Transcript
- 0:02I know we talk about a lot of
- 0:03CrossFit on this channel,
- 0:04but all I can think about, bearing down.
- 0:19I love the chase and the hunt,
- 0:21and I set the pace when I'm running.
- 0:22I always take what I want,
- 0:24and I always give it one hundred.
- 0:25Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
- 0:27Play the game like it's nothing.
- 0:28I'm always thankful for something.
- 0:30Don't take for granted, stay humble.
- 0:31Now wake up!
- 0:33It's time to look at the enemy.
- 0:35Look in the mirror if he is no
- 0:37friend to me.
- 0:38It's not working out,
- 0:39maybe it's the chemistry.
- 0:41It's time to break up so I can
- 0:42make a better me.
- 0:43Eeeeee, abadabadoo!
- 0:48it's lunch time what is going on everybody
- 0:53welcome to lunch with the Clydesdale my
- 0:55name is Scott that's the cowboy we're here
- 0:58live coming at you on a very brisk
- 1:02and cold northeastern morning here in the
- 1:06states Mr.
- 1:07Louisiana boy down there complaining about
- 1:09the thirties
- 1:12Hey, bro.
- 1:13Everything's relative.
- 1:14It's just like intensity.
- 1:15You know what I'm saying?
- 1:16It went from thirty six to it's now
- 1:18sixty five outside.
- 1:18Yeah.
- 1:19Yeah.
- 1:21Going from my upstairs to my basement for
- 1:23this podcast, it dropped twenty degrees.
- 1:29So, yeah.
- 1:30I found his gut.
- 1:31I'm sending it to you.
- 1:33All right.
- 1:34So I've said in the open,
- 1:36all I can think about is the Bears
- 1:38game this weekend.
- 1:40I was trash talking with my wife,
- 1:41who's a Steelers fan this morning,
- 1:43and I said to her, you know,
- 1:44the Steelers last won a playoff game in
- 1:46two thousand sixteen.
- 1:48You know,
- 1:48when the last time the Bears won a
- 1:49playoff game last week.
- 1:52Last week, baby.
- 1:55last week um lito says do you get
- 1:59do gyms have heating where you guys live
- 2:02um where i live they do have heat
- 2:05um but gym owners are very reluctant to
- 2:07turn it on um until it's really really
- 2:10cold and i'm kind of like i don't
- 2:14like the furnace heat trying to breathe in
- 2:17when i'm working out
- 2:20Yeah, that's fair.
- 2:21It's just dusty.
- 2:22It's, you know,
- 2:24and it's usually in like a big,
- 2:27big warehouse.
- 2:28So it's just, it's not good.
- 2:32But like on a day like today,
- 2:34it will be turned on,
- 2:35but it will not be set very high.
- 2:38You know,
- 2:39like a typical house here is like seventy
- 2:41to seventy two is where it's set kind
- 2:44of during the day.
- 2:45A gym is like sixty to sixty two.
- 2:50I think the thermostat of my house is
- 2:51set to sixty seven, sixty five,
- 2:56somewhere up in that area.
- 2:57Just because during the daytime, dude,
- 2:59like we get no sunshine.
- 3:00My house warms up on all on its
- 3:02own.
- 3:02I don't really need it.
- 3:05And during the wintertime,
- 3:06unless it like I told you earlier,
- 3:07like if it gets that that one time
- 3:09where it's cold for like five days.
- 3:11Jody said, yes, but gym owners are cheap.
- 3:15Andrew Sten,
- 3:16our heat in the gym is super low,
- 3:17just enough so your hands don't stick to
- 3:19the barbells.
- 3:21And then Lito comes back with, same here,
- 3:24but it's never on and it's below zero
- 3:26Celsius.
- 3:27I'm not thriving.
- 3:30Sean says,
- 3:31mine doesn't rough when it's thirty
- 3:32degrees at six a.m.
- 3:39Well, you know,
- 3:40when you live down in the bone temps,
- 3:44thirty degrees is a little cold there,
- 3:47Scott, Corey, probably.
- 3:49I totally massacred the Cajun language.
- 3:53You did, but that's all right.
- 3:54It's bon ton.
- 3:56FYI.
- 3:57You don't pronounce it.
- 3:58Yeah.
- 3:59It's cool.
- 4:04David Reed, we have heat because Ohio.
- 4:06Again, we have heat.
- 4:08But at Polaris,
- 4:09they did not put it on very much.
- 4:10My former gym shred,
- 4:12like it had to be really damn cold
- 4:14for them to turn it on.
- 4:17But that...
- 4:18shred was much larger and i i can
- 4:21imagine the heating bill in that place
- 4:24even at a low temperature was pretty rough
- 4:26i will say this we do have as
- 4:28you know those stand up looks like a
- 4:31lamp post like a lamp but it's a
- 4:34heater it's a propane here we do have
- 4:37one of those in the gym and it
- 4:39will heat up one side because we have
- 4:40two different we have the weight lifts
- 4:41inside we have like the regular gym class
- 4:43side
- 4:45Like last year when it snowed and it
- 4:47was actually cold for a week or so,
- 4:50we had that thing lit up on the
- 4:51other side just to kind of keep,
- 4:53just to get the same thing,
- 4:54to be able to grab a barbell without
- 4:57going, oh my God, like type deal.
- 5:01So yeah.
- 5:03Um,
- 5:03Shanna says I bring hand heaters to my
- 5:06gym in Oregon.
- 5:07Yeah, I can see,
- 5:08I can see Shanna in the gym training
- 5:10and she has the little muff pouch like
- 5:12the NFL quarterbacks do.
- 5:14It just kind of keeps her hands warm
- 5:15until she has to go hit the barbell
- 5:17or the rig.
- 5:19Um, with like,
- 5:21I think Tom Brady said he put like
- 5:22ten or twelve hand warmers in that,
- 5:24in that little muff pouch just to kind
- 5:26of throw in there,
- 5:27get them nice and toasty.
- 5:29Got to keep them flexible at that point.
- 5:32I did see Lito's story.
- 5:33I don't know if it was yesterday or
- 5:35the day before.
- 5:36She was, I don't want to say complaining,
- 5:38but she was making a point to say
- 5:39that
- 5:41it's that cold like it's hard to get
- 5:43yourself motivated to train in the way
- 5:45that like somebody that hurt or somebody
- 5:47like me or somebody like you know high
- 5:49level type because you got a lot of
- 5:50stuff to do and it's cold and if
- 5:53you're not doing stuff whatever your
- 5:55pieces are back to back you got a
- 5:56little break in between where you kind of
- 5:58cool off a little bit it is miserable
- 6:00to get back started it's not fun so
- 6:02i want to share this because i am
- 6:04all about the bears this weekend right
- 6:06And they're playing the Los Angeles Rams
- 6:10this weekend in Chicago.
- 6:11In Chicago.
- 6:12Right?
- 6:14Yeah.
- 6:15This was posted today welcoming...
- 6:17Not today.
- 6:18It was actually posted yesterday.
- 6:20Welcoming the Rams to Chicago on
- 6:23Instagram.
- 6:23So I wanted to show this.
- 6:27So let me start.
- 6:27Let me get the...
- 6:29So you can hear the wind.
- 6:51That's why you fight for home field
- 6:52advantage.
- 6:54Nope, don't like that.
- 6:59Don't like that at all.
- 7:01The wind whipping off the lake is going
- 7:03to be brutal this weekend.
- 7:06Brutal.
- 7:11To throw a football in that is going
- 7:13to be insanity.
- 7:16Insanity.
- 7:18Just trying to hold on to it, dude.
- 7:20Yeah.
- 7:21Because everybody's going to have gloves
- 7:22at that point, right?
- 7:23But like how many gloves do you have
- 7:25to try to keep your hands somewhat warm?
- 7:27Like being on the sidelines,
- 7:29I'd rather be on the field.
- 7:30Like can I play both ways today?
- 7:32Because I don't want to stop moving while
- 7:34I'm out here.
- 7:36Bart Scott on Get Up this morning said
- 7:38that the people that have the most trouble
- 7:39in the cold are the people who have
- 7:41junior whopper hands.
- 7:42The hands only big enough to get around
- 7:44a junior whopper, right?
- 7:47That's me.
- 7:53Oh, yeah.
- 7:53Can you imagine?
- 7:54My hubs is an LA Rams fan going
- 7:55to be tense.
- 7:57And you're from Chicago, right, Jody?
- 7:58I'm pretty sure she is.
- 8:02Yeah.
- 8:03Um, uh, David Reed, Scott CrossFit one,
- 8:08eight, four is a large gym.
- 8:09They do an amazing job with the facility.
- 8:11Yeah.
- 8:11I'm,
- 8:12I wasn't dogging like shred CrossFit for
- 8:14their, they would do an amazing job.
- 8:16Keep with the upkeep of the facility.
- 8:18They just weren't big fans of turning on
- 8:20the heat.
- 8:21That's all.
- 8:24Train Olive,
- 8:24fifty seven in Florida and I'm freezing.
- 8:27Yeah, I lived in Florida for four years.
- 8:30It did not take long for my blood
- 8:32to thin.
- 8:32It didn't like year one,
- 8:37I was swimming in the Gulf in January.
- 8:40Year two, I wouldn't even dip my toe.
- 8:43Yeah, percent.
- 8:44I just was kind of cold.
- 8:45I'm not.
- 8:45Yeah, I get in there.
- 8:50So it's going to be fun with all
- 8:51the weather this weekend.
- 8:54I'm sure we'll toughen up and get through
- 8:55it all.
- 8:57But, yeah.
- 8:59The good news is that it doesn't last
- 9:01forever.
- 9:02It doesn't.
- 9:05But one last thing on the Bears.
- 9:06They do play Sunday night.
- 9:08That is a conflict with our Sunday night
- 9:10CrossFit show.
- 9:12And I'm sorry,
- 9:13I am not doing a show during the
- 9:15Bears game.
- 9:15This does not happen very often in my
- 9:17life.
- 9:18So I am going to be watching the
- 9:20game.
- 9:21My guess is we'll probably do a show
- 9:22Monday night.
- 9:25I think that's where we're leaning.
- 9:26I've got to really talk to Carolyn and
- 9:28Jamie.
- 9:28I've kind of been avoiding that because I
- 9:31had an all-day meeting yesterday.
- 9:34That ended at three forty five last night.
- 9:39Eight thirty a.m.
- 9:39to three forty five.
- 9:42There's nothing there's nothing that
- 9:45that's a seminar, that's not a meeting.
- 9:48Well,
- 9:48how do you expect people to be attentive
- 9:51six hours into a meeting?
- 9:55And actually be productive,
- 9:56it's just dumb.
- 9:58i'm pretty focused when i do stuff and
- 10:00like you got about forty five minutes
- 10:02before i need to take a break and
- 10:04do something completely different like
- 10:05i'll get up go walk outside like i
- 10:09just can't dude like i've had phone
- 10:11conversations with people going over all
- 10:13of their coverages and it lasts an hour
- 10:16and a half because they're just so far
- 10:18off into the weeds asking the most
- 10:19ridiculous questions and i'm just sitting
- 10:21there
- 10:23biting my tongue and just kind of, yeah,
- 10:25okay.
- 10:26And just continue answering the same
- 10:28question X six different ways.
- 10:30And I just can't fathom having Jennifer's
- 10:32had, my wife's had meetings like that,
- 10:33that started in the morning and she's
- 10:34like, no,
- 10:34we're going to be in a meeting until
- 10:35two, three o'clock this afternoon.
- 10:37And I was like, how there's no way.
- 10:41Like I've had all staffs where we have
- 10:42like icebreakers and get in, you know,
- 10:45brainstorming sessions and,
- 10:47and they kind of bounce around a little
- 10:49bit.
- 10:50That's fine.
- 10:51Like, I get that.
- 10:52This was a detailed meeting about a new
- 10:57system and all the details that had to
- 11:00be sent back and forth between two
- 11:01different systems.
- 11:04Yeah, no, thank you.
- 11:12Scott, we understand.
- 11:13It's great, though,
- 11:13that you have fallen into this daily
- 11:15lunchtime routine.
- 11:16Your show marks the end of my YouTube
- 11:18day.
- 11:18I love it.
- 11:18Cool.
- 11:21And we're so happy to have you.
- 11:23Yeah, I need this lunch show now.
- 11:25Like,
- 11:25I need this as the break in my
- 11:27day to get away from everything work.
- 11:33So, yeah.
- 11:35So I want to dive into a little
- 11:36bit of announcements that came in in the
- 11:38last twenty four hours.
- 11:39And that is the first one is the
- 11:41WFP has announced their payouts for the
- 11:44twenty six season.
- 11:45So I'm going to pull that up real
- 11:47quick.
- 11:51So here are the tour stop payouts first
- 11:55through thirtieth.
- 11:56Now, remember,
- 11:57they're bringing fifty athletes to the to
- 11:59the game.
- 12:00And so they pay out thirty of the
- 12:03fifty.
- 12:04So basically,
- 12:05you have to finish in the top three
- 12:06fifths and you'll get some cash to at
- 12:11least offset your your expenses.
- 12:13Right.
- 12:14But these upper these upper payouts are
- 12:16actually pretty damn good.
- 12:18It's pretty decent.
- 12:19Yep.
- 12:21Thirty five grand to win.
- 12:24Thirty, then twenty, fifteen, twelve, ten.
- 12:27So top six, you're making ten grand.
- 12:31And even like,
- 12:32you know what you make in the open
- 12:33or the semifinal, the nine,
- 12:35eight and seven and six and five are
- 12:37pretty good, too.
- 12:39So you finish top fifteen.
- 12:41You're getting about the same payout as
- 12:42most semifinal events.
- 12:46So I was.
- 12:48What's that?
- 12:49Said not a bad payday.
- 12:52So I was talking to Carolyn yesterday,
- 12:53you know, if I'm Carolyn Prevo,
- 12:57I try to get to Mexico City.
- 13:01Because if you look at the schedule,
- 13:04which is complete insanity,
- 13:05the week before tour stop one,
- 13:08you have Del Mar.
- 13:12um and the crash crescendo which it
- 13:15probably wouldn't affect it much the same
- 13:17weekend as tour stop one you have copasaur
- 13:21and you have the far east throwdown the
- 13:24week after you have the age group online
- 13:27semis and the french throwdown so you have
- 13:31a major european competition you have a
- 13:33major u.s competition you have the far
- 13:36east throwdown
- 13:38You have the major Latin American
- 13:41semifinal.
- 13:44You're probably taking a bunch of your
- 13:46competition out of the mix.
- 13:49If you just want to go make a
- 13:50payday and you're a games athlete like
- 13:54Carolyn Prevost,
- 13:56and we saw who they ended up getting
- 13:59into the finals in Copenhagen,
- 14:01we're not at the level of a Carolyn
- 14:03Prevost.
- 14:04No.
- 14:05Go strike when the iron's hot and make
- 14:09a payday and then go on with the
- 14:11rest of your season.
- 14:16Thoughts?
- 14:18Yeah, no, I agree, dude.
- 14:19I agree.
- 14:21I mean...
- 14:25I don't know if it was strategic in
- 14:27that way.
- 14:28I don't feel like it was.
- 14:29I feel like they just kind of picked
- 14:30a date at random trying to space it
- 14:32out evenly or whatnot, but...
- 14:34With all the other stuff that's happening,
- 14:36so many things falling off.
- 14:39Like you said,
- 14:40people are just going to be out.
- 14:41There's only so many times you can compete
- 14:42in a row or in a month even
- 14:47and be able to maintain that level of
- 14:48intensity.
- 14:50Maybe your body can,
- 14:51but from a mental standpoint,
- 14:55you can't just keep putting out and keep
- 14:56putting out and keep putting out.
- 14:58So yeah, dude, go make some money.
- 14:59And like you said, that's decent money.
- 15:03just roll over there even if you're you
- 15:06know you you don't have sponsors paying
- 15:08for your travel or something along those
- 15:09lines where you can just pocket the money
- 15:12if nothing else you get some more
- 15:13competition experience against high level
- 15:14athletes and if you finish you know
- 15:18somewhere inside that top twenty at least
- 15:19you got your travel and your uh your
- 15:21accommodations paid for at that point yeah
- 15:24top twenty what top fifteen you're five
- 15:26grand yeah that's pretty sweet five grand
- 15:29or up and
- 15:31Depending on the workouts, I mean,
- 15:33someone like Carolyn could compete pretty
- 15:35well.
- 15:35And he decides to go and who decides
- 15:38not to go.
- 15:39And I'm just using her as an example.
- 15:43It could be anybody in that range.
- 15:45Because she finished between twenty and
- 15:48thirty at the games,
- 15:50made zero dollars at the games.
- 15:54And there are ten other people that were
- 15:56at the games that finished in that twenty
- 15:58to thirty range.
- 15:59That's a huge payday for them.
- 16:01If they can get their qualification for
- 16:04the game season or the games at a
- 16:08different time in the year,
- 16:10go make some cash.
- 16:13I would be curious to know what the
- 16:14payout is going to look like after taxes
- 16:17are taken out,
- 16:18and especially with them competing in
- 16:20Mexico City,
- 16:22how much the Mexican government is going
- 16:24to want to take out of that.
- 16:26Yeah, that's interesting.
- 16:27I don't know.
- 16:29I don't know any of that.
- 16:34Yeah,
- 16:34they were asking about the payouts after
- 16:39Copenhagen last year and talking about how
- 16:42much that government had took out of them
- 16:45and whatnot.
- 16:48It was significant.
- 16:49It was significant.
- 16:50And then by the time you get that
- 16:51taxes taken out and then regular income
- 16:54taxes taken out from here, right,
- 16:56on winnings, whatever that looks like,
- 16:58it's a fairly substantial amount.
- 17:00And I understand that's part of the deal,
- 17:02right?
- 17:03I'm not saying it's good or bad.
- 17:05I'm just curious to know what it would
- 17:07be.
- 17:07Yeah.
- 17:08Yeah.
- 17:10Yeah, I don't know.
- 17:12It's still like an interesting – if you
- 17:14don't make any money during the season and
- 17:16you have a legit shot to make some.
- 17:18Yeah.
- 17:19Oh, no, a hundred percent.
- 17:22I'm just curious of what it looks like
- 17:23after it's done.
- 17:24That's just where my head goes.
- 17:26I do the same thing whenever the Powerball
- 17:28comes up and it's like how much money
- 17:29would you actually get from it by the
- 17:31time it's all said and done if you
- 17:33were lucky enough to win.
- 17:36Lito asks,
- 17:37have they announced the pro cards for next
- 17:38season yet?
- 17:39Well,
- 17:40the top-twenty finishers at Copenhagen got
- 17:42the pro cards.
- 17:43So it's not like an announcement.
- 17:45It is what it is.
- 17:47Now,
- 17:47whether all-twenty accept the pro card,
- 17:50we don't know.
- 17:52But those are the twenty that got the
- 17:56pro card.
- 17:59Are they paying in pesos?
- 18:00I have no idea.
- 18:02Yeah.
- 18:05One dollar equals seventeen point six
- 18:07seven Mexican pesos.
- 18:09Wow.
- 18:15Mark Phillips,
- 18:16I hope CrossFit HQ isn't too proud to
- 18:17take some of the good things WFP
- 18:20implements and incorporate them to improve
- 18:21their own product.
- 18:23That really holds a lot of.
- 18:28historically other events that compete
- 18:31against sports in other sports, right?
- 18:35Like the USFL to the NFL or whatever
- 18:39XFL to the NFL XFL was so innovative
- 18:42that the NFL adopted like a bunch of
- 18:45their rules.
- 18:47And so I hope the CrossFit does the
- 18:49same thing, right?
- 18:50And some of their technology,
- 18:52like the whole reason the cameras that are
- 18:54above the field,
- 18:55that was directly from the XFL,
- 18:58the ones that are on the cables and
- 18:59whatnot.
- 19:01They looked at what they were doing.
- 19:03They looked at what they were doing and
- 19:04said, holy smokes, that's cool.
- 19:09Let's go ahead and do that.
- 19:10Yeah.
- 19:14Ortega says Mexican holds fifteen to
- 19:15twenty five percent from a thousand to a
- 19:18million.
- 19:21That's a decent chunk.
- 19:23That is significant.
- 19:24And then I am certain that the IRS
- 19:30is not going to let that slide or
- 19:31let that be it.
- 19:33Like, there's no way.
- 19:35Yeah.
- 19:36Yeah,
- 19:36my nephew worked six months in Toronto for
- 19:39a company here in Columbus.
- 19:41And the taxes he had to pay to
- 19:43Canada and then again to the U.S.
- 19:45when he got here made it almost like
- 19:48not worth going up there for that job.
- 19:50Yeah.
- 19:53Joseph says that's a sick sweater, Scott.
- 19:55It is.
- 19:55It's a nice Penn State hockey jersey.
- 19:59One of my favorite pieces of clothing.
- 20:02And it's warm.
- 20:03It's warm in this basement when I'm
- 20:04dropping twenty degrees.
- 20:08So they're upstairs to downstairs.
- 20:10Yeah.
- 20:13Also,
- 20:13the altitude at the first stop is over
- 20:16five thousand feet.
- 20:17Yeah,
- 20:17we talked about that a little bit
- 20:18yesterday,
- 20:20that that's a whole different animal in
- 20:21training and the cardio is going to be
- 20:25very, very hard.
- 20:27You wonder like.
- 20:29I heard Dallin talking about training and
- 20:31altitude in Utah and like,
- 20:33would that help?
- 20:34And he was basically saying like,
- 20:36it's half of Colorado.
- 20:38Like, so it's not really the,
- 20:40the significant impact that like a Denver
- 20:44or a Mexico city is.
- 20:45Yeah.
- 20:46And so I've never been I mean,
- 20:50the Appalachian Mountains are not tall
- 20:52enough to give me altitude where I grew
- 20:55up.
- 20:56So I don't know if it would.
- 20:59I don't know what.
- 21:01And Jonathan says, yeah,
- 21:02I'd look out for altitude sickness.
- 21:03And the sixty eight Olympics there.
- 21:11In Mexico City,
- 21:12sixty eight or seventy seventy two is
- 21:14Munich.
- 21:14Sixty eight was Mexico City.
- 21:17I think that people had to get acclimated.
- 21:20It was a thing that they had to
- 21:22work on.
- 21:23And that's another deterrent for the top
- 21:25athletes.
- 21:26Do you want to because like when an
- 21:30NFL team goes and plays in Denver and
- 21:32they their record the week after is is
- 21:35very low.
- 21:37Because going into the altitude,
- 21:38playing in the altitude,
- 21:39and then recovering from it is very hard.
- 21:42It's a whole thing.
- 21:43Right.
- 21:43So do you want to go to Mexico
- 21:45City and then have to try to recover
- 21:47from that and bounce back for a semifinal
- 21:50here in the States?
- 21:53Denver is five thousand two hundred and
- 21:55eighty feet.
- 21:58Let's see.
- 21:59That's why it's called mile high.
- 22:01This is.
- 22:01Let's see.
- 22:05Utah's average elevation is around sixty
- 22:08one hundred feet above sea level.
- 22:10Yeah, but where I guess where Dallin is,
- 22:12it's about half.
- 22:13It's probably not.
- 22:14Yeah.
- 22:15Yeah.
- 22:16Where's he at?
- 22:18Is he in Salt Lake?
- 22:20I really don't know.
- 22:24I wonder when somebody inevitably
- 22:25declines.
- 22:28Where are they going to backfill from
- 22:30another invite qualifier next person from
- 22:32Copenhagen next person from Copenhagen,
- 22:34I believe they have already announced
- 22:36that.
- 22:41Or take us as for deployment,
- 22:43we had to get acclimated in Colorado for
- 22:44four weeks and train hard in the altitude.
- 22:50And I think that's why the Olympic
- 22:51training center is in, in Colorado,
- 22:53correct?
- 22:54Like training.
- 22:56So, cause you can,
- 22:57you can then train there and leave it
- 22:59and be okay.
- 23:00But without, without being any,
- 23:04in any way acclimated to it,
- 23:05it's going to affect your performance.
- 23:07Yeah.
- 23:08Period.
- 23:11But anyway, nice payouts.
- 23:14We dog WFP enough,
- 23:17but those payouts are really substantial
- 23:19and could mean a lot for an athlete
- 23:21trying to support themselves through a
- 23:23season.
- 23:24And the finals is more.
- 23:28The finals was, I think,
- 23:29like a hundred grand for first place.
- 23:31It is.
- 23:32But that's end of season.
- 23:34It's not the final tour stop.
- 23:36It is your final standings at the end
- 23:38of the season.
- 23:40It starts at a hundred grand and tenth
- 23:42place is fifteen grand.
- 23:46Which is still a good deal.
- 23:47Yeah.
- 23:48And they pay out again top thirty,
- 23:50but only thirty qualify for the finals.
- 23:52Yeah.
- 23:53So if you make it to the finals,
- 23:54you're getting something.
- 23:56Yeah.
- 23:59That's good money specifically for decent
- 24:01semifinals.
- 24:02It truly is.
- 24:04Yeah, absolutely.
- 24:04Good on them.
- 24:06The Schmier campaign continues.
- 24:08It's not a Schmier Friday.
- 24:12The Schmier campaign continues.
- 24:16Yeah, I think, I mean,
- 24:18you can't debate what they're trying to do
- 24:20with the money and trying to support
- 24:22athletes.
- 24:23We've documented enough what we can blame
- 24:26them for.
- 24:27Correct.
- 24:29In the previous days this week.
- 24:32Yeah.
- 24:33And again, not to beat a dead horse,
- 24:35but they're trying.
- 24:38I think they have the best of intentions.
- 24:40I just think that sometimes their
- 24:43execution is not up to what their
- 24:44intentions are.
- 24:48I would argue that their self-assessment
- 24:50is a little bit blinded.
- 24:53I would agree with that assessment.
- 24:55I would agree with that assessment.
- 24:57Anyway, moving along.
- 24:59So what else do we got today?
- 25:02So let's go to this first.
- 25:05Did you see the Sarah Sigmundsdottir video
- 25:07this week?
- 25:08Oh, no.
- 25:09I didn't know there was a Sarah
- 25:10Sigmundsdottir video this week.
- 25:12So she's talking about how she had some
- 25:15stuff done.
- 25:17It didn't work as well as planned with
- 25:20some stem cells.
- 25:22And she's now coming to the States.
- 25:25The whole video is about,
- 25:27do I go to the States or do
- 25:28I go back to Dubai?
- 25:30And there's this like rehab guy in Arizona
- 25:33that's working with someone who has a
- 25:35similar injury to what she has and he's
- 25:38seen great results.
- 25:39And so she, it's,
- 25:41Basically,
- 25:41her coming to Arizona and going through an
- 25:44assessment with this guy and he telling
- 25:47her,
- 25:47these are the things you need to do
- 25:49to make this work better for you.
- 25:52And all that's fine.
- 25:56And I actually found the video not great
- 25:59content for Sarah.
- 26:01And that's odd for her because I am
- 26:02a huge Sarah fan.
- 26:05But with that being said,
- 26:07I'm kind of over the comebacks.
- 26:13It's been a lot.
- 26:15And I think she's got a new coach
- 26:17again.
- 26:24And so I'm just over all of that.
- 26:29So I'm watching CJ and Claire this
- 26:31morning.
- 26:33And CJ's like,
- 26:34I think she's becoming too Bethany.
- 26:36And I was like, wait, whoa.
- 26:40Too Bethany.
- 26:41Like,
- 26:41those are two of my favorite athletes.
- 26:43Yeah.
- 26:45And he was saying that Bethany, like,
- 26:49is more delusional about her back injury
- 26:51than Sarah is about her knee injury.
- 26:54And at least Sarah knows what is...
- 26:58what her body that she's willing to just
- 27:01go for it and just see if her
- 27:02body holds up.
- 27:04I would say the opposite.
- 27:05I'm,
- 27:05I think it's smarter for Bethany to know
- 27:08she has a back injury to work through
- 27:10it and around it.
- 27:12And if you,
- 27:12if she can make it to the event,
- 27:14she performs at such a high level,
- 27:17like blows us all away and surprises us.
- 27:21I just was shocked at his take on
- 27:23that.
- 27:24Um,
- 27:25And I was curious to know what other
- 27:26people thought about the comparison
- 27:29between Sarah and...
- 27:31And Bethany.
- 27:33And I love them both.
- 27:34They're both great human beings.
- 27:37Sarah is, again,
- 27:38one of my favorites of all time.
- 27:40It goes back to volunteering.
- 27:42She was amazing in the back with the
- 27:44volunteers and everybody there.
- 27:47Bethany has always been great to this
- 27:49show.
- 27:50She comes on a ton of times.
- 27:53She always says hi at events and does
- 27:55interviews with us.
- 27:58But I'm just curious.
- 28:06Kate McGee says that Sarah's working with
- 28:09Kyle Ruth at TTT.
- 28:10She previously worked with both Max and
- 28:13Perrin there.
- 28:14Correct.
- 28:14But she also worked with Justin Cutler.
- 28:17She's also worked.
- 28:18She was with Cutler until that was her
- 28:22last coach before Kyle.
- 28:24Yeah.
- 28:26She's also been with Mayhem.
- 28:27She's also been with people in Europe.
- 28:32Just name somebody.
- 28:34Right.
- 28:34She bounces around so, so much.
- 28:39And then I thought about Bethany and
- 28:40Bethany's kind of done the same thing.
- 28:42She has bounced from coach to coach to
- 28:43coach.
- 28:45The difference is she's married to a,
- 28:47a trainer for the LA Lakers.
- 28:50And he does a lot with her.
- 28:52And I think that he's truly her main
- 28:54coach.
- 28:55And she sometimes brings in a CrossFit
- 28:57coach to like assist,
- 28:59but
- 29:01I don't know.
- 29:02It just was a weird comment.
- 29:05Larry Young needs to fix her conditioning
- 29:07along with that knee.
- 29:08And Jonathan says,
- 29:09can't condition a bad knee, Larry.
- 29:12it's uh it's super hard to train and
- 29:15do conditioning work if you have a bad
- 29:16knee like you're limited to a couple of
- 29:20machines really and truly like you don't
- 29:22want to run on a bad knee that's
- 29:23going to make it worse you probably want
- 29:25to bike on a bad knee maybe you
- 29:28can maybe you can't probably see two bike
- 29:30i would say probably more so than uh
- 29:33an echo and that's really it depends on
- 29:35what deflection looks like and what's it
- 29:40feel like whenever you're moving
- 29:43So, yeah, no, it's got a solid point.
- 29:47Lito says,
- 29:47I think CJ may be referring to Bethany
- 29:49doing red light therapy and things like
- 29:51that that CJ thinks are bogus.
- 29:54The way the comment was said,
- 29:55I think it is her mental attitude toward
- 29:57the injury is what his big focus was.
- 30:00Yeah.
- 30:01I'm not trying to speak for CJ.
- 30:04I respect him and his opinion.
- 30:06Absolutely.
- 30:07I would say this, dude, like,
- 30:10every time i hear somebody say some stuff
- 30:12like that i try to put myself in
- 30:14the in the athlete shoes right and so
- 30:17if i'm bethany and i know what i
- 30:20am capable of when i am healthy and
- 30:23i also know that my back is kind
- 30:24of jacked up so i'm going to avoid
- 30:26the things that i know are going to
- 30:28make it worse i'm going to focus on
- 30:30the things that are i can kind of
- 30:32work around it and like you said if
- 30:34that means that i can get to a
- 30:35high level event
- 30:37and then come out and perform somewhat
- 30:40close to what I'm probably actually
- 30:42capable of, then yeah,
- 30:44maybe if that makes me delusional,
- 30:46then okay, call me delusional,
- 30:48that's fine.
- 30:50Sarah has been trying to recreate Sarah,
- 30:54the Sarah that we know for the last
- 30:56ten years, like since twenty sixteen.
- 30:58Right.
- 30:59And God bless her.
- 31:00But like, it's one thing after another,
- 31:02after another, after another.
- 31:04And she just cannot seem to get right.
- 31:07And I don't think and again,
- 31:09I love Sarah as well.
- 31:10Like,
- 31:10she just seems like a really sweet person.
- 31:12She's always I never had heard anybody
- 31:17have a bad interaction with her.
- 31:18Right.
- 31:20Um, having said that though, like, well,
- 31:23well, maybe I'll,
- 31:24I'll move to this person because maybe
- 31:25they can help me or I'll move to
- 31:26this person because maybe they can help
- 31:28me.
- 31:28I can move to this person.
- 31:29It's almost like you're avoiding the
- 31:31actual issue of what's actually wrong with
- 31:33you instead of doing that.
- 31:35And if she's actually.
- 31:39working on like okay i'm gonna try this
- 31:40stem cell stuff to get my knee right
- 31:42so that i can maybe stage one more
- 31:44comeback whatever that it whatever that
- 31:46ends up looking like in which god bless
- 31:48her she's gonna try how old is she
- 31:50now because she has been around since like
- 31:52what twenty thirteen twenty fourteen and
- 31:57it's now twenty twenty six uh yeah she's
- 32:01gotta be she's like katrin sage right
- 32:04Yeah, she's got to be thirty plus tired.
- 32:08She dude.
- 32:10Like her glory days were fifteen,
- 32:12sixteen when she podiumed.
- 32:14Exactly.
- 32:15And it has been a fight to get
- 32:16back there ever since.
- 32:18She had that injury at Waterpalooza and
- 32:19she has not been the same since.
- 32:21Yeah.
- 32:22And love her to death.
- 32:24And if she if she makes it to
- 32:26a semifinal,
- 32:28I will be tuned in watching her every
- 32:30single time she takes the floor because
- 32:32it'll be a door down.
- 32:34And it'll be entertaining.
- 32:36And it'll be a story.
- 32:39But with the field being what it is,
- 32:41especially the women's field,
- 32:42this year in particular,
- 32:44with Tia being out of the picture because
- 32:47she's pregnant, it is wide-ass open.
- 32:50And there are a handful of women,
- 32:52a large handful of women,
- 32:54that could end up on top of it.
- 32:57And that's a real hard field to try
- 32:58to insert yourself into with the history
- 33:02that she has.
- 33:04Sarah is a U S thirty-three.
- 33:07She's an Iceland.
- 33:08Thirty-four.
- 33:09Roger.
- 33:11Just kidding.
- 33:12She is thirty-three.
- 33:15You say wide open field,
- 33:16but Sarah's not a top end contender
- 33:18anymore.
- 33:19Like games would be significant.
- 33:23And that's what I'm getting at.
- 33:26I think the field is wider at the
- 33:29trying to qualify point of the season.
- 33:33You know,
- 33:33you have like the Miley Wades and the
- 33:35Reese Littlewoods and all these people
- 33:36coming up right there at the beginning of
- 33:39that funnel that she'd have to get past
- 33:42to qualify.
- 33:43That's what I meant.
- 33:45There's a lot of them.
- 33:46There's a handful that could win,
- 33:48and there's a lot that are just trying
- 33:50to make it and have a good legitimate
- 33:52shot.
- 33:53That haven't been battling this stuff for
- 33:55ten years and trying to make it back.
- 33:58So it would be an amazing story and
- 34:01God bless her if she makes it,
- 34:02but man.
- 34:05Uh, Lito says, uh,
- 34:07I watched at the African event and to
- 34:09be frank, other than the running event,
- 34:11she was decent and really fun to watch,
- 34:13but it was obvious be different in a
- 34:15different field completely.
- 34:17She actually dominated that event,
- 34:19but those two women,
- 34:21there was not enough competition with the
- 34:23other two women and her to,
- 34:25to give her any middling.
- 34:27So the one running event cost her the
- 34:29entire thing.
- 34:31There weren't enough people to get in the
- 34:32way of the other folks for her to
- 34:34be able to be strong as she is,
- 34:36as strong as the stuff that she's strong
- 34:38at, enough to overcome the run.
- 34:41She needed a lot of help.
- 34:42Where Bethany,
- 34:43every time she makes it to semis,
- 34:45she qualifies for the games.
- 34:47She just has to get her body there.
- 34:50Her problem is getting there.
- 34:53Yeah.
- 34:54Um, so anyway, I,
- 34:57that's enough about that.
- 34:58It's, it's a, it's a very narrative video.
- 35:01Like she sits on a bike talking most
- 35:03of the video.
- 35:05And then there's a small portion where
- 35:07they show the assessment that gets done
- 35:09with this rehab guy.
- 35:11Um, and that part was really interesting.
- 35:14Um,
- 35:16One of my best friends has did stem
- 35:18cells last year in his shoulder and he
- 35:21just got something in his knee and heard
- 35:24nothing but great things about it.
- 35:25He is progressing along nicely,
- 35:28but it is a long process.
- 35:32way longer than either he or i thought
- 35:34it was going to be so kudos for
- 35:37her to like getting it fixed and whatnot
- 35:40but the odds of her getting it fixed
- 35:43being and still trying to like make this
- 35:46come back and make it back to the
- 35:47games and whatnot the longer it gets
- 35:51thrown out the less opportunity she's
- 35:53going to have unless she's going to wait
- 35:54two years and try to go as a
- 35:55master yeah um
- 36:02If people don't remember, like,
- 36:03Bethany broke her back in gymnastics as a
- 36:06teenager.
- 36:08Like, what she's gone through is not easy.
- 36:15So, I applaud her,
- 36:16and every time she shows up at an
- 36:18event, she just kicks ass.
- 36:20It is crazy.
- 36:22It's fun to watch.
- 36:30Yeah.
- 36:30Okay, so...
- 36:32Lito says Lucy Campbell and Gabby both at
- 36:35mayhem though.
- 36:35Can't wait.
- 36:36So I'm,
- 36:37I pulled up the confirmed attendees at
- 36:40mayhem.
- 36:41Um,
- 36:41I'm going to pull it up on the
- 36:42screen.
- 36:44This was not on,
- 36:45on what I was going to do,
- 36:46but it's a great thing to show.
- 36:49So here are the confirmed athletes.
- 36:53We have Lucy Campbell, Roman, Gabby,
- 36:56Austin, Jason Hopper, Emily Rolfe,
- 36:59and Colton Mertens.
- 37:00Hell yeah.
- 37:04Um,
- 37:04so that's a pretty good lineup already at
- 37:06mayhem.
- 37:07I like it, dude.
- 37:08I like it a lot.
- 37:10I like it a lot so far.
- 37:11So good.
- 37:13And we pointed out with Holly's data on
- 37:18Sunday night that if they would not have
- 37:21allowed non-eligible members,
- 37:26non-eligible athletes to compete for the
- 37:29CrossFit Games,
- 37:31they allowed like Guy and Sasha to
- 37:36compete.
- 37:37Emily would have won Mayhem last year
- 37:39instead of Fee.
- 37:44I think it's top three.
- 37:45People are asking how many people go.
- 37:48I believe it is top three for Mayhem.
- 37:50I want to say that's correct.
- 37:51Yeah.
- 37:53It was top two last year,
- 37:55but I think they got one more spot.
- 37:57And with this lineup,
- 37:58they deserve one more spot.
- 38:00Let's be honest.
- 38:01And this is just the first couple that
- 38:03have trickled in.
- 38:06It's going to be a bit of a
- 38:07lawsuit.
- 38:08The Gabby thing is going to be fun
- 38:09to watch.
- 38:11There's a lot of people that are saying
- 38:12she's going to blow it out of the
- 38:14water.
- 38:16I am not one of those people.
- 38:17I know that everybody hates me for that.
- 38:23But Achilles tears take a long time to
- 38:25recover from.
- 38:26And she did it twice.
- 38:29Yeah.
- 38:31She did it twice.
- 38:32Ask Bill Leahy.
- 38:34Right.
- 38:34I'm not, and I'm not, I like Gabby.
- 38:36I think she's going to be great again.
- 38:39It just takes some time.
- 38:42And to have high expectations for this
- 38:44season.
- 38:46I think she's going to be great again.
- 38:48And I want to see her be great
- 38:50again.
- 38:50Like truly, truly, truly.
- 38:52But it was,
- 38:55she tore the same Achilles twice.
- 38:57Within what?
- 38:59Months.
- 39:00Right?
- 39:01When she was rehabbing it to her again.
- 39:04That is going to be insanely difficult.
- 39:07Not to just come back to you,
- 39:08but come back and be competitive all at
- 39:11the same time.
- 39:12So, good on her.
- 39:14I can't wait.
- 39:15I am curious to see how she's going
- 39:16to look at me.
- 39:18That's going to be fun.
- 39:20Ortega is on month ten post-op.
- 39:22Just started running one mile twice a
- 39:24week.
- 39:25Well, I will say that she probably has...
- 39:29better genes and is younger than you,
- 39:31Ortega.
- 39:34But it's a good time stamp for us
- 39:37to know that it is not an easy
- 39:39recovery.
- 39:45Shay says, regardless of her fitness,
- 39:47excited just to see her get back on
- 39:48the call floor.
- 39:49I'm excited to see where she's at.
- 39:52I am not putting high expectations on her
- 39:54season,
- 39:55but I do want to see where she
- 39:57is in the process.
- 40:01Larry Young, twenty four,
- 40:05twenty five years later,
- 40:06I'm still waiting on my torn ACL to
- 40:08get back to normal.
- 40:14Mark Phillips,
- 40:14I couldn't trust my Achilles after that.
- 40:16It would be so mental for me.
- 40:19I think that's I think that's the biggest
- 40:21part of it.
- 40:22Right.
- 40:23Is one.
- 40:24She already retore it.
- 40:27Imagine that in the back of your head.
- 40:31Not I did it once.
- 40:33I've done it twice.
- 40:37Holy smokes, dude.
- 40:39I know people that had their shoulder
- 40:42repaired, you know,
- 40:45and have not been the same since.
- 40:47And it's not because it's not fixed.
- 40:49It's because they're still waiting on that
- 40:50other shoe to drop,
- 40:51like waiting for it to happen again.
- 40:53Wait and just, you know,
- 40:54I could probably push a little bit
- 40:55further, but oh,
- 40:56what happens if I tear it again?
- 40:57Well, if you tear it again,
- 40:58you have to get it fixed again.
- 40:59I mean-
- 41:01Yeah, but she's hurt so bad.
- 41:04Oh, I'm aware.
- 41:06I'm aware.
- 41:06When my wife had hers, dude, like,
- 41:10when she got it fixed, I mean,
- 41:11I did very little besides take care of
- 41:13her while she was rehabbing until she
- 41:16could, basically,
- 41:17until she got out of the sling and
- 41:18started actually using it.
- 41:21And it was not fun whatsoever, but...
- 41:27Ortega tried dubs this week, got three,
- 41:29and got scared and stopped.
- 41:31Yeah.
- 41:33It is totally understandable.
- 41:35Understandable, dude.
- 41:36I would be too.
- 41:41Isn't Mayhem Classic the first semifinal
- 41:43too interesting that she chose that event?
- 41:47I think she has that champion's mindset
- 41:51where she thinks she can do everything.
- 41:54And you need to have that.
- 41:55That is not a dog on her at
- 41:57all.
- 41:58She is a dog because of it.
- 42:00Right.
- 42:02And I think she just wants to get
- 42:04back out there and show that she's healed.
- 42:07That's what a champion's mindset is.
- 42:10It is just, it's just, I hope her,
- 42:15I hope Adam Rogers and the TTT team
- 42:17are being realistic with her though,
- 42:20about not like the worst thing that could
- 42:24happen is reinjuring it again.
- 42:27Yeah.
- 42:30I think, yeah.
- 42:32There's a couple reasons.
- 42:34Tristan says she wants multiple shots.
- 42:38Shanna says,
- 42:38I'm suspicious the first surgical repair
- 42:40was bad.
- 42:42And I've heard speculation on that front
- 42:44as well.
- 42:47Not from a doctor,
- 42:48but from the space that the first surgery
- 42:52was not a good one.
- 42:57tristan said if she doesn't qualify mayhem
- 43:00she will know exactly where she is
- 43:01compared to a very good field so that
- 43:04is a i wouldn't call that a hot
- 43:06take i would call that a very very
- 43:08educated take good job tristan uh you get
- 43:13to put yourself up against a ridiculous
- 43:15field right just invitees alone
- 43:19the rest of the people that are invited,
- 43:21if they show up,
- 43:23you're going to have some of the best
- 43:24in the world and you get to go
- 43:26and see.
- 43:26And if you don't make it, okay,
- 43:29this was the first one of the season.
- 43:30Let's see if I can go here.
- 43:32These people already qualified.
- 43:34This is probably who I'm going to go
- 43:35up against.
- 43:36Yeah, dude, that's a very,
- 43:38very good take on it.
- 43:40I like it a lot.
- 43:46Yeah.
- 43:48Yeah.
- 43:48So that's going to be fun.
- 43:49That's going to be a fun one to
- 43:49watch.
- 43:50And, you know,
- 43:51they'll probably stream it and they'll do
- 43:52a good job of streaming it.
- 43:53And because it's mayhem and it'll be a
- 43:55first class.
- 43:58If it's.
- 44:00Seventy percent of what it was last year,
- 44:01it's going to be fantastic to watch
- 44:03because their their stream last year was
- 44:04outstanding.
- 44:07Shay asked,
- 44:07do we know why Alexis left Adam Rogers
- 44:09and that's Gabby's new coach?
- 44:12It is Gabby's new coach.
- 44:13They announced that in a TTT podcast.
- 44:16Nobody knows why Alexis left Adam Rogers.
- 44:23And she was with Kyle last year.
- 44:26Kyle Ruth.
- 44:33I wanted to just do a quick grading
- 44:35of
- 44:37the CrossFit HQ this week.
- 44:42Because we dog them a lot.
- 44:46And I wanted to just put it out
- 44:49as they've had a really good week.
- 44:53And the way that they did those collabs
- 44:56with the athletes was an A-plus marketing
- 45:00thing.
- 45:02The fact that they added a Castro version
- 45:04of it
- 45:06was awesome with all of his announcements.
- 45:09The fact that they are letting affiliates
- 45:12apply for their own version of that is
- 45:16awesome.
- 45:19And then they announced that at the West
- 45:25Coast affiliate gathering,
- 45:28They are going to do a throwdown with
- 45:30the boys interrupted at the location of
- 45:33the twenty twenty six CrossFit Games,
- 45:35the SAP Center,
- 45:37and it will also be with the National
- 45:39Guard and the seminar staff.
- 45:44All at the SAP Center, which is,
- 45:47I think,
- 45:48a big coup for HQ as a as
- 45:52an advertisement and a pump up to get
- 45:55people excited for the games.
- 45:59If they're smart,
- 46:00they'll broadcast it live.
- 46:03Or a documentary of it of some sort
- 46:05that comes out fairly quickly after.
- 46:08I think the biggest point to this is
- 46:11going to be,
- 46:13do they sell tickets to the games
- 46:15immediately after?
- 46:17That would be...
- 46:19Again, a smart move.
- 46:22I would grade them an A-plus other than
- 46:26that they... The Air National Guard,
- 46:29Kenneth, I'm sorry.
- 46:31I would give them an A-plus other than
- 46:33the fact that they should have done
- 46:36registration for the Open closer to the
- 46:38first of the year.
- 46:40They should have done more marketing going
- 46:42into that
- 46:44And then, so people were ready for this.
- 46:47Still be surprised with the collabs,
- 46:49but like just little taste leading up to
- 46:53the registration.
- 46:55And then my other thing is, yeah,
- 46:57this is a really cool thing with the
- 46:59throwdown, but it better be covered well.
- 47:02It better be put out and ticket sales
- 47:05better start immediately after.
- 47:09It's all about-
- 47:12Whatever the three, two, one, go.
- 47:15And then they take off and Justin Medeiros
- 47:19is in the lead on the first round
- 47:21of whatever it is they're doing.
- 47:23And oh, by the way,
- 47:24tickets are now on sale.
- 47:26Go get your tickets for the CrossFit
- 47:27Games.
- 47:30While you have their attention...
- 47:34hey as soon as this as soon as
- 47:36this event goes live tickets are now on
- 47:39sale for the crossfit games go get your
- 47:41tickets for the twenty year anniversary
- 47:45done moving right along it better not be
- 47:48another golden barbell oh my god yeah i
- 47:55try to i try to eliminate that yeah
- 47:58i try to eliminate the golden bell barrel
- 48:00from my memory leader
- 48:03That was such a disaster.
- 48:05Good God.
- 48:08I'm trying to pull up the details.
- 48:10I'm typing one-handed.
- 48:12I'm sorry.
- 48:14That's a talent few possess, Scott.
- 48:17One-handed typing.
- 48:21I'm more of a two-finger typer.
- 48:27The golden barbell.
- 48:29Okay.
- 48:30It was so dumb that I have no
- 48:32idea who won it or what it was
- 48:33even for.
- 48:34I know it was something to do with
- 48:35the Open.
- 48:36That's about as far as I remember.
- 48:37I think it was for the winner of
- 48:39the Open announcement.
- 48:44So here we go.
- 48:45There it is.
- 48:46There's the announcement.
- 48:47It is the Air National Guard.
- 48:50Get a sneak peek of the twenty twenty
- 48:51six CrossFit Games venue and throw down
- 48:55with CrossFit seminar staff,
- 48:56the boys interrupted and the Air National
- 48:58Guard.
- 48:59The event registration is free and all
- 49:01attendees get a swag bag with a co-branded
- 49:04Yeti shaker,
- 49:05a limited edition patch and more.
- 49:08Following the event,
- 49:09an affiliate summit will take place in a
- 49:11private lounge with the SAP Center and
- 49:13Dave Castro, Katie Hogan,
- 49:15and other CrossFit team members.
- 49:18Click the link in the bio or in
- 49:21the stories to register.
- 49:28So it sounds like you get to throw
- 49:29down with them.
- 49:32It's not just the four of them,
- 49:34but you can register and come in and
- 49:37do that.
- 49:41Can I just say that if I was
- 49:43Jason Hopper,
- 49:44every time they would want to take one
- 49:46of these promotional pictures of me,
- 49:48I would have my medal on.
- 49:51I'd be like, hey, by the way,
- 49:53I'm the fittest guy on earth.
- 49:57Breaking news.
- 49:59Jeff Adler confirmed to compete at Mayhem.
- 50:02So that didn't hurt the field.
- 50:07That did not hurt the field.
- 50:08No.
- 50:08No.
- 50:13Definitely not.
- 50:14The field just got a little bit stronger.
- 50:17Tickets go on sale,
- 50:18but only for affiliates and their members.
- 50:19Would that be a good idea?
- 50:22Sure.
- 50:22I think the affiliate members should get
- 50:24first dibs on the tickets.
- 50:26You absolutely should.
- 50:28You pay forty five hundred dollars a year.
- 50:29You should get something.
- 50:33So a discount code,
- 50:36early access to tickets more than whatever
- 50:39it is they're getting now,
- 50:40which is not a whole lot.
- 50:45Yeah, Jody.
- 50:46Oh, well,
- 50:46another Yeti as if these athletes need one
- 50:48more.
- 50:49It's the swag bag for those that come
- 50:51and participate, not for the athletes.
- 50:56I have lots of Yetis.
- 50:57I love Yetis.
- 51:00Insulated cups you can shake a stick at.
- 51:03So back to CJ DePalma from the WOD
- 51:06Prep podcast this morning, him and Claire.
- 51:10He said that he liked this idea of
- 51:13the boys interrupted,
- 51:14but he thinks it needs expanded beyond the
- 51:18boys interrupted.
- 51:19Like start bringing in some other
- 51:21athletes.
- 51:21Okay.
- 51:23And I don't disagree with that take.
- 51:27Okay.
- 51:30But I do think that the boys in
- 51:31Erupted are the ones initiating the, hey,
- 51:35let's work with CrossFit.
- 51:39From what,
- 51:40I forget if it was Dallin or Jason
- 51:43was saying,
- 51:43they've been trying to get together with
- 51:45Dave and do something at the ranch for
- 51:46a couple of years now.
- 51:48Like, hey, we want to do something.
- 51:50And I don't think they really care if
- 51:51other people come in.
- 51:52They just want to do something.
- 51:56So, yeah, why not?
- 51:58Bring some other people in.
- 52:01My fear about this, though,
- 52:04is you remember the Brooke Wells days
- 52:08where Brooke got picked to do everything
- 52:10and then the stories were circling that
- 52:13Dave loved Brooke and, hey,
- 52:15maybe there was something extra going on
- 52:17there and Brooke gets extra treatment
- 52:19because of a relationship with Dave.
- 52:21Like, I don't want...
- 52:24I don't want this to become that, right?
- 52:27Yeah.
- 52:29So I'm hoping that they do reach out
- 52:30to some other athletes and mix this up
- 52:33a little bit more.
- 52:34But it has to be a two-way street.
- 52:35The athletes have to want to work with
- 52:37HQ.
- 52:37Yeah.
- 52:37Yeah, Shea is correct.
- 52:41Dave absolutely still loves Brooke.
- 52:42That's it.
- 52:44Yeah.
- 52:45Only now he loves Sydney too.
- 52:48And if you watch behind the scenes,
- 52:49that was very evident as well.
- 52:55Oh, she showed capacity, Scott.
- 52:58She showed capacity.
- 53:00I'll never let that, like,
- 53:02that'll never be out of my brain.
- 53:04I just, I still, to this day,
- 53:06do not, I don't get that.
- 53:08Or Craig makes a big point, good point.
- 53:10Who doesn't love Broker Sydney?
- 53:14I'm kind of indifferent,
- 53:15if I'm being completely honest with you,
- 53:17as far as they're concerned.
- 53:20I felt really bad when she broke her,
- 53:22uh,
- 53:23The whole elbow thing.
- 53:25Her elbow went ninety degrees in the other
- 53:28direction.
- 53:28In the wrong direction.
- 53:30Yeah.
- 53:32And I think it's cool that her sister
- 53:34was like,
- 53:34I can be a games athlete too.
- 53:36And it was.
- 53:37So kudos to her for that.
- 53:39But besides that,
- 53:41I'm kind of indifferent to the whole
- 53:42thing.
- 53:43Aside from the whole
- 53:47I don't want to say favoritism,
- 53:48but like some of the stuff that the
- 53:50capacity thing,
- 53:51the Brooke Wells burpee thing, and like,
- 53:54or chest was clearly not touching the
- 53:55ground.
- 53:55And like it took, yeah.
- 53:59After a lot of uproar.
- 54:03Well, we never gave,
- 54:05because the uproar came so fast,
- 54:09HQ never had the opportunity to do the
- 54:11right thing first.
- 54:12Yeah.
- 54:13And so they were in a lose-lose situation
- 54:16because by the time they got the video
- 54:19to even review, there were already,
- 54:22the court of a public opinion had already
- 54:24made their decision.
- 54:30If the boys are doing this event,
- 54:32does that mean they're not doing an open
- 54:33announcement though?
- 54:35That is not what I, I don't know.
- 54:37They said on Boys Interrupted that they
- 54:40all most likely were going to be doing
- 54:42an open announcement.
- 54:44And I think James is already confirmed for
- 54:46the one at the airbase, right?
- 54:49Yeah.
- 54:51So, yeah,
- 54:52so that's not going to be true, Lito.
- 54:55They're probably going to do something.
- 54:56It's just James, though.
- 54:59Well, he's the only one that's confirmed.
- 55:01They have to have a second person.
- 55:03I just don't know who that is.
- 55:10Nepotism.
- 55:10Nepotism.
- 55:12And again, like I have nothing,
- 55:14I have nothing against the boys
- 55:15interrupted and what they're doing for the
- 55:16space right now is invaluable and needs.
- 55:19We need those types of athletes doing
- 55:22this.
- 55:23Yeah.
- 55:24But I do think CJ made a great
- 55:25point that I think reaching out to some
- 55:28other athletes.
- 55:33So.
- 55:37So having said that,
- 55:39who would you like to see?
- 55:43besides Lucy Campbell.
- 55:46Well,
- 55:47and you know she's going to get the
- 55:48European one somehow.
- 55:51If she does it,
- 55:52they're missing a huge opportunity.
- 55:56Yeah,
- 55:56I think Terry Lightfoot needs to get one
- 55:59over there too.
- 56:00Hopefully they do a set of women and
- 56:02a set of men.
- 56:05I must say, I must say this too.
- 56:07I do think that even though she's not
- 56:09participating in the season because she's
- 56:10pregnant,
- 56:10if they don't utilize Tia in some sort
- 56:13of way, even to be there, like announcing,
- 56:16hey,
- 56:16twenty six point two is or twenty six
- 56:18point three is or whatever the case may
- 56:21be.
- 56:22They're missing an opportunity because she
- 56:24would.
- 56:27And I mean,
- 56:28she got up at three o'clock in the
- 56:29morning to go and chase the show.
- 56:32use her she is the goat she's not
- 56:37yeah but she's got a good reason to
- 56:39not be speaker i understand that but
- 56:42people respond to her yeah right she's
- 56:45going to bring eyes oh t is going
- 56:47to be there doing something or another
- 56:49absolutely she will however many months
- 56:51pregnant she's going to be at the time
- 56:53i just think that's a that's an easy
- 56:55win that they're that
- 56:59They can just kind of let slip away.
- 57:01I'm a huge fan of Harry Lightfoot.
- 57:03Oh, Harry Lightfoot.
- 57:05They definitely need to get him just for
- 57:06his personality alone, dude.
- 57:08Like that dude is a trip.
- 57:12Well,
- 57:12when he at Rogue was going around the
- 57:13crowd doing the pump up thing,
- 57:15like that's what we need.
- 57:18Yeah.
- 57:19That's what we need.
- 57:19I love it.
- 57:22Yeah.
- 57:23Lucy was involved with the teaser for
- 57:25Europe.
- 57:25I'm sure she's going to do Europe.
- 57:28I think that's going to be it for
- 57:32sure.
- 57:35And if you did,
- 57:36if you didn't watch the sport of fitness
- 57:37podcast,
- 57:39Chase and Hobart are going to compete
- 57:41against each other with teams.
- 57:42I saw that.
- 57:48Trying to re bring back the row versus
- 57:50boss.
- 57:52I mean,
- 57:54Chase versus Hobart could be a very,
- 57:56very interesting competition.
- 57:58Yeah.
- 57:59it would be like the Chicago Bears versus
- 58:02St.
- 58:03Agnes of the Epistle Junior High football
- 58:07team.
- 58:09James Hobart, super high-level athlete.
- 58:12Chase still can't deadlift.
- 58:16Chase and Dave Castro,
- 58:18possibly the two worst public deadlifters
- 58:20on the face of the planet.
- 58:21Yeah.
- 58:28Guys,
- 58:28I would not be pushing Gabby to do
- 58:30this.
- 58:31That's a terrible idea.
- 58:33Yeah, I like the Kringle-Lucy angle much,
- 58:37much better.
- 58:39We've got a Harry Lightfoot versus an
- 58:40Olakai.
- 58:41I'd take that.
- 58:44Callum Clements.
- 58:49Yeah, but it has to be Harry.
- 58:50I think it has to be Harry.
- 58:53Harry is the star in Europe right now
- 58:54on the men's side.
- 58:57Again, on personality alone.
- 59:00Not to say he's not fit.
- 59:01He is extraordinarily fit.
- 59:03But on personality alone,
- 59:05let's get Harry Lightfoot in front of the
- 59:07camera.
- 59:09Kenneth is saying my Chase versus Hobart,
- 59:12like the guards versus the inmates was
- 59:14supposed to be during the longest yard.
- 59:16Yeah, the inmates.
- 59:19Chase may come back.
- 59:21Beat the shit out of James.
- 59:25There we go.
- 59:26It would be interesting either way.
- 59:29Entertaining, I should say.
- 59:31Either way, for sure.
- 59:32USA versus Europe,
- 59:34Mertens versus Lightfoot.
- 59:35I'd watch.
- 59:37I'd watch that.
- 59:39I'm going to watch it anyway,
- 59:40but I would enjoy that.
- 59:45Did you say Chase can't lift?
- 59:47Let's go Hobart.
- 59:50He can't deadlift.
- 59:51He can't deadlift.
- 59:51I didn't say he couldn't lift.
- 59:53No, and he knows he can't deadlift.
- 59:55That's the thing.
- 59:55Like he is well aware as a glaring
- 59:57weakness that he refuses to work.
- 1:00:00He said it many times.
- 1:00:03Maybe Gabby in a year.
- 1:00:04I agree, Shanna.
- 1:00:05Give her a year.
- 1:00:09I hope to God that her coach is
- 1:00:11like not, and I'm sure he's probably not,
- 1:00:14but like,
- 1:00:15or kind of pulling the reins back to
- 1:00:17not do too much too soon.
- 1:00:20Cause everybody in this space wants to see
- 1:00:22her succeed and knows what kind of
- 1:00:23potential she has, right?
- 1:00:25Like she is ridiculous whenever she's fit
- 1:00:30in that.
- 1:00:34What if they brought back all the
- 1:00:35champions for the first one?
- 1:00:37One, I don't think it's possible.
- 1:00:42um it's not that many people i know
- 1:00:45but there's some that are not going to
- 1:00:46do the season even so to get those
- 1:00:50champions back is going to be difficult um
- 1:00:53and then do i don't think we need
- 1:00:55to go back to you know get uh
- 1:01:01oh man hold up
- 1:01:05James Fitzgerald,
- 1:01:06we don't need to see out there.
- 1:01:08OPT, yeah.
- 1:01:10OPT, who else?
- 1:01:12But it'd be cool to see like Kalipa
- 1:01:14and... Jason Kalipa.
- 1:01:18I mean, Rich would be in.
- 1:01:19That ain't a big deal.
- 1:01:20Graham did Masters last year.
- 1:01:22Graham, I was about to say,
- 1:01:24Graham would be out there with a shirt
- 1:01:25on.
- 1:01:25Beco goes to Rogue every year.
- 1:01:29I would love to see Beco go.
- 1:01:30I can't see Frazier coming and doing it.
- 1:01:33You know what?
- 1:01:34I bet if you asked him,
- 1:01:36if they asked him and he was like,
- 1:01:38and gave him enough time to actually be
- 1:01:40in some kind of open shape,
- 1:01:41because I'm sure he's in shape now,
- 1:01:42but what's that look like?
- 1:01:44Because he does not look the same as
- 1:01:45he did when he was competing.
- 1:01:50I do have him in the crowd and
- 1:01:51pan to him at one point.
- 1:01:54That I could see.
- 1:01:55Like, invite them all back.
- 1:01:56Maybe give them, like,
- 1:01:59something to say congratulations.
- 1:02:01You get this jacket for being a games
- 1:02:05champion.
- 1:02:07I don't know.
- 1:02:07Something like that.
- 1:02:08Like, all I'm saying is, like,
- 1:02:10the Bears brought Brian Urlacher and Devin
- 1:02:12Hester.
- 1:02:13They wore their Hall of Fame jackets out
- 1:02:14on the field before the last game.
- 1:02:17Something like that.
- 1:02:19I'm trying to think about the women's side
- 1:02:21because we've got, like, Katie.
- 1:02:23The war ain't coming.
- 1:02:25no i'm aware of that i'm talking i'm
- 1:02:28going like oh seven oh eight right give
- 1:02:33them all a golden bell barbell and play
- 1:02:37and play the theme song from the golden
- 1:02:39girls thank you for being a friend what

- 1:03:35LeBlanc, Bazinet, David Sutter,
- 1:03:38David Sutter, Tia, Tia, Tia, Tia, Tia,
- 1:03:40Tia, Tia, Laura, Tia, Tia.
- 1:03:50When you say it out loud like that,
- 1:03:52you realize how ridiculous it is and how
- 1:03:54many times she's won.
- 1:03:56Yeah,
- 1:03:56all I can think of is that stupid,
- 1:03:58like, whoop, Johnny, whoop, Johnny,
- 1:03:59Johnny, Johnny.
- 1:04:02Laura's just the whoop in the middle of
- 1:04:05the Johnny Johnnies.
- 1:04:06So even Matt winning five times in a
- 1:04:10row and Rich winning the four times before
- 1:04:14then with Ben smacking, so it's like Rich,
- 1:04:17Rich, Rich, Rich, Ben.
- 1:04:19Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt.
- 1:04:21But then after that,
- 1:04:22it's been somebody else.

- 1:04:36Tia, Tia, Tia.

- 1:04:49Tia, Tia, Tia, Tia, Tia.
- 1:04:50My Tia.
- 1:04:56That is.
- 1:04:56Tia gets golden plates to go with her
- 1:04:57golden barbell for repeats.
- 1:05:07Bro.
- 1:05:07Yeah.
- 1:05:07Been a while since I've picked up a
- 1:05:08comic,
- 1:05:09but I thought Captain America was pretty
- 1:05:10strong.
- 1:05:12The real Captain America was strong.
- 1:05:13He had super serum.
- 1:05:15Chase was out the day they gave the
- 1:05:17super serum.
- 1:05:20Chase is strong.
- 1:05:23He just can't deadlift.
- 1:05:25He just can't deadlift.
- 1:05:27It's not that he's not.
- 1:05:28And again,
- 1:05:29he will be the first person to tell
- 1:05:31you that.
- 1:05:32That he can squat.
- 1:05:35Not a big deal.
- 1:05:35He had a decent clean.
- 1:05:36He had a decent snatch.
- 1:05:37But just don't ask him to pick anything
- 1:05:39up off the floor.
- 1:05:42It's just not his deal.
- 1:05:45All right, well,
- 1:05:45we've gone really long today.
- 1:05:49Not as long as Tia, Tia, Tia, Tia,
- 1:05:50Tia, Tia, Tia, Tia.
