  down there on the end I got
• 0:40
  some dms this week from
• 0:42
  people saying I love your
• 0:44
  interviews but I never know
• 0:45
  when you're going live
• 0:47
  carolyn how can they know
• 0:48
  when we're going live
• 0:52
  You tell them every week.
• 0:53
  What do they got to do?
• 0:54
  Well,
• 0:54
  you've been going on Instagram and
• 0:56
  doing some, and they need to,
• 0:59
  first of all, they need to subscribe.
• 1:00
  They need to push that little notifier.
• 1:03
  And then when they watch the episode,
• 1:05
  or if they don't even watch the episode,
• 1:06
  you're going to like it.
• 1:08
  Yeah, exactly.
• 1:10
  Like, subscribe and hit the notifier.
• 1:12
  The notifier is the key, the little bell.
• 1:14
  It tells you when we go live.
• 1:15
  So you can jump on and catch
• 1:17
  all those interviews we did
• 1:18
  last week with James Craig, Alex Kazan,
• 1:21
  Elisa Fuliano.
• 1:23
  And you can catch those live.
• 1:26
  They all were awesome this week.
• 1:28
  They were just in a...
• 1:31
  More than me, it was them.
• 1:32
  They just were awesome to
• 1:33
  talk to and very open and
• 1:35
  honest about a lot of things.
• 1:37
  And I appreciate them for
• 1:38
  coming on and doing that.
• 1:40
  That was incredible.
• 1:42
  So anything going on big
• 1:45
  this weekend for you guys?
• 1:48
  Just got out and golfed for Father's Day.
• 1:51
  Nine holes or 18 or 18?
• 1:55
  How long does that take you?
• 1:58
  I actually thought it was quick.
• 1:59
  Like it was really busy.
• 2:01
  And we had Lucas with us and
• 2:05
  he doesn't golf very often at all.
• 2:07
  So, but I, I mean,
• 2:09
  I think we were only like four,
• 2:12
  four hours and 20 minutes
• 2:13
  with a pretty long stop at the turn.
• 2:16
  So I would say we were two
• 2:18
  hours or less per nine.
• 2:22
  I went home this weekend and
• 2:23
  saw my nephew and niece.
• 2:27
  One of my nephew is in
• 2:30
  Edmonton right now with my
• 2:32
  sister and her husband.
• 2:33
  They went to the Oilers game.
• 2:35
  They were on TV, actually.
• 2:36
  They were getting interviewed.
• 2:39
  that's cute um he's he's
• 2:42
  like my one nephew that has
• 2:43
  special needs and uh he's
• 2:44
  like has his wheelchair all
• 2:46
  decorated it's it's really
• 2:48
  cool so I didn't get to see
• 2:49
  him this time around but I
• 2:51
  got to see two of my
• 2:52
  nephews and my niece and
• 2:54
  then my family and today we
• 2:55
  had lunch for um father's day so
• 2:59
  Then I drove back home and on the way home,
• 3:01
  I took a pit stop to see my
• 3:03
  older sister and her dog
• 3:05
  for like a quick 30 minutes
• 3:06
  before she was going to the gym.
• 3:09
  And now I'm home.
• 3:10
  So good weekend.

  So thank you very much.
• 3:35
  Um, yeah,
• 3:36
  I went to Indianapolis this
• 3:37
  weekend with my mom,
• 3:39
  went to the U S Olympic
• 3:40
  swimming trials and got
• 3:42
  like an appetizer of it all.
• 3:44
  It actually goes on for eight days.
• 3:46
  We just went to the first day.
• 3:47
  Um,
• 3:50
  Well,
• 3:50
  what was cool is we got to see the
• 3:52
  finals of the 400 freestyle
• 3:54
  for both men and women.
• 3:55
  And that was my event in
• 3:57
  high school and in college.
• 4:00
  And so it was fun to watch
• 4:01
  that because I could like
• 4:03
  compare times and see how
• 4:04
  much better they are than I
• 4:05
  was back then.
• 4:08
  But it was in the football
• 4:10
  stadium to have a swimming pool.
• 4:13
  and like you walk in and it
• 4:14
  smells it has that like
• 4:17
  swimming pool humidity it
• 4:19
  had the swimming pool feel
• 4:21
  to it all it even in a
• 4:23
  football stadium and um and
• 4:26
  it was a rock show they
• 4:29
  they did such a cool job
• 4:30
  with the athletes at the
• 4:31
  finals they had a 70 foot tall
• 4:34
  screen where as each athlete
• 4:36
  came out they walked out
• 4:38
  underneath the 70-foot
• 4:39
  screen and then there was a
• 4:40
  big picture of them in a
• 4:42
  pre-production pose um
• 4:45
  coming out as they
• 4:46
  announced each lane they
• 4:48
  had lasers and lights and
• 4:51
  all kinds of stuff for the
• 4:52
  thing it was it was really
• 4:54
  cool and to get to see
• 4:55
  katie ledecky make it to
• 4:57
  her fourth olympic games
• 4:59
  was super awesome she's a
• 5:01
  legend hall of famer and uh
• 5:04
  was was super fun to see
• 5:05
  that and then we got
• 5:07
  surprised with the
• 5:08
  semi-finals of the women's
• 5:09
  hundred fly where uh
• 5:12
  gretchen walsh broke the
• 5:14
  world record in the hundred
• 5:15
  fly in the semi-final in
• 5:17
  the semi-final oh damn
• 5:20
  yeah it was insane um
• 5:23
  goosebumps when she did it
• 5:25
  like we were screaming the
• 5:26
  whole crowd's going nuts
• 5:28
  there are 20 over 20 000
• 5:29
  people there to watch is it
• 5:32
  a dome like it's closed
• 5:34
  right yep yeah they have a
• 5:37
  retractable roof but they
• 5:38
  did not open open that so
• 5:41
  but yeah it broke the
• 5:42
  record for biggest um
• 5:43
  swimming event ever um with
• 5:45
  over 20 000 fans
• 5:48
  And it was insane.
• 5:49
  So, yes, the times were so fast,
• 5:52
  and the swimmers were talking about it,
• 5:53
  that they couldn't lay up for the semis.
• 5:56
  They had to go, like,
• 5:58
  all out just to make it to
• 5:59
  the next round.
• 6:01
  And just a hint,
• 6:03
  in the men's semis for the
• 6:05
  100-meter breaststroke,
• 6:06
  there were 10 times within
• 6:09
  52 one-hundredths of a
• 6:10
  second of each other.
• 6:12
  And they only took the top eight.
• 6:14
  Oh, man.
• 6:15
  Yeah.
• 6:18
  So that's how insane it was.
• 6:22
  52 one-hundredths of a second.
• 6:24
  That's crazy.
• 6:25
  But the one thing I do want
• 6:27
  to kind of compare CrossFit,
• 6:29
  what I love about swimming
• 6:30
  and watching it is you get
• 6:32
  to see the whole race.
• 6:34
  We were watching it after
• 6:36
  golf and I was like, man,
• 6:38
  if CrossFit could just take
• 6:40
  a tiny bit of this, like the lane mark,
• 6:44
  the lanes with their names across it,
• 6:45
  the whole, I was like,
• 6:47
  there's like 10 lanes and
• 6:48
  you can see what's
• 6:49
  happening in all 10 lanes.
• 6:51
  Yeah, it's mostly side view.
• 6:53
  You can see who's ahead and who's not.
• 6:56
  And then once it's over,
• 6:57
  then they cut to the
• 6:59
  highlight reels of
• 7:00
  individual people or things
• 7:02
  so you can see more about it.
• 7:05
  And I wish that CrossFit
• 7:07
  would take a note from that.
• 7:09
  Yeah.
• 7:10
  Especially on sprint events.
• 7:12
  Let us see the whole thing.
• 7:13
  When it's done,
• 7:14
  then show us the close-up
• 7:15
  shots of the person winning or whatever.
• 7:18
  And I love what Lex is saying.
• 7:21
  Lex got a really good view
• 7:23
  of what a normal person
• 7:24
  looks like in the water
• 7:25
  when she was on the
• 7:28
  paddleboard last year at
• 7:29
  NorCal Classic and watching me swim.
• 7:35
  Kenneth says,
• 7:36
  that's probably the $40,000 stream.
• 7:38
  CrossFit can barely afford the $20,000.
• 7:40
  It would be cheaper to have
• 7:42
  the side camera than all
• 7:44
  the cameras on the floor.
• 7:46
  That's what I like.
• 7:47
  I don't,
• 7:47
  I'd rather they get rid of those
• 7:48
  people on the floor.
• 7:50
  Like they don't pick the good shots.
• 7:51
  Just put, yeah,
• 7:53
  just put the stationary camera,
• 7:54
  take the manpower out of it.
• 7:56
  And I think you'd have happier fans.
• 7:59
  Now,
• 7:59
  now what's cool about the camera on
• 8:01
  the sideline for the pool
• 8:02
  is it's on a track and it
• 8:04
  runs with the swimmers down
• 8:06
  the track and then it comes back.
• 8:08
  So you just, it just moves for it.
• 8:10
  So it's not stationary.
• 8:12
  It's pretty freaking,
• 8:13
  that probably is 40 grand.
• 8:16
  Sarah Cooper says,
• 8:17
  I'm more of a lazy river
• 8:18
  margarita and hand type swimmer.
• 8:23
  What was also insane is how
• 8:24
  many like swim clubs were there.
• 8:27
  like full swim teams were
• 8:30
  all in there decked out in
• 8:31
  their shirts and stuff.
• 8:34
  But because swimming is a
• 8:36
  lot like CrossFit on the female side,
• 8:38
  there are 14-, 15-,
• 8:41
  16-year-olds competing.
• 8:42
  And when they denounced the
• 8:44
  school they were with,
• 8:45
  there were some that were
• 8:46
  like the Sheboygan YMCA.
• 8:53
  And the, um,
• 8:55
  instead of like university of
• 8:56
  Maryland or USC, they had those two,
• 8:59
  but then it was like, you know,
• 9:02
  Pittsburgh downtown YMCA or
• 9:05
  this swim club or,
• 9:07
  and then the kid who won
• 9:08
  the 400 meter freestyle for
• 9:10
  the men was an Indianapolis hometown kid.
• 9:14
  And that was, that was insane.
• 9:17
  So, um,
• 9:22
  Dan Church says,
• 9:23
  I feel there was an uproar
• 9:24
  with the stationary camera
• 9:25
  with the Masters.
• 9:27
  Too soon?
• 9:28
  There's a stationary camera
• 9:30
  and there's a side angle camera.
• 9:32
  We're talking about two different things.
• 9:34
  Yeah.
• 9:36
  So,
• 9:37
  but if you ever get a chance to go to
• 9:38
  one of these things, it's really fun.
• 9:41
  Um, we had a blast.
• 9:43
  My only regret is we should have went,
• 9:45
  we should have bought two
• 9:46
  or three days of tickets
• 9:47
  because it was like the
• 9:48
  appetizer to the week and
• 9:50
  it would have been cool to
• 9:51
  like stay for a couple of
• 9:52
  days and kind of take in
• 9:54
  some more of the events.
• 9:55
  How did your mom like it?
• 9:57
  My mom could not have been happier.
• 10:00
  She was ecstatic for the whole thing.
• 10:03
  She is an Olympic nut.
• 10:05
  When August comes,
• 10:06
  she will be in front of her
• 10:07
  TV for two weeks straight.
• 10:10
  And she'll watch all the trials too.
• 10:13
  That's what she'll do for
• 10:13
  the next two weeks.
• 10:15
  She said the same thing.
• 10:16
  Wish we would have stayed.
• 10:18
  She goes,
• 10:18
  I would have taken my whole
• 10:19
  vacation budget for the
• 10:20
  year to stay a couple more
• 10:22
  days and do this.
• 10:26
  And it was really great.
• 10:27
  So glad we did that.
• 10:32
  So let's jump into some CrossFit stuff.
• 10:36
  Let's start with Josh
• 10:38
  Woolley is the head coach of Mammoth.
• 10:42
  And that is the coach of Jack Farlow,
• 10:46
  Emma Lawson, and Erica Folow.
• 10:49
  and he was doing kind of
• 10:51
  like a debrief while
• 10:52
  driving his car about how
• 10:55
  semifinals went and in that
• 10:57
  debrief made the statement
• 10:59
  that um that there was a
• 11:03
  point in time this season
• 11:05
  where they weren't sure
• 11:06
  whether emma was going to compete or not
• 11:09
  And they had to really work
• 11:10
  on her mental health to get
• 11:11
  her back in the game and
• 11:14
  back into competing.
• 11:16
  And so I wanted to talk
• 11:17
  about that because I talked
• 11:18
  about that with Alex Kazan last week,
• 11:21
  and she had a great response.
• 11:23
  And I can go ahead and play that,
• 11:25
  and then we can talk about it.
• 11:27
  So I'm going to pull up
• 11:28
  Instagram really quick.
• 11:33
  And sure I am.
• 11:38
  Oh, pause.
• 11:39
  There we go.
• 11:39
  And share screen.
• 11:42
  Here we go.
• 11:49
  And she's music.
• 11:51
  Especially like ice.
• 11:52
  Like I watched the CrossFit
• 11:53
  games a couple of years before I made it,
• 11:56
  like I was there and, um,
• 11:58
  I didn't follow like a training regimen.
• 12:00
  I just kind of like did what I wanted.
• 12:02
  It's really easy to
• 12:03
  glamorize the life of a CrossFit athlete,
• 12:07
  and I was really guilty of it as well.
• 12:09
  You just see Instagram and you're like,
• 12:10
  wow, that's the most perfect life.
• 12:14
  You get paid to train and
• 12:16
  work out and compete and
• 12:18
  all eyes are on you.
• 12:20
  But I feel like for me, this last year,
• 12:25
  once you get to a certain level,
• 12:27
  You're no longer,
• 12:28
  it doesn't quite feel like
• 12:29
  you're climbing this mountain.
• 12:30
  It feels like other people
• 12:32
  are trying to drag you off the mountain.
• 12:37
  And I'm not even like the
• 12:38
  fittest on earth.
• 12:39
  Like I'm fit when I feel that way.
• 12:46
  So thoughts?
• 12:51
  Well, I see...
• 12:53
  aaron said here seems like
• 12:55
  something is up with jack
• 12:56
  and emma and I've I feel
• 12:58
  like a lot of us have seen
• 12:59
  those kind of comments um
• 13:02
  and I am curious if there
• 13:04
  is something to do with
• 13:04
  that nobody's really spoken
• 13:08
  on it other than just now
• 13:09
  hearing about this from her
• 13:10
  coach that she you know
• 13:12
  trying to get her mental
• 13:13
  state in there I don't I
• 13:14
  don't think we have a
• 13:17
  a reasoning behind that.
• 13:19
  If it's a pressure thing,
• 13:20
  if it's a Jack and Emma thing, I mean,
• 13:24
  it's purely speculation at this point.
• 13:27
  Um,
• 13:30
  We've talked about in the
• 13:31
  past that Emma seemed the
• 13:32
  most level-headed when we
• 13:33
  talked about all the
• 13:34
  younger girls going through this.
• 13:36
  So it is surprising to hear
• 13:38
  that she was in this state
• 13:40
  of mind and considering not competing.
• 13:41
  Yeah,
• 13:43
  I'd be very curious as to what
• 13:46
  exactly led up to that.
• 13:52
  I think the easy,
• 13:53
  easy thing to say is Jack and Emma,
• 13:54
  but this is happening with not just them.
• 13:58
  It's happened with Haley
• 14:00
  Adams and Mal O'Brien and
• 14:02
  like the list keeps growing and growing.
• 14:04
  So it may not be that simple.
• 14:08
  And we just heard from Alex
• 14:10
  talking about there's a
• 14:13
  point where it changes for you.
• 14:16
  And with this conversation
• 14:17
  went on to like you have to
• 14:20
  – because you can't make
• 14:21
  money just training.
• 14:23
  You have to make money as an influencer,
• 14:25
  and there's pressures with that.
• 14:27
  And you have to be on the internet,
• 14:29
  and it subjects you to a lot of things.
• 14:34
  Yeah, because like –
• 14:35
  I mean, a lot of those top athletes,
• 14:39
  their salary is dependent
• 14:40
  on their performance,
• 14:41
  which is already something
• 14:43
  that puts a lot of pressure
• 14:46
  on you just to have to
• 14:47
  perform so that you have
• 14:48
  that extra income.
• 14:50
  And then
• 14:51
  for athletes like Emma that
• 14:53
  do have those top
• 14:54
  sponsorship dollars and stuff,
• 14:55
  they have some obligations to post things,
• 14:57
  which is why I think
• 14:58
  sometimes having a good agent,
• 15:00
  which she does with Snorri,
• 15:02
  and they kind of guide them
• 15:04
  in terms of the social media posting,
• 15:08
  and sometimes someone might
• 15:09
  just need someone else to
• 15:11
  take that off their plate
• 15:12
  for them so that they don't
• 15:14
  have to be on social media as much.
• 15:16
  It seems like she still has...
• 15:19
  some sort of balance,
• 15:20
  like she was able to like
• 15:22
  do certain things,
• 15:23
  maybe go for hikes and
• 15:25
  stuff with Jack and goes to
• 15:28
  prom and stuff like that.
• 15:29
  But I still think it's a,
• 15:32
  it's a tough sport.
• 15:33
  Like it's an individual sport.
• 15:34
  You're oftentimes by yourself,
• 15:36
  whether she's at home doing her workouts.
• 15:40
  It's just a long,
• 15:42
  and hard life like training
• 15:44
  all day and and missing a
• 15:45
  lot of things like even
• 15:47
  though she could be
• 15:47
  attending certain things
• 15:48
  like it still is just very
• 15:50
  hard mentally to to do that
• 15:53
  almost all year round um so
• 15:56
  I mean I can't say I'm
• 15:57
  surprised um like people
• 16:01
  can show that they're
• 16:01
  level-headed all they want
• 16:03
  on social media but you
• 16:04
  know we're all going
• 16:05
  through things and it is
• 16:07
  tough like so um hopefully she can
• 16:11
  find the right support and
• 16:16
  continue to compete.
• 16:19
  But if she doesn't,
• 16:21
  it's not the end of the world.
• 16:22
  There's other things that they can do.
• 16:29
  Yeah.
• 16:32
  It's so tough,
• 16:33
  and it seems like once you
• 16:36
  get past a certain age,
• 16:37
  then I don't know if it's
• 16:38
  easier to handle.
• 16:39
  I mean,
• 16:40
  you've done this for a couple years now,
• 16:42
  Carolyn.
• 16:42
  There's pressures with it, I'm sure,
• 16:44
  even at your age.
• 16:46
  But that's,
• 16:46
  but I feel like my pressure is
• 16:48
  different because I have a full-time job.
• 16:50
  And like, at the end of the day,
• 16:52
  like I didn't qualify this year.
• 16:53
  I didn't qualify last year.
• 16:54
  It's like, okay,
• 16:55
  I go back to school as a teacher,
• 16:57
  not in school.
• 16:58
  Um, I go back to work and yeah, it sucks.
• 17:02
  It stings.
• 17:03
  It's frustrating,
• 17:04
  especially that first week back.
• 17:05
  Like you're just seeing a
• 17:06
  lot of posts of stuff and
• 17:07
  you're just kind of trying to ignore it.
• 17:08
  But it's like, for me,
• 17:10
  life goes on and I have
• 17:13
  another source of income
• 17:15
  with teaching and,
• 17:17
  and having that balance there is,
• 17:19
  is huge for me.
• 17:21
  You know, like I want,
• 17:23
  like it makes me want to
• 17:24
  play sports again,
• 17:25
  just doing other things.
• 17:26
  Like I miss being an athlete.
• 17:28
  Like I miss playing sports.
• 17:29
  Like I want to play soccer again.
• 17:31
  I want to go and not be
• 17:33
  scared to be injured for my
• 17:34
  sport of CrossFit.
• 17:35
  Like I,
• 17:37
  it just,
• 17:38
  it opens up other doors where I
• 17:39
  think that other people can
• 17:40
  have a balanced life.
• 17:42
  Um,
• 17:43
  so I don't know if I can consider
• 17:44
  myself in the same position,
• 17:45
  even though like I'm older,
• 17:47
  just because I have
• 17:49
  something else in my life.
• 17:50
  Like it just, it just helps in times where,
• 17:52
  you know, you do get that pressure.
• 17:54
  You feel that pressure.
• 17:55
  You are sad.
• 17:56
  You're like, okay,
• 17:57
  you're busy doing something else.
• 17:59
  That's not related to CrossFit.
• 18:01
  And it just kind of fulfills
• 18:02
  your day in a different way.
• 18:04
  I think a lot of these
• 18:05
  athletes don't have that.
• 18:07
  They don't have that other outlet.
• 18:11
  That's a completely
• 18:12
  different thing than
• 18:13
  CrossFit where if you take CrossFit away,
• 18:16
  are they okay?
• 18:17
  You know, for me,
• 18:18
  like if I'm not competing in this,
• 18:20
  like if I'm not qualifying,
• 18:22
  like I still love CrossFit
• 18:24
  and training and the community of,
• 18:28
  you know,
• 18:28
  of people that I have at my
• 18:30
  affiliate of CrossFit Coliseum.
• 18:31
  Like I love my people there.
• 18:35
  Whether I'm training for a
• 18:36
  competition or I'm just training,
• 18:37
  I'm still going to continue
• 18:38
  to do CrossFit,
• 18:40
  and that's not going to change.
• 18:42
  A lot of people train alone at their gym,
• 18:45
  at their house,
• 18:45
  so they don't have that
• 18:46
  community of people as much.
• 18:48
  It doesn't even matter what
• 18:49
  place you finish.
• 18:51
  I went to Sarnia this weekend,
• 18:52
  and that's my home where my parents live.
• 18:56
  like the amount of members
• 18:57
  that followed me at
• 18:58
  semifinals and they didn't care.
• 19:00
  I finished in the 20th,
• 19:02
  something like that.
• 19:02
  Like they were so excited for me.
• 19:04
  And like, you know,
• 19:07
  that's why you go to an affiliate.
• 19:08
  That's why you,
• 19:09
  you stay in that affiliate and you,
• 19:11
  and you make connections
• 19:12
  with members and all around the world.
• 19:15
  Like that, that's,
• 19:16
  that's another type of
• 19:17
  balance that you can have with,
• 19:19
  with the sport.
• 19:21
  Yeah, it's a couple things here.
• 19:24
  Lex said,
• 19:25
  I think it's different for a
• 19:27
  30-year-old than it is a 20-year-old.
• 19:30
  And it's probably because
• 19:34
  you have different
• 19:34
  perspectives in life at that point.
• 19:37
  The other thing that Alex
• 19:39
  said is that being an
• 19:40
  athlete has put such a
• 19:41
  strain on her relationship with Jake.
• 19:44
  Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
• 19:47
  They have one day off and she's tired.
• 19:49
  Yeah.
• 19:51
  I actually, I think fortunately,
• 19:54
  like having the Masters and whatnot,
• 19:59
  it's obviously easier to
• 20:01
  make the Masters.
• 20:02
  But if there wasn't, I think you might see,
• 20:06
  it surprises me, honestly, that like,
• 20:09
  people like Ariel and Kara
• 20:12
  are able to keep doing this.
• 20:13
  Cause I find that I am like Alex said,
• 20:17
  it's a very selfish sport.
• 20:19
  I am extremely selfish and I
• 20:22
  don't think I could keep doing this.
• 20:26
  If like, if I was in their shoes and,
• 20:31
  and wasn't making money,
• 20:35
  well, they're making money.
• 20:36
  So where Alex went,
• 20:38
  Alex kind of lost me in
• 20:39
  that a little bit.
• 20:40
  Um, but like, I couldn't,
• 20:42
  if I was like 26 and just had Lucas,
• 20:46
  I don't know that I could
• 20:47
  do this without having a
• 20:50
  monetary income from it
• 20:52
  because the self that
• 20:53
  selfishness doesn't make
• 20:54
  sense at that point.
• 20:57
  Um, and like,
• 21:00
  Alex is able to do it
• 21:01
  because she's monetarily gaining from it.
• 21:03
  Like that's why she's able
• 21:04
  to sacrifice and have one day with Jake.
• 21:08
  I'm I,
• 21:08
  it sometimes surprises me how
• 21:10
  selfish I am with my time.
• 21:11
  Like there are times that I
• 21:12
  don't want to go like Alex said,
• 21:14
  don't want to go out and do a hike.
• 21:16
  Don't even want to go golfing 18 holes.
• 21:19
  Like my back hurts and I
• 21:20
  don't even want to play
• 21:21
  golf with my mom on Tuesday nights.
• 21:22
  Like there's things that like,
• 21:25
  I don't want to go to my
• 21:26
  cousin's bachelor party,
• 21:28
  bachelorette party.
• 21:28
  Like,
• 21:30
  I should be able to enjoy these things.
• 21:31
  And I don't always want to
• 21:34
  because I'm tired.
• 21:34
  I agree.
• 21:39
  I think that's a lot of it.
• 21:42
  But you have enough life
• 21:43
  experience to kind of like
• 21:45
  push through that at times.
• 21:47
  Where I think when you're 19, 18, even 20,
• 21:51
  those are all new kinds of
• 21:53
  things for you.
• 21:56
  And it's like the new followers,
• 21:57
  the new sponsorships, the new...
• 22:00
  swag that's just like the
• 22:02
  popularity like there's
• 22:03
  just like other types of
• 22:04
  things I get it's different
• 22:07
  yeah it's different before
• 22:10
  everybody goes off in wild
• 22:11
  stories the crutches behind
• 22:14
  jamie are her husband's
• 22:15
  from a surgery he had six months ago
• 22:20
  Uh, yeah, I guess it was.
• 22:22
  Yeah.
• 22:23
  Round is,
• 22:23
  I think it was right after right
• 22:26
  around Christmas.
• 22:27
  Yeah.
• 22:27
  Yeah.
• 22:28
  They're the house crutches.
• 22:29
  Jamie does not have any need
• 22:31
  for the crutches at this moment.
• 22:33
  If you,
• 22:33
  if you didn't have the master's division,
• 22:35
  um, to compete,
• 22:39
  would you train less and
• 22:40
  then do other things?
• 22:42
  Probably.
• 22:42
  I don't, yeah.
• 22:43
  Like I don't even know what I would be,
• 22:46
  what would I be aiming for?
• 22:48
  Because, like, for me, I need to, like,
• 22:50
  I love competing.
• 22:51
  It keeps me motivated.
• 22:52
  It keeps me, like, okay, like, it's like,
• 22:54
  you know, you don't qualify for summits.
• 22:56
  It's like, hey, what's the next thing that,
• 22:57
  you know,
• 22:57
  I'm kind of training for so I
• 22:58
  don't get so lazy?
• 23:01
  Like, I like competing.
• 23:02
  I would probably find, you know,
• 23:03
  like something like a high rocks.
• 23:04
  You know, I'm not a great runner distance.
• 23:06
  I'd find a sport like a, you know, pickup,
• 23:11
  whatever, volleyball,
• 23:12
  beach volleyball league,
• 23:13
  a summer softball league.
• 23:16
  you know, find any type of sport to play.
• 23:18
  Like I'd want to find
• 23:19
  something that I can still
• 23:21
  stay active and play and have fun.
• 23:23
  Um,
• 23:24
  like if there wasn't like cross at
• 23:26
  competitions, like for like older people,
• 23:29
  I'd probably train less and
• 23:29
  just find other sports.
• 23:31
  Like I just like competing.
• 23:32
  I like, I like playing sports.
• 23:34
  Oh, I do too.
• 23:35
  I probably would train less.
• 23:37
  Yeah.
• 23:38
  And Aaron and I talked about that,
• 23:39
  this a little bit yesterday.
• 23:41
  Um,
• 23:44
  you know if if CrossFit
• 23:45
  hadn't got so big and like
• 23:48
  and people and people did
• 23:50
  take things like kind of
• 23:51
  like how like Scott
• 23:51
  Pantrick has said like he's
• 23:53
  backed way off and he just
• 23:54
  does class and he feels a
• 23:55
  whole lot better like can
• 23:58
  you imagine if like we like
• 24:00
  you didn't dive head first
• 24:01
  into this and try to spend
• 24:03
  three four hours a day
• 24:04
  training yourself into like
• 24:05
  where you're just in you're
• 24:07
  sore every single day and
• 24:08
  nothing ever feels good
• 24:09
  like we would probably feel like
• 24:13
  pretty great humans and and
• 24:15
  be really fit and we just
• 24:17
  we don't really even know
• 24:17
  what we're missing at this
• 24:18
  point because we're
• 24:18
  training ourselves into the
• 24:19
  ground for god knows what
• 24:26
  for life I feel like I've
• 24:28
  ripped a band-aid off I
• 24:34
  just think it's an
• 24:35
  interesting topic because
• 24:38
  we're at a point where
• 24:41
  if the sport doesn't grow, like the,
• 24:44
  the money to support these
• 24:45
  kids are not going to be there to do,
• 24:46
  to do this.
• 24:48
  Right.
• 24:48
  Yeah.
• 24:49
  And
• 24:50
  And this is only going to
• 24:53
  grow in different directions.
• 24:54
  The last thing I'm going to
• 24:55
  say is I asked Alex this question.
• 24:58
  If you could make money by
• 24:59
  doing competitions like these,
• 25:03
  like doing your
• 25:04
  quarterfinals live on air
• 25:06
  or beat Taylor or some of
• 25:09
  these other things, like reps ahead,
• 25:11
  things like that,
• 25:13
  would you rather do that
• 25:14
  than do the postings for
• 25:16
  Reebok and so and so?
• 25:18
  And she said, absolutely.
• 25:19
  Absolutely.
• 25:22
  And so I do think there's
• 25:23
  pressures with the
• 25:24
  sponsorship type model that
• 25:28
  the athletes are making
• 25:29
  their money through.
• 25:32
  And it's a shame that people
• 25:34
  can make more money doing
• 25:36
  their quarterfinals live in
• 25:37
  a group than they can by
• 25:39
  winning a semifinal.
• 25:41
  Yeah.
• 25:42
  Or top five in the open.
• 25:44
  Yeah.
• 25:45
  I mean,
• 25:45
  top five in the open makes more
• 25:46
  money than winning a semifinal.
• 25:50
  There's a lot of things out
• 25:52
  of whack that we got to figure out.
• 25:55
  But anyway.
• 25:57
  But I think the mental part
• 25:58
  of it is just always going to be there.
• 26:00
  That's in every sport, you know,
• 26:04
  and it's getting harder and harder,
• 26:05
  I think,
• 26:06
  with the newer generation and the
• 26:08
  amount of social media that's out there.
• 26:09
  And, like,
• 26:10
  we never had as much pressure through,
• 26:13
  like,
• 26:13
  the social media part when we were
• 26:14
  younger because we could
• 26:15
  just compete and we would
• 26:16
  show up and you would hear
• 26:17
  about certain athletes in
• 26:18
  the papers and stuff.
• 26:19
  But it's just a completely different –
• 26:24
  athletic world now.
• 26:25
  Like you have to sell
• 26:26
  yourself as an athlete
• 26:27
  continuously to try to get
• 26:29
  sponsorships so that you
• 26:31
  can be a full-time athlete
• 26:33
  and not have to have a secondary income.
• 26:36
  Um, cause you know, at the end of the day,
• 26:37
  like you want to be a full-time athlete,
• 26:38
  like it's much easier, I guess,
• 26:40
  for your sport, but, um,
• 26:43
  it just comes with the
• 26:44
  territory of being a full-time athlete.
• 26:45
  You have to be a full-time
• 26:47
  promoter of yourself.
• 26:49
  Uh, so it's how to calc in you,
• 26:51
  distinguish yourself from
• 26:52
  the other athlete.
• 26:54
  Are you going to be someone
• 26:55
  else online so that you can
• 26:56
  get these sponsorships versus, you know,
• 26:59
  actually just being your
• 27:00
  authentic self and not, you know,
• 27:02
  not selling products that
• 27:03
  you don't care about.
• 27:04
  So, you know, it just, who do you want to,
• 27:08
  who do you want to be as a
• 27:09
  Instagram person or influencer?
• 27:12
  And some people make it more
• 27:14
  there than obviously their
• 27:15
  sporting career.
• 27:16
  Yeah.
• 27:18
  So your comment brought up a
• 27:20
  question that I have, and that is,
• 27:22
  you know, in a lot of sports,
• 27:25
  we say that the way Patrick
• 27:27
  Mahomes becomes Patrick
• 27:28
  Mahomes is because he is tough mentally.
• 27:33
  And like,
• 27:33
  he can throw an interception and
• 27:35
  the next play doesn't care
• 27:37
  and just goes out and
• 27:39
  throws like he did before, right?
• 27:40
  Goldfish.
• 27:42
  Are we...
• 27:44
  Are we making light of a
• 27:46
  situation that's just sports?
• 27:49
  Like every athlete has these
• 27:53
  points where they have to
• 27:54
  overcome or they're going to lose.
• 28:00
  I think this goes back in
• 28:03
  line with a lot of people
• 28:03
  lately being pushing for more like
• 28:06
  sanctionals back type.
• 28:07
  Like,
• 28:08
  Patrick Mahomes has multiple
• 28:10
  opportunities in one game
• 28:11
  to mess up and recover.
• 28:13
  You literally, like,
• 28:16
  somebody commented here about Anika.
• 28:18
  Like, her year is over, essentially.
• 28:21
  Like, you have one shot, and that's it.
• 28:24
  And you have to wait a whole
• 28:25
  other year to try again.
• 28:27
  And that is hard.
• 28:30
  That's, I think,
• 28:31
  where when you broached
• 28:32
  that question with
• 28:34
  Alex, like, of course,
• 28:36
  we would want like five
• 28:38
  separate competitions that
• 28:39
  we could just whether like
• 28:40
  if the open was its own
• 28:41
  competition and semifinals
• 28:42
  its own competition.
• 28:43
  And I mean,
• 28:44
  in Wadapalooza is kind of in
• 28:46
  rogue is like, but if those like,
• 28:48
  all mattered and could you got like,
• 28:53
  it just can't all come down
• 28:54
  to the CrossFit Games.
• 28:55
  I think that's what is so
• 28:56
  stressful for people.
• 28:58
  but I think that's what
• 28:59
  these other competitions are doing.
• 29:00
  Like some athletes, like,
• 29:01
  I don't know what podcast it was,
• 29:03
  but it was like, you know,
• 29:03
  someone like Lazar and even like,
• 29:07
  I feel like Freova,
• 29:08
  like they just do
• 29:09
  competitions all the time.
• 29:11
  And it's like,
• 29:13
  if you can just go to all of
• 29:14
  these like European
• 29:15
  competitions and get five
• 29:16
  grand this weekend,
• 29:17
  get a 10,000 this weekend.
• 29:19
  And like,
• 29:22
  the outside of the crossfit
• 29:23
  game season has a way
• 29:25
  higher earning opportunity
• 29:27
  for most of the athletes
• 29:29
  like only a handful of
• 29:31
  athletes at the games are
• 29:32
  really making significant
• 29:33
  money other than that you
• 29:35
  may as well go on all of
• 29:36
  these out of season
• 29:37
  competitions and make way
• 29:39
  more money than the
• 29:40
  crossfit game season and I
• 29:42
  think you're going to start
• 29:43
  seeing athletes do that
• 29:45
  Like where it's just like, okay,
• 29:46
  you don't make it out of the semifinals.
• 29:47
  Okay.
• 29:48
  I'm going to go to,
• 29:48
  I'm going to try to go to Rogue,
• 29:50
  Guadalupe, Madrid, um, crash,
• 29:53
  like all of these, like, you know, uh,
• 29:55
  major Dubai.
• 29:57
  And then kind of like the
• 29:58
  ones are underneath NorCal classic, um,
• 30:01
  and try to make way more money that way.
• 30:03
  Cause you know, a 10th place at the games,
• 30:07
  like you're getting that in
• 30:08
  a local competition.
• 30:10
  What does it say about
• 30:11
  someone like Konica who has
• 30:13
  faced all of these
• 30:16
  All of these, like one point out,
• 30:18
  three points out.
• 30:20
  Losing her spot.
• 30:22
  They cancel the team games
• 30:23
  the year she qualifies.
• 30:25
  It just,
• 30:26
  for not getting her thing to upload.
• 30:29
  Like all of these obstacles
• 30:30
  she's faced and she's still
• 30:32
  here battling.
• 30:34
  You know what I mean?
• 30:35
  Then you have like the
• 30:38
  people who are successful
• 30:39
  and they hit adversity and now,
• 30:43
  and then they get into
• 30:44
  these things where we got
• 30:44
  to take a year off.
• 30:48
  I think it says a lot about
• 30:50
  Anika as a person and what
• 30:52
  she can handle and how tough she is.
• 30:55
  Yeah, to keep coming back.
• 30:56
  Yeah.
• 30:58
  But that's just a side note for me.
• 31:04
  I think we beat that one to death.
• 31:07
  I think it's just interesting.
• 31:08
  It's something that we'll
• 31:09
  have to watch over the next year.
• 31:11
  But I want to move on to the
• 31:13
  Service Cup that went on last week.
• 31:16
  I'll be at that one as well.
• 31:20
  There's a lot of people.
• 31:24
  I heard it was a blast of a con,
• 31:25
  a competition.
• 31:28
  It was good.
• 31:29
  Minus the swim for me, but yeah,
• 31:32
  the venue was great.
• 31:33
  They're changing venues this year,
• 31:34
  but it just had like a cool
• 31:37
  summer feeling outdoor.
• 31:38
  People have their tents up.
• 31:40
  Like it just was a great community event.
• 31:43
  Um, Wolverine, everything was on time.
• 31:46
  Um, yeah, they put on, they put on great.
• 31:48
  They paid us right away there.
• 31:49
  Like it,
• 31:50
  It's great.
• 31:53
  Yeah,
• 31:53
  and there's going to be a lot of those.
• 31:54
  Crash.
• 31:56
  Have you seen the lineup for Metcon Rush?
• 31:59
  Essentially,
• 31:59
  everybody who just missed the
• 32:01
  games is going to Metcon Rush.
• 32:03
  Yeah, they hadn't asked me,
• 32:05
  but I don't want to.
• 32:07
  There's too many things going on.
• 32:08
  I'm going to enjoy a little
• 32:10
  bit more of my summer.
• 32:10
  Yeah,
• 32:12
  I could not believe the lineup they have.
• 32:14
  Looks like it's going to be a great comp,
• 32:15
  though.
• 32:16
  Yeah.
• 32:17
  I'm going to try to get out
• 32:17
  there for that.
• 32:18
  Um,
• 32:18
  I know thick boy is going to be there and,
• 32:21
  uh,
• 32:21
  I'm going to try to do some interviews
• 32:23
  that live at his booth and my con rush.
• 32:25
  So we'll try to do that.
• 32:28
  But something else that was
• 32:29
  going on this week is, uh,
• 32:33
  the service cup,
• 32:35
  which you just finished up.
• 32:37
  How'd that,
• 32:38
  we talked about it a little bit
• 32:39
  last week.
• 32:40
  You had done half of the workouts, uh,
• 32:42
  Yeah, I had done two out of the three.
• 32:44
  I finished up Daniel,
• 32:47
  which was the 50 pull-ups,
• 32:49
  the run with the thrusters,
• 32:51
  kind of like a pyramid out
• 32:52
  and back this week at school.
• 32:55
  I did it Tuesday.
• 32:57
  just before lunchtime.
• 32:59
  And it was, it was, I mean,
• 33:01
  it was a good workout.
• 33:01
  I hadn't done that one before.
• 33:02
  I just,
• 33:03
  it was just annoying to grab my
• 33:04
  phone after all the runs,
• 33:06
  go to the screen,
• 33:07
  come back to like magnetize
• 33:09
  it where it was,
• 33:09
  make sure everything is in
• 33:10
  frame for the next movement.
• 33:12
  But it was fun.
• 33:13
  It was good.
• 33:14
  Um, like I have my level two and I,
• 33:18
  I have to renew mine before September,
• 33:22
  end of September.
• 33:23
  So you could win a level one or level two.
• 33:25
  And then if you have your level two,
• 33:28
  you could also get three,
• 33:31
  three courses online for free.
• 33:33
  I'm still debating whether I
• 33:34
  want to do my level three.
• 33:35
  So I figured one,
• 33:39
  I've always participated in
• 33:40
  like the occupational games
• 33:42
  and everything.
• 33:44
  And then may as well,
• 33:46
  Do this one,
• 33:47
  try to be the fittest teacher.
• 33:49
  Didn't know if there was
• 33:49
  other like higher level teachers,
• 33:53
  like semi-final athletes
• 33:54
  that were gonna take part in it,
• 33:56
  but I did it and hopefully
• 33:58
  all my videos are good and
• 34:00
  then I can get some online
• 34:02
  courses covered.
• 34:04
  And my idea too is eventually,
• 34:07
  let's say I do have my level, like my,
• 34:09
  all my courses and they
• 34:10
  want to continue doing that
• 34:12
  is I'd like to give a
• 34:13
  scholarship to one of my
• 34:14
  students eventually and use it,
• 34:15
  hopefully use that code and, you know,
• 34:19
  give that to a student
• 34:21
  that's looking to go in
• 34:21
  kinesiology and is really
• 34:23
  interested in fitness and
• 34:24
  stuff like that.
• 34:25
  I think that would be cool.
• 34:26
  So that's another reason I
• 34:27
  want to hopefully accumulate these,
• 34:30
  these codes.
• 34:32
  Is the, is the leaderboard live?
• 34:34
  Yeah.
• 34:35
  Did you meet Dave?
• 34:37
  Yes, I did.
• 34:38
  Okay.
• 34:40
  I ended up winning all three
• 34:41
  of the workouts, which I was happy about,
• 34:44
  in all the divisions.
• 34:45
  Nice.
• 34:46
  Happy about that.
• 34:47
  Good redemption after my semifinal.
• 34:52
  Yeah.
• 34:52
  Well, that's awesome.
• 34:53
  I'm glad they brought that back.
• 34:55
  I think that's important,
• 34:56
  and glad they're going to do that.
• 35:00
  What was unique about this
• 35:01
  year is in the past,
• 35:03
  they put the occupational
• 35:04
  games either like through
• 35:06
  the open or they would run
• 35:07
  it at the same time as, let's say,
• 35:09
  the master's age group.
• 35:11
  And they were the same workouts.
• 35:12
  So people just kind of signed up for both.
• 35:14
  This time it was more, you know,
• 35:15
  it was just service cup,
• 35:17
  a special weekend or week
• 35:19
  of workouts just for for people like.
• 35:23
  you know, in those divisions,
• 35:25
  which I thought was unique.
• 35:26
  And a lot of the gyms ended
• 35:28
  up doing those workouts as well.
• 35:31
  I know our affiliate did the workouts.
• 35:37
  Okay, cool.
• 35:40
  I'm trying to find the RX Markier story.
• 35:44
  Was it in a story?
• 35:46
  Yes, it was a story.
• 35:49
  But Dave Newman posted...
• 35:53
  a video of explanation.
• 35:54
  Um, I can't find that one anymore,
• 35:57
  but I think it was a story only.
• 36:01
  Okay.
• 36:01
  He has it on the, uh, the RX CEO,
• 36:04
  RX marketer CEO.
• 36:05
  I just found it.
• 36:06
  Oh.
• 36:07
  Um,
• 36:08
  so I'm going to show that cause that's
• 36:10
  our next story and I
• 36:12
  haven't listened to this,
• 36:13
  so we'll just listen to it together live.
• 36:17
  Okay,
• 36:18
  the verdict is in and the Alex Smith
• 36:20
  grips are banned from CrossFit.
• 36:23
  They will not be allowed at
• 36:24
  the CrossFit Games.
• 36:26
  No, this is not a joke.
• 36:27
  After multiple conversations
• 36:29
  and emails with competition
• 36:30
  director Adrian Bosman,
• 36:32
  it has been determined that
• 36:33
  the Smith grips do not meet
• 36:35
  the hand protection
• 36:36
  guidelines as written in
• 36:38
  the 2024 rule book.
• 36:39
  But fear not.
• 36:41
  If you currently use Alex
• 36:43
  Smith grips and you are
• 36:44
  competing at the CrossFit
• 36:45
  Games in Dallas this August,
• 36:48
  Email info at rxmarketer.com
• 36:50
  and we will mail you a
• 36:52
  legal pair of Smith grips
• 36:54
  with a slight modification.
• 36:56
  They will be allowed on the
• 36:57
  competition floor so you
• 36:58
  can grip it and rip it.
• 37:04
  All right.
• 37:06
  So basically I saw a thing.
• 37:09
  They're stitched so thickly
• 37:13
  that it simulates a dowel.
• 37:15
  Mm-hmm.
• 37:16
  Um, and that's why they're illegal.
• 37:18
  Um, but they are illegal.
• 37:19
  I think it's cool.
• 37:21
  One, just to be clear,
• 37:22
  RX market was our first big
• 37:23
  sponsor on the show and
• 37:25
  they were a sponsor for a
• 37:26
  couple of years.
• 37:27
  So, um, you know,
• 37:30
  they've been very good to us.
• 37:31
  Dave is a great friend.
• 37:32
  Um,
• 37:34
  and I think it but I do
• 37:35
  think it's cool that they
• 37:37
  are willing to replace
• 37:39
  these free of charge for
• 37:40
  anybody because they want
• 37:42
  them to have something
• 37:42
  illegal at the crossfit
• 37:43
  games so great move on rx
• 37:46
  markers part part sure do
• 37:50
  you guys use anything like
• 37:51
  that or you just use the floppy grip
• 37:54
  I have bear complex.
• 37:57
  But most of them, I mean,
• 37:59
  even if they use the Alex Smith grips,
• 38:02
  when you flop them,
• 38:03
  are their hands on that part?
• 38:05
  Or are they just like on
• 38:07
  like the medium part of the grip?
• 38:12
  So I think they're shorter
• 38:13
  than like the traditional grips.
• 38:16
  You can't flop them like the traditional.
• 38:20
  But like my thing is,
• 38:21
  is like something like the frog grip.
• 38:24
  In the,
• 38:25
  in the rule book of the CrossFit games,
• 38:27
  they talk about, you know,
• 38:28
  not adding a grip that's very,
• 38:30
  I don't know, not sticky, but, uh,
• 38:34
  what is it called?
• 38:34
  Like getting additional.
• 38:38
  unfair advantage unfair
• 38:40
  advantage like to me I feel
• 38:41
  like some some of the grips
• 38:43
  right now are so sticky
• 38:45
  that that's more of an
• 38:48
  advantage than than the
• 38:49
  dowel almost like yeah
• 38:51
  you're stuck on you're
• 38:53
  literally stuck on on the
• 38:54
  rig so I'm I'm wondering
• 38:57
  whether there's going to be some
• 39:01
  I don't know,
• 39:02
  they're going to start
• 39:02
  looking at some of the
• 39:03
  different types of grips
• 39:04
  that are starting to come
• 39:05
  out there because, I mean,
• 39:06
  it can make a huge
• 39:08
  difference whether you're
• 39:09
  needing to chalk up between
• 39:12
  movements or between sets
• 39:14
  or if you just can...
• 39:16
  glue on the bar yeah um so
• 39:19
  what I don't know I think
• 39:20
  that's more of an advantage
• 39:21
  than I've never tried the
• 39:22
  frog grips but I've heard
• 39:24
  that they're so sticky
• 39:25
  right um so I'm just
• 39:28
  curious whether they'll
• 39:29
  start looking into all the
• 39:30
  materials that are actually
• 39:32
  being used um here's here's
• 39:36
  what I'm confused with so I
• 39:38
  have element 26 chocolate scripts
• 39:42
  And they're like a little
• 39:43
  bit of a rubber coating.
• 39:44
  And they, I wouldn't say they're tacky,
• 39:47
  but you don't need chalk
• 39:48
  and it sticks pretty good.
• 39:51
  Like,
• 39:51
  but not like so much that I'm going
• 39:53
  to knock out a bunch of stuff.
• 39:56
  But anyway,
• 39:57
  but if there's chalk on the bar,
• 39:59
  they're useless.
• 40:01
  Like if you get chalk on a chalkless grip,
• 40:03
  all of a sudden it's not
• 40:06
  effective at all.
• 40:07
  It's less than effective.
• 40:11
  You saw people at semifinal
• 40:12
  with a towel now literally coming,
• 40:14
  like when they come to the floor,
• 40:15
  they're coming to wipe the bars now.
• 40:19
  So that could be the same
• 40:21
  for the front grip.
• 40:22
  Yep.
• 40:23
  That's why they're doing it.
• 40:25
  Okay.
• 40:28
  Yeah, because I didn't, like, you know,
• 40:30
  at a community gym,
• 40:31
  like the bars aren't
• 40:32
  cleaned after every class.
• 40:34
  No.
• 40:35
  Right?
• 40:36
  And if there's chalk on the bar,
• 40:37
  like I might as well not
• 40:38
  even wear a grip.
• 40:39
  Yeah.
• 40:39
  Yeah.
• 40:40
  Cause it just slides right off.
• 40:42
  Yeah.
• 40:48
  So kind of says easy fix
• 40:50
  CrossFit supplies a gear at
• 40:51
  the games and you can only
• 40:51
  use their gear.
• 40:53
  Then all sponsorship deals are gone.
• 40:58
  And you've taken away
• 40:59
  another way for athletes to make money.
• 41:04
  And a lot of these companies
• 41:06
  are like small niche CrossFit companies.
• 41:08
  Like, you know, the grips, like,
• 41:11
  it's hard to tell them like, Oh,
• 41:12
  you can't have these grips anymore.
• 41:14
  And do you think,
• 41:18
  I don't know if I totally
• 41:19
  agree with that.
• 41:20
  Like just because everyone's
• 41:23
  wearing was wearing noble
• 41:25
  at the games doesn't mean
• 41:27
  they don't wear something
• 41:28
  else every other day in the gym, wherever,
• 41:31
  like,
• 41:32
  and that's what their daily videos show,
• 41:35
  like what they like to wear.
• 41:37
  So, um,
• 41:40
  I mean,
• 41:40
  I think you could probably get more
• 41:42
  traction out of your daily
• 41:46
  training posts with the
• 41:49
  item that you actually
• 41:50
  truly want to train with
• 41:53
  because you're forced to
• 41:54
  wear whatever at the games.
• 41:56
  See,
• 41:57
  I don't think we should go back to
• 41:58
  just like Bruce Ray and
• 42:00
  just like your hands.
• 42:02
  The workouts would have to
• 42:03
  significantly change if we
• 42:05
  were to not have grips.
• 42:08
  But there would be like...
• 42:10
  No butterflying as much like
• 42:12
  the like you couldn't have high,
• 42:14
  high volume gymnastics on on the bars.
• 42:18
  I mean,
• 42:18
  I get that you get used to it to a
• 42:20
  certain extent,
• 42:21
  but you want to see the
• 42:24
  best athletes be able to
• 42:25
  continue to finish the
• 42:26
  weekend and not have.
• 42:28
  you know,
• 42:28
  ripped up hands and bloody hands all over,
• 42:33
  right?
• 42:34
  So the grip is important for protection.
• 42:37
  It's just what's the line of
• 42:39
  protection and just completely unfair,
• 42:44
  right?
• 42:46
  Yeah.
• 42:48
  You already see bloody hands with grips.
• 42:52
  It's going to get 10 times worse without.
• 42:57
  And then it becomes almost a safety issue.
• 43:00
  Yeah.
• 43:02
  Yeah.
• 43:02
  I don't think anyone really
• 43:03
  is other than Bruce is
• 43:05
  purporting takeaway grips.
• 43:07
  I just,
• 43:08
  it shouldn't be a standard piece of gear.
• 43:10
  Maybe it maybe should be
• 43:12
  something that's provided
• 43:15
  if they want one level playing field.
• 43:20
  But I do want to say,
• 43:21
  if you're a smaller company
• 43:23
  like Bear Complex or
• 43:25
  Element 26 or Frog Grips,
• 43:28
  you're hoping to get that
• 43:31
  picture of your athlete at
• 43:33
  the games in their games
• 43:34
  gear with that thing on their wrist, hand,
• 43:39
  waist, whatever.
• 43:40
  That's a money shot for a sponsor.
• 43:45
  And I think when the
• 43:46
  everyday use in the gym
• 43:48
  doesn't have that same
• 43:49
  effect as seeing them at
• 43:51
  the games with it on.
• 43:54
  If you can get it.
• 43:59
  So, there's that.
• 44:04
  So here's the next update for us.
• 44:06
  Last week,
• 44:06
  I made a plea to our audience to,
• 44:11
  if they wanted us to cover
• 44:13
  the Masters CrossFit Games
• 44:15
  with a behind-the-scenes to
• 44:17
  reach out to the organizers,
• 44:20
  and some of you did, and it was awesome.
• 44:23
  Thank you so much.
• 44:25
  I got a text from Joe Linton
• 44:27
  the following day,
• 44:29
  asking for a meeting.
• 44:30
  I met with him last Thursday.
• 44:32
  He is excited to have us come and do that.
• 44:36
  We just have to make sure
• 44:37
  that we don't step on toes
• 44:39
  with other media being
• 44:42
  brought in to stream the event.
• 44:44
  So I had to do a write-up for them,
• 44:46
  sent that off.
• 44:48
  They're going to talk to the
• 44:49
  media company and see where
• 44:51
  it is that we can get approval,
• 44:53
  where we can't.
• 44:54
  But I'm optimistic that
• 44:56
  we're going to get pretty
• 44:57
  good approval for that and
• 44:59
  be able to bring you a
• 45:00
  behind-the-scenes of the
• 45:02
  Masters CrossFit Games.
• 45:04
  That's awesome.
• 45:05
  Good job.
• 45:08
  Thank you for the people that pushed this,
• 45:11
  and it's a good job, listeners.
• 45:14
  Yeah, there were some, especially one,
• 45:17
  that reached out
• 45:18
  immediately after the show.
• 45:22
  And so, yeah,
• 45:23
  we got an immediate response
• 45:24
  from Joe the next day.
• 45:26
  That's awesome.
• 45:29
  So, it's going to be awesome.
• 45:33
  Now...
• 45:37
  It's time for me to talk
• 45:38
  about something I saw on
• 45:42
  Barbell Spin this week that
• 45:44
  I needed to address.
• 45:48
  So.
• 45:55
  A little roof alert.
• 45:57
  I like it.
• 46:02
  I respect John Young.
• 46:04
  I respect Brian Spin so much.
• 46:07
  I watch their show every week.
• 46:10
  I'm going to preface this with that.
• 46:12
  I watch their show every stinking week.
• 46:16
  They put out a reel talking
• 46:19
  about Hattie Cano.
• 46:22
  I almost mispronounced her name.
• 46:23
  Hattie Cano.
• 46:25
  And it was cut.
• 46:26
  So I'm going to show you that first.
• 46:29
  And then we're going to look
• 46:30
  at the uncut version.
• 46:33
  So first,
• 46:34
  here is what they put out on Instagram.
• 46:38
  Hey, Jack Rosema, I think,
• 46:39
  because I think he had the best showing.
• 46:42
  Him and Hattie Cano.
• 46:43
  But I think Hattie Cano is a
• 46:44
  bit of a one-hit wonder.
• 46:45
  I don't think we're going to
• 46:46
  see her name again.
• 46:47
  No offense, Hattie.
• 46:49
  How dare you?
• 46:50
  She's coming on sevens.
• 46:52
  I know.
• 46:53
  And she's awesome.
• 46:53
  And I called her to make it.
• 46:55
  Nobody else called her to make it.
• 46:57
  Clydesdale did.
• 46:57
  Clydesdale did.
• 46:59
  Austin Hatfield's my best newcomer.
• 47:00
  And I say best newcomer.
• 47:03
  So that was the cut version.
• 47:08
  So looking at that,
• 47:09
  I should be thankful that
• 47:11
  they mentioned me,
• 47:11
  that I was someone who
• 47:13
  talked about Hattie Cano.
• 47:14
  But let's look at the uncut
• 47:16
  version real quick.
• 47:19
  Him and Hattie Cano.
• 47:21
  But I think Hattie Cano is a
• 47:22
  bit of a one-hit wonder.
• 47:23
  I don't think we're going to
• 47:23
  see her name again.
• 47:24
  No offense, Hattie.
• 47:26
  How dare you?
• 47:27
  She's coming on seven.
• 47:29
  I know.
• 47:30
  And she's awesome.
• 47:31
  And I called her to make it.
• 47:32
  Nobody else called her to make it.
• 47:34
  Patrick Clark.
• 47:36
  Not Patrick Clark.
• 47:37
  Clydesdale did.
• 47:38
  Clydesdale did.
• 47:39
  But he says everybody.
• 47:40
  That's because she was on his show.
• 47:42
  He says Saxon is going to win the game.
• 47:43
  So it's hard to take that seriously.
• 47:45
  But.
• 47:49
  I say that everybody's going
• 47:50
  to make the CrossFit Games.
• 47:52
  Back when we first had this discussion,
• 47:54
  Mr. Young.
• 47:56
  I sent you a clip showing
• 47:58
  you a screenshot of my Heat
• 47:59
  One app where I was only
• 48:01
  allowed to pick eight
• 48:03
  people to make the CrossFit Games.
• 48:06
  In that list of eight people
• 48:08
  was Hattie Canio.
• 48:11
  Mr. Spin, yes,
• 48:13
  she was on my show 15 times.
• 48:16
  But why was she on my show 15 times?
• 48:18
  Because we freaking care
• 48:20
  about the semifinal athletes,
• 48:22
  unlike a lot of other people.
• 48:26
  We interview all these people.
• 48:28
  We get to know them.
• 48:29
  We watch them at semifinals.
• 48:31
  We see who is on the up and
• 48:33
  coming and who is going to
• 48:35
  do well moving in season after season.
• 48:39
  In fact,
• 48:40
  my co-host sitting down there at
• 48:41
  the far right said Austin
• 48:43
  Hatfield was going to make
• 48:44
  the CrossFit Games two
• 48:46
  years ago at the Orlando semifinals.
• 48:50
  She has been saying that
• 48:51
  much longer than John Young.
• 48:54
  Because we see these people,
• 48:56
  and we're out there for every heat,
• 48:58
  and we watch all the semifinalists,
• 49:00
  and we know what's going on.
• 49:03
  The other thing is,
• 49:05
  I get sick and tired of
• 49:07
  this group of people who
• 49:09
  are in a texturing together,
• 49:10
  and I respect them all.
• 49:12
  And they can have that, that's fine.
• 49:14
  But you're not the only
• 49:15
  analyst in the space.
• 49:17
  And other analysts in the
• 49:18
  space can be right.
• 49:21
  We can watch this sport and
• 49:24
  make educated decisions on
• 49:26
  what's going on.
• 49:27
  And we can be right, too.
• 49:31
  Finally, I never,
• 49:33
  ever said that Saxon
• 49:34
  Pancheck was going to win
• 49:36
  the CrossFit Games.
• 49:39
  For the last two years,
• 49:40
  I've had nobody on top of
• 49:42
  the list to win the male
• 49:43
  CrossFit Games other than Jeff Adler.
• 49:46
  And I have been preaching
• 49:48
  that from the mountaintop.
• 49:51
  What I said was Saxon
• 49:54
  Pinchuk has been forgotten about.
• 49:56
  Everybody forgot because of
• 49:57
  his injury last year that
• 49:59
  he was a top five CrossFit
• 50:02
  Games athlete in his career.
• 50:05
  And if he had a good
• 50:09
  programming and a good season,
• 50:11
  he could surprise people at
• 50:13
  the semifinals,
• 50:14
  which at the beginning of
• 50:15
  this year's semifinals, I think he did.
• 50:19
  He showed up in a way that
• 50:20
  people were shocked because
• 50:23
  I watched the sport and I
• 50:25
  can make an educated
• 50:27
  decision on what's going on.
• 50:33
  That's my riff.
• 50:36
  Clip it.
• 50:41
  Man,
• 50:43
  I was watching that going to bed last
• 50:45
  Wednesday night and I sat up in my bed
• 50:50
  what the hell did he just
• 50:51
  say I think what what's
• 50:54
  hard is you interview all
• 50:56
  these people right so
• 50:57
  you're invested in their
• 50:59
  semi-final performance so
• 51:00
  it's hard like you want
• 51:02
  them all to do well right
• 51:03
  so I don't know if it's
• 51:04
  lost in that part is that
• 51:06
  you're cheering for all of
• 51:07
  them because you get to
• 51:08
  know them on a different
• 51:09
  level than maybe other
• 51:10
  analysts so I don't know if
• 51:11
  he's more going that route um
• 51:14
  But it's one thing to root for them.
• 51:16
  It's another thing to pick them.
• 51:19
  I picked eight people to
• 51:21
  qualify from the West.
• 51:23
  One of those eight people was Hattie Cano.
• 51:27
  I didn't pick everybody.
• 51:30
  I didn't pick Amy Hosking.
• 51:31
  Love Amy Hosking.
• 51:32
  One of my favorite people to interview.
• 51:34
  But I didn't pick her to go
• 51:35
  to the CrossFit Games.
• 51:37
  Gabby Spence has been on my show a ton.
• 51:39
  Love her to death.
• 51:40
  Didn't pick her to go to the
• 51:41
  CrossFit Games.
• 51:44
  There's a difference.
• 51:46
  I think it just comes down
• 51:47
  to the fact that it's their
• 51:50
  in-club and if you aren't in it,
• 51:52
  you don't get recognition
• 51:54
  and they aren't going to recognize us.
• 51:59
  They don't care.
• 52:00
  It takes them a second to
• 52:03
  even remember your name to
• 52:04
  say that you picked her.
• 52:06
  He did recognize me and that was fine.
• 52:08
  But then the backhanded
• 52:09
  thing afterwards to say, well,
• 52:12
  he picks everybody to go.
• 52:13
  No,
• 52:14
  I do the heat one app just like you do.
• 52:16
  I make my eight picks, my 10 picks,
• 52:18
  my 11 picks.
• 52:20
  And Lex always beats you.
• 52:21
  True.
• 52:24
  But when I make good picks,
• 52:27
  I deserve a little credit.
• 52:28
  For sure.
• 52:31
  And we,
• 52:31
  we even talked about some of the
• 52:33
  athletes in the East, right?
• 52:34
  Like,
• 52:35
  that we're going to be doing well.
• 52:38
  Like we,
• 52:38
  like we talked like you and I
• 52:40
  probably about Chloe and I was like, no,
• 52:41
  these are great workouts for her.
• 52:43
  And, um, you know,
• 52:46
  we know the athletes very well.
• 52:48
  You told me a week before these semis,
• 52:51
  Chloe has a really good
• 52:52
  chance at making it to the games.
• 52:53
  100%.
• 52:54
  When the workouts came out, I was like,
• 52:56
  yeah,
• 52:56
  she's – And I trusted – and after I
• 52:58
  interviewed her and I did
• 52:59
  the research on her, I was like, dang,
• 53:01
  she does not have any holes.
• 53:02
  And I said that to you a
• 53:04
  week before semis.
• 53:06
  Yeah, we had this talk.
• 53:08
  And who made the games?
• 53:09
  Chloe.
• 53:10
  Chloe.
• 53:13
  And I've talked about Fola
• 53:15
  since last year.
• 53:16
  I've seen her kind of come up, you know,
• 53:18
  she had a bad last event,
• 53:19
  but I think just the
• 53:20
  pressure came to her.
• 53:21
  But I think her time will come as well.
• 53:23
  She's a young athlete.
• 53:25
  You know, if that's what she wants, right,
• 53:27
  we know what's going on
• 53:28
  right now with a lot of the
• 53:29
  younger athletes and the
• 53:30
  pressure and stuff.
• 53:30
  But if that's the route that
• 53:32
  she decides to take,
• 53:33
  I think her future is very,
• 53:35
  very bright too.
• 53:36
  She's a very talented athlete for sure.
• 53:38
  And that seems like a very
• 53:41
  small hole to fill.
• 53:44
  heavy lunges you can work on
• 53:46
  that right and it she could
• 53:49
  have been fine it's just
• 53:50
  you know she just pushed a
• 53:51
  little bit under race day
• 53:53
  like it doesn't even mean
• 53:54
  it's a whole once you're at
• 53:55
  that failure you're at that
• 53:57
  failure like you that can
• 53:59
  happen on a chest to bar
• 54:00
  workout on a ring muscle-up
• 54:01
  workout doesn't mean you're
• 54:02
  bad at ring muscle-up it
• 54:02
  just means you just overdid
• 54:04
  it for that workout yep so
• 54:09
  um michael park they're not
• 54:13
  getting me down
• 54:14
  not getting me down but I'm
• 54:16
  not going to just stand
• 54:17
  here and be silent about it
• 54:18
  either not getting me down
• 54:23
  um so we may be uh this may
• 54:28
  be part two so one last
• 54:33
  time masters fitness
• 54:40
  collective my favorite
• 54:41
  competition in all the land
• 54:44
  And if you've been following this show,
• 54:46
  you know that me and the
• 54:48
  MFC are like that.
• 54:54
  Like that.
• 54:58
  This is what sucks about this.
• 55:00
  I love their venue.
• 55:02
  I love their competition.
• 55:04
  I love where it is.
• 55:05
  It is a great place if you
• 55:07
  love Masters athletes to go
• 55:09
  hang out with them and
• 55:11
  watch them compete at the highest level.
• 55:14
  but they cannot get out of
• 55:16
  their own freaking way.
• 55:20
  So I'm going to share my screen.
• 55:26
  Thank you to Holly Dugan for
• 55:28
  doing this out onto our
• 55:30
  story while I was in Indianapolis.
• 55:33
  That is not what I wanted.
• 55:37
  Uh-oh, nope.
• 55:39
  Got to use a different screen share.
• 55:41
  Hold on.
• 55:46
  There we go.
• 55:48
  Okay,
• 55:50
  so this year at Masters Fitness
• 55:54
  Collective,
• 55:55
  it was required for you to use
• 55:57
  the WeTime app to film your
• 56:00
  workout and submit them to the MFC.
• 56:05
  They promoted it as you
• 56:07
  could sign up for the free
• 56:08
  trial if you did not wanna
• 56:09
  pay for it and then submit your workouts.
• 56:13
  What athletes did after the
• 56:15
  free trial is they,
• 56:17
  after they submitted their workouts,
• 56:18
  was canceled so they would
• 56:20
  not be charged for the
• 56:22
  WeTime app afterwards.
• 56:25
  What was not foreseen is
• 56:27
  that canceling that
• 56:28
  subscription meant your links became,
• 56:31
  your videos became
• 56:33
  unwatchable by anybody.
• 56:38
  So,
• 56:39
  As you can see here,
• 56:41
  your links have expired and
• 56:42
  cannot be viewed.
• 56:44
  So the solution is
• 56:46
  resubscribe to the WeTime
• 56:48
  app and then your links
• 56:50
  become valid again.
• 56:53
  If you happen to save the
• 56:54
  video to another location,
• 56:57
  you can then upload it to
• 56:59
  another platform and send
• 57:01
  that link to them.
• 57:04
  Or if you don't do either of these things,
• 57:06
  you get an automatic zero
• 57:07
  for the workout.
• 57:11
  And here's what I have a problem with.
• 57:14
  They come up with these
• 57:15
  great ideas at Masters Fitness Collective,
• 57:18
  and then when it doesn't go seamlessly,
• 57:20
  they put the burden back on the athlete.
• 57:26
  Like these athletes don't
• 57:27
  have enough to worry about,
• 57:29
  especially the Masters
• 57:30
  athletes working full-time jobs, kids,
• 57:33
  families, the whole bit.
• 57:34
  They don't have enough to worry about.
• 57:36
  Now they've got to
• 57:36
  resubscribe to something or
• 57:39
  hope they've freaking saved
• 57:40
  it and can put it up to
• 57:41
  another platform or all the
• 57:44
  work they did is for naught.
• 57:46
  Because the Masters athletes
• 57:47
  are the best with technology as well.
• 57:49
  Exactly.
• 57:49
  Exactly.
• 57:51
  We know those 55 to
• 57:53
  59-year-olds are great with all the apps.
• 58:02
  Every year,
• 58:03
  there's something that MFC does
• 58:05
  that makes it impossible
• 58:08
  for people to submit their stuff.
• 58:14
  And Jamie can tell you,
• 58:15
  you go to Fort Wayne,
• 58:17
  it is an awesome venue.
• 58:18
  It is an awesome place.
• 58:20
  They have great ideas,
• 58:22
  but the details get lost so
• 58:24
  quickly with them.
• 58:27
  I love the venue.
• 58:30
  I think the programming is,
• 58:32
  I think it's one of the
• 58:33
  best camps there is.
• 58:35
  They do need to fix some things,
• 58:37
  mainly prizes.
• 58:39
  Oh, yeah.
• 58:40
  That piece, I didn't even say.
• 58:42
  Yeah, I have so many thoughts about this.
• 58:48
  I get where they were coming
• 58:49
  from with this,
• 58:51
  and they probably went
• 58:51
  around it all wrong saying, hey,
• 58:53
  get this and do the link system.
• 58:58
  I personally have WeTime.
• 59:00
  I've had it for,
• 59:01
  I think this is my third
• 59:04
  year of having WeTime.
• 59:05
  They used WeTime last year.
• 59:07
  I have paid for WeTime.
• 59:09
  I have the yearly subscription.
• 59:10
  I've had it for two years.
• 59:12
  Like,
• 59:12
  I get they advertised as you can get
• 59:17
  this free trial.
• 59:18
  But, like,
• 59:19
  I think if you are at all trying
• 59:23
  to do this in any fashion
• 59:25
  where you're trying to be
• 59:26
  serious and you're trying
• 59:27
  to make these comps, I'm –
• 59:31
  going to go back to,
• 59:32
  I say it every time about
• 59:33
  every single comp, I'm angry that this,
• 59:36
  I didn't do MFC,
• 59:36
  so I didn't know any of
• 59:37
  this because I have a
• 59:39
  wedding that weekend, so I'm not,
• 59:40
  I couldn't go anywhere.
• 59:42
  But these,
• 59:45
  all these leaderboards need to be
• 59:47
  YouTube channel, public leaderboards,
• 59:50
  period.
• 59:51
  All these people that you're
• 59:52
  saying might not have their video,
• 59:53
  that is ridiculous if they
• 59:55
  don't have their video.
• 59:56
  You should have saved your
• 59:57
  video and you should be watching it.
• 59:59
  You should not just have it
• 1:00:00
  in the wee time with the
• 1:00:01
  link that you create.
• 1:00:02
  And that's all you did with it.
• 1:00:04
  You definitely should have
• 1:00:05
  saved it and you definitely
• 1:00:06
  should have uploaded it to YouTube.
• 1:00:08
  And the fact that MFC didn't
• 1:00:10
  make this a public
• 1:00:12
  leaderboard is ridiculous
• 1:00:14
  because we need to get back
• 1:00:15
  to pushing that on people.
• 1:00:16
  So it's a natural thing.
• 1:00:17
  So people are able to review
• 1:00:19
  other people's workouts,
• 1:00:20
  especially masters athletes,
• 1:00:22
  especially the 60 plus
• 1:00:24
  category where we don't get
• 1:00:26
  to often see how these people are moving.
• 1:00:29
  These need to be public.
• 1:00:31
  I don't like that they tried to say,
• 1:00:33
  get the free and we'll deal.
• 1:00:36
  Yeah, they're scrambling now,
• 1:00:38
  but be a serious athlete
• 1:00:40
  and save your freaking video.
• 1:00:45
  I should have hit this before Jamie went.
• 1:00:49
  I was just about to say, I was like, yeah,
• 1:00:51
  that's a, that's a good point.
• 1:00:52
  Like you should be saving it,
• 1:00:54
  watching on your phone, slow mo,
• 1:00:55
  like slow motion.
• 1:00:56
  If you don't feel like you're,
• 1:00:57
  you have a certain rep that
• 1:00:58
  looks good and literally
• 1:01:00
  watching your video over
• 1:01:01
  and over before you submit it.
• 1:01:03
  So I do,
• 1:01:04
  I do agree with what you're saying there,
• 1:01:06
  Jamie.
• 1:01:08
  I heard you can set a world
• 1:01:09
  record for an open workout
• 1:01:10
  without submitting a video though.
• 1:01:13
  Yeah, I mean,
• 1:01:14
  this all could be fixed if
• 1:01:16
  the standard was get your
• 1:01:20
  video on YouTube and make it public.
• 1:01:22
  Like, if that just became the norm,
• 1:01:24
  this shit would go away.
• 1:01:25
  Yeah,
• 1:01:29
  and if people don't want comments on
• 1:01:30
  their videos,
• 1:01:31
  then they just can block the
• 1:01:33
  comments that you have on the video,
• 1:01:34
  but it's still public.
• 1:01:38
  You know what way to stop
• 1:01:39
  the comments on the video?
• 1:01:41
  Move better.
• 1:01:42
  Yeah.
• 1:01:45
  It stops everything.
• 1:01:50
  Judy Reed says they need
• 1:01:51
  better food options and let
• 1:01:53
  spectators come and go once they've paid.
• 1:01:55
  That was annoying.
• 1:01:58
  Can you believe that?
• 1:01:59
  They have this beautiful venue.
• 1:02:00
  You're trying to get spectators in there,
• 1:02:03
  and the spectators couldn't
• 1:02:04
  leave and come back.
• 1:02:05
  You could.
• 1:02:07
  You just needed to buy...
• 1:02:09
  Once again, details,
• 1:02:10
  and they didn't do a good job of it,
• 1:02:11
  and I hope they send out an email.
• 1:02:13
  You had to buy a parking
• 1:02:14
  pass ahead of time.
• 1:02:15
  Yes,
• 1:02:15
  you needed to buy a parking pass ahead
• 1:02:16
  of time, and you could go in and out.
• 1:02:19
  But a spectator isn't going
• 1:02:20
  to see that on an athlete page.
• 1:02:27
  I mean, I don't know.
• 1:02:31
  Yeah, I guess.
• 1:02:32
  I don't know.
• 1:02:32
  I feel like I would tell anyone going.
• 1:02:35
  I bought two of them.
• 1:02:38
  to make sure that they were
• 1:02:38
  bought for a group.
• 1:02:41
  And I would think, like,
• 1:02:42
  if you knew you had people
• 1:02:43
  coming to watch you, you would tell them.
• 1:02:48
  But they do need better food options.
• 1:02:49
  Well, there's people that,
• 1:02:50
  what if you're just a fan
• 1:02:51
  of the sport and you want to come?
• 1:02:52
  Yeah, you wouldn't know.
• 1:02:55
  Yeah, you wouldn't know.
• 1:02:59
  The other thing they need to
• 1:03:00
  do is announce whether
• 1:03:01
  they're going to have prize
• 1:03:02
  money or not. 100%.
• 1:03:05
  Don't just stop giving out
• 1:03:07
  prize money and not say a
• 1:03:09
  word about it and hope
• 1:03:11
  nobody will notice.
• 1:03:14
  I did notice there is a
• 1:03:16
  whole lot less big names.
• 1:03:19
  Did you,
• 1:03:19
  have you looked at the meat leaderboard?
• 1:03:21
  No, cause I don't,
• 1:03:22
  I don't think I'm going to go this year.
• 1:03:23
  I'm going to hit some of the
• 1:03:24
  mid major competitions instead.
• 1:03:28
  Oh my God.
• 1:03:29
  I'm drawing a blank.
• 1:03:30
  Who's the 40 year old who always does it?
• 1:03:33
  Grub.
• 1:03:34
  No woman.
• 1:03:37
  uh anna tobias yes she
• 1:03:40
  didn't even she didn't even
• 1:03:41
  do it um and that's like
• 1:03:45
  the one comp she did every
• 1:03:46
  year I know like that's sad
• 1:03:49
  if you're losing names like
• 1:03:50
  that and she won it every
• 1:03:54
  year but she didn't win
• 1:03:55
  anything last year right
• 1:03:56
  when is it this year does
• 1:03:57
  she have the olympics it
• 1:04:00
  would be after the olympics yeah
• 1:04:04
  Cause she does, uh, sailing.
• 1:04:07
  Yeah.
• 1:04:08
  She's a multiple time Olympian, right?
• 1:04:11
  Yeah.
• 1:04:12
  We talked to her every year.
• 1:04:13
  She's awesome to hang out with.
• 1:04:16
  Um, so much fun, but yeah, it would,
• 1:04:20
  she does CrossFit to stay
• 1:04:21
  in shape for her sailing
• 1:04:23
  for the Olympics.
• 1:04:24
  And then she does this one
• 1:04:25
  comp every year and then you lose her.
• 1:04:28
  Yeah.
• 1:04:29
  That's, that's a big name.
• 1:04:33
  so um so yeah so I think
• 1:04:37
  that's it for for those
• 1:04:38
  riffs I got my blood
• 1:04:41
  pressure back down same the
• 1:04:44
  john young really got me
• 1:04:45
  really got me this week and
• 1:04:49
  I will say this too I sent
• 1:04:51
  him a direct message on
• 1:04:52
  instagram about this and he
• 1:04:54
  did not respond so that's
• 1:04:56
  why he's getting blasted
• 1:04:57
  tonight he poked the bear
• 1:05:03
  And he is sure to jump in
• 1:05:04
  our comments when we say
• 1:05:06
  something about him.
• 1:05:08
  So let's see.
• 1:05:12
  All right.
• 1:05:13
  So the other thing last week
• 1:05:14
  that I came across
• 1:05:16
  accidentally was I was
• 1:05:17
  watching the spin last Wednesday.
• 1:05:19
  They had Jason Operon.
• 1:05:21
  Then I had James Preg on the next day.
• 1:05:23
  And they said something
• 1:05:24
  eerily familiar to each other.
• 1:05:27
  And that was that they both
• 1:05:30
  were to camp last year.
• 1:05:33
  James in Naples, Jason at HWPO.
• 1:05:37
  It wasn't right for either of them.
• 1:05:38
  They both moved back home to
• 1:05:40
  get better balance.
• 1:05:44
  Are we getting to a point
• 1:05:46
  where training camps are fading away?
• 1:05:49
  Now, they both are still with their camp,
• 1:05:53
  but they're doing it from home.
• 1:05:57
  And they both said they got to see it.
• 1:06:00
  Now they could replicate it at home.
• 1:06:04
  Yeah.
• 1:06:05
  So your thoughts.
• 1:06:07
  I think you hear it a lot.
• 1:06:08
  I think women say it a lot.
• 1:06:11
  It's it can just become like
• 1:06:13
  a straight up competition
• 1:06:14
  every single day and you're
• 1:06:15
  wearing yourself down.
• 1:06:17
  And I think that's can be good and bad.
• 1:06:20
  Like too much of that is
• 1:06:21
  just going to wear you down.
• 1:06:23
  But it also probably drives
• 1:06:25
  like the like intensity does drive.
• 1:06:28
  your, your progression.
• 1:06:29
  So like,
• 1:06:30
  I think you get a lot of bang for
• 1:06:32
  your buck out of that,
• 1:06:34
  but I don't know how
• 1:06:35
  long-term sustainable it is.
• 1:06:38
  They're still training with
• 1:06:40
  high level athletes though.
• 1:06:42
  So they still can compare.
• 1:06:43
  They're just closer to home
• 1:06:45
  and they probably like, it's almost like,
• 1:06:47
  like, like James said,
• 1:06:49
  um, in his interview with you, like he,
• 1:06:51
  he has a better support
• 1:06:52
  system being at home, um,
• 1:06:55
  with his family there and
• 1:06:56
  stuff like that.
• 1:06:57
  So I think everyone's different.
• 1:07:00
  Um, you know,
• 1:07:02
  do you need to go into
• 1:07:03
  training camp like for multiple years?
• 1:07:05
  Probably not.
• 1:07:06
  Like,
• 1:07:06
  I think it's good to experience it maybe.
• 1:07:08
  And then, you know,
• 1:07:10
  have some learn from people,
• 1:07:12
  but learn from,
• 1:07:13
  different style of athletes
• 1:07:15
  have different type of
• 1:07:16
  people that can chase you
• 1:07:17
  or that you can get,
• 1:07:19
  or that you can chase in workouts.
• 1:07:21
  But I think ultimately you
• 1:07:22
  still have to be able to
• 1:07:23
  train well on your own to do, I think,
• 1:07:25
  well in this sport.
• 1:07:27
  Um,
• 1:07:29
  but I understand them going back home.
• 1:07:31
  Like it can be mentally draining, uh,
• 1:07:34
  being in an environment
• 1:07:35
  like that every day.
• 1:07:36
  I think as long as they're
• 1:07:37
  surrounded by good people, that's the,
• 1:07:39
  that's the fun part about
• 1:07:40
  training is who you're, who you're with.
• 1:07:42
  And if you're having fun training, um,
• 1:07:46
  that's, that's, what's important.
• 1:07:48
  Yeah.
• 1:07:49
  Yeah.
• 1:07:49
  James pointed out that he
• 1:07:50
  needs to be around people.
• 1:07:52
  Like he's not,
• 1:07:55
  it's really hard for him to be by himself,
• 1:07:57
  uh,
• 1:07:57
  in a garage doing what he needs to do.
• 1:07:59
  It doesn't mean he won't do it,
• 1:08:02
  but he needs to have those
• 1:08:03
  times where he goes to a
• 1:08:04
  gym and he's around other people.
• 1:08:07
  And just to clear this up,
• 1:08:09
  Craig says James trains with Cole.
• 1:08:12
  He said on our podcast, maybe once a week,
• 1:08:16
  because Cole really likes to train alone.
• 1:08:19
  James likes to train with people.
• 1:08:21
  And so like once a week,
• 1:08:22
  they kind of get together
• 1:08:24
  and Cole helps James out.
• 1:08:26
  I thought he said once a
• 1:08:27
  week they do the workouts together,
• 1:08:29
  like a similar workout.
• 1:08:31
  I think they work out more
• 1:08:32
  than once a week.
• 1:08:32
  He said he was there almost every day,
• 1:08:35
  but they join their workouts once a week.
• 1:08:38
  That's what I understood
• 1:08:39
  from the interview.
• 1:08:42
  Okay.
• 1:08:43
  I didn't fully get that, but okay.
• 1:08:47
  That's what I thought.
• 1:08:49
  Because Cole was in the
• 1:08:50
  hospital for three months
• 1:08:53
  and only home to train an hour a day.
• 1:08:57
  for a lot of that but um
• 1:09:05
  okay um jonathan ortega
• 1:09:12
  says moving to a city
• 1:09:13
  without your support system
• 1:09:15
  takes a lot and a lot of
• 1:09:16
  mental agility and strength
• 1:09:18
  yeah yeah I mean I think if
• 1:09:23
  you don't want to see the
• 1:09:23
  burnout that we're seeing
• 1:09:24
  in some of these
• 1:09:26
  teens and girls, like the camp,
• 1:09:30
  the camps could be
• 1:09:30
  contributing to that a little bit.
• 1:09:35
  Yeah.
• 1:09:35
  Hattie said that when she
• 1:09:36
  trained with Kelly Baker,
• 1:09:37
  they couldn't turn it off.
• 1:09:39
  Right.
• 1:09:40
  And that wasn't healthy either.
• 1:09:41
  Right.
• 1:09:42
  Even though it'd be like, Hey,
• 1:09:43
  we're both hurting today.
• 1:09:45
  Let's take it easy.
• 1:09:46
  Three, two, one go happens and bam,
• 1:09:48
  they're competing again.
• 1:09:50
  Yep.
• 1:09:51
  Which is why I think, you know,
• 1:09:53
  being in an affiliate program,
• 1:09:55
  taking a class wad here and there,
• 1:09:57
  stepping away from your program,
• 1:10:00
  I think goes a long way.
• 1:10:03
  Mentally, just physically, you know,
• 1:10:05
  you don't have to even go, you know,
• 1:10:06
  you're not going against people that are,
• 1:10:08
  you know,
• 1:10:08
  your games athlete or your competitors,
• 1:10:10
  but you're just having fun
• 1:10:11
  with the community.
• 1:10:12
  Like,
• 1:10:12
  I think it's just an important part
• 1:10:16
  of staying more mentally in the game,
• 1:10:21
  I guess.
• 1:10:22
  Yeah.
• 1:10:24
  I think, who was it?
• 1:10:26
  Someone did a post about it the other day.
• 1:10:29
  When I'm in California,
• 1:10:30
  I do a class WOD almost all the time,
• 1:10:32
  and it's fun.
• 1:10:33
  It's great.
• 1:10:34
  When I'm at my affiliate,
• 1:10:36
  I'll WOD with different
• 1:10:38
  people a lot of days versus
• 1:10:41
  just always by myself.
• 1:10:45
  Jonathan clears it up.
• 1:10:47
  Jonathan, if you don't know,
• 1:10:48
  did James' vlog from West
• 1:10:52
  Coast Classic...
• 1:10:54
  So he was with James that whole weekend.
• 1:10:56
  They train in the same space,
• 1:10:58
  I think not like same programming.
• 1:11:01
  Yeah,
• 1:11:01
  I think he was explaining to me that
• 1:11:02
  once a week,
• 1:11:04
  they try to merge their
• 1:11:05
  programming together for
• 1:11:07
  one day to train together
• 1:11:09
  on that one day.
• 1:11:15
  I can't imagine training by myself.
• 1:11:17
  I just, I can't.
• 1:11:21
  When I'm in the garage,
• 1:11:22
  there's no intensity.
• 1:11:24
  Have you been going to the affiliate?
• 1:11:27
  I don't have a car.
• 1:11:29
  So I'm really stuck.
• 1:11:31
  I shouldn't say no intensity,
• 1:11:33
  but it's definitely not the
• 1:11:34
  same intensity.
• 1:11:36
  Right.
• 1:11:37
  But that's where I say like,
• 1:11:38
  you have to learn to be
• 1:11:39
  good training on your own.
• 1:11:41
  Like as you,
• 1:11:42
  you have to be able to train with people,
• 1:11:44
  but also like to train on
• 1:11:47
  your own and push yourself
• 1:11:48
  and not be solely dependent
• 1:11:50
  on other people goes a long way.
• 1:11:55
  Like sometimes some of the
• 1:11:56
  best mental workouts that I
• 1:11:58
  have are just like when I'm
• 1:11:59
  alone at the gym,
• 1:12:01
  And it's like you do the
• 1:12:02
  workout and you just feel
• 1:12:03
  so accomplished after.
• 1:12:05
  And when you are competing,
• 1:12:07
  you think back on those
• 1:12:08
  moments when you were alone
• 1:12:10
  and suffered literally by yourself.
• 1:12:13
  So you've got to get better, Scott.
• 1:12:16
  I think there's those days
• 1:12:18
  where that competitive
• 1:12:19
  voice in my head is really
• 1:12:22
  tough on myself to push.
• 1:12:25
  And those are good days
• 1:12:26
  where I finish and I'm like, man,
• 1:12:28
  I really conquered that that day.
• 1:12:30
  Yeah.
• 1:12:31
  But I was much better at
• 1:12:33
  that when I was younger than I am today.
• 1:12:37
  Just being flat out honest.
• 1:12:40
  I get that win once or twice a week,
• 1:12:43
  where when I was younger,
• 1:12:44
  I was five days a week, six days a week,
• 1:12:48
  pushing myself to the limit.
• 1:12:56
  All right.
• 1:12:58
  So the last question is,
• 1:13:01
  as it gets dark in Canada.
• 1:13:03
  Yes.
• 1:13:07
  You went from like this
• 1:13:08
  bright room to all of a sudden, whoosh.
• 1:13:11
  Yeah,
• 1:13:11
  I have my one window just a little
• 1:13:12
  bit open.
• 1:13:15
  I accidentally closed Instagram,
• 1:13:16
  so hold on one second.
• 1:13:18
  So the question that we,
• 1:13:20
  Lex is now putting in these
• 1:13:21
  questions of the week, which would be,
• 1:13:23
  what I want to do is have
• 1:13:25
  you guys in the comment
• 1:13:26
  section on YouTube,
• 1:13:28
  give us suggestions for a
• 1:13:29
  question of the week.
• 1:13:31
  And we'll come up with
• 1:13:33
  something and put it out
• 1:13:34
  there to everybody and come
• 1:13:35
  up with our answers.
• 1:13:38
  But what I'm going to do tonight,
• 1:13:39
  since Lex put this in the notes,
• 1:13:42
  is question of the week.
• 1:13:43
  And that is,
• 1:13:45
  what movement should be
• 1:13:48
  removed from all CrossFit competitions?
• 1:13:52
  And what prompted this is
• 1:13:53
  there was a competition in
• 1:13:56
  California where...
• 1:14:01
  this movement was programmed
• 1:14:08
  and called either,
• 1:14:09
  it was called duck walks or
• 1:14:12
  described as duck walks.
• 1:14:15
  I think it's more of like a waddle.
• 1:14:18
  Yeah.
• 1:14:19
  That is not what I was picturing.
• 1:14:21
  They had a freestanding
• 1:14:23
  handstand pushups too.
• 1:14:24
  It was like a nine, six or nine, seven,
• 1:14:26
  five ring muscle ups and
• 1:14:27
  then freestanding handstand pushups.
• 1:14:29
  And then in between each round was,
• 1:14:30
  30 feet or something of the
• 1:14:33
  duck walk the swaddle walk
• 1:14:34
  or something something like
• 1:14:35
  that like sent it to me
• 1:14:42
  yeah so I mean that one
• 1:14:44
  like look it looks somewhat
• 1:14:45
  functional it's just funny
• 1:14:48
  Like I had broad jumps for
• 1:14:51
  distance in a qualifier
• 1:14:52
  this year for NorCal Classic.
• 1:14:53
  Like I did all the qualifier
• 1:14:55
  workouts and then I had an invite.
• 1:14:57
  So I didn't end up having to
• 1:15:00
  submit it though.
• 1:15:01
  But it was just like, I felt so goofy.
• 1:15:04
  I was just,
• 1:15:05
  it was like 25 foot down and
• 1:15:06
  backs of just like broad jump.
• 1:15:11
  But you're not doing a full broad jump.
• 1:15:12
  You're just like bunny
• 1:15:13
  hopping and then coming back.
• 1:15:16
  And I was like, what am I doing?
• 1:15:21
  Yeah.
• 1:15:22
  What would you remove from
• 1:15:24
  competition that you've seen out there?
• 1:15:29
  Well,
• 1:15:30
  Lex and I were talking and we were
• 1:15:32
  saying something that's
• 1:15:33
  brand new that hasn't been
• 1:15:37
  really kind of tested somewhere.
• 1:15:39
  It's just hard to implement
• 1:15:41
  sometimes on the standards.
• 1:15:43
  And then some very,
• 1:15:44
  very high level skills that...
• 1:15:49
  when the field is just not there, like,
• 1:15:50
  do they need freestanding
• 1:15:51
  handstand pushups in a local ish comp?
• 1:15:57
  You know,
• 1:15:58
  you have them at the games one time,
• 1:16:00
  two times, right.
• 1:16:03
  And in 2021, and then this past year, like,
• 1:16:07
  I don't know that people
• 1:16:08
  are so proficient in that, you know,
• 1:16:10
  it can cause injuries for
• 1:16:11
  some to kind of come down on their neck.
• 1:16:13
  And if they're not really used to that,
• 1:16:16
  um,
• 1:16:17
  would say something like the
• 1:16:18
  ring handstand push-ups
• 1:16:20
  would be something exactly
• 1:16:21
  what I would say I would
• 1:16:22
  not like it's not
• 1:16:23
  functional it's stupid it's
• 1:16:26
  people are doing kind of
• 1:16:27
  like a bench press like
• 1:16:28
  it's hard to standardize um
• 1:16:32
  something like that I don't
• 1:16:34
  think should be programmed
• 1:16:38
  um what else my my opinion
• 1:16:42
  is dips should be off the table
• 1:16:46
  dips are a great strength accessory,
• 1:16:48
  but every time they're put
• 1:16:49
  in like a competition,
• 1:16:50
  the injury rate goes so
• 1:16:52
  high because they're not
• 1:16:53
  meant to be done at highway
• 1:16:55
  speed and they're impossible to judge.
• 1:16:58
  Yeah.
• 1:17:00
  Cause you get, you get the, the beat,
• 1:17:01
  the bobbing bird,
• 1:17:03
  you get all different forms
• 1:17:05
  and formations of it,
• 1:17:07
  whether it's on parallettes, matador ring,
• 1:17:11
  whatever it all,
• 1:17:13
  it all turns into a cluster.
• 1:17:17
  The strict ring muscle-up
• 1:17:18
  was hard to judge at the
• 1:17:23
  regionals in 2016, I think it was.
• 1:17:26
  2015, 2016, somewhere around there.
• 1:17:31
  You looked at Matt Fraser.
• 1:17:32
  He was kind of doing a
• 1:17:33
  little bit of his hip were kind of
• 1:17:36
  Helping out a little bit
• 1:17:37
  like a true strict
• 1:17:38
  calisthenic ring muscle up
• 1:17:40
  is I feel like not that
• 1:17:42
  many people in our sport
• 1:17:43
  really do it strict.
• 1:17:44
  Like they kind of come back,
• 1:17:45
  their feet come back and
• 1:17:46
  then they lean back.
• 1:17:48
  They're getting some
• 1:17:49
  momentum a little bit within the strict.
• 1:17:50
  So that's a tough one.
• 1:17:52
  I think that they've tried to implement.
• 1:17:55
  I thought the games did a
• 1:17:56
  good job last year in the team division,
• 1:17:59
  making it from a seated
• 1:18:00
  position where you then can
• 1:18:02
  lift your feet off the ground.
• 1:18:03
  And then it's strict ish from the floor.
• 1:18:07
  I think if you're going to
• 1:18:08
  do the strict ring muscles,
• 1:18:10
  you have to do it from like
• 1:18:11
  that seated position where
• 1:18:12
  your feet can't come behind you.
• 1:18:14
  And if there's a little bit of a,
• 1:18:16
  of a hip there, it is what it is.
• 1:18:18
  You're still going from a
• 1:18:19
  seated position to a supported position.
• 1:18:22
  I think that was, um,
• 1:18:25
  fun in that way but if
• 1:18:26
  you're from a dead hang
• 1:18:28
  position I think that's a
• 1:18:29
  tough one to do yeah if
• 1:18:33
  you're if you're an og
• 1:18:34
  crossfit fan like things
• 1:18:37
  were wild in like 12 and 13
• 1:18:40
  and 14 where people were
• 1:18:42
  getting maimed and hurt on
• 1:18:46
  high hurdles that didn't
• 1:18:47
  give on I mean the kevin
• 1:18:51
  ogar situation like it just
• 1:18:53
  wasn't safe back then
• 1:18:55
  And I think a lot of that
• 1:18:57
  has been removed from the
• 1:18:58
  competitions and they've
• 1:19:00
  done a good job of that.
• 1:19:01
  I hope I just don't want to
• 1:19:03
  go back to that direction
• 1:19:05
  where people are just doing
• 1:19:06
  wild shit at comps.
• 1:19:10
  Well,
• 1:19:10
  it just seems like a lot of times
• 1:19:11
  comps want to like be different and, uh,
• 1:19:16
  special and do unique things.
• 1:19:18
  And sometimes they overdo it.
• 1:19:21
  Um,
• 1:19:22
  I think a competition that
• 1:19:23
  does unique things,
• 1:19:25
  but does it in the right
• 1:19:26
  way is something like crash.
• 1:19:27
  Like, like Jr has implemented, you know,
• 1:19:30
  unique things,
• 1:19:31
  but it's well thought of
• 1:19:33
  people can still do the movements.
• 1:19:36
  Um, you know,
• 1:19:37
  it's a little twist on certain elements,
• 1:19:40
  like just having like the
• 1:19:40
  dumbbells with a little rope for handles,
• 1:19:43
  like just like small stuff like that.
• 1:19:45
  Um,
• 1:19:46
  but most of the competitions I feel
• 1:19:47
  like don't have the right, um,
• 1:19:53
  I don't know.
• 1:19:53
  It just doesn't really work.
• 1:19:55
  It doesn't have the right field, too.
• 1:19:58
  Because Crash has some good
• 1:20:01
  people to do these unique things.
• 1:20:04
  The Games is a place where
• 1:20:05
  you can do certain unique
• 1:20:06
  things because you have a lot of events,
• 1:20:08
  like 12 to 15 events.
• 1:20:10
  So you can have a very niche
• 1:20:12
  event that's very...
• 1:20:14
  different and odd,
• 1:20:17
  but these local comps that have, you know,
• 1:20:19
  four to five events most times,
• 1:20:21
  and you have these weird stuff,
• 1:20:23
  I would try to stay away
• 1:20:24
  from brand new things like
• 1:20:27
  that or accessory type movements.
• 1:20:32
  The last thing I'm going to
• 1:20:33
  say is about this is if
• 1:20:36
  you're doing it for a
• 1:20:38
  streamed competition, um,
• 1:20:40
  Something in your mind has
• 1:20:42
  to think about how this is
• 1:20:44
  going to look to the spectator.
• 1:20:47
  And the one thing I have to
• 1:20:48
  give Dave credit for is he
• 1:20:51
  seems to think about that more than most.
• 1:20:55
  Is he perfect?
• 1:20:56
  Nobody's perfect.
• 1:20:57
  But like before Dave came back and Boz,
• 1:21:02
  and I love Boz,
• 1:21:03
  but the seated legless into
• 1:21:05
  the handstand pushups into
• 1:21:07
  the seated legless was a bad look.
• 1:21:11
  sitting on the floor,
• 1:21:12
  crawling over to the wall
• 1:21:14
  to do your handstand pushup,
• 1:21:16
  crawling back to the rope
• 1:21:17
  and sitting there, and then doing it.
• 1:21:20
  It just had a bad look.
• 1:21:22
  The movements separated were fine,
• 1:21:25
  but that combination had a
• 1:21:26
  bad look with the transitions.
• 1:21:30
  And that's not what you want
• 1:21:32
  people to see on TV,
• 1:21:35
  to represent CrossFit.
• 1:21:37
  Yeah,
• 1:21:37
  I think Boz has had some really great
• 1:21:39
  ideas with some of the
• 1:21:40
  movements that he's added
• 1:21:41
  and has really made
• 1:21:44
  athletes go back to basics
• 1:21:46
  in terms of strict
• 1:21:47
  movements and stuff like that.
• 1:21:50
  I think that Dave's vision
• 1:21:51
  of like what a workout looks like,
• 1:21:53
  like on the layout,
• 1:21:54
  he changed the game in
• 1:21:56
  terms of programming and
• 1:21:57
  having different
• 1:21:58
  competitions really think
• 1:21:59
  about that in terms of how you're,
• 1:22:01
  how you're programming, how,
• 1:22:02
  how to make it look for, you know,
• 1:22:04
  for a regular fan.
• 1:22:05
  Can you see the race?
• 1:22:06
  Can you understand what's going on?
• 1:22:08
  So having both of them together, I think,
• 1:22:12
  you know, hopefully it comes with,
• 1:22:14
  great programming this year at the games,
• 1:22:16
  and I have no doubt that
• 1:22:17
  that will come because, you know,
• 1:22:19
  you have two good brains
• 1:22:20
  working together there.
• 1:22:21
  But, yeah.
• 1:22:23
  Yeah.
• 1:22:24
  And I think the more we get
• 1:22:25
  away from machines, the better.
• 1:22:28
  Like, we showed this year that at semis,
• 1:22:31
  you could run,
• 1:22:33
  you could find a way to get
• 1:22:35
  a run in in a lot of
• 1:22:37
  different situations
• 1:22:39
  without having to use the air runner.
• 1:22:41
  So...
• 1:22:43
  That's that.
• 1:22:45
  Before we spin out of here,
• 1:22:47
  they're talking a lot about
• 1:22:48
  this CrossFit documentary.
• 1:22:53
  It was announced last year
• 1:22:54
  that instead of their
• 1:22:56
  traditional CrossFit doc,
• 1:22:58
  they were bringing an
• 1:22:59
  outside media company to do
• 1:23:02
  a documentary of the CrossFit Games.
• 1:23:05
  They said they were doing
• 1:23:06
  that so that it would have
• 1:23:07
  a quicker release than in years past.
• 1:23:13
  It's still not out.
• 1:23:15
  Dave brought it up in his week in review,
• 1:23:18
  said that he had seen us, seen it,
• 1:23:21
  but they were still looking
• 1:23:22
  for distribution or were
• 1:23:25
  close to distribution or
• 1:23:28
  something to that effect.
• 1:23:30
  But it's still not at work.
• 1:23:32
  We're almost to the 2024
• 1:23:34
  games and the 2023 game doc
• 1:23:38
  is still not out.
• 1:23:40
  Apparently it's coming out
• 1:23:41
  after the games.
• 1:23:42
  That's what Hiller says.
• 1:23:44
  Let's make sure we give him
• 1:23:46
  credit for that.
• 1:23:48
  I don't care.
• 1:23:49
  I'm confused.
• 1:23:53
  This is CrossFit hired a
• 1:23:58
  media team to come film.
• 1:24:00
  I'm so confused.
• 1:24:03
  Why?
• 1:24:04
  Just like golf does full swing,
• 1:24:07
  Formula One does whatever
• 1:24:10
  that one is on Netflix.
• 1:24:12
  Was it ESPN that did this one?
• 1:24:14
  No, they just broadcast.
• 1:24:15
  I think it was an outside
• 1:24:18
  media company that didn't
• 1:24:20
  even know much about CrossFit.
• 1:24:22
  It was supposed to be a
• 1:24:23
  different perspective so
• 1:24:24
  that it could promote what
• 1:24:26
  this was outside of our normal space.
• 1:24:30
  I just feel like when you
• 1:24:31
  should release it is like
• 1:24:32
  in this dead space between
• 1:24:35
  let's say semifinals and the games.
• 1:24:37
  That's when, you know,
• 1:24:38
  you release it there,
• 1:24:39
  you get the hype build up
• 1:24:40
  for the CrossFit games, for the, you know,
• 1:24:43
  the master's division, the adaptive,
• 1:24:45
  all of these games,
• 1:24:46
  the teenagers coming up, you know,
• 1:24:49
  this window right now where
• 1:24:51
  it's just kind of that, because, you know,
• 1:24:53
  we picked up from March really until now,
• 1:24:56
  pretty much every week
• 1:24:57
  there's something going on now.
• 1:24:59
  this is when you release it.
• 1:25:01
  Get people excited, get more tickets sold.
• 1:25:04
  My question to you is,
• 1:25:05
  are you excited about it?
• 1:25:07
  We had the Butters behind the scenes.
• 1:25:09
  That wasn't there.
• 1:25:10
  We had Savan behind the scenes.
• 1:25:12
  We had Craig Ritchie behind the scenes.
• 1:25:15
  We had countless other media
• 1:25:17
  companies spitting out
• 1:25:18
  content from the games.
• 1:25:20
  At this point,
• 1:25:21
  if you're us that watch this
• 1:25:24
  stuff all the time,
• 1:25:25
  do you even care at this point?
• 1:25:27
  well is this why they aren't
• 1:25:29
  I mean I guess they did end
• 1:25:30
  up sharing savans behind
• 1:25:32
  the scenes but like I don't
• 1:25:33
  feel like they did right
• 1:25:34
  away is this partly why
• 1:25:36
  they aren't like sharing
• 1:25:38
  content because they paid
• 1:25:39
  for this outside content
• 1:25:40
  and they're trying to want
• 1:25:41
  to get that out and want
• 1:25:43
  the views there and I think
• 1:25:46
  that's stupid you have so
• 1:25:47
  many people willing to do
• 1:25:48
  it for free good content
• 1:25:50
  like just do that and share
• 1:25:51
  that don't pay an outside media company
• 1:25:54
  So I think what the concept was,
• 1:25:59
  was get these people who
• 1:26:00
  are not in our space to do
• 1:26:04
  something to attract people
• 1:26:06
  from outside the space in.
• 1:26:10
  I get what that is like on the surface.
• 1:26:13
  But at this point,
• 1:26:13
  you're a year after the fact.
• 1:26:18
  Like, I think we've lost all that.
• 1:26:19
  I agree.
• 1:26:22
  And if you're inside our space,
• 1:26:24
  we have so many alternatives to this.
• 1:26:27
  And we've probably all
• 1:26:28
  watched some versions of this.
• 1:26:30
  Hell Mayhem did a behind the scenes.
• 1:26:34
  Like there were so many behind the scenes,
• 1:26:36
  so many media companies
• 1:26:36
  spitting out stuff.
• 1:26:39
  If you wanted to know what went on,
• 1:26:41
  is there anything left to learn?
• 1:26:45
  I mean,
• 1:26:45
  if they go through the lesser known
• 1:26:48
  athletes, but that never is the case,
• 1:26:50
  it's going to be the same stories of,
• 1:26:52
  the top athletes.
• 1:26:54
  And then you start looking
• 1:26:55
  at the interviews.
• 1:26:56
  It's like, Oh,
• 1:26:56
  I heard this already on this part.
• 1:26:58
  So it's like, nothing's nothing's new.
• 1:27:01
  That's my point at the, you know,
• 1:27:03
  why get upset about it?
• 1:27:04
  Are we really missing anything?
• 1:27:09
  I don't giant waste of money to me.
• 1:27:12
  So unless they put on
• 1:27:14
  Netflix and then it starts, because then,
• 1:27:19
  yeah,
• 1:27:19
  if they were to put it like on
• 1:27:20
  Netflix or something like that, then,
• 1:27:22
  then it's, it's fine.
• 1:27:23
  It doesn't matter if it's later,
• 1:27:24
  it's going to get, you know,
• 1:27:26
  our current audience, you know,
• 1:27:27
  that are huge fans of the
• 1:27:28
  sports that are going to watch it anyways,
• 1:27:29
  because we watch everything.
• 1:27:31
  And then if it's on Netflix,
• 1:27:32
  it's going to get new
• 1:27:33
  people to watch it and then
• 1:27:35
  get more people into the
• 1:27:36
  affiliates ideally.
• 1:27:38
  Um, but.
• 1:27:40
  That's a big if, right?
• 1:27:41
  Like whether it's just on YouTube.
• 1:27:45
  So a lot of people have
• 1:27:46
  posted these pictures.
• 1:27:47
  I think Hiller, a big one.
• 1:27:49
  Someone else made a comment
• 1:27:50
  about it on Coffee Pods and
• 1:27:54
  Wads around the whiteboard.
• 1:28:00
  CrossFit had 50 media under
• 1:28:03
  their umbrella at the games.
• 1:28:06
  And they paid this outside
• 1:28:08
  media company to come in
• 1:28:10
  and produce a documentary.
• 1:28:13
  What did they put out?
• 1:28:18
  It was actually on Death By.
• 1:28:20
  It was Tommy Marquez.
• 1:28:23
  Tommy Marquez said they had
• 1:28:25
  50 contracted media plus
• 1:28:26
  this outside documentary company.
• 1:28:28
  Nothing came out because
• 1:28:30
  they're all worried about
• 1:28:31
  their own jobs and their own...
• 1:28:36
  thing that they're not
• 1:28:37
  working together and for
• 1:28:39
  tommy to rip on crossfit
• 1:28:41
  media that means
• 1:28:43
  something's really bad yeah
• 1:28:49
  I mean there's a lot of
• 1:28:54
  media that needs to be put
• 1:28:55
  out there by crossfit for
• 1:28:58
  the affiliates for the sport
• 1:29:01
  For health, like CrossFit Health,
• 1:29:04
  there's a lot of different
• 1:29:04
  directions that they could be going.
• 1:29:07
  And it just seems like not much.
• 1:29:09
  No direction, right?
• 1:29:17
  When you have that many
• 1:29:19
  people taking up spots and
• 1:29:22
  you're blocking other media
• 1:29:24
  companies from coming in
• 1:29:27
  and you're producing nothing.
• 1:29:29
  Yeah.
• 1:29:31
  That's a problem.
• 1:29:32
  Right.
• 1:29:33
  And you have these people
• 1:29:34
  that are doing it for free,
• 1:29:36
  knocking at the door,
• 1:29:37
  and you're not letting them in.
• 1:29:48
  It's... That is the most
• 1:29:51
  disheartening thing.
• 1:29:55
  I mean...
• 1:29:57
  Jamie,
• 1:29:57
  you've been with me for the last two
• 1:29:58
  years.
• 1:29:59
  We scratch, claw,
• 1:30:01
  fight for every little bit
• 1:30:03
  of access we can get.
• 1:30:05
  And I think we have a good
• 1:30:06
  relationship with the higher-ups.
• 1:30:08
  It just doesn't get down to anybody else.
• 1:30:10
  Yeah.
• 1:30:14
  Like that shit that went
• 1:30:15
  down at Syndicate Crown and
• 1:30:17
  nobody else had to deal
• 1:30:19
  with what we had to deal with,
• 1:30:21
  doing the same thing we were doing,
• 1:30:25
  If more people like and
• 1:30:26
  subscribe to the channel,
• 1:30:27
  we're going to get bigger,
• 1:30:29
  and then you don't have that problem.
• 1:30:30
  So like and subscribe.
• 1:30:33
  Yeah.
• 1:30:34
  I'm doing the work for you.
• 1:30:37
  Like, subscribe, and hit that notifier.
• 1:30:40
  It's a popularity thing, though.
• 1:30:42
  That's what it is.
• 1:30:42
  It is.
• 1:30:43
  It 100% is.
• 1:30:44
  It's just a popularity,
• 1:30:45
  whether you're in the group or not.
• 1:30:47
  Same stuff.
• 1:30:53
  I think Jamie is just over it all.
• 1:30:57
  I don't even know.
• 1:30:58
  Like Chris says, share.
• 1:31:03
  Share it with your friends.
• 1:31:04
  Let them know we're here.
• 1:31:06
  But I do have to thank you
• 1:31:06
  all that are doing this
• 1:31:07
  because we have hit a huge growth spurt.
• 1:31:11
  We added 78 subscribers in
• 1:31:13
  the last 28 days.
• 1:31:20
  and I couldn't thank you
• 1:31:22
  guys enough that share
• 1:31:25
  button is a big one yeah
• 1:31:31
  but yeah we don't want to
• 1:31:32
  fight and claw we're done
• 1:31:35
  with that but with that
• 1:31:40
  We have one last thing.
• 1:31:41
  What's that?
• 1:31:45
  She's clapping.
• 1:31:46
  I thought they were feet.
• 1:31:48
  I thought she was clapping.
• 1:31:50
  That's Judy's only fans page.
• 1:31:53
  Come check out her feet.
• 1:31:55
  It looked like feet to me.
• 1:31:56
  It didn't look like hands.
• 1:32:01
  Checkpoint Productions, I think,
• 1:32:03
  is the media company doing the doc.
• 1:32:04
  I haven't heard of them.
• 1:32:10
  um so spin polls came out
• 1:32:14
  this week jamie and I are
• 1:32:17
  voters on that apparently
• 1:32:19
  we're analysts in some
• 1:32:20
  people's minds but but
• 1:32:22
  we're picked as that by the
• 1:32:24
  same people who forget that
• 1:32:26
  we are yeah uh judy says
• 1:32:33
  they're little bound asian
• 1:32:34
  food oh my gosh
• 1:32:40
  So they came out this week.
• 1:32:41
  We had to make our picks.
• 1:32:44
  Spoiler alert.
• 1:32:46
  Saxon Pancheck did not get
• 1:32:48
  my number one vote.
• 1:32:50
  Jeez.
• 1:32:55
  But did Adler get your number one vote?
• 1:32:58
  Of course he did.
• 1:32:59
  Because that's where it has
• 1:33:01
  been for the last two freaking years.
• 1:33:07
  And Emma for your number one female
• 1:33:11
  I may have switched that up.
• 1:33:12
  I was just about to say, I was like,
• 1:33:14
  are you putting that?
• 1:33:16
  For who?
• 1:33:18
  Did Jamie convince you
• 1:33:19
  enough with her riff last week?
• 1:33:24
  She did not.
• 1:33:25
  Oh, you picked someone else.
• 1:33:27
  I picked Laura, number one.
• 1:33:29
  You're crazy.
• 1:33:32
  Laura, Tia, Emma.
• 1:33:35
  The Emma news scared me.
• 1:33:38
  I agree.
• 1:33:40
  I agree.
• 1:33:40
  I moved her down.
• 1:33:42
  I moved her down to six.
• 1:33:48
  So Kenneth, I did not drop Tia.
• 1:33:49
  Tia actually stayed the same.
• 1:33:51
  My poll before this month was Emma, Tia,
• 1:33:55
  Laura.
• 1:33:57
  I switched it to Laura, Tia, Emma.
• 1:34:02
  I flip flopped one in three.
• 1:34:06
  Yeah.
• 1:34:07
  I think that when you see
• 1:34:09
  what Tia did in the East,
• 1:34:11
  it's easy to forget what
• 1:34:12
  Laura did in Europe.
• 1:34:16
  And Laura would have won a
• 1:34:18
  couple of the events against Tia.
• 1:34:21
  Which ones were they?
• 1:34:24
  She would have won the snatch ladder.
• 1:34:25
  She would have won the row handstand.
• 1:34:29
  Yeah.
• 1:34:31
  Strength and power output.
• 1:34:32
  Right.
• 1:34:32
  I mean, you're not beating... Yeah,
• 1:34:34
  Laura's...
• 1:34:36
  I think it would have been
• 1:34:37
  close on the rope climb.
• 1:34:40
  It wasn't a rope climb workout.
• 1:34:41
  It was an echo bike workout.
• 1:34:42
  Like you had enough time.
• 1:34:45
  No one like Laura has one of
• 1:34:47
  the best legless rope climbs too,
• 1:34:48
  but that was more like the
• 1:34:50
  echo bike played a major factor.
• 1:34:52
  Even for the females,
• 1:34:53
  you have enough time to recover.
• 1:34:54
  If it was, if it was 10 echo bike,
• 1:34:58
  two legless rope climbs,
• 1:34:59
  10 box jump overs,
• 1:35:00
  it's a completely different
• 1:35:01
  workout for the females.
• 1:35:02
  Now it becomes a legless rope climb event.
• 1:35:06
  barely any females struggle
• 1:35:09
  to get the rope climbs.
• 1:35:12
  And normally they do, right?
• 1:35:14
  Like normally the bottom half of the field,
• 1:35:16
  like quite a bit are missing.
• 1:35:18
  So I'm not surprised that Laura's,
• 1:35:22
  you know, right there with T on that.
• 1:35:24
  So I think that Laura and T
• 1:35:25
  are going to go head to
• 1:35:26
  head on a lot of things very close.
• 1:35:29
  My hope and prayer is that
• 1:35:32
  there's no strict deficit
• 1:35:33
  handstand pushups.
• 1:35:35
  That's it.
• 1:35:38
  Why?
• 1:35:39
  Because Laura will get smoked.
• 1:35:46
  I do want to... Again,
• 1:35:49
  why did everyone... Why did
• 1:35:50
  Ariel... If you're Laura Horvath,
• 1:35:55
  you want that to show up.
• 1:35:57
  Because you want to beat Tia
• 1:35:59
  with that movement in the field.
• 1:36:00
  You don't want to beat Tia
• 1:36:02
  and people will be like, oh,
• 1:36:04
  there was no handstand pushups.
• 1:36:05
  If you're Laura Horvath,
• 1:36:07
  You want to be like, I won last year,
• 1:36:10
  and I'm going to win again this year.
• 1:36:11
  Bring on whatever event, and I will win.
• 1:36:14
  And I feel like that's Laura's mentality.
• 1:36:17
  I'm sure that's Laura's mentality.
• 1:36:18
  It's just not mine as an analyst.
• 1:36:20
  Yeah.
• 1:36:23
  I want her to have that
• 1:36:24
  mental thought process.
• 1:36:28
  As an analyst,
• 1:36:28
  I'm just hoping to make my pick right,
• 1:36:31
  it doesn't go that way.
• 1:36:36
  Do you feel like there's
• 1:36:37
  more females right now that
• 1:36:40
  can kind of get in between?
• 1:36:43
  Like,
• 1:36:44
  is the field not as deep this year
• 1:36:46
  without, let's say, like Emma Carey,
• 1:36:48
  Paige Powers?
• 1:36:51
  Who else is missing?
• 1:36:53
  Mal O'Brien.
• 1:36:54
  Or these newer, you know.
• 1:36:57
  athletes and the rise of
• 1:36:59
  like Alex goes in and Ariel and, you know,
• 1:37:02
  Abigail Domet that had a great show.
• 1:37:05
  Like,
• 1:37:05
  are those athletes going to start
• 1:37:07
  adding up to already those
• 1:37:09
  top tier and get some middling?
• 1:37:11
  Like, do you think,
• 1:37:13
  or do you think it's just
• 1:37:14
  the same four or five athletes?
• 1:37:17
  I think there is a tier of top tier.
• 1:37:21
  Yeah.
• 1:37:21
  I think Raptus McGowan, Lohan is an.
• 1:37:28
  Lawson, Tia, Haley.
• 1:37:31
  Don't count out Haley.
• 1:37:32
  Haley is a top 10.
• 1:37:34
  Taylor's a top five athlete
• 1:37:36
  almost every year.
• 1:37:37
  She is.
• 1:37:38
  I'm like, I, you know,
• 1:37:40
  I know that you say area
• 1:37:42
  low and because of her podium,
• 1:37:44
  Haley Adams has had the
• 1:37:46
  best performances as a us
• 1:37:48
  female athlete above, in my opinion,
• 1:37:52
  Carrie Pierce, even like pretty close.
• 1:37:56
  Yeah.
• 1:37:56
  Pretty close to like a Carrie Pierce.
• 1:37:59
  She just doesn't have the podium.
• 1:38:01
  She just doesn't have the podium,
• 1:38:02
  but she's that Scott Pancha.
• 1:38:05
  She's that fourth, fifth, sixth.
• 1:38:08
  She's so consistent.
• 1:38:11
  I think she's going to have
• 1:38:12
  events where she middles,
• 1:38:14
  but I think that the field
• 1:38:15
  has gotten stronger in the
• 1:38:17
  year she took off.
• 1:38:21
  So is she, probably.
• 1:38:22
  Yeah, I think she has, too.
• 1:38:24
  That front squat workout
• 1:38:25
  really made me... And she's
• 1:38:27
  great on machines.
• 1:38:28
  I don't even think it was
• 1:38:29
  the front squats.
• 1:38:29
  I think it was the dubs.
• 1:38:33
  I think it was the front squats.
• 1:38:34
  A little bit more.
• 1:38:36
  And dubs a little bit,
• 1:38:37
  but I think it was a lot of
• 1:38:38
  the front squats.
• 1:38:40
  So I do want to address this.
• 1:38:42
  Why did Ariel drop from everyone's radar?
• 1:38:44
  She finished third last year.
• 1:38:45
  She didn't drop from my radar.
• 1:38:48
  I put her in that top tier of athletes.
• 1:38:51
  I think she's just such a
• 1:38:52
  consistent athlete.
• 1:38:53
  So people forget about her.
• 1:38:54
  Like she's just always going
• 1:38:55
  to be a top top 10 and on every event,
• 1:38:58
  like she doesn't have low finishes.
• 1:39:00
  So people just,
• 1:39:01
  she just kind of floats is
• 1:39:02
  always in the mix.
• 1:39:03
  So people forget about her
• 1:39:05
  cause she might not win a
• 1:39:06
  bunch of events.
• 1:39:07
  Um, although she has one, you know, events,
• 1:39:11
  I think she does have definitely home run,
• 1:39:13
  uh, potential,
• 1:39:15
  but I think she just does
• 1:39:17
  it more quietly.
• 1:39:19
  But I think she's really relevant.
• 1:39:21
  She doesn't have major holes at all.
• 1:39:25
  I think you take Raptus, Magawa, Lowen,
• 1:39:30
  and Gazan,
• 1:39:33
  and you put them in a bag and
• 1:39:35
  shake them up,
• 1:39:35
  and they could fall in any order.
• 1:39:39
  Yeah, it depends on the programming.
• 1:39:40
  And Abby Domet has the
• 1:39:42
  opportunity to move into that,
• 1:39:45
  but I want to see it at the
• 1:39:46
  games before I move her into that.
• 1:39:50
  Daniel Brandon in there too, maybe.
• 1:39:52
  Close to those athletes.
• 1:39:57
  I don't have her up there, but you can.
• 1:40:00
  Do you like Emma Tall?
• 1:40:01
  I think she's... I do,
• 1:40:04
  but I think they all have
• 1:40:06
  bigger holes than the
• 1:40:07
  people we mentioned.
• 1:40:12
  We'll see.
• 1:40:14
  Time will tell.
• 1:40:16
  Should be a hell of a fight.
• 1:40:17
  Yeah, the men is crazy.
• 1:40:20
  Beyond crazy.
• 1:40:22
  Yeah, I'm excited for that.
• 1:40:26
  That you put all the top
• 1:40:28
  seven or eight in a bag and
• 1:40:29
  you have no idea.
• 1:40:31
  And it's not just the
• 1:40:32
  competitiveness of the field.
• 1:40:35
  It's the personalities that
• 1:40:36
  are starting to come out of
• 1:40:37
  the men's side.
• 1:40:38
  And that's making it more exciting.
• 1:40:45
  Yeah.
• 1:40:47
