• 0:34
  What's going on, everybody?
• 0:36
  Welcome to lunchtime.
• 0:38
  A little break from the workday.
• 0:39
  Get to hang out with my friends.
• 0:41
  Talk about entertainment, sports,
• 0:44
  and CrossFit.
• 0:47
  Yesterday, we got some bad news.
• 0:49
  So I'm going to lighten it
• 0:51
  up a little bit.
• 0:52
  But I want to share
• 0:53
  something from a few years
• 0:54
  back to honor someone we
• 0:57
  lost yesterday from my childhood.
• 1:02
  and that is the one great
• 1:05
  late Ozzy Osbourne.
• 1:08
  Stupid bloody bag,
• 1:10
  never get the bloody... Hey, Dad?
• 1:11
  No, no, no, I'm just... Dad,
• 1:12
  we really want to show you something.
• 1:14
  I've got something to do,
• 1:15
  I'm trying to... I really
• 1:16
  should see this.
• 1:17
  What is it, then?
• 1:18
  What is it?
• 1:19
  These aren't Pepsis.
• 1:21
  They're Pepsi Twists.
• 1:22
  You're a bunch of bloody magicians.
• 1:25
  We're not the Osbournes.
• 1:27
  You're not?
• 1:30
  We're the Osmonds!
• 1:34
  I'm a little bit country.
• 1:35
  I'm a little bit rock and roll.
• 1:36
  Sharon!
• 1:40
  Sharon,
• 1:40
  the kids have turned into the Osmonds.
• 1:42
  Oh, there, there, dear.
• 1:43
  Go back to sleep.
• 1:47
  Like twists?
• 1:49
  Ozzy Osbourne.
• 1:51
  Died yesterday.
• 1:52
  He was someone Christian Keller.
• 1:57
  I'm surprised he made it
• 1:58
  seventy six years.
• 1:59
  I think all of us are
• 2:00
  surprised he made it seventy six years.
• 2:04
  When I was in high school,
• 2:06
  he was the counterculture.
• 2:08
  He was everything against racism.
• 2:12
  the standard he was
• 2:14
  frightening he was
• 2:15
  ferocious and then the
• 2:18
  nineties rolled around and
• 2:19
  he started to do reality TV
• 2:22
  with his family and then we
• 2:24
  got the goofy crazy Aussie
• 2:30
  but man my childhood that
• 2:32
  man was scary as hell
• 2:34
  parents feared him so much
• 2:39
  and now he's gone
• 2:41
  He's gone.
• 2:45
  Marat,
• 2:46
  I am surprised you didn't make it
• 2:47
  another thirty.
• 2:48
  All those drugs kept him alive.
• 2:50
  Yeah, like with the alcohol,
• 2:52
  he was definitely pickled inside.
• 2:54
  But yeah.
• 2:57
  And the famous Sharon.
• 2:59
  But yeah, I was surprised about that.
• 3:04
  I actually really got into his music later,
• 3:08
  probably in college.
• 3:11
  really started to appreciate
• 3:13
  it a lot um pretty crazy
• 3:15
  that uh we've lost him so
• 3:18
  um just wanted to start off
• 3:20
  the show with that the next
• 3:21
  thing I want to talk about
• 3:22
  is um yesterday is why I
• 3:25
  after uh corey and I were
• 3:26
  on I listened to the end of
• 3:28
  savan's podcast yesterday
• 3:31
  And Sivan was talking about
• 3:33
  a change that I had made
• 3:35
  and that he wanted to call
• 3:36
  me a few years back and
• 3:37
  give me some advice.
• 3:38
  And he was kind of going
• 3:39
  through what he thought I
• 3:41
  had been going through over the last few,
• 3:45
  I guess, the few months.
• 3:47
  And he described that if
• 3:51
  you're in a rut and you're
• 3:52
  playing it safe,
• 3:53
  you're just going to stay in the rut.
• 3:55
  And he described and used an
• 3:57
  analogy that like when you go on the air,
• 4:01
  it should feel like you're
• 4:02
  jumping out of an airplane.
• 4:04
  And that's what I feel like now.
• 4:06
  I feel like,
• 4:08
  and he described it as a dance.
• 4:10
  I've showed you guys over
• 4:11
  the last few weeks.
• 4:12
  I don't have notes.
• 4:14
  I just have some topics we
• 4:15
  may want to talk about.
• 4:18
  but I really don't have notes.
• 4:20
  And so we talk about topics on the show.
• 4:23
  You guys give input.
• 4:25
  We kind of react to that.
• 4:27
  What you get now is my
• 4:29
  honest expression of what I
• 4:30
  feel in those moments and
• 4:32
  how I feel about things.
• 4:34
  And that becomes like a
• 4:35
  dance every day because I
• 4:37
  never really know what the
• 4:39
  show is going to be.
• 4:42
  And that's, I think, the biggest...
• 4:45
  I think that's the biggest
• 4:46
  difference with what's going on.
• 4:48
  And also, when I'm on here by myself,
• 4:50
  I don't have to worry about
• 4:51
  offending anybody.
• 4:53
  It's just me giving my opinions.
• 4:56
  It's very unfiltered now.
• 4:58
  And I'm really enjoying it.
• 5:01
  When I say jump out of plane,
• 5:02
  I don't mean like I'm
• 5:02
  leaping to my death.
• 5:04
  I mean, every day now,
• 5:06
  there is an adrenaline rush
• 5:11
  coming on the air.
• 5:13
  So I'm super stoked about that,
• 5:16
  that he kind of described
• 5:17
  what I was feeling.
• 5:19
  And so that's exactly what I feel like.
• 5:25
  Dense updates.
• 5:26
  I have to take notes so I
• 5:27
  don't forget anything.
• 5:29
  I do forget topics,
• 5:31
  so I do have a list of topics,
• 5:33
  and I'll show you guys again.
• 5:35
  That's my notes.
• 5:36
  There's nothing.
• 5:37
  It's just a list of topics
• 5:38
  that we can touch on if I hit a lull,
• 5:42
  but there's no detail to any of it.
• 5:47
  Okay.
• 5:54
  Unrelated,
• 5:54
  but have you all seen the bear
• 5:56
  Castro posted in the story?
• 5:58
  Is that a CrossFit hint?
• 5:59
  And if so, what?
• 6:02
  I have not dug into the Castro clues yet.
• 6:08
  So, I don't know.
• 6:10
  Instead of rumors, I see it here,
• 6:14
  Joseph Ramirez, Clydesdale Day.
• 6:16
  I declare today Clydesdale Day.
• 6:20
  know you're not allowed to
• 6:21
  declare your own nickname
• 6:23
  but I'm clear declaring the
• 6:24
  day clydesdale day any day
• 6:28
  that an event at the
• 6:29
  crossfit games becomes one
• 6:31
  rep max back squat
• 6:34
  clydesdales rejoice all over the world
• 6:39
  I literally got a text from
• 6:40
  Larry young last night,
• 6:41
  John's dad saying they've
• 6:44
  put a heavy thing in the, in the games.
• 6:47
  I can,
• 6:47
  I'm not allowed to bitch for two weeks.
• 6:49
  I won't know what to do on
• 6:50
  all these podcasts.
• 6:53
  And so, um, I thought that was hilarious.
• 6:59
  That is my wheelhouse.
• 7:01
  One rep max back squat.
• 7:02
  I would love, love, love to do that.
• 7:05
  Um,
• 7:08
  I have not missed a back
• 7:09
  squat since two thousand fourteen.
• 7:13
  So I've never truly, truly maxed it out.
• 7:17
  Right before my last back procedure,
• 7:20
  I was heading to five
• 7:22
  hundred and I got to four seventy five.
• 7:28
  then I had to have my my
• 7:29
  final back procedure and so
• 7:32
  I've not had the confidence
• 7:34
  to go up for it again but
• 7:36
  that is what I I wanted to
• 7:41
  do and I've ne I've never
• 7:44
  pushed myself to where I
• 7:46
  had to dump a back squat I
• 7:48
  have not missed one
• 7:51
  And over ten years.
• 7:53
  But I haven't really pushed
• 7:55
  in the last four.
• 7:57
  So.
• 8:00
  See,
• 8:01
  you cardio people want to add cardio
• 8:04
  to a beautiful event that
• 8:07
  is just line it up, get under the bar,
• 8:10
  drop down, push it up.
• 8:14
  Come on.
• 8:17
  Just once in our lives can
• 8:19
  we have just a pure, pure strength event.
• 8:25
  And it's not technique.
• 8:27
  It is just pure power.
• 8:37
  I always get this wrong.
• 8:38
  The cat's meow.
• 8:40
  Who let the cats me out?
• 8:41
  Yeah, that's it.
• 8:42
  Gosh, I always forget that.
• 8:44
  I imagine there must be some
• 8:45
  kind of twist with that workout,
• 8:46
  maybe a two-parter.
• 8:47
  It just seems weird to have
• 8:48
  a one rep max back squat as
• 8:50
  a whole event when the
• 8:51
  CrossFit total already exists.
• 8:54
  you listen to hillary last
• 8:55
  night he talked about it
• 8:56
  being by itself and how
• 8:57
  beautiful that is and not
• 8:59
  being like polluted by
• 9:01
  other um events and I
• 9:03
  that's why I love it I love
• 9:05
  that we're just lining up
• 9:07
  getting under a heavy bar
• 9:09
  can you drop down and can
• 9:10
  you lift it up simple
• 9:12
  beautiful elegant powerful
• 9:16
  yes it's clydesdale day
• 9:21
  uh CK Kevin I hit for fifty
• 9:23
  a few years ago now at
• 9:25
  fifty five I don't really
• 9:26
  see the point want to stay
• 9:27
  close to that though yep
• 9:29
  you're the same age as I am
• 9:30
  Kevin um yeah I hit four
• 9:35
  seventy five at like fifty
• 9:37
  one and yeah I just don't I
• 9:42
  just can't I wanted to hit
• 9:44
  five hundred one more time
• 9:46
  um but I I don't think
• 9:48
  that's in the cards anymore
• 9:54
  uh jay birch for ten is my
• 9:56
  best but like you I've
• 9:57
  never dumped one I didn't
• 9:59
  say I never dumped one I
• 10:01
  said I haven't dumped one
• 10:03
  since um she is with the
• 10:09
  important question will
• 10:11
  they have theatrical lights
• 10:13
  yeah I think they're I
• 10:14
  heard they're bringing in
• 10:14
  the wwe to give it like a
• 10:17
  special effect and everything
• 10:22
  Marat, one rep max squat is great.
• 10:24
  Not every test at the games.
• 10:26
  Needs to be a for-time workout.
• 10:36
  Better question is,
• 10:37
  will they turn the lights
• 10:38
  off mid-attempt?
• 10:40
  That could be the twist.
• 10:42
  You have to do half of it in the dark.
• 10:50
  Judy says, Colton or Nick?
• 10:53
  Don't forget Tudor.
• 10:57
  Don't forget my boy Tudor.
• 11:03
  Joseph Ramirez, women, Kerstetter, Prevost,
• 11:06
  and Walton.
• 11:09
  My pick is Annika Greer.
• 11:14
  Annika Greer, Olivia Kerstetter.
• 11:25
  um load your bar in the dark
• 11:30
  lift whatever weight you
• 11:31
  load so you just have to
• 11:34
  guess um austin had five
• 11:41
  hundred for two the other
• 11:42
  day so he'll be up there
• 11:43
  too yeah I think there'll
• 11:45
  be a good a good chunk of men over five
• 11:51
  What's crazy is if you go
• 11:52
  back to the CrossFit total
• 11:53
  in twenty of the five men that were there,
• 11:56
  nobody hit five.
• 11:58
  Now, five years later,
• 12:00
  I bet you we have a good chunk over five.
• 12:12
  Christian Kettler, Olivia.
• 12:17
  trained olive echoing denny
• 12:18
  or jenny jenny and dense
• 12:21
  updates mixed together is
• 12:22
  denny yeah um nick has done
• 12:27
  five seventy if colton
• 12:28
  could do more that's
• 12:29
  outrageous man colin just
• 12:31
  does not have a long range
• 12:33
  of motion to get down and back up
• 12:41
  Lito asks, what is the equivalent of .
• 12:44
  .
• 12:45
  .
• 12:45
  That is what I'm hearing.
• 12:48
  It's somewhere around the .
• 12:50
  .
• 12:50
  .
• 12:54
  What are your thoughts on
• 12:55
  low bar brought up by Hiller?
• 12:58
  I like low bar, actually.
• 13:00
  I do think it makes you stronger,
• 13:03
  but it takes a lot of upper
• 13:05
  body mobility to get there.
• 13:10
  so um when I was low bar
• 13:13
  like I really had to
• 13:14
  stretch out my shoulders um
• 13:17
  to get that strong position
• 13:19
  on your back you really
• 13:20
  have to have a lot of range
• 13:21
  of motion to get into that low bar
• 13:25
  But I think the big factor
• 13:27
  to the back squat is going
• 13:28
  to be what is the rack
• 13:30
  they're going to use.
• 13:31
  If it's two poles with a
• 13:34
  thing on it and you're doing big weights,
• 13:37
  I think people are going to
• 13:38
  be conservative because
• 13:38
  they're afraid they're
• 13:39
  going to miss the re-rack.
• 13:47
  I hope they do something a
• 13:49
  little more stable to be
• 13:51
  able to re-rack the heavyweights.
• 13:59
  Um,
• 13:59
  probably too late to work on low bar at
• 14:01
  this point.
• 14:02
  Yeah.
• 14:02
  If you're not used to it, you, and yeah,
• 14:10
  I bet way fewer women hit
• 14:12
  three fifty than men hit five hundred.
• 14:15
  I don't disagree with you on that one.
• 14:21
  Who let the cat, um,
• 14:26
  Yeah, I think you probably only have three,
• 14:30
  maybe four on the women's side.
• 14:32
  I bet you have over five,
• 14:34
  hit five on the men's side.
• 14:41
  Sarah Cooper,
• 14:42
  is it just the bar lower on
• 14:43
  your back as opposed to the
• 14:44
  shoulder-ish height?
• 14:46
  Yeah,
• 14:46
  you're going further down on your back,
• 14:48
  more on your shoulder blade
• 14:49
  than up like on your traps.
• 14:52
  And the other thing is...
• 14:55
  it allows you to kind of
• 14:56
  bend over a little bit and
• 14:58
  use your back more on the
• 14:59
  lift up where if you're up on the traps,
• 15:02
  you have to stay more, uh, up upright.
• 15:12
  So, uh, winter Olympic girls do three,
• 15:19
  fifteen for reps.
• 15:22
  I'm sure.
• 15:33
  Sounds sketchy.
• 15:36
  It all depends on if you're
• 15:37
  used to it or not.
• 15:38
  It kind of buries into the muscle.
• 15:41
  And you do have to have that
• 15:42
  shoulder mobility to hold it in place.
• 15:45
  So you have to have a strong
• 15:46
  grip into that.
• 15:48
  But it's not as sketchy as
• 15:50
  it sounds if you're used to it.
• 15:52
  You should not try it for
• 15:53
  the first time doing a
• 15:54
  heavyweight at the CrossFit Games.
• 15:56
  I will say that.
• 16:00
  so so yeah today is clyde
• 16:04
  sale day all over the world
• 16:06
  for all those back squat
• 16:07
  lovers uh we'll get to see
• 16:09
  that um happen at the
• 16:13
  crossfit games I just and
• 16:15
  I'm anxious to see how they
• 16:16
  do it you know we joked
• 16:17
  about the lighting
• 16:19
  but are they going to do it
• 16:20
  like they did like the
• 16:21
  sandbag clean or maybe like
• 16:23
  groups of four come up,
• 16:24
  do the squat until it gets
• 16:26
  down to a certain number.
• 16:28
  Then we go down to like just
• 16:29
  one squat rack on the floor,
• 16:32
  keep upping the weight, let them go.
• 16:34
  Or do they get three attempts or like,
• 16:37
  what's it going to be?
• 16:38
  Um,
• 16:40
  Because I think if you want
• 16:41
  to see the true heavy let's go,
• 16:45
  you're going to have to leak it up,
• 16:47
  leak it up,
• 16:47
  and then kind of funnel it
• 16:48
  down to one squat rack in
• 16:50
  the middle of the floor.
• 16:57
  Would anyone do it barefoot?
• 17:03
  I don't think it would be
• 17:04
  allowed to do it barefoot.
• 17:06
  If you remember last two
• 17:08
  years ago when Alex Kazan
• 17:10
  lost her shoe on the floor,
• 17:12
  they made her put her shoe
• 17:13
  back on before she could finish the race.
• 17:23
  And who let the cats out?
• 17:26
  Great point.
• 17:28
  You can win.
• 17:29
  You win five hundred dollars
• 17:31
  just for wearing the Lujan shoes.
• 17:35
  if you actually win the event,
• 17:37
  I think it's like three, three grand,
• 17:40
  something like that.
• 17:43
  And then if you watch the
• 17:44
  Anika Greer interview with Dave,
• 17:47
  he actually says in there
• 17:49
  that they do have sponsors
• 17:50
  for every event and there
• 17:52
  will be prize money for events, first,
• 17:54
  second, and third, uh, for every event.
• 17:58
  Um,
• 17:59
  So there will be prize money
• 18:01
  for winning three K for
• 18:03
  winning the back squat and
• 18:05
  then two K for second one K for third.
• 18:08
  The other thing he did
• 18:09
  mention in that interview
• 18:10
  with Anika is on the
• 18:13
  crossover double unders.
• 18:14
  They're not going to be required to use,
• 18:17
  uh, the lights jump rope.
• 18:19
  They can use whatever jump rope they wish.
• 18:27
  CrossFit says five hundo to wear them.
• 18:30
  Three K if you win.
• 18:31
  So Tia's got at least fifteen hundred.
• 18:34
  I think that's going to be
• 18:35
  the I think that is going
• 18:36
  to be an interesting story
• 18:37
  for the back squat is how
• 18:39
  much of Tia's pure strength
• 18:41
  was taken away by training
• 18:42
  for high rocks.
• 18:44
  That's going to be the
• 18:44
  hardest thing to build back
• 18:46
  up in the time she has for the games.
• 18:51
  And so I think that's going
• 18:52
  to be a pretty good storyline to follow.
• 18:59
  Um,
• 19:00
  Jay Birch says they should do it like
• 19:03
  the rogue deadlift conga style.
• 19:06
  Um, and then someone says, I hope not.
• 19:10
  That was painfully long.
• 19:11
  I think it's event five.
• 19:13
  So if it's event five,
• 19:14
  that means there has to be
• 19:15
  another event later in the day.
• 19:17
  So I am sure it's gotta be,
• 19:18
  it's going to be very, very timed out, um,
• 19:23
  as to how this goes.
• 19:24
  And so they can be done for event six.
• 19:31
  And Vindicate makes a clear point.
• 19:34
  No one who has a shoe
• 19:35
  sponsor is going to wear them.
• 19:38
  I wonder if people are going
• 19:40
  to their sponsors asking, hey,
• 19:41
  can I wear them just for
• 19:43
  this event to get the money?
• 19:46
  And what I would hope is
• 19:47
  that their sponsor says,
• 19:50
  we'll give you the five
• 19:51
  hundred to wear our shoes.
• 19:59
  Lito says, I'm telling you,
• 20:00
  event six is max back squat
• 20:02
  reps at fifty percent.
• 20:08
  That gets that gets tricky.
• 20:11
  I don't know,
• 20:11
  because if you're still in it,
• 20:13
  depending on how it's
• 20:14
  formatted and you've done
• 20:16
  more reps than anybody else
• 20:17
  to get to your.
• 20:18
  Yeah.
• 20:21
  get to your weight and then
• 20:24
  after that you got to turn
• 20:24
  around and do more you're
• 20:26
  at a distinct disadvantage
• 20:28
  against everybody else in
• 20:29
  the field and so I I don't
• 20:34
  unless it's just you get
• 20:35
  three shots and then you do
• 20:38
  the fifty percent at reps
• 20:40
  for fifty or at fifty
• 20:42
  percent of whatever max
• 20:44
  reps at fifty percent then
• 20:45
  okay that's fine
• 20:48
  Or you're also going to have
• 20:49
  people game it who have no
• 20:51
  shot to win the max.
• 20:53
  So they're going to just do
• 20:54
  a lighter load so they can
• 20:55
  do way more reps once they
• 20:57
  get to fifty percent.
• 21:00
  So there's a lot of ways to cheat that.
• 21:05
  If that makes sense.
• 21:09
  So.
• 21:12
  Yeah,
• 21:13
  and I think and I don't like it
• 21:15
  because it negates.
• 21:17
  it negates the win for the
• 21:19
  person on the max load,
• 21:22
  then going for max reps.
• 21:24
  It like, cause the,
• 21:25
  the winner's probably going to be last.
• 21:27
  The loser's probably going
• 21:28
  to be first and it kind of
• 21:29
  negates everything.
• 21:34
  So, um,
• 21:42
  Another thing I wanted to
• 21:43
  share with you guys is if
• 21:47
  you didn't see Dave's story,
• 21:49
  you all know I am a massive, massive,
• 21:52
  massive Chicago Bears fan.
• 21:56
  And so what I want to show
• 21:58
  you now is Dave shared this on his story.
• 22:01
  This is Tyson Bajent.
• 22:03
  The Bears did a promo where
• 22:05
  they had training camp
• 22:07
  opened up yesterday for the
• 22:08
  Chicago Bears.
• 22:09
  And they did the first day
• 22:10
  of class kind of meme for
• 22:15
  all the players coming in.
• 22:16
  Only it was called first day
• 22:17
  of training camp.
• 22:19
  is awesome about this is I'm
• 22:21
  going to fast forward this
• 22:22
  you can see it in the lower
• 22:24
  corner um this is tyson
• 22:26
  bajan first day of training
• 22:27
  camp and he puts on here
• 22:30
  that when he he wants to be
• 22:33
  a crossfitter when he grows
• 22:34
  up who is doing more for crossfit
• 22:42
  promoting the games,
• 22:43
  promoting CrossFit as a
• 22:45
  methodology than Tyson Bajan,
• 22:48
  and he's not even getting
• 22:49
  paid by CrossFit to do so.
• 22:55
  I mean,
• 22:56
  he's just doing this because he loves it,
• 22:58
  and it really shows how
• 23:01
  many top athletes going to
• 23:02
  the games have done this
• 23:03
  much promotion for the games.
• 23:09
  Here's a guy in the National
• 23:10
  Football League,
• 23:11
  the biggest sport we have in America,
• 23:14
  and every opportunity he
• 23:15
  gets to say it in a press
• 23:17
  conference or in a picture, he is pumping,
• 23:21
  pumping CrossFit.
• 23:29
  It's just amazing.
• 23:31
  And he plays for my favorite team,
• 23:34
  which makes it even better
• 23:36
  that I get to follow his career.
• 23:37
  I get to see stuff he does.
• 23:39
  And if you weren't watching
• 23:42
  back a few weeks ago,
• 23:45
  A Chicago Bears reporter
• 23:46
  went and was embedded with
• 23:48
  Tyson the same weekend Hiller was there.
• 23:50
  They did a special on him in
• 23:52
  Chicago on a Bears podcast,
• 23:55
  did a twenty minute feature
• 23:57
  showing and promoting his
• 23:59
  training methods, including CrossFit.
• 24:02
  And it just was awesome.
• 24:04
  And all of that is done
• 24:06
  outside of the frames of
• 24:09
  like the typical stuff.
• 24:10
  So.
• 24:13
  um just cool it was just
• 24:15
  cool to see this um and I
• 24:17
  and it just makes me wonder
• 24:19
  why we don't see this much
• 24:22
  from athletes we see the
• 24:24
  sponsorships we see all the
• 24:27
  stuff they're required to
• 24:28
  do to make their money but
• 24:31
  Other than, hey,
• 24:33
  get twenty percent off your
• 24:34
  ticket if you use my code.
• 24:36
  What promotion to the
• 24:38
  CrossFit Games have we seen
• 24:40
  other than Dallin Pepper
• 24:41
  doing his countdown with
• 24:43
  his wife and Jason Hopper
• 24:46
  doing some stuff similar to that?
• 24:50
  Nobody else has been pushing.
• 24:52
  Hey, games are ten days away.
• 24:53
  Hey, games are five days away.
• 24:56
  Hey, come to the games.
• 24:57
  Watch us do this.
• 25:02
  We got a guy in the NFL
• 25:03
  doing more than that.
• 25:10
  There's something wrong with that.
• 25:15
  If you love this sport and
• 25:16
  you want to make it a professional sport,
• 25:19
  promote what the hell we're doing.
• 25:25
  It's more than just contracts.
• 25:26
  It's more than just sponsorships.
• 25:29
  It's getting people into the seat,
• 25:31
  getting eyeballs on the sport.
• 25:35
  I mean,
• 25:35
  the other day it was announced that
• 25:37
  DAZN is going to be the app
• 25:38
  that you can watch the CrossFit Games on.
• 25:40
  I'm on here going, just download the app.
• 25:43
  I don't care if you use it.
• 25:45
  But DAZN needs to see that
• 25:47
  we as CrossFitters are
• 25:48
  going to use the product.
• 25:50
  So just download the app so
• 25:51
  they have numbers to show a
• 25:53
  correlation with and that
• 25:54
  the announcement that the
• 25:55
  games are going to be on it
• 25:57
  so that we can prove that
• 25:59
  we're worth the investment.
• 26:11
  CrossFit,
• 26:11
  I hope CrossFit isn't paying DAZN
• 26:13
  for their time.
• 26:15
  I would not see that.
• 26:16
  I think DAZN needs CrossFit
• 26:18
  as much as CrossFit needs them.
• 26:23
  The zone needs to fill time slots.
• 26:26
  They need to fill content.
• 26:28
  They only become a valuable
• 26:30
  app if there is content for
• 26:32
  people to watch.
• 26:34
  And they need to make deals
• 26:35
  to get events to do that.
• 26:37
  And that's why we as
• 26:38
  consumers should be
• 26:39
  downloading the app to show
• 26:41
  that we're worth the investment.
• 26:46
  Whether you end up watching
• 26:47
  games on YouTube because
• 26:48
  you like the format of that much better,
• 26:51
  That's fine.
• 26:52
  Just download the app.
• 26:55
  Just download the app.
• 27:03
  Vindicate, Travis says,
• 27:04
  Brooke made one post and
• 27:05
  didn't even say CrossFit Games in it.
• 27:09
  I know a lot of people have
• 27:10
  picked on Brooke for this,
• 27:11
  and she has not.
• 27:12
  She does not promote the games,
• 27:14
  but I can name you ten
• 27:16
  others that don't either.
• 27:26
  Sarah brings up a good point.
• 27:27
  The proven camp has done a
• 27:31
  great job with content,
• 27:32
  getting ready for the games.
• 27:34
  They have, they really, really have.
• 27:37
  I would say proven as a
• 27:38
  company has done that,
• 27:40
  but look at the individual athletes,
• 27:42
  Instagram pages.
• 27:43
  There's nothing, nothing.
• 27:49
  And I know they're focused
• 27:51
  on themselves and getting
• 27:52
  themselves ready.
• 27:54
  But gosh, if you want this to grow,
• 27:55
  you want the prize money to grow,
• 27:57
  you have to promote the
• 28:00
  sport that you're trying to be in now.
• 28:06
  I've been friends with Nick
• 28:07
  Johnston for a long time,
• 28:10
  prior to him even being with Proven.
• 28:13
  and I think he's doing a
• 28:14
  great job with the
• 28:15
  promotion aspect of things
• 28:17
  but he has a very good
• 28:18
  business mind and um and he
• 28:22
  gets it he gets what you
• 28:23
  have to do if you want this
• 28:25
  thing to be around for a
• 28:26
  long time yeah craig I said
• 28:37
  that dylan is killing it
• 28:39
  corinne I think is even better at it um
• 28:45
  I follow both of them.
• 28:46
  Their promotion of the games is awesome.
• 28:53
  Nick and Dwight live it.
• 28:54
  Yes.
• 28:55
  Yes, they are great.
• 29:00
  Who let the cats?
• 29:01
  I also can guarantee a lot
• 29:03
  of these people who are
• 29:03
  intentionally not pushing
• 29:04
  the games are lab WFP people.
• 29:09
  I wouldn't be surprised if
• 29:10
  their contractual
• 29:10
  obligation to promote WFP
• 29:12
  also has stipulations about
• 29:14
  not promoting other organizations.
• 29:16
  That would be,
• 29:19
  if I saw that that was actually true,
• 29:25
  I'm one foot out on WFP right now.
• 29:27
  I would be both feet out if
• 29:29
  I found out that that was
• 29:33
  in their contract.
• 29:41
  Um, come on guys.
• 29:43
  It's legacy week at HWPO,
• 29:45
  whatever that means.
• 29:47
  Uh,
• 29:47
  just saying goodbye to all the athletes
• 29:49
  they used to have.
• 29:56
  Uh,
• 29:56
  who are you most jazzed to see in Albany?
• 30:00
  Um, from an athlete perspective, um,
• 30:10
  From an athlete perspective,
• 30:11
  who am I most jazzed to see?
• 30:14
  It would be Anika Greer.
• 30:17
  I've known Anika since she was sixteen.
• 30:20
  I interviewed her when she
• 30:23
  finally made the teen
• 30:24
  CrossFit Games and then
• 30:25
  they canceled them due to COVID.
• 30:27
  And we've been friends ever since.
• 30:30
  And to see her finally punch
• 30:31
  her ticket to the games and
• 30:34
  get there and she's going
• 30:35
  to go out on that floor.
• 30:38
  I'm just so excited that I'm
• 30:40
  going to be there to see that.
• 30:45
  So...
• 30:47
  yeah that's who I'm most
• 30:48
  jazzed to see uh in in
• 30:52
  albany but I have I have a
• 30:53
  lot of people that I'm you
• 30:55
  know uh dylan lowen just
• 30:59
  texted me today can't wait
• 31:01
  to see him can't wait to
• 31:03
  see ariel um I mean I have
• 31:08
  a lot of friends over the years
• 31:09
  And then the media company,
• 31:11
  there's been some media
• 31:11
  people reaching out to me.
• 31:14
  Then I didn't get to go to
• 31:14
  semis this year.
• 31:16
  So I get to see a lot of my
• 31:17
  friends in the media world.
• 31:19
  I can't wait for that.
• 31:23
  I see Aaron says top ten males.
• 31:25
  We're actually going to do a pick show.
• 31:28
  I was watching John Young
• 31:31
  and Taylor and Bryson and
• 31:37
  Tyler last night on Savan.
• 31:40
  We're going to do our own
• 31:41
  ranking probably this Sunday night.
• 31:44
  So we'll reveal all that then.
• 31:47
  I definitely don't agree with John's picks,
• 31:51
  but I don't want to go down
• 31:53
  through it and nitpick
• 31:54
  until I make mine and make
• 31:56
  it available for him to nitpick me.
• 32:01
  so um so I'll give you those
• 32:05
  but I did I did sign up for
• 32:06
  the heat one app and I was
• 32:08
  trying to kind of put it
• 32:09
  together and I just
• 32:10
  realized I need more time
• 32:11
  than just to sit here and
• 32:12
  do this uh it that the
• 32:15
  males are going to be
• 32:15
  impossible to rank
• 32:19
  completely completely um impossible
• 32:28
  is that true hwpo is moving
• 32:30
  to boston they're moving to
• 32:33
  o'keefe's hometown instead
• 32:35
  of fraser's hometown about
• 32:47
  annika she's going to need
• 32:48
  to weather a storm on event
• 32:49
  one she will I I hope
• 32:56
  I hope that now that she's
• 32:57
  made it to the games,
• 32:59
  the pressure of failing a
• 33:02
  run event will help her run
• 33:04
  more free than it has at the semifinal.
• 33:09
  But we'll see.
• 33:18
  Oh,
• 33:18
  they're moving to Vermont because or
• 33:21
  moving from Vermont because
• 33:22
  of the travel.
• 33:28
  Matt announced it on the
• 33:29
  morning chalk up video.
• 33:31
  Okay.
• 33:37
  All right.
• 33:38
  This is now, I guess this is now a thing.
• 33:40
  I'm so jazzed for Lucy Campbell's return.
• 33:44
  I am too.
• 33:44
  Lucy's Lucy's awesome.
• 33:47
  I can't wait for that.
• 33:48
  That's another person I can't wait.
• 33:50
  I've never met her in person.
• 33:52
  I had her on the show once.
• 33:53
  We had a great conversation.
• 33:56
  We've talked online a few times,
• 33:59
  but I've never met her in person.
• 34:01
  I was at the game she was at,
• 34:03
  but we just kept missing each other.
• 34:09
  really jazzed for the back
• 34:10
  squat okay now they're
• 34:11
  they're coming when are the
• 34:13
  jazz t-shirts coming I
• 34:15
  mentioned to my wife last
• 34:16
  night she was like yes you
• 34:17
  need to do that you need to
• 34:18
  do jazzed t-shirts um I
• 34:23
  guess well I I'll go talk
• 34:24
  to my my girl who designs
• 34:26
  uh the stuff we have she's
• 34:28
  designed my logo my two
• 34:29
  logos and I'll see what she
• 34:31
  can come up with uh with
• 34:32
  the jazz thing maybe I can
• 34:34
  have them by the masters crossfit games
• 34:41
  It can't be true that WFP
• 34:43
  would prevent contracted
• 34:44
  athletes from promoting
• 34:45
  CrossFit since people like
• 34:46
  Dallin are under contract.
• 34:49
  True.
• 34:52
  Aaron Frazier, yeah,
• 34:53
  the Wooley Woodland thing.
• 34:56
  Man, I'm going to get hammered here.
• 34:59
  Let's go.
• 35:00
  Here we are, the free, unfiltered Scott.
• 35:03
  I tried to watch the latest video,
• 35:08
  and I just couldn't.
• 35:10
  I just couldn't.
• 35:13
  um I like sean a lot um I've
• 35:17
  actually known john woolley
• 35:18
  a long time because he's
• 35:19
  here in ohio um we've
• 35:22
  always had a decent
• 35:23
  relationship but I just I
• 35:25
  just couldn't it just was
• 35:28
  not my cup of tea um
• 35:34
  I'll try again maybe in a few weeks.
• 35:39
  Give them the benefit of the
• 35:40
  doubt for a couple to start
• 35:43
  off and see if they get in a groove.
• 35:45
  It just seemed a little
• 35:47
  clunky going back and forth.
• 35:55
  Pretty rough first watch though.
• 36:02
  Ah, yes,
• 36:03
  travel location allowed mayhem to
• 36:04
  be so powerful in Cookville.
• 36:07
  Yeah,
• 36:07
  but you're only an hour away from
• 36:09
  Nashville.
• 36:09
  I mean, it's not a bad travel.
• 36:18
  Marat is,
• 36:19
  I'm jazzed for the games in general,
• 36:21
  the premier event this year.
• 36:26
  I'd wear a Clydesdale shirt
• 36:27
  with a horse saxophone and
• 36:29
  a fedora on it.
• 36:30
  Make it like Zatarain's logo.
• 36:33
  Okay.
• 36:34
  That's an idea.
• 36:38
  Jazzed by the Clydesdale.
• 36:45
  How do you think Sid
• 36:46
  McElishan will do at the game's top ten?
• 36:52
  I don't think top ten.
• 36:56
  I think she's improving and
• 36:58
  I think she's getting
• 36:59
  better and I think that
• 37:02
  I'd have to see her in person.
• 37:03
  I know Sydney pretty well.
• 37:05
  We actually followed her for
• 37:06
  a season two years ago from
• 37:09
  the open all the way through.
• 37:11
  And I think that when she
• 37:13
  was with Comp Train...
• 37:19
  She became too analytical,
• 37:21
  and she needed to let go a
• 37:23
  little bit when she was out on the floor.
• 37:26
  I have not seen her in
• 37:27
  person this year to see that,
• 37:30
  so I'd want to see if she
• 37:31
  has gotten rid of that
• 37:33
  over-analysis about everything.
• 37:41
  Rambler,
• 37:41
  how come you're a Mets fan in Ohio?
• 37:44
  Well, here's the deal.
• 37:47
  Not that anybody cares,
• 37:48
  but I grew up in Pennsylvania,
• 37:51
  about an hour north of Pittsburgh.
• 37:54
  I was a Pirates fan my whole life.
• 37:57
  I was a huge Bobby Bonilla fan.
• 38:00
  Um,
• 38:00
  when they let Bobby Benia go and he
• 38:02
  went to the Mets,
• 38:04
  then I defected for a
• 38:05
  minute and I was a big,
• 38:07
  and I just started rooting for the Mets.
• 38:09
  Then the pirates started to
• 38:10
  stink for like twenty five
• 38:12
  years straight.
• 38:13
  And I had no baseball to watch after June.
• 38:17
  Um,
• 38:17
  so I started just following the Mets and.
• 38:22
  And then I started playing
• 38:23
  softball after a while and
• 38:26
  I wore a Mets hat when I
• 38:27
  pitched and that was my good luck.
• 38:30
  And I, now I just always own a Mets hat.
• 38:33
  And then last year I really
• 38:34
  got back into the Mets when they were, uh,
• 38:37
  when I made it to the
• 38:38
  national league championship series and,
• 38:41
  uh,
• 38:41
  really got into it and broke out the
• 38:43
  hat again.
• 38:45
  So I'm still a Pirates fan,
• 38:47
  but they don't give me much to root for.
• 38:50
  So I follow the Mets too so
• 38:52
  that I can watch baseball
• 38:53
  longer into the season.
• 39:04
  Um...
• 39:10
  uh sydney mcclellan isn't
• 39:11
  she a bad runner she was
• 39:12
  really working on the
• 39:13
  running um and if you go
• 39:16
  back through her instagram
• 39:17
  there's some videos that
• 39:18
  show she's really improved
• 39:20
  on her uh running form and
• 39:24
  I think she did much better
• 39:26
  at wfp uh so hopefully
• 39:33
  hopefully she's picked up I
• 39:35
  don't think she's gonna win
• 39:36
  any running events but I
• 39:37
  think she's minimized the
• 39:38
  damage that will happen
• 39:48
  greatest baseball contract ever done,
• 39:49
  Mets and Bobby Bonilla.
• 39:50
  Yeah,
• 39:50
  it was just Bobby Bonilla Day a
• 39:52
  couple of days ago.
• 39:53
  He's still getting paid by
• 39:54
  the Mets like one point
• 39:56
  something million a year.
• 39:58
  Yeah, July first.
• 40:09
  uh judy reed besides the
• 40:11
  bucks ohio sports suck yeah
• 40:13
  oh has to ohio sports suck
• 40:15
  period I'm not a bucks fan
• 40:17
  I'm a penn state fan and I
• 40:20
  always take it on the chin
• 40:21
  every year but this could
• 40:23
  be the year it all changes
• 40:26
  all right last I have so
• 40:27
  many topics so we got lots
• 40:29
  to talk about this week um
• 40:33
  I just want a huge thank you
• 40:35
  with the Hiller video
• 40:36
  coming out this week.
• 40:38
  A lot of people have been reaching out.
• 40:39
  Some of those have been
• 40:40
  listeners from all the way
• 40:42
  back to when we were just
• 40:43
  an audio podcast five years ago.
• 40:46
  I know things have been
• 40:47
  booming in the last six months,
• 40:49
  but those people that have
• 40:49
  been with us forever and
• 40:51
  reaching out and reconnecting,
• 40:53
  it was awesome.
• 40:56
  It was awesome to hear from everybody.
• 40:59
  I'm going to try to get
• 41:00
  through all the YouTube
• 41:01
  comments and comment back.
• 41:06
  But it's just been awesome
• 41:07
  reconnecting with everybody.
• 41:09
  I think I got through all
• 41:10
  the DMs that I got and
• 41:12
  responded back to those.
• 41:14
  I'm going to try to get
• 41:14
  through all the YouTube
• 41:15
  comments by the end of the day.
• 41:17
  But you guys are the best.
• 41:19
  Truly the best.
• 41:23
  Let's see.
• 41:26
  One thing I – gosh,
• 41:27
  which one of these do I
• 41:28
  want to talk about?
• 41:32
  I want to talk about the demo team.
• 41:34
  I think the demo team is so underrated.
• 41:37
  I don't think we've had an
• 41:38
  announcement on who that's
• 41:38
  going to be this year,
• 41:40
  but just think about how
• 41:41
  awesome it is to be a part
• 41:43
  of that demo team and think
• 41:45
  about that connection that
• 41:47
  you make with Dave,
• 41:48
  what you learn by testing
• 41:50
  the workouts with him as
• 41:52
  you get ready for the next year.
• 41:54
  And as I look back on the last three years,
• 42:01
  forty one percent of the of
• 42:03
  the athletes that have
• 42:04
  participated on the demo
• 42:06
  team have are in the games this year.
• 42:13
  Demo team last year that are
• 42:16
  now on the on the games is Anika Greer,
• 42:19
  Colton Mertens, Tudor Magda.
• 42:22
  Demo team two years ago that
• 42:24
  are in the games this year,
• 42:25
  Sydney McElishan, Carolyn Prevost.
• 42:28
  Demo team three years ago
• 42:30
  that's in the games this year,
• 42:31
  Fisa Goffey, James Sprague.
• 42:36
  That is seven of seventeen
• 42:39
  athletes that were put on
• 42:42
  the demo team in the last
• 42:43
  three years and are in the
• 42:45
  games this year.
• 42:48
  What you learn during that
• 42:50
  time is so invaluable.
• 42:52
  that if you're an athlete on
• 42:53
  the cusp and you do not
• 42:55
  accept a role on the demo team,
• 42:59
  you're undercutting yourself.
• 43:07
  It has got to be the
• 43:08
  greatest opportunity if you
• 43:09
  want to grow in this sport.
• 43:11
  Forty-one percent.
• 43:13
  Forty-one percent.
• 43:14
  That's almost fifty percent.
• 43:16
  Go from demo team to the games.
• 43:23
  Who do you think the demo
• 43:24
  team is going to be this year?
• 43:26
  I think the format of the
• 43:27
  season has hurt the
• 43:29
  opportunities to figure out
• 43:30
  who they should be.
• 43:32
  So I'm anxious to see how
• 43:33
  this works out moving forward.
• 43:36
  It was easy when there were
• 43:37
  semifinals and you could
• 43:38
  see who they were one point out.
• 43:40
  They were two points out.
• 43:42
  They need to be pulled in
• 43:43
  here to be the demo because
• 43:44
  they're right on the cusp.
• 43:45
  Now with like people trying
• 43:47
  four times and six times,
• 43:49
  it's going to be a lot
• 43:49
  harder to kind of see who
• 43:51
  those people are.
• 43:55
  Have they ever flown anyone
• 43:56
  from overseas to be on the demo team,
• 43:59
  though?
• 43:59
  Yes.
• 44:01
  And there could have been
• 44:03
  more people at the games
• 44:04
  this year from the demo teams,
• 44:07
  but a lot of those people
• 44:08
  that came from overseas are
• 44:10
  the ones boycotting the games this year.
• 44:17
  So that's a shame.
• 44:24
  So that's even slanting it a
• 44:26
  little bit more.
• 44:29
  Trista Smith was on the team last year,
• 44:31
  Jeff.
• 44:37
  Yeah.
• 44:40
  know it's gonna be
• 44:40
  interesting I would think
• 44:41
  they'd be announced by now
• 44:43
  I mean we're only what a
• 44:44
  week away from register
• 44:46
  we're past we're under a
• 44:48
  week till registration and
• 44:50
  uh and people have got to
• 44:52
  get here or get there so
• 44:58
  I'm gonna finish up with
• 44:59
  this I heard someone say uh
• 45:02
  have I seen the champs um
• 45:04
  road to the games I did and
• 45:07
  I didn't ever review it because we got
• 45:10
  mixed up in other things.
• 45:12
  And so that return to the games,
• 45:14
  I would give a minus.
• 45:17
  I thought it was pretty good.
• 45:18
  Their personalities came
• 45:19
  across a lot more.
• 45:20
  They were outside the gym a little bit.
• 45:23
  That was pretty awesome.
• 45:25
  But again,
• 45:26
  they just need to push a little
• 45:27
  bit more into the storytelling aspect.
• 45:30
  I know that's been my theme all year.
• 45:33
  I also watched the Hatfield
• 45:35
  Mayhem piece yesterday.
• 45:36
  I think that was more
• 45:37
  interesting because of the
• 45:38
  rumored relationship with him and Haley.
• 45:42
  And that becomes pretty
• 45:43
  obvious if you watch that
• 45:44
  video that him and Haley
• 45:47
  are in a relationship.
• 45:48
  Just by the way they're
• 45:49
  looking at each other in the gym,
• 45:50
  how the way they interact.
• 45:52
  If they are not in a relationship,
• 45:54
  I would be shocked.
• 45:56
  Yeah.
• 46:01
  And then, so that one,
• 46:03
  I would give an a two and
• 46:07
  then Emma tall off the clock done by WFP.
• 46:11
  If that's what I was told to be patient,
• 46:13
  things are coming, man.
• 46:16
  What a bad one to start off on.
• 46:18
  I don't think it pushed much.
• 46:20
  I didn't want stuff.
• 46:21
  If you're saying off the clock,
• 46:22
  that means not training to me.
• 46:25
  And then you follow her to a
• 46:26
  pool where she's training anyway.
• 46:29
  So that doesn't make sense to me.
• 46:31
  They also did not mic her up very well.
• 46:33
  So it was really hard to
• 46:34
  hear what she was saying.
• 46:39
  And so for that,
• 46:40
  I like the concept of off the clock.
• 46:43
  Let's go with someone for a
• 46:44
  day when they're not training.
• 46:46
  What do they do?
• 46:47
  How do they relax?
• 46:49
  Those types of things.
• 46:52
  But that fell short for me.
• 46:55
  So that one I would give a B minus.
• 47:01
  um yeah so emmett's all off
• 47:06
  the clock b minus return to
• 47:08
  the games road to the games
• 47:11
  a minus uh the hatfield mayhem piece in a
• 47:16
  Again, in the Hatfield,
• 47:17
  the Mayhem piece was still formula.
• 47:19
  I just want something new and creative.
• 47:22
  Off the Clock promised me
• 47:23
  that and then didn't deliver,
• 47:25
  just like the other things
• 47:26
  that have been promised by
• 47:27
  the WFP from a media creation standpoint.
• 47:33
  So yeah, just quick review on those ones.
• 47:36
  Alito said,
• 47:37
  I heard the Torian Pro
• 47:38
  documentary is supposed to be good.
• 47:41
  Well,
• 47:41
  the only person I've heard it from is
• 47:43
  one of the other creators
• 47:45
  who did only watch the first part of it.
• 47:48
  I had a piece on that and I
• 47:49
  was going to show some stuff.
• 47:51
  Maybe we'll talk about that tomorrow.
• 47:52
  I don't know.
• 47:57
  We'll see.
• 47:58
  I got some stuff, though,
• 48:00
  still on my list of topics.
• 48:02
  So I will be back here tomorrow.
• 48:03
  But, man,
• 48:04
  I am running over by forty five
• 48:06
  minutes every day now
• 48:07
  because you guys are freaking awesome.
• 48:09
  Love hanging out with you with that.
• 48:14
  I got to get back to work.
• 48:16
  So you knuckleheads need to as well.
• 48:18
  We will see everybody next time.
• 48:21
  On lunch with the Clydesdale.
• 48:23
  Happy Clydesdale's Day, everybody.
• 48:26
  Bye, guys.
