What is going on, everybody?
0:29
Welcome to Thursday Night
0:31
CrossFit Talk with Scott and Jamie.
0:33
As you can see, brand new opening,
0:36
same old song because we're
0:37
never getting rid of the theme song.
0:40
I couldn't see it.
0:42
Oh, my gosh.
0:42
I know.
0:43
I'm so mad.
0:45
I was trying to find the play.
0:46
Nothing.
0:47
Nothing was available.
0:50
I kept my mouth shut.
0:50
Jamie and her technical issues.
0:53
I'm going back to the phone, dang it.
0:55
That worked better.
0:57
what is up kenneth holly
0:59
jody lex sarah great to
1:02
have you all here tonight
1:04
um kenneth says new intro
1:07
is popping and attention
1:09
grabbing acr just jumped in
1:11
the chat I got to tell you
1:13
acr this is just for you um
1:17
I've learned today that
1:19
live from daryl's house if
1:21
you don't know what that is
1:22
it's daryl hall from hollow notes
1:25
has a show where he has a barn,
1:27
invites musicians out,
1:29
and I watched the whole
1:30
Johnny Resnick episode again today.
1:33
They're now available on YouTube,
1:35
so you can check those out.
1:36
And I was thinking of you, ACR,
1:39
since you and I did that
1:40
Goo Goo Dolls top five,
1:42
and it is freaking awesome.
1:43
You should check it out.
1:46
So we always start with some
1:49
goofy TV stuff because
1:52
we're in the off season
1:53
before shit gets real.
1:55
So right now,
1:57
we were just about to finish
1:59
season two of Reacher last week.
2:01
Did you?
2:02
Oh my gosh, Kenneth.
2:04
I know.
2:05
What the heck, Kenneth?
2:10
The greatest duo in the
2:11
history of rock and roll.
2:12
That's what that is.
2:15
So we were about to finish
2:17
Reacher season two.
2:19
Did you, did you, did you finish it?
2:23
I finished it.
2:24
We watched it yesterday, Tuesday night.
2:27
Finally.
2:27
Um, I, it was good and I am like,
2:33
they wrapped it up good,
2:34
but I still think I like
2:35
season one better.
2:38
I've come to the realization
2:40
they're just two different,
2:41
they're just two different entities.
2:45
They both have a different
2:46
vibe and I like the vibe in
2:48
both at different times.
2:51
Um,
2:53
And so I'm excited to see
2:54
where they go with season
2:55
three because there is
2:56
going to be one apparently.
2:59
But yeah, this one was total,
3:02
and even the first one,
3:03
total 80s action movie hero throwback.
3:08
And I loved every bit of the ending.
3:11
Yeah.
3:12
Yeah, the ending was good.
3:13
They wrapped it up really good.
3:14
I was really happy with it.
3:17
Yeah, so season three has been confirmed.
3:20
They're already filming it.
3:21
They're filming in Maine.
3:24
and um it's off of book
3:27
seven of lee child
3:29
persuader so I actually
3:30
think I'm gonna get it and
3:31
read it because I haven't I
3:33
didn't read the other books
3:34
I don't know if you did I
3:35
did not yeah I love I love
3:38
reading and I i always
3:39
prefer books over movies
3:40
whatnot so I think I'm
3:41
gonna get this book soon
3:42
and read it and have an
3:44
idea have an idea so I love
3:46
books over movies too and
3:47
so generally if I know I'm
3:49
gonna watch the movie I
3:50
don't read the book because
3:52
it'll just ruin it for me
3:53
It probably will.
3:55
It's all right.
3:56
I cannot stand the Harry Potter movies.
4:00
Cannot stand them.
4:01
Yeah.
4:03
Yeah.
4:03
Cause the books are so much better.
4:05
Yeah.
4:06
Agreed.
4:07
Grisham stuff.
4:08
The books are so much better.
4:11
Um, yeah.
4:13
Yeah.
4:14
So, and they've confirmed,
4:15
obviously Reacher's in it
4:17
and Neely is in it and that's it.
4:20
We, we,
4:21
if we're lucky we'll get a
4:22
cameo kind of like we did
4:23
with the one officer.
4:25
I always call him the tweet tornado.
4:30
Yes.
4:30
Yes.
4:33
But, and I,
4:34
cause I can't remember his last name.
4:35
I know.
4:35
I can't think of it right now either.
4:37
Yeah.
4:40
So I wanted,
4:40
so last week I got you turned
4:41
on to welcome to Rexham.
4:45
And you told me before we
4:46
went on the air that you
4:48
have binge watched both season and
4:50
Yes.
4:51
And you were done with Welcome to Wrexham.
4:53
Yeah, we got through the whole darn thing.
4:55
It does not help anything
4:57
that Aaron is still off
4:58
work because of his heel.
4:59
Because I feel like that's
5:01
what we do is like sit here
5:03
and binge TV if I'm not at the gym.
5:05
So yeah,
5:06
we got through all two seasons of
5:08
Welcome to Wrexham.
5:09
All 36 episodes.
5:10
Yeah, a ton.
5:12
I was like, this needs to hurry up.
5:14
This needs to hurry up.
5:15
But yeah, I was like addicted.
5:18
It was incredible.
5:19
And you're in...
5:20
if you are at all a fan of
5:21
ryan reynolds like you're
5:23
gonna love it his yeah his
5:26
humor throughout is just
5:27
awesome yeah and if you if
5:33
you like a good underdog
5:34
story like unreal
5:40
so Lex is asking is anyone
5:41
watching True Detective so
5:44
I watched the first season
5:45
of True Detective and it
5:47
was weird and wacky and I
5:49
loved it I could not get
5:50
through season two so I
5:52
stopped watching them but
5:53
I've heard that this season
5:55
is really really good and
5:56
every season is a
5:57
completely different story
5:59
with completely different
6:00
characters so my wife just started it
6:06
So now it's like,
6:07
do I want to watch it alone
6:09
or let her like have me catch up?
6:12
Yeah.
6:13
So we got to figure that out.
6:15
Oh boy.
6:16
Don't get me turned on to another one.
6:17
I don't need any other shows to binge.
6:22
Yeah.
6:23
Andrew says it's funny that
6:24
Ryan and Rob were not
6:24
really close friends before
6:26
buying that team.
6:27
Yeah.
6:27
They had never met.
6:28
It sounds like Rob just kind
6:30
of like DM dry in and
6:31
they're like so close now
6:33
and it's so cute.
6:35
It is.
6:36
And that both families are
6:37
all involved and that both
6:39
are married to stars in their own right.
6:46
Yeah, for me, I honestly found it.
6:49
I know you have this at the end,
6:50
but like for me watching
6:52
Welcome to Wrexham,
6:54
everything going on with
6:55
the Lions right now,
6:56
I like I felt like it was like.
6:59
a synchro story.
7:01
Like, like you,
7:03
you feel as the way they're
7:06
talking about the town and
7:07
the way that team has been knocked out,
7:09
like bottle, you know,
7:11
a little bit different,
7:11
obviously like lines were
7:13
never going to get knocked
7:14
out of the NFL.
7:15
So you're safe there, but like, yeah,
7:17
we were like the worst team
7:18
in the league for years.
7:19
I mean,
7:19
it's been 30 years since we've even
7:23
had a shot.
7:24
So like,
7:26
In seeing grown men cry in the stands,
7:29
which happened at both the
7:31
last two games for the Lions,
7:33
it's like milestones.
7:35
I just had that feeling that whole time.
7:39
It's just like our town.
7:41
It's just like watching my team.
7:44
There's also history lessons,
7:47
like the mining accident
7:48
that happened in Wrexham.
7:50
Like that,
7:51
that episode blew me away and
7:53
how the aristocrats kind of
7:58
just let it be.
8:00
Yeah.
8:01
So, um, yeah.
8:05
I'm very excited to see the
8:07
remodel that they do on
8:09
that stadium and how they, like,
8:11
they just,
8:11
they're doing such a wonderful job.
8:14
Now I'm tied into a soccer
8:15
team that I never thought,
8:16
and I'm not a big soccer fan,
8:18
but I'm very,
8:19
very like wrapped into this
8:21
team and seeing how they do
8:22
and continue on.
8:25
Lex is asking, what am I drinking?
8:27
It is actually a nitro cold brew.
8:29
So yeah.
8:34
That is what I am drinking.
8:36
Frost?
8:37
Paper Street?
8:39
I'm out of frost.
8:42
So I had to go with a local store variety,
8:46
but it's a zero sugar flavored one.
8:49
Oh, nice.
8:50
So it is actually Mackinaw
8:56
Fudge Nitro Cold Brew, zero calories.
9:00
That sounds amazing.
9:02
It's really good.
9:04
And it does taste like chocolate milk.
9:09
What's up, Corey?
9:09
A little bit.
9:10
Not fully chocolate milk.
9:11
It has a coffee flavor to it still.
9:14
But, yeah.
9:16
Well, good.
9:16
You want that.
9:19
All right.
9:19
I was going to say that I
9:23
was watching a couple goofy
9:26
shows recently.
9:29
If you,
9:29
this is the dumbest show in the world,
9:31
but I got hooked.
9:32
It's called the spicy, super hot,
9:35
the spicy world of pepper people.
9:38
Okay.
9:39
And it's about the mission
9:41
to make the world's hottest pepper.
9:49
It is crazy.
9:49
It is stupid.
9:51
It is what these people do
9:52
to their bodies is insane.
9:56
So they grow peppers and
9:58
then they eat them?
10:00
So it's the whole gambit of
10:03
these pepper people.
10:05
Some are growers.
10:07
Some compete in eating challenges.
10:09
Yeah.
10:11
So they have like a league where round one,
10:14
everybody has to eat a pepper.
10:16
And if you don't throw up or drink milk,
10:19
you move on to round two.
10:21
And then it keeps going up 10 rounds.
10:24
And the 10th round is speed.
10:26
You have to eat like six
10:28
peppers the fastest.
10:33
it is so and there there's a
10:36
guy named joey scoville who
10:39
goes around like tasting
10:40
all these peppers to
10:41
determine if it's in the
10:43
running for the hottest so
10:45
he's going to like
10:46
pittsburgh and texas and
10:47
louisiana and all this
10:49
crazy stuff tasting peppers
10:52
so uh it was it it's so
10:56
stupid but julie and I are
10:58
like five episodes in
11:02
Yeah, that's crazy.
11:03
I'll have to have my cousin
11:05
check that out.
11:05
He that he will eat the spiciest things.
11:08
I just don't understand it.
11:10
Yeah, crazy.
11:14
So we'll move on to.
11:21
I pretended to like peppers
11:23
when I first started dating
11:24
Lex and she would make me meals.
11:26
I am a no for peppers now.
11:31
Yeah.
11:31
That's a,
11:32
you gotta just speak up from the get go.
11:34
I,
11:35
my brother-in-law did the same thing
11:36
when he was dating my sister,
11:38
they went out and he's too nice.
11:41
And so he like said he liked mush.
11:43
They had gotten,
11:44
somebody had gotten pizza.
11:45
He said he didn't mind
11:46
mushrooms or liked them.
11:48
So everyone gave him their
11:50
mushrooms and now,
11:51
and then for like a while year,
11:53
he got stuck eating
11:54
mushrooms all the time.
11:55
People would like order them extra.
11:58
it took a while for him to
11:59
speak up and be like no I
12:00
actually don't like
12:01
mushrooms I just was being
12:02
kind um so yeah lesson
12:05
learned so sarah asks am I
12:07
still going to christie's
12:08
gym yes yes I am was just
12:12
talking about that we were
12:14
um alexis carolyn is a
12:17
phony she doesn't like veggies
12:24
All right,
12:24
let's get into a little bit of
12:26
CrossFit talk now that we
12:28
have started the show off
12:29
with our goofy TV talk and randomness.
12:34
The CrossFit HQ announced
12:37
they have appointed a
12:40
CrossFit affiliate council this week.
12:46
And I'm going to share the
12:48
post so you can see that.
12:53
So there's the new affiliate council.
12:57
I'm gonna go through the names.
12:58
It starts with Austin giving
13:01
like an explanation of it all.
13:04
And then these are the
13:06
people that have been selected.
13:09
Zia Rorbaugh.
13:12
She is from Encitas, California,
13:14
CrossFit Counterculture.
13:19
Miquel Boutillion.
13:23
But tell him something like that.
13:25
It is France names France
13:28
with CrossFit names.
13:31
Trying to do my best French accent.
13:33
Craig Howard Diablo CrossFit Pleasant Hill,
13:35
California.
13:38
Gavin Heselton CrossFit Glasgow, Scotland,
13:43
United Kingdom.
13:43
Ian Barbour CrossFit Glasgow, Scotland,
13:50
United Kingdom.
13:53
Joshua Plusker, CrossFit Invictus Back Bay,
13:56
Boston, Massachusetts, Jason Kalipa,
13:59
NC CrossFit, and NorCal CrossFit,
14:02
Bay Area, California.
14:07
And that is the group.
14:09
That is the group.
14:11
So already Carolyn says,
14:17
why two from the same affiliate?
14:19
Well, I have a question.
14:20
Why three from California?
14:23
Yeah, that too.
14:26
So you have Kalipa Howard
14:29
and the first one, a roar bar,
14:34
all from California.
14:36
You have Boston represented.
14:37
So some East coast three from the West.
14:42
two from the same in the uk
14:44
we have none from australia
14:46
none from south america
14:48
south america is where
14:49
we're growing the most
14:51
australia is a major player
14:53
in crossfit affiliates and
14:54
they have none and none
14:58
from the midwest so and
15:03
this this in no way changes the regional
15:07
representatives that are
15:09
throughout the country that
15:10
are holding these um
15:13
affiliate summits and
15:14
things like that those were
15:15
still and those are still
15:18
in play okay so I don't
15:22
understand what all this is
15:24
about that's what I'm yeah
15:26
it's like yeah I mean I
15:28
guess we could listen to
15:29
austin you want to listen
15:31
to austin yeah what does he
15:32
got to say that
15:34
are organically receiving inbound,
15:37
that are doing strong work
15:39
within our community,
15:40
that have a strong voice,
15:41
that are able to hold us accountable,
15:43
that are interested and
15:45
invested in the growth of CrossFit,
15:47
but will give us a
15:49
perspective that we may not
15:50
have internally.
15:52
and a really important voice
15:53
for us when we do things, for one,
15:56
for them to hold us honest,
15:57
to give us feedback,
15:58
but also to help the community as well.
16:01
Communication's been a struggle for us,
16:03
but we also know that our
16:04
affiliates listen to each
16:05
other really well.
16:07
Sometimes, you gotta look to your left,
16:09
look to your right, and say, we got this.
16:12
If there's an opportunity to learn,
16:14
we want to take it.
16:15
And we look at that.
16:15
The affiliate council is an
16:16
opportunity to learn,
16:17
to listen and to make sure
16:19
that we measure twice before we cut.
16:22
We need a group of affiliate owners.
16:24
Okay.
16:25
So what,
16:26
what was the affiliate reps that
16:29
we already have?
16:31
Is that not what this is?
16:32
I'm confused.
16:37
So this is a committee that will just be,
16:40
um, in, uh,
16:43
Let me get this.
16:45
This is a committee that
16:46
would like just be kind of
16:47
hanging out at HQ, I guess.
16:52
Getting input about or I don't know.
16:56
I don't know.
16:57
It seems duplicative from
16:59
the regional affiliate.
17:01
Yeah.
17:04
And I don't think while I
17:06
liked Austin saying
17:08
communication has been a problem for us.
17:12
Some of the shortcomings, it just doesn't,
17:16
it seems duplicative to me.
17:18
We already have a group of
17:19
affiliate owners who are
17:21
representing CrossFit as middlemen,
17:24
middlewomen.
17:26
And I don't get why this is needed.
17:31
So Andrew says the affiliate
17:33
reps work for CrossFit and
17:34
these are just affiliate owners.
17:36
Yes.
17:38
I can maybe get behind that.
17:40
I can see that a little bit.
17:45
Okay, I see that too.
17:48
But they are affiliate owners as well.
17:50
Yeah, right.
17:55
Well, Andrew Charles is an owner.
17:57
Yes, he is an owner.
17:58
Yeah.
17:58
Yeah.
18:04
I would think most of them are.
18:06
I really can't imagine that there's any.
18:08
Chase Ingram is an affiliate owner.
18:11
Yep.
18:14
Well, I think he still owns CrossFit.
18:17
Isn't it CrossFit?
18:19
Big D or whatever.
18:20
He's in Dallas, right?
18:22
Yeah.
18:23
Yeah.
18:25
Yeah, unless things have changed.
18:27
I thought that they were.
18:32
Because our affiliate rep
18:33
used to be Dale King.
18:35
He is definitely an affiliate owner.
18:37
And then it turned into
18:38
Andrew Charlesworth.
18:41
Andrew says Chase sold it last year.
18:42
I do think I remember Chase
18:45
selling his gym.
18:50
But he was.
18:52
So yeah, I don't know.
18:53
I mean,
18:53
I guess you do want current box
18:55
owners who aren't
18:56
necessarily in CrossFit's
18:59
back pocket speaking up,
19:01
maybe getting different
19:03
communication so yeah okay
19:08
all right I stand corrected
19:10
that's why we have a great
19:11
chat that can help us fill
19:14
in the spaces and help us
19:16
understand better that's
19:18
why you guys are the best
19:22
So I talked about this a
19:24
little bit on the Monday show,
19:26
but this is something you
19:27
and I have talked about a ton.
19:30
So I wanted to bring it up
19:31
here and get your, uh,
19:36
and Corey really wanted to be picked.
19:38
I guess.
19:39
Corey, do you own an affiliate?
19:42
No.
19:45
I think that's the key
19:47
qualification that you're missing here,
19:48
buddy.
19:53
um so the online judging
19:56
team yes there was an
19:59
announcement uh barbell
20:01
spin broke the news that
20:03
there you could become an
20:04
online judge duplicative is
20:07
a word jody it is I feel
20:15
like I think you're
20:16
thinking duplicitous no I don't know okay
20:22
It's all in legal stuff when
20:23
I was doing research.
20:28
He goes to an affiliate.
20:32
He's overqualified.
20:34
So anyway, judging.
20:36
They are putting together a
20:37
team to do online judging
20:40
of team quarterfinals,
20:42
individual quarterfinals,
20:43
age group quarterfinals,
20:45
age group semifinals.
20:49
Those are all the things
20:49
that we wanted online
20:51
judging to help with.
20:54
Yeah.
20:57
And they're going to pay
20:58
these judges to help them
21:01
do some of the online judging.
21:03
The only requirement is that
21:05
you pass the 2024 CrossFit Judges course.
21:09
However,
21:10
having a current CrossFit Level 1
21:12
certificate is highly recommended.
21:14
Okay.
21:15
Those who are accepted into
21:16
online review team will be
21:18
asked to review the video
21:19
submissions from April 5th
21:22
all the way through May 19th.
21:29
Sorry, I had to sneeze.
21:33
So your thoughts?
21:38
I mean...
21:41
I still don't understand why
21:42
they don't just have it open sourced.
21:51
It's a step.
21:53
Sure.
21:54
But like, I don't know.
22:00
Yeah.
22:00
I don't,
22:11
Are you going to read us the definition?
22:13
I was just putting it up
22:14
there for everybody to see.
22:16
Duplicative.
22:17
Adjective.
22:18
Involving duplication,
22:20
especially unnecessary
22:22
repetition of effort or resources.
22:26
Done the same way more than once.
22:28
Effectively identical.
22:32
Duplicative.
22:33
Makes sense.
22:34
Like duplicating.
22:37
Got it.
22:41
Andrew,
22:41
they did not mention the open or
22:43
quarters.
22:44
Yes, quarters.
22:47
They did mention quarters.
22:48
Yeah.
22:49
Not the open.
22:51
I don't think they're going
22:52
to do anything about the open.
22:53
They're just going to let
22:55
the chips fall where they may.
23:02
Love you too, Jody.
23:04
Always keeping me in check.
23:08
I would bet...
23:10
Pretty good money that they
23:11
probably won't pick Hiller.
23:13
Oh, they will not pick Hiller.
23:16
I mean, really?
23:21
I wonder how many people
23:24
they didn't even say.
23:27
So my question to you is,
23:30
will they be able to say,
23:34
we have staffing issues and
23:35
can't get to them?
23:38
Right, right.
23:40
That excuse should be out the window now,
23:41
right?
23:44
It should be.
23:48
Andrew, that's what I,
23:50
you can't open source
23:51
quarters and summits.
23:52
They should allow the public
23:53
to thumbs up or down open videos.
23:55
That, yes.
23:58
I think they should allow
24:00
the public to thumbs up or
24:01
thumbs down all videos, all stages.
24:06
It's a blind leaderboard is
24:08
what he's getting at.
24:10
And if you put the videos out there,
24:11
it's no longer blind.
24:16
Yeah,
24:16
but they're not finalizing the
24:18
leaderboard the day it unlocks anyway.
24:22
Right, but if I'm athlete A,
24:25
I can go out and search B, C, D,
24:27
and E and see how they did.
24:29
Yeah, sure.
24:31
And then I can redo the
24:32
workout if I want to.
24:34
Yeah,
24:34
if you want to spend that much time
24:36
and that much obsessing over trying to
24:39
think about everyone in your
24:40
bracket and search videos forums, I guess,
24:44
spend that energy.
24:46
I mean, my videos have,
24:48
people could have done that
24:49
to me all along.
24:50
My videos are always up.
24:53
Right.
24:53
But that's your choice.
24:54
It's a blind leaderboard.
24:55
Right.
24:57
I know.
24:58
Choose that.
24:59
They don't want that.
25:02
Then you would make them that choice.
25:07
Who is going to seriously
25:09
take the time to go search
25:10
every athlete's name and
25:11
see if they have videos out?
25:15
Come on.
25:17
Then they probably won't
25:18
post it or they'll post it
25:20
private or whatever until the day.
25:22
If you cared that much,
25:23
you would keep your video private.
25:29
It can stay a blind until,
25:32
until the final day and then open it up.
25:35
And that's when videos are
25:36
there for review.
25:38
And everyone will just
25:39
realize that it's going to
25:40
take an extra week.
25:44
This is a quote from Andrew Hiller,
25:45
according to WAD Zombie.
25:50
I'm just kidding.
25:56
I don't know.
25:58
This is true.
25:59
Hopin and Brian Friend would.
26:00
Yeah.
26:01
Power the videos and put
26:02
together their own leaderboard.
26:05
Yeah, they probably would.
26:08
Yeah.
26:09
So, or our own Holly,
26:11
I'm sure she would do that
26:12
in her spare time.
26:16
You keep her busy enough.
26:17
I don't know if she'd have
26:18
spare time to search for
26:19
all kinds of people's later videos.
26:25
It's at least a step.
26:27
It's a step in the right direction.
26:31
And that the judges get paid
26:33
is really cool.
26:34
Yeah, that's awesome.
26:36
They're going to get so many requests.
26:39
I mean.
26:44
Did our guy get selected?
26:48
I think he's just.
26:50
Oh, yeah.
26:51
Do you already know you're selected?
26:54
How quickly are they coming that up?
26:57
uh holly says don't tempt me
27:01
with a good time and her
27:03
definition of a good time
27:04
in mind are very different
27:07
uh andrew says yes he's
27:09
been selected I would I
27:10
would think almost all of
27:11
like the regular judging
27:13
people would just be in if they applied.
27:17
And that's where,
27:18
that's where I'm wondering how many,
27:20
how many people are they even taking?
27:21
Like they should have just said, we,
27:23
you know, we only need a handful more.
27:25
They're going to get
27:25
thousands of applicants and
27:27
they're going to take like 10.
27:29
So Sarah, I agree with you.
27:31
The open doesn't matter.
27:33
Hiding a video in the open is stupid.
27:35
That should be open sourced.
27:37
It does matter in quarterfinals this year.
27:40
With the cut down to 80
27:42
athletes in North America
27:45
and 40 athletes in Europe,
27:47
it is a huge deal.
27:50
And there are people that
27:51
are going to try to game it
27:53
and people that will want
27:54
to block the gaming at the
27:55
quarterfinal level.
28:05
I did not.
28:07
I have hung up my judging
28:09
stopwatch for good.
28:15
I'm too busy with media.
28:16
That's true.
28:18
Ain't got time for that.
28:19
Nope.
28:23
But I applaud all those who, who, uh,
28:30
It was an open invitation.
28:32
There was a link.
28:32
I like, I could have signed up Andrew.
28:35
It was an open invitation.
28:40
So I wanted to briefly talk
28:42
about mic'd up athletes.
28:44
Okay.
28:44
So yesterday Savon released, uh,
28:48
the mic'd up athletes from the team,
28:52
part of water Palooza.
28:53
Okay.
28:55
I think there is something there.
28:58
Oh, it's going to be great.
28:59
I'm so excited to see that.
29:02
The disappointing part is
29:04
the weather affected it too, right?
29:06
Okay.
29:07
You're not going to wear
29:08
mics in a torrential
29:09
downpour or a swim event.
29:13
Right.
29:14
So it limits how much it
29:16
could actually be used.
29:19
But there is at this point
29:21
an authenticity that you don't get –
29:26
There's nothing just you get
29:28
because nobody's asking
29:29
them the questions.
29:31
They're just talking.
29:32
Yeah.
29:33
Right.
29:33
And they're talking with
29:34
other athletes and they're
29:35
talking with other coaches.
29:39
And so it made it.
29:41
very genuine.
29:43
And there is a part where they might Mike,
29:46
the popper on the 5k run.
29:49
And they just kind of animated the run,
29:51
like where they were on the spot.
29:53
And you would hear,
29:54
you didn't see him say anything,
29:56
but you heard what he said
29:58
and where he kind of was at on the trail.
29:59
Okay.
30:00
And they would put like a head,
30:02
like he kept saying, I got to,
30:04
I got to track down Noah.
30:06
I got to track down Noah.
30:07
And they'd have like a
30:08
little Noah head ahead of
30:09
him on the track.
30:11
Right.
30:12
Like I just passed Tola and he would pass.
30:16
And I thought that was like
30:17
freaking amazing.
30:18
That's awesome.
30:20
Shoot.
30:20
That's the only coverage we
30:21
have from that event.
30:22
Right.
30:23
The animated heads running on the trail.
30:26
Um,
30:26
and I do think that there is definitely
30:31
something to this that
30:32
needs to be captured more.
30:34
Yeah.
30:34
It's just a shame that it rains so much.
30:40
Um,
30:42
So like in the rain one,
30:44
they did get some
30:45
commentary after and then
30:47
went and as they were
30:48
commentating on it afterwards,
30:50
showed clips of how it was
30:51
happening on the floor.
30:53
Like Ricky having no grip on the doll,
30:56
dollamer mat and slipping
30:58
and sliding on the wall walks.
31:01
Like it was, it's really good.
31:03
It's really good.
31:06
I would almost put it above
31:08
behind the scenes because
31:11
I could see that.
31:13
When do us normies get to see it?
31:15
One week?
31:16
One week out?
31:18
Not a clue.
31:19
All right.
31:21
I'll stand by.
31:24
But it does appear that it
31:25
took the place of a
31:27
behind-the-scenes release yesterday.
31:32
I'm excited to hear the cold one.
31:36
Yeah, that one will be good.
31:37
Well, maybe.
31:38
I don't know.
31:38
He's not a talker.
31:39
So how much is he going to talk?
31:43
I don't know.
31:44
He seems to be talking a
31:45
whole lot more now than he ever did.
31:47
One week.
31:51
One week for normies, Jamie.
31:52
Okay.
31:54
I'll sit and wait.
31:55
I'll patiently wait for it.
31:58
Well, speaking of Colton,
32:00
we talked about him joining Proven.
32:03
But I found out his coach is Joey Tutoro.
32:06
Yeah.
32:06
That's not what I thought he
32:08
was going there.
32:08
I mean,
32:08
I thought he was going there
32:09
because he liked Taylor's husband.
32:14
Yeah, I thought so too.
32:19
Carolyn says, yeah,
32:21
he seems way more outspoken
32:22
than he used to be.
32:27
Joey Tutoro is from Columbus, Ohio.
32:29
Okay.
32:30
He owned CrossFit Grandview,
32:33
which was Bill Henniger's gym,
32:34
original gym that he sold
32:37
to Joey and Graham Holmberg.
32:41
And then Graham split off
32:43
and Joey owned it for a while.
32:45
He then, his wife is a doctor,
32:48
so he moved to Philadelphia
32:49
for her and was on Team OBX
32:52
the last couple seasons
32:55
with Kelsey Keel and Amia Lumberg,
32:59
Ashley Wozni the year before that.
33:02
So I think it's a great fit.
33:07
He is...
33:08
He was a smaller athlete his
33:09
entire career.
33:11
Not like short, like Colton.
33:17
Not that Joey's tall, but not short,
33:20
but he was like smaller, like you.
33:23
Like a spieler?
33:27
No, gosh.
33:30
Just slighter built.
33:32
Like strength is not his strength.
33:35
Yeah,
33:35
so kind of like spieler or just not
33:37
that small.
33:39
Not that small.
33:40
Okay.
33:40
No.
33:42
Um,
33:43
but he had to overcome a lot to get to
33:44
where he got to.
33:45
So I think he understands
33:47
Colton and I think it's
33:48
going to be a great fit and
33:49
I'm super excited for it.
33:53
Yeah.
33:53
I mean, I will be curious to see,
33:56
I don't know Colton like well at all.
34:01
So I've not like no ideas.
34:03
He had type a personality.
34:05
Is he, is he super like controlling like,
34:09
I'm curious.
34:11
And when you've done this
34:11
for so long yourself,
34:14
it's going to be really
34:15
hard to hand over that
34:16
control and trust in
34:17
somebody else that they're
34:18
going to get it right.
34:19
And like, I mean,
34:21
is he going to train and
34:23
then go out with pigs all
34:24
day and then be like in his mind,
34:27
just like, I didn't do this.
34:28
I should have done this.
34:29
I need to go.
34:29
Like, is he going to,
34:31
is he going to be able to
34:32
just let it go and trust somebody?
34:33
And,
34:34
and cause that's the whole point is to
34:35
take his mind off of some
34:37
of that stuff and stress and, and,
34:40
So I think that knowing Joey,
34:43
that it'll be more collaborative.
34:46
Okay.
34:48
Like, I don't, I don't view Joey as a,
34:51
this is your,
34:52
what you're doing and you better do it.
34:54
Yeah.
34:55
It's going to be more of a
34:57
collaborative kind of build.
35:01
I mean,
35:02
and Colton's been doing something right.
35:04
Right.
35:04
Like, right.
35:10
I'm very curious to see.
35:13
Sometimes it's helpful to have somebody,
35:14
someone's outside perspective and be like,
35:16
you know,
35:17
let's focus on this for a bit or
35:19
try this.
35:20
Maybe something different
35:20
that you don't necessarily think of.
35:23
Well,
35:24
he said he's been doing Kilo 2
35:26
programming.
35:27
I know.
35:28
And it's just not at a level
35:30
that he needs right now.
35:31
Right.
35:32
So I think it's more than just...
35:35
I don't, yeah.
35:36
I think he just needs
35:37
someone helping him with
35:39
some of the light lifting
35:41
of like programming the week out,
35:44
doing those types of things
35:45
and taking that off his shoulders.
35:47
Yeah.
35:49
Well, good for him.
35:52
Does this Joey guy have other athletes?
35:55
So he competed last year at the games.
35:57
Okay.
35:58
On OBX.
36:00
So I think he just moved to Proven.
36:04
Now, he was an individual athlete,
36:07
like early teams,
36:09
and then has been primarily
36:10
a team competitor since
36:13
then with CrossFit
36:15
Grandview for many years,
36:16
and then OBX when he moved to Philly.
36:20
But he's always been the
36:22
captain of the teams.
36:27
And my guess is he's been
36:28
the one doing the
36:29
programming for the team.
36:32
So I think that got his feet wet.
36:34
Plus he owned an affiliate free ever.
36:36
Yeah.
36:39
So, um, but yeah,
36:41
I didn't even know he moved to proven.
36:43
I'm reaching out to some of
36:44
the people there to kind of
36:46
get an update as to what's going on,
36:48
have them on the show,
36:50
talk about their new facility.
36:51
That would be awesome.
36:52
Yeah.
36:56
Speaking of guests coming up,
36:58
just checking real quick,
36:59
see if I got... It looks
37:01
like we're going to have
37:06
Adrian Bosman on Monday morning.
37:11
Don't quote me yet.
37:13
look for it.
37:15
We're,
37:15
we're just trying to iron out a time.
37:17
I think we have it.
37:18
I just need Adrian's thumbs
37:20
up and then I'll get the
37:21
thumbnail made and put up,
37:23
but we should have Boz on
37:24
the show Monday morning ish.
37:30
So I want you to talk about, and you,
37:32
you can do it in a,
37:33
in a way that doesn't
37:35
disclose the competition, but you, um,
37:42
but you reached out to a
37:44
competition and asked them
37:46
the prize purse question,
37:48
because we talked about
37:49
legends forever that, well,
37:52
they didn't say there was a prize purse.
37:54
And then, so you,
37:55
before signing up for this competition,
37:58
ask the question.
38:00
Yeah.
38:01
I mean, that, that is my biggest thing.
38:03
Like,
38:05
I was really frustrated with
38:07
some of the commentary back
38:09
about the legends, people saying, well,
38:12
they never said there was a prize purse.
38:15
So that got me thinking,
38:17
how often is it published?
38:19
I feel like other than like
38:20
Wadapalooza and the games,
38:22
you don't really see the number.
38:24
You just know that they pay
38:26
because they've always paid.
38:27
And so I'm like, well, what is the...
38:31
what, I mean,
38:32
especially when there's a lot
38:32
of different divisions, you know,
38:34
when you have an RX masters, team,
38:37
team masters, you know,
38:40
like literally like 10
38:41
different categories, like I,
38:44
I can't imagine you're
38:45
paying for every category.
38:47
Um, so like, is there really any prizes?
38:51
Um, and like just browsing,
38:53
looking for any type of
38:56
hint at like what the podium
38:58
prizes might be or what
38:59
divisions are even gonna
39:00
get anything um and there
39:02
was like literally nothing
39:04
I could find anywhere um
39:06
you look at like last pic
39:07
last year's pictures you
39:08
see some stuff um like you
39:11
see a barbell in people's
39:12
hands cool like that's not
39:15
nothing I mean and and I
39:17
totally get it they may not
39:18
these comps may not always
39:19
have stuff ironed out but
39:21
like I just feel like
39:25
You can't tell us that they
39:29
didn't say that there was a prize purse,
39:31
so you shouldn't have expected one.
39:35
And then, on the other hand,
39:37
these comps also can't
39:40
drill down their... They're
39:43
waiting probably for...
39:46
people to sign up see who's
39:47
coming then maybe they get
39:48
other sponsors and or maybe
39:49
more money because
39:50
so-and-so is coming um and
39:53
so like they don't want to
39:54
put in writing exactly what
39:55
it is because and this kind
39:57
of it sounds like they want
39:58
to do as much as they can
39:59
and so they're they're
40:00
trying their hardest to
40:01
keep growing it and keep
40:02
getting more money and
40:03
making the prize purse
40:04
bigger um but you know they
40:06
were really they were like
40:07
basically to me it sounds
40:09
like just elite which is
40:10
totally fine I just wish
40:11
that that was published
40:11
somewhere just say elite gets paid
40:15
t tbd whatever it is elite
40:17
will be paid amount to be
40:20
determined closer to the
40:21
bracket um and then that
40:23
way like masters know that
40:24
there's no prize purse t
40:27
and I'm I'm actually
40:28
curious at this one if
40:28
teams get paid like I have
40:30
no idea on that either um
40:33
but I just feel like if you
40:34
if you think you're going
40:35
to put together a prize
40:36
purse if there's going to
40:36
be some swag like
40:38
You've got a Yeti cooler bag
40:40
and shoes or a barbell or, like,
40:43
write that stuff.
40:43
Like, some of that stuff, like,
40:45
my gym could use a barbell
40:46
if I have a shot at something like that.
40:47
It could be enticing if it's
40:50
a close enough comp.
40:52
So, yeah, it's just – it's super –
40:55
Yes, Denise.
40:56
We've always gotten paid at Legends.
40:58
It's never been advertised.
40:59
It was obviously assumed
41:02
from all of us athletes who
41:04
have been going to Legends
41:06
that there would continue
41:07
to be a prize purse.
41:09
And so, yeah, I don't know.
41:13
Well, one thing I just want to clear up.
41:14
You reached out to a competition,
41:16
asked if there was a prize purse.
41:18
They said yes, depending on the division.
41:23
Yep.
41:24
That's what I said.
41:24
Yes.
41:25
Yes.
41:25
Depending on the division,
41:26
I think was their response,
41:29
but they never confirmed
41:30
what it was or what divisions.
41:34
Correct.
41:35
Correct.
41:35
So they did respond.
41:36
And I don't know if you've seen it.
41:37
They did respond back when I, when I said,
41:40
I basically wrote back and was just like,
41:43
I didn't say, you know,
41:45
masters have been screwed in the past.
41:47
I'm just trying to make a clarification.
41:48
They knew who I was clear,
41:50
like clearly with their response.
41:51
Um,
41:52
And they were like, I get it.
41:54
I get you want to know.
41:56
We don't know, basically,
41:57
is what they said.
41:58
And they made it clear that
42:00
the master's prize is the
42:05
entry fee to Legends.
42:11
And I get that.
42:12
And that's fine.
42:13
And I'm sure there's people
42:15
that want to go to this
42:16
comp to get that place.
42:19
and paid for that's, that's a good price.
42:23
Um, I don't, at this point,
42:25
I don't want to go back to, like,
42:27
I don't want to go there
42:27
and earn a spot to legends
42:29
to probably not get paid again.
42:31
Like, you know, like that's not even,
42:34
that's, that's just not where I'm at.
42:36
Like, um, so yeah,
42:39
But they did.
42:39
They responded to me very kindly, very,
42:42
very thorough.
42:42
It was probably like a
42:44
three-paragraph response.
42:45
It was a great response.
42:47
I totally got where they're coming from.
42:48
They totally got where I'm coming from.
42:50
I just think there should be
42:53
some level of communication.
42:54
Just say that in your communication.
42:57
Masters are getting the entry fee.
43:01
Elites will be paid TBD and
43:03
general swag for all of our other
43:07
Or, or,
43:08
or intermediate gets nothing or
43:09
whatever it is.
43:10
I mean, just make it clear.
43:18
Denise Moore says,
43:20
I was quite surprised that
43:21
last year's legends,
43:22
that individuals got nothing yet.
43:25
The teams in our X divisions
43:26
got backpacks.
43:31
That's Denise.
43:32
That's what had me like
43:33
thinking for sure we were
43:34
getting something is
43:35
because I did know that
43:36
teams and scaled or whoever
43:38
was there got some stuff, like got a bag,
43:42
got some swag stuff.
43:43
Like, and I was like, oh,
43:44
well they got something.
43:46
And so I was like, well,
43:47
we'll for sure get something.
43:48
We're not going to be like
43:49
the empty handed ones.
43:51
So I don't know.
43:52
I was, I was very, very surprised.
43:56
So still two TBD on the
43:59
prizes for masters at different comps.
44:01
We'll have to see how that
44:03
plays out over the upcoming season.
44:05
I just don't know how any
44:08
athletes are deciding where,
44:11
where to go if they don't
44:14
know like what they're going for,
44:16
like what they're aiming for.
44:20
I'm with you.
44:20
I'm in your corner.
44:27
So yesterday, yeah,
44:32
on Coffee Pods and Wads
44:34
game show around the whiteboard,
44:36
John Young was a contestant.
44:38
He said something on there
44:40
that blew me away as a way
44:43
for events to make money.
44:45
And what it was was that you
44:49
sell merchandise for the
44:51
event that people might want to have.
44:56
So do like other sports do like the NFL,
45:00
how,
45:01
like if you're not playing and you're
45:02
on the sidelines,
45:03
you're outfitted in
45:05
different gear from that
45:06
team that you can is
45:08
available for sale on the
45:10
website to get immediately.
45:14
Make it so that when you check in,
45:16
you have to be wearing the shirt.
45:20
From the competition.
45:21
So that all those videos
45:23
going out shows that
45:27
merchandise being worn by the athletes.
45:32
And then it will make it a
45:34
hotter item that people
45:38
will want to have because
45:39
they saw Emily Roth wear it
45:42
or they saw Jeff Adler wear
45:44
it or whatever.
45:47
And I thought it was brilliant.
45:49
So lightweight.
45:52
Kind of like if Rogue were
45:53
to put their baseball
45:55
jerseys on sale or their Crocs.
45:57
Well, they did put their Crocs on sale,
45:58
right?
45:59
But put them on sale
46:00
beforehand so you can also
46:02
show up with the same gear.
46:05
Yeah, exactly.
46:06
And maybe market it a little
46:07
bit before the event.
46:10
Be prepared for it.
46:11
Yeah.
46:13
Right?
46:14
So market it like, hey,
46:15
if you're coming to Wadapalooza,
46:17
here's our official Wadapalooza shirt.
46:19
Get it now to
46:23
So you could be sporting the
46:25
official water Palooza
46:26
shirt as you're walking in.
46:27
I think the Jersey sales
46:29
they tried to do last year
46:32
would have been really cool.
46:33
Except for like when I, the two I ordered,
46:35
I got four months after water Palooza.
46:39
Ooh, that's not good.
46:41
So I think rogue is a great example.
46:44
Those baseball jerseys just, you know, the,
46:47
the athletes get them with
46:48
their names on the back,
46:49
but you get it to just says
46:51
rogue on the back.
46:55
Like they do that in college
46:56
football where like, I don't know,
47:03
Kirk Cousins is playing for
47:04
Michigan state and you're a
47:05
big Kirk Cousins fan and
47:08
he's number eight.
47:09
I don't even know what his
47:09
number was up there.
47:11
Um,
47:11
but you got one that said Michigan
47:13
state on the back with a number eight.
47:15
Yeah.
47:17
Right.
47:18
But the same Jersey.
47:21
So trying to make it relatable.
47:26
Um, so anyway,
47:28
I thought that was really cool,
47:29
but then the owner of go
47:31
wad and Vicky from
47:34
Australia kind of poo pooed his idea.
47:37
And while it may not be the
47:38
game changer that saves the world,
47:41
it's thinking outside the
47:42
box from what we've been doing.
47:45
And I think he deserves credit for that.
47:48
What didn't they like about the idea?
47:50
I think they just didn't
47:51
think it was make would
47:52
make enough money.
47:58
Kenneth,
47:58
the tier jerseys that you're referencing,
48:01
that's what I got four
48:02
months after the event.
48:06
So tier was the title
48:09
sponsor last year at Wadapalooza too?
48:13
So see the Emily Rolfe jersey?
48:16
Yeah.
48:17
That's the tier Wadapalooza jersey.
48:21
I just got it four months
48:22
after Wadapalooza.
48:25
Yeah, that sucks.
48:29
so I i just wanted to give
48:31
john young credit I thought
48:32
that was very out of the
48:33
box thinking for how to
48:35
like make some money with
48:36
merchandise for an event I
48:41
see carolyn carolyn saying
48:43
the question on the show
48:44
was whether crossfit could
48:45
do it without sponsors it
48:47
was a crossfit events
48:52
CrossFit putting an event on
48:53
and not get in that,
48:55
like not CrossFit the entity,
48:58
but it could be what a Palooza rogue.
49:02
Okay.
49:03
Could events survive without sponsorships,
49:07
but it dove off a little
49:08
bit in the answers.
49:11
And regardless of this was
49:12
to make it survive,
49:14
it was a great idea to make
49:17
a little more money on
49:18
merchandise than you typically would.
49:23
The other thing though,
49:23
I don't know is if tears
49:26
are kind of sponsored,
49:27
do they get all the money?
49:30
Right.
49:32
I don't know,
49:33
but maybe that can be negotiated in.
49:35
I mean, I would assume that if tear bet,
49:41
put up a number,
49:42
if they want to donate 500,000 and they,
49:47
sell a hundred thousand
49:48
dollars worth of shirts
49:50
then they really only have
49:50
to put up four hundred
49:51
thousand I guess I don't
49:52
know how that would look I
49:57
think holly sums it up for
49:59
me it would make some money
50:01
and get some extra
50:01
attention at least yeah not
50:04
you know because you're
50:06
gonna sell them out so it's
50:08
not like any extra cost to you
50:12
you put up in a couple of IG ads saying,
50:14
Hey, check out these shirts.
50:16
They're going to be at the event.
50:21
Yeah.
50:22
I mean,
50:22
you could almost do it as a presale
50:25
only essentially.
50:26
And whatever gets,
50:28
whatever gets sold gets
50:30
made and that's it.
50:31
And then you don't make,
50:33
you don't make a bunch and
50:34
you don't bring them to the event.
50:35
You don't have to have a vendor there.
50:36
You don't have to have all
50:39
those supplies there.
50:40
Like,
50:42
Do it.
50:43
Just put it out there.
50:44
Sell what you can.
50:45
And sometimes that... Okay.
50:50
We're going to dive into an ugly hole.
50:52
Okay.
50:54
So Carolyn says,
50:55
I still don't know why T or
50:56
CrossFit Noble don't have
50:57
shirts with athletes' names
50:59
on them on their site.
51:00
Athletes get a kickback too.
51:03
What really baffles my mind
51:06
is when you go to the Rogue Invitational,
51:09
Rogue...
51:11
doesn't have all their
51:12
shirts made and out on
51:14
display you can get them
51:17
made fresh right there they
51:20
have a press that makes the
51:22
shirt at Rogue it's done in
51:25
like 30 seconds
51:28
you get your shirt and you get to move on.
51:31
Why can't you have the prints of,
51:36
of athletes and you're only
51:39
putting it on the shirt
51:41
that someone wants.
51:43
You're making it right then
51:44
and there 30 seconds done, boom,
51:48
hand it to him, sell it.
51:49
And you're only using up the
51:50
shirts that are being sold.
51:53
Right.
51:55
And the only thing you might
51:56
be out of is a couple of
51:57
screen prints that
51:59
That didn't get used.
52:03
So I don't know why that doesn't happen.
52:05
Why it took four months for
52:06
me to get shirts after
52:08
Waterpalooza when I ordered
52:09
them two months before.
52:12
It should not take six
52:12
months to get a shirt.
52:15
It should not.
52:19
We are well aware we've got
52:21
people in this game, in the shirt game,
52:24
that will do shirts and on
52:26
time and I don't know.
52:28
Everybody wears, if you follow sports,
52:31
you wear jerseys.
52:34
I agree with Carolyn.
52:35
They should be on the game
52:36
site all year round with
52:38
athletes' name on them.
52:40
I agree.
52:43
Maybe Go Ruck will, I don't know,
52:45
maybe Go Ruck will pick up
52:46
on something like that.
52:47
I don't,
52:48
that never seemed to be Noble's thing.
52:50
Like, they had their eight athletes that
52:56
they wanted to showcase and that was it.
52:57
I don't think they were ever
52:58
going to pick up other athletes.
53:00
I think you probably could get their,
53:03
their eight athletes stuff all the time.
53:08
Rad had a handheld printer
53:11
at Wadapalooza to do your
53:12
own tote bag with.
53:13
Yeah.
53:19
It's not hard people.
53:22
It sounds like it makes too much sense.
53:28
Yeah, I don't know.
53:30
We'll have to, you know,
53:32
keep pushing it on a go rock,
53:34
maybe come up with something like that.
53:37
So now that I've praised
53:38
John Young for his great idea,
53:41
we're going to talk about
53:42
what else he did last night.
53:44
Just briefly.
53:45
Okay.
53:48
And that is his infatuation
53:50
with topography.
53:51
Okay.
53:56
And if you're going to
53:56
challenge me on that word,
53:58
No, I got the word.
54:00
Okay.
54:01
Talking to Judy or whoever's
54:03
going to try to call me out.
54:05
So he loves his mountains.
54:08
He loves his base camps.
54:10
He loves his canyons.
54:12
He loves his cliffs.
54:14
So we're going to talk
54:15
briefly about Comeback Canyon.
54:16
Okay.
54:18
And I'm going to try to share my screen.
54:22
And I don't want to, it was a great idea.
54:25
He generates so much interest on this.
54:27
Yeah.
54:28
You know, I applaud him for that.
54:30
And it gives us something to talk about.
54:33
So I screenshot come back Canyon.
54:36
It's beautiful.
54:40
So what this is supposed to represent is.
54:45
It's people who can climb
54:46
their way up out of the canyon.
54:49
The further down the canyon they are,
54:51
the higher,
54:52
the harder the climb is supposed to be.
54:53
I don't know.
54:57
I'm not even going to talk
54:58
about Luka Jukic because I
55:00
didn't understand what he
55:01
was talking about him being up there.
55:03
I don't understand why he's on this thing.
55:06
And his explanation made no
55:07
sense to me about that.
55:11
But
55:13
I did want to point out,
55:14
he said that Ricky Garrard
55:16
was the tallest because he
55:18
got hurt last year, didn't make the games,
55:21
and he's going to go from
55:22
not making it to possibly
55:26
podiuming or winning the CrossFit Games.
55:29
So that's the biggest comeback.
55:31
That's why he's at the
55:32
bottom of the canyon,
55:34
and it would be the biggest comeback.
55:36
His definition,
55:38
just telling you what he said.
55:39
Okay.
55:39
Okay.
55:41
But my immediate point was, well,
55:43
why wouldn't Tia be right
55:45
there beside him?
55:47
Totally agree.
55:48
She didn't make the games last year.
55:50
She sure as hell has as much
55:52
a chance to win the
55:54
CrossFit Games as Ricky Garrard does.
55:57
And to me, that's just as big a comeback.
56:00
Yes.
56:01
She should be number one.
56:06
My other point to this is
56:08
there needs to be a place
56:09
for Saxon Pancheck.
56:11
If Brooks on their Saxon
56:12
should be on there.
56:14
He got hurt at semifinals.
56:17
Yeah.
56:17
And did not make it back to
56:21
the games last year.
56:22
He is a perennial top 10 athlete.
56:26
There is no reason to think he,
56:28
he's still mid twenties.
56:30
There's no reason to think
56:31
he can't climb up out of
56:32
that and be back in a top
56:35
10 position next year.
56:36
I agree.
56:38
So I,
56:39
Two big misses on my opinion.
56:43
The other one is Jacqueline Dahlstrom.
56:47
She has shown nothing that
56:50
tells me she's going to
56:51
make it back to the games.
56:55
Her off-season comps,
56:56
and I love Jacqueline.
56:58
She's been on the show like
56:59
two or three times.
57:01
She's awesome.
57:02
Always talk to her at events,
57:04
but her performance at
57:06
Dubai was not great.
57:09
She did not just barely miss
57:11
going to the games at the
57:13
European semifinals.
57:14
She was like 18th.
57:15
Yeah.
57:19
So for her to be up there
57:21
that it's just a small comeback,
57:25
not sure about that.
57:28
Yeah, there's a few on here.
57:29
I agree with Luca.
57:31
We talked about that a little bit.
57:33
And Ken says swap out Luca for Fusile.
57:36
I could see that.
57:38
I'd like that swap.
57:41
If you put Fusil, yeah.
57:44
I'd like to see Annika somewhere on here.
57:47
Well,
57:48
she's not coming back from anything
57:49
because she never made it.
57:51
Gotcha.
57:52
Oh, he's trying.
57:52
Okay, he's saying past games athletes.
57:54
Gotcha.
57:55
But I would swap out Rebecca
57:57
for Dahlstrom.
57:58
Yeah.
57:58
Mm-hmm.
58:09
Yeah, I don't know.
58:10
There's some interesting picks here.
58:14
So there's that.
58:16
I then wanted to go to his cliff.
58:21
There we go.
58:23
How is Spiegel in the canyon
58:25
and on the cliff?
58:26
I don't get it.
58:27
So his explanation was
58:30
that he could easily see her
58:32
make it back to the games
58:34
and be on the comeback Canyon.
58:36
He could just as easily see
58:37
her not make the games and
58:39
then decide that her
58:40
CrossFit career is over.
58:44
Okay.
58:45
So, and so the Canyon is you're done.
58:48
You're out and can't be, I mean,
58:49
there's people are not done.
58:51
And is that you're going to come back.
58:53
The cliff is your careers.
58:55
You're going to drop.
58:58
And again,
58:59
John's explanation.
59:04
So it's his picks.
59:07
It doesn't make sense.
59:08
Okay,
59:08
so he thinks Ariel is going to drop
59:11
from her position,
59:13
not be out of the games,
59:15
but he's saying Spiegel's
59:16
down here because she's
59:18
done and her career is just over.
59:19
Those are two very separate
59:21
levels of... Very much.
59:24
And I think he separated them as like,
59:28
The three on the left.
59:30
But he said,
59:30
I think he even said
59:31
Kerstetter wouldn't make the games.
59:34
Okay.
59:35
That he was not impressed
59:36
with her Wadapalooza performance.
59:39
It's the offseason.
59:41
Yeah.
59:41
A lot can change in three months.
59:51
Ariel won't get third again.
59:53
I'm not going to counter out on anything.
59:55
You just never know with
59:56
programming what it's going to be.
59:59
Right.
1:00:00
So, but just dropping a place,
1:00:03
I don't think should put you on a cliff.
1:00:06
Yeah.
1:00:06
Even dropping like five, six places.
1:00:08
Like, I mean, I don't, yeah, that's not a,
1:00:12
that's not a cliff.
1:00:14
Like you aren't just
1:00:14
dropping off the face of this mountain.
1:00:18
A clock says,
1:00:19
didn't he say that a Spiegel
1:00:20
misses this year?
1:00:21
She's never getting back.
1:00:22
She fell off the cliff and is done.
1:00:26
I think he said that in a
1:00:27
way that also said that she
1:00:31
would make that choice not
1:00:32
to compete again.
1:00:34
Like, that she didn't need all this mess.
1:00:36
She'll go do her other stuff
1:00:39
and leave this behind.
1:00:43
Ariel is very well-rounded.
1:00:46
I agree.
1:00:47
I don't think Ariel should
1:00:48
be on this list.
1:00:50
I will tell you who should
1:00:51
be on this list.
1:00:52
And I hate being negative,
1:00:54
but Jamie Simmons...
1:00:57
She can't get through an event anymore.
1:00:59
Right.
1:01:00
She just keeps getting hurt.
1:01:02
And it's not that she's not
1:01:03
a great athlete or wasn't a
1:01:04
great athlete.
1:01:06
Her body is just compromised now.
1:01:10
She tried to do an event
1:01:11
this weekend and could not finish.
1:01:16
Yep.
1:01:18
So I would substitute Jamie for Ariel.
1:01:27
The other one is Alex Caron,
1:01:30
I think should be on this
1:01:31
list more than Alex Vigneault.
1:01:36
Agree.
1:01:37
Alex Vigneault always comes
1:01:40
up with what he needs to
1:01:41
come up with to just be the
1:01:45
perennial games athlete.
1:01:47
I don't see him falling off from that.
1:01:49
I don't see him getting worse than that.
1:01:52
Caron's peck is not going to
1:01:53
let him compete.
1:01:55
Yeah, I think he's done.
1:01:58
And he's at a spot in his
1:02:00
career where it is probably
1:02:01
the end until he would
1:02:03
decide to go to Masters or something.
1:02:08
So I would replace Alex
1:02:10
Vigneault with Alex Caron.
1:02:15
The only explanation I could
1:02:16
see from John is that maybe
1:02:19
Caron is already off the cliff.
1:02:22
I could see that.
1:02:25
Nick Matthew,
1:02:26
everybody's picking on him
1:02:27
right now because he's just
1:02:29
posting heavyweights.
1:02:31
But it's the offseason.
1:02:34
Like, people aren't dialed in yet.
1:02:38
Yeah.
1:02:41
Let's see what he looks like.
1:02:44
I looked at a video of
1:02:47
either you or I
1:02:47
interviewing him at semis.
1:02:49
Like, dude's ripped.
1:02:50
Yeah.
1:02:54
This is January.
1:02:55
It doesn't matter till May.
1:03:00
Yeah.
1:03:01
I mean, you don't want them peaked now.
1:03:04
If they look too good now,
1:03:05
we may have a problem.
1:03:08
Yeah.
1:03:11
So just wanted to kind of go over that.
1:03:16
I do think what John is doing is fun.
1:03:18
The, it gives us something to talk about,
1:03:21
right?
1:03:21
Yeah.
1:03:25
Um, so I thank him for that.
1:03:28
Uh,
1:03:29
it's a very creative way of looking at
1:03:31
it too.
1:03:32
And my mouse is, there we go.
1:03:38
So the last thing I had on
1:03:39
my list was you're going
1:03:42
into the weekend with a
1:03:44
chance for your football
1:03:47
team to go to the super bowl.
1:03:50
I know a team.
1:03:53
the only nfc team to never
1:03:57
go to a super bowl and how
1:04:01
old are the lions old old
1:04:06
yeah they've been around
1:04:07
for all of the super bowls
1:04:09
yep yes and they've made
1:04:11
none of them yeah I know
1:04:14
and now they're standing on
1:04:15
the doorstep carolyn that's so mean
1:04:21
So what do you think your
1:04:22
chances are this weekend?
1:04:26
I'd like to think good.
1:04:27
Like, I mean, they, I don't know.
1:04:35
Like,
1:04:35
I know you just can't get your hopes
1:04:37
up too high as a Lions fan.
1:04:39
You just can't.
1:04:41
Like, is it what?
1:04:48
Oh, he is.
1:04:50
Aaron saying Laporte is out.
1:04:52
Like that's not good.
1:04:56
Breaking news from Aaron Latimer.
1:05:01
I thought he would.
1:05:02
I thought, I mean,
1:05:03
everything I keep reading
1:05:05
is like it hit the bone.
1:05:06
Bruce feels better each day.
1:05:08
He can pivot.
1:05:09
So I don't know.
1:05:10
I'll have to look for news on that.
1:05:11
They picked the,
1:05:14
one of the refs that they
1:05:15
picked is not good.
1:05:18
4-0.
1:05:19
It's not about the refs.
1:05:21
Yes, it is.
1:05:21
4-0 for the Niners.
1:05:23
1-5 for the Lions.
1:05:25
So, not good.
1:05:26
And we have a history with
1:05:27
refs just not in our favor.
1:05:31
But, yeah.
1:05:33
I think more importantly is
1:05:35
if Debo plays this weekend
1:05:38
for the Niners.
1:05:39
If not, I think you have a great chance.
1:05:42
Yeah.
1:05:45
When you bring up the refs,
1:05:50
I mean,
1:05:51
if anyone watched that reporting
1:05:54
call and you weren't a bit miffed,
1:06:00
I don't know what game you were watching.
1:06:03
Okay.
1:06:06
X's and O's.
1:06:07
I actually think the Lions have a shot.
1:06:10
I think they have a good shot.
1:06:12
I actually probably will pick them to win.
1:06:16
Yeah, throw 20 bucks on them.
1:06:21
But speaking of that and your excuses,
1:06:23
I brought this up on Monday.
1:06:27
You know,
1:06:27
we always rip the judges at
1:06:29
different events and I am a
1:06:31
really bad culprit about all that.
1:06:34
And after watching the NFL
1:06:38
this last weekend,
1:06:41
those refs get paid and they're terrible.
1:06:44
Yeah.
1:06:47
When I watch hockey,
1:06:49
I'm yelling at the TV.
1:06:50
Yeah.
1:06:52
When I'm watching baseball,
1:06:53
there's bad calls.
1:06:54
They have instant replay.
1:06:56
They get paid.
1:06:57
They are professionals.
1:07:00
The Andrew Stens of the
1:07:01
world are out there
1:07:02
volunteering their ass off,
1:07:05
and they're doing a pretty damn good job.
1:07:06
I agree.
1:07:09
So I think we should cheers
1:07:13
to the CrossFit judges for
1:07:16
what you do out there
1:07:19
Yeah.
1:07:21
And you're just as good as
1:07:22
every other professional sports league.
1:07:25
Yeah.
1:07:26
I saw a funny meme that was
1:07:29
basically said it's Eminem
1:07:30
versus Taylor Swift.
1:07:34
Well, not yet.
1:07:36
Well, if, if we get there, but yeah.
1:07:42
Yeah.
1:07:44
I don't think, I don't think the, uh,
1:07:49
I don't think the chiefs are making it.
1:07:51
You don't know.
1:07:55
Interesting.
1:07:57
I think, I think, you know,
1:07:58
some seasons you just have
1:08:00
these stories that line up.
1:08:02
Yeah.
1:08:03
And I think that it's one
1:08:04
Lamar Jackson gets to a super bowl.
1:08:08
to kind of show that he is
1:08:10
really a great quarterback
1:08:12
and to the lions make a run.
1:08:15
And maybe I watched way too much.
1:08:16
Welcome to Rexham, but like,
1:08:19
it just feels like the it's
1:08:22
the lines here.
1:08:23
It does feel that way.
1:08:26
Um, I don't know who they have time.
1:08:29
Show us.
1:08:30
Oh, sure.
1:08:33
Oh, interesting.
1:08:37
I can get down.
1:08:44
Yeah, it is.
1:08:44
It is their time.
1:08:45
It's much needed.
1:08:47
So,
1:08:47
and you can tell they're like fighting
1:08:51
for more than just
1:08:53
themselves and their team,
1:08:54
even like they're fighting for the city.
1:08:56
They're like, they clearly,
1:08:57
it's amazing to me.
1:08:58
Like they post the decibel
1:09:01
meter in the stands and,
1:09:03
and the other teams have
1:09:04
said that it's the loudest state.
1:09:06
Like they can't,
1:09:07
the other teams can't hear
1:09:08
because our stadium is so loud.
1:09:10
It's just incredible.
1:09:13
It really is.
1:09:14
And they're in my favorite team's division,
1:09:17
so I'm supposed to hate them.
1:09:19
But I just feel like it's
1:09:20
lining up for them.
1:09:24
Fingers crossed.
1:09:26
So, well, that's all I think I have.
1:09:29
Do you have anything else to
1:09:31
add for the week?
1:09:32
Nope.
1:09:33
I've got an in-house camp Saturday.
1:09:36
In-house?
1:09:37
In-house.
1:09:39
Running an in-house camp
1:09:40
just for our members.
1:09:42
How many events?
1:09:45
It'll be five events, six scores.
1:09:48
One of them is like a double lift.
1:09:50
Damn.
1:09:50
A lift.
1:09:51
I know.
1:09:52
They got to go like every
1:09:53
hour and 10 minutes.
1:09:58
That's a long day.
1:10:00
Yeah.
1:10:01
It's like they'll start at
1:10:02
10 and they'll be done by
1:10:03
3.30 if we run on time.
1:10:06
Will any of them be able to
1:10:07
walk on Sunday?
1:10:09
Yeah.
1:10:10
So myself, Veronica, Jim –
1:10:13
and Haley, our new member, um,
1:10:15
all tested and actually Lucas,
1:10:17
my son tested them on Sunday.
1:10:20
Oh, we tested all but one.
1:10:22
So we, and we went like back, back, back,
1:10:25
maybe 15, 20 minutes in between.
1:10:27
Um, and we were all pretty fine on Monday.
1:10:29
Um,
1:10:30
and Haley and I even like scale up the
1:10:32
workouts and the heavier
1:10:34
weight than the members will do and,
1:10:36
or more reps.
1:10:36
So
1:10:37
Yeah, I think they'll be okay.
1:10:39
It's not a ton of squatting.
1:10:41
None of them know,
1:10:42
so if any of them are watching,
1:10:43
which I know some of them do tune in.
1:10:44
Yeah, I don't know.
1:10:49
We got like a cardio one,
1:10:51
rowing and shuttles.
1:10:52
That's the first one,
1:10:53
just a little warm-up event.
1:10:54
And then they'll lift, do some snatches,
1:10:56
and a one-rep max clean.
1:10:59
And then a wall walk and jump rope one,
1:11:04
like a progressive jump rope.
1:11:05
They'll go from single-unders to...
1:11:07
double unders to crossovers
1:11:09
a lot of our members can't
1:11:10
really do the crossovers
1:11:11
very well so they're
1:11:12
nervous about that but
1:11:15
it'll be fun just you know
1:11:16
progressive move along see
1:11:18
how far you can get yeah
1:11:20
sounds great yeah we'll see
1:11:22
how it goes they've been
1:11:24
asking for something
1:11:25
hopefully just get some
1:11:27
keyed up for the open get a
1:11:28
few of them we've got like
1:11:29
19 people doing it and
1:11:31
seven more coming in and
1:11:33
helping judging so it
1:11:34
should be a good day yeah sounds fun
1:11:37
I hope you enjoy that.
1:11:38
I'll take some video,
1:11:40
put together a little reel,
1:11:41
throw some clips up.
1:11:43
Cool.
1:11:45
Well, with that, everybody,
1:11:46
thank you so much for being
1:11:48
