
21:03
And.
21:06
It's third party tested, you know,
21:08
you're clean.
21:10
So good night's sleep, clean, conscious,
21:15
all that stuff.
21:16
Good.
21:16
All of the things.
21:20
Um, uh,
21:27
it annoys me that there are pure strength
21:29
events all the time,
21:30
but pure endurance or pure gymnastics gets
21:33
aggressively criticized.
21:37
that's a he's not wrong he's not he's
21:40
not wrong and uh oh here we go
21:43
larry young's about to throw some stuff in
21:45
there but like
21:47
I like the fact that there was at
21:50
Xenon,
21:50
the one minute max echo by calories.
21:53
Cause it's not something you see every day
21:56
and it is incredibly difficult to do.
21:59
And it doesn't necessarily, you know,
22:02
you need to be big.
22:03
You need to be strong to be able
22:05
to put a good score up,
22:05
but I could also put a decent score
22:07
up for my size and for my age,
22:11
because I train on that thing all the
22:13
damn time.
22:14
We don't have a C two bikes.
22:15
So anytime we have something that Brandon
22:16
programs with the bike,
22:18
I am converting calories over to the, uh,
22:20
to the echo.
22:21
So like I can hold pretty high RPMs
22:23
for a pretty long amount of time.
22:29
I like that.
22:30
I think the thirty ring muscle ups for
22:31
time at the twenty eighteen games.
22:33
I enjoyed the shit out of that because
22:34
that's another completely specialized test
22:38
and it needs to be tested.
22:40
If you're going to test,
22:41
if you're going to have a one rep
22:42
max,
22:42
you're going to have the not even a
22:43
one rep max scratch that the total you're
22:47
going to have the CrossFit total,
22:49
which is literally three power lifting
22:52
event.
22:52
Right.
22:54
Then, yeah.
22:55
Why not have to balance that out?
22:57
We're also going to do thirty ring muscle
22:58
ups for time.
23:00
And if you want to throw something else
23:01
in there,
23:02
they should have did just a straight run.
23:06
I don't think there's any criticism with
23:08
Xenon and the balanced test.
23:10
No,
23:11
I think it's the balanced scoring that her
23:15
comment was made about, right?
23:16
Yeah, absolutely.
23:17
There is a little bit of everything in
23:19
this Xenon.
23:21
Um,
23:24
Her point was Abby won two weightlifting
23:26
events.
23:27
Right.
23:28
And wins the overall thing.
23:30
She wins five of the other events.
23:33
Which is half of them.
23:34
Yeah.
23:37
If you won half the events at the
23:39
CrossFit Games,
23:40
you would win the CrossFit Games.
23:43
If you took first place at half of
23:46
the events...
23:48
last year not even this year with the
23:49
twenty last year if you won half of
23:52
the ten you are going to win the
23:55
games period true so that's where that's i
23:59
think that's what that that's how she's
24:00
looking at and i don't think she's wrong
24:02
so lito go back and look at the
24:04
scores i'm not trying to like look how
24:09
bad emily beat other people in some of
24:12
the events
24:14
And then compare it to how bad Abby
24:16
beat other people in the weightlifting
24:18
events.
24:20
I think that it doesn't make sense.
24:24
But in all fairness,
24:27
we have one data point.
24:29
Yeah.
24:30
We have one data point.
24:33
And once more of these come along,
24:36
I think we'll be able to see if
24:38
there truly is a gap by winning those
24:41
two that Abby won.
24:45
Yeah, let's see what happens in London.
24:46
Let's see what happens down the road a
24:48
little bit.
24:49
We have one event, one weekend.
24:51
Because in some of those wins that Emily
24:54
had, she won by a pretty big margin.
24:58
Yeah, a hundred percent.
25:10
So again, Vicky, it's not about placing.
25:13
It's about where you plot out on the
25:15
chart.
25:17
Other people's results mean nothing to you
25:19
and your score.
25:21
No.
25:22
The people I know that did it would
25:24
one percent like to do it again.
25:26
I mean, even.
25:26
Yeah,
25:30
everybody I talk to would like to do
25:31
it again if another no,
25:33
no other reason than to see if they
25:34
can beat their previous scores.
25:36
Which is the most CrossFit thing you can
25:38
possibly imagine.
25:39
I just want to beat my score,
25:40
my old score.
25:42
So I think that's pretty cool.
25:47
So yeah, the scoring is on.
25:50
If you did it by yourself,
25:52
the scoring would be the same as if
25:55
you did it in a group of ten
25:56
people because it's only based on your
25:59
finish time or finish weight or finish
26:02
whatever from each event.
26:04
And then they go over to a spreadsheet
26:06
and they go, okay,
26:08
two fifteen snatch equals six hundred
26:12
points yep a three fifty eight in this
26:17
equals seven hundred and twenty two points
26:23
so you know
26:28
What's stopping you from doing it at home?
26:30
Just the Rhino?
26:31
You can buy a Rhino.
26:33
Twelve hundred dollars.
26:34
You buy a Rhino from Rogue.
26:36
Twelve hundred dollars and twelve hundred
26:38
dollars to ship.
26:39
C-two?
26:40
Is it C-two?
26:40
That's a C-two deal, isn't it?
26:43
Or is it Rogue?
26:44
I don't remember.
26:45
It's Rogue.
26:46
It's Rogue.
26:46
Yeah.
26:47
Go get one from Rogue.
26:48
Three ships free.
26:52
yeah buy a rhino and two ten pound
26:55
dumbbells just yeah hundred percent free
26:58
ships free baby yeah rogue is a major
27:02
sponsor of xenon they created this
27:04
supposedly just for xenon it looked cool
27:12
um
27:14
From what I understand,
27:15
if you are proficient or enjoy or however
27:19
you want to look at that, deadlifts,
27:20
then you probably did pretty good on it.
27:22
And if not, but they said it's multi-use.
27:24
You can deadlift.
27:27
You can belt squat.
27:28
You can do a multitude of things on
27:30
it,
27:31
not just what they used it for over
27:33
the weekend.
27:34
Larry Young's waiting on his out by where
27:37
FedEx delivers.
27:42
I wonder if they can fit it in
27:43
that little envelope.
27:46
You got to send in parts if you're
27:47
going to do it like that.
27:48
Some assembly required.
27:50
You get the nuts and screws on day
27:52
one.
27:54
Larry Young's a big old boy.
27:56
He can handle it.
27:57
If it comes in several different pieces,
27:59
if it comes in all at once,
28:01
I'm pretty sure he can handle it.
28:02
That dude is large.
28:05
He got a mitt on him.
28:07
It swallowed my hand when we shook hands.
28:08
It was crazy.
28:12
Jason Bourne called that event and it was
28:15
crazy the different muscles that athletes
28:17
were feeling after it.
28:19
I loved Adam Klink's description of it
28:21
last night on WODprep.
28:24
He said that him and Jake Douglas figured
28:27
out
28:28
kind of the formula.
28:30
And his call for that was,
28:33
which was interesting,
28:34
it needs to be standardized because it's
28:37
speed over distance.
28:39
And the shorter you make the distance,
28:42
the faster you can go.
28:46
And so he actually said to Katie that
28:50
you need to standardize this in a way
28:53
that prevents people from gaming it.
28:57
Good news is if they told that to
28:58
Katie, she's actually going to listen.
29:02
Well, I think Wilson Park will listen.
29:03
I think those organizers will listen.
29:09
They're not stupid people,
29:10
and they know what side of their bread
29:14
their butter is on.
29:19
Avera says,
29:19
I'll do a Xenon if Lito agrees to
29:22
do it with me as a mixed pair.
29:23
Lito, before you answer,
29:24
you are not used to finishing last,
29:26
so it will be a new experience for
29:28
you for sure.
29:32
Basically, Avera was like,
29:33
I'm going to do it with Lito,
29:34
but Lito needs to drag us across the
29:36
finish line.
29:41
Again, Wayne,
29:42
the placings don't matter on the scoring.
29:47
It's not typical CrossFit.
29:50
It has nothing to do with the final
29:51
score.
29:59
Zenom is the most talked about event
30:01
today.
30:01
The event was amazing.
30:02
It's the most talked about because it's
30:04
what just happened.
30:06
Yeah, it was literally three days ago.
30:08
I think that the feedback has been amazing
30:11
and I think the feedback is good.
30:13
But I do...
30:16
want to see where they go from here
30:18
yeah i'm curious i truly am and they're
30:22
going to build up a more of a
30:24
database as they go so like you can
30:26
have more scores in there and more scores
30:28
in there more scores in there it's going
30:30
to be it's going to be pretty cool
30:36
uh they do know how to not to
30:37
pre-butter their bread before they toast
30:39
it
30:41
Unless your name is David Justin.
30:42
He sent me a video of him buttering
30:44
his bread and then putting it in the
30:46
toaster.
30:46
Because he wanted to live on the edge.
30:48
He sent me the same video.
30:53
Look what we created.
30:54
We created a world where people are now
30:57
trying to pre-butter their bread before
31:00
they toast it.
31:06
It's an aggregate score.
31:07
How does the placing not count?
31:09
Your score is not based.
31:10
You could finish dead last,
31:12
but if you get a score high enough,
31:14
you could still score nine hundred points.
31:20
There is a chart for finishing times that
31:24
you look at and that's what you get
31:27
your score.
31:31
There's truly no correlation between place
31:33
of finish and scoring other than just the
31:38
natural assumption that the people going
31:40
faster than you would be ahead of you
31:42
on the leaderboard.
31:43
Their score would be higher,
31:45
but the difference between the scores has
31:47
nothing to do with where you placed.
31:50
Oh, it's weird.
31:52
It's, I mean, I say it's weird.
31:53
It's different.
31:55
It is much more individual and
31:59
or she much more community focused and
32:01
it's hey bro you it's you against you
32:10
uh did david johnson butter sourdough uh i
32:15
put it like this it didn't look like
32:17
store-bought it was not wonder bread no it
32:20
wasn't it did not look like it was
32:24
the best thing since sliced bread sliced
32:25
bread
32:29
uh larry young the best thing about xenon
32:32
is you know what you're training for
32:34
either you're willing to put into work or
32:35
not ten events baby what's your max snatch
32:41
what's your max calories on the echo bike
32:44
how fast can you do these other things
32:47
one i don't believe it was guessed there
32:49
was a lot of research as to what
32:51
they did a whole bunch of math what
32:54
and they tested and they tested and they
32:56
tested yeah so it's not a guess but
33:00
you that owner said on several podcasts
33:03
they if they change the score it defeats
33:06
the purpose of what they're trying to
33:09
accomplish accomplish yeah
33:16
Daniel Arnson giving nine ninety nine to
33:19
the girls cause of going to the games.
33:22
And we forgot to mention that at the
33:24
top all weekend, all week long.
33:27
We are taking super chat donations for
33:31
Carolyn and Jamie to get to the CrossFit
33:34
Games.
33:36
And one hundred percent of what you donate
33:38
will go to them.
33:40
I am taking I am paying whatever YouTube
33:42
takes out of it.
33:44
I am paying to them.
33:46
So they will get one hundred percent of
33:49
the donations that come into the chat.
33:52
I texted Jamie yesterday and I said,
33:54
you missed a huge opportunity to charge a
33:56
dollar ninety nine per flex.
33:58
She was like, yeah, I realized that later.
34:00
Maybe we'll do that Sunday night.
34:03
I said if anybody would ever ask me
34:05
to flex,
34:06
I would take all of my donations and
34:07
give it to you.
34:09
I'm not going to the games this year.
34:13
If by some wild chance somebody asks for
34:16
that this week, I got you.
34:20
Daniel does have a condition for Jamie.
34:22
She only gets her cut if she says
34:23
go blue.
34:24
Not going to happen.
34:25
It's going to be a cold day in
34:27
hell.
34:28
Not going to happen.
34:32
uh let me answer this earlier uh who
34:35
was it vicky i think was asking see
34:38
if i can find it right quick oh
34:45
yeah equipment question if you had to
34:46
choose between buying a ski or a runner
34:48
for your home gym what would you get
34:50
or you got an echo bike and a
34:51
rower um i would probably get a skier
34:55
because outside is free and i live in
34:57
south louisiana
34:58
You were in Tennessee.
34:59
I don't know if it snows where you
35:01
are.
35:01
So wintertime might be a question or if
35:04
you live on a hill or anything like
35:05
that.
35:05
But outside is free as far as running
35:08
is concerned.
35:08
I wish we had a runner like at
35:10
the gym just because it's a whole lot
35:13
easier to just do your run, get off,
35:15
do whatever you got to do,
35:16
jump right on the runner instead of having
35:17
to go back outside,
35:19
come to your barbell all the way in
35:20
the back.
35:20
But for the house,
35:22
I don't think I need a runner.
35:23
I think I would rather have a skier.
35:27
Let me answer that question for you,
35:28
Vicky.
35:29
If someone's buying it for me,
35:31
I go with the runner.
35:33
Yeah.
35:33
Because... A huge price difference.
35:35
Because I can easily afford a ski erg.
35:37
Yeah.
35:39
I cannot easily afford a runner.
35:41
It's like three times the price.
35:43
If Santa Claus has come to Vicky's house
35:45
and said, you get one piece of equipment,
35:48
pick it, go with the runner.
35:50
Yeah.
35:54
Um...
35:56
Or something else here.
35:57
I better be careful, Corey.
35:58
You never know what people ask you to
36:00
do for donations.
36:02
Never underestimate the levels I was
36:06
stooped to to help my friends that winter.
36:12
Just saying.
36:13
Gosh, Corey,
36:14
the skier gets so damn boring.
36:16
It's boring,
36:16
but it's an effective training tool.
36:19
I skied this morning.
36:20
I don't want to see it at the
36:21
games.
36:22
I skied this morning.
36:23
As a matter of fact,
36:23
I'm going back and skiing again this
36:25
afternoon.
36:27
It'll work your core,
36:29
which you don't realize until after you
36:30
get done,
36:31
but my abs will be hurting if I
36:34
do a serious ski piece.
36:38
Yeah, I agree.
36:43
Speaking of things you see at the games,
36:46
I've gotten a lot of engagement on a
36:47
post I made on Instagram yesterday about
36:50
my plan to go with ten athletes at
36:52
the CrossFit Games.
36:54
I would say a lot is kind of
36:56
a...
37:00
That's a, that's a misnomer.
37:00
You got a way more than a lot.
37:04
What I, here's the thing that I'm not,
37:07
I'm not like sold a hundred percent on
37:09
this plan that I'm throwing out,
37:12
but the data is telling us that less
37:14
people are attending the games,
37:16
less people are signing up for the open,
37:19
less people are watching online.
37:23
right yeah we got to do something because
37:27
the definition of insanity is to keep
37:29
doing the same thing over and over and
37:31
over again and expecting a different
37:33
result and there are a lot of factors
37:37
and i'm well aware of them getting rid
37:40
of this the festival atmosphere at in
37:43
madison was a huge mistake upping the
37:46
ticket price for the games huge mistake
37:50
Having a season where everybody is
37:53
touchy-feely, hey,
37:54
let's make everybody have eighteen
37:56
opportunities to make the games is...
37:58
It's a bad idea.
38:01
It's a bad idea, right?
38:04
If I was to go with the ten
38:06
per,
38:08
the rest of the season would have to
38:10
be meaningful and have as much excitement
38:15
getting there as the ten people seen do
38:18
the events at the games.
38:23
Yeah,
38:23
I think we touched on that not to
38:25
be stripped back and changed and modified.
38:31
I feel like we touched on that whenever
38:32
we talked about it the other day,
38:33
like you would,
38:34
there's no way you couldn't do the current
38:37
season and have it in with ten people.
38:41
No, no, no, no, no.
38:42
It's not going to happen.
38:45
And I think we touched on that,
38:46
but I think people can't get a hold
38:47
of sound bites.
38:49
And they just assumed that we meant,
38:51
oh yeah, no,
38:51
we're still going to have the exact same
38:53
thing that we're going on now,
38:54
but we're just going to go with ten
38:55
instead of thirty.
38:57
It's not what we said.
38:59
Not what Scott said.
39:01
No, you have to overhaul it all.
39:03
Yes.
39:04
All of it has to be overhauled.
39:11
And having it in one of the most
39:12
expensive cities.
39:13
Big mistake.
39:14
Yes.
39:14
A hundred percent.
39:18
Not even cities, states.
39:20
California is expensive in general.
39:25
Avera, Scott,
39:25
were the seats ever empty in Madison?
39:27
I do not think so.
39:28
Go back to Madison.
39:29
Yes, they were.
39:31
But towards the end, they were not.
39:35
This is the problem.
39:36
Madison is expensive.
39:38
It is an old,
39:39
antiquated venue that takes a week of
39:43
setup to get ready.
39:46
You had to build the outdoor venue and
39:51
tear it down after.
39:54
It was a great idea.
39:56
But just because I am sure you could
39:59
find something in another city that you
40:01
could do the same thing and wouldn't have
40:03
to do all that.
40:08
Right?
40:08
Like, it's doable.
40:11
You go to Columbus...
40:14
They have a baseball stadium,
40:16
they have a hockey arena,
40:18
and they have a soccer field literally in
40:21
two blocks.
40:26
And I'm not saying come to Columbus
40:27
because maybe it's not the best or ideal
40:29
situation either, but if Columbus has it,
40:32
other cities have the same thing.
40:36
Right?
40:37
Seattle.
40:38
Seattle.
40:41
I've been, I've been to the,
40:42
whatever the name of the Marlins arena is.
40:44
You can see the football stadium from it.
40:46
Yeah.
40:46
Like it's literally right there.
40:48
As we were walking up,
40:50
there's lots of places like that is,
40:52
is what the point is that you could
40:55
easily do stuff like host the games and
40:58
have it be more cost effective where you,
41:01
you don't feel like you need to sell
41:03
tickets for whatever they're going for.
41:05
I know,
41:05
I know that are absolutely ridiculous.
41:09
Daniel Arnson,
41:10
I think I've said a ton of times
41:11
that he is a smart individual.
41:15
He likes my idea because it's better,
41:17
concise, more drama.
41:19
Getting to the games in every event
41:20
matters more.
41:23
Bingo, bango.
41:27
And I will admit that Madison was the
41:29
height of sports popularity,
41:32
but we are not there anymore.
41:33
We have far less affiliates even.
41:39
I like Columbus too little Larry Young to
41:45
the hopefully Xenon takes off same ten
41:48
people mid go girls it wouldn't be the
41:54
same ten people no you look at the
41:58
men's field this year I swear I said
42:00
this Sunday night it will be the smallest
42:03
margin of points between first and tenth
42:06
we've ever seen at the games
42:11
It's gonna be a dogfighting.
42:12
Twenty events.
42:18
When do you get on the payroll?
42:19
When I do.
42:24
Same time you start sending me checks
42:25
there, Scott.
42:26
Daniel, don't even worry about it.
42:31
That's good.
42:33
Unrelated,
42:33
did you guys see that Erica Follow is
42:35
with HWPO?
42:36
I heard that rumor.
42:37
I've tried to figure it out.
42:39
I have not seen that winter.
42:41
Everything I see shows she's still with
42:43
Misfit.
42:46
So unless something popped in the last day
42:48
or so...
42:52
I had not heard that at all.
42:56
Not that I keep up with Erica Follow
42:57
that much, but...
42:59
I don't see her being a HWPO athlete
43:01
unless she was going there specifically
43:03
for Justin.
43:07
Yeah, Kyler.
43:10
Oh,
43:11
HWPO posted their athlete roster today.
43:13
I'll check it out.
43:14
I've already said I said this yesterday,
43:16
but the fact that Bruce is not talking
43:17
about the game so much tells me he
43:19
will have a lot to say after they
43:20
are done and a lot of changes are
43:22
coming.
43:23
But he did help move the hopper.
43:28
And he did talk about the games in
43:29
his two-brain speech.
43:31
He did.
43:32
I don't think he has a lot to
43:35
say about the games because he's not
43:36
necessarily involved with the games other
43:38
than being CEO at this point.
43:42
He just got there.
43:43
Everything has already been put in place
43:45
and in motion before he ever got there.
43:48
I hate to be this way,
43:49
but I have a meeting in one minute.
43:51
So we are going to go real quick
43:54
right now.
43:55
Bye, guys.
43:56
Like and subscribe.
43:56
I wouldn't wait to get to the editing
43:58
room to jazz me up.
44:00
I'm already jazzy.
