Lunch with the Clydesdale - ...And the Trash Talking Hits a Whole New Level, and I am Here For It! · Clydesdale Media Podcast

• 0:03
  yesterday we asked for some trash talking
• 0:05
  today we got a handful let's talk about
• 0:08
  it next
• 0:20
  I love the chase and the hunt,
• 0:22
  and I set the pace when I'm running.
• 0:23
  I always take what I want,
• 0:25
  and I always give it one hundred.
• 0:26
  Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
• 0:28
  Play the game like it's nothing.
• 0:29
  I'm always thankful for something.
• 0:31
  Don't take for granted, stay humble.
• 0:32
  Now wake up!
• 0:34
  It's time to look at the enemy.
• 0:36
  Look in the mirror if he is no
• 0:38
  friend to me.
• 0:39
  It's not working out,
• 0:40
  maybe it's the chemistry.
• 0:42
  It's time to break up so I can
• 0:43
  make a better me.
• 0:44
  The Avenue!
• 0:50
  It's lunchtime.
• 0:52
  What is going on, everybody?
• 0:55
  Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale.
• 0:57
  It is a chilly Tuesday afternoon here in
• 0:59
  Ohio.
• 1:00
  Good to be with you all.
• 1:02
  It is currently thirteen degrees.
• 1:04
  Man, it is just freaking cold.
• 1:08
  And the older I get,
• 1:09
  the worse it is for me to tolerate
• 1:12
  it.
• 1:12
  I used to love the cold.
• 1:13
  I used to love going outside,
• 1:15
  getting that fresh winter air.
• 1:18
  And now, man, hell with that.
• 1:23
  It is so dang cold.
• 1:26
  Forty nine in Austin, Texas.
• 1:29
  We got Frida.
• 1:30
  We got Vicky.
• 1:31
  We've got Amanda.
• 1:33
  We've got Meredith.
• 1:34
  Joseph trained all of in the house.
• 1:39
  Man, twenties in D.C.
• 1:45
  Our feel like temp was a balmy one
• 1:47
  degree at our house this morning.
• 1:48
  Yeah,
• 1:49
  we're probably somewhere around that.
• 1:52
  Yeah.
• 1:53
  Wild, wild day.
• 1:55
  But so glad to be inside,
• 1:57
  even though my basement is freezing.
• 2:00
  Thirty in Nashville.
• 2:01
  Man.
• 2:03
  Think down in Tennessee,
• 2:04
  it wouldn't be as bad,
• 2:05
  but that's below freezing, too.
• 2:09
  So, okay.
• 2:11
  So what is going on, everybody?
• 2:13
  Don't forget to like and subscribe to the
• 2:14
  channel.
• 2:15
  Hit that like button.
• 2:16
  It really helps the algorithm.
• 2:18
  If you could do that,
• 2:19
  it would be awesome.
• 2:20
  I would truly, truly appreciate it.
• 2:24
  Yeah.
• 2:25
  Holy cow.
• 2:26
  Down in Florida, it's thirty nine degrees.
• 2:29
  That would shut down the town when I
• 2:31
  live there.
• 2:32
  I lived in Tallahassee.
• 2:33
  If it got below,
• 2:35
  if it got down in the thirties, man,
• 2:36
  nobody came to work.
• 2:42
  Vicki wants to know if everyone is
• 2:43
  registered for the open.
• 2:46
  I've got a,
• 2:47
  I had a situation this weekend with my
• 2:49
  daughter where I had to get her some
• 2:51
  money over some like identity theft stuff.
• 2:55
  So I didn't sign up yet,
• 2:58
  but I will,
• 2:59
  I will definitely do it within the next
• 3:01
  week for sure.
• 3:05
  Frozen iguanas in Florida, I guess.
• 3:11
  Joseph Ramirez wants to know,
• 3:12
  did the refs screw up the NFL playoffs?
• 3:15
  We talked about this after the show last
• 3:17
  night, the Sunday night show on a Monday.
• 3:21
  You know,
• 3:22
  everybody complains about the judging at
• 3:23
  CrossFit.
• 3:25
  This weekend, man,
• 3:27
  I didn't have a dog in the fight
• 3:29
  until the Bears game.
• 3:30
  So I was watching the games,
• 3:32
  and I felt like the refs were not
• 3:34
  consistent in the way they called the
• 3:37
  games.
• 3:39
  Yeah.
• 3:42
  So my answer,
• 3:44
  Joseph is I do think they screwed it
• 3:45
  up this weekend.
• 3:46
  Um,
• 3:47
  the other thing I can say is like
• 3:49
  the bills, I think the one,
• 3:51
  a couple of the place could have been
• 3:52
  called differently,
• 3:53
  but they played bad too.
• 3:55
  So it's like, yeah,
• 3:57
  you could blame the refs, but in addition,
• 3:59
  you got to blame yourself too.
• 4:01
  Just like the bears,
• 4:02
  like they just played bad at the end
• 4:04
  of the game.
• 4:04
  They made some bad decisions.
• 4:08
  You know, that stuff happens.
• 4:09
  You want to blame somebody else,
• 4:11
  but really you just have to look in
• 4:13
  the mirror.
• 4:13
  So, yeah.
• 4:18
  I trade all of it snowed in North
• 4:19
  Florida this week.
• 4:21
  I moved to Tallahassee,
• 4:22
  Florida in nineteen ninety six.
• 4:25
  The first week I moved there, it snowed.
• 4:29
  I was moving from Pennsylvania.
• 4:31
  I moved to Florida.
• 4:32
  I thought, oh my gosh,
• 4:33
  now I get all this winter heat.
• 4:35
  It's going to be awesome.
• 4:37
  And it snowed literally the first week I
• 4:39
  lived there.
• 4:42
  And then, of course,
• 4:43
  then it became just hellish heat from that
• 4:46
  point forward.
• 4:47
  But for a week,
• 4:48
  it wasn't like I really moved much.
• 4:52
  Frozen iguana sounds like a good name for
• 4:54
  a cocktail.
• 4:55
  Yeah.
• 4:57
  Hey, bartender, I'll take a frozen iguana.
• 5:03
  I used to bartend in college.
• 5:05
  And I used to have a guy that
• 5:07
  would come in and give me like a
• 5:08
  nickname or a name.
• 5:09
  And I would try to come up with
• 5:11
  a drink that kind of represented what he
• 5:14
  would call it, right?
• 5:16
  Without anything.
• 5:18
  And the one I remember the most is
• 5:20
  he wanted a kryptonite.
• 5:22
  and so i took like like melon liqueur
• 5:26
  and some blue and i never have been
• 5:29
  able to pronounce it blue karaka um and
• 5:32
  mix them together to give this like
• 5:34
  clearish blue green
• 5:38
  um to the drink with some ice and
• 5:40
  uh uh some some like seven up um
• 5:44
  and it it it looked awesome and it
• 5:46
  actually tasted pretty good too um but i
• 5:49
  would try to make up so maybe i
• 5:52
  don't drink anymore uh so i don't have
• 5:54
  the stuff to do it but i would
• 5:55
  i'd love to come up with a frozen
• 5:57
  iguana or frozen did we say iguana yeah
• 6:00
  frozen iguana uh curacao is how it's
• 6:05
  pronounced okay
• 6:12
  Midori and Blue Curacao.
• 6:14
  Yeah.
• 6:15
  I think though I used the cheap melon
• 6:17
  liqueur and not the Midori.
• 6:29
  Rum and melon liqueur and something to
• 6:31
  make it green.
• 6:33
  Yeah,
• 6:33
  the melon liqueur was green and the blue
• 6:37
  curacao was blue.
• 6:38
  And together it made like a prismic
• 6:42
  looking blue green.
• 6:45
  And then, yeah,
• 6:47
  you could have added vodka, rum,
• 6:49
  anything to it.
• 6:50
  It would have been fine.
• 6:53
  But you needed the fizz from like a
• 6:55
  seven up or like to make it kind
• 6:59
  of bubble to give it that iridescent look.
• 7:04
  So anyway,
• 7:07
  the opening of the show was talking about
• 7:10
  trash talking.
• 7:11
  We talked about that yesterday and how we
• 7:14
  need to have more trash talking to have
• 7:16
  more storylines.
• 7:18
  And man,
• 7:18
  who knew in the next twenty four hours
• 7:20
  I was going to get a whole handful
• 7:22
  of it.
• 7:23
  So I'm going to start with this this
• 7:26
  Instagram post by one Mr. Austin Hatfield.
• 7:30
  I don't know if you guys have seen
• 7:31
  this.
• 7:33
  Yeah.
• 7:36
  On his Instagram post,
• 7:37
  I'm going to blow up the words here
• 7:39
  so you can see it.
• 7:41
  Bro, that is the weakest shit ever,
• 7:43
  being coached by the guy who programs your
• 7:46
  comp.
• 7:48
  And so Austin posted those comments that
• 7:50
  someone sent to him doing bar muscle-ups
• 7:54
  rapidly.
• 7:56
  And then the text with it is,
• 7:59
  Chihuahuas always bark at the big dogs.
• 8:02
  See you at the Mayhem Classic.
• 8:07
  So that's part one to this story.
• 8:11
  Then we have part two.
• 8:17
  And this is the first example of this.
• 8:25
  So this was a go between
• 8:32
  Let me get out of here.
• 8:34
  Where is that at?
• 8:35
  So I can see it up close.
• 8:41
  So anyway,
• 8:42
  it is between Dallin Pepper and Austin
• 8:45
  Hatfield.
• 8:47
  And at the top,
• 8:49
  I don't know if you can see that,
• 8:51
  it is Austin Hatfield putting James
• 8:54
  Spriggs' Instagram handle and Dallin
• 8:55
  Pepper's and then the word soft under it.
• 8:59
  On the other side,
• 9:00
  it says Ricky Garrard and Jay Crouch don't
• 9:03
  want that BTA,
• 9:06
  which I believe means beat that ass.
• 9:10
  But that's what I know it from from
• 9:13
  football.
• 9:14
  So Austin posted that tagging those in it.
• 9:17
  Dallin reposts it and says,
• 9:20
  imagine not being able to back it up
• 9:22
  at the games with a yawn face.
• 9:30
  Mark Phillips,
• 9:31
  this is the trash talking we were asking
• 9:33
  for.
• 9:33
  Exactly.
• 9:34
  Exactly.
• 9:35
  This is it right down the fairway.
• 9:39
  So, Dallin responds,
• 9:40
  imagine not being able to back that up
• 9:42
  at the games.
• 9:44
  Then we go to exhibit B of this
• 9:47
  exchange.
• 9:49
  Let me stop this share.
• 9:51
  Holy cow.
• 9:52
  I am all out of whack.
• 9:55
  Okay.
• 10:03
  We have this one where Austin comes back
• 10:13
  posting the other two comments.
• 10:15
  Imagine not being able to run or win
• 10:17
  a comp.
• 10:20
  Yawny face snail.
• 10:24
  Then Dallin responds to that by saying,
• 10:26
  I can't run and you still can't beat
• 10:28
  me.
• 10:31
  This stuff is awesome, man.
• 10:34
  This stuff is awesome.
• 10:35
  This is what I'm talking about.
• 10:38
  Now,
• 10:39
  aren't you more interested in watching
• 10:41
  Dallin and Austin go head-to-head at the
• 10:43
  next event?
• 10:45
  Don't you want to see who wins this?
• 10:49
  Because I sure as heck do.
• 10:56
  I am all bought in.
• 10:58
  I'm all bought in on these two going
• 11:00
  head-to-head at the next competition.
• 11:02
  I don't know when it is because Dallin's
• 11:04
  not doing Mayhem.
• 11:07
  And I don't know what they're doing at
• 11:09
  Wadapalooza,
• 11:10
  but I'm betting they're not doing
• 11:12
  individual at Wadapalooza.
• 11:14
  So probably the next time we will see
• 11:16
  this is either at a WFP event or
• 11:19
  the CrossFit Games.
• 11:24
  Mark Phillips says, if you lose,
• 11:26
  don't eat crow either.
• 11:27
  You got to double down.
• 11:29
  I agree.
• 11:31
  I agree.
• 11:32
  You just keep it coming, man.
• 11:35
  Until there's a point where you're toasted
• 11:39
  on the smack talk, right?
• 11:43
  Here's a great example that I've lived.
• 11:45
  The Bears and the Packers.
• 11:47
  For years, for years, we were the nail.
• 11:50
  They were the hammer.
• 11:51
  we were getting hacked or hammered to
• 11:54
  death and never winning a game and so
• 11:56
  for the bears to talk trash talk during
• 11:58
  that time just became irrelevant nobody
• 12:01
  gave two shits what they said about uh
• 12:04
  the green bay packers now this year they
• 12:06
  play three games all determined on the
• 12:09
  last play or overtime of the game and
• 12:14
  the trash talking is at new heights
• 12:16
  because it matters now.
• 12:18
  So as long as these two athletes are
• 12:21
  relevant through the season,
• 12:22
  this trash talking is freaking awesome.
• 12:27
  I just rumors old school shit talking.
• 12:30
  Yes.
• 12:31
  Yes.
• 12:32
  This is what we need to pique our
• 12:33
  interest.
• 12:35
  So now we've got Austin Hatfield involved.
• 12:37
  We've got Colton Mertens involved.
• 12:38
  We've got the boys interrupted involved.
• 12:42
  I just would like to see it spread
• 12:44
  to the women's side a little bit.
• 12:47
  Uh,
• 12:47
  some people talking some trash over there.
• 12:50
  And I'd also like to see a little
• 12:51
  more outside this group of, of people, um,
• 12:58
  If you didn't watch Boys Interrupted last
• 13:00
  night, Jason Hopper basically said,
• 13:02
  he's coming to mayhem,
• 13:03
  and there are only two athletes that even
• 13:06
  scare him a little.
• 13:08
  And one of them is Jeff Adler,
• 13:09
  and he didn't name the other,
• 13:11
  but he said it was between Roman, Colton,
• 13:13
  and Austin.
• 13:17
  So once you figure out the other one,
• 13:19
  the other two, he is totally,
• 13:22
  totally dissing.
• 13:23
  And you know Colton is taking it as
• 13:27
  an insult to him already,
• 13:28
  putting that chip on his shoulder,
• 13:30
  and he's ready to do business.
• 13:36
  He is ready to defend himself at Mayhem
• 13:39
  against Hopper.
• 13:41
  You know Colton is just writhing,
• 13:45
  ready to go.
• 13:46
  Because Colton is one of those athletes
• 13:47
  that need the chip on his shoulder to
• 13:50
  motivate him to go forward.
• 13:52
  That's what he uses as his fuel,
• 13:54
  and it's awesome.
• 13:58
  Frida says,
• 13:59
  the sad thing is that it usually becomes
• 14:01
  personal when women do this.
• 14:03
  I guess,
• 14:04
  I think the sad thing for me is
• 14:06
  the person that it would be best at
• 14:11
  this isn't competing in our season.
• 14:17
  I think Laura has trash talked in the
• 14:19
  past.
• 14:20
  And yes, she's probably,
• 14:22
  and we've talked about this yesterday,
• 14:24
  right?
• 14:26
  Daniel Brandon trash talks,
• 14:27
  I just don't think she's really good at
• 14:29
  it.
• 14:30
  And when someone comes back at her,
• 14:32
  she doesn't take it super well.
• 14:38
  Where Laura doesn't care what you think.
• 14:40
  So she's willing to say those things and
• 14:43
  she's okay with being the bad guy.
• 14:46
  But the bad part is she's established this
• 14:49
  really cool heel character that we don't
• 14:51
  even get to see in the game season.
• 14:54
  I mean, I hope I'm wrong.
• 14:55
  I hope she signs up for the open
• 14:57
  and she does the open.
• 14:58
  I think that would be amazing for the
• 15:00
  women's side of the bracket.
• 15:02
  But I don't think she is.
• 15:05
  And I'm sad that she doesn't.
• 15:14
  Vicky, yeah, DB trash talks,
• 15:15
  but it's coming from taking it personally.
• 15:18
  Laura doesn't give a crap.
• 15:19
  Exactly.
• 15:20
  Exactly.
• 15:20
  Exactly.
• 15:23
  Joseph Ramirez,
• 15:25
  don't dish it out if you can't take
• 15:26
  the smoke.
• 15:28
  It's working for Danielle because nobody
• 15:30
  else is even doing it.
• 15:32
  And so it's made her wildly popular with
• 15:35
  the people in that I don't give a
• 15:37
  shit world.
• 15:39
  Right?
• 15:40
  But
• 15:41
  But she doesn't have a tough enough skin
• 15:45
  to, like, hold up to it yet.
• 15:47
  And maybe she will someday.
• 15:48
  Maybe she won't.
• 15:49
  Maybe that's just her personality.
• 15:50
  I don't know.
• 15:52
  But Laura has the tough skin.
• 15:54
  She really does not give a shit what
• 15:55
  you think at all.
• 16:00
  And I'm sad that that's not going to
• 16:02
  be a part of the season if,
• 16:05
  in fact,
• 16:05
  she doesn't sign up for the Open.
• 16:08
  There's one other thing I wanted to show
• 16:09
  from Instagram before we kind of move on
• 16:12
  to other things.
• 16:13
  It's a new,
• 16:16
  it's a new post by CrossFit featuring Tia
• 16:21
  Toomey.
• 16:24
  And I'm going to try to pause it
• 16:25
  to the right thing and then open it
• 16:27
  for you.
• 16:27
  But I think it's,
• 16:29
  it's got kind of that message.
• 16:31
  So we,
• 16:34
  we all know that that tia is pregnant
• 16:36
  and most likely is not competing this
• 16:39
  season so crossfit put together this reel
• 16:42
  and i'll try to blow it up as
• 16:45
  much as possible here's the ladies and
• 16:48
  gentlemen
• 17:06
  So what's awesome about that is they know
• 17:08
  she's not going to be there.
• 17:10
  The championship is open for anybody to
• 17:13
  take and they put in the line who's
• 17:16
  got next.
• 17:17
  It's out there for everyone to take.
• 17:21
  And who's going to grab it?
• 17:23
  Who's going to grab it?
• 17:25
  Because Tia isn't going to defend it this
• 17:27
  year.
• 17:28
  Who is coming after it?
• 17:30
  And in the verbiage on this one,
• 17:34
  the most dominant games athlete of all
• 17:35
  time started each title run with the open.
• 17:38
  Will we see Tia on the games competition
• 17:42
  floor again?
• 17:43
  If not, who's got next?
• 17:46
  Next.
• 17:50
  It's right there.
• 17:51
  It's right there for everyone to take.
• 17:54
  Who's going to grab it?
• 17:57
  I thought that was a great marketing piece
• 17:59
  by the games team.
• 18:03
  Because that's a storyline.
• 18:05
  That is truly a storyline that they're
• 18:07
  embracing.
• 18:08
  And I think that it's awesome that they're
• 18:10
  doing so.
• 18:13
  Awesome that they're doing so.
• 18:14
  I think that really sends a great message.
• 18:19
  It all starts in the open.
• 18:21
  Everybody gets to play,
• 18:22
  and the championship is wide open for
• 18:24
  anyone to go after.
• 18:26

• 19:03
  So the next thing I have,
• 19:05
  I wanted to talk to you guys about
• 19:06
  is I'm going to share another screen.
• 19:09
  And that is, well, not that.
• 19:18
  Okay.
• 19:19
  Um,
• 19:20
  I saw this on Instagram on Instagram today
• 19:22
  and it was on, uh, Jenny dense updates,
• 19:26
  a story.
• 19:27
  So I screenshotted it and this was here
• 19:32
  and I,
• 19:32
  and I have some thoughts about this.
• 19:35
  So it's actually posted by,
• 19:38
  and I'm trying to read this Coppola,
• 19:41
  a kilo Coppola kilo Coppola kilo.
• 19:45
  Um,
• 19:47
  Anyone remember the Central East Regionals
• 19:49
  back in the day?
• 19:51
  Two-level competition, nowhere to hide.
• 19:55
  Top-level competition, nowhere to hide.
• 19:57
  Choices were made for you.
• 19:59
  Life wasn't fair.
• 20:00
  Elite guys were going to miss out.
• 20:03
  Gone are the days of fighting.
• 20:04
  Now it's mostly self-negotiation.
• 20:07
  And what's better for me,
• 20:09
  it's different now.
• 20:10
  It's just different now.
• 20:13
  So I know we all love regionals,
• 20:16
  and I love regionals too.
• 20:18
  I thought it was great for the community.
• 20:19
  I thought it brought a lot of fans
• 20:21
  to the ballpark.
• 20:22
  I thought that you had great competitions.
• 20:27
  But let's not fool ourselves.
• 20:29
  There was self-negotiation in the regional
• 20:33
  days.
• 20:35
  To make this statement,
• 20:36
  you're forgetting some very significant
• 20:38
  facts.
• 20:41
  Dan Bailey left the Central East and went
• 20:43
  to California and lived on a boat for
• 20:45
  a better shot at making the games.
• 20:48
  Margo Alvarez competed in like three or
• 20:50
  four different regionals,
• 20:52
  bouncing from regional to regional to have
• 20:54
  better shots at the games.
• 20:56
  And they are just two of several people
• 20:59
  who bounced from hard regions to easy
• 21:03
  regions to have better shots at the games.
• 21:06
  It happened all the time.
• 21:08
  Things weren't chosen for you as long as
• 21:11
  you had a residence inside that region
• 21:14
  before,
• 21:14
  I think it was January first of the
• 21:18
  game's calendar season.
• 21:20
  You were then put in that competitive
• 21:22
  region for that year.
• 21:26
  So to say that it's different now,
• 21:29
  just different now, it isn't.
• 21:33
  Yes,
• 21:33
  Central East had a murderous row of
• 21:35
  athletes in it at times.
• 21:38
  But a lot of people made the choice
• 21:39
  to get up and get out and move
• 21:42
  to a different location so that they had
• 21:45
  an easier path to the games.
• 21:49
  And I hate the fact that people are
• 21:51
  attacking,
• 21:52
  especially the boys interrupted,
• 21:54
  about turning down Mayhem.
• 21:56
  Mayhem is only one of three,
• 21:59
  four competitions in North America.
• 22:02
  People can choose other competitions for
• 22:05
  reasons other than competition.
• 22:11
  I said it yesterday.
• 22:12
  I said it last night.
• 22:13
  They all live on the West Coast.
• 22:15
  They all live on the West Coast.
• 22:17
  Why in the hell would you fly to
• 22:19
  Tennessee, have to land in Nashville,
• 22:22
  get a rental car,
• 22:23
  drive an hour to Cookville to compete
• 22:27
  there?
• 22:28
  When you have Del Mar as an option,
• 22:30
  you have NorCal as an option.
• 22:33
  Both in California on the West Coast,
• 22:35
  which are much easier travel destinations
• 22:38
  for everybody that's for Dallin, Justin,
• 22:40
  and James.
• 22:41
  They're all on the West Coast.
• 22:43
  Those are so much easier to get to
• 22:45
  than Mayhem.
• 22:48
  Plus, it's their choice.
• 22:50
  It's the way the rules are built this
• 22:52
  year.
• 22:52
  Why are we attacking people for making a
• 22:54
  choice to go to another semifinal?
• 22:58
  I love Syndicate Crown.
• 22:59
  I love Wilson Pack.
• 23:01
  I think he's awesome.
• 23:03
  Why would I spurn him just to go
• 23:06
  to mayhem?
• 23:09
  I find it just mind-blowing that people
• 23:13
  can't get their heads wrapped around this.
• 23:15
  And they forget the details of the
• 23:17
  regionals where people did this stuff all
• 23:19
  the time.
• 23:20
  All the time.
• 23:23
  John George Echoes, my all the time.
• 23:27
  All the time.
• 23:32
  Kenneth,
• 23:32
  are athletes picking based on programming
• 23:34
  they think will favor them the most?
• 23:37
  I think there are so many factors.
• 23:39
  To pin it down to one factor is
• 23:40
  unfair.
• 23:42
  I think travel is an issue.
• 23:45
  I think that schedule is an issue.
• 23:47
  I think programming is a fact.
• 23:49
  I think looking at the competition is a
• 23:52
  fact.
• 23:53
  If you're the boys interrupted,
• 23:54
  there's four of you.
• 23:56
  If there's only two or three slots at
• 23:58
  an event, half of you aren't making it.
• 24:02
  You just can't.
• 24:04
  So why would you put all your eggs
• 24:06
  in one basket that, you know,
• 24:07
  half of you and your crew aren't going
• 24:09
  to make it to the games?
• 24:21
  Jay Burson could go back to the old
• 24:22
  system,
• 24:23
  making them go only where they live.
• 24:25
  But that got people changed addresses.
• 24:29
  People said their address was different.
• 24:32
  Like, my God, there was a year where,
• 24:36
  oh, gosh,
• 24:38
  Tyler Christoffel and is it Bailey?
• 24:43
  No.
• 24:46
  They lived in the same damn house and
• 24:48
  they got put in two different regions
• 24:50
  because they reported a different address.
• 24:57
  There's so many,
• 24:58
  so many different reasons why.
• 25:01
  Jonathan says,
• 25:02
  Dallin picked Del Mar because he thinks
• 25:03
  Del Mar is cool and wants to compete
• 25:04
  there.
• 25:05
  That's a reason.
• 25:06
  There's so many reasons other than fear.
• 25:09
  Like saying that these guys are afraid to
• 25:11
  come is a little over the top.
• 25:21
  Ortega hated that system.
• 25:24
  Every system has been gamed.
• 25:27
  To say that regionals was a different time
• 25:29
  and done differently is just not knowing
• 25:32
  your history of the sport.
• 25:40
  If anything,
• 25:40
  they should limit the amount of comps.
• 25:42
  I agree.
• 25:48
  Okay.
• 25:52
  Vicky said that he was on the WOD
• 25:54
  prep show last night with J.Y.,
• 25:56
  and he was asked that,
• 25:58
  and he did say that he thinks that
• 26:01
  Delmar is cool and he wants to go
• 26:02
  there,
• 26:02
  and it's also convenient because it's
• 26:04
  closer to him now.
• 26:09
  I agree, Ortega.
• 26:10
  Mayhem is just trolling to keep the
• 26:11
  conversations going.
• 26:13
  I think that that's what mayhem was doing,
• 26:15
  but then what it's caused now is all
• 26:17
  these people on the internet going after
• 26:19
  the boys interrupted.
• 26:20
  I watched their show last night and people
• 26:22
  in the chat are all going,
• 26:24
  why aren't you going to mayhem?
• 26:25
  Why aren't you going to mayhem?
• 26:27
  Why aren't you going to mayhem?
• 26:28
  I mean, just think for yourselves,
• 26:30
  people like if you have four options, you,
• 26:34
  there's a variety of reasons why you would
• 26:35
  pick one other than that.
• 26:46
  The biggest concern is not getting big
• 26:47
  names to your event.
• 26:48
  The good lead to lower gate sales.
• 26:55
  I think I know what you're saying.
• 26:57
  You're trying to get the best athletes
• 26:58
  there to get the most amount of sales.
• 27:03
  Mayhem can only sell so many tickets,
• 27:05
  and they're going to sell out.
• 27:07
  They are going to clear their gate because
• 27:11
  the fire code on their building is only
• 27:13
  so much.
• 27:14
  It can only get that many people in
• 27:16
  the building.
• 27:17
  And they fill it every time they hold
• 27:18
  a competition.
• 27:20
  They get to that number.
• 27:23
  So I understand my mistake is expecting
• 27:31
  people online to actually think you're
• 27:33
  right.
• 27:33
  You're right.
• 27:37
  Vicky,
• 27:38
  but it's got people talking about it and
• 27:40
  then more so if it wasn't happening.
• 27:45
  I guess,
• 27:47
  I think I'd want to talk more towards
• 27:49
  the event time when you want people to
• 27:51
  watch the stream.
• 27:53
  Because again, they're going to sell.
• 27:54
  Mayhem is going to sell out.
• 27:56
  They're going to sell out every year they
• 27:57
  hold a competition.
• 27:59
  Last year,
• 28:00
  I think they actually said they went over
• 28:02
  the fire code by accident.
• 28:05
  So they fill that as much as they're
• 28:08
  legally allowed to fill that building.
• 28:11
  And that's the charm of it.
• 28:12
  People want to go there because everything
• 28:14
  is so confined and so close.
• 28:16
  And you're rubbing elbows with CrossFit
• 28:19
  royalty if you go to that place.
• 28:22
  and that is going to sell out every
• 28:24
  single year.
• 28:25
  I think it's actually a way to look
• 28:28
  at doing competitions in the future before
• 28:31
  you get to the biggest,
• 28:33
  like the games or something like that,
• 28:35
  because when you watch Mayhem,
• 28:37
  you see the crowd.
• 28:38
  You see all the people there.
• 28:39
  It looks awesome when it's streamed.
• 28:42
  It projects a good image for this,
• 28:45
  the sport.
• 28:48
  Judy, who was there last year,
• 28:49
  says it's packed.
• 28:50
  Hard to spectate.
• 28:51
  It's more for the experience of being at
• 28:54
  Mayhem.
• 28:55
  See, they have so many people there,
• 28:56
  you can't even get near the floor.
• 29:02
  Interesting.
• 29:03
  I think Mayhem lost money last year.
• 29:05
  There's a recent video from them where
• 29:07
  Rich mentions not doing a live stream if
• 29:09
  they don't get a good broadcast deal.
• 29:11
  I know that they bemoaned the fact how
• 29:14
  much they...
• 29:15
  They paid for the games crew to come
• 29:17
  in and broadcast that event last year.
• 29:20
  And they paid a lot of money to
• 29:21
  get them.
• 29:23
  And every event organizer I've ever talked
• 29:26
  to, the biggest expense is the stream.
• 29:30
  The biggest expense is the stream.
• 29:32
  You have to get...
• 29:34
  We have to find lower...
• 29:37
  cost ways to stream these events or
• 29:40
  they're just not going to be streamed
• 29:43
  they're just not or take us as ma'am
• 29:51
  sells out and it's packed and i can't
• 29:53
  move around and shoot photos but it's good
• 29:56
  yeah uh vicky says i feel you judy
• 30:01
  i'm short so it just was a struggle
• 30:03
  i'd find a spot on the rail and
• 30:05
  not move yep
• 30:08
  everybody agrees when you go to those
• 30:10
  events it's a great experience it's a
• 30:13
  great experience yeah there are issues
• 30:17
  with it there are issues trying to find
• 30:19
  spots but
• 30:22
  Back to the original discussion point.
• 30:24
  We have had this issue forever that people
• 30:27
  are hopping regions,
• 30:29
  going to different competitions to benefit
• 30:31
  themselves and give them a better chance.
• 30:33
  It's been going on since I started
• 30:35
  watching CrossFit back in two thousand
• 30:38
  twelve.
• 30:39
  People were jumping regions.
• 30:42
  So to say that it's different now is
• 30:44
  just just not knowing your facts about the
• 30:48
  history.
• 30:50
  Because just go look at the old CrossFit
• 30:54
  leaderboards.
• 30:54
  Pick an athlete like Margo Alvarez.
• 30:57
  See how many regionals she participated in
• 31:01
  when it shows the regional data on the
• 31:02
  side.
• 31:03
  You will see, like, she won the Midwest.
• 31:08
  She won the South.
• 31:09
  She won.
• 31:10
  It changes so often.
• 31:11
  And I love Margo.
• 31:13
  Margo and I are tight.
• 31:15
  But the fact of the matter is she
• 31:17
  just bounced from place to place.
• 31:27
  um uh judy wants to meet up with
• 31:31
  vicky this year that'd be cool i love
• 31:33
  when people get to meet each other uh
• 31:38
  corey london i heard tell of a crew
• 31:40
  who can shoot a comp yeah be friendly
• 31:42
  fitness does that i think uh
• 31:52
  I think what Souza and Sivan have done
• 31:55
  is awesome.
• 31:56
  But now here we are in the next
• 31:58
  year,
• 31:59
  and now they are wanted by two
• 32:03
  competitions.
• 32:04
  They're wanted by Syndicate Crown,
• 32:06
  and they're wanted by NorCal,
• 32:07
  and they're both on the same weekend.
• 32:09
  And because they're one team,
• 32:11
  it's really hard to replicate what they
• 32:12
  do.
• 32:14
  I wish we could find a way to
• 32:17
  have a B team for them so they
• 32:20
  could do more than one.
• 32:23
  I just,
• 32:25
  it just sucks the way it's kind of
• 32:27
  scheduled now where two of the major North
• 32:29
  American competitions are on the same
• 32:32
  exact weekend.
• 32:34
  And that we cannot find a way to
• 32:37
  get a lower cost streaming service to both
• 32:41
  competitions and let them be able to
• 32:44
  broadcast.
• 32:51
  Sten says, if you're able,
• 32:53
  you go where you have the best chance
• 32:55
  to win.
• 32:56
  I don't, plus there's prize money, man.
• 32:58
  If you want to win prizes and win
• 32:59
  money for these things,
• 33:01
  that's a factor too.
• 33:03
  Like NorCal always pays more than other
• 33:06
  competitions.
• 33:07
  So people will sign up for NorCal just
• 33:09
  for the money.
• 33:17
  I mean, we talked about last night, like,
• 33:19
  if you're a bubble athlete and you didn't
• 33:21
  make any money at the games last year,
• 33:23
  why wouldn't you try for Mexico City and
• 33:25
  WFP,
• 33:26
  take the bag and let that help fund
• 33:29
  the rest of your season?
• 33:34
  That's the only thing I think that is
• 33:37
  where WFP can be of significance in the
• 33:41
  season.
• 33:50
  Just use them to fund your CrossFit game
• 33:55
  season or your competitive season.
• 34:04
  Go get the bag.
• 34:12
  Jonathan says,
• 34:13
  that's what I've been saying.
• 34:14
  You just say it more eloquently.
• 34:20
  Yeah.
• 34:21
  I think that you're going to see the
• 34:23
  WFP become the sport for the bubble
• 34:25
  athlete.
• 34:27
  The athletes that don't have the big
• 34:28
  dollar sponsorships,
• 34:30
  the athletes that don't get the automatic
• 34:33
  invites to different competitions.
• 34:37
  I think that's where you're going to see
• 34:38
  them kind of flourish.
• 34:42
  So the last thing I want to talk
• 34:43
  about before I head back to work is,
• 34:45
  I don't know if you guys watched Dave's
• 34:47
  Week in Review yesterday,
• 34:50
  but at the end of it,
• 34:51
  I saw a Dave Castro I've never seen
• 34:53
  before.
• 34:53
  And this really has nothing to do with
• 34:55
  CrossFit.
• 34:55
  I just,
• 34:56
  it's just something that made me say, hmm.
• 34:59
  And at the very end of his Week
• 35:01
  in Review,
• 35:01
  he talks about the movie Zero Dark Thirty.
• 35:05
  Someone wrote in in the comments that
• 35:10
  Do these memoirs and books and stuff that
• 35:13
  are coming out from different military
• 35:16
  people, are they designed or are they,
• 35:21
  I think he called it like,
• 35:22
  are they an op for the government to
• 35:24
  use as a recruiting tool?
• 35:29
  And he said, absolutely.
• 35:33
  And then Kenneth says he was talking about
• 35:36
  the wrong movie.
• 35:37
  So Kenneth, if you can correct me,
• 35:39
  I'm just talking about his reaction to it
• 35:41
  all.
• 35:43
  Recruitment psyop,
• 35:44
  that's what he was asked about.
• 35:47
  And he said Zero Dark Thirty.
• 35:49
  Kenneth is saying that's the wrong movie.
• 35:50
  But there was a movie that was funded
• 35:52
  by the government and the Navy and used
• 35:58
  real Navy SEALs to act in the movie.
• 36:03
  And he said it really created a divide
• 36:07
  in the service because, um,
• 36:11
  Because what they were always preached not
• 36:14
  to do,
• 36:15
  the Navy did themselves and funded this
• 36:19
  thing as a recruitment tool.
• 36:21
  And it really created a divide with those
• 36:24
  people.
• 36:25
  And they started to write their memoirs,
• 36:27
  started to write their books because their
• 36:29
  attitude was,
• 36:30
  they tell us not to do these things
• 36:33
  to keep all this stuff to themselves.
• 36:34
  But then they went ahead and did it.
• 36:37
  And now they said, well,
• 36:38
  I'm going to do it too.
• 36:39
  If they're going to do it,
• 36:41
  If the people telling us not to do
• 36:43
  it are going to do it,
• 36:43
  then I'm going to do it too.
• 36:45
  And for the first time I'd ever seen
• 36:48
  a reaction from Dave that he was truly
• 36:51
  offended.
• 36:53
  Like I've seen Dave upset.
• 36:55
  I've seen Dave mad.
• 36:59
  But he just seemed completely,
• 37:00
  completely offended by what had transpired
• 37:04
  during this time.
• 37:07
  Kenneth is saying Act of Valor was the
• 37:09
  one with the real Navy SEALs.
• 37:13
  But both are recruiting tools for sure.
• 37:17
  Corey says, do as I say,
• 37:18
  not as I do.
• 37:20
  And Kenneth says, classic military.
• 37:23
  and I don't really want to have a
• 37:25
  big lengthy discussion about this, but I,
• 37:27
  I just wanted to comment on like,
• 37:30
  I'd never seen Dave Castro offended.
• 37:33
  I've seen him upset.
• 37:35
  Like when I volunteered at the games in,
• 37:37
  in,
• 37:38
  And he did not like the way things
• 37:40
  were set up.
• 37:41
  He was angry.
• 37:42
  He was yelling.
• 37:43
  He was mad.
• 37:44
  Like you see when someone like pushes a
• 37:46
  button on a comment on the weekend review,
• 37:50
  this was a different look.
• 37:51
  This was a different reaction.
• 37:54
  And I'd never seen Dave have,
• 37:56
  it's like this one really hurt.
• 38:01
  Um, and Jonathan said, yeah,
• 38:03
  it's a slap in the face.
• 38:07
  That's exactly what it looked like.
• 38:08
  It looked like someone had truly just
• 38:10
  backhanded him across the cheek and it was
• 38:13
  a slap in the face.
• 38:17
  Kenneth said he did seem pretty
• 38:19
  uncharacteristically emotional at the end.
• 38:21
  It caught me off guard because I'm just
• 38:23
  not used to seeing Dave that way.
• 38:26
  And I just found it fascinating and wanted
• 38:31
  to bring it up.
• 38:35
  John George says he referenced Zero Dark
• 38:37
  Thirty.
• 38:38
  Yeah,
• 38:39
  but Kenneth says he thinks it's actually
• 38:42
  Act of Valor is the movie he's talking
• 38:44
  about because that's the one with real
• 38:46
  Navy SEALs in it.
• 38:51
  But he said Zero Dark Thirty was super
• 38:52
  popular.
• 38:53
  I don't know Act of Valor as much
• 38:55
  as I know Zero Dark Thirty.
• 38:58
  And he did reference the popularity of the
• 39:00
  movie.
• 39:00
  So I don't know.
• 39:04
  Um, Jonathan says, yes,
• 39:05
  it's really shitty because people have
• 39:06
  gotten fired from positions for less and
• 39:09
  have gotten reprimanded for some dumb
• 39:11
  shit.
• 39:11
  And that's exactly like what he was
• 39:15
  saying.
• 39:16
  Like here you are telling us we can't
• 39:18
  do this and you go ahead and do
• 39:20
  it to use it as a mark as
• 39:22
  a marketing and recruitment tool.
• 39:24
  And, um, and so, yeah.
• 39:35
  Kenna says Chris Pratt isn't a SEAL,
• 39:37
  but he did stay at a Holiday Inn
• 39:39
  Express last night.
• 39:42
  Yeah.
• 39:43
  So I just found that very,
• 39:45
  very interesting.
• 39:47
  as just a topic.
• 39:48
  And then the funny thing was,
• 39:50
  then he went to, well, I was,
• 39:52
  I mean,
• 39:52
  what made me want to be a SEAL
• 39:54
  was watching The Rock and the challenge
• 39:58
  of,
• 39:58
  would I be able to do that kind
• 40:00
  of stuff?
• 40:00
  And that's what sent him down the avenue.
• 40:04
  So it kind of ended on like a
• 40:05
  little bit of a positive note that there
• 40:07
  was a movie that inspired him to be
• 40:10
  a Navy SEAL or special ops.
• 40:12
  And that's what pushed him into that.
• 40:17
  Pushed him into that avenue.
• 40:19
  A great Nicolas Cage movie.
• 40:21
  Yeah.
• 40:22
  I think Sean Connery was freaking awesome
• 40:24
  in that movie.
• 40:30
  Yep.
• 40:30
  John says he also said that was what
• 40:32
  got him interested in becoming a CEO.
• 40:33
  Yep.
• 40:38
  watching the rock that was kind of funny
• 40:39
  to hear yeah i not with the movie
• 40:41
  i expected to be the inspiration for
• 40:43
  someone to be a seal fun movie great
• 40:46
  movie not sure how realistic i thought it
• 40:48
  was um but sure uh kenneth says dave
• 40:55
  went too introspective on i don't know if
• 40:57
  it's too introspective it's okay to be
• 40:59
  introspective right
• 41:01
  It's okay.
• 41:02
  He's not in the military anymore.
• 41:03
  He's not on an operation.
• 41:06
  I think people can be introspective.
• 41:08
  I think it's just a side of Dave
• 41:10
  we haven't seen.
• 41:11
  And it just was odd.
• 41:15
  I'm not upset about it.
• 41:16
  I don't think he did anything wrong.
• 41:19
  I just was caught off guard by the
• 41:21
  way he reacted to it all.
• 41:26
  Too much for him.
• 41:27
  He probably isn't used to it.
• 41:28
  I don't disagree with that statement.
• 41:33
  Um, Kenneth says he actually loved it.
• 41:37
  Yeah.
• 41:38
  I, I loved it.
• 41:39
  The introspection.
• 41:39
  I love getting to know a little bit
• 41:42
  more about Dave.
• 41:43
  We don't really know the guy.
• 41:44
  He is so close to the vest about
• 41:47
  everything in his life that we don't
• 41:49
  really get to see that side of him.
• 41:52
  So I thought it was good.
• 41:54
  That all happens in like the last five
• 41:55
  minutes of the week in review.
• 41:56

  And then Savon did a week in review.
• 42:04
  I haven't caught his version of it,
• 42:07
  but I'm sure they talked about it there
• 42:08
  too.
• 42:11
  So, uh, with that,
• 42:13

  makes one of those.
• 42:53
  We can review if you notice how he
