• 0:38

• 0:40

• 0:49

  Like, is it clear or no?
• 0:59
  Yeah, it's good.
• 1:00
  Great.
• 1:03
  So we're here live Sunday night.
• 1:05
  I must do my weekly woe is
• 1:09
  me because I'm a Bears fan
• 1:10
  report as since Mike Ditka
• 1:14
  was fired in nineteen ninety two,
• 1:17
  the Bears are fifteen and
• 1:19
  fifty one against their
• 1:20
  arch rival Green Bay Packers.
• 1:24
  Today, we had them on the ropes.
• 1:27
  All we had to do is kick a
• 1:28
  field goal at the end of the game to win,
• 1:32
  and it got blocked.
• 1:35
  It got blocked because the
• 1:39
  Bears were just bearing.
• 1:43
  That is what they do now.
• 1:45
  They get my heart all ready for, like,
• 1:48
  I had Ashley Kotler's text
• 1:51
  ready to go to rub it in
• 1:52
  her face and then thud.
• 1:59
  Because if people don't know,
• 2:00
  Ashley Kotler, Justin's wife,
• 2:01
  is a big Green Bay Packers fan.
• 2:03
  For the last three years, just randomly,
• 2:06
  I get a text of like how
• 2:08
  woeful the Bears are against the Packers.
• 2:12
  Like how many quarterbacks
• 2:14
  we've gone through when
• 2:15
  they've gone through three.
• 2:18
  Like how many coaches, how many,
• 2:21
  like all these stats.
• 2:22
  And I'll just wake up one
• 2:23
  morning and they're waiting for me.
• 2:26
  And I was ready for the
• 2:27
  retaliation and nothing.
• 2:32
  What a bummer.
• 2:34
  And then the forty niners, Carolyn,
• 2:36
  lost the same way ish.
• 2:38
  I missed the game, but yes,
• 2:40
  I see the score.
• 2:42
  Gino Smith last second
• 2:45
  touchdown to win the game.
• 2:47
  Gino.
• 2:50
  the seahawks beat the
• 2:51
  foreigners but then we're
• 2:52
  not all like jamie and lana
• 2:54
  who have a team that scores
• 2:56
  every time they touch the
• 2:57
  ball points um against the
• 3:02
  woeful jacksonville jaguars
• 3:03
  yeah I mean I should
• 3:06
  technically be a bills fan
• 3:07
  with how close I am to the
• 3:09
  to buffalo but I mean that
• 3:12
  was a good game yeah that's
• 3:14
  what I just finished
• 3:14
  watching right that was an amazing game
• 3:19
  I mean,
• 3:19
  if the Niners aren't going to play
• 3:20
  well this year,
• 3:21
  maybe Lex could mute or not hear this,
• 3:25
  but maybe I'll just go for
• 3:26
  the Bills this year.
• 3:27
  There you go.
• 3:29
  Josh Allen on fourth and two,
• 3:31
  running it all the way into
• 3:32
  the end zone was... I
• 3:35
  actually jumped out of my chair.
• 3:36
  It was so cool.
• 3:38
  I don't like undefeated
• 3:39
  teams and total domination.
• 3:41
  I like when it's mixed up a little bit.
• 3:43
  So, yeah, that was pretty good.
• 3:47
  Well...
• 3:49
  Have your weeks been?
• 3:52
  I had a good week.
• 3:54
  We ended up going to Mount
• 3:55
  Pleasant to the Soaring
• 3:57
  Eagle Casino yesterday for
• 3:59
  my niece's eighteenth birthday.
• 4:01
  So took her in there and did
• 4:02
  some gambling.
• 4:05
  I had her behind.
• 4:09
  She ended up like five
• 4:11
  hundred or six hundred up.
• 4:15
  Yeah, I lost like seventy bucks.
• 4:17
  I think Aaron lost like a hundred, but.
• 4:20
  Sorry,
• 4:21
  do you have a cap when you play like
• 4:23
  what's like?
• 4:24
  Yeah, I took I took seventy.
• 4:26
  That's what I was willing to play with.
• 4:29
  And I had seventy for Aaron.
• 4:31
  I think Aaron had some of his own money.
• 4:33
  I was actually up.
• 4:35
  I was up like, I don't know,
• 4:37
  sixty at one point.
• 4:38
  I just do slots.
• 4:39
  We did a little bit of roulette.
• 4:40
  So, yeah, that's fine.
• 4:45
  Yeah, I go in with twenty, twenty five.
• 4:49
  Like that's usually my cap,
• 4:50
  but because I'm a cheapskate.
• 4:53
  Yeah, I am, too.
• 4:54
  I don't I don't love to bet money,
• 4:56
  but it was fun.
• 4:59
  It was a good night.
• 5:00
  Kenneth Galap says ripping
• 5:02
  some cigs and gambling all
• 5:03
  the new eighteen year old privileges.
• 5:05
  That's what we said.
• 5:05
  So when we called her for
• 5:07
  her birthday was actually Tuesday.
• 5:10
  And when we called her, Aaron was like,
• 5:12
  did you go buy some cigarettes?
• 5:13
  And she's like,
• 5:14
  you got to be twenty one now,
• 5:16
  which I didn't even realize
• 5:17
  apparently to be twenty one
• 5:18
  to buy cigarettes.
• 5:22
  OK.
• 5:22
  Yeah.
• 5:25
  Not that she would do it, but.
• 5:30
  Carolyn, you got back from Scotland when?
• 5:33
  I got back Monday at like
• 5:36
  nine PM and I went like
• 5:37
  right to bed to get used to
• 5:41
  this time zone here.
• 5:43
  I've been going to bed pretty early,
• 5:44
  like every day of the week
• 5:45
  around eight thirty nine.
• 5:49
  But.
• 5:49
  I felt like I went right back on track.
• 5:52
  I was at school Tuesday morning,
• 5:54
  and it felt like a regular work day.
• 5:56
  I wasn't overly tired from the travel.
• 6:00
  How was it going?
• 6:01
  Because I'm good west, but going east,
• 6:04
  I'm crushed every time.
• 6:08
  I was good the first day.
• 6:09
  It was almost the second day,
• 6:11
  I was a little bit...
• 6:13
  like the first day you're
• 6:14
  almost like surviving and I
• 6:17
  for me it catches up on the
• 6:18
  second day I wanted to nap
• 6:20
  and just kind of get out of
• 6:22
  routine where I shouldn't
• 6:24
  um but it was okay it
• 6:27
  wasn't too bad I think for
• 6:28
  me it was only five hours
• 6:30
  for lex it was eight so it
• 6:31
  would be more for her but
• 6:33
  she was able to get right
• 6:34
  on schedule right away
• 6:35
  essentially so it was good yeah
• 6:39
  why the doctor's appointment on Friday?
• 6:41
  And I announced a couple of
• 6:42
  weeks ago that I've weaned
• 6:43
  myself off of insulin.
• 6:46
  Um, when I had a fib, my,
• 6:47
  my sugar was up to like, ten point six,
• 6:49
  a one C and a couple months ago,
• 6:53
  three months ago,
• 6:53
  it was six point zero with the insulin,
• 6:56
  but I've weaned myself off.
• 6:57
  So they measured again and
• 6:58
  now I'm at five point seven
• 7:00
  without insulin.
• 7:02
  Um, so the doctor is like ecstatic, um,
• 7:05
  that it just keeps dropping
• 7:07
  and dropping and dropping.
• 7:08
  Um,
• 7:09
  And so I'm super stoked.
• 7:10
  That's been my, my big,
• 7:12
  big news of the weekend.
• 7:14
  Even a bear's loss can't
• 7:15
  take away that joy.
• 7:18
  What have you,
• 7:18
  what have you changed like the most?
• 7:20
  Like, is it like your diet?
• 7:21
  Are you getting back in the
• 7:22
  gym a little bit more?
• 7:24
  Like what, what's making it go down?
• 7:27
  so I'm I'm taking a
• 7:28
  different approach at the
• 7:29
  gym like if I if I feel
• 7:31
  good I I do a metcon if I
• 7:34
  don't feel good I do like
• 7:35
  bodybuilding or a lifting
• 7:37
  sesh just to kind of like
• 7:39
  mentally be okay um and and
• 7:42
  that's I think the bigger
• 7:44
  piece is the stress like
• 7:46
  I've just had to de-stress
• 7:47
  a lot of things in my life
• 7:49
  and get rid of a lot of the
• 7:50
  my the things that were
• 7:51
  stressing me out and um go
• 7:54
  back to go back to therapy
• 7:56
  go back to talking about
• 7:57
  all the things um and
• 8:00
  working through that and I
• 8:01
  think that has been the
• 8:02
  biggest the biggest thing
• 8:04
  um and that has helped me
• 8:06
  with an approach um and
• 8:10
  with that like and I'm I am
• 8:13
  taking a little bit
• 8:14
  different approach with my eating um
• 8:18
  And I kind of went back to
• 8:19
  an old method when I first
• 8:21
  was diagnosed as a diabetic.
• 8:23
  I got off of everything.
• 8:26
  Just eating when I'm hungry
• 8:28
  and making sure that
• 8:29
  whatever I'm eating is good
• 8:31
  for my body and not bad for my body.
• 8:34
  Do you like focus on protein like?
• 8:37
  proteins, fruits and vegetables.
• 8:40
  Really because of the diabetic piece,
• 8:41
  I am reducing carbs down a
• 8:43
  bit because I need to get
• 8:45
  the sugars out of my blood system.
• 8:47
  But when I do that,
• 8:48
  then everything in my body
• 8:50
  starts working correctly again.
• 8:51
  So then like the weight loss
• 8:53
  is faster and all that
• 8:55
  other stuff starts happening.
• 8:57
  so I just I had to like just
• 8:59
  reset everything for myself
• 9:01
  get get healthy again so
• 9:04
  that um everything else
• 9:06
  works and then I can attack
• 9:08
  you know maybe attacking
• 9:09
  the gym differently but I
• 9:10
  really am enjoying the way
• 9:11
  I'm doing it now like if my
• 9:13
  body feels good I do it
• 9:15
  like a good hard metcon if
• 9:17
  it doesn't I do
• 9:18
  bodybuilding and that way
• 9:19
  I'm still moving but it's
• 9:21
  um but it's it's something
• 9:23
  that I enjoy when I'm when
• 9:24
  I'm not feeling great um
• 9:28
  so that's kind of been my approach.
• 9:31
  Are you going to do the gym
• 9:32
  or have you been, um, more at the garage?
• 9:36
  So it's been more at the garage,
• 9:37
  but I have gone back to the
• 9:38
  gym a little bit more.
• 9:40
  Um, uh,
• 9:41
  because Julie has been working from
• 9:43
  home more cause she's
• 9:43
  getting closer to her surgery.
• 9:45
  Her knee pain is getting greater.
• 9:47
  Um, so she, so we,
• 9:48
  the car is at the house more, but, um,
• 9:52
  but yeah.
• 9:53
  Cool.
• 9:55
  But then there's going to be
• 9:56
  her going through the
• 9:57
  surgery and me doing all that stuff,
• 9:59
  which is going to, yeah.
• 10:01
  So I've got two propane
• 10:03
  heaters now for the garage as we hit,
• 10:06
  go into winter.
• 10:07
  So yeah.
• 10:12
  So yeah,
• 10:12
  but everything's going well that way.
• 10:15
  One more thing I want to
• 10:15
  talk about before we get into CrossFit,
• 10:17
  though,
• 10:18
  is an EA Sports announced
• 10:21
  announced that their NHL
• 10:22
  twenty five game is going
• 10:24
  to include the women's
• 10:25
  league players as a
• 10:27
  selection or their teams as
• 10:29
  selection to play with on the game.
• 10:32
  And I texted Carolyn
• 10:34
  immediately because she
• 10:35
  just retired or we'd be
• 10:37
  able to play as Carolyn
• 10:38
  Prevost on this game.
• 10:40
  It's true.
• 10:41
  It's true.
• 10:41
  It's true.
• 10:42
  No,
• 10:42
  I'm happy for all my friends and ex
• 10:45
  teammates.
• 10:45
  That's really cool.
• 10:46
  Good addition.
• 10:48
  I felt like they did it with
• 10:49
  the basketball.
• 10:51
  It's nice to see that the
• 10:52
  hockey's following suit and
• 10:54
  that just more representation,
• 10:57
  more cool opportunities
• 10:59
  like this for the female
• 11:00
  side of the sport.
• 11:01
  It's great.
• 11:03
  I also noticed that ESPN
• 11:05
  shows the pro lacrosse
• 11:06
  league and they are adding
• 11:09
  a female pro lacrosse
• 11:11
  league in twenty five as well.
• 11:13
  And ESPN is going to show that as well.
• 11:16
  Women's sports is taking
• 11:18
  huge leaps in the last
• 11:20
  eighteen to twenty four months.
• 11:22
  well,
• 11:23
  we're actually showcasing it versus
• 11:25
  before we were barely seeing it.
• 11:27
  But once they started
• 11:28
  showcasing it and you start
• 11:29
  to follow the athletes and everything,
• 11:32
  people have become real
• 11:33
  fans of the sports, which is awesome.
• 11:37
  I think the video game step is huge.
• 11:40
  If little girls can play as
• 11:42
  pro basketball players and
• 11:44
  pro hockey players,
• 11:46
  that's just going to
• 11:47
  incentivize them even more
• 11:50
  to jump into those sports.
• 11:52
  yeah so I think that's
• 11:55
  that's awesome so um we'll
• 12:00
  get into the crossfit stuff
• 12:02
  uh I want to start off with
• 12:04
  tomorrow will be the final
• 12:05
  episode of all access
• 12:08
  behind the scenes at the
• 12:08
  crossfit games masters
• 12:10
  edition um I'm a little sad
• 12:14
  this week has been the
• 12:15
  hardest week of my of
• 12:16
  putting this together it is
• 12:18
  the longest episode yet
• 12:22
  And I think because I was by
• 12:23
  myself on Sunday,
• 12:25
  Ellie had to do some other
• 12:26
  things and I didn't know
• 12:27
  how much she was getting each day.
• 12:29
  So I just was like trying to
• 12:31
  make sure I had enough
• 12:31
  footage and I had so much
• 12:35
  even cutting it down.
• 12:36
  I have fifty five minutes of an episode.
• 12:38
  Wow.
• 12:39
  So so tomorrow we are starting at noon.
• 12:43
  um to give a full like lunch
• 12:45
  hour noon to to one o'clock
• 12:47
  um for that it's already
• 12:49
  set up in the system to go
• 12:50
  tomorrow at noon uh but I
• 12:52
  actually have two trailers
• 12:53
  for you tonight uh one is a
• 12:55
  typical trailer and then
• 12:56
  there's one story that was
• 12:58
  so cool I wanted to pull it
• 12:59
  out and uh kind of
• 13:01
  highlight it so what I'm
• 13:03
  going to do is go ahead and
• 13:04

• 13:12

• 13:20
  This is going to be a fun one.
• 13:22
  It's the end of it.
• 13:23
  Got to go strong.
• 13:24
  Can't hold back.
• 13:25
  Hard today because you're
• 13:26
  sore or good because you
• 13:28

• 13:29

• 13:49
  but yeah, it's been fun.
• 13:54
  We do wrap-up shows every night,
• 13:55
  and I read your name off as
• 13:56
  one of the leaders.
• 13:57
  Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.
• 13:58
  Have you had fun this weekend?
• 14:01
  Oh, it's been great.
• 14:01
  It's such an amazing experience.
• 14:03
  Yeah, it's my first time,
• 14:04
  so I've been trying to get
• 14:07
  here for a long time.
• 14:09
  It's so much fun to be back
• 14:11
  out with all my friends and
• 14:12
  seeing people that I
• 14:13
  competed with so many years
• 14:15
  ago and meeting new people.
• 14:17
  I just think it's so inspiring.
• 14:23
  The individuals are inspiring,
• 14:24
  but to see Masters athletes
• 14:26
  just doing unbelievable things.
• 14:30
  I don't want to say at our age,
• 14:31
  but that it can continue.
• 14:33
  It doesn't deteriorate.
• 14:35
  Tired.
• 14:35
  Having fun this weekend?
• 14:37
  Absolutely.
• 14:38
  Having a blast.
• 14:40
  What's been the best part of
• 14:41
  this weekend so far?
• 14:43
  Camaraderie.
• 14:44
  Seeing old friends.
• 14:46
  It's a competition.
• 14:47
  We're here to do a job.
• 14:47
  We've worked hard.
• 14:48
  Worked all year for it.
• 14:50
  It's been a long season, too.
• 14:51
  That's the other thing.
• 14:52
  But to get here and see
• 14:53
  familiar faces and find friendships again,
• 14:58
  it's been a blast.
• 14:59
  problem between both I'm
• 15:01
  trying to use my legs that
• 15:02
  like so even though the
• 15:04
  body speed up still do that
• 15:06
  and focus on and mechanics
• 15:07
  yeah consistency like try
• 15:09
  to be efficient it will
• 15:11
  help for as much as they
• 15:12
  can at this point I'll do
• 15:13
  four four you watch how
• 15:15
  slow it is it's like just do three three
• 15:22
  Get a big lead and just chillin'?
• 15:24
  No, I wanna try and win it.
• 15:27
  I'm gonna try and do it unbroken.
• 15:29
  Brandon told me I could
• 15:30
  probably try to do that, so I'm gonna,
• 15:33
  per his advice, try to go unbroken.
• 16:21
  So that is the trailer for
• 16:22
  the final episode.
• 16:24
  The workout was bar
• 16:25
  muscle-ups and single arm
• 16:29
  dumbbell thrusters.
• 16:30
  For the older age groups,
• 16:31
  they actually scaled them
• 16:33
  back to chest-to-bar
• 16:34
  pull-ups and they complained.
• 16:36
  And if you've been watching other episodes,
• 16:38
  they talk about that a
• 16:39
  little bit and they
• 16:40
  actually modified it so
• 16:41
  that the last round of
• 16:43
  chest-to-bar got moved back
• 16:45
  up to bar muscle-ups.
• 16:47
  So if you had them,
• 16:48
  you got to show them off.
• 16:50
  And it was watching the
• 16:52
  older age groups hit bar
• 16:53
  muscle ups at the end of
• 16:55
  the weekend was one of the
• 16:57
  coolest things I watched all weekend.
• 17:01
  And a lot of them talk about it.
• 17:04
  I like that version,
• 17:06
  adding in handstand walk
• 17:07
  for the last round or
• 17:08
  adding in the bar muscle
• 17:09
  for the last round.
• 17:10
  I like that better.
• 17:13
  Just lets the people shine
• 17:15
  that have those particular skills.
• 17:18
  yeah yeah um crossfit said
• 17:21
  that's some great video
• 17:22
  with solid royalty-free
• 17:23
  music and some sea kips uh
• 17:26
  yeah uh yeah I I dive into
• 17:30
  royalty-free music so much
• 17:31
  during doing this uh but
• 17:33
  it's this has been really
• 17:34
  good uh lynn says my chest
• 17:38
  of our pull-ups don't even look like that
• 17:43
  So with that,
• 17:43
  there was also another story.
• 17:46
  I've gotten to know Shanna
• 17:47
  Bunce since Legends last
• 17:51
  year as she won Legends and
• 17:53
  we interviewed all the winners last year.
• 17:57
  And afterwards,
• 17:57
  she was talking about a new goal she had.
• 18:01
  And so I'm just going to
• 18:01
  play this real quick.
• 18:03
  And this is just a small
• 18:06
  snippet of what you're
• 18:07
  going to see in the final episode.
• 18:10
  But I wanted to highlight
• 18:11
  her and what she's doing.
• 18:19
  So what is your goal to set
• 18:20
  the world record in pole vaulting?
• 18:22
  Yeah, I guess since you're here and you're,
• 18:25
  yes.
• 18:26
  My goal next year is I'm
• 18:27
  gonna try pole vaulting and
• 18:31
  I'm going to go for the
• 18:33
  world record in my age
• 18:33
  group which is ten feet three inches.
• 18:39
  And how many times have you pole vaulted?
• 18:40
  Never.
• 18:41
  So this is going to be very
• 18:43
  interesting because I've never done it.
• 18:44
  I don't know if I can do it.
• 19:04
  Wow.
• 19:07
  And I thought she was joking around.
• 19:09
  When, when I recorded it and she goes in,
• 19:11
  like I said,
• 19:12
  this is a very small snippet
• 19:13
  of our conversation.
• 19:15
  And then I was following her on Instagram.
• 19:17
  She is really going after it.
• 19:20
  And you'll see,
• 19:21
  I grabbed a bunch of her
• 19:22
  Instagram posts showing her
• 19:24
  progress and where she is today.
• 19:27
  So you'll have to check that out.
• 19:29
  And of course I put,
• 19:30
  I buried that at the end of
• 19:32
  the documentary.
• 19:33
  So you have to watch the
• 19:34
  whole thing to see it.
• 19:35
  That is crazy.
• 19:36
  Props to her.
• 19:36
  She needs to reach out to
• 19:38
  Danielle Brandon and get some tips.
• 19:40
  Yeah.
• 19:41
  Yeah,
• 19:41
  so I don't want to give too much away,
• 19:44
  but a coach actually reached out to her.
• 19:45
  Oh, okay.
• 19:48
  Because she's a taller athlete,
• 19:50
  if you've never met Shanna.
• 19:52
  She's a very tall athlete.
• 19:54
  And a coach reached out to
• 19:56
  her and said she has the
• 19:57
  perfect body type to be a pole vaulter.
• 20:01
  And that's what put this
• 20:03
  earworm into her brain.
• 20:05
  And now she's really going to go for it.
• 20:08
  It's a very difficult sport.
• 20:10
  Yeah.
• 20:11
  It requires a lot of speed, precision,
• 20:14
  flexibility.
• 20:15
  That's cool.
• 20:16
  Strength.
• 20:20
  We'll be rooting for her.
• 20:22
  It sounds like saying
• 20:23
  underwater basket weaving world record.
• 20:25
  Yeah.
• 20:28
  And until you realize it's a,
• 20:29
  it's a real idea.
• 20:32
  Yeah.
• 20:32
  Yeah.
• 20:33
  Yeah.
• 20:33
  That's when she was saying it, I was like,
• 20:36
  wait,
• 20:37
  I didn't have my camera on record
• 20:39
  and I turned around and I'm like,
• 20:40
  I hit record as you said this.
• 20:43
  And she's like, yeah, I,
• 20:44
  that's what I'm doing.
• 20:45
  And then we have a nice
• 20:46
  conversation about it.
• 20:49
  Yeah.
• 20:50
  It's pretty cool.
• 20:50
  You know,
• 20:51
  when the championship is or like where,
• 20:53
  where she does it at,
• 20:54
  can she do it at any meet?
• 20:55
  Yeah.
• 20:57
  I don't think she had a meat
• 20:59
  in mind for this.
• 21:00
  It was just, let's go through the steps,
• 21:02
  see where I'm at, see where I get to.
• 21:04
  And can I actually pull it off?
• 21:08
  But what you'll see tomorrow is she's,
• 21:10
  she's much further along
• 21:11
  than I thought she would be
• 21:12
  at this point.
• 21:15
  So cool.
• 21:15
  When does she try it?
• 21:18
  She didn't never said when
• 21:19
  she was going to try it.
• 21:20
  She said just in the course
• 21:21
  of twenty twenty five.
• 21:22
  Yeah.
• 21:23
  Cool.
• 21:25
  So.
• 21:27
  Yeah, it's going to be cool.
• 21:29
  And I'll continue to follow.
• 21:31
  We'll keep updating on this
• 21:32
  show as she goes forward as
• 21:35
  to where she gets to on that.
• 21:36
  But you'll have to check it out for sure.
• 21:40
  That's awesome.
• 21:42
  So now that that's all out of the way, um,
• 21:46
  our very own Carolyn
• 21:47
  Prevost was over in
• 21:48
  Scotland and she got to do
• 21:50
  a lot of things while she was there.
• 21:53
  Um, how did the trip go overall?
• 21:55
  Did you just visiting Scotland?
• 21:57
  What was that like?
• 22:00
  It was cool.
• 22:00
  We didn't get too much time
• 22:02
  to tour because we were
• 22:05
  obviously wanting to watch
• 22:06
  the CrossFit competition.
• 22:08
  It's not like I was going to
• 22:10
  go to Scotland and not be
• 22:12
  at the CrossFit competition
• 22:13
  the whole day.
• 22:13
  So we had one day where we went downtown.
• 22:16
  We walked around.
• 22:18
  I mean, there's castles everywhere.
• 22:19
  We didn't get to go to the
• 22:21
  castles that were about a half hour,
• 22:28
  the competition itself.
• 22:31
  I mean,
• 22:31
  I got to test the dual the
• 22:33
  Wednesday when I got there.
• 22:35
  So Lex and I both got in the
• 22:37
  Wednesday and then we were
• 22:39
  just heading to the hotel
• 22:40
  gym to do a workout.
• 22:41
  And I get a text from Katie.
• 22:43
  It's like, when have you landed?
• 22:44
  And what are your plans basically?
• 22:47
  And I was like, well,
• 22:48
  I was just about to go do a workout.
• 22:50
  She's like, can you come and
• 22:52
  test something for me and I
• 22:52
  was like sure so we did a
• 22:55
  small workout at the hotel
• 22:56
  gym and then I left Lex at
• 22:58
  the hotel and went to go
• 22:59
  test the dual just for like
• 23:02
  transition wise and
• 23:03
  everything we made a small
• 23:05
  adjustment to the original
• 23:07
  workout on the power stairs
• 23:09
  and then yeah I mean that
• 23:12
  one was fun to do so then
• 23:17
  you were asked to be on the
• 23:18
  desk of the tailgate party
• 23:22
  which was awesome.
• 23:25
  Were you surprised you got on so early?
• 23:28
  Because you were one of the
• 23:28
  first people on the desk.
• 23:31
  Yeah.
• 23:31
  I mean, I don't know, right?
• 23:32
  Like I'm there.
• 23:33
  So I don't know who had been
• 23:34
  before me or who's coming after me.
• 23:37
  I got an email saying that
• 23:38
  they had a couple of slots
• 23:39
  that they were looking to put me in.
• 23:42
  And then as I,
• 23:45
  arrived there the one day I
• 23:47
  was doing the burpee
• 23:48
  challenge and then someone
• 23:49
  didn't show up for their
• 23:50
  slot so then I filled in um
• 23:53
  another time I think I was
• 23:54
  on the desk maybe three
• 23:56
  three times three or four
• 23:57
  times and then the burpee
• 23:59
  challenge which in my
• 24:00
  opinion was good enough for
• 24:02
  your um for my bet against
• 24:04
  you it was my I'll take
• 24:07
  that under consideration
• 24:11
  Okay, great.
• 24:12
  But no, the rest of the weekend,
• 24:13
  I got to sit in the box, like the suite,
• 24:18
  along with a lot of the
• 24:19
  legends athletes that were there.
• 24:22
  Caught up with a lot of
• 24:23
  those athletes and enjoyed
• 24:25
  the competition.
• 24:26
  Met some of the sponsors.
• 24:30
  Did some shopping around.
• 24:31
  Got the newer version of the Crocs.
• 24:34
  Yeah.
• 24:36
  Yeah.
• 24:38
  So,
• 24:38
  was their setup as professional as ours?
• 24:43
  For the broadcast?
• 24:45
  It was on par, on par.
• 24:47
  On par.
• 24:48
  Okay.
• 24:48
  Yeah.
• 24:52
  Good.
• 24:52
  Did you have fun doing the tailgate show?
• 24:54
  Because it looked like, well, one,
• 24:58
  it looked like you had fun,
• 24:59
  but it also looked like you
• 25:00
  were the one that had to
• 25:01
  keep the train on the tracks.
• 25:04
  maybe it's cause like,
• 25:04
  I'm such a fan of the sports.
• 25:06
  So like, as they're,
• 25:07
  they get talking sometimes,
• 25:08
  like I'm always just like
• 25:09
  watching the race.
• 25:10
  Cause it's just like,
• 25:11
  I feel like I I'm still
• 25:12
  involved in the sport and, you know,
• 25:14
  competing and, and, you know,
• 25:17
  watching my competitors and
• 25:18
  stuff like that.
• 25:19
  So like,
• 25:20
  I'd be like talking and joking around,
• 25:22
  but like seriously,
• 25:22
  like trying to at least pay
• 25:24
  attention to what was happening.
• 25:26
  Um, so yeah,
• 25:27
  maybe I would bring it back to the,
• 25:29
  to the race sometimes.
• 25:31
  Um,
• 25:32
  And you have like a TV in front of you,
• 25:34
  like a monitor with the, with the race
• 25:36
  Yeah, there was like three smaller TVs.
• 25:38
  I didn't have my glasses,
• 25:39
  but they were like,
• 25:41
  I couldn't see like the leader sometimes,
• 25:42
  like if there was written small on the TV,
• 25:44
  but then there was a big TV
• 25:46
  right behind where, um,
• 25:48
  like if I was looking at, um, at Pat,
• 25:52
  then the huge TV was in the back.
• 25:54
  So when I'd be like looking at him talking,
• 25:56
  I could see way better.
• 25:58
  Um,
• 25:59
  like actually the positions of the
• 26:00
  athletes and everything like that.
• 26:02
  Um, yeah.
• 26:03
  So we, I mean,
• 26:04
  you weren't missing the action.
• 26:06
  Well,
• 26:07
  the smaller TVs explains a lot
• 26:09
  because many of the
• 26:10
  athletes that were on the
• 26:11
  tailgate were like,
• 26:13
  I don't... Who's that in first?
• 26:14
  Who's that?
• 26:15
  So it wasn't just you.
• 26:16
  It was... Yeah,
• 26:18
  you had the big screen TV
• 26:20
  that was on the right side of the desk.
• 26:23
  That's the one that you
• 26:24
  could really see everything.
• 26:25
  And then, yeah,
• 26:28
  the TVs that were in front of us,
• 26:30
  you could see the leaders.
• 26:33
  I could mostly tell...
• 26:35
  like when they're showing
• 26:36
  the athlete itself like I
• 26:37
  know what their body looks
• 26:38
  like and how they move but
• 26:40
  it was like if you on the
• 26:41
  left side the flags and and
• 26:44
  the leaders or the scores
• 26:45
  of where they were at it
• 26:47
  was a little bit too small
• 26:48
  from the desk to actually
• 26:50
  see the order of the rest
• 26:53
  of the field so I would
• 26:55
  often glance over at pat
• 26:57
  just to see the the real the real race
• 27:02
  So my last question about
• 27:03
  the desk is Sunday morning,
• 27:06
  they had some scotch
• 27:07
  whiskey on the desk that it
• 27:11
  appeared that some of the
• 27:12
  people started
• 27:13
  participating in early in the day.
• 27:18
  And the show got really loose at times,
• 27:22
  which I found amusing and enjoyable.
• 27:28
  Is that is that factual?
• 27:31
  uh I think a little bit they
• 27:33
  also had food at one point
• 27:35
  when I when I got there
• 27:36
  there was like fish and
• 27:37
  chip and a bunch of other
• 27:38
  things that was on the desk
• 27:39
  I guess and yeah um so then
• 27:42
  there was this plate of
• 27:43
  chocolate and I was getting
• 27:45
  hungry and I was like oh I
• 27:47
  want this chocolate right
• 27:48
  now it's some european
• 27:49
  chocolate I didn't know it
• 27:50
  was whiskey chocolate so I
• 27:52
  had this whiskey chocolate
• 27:53
  and I was like ugh it was
• 27:55
  not what I was expecting to bite into
• 27:59
  But then they also had, yeah,
• 28:00
  the scotch on the table.
• 28:01
  I didn't have a drink of that one.
• 28:04
  I'm not a whiskey drinker.
• 28:06
  I'm not really a drinker anyways,
• 28:07
  but definitely not whiskey.
• 28:10
  Yeah,
• 28:11
  I got to witness you trying the
• 28:13
  chocolate.
• 28:13
  It was pretty funny.
• 28:14
  Yeah, that was not my favorite.
• 28:18
  Yeah.
• 28:20
  So the competition overall,
• 28:23
  you got to witness that.
• 28:24
  You got to watch.
• 28:27
  What was that like,
• 28:28
  getting to watch that live?
• 28:30
  It was awesome.
• 28:31
  I mean,
• 28:32
  it was completely different than Texas.
• 28:35
  I think the fact that when
• 28:37
  Texas was in a baseball field,
• 28:38
  like baseball fields are so
• 28:40
  big in terms of the seating.
• 28:45
  Like there was so much
• 28:45
  seating at Round Rock.
• 28:48
  that it made it seem like empty,
• 28:51
  even though they could have
• 28:52
  had as many fans as, um, Aberdeen.
• 28:55
  Like it was just hard to tell.
• 28:57
  Like it just looked like it was, you know,
• 28:58
  in certain sections was busy.
• 29:00
  Um, I felt like the fans were great.
• 29:03
  They showed up to each, each event,
• 29:06
  including the strong man.
• 29:07
  Like it wasn't just a small
• 29:09
  group watching a strong man
• 29:10
  and then they would leave.
• 29:11
  Like it,
• 29:11
  it felt like every event was
• 29:13
  getting watched.
• 29:14
  Um,
• 29:16
  the between the events the
• 29:18
  one I forget what her name
• 29:19
  is she has an accent she
• 29:22
  was keeping the crowd going
• 29:23
  like there were some
• 29:24
  drinking competitions there
• 29:25
  was some kiss cam there was
• 29:27
  dance cams there was all
• 29:31
  kinds of stuff between I
• 29:32
  thought she did a good job
• 29:33
  of just kind of keeping the
• 29:34
  flow between between the events um
• 29:37
  the actual field of play looked great.
• 29:40
  I thought the turf was a great addition,
• 29:43
  um, to, uh,
• 29:45
  just to the indoor venue that
• 29:47
  you don't see that.
• 29:47
  So it's still brought a Lauren Smith.
• 29:49
  Yeah, that's right.
• 29:50
  That's her name.
• 29:51
  Um, yeah, the Simba camp, uh, they, uh,
• 29:57
  That turf feeling just like
• 29:59
  brings that outdoor that
• 30:00
  they couldn't really do inside.
• 30:02
  So I really liked the
• 30:03
  addition of the turf there.
• 30:05
  It looked clean.
• 30:07
  It was pretty dark where the fans were.
• 30:09
  So like it just kept the
• 30:11
  spotlight onto the floor, which is cool.
• 30:16
  I like that.
• 30:17
  Um, the events itself, uh, there were some,
• 30:20
  some great, great races like the,
• 30:22
  the Ricky Gerard, uh,
• 30:26
  just edging out Jeff Adler
• 30:27
  in that first event was
• 30:29
  exciting to watch.
• 30:30
  You know what, for,
• 30:31
  for a first event where normally like,
• 30:33
  I don't care to watch a
• 30:34
  long run when they were
• 30:35
  coming in and out and then
• 30:37
  trying to figure out which
• 30:38
  sandbag to get.
• 30:40
  I actually really liked
• 30:41
  watching that event.
• 30:42
  Probably one of my favorite
• 30:43
  ones of the weekend to watch.
• 30:45
  Um,
• 30:47
  I actually, from a broadcast perspective,
• 30:49
  I thought it was fun to
• 30:50
  watch too because they had
• 30:51
  good cameras outside to get
• 30:54
  that quick loop.
• 30:56
  And it wasn't like too long
• 30:57
  of a run where it,
• 31:00
  and they did a good job of
• 31:01
  not just watching the leaders.
• 31:02
  They had like a camera in the middle.
• 31:04
  So you'd see some people
• 31:05
  coming out as others are going down.
• 31:07
  And I thought that was good.
• 31:09
  Too many times we only get
• 31:11
  to see the leader of a run race.
• 31:14
  Yep.
• 31:16
  Yes, I thought that was good.
• 31:19
  Some of the events,
• 31:20
  I was surprised in some of the, I guess,
• 31:26
  performances, I should say.
• 31:28
  Maybe I expected more of
• 31:30
  them in comparison to myself.
• 31:33
  Sometimes, like even the Snatch one,
• 31:36
  there was a lot more that
• 31:37
  were stuck on the Snatch
• 31:38
  than I anticipated.
• 31:41
  Um, cause they all broke up.
• 31:43
  They all broke up the ring muscle ups,
• 31:44
  I think, except for one person.
• 31:47
  So like I was expecting,
• 31:48
  if you're breaking up,
• 31:49
  the ring was at muscle up,
• 31:50
  especially as a male,
• 31:51
  I didn't expect them to be
• 31:52
  struggling on the snatches
• 31:54
  as much as they were,
• 31:55
  but they were short bars.
• 31:57
  on turf and that can play a
• 31:59
  factor as well.
• 32:00
  I tested with the short bar as well.
• 32:02
  Um,
• 32:02
  when I did mine and it just makes it
• 32:04
  seem heavier, of course,
• 32:06
  but I didn't think that
• 32:06
  they would struggle as much.
• 32:08
  Um, so I don't know,
• 32:11
  like Haley Adams was one of
• 32:13
  the slowest ones to the, to the snatch.
• 32:16
  She did,
• 32:16
  she did like three or four sets on
• 32:18
  the ring muscle ups and she
• 32:19
  was probably the fastest
• 32:20
  one on the snatch and got like,
• 32:23
  top five in that workout.
• 32:24
  Like, yeah, she did really well.
• 32:27
  It didn't have to be as much
• 32:29
  about the snatch.
• 32:31
  If I think if they broke up
• 32:32
  their rings a little tiny bit more,
• 32:34
  they could have cycled
• 32:35
  through that snatch a
• 32:36
  little bit better and then
• 32:38
  actually had a foot race on the shuttles.
• 32:42
  Is it appropriate to be
• 32:44
  sneaky like that in developing it?
• 32:46
  Was it meant to be sneaky?
• 32:47
  Like that really,
• 32:49
  you don't want to tire
• 32:51
  yourself out on the mob,
• 32:53
  on the muscle ups, because if you do,
• 32:55
  it's going to cost you on the snatches.
• 32:58
  Yeah.
• 32:58
  If you go too hard on the ring, muscle ups,
• 32:59
  your shoulders,
• 33:00
  those first couple of reps are tough.
• 33:05
  Yeah.
• 33:05
  So it's just like,
• 33:06
  it's really just the pacing
• 33:07
  and then it's finding the
• 33:09
  right pace where you can move the bar.
• 33:11
  Yeah.
• 33:13
  Yeah.
• 33:14
  We talked about it on the
• 33:15
  wrap up show that it really
• 33:17
  became a snatch workout.
• 33:19
  If you could get through them smooth, you,
• 33:21
  you were going to do well.
• 33:22
  Yeah.
• 33:23
  I mean, if you look like G out there,
• 33:24
  like you're, you're golden, um, although
• 33:28
  Dallin did beat him in the second heat,
• 33:30
  but, um, yeah, if you could,
• 33:33
  if you could move through it,
• 33:34
  like at a moderate pace, but again,
• 33:36
  if you were smarter on the
• 33:37
  ring muscle ups, like I bet you,
• 33:40
  that's the type of workout
• 33:41
  that if you release early
• 33:42
  and the athletes get to actually test it,
• 33:45
  it would have been a
• 33:46
  different workout with a
• 33:47
  different strategy and
• 33:49
  actually finding the pace
• 33:50
  that you can hold in the
• 33:50
  bike on the ring muscle ups
• 33:52
  to move the snatch at a,
• 33:54
  at a good rhythm.
• 33:56
  Um,
• 33:59
  What else was the third event?
• 34:01
  The brave heart one.
• 34:02
  I liked that one.
• 34:04
  I thought that was, uh, I liked the,
• 34:07
  the double handstand pushup
• 34:10
  that definitely makes your
• 34:11
  shoulders a lot more tired.
• 34:13
  Um,
• 34:15
  That's a movement we hadn't
• 34:16
  seen officially in a bigger
• 34:20
  CrossFit competition as far as I know.
• 34:24
  I want to ask you a question
• 34:25
  about that because, again,
• 34:28
  Laura finishes towards the
• 34:30
  bottom in a strict
• 34:32
  handstand push-up workout.
• 34:36
  You have told us on this
• 34:37
  show that you're not a great swimmer,
• 34:39
  but you're not willing to
• 34:41
  invest extra time in that
• 34:42
  because how much better are
• 34:44
  you going to get in that one event?
• 34:47
  And is it enough that it's
• 34:50
  going to make a difference
• 34:51
  in the overall weekend?
• 34:52
  Is it worth the others maybe
• 34:54
  falling back a little bit?
• 34:57
  do you think that that's
• 34:58
  where Laura is now?
• 34:59
  Like it's just her whole,
• 35:01
  it's always going to be her whole,
• 35:02
  but to the amount of time
• 35:04
  it would take to get better at that would,
• 35:06
  would take away from her
• 35:07
  other things that she's
• 35:09
  somewhat dominant in.
• 35:11
  I don't think so.
• 35:11
  I think just like structurally,
• 35:13
  maybe she's got like longer
• 35:14
  arms that just make it harder to,
• 35:16
  to press.
• 35:17
  Like you have to like, she's,
• 35:21
  she's competing.
• 35:22
  It's a top girls in the
• 35:23
  world that are so good at
• 35:25
  that movement as well.
• 35:27
  Um, I,
• 35:29
  I thought she was going to be a
• 35:30
  little bit better on the flat surface.
• 35:32
  I did think like I was
• 35:34
  expecting a little bit more.
• 35:36
  Um,
• 35:36
  but then like everyone's just so good
• 35:39
  at them that even if she gets better,
• 35:42
  it's just so hard to be
• 35:43
  competitive when you're
• 35:44
  talking about the elites of the elite.
• 35:47
  Um,
• 35:49
  Yeah, I mean,
• 35:50
  it was a good thing for her
• 35:52
  that it's paired with a back squat,
• 35:53
  which slowed down some people.
• 35:56
  Like, I have long arms, so, like,
• 35:58
  I'm a slow handstand push-up person.
• 36:00
  Like, I'm short,
• 36:01
  but I actually probably
• 36:02
  have longer arms than most
• 36:04
  people on the field,
• 36:05
  which is why I can deadlift.
• 36:08
  So, like,
• 36:08
  I don't know if just structurally
• 36:10
  it's just something that's hard to fix.
• 36:12
  Like, any type of strict movement,
• 36:14
  it takes a lot of work to
• 36:16
  get better at any type of
• 36:17
  strict movement.
• 36:24
  I think the last thing I
• 36:24
  want to ask you about, Rogue,
• 36:27
  because we've talked about it a lot.
• 36:27
  You've been in the chat a
• 36:28
  little bit with us in the wrap-up shows.
• 36:33
  There's been this stink all
• 36:34
  week about what Laura said
• 36:37
  about the European crowd
• 36:39
  being better than the U.S.
• 36:41
  crowd.
• 36:43
  And I thought you made a great point.
• 36:44
  The baseball stadium is not
• 36:46
  conducive to like have a
• 36:48
  great loud crowd because it
• 36:50
  spreads out wide as you go
• 36:52
  down the baselines.
• 36:53
  So you're much further away
• 36:55
  from the field of play than
• 36:58
  you were in this nice small arena.
• 37:00
  And I said over and over
• 37:02
  again on the wrap-up shows,
• 37:03
  that's what CrossFit needs to look for.
• 37:05
  These smaller arenas that
• 37:07
  you can fill up and make
• 37:11
  more interesting as a viewer.
• 37:15
  Do you think that the crowd
• 37:17
  was that much different than the U.S.?
• 37:23
  I mean,
• 37:23
  I haven't seen many sold-out crowds
• 37:24
  in the U.S.
• 37:25
  besides the CrossFit Games,
• 37:26
  if I'm being honest.
• 37:28
  And at the CrossFit Games,
• 37:29
  you have people traveling from all over,
• 37:30
  but semifinals is...
• 37:33
  hasn't been as good as the European,
• 37:36
  as the Australian semifinals.
• 37:40
  But I don't think there's
• 37:40
  anything wrong with her comment.
• 37:42
  This is an athlete that is from Europe.
• 37:45
  Europe has not had any major
• 37:48
  international competition
• 37:50
  like this where they've
• 37:51
  been able to host.
• 37:53
  She's proud that they finally got here.
• 37:56
  She wants to show that like,
• 37:57
  this is a place that they
• 37:58
  can come to and that the
• 38:01
  European crowd is going to
• 38:02
  show up and it's not a
• 38:04
  waste of an investment.
• 38:05
  Right.
• 38:06
  So I think that like,
• 38:10
  I don't think anything was
• 38:11
  necessarily directed like
• 38:15
  negatively at like the USA crowd,
• 38:18
  but it's more like we have
• 38:20
  it here going on.
• 38:21
  We've had it here going on.
• 38:23
  You guys are finally getting to see it.
• 38:27
  And they've been waiting
• 38:28
  years for this to happen.
• 38:30
  What's that?
• 38:31
  Take her out of the equation.
• 38:32
  The broadcast repeatedly was
• 38:35
  talking about how it was
• 38:37
  the best crowd they'd seen.
• 38:38
  And us on the broadcast can't tell.
• 38:41
  Yeah.
• 38:42
  Right?
• 38:42
  We have no idea.
• 38:45
  It's just frustrating
• 38:46
  because I think back to
• 38:49
  semifinals in Pasadena,
• 38:50
  which was in an abandoned
• 38:52
  strip mall or a grocery
• 38:54
  store with pillars in the
• 38:55
  middle of the floor.
• 38:56
  You couldn't even see people.
• 39:00
  We've never in the U.S.
• 39:02
  put it in a place that fits
• 39:04
  what CrossFit is.
• 39:07
  We're throwing it in the
• 39:09
  square peg in the round hole.
• 39:11
  for a venue.
• 39:13
  The only thing close to it
• 39:14
  would be Knoxville,
• 39:16
  which is just a weird place to get to.
• 39:22
  I mean,
• 39:22
  I thought the crowd was great and I
• 39:24
  liked that they stuck
• 39:25
  around and they weren't
• 39:26
  just there for the cross
• 39:27
  that they were there for the strong man.
• 39:28
  They were there for the strong woman.
• 39:30
  Um,
• 39:32
  yeah, it was, it was a great,
• 39:34
  it was a great place.
• 39:36
  And, um,
• 39:37
  I wouldn't be surprised to see it
• 39:38
  go back there again, another year.
• 39:40
  The only thing is like, if you,
• 39:42
  if you stay at the same location,
• 39:43
  people that are like really
• 39:44
  made that trip or like, Oh,
• 39:46
  I made the trip.
• 39:47
  I'm I've seen it.
• 39:48
  I don't need to go back again,
• 39:49
  which is why it's almost
• 39:50
  like nice for it to go to other cities.
• 39:53
  Although the location was
• 39:55
  great because like there
• 39:55
  was two hotels that were within.
• 39:58
  Ten seconds walking of there.
• 40:00
  Um,
• 40:02
  So it made it easy to just
• 40:04
  go back and forth.
• 40:07
  I think they want to keep it
• 40:09
  at an English-speaking
• 40:12
  country in terms of just
• 40:13
  facilitating for the North
• 40:17
  American athletes.
• 40:18
  So I think something like
• 40:19
  Scotland or in the UK is
• 40:21
  what you'll see probably
• 40:25
  maybe in the next couple years.
• 40:28
  The actual venue was beautiful.
• 40:31
  Um, it did everything they needed to do,
• 40:34
  but yeah, I was just,
• 40:34
  I was just happy that
• 40:36
  Europe finally got a chance to, to host,
• 40:39
  um, to host an event.
• 40:41
  Cause they've been,
• 40:42
  they've been needing that.
• 40:43
  I would love to see it go to
• 40:44
  Australia at some point.
• 40:46
  Obviously that's a huge, huge, uh,
• 40:49
  flight for, um, many of the people,
• 40:52
  but I mean, that crowd,
• 40:53
  that crowd's always crazy.
• 40:56
  And eventually like South America,
• 40:58
  like when I went to compete in Brazil,
• 41:01
  the one year for sanctionals,
• 41:03
  it was crazy over there.
• 41:05
  So I don't want to sound like sour grapes.
• 41:07
  I just think that for the
• 41:09
  first time in a long time,
• 41:10
  a CrossFit competition was right sized.
• 41:13
  Like the venue was the right
• 41:14
  size for the competition.
• 41:17
  And I don't think we've done
• 41:18
  a very good job of that at
• 41:20
  all in this country.
• 41:24
  And it's because I think
• 41:25
  we've also had the games.
• 41:28
  So people often are like, oh,
• 41:29
  let me skip the semifinal
• 41:30
  so I can go to the games.
• 41:33
  You know,
• 41:33
  and we've had those major
• 41:35
  competitions forever.
• 41:36
  So people always have
• 41:37
  something else that they can go to.
• 41:40
  The options have just been
• 41:42
  way bigger in North America.
• 41:45
  So, yeah.
• 41:49
  Yeah.
• 41:49
  I mean,
• 41:50
  I heard John Woolley say one time
• 41:51
  that CrossFit should look
• 41:53
  at high school football stadiums,
• 41:56
  that that is the right size
• 41:57
  for a CrossFit competition.
• 41:59
  And I think that the CrossFit Games,
• 42:00
  had it not had the tragedy last year,
• 42:03
  the event in the football
• 42:04
  stadium was awesome.
• 42:07
  and and packed like I think
• 42:09
  that makes sense like that
• 42:11
  I think we're just um we're
• 42:13
  not right sizing the venue
• 42:16
  and and kudos to to rogue
• 42:18
  for doing that because I do
• 42:20
  think this was right sized
• 42:22
  and it had a cool effect
• 42:23
  because of it and it was
• 42:25
  awesome to watch and
• 42:26
  awesome to look at wasn't
• 42:28
  rogue at in columbus wasn't
• 42:31
  that like packed it was yeah it was
• 42:36
  but it was inside the factory.
• 42:37
  Like I don't, it,
• 42:41
  it was probably even small.
• 42:42
  It was,
• 42:43
  it was probably half the size
• 42:46
  indoors as this venue,
• 42:48
  but they also had an
• 42:49
  outdoor venue that was packed as well.
• 42:52
  Right.
• 42:55
  So, um,
• 42:57
  that was one of my favorite
• 42:58
  competitions to ever attend.
• 43:00
  Like there wasn't a bad seat
• 43:02
  in the house at either location either.
• 43:07
  Yeah, no, I mean, I love the competition.
• 43:11
  I think there's a couple
• 43:13
  workouts I would have liked
• 43:14
  to have seen the time cap
• 43:16
  one minute extra that second day.
• 43:22
  Obviously, the duel was...
• 43:26
  sad for, you know,
• 43:28
  just heartbreaking for those athletes.
• 43:31
  Because those top three on
• 43:32
  the female side were putting on a show.
• 43:35
  Like there was such a big
• 43:37
  gap between those three and
• 43:39
  the rest of the field.
• 43:41
  I still think Laura would
• 43:42
  have pulled away from Gabby
• 43:44
  with those events that were left,
• 43:45
  but it was exciting to see those battles.
• 43:48
  I think this was the best
• 43:49
  competition I've seen Laura look.
• 43:51
  Tia doesn't lose very often,
• 43:53
  and to lose four events in a row to Laura,
• 43:55
  it was like, whoa.
• 43:57
  I didn't even care about the overall score,
• 43:58
  just all the ones on, for one,
• 44:01
  all the ones on the other one.
• 44:03
  It was like the last event.
• 44:04
  We knew Tia was going to win the overall,
• 44:06
  but it was just like,
• 44:08
  who's going to win five,
• 44:10
  who's going to win five.
• 44:11
  And the other one's going to get four.
• 44:12
  Um,
• 44:13
  I thought Jeff looked phenomenal as you
• 44:15
  know,
• 44:16
  we didn't get to see him at the games.
• 44:18
  He looked great.
• 44:20
  Um,
• 44:20
  popular had a great competition on the
• 44:22
  men's side.
• 44:23
  There was a few people
• 44:24
  fighting for that third place.
• 44:26
  Brent obviously looked, um, great,
• 44:28
  happy for him to finish off
• 44:30
  his career that way.
• 44:32
  Um, happy for Ariel to get on that podium.
• 44:34
  There was a lot of great stories.
• 44:36
  Um,
• 44:38
  Yeah,
• 44:38
  mostly just that second day was a
• 44:40
  tough day.
• 44:43
  It rebounded back on the third day,
• 44:44
  but the two workouts with a
• 44:47
  lot of the time caps
• 44:48
  followed by the duel that
• 44:50
  had the two incidents,
• 44:53
  that one was a more difficult day.
• 44:56
  Do you have thoughts on
• 44:59
  rebounding and whether that
• 45:00
  should be allowed or not?
• 45:03
  I mean,
• 45:03
  I come from so many sports background.
• 45:06
  I bound all the time in training.
• 45:09
  If you watch any of my training videos,
• 45:11
  like I'm constantly doing it.
• 45:14
  Um,
• 45:17
  I like bounding.
• 45:18
  I think it's like Danielle
• 45:20
  is the most athletic one in that field.
• 45:22
  She would have been heads
• 45:23
  like way ahead of everyone
• 45:24
  had she bounded or not bounded.
• 45:26
  She's always been good at
• 45:28
  burpee box jump overs and
• 45:29
  get overs and stuff like that.
• 45:31
  And then it just made it look even faster,
• 45:35
  obviously, when she was bounding.
• 45:36
  I don't think you needed to
• 45:37
  bounce or to bound to win that event,
• 45:39
  though.
• 45:42
  It definitely helped to get
• 45:43
  a little bit of a lead,
• 45:44
  but you didn't need to
• 45:45
  bound to get a really fast score.
• 45:49
  I heard an interesting take
• 45:52
  on Around the Whiteboard,
• 45:55
  and it was Sam Briggs' coach.
• 45:59
  Why is his name escaping me right now?
• 46:06
  he was saying that there are
• 46:08
  that you should be you need
• 46:10
  to test plyometrics as part
• 46:12
  of fitness it's like we
• 46:13
  won't do sprinting we can't
• 46:15
  do sprints all of a sudden
• 46:16
  because people are going to
• 46:16
  rip their hammies well
• 46:17
  that's you know what speed
• 46:18
  is a part of fitness you
• 46:19
  got to be fast like that should be tested
• 46:22
  there are athletes that are
• 46:26
  springier and bouncier than others,
• 46:28
  right?
• 46:28
  And he goes,
• 46:30
  I don't think this would happen to Guy.
• 46:33
  He's just too springy and bendy.
• 46:36
  That's just who he is, right?
• 46:39
  But you look at Heinrich,
• 46:40
  and he is a stiffer athlete.
• 46:43
  And this was his opinion.
• 46:44
  This is not mine.
• 46:45
  He was saying that just looking at him,
• 46:47
  he is a stiffer athlete,
• 46:49
  and you can kind of tell.
• 46:54
  But anyway,
• 46:55
  it was just a really
• 46:56
  interesting conversation.
• 46:59
  I wonder if a lot of these
• 47:01
  athletes don't have
• 47:02
  sporting backgrounds anymore.
• 47:04
  Like a lot of them don't.
• 47:05
  They just specialize in CrossFit.
• 47:08
  And now that we haven't had
• 47:09
  bounding because it's all
• 47:11
  been stepped down,
• 47:11
  like I just wonder how much
• 47:13
  people are actually
• 47:14
  maintaining in their
• 47:15
  training at some point some bounding.
• 47:19
  Like in my opinion,
• 47:21
  we should be able to do five reps.
• 47:27
  I know it's from a very high surface,
• 47:29
  but I think that people
• 47:30
  still need to – I mean,
• 47:32
  if it's going to happen,
• 47:33
  it's going to happen.
• 47:34
  People could have torn just
• 47:36
  sprinting forward towards the sled.
• 47:41
  You've seen people – last year,
• 47:42
  I think it was one of the
• 47:43
  Niners or one of the
• 47:45
  football players was just
• 47:46
  running from off the field to the field,
• 47:48
  and boom, it popped.
• 47:50
  Yep.
• 47:50
  Like, it often happens in, like,
• 47:53
  a rebounding change of direction, which,
• 47:56
  you know, they had there.
• 47:58
  But they got to support
• 47:59
  their arms a little bit, like,
• 48:00
  to their bound, where it wasn't as much.
• 48:02
  Like,
• 48:02
  you're not jumping fifty-five inches
• 48:06
  fully down, rebounding back.
• 48:11
  I don't know.
• 48:11
  It's hard.
• 48:14
  It's hard to tell no bounding ever.
• 48:17
  There's so much bounding across it.
• 48:19
  Where does it stop?
• 48:21
  Or just in athleticism in general,
• 48:23
  people will be like, oh, well,
• 48:24
  you don't need to test
• 48:25
  bounding to test fitness.
• 48:26
  But it's still part of a race.
• 48:32
  I don't know.
• 48:35
  If people have that in their repertoire,
• 48:38
  why are you limiting them
• 48:39
  to being able to do that?
• 48:42
  I didn't bound when I tested it.
• 48:45
  but I was very fast going
• 48:47
  over and probably as
• 48:49
  competitive with any of those scores.
• 48:52
  But like, I'm fast on, on, on the overs,
• 48:55
  but like,
• 48:55
  it didn't even occur to me to bound.
• 48:57
  I could have,
• 48:59
  I didn't even think about it
• 49:00
  just cause I'm, I'm smaller,
• 49:01
  but I don't know.
• 49:03
  Like I just, I trained all the time.
• 49:06
  I don't even think about it.
• 49:08
  You're always going to have
• 49:09
  soft tissue injuries in sports.
• 49:11
  It's just going to happen.
• 49:13
  You, as much as you try to prevent it,
• 49:15
  it's always going to happen.
• 49:17
  And at some point the
• 49:18
  athlete has to make the decision.
• 49:20
  It does this work for me or not.
• 49:23
  And yeah.
• 49:25
  But like it really started
• 49:26
  with Daniel Brandon that was bounding,
• 49:28
  right?
• 49:28
  Like she's someone who is an
• 49:32
  athlete on the field.
• 49:33
  Like she has done a lot of sports.
• 49:35
  She's one of the rare
• 49:38
  athletes that we have in CrossFit.
• 49:40
  She is.
• 49:40
  Like there's not many pure
• 49:41
  athletes in CrossFit.
• 49:42
  She's one of them.
• 49:43
  So when you take a movement
• 49:45
  that's already good for her
• 49:47
  and then she bounds and
• 49:49
  looks and makes everyone
• 49:51
  look like turtles out there,
• 49:53
  people are going to be like,
• 49:54
  I got to do that, too.
• 49:55
  But even if they did do that,
• 49:56
  they're still not.
• 49:57
  They still weren't even
• 49:58
  close to Daniel Brandon.
• 50:00
  She was still so much faster
• 50:01
  because she's she's springy.
• 50:04
  So I can relate.
• 50:05
  She would lose.
• 50:06
  She would lose it on this on the sled.
• 50:08
  The comment I can relate to
• 50:09
  the most is when I played
• 50:10
  college basketball, I had a huge vertical,
• 50:12
  but in my old age, I'll be stepping down.
• 50:16
  That's Larry young.
• 50:18
  Yeah.
• 50:18
  I mean, I think,
• 50:19
  I don't think the masters
• 50:20
  need to like pass a certain point,
• 50:23
  but at the same, at the same time,
• 50:26
  don't tell me how to race.
• 50:32
  If you have it in you, like it's going to,
• 50:34
  I don't know if it's going to happen.
• 50:35
  It's going to happen.
• 50:38
  That is my opinion.
• 50:40
  It sucks.
• 50:43
  And I don't know if there
• 50:43
  was a previous injury to
• 50:45
  Gabby's calf that people talked about.
• 50:47
  I don't know whether that's true or not.
• 50:48
  It's horrible what happened.
• 50:53
  Obviously, with two happening, you're like,
• 50:54
  was it badly programmed?
• 50:56
  Or was it just... Two people
• 51:01
  tearing Achilles.
• 51:02
  It happens when it's going to happen.
• 51:05
  Yeah, it's just sad, but...
• 51:07
  And the other thing is, Carolyn,
• 51:09
  you know the risk-reward, right?
• 51:11
  If you're going to bound and that pops,
• 51:13
  you know it's eight months.
• 51:16
  Probably less than that, but yeah.
• 51:18
  Yeah, I'm just going by Chelsea Nicholas,
• 51:20
  who just went through the recovery.
• 51:22
  And yeah, you can come back in a year,
• 51:24
  but it's not right for eight months.
• 51:27
  Yeah.
• 51:30
  So, but anyway.
• 51:36
  But it could have happened
• 51:37
  even in the burpee overs.
• 51:39
  Even in the burpees,
• 51:40
  as they land and come back,
• 51:41
  it could have literally
• 51:43
  happened there with how
• 51:44
  fast they were going.
• 51:46
  You're coming down from a high... Again,
• 51:52
  I train...
• 51:55
  all the time,
• 51:56
  like my whole life weighted
• 51:58
  depth drops where you just, you know,
• 52:01
  you depth drop and then you
• 52:02
  explode from there,
• 52:03
  like from different heights.
• 52:05
  It's like,
• 52:06
  I don't know what type of
• 52:07
  background training people
• 52:08
  have to really like solidify more,
• 52:14
  I guess your Achilles, but if it's,
• 52:15
  but some of the best
• 52:16
  athletes can tear it too.
• 52:17
  Like it's just, it's meant to go.
• 52:19
  Sometimes it's meant to go.
• 52:21
  So I want to address this from CrossFat.
• 52:22
  I think losing players to
• 52:23
  injuries for a long term is still bad.
• 52:25
  Like, we may not get that Gabby again.
• 52:27
  I don't think that is the case.
• 52:30
  With the way medical...
• 52:33
  medical technology is today,
• 52:34
  recovering from an Achilles
• 52:36
  tendon should actually make
• 52:38
  you stronger afterwards.
• 52:41
  Because over time,
• 52:42
  your Achilles tendon stretches.
• 52:45
  This actually tightens it
• 52:46
  back up and makes it new.
• 52:48
  And once you're past eighteen months,
• 52:50
  it is as secure as a brand new Achilles.
• 52:54
  But even in the step down,
• 52:55
  like William Leahy, you know,
• 52:57
  the step down,
• 52:58
  he would step down and just kind of
• 53:00
  it's still type of,
• 53:01
  it's still a kind of
• 53:02
  bounding and he tore it
• 53:04
  there and people will say, Oh,
• 53:05
  well he was jumping from the rope.
• 53:07
  I mean,
• 53:07
  he didn't do it when he jumped from
• 53:08
  the rope.
• 53:09
  He did it with his little box movement,
• 53:12
  not from the rope,
• 53:13
  like stuff just happens.
• 53:16
  And he comes and he's a
• 53:17
  great athlete and he was
• 53:18
  great explosive power, um,
• 53:20
  basketball player.
• 53:21
  It's like, it just,
• 53:24
  so where does it stop I
• 53:25
  think I'm going to say it
• 53:26
  again um if you go to three
• 53:29
  two one md dot com uh that
• 53:32
  is sean rocket he is the uh
• 53:34
  medical person for the
• 53:35
  crossfit games he actually
• 53:37
  did an episode on how
• 53:39
  achilles ruptures happen um
• 53:43
  and he actually was in the
• 53:44
  chat with some of the stuff
• 53:45
  that happened at rogue and
• 53:47
  talked about it a lot of it
• 53:48
  is to do with your foot angle
• 53:51
  when you land.
• 53:52
  But he actually walks
• 53:53
  through it step by step.
• 53:55
  And if you want to know more about this,
• 53:56
  it's a great resource to go
• 53:58
  check out for this because
• 54:02
  he is an orthopedic surgeon
• 54:04
  and has probably repaired
• 54:06
  Achilles in the past.
• 54:07
  So with that.
• 54:12
  So there was that.
• 54:14
  And the other thing,
• 54:15
  my only other complaint with the dual,
• 54:17
  my bigger complaint with
• 54:18
  the dual was the wait time.
• 54:22
  And I love the format of the duel.
• 54:24
  I love the head-to-heads almost,
• 54:28
  like five people heats.
• 54:30
  I think that's awesome.
• 54:31
  But the wait times for a
• 54:36
  thirty-five second event
• 54:38
  are just getting to be too big.
• 54:40
  It was better this year than last year.
• 54:43
  But I think that if you're
• 54:45
  going to continue to do these,
• 54:46
  we've got to find a way to
• 54:48
  shrink that down.
• 54:49
  And I know there's appeals
• 54:50
  and I know there's all that stuff.
• 54:53
  But I think that is the
• 54:54
  thing that needs fixed the most.
• 54:56
  I thought they were faster
• 54:57
  this year between each, not,
• 55:00
  not between like the fit,
• 55:03
  but like going through the actual heats,
• 55:06
  if that makes sense, like of that round,
• 55:08
  that was much faster than,
• 55:10
  cause in the past year it was,
• 55:11
  it was not only slow at, at between the.
• 55:14
  But it was also slow between those.
• 55:17
  So those were good.
• 55:19
  Um, yeah, still a little bit long between.
• 55:23
  I get, they want recovery time.
• 55:25
  Um,
• 55:26
  and they don't want to smash the
• 55:27
  athletes as well.
• 55:28
  That's one thing is like, they,
• 55:30
  they don't want the
• 55:31
  athletes that are moving on
• 55:32
  to be at such a
• 55:33
  disadvantage for the weekend.
• 55:35
  To keep going.
• 55:37
  I think they could get rid
• 55:38
  of that round of fifteen.
• 55:39
  I think you can go from twenty to ten.
• 55:42
  At least twenty to ten.
• 55:44
  And then maybe if you want
• 55:44
  to go five to get rid of at
• 55:46
  least one round.
• 55:48
  Um, yeah.
• 55:50
  I think it would be, I mean,
• 55:51
  it wouldn't be called the dual,
• 55:52
  but I still think the
• 55:54
  twenty ten five would be just enough.
• 55:58
  Just long enough right there
• 56:00
  where you're not crushing them.
• 56:03
  Volume wise for making it further,
• 56:05
  it's still exciting.
• 56:06
  They get three times to come back through.
• 56:08
  I think that's the that would be,
• 56:12
  in my opinion, the winning recipe.
• 56:20
  that event was fun to do
• 56:21
  that was my favorite one to
• 56:22
  test yeah I could see that
• 56:28
  yeah I would like that as
• 56:30
  well um any other final
• 56:34
  thoughts from either of you
• 56:35
  from rogue that you thought
• 56:36
  about in the past week um
• 56:40
  and again like I just want
• 56:41
  to make it clear I'm not
• 56:42
  dogging on european um
• 56:45
  crowds I'm just I don't
• 56:47
  think we in the us have
• 56:48
  done a very good job
• 56:50
  either marketing or right sizing events.
• 56:59
  Yeah.
• 56:59
  I mean,
• 56:59
  I just want to say thank you to
• 57:02
  Katie and Bill for
• 57:02
  continuing to put this on for,
• 57:05
  for the athletes.
• 57:06
  And, um, I mean, even like,
• 57:10
  they're always up for feedback as well.
• 57:12
  Like they're,
• 57:12
  they're open to feedback on everything.
• 57:14
  They,
• 57:15
  The fact that they even
• 57:16
  changed the workout middle
• 57:17
  of the competition is great as well.
• 57:20
  You don't see that very often.
• 57:23
  but yeah, to provide the app,
• 57:24
  the athletes with hotels and, um,
• 57:29
  their flights covered where
• 57:30
  athletes can just go out
• 57:31
  there and compete and not
• 57:33
  just the CrossFitters, but the strong man,
• 57:35
  having the strong woman
• 57:36
  there was a huge addition.
• 57:39
  Um,
• 57:39
  I didn't know any of them really before.
• 57:41
  I think I knew one of the
• 57:42
  Canadian girls and
• 57:43
  obviously some of the men, but, um,
• 57:48
  Yeah, it was different to follow them.
• 57:51
  I think a field of ten,
• 57:51
  you got to see a lot.
• 57:54
  You got to see those
• 57:55
  athletes and kind of get to
• 57:56
  know them throughout the
• 57:57
  competition because it was a small field.
• 58:01
  So I thought that was cool
• 58:01
  that they got paid the exact same.
• 58:04
  And I think that's a great
• 58:06
  platform that Rogue
• 58:07
  provided them that weekend.
• 58:09
  So super happy for them and
• 58:12
  happy that the athletes got
• 58:13
  to have a great competition.
• 58:17
  Question from Justin Sun.
• 58:18
  Are you competing in twenty twenty five,
• 58:20
  Carolyn?
• 58:23
  Like the game season or just
• 58:24
  like in general?
• 58:25
  Yeah, yeah,
• 58:26
  I'm competing Masters and Indy.
• 58:29
  I get I get two routes.
• 58:36
  Lex says they take care of
• 58:38
  everything for the athletes.
• 58:40
  And the legends, too.
• 58:42
  The athletes are very relaxed,
• 58:45
  seem to be having a good time.
• 58:46
  I think, one,
• 58:48
  it was good for the sport to
• 58:50
  just have a clean slate.
• 58:53
  They also had a great video
• 58:56
  tribute to Lazar before the
• 59:00
  competition started.
• 59:00
  I don't know if you guys saw
• 59:01
  it on the stream.
• 59:03
  Yeah.
• 59:03
  Or not.
• 59:04
  Yeah.
• 59:06
  It was much better than the games.
• 59:07
  So, I mean,
• 59:08
  that was much better than the games.
• 59:09
  And I thought that that was
• 59:11
  a nice addition to start the weekend off,
• 59:15
  you know, giving,
• 59:18
  giving space for people to, you know,
• 59:21
  rethink about what happened and yeah,
• 59:25
  for Lazar.
• 59:26
  And Justin came back in game season.
• 59:30
  Whatever that looks like.
• 59:32
  We should know soon.
• 59:36
  Will we?
• 59:42
  Who knows?
• 59:42
  The PFAA this week held
• 59:44
  board elections for their athlete board.
• 59:47
  The people that were up for
• 59:48
  either a yes or no vote
• 59:50
  were Christina Leviticus.
• 59:55
  Danielle Brandon, Jake Douglas,
• 59:57
  Yella Hosta, Patrick Vellner,
• 59:59
  and Victoria Campos.
• 1:00:02
  And I think they have until
• 1:00:04
  the end of this week, maybe,
• 1:00:06
  or sometime midweek this
• 1:00:07
  week to get your votes in.
• 1:00:13
  And they've been doing a
• 1:00:15
  pretty good job of putting
• 1:00:17
  out material of how their voting works.
• 1:00:22
  They put out an Instagram post.
• 1:00:24
  I'll share it real quick, just showing.
• 1:00:31
  This is their.
• 1:00:34
  How their board gets elected.
• 1:00:37
  There's eligible voting members.
• 1:00:39
  Eligible voting members are invited.
• 1:00:41
  Then those voting members
• 1:00:42
  accept the invitation.
• 1:00:44
  And then they elect the board of directors,
• 1:00:47
  which is the athlete board.
• 1:00:48
  And those are the candidates
• 1:00:50
  that I just listed off.
• 1:00:53
  The athlete board make the
• 1:00:54
  decisions to advance the
• 1:00:55
  PFA's mission and goals.
• 1:00:58
  And then the athlete board
• 1:00:59
  selects an executive
• 1:01:00
  committee to run the
• 1:01:01
  day-to-day operations.
• 1:01:04
  And that executive committee
• 1:01:05
  executes and facilitates
• 1:01:06
  communication to the voting members.
• 1:01:10
  So they're doing a lot of
• 1:01:11
  things like this to kind of
• 1:01:13
  explain their makeup,
• 1:01:16
  which I think is a good
• 1:01:17
  first step in helping us
• 1:01:23
  understand how they
• 1:01:27
  represent the athletes.
• 1:01:36
  Yeah,
• 1:01:37
  I've said that for a couple weeks now.
• 1:01:40
  I don't like that they don't include teams,
• 1:01:43
  masters,
• 1:01:45
  and semifinal athletes who are
• 1:01:47
  also affected by all of this stuff.
• 1:01:51
  But I was told in the chat a
• 1:01:54
  couple weeks ago that those
• 1:01:56
  are in the future plans,
• 1:01:59
  but they wanted to start small,
• 1:02:02
  get their feet wet, and then expand.
• 1:02:05
  so hopefully that is true
• 1:02:08
  and we will see that in the
• 1:02:10
  future um lex says there
• 1:02:16
  should be at least one or
• 1:02:17
  two for masters and team I
• 1:02:19
  do not disagree with you
• 1:02:24
  because they're at the same
• 1:02:25
  competitions sometimes uh
• 1:02:28
  and their safety concerns
• 1:02:30
  and competitive balance
• 1:02:32
  issues are the exact same
• 1:02:34
  as the elite athletes
• 1:02:36
  And there's, I would,
• 1:02:37
  I would argue that there's
• 1:02:38
  sometimes even more safety
• 1:02:40
  concerns at the master's
• 1:02:41
  division than there would
• 1:02:43
  be at the elite individual,
• 1:02:48
  especially at like the games.
• 1:02:50
  Like some of,
• 1:02:50
  some of the programming I've
• 1:02:51
  seen in the past for
• 1:02:54
  master's division inside their gym,
• 1:02:56
  where they don't have
• 1:02:57
  access to certain mats when
• 1:02:58
  they're falling from the rope,
• 1:03:00
  doing leg lifts at certain age.
• 1:03:02
  I'm like, Hmm.
• 1:03:03
  Or certain movements.
• 1:03:04
  Like,
• 1:03:05
  It would be nice for them to
• 1:03:06
  be represented, um, and you know,
• 1:03:14
  start thinking about additions for,
• 1:03:18
  for those divisions and
• 1:03:20
  maybe what the standards should be.
• 1:03:21
  And what about synchro rope
• 1:03:24
  climbs or worm work or that
• 1:03:27
  are all add dangers to things?
• 1:03:38
  Vice says,
• 1:03:39
  from someone who helped form a
• 1:03:41
  union at my job,
• 1:03:42
  it makes sense to start
• 1:03:43
  small and get on your feet
• 1:03:44
  before you include all
• 1:03:45
  groups and positions.
• 1:03:47
  That's what worked in my
• 1:03:48
  experience anyway.
• 1:03:51
  At this point,
• 1:03:51
  I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt,
• 1:03:53
  and hopefully we'll see
• 1:03:54
  expansion in the future.
• 1:04:00
  And she said we expanded to
• 1:04:01
  include more positions each
• 1:04:02
  year as we got more experience.
• 1:04:07
  So, okay, cool.
• 1:04:11
  Um,
• 1:04:13
  Emma Lawson announced that she is back
• 1:04:15
  to training CrossFit.
• 1:04:17
  Uh,
• 1:04:18
  she did that on Tik TOK and me as a
• 1:04:21
  fifty four year old man, um,
• 1:04:24
  had to do some digging to find that,
• 1:04:27
  but I did.
• 1:04:28
  Um,
• 1:04:30
  So I actually I do have a
• 1:04:31
  tick tock account where I
• 1:04:33
  put stuff up but here she
• 1:04:34
  is I'm going to go ahead
• 1:04:35
  and play her announcement
• 1:04:37
  she actually has like three
• 1:04:38
  or four more videos it
• 1:04:40
  looks like she's kind of
• 1:04:42
  logging this every day on tick tock.
• 1:04:45
  It's a big day.
• 1:04:46
  I'm going back to the CrossFit gym today.
• 1:04:49
  It's been about three months
• 1:04:52
  since I've done CrossFit.
• 1:04:53
  I just really needed to take
• 1:04:55
  a physical break,
• 1:04:56
  mostly a mental break from
• 1:04:59
  training that way.
• 1:05:00
  I'm feeling like I'm ready to go.
• 1:05:03
  Really nervous.
• 1:05:04
  I feel like it was really
• 1:05:05
  necessary for me to take that time off.
• 1:05:07
  You probably saw because I
• 1:05:08
  was posting some.
• 1:05:09
  I did like a lot of Pilates.
• 1:05:11
  I was running a lot more.
• 1:05:12
  I was doing some biking and
• 1:05:15
  just kind of like whatever I felt like.
• 1:05:16
  I was doing some other types
• 1:05:18
  of work like classes.
• 1:05:19
  And I feel like that was
• 1:05:20
  just a really good reset for me.
• 1:05:23
  I'm excited to try and get back.
• 1:05:26
  Today I'm doing more of like slow work.
• 1:05:28
  I'm doing my slaps, bar my slaps,
• 1:05:30
  doing my fingers crossed.
• 1:05:32
  It's been a hot minute so
• 1:05:34
  we'll see how it goes.
• 1:05:35
  I think it's really
• 1:05:37
  necessary when you're
• 1:05:38
  getting to a point of it's
• 1:05:40
  not fun anymore or you're
• 1:05:42
  just really struggling
• 1:05:43
  through it and you're not
• 1:05:44
  enjoying it anymore and
• 1:05:46
  maybe you're noticing
• 1:05:47
  you're doing it for the
• 1:05:48
  wrong reasons it's really
• 1:05:49
  important to recognize that
• 1:05:51
  and it took me a long time
• 1:05:52
  to be able to actually
• 1:05:53
  recognize that but
• 1:05:55
  recognizing it is the start
• 1:05:56
  and then kind of doing
• 1:05:57
  something about that so for
• 1:05:59
  me that was taking a little
• 1:06:00
  bit of a step back so that
• 1:06:02
  I can try and find the joy
• 1:06:05
  for it again because I
• 1:06:06
  really do love doing
• 1:06:07
  crossfit I love competing I
• 1:06:08
  love pushing myself in that
• 1:06:09
  way and just the variety of
• 1:06:11
  movements that we get to do
• 1:06:14
  So that is about half of it.
• 1:06:16
  She goes on and there's even
• 1:06:18
  some parts after her
• 1:06:19
  workout where she missed some muscle ups.
• 1:06:22
  She says that it's a process.
• 1:06:25
  But as you can see,
• 1:06:26
  there's like four more videos.
• 1:06:30
  And these three are all
• 1:06:31
  about her training.
• 1:06:34
  So go check her out on TikTok.
• 1:06:37
  It looks like she's going to
• 1:06:38
  daily blog this thing,
• 1:06:40
  her comeback into it.
• 1:06:42
  And hopefully she does find
• 1:06:43
  the joy because she is so uber talented.
• 1:06:46
  Yeah, I mean, she started CrossFit,
• 1:06:48
  I think, when she was, like,
• 1:06:50
  seven or something years old.
• 1:06:52
  And I think she's done
• 1:06:53
  CrossFit longer than I have,
• 1:06:55
  which is crazy.
• 1:06:57
  So I think it's good that she finally,
• 1:07:00
  you know,
• 1:07:01
  recognized that she was probably
• 1:07:03
  burnt out, didn't love it as much anymore,
• 1:07:06
  and took this off-season for herself.
• 1:07:10
  She did a high rock.
• 1:07:11
  She did, I think,
• 1:07:11
  a half marathon with Jack.
• 1:07:16
  just exploring other things
• 1:07:17
  before getting back into
• 1:07:18
  more structured CrossFit.
• 1:07:20
  And hopefully, yep.
• 1:07:23
  And hopefully she, you know,
• 1:07:25
  doing the Jamie training
• 1:07:27
  gets back to loving it.
• 1:07:28
  And if she doesn't,
• 1:07:29
  then she knows that there's
• 1:07:30
  other outlets out there and
• 1:07:33
  ways to stay fit.
• 1:07:34
  Like she's been doing the
• 1:07:34
  Pilates and stuff like that.
• 1:07:36
  And you don't have to do CrossFit to,
• 1:07:39
  you know,
• 1:07:41
  to compete and stuff like that too.
• 1:07:42
  Yeah.
• 1:07:44
  Yeah, you know,
• 1:07:46
  in the last few years we've lost Mal,
• 1:07:48
  Emma, and Emma.
• 1:07:50
  Emma still has not missed a game season,
• 1:07:52
  so I shouldn't even put her in there.
• 1:07:54
  But Emma Carey, Mal, O'Brien,
• 1:07:58
  and Haley for a minute, but she's back.
• 1:08:00
  So hopefully they can find the joy again.
• 1:08:02
  It looks like Emma Carey is as well.
• 1:08:05
  We haven't heard from her, but, yeah,
• 1:08:08
  I think this is –
• 1:08:10
  I think kids should be doing
• 1:08:12
  this stuff anyway.
• 1:08:14
  And I think she may have
• 1:08:15
  missed out on it by
• 1:08:16
  starting CrossFit so young
• 1:08:18
  and becoming so good so fast.
• 1:08:22
  So another thing that
• 1:08:24
  happened this weekend is
• 1:08:25
  the Belgrade Games.
• 1:08:26
  So I'm going to go ahead and
• 1:08:27
  pull up their Instagram as
• 1:08:29
  they announce the top three
• 1:08:31
  in their divisions.
• 1:08:33
  And this was Luka Jukic's
• 1:08:36
  first time back in
• 1:08:38
  competition since the games.
• 1:08:41
  So on the men's side,
• 1:08:43
  the winner was Moritz Fiebig.
• 1:08:45
  Bronislaw Olinkowicz was second.
• 1:08:47
  And Luka ended up coming in third.
• 1:08:50
  So congratulations to those men.
• 1:08:54
  I tuned in to Be Friendly's
• 1:08:55
  live stream a little bit on IG.
• 1:08:58
  Man, they've got the high def down.
• 1:09:01
  It was really clear this weekend.
• 1:09:05
  It's still tough trying to
• 1:09:06
  figure out who's who with
• 1:09:08
  like a single cam kind of thing, but...
• 1:09:12
  I applaud them for doing
• 1:09:15
  this and letting us have
• 1:09:17
  the opportunity to watch more CrossFit.
• 1:09:20
  At some points,
• 1:09:21
  they had like eight hundred
• 1:09:22
  people live on their stream.
• 1:09:25
  She did a great job and they
• 1:09:28
  would put the workouts at
• 1:09:29
  the bottom for people to see,
• 1:09:31
  which is really important.
• 1:09:32
  They even had some score,
• 1:09:35
  some scores go up at some
• 1:09:36
  point in the one workout today.
• 1:09:39
  that was like max reps in
• 1:09:40
  the remaining time and stuff.
• 1:09:42
  So I thought they did a great job
• 1:09:44
  And shows that you can do
• 1:09:46
  things at smaller scale
• 1:09:50
  competitions and still get
• 1:09:52
  people involved into
• 1:09:54
  watching and being fans.
• 1:09:56
  The reality is CrossFit is
• 1:09:58
  still a grassroots thing, right?
• 1:10:02
  And the stream can be grassroots.
• 1:10:04
  We got spoiled with high-end
• 1:10:08
  production of some of the
• 1:10:09
  big events because the
• 1:10:11
  owner of CrossFit wanted to
• 1:10:12
  do that back in the day.
• 1:10:14
  We need to do more of this,
• 1:10:19
  and Brian's doing a great job.
• 1:10:20
  Did you watch the finale and
• 1:10:26
  their Lazar tribute and
• 1:10:30
  even for the podium?
• 1:10:33
  I watched a little bit of
• 1:10:33
  the females I did not watch
• 1:10:36
  because it was right during
• 1:10:37
  the Bears game.
• 1:10:38
  Yeah,
• 1:10:39
  Luca was emotional on the rower
• 1:10:40
  before starting.
• 1:10:43
  They had an announcement for Lazar.
• 1:10:46
  They put the chest piece up in lane five,
• 1:10:51
  gave him a big shout out there,
• 1:10:52
  and then they were beginning the workout.
• 1:10:54
  And then during the closing ceremony,
• 1:10:57
  they had Lazar at the
• 1:10:59
  forefront of this
• 1:11:00
  competition the entire weekend.
• 1:11:03
  It was a competition, too.
• 1:11:05
  And the last event was
• 1:11:07
  called the Lazar Workout.
• 1:11:08
  Yeah.
• 1:11:09
  Yeah, so.
• 1:11:12
  And on the women's side,
• 1:11:14
  we had Mathilde Garnes,
• 1:11:16
  one that Alisa Fuliano took second,
• 1:11:20
  and Jacqueline Dahlstrom took third.
• 1:11:24
  All names we know from the
• 1:11:25
  CrossFit space as well, both sides.
• 1:11:30
  So, yeah, great that they all did well.
• 1:11:34
  And the first place winner
• 1:11:35
  got seven thousand euros.
• 1:11:37
  I don't know what that means,
• 1:11:38
  but kudos to them.
• 1:11:44
  There's a lot of good people that come.
• 1:11:47
  Luca was wearing Lazar's
• 1:11:48
  jersey from Dubai for Jackie Pro.
• 1:11:53
  Yeah,
• 1:11:53
  I probably would have been bawling in
• 1:11:55
  my desk chair watching that.
• 1:11:58
  But kudos to them.
• 1:12:00
  It looked like a great competition.
• 1:12:02
  The floor was awesome.
• 1:12:03
  And again,
• 1:12:05
  kudos to BeFriendly and their coverage.
• 1:12:08
  It was awesome.
• 1:12:15
  So there's that.
• 1:12:17
  And then High Rocks.
• 1:12:21
  There's all these people doing high rocks.
• 1:12:22
  Carolyn, you did one a few weeks ago.
• 1:12:25
  Lucy McGonigal and her sister did it.
• 1:12:27
  Jay Crouch and Maddie Sturt did one.
• 1:12:30
  Tia did one with James Newberry.
• 1:12:32
  Paige Powers is doing one
• 1:12:34
  while she's pregnant.
• 1:12:37
  Do you think the high rocks
• 1:12:38
  is just like a change of
• 1:12:39
  pace for these athletes,
• 1:12:41
  or do you think they're dabbling?
• 1:12:44
  I just think it's a less pressured,
• 1:12:46
  fun competition.
• 1:12:47
  A lot of these high-level athletes,
• 1:12:49
  you can't go to local comps
• 1:12:51
  and just compete a lot of
• 1:12:53
  times because you look like
• 1:12:54
  an asshole just going to
• 1:12:56
  beat up on all the locals.
• 1:12:59
  So I feel like this is a
• 1:13:00
  chance to just do something
• 1:13:02
  different with less pressure,
• 1:13:04
  and it's just fun.
• 1:13:05
  It's a good workout.
• 1:13:07
  Um,
• 1:13:08
  I don't think any of like most of these
• 1:13:10
  athletes that are dabbling
• 1:13:11
  there are thinking that
• 1:13:12
  they're going to be world champion in it.
• 1:13:15
  It's like, it's such a,
• 1:13:16
  a running specialization sport, um,
• 1:13:20
  while also needing to be fit on, on,
• 1:13:22
  on the stations.
• 1:13:23
  But I just think we have the
• 1:13:25
  background that it suits well,
• 1:13:26
  and it's just part of our training and.
• 1:13:29
  I think,
• 1:13:30
  I just think people are just
• 1:13:31
  dabbling for fun and it's like,
• 1:13:34
  I just did it for fun with
• 1:13:35
  my friend was not thinking
• 1:13:37
  we were going for any type
• 1:13:38
  of work record.
• 1:13:41
  Jamie, you've actually considered it,
• 1:13:42
  right?
• 1:13:43
  Because there's been times
• 1:13:45
  where CrossFit's getting so
• 1:13:46
  heavy that you feel like
• 1:13:48
  they're trying to push your
• 1:13:50
  type of athlete to the side.
• 1:13:52
  And you've confided in me
• 1:13:54
  that high rocks actually
• 1:13:56
  look like an alternative to that.
• 1:13:57
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:13:59
  Have you done one yet?
• 1:14:01
  I have not done one.
• 1:14:01
  I wanted to do Chicago this,
• 1:14:05
  that was this weekend.
• 1:14:07
  It's just, it's always,
• 1:14:09
  it fills up and I don't
• 1:14:10
  sign up soon enough.
• 1:14:11
  So I don't know.
• 1:14:13
  I don't even know when the
• 1:14:13
  next one that's close
• 1:14:14
  enough for me to do would be.
• 1:14:18
  I'm laughing at this comment
• 1:14:20
  that Lex wrote because I
• 1:14:24
  love Barbell Spin.
• 1:14:24
  He's always posting stuff.
• 1:14:26
  But I remember he posted my
• 1:14:29
  score with my friend who
• 1:14:30
  doesn't even train at all.
• 1:14:31
  And I was like, man,
• 1:14:33
  people don't need to know
• 1:14:33
  that I'm doing this competition.
• 1:14:35
  This is not even an important competition.
• 1:14:39
  He's looking up every single
• 1:14:41
  person that's doing it.
• 1:14:43
  It's like, okay,
• 1:14:44
  people are just doing it for fun too.
• 1:14:46
  Beck says, I don't know, Lex.
• 1:14:47
  I bought a spectator ticket
• 1:14:48
  for Tia's upcoming High
• 1:14:50
  Rocks event after he posted about it.
• 1:14:53
  So he sold a ticket.
• 1:14:56
  At least one.
• 1:14:58
  Justin Way says Vegas in February.
• 1:15:02
  Road trip.
• 1:15:04
  Yeah, that's not not a road trip for me.
• 1:15:07
  But Vegas usually isn't
• 1:15:08
  super expensive flight wise.
• 1:15:10
  I know.
• 1:15:10
  Yeah,
• 1:15:11
  that's what that's actually what I
• 1:15:13
  was thinking is cheap flights to Vegas.
• 1:15:15
  Yeah.
• 1:15:16
  we get we can get some
• 1:15:17
  really cheap ones here in
• 1:15:18
  columbus uh I'm gonna
• 1:15:21
  finish up with uh and and
• 1:15:24
  really the story is kind of
• 1:15:25
  hidden here but ariel lowen
• 1:15:27
  ended up killing taylor
• 1:15:28
  yesterday morning and
• 1:15:30
  winning fifteen hundred
• 1:15:30
  dollars in a workout that
• 1:15:32
  was uh toes fifteen toes to
• 1:15:35
  bar and nine snatches I
• 1:15:38
  actually thought about
• 1:15:38
  jamie when this first
• 1:15:39
  popped up I was so mad that
• 1:15:41
  we were leaving for what
• 1:15:43
  was I what was how many rounds of that
• 1:15:46
  It was six-minute AMRAP.
• 1:15:48
  I would like that.
• 1:15:50
  What was the weight?
• 1:15:51
  Eighty.
• 1:15:52
  I'd like that.
• 1:15:55
  So, Taylor got six plus one.
• 1:15:58
  Ariel got six plus six.
• 1:16:00
  Like an EMOM.
• 1:16:01
  Yeah.
• 1:16:02
  So, and Ariel, like,
• 1:16:05
  she didn't break until round five,
• 1:16:07
  I think, on the total bar.
• 1:16:08
  And her transitions were
• 1:16:11
  spectacular from the total
• 1:16:12
  bar to the snatch.
• 1:16:14
  Yeah.
• 1:16:15
  But there was a woman that
• 1:16:16
  called in from England, M.D.
• 1:16:20
  Gooch, who I actually met at the Masters.
• 1:16:24
  And she set such a blistering pace,
• 1:16:28
  but her clock shut off at
• 1:16:30
  the two thirty mark and she got confused.
• 1:16:34
  And because she got confused,
• 1:16:36
  then the guy started
• 1:16:37
  yelling things at her and
• 1:16:38
  made her even more confused.
• 1:16:41
  Yeah,
• 1:16:41
  she would have beat both of them by a
• 1:16:43
  mile.
• 1:16:45
  So she does always the
• 1:16:47
  online competition that I was doing,
• 1:16:48
  the fitness comps.
• 1:16:51
  And well, I mean,
• 1:16:53
  they went bankrupt and they
• 1:16:54
  haven't paid us for the last comp.
• 1:16:56
  That's another thing.
• 1:16:57
  And they never email this,
• 1:16:58
  but MD Gooch always does those.
• 1:17:01
  She has great toaster bars.
• 1:17:03
  That's one thing I remember from her.
• 1:17:05
  I don't know about the barbell cycling,
• 1:17:07
  but her toaster bars are great.
• 1:17:10
  There was this one workout.
• 1:17:11
  She smashed everyone on the toaster bars.
• 1:17:15
  And it was like a toaster
• 1:17:17
  bar and rowing workout.
• 1:17:18
  But her like she was doing
• 1:17:20
  fifty something on broken toaster bars.
• 1:17:23
  So her toaster bar looked awesome.
• 1:17:25
  But she is the only one that
• 1:17:26
  didn't go singles on the snatch.
• 1:17:30
  Ariel singles from the start,
• 1:17:33
  from the start, just super fast,
• 1:17:36
  like follow the bar down right back up.
• 1:17:39
  But MD Gooch went unbroken
• 1:17:42
  the first three or four rounds.
• 1:17:45
  How far behind was she?
• 1:17:47
  She was not behind.
• 1:17:48
  She was way ahead.
• 1:17:50
  And Taylor's over here.
• 1:17:50
  Like she didn't even do
• 1:17:52
  fifteen total bar and like
• 1:17:53
  having her do extra because
• 1:17:55
  he like isn't paying attention.
• 1:17:56
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:17:58
  Yeah.
• 1:17:59
  At the end,
• 1:18:00
  they made her do extra reps in
• 1:18:01
  the middle and then went
• 1:18:02
  back and watched the
• 1:18:03
  recording and found out
• 1:18:04
  they had screwed her over.
• 1:18:06
  But she only missed out by
• 1:18:08
  like two reps at the end.
• 1:18:10
  And they made her do like a
• 1:18:11
  bunch of extra in the middle.
• 1:18:12
  And this one was for fifteen hundred?
• 1:18:16
  What was that?
• 1:18:17
  This was fifteen hundred.
• 1:18:18
  She would have had it.
• 1:18:20
  Yeah, she would have had it.
• 1:18:21
  She's forty years old.
• 1:18:23
  Yeah, she's a master.
• 1:18:25
  She's very similar to me in
• 1:18:28
  like gymnastic stuff.
• 1:18:29
  She would have been Ariel too?
• 1:18:32
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:18:32
  Yeah.
• 1:18:34
  Crazy.
• 1:18:35
  Yeah.
• 1:18:35
  I was, I was,
• 1:18:36
  I remember being very
• 1:18:37
  impressed by her toast of ours.
• 1:18:38
  The one time I was like, damn, I was like,
• 1:18:40
  I got beat by, um, by this, like,
• 1:18:44
  I didn't really know her.
• 1:18:44
  I was like this master.
• 1:18:45
  It's like in the, like,
• 1:18:47
  I think she was in the
• 1:18:47
  thirty five to thirty nine this year,
• 1:18:49
  but she was like at the end of that one.
• 1:18:51
  Like she was like thirty eight,
• 1:18:52
  thirty nine.
• 1:18:53
  I was like, damn,
• 1:18:55
  I got smoked in this workout.
• 1:18:58
  But my question to you,
• 1:18:59
  I don't feel as bad now.
• 1:19:00
  If she was about to smoke Ariel,
• 1:19:01
  we're good.
• 1:19:02
  We're good.
• 1:19:06
  What I want to kind of talk
• 1:19:07
  about is having a
• 1:19:10
  forty-year-old Masters
• 1:19:11
  athlete come in and do that
• 1:19:13
  on a public-facing show
• 1:19:15
  with a thousand people watching.
• 1:19:19
  How do the Masters athletes
• 1:19:21
  capitalize on that?
• 1:19:23
  Because everybody's like,
• 1:19:24
  Masters athletes are like second fiddle,
• 1:19:29
  like double A or whatever.
• 1:19:31
  And sometimes they're not.
• 1:19:34
  At the end of the documentary,
• 1:19:38
  and this is a spoiler for tomorrow,
• 1:19:40
  so if you don't want to know,
• 1:19:41
  close yours.
• 1:19:42
  Mark Hutchinson looks in the
• 1:19:43
  camera and goes,
• 1:19:44
  let me ask you this question.
• 1:19:46
  If you went head to head, who is fitter?
• 1:19:49
  The game's fittest on earth
• 1:19:51
  or the Masters' thirty-five
• 1:19:53
  to thirty-nine fittest on earth?
• 1:19:57
  He said,
• 1:19:57
  I think it's a pretty damn close call.
• 1:20:02
  And it's only because it's Will Morad.
• 1:20:05
  And Will has competed at that level.
• 1:20:07
  And Will was on fire that
• 1:20:08
  weekend at Masters.
• 1:20:10
  And Will's beaten James
• 1:20:11
  probably many times in the past.
• 1:20:13
  Yeah.
• 1:20:15
  Yeah.
• 1:20:15
  I think this year,
• 1:20:16
  but not normally in other years.
• 1:20:20
  Like, I don't think who won it last year.
• 1:20:23
  Sam Dancer.
• 1:20:26
  I don't think he would be on the top.
• 1:20:31
  He's a great athlete.
• 1:20:31
  I don't think he would be in
• 1:20:33
  the top ten at the Games.
• 1:20:38
  Sam can't ever make it
• 1:20:39
  through the games for us to know.
• 1:20:40
  Yeah, healthy.
• 1:20:42
  That's the problem.
• 1:20:45
  Sam is a super fit dude and
• 1:20:46
  super strong dude,
• 1:20:48
  but he can't ever make it
• 1:20:49
  through a four-day
• 1:20:50
  competition for us to know
• 1:20:53
  how fit he actually is.
• 1:20:57
  But it was just an interesting question,
• 1:20:58
  especially this year, right?
• 1:21:00
  You have a new guy, James, who people...
• 1:21:03
  don't think truly is the fittest on earth.
• 1:21:05
  You have will, who was like on fire at the,
• 1:21:08
  at the masters games.
• 1:21:11
  Um, it was just an interesting,
• 1:21:13
  interesting thought.
• 1:21:14
  And,
• 1:21:14
  and we'll put up times that would be
• 1:21:16
  competitive with the elite
• 1:21:18
  athletes of the world.
• 1:21:19
  Well,
• 1:21:19
  we'll should be at the individual
• 1:21:21
  games typically.
• 1:21:22
  Like he got injured this
• 1:21:24
  year and wasn't able to
• 1:21:26
  finish out his season.
• 1:21:28
  Really like the way he wanted.
• 1:21:32
  Yeah.
• 1:21:34
  But with the way M.D.
• 1:21:35
  Gooch competed... That would
• 1:21:38
  have been cool if she beat
• 1:21:40
  both of them and whooped them.
• 1:21:42
  Well, the thing is,
• 1:21:44
  I don't know that... She
• 1:21:45
  was on way before Ariel.
• 1:21:47
  So if she would have won and
• 1:21:49
  defeated Taylor,
• 1:21:50
  I don't know that they
• 1:21:51
  would have continued and
• 1:21:52
  had more people try.
• 1:21:53
  So they always have in the past.
• 1:21:56
  Yeah,
• 1:21:56
  I mean... If one person can beat the
• 1:21:57
  time even more, then they get to win it.
• 1:22:02
  And maybe at that point,
• 1:22:03
  Ariel would have gone a
• 1:22:04
  little faster because she
• 1:22:05
  would have known a
• 1:22:06
  different number to beat.
• 1:22:07
  So we don't know.
• 1:22:09
  Yeah.
• 1:22:11
  But when you watch Em before
• 1:22:12
  she gets confused, like it was flawless.
• 1:22:19
  And to only be a couple reps
• 1:22:21
  behind with those mishaps,
• 1:22:23
  it's pretty good.
• 1:22:26
  So I dunno, it,
• 1:22:27
  it was just a fun
• 1:22:28
  conversation I thought to
• 1:22:29
  have because of how well
• 1:22:31
  she did and kudos,
• 1:22:32
  like applause to MD Gooch to,
• 1:22:35
  to do what she did.
• 1:22:36
  Kudos to Ariel too, for beating Taylor,
• 1:22:39
  fifteen hundred dollar paychecks.
• 1:22:40
  Pretty nice.
• 1:22:43
  Yup.
• 1:22:44
  So yeah, it was, uh,
• 1:22:47
  and she just had a good one
• 1:22:48
  from rogue too.
• 1:22:50
  Yeah.
• 1:22:52
  looked up those payouts it's
• 1:22:54
  that's not too shabby and
• 1:22:56
  to have your trip paid for
• 1:22:57
  yeah and the payout for
• 1:23:00
  third place I don't
• 1:23:01
  remember if rogue gives
• 1:23:02
  money for event wins two or
• 1:23:04
  like top threes I don't
• 1:23:08
  remember or just event wins
• 1:23:12
  uh clooney's we care about
• 1:23:14
  masters athletes
• 1:23:22
  Um, so anyway,
• 1:23:24
  I just thought that was interesting.
• 1:23:26
  Um, that's all we have for tonight.
• 1:23:28
  I do want to set up
• 1:23:29
  something for next week,
• 1:23:30
  but first make sure you
• 1:23:31
  like subscribe to the channel,
• 1:23:32
  hit that notifier.
• 1:23:33
  So, you know, when stuff comes out,
• 1:23:35
  don't forget all access
• 1:23:36
  comes out tomorrow at noon.
• 1:23:39
  And, um,
• 1:23:42
  and it will be fifty five minutes long.
• 1:23:43
  It's an awesome episode.
• 1:23:45
  I can't wait for you guys to see that.
• 1:23:47
  But next week we're going to
• 1:23:49
  play a game called Hall of Famer or not.
• 1:23:53
  And it's set up as to get in
• 1:23:55
  the Hall of Fame, you have to be special,
• 1:23:57
  right?
• 1:23:58
  It's not just that you're
• 1:23:59
  really good at something.
• 1:24:01
  You have to be the best of
• 1:24:02
  the best of the best, right?
• 1:24:06
  It's only like the top one
• 1:24:07
  or two percent in a league
• 1:24:09
  make it to the Hall of Fame.
• 1:24:11
  So what I'm going to do next week is
• 1:24:14
  is I'm going to put people's
• 1:24:15
  picture on a document,
• 1:24:16
  and I'm going to scroll up through it,
• 1:24:18
  and you guys are going to see them,
• 1:24:19
  and I want you to tell me
• 1:24:21
  yes or no Hall of Famer.
• 1:24:22
  And next week will be men,
• 1:24:24
  and the following week will be women.
• 1:24:27
  Okay.
• 1:24:28
  Retired athletes.
• 1:24:32
  The sport's so young,
• 1:24:33
  it'll probably be a mix.
• 1:24:34
  Yes.
• 1:24:37
  As they sit today, like for an example,
• 1:24:40
  Tia is still competing,
• 1:24:42
  but that is a no-brainer
• 1:24:44
  that she is going to be a Hall of Famer.
• 1:24:45
  Right.
• 1:24:46
  Right.
• 1:24:47
  Are you looking for a certain amount?
• 1:24:49
  Like, is it we have to name three?
• 1:24:51
  Do we have to name five?
• 1:24:53
  Or we just name who is?
• 1:24:56
  In my head right now, it's just who is.
• 1:24:57
  But I actually was thinking about,
• 1:24:59
  should I put a limit on you
• 1:25:01
  guys so that you don't
• 1:25:03
  allow too many people in the door?
• 1:25:05
  Yeah.
• 1:25:08
  I think we need a limit.
• 1:25:09
  I think we need a limit too.
• 1:25:13
  So, uh, so yeah,
• 1:25:14
  I think that'll be a fun game.
• 1:25:15
  We play next week.
• 1:25:19
  Um, and Kenneth is saying first ballot.
• 1:25:21
  I think in your arguments, you can say,
• 1:25:24
  I think they are a first ballot or, Hey,
• 1:25:27
  they should probably let
• 1:25:28
  some other people in first
• 1:25:30
  and they'd be a second or third ballot.
• 1:25:32
  Um,
• 1:25:34
  your argument but I for for
• 1:25:37
  this sake it's going to be
• 1:25:39
  they're all up for the hall
• 1:25:40
  of fame they're all on
• 1:25:42
  their first ballot should
• 1:25:44
  they be in or not and it'll
• 1:25:48
  be men next week and then
• 1:25:50
  we'll do women the
• 1:25:50
  following week and as lynn
• 1:25:52
  said ooh so we're gonna get
• 1:25:55
  to argue that's the point
• 1:25:59
  And if there's anybody that
• 1:26:00
  you think should be under
• 1:26:01
  consideration in the men's field,
• 1:26:03
  please put that in the comments.
• 1:26:05
  And I will consider that to
• 1:26:07
  put together the eligibility list.
• 1:26:10
  And then I will, John,
• 1:26:14
  we're talking about a limit.
• 1:26:16
  We'll come up with a limit.
• 1:26:17
  I think five, no more than five.
• 1:26:23
  I say three or five.
• 1:26:24
  Well,
• 1:26:25
  it depends on how many choices you have.
• 1:26:28
  Because I know, like,
• 1:26:30
  usually in a Hall of Fame,
• 1:26:31
  it's five per year,
• 1:26:33
  but the initial class gets
• 1:26:35
  more because you're making
• 1:26:36
  up for some time.
• 1:26:39
  Five.
• 1:26:40
  This is my game.
• 1:26:42
  My game.
• 1:26:43
  We'll see.
• 1:26:45
  I'll come up with something good.
• 1:26:51
  Kenneth asks,
• 1:26:52
  should there be a limit to
• 1:26:53
  Canadian athletes?
• 1:26:55
  Lynn says, nope, no limit on Canada.
• 1:27:05
  John, this is my game.
• 1:27:08
  You guys have your own show.
• 1:27:12
  How did Grid go?
• 1:27:14
  Was that this weekend that John competed?
• 1:27:18
  It was today.
• 1:27:20
  There was a finale or something, right?
• 1:27:22
  Did you compete, John?
• 1:27:23
  How'd you do?
• 1:27:26
  Yeah,
• 1:27:26
  I did see he went and put out a...
• 1:27:28
  The championships were today.
• 1:27:30
  Okay.
• 1:27:31
  But those teams already made.
• 1:27:32
  I don't think John's on the
• 1:27:33
  teams from right now.
• 1:27:34
  I think that for the next,
• 1:27:35
  the next season.
• 1:27:36
  Yeah.
• 1:27:37
  Okay.
• 1:27:37
  All right.
• 1:27:39
  Then I'll just bring it in a
• 1:27:40
  ringer for the finale.
• 1:27:42
  What is this?
• 1:27:43
  I don't know.
• 1:27:44
  John,
• 1:27:44
  make sure you have sex and pan check
• 1:27:46
  on your hall of fame list.
• 1:27:47
  That's all.
• 1:27:47
  Uh,
• 1:27:54
  they covered the championship on a spin
• 1:27:55
  cast.
• 1:27:56
  All right.
• 1:27:56
  I'll go watch.
• 1:27:59
  That's usually when I'm
• 1:28:00
  getting ready for bed, I put them on.
• 1:28:03
  So that's what I'll do tonight.
• 1:28:06
  So with that,
• 1:28:06
  get ready for your debates on
• 1:28:09
  who should be in the Hall
• 1:28:10

• 1:28:11

  With that,
• 1:28:19
  we'll talk about it through the week.
• 1:28:21
  Just so you know,
• 1:28:22
  there'll be a heated debate
• 1:28:23
  throughout the week as to
• 1:28:24
  what the limit should be.
• 1:28:27
  With that, everybody,
• 1:28:28
