  Vicky got called into a last minute work
• 1:37
  meeting.
• 1:38
  So yeah,
• 1:41
  it's just me running the show and
• 1:44
  everything today.
• 1:46
  I've been spoiled with Vicky over the last
• 1:47
  few days.
• 1:49
  and weeks,
• 1:50
  so now I am kind of at a
• 1:53
  loss as to what to do.
• 1:55
  Going back old school OG,
• 1:57
  running everything today.
• 1:58
  Yeah, Mark Phillips, super,
• 2:00
  super small team today.
• 2:02
  Just moi.
• 2:05
  Just me.
• 2:07
  Yep, going solo.
• 2:10
  Yeah,
• 2:11
  I almost sent Joseph Vermeer as a link
• 2:13
  to pop in just because I felt lonely.
• 2:18
  I felt lonely.
• 2:21
  um, at AI with his second breakfast,
• 2:24
  he sent me a picture of the most
• 2:28
  beautiful breakfast I've ever seen.
• 2:33
  It damn, damn.
• 2:38
  I've been doing a little bit of
• 2:39
  intermittent fasting,
• 2:40
  so I haven't been eating breakfast.
• 2:42
  Um,
• 2:45
  just to kind of help try to regulate
• 2:47
  my sugar a little bit.
• 2:48
  Um,
• 2:50
  It's been working really well,
• 2:52
  but I haven't had breakfast in a while.
• 2:58
  But it'll look good.
• 2:59
  It'll look good.
• 2:59
  I do sometimes have breakfast for dinner.
• 3:02
  Why does breakfast at dinner taste better
• 3:04
  than breakfast at breakfast?
• 3:07
  Why is the change up in the time
• 3:09
  you eat it make it taste differently than
• 3:14
  the normal AM breakfast?
• 3:20
  so like like i love french toast love
• 3:26
  french toast but man when i'm having it
• 3:29
  for dinner it just hits different a couple
• 3:33
  eggs a little piece of french toast man
• 3:40
  i also love chicken and waffles chicken
• 3:42
  and waffles are good too there's a
• 3:44
  restaurant here that makes them that it oh
• 3:47
  so good
• 3:49
  So good.
• 3:50
  Love chicken and waffles.
• 3:56
  Yeah.
• 3:56
  And dinner for breakfast is taboo.
• 3:59
  Yeah.
• 3:59
  It's okay to have breakfast for dinner,
• 4:00
  but we can't have dinner for breakfast.
• 4:03
  I used to work with someone who did
• 4:04
  not believe in breakfast food.
• 4:06
  They ate like a burger for breakfast or
• 4:11
  like pork chops and Brussels sprouts for
• 4:14
  breakfast.
• 4:16
  It's crazy.
• 4:21
  uh ed ai more saltiness i season it
• 4:25
  the same i don't i think the palette's
• 4:28
  just different at different times of the
• 4:31
  day uh french toast is the best it
• 4:38
  really is when i had a kid like
• 4:41
  when i had a kid i still have
• 4:43
  a kid um she's just not living with
• 4:45
  me anymore she always wanted waffles or
• 4:48
  pancakes
• 4:51
  I would take French toast over those other
• 4:53
  two things every day of the week and
• 4:56
  twice on Sunday.
• 4:58
  French toast is so much better than those
• 5:00
  other two.
• 5:03
  So Joseph Ramirez has meat and potatoes
• 5:09
  for breakfast most days.
• 5:11
  So that doesn't tell the story, Joseph.
• 5:13
  If you have bacon and potatoes,
• 5:14
  that makes complete sense.
• 5:17
  If you're having pork chops and potatoes,
• 5:19
  that's a little bit different.
• 5:22
  So I need specificity.
• 5:33
  Mine is the best, Daniel says.
• 5:35
  I should have been a chef.
• 5:36
  Well, still time.
• 5:39
  Still time.
• 5:42
  Steak and potatoes.
• 5:45
  Okay.
• 5:45
  Like steak and eggs is a thing, right?
• 5:48
  Get a side of hash browns, home fries.
• 5:52
  You're just taking out the egg, right?
• 5:57
  That should be acceptable.
• 6:01
  I want to rest my arm over here
• 6:02
  and there was something in the way.
• 6:07
  Pork chops and potatoes is going to be
• 6:08
  Joseph and my new side podcast.
• 6:15
  There you go.
• 6:16
  There you go.
• 6:22
  Steak and unprocessed hash browns,
• 6:23
  I'm hearing.
• 6:27
  Yeah, I don't like hash browns.
• 6:29
  I'm a home fry guy.
• 6:30
  I want like a potato chunk, some onion,
• 6:34
  some garlic, give it some kick,
• 6:37
  some boost.
• 6:39
  That like shredded up potato stuff,
• 6:42
  I don't even, I hate,
• 6:43
  I know this is going to be controversial,
• 6:45
  tater tots, most overrated food ever.
• 6:50
  And now like everybody's taking a tater
• 6:52
  tot and they're making it like tater tot
• 6:54
  nachos or tater tot this.
• 6:59
  Give me a break.
• 7:03
  Potato chunk.
• 7:05
  Better.
• 7:06
  Fry.
• 7:06
  Better.
• 7:07
  French fry.
• 7:08
  Better.
• 7:18
  Potato has to crunch.
• 7:19
  Yes.
• 7:21
  And home fries are just blah, just blah.
• 7:27
  Like they're, they're, they're limp.
• 7:30
  They have no zest.
• 7:32
  They're just blah.
• 7:36
  Home fries, you get chunky potato,
• 7:38
  you get the onion, you get the garlic,
• 7:39
  you get, get that zest with it.
• 7:41
  Right.
• 7:43
  If you're really wild,
• 7:44
  you put a little bit of Heinz ketchup
• 7:46
  on there.
• 7:54
  um hot takes with scott you know it
• 7:58
  you know it always getting the hot takes
• 7:59
  here on about whatever something made me
• 8:05
  laugh today i just wanted to share with
• 8:06
  you guys you got you all know i'm
• 8:07
  i'm like a lego nut right so my
• 8:10
  algorithm pulls up weird shit on instagram
• 8:15
  um and this is a concept lego
• 8:21
  Oh my gosh.
• 8:22
  I want it to be real so bad.
• 8:24
  So if you've ever seen Ace Ventura When
• 8:27
  Nature Calls,
• 8:29
  this is a concept Lego that someone is
• 8:32
  trying to get made.
• 8:35
  And if you've ever seen Ace Ventura When
• 8:37
  Nature Calls,
• 8:38
  when he is hiding covertly in a mechanical
• 8:42
  rhino and then is birthed out the back
• 8:47
  and this person has made a...
• 8:50
  a rhino lego for this it is freaking
• 8:54
  awesome i want it so bad uh it
• 9:01
  made me laugh so hard it's one of
• 9:04
  the funniest things in a movie ever and
• 9:06
  to put it in the lego would be
• 9:08
  hilarious uh vicky you need a meeting with
• 9:17
  your boss
• 9:19
  Well, Vicky's not here.
• 9:21
  This is solo Scott today.
• 9:22
  You're just getting me raw, uncut,
• 9:26
  my hot takes, whatever.
• 9:31
  Least favorite fry is a steak fry.
• 9:36
  Depends on how it's cooked, Daniel.
• 9:41
  I prefer the steak fry over the crinkle
• 9:42
  cut.
• 9:45
  I probably,
• 9:46
  I'm not a shoestring potato guy either.
• 9:48
  Those are, eh.
• 9:52
  I like a waffle.
• 9:52
  I like a curly.
• 9:55
  I like just a fry.
• 9:59
  But fresh cut is the best by far.
• 10:01
  However you're going to,
• 10:02
  whatever shape or size,
• 10:04
  got to be fresh cut.
• 10:07
  And I like my fries baked.
• 10:10
  Um,
• 10:12
  I like the grease from a fryer just
• 10:14
  as too much for me.
• 10:24
  Uh, the only exception is red Robin.
• 10:26
  I,
• 10:26
  we used to go to red Robin all
• 10:27
  the time for the bottomless fries, right?
• 10:29
  The,
• 10:30
  I got sick the last time I was
• 10:31
  there and now I just can't,
• 10:34
  I just can't anymore.
• 10:37
  And I love burgers.
• 10:41
  Jody, your late tater tots are awful.
• 10:48
  If you can get them crispy,
• 10:49
  maybe they're good.
• 10:50
  But my gosh,
• 10:50
  the chances of getting them crispy is so
• 10:53
  minute.
• 10:54
  It's not worth the effort.
• 10:59
  It's not worth the effort at all.
• 11:09
  Are we pro or con on the waffle
• 11:11
  fry ends?
• 11:12
  You know the ones.
• 11:13
  I do.
• 11:15
  I like potato chunks, right?
• 11:16
  So the end is actually cool with me.
• 11:27
  Block Jody.
• 11:28
  Put her in timeout for that.
• 11:32
  Yeah, we are anti-tater tot on this show.
• 11:44
  Avera says, I do not eat fries anymore,
• 11:46
  but when I did,
• 11:46
  nothing better than Five Guys fries.
• 11:50
  I am so, in my older age,
• 11:54
  so intolerant of grease.
• 11:57
  And those Five Guy fries, the bag,
• 11:59
  the paper bag is so wet.
• 12:03
  So wet.
• 12:04
  Like the grease that just pours out of
• 12:06
  them.
• 12:08
  Do they taste good?
• 12:08
  Sure, but I pay for it shortly after.
• 12:13
  I just can't.
• 12:21
  Sean, tater tots are awful.
• 12:26
  They're the worst of the potato family.
• 12:31
  It's a rolled up hash brown.
• 12:43
  Five Guys is so overrated and priced.
• 12:45
  I don't disagree with you on that either,
• 12:47
  Daniel.
• 12:47
  I'm agreeing with you too much today.
• 12:49
  I don't know what...
• 12:52
  I don't know.
• 12:58
  In-N-Out, Checkers, Wendy's,
• 13:00
  Jack in the Box, Chick-fil-A.
• 13:05
  What are we doing here, Joseph?
• 13:07
  In-N-Out is the best burger there is.
• 13:10
  End of story.
• 13:14
  Chick-fil-A, I enjoy occasionally.
• 13:17
  Wendy's has gone way downhill recently.
• 13:20
  checkers never really had a checkers
• 13:23
  around me i've had rallies which is kind
• 13:27
  of a checkers and i've never ever had
• 13:29
  jack in the box in my life meg
• 13:37
  loves fries that's her weakness
• 13:51
  You know, on a Friday,
• 13:52
  you can be wrong, Scott.
• 13:55
  I'm wrong all the time.
• 13:56
  Just ask my wife.
• 14:00
  She'll let you know.
• 14:06
  So anyway, there we go.
• 14:24
  Oh, my gosh.
• 14:24
  Mike DeVito,
• 14:25
  did you know why Wendy's has the best
• 14:27
  burgers?
• 14:27
  They didn't cut corners.
• 14:32
  There you go.
• 14:36
  I enjoy a Culver's burger.
• 14:38
  You know what?
• 14:39
  When the games were in Madison,
• 14:41
  the only place open when we were leaving
• 14:44
  the media room at night was Culver's.
• 14:47
  And Jamie and I and Rosie would, Jess,
• 14:52
  would go through Culver's and get like a
• 14:55
  double cheeseburger every night at the
• 14:57
  games.
• 14:58
  And it tasted so good.
• 15:00
  They're just a little salty and it just
• 15:02
  hit the spot after a long day at
• 15:05
  the games.
• 15:14
  I think that's it, Mark.
• 15:16
  The issue with tater tots are when they're
• 15:18
  bad, they're really, really bad.
• 15:21
  And the problem is to find the good
• 15:23
  ones.
• 15:24
  It's just like me with horror movies.
• 15:26
  I can't watch horror movies because
• 15:27
  there's so many bad ones.
• 15:29
  I just don't have it in me to
• 15:31
  sort through the crap to get to the
• 15:34
  one or two good ones.
• 15:41
  Yeah.
• 15:50
  George Wang, pretty much, yeah.
• 15:51
  I only keep them alive is Frosty and
• 15:55
  that chili.
• 15:57
  The chili's even gone downhill for me,
• 15:59
  Mike.
• 16:01
  And the corporate office of Wendy's is
• 16:04
  literally like ten minutes away from my
• 16:07
  house.
• 16:09
  It's in the shape of a big W.
• 16:12
  It's a building that is a big W
• 16:15
  in Dublin, Ohio,
• 16:16
  just down the road from me.
• 16:27
  Yeah,
• 16:27
  Culver's sourdough melts are good too.
• 16:30
  But I do really enjoy the Butterburger.
• 16:41
  So a couple of the things I just
• 16:43
  wanted to talk about.
• 16:45
  I never knew Lydia Fish was a Bears
• 16:47
  fan.
• 16:49
  She is now my favorite female CrossFitter.
• 16:53
  if you're going to be a Bears fan
• 16:55
  and you're a great CrossFitter,
• 16:57
  you have now moved up my list.
• 17:00
  And what's really cool is this year at
• 17:01
  the Syndicate Crown,
• 17:04
  I got a Lydia Fish clapper from her
• 17:07
  mom.
• 17:12
  Lydia Fish clapper.
• 17:14
  And then at the games,
• 17:16
  I'm sitting there and her dad came up
• 17:19
  to me and gave me
• 17:23
  this towel for lydia fish fan club a
• 17:28
  nice beautiful orange towel just like the
• 17:31
  chicago bears just like the chicago bears
• 17:36
  look at that so cool so now i've
• 17:42
  got to find a place back there for
• 17:45
  my lydia fish towel uh so i can
• 17:49
  um display that with honor
• 17:56
  Um, Dex, my man,
• 17:59
  I almost called you to come on today.
• 18:03
  Uh,
• 18:03
  cause Corey was going to be out of
• 18:04
  town.
• 18:05
  Uh, she's a glutton for punishment.
• 18:06
  Scotty.
• 18:07
  Of course she lives the bears.
• 18:09
  Of course, man.
• 18:15
  Okay.
• 18:16
  Dad giving out terrible towels makes her
• 18:17
  my third favorite now.
• 18:21
  Uh,
• 18:23
  fish over ghee be honest fish over ghee
• 18:27
  as my favorite sure are we going to
• 18:31
  get into the ghee hate again because i
• 18:34
  so we announced earlier in the week that
• 18:37
  we're going to do the ddsp award of
• 18:39
  the week and one of the nominees this
• 18:42
  week is ghee haters
• 18:46
  And Vicky's not here to run the show
• 18:48
  for this.
• 18:48
  So we're probably going to have to wait
• 18:49
  till Monday to be able to put the
• 18:52
  nominees up and take the votes.
• 18:54
  But the fact that everybody just hates on
• 18:56
  Guy,
• 18:58
  the guy made one video asking for a
• 19:01
  bike and now everybody hates him for life.
• 19:05
  It just baffles my mind.
• 19:09
  The man is so fun to watch.
• 19:12
  If you love athleticism,
• 19:14
  he is fun to watch.
• 19:16
  Unless he's running a trail run,
• 19:18
  then he's not fun to watch.
• 19:20
  But everything else,
• 19:21
  the guy is such a good mover.
• 19:23
  He's such an athletic individual.
• 19:28
  He should be marketed by CrossFit because
• 19:32
  he's that guy that when you look at
• 19:34
  the screen, you go, holy shit.
• 19:42
  And you don't have to be a fan,
• 19:45
  but you have to respect what that guy
• 19:48
  can do.
• 19:51
  And we create this narrative around him
• 19:54
  that is just crazy town banana pants.
• 20:01
  Yeah, Mark Phillips, that makes a whole,
• 20:03
  never understood why he's so polarizing.
• 20:05
  I think he's fine.
• 20:07
  You don't have to be his fan.
• 20:10
  You just have to respect.
• 20:12
  He is the most athletic CrossFitter in the
• 20:15
  games.
• 20:18
  End of story.
• 20:20
  Watch the end of that sprint.
• 20:22
  He looks like he could run in the
• 20:24
  Olympics.
• 20:25
  Watch him lift weights.
• 20:27
  He looks like he could be an Olympic
• 20:29
  lifter at the games.
• 20:30
  Watch him do gymnastics.
• 20:33
  He looks phenomenal.
• 20:41
  People who ate ghee drink almond milk.
• 20:50
  George Wang,
• 20:51
  ghee led a tier workout in Madison in
• 20:54
  twenty twenty three and he was the nicest
• 20:56
  guy so down to earth.
• 21:00
  Avera, you're nuts.
• 21:03
  You're nuts.
• 21:05
  Ricky is not more athletic than ghee.
• 21:19
  Yes, Ed, you pushed a button.
• 21:35
  And the more that people hate Guy,
• 21:38
  the more I want to support him.
• 21:41
  That is my mentality.
• 21:50
  Ricky is fitter, not more athletic.
• 21:51
  I'll give you that, Dex.
• 21:53
  Ricky is by far fitter.
• 21:55
  He has higher finishes at the games.
• 21:57
  He has a better track record than Guy.
• 21:59
  But when it comes to pure athleticism,
• 22:02
  nobody matches Guy.
• 22:16
  Thank you, Tessa.
• 22:17
  Why do we hate Gigan?
• 22:18
  I have no idea.
• 22:21
  The guy has two or three top ten
• 22:23
  finishes at the games.
• 22:25
  He's the most athletic and beautiful mover
• 22:27
  that we have at the games,
• 22:29
  and he could be an asset to CrossFit.
• 22:33
  But we created a narrative now,
• 22:35
  and everybody's supposed to hate him,
• 22:39
  so we're all going to hate him.
• 22:43
  Yes, he appears to be a fun-loving dude.
• 22:48
  I think he lost some of that fun-loving
• 22:49
  piece of it,
• 22:50
  and he talked about it in Dave's interview
• 22:52
  with him,
• 22:54
  and he had to find that fun thing
• 22:55
  again.
• 22:56
  And when I watched him at the games
• 22:57
  this year, he was fun to watch,
• 22:59
  and he was having fun.
• 23:01
  The dance moves, the celebrations.
• 23:04
  The dude is freaking awesome.
• 23:07
  Will he ever win the games?
• 23:09
  No.
• 23:11
  But that's okay.
• 23:13
  There's only one winner.
• 23:22
  Being faster in the sprint of air does
• 23:24
  not mean you're more athletic.
• 23:35
  Yes, Grant.
• 23:36
  And he also gets us all those crazy
• 23:38
  Brazil fans, pro Guy.
• 23:41
  Every time Guy's on the screen,
• 23:42
  the green lizards fill the comments.
• 23:54
  I would have killed to be able to
• 23:55
  kick people's ass so hard that I can
• 23:58
  dance before I hit the buzzer.
• 24:01
  Dex, let's be honest here.
• 24:05
  Let's have some real talk.
• 24:07
  You dance before you even achieve anything
• 24:10
  in the workout.
• 24:13
  You dance between sets.
• 24:16
  I've seen it.
• 24:17
  I've documented it with my own camera.
• 24:22
  Yeah,
• 24:23
  it didn't matter if you kick people's ass
• 24:24
  or not.
• 24:24
  You're still going to dance.
• 24:39
  It's my Tourette's got a condition.
• 24:41
  There you go.
• 24:43
  This is it, Daniel.
• 24:44
  When you see Guy,
• 24:45
  you see NFL running back or skill
• 24:47
  position.
• 24:49
  You do.
• 24:50
  Because he's athletic.
• 24:54
  Dex is right.
• 24:55
  He's not the fittest,
• 24:56
  but he's the most athletic.
• 25:05
  I do want to talk about this real
• 25:06
  quick because I think there's been some
• 25:08
  misconceptions about this article.
• 25:11
  And I wanted to point this out real
• 25:13
  quick.
• 25:13
  Yesterday,
• 25:14
  the barbell spin posted this CrossFit
• 25:16
  reveals the prize purse and payouts for
• 25:18
  master's divisions.
• 25:22
  I was talking about this with Carolyn
• 25:23
  yesterday before this was released because
• 25:27
  she got the email from CrossFit with the
• 25:29
  breakdown.
• 25:31
  And so here is the,
• 25:32
  this is actually like clipped from the
• 25:34
  email.
• 25:35
  These are the prize purse breakdowns
• 25:37
  throughout the divisions.
• 25:39
  And the comments are missing the point of
• 25:45
  what Spin was trying to say.
• 25:48
  And not that the comments aren't valid
• 25:50
  about the breakdown of how it's done,
• 25:53
  why thirty five to thirty nine get more
• 25:55
  money,
• 25:56
  why they only the overall purse is only
• 25:59
  this.
• 26:00
  So be it.
• 26:01
  The big story here is.
• 26:04
  CrossFit used two hundred and forty two
• 26:06
  thousand is the number of people in the
• 26:08
  open to come up with this breakdown the
• 26:11
  rule book very specifically says that
• 26:14
  fifty percent of all open revenue goes to
• 26:18
  the prize purse of that ten percent of
• 26:21
  it goes to the Masters however they
• 26:27
  They reported prior to all of this in
• 26:32
  week one of the open that they had
• 26:34
  two hundred and fifty four thousand people
• 26:37
  sign up for the open.
• 26:40
  So where did the twelve thousand people go
• 26:42
  and their twenty dollars?
• 26:44
  Where did all of that go?
• 26:52
  It had it had to go somewhere.
• 26:57
  And the more that people are diving into
• 26:58
  this,
• 26:59
  the more I'm hearing the numbers are
• 27:02
  fluctuating as to how much it is.
• 27:06
  Because there's a number when the open
• 27:09
  starts.
• 27:10
  There's a number when the open finishes.
• 27:12
  Which number are they supposed to take?
• 27:14
  None of that is spelled out.
• 27:16
  But none of them are lower than two
• 27:18
  hundred and fifty four thousand dollars.
• 27:20
  Two hundred and fifty four thousand.
• 27:23
  So why is this based on two hundred
• 27:25
  and forty two thousand?
• 27:35
  So Spin is saying the team prize money
• 27:36
  calculated over two hundred and fifty K.
• 27:40
  But and and yeah, this is the Masters,
• 27:42
  but the elite individuals also are
• 27:45
  undercut from the percentages based on the
• 27:48
  open numbers as well.
• 27:51
  So teams got more than they were supposed
• 27:53
  to.
• 27:54
  Individuals and Masters got less than they
• 27:56
  were supposed to.
• 27:59
  But I don't think they equate out to
• 28:02
  equal.
• 28:02
  I'd have to do the math on all
• 28:04
  that.
• 28:09
  Joseph says,
• 28:10
  someone had to pay the cops on Barack
• 28:11
  Obama Drive.
• 28:12
  Here's the deal.
• 28:14
  And I think that it's actually more
• 28:16
  serious than people are letting on.
• 28:21
  It's more serious because there is an
• 28:23
  allotment of money that is supposed to be
• 28:25
  set aside for the prize purse of the
• 28:27
  CrossFit Games.
• 28:29
  And at the current moment,
• 28:30
  it appears that there's missing money.
• 28:38
  Where did that money go?
• 28:41
  Where did it disappear to?
• 28:44
  And there's no explanation with any of
• 28:46
  this.
• 28:49
  None.
• 28:52
  So who's doing what with what money?
• 29:00
  Kipping says it's the fake submissions to
• 29:02
  the open.
• 29:03
  They still had to pay twenty dollars to
• 29:04
  get it up to get in.
• 29:07
  To even have a fake account.
• 29:09
  The money is still there.
• 29:20
  CrossFit collected that money from the
• 29:22
  open.
• 29:24
  whether those people are real or fake,
• 29:27
  they got,
• 29:27
  they got twenty dollars for each one of
• 29:29
  those names.
• 29:34
  And twelve thousand of those names paid
• 29:36
  twenty dollars and that money disappeared.
• 29:47
  Now,
• 29:48
  is it coincidence that they're now hiring
• 29:49
  a new CFO?
• 29:58
  It's something we got to ask, right?
• 30:04
  But you would think CrossFit knows this
• 30:10
  community is going to double check
• 30:12
  everything.
• 30:13
  And if you're one of the people who
• 30:14
  won that prize money and it's less than
• 30:17
  you thought it was going to be,
• 30:18
  you think those people aren't going to
• 30:20
  question why it's lower?
• 30:23
  Yet there's been no answer given to any
• 30:26
  of the athletes or
• 30:28
  or the community as to why it's lower
• 30:30
  than they said it would be?
• 30:42
  That's tater tot money.
• 30:55
  Grant says, here's the crazy thing.
• 30:56
  The WFP probably would have made a
• 30:58
  statement.
• 31:00
  You're probably right.
• 31:04
  You are probably right.
• 31:07
  The one thing that the WFP has been
• 31:09
  very good about is communication.
• 31:11
  except for I've applied for media
• 31:13
  credentials for Indianapolis and have not
• 31:15
  heard.
• 31:16
  I've applied twice, haven't heard.
• 31:19
  Just saying,
• 31:20
  trying to go support Carolyn in
• 31:22
  Indianapolis and can't even get an answer.
• 31:26
  Other than that, though, I digress.
• 31:37
  They may change the rule book,
• 31:38
  but they would have said something.
• 31:45
  Yeah.
• 31:46
  They may have retroactively changed drug
• 31:48
  policies and the rule book,
• 31:50
  but they did make a statement about it.
• 32:08
  Yeah.
• 32:10
  I tell you what,
• 32:10
  I spend a weekend at Monster Games and
• 32:13
  Jason Ainsley does a hell of a job
• 32:15
  and works his whole ass off.
• 32:18
  I have mucho respect for Jason Ainsley.
• 32:22
  I think making him the president of the
• 32:25
  WFP was the best move they could have
• 32:27
  made.
• 32:38
  I kind of agree with Grant on this.
• 32:39
  I actually prefer that to silence.
• 32:42
  Silence is insulting.
• 32:54
  Masters athletes are not competing for the
• 32:56
  money,
• 32:56
  so I'm not sure why we're making such
• 32:57
  a big deal about this.
• 32:58
  What am I missing?
• 33:00
  What you're missing is missing money.
• 33:03
  The elite individual's prize purse was
• 33:06
  less than the percentage.
• 33:09
  The rule book states that who gets how
• 33:11
  much percentage of the prize purse of
• 33:13
  error.
• 33:15
  It is based on the number of open
• 33:16
  participants and the twenty dollars that
• 33:19
  each and every one of us spend to
• 33:22
  enter the open.
• 33:24
  It's not hard math to figure out what
• 33:26
  the breakdown would be.
• 33:28
  The breakdown is less because they based
• 33:30
  it on a number that is twelve thousand
• 33:33
  less than the number that actually signed
• 33:36
  up for the open.
• 33:40
  With no explanation,
• 33:42
  the prize purse dropped.
• 33:44
  So there is missing money.
• 33:47
  If this was any other corporation or
• 33:49
  company,
• 33:51
  This would be a huge deal.
• 33:53
  It would be on the six o'clock news,
• 33:55
  which it kind of is because spin is
• 33:57
  the six o'clock news of CrossFit.
• 34:01
  And here it is.
• 34:02
  But everybody got wrapped up in how it
• 34:06
  was divided up and not that there's
• 34:08
  missing money.
• 34:10
  Nobody read the caption.
• 34:19
  There is missing money is the big deal.
• 34:23
  Whether it's masters or individual or
• 34:26
  whoever,
• 34:27
  the fact of the matter is here is
• 34:29
  a company that said that there is this
• 34:31
  pot of money and that pot got smaller
• 34:34
  and we don't know why.
• 34:46
  That's the big deal.
• 34:56
  Take Masters out of it.
• 35:00
  It is the pot of money that was
• 35:01
  supposed to be set aside per the rule
• 35:04
  book for the prize money,
• 35:06
  and it is less than it was supposed
• 35:07
  to be.
• 35:22
  The government loses money all the time.
• 35:24
  Billion here, a few billion there.
• 35:26
  We're used to it.
• 35:27
  Well,
• 35:27
  that's because the government can print
• 35:29
  its own.
• 35:40
  Daniel,
• 35:40
  you're saying the money is nothing to
• 35:42
  write home about.
• 35:43
  It's not about the masters.
• 35:44
  You're missing the point.
• 35:47
  The elite individuals,
• 35:49
  we're talking like hundreds of thousands
• 35:51
  of dollars.
• 35:52
  And when you're taking away a chunk of
• 35:54
  that, it's much bigger than the masters.
• 36:14
  If you're a...
• 36:17
  and money has come missing from your
• 36:22
  coffers,
• 36:24
  you are going to move heaven and earth
• 36:27
  to find out what the hell happened.
• 36:37
  I'm sorry, Daniel.
• 36:38
  I meant Avera.
• 36:45
  I think we found it.
• 36:46
  Meg has it.
• 36:47
  Meg went on vacation.
• 36:48
  That's how she paid for a trip to
• 36:50
  the games.
• 37:04
  Ed says, Meg isn't cheap, so that tracks.
• 37:07
  There you go.
• 37:12
  I just wanted to pull that up and
• 37:14
  explain because the comments are all over
• 37:16
  the other stuff.
• 37:17
  And that's not the big story here.
• 37:20
  The big story is the missing money.
• 37:22
  Who has it?
• 37:23
  Where'd it go?
• 37:25
  And why is there no explanation to it?
• 37:38
  Jody says,
• 37:39
  so what was the prize for Carolyn?
• 37:41
  Carolyn won, according to this chart,
• 37:44
  twenty thousand six hundred and forty
• 37:46
  dollars and seventy one cents.
• 38:02
  And again,
• 38:02
  I don't disagree with Avera that Masters
• 38:04
  athletes don't do this for the money.
• 38:11
  They do it for the love of the
• 38:12
  game.
• 38:12
  They have to because there isn't a lot
• 38:14
  of money in it.
• 38:15
  There isn't a lot of perks anymore.
• 38:18
  And so they're not doing it for the
• 38:22
  love of the money.
• 38:23
  And that's not the point.
• 38:24
  The point is there's missing money.
• 38:33
  Avera, it is CrossFit's money,
• 38:35
  but they spell out in their rule book
• 38:38
  and you as an athlete going into these
• 38:41
  games knew that you could have wrote down
• 38:45
  what your prize money would be if you
• 38:48
  took whatever place because it is spelled
• 38:50
  out who gets how much of that pot.
• 38:53
  To change that equation in any way without
• 38:57
  telling anybody until the check is written
• 39:01
  is wrong.
• 39:26
  So it's a new back of the napkin
• 39:28
  math.
• 39:28
  It sure is.
• 39:34
  And spin also brings this point up,
• 39:36
  which we talked about yesterday a little
• 39:37
  bit.
• 39:37
  CrossFit was also supposed to announce the
• 39:39
  prize purse and payouts before the
• 39:41
  competition began, which they did not do.
• 39:46
  And that is also in the rule book,
• 39:49
  which is a public document stating what is
• 39:52
  going to happen.
• 40:04
  So I'm going to leave on this.
• 40:10
  Yesterday we talked about Rich Froning
• 40:12
  said on his podcast that he would prefer
• 40:14
  a championship ring as to a medal.
• 40:17
  And I clipped that, put it on Instagram.
• 40:19
  What engagement?
• 40:21
  The engagement that that got about,
• 40:23
  do you want a medal or a ring?
• 40:25
  Got a lot of attention.
• 40:28
  I was surprised that,
• 40:31
  was surprised how much attention it got
• 40:32
  because i put stuff out and a lot
• 40:34
  of times it just sits there but this
• 40:37
  one got a lot and a lot of
• 40:39
  people are saying if it's a team sport
• 40:40
  the ring makes sense and it's a
• 40:43
  championship because this is more of like
• 40:46
  an olympic style thing where three people
• 40:49
  get a medal that the medal makes more
• 40:52
  sense um but it was really cool to
• 40:56
  see the comments
• 40:58
  mean bill grundler wrote like a novel as
• 41:01
  to why it should be a metal and
• 41:02
  not a ring um but yeah it's it
• 41:08
  was there were some very very interesting
• 41:10
  takes um and i think that was just
• 41:15
  a personal preference for rich but i can't
• 41:19
  see him wearing a championship ring either
• 41:21
  um he talked about that he doesn't really
• 41:23
  do anything with the metals um
• 41:26
  that he's not a big fan of medals
• 41:28
  he liked the idea of the ring but
• 41:30
  i can't see rich walking around with ten
• 41:33
  championship rings from all of his wins
• 41:35
  either so but it was it was a
• 41:39
  fun comment that he made and got a
• 41:42
  lot of uh
• 41:45
  Got a lot of feedback.
• 41:47
  So thank you all for that.
• 41:50
  Joseph actually said, screw the ring,
• 41:54
  screw the metal, make me a crown.
• 41:58
  And I think, I think the Mac,
• 42:04
  they may have done a crown.
• 42:06
  They definitely did a sword.
• 42:09
  The winner of the Mac gets a sword,
• 42:12
  which is really freaking cool.
• 42:16
  I think the sword may be cooler than
• 42:18
  the ring or the metal.
• 42:21
  I talked to Hannah black cause she won
• 42:23
  one year and got the sword and she
• 42:26
  has it hanging on her wall.
• 42:27
  Like just loves it.
• 42:29
  It's a conversation piece.
• 42:31
  She pulls it down occasionally.
• 42:34
  She kind of looks like Xena warrior
• 42:36
  princess.
• 42:38
  So it fits.
• 42:45
  Mark Phillips sword hammer mace.
• 42:46
  I'll take some medieval weaponry too.
• 42:51
  Yeah.
• 43:01
  Rich wanted to take the Jordan picture
• 43:02
  with the rings on.
• 43:04
  Yeah, but he'd have more than Jordan.
• 43:15
  Hannah Black would make a good She-Ra with
• 43:17
  that sword.
• 43:17
  She would.
• 43:19
  Xena, She-Ra.
• 43:31
  Anna Shoup.
• 43:33
  Rich actually said at one point that his
• 43:35
  favorite award was the sword.
• 43:36
  Yeah,
• 43:36
  because I think the team got a sword
• 43:38
  too for winning.
• 43:40
  So they got a sword.
• 43:41
  But I think they all had to share
• 43:43
  one.
• 43:48
  Joseph, you know the CrossFit rules.
• 43:51
  Teams only count if it's rich.
• 43:56
  If it's rich,
• 43:56
  we get to count the teams.
• 43:57
  If it's anybody else, we don't.
• 44:08
  Hannah on American Gladiators would go
• 44:10
  crazy.
• 44:14
  I was so disappointed with Gladiators this
• 44:16
  season.
• 44:18
  I watched the whole thing and then watched
• 44:19
  the stupid disqualifications to get rid of
• 44:21
  all the CrossFitters.
• 44:24
  And I just was, I was tainted.
• 44:33
  Danny by far was the most athletic
• 44:36
  gladiator and the best gladiator.
• 44:39
  No question about it.
• 44:41
  It really,
• 44:42
  it was really an illustration of that
• 44:44
  CrossFit is the methodology.
• 44:58
  Yeah,
• 44:58
  she was doing less cocaine and steroids.
• 45:05
  There you go.
• 45:09
  Last thing is, guys, football's back.
• 45:12
  Got to watch.
• 45:13
  I had it on my second TV last
• 45:14
  night.
• 45:15
  Got to see real football, real scoring,
• 45:17
  real touchdowns.
• 45:18
  Actually,
• 45:20
  I usually am not entertained by the Hall
• 45:22
  of Fame game,
• 45:22
  and it was pretty fun to
• 45:27
  It was a pretty fun game to watch.
• 45:32
  So, yeah, it's back.
• 45:34
  Next week, full slate of preseason games.
• 45:38
  Can't wait for that.
• 45:42
  Meg says, go Pack, go.
• 45:46
  Meg, come on.
• 45:50
  We've got to figure this out.
• 45:52
  I am going to Lambeau Field for the
• 45:54
  Bears-Packers game.
• 45:56
  in october cannot wait for that um that
• 46:02
  is definitely on my bucket list to see
• 46:04
  lambo one and to watch the bears beat
• 46:07
  the packers too uh carson beck carving
• 46:13
  practice squad players was nice uh they
• 46:17
  today on get up they were talking about
• 46:19
  like maybe he is a legit starter uh
• 46:21
  for the cardinals at the beginning of the
• 46:23
  season just to see what they have
• 46:28
  What?
• 46:29
  He was a seven-year starter in college
• 46:31
  because of the COVID year and all that
• 46:32
  stuff.
• 46:34
  He looked good last night, man.
• 46:44
  Bears winning isn't going to happen,
• 46:45
  but that's a nice try.
• 46:48
  It happened two out of three times last
• 46:49
  year, Meg, and in the playoffs,
• 46:51
  I might add.
• 46:53
  The biggest problem I'm having with the
• 46:55
  Bears this year is actually having
• 46:56
  expectations.
• 46:59
  Last year,
• 47:01
  I had no expectations and they killed it.
• 47:07
  Great finishes.
• 47:08
  Caleb Williams being the man.
• 47:11
  So much fun to watch.
• 47:12
  Now this year,
• 47:13
  my expectations are like way up here.
• 47:17
  And I just...
• 47:19
  I am fearful that they're not...
• 47:22
  Everything that's coming out of camp is
• 47:24
  great stuff.
• 47:25
  And I...
• 47:27
  Do I totally believe the hype?
• 47:31
  Do I really get on board?
• 47:32
  I mean,
• 47:33
  I'm going to watch every game regardless.
• 47:37
  But man, my expectations are so high.
• 47:40
  I hope they don't.
• 47:42
  I hope they don't pull the rug out
• 47:43
  from under me.
• 47:46
  And one hundred percent, Caleb is a dog.
• 47:49
  I don't know if you guys saw the
• 47:50
  video this year.
• 47:52
  So to simulate a pass rush for the
• 47:53
  quarterbacks in training camp,
• 47:55
  they roll Bosa balls.
• 47:58
  At the quarterback to like hit him in
• 48:00
  the legs and the feet.
• 48:03
  Caleb jumped over the Bosa ball.
• 48:08
  As part of this one scramble.
• 48:11
  It was.
• 48:12
  I mean, talk about athletic.
• 48:18
  Insanity.
• 48:26
  Meg, Jets are going to take it all.
• 48:28
  Yeah,
• 48:29
  I don't think the Jets are ever going
• 48:30
  to take it all, Ed.
• 48:35
  Now you know how Lions fans feel.
• 48:37
  Yeah,
• 48:38
  when you've sucked for so long and your
• 48:40
  team is actually good,
• 48:42
  can you really trust it?
• 48:43
  Can you really believe in them?
• 48:46
  That's where I'm at.
• 48:49
  And the Lions fans have had like three
• 48:51
  really good years now in a row.
• 48:54
  I mean,
• 48:54
  last year was a little bit of a
• 48:56
  disappointment,
• 48:56
  but still pretty good season for the
• 49:00
  Lions.
• 49:03
  That division is going to be ferocious.
• 49:08
  That scares me so much.
• 49:13
  I saw Daniel ask when the sports show
• 49:16
  will be.
• 49:16
  Tuesday at six p.m.
• 49:18
  Eastern time.

  No CrossFit allowed.
• 49:31
  It's just going to be sports.
• 49:33
  Just a kind of way to decompress from
• 49:35
  the CrossFit talk, get away from it all.

  Now it's a challenge.

  Now it's a challenge.
