- 1:02It's lunch time.
- 1:06Stream your hate.
- 1:09I don't know what the hell is going
- 1:11on where StreamYard is muting my mic.
- 1:14I don't get it because I was not
- 1:15muted.
- 1:15It's just yours.
- 1:16It's a good big breath of air to
- 1:20go.
- 1:21It's lunchtime and bam, it's just...
- 1:24And it's like, it's frozen time.
- 1:26It's shit.
- 1:30Maybe StreamYard doesn't like pocket
- 1:31jerking.
- 1:32That's entirely possible.
- 1:34You know who does?
- 1:35This guy.
- 1:40So, Meg,
- 1:43make sure you keep those hands at ten
- 1:44and two.
- 1:46Keep them on the wheel.
- 1:48Rubber side down, Megan.
- 1:50Rubber side down.
- 1:56Ed says,
- 1:56does StreamYard mute you automatically,
- 1:58software updates?
- 2:00It just happened yesterday and today.
- 2:02That's it.
- 2:03It normally mutes us when we play the
- 2:05video.
- 2:06Right.
- 2:06But when I come out of the video...
- 2:09It unmutes the mics.
- 2:10And for some reason, it's not...
- 2:12The last two days,
- 2:13it had not done it.
- 2:14Just on yours.
- 2:15Because mine was perfectly fine.
- 2:17I didn't have to unmute myself.
- 2:19But anyway.
- 2:20Maybe it didn't want to hear about the
- 2:23jerky.
- 2:25Maybe it was jealous of your pouch jerky.
- 2:29No jerky for you.
- 2:32No jerky for you.
- 2:35uh it was good too i was worried
- 2:39i wasn't going to finish the piece before
- 2:41uh the music stopped it's fine just come
- 2:44back come back from there come back from
- 2:46the intro video and just yeah guys don't
- 2:50mind scott he's got a little pocket jerky
- 2:53non-oma jerky so i saw something today it
- 3:00was bizarre but it reminded me of
- 3:03something
- 3:05It was a Lego talking about hiding in
- 3:08the bathroom at work.
- 3:12I don't know why it was a Lego.
- 3:13I don't know why it was a,
- 3:14but I was sitting there thinking,
- 3:16you know, I used to do that.
- 3:18If I was having a bad day and
- 3:20a bad moment,
- 3:21I'd just go in and sit on the
- 3:23toilet, not go to the bathroom,
- 3:25just go in there and hide.
- 3:26Just hang out for a little bit.
- 3:27Sure.
- 3:28It doesn't hit the same when you work
- 3:29from home.
- 3:30No, not exactly.
- 3:32not exactly i will so we own a
- 3:36digital phone system nowadays like we
- 3:38don't actually have real hard phones
- 3:39actually i still have a phone on my
- 3:40desk but we don't use it anymore so
- 3:43if i don't want to be bothered i
- 3:44will i got to go and shut it
- 3:47down completely like stop the system from
- 3:49running on the laptop but that's the only
- 3:50way i can get in here and like
- 3:51not have it ring and not have anybody
- 3:53buzz me or anything like that so i
- 3:55understand plus i'm in a closet so i
- 3:58just close the door i don't close all
- 4:00day long
- 4:03I came home from work six years ago.
- 4:06My desk number never changed.
- 4:10It doesn't reach my PC.
- 4:13And so I don't know if I went
- 4:17into the office and plugged in my phone
- 4:19or if I don't even know if it
- 4:20still exists.
- 4:22It's probably got like seven thousand
- 4:25voicemails on it.
- 4:26If that more than that.
- 4:28Well, you don't get calls from the public.
- 4:30I get calls from the public, too.
- 4:32I did get calls from the public.
- 4:34Oh, gross.
- 4:36See,
- 4:36the system I test and I work on
- 4:39is out there for the public to use.
- 4:42And what I think in twenty twenty,
- 4:44I was still like second tier call center
- 4:47help desk as one of my duties.
- 4:52It's no longer one of my duties.
- 4:53Thank the Lord.
- 4:55Yeah.
- 4:55Nobody wants to be help desk.
- 4:57no especially second level because that's
- 5:00when they go can i speak to your
- 5:01supervisor yeah yeah yeah so they're
- 5:06already pissed off the minute you pick up
- 5:09the phone it's the best people to deal
- 5:12with it is it is i don't get
- 5:15that you never get the layup you never
- 5:17get the oh it's simple i can just
- 5:19fix you here
- 5:21if someone calls here and specifically
- 5:24only wants to deal with me it's because
- 5:25they're either really really angry or they
- 5:28or they're not like or they're you know
- 5:30they're really really happy and just want
- 5:31to tell me something help you know get
- 5:32me to help them with something there's no
- 5:34in between i only want to talk to
- 5:37corey oh fabulous this is probably going
- 5:39to move really well that son of a
- 5:48Yes, David Reed.
- 5:49Second tier help desk equals death.
- 5:51They are pretty much the same thing.
- 5:55Pretty much.
- 5:58I don't know.
- 6:02I don't have a lot of specific things
- 6:03to talk about today.
- 6:04We're going to be all over the map.
- 6:06It happens.
- 6:07You know, Vicky,
- 6:09it won't even take a heavy push to
- 6:11get us off the rails today.
- 6:15i did want to say yesterday crossfit did
- 6:17announce the bikes are coming back so so
- 6:22now we have biking the pool the pig
- 6:28the snail and the hopper earlier this week
- 6:37i was thinking do i even really want
- 6:40to pay the money to go to the
- 6:41games
- 6:44But now that there's bikes,
- 6:45now that you're in, they're like,
- 6:46they say, oh, wait, bicycles.
- 6:48Sign me up.
- 6:50Today I'm going,
- 6:50thank God I bought my ticket on Wednesday.
- 6:54Because everything that used to be cool
- 6:56about the games.
- 6:58All they need to do now is be
- 6:59like, oh, hey,
- 7:00we're bringing back the killer cage.
- 7:03It's been in California this entire time
- 7:05anyway.
- 7:06We just moved it from.
- 7:07What would make me so giddy.
- 7:11If they said we're doing an O course.
- 7:14Oh yes.
- 7:16If they said we're doing an O course,
- 7:19I don't know if I could contain my
- 7:22excitement until July.
- 7:24Well,
- 7:24you don't have to contain it a whole
- 7:25lot longer.
- 7:25It's the.
- 7:26So July is on the corner.
- 7:29Um, I'm with you, dude.
- 7:30Like it's so fun to watch.
- 7:33It really, really is.
- 7:34It is so fun to watch.
- 7:37With, yes.
- 7:39With Rescue Randy.
- 7:40That was my, the sprint, of course,
- 7:42was cool.
- 7:43Like having to run up the logs and
- 7:46whatnot and come over the walls and
- 7:47whatnot.
- 7:47But this, the big long, of course,
- 7:50with the cargo net that, you know,
- 7:52people are falling off of right behind
- 7:54each other for some reason.
- 7:57That was incredible to watch.
- 8:01And you could throw a rescue Randy in
- 8:02any event.
- 8:03I don't care.
- 8:03It could be indoor, outdoor,
- 8:05just a drag them from here to their
- 8:08rescue.
- 8:09Randy toss modification of the softball
- 8:13throw.
- 8:14It's a rescue Randy toss.
- 8:16How far can you throw rescue Randy without
- 8:19his head coming off?
- 8:20Hey, I, uh,
- 8:24I had actually just saved this from
- 8:25Instagram and it's similar.
- 8:31There we go.
- 8:31Cake toss.
- 8:33Just grab Randy under each armpit.
- 8:38Get set.
- 8:41And there.
- 8:45Jason Kelsey showing us how to do it
- 8:47in his captain's hat.
- 8:50He is full on.
- 8:53He is a man of the people.
- 8:55Yeah.
- 8:57That is what he is, man.
- 8:58He's dressed for the boogaloo with the
- 8:59captain's hat and that shirt.
- 9:03And matching shorts, man.
- 9:04I don't know why you wouldn't be.
- 9:09So anyway, Rescue Randy Toss is awesome.
- 9:14Oh, man.
- 9:15Sign me up.
- 9:17Corey's going to die on the toss hill.
- 9:20He wants something tossed.
- 9:24And we don't mean your cookies.
- 9:25He wants something thrown some way,
- 9:29somehow.
- 9:32I was not around.
- 9:33Rescue Randy, football.
- 9:35I was not around.
- 9:36You know what my favorite toss event was?
- 9:38The GHD medicine ball toss.
- 9:40Med ball toss.
- 9:41There you go.
- 9:41Look.
- 9:44Yeah.
- 9:45I was not around for the G.
- 9:48I saw videos of it and I was
- 9:49not around for the softball throw.
- 9:53Just saying.
- 9:53So I know it's not going to happen.
- 9:58I'm not that delusional, but.
- 10:02it's just fun, man.
- 10:03Like go out there.
- 10:05It would be a fun thing for them
- 10:06to do.
- 10:08And it would be a fun thing for
- 10:09us to watch,
- 10:11especially for the people who have never
- 10:13thrown a ball or who have no idea
- 10:16how to, they might have thrown a ball,
- 10:18but they have no idea how to throw
- 10:19a ball.
- 10:22CrossFit is designed to
- 10:25at the base level to help you succeed
- 10:30at living life.
- 10:33Right?
- 10:34And part of living life is tossing things.
- 10:38Yeah.
- 10:40Right.
- 10:42Fundamentally,
- 10:43you should be able to throw something.
- 10:46If a guy throws a grenade at your
- 10:48feet,
- 10:48pick it up and throw it right like
- 10:50throw it back.
- 10:53Pick it up and throw it back.
- 10:53Maybe not the best example.
- 10:56No, but I mean,
- 10:56it's not a terrible example.
- 10:57If it lands at your feet,
- 10:58it has not exploded.
- 11:00You have a fifty fifty shot.
- 11:01Pick it up and throw it.
- 11:02What's the worst thing that could happen?
- 11:03It's going to blow up regardless.
- 11:05If you've never if you have children,
- 11:08you have picked up and thrown your child
- 11:10at some point,
- 11:10whether it be onto a bed,
- 11:12onto a onto a couch, into a pool.
- 11:16somewhere and if not you if you have
- 11:18nieces and nephews you have younger
- 11:20brothers you have picked them up younger
- 11:22sisters whatever and thrown them somewhere
- 11:25i throw things all day
- 11:28whatever the case may be.
- 11:30So why not?
- 11:31Why not have throwing in there at some
- 11:33point?
- 11:33I'm not saying it needs to be a
- 11:34softball.
- 11:34I think that would be hilarious just
- 11:36because.
- 11:39Yeah.
- 11:41Like if I had my pick of what
- 11:42to throw,
- 11:43the GHD med ball toss would be.
- 11:45That'd be pretty cool.
- 11:46Number one.
- 11:48Absolutely.
- 11:49If you're going to throw your kid or
- 11:51throw your niece or your nephew,
- 11:52just don't post it on the internet because
- 11:54everybody will throw hate online.
- 11:57You know what?
- 11:58Let them hate.
- 12:00Because we've only been tossing our kids
- 12:02in the air for a couple hundred years.
- 12:05Maybe even thousands.
- 12:06If you're going to throw your kids in
- 12:07the air,
- 12:07don't do it under a ceiling fan.
- 12:09That's the only hard and fast rule that
- 12:11I have.
- 12:14Just saying.
- 12:18Train says swim with Rescue Randy.
- 12:21That's a...
- 12:25let's not have a drowning thing yeah
- 12:27that's a strong move that went to i
- 12:29think what rescue randy weighed like a
- 12:30hundred and eighty pounds right it was not
- 12:35light only one man did i see actually
- 12:37grab it by one arm and a coal
- 12:42and make it his bitch yeah coal just
- 12:45cold what coal is running with it
- 12:50Everybody else,
- 12:50I remember Ben Smith had it like,
- 12:52had him underneath the arms and whatnot,
- 12:54was trying to drag him backwards and then
- 12:55fell over because he lost his balance.
- 13:00Yeah.
- 13:02Oh, Rescue.
- 13:02Oh, of course, with Rescue,
- 13:03Randy strapped to your back,
- 13:05and if he drops, you're eliminated.
- 13:07Damn, Winter.
- 13:08Man, that's like American Gladiator rules.
- 13:10This is why Winter is not programming for
- 13:12the game.
- 13:19Okay,
- 13:19then I have athletes carry a firefighter
- 13:21rescue mannequin up the hill at Dave's
- 13:22Ranch.
- 13:23That is functional.
- 13:24Carry rescue Randy up the hill.
- 13:27I'm okay with that.
- 13:30So the sandbag sprint,
- 13:33the sandbag hill sprint,
- 13:34but with rescue Randy instead.
- 13:37That would destroy some people.
- 13:39That would be so bad, dude.
- 13:43Three GHD tosses, one at the start,
- 13:46one at fifty reps,
- 13:48one at a hundred reps.
- 13:52So make it a four time and a
- 13:53distance.
- 13:55So like your very first one,
- 13:56sling that ball as far as you can,
- 13:58keep going.
- 14:00Get to fifty or forty-nine,
- 14:01they hand you another ball.
- 14:02As far as you can.
- 14:07So a hundred GHDs for time and we're
- 14:10throwing three med balls for total
- 14:12distance.
- 14:12Total distance.
- 14:15Oh, um,
- 14:22do you think they'll have monkey bars this
- 14:24year?
- 14:25Bring back the killer cage.
- 14:28I'm okay.
- 14:29I'm okay with that.
- 14:29It's gotta be laying around somewhere.
- 14:32It is somewhere.
- 14:34Well,
- 14:34rogue pulled about what to the last year
- 14:37in, um, Austin.
- 14:40Oh yeah.
- 14:43So they've got him around somewhere.
- 14:50And bring Josh Bridges out to demo how
- 14:54to get across it because he was pretty
- 14:55quick.
- 14:58That video that says, Dave,
- 14:59are you pulling from old workouts and
- 15:00shows a lot of stuff that has been
- 15:02announced so far and the video has monkey
- 15:04bars.
- 15:06I did see that.
- 15:09That would be cool as well.
- 15:13While we're at it,
- 15:14bring the watt bike back.
- 15:15Let's go.
- 15:19I really like the dead hang for time.
- 15:21How many hold on for more than two
- 15:23minutes?
- 15:23You must have both hands on the bar.
- 15:28I don't hate that one as like a
- 15:30quick...
- 15:32thing i but i it's got to be
- 15:35a setup where everybody's kind of facing
- 15:37each other like a little dead hang in
- 15:39the round like the first kit like the
- 15:42first uh set of rings they had for
- 15:44amanda for amanda everybody's like doing
- 15:47ring muscle-ups looking at each other uh
- 15:52it was different in austin it was
- 15:53connected to zeus i know andrew that's
- 15:56okay i'm saying they've got monkey bars
- 15:58laying around
- 15:59Yeah,
- 15:59I don't give a shit how they connect
- 16:01it, because I don't know what's with you.
- 16:02Or what they call it.
- 16:04Not at all.
- 16:06But bring it out.
- 16:08Yeah.
- 16:09Let's slide down that big-ass hill that
- 16:11they had out in Austin while we had
- 16:12it, too.
- 16:14So, like, you know,
- 16:15yesterday I gave that radical thought of
- 16:18the change in the games to make it
- 16:20more consumable.
- 16:23Please know that that's not my ideal thing
- 16:27that I want to watch.
- 16:28It's just what I think would be more
- 16:31widely accepted for others.
- 16:34Right.
- 16:35This Games,
- 16:36with all this stuff coming back,
- 16:39has me so dang giddy.
- 16:43I cannot wait to get to the Games.
- 16:46It's going to be fun, dude.
- 16:47It's going to be a good time.
- 16:48And like I said earlier in the week,
- 16:50I was like, meh.
- 16:52Maybe it's better if I just cover it
- 16:53from here.
- 16:55Like now.
- 16:57But now I'm like, no.
- 16:58As soon as they announced biking was back,
- 17:01Scott's like, well,
- 17:02thank God I already got my tickets.
- 17:09Yeah.
- 17:10It has me jazzed up.
- 17:15It truly does.
- 17:16I actually got new stickers made.
- 17:19New stickers.
- 17:21Are they going to go with the shirts?
- 17:22Have we figured out how people are going
- 17:23to pay for them yet?
- 17:25So I think I have it all lined
- 17:27up.
- 17:27I'll probably announce it Sunday night.
- 17:29I still don't have the shirts.
- 17:31So I don't want to get too far
- 17:33ahead of myself until I have them in
- 17:35my possession.
- 17:36Right.
- 17:38But yeah,
- 17:38I have new stickers made too with the
- 17:41Clydesdale playing the saxophone getting
- 17:43jazzy.
- 17:45Getting jazzy.
- 17:48so i'll have those with me at the
- 17:50games too beautiful thing uh watching a
- 17:56competitor really does make a difference
- 17:58in workouts i tried to keep up with
- 18:00our class rx plus male and i'm sore
- 18:04af today level says all day long all
- 18:11day long
- 18:13I think it was Pasley Craig that said
- 18:16he wanted Murph.
- 18:18Excited to see Murph.
- 18:20I like the concept of Murph as a
- 18:23workout and the concept of Murph as like
- 18:26paying tribute to something.
- 18:29To me,
- 18:29it's not the most watchably fun event to
- 18:35sit through for thirty five minutes.
- 18:37No.
- 18:39No, especially if there's it.
- 18:41And I know there, you know,
- 18:43we've gotten better at this since then,
- 18:44but it's hard to tell where everybody's
- 18:46at.
- 18:48No matter what format,
- 18:49no matter what format you put it in,
- 18:51like, especially if, okay,
- 18:52do your a hundred pull-ups,
- 18:54then do you two hundred pushups?
- 18:55That's a lot of reps.
- 18:58So like somebody is up there and doing
- 18:59sets of twenty five or thirty or whatever,
- 19:01and they jump down and without something
- 19:04to count them to say where everybody's at,
- 19:07especially everybody butterfly like that's
- 19:08going real quick.
- 19:10It's easy to lose track.
- 19:11Now,
- 19:11if they're making their way across the
- 19:12floor, you know, twenty, forty, sixty,
- 19:15eighty,
- 19:15a hundred got five bar set up and
- 19:17OK,
- 19:17you got to go to the next one
- 19:19to your next twenty next one.
- 19:21That could help.
- 19:22But man.
- 19:24So the unbroken version,
- 19:25I think they – because you had to
- 19:27do like so many pull-ups per bar and
- 19:29keep moving forward.
- 19:30I think it was twenty.
- 19:31And then there was a grid on the
- 19:32field and you kept moving forward for so
- 19:35many of each.
- 19:37I thought that was pretty good.
- 19:38But when they broke it up the next
- 19:40year and you could do however you wanted,
- 19:44it got a little hard to figure out
- 19:46where everybody was.
- 19:48Yep.
- 19:49Joey.
- 19:50Joey.
- 19:52Dead hang slash staring contest.
- 19:56Cause you know, like Hopper, Pepper,
- 19:59Sprague, Madaris,
- 20:02they're when they're looking around to see
- 20:04who's still there.
- 20:06Absolutely.
- 20:07Looking left and looking right.
- 20:09Patty V.
- 20:10Patty V has said it a couple of
- 20:11times.
- 20:11Something he does probably more than he
- 20:13should is look around to see where
- 20:14everybody else is.
- 20:16Well,
- 20:17you should as a competitor because you
- 20:20don't win more points by winning by a
- 20:22bigger margin.
- 20:24No, not at all.
- 20:25Right.
- 20:26Not at all.
- 20:27I don't have to go faster than –
- 20:29I need to go faster than you.
- 20:31That's it.
- 20:33And we have Tony events coming at you,
- 20:37and, you know,
- 20:40like –
- 20:42surviving the weekend in the best most
- 20:45efficiently is the best way to go about
- 20:48it yep short girl workouts can be exciting
- 20:58because of the speed murph not so much
- 21:02why are we talking about short girls uh
- 21:06short girl workouts short comma girl
- 21:11workouts uh mark phillips the events i
- 21:13like most of the ones i can't just
- 21:15go do an affiliate i would say that
- 21:18that is partially true because i also like
- 21:21the ones that i can go and actually
- 21:23do
- 21:24I'm not doing Atalanta at any given point
- 21:27in time.
- 21:28I'm just not.
- 21:28It's too much.
- 21:30But some of the other stuff like the
- 21:31Friendly Friends of the World and the
- 21:34Jackie Pro and stuff like that,
- 21:37those are also kind of fun because I
- 21:38can go do them and see how much
- 21:42more ridiculous those guys are than I am
- 21:44at any given point.
- 21:46after i'm telling you the uh the marathon
- 21:51row i know personally five different
- 21:53people who went and did a marathon row
- 21:56one of them just did it at his
- 21:57house just to just just to see i'm
- 22:01gonna go ahead and roll a marathon see
- 22:03how long it takes me yeah we did
- 22:06uh one christmas
- 22:08We did not a marathon,
- 22:10but probably a half on Christmas Day,
- 22:14my family,
- 22:15and we would just rotate in and out.
- 22:18And that sucked.
- 22:20Oh, yeah, a hundred percent.
- 22:23It's monotonous.
- 22:23It's as much a mental as it is
- 22:25a physical test because I don't like
- 22:27rowing as it is.
- 22:28And you want me to go for how
- 22:29long?
- 22:31Three and a half, four hours?
- 22:33That's a long time to row.
- 22:36Dave was talking about it with Riley
- 22:38Martin.
- 22:38I forgot that Adrian Munweiler did that in
- 22:41like two... Two something.
- 22:43Two forty-eight.
- 22:46Averaged a one, a high one forties.
- 22:48Which is... Two, almost three hours.
- 22:51Banana's crazy.
- 22:55Banana, na-na-na-na-na-na's crazy.
- 22:58I can't barely do that for two K,
- 23:00much less... Forty-two K. Or however many,
- 23:04I don't know, it's a lot of meters.
- 23:07Yeah, thanks, Ed.
- 23:10I did a half for fun once.
- 23:12Didn't consider I would be blistering
- 23:14between my fingers.
- 23:15I did a five K on a row
- 23:17once and blistered.
- 23:23I've done that, not all the way through,
- 23:27but my rowing intervals has added up to
- 23:30five K before to where we've done,
- 23:32I've done five thousand meters like in a
- 23:33morning,
- 23:34takes about forty five minutes or so,
- 23:35something like that.
- 23:36But that is a long time, dude.
- 23:39With rest and whatnot,
- 23:40that's getting up and each one you get
- 23:42up from, you're like, oh, God,
- 23:43I can barely stand and try to relax
- 23:45yourself a little bit while my timer is
- 23:47going to be able to get on to
- 23:48the next row.
- 23:49That's a lot, dude.
- 23:52I did the first workout from last year
- 23:54before the game started to see how I
- 23:56stood compared to elite athletes.
- 23:59Not too good.
- 24:00Yeah.
- 24:01It's amazing how that works.
- 24:03Do you know why certain people win the
- 24:05CrossFit games?
- 24:08Because they do a half marathon row twice
- 24:10a year.
- 24:13Shano.
- 24:15I say this with all the love that
- 24:16I have in my heart.
- 24:18That's dumb.
- 24:23Love you to death.
- 24:24But that's just silly.
- 24:26There's no way.
- 24:28There's no.
- 24:28We have a rule, not a rule,
- 24:30but it's something that me and Bernard's
- 24:31been saying for years at the gym is
- 24:33that I will happily do a marathon row
- 24:36as soon as I make it to the
- 24:37games and they program it there.
- 24:40Everybody's doing it.
- 24:41Cool.
- 24:42Let's go.
- 24:44And she does that and can't imagine doing
- 24:46a whole one.
- 24:47Yeah.
- 24:48Well, I can imagine it for you.
- 24:50Take the two halves that you do and
- 24:53put them together and imagine doing it all
- 24:56at once.
- 24:59Okay.
- 25:01So I had this brilliant idea one time
- 25:03that I was going to run a marathon.
- 25:05First of all, I'm a Clydesdale.
- 25:08Even at my smallest,
- 25:09I'm still a big dude.
- 25:10Right.
- 25:11Right.
- 25:14I,
- 25:14so I did like a bunch of five
- 25:16Ks.
- 25:16I went to some five milers and then
- 25:19I said,
- 25:19I'm going to go to a quarter marathon
- 25:22and I was going to leak my way
- 25:23up.
- 25:23Right.
- 25:23Sure.
- 25:25I ran that quarter marathon.
- 25:27I finished and said,
- 25:29there is no way on God's earth that
- 25:32I'm going longer than this.
- 25:35Whoever does is out of their ever loving
- 25:38mind.
- 25:39So you did like a ten K.
- 25:42yeah it's a little bit longer than a
- 25:43ten k but sure like it's six five
- 25:47quarter marathon six five six six
- 25:49something like that where a ten k is
- 25:51like six two six point two yep so
- 25:55yeah it's it not that that's a huge
- 25:58difference but when you're big like me and
- 26:00oh no believe me you know the worst
- 26:02the worst part of a five k is
- 26:04it's not the three it's the point one
- 26:06point one
- 26:08Yeah.
- 26:08A lot of,
- 26:09I've heard people say the marathon,
- 26:10the twenty six miles were fine.
- 26:11It was the point to the point to
- 26:13get you, which is the thing, dude,
- 26:15when you get that,
- 26:16when you get that close to the end
- 26:18and you're like, I just gotta,
- 26:20I just gotta finish.
- 26:21And you're like,
- 26:21you hit point two ordinarily is nothing.
- 26:25You can sprint point two.
- 26:27You get to that point two and you've
- 26:28already done twenty six.
- 26:29You're like that.
- 26:32The half I did in Savannah.
- 26:36that they told us was flat,
- 26:38which FYI was not,
- 26:40you made a turn right at,
- 26:44it was like, so you had, you know,
- 26:47point three miles left to go.
- 26:49And you,
- 26:49when you made a turn to make that
- 26:51last little push, it was uphill.
- 26:55And I was like, you have got,
- 26:56this is not even this, this is,
- 26:58this is wrong on every conceivable level.
- 27:01And you make it all the way up
- 27:02the hill.
- 27:03And like, it was so slow going, dude,
- 27:04it felt like I was running on in
- 27:06sand on in mud under water,
- 27:08like all of the things.
- 27:09And you can make a little right turn
- 27:11right there to go across the finish line.
- 27:12It's probably the rest of the race was
- 27:15fine.
- 27:16That was probably the most miserable
- 27:17experience I'd had.
- 27:18I had run in quite some time.
- 27:20So that quarter marathon ended at a
- 27:22hospital.
- 27:23I don't know if that was planned or
- 27:26what,
- 27:27but you'd run it and the last little
- 27:31bit you come off the street and up
- 27:35through where the ambulance would come in
- 27:37and drop people off.
- 27:39Naturally.
- 27:41So we're running this thing and my wife
- 27:43is in front of me the whole time
- 27:46because she used to run all the time.
- 27:49and and i could see her i just
- 27:51couldn't catch her she just keeps this
- 27:53steady pace where she never gets faster
- 27:56she never gets slower she just keeps going
- 27:57right we we go to make that turn
- 28:01into the the driveway of the hospital and
- 28:05mr rigamortis man it must have come down
- 28:07and slapped my wife on the back literally
- 28:11she's like two hundred yards from the
- 28:13finish totally cramped up the worst
- 28:19And so, like, me and my buddy,
- 28:20we catch her and we pass her.
- 28:23And after the race, she's yelling at me.
- 28:26You couldn't let me have this one?
- 28:28You couldn't let me win it?
- 28:30Whoa, whoa.
- 28:31You had it in the bag.
- 28:33You had it in the bag.
- 28:36All you had to do was finish the
- 28:37last two hundred yards.
- 28:38It's not my fault.
- 28:40Yeah,
- 28:40I've been trying to catch you for the
- 28:41last however many miles it's been.
- 28:43Six miles.
- 28:44Six miles I've watched you from behind.
- 28:46Yeah.
- 28:48And you want to be mad at me
- 28:49because you cramped up at the end?
- 28:51Nah, bro.
- 28:51We ain't doing that.
- 28:52No, sir.
- 29:03I ran a half an Indianapolis thirty five
- 29:05years ago,
- 29:05ended on the Indy five hundred racetrack
- 29:08on hot black asphalt.
- 29:10One lap around.
- 29:11It was miserable.
- 29:12I'd imagine.
- 29:15The best race I've ever run and.
- 29:19is uh it's a five miler it a
- 29:22four miler it ends on the ohio state
- 29:25football field you come down the tunnel
- 29:29that the players come out of you go
- 29:31up around the the other end zone and
- 29:33you come back finish on the fifty yard
- 29:36line yep we got one and they broadcast
- 29:38it on the jumbotron
- 29:42So much fun.
- 29:44I hate the Buckeyes.
- 29:45I hate everything about Ohio State.
- 29:47But that run,
- 29:48when you get to run down that tunnel
- 29:50and out onto that football field,
- 29:52it was like a jolt to finish.
- 29:55Oh, yeah.
- 29:56Unlike that one that ended at a hospital,
- 29:58there was no jolt to get you to
- 30:01the end.
- 30:03the uh there's one like that lsu tiger
- 30:05tenk and it's also got a one mile
- 30:07fun run for the kids so we i
- 30:09brought jameson this year and we did the
- 30:11in the same thing just across the fifth
- 30:13yard line and poor baby she's never run
- 30:15a mile before right and she's eight okay
- 30:19so we take off and she's all right
- 30:21she's good and oh my legs hurt i
- 30:23said they're gonna hurt you're gonna be
- 30:24all right so you know we did that
- 30:26a couple different times walk a little bit
- 30:28come on baby let's go
- 30:30So she's been to Tiger Stadium before.
- 30:32We've been to football games.
- 30:33She loves it.
- 30:34As soon as we made the turn where
- 30:36we could actually see the stadium,
- 30:40her whole demeanor changed.
- 30:41It was like, look,
- 30:42all we got to do is run down
- 30:43there.
- 30:43We're going to make a right,
- 30:45and we're going to go in the stadium.
- 30:47And all of a sudden, nothing hurt anymore.
- 30:50And then right when we made the turn,
- 30:51she kind of yanked a little bit,
- 30:53and she saw inside and was like, oh,
- 30:55we really are running into Tiger Stadium.
- 30:57And I was like, oh, yeah, I know.
- 30:58And I had to catch her because she
- 31:00just took off in a dead sprint.
- 31:04Like,
- 31:04we're going to get across the finish line.
- 31:06And it was cool.
- 31:07Same thing.
- 31:07Like,
- 31:08they're calling your name as you come in
- 31:09because, you know,
- 31:10they got your little tag on you so
- 31:11they know who you are and whatnot.
- 31:13It was pretty awesome.
- 31:15But it was fun for her because I
- 31:16was like,
- 31:16look at where you are right now.
- 31:18And she's like, daddy.
- 31:20football players play down here and i was
- 31:22like i know that's cool that's a cool
- 31:26experience yeah that was awesome one of
- 31:28those one of those things that you you
- 31:31got to love to do with your kid
- 31:34yeah it was pretty fun it's pretty awesome
- 31:36um core memory right there so one of
- 31:42the other things i want to talk about
- 31:43it looks like the leaderboard's done oh
- 31:45there has not been much movement in the
- 31:47last couple days
- 31:49Yeah, it's usually a pretty good time.
- 31:50People are announcing on their Instagrams
- 31:52that all their videos have been accepted.
- 31:55Doesn't look like we're going to see much
- 31:56movement at the top.
- 31:58Look,
- 31:58Xanojun has put out a video about Colton
- 32:00Mertens.
- 32:02They have.
- 32:03So it looks like Pat Vellner is going
- 32:04to get to go one last time.
- 32:07He is one point ahead of Ari Lightfoot.
- 32:10Oh, wow.
- 32:11Ari made it all the way up to...
- 32:13One point behind Vellner.
- 32:15Damn.
- 32:17Yep.
- 32:18But looks like... Harry Lightfoot.
- 32:25Looks like Vellner's going to get to go
- 32:26one last time.
- 32:28I'm excited for him.
- 32:29Yeah.
- 32:30I mean,
- 32:30that's what he wanted to do was go.
- 32:31He wanted one last shot, so... Um...
- 32:37Kate Curry,
- 32:38I saw the additional sanctions for judging
- 32:39misrepresentations.
- 32:41Did Claudia Gluck get in trouble or no?
- 32:44It was not Claudia Gluck that had the
- 32:46misrepresentation.
- 32:48It was Jess Green.
- 32:49It was Jess Green.
- 32:50She made a big post about it,
- 32:51like a whole thing.
- 32:53She actually brought up some good points
- 32:54about...
- 32:56She said she notified CrossFit as it was
- 32:59happening.
- 32:59Right.
- 33:01So I think if she did that...
- 33:04That probably exempts her from the
- 33:06sanctions.
- 33:06I would think so.
- 33:08She said as soon as she realized what
- 33:09was happening,
- 33:10she went out and tried to get ahead
- 33:11of it.
- 33:12Now, that's her side of the story.
- 33:14We don't have CrossFits.
- 33:16But as she described it,
- 33:19the minute she knew that her judge didn't
- 33:21have the qualifications, she notified HQ.
- 33:24Yep.
- 33:27She'd make a decent point about, okay,
- 33:29yeah,
- 33:29I'm sorry my judge didn't have his
- 33:30qualifications and whatnot.
- 33:33Still submitted her videos.
- 33:35They got rejected, whatever,
- 33:36because the rules are the rules.
- 33:38I get that.
- 33:40I did understand,
- 33:41even though it's outside of the rules,
- 33:43her point about,
- 33:44here's my actual videos showing the actual
- 33:46work that y'all are going to look at
- 33:48anyway.
- 33:52I get that, but at the same time,
- 33:56your judges weren't
- 33:58Your judge wasn't accredited like they
- 33:59were supposed to be.
- 34:01Correct.
- 34:04I can argue the validity and how stupid
- 34:07rules are.
- 34:08Right.
- 34:09But they're the rules.
- 34:09But you still have to follow them.
- 34:11Yeah.
- 34:11They're still the rules.
- 34:13I get what you're saying.
- 34:14If you're going to compete in the season,
- 34:16you have to follow the rules as written.
- 34:18Yeah.
- 34:19Everybody's subject to the same thing.
- 34:22now hopefully for her sake it is as
- 34:24she stated she did contact hq before
- 34:27submitting right and and that exempts her
- 34:31from getting a a sanction the other one
- 34:34i read about on on the spin the
- 34:38the judge the person who misrepresented
- 34:41the judge the person who they were
- 34:44supposed to be representing the affiliate
- 34:46owner who apparently knew about it and the
- 34:49athlete all got sanctions
- 34:51Yeah.
- 34:53I was like, wow.
- 34:54I think that's pretty much the
- 34:56consistent... If, in fact,
- 35:00there's misrepresentation, the athlete,
- 35:03the floor judge,
- 35:03and the head judge all get sanctioned.
- 35:06Yeah.
- 35:10Yes, Joseph.
- 35:11It is on her...
- 35:14It is on her to verify.
- 35:16She said they verified it verbally.
- 35:19Right.
- 35:19We have learned through last year at
- 35:22Mayhem that verbal verification is not
- 35:25good enough.
- 35:27It's not good enough,
- 35:28ladies and gentlemen.
- 35:28If you are trying to qualify for the
- 35:30games,
- 35:30here is Clydesdale's top tip of the week.
- 35:34Go online.
- 35:35Do your homework.
- 35:36Vet these people before you let them judge
- 35:40you.
- 35:41Period.
- 35:42End of story.
- 35:44If you want to avoid it altogether,
- 35:45qualify for an in-person and go get judged
- 35:48live and in person.
- 35:49Can't go wrong like that.
- 35:50However,
- 35:51if online is your only resort or your
- 35:54best resort, cool.
- 35:56Take it upon yourself to go vet whoever
- 35:59it is.
- 36:00Have it set up in advance long enough
- 36:02to where you can go and vet them.
- 36:04Yes, Joseph Ramirez.
- 36:06Verbally,
- 36:06I can tell you I'm five foot eleven.
- 36:09And I've met Joseph Ramirez and I can
- 36:11verify that is not the case.
- 36:17David Johnston still thinks I'm six feet
- 36:19tall and he's met me in person.
- 36:25True.
- 36:27Which has nothing to do with what we
- 36:28were just talking about.
- 36:29I just thought it was funny.
- 36:32Kate, you're one hundred percent correct.
- 36:34If you're not verifying online before your
- 36:37event, you start the events,
- 36:39you're setting yourself up for failure,
- 36:41unneeded stress.
- 36:43Don't trust somebody who just tells you
- 36:46something when it comes to something like
- 36:49that,
- 36:49if you are trying to achieve a goal,
- 36:51an end goal, a result and just going,
- 36:54oh, yeah, no, I got everything I need.
- 36:56Oh, yeah, cool.
- 36:57No,
- 36:57they said they had everything they needed.
- 37:00You're asking for trouble.
- 37:03Eric Mackey, the only Packers fan I like,
- 37:06think CrossFit will change that judgment
- 37:08requirement next year since they are
- 37:10irrelevant due to video review.
- 37:13I think the season's going to be a
- 37:14massive change.
- 37:16I think it has to be economically,
- 37:19and it has to make sense.
- 37:22And so I think we are in for
- 37:25a massive change next year,
- 37:29just from stuff I've heard Bruce say
- 37:30already.
- 37:33I'm super curious to see how it's going
- 37:34to lay out,
- 37:35especially considering next year is the
- 37:36year I'm pushing to actually make the
- 37:37games to see how it's going to end
- 37:40from the stuff we heard from this year.
- 37:42Because I'm pretty sure Kate had talked to
- 37:45Boz as well while we were over there
- 37:47and him saying that they were going back
- 37:50and Magic City was going to be another
- 37:52in-person for Masters next year and
- 37:54whatnot.
- 37:54So how much of that is
- 37:58was wishful thinking at this point because
- 38:00it's going to be changed.
- 38:01If there's going to be changes,
- 38:02how much is going to look like,
- 38:04how drastic it's going to be one way
- 38:06or the other,
- 38:07if they're just going to completely just
- 38:08hand it off to whoever,
- 38:11whether it be Joe and Bob,
- 38:12whether it be Micah,
- 38:13whether it be whatever.
- 38:15I'm super curious to see how that's
- 38:16actually going to lay out.
- 38:19Almost apprehensive, I would say,
- 38:21because I want to be a games athlete
- 38:24and I can't be a games athlete if
- 38:26there's no games.
- 38:28It would be very difficult to do.
- 38:30I think if you talk to Boz at
- 38:31Magic City, Bruce had not been hired yet.
- 38:34That's what I'm saying.
- 38:36So your idea of what next year was
- 38:38going to be at that point probably is
- 38:40not the same as what it is today.
- 38:42That's exactly my point.
- 38:45Yeah.
- 38:46Yeah.
- 38:49I'm actually not a Packers fan.
- 38:50See,
- 38:50that's probably why I like you're the only
- 38:52Packers fan I like because you're not
- 38:54actually a Packers fan.
- 38:59Which I need to call Eric this weekend.
- 39:02So we'll set that up.
- 39:04I'll text to Eric.
- 39:07Avera, I hate to harp on your point,
- 39:08Corey,
- 39:08but why in the hell do you need
- 39:09two judges and a video?
- 39:10Please make it make sense.
- 39:12Brother, I do not know.
- 39:15We have been talking about that since they
- 39:17implemented it.
- 39:19If I am submitting a video to be
- 39:22reviewed,
- 39:23why do I need two judges in person
- 39:26to
- 39:27watching me, judging me,
- 39:30one to be in charge of everything,
- 39:32and one to be actually judging me,
- 39:35it seems like overkill.
- 39:37It's a lot.
- 39:39You're asking for two people to have their
- 39:42L-Ones, have their very least their L-One,
- 39:46have their judging certificate,
- 39:50whether it be the advanced judge's course
- 39:51or the judge's course.
- 39:53And to give up their entire weekend,
- 39:55more than likely,
- 39:56to have everything in there.
- 39:58No,
- 39:58it is not a KL Lehmann rule because
- 39:59it was in place before KL Lehmann was
- 40:02a thing.
- 40:03Correct.
- 40:04Well, my question is,
- 40:06even if there was no video review,
- 40:07what does the head judge actually do?
- 40:09I'm going to tell you what mine did.
- 40:11Nothing.
- 40:11Nothing.
- 40:13He stood there and acted silly as I
- 40:16was introducing them because that's what
- 40:17they had to do because that's who they
- 40:19were.
- 40:19They were doing push-ups at one point
- 40:22while I was introducing them.
- 40:24And then either Bernard or Jeff was
- 40:28actually judging me.
- 40:29They were doing bicep curls in the
- 40:32background at one point while I was
- 40:34introducing them.
- 40:35That's what they did.
- 40:37Yeah, I mean,
- 40:38every elite athlete I've talked to says
- 40:40their head judge is there because they
- 40:43have to be there.
- 40:44They have to be there.
- 40:44But they don't do anything.
- 40:46Yeah.
- 40:48So at that point, you're like,
- 40:50why do we even have them?
- 40:53No.
- 40:53It's like you're cut and you put a
- 40:58Band-Aid on it because you need to have
- 41:01a Band-Aid so the blood doesn't come out.
- 41:04But we're requiring you to put three more
- 41:06on.
- 41:06A hundred percent.
- 41:08And what do those three more do?
- 41:09Absolutely nothing.
- 41:12If you have kids and you've ever seen
- 41:14the emperor's new groove, he has a lever,
- 41:19one of them that goes down at the
- 41:21supposed to go to their lair.
- 41:22And the other one goes down to where
- 41:23the alligators are and then come back.
- 41:26They pull the wrong one at one point.
- 41:27Like, why do we even have that lever?
- 41:29It makes no sense whatsoever.
- 41:35Head judge equals good for the intro and
- 41:37a hug when you're finished.
- 41:38Yeah.
- 41:40I got daps every single time.
- 41:42Hey, man, good job.
- 41:44But do you need certification for the hug?
- 41:49No.
- 41:50Because I am certified as an amazing
- 41:52hugger.
- 41:55Here's a fun fact is that those are
- 41:58two of my best friends in the entire
- 42:00world.
- 42:01I hug them all the time.
- 42:03Like,
- 42:04they didn't have to get a judge's course
- 42:06at all for that.
- 42:08It's not certified.
- 42:09They didn't need to be certified for that.
- 42:11They are.
- 42:14The head judge thing is mind-blowing to
- 42:16me.
- 42:17I don't get it.
- 42:19Peter Benoit,
- 42:21I guess the head judge is supposed to
- 42:22be quality control,
- 42:23ensuring non-fake bumpers and non-doctored
- 42:26measuring tape, I guess.
- 42:28But your floor judge has the same
- 42:30credentials and should have the same moral
- 42:33integrity.
- 42:36Here's my problem.
- 42:37You know how much trouble it is?
- 42:39I wouldn't even know where to find a
- 42:41fake bumper plate.
- 42:45None at all.
- 42:46I have no idea.
- 42:48wouldn't know how to doctor a measuring
- 42:50tape.
- 42:51Because here's the thing,
- 42:52I got one at my house and I
- 42:54got one at the gym.
- 42:55The one at my house is for stuff
- 42:56at the house.
- 42:57The one at the gym,
- 42:58I actually brought from my house to use
- 42:59at the gym.
- 43:01And I'm not about to doctor it because
- 43:02I might need it for something to actually
- 43:04measure something.
- 43:06See, I completely agree.
- 43:08If they're a good judge,
- 43:09they give you the opportunity, correct?
- 43:12a bad or missed rep without a redo.
- 43:14Yeah.
- 43:15But do you need two of them?
- 43:16I don't need.
- 43:17Yeah.
- 43:17What are you going to argue over it
- 43:19in the middle of my workout?
- 43:27Scott,
- 43:28is there a chance in hell the bears
- 43:29will actually ever play in Indiana?
- 43:31Seems like a game of chicken.
- 43:33I think you've said it best.
- 43:39I think that the bears do not want
- 43:40to go to Indiana,
- 43:42but it may be their only option.
- 43:45And right now they are playing a massive
- 43:48game of chicken to see who,
- 43:51who's who steers out of the way first.
- 43:56But I think like Kevin Warren has his
- 43:58shoelace tied to the tractor gas and can't
- 44:02get off.
- 44:02Oh, where's the, where's the,
- 44:11you're trying to pull up okay i am
- 44:12no not that one guys on it where's
- 44:14that there it is joseph next year we
- 44:17need a judge head judge phone judge clock
- 44:20judge floyd marshall and the rental
- 44:22property manager and a um an ai and
- 44:27graphics expert to analyze the video after
- 44:30it's done send them along with the video
- 44:33give me give me their contact information
- 44:35with the video
- 44:37Joseph's not wrong.
- 44:39That's how silly it is to me to
- 44:41just have,
- 44:43we need to have two people there.
- 44:45And I get Mark saying,
- 44:47Boz implied at one point,
- 44:48it's hard to have three people conspire to
- 44:49cheat than it is one or two.
- 44:51And you're probably not wrong as far as
- 44:53that goes.
- 44:56And look,
- 44:57people are getting caught cheating on a
- 44:59regular basis.
- 45:00Yeah, because gangs don't exist.
- 45:02Thank you.
- 45:03That's what I was about to get at.
- 45:05But that's like saying that the Bloods and
- 45:08the Crips are really solid organizations
- 45:10because how could a group with that many
- 45:11people possibly be doing something
- 45:14nefarious?
- 45:16If you've got enough people there that
- 45:17want to see you succeed at any cost,
- 45:21they are going to do whatever you want
- 45:23to do.
- 45:24Because especially Jeff...
- 45:29uh he does tactical games but he doesn't
- 45:32compete in crossfit anymore he can't he
- 45:33can barely go overhead like his shoulder
- 45:35mobility is is is dusted right so he
- 45:38does tactical game stuff so if he gets
- 45:41a two-year ban for cheating for me because
- 45:46he said that the my forty-fives were
- 45:47forty-fives and they were actually
- 45:48thirty-fives it's no sweat off his back he
- 45:51wasn't gonna compete anyway
- 45:56So I'll do you one better though.
- 45:58There's a hundred and one members of the
- 45:59Senate and they do everything on the up
- 46:03and up.
- 46:04Exactly.
- 46:07Just saying.
- 46:09Exactly.
- 46:11So there's a four hundred thirty five
- 46:13people that make laws in this country and
- 46:16they are always just have your best
- 46:19interest at heart the entire time.
- 46:21Yep.
- 46:22That is the response to this.
- 46:24yeah it's less likely for six people to
- 46:28have lied now i do get that like
- 46:31concept that the more people involved the
- 46:36the the more likely somebody's going to
- 46:38report the yeah somebody's conscious
- 46:42somebody's conscious will get rubbed on
- 46:45you know one way or another if there's
- 46:47enough people in it and somebody sees
- 46:49something and realizes oh wait that's not
- 46:52right
- 46:53hundred percent i get we have a hundred
- 46:55one people in the senate and they don't
- 46:57even like each other and they do wrong
- 47:00all the time daily daily so there's that
- 47:10uh xenon is this weekend it is i
- 47:14know people that are going can't stream it
- 47:17but
- 47:18I'm hoping we get a lot of internet
- 47:20peeks at what's going on through Instagram
- 47:23or YouTube or different things like that.
- 47:27And I'm excited.
- 47:31I want to see what it looks like.
- 47:33I want to see what they pull off.
- 47:35I want to see if this is something
- 47:37that is sustainable.
- 47:38they've got funding they've got good
- 47:41athletes they've got a neat concept is it
- 47:45something that could eventually be
- 47:47viewable is it something that is
- 47:49sustainable
- 47:51My buddy Chris Real,
- 47:52that is going to the games,
- 47:54is competing this weekend.
- 47:56Garrett DiBetta is competing this weekend.
- 47:59Sammy Pugh is competing.
- 48:00So I know people that's going.
- 48:02Personally, that's going.
- 48:03So I should be able to get a
- 48:04pretty good report back of how it is.
- 48:06And they're not going to blow smoke up
- 48:07my ass.
- 48:08They're not going to be like, oh,
- 48:09it was fantastic,
- 48:10and it was shit the entire time.
- 48:13Jason Bourne's going to be there.
- 48:17One of my photographers, Joe Valens,
- 48:19is going to be there.
- 48:20Joey!
- 48:23So yeah,
- 48:23we should definitely get some feedback on
- 48:26what it's like.
- 48:30I'm excited, dude.
- 48:30I kind of want to see.
- 48:34If I could have made it,
- 48:34I would have went.
- 48:35It looks like fun.
- 48:37Yeah, I would have loved to.
- 48:40If I had the disposable income and the
- 48:42vacation time,
- 48:44I would have went down to check out.
- 48:45If I already wouldn't have been committed,
- 48:47I mean, I'm going to Monster Games,
- 48:51and that's a flight and a place to
- 48:53stay and all that other good stuff.
- 48:55And it's at the end of next month.
- 48:59Then, yeah, I definitely would have gone.
- 49:01But time constraints and money and all
- 49:06that other good stuff being what it is.
- 49:09Vera, WFP has good funding, good athletes,
- 49:11good coverage.
- 49:12Do you think it will survive?
- 49:13Yeah.
- 49:14Well, first of all, before it launched,
- 49:18I was a supporter of the WFP.
- 49:22I thought that if they did it well
- 49:24and did it right, it could survive.
- 49:27Not just survive, but thrive.
- 49:31I haven't made my schmear alert yet.
- 49:34But then they threw all of that in
- 49:37the garbage by just trying to rehash
- 49:40everything that's been done before.
- 49:42And
- 49:44not even do it at a level that
- 49:46made sense.
- 49:50So I do think they've made adjustments.
- 49:53I do think they've put the right person
- 49:55in as president.
- 49:57And I'd still say their chances of
- 49:58survival are.
- 50:06I would put it higher going in as
- 50:09something that would have been cool and
- 50:10different.
- 50:11Yeah.
- 50:12But then they let me down on all
- 50:13that.
- 50:14So now I'm down to like,
- 50:15and I do have faith in Jason Ainsley.
- 50:19A hundred percent.
- 50:20I was going to say that,
- 50:21but let's see how this year of their
- 50:24stuff goes out before I make any kind
- 50:26of, you know,
- 50:29proclamations or whatever you want to call
- 50:31it.
- 50:31I'm going to Indianapolis.
- 50:32I'm going to,
- 50:33I'm going to go see it firsthand.
- 50:36Are you on incognito?
- 50:40No.
- 50:41Well, I don't have it in writing,
- 50:44but in our chat,
- 50:45Patrick Clark said I was approved for
- 50:47media credentials.
- 50:48Oh, all right.
- 50:51So I am going to go check it
- 50:54out.
- 50:55Again, I don't have that in writing.
- 50:57Still waiting on that.
- 50:58Here to smear.
- 51:01Clydesdale Media, here to smear.
- 51:07um really hope they put out post videos
- 51:11of final heats and not just some reels
- 51:14i just want to get a sense of
- 51:15what it's like and we do have some
- 51:16people there that i can i will get
- 51:19direct feedback of yeah here's the thing i
- 51:22don't know
- 51:24Because you're competing for points,
- 51:26right?
- 51:26It's not necessarily head-to-head with
- 51:28people.
- 51:29You're just trying to accumulate as many
- 51:30points.
- 51:30So I don't know about final heats.
- 51:33I don't know because it doesn't really
- 51:34matter when you go necessarily.
- 51:38You're just going for points.
- 51:39So you're going for a max effort pretty
- 51:42much every time.
- 51:42And there's only like two hours in between
- 51:44events or an hour in between events,
- 51:46something like that.
- 51:46So it ought to go pretty quick.
- 51:50So I don't... I mean, they put out...
- 51:52I would say they put out...
- 51:53I don't want to say...
- 51:56full videos of a heat but like put
- 51:58out some reels of notable people that are
- 52:01there you know notable performances that
- 52:03happen right right right people like
- 52:06colton people like uh what's her face
- 52:10isn't abby going dome it
- 52:12yeah yeah um stuff like that i would
- 52:15love to see that that would be pretty
- 52:18cool um and who knows i'm super curious
- 52:21i'm in uh my wife's out of town
- 52:25this weekend so i'll be able to actually
- 52:27watch like look out for stuff like that
- 52:30uh that kind of content and actually be
- 52:31able to uh be able to check it
- 52:33out without her going what are we watching
- 52:36yep uh um
- 52:44Someone asked, here it is.
- 52:46Think IndyWFP will get more high-level
- 52:49qualifiers?
- 52:49I don't think they should.
- 52:51I think they need to right-size into
- 52:54giving those people the opportunity that
- 52:56are just on the outside looking in during
- 52:58the CrossFit Games season.
- 53:00Let them earn some money.
- 53:01Let them pay for their season.
- 53:03Let them be able to fund their attempt
- 53:06at finally making the CrossFit Games.
- 53:09getting some good on the floor competition
- 53:11against, against people who are there.
- 53:14I cannot express how valuable that is to
- 53:17get that kind of floor experience to see,
- 53:20you know, for pace and whatnot.
- 53:21It's one thing to do local cops that
- 53:24are around and whatnot.
- 53:25And maybe you get some good, you know,
- 53:26people that show up,
- 53:27people are good to your area or whatnot,
- 53:29but WFP is going to have,
- 53:31or should have in my,
- 53:33I would say both of our opinion,
- 53:35A lot of those people who are just
- 53:37on the outside looking in,
- 53:38it's an easy way to make some money,
- 53:42to get out there and get good experience
- 53:44against the same caliber of athlete that
- 53:47you are.
- 53:49I like it for that, for sure.
- 53:52Seema,
- 53:53my brain doesn't have the space to follow
- 53:54another league.
- 53:55I can barely understand this CrossFit
- 53:56season.
- 53:58I'm with you.
- 53:59I love college football.
- 54:00I love the NFL.
- 54:02I can't watch the UFL.
- 54:04Like I'm over it by then.
- 54:05Is it, that's a, is it,
- 54:08is it still United football league?
- 54:10It's a combination of the USFL and the
- 54:13XFL.
- 54:16So it's like pro pro wrestling and
- 54:19football.
- 54:22It's just a minor league football system
- 54:25for people to try to make it to
- 54:27the game.
- 54:27I don't watch minor league baseball.
- 54:29I don't watch minor league,
- 54:31like the D league basketball.
- 54:33We don't give a damn about any of
- 54:35that.
- 54:36The only kind of lower league stuff I
- 54:37will watch because it's not that much
- 54:39different quality and it has something to
- 54:42do.
- 54:42And it's,
- 54:42this is me being a very niche thing
- 54:44is,
- 54:45is like the championship soccer league.
- 54:51in england because they'll sometimes those
- 54:53games will be on and you might be
- 54:54able to see somebody's going to be in
- 54:55the premier league next year that's it but
- 54:59like all those lower league you know
- 55:01whatever you just said ufl i'm not
- 55:03watching any of that dude that's if i
- 55:05want to watch lower league football lower
- 55:07league football i'll watch college
- 55:08football uh ufl games are fun to go
- 55:11to it's like mixing nfl with college and
- 55:13high school scrub football um i think it'd
- 55:17be fine to go to in person we
- 55:18have a team here in columbus
- 55:21I just can't watch it on TV.
- 55:24I'm with Ramir.
- 55:26Going to a game,
- 55:28there's a I guess you would call it
- 55:32a semi-pro soccer team in New Orleans.
- 55:35We've been to the Jesters several
- 55:37different times and those games are fun as
- 55:38shit to go to.
- 55:40Because it's just
- 55:42It's small.
- 55:43It's, I say smaller, you know,
- 55:44smaller crowd, but they're loud.
- 55:46They're enthusiastic.
- 55:47They're getting behind their team and
- 55:48whatnot.
- 55:48And it's good,
- 55:49high quality stuff to watch.
- 55:53I'd imagine if there was a UFL game
- 55:56around here,
- 55:57like if we had a team in New
- 55:57Orleans or team in Baton Rouge or
- 55:59something like that,
- 55:59I'd probably go check that out at some
- 56:00point.
- 56:01It would be cheaper to get into and
- 56:03easier to get into an LSU game.
- 56:05That is for damn sure.
- 56:06And way cheap.
- 56:07Like,
- 56:07we go to the Columbus Clippers AAA team
- 56:10for the Cleveland Guardians.
- 56:13It's fun to go to.
- 56:14It's a fun.
- 56:15And it's way cheaper than going to the
- 56:16Major League Baseball game.
- 56:19And they do more to, like,
- 56:20entertain the crowd between innings.
- 56:22Oh, yeah.
- 56:23It's more of a,
- 56:23there's a lot more spectacle going on.
- 56:25There's a lot more, like you said,
- 56:26just it's more entertaining because they
- 56:28have to be.
- 56:29Right.
- 56:30Right.
- 56:31To be more engaging,
- 56:32to get people to come, hey,
- 56:33we're throwing t-shirts out in between
- 56:35every inning and whatnot and giving away
- 56:38this and giving away that and doing
- 56:40whatever they can because they want to get
- 56:41butts in the seats.
- 56:43Whereas people going to an actual MLB game
- 56:47are going because it's an MLB game.
- 56:50I will say this.
- 56:50We saw the Seattle Mariners last year.
- 56:54The day we got off of the cruise
- 56:56ship,
- 56:57the day after we got off the cruise
- 56:58ship, whatever it was,
- 57:00and they did a lot.
- 57:03They did a lot at that professional game
- 57:05as well.
- 57:07That was actually pretty fun.
- 57:08That was the first professional game I'd
- 57:10been to in God only knows how long.
- 57:12But, yeah, like Joe was saying,
- 57:14you can go because you can get sideline
- 57:16seats for twenty-eight bucks.
- 57:17Yep.
- 57:20Just to move on, Peter Benoit asks,
- 57:22what's the heart of AmericaComp?
- 57:24Same weekend place as WFP.
- 57:27WFP is partnering with other local comps
- 57:30that have grown into bigger comps.
- 57:33The heart of AmericaComp is one of the
- 57:34biggest competitions in the Midwest.
- 57:37It was in Missouri for years.
- 57:40They've moved it to Indianapolis in a
- 57:42partnership with WFP.
- 57:44And the simplest way I can put it,
- 57:46and I think it's actually a pretty
- 57:47brilliant idea by them,
- 57:49is if you can't build the community,
- 57:51buy the community.
- 57:54And so by bringing this local comp in,
- 57:56they have a full local comp with all
- 58:00of those athletes coming and their
- 58:02families, in addition to the WFP crowd,
- 58:06to hopefully build up the crowd more like
- 58:08a Wadapalooza.
- 58:09you can,
- 58:10it's a brilliant idea if you can pull
- 58:12it off, right?
- 58:13Right.
- 58:14This crowd's already here.
- 58:15Cool.
- 58:15We're going to be there as well.
- 58:18They're doing the same thing at monster
- 58:19games.
- 58:20I actually got an email yesterday or day
- 58:23before from the people from the monster
- 58:25games, people saying that if I wanted to,
- 58:28I had a free invitation to heart of
- 58:32America.
- 58:33So that's,
- 58:35Thank you for being a part of Monster
- 58:36Games every year.
- 58:37Athletes from across the country, blah,
- 58:38blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 58:39As a thank you,
- 58:40we are offering an exclusive opportunity
- 58:41to all Monster Games participants.
- 58:42Free entry to Heart of America.
- 58:45Join us August twenty through thirty at
- 58:47Grand Sports Campus in Westfield, Indiana.
- 58:51Just for being over there,
- 58:52and I'm sure they're doing that or able
- 58:55to do that because of the WFP thing
- 58:58that they're partnering with and throwing
- 58:59money at them.
- 59:00That's pretty cool.
- 59:02Riley says the current fitness competition
- 59:04model is stale to me.
- 59:05Some post-produced miniseries or some
- 59:07other kind of spectacle would be nice.
- 59:10Tune in to go back and watch yesterday's
- 59:12show.
- 59:12I had a radical plan to do just
- 59:15that.
- 59:16Everybody hated it except for me.
- 59:18But regardless,
- 59:21I think it would bring in other people
- 59:23that don't normally watch the stuff.
- 59:27I will agree with Vera.
- 59:29I don't agree with a whole lot there,
- 59:30my brother,
- 59:30but not sure how the Granite Games died,
- 59:32but they need to come back.
- 59:35I love the Granite Games.
- 59:36The Granite Games was fun.
- 59:38It was fun to watch.
- 59:39It was fun to watch.
- 59:40I didn't get to go, obviously,
- 59:42but it was one of the ones I
- 59:43got to see because it was broadcast,
- 59:45and it was pretty cool to watch.
- 59:46That's the first time I ever saw Colton
- 59:47Mertens,
- 59:47and that's when he still had the mullet
- 59:49that people probably at this point do not
- 59:51realize he used to have.
- 59:55As long as it's not J.Y.
- 59:56's draft idea, I may be in.
- 59:59It is not J.Y.
- 1:00:00's draft idea.
- 1:00:01Drafts are stupid.
- 1:00:01I didn't even know J.Y.
- 1:00:03had a draft idea, but that's unsurprising.
- 1:00:07Yeah, it's not.
- 1:00:08I'm just like,
- 1:00:10are you shaking your head like, no.
- 1:00:13It's not.
- 1:00:17Terry says, yes,
- 1:00:18you need time away from the sport to
- 1:00:19actually miss it.
- 1:00:22I agree.
- 1:00:22I agree.
- 1:00:25We had the talk earlier this week about
- 1:00:27with all these semifinals doing all these,
- 1:00:30this variety of events,
- 1:00:32you don't miss any of the movements or
- 1:00:34the events when you go to the CrossFit
- 1:00:36games,
- 1:00:37because everybody's had their hand in the
- 1:00:39cookie jar.
- 1:00:41Yep.
- 1:00:41Back in the day,
- 1:00:42there were six events people got to see.
- 1:00:45And those same six events were done at
- 1:00:48eighteen different locations.
- 1:00:50But they were the same six events.
- 1:00:52So when the games came,
- 1:00:53you wanted to see a thruster or you
- 1:00:55wanted to see a ring muscle up because
- 1:00:57you didn't get to see it earlier in
- 1:00:59the year.
- 1:01:00When you had an idea where it was
- 1:01:01going, what was coming anyway,
- 1:01:02because we already did this, this,
- 1:01:04this and this,
- 1:01:04we're probably not going to do it again.
- 1:01:08Yeah.
- 1:01:09And there's very little offseason now.
- 1:01:13Games are going to be at the end
- 1:01:14of next month.
- 1:01:15There's going to be a short break.
- 1:01:17Then it's going to be Rogue.
- 1:01:18Then it's going to be a short break.
- 1:01:20And then basically you got from Rogue
- 1:01:22until January,
- 1:01:25and then we're going to start talking
- 1:01:25about the Open again.
- 1:01:28Plus whatever changes are going to be made
- 1:01:34that Bruce is going to start talking about
- 1:01:36probably after the games is going to be
- 1:01:37out there.
- 1:01:41So I have two videos to close this
- 1:01:44out today.
- 1:01:47Just so we can leave on some levity.
- 1:01:49Love it.
- 1:01:50Can I just tell you,
- 1:01:52I love Sophie Cunningham.
- 1:01:55Dude.
- 1:01:56yes i'm glad this meme has taken over
- 1:02:00the world i sent it to my wife
- 1:02:02earlier this is the meme this is the
- 1:02:04meme right this is the meme and and
- 1:02:09i know she's kind of the enforcer of
- 1:02:12um the indiana fever and and so she's
- 1:02:18she's doing that like she got a tech
- 1:02:20for that my first interpretation was
- 1:02:25want me i'm right here i'm right here
- 1:02:28then i saw this which is a full
- 1:02:32on version of the thing right so the
- 1:02:35other team is pointing at her yeah she's
- 1:02:38pointing back oh yeah i absolutely adore
- 1:02:49that woman
- 1:02:51Yes.
- 1:02:53She backs down from nobody.
- 1:02:55She ain't scared, dude.
- 1:02:57Unafraid.
- 1:02:58I love it.
- 1:02:59Unafraid.
- 1:03:00And she's not like what you would picture
- 1:03:04as an enforcer.
- 1:03:05No.
- 1:03:07But she backs down from nobody.
- 1:03:12No.
- 1:03:12From what I read,
- 1:03:14she refused to quit the point.
- 1:03:18And that's why she ended up getting a
- 1:03:19technical because she just kept
- 1:03:22And you know what?
- 1:03:23She don't care.
- 1:03:24No.
- 1:03:25You can get one.
- 1:03:26That's not a big deal.
- 1:03:28Just can't get two.
- 1:03:29The last thing I want to show you
- 1:03:30is we announced it a couple weeks ago
- 1:03:34on the Sunday show.
- 1:03:35Carolyn is starting a new program called
- 1:03:38Plyo by Prevo.
- 1:03:42Do you know who needs to be the
- 1:03:43first person to sign up?
- 1:03:46Miley Wade.
- 1:03:48Oh.
- 1:03:49Do you want to see why?
- 1:03:50By all means.
- 1:04:01So let's check this out one more time.
- 1:04:04We good.
- 1:04:05We good.
- 1:04:05We good.
- 1:04:06Not good.
- 1:04:12So we need to direct message Miley Wade
- 1:04:15and tell her you need to sign up
- 1:04:17for Plyo by Prevo.
- 1:04:18Carolyn can help you out.
- 1:04:21She'll get you over that second to last
- 1:04:23hurdle and the last one.
- 1:04:26So close.
- 1:04:27Just right there.
- 1:04:29Just right there.
- 1:04:30It's like right there.
- 1:04:32Right there.
- 1:04:33Right there.
- 1:04:33That's fantastic.
- 1:04:35But what's funny is like Carolyn has been
- 1:04:36a big believer in this like for a
- 1:04:38long time.
- 1:04:39Sure.
- 1:04:40Like she doesn't just talk about it.
- 1:04:41She lives it.
- 1:04:42And I have seen so many people working
- 1:04:46on the plyometrics and their athletics
- 1:04:49over the past couple past week or so
- 1:04:53that are games athletes going to the
- 1:04:54games.
- 1:04:57And you know they're waiting for the
- 1:05:00sprints.
- 1:05:01They're waiting for the hurdles.
- 1:05:02They're waiting for those things that are
- 1:05:03going to be coming at them that we
- 1:05:05haven't seen in years.
- 1:05:06And that has me giddy too.
- 1:05:09That is anticipation right there,
- 1:05:10as they should be.
- 1:05:13As they should be,
- 1:05:13because those things are coming.
- 1:05:16I saw the Pancheck brothers doing suicide
- 1:05:18sprints.
- 1:05:21Like you're, I've seen a lot of hurdles.
- 1:05:24I've seen a lot of people working on
- 1:05:26plyo that they have not been working on.
- 1:05:28I've not seen for a long time.
- 1:05:31Cause look, Tony events, dude,
- 1:05:33like that's a full deck of cards that
- 1:05:37they're sitting there holding on to.
- 1:05:39And okay.
- 1:05:40Yeah.
- 1:05:40The pig's going to be back and then
- 1:05:44that's it.
- 1:05:44Right.
- 1:05:45Hey, the snail also making the comeback,
- 1:05:48but I'm not telling you how.
- 1:05:51right hey bikes bikes and that's it like
- 1:05:57we're gonna ride a bike pool pool yeah

- 1:06:07jump on it get all the way across
- 1:06:10i love it yeah i love avera always
- 1:06:16coming in with the blunt
- 1:06:19Yeah,
- 1:06:19have elite athletes work on plyometrics.
- 1:06:21CrossFit will force them to step down from
- 1:06:23boxes.
- 1:06:27We had thirty inch box jumps.
- 1:06:28I coached thirty inch box jumps Wednesday
- 1:06:30morning and one dude that was like
- 1:06:34finishing up right at the time cap and
- 1:06:36like he had
- 1:06:38He's like, man, this is so step down.
- 1:06:40I was like,
- 1:06:41you don't have to step down.
- 1:06:42You can jump down while we're here.
- 1:06:43I said, but while we're talking about it,
- 1:06:45yeah,
- 1:06:45they said I'm five foot six with a
- 1:06:47twenty nine inch inseam.
- 1:06:48And they made me step down off of
- 1:06:50this thirty inch box three years ago for
- 1:06:52semifinals.
- 1:06:52So.
- 1:06:54I understand it's silly.
- 1:06:56Let's be honest for you and Joseph
- 1:06:58Ramirez.
- 1:06:58It's not a step down.
- 1:06:59It's a climb down.
- 1:07:02I had to, so it was just jumps.
- 1:07:06It wouldn't even jump over is where I
- 1:07:07could like pivot and just step down all
- 1:07:09the other side.
- 1:07:10So it was like, jump,
- 1:07:12stand all the way up, bend back down,
- 1:07:15reach my leg back down to get off,
- 1:07:18reached in and kind of pivot.
- 1:07:20Dude, it was so bad.
- 1:07:21It was so bad.
- 1:07:26I'm stepping down cause I need the rest.
- 1:07:30Yeah.
- 1:07:30I love that.
- 1:07:33Oh, no,
- 1:07:33I'm just going to go ahead and step,
- 1:07:34man.
- 1:07:34I'm tired.
- 1:07:34That's fantastic.
- 1:07:38We saw Miley Biffett.
- 1:07:41So as requested in the chat,
- 1:07:45let's see someone.
- 1:07:52This dude here.
- 1:07:55And he didn't make the games again.
- 1:08:00He's so close, dude.
- 1:08:04you know what though everybody's pulling
- 1:08:05for him he's such a i mean he
- 1:08:07comes off as such a good kid like
- 1:08:08yeah you know what that reminds me of
- 1:08:14is little lucas parker ah i missed some
- 1:08:18lucas parker
- 1:08:21that uh that video him doing the hang
- 1:08:23power cleans with his beard down to like
- 1:08:26right here and like the barbell is just
- 1:08:28missing it every single time it was uh
- 1:08:35oh gosh darn it the voice of the
- 1:08:37crossfit games saying uh rumor has it that
- 1:08:40he actually uses that barbell to trim his
- 1:08:42beard
- 1:08:47showing and he was just he's doing that
- 1:08:50and like it's his beard stopped and the
- 1:08:52barbell was hitting right where the beard
- 1:08:53stops roommate has to use that barbell to
- 1:08:55clean to to actually trim his beard the
- 1:08:59only problem with lucas parker is he
- 1:09:00extended the game's time by about an hour
- 1:09:04every day because of his setup for every
- 1:09:06lift tap tap fantastic dude
- 1:09:17Nate Ackerman is young and a beast.
- 1:09:19He'll make it soon.
- 1:09:20I hope so, man.
- 1:09:21He's got plenty of time, dude.
- 1:09:24I understand his frustration.
- 1:09:25I get it,
- 1:09:26being so close and not being able to
- 1:09:28make it.
- 1:09:30It can be taxing on the old noggin
- 1:09:33there, but I think he'll be all right.
