1:19
Got home from Holland today.
1:21
Did the Frostbite Marathon relay that we
1:23
do every year.
1:25
Crazy weather over in Holland.
1:26
Do you want to talk about your accident?
1:30
I didn't get in an accident, fortunately.
1:34
But yeah, there was... Scott's got the...
1:37
Here you go.
1:39
I couldn't see it when you sent it
1:41
to me,
1:41
so this is the first time I'm seeing
1:43
it.
1:43
I couldn't open it.
1:50
wow can't hear you scott it's conflicting
1:57
with the music hundred plus car pile up
2:02
in michigan today conflicting with the
2:04
music oh no that was the other thing
2:07
Um, yeah,
2:08
we were finishing up breakfast and, like,
2:11
it was kind of, like,
2:12
almost like an Amber Alert.
2:13
Like, everyone's phone in that restaurant,
2:15
like, beeped.
2:16
We all looked down and it's, like,
2:18
a hundred plus car pileup.
2:20
A boy, like,
2:21
basically said the highways are shut down
2:23
both directions.
2:24
So we had to take...
2:26
just some side back roads quite a ways
2:29
till we got out of town and go
2:31
around it all.
2:32
Um, but yet the winds were like,
2:34
I don't know,
2:34
a forty mile per hour gust of winds.
2:37
It was crazy.
2:38
Uh, Trish says,
2:38
and we think Americans are going to
2:40
survive Greenland.
2:41
Yeah.
2:42
And I mean,
2:43
most Michigan people know how to drive in
2:45
this stuff.
2:46
They just, it just takes one.
2:48
I know.
2:49
And you can see,
2:50
you can see right there.
2:51
It's like,
2:51
it's like twelve semis bunched up.
2:54
So like, I don't know,
2:55
from what I read,
2:56
it was a car that hit a semi,
2:57
but you get,
2:59
you get too many of those semis in
3:01
a row like that.
3:01
It's just, I mean, you can't stop.
3:04
It's, it was, like I said,
3:05
it was really gusty.
3:08
So I'm sure it was icy.
3:10
Wow.
3:12
Trish said she hit the dislike button,
3:13
but it wasn't free.
3:14
It cost ten dollars.
3:16
I'm glad you feel that passionately about
3:18
it, Trish.
3:19
As long as you are convicted in your
3:22
dislike and you pay the ten dollars,
3:24
I'm cool with that, too.
3:28
um yeah what the weather was crazy this
3:30
morning i woke up and it was like
3:31
a white out outside my window i'm so
3:35
glad we had the day off uh so
3:37
i just grabbed my coffee got under a
3:38
blanket and said the heck with the snow
3:41
i'm just staying inside
3:43
We had a school day that was off
3:46
last week and it was just the perfect
3:48
timing that I just needed that day off.
3:51
All this,
3:52
I think it was all the schools in
3:53
Ontario were closed.
3:54
Not just the buses were canceled,
3:55
but they were closed for like a big
3:58
snowstorm that was coming.
3:59
So got a lot of schoolwork done that
4:02
day and it was well needed.
4:06
Um,
4:06
my weekend was spent nervous and anxious
4:10
and because the bears were the final game
4:12
of the weekend, uh,
4:13
with the playoffs and Julian Eifert says,
4:15
sorry about your yesterday.
4:18
Uh, but man,
4:18
what a TD throw by Caleb.
4:20
You guys have a boss coach and a
4:22
QB.
4:23
Um, I,
4:24
I talked about a lot of my lunch
4:25
show.
4:25
That's really what took up most of my
4:26
show today.
4:28
And I'm in a good place.
4:29
Uh, this was,
4:30
this was a season where I had no
4:32
expectations.
4:33
So it was the most fun I have
4:35
had watching football because I didn't
4:38
expect any of this.
4:39
Didn't expect to be here.
4:40
And there was a person on one of
4:41
the podcasts that said,
4:43
don't be sad about what happened.
4:45
Be, be happy.
4:46
You got to where you were.
4:48
And that's where I am.
4:49
That's really where I am with the Bears.
4:51
I think the future looks bright and I'm
4:54
anxious.
4:55
Now, next year, there'll be expectations.
4:57
Next year is going to be like a
4:58
very interesting transition.
5:01
Can we keep it going?
5:02
Because people like the Washington
5:04
Commanders, people like the Detroit Lions.
5:08
We haven't.
5:09
And now they're struggling to get back.
5:12
And now we have a first place schedule.
5:14
So we've got to play that too.
5:17
And it's going to be crazy.
5:18
But super happy.
5:19
And Caleb is a dude.
5:21
That throw he threw,
5:23
I bet you my phone blew up.
5:26
more than ever saying that I,
5:27
the bears were the team of destiny,
5:29
all of that kind of stuff.
5:31
And then, and then it all fell apart.
5:34
But that throw was,
5:36
that throw was unbelievable.
5:39
As soon as you started backing up,
5:40
I was like, Oh, there goes the game.
5:42
It's done.
5:43
He threw it.
5:44
And then you look at it,
5:46
go in the air and you're like,
5:47
Oh my God,
5:48
what if someone catches it here?
5:49
And like, it was amazing.
5:51
It was amazing.
5:53
I was sad.
5:54
All three teams that I was cheering for
5:56
this weekend lost.
5:59
Kenneth, with an attitude like that,
6:01
though,
6:01
they will never win the Super Bowl.
6:02
My attitude does not affect the Chicago
6:04
Bears one bit.
6:06
Just letting you know.
6:08
I was there rooting every minute,
6:10
every second of that game with full voice
6:14
just because I can put it in perspective
6:15
afterwards.
6:16
I'm not a player.
6:17
I'm not a coach.
6:18
I have no effect on the game.
6:22
Um, Julian Eifert says Chicago,
6:24
Chicago will win a championship in the
6:25
next three years.
6:26
All they need is a defense.
6:28
Their defense came to play last night too,
6:30
which was a very uncanny and just to
6:33
lose.
6:33
Um, yeah, Carolyn,
6:35
what blew me away is I was really
6:37
rooting for Josh Allen, the Broncos win.
6:40
And then to hear that their quarterback is
6:42
out for the season,
6:43
ten minutes later and you're like,
6:45
what the hell?
6:48
That was crazy.
6:49
I thought it was like fake news.
6:51
I was like, oh,
6:51
this is just a rumor.
6:53
Sean Payton had to do two press
6:55
conferences last night after the game
6:56
because people didn't believe the first
6:58
one.
7:00
And Fergie, you were right.
7:02
The Bills were robbed.
7:04
Okay, the refs, yes.
7:06
But okay,
7:07
was that like a catch or not?
7:11
It's the same thing that happened in the
7:13
next day of the game.
7:16
Right.
7:16
They're showing it side by side.
7:18
Devontae Adams in the Bears game and
7:22
Brandon Cooks in the Bills game.
7:24
I think it was a catch.
7:25
It was a catch.
7:26
I think so too.
7:26
Like I guess they have to survive the
7:30
ground, but I thought he had possession.
7:34
And then he was down.
7:36
The fact that they didn't go to a
7:38
full replay is very hokey in my opinion.
7:44
And then the next,
7:44
the two plays in overtime that they call
7:47
the penalty was ridiculous as well because
7:49
they let it go all game,
7:50
and then now all of a sudden they
7:51
want to throw the flag.
7:53
Exactly.
7:54
Like,
7:54
I just don't like when the refs get
7:55
in the way like that.
7:57
If you're not going to call it,
7:58
let them play.
7:59
But, yeah, that ruined it.
8:06
For the weekly Fergie question for Jamie,
8:09
would you rather do the polar plunge in
8:10
Lake Michigan or teach middle school girls
8:12
Fran?
8:13
A hundred percent middle school girls,
8:15
Fran.
8:16
I am not a cold weather fan and
8:21
like ice.
8:21
I I'll do ice baths occasionally,
8:25
but I'm like a mess for like hours
8:28
afterwards.
8:29
I have renowned.
8:30
So like my fingers and toes will be
8:32
gone.
8:35
Um, yeah, if you do,
8:37
if you don't know Jamie,
8:38
like if the fans on her too long,
8:40
she flips out, she hates cold breeze,
8:44
anything.
8:47
Larry Young, Texans down.
8:48
Today at class,
8:50
ask three people if they were signing up
8:51
for the open.
8:52
Three excuses.
8:54
I'm like, facepalm.
8:56
I do think I convinced two to do
8:57
it, but let's be real.
8:58
I'm not the person who should be pushing
9:00
the open.
9:01
Yes, you are, Larry.
9:02
You're putting yourself down.
9:04
Yeah, you are.
9:06
Everybody should push the open.
9:07
Everybody that does it should push it.
9:09
It's just a great community event.
9:12
Yeah.
9:16
There we go.
9:17
All right.
9:18
Another thing that happened this weekend
9:21
was...
9:23
Randy was done in Colorado with seminar
9:27
staff, Dave Castro, James Hobart,
9:31
and Nick Matthew went for the world record
9:34
in Randy.
9:37
I love the concept of the video.
9:40
I love that you're going into an
9:42
affiliate.
9:43
You're showing the affiliate had done
9:44
Randy,
9:45
that they had coached them on Randy.
9:48
I love all of that aspects of it.
9:51
Nick then doing it,
9:53
The video got choppy.
9:56
It broke up.
9:57
There was no visible clock.
10:00
So you couldn't tell what the time was.
10:03
If you're going to do it,
10:04
just take a couple extra seconds to add
10:08
the elements you need to to make it
10:09
a fantastic event.
10:11
Because the idea and the concept was
10:13
awesome.
10:14
It just needed a tiny bit of an
10:16
execution tweak to make it decent.
10:20
Did you guys get to see it at
10:22
all?
10:22
I did not see it.
10:23
Yeah, I watched it live.
10:26
I was making my prediction on his time
10:28
and got it spot on.
10:30
Wow.
10:31
I think there's a few that were like
10:32
saying like sub two.
10:33
I was like, no way.
10:35
Well, we did.
10:36
We did Randy for the service cup last
10:41
year.
10:42
Not twenty twenty five.
10:42
The twenty twenty four,
10:43
I think service copper,
10:46
whatever one was online.
10:47
So I remember doing it at that point.
10:49
So I had a rough idea of times
10:52
that we would see.
10:55
And the minute,
10:55
the minute he broke at fifty,
10:57
I knew it was over because Dan Bailey
10:59
never broke at that regional.
11:00
What's that?
11:03
Dan Bailey never broke at that regional.
11:06
Yeah, you did.
11:06
You had to move up every twenty five.
11:08
You had to move it to twenty five.
11:10
That's a big difference.
11:11
Okay.
11:13
Like you're not doing seventy five on the
11:15
spot.
11:15
Like that's your breakup right there.
11:16
That's your rest to go and continue and
11:19
relax the grip.
11:20
Yeah.
11:22
Yeah,
11:23
because I was at regional that year as
11:24
well and did Randy that year too.
11:27
But yeah, I liked watching it.
11:30
Yeah,
11:30
the beginning of the video was blurry,
11:33
but then after that it was fine.
11:34
But yeah, you just wanted the clock there.
11:37
Yeah.
11:39
Andrew says Castro wasn't there at least I
11:41
didn't see him he talked about it in
11:43
the week in review and he said we
11:46
and so maybe it was a collective we
11:49
as opposed to me included in the we
11:51
like we CrossFit HQ were there yeah or
11:54
maybe I misinterpreted that Vicky says
12:00
Larry they're probably just scared offer
12:01
to pay the registration I did that for
12:03
four people this week at my gym that's
12:06
awesome Vicky
12:08
That is awesome.
12:10
And then Hiller did the side-by-side with
12:14
Nick after.
12:18
He went unbroken, I think.
12:21
Yeah, I think he went unbroken.
12:24
Jamie, who do you think won?
12:25
Hiller or Nick Matthew?
12:26
Don't look at the comments.
12:30
Well,
12:30
Carolyn just said Hiller went unbroken,
12:32
so...
12:33
I thought maybe I'm missing it.
12:35
He did.
12:36
Yeah.
12:36
Okay.
12:37
That's what I thought.
12:37
I was like, I don't think I remember.
12:39
Still doesn't mean it didn't slow down.
12:43
I don't know.
12:46
Got to make a guess.
12:48
I don't know.
12:48
I'll say Hiller.
12:50
Nope.
12:50
Nick Matthew won by like twenty seconds.
12:52
Oh, wow.
12:53
Yeah.
12:56
Unbroken doesn't mean better if you're
12:57
going to slow down and cycle speed slows
13:00
down.
13:01
Yeah, I could see that.
13:05
Wow, that's crazy.
13:08
Hiller did not win.
13:10
It was a good side-by-side.
13:11
Hiller really did slow down.
13:13
It was very evident.
13:15
He went unbroken,
13:16
but he got really slow at the end.
13:22
Yeah.
13:22
Jamie,
13:22
you can retire to the Villages in Florida.
13:24
I know an awesome sales rep for the
13:26
Villages.
13:27
Yeah.
13:27
My parents are in Bradenton,
13:30
so we visit there.
13:34
That condo will stay in the family.
13:39
Fergie, with a quick game update,
13:40
Indiana not ready for Miami Speed.
13:43
I don't like that.
13:45
Miami is so fast and so athletic.
13:47
Don't want them to win.
13:48
And they're playing at home.
13:53
It just shows you it's messed up how
13:56
they pick the playoff teams because Notre
13:59
Dame and Miami were so close in the
14:00
regular season, and for one to get in,
14:03
one not,
14:03
and one make it to the national
14:05
championship game, it's just not right.
14:10
Okay.
14:11
So the other thing that Dave talked about
14:13
on his week in review is that this
14:15
Randy thing that they did with Nick in
14:17
Colorado there is going to be a series.
14:20
The next one up is with the Boys
14:22
Interrupted,
14:23
and they're going to be doing something at
14:24
the ranch.
14:28
And then after that,
14:28
they are then doing the SAP Center
14:32
throwdown with the affiliate gathering.
14:36
It's two separate events.
14:38
So if you're an affiliate and you want
14:39
to just go to the gathering,
14:40
you can do that.
14:41
But there will also be a throwdown with
14:42
the Boys Interrupted at the SAP Center.
14:47
But not Randy?
14:48
No.
14:49
Not Randy.
14:50
Okay.
14:51
Not that I know of.
14:52
I think it's going to be something
14:53
different each time.
14:56
Okay.
14:56
Is the way it sounded.
14:58
I'm trying to look at the cap workouts
15:00
right now and see if there's any in
15:02
this upcoming week that's like a hero
15:04
workout or something that I could see them
15:05
doing.
15:06
No, I don't see it.
15:09
Uh, for he says, make him do,
15:11
do the trail run with the turnaround.
15:13
So they, they, the boys did have a,
15:16
they, Jason wants to do a trail run.
15:18
Okay.
15:19
And he wants to do it for pride,
15:21
not for bets or anything like that.
15:23
And Justin said,
15:23
if you turn off your Instagram and all
15:26
your phones are turned in and we do
15:28
this for just ourselves and not for the
15:30
internet, he'll, he was in on it.
15:33
And so, and Jason was like, sure,
15:36
that's what I,
15:37
that's what we want to do.
15:38
Hmm.
15:41
So anyway, so that's coming up.
15:47
And I guess look for some more stuff
15:49
like that leading up.
15:50
The Air National Guard is sponsoring all
15:54
of this.
15:56
So they are working in conjunction with
15:57
them.
15:58
So let's get to... Oh, go ahead.
16:00
I have seen so...
16:01
I don't know if you guys have seen
16:02
this.
16:02
If you haven't seen so many posts and
16:04
comments regarding...
16:07
Like the Air National Guard being a
16:09
sponsor and people like that being a big
16:11
reason some people don't want to sign up
16:13
for the open.
16:14
They feel like it's too politicized or
16:16
they means they are supporting military.
16:18
And it's just I mean, I don't know.
16:22
We can't I don't understand what they want
16:24
HQ to do.
16:25
Like we have to get money where we
16:26
can get money.
16:31
I agree.
16:32
I agree.
16:33
Every sport has sponsors and every,
16:35
every sponsor can,
16:37
you can find something wrong with them.
16:40
If so, I don't know.
16:43
It is what it is.
16:46
Yeah.
16:46
It's just frustrating to hear.
16:47
I don't think that let's be honest.
16:50
I don't think CrossFit is getting their
16:51
pick of the litter of sponsors at this
16:53
point in time.
16:54
Exactly.
16:57
Um,
16:58
it's always,
16:59
we've always had a relationship with the
17:00
military.
17:01
If you think about it, I mean,
17:01
it's a very American centric company.
17:04
Uh, it's got its roots in from military.
17:08
So yeah, I mean,
17:09
I don't know what they,
17:10
they just want them to turn their backs
17:12
on the roots because we've,
17:15
because it's become worldwide and now we
17:16
have to, I mean, you gotta,
17:19
you gotta take what you can get.
17:20
I agree.
17:23
Um, I thought there was more,
17:26
there was more fan or more hatred or
17:30
vitriol about the border patrol than there
17:32
has been about the air national guard.
17:35
Um, but yeah.
17:36
Yeah.
17:37
So I feel like that should be a
17:38
step in the right direction for some of
17:39
those people.
17:40
Like, okay,
17:40
this is your national guard is like
17:43
someone said, pretty innocuous.
17:44
Like that's probably the best we were
17:47
going to be able to get to appease
17:48
some of you.
17:51
Um, all right, let's do bet.
17:53
Uh,
17:55
Pencil, pen, or Sharpie.
17:57
First one.
17:59
Rogue staying in Scotland is a good thing.
18:02
If people did not see the news,
18:04
Rogue made the announcement,
18:05
and I will pull that up real quick.
18:07
I have their Instagram.
18:14
This is what they posted today.
18:15
This is their day.
18:16
This is their day.
18:16
This is what they posted today.
18:18
This is what they posted today.
18:20
This is what they posted today.
18:21
This is what they posted today.
18:24
After two epic years at PNJ Live that
18:26
brought the world's top CrossFit athletes,
18:28
strong men and strong women,
18:29
competitors to the heart of Scotland's
18:31
legendary strength culture,
18:33
twenty twenty six marks our final year in
18:36
Aberdeen.
18:40
So it was announced by Katie on some
18:45
pot on Savan and coffee pods and wads
18:48
that they,
18:50
this would last year would have been their
18:51
final year in Scotland.
18:53
Most likely she did put that little caveat
18:56
on the end and now it looks like
19:00
they're going back.
19:01
So my guess is finding venues is not
19:04
easy.
19:06
And they've had a great relationship with
19:08
Aberdeen.
19:09
So my question in the pencil pen or
19:11
Sharpie is,
19:11
is staying in Scotland for one more year
19:14
a good thing?
19:18
I think Sharpie.
19:19
I think they have everything figured out
19:21
there.
19:22
They have local affiliates that they can
19:24
go to, especially CrossFit Aberdeen.
19:28
I'm sure that they understand the distance
19:31
or the travel of the equipment that needs
19:33
to get there.
19:33
All of that is settled.
19:35
I bet they need one more year in
19:36
order to get ready to host it back
19:38
in Ohio.
19:41
They're not quite ready for next year.
19:44
They need one more year.
19:44
They just know what they're going to get
19:46
out of Aberdeen.
19:47
Fans are great.
19:48
Venue's easy to get to.
19:50
Right by the airport.
19:52
It's going to come back to Ohio,
19:53
I think, the following year.
19:54
That's my prediction.
19:56
Yeah.
19:57
You can't fault them for staying there if
20:00
they didn't have something else lined up.
20:03
Once you have those logistics set up,
20:04
it totally makes sense.
20:07
I'd say, I mean, selfishly,
20:08
I wanted it to come back here to
20:10
Ohio.
20:11
But I don't think this is a bad
20:13
thing at all.
20:14
They crushed it there.
20:16
Europe shows up.
20:17
So, yeah, I mean,
20:18
I'd say probably Sharpie for sure.
20:20
Penn, if not Sharpie.
20:22
I understand Sharpie, Vicky Penn,
20:26
Larry Young Crayon.
20:29
Aberdeen Tourism wrote the check.
20:32
John George Penn.
20:35
Kenneth Lapp Pencil, USA, USA, USA.
20:39
I'm with a pen.
20:41
I've never been there,
20:42
so I don't know what the feel of
20:45
the whole thing is.
20:48
Is it a festival feel?
20:49
Is there more than just the action on
20:51
the floor?
20:52
the action on the floor is awesome and
20:54
combining the strong man and strong women,
20:57
especially in that area of the world where
20:59
that is so huge is,
21:01
is a good thing.
21:02
So I'm,
21:03
I'm like a really like pressed hard pen.
21:06
I'm just not sure I can go all
21:08
the way to Sharpie.
21:09
Cause I just want to make sure that
21:11
after three years,
21:12
do the crowd start not seeing it as
21:15
a novelty anymore?
21:16
And do they stop coming or, or,
21:19
Are they,
21:20
are they really a fabric of that community
21:22
that wants to come time after time?
21:27
But I do think that even though she
21:29
said that with a caveat,
21:31
I think it is truly,
21:33
truly the last year because she was
21:38
listening to her on the podcast.
21:39
She was stressed about the shipping
21:41
containers getting to Scotland and
21:44
And I think that adds a huge stress
21:46
to her and Bill that I think they're
21:49
trying to avoid.
21:50
So I agree with Carolyn.
21:52
I think they will try to go back
21:53
to the States the year after.
21:56
And I would love if they came back
21:59
to Ohio.
21:59
Yes.
22:01
I agree.
22:02
The stream times are terrible times.
22:04
I mean, we are spoiled here in America.
22:09
We want our time zones.
22:10
It is hard to get up for those
22:11
events and watch those.
22:14
Well, if it's here in Columbus, I mean,
22:16
I'm just going.
22:16
Yeah.
22:18
Like that's not even a question.
22:20
We will be there.
22:22
Vicki.
22:22
Plus they put a lot of money into
22:24
that arena just for that event.
22:25
I mean, it looks great.
22:28
It looks awesome.
22:37
I think the running event in Aberdeen
22:38
unlocked a new level.
22:40
I agree with that.
22:41
Yeah.
22:41
I, I think that's a great point.
22:43
I thought the fact that they ran indoor
22:45
made that event so much better in terms
22:48
of they were able to follow the action
22:50
the whole time inside the fans were there
22:52
like right beside no, um,
22:55
impact of the rain.
22:56
Cause it does rain a lot at that
22:57
time of the year.
22:58
I thought it was a cool event.
23:03
Uh,
23:03
Larry bring that tourism money to Ohio.
23:09
CrossFit,
23:09
Scott even hates watching NFL Europe
23:11
games, we learned.
23:12
Well,
23:12
what I was saying is that when they
23:15
do those nine thirty a.m.
23:16
Eastern time games in the NFL,
23:19
it takes me out of my my schedule.
23:22
Like my Sundays are get up,
23:26
prepare for the show,
23:28
get the rundown done,
23:29
sit down for the pregame,
23:31
go through my football day,
23:33
do the show done.
23:35
And when you start those nine thirty games
23:37
and I'm interested at all,
23:38
then I have then it throws everything off
23:40
and I'm old and I I don't do
23:42
well with change.
23:47
Yeah.
23:47
Kenneth, I prefer the baseball stadium.
23:50
I didn't.
23:51
I didn't either.
23:53
And there was always a weather issue.
23:54
I didn't like it.
23:56
I think that they're over the outdoor
23:57
stuff.
23:58
Yeah,
23:59
I think that last time there with all
24:02
the rain really ruined it.
24:04
The sight lines at the baseball stadium
24:06
just were not as good as an arena
24:09
built to be around the floor like they
24:12
did in Scotland.
24:14
Like they built those stands right up to
24:16
the floor.
24:17
The sight lines are so much better.
24:23
CrossFat says it's really hard to get
24:25
hammered for a nine a.m.
24:26
game.
24:27
You can't drink all day if you don't
24:29
start in the morning.
24:33
Picked a bad time to stop drinking.
24:35
NAI WFP at an indoor running event didn't
24:40
go as well.
24:43
Well, I think that's the thing, right?
24:45
Like in, in Scotland,
24:47
there were crowds all along that running
24:49
path that added to both the,
24:54
the event there in person and the stream
24:56
because you saw the people cheering as
24:58
people ran by.
25:02
With WFP, you didn't get that same feel.
25:09
Yeah.
25:09
Okay.
25:09
All right.
25:14
So that is that.
25:15
What else do we have?
25:16
That's about it for Rogue that we know
25:17
right now.
25:19
Let's go into open registrations.
25:21
Are you guys registered?
25:23
Signed up?
25:24
I signed up the day, first day.
25:29
Same here.
25:30
At your gym?
25:32
Almost every year I sign up.
25:34
Definitely within the first week I try to
25:36
sign up normally.
25:40
Do you guys feel there's a wave of
25:44
people wanting to sign up at your gym
25:46
or not?
25:48
Not yet.
25:49
Yeah, not yet.
25:52
We haven't pushed the team stuff yet.
25:53
We create teams, captains.
25:56
We have a big board,
25:58
and then we start putting the names there
25:59
as people start signing up.
26:01
We haven't really pushed all of that yet.
26:04
So it'll come, I think,
26:05
in the next couple weeks.
26:10
Craig signed up first day.
26:12
Larry signed up first hour.
26:14
Yep, same.
26:16
um so they've done a lot this year
26:18
with we we were dogging them for not
26:21
doing it on the first or the second
26:23
to to capture that like new year's
26:25
resolution thing but since that since we
26:28
talked last time all the personalized
26:30
reels for the athletes you can get a
26:33
personalized reel for your affiliate dave
26:36
castro has a personalized reel that is
26:38
just funny
26:40
Um, and it's,
26:41
it's cool to go back and see all
26:43
the times,
26:44
all the open announcements that they did
26:46
in his reel, right?
26:47
That was really fun.
26:49
I think they've done a really cool job
26:50
with that part of the marketing.
26:52
I also like the bundle packages you can
26:54
get.
26:54
Now you can bundle a t-shirt,
26:57
your open registration,
26:59
the judges course all in one bundle.
27:02
And I really love that.
27:03
And I love the fact that you as
27:05
an affiliate can purchase, um,
27:08
at a discounted rate,
27:09
a group of open registrations and hand
27:15
them out to your athletes.
27:19
I think that is really cool.
27:23
They also have done already a release of
27:26
Dave Castro behind the scenes doing twenty
27:28
six point one research and testing.
27:32
There are already people with guesses as
27:34
to what it may be.
27:37
just by hearing the squeak of a shoe.
27:41
I find that humorous.
27:44
Are you guys sleuthing or are you just
27:46
letting it go?
27:50
I don't know.
27:52
I think it, I mean,
27:53
I think it could be the burpee over
27:54
the roar.
27:57
I know that one's been tossed out there.
28:00
I was like the new movement.
28:02
No,
28:03
just what might be in twenty six point
28:05
one.
28:06
Ropey over the roar.
28:08
Have we done that before in the open?
28:10
I don't think so.
28:12
Oh, there you go.
28:13
That adds up.
28:17
I like it.
28:17
I like it.
28:20
I didn't think, like,
28:21
I didn't see enough in the video that,
28:24
like, gave me a clue, really, except for,
28:25
like, talking about Unbroken.
28:27
Like,
28:28
I doubt that they would do a death
28:30
by workout, but I don't know.
28:36
But no,
28:36
I didn't see anything that gave me too,
28:40
too much of a clue.
28:41
I feel like that they're all similar type
28:43
of gets you scared for the first workout
28:47
every year.
28:51
Dave Castro said it's going to start with
28:52
a bang.
28:52
Yeah,
28:54
I think he says something like that every
28:56
year.
28:56
I think possibly wall balls in point one.
29:07
I don't know.
29:08
Kenneth says the Korea trip workout is the
29:09
hot guess.
29:10
I've heard that.
29:12
I don't think it'll be that.
29:13
Not with the way...
29:15
Which one was that one?
29:17
It's that like twenty rounder or thirty
29:20
rounder of the row burpee over row
29:23
dumbbell snatch.
29:30
I don't think it'll be that.
29:32
It's...
29:33
Too long of a workout, in my opinion.
29:37
Fergie says,
29:38
can we scrap the shuttle runs?
29:39
They're pointless.
29:42
I don't think they're pointless.
29:44
I think you do have to try to
29:46
test running where you can.
29:47
And I don't know.
29:52
They're definitely interference for a lot
29:54
of the population.
29:58
Yeah.
30:00
Then on the other hand, Kenneth says,
30:01
bring back the shuttle runs.
30:04
So I don't know.
30:06
We saw Boz talk about it.
30:09
Boz likes him.
30:14
Yeah.
30:14
So as long as he has something to
30:15
do with it, we're going to see him,
30:17
I'm guessing.
30:20
The other thing that was discussed on Dave
30:23
Castro that I thought,
30:25
Dave Castro's Week in Review,
30:27
that I thought would get Carolyn's ears
30:28
perked up was the fact that someone
30:32
brought up in the comments that they
30:33
should do a five-week open with the first
30:36
three weeks being the open and the next
30:38
two weeks being quarterfinals and it be
30:41
one continuous score to the end.
30:44
What?
30:45
And Dave said that they would never do
30:47
it that way because they want to do
30:48
a weekend where you up the volume to
30:52
test for what it's going to be like
30:54
in the next round.
30:55
But he was open to the idea of
30:58
a three-week or four-week open and then a
31:01
quarterfinal weekend.
31:03
And he liked the idea of carrying over
31:05
the score.
31:06
Awesome.
31:07
Now,
31:07
whether or not that makes any traction,
31:10
they're not doing it this year,
31:12
but I know it's something on this show
31:13
we have been pushing for a ton and
31:17
it would be really cool to see if
31:19
something like that did come about.
31:24
Did you get, you got, yeah, she's smiling.
31:27
Yeah.
31:27
No, like I, I mean,
31:29
we've talked about it.
31:30
As long as the videos are open,
31:32
I think that you can do it if
31:34
you, but we talked about last, last time,
31:36
like having, I guess like a leaderboard,
31:38
maybe that's like,
31:38
if you want to move on,
31:39
you check this in the registration.
31:41
If you're just participating in the open
31:44
with your community, you check,
31:45
like you can still have a competitive
31:47
leaderboard,
31:47
but in terms of having the points carry
31:49
over,
31:50
maybe just the ones that check during the
31:52
competition season gets our points carried
31:54
over.
31:54
Yeah.
31:56
Something like that could be used,
31:58
but yeah.
32:00
CrossFat thinks XXVI is gated or capped.
32:04
They did keep saying,
32:05
are they going to get to this?
32:07
Yes, they did.
32:08
But that doesn't mean gated.
32:10
It just could mean there's a lot of
32:11
volume to get through to get to like
32:13
this piece.
32:14
Yeah.
32:14
Yeah.
32:18
Like the first open I did and they
32:20
had the hundred and fifty wall balls into
32:23
the ninety double unders into the thirty
32:25
ring muscle ups.
32:26
I didn't even make it to the ring
32:27
muscle ups.
32:29
And it wasn't gated or capped.
32:31
I just, I guess capped.
32:34
But...
32:38
Shuttle runs are basically slow burpees in
32:40
terms of physical effort.
32:41
Yeah,
32:41
I just don't have to bend over to
32:43
do them.
32:43
They should do that burpee shuttle.
32:45
That was...
32:48
I do really like the burpee shuttles.
32:50
I liked it too.
32:53
Um, um,
32:57
Hiller walked in and proved them
32:58
pointless.
32:59
Hiller can walk fast.
33:01
Yeah.
33:02
Individual.
33:07
It also depends on how the shuttle runs
33:10
are programmed.
33:11
Not every workout you could do shuttle
33:13
runs and walk and do well in it.
33:15
Absolutely.
33:16
It honestly depends on the workout.
33:19
So I don't think that they're pointless.
33:23
John George, ooh,
33:24
I like the burpee shuttle idea.
33:27
NorCal's programmed the burpee shuttle the
33:29
last couple qualifiers.
33:32
Uh, Vicki says,
33:33
I love the teaser videos and the behind
33:34
the scenes of workout creation for the
33:36
games.
33:37
I liked them last year.
33:38
I liked it.
33:39
This year was even like pretty short.
33:40
It was a quick watch, um,
33:42
but still entertaining.
33:48
Um, uh,
33:51
you can program them correctly and punish
33:53
the walk, just like Jamie said.
33:55
Um,
33:59
It's row or burpees over rower and wall
34:01
ball.
34:02
That's where my head's at.
34:04
He said, everybody can do it.
34:05
I'm not sure everybody's comfortable
34:07
jumping over a rower.
34:08
Well, maybe you can step.
34:10
Yeah.
34:10
The skilled is stepping over.
34:13
Maybe they don't even dictate it.
34:14
And I mean, it's just, it,
34:16
it's quicker to jump over,
34:18
but if you want to step,
34:19
you can step.
34:24
Uh,
34:27
Uh, keeping it real.
34:29
I spent hours examining the video.
34:32
Uh,
34:32
there's something unbroken from the video.
34:34
That's gotta be wobbles.
34:35
Yeah.
34:37
Like a Karen.
34:42
I don't think burpee over rower.
34:43
That's like shins on a razor scooter.
34:47
I'm not burpee box jump overs.
34:50
Yeah.
34:50
I mean,
34:51
we've done how many times burpee box jump
34:53
overs in the open and that that's
34:55
dangerous.
34:56
I don't think I've ever,
34:57
I maybe have like maybe trimmed the rower,
34:59
but like, I don't know.
35:02
I don't think it,
35:03
I don't think it's that.
35:05
If I can rip over my shins,
35:06
I will.
35:07
I'm just saying.
35:08
That's just my life.
35:10
All right.
35:11
The last thing I wanted to talk about
35:13
this is we kind of talked about it,
35:15
I think,
35:17
the invites going out to the semifinals
35:20
when we don't even know who's eligible
35:22
yet.
35:23
And last Sunday night,
35:24
we talked about how at Mayhem last year,
35:27
by victoria it was i said sasha it's
35:30
victoria it she did not she was not
35:33
eligible for the season she participated
35:36
and because of her scores it altered the
35:39
leaderboard and it last year it finished
35:43
fee abby emily yep with vicky with
35:47
victoria's stuff out it would have been
35:50
emily fee abby
35:53
So it flipped it completely.
35:55
And Emily, who never,
35:56
ever got an invite to the games,
35:59
would have had that at the first semifinal
36:02
of the year.
36:04
Abby would have had to compete to get
36:05
her invite at other locations.
36:09
So it was a huge difference.
36:12
Now we're seeing like all these qualifiers
36:14
out there.
36:15
They're all ahead of the Open.
36:18
And now you're seeing people turning down
36:20
semifinals and they're in the second round
36:22
of invites.
36:23
It has just become utter madness.
36:25
And I know I have this lower on
36:27
the list, but I'm bringing it up now.
36:31
And I'm going to pull it up here
36:34
because I find this just ridiculous.
36:36
So this was a story on Mayhem's,
36:40
the Mayhem Classics Instagram.
36:43
Here are the people they crossed off
36:44
everybody who declined their invite in the
36:47
first round of men.
36:49
And then they wrote at the bottom with
36:50
two big eyeballs.
36:51
Imagine being too scared to compete at the
36:53
classic.
37:00
I try not to be a sensitive individual
37:02
about these things,
37:03
but that really kind of upset me.
37:07
There are so many options for these
37:09
athletes.
37:10
Why is it because they don't want to
37:12
do your particular one?
37:13
Are they scared?
37:18
That makes no sense to me.
37:22
I mean,
37:22
I think a lot of people don't necessarily
37:24
want to go this early in the season.
37:29
Here's the thing.
37:30
And it,
37:31
the question came up to the boys
37:32
interrupted and I was listening to them
37:33
right before we went on the air.
37:35
Three of them live on the West Coast.
37:37
Right.
37:38
To get to Cookville is not an easy
37:40
journey.
37:42
You have to fly to Nashville.
37:43
You have to rent a car.
37:45
You've got to drive an hour.
37:46
Then you've got to find a hotel and
37:49
all of that kind of stuff, right?
37:51
Now, for an East Coaster,
37:52
it's probably not as bad.
37:53
Or for like Jason,
37:55
he could just drive over.
37:56
And Jason is in.
37:59
But if Del Mar is an option for
38:01
me on the West Coast,
38:02
or NorCal is an option for me on
38:04
the West Coast,
38:05
and I don't have to do all that
38:06
travel and then go cross-country when I
38:09
get to Tennessee,
38:10
wouldn't that be a lot easier for me?
38:13
Absolutely.
38:15
Plus, there's only three spots.
38:17
Yep.
38:19
And you're picking the way that that goes
38:22
out for... I mean,
38:23
it's going to be that way pretty much
38:24
for all of them because it's top-twenty or
38:26
whatever, getting invites, but...
38:28
I mean,
38:28
you've picked the top people in the sport.
38:31
Yeah,
38:32
you can't have all of them at one
38:33
event.
38:34
That's going to be, I mean.
38:36
Yeah, I mean,
38:36
I think people are trying to play it
38:38
smart.
38:38
Like, you're going to look at your odds.
38:40
If you know these people are going to
38:42
go there, you're like, okay,
38:43
I'm going to go elsewhere because why
38:44
waste my money and time training if I
38:47
feel like those people are better than me?
38:50
Yeah.
38:52
Go elsewhere as more people have already
38:54
qualified,
38:55
more holes towards the back end.
39:03
Um, Phil B,
39:03
there's only three spots and would be
39:05
tough to qualify if they all turned up.
39:07
Right.
39:07
And you only, you only have,
39:09
they learned last year.
39:10
You only have so many competitions in you
39:13
to peak and qualify.
39:15
And so you don't want to waste your
39:17
chances.
39:19
Right.
39:20
Uh, Shanna says,
39:21
it sounds like something Mertens would
39:22
say.
39:24
I would get it from another athlete.
39:26
I love the trash talking,
39:27
but from an event organizer, uh,
39:30
I find it a little over the top.
39:33
It is a little weird coming straight from
39:36
them.
39:38
Even if it came from Rich's account and
39:40
he said something,
39:40
I would find that funny.
39:42
It's weird coming from Mayhem.
39:46
And in a way,
39:47
it's dogging the other options.
39:50
It's dogging Syndicate and Delmar and
39:53
NorCal.
39:57
I just read it as a friendly joke
39:59
to me.
40:05
There is some sort of truth to it.
40:07
There are athletes that are scared that
40:09
that's going to be a wasted spot,
40:12
a wasted weekend.
40:14
Whether you want to say it or not,
40:15
you are kind of scared to battle against
40:18
that whole group because you're not quite
40:20
confident in
40:22
in yourself to earn that spot that weekend
40:24
so there is some truth to it but
40:26
there's also like the joking fun well has
40:30
has mayhem come out that they are going
40:33
to not let people who don't do the
40:36
open attend see that's a problem i mean
40:40
you've already pointed out the flaw in it
40:43
and they just don't care they're gonna do
40:44
the exact same thing this year
40:47
So Jenny did clip that from us and
40:51
put it on her dense updates.
40:52
And there was a response to that from
40:54
mayhem that was like, Hmm,
40:55
that's interesting.
40:57
Yeah.
40:58
So they may not have even known that
41:01
it truly affected the leaderboard.
41:05
It's,
41:06
it does something good for the season.
41:08
We want people who are even eligible
41:10
competing at these events.
41:12
Yeah.
41:15
My words are coming back to bite me
41:17
because on my lunch show last week,
41:19
I said we needed more controversy and
41:21
storylines to get interest.
41:23
Isn't this the controversy we want to
41:25
drive fan engagement, ma'am,
41:26
as acting the heel?
41:28
But is it effective that the event
41:30
organizers are the heel or is it more
41:32
effective that the athletes are the heel?
41:35
Like if honest to God,
41:36
if Colton Burns posted this,
41:38
I wouldn't even have blinked.
41:39
Yeah.
41:40
That would be like a thing that Colton
41:42
would do.
41:42
Hey,
41:42
you're all afraid to come take me on.
41:44
For sure.
41:46
And that,
41:46
that I would have had no issue with
41:48
at all.
41:48
And I think that would drive the storyline
41:51
like tonight on boys interrupted,
41:52
which I don't know if you've seen it
41:53
yet,
41:54
but Hopper says there's only one other
41:56
person,
41:57
two other people on this list that even
41:58
scare him.
42:01
that that's what I'm looking for.
42:03
Yeah.
42:04
And he said,
42:05
one of them is Jeff Adler.
42:06
So we know that he isn't afraid of
42:09
either Roman Colton or Austin.
42:13
And that's the storyline I'm looking for.
42:16
Not the event organizer getting involved.
42:21
There's CrossFit saying,
42:22
doesn't this call back to my,
42:23
what I said?
42:25
Um,
42:27
It's very Dana White, UFC, Vince McMahon,
42:30
WWE.
42:35
If this was driving a storyline, like,
42:37
if Mayhem would have said, oh,
42:39
you're afraid to come take on our Mayhem
42:40
athletes in our own house or something,
42:43
then, okay,
42:44
now you've driven a storyline that I can
42:46
get into.
42:51
Um...
42:54
I did say it today.
42:55
I said it.
42:56
I just don't think this fits the criteria
42:58
of what I'm saying.
43:01
Shannon wants to know how they cannot know
43:03
that it would have affected the
43:04
leaderboard.
43:05
Exactly.
43:10
What's the prize purse at Mayhem?
43:13
It was decent last year.
43:14
Was it?
43:16
I don't think they've put it out yet.
43:18
Maybe three to five, somewhere in there.
43:20
See,
43:21
that's way lower than some of the other
43:22
ones.
43:23
I thought it was higher.
43:24
I thought it was like ten.
43:27
And then they had the bonus final event.
43:32
Rich put out his own cash.
43:33
Yeah.
43:37
Which was pretty cool.
43:38
I thought that was a neat thing.
43:39
Yeah, probably ten grand.
43:44
I think it was ten.
43:46
But I'm sure they'll put it out publicly.
43:48
They've always done stuff like that.
43:52
And I like mayhem.
43:53
If you listen to my show today,
43:55
Rich was my favorite CrossFit athlete.
43:57
He was the last male athlete I was
43:58
passionate about winning.
44:01
So I hate dogging him,
44:03
but I just had to call it out.
44:05
I just did.
44:06
All right.
44:10
So what's up next on the list?
44:13
Pencil, pen, or Sharpie?
44:15
Let me get it up here.
44:17
The changes to the WFP season will help
44:20
improve interest and participation.
44:24
And we will go over what those are
44:27
right after this.
44:30
I mean, well, I think Sharpie,
44:32
I think they,
44:33
I think I said that at the beginning
44:35
of the year last year,
44:35
that that challenger division made no
44:38
sense.
44:39
Doesn't really give them a shot.
44:40
I think they realized that fairly quickly
44:43
with keeping, I mean,
44:46
Without having some of these people drop
44:48
out,
44:49
I don't think really any of those
44:50
challengers would have had a true shot.
44:53
So, yeah, it needs to be one big.
44:56
Could it have been thirty or forty
44:58
athletes?
45:00
Yes.
45:01
This could be too big of a field.
45:04
I think fifty is too big.
45:08
It's pushing it.
45:10
I think forty at the most.
45:13
At the most.
45:15
I think forty would have been the sweet
45:17
spot.
45:18
Yeah, forty.
45:19
Then you got the twenty pros and then
45:21
twenty of the next trying to fight.
45:22
Exactly.
45:24
But why they're doing this other round of
45:27
inviting five people,
45:28
I feel like that's why they had to
45:29
expand it.
45:32
I mean, do they invite someone like Gabby,
45:35
right, who was out last year?
45:38
Possibly.
45:39
So neither of you have said pencil,
45:40
pen or Sharpie yet.
45:42
I said Sharpie.
45:44
They needed to make changes for sure.
45:45
Yeah.
45:46
Okay.
45:46
Oh yeah.
45:47
Pen.
45:50
I'm not sure.
45:51
I think.
45:52
Yeah.
45:53
Go ahead.
45:58
No, I said,
45:59
I said pen just cause like improve
46:01
interest participation.
46:03
I'm not sure how or like.
46:05
if it will,
46:06
but the season structure is better.
46:09
So in that sense,
46:11
and I think the second time around people
46:12
will know more about it than the first
46:15
time around,
46:15
like just like understand a little bit
46:17
more of how it works.
46:19
So maybe in that sense,
46:20
it improves the interest.
46:26
Yeah.
46:27
I'm kind of with you on the pen
46:29
for sure.
46:31
I don't know because I think they made
46:33
some good steps forward,
46:34
but they took a couple of steps back.
46:36
One, they adopted the raw score,
46:38
just like Jamie suggested a couple of
46:41
shows ago.
46:42
I think that's great.
46:44
I think that getting rid of the challenge
46:46
division, that was great.
46:48
I think smacking tour stop one right in
46:50
the middle of the semifinal season again
46:52
was not great.
46:53
Yeah.
46:53
Yeah.
46:54
That's a bad move.
46:55
I think fifty is a bad move.
46:59
I understand the five wild cards,
47:02
but I don't like it.
47:03
Right.
47:03
Like I do get it for Gabby,
47:06
but I truly believe it's all the people
47:08
who said no to you last year and
47:10
you were spurned.
47:12
You're now like coming back.
47:14
Come on, please come back to me, baby.
47:16
And that's what those five wild cards are
47:18
for.
47:20
I don't like that you're inviting
47:21
everybody who made it to Copenhagen just
47:23
because they joined your club and came in
47:27
at the end.
47:27
And now all thirty people get an automatic
47:29
bid to tour stop one.
47:30
Yeah,
47:32
I think you're just you're you're playing
47:34
too much with the how precious those pro
47:38
cards are.
47:39
Yes.
47:39
That's what the story.
47:40
Those have to remain a significant thing
47:44
that you're trying to earn.
47:45
Exclusive.
47:46
Right.
47:47
And every time you add invites and you
47:50
add people to it that did not earn
47:53
the card, you're weakening what it means.
47:58
Yeah.
47:58
So while I think they made a couple
48:00
substantial steps forward,
48:01
I also think they took a couple steps
48:03
back.
48:07
That four-stop one being in the middle of
48:08
semifinals was just dumb.
48:12
Like it's the week after Del Mar.
48:14
Yeah.
48:16
It is the week after Del Mar.
48:20
In Mexico City.
48:22
In between probably another semifinal.
48:26
Copa Sur.
48:28
The following weekend is Copa Sur?
48:30
Same weekend.
48:30
These same dates as Copa Sur.
48:32
Yeah.
48:33
So is it the same weekend as the
48:35
Magic City?
48:37
Magic City.
48:38
I can't remember.
48:40
I looked it up.
48:42
Magic City's around there.
48:43
I think Magic City is the same weekend.
48:46
French Throwdown is the same weekend.
48:50
And then Del Mar was the week before.
48:52
The age group semifinals online are the
48:55
week after.
48:56
Yeah.
48:57
It's just in the middle of a mess.
49:01
Age group semifinal is after?
49:03
The week after, yeah.
49:08
So,
49:08
but the biggest significant change I think
49:10
they made was to the payout.
49:13
Like it is a significant amount compared
49:16
to what has been made in the CrossFit
49:19
game season.
49:20
Yeah.
49:21
Yep.
49:21
These are the tour stop payouts.
49:23
If you win a tour stop,
49:24
it's thirty five grand.
49:28
And you get paid up to five grand
49:30
all the way to fifteenth.
49:31
That's that's great.
49:34
And thirtieth place even gets fifteen
49:36
hundred.
49:38
Also good.
49:38
Yeah.
49:39
Right.
49:40
Because most semifinals,
49:41
if you think about it,
49:42
have prize money for top three.
49:44
Most.
49:45
Some of them have money that goes a
49:47
little bit further down,
49:48
but most is top three only.
49:51
The games is top twenty only.
49:53
I think it stops around the two grand.
49:55
Now, some of these athletes with that,
49:58
the twenty that have the pro card also
49:59
have their trip paid for.
50:02
Yeah.
50:02
Yeah.
50:04
So, I mean, those are,
50:05
that helps for sure.
50:06
Like most athletes that compete come out
50:09
with nothing.
50:09
So to come out with that minimum of
50:11
fifteen hundred for top thirty is decent.
50:14
It's pretty good.
50:15
So only thirty people make it to the
50:17
finals in Copenhagen.
50:21
If you have a pro card,
50:21
you are not guaranteed to make it this
50:23
year like you were last year.
50:25
Good.
50:26
And all thirty get paid that make it
50:29
with the lowest amount being four grand.
50:33
Those are significant payouts.
50:35
Carolyn and I were texting back and forth
50:37
on our group text.
50:38
Like if I'm Carolyn and I have a
50:41
shot at Mexico city just to get a
50:42
payout for the year that could pay for
50:44
your whole season.
50:46
Yup.
50:49
And because of where it's placed,
50:50
some of the top athletes aren't going to
50:51
do it.
50:52
A hundred percent.
50:58
I think it's a smart move for those
51:01
bubble athletes.
51:03
I think Eric Mackey kind of says it
51:05
less elite participation coming leading to
51:07
less interest.
51:09
I think you're going to get a lot
51:10
of participation,
51:11
but it's going to be those bubble athletes
51:13
that aren't guaranteed the games and want
51:16
to get a big payday to fund their
51:18
season.
51:20
And it's worth the risk for this amount
51:22
of money.
51:25
Yeah.
51:25
I think it's going to slowly shift towards
51:27
that semifinal,
51:28
that top semifinal borderline,
51:30
depending on the workout could be games
51:32
athlete.
51:33
semi-final in there, basically an athlete,
51:37
like in my bubble, semi, semi games,
51:41
depending on the day.
51:43
Because like you told us in the chat,
51:45
you didn't get paid for your performance
51:46
at the games.
51:48
Twentieth through or twenty first through
51:50
thirty.
51:50
It doesn't get paid.
51:53
If you can go here and get a
51:54
paycheck to pay for the rest of the
51:56
season, it pays for the competition.
52:00
Because, I mean,
52:00
these comps aren't free to go to.
52:03
Right, that's what I'm saying.
52:04
But at least I don't come out in
52:05
the hole.
52:07
Right,
52:07
but if you go to Mexico City and
52:08
you make eight thousand,
52:10
that's a nice chunk to pay for the
52:12
rest of your season.
52:12
Yeah, that would be different.
52:17
John George,
52:17
is there a Clydesdale group set up for
52:19
the Open?
52:20
There can be.
52:22
We have our hashtag from last year,
52:23
don't we?
52:25
It should be part of your profile.
52:28
Okay.
52:29
Is it Clydesdale Media or just Clydesdale?
52:31
I don't know.
52:35
I will double check and put that in
52:37
the comments after the show,
52:39
in the show comments on YouTube.
52:42
I know it's still in my,
52:43
so I'll open my dashboard and look at
52:45
our hashtag and add it.
52:48
I'm not positive, John.
52:50
Hashtag Sunday Night CrossFit.
52:54
Eric Mackey, unless media pushes it,
52:55
most have made up their mind.
52:56
It's just a poorly ran Friends League.
52:59
I'm telling you money talks.
53:01
And if you're a bubble athlete,
53:02
it doesn't make much money and you can
53:03
go clean up in a couple tour stops.
53:07
And then it's about you trying to do
53:10
a couple and then solidifying your pro
53:12
card and then getting a guaranteed the
53:13
following year.
53:14
Right.
53:14
And then making a name for yourself and
53:16
getting some kind of,
53:17
even if it's a little bit of exposure
53:20
to then and competition experience to then
53:24
compete at the game semifinals the next
53:26
year.
53:30
Uh, Shannon,
53:30
I came out in the hole all the
53:31
time.
53:32
Sucks.
53:33
Yeah.
53:34
Masters athletes really get the wrong end
53:36
of the deal.
53:36
You definitely do it for the love of
53:37
the game.
53:38
Didn't they say they were going to expand
53:40
the masters for WFP?
53:42
That was going to be like a big,
53:43
it was, it was announced this week, uh,
53:46
where they're starting.
53:48
I read that sentence way too fast.
53:49
I, I was curious on some of that.
53:54
Um, but I, yeah, I haven't seen it.
53:56
So, um,
54:05
I don't know.
54:06
I don't think they're doing it at the
54:07
first couple tour stops.
54:09
Well, that's dumb.
54:12
Fergie wants to know if we can get
54:13
a group for the two hundred fifty plus
54:15
big boys.
54:15
I would love to.
54:17
The Clydesdale division.
54:18
Here we come.
54:21
I mean, I have hashtag Clydesdale.
54:25
That's it.
54:26
That's the biggest group.
54:27
So I would stick.
54:28
I would stick with that as our hashtag.
54:31
Clydesdale?
54:32
Yep.
54:33
Hashtag Clydesdale.
54:35
All right.
54:36
So we talked about that.
54:38
We talked about Mayhem.
54:41
And did you guys see the new Mayhem
54:43
team?
54:43
Yes.
54:47
So I let it slide on my show
54:49
today.
54:51
I should have pulled this up.
54:53
I didn't.
54:56
There it is.
55:02
So I'll pull it up for everybody if
55:03
you missed the show today.
55:06
Here is the new Mayhem team.
55:11
And it is Jack Rosema, Taylor Belaz,
55:15
Carolyn Klutz, and Stevie Dellinger.
55:20
So Jack Rosema is going team,
55:22
which was a shock when I saw this
55:23
today.
55:24
Agreed.
55:26
when I talked to Carolyn and had her
55:27
on the show a little bit ago and
55:29
I was chatting with her,
55:30
she told me that she was attempting to
55:32
work with mayhem to put together a team
55:34
after they finished third last year,
55:37
her and Stevie.
55:40
I did not know they were getting Jack
55:41
Rosema.
55:42
Well, I, that was sort of the issue,
55:43
right?
55:44
Was finding two guys, two guys,
55:46
because in, in this team was,
55:49
she told me was to replace the Angelo
55:53
Molly team.
55:57
Yeah.
55:59
And so this is,
56:00
I think they're pretty good.
56:04
My question to you is pencil,
56:07
pen or Sharpie.
56:08
Nope.
56:08
That's not it.
56:10
Let's try this again.
56:11
Nope.
56:11
I put the same one in twice.
56:13
This pencil,
56:14
pen or Sharpie was do what are there?
56:19
The new mayhem teams chances of podium are
56:23
pencil, pen or Sharpie.
56:28
I actually wrote,
56:29
the new GM team will be favored to
56:31
win the CrossFit Games, pencil, pen,
56:33
or Sharpie.
56:35
Right now, I haven't heard of any more,
56:41
but I'll say pen or Sharpie.
56:44
Yeah.
56:44
I'm sure there's some teams in the works,
56:47
but I'll say pen.
56:47
Yeah.
56:49
I think they're podium for sure.
56:52
Trent Olive is Penn.
56:55
Craig is Penn.
56:57
Kenneth DeLapp is Sharpie.
56:58
John George is Penn.
57:00
CrossFat Penn.
57:04
Podium, yes.
57:05
Favored to win, maybe.
57:08
Eric Mackey, Pencil.
57:09
Yeah.
57:10
Podium, Sharpie, win, Penn.
57:13
Totally.
57:15
We just don't know enough about any other
57:16
teams forming yet to definitively say
57:19
this.
57:19
Yeah.
57:21
So here's my thought process.
57:25
Usually the hard people to find are the
57:27
women.
57:31
Taylor and Andrea were awesome.
57:34
And I would put Carolyn and Stevie as
57:36
kind of in that league.
57:38
They have worked together on a team for
57:39
several years and they have done well with
57:42
every team they've been a part of.
57:44
They have never had men on their team
57:46
like these two.
57:48
Taylor Blaz is a high-end semifinal
57:50
athlete.
57:50
Tanner.
57:51
Tanner, I'm sorry.
57:52
Tanner Blaz.
57:54
He's been on the show.
57:55
I can't believe I messed that up.
57:56
Jack Rosema is a two-time games athlete
58:01
and Service Cup champion.
58:05
And it would just be getting Jack and
58:09
Tanner in step with being a team.
58:14
And if you've met Jack,
58:16
he is that guy that would do that.
58:19
He is humble.
58:20
He is not egotistical.
58:22
I think he's going to let the team
58:26
thing happen.
58:27
I don't know Tanner as well.
58:30
I've only met him a couple times,
58:32
but he doesn't seem to me to be
58:33
that guy that's going to let ego get
58:35
in the way.
58:38
So did they all move to Cookville?
58:42
You don't have to anymore.
58:44
Well,
58:44
how are they training together to get
58:47
good?
58:47
I mean, I, I mean,
58:48
I'm not worried about Stevie and Carolyn,
58:51
but to get the boys to, I mean,
58:54
you got to dial in that worm work.
58:58
Yeah.
58:58
I'm sure they're just going to come to
59:00
mayhem and work on it at times.
59:04
Yeah.
59:04
That's not the same as training with your
59:06
teammates day in and day out.
59:10
CrossFit says it feels like when Ohio
59:11
state just gets another random five-star
59:13
quarterback.
59:16
Um, has any other teams been announced?
59:19
Not, I mean,
59:20
there's been a couple that I've seen leak
59:22
out, but nothing like of significance.
59:25
I think they definitely have all the
59:26
pieces to be like a top team this
59:30
year.
59:30
For sure.
59:31
Those two women are extremely fit.
59:34
The two guys are great.
59:37
Like you said,
59:37
I don't think the egos are going to
59:38
come into play here.
59:39
I think this is a very,
59:41
very solid team.
59:44
the only thing i would worry about is
59:45
what is oslo doing yeah and what is
59:49
invictus doing those would be like the
59:55
places i would be looking so similar as
1:00:00
last year yeah uh crossfit with the season
1:00:04
structure could we see another games has
1:00:05
been team pop-up yeah
1:00:13
but that doesn't always mean that it's any
1:00:15
better.
1:00:17
Right.
1:00:18
Right.
1:00:18
That's why I think a team like this,
1:00:20
which has, you know,
1:00:21
the girls have a lot of team experience.
1:00:25
I think that goes a long way when
1:00:27
you have two of the best girls that,
1:00:30
that are going on,
1:00:30
like that are on a team.
1:00:34
So on a tangent of this, Carolyn,
1:00:36
you and Caroline went head to head at
1:00:39
the masters CrossFit games.
1:00:41
She won.
1:00:42
You took second.
1:00:43
If she does this,
1:00:45
the rumor is that Boz said on a
1:00:47
podcast,
1:00:47
we haven't seen it in writing anywhere,
1:00:49
that you can't do both Masters and one
1:00:53
of the elite divisions.
1:00:56
If you go Masters,
1:00:57
would it be disappointing to not go up
1:01:00
against her again?
1:01:02
For sure.
1:01:02
I mean, just like I was disappointed,
1:01:04
let's say Kristen Holta wasn't there last
1:01:07
year or just a few others that could
1:01:09
have gone Masters.
1:01:10
Like you want to go against everyone that
1:01:12
you know is of age so that you
1:01:14
can test yourself and see who's the
1:01:16
fittest in that age group.
1:01:20
But you're, you compete,
1:01:23
you can't control that.
1:01:24
So, you know,
1:01:25
you go up against who you go up
1:01:27
against.
1:01:28
And for me,
1:01:29
I'm just trying to make it there.
1:01:30
So if I make it there,
1:01:32
then the goal will be to win a
1:01:35
different color and not the bronze.
1:01:42
I know you watch Boys Interrupted,
1:01:43
so I'll throw this out to Jamie.
1:01:46
And we're off this question now.
1:01:48
I'll put this up for a second.
1:01:50
Kenneth,
1:01:50
remember the days of the yearly big Mayhem
1:01:52
team announcement?
1:01:55
They made team big.
1:01:57
Yeah.
1:01:59
We have to figure out something with team
1:02:01
to make it bigger and more watchable.
1:02:05
But that's for another show.
1:02:08
On Boys Interrupted,
1:02:09
they asked the trivia question,
1:02:11
how many athletes have won all three
1:02:14
colors of medals at the games?
1:02:18
Or can you name the athletes who have
1:02:20
won all three so they've won a gold,
1:02:23
a silver, and a bronze?
1:02:25
And this was asked on Boys Interrupted to
1:02:26
the other boys by Justin.
1:02:33
I got one right off the bat.
1:02:36
And it's more than you think it is.
1:02:44
Is Annie one of them?
1:02:46
Annie is one.
1:02:47
Yeah.
1:02:53
Is Katrin one of them?
1:02:54
She is.
1:02:55
Okay.
1:02:56
Hmm.
1:03:07
I'm struggling to think of any men that
1:03:09
have done it.
1:03:10
There's two men.
1:03:11
Really?
1:03:12
You're missing another girl.
1:03:17
Oh, Laura.
1:03:18
Laura.
1:03:19
Laura was the easy one for me because
1:03:20
it just happened.
1:03:21
Yeah.
1:03:23
But the two men... Because... Ben Smith?
1:03:29
Yes, Ben Smith is one.
1:03:30
Okay.
1:03:30
And then, I don't know.
1:03:35
Kalipa?
1:03:37
It is Jason Kalipa.
1:03:38
Okay.
1:03:40
Those are the two men that have all
1:03:41
three medals.
1:03:43
And then it's Annie, Katrin, and Laura.
1:03:44
Laura.
1:03:46
You know your history.
1:03:47
Good job.
1:03:49
Thanks.
1:03:51
I thought that was a cool question though.
1:03:52
That is a cool question.
1:03:53
When you think about the runs of gold
1:03:55
medals that we've had in this sport,
1:03:57
it has to limit it down to like
1:03:59
certain areas to like kind of pull it
1:04:02
off.
1:04:03
And because Tia like took the gold for
1:04:06
so many years,
1:04:08
Laura was the only one that squeaked one
1:04:10
out that had even a shot.
1:04:11
Yeah.
1:04:11
Yeah.
1:04:14
And then you had to go like OG
1:04:15
Katrin to get a gold and OG Annie
1:04:20
to get her gold to be able to
1:04:22
pull it off.
1:04:24
And the same with the men.
1:04:25
Matt and Rich took up nine years of
1:04:27
history.
1:04:27
Right.
1:04:28
Gold medals and neither of them did it.
1:04:31
So then who were the others?
1:04:33
And that was cool.
1:04:34
I think they're okay taking, you know,
1:04:35
the four and the five golds instead of
1:04:37
all the colors.
1:04:38
Yeah.
1:04:39
Not a bad way to... Yeah,
1:04:41
my guess is Matt and Rich are crying
1:04:43
that they didn't get the bronze to match
1:04:46
their gold and silvers.
1:04:47
Yeah.
1:04:48
Then you got someone like Pat who,
1:04:50
you know, gets like five medals,
1:04:52
but you can't get the gold one.
1:04:53
Yeah.
1:04:54
Yeah, Brent has a silver and a bronze,
1:04:57
but no gold.
1:04:59
Um...
1:05:00
Yeah,
1:05:01
there's probably a lot with those two.
1:05:03
Yes.
1:05:06
Eric Mackey says, bravo, Jamie.
1:05:07
Thanks, Eric.
1:05:10
So I just thought that was an interesting
1:05:11
question.
1:05:12
It's fun that you got to do it
1:05:13
without knowing the answer.
1:05:14
Yeah.
1:05:17
So, well,
1:05:18
we're going to do a short show tonight.
1:05:19
I know that the National Championship
1:05:20
game's on,
1:05:22
so we don't want to keep you too
1:05:22
long.
1:05:25
I don't know what Eric's saying.
1:05:26
IU for six?
1:05:27
Yes.
1:05:28
But all college sports are ruined from the
1:05:30
portal rules.
1:05:30
I hate the portal rules.
1:05:31
I just do.
1:05:34
I do too.
1:05:35
Jamie,
1:05:36
if you had to guess a new movement
1:05:38
in the open that we've seen within the
1:05:41
space of CrossFit,
1:05:42
but not in the open from Dave's weekend
1:05:45
review, do you have a few guesses?
1:05:47
Well, you named one today already.
1:05:49
Yeah.
1:05:49
I mean,
1:05:49
I feel like it could be that burpee
1:05:51
over rower.
1:05:51
Totally.
1:05:52
Yeah.
1:05:56
I mean, I'd like,
1:05:57
I'd like to say the burpee shuttle,
1:05:59
but I kind of have,
1:06:00
I feel like Dave would not do that.
1:06:02
So I don't think that's really a
1:06:04
possibility.
1:06:06
I know before we went on.
1:06:07
The wall facing handstand pushup hasn't
1:06:08
been in the open.
1:06:10
That's true.
1:06:12
And it could be like a gated,
1:06:13
like as you move up,
1:06:14
you do a wall walk and then you
1:06:15
do a handstand pushup and then you do
1:06:17
wall facing.
1:06:18
Yeah, it could be.
1:06:19
They haven't done the wall facing.
1:06:20
They've done regular strike.
1:06:21
They've done wall walk.
1:06:22
Yeah.
1:06:24
And they're saying this because in Dave's
1:06:26
week in review, he said,
1:06:28
probably to a question,
1:06:30
will we see a new movement in the
1:06:31
open?
1:06:32
And his response was,
1:06:34
there are no new movements,
1:06:35
but there are new movements to the open
1:06:38
and probably.
1:06:43
I actually think that wall facing
1:06:45
handstand pushup is probably a good one.
1:06:48
I was going to go with something out
1:06:49
there that maybe he saw from NorCal that
1:06:52
he liked.
1:06:52
I like those.
1:06:58
I think they got a lot of good
1:06:59
feedback that it was a good movement and
1:07:04
that people enjoyed them.
1:07:06
And I think that that is a possibility.
1:07:10
Okay.
1:07:11
That is my stab in the dark.
1:07:12
Okay.
1:07:12
Yeah, I would like that.
1:07:17
Carolyn did them your thoughts.
1:07:20
I love them because I mean,
1:07:22
I like any type of single leg stuff
1:07:26
in general, whether it's pistols,
1:07:29
stuff like that.
1:07:29
But there was, you know,
1:07:31
a little bit of balance and rhythm that
1:07:34
it took people a little bit time to
1:07:37
get used to it.
1:07:38
So I don't,
1:07:39
I felt like I made my move on
1:07:40
that workout on that movement.
1:07:43
Um,
1:07:44
I liked it.
1:07:45
And I think it's like an easy standard
1:07:47
to, you know,
1:07:47
knee touches the ground versus the depth
1:07:49
of the wall ball,
1:07:50
which we know is not the best.
1:07:53
And depending on the angle of the video,
1:07:54
sometimes it looks often versus knee to
1:07:59
the ground up.
1:08:03
Single arm devil's press.
1:08:04
Yeah.
1:08:05
So I have heard Dave say that devil's
1:08:07
press will never be in the open.
1:08:08
I have too.
1:08:10
And recently,
1:08:12
like within the last few months.
1:08:13
Yeah.
1:08:14
Yeah.
1:08:15
But that's when he turns around and he
1:08:16
does it.
1:08:16
He just programs it.
1:08:19
I think it's like an offense thing.
1:08:23
Because those were invented by street
1:08:24
parking.
1:08:25
Right.
1:08:27
And Miranda went off on her own and
1:08:29
did these devil's press movement.
1:08:32
And Dave just,
1:08:33
I think he has something against them
1:08:36
because of how it was done.
1:08:39
Now there's a relationship again with
1:08:41
Miranda Street Parking and CrossFit that
1:08:44
is back.
1:08:44
So maybe all's forgiven,
1:08:46
but there was a time where that really
1:08:48
upset him.
1:08:49
Yep.
1:08:55
Good question, John George.
1:08:56
Does the lunging wall balls eliminate the
1:08:58
tall man bias?
1:09:03
I think it's the same.
1:09:06
You're still going to stretch up there and
1:09:08
be less of a throw.
1:09:10
Yeah.
1:09:10
But is the lunge harder than the squat
1:09:13
for a tall man?
1:09:15
I would say no.
1:09:17
I mean,
1:09:18
usually the taller athlete prefer lunges.
1:09:20
I know because it's usually for distance,
1:09:21
so it makes it easier for them.
1:09:22
But I don't think so.
1:09:29
Eric Mackey,
1:09:30
feel like you'd bang your knee to the
1:09:31
ground.
1:09:32
Well, don't you do that on lunges too?
1:09:34
Yes.
1:09:34
Yes.
1:09:39
Yes, but bigger steps.
1:09:46
Yeah.
1:09:46
Well, damn.
1:09:51
Okay.
1:09:53
Well, I said that on lunch today,
1:09:56
after the Bears game,
1:09:56
I didn't think I was going to sleep
1:09:57
last night.
1:09:58
I took my third Z,
1:09:59
and I had the longest stretch of sleep
1:10:02
that I've had in maybe over a year.
1:10:04
I slept eight straight hours last night.
1:10:06
Nice.
1:10:08
eight straight hours and i owe it all
1:10:10
to third z i woke up bouncing around
1:10:12
this morning ready to go getting some
1:10:15

1:10:17

your week.
1:10:39
Um,
1:10:39
the schedule this week should be pretty
1:10:41
down the road.
1:10:43
Next week is going to be a little
1:10:44
hairy.
1:10:44
I have my two procedures next week.
1:10:46
Okay.
1:10:47
Um,
1:10:47
so I don't know what that means for
1:10:50
the shows, but probably definitely not.
1:10:54
No,
1:10:54
there will not be a Monday show cause
1:10:55
I'll be under anesthetic at some point
1:10:58
during the morning and have a tube down
1:11:00
my throat.
1:11:02
And so probably don't want to talk.
1:11:03
No.
1:11:03
Okay.
1:11:05
But we'll be back next Sunday night with
1:11:09
Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
1:11:10
Before I go into those,
1:11:11
and I'll give you more details then.
1:11:13
With that,
1:11:14
I hope everybody has a great night.
1:11:16
I'm sad the bear season is over,
1:11:18
but now I can spend more time with
1:11:20
all of you and get into the CrossFit
1:11:22
news much, much more.
1:11:24
With that, guys, have a great night.
