Did WFP make the dumbest mistake ever?
0:17
I love the chase and the hunt,
0:19
and I set the pace when I'm running.
0:20
I always take what I want,
0:22
and I always give it one hundred.
0:23
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
0:25
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:26
I'm always thankful for something.
0:28
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:29
Now wake up!
0:31
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:33
Look in the mirror if he is no
0:35
friend to me.
0:36
It's not working out,
0:37
maybe it's the chemistry.
0:39
It's time to break up so I can
0:40
make a better me.
0:41
E-M-M-E!
0:47
It's lunch time.
0:49
What is going on, everybody?
0:51
Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale.
0:54
Every time I put into the description of
0:57
the show that this is our time to
0:59
take a break from the busy work day,
1:01
catch our breath, hang out with friends,
1:04
talk about sports, entertainment,
1:06
and specifically CrossFit, right?
1:09
I need that more today than I have
1:11
ever needed it.
1:12
I have been in a meeting since eight
1:14
thirty this morning.
1:16
It paused for lunch.
1:19
We have to go back at one o'clock.
1:21
I have had more joy poking a fork
1:24
in my eye than what this meeting is.
1:29
That is how joyless this meeting has been.
1:33
And before we came on here,
1:34
you were telling me what is the thing
1:36
that you, that steals your joy.
1:39
yeah um so anytime something like that
1:41
comes up like for example painting like
1:44
painting like inside your house like
1:46
painting a wall painting uh you know
1:48
outside of your house whatever i hate it
1:50
i had a real bad experience when i
1:52
was nineteen years old and i hated so
1:53
i always say i would rather nail my
1:55
feet to the floor
1:56
with a ball-peen hammer and bad aim than
2:00
doing whatever that absolutely is.
2:04
Well,
2:04
I told you I had a funny anecdote
2:05
for that, and that is, so my house,
2:08
my wife, her degree is in interior design.
2:12
And so she loves to design things.
2:14
She loves to change things up.
2:15
Like right now,
2:16
I'm changing out all the outlet covers in
2:18
my house to a more decorative version
2:22
because she's just tired of the color.
2:25
And so...
2:28
Um, so when she wants a wall painted,
2:32
like I'll run an errand and I'll come
2:35
back and there will be paint supplies out
2:38
everywhere and a wall that has like three
2:42
strokes of paint on it.
2:45
i'm like what happened here she goes well
2:46
i started and i was like eff it
2:48
i'm not gonna i just need a break
2:51
and that drives me bananas so then i'm
2:54
like all right and i get on like
2:56
my paint clothes and i go and i'll
2:58
finish painting the room because i just
3:00
can't stand like the stuff being out
3:02
everywhere and she knows it she know and
3:05
i know she knows it and she knows
3:07
that i know that she knows
3:13
But that's to paint a room.
3:16
She just gets the stuff out while I'm
3:18
not in the house and she'll paint a
3:21
couple swatches on the wall.
3:23
And then I come back going, oh,
3:25
can't stand it.
3:26
And then paint the damn room.
3:29
Yeah.
3:29
My wife informed me the other day that
3:31
she wants to paint the garage,
3:33
the inside of the garage,
3:35
and then like put one of the coatings
3:36
down on the, on the floor and whatnot,
3:39
because she's been doing most of her
3:40
workouts from home.
3:42
And she just wants it to be,
3:45
so it's going to get sort of forced
3:46
us to clean it out before that and
3:47
whatnot, and just make it nicer and such.
3:50
And I was like, okay, you said paint.
3:57
Yeah.
3:58
Okay.
3:58
Here we go.
3:58
And those those floorings are paint as
4:02
well, right?
4:03
Yeah, it's all paint.
4:05
It's all paint.
4:06
Vicki says that's why she does it.
4:07
I know that.
4:08
Like I said,
4:09
I know that she knows that I know
4:11
she knows.
4:13
It's not a secret.
4:17
Oh, well,
4:18
and then like one time I had to
4:20
work on a Saturday.
4:21
And I come home and my kitchen is
4:24
repainted in the sloppiest,
4:28
half-assed way possible.
4:30
And I spent the whole evening cleaning up
4:34
the edges.
4:37
And I would rather paint the edges than
4:40
clean up the edges.
4:44
So it's that, it's that old, um,
4:45
how do you get out of doing the
4:47
dishes like forever?
4:48
Um, break a couple, right.
4:51
And you just do a terrible job.
4:53
It's like, well,
4:53
nobody's ever going to ask you to do
4:54
that again because you just messed it up
4:56
so bad.
4:57
And they, they were like, how about no,
5:00
uh, stall mats,
5:01
Corey painting the floor is such a hassle.
5:04
Yeah.
5:05
But the, have you ever priced stall mats,
5:08
Vicky?
5:08
They're not cheap at all.
5:10
So,
5:10
and they are the heaviest things on the
5:12
face of the planet.
5:14
So if you buy stall mats from like
5:16
a gym place, they're like way more.
5:19
If you go to like a farm shop
5:23
and get horse stall mats, way cheaper.
5:27
Yeah.
5:28
The ones at Tractor Supply were still like
5:30
eighty five bucks a piece.
5:31
What?
5:32
I got mine for like twenty bucks a
5:34
piece.
5:35
Fuck, I wish.
5:37
wish because if that be the case i
5:39
would be parking on stall mats every
5:41
single day when i pulled into the garage
5:43
because they would i went out of outfit
5:44
at the gym but no when i when
5:45
i went to get it now granted i
5:47
will say this too when i went and
5:49
bought the ones that we used to have
5:51
um that we no longer have i got
5:52
them while the world was shut down so
5:55
like i probably was paying a premium at
5:58
the end because they were hard to come
5:59
by at that point
6:02
And then Polaris,
6:04
they went from the stall mats to the
6:07
rollout floor.
6:09
And they sold off all the mats like
6:12
dirt cheap.
6:14
Like ten bucks a pop just to get
6:16
them out.
6:17
And I got a couple more there.
6:21
Vicky,
6:22
I did half my garage tractor supply.
6:26
Joseph says,
6:27
just do the dishes wrong and they'll ask
6:29
you to stop eventually.
6:30
And just quit asking you to do it.
6:32
Paper plates.
6:34
Yeah, no, the, the.
6:37
Ninety-nine percent of the meals at my
6:38
home are in eating on paper plates.
6:41
So there's nobody wants to do two dishes
6:44
that, and, uh,
6:47
I am very much proponent of like,
6:49
when I make my eggs in the morning,
6:51
I put them in a bowl that I
6:54
mixed them in,
6:55
put them back into that bowl after they're
6:56
cooked, eat, wash the bowl.
7:01
put it in a drying board.
7:02
Why?
7:02
Because I use one bowl all week.
7:07
Like that's where it's at.
7:08
Don't mess with my bowl.
7:09
And with just my wife and I now,
7:11
like we try to use paper plates as
7:12
much as possible.
7:14
She's a little bougie though.
7:15
There's certain things she won't eat on a
7:17
paper plate.
7:17
Well,
7:17
so like we got some Wagyu ribeyes for
7:24
my anniversary and we pulled out the
7:26
actual plates to eat those on because it
7:28
felt kind of weird.
7:32
yeah yeah you don't want to use a
7:35
steak knife on a paper plate no no
7:39
so yesterday was the the first day of
7:41
the registration for the the open and I
7:43
saw you post your little badge um proud
7:46
of you number eight baby I'll get I'll
7:49
get mine up there soon um I think
7:53
I'm at twelve now twelve um so yeah
8:00
um
8:01
So what I find,
8:03
and just bear with me,
8:04
a lot of people are talking about this.
8:07
Everybody knows that that was the date of
8:09
open registration.
8:10
And I would contend that even the WFP
8:12
knew that open registration started
8:14
yesterday.
8:16
And they picked that date to release the
8:17
information about their upcoming season.
8:24
Which was all kind of good.
8:26
We talked about it yesterday.
8:27
We talked about the changes,
8:29
what's coming, right?
8:31
But then, unbeknownst to all of us,
8:36
CrossFit decided to do this campaign,
8:39
I think is what they call them,
8:42
where they collaborated with pretty near
8:47
every major athlete in the space.
8:50
And here is the one they collabed with,
8:52
with Tia.
9:16
freaking awesome yeah right it it has an
9:20
action item at the end register now at
9:22
games.crossfit.com
9:25
It is showing not just Tia on the
9:28
competition floor,
9:29
but in her gym preparing for it.
9:32
The first one I saw was our very
9:33
own Carolyn Prevo.
9:35
They collaborated with her as well.
9:38
And they made individual reels for every
9:43
athlete.
9:44
So they were personalized for each one,
9:48
which was freaking awesome.
9:51
So if you're the WFP...
9:54
And you decide, hey,
9:55
I'm going to come in and we're going
9:57
to make our announcement on this day.
9:58
And then the whole Instagram social media
10:01
world is flooded with all of your favorite
10:04
athletes.
10:05
And might I say,
10:07
the major athletes that the WFP wants to
10:10
showcase at their events are
10:13
not only posting about doing the open,
10:16
but collaborating with CrossFit HQ in the
10:19
process about here I come, signing up,
10:24
proving it here.
10:27
Flexing on them.
10:29
That's what it feels like, right?
10:32
CrossFit didn't have to say a word.
10:34
And they couldn't have planned this,
10:36
right?
10:37
It was a happy accident because they had
10:39
to prepare all those reels well in
10:41
advance.
10:42
They had,
10:43
and the Carolyn told me they sent them
10:44
out to her a day or two before
10:47
and just said,
10:48
do not release it until the day of
10:50
registration.
10:52
Um, it,
10:55
what a freaking coup that this campaign
10:59
had become accidentally.
11:01
right?
11:02
Because nobody's paying attention to what
11:05
the WFP is doing when all of your
11:07
favorite athletes are putting these out
11:08
and you're watching, Ooh,
11:09
how'd they change it up for Dallin?
11:11
Ooh, how'd they change it up for Emma?
11:13
Ooh, how'd they change it up for X,
11:15
Y, Z, right?
11:16
Even if you didn't want to.
11:20
Because they're just there,
11:21
and everybody's reposting them,
11:22
which makes them show up in your feed
11:24
that much more,
11:25
and they're on everybody's stories.
11:27
I've shared several of them,
11:28
like Bill Leahy's,
11:30
I've run across Jason Hopper's,
11:32
I saw Tia's.
11:35
God.
11:37
A bunch of them.
11:38
I know Lydia Fish's.
11:40
Campbell, Colin Bossard.
11:43
I mean, so it was European athletes,
11:44
it was American athletes,
11:45
it was people all over the world.
11:47
It was...
11:50
And Ortega says now they're making it for
11:51
affiliates.
11:53
They have one with Hopper at the beginning
11:55
where the proving it here is just average
11:58
Joe CrossFitters,
12:01
which is pretty cool too.
12:03
I think I can show that one too.
12:05
Not that it's specifically for affiliates,
12:07
but it's kind of a mix of, hey,
12:09
here's our CrossFit Games athlete and...
12:35
so I mean those are so good dude
12:40
like I want to send CrossFit a bill
12:41
for the wall I'm fixing to go run
12:43
through after watching three or four of
12:44
them in a row I mean that is
12:47
that's absurd but they're absurdly well
12:49
done like you said
12:51
It's punchy, it's brief,
12:52
it's got an action item.
12:54
Hey, games.crossfit.com.
12:56
And the thing Ortega's talking about is
12:59
that if you're an affiliate owner,
13:00
you can respond to them,
13:03
send them what they're asking for,
13:04
and they will make one of those for
13:06
you with your affiliate logo on it and
13:09
then send it back to you and have
13:10
it back to you before,
13:11
I think they said February the fifth.
13:17
If affiliates don't fill out that form,
13:18
it's a miss.
13:20
if i didn't even know that part so
13:22
that's really cool development that you
13:24
can send in your logo um and they'll
13:27
make one for you that's freaking awesome
13:29
well and what a brilliant move from for
13:34
crossfit because it's going to touch all
13:37
these people that don't necessarily follow
13:39
crossfit or crossfit games if you make it
13:42
for the affiliates it's going to go out
13:43
to every affiliate and if you're a gym
13:45
member you're following your own gym's
13:47
instagram account
13:49
right?
13:50
Or Facebook, whatever.
13:52
And you're going to hit people that you
13:54
don't normally hit.
13:55
Yeah.
13:58
Cause they're going to share it, right?
14:00
Your members are probably going to share
14:01
it.
14:01
They're going to share it to their story,
14:03
to other people that don't know, you know,
14:06
no.
14:06
Oh yeah, no.
14:06
I know Corey does CrossFit,
14:08
whatever at this place, but Whoa, this is,
14:10
is this what they actually do?
14:11
This looks cool.
14:13
I mean, it's, that's a home run.
14:17
I feel like that's a home run.
14:19
Yeah, and so kudos, kudos,
14:23
many kudos to CrossFit.
14:25
I think this is the best thing to
14:27
come out of the media department since
14:30
COVID.
14:31
Oh, yeah.
14:34
For sure.
14:35
Easily.
14:36
Easily.
14:36
This is better than stuff they were
14:38
putting out earlier that we thought was
14:40
cool when it first hit, you know,
14:42
the F the quick fix and, you know,
14:45
all the stuff that was along those lines.
14:48
That was cool in kind of a generic
14:50
kind of way, I guess you could say,
14:52
like, you know,
14:54
bringing back Pukie and all that kind of
14:57
stuff.
14:57
Yeah, okay, that's pretty nice.
14:58
But this right here, the timing's right.
15:02
I still think they should have done it
15:04
earlier,
15:04
but I think open registration should have
15:05
been open since the beginning of January,
15:07
not in the middle of it, but whatever.
15:09
But the fact that it all coincided at
15:11
once and it's like a blitz campaign,
15:15
right?
15:16
Everything's hidden all at once.
15:18
You can't not see it.
15:22
And to get like all these huge names
15:24
actually collaborate with you and it,
15:27
and it's kind of like, Hey,
15:30
This season is important to us.
15:32
Important enough that we're going to
15:34
collab with CrossFit HQ.
15:36
And all the doubt that we had going
15:38
into last season,
15:40
this sheds a ton of it as to
15:43
the feelings for where people are with
15:46
CrossFit and the upcoming season.
15:50
A hundred percent.
15:51
A hundred percent.
15:52
I'll say this too.
15:53
And this is on a,
15:54
on a related topic.
15:56
At my own gym,
15:58
we have a couple of new people just
16:00
signed up.
16:01
I was leaving this morning to come to
16:03
work.
16:05
And we had a rando come in off
16:06
the street,
16:08
signed up because he wanted to come work
16:10
out.
16:11
And he kind of,
16:11
he kind of sort of knew what CrossFit
16:13
was.
16:13
And then another person also showed up for
16:15
the eight o'clock that signed up.
16:17
We're doing a three for three hundred deal
16:19
right now.
16:20
And like that hasn't happened in quite
16:23
some time where,
16:24
especially not just Rando's walking in off
16:26
the street.
16:26
So there's gotta be something behind it,
16:28
right?
16:28
You don't just walk into a CrossFit gym
16:31
blind and just go, yeah,
16:33
I want to try that.
16:35
Or rarely I would say that is that
16:36
actually the case?
16:37
So I haven't had a chance to talk
16:39
to those people yet.
16:40
I talked to one of them briefly,
16:42
but the rest of it, dude,
16:43
like that's a good sign.
16:45
You know,
16:46
I take that as a good sign.
16:47
For sure.
16:49
Um,
16:51
Back on the WFP side of this,
16:53
totally bad timing now.
16:55
All the athletes that you're trying to
16:57
promote from your sport just basically
17:04
signed up with the other, right?
17:06
That you say you're not competing with,
17:08
but you are.
17:11
And then they put out a video last
17:13
night that last I checked,
17:15
two hundred views,
17:17
which it almost twenty four hours.
17:20
I mean,
17:22
this show gets more than two hundred
17:23
views.
17:24
Spot to say, I think we do better.
17:26
And we wanted a small guys in the
17:29
business.
17:30
Right.
17:32
And so.
17:34
It was an attempt at kind of explaining
17:36
what the upcoming season changes were.
17:38
We did that yesterday,
17:39
so I'm not going to rehash a lot
17:40
of that.
17:41
But the one thing that I kind of
17:43
took from it is there's a point where
17:46
Will is trying to explain why the five
17:48
invitees.
17:50
And he's talking about, well,
17:51
you never know if like someone got hurt
17:55
or if you want to invite someone locally
17:58
to like bring the crowds in or maybe
18:02
someone from another sport.
18:05
And I'm thinking, oh, that's a lie.
18:07
And that's why nobody believes in you
18:12
anymore.
18:13
Because you made all these promises and
18:15
you said all these statements and none of
18:18
them have come true.
18:20
And the reason the five invitees are there
18:25
are because of all the people that
18:26
withdrew that you think you've lost and
18:30
you want to give them a way to
18:31
get back in without having to do the
18:33
qualifier.
18:34
That's why you did it.
18:36
So all this other mumbo jumbo that you
18:38
put around it is all a lie.
18:41
And we all know it now.
18:44
And just stop lying.
18:47
Just, hey, we lost some people last year,
18:49
so we are inviting these people because
18:52
that's our prerogative and we can.
18:54
Why not just say that?
18:55
Like, own it.
18:56
Hey, man,
18:57
we want these people to come in.
18:59
So we're inviting these people.
19:00
You don't even have to go beyond that.
19:02
You can just say that part.
19:05
But what sucks about it, and I don't...
19:08
here i don't know okay i'm i'm muffled
19:11
up in my head here um what it
19:15
sucks about it is what sucks about it
19:17
is you are now making the pro card
19:21
devalued yeah you've done two things
19:25
you've said okay we fought for these top
19:27
twenty positions so you have a pro card
19:30
and get to go automatic bid for all
19:31
the stuff next year
19:33
And then you said,
19:34
but first tour stop next year,
19:37
all the ten of you that fought for
19:38
it and didn't make it,
19:39
we're going to let you in too.
19:43
And then, oh,
19:44
and then we're going to keep these five
19:46
spots open for those people who decided
19:49
not to join us in Copenhagen,
19:51
but we still really want you to come
19:53
play with us.
19:54
So if you decide to,
19:56
we'll let you in without a qualifier.
20:03
It sounds weak.
20:05
Okay.
20:07
Jonathan,
20:08
here's the difference between World
20:10
Fitness Project and Rogue and Rich.
20:13
Yes, it's their competition.
20:15
Yes, they can do it however they want,
20:16
but don't tell us they're doing it one
20:18
way and then do it another.
20:21
Yeah, no,
20:22
I think that's what Jonathan's getting at
20:23
is that that's what they should be doing.
20:27
And just say it.
20:28
Hey, bro,
20:28
we're going to invite whoever the hell we
20:29
want to invite.
20:30
It's our competition.
20:31
Instead of going, well,
20:32
we want to leave it for this.
20:33
No, we know that's bullshit.
20:38
Just say what you mean.
20:40
Well,
20:41
we're inviting whoever we want to invite
20:42
because it's our competition and we can't.
20:45
Like if Jason Ansley,
20:46
I was watching their, the,
20:48
the monster games,
20:49
Q and a live Q and a last
20:50
night, and they were explaining, you know,
20:52
how this goes and how that goes and
20:53
whatnot.
20:54
And if Jason wanted to say,
20:56
and we're inviting these six people and we
20:57
don't give a shit who likes it,
20:58
like that is something he would.
21:01
And as the competition director for WFP,
21:03
I don't understand why he's not saying
21:04
that to just come out and say,
21:08
Hey bro,
21:08
like he doesn't strike me as a type
21:10
of person to say those kinds of things.
21:15
Tristan says,
21:15
I've not watched a single piece of WFP
21:17
media.
21:18
Nothing I've seen come across my YouTube
21:19
has looked remotely interesting.
21:21
It's all a rehash of what's been done
21:24
in the past.
21:26
It's all a rehash.
21:27
It's all the same damn stuff.
21:29
And that's the other promise that was made
21:30
that never got changed.
21:36
The other thing,
21:37
they are so inside their own bubble.
21:41
By having...
21:43
this podcast, I guess, yesterday,
21:47
and having Brian Friend be the
21:49
interviewer, he works for them.
21:51
He's inside the circle.
21:55
No follow-up questions are ever asked.
21:59
And I was having a conversation with
22:01
someone around the space yesterday that
22:05
like the delusional mirror that these
22:07
people are using right now
22:09
And thinking that what they're doing is
22:13
right and I don't even understand it,
22:17
right?
22:17
Like the self-confidence that that
22:20
delusional mirror gives them is insanity,
22:23
is insane.
22:23
Yeah.
22:26
And I'm going to finish just on this
22:27
little piece.
22:30
I was watching Spin last night going to
22:32
bed and they ended on some stuff about...
22:37
Hiller's piece on scarcity and then
22:41
there's all this stuff out there available
22:45
to them.
22:46
And then they brought up Tyler's Combine.
22:55
thing.
22:56
And then I thought about Hiller's redo of
22:58
the WFP season.
23:00
That's what we need.
23:02
We need like something different that,
23:05
that shows off these athletes and makes it
23:08
fun for us to watch other than the
23:09
same thruster pull-up workout over and
23:13
over and over again.
23:14
Right.
23:15
And I thought about like American Ninja
23:17
Warrior and
23:19
it's a fun show that I like to
23:20
watch in the summer.
23:21
It,
23:21
I don't have to pay attention to it.
23:23
It can just kind of be on and
23:25
I watch it and it's fun and people
23:27
do crazy ass shit on it.
23:29
And the,
23:29
they end their season with a skills
23:31
competition, not another race.
23:34
Cause we've already seen the race, right?
23:37
They do like who can Lachey the farthest,
23:40
who can salmon ladder the highest,
23:42
who can, you know,
23:43
all these things where then they get to
23:45
show these like superhuman feats and
23:49
And that's fun because it's different than
23:51
what we just watched all summer.
23:56
We need to find those types of things.
23:58
Like I think Waterpalooza SoCal has done
24:00
an awesome job of like creating an event
24:03
that is very different than what we just
24:05
watched.
24:09
Yeah.
24:09
Yeah.
24:11
And they brought up the three-person teams
24:13
at Wadapalooza too,
24:14
that that's very different.
24:15
And that's one of the reasons they're very
24:17
popular is it gives the athletes something
24:19
to do other than compete individually,
24:21
hang out with friends,
24:22
and the spectators get to watch something
24:24
different than we've seen all time.
24:27
And as opposed to the individual
24:29
competitions,
24:29
the three-person thing at Waterpalooza
24:31
looks fun.
24:32
They look like they're having fun for the
24:34
most part, right?
24:36
I mean, you're still working.
24:37
They're still suffering.
24:39
Obviously, it still hurts,
24:40
but it's always funner.
24:42
I mean,
24:43
my favorite class to coach and my favorite
24:45
class to usually jump into is on Saturdays
24:49
whenever we have a two- or three-person
24:50
team.
24:52
Because it's fun to do, right?
24:55
Everybody's pushing harder because you
24:56
don't want to let anybody down.
24:59
So not this past year,
25:02
but a year before that,
25:04
I did beach brawl and I did the
25:06
individual on Saturday and the team on
25:08
Sunday.
25:09
And at some point,
25:11
Probably the day before I got over there,
25:12
I found out that I made it,
25:14
like I qualified for Legends.
25:16
So I was over the moon, right?
25:19
And I was going to do the max
25:20
lift.
25:21
And one of the guys that's on my
25:22
team,
25:23
who's also basically one of my coaches,
25:25
was sitting there yelling at me about,
25:27
you know, focus, blah, blah, whatever.
25:28
And I did my lift.
25:30
I put the barbell down.
25:31
I looked at him.
25:31
I said, Bernard.
25:33
I don't give a shit about this right
25:35
now.
25:36
I said, tomorrow,
25:38
whenever we're on the same team, I will.
25:41
But right now, I just made legends.
25:43
I don't give a damn about this right
25:45
now.
25:45
I'm just out here having fun,
25:46
getting warmed up and getting ready for
25:47
tomorrow.
25:49
And it's because I didn't want to let
25:50
anybody down.
25:50
I wasn't pushing super hard,
25:53
trying to do anything crazy or outside of
25:56
my limits,
25:57
pushing my limits too far because I knew
25:58
the next day,
26:00
I got three other people that are
26:01
depending on me to be at, you know,
26:03
be the best that I possibly could be.
26:07
Or take us as Scott.
26:08
I'm not always a contrarian.
26:10
I know, I know.
26:12
Sometimes I get into these like modes of
26:14
like,
26:15
I don't like what I'm seeing so that
26:16
now I'm in fight mode and I don't
26:19
mean to take it out on you.
26:21
Wayne says it'd be bad.
26:22
Look,
26:23
if Hopper and DB get invites and win
26:24
the season without a contract.
26:30
But it would be entertaining.
26:34
Vicky says Physical One Hundred is awesome
26:37
and Ultimate Beastmaster.
26:39
I tried to watch Ultimate Beastmaster
26:41
first season.
26:43
I got through a little bit,
26:46
but I couldn't get through it all.
26:49
I don't like mass eliminations.
26:53
So I'm old enough that if you say
26:54
Beastmaster,
26:55
I think of the movie with Mark,
26:58
whatever that dude's name was,
26:59
whenever he was in charge,
27:01
although I have no idea what Ultimate
27:03
Beastmaster is.
27:05
Yeah, so it's Mr. Beast,
27:10
and they play for tons of money, and...
27:15
And I liked it.
27:17
I liked the games they were playing.
27:18
I liked the stuff.
27:19
But every once in a while, like,
27:21
if you're on a grid, and, like,
27:24
they'll just eliminate a whole row or a
27:25
whole column of the grid, and you, like,
27:28
just drop through the floor.
27:29
Gone.
27:30
Oh, all right.
27:34
So, yeah.
27:39
Sean says, Vicky,
27:41
I binge both seasons so good.
27:44
Physical, one hundred.
27:45
So that is so I could reinforce my
27:47
confidence that CrossFitters are the best
27:49
all around athletes.
27:51
Yeah.
27:51
Oh, she's saying no, not Mr. Beast.
27:53
Beastmaster must be something different.
27:55
Mr.
27:55
Beast has like he's in a second season
27:57
of like a physical challenge game, too.
28:00
I think I just called the Mr.
28:01
Beast games or something like that.
28:03
Yeah, I know.
28:04
I've heard of that one.
28:06
I'll have to look up Beastmaster.
28:09
Be careful.
28:09
You're going to get the movie.
28:10
Yeah.
28:11
I'm just thinking that, like,
28:13
that may not be something you want to
28:14
Google.
28:15
Probably not.
28:17
Probably not.
28:18
If you do,
28:19
make sure you got Safe Search on because
28:21
there's going to be some weird shit that
28:22
pops up.
28:22
Yeah.
28:26
Netflix Ultimate Beastmaster.
28:28
It's a physical comp like American Ninja
28:29
Warrior.
28:30
Oh, all right.
28:33
Yeah.
28:34
I was just thinking the Beast Games,
28:35
which is a physical competition as well.
28:39
But it's... Yeah.
28:44
Corey,
28:44
you made my husband laugh with the movie
28:45
reference.
28:48
Corey, you watched them all.
28:49
I did.
28:50
This isn't even like a thing, but...
28:54
Now that I'm older, right?
28:55
My mom is older.
28:58
My in-laws are older.
28:59
They call a lot.
29:01
I check in on my mom every day
29:04
now just because she lives alone and all
29:07
that kind of stuff.
29:08
But we sat down to watch The Running
29:09
Man,
29:09
and I was so excited because you were
29:11
saying it was closer to the Stephen King
29:12
book than the original.
29:15
Yep.
29:17
Every time I get into the movie,
29:19
one of our parents calls or my daughter
29:21
calls.
29:23
And then we have to stop.
29:24
Yeah.
29:26
So I am like,
29:27
it's back like when I had a two-year-old
29:30
where I'd watch and then they wake up
29:32
from the nap and you're like, shit,
29:33
now I got to take care of the
29:34
baby, pause.
29:38
Oh, dude, my son was home last night,
29:41
and we were talking about the trailers for
29:46
Doomsday that are like the little teaser
29:48
trailers that are all dropping.
29:48
So we were talking about that,
29:49
like what's coming up and whatnot,
29:51
and the fact that we didn't have to
29:52
go sit through Avatar to watch the
29:54
trailers because that was our original
29:55
plan.
29:58
And then I said, yeah,
29:59
I said the new season of... Oh,
30:03
it's the one based on a video game
30:04
that's on...
30:07
It's on Amazon.
30:09
Anyway, yeah,
30:11
so the new season of Fallout is out,
30:13
I said,
30:13
but I haven't had a chance to watch
30:16
it yet because my eight-year-old insists
30:18
on being attached to me every time I
30:20
sit on the couch.
30:21
But I'm super excited about that.
30:24
Yeah, I was telling my wife,
30:25
Walter Goggins is everywhere now.
30:27
That dude is all over the place.
30:29
Every Walmart commercial, Goggins Goggles,
30:32
whatever for the website thing.
30:36
And then he's on White Lotus.
30:37
He's on Fallout.
30:40
Gosh, he's in every damn show.
30:42
He's really good in Fallout.
30:44
Like, I really,
30:45
really like him in Fallout.
30:47
I haven't dove in because I have a
30:48
bad relationship with that video game.
30:50
I got lost in the desert for a
30:51
long time getting eaten by coyotes.
30:53
So just had a hard time.
30:59
yeah so but i think i'll i'll check
31:02
it out at some point it's good dude
31:05
it's really really good i have no idea
31:06
about the video game but the series is
31:09
it was fun to watch the video game
31:11
is cool it's just it's like post-nuclear
31:14
And the last one I played was four.
31:17
You're in Boston.
31:18
You can actually go into Fenway Park and
31:20
look through the rubble and stuff like
31:23
that.
31:24
But if you get lost,
31:25
there's these radioactive wolves,
31:28
I guess they are, in the desert,
31:30
and they attack you.
31:32
And the problem is if you die and
31:34
your last save was with very little life,
31:37
you're just in an infinite loop of...
31:40
death that's terrible yeah that sounds
31:44
terrible um so anyway uh what else do
31:51
i have uh betting did you see the
31:54
news this morning i did not
31:57
So all week I've been talking about, like,
31:59
anything that makes, like,
32:00
watching sports you more invested makes it
32:04
better.
32:04
And I think one of the things is
32:08
sports betting makes sports you more
32:11
invested in watching because you put two
32:13
dollars on this game and you want it
32:16
to turn out the way you bet, right?
32:18
Well,
32:19
it was announced that twenty college
32:22
basketball players are now being charged
32:25
with point saving.
32:29
Because betting is so prominent now.
32:32
Yeah.
32:33
And so my question to you is,
32:35
I do think like if you brought some
32:37
sports betting to CrossFit,
32:40
it would make people more invested because
32:43
people will bet on anything.
32:44
And it's so made for betting on things
32:50
and prop bets and all that kind of
32:51
stuff, right?
32:52
Yeah.
32:52
But is it worth the risk?
32:54
Because this year alone we've had,
32:56
one of the last four months,
32:57
we've had the NBA bust players for fixing
33:03
prop bets.
33:04
We've had Major League Baseball find
33:06
pitchers that were fixing prop bets.
33:10
And now we have twenty NCAA Division one
33:13
basketball players being charged with
33:15
point shaving.
33:17
And that's just now.
33:19
That's not the stuff that's odd.
33:21
Cause there's a whole, uh,
33:22
thirty for thirties about.
33:24
Yeah.
33:25
People, people doing, uh,
33:26
people doing that stuff.
33:28
I think it's a slippery slope, man.
33:30
I really, really do.
33:30
I don't gamble at all.
33:33
Like talking about, I might,
33:34
I might buy a Powerball ticket if it
33:36
gets up to a billion dollars again.
33:38
Like that's literally where, where,
33:39
where we're at.
33:40
Um, I don't,
33:43
I don't fault anybody for doing it.
33:45
I mean,
33:45
you want to light your money on fire,
33:46
go for it.
33:47
Um, I really don't care.
33:50
But I think it's a real slippery slope
33:51
because of that.
33:52
Because in our sport,
33:53
it'd be a lot easier to do as
33:56
far as the fixing is concerned because you
33:58
can slow down.
33:59
That's really all you got to do.
34:03
Or only put, well, what's the line?
34:05
Oh, they say I'm going to snatch .
34:07
Well,
34:08
I'm going to bet the under because I'm
34:10
going to go ahead and snatch .
34:11
Well, here's where it fails.
34:13
And because of technology,
34:15
you find the cheaters faster.
34:18
Because like in the NBA,
34:19
when the guy said his prop bet that
34:21
he was going to get the over under
34:23
was six points in the game and he
34:24
gets hurt in the first quarter.
34:26
So he doesn't even play the full game,
34:28
doesn't get the points.
34:29
But so many people bet the under on
34:31
it that it tipped off the algorithm that
34:34
said, no way is this a real bet.
34:37
People knew ahead of time.
34:39
And so they dumped the money on that
34:41
bet.
34:42
And that's how they're catching these
34:43
people now because of technology.
34:45
And it's legal now, right?
34:47
So they can actually run these algorithms.
34:49
Back in the day of, hey,
34:50
I got to go find my bookie at
34:51
the seven eleven so I can like place
34:54
a bet on something.
34:55
He wasn't running any algorithms.
34:58
No.
35:00
Not at all.
35:01
They were actually setting lines.
35:02
Right.
35:02
So.
35:08
So I'm a guy that like puts in
35:09
twenty five dollars at the beginning of
35:10
the football season and I'll occasionally
35:13
throw a bet.
35:15
Right.
35:15
Just for fun.
35:16
And I and I max out at that
35:19
for the year.
35:21
And at the end of this season,
35:22
I had I had twenty four dollars left
35:24
in my account.
35:26
Easy, Scott.
35:28
No, crazy.
35:29
So like first week of the playoffs,
35:31
I said, all right,
35:32
I'm going to bet on every game that's
35:33
not the Bears or the Steelers.
35:35
The games I'm not invested in,
35:37
I'm going to put two dollars and fifty
35:38
cents on the line and see.
35:41
And I went four for four.
35:42
So now I have thirty seven dollars in
35:44
my bank, in my account.
35:47
But it made me watch the other games.
35:50
more intently because I wanted to see if
35:53
my two-fifty was going to turn into
35:55
four-seventy-five.
35:59
I might make enough to buy two cans
36:01
of C-IV whenever I stop at the gas
36:02
station instead of one.
36:05
But that's my point.
36:06
It doesn't take a lot of money for
36:08
me to get now more interested or more
36:10
invested.
36:11
Sure.
36:12
You.
36:13
But then there's those guys that are...
36:15
There's going to be the degenerate gambler
36:17
that's throwing ten grand on...
36:21
And it needs a pair of shoes or
36:23
whatever.
36:24
I'm going to put ten grand on whether
36:26
the coin flip is head or tails.
36:29
You can bet on anything.
36:31
I know.
36:31
It's insanity.
36:33
Bananas.
36:34
Great.
36:34
And there's odds on it.
36:37
It doesn't matter what it is.
36:38
Could you think about CrossFit, though?
36:40
Will Jason Hopper go unbroken on X?
36:46
What's the over-under on will he finish
36:49
below or above this time?
36:51
Yeah, and there's like long-term ones,
36:53
right,
36:53
where you can put it at the beginning
36:54
of the season and whatever that looks
36:55
like, will Tia win again?
36:58
Yep.
36:59
Right.
37:00
Bet that under.
37:00
Who will win the CrossFit Games?
37:03
Yeah,
37:03
who's going to win the CrossFit Games this
37:04
year?
37:04
Who's going to win WFP?
37:06
Who's going to win Rogue?
37:09
Pick a thing.
37:09
It doesn't really matter.
37:12
Yeah,
37:13
it's something that I do think would bring
37:15
more eyes to the sport side of things.
37:17
Yeah, absolutely.
37:18
Absolutely would.
37:19
The problem is that once Vegas gets
37:21
involved,
37:23
you end up with situations like you end
37:24
up with right now with the twenty guys
37:27
in the NCAA because that's a good thing
37:30
or a bad thing.
37:32
Well, it depends on who you ask, right?
37:34
Uh, any publicity is good.
37:35
Publicity says, I said some, so, uh,
37:39
you know, oh, these guys got busted for,
37:41
you know,
37:42
and then that's another sanction that
37:45
you're going to put on athletes at that
37:46
point.
37:47
Right.
37:47
Because if.
37:50
You know,
37:50
kale layman gets caught shaving reps.
37:54
Yeah,
37:54
the open bets would be like – Oh,
37:57
my God.
37:58
Can you imagine?
37:59
Well, you can't, right?
38:01
Unless you have video proof,
38:03
you can't bet on it.
38:05
Oh, you can?
38:07
No, I know that.
38:07
But no,
38:08
I'm saying you can't because like who's
38:10
right and who's wrong, right?
38:12
So KL does three open workouts,
38:15
no proof whatsoever because we have no
38:17
video evidence of it whatsoever
38:18
whatsoever.
38:19
And then people are going to be betting
38:20
on who's going to win blah, blah, blah,
38:22
whatever.
38:22
Well,
38:22
you got no proof as to who won
38:23
other than what's on the leaderboard.
38:25
Well, here's the best ones.
38:26
They like quarterfinals.
38:28
You,
38:28
you bet Ariel low and to win event
38:31
three of quarterfinals and she wins and
38:33
you're like, oh my gosh, I won.
38:35
And then a week later, CrossFit says, no,
38:37
we're going to penalize her back.
38:39
She goes and now she's in your scores
38:42
have been invalidated.
38:44
So you're like, son of a bitch.
38:46
Yeah.
38:48
And so how do you handle that?
38:49
Because by that point,
38:50
it's already been paid out.
38:52
Well,
38:53
you would have to make it where it
38:54
doesn't pay out until the result is final.
38:59
Said degenerate gamblers will not like
39:02
that at all.
39:05
Yeah.
39:05
Waiting for a week on whether their bet
39:07
is good or bad.
39:09
Yeah.
39:09
Can you imagine?
39:10
Like most people are betting that money
39:12
because they think they're going to win
39:13
right then and there.
39:14
And I need this money yesterday.
39:16
Yeah.
39:17
Not, oh, three weeks from now,
39:19
CrossFit puts out a thing saying, or,
39:22
okay, here's,
39:25
Kale Damon wins the CrossFit,
39:26
not even the Open, wins the Games.
39:30
And then three months later,
39:31
he gets popped for drugs.
39:34
All right.
39:35
We need to get our shit together more
39:37
before we dive into gambling.
39:41
Just talking out loud,
39:42
there's too many issues at this point.
39:47
It's a lot of variables.
39:48
It's a lot of variables.
39:49
It can happen in the NFL, right?
39:51
Like you pick the Chiefs to win the
39:53
Super Bowl and Patrick Mahomes pops for
39:56
drugs and he has to sit out four
39:58
games.
39:59
You're bet sitting out to go on.
40:01
Yeah, a hundred percent.
40:05
And Patrick Mahomes does not test a
40:06
positive for anything.
40:07
I just was throwing out a name.
40:10
This has been a Clydesdale media
40:15
disclaimer.
40:15
This has been a Clydesdale media
40:16
disclaimer.
40:17
We are not endorsing the fact that whether
40:19
or not Patrick Mahomes is.
40:21
Yeah.
40:23
Yeah.
40:26
I just wanted to throw it out there
40:27
because I saw that today, and, like,
40:29
I see these issues coming up, but, like,
40:31
it's just getting big.
40:32
Like,
40:33
half of the ads during a sporting event
40:35
are betting apps.
40:41
BetRateSixtyFive.
40:43
BetThis.
40:44
MGM.
40:46
DraftKings.
40:47
DraftKings.
40:50
Yeah, they're all – I mean,
40:50
there's just a ton of them.
40:52
And they're all offering you free bets to
40:54
get you.
40:55
First one's free.
40:56
Come on.
40:57
First one's free.
40:58
Come on, kids.
40:59
Five bucks on us.
41:01
Come on in.
41:02
And if it hits,
41:03
we'll give you two hundred dollars of free
41:05
bets.
41:06
Yeah.
41:07
Then what are you going to do with
41:07
that?
41:08
Oh.
41:11
No thanks.
41:12
I'm good.
41:13
I'm good.
41:14
I already have enough –
41:18
addictions that I feed between CrossFit
41:21
and shoes that I don't,
41:22
I don't really need to,
41:23
I don't really need to add any more
41:25
to that.
41:27
Meredith says, this is how rumors start.
41:28
I know.
41:30
Yeah.
41:30
We're going to end up on sports center.
41:32
You know what I'm saying?
41:33
The media claims that Patrick is taking
41:37
HGH.
41:42
Understand leagues to athletes,
41:44
no betting leagues to betting companies.
41:46
Come sponsor us.
41:48
Can you imagine how Pete Rose feels?
41:50
Right?
41:54
Looking at that going.
41:56
This is what tells you how flipped the
41:58
world is, though.
42:00
Because protecting the integrity of the
42:03
sport is very, very crucial.
42:06
The minute a league becomes fixed,
42:09
people are done.
42:10
Yeah, a hundred percent.
42:12
Not watching that anymore.
42:13
So you can,
42:14
you can do steroids in the NFL and
42:17
it's four weeks suspension and nobody
42:20
gives a shit.
42:22
Bet one game while you're at the facility,
42:26
doesn't even have to be on your sport
42:28
and you're suspended for a year minimum.
42:34
Again, Vegas gets involved.
42:35
It's a whole different thing at that
42:36
point.
42:36
Right.
42:38
Cause it's not just, so if, if,
42:41
you know,
42:42
whoever gets popped for steroids.
42:44
Like you said,
42:45
it's a four game suspension and they're
42:46
right back in it.
42:47
And chances are better than not.
42:49
It doesn't necessarily affect the season
42:51
unless it's somebody super import.
42:53
So Vegas doesn't give a shit about that.
42:55
They can make odds around that.
42:56
What they can't make odds around is if
42:58
somebody gets or can't control is somebody
43:02
doing that and putting their money on it.
43:04
And you don't know what kind of influence
43:05
that they're actually having on the game
43:07
that they're playing.
43:08
It's a much bigger picture at that point.
43:11
It's kind of like this analogy,
43:12
like you buy a tiger because the tiger's
43:15
cool and it brings people to the stadium.
43:17
And you tell the players,
43:18
you got to feed the tiger three times
43:19
a day, but don't let them bite you.
43:24
But you've got to feed him by hand.
43:26
Right.
43:28
Yeah.
43:32
Joseph Ramirez,
43:33
MLB Hall of Fame is rigged.
43:34
I, I. Yeah.
43:39
I don't know when Mark McGuire and Sammy
43:42
Sosa were hitting all the home runs,
43:45
MLB could not get them on TV enough.
43:48
And then they pop for steroids and they're
43:51
like,
43:51
we don't want anything to do with you.
43:53
You're not allowed in our hall of fame.
43:54
You're not,
43:55
you were soaking up the cash when the
43:58
ratings were through the roof and you were
44:01
letting it slide until people got wind.
44:06
And then you act all high and mighty
44:08
and don't let them in your...
44:09
It's like they were shocked.
44:12
Wait a minute.
44:13
Those guys are on steroids?
44:16
Really?
44:17
Martin McGuire just hit a ball,
44:18
five hundred and eighty-five feet.
44:20
Yes, he's on steroids.
44:22
He can't even straighten his arm.
44:26
It's like this the whole time.
44:28
His bicep is so big he can't straighten
44:30
his arm.
44:30
Oh, God.
44:32
You had to know.
44:34
He went up three hat sizes.
44:36
A hundred percent.
44:38
A hundred percent.
44:40
Look at him from when he started his
44:41
career to when he got popped.
44:45
It's not hard to figure out.
44:47
Like you don't need to be a rocket
44:48
surgeon.
44:49
All of them.
44:50
All of them.
44:51
Bonds, Sosa, McGuire, Clemens.
44:56
All of them.
44:58
I think they should all be in the
44:59
hall of fame.
45:02
I watched baseball more then than I do
45:05
now.
45:09
Daniel Tosh had a bit.
45:11
That's probably one of the funniest things
45:12
I've ever heard regarding is that I want
45:14
all my professional athletes to be on
45:16
steroids.
45:17
Let's see what they can really do.
45:20
There's a great live skit about the
45:22
steroid games.
45:24
Yeah, juice him up.
45:26
Goes to lift in his arms,
45:27
pull out of the socket,
45:28
and blood splurts everywhere.
45:32
Let's go.
45:32
Juice him up.
45:33
Let's see what happens.
45:35
Fill the pooper.
45:36
I've gone up three belt sizes.
45:37
I'm not doing steroids yet.
45:38
Yeah.
45:38
It'd be like that sometimes.
45:39
Yeah.
45:41
It'd be like that sometimes.
45:44
I kind of feel what you're saying there,
45:46
buddy.
45:47
Yeah.
45:49
All right.
45:49
Well,
45:50
I got to get back to this God
45:51
awful meeting.
45:53
It's been a fun day.
45:54
Glad we could talk about some weird stuff.
45:56
Hold on for a second.
45:57
I have a fork you can use if
46:01
you need it.
46:02
Jab me right in that eye.
46:03
All right.
46:05
With that,
46:05
don't forget to check out our sponsor,
46:07
Thirdsy.
46:08
Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.
46:11
Gets you fifteen percent off at checkout.
46:14
Yeah.
46:15
With that,
46:16
we're going to head out of here.
46:17
We'll be back tomorrow.
46:19
We're not going to do a Sunday night
46:21
show this week.
46:22
We are either going to do it another
46:24
night or something.
46:25
But the Bears game is Sunday night.
46:27
So I my Bears have not made it
46:30
this far in the playoffs.
46:32
I am not doing a show during a
46:34
Bears game.
46:36
Fair point.
46:37
Not going to.
46:39
Not going to.
46:41
So with that,
46:43
we'll be here tomorrow for sure.
46:45
And then I'll let you know kind of
46:47
when we'll do.
46:47
And Jamie had something going on this
46:49
Sunday anyway.
46:50
So we'll figure something out and we'll
46:52
get a show up somewhere, somehow,
46:54
some way.
46:56
With that,
46:57
we'll see everybody next time on Lunch
46:59
with the Clients Day.
