0:26
What is going on, everybody?
0:27
Welcome.
0:28
Glad to tell me your roundtable.
0:30
It's lunch with Amy and Scott.
0:32
What's going on?
0:34
Hello.
0:35
Have you seen outside today?
0:37
It is cold.
0:39
Not really.
0:41
It is colder than it's been.
0:43
Okay.
0:45
But I'm just saying the leaves peak.
0:49
Beautiful.
0:51
Yeah.
0:53
We have a burning bush in our backyard.
0:54
Yeah.
0:55
Yeah.
0:57
Is it on fire?
0:57
Do you need to go fix it?
1:00
I don't know if you can see.
1:02
I took a picture.
1:04
It is bright, vibrant red.
1:06
Yeah.
1:08
We have a sugar maple out front.
1:10
And when the windows are
1:12
open and the sun is shining,
1:14
you can completely... My
1:17
whole front room kind of
1:18
looks pinkish just from the
1:20
bright orange and red.
1:24
funny you should ask across that.
1:26
Here you go.
1:29
Yeah, we just put a black square up there.
1:32
What in the world is happening?
1:34
I don't know,
1:35
but we hear the people's cheer,
1:37
but we don't see the people's cheer.
1:39
And it's our world.
1:40
I have a round dining room table.
1:43
It's just my wife and I now.
1:46
Hey, Corey, hold your horses.
1:48
Oh.
1:53
So we have like a white smudge mark.
1:57
Yeah.
1:58
Like, I think your camera is closed.
2:02
You need to turn it to the side.
2:07
We're working on it.
2:08
Okay.
2:09
Don't mind me.
2:10
Okay.
2:12
But I am going to mind.
2:14
So, Scott,
2:16
is everybody at your house healthy?
2:18
Yep.
2:19
Nice.
2:20
Nice.
2:21
Yep, everything's going well.
2:23
Yeah, we're healthy over here.
2:26
There's a lot of crud that I
2:28
need to know about.
2:29
Well,
2:29
there's a lot of crud going around
2:30
school.
2:33
But you don't spend a lot of
2:34
time at school, so you should be fine.
2:38
But just that time of year,
2:39
that's why I was kind of asking.
2:41
Yep.
2:42
I think that's kind of cool
2:43
working from home is I
2:45
don't have to worry about
2:48
like other people bringing crud to me.
2:50
yes but you could also look
2:53
at it as I'm not building
2:56
up the tolerance either
2:58
yeah yeah yeah well right
3:03
now I'm going through this
3:05
immunotherapy with for my
3:07
allergies yeah every
3:08
wednesday I get three shots
3:10
so I'm like I think eight
3:12
weeks in they said I won't
3:15
feel a difference until twelve
3:18
Twelve shots or twelve weeks,
3:20
twelve weeks.
3:21
OK.
3:23
And then it should slowly get better.
3:26
Yeah.
3:28
Oh, there we go, Charlie.
3:30
CrossFit says we're
3:31
pneumonia type business going around.
3:33
That is that is going around.
3:35
I'm noticing that.
3:36
I don't know about adults
3:37
because I mostly pay
3:39
attention to children.
3:40
But there is like with the I
3:43
would say early like
3:44
elementary school age for sure.
3:45
That's that's going around kind of thing.
3:53
Um, my right, my wife, my wife,
3:55
my life revolves around now
3:58
that Walter's poop schedule.
4:01
Oh,
4:03
if I get a good Walter poop in the
4:05
morning, he's cool.
4:06
The rest of the day.
4:07
Got it.
4:08
If he doesn't poop in the morning,
4:10
I've got a very nice problem.
4:12
Age acting dog the rest of the day.
4:17
But doesn't everybody have a
4:18
better day if they start off that way?
4:22
Yeah, I guess so.
4:24
Yeah.
4:24
I guess I feel better with the poop too.
4:27
Yeah.
4:28
Hey, Charlie, do you work out today?
4:30
No,
4:31
I got an allergy tested today and I got
4:33
an A plus.
4:34
Oh, that's right.
4:36
A plus.
4:37
Which means you're allergic to everything.
4:38
One hundred allergens.
4:42
Flow.
4:44
So you got the same thing I did.
4:45
Yeah.
4:47
The only alternative is
4:48
living on the moon.
4:49
Yep.
4:49
Basically.
4:50
Basically.
4:52
Don't look outside.
4:53
Don't look inside.
4:56
If you guys played outside
4:57
more and ate dirt,
4:58
if you would be less allergic to things.
5:01
Listen, I was outside so much as a kid.
5:04
I ate so much dirt.
5:05
I don't even wash my hands.
5:08
I mean, if you still did that,
5:10
maybe if you did it as an adult.
5:12
Still do.
5:14
Man, it's miserable.
5:15
You're miserable.
5:16
All right.
5:20
I did not work out today,
5:21
but that's because, number one,
5:25
the day's not over.
5:27
Number two,
5:29
Shmoopy is coaching a class tonight,
5:31
and I'm going to go to that class.
5:34
But he's been coaching.
5:36
Well, yes,
5:39
but Thursdays are my day off of school,
5:42
and so I don't have to get up early.
5:44
I don't have to rush to get there.
5:47
This explains the high bun.
5:49
Yeah.
5:50
Shmoopy's dad, which is my husband,
5:54
has never been to a class
5:55
coached by Shmoopy.
5:56
And so it's a partner workout.
5:57
We're going to go together, be partners.
5:59
Has that been tested?
6:02
Our DNA?
6:02
Yeah.
6:04
Yeah.
6:04
I mean, even if we didn't do DNA testing,
6:09
I think that all reports
6:11
would show that is his dad.
6:15
He could walk into a
6:17
a Halloween costume party and just say,
6:20
I'm my dad.
6:22
And they would say, yes.
6:23
Good costume.
6:24
And the same thing with Natalie.
6:26
Like,
6:26
there's no questioning that she's my
6:28
daughter.
6:29
Her and I still got beef, so.
6:32
Well, you do.
6:36
Charlie, you got beef with everybody.
6:39
Basically.
6:39
It's just three people right now.
6:41
Me and Corey are okay right now.
6:42
Okay.
6:43
Okay.
6:46
That's good.
6:47
So he posted more videos
6:48
than how you pissed at him.
6:50
Pissed or jealous or motivated?
6:55
All of the above.
6:56
Okay.
6:58
Got it.
6:59
Scott, you work out yet?
7:02
No.
7:03
I had to switch my off day to today.
7:04
Okay.
7:06
Because whenever we do these,
7:07
I don't have a lunch hour.
7:10
Plus, I have had the worst week at work.
7:14
Like, I...
7:18
I'm on this project and our
7:20
vendor is just the... This
7:23
morning I had to go back
7:24
and edit out all the cuss
7:25
words from the email I was
7:26
going to send to them.
7:28
That's the kind of week I've had.
7:30
Why?
7:31
Leave them in.
7:31
Let's see what happens.
7:34
I don't suggest that.
7:37
Strongly worded emails are the best.
7:39
Yes.
7:42
I was so pissed this morning.
7:44
my and julie's working from
7:46
home today and she's like
7:47
what did I do to you and
7:48
I'm like you didn't do
7:49
anything there are other
7:51
variables in this
7:52
relationship today too
7:58
funny it's not good when
8:05
you work with your spouse
8:06
in the same area yeah it
8:09
would be weird if scott and
8:10
I worked in the same area
8:11
because we do vastly
8:12
different things and that just wouldn't
8:15
But sometimes he thinks I
8:16
talk to him like I talk to
8:18
the preschoolers.
8:19
You probably do.
8:21
I do.
8:21
I know.
8:22
But listen,
8:23
that's just talking respectfully.
8:25
You talk to us at the gym like we're.
8:27
You talk to me that way.
8:31
I'll just say I hear your words.
8:35
No, it's really frustrating.
8:36
You go into a mode.
8:38
It's almost like,
8:39
like your facial expression changes.
8:41
You go into the mode and
8:42
then we know we're getting Amy,
8:45
the teacher preschool.
8:47
You're getting S Y C. Co-director.
8:52
S Y C. S Y C. I hear your words.
8:55
I hear your words.
8:56
This is what we're going to do.
8:58
This is what we're going to do.
9:00
All right.
9:01
So I titled this podcast,
9:03
The Stupidest News I've Heard All Year.
9:07
I can't wait.
9:10
And I got to get your
9:10
reaction to this because it
9:11
is the dumbest thing I've
9:13
ever heard of ever, right?
9:16
Okay.
9:17
So it was announced this
9:18
week that a staple in our
9:22
economy and our culture in
9:25
this country is changing its name.
9:32
The cracker known as the
9:34
goldfish is changing its
9:37
name to Chilean sea bass to
9:40
attract more adults.
9:44
And specifically Gen Z. Look
9:52
at the cracker.
9:52
The cracker does not look
9:53
like a Chilean sea bass.
9:56
It looks like a goldfish.
9:58
That doesn't sound
9:59
appetizing to me at all.
10:01
Did goldfish get offended?
10:03
Is that why we're changing it?
10:04
Okay.
10:05
You and I are not getting
10:06
into that conversation on here.
10:08
I was already triggered at
10:10
the gym recently.
10:15
Chilean sea bass, first of all,
10:18
That sounds gross.
10:22
For a snack.
10:23
I'm all for seafood and I love seafood,
10:26
but that doesn't sound
10:29
appetizing and doesn't
10:31
sound like a snack food.
10:32
I'm going to change these
10:35
burritos to Brussels sprout chips.
10:39
Kale chips.
10:39
That'll get them.
10:42
So this is on CNN.
10:43
It's also been posted in USA Today,
10:45
New York Post, several other outlets.
10:48
But there it is.
10:50
Chilean sea bass.
10:52
It has to be a joke.
10:54
That's what I thought.
10:55
That's why I researched it.
10:56
I looked every news outlet.
10:58
Did he always have those glasses on?
11:02
Yes.
11:03
Because that makes him pretty cool.
11:06
But that cracker does not
11:07
look like a Chilean sea bass.
11:09
It looks like a goldfish, damn it.
11:13
I mean... Do you have a
11:15
picture of what you're laying, Seabass?
11:16
I mean, this... Wow.
11:20
Not just for kids anymore.
11:23
You know, why do you need to appeal?
11:25
I mean,
11:26
adults will just gravitate towards
11:27
good snacks anyways.
11:28
You don't need to change a
11:29
name to just make it appeal for.
11:32
Is it really a good snack?
11:33
It is.
11:34
If you like a cheddar cracker, it's great.
11:36
Is that healthy?
11:39
I mean... I didn't say it was healthy.
11:42
Right.
11:42
We didn't say...
11:45
You know what is a good snack?
11:48
Veggie straws.
11:53
That's just a nasty Funyun.
11:55
I don't know.
11:59
They taste like French fries to me.
12:05
I'm not going to get an
12:06
edible and smash a Chilean
12:07
sea bass cracker.
12:12
Sounds like a good time to me.
12:15
It does, actually.
12:16
You're changing Cheez-Its name, too?
12:20
Cheez-Its are where it's at.
12:22
Really,
12:22
the Goldfish and the Cheez-It are
12:24
the same damn thing,
12:25
just in a different shape.
12:26
Right.
12:27
They're feeling the stress,
12:28
the Goldfish company.
12:30
Petridge Farm, feeling the stress.
12:33
Hey, Mom,
12:34
can we pick up some Chilean seabass?
12:42
Wait, is it Chilean sea bass crackers?
12:45
I need to know that part.
12:47
Yes, it does add crackers to it.
12:49
This is pretty dumb.
12:57
CrossFit said the extra
12:58
toast and cheese are better.
13:03
I'm a white cheddar Cheez-It guy.
13:06
I'm a regular,
13:07
but that's a nice change
13:09
every once in a while.
13:09
Here comes
13:15
It is cheesy,
13:15
but it's just a different
13:17
flavor of cheesy.
13:18
Am I going to let that in?
13:23
Sorry, you let her back in.
13:24
I tried to.
13:28
She is in.
13:29
One on three, man.
13:31
I got to change the look.
13:34
There we go.
13:35
Thanks, guys.
13:38
Sorry, I'm late.
13:39
The whole fish have less
13:40
crunch because they're air puffy.
13:43
Okay.
13:45
Sorry, Kat.
13:46
It's okay.
13:48
We're talking about food.
13:49
I love it.
13:49
Keep going.
13:51
Well,
13:51
it's ridiculous is what we're talking
13:53
about.
13:55
The goldfish cracker is
13:56
changing its name to Chilean sea bass.
13:59
Crackers.
13:59
Oh, I love it.
14:01
You do?
14:01
It's more sophisticated than a goldfish,
14:02
right?
14:02
They're leveling up a little.
14:07
We think it's dumb.
14:08
The holy cat would be like, oh.
14:10
It's cute.
14:12
I like it.
14:16
I'm not going to get an
14:18
edible and smash a Chilean
14:19
sea bass cracker.
14:24
He's not sophisticated, apparently.
14:26
Our palates aren't
14:27
sophisticated enough for
14:29
Chilean sea bass.
14:29
I'm always wrong, Corey.
14:35
I'm never right anymore.
14:42
That was the dumbest news
14:43
I've heard all year.
14:45
was that they're changing
14:46
that possibility wrong.
14:53
That's a lot of extra stuff
14:55
to write down for a grocery list too.
14:56
Right.
14:59
Alexa,
15:00
add Chilean sea bass crackers to
15:02
shopping list.
15:03
Chilean sea bass crackers added.
15:04
Oh, do you know what's funny?
15:08
Alexa just added that to my shopping list.
15:13
I heard it in the other room.
15:15
Great.
15:17
But you're going to actually
15:17
get some Chilean sea bass
15:19
into your house.
15:23
CrossFit brings up our next piece of news.
15:25
Maybe it was tainted Chilean
15:26
sea bass that had the
15:27
second round of PEDs.
15:30
And he is referring to the
15:32
news that came out.
15:33
Barbell Spin just posted
15:35
this within the last hour.
15:38
Bam.
15:39
Sean Ramirez fails his
15:40
second now drug test.
15:45
Um,
15:47
This time,
15:48
it was for a
15:51
dihydroxy-LGD-Forty-Thirty-Three.
15:55
Wait, what?
15:55
Hold on.
15:56
Let me write this down.
15:59
Charlie.
16:00
A metabolite of LGD-Forty-Thirty-Three.
16:02
Okay.
16:04
What does this one do?
16:05
What is funny is a couple weeks ago,
16:08
Jamie McGarva tested positive.
16:11
He was the silver medalist
16:12
in the fifty to fifty four
16:13
year old division.
16:15
He then got removed.
16:18
Sean moved to second.
16:20
Joel Hughes moved to third.
16:23
Now that Sean has tested positive,
16:25
now he is in the appeal process.
16:27
If he loses the appeal,
16:30
Sean goes out from second
16:32
and Joel Hughes moves up to second.
16:36
And it's listed in this
16:38
article who comes in to third,
16:41
which is... Y'all better be careful.
16:45
It's a trend happening.
16:49
Listen, when you're in your fifties,
16:50
just let them do it.
16:50
I know.
16:50
Seriously.
16:53
Jason Leaves will move from
16:55
fifth place into third.
16:56
Oh, okay.
17:00
Fifth to third.
17:01
That means he gets tested too, right?
17:02
Yeah, at some point.
17:10
So the ironic thing is I was
17:13
working on this week's
17:14
episode for the behind the
17:15
scenes for the come out this Monday.
17:20
And both Jamie McGarvey's
17:23
interview and Sean's
17:25
interview were due to be in
17:27
the next episode.
17:30
So I'm leaving them in.
17:32
I'm going to point them out and say,
17:35
these two gentlemen tested
17:36
positive for PEDs because
17:39
then to hear them talk
17:41
gives it a whole different context.
17:44
Sure.
17:45
Totally.
17:45
Did you get them on camera
17:46
getting handed them?
17:47
Like Ricky.
17:52
The black bottle with the tape around it?
17:54
With the tape around it.
17:55
Drink this.
17:55
I know how bad it is.
17:59
Yeah,
18:00
people will totally go for it just to
18:02
see what they have to say.
18:05
So this week's episode of
18:06
the Behind the Scenes will be the P.E.D.
18:10
episode.
18:10
Yeah.
18:11
Love it.
18:15
I need to know what these do.
18:16
Well, they make you pop.
18:17
That's what happens.
18:21
I've not heard of it.
18:22
This isn't our, like,
18:23
typical... I know it.
18:24
...GSW or GW, whatever it is.
18:26
GW-Fifty-O-One-Five.
18:29
I got to act like I don't know what it is.
18:32
This is old news.
18:32
We've talked about this for years.
18:36
I haven't heard yet.
18:41
This might be my key.
18:46
Apparently he thought it was
18:49
the brand that he could get away with.
18:54
He is using the old tainted
18:55
supplement excuse for the second time.
19:00
Oh, yeah.
19:04
You should have gone with my
19:05
significant other was using it.
19:09
Right.
19:09
And we kissed and you got it.
19:10
Yeah.
19:12
Yeah.
19:12
Those ain't your mom's PEDs.
19:14
Yeah.
19:15
You should see the PEDs my mom uses.
19:19
Mama Swipes is awesome stuff.
19:25
This is great.
19:26
Yeah.
19:27
He's playing his greatest hits.
19:33
geez yeah when you see the
19:33
interview with him man it
19:36
has a whole different
19:37
context now I can't wait
19:43
yeah he ate his vitamins
19:44
and said his prayers dude
19:48
it's all about his how
19:49
appreciative he is for the
19:50
second chance and the
19:52
opportunity the people who
19:53
supported him oh man come
19:57
off really cringy yeah
20:01
That's how you say hip, Scott,
20:03
using the young kids language.
20:06
Cringy?
20:07
It's so cringe.
20:08
I don't think that's hearing anymore.
20:11
That Chilean sea bass
20:12
cracker sounds so cringe.
20:14
I think you're out of it.
20:17
I am.
20:18
I really don't care.
20:21
The PED is so nice you used them twice.
20:27
Maybe Skibbity Ohio.
20:28
What a damn joke.
20:29
Skibbity Ohio.
20:31
At least they're catching people, right?
20:34
Yeah.
20:34
You know?
20:35
This is going to make me
20:39
coming out slow from that comp,
20:40
so they must be doing their
20:42
due diligence.
20:43
I think what Charlie's
20:44
wondering is when they find a supplement,
20:47
tainted supplement,
20:49
and they put those somewhere,
20:51
where is that location
20:52
where they put those so he
20:53
can just go to that location?
20:54
Grab them.
20:56
Check that.
20:57
What's the lot number again?
20:59
Yeah.
21:02
I'm investigating.
21:03
Yeah.
21:04
Just for the pod.
21:05
Undercover.
21:06
Yeah.
21:08
Maybe he thought double jeopardy.
21:09
That's great.
21:10
Oh, shoot.
21:10
Yeah.
21:21
And the chat is on fire today.
21:23
Yeah.
21:29
Oh, wow.
21:30
Yeah.
21:31
Again, you're fifty, man.
21:32
You just gotta let it run.
21:36
Don't do what they gotta do.
21:38
Pretty soon,
21:38
we're gonna be in that fifty category.
21:40
Weights get heavy as you get older.
21:42
What are you talking about?
21:42
Pretty soon.
21:45
I was talking specifically
21:47
to Charlie and I. That's all.
21:51
We've been there, done that years ago.
21:55
You better get some LCD...
22:02
This is my age group, man.
22:04
Right.
22:04
I'm not there.
22:05
I didn't,
22:06
I didn't take enough of the other stuff,
22:08
man.
22:09
We're like,
22:10
we're like just a couple of
22:10
years away from being at
22:11
the top end of the next grouping.
22:16
And next year is my rookie
22:17
year in the fifty five to fifty nine.
22:20
Perfect.
22:20
Beautiful.
22:21
Love it.
22:22
You get to actually change the weights.
22:24
You get to do some fun stuff.
22:25
Yeah.
22:27
You can get your golden Buckeye card.
22:29
Yeah.
22:32
Tristan Patrick, I truly wonder,
22:33
is age group or team that
22:35
has more drug use?
22:39
That get caught or actually do it?
22:41
Good point.
22:42
I think it's do it.
22:44
Got to be age group.
22:45
Yeah, I would think so.
22:50
Yeah, aging sucks.
22:53
Aging sucks.
22:54
Next piece of CrossFit news,
22:56
which is fun to share,
22:57
is that Rogue announced a new implement.
23:03
Look at that.
23:06
Who's that girl?
23:07
She might be a member of the
23:07
Clydesdale Media family.
23:12
She is testing out the
23:13
horizontal pegboard.
23:16
So we're becoming American Ninja Warrior,
23:18
basically.
23:20
Pretty much.
23:21
So it's been used before at
23:23
the outfit championships in Egypt,
23:26
but never this long.
23:29
That's what she's.
23:30
Yep.
23:31
I was going to say,
23:32
this is very suggestive.
23:33
The horizontal pegboard.
23:36
Size does matter.
23:40
They should put alligators
23:40
in a moat under.
23:41
I don't see that at high rocks.
23:43
I'll tell you that.
23:44
Yeah.
23:46
don't see weights there
23:47
either what I think is
23:49
interesting is you can't
23:50
put your feet on anything
23:54
yeah yeah so now let's
23:55
break some ankles yeah
24:00
where's the crash pad yeah
24:05
gotta use some big peg yeah
24:08
you gotta get them right
24:10
In the right hole in order to, yep.
24:14
Really,
24:14
this is all about getting the peg
24:15
in the hole.
24:18
It is.
24:19
Quickly.
24:19
And hold on for dear life.
24:25
Yeah.
24:26
So that's fun.
24:27
Rogue has also announced
24:29
that they're bringing back
24:30
the premium stream,
24:33
which I did last year and
24:34
was worth every penny of that.
24:37
Yeah.
24:39
It gives you multiple angles
24:41
of every event.
24:43
And you're the director.
24:45
You can flip them to whatever you wish.
24:48
And with that,
24:50
it also comes with an
24:51
alternative broadcast,
24:52
which last year was led by Pat Sherwood.
24:55
They had guests like Josh Bridges on,
24:58
Annie, Katrin, Rich, Jason Kalipa.
25:03
And countless of even strong men,
25:05
strong women.
25:08
And what was great about it
25:09
is Josh is doing the programming.
25:11
So when he's on the alternate broadcast,
25:13
you get a great perspective
25:15
as to why he designed the
25:17
workout the way he did and
25:19
why like Katie vetoed his
25:22
decision and changed it to this or not.
25:25
And that was awesome last year.
25:28
Um, and so I, I highly recommend it.
25:31
And, you know,
25:31
we always complain that we
25:33
want this shot or that shot
25:35
row gives you your own
25:37
ability to switch to
25:38
whatever shot you want.
25:41
That's cool.
25:41
Do we think we're going to see the,
25:43
that new piece of equipment in the,
25:45
in the event?
25:46
Do you think that's why they released it?
25:47
Oh yeah.
25:48
That is what they it's.
25:49
Yeah.
25:49
It'll be.
25:50
Okay.
25:52
Yeah.
25:53
Word on the street is they
25:54
wanted to give contestants
25:55
enough time to try it out.
26:00
Contestants.
26:04
I know what I was going to say.
26:11
Okay.
26:13
I saw somebody did the
26:15
qualifier on a whim and
26:18
qualified for Rogue,
26:21
which was Taylor Williamson.
26:23
Oh, wow.
26:26
She's like a robot.
26:27
Yeah.
26:28
I know proving out a road to
26:30
rogue yeah uh with her I
26:32
haven't seen it yet but
26:33
it's it's in my queue to to
26:35
catch soon are these big
26:40
things still around you
26:43
don't ever hear anything
26:45
really hwpos and the yeah I
26:49
don't want to dive down all of that um
26:53
Yeah, that's been a dumpster fire.
26:55
There's so much going on with all that.
26:56
I'm just getting out of that for now.
26:59
Wow.
27:04
CrossFit said,
27:05
proven coaches required to
27:06
have very fit female significant others.
27:08
Yeah, right.
27:08
Nick and Shane.
27:15
Tristan says,
27:17
Taylor is also destroying
27:18
people in the fittest on
27:20
the coast qualifiers,
27:22
which I know a lot of
27:23
people are doing right now.
27:27
What'd she go to school for?
27:28
Chiropractor?
27:30
A physician assistant, maybe?
27:34
it's that notch below doctor.
27:36
Like she can prescribe
27:37
medicine and do all that stuff.
27:39
She's not just not a full doctor yet.
27:42
Above a nurse used to be a
27:44
nurse practitioner.
27:45
Yeah.
27:47
But they call it something else.
27:48
I think you're right, Amy.
27:51
I think so too.
27:58
Did you hear that?
27:58
I think you're right.
27:59
Uh, NP or PA.
28:01
Mm hmm.
28:01
Mm hmm.
28:09
The other big drama that's
28:11
kind of been hovering over everything is
28:15
There's rumors that the
28:16
CrossFit Games next year
28:17
will be an online only
28:21
process to get to the games.
28:25
And then the games would be in person.
28:27
But no in-person semifinals.
28:30
And then tweaking the
28:31
numbers of the stages, getting there,
28:34
and that's still kind of
28:35
like fluid as to what
28:36
people think it's going to be.
28:39
In addition to that,
28:40
separate and apart from the game season,
28:43
it is rumored that there are
28:47
um four different entities
28:51
trying to build their own
28:52
crossfit game season only
28:55
it wouldn't be the crossfit
28:56
games it would be an
28:56
alternative alternate to
28:58
the crossfit games right
29:01
last night on the spin uh
29:03
brian spin found
29:08
Somewhere where he wasn't
29:08
supposed to be on the net,
29:11
Dubai with a full format of a year's,
29:16
and it really overlapped
29:18
what the CrossFit game
29:19
season has always been in
29:20
kind of the same structure.
29:24
And that would be backed by
29:27
the shakes in Dubai,
29:32
which has plenty of money
29:33
to do whatever they want to do.
29:36
um but and then I've heard
29:38
the other ones are more
29:39
like athlete founded kind
29:41
of concepts but I don't I I
29:44
am not part of these rumors
29:46
I'm just hearing yeah
29:48
what's going on my question
29:52
what's that athletes that
29:54
are out of crossfit or in
29:55
crossfit I I don't know
30:00
But my question is, one,
30:03
do we like an online format
30:05
to get to the games?
30:05
No.
30:07
Hard no.
30:10
Do we think an alternative will succeed?
30:12
No.
30:13
No.
30:18
No.
30:18
Thanks for asking.
30:19
Next.
30:19
What else?
30:19
What else you got?
30:19
I've been thinking about it
30:23
overnight and this morning.
30:25
My thought is nobody's
30:27
taking into consideration fans, right?
30:31
CrossFit is doing what
30:32
they're doing because they
30:33
need to save money.
30:36
It's not about fan engagement.
30:37
It's about what is the
30:39
cheapest way from point A
30:40
to point Z. On the other hand,
30:44
the athlete-based ones
30:47
aren't taking into account
30:49
either the fans.
30:51
It's about what the athletes want,
30:53
what the athletes need.
30:54
So my question is,
30:57
what good is it to have a
30:58
sport if you don't allow
31:01
the fans to come see it?
31:04
Yeah.
31:05
But I, I also would think though,
31:08
you're not going to have
31:08
the same athletic
31:09
performance on an online
31:12
versus being in person
31:13
competing against other people.
31:18
There's no race online.
31:19
Right.
31:20
Yeah.
31:21
There's it's, it's ridiculous.
31:25
Um,
31:29
Ah, it's just, I just, I'm,
31:33
I'm really sad about the
31:34
whole thing and I hope that
31:36
there's some changes to
31:37
this that make it easier to understand,
31:41
but how many people do we
31:42
see every year that go
31:44
through the online portion
31:46
of the season show up at
31:47
semifinals and cannot hang?
31:49
Yeah.
31:50
Yeah.
31:50
Yeah.
31:52
Not even lose,
31:53
but like can't even get
31:56
through movements.
32:00
Wonder how they got there.
32:01
Was that Lefris Theophanides?
32:05
Oh,
32:05
he could do everything because he had
32:06
all the stuff in him.
32:09
Ramirez stuff.
32:10
There's nothing he couldn't do.
32:13
Like it took two paragraphs
32:14
to list what was in that dude.
32:15
Yeah.
32:19
Yeah, this is a dumb idea.
32:20
I don't like it.
32:22
They can take this and the
32:22
Chilean sea bass crackers.
32:26
somewhere else well maybe
32:28
it's the new league is
32:29
going to be sponsored by
32:30
the chilean sea bass
32:32
probably can you imagine
32:34
having to say that every
32:35
time the crossfit the
32:36
chilean sea bass crossfit
32:38
games that would be awesome
32:44
only if sean woodland's doing it yeah
32:51
yeah uh crossfit says uh
32:52
leftist was on the special
32:54
greek tainted supplements ah so
33:04
My only thing is, is if like one,
33:07
it can't be in Dubai, Dubai,
33:09
like the travel for people
33:10
to get there to even watch
33:13
is going to be so immense.
33:15
It'll be a European based.
33:16
Sure.
33:18
And maybe that's what they want.
33:19
Maybe a European version of what,
33:23
what we have over here.
33:25
Um,
33:29
I keep crossfit's just
33:31
hitting cross fat is just
33:32
hitting yeah all the jokes
33:34
um what good bad jokes
33:35
today if somebody did it
33:41
there has to be on there
33:43
has to be in-person parts
33:44
of this or it doesn't work
33:47
but maybe we can find a
33:48
like a cheaper way to do it
33:52
I don't know.
33:54
To me,
33:54
semifinals are the most fun time to
33:56
watch the sport, and it's never,
33:58
ever marketed as that.
34:01
It's where all the drama is
34:03
because everybody's trying
34:04
to make it to the next level.
34:05
You have drama at the top
34:06
for people trying to win,
34:08
and you have drama at the
34:09
cut line for people trying
34:11
to get to the games.
34:12
It's just drama everywhere,
34:13
and it's so much fun to watch.
34:15
It's more intimate,
34:17
and the accessibility to
34:19
everybody involved is much easier.
34:22
The games, you can't get anywhere.
34:24
Yep.
34:26
Yeah, that's just dumb.
34:37
So,
34:38
excuse me while I go get some Greek
34:39
yogurt.
34:41
Charlie, that's you.
34:42
I get mine at Costco.
34:44
So I get the bulk.
34:47
You get the left-dress Greek
34:49
yogurt at Costco.
34:51
Costco.
34:52
So you buy it in bulk to get the bulk.
34:54
There you go.
34:59
Yeah.
35:01
I actually ironically did that yesterday.
35:03
Julie wanted some yogurt.
35:05
So I went and picked it up
35:07
at BJ's and my fridge is now half yogurt.
35:15
Kirkland tainted Greek yogurt.
35:19
It's right next to the baby oil.
35:21
Okay.
35:21
Okay.
35:25
Now, now, now.
35:27
They don't carry that.
35:28
That's right.
35:28
Sorry.
35:35
So yeah,
35:35
that's all the drama that I know
35:37
of that's going on that I
35:38
want to speak about.
35:42
I just want fans to be part
35:45
of the equation when you're
35:46
thinking about what the
35:47
season's going to be.
35:49
Because none of it matters
35:50
if nobody watches.
35:53
And the fans are the ones
35:54
that can bring in more money.
35:57
All CrossFit's ever done to
35:58
bring in more money is
36:00
create new hurdles to get
36:01
to the end and make the athletes pay.
36:10
Sorry, I burnt my lunch.
36:11
But it also helps the
36:12
development of the sport
36:14
because if you get younger
36:15
aspiring athletes...
36:17
watching and getting excited
36:18
for the sport they're going
36:19
to feed into feed into the
36:21
sport into the games but if
36:23
you're cutting that off
36:25
then the future of it is
36:26
not going to continue to
36:28
grow so agreed agreed
36:39
And what sucks is, like,
36:40
I think we have the most
36:41
parity we've ever had on
36:42
the men's side of the sport
36:46
where any of eight to ten
36:49
guys can win any year if
36:53
the programming is right for them.
37:00
Yeah.
37:00
Corey says,
37:01
slightly burnt pizza is still
37:02
pretty damn good, Kat.
37:04
I know,
37:04
but it's going to take forever
37:05
before I can even start
37:06
eating it because it's so hot.
37:07
That's like cauliflower
37:10
crust or some nonsense.
37:11
No, it's the good stuff.
37:12
Broccoli on it.
37:13
Gross.
37:13
It probably has fruit on it.
37:22
My daughter called me the other night.
37:23
She picked up a pizza that
37:25
had chickpeas on it.
37:27
Who the hell eats a chickpea pizza?
37:31
My daughter.
37:31
My daughter.
37:35
Is she still vegetarian all the way?
37:37
No.
37:37
Okay.
37:38
Not at all.
37:40
Okay.
37:41
That was a face.
37:42
That was a face.
37:43
Yeah.
37:43
It was a three year long awful.
37:45
When she moved out and had
37:47
to cook for herself.
37:48
Yeah.
37:56
When we stopped funding the
37:57
vegetarianism and cooking
38:00
the vegetarianism, it went away.
38:02
Oh, interesting.
38:04
It's funny how that, that happened.
38:06
Yeah.
38:12
And now I call her and she's
38:13
like cooking a roast for
38:16
meal prep for the week or yeah.
38:17
Yeah.
38:24
Uh, here's your hummus pizza.
38:31
Oh, you guys got anything else?
38:35
I don't.
38:35
You know what I'm going to
38:36
do this weekend?
38:37
Can you take a guess?
38:39
Oh, how was your ruck workout?
38:42
Oh, the ruck workout was good.
38:43
Now,
38:45
it wasn't too challenging because my
38:47
rucksack, it was only twenty pounds,
38:49
so like the ground to overhead
38:52
was fine, but so I was able to do,
38:54
I did the forty in the
38:56
garage and then like I
38:58
wrecked around my
38:58
neighborhood and then I did
39:00
the thirty back in the
39:00
garage and then I decided
39:02
to to hike out more towards the park.
39:07
And then so at one point, you know,
39:08
I stopped to take off my
39:09
vest to do the last and I was like,
39:12
I kind of feel a little bit
39:12
silly right now because
39:14
neighbors are watching me
39:15
do ground to overhead with
39:16
my with my weighted vest.
39:19
But it was good because Murph came with me,
39:21
too.
39:23
Cool.
39:24
Yeah.
39:25
Mr. Judgy Judgerson.
39:27
He is a judger.
39:28
Do you think it was a good
39:29
workout of the day?
39:30
Yeah.
39:31
Yeah, for sure.
39:38
Corey's guessing that your
39:39
weekend is PEDs disguised
39:42
as hummus pizza for your weekend.
39:44
No,
39:45
I'm going to do my favorite thing ever.
39:47
Hiking?
39:47
Yep.
39:47
Where are you going?
39:50
Oh, just somewhere around here.
39:53
Well, I'm going to go to a state park.
39:55
Okay.
39:56
It's like an hour away.
39:58
Did you see all my Catskill
40:00
pictures from last weekend?
40:02
Yes.
40:02
So we did this one hike.
40:06
It was five miles round trip
40:10
and it was like a fifteen
40:11
hundred foot elevation.
40:13
Yeah.
40:14
I mean,
40:15
we didn't stop going uphill like
40:16
the entire time.
40:17
It was like, I don't,
40:19
I can't believe there were
40:20
so many people doing it
40:21
that just were like in
40:22
Crocs and just like not, and I was dying.
40:25
My calves and like Achilles
40:27
were so sore the next day,
40:29
but we did that.
40:30
And then the same day we did another, um,
40:32
like a two mile loop was
40:33
supposed to be a two mile
40:34
loop to go see waterfalls.
40:36
And it was so crowded that
40:38
we had to park like three
40:39
trail heads away.
40:40
Yeah.
40:41
So it ended up being like
40:42
another four or five mile hike.
40:43
I did like twenty seven
40:45
thousand steps and went
40:47
like twelve miles that one day.
40:49
It's crazy.
40:50
Well,
40:51
I've been doing all these box step-ups.
40:53
It's the October challenge
40:54
to prepare for Chad.
40:58
And so I think I'm like,
41:00
this is really what people,
41:01
if people are training for
41:04
hiking expeditions,
41:05
this is what they should be training for.
41:08
Naturally,
41:08
training out in nature is great.
41:10
I'm just saying,
41:11
if they don't have the opportunity,
41:13
putting on a rucksack,
41:14
if you're planning on
41:15
carrying a backpack for
41:17
that real hiking thing, adventure,
41:20
That's a great training tool.
41:22
Yeah.
41:25
Yeah.
41:25
I love waterfalls.
41:26
Yeah.
41:29
All right.
41:30
Well, next week is next week is Halloween.
41:32
Are we going to dress up?
41:33
Are we dressing up for the podcast?
41:38
I can do something.
41:39
Oh, okay.
41:40
I have an idea.
41:41
I got something I can use.
41:42
I can figure out something probably.
41:44
I'm going to create drama, but I'll.
41:46
And real quick,
41:46
did we talk about the new
41:47
concept to machine?
41:49
Have we done that on any?
41:50
You can, you can talk about it.
41:54
No, it's good.
41:55
I love it.
41:55
I think it's a cool, I love how the,
41:57
you know,
41:57
the owners of the company are
41:59
getting up in age and they're looking for,
42:01
you know,
42:02
things that they can do to keep
42:03
them active.
42:04
And it's cool.
42:06
I know people are kind of
42:06
criticizing it and saying
42:07
it's like not tough or whatever,
42:08
but I'm all for it.
42:11
Like I haven't seen like a lot of the,
42:14
the criticism, but, um,
42:15
How much is it?
42:16
That's all you need to know.
42:17
Is it under a thousand dollars?
42:17
Fifteen hundred with the monitor.
42:19
Yeah.
42:21
What is it?
42:22
Maybe not.
42:23
I'm pulling it up.
42:24
Oh, okay.
42:25
It looks,
42:25
it reminds me of the total gym a
42:27
little bit.
42:32
But it's supposed to be,
42:33
the resistance is supposed
42:35
to be such that you're
42:36
building like strength.
42:38
What in the world?
42:38
Well, that looks like a problem.
42:44
So the only criticism I've
42:47
heard is it doesn't have eccentric.
42:52
Oh, it doesn't.
42:53
It's all just the one.
42:54
What is this?
42:57
You should probably buy next.
43:01
And just like all the Ergs,
43:02
it is based on wind resistance.
43:04
So like when you're pushing
43:07
it away with wind with the
43:08
flywheel and you can set the damper.
43:13
That old man is jacked.
43:16
You can push with your legs
43:18
like a leg press.
43:20
Yeah.
43:21
The concept is to find a three rep max,
43:23
though.
43:24
It's not cardio.
43:25
This is different.
43:27
Strength erg.
43:28
Interesting.
43:31
Yeah.
43:32
I mean, it's great for a good,
43:36
a vast majority of the
43:38
general population.
43:40
Yes.
43:40
I don't think we're going to
43:41
see it across the gym.
43:44
Just go to the gym.
43:45
Just stop it.
43:46
Some people can't, Charlie.
43:49
You can hang your hangers
43:50
right there on this
43:54
yeah like I said I think
43:55
with the monitors fifteen
43:56
hundred without the monitor
43:57
it's like twelve hundred
44:00
that's cheaper than a lot
44:01
of alternatives what do you
44:03
do without the monitor you
44:04
just guess what your
44:06
numbers are oh you just do
44:08
a rep at four damper until
44:10
you try to get to four and
44:11
a half damper I feel like I
44:13
don't know I feel like
44:15
that's three hundred pounds
44:19
PR today.
44:21
You're just being a meathead.
44:23
Meatheads.
44:24
They got a lock alarm on that thing too.
44:27
Probably.
44:31
And I think like you can get
44:32
an attachment that has,
44:33
it's a pizza oven.
44:35
So your pizza doesn't burn
44:36
while you're working out.
44:37
Tell me about it.
44:38
Maybe it's a timer.
44:40
Yeah.
44:41
I had the timer.
44:41
I just didn't hear it.
44:44
Yeah.
44:44
Too far away from the kitchen.
44:46
We'll go eat your burnt pizza.
44:48
Alexa was too busy filling
44:50
your shopping list with
44:51
chili and peanuts crackers.
44:53
Yes, exactly.
44:54
I can't wait to see that on the list.
44:57
All right, guys.
44:57
All right.
44:58
All right, guys,
44:59
we'll see you guys next week.
45:00
Thank you so much to
45:01
everybody for being here.
45:02
You guys were awesome today.
45:03
The jokes were on point.
45:06
Love you guys to death.
45:07
See everyone next week on class.
45:09
No media round table.
45:10
Bye.
