0:33
going on everybody it is
0:34
lunch time with the
0:35
Clydesdale it is Friday and
0:40
I'm I wish I was more
0:42
excited wish I was more
0:44
excited but I am going to
0:47
Pennsylvania as soon as I'm
0:49
done with work this
0:49
afternoon and that's a four
0:51
hour drive to go to my
0:54
mom's house and celebrate
0:55
her eightieth birthday
0:56
which happened yesterday
0:57
but we're having a party
0:58
for her tomorrow but I am road weary man
1:03
I am road weary and, uh,
1:10
That trip out west and back
1:13
and getting right back to
1:14
work took a lot out of me.
1:16
And I'm trying to get back
1:18
into the swing of things
1:19
and now disrupting the
1:20
weekend to go do this.
1:22
And then Tuesday, my wife has surgery.
1:25
Man,
1:26
it's just a lot like in the file
1:28
cabinet of things we got to do coming up.
1:31
And I'm just...
1:33
I'm just kind of blah.
1:34
I've got to get pumped.
1:35
I've got to get excited.
1:39
And hopefully you guys can do that for me.
1:41
What's going on, Sarah?
1:43
Happy Friday.
1:44
Ken Walters with a big hello.
1:46
And Andrew Sten, it's Friday.
1:48
It is.
1:52
Ken says it's overhead squat day.
1:54
Pukie.
1:55
Oh, my gosh.
1:55
That is my favorite movement
1:57
in all of CrossFit.
1:59
There's nothing I love more
2:01
than an overhead squat.
2:03
Um,
2:05
it took me so long to like kind of
2:07
master it.
2:08
And, um, and it's,
2:12
it's that movement that you
2:13
have to have like eight
2:14
things correct to be successful.
2:17
And if you have seventy nine,
2:18
it's not enough.
2:20
Um, and so I just love the skill of that.
2:24
Um,
2:26
You know,
2:27
it takes all the shoulder
2:28
mobility that one can have.
2:31
It takes getting deep into
2:34
the hip crease with balance,
2:38
all of that stuff.
2:39
I just love, love, love,
2:44
love overhead squats.
2:47
I would do them all the time if I could.
2:49
Meredith Jones says, happy Friday.
2:53
Sarah Cooper,
2:54
be excited to get to see your mom.
2:57
I'm guessing you don't see
2:58
her as much as you would
2:59
like if she is that far away.
3:02
Yeah,
3:03
we've been doing about at least once
3:05
a month to go see her.
3:08
Of course,
3:09
if you guys have been following along,
3:10
she had the stroke a couple of weeks ago,
3:12
a month ago, two months ago,
3:14
something like that.
3:16
And she's bounced back
3:17
beautifully from that.
3:19
I am excited to see my mom.
3:20
I'm just not excited to be on the road,
3:23
especially trying to get
3:23
out of Columbus at rush hour.
3:25
It's just awful.
3:26
But because of the timing of
3:28
everything this weekend,
3:28
we have to go tonight.
3:30
Generally,
3:30
we would just sleep in our beds tonight,
3:33
get up super early and do
3:35
the drive in the morning tomorrow.
3:37
But the party's tomorrow and
3:38
we have to get there and
3:39
decorate for the morning.
3:42
So we have to just we have
3:43
to fight the traffic out of town tonight.
3:45
And that's really what I'm
3:46
not looking forward to the most.
3:49
And heck,
3:50
I may make my wife drive tonight
3:52
and just be a passenger
3:55
since she didn't make the trip out west.
3:59
That might just make it
4:00
easier on me altogether.
4:05
But I am excited to see my mom.
4:06
Always excited to see her.
4:07
Like I said yesterday,
4:08
she's a true inspiration to me.
4:10
I love her to death and
4:12
can't wait to be with her this weekend.
4:15
So, thank you for the...
4:20
the reminder, Sarah,
4:22
that that was a good one.
4:25
So wanted to talk about a
4:26
couple of things.
4:27
Um, if you guys did not see, um,
4:30
Emily Rolfe and Alex,
4:32
Alex Kazan announced that
4:34
they are not participating
4:36
in this weekend's in affiliate semifinal,
4:43
that it kind of boggles my mind.
4:47
And then I thought about it, and I thought,
4:50
you know, for Emily,
4:52
you got to do heavy Elizabeth again.
4:54
That's not going to be your strong suit.
4:56
You're in a much larger
4:57
field than you would be at a semifinal.
5:00
If she doesn't do well at heavy Elizabeth,
5:02
like what happened at Mayhem,
5:05
she finishes seventeenth or eighteenth.
5:08
If she doesn't do well in
5:09
heavy Elizabeth in the
5:10
in-person affiliate semifinal,
5:14
she may finish...
5:16
five hundredth six hundredth
5:19
um on isabel I'm sorry did
5:21
I say the wrong thing on
5:22
isabel um and so that alone
5:29
could take her out of
5:30
contention in this weekend
5:32
and why why spend all that
5:35
energy when you have a
5:37
couple more opportunities left
5:40
Now for Alex, I don't really see the risk.
5:43
I know her one rep max
5:45
snatch has always been a problem,
5:47
but she can cycle a snatch really well.
5:53
So that one confuses me a little bit more.
5:57
And there's not a lot being
5:58
said as to the why on those.
6:02
But I was really surprised because,
6:04
as Sarah said,
6:08
it's a risky business move.
6:09
It is.
6:09
Taking away an opportunity
6:11
to qualify for the games, I think,
6:13
is risky at this point.
6:15
There are so few left.
6:19
especially here in the States.
6:23
There's NorCal, there's TFX,
6:27
and there's Syndicate.
6:28
Now, TFX and Syndicate,
6:30
only half the country can go to each one.
6:32
So really,
6:33
there's only one of those two
6:35
and NorCal if you either
6:36
got an invite or you did
6:38
the online qualifier.
6:42
And so it's getting really
6:42
tight for four in-person spots.
6:48
opportunities.
6:50
I know there are six,
6:51
but you can only do either
6:53
TFX or syndicate.
6:54
So that's four tickets total
6:57
after this weekend that
6:59
they'll be able to go after.
7:02
So I think it is a risky
7:05
business move and it's
7:06
going to be interesting to
7:08
see how it plays out.
7:11
And especially with all the
7:13
women not doing it.
7:15
I mean, Laura's not doing it.
7:17
Tia said she's not doing it.
7:21
Emma Lawson's not doing it this year.
7:24
There's a lot of big names
7:25
that make this in-affiliate semifinal,
7:29
I think,
7:29
easier to qualify for than most years.
7:33
Now, again,
7:34
I see Emily's issue with Isabel
7:36
being in her way.
7:38
And that she could fall way
7:39
down the leaderboard and
7:41
really take herself out of
7:42
contention with one event.
7:47
And I think that's, that's,
7:49
that's a part of the design
7:51
that hasn't really been
7:52
talked about before.
7:53
If you have one really bad
7:54
event and you went to in the,
7:58
in years past syndicate or
8:01
West coast classic,
8:03
you could have one bad
8:04
event and you would only,
8:05
the worst you could do is fortieth,
8:07
right?
8:10
And, um, and,
8:12
but now in the end affiliate semifinal,
8:14
you could finish five
8:15
hundredth in an event and
8:17
completely take yourself
8:18
out of contention, uh,
8:21
for this weekend totally.
8:22
And so that's gotta be a
8:24
factor in some of these decisions.
8:26
And it wasn't a factor in
8:27
semifinals in years past.
8:31
Um, um,
8:35
Barbell spins in the house.
8:36
NorCal is shaping up to be wild.
8:38
It sure is.
8:40
There's going to be a lot of
8:41
people going for two spots
8:43
in the last event of the year.
8:45
And the streaming numbers
8:49
for that have got to be wild.
8:54
But this is the same problem
8:55
when semifinals programming
8:57
is the same like last year.
9:00
I don't disagree.
9:01
I don't disagree.
9:05
Sarah, it could be good for others though.
9:07
I hope Rebecca F makes it.
9:09
People being out of the
9:11
online could really help her.
9:13
It really could.
9:21
Mike Halpin with,
9:23
in an article on Morning Chalk Up,
9:25
Kotler noted the stress of
9:26
video submissions and public reviews.
9:32
You can't be stressed on public reviews.
9:36
that's got to be the way
9:37
things are done moving
9:38
forward in order to have
9:40
the best of the best make it.
9:45
And now that Davis said that
9:46
they're adding a comment section,
9:48
which I hope happens this weekend,
9:51
but at least it'll happen
9:52
for the twenty six season.
9:53
That's a good thing and
9:56
should clean up some of the
9:57
mess that is a part of the online review.
10:02
But you're a pro athlete.
10:06
Everybody that plays pro
10:07
sports gets judged in their performance.
10:10
Every baseball player gets
10:12
judged on how they
10:13
performed in the playoffs.
10:14
Every football player gets
10:16
judged on how they played that game.
10:18
Yeah, I understand that, Mike.
10:24
I understand it's a reason, not the reason,
10:26
but you can't be afraid of
10:28
the public reviews on the videos.
10:32
just can't be as a pro
10:33
athlete it's part of the
10:35
game and it needs to be
10:36
part of the game the other
10:40
thing I was going to bring
10:41
up is uh we talked earlier
10:43
on the sunday night show
10:45
about rebecca I'm sorry we
10:47
talked about elisa fuliano
10:50
um finishing second at
10:53
wadland fest and not having
10:55
a spot at the games because
10:57
she did not do the open she
10:59
actually released a statement on that
11:05
and here is her instagram uh
11:09
she says I walked away from
11:11
what many dream of to stay
11:13
true to who I am I didn't
11:15
chase it this year and yet
11:16
last weekend second place
11:17
finish would have earned me
11:19
my fourth consecutive
11:20
qualification to the crossfit games
11:23
She talks about that she
11:25
didn't have the pressure
11:26
she did in years past
11:27
because she didn't do the
11:29
Open and it wasn't first
11:30
spots of the games.
11:31
And she really enjoyed that
11:32
she competed better with that setup.
11:38
And then she writes,
11:39
if you're wondering whether
11:40
I regret my decision, I don't.
11:42
I won't be at the CrossFit
11:43
Games this year because I
11:44
chose not to go.
11:45
Not because I'm not fit enough.
11:47
I made the decision back at
11:48
the start of the season
11:49
when I chose not to
11:50
register for the Open.
11:53
But I've proven to myself
11:54
that the work I put in this
11:55
year would have brought me
11:57
once again to compete with
11:58
the top thirty athletes in the world.
12:00
This awareness is what
12:01
matters the most to me right now.
12:03
Standing up for your values
12:04
isn't always the easiest thing.
12:07
Sometimes it means saying no
12:08
or having the courage to
12:10
make uncomfortable choices.
12:12
And it goes on for another
12:14
another page there.
12:18
And I think that we talked
12:19
about on the Sunday show, we didn't,
12:21
we didn't have a problem
12:22
with her making that decision.
12:23
What we had a problem with
12:25
is the event combining
12:28
people who could qualify
12:29
for the games and not
12:30
qualify for the games makes
12:32
it confusing when you're
12:34
trying to explain how
12:36
people make it to the games
12:38
through these qualifying events.
12:43
Spin says to read it in Italian.
12:46
No, no way.
12:50
That is rough.
12:52
So I will skip that part.
12:54
Um, but anyway,
12:56
it just makes it confusing
12:57
when you're trying to
12:58
explain to your friends how
12:59
this season works and you
13:01
see this person up there on the podium,
13:03
but they don't have a
13:04
ticket and the person in third place does,
13:07
but the person in second doesn't.
13:09
Why does that happen?
13:10
And it's just harder to explain.
13:13
Um, and if you want to grow the sport,
13:15
you need to make it simple to understand.
13:20
Um,
13:22
And what's crazy,
13:24
and I knew this was going to come up,
13:26
but this weekend we're
13:27
going to have probably the
13:30
biggest... It's going to be
13:33
the largest amount of
13:33
people qualifying for the games,
13:35
and we don't really get to see it.
13:37
The only way we will get to
13:38
see it is to go watch the
13:40
videos that go up for
13:41
public review after all this is done.
13:46
And so it's...
13:48
it really stinks that we
13:49
don't get to see some version of this.
13:52
I was really hoping that
13:54
some athletes would do
13:56
something like they did
13:57
with Siobhan a couple years ago,
13:59
or four or five of them
14:00
would video their semifinal workouts,
14:03
and we could at least see
14:04
how it plays out in a small
14:07
competition setting,
14:08
or even if Proven found a
14:10
way to broadcast this
14:12
in-affiliate throwdown
14:13
they're doing with all of their athletes.
14:16
That would be fun to watch
14:21
in some manner to see how
14:23
that all plays out.
14:27
T-Bird says it's confusing every year.
14:29
I don't disagree with that,
14:30
but we should find a way to
14:32
make it not confusing.
14:37
Sarah Cooper says you can
14:38
watch Tyler do them incorrectly.
14:41
Okay, there's that.
14:46
I know this is the reason behind it.
14:48
Too much on the line to do
14:49
it at this stage of the year.
14:50
Sure is.
14:52
And they've given less time for redos.
14:55
So they have less time to go
14:57
back and do it again.
15:00
So I get it.
15:08
We talked about this yesterday.
15:10
Athletes will do online this weekend,
15:12
but going to French and TFX
15:14
won't know if they've
15:15
already qualified or not as
15:16
review still occurs.
15:18
Exactly.
15:20
So they are backfilling
15:22
because the leaderboard
15:23
wouldn't be final.
15:24
They're backfilling the online version.
15:29
They're not backfilling TFX and French.
15:35
So what will happen is if
15:36
you're watching TFX or French,
15:39
the people that get their
15:40
spots will get their spots.
15:42
And then if they qualify in the online,
15:45
those spots will be backfilled.
15:50
So.
15:55
uh andrew stent has I think
15:56
there was a the semi-final
15:58
portion of an event should
16:00
only be open to those
16:00
eligible to qualify for the
16:02
game season or for the
16:04
games um she took a
16:07
competition spot from
16:08
someone else who wanted to
16:09
shot the games and uh
16:12
barbell spins response
16:13
wadland invited seventy
16:14
women it was fine yeah way
16:17
too many way too many heats um
16:23
I do think that if you are
16:24
going to define what your
16:25
season is and ways to qualify,
16:28
that those events that are
16:30
defined as part of your
16:31
season should be exclusive
16:33
to those trying to advance
16:35
in that season.
16:37
That only makes sense.
16:41
You don't see the NFL all of a sudden say,
16:44
hey, Toronto Argonauts,
16:45
come down and play in the
16:46
NFL playoffs and see how you do.
16:49
You won't advance,
16:50
but maybe you upset
16:51
somebody and you can take
16:53
that home and feel proud because of that.
17:04
Another example,
17:05
Olympic trials don't allow
17:06
people to compete who
17:07
aren't eligible to qualify
17:08
for the Olympics, do they?
17:09
They do not.
17:13
Sarah reminds us mayhem was
17:15
the same mayhem had people who,
17:17
if they would have one
17:18
would not have advanced out as well.
17:21
So, but again, it's,
17:24
it's all about the
17:24
definition of what your
17:25
season is and then that
17:27
season should be exclusive
17:28
to those participating in
17:30
the full season.
17:37
this is what you get when
17:38
you charge comps money to
17:40
find two to four athletes
17:41
and say at the end,
17:42
send us who qualified.
17:44
I get it.
17:46
Um,
17:47
there was not a lot of direction given.
17:49
There wasn't a lot in,
17:50
there was not a lot of
17:50
definition to the season
17:52
and we expanded what events
17:53
were part of the season
17:55
while the season was kind of happening.
17:57
Nor Cal didn't get advanced
17:59
until right before the open maybe.
18:02
Um,
18:03
So, yeah, I mean,
18:04
we were still playing
18:05
around with how you were
18:06
going to advance as we're
18:08
approaching the season.
18:11
None of this was ideal.
18:13
And it seems like it happens
18:15
every year this way.
18:17
We are waiting till the last
18:18
minute to figure out what
18:20
the season is going to look like.
18:23
And so on and so on.
18:25
And especially if we sell, or we sell,
18:28
if they sell before the
18:30
next season begins,
18:32
it could be something
18:32
completely different next year.
18:36
So who knows?
18:40
I did,
18:41
after the spin announced that Gazan
18:43
and Rolf were not competing,
18:46
I went into my Heat One app
18:47
and I made changes to the women's field.
18:52
so my picks now are um ariel
18:56
lowen one raptus two
18:59
danielle brandon three

19:09
haley adams tenth and
19:11
hattie canyo eleventh
19:16
outside looking in grace
19:17
walton brooke wells madeleine sturt
19:22
Claudia Gluck and then I
19:26
actually went through the
19:26
leaderboard on who signed
19:28
up and I just wanted to put
19:29
out there a couple
19:30
reminders of people that
19:32
could have a shot of people
19:34
that I've interviewed in
19:35
the past as a semifinal
19:36
athlete that for some
19:38
reason haven't moved
19:41
forward or someone maybe we
19:42
forgot about that might
19:44
have a shot and so on that
19:46
list and I know Sarah Cooper has that
19:50
Um, Sarah has Rebecca Fusile.
19:53
I have her as a person to remember.
19:56
Um,
19:57
if she can get through heavy Isabel
19:59
without too much damage,
20:00
I think she has an
20:01
excellent shot at making it.
20:04
Um,
20:04
another person that I have is Elena Buds.
20:07
Elena Buds was a really good
20:10
semifinal athlete who had a
20:12
knee injury and then
20:14
another injury last year.
20:16
So she's coming back after
20:17
two straight years of not
20:18
being able to compete at
20:19
semis and just someone to
20:21
keep an eye on that may make some noise.
20:24
And finally, Sydney McElishan,
20:27
who is a two-time games
20:28
athlete that some of us may
20:30
have forgot about.
20:32
She has a new coach now.
20:35
She's not with Proven
20:36
anymore and could make some
20:39
noise in this field.
20:44
And then finally, Marissa Flowers.
20:47
Marissa Flowers is the
20:48
four-foot-ten mighty mouse
20:51
that always makes an impact
20:53
in some event.
20:56
There's always something
20:57
that she crushes during semifinals,
21:00
and she's just going to
21:00
wreak some havoc on the leaderboard.
21:07
Sarah asks us, how are you competing?
21:09
She posted about an injury
21:10
and needing an MRI.
21:13
I thought she was complete.
21:14
She has signed up.
21:16
She is on the leaderboard as
21:17
having paid the money and signed up.
21:21
So I was taking it that
21:23
she's going to give it a go.
21:29
And now Andrew says she
21:30
isn't doing the in affiliate semis.
21:33
Well, let's look on her Instagram.
21:36
If you said she posted that.
21:49
Oh, and Spin posted an article about it.
21:52
I did not see that yet.
22:03
Let me go to the Spin.
22:13
Oh, there it is.
22:15
Breaking news from the Spin.
22:25
Hattie Cano needs MRI for shoulder injury.
22:27
Will miss in affiliate semifinals.
22:31
So there it is.
22:34
Thank you guys for pointing
22:37
that out to me.
22:40
She's been fighting out,
22:42
fighting through the injury.
22:50
Hoping to compete at NorCal
22:51
Classic once everything gets cleared up.
22:56
um but yeah that is out on
22:57
the barbell spin if you
22:58
want to go check it out her
23:01
gofundme hit over her gold
23:03
that's awesome so there it
23:08
is and you guys are good uh
23:18
lana says don't forget
23:20
about erica fullo I didn't
23:21
forget about her
23:23
I just am not sure she's ready yet.
23:27
Um,
23:27
a lot of change this season and that's
23:29
why I didn't pick her or so we'll see.
23:36
Uh,
23:36
Meredith says that's a bummer for Hattie.
23:38
It is such a bummer.
23:41
Um, we've become such good friends.
23:43
I'm really bummed out.
23:45
I'll have to reach out to her after this.
23:47
Um,
23:51
guys don't know she used to
23:52
do a show on on this
23:53
channel uh live from um
23:58
yeah over there oh shoot
24:00
where she lives like half
24:01
of the year and I'm just
24:04
totally brain dead with
24:05
everything going on oh yeah
24:10
anyway we did uh wednesday
24:12
shows live from um
24:15
somewhere over in asia europe something
24:20
anyway it was fun she's
24:23
awesome um one of my
24:25
favorite people to
24:26
interview I'm always full
24:28
of energy and so uh yeah
24:31
we'll have to reach out to
24:32
her after this Bali Bali
24:36
that's it thank you sir
24:37
live from Bali yeah she
24:40
even took us on motorcycle
24:41
rides through the streets um so super fun
24:47
Yeah.
24:48
All right.
24:51
What else did I have on the docket today?
24:53
Oh, the men.
24:55
My men picks.
24:57
And I'm going to miss the
24:59
Hattie Kenyo pick I made.
25:04
And I think it's too late to, I don't know,
25:07
see if I can make the change.
25:09
On the men's side, I have Adler one,
25:11
Dallin Pepper two, Hopper three,
25:13
Gerrard four, Crouch five, Madera six,
25:17
Bailey Martin seven, Sam Kwan eighth,
25:20
BKG nine, ten is James Sprague,
25:23
eleven Jack Rosema.
25:27
On the outside looking in, Yonikoski,
25:29
Nick Matthew, Enola Kai, Travis Mayer,
25:38
So that's,
25:39
those are my picks on the men's
25:40
side and a couple of people
25:42
to watch out for.
25:44
One, I would have told you Caden Hogan,
25:46
but he announced on his
25:48
Instagram earlier this week
25:49
that he injured his knee
25:52
and will not be able to participate.
25:54
He is a teen athlete.
26:00
So he was a teen athlete at the games.
26:04
Tristan Harrison is,
26:07
I think he's just a guy who
26:09
found himself late.
26:13
And I interviewed him last
26:14
year before West coast and
26:16
he started off like on fire.
26:18
And I think he,
26:19
that built a fire for him into this year.
26:22
And then the last one I have
26:24
is Sam corn YA.
26:25
I think that a lot of times
26:27
Sam would get into his head.
26:29
And I think because he's put
26:30
less emphasis on training this year,
26:32
that he actually will
26:33
perform better than he has in years past.
26:37
So those are a couple of
26:38
people to look out for.
26:40
And Andrew asked why Sprague
26:41
solo it's heavy, Isabel.
26:46
Same reason why I understand why, um,
26:51
Emily Rolfe is not doing the semifinal.
26:54
I can see that knocking
26:58
James down the leaderboard
27:00
some with the other people
27:02
I have as top candidates.
27:04
And then I think he'll do
27:05
great in other events,
27:07
but it's going to be too
27:08
little too late to make up
27:09
the ground from that one heavy Isabel.
27:14
That's really it.
27:16
And really, I think at this point,
27:17
he's just trying to qualify.
27:19
Once you punch the ticket,
27:20
then the games are a whole
27:21
different story.
27:26
So you're just trying to get
27:27
into the top eleven anyway, anyhow.
27:35
Because everything resets
27:40
when you get to the games anyway.
27:45
So that's why I have them low.
27:47
No, no big, no big secret.
27:55
Ricky and Jay have a good shot online,
27:56
I think.
27:57
Oh, of course.
27:58
And actually getting to work
28:00
out together in that,
28:01
what Proven is doing with their throwdown,
28:04
bringing everybody into the
28:06
Nashville location and
28:08
having them work out
28:09
together and treating it
28:11
like an in-person competition,
28:13
I think is brilliant.
28:15
I think it's going to help them as well.
28:17
And I don't think that
28:18
they're unique because
28:20
Hopper and Dallin are
28:21
working out together at Brute.
28:24
um to push each other there
28:27
so I think the camps are
28:29
doing a the best they can
28:31
to make it as in person as
28:33
possible yeah I think I
28:38
think I have ricky and jay
28:40
four or five on my list so
28:45
yeah I think both of them
28:46
will get in pretty easily
28:52
which will then make Torian
28:53
interesting because it
28:56
could open that up a little
28:57
bit down there for,
29:00
especially that I think
29:01
they get two spots.
29:02
So if Ricky and Jay get in
29:04
here and maybe Bailey gets in here,
29:07
then what happens at Torian?
29:10
Like you're going to get two
29:12
relative unknowns,
29:13
maybe down there for the, what,
29:16
what spots are left.
29:26
last thing I want to talk
29:26
about going into the
29:27
weekend is I've told you
29:29
guys how much I've really
29:31
fallen in love with full
29:32
swing the netflix
29:33
documentary series about
29:34
the pga tour and I um I
29:40
just finished season two uh
29:43
which the culmination was
29:45
the rider cup where the us
29:48
lost to europe um but it
29:51
was it was filmed epically um
29:55
And if people don't remember
29:56
the twenty three Ryder Cup,
29:58
there actually was a fight
29:59
in the parking lot that was
30:01
captured on video.
30:03
They're really doing a great job.
30:05
And this is what I've been
30:06
saying about what CrossFit
30:07
needs to do of showing not just the good,
30:11
but the bad.
30:13
And then when you show the bad,
30:14
you show people overcoming that.
30:16
And it means so much more.
30:22
And so.
30:24
Totally loving the show.
30:26
I know I got Denise watching it.
30:29
Can't wait to get into season three.
30:31
There's two more to go.
30:32
There's four seasons of Full Swing.
30:35
So I will definitely be
30:36
watching all of those.
30:37
But the drama and what...
30:42
There's a great story in
30:43
this season where a kid
30:46
featured on season one
30:49
became the tenth ranked
30:50
player in the world.
30:51
Then...
30:54
his brother qualifies for
30:56
the British open and,
30:58
and his brother is younger
30:59
than him and has never
31:02
played on the PGA tour.
31:03
So his first,
31:05
first event is the British
31:06
open and they go toe to toe
31:09
and the younger brother
31:10
ends up winning over the
31:13
older brother who is a
31:14
tenth plank ranked player in the world.
31:17
And the payday he got from
31:18
that was so massive and,
31:21
Um,
31:22
and it was so cool to see it's there's
31:24
just really great moments in full swing.
31:28
Um, and I highly, highly recommend it.
31:30
And then draw your dagger tells us, uh,
31:32
I need to get on drive to survive.
31:34
I got my wife hooked on F
31:36
one after she watched it.
31:38
And I help and says drive to
31:40
survive is greater than full swing.
31:42
I'll have to check it out.
31:43
I've heard good things about that as well.
31:45
I've never been an IndyCar
31:47
guy or F-One guy.
31:51
So we'll see.
31:53
I'll try to watch it after I
31:54
finish Full Swing.
31:56
But everybody that I talk to in the space,
31:59
when they talk about what
32:00
CrossFit needs to do from a
32:01
media perspective,
32:03
talks about those two shows
32:05
as examples of what to do.
32:06
So I dove into Full Swing
32:08
finally to try to get a
32:11
feel for what they were talking about.
32:13
And it becomes abundantly
32:15
clear as the documentary
32:17
kicks off what they do very, very well.
32:21
And they don't hide the warts.
32:22
And that's, I think, the biggest thing.
32:25
I think in the CrossFit space,
32:28
either CrossFit or the
32:29
athletes are trying to hide
32:30
some of the warts.
32:32
But when you let people in
32:33
on that part of the story,
32:35
it means more when they overcome that.
32:39
So...
32:43
Draw your dagger says drive
32:46
to survive is more like MTV
32:48
real world than watching a race.
32:49
And yes,
32:50
CrossFit would be wise to emulate
32:52
that style.
32:54
I don't disagree.
32:55
The people that are becoming
32:56
the most popular are people
32:58
that are talking trash to
33:00
each other that are.
33:03
doing stuff outside of the
33:05
scope of what CrossFit is
33:07
doing and they're helping themselves out.
33:11
It would be awesome if
33:12
someone could coordinate
33:13
something to help the whole
33:15
sport out as opposed to
33:17
just a few athletes.
33:24
But yeah.
33:28
And
33:31
my only fear with drives or
33:32
survive is I really,
33:33
I literally know nothing about F one.
33:36
I'm, I don't even know the,
33:38
the racers names where golf, like I would,
33:42
I would tune into a major
33:44
every so often and kind of watch.
33:46
And so I knew a lot of the
33:48
names from sports center
33:51
and from tuning into a few
33:52
tournaments a year.
33:54
Um, but I would,
33:56
I wouldn't call myself a golf fan.
33:58
And then I fell in love with it.
33:59
And then watching this
34:00
year's masters was a lot
34:01
more fun because I actually
34:04
knew even more athletes or more golfers,
34:07
um, and knew their backstory, um,
34:09
which made watching golf better for me.
34:13
And that's where I think
34:14
CrossFit is missing the mark.
34:16
When you know the people and
34:17
you know their stories,
34:19
you have a bigger rooting
34:20
interest to those athletes
34:23
when the opportunity then
34:24
arises to see them on the
34:26
floor doing what they're doing.
34:31
The show that does that so
34:32
well is American Ninja Warrior.
34:35
Nobody watches that to see
34:36
someone go through the obstacle course.
34:38
The obstacle course is just
34:41
a metaphor for what they've
34:43
overcome in real life when
34:44
they do the little
34:45
vignettes before they go.
34:47
There's so much going on in
34:48
their life that they've overcome.
34:50
And then they show them
34:52
literally overcoming
34:53
obstacles to get to the end
34:55
of the obstacle course.
34:58
And I think that that is...
35:01
a in a small way in a
35:03
vignette way does it where
35:05
full swing is a full
35:06
documentary and you get the
35:08
full story behind it um I
35:15
believe in at least f-one's
35:16
case in netflix has
35:18
exclusive rights to capture
35:19
behind the scenes at events
35:21
that would be interesting
35:22
if the games did that it
35:24
would be because right now
35:26
it's just kind of the wild
35:27
wild west at the games
35:30
You can apply for that,
35:31
and they've been handing it
35:33
out somewhat willingly in
35:36
the past few years.
35:44
Andrew Sten,
35:49
imagine if Netflix got the
35:51
games behind the scenes and
35:52
Sivan couldn't do anything.
35:53
See,
35:54
I think it needs to be more than just
35:56
behind the scenes at the games.
35:58
It needs to be a season.
36:00
You need to have people in
36:03
gyms during the offseason.
36:05
You need to be at Wadapalooza.
36:07
You need to be at Rogue.
36:09
You need to be during the
36:12
Open in a gym with some athletes.
36:15
You need to be at the semifinal events.
36:18
It has to be the full season.
36:21
I don't disagree with,
36:23
I don't think we do a bad
36:24
job with the stuff that goes out,
36:26
but it's all piecemealed in
36:28
different areas where in at
36:31
least full swing,
36:32
you're getting it all in one package.
36:35
You're getting it all.
36:38
then they take like one
36:40
episode and they focus on
36:41
rory mcelroy from beginning
36:44
to end and how his season
36:45
goes or they focus on just
36:49
jordan spieth in the way
36:51
his season goes and so they
36:54
cut it up where you get
36:55
like the full story of that
36:56
golfer for the full season
37:00
So it's just done in a
37:03
different format that makes
37:06
it one full package instead
37:08
of just a bunch of stuff
37:11
all over the place.
37:16
Again, simpler is better.
37:19
Simpler is better.
37:30
Uh, Halpin says, yeah,
37:32
they were being fairly
37:33
liberal last year with BTS access.
37:36
HQ gave litter bands,
37:37
glitter bands to a dude
37:39
that just post Google
37:40
sheets on their Instagram stories.
37:42
Wonder who that was.
37:45
Um, yeah,
37:49
I didn't apply for behind the
37:50
scenes at the games.
37:51
I think there's,
37:54
there's so many people back there.
37:55
What could I do different
37:56
than what's being done back there?
37:59
Um,
38:00
So I'm always looking for a
38:02
different angle.
38:02
What can I do here?
38:05
What can I do there that's
38:06
different than what other
38:07
people are doing?
38:11
And last year would have
38:12
been a terrible year to get
38:13
behind the scenes.
38:18
Kudos to the people that
38:21
gave it a shot because last
38:23
year would have been really,
38:24
really tough.
38:26
I had a tough time just being in the venue,
38:29
let alone all the other
38:31
stuff that went along with it.
38:34
So with that,
38:38
my lunch hour is just about over.
38:40
Time for me to go back to work.
38:42
Time for you knuckleheads to
38:44
go back to work.
38:46
Hope you all have an amazing weekend.
38:49
We will be back live on Sunday night.
38:52
talking about sunday night
38:53
crossfit talk with carolyn
38:56
and jamie and who knows
38:57
maybe um maybe carolyn is
39:04
one of the newest crossfit
39:06
games athletes we probably
39:08
won't know immediately but
39:10
who knows on sunday night I
39:13
know she is trying to qualify for both
39:16
the masters and the elite
39:18
CrossFit games in the same season.
39:20
That is one of her goals and
39:22
to compete in both.
39:24
So Sunday night, maybe we'll see.
39:27
And I know Jamie has been

trying to do the workouts this weekend.
39:32
So we'll get her feedback on that.
39:34
Plus everything else that's
39:36
happening in the space.
39:38
And we will see everybody next time.

We'll see everybody then.

Bye guys.
