  jamie is still on vacation
• 0:37
  in cancun she said she may
• 0:39
  pop in for ten minutes here
• 0:41
  there but we don't know
• 0:42
  would be as surprised as
• 0:43
  you uh but she is really
• 0:45
  enjoying her time down
• 0:46
  there uh and we're gonna
• 0:48
  talk a little bit about her
• 0:49
  tonight um but yeah it's
• 0:52
  been a crazy week how have
• 0:53
  you been carolyn
• 0:55
  been good yeah quick week it
• 0:57
  went by really fast
• 0:58
  actually I feel like
• 0:59
  everything's just kind of
• 1:00
  after like that week of the
• 1:02
  open like a little bit
• 1:03
  after you're kind of like
• 1:04
  looking at the leaderboard
• 1:05
  just kind of recovering in
• 1:07
  terms like physically too a
• 1:08
  little bit from the stress
• 1:10
  of the open even though
• 1:11
  it's not like stressful it
• 1:12
  still is kind of an
• 1:14
  intensity that you haven't
• 1:17
  done it maybe as much in
• 1:18
  training so it takes a
• 1:20
  couple days just to get
• 1:20
  back into the swing of
• 1:21
  things so now I feel like I'm rolling and
• 1:25
  Here we are again doing
• 1:26
  another qualifier soon.
• 1:28
  Yeah.
• 1:30
  So we're definitely going to
• 1:31
  get into detail on that.
• 1:34
  My week has been like a hamster wheel.
• 1:36
  So we start off with really good news.
• 1:38
  Julie no longer needs a cane.
• 1:40
  That's amazing.
• 1:41
  For like the first time
• 1:43
  since like eight months before...
• 1:47
  her surgery she's been she
• 1:49
  was using a cane all the
• 1:50
  way up and um and then the
• 1:54
  surgery and then now she
• 1:55
  just got rid of it and
• 1:57
  she's really comfortable
• 1:58
  and she's really moving
• 1:59
  well with it and even on
• 2:01
  dog walks now going without
• 2:02
  the cane so that's been
• 2:04
  really nice and good for
• 2:06
  both of us to like get to
• 2:08
  do those again that we
• 2:09
  haven't been able to do
• 2:10
  that in a long time yeah
• 2:10
  that's awesome it's good news for sure
• 2:14
  And then my daughter on
• 2:15
  Wednesday found out she got
• 2:16
  the job in Montana.
• 2:19
  So she's moving from
• 2:20
  Pittsburgh to Montana in the next month.
• 2:24
  And I am driving out with her.
• 2:30
  I don't have super long.
• 2:33
  We're going to dinner really soon.
• 2:39
  Well, it's good.
• 2:43
  Weather can't claim whether
• 2:44
  it's been absolutely gorgeous every day.
• 2:46
  Food's been great.
• 2:47
  Yeah.
• 2:50
  Yeah.
• 2:51
  People are asking where
• 2:52
  you're at and you are,
• 2:53
  you're on vacation.
• 2:56
  I am.
• 2:58
  Do you want to come home?
• 3:01
  I need to,
• 3:03
  I need to come home and get back to work.
• 3:04
  You know, I feel disgusting.
• 3:07
  Um,
• 3:08
  I mean, the Dreams Natura in Cancun.
• 3:11
  Yeah, it's been great.
• 3:15
  Is there a gym at the hotel?
• 3:17
  Have you been able to go to
• 3:18
  a CrossFit gym or are you
• 3:19
  just doing hotel stuff?
• 3:22
  Yeah, it's a resort.
• 3:23
  There's a gym here,
• 3:24
  but it's got like some
• 3:27
  dumbbells and some treadmills, basically.
• 3:32
  I did one day that I went
• 3:33
  and did dumbbell Kelsu,
• 3:35
  but that's essentially all
• 3:37
  I've done that I've been here.
• 3:38
  was one day.
• 3:42
  Body needs that break though.
• 3:43
  I don't know about right
• 3:46
  before the qualifier, but whatever it is,
• 3:49
  what it is.
• 3:52
  Craig Passley says just to
• 3:53
  twenty five point one every day.
• 3:56
  Yeah, I if there was room in there,
• 3:58
  I would have done something
• 3:59
  more like that.
• 4:01
  They're just yeah,
• 4:02
  there's not a lot of room in there.
• 4:05
  So before we lose you.
• 4:07
  I was sitting at work and
• 4:10
  I'm working away and I just
• 4:12
  had Be Friendly Fitness on
• 4:13
  in the background listening
• 4:14
  to them talk about the WFP qualifiers.
• 4:19
  And all of a sudden I hear
• 4:20
  this voice that is very,
• 4:21
  very familiar to me and I
• 4:23
  turn and there you are.
• 4:27
  Yeah.
• 4:28
  And so I was shocked and you
• 4:30
  were on there.
• 4:31
  Why?
• 4:32
  Well,
• 4:33
  Brian messaged me like the night that
• 4:34
  the qualifiers finalized and was like,
• 4:36
  Holy cow.
• 4:37
  I like great job.
• 4:39
  He's like, are you free?
• 4:40
  And I'm like, well, I'm on vacation.
• 4:43
  Um, and he's like,
• 4:43
  I'll shoot your message
• 4:44
  tomorrow for free.
• 4:45
  If you want to hop on.
• 4:46
  He's like, I like, he said on there to him,
• 4:50
  me qualifying was like one
• 4:51
  of the top three things impressive to him,
• 4:54
  which is nice to hear.
• 4:56
  Um, so yeah, I mean,
• 4:58
  I like to get Brian's
• 5:00
  FaceTime every now and then.
• 5:03
  And so if the viewers don't
• 5:05
  know you at the age of
• 5:07
  forty one are one of the
• 5:08
  top thirty WFP qualifiers
• 5:12
  for the Challenger Series
• 5:14
  in Indianapolis.
• 5:15
  And you said on Be Friendly
• 5:18
  that it's close to you.
• 5:20
  So it may be the best option
• 5:22
  for you to go ahead and
• 5:23
  compete because it's really close.
• 5:26
  Yeah.
• 5:28
  Yeah.
• 5:28
  I mean,
• 5:28
  we don't get a ton of opportunities
• 5:31
  to do live competitions.
• 5:34
  as masters, really as anyone,
• 5:36
  like me and Carolyn knows, like how many,
• 5:38
  how many decently close
• 5:39
  competitions do we get the
• 5:42
  opportunity to do anymore?
• 5:44
  Not many.
• 5:45
  And like, for me, I often have to travel.
• 5:47
  So if it's like flight wise,
• 5:50
  if to make it like an actual competition,
• 5:52
  that's like worthy of my
• 5:54
  time and stuff like that.
• 5:56
  So if you have one that's
• 5:57
  close and for you,
• 5:58
  like it's a good time
• 5:59
  because it's far enough from like,
• 6:02
  the masters CrossFit game
• 6:04
  that just kind of gets your feet wet.
• 6:06
  You get to compete against
• 6:07
  an amazing field of athletes, you know,
• 6:10
  a better field than what
• 6:11
  you'll see at the,
• 6:12
  at the masters CrossFit games.
• 6:14
  Um, it will be, I mean,
• 6:18
  you look at those names in
• 6:18
  that challenger division, like that's,
• 6:21
  it's significantly better
• 6:22
  than what you'll get in
• 6:22
  your division at the masters.
• 6:24
  Yeah.
• 6:25
  Like it's a great experience, um,
• 6:29
  like of a comp for, for you, I think.
• 6:33
  I just got to not go get last.
• 6:37
  You have some real health stuff, though.
• 6:39
  Yeah.
• 6:41
  Exactly what I was going to say, Carolyn.
• 6:42
  And you said on Be Friendly,
• 6:44
  you have your jams.
• 6:46
  And isn't it going to be fun
• 6:47
  to see how you stack up on
• 6:50
  those events against some
• 6:52
  of the elite athletes in the world?
• 6:53
  A hundred percent.
• 6:56
  Like you have no pressure.
• 6:57
  Like you're looking at
• 6:58
  competing against people
• 7:00
  that are honestly half your age.
• 7:03
  Yeah.
• 7:03
  I'm saying that nicely, but like,
• 7:05
  it's true.
• 7:06
  You have girls like in their
• 7:07
  young twenties that are
• 7:09
  going to be there against you.
• 7:10
  You have nothing to lose and
• 7:12
  like the pressures on them really.
• 7:14
  And you get to,
• 7:15
  to have a great competition.
• 7:16
  I think that that's, that'll be great.
• 7:18
  Yeah.
• 7:21
  Well, you know, I,
• 7:22
  I'm sure I speak for Carolyn.
• 7:23
  We are so proud of you.
• 7:26
  that you did that um I do
• 7:28
  however the fact that you
• 7:29
  said on be friendly well
• 7:31
  one of the reasons I made
• 7:32
  it was because carolyn
• 7:33
  didn't compete I would I
• 7:35
  mean I would have made it
• 7:36
  even closer right so it was
• 7:41
  cool that you shouted out
• 7:42
  your co-host in the middle
• 7:44
  of that that um that she
• 7:47
  would have probably taken
• 7:48
  one of those spots as well
• 7:49
  yeah well I mean I see
• 7:51
  looking back on that I so
• 7:53
  when I looked like the
• 7:54
  night when brian messaged
• 7:55
  me like I looked at like
• 7:57
  nine or ten p.m and it
• 7:58
  supposedly closed at eight
• 7:59
  p.m and I was in twenty
• 8:00
  fourth and then when I got
• 8:03
  off with brian like because
• 8:05
  I couldn't really see the
• 8:05
  screen it's way different
• 8:06
  on your phone when you're
• 8:07
  used to a computer um and
• 8:08
  then I see I'm in twenty
• 8:09
  nine so I was like what and
• 8:11
  like it's not because of
• 8:12
  any review yet there's just
• 8:13
  like five other people who
• 8:14
  submitted somehow got their
• 8:16
  score in it was eight p.m central
• 8:20
  So I don't know.
• 8:20
  Yeah, but I was looking at like,
• 8:22
  I was looking at like, which were I'm in,
• 8:26
  I'm in central right now.
• 8:28
  And I was looking at like, at night.
• 8:30
  So even like,
• 8:32
  when I went to bed here in Cancun,
• 8:35
  on Monday night,
• 8:38
  or Tuesday night, sorry, on Tuesday night,
• 8:40
  it was, I was in twenty fourth.
• 8:42
  So I don't know.
• 8:42
  It seems like there was a
• 8:43
  few people who somehow got
• 8:44
  their scores put in late.
• 8:46
  Like,
• 8:47
  like Lydia is one of the ones that I
• 8:49
  saw didn't have a score for, I think,
• 8:52
  like either for point one or point two,
• 8:54
  like hadn't submitted a score.
• 8:56
  And then I see she's up there now.
• 8:58
  So there's clearly a few
• 8:59
  people who didn't.
• 9:02
  I don't know.
• 9:02
  I like I don't know what happened.
• 9:05
  It could have been a meter board.
• 9:06
  It could have been, like, who knows?
• 9:09
  Does it take time for the, like,
• 9:12
  I can't remember on competition corner.
• 9:13
  Is it immediately when you
• 9:15
  post your score normally?
• 9:16
  I think that one's basically immediately,
• 9:17
  right?
• 9:18
  I think that one's immediately.
• 9:20
  Yeah,
• 9:20
  because the CrossFit Games one takes
• 9:22
  a little bit normally.
• 9:24
  Yeah.
• 9:25
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 9:27
  So, yeah, it's way closer than I thought.
• 9:29
  Like, seeing now that I'm in twenty-nine,
• 9:31
  holy cow.
• 9:32
  Which one was your favorite workout?
• 9:34
  The first one.
• 9:36
  the burpee one?
• 9:38
  For me, the first one's no pressure.
• 9:42
  I know it's going to be decent.
• 9:43
  Just move.
• 9:45
  I feel like the second one
• 9:46
  should have been better for me,
• 9:47
  but I did that one so rushed.
• 9:49
  That was the first one I did
• 9:50
  when I was just doing it
• 9:52
  for shits and giggles.
• 9:55
  I finished and was like,
• 9:56
  that was not my best performance,
• 9:58
  but I did not have time to redo that one.
• 10:02
  I think that that second
• 10:03
  workout was the most
• 10:05
  I think I said this on
• 10:06
  Brian's like the most
• 10:07
  well-rounded workout.
• 10:09
  Cause it was very similar to
• 10:10
  the master's workout that it did.
• 10:12
  So I think that was probably
• 10:14
  the best workout.
• 10:17
  Did you redo any, I had to redo.
• 10:22
  I told like,
• 10:23
  so we radically had no idea
• 10:25
  what was going on with the
• 10:27
  timing of workout three.
• 10:29
  So basically she had me
• 10:30
  start at like a minute and
• 10:32
  forty seven seconds or a minute,
• 10:34
  forty two seconds.
• 10:34
  So I didn't even get a two minute rest.
• 10:37
  And then she stopped me like
• 10:38
  thirty seconds.
• 10:39
  So I only worked for like
• 10:39
  four and a half minutes.
• 10:41
  It was a total shit show.
• 10:42
  So I.
• 10:43
  I was like I could submit it
• 10:45
  I didn't do myself any
• 10:46
  favors with the way we did
• 10:48
  it I don't know if I would
• 10:49
  have gotten a penalty but
• 10:51
  so sunday before I left I
• 10:54
  redid that one I did not
• 10:55
  want to redo it but oh well
• 10:58
  redid it what order did you
• 11:01
  do them in I did so I did
• 11:03
  two and then I did three
• 11:08
  And then I did one because I
• 11:09
  wanted one to be my last one.
• 11:10
  I just wanted to do it.
• 11:12
  And then I had to redo three on Sunday.
• 11:20
  Larry Young,
• 11:20
  that makes it sound like you
• 11:21
  can win your age group easy.
• 11:23
  Well, she took fourth last year.
• 11:24
  So that means she could win any time.
• 11:29
  Well, we think three.
• 11:32
  Great opportunity to
• 11:33
  showcase your fitness.
• 11:37
  Jamie, you look sun-kissed and so relaxed.
• 11:39
  Love the dress.
• 11:43
  Thank you.
• 11:44
  And yes, Kenneth,
• 11:44
  it is eight PM Eastern already.
• 11:48
  So the other thing that was cool,
• 11:50
  you guys keep getting your flowers.
• 11:53
  I'm going to share this real quick.
• 11:57
  If I can find it, I have so many windows.
• 12:01
  You guys were featured on a
• 12:03
  CrossFit Games post talking
• 12:05
  about the twenty twenty
• 12:06
  five age group CrossFit Open winners.
• 12:10
  And there's our very own
• 12:11
  Carolyn Prevost right there
• 12:13
  on the left hand side of the sheet.
• 12:18
  And both Carolyn and Jamie
• 12:20
  are listed as winners in
• 12:23
  their respective divisions.
• 12:26
  So pretty cool.
• 12:27
  Yeah, that was neat.
• 12:29
  Do you guys get surprised
• 12:30
  when these things pop up online?
• 12:34
  Yeah.
• 12:34
  I'm like, oh, what was I tagged in?
• 12:38
  And then you open it and you're like, oh,
• 12:39
  that was nice.
• 12:41
  I don't think I was tagged,
• 12:42
  but I just saw my picture
• 12:43
  in the back and I was like, whoa,
• 12:44
  what is that?
• 12:46
  You weren't tagged?
• 12:48
  No, I don't think so.
• 12:49
  Oh, gosh.
• 12:51
  So I just was scrolling on
• 12:52
  the homepage and then I see
• 12:54
  it and I was like, oh, cool.
• 12:56
  sure yeah uh keeping it real
• 12:58
  carolyn jamie jr some
• 13:00
  people in the media world
• 13:01
  crushing doing our best
• 13:05
  pretty awesome well um I'm
• 13:11
  taking it you did not watch
• 13:12
  the last episode of reacher
• 13:14
  while in cancun no I have
• 13:15
  not not caught up on
• 13:18
  anything already asked
• 13:19
  about it in the chat but
• 13:20
  I'll wait for your back to
• 13:21
  talk about it okay
• 13:25
  The one thing, though,
• 13:26
  I did have to ask Carolyn
• 13:27
  before we get into a lot of
• 13:28
  the CrossFit stuff,
• 13:29
  and you can hang on for this if you can.
• 13:33
  I was watching Top Chef this week.
• 13:35
  It's one of my guilty pleasures.
• 13:36
  And they're in Canada.
• 13:37
  They're in Toronto this year
• 13:39
  for their season.
• 13:40
  And the quickfire on this night was,
• 13:45
  or not quickfire,
• 13:46
  the elimination was they
• 13:47
  took hockey terms.
• 13:50
  You had to pick and stand behind each one.
• 13:52
  And then it would relate to a food.
• 13:56
  So, like, you stand behind puck,
• 13:58
  you take off the cover,
• 14:00
  and it's a biscuit, right?
• 14:02
  Because a puck can be called a biscuit.
• 14:04
  And they went through that.
• 14:06
  But they featured two
• 14:07
  women's pro hockey players.
• 14:10
  Nice.
• 14:10
  Natalie Spooner and Sarah Nurse.
• 14:13
  Do you know those two women?
• 14:14
  Yeah, I played with both of them.
• 14:17
  So it was really cool that
• 14:19
  they're getting publicity
• 14:21
  on Top Chef this season.
• 14:23
  And they got to be there for
• 14:24
  the tasting and judging at the end.
• 14:28
  And it was really cool.
• 14:28
  They really represented the league well.
• 14:31
  But they made like a little mini rink,
• 14:33
  and they put a table in the
• 14:33
  middle of it to eat.
• 14:35
  And the challenge was you
• 14:37
  took these ingredients,
• 14:38
  and they had to be served
• 14:39
  cold because they're on ice, right?
• 14:42
  Awesome.
• 14:44
  But it was fun.
• 14:45
  It was really fun.
• 14:46
  I'll have to talk about it.
• 14:47
  The food was good.
• 14:50
  So that reminds me, and if I see this girl,
• 14:53
  I didn't get her name.
• 14:54
  I don't know why.
• 14:55
  I had been drinking.
• 14:57
  So a girl was talking to me in the pool.
• 15:00
  And I don't know how we got to talking,
• 15:02
  like what we're talking about.
• 15:03
  So she's from Canada.
• 15:05
  There's a bunch of people
• 15:05
  here from Canada.
• 15:06
  And then she's like, I played...
• 15:09
  Yeah.
• 15:11
  She's like,
• 15:11
  I played hockey at Ohio State University.
• 15:16
  And I was like, I was like,
• 15:17
  why do this podcast with a
• 15:20
  woman who played hockey for Wisconsin?
• 15:23
  And she's like, what's her name?
• 15:24
  And I said her name.
• 15:25
  She's like, oh, I know her.
• 15:27
  So if I see her, I got to get her name.
• 15:29
  Yeah.
• 15:29
  And tell you who it is.
• 15:30
  It's such a small world.
• 15:32
  Yeah.
• 15:33
  Well,
• 15:33
  like women's sports in general is
• 15:34
  like a small world,
• 15:36
  and then the hockey world
• 15:37
  itself is like you just
• 15:39
  start knowing from the different teams.
• 15:42
  It's so funny because the
• 15:43
  minute they brought out
• 15:45
  these pro hockey players, I was like,
• 15:47
  immediately, does Carolyn know them?
• 15:49
  She has to know them, right?
• 15:50
  Because the women's league is pretty small,
• 15:53
  right?
• 15:53
  You don't have a ton of teams yet.
• 15:55
  There are six teams,
• 15:57
  and I've probably played –
• 16:00
  with or against three
• 16:02
  quarters of the players.
• 16:03
  So it's only maybe a twenty
• 16:06
  five percent that I just
• 16:08
  missed out in the last year,
• 16:10
  not playing against them
• 16:12
  like the ones that are
• 16:13
  coming from university from last year.
• 16:16
  But yeah,
• 16:17
  so like I would know most of them
• 16:19
  or I know of them like I
• 16:20
  watch like almost every
• 16:22
  single one of the games.
• 16:23
  I listen to all of their
• 16:24
  podcasts and stuff like that.
• 16:26
  So I'm a big fan still.
• 16:31
  Ken's trying to throw out hockey terms.
• 16:33
  Gino, apple, twig, chirp.
• 16:35
  They did use apple.
• 16:38
  They peanut butter for a
• 16:40
  goal that gets stuck in the net.
• 16:44
  I'd never heard of that one.
• 16:46
  Top cheese.
• 16:47
  I'm trying to think of what else they had.
• 16:50
  They had muffin for like a weak shot.
• 16:53
  Yeah, when you kind of fan on a shot.
• 16:55
  Yeah, you call a muffin.
• 16:56
  they had grapefruit for, um,
• 16:59
  an easy miss on the, for the goalie,
• 17:01
  like a save they should
• 17:02
  have had grapefruit.
• 17:05
  So that's what they did.
• 17:06
  And of course these,
• 17:07
  these chefs had no clue
• 17:09
  about the hockey terms.
• 17:10
  Um, so they,
• 17:11
  they had no idea what they
• 17:12
  were getting into.
• 17:15
  Uh, and then the, uh,
• 17:17
  the tape job on there on a hockey stick,
• 17:20
  uh, licorice.
• 17:22
  yeah that one's more like
• 17:24
  around the like the shaft
• 17:27
  people okay yeah they so
• 17:31
  they had to do yeah
• 17:32
  licorice anise in the in
• 17:34
  their food so yeah it was
• 17:38
  fun it was really a cool
• 17:40
  cool concept but yeah
• 17:44
  that's all I have on that um
• 17:49
  So with that, we can get into some stuff.
• 17:52
  I did want to show this one thing.
• 17:54
  John Young and I,
• 17:55
  and his dad's in the chat,
• 17:56
  and I don't mean to,
• 17:58
  but we have had a battle
• 18:00
  about the Pancheck brothers,
• 18:02
  Saxon in particular.
• 18:04
  And you never know who's
• 18:06
  listening to a podcast when
• 18:08
  you're making comments about a family.
• 18:10
  And if you have not seen this,
• 18:12
  I'm going to share this real quick.
• 18:15
  And because I've been a
• 18:17
  Saxon backer for a long time,
• 18:20
  I am going to.
• 18:25
  This appeared on the barbell
• 18:26
  spin instagram and I will play this.
• 18:32
  I'm trying to get the sound off.
• 18:33
  I can't talk this bad about
• 18:34
  somebody if I'm not willing
• 18:36
  to face the music.
• 18:37
  So if this is the real Scott Panjik,
• 18:42
  I'm going to treat it like it is.
• 18:44
  Yeah, I get it.
• 18:45
  If y'all don't like me, I get it.
• 18:47
  I get it a lot.
• 18:49
  Also,
• 18:50
  my family has not accomplished what
• 18:51
  your family has accomplished.
• 18:54
  you would not be on a
• 18:54
  podcast talking about my family.
• 18:56
  Listen, Scott, I'm doing the grid leak,
• 18:59
  Scott.
• 19:00
  What are you doing?
• 19:01
  What are you doing in June and July?
• 19:02
  If Scott came on your team, hit up Saxon,
• 19:11
  you know, he's not doing the games.
• 19:16
  So he goes on to,
• 19:17
  and he does not apologize.
• 19:19
  He, he,
• 19:20
  leans into it more and then
• 19:22
  Scott comes in later and
• 19:23
  says that he's signing up
• 19:24
  for the rival of the
• 19:25
  Houston grid league team
• 19:28
  take on John but when I saw
• 19:33
  that I was howling because
• 19:35
  John has dogged the
• 19:37
  panchecks forever and when
• 19:39
  Scott came in and said if I
• 19:41
  talked about John's family
• 19:42
  the way he talks about mine
• 19:46
  perfect and you never know
• 19:47
  who's listening to you right
• 19:52
  That's cool.
• 19:54
  Yeah.
• 19:54
  Any thoughts, Carolyn, on that?
• 19:56
  No.
• 19:58
  I mean, it is what it is.
• 20:02
  I don't know what he said about the family,
• 20:03
  though, but maybe some ranking stuff?
• 20:07
  Or did he say something?
• 20:09
  I know in my cases with him,
• 20:11
  I picked Saxon as like a
• 20:13
  dark horse to do well at
• 20:14
  semifinals last year,
• 20:16
  and he said he has no shot, blah, blah,
• 20:19
  blah, you know?
• 20:20
  So...
• 20:22
  Anyway,
• 20:23
  and we actually had this later in
• 20:24
  the rundown,
• 20:25
  but Colton has announced that
• 20:27
  he is doing the grid league
• 20:28
  on the Houston team for at
• 20:30
  least two matches in like June, I think.
• 20:36
  Wow.
• 20:38
  He'll be excellent at that.
• 20:43
  Well, I think it's great for Colton.
• 20:46
  And it's probably great for
• 20:46
  the grid league, right?
• 20:48
  Yes.
• 20:48
  The more exposure Colton
• 20:50
  gets to different audiences, I think the,
• 20:54
  the better for his brand.
• 20:56
  And he's not someone that
• 20:57
  would go around and say, I have a brand,
• 20:58
  but you know,
• 21:00
  he's turned into a cult hero,
• 21:03
  a celebrity in the sport.
• 21:05
  And the more people that see
• 21:06
  that and see the way he
• 21:07
  goes about business,
• 21:09
  I think the better for him.
• 21:11
  I liked his last post of a
• 21:13
  trolling hopper too.
• 21:16
  Oh man, that has, I like sort of media.
• 21:20
  I just randomly opened up
• 21:22
  Instagram and had hoppers.
• 21:24
  I don't know.
• 21:26
  Trash talking clean video.
• 21:27
  I don't even know what that was.
• 21:28
  I was like, what is happening?
• 21:30
  What did I miss?
• 21:33
  Did you see Colton's response?
• 21:35
  Him like sitting in a chair,
• 21:36
  like what's good on the
• 21:37
  crop and on Instagram to get it.
• 21:39
  And he's like, that's enough Instagram.
• 21:40
  Yeah.
• 21:41
  Yeah.
• 21:45
  He just plays the game so well.
• 21:47
  He does.
• 21:49
  He really does.
• 21:53
  It was really funny.
• 21:56
  But I actually, like,
• 22:00
  I was thinking that with
• 22:03
  Colton going to grid and
• 22:05
  doing a couple matches and, like,
• 22:07
  Tia doing high rocks,
• 22:08
  why can't we all just get along?
• 22:11
  Yeah.
• 22:13
  It's all fitness, right?
• 22:14
  Yep.
• 22:16
  It's all complimentary to
• 22:19
  CrossFit because it's
• 22:20
  variations of CrossFit is what it is.
• 22:24
  And the more we work together,
• 22:26
  the better off all three will be.
• 22:29
  Instead of fighting with each other.
• 22:34
  Yeah,
• 22:34
  it should just be go train an
• 22:36
  affiliate and you can
• 22:37
  compete at these High Rocks
• 22:39
  events and this is what's
• 22:40
  going on in grid and we
• 22:42
  should be like essentially helping feed
• 22:45
  affiliates in the gyms
• 22:47
  because those are the
• 22:48
  spaces that people need to
• 22:49
  train versus a global gym
• 22:51
  like everything's there
• 22:53
  right right we we could it
• 22:56
  could really benefit every
• 22:58
  piece of it because you
• 23:01
  know most of the grid
• 23:01
  league players are started
• 23:04
  an affiliate right they
• 23:08
  started doing crossfit and then
• 23:11
  they got recruited to do this thing.
• 23:13
  Cause they,
• 23:13
  they're really good at one
• 23:14
  thing or really, I don't know.
• 23:18
  Yeah.
• 23:18
  They're special.
• 23:19
  They're specialists.
• 23:21
  Plenty's regular,
• 23:22
  regularly learn and play new sports.
• 23:26
  Yeah.
• 23:26
  I get back to the, the pyramid, right?
• 23:28
  That's the tip of the pyramid.
• 23:30
  Get outside the gym, do other things.
• 23:32
  My gosh,
• 23:33
  Carolyn's played every sport under
• 23:34
  the sun.
• 23:38
  And she's a,
• 23:39
  she's a better athlete for it.
• 23:46
  So, Ken, if there's no fighting,
• 23:52
  then there goes all the podcasts,
• 23:54
  not much content.
• 23:58
  Yeah.
• 23:58
  Well,
• 24:02
  we could still talk about who's going
• 24:03
  to win events and who's
• 24:05
  doing well and actually do analysis.
• 24:11
  Denise is going to go play pickleball.
• 24:14
  That is a fun sport.
• 24:14
  It is fun.
• 24:21
  And I guess Brinson making the rounds.
• 24:23
  So he was at mayhem.
• 24:25
  He's at the proven one.
• 24:27
  I think he's just like in
• 24:28
  the Nashville or Tennessee area.
• 24:32
  Yeah,
• 24:32
  I'm wondering if he's gonna be at the
• 24:33
  classic mayhem classic this week.
• 24:36
  Like why not?
• 24:36
  Yeah, that's possible.
• 24:42
  Is he still sort of working with Shelby?
• 24:44
  I know they weren't.
• 24:47
  I'm understanding that it
• 24:48
  was his coaches working with Shelby.
• 24:50
  Yeah,
• 24:50
  but I feel like she said she could
• 24:53
  talk to him.
• 24:56
  Maybe he's more willing to
• 24:57
  take on that role if he
• 24:59
  isn't competing anymore.
• 25:00
  I don't know.
• 25:05
  I think if you're
• 25:06
  representing the athletes...
• 25:09
  That's true.
• 25:10
  You shouldn't be a player.
• 25:12
  I think him retiring was the
• 25:13
  best thing for the PFAA
• 25:15
  because then there's no
• 25:16
  conflict of interest.
• 25:20
  But I don't know.
• 25:23
  Yeah.
• 25:26
  There is no point in having
• 25:27
  all this fitness if all you
• 25:28
  do is work out in the gym.
• 25:34
  Larry says,
• 25:34
  if you guys think John was
• 25:35
  rough on the panchex fitness,
• 25:37
  you should see what he says about me.
• 25:40
  Family's always the worst.
• 25:43
  At least you can be honest
• 25:44
  with your family.
• 25:46
  Craig says Shelby is HWPO.
• 25:49
  When did that happen?
• 25:50
  I did not see that.
• 25:52
  I have not seen that either.
• 25:54
  Is he questioning?
• 25:55
  Oh, go ahead.
• 25:57
  Well, I see there's a question mark.
• 25:58
  So is he questioning whether
• 26:00
  Shelby is HWPO?
• 26:04
  I don't think so.
• 26:05
  Yeah, I didn't think so either.
• 26:09
  I know she like hangs out
• 26:10
  with the EMOM group,
• 26:12
  but it's not really a camp.
• 26:17
  They just kind of hang out
• 26:17
  and do weekends together.
• 26:20
  And Andrew Hiller confirms it's wrong.
• 26:22
  She is not.
• 26:22
  Yeah.
• 26:23
  I didn't.
• 26:23
  Yeah.
• 26:26
  I didn't think so.
• 26:30
  I was,
• 26:30
  I'm pretty sure she's still with
• 26:31
  Brent's coaches.
• 26:33
  Yeah.
• 26:34
  Have like a group name.
• 26:42
  Anyway.
• 26:43
  I'm losing light.
• 26:45
  Yeah, you are.
• 26:46
  It's getting dark in Mexico.
• 26:47
  It is.
• 26:49
  All right.
• 26:50
  I'm going to let you guys go.
• 26:52
  Okay.
• 26:52
  Sounds good.
• 26:52
  Have fun.
• 26:53
  Have a good dinner.
• 26:53
  You're flying back tomorrow, right?
• 26:56
  Yes.
• 26:57
  Have a safe trip.
• 26:58
  Thank you.
• 26:59
  All right.
• 26:59
  Bye, guys.
• 27:00
  All right.
• 27:09
  it's not, let me kick her out.
• 27:11
  Okay.
• 27:13
  So I have a frozen screen.
• 27:15
  Like, uh,
• 27:16
  the boys interrupted uninterrupted.
• 27:19
  What is their podcast?
• 27:20
  Yeah.
• 27:20
  Boys.
• 27:20
  It was two James.
• 27:23
  Oh my gosh.
• 27:25
  Yeah.
• 27:25
  The world is not ready for two James.
• 27:27
  There we go.
• 27:28
  There you go.
• 27:30
  Um,
• 27:32
  the next thing I was going to talk
• 27:33
  about is crash Crescendo, uh,
• 27:35
  which happened this weekend.
• 27:37
  Um, and, uh,
• 27:39
  It's really the only time that, well,
• 27:42
  I think Syndicate Crown,
• 27:43
  they get to come as a team as well.
• 27:46
  But it's one of the few
• 27:48
  times the teams actually
• 27:49
  get to compete in person this year.
• 27:52
  And so there were some elite
• 27:54
  teams that competed.
• 27:56
  And I will pull up their
• 27:58
  Instagram that showed the podium of that.
• 28:01
  The Mayhem team won, right?
• 28:05
  Correct.
• 28:05
  Correct.
• 28:07
  So this is the podium.
• 28:11
  And so the first place team, whoop,
• 28:13
  that is not them.
• 28:15
  I don't know where I'm at now.
• 28:17
  Shoot, went to the wrong one.
• 28:19
  Let me back this out.
• 28:26
  Did they broadcast it at all this year?
• 28:29
  I did not see anything anywhere.
• 28:31
  I didn't hear or see anything about it.
• 28:32
  That's why I wasn't.
• 28:34
  I just saw the one picture.
• 28:36
  Sorry.
• 28:40
  There we go.
• 28:40
  Okay.
• 28:41
  That was it.
• 28:41
  I hadn't heard about it all weekend.
• 28:42
  Really?
• 28:44
  Um,
• 28:44
  so mayhem one and that's Angelo and a
• 28:49
  Molly and Sam.
• 28:52
  And I can never remember her name.
• 28:55
  It's in my notes, but I can't see it.
• 28:57
  Hold on.
• 28:58
  Uh, Zoe, Sam Demeester, Zoe Jones, Luke.
• 29:02
  No, Molly McGrandy and Angelo DiCicco.
• 29:07
  Then we have in second place
• 29:11
  was the EMOM Company,
• 29:13
  which was the Franco's group in the open.
• 29:17
  And that's Hannah Hardy, Samantha Pugh,
• 29:19
  Josh Matz, and Jordan Kerr.
• 29:21
  They're on the left,
• 29:22
  and I'll try to move that over.
• 29:25
  I've got too many screens open.
• 29:31
  And then, so that is this team over here.
• 29:36
  Then on the right,
• 29:37
  we have the third place team,
• 29:40
  which is CrossFit Motown.
• 29:42
  And I know that it is, wow,
• 29:44
  that is not working well.
• 29:49
  It is Caroline Klutz and Stevie Edinger,
• 29:51
  Dellinger, sorry,
• 29:53
  Stevie Dellinger and Caroline Klutz.
• 29:55
  But I do not know who the two men are.
• 29:57
  And nothing is tagged in any
• 29:59
  of the photos to tell that.
• 30:03
  And none of the previews had
• 30:05
  this team even near the podium.
• 30:09
  Well, those two girls are really good,
• 30:11
  though.
• 30:11
  They're Masters athletes, but they're fit.
• 30:14
  Very, very fit.
• 30:16
  Really good.
• 30:16
  So that's not surprising
• 30:17
  that they would do well.
• 30:18
  But I don't know the depth
• 30:20
  of the teams there.
• 30:21
  How do the teams qualify to
• 30:23
  the games this year?
• 30:23
  Is it just through the online semis,
• 30:25
  or is there any spots in person?
• 30:28
  It's online semis only.
• 30:29
  Oh, wow.
• 30:30
  Yeah.
• 30:31
  Yeah.
• 30:33
  so that's what I um that's
• 30:36
  what I said in like our
• 30:37
  notes like are are we
• 30:39
  phasing team out with
• 30:41
  crossfit uh by not having
• 30:44
  anything in person it
• 30:45
  really makes it hard for it
• 30:46
  to gain any traction at all
• 30:48
  and it just seems like
• 30:49
  they're giving up by making
• 30:51
  it an online thing the
• 30:53
  whole way until you get to
• 30:53
  the games yeah because like
• 30:55
  if like people were barely watching it
• 30:58
  Before, I mean,
• 30:59
  they'd watch it because of
• 31:01
  Rich's team and to see
• 31:03
  either them win or they
• 31:04
  were rooting for other
• 31:05
  teams to see them go down, right?
• 31:06
  Like,
• 31:07
  Rich brought a lot of eyes to the teams.
• 31:10
  But if they're not going to
• 31:11
  showcase anything prior to
• 31:14
  just them being at the CrossFit Games,
• 31:16
  it's such a, like,
• 31:17
  it's just like a filler time, basically,
• 31:21
  at the Games is what it is.
• 31:24
  Yeah.
• 31:25
  Like, for the fans that'll, like,
• 31:27
  the real fans will, like,
• 31:28
  excited to watch but I don't
• 31:31
  know I feel like it's yeah
• 31:32
  it's definitely phasing
• 31:34
  andrew stent asked the
• 31:35
  question teams go in the
• 31:36
  way of the age groups and
• 31:37
  adaptive and eventually
• 31:38
  move away from individual I
• 31:41
  could see that but yeah
• 31:45
  I heard Dave say before the
• 31:47
  games last year,
• 31:48
  so that seems like another lifetime.
• 31:52
  But he said that eventually
• 31:54
  he would like to have the
• 31:55
  teams in individual two
• 31:56
  different seasons where
• 31:58
  athletes could compete in both.
• 32:01
  I mean, you would want to see the top,
• 32:05
  top teams,
• 32:06
  but it would be the same people.
• 32:10
  The thing about having the
• 32:11
  teams at the same time is
• 32:12
  it allows more...
• 32:14
  athletes in the space to
• 32:16
  dream about going to the CrossFit Games.
• 32:18
  If you all of a sudden just
• 32:20
  make it where it'll be
• 32:21
  actually the best teams in the world,
• 32:24
  where the individual
• 32:24
  athletes will team up and
• 32:26
  train together for the teams,
• 32:28
  I just think it's going to
• 32:32
  kill the hope of like a lot
• 32:36
  of athletes that just like
• 32:38
  will give up and I think
• 32:39
  that you know if you want
• 32:41
  more people to spend on
• 32:42
  crossfit like those comp
• 32:43
  like those local comps and
• 32:45
  um and the sport like I
• 32:47
  think people just going
• 32:49
  together on a team and
• 32:50
  competing locally and
• 32:51
  regionally like that that grows the sport
• 32:55
  a lot more, but you'd,
• 32:57
  you'd have better teams though, for sure.
• 32:58
  I think that the teams just
• 33:00
  need something new, like a new flavor,
• 33:03
  like teams of,
• 33:04
  I don't know if it's teams of three,
• 33:05
  if it's kind of like that
• 33:07
  tier water Palooza,
• 33:09
  SoCal format that we saw.
• 33:13
  But just maybe,
• 33:13
  I just think it needs
• 33:15
  something different and
• 33:16
  maybe that's what needs to
• 33:17
  happen to the team.
• 33:18
  So like every, however many years,
• 33:21
  like teams of six,
• 33:21
  then it goes back to teams of four,
• 33:23
  then whatever,
• 33:24
  you kind of get bored of
• 33:24
  that and what you can do
• 33:26
  with teams of four.
• 33:26
  So you need to change it up,
• 33:28
  but it's just blocked.
• 33:32
  So I think,
• 33:34
  and I I'm going off on a
• 33:35
  tangent here a little bit,
• 33:36
  but if you remember back in
• 33:39
  the regional days,
• 33:40
  teams were big because the
• 33:43
  regional competitions were
• 33:44
  close enough to many of
• 33:46
  those affiliates where
• 33:47
  people could come and watch
• 33:49
  their affiliate team compete and
• 33:52
  And it would get loud for teams.
• 33:54
  Like I know here in Columbus,
• 33:57
  like we would have
• 33:58
  Friendship CrossFit and
• 33:59
  CrossFit Grandview and Polaris there.
• 34:02
  And they hated each other at those things,
• 34:05
  at those events.
• 34:06
  And it would get loud and it
• 34:08
  would get boisterous.
• 34:10
  And in order to have a
• 34:12
  vested interest in a team,
• 34:14
  you have to create some
• 34:15
  kind of connection.
• 34:17
  And so I think that
• 34:19
  Clooney's has the best thing.
• 34:20
  Like we need to do national teams,
• 34:23
  not regional teams.
• 34:25
  People would definitely watch that.
• 34:26
  And I think they would, you,
• 34:28
  you could have USA one,
• 34:29
  USA two and USA three.
• 34:31
  You could have Europe one, Europe two,
• 34:33
  Europe three, or whatever,
• 34:34
  or even individual countries.
• 34:36
  You could have France and Italy.
• 34:37
  Or you have like, like in the hockey world,
• 34:40
  sometimes they have like the,
• 34:41
  under twenty twos and the
• 34:43
  under whatever and you have
• 34:45
  some like up and comers
• 34:47
  like the rookies type thing
• 34:48
  make a team yeah I think
• 34:51
  that would be way better
• 34:52
  and it kind of brings back
• 34:53
  the invitational like ideas
• 34:58
  that they had before but
• 34:59
  just make it a little bit a
• 35:01
  little bit bigger I think
• 35:02
  that would be though and it
• 35:04
  would be it would be insane
• 35:07
  Yeah,
• 35:07
  I think people would get behind that.
• 35:09
  Because regardless of
• 35:10
  whether you would know what's happening,
• 35:12
  you have an interest in
• 35:15
  rooting for your country or certain, yeah,
• 35:17
  like basically your country and stuff.
• 35:21
  I think that would really work.
• 35:23
  Yeah.
• 35:27
  I really think that that is
• 35:28
  probably the answer for
• 35:29
  teams going forward.
• 35:30
  And it's a way to develop
• 35:32
  young talent and get them
• 35:34
  out on the floor.
• 35:35
  And they're representing their country.
• 35:37
  And they tried to do that in
• 35:40
  two thousand nineteen with
• 35:41
  individuals where it was
• 35:42
  more about your country because
• 35:44
  If you won your country's thing,
• 35:46
  you got to come to the games.
• 35:48
  And it was more Olympic in
• 35:49
  this big pomp and circumstance.
• 35:52
  It only had one year to try
• 35:53
  it out before COVID.
• 35:55
  And then it went away.
• 35:57
  And I'm not saying that that's the answer,
• 35:59
  letting everybody come again.
• 36:01
  But adding nationality to
• 36:05
  this sport will make people
• 36:07
  have a more vested interest in who wins.
• 36:11
  I mean,
• 36:11
  you and I scrap about the
• 36:13
  Canada-USA hockey game, right?
• 36:16
  Because we have pride in the
• 36:17
  countries we grew up in.
• 36:24
  Do you like hockey World Cup?
• 36:26
  Have pool play before you
• 36:27
  get to the final eight to a
• 36:28
  tournament format?
• 36:29
  Country versus country matches.
• 36:31
  see I've seen I've seen
• 36:32
  comps do like the
• 36:33
  head-to-head matches and I
• 36:35
  just like as much as I love
• 36:36
  it for other sports it
• 36:38
  doesn't really fall under
• 36:39
  our sport because it's
• 36:40
  we're not about like a one
• 36:42
  workout elimination style
• 36:45
  because it's about which
• 36:46
  team is the fittest and
• 36:48
  that's why I don't like the
• 36:49
  cuts because when you take
• 36:51
  when you have cuts and events like
• 36:54
  you have to be able to do
• 36:55
  the whole test and then
• 36:56
  it's who is the best.
• 36:59
  Cause it just so happens that you pick,
• 37:01
  you know,
• 37:01
  you can have one in number two
• 37:02
  play against each other.
• 37:03
  And that that's cool for regular sports,
• 37:06
  but not in this.
• 37:07
  I don't think it works in
• 37:08
  the sport of fitness to
• 37:09
  have elimination styles like that.
• 37:15
  Yeah,
• 37:15
  but you could have like a regionals level,
• 37:18
  like a semifinals,
• 37:20
  where you're the teams that
• 37:21
  make it out of Europe.
• 37:23
  You're the teams that make
• 37:23
  it out of the U.S.
• 37:26
  You're the teams that make
• 37:27
  it out of Australia.
• 37:28
  Yeah,
• 37:28
  as long as you go through like your
• 37:30
  whole workouts, and then it's like, okay,
• 37:31
  these are the qualifying
• 37:32
  teams that are there,
• 37:33
  and it's like before.
• 37:35
  Yeah.
• 37:35
  Yeah.
• 37:35
  There.
• 37:38
  We solved that.
• 37:41
  The next thing that came out this week,
• 37:43
  and we'll just make this a quick hitter,
• 37:45
  that is the broadcast team
• 37:46
  was announced for WFP.
• 37:49
  It is... I like Carolyn's
• 37:54
  idea of formatting it like Tier Cup,
• 37:55
  larger teams,
• 37:56
  but each event had different
• 37:58
  people from the teams competing.
• 38:01
  I don't dislike that.
• 38:05
  Yeah.
• 38:05
  The broadcast team.
• 38:06
  We talked about this briefly,
• 38:08
  but they've added more
• 38:09
  people to the list.
• 38:11
  And it is Jeremy Austin is
• 38:12
  the play-by-play.
• 38:13
  Tommy Marquez is the color.
• 38:15
  Gabby Magala is the analyst.
• 38:18
  Lauren Smith will be
• 38:19
  sidelines for the elite and
• 38:21
  the challenger divisions.
• 38:22
  Amy Bream would be sideline
• 38:24
  for the community events.
• 38:28
  I like Amy Bream on the sideline.
• 38:31
  I think they should give her
• 38:32
  more of an opportunity,
• 38:33
  and maybe they will.
• 38:35
  But she was great at the adaptive games.
• 38:40
  The whole cast looks, looks very good.
• 38:42
  I think it's going to be a,
• 38:43
  it's going to be really good.
• 38:44
  Uh,
• 38:45
  then the studio show will be Derek
• 38:47
  Forrest, Annie Thor's daughter, Katrin,
• 38:49
  David's daughter, and Seth page.
• 38:52
  That was a little bit of a shocker for me.
• 38:54
  Yeah.
• 38:54
  That,
• 38:55
  that one kind of got thrown out there
• 38:56
  and you know,
• 38:57
  I've obviously seen him on
• 38:58
  some of the podcasts
• 38:59
  talking about programming
• 39:00
  and stuff like that.
• 39:00
  And he's got a lot of experience, um,
• 39:03
  in that department.
• 39:04
  So I think that's,
• 39:05
  that's cool to have a new face and, um,
• 39:08
  in the space of, or in this team.
• 39:12
  I didn't know he was one of
• 39:13
  the creators of misfit.
• 39:14
  Yeah.
• 39:16
  Uh, yeah.
• 39:17
  So he goes back a long time.
• 39:19
  Uh, so yeah, I, I re I've heard, uh,
• 39:26
  I've never been the biggest
• 39:27
  Catrin fan in the world,
• 39:28
  but she has been really
• 39:30
  good when she has been
• 39:31
  asked to analyze things at events.
• 39:34
  And I think that she will do
• 39:36
  an amazing job.
• 39:38
  Um, Annie,
• 39:41
  I haven't heard her really get
• 39:42
  into the nuts and bolts of things,
• 39:44
  but she's a really good
• 39:45
  storyteller about stuff
• 39:46
  that's happened in the past.
• 39:48
  And maybe that's what her
• 39:49
  role will be with this group.
• 39:51
  Um,
• 39:52
  and then I do like Seth as someone who
• 39:54
  looks at, uh,
• 39:59
  at the nuts and bolts of
• 39:59
  programming and all of that stuff.
• 40:03
  Yeah,
• 40:04
  I think it'll be a good group to analyze.
• 40:08
  And Gabby, too, in there was surprised.
• 40:12
  But I'm happy that they've
• 40:13
  involved her into the season.
• 40:16
  It will be interesting to
• 40:17
  see her take on the women's
• 40:20
  field and stuff like that.
• 40:22
  Yeah.
• 40:24
  And then they've announced
• 40:25
  that they're going to do
• 40:25
  several translations of the broadcast.
• 40:29
  Spanish, French, Portuguese, German,
• 40:30
  Italian, Russian, Arabic,
• 40:32
  and South Korean.
• 40:33
  Is that just with AI?
• 40:35
  I believe it is.
• 40:36
  And I'm actually curious because you,
• 40:38
  you speak fluent French, right?
• 40:40
  Yeah.
• 40:41
  So if you'd like tuned into the French,
• 40:42
  you'd be able to know if
• 40:44
  the AI was accurate or not.
• 40:46
  Yeah.
• 40:49
  I'm anxious to see what happens there.
• 40:51
  I'm sure it'll be pretty accurate.
• 40:53
  Okay.
• 40:57
  I just,
• 40:59
  and this is kind of a small tangent.
• 41:01
  I have a friend who's a
• 41:02
  college professor and I
• 41:03
  asked her a long time ago, like,
• 41:05
  can you tell if students
• 41:06
  use AI to write a paper?
• 41:09
  And she said that the
• 41:11
  dialect is not correct.
• 41:13
  Like AI doesn't know.
• 41:18
  slang or the dialect of
• 41:21
  certain pieces of it right
• 41:23
  and so it becomes easier to
• 41:25
  know that it's it was done
• 41:27
  by not a human you can like
• 41:30
  enter it into different
• 41:32
  things to see how much
• 41:33
  percentage of their work is
• 41:35
  through ai like there's
• 41:37
  programs like that yeah but
• 41:39
  it's it's tough to detect though
• 41:42
  Like at school,
• 41:43
  like a lot of the language
• 41:46
  classes have like avoided
• 41:47
  using certain computers
• 41:49
  during work because people
• 41:51
  just literally put
• 41:53
  everything through chat GPT
• 41:55
  and it just generates everything,
• 41:57
  all their ideas and like
• 42:01
  literally anything.
• 42:01
  Yeah.
• 42:04
  It's better for me in math
• 42:05
  because they just have math tests.
• 42:07
  So I guess they don't really
• 42:08
  have access to.
• 42:09
  chat GPT there.
• 42:10
  They could put their homework through it,
• 42:12
  but not really during tests.
• 42:15
  So, yeah.
• 42:18
  So the next thing is, uh,
• 42:19
  Emma Lawson is joining brute.
• 42:22
  Uh, I, I watched a little bit of, um,
• 42:24
  Dallin's video saying that
• 42:25
  they had a special guest in, um,
• 42:28
  but I have,
• 42:29
  I have a really hard time just
• 42:30
  watching straight workout videos.
• 42:32
  Um,
• 42:33
  Um, and that's what that one was.
• 42:35
  Um,
• 42:35
  I wanted something more like boys
• 42:37
  interrupted with Emma kind
• 42:38
  of hanging out and I didn't get that.
• 42:42
  So it doesn't really tell
• 42:43
  you much about why or what,
• 42:45
  or they're just kind of
• 42:46
  working out together.
• 42:48
  Yeah.
• 42:48
  She basically just said that
• 42:49
  it was a young group that
• 42:51
  came up through like the
• 42:52
  teen CrossFit games and they've,
• 42:55
  they've done well,
• 42:57
  essentially balancing that transition and,
• 43:01
  and life, but.
• 43:03
  um yeah she didn't speak
• 43:06
  very much like in depth
• 43:08
  about her decision and if
• 43:09
  she looked at else like
• 43:11
  what other camp she looked
• 43:12
  at and um but I wasn't
• 43:18
  expecting her to get too
• 43:18
  deep into it in terms of
• 43:20
  well and if if she's smart
• 43:23
  she'll do it on her own
• 43:24
  podcast right like get the
• 43:29
  views for yourself and not yeah
• 43:33
  Um,
• 43:33
  cause I think people would tune in to
• 43:34
  hear why she picked them or,
• 43:38
  and who knows?
• 43:41
  I mean, they've had a lot of success.
• 43:43
  Well, they certainly have.
• 43:45
  They've been the best, um,
• 43:48
  the best camp really as of
• 43:50
  the last couple of years in
• 43:52
  terms of the quality of
• 43:55
  athletes they've brought to the games.
• 43:57
  Like, not in terms of quantity,
• 43:59
  but just everyone's doing
• 44:01
  extremely well and
• 44:02
  excelling at that camp.
• 44:03
  So they're doing something well.
• 44:08
  Ken Walter says,
• 44:09
  universities have had for a
• 44:11
  while now to scan papers if
• 44:12
  plagiarism took place.
• 44:15
  My son's hockey team found
• 44:16
  out the hard way.
• 44:22
  Yeah.
• 44:24
  I was so afraid of plagiarism in college.
• 44:27
  So afraid.
• 44:28
  Like I footnoted so many,
• 44:30
  I probably over footnoted.
• 44:31
  It was like, if you're not,
• 44:34
  if you're not sure, just cite it.
• 44:36
  Like that's how we were taught.
• 44:41
  Don't take a chance.
• 44:43
  Yeah.
• 44:45
  All right.
• 44:45
  So this week is mayhem week.
• 44:48
  Um,
• 44:49
  they have two spots for the games on
• 44:50
  the women's and men's side.
• 44:53
  Um,
• 44:54
  before we get into who you think is
• 44:56
  going to get the tickets
• 44:57
  and who's your dark horse, uh,
• 44:59
  they put out a schedule and
• 45:00
  I want to talk to you about this.
• 45:02
  So they really only have on Saturday,
• 45:06
  a three to eight PM window
• 45:09
  for the three events.
• 45:12
  And on Sunday it is, uh, noon to five,
• 45:20
  So they have really brought
• 45:22
  down the window in which
• 45:23
  the events are going to occur.
• 45:25
  And I've heard Rich say on
• 45:26
  his podcast before that we
• 45:29
  expect people to stay too
• 45:31
  long through the weekends to watch.
• 45:33
  And so they're really trying
• 45:34
  to compress it down to two
• 45:36
  days and two smaller
• 45:38
  windows to watch the events.
• 45:42
  One,
• 45:42
  do you think that's the right way to go?
• 45:44
  And two,
• 45:45
  do you think that we'll see that
• 45:47
  play out this coming weekend?
• 45:50
  I actually like that better personally,
• 45:52
  as an athlete, I find like, well,
• 45:53
  most of my training
• 45:54
  sessions are condensed like that anyways.
• 45:56
  And I think a lot of
• 45:57
  people's training sessions,
• 45:58
  like they're able to do multiple wads, um,
• 46:01
  not like right back to back,
• 46:03
  but with a little bit less rest,
• 46:05
  like I find it's hard
• 46:06
  sometimes having such a
• 46:08
  large gap between an event.
• 46:10
  like bringing your body back down,
• 46:12
  having to rewarm up like a bunch.
• 46:14
  And you almost get that
• 46:16
  soreness that just starts
• 46:18
  taking place because you're
• 46:19
  waiting so long.
• 46:20
  So I don't mind it for the viewer side.
• 46:22
  I think it's better as well, too.
• 46:24
  Like you allow people to go
• 46:25
  visit the city and do other things, too,
• 46:28
  because you're not just at
• 46:30
  an arena or a venue for the entire day.
• 46:33
  So I think it's more
• 46:35
  digestible in terms of a
• 46:37
  fan and to sell that broadcast as well.
• 46:40
  So I think that's a good move on them.
• 46:43
  And for the stream purposes, for me,
• 46:47
  if they're not even starting till three,
• 46:49
  I can go do something with
• 46:50
  Julie in the morning and then come back.
• 46:53
  And then if I sit down to
• 46:55
  watch some CrossFit,
• 46:56
  she's not going to be like, oh,
• 46:58
  you've done it all day.
• 46:59
  I haven't had you at all this weekend.
• 47:01
  Like, honestly, as a husband,
• 47:03
  it's going to make my life
• 47:04
  a whole lot easier that I'm not like,
• 47:08
  tuned in for an entire
• 47:09
  weekend and tuned out from
• 47:12
  her and the family.
• 47:14
  Yeah.
• 47:14
  And people can get their
• 47:15
  workouts in early in the morning too,
• 47:16
  and then go enjoy the rest
• 47:18
  of the competition.
• 47:20
  They did,
• 47:20
  you know what they had to do for
• 47:22
  their own fitness.
• 47:24
  Yeah.
• 47:25
  I'm excited.
• 47:26
  I hope it's successful and
• 47:27
  that they can put together
• 47:28
  a programming that gets the
• 47:31
  right people to the games
• 47:33
  and they do it in two days
• 47:35
  and that short compressed window.
• 47:37
  Yeah,
• 47:37
  I wouldn't be too worried about them
• 47:39
  putting together good
• 47:41
  programming to get the right two.
• 47:42
  I think it'll be a well-run event.
• 47:46
  Did you see that they added
• 47:48
  Sean Woodland as well, too,
• 47:50
  to their broadcast team?
• 47:52
  I did not see it officially.
• 47:54
  I just saw Vi tell me.
• 47:55
  Yeah, so they have Rich, they have Angelo,
• 48:00
  and they also have Sean
• 48:01
  calling the action.
• 48:03
  Very cool.
• 48:04
  Yeah.
• 48:06
  Very cool.
• 48:06
  The other two in line.
• 48:08
  Yeah.
• 48:10
  They are off the chain with
• 48:11
  these videos that they're
• 48:12
  doing with the suit coats
• 48:14
  and shorts and the headgear
• 48:17
  and the headsets with the
• 48:20
  real and fake workout announcements.
• 48:24
  We only have one official
• 48:26
  workout announcement.
• 48:29
  Two.
• 48:29
  Do we have two?
• 48:30
  I just checked like at two o'clock today.
• 48:32
  Well, Isabelle.
• 48:34
  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 48:35
  You're right.
• 48:36
  Heavy Isabel.
• 48:37
  And then we have event one,
• 48:39
  which is three rounds for time.
• 48:40
  Eight hundred meter run.
• 48:42
  Twenty burpee box getovers
• 48:45
  at forty eight inches and
• 48:46
  forty feet sack squats.
• 48:49
  One hundred and seventy.
• 48:52
  Forty feet or twenty twenty
• 48:54
  squats or forty.
• 48:56
  Twenty burpee box getovers
• 48:58
  and forty feed sack squats.
• 49:01
  I heard feet feed.
• 49:03
  Yeah.
• 49:04
  Feed sack squats.
• 49:05
  Yeah.
• 49:06
  Yeah.
• 49:07
  It's that sandbag.
• 49:11
  And it's the burden run.
• 49:12
  Yeah.
• 49:13
  The only that's, you know,
• 49:14
  such an advantage for the
• 49:15
  athletes that are already
• 49:16
  there is it's like because
• 49:18
  they say like it's like
• 49:19
  seven hundred and fifty ish.
• 49:20
  Like the athletes that are there,
• 49:22
  I'm sure know exactly where
• 49:23
  that course is.
• 49:25
  And they're able to practice
• 49:26
  that terrain and know
• 49:28
  exactly the distance, where it is.
• 49:31
  So there's definitely a home
• 49:32
  field advantage there for
• 49:35
  the athletes that know the course,
• 49:38
  the terrain and everything.
• 49:39
  But that's a great first event.
• 49:41
  I think very classic mayhem
• 49:45
  with the burpee box getovers as well.
• 49:49
  yeah total um it's funny
• 49:52
  because I was at the the
• 49:54
  one and only mayhem classic
• 49:55
  in uh and I I think they
• 49:59
  had the big burpee box get
• 50:00
  over there they had the run
• 50:03
  um but there was a trail
• 50:04
  run and it was actually
• 50:06
  off-site when they did that
• 50:09
  so that'll be interesting
• 50:10
  um I think the other thing
• 50:11
  that's interesting and
• 50:12
  denise brought this up is
• 50:13
  wonder if they have any
• 50:14
  masters doing semis at
• 50:15
  mayhem aren't they doing
• 50:16
  the comp at the gym
• 50:18
  They are doing the comp at the gym,
• 50:19
  but because the athletes
• 50:22
  don't have to be there until,
• 50:25
  I think there's a little
• 50:26
  bit of time if people want
• 50:27
  to do workouts in the morning.
• 50:36
  Yeah, it'd be early in the morning.
• 50:39
  Lynn,
• 50:40
  there's only one workout listed at
• 50:42
  this point,
• 50:42
  and it's what we just read to you,
• 50:44
  and it's on their Instagram.
• 50:46
  Now,
• 50:46
  there's a bunch of other kind of like
• 50:47
  fake outs of Rich doing memories past,
• 50:52
  but a couple of them have thrusters.
• 50:53
  You know they're not doing both of those.
• 50:56
  Talking about his three
• 50:57
  hundred and five pound snatch.
• 51:00
  Talking about the rope climb
• 51:01
  thruster workout at the games.
• 51:04
  But I think they're all kind
• 51:05
  of like faking until they
• 51:07
  make the formal announcement.
• 51:11
  Or just going down memory lane.
• 51:14
  Who knows?
• 51:16
  But it's weird they put it
• 51:17
  on the Mayhem Classic
• 51:18
  Instagram and not on the
• 51:19
  Mayhem or the Rich Instagram.
• 51:23
  But I think it should go on
• 51:24
  the Mayhem Classic one
• 51:25
  because that's the event.
• 51:27
  That's the one you should be
• 51:28
  getting the info from
• 51:29
  versus you have to follow
• 51:31
  their actual affiliate or
• 51:32
  their programming page.
• 51:34
  Yeah,
• 51:34
  I mean the memories with Rich that
• 51:36
  aren't really announcements of workouts.
• 51:39
  I think they're trying to...
• 51:42
  Build excitement and
• 51:43
  possibilities of what it could be.
• 51:49
  That could be a reason they
• 51:50
  condensed the window to
• 51:51
  make a time for Masters.
• 51:54
  Could be.
• 51:57
  They also have that extra...
• 51:59
  I'm assuming the extra
• 52:00
  piece is the warm-up area.
• 52:02
  And I... Well, we talked about that.
• 52:05
  The barn is not the affiliate.
• 52:07
  Well, I don't know.
• 52:09
  It could be an affiliate, but...
• 52:11
  They all like,
• 52:12
  they've always done workouts
• 52:14
  in the barn and every one
• 52:16
  of those athletes always
• 52:18
  wrote their workout as
• 52:19
  doing it from CrossFit Mayhem.
• 52:20
  Yeah.
• 52:20
  And I don't think you can,
• 52:24
  I don't think that you can have two, um,
• 52:32
  two different affiliates
• 52:33
  with the same name,
• 52:34
  like two different locations.
• 52:39
  right?
• 52:40
  I don't think you can.
• 52:49
  I have got a little itch in
• 52:50
  my throat trying to prevent
• 52:52
  it from getting to be a cough.
• 52:55
  So we're going to talk about the, who,
• 52:57
  who do we think is going to
• 52:58
  win the spots for the games?
• 53:01
  So I have a list of the men.
• 53:03
  I'll pull that up first.
• 53:11
  And then I will blow it up.
• 53:15
  So both are very deep fields.
• 53:18
  Even though people are not
• 53:19
  there anymore and then
• 53:21
  they've replaced them,
• 53:22
  both the men and women are
• 53:23
  very deep fields.
• 53:24
  I think the women is even
• 53:25
  deeper than the men.
• 53:28
  but we have roman krennikoff
• 53:30
  jason hopper gimi heroes
• 53:32
  james sprague samuel samuel
• 53:34
  corn why a fabian benito
• 53:36
  cellis uh austin hatfield
• 53:39
  nick matthew spencer
• 53:40
  pancheck jack farlow colton
• 53:42
  mertens jorge fernandez
• 53:44
  alex vigno jack rosema luke
• 53:46
  parker seth stovall royce
• 53:48
  dunn austin rick on me uh
• 53:52
  george sterner and cale layman
• 53:55
  And Guy and Jack are
• 53:59
  ineligible to make it to the games.
• 54:05
  So I ask you, Carolyn,
• 54:08
  who are your two to get the tickets?
• 54:10
  And do you have a dark horse pick?
• 54:14
  I think Hopper will get one.
• 54:18
  I think.
• 54:29
  I'm trying to think of what's coming up.
• 54:30
  There's going to be a Lynn.
• 54:32
  Only two can get tickets.
• 54:36
  And that, that math ain't math.
• 54:37
  And I mean,
• 54:39
  the ones that are really in
• 54:40
  contention is Colton, Austin,
• 54:45
  James Hopper and Roman pending,
• 54:49
  like something crazy happened.
• 54:52
  Um,
• 54:56
  It's hard to bet against
• 54:57
  Colton Martins right now.
• 54:58
  Like he's looking so good.
• 55:00
  You think that things that
• 55:01
  like he won't be as great at,
• 55:03
  and he's just filling those
• 55:05
  gaps and just proving
• 55:06
  everyone wrong for many
• 55:08
  different styles of workouts.
• 55:10
  I'll be interesting to see him do.
• 55:13
  I mean,
• 55:13
  like the snatch one should be good
• 55:15
  for him.
• 55:17
  The running one.
• 55:20
  Who knows, you know, with the,
• 55:22
  with the high burpee getovers,
• 55:23
  but like he's training those.
• 55:27
  jumps all the time,
• 55:28
  and I feel like he'll still
• 55:29
  be fast with the burpees.
• 55:31
  Some sort of dense rope
• 55:34
  climb workout is going to be coming up.
• 55:38
  That's where he might
• 55:41
  struggle in terms of the
• 55:43
  taller athletes that just
• 55:44
  can pull to the top a little bit faster.
• 55:49
  I like Hopper for most of these
• 55:52
  I'm going to still say Colton.
• 55:54
  I think that he's just
• 55:56
  looking too good right now.
• 55:57
  I don't want to bet against him.
• 55:58
  I'm going to go Colton and Jason.
• 56:01
  My doubts with Colton are
• 56:02
  erasing by the day.
• 56:06
  Vi actually read my paper.
• 56:11
  Um, Hopper and Mertens will get the spot.
• 56:14
  My dark horse is Sterner, George Sterner.
• 56:17
  I just think he's really
• 56:18
  come on strong in the open.
• 56:20
  He's got some momentum.
• 56:22
  He's got some confidence and
• 56:24
  that's just my dark horse to,
• 56:26
  to make some noise.
• 56:29
  Um, but, but Colton and Jason have,
• 56:32
  have been so good as of late.
• 56:34
  I it's hard for me to pick anybody else.
• 56:38
  and we don't know the programming yet.
• 56:40
  We know two of the events.
• 56:43
  And so without knowing the programming,
• 56:49
  that's who I'm going.
• 56:49
  The two,
• 56:50
  the two people who have performed
• 56:51
  the best as, as recently, uh, John Young,
• 56:56
  it's called the Hatfield
• 56:56
  Invitational for reason.
• 56:57
  It is not called that.
• 56:59
  And I am not backing that.
• 57:01
  And then John said,
• 57:02
  I probably should do well.
• 57:04
  He's, he's a good runner.
• 57:05
  He's very good.
• 57:07
  I mean, he trains with mayhem, uh,
• 57:10
  strong like I don't see
• 57:12
  anything kind of getting in
• 57:14
  the way of him qualifying
• 57:15
  here too like could be an
• 57:17
  execution thing which we
• 57:19
  have heard he had an issue
• 57:20
  with at the games but
• 57:22
  like there's not much room for error,
• 57:24
  especially if it's going to
• 57:25
  be those same five athletes
• 57:27
  within the top of almost every workout.
• 57:29
  This is the type of field
• 57:31
  that there's not many middling.
• 57:33
  So if you have one bad event, you really,
• 57:35
  it's, it's hard to come back from,
• 57:38
  but when you have a bigger field,
• 57:39
  sometimes you have more
• 57:40
  people that can get in between.
• 57:44
  I just,
• 57:45
  I just see those top five to five
• 57:47
  athletes really separating
• 57:50
  themselves early.
• 57:52
  Uh,
• 57:52
  John says Spencer Panjack is my dark
• 57:54
  horse.
• 57:54
  That is not the case.
• 57:56
  Um, but I,
• 57:57
  I know where you're coming from.
• 58:00
  I think a Luke Parker,
• 58:01
  Jack Rosema could do well
• 58:03
  as a dark horse too.
• 58:05
  Yeah.
• 58:08
  Now, if we go to the women, it's even,
• 58:12
  it's even worse and I
• 58:13
  didn't even need to do that.
• 58:14
  So, uh,
• 58:20
  Shrink this down.
• 58:21
  The women is so, this field is so deep.
• 58:26
  It is Daniel Brandon, Brooke Wells,
• 58:27
  Alexis Raptus, Emily Rolfe, Paige Semenza,
• 58:30
  Haley Adams, Mano Anganese,
• 58:32
  Christine Kolenbrander, Claudia Gluck,
• 58:35
  Abigail Domet, Paige Powers,
• 58:37
  Caroline Stanley, Shelby Neal,
• 58:39
  Andrea Nistler, Fisa Goffey,
• 58:41
  Nina Vrojovic, Victoria Campos,
• 58:45
  Lindsay Lane, Kira Miller, Hannah Black.
• 58:49
  And Paige Powers and
• 58:51
  Victoria Campos are not
• 58:52
  eligible to get games tickets.
• 59:01
  I think Danielle Brandon's
• 59:02
  going to get a spot here.
• 59:05
  John Young has a question.
• 59:07
  I think it's about the men.
• 59:08
  Maybe it's women.
• 59:09
  Do you think that sub four
• 59:10
  is possible on heavy Isabel?
• 59:13
  I haven't tested it.
• 59:14
  I mean,
• 59:14
  I wouldn't be a good tester for that,
• 59:16
  but not sure.
• 59:17
  I mean,
• 59:18
  you have Hannah Black in this field.
• 59:20
  who can snatch to want to.
• 59:23
  So if we're going to see it,
• 59:24
  I think we could see it at
• 59:26
  this semi-final here.
• 59:29
  Um,
• 59:31
  Christine Kolenbrenner is a great
• 59:32
  snatcher as well.
• 59:35
  Uh,
• 59:36
  there's a few in here that can
• 59:37
  definitely move some weight around,
• 59:40
  maybe less.
• 59:40
  So a lot of fit athletes,
• 59:42
  not as much of the stronger girls.
• 59:47
  Yeah.
• 59:47
  In this field.
• 59:48
  Like a lot of the gymnasts
• 59:49
  are in this field,
• 59:51
  which is good for mayhem.
• 59:53
  Cause you look, you, you look at,
• 59:54
  you look at this field and
• 59:55
  there's a lot of the Daniel brands,
• 59:58
  Brookwell's wrapped this role.
• 59:59
  Like that's gymnast right there.
• 1:00:01
  Haley Adams, luck, like a Shelby, no fee.
• 1:00:07
  Cold cold room.
• 1:00:08
  Brander could crush Isabel too.
• 1:00:13
  If she's healthy, if her back's healthy.
• 1:00:15
  Yeah,
• 1:00:15
  in terms of the weights here for the
• 1:00:19
  snatch event, I mean,
• 1:00:20
  Andrea is pretty strong too.
• 1:00:23
  Lynn says Alexis and Domet
• 1:00:25
  for her two spots.
• 1:00:27
  Yeah,
• 1:00:27
  I was going to say I like Daniel Brandon.
• 1:00:29
  I do like Alexis.
• 1:00:33
  And Domet was my third one here.
• 1:00:36
  I don't know where Haley
• 1:00:38
  Adams is in terms of her –
• 1:00:44
  fitness right now because
• 1:00:46
  like in the open she said
• 1:00:47
  that she wasn't as as ready
• 1:00:50
  um emily should do well
• 1:00:58
  just needs to survive I
• 1:00:59
  think the isabel one yeah
• 1:01:02
  but I think this is a good
• 1:01:03
  field for her to go against
• 1:01:05
  on that one if I'm being honest
• 1:01:09
  uh tristan jumps tristan
• 1:01:11
  patrick maybe the girls
• 1:01:12
  john for the sub four on
• 1:01:15
  heavy isabel like I could
• 1:01:16
  see a cursed at her if she
• 1:01:17
  was in the field with how
• 1:01:20
  well she moved that snatch
• 1:01:21
  at that um semi-final last
• 1:01:25
  year maybe she can do it is
• 1:01:29
  cursed at her in the field
• 1:01:30
  no no no I was just saying for a sub four
• 1:01:33
  trying to think of the strong athletes.
• 1:01:36
  That girl is freakish when
• 1:01:37
  it comes to strength.
• 1:01:38
  And yeah.
• 1:01:41
  Uh, Larry Young says, yeah, John,
• 1:01:42
  I just did it.
• 1:01:44
  Danielle has a bit like
• 1:01:46
  really good snatching and mobility too.
• 1:01:48
  And you don't have to squat it.
• 1:01:50
  Right.
• 1:01:50
  She should do well.
• 1:01:56
  Yeah.
• 1:01:57
  Um, wow.
• 1:01:57
  I, I have so far behind on comments now.
• 1:01:59
  Um, um,
• 1:02:05
  Lynn says you and her are
• 1:02:06
  always on the same wavelength.
• 1:02:11
  DB is her worst enemy.
• 1:02:13
  She always has one disaster, one workout,
• 1:02:15
  and then it's over.
• 1:02:15
  Not always.
• 1:02:16
  I wouldn't say that.
• 1:02:21
  She's won semifinals before.
• 1:02:25
  It's only been at the games
• 1:02:26
  where things kind of... So my picks are
• 1:02:35
  I'm sure I'm going to take grief for this.
• 1:02:37
  Fee Sagafi and Alexis Raptus.
• 1:02:40
  Fee has been absolutely
• 1:02:43
  murdering everything.
• 1:02:46
  The WFP qualifier, the Open.
• 1:02:50
  She just has a lot of
• 1:02:51
  momentum and a lot of confidence.
• 1:02:53
  And I think she's awesome.
• 1:02:57
  And I want to see her do well.
• 1:02:58
  So I'm picking Fee.
• 1:03:00
  And Alexis Raptus, I think, is also...
• 1:03:05
  has found some relief for
• 1:03:07
  things that she was going
• 1:03:08
  through and is going to see
• 1:03:11
  a big improvement coming
• 1:03:12
  into this season.
• 1:03:14
  And I really think she's
• 1:03:14
  going to do great from here on out.
• 1:03:17
  So I can't wait to see what
• 1:03:18
  she does at Mayhem.
• 1:03:20
  Yeah,
• 1:03:20
  I think she's looking awesome right now.
• 1:03:22
  I'll go with Danielle and
• 1:03:24
  Alexis as my picks.
• 1:03:28
  And then my dark horse is Shelby Neal.
• 1:03:32
  She's just all around a
• 1:03:33
  great athlete in this thing,
• 1:03:36
  and I think we forget about her sometimes,
• 1:03:39
  and she's definitely going
• 1:03:40
  to be in contention.
• 1:03:42
  Whether she gets a spot, I don't know,
• 1:03:43
  but I think she's going to
• 1:03:45
  be at least talked about in the end.
• 1:03:52
  So, well, that is the Mayhem preview.
• 1:03:56
  I'm excited just to watch
• 1:03:57
  some CrossFit this weekend.
• 1:04:00
  It's going to be fun.
• 1:04:07
  So age group semifinals are
• 1:04:08
  this weekend as well.
• 1:04:10
  Well, we've talked about that briefly.
• 1:04:12
  All information is to be
• 1:04:13
  released tomorrow by email
• 1:04:16
  to the athletes.
• 1:04:18
  A rumor is that the workouts
• 1:04:19
  will be included as part of that package.
• 1:04:23
  So you'll have a couple of
• 1:04:24
  days to think about your strategy.
• 1:04:28
  both Carolyn and Jamie are
• 1:04:29
  qualified athletes and
• 1:04:30
  we'll be performing and
• 1:04:34
  we'll be performing these workouts.
• 1:04:36
  So we'll get some feedback with that.
• 1:04:38
  And did you see that at
• 1:04:40
  least one athlete got drug
• 1:04:41
  tested out of competition
• 1:04:44
  in the master's division this week?
• 1:04:49
  I did see that.
• 1:04:49
  So Jason Grubb was tested this week.
• 1:04:53
  So we do know it is a possibility that,
• 1:04:58
  we will, we'll see, uh, Denise Moore,
• 1:05:04
  who I forgot, I neglected to mention.
• 1:05:06
  She was on that graphic way
• 1:05:07
  back in the beginning of the show, uh,
• 1:05:09
  as winners, age group winners.
• 1:05:11
  Um, but she's biting her nails.
• 1:05:15
  I just wonder for the online,
• 1:05:17
  how difficult it's been for
• 1:05:18
  certain people's to like
• 1:05:19
  find judges or affiliates.
• 1:05:22
  Like
• 1:05:23
  Cause like you,
• 1:05:24
  you need both judges to have their L one,
• 1:05:27
  their judges course,
• 1:05:28
  their advanced judges course.
• 1:05:30
  And like,
• 1:05:31
  you're on two people's schedules.
• 1:05:34
  And like,
• 1:05:35
  if you want to be redoing workouts,
• 1:05:37
  like you have to have those
• 1:05:39
  people kind of available.
• 1:05:41
  Um, so like, I, I mean, I have mine to,
• 1:05:46
  I can't be my own.
• 1:05:48
  secondary judge obviously
• 1:05:49
  but like if there's other
• 1:05:49
  people in the era and stuff
• 1:05:51
  um like my coach has one um
• 1:05:56
  there's we're trying to get
• 1:05:57
  a few people to have so
• 1:05:59
  that we have options for
• 1:06:01
  for that but like I can
• 1:06:03
  just see a lot of gyms
• 1:06:04
  don't have that many
• 1:06:05
  options and we're like it's
• 1:06:06
  going to be hard to redo it
• 1:06:07
  definitely favors people
• 1:06:08
  that have like maybe bigger
• 1:06:10
  bigger groups of athletes going and
• 1:06:16
  Yeah,
• 1:06:17
  it's not easy to find people to have
• 1:06:20
  all of those.
• 1:06:21
  You're gonna have to pay
• 1:06:22
  people to do their judge's course,
• 1:06:24
  pay the fifty bucks for someone to do it.
• 1:06:29
  And like I said last time,
• 1:06:30
  I just don't see the value
• 1:06:31
  of the other judge.
• 1:06:33
  You're just not gonna see
• 1:06:35
  the other judge step in and
• 1:06:38
  stop the work and be saying
• 1:06:39
  stuff like you see on the floor.
• 1:06:41
  I think that course,
• 1:06:44
  is good for like it would be
• 1:06:47
  good a good requirement for
• 1:06:49
  all of the semi-finals to
• 1:06:51
  be like hey you want to
• 1:06:51
  volunteer our at our events
• 1:06:53
  go you have to do this
• 1:06:54
  judges course this advanced
• 1:06:56
  ones like or like any out
• 1:06:58
  of competition like water
• 1:06:59
  palooza and stuff like that
• 1:07:00
  but it's I don't know I I
• 1:07:06
  think it's a hassle for
• 1:07:07
  nothing like if you're
• 1:07:08
  gonna have your video
• 1:07:08
  public anyways you already
• 1:07:11
  you do an affiliate you have a judge
• 1:07:14
  That takes the advanced
• 1:07:14
  course and put your video.
• 1:07:17
  Like,
• 1:07:17
  I don't know that you really need
• 1:07:19
  that secondary judge.
• 1:07:22
  Floor judge and head judge
• 1:07:23
  have to be introduced on video.
• 1:07:28
  So this is what I think happened.
• 1:07:30
  I'm just going to try to.
• 1:07:34
  makes sense of it.
• 1:07:35
  If you are a CrossFit mayhem
• 1:07:37
  or you're a CrossFit
• 1:07:38
  Invictus where you have
• 1:07:41
  tons of athletes going at the same time,
• 1:07:43
  it makes sense to have
• 1:07:45
  maybe five judges and one
• 1:07:46
  head judge making sure that
• 1:07:48
  everybody in your gym is consistent.
• 1:07:52
  That makes sense.
• 1:07:54
  If you are a mom and pop affiliate with a
• 1:07:59
  fifty members and one
• 1:08:01
  athlete made it it makes no
• 1:08:02
  sense to put this burden on
• 1:08:05
  the affiliate to have an
• 1:08:07
  extra person available to
• 1:08:08
  judge it makes absolutely
• 1:08:10
  no sense and it puts us at
• 1:08:12
  a disadvantage too like as
• 1:08:15
  like if you're the only one
• 1:08:16
  like because I'm the I'm
• 1:08:17
  the only one from my
• 1:08:17
  affiliate that qualified
• 1:08:19
  but like if you if you have
• 1:08:22
  a bunch of people you
• 1:08:22
  probably have a bunch of
• 1:08:23
  people that have their their other course
• 1:08:27
  Cause they'll do it
• 1:08:28
  themselves and then they
• 1:08:29
  can even have like their
• 1:08:30
  friends judge and be the
• 1:08:31
  backup or whatever.
• 1:08:33
  Um, but if you're like the only one,
• 1:08:35
  like it's hard finding to like,
• 1:08:39
  like I want like four or
• 1:08:40
  five people to have their
• 1:08:41
  course because I, I need option,
• 1:08:44
  maybe not for this weekend,
• 1:08:45
  but for the May first to fourth,
• 1:08:48
  like I'm going to be
• 1:08:49
  redoing those workouts for sure.
• 1:08:52
  This weekend, maybe one redo for,
• 1:08:55
  for like the age group.
• 1:08:57
  But like I want options of
• 1:08:59
  people and it's like I work full time.
• 1:09:02
  So like I can't and other
• 1:09:04
  people work full time.
• 1:09:06
  So it's just like relying on them.
• 1:09:07
  Like I'm probably have to
• 1:09:08
  pay people a bunch of money
• 1:09:10
  to to to come in and judge.
• 1:09:13
  Whereas like it's just
• 1:09:15
  annoying because it's
• 1:09:15
  already a hundred bucks to do this.
• 1:09:18
  And then.
• 1:09:20
  You have to do the courses,
• 1:09:21
  pay for other people to do the courses,
• 1:09:23
  make sure that they're
• 1:09:24
  available that weekend.
• 1:09:25
  Are they going to be
• 1:09:25
  available when you can or
• 1:09:26
  when you want to do it?
• 1:09:27
  Like it just.
• 1:09:28
  Yes.
• 1:09:28
  I understand it does put a
• 1:09:35
  lot of heavy lifting on small affiliates.
• 1:09:37
  It's cool.
• 1:09:37
  Jason Grubb is hosting Masters athletes,
• 1:09:39
  but obviously not everybody can do that.
• 1:09:43
  And I agree with helping
• 1:09:44
  like the advanced judges
• 1:09:45
  course was like literally
• 1:09:47
  about the live in-person comps.
• 1:09:49
  What's your judge?
• 1:09:50
  What's, what's your role?
• 1:09:52
  All of that.
• 1:09:52
  Like it's so irrelevant for
• 1:09:54
  an in-person online semi.
• 1:09:56
  It really is.
• 1:09:57
  Like I wanted the advanced
• 1:09:59
  judges course to be like here,
• 1:10:00
  a previous semifinal or
• 1:10:02
  quarterfinal workouts.
• 1:10:03
  These are why there were no reps.
• 1:10:05
  Look at this.
• 1:10:06
  We looked at this angle.
• 1:10:07
  Don't film from this angle.
• 1:10:08
  Do like really.
• 1:10:10
  practical stuff like that.
• 1:10:11
  Great reps of elite athletes moving,
• 1:10:16
  not an average athlete moving in the,
• 1:10:19
  in the judges course.
• 1:10:20
  Like they have have elite semifinal games,
• 1:10:24
  athletes videos.
• 1:10:25
  And that should have been
• 1:10:26
  the advanced judges course
• 1:10:27
  is the difference of not
• 1:10:30
  just knowing what good reps
• 1:10:31
  and bad reps are, but like,
• 1:10:32
  let's see it at the elite level and,
• 1:10:35
  work on your eye of like having good and,
• 1:10:39
  and, and no reps.
• 1:10:42
  Like I wanted that to be that,
• 1:10:43
  but it was mostly just
• 1:10:45
  relevant for in-person large events.
• 1:10:50
  I don't know if you tuned in
• 1:10:51
  at all to our Tuesday show.
• 1:10:52
  We did, we had Andrew Sten on and, uh,
• 1:10:56
  Jeffrey Birchfield who have
• 1:10:57
  both judged at major events
• 1:11:00
  and they were talking about how, um,
• 1:11:04
  The AFJ had a seminar at
• 1:11:07
  Waterpalooza where they
• 1:11:09
  talked about those things
• 1:11:11
  and they had elite athletes
• 1:11:13
  come in and do the
• 1:11:14
  movements so that they
• 1:11:15
  could see it at the elite athlete speed.
• 1:11:20
  I think that is what is
• 1:11:22
  essential in these judging courses.
• 1:11:24
  It's one thing to watch me
• 1:11:26
  do the movement at my snail
• 1:11:28
  pace compared to like
• 1:11:29
  Carolyn doing them at a pace.
• 1:11:32
  Extension is fast.
• 1:11:34
  Like it is really fast for
• 1:11:35
  an elite athlete.
• 1:11:37
  And you need to see that and
• 1:11:38
  what it looks like in,
• 1:11:39
  in real live person.
• 1:11:42
  to understand that.
• 1:11:42
  So I love that the AFJ is
• 1:11:44
  starting to do those
• 1:11:45
  seminars live and in person with judges.
• 1:11:52
  It doesn't solve this problem.
• 1:11:54
  No,
• 1:11:54
  and it's not even like you just need
• 1:11:56
  your advanced course and your judges.
• 1:11:57
  You need to have your L-one as well.
• 1:12:00
  I'm lucky that I train at an
• 1:12:03
  affiliate one.
• 1:12:04
  And two,
• 1:12:05
  we do a lot of hosting of level
• 1:12:07
  ones and level twos.
• 1:12:08
  So like we do have a lot of
• 1:12:10
  the coaches that have level
• 1:12:11
  ones and level twos.
• 1:12:13
  Mostly all of them are level
• 1:12:14
  twos just because like we
• 1:12:17
  host a lot of them.
• 1:12:18
  but it's also like the level
• 1:12:20
  one that is hard to get from people.
• 1:12:22
  Like I bet,
• 1:12:23
  I bet I could have gone a few
• 1:12:24
  judges at the,
• 1:12:25
  at like my gym to go and take the,
• 1:12:28
  the advanced course.
• 1:12:29
  Cause they most,
• 1:12:29
  a lot of them took their
• 1:12:31
  regular judges course for
• 1:12:31
  the open to help out, but it's the,
• 1:12:35
  you need the level one as well.
• 1:12:36
  Like it's just,
• 1:12:37
  there's so many
• 1:12:37
  requirements for those two
• 1:12:39
  judges and it just makes it difficult.
• 1:12:43
  And it's like,
• 1:12:44
  it's annoying as an athlete to have to,
• 1:12:47
  do all this because you know
• 1:12:48
  that other people have
• 1:12:50
  everything figured out for
• 1:12:51
  them and they can redo
• 1:12:53
  basically whenever they're
• 1:12:54
  gonna have two judges at
• 1:12:55
  the gym and they get
• 1:12:56
  everything for them but
• 1:12:57
  like for a lot of athletes
• 1:12:58
  like we might not be able
• 1:12:59
  to redo the workouts like
• 1:13:01
  other people can holly says
• 1:13:04
  as much as I like helping
• 1:13:05
  out judging locally I just
• 1:13:06
  can't justify the l-one cost
• 1:13:11
  Well, the good news is if you did the open,
• 1:13:13
  you got a coupon for,
• 1:13:17
  was it twenty or thirty
• 1:13:18
  percent off your L-one?
• 1:13:22
  I'm not sure.
• 1:13:24
  We talked about that on Tuesday, too.
• 1:13:25
  Andrew brought it up and I
• 1:13:28
  did double check it was there.
• 1:13:30
  But still, it is a lot of money.
• 1:13:32
  Like even at like thirty percent off,
• 1:13:34
  that's seven hundred dollars.
• 1:13:35
  You got to plop down to get
• 1:13:37
  an L-one just to judge an
• 1:13:39
  athlete or two in your affiliate.
• 1:13:42
  If you have no plans on
• 1:13:43
  coaching and don't get me wrong,
• 1:13:45
  the L-one is an amazing course,
• 1:13:47
  but some people are really
• 1:13:48
  tight on money and that
• 1:13:50
  isn't something that they
• 1:13:51
  can prioritize at this
• 1:13:53
  point in time in their life.
• 1:13:57
  Yeah.
• 1:13:58
  I just, cause it's,
• 1:13:58
  cause I'm reading my email that I got,
• 1:14:00
  it says both judges must
• 1:14:02
  have the following credentials,
• 1:14:03
  current L one judges course,
• 1:14:06
  advanced judges course.
• 1:14:07
  Like it just is like, I get one,
• 1:14:10
  maybe needing an L one, but again,
• 1:14:12
  I don't even think,
• 1:14:13
  I don't see how an L one
• 1:14:14
  even does anything to help
• 1:14:16
  you be a good judge.
• 1:14:18
  Like it has nothing to do
• 1:14:19
  with being a good judge.
• 1:14:19
  It's just having an L one and that, I mean,
• 1:14:23
  I guess that's fine.
• 1:14:23
  It's your rules, but it's just stupid.
• 1:14:28
  Fluffy fit says seven
• 1:14:29
  hundred US as a Canadian.
• 1:14:30
  That's a no go.
• 1:14:31
  Yeah, that's like.
• 1:14:38
  I was in something.
• 1:14:42
  Yeah.
• 1:14:44
  So that's what makes me annoyed.
• 1:14:45
  They're making the semis out
• 1:14:46
  of reach for the regular athlete.
• 1:14:50
  I do not disagree with you, Denise.
• 1:14:52
  I think they overcorrected.
• 1:14:55
  Especially if the videos are public.
• 1:14:58
  It's not like the videos are
• 1:15:00
  unlisted and then they're
• 1:15:01
  going to be asking for one or two.
• 1:15:04
  Your videos are public as well.
• 1:15:07
  What is the need of the second judge?
• 1:15:12
  What is the need of the second judge?
• 1:15:14
  Your video is public.
• 1:15:16
  Who cares about the second judge?
• 1:15:17
  Honestly, at this point,
• 1:15:18
  who cares about the first judge?
• 1:15:20
  If we're going off the video
• 1:15:22
  scores and thumbs up, thumbs down,
• 1:15:25
  you wouldn't even need to go
• 1:15:27
  Have a judge, really.
• 1:15:29
  Like, that's just like you should,
• 1:15:31
  but like.
• 1:15:32
  I'm okay with the advanced judges course.
• 1:15:35
  And I love the public video for a week.
• 1:15:40
  Those are the steps they needed to take.
• 1:15:42
  They did not need to add a
• 1:15:43
  head judge to this.
• 1:15:46
  It just didn't need to happen.
• 1:15:55
  Halpin says,
• 1:15:56
  especially as all these age
• 1:15:58
  group athletes have done
• 1:15:59
  online video semis for years,
• 1:16:01
  they have a year where
• 1:16:02
  there are issues in
• 1:16:03
  quarterfinals for individuals,
• 1:16:05
  and now age groups have to
• 1:16:06
  do the higher standard.
• 1:16:09
  Well,
• 1:16:09
  I think that there have been these
• 1:16:11
  issues in the age groups as well.
• 1:16:13
  It's just not as publicly
• 1:16:15
  known because it doesn't
• 1:16:16
  get the attention that the elites get.
• 1:16:19
  I do like the public video
• 1:16:22
  that I think would change a lot.
• 1:16:25
  That alone is going to
• 1:16:26
  correct many of the issues.
• 1:16:30
  When you submit your video,
• 1:16:32
  do you need to have it?
• 1:16:33
  Like, does my YouTube link?
• 1:16:36
  need to be public or can it
• 1:16:38
  still be unlisted but it's
• 1:16:40
  in the like because I'm
• 1:16:42
  posting my video goes like
• 1:16:44
  it already goes up as the
• 1:16:46
  as the video anyways like
• 1:16:48
  when I submit my my scores
• 1:16:51
  if I'm not an affiliate and
• 1:16:52
  I put my video normally as
• 1:16:53
  unlisted my video normally
• 1:16:54
  pops up for people to judge
• 1:16:58
  yeah I don't that is that's
• 1:17:00
  a detail I am not aware I
• 1:17:02
  would be guessing if I answered that
• 1:17:05
  I would play it safe and say
• 1:17:07
  make it public.
• 1:17:07
  Yeah, yeah.
• 1:17:08
  I will, but I'm just saying.
• 1:17:11
  Andrew says it must be public,
• 1:17:13
  cannot be private or unlisted.
• 1:17:19
  Got it.
• 1:17:19
  And Denise echoed that same point.
• 1:17:23
  So, yeah.
• 1:17:24
  So the way it works is after
• 1:17:26
  this weekend's over,
• 1:17:28
  the top thirty men and
• 1:17:29
  women from ages thirty five
• 1:17:32
  to fifty nine will go on to
• 1:17:33
  the CrossFit Games.
• 1:17:35
  the twenty men and women if
• 1:17:37
  they're you're in your
• 1:17:38
  sixties will be going on to
• 1:17:40
  the crossfit games and if
• 1:17:42
  you're seventy plus it's
• 1:17:43
  ten and ten and they still
• 1:17:47
  haven't announced anything
• 1:17:48
  in terms of prize purse for
• 1:17:50
  um masters and and stuff
• 1:17:53
  like that so I'm curious if
• 1:17:56
  they would like especially
• 1:17:57
  with the increase in price
• 1:17:59
  to a hundred dollars from
• 1:18:00
  what the quarterfinals were
• 1:18:02
  Um, I guess for the masters,
• 1:18:04
  they had a quarter and a semi.
• 1:18:05
  So that's why it's probably a hundred,
• 1:18:07
  but for, and I guess same with us,
• 1:18:10
  but yeah, I guess that makes sense.
• 1:18:12
  Yeah.
• 1:18:17
  But does any of that money go towards, um,
• 1:18:20
  who hosts, is it legends or mass?
• 1:18:22
  I can't figure out which one is.
• 1:18:23
  Yeah.
• 1:18:25
  Like,
• 1:18:25
  do they get some of that money for
• 1:18:28
  hosting?
• 1:18:28
  See, that's what I said last week.
• 1:18:31
  I think that the prize purse
• 1:18:35
  is based on the open registrations.
• 1:18:38
  Why isn't the semifinal
• 1:18:43
  money going to the people
• 1:18:44
  putting on that show too?
• 1:18:46
  And maybe some of that added
• 1:18:48
  to the prize purse.
• 1:18:51
  But because it's based on percentage,
• 1:18:53
  I think it's definitely
• 1:18:54
  going to be smaller than last year.
• 1:18:57
  And maybe they keep the same formula,
• 1:18:59
  but based on the new total pot of money.
• 1:19:07
  I don't know.
• 1:19:08
  They should publish that, though.
• 1:19:15
  So can't wait for a lot of people...
• 1:19:19
  Lynn is saying they're so excited for you,
• 1:19:22
  Carolyn, doing your first Masters.
• 1:19:27
  Yeah.
• 1:19:28
  I'm stoked.
• 1:19:30
  If my two co-hosts win the games this year,
• 1:19:32
  it'll be awesome.
• 1:19:33
  We'll have a big party.
• 1:19:34
  We'll work on it.
• 1:19:40
  Dawn Fall appeared on the
• 1:19:41
  CrossFit podcast.
• 1:19:42
  I missed it.
• 1:19:46
  So I have...
• 1:19:48
  new crossfit podcast with
• 1:19:50
  denise thomas I've really
• 1:19:53
  enjoyed a lot I can't this
• 1:19:57
  just I think it's been
• 1:19:59
  great I can't wait till we
• 1:20:00
  get somebody that she
• 1:20:01
  doesn't know intimately on
• 1:20:03
  the show um because right
• 1:20:07
  now she just knows
• 1:20:08
  everybody so well and
• 1:20:09
  that's going to be
• 1:20:10
  comfortable for her but I
• 1:20:11
  think she'd be she's going
• 1:20:12
  to be even better when she
• 1:20:13
  gets people where she tries
• 1:20:15
  to dive in and learn
• 1:20:18
  But Don was on.
• 1:20:20
  It was the best I've seen
• 1:20:21
  him look in well over a year.
• 1:20:24
  It was a controlled environment.
• 1:20:26
  I mean, they own the podcast,
• 1:20:28
  so I'm sure they could
• 1:20:29
  frame up some of the stuff
• 1:20:31
  that he was going to be hit with.
• 1:20:33
  He looked more relaxed.
• 1:20:35
  He did address the lower
• 1:20:38
  numbers for the open,
• 1:20:40
  said that knew they were
• 1:20:42
  going to face the lower numbers,
• 1:20:45
  that media and the team
• 1:20:47
  have killed it to start
• 1:20:48
  telling the story again.
• 1:20:51
  But he did not address
• 1:20:52
  anything about the sale, really,
• 1:20:54
  other than that they put
• 1:20:55
  him up for sale and just
• 1:20:56
  reiterated what he had said
• 1:20:59
  to the affiliate town hall
• 1:21:01
  a couple weeks ago.
• 1:21:05
  And I have to agree with them.
• 1:21:06
  The media team has picked up big time.
• 1:21:11
  That reel they put out
• 1:21:12
  earlier this week with the
• 1:21:14
  teen athletes and then
• 1:21:16
  flashing forward to where they are today,
• 1:21:19
  like of Dallin and James
• 1:21:21
  and Alexis and Haley, that was awesome.
• 1:21:27
  And then they put out a
• 1:21:29
  YouTube short documentary
• 1:21:32
  about a guy getting his L-I
• 1:21:33
  that was awesome this week.
• 1:21:36
  Like they are actually
• 1:21:37
  putting out content over
• 1:21:39
  the past few months,
• 1:21:40
  which is really refreshing
• 1:21:41
  to see that they're getting
• 1:21:43
  back into telling the story again.
• 1:21:46
  And like the,
• 1:21:48
  the content on Instagram has been, um,
• 1:21:52
  like entertaining too.
• 1:21:54
  And they're like,
• 1:21:55
  they're poking fun at some of the.
• 1:21:58
  the athletes and the
• 1:21:59
  rivalries that there are.
• 1:22:00
  And I think they're doing a
• 1:22:01
  really good job on Instagram.
• 1:22:02
  I haven't seen if they're
• 1:22:04
  utilizing YouTube as much
• 1:22:06
  as they were maybe a few
• 1:22:07
  months ago when they were
• 1:22:08
  popping up like a bunch of library.
• 1:22:11
  Not as frequently,
• 1:22:13
  but they're still putting some stuff out.
• 1:22:16
  Yeah.
• 1:22:16
  They're doing,
• 1:22:16
  they're doing a really good job.
• 1:22:20
  And he talks about that.
• 1:22:21
  Most of the podcast is
• 1:22:22
  getting to know him as a person,
• 1:22:24
  not really him as the CEO of the company.
• 1:22:29
  And it was fine getting to know him.
• 1:22:33
  But I think there are a lot
• 1:22:34
  of questions that people
• 1:22:36
  kind of wanted to dive into.
• 1:22:38
  And I think they hit it kind
• 1:22:40
  of surface level.
• 1:22:43
  But honestly,
• 1:22:45
  I didn't expect much more
• 1:22:46
  than that just because of
• 1:22:47
  the controlled environment
• 1:22:48
  that it was in.
• 1:22:54
  A couple other quick hit news things.
• 1:22:56
  Actually just one more.
• 1:22:58
  Justin unveiled his pink hair.
• 1:23:02
  Oh my gosh.
• 1:23:04
  I was amazed that he did everything.
• 1:23:08
  The eyebrows, the goatee,
• 1:23:10
  like everything is so nasty,
• 1:23:13
  but it's so good.
• 1:23:15
  I said, this is like sweaty too.
• 1:23:17
  Like did he put gel in it too?
• 1:23:20
  Like, is that just how it sits?
• 1:23:22
  He said he put it in and
• 1:23:24
  then everything he touched turned pink.
• 1:23:27
  Like he didn't realize his
• 1:23:29
  face touched the wall ball
• 1:23:30
  when he did wall balls.
• 1:23:31
  And when he was done,
• 1:23:32
  there was like a big pink
• 1:23:33
  patch where his goatee was.
• 1:23:37
  Um, so I thought it was,
• 1:23:40
  I like this new Justin
• 1:23:42
  that's being more open
• 1:23:43
  about who he is and very
• 1:23:44
  self deprecating and being
• 1:23:46
  okay with this stuff.
• 1:23:48
  I think that that makes him
• 1:23:48
  way more likable, uh,
• 1:23:50
  than he was over the last
• 1:23:52
  couple of years.
• 1:23:54
  I've always liked Justin.
• 1:23:55
  I think he's always been likable to me.
• 1:23:57
  I think he's great on his podcast.
• 1:23:59
  He's,
• 1:24:00
  he's the one that's running the show.
• 1:24:01
  Like he,
• 1:24:02
  he interviews his friends very well.
• 1:24:05
  He keeps the conversation going.
• 1:24:07
  Like, yeah,
• 1:24:09
  I think he does a really good
• 1:24:10
  job with his YouTube channel for sure.
• 1:24:14
  So when he broke out in twenty twenty,
• 1:24:15
  I think everybody loved him
• 1:24:17
  and then he won the games
• 1:24:18
  and it was a lot really fast.
• 1:24:20
  And then he became guarded
• 1:24:22
  for a period of time.
• 1:24:24
  And now I think hooking up
• 1:24:27
  with Jason and Dallin have
• 1:24:29
  made him much more loose.
• 1:24:35
  But still the same Justin.
• 1:24:36
  I just think he's back to who he is.
• 1:24:38
  And I think it's going to
• 1:24:39
  show on the floor too.
• 1:24:42
  Yeah,
• 1:24:42
  I think he's taking off the pressure
• 1:24:43
  off himself.
• 1:24:44
  I think when you win the
• 1:24:45
  games twice and everyone's
• 1:24:47
  looking at you because Matt's won it
• 1:24:50
  five times and rich one at
• 1:24:51
  four times are you gonna do
• 1:24:52
  that too and then it didn't
• 1:24:54
  happen you know it that's a
• 1:24:57
  tough reality right like
• 1:24:59
  those those guys just like
• 1:25:00
  set like a huge right you
• 1:25:03
  know it's a stupid
• 1:25:05
  expectation like yeah like
• 1:25:07
  it's just it's crazy and
• 1:25:08
  the field is so deep now
• 1:25:10
  that it's just you know
• 1:25:11
  it's so hard and I think
• 1:25:13
  that there were maybe a few years of
• 1:25:16
  you know, self doubt.
• 1:25:17
  And, um, did I win because Matt was,
• 1:25:20
  you know, like just, you know,
• 1:25:21
  those questions start going
• 1:25:22
  in your head and then he wins it twice.
• 1:25:24
  And it's like, okay, you know,
• 1:25:26
  I am good type thing.
• 1:25:28
  Um,
• 1:25:29
  but it's hard to stay at the top and
• 1:25:31
  it's nice to see, you know,
• 1:25:33
  him be happy in his podcast.
• 1:25:36
  And you can just see that he's,
• 1:25:38
  he's in a better place,
• 1:25:39
  at least on social media.
• 1:25:41
  We don't know what goes on, you know,
• 1:25:42
  behind, uh, like videos and,
• 1:25:45
  whatnot but like the
• 1:25:47
  perception of his happiness
• 1:25:49
  you know is good um so I I
• 1:25:53
  hope this is you know a a
• 1:25:55
  revamp justin and he's
• 1:25:57
  gonna have a great year I I
• 1:25:59
  hope he he has a great year
• 1:26:00
  anyways so this kind of
• 1:26:03
  reminds me about something
• 1:26:05
  and I'm going to talk about
• 1:26:06
  it tomorrow and lunch with
• 1:26:06
  the clydesdale is I'll just
• 1:26:07
  preview it here
• 1:26:09
  For years,
• 1:26:10
  everybody is saying that
• 1:26:11
  CrossFit needs to have a
• 1:26:14
  show like Full Swing that
• 1:26:16
  Netflix has done with the PGA.
• 1:26:20
  I never watched Full Swing.
• 1:26:21
  Last night, I decided to try it.
• 1:26:26
  And I have a lot of thoughts
• 1:26:27
  now after watching it about, one,
• 1:26:32
  it really reminded me of
• 1:26:33
  Road to the Games.
• 1:26:36
  I think CrossFit has done this before.
• 1:26:39
  this just has a few tweaks
• 1:26:41
  and a few little
• 1:26:42
  differences that make it
• 1:26:45
  just a little bit better.
• 1:26:48
  And I'm going to talk about
• 1:26:48
  that tomorrow on the lunch
• 1:26:49
  with the Clydesdale show,
• 1:26:51
  comparing and contrasting the two and, um,
• 1:26:55
  and why, and we could do this.
• 1:26:58
  There's enough third party
• 1:26:59
  media that this could be
• 1:27:01
  done without Netflix for
• 1:27:03
  now and just do it.
• 1:27:05
  But, um,
• 1:27:08
  But just a little preview,
• 1:27:09
  like they show people in
• 1:27:16
  that mental space that
• 1:27:17
  they're struggling and
• 1:27:20
  trying to get out of it.
• 1:27:24
  And I ask all of you and the
• 1:27:27
  viewers and whatever,
• 1:27:28
  has CrossFit ever done that?
• 1:27:31
  And the only thing that came
• 1:27:33
  to mind for me, and I think it was,
• 1:27:37
  road to the games with Josh
• 1:27:39
  Bridges and Brooke Entz
• 1:27:41
  when they both didn't
• 1:27:42
  qualify for the games.
• 1:27:46
  And it kind of spun out at
• 1:27:47
  that West Regional that year.
• 1:27:51
  And it was great, great content.
• 1:27:54
  And not because they didn't make it,
• 1:27:58
  but Josh ends up coming
• 1:27:59
  back and making it again.
• 1:28:02
  Like,
• 1:28:03
  and that means more when you've seen
• 1:28:06
  the struggle beforehand.
• 1:28:10
  Yeah, we don't see enough struggle of.
• 1:28:13
  the athletes though, like in general,
• 1:28:14
  like on their social media,
• 1:28:16
  like it's always made lifts
• 1:28:18
  like here and there, some misses,
• 1:28:20
  but you know,
• 1:28:23
  everyone keeps their
• 1:28:23
  injuries nice and close to
• 1:28:24
  their heart and, um,
• 1:28:27
  and other struggles a lot of times.
• 1:28:28
  So it's,
• 1:28:29
  it would be nice to go like a
• 1:28:31
  deeper dive into, uh,
• 1:28:33
  you know, the athletes and their training,
• 1:28:35
  even their train sessions and, you know,
• 1:28:38
  the misses that happen and
• 1:28:39
  just like the reality of
• 1:28:40
  what a day-to-day is.
• 1:28:42
  Because like people do their
• 1:28:43
  like a day in the life of,
• 1:28:44
  but it's like their
• 1:28:46
  highlight stuff all the time.
• 1:28:49
  So Lynn is pretty much,
• 1:28:51
  this is what's going to
• 1:28:51
  happen tomorrow on the show.
• 1:28:54
  I don't know if the athletes
• 1:28:55
  would be willing to show
• 1:28:56
  that vulnerability.
• 1:28:57
  CrossFit is very PC.
• 1:28:59
  but I think that you get
• 1:29:00
  people that want to root
• 1:29:03
  for you when they see that
• 1:29:05
  you've overcome this stuff.
• 1:29:09
  And I think that's,
• 1:29:10
  and we've seen people be vulnerable,
• 1:29:12
  like Emma coming out and
• 1:29:13
  saying that she was
• 1:29:14
  struggling last season,
• 1:29:16
  like Mal taking a step away,
• 1:29:17
  like Haley taking a step away.
• 1:29:19
  I think Haley is just as popular,
• 1:29:21
  if not more after admitting
• 1:29:23
  the struggle she had than before.
• 1:29:29
  now if she goes on to podium
• 1:29:32
  at the games or win the
• 1:29:33
  games that story is going
• 1:29:34
  to mean so much more
• 1:29:42
  I guess I want to see the struggle.
• 1:29:47
  It's one thing to talk about
• 1:29:49
  it and be like, I was struggling.
• 1:29:53
  I want to see your session.
• 1:29:54
  Is that sad?
• 1:29:56
  Is that bad?
• 1:29:57
  I want to see you cry or
• 1:29:59
  miss or throw something or
• 1:30:01
  get angered versus talking about it.
• 1:30:06
  I just want to see what it looks like.
• 1:30:09
  People won't get to that point.
• 1:30:12
  That that's what full swing does.
• 1:30:14
  Like they'll just say,
• 1:30:15
  they'll talk about it,
• 1:30:16
  but we don't see it as much.
• 1:30:20
  It's tough to get to that point, right?
• 1:30:22
  That to allow cameras to see
• 1:30:25
  that or to be like, okay with it,
• 1:30:27
  posting it.
• 1:30:29
  So like Brooks Koepka was
• 1:30:30
  the best golfer in the
• 1:30:31
  world from twenty seventeen
• 1:30:32
  to twenty nineteen.
• 1:30:34
  He goes on,
• 1:30:35
  he's at the Masters and the
• 1:30:37
  first nine holes, he's killing it.
• 1:30:39
  misses a putt and then he
• 1:30:41
  completely unravels because
• 1:30:42
  his confidence has been
• 1:30:43
  shot from the two years
• 1:30:46
  after twenty nineteen.
• 1:30:47
  Like and you see it all
• 1:30:49
  break apart live at the Masters.
• 1:30:53
  So when he when he comes
• 1:30:54
  back and he's great again,
• 1:30:55
  it just is a better story.
• 1:31:01
  So.
• 1:31:01
  Anyway.
• 1:31:03
  Anyway.
• 1:31:07
  Andrew Hiller,
• 1:31:08
  I think you will like Jason's video.
• 1:31:11
  Cool.
• 1:31:12
  I am looking forward to it.
• 1:31:17
  What about me?
• 1:31:18
  Am I not going to like it, Andrew?
• 1:31:19
  What the heck?
• 1:31:25
  We did that one year where
• 1:31:26
  we followed athletes from
• 1:31:27
  the open to the games.
• 1:31:30
  We just couldn't do it video-wise.
• 1:31:32
  I couldn't be there all the time.
• 1:31:35
  I don't have the budget that Netflix has.
• 1:31:39
  And I'm glad people like
• 1:31:40
  Hiller are going out and
• 1:31:41
  doing like the forty eight
• 1:31:42
  hours or the week with.
• 1:31:44
  I think those that's what
• 1:31:46
  this space needs.
• 1:31:48
  Yeah, those have been really good.
• 1:31:51
  So.
• 1:31:55
  Carolyn, wait it.
• 1:31:59
  All right, guys.
• 1:32:00
  Well, as always,
• 1:32:01
  it's been a blast hanging
• 1:32:02
  out with you tonight.
• 1:32:04
  Our ninety minutes is up and
• 1:32:07
  I got to get up and go to
• 1:32:08
  work in the morning.
• 1:32:11
  So with that, thank you, everybody,
• 1:32:12
  for being here.
• 1:32:13
  Don't forget to like and
• 1:32:14
  subscribe to the channel.
• 1:32:15
  If you listen to us on those
• 1:32:17
  audio platforms,
• 1:32:17
  leave us a five star review.
• 1:32:19
  Tell us what you like about the show.
• 1:32:21
  And with that,
• 1:32:22
  we'll have lunch with the
• 1:32:23
  Clydesdale all week long.
• 1:32:25
  And tomorrow will be a
• 1:32:27
  comparison of full swing to
• 1:32:29
  road to the games and the
• 1:32:30
  stuff that Hiller's doing
• 1:32:31
  and all the other stuff behind the scenes,
• 1:32:33
  stuff that's been done before.
• 1:32:35
  We're going to compare all
• 1:32:36
  that to see maybe we can
• 1:32:40
  get this ball rolling in
• 1:32:41
  the right direction somehow.
• 1:32:43
  And if it takes third party
• 1:32:44
  to do that instead of CrossFit,
• 1:32:46
  maybe that's what it takes.
• 1:32:48
  But with that,
• 1:32:49
  Thank you, everybody,
• 1:32:50
  and we'll see everybody
• 1:32:52
  next time on Sunday, Sunday,
• 1:32:54
  Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
• 1:32:56
  Bye, guys.
