  her to come on and I put a
• 1:02
  lot of holes in my wall
• 1:03
  because lefty it gets a
• 1:06
  little wild but actually I
• 1:07
  get closer to the bullseye
• 1:08
  when I'm like close so
• 1:11
  we're gonna go lefty for a
• 1:12
  while and we're gonna take
• 1:14
  the risk so here we go oh terrible
• 1:23
  hit the wall not the
• 1:24
  dartboard yeah lefty's a
• 1:26
  lot more exciting that's

  And I can't wait to hear my
• 1:49
  judges' take on Corey's
• 1:52
  issues from the week.
• 1:54
  Can't wait to hear what that is tomorrow.
• 1:57
  What's up, Shea, Denise, Matthew?
• 2:01
  What's going on?
• 2:03
  Denise says,
• 2:04
  close your eyes when you throw.
• 2:08
  If I go right-handed,
• 2:09
  I have to go over the mic
• 2:10
  and over the monitor.
• 2:12
  If I go left-handed,
• 2:13
  I kind of clear all the obstacles,
• 2:15
  but I don't have a lot of oomph on it.
• 2:22
  I'm semi-ambidextrous.
• 2:23
  I write left-handed.
• 2:25
  I eat left-handed,
• 2:27
  but I throw right-handed.
• 2:29
  So I'm all messed up.
• 2:31
  I don't really even know who I am anymore.
• 2:37
  Corey said it's all been sorted,
• 2:38
  but yesterday was a wild ride.
• 2:40
  Yeah.
• 2:40
  I want to,
• 2:41
  I want to pose the question to
• 2:43
  my judges in the audience
• 2:44
  with your story tomorrow.
• 2:46
  So we'll just preview that
• 2:48
  and just kind of see their
• 2:49
  take on the whole situation.
• 2:51
  Glad it's been sorted.
• 2:53
  Um, Aaron Frazier accuracy.
• 2:57
  One of the ten general skills.
• 3:01
  Yeah.
• 3:03
  Like I'm pretty accurate
• 3:04
  right-handed from like the
• 3:05
  line in a straight thing
• 3:06
  with nothing in my way.
• 3:09
  But hey,
• 3:10
  it'll build up my lefty shooting
• 3:11
  for a while.
• 3:14
  All right,
• 3:15
  I'm going to take one more shot
• 3:15
  left-handed.
• 3:16
  All right, here we go.
• 3:19
  Oh my gosh.
• 3:21
  This will tell you the tale of two.
• 3:24
  This is my lefty.
• 3:25
  You just never know.
• 3:28
  to get a picture of this all
• 3:30
  right so uh my first one is
• 3:37
  off the board down into the
• 3:39
  right to the right and my
• 3:41
  second one is almost a
• 3:43
  bullseye I don't know if
• 3:45
  you guys can see that so
• 3:54
  yeah I missed the bullseye by about
• 3:58
  A quarter of an inch.
• 4:05
  It's coming.
• 4:06
  It's coming.
• 4:09
  The lefty, you just never know.
• 4:10
  Going lefty,
• 4:11
  it could be into the wall or
• 4:14
  it could be into the bullseye.
• 4:15
  You just never know.
• 4:19
  Denise says, nice, Scott.
• 4:22
  Corey Leonard, I like the template,
• 4:24
  by the way.
• 4:24
  TEF should have it by next week.
• 4:27
  Yeah.
• 4:29
  I actually liked the template better than,
• 4:32
  um, what I had.
• 4:33
  So we're good.
• 4:36
  Uh,
• 4:36
  the steak in the bottom corner looks
• 4:37
  delicious.
• 4:39
  Yeah, that is, that is my homage to, um,
• 4:44
  to Ken, Ken Walters.
• 4:47
  Um,
• 4:47
  cause he always has a ribeye when we do
• 4:49
  the lunch with the Gladstone show.
• 4:51
  So, yeah,
• 4:52
  that's my little homage to him
• 4:54
  there in the corner.
• 4:57
  Um,
• 5:01
  My font is better today too.
• 5:03
  Yeah,
• 5:04
  I only do the wild ones like every
• 5:05
  third or fourth show.
• 5:09
  Really,
• 5:09
  really just do it to see who's kind
• 5:11
  of paying attention.
• 5:14
  So, yeah.
• 5:17
  But yeah, I actually,
• 5:18
  if I were going to go to
• 5:19
  with a permanent one,
• 5:20
  it would be more in this range.
• 5:27
  So, yeah.
• 5:30
  to kind of move off of the
• 5:31
  norcal stuff a little bit
• 5:33
  we're going to talk about a
• 5:34
  little bit but um but here
• 5:38
  we go um dave's we can
• 5:40
  review yesterday uh we'll
• 5:43
  start off with the norcal
• 5:44
  stuff there and then we'll
• 5:44
  kind of get away from that
• 5:45
  hopefully uh for the rest
• 5:47
  of the week um dave talked
• 5:50
  about the norcal
• 5:55
  He went to it.
• 5:56
  He talked about being there
• 5:57
  and how awesome the
• 5:59
  community was and how many
• 6:01
  people were there and how
• 6:03
  incredible that was.
• 6:06
  And he liked it from a community event,
• 6:08
  but from a qualifying event,
• 6:10
  he was not a fan.
• 6:13
  And he basically goes into
• 6:14
  saying that he talked to
• 6:15
  Blair and Ben and said that
• 6:18
  basically they're setting
• 6:19
  themselves up for failure
• 6:21
  by trying all the new things.
• 6:23
  instead of giving like a basic competition,
• 6:29
  for the most part with
• 6:30
  maybe a new thing or try
• 6:33
  something new here,
• 6:35
  too many new things was just too much.
• 6:39
  And they're setting
• 6:39
  themselves up for failure.
• 6:40
  And he says that he met with them.
• 6:42
  He told them that whether
• 6:44
  they take that to heart or not,
• 6:46
  I don't know.
• 6:47
  But I think that that's very
• 6:49
  telling that Dave went
• 6:51
  public with his comments
• 6:52
  about that qualifying event
• 6:53
  because he doesn't
• 6:54
  generally talk about
• 6:56
  qualifying events that he's not running.
• 6:59
  For him to step in and say those things,
• 7:02
  I think is a big deal.
• 7:06
  What that means in the long run,
• 7:07
  I don't know.
• 7:08
  But it does seem to be a
• 7:10
  thing that he felt compelled to say that.
• 7:20
  so I found that very very
• 7:21
  interesting and then if you
• 7:23
  watch the first wow if you
• 7:39
  watch the first ten minutes
• 7:40
  of boys interrupted uh
• 7:42
  dallin held nothing back on
• 7:43
  the competition as well
• 7:47
  um and basically said
• 7:49
  there's no way it should be
• 7:50
  a qualifying event there
• 7:52
  was there was something
• 7:52
  wrong with every single
• 7:53
  event and he held nothing
• 7:57
  back so they're getting it
• 8:01
  from all angles uh this
• 8:05
  week media dave athletes uh pretty crazy
• 8:18
  Sorry, guys.
• 8:19
  I thought I could get away
• 8:19
  with it without a cough drop today,
• 8:21
  and it is not happening.
• 8:28
  So, Train to Live,
• 8:31
  Boys Interrupted went in on NorCal.
• 8:33
  They really did.
• 8:38
  They went on a lot of the
• 8:39
  same stuff we've been
• 8:40
  talking about for a couple days.
• 8:42
  About not measuring the cones,
• 8:44
  cones not being straight,
• 8:46
  rings being different sizes,
• 8:48
  rings being placed further
• 8:51
  and closer apart from each other.
• 8:56
  Lots of stuff.
• 8:57
  The row not being consistent, the gator,
• 9:02
  you name it, they've talked about it all.
• 9:07
  So I think it's going to be
• 9:09
  a hard road to hoe for them
• 9:11
  to do this as a qualifying
• 9:14
  event next year.
• 9:17
  Or they're going to have to
• 9:18
  really tighten up the ship.
• 9:21
  Really tighten up the ship.
• 9:23
  So...
• 9:26
  The other thing Dave talked
• 9:27
  about yesterday was that
• 9:29
  they came to a decision or
• 9:31
  a non-decision on the K.L.
• 9:34
  Lehman situation that
• 9:36
  basically they didn't get
• 9:38
  the proof they were looking
• 9:39
  for that the scores were valid,
• 9:41
  but they didn't get enough
• 9:43
  evidence to prove that it wasn't.
• 9:46
  So therefore, they were making no decision,
• 9:51
  which I think is...
• 9:55
  a pretty big cop out.
• 10:00
  I think if you're a
• 10:01
  competition and you tell
• 10:04
  the participants they need
• 10:06
  to videotape their events
• 10:07
  in case CrossFit asks and
• 10:10
  they cannot supply those,
• 10:12
  then the decision has to go
• 10:15
  that it's not valid.
• 10:17
  because they are not
• 10:19
  adhering to those rules.
• 10:21
  Now,
• 10:21
  I don't know what they got or what got
• 10:23
  put together for them,
• 10:26
  what it was the lack of or the,
• 10:28
  I don't know.
• 10:34
  Trained to live,
• 10:35
  either he did the work and
• 10:36
  has video proof or he didn't,
• 10:38
  seems pretty obvious.
• 10:44
  Don't know how a top five
• 10:45
  finisher gets away with not having videos,
• 10:47
  says Andrew Sten.
• 10:51
  What part of he wasn't on
• 10:52
  the gym cameras doing
• 10:53
  workouts isn't proof.
• 10:55
  So, Lito,
• 10:56
  I don't know if CrossFit has that.
• 10:58
  That's something that
• 11:00
  Kipping at Real had or stated he had.
• 11:03
  Yeah.
• 11:06
  Again, that's the part that's confusing.
• 11:09
  You have a lot of stories out there.
• 11:12
  I don't know what evidence
• 11:13
  CrossFit got or didn't get
• 11:15
  in this situation because
• 11:16
  they didn't say.
• 11:22
  But fact of the matter is,
• 11:25
  his open finish stays as a
• 11:26
  top five finish.
• 11:27
  And that's it.
• 11:34
  And we'll see if he signs up
• 11:35
  for the last chance qualifier.
• 11:46
  Anyone in the top one hundred hell,
• 11:47
  everyone in the top one
• 11:48
  hundred should have a video.
• 11:53
  You would think.
• 11:58
  So then.
• 12:00
  I heard this yesterday when
• 12:03
  Dave was talking.
• 12:04
  I'm going to play it for you guys.
• 12:07
  And then I figured it out
• 12:10
  with a release that came
• 12:11
  out just a few minutes ago.
• 12:14
  But the way Dave talks about
• 12:16
  the last chance qualifier was very,
• 12:18
  very weird.
• 12:25
  Hi Dave,
• 12:26
  will the last chance qualifier use
• 12:27
  the same video review process as,
• 12:29
  or he might be a photographer,
• 12:31
  as in affiliate semifinals,
• 12:33
  all public videos,
• 12:34
  public review and voting by
• 12:35
  certified judges, et cetera.
• 12:37
  If yes,
• 12:38
  is there a date when that will be
• 12:39
  completed after the last
• 12:41
  chance qualifier?
• 12:43
  So the last chance qualifier
• 12:44
  will not have the same
• 12:45
  video process as the in
• 12:48
  affiliate semifinals.
• 12:50
  They're running it on their
• 12:51
  own and they're gonna have
• 12:52
  their own standards and
• 12:53
  they're gonna have their
• 12:53
  own way of running it.
• 12:55
  We've been giving them a
• 12:56
  little advice and guidance,
• 12:58
  but it is not adhering to
• 13:00
  our standards for execution
• 13:06
  So who the hell is they Who
• 13:11
  is they they are running it
• 13:13
  we are consulting them
• 13:14
  we're giving them advice who is they Well,
• 13:19
  it appears it appears
• 13:23
  from a release from the
• 13:24
  barbell spin just a few
• 13:25
  minutes ago that the they
• 13:29
  is crossfit mayhem the
• 13:34
  hustle app is going to be
• 13:36
  used for the scorecard um
• 13:42
  and they're calling it the
• 13:45
  mayhem golden ticket I
• 13:48
  think um it seems weird
• 13:53
  If you do sign up and you are not eligible,
• 13:55
  it will not allow you to sign up.
• 13:58
  Brian's been tried to do
• 14:00
  that and was told you are
• 14:03
  not eligible for the last
• 14:04
  chance qualifier.
• 14:07
  But it seems as though it
• 14:10
  seems as though I don't
• 14:11
  have confirmation on this,
• 14:13
  but it does seem that
• 14:15
  mayhem is running the last
• 14:16
  chance qualifier.
• 14:21
  And we asked that as a
• 14:23
  factor fiction a couple weeks ago,
• 14:26
  is Mayhem controlling CrossFit?
• 14:28
  They programmed almost every semifinal,
• 14:31
  and here we are with the
• 14:34
  last chance qualifier,
• 14:35
  and they're running it?
• 14:39
  Just seems to be.
• 14:44
  So I don't know.
• 14:47
  It just is mind-boggling that...
• 14:52
  their hands are that far into it again.
• 14:58
  And the fact that CrossFit
• 15:01
  is still hands off on as
• 15:03
  much as they can be hands
• 15:05
  off of this season, they are hands off.
• 15:08
  And that is crazy to me.
• 15:15
  plausible deniability on HQ's part.
• 15:17
  Yeah,
• 15:17
  because when they're asked about
• 15:19
  video review and all that stuff, hey,
• 15:21
  not us.
• 15:22
  Our hands are clean.
• 15:23
  I don't know.
• 15:28
  It's wild.
• 15:31
  Aaron Frazier, Nate has a chance then.
• 15:33
  He does.
• 15:34
  Maybe Luke will sign up now.
• 15:41
  I don't think Mayhem is
• 15:42
  going to buy CrossFit.
• 15:45
  but
• 15:49
  Just crazy.
• 15:51
  And I'm not saying they
• 15:52
  won't do a good job of it
• 15:54
  or that they're not trying
• 15:56
  to keep it as fair as possible,
• 15:58
  but they're just biases.
• 16:00
  There are people that are
• 16:01
  doing their programming.
• 16:04
  It's just natural.
• 16:06
  I do think they try to be
• 16:07
  ethical in what they do and
• 16:09
  they try to be on the up
• 16:10
  and up with everything that they do,
• 16:12
  but they're just natural
• 16:14
  biases that occur
• 16:16
  Because you know this person
• 16:18
  or you want this person to succeed.
• 16:23
  Lito,
• 16:24
  they have literally outsourced
• 16:25
  everything this year.
• 16:26
  This isn't a surprise, really.
• 16:29
  I agree with you to some extent,
• 16:31
  but I was shocked that they
• 16:33
  outsourced the last chance qualifier.
• 16:35
  I just never thought that
• 16:37
  was a possibility.
• 16:39
  But apparently...
• 16:42
  apparently it's it's it is a
• 16:45
  possibility so there it is
• 16:54
  why didn't mayhem do the
• 16:55
  review of kale that is a
• 16:56
  very excellent question
• 17:00
  that part wasn't outsourced
• 17:05
  jody says mayhem should
• 17:07
  stay away from buying
• 17:07
  crossfit I don't understand
• 17:09
  that statement
• 17:12
  Um, I think if mayhem bought CrossFit,
• 17:15
  we'd be in a better spot.
• 17:16
  I don't think they have the
• 17:17
  money to buy CrossFit
• 17:19
  unless they had investors behind them.
• 17:22
  Um, like the hustle up people,
• 17:26
  which has been rumored to
• 17:27
  be a part of the package of
• 17:30
  someone who wants to buy CrossFit.
• 17:33
  But I, you know,
• 17:34
  I haven't heard much more than that.
• 17:37
  So.
• 17:40
  I think CrossFit's still a
• 17:41
  good buy if you know what
• 17:43
  you're doing and you're in
• 17:47
  it for the long haul and
• 17:49
  not a short-term flip.
• 17:55
  But that's just me.
• 17:59
  So...
• 18:03
  So yeah,
• 18:04
  so that's what I have on the
• 18:05
  Dave's Weekend Review.
• 18:07
  But when I heard that they,
• 18:08
  I was really conflicted and
• 18:10
  confused and confounded.
• 18:12
  And then to just, like I said,
• 18:14
  minutes before we went on the air,
• 18:16
  the spin released that
• 18:18
  they're not using the
• 18:19
  CrossFit leaderboard,
• 18:20
  they're using Hustle Up,
• 18:22
  and they're calling it the
• 18:24
  Mayhem Golden Ticket, apparently.
• 18:28
  So very, very, very interesting.
• 18:29
  Interesting.
• 18:33
  one other thing I wanted to
• 18:34
  get to today is, um, Liz,
• 18:38
  this weekend we had another
• 18:39
  road to the games and with
• 18:43
  Dallin and Jason.
• 18:45
  And what I will say is it is,
• 18:46
  it is much better than the
• 18:49
  fee and Abby one,
• 18:53
  because I believe that the
• 18:54
  personalities of Jason and
• 18:57
  Dallin carry it.
• 18:59
  Um,
• 19:02
  and it was very humorous and it was it.
• 19:05
  And the wives really lent
• 19:07
  themselves to be the stars of this, uh,
• 19:10
  documentary.
• 19:13
  I also had,
• 19:15
  we had the NorCal classic going
• 19:17
  on with Hiller releasing
• 19:18
  behind the scenes all weekend long.
• 19:23
  I absolutely loved the
• 19:27
  Hiller behind the scenes videos.
• 19:30
  Um,
• 19:32
  he's just in a total groove
• 19:33
  with storytelling right now.
• 19:36
  And even the short,
• 19:37
  quick bursts that he does
• 19:39
  in behind the scenes, what I,
• 19:41
  what I love about his
• 19:42
  version of it and what made
• 19:45
  Savan so good is none of
• 19:48
  the behind the scenes was about them.
• 19:51
  it's not about Hiller story
• 19:53
  or anything like that.
• 19:54
  It's about the people he's talking to,
• 19:56
  and it's about them telling their story.
• 19:59
  And I think that that is
• 20:00
  where Hiller has figured it out.
• 20:04
  Um, his last couple visits with the people,
• 20:09
  like the twenty four hours
• 20:10
  or forty eight hours with,
• 20:11
  which I think he's calling
• 20:12
  road to the games now, which is hilarious,
• 20:15
  um, are awesome.
• 20:19
  and when these behind the
• 20:21
  scenes I actually was like
• 20:24
  refreshing youtube every
• 20:25
  morning so that I could
• 20:27
  watch them before that
• 20:28
  day's event I was that
• 20:31
  excited to see the next
• 20:32
  iteration they did so good
• 20:35
  with that so um if you have
• 20:39
  not watched the behind the scenes of uh
• 20:45
  NorCal, totally worth watching.
• 20:48
  I would give it... I would
• 20:49
  put it up in that A-plus
• 20:51
  range of the stuff from the year.
• 20:54
  This last road to the games
• 20:56
  with Dallin and Jason,
• 20:58
  I would give it an A. It's
• 21:00
  probably their best outing
• 21:03
  of the year for road to the games.
• 21:05
  So some good content there.
• 21:07
  Again,
• 21:07
  kind of hidden in what happened at
• 21:11
  NorCal.
• 21:12
  So...
• 21:16
  CrossFit not really hitting
• 21:17
  the home runs on the release times.
• 21:20
  I mean, there's nothing going on today,
• 21:22
  tomorrow.
• 21:23
  They would have been perfect
• 21:24
  times to release this kind of stuff.
• 21:30
  Aaron says,
• 21:31
  you mean it's not like the Buttery Bros?
• 21:32
  It is not.
• 21:34
  Yeah, it's not about Hiller and...
• 21:37
  know last year he included
• 21:39
  some of the spiegel stuff
• 21:40
  with him and spiegel that
• 21:42
  was more like toward what
• 21:44
  his channel was about this
• 21:46
  year is more just about the
• 21:48
  people that were there
• 21:49
  participating in the event
• 21:51
  having a good time at the
• 21:52
  event the community that's
• 21:54
  going on this year was I
• 21:56
  thought a plus material uh
• 22:04
  nothing going on tomorrow
• 22:05
  I'm kind of offended scott
• 22:07
  Well, of course, Corey,
• 22:08
  you're going to be on the show.
• 22:09
  That's why we pick Wednesdays,
• 22:11
  because there's not a lot
• 22:12
  going on in the CrossFit space overall.
• 22:16
  So you and I can just sit
• 22:17
  and chat about whatever comes up,
• 22:19
  and we're good to go.
• 22:25
  Shay says his content was
• 22:28
  the only content I watched from NorCal.
• 22:32
  So good.
• 22:34
  I actually enjoyed the broadcast.
• 22:37
  This weekend,
• 22:38
  I thought that they took to
• 22:41
  heart a couple of the tips
• 22:43
  that that I tips.
• 22:46
  I guess we were critical of
• 22:47
  them last Sunday night.
• 22:50
  They did more wide shots of the floor.
• 22:54
  And when I say wide shots,
• 22:56
  I do not mean ten wide.
• 22:58
  A lot of people think I mean
• 22:59
  ten wide where you can't
• 23:01
  really tell who the people are.
• 23:02
  I do not.
• 23:03
  I just want them back a
• 23:04
  couple steps so I can see
• 23:06
  two or three lanes at a time.
• 23:09
  You can focus on the person
• 23:10
  in the middle if you want,
• 23:12
  but at least let me see the
• 23:14
  people beside them to see
• 23:15
  are they close or not.
• 23:17
  It just adds more to the storytelling.
• 23:19
  And I can still see the
• 23:20
  person in the middle really
• 23:22
  well to watch that close-up if I want to.
• 23:26
  And I thought they did
• 23:27
  really well with all of that.
• 23:30
  I think the only misses of
• 23:32
  the weekend were wrong names of people.
• 23:37
  But I also know that people
• 23:39
  were switching lanes without notice.
• 23:41
  And if you...
• 23:43
  if you did not get the
• 23:46
  updated lane assignments
• 23:47
  with the right people in it
• 23:49
  and it's a twenty five lane
• 23:50
  field they were they were
• 23:55
  at a a very big
• 23:56
  disadvantage trying to do
• 23:58
  all of that with not the
• 24:00
  most updated information
• 24:06
  but I actually enjoyed the
• 24:07
  broadcast I actually
• 24:10
  I thought the video, the footage was good.
• 24:14
  They had to,
• 24:15
  because they could not live
• 24:17
  stream it and they had to
• 24:17
  take it back and upload it,
• 24:19
  there was a delay to it,
• 24:21
  but that is what they had to do.
• 24:24
  They talked about what it
• 24:25
  would have cost to do that.
• 24:28
  They actually invested like
• 24:30
  thousands and thousands of
• 24:31
  dollars to try to get it to
• 24:32
  work as a live stream and
• 24:34
  nothing they tried worked.
• 24:37
  they tried they even bought
• 24:39
  like a starlink that had at
• 24:41
  t and t five g and verizon
• 24:44
  five g all in the same
• 24:46
  component to use all three
• 24:48
  bandwidths to get stuff in
• 24:50
  and they could not get that
• 24:52
  to work so I think what
• 24:54
  they did was the best we
• 24:55
  could get for where they were
• 24:57
  and I applaud them for the
• 25:00
  coverage this weekend
• 25:01
  because I got to watch it
• 25:02
  and I got to see a lot and
• 25:04
  there was a lot to talk
• 25:05
  about from it so we got a
• 25:07
  lot of content from it so
• 25:09
  that was pretty pretty
• 25:10
  awesome imagine the behind
• 25:14
  the scenes of that that
• 25:16
  would have been crazy them
• 25:17
  trying to figure it all out
• 25:22
  aaron frazier says cj with
• 25:24
  wad prep had great recaps each day too
• 25:27
  Okay, cool.
• 25:28
  I did not see those.
• 25:29
  I'll have to go check those out.
• 25:31
  They showed up in my queue,
• 25:33
  just didn't have a lot of
• 25:35
  time to get that in.
• 25:39
  A train to live,
• 25:39
  besides the fact that it
• 25:40
  wasn't live streamed,
• 25:41
  I think it was pretty good.
• 25:42
  I agree.
• 25:44
  I thought it was better than
• 25:45
  the week before,
• 25:46
  and that's all you can ask
• 25:47
  is them getting better.
• 25:50
  And if they can do it more
• 25:51
  economically and we can see
• 25:52
  more of the events, then I'm all for it.
• 25:58
  Shay had a question for me.
• 26:03
  So for the last chance
• 26:04
  qualifier is mayhem doing
• 26:06
  the programming or how does that work?
• 26:09
  So they announced this a
• 26:11
  while ago that they were
• 26:12
  going to get five coaches
• 26:15
  from around the world to
• 26:16
  each come up with a workout
• 26:18
  and then they would put
• 26:19
  those workouts together and
• 26:21
  that becomes the last chance qualifier.
• 26:25
  They announced who those
• 26:26
  coaches were today.
• 26:31
  Let me see if I can find that.
• 26:36
  One of them is rich surprise, surprise.
• 26:41
  Um, but it's not all rich.
• 26:54
  Um, so here we go.
• 26:59
  I will share my screen.
• 27:01
  This is from the barbell spin.
• 27:03
  It just went out.
• 27:05
  It's on Instagram somewhere,
• 27:06
  but I didn't want to like
• 27:07
  search for every little piece.
• 27:10
  Uh, there'll be five workouts for the LCQ.
• 27:14
  Um,
• 27:17
  have been programmed by five
• 27:19
  different individuals from
• 27:20
  around the world.
• 27:21
  Rich Froning from North America,
• 27:23
  Mikel Izquierdo from Europe,
• 27:27
  Liam Mulligan from Oceania,
• 27:30
  Alberto Nadeau from South America,
• 27:33
  and Max Ma from Asia.
• 27:36
  Each person listed above has
• 27:38
  programmed one workout that
• 27:39
  will be completed during the LCQ.
• 27:49
  Um, so, and then just, if you want to know,
• 27:52
  um,
• 27:54
  there's only been a handful of people
• 27:55
  that have signed up, but, uh, Thursday,
• 27:57
  the workouts will be revealed.
• 27:59
  Saturday registration closes.
• 28:03
  Um,
• 28:04
  Saturday submission deadline for the
• 28:05
  first three workouts is at
• 28:07
  eleven fifty nine Pacific time.
• 28:12
  And then Sunday at eleven
• 28:13
  fifty nine Pacific time
• 28:15
  submission deadline for the
• 28:16
  last two workouts.
• 28:19
  June seventeenth to the twentieth,
• 28:21
  the leaderboard will be finalized.
• 28:28
  So that is your last chance qualifier.
• 28:31
  I do know Carolyn is trying to do it,
• 28:33
  but I will tell you,
• 28:34
  because they're not
• 28:35
  releasing the workouts till Thursday,
• 28:37
  she is in a very,
• 28:38
  very precarious situation
• 28:40
  because you still have to
• 28:42
  have the two judges.
• 28:47
  And trying to find judges
• 28:49
  and places to do a fifteen
• 28:52
  foot rope climb.
• 28:52
  She'd have to go to another gym.
• 28:54
  She has to make all these arrangements.
• 28:56
  And with the workouts not
• 28:57
  being released until Thursday,
• 28:59
  that makes it very difficult on her.
• 29:11
  So I hope that answers your question,
• 29:14
  Shay.
• 29:14
  I may have went a little
• 29:15
  further than you asked,
• 29:16
  but that's what's going on.
• 29:18
  Then Kevin Doyle says,
• 29:19
  who's going to title
• 29:20
  sponsor this year's games?
• 29:22
  I haven't seen GORUCK
• 29:23
  attached to anything lately.
• 29:26
  More than that,
• 29:27
  I've seen GORUCK unattached
• 29:28
  from things like they're no
• 29:31
  longer sponsoring Tia Claire Toomey.
• 29:33
  They're no longer sponsoring Emily Rolfe.
• 29:35
  And I'm just taking that
• 29:37
  from because Emily is not
• 29:39
  wearing their stuff anymore.
• 29:43
  So I'm assuming they're out
• 29:46
  of that business of
• 29:47
  sponsoring athletes even.
• 29:48
  So I doubt they will be a
• 29:50
  title sponsor of the games.
• 29:55
  Yeah.
• 29:59
  I saw she wore grit yeah I I
• 30:03
  saw that as well again I
• 30:05
  don't know if she even has
• 30:07
  a sponsor at this point or
• 30:09
  if so just could be that
• 30:12
  but who knows uh go rock
• 30:18
  apparently is a sponsor for
• 30:19
  the monster games just
• 30:20
  released another workout
• 30:25
  Yeah,
• 30:25
  I don't know how the company's...
• 30:26
  Maybe they're just diving
• 30:27
  into these go-ruck races
• 30:29
  and things like that and
• 30:30
  sponsoring them and those
• 30:31
  athletes and kind of
• 30:33
  getting out of the CrossFit space.
• 30:36
  I think with the pending sale,
• 30:38
  it would be really hard to
• 30:39
  be a sponsor of the
• 30:42
  CrossFit Games this year.
• 30:48
  So... I don't know.
• 30:52
  Like, gosh...
• 30:55
  I think there's just a lot
• 30:56
  out there pending,
• 30:56
  which makes it really hard
• 30:58
  to finalize deals like that
• 31:02
  or to commit to CrossFit
• 31:04
  when you don't know who the
• 31:06
  leadership's going to be.
• 31:08
  Do you want to put your name
• 31:09
  on the CrossFit Games when
• 31:10
  you don't know if the
• 31:11
  leadership is or isn't
• 31:13
  going to be somebody?
• 31:18
  I don't know.
• 31:21
  Kevin says, first, no bull, now go ruck,
• 31:23
  not looking good for sponsors.
• 31:28
  I don't disagree,
• 31:31
  but I think last year was an anomaly.
• 31:39
  But I don't know.
• 31:42
  I don't know.
• 31:43
  I know last year was not a
• 31:44
  great experience for some
• 31:45
  of the sponsors because of
• 31:47
  the Lazar Jukic death.
• 31:50
  I know that sponsors didn't
• 31:52
  get the... I mean,
• 31:54
  Vendor Village was closed on Friday.
• 31:57
  Um...
• 31:58
  So they lost a full day there.
• 32:01
  I don't think people got the
• 32:03
  return they expected.
• 32:05
  So I think the overall
• 32:06
  sponsors and vendor village
• 32:07
  are going to be hard
• 32:09
  pressed to match that this
• 32:10
  year or like they did in past years.
• 32:16
  But I don't know.
• 32:22
  Again,
• 32:23
  I think everything depends on the sale.
• 32:25
  And I think it all depends
• 32:26
  on who takes over and
• 32:27
  whether you can attract new
• 32:29
  sponsors to it, bring back old sponsors,
• 32:32
  things of that nature.
• 32:34
  But with everything pending,
• 32:36
  it's going to be very, very, very hard.
• 32:43
  Off topic, Train to Live says,
• 32:46
  will you be getting Hattie on again soon?
• 32:49
  I've started reaching out to
• 32:50
  some more athletes.
• 32:52
  When I interviewed Reese last week,
• 32:53
  I realized that I have not
• 32:54
  been doing these frequently enough,
• 32:56
  and I don't have my total
• 32:58
  groove on for interviewing.
• 33:01
  So I need to get some reps in,
• 33:04
  get back to doing that.
• 33:06
  So yeah, I'll...
• 33:08
  I can reach out to Hattie.
• 33:10
  Of course, she's just one of my favorites.
• 33:12
  She's a friend.
• 33:13
  We can get her back on.
• 33:16
  But I also want to start
• 33:17
  reaching out to some
• 33:17
  Masters athletes that are
• 33:18
  going to the games here in Columbus.
• 33:20
  So I want to do some of that.
• 33:23
  Sprinkle some of that in as well.
• 33:26
  And I know Train to Live,
• 33:27
  you have actually sent me
• 33:28
  the name of a teen athlete.
• 33:30
  I'm trying to decide how I
• 33:32
  want to handle those.
• 33:37
  But we'll figure it out.
• 33:39
  I just got to get back to
• 33:40
  doing some interviews just
• 33:42
  so I can get back into the
• 33:43
  groove of things again and
• 33:46
  get ready to do a behind
• 33:48
  the scenes of the Masters CrossFit Games.
• 33:51
  And I want to get to the
• 33:52
  games this year and be able
• 33:55
  to do some interviews
• 33:57
  around and about the games
• 34:01
  with athletes this year as well, too.
• 34:03
  So...
• 34:10
  Denise,
• 34:11
  I still don't think the Masters
• 34:13
  games have a sponsor yet.
• 34:15
  Yeah, I don't know either.
• 34:22
  Looking forward to Columbus.
• 34:24
  Me too, Denise.
• 34:26
  Yeah, I don't know if you saw,
• 34:28
  they released,
• 34:29
  they do have a featured
• 34:31
  hotel for the Masters CrossFit Games,
• 34:34
  which is the downtown
• 34:35
  Hilton here in Columbus,
• 34:36
  which is gorgeous.
• 34:39
  It's actually attached to the event for
• 34:43
  of facility um and if you go
• 34:47
  out the back side of it
• 34:48
  there's a lot there's a
• 34:49
  there's the arena district
• 34:51
  and the north market which
• 34:52
  has a lot of food and uh
• 34:55
  food options things like
• 34:57
  that um which is so easy to
• 35:00
  get to and if you go out
• 35:02
  the front and just up a
• 35:04
  block you're into the short
• 35:05
  north which is another uh
• 35:08
  big chunk of stuff to go uh
• 35:10
  eat and hang out with so
• 35:15
  Shannon ended up winning at NorCal,
• 35:17
  so congratulations to you, Shannon,
• 35:19
  on that.
• 35:20
  Denise wishes you congratulations,
• 35:22
  and we do as well.
• 35:24
  Good job.
• 35:28
  So, yeah, super excited for Columbus.
• 35:32
  Andrew Sten,
• 35:33
  sponsors will be announced in
• 35:34
  the future for the Masters games.
• 35:41
  And he would know.
• 35:49
  So with that, guys,
• 35:52
  we don't have really much else.
• 35:58
  Tomorrow we have Corey on here,
• 36:00
  and we're going to have
• 36:01
  story time with Corey and
• 36:03
  reading your workout notes
• 36:09
  before you do the workout
• 36:13
  and making sure that you
• 36:14
  follow all the rules.
• 36:19
  what happens when you don't
• 36:21
  and you are in video
• 36:22
  dispute of those rules and
• 36:25
  how it all comes to a climactic end.
• 36:31
  And I can't wait to get
• 36:33
  Andrew and Jay Burch's
• 36:36
  feedback on what Corey did
• 36:38
  and how he should have been treated.
• 36:43
  All these people in here
• 36:44
  bragging about retiring.
• 36:50
  Shannon, I retire in May.
• 36:53
  Um, I retire in January.
• 37:02
  Every time I get my
• 37:03
  retirement statement now,
• 37:05
  it does tell me how much I
• 37:06
  would earn per month if I retired today.
• 37:10
  And, um,
• 37:19
  I retire in March of twenty forty five.
• 37:22
  I'm not that far out.
• 37:24
  I'm not that far.
• 37:25
  I'm only like I think eight years away.
• 37:29
  So what would that twenty
• 37:30
  thirty three if I want full retirement?
• 37:38
  Shannon,
• 37:38
  I am almost as old as you guys are.
• 37:44
  Jay Birch, I already bragged.
• 37:51
  Kevin, I love a climactic end.
• 37:53
  Well, when you're friends with Corey,
• 37:55
  you get a lot of climactic ends.
• 38:02
  I swear, like,
• 38:04
  they need to print the
• 38:04
  scorecards in Cajun so that
• 38:08
  he and Bill Leahy can learn
• 38:10
  how to read them better
• 38:12
  before they submit their videos.
• 38:18
  But Bill Leahy's going to the games, guys.
• 38:21
  Two years ago,
• 38:22
  he couldn't get a workout
• 38:23
  right to save his life,
• 38:25
  and now he's going to the CrossFit Games.
• 38:28
  Pretty impressive.
• 38:30
  So maybe this year,
• 38:32
  Corey can't get a workout right,
• 38:34
  and in two years,
• 38:35
  he'll be going to the CrossFit Games.
• 38:38
  Just maybe.
• 38:40
  I think that's the goal.
• 38:44
  With that, it's been fun, guys.
• 38:47
  But time to get back to work.
• 38:49
  So you knuckleheads,
• 38:50
  you get back to work too.
• 38:51
  We'll see everybody next
• 38:53
  time on Lunch with the Clydesdale.
• 38:56
  Bye, guys.
