- 1:24and then we'll come back
- 1:25and revisit this Den of Thieves, too.
- 1:27Yeah.
- 1:28Because I really like Gerard Butler.
- 1:30Yep.
- 1:32I really like O'Shea Jackson.
- 1:33Yep.
- 1:36So let's go check this out.
- 1:37So my wife and I put on Den of Thieves.
- 1:42And, dude.
- 1:45Yeah.
- 1:46It was phenomenal.
- 1:49It's a good movie.
- 1:51Phenomenal.
- 1:53I enjoy it.
- 1:54I had not watched.
- 1:55So it's funny you mentioned
- 1:56that because Sunday morning,
- 2:00I'm trying to remember if
- 2:01it was Saturday or Sunday,
- 2:01but Sunday morning I was
- 2:02watching Dinner Thieves too.
- 2:05Don't pull that because
- 2:06that's on my watch list now
- 2:08for this week.
- 2:09Yeah, man.
- 2:10Because I got to find out what happens.
- 2:12But like it actually
- 2:15inspired my top five
- 2:16Tuesday for next week.
- 2:17Oh, okay.
- 2:19Movies that got you.
- 2:22Yeah, man.
- 2:23right?
- 2:24Like you're like, Oh, you're like,
- 2:30you know, like, like, like, yeah,
- 2:32you know,
- 2:34I'm not going to get my number one,
- 2:35but like, cause,
- 2:37cause I'm a pretty observant dude.
- 2:39Yeah.
- 2:40Like, and like six cents didn't get me.
- 2:45I saw like,
- 2:47I saw like Bruce Willis with no shadow.
- 2:49And I was like, Hmm,
- 2:54I was wrapped up in that one
- 2:56and when it happened I was
- 2:57like oh holy shit when you
- 2:58get me like I am blown away
- 3:03so I think next week I'm
- 3:05going to do movies that get
- 3:06you and man that was that
- 3:10was so damn good I like
- 3:14that one a lot I haven't
- 3:16seen it in a while but when
- 3:18I saw I saw they were doing a second one
- 3:20I was like, oh, okay.
- 3:21Because I liked everybody that was in it,
- 3:23from Gerard Butler and Young Ice Cube,
- 3:28whatever you want to call him.
- 3:30Ice Chip.
- 3:33Who looks exactly like his daddy,
- 3:34by the way.
- 3:35He does.
- 3:36It's kind of scary.
- 3:37But anyway, all the way down to, oh,
- 3:41what is his name?
- 3:45I can't think of it offhand,
- 3:46but that's a shame because
- 3:48I like everything that he's done.
- 3:50um but the whole thing was
- 3:52is well crafted well acted
- 3:54like the it keeps it keeps
- 3:55moving yeah dude good stuff
- 3:57and then I started watching
- 3:58the second one cast that
- 3:59line and I and I nibbled on
- 4:01it and I got hooked and
- 4:03just reeled in and then bam
- 4:07at the end good stuff
- 4:11brother good stuff yeah and
- 4:14In case anybody hasn't seen it yet.
- 4:17It's seven years old at this point,
- 4:19but it's well worth watching.
- 4:22It is.
- 4:23I watched it on Peacock.
- 4:24It's streaming on Peacock right now.
- 4:28We watched it for free last night.
- 4:30That is something that I
- 4:32wish that the streaming
- 4:34services would do.
- 4:35When a sequel comes out,
- 4:37put out the original with it.
- 4:40I think they try to,
- 4:42but it looks like I'm sure
- 4:43there's some licenses where they did.
- 4:47Yeah.
- 4:47I'm sure there's some
- 4:47license and stuff that gets
- 4:48involved in that, but like,
- 4:49it would seem to me like it
- 4:50would be kind of a no brainer.
- 4:52Like, you know, that one in particular,
- 4:55like, Oh,
- 4:56didn't leave Sue's hitting right
- 4:57now while you're at it,
- 5:00watch the first one, you know,
- 5:02keep you on our platform a
- 5:03little bit longer and whatnot.
- 5:04I'm sure it's got to help for their,
- 5:06for their algorithm.
- 5:07Like, yeah.
- 5:09Like HBO Max does a great
- 5:10job of that where they like.
- 5:12Yes, they will play.
- 5:13They got all the whole
- 5:15series of movies in one package.
- 5:17Like here they all are.
- 5:19You want to start the beginning to end go.
- 5:22Right.
- 5:23They're like every Superman.
- 5:25Yeah.
- 5:26They have like every Superman,
- 5:27even adjacent movie on there.
- 5:30I'm a big superman fan on
- 5:33max you get everything from
- 5:35christopher reeve to
- 5:36brandon ralph to the
- 5:38various series henry cavill
- 5:42to henry to I mean name
- 5:45name somebody they're all
- 5:46on there it's fantastic yeah
- 5:49Yeah, but anyway,
- 5:50I just wanted to bring that
- 5:51up because I was really
- 5:53surprised by that.
- 5:54And then right after that,
- 5:58I put on my phone and I said,
- 6:00I'm going to look at the WFP leaderboard.
- 6:05And then I was surprised again.
- 6:09At?
- 6:10Do you know what I'm surprised at?
- 6:15Number twenty-nine?
- 6:16Number twenty-nine.
- 6:20Dude, she's so fit.
- 6:22Jesus Christ.
- 6:24There she is.
- 6:25Our very own Jamie Latimer
- 6:28above the cut line to
- 6:31compete in the Challenger
- 6:33Series at the WFP in
- 6:36Indianapolis Tour Stop One.
- 6:38So not only that impressive,
- 6:40scroll down a little bit
- 6:41and let's see who she's in front of.
- 6:43Jessica Androsik, right there.
- 6:46Sydney Smith.
- 6:47Yeah.
- 6:48Hannah Black.
- 6:49Hannah Black.
- 6:49That's the other one I was looking for.
- 6:52Bernadine.
- 6:53Dude.
- 6:55Allie Zerke.
- 6:57Allie Zerke.
- 6:58Madison McElhaney.
- 7:00All like semifinal level athletes.
- 7:02Correct.
- 7:03And our forty one year old
- 7:07friend member of this media team.
- 7:11Twenty ninth.
- 7:13She's so fit, dude.
- 7:14It's unreal.
- 7:16It's unreal.
- 7:17And if I would tell her
- 7:18congratulations for being twenty-nine,
- 7:20she would come back with, well,
- 7:21I could have did this on
- 7:22this one and I probably
- 7:23should have did this for
- 7:24that one and whatnot.
- 7:25You know how she is.
- 7:27So shockingly,
- 7:29I sent a message to the
- 7:32group chat with Carolyn and them and said,
- 7:35our girl finished twenty
- 7:37ninth top thirty.
- 7:38She qualified for WFP.
- 7:40Now there is video review
- 7:42still to be done.
- 7:42Right.
- 7:43So we need to do that.
- 7:45But Jamie hardly ever gets
- 7:47penalized in a video review.
- 7:48So knock on wood.
- 7:52So she actually came back
- 7:55like she was shocked.
- 7:58I'm impressed.
- 7:58Normally, she would be like, well,
- 8:00I wish I could have done blah, blah, blah,
- 8:02blah.
- 8:02Yes.
- 8:02She was shocked.
- 8:05And so she is considering doing it.
- 8:10She has not made a final decision on it,
- 8:13but she is considering it.
- 8:15Because it's not a far drive
- 8:17from Michigan to Indianapolis.
- 8:18Right.
- 8:19I mean...
- 8:24So, yeah, for the experience,
- 8:26if nothing else.
- 8:28Right.
- 8:29Like it's within driving distance,
- 8:33you know, a hotel stay or two.
- 8:35I mean, dude, I would if I were her.
- 8:39just to get more experience
- 8:40on the floor amongst, you know,
- 8:42Cara million and Sydney.
- 8:44See where you stand against some of these,
- 8:46like Shelby, Neil, Abby Domi, Sanders,
- 8:50Sydney, McElishan, Kyra Milligan.
- 8:52See how you stand against
- 8:53them in certain workouts.
- 8:55Yeah.
- 8:55Emily Roy, Taylor, how these are like,
- 9:00yeah, you know, games athletes.
- 9:04She could see how she stands.
- 9:08So,
- 9:09I'll let her make an
- 9:10announcement if she's going
- 9:11to go ahead and do it.
- 9:12But I,
- 9:12I know right now she is considering
- 9:14it because of the,
- 9:16the proximity that it's
- 9:18actually a pretty easy drive for her.
- 9:22So that's pretty cool.
- 9:25And Andrea Solberg won the whole thing.
- 9:28Ella Wilkinson was second.
- 9:30Alnika Greer, third.
- 9:31Fee took fourth.
- 9:32Lexi Neely, Lydia Fish, Linda Keisman,
- 9:35Emily Rethwell, Trista Smith,
- 9:37and Jamie Simmons would be,
- 9:39if videos are approved,
- 9:41would be your ten that go
- 9:42on to fight for in the pro
- 9:45division to try to get a pro card.
- 9:48Jamie Simmons still doing it.
- 9:51I feel like she's been around forever,
- 9:53man.
- 9:54Now, Will said, because of video review,
- 9:58if you're in this, like,
- 9:59three to five range, you better be ready.
- 10:05Right?
- 10:06In this, like, eleven to fifteen.
- 10:07Yeah.
- 10:09So...
- 10:11I did contact the media team
- 10:14at World Fitness Project and ask,
- 10:17what is the timeline for
- 10:18the video review?
- 10:20And they said they'll check
- 10:21on that for me.
- 10:22I got a response back.
- 10:24Now it's just finding out
- 10:28from them what that is.
- 10:30Good on them for actually
- 10:34responding to you at this point.
- 10:37Yeah.
- 10:39So I know on the men's side,
- 10:44Nate Ackerman over Colton Mertens.
- 10:48Mild upset there.
- 10:51Young kid out of Mayhem, right?
- 10:55Mayhem kid.
- 10:55Yes, sir.
- 10:56One of Dom's kids.
- 10:59Enola Kai, third.
- 11:00Tolomore Acanio in fourth.
- 11:02Tanner Balazs in fifth.
- 11:04Danny Camacho, sixth.
- 11:05Nick Matthew, seventh.
- 11:07Tudor Magda, eighth.
- 11:08Colin Bossart, ninth.
- 11:09And Fabian Benito Celis in tenth.
- 11:13People just missing out.
- 11:15Chris Ibarra, Jorge Fernandez,
- 11:19Callum Clements,
- 11:20Jack Farlow in sixteenth.
- 11:22And these would all be able
- 11:23to compete in the...
- 11:26Challenger division down here.
- 11:29Riley good.
- 11:31That dude's super fit.
- 11:32Jack Rose.
- 11:32So, yeah.
- 11:38So fun stuff there.
- 11:39So that, that finalized last night.
- 11:42Now we're just waiting for
- 11:43video review for official results.
- 11:48Oh, Stan.
- 11:49Good for them.
- 11:51Good for them.
- 11:51Good for Jamie, dude.
- 11:52Like,
- 11:53I know how hard she works.
- 11:54I know what it takes.
- 11:57No, Kenneth, Colton was not at the top.
- 12:01You just missed it.
- 12:02He is in second behind Nate Ackerman.
- 12:06But he only needed was top ten.
- 12:09Yeah, no, he's fine.
- 12:12Yeah, he's fine.
- 12:13And he's going to get a bad person, dude,
- 12:15and he's going to demolish
- 12:18pretty much that entire crew.
- 12:20I mean, looking at that top ten.
- 12:21Yeah.
- 12:23It's not going to be pretty.
- 12:27Aaron Frazier, Jack Farlow,
- 12:29focusing on World Fitness Project.
- 12:32Or as some people are calling it, WTF.
- 12:34Hey, everybody's got to make decisions.
- 12:40No, I did hear a story where...
- 12:44He is in a pretty intense,
- 12:47and I think it was on Boys Interrupted,
- 12:49Dallin Pepper was telling
- 12:50the story that Barlow is in
- 12:53a very high-level college
- 12:55curriculum where he has to
- 12:57do what we call an internship every day.
- 13:02And so it is taking away a
- 13:04lot of his training ability.
- 13:06I mean, you got to make decisions.
- 13:07He's still super young, too.
- 13:08Yeah.
- 13:10If he doesn't make it this year,
- 13:11it's not the end of the world.
- 13:13It's really, really not.
- 13:15And I,
- 13:15I've had him on the show a couple of
- 13:16times and I,
- 13:17and I want to say he's
- 13:17studying something like
- 13:19very high level science-y or engineering.
- 13:23One of the two.
- 13:25Either way, they go hand in hand.
- 13:27Yeah.
- 13:28So, so yeah.
- 13:31Um,
- 13:32so world fitness project stuff is out
- 13:34there.
- 13:34Uh,
- 13:36hopefully we'll see Jamie competing in
- 13:38a couple of weeks in Indianapolis.
- 13:40That'd be fun.
- 13:41I hope she's making up her
- 13:42mind right now over a cocktail in Mexico.
- 13:45Yeah, that would be fun.
- 13:49Um,
- 13:51Aaron says engineering like tutor.
- 13:52Yeah.
- 13:54And I know tutor is like,
- 13:55even he's adjusting his
- 13:57curriculum to be heavier in
- 13:59the off season of CrossFit
- 14:01and lighter in the on
- 14:02season for CrossFit.
- 14:04But I don't think Jack has
- 14:06the same ability to do that.
- 14:08I was about to say, I mean,
- 14:10that's going to depend on
- 14:11what you are actually
- 14:12capable of doing as opposed to,
- 14:14or what you're not capable of doing,
- 14:16but yeah,
- 14:17what you're allowed to do as
- 14:19far as that kind of stuff is concerned,
- 14:20like move classes here, there, and yonder,
- 14:22whatever the case may be.
- 14:22I mean,
- 14:23if you only got so much freedom to
- 14:25do that kind of stuff,
- 14:25you only got so much
- 14:26freedom to do that kind of stuff.
- 14:27It's not like you can just out on a whim,
- 14:30just go, well,
- 14:31I'm not doing this class this semester.
- 14:32Well, that's the only time it's actually,
- 14:36oh yeah, SoCal.
- 14:37Yeah, Waterpalooza, SoCal.
- 14:39Just wanted to give you guys the dates.
- 14:40Going to be back at Huntington Beach,
- 14:42California, September, September,
- 14:43September, September, September,
- 14:45September, September, September,
- 14:47September, September, September,
- 14:50September, September,
- 15:06Looked good.
- 15:06Looked well-programmed.
- 15:07Looked like everybody had a good time,
- 15:09excuse me, out there.
- 15:13I would have expected,
- 15:14just because of where it's at,
- 15:15that it would have been a
- 15:16little bit more sunshiny,
- 15:18but I don't know how that works.
- 15:24Yeah.
- 15:26These are super quick hitter.
- 15:28Emma Lawson announced she's
- 15:29going to Brute.
- 15:32Apparently by chat GPT,
- 15:33just decided for her.
- 15:35Yeah,
- 15:36Dallin spilled the beans that she's
- 15:37actually been at Brute for a little bit.
- 15:39That makes sense.
- 15:40Hanging out with them and
- 15:41seeing if she likes it.
- 15:42She's actually training with
- 15:43Matt specifically.
- 15:46So there's that.
- 15:48Justin Medeiros, if you did not see,
- 15:49boys interrupted, is all pink.
- 15:53Pink eyebrow, pink mustache, pink beard,
- 15:56and pink hair.
- 15:58I do like the fact that he went all in,
- 16:00all in, and not just the hair.
- 16:01Like, we did the mustache, the beard,
- 16:03the eyebrow, like...
- 16:05If there's hair on his face, it is pink.
- 16:08And honestly,
- 16:09and I'm not usually a big fan
- 16:10of multicolored hair,
- 16:11it doesn't look terrible on
- 16:12him from the back.
- 16:13When you turn around and see
- 16:14his face with the mustache
- 16:15and the beard and whatnot, you're like,
- 16:17okay, yeah, he looks like he belongs on a,
- 16:19you know.
- 16:22He looks like a villain in Mario Brothers.
- 16:28take that I'll take that I
- 16:30was going to say like an
- 16:31extra on uh on wicked or
- 16:33something like that but
- 16:34yeah that that probably
- 16:35would work as well yeah jay
- 16:38birch went with the oompa
- 16:39loompa that's more of an
- 16:41orange tone so I kind of
- 16:44let's go with modern the
- 16:45lollipop guild sure I could
- 16:47see that um but I could see
- 16:49him being like someone in
- 16:52the mario brothers world
- 16:53that is throwing fireballs
- 16:55at you at the end of a level
- 16:57Sweet baby Jesus.
- 17:02Like we talked about though,
- 17:05they're all in.
- 17:07All of them.
- 17:10For the sports side,
- 17:11that is fantastic for the sport.
- 17:13Because he's just on the
- 17:15podcast now with the hair
- 17:16and he's just talking like
- 17:17he doesn't have pink hair.
- 17:20You know what I mean?
- 17:20He's just like, yep,
- 17:21this is what's happening right now.
- 17:23He's actually talking like
- 17:24it's giving him a superpower.
- 17:26Yeah.
- 17:27Like he's going super sad.
- 17:29He's had nothing but good
- 17:30workouts since he's got the pink hair.
- 17:31Hey, whatever helps you believe, man.
- 17:37Hey, bro.
- 17:38Whatever.
- 17:38It's all, it's eighty percent mental.
- 17:40You understand?
- 17:43Last thing I wanted to ask
- 17:44you about Den of Thieves,
- 17:45and I meant to do this beforehand.
- 17:47Yes.
- 17:48One of the cops, and I don't know,
- 17:50is he's not, he's like kind of a,
- 17:51like a lesser character in the movie.
- 17:54Looks just like Dex Hopkins.
- 17:58Oh,
- 17:58I know exactly who you're talking about.
- 18:01Yeah, he does.
- 18:06Every time I see someone scream, I'm like,
- 18:07hey, Dex.
- 18:08Dex is a cop in LA.
- 18:09But anyway, so there's that.
- 18:20The other thing I wanted to ask you,
- 18:24and I was watching the Rich
- 18:26Froning podcast yesterday.
- 18:29And they were all over the map, but they,
- 18:31at one point they were
- 18:33talking about how WFP is
- 18:36doing affiliates.
- 18:37Now high rocks is doing affiliates.
- 18:40Now maybe we should do affiliates as well.
- 18:46Just mayhem affiliates.
- 18:47We won't even charge people for it.
- 18:49Just if you're doing mayhem programming,
- 18:51you get an affiliate and
- 18:53you get an affiliate, right?
- 18:54Everybody gets an affiliate.
- 18:57Reach under your chair, Scott.
- 18:59Right now,
- 19:00there's a Mayhem affiliate right there.
- 19:02So my question to you was, actually,
- 19:05of all the entities in our space,
- 19:08they are probably the most
- 19:10equipped to start an affiliation.
- 19:13Easily.
- 19:15Because what would you get
- 19:16their programming?
- 19:18They already have a full apparel line.
- 19:21You can buy your t-shirts
- 19:23already out on the site.
- 19:25Get your Mayhem t-shirts,
- 19:26your Mayhem shorts, your Mayhem cups,
- 19:29your Mayhem stickers.
- 19:30All the things.
- 19:32All the things.
- 19:33All the things.
- 19:34So do you see, so let me,
- 19:36if Mayhem said tomorrow,
- 19:39we're going to do an
- 19:40affiliation and we will support you.
- 19:46how many people do you think
- 19:47would say yes I'm going to
- 19:49go with that instead of
- 19:51like the high rocks instead
- 19:53of the wfp I don't know I
- 19:57think it's a different
- 19:58thing um because the people
- 20:01are signing on to say that
- 20:02they're a high rocks
- 20:03affiliate even though they're still doing
- 20:05you know crossfit training
- 20:06because you can use
- 20:07crossfit before you go on
- 20:09let me see rich was being
- 20:11facetious oh yeah
- 20:12absolutely not going to
- 20:13happen this is not going to
- 20:15happen in reality yeah this
- 20:17is just me playing make
- 20:18believe if they did it they
- 20:21have a lot of diehard fans
- 20:23how many people do you
- 20:24think would dive into that
- 20:26well I would say that they
- 20:27already they kind of already do
- 20:31I've been to mayhem
- 20:32affiliates one of my
- 20:33buddies owns an affiliate
- 20:34that is mayhem and like the
- 20:36support that you get from
- 20:37them is unreal from what
- 20:38I've seen like you got a
- 20:41problem somebody gets on it
- 20:42right now they have weekly
- 20:44calls with uh lockhart and
- 20:48whoever else like to
- 20:49address things that are
- 20:50going on inside their
- 20:51affiliate and whatnot like
- 20:53I kind of I kind of feel
- 20:54like they already have that
- 20:55if you're doing a mayhem
- 20:57affiliate program and
- 20:58you're already a mayhem affiliate
- 21:00And all you're doing is
- 21:01paying for the program and
- 21:02then you get all of this extra stuff,
- 21:03access to the store,
- 21:04to the buy whatever you
- 21:06want to buy type shit.
- 21:07Like, yeah.
- 21:10Like what Andrew just said,
- 21:11all the games that pay for
- 21:12their program would probably just say,
- 21:13yep,
- 21:14we're just going to make him
- 21:14affiliate and just move on from there.
- 21:16And I think it would be,
- 21:22I think it would be more
- 21:22successful than what the
- 21:24WFP is trying to do.
- 21:25Oh God.
- 21:26Yeah.
- 21:28But
- 21:30um but with that like rich
- 21:35is so such a believer in
- 21:37the in the crossfit
- 21:38methodology he would never
- 21:39be the guy to pull that
- 21:41trigger no right unless
- 21:43something happened to
- 21:44crossfit god forbid it had
- 21:46to be pretty catastrophic
- 21:48right it had to be pretty catastrophic
- 21:51And I think at that point, then yeah,
- 21:52he would kind of swoop in
- 21:54and I don't want to say save the day,
- 21:55but I feel like he would
- 21:57feel almost like it was his
- 21:58responsibility to do
- 21:59something to guard the
- 22:02methodology at that point.
- 22:04Now, what that would look like,
- 22:05I don't know.
- 22:09Nobody else has the media team?
- 22:12And their media team is top notch.
- 22:15Yeah.
- 22:16Now,
- 22:17if they were like something nationwide,
- 22:18they'd probably need to
- 22:19expand that a little bit.
- 22:22uh to do some more but well
- 22:23yeah because it's all done
- 22:25in the extra room at the
- 22:26barn and the barn doesn't
- 22:29have a roof anymore and the
- 22:30boy doesn't have a roof on
- 22:31it so yeah that is
- 22:37absolutely fantastic yeah
- 22:44so um it was just a
- 22:46question I had it because I
- 22:47thought it would be
- 22:49I thought it would be pretty
- 22:50popular if they actually did it,
- 22:51but they were very,
- 22:52very facetious about it.
- 22:56Um, and just kind of making fun of that.
- 22:58There's met fix.
- 22:58There's high rocks.
- 22:59There's WFP.
- 23:00There's now CrossFit and
- 23:02it's just a mess and it's
- 23:04chaos and they actually
- 23:05don't like what's happening.
- 23:06And they, I don't either.
- 23:10I don't think any,
- 23:11I don't think too many
- 23:11people would do just
- 23:12because there's so many things.
- 23:16so anytime if you go on you
- 23:18know you go on instagram
- 23:19you go on facebook whatever
- 23:20is information overload as
- 23:22it is right overstimulated
- 23:25over whatever and then more
- 23:28people keep throwing stuff
- 23:29at it and more people keep
- 23:30throwing stuff at it and
- 23:31more people keep throwing
- 23:32stuff at it and oh crossfit
- 23:34or high rocks and then oh
- 23:35wait and greg's doing
- 23:36medfix what is medfix I
- 23:37gotta go look at that and
- 23:39oh people are you know
- 23:40crossfit's for sale again
- 23:41oh my god and the sky is falling
- 23:44it's too much.
- 23:46Like, you know,
- 23:48I know a lot of us that are, you know,
- 23:51I don't necessarily old school,
- 23:53but I am old enough to know
- 23:55my history and whatnot.
- 23:56I would much rather have it
- 23:57be back to like it was then
- 23:59to like it is now with all
- 24:02of the things that are happening at once.
- 24:04It's just too much,
- 24:05just too much to keep track of.
- 24:08It's just too much.
- 24:12Yeah.
- 24:12I, um,
- 24:18I hope that with the sale,
- 24:20we can get some consistency.
- 24:22The right people buy it that understand.
- 24:26Somebody was talking about
- 24:27this this morning.
- 24:28I forget where I heard it at,
- 24:29but they understand that
- 24:31it's promoted again as a movement,
- 24:35not as a sport, not as a whatever.
- 24:39The sports part of it.
- 24:40I understand that there's
- 24:41always going to be
- 24:41competitions no matter what.
- 24:42I mean, I'm probably an example of that.
- 24:45I signed up for all kinds of competitions.
- 24:48Atlanta right there.
- 24:51Yeah,
- 24:51we're going to talk about that in a
- 24:52second.
- 24:53Yeah.
- 24:54There's always going to be a sport,
- 24:55but understanding that by and large,
- 24:59it helps people live a
- 25:00better quality of life in
- 25:04everything that they do.
- 25:06It saves lives.
- 25:08So here's my thing about the
- 25:10people who say we need to
- 25:12worry about the movement
- 25:13more than the sport.
- 25:15I understand what they're saying.
- 25:17but the reason it stuck for
- 25:19me is I was once a kid who
- 25:21played four sports.
- 25:23Yeah.
- 25:24Right.
- 25:25And when I found CrossFit,
- 25:26it was the first time I
- 25:28felt like I was playing a game again,
- 25:31but I was getting fit while doing it.
- 25:33Right.
- 25:34Yeah.
- 25:35So I,
- 25:36I don't want to like completely walk
- 25:38away from it as being a
- 25:40sport because that's part
- 25:42of the beauty of it.
- 25:43Right.
- 25:43No, absolutely not.
- 25:45But should we be doing
- 25:46seventy percent media on
- 25:47the games athletes and
- 25:51thirty percent on the
- 25:52affiliates and the everyday heroes?
- 25:55Right.
- 25:56That's probably not the
- 25:58right proportion to do it in.
- 25:59No, not at all.
- 26:02So I think I think the media
- 26:05for the sports side of it,
- 26:07if you back off,
- 26:09will take care of itself.
- 26:11because the Clydesdale medias of the world,
- 26:13the savans, the coffee pods and wads,
- 26:16those guys will take care
- 26:17of that side and promote it.
- 26:19The buttery bros, the whoever else, right?
- 26:23Like CrossFit, take care of CrossFit,
- 26:25still have the sport and
- 26:27let the media part for the sport,
- 26:30Mostly take care of it.
- 26:31I'm not saying abandon it
- 26:32completely by any stretch of imagination,
- 26:34but I think that there's
- 26:36enough people in the space
- 26:37that cover the sport to
- 26:39where you don't have to
- 26:40promote it quite so hard
- 26:41and you can get back to
- 26:42what we actually started
- 26:43this whole thing for.
- 26:49Andrew said,
- 26:49Greg didn't start CrossFit to make money.
- 26:51Remember,
- 26:52he was surprised people wanted to
- 26:53open affiliates.
- 26:54His goal was to get people
- 26:55healthier and stop chronic disease.
- 26:57Right now,
- 26:58the owners just want to make money.
- 27:00I do not disagree with this
- 27:01statement at all.
- 27:03I think if it's another
- 27:04private equity company buying CrossFit,
- 27:06we're screwed.
- 27:07Absolutely.
- 27:08It has to be someone here's
- 27:09for long-term and are
- 27:12willing to fix some things
- 27:14and are willing.
- 27:15It's okay to want to make money.
- 27:17It's okay.
- 27:18It's a business,
- 27:19but it's going to take time to do it.
- 27:20Right.
- 27:21Right.
- 27:22There are no quick fixes with this thing.
- 27:25So it is a business.
- 27:29Well, on a lighter note,
- 27:31you were telling me that
- 27:34you got to meet someone today,
- 27:36and it's right here.
- 27:39Corey,
- 27:39this is from our friend Lana Marcin.
- 27:42Corey,
- 27:42thanks for taking care of my friend
- 27:43Robin this morning.
- 27:44She loved it.
- 27:45I don't know if she loved it.
- 27:47Lana is probably not the
- 27:48word I would describe her.
- 27:51So what happened with Sweet
- 27:53Robin this morning?
- 27:55First of all, she was awesome, Lana.
- 27:57She really, really was.
- 27:58She showed up at five a.m.
- 28:00My normal five a.m.
- 28:01Wednesday class has anywhere
- 28:03from five to nine,
- 28:04sometimes twelve people in it.
- 28:07Right.
- 28:07I usually fairly busy class
- 28:08every once in a while that
- 28:10kind of thins out.
- 28:12And this morning happened to be thin,
- 28:14so it was just me and her at five a.m.,
- 28:16which is fine.
- 28:17No big deal.
- 28:17I was like, hey, cool.
- 28:18You get a personal training session.
- 28:19Let's go.
- 28:21Workout was,
- 28:22we had a strength piece with
- 28:25three sets of two heavy deadlifts.
- 28:27She didn't go super heavy, warmed up good.
- 28:29She moves really, really well.
- 28:32And then it was a ten-minute
- 28:34EMOM of three power cleans,
- 28:39three front squats, three push jerks,
- 28:41and then max lateral
- 28:43burpees over the barbell in
- 28:44remaining time.
- 28:46Now, yeah, yeah.
- 28:48See that look you just got right there?
- 28:50That last part
- 28:51It's kind of important, okay?
- 28:53One, thirty-five, ninety-five.
- 28:55So it's macho man,
- 28:59basically around a macho man,
- 29:01and then max lateral
- 29:03burpees over the barbell.
- 29:04So you still have enough time,
- 29:05have to have enough time to get up,
- 29:08gather yourself before you
- 29:09have to start back on the
- 29:12rounds of macho man.
- 29:13So I don't know this girl.
- 29:15Never met her before.
- 29:16She looks pretty fit.
- 29:18Talking to her about it,
- 29:19giving her the stimulus, blah, blah,
- 29:20blah.
- 29:21I said, so just kind of be mindful,
- 29:26you know,
- 29:27choose wisely before we load
- 29:28this barbell up because, first of all,
- 29:31it's ten minutes.
- 29:33You got nine reps to do and
- 29:35then as many burpees as you
- 29:36can and give yourself about
- 29:37ten seconds to kind of
- 29:38gather yourself before you
- 29:39start all over.
- 29:39So, like,
- 29:41you need to choose wisely because
- 29:45it doesn't seem like long,
- 29:46but on the back half,
- 29:47like pretty much as soon as
- 29:48you get past halfway,
- 29:49it's going to get real, real fast.
- 29:52And she came out hot with
- 29:55nine five sweet baby.
- 29:58She got six burpees in the first round,
- 30:00five burpees in the second round.
- 30:02And by the third round, she was like,
- 30:03I've made a horrible mistake.
- 30:08She was before we started, she said,
- 30:12I'm gonna go ahead and
- 30:13apologize to you before we
- 30:15start about anything that I
- 30:17say during this work.
- 30:18And I said,
- 30:20I said, you can't offend me.
- 30:24Don't worry about that.
- 30:25She said, it's not that.
- 30:26You're going to hear me say stuff.
- 30:29Yeah, chick, like Lana, she come out hot.
- 30:33So by the third round, she had to stop,
- 30:36pull the fives off of her
- 30:38barbell because she had
- 30:38loaded up with ninety-five.
- 30:40So at least get ten pounds off of it.
- 30:43And she's apologizing to me
- 30:44the entire time.
- 30:45So much so by like minute six, she's like,
- 30:48I'm sorry.
- 30:49And I said, stop apologizing to me.
- 30:53And she said, I can't help it.
- 30:55I'm Canadian.
- 31:00But she wanted to quit.
- 31:04by about minute seven she
- 31:06was like she was like I'm
- 31:07done and I said no but you
- 31:09come this far like we're
- 31:10not quitting get something
- 31:12out of it right even if you
- 31:13only get a couple burpees
- 31:14around whatever so she
- 31:17finished the entire thing
- 31:18and then she laid on the
- 31:20floor contemplating her
- 31:21life choices up to that
- 31:22point but she was awesome
- 31:25dude uh so the funny part
- 31:28though is just how small
- 31:29the community is right because
- 31:32Yeah,
- 31:32because she comes to you and you guys
- 31:34are having a discussion
- 31:35about the new judging
- 31:36requirements for semifinals.
- 31:38Yeah.
- 31:39And she's saying that, uh,
- 31:42the people at her box and she said,
- 31:45we put up,
- 31:46it's this lady there and her name's Lana.
- 31:48And I went, Hmm.
- 31:51Now I knew she was from
- 31:52Canada and she said, and she's seven,
- 31:54six years old.
- 31:55And I said, is her last name?
- 31:57And she went, how do you know that?
- 31:59And I said, I've met her before.
- 32:03Everybody knows Lana.
- 32:04Yeah.
- 32:06She was great though.
- 32:07She's probably coming back tomorrow.
- 32:10Already worn the, uh,
- 32:12five AM coach tomorrow morning.
- 32:13And I was like, Hey man,
- 32:15I go come in tomorrow.
- 32:16She moves really well.
- 32:17Might want to help her out
- 32:18with some scaling options.
- 32:19Cause I don't know how she's
- 32:21going to feel about it when
- 32:21she gets there tomorrow.
- 32:24I want to know why the hell
- 32:26anybody would call that workout an EMOM.
- 32:29Because you don't get any rest.
- 32:31Usually in EMOM, you do something,
- 32:33you get a little bit of
- 32:34rest going into the next minute.
- 32:37Max, the end of each minute is no rest.
- 32:40It is just one straight workout.
- 32:44Yeah, make me vomit.
- 32:47It was something.
- 32:48Like I said, I only got to watch...
- 32:50I had her by herself at five a.m.
- 32:52and I had two of my regulars at six a.m.
- 32:56So I only got to see three
- 32:56people do it today.
- 32:59But it's real, bro.
- 33:01It's real.
- 33:02I call it barbell cardio
- 33:03because that's really all it is.
- 33:06Like you got to be able to
- 33:07move that barbell,
- 33:08get off of it with enough
- 33:09time to get yourself ready.
- 33:12Stimulus says anywhere from
- 33:14four to seven burpees a round.
- 33:15I feel like seven is a lot.
- 33:16It ends up being seventy
- 33:17burpees over the course of
- 33:19ten minutes plus the ninety
- 33:24reps on the barbell.
- 33:27That would be a lot.
- 33:29I feel like you have to be
- 33:30pretty darn fit to be able
- 33:30to pull something like that off.
- 33:33She was awesome.
- 33:34So apparently she's dropped
- 33:36in there before.
- 33:38Even better than that is that yesterday,
- 33:40the whole reason she came
- 33:41to us is that yesterday,
- 33:44one of my best friends,
- 33:45Jeff and his wife had just finished up.
- 33:47Tracy had just finished up at the gym,
- 33:49stopped at the grocery
- 33:50store on the way home.
- 33:52Jeff said, or Tracy told me this morning,
- 33:54she said,
- 33:54we would just buy the vegetables.
- 33:56She said,
- 33:56and this random blonde headed
- 33:57girl comes up to us and is like,
- 33:59do y'all do CrossFit?
- 33:59And like,
- 34:02They're dressed in their workout gear.
- 34:06Like Tracy's got a shirt on and says, uh,
- 34:09CrossFit bird is across the front of it.
- 34:11And like, Jeff's got something else like,
- 34:14yeah, we do CrossFit.
- 34:15And like,
- 34:15she just started talking to him
- 34:17and asking him where they
- 34:17go at workout because she
- 34:18was in town and she needs
- 34:19somewhere to go.
- 34:21So she ended up at the gym, which I mean,
- 34:23Hey, that's Jim and area.
- 34:25I am not biased whatsoever.
- 34:27Not at all.
- 34:32When we talk next week,
- 34:33you're going to be right on
- 34:35the precipice of semifinals.
- 34:39Yes, sir.
- 34:40Yes, sir.
- 34:41Apparently the invites go
- 34:42out Monday along with the workouts,
- 34:44which I'm not sure how I feel about,
- 34:46but it is what it is.
- 34:48Just give me time to strategize.
- 34:51Yeah,
- 34:51just what you need is time to think
- 34:52about it more.
- 34:54Yeah.
- 34:55I'm going to tell you this, Scott,
- 34:57and you know me for a while now,
- 34:58but years past, that had been a problem.
- 35:02Cause I'd had too much time
- 35:03to think about it.
- 35:04And I'd have had seven
- 35:05different strategies for four workouts,
- 35:06which is not a good thing
- 35:07whatsoever right now.
- 35:11The only thing I care about
- 35:13is knowing that a,
- 35:14I can actually do whatever
- 35:16they throw out at the gym.
- 35:19Like if we have rope climbs,
- 35:20I have to go somewhere else.
- 35:21Our ropes don't go to.
- 35:22That's basically the right.
- 35:27Um,
- 35:28making sure that we have two
- 35:29people apparently to take
- 35:30the advanced judges course,
- 35:31because you need that.
- 35:34And then really and truly my
- 35:38two main goals,
- 35:39as far as the open is concerned,
- 35:40the actual CrossFit season,
- 35:43what is to finish or my one main goal,
- 35:46I should say it was to
- 35:46finish semifinals higher
- 35:48than I did last year on the leaderboard.
- 35:51Right now I am after the open,
- 35:54I am way higher than I was last year.
- 35:57So, so far, so good.
- 35:59We just got to get into this
- 36:00next part and see what they throw at us.
- 36:04So let me ask you this.
- 36:05I'm hearing stories.
- 36:09I'm not going to name any
- 36:09names of people who work
- 36:14out at unaffiliated gyms.
- 36:17To do semis,
- 36:18they have to do it at an affiliate.
- 36:20Yeah.
- 36:22Reaching out to local
- 36:23affiliates who are denying them
- 36:28from coming in, dropping in,
- 36:30and doing the workout.
- 36:34Because they're not
- 36:36supporting CrossFit by
- 36:38going to an unaffiliated gym.
- 36:44I know we don't really cuss
- 36:45in here a whole lot,
- 36:46but that's a dick move.
- 36:49I mean, why would you do that?
- 36:53So my first thought is...
- 36:55If you wanted to attract
- 36:56these people to an affiliate,
- 36:59that is not the way to do it.
- 37:01That's actually step one of
- 37:02how not to do it.
- 37:04Right.
- 37:05Like, isn't the goal, like,
- 37:07I think the goal of
- 37:09CrossFit to do this is to
- 37:11attract people to come try
- 37:12it out at an affiliate, see what it is.
- 37:15Maybe you want to join here.
- 37:17Or if you're not already an affiliate,
- 37:18maybe it's enough to make
- 37:21you pay the forty five
- 37:22hundred dollars to then
- 37:23become an affiliate to make
- 37:24it easier on athletes you have.
- 37:26Right.
- 37:30And so it it makes it just.
- 37:35It it is repelling new
- 37:38clientele as opposed to
- 37:40attracting new clientele.
- 37:43Also.
- 37:45Charge me.
- 37:46Charge them forty bucks.
- 37:48Charge them what it would
- 37:49cost to take the freaking
- 37:50advanced judges course.
- 37:52Yeah, you can come do it.
- 37:54Yeah.
- 37:57Just because it's semifinals.
- 37:58Do you think the rest of the
- 37:59year they're doing that to
- 38:00anybody who just says, hey,
- 38:01I'm dropping in?
- 38:02No, we don't.
- 38:09We've had people come in before.
- 38:11Matter of fact,
- 38:13before Waterpalooza last year,
- 38:15we had a couple, boyfriend and girlfriend,
- 38:18show up.
- 38:19They were going to be in
- 38:19town for a week for whatever reason.
- 38:22And we're going to be at the gym a lot,
- 38:26right?
- 38:27Because they were planning it now.
- 38:29We didn't just give them
- 38:30really nearly access.
- 38:32But as long as you pay your drop-in fee,
- 38:34you can be at the gym or gym.
- 38:37long as there's a coach
- 38:38there so basically as long
- 38:39as there's a class going on
- 38:40so if you want to get there
- 38:40at three thirty in the
- 38:41afternoon and stay until
- 38:43six thirty at night good to
- 38:45go as long as you paid your
- 38:46drop-in fee doesn't matter
- 38:47you want to show up at five
- 38:48a.m stay till seven come
- 38:53back at eight knock
- 38:56yourself out doesn't matter
- 38:57use whatever you need to
- 38:58use as long as you're not uh
- 39:02Stopping class or,
- 39:04or obstructing class or
- 39:05whatever from going on.
- 39:06If you're not messing with any of that,
- 39:08you can do whatever you need to do.
- 39:09Like our owner is like,
- 39:11he's perfectly fine with that.
- 39:13So I just don't understand the idea of,
- 39:16yeah, that is absolutely correct.
- 39:18Um, I just don't understand the point of,
- 39:22well, you're not supported affiliates,
- 39:23so you can't come here.
- 39:25Well,
- 39:25I'm trying to support your affiliate
- 39:27right now.
- 39:28Right.
- 39:31Andrew says you can do
- 39:31CrossFit in a garage.
- 39:32That's why CrossFit puts out
- 39:34the workout of the day for free.
- 39:36And then he follows up with,
- 39:37if anybody is in the
- 39:38Cincinnati area and needs
- 39:40help with the semis, let me know.
- 39:42I'll work with my affiliate, get you in,
- 39:44and help judge your workout.
- 39:46See, that's the community.
- 39:48How dare you be a good dude, Andrew?
- 39:52That's the stuff the
- 39:53community is made of and
- 39:54should be made of.
- 39:56That guy right there.
- 39:57Yeah.
- 40:01We used to go to the Outer
- 40:01Banks every year for a week.
- 40:04They would sell a fifty
- 40:06dollar weekly drop in fee.
- 40:08You pay fifty bucks and you
- 40:10get all the same privileges
- 40:12as a member of the gym.
- 40:14Come and go as you please.
- 40:16It's basically you are
- 40:18buying a one week
- 40:19membership to their gym.
- 40:20Yeah.
- 40:23And because it's a vacation destination,
- 40:25they would sell butt loads
- 40:27of those everywhere.
- 40:28I would imagine they would.
- 40:31I would imagine they would.
- 40:31We still do a punch cord for
- 40:33people that want it, like a hundred bucks,
- 40:36ten classes.
- 40:38And by ten classes, I don't mean that you,
- 40:39like, it's basically ten days, right?
- 40:44So if you come in from out of town,
- 40:45you know you're going to be
- 40:46there for two weeks.
- 40:47A hundred bucks,
- 40:49you can be there five days
- 40:50a week if you want to for two weeks.
- 40:53Knock yourself out.
- 40:54Come into class,
- 40:54go on the weightlifting side,
- 40:55do whatever you want to do over there.
- 40:58matter doesn't bother us
- 40:59market marketing we see you
- 41:00come in mark yourself down
- 41:02on the uh on the low sheet
- 41:04and go on about your
- 41:04business like it's easy to
- 41:06do I just don't understand
- 41:08the idea of basically being
- 41:12a butt for no good reason
- 41:15and refusing to take
- 41:16people's money for what for
- 41:19some sort of prince because
- 41:20they don't because they're
- 41:22they're not supporting
- 41:23crossfit that's insane
- 41:25that's what crazy people do
- 41:28Well, we're coming up on one o'clock.
- 41:31Yes, we are.
- 41:33And so my lunch hour is just about over.
- 41:36Next week, we will.
- 41:38I will watch Den of Thieves
- 41:39two by next week.
- 41:41Now that I've watched Den of Thieves one.
- 41:43I got to finish it.
- 41:44I was about to enjoy it.
- 41:47And we'll talk about that next week.
- 41:48And then we'll be right on
- 41:50the precipice of semifinals.
- 41:54Maybe Jamie will have a
- 41:54decision whether she's competing at WFP.
- 41:58And we'll have some other
- 41:59stuff going on as we cook
- 42:01it up Cajun style next Wednesday.
- 42:03But until then, get back to work,
- 42:05you hooligans.
