  What is going on, everybody?
• 0:31
  Welcome to Sunday, Sunday,
• 0:33
  Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
• 0:35
  I am on an iPad,
• 0:36
  so I can't use any of the special
• 0:39
  effects, any of the sounds.
• 0:42
  Probably won't be able to share many
• 0:44
  screens, but here we are.
• 0:47
  What about the Factor Fiction?
• 0:48
  Can you bring those up or not even?
• 0:49
  Yeah, yeah, I'll be able to do that.
• 0:51
  Yeah, they're within StreamYard,
• 0:52
  so I'm okay there.
• 0:53
  Got it.
• 0:56
  So, what's going on?
• 1:00
  Not much.
• 1:03
  I did a lot of cleaning this weekend
• 1:04
  around the condo and some corrections and
• 1:08
  report card comments are coming up next
• 1:10
  week.
• 1:11
  So busy time for being a teacher.
• 1:16
  Yeah.
• 1:18
  Here we go.
• 1:19
  Studio internet still on my...
• 1:21
  It's not my internet.
• 1:22
  It is actually my laptop.
• 1:24
  I had it with a guy all weekend.
• 1:27
  Runs fine.
• 1:27
  It might be that it... I don't know.
• 1:30
  I have no idea at this point.
• 1:32
  It was working fine for me all afternoon
• 1:35
  when I got it back.
• 1:37
  I brought it down here.
• 1:38
  And when I hook it up to the
• 1:40
  RODECaster, it seems to go...
• 1:44
  So I don't know if it's something with
• 1:45
  the RODECaster or what.
• 1:48
  But...
• 1:49
  Yep, and then, yeah,
• 1:51
  sorry about the Bears.
• 1:52
  Yeah, it was a bad day.
• 1:55
  Bad day, but we're all right.
• 1:58
  I didn't expect to win that game.
• 2:03
  with my family being a Steelers fan,
• 2:06
  all of them,
• 2:08
  I know that the Ravens find ways somehow
• 2:11
  when their back's against the wall to do
• 2:13
  whatever.
• 2:14
  And I just,
• 2:15
  I knew this weekend was going to be
• 2:16
  that for the Bears.
• 2:18
  So I didn't go in with the anticipation
• 2:20
  of a big win.
• 2:23
  So, Blue Jays are in the World Series.
• 2:28
  Yes, they are.
• 2:28
  They've been keeping me up late at night
• 2:31
  all week.
• 2:32
  How is,
• 2:33
  what is the town of Toronto like or
• 2:35
  the city of Toronto?
• 2:36
  It's crazy.
• 2:37
  Like it's yeah.
• 2:38
  Everyone's talking about it.
• 2:40
  Like it's just,
• 2:41
  it's a huge thing right now here.
• 2:43
  Um, yeah,
• 2:44
  it's been like over thirty years,
• 2:46
  I think thirty two years since they've
• 2:48
  been in the World Series.
• 2:50
  I grew up an Expos fan and uh,
• 2:55
  You really haven't watched much baseball
• 2:57
  in the last, like,
• 2:59
  you know, a while,
• 3:00
  but then once Guerrero Jr.
• 3:03
  signed with Toronto,
• 3:05
  like I was a fan of like his
• 3:07
  dad with the Expos.
• 3:08
  So like at that point I started following
• 3:12
  his career and then just to see how
• 3:13
  good he was basically right away.
• 3:16
  Um,
• 3:17
  and I just jumped the bandwagon and became
• 3:19
  a Toronto Blue Jays fan like a few
• 3:21
  years ago.
• 3:22
  So I'm not a diehard as,
• 3:24
  as much as some people that grew up
• 3:26
  loving them in Toronto,
• 3:26
  but it has been very exciting to, uh,
• 3:31
  to have them go on this run.
• 3:32
  They're fun to watch.
• 3:34
  They have a deep roster.
• 3:37
  If their bats get hot,
• 3:40
  they're going to make some noise.
• 3:43
  LA has some really good pitching.
• 3:45
  They have the best pitching crew in the
• 3:49
  majors.
• 3:51
  Starting pitching.
• 3:52
  If you get to their bullpen,
• 3:55
  you have a really good shot.
• 3:57
  Blue Jays won game one.
• 3:58
  Dodgers won game two.
• 4:00
  So we're all even five to go.
• 4:03
  They didn't even have to go to any
• 4:04
  bullpen last game because that pitcher did
• 4:06
  the whole game.
• 4:08
  Second one in a row.
• 4:10
  And those are unheard of these days with
• 4:11
  all the specialists.
• 4:15
  So, um,
• 4:16
  I had an interesting thing happened to me
• 4:17
  this weekend.
• 4:19
  I've,
• 4:19
  I've said on the show a million times
• 4:21
  when I was growing up,
• 4:21
  my dream was to be a sportscaster.
• 4:23
  Right.
• 4:24
  And, um,
• 4:27
  And I looked up to like the Bob
• 4:29
  Costases and the Joe Bucks and the Harry
• 4:34
  Carys and the Howard Cosells.
• 4:37
  And I'm scrolling through Instagram and
• 4:40
  all of a sudden I see an ad
• 4:42
  and my voice,
• 4:44
  my voice is on the ad.
• 4:47
  And I was like, what is going on?
• 4:50
  And it gave me like goosebumps.
• 4:53
  And so Vindicate is selling a new shirt
• 4:57
  for Colton Mertens.
• 5:00
  It says, don't be a dork.
• 5:02
  And if people don't know,
• 5:03
  Colton always calls his competitors dorks.
• 5:07
  And so at the very beginning of the
• 5:09
  ad,
• 5:09
  it's my interview with Colton at the
• 5:12
  Pasadena semifinals when I got to him on
• 5:17
  the floor and I said,
• 5:20
  when are people going to start believing?
• 5:23
  And that's what they used for the ad.
• 5:25
  That's awesome.
• 5:26
  That's awesome.
• 5:29
  and i it just i know it's small
• 5:32
  and that we're niche and it's a little
• 5:33
  bitty thing but you know when you grow
• 5:36
  up and that's what you want to be
• 5:37
  someday and all of a sudden an interview
• 5:40
  you did three years ago is being used
• 5:42
  in an ad it was it was really
• 5:47
  cool i think the line was when are
• 5:49
  people going to stop doubting and then he
• 5:52
  he responded to that and they used both
• 5:54
  his and my his my question his response
• 5:58
  um for the ad and it's out on
• 6:00
  instagram if you want to see it it's
• 6:02
  really um it's right at the beginning um
• 6:05
  it's what kicks it off but i mean
• 6:07
  i'm playing it for my wife i'm playing
• 6:09
  it for my mom so it was really
• 6:12
  really cool that's awesome check that out
• 6:17
  uh judy reed uh that's sick uh terry
• 6:21
  very cool
• 6:23
  Kenneth DeLapp, that's cool as hell.
• 6:25
  Megan says, awesome.
• 6:27
  Thank you all.
• 6:29
  It just was a cool little treat when
• 6:32
  you don't expect it.
• 6:34
  So that was cool.
• 6:36
  Have you shared it on Instagram?
• 6:38
  I did.
• 6:39
  I put it on my story.
• 6:40
  Okay.
• 6:42
  But it's probably already expired because
• 6:43
  I think it's been twenty-four hours.
• 6:45
  Okay.
• 6:47
  So, yeah.
• 6:50
  So, big news this week.
• 6:53
  CrossFit Games, twenty twenty six,
• 6:57
  San Jose, California.
• 7:00
  Yep.
• 7:01
  Thoughts?
• 7:02
  I mean, it's what we expected, right?
• 7:06
  I don't know if I expected San Jose.
• 7:08
  Yeah, I did.
• 7:10
  Me and Lexa talked about it.
• 7:11
  And that's exactly where we thought it was
• 7:12
  going to be.
• 7:13
  With San Jose.
• 7:15
  Because of Dave's post walking around or
• 7:18
  what?
• 7:19
  Yeah.
• 7:19
  So like once, once it was a,
• 7:21
  we're like,
• 7:21
  there's no way it's going to be there.
• 7:22
  And then we're like,
• 7:23
  it should be like San Jose,
• 7:24
  like still like in like the NorCal area,
• 7:26
  but we had just said that city and
• 7:30
  yeah, it was like a,
• 7:33
  what our predicted guess was.
• 7:34
  So one thing I didn't know, like when,
• 7:36
  when he took his picture at the Valkyrie
• 7:38
  game,
• 7:39
  they normally play in where the golden
• 7:42
  state warriors play the chase center but
• 7:44
  it wasn't but it was booked one time
• 7:47
  and so they played where the sharks played
• 7:49
  the sap center because the chase center
• 7:52
  was booked because they didn't think
• 7:54
  they'd make the playoffs and so he might
• 7:57
  was he at the sap center when he
• 7:59
  took the picture i don't remember it it
• 8:02
  looked it looked like the chase center
• 8:05
  because i went to the chase center to
• 8:06
  watch um like the valkyries play but
• 8:10
  It was more,
• 8:11
  I think I was just more looking at
• 8:12
  their jumbotron,
• 8:13
  like intro and it looked familiar from
• 8:16
  when I was there,
• 8:17
  but it could have been the other arena.
• 8:19
  Um, yeah, I like San Jose.
• 8:24
  I think it's a, it's a nice place.
• 8:26
  Easy to get to.
• 8:27
  There's a lot of airports around it.
• 8:29
  Like you have like options to go to
• 8:33
  San Francisco airport, San Jose airport,
• 8:35
  Oakland airport.
• 8:38
  they're all like basically within i want
• 8:40
  to say like an hour of each other
• 8:42
  ish um like i normally fly into san
• 8:46
  francisco but it's not too too far away
• 8:48
  from from san jose is san jose an
• 8:50
  international airport yes so this is what
• 8:56
  i've heard from other people because i've
• 8:58
  never been there san jose airport is three
• 9:01
  miles from the sap center
• 9:05
  San Francisco is about forty five minutes
• 9:09
  away,
• 9:09
  but there is a train that goes from
• 9:12
  the airport directly to where the SAP
• 9:14
  Center is.
• 9:16
  Oh, that's great.
• 9:17
  And it's and so I'm guessing it's faster
• 9:19
  by train than by car.
• 9:22
  But that's just me guessing.
• 9:24
  So those are two valid options.
• 9:26
  And there's an Oakland airport as well.
• 9:29
  So there are actually three airport
• 9:31
  options to fly into to find the best
• 9:33
  price.
• 9:35
  Have you looked at flights yet?
• 9:38
  I have not.
• 9:39
  I don't even know if you can look
• 9:41
  at flights a year out.
• 9:42
  Yeah.
• 9:42
  Well, I don't know.
• 9:44
  I bet you probably can.
• 9:46
  Yeah, you can.
• 9:49
  I did book a hotel room.
• 9:51
  I saw that,
• 9:51
  and you said that it was even more
• 9:53
  reasonable than Albany, so that's great.
• 9:56
  And how close are you from the venue?
• 9:59
  It's San Jose Airport,
• 10:01
  so less than three miles.
• 10:03
  Cool.
• 10:06
  So even if I have to Uber,
• 10:07
  like that's a quick Uber.
• 10:09
  Yeah.
• 10:09
  Right.
• 10:10
  Yeah.
• 10:16
  So that's good.
• 10:17
  I mean,
• 10:19
  that's better to find a little bit more
• 10:21
  reasonable price wise area of California
• 10:27
  because we know some of the other areas
• 10:30
  can be just so expensive,
• 10:32
  cost prohibitive.
• 10:33
  I've also heard it's a really nice place
• 10:35
  to vacation.
• 10:36
  So if you want to add on a
• 10:38
  couple days, Napa is like right there.
• 10:42
  You have all of the big like Silicon
• 10:46
  Valley stuff.
• 10:47
  So yeah, hopefully it's for everything.
• 10:57
  And they announced the dates too with it,
• 10:59
  which was nice.
• 11:02
  Cause I thought just the location with
• 11:03
  like the whole dates, location,
• 11:05
  everything.
• 11:06
  So yeah.
• 11:07
  Looking forward to more information that
• 11:08
  they're going to be releasing in the next
• 11:11
  podcast or two that Dave was talking
• 11:13
  about.
• 11:14
  What do you, I mean,
• 11:15
  do you think it's going to be like
• 11:17
  a day before at the ranch or what
• 11:19
  do you think is the.
• 11:21
  I feel like they have to go to
• 11:22
  the ranch like for the twentieth
• 11:23
  anniversary or anniversary.
• 11:25
  Like it only makes sense to go back.
• 11:28
  Like the group went back in twenty twenty,
• 11:31
  but it was such an intimate group of
• 11:33
  five and five during covid.
• 11:36
  They flew them in the one time.
• 11:38
  When was that?
• 11:40
  Twenty five.
• 11:42
  I think they will.
• 11:52
  Papa Frank, that's expensive there too.
• 11:56
  But like I said, I got my hotel.
• 11:59
  It was a nine rating on booking.com.
• 12:03
  And Jamie and I have stayed in hotels
• 12:05
  that are like a five point eight.
• 12:07
  So to get a nine for cheaper than
• 12:11
  I got my hotel in Albany.
• 12:14
  That's I was pretty stoked.
• 12:16
  Yeah.
• 12:20
  Um,
• 12:20
  CrossFit says short bus drive away from
• 12:23
  the ranch.
• 12:26
  Um, yeah, I,
• 12:28
  I've heard that it's like a good forty
• 12:29
  five minutes to an hour to the ranch
• 12:32
  from there.
• 12:32
  But I mean,
• 12:33
  you could drive a bus out.
• 12:35
  I mean,
• 12:35
  we did it with Rogue Invitational going to
• 12:38
  the ranch for the run event.
• 12:40
  I feel like they would totally do a
• 12:41
  forty five minute hour drive to go to
• 12:44
  the ranch,
• 12:44
  like totally worth it for multiple events
• 12:47
  or even if it's just one event there,
• 12:49
  the hopper.
• 12:52
  Um, yeah.
• 12:54
  Uh, yeah.
• 12:56
  Uh, questions.
• 12:57
  My right there.
• 12:58
  Google is saying the drive right now from
• 12:59
  San Jose to Napa is an hour and
• 13:01
  thirty.
• 13:02
  The Bay Area is huge.
• 13:03
  Yeah.
• 13:03
  But if I'm in Ohio,
• 13:05
  that's way closer than I'll ever be to
• 13:07
  Napa again.
• 13:12
  That's true.
• 13:13
  So it is right there for me.
• 13:19
  CrossFit says you could do it on a
• 13:21
  day the venue is not scheduled.
• 13:28
  Could do what?
• 13:29
  A day at the ranch?
• 13:30
  Yeah.
• 13:31
  I think so.
• 13:31
  Yeah.
• 13:34
  Yeah,
• 13:34
  because I think they only booked it the
• 13:35
  Friday, Saturday, Sunday, I believe,
• 13:36
  for the venue.
• 13:39
  Yeah,
• 13:39
  those are the dates they announced for the
• 13:42
  games.
• 13:43
  But they have added days on in the
• 13:46
  past that weren't a part of the original
• 13:48
  announcement.
• 13:50
  And usually it's an off-site event.
• 13:53
  Yeah, open to the public.
• 14:01
  Megan says, if I leave Iowa for that,
• 14:03
  I might as well make a vacation out
• 14:04
  of it too.
• 14:07
  I've only been to California one time in
• 14:08
  my life.
• 14:12
  I might get there a couple more times
• 14:13
  in my life,
• 14:14
  but it's not going to be so frequent
• 14:15
  that I shouldn't take advantage of
• 14:17
  opportunities.
• 14:25
  Multiple nearby actual real airports are
• 14:28
  nice for basically every athlete traveling
• 14:30
  in.
• 14:32
  Yeah,
• 14:33
  having options to every airport from
• 14:35
  around the world is pretty cool and way
• 14:39
  better than we had in Albany or Madison.
• 14:51
  Offsite we'll be swimming to Alcatraz and
• 14:53
  back.
• 14:55
  I think Dave put a nix on that.
• 14:57
  Yeah.
• 15:00
  Do you remember the Ironman they used to
• 15:01
  do back in the,
• 15:03
  it's probably eighties now.
• 15:05
  And the first part of it was the
• 15:06
  three mile swim from Alcatraz to the
• 15:08
  mainland.
• 15:09
  Yeah.
• 15:15
  And they used to always say it was
• 15:16
  shark infested waters and, and, you know,
• 15:20
  so many people tried to escape from there.
• 15:21
  And,
• 15:22
  and so it made the legend of the
• 15:24
  Ironman like this really daunting thing.
• 15:27
  It's so weird where we've come to,
• 15:29
  to this point,
• 15:30
  all these people wanted to swim from
• 15:32
  Alcatraz to San Francisco to start an
• 15:34
  Ironman.
• 15:36
  And now we're worried about swimming and
• 15:37
  it might be too dangerous.
• 15:40
  So it's, that's interesting.
• 15:48
  What are the dates?
• 15:49
  Is it moved up like a week or
• 15:51
  two?
• 15:52
  It's the end of July.
• 15:53
  Yeah.
• 15:55
  I have, like,
• 15:55
  twenty-fifth in my head right now.
• 15:57
  Yeah, I think that's it.
• 15:59
  Like, twenty-fourth, twenty-fifth,
• 16:00
  twenty-sixth?
• 16:00
  Yeah, something like that.
• 16:03
  Whatever the Friday, Saturday,
• 16:05
  Sunday is around those dates.
• 16:12
  Is it hot out there at that time
• 16:13
  of year?
• 16:15
  Well, like, the San Francisco,
• 16:17
  the Bay Area, there is night, like,
• 16:19
  it's normally cooler,
• 16:23
  but
• 16:25
  I don't remember San Jose.
• 16:26
  I think it's still hot.
• 16:27
  Like, it's California.
• 16:28
  Right.
• 16:30
  But you will get some breeze, right,
• 16:32
  coming off the ocean.
• 16:34
  I'd have to ask Lex.
• 16:35
  Lex used to live there for a little
• 16:36
  bit.
• 16:39
  She'd know the weather better than me.
• 16:44
  Kenneth DeLapp confirms it's set
• 16:46
  twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six.
• 16:51
  Yeah.
• 16:51
  Sorry guys.
• 16:52
  I'm down to one screen.
• 16:53
  So everything,
• 16:54
  all my notes I had on a second
• 16:56
  screen, I'm screwed.
• 17:00
  Yeah.
• 17:00
  So add AI says,
• 17:03
  so then only three days again,
• 17:05
  not four or five days,
• 17:06
  like years in the past.
• 17:06
  I mean,
• 17:07
  that's what we're speculating though,
• 17:08
  is that maybe the Dave's twist
• 17:12
  announcement is going to be the ranch on
• 17:15
  another day, but no, but,
• 17:16
  but no spectators.
• 17:18
  Right.
• 17:23
  everybody's talking about the Bay Area fog
• 17:26
  can get really cold even in the middle
• 17:27
  of summer.
• 17:30
  Yeah,
• 17:32
  I'm guessing I would not think it was
• 17:34
  hot.
• 17:34
  There you go.
• 17:34
  Lex would know San Jose is a lot
• 17:35
  hotter than Oakland, San Francisco.
• 17:37
  Yeah.
• 17:38
  Because those are those are like perfect
• 17:40
  summer temp temperature gets hot,
• 17:41
  but it's still like breezy.
• 17:45
  Yeah,
• 17:46
  I had to look it up on a
• 17:46
  map to see where San Jose was in
• 17:49
  comparison.
• 17:50
  And it's like a triangle.
• 17:52
  Across the top is Oakland and San
• 17:54
  Francisco,
• 17:55
  and at the bottom of the triangle is
• 17:56
  San Jose.
• 17:57
  And they're all on the bay in like
• 18:00
  a triangle.
• 18:06
  And we're going to get our age group
• 18:07
  announcement this week.
• 18:08
  Well, don't skip ahead.
• 18:10
  I know, Jamie,
• 18:10
  you don't read the rundown early.
• 18:12
  I read the rundown.
• 18:12
  I have the whole thing written out.
• 18:15
  All right.
• 18:15
  That's what people are commenting.
• 18:21
  Yeah.
• 18:22
  Cold is relative.
• 18:23
  Ed AI says cold is relative.
• 18:25
  It's forty two outside my house and it's
• 18:27
  fine.
• 18:28
  Yeah.
• 18:29
  My daughter just called.
• 18:30
  They're having forty mile an hour winds in
• 18:32
  Montana right now.
• 18:35
  She said you went to take the garbage
• 18:37
  out and it blew right out of her
• 18:38
  hands.
• 18:39
  Jeez.
• 18:41
  Yeah, it's forty five here.
• 18:42
  Not warm enough for me.
• 18:48
  So Uh lex says no ocean breeze not
• 18:58
  near it,
• 19:00
  okay So there's no such thing as a
• 19:03
  bay breeze Isn't that a drink yes It's
• 19:12
  like a
• 19:14
  A sea breeze is vodka and cranberry juice.
• 19:17
  And a bay breeze is like a variation
• 19:19
  of that, I believe.
• 19:20
  Yeah.
• 19:24
  I don't know if it's a different liquor
• 19:25
  or a different juice.
• 19:27
  Yeah.
• 19:30
  I would have known that back in my
• 19:31
  bartending days.
• 19:35
  So...
• 19:36
  right so i'm i'm excited about it i
• 19:39
  was really when i saw i could get
• 19:41
  a hotel pro it's for me it's all
• 19:43
  about the cost like is it going to
• 19:45
  be affordable and when the hotel was way
• 19:49
  cheaper than albany like i was stoked now
• 19:52
  it's just finding the plane ticket um
• 19:55
  that's reasonable to get there um andrew
• 19:59
  stenn believes that the bay breeze is
• 20:01
  great fruit juice and vodka
• 20:07
  so um yeah it's been chilly here but
• 20:14
  we had a nice day today even though
• 20:16
  it was in the sixties wow yeah barely
• 20:20
  like sixty two sixty three i don't think
• 20:23
  we got i don't think we got out
• 20:24
  of like fifty five but you could get
• 20:27
  like some yard work done and not be
• 20:29
  like dripping in sweat so
• 20:35
  Yeah,
• 20:36
  Larry said he got his hotel for almost
• 20:37
  half what he paid in Albany.
• 20:38
  Jeez, that's crazy.
• 20:40
  Yeah,
• 20:41
  I bet you it was about half of
• 20:42
  what I paid.
• 20:45
  I mean, it was expensive.
• 20:46
  I mean, I paid for mine last minute,
• 20:47
  but it was expensive.
• 20:51
  Yeah.
• 20:53
  For the amenities around... Now,
• 20:55
  my hotel was beautiful,
• 20:56
  and I would not complain one bit about
• 20:58
  the hotel,
• 20:59
  but there was nothing around it that was
• 21:02
  worth eating at or...
• 21:05
  anything like that there was no extra oh
• 21:13
  andrew was wrong now we here we go
• 21:16
  i was wrong vodka cranberry and pineapple
• 21:18
  is a bay breeze that sounds delicious i
• 21:21
  think i would like that sounds like like
• 21:25
  my college days there
• 21:31
  so funny.
• 21:31
  I would, when I,
• 21:33
  I love those kinds of drinks,
• 21:34
  but I would never admit it when I
• 21:35
  was like a college guy.
• 21:36
  Cause you'd get made fun of if you
• 21:39
  ordered a Bay breeze or a sea breeze.
• 21:41
  Um, so yeah,
• 21:44
  that's like the only thing I could drink.
• 21:47
  Cause like, I hate beer.
• 21:48
  I hate wine.
• 21:50
  And like,
• 21:50
  I'll just do like a fruity vodka mixed
• 21:52
  drink.
• 21:54
  Yeah.
• 21:57
  Uh,
• 21:59
  NAI wants the good vodka,
• 22:01
  not the cheap stuff.
• 22:02
  Yeah.
• 22:03
  Cheap vodka is awful.
• 22:10
  It is.
• 22:13
  Now, CrossFit's all negative tonight, man.
• 22:15
  What's going on?
• 22:17
  Your team lose today or something?
• 22:20
  There are tons of homeless in San Jose
• 22:22
  and very comfortable being homeless.
• 22:27
  There's homelessness in every big city.
• 22:28
  Yeah.
• 22:29
  Just bring extra sandwiches,
• 22:36
  hand them out.
• 22:40
  When I worked downtown Columbus,
• 22:41
  that's what I did.
• 22:44
  Because I never carried cash or anything.
• 22:45
  I would make extra peanut butter and jelly
• 22:47
  sandwiches and I would just hand them out
• 22:48
  as I walked to my work.
• 22:51
  That was it.
• 22:52
  Yeah.
• 22:54
  um all right so that's the games the
• 22:58
  next thing i wanted to talk about is
• 22:59
  this week um the crossfit came out with
• 23:01
  their new campaign forging elite fitness
• 23:04
  um off the backs of f the quick
• 23:07
  fix crossfit secure now it's um forging
• 23:11
  elite fitness did you guys get to see
• 23:14
  the ad
• 23:17
  I did not watch long enough of it.
• 23:19
  I don't know what I was doing.
• 23:20
  I scrolled past it.
• 23:21
  It was like a minute and ten.
• 23:24
  I think I watched like fifteen seconds.
• 23:26
  I don't know.
• 23:28
  I caught the beginning and then just kept
• 23:29
  scrolling.
• 23:30
  I had a busy week with going to
• 23:32
  Monday Night Football and getting back
• 23:34
  into...
• 23:37
  You're supposed to be resting by doctor's
• 23:39
  orders.
• 23:40
  I can't get you to watch a minute
• 23:41
  and ten second video.
• 23:44
  I watched it.
• 23:45
  I liked it.
• 23:45
  It was good.
• 23:51
  I did see that this was a possibility.
• 23:53
  I didn't know it was official.
• 23:55
  I did not see that it was official.
• 23:57
  I didn't either.
• 24:00
  Man,
• 24:01
  talk about going from the mountaintop to
• 24:02
  not.
• 24:05
  um so i i talked about it on
• 24:10
  on the lunch show i watched it right
• 24:12
  before i went on air i was really
• 24:14
  pumped up by it um i thought it
• 24:15
  was really well done i liked the narration
• 24:18
  and then andrew hiller was in the comments
• 24:21
  so we got into a discussion about what
• 24:23
  is it missing because he thought it was
• 24:26
  missing something and so we got into a
• 24:28
  discussion about that
• 24:30
  and i thought like honestly it pumped me
• 24:32
  up it it but i am i'm a
• 24:35
  believer in crossfit the methodology i'm a
• 24:37
  believer in what it is but the two
• 24:39
  things that i took away that weren't what
• 24:41
  would fall into a good reel are the
• 24:44
  beginning was like a glitchy thing that
• 24:46
  had nothing to do with the message and
• 24:49
  there were there was no action item at
• 24:51
  the end there was no like
• 24:53
  come join us by going to the the
• 24:57
  affiliate map and clicking on a CrossFit
• 24:59
  box near you.
• 25:01
  Or I think that's the piece that was
• 25:03
  missing the most.
• 25:05
  Like,
• 25:05
  how do we put take this cool video
• 25:08
  and push it toward the affiliates?
• 25:13
  Yeah.
• 25:13
  And help them grow.
• 25:15
  And I think that was the piece that
• 25:16
  was missing.
• 25:18
  And after talking it out and thinking
• 25:20
  about it, I was like, that's right,
• 25:22
  it is missing that piece.
• 25:26
  Because, yeah, you're all pumped up,
• 25:28
  but how do I, I'm willing,
• 25:31
  how do I get there?
• 25:34
  Yeah, I think that's a good point.
• 25:36
  So what do they need to do?
• 25:37
  Link the affiliate map in those videos?
• 25:40
  Yes.
• 25:42
  Yeah.
• 25:43
  Or add a five seconds,
• 25:45
  cut out a couple of the action shots
• 25:48
  and add a five second,
• 25:51
  go to crossfit.com and click on the
• 25:52
  affiliate map.
• 25:53
  Yeah.
• 25:55
  If you're willing, we're ready for you.
• 25:57
  Yeah.
• 26:02
  So,
• 26:03
  and then I heard another argument that,
• 26:05
  um, and it goes with what, uh,
• 26:09
  Clooney's is saying, uh,
• 26:14
  It seems like it's all marketing for
• 26:16
  current CrossFitters.
• 26:17
  I heard someone talk about that.
• 26:18
  That's how CrossFit grew initially by
• 26:21
  getting the base pumped up and let them
• 26:24
  go tell everybody else about it and to
• 26:26
  bring them into the affiliate.
• 26:29
  But I don't know if we can go
• 26:30
  back to that again.
• 26:32
  Right.
• 26:32
  Because I think like the genie's out of
• 26:34
  the bottle and you have to like show
• 26:36
  them that it's a fun place to be
• 26:40
  with other people.
• 26:43
  Right.
• 26:46
  And so I think that is so that's
• 26:50
  where I do agree with Hiller.
• 26:51
  I do think there needs to be an
• 26:52
  action item at the end of like,
• 26:54
  how do you get to the affiliate?
• 26:57
  And it's okay to pump up the base
• 27:00
  and let them tell more people again.
• 27:02
  But we need more than that now.
• 27:05
  Agreed.
• 27:05
  I mean,
• 27:06
  I think that's sort of what we talked
• 27:07
  about last week.
• 27:07
  And that's kind of our problem is
• 27:11
  we we aren't reaching new people we aren't
• 27:14
  reaching the people we need to reach like
• 27:16
  it just is this echo chamber of ourselves
• 27:18
  who already love the methodology um yeah i
• 27:22
  don't know how you grow it at this
• 27:25
  point we're missing something
• 27:28
  Well,
• 27:28
  I feel like there's just so many options
• 27:30
  out there for people.
• 27:31
  There's the F-Forty-Five,
• 27:32
  there's the Orange Theory,
• 27:32
  there's the CrossFit,
• 27:33
  there's this and that, right?
• 27:35
  Alpha classes.
• 27:36
  So maybe it's something that's, like,
• 27:38
  what are the differences with what you're
• 27:40
  getting out of all of those?
• 27:41
  And, like, why is ours, you know,
• 27:46
  the best?
• 27:46
  Or maybe something that's, like,
• 27:48
  kind of more explanatory in terms of what
• 27:51
  you're really getting from CrossFit and...
• 27:55
  how it separates.
• 27:56
  Cause I think all of these,
• 27:57
  like we're just assuming that everyone
• 27:58
  just knows what it is, but I think,
• 28:03
  yeah.
• 28:03
  Cause I think people just don't know where
• 28:05
  to like, how to start, where to go.
• 28:08
  I mean,
• 28:09
  it still has that negative connotation.
• 28:13
  It does.
• 28:13
  Expensive injury.
• 28:16
  It's hard.
• 28:17
  There's a lot,
• 28:18
  there's a large barrier of entry for
• 28:20
  people who are
• 28:22
  just hearing about it.
• 28:23
  They're just like,
• 28:24
  nothing's drawing them in.
• 28:26
  Yeah.
• 28:26
  The movements are too difficult.
• 28:27
  I can't do that.
• 28:28
  I'm not in a, in good enough shape.
• 28:31
  Um, and the injuries, um,
• 28:34
  Wayne's Wayne short says needs an ending
• 28:38
  like mayhem, uh,
• 28:39
  that they ran during crash.
• 28:41
  When you're ready,
• 28:42
  we have a spot for you.
• 28:44
  I did like that.
• 28:47
  I agree.
• 28:49
  Um,
• 28:50
  larry young either way i'm very happy
• 28:52
  they're trying to bring the edge back yeah
• 28:57
  um all the moves lately are fantastic just
• 28:59
  praying the open is a little more like
• 29:00
  the old opens it was a big deal
• 29:03
  like you better get ready for the open
• 29:04
  is coming um
• 29:07
  Here's where I think you just have to
• 29:08
  shift your mindset, though.
• 29:10
  The days of the five-week open are over.
• 29:14
  You have to look at it.
• 29:16
  The open now is the three-week open with
• 29:18
  quarterfinals.
• 29:21
  And that is the entire open.
• 29:24
  And so the first three weeks are you
• 29:28
  trying to get into the top twenty-five
• 29:29
  percent to be able to complete the last
• 29:32
  two weeks of the open,
• 29:33
  which is really just a long weekend of
• 29:35
  like four or five
• 29:37
  elements but i think that you have to
• 29:39
  change your mindset into believing that
• 29:41
  that is the full open now yeah i
• 29:49
  agree with that um um aaron frazier my
• 29:56
  affiliate has new people join all the time
• 29:58
  but most don't stay for more than three
• 30:00
  months and that's i then you i think
• 30:04
  the affiliate then has to ask themselves
• 30:06
  Yeah.
• 30:07
  What,
• 30:07
  what are we doing where they're not
• 30:09
  wanting to stay?
• 30:12
  Yeah.
• 30:13
  I feel like it takes at least three
• 30:14
  months for people to, we,
• 30:17
  we sell our new,
• 30:18
  our like new member package is a three
• 30:20
  month package.
• 30:20
  Cause most people don't see the benefit of
• 30:23
  it in a month or two.
• 30:25
  And I mean, even three months is,
• 30:27
  is pushing it,
• 30:28
  but like you have to get into a
• 30:31
  routine and,
• 30:33
  most people are a little like too hesitant
• 30:35
  to start out for more than three times
• 30:37
  a week um you kind of have to
• 30:40
  build up to four maybe five times a
• 30:42
  week and get into that schedule and
• 30:45
  consistency um yeah i don't know i'd be
• 30:50
  curious what's going on with your
• 30:51
  affiliate why why they lose people because
• 30:53
  you should be you should by three months
• 30:55
  be able to get them bought in yeah
• 31:02
  I like this.
• 31:03
  This is me.
• 31:05
  David Reed.
• 31:06
  I never get injured because of CrossFit.
• 31:08
  I get injured because I'm stupid.
• 31:11
  Yeah.
• 31:11
  Yeah.
• 31:11
  And ego and thinking that you should be
• 31:14
  able to do this,
• 31:15
  but you're not there yet, you know?
• 31:17
  You know,
• 31:17
  most of my back things have been because
• 31:20
  I lifted a laundry basket,
• 31:21
  not because I dead lifted,
• 31:23
  but because when you're,
• 31:24
  we think you're strong now in your home,
• 31:27
  just doing something routine,
• 31:29
  you don't set yourself to lift it.
• 31:31
  Right.
• 31:32
  You lean off to the side and like,
• 31:35
  try to, yeah.
• 31:38
  Yes, for sure.
• 31:41
  Um,
• 31:43
  And then Clooney's makes a good point.
• 31:45
  The most viewed video on all CrossFit
• 31:47
  YouTube channels is what is CrossFit?
• 31:49
  People still don't know what CrossFit is.
• 31:54
  And I think that's the elimination of the
• 31:57
  media team.
• 31:58
  While it may have gotten too big in
• 32:00
  two thousand eighteen and may needed to do
• 32:02
  be reduced a little bit.
• 32:04
  I don't know.
• 32:05
  I didn't work there.
• 32:06
  I don't know how many people were
• 32:07
  employed, but.
• 32:09
  they were starting to put out a lot
• 32:11
  of videos with like,
• 32:13
  eight year old grandmothers deadlifting
• 32:15
  and working out.
• 32:16
  And I think that was starting to tell
• 32:19
  people what it was.
• 32:21
  And right when we were heading in that
• 32:22
  direction is when they cut the media.
• 32:24
  Yep.
• 32:27
  And then we lost all that.
• 32:28
  And we went to the blue jugs and
• 32:30
  the couch.
• 32:31
  Yep.
• 32:33
  And then it, it looked asinine,
• 32:36
  to be honest.
• 32:38
  I know what he was trying to accomplish
• 32:40
  with that,
• 32:42
  that you don't even need weights to do
• 32:44
  it.
• 32:44
  You just need to do the movements,
• 32:46
  but it just, it didn't come across well.
• 32:49
  But I do think that they needed like,
• 32:50
  like they, they could go in a,
• 32:52
  in a campaign that's like,
• 32:53
  what is CrossFit?
• 32:54
  And then more like updated version of it,
• 32:58
  even though like CrossFit hasn't changed,
• 33:00
  but just like a new,
• 33:01
  a new campaign that's like fresh.
• 33:04
  And just like explaining the basics of,
• 33:07
  you know,
• 33:07
  taking all of these elements from like
• 33:10
  weightlifting or power lifting or throwing
• 33:14
  body movements like calisthenics and
• 33:16
  gymnastics and cardio and just combining
• 33:19
  them in thoughtful combinations, you know,
• 33:22
  to produce the best adaptation.
• 33:26
  And then you have different types of
• 33:28
  people doing the movements and then also
• 33:31
  maybe like functional movements and like
• 33:33
  how you see them doing like a deadlift
• 33:35
  and then you see like the grandpa doing
• 33:37
  grabbing something from the floor.
• 33:39
  Like I, you know,
• 33:39
  like that Christmas commercial that with
• 33:41
  that kettlebell,
• 33:42
  like always comes to mind,
• 33:43
  like almost like adding something like
• 33:45
  that to like,
• 33:46
  what is CrossFit and how it's transferable
• 33:48
  to everyday activities to just win at
• 33:51
  life,
• 33:52
  I think would be a good next campaign.
• 33:55
  Yeah.
• 33:56
  The two messages I wish that would be
• 33:58
  conveyed are that CrossFit is what you
• 34:02
  want it to be.
• 34:04
  Like, you know,
• 34:05
  cause you can scale everything.
• 34:07
  So,
• 34:08
  It can be whatever you need it to
• 34:10
  be in that time.
• 34:11
  And the other thing I think that needs
• 34:13
  to be pushed is skinny is not healthy.
• 34:18
  Like being able to lift that baby at
• 34:21
  Christmas because he worked out and that
• 34:23
  didn't come from being skinny.
• 34:26
  It became from moving and lifting that
• 34:28
  kettlebell so that he could lift the baby
• 34:30
  up over his head.
• 34:32
  Right?
• 34:34
  Right.
• 34:36
  Because I think like with the GLP ones,
• 34:39
  everybody's promoting skinny and they're
• 34:43
  calling it healthy.
• 34:45
  Being skinny doesn't make you healthy.
• 34:47
  Oh no.
• 34:47
  There's the skinny.
• 34:49
  There's so many other aspects to health
• 34:51
  for sure.
• 34:52
  Other than then now that can weight loss
• 34:56
  can truly is a big component to getting
• 34:59
  you there,
• 35:00
  but it's just one of the components.
• 35:05
  Yeah.
• 35:19
  The larger picture is it's not just
• 35:22
  working out.
• 35:22
  It's health and friendships and support.
• 35:25
  Yeah.
• 35:26
  Vicki, as always,
• 35:27
  you said it better than I do.
• 35:31
  And Fergie with the weekly question to
• 35:33
  Jamie.
• 35:35
  Jamie,
• 35:35
  would you rather sit in the middle seat
• 35:38
  to Scotland between two strong men or do
• 35:41
  acid bath workout every day for a week?
• 35:44
  I mean,
• 35:45
  you could do acid bath every week,
• 35:47
  every day and not at the true intensity
• 35:51
  and just get through it.
• 35:53
  So, I mean, I'd lean there, but like,
• 35:55
  does this mean I get to go to
• 35:56
  Scotland for free?
• 35:57
  Cause I think I might deal with that.
• 36:01
  Well, and you know,
• 36:03
  I know you guys don't believe me,
• 36:04
  but Jamie is, is not big.
• 36:06
  She is tiny.
• 36:08
  If anybody could fit in the middle seat
• 36:09
  between Brian Shaw and Thor, it's Jamie.
• 36:13
  But Jamie's jacked.
• 36:14
  She is.
• 36:15
  She is.
• 36:15
  She's not tiny.
• 36:16
  Cause when I would go next to her,
• 36:19
  I'd be like, damn, Jamie, you're jacked.
• 36:22
  Making me feel a little small.
• 36:27
  Yeah.
• 36:27
  I didn't say her muscles were small.
• 36:29
  I'm just like the overall Jamie is it's,
• 36:33
  it's a lot in a little package.
• 36:36
  Did you guys pick your seat on that
• 36:38
  Rogue plane?
• 36:39
  I did not.
• 36:40
  No.
• 36:42
  Craig says he picked Tenby.
• 36:43
  I don't even know.
• 36:44
  I think that's the Ariel and Danny Spiegel
• 36:46
  seat.
• 36:46
  That one got a lot of votes.
• 36:54
  Yeah, I can't even,
• 36:55
  I wish I could pull it up and
• 36:57
  we could actually ask the question, but...
• 37:01
  So the next big story of the week
• 37:04
  and cause some back and forth in our
• 37:06
  chat group is Dallin Pepper announced that
• 37:08
  he is not going to be at Rogue
• 37:10
  because he contracted Rabdo.
• 37:16
  And he says during the Waterpalooza SoCal
• 37:19
  bike event,
• 37:22
  and this caused some debate back and forth
• 37:28
  publicly on the internet,
• 37:29
  it
• 37:30
  There are people like John Wood and people
• 37:32
  like Hiller saying that it's too many
• 37:35
  competitions in a year.
• 37:38
  And why I wanted to bring that up
• 37:40
  is because my friend Carolyn has a
• 37:43
  different take on that.
• 37:44
  And I would really like to give her
• 37:45
  the floor to be able to talk about
• 37:47
  that.
• 37:47
  Well,
• 37:47
  I don't think it's not like a different
• 37:49
  take.
• 37:50
  I don't think it's necessarily the amount
• 37:52
  of competitions.
• 37:55
  But I do think that there's something with
• 37:56
  the volume that just a lot of these
• 37:58
  athletes are training at in general.
• 38:01
  But you could have Rabdo at any point
• 38:03
  in the year with a lot of training
• 38:06
  or limited training.
• 38:09
  A lot of it happens when you're
• 38:10
  dehydrated.
• 38:11
  It is a factor.
• 38:12
  And the symptoms of it don't start until
• 38:15
  twenty four hours to even forty twenty
• 38:17
  four to like seventy two hours after you
• 38:20
  took, you know,
• 38:22
  place in some sort of very hard activity
• 38:25
  and stuff like that.
• 38:26
  I had rhabdo one time in twenty nineteen
• 38:28
  one time.
• 38:28
  The only time I've ever had it at
• 38:31
  the CrossFit Games.
• 38:32
  I it wasn't from like.
• 38:39
  it was, it was a combination of things.
• 38:40
  I didn't train outside.
• 38:42
  I trained everything indoors.
• 38:44
  Like I didn't have access to an out,
• 38:46
  like a lot of outdoor activities when I
• 38:48
  was training for the games that year.
• 38:50
  And I was very dehydrated.
• 38:51
  Everything was outside the sun.
• 38:53
  And then you mix that in with high
• 38:55
  volume workout, like Mary.
• 38:58
  And yeah, it took like,
• 39:00
  it took almost a month for me to
• 39:02
  learn how to do a pull-up after,
• 39:03
  but yeah,
• 39:04
  Like it's very hard to say that or
• 39:06
  like make a conclusion that it's just
• 39:09
  because they're competing too much.
• 39:10
  Like,
• 39:10
  I don't know that you can really say
• 39:14
  that.
• 39:14
  Like it's not happening to everyone and
• 39:16
  you could do one competition and it
• 39:18
  happens.
• 39:18
  Like I wasn't, you know,
• 39:20
  it could happen to anyone.
• 39:21
  It happened to a WNBA player.
• 39:23
  The best point,
• 39:24
  the best female point guard,
• 39:26
  Kelsey Mitchell,
• 39:28
  she had robbed out in the semifinals of
• 39:31
  this year's playoffs.
• 39:32
  Like,
• 39:33
  She just started cramping up at the
• 39:36
  basketball game and then like got taken
• 39:39
  off.
• 39:39
  And like,
• 39:41
  I just think it can happen to a
• 39:43
  lot of people, not just like CrossFit,
• 39:45
  like anytime you're exerting yourself.
• 39:47
  And a lot of times those symptoms have
• 39:49
  started maybe earlier on,
• 39:51
  like the day before a couple of days
• 39:53
  before with heat, dehydration,
• 39:54
  high volume.
• 39:57
  So he could just be worn down from
• 39:58
  training as well.
• 39:59
  Not necessarily the competition part,
• 40:01
  but that workout was extremely hard.
• 40:03
  And he's pushing himself to the,
• 40:04
  to the max.
• 40:06
  Aaron Frazier says,
• 40:07
  if you listen to Matt Torres this morning
• 40:09
  on WOD prep,
• 40:10
  he said that they could tell something was
• 40:12
  building leading up to Waza.
• 40:15
  The fifty cow bike was just the final
• 40:17
  straw.
• 40:17
  Yeah.
• 40:19
  I wish I could have kept up with
• 40:20
  WOD prep.
• 40:21
  They were knocking shows out this weekend.
• 40:24
  Live from that coach of Palooza or coach
• 40:27
  a thon or,
• 40:29
  whatever it was called.
• 40:31
  Um, affiliate thon.
• 40:34
  Yeah.
• 40:34
  Something like, yeah.
• 40:36
  Um, uh, cause I,
• 40:39
  I'm really starting to like CJ and Claire
• 40:41
  doing that show.
• 40:43
  Um, I,
• 40:44
  I just could not keep up this weekend,
• 40:47
  especially being down a laptop.
• 40:50
  Um,
• 40:53
  Grant, you weren't paying attention.
• 40:55
  Carolyn said she had rat rub dough at
• 40:57
  the two thousand nineteen CrossFit Games
• 40:59
  out in the sun all day.
• 41:01
  Big wad like Mary didn't start like Mary
• 41:04
  was the final string.
• 41:06
  Like my arms were stuck like this for,
• 41:09
  you know,
• 41:09
  many days where I couldn't even extend
• 41:10
  them and swollen, but.
• 41:13
  it started with like the ruck run being
• 41:15
  you know middle of the day then like
• 41:17
  I just remember like after that that event
• 41:20
  like I'm drinking water and as soon as
• 41:22
  the cold water touches me like I just
• 41:23
  like was losing control of my body and
• 41:25
  like it started early on that day and
• 41:27
  then like Mary was like in the evening
• 41:29
  and that's like the last thing um
• 41:33
  but i'm assuming for like like someone
• 41:35
  said uh torres said about dallin like i
• 41:38
  would have started prior to that event and
• 41:41
  maybe even a couple days before or even
• 41:43
  weeks before that some symptoms are
• 41:45
  starting to come and that's just the final
• 41:47
  straw is that hard hard intense workout
• 41:51
  with all of those machines and burpees and
• 41:54
  stuff but since i yeah it can happen
• 41:57
  in a car accident like it
• 41:59
  I don't think you can blame it on
• 42:01
  these athletes are competing too much.
• 42:03
  Like,
• 42:04
  I think it can happen to anyone at
• 42:06
  any time if you're, like, yeah.
• 42:11
  My apologies.
• 42:12
  It was AffiliateCon, like Comic-Con,
• 42:15
  like those types of things.
• 42:16
  Yeah, sorry.
• 42:18
  I was getting it mixed up with Coaches
• 42:19
  Congress and trying to figure out
• 42:21
  whatever.
• 42:22
  But, yeah,
• 42:23
  CrossFit says naming event like my dad
• 42:27
  says Chipotle.
• 42:28
  Chipotle.
• 42:30
  instead of Chipotle.
• 42:31
  Yeah.
• 42:38
  So my question is,
• 42:40
  if you know it's coming,
• 42:43
  is there is there a way to like
• 42:44
  stop it is or is there too much
• 42:46
  pressure to go into the event?
• 42:53
  Like, you know what I'm saying?
• 42:56
  Or is it like you're like,
• 42:57
  you're like your aunt,
• 42:58
  since you were at the games,
• 43:00
  if you felt like you're not going to
• 43:02
  quit the games, right?
• 43:04
  No,
• 43:04
  but the symptoms often come about like
• 43:06
  twenty four hours to like seventy two
• 43:08
  hours after.
• 43:09
  It's like I still did the sprinting event
• 43:12
  that following day.
• 43:14
  And I woke up that morning.
• 43:15
  I mean,
• 43:16
  I heard my cap on the on the
• 43:17
  Mary event like a.
• 43:19
  coming down from the, from the rig,
• 43:21
  but regardless of the calf issue that I
• 43:23
  was having,
• 43:24
  like my arms felt very heavy and like
• 43:26
  I was having trouble like extending them.
• 43:28
  I was like, oh, they're sore.
• 43:29
  But like,
• 43:30
  like I just felt like my upper body
• 43:32
  was stuck.
• 43:33
  And then the following day it was getting
• 43:35
  worse and worse.
• 43:36
  Whereas like when you have DOMS, like,
• 43:38
  you know, that peak, you know,
• 43:41
  moment where like your muscles is sore is
• 43:43
  like, you know, a day or two after,
• 43:47
  and then it gets better after.
• 43:48
  Like when you have rhabdo,
• 43:49
  it gets worse and worse and worse.
• 43:52
  So it's like started feeling it the next
• 43:54
  day of Mary, not right after Mary.
• 43:56
  Like I was cramping a little bit like
• 43:58
  in my calf after Mary because I had
• 44:01
  fallen from the rig weird.
• 44:02
  But I didn't know that I was having
• 44:05
  rhabdo,
• 44:05
  like that I was going to have rhabdo
• 44:06
  at that point.
• 44:07
  You don't,
• 44:07
  like it starts a little bit later.
• 44:10
  It's almost like it's too late at that
• 44:12
  point.
• 44:12
  And if you didn't hydrate as well and
• 44:14
  like, I don't know.
• 44:19
  um fergie's asking the granite games i
• 44:21
  think i missed it it flew by um
• 44:24
  that was twenty twenty two when granite
• 44:27
  games had the big heat wave at like
• 44:29
  a hundred and ten degrees on that football
• 44:31
  field and christy had the bad time there
• 44:34
  saxon was actually like helped off the
• 44:37
  field after the final event of the one
• 44:40
  night it that it was crazy hot there
• 44:43
  but that was twenty twenty two not twenty
• 44:45
  nineteen um
• 44:49
  think i'm curious if larry doesn't have a
• 44:51
  point here um go ahead i've never looked
• 44:58
  but curious if high protein intake like
• 45:00
  athletes do contributes to kidneys can't
• 45:02
  keep up comps maybe cut back like he's
• 45:06
  saying at comps maybe they should cut back
• 45:08
  on like the extreme protein intake focus
• 45:11
  on like on carb yeah i could see
• 45:14
  that a little bit i mean
• 45:18
  It's a lot for the kidneys to process.
• 45:23
  And Eric Frazier, looking back,
• 45:25
  they say Dallin's heart rate to
• 45:29
  sustainable paces were way off leading
• 45:31
  into the event.
• 45:32
  Looking back, they make the connection.
• 45:34
  So he's saying that they now looking back
• 45:37
  at the data they had from before,
• 45:39
  they can make the connection as to why
• 45:40
  he got there.
• 45:41
  It wasn't like they knew that day that
• 45:43
  he was leading up to it,
• 45:45
  I think is what he's saying.
• 45:49
  Um, I just think that there's,
• 45:50
  there's just like so many factors and it's
• 45:52
  very like,
• 45:54
  like per case by case on things that
• 45:57
  can happen.
• 45:57
  I think it's just hard to like,
• 46:00
  to yeah.
• 46:01
  Make that conclusion on what really went
• 46:04
  wrong with X, Y, and Z on everyone.
• 46:09
  yeah all right so i wanted to get
• 46:11
  that out because i we're going heading
• 46:14
  into factor fiction and my first factor
• 46:17
  fiction is going to um involve this piece
• 46:23
  so here we go factor fiction the wfp
• 46:27
  has taken too many hits this week with
• 46:29
  the pepper conversation the withdrawals
• 46:32
  etc and now have a bigger hole to
• 46:35
  dig out of
• 46:36
  Before I answer,
• 46:37
  what's the pepper conversation?
• 46:39
  The Rabdo.
• 46:41
  Oh,
• 46:41
  because he's not competing at the
• 46:42
  following WFP?
• 46:44
  No.
• 46:46
  The Rabdo has not affected his WFP
• 46:48
  participation at this point.
• 46:49
  But people are saying too many
• 46:51
  competitions in the year.
• 46:53
  All of that.
• 46:54
  So that's what I'm talking about,
• 46:55
  the conversation.
• 46:57
  And then we have Haley and Victor Hoffer's
• 46:59
  withdrawals from WFP championships.
• 47:03
  And that's it.
• 47:08
  I mean... I think fiction.
• 47:10
  I don't know if it's really this week.
• 47:12
  I'm not surprised by Hayley not going
• 47:15
  there.
• 47:15
  She's not going to get her pro card
• 47:16
  after missing two events.
• 47:20
  Emma McQuaid's not going to have her pro
• 47:22
  card as well.
• 47:23
  Victor Hoffer probably not having his pro
• 47:25
  card.
• 47:26
  He tried to come back with his knee,
• 47:27
  but it's just not there.
• 47:31
  I don't know.
• 47:32
  I kind of feel like fiction too.
• 47:34
  I don't know if these are...
• 47:37
  going to stop it from growing per se.
• 47:40
  I mean,
• 47:40
  are there some athletes thinking through
• 47:42
  this and being like,
• 47:44
  I don't know if I want to be
• 47:45
  involved in two seasons and do this much.
• 47:47
  Maybe.
• 47:49
  But again, I think, I mean, until...
• 47:52
  they get through the season and we figure
• 47:53
  out what next season looks like.
• 47:54
  And are they,
• 47:56
  are they being transparent with the amount
• 47:58
  per contract?
• 48:00
  There's going to be other things that are
• 48:01
  going to make this flop or, or not.
• 48:04
  And I don't think that this is causing
• 48:07
  a bigger hole.
• 48:08
  Have we had any information on, like,
• 48:10
  are they paying out, like,
• 48:11
  have they been paying out the athletes on
• 48:12
  time and stuff like that?
• 48:13
  Like, I haven't heard of anything.
• 48:15
  Do they wait for the season to be
• 48:16
  done?
• 48:17
  Do they get their money up front?
• 48:19
  Well,
• 48:19
  I'm assuming not their money up front
• 48:20
  because if you don't go to a competition,
• 48:23
  you don't get it.
• 48:24
  Right.
• 48:25
  Just curious how that works.
• 48:26
  I have not heard that they have not
• 48:27
  been doing that.
• 48:29
  So I'm assuming that if they the payouts
• 48:31
  were due now,
• 48:32
  they are making the payments in time.
• 48:35
  And I know the people behind it have
• 48:36
  the money.
• 48:37
  So it's not like and they knew they
• 48:39
  were going to lose money going into year
• 48:41
  one.
• 48:42
  I mean, that was,
• 48:44
  so I think that that is probably not
• 48:46
  a factor at all.
• 48:48
  Here's where I think it,
• 48:49
  here's where I think the biggest thing is.
• 48:52
  One,
• 48:52
  I think Haley is a demonstration that
• 48:55
  people are already making this decision to
• 48:57
  go one way or another.
• 48:59
  And Laura too.
• 49:00
  Laura, though, is going all WFP.
• 49:03
  Haley's decided all CrossFit Games.
• 49:06
  And so I think that there are people
• 49:08
  making the decision already to go all in
• 49:10
  one way or another.
• 49:12
  The other thing is,
• 49:14
  I think that this too many competitions
• 49:16
  conversation is growing.
• 49:18
  If you listen to Boys Interrupted,
• 49:20
  when they went to tour stop two,
• 49:23
  a lot of them said that they were
• 49:24
  not into it like they thought they would
• 49:26
  be, that they just wanted a break.
• 49:29
  And I think that with them adding a
• 49:31
  fourth location next year,
• 49:34
  that is only going to amplify that
• 49:36
  conversation.
• 49:37
  And we may have more people choose one
• 49:41
  side or another.
• 49:43
  as opposed to trying to do both.
• 49:46
  So I do think that there's a little
• 49:48
  bit of a PR hole that they have
• 49:50
  to address and try to figure out a
• 49:52
  solution to.
• 49:54
  I don't think they're going away before
• 49:58
  the conclusion of next season,
• 50:00
  but I do think that it's a PR
• 50:01
  thing that they're going to have to
• 50:02
  address.
• 50:06
  That's my opinion.
• 50:10
  Vicky says pencil.
• 50:11
  Now, doggone it.
• 50:12
  I'm trying to get people in the right
• 50:13
  game.
• 50:16
  I was going to do pencil, pen,
• 50:18
  Sharpie this week,
• 50:19
  but the statements just didn't lend itself
• 50:21
  to that answer this week.
• 50:24
  We'll go back to it, though.
• 50:25
  I promise.
• 50:29
  The original Space Cowboy.
• 50:31
  Eventually,
• 50:32
  that annoying fly either gets swatted or
• 50:34
  just goes away.
• 50:35
  And I'm probably the only one old enough
• 50:37
  to know what that joke was there,
• 50:39
  but okay.
• 50:51
  Doing this touchscreen is not fun.
• 50:55
  CrossFat says,
• 50:57
  feels like the WFP is trending toward
• 50:59
  becoming a European tour.
• 51:02
  I agree with that.
• 51:04
  I don't think so for next year.
• 51:07
  Inviting winners from the comps over
• 51:10
  there,
• 51:10
  I feel like that's what they're pulling
• 51:12
  towards.
• 51:12
  Well, that makes sense, though.
• 51:15
  Because the finals are over there.
• 51:16
  The final is there,
• 51:17
  so you have competitions going on right
• 51:19
  now.
• 51:20
  If your pool of athletes for the team
• 51:22
  divisions and stuff is so low,
• 51:23
  you may as well start using those
• 51:26
  competitions and inviting people to your
• 51:30
  event because they'll bring, hopefully,
• 51:32
  family and friends and spectators.
• 51:36
  So I think that makes sense.
• 51:37
  I don't think it's turning into a
• 51:38
  European,
• 51:39
  but I think it's very –
• 51:42
  attractive for Europeans to be going on
• 51:45
  this, um, tour.
• 51:49
  Cause a lot of them did, um,
• 51:51
  decide not to do the season this year.
• 51:52
  I,
• 51:54
  that's where I think the it's coming from
• 51:57
  is a lot of the Europeans backed out
• 51:58
  of the games or don't want anything to
• 52:01
  do with CrossFit proper.
• 52:04
  And this is,
• 52:06
  this is the alternative for them.
• 52:10
  Um,
• 52:12
  I guess I really need to see this
• 52:13
  show.
• 52:15
  Torres talked about this as well.
• 52:17
  Basically said all his athletes are
• 52:19
  prioritizing the twenty twenty six game
• 52:21
  season.
• 52:23
  It doesn't mean they're not doing WFP.
• 52:26
  He just says they're prioritizing.
• 52:27
  Did you see Nick Matthews is Brute now
• 52:30
  as well?
• 52:31
  I did not.
• 52:33
  Wow.
• 52:34
  He switched to Brute.
• 52:35
  He was proven.
• 52:36
  I believe.
• 52:39
  Yeah, he had a Brute shirt,
• 52:42
  so his video was cutting a crop top.
• 52:46
  You wouldn't expect anything other than
• 52:48
  that for him.
• 52:50
  I don't know which coach he's working
• 52:51
  with.
• 52:54
  I saw a clip from girls in the
• 52:56
  box office saying that now that Brute
• 52:59
  doesn't have a headquarters,
• 53:00
  they're not hot anymore.
• 53:02
  In the hot, not hot.
• 53:03
  Come on.
• 53:04
  They just signed Nick Matthew.
• 53:06
  They just signed Emma Lawson.
• 53:08
  They're not hurting.
• 53:11
  they're they are going to be a force
• 53:12
  to reckon with um dylan fee james love
• 53:16
  matt torres yeah they have the like three
• 53:19
  of the best male athletes in our sport
• 53:21
  right now too like it's yeah yeah they're
• 53:25
  growing they're doing very well yeah
• 53:26
  they're going to stay hot for a while
• 53:29
  i mean they're doing something right plus
• 53:31
  as i've said dylan pepper is my favorite
• 53:33
  athlete in the whole wide world and
• 53:37
  Because he told people they should watch
• 53:38
  our show.
• 53:43
  Yeah.
• 53:43
  And Hattie's there too.
• 53:45
  Yeah.
• 53:47
  Kenneth, some people call me Maurice.
• 53:49
  He got my joke.
• 53:50
  All right.
• 53:56
  But Brute is becoming the University of
• 53:59
  Phoenix online.
• 54:04
  But isn't everybody...
• 54:07
  I mean,
• 54:08
  really the only one with like a true
• 54:09
  headquarters is maybe proven,
• 54:12
  but none of their athletes work out there
• 54:14
  like all year.
• 54:16
  Tia and the group are even in Australia
• 54:19
  now.
• 54:19
  I mean, Mayhem.
• 54:21
  Mayhem.
• 54:21
  Quite a bit of athletes that are on
• 54:23
  the spot there.
• 54:25
  But until Austin was dating Haley,
• 54:28
  he wasn't in Cookville.
• 54:30
  I don't know.
• 54:30
  I mean, he had a pretty –
• 54:35
  Pretty big handful of athletes there.
• 54:38
  Roman, when he was training.
• 54:43
  Vicky said Matt Torres moved back to
• 54:45
  Nashville and said every four weeks he'll
• 54:47
  be meeting with them in person.
• 54:49
  Who's them?
• 54:51
  I think his athletes.
• 54:54
  They're coming to him or he's going to
• 54:56
  all these separate places?
• 54:57
  Yeah,
• 54:58
  because they're all separated in different
• 54:59
  places.
• 54:59
  Yeah, I think he's...
• 55:01
  That's a lot of trouble.
• 55:02
  Maybe one week with Dallin,
• 55:03
  one week with James...
• 55:06
  One week with Fi, one week with Emma.
• 55:18
  So, yeah, Larry Young, you got it too.
• 55:26
  Okay.
• 55:28
  So the next fact or fiction.
• 55:31
  Oh,
• 55:31
  that one took a lot longer than I
• 55:32
  thought.
• 55:32
  Here we go.
• 55:34
  The Henniger should be an example to all
• 55:36
  organizations inside the fitness space of
• 55:39
  how to run your company.
• 55:41
  Oh, fact.
• 55:43
  Yeah, I mean,
• 55:48
  they clearly have a lot of pride in
• 55:51
  their product.
• 55:54
  I mean, that's the people you want.
• 55:56
  Everyone who is a Rogue athlete,
• 55:58
  everyone who works for Rogue...
• 56:02
  loves working or doing the best that they
• 56:05
  can for the Hennigers.
• 56:07
  Like they're doing everything that,
• 56:08
  you know,
• 56:11
  like they're extremely loyal to Rogue.
• 56:16
  And Rogue is very loyal to their athletes
• 56:18
  as well.
• 56:18
  Like still supporting so many of them for
• 56:20
  the Legends division, you know.
• 56:25
  If you did not see,
• 56:26
  so the one podcast I did watch is
• 56:29
  Katie on Coffee Pods and WODs.
• 56:32
  like i one i live in columbus rogue
• 56:35
  is a major player in our city we
• 56:38
  love them to death here they are so
• 56:41
  good to the city and the people who
• 56:42
  work there but what she said in that
• 56:46
  interview i mean just elevated her in my
• 56:49
  point in my view as just a major
• 56:52
  player in leadership um
• 56:57
  And she said things like,
• 56:59
  if I make a handshake agreement with you
• 57:01
  and I look you in the eye,
• 57:03
  then I'm going to do what I said
• 57:04
  I did.
• 57:05
  Yeah.
• 57:07
  And I think if other people took that
• 57:08
  same approach,
• 57:10
  we would be in a much better situation
• 57:13
  in all the different CrossFit pieces.
• 57:19
  She talked about how she watches all the
• 57:21
  other competitions so she can learn from
• 57:23
  those to make hers the best it can
• 57:25
  be.
• 57:27
  Like we've never heard that from other
• 57:29
  people.
• 57:33
  She, it just,
• 57:34
  every time she was approached with a
• 57:36
  subject, she just nailed the answer.
• 57:39
  And, and she also said like, they're not,
• 57:43
  they're not coming,
• 57:43
  going back to Scotland next year because
• 57:45
  two years is enough.
• 57:46
  They need to move around and give more
• 57:48
  people the opportunity to attend these
• 57:50
  events.
• 57:52
  And I, and I thought that was awesome.
• 57:53
  Yeah, that is awesome.
• 57:54
  That's a great way to look at that.
• 57:59
  And she said, two years is perfect.
• 58:01
  It gives us,
• 58:04
  we know what we can set it up
• 58:06
  the first year.
• 58:07
  We know what we're getting into year two.
• 58:09
  And then we move to a new location
• 58:11
  to try new things.
• 58:17
  I also think it keeps it fresh.
• 58:18
  If you always do it at the same
• 58:19
  place,
• 58:20
  although like I love Madison for the
• 58:21
  games,
• 58:23
  like people want to have an excuse to
• 58:25
  go visit different places.
• 58:26
  Once you visited once,
• 58:28
  oftentimes like you want to go somewhere
• 58:30
  else for the following year,
• 58:31
  just a new place, a new,
• 58:33
  like new memories.
• 58:34
  So I don't mind them, you know,
• 58:36
  going a couple of years in Aberdeen and
• 58:37
  then going something like another,
• 58:41
  another venue,
• 58:42
  never another place and more options for
• 58:44
  workouts and stuff like that.
• 58:48
  Yeah, like she said, she watched Crash.
• 58:50
  She says she watches, like, Wadapalooza.
• 58:54
  Like,
• 58:54
  she watches all the events to learn from.
• 58:59
  And I just thought it was cool.
• 59:03
  But the one thing that, you know,
• 59:04
  we questioned why they didn't have a
• 59:05
  bigger presence at the age group games.
• 59:08
  And when she talked about that they were
• 59:11
  still unpacking from the games at that
• 59:14
  point and loading up for Scotland at that
• 59:18
  point to get the stuff on the ships
• 59:21
  to get overseas,
• 59:22
  it made more sense to me that, like,
• 59:24
  they were probably pretty...
• 59:28
  thin at that point trying to get
• 59:31
  everything back and out uh for what they
• 59:35
  were doing and you know we we've asked
• 59:38
  about the WFP lighting Rogue takes all
• 59:41
  their own lighting over to Aberdeen that
• 59:44
  whole lighting rig got shipped over to to
• 59:49
  Scotland last year and is getting shipped
• 59:51
  over there again this year
• 59:53
  So she can guarantee that the floor is
• 59:57
  going to be visible for the stream.
• 1:00:03
  That's the detail that is just unreal.
• 1:00:09
  And I just liked it.
• 1:00:18
  Thoughts, Carolyn, or just a breath?
• 1:00:20
  Well, I was going to say,
• 1:00:21
  I would love to see the behind the
• 1:00:22
  scenes day of a life day in the
• 1:00:24
  life of Bill and Katie.
• 1:00:26
  You'll never see it.
• 1:00:27
  I know, but that would be so,
• 1:00:29
  that would be really cool to see just
• 1:00:31
  because they, they're very involved,
• 1:00:33
  like at Rogan, like, you know,
• 1:00:35
  they're not, they're like, yeah, they're,
• 1:00:37
  they're involved.
• 1:00:38
  They're everywhere.
• 1:00:40
  And even when like things are getting
• 1:00:41
  built at the games,
• 1:00:42
  like they're on the floor,
• 1:00:43
  hard hats on doing stuff.
• 1:00:46
  Yeah.
• 1:00:46
  Leading from the front.
• 1:00:47
  So that would be cool to see.
• 1:00:51
  Tristan, I bet they have some wild days.
• 1:00:56
  Yeah,
• 1:00:58
  the stuff they build the stuff that they
• 1:01:00
  like,
• 1:01:01
  it's got to be it's got to be
• 1:01:04
  interesting to just like,
• 1:01:06
  just to see Bill at work with that
• 1:01:08
  creative mind on coming up with something
• 1:01:11
  new.
• 1:01:13
  And just how many things have they tried
• 1:01:15
  that they've scrapped?
• 1:01:17
  yeah that they just they tried to put
• 1:01:19
  together no that ain't gonna work so we
• 1:01:20
  gotta start over um so anyway yeah just
• 1:01:30
  really cool um it's a shame their original
• 1:01:34
  crossfit gym is no longer a crossfit gym
• 1:01:38
  Because it was until like two or three
• 1:01:40
  years ago.
• 1:01:42
  And then CrossFit Grandview moved out of
• 1:01:43
  that location.
• 1:01:46
  So we don't have that anymore.
• 1:01:47
  But, man.
• 1:01:49
  And now they're building on to the factory
• 1:01:52
  so they can get – they had five
• 1:01:54
  buildings in Columbus.
• 1:01:56
  They built the new factory so they could
• 1:01:58
  get down to one.
• 1:01:59
  They've grown so much they're now in four.
• 1:02:02
  And they're building on to the factory
• 1:02:04
  again to get down to one.
• 1:02:09
  That's crazy.
• 1:02:10
  It's so big.
• 1:02:14
  Awesome.
• 1:02:20
  Larry Young, she's such a boss.
• 1:02:22
  Mad props.
• 1:02:24
  They're a super couple.
• 1:02:28
  The coolest story I have with Katie is
• 1:02:30
  I was at Rogue working on the documentary
• 1:02:32
  team.
• 1:02:33
  I had a Penn State shirt on and
• 1:02:35
  she came at me
• 1:02:37
  Because that weekend,
• 1:02:39
  Penn State was playing Ohio State,
• 1:02:40
  and she talked so much mad trash on
• 1:02:42
  me.
• 1:02:44
  And nothing about CrossFit,
• 1:02:46
  nothing about what was going on that day.
• 1:02:49
  She just wanted me to know that her
• 1:02:50
  Buckeyes were going to smash my Penn State
• 1:02:54
  Nittany Alliance.
• 1:02:57
  So much fun.
• 1:02:59
  Sounds like her.
• 1:03:01
  And her banner hangs in the rafters at
• 1:03:03
  the arena because she is a Hall of
• 1:03:05
  Fame Buckeye basketball player.
• 1:03:08
  Yeah,
• 1:03:09
  I think she still has the most points
• 1:03:10
  or something for the Buckeyes.
• 1:03:13
  Yeah, I think someone approached it.
• 1:03:14
  I don't know if they passed it in
• 1:03:16
  the last year.
• 1:03:17
  I think she still has a record.
• 1:03:19
  Okay.
• 1:03:19
  It was close, but yeah,
• 1:03:22
  her jersey retired in the rafters at the
• 1:03:25
  arena here.
• 1:03:26
  And CrossFit Games champion.
• 1:03:29
  So...
• 1:03:30
  She still, she does, um, like, um,
• 1:03:33
  like some broadcasting for the woman's
• 1:03:35
  basketball team.
• 1:03:36
  Oh, nice.
• 1:03:37
  Yeah.
• 1:03:38
  She does.
• 1:03:39
  And we'll travel with the team,
• 1:03:40
  like color commentary and stuff like that.
• 1:03:42
  Her.
• 1:03:42
  Yeah.
• 1:03:43
  That's great at that.
• 1:03:46
  Yeah.
• 1:03:46
  Um, so next one, uh, factor fiction,
• 1:03:50
  the Toronto blue Jays will win the world
• 1:03:52
  series.
• 1:03:52
  I should have worn my Jersey tonight.
• 1:03:55
  Fact.
• 1:03:57
  We got this.
• 1:03:58
  We got this.
• 1:04:02
  I hope they do.
• 1:04:04
  I don't like to see repeat winners.
• 1:04:07
  And the Dodgers dominated so much last
• 1:04:09
  year by sweeping the Yankees.
• 1:04:11
  I'm just glad Toronto won a game,
• 1:04:12
  and I hope they keep winning.
• 1:04:15
  I do feel like a lot of people
• 1:04:17
  are hoping that Toronto wins.
• 1:04:20
  I feel the support from people.
• 1:04:24
  That they want to have an underdog winner.
• 1:04:28
  Yeah.
• 1:04:30
  typically the way it goes.
• 1:04:31
  I don't know.
• 1:04:32
  When the Tigers lost, I stopped watching,
• 1:04:35
  so your guys' guess is as good as
• 1:04:37
  mine.
• 1:04:41
  Yeah.
• 1:04:42
  All right, last one.
• 1:04:45
  Factor Fiction saw speculation in the chat
• 1:04:47
  earlier tonight.
• 1:04:48
  The age group games will be in the
• 1:04:50
  same city as the Elite CrossFit Games one
• 1:04:52
  last time for the twentieth anniversary.
• 1:04:57
  Fiction.
• 1:04:57
  Fiction.
• 1:04:59
  I'm going to say fact because that's what
• 1:05:01
  would happen to me on the year that
• 1:05:05
  I have no way of competing.
• 1:05:07
  It would work out that it's all back
• 1:05:10
  together again and I'm going to miss out.
• 1:05:13
  That's just my luck.
• 1:05:13
  I just don't see it.
• 1:05:15
  I don't see it happening.
• 1:05:20
  I mean,
• 1:05:22
  I don't think it's going to happen.
• 1:05:25
  I want it to happen one last time.
• 1:05:31
  But I don't think it will.
• 1:05:33
  I think they like it separate.
• 1:05:39
  Yeah, I agree.
• 1:05:41
  I don't think CrossFit wants to get them
• 1:05:43
  into the business of doing it again.
• 1:05:44
  Yeah.
• 1:05:51
  Unfortunately, I think you're right,
• 1:05:52
  but I think they need to have their
• 1:05:53
  hands on it.
• 1:05:55
  Cause I think like Bob and Joe are
• 1:05:57
  programming already next year for the
• 1:06:00
  games.
• 1:06:01
  And it seemed like that was what I
• 1:06:05
  think was Dave that said that maybe on
• 1:06:06
  one of the weekend reviews that,
• 1:06:10
  that they were going to have it again
• 1:06:11
  next year.
• 1:06:13
  And I just don't see them being in
• 1:06:15
  the same location as the CrossFit games.
• 1:06:17
  Cause now you have to go around the
• 1:06:18
  scheduling there.
• 1:06:19
  Are you talking about the same weekend or
• 1:06:21
  just same location?
• 1:06:22
  Yeah.
• 1:06:24
  I'm S I was,
• 1:06:25
  when I said it same location,
• 1:06:26
  I meant like the first part of the
• 1:06:28
  week.
• 1:06:29
  Agreed.
• 1:06:30
  And then it would turn over to the
• 1:06:31
  elites at the end of the week.
• 1:06:34
  No, I don't think so.
• 1:06:35
  Not when you have different pro not when
• 1:06:37
  you have outside programmers.
• 1:06:39
  I don't, I don't see that happening.
• 1:06:40
  Well,
• 1:06:40
  maybe he would step in and like review
• 1:06:43
  their programming or give them,
• 1:06:46
  give them some guidance.
• 1:06:50
  Which is what is needed.
• 1:06:51
  They need some, I say fiction on that.
• 1:06:55
  So I didn't put this in Factor Fiction,
• 1:06:56
  but I want to have this discussion because
• 1:06:59
  I threw it out to Jamie.
• 1:07:00
  And as much as I love the Masters
• 1:07:02
  community and everything about the
• 1:07:03
  Masters,
• 1:07:05
  I think the only way it survives is
• 1:07:08
  to turn it into ten-year divisions.
• 1:07:12
  There's just too many heats for that
• 1:07:15
  event.
• 1:07:16
  So you go thirty five to forty four,
• 1:07:19
  forty five to fifty four,
• 1:07:21
  fifty five to sixty four and sixty five
• 1:07:24
  plus.
• 1:07:29
  I actually think that's a good idea.
• 1:07:31
  I haven't heard that one before, but.
• 1:07:35
  Yeah,
• 1:07:35
  it's going to look like those people in
• 1:07:36
  the older age groups are going to get
• 1:07:38
  discouraged that they're not training for
• 1:07:40
  anything like specifically.
• 1:07:46
  I think it's a good idea of like
• 1:07:49
  viewership wise.
• 1:07:53
  But it's hard because I do think that
• 1:07:56
  people love the four year gaps and.
• 1:07:58
  But that's what I would say is.
• 1:08:02
  I would argue that that's what MFC and
• 1:08:05
  winter legends is for the,
• 1:08:07
  to build through that.
• 1:08:08
  And like you get in your five-year
• 1:08:09
  bracket, you get your experience and yeah,
• 1:08:12
  you might have two,
• 1:08:13
  three years off where you aren't making it
• 1:08:14
  to the games, but.
• 1:08:16
  Okay.
• 1:08:17
  That's yeah.
• 1:08:18
  I like that idea.
• 1:08:18
  Yeah.
• 1:08:20
  This is just for the games because it's
• 1:08:23
  special.
• 1:08:23
  Yeah.
• 1:08:24
  Yep.
• 1:08:24
  And then you have these under MFC legends
• 1:08:30
  or whatever, all the masters one.
• 1:08:33
  And those you can have like the four-year
• 1:08:37
  divisions.
• 1:08:39
  Yeah.
• 1:08:40
  But I think that requires it going back
• 1:08:42
  to CrossFit and CrossFit running the whole
• 1:08:44
  thing.
• 1:08:46
  And it means something.
• 1:08:48
  They get the gear, they get all the,
• 1:08:51
  they get the kits, they get that, like,
• 1:08:52
  that's what they need.
• 1:08:54
  Same amount of people?
• 1:08:57
  Yeah.
• 1:08:58
  I mean, it'd probably be what, like,
• 1:09:01
  Which would have equated to the two,
• 1:09:03
  twenty person groups.
• 1:09:05
  Forty.
• 1:09:06
  You're going to get some trickle in from
• 1:09:08
  the forty year old into the end of
• 1:09:11
  the.
• 1:09:12
  I don't I don't think we go up
• 1:09:13
  to forty again.
• 1:09:14
  I don't.
• 1:09:15
  Because then you just have the same.
• 1:09:17
  You're adding the heat back in.
• 1:09:19
  Like, I think it has to be twenty.
• 1:09:22
  Twenty.
• 1:09:23
  No more than twenty.
• 1:09:25
  Yeah.
• 1:09:26
  I don't know.
• 1:09:28
  Can't be more than twenty.
• 1:09:30
  Too many heats.
• 1:09:31
  It's boring.
• 1:09:33
  It's repetitive.
• 1:09:35
  No one wants to watch it unless you're
• 1:09:37
  family.
• 1:09:38
  It wouldn't be.
• 1:09:39
  It'd be half of what we just had.
• 1:09:44
  If you want.
• 1:09:45
  Forty?
• 1:09:46
  We just had forty.
• 1:09:48
  You just had thirty.
• 1:09:53
  Is that all we had?
• 1:09:54
  It wasn't forty?
• 1:09:56
  So it'd be half of last year's.
• 1:09:59
  That was forty.
• 1:10:03
  I think two heats.
• 1:10:03
  So whether it's like heats of twelve and
• 1:10:06
  you can do it twenty-four maybe,
• 1:10:08
  but I still think thirty's a lot.
• 1:10:12
  Yeah, I think for the games, again,
• 1:10:14
  for the games only,
• 1:10:16
  you have to get the heats down.
• 1:10:18
  You have to make it watchable and
• 1:10:20
  palatable.
• 1:10:21
  And I think the only way to do
• 1:10:23
  that is to reduce the divisions and reduce
• 1:10:27
  no more than two heats a division.
• 1:10:34
  but i think with that it comes the
• 1:10:37
  responsibility that you have to clean up
• 1:10:39
  the qualification aspect of it you can't
• 1:10:43
  just go with no review over anything over
• 1:10:46
  or anything
• 1:11:01
  The reason I didn't go with that, Larry,
• 1:11:04
  is I think fifty fifty five is where
• 1:11:06
  the open changes weights.
• 1:11:09
  So if you kept it at the fives,
• 1:11:12
  it's streamlines it because fifty five
• 1:11:14
  goes to lighter weights,
• 1:11:16
  different gymnastics movements after that.
• 1:11:19
  So if you stay with the ten starting
• 1:11:21
  at five,
• 1:11:22
  you keep it in line with that scaling.
• 1:11:25
  Yeah.
• 1:11:28
  I understand his thought process there,
• 1:11:30
  and I somewhat agree, but yes,
• 1:11:33
  unless they switch to the weight changes
• 1:11:36
  over at fifty, it wouldn't make sense.
• 1:11:42
  I don't mind the forty to fifty,
• 1:11:44
  and if you're in your thirties,
• 1:11:46
  you're still going for the Indy,
• 1:11:49
  but I think that having top thirty-five to
• 1:11:53
  thirty-nine year olds,
• 1:11:54
  the level of
• 1:11:57
  fitness is just better to watch like in
• 1:12:00
  the master's division which i don't know
• 1:12:08
  uh andrew stan do you think the scaling
• 1:12:10
  will have to change as athletes like grub
• 1:12:13
  age up it it's it's that age old
• 1:12:18
  question is he open for the tip of
• 1:12:21
  the spear or is he open for everybody
• 1:12:24
  And I think that's where it shouldn't
• 1:12:27
  matter who at the tip of the spear
• 1:12:29
  is getting there.
• 1:12:30
  You should be programming for the top
• 1:12:36
  twenty five percent of the people in that
• 1:12:37
  age group or whatever,
• 1:12:39
  whatever you think the next phase is.
• 1:12:47
  Yeah.
• 1:12:47
  But I also don't think that you have
• 1:12:48
  to concentrate on one outlier.
• 1:12:50
  because it can skew the whole division and
• 1:12:54
  all of a sudden it's not fun to
• 1:12:55
  watch because no one's doing it.
• 1:12:57
  Exactly.
• 1:12:59
  If he's the only one that's just so
• 1:13:01
  far ahead,
• 1:13:02
  he's going to be faster anyways
• 1:13:03
  regardless.
• 1:13:06
  Yeah.
• 1:13:11
  Remind me again if TRT is allowed.
• 1:13:15
  That is a complicated answer.
• 1:13:19
  CRT is allowed.
• 1:13:21
  It is allowed,
• 1:13:23
  but you have to be in a range.
• 1:13:25
  No, it's not.
• 1:13:25
  It's not allowed.
• 1:13:26
  It's not allowed.
• 1:13:28
  You wouldn't test positive is what you're
• 1:13:29
  trying to say.
• 1:13:31
  It's still not allowed.
• 1:13:32
  You can't do it.
• 1:13:33
  You can't do it just until you're at
• 1:13:35
  the max.
• 1:13:36
  That's still doing an external thing into
• 1:13:40
  your body.
• 1:13:41
  It's not allowed.
• 1:13:45
  Even if you're within range and you have
• 1:13:47
  low, you're not allowed to do that.
• 1:13:50
  I'm pretty sure you can't even get a
• 1:13:51
  therapeutic use exemption for it,
• 1:13:53
  even if you were super low.
• 1:13:59
  Slop says there was a medical exemption.
• 1:14:02
  You can get a THU, maybe.
• 1:14:04
  I don't know how that works.
• 1:14:07
  I had a master's athlete on talking about
• 1:14:09
  how it was allowed with a medical
• 1:14:12
  exemption.
• 1:14:16
  So I don't know.
• 1:14:18
  It's one thousand percent used and with
• 1:14:21
  people not having therapeutic usage or
• 1:14:24
  they just are trying to get that.
• 1:14:27
  But they're just not testing enough for
• 1:14:30
  it.
• 1:14:30
  Right.
• 1:14:32
  And it's hard to detect, I'm assuming,
• 1:14:35
  if we aren't having... Well,
• 1:14:36
  if you still fall within the range,
• 1:14:38
  you're not going to pop for it.
• 1:14:39
  But I think you would need a better
• 1:14:42
  test to distinguish between natural and
• 1:14:44
  synthetic or whatever.
• 1:14:46
  Yes.
• 1:14:46
  they're not going to pay for that high
• 1:14:48
  end test.
• 1:14:48
  Yeah.
• 1:14:49
  So extra sloppy says, yeah,
• 1:14:53
  they sent me a whole thing.
• 1:14:55
  I had to give them my labs and
• 1:14:56
  all of that.
• 1:14:59
  See CrossFit is saying one for TRT is
• 1:15:01
  not allowed.
• 1:15:02
  And that was, that was my,
• 1:15:04
  I was under the same impression that,
• 1:15:06
  that, that TRT is not allowed.
• 1:15:08
  Even if you were super low and the
• 1:15:12
  doctor told you,
• 1:15:13
  you needed to be on it.
• 1:15:15
  Like,
• 1:15:16
  You basically,
• 1:15:17
  if that's what you choose to do,
• 1:15:18
  you're taking yourself out of the games.
• 1:15:22
  TRT, peptides, all that.
• 1:15:29
  There's a therapeutic use exemption right
• 1:15:31
  on the CrossFit page.
• 1:15:32
  Yeah, many things can fall under that.
• 1:15:34
  Like people's asthma thingy can fall under
• 1:15:36
  that.
• 1:15:36
  Right, right.
• 1:15:42
  Well, I'll look into it.
• 1:15:43
  Maybe we'll talk about it next week if
• 1:15:45
  Rogue is boring.
• 1:15:46
  It won't be boring.
• 1:15:52
  All right.
• 1:15:52
  Well,
• 1:15:52
  that ends Factor Fiction for this week.
• 1:15:56
  Next week,
• 1:15:56
  I'll try to come up with Pen, Pencil,
• 1:15:58
  and Sharpie because everybody seems to be
• 1:16:01
  so enamored with it.
• 1:16:03
  They're answering that way in the
• 1:16:04
  comments.
• 1:16:07
  Extra Sloppy will forward me the email.
• 1:16:09
  Okay.
• 1:16:11
  Alright, cool.
• 1:16:13
  So Rogue preview.
• 1:16:16
  We already talked about Katie's interview.
• 1:16:18
  Preview the field.
• 1:16:19
  Anybody you see that you think has an
• 1:16:22
  advantage this week at Rogue?
• 1:16:31
  I think Pat is going to do well.
• 1:16:33
  I think he's been on the trending up
• 1:16:36
  with WFP and
• 1:16:40
  Tierra Wadapalooza.
• 1:16:42
  And he just does well at Rogue.
• 1:16:45
  I think he's going to do well.
• 1:16:48
  I'm curious to see how Gazan's going to
• 1:16:50
  do.
• 1:16:51
  First time that we're going to see her
• 1:16:52
  back after NorCal.
• 1:16:54
  She was crushing it prior.
• 1:16:56
  She's someone that can do very well at
• 1:17:00
  Rogue with her strength,
• 1:17:03
  her brute strength and stuff like that.
• 1:17:05
  So curious to see how she'll do.
• 1:17:09
  um i i do agree pat pat's someone
• 1:17:11
  that's just consistent at rogue like he's
• 1:17:14
  he does well there chandler always does
• 1:17:16
  well at rogue yeah is danny going back
• 1:17:23
  i think danny is yeah um yeah because
• 1:17:28
  the people they had on the bus are
• 1:17:30
  all like on the plane that's right were
• 1:17:32
  people that were so yeah danny is there
• 1:17:33
  oh yeah i mean yeah she's yep
• 1:17:37
  And then I'm,
• 1:17:38
  I'm excited to see Jeff because he skipped
• 1:17:43
  WFP.
• 1:17:43
  I'm hoping that he is, you know,
• 1:17:47
  back to his normal self.
• 1:17:50
  He just didn't seem like himself at the
• 1:17:51
  games.
• 1:17:52
  So if he can get back to that,
• 1:17:55
  to that place, I'm excited in that.
• 1:17:57
  And that's going to be exciting going into
• 1:17:59
  the next season.
• 1:18:03
  so i'm going to move ahead to kind
• 1:18:06
  of my picks just because it's who i
• 1:18:09
  think is going to do well okay so
• 1:18:12
  my podium is are these three individuals i
• 1:18:15
  i don't know the exact order yet but
• 1:18:18
  i think they're they're all motivated for
• 1:18:19
  different reasons and the first one is
• 1:18:23
  jeff adler i think he needs to do
• 1:18:25
  well
• 1:18:26
  After what happened at the games,
• 1:18:28
  what happened at the first stop on WFP
• 1:18:30
  and not being able to compete in the
• 1:18:31
  second one, he just needs to do well.
• 1:18:34
  I think the second person that is going
• 1:18:36
  to do well is James Sprague.
• 1:18:39
  I think it is the one competition that
• 1:18:41
  he has struggled to do well on,
• 1:18:44
  and he wants to prove to the other
• 1:18:45
  boys that he can compete with them at
• 1:18:48
  Rogue.
• 1:18:49
  So I think he has extra motivation.
• 1:18:51
  But this is kind of my...
• 1:18:56
  Out there pick.
• 1:18:57
  And I think he's going to win it.
• 1:19:00
  Is Justin.
• 1:19:02
  I think Justin Medeiros.
• 1:19:04
  Is motivated to get back.
• 1:19:05
  He's won it twice.
• 1:19:07
  He wants to go back and get on
• 1:19:08
  top.
• 1:19:09
  And I think he is doing everything in
• 1:19:11
  his power.
• 1:19:12
  To train for this event.
• 1:19:15
  And he's done everything the last.
• 1:19:17
  Six to eight weeks to do that.
• 1:19:19
  I would love to see him do well.
• 1:19:21
  Love it.
• 1:19:22
  And so that is my pick to come
• 1:19:24
  out of.
• 1:19:25
  Out of nowhere to win is Justin Medeiros.
• 1:19:30
  The two-time Rogue champ.
• 1:19:35
  Yeah.
• 1:19:35
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:19:36
  That's a tough one for me.
• 1:19:37
  I feel like, I mean, I don't know.
• 1:19:41
  Out of your boys interrupted,
• 1:19:44
  I almost feel like Hopper's going to do
• 1:19:47
  the best.
• 1:19:51
  He just doesn't need to.
• 1:19:53
  He doesn't need to,
• 1:19:53
  but I think he wants to make a
• 1:19:55
  statement.
• 1:19:56
  I think in this season of so much
• 1:19:58
  activity, you have to look at motivation.
• 1:20:00
  And that's why I went in that direction.
• 1:20:03
  And the three people I think are motivated
• 1:20:05
  the most to do well are Adler, Sprague,
• 1:20:08
  and Medeiros.
• 1:20:11
  Colton's going to be there, right?
• 1:20:13
  Yeah.
• 1:20:16
  That event just does not fit his skill
• 1:20:18
  set.
• 1:20:18
  Yeah.
• 1:20:18
  Yeah.
• 1:20:20
  He might, I think he might,
• 1:20:22
  he always has,
• 1:20:23
  he always has a few events that depending
• 1:20:26
  on the programming, like he can kind of,
• 1:20:29
  it can line up for him sometimes.
• 1:20:37
  Do you have girl picks or just boys?
• 1:20:41
  Uh, well, I just was starting with boys.
• 1:20:44
  Um,
• 1:20:47
  my internet's down on my laptop,
• 1:20:49
  so I can't see the girls, um,
• 1:20:51
  that I had the boys up.
• 1:20:52
  So that one was easy.
• 1:20:54
  Um, on the girl's side, I,
• 1:21:00
  I know that I was thinking Emma Lawson.
• 1:21:01
  Okay.
• 1:21:03
  Uh,
• 1:21:03
  because it's been a long season for her.
• 1:21:06
  Yeah.
• 1:21:06
  She's,
• 1:21:07
  you saw in the last WFP tour stop,
• 1:21:09
  she was getting a little bit better.
• 1:21:11
  Um,
• 1:21:14
  I think Horvat's going to do well because
• 1:21:16
  she always does well at Rogue.
• 1:21:17
  I agree.
• 1:21:18
  It's not just Rogue.
• 1:21:19
  She always does well.
• 1:21:20
  She's better than the field.
• 1:21:23
  WFP has not been great for her this
• 1:21:24
  year.
• 1:21:25
  Just one event.
• 1:21:28
  She's strong, though.
• 1:21:31
  One bad event.
• 1:21:32
  But she hasn't podiumed at either one.
• 1:21:35
  Has she?
• 1:21:36
  She literally just won.
• 1:21:39
  She won the last one.
• 1:21:41
  She won Tours Top Two?
• 1:21:44
  Yeah.
• 1:21:45
  Emma Tall was second,
• 1:21:48
  and Amy Kringle is third place.
• 1:21:52
  Okay.
• 1:21:52
  Well, I'll take that back.
• 1:21:53
  She's going to keep rolling,
• 1:21:54
  and Laura's going to win.
• 1:21:56
  I think Laura's going to win, Emma Lawson,
• 1:21:59
  and I'm going to go Ariel.
• 1:22:05
  Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
• 1:22:07
  I just don't know where Alex is on
• 1:22:10
  her rehab.
• 1:22:11
  I want to pick Alex.
• 1:22:14
  But I just don't know where she is.
• 1:22:15
  Yeah.
• 1:22:15
  I agree with Ariel.
• 1:22:18
  I think that's a solid pick.
• 1:22:20
  Yep.
• 1:22:21
  She's typically so consistent,
• 1:22:23
  like at any comp.
• 1:22:26
  Like she's only been a little bit off
• 1:22:28
  maybe like once in the last few years.
• 1:22:30
  But, you know,
• 1:22:33
  she's looking to do well here,
• 1:22:34
  just like Jeff's looking to do well here.
• 1:22:38
  On the men...
• 1:22:41
  I do like your Pat pick.
• 1:22:42
  I just feel like he's got some momentum.
• 1:22:47
  He's just rogue.
• 1:22:50
  Yeah, I'd say Jeff.
• 1:22:52
  I think he'll podium.
• 1:22:54
  Kind of like Brent from last year where
• 1:22:56
  Brent ended on the podium there and that
• 1:22:59
  solidified his last big comp.
• 1:23:03
  Doesn't it worry you that Pat can't lift
• 1:23:05
  things overhead?
• 1:23:07
  He can lift things overhead, Scott.
• 1:23:09
  It always seems to fail him and Rogue.
• 1:23:12
  His shoulder endurance.
• 1:23:15
  Yeah, I would agree,
• 1:23:16
  which is weird because like.
• 1:23:21
  Other like certain things that are kind of
• 1:23:24
  shoulder intensive, he's good at,
• 1:23:26
  but not like you had to do a
• 1:23:27
  bunch of jerks.
• 1:23:28
  I feel like he's going to fail.
• 1:23:34
  I still think he's in a podium.
• 1:23:37
  I think he's going to be on the
• 1:23:38
  podium.
• 1:23:38
  Jeff, Pat, and I can see Justin,
• 1:23:42
  but I'm going to say Jason.
• 1:23:44
  I'm going to say Jeff, Pat, and Jason.
• 1:23:48
  CrossFit asks,
• 1:23:48
  is there anything Pat can break or fall
• 1:23:50
  off of?
• 1:23:53
  That horizontal pegboard.
• 1:23:55
  It's not super high off the ground, but
• 1:23:59
  Have you guys seen Ariel's horizontal
• 1:24:00
  pegboard?
• 1:24:02
  Is that thing like not really high?
• 1:24:05
  Like it's really high.
• 1:24:06
  Yeah, it's high.
• 1:24:10
  I know it's kind of like a perfect
• 1:24:12
  place to put that off to the side
• 1:24:14
  and her new like little barn gym thing,
• 1:24:16
  but dang, it's up there.
• 1:24:18
  It's crazy to look at, you know,
• 1:24:21
  everyone's equipment right now and like
• 1:24:23
  what they're,
• 1:24:25
  what they've built in their gym.
• 1:24:26
  Like everyone's has built the log muscle.
• 1:24:29
  It seems like everyone has a horizontal
• 1:24:31
  pegboard at their gym.
• 1:24:32
  Now, um,
• 1:24:34
  a lot of people working with the log.
• 1:24:39
  Um, I saw, who was it?
• 1:24:40
  Lucy Campbell.
• 1:24:41
  She was at Emma McQuaid's gym and like
• 1:24:44
  working with the log and she sent a,
• 1:24:46
  or she had a picture that she put
• 1:24:47
  on her story of her,
• 1:24:48
  like falling with the log.
• 1:24:50
  I think, um,
• 1:24:52
  But a lot of people are, you know,
• 1:24:54
  a lot of times like it's what you
• 1:24:55
  have access to in these practices, right?
• 1:25:04
  Yes.
• 1:25:04
  So everyone I've seen,
• 1:25:04
  like they look pretty good on the,
• 1:25:07
  like they look like they're better than
• 1:25:09
  last year.
• 1:25:09
  Because last year,
• 1:25:10
  a lot of the field really struggled with
• 1:25:12
  that pegboard, right?
• 1:25:14
  Like that was brand new.
• 1:25:17
  Well, hopefully Haley's been practicing.
• 1:25:19
  We already heard Danielle wasn't
• 1:25:21
  practicing.
• 1:25:22
  Hasn't touched it since.
• 1:25:26
  Crazy.
• 1:25:32
  If you're a rogue athlete,
• 1:25:34
  do you buy it like a log?
• 1:25:36
  Do you buy... You can't buy it.
• 1:25:39
  Well, I mean,
• 1:25:39
  I guess I'm thinking the one you press.
• 1:25:44
  Oh, the big...
• 1:25:47
  Timber bar or whatever.
• 1:25:49
  Where you go to a gym that has
• 1:25:50
  it.
• 1:25:50
  Yeah.
• 1:25:51
  Cause like Jason bought one off a rogue.
• 1:25:56
  Now it's not the one they use at
• 1:25:57
  the, at the, the competition,
• 1:26:00
  but at least can like use it to
• 1:26:03
  practice.
• 1:26:04
  Yeah.
• 1:26:04
  Alexis was just,
• 1:26:06
  Raptus was just showing a video of her
• 1:26:08
  doing those like clean and jerks with it.
• 1:26:10
  Cause Anne was just working out with a
• 1:26:13
  couple of strong man people doing the log
• 1:26:16
  as well.
• 1:26:16
  Yup.
• 1:26:19
  Yeah.
• 1:26:20
  I mean, I think there's a,
• 1:26:21
  there's such an advantage to getting some
• 1:26:23
  reps on it.
• 1:26:23
  Right.
• 1:26:24
  And for sure.
• 1:26:25
  That's why like Katie posted a picture of
• 1:26:28
  a few things.
• 1:26:29
  Cause those are implements.
• 1:26:30
  I think that they want the athletes to
• 1:26:31
  look a little bit better on maybe this
• 1:26:33
  year.
• 1:26:34
  So they're like, Hey,
• 1:26:35
  go and practice these.
• 1:26:38
  Um, CrossFit says Dallin,
• 1:26:39
  Justin and Jason.
• 1:26:40
  Oh, they're all rogue athletes.
• 1:26:42
  Yeah.
• 1:26:42
  So they have,
• 1:26:43
  they have like their gift cards or their
• 1:26:45
  stipend that they can buy those cool toys.
• 1:26:48
  Right.
• 1:26:48
  Does that give people like people an
• 1:26:50
  advantage?
• 1:26:53
  I mean, anytime you have equipment.
• 1:26:54
  Yeah.
• 1:26:54
  Yeah.
• 1:26:55
  Cause we really only know three things
• 1:26:57
  that are, that are there right now.
• 1:26:59
  But if you have certain rogue equipment
• 1:27:01
  like that,
• 1:27:03
  that you're used to playing with, like,
• 1:27:05
  I feel like that, that would help.
• 1:27:08
  Because what do we know?
• 1:27:08
  It's bench, the pegboard, and the log.
• 1:27:12
  Yep.
• 1:27:13
  Yeah.
• 1:27:15
  When Boys Interrupted seemed to think that
• 1:27:16
  was all going to be one event.
• 1:27:19
  I didn't take it.
• 1:27:20
  I didn't read into it that it was
• 1:27:21
  one event.
• 1:27:22
  I read into it that, hey,
• 1:27:23
  these three things are coming with us.
• 1:27:27
  But they read into it that, hey,
• 1:27:29
  it's one event.
• 1:27:31
  I don't think it matters.
• 1:27:31
  I think regardless, you...
• 1:27:34
  People come up with combinations.
• 1:27:35
  They put them together.
• 1:27:36
  They put them separate.
• 1:27:37
  Like you just get touches on them now.
• 1:27:39
  Yep.
• 1:27:40
  Anytime any clues happen.
• 1:27:43
  I just wonder when they're going to
• 1:27:44
  release the workouts.
• 1:27:46
  In the past,
• 1:27:46
  I think they've done it like the Monday
• 1:27:48
  of the comp.
• 1:27:49
  There's one year where we found them out
• 1:27:50
  there.
• 1:27:51
  I think it was like twenty twenty one
• 1:27:53
  or was like very, very secret.
• 1:27:55
  And then other years was like the Monday
• 1:27:57
  of the competition.
• 1:28:04
  some events released, hopefully.
• 1:28:11
  The other thing Katie talked about in the
• 1:28:12
  interview was how much they care about
• 1:28:16
  leaks and how adamant they are about it.
• 1:28:19
  And the whole time I'm thinking, well,
• 1:28:21
  Carolyn didn't even tell us when she was
• 1:28:23
  testing events.
• 1:28:25
  And I won't even ask her because I
• 1:28:26
  know she won't tell me anyway.
• 1:28:29
  But it's really cool that
• 1:28:33
  knowing that in the past two years,
• 1:28:36
  Carolyn had tested workouts and she
• 1:28:39
  wouldn't even tell us like, and the,
• 1:28:43
  and so it is a secret up until
• 1:28:46
  the event.
• 1:28:46
  And I know that the Carolyn is so
• 1:28:49
  as much as Katie cares about the event
• 1:28:51
  and that it being fair,
• 1:28:53
  Carolyn cares the same amount.
• 1:28:57
  Yeah.
• 1:28:57
  Cause I don't,
• 1:28:58
  I don't tell anyone if I'm testing.
• 1:28:59
  Yeah.
• 1:29:00
  Right.
• 1:29:00
  Yeah.
• 1:29:01
  We know.
• 1:29:02
  And the only reason people knew is because
• 1:29:04
  I,
• 1:29:04
  she posted a picture of me last year.
• 1:29:05
  Right.
• 1:29:06
  Cause or else like, it's not,
• 1:29:08
  I don't want anyone to know.
• 1:29:09
  And it's reaching out to you.
• 1:29:11
  Yeah.
• 1:29:11
  Yeah.
• 1:29:11
  I mean,
• 1:29:11
  not that I would say anything anyways,
• 1:29:13
  but like, I don't,
• 1:29:14
  and I just want to do well when
• 1:29:15
  I test,
• 1:29:15
  I want to give them good feedback too.
• 1:29:17
  And like,
• 1:29:18
  I care about the test almost as much
• 1:29:20
  as they do because like,
• 1:29:22
  I've seen the test and I'm like,
• 1:29:25
  feel like they could do this or i
• 1:29:27
  would be like way lower here you know
• 1:29:29
  you try to get feedback but then you
• 1:29:31
  see it put and you because you care
• 1:29:33
  about them asking you to test like you
• 1:29:35
  want to make sure that they get it
• 1:29:37
  right because you know that they're trying
• 1:29:39
  to get it right so yeah no i
• 1:29:41
  do care with this um grant says i
• 1:29:44
  want to try log muscle ups have you
• 1:29:47
  two ladies ever done them i never have
• 1:29:49
  i would love to try them
• 1:29:53
  One of my favorite movements,
• 1:29:55
  so I would like them.
• 1:29:58
  I mean,
• 1:29:58
  I competed at Rogue when we had them,
• 1:30:00
  and then I tested them.
• 1:30:04
  How much harder are they?
• 1:30:07
  You have to change the way you kip.
• 1:30:08
  Yeah, they're hard.
• 1:30:11
  I did well.
• 1:30:12
  The year I had, I think,
• 1:30:15
  were they there both years of my Rogue
• 1:30:17
  Imitation?
• 1:30:17
  I'm trying to think if I did it.
• 1:30:21
  Yeah, I remember...
• 1:30:25
  I know I did it in twenty twenty
• 1:30:27
  two.
• 1:30:27
  I don't know if they were there in
• 1:30:28
  twenty.
• 1:30:29
  I don't think they were there in twenty
• 1:30:30
  twenty one.
• 1:30:31
  I don't think so either.
• 1:30:37
  They were there two years or.
• 1:30:41
  I forget they were there last year and.
• 1:30:45
  Definitely the year before,
• 1:30:47
  but they're hard.
• 1:30:49
  They're hard.
• 1:30:49
  Yeah.
• 1:30:53
  Yeah.
• 1:30:58
  Yeah, we are past time.
• 1:31:01
  The only other piece of news that I
• 1:31:02
  did want to touch on real quick,
• 1:31:04
  and then we'll get out of here,
• 1:31:05
  is there are events that are announcing
• 1:31:08
  times that fall within the CrossFit Games
• 1:31:10
  season,
• 1:31:11
  typically at the time of semifinals,
• 1:31:14
  but no formal announcement has been made
• 1:31:17
  on...
• 1:31:19
  on them as no formal announcement has been
• 1:31:22
  made on who is going to be a
• 1:31:23
  semi-final,
• 1:31:24
  but the French Throwdown announced dates
• 1:31:26
  in that window.
• 1:31:28
  MadFit, which used to be the Madrid event,
• 1:31:35
  MadFit is in those events.
• 1:31:36
  Copasor,
• 1:31:37
  which has typically been a semi-final.
• 1:31:40
  And NorCal,
• 1:31:42
  which we knew previously to this week.
• 1:31:45
  But those four have all announced dates
• 1:31:47
  within that semifinal timeframe.
• 1:31:50
  So we might be getting an indication of
• 1:31:52
  what is going to be on tap for
• 1:31:53
  semifinals as an option.
• 1:31:58
  But hopefully on one of these CrossFit
• 1:32:00
  Games podcast episodes,
• 1:32:03
  the Sport of Fitness podcast,
• 1:32:05
  we'll get one of those announcements in
• 1:32:06
  the next week or two.
• 1:32:08
  Have...
• 1:32:09
  With, like, Copasor and French Jordan,
• 1:32:13
  has there been...
• 1:32:14
  Because I know Copasor last year was,
• 1:32:17
  like, region-blocked.
• 1:32:18
  Is there an announcement of dates?
• 1:32:22
  Did they say anything about that?
• 1:32:23
  No,
• 1:32:23
  because they didn't say anything about the
• 1:32:25
  Grouse Vague games.
• 1:32:26
  I see.
• 1:32:32
  But in Dave's week in reviews and the
• 1:32:34
  questions he's been asked,
• 1:32:36
  he has not seemed...
• 1:32:39
  poised to make that change.
• 1:32:46
  To make them not be region based.
• 1:32:50
  Right.
• 1:32:51
  He doesn't seem to like,
• 1:32:53
  he's going to let them do what they
• 1:32:54
  want to do.
• 1:32:55
  However they want to.
• 1:32:55
  Yeah.
• 1:32:58
  Hmm.
• 1:33:00
  I think that it was just confusing.
• 1:33:03
  Some were open, some were not.
• 1:33:04
  Yeah, that's not right.
• 1:33:05
  And it does not lead to getting the
• 1:33:08
  correct thirty people to the games.
• 1:33:11
  You can't limit that.
• 1:33:15
  Yeah, I agree.
• 1:33:18
  But I don't think we can really start
• 1:33:20
  bitching about it until we know if it's
• 1:33:22
  a fact or not or fact or fiction.
• 1:33:27
  Yep.
• 1:33:32
  I think they either need all of them
• 1:33:35
  to geo or not.
• 1:33:38
  Yeah.
• 1:33:39
  Yeah.
• 1:33:40
  I think they all need to have a
• 1:33:41
  geographic wall or none.
• 1:33:43
  Right.
• 1:33:47
  Yeah.
• 1:33:49
  None.
• 1:33:49
  I also think you should cap the number
• 1:33:52
  that people can attend.
• 1:33:54
  But with the last chance qualifier being
• 1:33:55
  after,
• 1:33:56
  it's like you have your one and then
• 1:33:57
  you have last chance qualifier.
• 1:33:58
  Yeah.
• 1:33:58
  Yeah.
• 1:34:00
  You know,
• 1:34:01
  that's already more than what we had prior
• 1:34:03
  in years.
• 1:34:04
  Yeah.
• 1:34:05
  I mean, these regions are,
• 1:34:06
  more people are at them, but yeah.
• 1:34:10
  I also, for the event, I mean,
• 1:34:11
  I could even go to two,
• 1:34:13
  but when people were like three and
• 1:34:15
  fouring it, like that was just too much.
• 1:34:18
  I do want the event organizers to get
• 1:34:20
  good fields to bring people into the
• 1:34:23
  seats.
• 1:34:25
  So I understand that, but man,
• 1:34:27
  it was too much last year.
• 1:34:28
  Just way too much.
• 1:34:35
  She was okay.
• 1:34:37
  Yeah.
• 1:34:38
  That's probably it for me.
• 1:34:39
  So, all right, guys.
• 1:34:39
  I'm going to hit the rack.
• 1:34:41
  Got to get to work tomorrow.
• 1:34:43
  Just a reminder,
• 1:34:44
  I got scheduled a meeting during my lunch
• 1:34:46
  time tomorrow.
• 1:34:48
  So,
• 1:34:48
  I will not be on for lunch with
• 1:34:49
  the Clydesdale until maybe one o'clock.
• 1:34:53
  But I'm also having my car fixed.
• 1:34:55
  So, hopefully...
• 1:34:57
  Hopefully I can get on at one o'clock
• 1:34:58
  tomorrow.
• 1:34:59
  If not, we'll see you on Tuesday.
• 1:35:02
  And don't forget Caroline Klutz will be
• 1:35:04
  with me on Wednesday's episode of Lunch
• 1:35:07
  with Clydesdale.
• 1:35:08
  And we'll ask her whether she had the
• 1:35:10
  option to go elite or masters.
• 1:35:13
  We'll ask her how she felt about her
• 1:35:15
  performance.
• 1:35:16
  And we'll ask her if she made a
• 1:35:18
  ten thousand dollar mistake.
• 1:35:21
  But we're going to talk about a lot
• 1:35:22
  of other stuff.
• 1:35:24
  Because I've changed those from being
• 1:35:25
  interviews to just being conversations.
• 1:35:28
  And so we're just going to talk about
• 1:35:30
  whatever she wants to talk about in
• 1:35:31
  addition to that.
• 1:35:33
  With that,
• 1:35:34
  we'll see everybody either tomorrow or
• 1:35:37
  Tuesday.
• 1:35:40
  And bye.
