  Jamie's back.
• 1:17
  I said this on my Friday show.
• 1:19
  I swear Jamie called Carolyn and said,
• 1:21
  hey, I'm going on vacation.
• 1:22
  Don't let Scott get off Scott free this
• 1:25
  week.
• 1:26
  And Carolyn and I went toe-to-toe on
• 1:29
  something that I put as an agenda item
• 1:31
  tonight on this podcast.
• 1:33
  And we're going to see who wins in
• 1:35
  the end.
• 1:35
  All right.
• 1:38
  Because it actually morphed into more news
• 1:43
  throughout the weekend.
• 1:46
  And it's kind of wild.
• 1:47
  So with all that, what's going on, guys?
• 1:51
  We haven't seen Jamie in two weeks.
• 1:53
  I know.
• 1:55
  Has it been two weeks?
• 1:57
  Well, you haven't seen me since, yeah,
• 1:59
  two Sundays ago.
• 1:59
  Yeah, yeah.
• 2:02
  It's true.
• 2:04
  Yeah.
• 2:05
  So how was Florida?
• 2:07
  It was good.
• 2:07
  It was really good weather until the last
• 2:09
  day.
• 2:11
  And honestly,
• 2:12
  not even until like seven or whatever,
• 2:15
  like on our way to the airport,
• 2:16
  it started just, the storms were so bad.
• 2:20
  Um,
• 2:21
  so I was delayed getting out of Florida.
• 2:23
  I didn't get home till like,
• 2:25
  I got home at two forty-five in the
• 2:27
  morning.
• 2:29
  So made for a long Friday,
• 2:31
  Friday for the open at the gym, which,
• 2:34
  and I knew going away, I was like,
• 2:38
  it's going to be the worst possible
• 2:39
  workout for a gym.
• 2:41
  I just knew it was going to be.
• 2:42
  And of course it's, it's got rings,
• 2:44
  it's got the twenty foot section to be
• 2:47
  taped off.
• 2:48
  Um, yeah, just not,
• 2:51
  not really what I wanted to come back
• 2:52
  to, but.
• 2:54
  um before we get the fergus question of
• 2:57
  the week um when i moved to florida
• 3:01
  i thought i had experienced thunderstorms
• 3:04
  thunderstorms in florida are a whole
• 3:06
  different animal it is like kicked up
• 3:11
  twenty notches uh the lightning the way it
• 3:14
  shoots across the sky is insanity
• 3:17
  Yeah,
• 3:17
  it hit like very close to our car
• 3:19
  driving to the airport.
• 3:20
  Like it scared my mom and I.
• 3:23
  I was like, that was right there.
• 3:27
  But yeah,
• 3:27
  and like the road was like getting
• 3:28
  flooded.
• 3:29
  I mean, it was bad.
• 3:33
  Ken says, well,
• 3:34
  while you were on vacation,
• 3:36
  Scott says he missed you.
• 3:37
  And since he loves to argue and have
• 3:39
  open discussions with you.
• 3:41
  It's not exactly a direct quote.
• 3:43
  I'll just say that.
• 3:45
  I was able to watch some of your
• 3:47
  noon shows,
• 3:47
  which I never can because that's when I'm
• 3:49
  coaching at the gym.
• 3:51
  So it was nice to be able to
• 3:52
  catch some of those.
• 3:54
  I've been able to catch more of your
• 3:55
  noon shows.
• 3:56
  My second semester,
• 3:58
  you do it basically at the same time
• 3:59
  that I'm on lesson prep time.
• 4:01
  So sometimes I'm listening to you as I'm
• 4:03
  lifting or if I'm doing some schoolwork.
• 4:06
  I saw you diving in there.
• 4:08
  Yeah.
• 4:09
  Making some comments.
• 4:09
  One day.
• 4:12
  Um, yeah, neutral has been fun this week.
• 4:15
  Went off the rails a couple of times,
• 4:17
  but that's what I love about that show.
• 4:19
  Cause it just, we never know.
• 4:20
  There's no, this one,
• 4:21
  we have like a rundown the noon shows.
• 4:23
  There's no rundown.
• 4:25
  There's nothing.
• 4:26
  Um, so for yes, Jamie,
• 4:28
  would you rather drive across the country
• 4:30
  in a car full of family members with
• 4:32
  overactive bladders or do twenty six point
• 4:35
  two on a grease pull up bar?
• 4:36
  Oh,
• 4:39
  Yeah, that's tough.
• 4:39
  I mean,
• 4:40
  I really hate being on slippery pull-up
• 4:41
  bars.
• 4:44
  And I don't mind stopping...
• 4:47
  occasionally to like stretch a little i
• 4:49
  like because of my hip and stuff in
• 4:51
  my back it's sitting in the car for
• 4:53
  a long time really bothers me but i
• 4:55
  also don't like stopping like all the time
• 4:57
  if i had ever i don't know that's
• 4:59
  tough one because i feel like it's really
• 5:00
  about the rings like you could sit there
• 5:02
  and do quick singles on the pull-up bar
• 5:05
  and and then get a like decent time
• 5:08
  on if your rings go well so that's
• 5:11
  a super tough question i i mean i'd
• 5:14
  probably say
• 5:17
  I mean,
• 5:17
  that one's going to be over quicker.
• 5:19
  So I'm probably the twenty six point two.
• 5:22
  I don't really want to drive across the
• 5:24
  country.
• 5:27
  I was so bad when I was first
• 5:28
  married to my wife.
• 5:30
  We lived in Florida.
• 5:31
  We would come home to Pennsylvania.
• 5:33
  I told her she got one piece off
• 5:35
  the state.
• 5:36
  So choose wisely.
• 5:38
  She.
• 5:40
  Or about.
• 5:41
  Right.
• 5:44
  CrossFit says it's the way it's filmed,
• 5:45
  but Carolyn looks like a small person
• 5:47
  wearing a giant rugby shirt a la Talking
• 5:50
  Heads.
• 5:51
  Same as it ever was.
• 5:53
  Same as it ever was.
• 5:56
  Sorry.
• 5:57
  That's for us old people who knew what
• 5:58
  that song was.
• 6:04
  Jenny says Texas gets at least two stops.
• 6:07
  Thank goodness Texas was not between
• 6:09
  Florida and Pennsylvania.
• 6:11
  We had Georgia, South Carolina,
• 6:13
  North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia,
• 6:16
  Pennsylvania.
• 6:20
  None of those are too bad.
• 6:25
  And Meredith says I'm harsh.
• 6:26
  Harsh trip rules.
• 6:28
  I am much more lenient now as my
• 6:30
  bladder has gotten smaller.
• 6:36
  So, yeah.
• 6:38
  But I was young.
• 6:39
  I was young and stupid back then.
• 6:40
  You know how we are.
• 6:46
  um so anyway uh what do you have
• 6:48
  anything going on this weekend carolyn
• 6:51
  This weekend?
• 6:51
  No.
• 6:52
  Helped out a lot.
• 6:53
  Like at the gym for the open,
• 6:57
  saw a lot of people's first pull-ups and
• 6:59
  chest to bars.
• 7:00
  It was so fun.
• 7:01
  Like this one girl has been working the
• 7:03
  whole year on getting her first pull-up.
• 7:06
  She got twelve and like everyone was
• 7:09
  jumping and people were crying.
• 7:12
  And I was like, oh, this is amazing.
• 7:15
  Just like cool moments in the open.
• 7:17
  Yeah.
• 7:19
  So we had a couple like that too.
• 7:20
  A girl that had just gotten hers.
• 7:22
  Maybe she had gotten her first pull up
• 7:23
  probably three,
• 7:25
  four weeks ago and she got all.
• 7:26
  Nice.
• 7:29
  Wow.
• 7:29
  Yep.
• 7:30
  I, uh,
• 7:33
  before we get into full open talk,
• 7:35
  I've been watching drive to survive and I
• 7:38
  am, I'm completely addicted.
• 7:40
  My wife was watching Bridgerton on her
• 7:42
  own.
• 7:42
  I'm watching drive to survive in mind.
• 7:44
  And I think they both have the same
• 7:45
  amount of drama.
• 7:47
  And Drive to Survive is about the F-One
• 7:49
  series seasons.
• 7:52
  And it is crazy.
• 7:54
  And last,
• 7:55
  like maybe a week or two ago,
• 7:57
  I won in a Lego forum,
• 8:00
  I won a McLaren F-One car Lego.
• 8:05
  And I'm putting that together and it is
• 8:07
  so addictive because it has working motor
• 8:09
  parts.
• 8:10
  Like it is actually like really cool.
• 8:13
  and uh but but the one thing i
• 8:15
  have to i've got to get through the
• 8:17
  series i'm on the next to last season
• 8:20
  i'm gonna get a speeding ticket if i
• 8:21
  don't stop watching the show like i cannot
• 8:27
  stop gunning the gas coming out of the
• 8:31
  back curves um
• 8:34
  trying to overtake people on the four
• 8:36
  lanes like i am it is it it
• 8:39
  is actually ingrained in my mind now that
• 8:41
  i must get past this car or i
• 8:44
  i don't know it is so wild julie's
• 8:47
  like i think i'm gonna die today when
• 8:48
  we went to lunch oh no i'm a
• 8:54
  i'm not a good passenger that would not
• 8:55
  go well with me but we got there
• 8:58
  quick okay if i was hungry i maybe
• 9:02
  would let it slide
• 9:04
  Uh,
• 9:04
  CrossFit says next year is going to be
• 9:05
  even better.
• 9:06
  Lewis Hamilton and a Kardashian.
• 9:09
  Which Kardashian?
• 9:10
  I don't know.
• 9:11
  And this is the thing,
• 9:12
  like the first race was this weekend from
• 9:14
  the twenty six season.
• 9:15
  But I don't want to watch it till
• 9:16
  I finish the series to get me caught
• 9:19
  up because there's so much drama and so
• 9:21
  many people switching companies and so
• 9:23
  much this person hates this person.
• 9:27
  And I don't want to get any of
• 9:29
  that spoiled by watching the actual real
• 9:31
  race until I'm done with the last.
• 9:34
  So I'm in the twenty twenty four season.
• 9:37
  and then i gotta get twenty five done
• 9:39
  and then i can start watching this year
• 9:40
  oh my gosh and they're only like they're
• 9:44
  like forty minute episodes on netflix each
• 9:48
  season's like eight or ten episodes okay
• 9:52
  um but it is honest to god it
• 9:54
  is a male soap opera it's it's like
• 10:00
  love is blind for carolyn oh my gosh
• 10:03
  It's just my version of it.
• 10:04
  I do love Love is Blind.
• 10:07
  That show, Aaron and I watch it,
• 10:10
  but I swear over the last three,
• 10:13
  four seasons, it has gone so downhill.
• 10:15
  I haven't seen any of this season.
• 10:21
  Yeah.
• 10:21
  Andrew Sten said the race was wild.
• 10:23
  What kills me is their teammates.
• 10:26
  So every racing company has two cars.
• 10:29
  Okay.
• 10:30
  You will have two teammates fight each
• 10:32
  other and wreck each other trying to get
• 10:36
  ahead of them,
• 10:36
  and then they lose all the points for
• 10:38
  the team.
• 10:39
  Oh, my gosh.
• 10:40
  Because, like,
• 10:42
  the one team are two kids that grew
• 10:44
  up and have been competing since they were
• 10:46
  six years old.
• 10:47
  Yeah.
• 10:48
  And everybody's like,
• 10:49
  it's a mistake putting them on the same
• 10:50
  team.
• 10:51
  And there they are,
• 10:54
  wrecking each other into the wall.
• 10:55
  Yeah, that's awful.
• 11:00
  that's frustrating.
• 11:03
  Uh, Vicki agrees with, uh, Jamie.
• 11:06
  I completely agree.
• 11:06
  It's not the same as it was at
• 11:07
  first, but Carolyn, if you like that,
• 11:09
  you'll probably like married at first
• 11:11
  sight too.
• 11:13
  Have you seen married at first sight?
• 11:14
  I feel like I've heard about it.
• 11:16
  Maybe Lex has watched it before.
• 11:18
  I typically watch a little bit like when
• 11:22
  Lex watches a show,
• 11:23
  I'll
• 11:24
  start watching it maybe a little bit,
• 11:26
  but honestly I don't,
• 11:28
  I don't watch like much Netflix or shows
• 11:30
  in general, like at all.
• 11:32
  I'm like a live TV sports type person.
• 11:38
  Andrew Sten says,
• 11:39
  teammates eat strivers out for themselves
• 11:40
  in the end.
• 11:41
  Yeah, that's not good.
• 11:42
  And Teresa Rochaford says,
• 11:43
  sounds like Jason and Dallin.
• 11:45
  It is very much like that.
• 11:47
  It is very much like they'll hang out
• 11:50
  and they'll play pickleball together and
• 11:51
  do all this stuff.
• 11:52
  And then when race day comes,
• 11:53
  they are cutthroat.
• 11:56
  There are a lot of like,
• 11:58
  a lot of like parallels to this in
• 12:01
  the CrossFit world.
• 12:03
  A lot.
• 12:05
  Which Kenneth says,
• 12:07
  which one is the one with the pods?
• 12:08
  That would be love.
• 12:09
  Love is blind.
• 12:10
  Yep.
• 12:10
  Married at first sight.
• 12:11
  They literally just,
• 12:13
  the experts like talk to people.
• 12:14
  I think I have seen it before.
• 12:16
  They meet at the altar and they get
• 12:18
  married.
• 12:18
  Like there is not even talking like love
• 12:20
  is blind.
• 12:21
  Like they at least talk and then decide
• 12:22
  they want to meet this person.
• 12:25
  Love is blind is crazy.
• 12:26
  You have to have so much trust in
• 12:27
  the experts.
• 12:29
  Yeah.
• 12:31
  CrossFat says, I'm a huge Lando fan.
• 12:33
  When he was bad and younger,
• 12:35
  he was hilarious about his own wrecks.
• 12:37
  Yeah.
• 12:37
  So in the twenty four season,
• 12:38
  Lando had never won a Formula One race
• 12:42
  and he finally wins one.
• 12:43
  And all of a sudden it was like
• 12:44
  someone gave him a superpower of
• 12:46
  confidence.
• 12:47
  And now he's contending for the
• 12:49
  championship or the win like every week.
• 12:52
  It's it's really cool,
• 12:53
  like because it is does show that like
• 12:55
  sports side of all that.
• 13:00
  Teresa says, I find them cheesy.
• 13:04
  I'm guessing love is blind.
• 13:05
  Which tracks?
• 13:06
  Yeah.
• 13:09
  Could be.
• 13:09
  She doesn't like drive to survive either.
• 13:11
  So the male drama is cheesy.
• 13:17
  Cross that says he just got a good
• 13:18
  car.
• 13:19
  Yeah.
• 13:19
  I think it was a confidence thing though.
• 13:21
  Cause we can talk about that on the
• 13:23
  lunch shows for sure.
• 13:27
  But yeah, I,
• 13:28
  it was a combination of the two for
• 13:29
  sure.
• 13:32
  So,
• 13:32
  twenty six point two was announced on
• 13:35
  Thursday.
• 13:36
  It was a eighty foot walking lunge
• 13:39
  overhead dumbbell.
• 13:42
  Then you went twenty pull ups,
• 13:44
  another eighty foot.
• 13:46
  Oh, dumbbell snatch, then pull ups.
• 13:48
  Sorry, I watched Joseph.
• 13:51
  Joseph do that on Saturday.
• 13:53
  He skipped the order,
• 13:54
  did the wrong order and had to go
• 13:57
  back and start over.
• 13:59
  So anyway, so the lunge, snatches,
• 14:03
  pull-ups, lunge, snatches,
• 14:06
  chest-to-bar pull-ups, lunge, snatches,
• 14:10
  ring muscle-ups.
• 14:12
  Four time.
• 14:14
  So, thoughts on the workout?
• 14:20
  Originally,
• 14:20
  when I watched the announcement,
• 14:25
  I thought that the scores weren't going to
• 14:26
  be like,
• 14:28
  like we're going to get beat like fairly
• 14:30
  easy because of how many sets they were
• 14:31
  doing.
• 14:32
  Like it was like four or five sets.
• 14:34
  And even Miriam had,
• 14:35
  I don't even know how many she had
• 14:36
  there, but then upon studying it,
• 14:40
  I was looking closely.
• 14:41
  I was like, man,
• 14:42
  they were going really fast to begin with
• 14:44
  and bought themselves time to break that
• 14:47
  many times.
• 14:48
  And those scores are still way up there.
• 14:51
  Yeah.
• 14:53
  Lucy still has the top score.
• 14:54
  Does she?
• 14:54
  Yeah.
• 14:54
  That's what I thought.
• 14:57
  Yeah.
• 14:58
  So that was a, uh,
• 14:59
  so I'd actually said,
• 15:00
  I thought those would be top scores.
• 15:02
  Carolyn said I was wrong.
• 15:04
  I know originally I was like,
• 15:06
  there's going to be girls that can do
• 15:07
  that and way less set and just slow
• 15:08
  down the beginning.
• 15:10
  But if you slow down too much,
• 15:11
  you almost don't have time to correct.
• 15:13
  Like, yeah.
• 15:16
  And you're going to be somewhat gassed
• 15:18
  regardless.
• 15:18
  Right.
• 15:19
  You're like, you're not slowing.
• 15:20
  Yeah.
• 15:20
  You'd either slow down so much that you
• 15:22
  were pretty fresh,
• 15:23
  but you're too far behind.
• 15:25
  That's the thing is people,
• 15:27
  if they do slow down so much,
• 15:28
  they still are.
• 15:30
  Forty seconds behind them getting there.
• 15:33
  Yeah.
• 15:34
  Even more.
• 15:34
  Maybe I moved a whole lot slower than
• 15:37
  I expected, says CrossFit.
• 15:38
  But it was crazy to watch how fast
• 15:40
  Miriam can do those first two rounds.
• 15:43
  And then she gets called back and then
• 15:45
  just like in two steps,
• 15:47
  like overtakes Lucy again.
• 15:48
  I'm like, oh, my goodness.
• 15:50
  She's so fast.
• 15:52
  Teresa says fast lunges.
• 15:54
  I thought were the key.
• 15:56
  Yeah.
• 15:57
  I mean, that's a time under tension thing.
• 15:59
  You do not want to be holding that
• 16:01
  thing up overhead.
• 16:07
  Um,
• 16:08
  Jenny said Lucy and another athlete are
• 16:10
  tied,
• 16:10
  but I think Elena has the tie break.
• 16:13
  Caratano or something.
• 16:15
  Oh yeah.
• 16:19
  Crazy.
• 16:19
  After all that work, it's actually a tie.
• 16:21
  That is crazy.
• 16:23
  So the announcement went off.
• 16:26
  Didn't have the glitches we had in week
• 16:27
  one.
• 16:29
  Went off really well.
• 16:31
  Right as of this morning when I was
• 16:32
  making the rundown,
• 16:34
  they were sitting at seven hundred seventy
• 16:35
  five thousand streams.
• 16:38
  Last year,
• 16:39
  twenty five point two to this date has
• 16:43
  seven hundred seventy two thousand.
• 16:46
  So it's already three thousand ahead of
• 16:48
  that.
• 16:49
  I think that's still a good sign.
• 16:51
  Hopefully we'll see some more movement on
• 16:53
  that.
• 16:54
  But the big numbers are already over.
• 16:57
  Right.
• 16:57
  The live announcement getting through the
• 16:59
  weekend.
• 17:01
  But just wanted but nowhere near the
• 17:03
  reported million on the live stream the
• 17:06
  week before.
• 17:08
  Yeah.
• 17:13
  So just an interesting observation on the
• 17:14
  numbers.
• 17:15
  Because I thought the matchup was just as
• 17:19
  good this week with the women as it
• 17:21
  was the week before with the men.
• 17:24
  You had three different strategies.
• 17:26
  And it almost, like...
• 17:29
  Almost worked out for Amy,
• 17:30
  who was a little bit slower,
• 17:33
  but then just had large sets of ring
• 17:35
  muscle ups and kept pretty honest to her
• 17:38
  breaks.
• 17:39
  And then Lucy was more of just like
• 17:42
  steady the whole time.
• 17:44
  And then you have a freaking I don't
• 17:46
  even know what to call Miriam doing her
• 17:49
  lunges and everything.
• 17:50
  She's just on fast forward.
• 17:53
  Like everything's on fast forward.
• 17:55
  Does she have like back to the drive
• 17:59
  to survive thing?
• 18:00
  Does she have a lower gear?
• 18:01
  It just seems like it because she has
• 18:06
  this endurance ability to like keep moving
• 18:09
  at that speed like she did in twenty
• 18:11
  six one.
• 18:13
  Does she just put the pedal down and
• 18:14
  go until she can't?
• 18:16
  She is exciting to watch because she has
• 18:18
  love.
• 18:19
  She's willing to go for it.
• 18:21
  That's the thing.
• 18:21
  She has like no fear of blowing up.
• 18:24
  Like,
• 18:25
  I think you can see it in the
• 18:27
  masters athletes.
• 18:28
  Like, I mean, Rich has talked about this.
• 18:30
  Like there's a point where you're like,
• 18:32
  you know how that feels and you just,
• 18:34
  you're done.
• 18:34
  You're kind of done with it.
• 18:35
  And I don't know if it's because she's
• 18:37
  still somewhat new or because she believes
• 18:41
  she has the endurance,
• 18:42
  but she will come out so hot.
• 18:44
  I mean, it didn't,
• 18:45
  wasn't to her benefit in this one,
• 18:46
  but it sounds like she redid the workout.
• 18:49
  with the same hotness on her movements and
• 18:53
  got seven, fifteen,
• 18:54
  like almost shaved off a full minute and
• 18:58
  didn't try a different strategy,
• 18:59
  was as fast heading to the rings,
• 19:01
  just had better sets.
• 19:05
  Like she opened up with a five instead
• 19:07
  of a three, did a bunch of singles,
• 19:10
  but then this time had her boxes there
• 19:11
  that she could just kind of do her
• 19:13
  single, come down to the box.
• 19:16
  single,
• 19:16
  but she just buys herself so much time
• 19:18
  because she's so fast in the first two
• 19:19
  rounds that she can do small sets.
• 19:22
  I still think she's got to work on
• 19:23
  her ring muscle-ups to get at the elite
• 19:26
  level of that movement,
• 19:27
  but she's so fast elsewhere that it can
• 19:29
  make up for it at this point.
• 19:32
  Really impressive.
• 19:34
  I think the other impressive thing is Amy
• 19:35
  Kringle got much better at muscle-ups
• 19:39
  really fast.
• 19:40
  Yeah.
• 19:42
  I don't remember her being bad.
• 19:44
  Well,
• 19:45
  I don't think it was – I wouldn't
• 19:46
  have said it was her strength,
• 19:48
  but she caught up to – and I
• 19:50
  would say it was a strength for Lucy,
• 19:52
  and she caught up pretty quickly on the
• 19:55
  rings.
• 19:57
  Yeah,
• 19:57
  Lucy's won a lot of bar muscle-up workouts
• 19:59
  and then won the water palooza workout
• 20:02
  with the rings, like ex-gymnast.
• 20:04
  You know Lucy's great at this stuff.
• 20:08
  Amy,
• 20:08
  I feel like she's gymnast and endurance is
• 20:11
  what I,
• 20:11
  that's what like comes to my mind when
• 20:13
  I think about Amy is like running capacity
• 20:17
  engine and.
• 20:19
  I still, I view her as gymnast too.
• 20:22
  So I feel like that's a good workout
• 20:23
  for her as well.
• 20:24
  What I'm saying is I would,
• 20:27
  when I think of Amy Kringle,
• 20:29
  I don't think ring muscle ups.
• 20:31
  I think she's great on a bike.
• 20:33
  She's great on some other different things
• 20:36
  like that.
• 20:37
  When I think Lucy Campbell,
• 20:39
  vivid memories are her going toe to toe
• 20:41
  with Laura Horvat and winning on a ring
• 20:43
  muscle up workout.
• 20:44
  Like that puts you in the elite,
• 20:46
  elite status.
• 20:47
  And for Amy to catch her on the
• 20:49
  rings and be ahead for a moment going
• 20:53
  into the last few reps was impressive to
• 20:55
  me.
• 20:57
  Yeah.
• 20:57
  I agree.
• 21:01
  I mean, they made that race exciting.
• 21:03
  They made that live announcement extremely
• 21:06
  exciting.
• 21:07
  Yeah,
• 21:07
  everyone had a major part in that
• 21:10
  announcement, in the race.
• 21:13
  It was fun to watch.
• 21:15
  In my mindset watching it,
• 21:18
  I didn't even look to the right.
• 21:21
  Because Miriam was out so fast and I
• 21:23
  knew Lucy was good on the rings and
• 21:25
  I was watching those two.
• 21:27
  And then all of a sudden you hear
• 21:28
  Chase go, Amy's catching up.
• 21:31
  And then I finally looked over and it
• 21:33
  was like, holy crap.
• 21:37
  So I think that's why it stunned me.
• 21:39
  And it was a great race.
• 21:41
  It was a great race to the end.
• 21:43
  I thought the community there was great.
• 21:45
  They, they sounded super loud, excited.
• 21:47
  I thought it was great too,
• 21:50
  that they brought in the games athlete,
• 21:53
  I think from last year from Portugal to
• 21:55
  still be a part of the announcement in
• 21:58
  some fashion.
• 21:59
  So that,
• 21:59
  that was a nice touch there too.
• 22:02
  Yeah.
• 22:03
  Yeah.
• 22:03
  And I,
• 22:04
  and I loved how they brought the,
• 22:06
  for the announcement itself brought the
• 22:07
  crowd right in on Dave.
• 22:10
  And let them be a part of the
• 22:12
  announcement.
• 22:14
  That took me back to old school open
• 22:16
  announcements.
• 22:18
  Not like a perimeter floor or anything
• 22:22
  like that, but like, hey,
• 22:23
  let's bring this mob of people,
• 22:25
  let Dave do the announcement and be all
• 22:28
  over him and then back out and let
• 22:31
  the people go.
• 22:32
  I thought that was awesome.
• 22:36
  Yeah.
• 22:40
  Did you guys watch Lucy's behind the
• 22:42
  scenes?
• 22:43
  I have not yet.
• 22:43
  I saw her Instagram post or whatever with
• 22:46
  the dance little reel that they did right
• 22:48
  before they started.
• 22:49
  That was cute.
• 22:50
  And she was like crying.
• 22:52
  I think it was like the day before,
• 22:53
  just kind of like getting emotional about
• 22:55
  like how cool it is for her to
• 22:57
  get this opportunity to do a live
• 22:59
  announcement.
• 23:01
  And I just thought it was really sweet.
• 23:03
  And it's been cool to see her behind
• 23:05
  the scenes of the past two weeks.
• 23:07
  Like she just started her YouTube channel.
• 23:10
  It's just nice to see Eric open up.
• 23:14
  Eric Mackey says,
• 23:14
  I'm willing to be vulnerable.
• 23:16
  And I think that's what the new athlete
• 23:18
  needs to understand.
• 23:19
  If you want to grow in popularity and
• 23:22
  you want to grow in getting appearances
• 23:25
  with CrossFit, that's what you have to be.
• 23:28
  That's what Dallin and Jason and Justin
• 23:31
  have done, and now James.
• 23:32
  And then you add Lucy to this mix.
• 23:34
  She has skyrocketed in popularity.
• 23:37
  One, because she's really damn good.
• 23:39
  Two,
• 23:39
  because she's really vulnerable and lets
• 23:41
  people into everything.
• 23:43
  When she was on with Chase on the
• 23:47
  Sport of Fitness podcast,
• 23:49
  she talked about this being one of those
• 23:51
  things, as a CrossFit athlete,
• 23:53
  you want to check off your bucket list.
• 23:55
  You want to do an open announcement.
• 23:57
  and and you could tell in that moment
• 24:00
  she wanted it so bad and the fact
• 24:02
  that she got one was really really cool
• 24:08
  so um do you think that it was
• 24:11
  a good test
• 24:12
  I think it's a great test.
• 24:14
  You're you, when you asking that question,
• 24:17
  I think it's an excellent test.
• 24:18
  It's a test I like preferably would like
• 24:21
  to see in quarterfinals for gyms.
• 24:24
  I think it was a nightmare for gyms.
• 24:26
  I think,
• 24:27
  I think if you want to see ring
• 24:28
  muscle ups,
• 24:29
  pair it with like an overhead squat or
• 24:33
  whatever, even maybe the rig,
• 24:34
  but not with lunging.
• 24:35
  Like it's,
• 24:38
  Very,
• 24:38
  you need a very specific gym to be
• 24:40
  able to get twenty foot of space and
• 24:42
  keep a dumbbell five foot from the space
• 24:44
  and have ring rings.
• 24:46
  Not everyone has a ring on their rig.
• 24:48
  Some people are,
• 24:50
  some people lunge under the rig,
• 24:52
  which then,
• 24:53
  if their rig is in the center,
• 24:55
  they could be, yeah.
• 24:57
  Like, if you wanted ring muscle-ups,
• 24:59
  I don't know,
• 24:59
  put it with a barbell and
• 25:03
  whatever, like I just,
• 25:05
  you are asking for so much floor space
• 25:08
  and limiting people to probably like
• 25:10
  three, four heats.
• 25:11
  It's not necessarily a short workout.
• 25:14
  Um,
• 25:15
  I did not love it for the open
• 25:17
  week.
• 25:18
  So can I ask you a question,
• 25:19
  a personal question?
• 25:22
  Your gym is not set up to do
• 25:25
  rig and muscle ups.
• 25:27
  Like you have to go across the gym.
• 25:30
  to get to the muscle up.
• 25:32
  Are you biased because of your setup than
• 25:34
  what you're forced to work with?
• 25:36
  Or do you think that... No, I think...
• 25:41
  And I'm not trying to be rude.
• 25:42
  Every other gym I belong to,
• 25:44
  the rings are on the rig.
• 25:47
  There are sets of rings on the rig.
• 25:51
  Okay.
• 25:51
  We have one pair on the rig.
• 25:53
  We have a pair on the rig too.
• 25:55
  But like that also takes...
• 25:56
  Everything else is not.
• 25:57
  That takes like a spot.
• 26:00
  the it's off of the A-beam.
• 26:01
  So like it goes like,
• 26:04
  I think even for a lot of gyms,
• 26:05
  it doesn't make it a good setup.
• 26:07
  Like you putting someone on those rings
• 26:09
  when somebody is maybe still lunging
• 26:10
  through there.
• 26:11
  That's insane.
• 26:13
  I think it just limits most gyms to
• 26:15
  probably like four to six people in a
• 26:18
  heat.
• 26:18
  And that's tough to do.
• 26:20
  I think, I think you make a really,
• 26:21
  really good point because I think about
• 26:23
  that when people put like certain things
• 26:26
  with quarterfinals and having a certain
• 26:27
  setup just as an advantage versus actual
• 26:30
  fitness.
• 26:32
  So pairing something like rings with
• 26:34
  something that you can place, like,
• 26:36
  you know, like you said, a barbell,
• 26:38
  a rope, a box,
• 26:39
  something that you can keep in a certain
• 26:41
  area by the rings and not be needing
• 26:45
  a wall, a rope, like a climbing rope,
• 26:49
  not a skipping rope.
• 26:52
  But all of those play a role in
• 26:54
  the transitions and in people moving their
• 26:56
  camera.
• 26:56
  Now, if you're using the clock,
• 26:59
  that clock can be out of frame.
• 27:00
  Videos can get invalidated because now you
• 27:03
  don't have a clock because you have to
• 27:04
  move to see the rings.
• 27:06
  So definitely valid points for the,
• 27:08
  for the actual test.
• 27:10
  If we take all of those points out,
• 27:13
  I thought it was a great test for,
• 27:15
  um, people to get their first,
• 27:17
  either absolutely pull up chest to bar
• 27:21
  ring muscle ups.
• 27:22
  I thought, you know,
• 27:23
  even the foundations had a good
• 27:25
  progression, um,
• 27:27
  um the scaled version was great and then
• 27:29
  if people wanted to try the rings at
• 27:32
  the end now obviously some people have no
• 27:34
  business doing rings but that's on the
• 27:37
  coaches or judges to even maybe tell them
• 27:41
  that like their workouts done get to the
• 27:42
  tie break don't eat like that's just like
• 27:44
  a responsibility thing if people are doing
• 27:47
  rings and they can barely do a chest
• 27:48
  of our like right so i want to
• 27:52
  ask one more question and then i'll and
• 27:53
  then i'll let it be
• 27:55
  We have complained that CrossFit needed to
• 27:58
  add more gated-type workouts to truly test
• 28:05
  for elite athletes but let the beginners
• 28:09
  and the community members take part.
• 28:12
  That's what this was.
• 28:13
  It was a gated workout that started with
• 28:16
  pull-ups, went to chest-to-bar,
• 28:17
  and then got to the ring muscle-ups so
• 28:20
  the elites could show their skills and
• 28:22
  move on.
• 28:24
  And I do want to give them kudos
• 28:25
  because there's been a ton of feedback
• 28:27
  from the upper level masters community
• 28:30
  that have wanted these types of things in
• 28:33
  their workouts and they left them in.
• 28:36
  Yeah, they did.
• 28:37
  If you were seventy plus and you had
• 28:38
  to ring muscle up,
• 28:39
  you got to show it off.
• 28:43
  Um, so I think while I,
• 28:46
  I understand it is tough for affiliates,
• 28:49
  it's what we've been asking for,
• 28:51
  for the community to have these types of
• 28:53
  workouts.
• 28:54
  So everybody can show what they,
• 28:56
  their skills during the open.
• 28:59
  I would just like some consistency with
• 29:01
  the distances.
• 29:02
  We've gone twenty five last year was
• 29:04
  thirty.
• 29:04
  Now we're twenty.
• 29:06
  Like it's annoying for the gyms to put
• 29:09
  these lines on the floor.
• 29:11
  Think that like we always have to retape
• 29:13
  the floor for like distances.
• 29:17
  Yeah,
• 29:17
  I thought maybe last year they were
• 29:18
  starting to move away from the twenty five
• 29:20
  and go to thirty to make it more
• 29:22
  affiliate based.
• 29:23
  And then for quarterfinals,
• 29:24
  maybe twenty five stuff.
• 29:25
  Yeah.
• 29:27
  more appropriate, but like for the open,
• 29:30
  I liked last year, the thirty,
• 29:32
  like the fifteen and fifteen.
• 29:33
  Yeah, that's what I thought.
• 29:35
  Like I thought that was better for the
• 29:36
  open.
• 29:37
  And then as you progress in the season
• 29:39
  and it's just maybe a few athletes in
• 29:41
  your gym,
• 29:41
  then you can go and do the twenty
• 29:43
  five feet.
• 29:43
  Absolutely.
• 29:44
  Distances,
• 29:45
  especially if you want to do like shuttle
• 29:46
  runs or handstand walk,
• 29:49
  even though they did do thirty feet for
• 29:50
  handstand walk,
• 29:51
  like in the
• 29:54
  masters age group sorry not masters
• 29:58
  semifinal last year but yeah John George
• 30:03
  Sharpie can't be more pleased with the
• 30:06
  lack of scaling in upper ages for masters
• 30:09
  kudos to CrossFit for listening
• 30:12
  Yeah,
• 30:13
  I understand the people that have it
• 30:15
  wanting to showcase that.
• 30:16
  It's a tough one because I feel like
• 30:18
  on one hand, to me,
• 30:19
  I just would say leave it bar muscle-ups
• 30:22
  since that's what we're working with the
• 30:24
  rig.
• 30:24
  If you're taking up all this floor space
• 30:25
  already, just make it bar muscle-ups.
• 30:28
  But we would have been bummed we didn't
• 30:31
  have ring muscle-ups.
• 30:33
  I mean,
• 30:34
  I guess I would have rather seen,
• 30:35
  like I said,
• 30:35
  ring with something else outside of this
• 30:37
  and then like pull-ups and chest-to-bars
• 30:40
  and bar muscle-ups in some other type of
• 30:42
  format workout personally.
• 30:45
  But I do like the,
• 30:46
  I thought it was cool to pull-up to
• 30:49
  chest-to-bar to ring muscle-ups and Boz
• 30:53
  somewhere said that he had a big play
• 30:55
  in that.
• 30:56
  In the open.
• 30:58
  And I also saw that Boz is programming
• 31:00
  most of the quarterfinals and semifinals,
• 31:02
  and then we'll probably let,
• 31:04
  or Dave was probably gonna do the games.
• 31:07
  So a lot of this workout is I
• 31:09
  think Boz from what I saw.
• 31:11
  Wayne says, I'm not going to win.
• 31:13
  I'm not trying to win.
• 31:13
  I really just wanted to point out the
• 31:15
  scaling piece of this too.
• 31:17
  And both of those things are things that
• 31:19
  we have asked CrossFit for.
• 31:21
  Gated workouts and less scaling in the
• 31:24
  master's division.
• 31:25
  And I saw a ton of my master's
• 31:27
  friends get their first muscle up,
• 31:29
  some of them in their sixties,
• 31:31
  getting their first ever muscle up,
• 31:33
  which was super cool.
• 31:35
  And CrossFit says he coached two first
• 31:37
  muscle uppers this weekend alone.
• 31:41
  And that is, that is, who were they?
• 31:42
  Who'd you coach?
• 31:45
  Yeah.
• 31:45
  I, and they,
• 31:45
  and they allowed you to do ten feet
• 31:50
  if you did have space limitations.
• 31:53
  I don't know who is going to really
• 31:55
  do that.
• 31:55
  That's anywhere near competitive though,
• 31:57
  because that extra turning is not easy.
• 32:01
  But they allowed it.
• 32:02
  So, I mean, yeah, they're,
• 32:04
  they're trying to listen to affiliates.
• 32:07
  David Reed said the weight for fifty five,
• 32:08
  fifty nine men was odd.
• 32:10
  I do think and I think I'm going
• 32:12
  to have some agreement here.
• 32:14
  Shoulder mobility and older athletes is a
• 32:17
  very limiting factor.
• 32:19
  So the fact that they didn't that they
• 32:21
  did scale the dumbbell weight down for the
• 32:23
  especially for the overhead lunges was
• 32:26
  appropriate.
• 32:27
  Those are challenging.
• 32:29
  It's a challenging movement for people.
• 32:33
  Yeah.
• 32:33
  Jim masters event.
• 32:37
  Do you see shoulder limitations a lot?
• 32:39
  Yeah.
• 32:40
  Overhead squat.
• 32:41
  Yes.
• 32:41
  This overhead lunge.
• 32:42
  I, Jim would have,
• 32:43
  there would have been no way if it
• 32:45
  was fifty pound dumbbell that he would
• 32:46
  have gotten through it.
• 32:47
  He struggled with the thirty five to do
• 32:49
  the overhead lunges.
• 32:53
  Maybe,
• 32:53
  maybe your fifty five year olds can do
• 32:55
  it.
• 32:55
  Okay.
• 32:56
  But you're sixty five plus.
• 33:00
  it's just not worth it.
• 33:01
  Like you,
• 33:01
  you still want it not as a first
• 33:03
  movement.
• 33:04
  You don't want to be blocking a bunch
• 33:05
  of people just for, just for that.
• 33:10
  And if the thirty five is too late
• 33:12
  for you at fifty five, David, go faster.
• 33:15
  Yeah.
• 33:16
  Yeah.
• 33:20
  Um, okay.
• 33:21
  So, um, that's all that.
• 33:23
  There is one thing I did bring this
• 33:25
  up on Friday.
• 33:26
  I want to bring it up one more
• 33:27
  time.
• 33:28
  Um, and that is,
• 33:34
  I don't know if you guys saw this,
• 33:38
  my biggest pet peeve in the world is
• 33:45
  I want to start a petition that media
• 33:48
  should not be on the floor for this
• 33:52
  sport ever.
• 33:54
  I don't care if you're broadcast.
• 33:55
  I don't care if you're podcast.
• 33:57
  I don't care if you're print.
• 33:59
  I don't care what.
• 34:00
  You should not be on the floor.
• 34:01
  There are no media members in an MMA
• 34:03
  ring.
• 34:03
  There are no media members on a football
• 34:05
  field.
• 34:06
  There are no media members on a tennis
• 34:08
  court.
• 34:08
  Mm-hmm.
• 34:11
  It's dumb.
• 34:12
  It's stupid.
• 34:13
  And the fact that this could have been
• 34:15
  disastrous with a thirty five pound
• 34:18
  dumbbell over her head and this cameraman
• 34:21
  could have gotten seriously hurt.
• 34:22
  This camera woman.
• 34:26
  For what?
• 34:26
  What shot was she getting?
• 34:28
  No idea.
• 34:32
  Yeah, I mean, is she getting Miram over?
• 34:34
  Like, I don't even know.
• 34:37
  Lenses are good enough these days that you
• 34:40
  can go right up.
• 34:41
  You can see the whiskers on a face
• 34:44
  from a hundred yards away.
• 34:48
  It's,
• 34:48
  this is just ludicrous and I'm tired of
• 34:51
  them blocking the sight lines when you're
• 34:54
  there in person.
• 34:54
  Agreed.
• 34:58
  I hate it.
• 35:00
  Lucy stayed real chill though.
• 35:01
  She did.
• 35:02
  I mean, she was going to plow through.
• 35:04
  That's another, that's another athlete.
• 35:05
  That's not the same response you get.
• 35:07
  Cause Lucy's a pretty.
• 35:09
  Yeah.
• 35:11
  Common.
• 35:12
  Yeah.
• 35:13
  The fact that that happened is.
• 35:16
  Oh, it makes my blood boil.
• 35:20
  I hate it.
• 35:22
  I hate the fact that,
• 35:23
  and every time I'm at an event now
• 35:26
  and there are cameramen from the broadcast
• 35:28
  standing dead center in a lane to get
• 35:30
  that one shot that is a dumb shot
• 35:33
  anyway.
• 35:35
  We want threes and twos and fours,
• 35:39
  not ones.
• 35:41
  And it blocks everybody that paid whatever
• 35:44
  they did for tickets from seeing the
• 35:47
  event.
• 35:48
  Sometimes it's annoying when you're going
• 35:49
  for a max lift and you have the
• 35:51
  camera right in front of you and you're
• 35:54
  trying to focus.
• 35:55
  It's okay when you see the stands or
• 35:57
  whatever.
• 35:58
  The camera sometimes gets so close to your
• 36:00
  lifting.
• 36:01
  It's like, oh, back away.
• 36:03
  Yep.
• 36:05
  Andrew Sten says,
• 36:06
  imagine if that was Danielle Brandon.
• 36:09
  We weren't naming names, Andrew.
• 36:12
  But not a bad point.
• 36:15
  I've pushed photographers,
• 36:16
  cameramen out of the way numerous times.
• 36:20
  There we go.
• 36:21
  Anyway, Shanna told us on Friday,
• 36:23
  she actually got bumped by a judge from
• 36:26
  another lane at the games and got no
• 36:32
  compensation for that happening,
• 36:36
  which is another,
• 36:38
  that's another conversation for another
• 36:39
  time.
• 36:40
  But anyway, and while we're on media,
• 36:43
  all these media people that are getting
• 36:45
  mystery boxes from CrossFit,
• 36:48
  what did you do that we didn't?
• 36:50
  We're sad.
• 36:52
  I want a CrossFit thing.
• 36:56
  I just want a box of socks like
• 36:57
  J.U.I.
• 37:00
  I would take socks.
• 37:05
  Wayne says the worst part,
• 37:06
  she was taking a picture of Lucy and
• 37:08
  then stepped right in front of her,
• 37:09
  not like she didn't know where Lucy was.
• 37:11
  I don't think she was taking a picture
• 37:12
  of Lucy.
• 37:13
  Cause she immediately,
• 37:14
  like she was trying to get turned in
• 37:15
  front of Lucy.
• 37:16
  I think she thought maybe I'm watching it
• 37:19
  now.
• 37:19
  She's taking pictures of Lucy and then
• 37:22
  shoots in front of her to take the
• 37:23
  picture.
• 37:24
  She does.
• 37:25
  She is taking pictures of Lucy.
• 37:28
  That makes no sense.
• 37:29
  It looked like to me,
• 37:30
  like she was turning to get the lane
• 37:31
  next to her or somebody further down or
• 37:33
  something.
• 37:33
  I don't know.
• 37:36
  Anyway.
• 37:38
  So, so there's that.
• 37:41
  And while we're on media,
• 37:42
  one last thing I have is all you
• 37:45
  masters people, you're spoiled.
• 37:48
  And I'm telling you right now,
• 37:51
  we're spoiling Dugan is killing it out
• 37:54
  there.
• 37:55
  Tons of data and data points.
• 37:59
  And I know a lot of you are
• 38:00
  very, very appreciative of it.
• 38:01
  And I love you for that.
• 38:03
  But the few of you that are demanding
• 38:05
  more, I want to choke you.
• 38:08
  She is doing this on her own volition
• 38:11
  and putting this out there.
• 38:13
  She is killing it.
• 38:15
  And if you people saying that the numbers
• 38:17
  aren't right on a Saturday have done
• 38:19
  CrossFit for more than two years,
• 38:21
  you know that only a few people have
• 38:23
  submitted their score by then.
• 38:26
  To say that she has to document all
• 38:28
  of that other stuff in that graph,
• 38:31
  ridiculous.
• 38:33
  You know better.
• 38:35
  You know better that the numbers on
• 38:36
  Saturday are not final.
• 38:38
  They're not even close to final.
• 38:42
  Leave my girl alone.
• 38:43
  Yeah.
• 38:44
  She's doing way more work than I, I,
• 38:46
  I just,
• 38:47
  I can't believe she keeps updating those.
• 38:50
  We appreciate you, Holly,
• 38:52
  but you don't need it.
• 38:53
  I like,
• 38:53
  I would understand if you did less.
• 38:55
  Yeah.
• 38:57
  Definitely don't do more people back off
• 38:58
  of her.
• 38:59
  Week one.
• 39:00
  I would have been like, see ya.
• 39:01
  Yeah.
• 39:03
  And she's still there plugging away.
• 39:04
  Cause she's a great person.
• 39:06
  She is a much better person than I
• 39:07
  am.
• 39:09
  But damn it, leave her alone.
• 39:12
  She's doing the best she can.
• 39:14
  And it's awesome stuff.
• 39:15
  The fact that she's giving you guys cut
• 39:17
  lines through the weekend of where the
• 39:19
  twenty five percentile is,
• 39:21
  is something that nobody has ever done for
• 39:23
  the Masters community.
• 39:26
  Sure.
• 39:26
  For them to bitch about how it's done.
• 39:29
  Oh, you do it better, people.
• 39:31
  You can do it better.
• 39:32
  Do it.
• 39:34
  I love Holly.
• 39:35
  I love that she's part of this team.
• 39:36
  I love what she creates.
• 39:39
  And be appreciative.
• 39:40
  And many of you are.
• 39:41
  Many of you are thanking her in the
• 39:42
  comments.
• 39:43
  Many of you are saying wonderful things.
• 39:45
  But there are a handful of you that
• 39:48
  we're about to go to the alley.
• 39:50
  And give her a follow.
• 39:51
  Yeah.
• 39:53
  Yes.
• 39:53
  Data Wad.
• 39:55
  There she is.
• 39:57
  She is amazing.
• 39:59
  Stop it.
• 40:02
  There.
• 40:04
  Got that off my chest.
• 40:06
  You're supposed to keep my heart rate
• 40:07
  down.
• 40:07
  I don't think it's happening.
• 40:10
  Are you doing this workout?
• 40:12
  Going to try.
• 40:13
  I have an EKG in the morning.
• 40:14
  And after that, I'm going to try.
• 40:17
  Are you going to an affiliate?
• 40:18
  No, I'm going to film it all here.
• 40:21
  And tomorrow is supposed to be sunny
• 40:22
  because I can't fit twenty feet in my
• 40:24
  garage.
• 40:25
  So I got to go out.
• 40:26
  You can go ten feet, Scott.
• 40:29
  I go to my driveway, too.
• 40:30
  Yeah.
• 40:32
  It was really nice today.
• 40:34
  It got sunnier today, not super warm,
• 40:36
  supposed to be.
• 40:36
  It was supposed to be seventy,
• 40:37
  but now it's a sixty five.
• 40:38
  What's it supposed to be there, Scott?
• 40:41
  Seventy tomorrow.
• 40:42
  It is supposed to be seventy.
• 40:43
  Bright sun.
• 40:43
  Nice.
• 40:45
  Yeah.
• 40:50
  Anyway, there's that.
• 40:52
  The last thing on media we have here
• 40:54
  is all you copycat cat hillers out there.
• 40:59
  We don't need everybody in the space
• 41:01
  copying what Andrew does.
• 41:03
  And if you're going to do it,
• 41:05
  make sure you read the rules, please.
• 41:08
  Yeah.
• 41:10
  Yeah, there's been some that I'm like,
• 41:13
  what are we trying to do here?
• 41:17
  I don't know.
• 41:18
  At least take the judge's course before
• 41:22
  you do that.
• 41:23
  That's all.
• 41:29
  It's only cheating one way.
• 41:31
  It's actually a penalty the other.
• 41:39
  Okay.
• 41:40
  So, yeah, there's that.
• 41:45
  You're not wearing hockey pads?
• 41:47
  I'm not wearing hockey pads.
• 41:53
  I don't know what that is.
• 41:53
  Keep doing what you're doing.
• 41:54
  I appreciate it.
• 41:56
  Yeah, I'm not.
• 41:57
  This was not a dig on Hiller.
• 41:59
  This was a dig on all the copycats
• 42:01
  trying to be Hiller,
• 42:02
  but they're not informed enough to do a
• 42:03
  good job of it.
• 42:05
  Mm-hmm.
• 42:07
  I will say like,
• 42:08
  I know everyone's just like wants somewhat
• 42:11
  less of it.
• 42:12
  So it's more inclusive,
• 42:13
  but like I saw a post today of
• 42:17
  a woman and I think it might've been
• 42:18
  a gym owner,
• 42:19
  like posting somebody's ring muscle up and
• 42:22
  she,
• 42:22
  and it was the best post I've read
• 42:25
  and how everyone needs to post when
• 42:27
  they're posting stuff.
• 42:28
  It was the girl doing the ring muscle
• 42:30
  up.
• 42:31
  She did like
• 42:32
  She did a glide kip.
• 42:33
  So her feet came up.
• 42:34
  She was like, just posted it.
• 42:35
  And she said,
• 42:37
  this was done after the workout.
• 42:39
  No ring muscle ups were submitted.
• 42:40
  Like, that's all people are really asking.
• 42:44
  Just be clear in your post that, like,
• 42:48
  be honest.
• 42:48
  Don't just put stuff out there that this
• 42:50
  was your score.
• 42:51
  This is, you know,
• 42:52
  when you clearly are doing something
• 42:55
  different or wrong.
• 42:57
  i i mean i if people just put
• 43:00
  that caveat in their post there'd be like
• 43:02
  so much less hate or put scaled if
• 43:06
  you're scaled or put foundations if you're
• 43:08
  foundations right we talked to carolyn and
• 43:10
  i talked about that last week just yep
• 43:12
  that's what all people really want check
• 43:14
  those other boxes and all of a sudden
• 43:16
  it's you're okay yep totally um
• 43:22
  So this week, the fittest on earth,
• 43:25
  twenty twenty five was released.
• 43:27
  Did either of you get a chance to
• 43:29
  watch it?
• 43:30
  No, it's only on Apple, isn't it?
• 43:34
  It's on Apple TV.
• 43:35
  Yeah, I don't have that.
• 43:37
  I have, you know, I have no.
• 43:40
  You don't need an Apple product to watch
• 43:41
  Apple TV.
• 43:43
  Don't I have to have like an Apple
• 43:45
  ID or something to like log into it?
• 43:49
  I don't know.
• 43:50
  I don't think so.
• 43:51
  It's just an app.
• 43:53
  Vicky said it's on time now.
• 43:55
  Okay.
• 43:58
  Then I'll go watch.
• 43:59
  There's ways to order it.
• 44:01
  It was good.
• 44:01
  I liked it.
• 44:04
  I like all the CrossFit stuff most of
• 44:07
  the time.
• 44:12
  I was in it for one second.
• 44:14
  I saw myself in the background so I
• 44:16
  could tell people I was at the games
• 44:17
  during that.
• 44:19
  It was proof that I was there.
• 44:24
  Yeah, I wanted to get your impressions.
• 44:29
  Like I've said,
• 44:29
  I'm a very hard grader of these things
• 44:31
  because I just want something new, right?
• 44:36
  They have the ability to give us something
• 44:38
  that like other people can't.
• 44:40
  And I felt like there were a lot
• 44:44
  of moments in this that were really good,
• 44:46
  like little pockets of things that I liked
• 44:48
  a lot.
• 44:50
  But I thought there were some misses too
• 44:52
  because there was a lot of focus on
• 44:54
  Tia as this being her last one.
• 44:56
  I think she deserved a full documentary of
• 44:58
  her own.
• 45:01
  And that would have been awesome.
• 45:03
  And then the rest of it could have
• 45:04
  been focused on the games themselves.
• 45:08
  I think Olivia coming back from where she
• 45:10
  did to third place was a major story.
• 45:13
  And she was interviewed throughout.
• 45:15
  So they had her there.
• 45:17
  They were talking to her.
• 45:20
  It would have been a simple ad to
• 45:22
  have her in there.
• 45:24
  Her and Danielle's interviews were,
• 45:27
  I think,
• 45:27
  done afterwards at their own location.
• 45:31
  I'm pretty sure Olivia's interview is at
• 45:33
  Jacob Heppner's barn.
• 45:35
  Danielle's interview is wherever she lives
• 45:39
  now.
• 45:40
  Nashville?
• 45:41
  No, she's in Florida.
• 45:42
  Tampa?
• 45:43
  Yeah.
• 45:45
  Okay.
• 45:48
  would like to see more of the athletes
• 45:51
  prior to the games and see if like
• 45:53
  some stories prior and then kind of blend
• 45:56
  it in with the game stuff versus like
• 45:59
  event by event um but i mean i
• 46:04
  i enjoyed it i like it i thought
• 46:07
  the heyday of the documentary was when the
• 46:11
  doc came out and the behind the scenes
• 46:13
  came out right after
• 46:15
  Because the doc gave you the top of
• 46:17
  the heap and how it all went.
• 46:20
  And then the behind the scenes was all
• 46:22
  the other athletes and kind of behind the
• 46:24
  scenes of what was going on during that
• 46:26
  time.
• 46:27
  And I thought together they made one great
• 46:29
  product.
• 46:31
  And now that all the different behind the
• 46:33
  scenes are done separately and apart from
• 46:36
  the CrossFit documentary,
• 46:38
  I don't think it has the synergy it
• 46:41
  used to.
• 46:43
  Cause we're getting too much content,
• 46:44
  very similar to that prior.
• 46:46
  And then it's almost just like a
• 46:47
  repetition of what we just saw,
• 46:49
  which I would agree.
• 46:50
  Exactly.
• 46:52
  Um, exactly.
• 46:54
  Yeah.
• 46:56
  So it almost feels like we're not getting
• 46:58
  much new stuff.
• 46:59
  Some, some parts were,
• 47:01
  were new for me anyways.
• 47:02
  Um, but yeah, I, I get that.
• 47:07
  Like I thought the pegboard piece was fun
• 47:09
  to watch.
• 47:12
  I did not know how much was going
• 47:14
  on behind the scenes for that.
• 47:15
  And I thought that that was a really
• 47:17
  great part.
• 47:19
  I thought James and Dallin and Jason
• 47:23
  sitting in the stands,
• 47:24
  get it for the athlete brief.
• 47:27
  And their conversation was really fun.
• 47:31
  I thought some of this stuff back in
• 47:32
  the athlete area was really good.
• 47:35
  I'm trying to think of what else.
• 47:40
  There was a lot of good stuff in
• 47:41
  it,
• 47:41
  like probably five or six points where I
• 47:44
  was like, oh, that's good.
• 47:46
  But there was a lot of like dips
• 47:48
  of just regular race stuff in the middle.
• 47:50
  That's all.
• 47:53
  I'm going to go off topic.
• 47:54
  Speaking of behind the scenes,
• 47:55
  I've been really liking meme for time,
• 47:58
  Roger.
• 47:58
  I don't know if you've been watching some
• 48:00
  of his behind the scenes,
• 48:01
  but he's asking like great questions to
• 48:03
  people, different types of questions.
• 48:06
  Like it's,
• 48:07
  he's been doing a really good job with
• 48:09
  his behind the scenes.
• 48:09
  I just, just followed his YouTube channel.
• 48:12
  He says that he's done a bunch of
• 48:13
  stuff before,
• 48:14
  but I'm just getting a hold of it
• 48:17
  now, but his name is Roderick.
• 48:19
  I just, so we get it right.
• 48:21
  yeah roger yeah roger did i say it
• 48:23
  wrong i thought you said roger but i
• 48:25
  maybe no roger roderick i just kind of
• 48:28
  yeah put it all together um yeah i've
• 48:32
  been liking his stuff i think his uh
• 48:35
  his questions are are different than a lot
• 48:38
  of the questions that we just typically
• 48:40
  see from the behind the scenes yeah he
• 48:43
  was
• 48:45
  Little known fact,
• 48:46
  he was a part of our games coverage
• 48:48
  in twenty twenty three.
• 48:50
  The year that Lex and Mitch McLuhan and
• 48:55
  Raph were a part of it.
• 48:57
  He was one of the analysts that came
• 48:58
  on to during that.
• 49:01
  So I've known him a long time.
• 49:01
  He's really he's one of the nicest guys
• 49:04
  in the space for sure.
• 49:06
  Yeah,
• 49:06
  he just did it behind the scenes of
• 49:08
  the Proven group doing Fight Gone Bad.
• 49:12
  He did it behind the scenes of the
• 49:13
  twenty six point one and interviewed all
• 49:16
  the athletes there and Boz and Dave.
• 49:19
  And yeah, it was really good.
• 49:24
  Fergie says in Canadian,
• 49:26
  Roderick sounds like Ruga.
• 49:27
  Roderick, our first pencil,
• 49:34
  pen and Sharpie.
• 49:35
  Bring it on.
• 49:38
  pencil pen or sharpie wadapalooza's move
• 49:40
  to march has hidden them on the crossfit
• 49:42
  calendar even though they're a part of the
• 49:45
  open pen yeah i'd say pen it has
• 49:51
  it's it's lost a little bit it creeped
• 49:54
  up and i was like oh my god
• 49:55
  they just sent the list today and i
• 49:56
  was like oh completely forgot about it i'm
• 50:00
  going sharpie
• 50:02
  Because I didn't even have it on the
• 50:03
  rundown and Carolyn had to remind me that
• 50:06
  it was happening this week for me to
• 50:09
  remember to put it on the rundown to
• 50:10
  talk about.
• 50:12
  And for an event to be as epic
• 50:15
  as it has been over the last ten
• 50:17
  plus years to completely be forgotten on
• 50:20
  the calendar,
• 50:22
  it boggles the mind a little bit.
• 50:24
  I mean,
• 50:25
  it's hosting twenty six point three.
• 50:26
  So we have been talking about it.
• 50:30
  but I think when it was,
• 50:32
  I think when it was placed like in
• 50:34
  January and there was nothing happening in
• 50:36
  the season,
• 50:37
  we were like talking about it many weeks
• 50:39
  prior, leading up, analyzing the workouts,
• 50:42
  all of this, making predictions.
• 50:44
  And now it's just kind of hidden within,
• 50:46
  um, within the open.
• 50:48
  Yeah.
• 50:50
  Uh, Penn did pop up quick.
• 50:52
  It really did.
• 50:55
  Nothing beats Miami in January.
• 50:56
  I will tell you this.
• 50:57
  Everybody thinks that Miami is hot in
• 50:59
  January.
• 51:00
  The last two times I went to water
• 51:02
  Palooza freezing cold and raining.
• 51:04
  And I think it was even worse.
• 51:06
  It would have been even worse this year.
• 51:08
  They've, they've had a cold winter.
• 51:12
  Yeah.
• 51:12
  It has not been a fun hangout in,
• 51:22
  They'll have good weather.
• 51:24
  It was freaking beautiful when I was
• 51:25
  there.
• 51:25
  It was eighty four.
• 51:28
  And they're even another couple hours
• 51:29
  south of where you were.
• 51:31
  So.
• 51:33
  So, yeah.
• 51:34
  So we want to look at who is
• 51:40
  there.
• 51:41
  I have it here in a second.
• 51:48
  So.
• 51:51
  Here are the elite individuals.
• 51:53
  I'll try to blow it up a little
• 51:54
  bit.
• 51:54
  Let me get rid of the pencil, pen,
• 51:56
  and Sharpie.
• 51:56
  There we go.
• 52:01
  All right.
• 52:02
  Let's look at the women first.
• 52:05
  They have cut down the field of the
• 52:07
  women.
• 52:09
  and the men to twenty elite athletes this
• 52:12
  year instead of thirty.
• 52:15
  Mathilde Garnes, Emma Tall,
• 52:18
  Martina Borini, Danny Spiegel,
• 52:21
  Ellie Turner, Emily Rolfe, Lucy Campbell,
• 52:23
  Astrid Tinn, Mariana Meza,
• 52:28
  Hannah Black, Abigail Domet, Eileen Wurz,
• 52:32
  Andra Moistus, Lydia Fish, Ariel Lowen,
• 52:36
  Perneil Christensen, Elisa Fuliano,
• 52:39
  Jess Green, Janie Chevre.
• 52:44
  So who do you think has the best
• 52:48
  opportunity to come out of this on top?
• 52:50
  Lucy.
• 52:51
  Lucy.
• 52:53
  It's hard not to go against Lucy right
• 52:55
  now.
• 52:55
  She's looking great.
• 52:59
  Even though she's like, oh,
• 53:01
  twenty six point one.
• 53:02
  Yeah,
• 53:02
  it's OK for a score at this point
• 53:04
  in the season.
• 53:04
  I was like, dude, crushed it.
• 53:09
  Yeah, it's hard.
• 53:09
  It's hard not to go against Lucy on
• 53:11
  this.
• 53:13
  Yeah, I have Lucy.
• 53:14
  So I went with a dark horse pick
• 53:16
  because I knew like Lucy would be the
• 53:18
  favorite for sure.
• 53:19
  And my dark horse is Elisa Fuliano.
• 53:21
  So that's who I have second.
• 53:23
  That's who I have second.
• 53:28
  Just last year, taking the year off.
• 53:30
  She did great in the event she
• 53:31
  participated in.
• 53:32
  Yep.
• 53:33
  Would have qualified for the games
• 53:34
  multiple times last year.
• 53:36
  Um,
• 53:38
  And so, yeah,
• 53:40
  I think with the year off,
• 53:43
  because she didn't do WFP or the game
• 53:45
  season.
• 53:46
  Right.
• 53:47
  She just did a couple events that she
• 53:48
  wanted to.
• 53:51
  And so I think she's my dark horse
• 53:53
  pick to possibly win if Lucy doesn't.
• 53:56
  Yeah, good pick.
• 53:57
  I agree.
• 53:59
  I'm curious how healthy Emma Tall is at
• 54:02
  this point.
• 54:03
  Me too.
• 54:03
  I don't even have her in my top
• 54:05
  five.
• 54:05
  Because if she's healthy...
• 54:09
  Like she's right up there podium too.
• 54:12
  But I just don't know.
• 54:13
  She's had a couple injuries last year.
• 54:16
  Had an amazing one stop at one of
• 54:19
  the tours where she was battling with
• 54:21
  Laura.
• 54:21
  But other than that, like injuries.
• 54:26
  I think the rest are very program
• 54:28
  dependent.
• 54:29
  Yeah.
• 54:30
  I mean,
• 54:30
  I think Ariel will probably be your third
• 54:33
  podium.
• 54:33
  But yeah, Domet.
• 54:35
  Oh, go ahead.
• 54:39
  It'll be interesting to see how Ellie does
• 54:40
  live.
• 54:41
  We haven't really seen her.
• 54:43
  I mean, she's been gone two years.
• 54:45
  I know.
• 54:45
  It's such an unknown.
• 54:46
  Uh-huh.
• 54:47
  My thing with her,
• 54:48
  Ariel has never done well at Wadapalooza.
• 54:51
  Yeah.
• 54:52
  Which is crazy because I find Wadapalooza
• 54:55
  is very like cross-fitty type workouts.
• 54:58
  Yeah.
• 54:59
  And when I think about Ariel,
• 55:01
  she's probably one of the most
• 55:02
  well-rounded and best coaches
• 55:05
  CrossFit-y type athlete.
• 55:07
  So I feel like she should do very
• 55:09
  well.
• 55:10
  So I expect her to be fighting for
• 55:13
  that top spot.
• 55:15
  Um, I think that, that what,
• 55:18
  what a Palooza presents is a lot of
• 55:20
  unknown and a lot of unknowable just
• 55:22
  because it's outdoor.
• 55:25
  You don't know what the heat's going to
• 55:26
  be like.
• 55:26
  You don't know what the weather's going to
• 55:27
  be like,
• 55:29
  and you have to be able to adjust
• 55:32
  and maybe just maybe working out in your
• 55:34
  garage every day where it's the same.
• 55:36
  It's your bar.
• 55:37
  Your stuff isn't ideal for an event
• 55:41
  outdoors at this point in the season.
• 55:46
  And I love Ariel.
• 55:47
  You guys know, like,
• 55:48
  she's one of my favorites.
• 55:49
  Yep.
• 55:52
  I do think Patrick makes a great point,
• 55:53
  too.
• 55:54
  And we didn't see her last season,
• 55:55
  and she's been teamed the year before
• 55:56
  that, was Mathilde Garnes.
• 56:00
  Phenomenal athlete.
• 56:03
  We could see big things from her this
• 56:04
  year, too.
• 56:06
  Is she an outgoing team this year?
• 56:10
  I don't know.
• 56:10
  I haven't really looked into it.
• 56:12
  But I know she did the qualifier for
• 56:14
  WFP.
• 56:14
  Yes.
• 56:14
  Yep.
• 56:16
  and um and she did this so we'll
• 56:21
  see it yeah one one that i wanna
• 56:25
  see in person is and i feel like
• 56:26
  has been on the
• 56:28
  just getting close.
• 56:32
  She's good.
• 56:32
  And she's crushed the open the last few
• 56:34
  years.
• 56:35
  And I think last year in the semifinals
• 56:37
  has was really close as well.
• 56:39
  So I'm just one more year,
• 56:41
  just seeing where she's at.
• 56:42
  I think she's a brew athlete with coach
• 56:44
  L is what I think she is.
• 56:48
  I think she could be a little dark
• 56:50
  horse too.
• 56:55
  um fergie says dylan is awesome too great
• 56:57
  guy to hang out with in the stands
• 56:58
  dylan is awesome it's awesome i mean this
• 57:04
  woman's field is very strong what's going
• 57:11
  on lost his audio there's a lot like
• 57:16
  There's a lot of games athletes here and
• 57:18
  very high semifinal athletes.
• 57:19
  Like this is a great field on the
• 57:21
  woman's side.
• 57:22
  I find the woman's side is stronger,
• 57:23
  deeper than the men's side here.
• 57:27
  Would you agree?
• 57:29
  I don't know if I would agree with
• 57:32
  that.
• 57:32
  I mean, I think there's ten,
• 57:34
  twelve excellent athletes on both sides.
• 57:37
  And then there's you're like five,
• 57:38
  maybe six that you're like, honestly,
• 57:41
  if there had been thirty, not many.
• 57:44
  If there had been thirty,
• 57:45
  I think there would have been way too
• 57:48
  many unknowns.
• 57:49
  I'm glad there's only twenty.
• 57:51
  Yeah, it's a strong field.
• 57:59
  Still trying to get his audio up.
• 58:01
  Still trying to get it?
• 58:01
  I'm up.
• 58:03
  Whoa.
• 58:05
  It's like you're in timeout every week.
• 58:07
  We're an hour in.
• 58:10
  So I heard you guys briefly say the
• 58:13
  men and the women.
• 58:17
  Your audio seems off a little bit.
• 58:19
  No?
• 58:19
  Yeah.
• 58:22
  I mean, I'll take it.
• 58:24
  I'll take it better than nothing.
• 58:28
  Well,
• 58:29
  Carolyn was saying she thinks the women's
• 58:31
  feel is stronger than the men's.
• 58:33
  And I don't know that I agree with
• 58:34
  that.
• 58:35
  I agree with Carolyn.
• 58:37
  I think there's twelve great names on both
• 58:40
  sides.
• 58:43
  It does sound like laptop, Mike.
• 58:45
  I switched it.
• 58:46
  It should be better.
• 58:47
  Oh, you're perfect now.
• 58:48
  Yep.
• 58:48
  You're great.
• 58:48
  Yeah.
• 58:50
  I switched it.
• 58:52
  I think there's one twelve, I think.
• 58:57
  On the men's side,
• 58:58
  I who do you have is like a.
• 59:02
  I have Austin Hatfield, Ty Jenkins.
• 59:06
  Maybe Pat Vellner.
• 59:07
  We don't know where he is in his
• 59:08
  recovery from everything.
• 59:11
  James Sprague.
• 59:14
  You said Ty Jenkins.
• 59:17
  I did.
• 59:19
  I mean, I'm excited to see Ilya here.
• 59:24
  I think I just think more and more
• 59:26
  competition experience is just only going
• 59:28
  to help that guy.
• 59:30
  I'm not saying it's not going to be
• 59:31
  fun to watch,
• 59:32
  but I think of the elite elite.
• 59:34
  Max Krieg.
• 59:36
  Come on.
• 59:37
  No, she said semifinals level athletes.
• 59:41
  I didn't hear that part.
• 59:43
  He's on the women's side,
• 59:44
  and I think there's close to that.
• 59:48
  I don't know, maybe eight,
• 59:50
  nine on the men's.
• 59:53
  It's hard to bet against James on that
• 59:56
  men's side.
• 59:56
  Yeah, hard on James.
• 1:00:00
  I think I have Ty right now as
• 1:00:03
  second.
• 1:00:03
  I just don't, I haven't, I mean,
• 1:00:06
  I wasn't impressed as much with Austin on
• 1:00:08
  week one of his open,
• 1:00:10
  but it is hard to, it's,
• 1:00:12
  it's hard to judge someone that just
• 1:00:13
  learns a workout too, like,
• 1:00:15
  and does it versus people that get to
• 1:00:17
  study it and do it.
• 1:00:18
  So I'm trying not to put too much
• 1:00:20
  on that,
• 1:00:21
  but I also wasn't as impressed too.
• 1:00:24
  So I was like,
• 1:00:25
  And then Pat didn't have that great of
• 1:00:27
  a week one, like wasn't even close.
• 1:00:29
  And then with his medical stuff.
• 1:00:30
  So I'm just not sure that he's in
• 1:00:33
  prime Pat water Palooza type shape,
• 1:00:38
  but so you never know with him.
• 1:00:42
  Counting it up.
• 1:00:43
  There are ten women that have been to
• 1:00:44
  the games.
• 1:00:44
  Okay.
• 1:00:46
  Six men.
• 1:00:48
  Okay.
• 1:00:48
  Are we talking about individual or team?
• 1:00:50
  Individual.
• 1:00:55
  Okay, Nick Matthews has been there seven.
• 1:01:00
  But, I don't know.
• 1:01:03
  Okay.
• 1:01:04
  But anyway,
• 1:01:05
  so your picks on the men's side,
• 1:01:06
  did you guys make those while I was?
• 1:01:09
  I have Sprague winning.
• 1:01:10
  In the cone of silence.
• 1:01:11
  I think we all have Sprague winning,
• 1:01:12
  right?
• 1:01:13
  Like, this is, I mean,
• 1:01:15
  I will say it's probably an easier,
• 1:01:18
  I don't know.
• 1:01:19
  I can't even come up with a dark
• 1:01:21
  horse against Sprague in this field.
• 1:01:22
  I have ladies.
• 1:01:23
  I have eleven females that have been to
• 1:01:25
  the games individually out of that field.
• 1:01:32
  Garns, Tall, Spiegel, Turner, Rolfe,
• 1:01:36
  Campbell, Meza, Domet.
• 1:01:40
  She was at the games this past year.
• 1:01:42
  I would say there's been way more.
• 1:01:45
  Lydia, Lowen, Fuliano.
• 1:01:48
  I got you now.
• 1:01:49
  Eleven.
• 1:01:50
  I left off.
• 1:01:51
  That's more than half the field has at
• 1:01:54
  least individual games experience.
• 1:01:57
  Yeah,
• 1:01:57
  and I think there are people that could
• 1:01:58
  compete with Lucy on the women's side.
• 1:02:00
  There's nobody that's competing with James
• 1:02:02
  on the men's side.
• 1:02:04
  Yeah,
• 1:02:05
  I have Leahy as second and Koski as
• 1:02:07
  third, personally.
• 1:02:08
  I put Ty and then Bill.
• 1:02:13
  I'd probably flip that.
• 1:02:16
  I think I would go James, Bill, Ty.
• 1:02:19
  yeah and really I'm just rolling dice into
• 1:02:21
  a basket but I'll watch hopefully there's
• 1:02:27
  fun events hopefully we get to see
• 1:02:29
  somebody somebody come out of nowhere
• 1:02:31
  that's what that's what's cool about these
• 1:02:33
  events and what Jamie and I always talk
• 1:02:35
  about there are stories below the top five
• 1:02:38
  top ten who is on their way to
• 1:02:40
  come up who's here to show what they
• 1:02:42
  got and we get that opportunity this
• 1:02:44
  weekend
• 1:02:47
  yeah i think i'm excited to see that
• 1:02:49
  in the in this men's field just because
• 1:02:52
  there's some people that when there's a
• 1:02:56
  lot of guys in there i really like
• 1:02:58
  and i want them to succeed um just
• 1:03:03
  going in i don't i don't see it
• 1:03:06
  yet yeah there is no swimming right no
• 1:03:12
  swimming huh they couldn't get a beach
• 1:03:14
  access there
• 1:03:15
  And there's like a beach run that they
• 1:03:17
  run.
• 1:03:18
  They run into the water.
• 1:03:19
  I think we did that like many,
• 1:03:20
  many years ago,
• 1:03:21
  but it's not an actual swim.
• 1:03:24
  I haven't looked at the workouts like
• 1:03:25
  literally until you said that today.
• 1:03:27
  I forgot it was happening.
• 1:03:29
  Yeah.
• 1:03:29
  Which goes back to our pen pencil.
• 1:03:30
  There's like a row wall ball,
• 1:03:33
  legless rope climb event.
• 1:03:35
  There's like this gross one.
• 1:03:37
  That's like a Cal echo bike or a
• 1:03:39
  soul bike.
• 1:03:39
  I don't know which one they have into
• 1:03:43
  a max clean and jerk like for load.
• 1:03:46
  And then I think there's like three rounds
• 1:03:47
  of it, three or four rounds.
• 1:03:48
  But you have to do the buy-in of
• 1:03:49
  the bike first.
• 1:03:52
  So that's a tough one.
• 1:03:55
  Yeah, I mean, most of it's
• 1:04:00
  All right.
• 1:04:00
  So next thing up, uh,
• 1:04:02
  lo and behold this week,
• 1:04:03
  I was looking at the WFP qualifiers, uh,
• 1:04:06
  just to see who made it.
• 1:04:08
  And I see our partner,
• 1:04:10
  Carolyn Prevo on the list.
• 1:04:12
  I didn't even know she was doing them.
• 1:04:15
  She wasn't going to,
• 1:04:16
  I feel like when they,
• 1:04:18
  when they added the week and changed it
• 1:04:20
  to London, you, I had already done them.
• 1:04:23
  Oh, they were all done.
• 1:04:24
  Yeah.
• 1:04:24
  I had already done them when I was
• 1:04:25
  in Mexico.
• 1:04:27
  And then they switched it.
• 1:04:28
  Ask me what scores Carolyn gets.
• 1:04:30
  This is how she keeps things under the
• 1:04:32
  radar.
• 1:04:33
  Lex told me to do them.
• 1:04:35
  I did them.
• 1:04:39
  So,
• 1:04:39
  so does this mean anything for WFP tour
• 1:04:41
  stop one?
• 1:04:43
  I have not made up my mind yet.
• 1:04:45
  If I'll go,
• 1:04:47
  I don't know how that would work with
• 1:04:48
  my school right now because I compete the
• 1:04:51
  week prior at legends and,
• 1:04:55
  So I'm already missing four consecutive
• 1:04:59
  days for Legends,
• 1:05:00
  which is something I don't like to do
• 1:05:03
  ever.
• 1:05:03
  The only time I ever miss four is
• 1:05:06
  if I would go overseas,
• 1:05:07
  which is like once every few years.
• 1:05:10
  And then maybe I come back to school
• 1:05:16
  Tuesday, Wednesday,
• 1:05:18
  leave after school on Wednesday,
• 1:05:21
  and then miss...
• 1:05:23
  Thursday, Friday,
• 1:05:24
  and the following Monday.
• 1:05:28
  Tough.
• 1:05:29
  And then, yeah.
• 1:05:32
  I just feel for my, like, math student.
• 1:05:34
  So CrossFit kind of asks,
• 1:05:37
  did you think it was London, Ontario?
• 1:05:39
  I wish.
• 1:05:40
  That would be amazing.
• 1:05:43
  I would love that.
• 1:05:45
  I just want to say, like...
• 1:05:48
  I have said for the last couple weeks,
• 1:05:49
  I think you are one of the perfect
• 1:05:52
  candidates to do WFP.
• 1:05:53
  Yeah.
• 1:05:54
  Well,
• 1:05:54
  I want to do Indiana in the summer.
• 1:05:58
  And then the thought process that Lex said
• 1:06:00
  shows there's no point in doing Indiana.
• 1:06:02
  You're wasting your money because...
• 1:06:05
  You're not going to have enough tour
• 1:06:06
  points anyways.
• 1:06:07
  So if you're going to do it,
• 1:06:09
  you have to go do the first one.
• 1:06:10
  You have to do the first one.
• 1:06:11
  I totally agree.
• 1:06:11
  So then I went and did the workouts
• 1:06:15
  for the first one just to see where
• 1:06:20
  I would fall.
• 1:06:21
  And then I think I'm right in the
• 1:06:22
  middle of the, or towards the end anyways,
• 1:06:24
  of the qualifiers.
• 1:06:26
  And so now I have to decide.
• 1:06:30
  Did you put one hundred percent effort
• 1:06:31
  into the qualifiers?
• 1:06:33
  I mean,
• 1:06:34
  I do a hundred percent in any qualifier
• 1:06:36
  and whether if I were to redo,
• 1:06:37
  I'm sure that I would have a better
• 1:06:39
  score because I'll attack it differently,
• 1:06:41
  but I don't do a workout for a
• 1:06:42
  qualifier.
• 1:06:43
  Like, like just going through the motion,
• 1:06:46
  like I'm going to give it my best
• 1:06:47
  of that day.
• 1:06:49
  I know that,
• 1:06:49
  but I'm just letting the audience in on
• 1:06:51
  a little Carolyn Prevo here.
• 1:06:53
  But like, I don't,
• 1:06:54
  I won't say that it's like the open
• 1:06:56
  for me where I try to go a
• 1:06:59
  little harder sometimes.
• 1:07:01
  I love the open.
• 1:07:03
  So,
• 1:07:04
  Anyway,
• 1:07:05
  congratulations on making WFP tour stop
• 1:07:08
  one.
• 1:07:08
  I think you are completely capable of
• 1:07:11
  getting a pro card and getting one of
• 1:07:14
  those is so valuable going into next
• 1:07:17
  season to help fund your entire season.
• 1:07:20
  Because I know as an athlete where you're
• 1:07:22
  at, it's expensive.
• 1:07:25
  And to get any kind of money to
• 1:07:26
  support that is a great thing.
• 1:07:29
  And I think you're a great candidate for
• 1:07:30
  this.
• 1:07:31
  Yeah.
• 1:07:31
  I mean, if I,
• 1:07:32
  if I look at the WFP,
• 1:07:33
  I think it's for athletes at the very
• 1:07:35
  top, easy for them to make, you know,
• 1:07:38
  money.
• 1:07:39
  And then for athletes like me that are
• 1:07:40
  bubble athletes that are on our own dime
• 1:07:43
  every time basically,
• 1:07:44
  and can maybe fight for a spot.
• 1:07:46
  So we'll see.
• 1:07:48
  Yeah.
• 1:07:49
  Well, congratulations.
• 1:07:50
  So that leads us to the next pencil
• 1:07:52
  pen or Sharpie.
• 1:07:53
  And this is the fight that Carolyn and
• 1:07:54
  I had this week.
• 1:07:56
  Can you remember what we were fighting
• 1:07:59
  about?
• 1:07:59
  Oh, I remember.
• 1:08:01
  Pencil pen or Sharpie.
• 1:08:02
  Sarah Sigmund's daughter should have
• 1:08:04
  received a wild card invite to the World
• 1:08:06
  Fitness Project Tour Stop One.
• 1:08:09
  Pencil.
• 1:08:10
  Pencil.
• 1:08:15
  And I say Sharpie.
• 1:08:18
  pencil i mean do if it wasn't if
• 1:08:24
  she wants to be competing then she can
• 1:08:25
  do the qualifier just like carolyn did
• 1:08:27
  like what that makes no sense it's if
• 1:08:31
  it wasn't if it was in iceland give
• 1:08:33
  it like that's that's different like bring
• 1:08:36
  all the daughters before the season
• 1:08:41
  started wfp announced
• 1:08:44
  how they were going to fill their roster
• 1:08:45
  for each tour stop and in that roster
• 1:08:48
  it said we hold five wild card invites
• 1:08:52
  for whoever we would like to invite and
• 1:08:55
  i'm a huge sarah fan like i like
• 1:08:57
  her too she was my favorite when i
• 1:08:59
  started crossfit like the number one but i
• 1:09:03
  think that should go through the qualifier
• 1:09:12
  Here's my argument for why it's good to
• 1:09:14
  invite her.
• 1:09:15
  And I see all the washed.
• 1:09:18
  There is interest to see if she's washed.
• 1:09:22
  Nobody brings more eyes to the table to
• 1:09:25
  see if she is truly washed than Sarah
• 1:09:28
  Sigmund's daughter.
• 1:09:29
  If I'm WFP,
• 1:09:30
  I want as many eyes on my event
• 1:09:32
  as possible.
• 1:09:34
  Then when I get the eyes,
• 1:09:35
  I need to put on a show.
• 1:09:37
  If I get them there to see if
• 1:09:38
  Sarah's washed and they stay for the show,
• 1:09:41
  then I've won viewers and I've moved
• 1:09:44
  forward with my project.
• 1:09:48
  That's why I think they need to invite
• 1:09:50
  her.
• 1:09:52
  She is,
• 1:09:53
  there are fifty spots in this thing.
• 1:09:56
  The games only gets thirty.
• 1:09:58
  Waterpalooza's only doing twenty.
• 1:10:00
  Like,
• 1:10:00
  this is a very deep amount of people
• 1:10:04
  that are being invited to this.
• 1:10:06
  And to spend one of those spots on
• 1:10:09
  a legend to get some eyeballs on the
• 1:10:10
  sport, I think is, should be allowed.
• 1:10:14
  And should be done by a group like
• 1:10:17
  WFP.
• 1:10:17
  Now, if this is a game season,
• 1:10:19
  absolutely not.
• 1:10:21
  This is for the people on this season,
• 1:10:23
  not anybody else.
• 1:10:26
  But for something that is not part of
• 1:10:28
  the big prize season,
• 1:10:32
  it should be allowed to do this and
• 1:10:35
  do it if they want to.
• 1:10:37
  Fergie,
• 1:10:38
  you're arguing something different.
• 1:10:40
  I'm not saying that she is going to
• 1:10:42
  go in there and do well or do
• 1:10:43
  good.
• 1:10:44
  I'm saying she's going to bring eyeballs
• 1:10:46
  to see where she's at.
• 1:10:55
  John George,
• 1:10:57
  they have nothing to lose by inviting your
• 1:10:59
  smart move.
• 1:11:07
  So that's my argument.
• 1:11:08
  I understand where, like,
• 1:11:10
  if this were the games,
• 1:11:11
  I would be totally on board with you
• 1:11:12
  guys.
• 1:11:14
  Or a semifinal.
• 1:11:15
  Like,
• 1:11:15
  I hate that semifinals are inviting people
• 1:11:18
  before the season starts.
• 1:11:20
  This season should be based on this.
• 1:11:22
  Or middle of the season,
• 1:11:23
  as we saw today.
• 1:11:28
  Yeah, at least, well...
• 1:11:32
  That's causing a lot online, though.
• 1:11:34
  Have you seen the back and forths?
• 1:11:36
  I have.
• 1:11:37
  So I have that.
• 1:11:38
  I can pull it up.
• 1:11:40
  So along with this,
• 1:11:42
  and this was our argument during the week,
• 1:11:45
  this took a whole morning of us arguing,
• 1:11:48
  and then we just agreed to disagree.
• 1:11:51
  But...
• 1:11:52
  Then today it was announced that the
• 1:11:56
  French throwdown has invited Roman
• 1:11:59
  Krennikoff to come participate at their
• 1:12:00
  semifinal event.
• 1:12:03
  And the barbell spin made a post showing
• 1:12:07
  that it wasn't in the rule book.
• 1:12:13
  Um, so whoops, I'm on the,
• 1:12:20
  I'm on the wrong thing.
• 1:12:20
  Hold on.
• 1:12:21
  Uh,
• 1:12:23
  I can't get my thing to shrink.
• 1:12:25
  There we go.
• 1:12:29
  I need a producer.
• 1:12:31
  All right.
• 1:12:35
  So I think this was the original post
• 1:12:39
  by barbell spin.
• 1:12:41
  Uh,
• 1:12:41
  there are only two paths to qualify for
• 1:12:42
  the French throwdown top twenty worldwide
• 1:12:45
  on FTD online qualifier or top twenty in
• 1:12:48
  Europe in the quarterfinals.
• 1:12:52
  and this is from the rule book and
• 1:12:55
  then you see that so how did roman
• 1:12:57
  get an invite uh he didn't do the
• 1:12:59
  online qualifier and he isn't from europe
• 1:13:01
  right there was a response to this from
• 1:13:05
  the french throwdown saying you didn't
• 1:13:07
  read the full rule book and then they
• 1:13:09
  posted the full rule saying that it is
• 1:13:11
  their their discretion of who they can
• 1:13:15
  invite to this event
• 1:13:18
  Following that,
• 1:13:19
  I have to go to a different Instagram
• 1:13:21
  post.
• 1:13:25
  Stories.
• 1:13:26
  Yeah.
• 1:13:29
  We have this that was posted.
• 1:13:31
  That is a conversation, I believe,
• 1:13:34
  with the French Throwdown and Moritz
• 1:13:36
  Fiebig.
• 1:13:37
  Because they say, hi, Moritz.
• 1:13:39
  Now, it was posted by Toby Buckland.
• 1:13:41
  So, it's confusing.
• 1:13:42
  Yeah.
• 1:13:43
  But I don't know.
• 1:13:44
  And it says, thank you for reaching out.
• 1:13:47
  We are really happy to hear from you.
• 1:13:49
  We're sorry,
• 1:13:49
  but we won't be offering any invitations
• 1:13:53
  this year in order to be fair with
• 1:13:55
  the ticketing process for the games.
• 1:14:00
  We're confident and hopeful that you'll
• 1:14:05
  secure your spot through the
• 1:14:08
  quarterfinals.
• 1:14:10
  Wishing you the best of luck.
• 1:14:12
  Then on the next story,
• 1:14:18
  Harry Lightfoot posts that, hello,
• 1:14:21
  Heinrich,
• 1:14:21
  the top-twenty men after the quarterfinals
• 1:14:24
  will be invited and the top-twenty from
• 1:14:25
  our qualifiers as well,
• 1:14:27
  but we won't send any wild cards if
• 1:14:29
  that was your question.
• 1:14:32
  So in several communications with
• 1:14:34
  athletes,
• 1:14:35
  they said they were not – and you
• 1:14:38
  can see this all on the barbell spin
• 1:14:40
  –
• 1:14:41
  that they were not doing wild cards this
• 1:14:43
  year.
• 1:14:45
  They say that in the whatever.
• 1:14:48
  They said to athletes that they were not
• 1:14:50
  doing wild cards,
• 1:14:51
  and then they extend a wild card to
• 1:14:53
  Roman, who does not qualify for either.
• 1:14:58
  Who is a Mayhem athlete who Mayhem
• 1:15:00
  program?
• 1:15:00
  So it also looks bad on that part
• 1:15:04
  to me.
• 1:15:05
  Yeah.
• 1:15:06
  Because Mayhem is programming their event,
• 1:15:08
  and you invite a Mayhem athlete as a
• 1:15:11
  special invite.
• 1:15:13
  If you were to invite anyone else,
• 1:15:15
  it's different.
• 1:15:16
  Like a European athlete or something else.
• 1:15:18
  But they wouldn't invite a European
• 1:15:21
  athlete because their European athletes
• 1:15:24
  will be getting in through...
• 1:15:28
  It still doesn't look good when you invite
• 1:15:30
  one of your own.
• 1:15:32
  to your, to your event,
• 1:15:33
  even though it doesn't, it's to me,
• 1:15:36
  to me, I'm allowed to say that,
• 1:15:38
  but I don't like that.
• 1:15:40
  There's programmers that program events
• 1:15:44
  that people follow their tracks.
• 1:15:46
  Like that's just my opinion.
• 1:15:48
  And I don't think that CrossFit's changing
• 1:15:51
  that anytime soon for semifinals.
• 1:15:55
  Um, I, this is what I've been saying,
• 1:15:57
  Eric, I think it needs to be merit-based.
• 1:15:59
  There should not be automatic invites to
• 1:16:02
  semifinals.
• 1:16:02
  What the season should start with the
• 1:16:05
  open.
• 1:16:06
  And then from that point forward,
• 1:16:08
  you qualify for the next steps.
• 1:16:10
  That is the only way to get from
• 1:16:12
  point a to the games.
• 1:16:18
  Yes.
• 1:16:18
  For all semifinals.
• 1:16:20
  Yes.
• 1:16:21
  CrossFit says merit doesn't make money.
• 1:16:23
  Well,
• 1:16:23
  we don't know because we've never had a
• 1:16:25
  consistent season to know if a consistent
• 1:16:28
  season would make money.
• 1:16:35
  No invitations to qualify.
• 1:16:37
  Yeah, I just don't think that, like,
• 1:16:38
  I think it's a new season.
• 1:16:40
  You allow the current athletes who are
• 1:16:43
  performing a chance to get their spots to
• 1:16:45
  semifinals and then to the games.
• 1:16:47
  What you did ten years ago,
• 1:16:50
  What you did last year to me doesn't
• 1:16:53
  matter.
• 1:16:54
  Right.
• 1:16:55
  Like people will accept because I mean,
• 1:16:58
  if you're given the opportunity,
• 1:16:59
  like why wouldn't you accept?
• 1:17:00
  Of course.
• 1:17:00
  But I just don't like the rules.
• 1:17:10
  Yeah, I agree with the law.
• 1:17:13
  It's not about the money.
• 1:17:14
  It's the official CrossFit game season.
• 1:17:16
  Exactly.
• 1:17:17
  uh andrewston i understand the argument
• 1:17:19
  though that early invites allow for
• 1:17:20
  planning by both the athletes and the
• 1:17:22
  events maybe the open needs to be earlier
• 1:17:24
  in the year to avoid this we made
• 1:17:26
  that argument weeks ago that the open
• 1:17:28
  needs to be closer to january first uh
• 1:17:31
  to allow for some more time for everything
• 1:17:33
  else um it's pretty true fact mayhem
• 1:17:39
  operates like sec football they're gonna
• 1:17:42
  love that they're gonna love that
• 1:17:45
  This one here.
• 1:17:46
  Did we dislike it when Rogue was a
• 1:17:48
  qualifier?
• 1:17:48
  Rogue was never a qualifier for the games.
• 1:17:51
  It was at one point in twenty twenty.
• 1:17:53
  I would have gone the spot,
• 1:17:54
  but then they dropped the name CrossFit
• 1:17:56
  and it was not a qualifier.
• 1:17:58
  It was in twenty nineteen,
• 1:18:00
  but that was a different animal
• 1:18:02
  altogether.
• 1:18:03
  That was the sanctional year where
• 1:18:06
  everybody was a qualifier.
• 1:18:08
  There was like thirty some qualifiers.
• 1:18:11
  Twenty nineteen was the year the champions
• 1:18:14
  of each country.
• 1:18:16
  And you had all the sanctionals around the
• 1:18:18
  world that everybody... And then, yeah,
• 1:18:21
  it was the mess.
• 1:18:22
  Talk about Wild West.
• 1:18:24
  I didn't think that was a qualifier.
• 1:18:25
  The year after it was a qualifier.
• 1:18:27
  I was at it.
• 1:18:28
  It was a qualifier.
• 1:18:32
  It was here in Columbus at the Rogue
• 1:18:34
  Factory.
• 1:18:35
  They built a park outside.
• 1:18:37
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:18:39
  Yes.
• 1:18:40
  And the teams did the tug of war.
• 1:18:42
  Correct.
• 1:18:44
  Or build the cart.
• 1:18:46
  Remember I had to build the cart and
• 1:18:49
  then pull it.
• 1:18:50
  Yeah.
• 1:18:56
  Uh, Anderson, I was a judge.
• 1:18:57
  It was a sanctional.
• 1:18:59
  So they had one year.
• 1:19:01
  Yeah, but that was a different animal.
• 1:19:04
  Yeah, and that was sanctionals everywhere,
• 1:19:07
  basically.
• 1:19:08
  There was like twenty of them, right?
• 1:19:09
  There was so many of them,
• 1:19:11
  and only the champion from each one got
• 1:19:13
  a bid to the games,
• 1:19:14
  unless they had qualified previously,
• 1:19:17
  and then it bebopped and bebopped down
• 1:19:19
  through the thing, and, oh,
• 1:19:20
  you took ninth place at Waterpalooza,
• 1:19:22
  you get to go to the games.
• 1:19:25
  It was so horrible to try to figure
• 1:19:27
  out.
• 1:19:29
  But in this current format,
• 1:19:31
  I just think we need more consistency in
• 1:19:35
  the way that athletes are going to the
• 1:19:36
  semifinals.
• 1:19:38
  Like it's crazy to me that people already
• 1:19:41
  have all of our semifinals signed up and
• 1:19:44
  the season hadn't even started for the
• 1:19:46
  open.
• 1:19:47
  All the qualifiers were before the open.
• 1:19:49
  And if you weren't on the ball or
• 1:19:50
  if you weren't in the best shape because
• 1:19:52
  you were still doing your off season,
• 1:19:53
  like you missed out on basically your best
• 1:19:57
  semifinal chance.
• 1:20:01
  i don't like that right yeah i just
• 1:20:05
  i don't like that i think that the
• 1:20:07
  open needs to be number one and then
• 1:20:10
  that's where the start of the season is
• 1:20:11
  and then you get your invites based on
• 1:20:13
  open quarterfinals whatever yep um we're
• 1:20:19
  almost out of time so xenom added more
• 1:20:22
  workouts
• 1:20:24
  I forgot to pull it up before this,
• 1:20:25
  but it is a, it's a crazy one.
• 1:20:29
  It's like a cardio fest.
• 1:20:32
  Let me see if I can get it
• 1:20:33
  quick.
• 1:20:35
  Is it looking more accessible CrossFit or
• 1:20:40
  is it no besides that one event for
• 1:20:43
  the ring muscle up?
• 1:20:44
  Is it pretty accessible?
• 1:20:46
  Um,
• 1:20:47
  maybe I don't like people to do a
• 1:20:49
  power snatch.
• 1:20:50
  I don't, honestly,
• 1:20:51
  I don't care if it's accessible.
• 1:20:53
  I think this is for that next level
• 1:20:55
  down of people that just want to have
• 1:20:57
  an experience like the CrossFit Games and
• 1:20:59
  go do a two-day competition with ten
• 1:21:01
  events and get a score and try to
• 1:21:05
  improve on it time after time.
• 1:21:07
  I think it's just like the marathon
• 1:21:09
  runners, uh,
• 1:21:10
  trying to go to Boston and New York
• 1:21:12
  and all of that kind of stuff.
• 1:21:14
  But regardless, uh,
• 1:21:16
  we have a bunch of events.
• 1:21:18
  We already talked about snatch.
• 1:21:21
  Uh, did we,
• 1:21:21
  we didn't talk about this one, uh,
• 1:21:24
  the wall, walk, rope, climb, wall, walk,
• 1:21:26
  rope, climb, wall, walk, rope, climb.
• 1:21:30
  What's it?
• 1:21:31
  It's an AMRAP.
• 1:21:34
  It is an AMRAP.
• 1:21:35
  So down here.
• 1:21:37
  Does it say how long?
• 1:21:38
  It doesn't have the time.
• 1:21:40
  No.
• 1:21:42
  Yet.
• 1:21:48
  No.
• 1:21:48
  So that's the elite.
• 1:21:50
  It's two wall walks to one rope climb,
• 1:21:51
  four wall walks to two,
• 1:21:53
  six wall walks to three.
• 1:21:55
  Oh,
• 1:21:55
  so it's just going to keep going for
• 1:21:57
  whatever, ten,
• 1:21:57
  twelve minutes and just keep going in that
• 1:21:59
  format.
• 1:21:59
  I like it.
• 1:22:00
  Cool.
• 1:22:00
  Yeah.
• 1:22:06
  And then event three,
• 1:22:10
  it was the Max Cal bike we talked
• 1:22:13
  about.
• 1:22:14
  And then five is the three K run
• 1:22:15
  to the two K echo ski.
• 1:22:19
  And then this one got announced just
• 1:22:23
  recently.
• 1:22:24
  Three rounds, fifteen toes to bar.
• 1:22:25
  No, that's the one that's been out.
• 1:22:26
  That's the sorry.
• 1:22:29
  Triplet workout event.
• 1:22:30
  Eight just got announced.
• 1:22:32
  This is the one.
• 1:22:33
  Thirty burpees over the line.
• 1:22:35
  Rogue Echo Ski for thirty to twenty four
• 1:22:37
  calories.
• 1:22:38
  Rogue Echo Bike thirty twenty four.
• 1:22:40
  Thirty burpees over the line.
• 1:22:43
  Rogue Echo Bike thirty.
• 1:22:44
  Rogue Echo Ski thirty.
• 1:22:46
  Amrap of burpees in the remaining time.
• 1:22:48
  Twelve minute Amrap.
• 1:22:51
  Fun.
• 1:22:52
  That one's accessible.
• 1:22:54
  So that's what we know so far.
• 1:23:00
  Still excited?
• 1:23:02
  Yeah, I think it's cool.
• 1:23:05
  Carolyn?
• 1:23:06
  Yeah, something new.
• 1:23:08
  I like the idea of having like ten
• 1:23:10
  standardized CrossFit-ish tests that
• 1:23:13
  people can test themselves all over the
• 1:23:14
  world in person,
• 1:23:16
  not at their home affiliate,
• 1:23:17
  but like in person on a weekend or
• 1:23:20
  ten events and perform versus like at
• 1:23:23
  different points in the year doing one of
• 1:23:24
  them.
• 1:23:25
  I think that's a good thing.
• 1:23:27
  I just don't know how popular it'll be.
• 1:23:33
  If it gets too difficult, I guess,
• 1:23:37
  in some of it.
• 1:23:39
  Because you still want to attract some
• 1:23:41
  people from the F-Forty-Fives to be like,
• 1:23:42
  you think you're fit?
• 1:23:43
  Try these ten.
• 1:23:45
  And then tell them to come to CrossFit
• 1:23:48
  to get better at it.
• 1:23:50
  So they do have the three levels.
• 1:23:52
  And I guess the elite level is very,
• 1:23:54
  very small.
• 1:23:57
  Like it's only going to be a handful
• 1:23:58
  of people in the elite.
• 1:24:00
  And then the RX is below that.
• 1:24:02
  And then the compete is where most of
• 1:24:06
  the people will be.
• 1:24:08
  And that is the lowest of the three
• 1:24:09
  levels.
• 1:24:10
  Is the compete level still a snatch?
• 1:24:15
  It's probably,
• 1:24:15
  I don't think it changes what it is.
• 1:24:20
  So the one rep max snatch,
• 1:24:25
  it's the same, same thing.
• 1:24:29
  But like the snatch total bar muscle up
• 1:24:33
  for the compete is toes to ring.
• 1:24:39
  Fifteen single R dumbbell hang snatch into
• 1:24:43
  ten toes to bar,
• 1:24:44
  ten chest to bar max bar muscle ups.
• 1:24:49
  Cool.
• 1:24:50
  So they do have those versions.
• 1:24:54
  Again,
• 1:24:54
  I listened to Peter's interview with the
• 1:25:00
  founder, and it was really, really good.
• 1:25:02
  I think Savant's having him on this week,
• 1:25:05
  so hopefully we'll learn more.
• 1:25:09
  But I think it's pretty cool.
• 1:25:10
  I think it's...
• 1:25:11
  What he said on Peter's was he wants
• 1:25:13
  to have something that CrossFitters can
• 1:25:16
  brag about again.
• 1:25:19
  Like, I did this,
• 1:25:21
  and I got this score...
• 1:25:27
  So Vicky asks,
• 1:25:28
  will either of the ladies be trying it
• 1:25:29
  out?
• 1:25:31
  I put my name to try to get
• 1:25:32
  like, oh,
• 1:25:33
  they said like two hundred and fifty
• 1:25:35
  people get a free sign up or something.
• 1:25:38
  I mean, I signed up for that.
• 1:25:40
  I don't know that I would pay the
• 1:25:42
  five hundred right now.
• 1:25:43
  I have too many comps coming up.
• 1:25:44
  So yeah, won't do the first one.
• 1:25:47
  I'd like to see what it looks like.
• 1:25:49
  And then maybe later.
• 1:25:52
  Eric Mackey says not enough prize purses
• 1:25:54
  to pull in more notable names.
• 1:25:55
  I don't think they're trying to pull in
• 1:25:57
  notable names.
• 1:25:58
  I think they're trying to pull in the
• 1:25:59
  community.
• 1:26:00
  They're trying to be the CrossFit version
• 1:26:02
  of a High Rocks or a Tough Mudder
• 1:26:05
  or one of those things where a group
• 1:26:08
  of people all show up and hang out
• 1:26:09
  for the weekend and do fun stuff together.
• 1:26:15
  Yeah, I'd have to see the other locations.
• 1:26:16
  I for sure wouldn't be going to Dallas.
• 1:26:18
  Yeah.
• 1:26:21
  I'm sure there's going to be a California
• 1:26:24
  and a New York.
• 1:26:26
  Maybe Chicago.
• 1:26:28
  I would consider that.
• 1:26:34
  Everybody's dogging on the name.
• 1:26:35
  I don't really care about the name.
• 1:26:36
  I like my name.
• 1:26:37
  If it becomes cool,
• 1:26:39
  the name will be fine.
• 1:26:40
  It's like Phenom.
• 1:26:42
  It's Phenom Ten Events.
• 1:26:43
  It's great.
• 1:26:47
  I think it'll get catchy.
• 1:26:49
  um judy reed says wasn't xenon some girl
• 1:26:54
  superhero xena was a girl she was a
• 1:26:58
  warrior yeah but she was it was not
• 1:27:01
  xenon xena lucy lawless right yes you got
• 1:27:08
  it oh i remember from i i like
• 1:27:11
  that show
• 1:27:16
  CrossFit says it's copy and paste regional
• 1:27:18
  fantasy camp.
• 1:27:19
  But I do think it's different.
• 1:27:21
  And it all depends on the vibes it
• 1:27:22
  gives when you're there.
• 1:27:24
  All of the talk and all of the
• 1:27:25
  paper is fine.
• 1:27:27
  You have to see it executed.
• 1:27:35
  I think the only way it stays like
• 1:27:39
  relevant,
• 1:27:39
  it has to be the same events every
• 1:27:41
  year.
• 1:27:43
  Like keep those,
• 1:27:44
  like whatever ten that they come up with,
• 1:27:46
  those are the ten that every year that's
• 1:27:48
  the test.
• 1:27:50
  And I love the scoring.
• 1:27:52
  The scoring is not dependent on anybody
• 1:27:54
  else.
• 1:27:55
  It is,
• 1:27:56
  they have a par score and either you
• 1:27:59
  go better than par or worse than par.
• 1:28:03
  And that's how you get your score.
• 1:28:08
  You didn't know that, Jamie?
• 1:28:09
  No.
• 1:28:09
  No.
• 1:28:10
  So it's not where you place,
• 1:28:12
  it's how you perform.
• 1:28:14
  So there's like a chart that will say,
• 1:28:17
  if you score in these areas,
• 1:28:18
  you get this many points.
• 1:28:20
  And they have set a standard score for
• 1:28:22
  every event.
• 1:28:24
  Oh, geez.
• 1:28:25
  What's the standard for the snatch?
• 1:28:27
  None of that is enough.
• 1:28:28
  Let's say it's three hundred and three
• 1:28:30
  fifteen and two, I don't know,
• 1:28:33
  two five or two fifteen.
• 1:28:35
  And you're either under it or you're
• 1:28:37
  hitting it.
• 1:28:38
  Oh, geez.
• 1:28:39
  But the same thing is you could do
• 1:28:42
  the burpee, I don't know, the burpee,
• 1:28:45
  bike, and whatever,
• 1:28:47
  and be better than the standard, right?
• 1:28:51
  It's all about trying to get your score
• 1:28:53
  around par or better than par,
• 1:28:58
  depending on what you're trying to
• 1:28:59
  achieve.
• 1:28:59
  Interesting.
• 1:29:04
  Xenom side effects include rapid
• 1:29:06
  heartbeat, fatigue, and muscle soreness.
• 1:29:09
  Please consult your doctor before using.
• 1:29:15
  Provided the baseline is based on good
• 1:29:17
  data.
• 1:29:20
  I'm telling you, whoever this founder is,
• 1:29:22
  he's a smart dude.
• 1:29:24
  Listen to him talk.
• 1:29:26
  We'll see.
• 1:29:27
  And what I do love is they are
• 1:29:28
  partnering with CrossFit.
• 1:29:29
  This is not something competing with
• 1:29:31
  CrossFit.
• 1:29:32
  They're doing it in conjunction with,
• 1:29:34
  and they talk about CrossFit the entire
• 1:29:36
  time.
• 1:29:43
  Uh, sneakily,
• 1:29:45
  it's like choosing where you go to take
• 1:29:46
  your SATs standardized fitness test.
• 1:29:49
  Just choose your city.
• 1:29:51
  That is a really, really good point.
• 1:29:56
  So there's that something else happened
• 1:29:59
  this week.
• 1:30:00
  I don't know if you guys heard,
• 1:30:01
  but the CEO decided to step down from
• 1:30:02
  CrossFit dawn fall.
• 1:30:04
  His last day was Friday.
• 1:30:06
  He is no longer the CEO.
• 1:30:09
  I have given my opinion on this on
• 1:30:10
  the lunch show.
• 1:30:12
  Just wanted to give you guys an
• 1:30:13
  opportunity to say anything here if you
• 1:30:15
  would like.
• 1:30:19
  Hope that everything's okay with him or
• 1:30:24
  family.
• 1:30:25
  Because to me, if it's this short notice,
• 1:30:32
  to me it screams like there's got to
• 1:30:33
  be some sort of family emergency or
• 1:30:35
  personal emergency of some sort.
• 1:30:38
  where it had to be urgent.
• 1:30:41
  So I hope everything's okay.
• 1:30:44
  All the interactions I've had with him
• 1:30:46
  were awesome.
• 1:30:48
  Super nice guy.
• 1:30:49
  So wish him the best moving forward.
• 1:30:53
  And curious what CrossFit will do in the
• 1:30:58
  next little while to try to fill that
• 1:31:02
  role.
• 1:31:03
  Just what the direction's going to be.
• 1:31:06
  It's very interesting timing.
• 1:31:08
  It does not seem like a,
• 1:31:12
  just a letting go position.
• 1:31:14
  It doesn't seem like the right time to
• 1:31:16
  do it.
• 1:31:16
  Unless they're just trying, I don't know,
• 1:31:18
  trying to get less attention right here in
• 1:31:20
  the middle of the open.
• 1:31:21
  But business-wise, I think it seems weird.
• 1:31:24
  It does seem like it's a personal family
• 1:31:26
  issue, which sucks if that's the case.
• 1:31:31
  But I also think they need to get
• 1:31:32
  someone else in there, so...
• 1:31:36
  be curious where they go uh theresa says
• 1:31:38
  she loves carolyn she doesn't care about
• 1:31:40
  you and i jamie but she loves carolyn
• 1:31:45
  um i said it this week if you
• 1:31:48
  want to see my full rant you can
• 1:31:49
  go there but it doesn't matter at this
• 1:31:51
  point as long as it's a private equity
• 1:31:53
  company and there's a board of directors
• 1:31:55
  the ceo doesn't matter yeah the board
• 1:31:57
  makes the decisions the ceo is the the
• 1:32:00
  face and he carries out the instructions
• 1:32:02
  from the board
• 1:32:03
  As long as we are under Berkshire and
• 1:32:06
  their board of directors, the same,
• 1:32:08
  it's not,
• 1:32:09
  it's going to be business as usual with
• 1:32:10
  a new face telling us what the news
• 1:32:12
  is.
• 1:32:14
  The only way it makes a difference is
• 1:32:17
  if the CEO they hire can be more
• 1:32:20
  convincing to the board to change things
• 1:32:23
  up.
• 1:32:24
  All we can do is present to them
• 1:32:25
  ideas and hope that they vote yes.
• 1:32:29
  And if he's a better presenter and more
• 1:32:35
  able to, yes, more persuasive,
• 1:32:37
  that's the only way this changes.
• 1:32:39
  Yeah.
• 1:32:41
  Or the board says the next CEO we're
• 1:32:43
  having, we're hiring is so good.
• 1:32:45
  We're giving them an autonomy and we're
• 1:32:47
  stepping back.
• 1:32:48
  But that will never happen.
• 1:32:49
  That will not happen.
• 1:32:50
  That's not happening.
• 1:32:52
  That's what needs to happen.
• 1:32:53
  You're not wrong, but no chance.
• 1:32:56
  So at this, like I'm over the CEO,
• 1:33:01
  whatever, because it doesn't matter.
• 1:33:03
  Yeah, I agree with you.
• 1:33:08
  Right.
• 1:33:10
  And so Patrick says that they will bring
• 1:33:13
  in a CEO that adds value to CrossFit
• 1:33:15
  so they can immediately sell.
• 1:33:18
  The problem is they're going to bring in
• 1:33:19
  somebody that they think can value the way
• 1:33:22
  they want value brought.
• 1:33:25
  And
• 1:33:26
  That hasn't worked for six years.
• 1:33:29
  They have screwed the pooch for six years,
• 1:33:31
  adding value to CrossFit.
• 1:33:34
  So unless they themselves, the board,
• 1:33:38
  have a change of heart,
• 1:33:40
  we're still going down the same path with
• 1:33:44
  the same board of directors,
• 1:33:46
  regardless of who they put as the
• 1:33:47
  front-facing piece to this.
• 1:33:52
  And...
• 1:33:53
  Until that sale happens and there's a new
• 1:33:57
  either board of directors at the helm or
• 1:33:59
  a single buyer that takes over,
• 1:34:02
  we are in the same cycle we have
• 1:34:06
  been in for six years.
• 1:34:08
  Yeah.
• 1:34:12
  So that's that.
• 1:34:16
  The last pencil pen or Sharpie was done.
• 1:34:18
  Stepping down is a good thing for
• 1:34:19
  CrossFit.
• 1:34:20
  You just heard my opinion.
• 1:34:22
  I don't think it matters.
• 1:34:23
  I don't think it even,
• 1:34:25
  I don't even need to get any kind
• 1:34:26
  of writing utensil out because it doesn't
• 1:34:28
  matter.
• 1:34:35
  And Fergie saying enough of these tech
• 1:34:37
  CEOs,
• 1:34:37
  bring in someone that knows how to run
• 1:34:39
  a health and fitness company.
• 1:34:41
  But even if they do that and the
• 1:34:43
  board of directors tells them what to do,
• 1:34:45
  what good does it do to bring in
• 1:34:47
  someone like that?
• 1:34:49
  That's what I was ranting about last week
• 1:34:51
  is you can bring in your Daniel Chaffee,
• 1:34:54
  your Matt Souzas, whoever you want to.
• 1:34:57
  None of it matters if the board of
• 1:34:59
  directors doesn't let them do what they
• 1:35:01
  think is right.
• 1:35:06
  So...
• 1:35:14
  CrossFit says we skipped my second good
• 1:35:16
  SEC.
• 1:35:17
  I'm sorry.
• 1:35:17
  There's so many comments, CrossFit.
• 1:35:19
  I didn't even see it.
• 1:35:19
  I missed it.
• 1:35:20
  I'm sorry.
• 1:35:23
  We're getting too popular on Sunday nights
• 1:35:25
  that I can't read all the comments.
• 1:35:33
  Okay.
• 1:35:40
  Thank you all for a great show tonight.
• 1:35:43
  Thank you in the comments.
• 1:35:44
  The last couple weeks, man,
• 1:35:46
  you have made it.
• 1:35:47
  We have been killing it the last couple
• 1:35:49
  Sunday nights,
• 1:35:50
  and we appreciate every single one of you.
• 1:35:58
  Oh, here it is.
• 1:35:59
  I'll pull it up, CrossFab.
• 1:36:01
  Lane Kiffin thanks LSU for his time and
• 1:36:04
  has announced his intent to become CEO of
• 1:36:07
  CrossFit.
• 1:36:11
  Yeah,
• 1:36:11
  I think Lane's been at LSU way longer
• 1:36:13
  than any other school.
• 1:36:14
  So before he makes a change.
