  Welcome to Sunday, Sunday,

  Bears over Vikings.
• 1:02
  I can hear now, I think.
• 1:03
  Walk off field goal to win the game.
• 1:07
  Yes.
• 1:09
  That one I can get behind.
• 1:11
  The Penn State can't get behind.
• 1:16
  I honestly,
• 1:17
  I didn't think they had a shot,
• 1:18
  but then I saw your team.
• 1:19
  Yeah.
• 1:26
  Blah, blah, blah.
• 1:29
  Oh, what a good day.
• 1:30
  What a good day.
• 1:32
  The bears are seven.
• 1:33
  It's Scott that I can't hear,
• 1:35
  but I could hear Jamie.
• 1:36
  Hmm.
• 1:36
  That's weird.
• 1:39
  Can you hear me, Jamie?
• 1:40
  I know,
• 1:40
  I know Ken Walters can hear me.
• 1:42
  I can hear you.
• 1:42
  Fine.
• 1:45
  i hear jamie and that's it oh that's
• 1:49
  not good so um yeah well keep messing
• 2:02

• 2:09
  i don't hear a
• 2:12
  Um, Rams one, two.
• 2:15
  Yeah.
• 2:15
  Cross that can still hear me.
• 2:17
  So you Caroline, you didn't nobody.
• 2:20
  Yeah.
• 2:20
  That's the problem that you can't hear
• 2:21
  Scott.
• 2:23
  Why am I not being,
• 2:24
  why am I not able to hear Scott,
• 2:25
  but I can hear you.
• 2:27
  I don't know.
• 2:28
  That's really weird.
• 2:29
  Like one speaker's working and one isn't,
• 2:32
  but you're not hearing me.
• 2:32
  So it doesn't matter what I say.
• 2:33
  Sorry guys.
• 2:37
  Penn State may have to still pay Virginia
• 2:39
  Tech's coach.
• 2:40
  They're going to have to pay him
• 2:41
  regardless.
• 2:43
  The fifty five million is out the door.
• 2:45
  You know, we'll just we'll keep going.
• 2:49
  But, yeah, it's been a good weekend.
• 2:52
  I tried to talk smack with Jamie this
• 2:54
  weekend,
• 2:54
  but it's hard to talk smack when she
• 2:56
  was already defeated before the game even
• 2:58
  started.
• 2:58
  Exactly.
• 3:00
  I was resigned to that one.
• 3:03
  Yeah.
• 3:04
  Yeah.
• 3:06
  It was a pretty good weekend there.
• 3:08
  I did watch the first episode of the
• 3:10
  new season of Landman tonight.
• 3:11
  I haven't seen that.
• 3:12
  Right before the show.
• 3:15
  Yeah, right before the show.
• 3:16
  Damn, it is off and flying.
• 3:20
  So good.
• 3:20
  So good.
• 3:23
  And I got to catch up on Tulsa
• 3:24
  King probably tomorrow or Tuesday.
• 3:27
  Yeah,
• 3:28
  you guys make me feel like I need
• 3:29
  to watch that show.
• 3:33
  Tulsa King, I'm just a big Stallone fan.
• 3:35
  So for me, it was a win.
• 3:39
  And then when I got into it,
• 3:45
  the storyline has gotten better and better
• 3:47
  each season, in my opinion.
• 3:51
  So I've been really,
• 3:53
  really excited about that.
• 3:54
  I'm just going on the typical...
• 4:02
  whatever Thursday, Tuesday night,
• 4:03
  still watching Matlock.
• 4:05
  I'm really annoyed with high potential
• 4:07
  being on like an extra long break.
• 4:10
  Me too.
• 4:11
  That's just silly.
• 4:13
  Yeah.
• 4:14
  I watched Matlock too,
• 4:15
  but this season I'm, I'm, I don't know.
• 4:18
  I'm kind of like, yeah, I hear you.
• 4:24
  It's yeah.
• 4:26
  Yeah.
• 4:27
  But I love those paramount plus shows.
• 4:29
  So they're big.
• 4:34
  what made Tulsa King better this season is
• 4:36
  Robert Patrick is playing the villain.
• 4:37
  Okay.
• 4:38
  He is,
• 4:38
  he played the T two T one thousand
• 4:41
  in Terminator two.
• 4:41
  Okay.
• 4:43
  Um, and he is awesome.
• 4:45
  So awesome.
• 4:48
  Uh, Jody is, uh,
• 4:50
  watch is saving land man,
• 4:51
  watching Billy Joel.
• 4:53
  The Billy Joel documentary is awesome.
• 4:55
  Okay.
• 4:56
  So good.
• 5:03
  any intimate scene in Tulsa King feels
• 5:05
  like a Cialis commercial.
• 5:07
  I get where you're coming from with that.
• 5:09
  I've just always been a Stallone fan,
• 5:12
  always been a Stallone fan.
• 5:13
  And so I've been really, um,
• 5:15
  pumped to see that.
• 5:16
  So, uh, Dan Church,
• 5:20
  the last series I watched on TV was
• 5:21
  lost when it originally aired.
• 5:24
  That's a long time ago.
• 5:25
  Wow.
• 5:26
  That's crazy.
• 5:27
  That's a long time ago.
• 5:30
  I took my microphone off,
• 5:31
  and I can hear you guys now.
• 5:32
  Perfect.
• 5:34
  Awesome.
• 5:35
  I will not use this tonight.
• 5:37
  All right.
• 5:37
  We'll figure that out.
• 5:38
  You sound a little tinny, but it's okay.
• 5:42
  We will take it.
• 5:43
  We'll take it.
• 5:46
  And yes, Ken, I know the Lions.
• 5:47
  Well, they start in twelve minutes.
• 5:50
  Apparently,
• 5:51
  the Lions got scheduled every single
• 5:52
  Sunday night game this year.
• 5:55
  It's ridiculous.
• 5:55
  I know.
• 6:01
  I'm going to attempt it one more time.
• 6:05
  No, no, no, no.
• 6:06
  Don't.
• 6:07
  We'll take what you got.
• 6:12
  We'll take what you got.
• 6:13
  Yeah.
• 6:14
  I don't want to risk it.
• 6:16
  You muted right away.
• 6:17
  So I don't know.
• 6:18
  Not meant to be tonight.
• 6:20
  Not meant to be.
• 6:24
  crossfit says new alien series was good
• 6:26
  ending stunk don't you hate that when you
• 6:28
  invest like in a series the whole way
• 6:31
  and then the ending just is like i
• 6:34
  hate that i guess she doesn't teach the
• 6:39
  av club math and phys ed yep um
• 6:50
  so speaking of which first of all
• 6:54
  We have to make an announcement.
• 6:56
  If you haven't noticed,
• 6:58
  if you haven't noticed,
• 6:59
  down in the bottom of our screen,
• 7:02
  we have a new sponsor.
• 7:04
  Sponsor of the show is Thirdsy.
• 7:08
  We've been talking with them for a few
• 7:09
  months.
• 7:10
  I've been giving it a try for people
• 7:12
  who've been following my journey.
• 7:14
  I've been having a hard time sleeping with
• 7:16
  my sinuses.
• 7:17
  And so I started using Thirdsy a couple
• 7:21
  times.
• 7:22
  months ago,
• 7:23
  and it has changed my sleep pattern
• 7:24
  completely.
• 7:26
  I went from getting two hours straight
• 7:29
  sleep to like six hours straight sleep.
• 7:32
  And it has been game changing for me.
• 7:36
  Overall,
• 7:36
  like my days are better because I'm
• 7:39
  sleeping better at night.
• 7:41
  I'm able to get a lot more done.
• 7:42
  I'm more productive during the day.
• 7:45
  And the biggest thing for me is I've
• 7:47
  tried melatonin and it makes me feel
• 7:49
  awful.
• 7:50
  And this has no melatonin in it.
• 7:53
  So it's really good.
• 7:55
  It's got some collagen in it to help
• 7:57
  you recover.
• 7:59
  John George, you just asked the question.
• 8:01
  Nope, no melatonin in it at all.
• 8:04
  um it's melatonin free it includes ten
• 8:07
  grams of grass-fed collagen um it does if
• 8:10
  you are an athlete it's been tested by
• 8:13
  um informed sport so it is pure and
• 8:16
  you can use it safely um so that's
• 8:19
  a big key too um so yeah
• 8:22
  It's a great product.
• 8:23
  Here's this is the new flavor.
• 8:26
  It is salted caramel chocolate.
• 8:29
  You can mix it with either water or
• 8:31
  milk and you can do it hot or
• 8:33
  cold.
• 8:34
  And I have not tried it yet.
• 8:35
  I cannot wait to try it.
• 8:37
  I have it here for tonight.
• 8:41
  I have the strawberry lemonade.
• 8:43
  right here, um,
• 8:45
  that I've been using pretty, uh,
• 8:47
  frequently.
• 8:48
  Um,
• 8:49
  but I'm going to sip it on the
• 8:50
  show.
• 8:50
  And then as soon as we're done with
• 8:51
  the show, I'm go out,
• 8:52
  out like a light.
• 8:54
  Um, so super excited about that.
• 8:56
  Super excited.
• 8:56
  They've jumped on board with us.
• 8:58
  They're a great, great organization.
• 9:00
  And you can get
• 9:10
  So third C.com use the code Jazzy.
• 9:15
  Why am I not surprised?
• 9:17
  That's the code.
• 9:18
  Well, it makes sense, right?
• 9:19
  It does.
• 9:20
  It makes sense.
• 9:22
  And, uh, I want to make it easy.
• 9:25
  Don't people want to spell Clydesdale or
• 9:27
  anything like that?
• 9:29
  Just Jazzy J A Z Z Y.
• 9:31
  Love it.
• 9:34
  There you go.
• 9:36
  So super excited about that.
• 9:37
  Thank you to them.
• 9:38
  Uh,
• 9:40
  Can't wait to try this new flavor.
• 9:43
  But excited that I'm actually sleeping at
• 9:45
  night.
• 9:47
  You got to put the code Jazzy at
• 9:49
  the bottom too.
• 9:49
  Yeah.
• 9:51
  For the next show.
• 9:52
  I have to do what?
• 9:55
  Put the code on the screen.
• 9:56
  Besides like thirsty at the bottom,
• 9:57
  you got to put the code Jazzy right
• 9:58
  there.
• 9:58
  I actually had a banner made and I
• 10:00
  accidentally deleted it.
• 10:01
  Putting in pencil pen Sharpie.
• 10:03
  Yeah.
• 10:06
  So it'll be up there next time.
• 10:08
  I promise.
• 10:11
  But I have that limited space down there.
• 10:13
  I don't want to go so small you
• 10:15
  can't see it.
• 10:18
  Anyway.
• 10:18
  Wow.
• 10:19
  Something squeaked.
• 10:22
  I plugged in my laptop.
• 10:25
  It wasn't plugged in.
• 10:28
  My daughter's going to be home in five
• 10:30
  days for Thanksgiving.
• 10:34
  On Thursday or Friday?
• 10:35

  That's awesome.
• 10:51
  Carolyn doing the remix.
• 10:53
  Yeah.
• 10:53
  We'll get this figured out for next week.
• 10:57
  so well super stoked for thirdsy coming on
• 11:00
  super stoked my daughter's coming home um
• 11:02
  but someone had a really big weekend and
• 11:05
  i've been dying all day to talk to
• 11:07
  her about it so this weekend was the
• 11:10
  everyday heroes service cup at crossfit
• 11:13
  mayhem and carolyn participated in that as
• 11:17
  an educator there were five categories
• 11:20
  firefighter police officer military
• 11:24
  education and medical
• 11:27
  And they all had teams and they competed
• 11:29
  against each other.
• 11:30
  And from that Carolyn,
• 11:33
  what were your biggest takeaways from the
• 11:34
  weekend?
• 11:37
  That's pretty sweet.
• 11:41
  So first place belt buckle trophy.
• 11:48
  Very nice takeaways.
• 11:51
  It was just such a refreshing competition
• 11:54
  to compete with athletes.
• 11:57
  that like I can relate on like different
• 12:00
  things with them.
• 12:01
  Like we shared a lot of experiences on
• 12:04
  how we get our training done,
• 12:06
  like during our busy days and stuff like
• 12:08
  that,
• 12:08
  whether it was like educators or
• 12:10
  firefighters, people working shift,
• 12:13
  like shift work and stuff like that.
• 12:15
  So really cool just to meet awesome people
• 12:18
  like the whole weekend.
• 12:20
  I didn't even know my partner prior to
• 12:21
  competing, met her like in person there.
• 12:25
  We had never worked together and just
• 12:26
  like,
• 12:27
  The whole group of athletes,
• 12:29
  male and female, were awesome.
• 12:32
  And then Mayhem as the gym and people
• 12:37
  there treated us so well the entire
• 12:40
  weekend.
• 12:41
  Made it seem like it was their Mayhem
• 12:44
  classic.
• 12:46
  We had the Womp area.
• 12:47
  They gave us jerseys, t-shirts,
• 12:50
  had pictures for us.
• 12:52
  They gave us dinner the Friday night.
• 12:57
  And then during the competition day,
• 12:59
  we had snacks provided for us the whole
• 13:01
  time.
• 13:02
  Like, they had a snack room with, like,
• 13:05
  all the goodies that you can think of.
• 13:07
  And then they had Chick-fil-A, like,
• 13:08
  little breakfast things.
• 13:10
  And then they had Chick-fil-A lunch for
• 13:11
  us, desserts.
• 13:13
  They had, like, everything provided.
• 13:14
  Gatorade.
• 13:16
  Anything that you can ask for when you're
• 13:17
  competing.
• 13:17
  Like,
• 13:17
  they just know what the athletes will
• 13:19
  want.
• 13:19
  And, like, we had it.
• 13:22
  They even paid for our accommodations when
• 13:25
  we were there.
• 13:26
  Like, it was...
• 13:29
  That's awesome.
• 13:30
  Awesome.
• 13:30
  And that was it.
• 13:33
  Uh, Larry,
• 13:34
  I will get with them as soon as
• 13:36
  the show's done and I'll shoot you a
• 13:38
  DM.
• 13:39
  Um,
• 13:39
  they told me it was up and running.
• 13:41
  So I'll just,
• 13:42
  is it potentially three Z's like third Z?
• 13:46
  Um,
• 13:47
  I'll let Carolyn keep talking and I will
• 13:49
  look, look up the email real quick.
• 13:51
  And then, uh,
• 13:54
  Yeah,
• 13:56
  so like we were well taken care of
• 13:57
  the whole time.
• 13:59
  The workouts, you know,
• 14:00
  they were simple but hard.
• 14:04
  Nothing that was super high skilled,
• 14:06
  nothing like super heavy in terms of like
• 14:09
  no max lift.
• 14:10
  Like you won't see a max lift program
• 14:12
  by Mayhem ever really in a six sport
• 14:17
  event like weekend.
• 14:19
  So the workouts were, you know,
• 14:22
  workouts that everyone could do.
• 14:25
  Um,
• 14:25
  and you just have to put your head
• 14:26
  down and, and, and go, uh, yeah.
• 14:29
  So the events were great.
• 14:32
  And then at lunchtime on the one day,
• 14:35
  on the one day, the same day,
• 14:37
  there was also like a partner DT with
• 14:39
  a bunch of just OGs throwing down.
• 14:41
  So that was really cool just to see
• 14:42
  them, um,
• 14:43
  taking on twelve minute AMRAP of DT where
• 14:46
  they had to like alternate rounds back and
• 14:48
  forth.
• 14:49
  Uh, yeah.
• 14:51
  So you had, it was there.
• 14:54
  Austin rich were team, um, Don fall.
• 15:02
  He was with Dre was there row Rory
• 15:07
  versus boss.
• 15:08
  Oh, they teamed up though.
• 15:10
  This time.
• 15:11
  Okay.
• 15:12
  Um, Taylor self,
• 15:14
  I forget the one guy that that's his
• 15:17
  name.
• 15:19
  Um, Jenny was there with,
• 15:20
  I think it's Heather Lawrence was with her
• 15:23
  as a partner.
• 15:24
  This one guy, Adam Davidson from Canada,
• 15:28
  went to the games before as well.
• 15:30
  He was with Dre.
• 15:31
  Just a bunch of people throwing down in
• 15:33
  the middle at lunchtime.
• 15:35
  So pretty cool.
• 15:37
  Who won that?
• 15:39
  I don't know.
• 15:39
  They just finished and walked away.
• 15:41
  I see.
• 15:43
  Yeah.
• 15:44
  All sweaty.
• 15:44
  At least they were able to get a
• 15:47
  workout in.
• 15:48
  I think that's cool that they got the
• 15:49
  community involved like that.
• 15:51
  Just, you know, I did look it up.
• 15:52
  It is what she has typed out is
• 15:54
  capital J a Z Z Y.
• 15:57
  And that's what it is.
• 16:00
  So Jazzy J capital J a Z Z
• 16:01
  Y. So you need the capital J probably.
• 16:02
  Maybe that was the issue.
• 16:07
  That's how she typed out.
• 16:08
  She didn't say anything about whether it's
• 16:11
  case sensitive or not.
• 16:12
  Um, but she,
• 16:13
  that's how she typed it out in the
• 16:14
  email.
• 16:17
  So try that Larry.
• 16:21
  So I, I only was able to,
• 16:24
  I only caught on Jenny and dense updates
• 16:28
  feed the first event,
• 16:29
  the one with the bike.
• 16:30
  I saw that you won that one.
• 16:32
  Um, did you win every event?
• 16:34
  Uh, no.
• 16:36
  So we had, we had six sport events.
• 16:40
  Um,
• 16:41
  the first event was ad Cal echo bike.
• 16:46
  a certain amount of feet of farmer carry,
• 16:48
  sixty.
• 16:50
  Bench press.
• 16:51
  Bench press, farmer carry,
• 16:53
  finished with eighty ecobike.
• 16:54
  We were like the last ones off the
• 16:56
  first round of ecobike.
• 16:57
  We were the last ones off and then
• 16:58
  we ended up catching up a lot on
• 17:00
  the bench press and the back half of
• 17:02
  it.
• 17:03
  So we won that one.
• 17:04
  We won all the workouts but workout number
• 17:07
  five A.
• 17:08
  So part A was like thirty cal row,
• 17:12
  thirty GHD
• 17:15
  you had partner one go and then once
• 17:20
  the partner one finishes partner two goes
• 17:23
  like okay um we the military girls they
• 17:30
  were second the whole the whole weekend
• 17:32
  they were they um they were pushing us
• 17:34
  the whole weekend they they sent it on
• 17:37
  that one um so ray when the second
• 17:40
  person finishes
• 17:43
  Then the first part,
• 17:44
  the first partner comes back and does
• 17:47
  burpee getovers, GHD row.
• 17:49
  And then that total time counts.
• 17:52
  So we stayed a little bit more
• 17:54
  conservative on the first end,
• 17:55
  hoping that like the full workout was
• 17:58
  gonna, like,
• 17:59
  we were gonna catch up by the full
• 18:00
  workout,
• 18:01
  but we didn't expect them to go as
• 18:02
  hard, um, on that.
• 18:04
  So I had some catching up to do,
• 18:07
  um, on the first end of it,
• 18:09
  I made up some ground and then on
• 18:11
  the back half,
• 18:13
  I made up the ground to overtake and
• 18:17
  we won the overall time on that one.
• 18:21
  Was your partner pretty well matched to
• 18:24
  you?
• 18:25
  She was good.
• 18:26
  Yeah.
• 18:27
  She's done semifinals before.
• 18:28
  Okay.
• 18:31
  Don't know if she did it last year,
• 18:33
  but she's done some before.
• 18:36
  So yeah, she was good.
• 18:40
  Where did Megan and Shanae finish?
• 18:44
  I think they finished last this weekend.
• 18:46
  Aw.
• 18:46
  That's sad.
• 18:49
  It's tough because there's only five teams
• 18:50
  competing, right?
• 18:51
  So for the most part,
• 18:55
  it was us one, then military second,
• 18:58
  and then there was kind of juggling
• 18:59
  between the other three teams,
• 19:02
  but there was a separation, I would say,
• 19:05
  between the top two there.
• 19:07
  Did Jack's team win, the men's side?
• 19:10
  Yes.
• 19:12
  They ended up sweeping.
• 19:14
  They got all six.
• 19:15
  Excellent.
• 19:20
  Sorry,
• 19:20
  I'm trying to email and do everything.
• 19:23
  I know.
• 19:24
  I saw so much swag.
• 19:27
  You guys had a really nice athlete dinner.
• 19:29
  They gave away backpacks.
• 19:31
  Yeah, Yeti backpack.
• 19:34
  There was a nice little dog chain thing
• 19:37
  that they attached to it with our name
• 19:38
  on it.
• 19:38
  A basketball jersey type thing.
• 19:45
  A t-shirt with our name on it.
• 19:47
  Another t-shirt.
• 19:49
  A Yeti bottle.
• 19:54
  A coin.
• 19:55
  Similar to the games,
• 19:56
  you know how we receive little coins?
• 19:58
  They made a little coin as well.
• 20:04
  Did you fly home today?
• 20:06
  Yeah.
• 20:07
  I rented a car,
• 20:08
  so I drove back to the airport this
• 20:11
  morning.
• 20:12
  I got up at
• 20:15
  three or four forty, I think,
• 20:17
  and had to drive to Nashville.
• 20:18
  And then my flight was at eight fifteen
• 20:20
  this morning.
• 20:20
  I was back in Toronto by like eleven
• 20:23
  thirty.
• 20:23
  OK.
• 20:23
  This is this is kind of a question
• 20:27
  I had across that says,
• 20:29
  did it feel like partner work or two
• 20:31
  people working out near each other?
• 20:36
  What do you mean?
• 20:37
  Like, did it feel like,
• 20:38
  was it more like just a you go,
• 20:40
  I go,
• 20:41
  or did it feel like you had to
• 20:42
  like, I know that first one was like,
• 20:43
  you had to split reps on the bike
• 20:45
  and the bench.
• 20:46
  So that probably felt like a partner
• 20:47
  workout.
• 20:49
  Um,
• 20:50
  did you feel like they mostly were
• 20:51
  designed that way?
• 20:51
  Like you actually had to rely on your
• 20:53
  partner or did you just feel like you
• 20:55
  were working out for time and she was
• 20:56
  working out for time?
• 20:57
  No,
• 20:57
  there was a lot that was like split
• 20:59
  the reps and strategy there.
• 21:00
  Um,
• 21:03
  but basically just the last one was
• 21:05
  individual.
• 21:07
  Okay.
• 21:08
  The rest of it, like, the rope climbs,
• 21:10
  it was six, nine,
• 21:12
  twelve rope climbs with a bunch of synchro
• 21:14
  squats and synchro lunging.
• 21:16
  Like, you have to, like,
• 21:17
  I'm not going to do twenty-seven rope
• 21:19
  climbs.
• 21:20
  It's not, like,
• 21:21
  it's going to be a partner workout.
• 21:22
  We're going back and forth.
• 21:24
  And then the synchro squats, like,
• 21:26
  you have to be on the same timing
• 21:27
  there.
• 21:28
  And then there's other workouts that,
• 21:31
  like, the one workout we had to run,
• 21:33
  I think it was a little shy of
• 21:35
  four hundred meters.
• 21:36
  So there was like four rounds of four
• 21:38
  hundred meters.
• 21:39
  One person sled pushes while the other one
• 21:41
  does axle bar deadlifts and you switch.
• 21:45
  You finish your thing and then you have
• 21:46
  to wait and run together.
• 21:49
  So I think I think it was well
• 21:50
  programmed,
• 21:51
  like there was a mixture of synchro work.
• 21:55
  Splitting and the last one being able to
• 21:58
  shine individually.
• 22:00
  Yeah.
• 22:00
  So you so you were truly as good
• 22:04
  as you were.
• 22:05
  weakest partner right yes that's good yeah
• 22:09
  yeah yeah like i like you couldn't carry
• 22:13
  the team by yourself right not all uh
• 22:20
  if there are deadlifts i'm just taking
• 22:21
  carolyn in well there were deadlifts but
• 22:25
  we both had to do them at the
• 22:26
  exact same um reps team
• 22:31
  So the trophy is mammoth and it looks
• 22:34
  like they do it like the Stanley cup
• 22:36
  where each year the winning teams get like
• 22:40
  their,
• 22:41
  their names engraved onto that trophy as a
• 22:44
  hockey player.
• 22:46
  How cool was that?
• 22:46
  It's going to be part of the original,
• 22:49
  you know,
• 22:50
  group that gets their name on there.
• 22:52
  So last year was the first year they
• 22:53
  had it.
• 22:55
  I really loved the idea of adding a
• 22:57
  plate and then just keep going down.
• 23:01
  So I think it's really cool to have
• 23:03
  that.
• 23:03
  That is cool.
• 23:05
  It was a cool looking trophy too.
• 23:09
  Yeah.
• 23:10
  And the belts,
• 23:10
  like a lot of people are taking pictures,
• 23:12
  holding it before.
• 23:13
  And like, I'm like,
• 23:14
  you don't touch that thing before you stay
• 23:16
  away from trophies like that.
• 23:19
  Yeah.
• 23:20
  You don't touch that until you have to
• 23:22
  like, just earn it.
• 23:25
  So I saw a lot of the athletes
• 23:27
  taking pictures with it and holding it.
• 23:31
  It's like you win your conference
• 23:33
  championship in hockey, and they're like,
• 23:36
  are they going to touch a trophy?
• 23:38
  Are they not?
• 23:39
  Did you bite it to see if it
• 23:40
  was real?
• 23:40
  No.
• 23:40
  It's not.
• 23:45
  We need more CrossFit trophies to drink
• 23:47
  out of.
• 23:50
  It's funny.
• 23:52
  They were talking.
• 23:53
  So College Game Day was in Pittsburgh this
• 23:55
  weekend.
• 23:56
  Pat McAfee is a Pittsburgher,
• 23:58
  and he told the story about when the
• 23:59
  Penguins won the cup.
• 24:01
  They brought it down to a local pub
• 24:04
  and they filled it and they passed it
• 24:05
  around the pub.
• 24:07
  He just happened to be there as a
• 24:08
  spectator and they passed it around for
• 24:10
  everybody to drink out of.
• 24:12
  That's the stuff I love about the Stanley
• 24:14
  Cup.
• 24:14
  A lot of things have been inside that
• 24:20
  Stanley Cup.
• 24:20
  Yeah.
• 24:20
  Good thing they give it a good clean
• 24:22
  every year before they hand it out again.
• 24:25
  Spaghetti, like anything.
• 24:27
  Drinks, like
• 24:31
  It's been in pools.
• 24:32
  It didn't get dropped in the ocean.
• 24:34
  I know the Lombardi trophy.
• 24:37
  I don't know.
• 24:39
  I think,
• 24:40
  I think the Stanley cup has been.
• 24:41
  Yeah.
• 24:41
  Yeah.
• 24:45
  Did you meet?
• 24:50
  Probably.
• 24:50
  You don't know.
• 24:51
  You don't know if you met him.
• 24:52
  I don't know.
• 24:52
  I don't know who cross that is.
• 24:56
  Nobody knows who cross fat is, but he,
• 24:59
  he knew that there were chicken minis
• 25:00
  there.
• 25:03
  So he was,
• 25:03
  I've never had Chick-fil-A before this
• 25:05
  weekend.
• 25:06
  So well,
• 25:10
  I didn't try it like with the sauce
• 25:12
  or anything like that.
• 25:13
  I just had the,
• 25:14
  like the chicken thighs or whatever
• 25:17
  they're they're good,
• 25:19
  but I wasn't going to eat a bunch
• 25:21
  of them.
• 25:21
  Um, during the comp,
• 25:23
  I had like two of them.
• 25:24
  And then by the time I wanted them
• 25:27
  after the comp, they were gone.
• 25:29
  So then there was Mac and cheese that
• 25:30
  was there and I had lots of that
• 25:31
  and I had cookies.
• 25:34
  and Capri Sun,
• 25:38
  just anything that was back there.
• 25:41
  Yeah.
• 25:42
  So, so cool.
• 25:46
  Overall, would you do it again?
• 25:49
  Absolutely.
• 25:54
  And just so everybody knows,
• 25:55
  it was not streamed,
• 25:57
  but Mayhem did do a video,
• 25:59
  and they're going to do a post-production
• 26:02
  highlights of the weekend.
• 26:04
  So that's still to come.
• 26:05
  We're going to get to see Carolyn do
• 26:06
  her thing.
• 26:07
  We're going to get to see Jack do
• 26:08
  his thing and all the other people that
• 26:10
  went and participated.
• 26:12
  It looks so much fun.
• 26:13
  I cannot believe this thing not growing
• 26:17
  after what people saw.
• 26:20
  I hope it grows.
• 26:20
  I mean,
• 26:21
  I hope it doesn't grow too much where
• 26:22
  like, you know,
• 26:23
  this educator just keep cleaning up.
• 26:25
  I want to come back every year.
• 26:29
  So I want to grow,
• 26:30
  but like settle down people.
• 26:34
  It's about everyday heroes, but it was,
• 26:37
  it was fun.
• 26:37
  It was fun.
• 26:38
  And it's the people that made it really
• 26:40
  fun.
• 26:41
  Um,
• 26:41
  met some really cool people this weekend.
• 26:45
  Yeah.
• 26:45
  I still think the, um,
• 26:50
  the way they got the community involved.
• 26:52
  And it's this big event celebrating
• 26:56
  everyday heroes.
• 26:56
  I think it's just something that should be
• 27:01
  celebrated and grown.
• 27:03
  And I hope it continues to do all
• 27:05
  of that.
• 27:09
  Rich said,
• 27:10
  maybe a chance we'll see ten teams each
• 27:12
  next year.
• 27:12
  Wow.
• 27:13
  Two per division.
• 27:17
  Two twosomes per division?
• 27:19
  Yeah,
• 27:19
  like two teams in the education division,
• 27:21
  two teams in the class division.
• 27:23
  It'd be cool.
• 27:25
  Yeah, it was awesome.
• 27:25
  Yeah, that would be cool.
• 27:29
  Yeah.
• 27:30
  Super cool.
• 27:37
  Their gym is so nice.
• 27:40
  They have access to everything.
• 27:46
  Lucky group that's there.
• 27:47
  andrew sten was there judging um yes both
• 27:50
  rich and angelo talked about making it
• 27:52
  bigger did you get to talk to rich
• 27:58
  or angelo about the programming about what
• 28:00
  went down any of that or um not
• 28:01
  much i talked more to rich just said
• 28:05
  thank you for hosting us um and doing
• 28:06
  and putting this on um for us because
• 28:07
  i mean he doesn't have to but this
• 28:11
  is something that he
• 28:14
  like, you know, supports and, um,
• 28:17
  it's very important for him to, to,
• 28:19
  to do this for us.
• 28:20
  So just said, thank you.
• 28:22
  Said that the programming was great.
• 28:23
  Um, cause it's like,
• 28:25
  you want to make sure every team can
• 28:27
  do it.
• 28:27
  Like you don't want it to be it's
• 28:30
  it was functional workouts.
• 28:33
  Um, like,
• 28:34
  could there have been maybe a hanging
• 28:35
  movement, like a toast of our Obama stuff?
• 28:37
  Yeah, probably.
• 28:38
  But it was okay.
• 28:39
  Like the way it was,
• 28:40
  like workouts were hard.
• 28:42
  Um, races were good.
• 28:46
  And they crushed us.
• 28:47
  They made us work for it.
• 28:48
  That's fine.
• 28:50
  Cross fat.
• 28:50
  It's impressive to get these people with
• 28:52
  real schedules,
• 28:53
  all to take PTO at the same time.
• 28:56
  Well, not, not everyone that was like one,
• 28:59
  two, one,
• 29:00
  two on every division was able to come
• 29:02
  right.
• 29:02
  Because of probably obligations with their
• 29:05
  own careers.
• 29:06
  Um, so you had, you know,
• 29:09
  maybe someone that finished a little bit
• 29:10
  further down on the leaderboard had to
• 29:13
  fill in this weekend.
• 29:16
  Yeah, that stinks.
• 29:19
  So we're going to move into the next
• 29:20
  segment and we're going to do things a
• 29:22
  little bit differently this week.
• 29:24
  We're spreading our game out over the
• 29:26
  entire show.
• 29:28
  And because there's not enough topics to
• 29:30
  have both pencil,
• 29:31
  pen and Sharpie or factor fiction and
• 29:35
  other topics.
• 29:36
  So what I'm going to do is a
• 29:37
  pencil, pen or Sharpie.
• 29:39
  And then we're going to talk about that
• 29:41
  topic in more depth.
• 29:43
  Okay.
• 29:44
  So the first pencil pen or Sharpie is
• 29:49
  mayhem is perfecting the boutique style
• 29:52
  competition.
• 29:53
  Or wait Sharpie.
• 30:01
  So I'm going to say pen.
• 30:03
  I mean, I guess I could argue Sharpie,
• 30:05
  but
• 30:06
  because perfecting is the word in there
• 30:08
  but i would say like jr with crash
• 30:11
  stuff started this um and i think he's
• 30:15
  kind of doing a great job of kind
• 30:17
  of perfecting it as well i at this
• 30:18
  point i feel like they're playing off of
• 30:19
  each other so yeah i'm just gonna say
• 30:21
  pen i think like any legend you have
• 30:24
  you don't really know where the source is
• 30:26
  the first mayhem classic was in yeah um
• 30:32
  where they did like the first boutique
• 30:34
  competition
• 30:36
  i'm wondering if that was an inspiration
• 30:37
  for jr to take back to his gym
• 30:41
  and then they've gone kind of back and
• 30:43
  forth in the perfecting of it so it's
• 30:45
  probably a little bit of both and so
• 30:47
  i'll just give it a pen probably because
• 30:51
  it's had a little back and forth between
• 30:53
  the two um but my argument is mayhem
• 30:58
  probably started at first as a sanctional
• 31:01
  in twenty nineteen
• 31:03
  And then and then J.R.
• 31:05
  has taken it and kind of run with
• 31:07
  it from there.
• 31:16
  Pen perfecting it would mean it's
• 31:18
  profitable.
• 31:21
  I don't know.
• 31:22
  I think there's an argument to be made
• 31:23
  there that that's not necessarily the
• 31:26
  route they're trying to take it.
• 31:30
  And we don't know.
• 31:31
  Have you seen the books?
• 31:33
  It could be profitable.
• 31:36
  I don't know.
• 31:39
  And again, I agree with you too, Jamie.
• 31:41
  This weekend with the Everyday Heroes,
• 31:44
  that may not be their main goal is
• 31:47
  to be profitable.
• 31:48
  Maybe it's just, hey,
• 31:49
  we want to celebrate these people.
• 31:51
  This is something that we're willing to
• 31:53
  take a loss on to do that.
• 31:57
  Like, I think regardless,
• 31:58
  they have the tools to make it,
• 32:01
  you know,
• 32:04
  the perfect boutique competition.
• 32:07
  Like,
• 32:08
  they have everything there in terms of
• 32:10
  space, equipment, all of that to have,
• 32:16
  like, a successful comp.
• 32:17
  And they've proven that they can do it.
• 32:19
  And then even with their live stream this
• 32:20
  year with the Mayhem Classic, like,
• 32:21
  that was great.
• 32:24
  uh, whoops, uh,
• 32:25
  CrossFit Wilson was strong at it before he
• 32:27
  ramped up to, yeah,
• 32:29
  the old Mac fest before it became the
• 32:32
  Mac, um,
• 32:34
  was a very big community boutique event as
• 32:37
  well.
• 32:38
  But even the Mac fest has become much
• 32:41
  bigger than like in a, in a gym,
• 32:44
  like they have to get an outside arena
• 32:45
  now just for that.
• 32:48
  So Andrew Stentz is breaking.
• 32:52
  Even would be a win.
• 32:53
  I agree.
• 32:57
  I mean,
• 32:57
  JR is able to buy a new piece
• 33:00
  of equipment.
• 33:01
  I don't know how JR runs it.
• 33:03
  I don't know if he gets a big
• 33:04
  sponsor for the prize purse or what,
• 33:06
  but he clearly is able to take the
• 33:10
  registration money or qualify registration
• 33:12
  money and buy a new piece of equipment
• 33:13
  each year.
• 33:15
  Pretty much something new to introduce
• 33:17
  into that comp.
• 33:20
  True.
• 33:21
  And again, they,
• 33:22
  they could be making a profit or for
• 33:25
  Jr.
• 33:25
  Maybe it's getting money just to put back
• 33:26
  into his own gym to make it successful.
• 33:30
  We don't know what their goals are or
• 33:31
  what they're trying to achieve.
• 33:32
  And none of us can see the books.
• 33:35
  Um,
• 33:37
  And, and I'm,
• 33:38
  I'm betting that this year's mayhem
• 33:40
  classic will have a cheaper stream now
• 33:44
  that they've seen that it can be done.
• 33:46
  And they've probably looked at what it
• 33:48
  takes to get it done.
• 33:49
  And their media team's big enough to maybe
• 33:51
  pull something off.
• 33:54
  Um, I was talking to, uh,
• 33:58
  Bella this weekend, which was like,
• 33:59
  everyone always says that the media team
• 34:01
  is, is big for like mayhem,
• 34:02
  but they're like,
• 34:05
  but that's big for a gym.
• 34:07
  Yeah.
• 34:10
  Now, granted, it's a huge gym.
• 34:12
  They get like a hundred.
• 34:14
  She was saying that they get like almost
• 34:15
  a hundred drop-ins a week.
• 34:18
  Wow.
• 34:18
  That's crazy.
• 34:21
  That is insane.
• 34:23
  When my family used to go to the
• 34:24
  Outer Banks every summer and their people
• 34:27
  were telling me that like they get two
• 34:28
  hundred drop ins a week at CrossFit Outer
• 34:30
  Banks and they're just during the summer.
• 34:33
  And then during the winter,
• 34:34
  they can't even fill their building
• 34:36
  because it's only the members.
• 34:39
  And but they're they make enough money in
• 34:41
  the summer to sustain themselves
• 34:44
  throughout the year.
• 34:47
  It's crazy.
• 34:49
  And mayhem has become a destination.
• 34:51
  Mm hmm.
• 35:00
  Vegas gyms were crazy.
• 35:02
  I can only imagine.
• 35:09
  Next,
• 35:10
  we're going to do one more pen to
• 35:12
  start off this other thing.
• 35:14
  CrossFit will be sold.
• 35:16
  Pencil, pen, or sharpie.
• 35:18
  CrossFit will be sold before the twenty
• 35:19
  twenty six CrossFit open.
• 35:21
  Pencil.
• 35:21
  Pencil.
• 35:23
  Pencil.
• 35:25
  I don't buy into any rumors either.
• 35:31
  Even if all the rumors we heard were
• 35:33
  real,
• 35:34
  that they have this ninety days and it
• 35:35
  could be like January.
• 35:37
  I feel like there's going to be something
• 35:39
  in the ninety day due diligence period
• 35:41
  that makes it not so.
• 35:42
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 35:49
  I don't I have no idea what to
• 35:51
  even think anymore.
• 35:52
  So I guess I have to go pencil.
• 35:55
  We'll get into kind of the rumors next,
• 35:57
  but what's crazy to me is like a
• 36:01
  week ago today,
• 36:03
  I truly was hearing that the sales weren't
• 36:06
  going through because there was this
• 36:09
  blocking item that
• 36:11
  in in the negotiations of the sale that
• 36:14
  there is like this liability issue that
• 36:18
  they can't determine whose responsibility
• 36:20
  it is after the sale right whether it
• 36:22
  stays with brookshire or whether it goes
• 36:24
  to the new owner and they could never
• 36:26
  ever figure that out and that's why
• 36:29
  everybody has dropped out of the sale
• 36:32
  And truly like.
• 36:34
  Twenty four hours later.
• 36:36
  Boom.
• 36:36
  There's someone that's been in talks for
• 36:37
  weeks there.
• 36:39
  They've got an exclusive period.
• 36:42
  Ninety day period to negotiate.
• 36:45
  And there are these guys out of nowhere.
• 36:48
  Blah, blah, blah.
• 36:50
  And and it just took blew me away
• 36:53
  so fast.
• 36:54
  I don't even know if I can even
• 36:55
  believe it.
• 36:56
  But there are these little shreds that if
• 36:59
  they are true.
• 37:01
  mean a lot.
• 37:07
  Let's talk about the rumors real quick.
• 37:09
  Most of this was broke by the barbell
• 37:11
  spin.
• 37:12
  I'm giving him credit for all of this.
• 37:15
  I'm going to pull up his article real
• 37:16
  quick.
• 37:17
  How does he find this stuff?
• 37:20
  Is he just searching CrossFit all day
• 37:22
  long?
• 37:23
  I don't know how he found that Reddit
• 37:24
  post.
• 37:25
  How does he find a Reddit post from...
• 37:28
  One new user of some sort.
• 37:30
  Exactly.
• 37:33
  You can search Reddit by subject matter.
• 37:36
  And I'm sure there's a way to put
• 37:37
  an algorithm that just notifies you if
• 37:40
  something new has been posted about that.
• 37:42
  But how much do you have to sift
• 37:44
  through to find this?
• 37:46
  And he has a regular job, right?
• 37:48
  Yes.
• 37:49
  Right.
• 37:51
  So we said pencil.
• 37:53
  Everybody...
• 37:56
  pencil fool me twice i won't be fooled
• 37:58
  again right a pencil uh wrote in the
• 38:03
  sand disappearing ink invisible ink etch a
• 38:08
  sketch we're all on the same page yeah
• 38:13
  so anyway it comes out there was a
• 38:15
  reddit post that has since been deleted
• 38:20
  and doesn't exist now, that Wade Diebner,
• 38:24
  who is a hedge fund manager in Silicon
• 38:28
  Valley, and Mark Mastroff,
• 38:31
  who own Twenty-Four Hour Fitness and
• 38:34
  Crunch Fitness,
• 38:35
  are the two leading the charge to buy
• 38:38
  CrossFit.
• 38:42
  There was a statement in this Reddit
• 38:43
  article that looked very much like it was
• 38:46
  AI written,
• 38:51
  um that there was going to be celebrity
• 38:53
  influencers involved um athletes hollywood
• 38:58
  people who have used crossfit for for mega
• 39:00
  transformations blah blah blah so all that
• 39:05
  happened and then there was a a twitter
• 39:07
  x account created um under the name i
• 39:12
  have it in my notes under the name
• 39:14
  world fit world fit news
• 39:19
  The Twitter account, X account,
• 39:21
  has now been deleted.
• 39:22
  The Reddit has been deleted.
• 39:26
  But here's what is still out there.
• 39:29
  There was an interview done with Mark
• 39:31
  Davis, Matt Davis, of Hybrid Media.
• 39:36
  Matt Davis of Hybrid Media.
• 39:38
  He's been around forever.
• 39:39
  If you were a follower of Arm &
• 39:40
  Hammer,
• 39:41
  they used to collaborate on stuff back in
• 39:43
  the day.
• 39:45
  when he was doing obstacle course racing,
• 39:48
  Matt Davis was,
• 39:49
  and Armin was doing CrossFit.
• 39:51
  And it was big when Hunter was like
• 39:53
  picked as the wild card and all that
• 39:55
  stuff.
• 39:55
  They started doing collaborative stuff.
• 39:58
  Apparently he had an interview with the
• 40:00
  hedge fund manager and was told a lot
• 40:03
  of these things.
• 40:06
  Spin has a good relationship with Matt
• 40:08
  Davis.
• 40:09
  And so I don't believe that Matt would
• 40:11
  be lying to Spin about what he was
• 40:13
  told.
• 40:19
  then the wheels completely came off when I
• 40:25
  can never get his name, right?
• 40:28
  The event director for WFP,
• 40:30
  Roger Nielsen went on a Swedish podcast
• 40:34
  and taught,
• 40:34
  and then spin used AI to translate into
• 40:39
  English that he talked about that.
• 40:42
  They need,
• 40:42
  they wanted to meet with all of the
• 40:44
  players and,
• 40:46
  from every possibility so that they have
• 40:49
  actually met with Dave Castro and the
• 40:51
  current regime at CrossFit that they have
• 40:53
  met with these prospective new owners.
• 40:56
  And he said that if they do get
• 40:58
  the bid,
• 40:59
  the season is completely changing and
• 41:06
  other things.
• 41:09
  So he said this on the Swedish podcast
• 41:11
  that,
• 41:12
  And it was all translated and you can
• 41:14
  go to the barbell spins Instagram account
• 41:17
  and hear the AI translation of him saying
• 41:19
  these things on there.
• 41:24
  The big thing that,
• 41:25
  that he was saying was that the WFP
• 41:27
  wants to hold a tour stop in Mallorca
• 41:31
  around where quarterfinals are,
• 41:33
  and that they're trying to get with
• 41:34
  CrossFit to figure out how to do,
• 41:38
  how to do both.
• 41:41
  which is a big step if WFP is
• 41:43
  actually doing that to try to collaborate.
• 41:46
  Um, well,
• 41:49
  I think they have no choice right now.
• 41:50
  WFP because like they have to figure out
• 41:54
  how to keep their athletes for next year
• 41:56
  and with all these withdrawals and stuff,
• 41:58
  like they have to collaborate and see
• 42:02
  what's actually going to be best for the
• 42:03
  athletes.
• 42:04
  Right.
• 42:04
  Yeah.
• 42:07
  Yeah.
• 42:09
  That's our next topic.
• 42:10
  We'll get into that in a second.
• 42:11
  But as for the sale, those that's this.
• 42:15
  So one thing that we have known is
• 42:18
  that Roger has been kind of speaking the
• 42:20
  truth.
• 42:21
  The one person from the WFP,
• 42:23
  him and Jason Ainsley on separate
• 42:26
  podcasts,
• 42:26
  the two event directors have have been
• 42:31
  releasing the most information.
• 42:36
  we have this matt davis guy that i
• 42:38
  don't think would lie to spin and from
• 42:41
  everything i know of watching him back in
• 42:44
  the day when he was on arm and
• 42:45
  hammer is that he's a very trustworthy and
• 42:48
  reliable source so that's the only thing
• 42:52
  that makes me not disbelieve all of this
• 42:56
  but it it's still like this thin because
• 43:00
  i've i am hearing people inside hq are
• 43:03
  saying that this is absolutely false
• 43:06
  that none of this is true.
• 43:11
  But what does that mean?
• 43:15
  That means nothing.
• 43:18
  So here we sit.
• 43:20
  We were convinced a week ago that they
• 43:24
  weren't going to sell.
• 43:25
  Right.
• 43:26
  And that they were moving in a good
• 43:28
  direction.
• 43:29
  And if they kept moving in that direction,
• 43:31
  maybe the value of the company would
• 43:32
  actually move to a position where they
• 43:34
  could sell.
• 43:36
  And now this whole wrench has been thrown
• 43:41
  as a big Thanksgiving, Christmas,
• 43:44
  holiday gift to us all.
• 43:45
  I just think they're a little bit out
• 43:48
  of their mind with what they think it's
• 43:50
  worth.
• 43:51
  And you hearing rumors about the liability
• 43:58
  issue, that makes complete sense to me.
• 44:01
  I think that would probably be the biggest
• 44:03
  hold up to a sale,
• 44:05
  whether it be the Jukic settlement,
• 44:09
  other things.
• 44:11
  That's a huge liability to possibly take
• 44:16
  on if it's not settled.
• 44:20
  I agree.
• 44:21
  I think...
• 44:23
  And I don't know what the liability is.
• 44:24
  I don't know what they're debating over.
• 44:26
  I've just heard that it is a liability
• 44:28
  issue.
• 44:29
  The only thing that is popping into my
• 44:32
  head is, of course, the Lazar situation.
• 44:36
  And are there still pending lawsuits based
• 44:38
  on what happened there?
• 44:39
  And is that what's holding everything up?
• 44:43
  But that is...
• 44:45
  complete speculation on my part.
• 44:47
  I have nothing backing that up.
• 44:49
  That's just me looking at the situation
• 44:51
  thinking that is probably the biggest
• 44:52
  piece of liability that would be facing
• 44:55
  this company.
• 44:56
  Fully agree.
• 45:00
  But I don't know.
• 45:02
  I don't know.
• 45:04
  Fergie Show,
• 45:05
  since Mastroff is currently CEO of Crunch
• 45:06
  Fitness,
• 45:07
  does that mean that the
• 45:11
  I think we are way the cart is
• 45:13
  way before the horse on that question.
• 45:15
  My worry with a buyer like this would
• 45:17
  be that everything's going to turn into a
• 45:19
  franchise model.
• 45:21
  I think the minute you turn into a
• 45:22
  franchise model,
• 45:22
  you've lost three quarters of your
• 45:25
  affiliates agree.
• 45:29
  But even if like they come on and
• 45:32
  change the whole season,
• 45:33
  like that's going to upset a lot of
• 45:34
  people that are already organizing and
• 45:36
  stuff like that's not
• 45:38
  like, typically,
• 45:39
  when you you enter a company,
• 45:40
  especially in that first year,
• 45:41
  you try to not, yeah, you know,
• 45:44
  make any major changes, shake,
• 45:47
  shake everything up that much.
• 45:49
  And kind of more like observe and study
• 45:52
  what's going on and hear everyone's
• 45:56
  suggestions.
• 45:56
  And I don't,
• 45:58
  I feel like that's what you normally do.
• 46:00
  I have no experience as a CEO, but
• 46:03
  I agree with you, Carolyn.
• 46:04
  In most cases, you don't,
• 46:06
  you don't change the whole season up and
• 46:08
  all of that.
• 46:09
  If you're joining or taking over CrossFit,
• 46:12
  like that's,
• 46:12
  that's only going to further divide the
• 46:15
  community and lose a lot of people.
• 46:17
  At the very least,
• 46:18
  usually a new owner comes in and they,
• 46:20
  they take ninety days to just observe.
• 46:23
  Yeah.
• 46:23
  Right.
• 46:24
  Learn like, right.
• 46:25
  See what's going on.
• 46:26
  See where they can maybe bring value in
• 46:28
  different areas.
• 46:30
  CrossFit says,
• 46:31
  Roger's either dumb and loose-lipped or
• 46:33
  just makes shiz up.
• 46:36
  And maybe he did.
• 46:37
  I don't know, but... Is Roger, sorry,
• 46:40
  is Roger the WFP?
• 46:40
  Yeah.
• 46:41
  Yeah, he's the European event coordinator.
• 46:47
  But he would be involved with, like,
• 46:48
  scheduling Mallorca,
• 46:50
  because that would be his gig.
• 46:56
  I don't...
• 46:58
  and anything that we would guess that the
• 46:59
  new owners would do it is complete
• 47:02
  speculation,
• 47:03
  but you can't have observed anything about
• 47:06
  this entity and think that a franchise
• 47:09
  model is going to work or that doing
• 47:13
  something to change the masses is going to
• 47:15
  work.
• 47:19
  Now I could,
• 47:20
  I could see this like CrossFit creatine,
• 47:22
  put it in your affiliate.
• 47:24
  Yeah.
• 47:24
  We're selling, we're selling this, right?
• 47:27
  I could see something like that.
• 47:31
  But that still is probably going to piss
• 47:33
  off affiliate owners.
• 47:35
  Because truly,
• 47:36
  if you're Craig Howard and you've got
• 47:39
  CrossFit Diablo,
• 47:41
  do you need CrossFit HQ to keep going
• 47:45
  on as a gym and be successful?
• 47:48
  Not really.
• 47:49
  I mean,
• 47:49
  the name means something and I'm sure that
• 47:52
  people want to work out at an affiliate,
• 47:54
  but if someone comes in and ruins the,
• 47:57
  the name,
• 47:58
  what does that then matter anymore?
• 48:00
  And Craig is still going to run his
• 48:01
  gym.
• 48:04
  And I use that name.
• 48:04
  Right.
• 48:07
  Right.
• 48:10
  I just use that name because he's this
• 48:11
  very, he's one of the first,
• 48:13
  he he's been doing it for years.
• 48:16
  what crossfit provides him in like how to
• 48:19
  run a business is probably nil or next
• 48:21
  to none and it's just it's like what
• 48:25
  zia said on the crossfit podcast and if
• 48:27
  you have not seen that podcast it's
• 48:29
  advertised as dawn fall but the money part
• 48:32
  of that podcast is zia and her thing
• 48:35
  is that what she wants from hq is
• 48:38
  the name crossfit to mean something
• 48:42
  She doesn't need business advice.
• 48:44
  She doesn't need to know how to run
• 48:45
  her affiliate.
• 48:46
  She just needs that name to mean
• 48:48
  something.
• 48:49
  So people will want to come to her.
• 48:54
  For sure.
• 48:54
  No, it's, it's the name of CrossFit.
• 48:57
  It's making sure everyone knows what it
• 48:59
  is, that it's safe,
• 49:02
  that it's for everyone.
• 49:03
  Not for like, let's say anyone,
• 49:07
  but not for anyone.
• 49:09
  Yeah.
• 49:10
  It's for everyone, but not for everyone.
• 49:12
  If you can make the name CrossFit stronger
• 49:16
  and debunk a lot of things that's on
• 49:18
  the internet and all of that.
• 49:19
  And honestly,
• 49:22
  even partner with people like with high
• 49:25
  rocks,
• 49:26
  like that's like blowing up and it's like,
• 49:28
  we're not against high rocks,
• 49:29
  but if you want to get better at
• 49:30
  high rocks,
• 49:32
  you do CrossFit and you just add more
• 49:33
  running, you know,
• 49:35
  and lean into this growth of the high
• 49:37
  rocks and
• 49:43
  use that to, you know,
• 49:52
  have more connection with CrossFit.
• 49:53
  But yeah,
• 49:53
  the name CrossFit has to mean something
• 49:54
  strong.
• 49:54
  If it goes franchise,
• 49:55
  then Proven Sentinel, HWPO, et cetera,
• 49:56
  will be selling more training programs
• 49:58
  into OG affiliates,
• 49:59
  which I think would de-affiliate from a
• 50:03
  franchise model.
• 50:04
  They want to be entrepreneurs.
• 50:05
  Right.
• 50:10
  I know what you're saying, Ken,
• 50:12
  and I do think people will de-affiliate
• 50:14
  and I do think they want to be
• 50:15
  entrepreneurs.
• 50:15
  I think that part is true.
• 50:17
  Whether proven Sentinel and HWPO
• 50:20
  programming goes up, I don't know.
• 50:24
  Because a lot of these OG places program
• 50:27
  their own stuff.
• 50:27
  Yeah.
• 50:29
  And a lot of the OG CrossFitters love
• 50:31
  the programming aspect of owning their own
• 50:34
  affiliate.
• 50:36
  So I don't think one necessarily means the
• 50:39
  other.
• 50:40
  But I do understand your point for sure.
• 50:50
  It used to be exciting seeing Nanos or
• 50:52
  a shirt in the airport.
• 50:53
  Now it's like, eh, whatever.
• 50:56
  I still get excited.
• 50:57
  I'm sorry.
• 50:58
  I'm too naive.
• 50:59
  I look for people's shoes at the airport
• 51:01
  and I'm judging them by what kind of
• 51:04
  shoes they are.
• 51:04
  And I'm like, maybe they're CrossFitters.
• 51:07
  Especially when I'm on a trip to a
• 51:08
  CrossFit event,
• 51:09
  I like to look around and see who
• 51:10
  else is going to where I'm going.
• 51:15
  Make your members evangelize again.
• 51:18
  If you listen to Zia,
• 51:20
  I think the new marketing campaign,
• 51:22
  she claims is doing that for her affiliate
• 51:25
  right now.
• 51:29
  But I think it's because she's a good
• 51:30
  affiliate owner and she shares all this
• 51:33
  stuff with them.
• 51:33
  I think it's beyond just the marketing
• 51:37
  campaign.
• 51:42
  Jeremy, that's salt in the wound, buddy.
• 51:44
  We are having technical difficulties
• 51:45
  tonight and we are just getting by the
• 51:48
  best we can.
• 51:49
  Is it that bad?
• 51:51
  No, it's fine.
• 51:51
  We're happy you're here.
• 51:52
  Don't listen to Jeremy.
• 51:56
  I can go back and not hearing Scott.
• 51:58
  Oh, it's totally fine.
• 52:03
  USAW pushed against CrossFit for a while
• 52:05
  and CrossFit got bigger.
• 52:06
  CrossFit can't make that mistake with High
• 52:08
  Rocks.
• 52:12
  I think, and again,
• 52:15
  probably me just being naive.
• 52:17
  I think that the partnerships that
• 52:20
  CrossFit is making now,
• 52:22
  like they are with Wadapalooza,
• 52:24
  like they are with other competitions like
• 52:29
  ruck racing, things like that.
• 52:31
  I don't think it's out of the realm
• 52:32
  of possibility for High Rocks and CrossFit
• 52:35
  to do something together.
• 52:38
  I really don't.
• 52:45
  It is a lot about the franchise model.
• 52:47
  It is about replacing all gyms that
• 52:49
  de-affiliated and stopping the bleeding.
• 52:52
  Eight gyms in my town alone in the
• 52:54
  last two years.
• 52:56
  That's crazy.
• 52:57
  Well, forty five hundred a year is insane.
• 53:02
  It's cross prohibitive for a lot of gyms.
• 53:07
  I think that that CrossFit in Columbus is
• 53:09
  just so strong.
• 53:11
  Like we're not we didn't see that
• 53:13
  de-affiliation.
• 53:19
  don't know we like i feel like we
• 53:20
  saw it a lot in the toronto area
• 53:21
  there's a there's quite a few gyms that
• 53:23
  close down during the up of the
• 53:27
  affiliation fee i mean rents are up like
• 53:32
  you you can't have everything go up on
• 53:34
  them and for what like that's a lot
• 53:39
  of people's biggest gripe is like what
• 53:43
  really i didn't get anything more why are
• 53:45
  we doubling
• 53:51
  Yeah, Jeremy,
• 53:51
  she was the astronaut representing at
• 53:53
  Everyday Heroes.
• 53:58
  Larry Young.
• 53:59
  Yeah,
• 54:00
  I look for real CrossFitters and have
• 54:02
  often thought for a non-CrossFitter,
• 54:04
  I'm deeper in the space than a lot
• 54:05
  of them.
• 54:06
  It's a weird feeling.
• 54:10
  High rent areas got smashed between that
• 54:12
  and rent.
• 54:13
  Right.
• 54:17
  Yeah.
• 54:19
  I don't know.
• 54:20
  I live in a high rent area,
• 54:21
  probably here in Columbus and every gym
• 54:24
  around me is still affiliated.
• 54:29
  That's great.
• 54:31
  But like CrossFit players has hundreds of
• 54:34
  members.
• 54:35
  Yeah.
• 54:35
  So like, yeah, it's a high rent district,
• 54:38
  but they have a ton of people coming.
• 54:54
  Yeah, that's probably kind of true.
• 54:59
  I lost your, oh, there you go.
• 55:01
  Yeah, I see you.
• 55:02
  Muted.
• 55:15
  You're muted.
• 55:17
  Muted.
• 55:20
  Yeah, I can see the mute.
• 55:22
  Yeah, I can see the mute.
• 55:28
  says your mic's not connected i tried to
• 55:30
  unmute you myself and it says your mic
• 55:34
  is not connected all the technical
• 55:42
  difficulties yeah what in the world
• 56:02
  like our gym in toronto like we kept
• 56:05
  our prices pretty low like we we had
• 56:08
  decreased them during coven and then with
• 56:10
  all of the other gyms that closed down
• 56:13
  we gained a lot of people and we
• 56:15
  just never brought it back up in terms
• 56:17
  of pricing so even though the affiliation
• 56:20
  fee went up because so many other gyms
• 56:23
  around this sadly like closed like it kind
• 56:25
  of
• 56:26
  brought us yeah more members um and we
• 56:31
  were able to to hold on and i
• 56:34
  mean we we have a large gym um
• 56:38
  so like we kind of are in a
• 56:39
  good location in toronto but there were a
• 56:41
  lot of gyms that had to close down
• 56:44
  and they were just it's just such an
• 56:46
  expensive place in the toronto area so
• 56:48
  like they couldn't do that increase yeah
• 56:52
  so my roadcaster just quit
• 56:56
  That's what happened.
• 56:57
  That's the new game tonight, charades.
• 57:03
  Train Olive,
• 57:03
  who is killing me in fantasy football
• 57:05
  today.
• 57:07
  My gym just celebrated fourteen years.
• 57:09
  Many gyms around have changed ownership
• 57:10
  multiple times or de-affiliated.
• 57:12
  Forgot to even look at my fantasy this
• 57:19
  week.
• 57:19
  It was a dangerous waiting game at that
• 57:21
  sad phase.
• 57:22
  We absorbed two or three gyms partially.
• 57:26
  yeah i mean i feel like that's kind
• 57:29
  of what happened is you're not sorry the
• 57:33
  couple that were nearing you know probably
• 57:38
  not doing great anyway probably should
• 57:40
  have closed closed and it that that
• 57:42
  closure helped the other good gyms because
• 57:45
  they were able to offset that price
• 57:47
  increase
• 57:49
  I mean, that was the original model,
• 57:51
  right?
• 57:51
  Yes.
• 57:52
  Greg didn't care.
• 57:53
  If you opened up a gym across the
• 57:54
  street,
• 57:54
  the strong will survive and the weak will
• 57:56
  die off.
• 57:57
  Um,
• 57:59
  but I don't think it was that that
• 58:00
  was the intention of this price increase
• 58:03
  during an economy with inflation and all
• 58:07
  of that stuff.
• 58:07
  Yeah.
• 58:11
  Uh,
• 58:12
  Fergie show crunch premium membership is
• 58:14
  one here that is lower than most CrossFit
• 58:16
  affiliates.
• 58:19
  Yeah, that's cheap.
• 58:29
  Greg used to cancel your agreement if you
• 58:31
  complained about too many gyms nearby.
• 58:38
  My old gym, my original CrossFit gym,
• 58:41
  We were surrounded by so many gyms and
• 58:45
  we just got to be better than them.
• 58:47
  And the other gyms went away.
• 58:48
  Yeah.
• 58:49
  Right.
• 58:49
  And then we absorbed all the people from
• 58:51
  those gyms.
• 58:52
  And that's why they they had to move
• 58:54
  four times into bigger facilities as that
• 58:58
  growth happened.
• 59:01
  It was insane.
• 59:02
  That's a nice problem to have.
• 59:07
  Yeah.
• 59:08
  All right.
• 59:09
  So we'll keep our ear to the grindstone.
• 59:12
  Go to the barbell spin.
• 59:13
  He is in touch with all of this
• 59:15
  stuff.
• 59:18
  Last week,
• 59:19
  every time I went on with the lunch
• 59:21
  show, spin broke news.
• 59:24
  I couldn't even get five minutes into a
• 59:26
  show and spin is breaking news.
• 59:29
  So...
• 59:30
  Make sure you go check him out.
• 59:32
  I am signed up for his alerts,
• 59:34
  thank God.
• 59:35
  And we'll see what happens with all this.
• 59:39
  The other thing is,
• 59:40
  I think everybody's now turned quiet
• 59:41
  because they,
• 59:42
  and I think someone commented this,
• 59:45
  they remembered what an NDA is during the
• 59:47
  nine-day negotiation period.
• 59:56
  Oh.
• 59:56
  Yeah.
• 59:56
  NDAs and CrossFit are not a good combo
• 59:58
  sometimes.
• 59:59
  Yeah.
• 1:00:01
  That was my thought.
• 1:00:02
  Exactly.
• 1:00:03
  Like everybody complains about the other
• 1:00:05
  person leaking and they're all,
• 1:00:06
  they all leak as bad as the other,
• 1:00:09
  every single entity in this fitness space
• 1:00:11
  leaks, everything.
• 1:00:12
  Okay.
• 1:00:18
  All right,
• 1:00:18
  so we're going to switch the game to
• 1:00:19
  factor fiction because I couldn't get this
• 1:00:22
  to fit into a pencil pen or Sharpie.
• 1:00:26
  So the factor fiction is with the pending
• 1:00:29
  CrossFit sale and the WFP withdrawals,
• 1:00:34
  athletes are making a big mistake giving
• 1:00:36
  up a pro card opportunity with CrossFit a
• 1:00:40
  big unknown.
• 1:00:47
  I mean, that's a very personal question.
• 1:00:50
  And I would say for these few people
• 1:00:53
  like Hopper, but bowing out,
• 1:00:54
  I would say that's a fiction.
• 1:00:55
  Like he,
• 1:00:57
  those top end athletes probably were not
• 1:01:02
  the ones to give the pro like you
• 1:01:04
  needed the, that was the problem.
• 1:01:06
  Like that,
• 1:01:07
  them just picking people and giving them
• 1:01:08
  money is nobody fought for it.
• 1:01:11
  And that's how, like,
• 1:01:12
  that's what drives this stuff.
• 1:01:13
  If people are fighting for this, like,
• 1:01:16
  that means more.
• 1:01:17
  And these people just feel like they're
• 1:01:19
  entitled or whatever.
• 1:01:20
  They're just taking the money and getting
• 1:01:22
  what they can out of it while it's
• 1:01:24
  there.
• 1:01:24
  But like, so for them, I'd say fiction,
• 1:01:27
  like they're going to be fine.
• 1:01:27
  They're going to do the game season.
• 1:01:30
  There are some athletes that I feel like
• 1:01:31
  might be making a mistake by not
• 1:01:33
  continuing with and trying to make sure
• 1:01:35
  like, I mean, I don't know,
• 1:01:36
  maybe WFP is not going to go anywhere
• 1:01:38
  either,
• 1:01:38
  but both could be up in the air.
• 1:01:40
  So try both seasons while you can.
• 1:01:44
  I mean,
• 1:01:45
  anytime you can have guaranteed money,
• 1:01:46
  like we should try.
• 1:01:54
  So here's my,
• 1:01:56
  I've been hard on the WFP lately.
• 1:01:58
  I think that their business model has been
• 1:02:00
  really bad lately.
• 1:02:01
  And I am someone who wanted this to
• 1:02:02
  succeed.
• 1:02:04
  And I've been really disappointed that I
• 1:02:05
  didn't get my hope to show that a,
• 1:02:10
  a season that makes sense could work.
• 1:02:13
  That's all I wanted.
• 1:02:14
  I wanted a proof of concept and we
• 1:02:17
  didn't get that.
• 1:02:19
  I think though,
• 1:02:20
  with if these two owners and the
• 1:02:24
  speculation behind them,
• 1:02:24
  and if you've heard any rumors about
• 1:02:27
  twenty four hour fitness and how it went
• 1:02:29
  under and how it treated the customers
• 1:02:32
  when it went under,
• 1:02:33
  like that may not be the person I
• 1:02:35
  want running CrossFit.
• 1:02:37
  Right.
• 1:02:38
  And so now.
• 1:02:41
  If it sells to these.
• 1:02:43
  wild west wacky guys does wfp now become
• 1:02:47
  the more stable home just out of default
• 1:02:58
  yeah but even if that is the case
• 1:02:59
  i think some of those like
• 1:03:02
  stronger but those athletes at the top of
• 1:03:04
  the sport would probably i mean yeah it
• 1:03:06
  might take them the full year to earn
• 1:03:09
  it but they they would maybe choose to
• 1:03:10
  go fight for it and earn it which
• 1:03:12
  would honestly be the cooler way to watch
• 1:03:14
  the season play out yeah i mean like
• 1:03:21
  someone like hopper i don't even think you
• 1:03:23
  have to put forth a lot of effort
• 1:03:25
  to keep his card yeah
• 1:03:27
  But someone like Jeff,
• 1:03:30
  who is still supposed to be going at
• 1:03:33
  this point,
• 1:03:34
  like he's going to have to work to
• 1:03:35
  get it.
• 1:03:36
  Right.
• 1:03:39
  Unless more people drop out and it's kind
• 1:03:41
  of a shoo-in.
• 1:03:42
  I mean,
• 1:03:42
  it depends on how many more people drop
• 1:03:43
  out.
• 1:03:45
  Is Justin going to drop out?
• 1:03:47
  Is Dillon going to drop out?
• 1:03:48
  Who knows?
• 1:03:50
  Jody says, no,
• 1:03:51
  no way CrossFit will prevail.
• 1:03:53
  listen if these two owners get in there
• 1:03:56
  and their record and their resume or any
• 1:03:59
  indication it that it may not be a
• 1:04:02
  good thing listen i lived in a town
• 1:04:07
  that was built on the oil industry it
• 1:04:09
  was called oil city quaker state quaker
• 1:04:13
  state's main head office was in my
• 1:04:16
  hometown it was the only thing there
• 1:04:19
  A CEO was brought in in the early
• 1:04:21
  nineties and ran that place into the
• 1:04:23
  ground and it was gone and everybody lost
• 1:04:27
  their job.
• 1:04:28
  And if you would have said in the
• 1:04:29
  eighties that Quaker state would not exist
• 1:04:32
  in my hometown in ten years,
• 1:04:35
  everybody would have called you a liar.
• 1:04:41
  Bad owners and CEOs can run a business
• 1:04:44
  right into the ground and you never see
• 1:04:47
  it again.
• 1:04:55
  Quaker steak and lube is a restaurant
• 1:04:57
  cross fat, not Quaker state,
• 1:04:59
  the motor oil.
• 1:05:05
  Just like Sears.
• 1:05:09
  Yeah.
• 1:05:09
  It,
• 1:05:09
  all it takes is one bad leader to
• 1:05:12
  run it right into the ground.
• 1:05:15
  And that's all I'm saying.
• 1:05:16
  Like,
• 1:05:18
  With the way it's being run right now,
• 1:05:20
  we are critical of it,
• 1:05:21
  but it's going to survive because it still
• 1:05:24
  kind of knows what its base is,
• 1:05:26
  and now they're actually kind of leaning
• 1:05:28
  into the base.
• 1:05:32
  These new owners,
• 1:05:33
  I don't know if they know the base.
• 1:05:43
  I don't know.
• 1:05:48
  just think it's an interesting thought my
• 1:05:50
  hope is that that is not the case
• 1:05:51
  that crossfit will prevail and that
• 1:05:53
  whoever buys it or whoever retains it or
• 1:05:56
  whatever we can continue on the path we've
• 1:05:59
  been going with all of the good things
• 1:06:03
  the the little bit of growth we've seen
• 1:06:05
  recently but i i also have to be
• 1:06:10
  a realist and say i've seen companies
• 1:06:13
  destroyed by new ownership
• 1:06:20
  I don't think competitive fitness or the
• 1:06:21
  fitness industry is going anywhere.
• 1:06:25
  And CrossFit will be done in some form
• 1:06:28
  or fashion, just maybe not under the name.
• 1:06:31
  But it is a realistic possibility that a
• 1:06:33
  bad owner just destroys it.
• 1:06:35
  Yeah,
• 1:06:38
  because it's the name that can get
• 1:06:40
  destroyed.
• 1:06:42
  The methodology and all of that,
• 1:06:44
  people know it works.
• 1:06:45
  People will continue to do that just under
• 1:06:48
  whatever umbrella they'll want to
• 1:06:50
  it under yep right that's why creating a
• 1:06:55
  strong name for crossfit is so important
• 1:06:58
  because like that's that's what separates
• 1:07:00
  us from you know a lot of other
• 1:07:07
  things that are look-alikes yep i mean
• 1:07:10
  we're also technology and and we separate
• 1:07:13
  in other ways but just like in terms
• 1:07:14
  of just getting the name stronger
• 1:07:18
  That's why that interview that Hobart did
• 1:07:19
  with Don Fall and Zia,
• 1:07:22
  the affiliate owner,
• 1:07:23
  is so important for people to see and
• 1:07:25
  hear.
• 1:07:26
  Because Zia lays it out on the table
• 1:07:28
  what an affiliate owner is looking for.
• 1:07:32
  And I'm not sure the new owners are
• 1:07:34
  going to understand that.
• 1:07:37
  Well,
• 1:07:37
  hopefully whoever's looking to buy is
• 1:07:40
  watching the CrossFit media output and
• 1:07:45
  learning some things.
• 1:07:46
  But regardless of like the new owners,
• 1:07:49
  the current owners need to be working on
• 1:07:51
  that all the time.
• 1:07:54
  Which I do think they are.
• 1:07:55
  I think they are finally listening,
• 1:07:57
  but I think it's late,
• 1:07:59
  late in the game, but better.
• 1:08:04
  It's much better, but it's gotta get,
• 1:08:05
  it's gotta continue every day.
• 1:08:08
  It's gotta be pushed different stories,
• 1:08:10
  different, um,
• 1:08:11
  continue different messages and,
• 1:08:13
  and stuff commercials.
• 1:08:17
  Everything.
• 1:08:19
  Yeah.
• 1:08:22
  That'll go all in.
• 1:08:23
  I think the new CrossFit podcast with
• 1:08:25
  Hobart is awesome.
• 1:08:27
  The people he's having on and the
• 1:08:29
  discussions they're having are meaningful.
• 1:08:32
  I think the games podcast is a step
• 1:08:34
  in the direction.
• 1:08:38
  It's got to find its niche.
• 1:08:43
  Because you're not going to have breaking
• 1:08:45
  news every week.
• 1:08:46
  Right.
• 1:08:50
  Are we supposed to get like more
• 1:08:52
  information on the Masters soon?
• 1:08:56
  They have never said when or they haven't.
• 1:09:00
  For some reason,
• 1:09:00
  I thought it was like within like two
• 1:09:02
  weeks of that other announcement.
• 1:09:08
  The weekly Fergie question for Jamie.
• 1:09:12
  We should get a sponsor for this.
• 1:09:15
  Amy,
• 1:09:16
  would you rather run an ultra marathon in
• 1:09:18
  Colorado Rockies or host an open house on
• 1:09:21
  Black Friday weekend?
• 1:09:28
  I don't know.
• 1:09:29
  I guess host an open house.
• 1:09:30
  That's going to be just like a two-hour
• 1:09:34
  open house sometime over the weekend.
• 1:09:38
  Probably that.
• 1:09:42
  I don't like, I would, I don't mind.
• 1:09:44
  I've run a couple of marathons, but ultra,
• 1:09:47
  eh, I don't know if I have the,
• 1:09:52
  I don't know.
• 1:09:53
  I just don't know that I want to
• 1:09:53
  be out there that long.
• 1:09:54
  Jenny says you're going to hear in a
• 1:09:55
  couple of weeks.
• 1:09:56
  Okay.
• 1:09:59
  Just spill it, Jenny.
• 1:10:00
  You already know.
• 1:10:01
  So just, just let us know.
• 1:10:06
  It's a step in a direction.
• 1:10:09
  That's true.
• 1:10:13
  Everybody takes a step in a direction.
• 1:10:14
  Right.
• 1:10:19
  Oh, that's awesome.
• 1:10:21
  Megan Apostolaris asked Boz some
• 1:10:23
  hard-pressed questions.
• 1:10:24
  It was funny.
• 1:10:24
  I love that.
• 1:10:27
  When I did that to Boz at the
• 1:10:29
  age group games,
• 1:10:29
  he now doesn't listen to my texts anymore.
• 1:10:39
  He says open house hands down in two
• 1:10:41
  hours.
• 1:10:41
  Right.
• 1:10:42
  honestly i don't think it'd be busy be
• 1:10:45
  i mean it's black friday weekends i feel
• 1:10:47
  like people are doing shopping and whatnot

• 1:12:03

• 1:12:06
  You just sit there and do some crossword
• 1:12:08
  puzzles and sit at the table.
• 1:12:16
  So.
• 1:12:20
  Yeah, I'm going, Larry.
• 1:12:22
  Yeah.
• 1:12:22
  I'm going.
• 1:12:24
  You got to take those moments when you
• 1:12:25
  can.
• 1:12:27
  Yep.
• 1:12:30
  Plus I get to spend some time with
• 1:12:31
  my mom too and help her.
• 1:12:33
  She needs to move her washer and dryer
• 1:12:35
  upstairs.
• 1:12:37
  So I'm going to clear out that room
• 1:12:38
  so that it can be plumbed and ready
• 1:12:42
  for her.
• 1:12:44
  So we're going to do that too.
• 1:12:46
  Busy, busy day.
• 1:12:50
  i um i i don't have anything else
• 1:12:53
  on our agenda so i'm gonna finish with
• 1:12:54
  this um i went out to mulch leaves
• 1:12:57
  today and get them into bags um and
• 1:13:01
  my allergies oh my lord it was so
• 1:13:05
  so bad but uh i got it all
• 1:13:08
  nice except for there was a couple flower
• 1:13:10
  beds that had some leaves in it but
• 1:13:11
  at least it wasn't going to destroy my
• 1:13:12
  grass
• 1:13:14
  So I come in,
• 1:13:15
  I go to watch football.
• 1:13:16
  I look out the window and there's Julie
• 1:13:17
  with the leaf blower blowing all the
• 1:13:19
  leaves out of the flower beds,
• 1:13:21
  out onto my grass that I just cleaned.
• 1:13:25
  And I'm like,
• 1:13:26
  what the hell are you doing, woman?
• 1:13:28
  She's helping.
• 1:13:33
  So bad.
• 1:13:34
  I was so pissed.
• 1:13:37
  It looks so good.
• 1:13:40
  And then...
• 1:13:41
  There it is.
• 1:13:43
  I guess I got to go out tomorrow
• 1:13:45
  right after work and clean it up again.
• 1:13:48
  Yep.
• 1:13:48
  Gotta love marriage.
• 1:13:49
  That's why I just don't help.
• 1:13:55
  I'll just mess it up.
• 1:13:57
  So she loves running that leaf blower.
• 1:13:59
  Like she clears snow off her car with
• 1:14:02
  the leaf blower.
• 1:14:04
  Like I think she just loves running it.
• 1:14:06
  Yeah.
• 1:14:09
  And she just looks for any excuse.
• 1:14:14
  She goes, I wanted the flower beds clean.
• 1:14:16
  I'm like,
• 1:14:16
  it's okay for them to deteriorate in the
• 1:14:18
  dirt.
• 1:14:18
  That's kind of a good thing.
• 1:14:21
  It's bad when it's in the grass because
• 1:14:22
  it kills the grass.
• 1:14:30
  Anyway, guys,
• 1:14:33
  that's all I got for tonight.
• 1:14:36
  Bears are currently in first place.
• 1:14:38
  They are.
• 1:14:40
  Because the lions haven't finished yet.
• 1:14:41
  Yeah, it's what,
• 1:14:43
  still zero three right now.
• 1:14:45
  We can't score, it seems like.
• 1:14:51
  So I'm going to drink my thirdsy.
• 1:14:54
  I finished mine.
• 1:14:56
  I'm going to figure out the code issue
• 1:14:58
  by tomorrow.
• 1:15:00
  I'll let you guys know.
• 1:15:01
  I do have another appointment tomorrow on
• 1:15:03
  a Monday.
• 1:15:03
  I'm hoping to be back in time to
• 1:15:05
  do the show and hopefully have that
• 1:15:08
  updated code for you by then.
• 1:15:11
  But I did try it myself.
• 1:15:12
  It does not work.
• 1:15:13
  But I do have the email that says,
• 1:15:14
  hey, it's up and running.
• 1:15:18
  So the best part of being a show
• 1:15:20
  with a sponsor.
• 1:15:21
  Yeah, that's great.
• 1:15:22
  We'll get it figured out.
• 1:15:26
  There have been bad games.
• 1:15:28
  Dude, the Bears are seven and three.
• 1:15:32
  Seven and three.
• 1:15:33
  And that's good enough for first?
• 1:15:36
  Seven and three?
• 1:15:38
  Yeah,
• 1:15:39
  there's only two two-loss teams in the
• 1:15:41
  whole league.
• 1:15:41
  No one's dominating them in the series.
• 1:15:45
  Did the Bills win today?
• 1:15:50
  Yeah.
• 1:15:52
  They beat the Buccaneers pretty bad.
• 1:16:00
  it was close at one point uh scott
• 1:16:01
  is jazzed for the bears scott is jazzed
• 1:16:03
  for the bears but he's not jazzed his
• 1:16:05
  jazz code isn't jazzing yeah so okay cool
• 1:16:13
  i will update you guys i'll put it
• 1:16:14
  on instagram once we get it up and
• 1:16:16
  running um because i want you guys to
• 1:16:19
  try this uh salted caramel chocolate
• 1:16:21
  flavor i tried it tonight good
• 1:16:26
  Nice.
• 1:16:27
  Cross fat.
• 1:16:28
  I don't care if they're frauds.
• 1:16:30
  There's no way they should have been seven
• 1:16:32
  and three.
• 1:16:33
  I'll take it.
• 1:16:38
  Winning badly,
• 1:16:40
  winning weirdly is better than losing.
• 1:16:44
  And I will say that.
• 1:16:45
  Amen.
• 1:16:53
  Yeah.
• 1:16:53
  At least your cornerback didn't get shot
• 1:16:54
  this morning.
• 1:16:56
  true thanks Jets cornerback got shot this
• 1:16:59
  morning um in New York and then um
• 1:17:03
  did you see the coach from Last Chance
• 1:17:05
  U was shot and killed on campus on
• 1:17:08
  Friday what yeah you know that you know
• 1:17:12
  the show Last Chance U that's been on
• 1:17:14
  Netflix the coach of that show was shot
• 1:17:17
  and killed on Friday
• 1:17:18
  Holy smokes.
• 1:17:19
  And the Bears cornerback,
• 1:17:22
  who actually got an interception today,
• 1:17:24
  played for him.
• 1:17:26
  And when he got the interception,
• 1:17:27
  he broke down, got on a knee,
• 1:17:29
  and did a little tribute to him.
• 1:17:32
  Oh, my gosh.
• 1:17:34
  But he was very emotional after the game
• 1:17:37
  about it.
• 1:17:39
  Do they have who shot him?
• 1:17:42
  I don't know.
• 1:17:43
  Oh, my gosh.
• 1:17:46
  It's just a weird world, man.
• 1:17:51
  Yeah, it is.
• 1:17:54
  Anyway,
• 1:17:56
  hug your loved ones tonight before bed.
• 1:18:00
  Tell them you love them.
• 1:18:02
  And we'll see everybody next week.
• 1:18:05
  Uh-oh.
• 1:18:06
  Hold it up like you did in the
• 1:18:07
  picture.
• 1:18:15
  My last question to you, Carolyn.
• 1:18:16
  So this year,
• 1:18:18
  you went to the Elite CrossFit Games.
• 1:18:20
  Yes.
• 1:18:21
  you went you took second at the age
• 1:18:23
  group crossfit games you won the service
• 1:18:26
  cup crossfit games ish you've gotten a big
• 1:18:32
  belt you've gotten a medal this is my
• 1:18:35
  first belt like that do you display any
• 1:18:38
  of your awards or do they just like
• 1:18:40
  go in a in a drawer no uh
• 1:18:43
  the only things i have in my other
• 1:18:45
  room is the coins i have the coins
• 1:18:49
  and the and the
• 1:18:51
  the metal from this year of games.
• 1:18:53
  Everything else is like in my closet.
• 1:18:56
  And like my things from when I was
• 1:19:00
  young is our inboxes.
• 1:19:02
  The reason I asked that is a long
• 1:19:06
  time ago, I asked Anna Tobias, what her,
• 1:19:09
  where she kept her Olympic gold medal.
• 1:19:11
  And it's in her side,
• 1:19:13
  the drawer of her side table of her
• 1:19:15
  bed.
• 1:19:15
  A lot of athletes kind of have them
• 1:19:17
  in like hidden spots in their house.
• 1:19:19
  Yeah.
• 1:19:22
  And then I've been in athletes' homes
• 1:19:24
  where they have them displayed in shadow
• 1:19:26
  boxes with the jersey and the little bit.
• 1:19:29
  So it's like one way or the other.
• 1:19:31
  So I was just curious.
• 1:19:35
  I almost get it with a CrossFit medal,
• 1:19:37
  but when Anna Tobias said Olympic gold
• 1:19:38
  medal, that shocked me.
• 1:19:41
  That is once every four years,
• 1:19:45
  you only get a couple shots at it
• 1:19:46
  in life.
• 1:19:48
  So...
• 1:19:52
  Fergie wants to know, Carolyn,
• 1:19:53
  are you still skating?
• 1:19:55
  No, sadly.
• 1:19:57
  I'm a reserve for this hockey team that
• 1:20:03
  has all of my ex-Olympians and people I've
• 1:20:07
  played with in the last few years,
• 1:20:09
  but they haven't called me because
• 1:20:10
  everyone wants to play all the time.
• 1:20:14
  Now what are you going to do,
• 1:20:15
  Carolyn Prevost?
• 1:20:16
  Disneyland?
• 1:20:17
  I've never been to Disneyland.
• 1:20:19
  Me neither.
• 1:20:22
  Disneyland or Disney World.
• 1:20:24
  You need to go to Syndicate next and
• 1:20:26
  get a sword.
• 1:20:27
  I have swords from Type Window.
• 1:20:28
  Plenty of those.
• 1:20:35
  But those are back home as well.
• 1:20:36
  Rich has his in like a closet.
• 1:20:37
  I think he said like he let Hillary
• 1:20:39
  do the first one in a shadow box,
• 1:20:42
  but the rest are just kind of stored
• 1:20:45
  away.
• 1:20:50
  I thought she was going to say I'm
• 1:20:51
  a reserve for the WFP.
• 1:20:54
  We didn't really talk about the
• 1:20:55
  withdrawals.
• 1:20:55
  There's a lot of them.
• 1:20:57
  A lot of them.
• 1:21:00
  I did wonder if people were saying yes
• 1:21:04
  down the list.
• 1:21:05
  Holly did check that out.
• 1:21:07
  They are going down the list and nobody
• 1:21:08
  has denied the invite to fill.
• 1:21:10
  Holly did a good post on the points
• 1:21:11
  and stuff.
• 1:21:18
  she did it's confused a lot of people
• 1:21:20
  because the the points that she posted
• 1:21:24
  removed everybody who's withdrawn okay and
• 1:21:29
  then she posted a spreadsheet a link to
• 1:21:31
  a spreadsheet that has everybody and their
• 1:21:34
  points and where they see the ones
• 1:21:36
  withdrawn like they have no shot now right
• 1:21:38
  because it's double points or i think
• 1:21:41
  that's true you would think so right right
• 1:21:43
  yeah
• 1:21:48
  mean i think so yes so how she
• 1:21:52
  posted it makes sense right she just
• 1:21:55
  anybody who's withdrawn she because we
• 1:21:58
  were trying to figure out who's going to
• 1:21:59
  be in copenhagen so if they've withdrawn
• 1:22:01
  she took them off the board yeah and
• 1:22:04
  then she put the people that filled in
• 1:22:05
  for them on the board and then like
• 1:22:08
  the next the next few that may get
• 1:22:11
  the call up
• 1:22:16
  so i think it makes sense i think
• 1:22:19
  something like that is what wfp should be
• 1:22:21
  posting yep like who's who's in right now
• 1:22:26
  who's not coming like something like what
• 1:22:28
  you know all it is preacher choir carolyn
• 1:22:34
  preacher choir yeah they should be doing
• 1:22:38
  something media wise to promote
• 1:22:41
  The fact that they had to send out
• 1:22:42
  to media a second time reminding them that
• 1:22:44
  they're having this event and you can sign
• 1:22:47
  up for media credentials,
• 1:22:48
  I've never seen that in the CrossFit space
• 1:22:50
  ever.
• 1:22:51
  Because usually like the games or the
• 1:22:54
  semifinals send out media requests and
• 1:22:56
  they're gobbled up immediately.
• 1:23:00
  They're having a hard time getting people
• 1:23:01
  to come to Copenhagen at Christmas.
• 1:23:08
  Hey, Burgess.
• 1:23:11
  Not a great time.
• 1:23:12
  Scott's a Bears fan.
• 1:23:13
  He lives for the In the Hunt graphics.
• 1:23:15
  Exactly.
• 1:23:18
  And that's what the sport's about.
• 1:23:21
  You're trying to see who is on the
• 1:23:24
  cusp of maybe stealing a pro card.
• 1:23:27
  That's what makes it interesting.
• 1:23:29
  If you don't know that,
• 1:23:30
  then you don't know the storyline going
• 1:23:32
  in.
• 1:23:35
  And when you can do it graphically,
• 1:23:37
  it makes more sense to people.
• 1:23:38
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:23:41
  That's it.
• 1:23:43
  I don't need to dive down a rabbit
• 1:23:44
  hole again.
• 1:23:48
  Christmas was never a good call for an
• 1:23:50
  event.
• 1:23:52
  WFP is giving out enhanced media
• 1:23:54
  credentials.
• 1:24:01
  Let me be outraged by the first four
• 1:24:04
  out NCAA list.
• 1:24:07
  So for those of you who don't watch
• 1:24:08
  basketball, they put out a graphic saying,
• 1:24:11
  This is what we think the tournament
• 1:24:13
  bracket's going to be.
• 1:24:14
  Here's the four teams that we don't think
• 1:24:16
  are going to make it.
• 1:24:17
  And everybody goes up in arms that their
• 1:24:19
  school was left out of the NCAA tournament
• 1:24:22
  before it's actually even happened.
• 1:24:24
  Yeah.
• 1:24:26
  Yeah.
• 1:24:27
  But it shows you why it's important in
• 1:24:29
  sports to have those graphics.
• 1:24:31
  Because it creates talk.
• 1:24:32
  It creates...
• 1:24:33
  The cut line is the most important thing.
• 1:24:35
  Like, for any playoff baseball,
• 1:24:37
  everything.
• 1:24:37
  Like, you're looking at the cut line.
• 1:24:38
  You're looking who's going to be in and
• 1:24:39
  who's out.
• 1:24:41
  what's left, possibilities.
• 1:24:46
  Why do you think the baseball standings
• 1:24:47
  say how many games out of first place?
• 1:24:51
  Because people want to know,
• 1:24:52
  do we have a shot?
• 1:24:56
  Yeah.
• 1:24:58
  It only makes sense.
• 1:24:59
  Because they could put like the whole list
• 1:25:01
  right now and then put a little X
• 1:25:03
  for the ones that have like claimed for
• 1:25:06
  sure their slots or like a Y for
• 1:25:07
  the ones that are like claimed and then
• 1:25:10
  like
• 1:25:11
  if you are not competing maybe,
• 1:25:14
  and it's like guaranteed that you're going
• 1:25:15
  to be out,
• 1:25:16
  like put something besides that,
• 1:25:19
  like an asterisk.
• 1:25:21
  Yeah.
• 1:25:22
  They do that.
• 1:25:23
  Like they, it in baseball,
• 1:25:25
  it's like an E for eliminated.
• 1:25:28
  Um, and then like an X,
• 1:25:29
  if you're in the playoffs, a Y,
• 1:25:31
  if you've won the division,
• 1:25:33
  so you can come up with a code
• 1:25:35
  that like makes that make sense.
• 1:25:39
  But yeah.
• 1:25:41
  Like a P you've got your pro card
• 1:25:42
  and you're eliminated from pro card
• 1:25:45
  consideration.
• 1:25:46
  Exactly.
• 1:25:46
  We're giving them ideas right now.
• 1:25:52
  Yeah.
• 1:25:55
  Well, last time Holly and I did this,
• 1:25:57
  a member of their team reached out to
• 1:25:59
  us and then they put out a graphic
• 1:26:01
  with a line.
• 1:26:03
  I think Holly's was better, but,
• 1:26:06
  but it's fine.
• 1:26:07
  I might be biased.
• 1:26:10
  So anyway, with that, guys,
• 1:26:13
  we are going to head out now.
