  We appreciate her so much.

  Talk to her today.

• 1:11
  gym today since getting her
• 1:12
  L one in December.
• 1:14
  And she's coaching her first
• 1:15
  class tomorrow.
• 1:17
  So good luck to her.
• 1:20
  She was going to start
• 1:20
  coaching after she retired.
• 1:22
  But with all the summer
• 1:24
  vacations and Carolyn just
• 1:27
  disappeared on us.
• 1:28
  Hold on.
• 1:31
  She's going to coach
• 1:31
  tomorrow and start her
• 1:34
  coaching career a little bit early.
• 1:36
  That's awesome.
• 1:39
  Denise, you're in the chat.
• 1:41
  Do you guys do CAP or what
• 1:44
  programming do you have?
• 1:48
  Trial by fire.
• 1:50
  That's usually...
• 1:52
  Nothing to it but to do it.
• 1:54
  Kind of just jump in.
• 1:59
  There we go.
• 2:00
  Sorry about that.
• 2:02
  Okay, thanks.
• 2:03
  New member, Kenneth DeLab.
• 2:05
  Nice.
• 2:06
  Thank you so much, Kenneth.
• 2:10
  Lana says good luck to you.
• 2:14
  I can't see the chat.
• 2:15
  I was trying to see if I
• 2:16
  could see the chat and then
• 2:17
  it just kicked me off of this.
• 2:20
  I had my computer beside,
• 2:21
  so I should be good.
• 2:23
  Yeah, if you want to see it, Carolyn,
• 2:24
  pull up the YouTube, just mute it.
• 2:27
  Yeah, that's what I did.
• 2:29
  So on my computer,
• 2:30
  I went on the YouTube
• 2:31
  because I had to use my
• 2:31
  phone for this tonight.
• 2:32
  So it should be good now.
• 2:36
  Denise says they're doing
• 2:37
  deadlifts tomorrow,
• 2:38
  so it'll be easy to coach.
• 2:39
  You've got the expert right
• 2:41
  here tonight if you have any questions,
• 2:42
  Denise.
• 2:42
  Bend and snap.
• 2:47
  Bend and snap.
• 2:49
  There we go.
• 2:50
  All right.
• 2:50
  So we got that out of the way.
• 2:52
  Happy Father's Day to all
• 2:54
  you dads out there.
• 2:57
  This is my twenty fourth
• 2:58
  year of being a dad.
• 3:00
  It's the best job I've ever had.
• 3:02
  And I'm so glad that my
• 3:03
  daughter is traveling from
• 3:05
  Chicago back to Montana.
• 3:06
  She called me today from the
• 3:08
  airport and we got a chance
• 3:10
  to talk for about twenty minutes,
• 3:12
  which was really cool.
• 3:13
  That time is nothing but value.
• 3:15
  So it's really cool.
• 3:18
  But happy Father's Day to
• 3:19
  everybody out there.
• 3:21
  I know we have a lot in the chat.
• 3:24
  So do you guys do anything
• 3:26
  special this weekend?
• 3:29
  We did the Community Cup.
• 3:30
  I need to put that in the rundown.
• 3:36
  How did it go?
• 3:37
  Good.
• 3:38
  We had there was like I
• 3:41
  think there was only like
• 3:42
  fourteen members that
• 3:43
  actually signed up for it.
• 3:45
  So we had three heats of
• 3:47
  three heats of seven basically.
• 3:50
  Um, and I had like my judges be judge,
• 3:53
  judge.
• 3:54
  And then we just, as their break,
• 3:55
  we did the workout and then,
• 3:59
  then did workout two,
• 4:00
  same thing and then lifted.
• 4:03
  So it was, it was good.
• 4:05
  I think, I think like,
• 4:08
  I think pretty workout one was okay.
• 4:11
  I didn't love the scaling
• 4:12
  right to handstand pushups.
• 4:14
  Like I,
• 4:16
  I don't know.
• 4:16
  The scaling, I feel like,
• 4:17
  is a little weird.
• 4:18
  We had a lot of complaints
• 4:19
  about age group not being scaled.
• 4:22
  So, like, for Jim, it was very awkward.
• 4:26
  I mean, it was just – it was really weird,
• 4:28
  especially workout two.
• 4:32
  You didn't like their – I
• 4:32
  thought their scalings were good.
• 4:35
  So, Jim had to just do level seven,
• 4:38
  so he would have –
• 4:40
  it's really weird for a
• 4:41
  sixty five year old like
• 4:42
  jim would do women's
• 4:42
  weights but he had to do
• 4:45
  hand release push-ups I
• 4:47
  think yeah so he had to do
• 4:49
  um no kipping handstand
• 4:51
  push-ups okay which
• 4:53
  whatever I told he ended up
• 4:55
  not one he did he backed
• 4:56
  that one down even more he
• 4:57
  ended up not doing it legit
• 4:59
  because it just didn't
• 4:59
  really make sense um
• 5:01
  because I told him he could
• 5:02
  use an ab mat because they
• 5:03
  usually have a riser for his age group
• 5:06
  And then in the second one,
• 5:09
  he can't overhead squat
• 5:10
  more than like seventy five pounds.
• 5:12
  So he had to go down.
• 5:13
  And nor would he even in the open.
• 5:16
  Right.
• 5:16
  Because he would do like women's weights.
• 5:19
  Or seventy sixty five or seventy five.
• 5:21
  And they wanted him to do ninety five.
• 5:24
  Tell him to not be so fit in
• 5:25
  the open then.
• 5:26
  Yeah.
• 5:27
  I think what it is,
• 5:28
  is there there's no age
• 5:29
  groups in the community cup.
• 5:31
  Correct.
• 5:32
  So all the scalings are
• 5:33
  based on the elite group.
• 5:36
  The elite division.
• 5:38
  And so it's different than
• 5:39
  what the age groups
• 5:40
  experienced in the open.
• 5:42
  Yeah.
• 5:45
  Yeah, it was.
• 5:46
  And so I had like,
• 5:47
  I had a teenager and I had
• 5:49
  Jim and I had my mother-in-law.
• 5:51
  So both opposite ends of the
• 5:53
  spectrum where I was like,
• 5:55
  I will just level it for you.
• 5:57
  So they didn't actually sign
• 5:58
  up for the community cup.
• 6:00
  If you want to still like try to do it.
• 6:03
  And it was, it was fine.
• 6:05
  It just,
• 6:05
  they really need to consider
• 6:07
  adding the age group in my opinion.
• 6:11
  Lana said so tough for me at seventy six.
• 6:14
  I was intermediate.
• 6:15
  Yeah.
• 6:17
  And if you've been following along,
• 6:18
  Corey Leonard uses ab mats
• 6:20
  for his age group, too.
• 6:22
  Oh, that's good, Lex.
• 6:24
  I laughed at that because I
• 6:25
  just finished listening to
• 6:26
  that lunch show yesterday and I was like,
• 6:31
  wait, why is Corey using an ab mat?
• 6:35
  So it was actually a garden
• 6:37
  mat like the thinner one.
• 6:39
  really squishy ones not that
• 6:41
  there's an excuse for it
• 6:42
  any pat on your head is not
• 6:44
  allowed right unless you
• 6:45
  rise your hands up to meet
• 6:46
  it right um I got that he
• 6:50
  should know better that's
• 6:52
  what I said so many dms
• 6:53
  yeah and then he was mad
• 6:57
  that he only got like he
• 6:59
  got certain time off and
• 7:00
  I'm like you're lucky it's
• 7:01
  not just an invalid video
• 7:02
  because to me normally
• 7:03
  that's an invalid video
• 7:04
  agreed like it's not just time off
• 7:08
  Normally they want to count.
• 7:09
  We're not talking about you.
• 7:13
  We're ripping you apart right now, Corey.
• 7:17
  Yeah.
• 7:18
  So Corey just makes up his workout anyway.
• 7:20
  He'd read half the
• 7:22
  directions and then make up
• 7:23
  the rest and hope, hope it all fits.
• 7:29
  Um,
• 7:30
  Our gym did the community workouts Monday,
• 7:33
  Wednesday, and Friday this week.
• 7:34
  Okay.
• 7:35
  So we put them into the
• 7:36
  classes and it was good.
• 7:38
  The community liked it.
• 7:40
  Some of them just,
• 7:41
  we wrote all the versions
• 7:42
  on the board and then they
• 7:44
  just chose the one that
• 7:45
  they wanted to do.
• 7:46
  Like a lot of them didn't
• 7:47
  sign up for the community cup.
• 7:49
  Some of them did.
• 7:50
  And then they kept in their division.
• 7:51
  But for the majority of the
• 7:53
  members that we had that
• 7:54
  were just doing the classes those days,
• 7:56
  they just picked the
• 7:57
  appropriate one that they
• 7:58
  wanted to do and then stuck
• 7:59
  to that version.
• 8:00
  um they enjoyed it a lot of
• 8:02
  prs on the front squat one
• 8:03
  on friday um and the hang power clean so
• 8:08
  The idea of it is good.
• 8:09
  I agree.
• 8:11
  It's not the right time
• 8:12
  where there's a bunch of
• 8:13
  semifinals going on.
• 8:15
  The promotion of it wasn't as good.
• 8:17
  I think a good time would
• 8:18
  have been in July, maybe,
• 8:20
  when the semifinals are all
• 8:23
  done in May and June.
• 8:25
  Or a little bit later in
• 8:26
  June when it's a little bit
• 8:27
  more dead period of the CrossFit stuff.
• 8:30
  And then you can kind of
• 8:32
  push it a little bit more.
• 8:33
  But our members liked it.
• 8:38
  Cross that S would,
• 8:39
  would buy and be better if
• 8:41
  the community cup just
• 8:42
  scaled the last chance qualifier.
• 8:45
  I think it totally would.
• 8:48
  I think that would have been, first of all,
• 8:50
  I think a lift in a
• 8:52
  community cup is silly.
• 8:56
  Just everyone.
• 9:02
  Like I have thoughts about,
• 9:03
  should we have the last chance qualifier,
• 9:04
  which we're going to get
• 9:05
  into later in the show.
• 9:08
  And what that should look like.
• 9:09
  But I do,
• 9:11
  if on the face of what this question is,
• 9:13
  I think you'd get a lot
• 9:14
  more buy-in if you combine
• 9:16
  the two together.
• 9:19
  so selfishly like I would
• 9:22
  have liked to have done one
• 9:24
  or two workouts and even
• 9:25
  like even to share with
• 9:26
  carolyn and I there was
• 9:27
  like no way I was going to
• 9:28
  be able to do any of them
• 9:30
  also trying to set up for
• 9:31
  this community cup for the
• 9:32
  gym and stuff and so I I
• 9:34
  think it was a terrible
• 9:35
  weekend father's day
• 9:36
  weekend you're doing it the
• 9:38
  same time and I get it like
• 9:40
  twenty people competed in
• 9:41
  the last chance qualifier
• 9:42
  so it doesn't really affect
• 9:43
  that so much but like I
• 9:44
  would have liked to do some
• 9:45
  of the last chance qualifier workouts
• 9:48
  for fun or to help Carolyn
• 9:50
  with scores or any reason.
• 9:51
  And that wasn't doable with it being,
• 9:53
  and had it been leveled out,
• 9:54
  I would have just done them.
• 9:56
  It was so hard to find
• 9:57
  judges this weekend.
• 9:58
  It was incredibly hard.
• 10:01
  And I got six people to have
• 10:04
  their advanced courses with
• 10:05
  their level one and everything.
• 10:06
  And I swear all of them had
• 10:08
  stuff to do this weekend.
• 10:09
  Like for Father's Day weekend,
• 10:10
  they're away.
• 10:13
  High school reunions,
• 10:14
  like anything was happening this weekend.
• 10:17
  Like it was,
• 10:18
  It was shit show.
• 10:20
  It's just so hard on the
• 10:21
  athletes to have these two judges.
• 10:23
  Like I wish I wish I wasn't
• 10:25
  such a burden to like other
• 10:26
  people's schedules and
• 10:27
  everything like that.
• 10:28
  And I could just film my
• 10:29
  workouts and submit and not
• 10:30
  have to worry about two
• 10:33
  people that are have all
• 10:35
  these qualifications.
• 10:36
  Like it definitely puts a
• 10:37
  lot of people at a disadvantage.
• 10:40
  I, yeah, I agree with that.
• 10:41
  Like I almost like a, Hey,
• 10:43
  I'm just going to submit my video.
• 10:45
  Like I trust my movement,
• 10:47
  judge me super hard on video, but like,
• 10:49
  here you go.
• 10:49
  Here's my video.
• 10:50
  Like, yeah, so much easier.
• 10:54
  Yeah.
• 10:54
  I do that all the time in
• 10:55
  online qualifiers where like, I just,
• 10:57
  I just do them.
• 10:58
  I film them and then I
• 10:59
  submit my video with it.
• 11:00
  And it's like, okay, judge me.
• 11:02
  Like,
• 11:02
  I don't have time to wait around on
• 11:04
  people's stuff.
• 11:04
  Like if I'm coming directly
• 11:05
  after school and I'm the
• 11:07
  only one in the gym, like,
• 11:09
  I'm not going to have a
• 11:11
  judge there half the time.
• 11:12
  So I just, yeah,
• 11:13
  I always just film and then send.
• 11:16
  So two things,
• 11:18
  anything you schedule from
• 11:19
  Memorial Day to Labor Day,
• 11:21
  you're going to have a hard time.
• 11:23
  It's true.
• 11:24
  Families are on vacations.
• 11:25
  They're, you know,
• 11:26
  people are in and out of
• 11:27
  the gym all summer long and
• 11:30
  it makes it just harder.
• 11:31
  It's the pool is shallower
• 11:33
  to pull from to get judges, et cetera.
• 11:36
  The other thing is,
• 11:38
  Why two judges when you have,
• 11:41
  as Lex put it,
• 11:42
  seven men and twelve women
• 11:43
  do the last chance qualifier?
• 11:45
  You should be able to do
• 11:46
  full video review of all
• 11:48
  nineteen people and all five videos.
• 11:51
  Absolutely.
• 11:52
  I think it's nine and
• 11:54
  fifteen or something like
• 11:56
  that for the numbers.
• 11:56
  But still, it's yeah.
• 11:59
  I mean,
• 11:59
  we've already done eight workouts
• 12:02
  all against each other online.
• 12:03
  So I just don't know what
• 12:05
  the point of these last
• 12:06
  chance qualifiers are.
• 12:09
  You could just take all
• 12:10
  those athletes that didn't qualify,
• 12:12
  put all their scores together,
• 12:14
  and then just take the top
• 12:15
  person of those eight
• 12:17
  workouts just against each other,
• 12:20
  and boom, they're on.
• 12:22
  They've proven themselves, let's say,
• 12:23
  in person or in some sort of capacity,
• 12:27
  plus the Open, and there you go.
• 12:30
  Well,
• 12:30
  that gives you – that gives the
• 12:32
  argument also towards
• 12:35
  programming being the same
• 12:37
  amongst all the –
• 12:38
  semi-finals because you
• 12:40
  would just you would just
• 12:40
  know right if you wanted to
• 12:44
  take a last uh like final
• 12:46
  person out of that you
• 12:47
  would just have and maybe
• 12:48
  it's only two or three like
• 12:50
  we did heavy is about
• 12:51
  basically but so maybe it's
• 12:52
  like three workouts at
• 12:54
  every are the same and then
• 12:56
  like three randoms that
• 12:58
  cups want to do the semis
• 13:00
  want to do themselves and
• 13:01
  then you use those scores
• 13:04
  I think it's hard when when
• 13:05
  people do them on different
• 13:06
  weekends different sure
• 13:09
  boring different spacing
• 13:11
  between the movements I
• 13:12
  think the only way that you
• 13:13
  could use those scores for
• 13:14
  the last for like a last
• 13:15
  chance qualifier is open
• 13:17
  and online semis where you
• 13:19
  have eight scored events
• 13:22
  that's it yeah yeah you
• 13:25
  could have taken those but
• 13:27
  you might as well just give
• 13:28
  it to the extra spot in the
• 13:29
  online semis then almost
• 13:32
  I would argue someone's more
• 13:34
  well-rounded if you count
• 13:36
  the open ones because these
• 13:37
  are all high-skilled workouts.
• 13:40
  None of these workouts this
• 13:41
  weekend were really
• 13:43
  difficult on the engine.
• 13:45
  It's all upper body stuff.
• 13:50
  I think there's a press in
• 13:51
  every single one of the workouts.
• 13:52
  The open styles a lot of
• 13:54
  times are different style
• 13:55
  of workouts where people
• 13:56
  can get exposed in...
• 13:59
  other other styles of things
• 14:00
  and not just high skill
• 14:02
  higher weights so I think
• 14:04
  counting the three open
• 14:06
  workouts could be valuable
• 14:08
  to see an overall fitness
• 14:11
  and not just the high skill
• 14:15
  I think the whole last
• 14:15
  chance qualifier needs to
• 14:16
  be revamped yep we've
• 14:19
  already dove into it let's
• 14:20
  dive in even more we'll
• 14:22
  finish this up and we'll
• 14:23
  talk about what we think could be better
• 14:26
  But there's been low turnout
• 14:27
  for the last chance qualifier.
• 14:30
  You said it, Carolyn,
• 14:31
  like nine and fifteen have
• 14:33
  submitted scores.
• 14:34
  Now there's more on the leaderboard,
• 14:37
  but like a handful from
• 14:38
  each group did not submit
• 14:39
  scores even at the first deadline.
• 14:44
  Well, you have one spot.
• 14:45
  That is weird.
• 14:52
  Um,
• 14:53
  so the one thing that was brought up
• 14:55
  this morning by Jr was that
• 14:59
  now you see the, the,
• 15:01
  the first three scores,
• 15:02
  some of those people do not
• 15:04
  have a chance unless like
• 15:07
  everybody got penalties.
• 15:08
  Right.
• 15:09
  Right.
• 15:11
  if they don't submit the
• 15:12
  second score and the
• 15:14
  barbell spin pointed this out as well,
• 15:16
  then the first three scores
• 15:17
  get weighted heavier than
• 15:19
  the last two scores.
• 15:20
  And then you have one big
• 15:22
  cluster going on in the scoring system.
• 15:26
  It was suggested that if you
• 15:28
  do not submit all five scores,
• 15:30
  you should be taken off the
• 15:31
  leaderboard completely.
• 15:33
  So all the scores are weighted the same.
• 15:38
  Yeah.
• 15:38
  They're never going to do that.
• 15:40
  That's like saying they
• 15:41
  should have taken Guy and
• 15:42
  Elisa Fuliano scores out of
• 15:44
  these other comps because
• 15:45
  they impacted the leaderboard.
• 15:47
  Like they're not going to do that.
• 15:51
  It's so lazy.
• 15:53
  I mean,
• 15:53
  it would be easy to do with this
• 15:55
  few of athletes in the field.
• 15:57
  I think that that would be
• 15:58
  the right thing to do would be to,
• 16:00
  to zero out the scores,
• 16:02
  but the turnout is so low.
• 16:03
  Cause you only have one spot.
• 16:04
  So you look at the workouts
• 16:06
  and you're like,
• 16:07
  I don't have that like a chance.
• 16:09
  I mean,
• 16:09
  I looked at them and I knew that
• 16:11
  they weren't good for me.
• 16:11
  And I just,
• 16:12
  I signed up because I don't
• 16:13
  have many years left of competing.
• 16:15
  And I felt like I still
• 16:16
  earned the last chance qualifier spot.
• 16:18
  So I'm like, okay,
• 16:20
  I will finish up this part
• 16:21
  of my year and do the best
• 16:23
  that I can knowing that I
• 16:26
  had some weakness stuff in
• 16:28
  these workouts.
• 16:29
  Like I know I'm not getting
• 16:30
  like that top spot,
• 16:31
  but for a lot of other
• 16:33
  people that are younger,
• 16:34
  have other things that
• 16:35
  they're training for.
• 16:37
  I mean,
• 16:37
  why would you sign up and pay
• 16:38
  seventy five bucks if you
• 16:39
  know you're not getting that spot?
• 16:41
  Like it's.
• 16:42
  So it's funny when I looked
• 16:45
  at the workouts,
• 16:45
  and you kind of go radio
• 16:48
  silent on us when you're
• 16:50
  competing on the weekend.
• 16:52
  So we don't have any clue how you're doing,
• 16:56
  just so the audience knows.
• 16:58
  We have no intel on how
• 17:00
  you're doing or how it's going.
• 17:03
  You kind of just go off by yourself,
• 17:05
  and we respect that.
• 17:08
  I looked at the workouts and I thought,
• 17:10
  Carolyn's going to do the first workout,
• 17:12
  see how the double unders go,
• 17:13
  and decide if she's going
• 17:14
  to put the seventy five bucks in.
• 17:17
  And then not until she knows
• 17:20
  how the double unders went,
• 17:22
  will she invest the money.
• 17:24
  Then when I saw you show up
• 17:25
  on the leaderboard, I went,
• 17:26
  double unders must have
• 17:28
  went better than anticipated.
• 17:30
  You know,
• 17:31
  I actually didn't have a bad day
• 17:32
  of double unders.
• 17:33
  Like my first two rounds
• 17:34
  were like unbroken.
• 17:35
  And that's so good for me.
• 17:39
  Round three, not as good.
• 17:42
  And then round four went back to like bad.
• 17:47
  I just need to like,
• 17:49
  I'm not there yet with the
• 17:51
  volume of double unders
• 17:53
  with my newer technique.
• 17:57
  Once I start getting a
• 17:58
  little bit of shoulder fatigue,
• 18:00
  then I just start resorting
• 18:01
  back to what I know or what
• 18:04
  I shouldn't know.
• 18:05
  I don't know what to do.
• 18:08
  Um,
• 18:08
  yeah, that, that event was bad.
• 18:12
  I think I was like last.
• 18:14
  You were not last,
• 18:15
  but you were not first by for sure.
• 18:21
  Um, so how did the workouts go overall?
• 18:24
  You've done all of them, I assume,
• 18:26
  unless you're doing a
• 18:27
  midnight run of something tonight.
• 18:29
  No, no.
• 18:31
  Uh,
• 18:32
  First one, honestly, for me,
• 18:34
  it wasn't that bad.
• 18:36
  I think if I did that number one last year,
• 18:40
  I would be a minute to two
• 18:42
  minutes slower just because
• 18:44
  I would be like hunched over,
• 18:47
  breathing with such high anxiety,
• 18:50
  missing even more on the
• 18:51
  first and second round.
• 18:54
  Yeah,
• 18:57
  I had a lot of trouble this weekend
• 18:59
  getting mentally into the workouts,
• 19:01
  to be honest.
• 19:04
  I didn't even warm up for
• 19:06
  the burpee row one.
• 19:08
  I just kind of practiced my
• 19:10
  burpee over the rower and
• 19:12
  just went for it.
• 19:14
  I knew that that one would be good for me.
• 19:16
  I'm good with burpees and hinging.
• 19:19
  So I just kind of did that one.
• 19:21
  I think I got third in that one.
• 19:24
  The ring muscle-up one,
• 19:26
  I'm good at ring muscle-ups.
• 19:27
  The shoulder fatigue from...
• 19:31
  I mean, everything was shoulders.
• 19:33
  This entire thing was all upper body.
• 19:36
  The first one is engine and
• 19:37
  shoulders for the clean and
• 19:39
  jerks and double-unders.
• 19:40
  The second one,
• 19:41
  the limiting factor was burpees and again,
• 19:43
  shoulder pressing.
• 19:45
  The third one,
• 19:46
  you have ring muscle-ups and
• 19:47
  overhead squats, shoulders.
• 19:49
  The fourth one,
• 19:50
  you'd have more shoulders
• 19:51
  with the wall balls and
• 19:52
  then climbing a rope.
• 19:53
  So you have pulling that
• 19:54
  being like the rope is the,
• 19:56
  is the workout.
• 19:57
  And then the last one is all
• 19:58
  about the handstand pushups.
• 19:59
  So this entire like five workouts,
• 20:01
  it's just all been shoulders really.
• 20:04
  Like I'm,
• 20:05
  I miss the workouts that like
• 20:06
  test the legs.
• 20:07
  I just feel like we're putting so much,
• 20:09
  and these are great tests, great tests.
• 20:11
  I just feel like we're not
• 20:12
  testing legs anymore.
• 20:14
  Like there's no,
• 20:16
  there was no workout that
• 20:17
  was so hard on the engine,
• 20:19
  maybe a little bit number two.
• 20:21
  They're all like higher skill,
• 20:23
  just like if you have the movements,
• 20:25
  stamina.
• 20:26
  I think that they're missing
• 20:28
  a dense lower body workout.
• 20:31
  Judy Reed asks the question,
• 20:33
  were you burnt out from last weekend?
• 20:36
  Not physically, I think mentally.
• 20:40
  Physically, I felt fine this weekend.
• 20:43
  Mentally, I think I was still...
• 20:48
  not quite over last weekend
• 20:50
  and everything that
• 20:52
  happened even after that was,
• 20:54
  it's been kind of like a roller coaster,
• 20:58
  but physically I felt fine this weekend.
• 21:00
  Like I took Monday,
• 21:02
  Tuesday and Wednesday off
• 21:04
  fully and then went for the
• 21:07
  workouts Thursday after work.
• 21:11
  So a couple of things we
• 21:12
  found out this week about
• 21:13
  the last chance qualifier
• 21:15
  is the final review will be
• 21:17
  done by this coming Friday.
• 21:22
  That the review is
• 21:23
  apparently being done by CrossFit.
• 21:27
  And my question about that
• 21:28
  is they've been very hands-off.
• 21:31
  Now, all of a sudden,
• 21:31
  they're going to be hands-on,
• 21:34
  which is very conflicting to me.
• 21:37
  And then CrossFit made the
• 21:38
  decision to reveal the
• 21:39
  leaderboard on Saturday
• 21:40
  night that to hustle up,
• 21:42
  people actually wanted to
• 21:43
  keep it a blind leaderboard
• 21:45
  until the end of the weekend.
• 21:47
  Do you think that matters to
• 21:48
  what happens this weekend?
• 21:51
  Like if people post their
• 21:52
  second or their fourth and fifth?
• 21:55
  Hustle Up was not going to
• 21:56
  reveal the scores at all
• 21:58
  until the end of the weekend.
• 22:00
  Yeah,
• 22:00
  I had emailed Hustle Up early in the
• 22:02
  week and I had asked that
• 22:03
  particular question.
• 22:04
  I was like, is this a blind leaderboard?
• 22:07
  And Facundo had replied back
• 22:12
  to me and he said, yes,
• 22:13
  it'll be a blind leaderboard.
• 22:14
  And then the day after he goes, hey,
• 22:16
  just to follow up on that,
• 22:18
  it's not going to be a blind leaderboard,
• 22:19
  just letting you know.
• 22:23
  So I knew, I knew prior.
• 22:25
  Yeah.
• 22:25
  At least that.
• 22:28
  Yeah.
• 22:29
  So he went back to email me
• 22:31
  the following day to let me know.
• 22:32
  So I knew, I knew before the,
• 22:34
  the workouts got released,
• 22:37
  went like that.
• 22:37
  It wasn't going to be blind.
• 22:43
  Judy also says,
• 22:44
  I feel for athletes like
• 22:45
  Carolyn and Nate having to
• 22:47
  go back to back,
• 22:48
  especially with how
• 22:49
  everything went down last weekend.
• 22:52
  And I think you and Nate
• 22:53
  were at the mental fatigue
• 22:55
  that had to take to be in
• 22:57
  it right up until the last
• 22:59
  second of the weekend had
• 23:01
  to drain you guys.
• 23:02
  Yeah, I think mentally, yeah.
• 23:10
  We also found out that the
• 23:11
  workouts were sent in from
• 23:12
  all over the world,
• 23:13
  and then they were curated
• 23:15
  by Facundo and Angelo DiCicco.
• 23:18
  And then they were tweaked
• 23:19
  to make sure that it was a complete test.
• 23:23
  So we know how much you love
• 23:25
  mayhem programming.
• 23:27
  I do.
• 23:28
  I do like mayhem.
• 23:30
  I know, but we have,
• 23:31
  we've been talking all
• 23:32
  season that mayhem has had
• 23:34
  their hands in everything.
• 23:36
  And here's another part of
• 23:38
  the season that may,
• 23:39
  that is mayhem driven.
• 23:42
  Yeah.
• 23:42
  Yeah.
• 23:44
  I knew it's funny because I
• 23:45
  knew right away when I saw
• 23:48
  the names of the programmers, I saw Rich,
• 23:49
  I knew right away there was
• 23:50
  going to be a workout with
• 23:51
  a hundred double unders and
• 23:54
  like in multiple sets.
• 23:55
  Cause he does that one on
• 23:57
  like a version of a hundred double unders,
• 23:59
  almost every qualifier I've seen him do.
• 24:02
  Like I remember a few,
• 24:03
  a few years ago for mayhem,
• 24:04
  there's a twenty minute one,
• 24:05
  another mayhem one.
• 24:07
  I knew the hundred double
• 24:07
  runners were coming as soon
• 24:08
  as I saw Rich.
• 24:10
  But yeah,
• 24:10
  I was wondering how they were
• 24:11
  putting that together.
• 24:12
  If it was CrossFit that put
• 24:13
  all those people together
• 24:15
  and then kind of tweaked the workouts.
• 24:16
  And then I read that it was
• 24:18
  Mayhem that put it all together.
• 24:20
  So again, not surprising.
• 24:21
  They're involved in a lot this year,
• 24:24
  everything.
• 24:27
  But yeah, they're good tests.
• 24:29
  They're very good workouts.
• 24:30
  I just...
• 24:32
  I just find we're missing legs.
• 24:35
  There were legs involved,
• 24:37
  but they had no impact on the workout.
• 24:40
  The overhead squats,
• 24:41
  you're not missing those
• 24:42
  reps of overhead squats
• 24:43
  because of your legs.
• 24:44
  It's all about the shoulders
• 24:46
  stabilizing from the ring muscle-ups.
• 24:48
  The lunges were no issue in that workout.
• 24:51
  It was just the front rack
• 24:52
  maybe could tire you out
• 24:54
  for the handstand push-ups,
• 24:56
  but the lunges were easy.
• 25:00
  And the wall balls...
• 25:01
  it's mostly upper body it's
• 25:03
  it's that one is really
• 25:05
  about um the legless so I
• 25:08
  just find that like you're
• 25:09
  missing a test that's
• 25:12
  limiting by the legs
• 25:15
  To me,
• 25:15
  the legs are such an important part
• 25:17
  of fitness.
• 25:17
  It's the biggest part, I think,
• 25:19
  of fitness and just athleticism.
• 25:21
  And I find that CrossFit is
• 25:23
  starting to go into a lot
• 25:24
  more just upper body push-pull.
• 25:27
  If you have upper body
• 25:28
  high-skill push-pull stamina,
• 25:30
  you're doing great in this
• 25:31
  sport with some strength.
• 25:34
  That's the most important
• 25:35
  thing that we value in CrossFit.
• 25:39
  Doug Reed, if it's mayhem,
• 25:41
  be ready for double-unders in GHD.
• 25:43
  For sure.
• 25:47
  I'm just still behind.
• 25:48
  It's going to take a while
• 25:50
  for me to get better.
• 25:55
  You finished Saturday night.
• 25:56
  You were in fifth.
• 26:00
  Do you feel like you have a
• 26:02
  shot to get the last spot?
• 26:07
  No.
• 26:08
  I'll move down.
• 26:09
  The people that are behind
• 26:10
  me will be better at these
• 26:11
  workouts than me.
• 26:13
  I'll probably finish I think around
• 26:17
  don't know maybe seven to
• 26:19
  nine seven to ten because
• 26:21
  we're all just separated by
• 26:22
  like not many points um
• 26:27
  yeah I don't know I don't
• 26:29
  have a shot for these ones
• 26:30
  not for these workouts and
• 26:32
  the lead that yonakoski has
• 26:33
  on the men's side I don't
• 26:35
  think is I don't think is
• 26:36
  even possible unless he
• 26:38
  really really messes up
• 26:40
  Yeah, I don't see him losing that lead.
• 26:43
  I could see the girl in first losing it,
• 26:45
  though.
• 26:46
  I think that these are great
• 26:47
  workouts for Kyra.
• 26:49
  When they came out,
• 26:50
  I thought about Kyra right away,
• 26:51
  that these would be great for her.
• 26:53
  I think these last two,
• 26:54
  and Kyra and Lydia are tied right now.
• 26:58
  They could push.
• 26:58
  I just don't know the girl
• 27:00
  that's in first enough
• 27:02
  about her strengths and
• 27:02
  weaknesses for these last two.
• 27:05
  According to JR,
• 27:06
  she's not good at handstand
• 27:07
  push-ups at all.
• 27:09
  If that's the case,
• 27:10
  then I could see one of those two girls,
• 27:16
  maybe even the Jamie,
• 27:22
  possibly sneaking in there.
• 27:27
  But I feel like you only
• 27:28
  have that option if everyone,
• 27:29
  if all the girls do the
• 27:31
  workouts and submit their scores.
• 27:34
  If only the top five or six do,
• 27:36
  it might not really be
• 27:37
  enough to knock her down enough.
• 27:39
  Do you think that a lot of people won't?
• 27:41
  I feel like most people will.
• 27:45
  Some of the people lower on
• 27:46
  the leaderboard have
• 27:47
  submitted their scores already.
• 27:49
  Good.
• 27:49
  Well, that's good.
• 27:52
  I checked it right before we
• 27:53
  went on the air.
• 27:54
  There was, I think,
• 27:55
  six that have submitted
• 27:57
  their scores already.
• 27:59
  Okay.
• 28:02
  And none of the top
• 28:04
  five had submit your score
• 28:09
  carolyn I don't want to it
• 28:14
  was bad my wall facing just
• 28:18
  went to poop I think it'll
• 28:20
  go to poop for a lot of
• 28:21
  people uh it I mean I think
• 28:25
  jr said this it's kind of
• 28:26
  like that quarterfinal or
• 28:28
  was it semifinals workout
• 28:29
  And that was only ten,
• 28:31
  and people were failing and
• 28:32
  unable to get.
• 28:33
  I think that was twenty.
• 28:34
  Was it twenty?
• 28:35
  Yeah, I remember it being twenty.
• 28:37
  I have twenty in my mind.
• 28:39
  It wasn't a lot, and people were failing.
• 28:41
  Yeah.
• 28:43
  Yeah, I failed a couple there tonight.
• 28:46
  I mean.
• 28:49
  Mole says we are rooting for you, CP.
• 28:54
  I mean,
• 28:54
  I gave it my best shot on these workouts.
• 28:56
  That's where these ones were
• 28:57
  for my strengths and weaknesses.
• 29:00
  Keeping it real,
• 29:01
  we're going to get to that
• 29:02
  in just about forty five seconds.
• 29:07
  So the last thing I want to
• 29:08
  say about last chance qualifier.
• 29:11
  And another reason that like
• 29:12
  we are going backward in
• 29:13
  this sport is not being
• 29:15
  able to see any of the
• 29:16
  workouts and to see like I
• 29:18
  would love to go see what
• 29:20
  Yona is doing to be back
• 29:23
  after a couple of subpar
• 29:24
  performances this year.
• 29:26
  Like, why does he look so good in this?
• 29:28
  And I cannot see it.
• 29:30
  I wouldn't say sub subpar.
• 29:32
  He was third.
• 29:35
  One spot out.
• 29:36
  I know I'm giving,
• 29:36
  I'm being a little hard on him.
• 29:39
  Yeah, but he's like, but he's a perennial.
• 29:42
  Right.
• 29:43
  Like you, like I expected Nate to be,
• 29:46
  I did not expect it to be
• 29:47
  that big of a point spread.
• 29:48
  I would think their workouts
• 29:49
  would be similar and it'd
• 29:51
  be a three point to three point spread.
• 29:53
  So yeah,
• 29:54
  I would love to see his workout
• 29:55
  and see his,
• 29:57
  what he did differently.
• 29:59
  And then we taught,
• 29:59
  we've talked about that a lot,
• 30:01
  especially like in the masters,
• 30:03
  not having public
• 30:04
  leaderboards is a problem.
• 30:07
  You, you as a competitor,
• 30:09
  can't see you're robbed of
• 30:12
  the in-person fine, whatever we get it.
• 30:14
  It costs money.
• 30:15
  Okay.
• 30:15
  But don't rob us of seeing
• 30:18
  our peers do the workout.
• 30:21
  It's the only way a fan can
• 30:22
  watch the sport.
• 30:23
  Yeah.
• 30:26
  fans and the athletes,
• 30:27
  they both need that opportunity.
• 30:30
  Yeah.
• 30:30
  And you learn a lot watching
• 30:31
  your competitors videos too,
• 30:33
  because you're like,
• 30:34
  I didn't think that was possible,
• 30:35
  but gosh, that person was good here.
• 30:37
  And their transition was like this.
• 30:39
  And then you can kind of
• 30:40
  study how to get better yourself,
• 30:42
  especially when you don't
• 30:43
  train with a lot of people.
• 30:45
  Yep.
• 30:45
  Um,
• 30:46
  there's a lot of value in seeing other
• 30:47
  videos and being like, wow, this,
• 30:49
  this person really crushed that workout.
• 30:51
  And I thought I did well, but I didn't,
• 30:54
  you know?
• 30:54
  Um,
• 30:56
  And it just validates their
• 30:57
  score where you're like, okay,
• 30:58
  this is legit.
• 31:00
  When you take the woman in first place,
• 31:03
  nobody really knows her.
• 31:05
  This would have been an
• 31:06
  opportunity for her to get
• 31:07
  exposure and for people to
• 31:08
  go watch to see how good
• 31:10
  she was in those first three events.
• 31:12
  That being said...
• 31:15
  Her videos should be public.
• 31:16
  And that's something else
• 31:17
  that frustrates the heck out of me.
• 31:20
  I see Tom,
• 31:20
  they pulled it up earlier with Siobhan.
• 31:23
  I see Tom King Dunn's are public.
• 31:25
  And I think...
• 31:27
  I think so if you go to my
• 31:29
  page I have every video
• 31:32
  public if I do a comp
• 31:34
  they're public you can go
• 31:35
  look at my community cup
• 31:36
  workouts I don't hide those
• 31:38
  from people and I don't
• 31:39
  think that any athlete that
• 31:42
  says that like carolyn I
• 31:44
  think your videos should be
• 31:44
  public that like I put them
• 31:47
  out there because I preach
• 31:49
  that they should be out
• 31:49
  there public and I just
• 31:52
  think all the athletes
• 31:53
  should just do it and
• 31:56
  move well and don't be
• 31:57
  scared of Hiller and they
• 31:59
  should just be public,
• 32:00
  like take it upon ourselves
• 32:01
  to make them public.
• 32:02
  If, if CrossFit's not going to force it.
• 32:09
  And Jamie has been very
• 32:10
  consistent about that for the last,
• 32:12
  since she's been a part of the show.
• 32:14
  Correct.
• 32:17
  So what got us to this point was last week,
• 32:20
  Carolyn, you were at NorCal.
• 32:24
  was an emotional end for you
• 32:25
  we didn't ask you to come
• 32:26
  on the show we understood
• 32:27
  everything there I want to
• 32:30
  get your your take on some
• 32:31
  of the stuff there you
• 32:32
  finished third came down to
• 32:35
  matter of microseconds or
• 32:38
  the length of the workout
• 32:40
  I'm keeping it real ass
• 32:41
  would you have hit that
• 32:42
  clean I know what you've
• 32:44
  told jamie and I and I know
• 32:48
  that your max clean is two fifty five
• 32:52
  well above what that clean
• 32:54
  was would you have hit the
• 32:57
  clean I don't miss two
• 32:59
  twenty five like on any
• 33:02
  given week it was like I
• 33:03
  ran to the barbell I
• 33:05
  switched the ten I got to
• 33:07
  the other ten and they're
• 33:08
  like five I stay I took one
• 33:10
  step back four three my
• 33:12
  hands are on the bar and I
• 33:13
  just like I wouldn't even
• 33:15
  if I stood it it was past
• 33:17
  the time cap like I just
• 33:19
  let it go like you you weren't
• 33:22
  weren't lifting that in
• 33:23
  three seconds like my hands
• 33:24
  were on the bar at three I
• 33:25
  just missed time um didn't
• 33:29
  distressed it a little bit
• 33:30
  too long on the legless and
• 33:31
  ran out of time the time
• 33:33
  cap was very very tight
• 33:35
  there I wish they gave two
• 33:37
  extra minutes I think one
• 33:39
  is I needed I mean I needed
• 33:41
  less than one but just for
• 33:42
  more people to finish the
• 33:44
  wad I think if you do two
• 33:46
  extra minutes there's a lot
• 33:48
  of ties that just kind of goes away
• 33:52
  Um,
• 33:52
  but you don't have a clock on the floor
• 33:54
  too,
• 33:54
  to kind of look at your times between
• 33:56
  the legless rope climbs and everything.
• 33:58
  Like my competitors that I was like,
• 34:00
  that I was going against Holta and, um,
• 34:03
  Hattie are,
• 34:05
  are significantly better than
• 34:06
  me on the legless.
• 34:08
  So I knew that they were
• 34:09
  going to be ahead of me,
• 34:12
  the entire wad there.
• 34:14
  So originally I was just
• 34:15
  banking on the two thirty
• 34:16
  five and I was like, I can hit that.
• 34:19
  And I don't know if they will.
• 34:22
  And I was like,
• 34:23
  I can go as slow as I want
• 34:24
  because I didn't even know
• 34:25
  it was a seven minute time
• 34:26
  cap until I just didn't
• 34:28
  even look it on the
• 34:28
  competition corner until
• 34:31
  maybe an hour before.
• 34:32
  And I was like,
• 34:33
  that's a fast time cap
• 34:35
  because I knew that the
• 34:35
  other divisions were going
• 34:37
  and they're not even
• 34:38
  finishing and changing their own weights.
• 34:40
  I'm like, this is really fast.
• 34:43
  And then the first heat went
• 34:44
  and no one finished.
• 34:44
  And I was like,
• 34:45
  I don't think people are going to finish.
• 34:47
  And this is going to become
• 34:48
  a legless rope climb event.
• 34:49
  And I was like, ah,
• 34:50
  and then they lowered the weights.
• 34:50
  And I was like, no, cause I wanted the two,
• 34:53
  fifteen second bar too,
• 34:55
  because that makes a
• 34:57
  difference in terms of the
• 34:58
  speed of stuff.
• 35:00
  Um, yeah,
• 35:01
  I just wish we could have had a
• 35:02
  proper finish.
• 35:03
  You talked about it plenty of times.
• 35:05
  Um,
• 35:06
  so that like we could have looked at
• 35:08
  each other.
• 35:10
  know and it's like all right
• 35:11
  who's gonna do it right um
• 35:14
  because I think she had
• 35:14
  just missed a rep maybe one
• 35:16
  or two reps I wasn't sure
• 35:18
  um and it would have been
• 35:20
  cool to just like I mean
• 35:21
  twenty more seconds or ten
• 35:22
  seconds more where I can
• 35:23
  just like actually back up
• 35:25
  tighten the belt and then
• 35:26
  actually get set up for it
• 35:28
  and then with her setting
• 35:30
  up at the same time like
• 35:31
  that would have been an
• 35:31
  epic finish and I just feel like we were
• 35:34
  just robbed of that finish.
• 35:36
  Cause it, I mean,
• 35:37
  if they didn't have a
• 35:37
  tiebreaker on that event,
• 35:38
  there's a lot of times
• 35:39
  where they don't have a
• 35:40
  tiebreaker on and it's just your score.
• 35:44
  Like if they don't have a tiebreaker,
• 35:45
  it's a different outcome as well.
• 35:46
  Like there were so many different,
• 35:48
  like it just happened to be
• 35:49
  that the box jump was,
• 35:51
  she was ahead of me the whole time though,
• 35:53
  because of the legless that
• 35:54
  she has much better than me.
• 35:56
  But I felt like I have a
• 35:57
  better clean than her.
• 35:59
  So I just didn't get to
• 36:00
  showcase that part.
• 36:01
  I just ran out of time.
• 36:04
  And I'm not playing
• 36:04
  favorites because the two
• 36:06
  people I'm probably closest
• 36:07
  with in this whole sport
• 36:09
  were the two of you.
• 36:11
  And I wanted you both to get
• 36:12
  tickets and it just wasn't
• 36:14
  going to work out.
• 36:16
  Alex was so far out in front,
• 36:18
  and then it came down to you two.
• 36:22
  Hallie was on this channel
• 36:23
  for nine months doing her ballet show.
• 36:25
  You are a co-host of this show.
• 36:27
  I was torn,
• 36:29
  and I wanted you both to
• 36:30
  somehow tie and both get a ticket,
• 36:33
  and it was tough.
• 36:36
  But I know,
• 36:38
  looking at every one of your cleans,
• 36:41
  you are hitting them so
• 36:42
  easy compared to everybody else.
• 36:46
  Squat cleans is one of my
• 36:47
  favorite movements.
• 36:48
  Like that's probably my
• 36:49
  favorite movement to do is
• 36:50
  squat cleans over dead lifting,
• 36:54
  even though I'm probably
• 36:55
  better at dead lifting for reps,
• 36:56
  but I do really enjoy squat
• 36:59
  cleans like in general, the movement.
• 37:02
  Yeah.
• 37:03
  Just run out of time.
• 37:05
  Maybe if a clock was on the floor,
• 37:06
  I could have timed it better.
• 37:07
  I don't know.
• 37:09
  Just, yeah,
• 37:10
  there was a lot like after that event,
• 37:12
  there was just a lot of,
• 37:15
  things I was proud of for the weekend.
• 37:17
  Cause going into the weekend, like,
• 37:18
  you know,
• 37:19
  I looked at the list of the
• 37:20
  females and I was like,
• 37:21
  if everyone's healthy here and whatnot,
• 37:22
  like it's gonna be very
• 37:24
  difficult to get a top two,
• 37:25
  just like knowing where I
• 37:27
  am in my career and stuff.
• 37:28
  And a lot of people that are younger,
• 37:30
  like I didn't expect to be
• 37:32
  in the position I was.
• 37:35
  almost the whole weekend.
• 37:37
  And I was looking at Lex and I was like,
• 37:39
  I'm in the hunt.
• 37:41
  I was just competing well.
• 37:42
  I had a horrible day of
• 37:46
  Isabelle two or three times
• 37:48
  the week before.
• 37:49
  I would have got time capped,
• 37:50
  twelve minutes.
• 37:51
  I couldn't power snatch it.
• 37:53
  I was missing ten times in
• 37:56
  the Isabelle practices the week.
• 37:58
  I had zero confidence in my
• 38:00
  snatch going into the event.
• 38:02
  And then I powered
• 38:02
  twenty-eight out of them.
• 38:04
  wow on the floor and it's
• 38:05
  just like if I had a good
• 38:06
  power day it was good if I
• 38:08
  don't then it was going to
• 38:08
  be bad and I started off
• 38:10
  with that event and I was
• 38:11
  like okay here we go like I
• 38:14
  was like that wasn't that
• 38:14
  bad of a finish for me for
• 38:17
  um a workout that I don't
• 38:19
  wouldn't think that I would
• 38:20
  do particularly well and
• 38:22
  then some of the gymnastics
• 38:23
  one I ended up getting like
• 38:26
  second or third with the
• 38:28
  biker like things were just
• 38:30
  kind of going in my
• 38:31
  direction I was building momentum
• 38:34
  And then, yeah,
• 38:35
  the second or the last day
• 38:37
  was I knew that those workouts were,
• 38:40
  I had a couple things and
• 38:41
  then like the run that was
• 38:44
  going to be a little bit more difficult.
• 38:45
  I knew the girls that were
• 38:46
  around me were much better
• 38:47
  runners than me.
• 38:50
  that was a show on the start
• 38:52
  of the row my judge pointed
• 38:54
  me to the wrong rower so
• 38:56
  I'm on kristen holt's rower
• 38:58
  and my feet are stuck and
• 39:00
  she's waiting for me to get
• 39:01
  off and I just can't get my
• 39:03
  feet out because it's like
• 39:04
  I didn't get I didn't get
• 39:05
  set up properly and then
• 39:06
  I'm like oh my god I can't
• 39:07
  get my feet up I get to my
• 39:08
  rower and I can't get my
• 39:09
  feet in it took me twenty
• 39:11
  three seconds to even start
• 39:13
  rowing I was about a
• 39:14
  hundred and twenty five meters
• 39:18
  off of the people that were
• 39:19
  like beside me at the very
• 39:21
  start of that and I was
• 39:22
  like oh my god my overall
• 39:23
  time is going to be so bad
• 39:25
  right now but the road the
• 39:26
  road didn't matter like
• 39:28
  didn't impact my score
• 39:29
  because it's when you pull
• 39:30
  the handle it was set to a
• 39:32
  two cake down so that it
• 39:33
  would have a problem yeah
• 39:34
  so as soon as you pull the
• 39:35
  handle um but I don't know
• 39:38
  why don't do that
• 39:39
  but I couldn't I couldn't
• 39:40
  put my feet in it so I just
• 39:42
  had yeah so that that one
• 39:44
  right total yeah yeah it
• 39:48
  affects my overall but um
• 39:51
  not my row so that one I I
• 39:54
  I'm not I mean I lost a lot
• 39:56
  of points there that could
• 39:57
  have put me in a better
• 39:58
  position going into the final
• 40:01
  CrossFit says no clock on
• 40:02
  the floor is insane.
• 40:04
  Shelly Young,
• 40:05
  should have been a nine-minute time cap,
• 40:07
  especially with you
• 40:07
  changing your own weights.
• 40:09
  Phil B,
• 40:11
  if nobody finishes or just one athlete,
• 40:14
  that is a big miss,
• 40:15
  especially if the weights
• 40:16
  were programmed heavier in
• 40:17
  the first place.
• 40:20
  And then there's the big question,
• 40:22
  and we talked about this in our chat.
• 40:26
  And you were very adamant in our chat,
• 40:27
  and I want the people to know.
• 40:30
  Clock is asking,
• 40:31
  what if Alex withdraws from the games?
• 40:34
  By rule,
• 40:35
  you are the backfill from NorCal
• 40:38
  that would get that position.
• 40:39
  You said emphatically in our chat,
• 40:42
  that is not how you want a spot.
• 40:44
  You want to earn your spot.
• 40:47
  And you love Alex and you
• 40:49
  just wanted her to be okay.
• 40:51
  And so I wanted everybody to
• 40:52
  know you were saying that
• 40:54
  the minute the car accident happened, you,
• 40:56
  your thoughts were all on
• 40:57
  her and her being okay.
• 40:59
  Yeah, I mean, I was at the Games,
• 41:02
  Alex's first year.
• 41:05
  I think we both got cut that year.
• 41:08
  And then the following year,
• 41:08
  she got Rookie of the Year,
• 41:09
  I'm pretty sure.
• 41:10
  But I've just kind of seen her process.
• 41:12
  And, you know,
• 41:13
  I know Justin from all the competitions.
• 41:15
  And you've seen Alex's
• 41:16
  progress over the years.
• 41:18
  And...
• 41:19
  Seeing her win WFP,
• 41:20
  seeing her be dominant the
• 41:22
  way she was on the field at NorCal,
• 41:26
  you know she's on the
• 41:27
  trajectory to probably,
• 41:29
  if everything goes well at the games,
• 41:32
  the podium.
• 41:33
  Right.
• 41:35
  Like she's if Tia's not there,
• 41:37
  like possibly even could
• 41:38
  contend for that top spot.
• 41:40
  Like that's how good she's
• 41:41
  been looking this year.
• 41:42
  And she was even going to
• 41:44
  test workouts for me this weekend.
• 41:46
  Like she was like rooting
• 41:48
  for me a little bit like this weekend.
• 41:49
  And we had some great chats and she's like,
• 41:51
  whatever you need for the last chance,
• 41:52
  if you need some input,
• 41:53
  if you want me to test something,
• 41:55
  let me know.
• 41:57
  And then I hear that and I'm like, oh,
• 41:59
  my gosh, like what a crazy thing.
• 42:03
  thing to happen.
• 42:04
  And I was glad that she was, you know,
• 42:06
  alive at that.
• 42:08
  I wasn't sure the extent I
• 42:10
  had seen a comment on a YouTube video.
• 42:13
  It was like,
• 42:13
  she'd gone to head on car crash,
• 42:15
  like pray for Alex and Jake.
• 42:18
  And I was like,
• 42:19
  I messaged Lex and I was like,
• 42:23
  what's going on here I was
• 42:24
  like is this is this like a
• 42:25
  fake account like did
• 42:27
  something happen and then
• 42:29
  um Lex wrote to Justin and
• 42:33
  asked him if if there was
• 42:35
  something that had happened
• 42:36
  and then he had
• 42:36
  communicated with her that
• 42:38
  they had gone in an
• 42:39
  accident but they haven't
• 42:40
  released any information
• 42:41
  yet to anyone um but that
• 42:45
  like it,
• 42:46
  it was a bad accident and stuff
• 42:47
  like that.
• 42:48
  So yeah, I mean, it's,
• 42:50
  it just puts other things
• 42:52
  into perspective in your, in your life.
• 42:54
  Cause we're so, you know,
• 42:56
  focused on the sports,
• 42:57
  on the outcomes and stuff,
• 42:59
  but we're all humans at the
• 43:01
  end of the day and, you know,
• 43:02
  things can happen to anyone at any time.
• 43:04
  Like we're not invincible.
• 43:06
  So it just kind of, you know,
• 43:08
  It was sad, and I'm saddened for Alex.
• 43:13
  We've had some communication, her and I,
• 43:16
  the last few days.
• 43:18
  CrossFit has also called me
• 43:20
  on Tuesday night to
• 43:22
  essentially say to stay ready in case.
• 43:27
  Um,
• 43:28
  cause I wasn't sure what the process
• 43:29
  would be for that.
• 43:31
  If they go to a second place
• 43:32
  of the last chance qualifier,
• 43:34
  if they don't backfill, um,
• 43:37
  just like what that was for the process.
• 43:40
  Um,
• 43:41
  and they've extended the timeline for
• 43:43
  her.
• 43:43
  Um, I think she mentioned it to people.
• 43:46
  Cause I, I have a, I have a specific date,
• 43:48
  but I don't think it's my
• 43:49
  place to say the date, um,
• 43:51
  three weeks before the games.
• 43:53
  Okay.
• 43:54
  Yeah.
• 43:54
  So that line to withdraw.
• 43:57
  Yeah,
• 43:58
  so that's the deadline that the
• 44:01
  CrossFit Games team has given her.
• 44:04
  And her intentions are to
• 44:07
  put herself in the best
• 44:09
  position to go to the Games.
• 44:14
  But I think that she'll go
• 44:16
  to the Games if she's medically cleared.
• 44:20
  I don't think she'll
• 44:21
  jeopardize necessarily the
• 44:22
  rest of her season, like the WFP season.
• 44:26
  But she's also earned her
• 44:28
  right to the Games.
• 44:30
  So I'm not sure what she'll
• 44:31
  end up deciding and at what
• 44:32
  capacity she'll be at the Games.
• 44:36
  But in the things that I can control,
• 44:41
  I'll train as if I'm going to the Games.
• 44:44
  And if it happens, it happens.
• 44:46
  If it doesn't,
• 44:47
  then I'm also continuing to
• 44:48
  train for the Masters CrossFit Games.
• 44:52
  Does that actually make it
• 44:53
  easier because you qualified for masters?
• 44:57
  So you're going to be training anyway?
• 44:59
  I would train anyways, anyway.
• 45:02
  Like I train almost like the
• 45:03
  same way the entire year.
• 45:05
  I'll change.
• 45:07
  I'll just do a little bit
• 45:08
  more odd object things,
• 45:10
  more running in the summertime.
• 45:14
  But when I'm off work,
• 45:15
  like I have a few more weeks left of work,
• 45:18
  I...
• 45:20
  I have more time to train.
• 45:21
  Like the summer is when I
• 45:22
  can train more actually,
• 45:23
  cause I'm full time.
• 45:25
  Um, but I, I would train anyways.
• 45:28
  Like I'm, I'm,
• 45:28
  I could compete at any point
• 45:30
  in the year at a pretty good capacity.
• 45:33
  Like that's just how I always was.
• 45:35
  Like I don't take these long time off,
• 45:37
  like off, off of workout.
• 45:40
  Um,
• 45:41
  I might take a couple of days after a
• 45:42
  competition, like two to three days off.
• 45:44
  And then I,
• 45:47
  work out like I just I keep
• 45:48
  moving I don't think lex
• 45:50
  would let me take that much
• 45:51
  time off because she needs
• 45:53
  to move like every single
• 45:54
  day she'd be like get your
• 45:55
  butt in the gym with me uh
• 45:57
  craig says more jump roping
• 46:00
  yeah I want to add some
• 46:01
  more volume there um and
• 46:03
  definitely different types
• 46:04
  of ropes because for a long
• 46:06
  time I wasn't allowed to
• 46:07
  use any other types of rope
• 46:09
  because it ruins my
• 46:10
  technique like the drag
• 46:12
  rope or stuff like that
• 46:13
  because it changes the way that you
• 46:16
  have your hands or just will
• 46:18
  use your arms and your wrist.
• 46:21
  But I think I'll have to use
• 46:23
  different styles and just
• 46:24
  kind of up my volume of
• 46:27
  double unders as I prepare.
• 46:30
  Kipping it real says,
• 46:30
  I love Masters athletes
• 46:31
  making it to the regular games.
• 46:33
  It makes me feel better about aging.
• 46:40
  And there's been a lot of
• 46:41
  sentiment in the chat that
• 46:44
  Nobody wants Alex to get hurt,
• 46:45
  but if anybody was to fill her spot,
• 46:48
  they want it to be you.
• 46:51
  So, um, and a lot of people said that,
• 46:55
  but I didn't want to pull
• 46:56
  them all up just for, for sake of time.
• 46:59
  I did, I didn't have this on the agenda,
• 47:01
  but I did want to talk
• 47:02
  about one thing because
• 47:04
  someone brought it up in the cross fat,
• 47:06
  brought it up in the comments and it was,
• 47:09
  um, Justin made a post this week and, um,
• 47:16
  It really, really hit me hard.
• 47:18
  And so I wanna, I wanna share it.
• 47:25
  So what just he posted was,
• 47:27
  I'm not going to lie to you.
• 47:28
  This week was a tough one.
• 47:30
  Alex was in a serious car accident.
• 47:32
  And while it could have been much worse,
• 47:34
  the reality is the rest of
• 47:35
  her season is in jeopardy.
• 47:37
  And honestly, it's hit me hard.
• 47:39
  Over the last five years,
• 47:40
  I've watched athlete after athlete.
• 47:42
  I've coached to be right
• 47:43
  there on the verge,
• 47:45
  primed to do something
• 47:46
  special to CrossFit Games
• 47:48
  only for something out of
• 47:49
  their control or a freak accident,
• 47:52
  rip the rug out.
• 47:54
  In twenty twenty one,
• 47:56
  Bethany and Carrie got
• 47:57
  covid and missed the games.
• 47:59
  Both were potential podium finishers.
• 48:01
  In twenty three,
• 48:02
  it was Ricky primed to win
• 48:05
  with this with his shoulder injury.
• 48:07
  And now this season, Alex.
• 48:09
  And of course, on the personal side,
• 48:11
  my daughter's my daughter,
• 48:13
  Ivy's battle with IGA
• 48:14
  nephropathy has put life in
• 48:17
  real perspective.
• 48:18
  You want to be mad at the world.
• 48:19
  You want to throw your hands up and say,
• 48:22
  what the hell else?
• 48:23
  But here's the truth, the brutal truth.
• 48:25
  Life is just hard.
• 48:27
  It's hard, stacked on hard,
• 48:29
  stacked on hard.
• 48:30
  And if you're not good at the hard,
• 48:32
  if you can't endure it, learn from it,
• 48:34
  battle through it,
• 48:35
  you're never going to be
• 48:36
  around long enough to
• 48:37
  experience the good.
• 48:39
  The special moments that are
• 48:40
  so much more impactful
• 48:42
  because of the hard.
• 48:43
  So this post isn't about giving up.
• 48:45
  It's not about the setback.
• 48:47
  It's about how we respond.
• 48:49
  It's about how we keep
• 48:50
  showing up heartbroken, tired, sad, angry,
• 48:53
  and still find a way to fight.
• 48:55
  Because that's what life demands.
• 48:57
  And that's what we do.
• 48:59
  So this week has been a good reminder.
• 49:01
  Handle the hard well.
• 49:03
  And that's what I plan to do.
• 49:06
  And the first comment is Alex saying,
• 49:08
  love you.
• 49:09
  We're going to rise from it.
• 49:14
  so how do you not read that
• 49:14
  and just want to like run
• 49:16
  through a wall for like
• 49:16
  justin like like that just
• 49:18
  like you read that you just
• 49:19
  get like fired up by by
• 49:21
  justin's post like but what
• 49:24
  like the all those things
• 49:26
  that happen all those years
• 49:28
  all those competitors that
• 49:29
  were right there too it's
• 49:30
  crazy and yeah it's
• 49:36
  That's why I was so happy when,
• 49:38
  like for him, when Alex won the WFP,
• 49:42
  just from, you know,
• 49:44
  he's lost some athletes in
• 49:45
  the last couple of years.
• 49:47
  And, you know,
• 49:48
  some people have stuck with him.
• 49:49
  Some people have moved on
• 49:51
  and just to see him get that success, um,
• 49:55
  was really cool.
• 49:56
  And.
• 49:58
  Yeah, I mean, Alex is still so,
• 50:01
  so young and has so much ahead of her.
• 50:04
  And we're just beginning to
• 50:06
  see her potential right now.
• 50:08
  I think she's just starting
• 50:11
  to show us what she's capable of.
• 50:12
  And I think in the next few years,
• 50:17
  if she stays healthy,
• 50:20
  she'll be a force to...
• 50:23
  So I texted him when the
• 50:24
  news first broke and I said,
• 50:26
  I'm so sorry.
• 50:28
  Like Alex was really having
• 50:29
  one of those special seasons.
• 50:31
  And he says, yeah, it sucks,
• 50:34
  but we're going to have a
• 50:35
  whole lot of special seasons.
• 50:37
  And he has always said that about her.
• 50:39
  Yeah.
• 50:40
  Like there is something
• 50:41
  special about her and his confidence.
• 50:44
  Her has never waned even
• 50:46
  through all this stuff.
• 50:49
  he's a coach that just
• 50:50
  believes so much in his athletes and,
• 50:53
  and you just can't help but root for him.
• 50:57
  Yeah.
• 50:57
  Like his, his energy, his,
• 51:02
  his passion is just
• 51:05
  probably the best of any
• 51:07
  coach I've seen in the sport.
• 51:09
  Like it's so it's,
• 51:10
  it's really cool to see.
• 51:13
  So I know that they're going
• 51:14
  to be working hard to
• 51:17
  you know, get Alex back to,
• 51:18
  to where she was.
• 51:19
  And I'm sure there'll be
• 51:20
  smart about whatever
• 51:21
  decision they'll try or
• 51:23
  they'll make together.
• 51:24
  And yeah.
• 51:27
  So on another note and we
• 51:30
  all wish Alex the best that
• 51:31
  for a fast recovery,
• 51:33
  fast and speedy recovery.
• 51:36
  I was really hard on Ben and
• 51:37
  Blair all last week.
• 51:41
  Then I watched Hiller's
• 51:43
  video with them where they, they, they,
• 51:46
  stood up in front of the public,
• 51:48
  took everything they had to
• 51:49
  give and answered all the questions.
• 51:52
  Luckily, my last question to them,
• 51:54
  Hiller posted and they answered.
• 51:57
  And that was,
• 51:58
  do you two feel like you can
• 52:01
  turn this thing around to
• 52:03
  be a legit event for the
• 52:05
  CrossFit Games or do you
• 52:07
  need to bring in other people?
• 52:10
  And they said they've
• 52:11
  already reorganized their structure and
• 52:14
  And Blair was, I promise you,
• 52:18
  we will be much, much better.
• 52:25
  Blair and Ben are such good people.
• 52:28
  and there they were like any
• 52:30
  any little thing that would
• 52:32
  happen they were ready to
• 52:33
  still you know turn on a
• 52:35
  dime and listen to us if we
• 52:38
  had feedback on certain
• 52:39
  things listen to the
• 52:40
  appeals make appropriate
• 52:42
  changes um like was it
• 52:45
  perfect on the weekend no
• 52:47
  you know but they've built
• 52:48
  that competition the last
• 52:50
  two years so much and the
• 52:53
  community there is unbelievable um
• 52:58
  It's a really fun competition to go to.
• 53:04
  Ben and Blair are great people.
• 53:07
  I got to know Ben's wife and
• 53:11
  kids and stuff like that too.
• 53:12
  I watched them compete at NorCal.
• 53:17
  I feel like they're going to
• 53:18
  take a lot of this
• 53:19
  criticism and learn from it
• 53:21
  and only get better.
• 53:23
  There's a lot of great
• 53:24
  pieces of that competition
• 53:25
  that I feel like
• 53:28
  other comps just don't have.
• 53:29
  And it's something that's
• 53:30
  very unique about NorCal
• 53:32
  and it gets people to come
• 53:33
  back every single year.
• 53:36
  I just hope for the elite
• 53:38
  division that they'll clean
• 53:39
  up some of the standards in
• 53:41
  terms of just making it
• 53:42
  more uniform across every lane as,
• 53:45
  you know,
• 53:46
  we're battling for spots to the
• 53:48
  games or whatnot.
• 53:51
  But yeah, with the right,
• 53:52
  with the right people to guide them,
• 53:53
  I think that,
• 53:54
  I think that they can for sure.
• 53:56
  I believe in them.
• 53:58
  I think they are a charming
• 54:01
  and fun to watch event.
• 54:04
  And they've always been that.
• 54:07
  I think they do need to
• 54:08
  reorganize and have
• 54:11
  specific people just for the elites.
• 54:13
  And then another group that
• 54:15
  are for the community.
• 54:16
  So both can get full
• 54:17
  attention from somebody by
• 54:21
  being pulled too thin.
• 54:22
  It was just too much.
• 54:25
  And,
• 54:26
  and I do think they have a place in
• 54:28
  the season for something,
• 54:30
  but they've got to get that
• 54:31
  tightened up to be a
• 54:33
  qualifier for the games.
• 54:36
  Yep.
• 54:37
  Yeah.
• 54:38
  And I'm naive enough.
• 54:39
  And by when they told me they promised,
• 54:41
  I believe them.
• 54:43
  Yeah.
• 54:43
  I, I think it's clear.
• 54:45
  They're both very passionate individuals.
• 54:49
  I mean, they're innovative, um,
• 54:53
  I, it's almost as, and I,
• 54:55
  I know this has been going on forever,
• 54:56
  so it's not what really what happened,
• 54:58
  but it's almost like these
• 55:00
  like two very passionate
• 55:02
  people started something
• 55:03
  and it got too big for them too quick.
• 55:06
  And I know that's not
• 55:06
  necessarily the case because this has,
• 55:07
  this has been big.
• 55:08
  It's just so many eyes were
• 55:11
  on this being the elite
• 55:12
  qualified or the game that
• 55:15
  there wasn't really room for error,
• 55:17
  the errors that were there.
• 55:21
  And they're not the only
• 55:22
  shit show in town.
• 55:23
  Exactly.
• 55:24
  Like what a Palooza has been
• 55:25
  a shit show the last three years.
• 55:26
  Yeah.
• 55:27
  They're just not qualifying
• 55:28
  anybody to the games.
• 55:29
  So we quickly forget about it.
• 55:32
  Yeah.
• 55:34
  Um,
• 55:34
  and every time I talked to an athlete
• 55:36
  right after water Palooza, they're like,
• 55:38
  I'm never coming back.
• 55:41
  And then six months later,
• 55:43
  we all signed up again.
• 55:45
  That was me for like three years.
• 55:46
  Me and Lex, I was like,
• 55:47
  I'm not coming back.
• 55:49
  Next time it goes around, all right,
• 55:50
  we're going team again.
• 55:54
  So, you know,
• 55:56
  they're not the only shit show in town.
• 55:58
  And there's plenty of that
• 55:59
  that make a lot of money.
• 56:01
  And generally,
• 56:02
  it's these big community events.
• 56:04
  You have thousands of athletes there.
• 56:06
  It's going to stretch you
• 56:07
  thin in some way.
• 56:10
  I think they just have to
• 56:11
  dedicate an executive team
• 56:14
  just for the elites.
• 56:16
  Yeah.
• 56:17
  But the community event, it's huge there.
• 56:22
  It's massive.
• 56:23
  And all the tents.
• 56:24
  It's so cool to just talk to
• 56:28
  so many different people.
• 56:30
  The vendor village looked
• 56:31
  like it was packed all weekend too.
• 56:34
  The rest of it looked like it was very,
• 56:36
  very successful in terms of...
• 56:38
  you know, the competition and it's just,
• 56:41
  just for the qualification
• 56:43
  and especially with a lot
• 56:43
  of money on the line too.
• 56:45
  Right.
• 56:45
  You want to make sure that, um,
• 56:49
  the right people, everything, um,
• 56:52
  are getting through.
• 56:55
  Well, but yeah, the families are awesome.
• 56:58
  Name another or event
• 56:59
  organizer who stood up
• 57:01
  after something like this
• 57:03
  happened and took it on the
• 57:04
  chin and let everybody just come at them.
• 57:07
  They never hid from anything.
• 57:09
  They were forward-facing.
• 57:11
  Anything that people were saying,
• 57:13
  they listened and they're
• 57:15
  looking to get better.
• 57:16
  And a lot of people aren't like that.
• 57:20
  Yeah, I have a lot of respect for them.
• 57:23
  And I feel it'll be different next year.
• 57:30
  That was the first year that
• 57:31
  they took on the qualifying
• 57:33
  competition role.
• 57:35
  It'll be...
• 57:40
  I'll be good um denise isn't
• 57:41
  going to wataplooza for
• 57:42
  another reason she saw
• 57:44
  videos of hammerheads the
• 57:45
  next year near the venue
• 57:47
  will I go again nope she's
• 57:51
  just afraid of sharks yeah
• 57:52
  that's a bit concerning um
• 57:58
  so yeah so I think that's
• 58:00
  it about norcal it was a
• 58:02
  fun event to watch the races were good
• 58:07
  Just got to clean up some things.
• 58:08
  We'll just leave it at that.
• 58:10
  High Rocks World
• 58:10
  Championships were this weekend.
• 58:13
  We were excited because Tia
• 58:14
  was going there with two different teams.
• 58:17
  Her and James Newberry ended
• 58:19
  up finishing fifth in the mixed doubles.
• 58:21
  In their age group.
• 58:23
  In their age group.
• 58:24
  Right.
• 58:24
  And then she withdrew in the
• 58:29
  women's doubles.
• 58:31
  And they were the world
• 58:32
  record-setting team.
• 58:35
  And that was probably the
• 58:37
  big one where she could
• 58:38
  have won the world championship.
• 58:41
  There's no reason as to why she withdrew.
• 58:45
  Still nothing, huh?
• 58:47
  Nothing that I've seen.
• 58:49
  And we don't know whether, I mean,
• 58:51
  the schedule there is extremely tight.
• 58:54
  Joanna had already done two races.
• 58:59
  Tia was doing that one with James,
• 59:01
  and then I think less than
• 59:03
  three hours later was
• 59:04
  supposed to do the one with Joanna.
• 59:05
  I think that's her name, Joanna.
• 59:09
  Yeah, it's Joanna.
• 59:10
  Yeah,
• 59:10
  so I'm not sure if one of them didn't
• 59:12
  feel good and didn't get
• 59:14
  enough time to recover.
• 59:17
  It's crazy because she put
• 59:18
  all of her eggs in the
• 59:19
  basket there for this event.
• 59:21
  And to me,
• 59:22
  if the races are going to be this close,
• 59:24
  let's say,
• 59:25
  and I'm just speculating right
• 59:26
  now that Tia didn't feel
• 59:28
  like she was going to get a
• 59:28
  good enough performance to
• 59:31
  recover from the first event with James.
• 59:33
  if you have to pick one you
• 59:34
  pick the one with joanna
• 59:35
  where you can go get a
• 59:37
  world record like I'm sorry
• 59:38
  james I know I know your
• 59:40
  best friends and stuff but
• 59:41
  like you're going for the
• 59:42
  record with joanna like
• 59:44
  that that's the one that I
• 59:45
  feel she was going for and
• 59:47
  she was looking to do well
• 59:48
  with james but am am I
• 59:52
  right that joanna this
• 59:53
  would have been her fourth race
• 59:57
  uh of the weekend she had
• 59:59
  already done the elite I
• 1:00:01
  think she had done the
• 1:00:02
  relay did she do a mix as
• 1:00:05
  well she probably did a mix
• 1:00:07
  with a with a guy maybe as
• 1:00:09
  well so maybe that would
• 1:00:11
  have been her fourth so I
• 1:00:12
  don't know which one of the
• 1:00:13
  two wasn't ready to go or
• 1:00:17
  maybe had something going
• 1:00:18
  on but it's unfortunate and
• 1:00:20
  it really it makes me
• 1:00:22
  wonder like what tia is
• 1:00:23
  going to decide now
• 1:00:25
  Because I feel like she
• 1:00:26
  wanted to get a world championship.
• 1:00:27
  Don't answer that question yet.
• 1:00:28
  It comes later in the show.
• 1:00:30
  I feel like she wanted to do
• 1:00:31
  a world championship High
• 1:00:32
  Rocks and win a CrossFit
• 1:00:34
  Games in the same season.
• 1:00:35
  I feel like that was her goal.
• 1:00:36
  Yeah.
• 1:00:36
  And now I'm like, well.
• 1:00:42
  So I ask you this because of
• 1:00:45
  the way High Rocks is designed,
• 1:00:47
  and I am not a High Rocks expert.
• 1:00:49
  It's way too much running
• 1:00:50
  for me to pay attention to.
• 1:00:52
  But
• 1:00:53
  If you're doing the same
• 1:00:55
  movements that many times,
• 1:00:58
  time over time in a short window,
• 1:01:02
  does that set you up for more injury?
• 1:01:07
  Just repetitive use.
• 1:01:08
  Yeah.
• 1:01:11
  I mean, honestly,
• 1:01:12
  just the value of running.
• 1:01:16
  And it's like concrete venues.
• 1:01:19
  It's not gentle on your joints.
• 1:01:23
  Yeah.
• 1:01:24
  I know when I did run,
• 1:01:25
  like I hated concrete.
• 1:01:27
  Yeah.
• 1:01:27
  I'm looking for asphalt.
• 1:01:28
  Cause it actually does give
• 1:01:29
  a little more or,
• 1:01:35
  or does getting hip checked
• 1:01:36
  cause more injury?
• 1:01:41
  No, that's fine.
• 1:01:42
  I love a good hip check.
• 1:01:44
  Yeah.
• 1:01:44
  That was a nice cocky hit.
• 1:01:45
  Yeah.
• 1:01:46
  That would have been,
• 1:01:47
  that would have been good in the NHL.
• 1:01:48
  Yeah.
• 1:01:48
  Nice.
• 1:01:52
  So people did not see the
• 1:01:53
  big news from the high
• 1:01:54
  rocks weekend in the
• 1:01:57
  country events where it was
• 1:01:59
  USA versus Australia versus UK.
• 1:02:03
  And there was someone from
• 1:02:06
  the UK weaving in and out of traffic,
• 1:02:09
  trying to pass Hunter
• 1:02:11
  McIntyre several times.
• 1:02:14
  He came up on Hunter's left and,
• 1:02:19
  In my view,
• 1:02:20
  there wasn't a high elbow at some point.
• 1:02:23
  Whether it was intended to
• 1:02:24
  touch Hunter or not, I don't know.
• 1:02:27
  But then you see the UK
• 1:02:29
  runner flying into the wall
• 1:02:32
  after a hip check from Hunter.
• 1:02:35
  High Rocks then decided to
• 1:02:36
  DQ the entire US team for that move.
• 1:02:41
  And then Australia moved
• 1:02:43
  into the top three, which Mike Halpin,
• 1:02:46
  Justin Formy,
• 1:02:47
  got James Newberry a medal
• 1:02:49
  because he was on Team Australia.
• 1:02:55
  Is there a place for rubbing and racing?
• 1:02:58
  Well, yeah.
• 1:03:02
  Well, you're a cross-country runner.
• 1:03:03
  From my understanding,
• 1:03:05
  like every high school cross-country meet,
• 1:03:07
  there is elbows, bumps...
• 1:03:12
  Cause you're a mass start trying to get,
• 1:03:15
  do we not remember Ben
• 1:03:16
  Smith doing the belly flop on the beach?
• 1:03:19
  Cause he got run into the
• 1:03:22
  year he won the games and
• 1:03:24
  then he pops right back up
• 1:03:25
  and heads out for the swim.
• 1:03:27
  I think in the mass starts at the games,
• 1:03:29
  we've seen people like
• 1:03:30
  elbow people's stomachs and
• 1:03:31
  stuff like that.
• 1:03:33
  We we've heard Cole Sager say like,
• 1:03:35
  I'm beating him to the
• 1:03:36
  corner and my body's bigger than that.
• 1:03:38
  And I'm, I'm going to take my chances.
• 1:03:43
  Yeah.
• 1:03:44
  And the thing is, I don't,
• 1:03:45
  I don't think it was unprovoked.
• 1:03:48
  That's the problem.
• 1:03:48
  Like if, if Hunter just hip checked them,
• 1:03:51
  that's one thing,
• 1:03:53
  but it's usually because of
• 1:03:56
  continuous contact that
• 1:03:57
  something extra like that happens.
• 1:03:59
  And when it, I mean, it's on to,
• 1:04:01
  in my mind,
• 1:04:02
  it's a little unfair to DQ the
• 1:04:04
  entire team when I don't
• 1:04:07
  feel it was unprovoked.
• 1:04:09
  uh shiz graphics also
• 1:04:11
  there's race code and the
• 1:04:12
  uk uk guy did not follow
• 1:04:15
  right high school
• 1:04:17
  cross-country meets can be
• 1:04:19
  brutal especially the
• 1:04:20
  starts my oldest ran three
• 1:04:21
  years in high school it
• 1:04:26
  definitely sends like high
• 1:04:28
  rock sent a message though
• 1:04:29
  with that decision um that
• 1:04:33
  they're not going to
• 1:04:34
  tolerate anything like that
• 1:04:38
  That was a big decision to take.
• 1:04:41
  I agree.
• 1:04:42
  I'd rather have seen a
• 1:04:43
  thirty second or minute
• 1:04:44
  penalty or something.
• 1:04:45
  Whatever you think it like.
• 1:04:47
  I don't know.
• 1:04:48
  I don't know that you DQ the team.
• 1:04:49
  I think his partner also
• 1:04:51
  threw him under the bus in
• 1:04:52
  one of his posts or
• 1:04:52
  something too that I saw.
• 1:04:53
  That's not good.
• 1:04:55
  James Newberry is as of this
• 1:04:57
  moment the CrossFit Games
• 1:04:59
  team champion and the High
• 1:05:01
  Rocks team champion.
• 1:05:02
  Oh boy.
• 1:05:03
  That's cool.
• 1:05:05
  That's really cool.
• 1:05:06
  Yeah.
• 1:05:08
  That's really cool.
• 1:05:09
  Tristan Patrick, Robbins Racing.
• 1:05:16
  If you're not first, you're last.
• 1:05:19
  Raph,
• 1:05:20
  who's going to be on the show next week,
• 1:05:23
  talking about teams.
• 1:05:24
  What's the rules in Olympic running?
• 1:05:25
  High Rocks wants to go to the Olympics.
• 1:05:27
  They're going to follow
• 1:05:28
  whatever the standard is for Olympics,
• 1:05:30
  I'm guessing.
• 1:05:32
  Yeah, that would make sense.
• 1:05:33
  I didn't know that they
• 1:05:33
  wanted to go to the Olympics.
• 1:05:35
  Yeah, I do think they want to, uh,
• 1:05:37
  and you would get DQ in the,
• 1:05:39
  in the Olympics for impeding.
• 1:05:43
  I,
• 1:05:44
  I almost feel like this kind of a
• 1:05:45
  situation in the Olympics
• 1:05:46
  may have bet may have cost
• 1:05:48
  both of them a DQ though, the way that,
• 1:05:52
  that,
• 1:05:53
  because the first interference and yeah.
• 1:05:54
  Yeah, I agree.
• 1:06:00
  Yeah, that's cool.
• 1:06:02
  That's cool that they want
• 1:06:03
  to go to the Olympics, though.
• 1:06:06
  Yeah.
• 1:06:08
  Have them do solo,
• 1:06:09
  then I'd give them credit.
• 1:06:11
  Team championship week sauce
• 1:06:13
  to stand on pedestal.
• 1:06:16
  Well, yeah.
• 1:06:17
  Other thing about High Rocks
• 1:06:20
  this weekend is their turf business.
• 1:06:22
  I don't know if you've been
• 1:06:23
  following all that.
• 1:06:23
  Holy smokes.
• 1:06:25
  They put out a statement, too.
• 1:06:26
  Yeah.
• 1:06:28
  I mean, that's a good,
• 1:06:29
  they've been communicating
• 1:06:31
  on Instagram over the weekend on,
• 1:06:33
  you know, a lot of stuff, which is good.
• 1:06:36
  I don't know if, you know,
• 1:06:39
  everything in the back end,
• 1:06:40
  if they've in the past had
• 1:06:42
  bad communication.
• 1:06:42
  But as someone who doesn't
• 1:06:44
  do the sport and just has
• 1:06:45
  been following this weekend,
• 1:06:47
  it seems like there are
• 1:06:48
  some big decisions made and
• 1:06:49
  some good communication to
• 1:06:51
  the public on different things.
• 1:06:53
  And they've addressed their own faults,
• 1:06:55
  which is cool to kind of,
• 1:06:56
  which is cool to read.
• 1:06:58
  I don't know what they'll do
• 1:06:59
  with that turf.
• 1:07:02
  I didn't hear this, so can you fill me in?
• 1:07:05
  They got a new turf and they debuted it.
• 1:07:09
  I actually think it's venues.
• 1:07:11
  I don't know,
• 1:07:11
  but they got a new turf
• 1:07:12
  that's the official turf
• 1:07:13
  now of High Rocks, and they
• 1:07:16
  sort of debuted it here at
• 1:07:17
  worlds which was probably a
• 1:07:18
  terrible time to use it
• 1:07:21
  like I don't been tested
• 1:07:22
  enough and like so there
• 1:07:24
  were certain lanes there's
• 1:07:25
  a video of a man man and a
• 1:07:27
  woman um pushing the sled
• 1:07:29
  and you can see like she
• 1:07:31
  can't push it at all he's
• 1:07:32
  struggling to push it and
• 1:07:33
  he like gets fed up and
• 1:07:34
  walks over to another lane
• 1:07:35
  and shows how easy it is to
• 1:07:37
  push on a different lane and he's like
• 1:07:40
  So like clear in a lot of
• 1:07:42
  people complain on that,
• 1:07:43
  like it was taking them two
• 1:07:44
  to three times longer than
• 1:07:46
  the sled should take them.
• 1:07:47
  And they were so gassed that
• 1:07:49
  they couldn't even like
• 1:07:50
  really run the next
• 1:07:52
  leg um and it just cost them
• 1:07:54
  their whole race and that
• 1:07:55
  sucks to train if you've
• 1:07:57
  done this you know for a
• 1:07:59
  year a whole season and
• 1:08:00
  you're training for this
• 1:08:01
  world and then a sled zaps
• 1:08:04
  you and you can't like you
• 1:08:06
  don't get the time
• 1:08:07
  replacement that you feel
• 1:08:08
  you probably trained for
• 1:08:12
  that's not and they talked
• 1:08:13
  about the sleds that like
• 1:08:15
  normally if they can see
• 1:08:16
  that a sled is not moving
• 1:08:17
  as well they would change
• 1:08:18
  it out and because
• 1:08:21
  obviously the the the use
• 1:08:22
  of the sled and how much
• 1:08:24
  it's been used would would
• 1:08:25
  also impact the the
• 1:08:26
  resistance that it would
• 1:08:27
  have so they just said that
• 1:08:29
  they noticed it too late
• 1:08:30
  and acknowledged that fault
• 1:08:31
  that they didn't switch the
• 1:08:33
  stuff out um fast enough
• 1:08:36
  but I mean yeah sleds has
• 1:08:37
  been a problem and
• 1:08:40
  arse forward like I wonder
• 1:08:41
  if they would ever change
• 1:08:42
  their race and do another
• 1:08:44
  movement I don't think that
• 1:08:45
  they will just because
• 1:08:47
  they've been doing the sled
• 1:08:48
  push and pull but you
• 1:08:50
  wonder like because like
• 1:08:53
  it's friction like there's
• 1:08:54
  there can be differences
• 1:08:57
  and they've acknowledged
• 1:08:58
  that they should remove it
• 1:08:59
  and put a gator push in
• 1:09:04
  they've been taught I've
• 1:09:05
  heard people suggesting
• 1:09:07
  they get like torque tanks
• 1:09:09
  Not that that's everyone's favorite,
• 1:09:10
  but removes the torque tank.
• 1:09:13
  The problem with that is it
• 1:09:15
  pretty much evens everybody out there.
• 1:09:17
  If you're good at pushing,
• 1:09:18
  you can't push it any faster.
• 1:09:20
  Yeah.
• 1:09:21
  I disagree.
• 1:09:22
  I think,
• 1:09:23
  I think the torque is a good
• 1:09:26
  implement personally.
• 1:09:29
  Do you want to run with it?
• 1:09:30
  No, not really.
• 1:09:31
  Does it like really reward you?
• 1:09:32
  No, but yeah, you're,
• 1:09:36
  if you're just better at
• 1:09:36
  pushing a sled and,
• 1:09:39
  you're going to be less
• 1:09:40
  fatigued from doing it than
• 1:09:41
  I am the only person old
• 1:09:45
  enough to remember this is
• 1:09:46
  me and jay birch uh mary
• 1:09:49
  decker and zola budney in
• 1:09:50
  the olympics when they ran
• 1:09:52
  into each other and they
• 1:09:54
  were the two favorites to
• 1:09:55
  win the gold medal and they
• 1:09:57
  both went out of the race
• 1:09:58
  because they tripped each other up um
• 1:10:10
  Yeah, we haven't been able to,
• 1:10:12
  in the CrossFit,
• 1:10:13
  we haven't been able to
• 1:10:13
  figure out friction.
• 1:10:14
  Nope.
• 1:10:15
  We have no idea how to calculate it,
• 1:10:18
  to make it equal, to do whatever.
• 1:10:22
  So, yeah.
• 1:10:25
  Yeah, I mean,
• 1:10:26
  I'll be curious if they get
• 1:10:27
  this turf figured out.
• 1:10:29
  Jork tank the equity machine.
• 1:10:31
  It's crazy because one year
• 1:10:32
  when I was on the demo team
• 1:10:33
  in twenty twenty three,
• 1:10:34
  they made the demo team go
• 1:10:35
  on every single lane with the sled.
• 1:10:39
  But we only we use the same
• 1:10:41
  sled on every lane,
• 1:10:43
  but we had to go every
• 1:10:44
  single one and be like,
• 1:10:45
  does this feel fast?
• 1:10:46
  Does this feel slow?
• 1:10:48
  So they've tried to make
• 1:10:52
  sure that it's as even as possible.
• 1:10:54
  But even with a lot of testing,
• 1:10:56
  sometimes there's lanes
• 1:10:57
  that just go a little bit faster,
• 1:10:59
  some that are slower.
• 1:11:01
  Yeah.
• 1:11:02
  Do you know, like anything?
• 1:11:06
  Yeah.
• 1:11:07
  Well,
• 1:11:07
  I've reached my max that I can talk
• 1:11:09
  about high rocks.
• 1:11:10
  So I'm going to skip over
• 1:11:13
  and we'll come back to this in a second,
• 1:11:15
  but I want to go right to factor fiction.
• 1:11:16
  Okay.
• 1:11:17
  So I'm going to make a
• 1:11:18
  statement and you two tell
• 1:11:21
  me whether it's fact or fiction and why.
• 1:11:26
  First,
• 1:11:26
  this season will go down as the
• 1:11:29
  worst structure of a season
• 1:11:30
  CrossFit has ever used.
• 1:11:33
  Fact or fiction?
• 1:11:36
  I mean, I want to say fact,
• 1:11:37
  but I can't put anything past CrossFit.
• 1:11:40
  So, there could be worse to come,
• 1:11:43
  to be quite honest.
• 1:11:45
  Just from this year's past.
• 1:11:47
  Oh, not coming forward.
• 1:11:48
  I don't think so.
• 1:11:49
  I don't think it's the worst.
• 1:11:51
  I think people got...
• 1:11:53
  different opportunities to
• 1:11:54
  compete at different
• 1:11:55
  sanctionals or semifinals.
• 1:11:57
  Sorry.
• 1:11:58
  There was still an online portion.
• 1:12:00
  It just, there's some things to tweak up,
• 1:12:02
  but I don't think it's the worst.
• 1:12:03
  And I think for the most part,
• 1:12:06
  the athletes that signed up for the open,
• 1:12:09
  most of the top people are
• 1:12:11
  making it there.
• 1:12:12
  The field is smaller,
• 1:12:14
  but I'm sure there was
• 1:12:15
  worse qualification season.
• 1:12:18
  Um, like from the athletes.
• 1:12:22
  So maybe twenty twenty.
• 1:12:23
  That was not really fair to
• 1:12:26
  put on CrossFit.
• 1:12:27
  Yeah.
• 1:12:28
  I mean,
• 1:12:28
  that would be a difficult one
• 1:12:29
  because a lot of people lost their spots.
• 1:12:32
  A lot of events never got to take place.
• 1:12:35
  Right.
• 1:12:35
  I just I pretend twenty
• 1:12:37
  twenty didn't happen.
• 1:12:38
  Me too.
• 1:12:41
  I say fact.
• 1:12:42
  I say fact because you put
• 1:12:44
  the online qualifier in the wrong spot.
• 1:12:46
  You took away all the
• 1:12:47
  athletes from the in-person
• 1:12:49
  and didn't let the event
• 1:12:51
  organizers know that until last minute.
• 1:12:53
  So they're marketing people
• 1:12:54
  that are coming that weren't coming,
• 1:12:56
  made everybody look like fools,
• 1:12:59
  and then they're scrambling
• 1:13:00
  to fill their rosters.
• 1:13:03
  And the last chance
• 1:13:03
  qualifier has been a joke.
• 1:13:05
  Agreed.
• 1:13:06
  Some regions were regional.
• 1:13:08
  Some weren't.
• 1:13:09
  Anyone, like...
• 1:13:10
  Yeah,
• 1:13:10
  everybody had their own rules at the
• 1:13:11
  end person.
• 1:13:13
  It wasn't consistent across the board.
• 1:13:17
  Mayhem programmed everything
• 1:13:18
  but but two events.
• 1:13:23
  So I don't know,
• 1:13:24
  like I so I think fact it
• 1:13:26
  is the worst season we have had so far.
• 1:13:28
  I agree.
• 1:13:30
  But on the same token, like,
• 1:13:33
  Mayhem did everything, but, like,
• 1:13:35
  thank God they stepped up
• 1:13:37
  and did something,
• 1:13:38
  because if CrossFit wasn't
• 1:13:39
  looking over anything the entire year,
• 1:13:42
  like, I don't know,
• 1:13:43
  maybe it would have been way worse.
• 1:13:44
  Like, they did step up,
• 1:13:45
  but at the same time,
• 1:13:46
  there's a disadvantage to
• 1:13:48
  everyone else that's not in
• 1:13:49
  that Mayhem group.
• 1:13:55
  um factor fiction tia having
• 1:13:57
  to withdraw from high rocks
• 1:13:59
  the high rocks final has
• 1:14:01
  all but assured us she will
• 1:14:03
  be at the crossfit games I
• 1:14:07
  say fact it's tough not
• 1:14:09
  knowing whether it was her
• 1:14:11
  or joanna I mean I feel
• 1:14:14
  like if something what
• 1:14:16
  feels like something was
• 1:14:17
  taken from her not of her own choice here
• 1:14:23
  I mean, she has to go to the games.
• 1:14:25
  Yeah, I mean, yeah,
• 1:14:26
  I think she's got to go to the games.
• 1:14:28
  The fact that she just
• 1:14:29
  showed up at Torian and won
• 1:14:32
  five out of the six events
• 1:14:33
  and got like second by like
• 1:14:34
  five seconds on the other event.
• 1:14:37
  Like she has to go to the games, right?
• 1:14:41
  Yeah, she's still going to kill everybody.
• 1:14:42
  Yes, like...
• 1:14:45
  I feel like you go to the games,
• 1:14:47
  you get your eighth title,
• 1:14:50
  your to me now becomes an
• 1:14:51
  eight with the double O,
• 1:14:52
  like you have your marketing like that.
• 1:14:55
  Oh, you just sold her.
• 1:14:57
  Yeah.
• 1:14:59
  You had the seven with the T
• 1:15:00
  with the T. Yeah.
• 1:15:01
  Oh, the eight could be the to me.
• 1:15:03
  That would be the perfect.
• 1:15:06
  I'll get I'll get ten
• 1:15:07
  percent of whatever she
• 1:15:07
  makes from that new signature.
• 1:15:10
  She'll get her design.
• 1:15:18
  um kudos from stevan on the
• 1:15:20
  to me I think it's a good I
• 1:15:23
  think it would be a good a
• 1:15:24
  good marketing it would be
• 1:15:26
  the eight on its side is
• 1:15:27
  there double oh it's like
• 1:15:28
  the infinity which means
• 1:15:29
  you just have to keep going
• 1:15:31
  yeah forever there it is
• 1:15:38
  and then it can be the
• 1:15:39
  infinity for all-time goat
• 1:15:40
  yeah so many things can be
• 1:15:43
  happening we're we're
• 1:15:44
  basically dragging her in
• 1:15:45
  right now come on come do the games
• 1:15:49
  Jenny making a practical two
• 1:15:51
  hundred eighty eight
• 1:15:52
  thousand dollar paycheck.
• 1:15:53
  She should go.
• 1:15:57
  I mean, you got to think she will.
• 1:15:59
  I didn't see her.
• 1:15:59
  Denise said something about
• 1:16:01
  how she looked when she
• 1:16:01
  crossed the finish line.
• 1:16:03
  Can you elaborate on that?
• 1:16:04
  Was it did she look exhausted, wiped?
• 1:16:08
  She bent over and looked
• 1:16:09
  tired and looked human.
• 1:16:11
  OK.
• 1:16:12
  You don't see Tia bending
• 1:16:14
  over and looking tired ever.
• 1:16:16
  So to me,
• 1:16:16
  she looked like she was exhausted
• 1:16:18
  at the finish line.
• 1:16:23
  Yeah.
• 1:16:23
  I'll try.
• 1:16:23
  I'll pull up the picture.
• 1:16:27
  If I can.
• 1:16:28
  I saw it earlier.
• 1:16:30
  She looked really spent.
• 1:16:31
  Okay.
• 1:16:34
  So maybe it was her.
• 1:16:41
  It's just hard to believe
• 1:16:42
  that she wouldn't at least
• 1:16:45
  try to go for the boy with
• 1:16:48
  Joy unless she really felt
• 1:16:49
  like she didn't have it in her, but
• 1:17:00
  Doesn't look bad there.
• 1:17:03
  Yeah, she looks fine in most of this.
• 1:17:05
  It's just when she crosses
• 1:17:06
  the finish line at the end.
• 1:17:08
  She looked fine there.
• 1:17:12
  Totally fine.
• 1:17:13
  She didn't punch over anything.
• 1:17:13
  Right here, she looks human.
• 1:17:16
  Maybe it wasn't that one.
• 1:17:22
  All right.
• 1:17:24
  Yeah.
• 1:17:24
  I'd take your word on it.
• 1:17:25
  Yeah.
• 1:17:27
  I'm sure we'll get some
• 1:17:28
  details out on a proven
• 1:17:29
  video at some point this week.
• 1:17:31
  Or they'll promise details
• 1:17:34
  and then we'll watch the
• 1:17:35
  whole video and they'll be coy about it.
• 1:17:38
  Exactly.
• 1:17:38
  That's probably what we'll get.
• 1:17:41
  I mean, as long as she's not injured.
• 1:17:43
  Yeah.
• 1:17:45
  I think we'll see her.
• 1:17:47
  All right.
• 1:17:48
  Last factor fiction.
• 1:17:50
  Factor fiction.
• 1:17:52
  You believe Ben and Blair
• 1:17:53
  have the ability to make
• 1:17:54
  enough changes to be a
• 1:17:56
  quality in-person
• 1:17:57
  qualifying event for the CrossFit Games.
• 1:18:04
  Fact.
• 1:18:07
  I believe in them.
• 1:18:08
  Seeing them own up to some
• 1:18:09
  of these and really take the feedback,
• 1:18:11
  I do.
• 1:18:12
  I do believe that they can.
• 1:18:18
  I just don't think many
• 1:18:19
  people would have stepped
• 1:18:20
  up like they did and go on Hiller,
• 1:18:23
  take whatever question, address it,
• 1:18:28
  accept their shortcomings,
• 1:18:30
  already have other things
• 1:18:32
  in place for the following year.
• 1:18:36
  They were communicating all
• 1:18:38
  weekend to people anytime
• 1:18:41
  that people had issues and
• 1:18:43
  they were listening.
• 1:18:44
  And I thought that they were,
• 1:18:46
  for the most part, fair with any appeals.
• 1:18:53
  Obviously, the last event was difficult,
• 1:18:55
  but they made the decision
• 1:18:56
  that they made and they stuck by it.
• 1:18:58
  And I feel like they had to
• 1:19:01
  make that decision.
• 1:19:04
  Yeah,
• 1:19:05
  as hard as I was on them all last week,
• 1:19:08
  when they came out and face the cameras,
• 1:19:11
  face the public, it won me over.
• 1:19:16
  And there's just something
• 1:19:17
  special about NorCal.
• 1:19:20
  The people, like the community.
• 1:19:25
  Tristan and Carolyn,
• 1:19:26
  they were boots on the ground.
• 1:19:28
  Like they were affected by everything.
• 1:19:30
  They can,
• 1:19:30
  their heart is in the right place.
• 1:19:32
  Everything else can be improved.
• 1:19:37
  And it's one of the older comps, right?
• 1:19:38
  Like, fit, fourteen, fifteen years.
• 1:19:40
  It's only really been her.
• 1:19:41
  I think it was only seventeen.
• 1:19:43
  I think I heard.
• 1:19:45
  That's a lot.
• 1:19:46
  I think they took a couple
• 1:19:47
  years off and then they
• 1:19:49
  came back a few years ago.
• 1:19:54
  Bubba's asking how old it is
• 1:19:56
  and how long they've been running comps.
• 1:19:58
  Well,
• 1:19:58
  Blair and Ben have been around forever.
• 1:20:01
  Like, they're OGOG CrossFitters.
• 1:20:05
  But as this event,
• 1:20:07
  I believe it was twenty
• 1:20:08
  seventeen and then they
• 1:20:09
  took it off and then came
• 1:20:13
  back after that.
• 1:20:17
  And Craig said, yeah,
• 1:20:18
  they did a great job in the interview,
• 1:20:19
  which they really did.
• 1:20:25
  All right.
• 1:20:25
  So we're going to finish up
• 1:20:26
  with a couple of things.
• 1:20:27
  Um, last Friday,
• 1:20:30
  Savon had Facundo on the
• 1:20:32
  show and they were talking
• 1:20:34
  about the last chance
• 1:20:35
  qualifier and his
• 1:20:36
  relationship with hustle up
• 1:20:37
  and the stuff we talked
• 1:20:38
  about with last chance qualifier,
• 1:20:40
  but then it got into the
• 1:20:41
  sale of CrossFit and I have
• 1:20:46
  no inside information.
• 1:20:50
  Um,
• 1:20:51
  I have no inside information.
• 1:20:53
  If anybody in chat wants to add to this,
• 1:20:56
  it leads me to believe that
• 1:20:57
  the sale of CrossFit is pretty pending,
• 1:21:03
  like happening soon.
• 1:21:05
  Facundo said he believes
• 1:21:06
  it'll happen by the end of the year.
• 1:21:08
  It does appear that it is
• 1:21:10
  the B-Sport group that will
• 1:21:12
  be the one purchasing CrossFit.
• 1:21:14
  And Facundo does have a
• 1:21:15
  close relationship with
• 1:21:17
  them as they own Northern Spirit.
• 1:21:20
  They own Hustle Up.
• 1:21:22
  They own a lot of CrossFit brands.
• 1:21:25
  Eminent.
• 1:21:25
  That's what I'm looking for, Jay Birch.
• 1:21:27
  Thank you.
• 1:21:30
  It does feel like it's eminent.
• 1:21:34
  What are your guys' thoughts
• 1:21:36
  about the sale?
• 1:21:39
  This is the Daniel Chafee group.
• 1:21:43
  Daniel Chafee is just rumored to be a CEO.
• 1:21:46
  From what I understand,
• 1:21:47
  not really part of the purchase group.
• 1:21:50
  Also,
• 1:21:51
  Seve wanted to know if Carolyn did
• 1:21:52
  the workouts.
• 1:21:53
  Yes, she did.
• 1:21:55
  Yeah,
• 1:21:55
  I'll probably post before I go to bed,
• 1:21:57
  which will be probably
• 1:21:59
  after the show a little bit.
• 1:22:02
  They weren't that great for me,
• 1:22:03
  but I did them to finish up
• 1:22:06
  my last chance qualifier.
• 1:22:09
  And just to clear up Lex did
• 1:22:11
  it the first year, was year one of NCC.
• 1:22:14
  Oh,
• 1:22:15
  I thought it had been around way longer
• 1:22:17
  than that.
• 1:22:17
  Cause I did it in so big.
• 1:22:20
  Yeah.
• 1:22:21
  So maybe it just has gotten
• 1:22:23
  too big too soon.
• 1:22:26
  Like when I did in it was,
• 1:22:29
  it actually was separated,
• 1:22:30
  I think partly because of COVID.
• 1:22:32
  Um,
• 1:22:33
  so the masters were at a different
• 1:22:34
  venue than the eight regular individual.
• 1:22:41
  So back on the sale.
• 1:22:42
  Okay.
• 1:22:47
  I don't know.
• 1:22:48
  I don't know.
• 1:22:48
  They are in the CrossFit
• 1:22:50
  space already and that they
• 1:22:52
  understand it.
• 1:22:54
  Even if they're a vendor,
• 1:22:55
  it's an understanding that
• 1:22:58
  like a private equity
• 1:23:02
  company doesn't have.
• 1:23:04
  Yeah,
• 1:23:04
  I think there's definitely an
• 1:23:05
  advantage of someone being
• 1:23:06
  within the space.
• 1:23:07
  I mean,
• 1:23:08
  we also had someone within the
• 1:23:09
  space before and it didn't work as well.
• 1:23:11
  But is there a lot of people
• 1:23:14
  that would be like this group of people?
• 1:23:18
  Or is it just a few?
• 1:23:22
  The only thing I know is
• 1:23:23
  everything I've seen from Matt Souza.
• 1:23:25
  And Matt Souza connects dots
• 1:23:30
  and then guesses on CEOs and stuff.
• 1:23:32
  And Facundo said that Matt
• 1:23:34
  Souza is very smart on the
• 1:23:35
  show on Friday.
• 1:23:37
  So that leads me to believe
• 1:23:38
  that all the red string and
• 1:23:40
  the yarn and the dots that
• 1:23:42
  Matt Souza connected
• 1:23:43
  together are pretty dead on.
• 1:23:47
  And the guy who owns all
• 1:23:48
  that stuff is pretty rich.
• 1:23:52
  I just hope that whoever
• 1:23:54
  takes over really works on, you know,
• 1:23:57
  the message behind CrossFit.
• 1:23:59
  Cause like when I started, you know,
• 1:24:00
  that name was so powerful and yeah,
• 1:24:03
  there was people that, you know,
• 1:24:06
  would make fun of CrossFit,
• 1:24:08
  but like we were so tight
• 1:24:09
  knit together as like
• 1:24:10
  CrossFitters and did hard things.
• 1:24:12
  And then over the years, you know,
• 1:24:14
  the reputation has kind of
• 1:24:17
  been a little bit more
• 1:24:18
  negative with some stuff.
• 1:24:19
  So I just hope that they go back to,
• 1:24:22
  you know,
• 1:24:23
  making that name stronger again
• 1:24:25
  and just putting the right
• 1:24:28
  people there to support the affiliates,
• 1:24:30
  the communities,
• 1:24:32
  like the grassroots and
• 1:24:33
  just build that because
• 1:24:34
  we've lost a lot of
• 1:24:34
  affiliates over the years.
• 1:24:36
  And there's been a lot of
• 1:24:37
  copycats of CrossFit, obviously,
• 1:24:39
  which people save money
• 1:24:41
  from being an affiliate.
• 1:24:45
  like to CrossFit,
• 1:24:46
  but just making that name a
• 1:24:48
  little bit stronger again
• 1:24:49
  and fighting for that,
• 1:24:50
  I think would help the
• 1:24:51
  affiliates a lot more.
• 1:24:53
  And then on the sports side,
• 1:24:55
  I just hope that, yeah,
• 1:24:58
  we have the right people
• 1:24:59
  that can create a good
• 1:25:02
  sporting path where it's just difficult.
• 1:25:07
  It's difficult because the
• 1:25:08
  methodology and the sport are, you know,
• 1:25:11
  two different things,
• 1:25:12
  but also are very important
• 1:25:13
  to each other.
• 1:25:16
  So I just hope that there's
• 1:25:17
  some sort of good blend
• 1:25:19
  between both of them.
• 1:25:21
  But the most important thing
• 1:25:22
  still always needs to be
• 1:25:25
  the affiliates and just
• 1:25:26
  helping regular people get healthier.
• 1:25:30
  And the sport is just the
• 1:25:31
  peak of the fitness that
• 1:25:32
  CrossFit creates.
• 1:25:35
  I agree with the comment.
• 1:25:36
  Yes, I agree.
• 1:25:37
  Mayhem will have a...
• 1:25:39
  I feel like that's where it's tracking.
• 1:25:41
  I think, I mean,
• 1:25:44
  Rich has clearly met with
• 1:25:45
  some of these people.
• 1:25:45
  I think Rich has made it
• 1:25:46
  pretty clear that if the
• 1:25:48
  right people don't get involved,
• 1:25:51
  Mayhem will be leaving CrossFit.
• 1:25:53
  And I don't think anyone
• 1:25:54
  wants that to happen.
• 1:25:54
  So they're going to try to
• 1:25:56
  ensure that he has a hand
• 1:25:58
  in things moving forward.
• 1:26:01
  And Hustle Up and Northern Spirit,
• 1:26:03
  I believe we're both
• 1:26:04
  sponsors of the Mayhem Classic.
• 1:26:07
  Yep.
• 1:26:08
  Um,
• 1:26:09
  so there are direct connections with
• 1:26:11
  mayhem.
• 1:26:11
  Yep.
• 1:26:14
  Um,
• 1:26:15
  and there are rumors that there's our
• 1:26:18
  rumors floating that
• 1:26:19
  Facundo could be the CEO.
• 1:26:21
  Oh, really?
• 1:26:23
  Um, no, I don't like, again, I'm just,
• 1:26:27
  I'm taking little bits of
• 1:26:30
  information I'm hearing
• 1:26:31
  from all these different places.
• 1:26:33
  I don't know how much
• 1:26:35
  validity there is to that.
• 1:26:37
  Um,
• 1:26:38
  But I do know that like
• 1:26:39
  Facundo worked in
• 1:26:41
  parliament in Belgium
• 1:26:42
  before he even got into
• 1:26:43
  CrossFit coaching.
• 1:26:44
  So he does have some higher
• 1:26:45
  level experience in leadership roles.
• 1:26:48
  I just don't know what his
• 1:26:50
  experience as a CEO would be.
• 1:26:52
  I've also heard Daniel Chaffee as CEO.
• 1:26:56
  He's in France, right?
• 1:26:57
  Correct.
• 1:26:58
  He runs the French throwdown.
• 1:27:02
  Okay.
• 1:27:02
  Halpin's comment here is the
• 1:27:04
  first thing that runs through my head.
• 1:27:08
  I've heard there is a
• 1:27:08
  concern of a change to
• 1:27:09
  European ownership instead
• 1:27:11
  of us ownership.
• 1:27:12
  But as I've heard it,
• 1:27:14
  B sport is offering more
• 1:27:15
  than anyone else.
• 1:27:18
  And I don't know if that's
• 1:27:19
  just the American in me, but yeah,
• 1:27:22
  that's the first thing that like,
• 1:27:24
  I just feel like
• 1:27:24
  everything's going to get
• 1:27:25
  pushed to the European side
• 1:27:27
  and CrossFit is still
• 1:27:30
  extremely us based and,
• 1:27:34
  but where's the growth.
• 1:27:36
  Yeah.
• 1:27:37
  I mean, I get that.
• 1:27:38
  I'm just from a business perspective,
• 1:27:42
  like that's where the growth is.
• 1:27:44
  That's where you want to.
• 1:27:48
  Yeah, but we're like losing.
• 1:27:49
  We are,
• 1:27:50
  we've lost something here in the U
• 1:27:51
  S we have, and you keep,
• 1:27:54
  and if you try to push overseas,
• 1:27:56
  I think you lose more.
• 1:28:04
  I don't know.
• 1:28:05
  Yeah.
• 1:28:06
  I don't know.
• 1:28:08
  It's left to be determined, I guess.
• 1:28:11
  I don't think it's a bad
• 1:28:12
  thing for it to expand to
• 1:28:14
  Europe and other places.
• 1:28:18
  Is Facundo... I don't even know.
• 1:28:22
  Blunt enough to be that role?
• 1:28:26
  I don't want to see another Don Fall.
• 1:28:28
  I don't want to see any more
• 1:28:29
  corporate speak.
• 1:28:30
  I don't want to see... I
• 1:28:32
  don't want any minced words.
• 1:28:36
  We need somebody...
• 1:28:39
  willing to be hard and talk
• 1:28:43
  back to people craig says
• 1:28:47
  he is maybe he is he's well
• 1:28:50
  I've interacted with kundo
• 1:28:51
  he's incredibly kind I
• 1:28:56
  almost worry like kind to a
• 1:28:58
  fault I think he can if he
• 1:29:01
  needs to tell you something
• 1:29:02
  that he needs to tell you
• 1:29:03
  he does yeah that's true
• 1:29:08
  He just doesn't do it in a dickhead way.
• 1:29:11
  Yeah, that's true.
• 1:29:12
  He's very diplomatic.
• 1:29:15
  And maybe it's the European.
• 1:29:16
  It just comes off softer.
• 1:29:18
  Yeah.
• 1:29:18
  I don't know.
• 1:29:22
  But Facundo said he believes
• 1:29:26
  that it will happen before
• 1:29:27
  the end of the year.
• 1:29:30
  that he hopes it happens
• 1:29:31
  before the end of the year
• 1:29:32
  but he believes in the same
• 1:29:34
  level of percentage that it
• 1:29:36
  he really does believe that
• 1:29:38
  it will be by the end of
• 1:29:39
  the year okay halpin said
• 1:29:43
  something about if rich is
• 1:29:44
  a major part of it that
• 1:29:46
  will balance out the
• 1:29:47
  european peace by giving
• 1:29:49
  you like a u.s base but yeah
• 1:29:55
  I worry somewhat,
• 1:29:56
  and maybe they're rich
• 1:29:57
  enough that it doesn't matter,
• 1:29:58
  but I worry somewhat that
• 1:29:59
  they're overpaying for this.
• 1:30:01
  And then there's going to be more,
• 1:30:03
  we got to figure out how to
• 1:30:04
  make money type decisions
• 1:30:06
  that I just think is... I'm
• 1:30:08
  done worrying about other
• 1:30:09
  people's bank accounts.
• 1:30:11
  If they got it, let them do it.
• 1:30:13
  The message needs to be
• 1:30:14
  about helping the most
• 1:30:15
  amount of people get healthy.
• 1:30:17
  That's the message that
• 1:30:18
  needs to be out there, helping people...
• 1:30:22
  join crossfit and and yeah
• 1:30:26
  just get just get healthy
• 1:30:27
  like it is an expensive um
• 1:30:32
  um thing to do so you know
• 1:30:34
  getting more places and
• 1:30:35
  just yeah help helping
• 1:30:37
  different people that maybe
• 1:30:38
  not have access to it but
• 1:30:41
  yeah I think the message
• 1:30:42
  needs to be just helping
• 1:30:43
  people uh craig says
• 1:30:44
  remember phoning senior
• 1:30:45
  told us not to worry and
• 1:30:47
  then that statement was
• 1:30:48
  refuted by rich jr
• 1:30:51
  And he didn't know what the
• 1:30:51
  hell his dad was talking about.
• 1:30:54
  Well,
• 1:30:54
  maybe his dad had been talking to
• 1:30:55
  Facundo and had some extra scoop.
• 1:31:02
  So look for that.
• 1:31:03
  We'll probably see some
• 1:31:04
  stuff floating around.
• 1:31:06
  I don't be anxious to see
• 1:31:07
  what direction we go.
• 1:31:08
  I believe that Facundo was
• 1:31:09
  coming back on Savan to
• 1:31:11
  talk about the last chance
• 1:31:12
  qualifier this week sometimes.
• 1:31:16
  So maybe they'll get more
• 1:31:17
  into it this week or he can
• 1:31:19
  say more this week.
• 1:31:20
  I don't know.
• 1:31:22
  A couple of quick hitters before we leave.
• 1:31:25
  Um, Danny Spiegel,
• 1:31:26
  it was announced that she
• 1:31:26
  is going to be one of the
• 1:31:27
  new American gladiators.
• 1:31:29
  Um,
• 1:31:30
  as a kid who grew up in the eighties
• 1:31:31
  and then into the nineties,
• 1:31:33
  I was a huge American, um, gladiator fan.
• 1:31:37
  Uh, so I'm super stoked.
• 1:31:39
  And Danny Spiegel will be awesome.
• 1:31:41
  Perfect.
• 1:31:42
  She does her athleticism.
• 1:31:45
  She will kick ass in that show.
• 1:31:48
  Yeah,
• 1:31:49
  she's one of the most athletic
• 1:31:50
  CrossFitters that we have in this space.
• 1:31:53
  And then personality, the look,
• 1:31:56
  I think that's perfect for her.
• 1:31:57
  And she won't have to lock
• 1:31:58
  out a muscle-up.
• 1:32:01
  What'd you say?
• 1:32:02
  She won't have to lock out a muscle-up.
• 1:32:05
  Does she have problems with muscle-ups?
• 1:32:07
  That one year,
• 1:32:07
  there was... Ring muscle-ups,
• 1:32:08
  questionable.
• 1:32:10
  Oh, ring muscle-ups.
• 1:32:11
  I had bar muscle-ups in my mind.
• 1:32:12
  I didn't think about rings.
• 1:32:14
  So that's going to be fun.
• 1:32:15
  I'm excited to see that from
• 1:32:18
  just a gladiator standpoint,
• 1:32:21
  not even Danny, like the gladiator thing.
• 1:32:22
  And then I'll be excited to
• 1:32:23
  see Danny do it.
• 1:32:24
  That's cool.
• 1:32:27
  And then if people didn't see it,
• 1:32:29
  Danielle Brandon made her
• 1:32:30
  grid league debut yesterday.
• 1:32:32
  I saw some clips of like the sandbag one.
• 1:32:35
  Didn't even know she was doing it.
• 1:32:37
  I didn't either.
• 1:32:38
  And all of a sudden it pops up.
• 1:32:39
  I was watching the Houston
• 1:32:42
  thing because Lauren Olson
• 1:32:43
  is a friend of mine and Carolyn's.
• 1:32:46
  And she's on John Young's team.
• 1:32:48
  So I was watching that.
• 1:32:49
  And then I see Danielle
• 1:32:52
  Brandon pop up going up
• 1:32:54
  against Kelsey Keel.
• 1:32:55
  Yep.
• 1:32:56
  And the sandbag toss.
• 1:32:58
  That's a tough matchup.
• 1:33:00
  Kelsey Keel with the sandbag would be.
• 1:33:02
  Oh, Kelsey killed her.
• 1:33:03
  Yeah, that's tough.
• 1:33:05
  Yeah.
• 1:33:06
  But Daniel Brandon made a
• 1:33:07
  grid league debut.
• 1:33:08
  So maybe there's going to be
• 1:33:09
  a little more crossover
• 1:33:10
  with grid and CrossFit.
• 1:33:13
  And maybe that's what both leagues need.
• 1:33:16
  A little bit to energize people.
• 1:33:18
  It's not as bad as it used to be,
• 1:33:20
  in my opinion.
• 1:33:21
  There are some movement
• 1:33:22
  standards that would still
• 1:33:25
  make me want to vomit.
• 1:33:26
  Yeah.
• 1:33:29
  But there is parts of it
• 1:33:30
  that are fun to watch.
• 1:33:31
  Sure.
• 1:33:34
  That sandbag event was fun.
• 1:33:37
  Carolyn, if you didn't see it,
• 1:33:39
  it was increasing sandbags
• 1:33:40
  and increasing heights of a
• 1:33:42
  yoke and you had to put it
• 1:33:44
  up over the yoke and it was
• 1:33:46
  four different stations.
• 1:33:47
  I saw Alex Smith put it on his head.
• 1:33:50
  I saw a video of him and it
• 1:33:52
  smushed his neck and he's like, yeah,
• 1:33:53
  my neck is sore from this.
• 1:33:55
  The last one,
• 1:33:57
  the women had to press it
• 1:33:58
  above their head and Kelsey
• 1:34:00
  just tossed it.
• 1:34:02
  Danielle got crushed.
• 1:34:05
  Yeah.
• 1:34:07
  Between those two and the sandbag,
• 1:34:08
  I would pick Kelsey and anything else.
• 1:34:11
  I would obviously had Danielle.
• 1:34:14
  And then the last thing I
• 1:34:14
  want to talk about,
• 1:34:15
  and it's not going to be long.
• 1:34:17
  There is a new article in
• 1:34:18
  Rolling Stone magazine
• 1:34:20
  about the death of Lazar
• 1:34:22
  Jukic from last year.
• 1:34:26
  And I do want to point out
• 1:34:28
  that if you do read it,
• 1:34:31
  the only people quoted in
• 1:34:33
  the whole article are
• 1:34:34
  people who have sat out
• 1:34:35
  this season as athletes.
• 1:34:39
  So it is very much a one
• 1:34:40
  perspective article.
• 1:34:44
  I believe everybody has the
• 1:34:45
  right to say what they thought happened.
• 1:34:47
  Everybody has the right to
• 1:34:49
  say all that stuff,
• 1:34:50
  but it is not fair and
• 1:34:51
  equitable because there are
• 1:34:52
  no quotes from the other side,
• 1:34:58
  which I found very, very disappointing.
• 1:35:01
  It is a very long article.
• 1:35:04
  Um, and I was reading it and reading it,
• 1:35:06
  trying to find everything I
• 1:35:08
  could before we came on the air tonight.
• 1:35:10
  Um, but it is all from that perspective.
• 1:35:14
  It came out tonight or today.
• 1:35:16
  Uh, I found it this early this afternoon.
• 1:35:23
  Um, but again,
• 1:35:24
  it is all from one side and
• 1:35:26
  a lot of the reporting is
• 1:35:28
  from like Instagram posts,
• 1:35:30
  like quoting Instagram posts.
• 1:35:36
  So, um,
• 1:35:37
  there is Jonathan saying two days ago.
• 1:35:40
  Yeah.
• 1:35:40
  I,
• 1:35:41
  I used to subscribe to Rolling Stone
• 1:35:42
  when I was in college and that was,
• 1:35:44
  it was like, and I haven't really since,
• 1:35:47
  but, um,
• 1:35:49
  and I thought it was a weird
• 1:35:50
  magazine for it to show up in.
• 1:35:52
  Yeah, that is weird.
• 1:35:54
  Because they're primarily a
• 1:35:55
  music magazine after that.
• 1:35:58
  But the guy who wrote the
• 1:35:59
  story worked for the New
• 1:36:01
  York Times and was at the
• 1:36:02
  games last year.
• 1:36:05
  And... But anyway.
• 1:36:09
  And then the only two
• 1:36:10
  reporters that were quoted
• 1:36:12
  are Mike Halpin and Brian Friend.
• 1:36:18
  So...
• 1:36:22
  That's all I really have to
• 1:36:23
  say about that.
• 1:36:25
  If you're looking for fair
• 1:36:26
  and equitable news article,
• 1:36:29
  this is not the one for you.
• 1:36:33
  It is very much one-sided.
• 1:36:40
  The only thing they said
• 1:36:41
  that was kind of on the
• 1:36:41
  other side is that the same
• 1:36:43
  weekend that the Lazar
• 1:36:45
  Jukic thing happened,
• 1:36:47
  two college football
• 1:36:48
  players died that weekend, and...
• 1:36:52
  two marathon runners on the same weekend.
• 1:36:55
  So it must have been just a
• 1:36:56
  bad... I don't know.
• 1:37:03
  But a lot of it, the rest of it was,
• 1:37:05
  it was a lot,
• 1:37:06
  and I'm not going to name names,
• 1:37:07
  but it's a lot of athletes
• 1:37:08
  that are sitting out the season.
• 1:37:13
  So with that...
• 1:37:16
  Back on the good news, you know,
• 1:37:17
  Danielle Brandon was grid.
• 1:37:19
  Danny Spiegel is doing
• 1:37:20
  American Gladiators.
• 1:37:22
  All that's fun stuff.
• 1:37:23
  We'll find out last chance qualifier.
• 1:37:27
  Tomorrow morning.
• 1:37:28
  Unofficially, yeah,
• 1:37:30
  in the middle of the night.
• 1:37:31
  And then officially by Friday for sure.
• 1:37:40
  If they actually review videos.
• 1:37:42
  Netze Milano,
• 1:37:43
  did they give the opportunity
• 1:37:44
  for anyone at CrossFit to say anything?
• 1:37:47
  They quoted official statements from.
• 1:37:51
  But I don't know if that was
• 1:37:52
  just like the press release
• 1:37:54
  that was out or did they
• 1:37:56
  actually call and ask them for opinion?
• 1:38:00
  When you submitted scores,
• 1:38:02
  did you have to submit a
• 1:38:03
  video or is it something?
• 1:38:05
  Yeah, I submitted a link to a video.
• 1:38:07
  Okay.
• 1:38:08
  So it goes to their back end.
• 1:38:11
  So it's not like they're
• 1:38:11
  asking for videos like after the,
• 1:38:14
  after the fact.
• 1:38:15
  So, I mean, I didn't,
• 1:38:16
  I didn't see if there, if I,
• 1:38:19
  I guess I didn't try to
• 1:38:20
  submit without a video,
• 1:38:21
  if that would work.
• 1:38:22
  Cause there's a spot for a
• 1:38:23
  link and I just naturally
• 1:38:25
  put my link there just
• 1:38:26
  assuming that you have to.
• 1:38:28
  I don't know if it would let
• 1:38:30
  you submit without,
• 1:38:32
  but I feel like they're all there.
• 1:38:35
  Most people would, I would assume,
• 1:38:38
  submit with the video.
• 1:38:39
  But there is nowhere that
• 1:38:40
  you wrote the judges' names.
• 1:38:44
  So that was very interesting
• 1:38:45
  to me because that was so
• 1:38:46
  hard for me to find all weekend.
• 1:38:48
  And I got two people
• 1:38:49
  certified this weekend.
• 1:38:51
  All of this work.
• 1:38:53
  And I didn't even have to
• 1:38:54
  put their name down as my judges.
• 1:38:57
  They introduced themselves,
• 1:38:58
  but they don't know how they're spelled.
• 1:39:03
  There's not going to be any...
• 1:39:05
  don't think maybe I'm
• 1:39:06
  assuming right now that
• 1:39:08
  they'll look up their
• 1:39:10
  credentials and like I
• 1:39:12
  worked really hard to try
• 1:39:12
  to get people I had no one
• 1:39:14
  available this weekend and
• 1:39:15
  I'm like wow I don't even
• 1:39:18
  have to put names of people
• 1:39:22
  that's ridiculous so you
• 1:39:23
  wonder if they're even
• 1:39:23
  going to check that because
• 1:39:24
  they don't have it
• 1:39:25
  documented anywhere like
• 1:39:27
  how can they check it if
• 1:39:28
  you didn't tell them who
• 1:39:30
  Well,
• 1:39:30
  I told them and I think on most of them,
• 1:39:32
  I had them on a whiteboard.
• 1:39:34
  I think on the last one that I did,
• 1:39:37
  they only like introduced
• 1:39:38
  themselves verbally, like full name.
• 1:39:41
  So I guess you could go back
• 1:39:42
  and match their faces to
• 1:39:45
  the board of other videos that I had.
• 1:39:48
  But it didn't say anything
• 1:39:49
  that you had to have it
• 1:39:50
  like written down.
• 1:39:51
  Yeah, it doesn't.
• 1:39:54
  Yeah, you're right.
• 1:39:57
  So who knows what the
• 1:39:59
  procedure will be for that?
• 1:40:02
  But yeah, no drop-down names, anything.
• 1:40:05
  Just put your score, a tiebreaker,
• 1:40:07
  and the link to your video.
• 1:40:09
  And then your score pops up right away.
• 1:40:10
  Okay.
• 1:40:16

• 1:40:17
