  Oh, not much.
• 0:44
  We had tennis states this weekend.
• 0:47
  Well, we left Thursday to get there.
• 0:50
  They played on Friday.
• 0:52
  One of the teams,
• 0:53
  our four doubles made it to
• 0:55
  Saturday to semifinals.
• 0:56
  So that was exciting.
• 0:59
  And then they took seventh in the state.
• 1:03
  Very cool.
• 1:05
  I went back home to Sarnia this weekend,
• 1:07
  saw my family that I haven't seen in
• 1:11
  in a few months maybe.
• 1:12
  So there was like this French party thingy,
• 1:18
  like a,
• 1:19
  it was like the sixty fifth
• 1:20
  anniversary of like the
• 1:21
  French club in Sarnia.
• 1:23
  So they brought back like a
• 1:24
  bunch of previous
• 1:25
  presidents and how and just
• 1:27
  like explained how the
• 1:29
  French club started like in
• 1:31
  nineteen fifty eight and
• 1:32
  all of the different
• 1:34
  activities that have kind
• 1:35
  of happened in my hometown
• 1:37
  ever since from this club.
• 1:40
  So it was really cool.
• 1:43
  Awesome.
• 1:43
  And that's your hometown.
• 1:46
  Yeah.
• 1:46
  My dad, like my dad is,
• 1:47
  and my mom is very involved
• 1:49
  with that club.
• 1:49
  So my dad's the president right now.
• 1:53
  So I went home to support his big project.
• 1:59
  Sherry sauce says happy Sunday.
• 2:01
  All big lions win today.
• 2:02
  I didn't notice Jamie was
• 2:04
  wearing that sweater.
• 2:06
  Yeah.
• 2:09
  Yeah.
• 2:09
  I didn't put my Niner shirt on.
• 2:10
  I know.
• 2:12
  Closer than me.
• 2:14
  I thought they were going to win.
• 2:16
  I thought in the second half
• 2:17
  when they got on that
• 2:17
  little bit of a roll,
• 2:19
  I thought they were going to pull it out.
• 2:21
  And then Patrick Mahomes did
• 2:22
  Patrick Mahomes stuff.
• 2:24
  And a couple interceptions
• 2:25
  doesn't help as well.
• 2:27
  No.
• 2:29
  Well, all my teams were off this weekend.
• 2:32
  So it was crazy not having
• 2:34
  any football in the middle of fall.
• 2:36
  Usually I have at least college or pro.
• 2:39
  I had nothing this weekend.
• 2:41
  So I replaced all the
• 2:42
  doorknobs in my house.
• 2:43
  with um the kind that like
• 2:45
  come out and go to the side
• 2:47
  so you can like just put
• 2:48
  like an elbow on it and
• 2:49
  they'll open instead of a
• 2:51
  round doorknob um because
• 2:54
  we did that on our front
• 2:55
  door and it made it so easy
• 2:56
  like getting groceries and
• 2:57
  stuff in like that julie
• 2:59
  wanted it on all the doors
• 3:00
  right so um we did that
• 3:03
  this weekend and um
• 3:06
  I just put like a lot of little projects,
• 3:09
  um, that have been waiting.
• 3:11
  Um, I, I finished up this weekend,
• 3:13
  which was really nice.
• 3:14
  And then we,
• 3:15
  we did some meal prep stuff and, uh,
• 3:17
  already for the week.
• 3:19
  And, uh,
• 3:20
  and then her Steelers play in about.
• 3:21
  And the WNBA final game five
• 3:27
  and on any second now, the New York Mets,
• 3:30
  uh,
• 3:30
  Dodgers game is on in about three
• 3:33
  minutes.
• 3:34
  Yeah, this is like big sports day.
• 3:37
  This is like October is the
• 3:39
  month where every sport is going.
• 3:41
  Yes.
• 3:42
  But CrossFit.
• 3:43
  Right.
• 3:45
  Right.
• 3:45
  Yeah.
• 3:46
  Down under throw down this weekend.
• 3:49
  It's like playoff baseball,
• 3:52
  basketball starting up,
• 3:53
  hockey starting up, the WNBA playoffs.
• 3:56
  Yeah, it's some good stuff.
• 3:57
  Soccer playoffs maybe as well.
• 4:00
  Soccer is going in some form or fashion.
• 4:05
  I think it's like a
• 4:06
  mid-season break where
• 4:06
  they're doing like friendlies, but –
• 4:11
  Don't quote me on that.
• 4:11
  I am definitely not a soccer aficionado,
• 4:14
  but we do have a pro team
• 4:16
  here in Columbus with the Columbus crew.
• 4:20
  And they sell out like every game.
• 4:23
  It's a huge thing here.
• 4:26
  But hockey's going.
• 4:27
  I've caught a couple of Penguin games.
• 4:29
  I watched the Blue Jacket game,
• 4:31
  their first home game,
• 4:32
  because one of their best
• 4:33
  players was killed in a car
• 4:35
  accident in this offseason.
• 4:38
  And they did a big tribute
• 4:39
  to him to start the game.
• 4:41
  And Carolyn actually posted
• 4:42
  it on her Instagram.
• 4:44
  But they didn't fill his
• 4:46
  position on the rink to start the game.
• 4:50
  And then when the puck dropped,
• 4:51
  everybody stood still for a
• 4:53
  period of silence.
• 4:56
  um and he was beloved in
• 4:58
  columbus um really good guy
• 5:01
  um and yeah it was it was a
• 5:03
  sad moment really really
• 5:05
  big gut check for the
• 5:06
  community here so yeah that
• 5:12
  happened this week too
• 5:14
  But yeah, on to more fun things.
• 5:17
  The one thing I did do this weekend is,
• 5:19
  you know, I'm a big music fan.
• 5:20
  The Rock and Roll Hall of
• 5:21
  Fame inductions happened
• 5:23
  last night and Disney
• 5:25
  Channel aired it live.
• 5:26
  Oh, nice.
• 5:27
  And it was only like six hours long.
• 5:31
  Um,
• 5:31
  but a lot of like my favorite bands
• 5:34
  growing up and I'm much
• 5:35
  older than you guys, but, um,
• 5:38
  like my mom loved Dionne Warwick.
• 5:40
  She got in.
• 5:42
  Um, so it was fun seeing that.
• 5:43
  And, uh,
• 5:44
  I have always been a big Cher fan.
• 5:48
  Um, and she got in,
• 5:49
  I cannot believe she has
• 5:50
  not been in before that,
• 5:52
  but she still looks amazing.
• 5:56
  And, uh,
• 5:56
  and she sang and performed and it
• 5:58
  was really good.
• 6:00
  Um,
• 6:01
  I'm trying to think uh
• 6:04
  foreigner got in but their
• 6:05
  band members are so old
• 6:06
  they couldn't really
• 6:07
  perform so they had like
• 6:09
  three songs done and sammy
• 6:10
  hagar did one demi lovato
• 6:13
  did one and kelly clarkson
• 6:14
  did one and they were
• 6:16
  fantastic the performances
• 6:18
  have been really amazing
• 6:20
  Ozzy got in, Ozzy Osbourne.
• 6:22
  He could not perform.
• 6:24
  So he had people sing for him.
• 6:29
  But again, the performances were great.
• 6:31
  Kelly Clarkson,
• 6:32
  I think is like one of the
• 6:33
  most underrated voices.
• 6:35
  Like she's so good.
• 6:37
  She did one of the foreigner
• 6:38
  ballads and she hit notes
• 6:40
  that like they never came
• 6:42
  close to hitting back in the day,
• 6:44
  but it sent like goosebumps up my spine.
• 6:48
  Yeah.
• 6:48
  Like she sings on her
• 6:50
  daytime show all the time,
• 6:51
  different versions of different songs.
• 6:53
  She is so good.
• 6:56
  Every cover that she does is unreal.
• 7:00
  Yeah.
• 7:00
  If you, if you find a clip of it, Carolyn,
• 7:02
  it's so worth it.
• 7:04
  Um,
• 7:06
  It just amazing.
• 7:07
  But yeah, Dave Matthews got into,
• 7:10
  but I did not make it to,
• 7:11
  he's the last person
• 7:12
  inducted and I did not make it there.
• 7:14
  So I'm going to watch it tomorrow, but,
• 7:16
  but I'm a big fan of his as well.
• 7:20
  But yeah, like so many good,
• 7:21
  so many good groups.
• 7:22
  And I, and I cool in the gang,
• 7:25
  cool in the gang was like
• 7:26
  probably one of my biggest covers in my,
• 7:29
  in my concerts I did in my
• 7:30
  bedroom from the age of
• 7:31
  twelve to like sixteen.
• 7:34
  I did at least three or four
• 7:36
  cool and again covers a day.
• 7:39
  So I would sing out the back
• 7:40
  window to the chipmunks.
• 7:42
  They, they really enjoyed it.
• 7:45
  Jamie,
• 7:45
  are you doing water Palooza
• 7:47
  qualifiers right now?
• 7:48
  I'm not doing water Palooza.
• 7:49
  I'm doing, um, fittest of the coast.
• 7:53
  When's that one?
• 7:54
  I don't know.
• 7:56
  When is the comp?
• 7:57
  Yeah.
• 7:57
  When's the, like,
• 7:59
  I think it's like second
• 8:01
  week of February.
• 8:04
  Um, so they did that one in like a,
• 8:06
  almost like the open three weeks,
• 8:08
  like a workout comes out on
• 8:09
  Thursday and it's due on Monday.
• 8:12
  Um,
• 8:12
  and so there was three different
• 8:13
  workouts.
• 8:14
  Well, the second week was two workouts,
• 8:17
  like a lift after a lift after a workout.
• 8:20
  And then Thursday was,
• 8:22
  we got the last workout.
• 8:23
  So it's due or it's due Tuesday.
• 8:26
  So it comes out Thursday.
• 8:27
  It's due Tuesday.
• 8:29
  Holy smokes.
• 8:29
  This last one.
• 8:31
  Are you doing fitness to the coast?
• 8:32
  No, no.
• 8:34
  This last one,
• 8:35
  I've never been sore from Totobar.
• 8:37
  How many have you been
• 8:38
  having in the workout?
• 8:39
  What is it?
• 8:39
  So it's a fourteen minute
• 8:41
  AMRAP of fifteen Totobar,
• 8:46
  ten box jump overs, five deadlifts.
• 8:48
  So fifteen, ten, five,
• 8:49
  fourteen minute AMRAP.
• 8:50
  I like that.
• 8:52
  Three fifteen or two oh five
• 8:54
  on the deadlift.
• 8:55
  So super like basic exercise.
• 8:58
  Like, yeah, just a shit ton of Total War.
• 9:03
  Yeah, they're rough side up, though.
• 9:04
  Yeah.
• 9:05
  I've never been sore from Total War.
• 9:06
  How many box jump?
• 9:07
  Is it burpee box jump overs?
• 9:08
  No, just box jump over.
• 9:10
  Box jump over.
• 9:11
  Ten.
• 9:13
  Yeah, so, yeah, that.
• 9:16
  Yeah.
• 9:16
  Add up to lots of reps for sure.
• 9:17
  I mean,
• 9:18
  it's going to come down to total
• 9:20
  bar for everybody.
• 9:21
  It's very similar to the one, uh,
• 9:24
  water Palooza workout.
• 9:25
  I mean,
• 9:25
  it's not similar in terms of time domain,
• 9:27
  but it's toast to bars,
• 9:29
  a box jump over and
• 9:31
  dumbbell snatches instead of deadlifts.
• 9:33
  Yeah.
• 9:33
  Yes.
• 9:34
  Okay.
• 9:36
  So I saw this and I don't
• 9:38
  have time to do it,
• 9:38
  so I'm not going to sign up, um,
• 9:40
  for Wadapalooza, but I was,
• 9:42
  I saw training think tank
• 9:44
  put out a thing.
• 9:45
  Is it, is,
• 9:46
  can you choose any format to do
• 9:48
  the workout?
• 9:49
  Yeah.
• 9:49
  So this is very, this is very unique,
• 9:51
  Scott.
• 9:51
  I don't know if you can pull this up,
• 9:53
  but the Wadapalooza qualifier, um,
• 9:56
  number three, I think.
• 9:59
  So you can do, um,
• 10:04
  So all the way straight through,
• 10:06
  fifty toaster bars,
• 10:07
  seventy box jump overs,
• 10:11
  ninety dumbbell snatches.
• 10:14
  You can do it in reverse.
• 10:16
  Ninety snatches, seventy box jump overs,
• 10:19
  and finish with fifty toaster bars.
• 10:21
  You can do ten rounds of five toaster bars,
• 10:24
  seven box jump overs, and nine snatches.
• 10:27
  Or you can do two rounds of
• 10:29
  twenty-five toaster bars,
• 10:31
  thirty-five box jump overs, and ninety
• 10:35
  but like you don't see very often like
• 10:42
  Pick the way that you want to do it.
• 10:44
  What do you think about a
• 10:47
  qualifier as important as Wadapalooza?
• 10:50
  Sometimes it's just like you
• 10:52
  can do everything unbroken,
• 10:52
  but you just pick the wrong one, right?
• 10:54
  Yeah.
• 10:55
  So that's what I'm curious
• 10:56
  about because we did see
• 10:57
  the choose your own
• 10:58
  adventure style for the Open in the year.
• 11:01
  But it was literally choose your own.
• 11:04
  And so that was a strategy on...
• 11:09
  yourself.
• 11:10
  This one is like dictating
• 11:11
  these four options.
• 11:13
  What, I guess what I'm curious is like,
• 11:17
  is there, it's,
• 11:19
  it's just the best time is going to win.
• 11:20
  It doesn't like,
• 11:21
  if you choose the two
• 11:22
  rounds for time and your
• 11:23
  time is better than my
• 11:24
  straight through you in.
• 11:25
  Yeah.
• 11:27
  Yep.
• 11:29
  Like when you look at these versions,
• 11:32
  I think the two rounder
• 11:33
  makes the most sense because
• 11:36
  Because if you do it straight through,
• 11:38
  I mean, if you go on broken,
• 11:40
  if you're able to do it,
• 11:42
  the whole thing on broken,
• 11:44
  I just think that your
• 11:45
  cycle speed could maybe
• 11:46
  slow down a little bit, but I don't know.
• 11:49
  Like, I mean,
• 11:51
  if you can do everything on broken,
• 11:52
  then option number one
• 11:54
  would be the fastest.
• 11:56
  Right.
• 11:57
  And if not, it's option three,
• 12:00
  which is the two rounder.
• 12:02
  Right.
• 12:03
  Yeah, I mean, I feel like that option two,
• 12:06
  for somebody who had the capacity,
• 12:08
  I feel like the option two
• 12:10
  doesn't make sense because
• 12:12
  there's too much transition time.
• 12:14
  Yeah, you're going to probably wind up ten,
• 12:17
  twenty seconds slower
• 12:18
  because of just moving
• 12:19
  between implements that much.
• 12:21
  Yeah, I want to do this workout.
• 12:25
  I did it today just to test
• 12:26
  it for someone because I
• 12:29
  like these movements.
• 12:30
  I did the two rounder.
• 12:31
  Okay.
• 12:31
  Okay.
• 12:33
  Um, yeah, it was, it's, it's fast,
• 12:37
  but it's, it's fun.
• 12:39
  I'm just curious.
• 12:41
  I'm not doing a lot of Palooza by the way.
• 12:43
  Um,
• 12:44
  but I'm just curious if I did option one,
• 12:48
  whether I would be faster
• 12:49
  than option three, like the two rounder.
• 12:52
  If I just went fifty toes to
• 12:53
  bars and tried to go on broken there,
• 12:55
  recover my grip.
• 12:57
  I mean,
• 12:57
  I feel like I could do fifty toes
• 12:59
  to bars on broken or if I
• 13:00
  needed to drop at the very last second,
• 13:02
  just
• 13:03
  a quick off and on.
• 13:05
  I feel like I can do seventy
• 13:06
  ninety unbroken.
• 13:07
  I just wonder if my cycle
• 13:09
  speed would be slower.
• 13:12
  And now.
• 13:14
  Yeah, I'm just I'm just curious,
• 13:15
  like what the fastest time
• 13:17
  is going to be.
• 13:17
  Is it going to be someone
• 13:18
  who did option one or
• 13:19
  option three and whether
• 13:20
  they're going to put in the
• 13:22
  leaderboard what option they did?
• 13:24
  Because I would be curious
• 13:25
  to see the winning score.
• 13:27
  It came from which option?
• 13:29
  Yes, that's that's what I'm curious about.
• 13:33
  Yeah.
• 13:34
  Agree.
• 13:35
  Uh, dense update says big, dig your app,
• 13:37
  pick your poison.
• 13:38
  Uh, I dig it.
• 13:41
  It is cool.
• 13:41
  When I saw that, the workout, I was like,
• 13:44
  what the heck?
• 13:45
  Like,
• 13:46
  and it plays mind games with you
• 13:48
  because you're like,
• 13:49
  you don't really want to do it twice.
• 13:51
  Right.
• 13:51
  I mean,
• 13:52
  you only have like this weekend to
• 13:54
  do all of these workouts.
• 13:56
  So you don't really want to
• 13:57
  do this one twice.
• 13:57
  You kind of need to pick the
• 13:59
  right one and do it.
• 14:00
  I think you can do it twice
• 14:02
  if you just don't do it back to back.
• 14:07
  I guess you could start with it.
• 14:08
  I'm just curious if my
• 14:11
  option one would be faster.
• 14:13
  I would prefer option one than four.
• 14:15
  I'd prefer to start and
• 14:16
  finish your toaster bars
• 14:17
  and then you can hold on to
• 14:18
  the dumbbell snatches.
• 14:20
  Yes.
• 14:21
  Versus finishing with the toaster bars.
• 14:23
  I don't think that would be good.
• 14:27
  Yeah.
• 14:28
  I'd rather finish with just
• 14:30
  Dumbbell snatches.
• 14:32
  But yeah, I'm just curious because I mean,
• 14:34
  if you do have it unbroken,
• 14:36
  that's the fastest one.
• 14:38
  I feel like my box jumps are
• 14:41
  so slow that trying to do
• 14:42
  seventy in a row would be.
• 14:45
  I spin in a circle.
• 14:46
  I just go the same way.
• 14:48
  And then what I did is like,
• 14:50
  I would spin a circle.
• 14:52
  And then before I'm done, like close to,
• 14:55
  um, I started doing like, you go one way,
• 14:59
  then you go back, you know,
• 15:00
  like the regular one that
• 15:01
  people do just to like on wire,
• 15:04
  my brain that was just going in a circle.
• 15:07
  Yeah.
• 15:11
  That's, uh,
• 15:13
  I think it'd be interesting
• 15:14
  if they actually posted the
• 15:16
  results of that one.
• 15:18
  Yes.
• 15:19
  See how many people picked what did it,
• 15:21
  was there one that was like
• 15:22
  avoided more than the others?
• 15:24
  Like it'd be interesting to
• 15:26
  see like some data on it.
• 15:28
  I feel like option two or
• 15:30
  option with the two rounds is,
• 15:33
  going to be the more popular
• 15:34
  one for the elite athletes.
• 15:36
  Yeah, that one.
• 15:37
  And that,
• 15:38
  but I think there will be a lot
• 15:39
  of people who choose to try
• 15:41
  the option to the ten
• 15:42
  rounds and try to move very fast.
• 15:44
  Like, no, I just,
• 15:47
  depending on how close you're,
• 15:48
  I don't know if there's a floor plan,
• 15:49
  if you have to have things, probably not.
• 15:52
  So if you can keep it close
• 15:54
  enough and really move through it,
• 15:57
  could be quicker.
• 15:58
  I don't know.
• 15:59
  It's just, it is a lot.
• 16:00
  It's interesting.
• 16:01
  And it's like,
• 16:03
  I don't know if I like that, though.
• 16:04
  I know.
• 16:06
  I don't know if that should
• 16:07
  be a part of fitness,
• 16:08
  like choosing the right, I mean, like.
• 16:12
  So I think we have to remember, though,
• 16:15
  that outside the CrossFit Games,
• 16:17
  they're not finding the fittest, right?
• 16:18
  They're just holding a
• 16:20
  competition and having people come.
• 16:22
  Yeah.
• 16:23
  Like Rogue says we're
• 16:25
  finding the strongest and fittest,
• 16:28
  but it's biased towards
• 16:29
  strength most of the time.
• 16:32
  And I think that's fine as
• 16:33
  long as you know that going in.
• 16:36
  Right.
• 16:37
  Um, but if you're doing the CrossFit games,
• 16:39
  it should be a balanced
• 16:41
  test from start to finish.
• 16:44
  Yes.
• 16:45
  Yeah.
• 16:48
  Um, dense updates ask,
• 16:50
  do you do more faster if
• 16:51
  you partition the reps?
• 16:53
  I'm thinking the ten rounds
• 16:54
  would be faster as long as
• 16:55
  the transitions are minimal.
• 16:56
  Yeah.
• 16:58
  But I think that's the
• 16:58
  difference between a normal
• 17:01
  athlete and an elite athlete.
• 17:03
  Right.
• 17:04
  Because I think some elite
• 17:06
  athletes would do Murph unpartitioned.
• 17:08
  Oh, well, yeah.
• 17:13
  That wouldn't be the fastest.
• 17:14
  It wouldn't be that one.
• 17:17
  But like, if you were like,
• 17:18
  if you're like Josh bridges
• 17:20
  and you're able to do the
• 17:21
  chest of bars on broken,
• 17:22
  you do the five rounder of what they did.
• 17:25
  And for the most part be unbroken,
• 17:27
  like let's say on the,
• 17:28
  on the air squats and the
• 17:29
  pushups or whatever rep
• 17:30
  that you can do on broken
• 17:32
  the whole way with the
• 17:33
  least amount of transitions.
• 17:34
  Like that's the version.
• 17:35
  Yep.
• 17:35
  Yeah.
• 17:36
  Yeah.
• 17:40
  Bruce Wayne says,
• 17:40
  what a blues is a festival.
• 17:42
  It is.
• 17:44
  Well, this isn't even in our notes.
• 17:45
  So,
• 17:45
  but a good question of this is I heard
• 17:48
  Colton Merton say at crash
• 17:51
  or in an interview he did
• 17:52
  with Savan later this week
• 17:54
  that he wasn't doing what a
• 17:55
  Palooza because it's not
• 17:58
  worth it for two days and
• 18:00
  five events or whatever he said.
• 18:03
  Right.
• 18:03
  He said,
• 18:05
  if they went back to the four day version,
• 18:07
  uh,
• 18:08
  it would be worth it for him to do that.
• 18:11
  But when you shrink it to
• 18:13
  two days and then two days a team,
• 18:15
  it's not worth it anymore.
• 18:18
  I just want to get your thoughts.
• 18:19
  Do you think Wadapalooza
• 18:21
  will eventually lose some
• 18:22
  of the elite athletes
• 18:24
  because of that or the
• 18:26
  up-and-coming athletes
• 18:27
  trying to make that next step up?
• 18:33
  For one,
• 18:33
  I think Colton's a little bit of
• 18:35
  an outlier because I don't think –
• 18:37
  team appeals to him quite
• 18:39
  the same as some other
• 18:40
  people so like I don't
• 18:42
  think that he even
• 18:42
  necessarily wants to do
• 18:43
  that so he would be going
• 18:44
  for two days and it
• 18:45
  definitely isn't worth it
• 18:46
  the people who want to do
• 18:50
  both and in like work out
• 18:53
  with their buddies I can
• 18:54
  see the appeal of it
• 18:56
  He also said he mentioned
• 18:58
  the rain out events too.
• 18:59
  Yeah.
• 18:59
  You have two days,
• 19:01
  five or six events and half
• 19:02
  of them get rained out or
• 19:03
  changed or whatever.
• 19:05
  And it just wasn't worth it.
• 19:06
  His investment anymore.
• 19:08
  Yeah.
• 19:09
  To go to that.
• 19:09
  I feel that.
• 19:12
  Someone like Pat or Brent or Tia even,
• 19:16
  who's been in the sport forever,
• 19:18
  they can go do those things
• 19:19
  for fun because they've
• 19:21
  established they know how to compete.
• 19:23
  They know what a four-day weekend is.
• 19:25
  They know, right?
• 19:27
  And they can go have fun.
• 19:29
  But an athlete on the cusp
• 19:31
  of like from semifinal to
• 19:33
  games probably needs more
• 19:36
  four-day comps to prep
• 19:37
  themselves to understand what that is,
• 19:40
  to run through nutrition
• 19:43
  and sleep and rest and all
• 19:46
  of those things.
• 19:47
  And you don't get that
• 19:48
  anymore with Wadapalooza.
• 19:51
  Yeah,
• 19:52
  I'd argue that the field isn't as
• 19:54
  deep either.
• 19:55
  And like Colton said,
• 19:57
  you want to go to a comp
• 19:58
  where you're actually like
• 20:00
  when you finish,
• 20:01
  you you kind of know where you stand.
• 20:07
  Or for him,
• 20:07
  it's more worth it to do a
• 20:08
  local comp than to go to
• 20:10
  Wadapalooza and do that.
• 20:15
  It has been worth it for him lately.
• 20:18
  It has.
• 20:19
  NorCal and Crash winning is
• 20:24
  more than basically
• 20:25
  finishing top ten of the games.
• 20:26
  He's had a great offseason.
• 20:29
  He's picked the right
• 20:29
  competitions and had some good exposure.
• 20:33
  And now he's at a point
• 20:34
  where he can just go do a
• 20:35
  couple of local Iowa comps
• 20:36
  and get some work in
• 20:38
  without worrying about money or.
• 20:43
  Yeah.
• 20:43
  I'm just curious how the new
• 20:45
  location of water will.
• 20:49
  attract more people maybe, um,
• 20:52
  just the layout of it.
• 20:53
  I'm just curious to see how
• 20:53
  that's going to be when it,
• 20:55
  when it goes through.
• 20:57
  I just like, I've only done team there and,
• 21:00
  um, but yeah,
• 21:01
  it's just like with the Reno and stuff.
• 21:03
  Like I understand why it's,
• 21:06
  Like some people are iffy
• 21:08
  about spending all that
• 21:09
  money because the flights
• 21:10
  aren't expensive,
• 21:10
  but the stay is so expensive.
• 21:12
  And then the actual
• 21:13
  competition fee is expensive,
• 21:16
  like very expensive.
• 21:18
  So if you don't feel like
• 21:19
  you're getting as much out
• 21:21
  of it as you can,
• 21:21
  maybe in another competition,
• 21:23
  I understand.
• 21:24
  But there are typically a
• 21:26
  lot of great athletes that will show up.
• 21:29
  Yeah, I've been twice as a media person,
• 21:32
  both times struggled to get
• 21:34
  any kind of footage or access.
• 21:38
  And even getting into the
• 21:39
  stands for the events was
• 21:40
  near impossible.
• 21:43
  I do think I'm talking about
• 21:45
  this from an athlete point of view,
• 21:46
  but I think the fans love
• 21:47
  the format they have now.
• 21:50
  I think the fans like it.
• 21:51
  I do think they like to
• 21:52
  watch like the two day of
• 21:54
  individuals and then get to
• 21:55
  see them also compete in team.
• 21:57
  You don't get to see those
• 21:58
  people do team all the time.
• 21:59
  So it's cool to see the
• 22:01
  three same sex compete
• 22:03
  together and work together.
• 22:08
  It's as an athlete,
• 22:09
  you almost want to do both because like,
• 22:13
  you just want to make it a
• 22:14
  longer weekend and make it
• 22:15
  worthwhile of your,
• 22:17
  of your stay basically.
• 22:18
  Yeah.
• 22:19
  Um,
• 22:20
  but it has shrunk the amount of events
• 22:21
  that you'll be able to do
• 22:23
  in terms of if you're just
• 22:24
  doing individual or just doing teams.
• 22:27
  Um, but at the same time,
• 22:28
  you're allowing people to do both,
• 22:30
  which is cool.
• 22:31
  And I think now we're seeing
• 22:32
  super teams get formed that weekend.
• 22:34
  Like you said,
• 22:35
  that you don't see very often.
• 22:36
  And I think the team aspect
• 22:39
  of Autopalooza is much more
• 22:40
  loose and people are do a lot of talking,
• 22:44
  a lot of jabbing at each other.
• 22:46
  Um,
• 22:48
  and I think that makes it
• 22:48
  more fun for the crowd and
• 22:51
  it starts with individual
• 22:52
  and ends with team too.
• 22:53
  So like you get the really
• 22:55
  serious individual piece
• 22:57
  kind of done and out of the way.
• 22:58
  And then the Saturday,
• 22:59
  Sunday is this fun trash
• 23:02
  talk and more on the men's
• 23:05
  side than the women's side.
• 23:06
  But, um,
• 23:08
  And sometimes some of the
• 23:09
  teams change because of the
• 23:10
  individual competition and
• 23:11
  how it went for someone.
• 23:12
  And all of a sudden a team
• 23:14
  that was supposed to have
• 23:14
  this person gets this
• 23:15
  person and this team got
• 23:17
  better because they added
• 23:18
  this person that filled in.
• 23:20
  Um, yeah,
• 23:21
  there's a lot of last minute
• 23:22
  changes as well.
• 23:25
  Like I remember the year Emily had to,
• 23:27
  to withdraw from team
• 23:28
  because you're injured or calf.
• 23:31
  Yep.
• 23:31
  Is it Sarah's team?
• 23:32
  I think.
• 23:33
  Yeah.
• 23:33
  Yeah.
• 23:36
  Yeah.
• 23:37
  Um,
• 23:37
  Bruce says it's going to be worse on
• 23:38
  South beach.
• 23:41
  I think getting there is
• 23:42
  going to be way worse and
• 23:43
  the price is going to be the stays.
• 23:45
  Yeah.
• 23:48
  Yeah.
• 23:53
  Clock says Colton's Hall,
• 23:54
  twenty five K from NCC,
• 23:56
  seven K from crash,
• 23:58
  about fifteen K right from
• 24:00
  slaughtering Taylor week in
• 24:01
  and week out on kill Taylor.
• 24:04
  Yeah, he has one.
• 24:05
  I don't think it's fifteen K,
• 24:06
  but it's probably like six or seven.
• 24:14
  Yeah.
• 24:15
  Yeah.
• 24:15
  And if you didn't see it this week,
• 24:16
  Gabby McGowan took some
• 24:17
  money from Taylor as well.
• 24:21
  which was cool to see a woman win.
• 24:23
  Yeah.
• 24:24
  I thought that was cool.
• 24:27
  And take home the prize money.
• 24:30
  And she looked really happy.
• 24:31
  She did.
• 24:33
  Which was really awesome to see that.
• 24:36
  There's been a lot of speculation,
• 24:38
  and I know nothing.
• 24:39
  I'm just saying there's been
• 24:40
  speculation about
• 24:41
  relationships because of
• 24:42
  what happened at the games.
• 24:43
  She looked really happy.
• 24:44
  I agree.
• 24:46
  And she's still training with Ben.
• 24:49
  and Krypton.
• 24:50
  Um, and so that's really cool.
• 24:53
  And then reps ahead has come.
• 24:55
  I think Lex mentioned this.
• 24:56
  Oh yeah.
• 24:58
  I guess we can do that now.
• 25:01
  Okay.
• 25:02
  Um, I pulled up the website.
• 25:07
  One of the things I got to do today was,
• 25:11
  uh, hook up my Bluetooth keyboard.
• 25:14
  so I can um type faster than
• 25:18
  leaning across to my laptop
• 25:21
  um so here are the matches
• 25:24
  for oh shoot I did the
• 25:27
  keyboard but my mouth still
• 25:29
  stinks here we go these
• 25:31
  look like fun events to do
• 25:32
  um so here are the
• 25:36
  match-ups match what one is
• 25:39
  tutor magda versus cole
• 25:40
  grease saber oh is it handstand walking
• 25:44
  No, it's again.
• 25:49
  Match two is James Sprague
• 25:50
  versus John Wood.
• 25:51
  Match three is Trista Smith
• 25:53
  versus Zoe Warren.
• 25:54
  And match four is Ariel
• 25:55
  Lowen versus Lauren Stallwood.
• 26:00
  And then they're going to do a final,
• 26:02
  which I think the winners
• 26:03
  of each match will then
• 26:05
  move to the final.
• 26:08
  And the Sunday evening final is Candice.
• 26:12
  there's also a third place
• 26:13
  match and I think there's
• 26:14
  like five grand for the
• 26:15
  first place and like one
• 26:17
  grand for third place or
• 26:19
  something like that I think
• 26:20
  I read somewhere I could be
• 26:22
  wrong though I was trying
• 26:24
  to read as you guys were
• 26:25
  discussing the waterpalooza
• 26:27
  event and I did not see the
• 26:30
  money on here but it did
• 26:32
  have um all of this which
• 26:35
  it's a pretty good lineup
• 26:37
  um you know we're big tudor
• 26:39
  fans on this show yeah
• 26:41
  Um,
• 26:42
  so happy to see him and Cole that I
• 26:44
  would love.
• 26:45
  I would love to see that race.
• 26:46
  Yeah.
• 26:47
  Maybe that's the tiebreaker.
• 26:53
  I know that'd be cool.
• 26:54
  This is the event that, uh,
• 26:56
  Hiller and Brian friend are
• 26:58
  doing together.
• 26:58
  Correct.
• 26:59
  Okay.
• 27:02
  So that comes up, um, like November, Oh,
• 27:05
  it's like Thanksgiving weekend.
• 27:09
  Right.
• 27:10
  The weekend before, I think.
• 27:11
  Okay, so like the twenty-third?
• 27:12
  Here we go.
• 27:14
  Eleven, twenty-three, and twenty-fourth.
• 27:16
  Yep, okay.
• 27:17
  See, there's the money.
• 27:20
  Keep going down.
• 27:22
  There we go.
• 27:23
  Winners of the semifinal
• 27:24
  matches earn two thousand
• 27:26
  and proceed to the final match Sunday.
• 27:29
  Those who are defeated in
• 27:30
  the semifinal round will
• 27:32
  compete in a third-place
• 27:33
  match on Sunday worth one
• 27:35
  thousand for the win.
• 27:37
  The winners from the
• 27:38
  semifinal round will
• 27:38
  compete to earn five
• 27:39
  thousand in the final matches on Sunday.
• 27:43
  Wow.
• 27:43
  I want to do one.
• 27:45
  Yeah.
• 27:45
  I want to do those two workouts.
• 27:48
  There we go.
• 27:49
  Yeah, that's pretty good.
• 27:50
  That's good money.
• 27:52
  Yeah.
• 27:53
  I do agree with Carolyn and
• 27:54
  you've said this on past shows.
• 27:55
  We we do need to update the
• 27:59
  workouts a little bit more.
• 28:00
  They're very similar every time.
• 28:05
  I don't want to become high rocks.
• 28:11
  every single one has had a
• 28:12
  box jump in the middle.
• 28:15
  A box jump over.
• 28:16
  Why can't we do something else in that?
• 28:18
  Like some double-unders or well,
• 28:20
  that would be the reps.
• 28:23
  Stop it with those double-unders, guys.
• 28:25
  You guys stop it right there.
• 28:27
  Speaking of double-unders, guys,
• 28:30
  I hired a coach this week
• 28:32
  for the first time in my
• 28:33
  career to help me do my double-unders.
• 28:37
  I've been referred to her
• 28:38
  for like so long.
• 28:40
  Um, her name is Molly.
• 28:42
  Yup.
• 28:43
  So I'm going to be starting
• 28:44
  to work with her for the
• 28:45
  next couple or six or six weeks maybe.
• 28:50
  So looking forward to it.
• 28:52
  I had to send her these
• 28:53
  videos this week and I'm
• 28:55
  sure she will have a
• 28:56
  headache watching me.
• 28:57
  I'm sure she's seen it all.
• 28:59
  I've heard very good things about her.
• 29:01
  I've heard very good things.
• 29:02
  So.
• 29:03
  You'll have to keep updating
• 29:04
  us with the progress,
• 29:05
  and maybe we'll do a live
• 29:09
  test under pressure at the
• 29:10
  end of the training.
• 29:12
  Yeah.
• 29:13
  So I'll have to take a step back for sure.
• 29:16
  I mean,
• 29:16
  it's the off-season right now for
• 29:17
  me officially,
• 29:18
  so I'll take a step back
• 29:20
  from doing double-unders in
• 29:21
  my actual training to try
• 29:23
  to rewire everything and
• 29:27
  hopefully get more straight
• 29:30
  for double-unders.
• 29:34
  Cool.
• 29:34
  Well,
• 29:34
  we'll definitely cover that reps ahead.
• 29:36
  Well, as it approaches more, um, that's,
• 29:38
  that's a pretty good lineup.
• 29:40
  Um, should be good.
• 29:42
  It should be interesting to
• 29:43
  see how like James and
• 29:46
  Ariel feel going to rogue
• 29:49
  and then into that.
• 29:50
  Cause that's only going to
• 29:51
  be like two weeks.
• 29:52
  It's only one workout.
• 29:53
  They'll be fine.
• 29:54
  Athletes probably won't even
• 29:56
  flinch at that, but yeah,
• 29:58
  it'll be interesting.
• 30:01
  So all access episode seven
• 30:05
  is coming out tomorrow at
• 30:06
  twelve thirty every Monday, as always.
• 30:09
  And I do have a trailer to
• 30:11
  share with you guys.
• 30:14
  So it's about two minutes
• 30:16
  and it really features.
• 30:20
  Duke Van Vliet, who is Val Vobrol's coach.
• 30:26
  And then we just give you a
• 30:28
  little of the eye candy of the workout.
• 30:29
  This is the Echo Bike death one.
• 30:33
  And the funny thing about this episode,
• 30:34
  when you watch it,
• 30:35
  is nobody wanted to talk to us after.
• 30:37
  Yeah.
• 30:38
  So really most of the stuff,
• 30:40
  most of the interview is before.
• 30:42
  And then the after is just
• 30:43
  everybody kind of refusing
• 30:44
  to talk to Ellie Hiller as
• 30:46
  she's approaching them
• 30:47
  coming off the floor.
• 30:49
  And then we,
• 30:50
  we focus on Zoe and Ashley
• 30:52
  Fiala and her watching Zoe in at the pit.
• 30:57
  Yeah.
• 30:58
  To kind of finish up the episode.
• 31:00
  So that's what this episode is about.
• 31:03
  And I'll just play the trailer now.
• 31:05
  Yeah,
• 31:05
  it's just been a minute since we've done,
• 31:07
  you know, let alone, like,
• 31:08
  the CrossFit Games, like,
• 31:09
  just a multi-day event.
• 31:11
  You know, like, again, Val is, you know,
• 31:14
  she comes to my five a.m.
• 31:15
  class every day.
• 31:16
  Like, she is not, you know,
• 31:18
  I'm sure most people
• 31:19
  probably don't want to hear this, but,
• 31:20
  like...
• 31:21
  She doesn't do anything extra.
• 31:25
  When she found out she made the games,
• 31:28
  we had to have a talk saying, hey,
• 31:31
  you're probably going to be
• 31:33
  in the top ten without changing anything.
• 31:36
  We don't need to change what we're doing.
• 31:39
  What you're doing is already working.
• 31:40
  We can sprinkle in a little
• 31:41
  extra work here and there
• 31:42
  where you feel you need trouble.
• 31:46
  She's an amazing mom,
• 31:48
  a pillar of our community,
• 31:50
  of our local community in California.
• 31:51
  She's a teacher and there's
• 31:55
  so much more fulfillment in
• 31:57
  her life outside of
• 31:58
  CrossFit that I wanted to make sure that,
• 32:01
  because back in the day,
• 32:02
  you know how it is,
• 32:03
  you see these individuals,
• 32:04
  they train all year and
• 32:07
  longer to guarantee their
• 32:08
  performance and success at the Games.
• 32:11
  you know I didn't
• 32:12
  necessarily want her to do
• 32:13
  that I still want her to
• 32:14
  have a summer with her
• 32:15
  family and take vacations
• 32:16
  and and you know obviously
• 32:18
  still train for the games
• 32:19
  which we did and so um yeah
• 32:21
  it's uh this was a little
• 32:23
  bit of a different approach
• 32:24
  in terms of getting ready
• 32:25
  specifically for the games
• 32:26
  but I think for her it was
• 32:28
  a much healthier approach
• 32:31
  you know mentally and
• 32:32
  emotionally for her because i
• 33:05
  That's the trailer.
• 33:07
  Any PTSD, Jamie?
• 33:08
  No.
• 33:12
  You actually took second on that event,
• 33:13
  right?
• 33:14
  Yeah.
• 33:14
  Crushed that one.
• 33:16
  Yeah.
• 33:18
  Carolyn, those double unders,
• 33:19
  you got to see those right there.
• 33:22
  I'll get to see lots of them
• 33:23
  in the next few months.
• 33:27
  Yeah, this was a fun episode to make.
• 33:29
  This one took a lot more
• 33:30
  effort this week because I
• 33:32
  added the Fiala story in
• 33:33
  there of mother and
• 33:35
  daughter competing and
• 33:36
  thousands of miles apart, same weekend.
• 33:40
  But it's a cool little end piece to this.
• 33:44
  And then we interviewed both
• 33:45
  of them and they were great
• 33:46
  sports about that,
• 33:47
  but a huge story and great
• 33:50
  to be able to add that into this.
• 33:53
  uh aaron frazier says reps
• 33:55
  ahead needs to put an echo
• 33:56
  bike in their workouts make
• 33:57
  people sell their souls
• 33:58
  yeah it's tough I think
• 34:02
  they sell their souls to
• 34:03
  try to get the reps ahead
• 34:04
  um and we saw that the last
• 34:07
  few times but it would just
• 34:11
  be hard to see with the
• 34:12
  screen with a machine like you like um
• 34:16
  But they have a really, I mean,
• 34:17
  their reps counter is better.
• 34:22
  If they could link that in
• 34:24
  or if it's just a person
• 34:25
  hitting a clicker while
• 34:26
  they're watching it,
• 34:30
  then we'd be able to see
• 34:31
  that on the big screen as
• 34:32
  opposed to like the monitor.
• 34:35
  That's one thing they do really,
• 34:36
  really well is their rep
• 34:39
  counters are dead on.
• 34:43
  So next thing up is CrossFit HQ is hiring.
• 34:50
  They are hiring a project
• 34:51
  manager of sports operations.
• 34:55
  And in the description,
• 34:57
  it really lists out,
• 34:58
  I'm gonna list out the
• 34:59
  responsibilities because I
• 35:00
  was really intrigued by,
• 35:02
  it's a lot of the duties
• 35:05
  that Dave took over when he
• 35:06
  came back to sport.
• 35:07
  I know that one of the main
• 35:09
  reasons they brought him
• 35:10
  back was to help with
• 35:13
  sponsor relationships,
• 35:15
  and that is what this job
• 35:16
  is going to do now.
• 35:18
  It really has a feel of the
• 35:20
  business side of the
• 35:22
  CrossFit Games and its season.
• 35:25
  So the responsibilities are
• 35:27
  the day-to-day management
• 35:28
  of the sports budget,
• 35:29
  including event budgets and vendors,
• 35:31
  project managed sports initiatives,
• 35:33
  including recurring season
• 35:35
  projects and special projects,
• 35:37
  including established
• 35:39
  project timelines with stakeholders,
• 35:41
  monitor project progress
• 35:42
  and ensure delivery on time
• 35:44
  and within scope and budget,
• 35:46
  manage changes to project scope,
• 35:48
  schedule and costs using
• 35:50
  appropriate verification techniques,
• 35:52
  conduct regular status
• 35:53
  meetings with stakeholders,
• 35:55
  and to review progress and resolve issues,
• 35:58
  conduct post-project
• 35:59
  debriefs after action
• 36:01
  reports with stakeholders.
• 36:03
  Also,
• 36:03
  support the CrossFit Games season
• 36:05
  competitions by...
• 36:07
  coordinate event schedules
• 36:08
  and stakeholders,
• 36:09
  including competition
• 36:11
  broadcast and other event staff,
• 36:14
  lead the development of
• 36:15
  event information packets,
• 36:17
  event team staff, athletes, judges,
• 36:20
  coaches, and agents,
• 36:22
  coordinate event staffing
• 36:23
  with internal and external stakeholders,
• 36:26
  i.e.
• 36:26
  communication budget, contracts,
• 36:28
  and in-event comms,
• 36:30
  administrative on-site load at events,
• 36:33
  i.e.
• 36:33
  coordination of will call,
• 36:35
  Ticket packets VIPs and
• 36:38
  ensuring the onsite APP is
• 36:40
  ready on time on budget and
• 36:41
  continually improved.
• 36:43
  Manage sports surveys and
• 36:45
  then finally lead the
• 36:46
  initiative of all contact
• 36:48
  tracks for sport and liaise
• 36:50
  with legal ensure sport has
• 36:52
  the appropriate tools and
• 36:54
  resources to increase
• 36:55
  efficiency and effectiveness continually.
• 37:00
  Which is a lot.
• 37:01
  It seems like a lot.
• 37:02
  Very much the business side
• 37:06
  of setting up the games.
• 37:10
  Yeah.
• 37:12
  Contracts, stakeholders, vendors,
• 37:16
  information packets, communication,
• 37:18
  those things like all the... Budget.
• 37:21
  I mean, yeah.
• 37:22
  Yeah.
• 37:24
  I worry this is going to come,
• 37:27
  they're going to pick some
• 37:28
  business person from
• 37:29
  outside of the sport who
• 37:33
  maybe doesn't quite understand the games,
• 37:39
  like what's needed out of it.
• 37:40
  I don't know.
• 37:43
  And maybe a different
• 37:44
  perspective could be okay,
• 37:46
  but it's not the programming.
• 37:47
  It's not the
• 37:48
  But budget will constrict,
• 37:51
  and that's huge.
• 37:52
  I think that already was an
• 37:54
  issue this year.
• 37:57
  Do you think that this is
• 38:00
  any indication that Dave
• 38:01
  may not be involved next year?
• 38:05
  No.
• 38:07
  My true opinion, in my opinion,
• 38:11
  they're trying to take
• 38:12
  stuff off of Dave so he
• 38:13
  doesn't have as much to deal with.
• 38:16
  And then it becomes more of
• 38:17
  a team actually putting on the games.
• 38:22
  I was looking,
• 38:23
  I looked through this whole
• 38:24
  thing to see like if safety coordination,
• 38:27
  looking at agreements with county, local,
• 38:31
  state, whatever, that is not in here.
• 38:36
  I thought that maybe they
• 38:36
  were trying to give like
• 38:37
  that separation for that
• 38:40
  kind of planning to be
• 38:43
  given to somebody else.
• 38:46
  One,
• 38:46
  I think what I just listed off is a
• 38:49
  job and a half.
• 38:49
  Yeah.
• 38:51
  Not a job.
• 38:51
  I agree.
• 38:54
  And then in addition to all
• 38:55
  the other stuff that he does, like,
• 38:59
  is mind-boggling to me.
• 39:02
  But I'm wondering if they're
• 39:03
  going to break apart that, his job,
• 39:06
  into pieces.
• 39:07
  And then,
• 39:09
  and I don't know what the end result is,
• 39:10
  whether he keeps or loses his job, but
• 39:14
  But if they break it apart,
• 39:16
  it makes it easier to divvy up and say,
• 39:19
  hey, it's not just one person anymore.
• 39:21
  It's a team.
• 39:25
  But I don't know.
• 39:27
  But I know Heather Lawrence
• 39:28
  deals with the outside the
• 39:30
  ropes aspect of the event,
• 39:33
  but not necessarily the
• 39:34
  budget and the stakeholders
• 39:37
  and all of that kind of stuff.
• 39:38
  Yeah.
• 39:40
  Justin Berg was kind of in
• 39:42
  charge of the budget, right,
• 39:43
  when he was there?
• 39:45
  So, like Dent says,
• 39:46
  I find it hard to believe
• 39:47
  this position didn't already exist.
• 39:51
  Yeah, I'm curious, like,
• 39:52
  who took that budget role once Berg left?
• 39:56
  Was that Dave?
• 39:59
  I don't see him as an accounting guy.
• 40:01
  I don't either.
• 40:05
  I mean, did Don Fall just say,
• 40:06
  here's your budget, and...
• 40:12
  I don't know.
• 40:13
  Maybe that's the issue.
• 40:14
  Maybe one of the things
• 40:15
  that's coming out of this
• 40:16
  investigation that none of
• 40:17
  us have seen or heard of is
• 40:20
  that there aren't clear
• 40:21
  defined roles as to who does what.
• 40:23
  And maybe this is the first
• 40:25
  step to giving defined
• 40:28
  roles for every job
• 40:29
  associated with sport to
• 40:30
  make sure people know what
• 40:31
  they are responsible for.
• 40:35
  This is a little much to put
• 40:37
  on one person.
• 40:37
  I just think you're going to...
• 40:44
  It is unless they're going
• 40:45
  to shrink down what the season is.
• 40:52
  And that's the rumor, right?
• 40:53
  Is that it's going to be
• 40:54
  online or something for a lot of it?
• 40:56
  That could just be a rumor.
• 41:00
  That is a rumor.
• 41:00
  Those rumors seem to always
• 41:03
  come to fruition.
• 41:04
  I mean, everyone knew,
• 41:05
  seemed to know exactly
• 41:07
  what's happening with
• 41:08
  Masters and Teens when it
• 41:11
  was just a rumor.
• 41:12
  I will say, Paula, I hate that.
• 41:14
  I do too.
• 41:15
  But the best part of the
• 41:16
  season that is not marketed
• 41:18
  enough and is not played
• 41:20
  out enough is the semifinals.
• 41:23
  That is the best time to
• 41:24
  watch CrossFit live.
• 41:25
  It is the most fun you can have.
• 41:28
  And when I've told people
• 41:29
  that on the show and then
• 41:30
  met them at semis, they were like,
• 41:31
  you're absolutely right.
• 41:33
  We had so much more fun here
• 41:34
  than we did at the games.
• 41:36
  Yep.
• 41:38
  It's just not marketed well enough.
• 41:40
  And we don't keep it the
• 41:41
  same from year to year.
• 41:44
  Right.
• 41:47
  Yeah.
• 41:48
  I don't know.
• 41:51
  At the very least, I think it has to,
• 41:54
  you have to go back to,
• 41:56
  I say it all the time.
• 41:56
  You have to have a public leaderboard.
• 41:58
  Someone needs to,
• 42:01
  they need a media team who's like,
• 42:03
  like if this happens,
• 42:05
  someone needs to put
• 42:06
  together like clips of four
• 42:08
  people going head to head
• 42:10
  and like how people advanced on.
• 42:12
  And try to promote it that way.
• 42:14
  Like,
• 42:14
  would we go back to like a five week
• 42:16
  open?
• 42:18
  That's what I was wondering.
• 42:20
  Or would it still be like
• 42:22
  open quarterfinals and then
• 42:26
  the semifinal like they did
• 42:28
  in twenty twenty one online style?
• 42:33
  Because I can't see CrossFit
• 42:36
  cutting too many of the online portions,
• 42:38
  like quarterfinals,
• 42:39
  because there's so much
• 42:42
  money being generated from
• 42:43
  these online competitions.
• 42:46
  I agree.
• 42:53
  I don't think they're cutting quarters.
• 42:55
  It was too big of a moneymaker.
• 42:57
  It's a huge moneymaker,
• 42:58
  especially when they added
• 42:59
  twenty five percent instead
• 43:00
  of ten percent.
• 43:01
  Like it's even more inviting to people.
• 43:04
  Um, yeah.
• 43:07
  Yeah.
• 43:07
  I just, I hate the online competition.
• 43:09
  I just hope that like,
• 43:11
  like I'll say it here.
• 43:13
  I will try to copy what
• 43:14
  Savan did with some, somebody.
• 43:16
  Absolutely.
• 43:17
  Um,
• 43:18
  and we will run some form of live
• 43:20
  competition during semis.
• 43:24
  Um,
• 43:25
  I've talked to some athletes.
• 43:27
  Quarters, you mean?
• 43:28
  I would do it for quarters and semis.
• 43:30
  If semis goes on.
• 43:31
  If it's online, yeah.
• 43:33
  But I don't think you'll get
• 43:35
  as many people.
• 43:38
  If the semifinals are online
• 43:39
  and that's the way to the games,
• 43:41
  I don't know that you'll
• 43:42
  get that many people buying
• 43:44
  into showing their scores.
• 43:45
  Compared to quarterfinals,
• 43:47
  it's completely different
• 43:48
  because quarters,
• 43:49
  you're making it onto the semifinals,
• 43:51
  and then you still have the
• 43:53
  semifinals in quarterfinals.
• 43:55
  If you have people like
• 43:56
  Dallin and Colton say what
• 43:57
  they did this week where
• 43:58
  they said the benefit of
• 44:00
  competing head-to-head
• 44:02
  outweighed people knowing their scores.
• 44:06
  Yeah.
• 44:07
  So you're going to have a
• 44:08
  group that think that and
• 44:09
  you're going to have a group that don't.
• 44:10
  Yeah.
• 44:11
  Yeah.
• 44:13
  And I guess I'm coming from
• 44:15
  an athlete that would be
• 44:15
  more of a bubble athlete.
• 44:18
  So I wouldn't show my scores
• 44:19
  type thing versus someone
• 44:21
  like Dallin who's going to – should –
• 44:25
  Yeah.
• 44:26
  So I guess I see it from my,
• 44:27
  like me wanting to hide my
• 44:29
  scores type thing.
• 44:31
  Well, I'll, I would do it, Scott.
• 44:32
  I'll be the Lindsay Lane.
• 44:35
  I'll do it.
• 44:35
  Actually.
• 44:36
  I'll do it for the master's division.
• 44:38
  There you go.
• 44:39
  Me versus Jamie.
• 44:40
  There you go.
• 44:43
  Yeah.
• 44:43
  Oh, you know,
• 44:44
  when we brought this up a
• 44:45
  couple of weeks ago,
• 44:46
  when I said you and Carlene head to head,
• 44:48
  like we got comments that
• 44:50
  people wanted that.
• 44:52
  Awesome.
• 44:54
  so that was interesting
• 44:56
  we'll get a little reps
• 44:57
  ahead action of carlene and
• 44:59
  myself because because
• 45:01
  carolyn's like she's way
• 45:02
  younger than you like
• 45:03
  you're old whatever give me
• 45:08
  some dubs come on let's go
• 45:10
  damn it and heavy dubs and
• 45:14
  heavy deadlifts how about
• 45:15
  it I could uh yeah that
• 45:18
  could even it out a little bit
• 45:21
  That's hilarious.
• 45:23
  But we'll,
• 45:23
  we'll try something if that's
• 45:25
  the way it goes to at least
• 45:27
  have something to watch and to,
• 45:28
  to feel more involved in
• 45:30
  the semis or quarters or
• 45:32
  whatever during that time.
• 45:36
  But there's a job there.
• 45:37
  If anybody wants it,
• 45:38
  you can go out to CrossFit and apply now.
• 45:41
  Mary Katz- Man I don't I
• 45:43
  don't know who would want
• 45:44
  that job that sounds.
• 45:45
  Mary Katz- Extremely
• 45:46
  stressful so I've done like half of that.
• 45:48
  Mary Katz- yeah in my past
• 45:50
  career right but,
• 45:52
  but the other half I'm I'm
• 45:54
  not confident enough to
• 45:55
  like lay it on the line to apply.
• 45:58
  Mary Katz- At this point in my life.
• 46:02
  Mary Katz- At my elderly age.
• 46:08
  Uh, real quick,
• 46:09
  I'm going to share my screen.
• 46:10
  I'm skipping over the next
• 46:11
  one and we'll come back to it.
• 46:12
  Okay.
• 46:13
  Um,
• 46:15
  concept two came out with a new machine.
• 46:18
  Do you guys see it?
• 46:19
  Yes.
• 46:21
  The strength erg.
• 46:26
  I first saw this, uh, from barbell spin,
• 46:28
  but then I saw this video
• 46:31
  on concept two's website.
• 46:33
  So the parts move, uh,
• 46:35
  Like you, you can pull, pull, you can push,
• 46:38
  you can,
• 46:41
  who do you think they're selling to?
• 46:44
  Like PT clinics.
• 46:47
  I don't know.
• 46:49
  This is so interesting to me.
• 46:55
  I like it.
• 46:58
  With the PS PM monitor,
• 47:01
  it is fifteen hundred bucks.
• 47:05
  I was reading the comments
• 47:06
  and someone was like,
• 47:07
  is there an eccentric verse?
• 47:08
  Like that's what I just concentric or like,
• 47:11
  is there any eccentric, um, parts to the,
• 47:17
  to the movements?
• 47:19
  Yeah.
• 47:21
  I, I didn't look like, like it is,
• 47:23
  but I heard that it only
• 47:24
  does the concentric.
• 47:25
  And to me, that's a huge problem.
• 47:27
  Can you hear it?
• 47:32
  Yeah, we can.
• 48:22
  I asked if it was going to
• 48:23
  get sold on the rogue site
• 48:25
  and it's not just on their CT.
• 48:27
  I see.
• 48:30
  Larry says a lot of people
• 48:32
  are hammering the new C two,
• 48:33
  but it's probably strength
• 48:34
  training for older folks.
• 48:35
  I can totally see that.
• 48:36
  I really like the screen concept.
• 48:38
  I like being able to see the
• 48:39
  force like provided there.
• 48:43
  I can totally see my dad
• 48:44
  using this and actually
• 48:45
  like trying to see
• 48:48
  the strength growth over time, um,
• 48:52
  giving him like concrete
• 48:54
  and like a little less wear
• 48:55
  and tear on joints.
• 48:55
  Right.
• 48:56
  Yeah.
• 48:58
  Yeah.
• 49:01
  It also hooks into your app as well,
• 49:03
  like an app on a phone.
• 49:04
  Yeah.
• 49:05
  And it keeps your data,
• 49:07
  which is really good.
• 49:07
  I wish they, can they do that?
• 49:09
  Can you do that on your like
• 49:11
  rower or your.
• 49:12
  Yeah.
• 49:13
  Yeah.
• 49:13
  There's like,
• 49:13
  there's an app for it that
• 49:15
  you can actually watch all of your splits,
• 49:18
  everything.
• 49:18
  If you connect to the, to the monitor,
• 49:21
  like the PM five stuff.
• 49:23
  Yep.
• 49:25
  I would just wish there were
• 49:26
  ways to get a little bit different angles,
• 49:29
  like more for like a lat, like pool.
• 49:32
  Maybe if you could raise it
• 49:33
  up just a little bit.
• 49:35
  But like for a first go at a
• 49:37
  strength machine,
• 49:38
  I think it's pretty awesome.
• 49:39
  I like it.
• 49:40
  And it's all air-wind
• 49:41
  resistance with a damper.
• 49:45
  So anyway, how about you?
• 49:52
  the app that you can do on C
• 49:54
  two normally it's called erg data.
• 49:56
  Yep.
• 49:57
  And if you connect to the
• 49:59
  wifi of a PM five, uh,
• 50:02
  like literally everything
• 50:03
  goes to it and it's all
• 50:05
  saved on there and you can
• 50:06
  look at previous workouts
• 50:07
  that you've set up everything.
• 50:08
  So it's erg data.
• 50:09
  Yep.
• 50:11
  That's what I have.
• 50:14
  Cool.
• 50:14
  A couple more news pieces
• 50:15
  and then we'll go to the
• 50:16
  question of the night.
• 50:17
  And that is a romance to have hip surgery.
• 50:22
  And he's probably out eight to ten months.
• 50:25
  That's crazy.
• 50:27
  It's a shame it took him so
• 50:28
  long to get into the country.
• 50:32
  Because now he just seems to
• 50:33
  be riddled with injury after injury.
• 50:39
  But I hope he mends well and
• 50:41
  can come back at it.
• 50:42
  Because I...
• 50:46
  there's always this like
• 50:48
  asterisks behind everything because, well,
• 50:50
  if he wouldn't have gotten hurt,
• 50:52
  if he wouldn't have gotten hurt or before,
• 50:55
  like if he could get in the country,
• 50:57
  like it'd be nice for him
• 50:59
  to have one full healthy
• 51:01
  season all the way to the
• 51:03
  end to see what he could do.
• 51:10
  Yeah.
• 51:10
  Um,
• 51:11
  The other thing was,
• 51:13
  this was announced by Barbell Spend Too,
• 51:15
  and it's on the Rogue Instagram account.
• 51:18
  And I just wanted to ask you,
• 51:21
  is there a difference that I'm missing?
• 51:22
  Because it looks like a
• 51:24
  regular floor to me,
• 51:25
  but Rogue announced new venue, new floor,
• 51:28
  and they posted a motion
• 51:30
  graphic on Instagram.
• 51:34
  And here it is.
• 51:37
  Well, it's an indoor stadium.
• 51:39
  Right.
• 51:39
  Yeah.
• 51:40
  you don't normally add turf
• 51:42
  to an indoor stadium.
• 51:43
  Like you've never seen a semifinal.
• 51:45
  You've never seen anywhere
• 51:47
  add a huge area of turf.
• 51:48
  So that would be cool to have an indoor.
• 51:52
  I'll leave now.
• 51:54
  So that's the difference that that's turf.
• 51:56
  And I did not,
• 51:58
  I thought the green was just
• 51:59
  green matting instead of
• 52:00
  black matting or color change.
• 52:05
  That's turf, isn't it?
• 52:06
  Am I being dumb?
• 52:08
  No, that makes sense.
• 52:09
  That makes way more sense
• 52:10
  than what I thought.
• 52:11
  If it's turf, then yeah, it's pretty cool.
• 52:14
  It's cool.
• 52:14
  I think that's a great idea.
• 52:17
  It looks like turf.
• 52:17
  That's what I thought.
• 52:18
  I thought it was just a green mat.
• 52:21
  I don't think it would be green mats.
• 52:23
  I think it's turf.
• 52:24
  And then you have half rubber.
• 52:27
  I feel like a moron now.
• 52:29
  So to me,
• 52:30
  if you're doing an indoor stadium,
• 52:31
  you've never seen that before.
• 52:32
  Right.
• 52:34
  Now that gives CrossFit
• 52:36
  maybe another thing,
• 52:37
  an idea that they could do
• 52:39
  at their next event at the
• 52:40
  CrossFit Games that it's
• 52:42
  possible to do a turf area
• 52:44
  indoors because that
• 52:45
  changes a lot of things and
• 52:46
  implements that you can put on that,
• 52:48
  like that you had at the previous games,
• 52:51
  like on North Park,
• 52:52
  but you didn't do in Texas.
• 52:56
  Yeah.
• 52:57
  Yeah.
• 52:58
  if if rogue can pull this
• 53:00
  off can well if it's
• 53:03
  something that can be moved
• 53:04
  to location to location
• 53:05
  then it's doable otherwise
• 53:07
  I'd say it's not in the
• 53:08
  game's budget if they get
• 53:12
  rid if they get rid of
• 53:13
  semi-finals then it's in
• 53:15
  their budget I mean they
• 53:18
  already kind of did get rid
• 53:19
  of semi-finals didn't they
• 53:21
  I mean they handed them off
• 53:23
  there it was still it had
• 53:23
  to be an expense they they
• 53:25
  broadcast it they
• 53:28
  if they go online there's no
• 53:29
  broadcast fee there's no it
• 53:32
  goes from a budget to no
• 53:34
  budget I wonder if Rogue is
• 53:36
  doing their broadcast stuff
• 53:38
  like they did last year I
• 53:40
  hope so they haven't
• 53:42
  released anything about it
• 53:43
  right I haven't seen
• 53:44
  anything on the like on
• 53:48
  their Instagram that they
• 53:49
  have it but I hear you have
• 53:50
  a connection it seemed like
• 53:52
  it was successful last time
• 53:54
  I hear you have a connection
• 54:01
  I do.
• 54:01
  If it's available, I'll pay for it.
• 54:04
  Guaranteed.
• 54:08
  I look at Rogue almost like the XFL.
• 54:12
  The XFL was so innovative.
• 54:15
  Now,
• 54:15
  the football on the turf was terrible.
• 54:20
  the innovations that came
• 54:21
  out of it were great like
• 54:23
  we have the over the field
• 54:24
  camera in the nfl now
• 54:26
  because of the xfl we have
• 54:28
  instant replay changes
• 54:30
  because of the xfl I think
• 54:32
  that like the multi-cast
• 54:34
  that rogue did should be
• 54:36
  moved to the games but the
• 54:37
  games doesn't pay attention
• 54:38
  to rogue because they just
• 54:39
  pay attention to their past
• 54:40
  not what any other competition does
• 54:44
  maybe we get someone in
• 54:45
  there to pay attention and, and,
• 54:48
  and have a multicast where
• 54:49
  people would pay twenty
• 54:50
  five to thirty bucks for it
• 54:53
  and get to see everything
• 54:54
  with multi multiple views
• 54:56
  and you actually make money on it.
• 54:59
  Going here on what kind of said,
• 55:02
  I wonder if they're going
• 55:03
  to change or like organize
• 55:07
  the schedule in a way that
• 55:09
  most of the fans are North
• 55:10
  American fans like
• 55:12
  that like for like their time zone,
• 55:14
  if they're going to
• 55:15
  organize it in a way that like,
• 55:19
  it's just like easier on the broadcast,
• 55:21
  like timing wise for North
• 55:23
  America to see at the same
• 55:25
  time as going on in Europe.
• 55:26
  I don't like in Europe, it's what six,
• 55:29
  how far, how far?
• 55:31
  I think it's five or six hours.
• 55:32
  It's not that bad.
• 55:34
  It's not like Asia or it's,
• 55:37
  and it's ahead of us.
• 55:40
  So it would be like early morning,
• 55:42
  late afternoon type thing.
• 55:44
  And I'm not against like
• 55:46
  going in and watching the
• 55:47
  replay four hours later.
• 55:50
  Isn't it nine hours?
• 55:52
  It depends, I guess, where you're from.
• 55:54
  No,
• 55:56
  I think it's all the way to Italy is
• 55:57
  only like seven or eight.
• 56:00
  I just know from like
• 56:01
  scheduling interviews with people.
• 56:05
  The UK is five or six.
• 56:07
  Okay, that's not as bad as I thought.
• 56:10
  It's probably six for us, East Coast.
• 56:15
  Five or six,
• 56:16
  depending on what part of the
• 56:17
  UK you're in.
• 56:18
  I think it's six hours,
• 56:19
  and then from Lex in
• 56:20
  California would be nine hours.
• 56:22
  Exactly right, yes.
• 56:23
  Yeah.
• 56:29
  That's going to be tough to...
• 56:34
  I don't know.
• 56:35
  I think that's me.
• 56:38
  What's wrong with waking up
• 56:39
  in the morning and watching
• 56:40
  CrossFit first thing when that's great.
• 56:43
  So what?
• 56:43
  You don't think they'll
• 56:44
  start till like noon?
• 56:46
  That's what I'm wondering.
• 56:47
  Like,
• 56:47
  I'm wondering if they just start
• 56:48
  around noon.
• 56:49
  So it's not like you're
• 56:50
  starting at like so early in the morning,
• 56:53
  but they got one.
• 56:55
  I don't know.
• 56:56
  They haven't announced.
• 56:56
  I don't think I've seen a
• 56:57
  schedule yet of things, but yeah,
• 57:03
  it could be weird hours.
• 57:06
  Is it three or four day comps there?
• 57:08
  I don't even remember.
• 57:09
  Is it a three day comp?
• 57:11
  Well,
• 57:11
  they've added it up like a fourth day,
• 57:13
  but it's usually only one
• 57:14
  event on Thursday night.
• 57:15
  Oh yeah.
• 57:16
  The one, I think the one time I was there,
• 57:17
  we had like a run.
• 57:19
  I don't remember if that was,
• 57:20
  if that made it three days or four days.
• 57:22
  I think that made it four.
• 57:23
  That made it four.
• 57:24
  I think so.
• 57:25
  Yeah.
• 57:28
  Yeah.
• 57:31
  I hope it'll be good though.
• 57:32
  Yeah.
• 57:33
  Yeah.
• 57:35
  Okay, last question I have for you is,
• 57:40
  we've kind of,
• 57:42
  Matt's been gone since the beginning.
• 57:43
  He's been gone since the beginning.
• 57:45
  Tia's still hanging around.
• 57:47
  Dominating.
• 57:48
  But there's really no,
• 57:50
  there's no heir apparent to
• 57:53
  like a new dominating
• 57:57
  multi-year champion.
• 58:02
  My question to you is,
• 58:04
  because Pat and Brent and
• 58:06
  Tia are getting older and
• 58:08
  they're ready to retire.
• 58:11
  Not ready to retire,
• 58:11
  but it could happen soon.
• 58:14
  Within the next few years.
• 58:16
  Who is next in this sport?
• 58:19
  Is there a next Matt or Rich?
• 58:23
  Or is there a next Annie, Katrin, Tia?
• 58:30
  It's like on the female side,
• 58:32
  it's so hard because like
• 58:33
  the ones that you've
• 58:34
  penciled in the last few years,
• 58:35
  like the Emma cares, the Mal O'Brien,
• 58:37
  the Emma Lawson's have all, you know,
• 58:40
  Hayley Adams kind of stepped away.
• 58:42
  Not, not, not Emma Lawson,
• 58:43
  but you just don't,
• 58:44
  it's really hard to predict
• 58:48
  whether they're going to
• 58:49
  stick to it at the level that they're at.
• 58:54
  Yeah,
• 58:54
  Dallin Pepper on the men's side seems
• 58:57
  to be a fan favorite right
• 58:59
  now to possibly be one of the next ones.
• 59:02
  But it's just hard to...
• 59:05
  Until I see someone win multiple times,
• 59:07
  and I get we saw Justin, but...
• 59:10
  It's just so hard.
• 59:11
  The sport has changed so much.
• 59:15
  It's so hard to be dominant.
• 59:18
  Justin won twice with
• 59:19
  winning one event in two years.
• 59:22
  It didn't have the same feel
• 59:24
  as a Matt or a Rich.
• 59:28
  Right.
• 59:29
  I don't know that there's
• 59:30
  going to be another person that dominant.
• 59:35
  I think we're to the point where
• 59:37
  where it's going to take
• 59:38
  someone super special
• 59:40
  because we have grown the
• 59:42
  sport enough on the
• 59:43
  competition side where
• 59:45
  there are more people and
• 59:46
  the parody has grown.
• 59:49
  Right.
• 59:49
  Yeah.
• 59:51
  Yeah.
• 59:51
  Cause like Justin is so
• 59:52
  well-rounded and he's still
• 59:54
  right up there.
• 59:55
  It's just,
• 59:55
  there's so many more guys now
• 59:57
  that they're getting into
• 59:59
  their middling and, and stuff like that.
• 1:00:02
  We're still on the woman's
• 1:00:03
  side a little bit.
• 1:00:05
  less like there's less middling.
• 1:00:07
  Like there's still like a, yeah,
• 1:00:09
  a smaller top tier.
• 1:00:10
  I would say like on the woman's side,
• 1:00:11
  like it's the depth isn't
• 1:00:12
  there at the games level.
• 1:00:15
  Like it would be on the men's side.
• 1:00:16
  So if there is going to be one,
• 1:00:18
  it's going to be on the female side,
• 1:00:20
  not as much on the male
• 1:00:21
  side as what I think.
• 1:00:23
  But even the year Laura won
• 1:00:24
  and Tia wasn't there,
• 1:00:25
  Laura didn't get into the
• 1:00:27
  leader's Jersey till the final day.
• 1:00:29
  Right.
• 1:00:29
  Yeah.
• 1:00:30
  Like,
• 1:00:31
  And it felt,
• 1:00:32
  she feels like a dominant athlete,
• 1:00:34
  but she didn't win
• 1:00:35
  dominantly in that year.
• 1:00:38
  Right.
• 1:00:39
  But she's been so good since
• 1:00:41
  twenty eighteen, though,
• 1:00:43
  since she first stepped up
• 1:00:43
  to like since she first got
• 1:00:45
  there in twenty eighteen,
• 1:00:46
  got second place.
• 1:00:47
  Like she she has been the
• 1:00:49
  best female games athlete
• 1:00:52
  outside of if your name is
• 1:00:54
  Tia Claire to me.
• 1:00:57
  And it's no dig on her and
• 1:00:58
  it's no dig on Justin.
• 1:01:00
  But they just aren't the
• 1:01:00
  dominant athletes that Matt
• 1:01:02
  and Rich and Tia and Annie were.
• 1:01:06
  I wouldn't even put Katrin
• 1:01:08
  in that because the two years she won,
• 1:01:12
  Tia was nipping at her
• 1:01:13
  heels and Sarah Sigmund's
• 1:01:15
  daughter was not that far behind that.
• 1:01:21
  So...
• 1:01:24
  I don't think we can tell
• 1:01:25
  yet until basically Tia
• 1:01:28
  leaves the sport and we see who,
• 1:01:30
  who steps up and can win multiple times.
• 1:01:33
  Like it's just,
• 1:01:34
  I think it's too early to
• 1:01:35
  tell who the next one is.
• 1:01:37
  Still a lot of that can change.
• 1:01:40
  There's definitely a few
• 1:01:41
  athletes that have potential to be great,
• 1:01:47
  um, that are still younger, you know,
• 1:01:50
  like the, um,
• 1:01:52
  like the ones I named already, Alexis is,
• 1:01:55
  is there as well.
• 1:01:57
  Um,
• 1:01:57
  but she has health issues lately a
• 1:01:59
  little bit.
• 1:02:00
  Um, so it's just, it's hard to know.
• 1:02:05
  Do you think the way Emma is
• 1:02:07
  approaching whatever it is
• 1:02:10
  that is bothering her by
• 1:02:13
  taking like the off season
• 1:02:15
  off and still competing,
• 1:02:18
  like so far she has not
• 1:02:19
  missed a game season, um,
• 1:02:22
  But in this offseason,
• 1:02:24
  she has decided to do other
• 1:02:25
  things other than CrossFit.
• 1:02:26
  Ran a half marathon this weekend.
• 1:02:30
  Do you think that that puts
• 1:02:32
  her in a better position to
• 1:02:34
  keep going and kind of get
• 1:02:37
  back in the swing of things
• 1:02:38
  rather than like completely
• 1:02:40
  missing a season?
• 1:02:45
  I mean,
• 1:02:45
  that girl's been going at it since
• 1:02:47
  she was like nine years old.
• 1:02:48
  Like she's done CrossFit as
• 1:02:50
  long as I have.
• 1:02:52
  She started so young.
• 1:02:53
  Like she could have an off season.
• 1:02:56
  That is other things.
• 1:02:58
  Like she deserves to have an off season.
• 1:02:59
  That's other things.
• 1:03:00
  And yeah,
• 1:03:01
  um and I think that it's
• 1:03:03
  cool that she's done you
• 1:03:05
  know the high rock she's
• 1:03:06
  done the the half marathon
• 1:03:07
  sometimes like mentally
• 1:03:08
  it's nice to have a little
• 1:03:10
  competition to do that's
• 1:03:11
  like outside of your sport
• 1:03:12
  and less pressure like
• 1:03:13
  you're just doing it
• 1:03:14
  because it's going to keep
• 1:03:16
  you motivated and training
• 1:03:18
  but in a different way um I
• 1:03:20
  think this is great for her
• 1:03:21
  she needs us she took up
• 1:03:23
  golf too I think I saw on her or youtube
• 1:03:30
  So I think that's top of the pyramid.
• 1:03:32
  Yeah.
• 1:03:33
  Do I think it'll keep her in
• 1:03:35
  the sport longer?
• 1:03:36
  Yes, probably.
• 1:03:37
  Do I think it'll lead her to
• 1:03:40
  becoming the dominant next
• 1:03:43
  dominant athlete?
• 1:03:44
  No.
• 1:03:48
  I'm going to disagree with you,
• 1:03:49
  but I don't disagree so
• 1:03:52
  vehemently that I'm going to like go on.
• 1:03:55
  I look at like the other
• 1:03:56
  sports I watch like football.
• 1:03:58
  When it's their offseason,
• 1:03:59
  like Aaron Rodgers has said,
• 1:04:01
  like he doesn't pick up a
• 1:04:02
  football for six months in the offseason.
• 1:04:07
  Like he gets as far away
• 1:04:09
  from anything football in the offseason.
• 1:04:11
  So when he comes back,
• 1:04:12
  he can be one hundred
• 1:04:13
  percent focused and it's not as hard.
• 1:04:16
  That's what I did like
• 1:04:17
  growing up for different sports.
• 1:04:19
  So like all of my soccer
• 1:04:20
  teammates would play indoor
• 1:04:22
  soccer like throughout the winter.
• 1:04:24
  I didn't touch a soccer ball until spring.
• 1:04:26
  And then I would come right
• 1:04:27
  back and jump on it.
• 1:04:28
  I did not play hockey all year long.
• 1:04:30
  And a lot of my teammates
• 1:04:31
  played hockey all year long.
• 1:04:35
  I think it kept me injury free.
• 1:04:39
  more mentally uh like sharp
• 1:04:41
  and I wanted to come back
• 1:04:42
  and see those type like my
• 1:04:43
  my friends from before like
• 1:04:45
  I think taking a break is
• 1:04:47
  so normal in every other
• 1:04:49
  sport but crossfit it's so
• 1:04:50
  weird everyone takes
• 1:04:53
  almost two months off,
• 1:04:54
  sometimes even more from
• 1:04:55
  their sport and then come
• 1:04:57
  back and they feel much better.
• 1:05:00
  Um, but for whatever reason in CrossFit,
• 1:05:02
  you take three or four days
• 1:05:05
  off and people feel the
• 1:05:06
  need to get back in the gym right away.
• 1:05:08
  Um, even a week, they're like, nah,
• 1:05:12
  I gotta get back to the gym.
• 1:05:12
  I gotta get back.
• 1:05:13
  And it's like, it's not a big deal.
• 1:05:15
  Like you can take a little
• 1:05:16
  bit more and still be
• 1:05:18
  active in your day and do other things.
• 1:05:21
  You can play other sports
• 1:05:22
  that will keep you active, right?
• 1:05:25
  Yeah.
• 1:05:28
  Larry Young,
• 1:05:29
  this is another way to put it.
• 1:05:30
  Gabby is crushing it lately.
• 1:05:32
  And she's had some
• 1:05:33
  pressure-free years where
• 1:05:35
  she's kind of lived in the
• 1:05:37
  shadows of Laura.
• 1:05:38
  And that's not a dig on Gabby.
• 1:05:43
  But she hasn't had the
• 1:05:44
  pressure Laura has had.
• 1:05:46
  Right.
• 1:05:47
  And,
• 1:05:48
  and now she's had a natural climb up
• 1:05:51
  the leaderboard.
• 1:05:55
  And here, like with Kenneth is saying,
• 1:05:57
  like, well,
• 1:05:58
  football and other pro sports
• 1:05:59
  have seasons that are way
• 1:06:00
  more event game heavy than CrossFit.
• 1:06:03
  And it's like for us,
• 1:06:03
  there's way more
• 1:06:04
  opportunities to make money
• 1:06:07
  in the offseason than there
• 1:06:08
  is during the season.
• 1:06:09
  Like the only time that we
• 1:06:10
  can make money really in
• 1:06:11
  the season is at the CrossFit Games.
• 1:06:13
  And to make really money is
• 1:06:15
  the top end of the CrossFit Games,
• 1:06:17
  to be honest.
• 1:06:18
  Um, and then through sponsorships,
• 1:06:20
  but like in the off season,
• 1:06:21
  people want to compete even
• 1:06:22
  more there to get their
• 1:06:24
  name out there for
• 1:06:25
  sponsorships because of
• 1:06:26
  like their personal brand.
• 1:06:27
  Cause if they're not competing,
• 1:06:28
  then sponsors don't want to, uh,
• 1:06:31
  support them because they
• 1:06:32
  only want to like,
• 1:06:33
  they want athletes that are, you know,
• 1:06:36
  on broadcast are doing well
• 1:06:37
  or doing things.
• 1:06:38
  So I feel like a lot of
• 1:06:39
  athletes feel the pressure
• 1:06:40
  to do things all year round
• 1:06:41
  in CrossFit for sponsorships mainly.
• 1:06:44
  Yeah.
• 1:06:46
  Well,
• 1:06:46
  and I think that's where reps at head
• 1:06:47
  and things like that come more into play.
• 1:06:51
  There's enough gaps in the
• 1:06:52
  season where you could do a
• 1:06:53
  one event match that's
• 1:06:55
  televised for the prize
• 1:06:58
  money that reps ahead is given.
• 1:07:00
  Heck yeah.
• 1:07:00
  Like athletes could do that
• 1:07:02
  and it won't throw your
• 1:07:02
  training off that much.
• 1:07:04
  It's one workout.
• 1:07:08
  Like if you put that in the
• 1:07:09
  season periodically in the
• 1:07:11
  gaps between like quarters
• 1:07:12
  and semis and semis in the games,
• 1:07:15
  it's not going to ruin
• 1:07:15
  people for the games or for semis.
• 1:07:20
  And it's a way to compete
• 1:07:21
  and give people the offseason.
• 1:07:25
  But I know like Rogue is fun
• 1:07:27
  and everybody wants to go
• 1:07:28
  to Rogue and we don't want
• 1:07:29
  to get rid of Rogue, right?
• 1:07:31
  So that's where it kind of sucks.
• 1:07:34
  I don't know.
• 1:07:36
  I think we're at kind of a
• 1:07:37
  tipping point where either
• 1:07:38
  we've got to figure out a
• 1:07:39
  better season for these
• 1:07:41
  athletes or we're not going
• 1:07:42
  to have... We're not going
• 1:07:44
  to have... We're going to
• 1:07:48
  have what we're having now
• 1:07:48
  where people are
• 1:07:49
  withdrawing and people are
• 1:07:50
  taking years off and...
• 1:07:53
  just because they have to.
• 1:07:54
  And we've got to figure out
• 1:07:56
  a better way to either
• 1:07:58
  incorporate some of those
• 1:07:59
  fun things into a shortened season,
• 1:08:02
  but having an eleven-month
• 1:08:03
  season is not sustainable for athletes.
• 1:08:11
  Going back to Roman that you talked about,
• 1:08:14
  will he even be able to
• 1:08:15
  compete next year?
• 1:08:16
  I don't know the extent of
• 1:08:18
  his injury and how much
• 1:08:22
  like what the recovery time
• 1:08:23
  will be for that.
• 1:08:24
  Uh,
• 1:08:24
  they haven't announced anything on
• 1:08:26
  dates of next year,
• 1:08:28
  which I hope that they
• 1:08:29
  announced something soon.
• 1:08:31
  Cause I think it's important
• 1:08:33
  for athletes to know like
• 1:08:34
  what is going on next year.
• 1:08:37
  And at what point are we
• 1:08:38
  supposed to peak and, um,
• 1:08:42
  take weekends off and, you know,
• 1:08:44
  start planning the following year.
• 1:08:46
  Like,
• 1:08:47
  do you know what time they usually
• 1:08:48
  put out the rule book?
• 1:08:50
  It's been December.
• 1:08:53
  December.
• 1:08:54
  But even the dates of the
• 1:08:55
  open and stuff is normally
• 1:08:57
  December or just like the rule book?
• 1:08:58
  I think last year was the
• 1:08:59
  earliest they've ever done it.
• 1:09:01
  And it was either late October,
• 1:09:02
  early November.
• 1:09:05
  But I don't think we're
• 1:09:05
  getting it until that third
• 1:09:07
  party investigation is done.
• 1:09:10
  I thought that was supposed to be done.
• 1:09:12
  Don't look at me.
• 1:09:15
  John Young said October seventh.
• 1:09:16
  Right.
• 1:09:17
  Right.
• 1:09:18
  John Young said October seven.
• 1:09:20
  It's all his fault.
• 1:09:21
  I mean, maybe they found other things.
• 1:09:23
  I don't know.
• 1:09:23
  There's more things.
• 1:09:24
  I have no idea, but I hope.
• 1:09:28
  I know you guys,
• 1:09:29
  this probably isn't what
• 1:09:29
  we're going to talk,
• 1:09:30
  but did you see that two
• 1:09:31
  triathletes died in
• 1:09:32
  competition this weekend?
• 1:09:33
  I did see that.
• 1:09:39
  Very similar.
• 1:09:39
  Very similar.
• 1:09:40
  Very similar explanation.
• 1:09:41
  But very same complaints
• 1:09:43
  from the athletes.
• 1:09:43
  Yep.
• 1:09:44
  But they were talking about
• 1:09:46
  the chest compression that they couldn't.
• 1:09:48
  So they at least took the
• 1:09:51
  body out of the water right away.
• 1:09:53
  I'm not sure.
• 1:09:54
  Well, in one of the cases,
• 1:09:55
  the kayaker turned away
• 1:09:56
  from the person in distress.
• 1:09:59
  according to the athletes.
• 1:10:00
  Now there's, again, this is, it, it,
• 1:10:03
  it was so eerily familiar
• 1:10:05
  to everything being said at
• 1:10:06
  the CrossFit games.
• 1:10:07
  It sounded so much.
• 1:10:09
  It just, yeah, it brought PTSD for me.
• 1:10:13
  Me too.
• 1:10:14
  I watched the one interview.
• 1:10:16
  Like I clicked on the story
• 1:10:17
  that Halpin had shared and I was like,
• 1:10:20
  wow,
• 1:10:20
  this seems so much like what we just
• 1:10:23
  went through as a community and felt like
• 1:10:26
  The one thing it shows you
• 1:10:27
  is this isn't an isolated
• 1:10:29
  incident for CrossFit.
• 1:10:30
  No.
• 1:10:31
  This happens in other sports too.
• 1:10:34
  And we all got to get our shit together.
• 1:10:36
  Like this can't keep happening,
• 1:10:38
  whether it's triathlons or
• 1:10:40
  the CrossFit games.
• 1:10:43
  Yeah.
• 1:10:43
  Body recovery has to be faster.
• 1:10:45
  Absolutely.
• 1:10:47
  And hopefully it's not a dead body.
• 1:10:50
  Hopefully it's a live body
• 1:10:51
  that we can then at least
• 1:10:53
  attempt a saving maneuver.
• 1:10:55
  Yeah.
• 1:10:59
  There you go.
• 1:11:00
  Dense update said last year
• 1:11:01
  they announced the season
• 1:11:02
  on November eighth.
• 1:11:04
  Thank you.
• 1:11:05
  Well, hopefully we get something soon.
• 1:11:10
  Just as an idea,
• 1:11:11
  like would be nice just to
• 1:11:14
  announce the open.
• 1:11:15
  Yeah, that just that is that's all I want.
• 1:11:18
  Extremely helpful.
• 1:11:19
  Yeah.
• 1:11:22
  Yeah.
• 1:11:27
  Because I need to plan spring break.
• 1:11:30
  If anyone has
• 1:11:30
  recommendations on Cancun hotels,
• 1:11:34
  hit me up.
• 1:11:34
  I need an all-inclusive
• 1:11:35
  hotel for... Only if I can
• 1:11:38
  hide in your suitcase.
• 1:11:42
  Yeah,
• 1:11:42
  we're trying to do Lucas' senior
• 1:11:44
  spring break trip with him
• 1:11:45
  and his buddy and find an
• 1:11:47
  all-inclusive hotel.
• 1:11:49
  Unfortunately,
• 1:11:49
  Lucas will be a few weeks shy of eighteen,
• 1:11:54
  so we can't go to one of the
• 1:11:57
  Adult only resorts.
• 1:11:59
  Um, it'll have to be like family friendly.
• 1:12:01
  So hit me up with some ideas.
• 1:12:05
  Okay.
• 1:12:08
  If I see him in the comments,
• 1:12:09
  I'll shoot him over to you.
• 1:12:10
  Awesome.
• 1:12:13
  Uh, Kenneth says that the, uh,
• 1:12:16
  the re the rule book comes
• 1:12:17
  out when the twenty three
• 1:12:18
  games doc moves comes out.
• 1:12:19
  Great.
• 1:12:21
  Uh,
• 1:12:23

• 1:12:25
  games doc in twenty three.
• 1:12:31
  Oh man.
• 1:12:32
  So funny.
• 1:12:32
  Yeah.
• 1:12:34
  Are you even going to watch
• 1:12:35
  that documentary?
• 1:12:36
  Like, I don't know.
• 1:12:38
  The,
• 1:12:39
  the year that,
• 1:12:39
  that Heber and Mars brought out the,
• 1:12:42
  the lost documentary at the
• 1:12:46
  which was a really cool year.
• 1:12:48
  Uh, like two,
• 1:12:51
  when they brought it out four
• 1:12:52
  years after the fact,
• 1:12:53
  when finally CrossFit were,
• 1:12:54
  let them have the tapes or the footage.
• 1:12:57
  Um,
• 1:12:58
  like it wasn't the same watching it
• 1:13:00
  four years later.
• 1:13:03
  It was fine.
• 1:13:04
  I mean,
• 1:13:05
  people watch CrossFit documentaries
• 1:13:06
  for the first time years later.
• 1:13:09
  I'm a fan of CrossFit that
• 1:13:10
  I'm still going to watch it.
• 1:13:13
  If it were me,
• 1:13:14
  I would just watch the all
• 1:13:15
  access to the Masters
• 1:13:16
  CrossFit games because it's
• 1:13:19
  pretty relevant and it just happened.
• 1:13:21
  And it's pretty on top of it.
• 1:13:23
  And it comes out tomorrow, twelve thirty.
• 1:13:30
  I'm not sending it to Tijuana.
• 1:13:33
  Well, I'm going to,
• 1:13:34
  so I need somewhere good restaurants,
• 1:13:38
  good bars.
• 1:13:39
  Yeah,
• 1:13:45
  I've never done the all-inclusive resort.
• 1:13:48
  No?
• 1:13:49
  No.
• 1:13:50
  I've been to Hard Rock, Riviera Maya,
• 1:13:53
  so don't recommend that one
• 1:13:54
  because I don't want to go back there.
• 1:13:56
  But
• 1:13:59
  always wanted to try it once
• 1:14:00
  but but I haven't I've had
• 1:14:02
  two beers all year I've
• 1:14:06
  really quit drinking like
• 1:14:08
  all together pretty much
• 1:14:10
  yeah do you feel better I
• 1:14:13
  do I do nice I had one beer
• 1:14:17
  in michigan with jamie
• 1:14:19
  and I had one beer when we
• 1:14:21
  went to the lake for
• 1:14:24
  vacation with our friends this summer,
• 1:14:27
  and that was it all year.
• 1:14:33
  And, yeah,
• 1:14:34
  I do think it's made a big
• 1:14:35
  difference in how I feel.
• 1:14:39
  And I don't even miss it.
• 1:14:40
  Yeah.
• 1:14:44
  I don't either.
• 1:14:45
  There are times where it's, like,
• 1:14:46
  really cold out and, like,
• 1:14:48
  Like a glass of bourbon sounds really good,
• 1:14:51
  but it's not like so overwhelming.
• 1:14:53
  I've got to go do something
• 1:14:55
  else or anything.
• 1:14:56
  I just put it out of my head.
• 1:15:00
  Kenneth says The White Lotus.
• 1:15:01
  Wrote it down.
• 1:15:02
  I'll look it up.
• 1:15:03
  I think that's a TV show.
• 1:15:06
  Oh.
• 1:15:07
  Where people get killed.
• 1:15:09
  Oh, great.
• 1:15:10
  Give me real hotels, guys.
• 1:15:13
  I don't know that for a fact.
• 1:15:14
  My wife watches it.
• 1:15:15
  Okay.
• 1:15:17
  I do not.
• 1:15:20
  And it can't be like crazy expensive.
• 1:15:21
  I'm not looking for total top end.
• 1:15:25
  I was correct.
• 1:15:26
  My bad.
• 1:15:26
  Just to show.
• 1:15:27
  Oh, geez.
• 1:15:27
  Oh, Pete.
• 1:15:28
  Come on, guys.
• 1:15:30
  Yeah.
• 1:15:30
  It's like everybody dies
• 1:15:32
  that goes to this white Lotus,
• 1:15:33
  except for like one or two people.
• 1:15:35
  All right.
• 1:15:35
  Crossing that one off.
• 1:15:38
  Yeah.
• 1:15:38
  I would cross it off quickly.
• 1:15:44
  Yeah.
• 1:15:46
  New fall season's out.
• 1:15:48
  And I've been so stoked
• 1:15:49
  because the Tulsa King came back,
• 1:15:51
  which is one of my favorite shows ever.
• 1:15:53
  And Shrinking with Harrison
• 1:15:55
  Ford came back on Apple TV.
• 1:15:58
  Both are just as good as
• 1:16:00
  they've always been.
• 1:16:02
  Tulsa King is Sylvester Stallone,
• 1:16:05
  a mob person who was in
• 1:16:06
  jail for fifty years,
• 1:16:07
  and they sent him to Tulsa.
• 1:16:10
  And he basically takes on everybody.
• 1:16:17
  When does Reacher come out?
• 1:16:18
  I thought I saw an alert on that.
• 1:16:20
  Well,
• 1:16:21
  and Twentieth Century Fox went bankrupt.
• 1:16:23
  So there was there was
• 1:16:25
  speculation that something had to happen.
• 1:16:27
  They did retain the rights
• 1:16:29
  and and they did.
• 1:16:32
  So Reacher three and Reacher
• 1:16:33
  four is being filmed now.
• 1:16:35
  Oh, geez.
• 1:16:36
  And they're looking at doing
• 1:16:37
  a spinoff with.
• 1:16:41
  The girl.
• 1:16:43
  Oh, one girl that's been in every season.
• 1:16:45
  Yeah.
• 1:16:46
  Yeah.
• 1:16:48
  So someone bought them now
• 1:16:49
  and they're good to go
• 1:16:52
  because it's like the
• 1:16:53
  biggest hit on Prime.
• 1:16:55
  Yeah.
• 1:17:01
  It's not coming out until... ...
• 1:17:08
  Well, we're almost to twenty twenty five.
• 1:17:10
  It's two months.
• 1:17:13
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:17:14
  Yeah.
• 1:17:14
  It's so good.
• 1:17:15
  It is so good.
• 1:17:16
  I laugh so stinking hard at that show.
• 1:17:21
  I have not heard of that.
• 1:17:27
  Andrew Sten says Disney bought Fox.
• 1:17:32
  Yeah, in the Deadpool Wolverine movie,
• 1:17:34
  they make fun of the
• 1:17:34
  twentieth century bankruptcy,
• 1:17:37
  Fox bankruptcy by like showing their.
• 1:17:41
  Their emblems like rotting
• 1:17:43
  away in different parts,
• 1:17:45
  it's pretty funny.
• 1:17:46
  And that's how that's why
• 1:17:52
  they were able to do
• 1:17:52
  Wolverine and Deadpool.
• 1:17:53
  No.
• 1:17:56
  I'm curious which trash
• 1:17:58
  reality TV can watches.
• 1:18:01
  Like he's a real housewives guy.
• 1:18:04
  Yeah.
• 1:18:04
  Like Bravo shows.
• 1:18:08
  It's gotta be.
• 1:18:10
  Love is blind.
• 1:18:12
  Like those.
• 1:18:12
  Oh, I like that.
• 1:18:16
  What's the, what's the one where they go?
• 1:18:20
  All the TLC stuff is awesome.
• 1:18:22
  Lex and I always watch below deck is good.
• 1:18:25
  All the ninety day fiance.
• 1:18:28
