  What is going on, everybody?
• 0:27
  Welcome to Sunday, Sunday,
• 0:33
  Sunday Night CrossFit Talk on a Monday.
• 0:39
  Yeah.
• 0:40
  We, uh,
• 0:40
  we delayed one night because of tear cup,
• 0:42
  what a Palooza, uh,
• 0:44
  going on at the exact same time as
• 0:45
  our show last night.
• 0:47
  So we decide to, to pause until tonight.
• 0:51
  Um,
• 0:51
  and you notice we have the empty space
• 0:53
  here.
• 0:53
  We were having some audio issues with
• 0:55
  Carolyn and, uh, she still can't hear us.
• 1:00
  We can hear her.
• 1:01
  She can't hear us.
• 1:04
  Um,
• 1:05
  I'll pull her in just to make sure.
• 1:08
  Okay,
• 1:08
  so she's going to go on her phone.
• 1:10
  So we will take her out again,
• 1:13
  and she'll come in another way.
• 1:17
  All right.
• 1:19
  So anyway, yeah, it's always something,
• 1:22
  isn't it?
• 1:23
  Yeah, it's always something.
• 1:24
  Always something.
• 1:26
  Make sure you like and subscribe to the
• 1:27
  channel.
• 1:29
  You guys have been awesome.
• 1:31
  The growth of the channel has been
• 1:32
  amazing, and we love you all,
• 1:34
  and thank you so much for doing that.
• 1:36
  We have a jam-packed show tonight,
• 1:39
  but we haven't been on for two weeks
• 1:40
  because I was traveling,
• 1:42
  and Jamie had surgery,
• 1:44
  and we wanted to get an update from
• 1:46
  Jamie on how the surgery went.
• 1:51
  I think it went good.
• 1:53
  I was completely out of it.
• 1:54
  So Aaron talked to the surgeon afterwards.
• 1:57
  I have some pictures,
• 1:58
  which mean a whole lot of nothing to
• 2:00
  me.
• 2:02
  But he said it went good from my
• 2:04
  understanding.
• 2:05
  I meet with him in two weeks.
• 2:07
  So that's when I'll know if I can
• 2:09
  get off crutches.
• 2:10
  So I'm fifty percent weight bearing right
• 2:12
  now.
• 2:12
  So as long as I'm using my crutches,
• 2:15
  it keeps like all the weight from going
• 2:17
  to one side.
• 2:20
  I feel good.
• 2:21
  It's I'm getting occasionally I get a
• 2:24
  little pulling at the front of my hip
• 2:26
  flexor.
• 2:28
  And I still have a little bit of
• 2:29
  back tightness, but it's hard.
• 2:31
  I'm sitting around laying on the couch so
• 2:35
  much of the day that it's like,
• 2:37
  if I was moving around more,
• 2:39
  would my back like that be so tight?
• 2:41
  I don't know.
• 2:42
  So, and that's ultimately like the,
• 2:44
  the back pain was like my biggest issue
• 2:46
  that I wanted resolved with this.
• 2:48
  I mean, I know it's hip surgery,
• 2:49
  but I feel like my back pain was
• 2:51
  coming from the hip.
• 2:52
  So it's like, not sure yet.
• 2:55
  Like, I just don't know.
• 2:56
  I think it's going to be a long
• 2:57
  time until I know if it was,
• 2:59
  if it worked and I pretty sure I'm
• 3:00
  going to need the left side done.
• 3:01
  So even if there's some relief,
• 3:04
  I feel like it won't be complete relief
• 3:06
  until I get the left side done.
• 3:08
  So it is what it is, but yeah,
• 3:09
  just hobbling around on crutches.
• 3:11
  I have
• 3:13
  an incredible gym family that's like
• 3:15
  stepped up and made me lunches and dinners
• 3:18
  and um juvie sent me a care package
• 3:22
  in the mail it's just it's really nice
• 3:25
  it feels like we have a lot of
• 3:27
  people reach out to me yeah it is
• 3:31
  awesome um i saw you get on a
• 3:35
  bike yep and every day yeah the and
• 3:38
  the bike is okay for the movement of
• 3:40
  the hip
• 3:41
  Yeah,
• 3:41
  apparently that's what they want you to
• 3:42
  do,
• 3:42
  probably to get some motion in there and
• 3:44
  blood flow.
• 3:47
  It said as soon as like the next
• 3:49
  day I could bike.
• 3:51
  I didn't know that.
• 3:52
  So Friday was surgery,
• 3:53
  so I could have started biking on
• 3:54
  Saturday.
• 3:56
  I had PT on like evaluation on Monday.
• 3:59
  He printed off all the stuff from the
• 4:00
  surgeon and he's like, oh,
• 4:01
  apparently you could have been biking.
• 4:03
  I was like, oh.
• 4:04
  So I went,
• 4:05
  I basically have been biking since Monday
• 4:07
  of last week.
• 4:10
  And does that help at all?
• 4:11
  Do you notice it, like,
• 4:13
  just movement-wise?
• 4:15
  I don't know.
• 4:15
  I mean, it doesn't... No,
• 4:18
  I don't notice anything really particular.
• 4:21
  It feels fine when I'm biking.
• 4:23
  I'm just on the C-tube bike on a
• 4:25
  damper all the way down.
• 4:26
  I'm not supposed to have any resistance.
• 4:27
  So, like I said, I think it's just,
• 4:29
  like, the motion, just getting, like,
• 4:31
  motion in that joint.
• 4:32
  Is it your driving foot?
• 4:34
  It is my driving foot.
• 4:35
  Ugh.
• 4:35
  So I...
• 4:38
  Again,
• 4:38
  I don't know that I'm assuming I can't
• 4:40
  do that until I at least get cleared
• 4:42
  off my crutches,
• 4:45
  which sucks as I'm at the whim of
• 4:48
  my husband or my son or my mom
• 4:50
  to get me to the gym to be
• 4:52
  able to ride.
• 4:53
  That's where my bike is.
• 4:54
  I guess I could bring the bike home,
• 4:55
  but it helps to get in there just
• 4:57
  to get out of the house.
• 4:59
  So I like having that there.
• 5:03
  Kenneth DeLapp,
• 5:04
  member for sixteen months of the channel.
• 5:07
  Look at the, like, OG OG.
• 5:10
  Mondays get him jazzed.
• 5:12
  Denise Moore asks,
• 5:13
  how long was the surgery?
• 5:15
  I think it was like, I don't know,
• 5:18
  two...
• 5:19
  Do you know how long the surgery was
• 5:21
  on?
• 5:22
  Two hours?
• 5:23
  Or was it more?
• 5:25
  Just under two.
• 5:25
  Wow.
• 5:28
  They're so good at that now, like...
• 5:31
  I know when Julie had her knees,
• 5:32
  it was an hour and a half to
• 5:33
  replace the whole knee.
• 5:35
  Yeah, that's insane.
• 5:40
  Yeah, Denise, no pain meds in driving.
• 5:42
  I haven't taken the pain meds since
• 5:45
  Saturday, maybe Sunday,
• 5:47
  Saturday or Sunday.
• 5:48
  So there's basically an anti-inflammatory
• 5:52
  pill that they have me taking and a
• 5:54
  baby aspirin for blood clots.
• 5:57
  So I take that every day.
• 5:58
  That's it.
• 6:03
  Anything new with you, Carolyn,
• 6:04
  over the last two weeks?
• 6:06
  I'm trying to think.
• 6:08
  I competed six times.
• 6:10
  No, just kidding.
• 6:11
  I did do the Service Cup this week.
• 6:14
  Well, that one ended tonight at eight.
• 6:19
  Okay.
• 6:21
  What else did I do?
• 6:22
  I mean, just busy,
• 6:23
  just getting back to school.
• 6:26
  Did a lot of correcting this weekend and
• 6:29
  today.
• 6:30
  Math tests.
• 6:32
  So yeah,
• 6:33
  back into the reality world of being a
• 6:36
  teacher.
• 6:37
  Yeah, so mostly just correcting.
• 6:40
  CrossFit-wise, regular training.
• 6:42
  I mean,
• 6:43
  I continued training after the games
• 6:46
  anyways.
• 6:46
  I took, I think,
• 6:48
  two or three days off and then
• 6:50
  continue my regular schedule for that.
• 6:54
  So yeah.
• 6:56
  um i i everybody knows i was in
• 6:59
  montana uh i the updates from that i'll
• 7:01
  do on my lunch show but the one
• 7:03
  funny thing i wanted to go edit this
• 7:05
  week while i was off because corey
• 7:07
  couldn't take time off work so we got
• 7:09
  an airbnb where i could do some editing
• 7:11
  to get the second part of hattie done
• 7:14
  and some more from the age group games
• 7:16
  out and we got there and had the
• 7:19
  internet was literally like aol
• 7:25
  and i could not get anything done we
• 7:28
  couldn't even we couldn't even stream a tv
• 7:30
  show and now i'm on the dilemma where
• 7:35
  the airbnb owner wants me to give a
• 7:37
  review and they've already given me a five
• 7:39
  star and they're like would you give us
• 7:41
  a five star and it was a great
• 7:44
  place everything was great except for that
• 7:46
  one fact but man it was a big
• 7:49
  deterrent
• 7:51
  probably should leave that because like if
• 7:52
  anyone goes with any type of work
• 7:56
  requirements they should know what the
• 7:59
  internet's like and it was like a shared
• 8:01
  internet and um because every time we'd
• 8:04
  like i'd try to do like an like
• 8:06
  an airplay to the tv like the list
• 8:10
  of options were things that were not in
• 8:12
  our house
• 8:13
  Yeah.
• 8:14
  I would almost just leave it,
• 8:15
  like leave like a four,
• 8:16
  four and a half and just be like,
• 8:17
  wonderful place.
• 8:19
  Just know if you need internet,
• 8:20
  I'd bring a star link,
• 8:22
  something reliable for yourself.
• 8:23
  I would just write that in there.
• 8:26
  And,
• 8:26
  and the cell service in Montana is not
• 8:28
  what I'm used to.
• 8:31
  Um,
• 8:32
  so that is a backup was not good.
• 8:35
  Just doing like the daily lunch show.
• 8:38
  I had to use my hotspot on my
• 8:39
  phone and, um,
• 8:41
  and it still was not great.
• 8:44
  Yeah,
• 8:47
  I caught some of those and I noticed
• 8:50
  it was very glitchy.
• 8:51
  Yeah.
• 8:51
  So, yeah.
• 8:51
  So that's our week,
• 8:52
  our weeks from the last couple.
• 8:54
  A lot has gone on since then.
• 8:57
  And the first thing I want to get
• 8:58
  into tonight is the new CrossFit season
• 9:00
  was announced.
• 9:02
  And there's a lot of detail to this.
• 9:06
  Some of it is very familiar,
• 9:08
  just not to the past season.
• 9:11
  And so what I'll do is I'll go
• 9:13
  through,
• 9:13
  I'm going to pull up the timeline that
• 9:15
  they put out and then we'll go through
• 9:18
  the elites and then we'll go through the
• 9:20
  age group.
• 9:23
  so here is just the basic timeline that
• 9:27
  was a part of the release and essentially
• 9:31
  it starts in twenty six with the the
• 9:33
  crossfit open that's the end of february
• 9:36
  into march just like this year then they
• 9:41
  have brought back quarterfinals uh which
• 9:44
  is going to be the next segment that's
• 9:45
  top twenty five percent
• 9:48
  Dave said, and as we can review today,
• 9:49
  that a lot of affiliates and athletes said
• 9:53
  that they missed the quarterfinals,
• 9:55
  so they decided to bring it back.
• 9:58
  From that point,
• 9:59
  the top two thousand after quarterfinals
• 10:02
  qualify for semis,
• 10:05
  and it can be done either in person
• 10:07
  or online, just like it was this year.
• 10:10
  They are going to continue to use third
• 10:12
  party technology.
• 10:15
  to do the in-person semifinal events.
• 10:19
  We don't know who they are.
• 10:21
  We don't know how many people they would
• 10:23
  qualify.
• 10:24
  But we do know that it's going to
• 10:25
  be very similar to what it was this
• 10:27
  year.
• 10:28
  And then whatever number is left,
• 10:30
  just like everybody wanted,
• 10:32
  the online semifinal will be last.
• 10:36
  Whatever is left will go there,
• 10:38
  and that will be like a big last
• 10:41
  chance qualifier with whatever number is
• 10:43
  not taken up by the in-person semifinals.
• 10:47
  And we don't know what those numbers are
• 10:48
  yet.
• 10:53
  Then we go from the semifinals to the
• 10:56
  games,
• 10:57
  and the games are going to be in
• 10:58
  late July this year instead of August.
• 11:05
  So...
• 11:07
  That is the season for the elites and
• 11:11
  if you're doing the open.
• 11:16
  If you're doing the age groups,
• 11:19
  the first couple parts are the exact same.
• 11:22
  The open and the quarterfinals occur on
• 11:25
  the same timeframes.
• 11:29
  Then the semifinals are going to be,
• 11:33
  for the first time ever,
• 11:34
  there will be a few limited options to
• 11:37
  do an in-person semifinal in the age group
• 11:40
  division.
• 11:43
  And then,
• 11:44
  which is the first time that has ever
• 11:46
  happened in the masters or teen division.
• 11:49
  Mm-hmm.
• 11:51
  Then with whatever is left,
• 11:54
  they will have an online semifinal as
• 11:56
  well.
• 11:57
  They will compete for that.
• 11:59
  And then they have cut the number of
• 12:03
  people in some of the age groups going
• 12:06
  to the games.
• 12:07
  I think it's from.
• 12:09
  Here it is.
• 12:14
  I think it's from fifty four, fifty five.
• 12:18
  Maybe forty-five to forty-nine up.
• 12:21
  They've made cuts to the amount.
• 12:24
  Okay.
• 12:27
  Um, fourteen, fourteen to fifteen,
• 12:28
  sixteen, seventeen year,
• 12:29
  about twenty-twenty.
• 12:31
  Thirty-five to thirty-nine and forty to
• 12:34
  forty-four or thirty-thirty just like it
• 12:36
  was last year.
• 12:38
  Then forty-five to forty-nine to fifty to
• 12:41
  fifty-four is down to twenty-twenty.
• 12:44
  Okay.
• 12:46
  Fifty five to fifty nine to sixty nine
• 12:50
  is down to fifteen fifteen from twenty
• 12:53
  twenty.
• 12:53
  OK.
• 12:55
  And then seventy plus is ten ten.
• 13:00
  So I know a lot of people are
• 13:02
  upset that these cuts were made.
• 13:05
  I have heard a lot of people in
• 13:06
  the comments as well as on Instagram
• 13:11
  coming and wondering why they made the
• 13:14
  cuts because it does appear the way the
• 13:16
  timeline is set up.
• 13:19
  They don't have a location yet for the
• 13:21
  age group games,
• 13:22
  but it does appear that they're going to
• 13:23
  happen at a different time than the elite
• 13:27
  CrossFit games.
• 13:31
  Does it say that the age group is
• 13:32
  in August somewhere?
• 13:35
  It does somewhere.
• 13:37
  Let me see.
• 13:46
  I feel like all I saw was that...
• 13:50
  I mean,
• 13:50
  I think it still said to be hosted
• 13:53
  by Legends.
• 13:56
  It did say that.
• 13:58
  I do remember seeing that.
• 14:00
  Yeah,
• 14:00
  I do remember seeing the Legends thing
• 14:02
  somewhere.
• 14:06
  I had to pull up my computer because
• 14:08
  I can't read anything on my phone here.
• 14:10
  I'm sorry.
• 14:13
  There you go, yeah.
• 14:16
  uh the top age group athletes from
• 14:17
  semifinals would advance to the teenage
• 14:19
  and masters crossfit games by legends and
• 14:22
  pit team throwdown to determine who will
• 14:25
  be crowned division champions dates and
• 14:28
  locations to be announced okay and i know
• 14:40
  john george is one of the people that
• 14:42
  are most upset at this
• 14:45
  And he is already in the comments.
• 14:48
  Why?
• 14:49
  So Bob and Joe add all those other
• 14:50
  divisions to increase their comp.
• 14:52
  Now they're reducing game spots.
• 14:55
  This means less people in the stands,
• 14:57
  make zero sense,
• 14:58
  eliminate all the other BS.
• 15:00
  The only reason I would think that this
• 15:02
  would make any sense at all is if
• 15:04
  you do have it at the same location
• 15:06
  as the elites.
• 15:07
  I mean, it's potentially it could be,
• 15:12
  but...
• 15:14
  I don't know.
• 15:18
  I don't think if it's run by the
• 15:21
  Legends and Pitt that it's at the same
• 15:24
  location.
• 15:26
  If they're at the same location,
• 15:27
  it has to be run by CrossFit because
• 15:30
  of flooring purposes,
• 15:32
  like the programming-wise,
• 15:34
  everything needs to make sense.
• 15:35
  So with that being said there,
• 15:38
  it's clearly another date and another
• 15:39
  location.
• 15:40
  Maybe, yeah, another location,
• 15:42
  wherever they're doing it.
• 15:44
  Denise Moore,
• 15:45
  did you two get an email today for
• 15:46
  a survey for the games programming this
• 15:49
  year?
• 15:50
  I did.
• 15:50
  I thought I had already filled out a
• 15:53
  survey on feedback.
• 15:55
  I got this email,
• 15:56
  but then I started doing it and it
• 15:57
  looked like the same one that I had
• 15:58
  already done.
• 15:59
  Was it different?
• 16:00
  Because I thought one was elite and one
• 16:02
  was master's.
• 16:05
  that no we got another we've gotten two
• 16:10
  feedback survey things I don't remember
• 16:13
  what the first one was I don't feel
• 16:14
  like it was programming specific this one
• 16:18
  was I mean like right when you clicked
• 16:19
  in it was like yeah like yes or
• 16:23
  no or agree disagree strongly agree
• 16:26
  strongly disagree I feel like I filled out
• 16:29
  something like that like a few weeks ago
• 16:30
  so I stopped doing it but maybe I'll
• 16:33
  take the time and
• 16:36
  Redo it,
• 16:43
  because I was passionate about it.
• 16:46
  Yeah, I filled mine out.
• 16:49
  Yeah.
• 16:49
  So I think that still doesn't interfere
• 16:50
  with Elite.
• 16:50
  Just let's pray Bob and Joe don't get
• 16:53
  to program quarterfinals and semis with
• 16:56
  serious handcuffs on the games.
• 16:58
  Just my opinion.
• 16:59
  Yeah.
• 17:02
  I mean...
• 17:05
  they,
• 17:05
  they need some serious handcuffs until
• 17:07
  they can get this thing figured out.
• 17:11
  In my opinion,
• 17:11
  like I think they can do whatever they
• 17:15
  want for their, for their legends comp.
• 17:18
  It is what it is.
• 17:18
  Like, let it be heavy.
• 17:20
  Let it be.
• 17:20
  However, Bob likes to program, um,
• 17:24
  That can be your thing.
• 17:25
  Kind of like rogue has its own thing.
• 17:26
  I just don't think it's appropriate for
• 17:29
  the games,
• 17:30
  the test of fitness to be biased like
• 17:33
  that.
• 17:33
  And, and,
• 17:34
  and clearly not well-tested workouts
• 17:38
  throughout the divisions and genders.
• 17:43
  Yeah.
• 17:43
  I think that was the most disappointing
• 17:44
  thing.
• 17:44
  It became abundantly evident that they did
• 17:48
  not test.
• 17:49
  Yeah.
• 17:49
  They themselves didn't even test,
• 17:52
  even though they said they did.
• 17:59
  I thought it was interesting.
• 18:02
  I thought Bob and Joe said they were
• 18:03
  going to stay in Columbus for a few
• 18:05
  years.
• 18:06
  That is what they told me.
• 18:08
  They told me that the goal was to
• 18:10
  stay in Columbus.
• 18:12
  They were looking for a location where
• 18:14
  they could stay year upon year because
• 18:16
  that actually makes it cheaper for them
• 18:18
  once they find a location to stick there
• 18:21
  for a few years.
• 18:22
  I did like the location.
• 18:23
  I thought the venue was fine.
• 18:25
  I just don't think they utilized it the
• 18:28
  best that they could like inside the
• 18:30
  venue,
• 18:31
  just in the way that they had the
• 18:32
  vendors or even a lot of the space
• 18:34
  that was there.
• 18:34
  Like it could have been used.
• 18:36
  Honestly,
• 18:36
  you could run indoors and do like a,
• 18:39
  you know, five rounds for time of that,
• 18:40
  like, you know,
• 18:41
  three to four hundred meter run loop,
• 18:43
  go back into your flooring and do
• 18:45
  something.
• 18:49
  Just get a little bit more creative.
• 18:52
  MFC did that inside the venue.
• 18:55
  The floor was so big that they were
• 18:56
  able to do like a little mini track
• 18:59
  indoors, uh, that they use to run,
• 19:02
  to run the, the piece,
• 19:05
  which was awesome because it actually
• 19:07
  spreads out the crowd.
• 19:08
  It makes it even look more well attended.
• 19:10
  Right.
• 19:11
  Um, cause there's people all along that,
• 19:13
  the ropes of that little course.
• 19:19
  Um,
• 19:21
  What I found interesting,
• 19:22
  and I guess this is probably the best
• 19:24
  way to do is to talk about it,
• 19:28
  is the fact that so many CrossFit HQ
• 19:31
  people were at Tier Waterpalooza this
• 19:34
  weekend.
• 19:36
  And Dave even said in his weekend review
• 19:39
  that Dylan walked him through the process
• 19:43
  of building out that location.
• 19:46
  like how to build the stands,
• 19:48
  how to build the footprint,
• 19:50
  all of those things,
• 19:51
  and he carefully walked through that.
• 19:57
  Do you think that by them being there,
• 19:59
  they see that the festival feel has to
• 20:02
  come back,
• 20:04
  but they have to find a way to
• 20:05
  do it in a more economical way?
• 20:12
  And a setup like Wadapalooza,
• 20:15
  whether you love or hate them,
• 20:17
  and it is a love-hate relationship in many
• 20:20
  cases,
• 20:24
  they do do a competition that puts fifteen
• 20:28
  hundred athletes through a competition in
• 20:31
  a short amount of time.
• 20:32
  Go ahead.
• 20:41
  I just feel like the problem with that
• 20:42
  is that's fine for these comps that are
• 20:46
  what they are.
• 20:47
  Kind of like an exposition.
• 20:51
  I don't think it's appropriate for the
• 20:52
  CrossFit Games.
• 20:54
  to to open like they did this year
• 20:56
  for the age group to have all these
• 20:58
  teams there and extra like i don't i
• 21:00
  think that takes away from what we're
• 21:03
  doing we're there to find them i'm not
• 21:04
  saying add extra teams i'm saying if you
• 21:07
  want the masters the adaptive and the
• 21:10
  elite all to play in the same place
• 21:12
  at the same time it gives you a
• 21:15
  footprint and a plan to do that better
• 21:23
  I don't love the all outdoor the whole
• 21:25
  time.
• 21:26
  Just because weather plays a huge factor.
• 21:29
  If it starts raining the whole time,
• 21:31
  you need a plan B.
• 21:32
  It can change the whole programming.
• 21:33
  Is this still the test of the fit?
• 21:38
  I don't think that being out in the
• 21:40
  heat needs to be something that's tested
• 21:42
  every single competition.
• 21:46
  I like the idea of having an indoor
• 21:48
  venue for some things and then an outdoor
• 21:50
  venue for
• 21:51
  Like, like it was in Madison, basically.
• 21:54
  Um,
• 21:55
  I think that's like the best of both
• 21:56
  worlds where you had some indoor events
• 21:58
  and then you had some outdoor events and
• 22:00
  if it rained,
• 22:01
  like you can adapt a little bit or
• 22:03
  push,
• 22:04
  maybe switch the schedule up a little bit,
• 22:05
  but.
• 22:06
  I don't disagree with you in an ideal
• 22:09
  world,
• 22:10
  but they've said that it's too expensive
• 22:12
  because they have to build out that North
• 22:15
  park.
• 22:17
  And it's a large cost.
• 22:18
  And they have to break up the concrete
• 22:21
  when they leave.
• 22:22
  Because they pour a slab to put that
• 22:25
  field on.
• 22:27
  I don't know if people even realize that.
• 22:30
  What?
• 22:31
  Because that's a parking lot where North
• 22:33
  Park is.
• 22:34
  They literally pour a slab of cement to
• 22:37
  then put the turf on top of so
• 22:40
  it's level.
• 22:41
  And then they build on top of it.
• 22:43
  That's why it's so expensive.
• 22:45
  Like the pad, like a lot of parking.
• 22:52
  It's raised up off the parking lot because
• 22:55
  the parking lot is not level.
• 22:57
  I mean, you've been to Madison.
• 22:59
  Nothing there is like state of the art.
• 23:04
  I mean, I don't know.
• 23:06
  Have a slope like off of it.
• 23:08
  It doesn't seem like needs to be broken
• 23:10
  up every year.
• 23:11
  That's insane.
• 23:12
  Somehow you need to like leave that and
• 23:14
  build, build up around it.
• 23:18
  And I'm not saying that they would make
• 23:19
  it a beach games,
• 23:20
  but maybe they're just looking to find a
• 23:23
  way to have several stages with bleachers,
• 23:29
  with lighting, in a more economical way.
• 23:39
  One,
• 23:39
  to see CrossFit going and learning from
• 23:41
  anybody is something I've never seen in
• 23:45
  all my time.
• 23:45
  Maybe Rogue.
• 23:48
  maybe Rogue, but other than that,
• 23:49
  they have really been resistant to go dive
• 23:53
  in and get feedback from other people.
• 23:58
  Yeah,
• 23:59
  I do think that's huge because I feel
• 24:00
  like Dave's focus is purely programming
• 24:02
  and the show,
• 24:03
  and I don't know that he necessarily cares
• 24:06
  about the... I mean,
• 24:10
  I feel like he cares about the fans.
• 24:11
  He wants to put on a spectacle,
• 24:12
  but I don't know that he thinks about
• 24:14
  the fan experience outside of
• 24:18
  And it is a big, important aspect.
• 24:23
  Did you see his weekend review today?
• 24:25
  I have not seen it yet.
• 24:27
  He talked about how amazing the community
• 24:30
  was at tier cup.
• 24:31
  That's awesome.
• 24:32
  Um, and that,
• 24:36
  It just seemed like he was really so...
• 24:39
  And he said,
• 24:39
  I'm going back next year because it was
• 24:41
  such a cool experience.
• 24:43
  Like, thank you, Dave,
• 24:46
  for coming into the twenty-first century.
• 24:49
  Like,
• 24:51
  people have been begging you to do this
• 24:52
  for years.
• 24:55
  And...
• 24:57
  And whether it's going to be a beachfront
• 24:58
  thing or they go to a hayfield and
• 25:01
  put up stuff, I don't know.
• 25:03
  But if they can find a more economical
• 25:05
  way to have the festival back,
• 25:08
  I'm all for figuring that out.
• 25:13
  Yeah, I agree.
• 25:16
  Because you could rent the lighting.
• 25:18
  You could rent the stuff from Waterpalooza
• 25:21
  or partner with them.
• 25:24
  in a way where you could use all
• 25:25
  the lights and stuff and do some outdoor
• 25:26
  stuff because everybody knows like the,
• 25:29
  the romantic part of CrossFit is the
• 25:32
  tennis stadium under the lights at night
• 25:37
  was a huge thing in Carson.
• 25:39
  And if you could simulate that somehow,
• 25:44
  I think it's,
• 25:45
  it's something you got to go for.
• 25:47
  Yeah, I mean,
• 25:48
  I feel like Adaptive does an exceptional
• 25:52
  job of this and starts the week with,
• 25:55
  like someone said,
• 25:56
  they need to bring in USAW,
• 25:57
  like do a weightlifting the first two days
• 26:00
  or whatever.
• 26:01
  I feel like Adaptive has figured this out,
• 26:02
  right?
• 26:03
  They make it a week-long festival of
• 26:06
  multiple, I mean, kind of like Rogue does,
• 26:08
  right?
• 26:08
  You bring in two things.
• 26:11
  So if we can figure that out,
• 26:14
  that's one way right there.
• 26:16
  and it's pulling more money into the pot.
• 26:18
  Right.
• 26:18
  And yeah.
• 26:18
  Yeah.
• 26:26
  So what are your overall impressions of
• 26:28
  the season structure for next year?
• 26:32
  I mean, I love that the,
• 26:35
  I like that they're bringing quarterfinals
• 26:36
  back.
• 26:36
  I think,
• 26:37
  I think that the quarterfinals was the
• 26:38
  sweet spot.
• 26:39
  I think the twenty five percent is pushing
• 26:40
  it.
• 26:41
  It's.
• 26:41
  It just seems like a money grab.
• 26:45
  Um,
• 26:47
  in and then a like a big trunk
• 26:49
  doesn't sign up so it's i don't know
• 26:52
  i feel like you get a little more
• 26:53
  seriousness when you say ten percent those
• 26:55
  people are actually kind of bought in um
• 26:59
  and then and doing that all together i
• 27:02
  love i loved that when it was just
• 27:04
  like the one programming i mean it's the
• 27:06
  same through up through fifty four right i
• 27:08
  think that i think that poses a bit
• 27:10
  of a problem for
• 27:13
  what gets programmed because what needs to
• 27:16
  be tested for.
• 27:18
  Twenty five year olds and fifty four year
• 27:20
  olds is wildly different.
• 27:23
  So it's got to be.
• 27:26
  It's probably, you know,
• 27:27
  you got to do some of those workouts
• 27:28
  that have like the progressive movements,
• 27:31
  weights and the older crowd just doesn't
• 27:34
  get as far and the elites get very
• 27:37
  far.
• 27:38
  And it is what it is.
• 27:39
  But it
• 27:40
  It can be done with proper programming.
• 27:42
  I like it.
• 27:43
  I like that it's all inclusive.
• 27:44
  I think it really brings the community
• 27:46
  together.
• 27:49
  Yeah, I think – I mean,
• 27:51
  I know a lot of people that love
• 27:52
  the quarterfinals.
• 27:53
  Like, I like that.
• 27:56
  I also like the five-week open.
• 27:58
  I almost think that you could do –
• 28:00
  you pay fifty bucks,
• 28:01
  and that's five weeks of the open,
• 28:03
  or you do twenty bucks,
• 28:04
  and that –
• 28:05
  pays for three weeks like the first three
• 28:08
  weeks and that's your community base and
• 28:10
  then the people that paid the fifty
• 28:12
  whether they're the twenty five percent
• 28:13
  the two percent whatever it is they get
• 28:16
  the four week block or the five week
• 28:18
  of the open type thing where the last
• 28:20
  two weeks are like the more um the
• 28:23
  separator type workouts
• 28:26
  And I think you get a full five
• 28:27
  week program and then you could do
• 28:29
  something with that to go to like the
• 28:31
  semifinals or whatnot.
• 28:32
  Like you don't need that week break in
• 28:34
  between and then go like on the fifth
• 28:36
  week and do that.
• 28:38
  Well, let me throw this out to you.
• 28:40
  I heard,
• 28:41
  let me throw this out to you.
• 28:42
  I heard a woman once say,
• 28:44
  why not take the first three weeks of
• 28:46
  the open and the quarterfinals and keep
• 28:48
  all the scores.
• 28:50
  And then at the end of both,
• 28:52
  Then you take the top two thousand to
• 28:55
  move on to semifinals.
• 28:57
  I heard it somewhere.
• 28:58
  I'm not sure where.
• 28:59
  It's exactly where I was heading at,
• 29:01
  because I think that you take into account
• 29:05
  the different style of workouts and you
• 29:07
  have week one, two, three.
• 29:10
  And then you go four and five,
• 29:12
  and now you have five, you know,
• 29:15
  different style of workouts and you can
• 29:17
  have,
• 29:17
  some of them can be two parters maybe
• 29:18
  for like weeks four and five or whatever
• 29:20
  you want to do.
• 29:21
  You can have five or six scores and
• 29:23
  then you have a more well-rounded test and
• 29:26
  then the open matters.
• 29:29
  Mm-hmm .
• 29:30
  Truly.
• 29:31
  I'm even okay if they take the current
• 29:32
  structure with the quarterfinals and the
• 29:35
  Open and combine all of them into one.
• 29:37
  Yes.
• 29:38
  Right.
• 29:38
  With your Open videos,
• 29:40
  if you want to move on to the
• 29:42
  semifinals,
• 29:43
  then you have mandatory videos.
• 29:46
  So like when you do, I don't know.
• 29:50
  Like the Rogue Invitational Online
• 29:51
  Qualifier or like Rogue Challenges.
• 29:54
  They have a version where if you want
• 29:56
  to be on the competitive leaderboard,
• 29:58
  you have to have videos.
• 30:00
  If you want to just do the workouts
• 30:01
  and not be competitive,
• 30:03
  you're in the community leaderboard.
• 30:05
  And that's what they could do with the
• 30:06
  Open is you have two leaderboards.
• 30:08
  Community, no need to video.
• 30:12
  Competitive route,
• 30:14
  you're looking to enter the season,
• 30:16
  you must have a video of your score.
• 30:20
  You could do a,
• 30:21
  they can easily find a way to combine
• 30:23
  both leaderboards and do like, this is,
• 30:25
  this would be the overall,
• 30:26
  but on the competitive track that this is
• 30:28
  the true one that like counts.
• 30:29
  Just so people that are doing the
• 30:31
  community one could see where they would
• 30:33
  fall.
• 30:33
  Like,
• 30:34
  just like you could see where you fall
• 30:35
  in your province or in your state,
• 30:37
  country, whatnot.
• 30:38
  Like,
• 30:39
  I'm sure there would be a way to
• 30:39
  combine both leaderboards,
• 30:41
  but you have two different paths.
• 30:44
  and one of them is cheaper right one
• 30:48
  of them is cheaper and less workouts first
• 30:51
  three weeks the other one's more expensive
• 30:54
  have to have videos and then you you
• 30:57
  move on from there i think vicky summed
• 30:59
  up exactly what carolyn just said
• 31:03
  Denise says eight scores.
• 31:05
  It would be seven or eight depending on
• 31:06
  if they do the four workout quarter or
• 31:09
  the five workout quarter.
• 31:13
  I think they've done that two different
• 31:14
  times, some five, some four.
• 31:18
  If you do it like Carolyn says and
• 31:20
  just add two weeks,
• 31:21
  you could add two workouts each weekend to
• 31:23
  the advanced elite division and make it
• 31:27
  seven scores.
• 31:29
  like a two-parter or something yeah and
• 31:31
  then like if you have them on a
• 31:32
  structural thing in there it doesn't
• 31:34
  influence the overall leaderboard as much
• 31:39
  um as if you don't have other stuff
• 31:40
  around it right to balance it yeah yeah
• 31:43
  if you do a lift
• 31:46
  like i like the quarterfinals but i hate
• 31:48
  the fact that the open after that means
• 31:51
  nothing and like the top two thousand move
• 31:54
  on or whatever or more than that twenty
• 31:56
  five percent move on like no offense but
• 31:59
  for a lot of the true competitors looking
• 32:01
  to move on the the three weeks of
• 32:03
  the open mean absolutely nothing and like
• 32:07
  those are still good tests like i still
• 32:09
  think that there should be a value put
• 32:10
  to that
• 32:12
  to like,
• 32:13
  so that the athletes that are really,
• 32:14
  really good at high skill,
• 32:15
  high weights still have to be good at
• 32:17
  burpees and chest to bars and thrusters.
• 32:18
  Well, it's the base of the pyramid, right?
• 32:20
  And dumbbell snatches,
• 32:21
  like the things that you see in the
• 32:22
  open, wall walks.
• 32:23
  The lower skill, lower weights,
• 32:26
  like it's a different style of fitness,
• 32:29
  but then you put so much emphasis on
• 32:32
  the heavy and high skill,
• 32:35
  but then they are gassed in quick little
• 32:38
  sprinty open style workouts.
• 32:40
  And it's like,
• 32:41
  are you really the fittest or did you
• 32:43
  just get good workouts on the quarterfinal
• 32:45
  weekend or whatnot?
• 32:46
  Yep.
• 32:47
  And I think it's important for elite,
• 32:51
  but I think it is absolutely necessary for
• 32:54
  age group.
• 32:56
  That's where it really comes into play.
• 32:58
  Because for age group,
• 32:59
  you need a more balanced test.
• 33:01
  You have more specialists.
• 33:04
  And so the programming slants things way
• 33:07
  more on the age group side than it
• 33:10
  does in the elite side.
• 33:14
  And so for them...
• 33:16
  I think it's even a stronger case that
• 33:19
  you need to combine all the scores.
• 33:23
  Yeah.
• 33:23
  You either need to combine the scores or
• 33:24
  you need to pro you need to program
• 33:27
  almost the same thing throughout.
• 33:29
  And that's no fun for anybody like to
• 33:31
  keep retesting the same type of things.
• 33:33
  Like.
• 33:34
  Yeah.
• 33:34
  Nobody wants to read.
• 33:35
  Why not just keep it instead of retest
• 33:37
  it.
• 33:37
  Right.
• 33:38
  Yep.
• 33:38
  Just keep building on it.
• 33:40
  Let's get a really well-rounded athlete.
• 33:44
  And it makes it easier on the programmer.
• 33:45
  Yeah.
• 33:47
  yeah.
• 33:48
  What do we think about the semifinals and
• 33:50
  that continuing to go back to the
• 33:53
  programmers and stuff like,
• 33:54
  should there be more handcuffs on the
• 33:57
  semifinals and what they're able to do?
• 33:58
  Like,
• 33:58
  let's say you can make up whatever you
• 34:00
  work out you want.
• 34:02
  We need to have a clean and jerk
• 34:04
  at this weight, a snatch at this weight,
• 34:06
  handstand walking this, you know,
• 34:08
  you have a list of things that you
• 34:10
  give to the programmers,
• 34:11
  make up the workout that you want,
• 34:12
  but these skills or these
• 34:15
  these movements need to be included within
• 34:17
  your programming at a minimum so that you
• 34:19
  don't get such variety in the semifinals?
• 34:23
  Or do we like the semifinals being so
• 34:25
  different and people coming out of the
• 34:27
  semifinals with different type of
• 34:28
  programming?
• 34:30
  I think some sort of guideline like that
• 34:31
  would be neat to see the type of
• 34:34
  workouts that people come up with,
• 34:35
  but they still have been tested at similar
• 34:39
  movements.
• 34:40
  So my thought as a spectator,
• 34:43
  and that's all I am,
• 34:45
  like Jamie probably has a different
• 34:46
  perspective,
• 34:47
  and I'm sure you have a different
• 34:48
  perspective.
• 34:49
  But as a sports fan, I watch golf,
• 34:53
  and the way you qualify for the FedEx
• 34:55
  Cup,
• 34:55
  you have to play courses that are
• 34:57
  completely different all over the world.
• 34:59
  In tennis, you have to play grass court,
• 35:01
  clay court, and hard surface.
• 35:05
  And it all brings people to the end
• 35:07
  of the championship in that year.
• 35:09
  And so you get different players that go
• 35:11
  head to head at the end of the
• 35:12
  season.
• 35:13
  I'm okay with all that.
• 35:15
  If there's enough,
• 35:16
  enough opportunities to get the best
• 35:18
  people there.
• 35:20
  Um,
• 35:22
  And for the spectator,
• 35:24
  it is less boring than the old regional
• 35:28
  day.
• 35:28
  By the last week of regionals,
• 35:30
  and I am a CrossFit nerd who watched
• 35:31
  everything,
• 35:33
  watching the same workout for like the
• 35:35
  eighth time got to be a little hard.
• 35:39
  So that's where I come from,
• 35:41
  but it's truly a spectator point of view
• 35:43
  and not an athlete point of view.
• 35:45
  And I know you guys probably have a
• 35:46
  different opinion.
• 35:49
  Well, I feel like there was too many...
• 35:53
  in-person qualifying events personally.
• 35:58
  So I think that that would eliminate that
• 36:01
  if there was five, maybe.
• 36:07
  So you think less in-person events,
• 36:09
  more spot at those events?
• 36:11
  Yes.
• 36:15
  And that way,
• 36:17
  if it is similar programming,
• 36:18
  it doesn't feel like eight, nine,
• 36:20
  eight weeks of like the same thing over
• 36:22
  and over and over again.
• 36:24
  But I just,
• 36:25
  I don't like this region locked and
• 36:27
  someone made it cause they went here and
• 36:30
  this one was all heavy weights and
• 36:33
  machines.
• 36:34
  And this one was all gymnastics.
• 36:35
  And if somebody would have went here,
• 36:37
  they would have made it.
• 36:39
  So yeah, I think,
• 36:42
  little more uniform personally i would
• 36:44
  prefer to see and i just would i
• 36:45
  would prefer to see fewer unlocked
• 36:49
  regionals semi-final locations personally
• 36:57
  uh fergie crossfit needs to get back to
• 36:58
  live qualifying events they're literally
• 37:00
  every weekend pick the ones in in the
• 37:03
  region agree that they will carry the
• 37:05
  quarterfinal programming uh aaron frazier
• 37:07
  we love ncc show programming
• 37:12
  Denise, as a spectator,
• 37:13
  I would love to see the same workouts
• 37:14
  across all different semifinals so I can
• 37:16
  compare athletes.
• 37:18
  You can't really compare because
• 37:20
  everything's different.
• 37:22
  Even when we did it like two years
• 37:23
  ago,
• 37:24
  the surfaces for the sled drag were
• 37:26
  completely different in every arena.
• 37:29
  Sometimes the distance between the
• 37:30
  barbells are different in different arenas
• 37:32
  when the floor is not the same size.
• 37:36
  then just for fun jamie would you rather
• 37:38
  do a mile of burpees at altitude or
• 37:40
  chaperone a group of middle school boys at
• 37:41
  a lions game oh man that's a tough
• 37:44
  one i would i don't i don't even
• 37:48
  know i don't know that is a really
• 37:53
  tough one i'd like to be at the
• 37:55
  lions game
• 37:57
  And Vicki,
• 37:57
  I don't think they should necessarily
• 37:58
  limit the workouts per se,
• 38:00
  but I do think the athletes should be
• 38:01
  able to do one in person.
• 38:03
  And if they miss out,
• 38:05
  it's last chance qualifier.
• 38:07
  I do kind of like that.
• 38:09
  Yeah.
• 38:09
  You have to pick one in person to
• 38:12
  try.
• 38:12
  Yeah, I think that's the right idea.
• 38:17
  Yeah.
• 38:24
  would you ever give a spot directly to
• 38:26
  the games from winning like i don't know
• 38:32
  the open quarter final route like get one
• 38:34
  spot to like even make it matter if
• 38:39
  the open and quarter finals workouts were
• 38:42
  combined into one leaderboard i i could
• 38:44
  see an argument for that for the yeah
• 38:46
  I couldn't even see an argument for top
• 38:47
  five.
• 38:48
  Yeah.
• 38:49
  You finished top five in the world with
• 38:51
  videos in seven events.
• 38:54
  Then you,
• 38:54
  you should get a spot to the games.
• 38:57
  I think five pushing it just because it
• 38:58
  takes away a lot of spots.
• 38:59
  There's only the third year,
• 39:01
  but I can see the podium one, two,
• 39:02
  three.
• 39:03
  People would be trying for the open,
• 39:05
  right?
• 39:05
  Like you're like,
• 39:06
  that can be an opportunity to.
• 39:09
  With video Aaron with video.
• 39:12
  Right.
• 39:13
  Yeah.
• 39:13
  With video.
• 39:14
  Of course.
• 39:17
  Yeah.
• 39:20
  Okay.
• 39:22
  Well,
• 39:22
  I'm sure we're going to be talking about
• 39:23
  this a lot.
• 39:24
  There's supposed to be more details.
• 39:25
  Dave did say in his weekend review that
• 39:27
  they talked to the athletes at Tier Cup.
• 39:32
  They had some heated discussions about
• 39:34
  some things,
• 39:35
  and there's more to be announced soon.
• 39:38
  And he said if the athletes say it,
• 39:39
  he doesn't care.
• 39:40
  But he wasn't at liberty to say at
• 39:42
  this moment, but it'll be coming out soon.
• 39:45
  So I'm sure by next week we'll have
• 39:46
  even more details that we can discuss
• 39:49
  about the season.
• 39:52
  I'm just curious for the age group,
• 39:54
  what comps will be in person and stuff,
• 39:58
  how many spots?
• 39:59
  Because that was interesting.
• 40:00
  That's a new addition that's interesting.
• 40:03
  So I know this always gets me in
• 40:04
  trouble.
• 40:05
  I heard a rumor from a reliable source
• 40:11
  that the one that they knew of wasn't
• 40:14
  even an existing competition that we even
• 40:18
  think about.
• 40:22
  but had put their hat into the to
• 40:25
  be just an age group qualifier not an
• 40:28
  elite and age group cool so like Monster
• 40:38
  Games or something I'm trying to think of
• 40:39
  one that's early enough see Monster Games
• 40:43
  has Elite this competition is not would
• 40:46
  not have Elite
• 40:48
  And MFC is really the only other one
• 40:50
  that's not in the right timeframe.
• 40:51
  I'm trying to think of like the
• 40:52
  competitions that have a lot of masters
• 40:54
  like NorCal before it was Granite Games.
• 40:58
  I had been met like age group division.
• 41:00
  Vitruvian Games.
• 41:03
  Maybe I'll be able to say something by
• 41:04
  next week.
• 41:08
  So no, Denise, not WFB.
• 41:14
  So let's talk about Tier Cup.
• 41:16
  Let's talk about some things that just
• 41:17
  happened, some fitness that went crazy.
• 41:20
  First and foremost,
• 41:21
  North America took the win.
• 41:24
  It was in doubt.
• 41:26
  I will say I picked World last week,
• 41:30
  and mostly because...
• 41:34
  two factors I knew Alexis Raptus has been
• 41:37
  hurt for the last couple months and taking
• 41:40
  waste and a significant player is tough
• 41:42
  and then the other fact is that Tia
• 41:45
  was so dominant last year and all they
• 41:48
  did was make her team stronger this year
• 41:51
  and they competed with America last year I
• 41:53
  did not know that the real Tia was
• 41:56
  kidnapped and her doppelganger showed up
• 41:59
  instead now
• 42:03
  I guess we know the answer.
• 42:05
  I'm assuming if she's pregnant,
• 42:07
  that's the one way to beat Tia is
• 42:09
  knock her up, right?
• 42:13
  Why wouldn't she just say it?
• 42:16
  I don't know,
• 42:16
  but she already had confirmed she wasn't
• 42:18
  doing Rogue.
• 42:19
  I feel like you have to assume that's
• 42:21
  what's going on.
• 42:23
  So I just binge watched the behind the
• 42:25
  scenes that Tia put out.
• 42:28
  They're actually really good.
• 42:30
  If you have not watched them,
• 42:31
  they're very well done.
• 42:34
  And Pat Vellner says,
• 42:39
  we need to get the cup and make
• 42:43
  Tia retire on an L.
• 42:48
  So now all I can think of now,
• 42:50
  the retirement speculation's back.
• 42:52
  And then Dallin goes,
• 42:53
  that woman's never going to retire.
• 42:55
  Right.
• 42:55
  Right.
• 42:56
  She'll just do the game so she can
• 42:58
  get invited back to Tier Cup to try
• 42:59
  to win it next year.
• 43:04
  Yes.
• 43:04
  So I don't know.
• 43:06
  It's all speculation at this point.
• 43:08
  She's not saying.
• 43:09
  She never does.
• 43:11
  She leaves us hanging forever and ever.
• 43:15
  But it is a great behind the scenes.
• 43:17
  They got a lot of good footage.
• 43:20
  There's moments where they talk to Alexis
• 43:22
  where she doesn't even know if she's going
• 43:24
  to make it through the next event.
• 43:26
  I thought she got the stomach issues
• 43:27
  handled, but apparently not.
• 43:31
  She said it was because she overheated.
• 43:35
  She was throwing up.
• 43:37
  She was eating smoothies,
• 43:38
  trying to make it through the day,
• 43:40
  smoothies and Gatorade to get her through.
• 43:43
  That could be the workout, Echo Fran.
• 43:45
  Yeah.
• 43:47
  If that's a tough workout on the body,
• 43:49
  that can make you nauseous and not feeling
• 43:54
  very well.
• 43:54
  The Sunday behind the scenes,
• 43:56
  they're asking her if she's going to get
• 43:57
  through that burpee deadlift workout,
• 44:00
  and she wasn't sure she was.
• 44:02
  She was going,
• 44:03
  I hope the body holds up,
• 44:05
  but I just don't know.
• 44:06
  She did great.
• 44:07
  She did.
• 44:09
  I mean, after that date,
• 44:11
  I wouldn't have known.
• 44:12
  She looked more like herself.
• 44:15
  She didn't do awesome on the rope climb,
• 44:18
  but I mean, she got the no rep.
• 44:22
  Aren't we supposed to wait at least twelve
• 44:24
  weeks before you announce a pregnancy?
• 44:26
  Exactly.
• 44:27
  I just think they're not making anything
• 44:29
  official.
• 44:30
  Will Tia get knocked around?
• 44:32
  Will Tia getting knocked around make her
• 44:35
  want to keep going and show these girls
• 44:36
  she's still got it?
• 44:39
  I think she has shown for eight seasons.
• 44:43
  For ten seasons, she got it.
• 44:48
  Like in the first workout echo Fran,
• 44:50
  when she dropped the barbell at the first,
• 44:53
  like seven reps or something.
• 44:55
  Cause it was like, right.
• 44:55
  I think I was,
• 44:56
  and no one else dropped at that point.
• 44:58
  I was like,
• 45:00
  people are either going out way too hot.
• 45:03
  I'm like, because if Tia's breaking,
• 45:06
  people are not coming up with a good
• 45:07
  game plan.
• 45:08
  Or I was like,
• 45:10
  this is really weird that she just broke
• 45:13
  a quick seven rep.
• 45:14
  I was like, this is odd.
• 45:16
  And then when she was last,
• 45:17
  I never thought I would see that.
• 45:18
  Not in a workout that has thrusters and
• 45:20
  like...
• 45:21
  pull-ups and stuff like yeah there's an
• 45:22
  echo bike and that's not her strongest
• 45:24
  point but i was like when you think
• 45:26
  about the friendly fran and her and fraser
• 45:30
  just smashing everyone on that workout
• 45:33
  like i did not think in any world
• 45:37
  that should be the eighth player or eighth
• 45:39
  place on that workout i was like wow
• 45:45
  totally i never thought i'd see tia
• 45:47
  finished like that never
• 45:50
  regardless and then even if i would think
• 45:53
  that she'd be able i don't know i
• 45:54
  don't know the way she stopped on those
• 46:01
  double unders and the wall balls like and
• 46:03
  in that workout it's like she's trying to
• 46:06
  keep her heart rate a little lower
• 46:08
  I don't know.
• 46:08
  Yeah, that one was surprising too.
• 46:11
  Like the rope climb one, I was like,
• 46:12
  okay, she missed her foot.
• 46:13
  Same with Emma Tall.
• 46:15
  They kind of both had a little mishap
• 46:16
  on the ropes.
• 46:17
  And both of those girls are normally two
• 46:21
  of the strongest on the ropes.
• 46:23
  And they just had a mishap.
• 46:24
  And I was like, okay.
• 46:25
  And that workout was one on the rope.
• 46:27
  But then when you had the double unders
• 46:29
  and wall balls, and she's resting...
• 46:32
  significantly i was like man i was like
• 46:34
  this is just not like the tia that
• 46:37
  we normally see um and it's like yeah
• 46:41
  she could be just in her off season
• 46:44
  or whatnot or had just traveled and jet
• 46:47
  lag or what other people are speculating
• 46:50
  me was also like the one interview when
• 46:52
  she's like oh i'll let people speculate um
• 46:56
  what they want or whatever i was like
• 46:57
  is she talking about pregnancy or is she
• 46:59
  talking about just like whether she
• 47:00
  sandbagged the workout i was like
• 47:03
  I wasn't sure.
• 47:04
  Yeah.
• 47:05
  Yeah.
• 47:05
  Aaron Frazier asks,
• 47:06
  can she lose that much fitness since the
• 47:08
  games?
• 47:08
  No, I don't think so.
• 47:09
  She was so far in front of everyone
• 47:12
  that even if she took a month off,
• 47:16
  I think she's still so much better.
• 47:20
  I mean, I get it.
• 47:22
  She was still working out,
• 47:23
  but like when she was just big train
• 47:24
  high rocks,
• 47:26
  she was like,
• 47:27
  immediately able to just start picking up
• 47:30
  the heavyweights and be within two weeks,
• 47:31
  be right back with everyone else like
• 47:33
  that.
• 47:34
  She's,
• 47:35
  she's just something else that for me,
• 47:38
  the only explanation is she's pregnant,
• 47:41
  or Ken Walters,
• 47:43
  they forgot the cyborgs adapter.
• 47:49
  Yeah.
• 47:51
  it was just weird it was just weird
• 47:53
  but it's hard right because like you just
• 47:55
  it's it's probably hard to be in her
• 47:57
  shoes because like all everyone knows from
• 47:59
  her is just excellence and winning every
• 48:03
  single workout so like it must suck that
• 48:06
  like you can't even just do a workout
• 48:09
  and not win and then everyone's just
• 48:10
  literally speculating about anything that
• 48:13
  could be wrong with you like right
• 48:16
  It's an off-season fun competition.
• 48:19
  I mean, fun.
• 48:19
  There's still two hundred thousand dollars
• 48:21
  on the line for that.
• 48:25
  To be that good where you just can't
• 48:26
  even have any weekend off is crazy.
• 48:31
  Our resident medical professional,
• 48:33
  I think she's pregnant.
• 48:40
  Enough about Tia.
• 48:41
  There are a lot of other athletes there.
• 48:43
  A lot of fun things to watch.
• 48:46
  what were your overall like what did you
• 48:49
  first of all did you like the event
• 48:51
  and then what did you like about the
• 48:53
  event yeah i liked the event it was
• 48:59
  incredibly easy to watch other than the
• 49:01
  time that it was on um but that
• 49:04
  that shortened time frame like the fact
• 49:06
  that it isn't the same athlete going um
• 49:11
  or a different athlete goes in a different
• 49:12
  event and they can go event back to
• 49:14
  back to back and be done in an
• 49:15
  hour is
• 49:17
  Awesome.
• 49:18
  I love the team format that they do.
• 49:20
  Like the four people,
• 49:21
  the different styles, like you said,
• 49:23
  four people on this one,
• 49:24
  two on this one.
• 49:25
  If you did those two,
• 49:26
  those two are out for the next one.
• 49:28
  It has to be a flip-flop.
• 49:30
  Yeah, it just, it's great.
• 49:33
  Love the format.
• 49:35
  I would love to see another team or
• 49:37
  two just to make it more of like
• 49:39
  the invitational from before so that if a
• 49:41
  team gets ahead on a workout,
• 49:43
  these races weren't that bad.
• 49:46
  Like sometimes things could have gone
• 49:48
  worse where then you don't even have to
• 49:50
  try to finish the workout.
• 49:53
  Yeah,
• 49:53
  eventually I would like to see another
• 49:56
  couple teams just to make it a little
• 49:57
  bit more exciting.
• 49:59
  Timing wise,
• 50:00
  didn't love staying up super late.
• 50:02
  I mean,
• 50:02
  I get that like Australia and other people
• 50:05
  around the world normally are doing that.
• 50:08
  But if you're looking at most people that
• 50:11
  are watching, like even I think in Europe,
• 50:13
  it would have been like three or four
• 50:14
  in the morning.
• 50:16
  yeah it's just because it's on the west
• 50:19
  coast and it was dark too though like
• 50:21
  their lighting wasn't great um i don't
• 50:24
  know if it's one day but like the
• 50:25
  flooring gets a little bit wet like they
• 50:28
  were doing handstand walks on the one and
• 50:29
  it looked like it was like dark out
• 50:32
  to do their handstand walks with the
• 50:33
  pistol one um other than that i mean
• 50:38
  i enjoyed the workouts i enjoyed watching
• 50:43
  um
• 50:44
  How fast they did Isabel and Grace.
• 50:50
  It was crazy.
• 50:51
  I haven't done a pure workout like those
• 50:54
  ones,
• 50:55
  but I didn't know what people could do
• 50:56
  now,
• 50:56
  so it's nice to see that you could
• 50:59
  get to see top athletes do those benchmark
• 51:02
  workouts.
• 51:03
  I love that they made them go
• 51:04
  face-to-face.
• 51:06
  Yeah.
• 51:09
  I thought that added an element to it.
• 51:12
  because because like hopper was smiling
• 51:16
  but i just think like if you're doing
• 51:17
  like isabel and like your grip is going
• 51:20
  and all of a sudden you're going to
• 51:21
  make contact and that bar flies in front
• 51:23
  of you like they're like really close to
• 51:26
  each other my first crush that's how we
• 51:30
  had to lift every day because it was
• 51:32
  so tight in there i thought some of
• 51:34
  the snatch um reps were like
• 51:39
  Sometimes clean and jerk look better on,
• 51:42
  um, on good reps, but yeah, I think,
• 51:45
  I don't know.
• 51:46
  I like the workouts overall this time.
• 51:50
  So.
• 51:51
  I love the event.
• 51:52
  I thought it was better than last year.
• 51:54
  I agree with Jamie.
• 51:56
  The ninety minute of three workouts,
• 51:59
  three scored events in ninety minutes made
• 52:02
  it like these digestible chunks that you
• 52:05
  could watch it even though it was really
• 52:06
  late and you could do and go on
• 52:08
  with the rest of your day.
• 52:11
  I loved how fast Dallin did the legless
• 52:13
  rope climbs like that blew me away.
• 52:16
  Or no, it was Justin.
• 52:19
  Justin Medeiros.
• 52:20
  Yeah.
• 52:20
  Justin.
• 52:23
  Love the synchro deadlift burpee.
• 52:26
  I thought that when two athletes do it
• 52:29
  so well, like Dallin and Alexis,
• 52:31
  it is beauty to watch.
• 52:35
  They were so in sync on the two-person.
• 52:38
  And even Pat and Danielle were dead on
• 52:41
  during that.
• 52:42
  And I thought...
• 52:44
  That is,
• 52:45
  I never thought a deadlift burpee workout
• 52:47
  would be fun to watch,
• 52:49
  but that was fun to watch.
• 52:50
  It was.
• 52:51
  It was beautiful.
• 52:52
  It was like, it was almost like art,
• 52:55
  like watching the synchronicity of that.
• 52:59
  I thought the programming went up a level.
• 53:01
  I thought the evenness of the teams
• 53:04
  definitely went up this year.
• 53:06
  And it made it for a much better
• 53:07
  competition.
• 53:08
  The trash talking was at another level.
• 53:11
  Pat Vellner gets my vote for best trash
• 53:14
  talker.
• 53:14
  He always is the best trash talker.
• 53:18
  It's funny because, you know,
• 53:19
  like Hopper and Dallin and Justin have
• 53:21
  been doing all this trash talking.
• 53:22
  And then the old man comes in and
• 53:24
  says, hold my beer.
• 53:26
  This is how you really do it.
• 53:28
  It's like everyone forgets how funny Pat
• 53:31
  is all the time.
• 53:32
  They rip on him for some of his
• 53:36
  stance or just him being old and whatnot.
• 53:38
  But then he comes back and everyone's
• 53:40
  like, oh, I love Pat.
• 53:41
  Pat was like...
• 53:42
  During the interviews with all the
• 53:44
  athletes, if Pat wasn't there,
• 53:46
  it would have been...
• 53:47
  boring to watch some of the interviews.
• 53:48
  It was rough to watch some of them.
• 53:50
  He has a great personality.
• 53:51
  He's well-spoken.
• 53:54
  He's good with terps.
• 53:57
  I think he's great for the competition.
• 54:00
  Aaron Frazier,
• 54:01
  DB winning with three no reps and still
• 54:04
  going sub-minute was crazy.
• 54:07
  That was wild.
• 54:09
  She did incredible there.
• 54:10
  That was nuts.
• 54:11
  She was so fast.
• 54:13
  She was amazing all weekend.
• 54:15
  I agree.
• 54:18
  And I'll say it again this year.
• 54:20
  I know that people dog Guy because he's
• 54:22
  not well-rounded.
• 54:23
  He is not.
• 54:24
  But his home runs are like massive home
• 54:28
  runs.
• 54:29
  And when you put him in an event
• 54:31
  like this,
• 54:32
  he is going to crush the other team.
• 54:37
  But what it made the weightlifting event
• 54:40
  not even fun to watch.
• 54:42
  Right, right.
• 54:47
  That one almost needed to be boys total
• 54:50
  and girls total so that there maybe was
• 54:53
  some possibility.
• 54:56
  I think because Guy was going to make
• 54:59
  it unwinnable,
• 55:00
  it threw in the option to throw Alexis
• 55:03
  in there and just not even attempt.
• 55:10
  I don't know.
• 55:11
  Yeah.
• 55:14
  I don't know.
• 55:16
  No,
• 55:16
  I think a lot of what they did
• 55:17
  this year looked good.
• 55:18
  And like you said,
• 55:19
  the ninety minute was perfect.
• 55:21
  If you add like a pre and post
• 55:23
  show just for the transitions,
• 55:25
  like a desk person like the WFP like
• 55:27
  had or like the old update show on,
• 55:31
  you know, for CrossFit,
• 55:31
  I think that just is a very easy,
• 55:34
  you know, ninety minute sell.
• 55:35
  If you do like a CrossFit style series
• 55:39
  like that would be cool.
• 55:42
  If I were to give any critiques.
• 55:46
  In the broadcast,
• 55:47
  the counters were way off.
• 55:49
  Yes.
• 55:51
  That was really bad.
• 55:52
  That was brutal.
• 55:53
  And the only other thing I would say
• 55:54
  is they did a film footage that you
• 55:58
  can watch on YouTube of the sand event
• 56:00
  from Sunday.
• 56:03
  I wish we would have done one with
• 56:04
  the other event as well.
• 56:05
  Agreed.
• 56:07
  And then come on right before you go
• 56:09
  live and show it as part of your
• 56:12
  presentation and make it a two hour block
• 56:15
  instead of a ninety minute block.
• 56:17
  I just showing the highlights from the
• 56:19
  other event into because you already you
• 56:22
  already did it for the one.
• 56:24
  You don't have to add it for the
• 56:26
  other.
• 56:27
  And I think that would have I think
• 56:31
  that it would have added to the broadcast
• 56:32
  tremendously.
• 56:34
  i did notice they went to the the
• 56:35
  f-one uh style leaderboard down the side
• 56:39
  for some events which i really do like
• 56:41
  a lot more but man the counters were
• 56:44
  just not good at their job yeah because
• 56:47
  sometimes you'd be looking you're like oh
• 56:48
  this person's elite and then the boom they
• 56:49
  were the other team was done you're like
• 56:51
  whoa right what happened there right yeah
• 56:55
  and it is so crucial that that work
• 56:59
  um
• 57:01
  when you're watching these events because
• 57:03
  you can't see the counts.
• 57:04
  You can't, you don't know the reps.
• 57:06
  And the only way it makes it exciting
• 57:09
  is if you can see who's in the
• 57:11
  lead and who's not.
• 57:12
  Yeah.
• 57:12
  Yeah.
• 57:13
  The, the erg shoot,
• 57:14
  you couldn't see what color was coming up.
• 57:16
  So you were relying and then all of
• 57:17
  a sudden it was over.
• 57:18
  And I was like, what?
• 57:19
  Yeah.
• 57:21
  That event was too dark.
• 57:23
  Their handstand walks looked like they
• 57:24
  were literally in the dark.
• 57:28
  Yeah, you couldn't see.
• 57:29
  Some of them you could see the green
• 57:31
  pop up and you're like, okay,
• 57:32
  I think he got a hit.
• 57:33
  Or she got a hit.
• 57:36
  How did we feel about that event?
• 57:40
  i'm okay with it in an exhibition i
• 57:42
  know a lot of people are saying the
• 57:43
  points were not consistent and blah blah
• 57:45
  blah it's it's a it's really a fun
• 57:48
  exhibition i know that by the end they
• 57:51
  were taking it really seriously i mean i
• 57:53
  would we call it an exhibition i mean
• 57:56
  if you're if you can win twenty five
• 57:57
  thousand dollars that that's not an
• 58:00
  exhibition that's that's as much as their
• 58:02
  wfp winning yeah i mean thirty thousand
• 58:05
  like
• 58:07
  I don't know who takes a weekend
• 58:09
  exhibition for when you got an opportunity
• 58:11
  to win twenty five K each.
• 58:14
  I don't call that an exhibition.
• 58:15
  I'm like, that's business.
• 58:17
  That's a business weekend.
• 58:18
  Like you're going there to win money.
• 58:21
  It's not to find the fittest on Earth.
• 58:23
  It's it's it's a there's no rules to
• 58:26
  it.
• 58:26
  They can be whatever they want it to
• 58:28
  be.
• 58:29
  Right.
• 58:31
  I guess that's what I'm what I mean
• 58:32
  by it.
• 58:33
  Yeah.
• 58:35
  You know,
• 58:35
  and Rogue had a shooting event a couple
• 58:37
  years ago.
• 58:38
  But if you watch Biathlon in the Olympics,
• 58:40
  they have like a little thing,
• 58:41
  like a dedicated camera to the target.
• 58:45
  It's in the corner of the screen that
• 58:47
  you can see like if it hit or
• 58:49
  didn't hit.
• 58:51
  And that's what it was missing.
• 58:52
  Yeah, I agree.
• 58:55
  Like a zoom in on the target.
• 58:56
  Yeah,
• 58:56
  like just a little box in the corner
• 58:58
  of the target and then you see them
• 59:00
  shooting and then you can tell.
• 59:02
  Yep.
• 59:07
  That would have been cool to see.
• 59:07
  Yeah.
• 59:08
  Shana asks,
• 59:08
  how do these counters even work?
• 59:10
  And, and understand answers it.
• 59:12
  Someone sits and watches the judges and
• 59:14
  taps on an app on a phone.
• 59:16
  Usually.
• 59:19
  Yeah.
• 59:19
  A lot of times you'll see like the
• 59:20
  judge do a, like a, an out,
• 59:23
  like when you're on a machine and that's
• 59:25
  for what they count a rep.
• 59:27
  And then there's someone on a phone,
• 59:28
  like tapping every time that happens.
• 59:31
  We just scored again.
• 59:36
  what's the score uh thirteen to seven
• 59:39
  looks like they just got a touchdown so
• 59:41
  see what they lions are winning yep okay
• 59:48
  uh so anyway um
• 59:54
  The last thing I want to say is,
• 59:56
  again, I love the jerseys.
• 59:58
  I love that they get to pick their
• 59:59
  numbers.
• 1:00:00
  And in the behind-the-scenes,
• 1:00:01
  you actually see why they picked the
• 1:00:03
  numbers they picked.
• 1:00:04
  I was wondering that.
• 1:00:08
  If anyone was going to ask why they
• 1:00:09
  picked their numbers.
• 1:00:10
  Tia, I know she's signed things.
• 1:00:12
  That's her game's number.
• 1:00:13
  That's the year she won.
• 1:00:14
  But I was wondering why this person chose
• 1:00:17
  that number.
• 1:00:17
  So that's in the behind-the-scenes.
• 1:00:18
  That's good.
• 1:00:19
  I'll have to look at that.
• 1:00:20
  Are they like their old soccer or football
• 1:00:22
  number?
• 1:00:23
  whatever was complicated.
• 1:00:24
  I didn't even understand it.
• 1:00:26
  He was trying to explain it to Hopper
• 1:00:27
  and Hopper was just like giving him shit.
• 1:00:30
  And so it, it just,
• 1:00:32
  and I think Hopper picked twenty three
• 1:00:33
  because of MJ.
• 1:00:34
  Okay.
• 1:00:34
  That's what I figured.
• 1:00:38
  So, yeah, but,
• 1:00:40
  but Hopper thought he was cool with the
• 1:00:42
  double zero and Hopper's going,
• 1:00:44
  nothing's cooler than twenty three because
• 1:00:45
  it's MJ's number.
• 1:00:47
  And, you know,
• 1:00:48
  they're going back and forth and
• 1:00:51
  I hate the double zero and zero in
• 1:00:52
  sports.
• 1:00:53
  Yeah.
• 1:00:54
  But they're everywhere now.
• 1:00:57
  But anyway, I just thought that was cool.
• 1:01:01
  So I do have some factor fiction for
• 1:01:02
  you guys.
• 1:01:09
  Pat picked Dallin's double zero as a joke.
• 1:01:12
  I think Pat said he was going to
• 1:01:13
  get him a half.
• 1:01:15
  It was going to be like the fraction
• 1:01:16
  one half, I think is what Dallin said.
• 1:01:19
  And then he ended up with double zero.
• 1:01:23
  Um, so we have factor fiction.
• 1:01:28
  Are you ready?
• 1:01:28
  Yeah.
• 1:01:30
  Factor fiction is the service cup getting
• 1:01:33
  lost in all the CrossFit news and off
• 1:01:36
  season events.
• 1:01:41
  Fact.
• 1:01:41
  I think it's always,
• 1:01:42
  it always should have just been what it
• 1:01:44
  was always before.
• 1:01:45
  Like,
• 1:01:47
  in the open that's when actually all the
• 1:01:49
  service members are doing it and then you
• 1:01:51
  just see who's the top teacher who's the
• 1:01:53
  top based off your educator because not
• 1:01:55
  everyone from the service from these
• 1:01:57
  services do the the service cup like it's
• 1:01:59
  an additional weekend like i i like that
• 1:02:02
  it's special but like this should be more
• 1:02:03
  like the finals or something but yeah it's
• 1:02:08
  lost there there wasn't too much promotion
• 1:02:10
  of it uh same with the community cup
• 1:02:14
  though
• 1:02:15
  What Service Cup?
• 1:02:17
  Yeah,
• 1:02:17
  I think the CUNY Cup has already died.
• 1:02:20
  With the quarterfinals coming back,
• 1:02:21
  I think it's done.
• 1:02:23
  But the Service Cup, I think,
• 1:02:24
  does mean something.
• 1:02:27
  CrossFit was founded in the military,
• 1:02:30
  mostly,
• 1:02:30
  and it's a way to pay homage to
• 1:02:33
  all of that.
• 1:02:35
  And I really think that they've...
• 1:02:38
  I like that it's its own thing now,
• 1:02:40
  and there's a finals,
• 1:02:41
  and people can truly compete if they want
• 1:02:43
  to.
• 1:02:44
  I think that's tough, though.
• 1:02:46
  The finals.
• 1:02:47
  And I love that.
• 1:02:47
  I love the idea of it.
• 1:02:50
  I think it's tough to do the finals
• 1:02:52
  in person with people all around the
• 1:02:53
  world.
• 1:02:55
  And then you're not doing it by yourself.
• 1:02:56
  You're teaming up with someone else that
• 1:03:01
  you don't know from your.
• 1:03:03
  Do we know that they're keeping it this
• 1:03:04
  year?
• 1:03:05
  Yeah, they are.
• 1:03:06
  It's at Mayhem.
• 1:03:08
  I know that's how they did it last
• 1:03:10
  year.
• 1:03:10
  I thought they were changing it to an
• 1:03:12
  individual competition for the finals this
• 1:03:15
  year.
• 1:03:18
  Part of me likes the idea of that
• 1:03:20
  and just kind of meeting someone and
• 1:03:22
  you're trying to beat the other type of
• 1:03:25
  service.
• 1:03:27
  But I just think I don't know how
• 1:03:29
  many people will travel for that.
• 1:03:32
  Yeah.
• 1:03:34
  I don't know what happened last year.
• 1:03:36
  I guess mayhem did it.
• 1:03:38
  I'm sure they have a video of it
• 1:03:39
  somewhere.
• 1:03:41
  We can go see how many people showed
• 1:03:42
  up.
• 1:03:43
  But I do, I'd like to, if,
• 1:03:45
  even if you have to go down the
• 1:03:46
  ranks a little bit to get it full,
• 1:03:48
  I think it's pretty much,
• 1:03:50
  it's a cool idea.
• 1:03:52
  And if they give them,
• 1:03:54
  what I think would be even cooler is
• 1:03:56
  because it's in these fields.
• 1:03:58
  If they gave you a stipend to come.
• 1:04:00
  Yeah.
• 1:04:00
  Now we're talking.
• 1:04:00
  Now we're talking.
• 1:04:08
  Yes, Mayhem is programmed with everything.
• 1:04:12
  Yeah.
• 1:04:13
  Actually,
• 1:04:14
  Mayhem was doing their own service cup
• 1:04:17
  called the Everyday Heroes.
• 1:04:20
  And rather than compete against each
• 1:04:22
  other,
• 1:04:22
  they decided to partner together
• 1:04:25
  So in this case,
• 1:04:27
  it actually makes sense to partner
• 1:04:29
  together and let them do that.
• 1:04:31
  But I think Dave said that like rich
• 1:04:33
  program, like he let rich program,
• 1:04:35
  like even though like CrossFit is saying
• 1:04:40
  that they were together,
• 1:04:41
  like it's still like they have programmed
• 1:04:44
  it.
• 1:04:44
  Like I think he just signed off on
• 1:04:45
  it.
• 1:04:46
  Yeah.
• 1:04:46
  Angelo does their everyday heroes
• 1:04:49
  programming like daily.
• 1:04:51
  And I think he's, so he's doing it.
• 1:04:53
  Cool.
• 1:05:00
  tier should add armed services team teams
• 1:05:03
  and do the event in between the elites
• 1:05:07
  I think that makes that then you lose
• 1:05:08
  your ninety minute chunk that's digestible
• 1:05:13
  and there were really no breaks in between
• 1:05:14
  the elites no they went bang bang bang
• 1:05:17
  and those three events every night I like
• 1:05:22
  the format of that I guess you're you're
• 1:05:24
  saying that no elites can be these service
• 1:05:25
  members
• 1:05:29
  yeah that would be uh i think a
• 1:05:31
  lot of them can and if you look
• 1:05:32
  in the history of crossfit there's a lot
• 1:05:35
  that have been elite and service that's
• 1:05:38
  what i'm saying so he can't do that
• 1:05:41
  all right number two factor fiction the
• 1:05:44
  tear cup is better than what the
• 1:05:46
  invitational was fiction fiction i love
• 1:05:50
  the invitational fiction
• 1:05:52
  I mean, I think that's what it's missing.
• 1:05:53
  Like,
• 1:05:54
  I would like to see at least three
• 1:05:56
  teams, if not four.
• 1:05:58
  Yes.
• 1:05:58
  And if Tier Cup could do that and
• 1:06:01
  make it like the Invitational,
• 1:06:04
  it'd be incredible.
• 1:06:05
  Yeah.
• 1:06:06
  No, I mean, it's a very similar idea.
• 1:06:12
  Very short windows.
• 1:06:13
  Like, the Invitational is like that, too.
• 1:06:15
  But, no, those four teams, like USA,
• 1:06:19
  Canada...
• 1:06:20
  What was it?
• 1:06:21
  Australia and Europe.
• 1:06:23
  Like that was, that was prime.
• 1:06:29
  I say it's fact.
• 1:06:31
  I think they're getting better than what
• 1:06:34
  the invitationals were from a programming
• 1:06:36
  standpoint and a viewability standpoint.
• 1:06:39
  I think we romanticize what we think we
• 1:06:41
  saw in the, in the past.
• 1:06:44
  And because last year they didn't have two
• 1:06:45
  equal teams,
• 1:06:47
  adding two more teams like an Australia,
• 1:06:49
  a Canada,
• 1:06:50
  a Europe and a North America or a
• 1:06:52
  United States would have made it a better
• 1:06:55
  watch.
• 1:06:56
  I'm okay with adding more teams to it.
• 1:06:57
  Okay.
• 1:06:59
  But you're asking right now if the tier
• 1:07:01
  cup is better.
• 1:07:02
  And our answer is fiction.
• 1:07:04
  If you're saying we're going to add three
• 1:07:06
  teams or two, four,
• 1:07:07
  like four teams to the tier cup,
• 1:07:09
  then that's, then that's different.
• 1:07:11
  I wasn't saying that, though.
• 1:07:12
  I was saying that I think it is
• 1:07:14
  more enjoyable viewing experience.
• 1:07:17
  One,
• 1:07:17
  it's three days of digestible content,
• 1:07:20
  and it builds suspense over those three
• 1:07:22
  days.
• 1:07:23
  The Invitational was one two-hour block.
• 1:07:26
  And it was done after that.
• 1:07:29
  So there wasn't even time for you to
• 1:07:31
  like build suspense.
• 1:07:33
  Like when it ended Saturday night and it
• 1:07:35
  was one point difference going into the
• 1:07:37
  last day,
• 1:07:38
  that built suspense to the next day.
• 1:07:40
  I was excited to come back.
• 1:07:42
  I actually find it more enjoyable than
• 1:07:45
  what the Invitational was.
• 1:07:47
  And I love those old Invitational events.
• 1:07:51
  But I really love Tear Cup this year.
• 1:07:53
  I thought they did a great job with
• 1:07:56
  it this year.
• 1:07:56
  Yeah, I really liked it this year.
• 1:07:58
  Yeah, it's getting there,
• 1:08:00
  and I will agree the multi-day aspect
• 1:08:04
  brings a little bit of extra hype around
• 1:08:05
  it.
• 1:08:06
  I just think they need at least another
• 1:08:08
  team in there.
• 1:08:10
  What would have happened if Alexis was
• 1:08:12
  actually injured?
• 1:08:13
  How bad would the weekend have been if
• 1:08:16
  Alexis was injured with two teams?
• 1:08:19
  That's where you have to think about.
• 1:08:21
  It has to be more, or...
• 1:08:23
  Like,
• 1:08:24
  when you kind of couldn't change the
• 1:08:27
  teammates, I was like, oh, well, you know,
• 1:08:29
  who's there that could replace Alexis?
• 1:08:31
  Would they replace her with Annika,
• 1:08:32
  who was there?
• 1:08:34
  Wolf, I think, was there.
• 1:08:37
  Hattie.
• 1:08:37
  Yeah, like,
• 1:08:37
  would you have been able to replace?
• 1:08:40
  Or are you stuck with that team because
• 1:08:41
  you have, you know, seven other members?
• 1:08:44
  But they're lucky that Alexis was able to
• 1:08:48
  continue on because had she not been able
• 1:08:51
  to, like, that would have been... Right.
• 1:08:54
  way out of hand for world and that's
• 1:08:57
  what we were kind of like hoping that
• 1:08:58
  it wasn't going to get to that point
• 1:09:00
  like when you saw her do this like
• 1:09:01
  the eighty five pound statue like oh gosh
• 1:09:03
  i hope that this will continue being a
• 1:09:05
  good weekend because this is going to suck
• 1:09:07
  if if this is if they're going to
• 1:09:09
  be like this and they're on a four
• 1:09:10
  person deadlift and she can't lift and i
• 1:09:13
  was like oh no but thankfully she was
• 1:09:16
  able to be good yeah i
• 1:09:22
  again it's not like a hill i'm willing
• 1:09:25
  to die on but i do think it's
• 1:09:26
  getting it it has grown so quickly and
• 1:09:29
  so well i think right now it's a
• 1:09:31
  more a better viewing experience than what
• 1:09:34
  now if it was on at eight o'clock
• 1:09:35
  our time even better agree yeah i'd even
• 1:09:41
  take nine or ten like eleven is just
• 1:09:44
  too getting too late
• 1:09:46
  The teams walked around at the venue and
• 1:09:47
  did some meet and greet,
• 1:09:49
  lots of interactions with the crowd.
• 1:09:50
  The group of athletes made it very
• 1:09:52
  entertaining.
• 1:09:57
  If they break it up into more teams
• 1:09:58
  like the Invitational,
• 1:10:00
  no way can they fill an eight-person
• 1:10:01
  roster across evenly.
• 1:10:04
  That's probably a good point, too.
• 1:10:05
  I don't know.
• 1:10:06
  I don't know.
• 1:10:07
  I think they could.
• 1:10:11
  And maybe it's only three teams.
• 1:10:13
  I don't know,
• 1:10:14
  but I definitely think you could get, I,
• 1:10:17
  there was some, and,
• 1:10:20
  and maybe that's just by,
• 1:10:21
  just by splitting us and North America and
• 1:10:23
  Canada.
• 1:10:25
  And then like, you're up in Australia.
• 1:10:29
  If you like,
• 1:10:30
  you still are missing so many Europeans
• 1:10:32
  right now.
• 1:10:33
  Yeah.
• 1:10:33
  I think,
• 1:10:33
  I think Europe and Australia is stronger
• 1:10:35
  than Canada right now.
• 1:10:38
  And the women, I think Canada's strong.
• 1:10:41
  It's the men.
• 1:10:42
  Yeah.
• 1:10:44
  Just because Brent's retired.
• 1:10:49
  Jeff.
• 1:10:52
  Yeah,
• 1:10:52
  but we don't know what's going on with
• 1:10:53
  Jeff.
• 1:10:56
  I think Canada's pretty good.
• 1:10:59
  Give me two other men.
• 1:11:00
  Yeah.
• 1:11:02
  They're all old.
• 1:11:05
  I'm trying to think of who's coming up
• 1:11:06
  for Canada.
• 1:11:08
  I mean, if you gave us Pat and...
• 1:11:10
  I guess you have...
• 1:11:13
  What's his face from Mayhem?
• 1:11:15
  Sam Cornway.
• 1:11:17
  Sam Cornway.
• 1:11:19
  He has some great skill work.
• 1:11:20
  Yeah.
• 1:11:23
  So maybe you could do it.
• 1:11:25
  But I think it's something that you could
• 1:11:26
  do every, like, two years or something.
• 1:11:31
  Like the highlight, just to...
• 1:11:35
  farlo he would be yeah he'd be your
• 1:11:37
  little geek right yeah who farlo would be
• 1:11:41
  a good canadian to throw on an event
• 1:11:43
  like that i yep someone to give him
• 1:11:46
  a run for his money yep farlo jeff
• 1:11:48
  pat brent cornway emma lawson rolf annika
• 1:11:55
  hattie like there's a lot there's a lot
• 1:11:57
  of good canadians yeah there are
• 1:12:01
  Fact or fiction?
• 1:12:02
  Because of recent follow through,
• 1:12:04
  we can start to trust CrossFit HQ.
• 1:12:08
  Fiction.
• 1:12:09
  It's still too soon for me.
• 1:12:13
  Recent follow through with what?
• 1:12:15
  Just like the new marketing campaign,
• 1:12:20
  Dave's showing up at Tear Cup,
• 1:12:23
  the early release of the season structure,
• 1:12:26
  all the things we've been asking for,
• 1:12:29
  they seem to be following through for the
• 1:12:31
  first time.
• 1:12:31
  Yeah, not yet.
• 1:12:34
  More time.
• 1:12:37
  Not yet.
• 1:12:37
  That's what I'm up to.
• 1:12:38
  Until...
• 1:12:40
  Gosh,
• 1:12:40
  until we know what's going on with the
• 1:12:41
  sale, for me,
• 1:12:43
  it's just way too much in the air
• 1:12:45
  for me.
• 1:12:46
  The way they're moving forward tells me
• 1:12:49
  they know way more about the sale than
• 1:12:50
  we do.
• 1:12:53
  And I don't like that.
• 1:12:57
  Train Olive, Fiction, not yet.
• 1:13:00
  Denise, nope.
• 1:13:00
  Yeah.
• 1:13:06
  um so yeah yeah i just yeah i'm
• 1:13:10
  with you guys i'm happy with the direction
• 1:13:13
  it's going the fact that we know a
• 1:13:15
  season structure in september is like a
• 1:13:19
  revelation but i need it more consistent
• 1:13:22
  yeah yeah they're taking some critiques it
• 1:13:26
  seems like i'll give them that they're
• 1:13:31
  And maybe WFP has caused a little bit
• 1:13:34
  of this, a little more transparency.
• 1:13:36
  Yeah,
• 1:13:36
  you put some pressure on the organization,
• 1:13:40
  which is what we talked about initially.
• 1:13:42
  Competition will force you to make
• 1:13:48
  adjustments and to look in a mirror and
• 1:13:51
  see how you can get better because people
• 1:13:53
  will have other options.
• 1:13:55
  And I think that you're going to start
• 1:13:56
  seeing that.
• 1:13:59
  I was trying to get through a show
• 1:14:00
  without saying WFP.
• 1:14:01
  Sorry.
• 1:14:02
  Because I've been dogging on them so bad
• 1:14:04
  the last week or so.
• 1:14:06
  Giving them praise.
• 1:14:10
  Even when I do that, it's... I know.
• 1:14:13
  All right.
• 1:14:14
  Last one.
• 1:14:14
  Fact or fiction.
• 1:14:16
  CrossFit should have a garage affiliate
• 1:14:18
  option at a reduced rate for those wanting
• 1:14:21
  to affiliate their garage gyms.
• 1:14:27
  It's just, it's a tough, like,
• 1:14:29
  I like it.
• 1:14:29
  I love it.
• 1:14:31
  Of course.
• 1:14:31
  I'd like to, you know,
• 1:14:35
  affiliate my little kitchen gym here.
• 1:14:39
  But it's like, at what point does like,
• 1:14:40
  what, how do you control that?
• 1:14:42
  Like,
• 1:14:43
  what's the size that it needs to be?
• 1:14:45
  Like, how many members?
• 1:14:46
  I think it's really hard to regulate.
• 1:14:52
  Right?
• 1:14:53
  Am I wrong thinking that?
• 1:14:54
  No, I can see some.
• 1:14:56
  It's like,
• 1:14:57
  why would some bigger one pay forty five
• 1:14:59
  hundred and then this one?
• 1:15:01
  I think the cost needs to go down
• 1:15:02
  regardless.
• 1:15:02
  I think the forty five hundred is way
• 1:15:05
  too much.
• 1:15:06
  Bring it back down.
• 1:15:07
  But you can't have like a garage gym
• 1:15:10
  affiliation for like five hundred bucks
• 1:15:12
  and then the other ones all pay forty
• 1:15:17
  five hundred or something.
• 1:15:18
  What kind of price are you thinking?
• 1:15:21
  So what's been speculated on the weekend
• 1:15:23
  reviews and through comments has been like
• 1:15:27
  a thousand dollars to affiliate a garage.
• 1:15:30
  And what do you get?
• 1:15:31
  Like the cat programming,
• 1:15:33
  like the same type of tool,
• 1:15:34
  affiliate tool kit that you get.
• 1:15:37
  Okay.
• 1:15:38
  So my,
• 1:15:39
  I have an answer for this kind of
• 1:15:41
  in this same vein,
• 1:15:42
  because I feel like there should be a,
• 1:15:44
  I almost feel like a garage gym.
• 1:15:46
  Like you can prove it's your home.
• 1:15:49
  I don't know how maybe you send in
• 1:15:51
  your mortgage and this is your home.
• 1:15:53
  And if it's truly your garage gym and
• 1:15:54
  it's like, whatever, cheap, five hundred,
• 1:15:58
  whatever.
• 1:16:00
  But I feel like they need a.
• 1:16:03
  Like a non.
• 1:16:05
  I don't even know how like a like
• 1:16:08
  a season, like a CrossFit season.
• 1:16:10
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:16:12
  affiliation almost just that doesn't gift
• 1:16:16
  you like some of the toolkit maybe not
• 1:16:18
  on the map maybe not on um get
• 1:16:21
  no cap programming none of the like like
• 1:16:24
  literally just able to do the crossfit
• 1:16:27
  season and maybe that's the two thousand
• 1:16:30
  or whatever the proposal i heard was you
• 1:16:32
  don't go on the map yeah um i
• 1:16:38
  think you still get like the cap
• 1:16:39
  programming for the grand but
• 1:16:46
  mean i think that a lot more people
• 1:16:49
  would affiliate if it was like five
• 1:16:50
  hundred bucks like you would get way way
• 1:16:53
  way more than you would with their forty
• 1:16:57
  five hundred like there's just so many
• 1:16:58
  people that are like like oh yeah that's
• 1:17:00
  an extra five hundred bucks in a month
• 1:17:02
  and but there's some big gyms out there
• 1:17:05
  that probably shouldn't be paying forty
• 1:17:07
  five hundred i totally agree
• 1:17:10
  So do you think it should go by
• 1:17:12
  members?
• 1:17:13
  It doesn't know how many members they
• 1:17:17
  have, and they've never tracked that.
• 1:17:22
  And it seems to be a bone of
• 1:17:23
  contention with the affiliates to HQ.
• 1:17:26
  I can see that.
• 1:17:27
  Do you want to give them your members
• 1:17:28
  list?
• 1:17:29
  Do you want to give them access to
• 1:17:30
  your Wattify or whatever?
• 1:17:31
  I mean,
• 1:17:32
  I feel like CrossFit would almost have to
• 1:17:34
  –
• 1:17:38
  I almost feel like CrossFit would have to
• 1:17:40
  take over or partner with, like,
• 1:17:44
  Wattify or PushPress or somebody,
• 1:17:46
  and that would be the affiliate.
• 1:17:48
  Like,
• 1:17:48
  you'd have to use that as an affiliate.
• 1:17:50
  Like, be on the whiteboard?
• 1:17:53
  Or be on the whiteboard, yeah.
• 1:17:54
  Like, pick one.
• 1:17:56
  Pick one that's good.
• 1:17:58
  Be on the whiteboard.
• 1:17:58
  That's my plug.
• 1:18:01
  And then that way they'd see your number
• 1:18:05
  of members, right?
• 1:18:09
  Um, and yeah, or maybe they see your,
• 1:18:13
  maybe they see your general income.
• 1:18:16
  Um, I don't know,
• 1:18:18
  like maybe it needs to be a percent
• 1:18:19
  of that.
• 1:18:22
  Yeah.
• 1:18:23
  Um,
• 1:18:23
  I think it might be tough to get.
• 1:18:25
  I know Jim would cook the books for
• 1:18:26
  sure.
• 1:18:27
  I think someone on Pedro's show,
• 1:18:30
  the Around the Whiteboard show,
• 1:18:31
  proposed that if you do a garage
• 1:18:34
  affiliate,
• 1:18:34
  you have to get a ring doorbell camera
• 1:18:37
  and put in the gym so that CrossFit
• 1:18:40
  can see at any moment that it is
• 1:18:43
  a garage and that it is...
• 1:18:45
  They might be seeing other things at any
• 1:18:46
  moment.
• 1:18:46
  I don't think that...
• 1:18:47
  I don't think that's a good idea.
• 1:18:51
  Okay.
• 1:18:55
  I'm just saying.
• 1:18:56
  Didn't think we were going there,
• 1:18:57
  but okay.
• 1:18:58
  I'm just saying.
• 1:19:07
  You know,
• 1:19:07
  we talk about they trust the athletes to
• 1:19:14
  do the workouts as they're supposed to be
• 1:19:17
  done in the open and quarterfinals.
• 1:19:19
  And at some point,
• 1:19:21
  you got to have some trust.
• 1:19:24
  Because people are going to cook the
• 1:19:25
  books.
• 1:19:25
  They do it in business all over the
• 1:19:27
  place.
• 1:19:27
  Right.
• 1:19:27
  We're going to have those people do it.
• 1:19:29
  But should you take it away because a
• 1:19:31
  few people are going to abuse it?
• 1:19:35
  I think it's a cool option.
• 1:19:38
  Especially when I found out what Jamie
• 1:19:40
  went through last year in the open when
• 1:19:42
  she was trying to find an affiliate just
• 1:19:43
  to get her workouts in.
• 1:19:45
  And people didn't want to welcome her
• 1:19:50
  because she wasn't with an affiliate.
• 1:19:53
  And that's so against kind of the
• 1:19:57
  community of CrossFit.
• 1:19:59
  I just think you could pay like,
• 1:20:02
  you know,
• 1:20:02
  a five or a thousand dollars at most
• 1:20:05
  a thousand.
• 1:20:05
  If you want to wave the CrossFit flag,
• 1:20:07
  if you want to be able to use
• 1:20:08
  the CrossFit name for your gym and you're
• 1:20:11
  proud to, you know, have that.
• 1:20:14
  I just don't think that it needs to
• 1:20:15
  be what it is in price.
• 1:20:18
  Right.
• 1:20:20
  I think...
• 1:20:23
  Yeah,
• 1:20:23
  I think this was like a thousand dollars
• 1:20:24
  or less.
• 1:20:25
  Yeah.
• 1:20:26
  Just to affiliate your garage.
• 1:20:29
  That's a lot for a garage.
• 1:20:30
  I would do like five hundred.
• 1:20:31
  I would do five hundred for a garage.
• 1:20:33
  Like if I'm thinking of like a regular
• 1:20:35
  garage gym,
• 1:20:36
  like not like a Emma McQuaid type garage
• 1:20:40
  gym or like an aerial garage gym,
• 1:20:43
  like the building.
• 1:20:46
  Just on your property does not make it
• 1:20:49
  a garage.
• 1:20:50
  No cars are being parked in that garage.
• 1:20:54
  But like a.
• 1:20:57
  Five hundred bucks to wave the flag like
• 1:21:00
  I think that they would get so many
• 1:21:01
  people at that five hundred bucks.
• 1:21:05
  And that would be way like so much
• 1:21:07
  additional income for CrossFit just by
• 1:21:09
  just doing that.
• 1:21:10
  The amount of people that would do it
• 1:21:11
  for that.
• 1:21:12
  Oh, I'm sure.
• 1:21:14
  Five hundred a year.
• 1:21:14
  I think that would be a great deal
• 1:21:16
  for.
• 1:21:17
  To be able to use the name and
• 1:21:19
  wave the flag.
• 1:21:21
  Train all of what else do people do
• 1:21:22
  in their garages?
• 1:21:25
  woodworking auto repair.
• 1:21:35
  So that's fact or fiction for this week.
• 1:21:37
  Now for like the sneaky big news.
• 1:21:41
  CrossFit also announced this week,
• 1:21:43
  and I will share my screen a partnership
• 1:21:47
  with the Air National Guard.
• 1:21:53
  For the first time ever,
• 1:21:55
  a non-apparel company or shoe company is
• 1:21:58
  going to be the presenting sponsor for the
• 1:22:00
  CrossFit Open in twenty twenty six.
• 1:22:04
  And that is going to be the Air
• 1:22:05
  National Guard.
• 1:22:08
  In addition to partnering for the
• 1:22:11
  sponsorship of the Open,
• 1:22:14
  I believe it said in the press release
• 1:22:16
  that they would do eight activations
• 1:22:19
  throughout the year as a presenting
• 1:22:21
  sponsor.
• 1:22:23
  My question to you is,
• 1:22:25
  or my hope is if this is going
• 1:22:28
  to be something to compete with high rocks
• 1:22:32
  as a traveling activation,
• 1:22:35
  where maybe like we talked about in the
• 1:22:36
  past where they pick a really cool
• 1:22:39
  CrossFit workout and they travel to eight
• 1:22:42
  different cities and you can come sign up
• 1:22:45
  and do the workout kind of gauntlet style,
• 1:22:47
  like what a Palooza,
• 1:22:49
  like three benchmarks back to back or
• 1:22:50
  something.
• 1:22:53
  whatever that workout is.
• 1:22:54
  I mean,
• 1:22:56
  anything probably that we probably within
• 1:22:58
  an hour timeframe,
• 1:22:59
  cause that's what an IROX is.
• 1:23:01
  And you do that and you have a
• 1:23:03
  worldwide leaderboard from those eight
• 1:23:05
  cities.
• 1:23:07
  And you see like,
• 1:23:08
  who's the best in the world coming to
• 1:23:10
  this event.
• 1:23:12
  And we have one in Chicago and we
• 1:23:14
  have one in San Francisco and we have
• 1:23:15
  one in Philadelphia and we have one in
• 1:23:18
  Paris and whatever.
• 1:23:20
  Right.
• 1:23:21
  And then all these are done and we
• 1:23:24
  have a worldwide leaderboard.
• 1:23:25
  I think, I hope that's what that is.
• 1:23:32
  I don't think that's what it is.
• 1:23:33
  I don't think it is either,
• 1:23:34
  but that would be a great idea.
• 1:23:40
  It's just a sponsor for the Open.
• 1:23:42
  I'm just confused with what it is.
• 1:23:43
  It's just a sponsor for the Open.
• 1:23:45
  That's not a shoe or a clothing brand.
• 1:23:47
  And then with some activation stuff,
• 1:23:49
  like some partnership stuff.
• 1:23:51
  But a traveling activation.
• 1:23:55
  They've never done that before.
• 1:23:58
  Where they've traveled to eight different
• 1:23:59
  places to do...
• 1:24:02
  But is it like a seminar?
• 1:24:03
  Is it like the, you know,
• 1:24:04
  like at the games,
• 1:24:05
  they always have like affiliate gathering
• 1:24:07
  stuff.
• 1:24:08
  Like,
• 1:24:08
  is it just one of those that just,
• 1:24:09
  there's no details on it.
• 1:24:11
  I feel like that's exactly what it is.
• 1:24:12
  They're going to have their booth.
• 1:24:13
  They're going to have a little thing at
• 1:24:16
  the, uh,
• 1:24:17
  five in-person semifinals here and
• 1:24:20
  probably some couple in europe and that's
• 1:24:22
  their eight activations don't bring me
• 1:24:24
  down i just i mean that's what i
• 1:24:26
  get from it i love your idea and
• 1:24:29
  maybe if they hear this maybe they can
• 1:24:30
  think about actually programming something
• 1:24:33
  to do at their booth that makes sense
• 1:24:36
  that can carry over from each of these
• 1:24:42
  every event already scheduled then that's
• 1:24:45
  just dumb
• 1:24:46
  What did they do?
• 1:24:46
  Was it the air?
• 1:24:47
  Was it the Air Force or whatever that
• 1:24:50
  what did chase just do the five hundred
• 1:24:52
  meter row?
• 1:24:52
  I don't know.
• 1:24:55
  Well, here's something to fifty.
• 1:24:56
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:24:58
  Two to two hundred fifty meters in that
• 1:25:01
  booth.
• 1:25:01
  Like if they can come up with something
• 1:25:04
  that I mean,
• 1:25:05
  I would like it more involved in that
• 1:25:06
  personally,
• 1:25:07
  like I would like it to see it
• 1:25:08
  be like.
• 1:25:10
  A five hundred meter row.
• 1:25:13
  muscle ups and, and I don't know,
• 1:25:14
  like hydraulics,
• 1:25:16
  it brings all these people to a,
• 1:25:20
  a location to do this big event.
• 1:25:22
  Why can't we do something similar?
• 1:25:25
  I don't want to be just a carnival
• 1:25:27
  booth, um, at the local fair.
• 1:25:30
  But I think they are going to be
• 1:25:31
  a carnival booth.
• 1:25:31
  Like,
• 1:25:32
  I don't think they're going to have the,
• 1:25:35
  I mean, I don't know,
• 1:25:35
  maybe they work something out where they
• 1:25:36
  have more floor space,
• 1:25:37
  but I think that's asking a lot like
• 1:25:41
  to, um,
• 1:25:42
  to set up an event floor.
• 1:25:43
  I don't think they're set up for that,
• 1:25:46
  nor do they know how to run it
• 1:25:48
  or have the money to do it.
• 1:25:50
  Yeah.
• 1:25:50
  Yeah.
• 1:25:52
  It's just a meet and greet.
• 1:25:53
  It's eight meet and greets, Scott.
• 1:25:57
  But Vicky's right.
• 1:26:00
  I'm hoping it's more of a random eight
• 1:26:02
  activations to try to drive more people to
• 1:26:03
  CrossFit that aren't into CrossFit.
• 1:26:05
  It gives just like high rocks.
• 1:26:07
  People didn't know what that was.
• 1:26:09
  It's a CrossFit workout.
• 1:26:11
  It should be,
• 1:26:12
  but because it's called High Rocks,
• 1:26:13
  not CrossFit,
• 1:26:14
  it's not driving people to the right
• 1:26:15
  place.
• 1:26:19
  If CrossFit wants to drive people to the
• 1:26:20
  affiliates,
• 1:26:21
  they need to do something similar with the
• 1:26:24
  CrossFit flag.
• 1:26:27
  And you charge people to come do it
• 1:26:28
  just like they do with High Rocks,
• 1:26:30
  just like a five K, just like whatever.
• 1:26:38
  Yeah,
• 1:26:39
  but this is going to be in an
• 1:26:42
  event that people have already paid to be
• 1:26:44
  at.
• 1:26:45
  No, it doesn't have to be that.
• 1:26:47
  Nobody said it's an existing event.
• 1:26:50
  Oh, it totally is.
• 1:26:52
  You know it is.
• 1:26:54
  They're my dreams.
• 1:26:57
  Do you think that they have something
• 1:26:58
  that's planned that's huge?
• 1:27:00
  We don't even know the season.
• 1:27:03
  They're not planning to do eight thingies
• 1:27:05
  like High Rock.
• 1:27:06
  The amount of planning that you would need
• 1:27:07
  to do to plan is crazy.
• 1:27:09
  This would be already out in the open.
• 1:27:12
  You would have to.
• 1:27:15
  I love your idea.
• 1:27:18
  I mean, yeah,
• 1:27:19
  if they took our gauntlet idea and picked
• 1:27:21
  one of our workouts and did it,
• 1:27:22
  love it.
• 1:27:23
  This is just like activation.
• 1:27:25
  Yeah, just talk about CrossFit community.
• 1:27:29
  Oh, well.
• 1:27:31
  Yeah, it's a lot.
• 1:27:32
  And then it's a sponsor for the Open,
• 1:27:35
  but not necessarily the games.
• 1:27:37
  Not the game.
• 1:27:39
  All right.
• 1:27:39
  It also came out that CrossFit is
• 1:27:42
  partnering with Wadapalooza for the
• 1:27:43
  announcement of twenty six point three.
• 1:27:46
  Another one of those things that I never
• 1:27:47
  thought I would see happen again.
• 1:27:50
  I feel like you knew that the open
• 1:27:56
  workout was going to be done at
• 1:27:57
  Wadapalooza.
• 1:27:58
  I didn't know that it was going to
• 1:28:00
  get announced day one and that was going
• 1:28:01
  to be the first event to open up
• 1:28:04
  Wadapalooza.
• 1:28:05
  I just assumed that because you knew the
• 1:28:08
  open was going on that weekend and you
• 1:28:11
  can't ruin these people's
• 1:28:14
  shot at Lakey.
• 1:28:15
  Has CrossFit ever cared if they ruined
• 1:28:18
  these people's weekend?
• 1:28:19
  They care.
• 1:28:21
  Well, I'm not saying that.
• 1:28:23
  I am surprised that CrossFit chose to
• 1:28:26
  partner with them to announce it there and
• 1:28:28
  set it up there.
• 1:28:29
  But I assumed all along when we knew
• 1:28:30
  when Wadapalooza was that one of the
• 1:28:32
  workouts was point three.
• 1:28:34
  For sure.
• 1:28:36
  Didn't Torian Pro like the one workout
• 1:28:40
  that had I think it's twenty point
• 1:28:46
  Three or four, something like that.
• 1:28:48
  Rolling, a hundred and twenty cows roll.
• 1:28:51
  or a hundred, I don't know,
• 1:28:52
  the hundred twenty cal,
• 1:28:56
  the forty ring muscle ups and the hundred,
• 1:28:59
  I don't know, wall ball, cal row,
• 1:29:01
  and muscle up,
• 1:29:02
  the one that you could choose your own
• 1:29:03
  adventure from the open.
• 1:29:04
  Torian Pro,
• 1:29:05
  they did it as one of their workouts
• 1:29:07
  there.
• 1:29:07
  I think another competition did it.
• 1:29:09
  I think it was in the twenty twenty
• 1:29:10
  season.
• 1:29:12
  So it's already been done before,
• 1:29:13
  just not the main announcement.
• 1:29:14
  Right.
• 1:29:15
  What makes me curious is like when these
• 1:29:18
  programmers all know the workouts in
• 1:29:20
  advance.
• 1:29:23
  You have the whole Waterpalooza group that
• 1:29:25
  knows what the workout is.
• 1:29:26
  How many people in the community knows the
• 1:29:29
  open workout that has money on the line
• 1:29:32
  and other things?
• 1:29:32
  You have fifteen thousand dollars or
• 1:29:34
  whatever you gave for the open last year
• 1:29:36
  and you're going to have a bunch of
• 1:29:37
  people that know what that workout is.
• 1:29:39
  A lot of people know what that workout
• 1:29:40
  is as soon as it's in a big
• 1:29:42
  competition.
• 1:29:43
  I'm just saying what's going to be
• 1:29:44
  obvious.
• 1:29:45
  Yep.
• 1:29:49
  Well, on a lighter note.
• 1:29:50
  I mean, I like it.
• 1:29:51
  I think it makes sense.
• 1:29:52
  But I'm just saying there's going to be
• 1:29:54
  a lot of people that know what that
• 1:29:55
  workout is in advance.
• 1:29:58
  Since I'm always the positive one here,
• 1:30:00
  I think it's a cool partnership that we
• 1:30:02
  never thought CrossFit would do.
• 1:30:05
  I don't know if I would say I
• 1:30:06
  would never thought that they would do.
• 1:30:07
  I think it's a natural one that happens.
• 1:30:12
  I know that the competitions have done the
• 1:30:15
  open workout as part of their competition.
• 1:30:18
  I don't know that it's ever happened where
• 1:30:19
  CrossFit partnered with them to make it a
• 1:30:22
  more seamless thing.
• 1:30:24
  And with the affiliate requirement to give
• 1:30:27
  a waiver for that competition to validate
• 1:30:30
  them on site,
• 1:30:32
  I think is a big step.
• 1:30:34
  Yeah.
• 1:30:34
  I think that's risky because, I mean,
• 1:30:38
  maybe they know.
• 1:30:39
  It's less risky than having them do it
• 1:30:41
  on their own.
• 1:30:42
  At least there's a judge on the floor.
• 1:30:46
  Yeah.
• 1:30:48
  since when has that mattered it's better
• 1:30:51
  than nothing I mean but then again it's
• 1:30:54
  waterpalooza if it's raining outside and
• 1:30:57
  all of a sudden they can't do that
• 1:30:58
  workout and they have to switch it the
• 1:31:03
  negativity in this place right now from
• 1:31:05
  you two
• 1:31:08
  I think it's a great partnership, though.
• 1:31:10
  It might not be a perfect floor setup.
• 1:31:12
  And they might know that most people will
• 1:31:13
  end up redoing it because they have
• 1:31:15
  traveled to do like this movement.
• 1:31:19
  And so they don't care.
• 1:31:20
  Like, do it, take your score.
• 1:31:22
  You'll probably redo it on Monday because
• 1:31:24
  you want us to have a better setup.
• 1:31:25
  So.
• 1:31:28
  Yeah,
• 1:31:28
  because it's never the ideal setup when
• 1:31:29
  it's in a competition, that's for sure.
• 1:31:31
  But the one year they let people do
• 1:31:33
  the row,
• 1:31:33
  like their row setup however they wanted.
• 1:31:36
  And people had them,
• 1:31:37
  like I remember watching,
• 1:31:38
  they had them in a triangle format with
• 1:31:41
  the rings, the wall balls in their row.
• 1:31:44
  Like they let them be,
• 1:31:46
  do it how you want for the open.
• 1:31:48
  So I thought that was neat.
• 1:31:50
  And then I liked it as an athlete
• 1:31:52
  that you got to watch a bunch of
• 1:31:54
  athletes do it.
• 1:31:54
  I was like, yeah, okay.
• 1:31:57
  Yeah.
• 1:31:59
  Well, kudos to CrossFit on my part,
• 1:32:02
  even though there's naysayers all around
• 1:32:04
  me.
• 1:32:05
  When they got,
• 1:32:06
  when Waterpalooza moved to March,
• 1:32:08
  we kind of all figured that they had
• 1:32:10
  to,
• 1:32:10
  especially when it was like the third week
• 1:32:12
  of the Open, it made sense.
• 1:32:16
  It only made sense for them to partner
• 1:32:17
  together.
• 1:32:18
  Who's talking CrossFit here?
• 1:32:20
  They haven't always made sense.
• 1:32:23
  Like you said, they're, hey,
• 1:32:24
  they're trending.
• 1:32:25
  They are.
• 1:32:26
  They are.
• 1:32:27
  I want to give them the kudos that
• 1:32:29
  they're trending in the right direction.
• 1:32:33
  All right.
• 1:32:33
  Last thing on the agenda is Rogue has
• 1:32:37
  finished the lineup for people that are
• 1:32:41
  being invited to Rogue.
• 1:32:44
  We have seen these people already.
• 1:32:47
  We talked about the qualifiers.
• 1:32:48
  We have James Sprague, Matty Sturt,
• 1:32:50
  Pat Vellner, Brooke Wells, Jay Crouch,
• 1:32:52
  Emma Lawson, Roman Krennikoff,
• 1:32:55
  Alexis Raptus,
• 1:32:58
  Dallin Pepper, Alex Kazan,
• 1:33:00
  Justin Medeiros, Ariel Lowen,
• 1:33:02
  Ricky Garrard, Daniel Brandon,
• 1:33:04
  Jason Hopper, Laura Horvath,
• 1:33:06
  and Jeffrey Adler.
• 1:33:08
  And as you can see,
• 1:33:10
  Tia Toomey is not on the list.
• 1:33:12
  Right.
• 1:33:14
  Leading to further speculation about maybe
• 1:33:17
  her performance this weekend.
• 1:33:23
  But the other thing I found interesting is
• 1:33:25
  the legends were announced last
• 1:33:30
  And pretty much the same lineup it's been,
• 1:33:33
  but they've added two new names.
• 1:33:35
  I saw Brent.
• 1:33:37
  Brent Fikowski was added as a legend and
• 1:33:40
  Scott Pancheck.
• 1:33:42
  Wow.
• 1:33:42
  Added as a legend, which it's about time.
• 1:33:45
  Yeah.
• 1:33:50
  Nice.
• 1:33:50
  And then the rest are the typical cast
• 1:33:53
  of characters that have been there for the
• 1:33:57
  last few years.
• 1:34:00
  And no Katrin,
• 1:34:01
  but I think she's due around now-ish.
• 1:34:07
  Annie's there, right?
• 1:34:08
  Annie's on there?
• 1:34:10
  Annie's on there.
• 1:34:12
  It's Matt Chan, Sam Briggs,
• 1:34:14
  Annie Sakamoto, Tanya Wagner,
• 1:34:17
  Brent Fikowski, Dan Bailey, Chris Spieler,
• 1:34:20
  Margo Alvarez, Rebecca Voigtmiller,
• 1:34:22
  Josh Bridges, Josh Everett, Miko Salo,
• 1:34:25
  Rich Froning, Scott Pancheck,
• 1:34:27
  Kristen Clever, Matt Fraser,
• 1:34:28
  and Annie Thorstotter.
• 1:34:33
  You know who's never on there that I
• 1:34:35
  figured would be?
• 1:34:36
  It's like Julie Foucher.
• 1:34:37
  I don't see her there.
• 1:34:40
  Um...
• 1:34:41
  She was there the first couple of years.
• 1:34:45
  Um, I just think she's busy,
• 1:34:48
  not really CrossFitting much.
• 1:34:50
  Yeah.
• 1:34:52
  It's all about family right now for her.
• 1:34:58
  So anyway.
• 1:35:01
  Yeah, that's exciting.
• 1:35:03
  Because I thought it was interesting when
• 1:35:05
  Tia said that she or when Tia wasn't
• 1:35:07
  doing it because I thought I remember an
• 1:35:08
  interview where she said that she was
• 1:35:10
  looking forward to Rogue and like Rogue
• 1:35:12
  she wouldn't miss like this year.
• 1:35:14
  Yes.
• 1:35:15
  So that's why I was like, oh,
• 1:35:17
  and now she's not doing Rogue and then
• 1:35:19
  things started like you start looking
• 1:35:21
  like, okay, is she retiring?
• 1:35:22
  Is she?
• 1:35:22
  Knocked up.
• 1:35:24
  Yeah.
• 1:35:30
  So
• 1:35:31
  Yep.
• 1:35:32
  So that's about it.
• 1:35:33
  We're running along.
• 1:35:35
  That's about it for tonight,
• 1:35:36
  and I know Jamie is not used to
• 1:35:38
  this seated position.
• 1:35:39
  I am not.
• 1:35:40
  We'll let her get her leg up again
• 1:35:42
  and back on the couch.
• 1:35:44
  We want to thank you all for following
• 1:35:45
  us over to Monday night.
