1:04
jolly heads are back in the intro they
1:06

1:08

1:09
Trust me,
1:09
I'm not assertive enough to change that.
1:12
Yeah.
1:13
So they're still there.
1:18
This or the eight hundredth episode of The
1:20
Simpsons.
1:21
Wow.
1:24
Yeah.
1:24
Crazy.
1:25
I didn't know we were up against that.
1:29
Ken Walters, USA Hockey, USA Hockey,
1:32
USA Hockey, USA, USA.
1:37
My question is.
1:39
I just got wind of this maybe an
1:41
hour ago.
1:43
The Canadian curling team cheating?
1:45
I didn't hear it.
1:47
Because he tapped the stone with his
1:50
finger before it went down the...
1:52
Oh.
1:53
So, like,
1:53
he rolled it and then let it go.
1:56
And as he's letting it go,
1:57
his finger touches the stone.
1:59
And then the other team called him out
2:00
on it.
2:01
And he starts swearing at the other team,
2:04
like,
2:04
being defensive that he never touched the
2:06
stone.
2:06
And he's, like,
2:07
telling them to F off and stuff like
2:10
that.
2:10
And then all the replays,
2:12
you could see it.
2:14
So, it's funny.
2:16
Yeah.
2:16
I mean, instant replay or whatever.
2:20
Video replay won't lie.
2:21
And then...
2:22
Actually,
2:22
the following day or two days after when
2:24
the women's team played,
2:26
there was another incident with, again,
2:28
one of the female Canadian players that
2:30
also tapped the top of the stone,
2:32
and then they lost a stone in that
2:34
end, whatever it's called.
2:38
So the Canada controversy at the curling
2:42
Olympics.
2:43
Wow.
2:43
Who would have thunk it?
2:48
Just a little foot wedge.
2:50
For those golfers out there.
2:52
Yeah.
2:52
Kind of the same thing.
2:55
I understand those Canadians,
2:56
those darn Canadians got to keep an eye
2:59
on them.
3:05
Who are you and where are you from?
3:07
Mike Aruzioni, United States of America.
3:10
I don't know.
3:11
That's from the miracle.
3:12
Oh, that's from miracle.
3:15
All right.
3:17
We have a Fergie question,
3:18
but this week it's for Carolyn.
3:20
Would you rather do double DT in the
3:22
snow or rewatch USA versus Canada women's
3:26
hockey game?
3:28
Like rewatch the one where USA smoked
3:31
Canada?
3:31
I think from earlier this week.
3:34
That was boring.
3:35
Didn't like that game.
3:36
I'll do double DT.
3:37
There it is.
3:39
Double light DT.
3:42
Like regular DT.
3:43
Not the heavy DT.
3:46
He did not say heavy DT.
3:47
He just said double.
3:48
I'll do double DT.
3:50
That's a good one.
3:53
There it is.
3:55
Yes, so big weekend.
3:56
It was Valentine's weekend.
3:57

Aaron went and picked up like a whole
4:07
tenderloin and cut it up.

4:11
future meals.

5:12
bill and at the theater toronto's like big
5:15
time theater heavy like everybody says if
5:18
you can't get to new york toronto is
5:19
the next best thing yeah lex and i
5:21
have been going to like that's like our
5:23
thing now this these last years is finding
5:26
a show to go to um whenever like
5:30
we're here and there's a good show that's
5:31
around
5:33
Tickets were so expensive between like all
5:37
weekend,
5:37
like that one and Juliet was playing.
5:39
And because of the Valentine's weekend,
5:42
it was like the tickets were like over,
5:45
oh, one thousand to two thousand, like.
5:48
And then we bought like last minute,
5:50
like the price like went down.
5:52
We saw someone like have a ticket
5:54
available or a couple of tickets available
5:56
for much, much, much, much,
5:57
much cheaper than that.
5:58
So we lucked out.
6:01
i understand you are correct the power
6:03
station was led by robert palmer um what
6:10
else there were some of us i saw
6:11
okay but yeah the shows in toronto have
6:12
been great yeah we like going to them
6:16
uh ken walters fergie in your absence last
6:18
week i asked the question for you and
6:19
he did he did it was a good
6:22
question it was good jamie struggled
6:29
My mom came to town.
6:30
This is the first time she's been able
6:31
to travel since everything went down with
6:34
the stroke last year.
6:36
And she was able to drive over herself,
6:39
which was awesome.
6:40
And we got to spend the weekend with
6:42
her.
6:44
And my family plays a lot of board
6:45
games,
6:45
so that's what we did a ton of.
6:47
But then she went to see my nephew
6:49
on Saturday, Julie and I.
6:51
Our favorite restaurant or one of our
6:53
favorite restaurants in Columbus is
6:54
Schmidt's Sausage House,
6:56
which is a very German, authentic place.
7:01
They have a food truck that came up
7:03
by our house.
7:05
So we ordered from the food truck,
7:07
got the German potato salad,
7:09
got the sweet cabbage,
7:11
all that kind of stuff.
7:13
just really enjoyed lunch on Saturday
7:16
together after switching banks because of
7:20
identity thefts and stuff like that that
7:21
have happened in our family.
7:23
We finally just said,
7:24
we're done with this bank we're with.
7:27
And we went and we talked to someone
7:28
at this new bank about how to prevent
7:32
that from happening.
7:33
What steps can we put in place at
7:37
this new bank that will prevent us?
7:39
And they gave us like a list of
7:40
things.
7:41
that we could do that would make our
7:43
accounts way more secure.
7:45
But it's tough when two people are working
7:48
to get to a bank when it's open
7:50
is very, very hard.
7:53
And so finally we got in Saturday morning.
7:56
But yeah.
7:56
Yeah, that's annoying.
8:00
But she made it back to Pennsylvania
8:02
today.
8:03
Again, made the trip over by herself,
8:05
made it back by herself.
8:06
It's a four-hour drive, and she did great.
8:13
So, Teresa's asking what bank.
8:16
I will tell you the old bank was
8:17
PNC.
8:18
I agree.
8:20
If you ever have a problem,
8:22
it is such a web of automation to
8:24
get to talk to anybody.
8:26
And I've had to fight them for things
8:28
for four times within the last calendar
8:30
year.
8:32
And every time it's no less than an
8:34
hour, hour and a half on the phone.
8:37
And at this point,
8:39
I'm going to wait and say, well,
8:40
my new bank is through because I'm trying
8:43
to protect my identity.
8:46
But it's not PNC.
8:47
I will tell you that.
8:52
Ken Walter says,
8:52
just hide it in the mattress like great
8:54
grandma did after the recession.
8:56
I'm about to that point.
8:57
I'm about to just going all cash.
9:00
And if it wasn't that you couldn't get
9:03
like a hotel room or a rental car,
9:07
I'm about to go all cash on everything.
9:10
Yeah.
9:11
A lot of places like don't even take
9:12
cash anymore.
9:13
I know.
9:14
Yep.
9:18
But like, like it's tax time, right?
9:21
The amount of steps we have to go
9:22
through to prove that it is me is
9:24
crazy.
9:27
It's just crazy because my identity was
9:29
stolen.
9:30
They got,
9:31
they tried to file taxes under my name.
9:33
Oh my gosh.
9:34
I didn't know you were dealing with that.
9:36
Yeah.
9:36
That was like two years ago and it
9:38
will fall out from that.
9:40
Oh my gosh.
9:42
Did they get your social security number
9:44
somehow?
9:44
Yeah.
9:47
I don't know what they got a lot.
9:50
um uh fergie says my german name is
9:57
air burpee meister mr burpee i think is
10:03
how that translates to english who knew uh
10:08
my fitness does not know that um it
10:11
did uh but sure
10:14
Yeah.
10:15
I mean,
10:15
Schweitzer is pretty German as it gets.
10:19
So, yeah.
10:24
Kenneth says, wow, that's hardcore.
10:25
Yeah, they got me good, man.
10:27
Yeah, that sounds crazy.
10:31
And we've been dealing with it ever since.
10:33
And everything that PNC promised,
10:35
they fell through on.
10:36
So we are just trying to get that
10:40
all rectified again.
10:45
Teresa says her identity got stolen and
10:47
her bank, U.S.
10:48
Bank, saved her life.
10:51
I think we have U.S.
10:52
Bank,
10:53
but it's only like a branch or two
10:56
around here.
10:56
I could be wrong.
10:59
You don't really notice other banks
11:01
because you just go to your own.
11:03
Yeah.
11:06
We've got a lot of like fifth thirds
11:08
around us.
11:09
Yeah, we have fifth third here.
11:12
We have a couple local ones.
11:15
Chase is, of course,
11:16
their headquarters is right across the
11:18
street from me.
11:18
Yeah.
11:23
All right.
11:25
So we talked curling.
11:27
We talked Valentine's Day.
11:29
Any other major sports?
11:30
It's Julie and I.
11:32
I do want to say this.
11:33
Julie and I just had a fun.
11:35
You know,
11:36
the ESPN now has a channel called the
11:38
Yocho.
11:39
They put like the goofy stuff.
11:40
And if you ever watch the movie Dodgeball,
11:43
In the movie,
11:44
they air the dodgeball match on the Ocho,
11:47
ESPN eight.
11:48
Yeah.
11:49
So they're airing a full ESPN channel now
11:52
called the Ocho.
11:54
We just jumped on it to see what
11:55
they were showing.
11:57
And they had a sport today called slippery
11:59
stairs.
12:02
What?
12:02
It literally was just people trying to go
12:04
up slippery stairs while people at the top
12:07
were shooting like soap,
12:08
sud water down the stairs and throwing
12:11
balls at them.
12:15
And then on after that was,
12:19
what was it called?
12:20
Like aggressive archery championships.
12:24
And I tuned it in.
12:25
It was dodgeball with bow and arrows.
12:27
Oh, no.
12:28
Like you're shooting at each other with
12:31
bow and arrow.
12:32
And this, like what?
12:35
And the only difference was you're never
12:38
out on this sport.
12:40
You just,
12:40
you get points for every time you hit
12:42
an opponent.
12:44
Is it like Nerf bow and arrows?
12:46
They kept saying it was like it hurt.
12:49
It looked like a big ball on the
12:51
end.
12:51
Okay.
12:53
So it wasn't like a pointy arrow that
12:55
would like stab somebody.
12:56
Okay.
12:56
It was like a big ball on the
12:58
end.
12:59
But every time you hit somebody,
13:00
your tally went up on the bottom of
13:02
the screen.
13:02
Okay.
13:05
And they were like, you know,
13:07
you really need a lot of cardio to
13:09
play this sport.
13:09
And I'm just thinking,
13:11
nobody was jumping out of the way very
13:12
well.
13:13
So these guys' cardio were not awesome.
13:20
Andrew said,
13:21
Stan said he saw a pillow fighting on
13:24
there once.
13:28
I didn't tune in long, I will admit.
13:30
I just wanted to see what goofy sport
13:32
was on.
13:33
And it made me laugh today.
13:37
Um,
13:37
reminds me of lawn charts as a kid.
13:39
Yeah.
13:40
We had the dangerous ones though, Fergie.
13:42
I know you're,
13:42
you're an older gentleman like myself and
13:45
we had the pointy ones that stuck deep
13:47
into the ground and it was very,
13:49
very dangerous, which are now not, uh,
13:55
lubed up slippery stairs and big balls on
13:57
the end.
13:57
Scott, this is a family show.
13:59
Yeah.
13:59
It's sometimes, uh,
14:09
Teresa said,
14:09
can anyone explain Hiller's post on Dave
14:11
being washed?
14:11
I'm so confused.
14:13
And Jenny made it worse.
14:15
It's actually a video by Mason startup
14:18
startup.
14:19
Yep.
14:19
He is just housing his videos now on
14:21
the Hiller channel.
14:22
Yep.
14:23
So it's not Hiller saying it.
14:25
It's Mason startup saying it.
14:29
And there's a full video on YouTube.
14:31
And I think what it is,
14:32
is it's an analysis of looking at the
14:35
programming of the CrossFit seasons and
14:37
what the base of CrossFit was and how
14:40
a lot of those elements have been
14:43
minimized over the years.
14:45
Yeah.
14:46
It's the same guy who did there's too
14:47
many machines.
14:48
Yeah.
14:49
And it basically was that same video.
14:51
It just, you know,
14:52
was talking about squats early days and
14:54
how this one was more machine heavy.
14:56
And yeah, it was.
15:00
I've agreed though.
15:01
I've, I've said with Lex,
15:03
like last few years that there hasn't been
15:05
much leg dominant workouts.
15:07
And every time it's leg dominant,
15:09
it's a machine echo bike kind of burning
15:11
the legs or it's a power output dominant
15:15
or a sled or something.
15:16
And it's not actually squatting volume,
15:19
leg endurance type events.
15:22
Um,
15:23
like there was one year where we barely
15:24
saw like any squatting,
15:25
like throughout the open quarters, um,
15:29
like etc so i agreed with that point
15:32
and even like at the games when he
15:34
was saying like some of the squatting like
15:36
it wasn't the main part of the events
15:38
and it's true like the main part was
15:39
the rope climb it was the pegboard the
15:43
squat cleans were irrelevant for every
15:45
athlete it wasn't that heavy at all it's
15:49
like i agreed with some of the points
15:51
there for sure
15:54
Yeah, and Teresa said Hiller posted it.
15:55
Well,
15:55
he's going to promote things on his
15:57
channel.
15:58
So he used his Instagram to post or
16:01
to promote Mason's video.
16:04
But I think the lady summed it up
16:06
very, very well.
16:07
Jeremy says it was clickbait.
16:10
Yeah, Dave being washed, I think,
16:11
is a clickbait piece.
16:12
There are relevant topics in the video,
16:16
for sure.
16:20
Jeremy also says Dave has his hands tied
16:22
by the powers that be.
16:25
I don't know how much they dip into
16:26
programming.
16:28
I think he has his hands tied by
16:30
sponsors wanting to use certain equipment
16:33
at times.
16:34
But I just think it gets easy to
16:38
program machines to get a cardio effect.
16:41
And now they're just leaning into it too
16:42
much.
16:43
Yep.
16:48
um sounds like all of mason's videos will
16:51
be there now yeah from what i heard
16:54
all of the videos will be housed on
16:55
hiller's channel there will be a longer
16:58
like raw uncut version on mason's channel
17:02
if you want to see more of it
17:05
interesting um so how that how did that
17:11
collaboration come about
17:16
I don't know.
17:16
Does Mason live in like the Chicago area?
17:19
I don't know.
17:21
I don't know much about Mason.
17:22
Yeah.
17:22
I don't either.
17:23
He pops up like every couple of months
17:25
with a video and,
17:26
and then he disappears for a while.
17:27
So I don't, I don't really know.
17:32
Did you watch the total bar clean workout
17:38
that Hiller and him did together and they
17:40
put it with Bryson and Taylor doing it?
17:43
No, you didn't see that.
17:45
yeah he basically so mason was obviously
17:48
there um and like they worked out in
17:50
the garage so they did this workout i
17:53
don't i can't remember what one it was
17:55
judy says he lives in indiana so that
17:57
could be close okay close um yeah so
18:00
they did that workout and then they fought
18:01
like bryson and tyler and taylor had done
18:04
it so they pulled his and like you
18:06
know put it in the screen and watched
18:08
it and mason did it great yeah again
18:13
i just don't know much about him
18:16
He moves well.
18:17
He's very articulate and he researches
18:20
very well what he talks about.
18:23
And he has like video proof to back
18:24
up everything he says.
18:28
If I'm a bigger channel and I'm looking
18:30
to expand my reach,
18:33
it's a good partnership.
18:34
Yeah.
18:38
So...
18:40
This weekend,
18:40
Fittest of the Coast went on this weekend.
18:44
Yeah.
18:46
A lot of people were down there.
18:48
Not a lot of the like elite,
18:50
elite athletes, but it was,
18:51
there were so many divisions.
18:53
Where is it located?
18:55
Charleston, South Carolina.
18:56
Yeah, South Carolina.
18:59
Um,
19:00
it looked like a lot of people did
19:01
both individual and teams.
19:03
It allowed some to do that depending on
19:05
the schedule.
19:06
Yeah.
19:07
Um, yep.
19:08
It's doable.
19:09
I mean,
19:09
this is the one I went to last
19:10
year with Haley.
19:12
And I didn't understand how it was set
19:14
up.
19:15
If I would have gone again,
19:16
I would have done both.
19:17
Cause yeah,
19:18
individuals is Friday to the first half of
19:21
Saturday.
19:22
They end at like noon one or whatever,
19:24
and then team starts and that's the second
19:27
half of Saturday and then Sunday.
19:29
So a lot of people do both.
19:31
I mean, you might as well.
19:33
You're only getting like five,
19:34
four or five.
19:34
You got four workouts on team and five
19:36
workouts on individual.
19:40
Um, yeah,
19:40
it didn't look like many workouts at all.
19:43
A lot of our,
19:43
a lot of our friends, uh,
19:45
Corey was down there last minute
19:47
replacement on a team.
19:49
His team took fourteenth in thirty five
19:53
plus coed.
19:56
Um,
19:57
but they only got to do four workouts.
19:59
I mean, that's yeah,
20:00
that's a stiff bill for four workouts.
20:02
Yeah.
20:04
Yeah.
20:04
Um,
20:06
Jamie put a bunch in the chat.
20:08
There's the men pros.
20:11
Brandon Smith won.
20:13
Steph Stovall took second.
20:15
Zach Levy took third.
20:17
On the women's side,
20:18
Bryn Carrick took first.
20:20
Jenna Michelotti.
20:22

20:24

20:28
um and then just friends of the show

20:50
so I'll be curious how she does this
20:53
year.
20:53
Yeah.
20:53
She was in the pro division last year.
20:56
She's like a swim ex swimmer,
20:58
collegiate swimmer.
21:00
I am not.
21:01
Sesto vol is he mayhem last I checked.
21:04
He was.
21:05
Yes.
21:06
Yeah.
21:06
He's still staying me him.
21:07
It was a mayhem team.
21:09
Well, yeah, I have that written later.
21:12
Okay.
21:14
We had Jason Grubb in the fifty fifty
21:15
four girls, thirteen to fifteen.
21:19
Leah Berger,
21:20
who is a daughter of Rudy Berger.
21:23
They were going down to cheer on their
21:24
dad.
21:24
So both kids entered the competition as
21:27
well.
21:28
She took third or fourth.
21:30
Her brother took fifth.
21:32
Mason.
21:37
Pro teams, Seth went with Wes Peters.
21:40
Zach Gibbons, last-minute replacement,
21:42

21:44
Not bad last-minute replacement.
21:47
Quentin McQueen and Jackson Drohan.
21:50
Pro women,
21:50
Katie Cunningham and Mary Dochen.
21:54
Chelsea Espy and Jenna Micheletti.
21:58
Haley Rolfe and Emily Meyer.
22:00
Good job, Haley.
22:02
then pro co-ed daniel sterling and reese
22:04
littlewood travis wolf and lexi sure yeah
22:11
there you go uh jordan lund london and
22:15
bryn carrick
22:18
Your very own co-owner and coach.
22:21
Ronica was there with her, with Jackie.
22:22
Yep.
22:23
In thirty five plus and co-ed.
22:28
We already talked about Corey.
22:30
So, yeah, lots of people there.
22:31
There was also Jen Dieter,
22:34
who's been on the show a few times.
22:36
She won her division.
22:37
Second.
22:38
Was the second.
22:39
Yeah.
22:40
OK.
22:41
Maybe she won team.
22:42
She was on a team.
22:43
So, yeah.
22:49
Um, Jeremy's asking where Taylor,
22:51
the cheater finished.
22:53
I don't know.
22:54
There's so many divisions,
22:55
not knowing exactly what division he was
22:59
in.
22:59
It's hard to find.
23:00
I'm sure he was in the pro co-ed.
23:02
Um, but I don't be on the leaderboard.
23:07
Right there.
23:08
They didn't get to play.
23:09
So I don't know where they were adhering
23:12
to.
23:14
They were adhering to, uh,
23:16
CrossFit sanctions.
23:19
And that's where the drama came from the
23:21
weekend.
23:22
It's been touched on a lot.
23:25
Taylor jumped in because his athlete's
23:29
partner backed out last minute.
23:31
Taylor jumped in so they could compete.
23:34
There was a couple yelling cheater at him
23:37
while he was on the floor.
23:39
Even though he'd already got it cleared
23:41
with the event organizer,
23:43
it was they were just going to participate
23:45
and not appear on the leaderboard.
23:47
And they were fine with that.
23:49
But it ended up that Brian Clapp and
23:53
Steph Wall were yelling cheater from the
23:55
stands.
23:56
It ended up being a thing.
24:00
She did win cross fat.
24:01
She won her forty five to forty nine
24:03
bracket.
24:04
Funny.
24:06
Someone who cheated calling someone else a
24:08
cheater like the hypocrisy there.
24:12
I just can't even imagine.
24:14
Why?
24:14
Why do you feel the need to come
24:16
out and shout that?
24:20
I think that's it.
24:20
Like,
24:23
I think that that is the part that
24:25
is hard to understand is you just came
24:27
off of a drug suspension and you're the
24:29
one being the one yelling it.
24:32
Well,
24:33
if he has said stuff about her over
24:35
the years that she can't compete and he's
24:37
there competing,
24:38
I think that it's the same thing.
24:43
If she's doing competitions over the years
24:45
that are not, let's say,
24:46
CrossFit sanctioned and they have said
24:48
stuff about her.
24:51
I don't know that he has.
24:52
I don't think he has.
24:54
I know I have.
24:57
And to me,
24:58
the difference was that Taylor...
25:00
went to the event organizer and was
25:02
removed from the leaderboard and none of
25:04
his scores counted against anybody.
25:06
That's a big difference, in my opinion,
25:09
to what I saw Steph do at Legends
25:11
when I was there a couple years ago
25:13
and she was in the middle of her
25:14
suspension.
25:16
I was critical of that.
25:19
I don't know what Taylor was.
25:20
I don't...
25:22
i didn't follow him i don't follow him
25:23
that closely to know everything that he
25:25
says about anybody um but anyway that was
25:30
the drama from the weekend i doubt he
25:32
even like really knows who she is other
25:35
than commenting on the brian friend
25:37
situation like as a competitor i doubt
25:40
he's watching her compete and commenting
25:42
on that over the last four years
25:46
so yeah i don't know i i can't
25:48
speak to that i know how i feel
25:51
about it i made my my opinion very
25:54
clear when i saw it happen live at
25:56
legends a couple years ago yeah um but
26:00
their rules were that if they're not they
26:02
don't follow the sanctions so what are you
26:04
going to do about that i mean i
26:06
that's their rules and she followed them i
26:08
guess well so was taylor so
26:14
Yeah, I didn't have a problem with Taylor,
26:15
though.
26:16
I'm saying what I had a problem with
26:17
was... Yeah,
26:18
but she did whatever she could do.
26:20
She's going to do whatever she can do.
26:26
So it's just crazy to me to call
26:27
someone else out.
26:29
So anyway,
26:31
that was the drama from the weekend.
26:34
Let's get into some positive stuff.
26:37
And that is the open numbers keep rising.
26:45
And this is the best place I can
26:48
find it.
26:48
Mike Halpin reports it daily where we are.
26:52
Eleven days from the start of the open,
26:54
we're at one hundred and sixteen thousand
26:56
six hundred and forty eight.
26:57
So that was earlier today.
27:00
That's as of one fifty p.m.
27:01
Eastern time today.
27:04
One sixteen six forty eight.
27:06
Last year,
27:06
we were only at eighty nine thousand seven
27:08
hundred and fifty seven.
27:10
So a nice jump over that.
27:14
I did notice one thing like yesterday.
27:19
He put a prediction.
27:20
Right.
27:21
Yesterday,
27:22
there was a prediction that they were
27:23
looking at two hundred and ninety
27:24
thousand.
27:25
Sorry,
27:25
this I need to pause this so you
27:29
can see it.
27:30
Yesterday,
27:30
the prediction was by chat GPT was we
27:34
were going to hit two hundred and ninety
27:35
thousand this year.
27:37
There today was a slow day,
27:39
so it actually fell to between two fifty
27:42
and two eighty five.
27:45
Okay.
27:48
We're basically just a little underneath
27:50
twenty twenty two.
27:51
Right.
27:52
Is what.
27:52
Correct.
27:54
Yesterday that went into more detail.
27:56
But these are stories I should have like
27:58
screenshotted it.
28:02
Yeah,
28:02
we were we're like less than five thousand
28:06
under yesterday of the projection for
28:08
twenty twenty two.
28:11
which is still significantly above last
28:13
year.
28:14
So the prize pool theoretically should
28:17
move up this year in all divisions.
28:21
Yeah.
28:21
He projects the prize pool on the previous
28:23
slide.
28:25
Let me see if I can pause that.
28:26
Um, I think it's on this one.
28:33
There's one of these slides.
28:34
It's it tells, uh, maybe it's,
28:43
The prize pool is going to be over
28:44
a million, I think is what it showed.
28:46
Yeah, I can't.
28:48
I saw it and now I can't find
28:50
it.
28:52
And maybe it was on yesterday's.
28:54
Maybe it's here.
28:56
Oh, there it is.
28:57
Oh, there it is.
28:58
One,
28:58
the prize pool right now predicted to be.
29:02
These stories are so hard to.
29:09
I got to pause it just right.
29:11
Come on.
29:13
Come on.
29:16
It'd be nice if you made these as
29:17
a post.
29:18
I know.
29:24
It's back further on this.
29:25
Dang it.
29:26
I don't know.
29:26
It's okay.
29:30
We'll try this one more time.
29:35
There it is.
29:38
Okay, there it is.
29:40
So this is the price pool funding total,
29:43
which is one point one million.
29:52
So that's that's not bad.
29:54
And we're doing well.
29:56
Yeah, hopefully it doesn't level off.
29:59
I mean, I'm optimistic.
30:01
It's always more towards the end.
30:03
You get a spike at the start and
30:05
a spike at the end.
30:06
And then the middle is a little slow.
30:09
Yeah, Eric Macias,
30:13
will it level off early signups or true
30:15
increase?
30:16
I hope it's a true increase.
30:18
Yeah.
30:20
But I do think it'll spike.
30:22
Every other year says spiked from here.
30:25
as you get closer to the open.
30:27
So hopefully it'll be the same.
30:29
And if that first workout can be,
30:31
you know, fun and exciting,
30:32
and that's also a draw too.
30:35
Yes.
30:36
People wait to see what that first workout
30:37
is.
30:38
And you know, if it's, it's, it's, it's,
30:38
it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,
30:39
it's, it's, it's, it's boring stuff.
30:42
People don't like that.
30:44
Right.
30:45
True.
30:46
Like something exciting,
30:47
multiple movements, accessible,
30:49
but also creative fun.
30:54
I think you'll see a nice spike.
30:59
So anyway, someone helps me with the math.
31:03
Just times the signups by ten, Scott,
31:05
for the prize pool.
31:06
I wish I would have read that about
31:09
five minutes ago.
31:09
Yeah, that makes sense.
31:16
Just like score submissions,
31:17
everybody waits until the last minute.
31:19
Well,
31:20
we are giving away one open registration.
31:22
I do have some little pieces of paper
31:25
down here with everybody's name who said
31:27
I'm in in the comments section.
31:30
Oh, you wrote them on physical paper?
31:32
I did.
31:32
Oh, geez.
31:34
So I am pulling a name right now.
31:38
Here's my piece of paper.
31:40
All right.
31:42
And the winner is...
31:46
Craig Zelizer, six five Oh nine.
31:52
Don't know who that is.
31:53
Craig Zelizer, six five Oh nine.
31:56
Reach out to me.
31:58
I will give you a code that you'll
32:00
be able to enter and that will pay
32:01
for your open registration.
32:04
Good job, Craig.
32:07
Thanks for commenting.
32:12
Um,
32:17
Oh, Craig.
32:17
Yeah.
32:18
Thanks, Mark.
32:21
That's me.
32:25
The identity has been revealed.
32:27
That is Craig Zelizer.
32:32
After all these years, we wondered.
32:36
Craig Zelizer,
32:37
who knows about the history of CrossFit.
32:39
That's all it took was a twenty dollar
32:41
open registration.
32:42
Yeah.
32:44
And he's now exposed.
32:48
All right.
32:50
So let's play another game.
32:55
Open pen, pencil, pen, or Sharpie.
33:00
The open number.
33:02
The open numbers tell a significant story
33:04
of CrossFit overall.
33:10
Yes.
33:11
Yeah.
33:11
I for sure.
33:12
At least Penn, probably even Sharpie.
33:14
Sharpie.
33:19
Yeah,
33:19
it's the general public opinion of the of
33:23
HQ of CrossFit in general, like,
33:27
Yeah, I'm a Sharpie on this.
33:29
I think when you look at the trajectory
33:31
of the Open in those teen years all
33:35
the way to eighteen, that was the highest.
33:37
It was two thousand eighteen.
33:39
Then a small drop off.
33:40
But again, if the media was, you know,
33:44
gone and they're not promoting the Open as
33:46
much,
33:46
it decreases and starts and then you have
33:50
COVID and everything.
33:50
And now, yeah,
33:52
I think it's exactly a representation of a
33:56
lot of stuff.
33:58
lots of sharpies on this sharpies uh ken
34:01
walters who refuses to play the game
34:04
correctly one hundred percent fergie again
34:09
old cranky man indelible ink and guess
34:13
who's in the house did you guys see
34:17
no craig zellizer oh
34:24
Thanks, I catch you regularly.
34:26
Yeah,
34:26
just shoot me a message on Instagram or
34:29
through YouTube and I'll get you the code,
34:31
Craig.
34:33
So congratulations.
34:35
Thanks for being here.
34:41
I understand Sharpie definitely is a
34:42
barometer for how CrossFit is doing.
34:46
It's the only one the public sees the
34:48
number for,
34:48
which is another excellent point.
34:54
So what else do we have to gauge
34:56
it?
34:57
Right.
34:59
Attendance.
35:02
You have the number of affiliates.
35:04
Number of affiliates, I think,
35:05
would be a big one.
35:06
Yeah.
35:06
We don't know that for sure.
35:08
We don't know.
35:08
It's always like a prediction.
35:10
Yep.
35:10
So, yeah.
35:11
Cool.
35:19
Well, that one was good.
35:21
They announced twenty six point to the
35:23
athletes that will appear.
35:26
We have Amy Kringle,
35:27
Lucy Campbell and Miriam Von Rohr.
35:30
We said in our internal chat text group
35:34
that hell of a lineup.
35:37
Yeah, it's good.
35:38
This is a great lineup.
35:39
I love this one.
35:41
So I ask you, pencil, pen or Sharpie.
35:45
This is the most competitive female open
35:48
announcement ever.
35:49
pencil.
35:51
Yeah.
35:51
So I was going to do some research
35:53
here.
35:53
Cause I was trying to think back.
35:55
What was,
35:55
wasn't there one with like Sam and Annie,
36:01
like a burpee, like all the champions.
36:05
It was rich Graham, Sam, Annie.
36:11
Was it year two?
36:12
I don't remember.
36:15
Camille was there.
36:16
Now, if you're saying just women,
36:18
only women on the floor,
36:20
No men on the floor.
36:24
That's where I. Maybe.
36:26
You may have a point here.
36:28
Like I'm trying to think.
36:30
I was meant to do some.
36:32
Have they done a. Yeah the daughters.
36:34
I can't remember if they did just.
36:37
Like to me so good.
36:39
They have to give her Matt.
36:40
Right.
36:41
That's why I said competitive.
36:44
Yeah.
36:44
Not best because to me might've been best,
36:48
but was she ever the most competitive with
36:51
somebody else?
36:52
Right.
36:54
Yeah.
36:54
All the daughters with Briggs.
36:57
Yeah.
36:57
That's the one I think I'm seeing in
36:59
my mind's eye.
37:00
It was,
37:01
I think it was just women on the
37:02
floor and I would say that would be
37:03
the one.
37:05
Yeah.
37:05
The, the hand.
37:07
Yeah.
37:08
But Mal kind of took that one pretty
37:11
easily.
37:12
Like Mal, Mal was so fit.
37:13
Like, yeah.
37:15
I think Danielle Reed did that workout too
37:22
after,
37:23
because she wasn't happy with her score
37:24
and did way better after.
37:26
Uh, Kenneth actually go Sharpie.
37:29
I'm going to say Penn.
37:33
Uh, Catherine and Sarah did one.
37:38
Yeah.
37:39
I don't think Emily and...
37:41
You had Lawson versus Laura on deadlift.
37:44
That wasn't close, really.
37:45
No, that was not close.
37:48
Jeremy comes in with a deep cut.
37:50
Tovar versus Pacelli.
37:52
I love that one.
37:55
I did, and it was super competitive,
37:57
but that is a deep cut.
37:59
I'm sorry, Jeremy.
37:59
That is just... Personally, love that one.
38:03
but really deep cut for this.
38:06
But I think it's going to be a
38:07
really good one.
38:08
And I think maybe years from now,
38:11
once those athletes,
38:12
because they're very young,
38:14
all three of them really are.
38:15
So, you know,
38:16
how many years ahead of them,
38:18
maybe it'll end up being a very,
38:22
like one of the best match-ups because of
38:24
where they'll end up being in the next,
38:27
you know, two to three years.
38:29
There was a Briggs-Camille one where it
38:31
was like a lot of gymnastics on the
38:34
bar where Camille could really hang with
38:37
Sam.
38:39
That was like, thirteen, fourteen.
38:43
Old school.
38:46
Yeah,
38:47
I'm very curious what the workout will be.
38:52
Cross fat in reference to Tovar Pacelli
38:54
would watch those two eat pain chips.
38:59
You'd think probably, I mean,
39:01
Miriam's got the leg up in open workouts,
39:04
but depending on the workout, man,
39:09
I could see,
39:10
I could see both Lucy and Amy having
39:12
a fair shot of taking it.
39:15
Has Amy had a very high placement in
39:17
any open workout?
39:19
Yeah.
39:22
But if you look,
39:22
I think we're on the top ten probably.
39:24
Okay.
39:26
Last year, I think Amy was fourteenth.
39:28
Okay.
39:29
um lucy was fourth right miriam was first
39:32
right i depending on the workout i feel
39:35
like lucy has a shot of winning it
39:37
but if it's you know if it's anything
39:41
like point one you're going with but if
39:44
point one stays point one and two stays
39:49
like the typical point twos then i might
39:51
go with lucy
39:54
Miriam is someone who redoes a lot of
39:56
the workouts too and really is very kind
40:00
of like Brent,
40:00
like looks at all the splits,
40:02
tries to really improve every aspect that
40:05
was a weakness.
40:07
Yeah.
40:08
It'll be interesting just finding out the
40:12
workout right there, doing it.
40:14
It's completely different than watching
40:15
other athletes, analyzing,
40:17
having your game plan.
40:18
There's a lot that comes into doing an
40:20
announcement and just having no
40:22
preparation.
40:22
It's not going to be one and done,
40:25
I'm assuming, for them.
40:32
Miriam is impressive, though.
40:35
I think it'll be close.
40:35
I hope it's a good battle.
40:38
Cross fat says to no redo one.
40:40
I think she did right after she was
40:42
like the fittest US fittest American.
40:46
I think she got to do one the
40:47
year after.
40:49
He also brings up Annie versus Valenzuela.
40:52
Like that's an old school one there.
40:55
This one is this.
40:57
This is going to make me dive down
40:58
a rabbit hole.
41:00
I think everybody is setting the
41:02
expectations for Gabby way too high.
41:06
And I think that she is a great
41:08
athlete,
41:08
and if she would not have torn her
41:10
Achilles,
41:11
we would be seeing her in a run
41:13
with Lucy and all of those athletes.
41:16
I have watched sports too long with this
41:21
Achilles injury and the amount of time it
41:23
takes to come out of it.
41:26
I just think it's going to take her
41:27
a little bit of time.
41:30
And everybody's picking her as a possible
41:32
podium finisher.
41:33
Yep.
41:34
And I think making the games is a
41:36
great first step to get back and then
41:38
just see where the chips fall.
41:46
I agree.
41:53
Depending on the workout,
41:54
this could be a kind of Lauren Brooks
41:55
versus Julie mismatch.
41:58
That's always the risk, but I think,
42:00
I think with Lucy and Miriam and open
42:04
to style workouts, we're going to be safe.
42:07
Yeah, I don't see it.
42:09
I think.
42:11
Like,
42:12
Julie and Lauren were completely different
42:18
athletes.
42:19
And, like, Miriam and Lucy, Amy, all,
42:23
I don't see them, like,
42:24
one of them running away that far ahead
42:27
to the point of that matchup.
42:29
Like, Lauren Brooks versus Julie.
42:33
Like, at least one, like,
42:35
a duo in there is going to get
42:36
close.
42:36
Yes.
42:38
Yes.
42:39
Like I, maybe one falls behind,
42:42
but there's going to be a race between
42:44
the top two in that workout.
42:46
And I like, we've talked to,
42:48
we talked about this last open year when
42:50
there's more than two people in it,
42:53
you get a better chance at a good
42:55
race.
42:56
Now, one of the three may fall off,
42:58
but at least you still get the race.
43:01
Um,
43:03
CrossFit says Gabby could be Bethany
43:05
Shadburn.
43:07
Achilles is different.
43:09
Scott has his upset face on possible riff
43:18
incoming.
43:20
I don't know.
43:22
I don't know.
43:24
I have tomorrow off, so I'm not like...
43:26
I wondered if you had tomorrow off.
43:29
So I'm just chill tonight.
43:31
we have family day tomorrow.
43:32
And, um, so it's all for everyone here.
43:36
Wow.
43:38
Uh, Teresa,
43:38
Katie L and I are not cool tonight.
43:41
They're fighting over Gabby,
43:45
but I do like, you know,
43:46
the three Europeans, um,
43:50
the new Europeans blood taking over,
43:53
you know, I,
43:54
I do like that matchup and it's where,
43:56
where in Europe is that one?
43:58
It's in Spain.
44:03
didn't pay attention to where i they're
44:05
holding up i forget where it is it's
44:08
in europe though so yeah who is cross
44:15
fat because he's saying get your butter
44:18
knife ready for the schmear then wfp is
44:22
next on the list can he see my
44:25
computer he's hacked you he stole your
44:30
identity
44:33
Portugal.
44:35
Oh.
44:36
Once I saw that,
44:37
I knew that was right.
44:38
It's in Portugal.
44:42
And Teresa, stop reading my notes too.
44:44
Yeah, really.
44:46
This is ridiculous.
44:50
CrossFit says, I'm Carolyn Prevo.
44:51
All right.
44:57
We are all CrossFit.
44:58
After watching Plurbis, that is freaky,
45:02
Kenneth DeLapp.
45:04
That's the one on Apple that they all
45:08
have like the one hive mind besides like
45:09
six people across the world.
45:12
Yeah, it's thirteen people, but yeah.
45:13
Okay.
45:14
Yeah,
45:14
they all are one conscious living in all
45:17
the bodies,
45:18
except for thirteen people who were immune
45:20
to it.
45:23
I've heard about it.
45:24
I haven't seen it.
45:25
I don't have anything Apple.
45:26
It was,
45:27
it was so freaky at the beginning.
45:29
I was like,
45:29
I don't know if I'm going to like
45:30
this.
45:30
And then I just spoiler much, you know,
45:34
that in like, you know,
45:36
I've never even watched it cross that I
45:39
like, I can't spoil something.
45:42
I don't even know.
45:43
I just have heard the premise of the
45:46
show.
45:47
That's like the trailer.
45:48
You're welcome.
45:49
Yeah.
45:50
It's in, you know, that happens.
45:52
And then,
45:56
We did not spoil it.
45:58
I'll be right back.
45:59
I have to just go grab my charger
46:00
from my computer.
46:01
I totally forgot about it.
46:05
All right.
46:05
So we're going to dive into...
46:10
If you have not seen Pluribus,
46:12
that part of it is not the interesting
46:14
part of the show.
46:15
It is just what sets it up at
46:17
the beginning.
46:18
And then it's the reaction to that that
46:21
is the rest of the nine or ten
46:23
episodes.
46:25
And it got really, really good.
46:28
Really, really good.
46:33
She's leaving to check Scott's laptop.
46:36
Carolyn has access to the document that's
46:38
on my computer.
46:39
I'm back.
46:43
What has this show come to?
46:44
Yeah,
46:44
we just do spoilers and smear campaigns.
46:47
Well, so does Lex.
46:49
So maybe it's Lex.
46:54
All right,
46:54
so WFP made the announcement that there
46:57
were how many?
47:00
Seven more signees to contracts.
47:05
I thought Emily Rolfe had already signed.
47:07
Apparently, she had not.
47:08
It just came out in a press release
47:09
a couple days ago.
47:11
But it's Amy Kringle, Olivia Kerstetter,
47:15
Sydney Wells, Annika Greer, Emily Rolfe,
47:18
Danny Spiegel,
47:19
and Jennifer Muir have all signed their
47:23
contracts.
47:24
How many are they at now?
47:28
Not a lot.
47:32
I think they're still missing almost the
47:34
whole top ten other than Emma Tall.
47:37
So there's twelve women that have signed,
47:39
right?
47:42
I don't know.
47:44
What's confusing is there's just been like
47:46
no consistency in like,
47:49
let's say they're going from the back
47:51
half, you know, because I'm a,
47:53
where did I'm a tall finish?
47:55
Sixth.
47:56
Yeah.
47:56
Cause like that,
47:57
that's the confusing part is you put
47:58
someone from the top ten and then the
48:00
other ones are in the middle.
48:02
People from past the top twenty.
48:07
I think Fi has one too.
48:09
So I went to their Instagram so we
48:11
can see the full list.
48:14
Fee did not get a...
48:16
But I think she was on Pedro's podcast,
48:18
and I thought I heard her say that
48:20
she had received her pro card.
48:21
Yeah,
48:21
but I don't think she accepted it or
48:26
signed it.
48:26
She has not officially been announced.
48:29
So here they are.
48:31
Danny Spiegel, Annika Greer, Sydney Wells,
48:33
Olivia Kerstetter, Amy Kringle,
48:37
Tora Moracanio, Colton Mertens.
48:40
So where are the other women?
48:41
There's even some missing...
48:43
Yeah, this is not.
48:47
So that's five.
48:50
And that's Jennifer Muir is not there,
48:52
but in the release,
48:54
Emily Rolfe is down below.
48:56
Where is that?
49:02
There's Emily Rolfe, Lydia Fish,
49:05
Emma Tall, Andrea Solberg,
49:08
Sydney McElishan, Oda, London, Kim.
49:12
I can never say that.
49:14
And that's it.
49:15
So that's one, two, three, four, five,
49:19
six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,
49:32
twelve.
49:33
Yep.
49:34
Twelve.
49:35
That's what I thought.
49:35
There's twelve women signed.
49:38
Oh, I think Jenny's right.
49:41
Because they were doing those five
49:43
wildcard invites.
49:45
I think Fi is one of those.
49:46
But wouldn't she have been just outside
49:49
the top twenty and could get that pro
49:51
card if people declined?
49:53
True.
49:53
It could be a pro card as well.
49:55
That's true.
49:57
Because she was within the next three
50:00
people.
50:02
So if only three people declined,
50:04
which I'm assuming have...
50:06
I think she has a pro card.
50:09
They just haven't announced it yet.
50:11
Which again is weird from the order.
50:13
The order of the people that they're
50:15
signing or they're releasing anyways is
50:18
all over the map.
50:20
It's not confusing.
50:24
It may just be they're releasing it in
50:27
the order that they're signing.
50:28
Possibly.
50:30
Then their qualifiers start this week.
50:33
Wednesday, yes.
50:34
Wednesday.
50:36
Amy Kringle signed.
50:38
Yes.
50:39
That's the only one in the top five.
50:41
Correct.
50:44
Emma Tall signed,
50:45
and Olivia Kerstetter signed,
50:47
and Annika Kerr signed.
50:48
So three of the second five.
50:51
And Sydney.
50:52
And Sydney.
50:53
And Sydney.
50:53
And Brooke is retiring.
50:55
Right.
50:56
For now.
50:58
Although Andrea...
51:00
Hannah Black is not listed.
51:01
Mano Anganese is not listed.
51:03
Like, I...
51:07
And Ella Wilkinson is not listed.
51:12
So, of course,
51:15
the most conspicuous name that is not
51:17
signed is Laura Horvath.
51:20
And James Sprague on the men's.
51:22
And James Sprague.
51:24
And they could be waiting to do one
51:27
with last year's champs, too.
51:31
But, again, weird.
51:33
long awaiting timing so pencil pen or
51:38
sharpie laura horvat will forego the wfp
51:42
season to take her shot at a second
51:44
crossfit games title i don't know i'm
51:55
leaning i'm leaning then that campus she's
51:57
pulling a lucy campbell and
52:00
wants to go for the game season since
52:03
Tia's out.
52:06
I think she would go.
52:08
I don't think it's because of Tia.
52:12
I mean,
52:12
it makes it a heck of a lot
52:13
easier to decide to go for K or
52:16
whatever it might be.
52:18
It does.
52:23
That's, I mean, that's the issue.
52:24
I feel like that's where,
52:25
that's the only reason Lucy like decided
52:27
to back out is there's a shot at
52:30
getting three hundred K and that's more
52:34
than a hundred.
52:36
I think there's definitely a chance to see
52:38
her,
52:40
but I don't think it's this year with
52:44
the increase in open registrations and the
52:47
pot growing.
52:48
That means the winner's pot is growing.
52:53
I think there's a chance economically she
52:56
looks at that, the math works out,
52:58
and you take your shot.
53:00
Between that and Rogue?
53:03
She does seem like a stubborn person.
53:06
My only thing is,
53:07
I feel like if her mind was set,
53:11
like she's done with HQ until something
53:13
changes,
53:14
she would have just been all in on
53:16
WFP and been hyping that up and would
53:18
have signed already and made it clear
53:20
she's going that route.
53:22
And
53:22
She hasn't.
53:23
So it makes me think that there's some
53:26
thoughts going on.
53:27
Like Lucy came out right away and said
53:28
she wasn't signing.
53:29
So.
53:31
I don't know.
53:32
This is weird.
53:34
Yeah.
53:36
And if she does do the games,
53:37
I don't think she would be signing up
53:38
now.
53:39
Like it's going to be a last second
53:40
thing if she if she were to sign
53:42
up.
53:45
But.
53:48
There's no way CrossFat that this is
53:50
happening.
53:52
I know you all want that to happen,
53:54
but you're all wrong.
53:57
She won Rogue handily.
54:00
Handily.
54:02
There's no way that more than two or
54:06
three people have a shot at taking her
54:07
down.
54:07
Yeah.
54:09
I don't know.
54:19
Phil says,
54:19
I don't think she's doing the games,
54:20
but Red Bull and Adidas may one or
54:22
two.
54:22
Yeah.
54:23
That money.
54:24
And if you're not doing WFP and you're
54:26
not doing the game season,
54:28
where's their return for their investment?
54:32
Rogue.
54:35
Is that enough?
54:46
No.
54:46
Yeah.
54:50
I don't know.
54:51
I'm going with Penn on that one.
54:54
I'm leaning towards she's going for the
54:56
games title.
54:58
Yeah, I think you're foolish.
55:01
I think you're foolish if you go pencil.
55:03
For me, it's got to be Penn.
55:05
I'm between pencil and Penn.
55:08
I would have been an easy pencil before,
55:10
but I am moving towards Penn.
55:14
The longer I'm seeing the WFP kind of
55:17
stuff a little bit all over,
55:22
I don't know.
55:23
Like, I'm moving towards Penn.
55:25
Yeah.
55:25
It's surprising, right?
55:26
That she didn't just, like... Yeah.
55:28
Didn't just sign up for WFP and make
55:30
it clear.
55:31
Like... Or just vocalize.
55:32
Yeah.
55:33
Yeah.
55:33
Continue to vocalize, like, her... Mm-hmm.
55:36
supportive of wfp how well it was last
55:39
or how you know yeah while it did
55:42
and hype it up yes be like this
55:43
was exactly what we needed in this sport
55:47
and i'm i'm sticking with this and i
55:51
don't know like and even i just don't
55:53
like the name wfp like what's a project
55:58
Like if it was called the world fitness
56:00
championships, that is way easier to sell.
56:03
And that it's like the, the,
56:04
the world strongest man, right?
56:07
That may not be the strongest man comp,
56:08
like the world's strongest man competition
56:10
might not be the best like programmed or
56:13
whatever,
56:13
but you say that title and everyone's
56:15
like, wow,
56:16
you won the world's strongest man,
56:18
like world's fitness project.
56:20
It's not strong.
56:23
I wish it was called World Fitness
56:24
Championships or World Fitness Games,
56:27
but the word project to me is...
56:31
I've never liked that word.
56:34
Teresa says,
56:34
I do think sponsors will have an
56:36
influence.
56:37
I just watched Drive to Survive today.
56:40
I'm trying to catch up.
56:41
Now the football season's over.
56:44
And in this episode...
56:46
The one racing team got fired both drivers
56:49
because to get a sponsor of three to
56:52
five million dollars,
56:53
they wanted a German driver.
56:55
So they fired both of their drivers to
56:57
get that sponsorship money.
57:00
That's how much of an influence sponsors
57:01
have in sports.
57:05
It's just a fact.
57:06
Agree.
57:12
Cross fat answers Carolyn's question.
57:15
Nobody knows what it means.
57:16
It's provocative.
57:17
It gets people going.
57:22
I just think it would be a stronger
57:24
name and way easier to,
57:29
I don't know what to sell to be
57:30
like to say that you're the world champ,
57:32
like the world fitness champion,
57:35
like championship, like, you know,
57:37
like the world fitness project champion is
57:39
awesome.
57:42
Ken's been with his wife for forty years
57:44
and she still says he's a project.
57:48
Yeah.
57:49
I don't know.
57:50
That's probably a better comparison to the
57:52
league right now.
57:54
Yeah.
57:57
It is a project.
57:58
I agree.
57:58
It's a project because we'll always be
58:00
trying to figure things out.
58:02
I don't even know if they're trying to
58:03
figure things out.
58:03
They're not taking...
58:05
They took the points system.
58:07
They took that criticism and critiquing
58:10
and
58:11
applied that but other things i don't know
58:14
fitness league world fitness you know
58:17
world fitness league would have would have
58:19
been a good name too i just don't
58:20
like the word project yeah they definitely
58:24
overthought the name marketing and timing
58:28
isn't their strong suit because like if
58:30
you said to people like yeah i'm
58:31
participating in the world fitness league
58:33
this year like that you just sounds better
58:38
it's like a school group project where one
58:40
or two people are probably doing most of
58:42
the work.
58:47
Um, so we didn't, uh,
58:51
we didn't get to talk about this much
58:53
about Will's appearance on the Rich
58:55
Froning podcast.
58:57
Did you guys get a chance to see
58:59
it?
58:59
Any thoughts?
59:02
I watched it like, I mean,
59:04
I guess I listened to it and really
59:05
watch it.
59:06
Um,
59:07
i've listened to it twice i'm i feel
59:10
like i'm not retaining i don't know if
59:12
i just check out because i get like
59:15
annoyed or i don't know what's happening
59:16
but i've watched it twice and i'm still
59:18
like i still don't know what the hell
59:20
was said i don't i don't think you
59:24
i don't know what i don't think anything
59:26
was said maybe that's the issue i don't
59:31
know i i think that
59:36
I don't want this to be a smear
59:37
campaign.
59:39
I want them to go on because I
59:40
think it's a great league for some of
59:43
the people who signed their contracts to
59:46
have the opportunity to have their season
59:47
paid for,
59:48
to get the experience and to grow as
59:51
an athlete in this space.
59:52
And I think it's important for that,
59:54
but for the love of God,
59:56
get somebody else out there to speak and
1:00:00
answer questions.
1:00:04
Like when you say your North star is
1:00:06
sport, that just doesn't even make sense.
1:00:10
But I think it's the lack of questions
1:00:13
too, from like, rich doesn't, he's like,
1:00:16
right.
1:00:17
Right.
1:00:18
But Austin did.
1:00:20
Not towards that though.
1:00:21
Just a one part.
1:00:23
That was about it.
1:00:26
I thought Austin had quite a few good
1:00:28
questions and like really pushed him to
1:00:30
try to get an answer.
1:00:34
He didn't really want to give answers.
1:00:35
I mean,
1:00:36
he tried to push him on the... What...
1:00:40
Like,
1:00:40
if you could work with CrossFit and you
1:00:42
could be... Like, what would you do?
1:00:43
And he just tried to brush that off.
1:00:47
He's like, well,
1:00:47
that's not going to happen.
1:00:49
And Austin was like, well, I know,
1:00:50
but if it did,
1:00:51
what would it look like?
1:00:52
He wouldn't really even go there.
1:00:55
Yeah,
1:00:55
but I think that's the only place that
1:00:57
he tried pushing.
1:00:57
And that's like a... That was the...
1:01:02
the part where I think the world fitness
1:01:04
project struggles with the name CrossFit.
1:01:06
And I don't know.
1:01:09
I think in other parts they could have
1:01:10
pushed more.
1:01:13
Uh, Fergie says,
1:01:14
I just relegated them to triple a ball.
1:01:16
I did not.
1:01:18
I don't think it's that far of a
1:01:19
gap between the CrossFit game season and
1:01:22
WFP.
1:01:23
Many of the people in WFP are going
1:01:24
to compete in the CrossFit game season.
1:01:27
It's not triple a it,
1:01:29
and it is Anika Greer is not triple
1:01:31
a.
1:01:33
Amy Kringle is not AAA.
1:01:35
Those are not AAA athletes.
1:01:38
It's where someone can go to fund their
1:01:40
season who maybe doesn't have the
1:01:42
sponsorships that Laura Horvath has or
1:01:46
that Lucy Campbell has.
1:01:48
They can go get their season paid for
1:01:52
and develop as an athlete while they're
1:01:54
doing it and not have to worry about
1:01:56
the expenses.
1:01:57
Yeah,
1:01:58
I think it's a great option for a
1:01:59
lot of athletes.
1:02:00
If I didn't work full-time...
1:02:05
You get three comps paid for during the
1:02:09
year, all of that.
1:02:11
It's a great option for especially people
1:02:13
just trying to break in,
1:02:16
get some experience,
1:02:17
compete against a great field of games
1:02:21
athletes,
1:02:21
and then top semifinal range games
1:02:24
athletes are trying to make it.
1:02:26
I think it's a great option for people,
1:02:29
but for some,
1:02:29
it's too much with the game season.
1:02:31
Yeah.
1:02:33
It feels kind of like mid-majors, Maction,
1:02:36
Atlantic Ten.
1:02:37
I made this comparison early in the week.
1:02:39
I think it's more the Big Ten and
1:02:40
the SEC compared to the ACC.
1:02:43
It's not as big a gap as from
1:02:46
SEC to MAC,
1:02:48
if you're going to use the college
1:02:49
football analogy.
1:02:51
ACC can still make the college football
1:02:53
playoff.
1:02:54
They can still win games in the playoff,
1:02:56
but they're probably going to be the
1:02:57
underdog in most cases against the SEC and
1:03:00
the Big Ten.
1:03:10
But if year two already has less athlete
1:03:12
buy-in, that's not a good sign.
1:03:15
If you have twelve women out of the
1:03:17
twenty and you have,
1:03:19
I think it's like more than that in
1:03:20
the men.
1:03:21
It's really just the top five that didn't
1:03:23
sign.
1:03:24
Yeah,
1:03:24
I think they've got nineteen men signed
1:03:26
already.
1:03:28
Well,
1:03:29
but they had to go outside the twenty.
1:03:30
Right,
1:03:30
to twenty-eight or seven or I don't know
1:03:32
what it was.
1:03:33
But I think everybody from six down
1:03:35
signed.
1:03:38
Yeah.
1:03:41
I don't again,
1:03:42
I think this all goes back to the
1:03:44
year to the way they started this.
1:03:48
you like people say that it's a failure
1:03:50
because people because like these pros
1:03:52
aren't taking their card but like,
1:03:54
I think this is a function of them
1:03:56
not starting the whole thing correctly.
1:03:59
Like this needed to be done with people
1:04:02
that you don't give handouts.
1:04:04
That is that is the failure of this
1:04:07
system is the handouts.
1:04:09
You you needed people that wanted to do
1:04:12
this and wanted to buy for a spot.
1:04:16
And then you would have had buy-in from
1:04:17
those people.
1:04:18
But I think year one, they had to.
1:04:21
No, they didn't.
1:04:21
They could have easily done,
1:04:23
do a qualifier show up top.
1:04:25
Yes.
1:04:26
People wouldn't have done the qualifier.
1:04:29
They wouldn't have got anybody.
1:04:30
They wouldn't have,
1:04:30
they wouldn't have got people.
1:04:31
People don't want to qualify.
1:04:32
No, no, I don't think so.
1:04:36
No, we don't need, listen,
1:04:38
let the top ten do the games.
1:04:40
We don't need them.
1:04:41
Like it doesn't,
1:04:42
doesn't have to be on those people's
1:04:44
But that's not what they wanted.
1:04:46
They wanted the top ten.
1:04:47
That's a dumb business model.
1:04:49
That's a dumb business model.
1:04:51
Those people are rolling in the dough.
1:04:53
That's why Lucy's not doing this.
1:04:55
She has gotten sponsorships.
1:04:57
She did well enough.
1:04:58
She's gotten sponsorships.
1:04:59
She doesn't need...
1:05:01
The top ten don't need this.
1:05:03
Like,
1:05:03
that shouldn't be your pool of people.
1:05:06
You're not fighting...
1:05:07
You're not getting five hundred thousand
1:05:08
dollars of...
1:05:10
of money from sponsors to give to these
1:05:12
people.
1:05:12
You're just paying them to get there.
1:05:14
It's going to be the people who don't
1:05:16
have sponsors and need to get their names
1:05:18
out.
1:05:24
What is he frozen?
1:05:34
I don't know.
1:05:35
He told me to stop.
1:05:36
So
1:05:37
Oh, God.
1:05:39
His router thingy.
1:05:45
It's just the timing of their comps.
1:05:48
I think that's part of it.
1:05:49
It's the placement there.
1:05:50
I think the late August is fine.
1:05:53
Early September.
1:05:54
I think that's fine.
1:05:56
Their December one is okay.
1:05:59
I think it could be... When's Rogue?
1:06:02
Normally,
1:06:02
it's last weekend of October or November.
1:06:05
I guess earlier in December would be fine.
1:06:10
It's the one right in between the
1:06:12
semifinal that throws off everything to
1:06:15
me.
1:06:17
That one is not placed well at all.
1:06:19
I hate this thing.
1:06:23
I think only two events would be fine.
1:06:27
Two or three.
1:06:33
I know,
1:06:33
but it's the rant that you've been hanging
1:06:35
on for a year.
1:06:36
And we're past it.
1:06:38
We're past it.
1:06:39
Everyone keeps saying the same exact
1:06:41
thing.
1:06:42
And you've missed the whole point.
1:06:45
Nobody was given anything this year.
1:06:47
So we're way past it.
1:06:49
Oh, they're still trying to give.
1:06:51
That's not true.
1:06:52
They're still giving out wild cards.
1:06:56
We don't know of a single one.
1:06:57
So now you're arguing about something
1:06:59
hypothetical.
1:07:01
Okay, we'll see.
1:07:06
CrossFit says that the ACC had a team
1:07:08
in the final.
1:07:09
That makes my point exactly.
1:07:11
Someone like Amy Kringle could be on the
1:07:12
podium at the CrossFit Games.
1:07:14
That is very likely.
1:07:16
So it's not as far.
1:07:19
And he also says the failure is because
1:07:21
no one knows the why or the goal.
1:07:23
And that I completely,
1:07:25
one hundred percent agree with.
1:07:34
Too many things.
1:07:35
They did give Noah his spot again, yes.
1:07:39
I mean,
1:07:40
I suppose if James doesn't sign up,
1:07:41
maybe he's the twentieth.
1:07:43
I don't know.
1:07:44
Until we have the full roster.
1:07:46
There's rumor that Noah got one of the
1:07:48
wild cards,
1:07:48
but there's no announcement to that.
1:07:52
I think he's announced it.
1:07:55
He did not.
1:07:57
Barbell Spin reported it,
1:07:59
that he heard that that had happened.
1:08:03
Anyway, I don't know.
1:08:08
We don't know if James is doing it.
1:08:09
James said he was doing it,
1:08:10
then in a comment section said that he
1:08:12
may have reconsidered because of the
1:08:14
people he hangs around like the boys
1:08:16
interrupted.
1:08:18
Yep.
1:08:22
Jenny said Noah said it on his newest
1:08:23
video.
1:08:23
Okay.
1:08:24
Didn't catch that one.
1:08:26
Was it the one where he was doing
1:08:27
his cleans that he missed that was
1:08:29
starfishing?
1:08:29
That's where I think I saw it.
1:08:35
So I trust Jenny.
1:08:37
Oh, thanks.
1:08:39
Noah said it.
1:08:41
Yeah.
1:08:42
You never said Noah said it.
1:08:44
I said he said it somewhere.
1:08:46
Well,
1:08:46
somewhere and on his YouTube video or two
1:08:48
different things.
1:08:49
YouTuber, Instagram somewhere,
1:08:51
one of his posts, put it somewhere.
1:08:54
Man, at the end of the show,
1:08:55
we're having a boxing match between Jamie
1:08:57
and I.
1:08:59
This is the first year that Jamie and
1:09:02
I went on the road.
1:09:02
This was every conversation.
1:09:05
Every stinking conversation.
1:09:10
I said the sky was blue.
1:09:11
She said it was green.
1:09:15
Good Lord.
1:09:19
You tell him, Ken.
1:09:21
She said he said it.
1:09:22
There you go.
1:09:23
Right, but she didn't say where.
1:09:25
I don't need to tell you where.
1:09:29
Thank you, CrossFit.
1:09:30
Jamie's super convincing.
1:09:32
He said something somewhere about
1:09:33
something or somewhat.
1:09:39
We're here for it.
1:09:41
yeah have us on the mma show jeremy
1:09:44
jamie and i are throwing down um okay
1:09:53
yeah she said it was spartan green fergie
1:09:55
she's fergie knows the sky is spartan
1:09:57
green not just green and carolyn just
1:10:01
threw up in her mouth because she's a
1:10:02
badger for life
1:10:06
all right there was some news this week
1:10:09
let's get into that a little bit um
1:10:11
yellow hosty yellow hosty yellow hosta
1:10:14
announced that he had a wrist injury uh
1:10:19
and is recovering to compete in the uh
1:10:22
crossfit in the wfp season so he's
1:10:26
stepping out of the crossfit season only
1:10:29
gonna do that is what that's what his
1:10:31
announcement appeared to say okay
1:10:36
Seems like a reasonable backup.
1:10:38
This woman called him and asked James,
1:10:40
he said, yet to be announced.
1:10:45
Scott's all frazzled yet now.
1:10:48
Yeah, because CrossFat's picking Jamie.
1:10:55
Jelly Hostie always sounds like a foreign
1:10:57
pastry.
1:11:00
He does.
1:11:00
Now I want a donut.
1:11:03
The other news that we've talked about on
1:11:05
the lunch show a little bit is that
1:11:07
Olivia Kerstetter was hospitalized with
1:11:09
staph infection that they thought might be
1:11:12
MRSA.
1:11:13
Shaina Bunce, who is a CrossFit MD L-I,
1:11:18
was in the chat this week,
1:11:20
said it wasn't in the joint,
1:11:21
which means she should be able to recover
1:11:23
pretty quickly.
1:11:25
I've had that before.
1:11:27
It is one of the most painful things
1:11:29
I've ever experienced in my life.
1:11:31
I hope she's through it quickly.
1:11:34
And again,
1:11:34
she's way farther on the sickness,
1:11:38
wellness,
1:11:38
fitness continuum than I was at the time.
1:11:41
So hopefully she bounces back pretty
1:11:43
quickly.
1:11:44
And then the one thing I forgot to
1:11:45
put on here is Annie Thorisdottir did give
1:11:47
birth to
1:11:48
this week oh uh to a new baby
1:11:51
everybody is happy and healthy and doing
1:11:54
great so congratulations to frederick and
1:11:59
annie on the birth of their brand new
1:12:01

1:12:04

1:12:08
partner was expecting as well oh wow i
1:12:11

1:12:16
Yeah,
1:12:16
Olivia did put out a PSA to not
1:12:19
put your sweaty,
1:12:20
dirty knee sleeves over top an open cut.
1:12:25
And Kenneth says,
1:12:26
I still haven't washed my knee sleeves.
1:12:27
Go do that.
1:12:31
I'm with Teresa.
1:12:31
I quit wearing knee sleeves a long time
1:12:33
ago.
1:12:33
I got to wear my knee sleeves.
1:12:36
But I always have, I, right now,
1:12:38
I mean, I have tights on every day,
1:12:39
so.
1:12:40
Yeah, same here.
1:12:40
I've been mostly wearing like leggings or
1:12:43
like sweatpants.
1:12:44
Mm-hmm.
1:12:47
uh jeremy's asking if it's a boy or
1:12:48
a girl i don't think she announced it
1:12:51
didn't she say it was a boy it
1:12:55
was very it was a very vague post
1:13:00
so i'll pull it up i want to
1:13:05
say there was like a post like they
1:13:07
didn't do a gender reveal but like they
1:13:09
i don't i don't remember i could have
1:13:11
sworn she said they were having a boy
1:13:14
here was everyone happy healthy and
1:13:17
adjusting to this beautiful life.
1:13:22
And that's all that I saw on her
1:13:24
post.
1:13:30
Now I don't know if the stories have
1:13:33
something different.
1:13:42
Yeah,
1:13:42
I don't see anything that says a gender.
1:13:48
CrossFit said,
1:13:49
I'm pretty sure they said boy pre-birth.
1:13:51
I'm pretty sure they did too.
1:13:55
Trust me, Scott.
1:13:56
She said it somewhere.
1:13:57
You're going with the somebody said
1:13:59
something somewhere.
1:14:00
She said it.
1:14:01
About something?
1:14:02
She had it on an Instagram post.
1:14:07
I don't even think I follow her,
1:14:08
but somehow I think I caught that.
1:14:11
Oh, it is a baby boy.
1:14:13
You're welcome.
1:14:17
Yeah, I did find it.
1:14:20
Before she had the baby,
1:14:21
she did announce it was a boy.
1:14:23
Right.
1:14:33
It might not have been the knee sleeve,
1:14:35
says Shanna,
1:14:36
but clean sleeves always good.
1:14:42
Yeah,
1:14:42
she said it on a thing about a
1:14:44
thing on her thing.
1:14:44
There you go.
1:14:48
And this is what I'm learning very,
1:14:50
very much is Shannon knows all.
1:14:53
When it comes to medical,
1:14:54
that woman is so fast to respond.
1:15:06
So is she Annie's son or Frederick's son?
1:15:09
Hmm.
1:15:11
Is he Annie's son or Frederick's son?
1:15:16
I don't know.
1:15:18
It's always off the dad, isn't it?
1:15:19
I thought so.
1:15:22
Yeah, I think so, but I don't know.
1:15:32
Fergie, at my age,
1:15:32
I prefer ends or knee wraps.
1:15:36
I just go with ace bandages.
1:15:43
No.
1:15:49
Just don't put your knee sleeves in the
1:15:51
dryer unless you like them melting on
1:15:52
clothes.
1:15:54
I put my knee sleeves in the dryer
1:15:55
all the time.
1:15:56
Really?
1:15:57
Yeah.
1:15:58
After I wash them,
1:15:58
I put them in the dryer and then
1:16:00
they're way tighter on the knees and feel
1:16:01
better.
1:16:02
I could see that.
1:16:04
My regular knee sleeves,
1:16:09
unless they're talking about a different
1:16:10
material, it's not melting anywhere.
1:16:14
It's like my... Judy Reed says,
1:16:16
in her culture, it's Daniel's son,
1:16:17
says Mr. Miyagi.
1:16:31
Ken Walters says,
1:16:32
if this was a shot game and it
1:16:33
was every time Jamie said,
1:16:35
I think I heard it,
1:16:36
I would be passed out.
1:16:41
You guys should try it next time.
1:16:42
Let me know how it goes for you.
1:16:45
Boyle water, take off, boil,
1:16:47
add dish soap,
1:16:48
stir and add sleeve and soak for twenty.
1:16:51
So it's too much work.
1:16:52
Put it in,
1:16:52
put it in the wash with everything else.
1:16:58
I wash my sleeves at least once a
1:17:00
year.
1:17:03
Don't want to smell that gym bag.
1:17:07
I mean,
1:17:08
maybe you only wear them like twice a
1:17:09
year or so, OK, but.
1:17:14
Yeah.
1:17:16
All right.
1:17:17
Well, that's been a fun show.
1:17:19
Well,
1:17:20
we're only a week and a half away
1:17:22
from the open.
1:17:24
It's crazy.
1:17:28
Yeah.
1:17:28
Not prepared.
1:17:30
I got a lot to do to get
1:17:31
the gym ready.
1:17:33
Me either.
1:17:35
But tomorrow I have the day off,
1:17:37
so I'm just going to chill.
1:17:39
Must be nice.
1:17:42
Same here.
1:17:44
Must be nice.
1:17:45
Ron's still, she's coming home Tuesday,
1:17:48
I think.
1:17:49
So she's still in South Carolina.
1:17:52
So I got extra stuff to do around
1:17:53
the gym.
1:17:55
I don't wash my knees, Lisa,
1:17:56
but I used to snort Coke off toilet
1:17:58
seats.
1:17:58
I'm not worried.
1:18:01
Guess it's all relative.
1:18:08
Will USA Women's Hockey be scored on?
1:18:10
They have been scored on, haven't they?
1:18:15
I haven't watched any hockey.
1:18:17
I haven't watched that close.
1:18:18
I think they have one goal against.
1:18:25
Canada will score on them in the finals.
1:18:27
I don't think Canada will win,
1:18:29
but USA is just better right now on
1:18:31
the female side.
1:18:34
It's like putting sweaty hockey gear in
1:18:35
the bag.
1:18:36
It's a breeding ground for biohazards.
1:18:39
Hockey stuff sinks so bad.
1:18:41
Yeah.
1:18:44
Did you see where the LA Kings player
1:18:47
got injured at the Olympics?
1:18:49
No.
1:18:50
If you're the owner of an NHL team
1:18:53
and you agree to let your players go
1:18:55
play in the Olympics and then you lose
1:18:57
them for the season,
1:18:59
how long do you think it's going to
1:19:01
be before the NHL says,
1:19:02
I'm not going to do this anymore?
1:19:04
I could see that.
1:19:09
But we love seeing it.
1:19:11
Not the injuries,
1:19:12
but like the NHL players.
1:19:15
I mean,
1:19:16
there were injuries in the four nations
1:19:21
cup last year.
1:19:22
There were injuries in that, right?
1:19:23
That affected.
1:19:27
Yeah.
1:19:27
That was some of the best hockey I've
1:19:29
ever seen in my life.
1:19:31
That four nations tournament last year.
1:19:34
The fights right before when it started.
1:19:37
Oh, that's so good.
1:19:40
You won't see the fights at the Olympics,
1:19:42
though.
1:19:42
Yeah, Kevin Fiala.
1:19:47
Hopefully this doesn't stop the next
1:19:49
Olympics World Cup next year.
1:19:54
Jeremy says on Wisconsin.
1:19:58
Of course, Tom Wilson was involved in it.
1:20:04
Yeah.
1:20:04
Yeah, I saw this.
1:20:06
NFL players are going to be doing the
1:20:07
flag football in twenty twenty eight.
1:20:10
Yeah, we talked about that last week.
1:20:12
I know.
1:20:13
I remember a long time ago,
1:20:14
there was a running back or a wide
1:20:16
receiver for the Chiefs who tore every
1:20:19
ligament in his knee playing sand flag
1:20:22
football at the Pro Bowl and never really
1:20:25
came back to the same level he was.
1:20:35
I'm surprised that keeping their athletes
1:20:37
out of the Olympics isn't already built
1:20:38
into their contracts.
1:20:39
They actually agreed to promote their
1:20:42
sport to allow them to go to the
1:20:44
Olympics.
1:20:46
A lot of these athletes want to play
1:20:48
at the Olympics, though.
1:20:49
I get that they have millions in
1:20:51
contracts,
1:20:52
but they're proud to represent their
1:20:53
country.
1:20:54
They want to go to the Olympics.
1:20:55
They want to see other sports and bring
1:20:58
back metal.
1:21:00
So I'm just glad that they're allowing
1:21:02
them to do that.
1:21:08
Cross Vets said,
1:21:09
didn't Charlie McAvoy get hurt then get
1:21:11
like an infection from the training team
1:21:13
at Four Nations?
1:21:15
I thought there was an injury,
1:21:17
but I don't remember the details.
1:21:20
My team's been so bad for the last
1:21:22
couple years.
1:21:24
Four Nations was my joy last season.
1:21:31
Players Union approved it for hockey best
1:21:33
on best except Russia and Belarus.
1:21:43
I love the USA hockey commercial Canadian
1:21:45
tears.
1:21:46
Our commercial,
1:21:47
our reply back to that commercial is
1:21:49
better.
1:21:50
Not even close.
1:21:51
I saw the Canadian response.
1:21:53
It was really good.
1:21:54
Ours is way better than the American one.
1:21:57
You have to give you kudos on that.
1:21:59
Yeah.
1:22:00
It was really good.
1:22:01
Set it up for us.
1:22:02
And then we, we just, we took it.
1:22:08
Kind of a boat bummer that we don't
1:22:09
have a Vetchkin.
1:22:12
Yeah, that would be awesome.
1:22:14
And it's probably his last shot, right?
1:22:17
Like Ovechkin's probably going to be
1:22:19
retired before the next Olympics.
1:22:26
All right, guys, this has been fun.
1:22:28
Enjoy the Olympics this week.
1:22:30
We'll be back on the air tomorrow for
1:22:31
lunch.
1:22:33
It'll be a relaxed show as I don't
1:22:36
have to work.
1:22:38
So we'll just chill.
1:22:41
Talk about entertainment and CrossFit and
1:22:44
all that stuff.
1:22:48
Russian supplements could keep Ovechkin
1:22:49
around.
1:22:53
Yes.
1:22:53
