  all started off today but
• 0:51
  we have a lot to talk about
• 0:53
  And I don't know what order
• 0:53
  we're going to do it in.
• 0:55
  Notes are in what order,
• 0:56
  but I'm leaving it up to
• 0:57
  you guys how you want to
• 0:58
  kind of do this rundown.
• 1:00
  How have you guys been this week?
• 1:05
  Oh, and we have Carolyn Prevo with us,
• 1:08
  who we're hoping will be a
• 1:10
  regular contributor to the
• 1:11
  show throughout the season.
• 1:15
  We're putting that in her
• 1:16
  court because I know she's
• 1:17
  a busy athlete and teacher,
• 1:21
  but we love her input.
• 1:24
  And when you're on the comments,
• 1:26
  ask for you to keep coming back.
• 1:28
  Awesome.
• 1:29
  I'll try to do as many as I
• 1:31
  can on Thursdays.
• 1:33
  So we, yeah, I had, I had a good week.
• 1:37
  Um, Tuesday here was like 70 degrees.
• 1:40
  It was insane.
• 1:41
  Um, went outside for a run.
• 1:44
  It was just gorgeous.
• 1:45
  And then.
• 1:46
  That night it dropped to
• 1:48
  like 20 and terrible storms
• 1:52
  like hail and lightning.
• 1:55
  And then it snowed on Wednesday.
• 1:56
  So it was great.
• 1:58
  Yesterday was freezing again.
• 1:59
  And it was still pretty cold today.
• 2:01
  So yeah,
• 2:03
  just that normal Michigan weather.
• 2:06
  Yeah,
• 2:07
  I got up for my procedure Wednesday
• 2:09
  morning,
• 2:10
  and I woke up to text messages
• 2:12
  from my nephew who lives
• 2:14
  west of Columbus asking if we were okay.
• 2:17
  Yeah.
• 2:18
  And I'm like, what are you talking about?
• 2:20
  And he goes, you didn't get the storms?
• 2:23
  They apparently went right
• 2:25
  around us in Columbus.
• 2:27
  Oh, my gosh.
• 2:28
  And Julie and I didn't wake up at all.
• 2:31
  We slept right till six
• 2:32
  o'clock before I had to go
• 2:33
  to my procedure.
• 2:35
  But apparently they got hit pretty hard.
• 2:37
  So the tornadoes may have touched down.
• 2:42
  Wow.
• 2:43
  It's been really windy here
• 2:44
  the last couple of days in Toronto.
• 2:48
  Yeah.
• 2:50
  So glad that they kind of went around us.
• 2:52
  That was a stressful morning anyway.
• 2:54
  Didn't need to add anything
• 2:56
  to our plate that day.
• 2:58
  And how are we doing now, Scott?
• 3:01
  So yesterday I felt great.
• 3:04
  Finished the procedure.
• 3:06
  Felt like a million bucks all day long.
• 3:08
  And then I'll show you.
• 3:11
  I went to bed.
• 3:11
  I woke up at 1 o'clock in
• 3:13
  the morning last night.
• 3:15
  And I will show you why real quick.
• 3:19
  Uh-oh.
• 3:22
  So I don't know if you can see that.
• 3:25
  That is where they shocked
• 3:26
  me and it burnt my skin.
• 3:31
  It looks like you tanned
• 3:32
  with like you had like a
• 3:33
  cell phone or something on you.
• 3:36
  So that splotch started to
• 3:41
  hurt at one o'clock in the morning.
• 3:43
  Itchy or hurting also?
• 3:45
  Was it itchy at all in the brain?
• 3:47
  So the same one is on my back.
• 3:49
  So they had a pad on my back
• 3:50
  and a pad on my chest when
• 3:52
  they shocked me.
• 3:54
  The one on my back is itchy.
• 3:56
  The one on my chest hurts.
• 4:00
  So I don't know why the difference.
• 4:02
  But we were digging around
• 4:04
  in cupboards looking for
• 4:05
  aloe last night at 1
• 4:08
  o'clock in the morning.
• 4:09
  We found some.
• 4:10
  It seemed to make it a lot
• 4:12
  better at that moment,
• 4:14
  and it's been better today.
• 4:16
  My back is super itchy,
• 4:18
  but the front is – the chest is okay.
• 4:21
  You need one of those, like, scratchers.
• 4:23
  Lex got me one.
• 4:24
  It's like a long scratching stick.
• 4:27
  Those are the best.
• 4:29
  Those are the best.
• 4:30
  It interrupted my sleep,
• 4:32
  and then I went to work,
• 4:33
  and now everything is
• 4:35
  flushing out of my system.
• 4:37
  My heart is pumping right,
• 4:39
  so now it wants to get rid
• 4:40
  of all the toxins.
• 4:42
  So my sinus is filled up today,
• 4:44
  and I've been blowing my nose all day.
• 4:46
  And it just kind of stopped now,
• 4:50
  right before we went on the air, which is,
• 4:52
  thank goodness for that.
• 4:54
  But I still feel a ton better.
• 4:56
  It's just I've got to get
• 4:58
  over these little hurdles
• 4:59
  of recovery to kind of get
• 5:03
  clear of it all.
• 5:05
  last night I i did the the
• 5:07
  interview with ariel and
• 5:08
  then I went out and met uh
• 5:09
  prospective sponsor which
• 5:12
  I'm wearing uh one of their
• 5:13
  items now and I don't know
• 5:15
  if you can see the the cool
• 5:17
  little logo with my name
• 5:18
  under it um it's thick boy
• 5:21
  they are at the arnold they
• 5:22
  are right across the aisle
• 5:24
  from rogue so it's a great place uh
• 5:30
  and uh yeah so felt great
• 5:32
  last night and then all
• 5:33
  that today just trying to
• 5:35
  get through everything and
• 5:36
  then hopefully tomorrow
• 5:37
  we're past a lot of this
• 5:39
  fingers crossed are you
• 5:47
  gonna go by the arnold at
• 5:48
  all or uh I'm gonna try
• 5:52
  Because I walked today a little bit,
• 5:56
  and it's not my lungs or my heart.
• 5:58
  Man,
• 5:59
  my muscles are so sore just from the
• 6:01
  inactivity, like hips, back.
• 6:05
  So I'd like to get moving a
• 6:08
  little bit more and at least go down,
• 6:10
  maybe get a couple interviews in.
• 6:11
  I know Charlie's going to go
• 6:13
  down tomorrow and try to
• 6:14
  get some interviews there
• 6:16
  from different athletes.
• 6:18
  Jamie's going Saturday.
• 6:19
  And then Sunday,
• 6:21
  maybe I'll go in because
• 6:24
  Charlie's actually
• 6:25
  competing in the pump and run on Sunday.
• 6:29
  He is.
• 6:30
  What's the pump and run?
• 6:32
  Because that's the name of a
• 6:33
  challenge for Rogue.
• 6:34
  And now I'm curious, what is that?
• 6:37
  So it is a 5K,
• 6:39
  but you start with bench
• 6:40
  press and you bench press
• 6:42
  your body weight as many reps as you can.
• 6:44
  And with that,
• 6:46
  you get that much time off of your 5K.
• 6:50
  And I think it's like 10 seconds a rep.
• 6:54
  It sounds about right.
• 6:55
  Okay,
• 6:55
  so I'm looking at something like that
• 6:57
  for the Rogue Challenge probably.
• 6:59
  They haven't announced what it is,
• 7:00
  but I don't know if they'll
• 7:02
  do that in a shuttle run
• 7:04
  for an online version.
• 7:05
  A 5K shuttle run?
• 7:07
  Some sort of shuttle run, not 5K.
• 7:10
  Because I think there's a
• 7:11
  lot of cheating that's going to happen.
• 7:13
  If you don't make it into a
• 7:14
  25 and people like, oh,
• 7:16
  I went around the block or this distance,
• 7:18
  they had cheating in that
• 7:20
  rogue challenge a few years
• 7:21
  ago when he wants to run 400 meters,
• 7:23
  like 200 there and back.
• 7:25
  And these people were
• 7:26
  running and like slow jogging,
• 7:27
  like a one minute, 400.
• 7:29
  I was like, Yeah.
• 7:32
  So this is the traditional Arnold event.
• 7:36
  This has been around for like, uh,
• 7:38
  like 20 plus years.
• 7:42
  And so that is the pump and
• 7:43
  run last year for rogue.
• 7:46
  They did the pump and row.
• 7:48
  And then we did it at Polaris,
• 7:50
  which was a lot of fun.
• 7:51
  It was a 2000 meter row
• 7:53
  after your bench press.
• 7:56
  It's the same challenge they
• 7:57
  do for the challenges.
• 7:59
  Yeah.
• 8:00
  So I don't know if it's in
• 8:02
  my back pocket now.
• 8:04
  All right.
• 8:04
  Yeah.
• 8:05
  Trying to see.
• 8:06
  So yeah.
• 8:08
  Um, and so Charlie's doing it.
• 8:09
  He is one of the best bench
• 8:10
  pressers I've ever seen in my life.
• 8:13
  So I'm just worried about his run.
• 8:16
  That's all.
• 8:19
  And at one point he was a great runner,
• 8:21
  but he has a new hip.
• 8:23
  He has like things going on.
• 8:25
  So I don't know if it's
• 8:26
  going to be a dumpster fire or not,
• 8:27
  but I want to get some,
• 8:29
  at least some footage of
• 8:31
  the carnage if it happens.
• 8:35
  That's exciting.
• 8:37
  So super exciting.
• 8:40
  Big event in Columbus,
• 8:41
  70,000 people in one place.
• 8:44
  It's insane.
• 8:45
  Yeah, I've never been.
• 8:48
  I'm excited.
• 8:50
  I've been once and it was dead silence.
• 8:52
  It was during the pandemic
• 8:53
  and I had the rogue deadlift challenge.
• 8:57
  And the only people,
• 8:58
  it was actually cool
• 8:59
  because the only people
• 9:01
  that were there were the athletes.
• 9:02
  So you got to watch any of
• 9:04
  the events that were going on.
• 9:05
  You didn't have to worry about a crowd,
• 9:07
  any, like you just showed up,
• 9:08
  you watch this, you walk there,
• 9:09
  you saw all the athletes,
• 9:11
  you could talk to the athletes.
• 9:13
  So I had a different
• 9:14
  experience of the Arnold.
• 9:15
  Yeah.
• 9:16
  Yeah, I was there that year.
• 9:17
  I was judging the affiliate,
• 9:22
  whatever they call it,
• 9:23
  the affiliate gathering for CrossFit.
• 9:27
  And it was just the people
• 9:29
  competing and the judges,
• 9:31
  and that was all that was there.
• 9:32
  That's crazy.
• 9:35
  Yeah.
• 9:35
  And from years past, it was so weird.
• 9:37
  It was so bizarre.
• 9:39
  Because it is utter chaos on stage.
• 9:43
  great awesome it is that's
• 9:46
  when you're going jamie
• 9:47
  yeah I gotta leave at like
• 9:48
  4 a.m to even get there in
• 9:52
  a reasonable time I can't
• 9:55
  even imagine what parking
• 9:56
  is going to be like because
• 9:57
  it's the busiest day um so
• 10:00
  we'll be lucky to get in
• 10:01
  there by nine which I think
• 10:03
  is when it starts so the
• 10:05
  expo doesn't open till 10
• 10:07
  oh good maybe we can leave
• 10:08
  at like 5 a.m um
• 10:12
  yeah if you're not there in
• 10:14
  the morning like the garage
• 10:15
  is full yeah yeah we'll get
• 10:20
  on the road early so we can
• 10:22
  get there and be there and
• 10:24
  then yeah I think we'll
• 10:25
  stay the night and go a
• 10:26
  little bit on sunday too
• 10:27
  probably leave about one o'clock yeah
• 10:31
  The Disney world of sports.
• 10:34
  My daughter wanted to go one
• 10:35
  year because I used to work
• 10:36
  security for the
• 10:37
  bodybuilding and so I had
• 10:39
  free tickets and then I
• 10:41
  took my daughter one year.
• 10:42
  She never wanted to go back
• 10:43
  after that one time.
• 10:45
  Like it was just too many people.
• 10:50
  She wanted to go see Half Thor Deadlift.
• 10:54
  So we did.
• 10:58
  Yeah.
• 11:01
  So, Carolyn, how was your week?
• 11:05
  Same old teaching.
• 11:07
  I was correcting some math stuff tonight,
• 11:09
  and then this is a nice
• 11:10
  break to my corrections.
• 11:13
  Training's going well.
• 11:16
  end up doing the open
• 11:17
  workout probably tomorrow.
• 11:18
  I watched our 67 year old
• 11:21
  member today do the workout
• 11:23
  right after the announcement.
• 11:25
  Um,
• 11:25
  she normally qualifies to quarter
• 11:28
  finals of masters and she's
• 11:30
  excited about the changes
• 11:31
  for the number of people.
• 11:32
  Cause I think she'll be able
• 11:33
  to make it to the semifinals this year.
• 11:36
  So, um, hoping to see that.
• 11:40
  And, uh, yeah,
• 11:41
  so that was exciting to watch her do it.
• 11:42
  That's awesome.
• 11:46
  speaking of that 65 plus um
• 11:49
  I've been talking lan has
• 11:50
  been sending me messages
• 11:52
  just because she's like the
• 11:53
  nicest person on earth um
• 11:55
  and they're doing their
• 11:56
  adaptive crew and she is
• 11:59
  going to send us she
• 12:00
  offered to send us some
• 12:01
  footage I need to write her
• 12:02
  back and say yes please do
• 12:05
  yeah footage of uh some
• 12:07
  adaptive athletes do in the
• 12:08
  open um that'd be awesome
• 12:11
  plus this is the inaugural
• 12:12
  year of trying out the 70
• 12:14
  plus age group so
• 12:16
  But they're not doing it on
• 12:18
  the leaderboard of the games, though.
• 12:21
  They're just inviting the top 70-year-olds,
• 12:23
  the top 10 70-year-olds?
• 12:24
  Yeah, you have to put in a hashtag,
• 12:28
  whatever, so that you can be grouped.
• 12:29
  Because that population
• 12:31
  knows all the hashtag stuff, right?
• 12:33
  Right, exactly.
• 12:35
  Exactly.
• 12:37
  All right.
• 12:40
  They're down with the hashtags.
• 12:42
  the technology in that crew
• 12:44
  I remember jim had the one
• 12:47
  of the judges like sent
• 12:47
  something back and was like
• 12:49
  I think basically the music
• 12:51
  either blocked it or did
• 12:53
  something and they're like
• 12:54
  you need to send that in
• 12:54
  with no music and I was
• 12:56
  gone and jim was like I
• 12:58
  don't know what to do it
• 12:59
  was a disaster the guy sent
• 13:02
  him like instructions but oh man
• 13:05
  Yeah.
• 13:05
  It sounds like my member,
• 13:06
  the lady that does it and always like,
• 13:10
  can you upload it?
• 13:11
  This is how you submit it.
• 13:14
  Yeah, absolutely.
• 13:16
  Um,
• 13:18
  so this open workout is all that I saw
• 13:23
  so far.
• 13:23
  I didn't even see foundations.
• 13:25
  They do have a cute, but psycho shirt.
• 13:26
  It's hilarious.
• 13:27
  I may be getting that one.
• 13:29
  Um, yeah, it's a good shirt.
• 13:32
  Uh,
• 13:33
  All I saw was scaled was a
• 13:36
  lighter dumbbell and that's it.
• 13:38
  I didn't see anything about
• 13:39
  burpees being differently.
• 13:40
  So like for our gym population,
• 13:44
  like almost everyone would
• 13:45
  be able to handle the 35 and 50 dumbbell.
• 13:48
  There'd be some cases, but like,
• 13:50
  it's the burpee that like
• 13:52
  our members need to step burpees.
• 13:55
  And I'm shocked that scale does not step.
• 14:00
  I didn't notice unless I missed something,
• 14:01
  unless I missed something.
• 14:03
  It is it is not step it is
• 14:05
  jump over the dumbbell.
• 14:08
  I mean, that makes no sense.
• 14:11
  That's the workout is burpees.
• 14:13
  It is like, that's what you need to scale.
• 14:20
  To me,
• 14:22
  if you have to scale jumping over a
• 14:23
  dumbbell, then it's probably foundations.
• 14:28
  And I didn't see foundations.
• 14:29
  Maybe I'm missing something.
• 14:30
  Maybe there's a different a
• 14:31
  totally different like,
• 14:32
  Foundations is just burpees.
• 14:36
  No jump, no jump over.
• 14:40
  And it's 25 pounds suggested dumbbell,
• 14:46
  but it says do whatever is
• 14:49
  in the foundations.
• 14:50
  Do whatever is for you.
• 14:54
  I'm surprised that foundations is burpees.
• 14:57
  I'm surprised it's not the
• 14:58
  no pushup burpee.
• 15:00
  Where you're just going to the plank.
• 15:02
  I'm not.
• 15:02
  They want foundations to be
• 15:03
  able to get to the ground
• 15:04
  and get back up.
• 15:06
  I agree.
• 15:07
  I just know that some of our
• 15:11
  members that would probably
• 15:11
  need to do foundations
• 15:12
  probably need to just be
• 15:15
  stepping down to a plank
• 15:17
  and stepping back up.
• 15:19
  Or we're going to be there for a while.
• 15:21
  We're going to be there for
• 15:21
  all 15 minutes trying to do some burpees.
• 15:26
  Yeah.
• 15:27
  Oh, you can do elevated burpees.
• 15:28
  Well then, so that is an, that is a. Yeah.
• 15:32
  Foundations is pretty much
• 15:34
  just suggestions where the
• 15:36
  coach kind of modifies for the athlete.
• 15:41
  Yeah.
• 15:41
  I just,
• 15:41
  then I would have rather seen
• 15:43
  scaled be a workout.
• 15:47
  People could move faster through.
• 15:49
  What I don't want to see is
• 15:51
  my members doing a burpee
• 15:53
  every 20 seconds because
• 15:54
  they have to jump,
• 15:55
  and they're literally so out of breath.
• 15:59
  I'd like to see them get
• 16:00
  down and up and stepping and stay moving.
• 16:02
  I still am confused by the whole,
• 16:06
  it's not a two-foot takeoff,
• 16:08
  but you can't step over,
• 16:10
  and where that gray line is.
• 16:13
  I still don't understand it.
• 16:14
  It looks awful.
• 16:17
  I'm not sure what that even means.
• 16:19
  Just means you cannot,
• 16:21
  you need both feet in the
• 16:23
  air at some point is what
• 16:24
  I'm assuming before it lands.
• 16:26
  Right.
• 16:26
  Is that.
• 16:27
  That is correct,
• 16:29
  but it is horrible to judge.
• 16:31
  Yeah.
• 16:33
  To me.
• 16:33
  Yeah.
• 16:34
  It needs to be both feet
• 16:36
  need to be over the dumbbell.
• 16:39
  At the same time.
• 16:40
  That's how I think when they
• 16:41
  try to do this or the
• 16:42
  barbell or whatever it is,
• 16:42
  when they're trying to do that, like,
• 16:44
  sure,
• 16:44
  the one foot might like take off
• 16:46
  slightly later,
• 16:47
  but both feet need to be
• 16:48
  going over the implement at
• 16:49
  the same time.
• 16:50
  That's how I would write a
• 16:51
  standard so that you aren't
• 16:52
  getting this little like,
• 16:54
  where it's both are off,
• 16:56
  but they're both off like over here.
• 16:58
  Like one's on this side,
• 16:58
  one's on this side,
• 16:59
  and this one's coming.
• 17:00
  I mean,
• 17:01
  you're doing a modified skip that
• 17:03
  for like a point one second
• 17:05
  has both feet up off the ground.
• 17:06
  That is not the same as
• 17:08
  getting both feet up and over,
• 17:10
  even if one trails by a
• 17:13
  half second behind.
• 17:15
  And then you have to land
• 17:16
  before putting your feet or
• 17:17
  your hands down on the ground.
• 17:19
  But I don't think there's
• 17:19
  even anything that's written on that,
• 17:21
  but they should write that.
• 17:25
  So you can't just flop it
• 17:26
  down into like an office.
• 17:27
  You must land on the other
• 17:29
  side prior to your hands
• 17:31
  because if they don't write that,
• 17:33
  you could technically flop.
• 17:37
  Yeah.
• 17:38
  Like, I'm just saying.
• 17:41
  Don't, don't.
• 17:42
  So I'm with Andrew on this.
• 17:45
  They need to do what Legend says.
• 17:46
  Just get over.
• 17:47
  Stepping isn't faster, right?
• 17:50
  This is the open.
• 17:52
  they've reduced,
• 17:53
  they got rid of all the tape.
• 17:54
  They got rid of all the floor plans.
• 17:57
  Just get over the, just,
• 17:58
  just like they did in with
• 18:00
  the box step up or jump.
• 18:02
  It was your choice,
• 18:03
  but step ups are going to be slower.
• 18:06
  Right?
• 18:06
  Like, well, yeah.
• 18:10
  Yes.
• 18:11
  I mean,
• 18:11
  this is what I said when I was
• 18:14
  guessing a possible workout with like the,
• 18:15
  the row and burpee over the rower.
• 18:18
  And like I said,
• 18:19
  And you make it whatever,
• 18:21
  just get yourself over the rower.
• 18:23
  So there is no like trying to judge that.
• 18:27
  Years ago,
• 18:28
  did it like that where it was just like,
• 18:29
  get over the rower.
• 18:31
  As long as you're not going
• 18:31
  around the rower, didn't matter.
• 18:33
  You could step over, you could jump over,
• 18:35
  whatever's going to be faster for you.
• 18:36
  If you want to step over and
• 18:37
  that's faster than you step over.
• 18:39
  Yeah.
• 18:41
  But that's further away from like,
• 18:44
  the whole community being able to do it.
• 18:47
  Back to what Jamie was arguing,
• 18:48
  and I wanted to argue
• 18:49
  against her is that I think
• 18:52
  90% of the population can
• 18:55
  jump over a dumbbell.
• 18:56
  And we shouldn't dumb that
• 18:57
  down even more for the few
• 19:00
  people who can't.
• 19:01
  That's what foundations is for.
• 19:06
  It is Lord to the ground than the barbell.
• 19:08
  So
• 19:09
  It is.
• 19:10
  It's I mean,
• 19:11
  a 25 pound dumbbell or a 35
• 19:13
  pound dumbbell is not very big.
• 19:21
  And they could literally put
• 19:22
  their foot up in the air,
• 19:24
  almost be at the other side.
• 19:25
  And then.
• 19:26
  Yeah, that's what you're getting.
• 19:28
  And people are going to end
• 19:28
  up skirting line.
• 19:29
  And I don't want to see that.
• 19:30
  Then just make it whatever it is.
• 19:32
  Just get over the darn dumbbell.
• 19:37
  So Kenneth asks, from a non-cult member,
• 19:40
  why is it allowed to stay
• 19:41
  bent over when doing the
• 19:42
  burpees for these jump overs?
• 19:45
  Just for speed reasons?
• 19:47
  Usually when it's a lateral burpee,
• 19:49
  you don't have to clear the hips.
• 19:51
  If it's a bar-facing burpee
• 19:53
  or a dumbbell-facing burpee,
• 19:55
  then you have to clear the hips.
• 19:57
  No.
• 19:58
  No?
• 19:58
  You stay super low on any,
• 20:01
  unless it's a burpee,
• 20:02
  burpee to a target or just a burpee.
• 20:04
  Or a burpee to a jump.
• 20:05
  Okay.
• 20:05
  Okay.
• 20:07
  Burpee box jump,
• 20:08
  you have to open up your hips at the top.
• 20:09
  Burpee box jump overs, you can stay low.
• 20:12
  Burpee, bar facing burpees,
• 20:14
  you can stay low.
• 20:14
  Lateral burpees, you can stay low.
• 20:15
  The only ones that you have
• 20:16
  to open the hip is to a
• 20:17
  target or a regular burpee
• 20:19
  without anything else or a
• 20:20
  burpee box jump.
• 20:23
  Well,
• 20:23
  that's because it's the box jump and
• 20:25
  the box jump standard is standing.
• 20:27
  Literally only burpees,
• 20:29
  burpees to a target or
• 20:30
  burpees are where you have to stand up,
• 20:33
  open up hips and shoulders.
• 20:36
  The truth of the matter is, Ken,
• 20:37
  is that this is so Carolyn
• 20:39
  can finish top five because
• 20:41
  she's really good at this technique.
• 20:43
  It's good.
• 20:44
  Stay in love.
• 20:47
  Ready for it.
• 20:50
  I mean, it's hard to catch your breath.
• 20:53
  And so you have to be fit
• 20:55
  enough to do that.
• 20:57
  Just don't breathe.
• 20:58
  Well, yeah, you got to go fast enough.
• 20:59
  You have to be fit enough to
• 21:01
  maintain that.
• 21:01
  Otherwise,
• 21:02
  you'll notice in longer workouts
• 21:04
  of bar pacing,
• 21:04
  there are people who will
• 21:05
  end up kind of standing up
• 21:08
  and jumping over because
• 21:09
  they've gone too fast and
• 21:11
  they have to start slowing
• 21:11
  down and breathe.
• 21:14
  So I have the workout up.
• 21:19
  Let's hear it from you too.
• 21:20
  Like, what is the strategy for this?
• 21:23
  Is it something you expected?
• 21:26
  Is this a surprise to you?
• 21:28
  I'd like that the mushroom
• 21:30
  actually made sense.
• 21:32
  And I mean, it didn't make sense.
• 21:37
  Well, he did.
• 21:38
  And it was like this, like it,
• 21:40
  it expanded as it came down.
• 21:41
  I can do that to anything I
• 21:46
  write on the board too and say, Hey,
• 21:47
  here's my mushroom.
• 21:49
  But it's nice that that's
• 21:50
  the first time he included his clue.
• 21:52
  Right.
• 21:53
  It was way better than things in the past.
• 21:55
  Yes.
• 21:55
  Let's be honest.
• 21:57
  I'll give you that.
• 21:58
  So anyway,
• 22:00
  so how would you guys attack this?
• 22:05
  All gas, no brakes.
• 22:09
  I mean, it's unbroken.
• 22:12
  It's going to blow up your back.
• 22:14
  I've heard it's going to get grippy too.
• 22:17
  After you're done the set of 21s,
• 22:19
  you're done 42 reps.
• 22:21
  You're basically halfway right there.
• 22:25
  If you have it in you on the second part,
• 22:28
  that's when you can burn it down.
• 22:31
  You can lose it in those first 21s.
• 22:35
  You can always go faster at the end.
• 22:38
  If you go too fast to start,
• 22:39
  then it could be a little
• 22:42
  bit risky there.
• 22:45
  Yeah.
• 22:45
  But if you know your
• 22:46
  capacity and you're able to
• 22:48
  hold on to that pace, then you can,
• 22:50
  you can push.
• 22:52
  So Carolyn, did you do 18.0?
• 22:55
  0.0.
• 22:57
  What's that?
• 22:58
  Yeah.
• 22:59
  So immediately when Dave
• 23:01
  started announcing, I, he goes 21, 59,
• 23:05
  jumbo snatch for be over the number.
• 23:06
  I was like, Oh, we're doing 18.0.
• 23:09
  Well, I couldn't remember.
• 23:10
  It was like the year that we
• 23:11
  did 0.0 was the week before the open.
• 23:14
  And I was like,
• 23:15
  that was like a three minute workout.
• 23:17
  Um, cause I did it.
• 23:19
  I did it with my son five years ago.
• 23:21
  Now he's littler.
• 23:23
  Um, and I got to find my video.
• 23:25
  I have not had a chance to
• 23:26
  do that cause I want to pull it up,
• 23:27
  but I remember it being
• 23:28
  about three minutes.
• 23:28
  So, and then, and then he, you know,
• 23:31
  spends five minutes going
• 23:32
  over the progression and I'm like,
• 23:34
  all right, so double 18.0.
• 23:35
  So it's going to be six or seven minutes.
• 23:38
  I may have done it, but I don't remember.
• 23:40
  I was like, I was spot on with the time.
• 23:41
  Um, yeah.
• 23:44
  So yeah,
• 23:45
  it was at a year where they did
• 23:47
  like a practice run.
• 23:48
  He did the week before the open started.
• 23:51
  He, he's had a workout.
• 23:53
  I actually am shocked.
• 23:54
  He didn't say 18.0.
• 23:57
  Um, because like, I'm,
• 24:01
  that was my second year and I was like,
• 24:03
  so gung ho about the open.
• 24:06
  Um,
• 24:06
  and I just remember that came out and I
• 24:07
  was like, I am doing this.
• 24:08
  I'm figuring out like,
• 24:10
  maybe it's going to lead to something.
• 24:11
  Um, but yeah, I did.
• 24:13
  It was,
• 24:16
  I remember something like that.
• 24:17
  I just don't remember if I did it or not,
• 24:19
  but.
• 24:21
  You were probably too good for it.
• 24:22
  It was like for us noobs trying to.
• 24:25
  I for sure have it.
• 24:30
  I need to find my time.
• 24:33
  18 had the dumbbell.
• 24:34
  The first or second had the
• 24:36
  dumbbell front squats with the,
• 24:39
  with the burpees on that one.
• 24:40
  Yep.
• 24:41
  Yeah.
• 24:45
  Uh, Kenneth,
• 24:45
  who's been a member now for 11 months,
• 24:48
  a new favorite show of the week.
• 24:49
  Don't tell coach Cheryl.
• 24:55
  Yeah, I remember.
• 24:57
  So the difference of that one,
• 24:58
  obviously it was 21 59.
• 24:59
  So it was 21 alternating.
• 25:01
  Um, and I re like, I need to,
• 25:05
  I really need to find the
• 25:06
  video so I can like look
• 25:07
  back and see how slow my,
• 25:09
  I like digressed over that workout, but,
• 25:12
  um,
• 25:14
  I like the stain on the one
• 25:16
  arm should technically be faster.
• 25:18
  But it's also going to like
• 25:19
  blow that grip up.
• 25:20
  So I don't know.
• 25:24
  Yeah,
• 25:24
  that was my next question is we're
• 25:26
  doing them all on one arm.
• 25:29
  How does that change things?
• 25:31
  You start with your weaker arm always.
• 25:35
  I do.
• 25:35
  I do in every workout.
• 25:37
  Under under more fatigue,
• 25:38
  you want to be stronger.
• 25:41
  Yep.
• 25:42
  You can,
• 25:42
  you can switch your arms like
• 25:44
  after you get through the 21.
• 25:45
  Yeah.
• 25:46
  Yeah.
• 25:48
  After you're done at 21,
• 25:48
  if you want to start with the other arm,
• 25:49
  you could.
• 25:54
  I'm a little bit ambidextrous.
• 25:55
  So,
• 25:57
  but my left is just a little bit weaker.
• 25:59
  So I always start left.
• 26:06
  Yeah.
• 26:06
  I usually always start with my right, but.
• 26:08
  I expected burpees in week one,
• 26:10
  but I didn't think this
• 26:11
  combo would come back up
• 26:13
  just because they had just
• 26:14
  recently done that combo of
• 26:16
  like the burpees and the
• 26:18
  dumbbell snatches.
• 26:19
  So I didn't expect this combo, I guess,
• 26:22
  when you said the couplet.
• 26:24
  What about you?
• 26:25
  Did you did you feel the same way, Jamie?
• 26:27
  Yeah.
• 26:27
  I fully expected burpees.
• 26:29
  I've made my members do
• 26:30
  burpees three times in the last six days.
• 26:34
  They were getting mad.
• 26:36
  Um, but I was like,
• 26:37
  we're going to be doing burpees.
• 26:37
  It was jumping of some sort.
• 26:39
  Um, but yeah,
• 26:40
  I did not really expect to
• 26:41
  see the dumbbell snatch again.
• 26:42
  When I,
• 26:43
  when I looked at the cat
• 26:44
  programming and you saw,
• 26:46
  so they had a heavy clean and jerk.
• 26:48
  Cause I received the cat
• 26:49
  programming from my school affiliate, uh,
• 26:52
  you had a heavy clean and jerk.
• 26:53
  Then you have a double dumbbell, um,
• 26:56
  shoulder to overhead today
• 26:57
  or with some shuttle runs.
• 26:59
  And then there's double
• 27:00
  unders at the early week
• 27:01
  and the next day.
• 27:02
  So I'm like, heck yes, no double unders.
• 27:04
  And then a lot of vertical pressing.
• 27:06
  So I'm like, okay,
• 27:06
  there's nothing short overhead.
• 27:09
  And then you saw the last
• 27:10
  couple of workouts,
• 27:11
  but there was missing a
• 27:12
  hinge in that week for cap.
• 27:14
  And I was like, there was no burpees.
• 27:16
  So I, I,
• 27:17
  I figured it was going to be a
• 27:18
  light barbell snatch, like a 20,
• 27:21
  0.1 was my guess.
• 27:23
  Like a light snatch and burpees,
• 27:25
  which I love that one as well.
• 27:28
  So something like that.
• 27:29
  So when this came out, I was like, oh,
• 27:30
  you know what?
• 27:30
  This actually made sense for
• 27:32
  what was programmed on CAP
• 27:35
  in terms of like the
• 27:37
  movements that were there.
• 27:38
  And then if you look at next
• 27:40
  week's CAP program,
• 27:41
  they had burpees the day before,
• 27:43
  which makes sense because
• 27:44
  it's a movement that's
• 27:45
  already going to be used for week one.
• 27:48
  I study that stuff.
• 27:53
  So Coach Krispy Kreme, Jamie's coach,
• 27:57
  hurt himself today.
• 27:58
  Oh, no.
• 27:59
  I'm assuming you just did the workout.
• 28:02
  And I would like a text
• 28:03
  message with your time so I
• 28:04
  know what I mean.
• 28:04
  Hurt physically or emotionally.
• 28:07
  You've got to be more precise there,
• 28:09
  Tristan.
• 28:11
  Or Patrick.
• 28:12
  Is it Tristan or Patrick, his name?
• 28:15
  Tristan.
• 28:15
  Tristan.
• 28:17
  He did the workout.
• 28:18
  Yeah, you better be texting me.
• 28:23
  emotionally okay so we all
• 28:26
  know when a 21 59 it's the
• 28:28
  15 that that gets you is
• 28:32
  there anything you can do
• 28:33
  going into those 15s or do
• 28:37
  you just have to to grunt
• 28:39
  through it I think it's a
• 28:42
  second set of 21 burpees
• 28:45
  that's going to start the workout
• 28:48
  I think the second set of 21
• 28:49
  and the first set of 15s for the burpees,
• 28:51
  like that little chunk
• 28:52
  there is that's going to be the, okay,
• 28:56
  do I can, can I continue at this pace?
• 28:59
  Do I just like,
• 29:00
  that's going to be where
• 29:01
  you're going to be analyzing your,
• 29:05
  your state during the workout.
• 29:08
  And once you get past that first set of 15,
• 29:10
  you see the ending, I think.
• 29:12
  So I think that little chunk
• 29:14
  of second set of 21 burpees,
• 29:15
  15 dumbbell snatchers,
• 29:18
  and then especially the 15 burpees,
• 29:21
  like those three sections together,
• 29:24
  that's sort of it.
• 29:25
  I totally agree.
• 29:27
  Because really when they got to the nines,
• 29:29
  when Jeff and Alex and
• 29:33
  everybody got to the nines,
• 29:34
  like it went fast.
• 29:37
  Yes.
• 29:38
  It was over quick when they hit the nines.
• 29:40
  Right, right.
• 29:41
  And if you looked at their reaction,
• 29:43
  they all kind of had that
• 29:44
  same sentiment that it went
• 29:47
  by very fast at that point.
• 29:48
  And they almost wished that they pushed,
• 29:50
  I think, a little bit more.
• 29:53
  That's what I felt like looking at them.
• 29:55
  Like, I was like, oh, okay.
• 29:59
  Yeah.
• 30:00
  Yeah,
• 30:00
  I'm a little nervous of going out too
• 30:02
  hot.
• 30:03
  I love boobies,
• 30:04
  but there's kind of a lot of them.
• 30:07
  And if you go out too hot in that 21,
• 30:09
  that's, yeah, that's danger zone.
• 30:12
  So you both are going to
• 30:14
  attempt it tomorrow,
• 30:16
  most likely with a repeat
• 30:17
  later in the weekend, or no?
• 30:21
  I'm going to see how I feel
• 30:22
  tomorrow after work.
• 30:23
  Sometimes after a long day of work,
• 30:26
  it's not the best for me.
• 30:27
  So we'll see.
• 30:29
  I would like to do it tomorrow.
• 30:31
  I want to do them all once.
• 30:33
  This is one where I'll look
• 30:35
  at the leaderboard on
• 30:37
  Sunday and see whether
• 30:40
  I want to redo, not for any, like,
• 30:43
  the only way I would redo
• 30:44
  it is if I feel I can get a top score.
• 30:49
  If I don't feel I have that,
• 30:50
  if I already see a bunch of
• 30:51
  numbers that are, like,
• 30:53
  above and I don't feel like
• 30:54
  I have that in me,
• 30:56
  then I'm just going to move
• 30:56
  on because it doesn't, like,
• 30:58
  the open doesn't matter.
• 30:59
  I would only redo if
• 31:02
  something happened or if I
• 31:04
  feel I could win it.
• 31:08
  That makes sense to me.
• 31:09
  Jamie,
• 31:09
  are you doing it tomorrow and then
• 31:11
  team getting together
• 31:12
  Sunday and maybe evening?
• 31:17
  I will be doing it on Sunday
• 31:19
  with the team.
• 31:25
  I'm not going to save my
• 31:26
  attempt for Sunday only
• 31:27
  because I'm going to have
• 31:28
  been on my feet all day
• 31:29
  Saturday and Sunday at the Arnold.
• 31:31
  I don't think that's a good idea.
• 31:32
  I'm going to try my hardest
• 31:33
  tomorrow and then
• 31:36
  I don't know, maybe,
• 31:37
  maybe competing alongside
• 31:39
  them at the team will give
• 31:41
  me a different fire,
• 31:42
  but I have to have an
• 31:43
  attempt at the affiliate.
• 31:45
  So I, I need to go on Sunday and do it.
• 31:49
  So I'll definitely do it.
• 31:50
  I'll definitely do a run
• 31:51
  through on Sunday with everybody.
• 31:52
  Um,
• 31:54
  and and then in like next
• 31:56
  week maybe I will only do
• 31:58
  because I only want to do
• 32:00
  these workouts once like I
• 32:01
  there's just no reason to
• 32:02
  be doing them twice um I
• 32:05
  don't really want it to
• 32:06
  mess with training right
• 32:06
  now but like there's the
• 32:10
  only reason would be
• 32:12
  ego for people like if
• 32:14
  they're not happy with
• 32:14
  their performance and
• 32:15
  they're just like they
• 32:16
  don't want to put or if
• 32:17
  you're going for money like
• 32:18
  that's it yeah if you're if
• 32:19
  you're already in that 25
• 32:21
  like there's right one
• 32:24
  right like but people don't
• 32:26
  want to move on because
• 32:26
  it's like an ego thing that
• 32:28
  you want to like perform better yeah
• 32:30
  But really, do you need to?
• 32:32
  No.
• 32:32
  Can you learn from it?
• 32:33
  Sometimes, yeah,
• 32:34
  for sure you can learn from it.
• 32:35
  I guess it depends on the situation.
• 32:39
  You could also argue
• 32:41
  practicing a redo here
• 32:42
  could practice a redo for quarterfinals.
• 32:46
  If you have to redo stuff
• 32:48
  for quarterfinals,
• 32:49
  it could be a good tester there, I guess.
• 32:52
  But people just want to train, I think,
• 32:55
  through the Open,
• 32:55
  which is the most important thing.
• 32:59
  so I have to do some serious
• 33:00
  soul searching this weekend
• 33:03
  um because 21 50 pound
• 33:06
  dumbbell snatches is very
• 33:07
  doable for me um if I take
• 33:10
  my time um and then a
• 33:13
  couple burpees here and
• 33:14
  there um is probably doable
• 33:16
  for me uh just to keep my
• 33:18
  streak alive for 12 years um
• 33:22
  but I have to be careful to
• 33:24
  not to push too hard and not to,
• 33:29
  to have any setbacks.
• 33:31
  So lots of soul searching this weekend.
• 33:35
  Um, and do I stay in my lane?
• 33:37
  It's what does the streak
• 33:39
  matter at the end of the day?
• 33:41
  Like I've been doing it since 2013.
• 33:43
  A lot of people get injured
• 33:44
  and take a year off.
• 33:46
  Um,
• 33:48
  You know, it is what it is.
• 33:50
  So my next question is,
• 33:52
  who in the field of the
• 33:54
  professionals is going to
• 33:56
  be good at this?
• 33:57
  Colton.
• 34:00
  Colton, Justin, Noah Chandler.
• 34:07
  Scott Tetlow.
• 34:08
  Oh, Tetlow.
• 34:09
  Justin will do well.
• 34:11
  Pat Belner, too.
• 34:17
  Those are my top picks.
• 34:21
  We already know Noah went.
• 34:27
  There's Noah.
• 34:28
  Posted time of 5.51.
• 34:33
  Chandler has 5.49.
• 34:36
  I'm actually shocked that
• 34:38
  Chandler beat Noah.
• 34:40
  Chandler's one of the best
• 34:41
  explosive athletes off the ground.
• 34:44
  Noah's burpees are so fast.
• 34:47
  Chandler's so good at burpees.
• 34:50
  So good.
• 34:53
  I think it was on his story maybe.
• 34:54
  I don't know right here yet.
• 34:59
  I love Wex's comment.
• 35:03
  The gif.
• 35:05
  The gifs on stuff is so funny.
• 35:07
  It cracks me up.
• 35:11
  Even he makes it look like
• 35:12
  it's going to hurt.
• 35:14
  For the elites,
• 35:15
  there's going to be a big bottleneck.
• 35:17
  And that low six high fives,
• 35:22
  it's just all going to be a
• 35:23
  cluster there.
• 35:24
  Like one second is going to be huge.
• 35:27
  And then like, I was just,
• 35:28
  I was just looking at the
• 35:29
  standards and it's a face
• 35:31
  away from the dumbbell.
• 35:31
  Like I, I, cause I saw, I didn't even,
• 35:34
  I missed the beginning of
• 35:35
  the announcement.
• 35:36
  i didn't know you had to
• 35:37
  face away from the dumbbell
• 35:38
  to start and then I saw
• 35:41
  noah I think on his story
• 35:43
  post away and I was like oh
• 35:44
  let me look at the standard
• 35:45
  it's like the first
• 35:45
  sentence like I don't know
• 35:47
  why they even do that they
• 35:50
  didn't start with their
• 35:51
  back to the dumbbell in the
• 35:52
  announcement it says it in
• 35:54
  the rules once again they
• 35:57
  effed up the live announcement
• 35:59
  Did they not start?
• 36:00
  Okay,
• 36:00
  because I didn't know if I just
• 36:02
  missed the beginning
• 36:02
  because I didn't remember
• 36:03
  seeing that from the four that went.
• 36:06
  That's why when I saw Noah
• 36:07
  had his back towards, I was like, huh.
• 36:10
  I was like, I don't remember that.
• 36:11
  I was like,
• 36:12
  maybe I missed the beginning
• 36:13
  because I was chatting.
• 36:17
  So they messed that up then.
• 36:19
  I just want to know how I
• 36:20
  get to surgery to take my
• 36:22
  head and put on that body.
• 36:25
  That's all I'm looking for.
• 36:29
  Oh, so that's why,
• 36:29
  so that's why Justin or that's why, um,
• 36:33
  Adler has six 13 and not six 10.
• 36:37
  That makes sense because I
• 36:38
  was wondering why six 13
• 36:40
  was written on the
• 36:41
  leaderboard when I remember him, uh,
• 36:45
  doing six 10.
• 36:45
  So there must be a three
• 36:46
  second penalty for the false start.
• 36:48
  Wow.
• 36:49
  Oh,
• 36:54
  okay so don't get it
• 36:56
  together make sure you face
• 36:58
  away from your dumbbell to
• 36:59
  start when you do it yeah
• 37:03
  I'll make sure because I
• 37:05
  want I want to make sure my
• 37:06
  it's good for uh
• 37:08
  quarterfinals they write
• 37:12
  the darn standards how do
• 37:13
  they not get it right hold
• 37:15
  on for the females emma
• 37:17
  mcquade I'm gonna throw it
• 37:18
  out there if you look at
• 37:20
  any of the burpee workouts
• 37:21
  that I've posted the last
• 37:22
  few years she's always up there
• 37:25
  Was Emma the one who won or
• 37:27
  was very top of the.
• 37:29
  She won 20.1.
• 37:31
  Yeah.
• 37:31
  Okay.
• 37:32
  The snatches and burpees crushed.
• 37:33
  She crushed that workout.
• 37:35
  She does well on every burpee workout.
• 37:37
  Yeah.
• 37:41
  Ariel's pretty good too.
• 37:42
  Ariel does well.
• 37:42
  Yeah.
• 37:44
  Emma Lawson.
• 37:46
  Emma Lawson.
• 37:47
  Yep.
• 37:50
  uh what so you know hayley's
• 37:52
  coming back do you think
• 37:53
  this is a good one for her
• 37:54
  to start with I do I do
• 37:55
  think that's a very good
• 37:56
  one of course yeah people
• 38:01
  that just like suffer like
• 38:03
  just go like there's a like
• 38:06
  if you look at the
• 38:07
  leaderboard last few years
• 38:08
  of every burpee workout
• 38:09
  like there's a few of us
• 38:10
  that are just always there
• 38:11
  just it's the same group
• 38:14
  one day I want to say just a
• 38:15
  few of us will be.
• 38:17
  It's just, it's literally the same.
• 38:22
  Like if Emma Carey was there,
• 38:23
  she would win.
• 38:25
  It's just us three, Scott.
• 38:27
  These three.
• 38:30
  Emma Carey would crush this workout.
• 38:33
  That girl would suffer.
• 38:35
  That girl has just like if I
• 38:38
  think of a female athlete
• 38:39
  that just can suffer,
• 38:41
  it's like Emma Carey is just damn.
• 38:43
  Let's just talk about this.
• 38:46
  We're going to talk about
• 38:47
  this too right now because
• 38:48
  the next thing is to recap
• 38:50
  the announcement.
• 38:52
  It was the first year of the
• 38:53
  Golden Barbell.
• 38:56
  No real like announcement as
• 38:58
  to what that was.
• 39:03
  And it wasn't until I talked
• 39:04
  to Ariel yesterday in the
• 39:05
  interview that we got,
• 39:07
  that she told me a little
• 39:08
  bit more about it.
• 39:09
  And I kind of understood it.
• 39:11
  So what they did is,
• 39:12
  so the winner of the open
• 39:14
  announcement will get a golden barbell.
• 39:16
  Jeff Adler held it at the end.
• 39:18
  Apparently it's a 35 pound barbell.
• 39:23
  So he's super excited about that.
• 39:26
  Um, and you, they added two workouts to it,
• 39:30
  to the open announcement,
• 39:32
  went live on Instagram
• 39:34
  yesterday with no preface
• 39:36
  as to what it was.
• 39:37
  People got all confused,
• 39:40
  thought it was the announcement,
• 39:41
  thought they missed it.
• 39:43
  And it was just workout one, which was, um,
• 39:51
  nasty girls.
• 39:53
  so cool you get four elite
• 39:55
  athletes to go back and do
• 39:57
  this legendary workout in a
• 39:59
  very similar style to what
• 40:01
  was done back in nasty
• 40:02
  girls but it wasn't promoted
• 40:05
  Nope.
• 40:06
  It wasn't promoted.
• 40:08
  Then you come in today to
• 40:10
  the announcement.
• 40:12
  They recap that one.
• 40:14
  And then they announce the athletes.
• 40:16
  They run out on the floor
• 40:18
  like it's the announcement.
• 40:20
  And they do 11.3.
• 40:26
  And made a mockery of this
• 40:29
  competition by all agreeing
• 40:31
  to do it one on every 10 seconds.
• 40:34
  Mm-hmm.
• 40:35
  So they all finished with
• 40:36
  the exact same score.
• 40:39
  And that way they were still
• 40:40
  rested to do the open announcement,
• 40:42
  which I don't blame the athletes later,
• 40:46
  which I don't blame the
• 40:47
  athletes for coming to that
• 40:48
  agreement because you want
• 40:51
  to do well in your open announcement.
• 40:55
  I mean,
• 40:56
  I understand that the open doesn't matter,
• 40:59
  but open announcements are
• 41:00
  a special thing.
• 41:02
  Like when you get asked to do one,
• 41:03
  it means something, right?
• 41:06
  It didn't make the athletes look good,
• 41:08
  though.
• 41:08
  I'm not going to lie.
• 41:09
  No, it did not.
• 41:11
  It didn't make CrossFit look good,
• 41:12
  and it didn't make the
• 41:13
  athletes look good.
• 41:14
  I'm going to side with the
• 41:15
  athletes on this.
• 41:17
  Yes.
• 41:18
  They were pulled into this
• 41:20
  thing and not really told much about it.
• 41:25
  And I think the setup wasn't
• 41:26
  great for them.
• 41:29
  definitely not 20 or 30
• 41:30
  minutes before they do like
• 41:32
  their open workout,
• 41:33
  which is actually counting
• 41:34
  for the leaderboard.
• 41:35
  And, and like Jeff wins the open often.
• 41:38
  And like Kazan's a top athlete in the open,
• 41:40
  Alexis Raptus, Brent,
• 41:42
  I wouldn't say normally is
• 41:43
  a top five athlete in the open,
• 41:45
  like typically, but like those,
• 41:48
  those athletes are,
• 41:49
  can do well in the open and
• 41:50
  get $15,000 if they win the, like,
• 41:52
  you know,
• 41:54
  Like you want them to be
• 41:55
  able to do their workouts
• 41:56
  at a hundred percent,
• 41:57
  not tired from doing like that workout,
• 41:59
  the five minutes, if they went out hard,
• 42:01
  like what CrossFit wants them,
• 42:04
  they're not ready to do the
• 42:05
  next workout 20 minutes
• 42:06
  later with the right intensity.
• 42:09
  I don't think that's fair to the athletes.
• 42:12
  I agree.
• 42:14
  And so,
• 42:15
  so then even when that was going on,
• 42:17
  people thought, is this the announcement?
• 42:20
  This is what we're all doing.
• 42:22
  No, it's not what you're doing.
• 42:24
  It's just this other thing.
• 42:26
  And then they finally make
• 42:27
  the announcement.
• 42:28
  Now we're learning.
• 42:29
  They didn't even follow the
• 42:31
  standards in the open
• 42:33
  announcement that everybody
• 42:35
  else is supposed to follow.
• 42:38
  It's just, it's crazy.
• 42:40
  So.
• 42:42
  This was supposed to be
• 42:44
  getting back to the fun of the open,
• 42:46
  getting back to all that stuff,
• 42:49
  and all this surrounding
• 42:50
  fluff that wasn't explained
• 42:54
  gave it a big black eye, in my opinion.
• 42:58
  And you have 70,000 to
• 43:00
  100,000 people watching on the stream,
• 43:03
  and that's what you gave them.
• 43:05
  As soon as there was
• 43:06
  commercials and stuff?
• 43:07
  Yeah.
• 43:09
  The viewing went from, I think,
• 43:12
  110,000 to 70,000 right away.
• 43:14
  Because they kept putting
• 43:15
  commercials in the pre-show?
• 43:18
  Right in the middle of the week.
• 43:21
  There was a workout.
• 43:24
  Yeah,
• 43:24
  there was a commercial in the middle
• 43:25
  of that five-minute AMRAP.
• 43:28
  I was like, it's a five-minute AMRAP.
• 43:32
  Get through it.
• 43:32
  That was awful.
• 43:37
  yeah I don't know who was in
• 43:39
  charge of that but um they
• 43:42
  need to get a sternly
• 43:44
  written memo yeah I I'm
• 43:48
  very curious when they
• 43:50
  asked these four athletes
• 43:51
  to participate exactly what
• 43:54
  was asked of them like how
• 43:57
  clear they were of we're
• 43:59
  adding in three extra
• 44:00
  workout or two extra workouts
• 44:03
  um because I feel like if
• 44:04
  you were told exactly what
• 44:07
  was going on and you were
• 44:09
  and you were someone like
• 44:10
  jeff or somebody who like
• 44:11
  kind of maybe still wants
• 44:12
  to win the open maybe you
• 44:13
  should have said no and
• 44:16
  found different athletes or
• 44:18
  I just feel like this I
• 44:19
  like the golden barbell I
• 44:21
  like now that they've
• 44:21
  explained the community one
• 44:23
  how it's getting voted on
• 44:24
  or whatever like I think
• 44:26
  they should have just had that and
• 44:28
  like I've said, like get other,
• 44:30
  get people that were from
• 44:31
  the affiliate out there to
• 44:32
  do a different workout beforehand.
• 44:35
  Show other people working out.
• 44:36
  Like we don't need to see
• 44:38
  them try to trash
• 44:39
  themselves before a workout
• 44:41
  and before the actual
• 44:42
  workout announcement.
• 44:43
  Like I don't, I didn't even understand it.
• 44:48
  So I'm, I'm the last person that is like,
• 44:52
  Hey,
• 44:52
  I want to do it like we did it back
• 44:53
  in the day.
• 44:55
  but the workout was over.
• 44:57
  Jeff was interviewed and the
• 44:58
  broadcast was done.
• 45:00
  Yeah, I know.
• 45:01
  Like where is the post
• 45:03
  interview with all the athletes?
• 45:05
  Where is interviewing Castro?
• 45:08
  Where is, um,
• 45:10
  some other people doing the
• 45:11
  workout to show us like the
• 45:13
  different versions or the different,
• 45:15
  like all that went away.
• 45:17
  Yep.
• 45:20
  And you're already up and running it.
• 45:21
  That would be no more cost.
• 45:24
  Nope.
• 45:25
  Yeah, like have like six chairs with Boz,
• 45:28
  Dave, the four athletes.
• 45:30
  How did they come up with the workouts?
• 45:31
  How did they feel?
• 45:32
  What was like just bouncing stuff?
• 45:34
  Like they used to always do that.
• 45:35
  Take questions live from YouTube, you know,
• 45:38
  to get that engagement.
• 45:40
  Like none of that was done,
• 45:42
  and it was very frustrating.
• 45:44
  I agree.
• 45:47
  Because all this stuff beforehand,
• 45:48
  because it wasn't explained well,
• 45:50
  made no sense.
• 45:50
  No sense.
• 45:52
  So then you cut it short at
• 45:53
  the end and I just, I felt like,
• 45:57
  I felt very let down.
• 45:59
  Yeah.
• 46:00
  You know,
• 46:00
  what would have been cool would
• 46:02
  have been to like talk to
• 46:04
  Castro or even the athletes afterwards,
• 46:07
  but do that barbell workout
• 46:09
  20 minutes after 10 minutes
• 46:11
  after something.
• 46:13
  and see and because then I
• 46:15
  actually think some of them
• 46:16
  like a few of them may have
• 46:17
  like pushed and seen how
• 46:18
  fast they could go um it's
• 46:21
  definitely probably
• 46:22
  wouldn't have been the
• 46:22
  fastest right like they
• 46:23
  wouldn't have been
• 46:24
  competing with ronin's
• 46:25
  numbers but because they've
• 46:26
  just probably killed
• 46:27
  themselves doing burpees
• 46:28
  and snatches but they're
• 46:30
  all I think that would have
• 46:30
  been cool yeah what
• 46:34
  They're all in the same situation.
• 46:35
  Yeah, they may not hit an all-time PR,
• 46:38
  but they're all in the same
• 46:39
  boat at that point.
• 46:41
  I don't think they should
• 46:42
  even pick workouts that are
• 46:44
  open or girl workouts or
• 46:47
  stuff that people already
• 46:48
  know the scores and what's
• 46:49
  a good score because right
• 46:51
  away they're measured
• 46:51
  against that and it's like,
• 46:54
  pick a new workout that's
• 46:56
  unrelated that the
• 46:57
  community can try after or something.
• 46:59
  Yeah.
• 47:00
  Cause I think if you give
• 47:01
  them like an open workout, you,
• 47:02
  you're already putting, you know,
• 47:04
  Rich Froning won this
• 47:05
  workout and he had 90 reps
• 47:07
  or whatever it was.
• 47:09
  And then you go and they do
• 47:10
  30 and you're like, Oh yeah.
• 47:14
  Well, yeah.
• 47:15
  Yeah.
• 47:17
  Yeah.
• 47:17
  It was embarrassing.
• 47:19
  All right.
• 47:20
  So let's move on from that.
• 47:21
  And hopefully they learn
• 47:23
  from this and do better next week.
• 47:26
  Um,
• 47:29
  The one other thing from the
• 47:30
  broadcast I want to talk about is,
• 47:31
  and I hate ripping on broadcasters,
• 47:35
  but they acted like Jeff
• 47:38
  Adler didn't win the games last year.
• 47:42
  Like, that dude is fit.
• 47:46
  He is not just the barbell guy anymore.
• 47:50
  And to be shocked that he
• 47:53
  was good at burpees and
• 47:54
  snatches is just...
• 47:57
  Really kind of pissed me off,
• 47:58
  I'll be honest.
• 47:59
  Hasn't he won the Open twice?
• 48:02
  I know he won it last year.
• 48:03
  I think he's won it twice, him or Pat.
• 48:07
  Maybe I'm getting them confused.
• 48:08
  I'm pretty sure he's won it
• 48:09
  twice at least.
• 48:10
  And I know people think I'm
• 48:12
  the biggest Adler apologist,
• 48:14
  but that guy won the games
• 48:16
  last year legit.
• 48:18
  Agreed.
• 48:20
  And to act like he didn't,
• 48:24
  really was, was pissing me off today.
• 48:28
  And he just is not getting
• 48:30
  the respect that other,
• 48:32
  like Justin wins at one
• 48:33
  time and people were acting
• 48:35
  like he's going to run away
• 48:36
  with it for the next 10 years.
• 48:38
  Jeff wins it.
• 48:39
  And he's look at all the polls,
• 48:42
  like his highest rankings, like third.
• 48:47
  I've never been so like
• 48:49
  hopeful for someone to win again.
• 48:54
  as I am for him.
• 48:56
  So that mini riff is done.
• 49:01
  And then I have on here
• 49:04
  should masters adaptive and
• 49:05
  teens host their own announcements,
• 49:08
  which I know legends did one tonight.
• 49:13
  Did they?
• 49:14
  Where was that advertised?
• 49:17
  It was on YouTube,
• 49:18
  or maybe it's just on Instagram.
• 49:21
  Casey Johnson was going to
• 49:23
  do the workout live,
• 49:25
  and Legends was doing that.
• 49:29
  I think the teens are doing
• 49:30
  something this weekend.
• 49:34
  I don't know how organized it is,
• 49:36
  but I think they are doing
• 49:39
  something this weekend.
• 49:41
  And then the wheel wad is
• 49:42
  doing something as well.
• 49:43
  Yes, I saw a wheel wad.
• 49:45
  Yeah, I saw the wheel wad one.
• 49:47
  So I think it was late to
• 49:49
  the game and late to
• 49:50
  announcing that they were doing it.
• 49:52
  And I think there's been a
• 49:54
  call this week that they all should.
• 49:57
  And they jumped on as
• 49:58
  quickly as they could after.
• 50:00
  But it was a little bit last minute.
• 50:04
  So I'm anxious to see what
• 50:06
  next week looks like.
• 50:08
  And hopefully they'll show
• 50:10
  some more stuff.
• 50:13
  But until then,
• 50:13
  we're going to try to show
• 50:15
  some people doing it this Sunday.
• 50:17
  Okay.
• 50:20
  Right?
• 50:21
  That's fine.
• 50:22
  We can do that.
• 50:23
  An 18-year-old, a 67-year-old,
• 50:27
  and a 40-year-old for sure.
• 50:29
  I don't think Jim will be there.
• 50:31
  Okay.
• 50:32
  No Jim.
• 50:34
  But we do have another Masters athlete.
• 50:36
  And...
• 50:40
  Oh, and a former team games athlete,
• 50:43
  but he's in his early 20s now.
• 50:45
  Yeah.
• 50:48
  So.
• 50:53
  So the Masters had just a
• 50:55
  single person doing the workout?
• 50:58
  Just one person?
• 50:59
  Just one person.
• 51:01
  That's very strange.
• 51:04
  Yeah.
• 51:05
  So Kenneth is reporting that
• 51:06
  Colton West is mom today.
• 51:08
  What?
• 51:09
  Yeah,
• 51:09
  he did a little post on his Instagram.
• 51:13
  I saw that earlier.
• 51:15
  So we don't even know if
• 51:17
  this kid affected his
• 51:18
  season and he's competing.
• 51:21
  No.
• 51:22
  Wow.
• 51:23
  That's terrible.
• 51:25
  Yeah.
• 51:28
  Prayers out to Colton and his family,
• 51:30
  for sure.
• 51:30
  That's really sad.
• 51:35
  Um, Kenneth is asking where the,
• 51:37
  the ages video is.
• 51:39
  Uh, we'll do it Sunday.
• 51:43
  Yeah.
• 51:44
  Basically, uh, it's spring break.
• 51:46
  So Haley is not here this week.
• 51:49
  Um, I had a video of Jim and I, um,
• 51:53
  that I thought about doing, but yeah,
• 51:56
  we'll, we'll make it the open workout.
• 51:58
  Yep.
• 52:01
  Okay, and Heat One app.
• 52:05
  How did your picks go today?
• 52:08
  I have no idea.
• 52:11
  I got to go open it up.
• 52:13
  Yeah, I haven't even looked.
• 52:14
  I didn't do it.
• 52:16
  Carolyn.
• 52:17
  I know.
• 52:18
  I did it at the games, though.
• 52:23
  But I also knew the workouts.
• 52:24
  I knew how to pick them.
• 52:27
  Yeah, you had some inside knowledge.
• 52:32
  So I picked Adler and Raptors.
• 52:35
  I did too.
• 52:36
  So you're two for two.
• 52:37
  Yeah.
• 52:39
  Nice.
• 52:40
  Of course.
• 52:42
  Were those the only picks
• 52:43
  that you could pick for this?
• 52:45
  No, there's a lot of picks,
• 52:46
  but we don't know the results yet.
• 52:48
  Okay.
• 52:50
  It looks like they're all Friday.
• 52:53
  We have an underdogs matchup tomorrow.
• 52:56
  And then the brackets for
• 52:57
  the weekend are Jay Crouch
• 53:00
  versus Jeff Adler.
• 53:01
  Brent Fikowski versus Roman Krinikov.
• 53:04
  Dallin Pepper versus Ricky Garrard.
• 53:06
  Yona Koski versus Pat Vellner.
• 53:08
  And then on the women's side,
• 53:09
  Daniel Brandon slotted in
• 53:11
  for Emma Carey against Laura Horvat.
• 53:15
  Gabby Magawa versus Emma Lawson.
• 53:18
  Alex Kazan versus Ariel Lohan.
• 53:20
  That's a tough matchup.
• 53:22
  I think Magawa and Lawson.
• 53:24
  Alexis Raptus and Tia Toomey.
• 53:28
  It'll be interesting to see
• 53:29
  how Tia's wrist is because
• 53:30
  she was saying she was
• 53:31
  struggling doing push-ups
• 53:32
  the other day and there's pushing off.
• 53:35
  I might need to change my
• 53:38
  pick on that one.
• 53:42
  Yeah.
• 53:44
  So I already didn't pick Tia
• 53:46
  because I don't think the
• 53:47
  open matters and it's an open workout.
• 53:51
  And if she's going to be beat,
• 53:53
  this is an easy place to do it.
• 53:56
  But I do want to talk to that.
• 53:57
  Last week I said,
• 53:58
  I don't think Tia's winning the games.
• 54:00
  I have picked Emma Lawson to
• 54:01
  win the games this year already.
• 54:05
  And this wrist injury just
• 54:07
  shows you what can happen in a season.
• 54:10
  So those people that are like,
• 54:12
  if you're picking Emma Lawson,
• 54:13
  you need to be thrown out of the pole.
• 54:16
  No, because it's sport.
• 54:19
  Injuries happen.
• 54:21
  Like anything can happen.
• 54:23
  And I was reminded watching
• 54:25
  behind the scenes this week,
• 54:27
  Emma Lawson had the
• 54:28
  leader's jersey on going
• 54:30
  into the last event.
• 54:33
  It wasn't until the event
• 54:35
  before the last event that
• 54:36
  Laura overtook her.
• 54:37
  Right.
• 54:39
  And if you think Laura has a
• 54:41
  shot and Emma was that close to Laura,
• 54:43
  then you're not that far off.
• 54:46
  And Emma is so young,
• 54:48
  she can make huge gains in her weakness.
• 54:52
  weaknesses where Tia is who she is.
• 55:00
  Yeah.
• 55:00
  I mean,
• 55:00
  if she's going to continue with
• 55:03
  this injury,
• 55:04
  like there's a definite shot.
• 55:10
  Yeah.
• 55:10
  Jody, I think it's confirmed.
• 55:16
  Sorry about that.
• 55:17
  I got all ramped up.
• 55:21
  You're a little verklempt.
• 55:23
  I think Jamie,
• 55:24
  you had picked Emma last
• 55:25
  year going in for the games.
• 55:27
  And I was like, no, you're not crazy.
• 55:29
  I was like, Emma's good.
• 55:31
  Like she can win.
• 55:32
  And remember we had this, this,
• 55:34
  like I was in the chat and I was like, no,
• 55:35
  no, no.
• 55:36
  Emma's, Emma's going to be up there.
• 55:38
  And sure enough, she was,
• 55:41
  she's got it all.
• 55:43
  She does.
• 55:43
  I,
• 55:44
  I just don't think Tia is beatable
• 55:47
  unless she's beatable.
• 55:48
  Like she beats herself.
• 55:49
  Like if she has an injury or
• 55:50
  something like this.
• 55:51
  So like if this continues on
• 55:53
  and she's unable to, I mean,
• 55:56
  I'm very curious to see how
• 55:57
  she performs on these burpees.
• 56:00
  So yeah, she could take herself out of it.
• 56:04
  She's two years older.
• 56:08
  Yeah, it doesn't matter.
• 56:09
  That doesn't matter.
• 56:10
  She still beat 99% of people
• 56:14
  seven months pregnant or
• 56:15
  whatever she was last year.
• 56:17
  Exactly.
• 56:18
  I think she beat me in like
• 56:19
  two or three of the open
• 56:20
  workouts and I was like, damn.
• 56:22
  Yeah.
• 56:25
  Yep.
• 56:25
  She's still so good.
• 56:27
  She's so far away from
• 56:29
  everyone that it's just... So...
• 56:36
  okay we've finished pretty
• 56:37
  much the open we've beat
• 56:39
  that horse yep emma carrie
• 56:42
  kenneth I hate when kenneth
• 56:44
  tries to do my agenda for
• 56:46
  me it's on the agenda
• 56:47
  kenneth we're not missing
• 56:49
  it there give kenneth
• 56:51
  access to the notes okay
• 56:52
  give him access to the
• 56:53
  notes he's got some topics
• 56:55
  he's gonna lay it down for us
• 56:57
  Um,
• 56:58
  she announced today that she is sitting
• 57:00
  out the 2024 season, um,
• 57:03
  because she wants to
• 57:05
  prioritize her faith.
• 57:09
  If you watch the mayhem half
• 57:11
  athlete podcast with her,
• 57:14
  you kind of saw this coming.
• 57:16
  I kind of saw this coming.
• 57:17
  I shouldn't say you should.
• 57:20
  What she was saying was a
• 57:22
  lot of the same things.
• 57:25
  that I heard from Olivia
• 57:26
  Sulik when I was talking to
• 57:28
  her about her faith and why
• 57:30
  she made the decision to
• 57:32
  leave CrossFit and go all
• 57:35
  in with that priority.
• 57:37
  Okay.
• 57:39
  And so, and they were roommates.
• 57:43
  Okay.
• 57:45
  And they both, Dom was there,
• 57:49
  both of their kind of counselors in this
• 57:55
  in this discovery.
• 57:57
  So the one thing that,
• 58:00
  that is different between
• 58:01
  Olivia and Emma is Emma was like,
• 58:03
  I am coming back.
• 58:05
  I just have to prioritize things first.
• 58:11
  Um, so I think that's, I,
• 58:16
  very proud of that decision
• 58:17
  is very adult decision that she's making,
• 58:19
  um, to do that.
• 58:20
  And if that's what she
• 58:21
  believes and her faith is
• 58:24
  telling her to do that,
• 58:25
  I think that she needs to take that step,
• 58:27
  take a year off,
• 58:30
  get herself where she needs to be,
• 58:32
  and then, um,
• 58:33
  come back and use her gifts
• 58:36
  to glorify God in that way.
• 58:39
  Yes.
• 58:40
  Beck, we are talking about Emma Carey.
• 58:46
  so lex thrown out there she
• 58:49
  thinks it may be more than
• 58:50
  just that maybe a back
• 58:51
  injury I don't know go
• 58:54
  listen to that mayhem
• 58:56
  podcast like the writing
• 58:58
  was on the wall I haven't
• 59:01
  listened to that podcast so
• 59:03
  I haven't I caught none of
• 59:04
  that especially um
• 59:06
  especially the last 20
• 59:08
  minutes I sort of thought
• 59:12
  that was kind of why she
• 59:13
  was going to mayhem
• 59:15
  to be in that environment.
• 59:17
  I think so.
• 59:20
  I think she talks about in
• 59:22
  the Mayhem podcast about
• 59:24
  how she always talked about
• 59:25
  how God was important to her,
• 59:27
  but she didn't feel like
• 59:29
  she was living that out.
• 59:32
  That as much as she was saying that,
• 59:34
  CrossFit was still the main
• 59:36
  thing in her life.
• 59:41
  I think she has to remove that
• 59:45
  for that idol that she has
• 59:49
  that temptation to get right with God.
• 59:53
  And then once she's right with God,
• 59:55
  then she can prioritize
• 59:57
  what the rest of that is.
• 59:59
  And if you're going through that journey,
• 1:00:01
  Cookville is probably the
• 1:00:02
  right place to be because,
• 1:00:07
  because Rich did discover a
• 1:00:09
  balance that he could
• 1:00:11
  glorify God and compete.
• 1:00:15
  There are people around her
• 1:00:16
  that have done it.
• 1:00:20
  So...
• 1:00:25
  With Mayhem,
• 1:00:25
  you don't know when the
• 1:00:26
  interview occurred because
• 1:00:28
  they do everything tape
• 1:00:29
  delay and it comes out
• 1:00:30
  weeks after the fact.
• 1:00:34
  But again,
• 1:00:35
  a lot of things she was saying
• 1:00:37
  were the same things Olivia
• 1:00:39
  said before she stepped
• 1:00:40
  away from the sport.
• 1:00:42
  And again, they're best friends.
• 1:00:44
  They were roommates in Naples.
• 1:00:48
  So it didn't surprise me.
• 1:00:50
  But I do wish her well.
• 1:00:54
  Like it surprised me in
• 1:00:55
  terms of how much I,
• 1:00:57
  from an outsider perspective,
• 1:00:59
  I know that Emma loves CrossFit so much.
• 1:01:02
  So it's like,
• 1:01:03
  it's so surprising that like
• 1:01:05
  to see her at the top of her game,
• 1:01:07
  really.
• 1:01:08
  She could have podiumed last
• 1:01:09
  year if she didn't mess up on the bike,
• 1:01:11
  really.
• 1:01:11
  She messed up there.
• 1:01:12
  And then she just kind of
• 1:01:14
  had a poor strategy on the
• 1:01:15
  rope climb because she was
• 1:01:16
  like top three before she
• 1:01:18
  missed that rope.
• 1:01:19
  Like you take those two and
• 1:01:20
  she's literally on the podium.
• 1:01:22
  She's at the top of her game,
• 1:01:23
  so I didn't expect her to, I guess,
• 1:01:26
  make this decision.
• 1:01:27
  But I also know how much she is religious.
• 1:01:32
  So I can't relate to what
• 1:01:37
  she's feeling at all.
• 1:01:39
  So whatever she needs to do, I guess.
• 1:01:45
  It was so, it was just surprising to me.
• 1:01:46
  Cause I I'm like, well, can't you like,
• 1:01:49
  I just don't understand it
• 1:01:50
  because I don't,
• 1:01:52
  I don't have the same faith, I guess.
• 1:01:55
  Right.
• 1:01:55
  I would say you probably agree with Lex.
• 1:01:59
  So I do have the same faith
• 1:02:03
  she does and I do understand it.
• 1:02:05
  And I, and it's, it's hard for,
• 1:02:07
  I think for people who
• 1:02:09
  don't have the same belief
• 1:02:11
  system to understand that
• 1:02:13
  you love so much, something so much,
• 1:02:15
  you have to take a step
• 1:02:17
  back from it to put it in
• 1:02:19
  the right perspective in your life.
• 1:02:26
  if that makes sense.
• 1:02:29
  I understand her perspective.
• 1:02:33
  It became like CrossFit was number one,
• 1:02:34
  and she doesn't want
• 1:02:35
  CrossFit to be number one.
• 1:02:36
  She wants God to be number one,
• 1:02:38
  and she wants to realign
• 1:02:39
  those priorities.
• 1:02:42
  I understand what she's saying.
• 1:02:43
  I'm just saying I personally can't relate,
• 1:02:45
  but I respect that that's
• 1:02:48
  where she needs to go.
• 1:02:51
  I hope that she's able to
• 1:02:53
  come back if that's
• 1:02:55
  in the plans I guess I
• 1:02:57
  should say um because she
• 1:02:59
  is a great athlete but
• 1:03:00
  again if she doesn't come
• 1:03:01
  back and she has other
• 1:03:04
  aspirations or other things
• 1:03:05
  that she'll do and I'm sure
• 1:03:08
  she'll excel at anything
• 1:03:09
  she does right so one in
• 1:03:13
  her post she said she
• 1:03:14
  wanted god to be the
• 1:03:15
  ultimate like she doesn't
• 1:03:17
  even say number one she's like ultimate
• 1:03:19
  which I think expresses it
• 1:03:21
  even more than number one.
• 1:03:23
  In the interview with Mayhem,
• 1:03:25
  and we talked about this
• 1:03:26
  with Ariel yesterday, or I did,
• 1:03:29
  she talks about how Ariel
• 1:03:31
  was so kind to her at the Granite Games,
• 1:03:34
  and she couldn't understand that,
• 1:03:37
  that she was actually
• 1:03:38
  intimidated by Ariel's kindness.
• 1:03:41
  And as she's grown older,
• 1:03:43
  she actually now wants to
• 1:03:46
  be like Ariel again.
• 1:03:48
  in her faith because she
• 1:03:50
  doesn't think she's
• 1:03:51
  following the path as much
• 1:03:54
  and I talked to that with
• 1:03:55
  ariel and it got her
• 1:03:57
  perspective which was
• 1:03:58
  really cool so if you
• 1:04:00
  didn't see that that that
• 1:04:01
  was at the end of the
• 1:04:02
  interview yesterday but yet
• 1:04:05
  all ariel was saying was
• 1:04:07
  they were tied for first
• 1:04:08
  going into the last event
• 1:04:09
  at granite games
• 1:04:10
  And Ariel said, you've got this.
• 1:04:12
  Go out there.
• 1:04:13
  Kill it.
• 1:04:14
  And Emma couldn't understand
• 1:04:16
  why another competitor
• 1:04:17
  would be wishing her well.
• 1:04:21
  That's just like good human being shit.
• 1:04:25
  Seems like an Ariel thing.
• 1:04:27
  Yeah, I mean,
• 1:04:27
  that totally seems like an Ariel thing,
• 1:04:29
  but it also seems like a
• 1:04:30
  good human thing.
• 1:04:31
  Is every elite athlete at
• 1:04:34
  the Games a major raging bitch?
• 1:04:39
  Okay, I'm confused.
• 1:04:41
  No, not at all.
• 1:04:42
  I've only had good
• 1:04:43
  interactions with people.
• 1:04:45
  I've had more interactions
• 1:04:46
  with certain people than others,
• 1:04:47
  but they've all been good.
• 1:04:50
  Emma is a silent killer,
• 1:04:52
  and so she just... Yes, I get it.
• 1:04:55
  She is very tunnel-visioned
• 1:04:57
  in what she wants to accomplish.
• 1:05:00
  And with that tunnel vision,
• 1:05:01
  she was keeping God out.
• 1:05:03
  Yes.
• 1:05:04
  Even though she was saying
• 1:05:05
  she was keeping him in.
• 1:05:08
  Yeah.
• 1:05:10
  So...
• 1:05:12
  But the bigger umbrella
• 1:05:14
  issue with this is this is
• 1:05:16
  now seven games athletes
• 1:05:19
  that have announced that
• 1:05:20
  they're not competing in
• 1:05:22
  the individual division this year.
• 1:05:23
  Females.
• 1:05:26
  Females, yes.
• 1:05:28
  So Emma announced today,
• 1:05:30
  Kelly Baker to start a family,
• 1:05:32
  Christine Kohlenbrander due
• 1:05:33
  to a back injury, Jamie Simmons team,
• 1:05:36
  Mathilde Garnes team,
• 1:05:39
  Annie Thor's daughter pregnant,
• 1:05:41
  and Emily DeRoy team.
• 1:05:46
  Seven.
• 1:05:47
  So those are seven slots out
• 1:05:49
  of 40 that are now available this year.
• 1:05:56
  Carolyn, your thoughts.
• 1:05:59
  There's a big turnaround every year.
• 1:06:01
  This is, this is what happens every year.
• 1:06:02
  Like whether it's injuries or not,
• 1:06:04
  there's new faces that are
• 1:06:05
  going to come and take those spots,
• 1:06:07
  whether they're there.
• 1:06:09
  Like, it's just, this happens.
• 1:06:11
  I feel like every year.
• 1:06:12
  As an athlete who just missed last year,
• 1:06:17
  do you look at this as more
• 1:06:18
  opportunity for you?
• 1:06:20
  Of course.
• 1:06:20
  I'm not going to lie,
• 1:06:23
  but you have to look who's in the East.
• 1:06:25
  Who's in the West.
• 1:06:26
  Two in the West are out.
• 1:06:27
  Does that leave a place in the East?
• 1:06:28
  Haley comes back to the East.
• 1:06:29
  Does that give us a spot?
• 1:06:30
  Like it depends on the spots
• 1:06:33
  that are allocated, of course,
• 1:06:35
  where people are from.
• 1:06:36
  And we go from there.
• 1:06:38
  Once we find out how many
• 1:06:39
  spots and it's like, okay, that,
• 1:06:41
  that number is not changing.
• 1:06:42
  It's how can you get yourself in within,
• 1:06:45
  you know, 12 spots or 11,
• 1:06:48
  whatever it's going to be.
• 1:06:49
  I'm still not counting out
• 1:06:52
  the quarterfinals.
• 1:06:53
  Like that's,
• 1:06:54
  there's making top 40 is yeah.
• 1:06:59
  You can't have a bad workout.
• 1:07:01
  Cannot have a bad workout.
• 1:07:04
  And I've had some before.
• 1:07:05
  So with a single movement, so we'll see.
• 1:07:10
  So Kenneth, the,
• 1:07:12
  the issue with that of just
• 1:07:14
  naming names is these are
• 1:07:15
  all over the world.
• 1:07:17
  Um, and in Europe,
• 1:07:19
  Emily and Jamie in Australia,
• 1:07:22
  Matilde Europe, um,
• 1:07:24
  Christine Colin Brander West,
• 1:07:25
  Kelly Baker West, and Emma Carey East.
• 1:07:28
  It's a it they're splattered
• 1:07:30
  all over the world.
• 1:07:32
  And yeah,
• 1:07:33
  and three of those are that he
• 1:07:35
  named our West and to our east,
• 1:07:38
  and you have to coming back to the east.
• 1:07:41
  So it's almost like there's no more spots.
• 1:07:42
  There's no benefit to the east.
• 1:07:45
  There's not many spots in
• 1:07:47
  Europe and the east and
• 1:07:49
  stuff like it's just not many spots.
• 1:07:52
  Yeah,
• 1:07:53
  I think the biggest mistake that
• 1:07:55
  CrossFit has made in this
• 1:07:57
  rule change is we're the 40 at the U.S.
• 1:08:01
  and Europe regions.
• 1:08:03
  I don't like that at all.
• 1:08:05
  I hate that.
• 1:08:07
  Despise that.
• 1:08:11
  you're just putting a lot
• 1:08:12
  more emphasis on online.
• 1:08:14
  And there's a lot of people that do like,
• 1:08:15
  I'm, I'm doing my workouts alone.
• 1:08:17
  I'm literally doing them
• 1:08:18
  alone on a Friday at the
• 1:08:20
  gym right after work.
• 1:08:21
  And you have training camps
• 1:08:23
  and group of people.
• 1:08:23
  Like it's just such a
• 1:08:24
  different environment.
• 1:08:25
  Like people can just do so
• 1:08:27
  much better in certain
• 1:08:29
  environments that they have
• 1:08:30
  access to versus in person.
• 1:08:32
  They don't perform the same
• 1:08:33
  way or they do perform the same way.
• 1:08:34
  And other people step up
• 1:08:35
  their game maybe is what it is,
• 1:08:38
  but I don't know.
• 1:08:39
  It's a lot more emphasis online.
• 1:08:44
  All right.
• 1:08:45
  So speaking of where do we want to go?
• 1:08:50
  Tia's wrist injury we kind of touched on,
• 1:08:53
  but she was on Coffee Pods
• 1:08:54
  and Watts today.
• 1:08:54
  I tried to squeeze it in
• 1:08:56
  between open announcement and here.
• 1:09:01
  They went two hours.
• 1:09:03
  Jesus.
• 1:09:04
  Um, which shocked me with Tia.
• 1:09:08
  Uh,
• 1:09:08
  she doesn't do a lot of podcasts and it
• 1:09:11
  was obvious in this podcast
• 1:09:12
  that she talked about her
• 1:09:13
  trust of the media,
• 1:09:15
  that she doesn't trust a
• 1:09:17
  lot of the media and that
• 1:09:19
  she thinks a lot of the
• 1:09:20
  media is a hateful, which hurts my heart.
• 1:09:25
  Yeah.
• 1:09:28
  Because I don't think a lot
• 1:09:30
  of the media is hateful.
• 1:09:32
  I think we just get a bad
• 1:09:34
  rap for a couple people.
• 1:09:36
  But she's had some people
• 1:09:39
  speak very negatively about her.
• 1:09:42
  So I understand her perspective.
• 1:09:44
  When people say certain things about you,
• 1:09:47
  you're not going to want to
• 1:09:48
  go on certain shows.
• 1:09:50
  Right.
• 1:09:51
  I agree.
• 1:09:53
  So she has a valid point as
• 1:09:54
  to why she doesn't.
• 1:09:57
  do many interviews with
• 1:09:58
  certain people that like
• 1:09:59
  she's she's always gone on
• 1:10:00
  talking elite fitness and
• 1:10:02
  she has her people that she
• 1:10:05
  feels comfortable with and
• 1:10:07
  I guess respects their
• 1:10:11
  their media absolutely what
• 1:10:15
  what was so in full
• 1:10:19
  transparency I was not a
• 1:10:20
  big fan of her uh youtube
• 1:10:22
  channel I don't think she
• 1:10:24
  brought a lot of content to the table
• 1:10:27
  but this one I mean she was
• 1:10:30
  she was very talkative very
• 1:10:32
  open very transparent um
• 1:10:36
  and it's definitely worth a
• 1:10:37
  listen um just know you're
• 1:10:39
  you're in for a two-hour
• 1:10:40
  ride yeah on that one um
• 1:10:49
  you know maybe I'm a little
• 1:10:51
  resentful because I've
• 1:10:52
  tried to get her on the
• 1:10:52
  show and yes um she agreed
• 1:10:56
  at one point um and then
• 1:10:58
  backed out last minute um
• 1:11:02
  but you know we'll see um
• 1:11:08
  mal's interview on tef did
• 1:11:10
  you guys catch that with lauren
• 1:11:13
  Nope.
• 1:11:14
  First 15,
• 1:11:15
  20 minutes didn't really do
• 1:11:19
  anything for me.
• 1:11:20
  But then they got into kind
• 1:11:22
  of why she walked away.
• 1:11:25
  And for the first time,
• 1:11:26
  I think she explained it in
• 1:11:29
  a way that I could understand.
• 1:11:31
  Not that it's meant for me to understand.
• 1:11:33
  I've said on this show,
• 1:11:34
  I want her to be happy.
• 1:11:36
  I don't care if she comes back.
• 1:11:38
  If she wants to step away,
• 1:11:39
  that's all her decision.
• 1:11:40
  But she talks about how she
• 1:11:43
  could not turn it off and
• 1:11:44
  she would not turn it off
• 1:11:46
  until she won the games.
• 1:11:48
  And that was driving her
• 1:11:49
  into a hole that she just
• 1:11:52
  would never get out of.
• 1:11:57
  Um,
• 1:11:57
  and so it took her completely walking
• 1:12:00
  away, uh, for that.
• 1:12:05
  Did you watch her on be friendly?
• 1:12:07
  I couldn't.
• 1:12:09
  Okay.
• 1:12:10
  Yeah, I haven't seen either of them.
• 1:12:12
  I was going to try to catch
• 1:12:13
  the Be Friendly one,
• 1:12:14
  and then I saw this one.
• 1:12:16
  It's like 27 minutes,
• 1:12:18
  so it's very digestible,
• 1:12:21
  but it's the end where they
• 1:12:23
  get into the deep talk.
• 1:12:25
  Yeah.
• 1:12:29
  I tried to watch the Be Friendly one.
• 1:12:31
  It just didn't have any
• 1:12:32
  substance for a while, and I was like...
• 1:12:35
  I gotta go.
• 1:12:36
  I heard that, but quite a few people said,
• 1:12:39
  if you like scroll to like
• 1:12:40
  30 or 35 minutes and then started,
• 1:12:42
  you would, it would be better.
• 1:12:44
  So I might try to do that.
• 1:12:46
  Yeah.
• 1:12:48
  Um,
• 1:12:51
  Behind the scenes.
• 1:12:53
  I finally finished it.
• 1:12:55
  So I wanted to give like a last one.
• 1:12:57
  Carolyn is like the star of the demo team.
• 1:13:00
  She's the only demo team
• 1:13:03
  member that makes the cut.
• 1:13:06
  You are.
• 1:13:06
  I think they have Victor
• 1:13:10
  Hoffer in there in the background.
• 1:13:11
  They would have had Victor
• 1:13:12
  doing some of the gymnastics stuff, no?
• 1:13:15
  Yeah, but you are the speaking part.
• 1:13:19
  Correct.
• 1:13:19
  You've got all the speaking parts.
• 1:13:21
  I'm always talkative.
• 1:13:22
  Lex lets me know that too.
• 1:13:29
  So in my opinion, it was very good.
• 1:13:30
  It was nice to get back to
• 1:13:32
  something like that.
• 1:13:33
  But I will say that...
• 1:13:37
  this show and this company
• 1:13:40
  love all the athletes like
• 1:13:41
  we we try to interview all
• 1:13:43
  the semi-finalists we know
• 1:13:45
  all the games athletes as
• 1:13:47
  the episodes went on it
• 1:13:49
  definitely funneled down
• 1:13:50
  into a handful of athletes
• 1:13:54
  sure for the end right and
• 1:13:57
  as that got on I wanted to
• 1:13:59
  know more about others but
• 1:14:01
  again if I did that it
• 1:14:02
  would be a 24 episode
• 1:14:05
  Do you think it would be
• 1:14:06
  hard because of the cuts as
• 1:14:07
  well as the field got smaller,
• 1:14:08
  there was less people to
• 1:14:10
  also interview or,
• 1:14:11
  and then they focused a
• 1:14:12
  little bit more on,
• 1:14:14
  would that be a factor?
• 1:14:15
  No, and it could, and it could be like,
• 1:14:17
  I wasn't there.
• 1:14:19
  So it could be that the
• 1:14:19
  athletes weren't available.
• 1:14:22
  Like those athletes that I
• 1:14:23
  wanted to hear from didn't
• 1:14:25
  make themselves available to the, to,
• 1:14:29
  to his crew.
• 1:14:31
  So I felt like,
• 1:14:33
  I felt like there was too much Laura.
• 1:14:37
  And it, and it wasn't so that,
• 1:14:39
  that was a thing I thought too.
• 1:14:41
  And it wasn't, it wasn't the games based.
• 1:14:47
  No, it was their personal few more than.
• 1:14:52
  Yeah.
• 1:14:54
  Yeah.
• 1:14:54
  I was, um,
• 1:14:59
  But yeah, I thought it was good.
• 1:15:00
  It was nice to have it back.
• 1:15:02
  But man,
• 1:15:02
  there were so many cameras down there,
• 1:15:05
  it seemed like.
• 1:15:06
  So many.
• 1:15:07
  And when I talked to Ariel, she was like,
• 1:15:08
  I didn't even notice them.
• 1:15:10
  Yeah, because there were so many.
• 1:15:15
  Or because Sevan's so little,
• 1:15:19
  he just kind of... She
• 1:15:22
  didn't see them at all.
• 1:15:23
  I bet you there was 10,
• 1:15:25
  12 cameras up at all times.
• 1:15:27
  Yeah, they had a lot of people.
• 1:15:32
  Not us.
• 1:15:34
  Yeah, not us.
• 1:15:36
  We didn't get that access.
• 1:15:38
  Oh, we did for Masters.
• 1:15:41
  Yeah, sort of.
• 1:15:42
  Not like that.
• 1:15:45
  We were allowed to step down
• 1:15:46
  there just after they came
• 1:15:47
  off to get a final interview.
• 1:15:49
  It was not the same.
• 1:15:50
  We were not allowed to go
• 1:15:51
  back there when they're
• 1:15:51
  warming up and get their
• 1:15:52
  take on workouts.
• 1:15:55
  We could have had way better footage.
• 1:15:56
  If they would have let us
• 1:15:57
  cover some Masters,
• 1:15:58
  there could have been some
• 1:15:59
  cool behind-the-scenes stuff.
• 1:16:02
  Yeah.
• 1:16:04
  I would have loved to do that.
• 1:16:05
  Yeah.
• 1:16:10
  Speaking of behind the scenes and videos,
• 1:16:13
  the Haley Hiller video,
• 1:16:15
  if you have not seen that, it is so,
• 1:16:19
  so good.
• 1:16:21
  It's very good.
• 1:16:24
  When Hiller uses his powers for good.
• 1:16:28
  It can be amazing.
• 1:16:30
  That is one of the best
• 1:16:31
  things I've seen in 10 years.
• 1:16:35
  And I have always loved Haley Murillo.
• 1:16:40
  And I love her even more after this.
• 1:16:43
  And I love her husband too.
• 1:16:46
  And their daughter is the cutest.
• 1:16:47
  She is adorable.
• 1:16:50
  clone of josh yeah it's so
• 1:16:54
  good so good and I love
• 1:16:57
  that like they show going
• 1:16:58
  to a globo gym uh for
• 1:17:00
  hayley just to and like
• 1:17:03
  there were so many parts I
• 1:17:04
  loved about it and um just
• 1:17:08
  kudos to hillar like that
• 1:17:10
  was just that was awesome
• 1:17:14
  It'd be nice for him to kind
• 1:17:15
  of follow her at each stage of the season,
• 1:17:18
  like quarters and semis and games,
• 1:17:20
  and then just do a little,
• 1:17:22
  of course she'll make it there.
• 1:17:24
  She should,
• 1:17:25
  but just kind of follow her
• 1:17:28
  year and see how her
• 1:17:29
  mindset is at different parts.
• 1:17:30
  It'd be kind of cool to see.
• 1:17:33
  Yeah, would love that.
• 1:17:34
  And that's what we strived
• 1:17:36
  to do last year with our all access.
• 1:17:39
  And I think what I learned
• 1:17:41
  is I had too many people.
• 1:17:43
  Like it needs to be more
• 1:17:45
  intimate than we even tried.
• 1:17:49
  But I wanted to do something
• 1:17:51
  like that where it was more
• 1:17:52
  intimate throughout the
• 1:17:54
  season and you got to know
• 1:17:55
  all the aspects of every
• 1:17:57
  workout and all the way through.
• 1:18:00
  And Carolyn was a part of that.
• 1:18:02
  Um,
• 1:18:03
  and I'm still working on the final cut
• 1:18:05
  of the, the games version, which, uh,
• 1:18:10
  hopefully we'll get out
• 1:18:10
  here in the next few weeks,
• 1:18:13
  at least another episode, um, to do that.
• 1:18:17
  So, um,
• 1:18:21
  and then finally rogue is going to
• 1:18:24
  Scotland and,
• 1:18:27
  super cool yeah interesting
• 1:18:29
  what I love about that is
• 1:18:30
  it's such a great test case
• 1:18:33
  rogue does things so well
• 1:18:37
  it's going to be
• 1:18:38
  interesting to see what the
• 1:18:40
  reaction is by the fans in
• 1:18:43
  europe that they have an
• 1:18:45
  event like what's how is it
• 1:18:47
  going to show up how
• 1:18:49
  logistically do they set up
• 1:18:50
  the equipment where do they get it from
• 1:18:54
  You know,
• 1:18:54
  they've done the European semifinal,
• 1:18:57
  so they have like a roadmap already.
• 1:19:00
  But to do a bigger event.
• 1:19:02
  Well,
• 1:19:03
  you just know Europe is going to show
• 1:19:05
  up because if they can do well here,
• 1:19:07
  games are going to be
• 1:19:08
  looking at that and going
• 1:19:10
  to be looking to see,
• 1:19:12
  can we bring the games to Europe?
• 1:19:15
  Right.
• 1:19:16
  So, you know,
• 1:19:16
  Europe is going to is going to show up.
• 1:19:20
  Like Rogue has done a lot.
• 1:19:22
  Like they're always leading the way.
• 1:19:23
  If you look at the 2020
• 1:19:25
  games or Rogue Invitational,
• 1:19:27
  when they did everything
• 1:19:28
  online and everyone at the
• 1:19:29
  same time with the screens
• 1:19:31
  and they sent equipment and
• 1:19:32
  they send the judges,
• 1:19:33
  like that was the first
• 1:19:34
  time we'd ever seen that
• 1:19:35
  from different locations live.
• 1:19:37
  And then CrossFit and other
• 1:19:39
  places started using that
• 1:19:40
  technology and that idea.
• 1:19:43
  Then you have at the Rogue
• 1:19:44
  Invitational this year,
• 1:19:46
  they had a paid... What was
• 1:19:49
  the thing that the... Broadcast?
• 1:19:53
  You know games are going to
• 1:19:54
  be looking at that and being like,
• 1:19:55
  what's Rogue doing there?
• 1:19:55
  Now it seems like Rogue is
• 1:19:57
  just leading in everything
• 1:19:59
  and then games can kind of
• 1:20:00
  see whether that's going to
• 1:20:01
  work and then it would be
• 1:20:03
  nice at the CrossFit Games
• 1:20:05
  if they could do that same
• 1:20:06
  idea with the broadcast
• 1:20:08
  where you can pay to watch
• 1:20:09
  a certain lane or certain
• 1:20:11
  athletes and then I could
• 1:20:13
  see it maybe going to Europe.
• 1:20:16
  a few years if it works well
• 1:20:18
  so that that alternate
• 1:20:20
  broadcast that rogue did
• 1:20:22
  probably my favorite thing
• 1:20:23
  of 2023 I had my laptop
• 1:20:27
  hooked up to every monitor
• 1:20:29
  I had so all the different
• 1:20:31
  versions I had on a
• 1:20:31
  different screen and I
• 1:20:33
  could just move my head
• 1:20:34
  around like I'm watching
• 1:20:37
  nfl sunday ticket on a
• 1:20:38
  sunday with all the games
• 1:20:41
  and the tailgate party and
• 1:20:43
  the alternate um
• 1:20:46
  analysis and all that kind
• 1:20:47
  of stuff was so good I
• 1:20:51
  bought it I never watched
• 1:20:52
  it I just bought it to
• 1:20:53
  support because I know that
• 1:20:55
  if I was an athlete I'd
• 1:20:56
  want to have that so I was
• 1:20:57
  like because I was there so
• 1:20:58
  I didn't really need it but
• 1:21:00
  so I never I never saw what
• 1:21:01
  it looked like so what was
• 1:21:04
  cool is they always had
• 1:21:06
  like a wide angle of the entire field
• 1:21:10
  So like I have that on one screen.
• 1:21:13
  Then they have another
• 1:21:14
  screen that is like the
• 1:21:16
  people in first and second.
• 1:21:18
  Then they have another
• 1:21:19
  screen that's from a different angle.
• 1:21:23
  But you always had like the
• 1:21:24
  base was the widescreen to
• 1:21:26
  see where everybody was.
• 1:21:28
  Like you could see if
• 1:21:29
  someone was catching up or someone was,
• 1:21:31
  you know,
• 1:21:31
  because so many times they focus
• 1:21:33
  on who's in first and
• 1:21:34
  second and someone
• 1:21:35
  overtakes that lead and
• 1:21:36
  they've missed it.
• 1:21:38
  Oh,
• 1:21:38
  then this person just came in out of
• 1:21:40
  nowhere.
• 1:21:40
  And it's like, it wasn't out of nowhere.
• 1:21:43
  You guys just missed it.
• 1:21:45
  Right.
• 1:21:47
  What I love the best is what
• 1:21:48
  I think the one suggestion
• 1:21:49
  I would make is if you had a camera,
• 1:21:51
  like on these two lanes, these two lanes,
• 1:21:56
  these two lanes, these two lanes.
• 1:21:58
  So you, and you could switch between them.
• 1:22:01
  Agreed.
• 1:22:03
  That I think is the next evolution.
• 1:22:05
  Yep.
• 1:22:11
  um kenneth is going deep uh
• 1:22:16
  yes it even beat out
• 1:22:17
  getting to interview fancy
• 1:22:19
  tovar um I'd love the
• 1:22:24
  suggestions um in the
• 1:22:26
  comments about I really
• 1:22:28
  hoping scottish highland
• 1:22:29
  game style events so that rogue yeah
• 1:22:35
  I, I didn't look in, like,
• 1:22:36
  I just saw that Rogue was
• 1:22:38
  going to Europe and that
• 1:22:40
  was my initial thought.
• 1:22:41
  I basically thought they
• 1:22:42
  were going to not do Rogue
• 1:22:43
  here and go to the like Highland games.
• 1:22:46
  I, so I guess,
• 1:22:48
  so they're just doing their own event.
• 1:22:49
  They're just making a whole
• 1:22:50
  brand new event over there.
• 1:22:52
  No, it is the Rogue Invitational.
• 1:22:55
  Okay.
• 1:22:58
  So it'll still be our CrossFit.
• 1:23:00
  It's not going to coincide with like,
• 1:23:02
  yeah.
• 1:23:05
  Like Kenneth said,
• 1:23:06
  it's going to be mental.
• 1:23:07
  Strongman is huge in Scotland.
• 1:23:10
  For sure.
• 1:23:11
  Isn't it in November, Scott?
• 1:23:12
  I can't remember.
• 1:23:13
  I thought it was later, right?
• 1:23:14
  It's October.
• 1:23:16
  Oh, they're moving it?
• 1:23:17
  Yeah,
• 1:23:17
  I think they moved it a little
• 1:23:19
  further to November or something.
• 1:23:21
  If I remember.
• 1:23:21
  The video they put out is just gorgeous.
• 1:23:25
  And I just was in awe of that.
• 1:23:27
  So, yeah.
• 1:23:33
  I would love to be able to
• 1:23:35
  get some sponsors and get
• 1:23:36
  over there because I think
• 1:23:37
  that would be so killer.
• 1:23:40
  But without major sponsor
• 1:23:43
  changes in this show,
• 1:23:44
  we won't be watching it on
• 1:23:46
  the tailgate party because
• 1:23:49
  I can afford the 20 bucks to do that.
• 1:23:52
  Yeah.
• 1:23:56
  Andrew Sten does confirm
• 1:23:57
  it's in November this year.
• 1:24:01
  does make it weird that they
• 1:24:02
  always do it on halloween
• 1:24:04
  yeah it is weird um my wife
• 1:24:10
  is a big halloween fan and
• 1:24:14
  when my daughter was little
• 1:24:15
  like if I would have I
• 1:24:17
  actually had a work trip on
• 1:24:18
  halloween once and she
• 1:24:19
  freaked out that I was not
• 1:24:21
  here for halloween and my
• 1:24:23
  daughter so I find that odd
• 1:24:27
  but maybe not everybody
• 1:24:30
  celebrates like my wife
• 1:24:36
  I like Halloween.
• 1:24:40
  So I think that's everything
• 1:24:42
  we got for this week.
• 1:24:46
  You guys got anything else to add?
• 1:24:52
  No.
• 1:24:52
  I've got to get through all
• 1:24:54
  my open set up for tomorrow for the gym.
• 1:24:57
  At least there's not much set up.
• 1:24:59
  Yeah.
• 1:25:00
  That's true.
• 1:25:02
  Yeah.
• 1:25:02
  No tape.
• 1:25:03
  Just as long as you make
• 1:25:04
  them face away from the dumbbell.
• 1:25:06
  Pull out a dumbbell.
• 1:25:07
  Give them a square.
• 1:25:10
  Yeah.
• 1:25:12
  It's going to get sweaty.
• 1:25:12
  I do like that they've made
• 1:25:16
  that easier this year.
• 1:25:18
  That's got to be great for
• 1:25:19
  affiliate owners.
• 1:25:22
  Definitely.
• 1:25:25
  Kenneth is already pumped for 24.2,
• 1:25:27
  and he hasn't even done 24.1 yet.
• 1:25:33
  To make my students do this tomorrow.
• 1:25:36
  Heck yeah.
• 1:25:37
  Heck yeah.
• 1:25:41
  No,
• 1:25:41
  I think that'd be too much hinging that
• 1:25:42
  I haven't prepared them
• 1:25:43
  enough for that much hinging.
• 1:25:45
  I don't want to put that on them.
• 1:25:50
  Do you, do you have to back your kids off?
• 1:25:53
  Like, do they want to go like super hard?
• 1:25:57
  This group that I have is awesome.
• 1:25:58
  I have a great, I have, so I've,
• 1:25:59
  I teach grade nine and 10
• 1:26:00
  math and then I have a
• 1:26:01
  grade 11 and 12 fitness class.
• 1:26:03
  They're really good.
• 1:26:04
  They're working super hard.
• 1:26:07
  They're giving it.
• 1:26:09
  There's some good athletes in there,
• 1:26:10
  but I don't do many,
• 1:26:11
  like I don't do many like CrossFit wads.
• 1:26:14
  I use what I like the most about CrossFit.
• 1:26:18
  I've never taught them any
• 1:26:19
  kipping at all or anything like that.
• 1:26:20
  Everything's strict,
• 1:26:21
  a lot of single leg work and jumping and,
• 1:26:25
  um,
• 1:26:26
  unilateral things plus the
• 1:26:29
  main lifts I guess but I
• 1:26:32
  don't do much crossfit like
• 1:26:34
  wads I just don't have
• 1:26:35
  enough equipment to or
• 1:26:36
  space yeah that makes sense
• 1:26:40
  do you believe that
• 1:26:41
  crossfit should be a part
• 1:26:42
  of like phys ed programs it
• 1:26:45
  can be why not I mean cross
• 1:26:51
  it's kind of like
• 1:26:52
  everything right it's some right it's
• 1:26:55
  A lot of gym,
• 1:26:56
  like a lot of phys ed
• 1:26:57
  teachers use parts of
• 1:26:58
  CrossFit when they're doing
• 1:27:00
  like little circuits and stuff.
• 1:27:03
  They just don't call it CrossFit,
• 1:27:05
  but to us it would be CrossFit.
• 1:27:08
  Yeah.
• 1:27:11
  I just want to make sure I
• 1:27:12
  add rotational work and
• 1:27:14
  lateral work because
• 1:27:15
  everything's in the
• 1:27:16
  sagittal plane for CrossFit.
• 1:27:20
  Except for these burpees
• 1:27:22
  over the laterals.
• 1:27:25
  So like you love lateral
• 1:27:28
  movements because you were
• 1:27:30
  a hockey player.
• 1:27:31
  You were an athlete.
• 1:27:34
  And so that, but,
• 1:27:35
  but hockey specifically to skate,
• 1:27:38
  you're pushing out, right?
• 1:27:39
  And soccer, like you're like,
• 1:27:41
  I'm cutting everything.
• 1:27:43
  So you have to,
• 1:27:44
  you have to move laterally
• 1:27:45
  in basketball and a lot of sports.
• 1:27:49
  I just think that's the one
• 1:27:51
  thing that CrossFit doesn't have.
• 1:27:51
  There's no rotational moves
• 1:27:54
  and there's not much lateral work at all.
• 1:27:57
  Only at the games if you had
• 1:27:59
  a little zigzag or if
• 1:28:01
  you're doing a lateral box jump overs.
• 1:28:02
  And that's really not much.
• 1:28:05
  Like everything is in this plane.
• 1:28:08
  And for a lot of sports,
• 1:28:10
  there's a lot of movements
• 1:28:11
  rotationally and then just like.
• 1:28:14
  Now that I'm not playing
• 1:28:15
  hockey this year for the
• 1:28:17
  first year in my life and
• 1:28:18
  I'm only doing technically
• 1:28:20
  one sport with CrossFit,
• 1:28:21
  I want to make sure that
• 1:28:22
  I'm not losing certain
• 1:28:24
  parts of my fitness that
• 1:28:26
  I've done since I was three years old.
• 1:28:29
  I'm actively adding things to my training.
• 1:28:37
  What can coaches do to add
• 1:28:39
  that to their programming?
• 1:28:42
  Some of the accessory work.
• 1:28:44
  like some med balls to the wall,
• 1:28:47
  some like anti-rotation,
• 1:28:49
  like pallet presses,
• 1:28:51
  just like just some rotational work, some,
• 1:28:55
  some simple bounding in warmups.
• 1:28:58
  It can be in warmups and accessory.
• 1:29:01
  Yeah.
• 1:29:02
  We at Polaris,
• 1:29:03
  we do it a little bit with bodybuilding,
• 1:29:06
  like in band work,
• 1:29:07
  like twisting with the bands.
• 1:29:10
  Um, but yeah.
• 1:29:14
  Yeah.
• 1:29:16
  I,
• 1:29:17
  one thing I think that would be fun to
• 1:29:18
  see in a CrossFit would be
• 1:29:20
  like a three cone drill,
• 1:29:22
  like as a rep that you'd have to, and,
• 1:29:26
  and I don't even know if
• 1:29:27
  people know what that is,
• 1:29:28
  but in football at the combine,
• 1:29:30
  this is a combine week for the NFL.
• 1:29:32
  They do a three cone drill and time them,
• 1:29:34
  the guys.
• 1:29:35
  And it's, it is a super fast, quick,
• 1:29:38
  short shuttle run.
• 1:29:39
  The five, 10, five.
• 1:29:41
  Yeah.
• 1:29:42
  the pro agility,
• 1:29:43
  my students have that tomorrow.
• 1:29:46
  Yeah.
• 1:29:47
  And I think that would be like,
• 1:29:49
  if each one was a rep,
• 1:29:51
  and you had to do those,
• 1:29:52
  it would be adding some of
• 1:29:54
  that lateral movement,
• 1:29:55
  because most of most good
• 1:29:57
  people through a three cone
• 1:29:58
  drill are moving sideways.
• 1:30:03
  Yeah.
• 1:30:04
  The good scores, you have to shuffle,
• 1:30:06
  I guess the shuttle runs on the pivots,
• 1:30:09
  add a little bit of athleticism there.
• 1:30:11
  But
• 1:30:14
  Yeah.
• 1:30:16
  Yeah.
• 1:30:16
  I'd say for Andrew in the
• 1:30:19
  warmups and the accessory,
• 1:30:22
  I just think those are
• 1:30:22
  important things to add.
• 1:30:26
  And then the rest cross,
• 1:30:26
  it's the best methodology
• 1:30:28
  for general fitness after that.
• 1:30:31
  It's just missing a couple key things.
• 1:30:35
  Yeah.
• 1:30:36
  We've been doing a crap ton
• 1:30:38
  of landmine stuff.
• 1:30:40
  Yup.
• 1:30:44
  All right.
• 1:30:44
  All right.
• 1:30:45
  There you go.
• 1:30:47
  Listen to Carolyn Prevo
• 1:30:49
  programming for your kids and your,
• 1:30:52
  your class.
• 1:30:53
  All right.
• 1:30:53
  With that, um,
• 1:30:55
  good luck to everybody on 24.1.
• 1:30:58
  Um, we might be back with you on Sunday,
• 1:31:02
  uh,
• 1:31:03
  with some live footage of that and
• 1:31:06
  Jamie's team.
• 1:31:07
  Um,
• 1:31:08
  we will try to post that up as soon as
• 1:31:10
  we can.
• 1:31:11
  Once we know for sure that'll happen.
• 1:31:14
  And with that, if you want Jim Haley and I,
• 1:31:19
  then you're going to want
• 1:31:20
  to go live tomorrow.
• 1:31:22
  It just, I don't know.
• 1:31:24
  We'll talk about it.
• 1:31:26
  We can go live tomorrow.
• 1:31:27
  I'm here.
• 1:31:28
  Maybe.
• 1:31:29
  Okay.
• 1:31:29
  We'll talk about it.
• 1:31:30
  We'll see what time everyone
• 1:31:31
  else is going.
• 1:31:31
  I don't want to be competing
• 1:31:33
  with other streams.
• 1:31:33
  All right.
• 1:31:36
  Cool.
• 1:31:37
  Well, with that,
• 1:31:38
