  So what is going on?
• 2:00
  Do you have the new shirt on?
• 2:02
  I do.
• 2:03
  Oh, nice.
• 2:03
  I figured I'd support it tonight.
• 2:08
  I think I thought it was going to
• 2:09
  be a little bit darker blue.
• 2:11
  It looks like a baby blue.
• 2:14
  Uh, like the sign is baby blue.
• 2:18
  Okay.
• 2:19
  So it is deeper than that.
• 2:20
  Okay.
• 2:22
  Yeah.
• 2:23
  Um,
• 2:25
  and I don't know if the lighting in
• 2:26
  here makes it whatever, but, um, but yeah,
• 2:30
  speaking of which we do have the shirts
• 2:33
  on sale.
• 2:34
  If you have ordered yours,
• 2:35
  except for one person just ordered a hers
• 2:37
  right before we got on the air tonight,
• 2:40
  uh, yours is in the mail.
• 2:44
  Are you throwing those get jazz stickers
• 2:47
  in there with shirts?
• 2:49
  I am.
• 2:50
  Nice.
• 2:51
  Get one, folks.
• 2:53
  The stickers are sweet.
• 2:55
  Yeah.
• 2:57
  My wife is my packing person,
• 3:01
  and she's making little sets of stuff that
• 3:03
  go in every bag.
• 3:05
  So if you order a shirt,
• 3:06
  you'll get the get jazzed sticker as well.
• 3:11
  And some other stuff.
• 3:12
  But yeah, super excited.
• 3:15
  I've already sold like twenty shirts,
• 3:16
  which is pretty awesome.
• 3:19
  I will tell you this.
• 3:21
  Everybody who's ordering shirts are the
• 3:23
  same three sizes.
• 3:25
  Yeah, that's typically medium,
• 3:27
  large and like XL.
• 3:29
  No, we've got small, medium, large.
• 3:32
  Oh, OK.
• 3:34
  So if you are one of those sizes,
• 3:36
  just saying there's been a little bit of
• 3:39
  a run.
• 3:42
  And so if you're interested in those sizes
• 3:45
  and you're interested in buying,
• 3:47
  you may want to do it soon.
• 3:49
  But right there is a QR code to
• 3:51
  get to the Venmo or the Cash app.
• 3:54
  Just in the comments, put your name,
• 3:55
  address, and size,
• 3:58
  and we'll get those out to you as
• 3:59
  quickly as possible.
• 4:03
  And we've got the Fergie question of the
• 4:05
  week.
• 4:07
  I hear it.
• 4:09
  Jamie,
• 4:10
  would you rather recover from the CrossFit
• 4:12
  games or a middle school field trip?
• 4:17
  Absolutely.
• 4:17
  The CrossFit games.
• 4:22
  Yeah, I don't, I mean,
• 4:25
  this will relate to a little bit of
• 4:27
  our conversation later.
• 4:28
  Um, obviously some,
• 4:30
  some take more recovery than others,
• 4:32
  but I don't mind that.
• 4:34
  Honestly,
• 4:34
  like I'm usually back in the gym the
• 4:36
  next day.
• 4:36
  I've,
• 4:38
  You know, me at the more volume,
• 4:39
  the better,
• 4:40
  like I'm not usually like wrecked and need
• 4:42
  a week off.
• 4:44
  Yeah.
• 4:45
  Six events.
• 4:46
  Wasn't enough.
• 4:47
  Yeah.
• 4:50
  Um, and six middle, middle school kids,
• 4:57
  especially girls,
• 4:58
  like they take it out of me.
• 5:01
  I can't,
• 5:03
  I am such a grumpy old man now.
• 5:07
  Unless it's my kid,
• 5:08
  like my tolerance level has greatly
• 5:11
  reduced.
• 5:13
  I don't know what will ever happen if
• 5:15
  I become a grandfather.
• 5:16
  Like I hope it all like comes back
• 5:22
  and my love for children comes back.
• 5:23
  But right now I am, I'm the guy,
• 5:27
  I'm old man Simpson yelling at the clouds.
• 5:33
  Larry Young says, yeah,
• 5:34
  I ordered a small because of all the
• 5:36
  jogging he's doing.
• 5:40
  Keep it up, Larry.
• 5:42
  And Nicole,
• 5:44
  I put extra Get Jazz stickers in because
• 5:47
  you requested them specifically.
• 5:50
  I know.
• 5:50
  So I got home and she's like,
• 5:51
  did you bring more stickers home?
• 5:53
  And I was like, no,
• 5:55
  I only got the one and I put
• 5:56
  it on my water bottle like right there.
• 5:59
  And I didn't even think about bringing
• 6:00
  them back to the gym.
• 6:01
  I had some for you,
• 6:03
  but I never saw you again.
• 6:05
  Yeah, that's true.
• 6:08
  Well, you weren't there that next morning.
• 6:10
  I didn't even see you the next day
• 6:13
  other than from the sidelines and you on
• 6:15
  the floor.
• 6:18
  You'd like just you as Corey used to
• 6:20
  say as a child, you disappeared.
• 6:22
  Yeah.
• 6:26
  Yeah.
• 6:28
  Fergie says,
• 6:29
  I get my shirts from Omar the Tentmaker.
• 6:31
  We have big sizes.
• 6:33
  We are the Clydesdale, Fergie.
• 6:36
  We have four X, three X, two X.
• 6:41
  Very limited number of the bigger sizes,
• 6:43
  but we have a couple because I want
• 6:45
  to take care of my Clydesdales.
• 6:48
  Just so you know.
• 6:50
  Not insinuating any size,
• 6:53
  just letting you know they're all
• 6:54
  available.
• 6:54
  Ken Fox.
• 6:58
  both my game shirts and whatever size you
• 7:01
  need, you know?
• 7:03
  Yeah.
• 7:05
  Yeah.
• 7:05
  We've got it all.
• 7:07
  I take care of my people.
• 7:11
  The other thing that I didn't update on
• 7:12
  this show,
• 7:13
  but I did on the lunch show is
• 7:15
  thank you guys so much.
• 7:17
  The money raised for Jamie and Carolyn
• 7:20
  turned out to be four hundred and eighty
• 7:21
  three dollars.
• 7:23
  I rounded that up to five hundred,
• 7:25
  gave them each two fifty and
• 7:27
  And then Dan Church bought a shirt,
• 7:30
  added twenty dollars to take care of the
• 7:32
  roundup.
• 7:36
  So, man, you guys are just awesome.
• 7:39
  I can't say enough how awesome you guys
• 7:43
  are.
• 7:44
  And I mean,
• 7:45
  that comes in handy when you're paying so
• 7:47
  much to get to the games.
• 7:48
  Absolutely.
• 7:51
  So you guys are the best.
• 7:55
  So last,
• 7:55
  so Julie and I were flipped around the
• 7:57
  TV this weekend and I just finished
• 8:01
  watching days of thunder for like the.
• 8:05
  It does not hold up.
• 8:06
  Like I want it to,
• 8:08
  I love Robert Duvall though.
• 8:09
  Like he's worth the movie,
• 8:10
  but the movie itself doesn't hold up.
• 8:13
  And then up next was a league of
• 8:16
  their own.
• 8:17
  And my wife turned to me and said,
• 8:19
  I've never seen that movie.
• 8:20
  How?
• 8:21
  I mean,
• 8:21
  that was in our greatest movie rankings.
• 8:24
  i know yeah i know i'm like how
• 8:27
  are you a woman and isn't that like
• 8:30
  required watching for a woman yeah and she
• 8:35
  goes i i just have never seen it
• 8:36
  i said well you're gonna see it now
• 8:40
  so we loved it last night and she's
• 8:42
  like that is such a good movie i
• 8:45
  haven't seen it in i don't know probably
• 8:48
  twenty years i need to watch it again
• 8:50
  it's it's probably been a minute for me
• 8:55
  But yeah, there's so many quotes from it.
• 8:57
  So many quotes.
• 8:59
  She didn't know that There's No Crying in
• 9:00
  Baseball was from the movie.
• 9:02
  She thought it was just something said at
• 9:05
  baseball games.
• 9:06
  Yeah.
• 9:10
  Tessa says, I never have seen it either.
• 9:13
  Oh, no.
• 9:13
  Go watch it.
• 9:16
  Oh, my goodness.
• 9:17
  It's a true story.
• 9:18
  Now, they...
• 9:20
  they Hollywood it up of course.
• 9:22
  And they change names.
• 9:24
  Cause I don't think they had the rights
• 9:25
  from everybody, but,
• 9:27
  but the part that's the coolest is at
• 9:29
  the very end of the movie,
• 9:31
  they show the actual women who played and
• 9:34
  they're playing a game and you see like
• 9:38
  they really were athletic.
• 9:40
  They're still tossing the ball in their
• 9:43
  sixties, like better than,
• 9:46
  than most people.
• 9:49
  And to me,
• 9:49
  that's like the coolest part of the whole
• 9:52
  movie.
• 9:53
  And then I read a thing last night
• 9:56
  as we were watching it.
• 9:57
  Fourteen hundred women tried out for a
• 10:00
  role in that movie.
• 10:01
  Wow.
• 10:02
  But Penny Marshall was adamant.
• 10:04
  If you can't play baseball,
• 10:06
  you're out no matter how good of an
• 10:08
  actress you are.
• 10:11
  So everybody in that movie could play
• 10:12
  baseball.
• 10:13
  So it would look authentic.
• 10:14
  Makes sense.
• 10:18
  That's awesome.
• 10:19
  And Gina Davis looked like she'd been
• 10:20
  playing for years.
• 10:23
  Madonna, too.
• 10:24
  It's weird seeing Madonna as the tomboy,
• 10:28
  right?
• 10:29
  Yeah.
• 10:30
  And not the performer on the stage.
• 10:34
  Madonna's a small part in the movie.
• 10:37
  Yeah.
• 10:37
  It's really a Gina Davis movie and Tom
• 10:39
  Hanks.
• 10:45
  Meredith, you are correct.
• 10:47
  It is way too obvious when someone doesn't
• 10:50
  know how to swing a bat or throw
• 10:51
  a ball.
• 10:52
  Watch the movie Major League,
• 10:54
  and if you're not Charlie Sheen,
• 10:55
  the rest of them do not know how
• 10:56
  to play baseball.
• 10:59
  Charlie Sheen looks like he could have
• 11:01
  started for the Dodgers.
• 11:02
  The rest of them don't even look like
• 11:05
  they ever played Little League.
• 11:13
  Don't use my bat.
• 11:14
  Use Mariah's.
• 11:15
  It's heavier.
• 11:18
  Love that movie.
• 11:19
  Yep.
• 11:20
  Marla's, isn't it?
• 11:22
  What's that?
• 11:27
  Isn't it Marla's?
• 11:29
  Marla's?
• 11:29
  I think you're right.
• 11:32
  Yeah, my glasses aren't focused in yet.
• 11:35
  Marla.
• 11:35
  Yeah.
• 11:39
  Okay.
• 11:40
  So anyway...
• 11:43
  With all that,
• 11:44
  I wanted to talk about two comments we
• 11:47
  got from our Tuesday night show.
• 11:53
  Ken Walters,
• 11:54
  it's asking me for the last four of
• 11:56
  your phone number.
• 11:57
  You may want to get your four different
• 11:58
  phone number out there for Venmo.
• 12:00
  It's six, eight, four, nine.
• 12:01
  Yeah.
• 12:03
  Six, eight, four, nine.
• 12:04
  If you're ordering and it asks you if
• 12:07
  you want to trust me, it's six, eight,
• 12:09
  four, nine.
• 12:10
  Vicki put it in the comments.
• 12:14
  um some comments that came in from our
• 12:17
  tuesday show where my lovely friend jamie
• 12:22
  latimer may have lost her for a minute
• 12:28
  or two i think i was calm personally
• 12:31
  but so we don't usually do comments on
• 12:34
  the show
• 12:36
  That's another show that does viewer
• 12:38
  comments, and they're great at it.
• 12:41
  But there was a couple I just wanted
• 12:42
  to put up,
• 12:44
  and that is Muscle and Fitness Girl said,
• 12:48
  I love Jamie's rants.
• 12:50
  She is awesome, authentic, and passionate.
• 12:53
  More Jamie, less Kim Kardashian, please.
• 12:57
  New show name,
• 12:58
  Late Night Rants with the Clydesdales and
• 13:00
  the Clydettes.
• 13:02
  Or another show name,
• 13:04
  Get Jazzy with Jamie.
• 13:09
  I love it.
• 13:11
  And then Judy Bauman said,
• 13:13
  Clydesdale Media is my favorite podcast.
• 13:16
  I may not catch you all live,
• 13:17
  but I always watch.
• 13:21
  And we appreciate that so much, Judy.
• 13:24
  But I saw Muscle and Fitness Girl say
• 13:26
  that.
• 13:27
  And that is an overwhelming response I've
• 13:30
  gotten to your rant.
• 13:32
  I mean, that makes me happy because I...
• 13:36
  I feel like sometimes I want to censor
• 13:39
  myself because I don't always want to be
• 13:41
  just negative Nancy.
• 13:44
  But I also want to make sure that
• 13:47
  criticism, feedback is...
• 13:49
  I mean,
• 13:50
  people are talking to me at the game
• 13:52
  and things that I hear, it's not,
• 13:55
  I mean, it's not a hard, I mean,
• 13:56
  most of it's my opinion,
• 13:57
  but I'm making sure that concerns that
• 14:00
  were voiced to me are being voiced.
• 14:02
  Like whether or not they listen to the
• 14:04
  feedback is one thing,
• 14:05
  but it's not going to be because we
• 14:07
  didn't speak up.
• 14:11
  Could I be nicer about it?
• 14:12
  Maybe.
• 14:13
  I don't know.
• 14:14
  I get passionate.
• 14:15
  That's true.
• 14:17
  But it really affected you, right?
• 14:19
  And so anything less than the way you
• 14:21
  did it was not going to be authentic.
• 14:23
  That's true.
• 14:26
  That is authentically me.
• 14:27
  And I love that you're authentic,
• 14:28
  and that is what's cool about this.
• 14:31
  Carolyn Prevo, our lovely co-host.
• 14:33
  Wait, Jamie losing her shit?
• 14:35
  That can't be.
• 14:38
  The Clydesdale Podcast Disclaimer.
• 14:39
  This podcast contains sarcasm, opinions,
• 14:42
  occasional bad words,
• 14:42
  and an unhealthy amount of crossfit
• 14:44
  discussion and going off the rails.
• 14:48
  side effects may include and you can read
• 14:51
  the rest it'll pop up again i'm sure
• 14:56
  um someone else had a getting jacked with
• 14:59
  jamie yeah so much for carrie pierce's
• 15:06
  carrie pierce's abs we're going to get
• 15:09
  jacked with jamie i always was jealous of
• 15:13
  sam's biceps like briggs yeah
• 15:20
  I think you give Sam a run.
• 15:23
  Just saying.
• 15:26
  She was always my inspiration.
• 15:29
  You two can be terrible, Jamie.
• 15:31
  Terrible Tessa, terrible Jamie.
• 15:37
  Every Sunday night,
• 15:38
  I decide I need to eat more protein.
• 15:45
  I just wanted to address those.
• 15:48
  The next thing I had on the list
• 15:50
  to talk about is we broached this subject
• 15:53
  a little bit on the lunch show,
• 15:59
  but that is the legacy.
• 16:05
  James Sprague wins for the second time.
• 16:08
  Generally, because the sport is so young,
• 16:11
  if you won for the second time,
• 16:14
  your legacy is cemented as one of the
• 16:17
  greatest of all time.
• 16:18
  Right.
• 16:19
  But as now we're hitting twenty years and
• 16:22
  beyond.
• 16:24
  Does two wins automatically get you one of
• 16:28
  the greatest of all time?
• 16:34
  I mean, yeah,
• 16:35
  I think you're still going to be up
• 16:36
  there in the top, like five or six,
• 16:38
  but that, you know,
• 16:40
  you get one more double header in there.
• 16:44
  It's,
• 16:46
  I think we're going to be out of
• 16:47
  that.
• 16:48
  You're going to have to have some
• 16:48
  longevity and like,
• 16:52
  it's going to take more.
• 16:53
  You can't just show up and win twice
• 16:55
  and not even be a part of the
• 16:57
  sport anymore.
• 16:58
  I don't,
• 16:58
  I don't even know that that would even
• 16:59
  qualify you anymore.
• 17:03
  Yeah.
• 17:03
  And I think it's,
• 17:06
  And this is no dig on James or
• 17:08
  anything.
• 17:10
  I think it's just he's hit the tipping
• 17:12
  point of where that discussion becomes
• 17:16
  very different.
• 17:20
  Because the three that have more than two,
• 17:22
  I think, are cemented as Mount Rushmore.
• 17:26
  Absolutely.
• 17:27
  And then it's just who is in that
• 17:28
  fourth spot.
• 17:32
  Yeah.
• 17:35
  And so...
• 17:36
  If you think about it,
• 17:39
  I think James and Justin have very similar
• 17:41
  resumes.
• 17:42
  I agree.
• 17:43
  And I am not sure which one I
• 17:47
  would put over the other.
• 17:51
  You know,
• 17:52
  it's that it's that just has a stain
• 17:55
  on it for James.
• 17:56
  Cause I think if it wasn't you would
• 17:59
  say James.
• 18:02
  I think I say James now.
• 18:04
  Do you?
• 18:05
  I think twenty twenty's podium for Justin
• 18:07
  is tainted.
• 18:09
  I think that's fair.
• 18:13
  So and I and I think it's more
• 18:16
  tainted.
• 18:17
  I don't I don't look at twenty four
• 18:19
  as tainted as most people,
• 18:20
  because not only did you do the things
• 18:23
  on the floor,
• 18:24
  you overcame the emotions and everything
• 18:27
  that occurred that weekend to stay focused
• 18:29
  and to get through that weekend.
• 18:34
  And that took a whole different level of
• 18:37
  person to get through that.
• 18:38
  Absolutely.
• 18:39
  A leaderboard of five,
• 18:41
  just the points just don't even make
• 18:43
  sense.
• 18:44
  It is a completely different.
• 18:46
  Yeah.
• 18:46
  The podium is there's more people on the
• 18:48
  podium than off.
• 18:49
  Yup.
• 18:55
  Right.
• 18:56
  So Ken Walter, Scott, no asterisks,
• 18:58
  remember.
• 18:59
  I don't believe in asterisks.
• 19:00
  But when you're talking about legacy,
• 19:02
  you can talk about factors that would feed
• 19:05
  into legacy.
• 19:07
  If you win the championship,
• 19:08
  you win the championship.
• 19:10
  Point blank, end of story, no asterisks,
• 19:12
  none of that stuff.
• 19:13
  We're not debating the winners of the
• 19:17
  championship.
• 19:18
  What we're debating now is legacy.
• 19:21
  And Vicky wrote a really cool essay
• 19:24
  about...
• 19:26
  that legacy is almost more off the field
• 19:30
  than on the field so yeah i can
• 19:38
  get on board with that uh john george
• 19:41
  he's getting close if you look at his
• 19:43
  entire record i don't think justin has
• 19:45
  done as much james has an entire resume
• 19:48
  is impressive well they both have three
• 19:51
  podiums
• 19:55
  But one of Justin's is the twenty twenty
• 19:57
  games.
• 20:00
  Justin never won an event,
• 20:02
  won one event in those years.
• 20:06
  James has won multiple events.
• 20:10
  They both have two firsts and a third
• 20:12
  in the same three year span.
• 20:16
  And I think that there is there is
• 20:18
  more potential for James to add to his
• 20:20
  resume than for Justin to add to his.
• 20:24
  And Justin had a great games.
• 20:25
  You finished fourth, right?
• 20:29
  Like,
• 20:30
  so if Justin would have finished third,
• 20:33
  would it be a different conversation?
• 20:36
  I think it is.
• 20:37
  I think four podiums, one, it get,
• 20:41
  it allows you to not think about the
• 20:43
  as something to match up against James.
• 20:47
  Right.
• 20:48
  Right.
• 20:49
  Now you're a legit year matching up the
• 20:53
  thirds.
• 20:57
  So Joey Perez,
• 21:03
  last three years have been anomalies in
• 21:05
  contrast to each other.
• 21:07
  First cardio games, third machine games,
• 21:10
  first twenty event games.
• 21:12
  Again,
• 21:13
  when you're talking about an individual
• 21:15
  season,
• 21:15
  there is a test that is put in
• 21:17
  front of you and either you win it
• 21:19
  or you lose it.
• 21:22
  The only reason I put the legacy talk
• 21:25
  is there were only five people in twenty
• 21:27
  twenty and more people were on the podium
• 21:30
  than off it.
• 21:31
  So what does that podium mean?
• 21:34
  And then you have the twenty twenty four
• 21:35
  games which people left and went home.
• 21:41
  But it also meant you had to be
• 21:42
  strong enough to stay and get through it.
• 21:45
  And that doesn't mean the decisions were
• 21:47
  right or wrong.
• 21:48
  I'm just saying James to get through that
• 21:50
  weekend had to be strong.
• 21:57
  Technically,
• 21:58
  James has more podiums with the teen
• 22:02
  games, correct?
• 22:04
  I don't think James ever podiumed in the
• 22:05
  teens.
• 22:06
  Wasn't he like second to Dallin?
• 22:09
  I don't think so.
• 22:10
  But maybe our producer can look up at
• 22:14
  the leaderboard and see if
• 22:20
  Did Justin?
• 22:22
  I think that's what's surprising about
• 22:23
  James now.
• 22:25
  Justin never made the team games.
• 22:27
  Okay.
• 22:27
  So right there,
• 22:28
  I would say James is already a leg
• 22:30
  up.
• 22:32
  Just for me, like longevity.
• 22:33
  But I don't think he ever podiumed.
• 22:35
  That's what makes what James is doing now
• 22:37
  so incredible because he wasn't as good as
• 22:40
  Dallin.
• 22:41
  He wasn't even remotely as close to Dallin
• 22:44
  in the team games.
• 22:46
  And now he's beating him on a consistent
• 22:48
  basis.
• 22:50
  Basis.
• 23:00
  Day two heat spin picks winner.
• 23:04
  Did you have to be strong in twenty
• 23:06
  twenty four or maybe you didn't have the
• 23:08
  same relationship with Lazar?
• 23:10
  I was in that building.
• 23:12
  What happened that weekend affected
• 23:14
  everybody that was there,
• 23:16
  whether you knew Lazar or not.
• 23:19
  The air came out of everything during that
• 23:23
  time.
• 23:25
  And so whether you had a close
• 23:26
  relationship with him or not,
• 23:28
  there was an effect as to what was
• 23:30
  going on around you.
• 23:32
  You have people yelling in meetings.
• 23:34
  You have to meet until eight o'clock at
• 23:36
  night to discuss,
• 23:38
  are we having the games or are we
• 23:39
  not having the games?
• 23:41
  There were so many extra factors to the
• 23:43
  whole thing that he had to go through.
• 23:52
  So, uh, Tessa says Justin has one rogue.
• 23:57
  If James wins rogue, it's sealed.
• 24:00
  I don't know if I agree.
• 24:01
  Like rogue is too specific.
• 24:07
  It's its own.
• 24:09
  I mean,
• 24:10
  we know it's like a strength biased event.
• 24:12
  Uh, Vicki says James, took fourth,
• 24:17
  took fifth.
• 24:27
  Plus,
• 24:27
  I don't think it's going to be a
• 24:28
  question in a couple years.
• 24:30
  Because I don't see James going anywhere.
• 24:34
  And... James has a Wadapalooza.
• 24:40
  Justin has one Rogue twice.
• 24:45
  I... Okay, well, if James wins... I mean,
• 24:48
  WFP this year and... Oh,
• 24:51
  James won WFP last year.
• 24:53
  Yes.
• 24:53
  Yes.
• 24:55
  It's going to be stacking up podiums,
• 24:58
  but I don't put near as much weight
• 25:00
  on those events as I do the games.
• 25:02
  I agree.
• 25:03
  The games is a whole season that you
• 25:05
  have to, to get there.
• 25:07
  Um,
• 25:11
  and Vicki confirms that Justin has not
• 25:13
  competed as a team as a teen.
• 25:18
  Um,
• 25:20
  I just find it an interesting
• 25:21
  conversation, um,
• 25:23
  Not that it matters to the grand scheme
• 25:25
  of things.
• 25:26
  They're still all going to go out there
• 25:27
  and they're going to compete to win
• 25:31
  Fittest on Earth.
• 25:32
  Again, in the future,
• 25:33
  we're going to have more data points.
• 25:45
  Clockcutter,
• 25:45
  Justin was a royal disappointment as a
• 25:47
  returning champion.
• 25:49
  That seals the deal, in my opinion.
• 25:52
  I hate saying royal disappointment because
• 25:54
  I do think he was injured.
• 25:56
  Yeah, something was going on.
• 25:57
  I mean,
• 25:58
  I don't think the bike crash did not
• 26:01
  help that year.
• 26:04
  Right at the beginning of the games.
• 26:05
  Correct.
• 26:08
  And he's had foot issues.
• 26:10
  He did so well on the trail run
• 26:12
  in the twenty twenty games to then not
• 26:15
  be able to run it all just didn't
• 26:18
  make sense.
• 26:22
  are nobles i i hate nobles hurt my
• 26:27
  feet so bad just wearing them um one
• 26:33
  way or another in the next couple of
• 26:34
  years think james or justin will be adding
• 26:37
  to their podiums i think james will add
• 26:40
  to his podium he has become so
• 26:42
  well-rounded
• 26:49
  Larry Young says Rogue would be tough for
• 26:51
  James,
• 26:52
  but Matt and Tia always did well for
• 26:54
  the legacy conversation.
• 26:56
  Matt and Tia are on a completely other
• 26:59
  level.
• 27:01
  Yeah.
• 27:02
  Those two had no holes at all.
• 27:07
  I mean, they both went to like...
• 27:10
  Their Olympic lifting was...
• 27:14
  world championship yeah so like she was
• 27:17
  whatever it was she went to the olympics
• 27:20
  the rio olympics he was junior so like
• 27:24
  yeah i mean that's not it you're not
• 27:26
  really gonna find another champion like
• 27:28
  that and matt broke like the world junior
• 27:32
  record yeah before he broke his back um
• 27:42
  Nobles are only good to wear out with
• 27:44
  a nice pair of denim.
• 27:46
  I can't even do that.
• 27:47
  Me either.
• 27:48
  They literally hurt my feet to just stand.
• 27:51
  I have a pair of custom painted Clydesdale
• 27:54
  Media Nobles that I've worn twice because
• 27:57
  they hurt so bad.
• 28:05
  The one thing I will give Justin the
• 28:07
  upper hand on
• 28:09
  is the community stuff that he has started
• 28:10
  to do,
• 28:12
  like hopping in a van with his buddies
• 28:14
  and dropping into affiliates and meeting
• 28:17
  with the average ordinary CrossFitters and
• 28:20
  handing out sponsored gear to those
• 28:23
  people.
• 28:24
  If you've never seen that video that he
• 28:26
  just did in the last off season,
• 28:29
  it's remarkable.
• 28:31
  That's the stuff that's going to help his
• 28:33
  legacy in another direction.
• 28:36
  And that's what Vicki talks about.
• 28:40
  The example she used was why Rich has
• 28:43
  a better legacy than Matt,
• 28:45
  because Rich has done so much off the
• 28:47
  floor with Mayhem programming,
• 28:50
  Mayhem affiliate,
• 28:52
  just being at all the events and being
• 28:54
  rich and standing in a line of thirty
• 28:58
  people signing autographs and taking
• 29:00
  selfies.
• 29:02
  that's why I thought it was so cool
• 29:03
  that Matt showed up and did this,
• 29:06
  did participate in the games this year.
• 29:10
  Yeah, I agree.
• 29:12
  I think he,
• 29:14
  I think he missed it a little.
• 29:15
  I think he enjoyed it.
• 29:17
  I do too.
• 29:19
  And it, I think as you get,
• 29:20
  I said this, this week,
• 29:22
  when you become a father,
• 29:23
  like everything changes,
• 29:24
  your perspective on the world changes.
• 29:27
  Yeah.
• 29:28
  And now he's the dad of two.
• 29:34
  um bring rich bring being rich literally
• 29:47
  yeah i pushed back on that he did
• 29:52
  that once to grow his channel james has
• 29:55
  run a comp coaches got his level two
• 29:58
  and is active
• 30:00
  is active in a gym, not a garage.
• 30:02
  I just feel that road trip was for
• 30:04
  content.
• 30:05
  I think you're being negative, Nancy,
• 30:07
  John George.
• 30:10
  Justin goes to an affiliate every Sunday
• 30:14
  and invites all the members to come work
• 30:17
  out with him on that Sunday.
• 30:20
  I think that he had seen a video
• 30:23
  about the trip that these other guys had
• 30:26
  done in the past,
• 30:27
  and he wanted to replicate it.
• 30:30
  And you can't do that just to be
• 30:32
  cool or have cool content.
• 30:34
  You have to have your heart in it
• 30:35
  or people are going to notice that right
• 30:37
  away.
• 30:38
  And these people did not notice any of
• 30:40
  that.
• 30:43
  Being behind the scenes,
• 30:48
  being behind the scenes,
• 30:49
  Justin changed after he won his
• 30:51
  championship.
• 30:54
  He was way more standoffish.
• 30:56
  And I think he had to find his
• 30:58
  way back.
• 31:08
  um so vicky pulled up something i didn't
• 31:12
  mean to stop her from doing that it
• 31:15
  was a mount rushmore it had place for
• 31:20
  five heads but i thought mount rushmore
• 31:22
  had four just kidding um i like the
• 31:27
  order too yeah i yeah it's debatable but
• 31:37
  Yeah, I think the top two are very,
• 31:38
  very close.
• 31:43
  It's really,
• 31:43
  I know that she's pissed some people off
• 31:46
  in the last couple years,
• 31:47
  but Annie's record is so many podiums,
• 31:52
  two championships,
• 31:53
  owned CrossFit Reykjavik for over ten
• 31:55
  years.
• 31:58
  She's done a lot for the sport and
• 32:03
  the methodology overall.
• 32:06
  Agree.
• 32:06
  She has not done herself any favors the
• 32:08
  last couple years.
• 32:10
  Right.
• 32:11
  And I was hoping she'd show up for
• 32:13
  the ceremony.
• 32:16
  Yeah.
• 32:16
  But it's an expensive trip across the
• 32:20
  ocean to just come out and wave.
• 32:23
  That's true.
• 32:25
  So, I don't know.
• 32:29
  To me,
• 32:30
  it's going to take a lot to pass
• 32:31
  her as the fourth member of the Mount
• 32:34
  Rushmore.
• 32:38
  james is or justin or jason or whoever
• 32:42
  are gonna have to put a lot more
• 32:43
  together on their resume to pass her
• 32:48
  because she did it like over ten years
• 32:50
  of podiums um
• 33:04
  Katie LP.
• 33:06
  Oh, sorry.
• 33:07
  Uh, they look like siblings.
• 33:08
  Yeah.
• 33:09
  Rich and Matt kind of did look like
• 33:10
  siblings on the, on the mountain.
• 33:14
  Uh, yeah.
• 33:14
  Matt's beard in real life right now is
• 33:16
  way, way, way longer.
• 33:19
  Uh,
• 33:19
  people give Rich the nod because of what
• 33:21
  he's done for the community,
• 33:22
  but Matt dominated every win and one more
• 33:25
  championships as an individual.
• 33:27
  But I,
• 33:28
  I agree with Vicki legacy is more than
• 33:30
  just what you do on the floor.
• 33:32
  Correct.
• 33:35
  I don't think there's a debate that Matt
• 33:37
  was the most dominant male competitor ever
• 33:41
  in CrossFit.
• 33:43
  Rich had to make comebacks to win.
• 33:51
  Matt treated it more like a professional
• 33:53
  sport.
• 33:53
  Rich was more into the community side of
• 33:55
  competition.
• 33:56
  I think during those competitive years,
• 33:59
  Rich was just as much into the competition
• 34:01
  of it all.
• 34:03
  But nobody knew how to train for it.
• 34:05
  Nobody had figured out the formula.
• 34:08
  And Rich was overtraining going into those
• 34:10
  games.
• 34:18
  I don't think he was in it any
• 34:20
  more than anything else.
• 34:21
  I think that they both want to win
• 34:24
  more than anything.
• 34:30
  And we're trying out the home internet
• 34:31
  this week.
• 34:35
  Yeah, I'm back here.
• 34:37
  I restarted the router before I left to
• 34:40
  go pick up Coe.
• 34:40
  Yes, all back.
• 34:45
  Before we move on,
• 34:46
  do you have any thoughts on the Legacy
• 34:47
  talk?
• 34:49
  No, I think you guys nailed it.
• 34:51
  I think it's going to be with Annie
• 34:54
  on there.
• 34:55
  I don't think that the boys that we
• 34:56
  were talking about, Justin and James,
• 34:59
  have done enough to push Annie off with
• 35:01
  just the longevity of her career.
• 35:04
  And her involvement for that long and her
• 35:08
  impact,
• 35:08
  especially on the female side of things,
• 35:11
  is huge.
• 35:12
  So I think those four are great picks.
• 35:18
  I mean, Katrin would even be up there.
• 35:20
  Absolutely.
• 35:23
  I think just the – does Katrin have
• 35:26
  two gold?
• 35:26
  Does she have a silver or two silvers?
• 35:31
  She has the twenty twenty podium,
• 35:33
  which is I didn't give Justin much credit
• 35:36
  for.
• 35:38
  I think she took third in twenty twenty.
• 35:41
  No second because Carrie Pierce took
• 35:43
  third.
• 35:43
  Yeah.
• 35:46
  Annie has two golds,
• 35:47
  a bronze in twenty twenty three.
• 35:51
  The year Laura won.
• 35:53
  Didn't she take silver?
• 35:56
  Does she have it early on silver?
• 36:05
  Who won?
• 36:06
  Taking like twenty-two,
• 36:07
  didn't she take third?
• 36:10
  Yeah,
• 36:10
  she got third the year that she came
• 36:11
  back from pregnancy.
• 36:12
  Was it twenty-two or twenty-three?
• 36:17
  Yeah,
• 36:17
  I can't remember if it was twenty-two or
• 36:18
  twenty-three.
• 36:19
  I think it was the year Laura won.
• 36:20
  I thought.
• 36:21
  No.
• 36:21
  It was Laura, then Emma.
• 36:24
  One of those years.
• 36:30
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 36:31
  The resumes are pretty awesome for both of
• 36:33
  them.
• 36:33
  I think Annie definitely touches out
• 36:35
  Katrin.
• 36:38
  And Annie owned an affiliate.
• 36:40
  Katrin never owned an affiliate.
• 36:45
  And Annie did the tour with Rich that
• 36:48
  year after winning where they went from
• 36:50
  affiliate to affiliate.
• 36:53
  And those are things that were crucial to
• 36:55
  the growth of CrossFit back in the day.
• 37:02
  Uh, Katrin, twenty-first, twelfth.
• 37:05
  Two firsts.
• 37:06
  Oh, two firsts.
• 37:08
  I really need to get my glasses checked.
• 37:11
  Uh, two firsts, one second, one third,
• 37:14
  and then varying.
• 37:15
  Yeah.
• 37:20
  Uh, I don't think Katrin ever boycotted.
• 37:22
  I think she wanted to have a baby.
• 37:24
  Yeah, I would,
• 37:25
  if you're going to talk about someone
• 37:26
  boycotting, it's, it's Annie.
• 37:30
  But Annie had a baby during the year
• 37:31
  she said she was boycotting.
• 37:33
  And so was it really a boycott?
• 37:35
  Or was it that she was having a
• 37:36
  kid?
• 37:40
  The world may never know.
• 37:44
  Okay.
• 37:47
  So we've done that.
• 37:49
  Then my lovely co-host wanted to talk
• 37:52
  about, oh, Annie, two firsts, two seconds,
• 37:56
  two thirds, a fourth and a fifth.
• 37:59
  That is pretty damn strong resume.
• 38:09
  Wow.
• 38:10
  That's better than I thought it was.
• 38:11
  And I thought it was pretty good.
• 38:13
  Yeah.
• 38:13
  I mean,
• 38:14
  the boys are going to have to do
• 38:15
  some work to knock her off.
• 38:18
  Like she should probably be the fourth
• 38:19
  head on Mount Rushmore.
• 38:21
  I agree for sure.
• 38:27
  Daniel Arnson makes a good point.
• 38:29
  And Annie had some games moments.
• 38:31
  She had the getting her first ring muscle
• 38:34
  up on the floor at the O-Nine games
• 38:36
  before she won anything.
• 38:38
  She had the snatch that she hit after
• 38:41
  pregnancy where she was shocked she landed
• 38:44
  it,
• 38:45
  stood it up that was on every highlight
• 38:48
  reel after that.
• 38:52
  Plus, she was such...
• 38:54
  Like when she was winning those first
• 38:56
  couple titles,
• 38:57
  she was so much bigger and so dominant
• 39:01
  on the floor compared to,
• 39:04
  because I think those were the years Julie
• 39:05
  Foucher took second.
• 39:06
  And Julie's this little petite, right?
• 39:09
  And the contradiction between them was so
• 39:11
  great.
• 39:12
  She just, she was almost like mythical.
• 39:16
  Like the Icelandic queen that came down
• 39:21
  with all of her powers of Mjolnir and
• 39:25
  all that, you know?
• 39:28
  Statuesque, yeah.
• 39:32
  Plus these abs that were just freakish.
• 39:34
  I know.
• 39:35
  I mean,
• 39:38
  Carrie Pierce made a lot of money on
• 39:40
  abs,
• 39:40
  but Annie had them in the bank way
• 39:42
  before she did.
• 39:43
  Yep.
• 39:44
  She had the turtle shell.
• 39:51
  The lovely co-hosts I have,
• 39:52
  Jamie and Carolyn,
• 39:53
  wanted to talk about Dave reviewing his
• 39:55
  own programming, which I have not seen.
• 40:00
  I was caught up this weekend on some
• 40:01
  other stuff.
• 40:04
  But I'm definitely going to watch it now
• 40:05
  that I see the comments.
• 40:06
  He has two of them out now.
• 40:09
  So I listened to both of them.
• 40:11
  So the one that just came out before
• 40:12
  the show, I put on two point out.
• 40:14
  So I had to listen before the show.
• 40:16
  I didn't catch the one that just came
• 40:17
  out.
• 40:18
  Yeah,
• 40:18
  so he's reviewed now the Wednesday and the
• 40:20
  Friday.
• 40:21
  Okay.
• 40:22
  I'm going to turn it over to you
• 40:23
  guys to go.
• 40:26
  Yeah, I mean,
• 40:27
  I like when he does these.
• 40:28
  I really enjoy getting a look into his
• 40:33
  thought process, the backstory,
• 40:34
  just following along to how these came to
• 40:37
  fruition.
• 40:40
  I mean, the twenty makes sense.
• 40:41
  Twenty events,
• 40:42
  twentieth year totally makes sense.
• 40:45
  me like when we were when everyone was
• 40:47
  reviewing the twenty before it even like
• 40:52
  happened and talking about what repeats
• 40:54
  there could be and just trying to like
• 40:55
  come up with ideas of what kind of
• 40:59
  workouts he may come up with I was
• 41:01
  already hesitant I mean I know we talked
• 41:03
  about and I was like I really don't
• 41:04
  want to see a bunch of repeats like
• 41:05
  I just think that's laziness um
• 41:10
  I, I, I get the point.
• 41:12
  He talked about that a lot,
• 41:13
  the talk talking about having retests so
• 41:16
  that you can see where the sports come.
• 41:18
  And I, I, I do like that aspect.
• 41:20
  Um,
• 41:22
  And I like that he has quite a
• 41:25
  few events that are not gender specific.
• 41:29
  And you can compare Amy's run time.
• 41:32
  And you can compare the biking.
• 41:35
  I like that.
• 41:35
  The swimming.
• 41:36
  To see Lucy beat everybody in the swim,
• 41:39
  that stuff's cool.
• 41:42
  But from the get-go,
• 41:43
  when I personally heard twenty events,
• 41:46
  I was like,
• 41:49
  either there's going to be a bunch of
• 41:50
  short ones, or...
• 41:52
  or it's truly going to be a massacre
• 41:55
  and self like somewhat.
• 41:58
  I wanted to see a massacre because last
• 42:01
  year was so safe.
• 42:02
  I wanted this to just wreck the athletes
• 42:05
  and like people, you know,
• 42:06
  on the spin picks or whatever,
• 42:07
  they're like,
• 42:08
  how many people are going to pull out
• 42:09
  by before the weekend's over from day one,
• 42:12
  how many people are going to pull out?
• 42:13
  And it's like,
• 42:14
  is Dave going to come that hard at
• 42:15
  them that like possibly people are going
• 42:17
  to just be so wrecked that they have
• 42:19
  to pull out of the games.
• 42:21
  And then when you, when you watch it,
• 42:22
  you're like, I don't know, you know,
• 42:24
  he just threw in the three,
• 42:26
  the total and made it three events just
• 42:27
  to be filler wads.
• 42:29
  And you got, you do have to,
• 42:32
  I get like,
• 42:32
  you need to be safe with programming.
• 42:34
  You still can't just go off the rails,
• 42:36
  but I'm just, I'm curious how you thought,
• 42:39
  how you thought of it, Carolyn.
• 42:40
  Yeah.
• 42:40
  I mean,
• 42:42
  he talked a lot about the comparison of,
• 42:44
  you know,
• 42:45
  the female field to the male field.
• 42:46
  And he also did that on the Friday
• 42:49
  review and,
• 42:50
  like listening to um his original ideas of
• 42:53
  the workouts and then as things kind of
• 42:55
  get put together how some of those ideas
• 42:57
  change just because i like to listen if
• 43:00
  there's possibly any future things that
• 43:01
  could come out like in the next few
• 43:03
  years like in the one from today he
• 43:05
  talked that uh naughty nancy or nasty
• 43:09
  nancy one of the versions was supposed to
• 43:10
  come back but then there was already too
• 43:12
  much overhead with uh the squat snatches
• 43:15
  the
• 43:17
  Um, there's other,
• 43:17
  other overheads that they were already
• 43:19
  doing that he had to switch.
• 43:20
  He talked about the different versions
• 43:22
  that he had for the swim workout in
• 43:24
  terms of doing pistols and pushups.
• 43:26
  Um, but that, but that the team didn't,
• 43:29
  um,
• 43:29
  particularly like that for the judging
• 43:31
  part of it.
• 43:32
  So then they went with the burpees,
• 43:33
  which was just something that like anyone
• 43:35
  could do at a pool, which I mean,
• 43:38
  yes, people can do all these workouts,
• 43:41
  but you really can't compare like.
• 43:44
  your total to after people did that run.
• 43:49
  Yeah.
• 43:50
  You know,
• 43:50
  and all the volume that's kind of led
• 43:52
  up prior.
• 43:52
  So yes, the community can do the workouts,
• 43:54
  but with an asterisk there.
• 43:56
  Um,
• 43:58
  Yeah.
• 43:58
  Just,
• 43:59
  I just like hearing his thought process,
• 44:00
  like in the one from today that he
• 44:02
  did, he also talked about, um,
• 44:05
  having under-programmed the legless rope
• 44:07
  climb workout with the weight vest and
• 44:10
  that his original intent was to do like
• 44:11
  five legless for the men and like seven
• 44:13
  with feet after.
• 44:15
  Um,
• 44:16
  and then when the testing happened and
• 44:18
  that's one of the ones that he did
• 44:19
  a lot of testing with, um,
• 44:22
  the females had a little bit tougher time.
• 44:24
  So then he played around with the height
• 44:25
  of the females versus changing the number.
• 44:27
  He goes, in hindsight,
• 44:28
  after the demo team practiced it on field
• 44:31
  there,
• 44:31
  I think they adjusted the number even
• 44:33
  lower.
• 44:34
  And he said that he wished that a
• 44:36
  little bit more leg lifts were there,
• 44:38
  especially for the men.
• 44:40
  Because he said that he would have been
• 44:42
  okay with more people capping on that one.
• 44:44
  Interesting.
• 44:45
  So it was nice to hear him reflect
• 44:47
  on a workout and talk about it being
• 44:49
  under-programmed.
• 44:51
  Because he says most of the workouts that
• 44:54
  he had laid out
• 44:55
  prior to this, he enjoyed them.
• 44:58
  It was kind of like what he was
• 45:00
  looking for in the test,
• 45:01
  he talked about the three D throw,
• 45:03
  and how he played around with,
• 45:05
  like he wanted to do some sort of
• 45:06
  throw, he thought about the L sit,
• 45:09
  and then briefly for the L sit,
• 45:11
  but then kind of landed on the throw,
• 45:13
  and then doing multiple directions.
• 45:17
  And how people could test that.
• 45:19
  I mean, I personally like that
• 45:20
  that event um but yeah i just like
• 45:23
  hearing his his thoughts on all on all
• 45:25
  those events um curious to see the next
• 45:28
  ones going forward um and if he talks
• 45:31
  about changing certain things he actually
• 45:34
  wanted to do a unbroken requirement you
• 45:39
  know in that squat clean event with the
• 45:41
  run with the run
• 45:44
  So they played around with a Nancy version
• 45:47
  with overhead squat.
• 45:49
  They also played around with kind of like
• 45:52
  that pegboard and clean front squat ladder
• 45:57
  that we had last year.
• 46:00
  So kind of using that like squat clean
• 46:02
  plus two front squats and let's say doing
• 46:04
  a certain amount on broken like four,
• 46:06
  three, two, one.
• 46:08
  And they ended up switching that and then
• 46:11
  sticking with the hang squat cleans.
• 46:14
  So again, just interested,
• 46:17
  interesting to hear the tests come
• 46:19
  together and his perspective on it.
• 46:22
  So yeah, I personally Oh,
• 46:25
  and then he did a lot of comparison
• 46:28
  of the athletes, right?
• 46:29
  Like, put like you said,
• 46:30
  like putting Amy in the men's field.
• 46:33
  And just looking at how many people capped
• 46:35
  on the men's side versus the female side.
• 46:37
  And if there's, you know, big
• 46:38
  differences there.
• 46:40
  boss program that handstand walk one but
• 46:42
  then he said that he added the that
• 46:45
  six inch riser like that wasn't there
• 46:47
  originally.
• 46:47
  Yeah.
• 46:48
  So they he saw that on the floor.
• 46:50
  He's like,
• 46:50
  let's just do them there because it was
• 46:51
  a tighter pirouette that they had to do
• 46:53
  in a little bit kind of like a
• 46:54
  softer feel.
• 46:56
  And it created a lot of good I
• 46:59
  mean,
• 46:59
  a lot of people miss that that obstacle
• 47:01
  so I haven't tried it but that would
• 47:03
  that would be difficult on that.
• 47:04
  So yeah.
• 47:07
  I enjoyed that the first event was not
• 47:10
  just your typical long...
• 47:12
  He could have made the run first,
• 47:13
  like normal.
• 47:14
  I'm glad that it was the hopper.
• 47:17
  I like that being an opening workout.
• 47:20
  We don't usually get a true CrossFit
• 47:22
  workout for the first workout of the
• 47:24
  games.
• 47:24
  So I enjoyed that.
• 47:28
  But yeah,
• 47:28
  he even pulled up what Matt's scores would
• 47:31
  have been in the total.
• 47:33
  It's nice to see that stuff.
• 47:34
  I'm very curious if when he...
• 47:37
  get to the Fibonacci final if he
• 47:40
  backtracks on some of the things he said
• 47:43
  when he gets to that day of programming.
• 47:44
  If he compares, maybe he won't compare.
• 47:47
  I do want to comment.
• 47:48
  You said like you wanted a massacre and
• 47:51
  you're not sure you got that.
• 47:53
  Yeah.
• 47:53
  Day one was a massacre.
• 47:57
  The number of people who had something,
• 48:00
  some issue after the trail run was a
• 48:02
  lot.
• 48:04
  There was some cramping,
• 48:05
  and there was definitely some rolled
• 48:07
  ankles,
• 48:07
  although some of that was pre-injury.
• 48:09
  Honestly,
• 48:10
  Hannah Black's the only one who pulled
• 48:12
  out, technically.
• 48:13
  I would say Lucy McGonigal came in
• 48:15
  injured.
• 48:18
  But you're forgetting Alexis Raptus
• 48:20
  face-planted down the hill.
• 48:21
  Yeah.
• 48:23
  That's part of a massacre.
• 48:25
  And then when you got to the swim
• 48:26
  event after that whole day,
• 48:28
  the number of cramps in a pool,
• 48:31
  that was a lot.
• 48:33
  Like people couldn't push off the walls.
• 48:36
  Right.
• 48:37
  They weren't going to be able to do
• 48:38
  a flip turn.
• 48:38
  If they wanted to.
• 48:40
  Exactly.
• 48:42
  But.
• 48:44
  And if being a swimmer,
• 48:46
  a cramp in a pool,
• 48:47
  there's no place to stretch it out.
• 48:50
  Yeah.
• 48:50
  Until you get to the wall and somehow
• 48:53
  get yourself out.
• 48:55
  Yeah.
• 48:56
  No, I guess what I guess, like,
• 48:57
  I really liked day one.
• 48:58
  I think that was awesome.
• 48:59
  I would have liked to seen another day
• 49:01
  of programming like that on Friday.
• 49:04
  And then Tessa said the teams felt the
• 49:06
  wrath the next day when they're all
• 49:08
  dropping on Barack Obama.
• 49:16
  Did you see that's the first community
• 49:17
  workout?
• 49:18
  Yes, it is.
• 49:20
  Which a lot of gyms have, I wish,
• 49:21
  I wish they did something else there
• 49:23
  because they released the hopper workout
• 49:25
  earlier.
• 49:26
  Like,
• 49:26
  and a lot of gyms have already programmed
• 49:28
  that in their affiliate.
• 49:29
  Yeah.
• 49:32
  Um, and then they have,
• 49:34
  they have a time cap on that one,
• 49:37
  which you're,
• 49:39
  you're going to make people do a lot
• 49:40
  of volume for sure with that.
• 49:42
  Um, if you put the time cap,
• 49:43
  maybe a little bit shorter,
• 49:44
  I think people could get time capped and
• 49:46
  maybe not feel as much of that pull
• 49:49
  up volume.
• 49:50
  A lot of gems have already done it.
• 49:55
  Jamie got Kill Bill Volume One on
• 49:56
  Wednesday and wanted Volume Two after but
• 49:59
  didn't get it.
• 50:00
  That's exactly right.
• 50:03
  Nailed it.
• 50:05
  I'm going to say this once, Pool Boy.
• 50:06
  Stay out of the comments.
• 50:07
  I had talked to Pool Boy over there.
• 50:12
  He'll know what I'm referring to.
• 50:13
  Yeah.
• 50:17
  Yeah,
• 50:17
  Jamie had to finish the games with a
• 50:19
  lacerated elbow,
• 50:21
  and she feels everybody else should have
• 50:23
  had to do the same.
• 50:28
  Dave did talk about on Sunday,
• 50:31
  he had already programmed,
• 50:33
  he wanted that to be a light day
• 50:34
  on Sunday, which it was.
• 50:36
  I think for the athletes is what they
• 50:37
  said,
• 50:38
  that it was the easiest Sunday that they
• 50:39
  felt.
• 50:42
  I think it was Andrew Sten who commented
• 50:45
  on about what's...
• 50:47
  I know the athletes said it was the
• 50:48
  hardest,
• 50:48
  but I feel like they hyped it up
• 50:50
  more than what it was.
• 50:52
  The bag throw was a waste and pretty
• 50:53
  much a rest time for the athletes.
• 50:55
  See,
• 50:56
  a lot of the athletes said that it
• 50:58
  wasn't the hardest games.
• 51:00
  And that's my point.
• 51:01
  Like,
• 51:01
  you're throwing twenty events at these
• 51:02
  people.
• 51:03
  You say it's going to be epic.
• 51:04
  I...
• 51:06
  Like Roman talked about being the hardest
• 51:11
  one for him.
• 51:12
  For me, that was the hardest one.
• 51:13
  Like I remember going into Jackie pro and
• 51:15
  I could barely walk in the warmup and
• 51:17
  like bend my legs to do a squat.
• 51:19
  Like it was,
• 51:20
  my legs were hurting so bad.
• 51:21
  And then it was like three, two,
• 51:22
  one go.
• 51:22
  And all of a sudden I'm doing thrusters
• 51:24
  and rowing out there.
• 51:25
  But like,
• 51:25
  I was so sore at that games.
• 51:28
  Um, so I, I,
• 51:31
  I don't know which games is the toughest
• 51:33
  for people, but.
• 51:34
  That one was definitely one that I
• 51:35
  remember being very, very sore at.
• 51:38
  And similar for Roman.
• 51:42
  His comment that past games were
• 51:44
  everything when it came to programming
• 51:46
  this year was quite overblown.
• 51:49
  I...
• 51:50
  i don't understand the comment because i
• 51:51
  didn't see no because what she's saying is
• 51:53
  that like the history of the games was
• 51:55
  going to be impacting the whole picture of
• 51:58
  the twenty events and i i see that
• 52:01
  i see little glimpse on a lot of
• 52:03
  events while also adding newer gymnastics
• 52:06
  because he did talk about um wanting to
• 52:10
  push the gymnastics a little bit more
• 52:11
  because in some of the feedback over the
• 52:14
  years was that we were pushing the weights
• 52:15
  we're pushing a little bit more of the
• 52:17
  monostructural but
• 52:19
  we haven't progressed as much in the
• 52:20
  gymnastics and there was quite a bit of
• 52:22
  tweaks to the gymnastics movements if you
• 52:24
  think about the whole weekend and the
• 52:26
  newer movements that were added there um
• 52:29
  even just little subtle things like that
• 52:31
  box jump over and just a little the
• 52:33
  little touch that people had to yeah the
• 52:36
  shuttle box like like it's just little
• 52:39
  things that people had to adapt to a
• 52:41
  new technique and something that they
• 52:42
  hadn't done before so um yeah
• 52:48
  here's what I want to say about Jamie's
• 52:50
  massacre thing.
• 52:51
  Here's why this games was not as hard
• 52:53
  as like, in Carson and in Madison,
• 52:59
  because of the soccer stadium and north
• 53:01
  park,
• 53:02
  the transitions were part of the workout
• 53:06
  half of the day.
• 53:08
  The transition between implements was much
• 53:13
  greater than they have been since.
• 53:17
  because of those outdoor stadiums?
• 53:20
  I'm going to say that the heat also
• 53:22
  plays a big factor.
• 53:23
  Like just being outdoors all day and
• 53:25
  having the sun beat down on you and
• 53:28
  having that element of heat to a workout
• 53:30
  is something additional that just kind of
• 53:33
  burns the body a little bit more than
• 53:36
  things being indoor with AC.
• 53:39
  Like just, I don't know,
• 53:41
  I just remember coming back from the
• 53:42
  capital run and doing the over and log
• 53:44
  stuff with the jumping and the ring muscle
• 53:46
  ups and it was hot out there.
• 53:47
  And then you had the triple,
• 53:49
  the hat trick one still out,
• 53:50
  like everything was just hot and just,
• 53:52
  you just get more fatigued.
• 53:56
  So I have a quiz for the chat.
• 53:59
  Who won the internet?
• 54:02
  Ariel's picture of throwing her bag and
• 54:05
  then how it fits into the rest of
• 54:07
  her life or Colton and Allie sitting on
• 54:10
  the front porch talking about how Colton
• 54:13
  likes to take it slow and Allie saying,
• 54:16
  yeah,
• 54:16
  I watched you run the five hundred meter.
• 54:18
  Man, those were both good.
• 54:21
  I haven't seen the Colton one.
• 54:22
  It's good.
• 54:23
  Oh, it is so good.
• 54:26
  I'll go watch the Colton one.
• 54:27
  But the Ariel one,
• 54:28
  I've been waiting for a post with that.
• 54:30
  As soon as I saw that picture on
• 54:32
  Instagram, I was like, oh,
• 54:34
  I can't wait to see what she does
• 54:35
  with this.
• 54:36
  And it was great.
• 54:37
  She's so good.
• 54:37
  She did better than I expected with that.
• 54:41
  I might have to go with Ariel, too.
• 54:42
  But, man, the Colton's was good.
• 54:44
  Yeah.
• 54:48
  Yeah, Colton,
• 54:50
  it just caught me off guard because
• 54:53
  usually he does like the pondering inner
• 54:55
  thought piece.
• 54:58
  And with this being with Allie on the
• 55:02
  front porch, I was like, okay,
• 55:03
  what's this going to be?
• 55:05
  And then she slams him and you're like,
• 55:09
  that's priceless.
• 55:11
  But his score would have been like twenty
• 55:13
  eighth or something in the woman's side.
• 55:16
  on that five hundred twenty seven or
• 55:18
  twenty eight.
• 55:19
  That was a that was a rough one
• 55:20
  for him.
• 55:23
  So Vicky tried to do a poll through
• 55:26
  StreamYard.
• 55:27
  Apparently it's not getting to YouTube for
• 55:29
  anybody.
• 55:31
  So we'll have to figure out that in
• 55:32
  the near future.
• 55:36
  It seems like it's I mean,
• 55:37
  I can see it in the corner here.
• 55:40
  Yeah, it's only got two votes, I think.
• 55:45
  have to type a one or a two
• 55:47
  in the chat oh there you go chat
• 55:53
  and just that number and it'll register
• 55:58
  i'll take a one just because i haven't
• 56:00
  seen colton yet and i like aerials that's
• 56:02
  that's my one i commented on aerials that
• 56:11
  she is winning the internet
• 56:15
  as she does always the,
• 56:16
  the one she did from the games where
• 56:18
  she asked Dylan to take her clothes off
• 56:22
  and they're laying in bed.
• 56:24
  And then the covers come off and Dylan's
• 56:26
  wearing her games gear.
• 56:27
  It's like, no,
• 56:31
  really good to take my clothes off.
• 56:35
  They just did a high rocks this yesterday,
• 56:38
  I think together.
• 56:38
  Well,
• 56:38
  that's the other thing that kind of
• 56:40
  brought that on.
• 56:41
  Like,
• 56:42
  the fact kind of like me, right?
• 56:43
  Like I was back in the gym,
• 56:44
  like the next day,
• 56:46
  the fact that Ariel's ready to,
• 56:47
  ready to go leads me to believe that
• 56:50
  it just wasn't the most taxing games.
• 56:55
  Yeah.
• 56:56
  She also has WFP coming up.
• 56:58
  Um, yeah.
• 57:03
  Dylan,
• 57:03
  Dylan says when you agreed to do a
• 57:05
  high rocks with your partner and a little
• 57:07
  bit of you in dies inside.
• 57:11
  Yeah.
• 57:11
  I,
• 57:12
  I like,
• 57:13
  I don't mind that there's like the filler
• 57:15
  events, you know,
• 57:16
  I think it's just comparing what we got.
• 57:19
  It's tough to watch that.
• 57:21
  And you're like,
• 57:22
  when you have to execute on six,
• 57:24
  seven events,
• 57:25
  like they have to be perfect.
• 57:26
  It's just, I, I just like,
• 57:29
  I like more opportunities and it not be
• 57:32
  so that just Matt, you have to,
• 57:36
  and they were like sprinty power output
• 57:38
  things.
• 57:38
  Like I like,
• 57:42
  that the person who can survive and
• 57:46
  outlast winds up the winner most of the
• 57:49
  time.
• 57:50
  I don't like when it's just like who's
• 57:52
  the most powerful for five events.
• 57:55
  I just don't like that.
• 57:56
  To me,
• 57:57
  that's not the truest test of fitness,
• 58:00
  but I don't know what to say.
• 58:02
  Colton has clearly won the poll,
• 58:04
  which Colton wins all the polls,
• 58:06
  but there it is.
• 58:09
  The CAC made some recommendations.
• 58:13
  I love almost all of them.
• 58:17
  So their recommendations to CrossFit are
• 58:19
  going to be merge the CrossFit Open and
• 58:22
  Quarterfinals with one week separating the
• 58:24
  two competitions.
• 58:25
  We've been saying that for eighteen
• 58:28
  months.
• 58:28
  So one leaderboard still, right?
• 58:30
  Is that how it's going to be?
• 58:32
  Yeah,
• 58:33
  like the Open scores matter and the
• 58:34
  Quarterfinals.
• 58:35
  You have, let's say,
• 58:36
  seven or eight scores.
• 58:37
  You can now be more creative.
• 58:38
  It basically is the old Open.
• 58:40
  Even more test than the old Open.
• 58:42
  I think that makes sense.
• 58:45
  Even if you have three lower skill events
• 58:47
  and then four higher skills and maybe even
• 58:50
  one max lift in there, that's fine.
• 58:51
  I love it.
• 58:51
  That's seven scores.
• 58:53
  Yeah, that's fine.
• 58:55
  Number two, I'm not sure I like yet.
• 58:58
  I use the strength of field model to
• 58:59
  invite athletes to a semifinal level of
• 59:02
  competition.
• 59:03
  Yeah,
• 59:03
  I'm confused how this is going to work
• 59:04
  because we tried this with...
• 59:06
  the hot method why why won't we just
• 59:08
  use the scores after quarterfinals and
• 59:10
  where you appear on the leaderboard to
• 59:12
  invite to semifinals why do we need a
• 59:15
  mythical mythical strength of field thing
• 59:20
  that has never worked my thing is in
• 59:24
  order to do both of those leaderboards
• 59:26
  together though you still need some sort
• 59:29
  of proper video review
• 59:32
  Because right now,
• 59:34
  like the open as of late,
• 59:36
  like they're not really reviewing many
• 59:38
  videos.
• 59:39
  So if you are going to have those
• 59:40
  both leaderboards matter,
• 59:42
  and especially if that will then trickle
• 59:44
  to a strength of field,
• 59:46
  you have to have video review or post
• 59:50
  your video publicly online for all of the
• 59:54
  open and quarter.
• 59:55
  So there's some stuff to figure out there.
• 1:00:02
  Number three,
• 1:00:03
  restrict athletes to only one in-person
• 1:00:06
  semifinal event.
• 1:00:08
  Amen.
• 1:00:09
  Please.
• 1:00:09
  Thank you.
• 1:00:11
  That is sports.
• 1:00:17
  I'm fine with that.
• 1:00:18
  And then like one last chance for maybe,
• 1:00:21
  you know,
• 1:00:21
  one or two or a couple of spots.
• 1:00:23
  Yep.
• 1:00:25
  I think you,
• 1:00:25
  I think you need at least,
• 1:00:26
  at least two.
• 1:00:28
  if not three spots online,
• 1:00:30
  because then people just don't even do the
• 1:00:31
  online.
• 1:00:32
  And I do think it's a good revenue
• 1:00:33
  for like,
• 1:00:35
  it just generates a lot of revenue for
• 1:00:36
  CrossFit, which they need.
• 1:00:37
  If they only do one spot,
• 1:00:39
  people wait for the workouts to get
• 1:00:40
  released.
• 1:00:40
  And then not many people will end up
• 1:00:42
  doing it.
• 1:00:43
  You do three, three spots.
• 1:00:46
  I think it could work.
• 1:00:50
  Number four,
• 1:00:51
  increase the number of athletes who
• 1:00:52
  qualify to the CrossFit Games from
• 1:00:53
  in-person events,
• 1:00:55
  leaving only one or two athletes to
• 1:00:57
  qualify from online semis,
• 1:00:58
  which is exactly what Carolyn just said.
• 1:01:02
  But not one or two.
• 1:01:07
  And then number five,
• 1:01:09
  CrossFit should seek out new semifinal
• 1:01:11
  organizers to increase the number of
• 1:01:13
  semifinal events.
• 1:01:16
  good luck hey take on all the cost
• 1:01:20
  take on all the pressure take on all
• 1:01:22
  the stuff and we're not even going to
• 1:01:23
  help you out but do this thing for
• 1:01:26
  us please yeah why can't it just be
• 1:01:31
  like five or six major ones and there's
• 1:01:34
  six spots at each of them and it
• 1:01:37
  actually gets
• 1:01:40
  it gets spectators there.
• 1:01:41
  It draws crowds because there's, I mean,
• 1:01:43
  it doesn't need to,
• 1:01:44
  you don't need to have twelve semifinals
• 1:01:47
  that get two spots each.
• 1:01:48
  Like, that's just silly.
• 1:01:56
  Daniel Arnson,
• 1:01:57
  let me explain the math to you.
• 1:02:00
  No more three-week open.
• 1:02:01
  Go back to a five-week open.
• 1:02:04
  You cannot hold,
• 1:02:05
  it just is not logistically feasible for
• 1:02:07
  affiliates to hold five weeks of an open
• 1:02:10
  with every single person that signs up for
• 1:02:13
  the open.
• 1:02:14
  The last two weeks,
• 1:02:16
  the week off and the final week of
• 1:02:18
  quarterfinals combined in will reduce the
• 1:02:21
  number of people competing in those last
• 1:02:24
  workouts down to a number that is
• 1:02:26
  manageable because those workouts are
• 1:02:29
  usually higher skilled.
• 1:02:31
  and require more logistics and a whole lot
• 1:02:35
  of that you have to think about the
• 1:02:37
  affiliate owners and what they're going
• 1:02:39
  through more specialty equipment often too
• 1:02:42
  that not everyone has access to or like
• 1:02:45
  a ghd that they only have one or
• 1:02:47
  two yeah it would take too long to
• 1:02:49
  go through the entire affiliate uh seth
• 1:02:54
  would be the one to actually make the
• 1:02:55
  changes no he would only recommend them
• 1:02:57
  it's crossfit hq that would actually have
• 1:02:59
  to make them
• 1:03:02
  And number six,
• 1:03:03
  I know this is a very popular one
• 1:03:05
  with the ladies.
• 1:03:07
  Increase the number of individual athletes
• 1:03:08
  competing at the Games to forty,
• 1:03:10
  knowing this would mean athlete cuts would
• 1:03:12
  be a part of the competition.
• 1:03:15
  I mean,
• 1:03:15
  I've never been a fan of the cuts.
• 1:03:17
  I don't think they make sense in our
• 1:03:18
  sports.
• 1:03:18
  The order of the events matter too much
• 1:03:20
  when you start making cuts.
• 1:03:23
  The scoring system changes.
• 1:03:27
  Yeah,
• 1:03:27
  you just put different value on different
• 1:03:29
  workouts.
• 1:03:29
  You're basically not allowing everyone to
• 1:03:31
  take the full test.
• 1:03:32
  And our sport of fitness is here's the
• 1:03:35
  test.
• 1:03:35
  Everyone does it.
• 1:03:36
  Who's the fittest?
• 1:03:37
  Not a certain amount.
• 1:03:39
  So I'm okay with whatever amount they do
• 1:03:41
  for the field,
• 1:03:42
  but I just am not a fan of
• 1:03:43
  the cuts.
• 1:03:45
  I don't think it works with like the
• 1:03:47
  methodology even like we want to see who's
• 1:03:48
  the fittest at all of these events,
• 1:03:50
  not who was good at the first four
• 1:03:52
  or five or six.
• 1:03:55
  You make your cuts throughout the year.
• 1:03:58
  That's the cut season,
• 1:03:59
  not at the games when you,
• 1:04:01
  it just doesn't make sense to me.
• 1:04:02
  Exactly.
• 1:04:03
  Figure out what you can run heats up,
• 1:04:05
  figure out how the floor is going to
• 1:04:06
  be.
• 1:04:07
  And that's your group for the whole
• 1:04:08
  weekend.
• 1:04:13
  Most individual sports have multiple
• 1:04:15
  chances to qualify for worlds.
• 1:04:18
  Not most, some.
• 1:04:22
  um daniel arnson you said we did it
• 1:04:25
  for years go back and look at those
• 1:04:26
  years of the five week open see how
• 1:04:29
  many specialty pieces of equipment were
• 1:04:31
  used in those years we have developed into
• 1:04:35
  a much fitter community requiring much
• 1:04:37
  more higher skilled elements for the
• 1:04:39
  latter part of the crossfit open and to
• 1:04:43
  do that we need to separate it out
• 1:04:45
  to the top ten top twenty five percent
• 1:04:48
  and let them do their thing with those
• 1:04:50
  pieces of equipment
• 1:04:57
  Yeah, I like the thirty.
• 1:04:59
  I didn't like it at first.
• 1:05:00
  I like it now.
• 1:05:01
  I think it is.
• 1:05:04
  It makes for a very watchable CrossFit
• 1:05:06
  games.
• 1:05:08
  As long as the right thirty are there
• 1:05:09
  or like for the most part,
• 1:05:10
  most of the thirty are there.
• 1:05:12
  It's good.
• 1:05:17
  Someone has opinions from the dinner
• 1:05:19
  table.
• 1:05:21
  Yeah.
• 1:05:25
  Okay,
• 1:05:27
  so the issue is they have never cut
• 1:05:30
  at the games and then had an event
• 1:05:31
  that is like, oh,
• 1:05:33
  that's why they had to cut the field.
• 1:05:36
  I think there's a lot of problems with
• 1:05:39
  the cuts.
• 1:05:44
  I mean,
• 1:05:44
  make the floor a twelve-lane floor and
• 1:05:47
  have thirty-six.
• 1:05:47
  I don't know.
• 1:05:48
  Figure out something that makes sense.
• 1:05:50
  You really want three heats.
• 1:05:52
  Figure it out.
• 1:05:54
  Yeah,
• 1:05:54
  I don't want forty at the games again.
• 1:05:58
  Because let's be honest,
• 1:06:00
  because of the structure of the season
• 1:06:01
  during the forty years,
• 1:06:03
  there were ten people that didn't belong.
• 1:06:04
  Agree.
• 1:06:08
  And the last couple seasons,
• 1:06:09
  the thirty that are there pretty much
• 1:06:11
  belong there.
• 1:06:12
  I like the thirty-two.
• 1:06:16
  It flowed well.
• 1:06:20
  Meredith,
• 1:06:20
  that was her screaming from California
• 1:06:22
  that I don't even know where she lives.
• 1:06:27
  For sure.
• 1:06:28
  I think maybe California.
• 1:06:36
  Larry Young, surprisingly,
• 1:06:37
  I like the thirty two.
• 1:06:39
  And then Barry was highlighted.
• 1:06:41
  Do we want to make sure there is
• 1:06:42
  global representation or do we want to
• 1:06:44
  find the fittest?
• 1:06:45
  We want to find the fittest.
• 1:06:49
  while also holding in different areas or
• 1:06:52
  regions, competitions,
• 1:06:53
  I can give them a chance to get
• 1:06:55
  better and to qualify.
• 1:06:57
  Yeah.
• 1:07:00
  Yeah.
• 1:07:05
  Global representation should only be a
• 1:07:07
  factor when you're big enough for it to
• 1:07:09
  matter.
• 1:07:10
  We are not at that point.
• 1:07:13
  Everything should be about growing what we
• 1:07:16
  have.
• 1:07:17
  not about trying to be everything for
• 1:07:19
  everybody.
• 1:07:21
  You just can't do both.
• 1:07:26
  In addition to this,
• 1:07:28
  Becca Voigtmiller put out an all-call to
• 1:07:33
  all Masters athletes as she is a member
• 1:07:36
  of the CrossFit Athlete Council as well.
• 1:07:40
  And she wanted to hear all of what
• 1:07:43
  people had to say about the Masters
• 1:07:45
  CrossFit Games.
• 1:07:46
  She is collecting that information so she
• 1:07:48
  can take it back with her.
• 1:07:50
  I applaud her for that.
• 1:07:53
  It's the first time I've seen that from
• 1:07:54
  the Masters representation on the council.
• 1:08:02
  And I just hope that she has time
• 1:08:04
  to read them all.
• 1:08:07
  Have you done an email, Jamie?
• 1:08:09
  No.
• 1:08:10
  I don't even know where to begin.
• 1:08:12
  I was like,
• 1:08:12
  can I ask Chad GPT to summarize my
• 1:08:15
  riff?
• 1:08:19
  She does watch the show.
• 1:08:21
  She's a fan of the show.
• 1:08:21
  So I'm assuming that she's heard our
• 1:08:25
  perspective.
• 1:08:26
  I was kind of thinking that too.
• 1:08:28
  Do I need to write it all up?
• 1:08:29
  Does she have it?
• 1:08:30
  I almost was going to DM her and
• 1:08:32
  just be like, hey,
• 1:08:32
  do I need to formally write the cover?
• 1:08:35
  Just send her a link to the show.
• 1:08:38
  Yeah.
• 1:08:40
  Timestamp here.
• 1:08:41
  Yeah.
• 1:08:44
  She is a subscriber to the channel.
• 1:08:47
  And I know she's been in the comments
• 1:08:49
  in the past.
• 1:08:52
  So on that note,
• 1:08:53
  because we did bring up the rower and
• 1:08:55
  I wanted to go back and look.
• 1:09:00
  It appears to me that the individuals did
• 1:09:03
  have their rowers and their skiers set to
• 1:09:07
  thirty six hundred meters counting down so
• 1:09:11
  doable if a team wants to do it
• 1:09:23
  yeah I think it is saying send her
• 1:09:27
  the clip and then email Jamie for evidence
• 1:09:35
  okay um anyway there's all that we've let
• 1:09:39
  our opinions known so did you send an
• 1:09:45
  email carolyn no i had it i didn't
• 1:09:50
  know what the show if like most of
• 1:09:53
  it would get emailed i'm assuming people
• 1:09:55
  but then i feel like we're all going
• 1:09:56
  to assume people email and then no one
• 1:09:58
  i know that is my worry like just
• 1:10:00
  because i've said it on here do i
• 1:10:02
  need to like i know
• 1:10:05
  Do you see Vickie's at volunteering?
• 1:10:08
  Send her a voice memo.
• 1:10:11
  Just send her the clip.
• 1:10:13
  Say timestamp here.
• 1:10:15
  What we received in our athlete kit too.
• 1:10:16
  Also needs to get mentioned.
• 1:10:26
  I do want to defend Bob and Joe
• 1:10:27
  on the athlete kit because I had heard
• 1:10:30
  that
• 1:10:32
  Credible sources tell me that other people
• 1:10:34
  tried to add to that kit and were
• 1:10:37
  not allowed to because of contracts with
• 1:10:39
  HQ and Valites,
• 1:10:43
  which really sucks for the Masters
• 1:10:44
  athletes.
• 1:10:49
  Really sucks.
• 1:10:56
  Scott,
• 1:10:56
  are you able to pull up a post
• 1:10:58
  or just a link?
• 1:11:01
  I can pull up posts on Instagram if
• 1:11:03
  that's what you mean.
• 1:11:04
  What do you want us to pull up?
• 1:11:13
  Oh,
• 1:11:13
  she's just saying like a clip of the
• 1:11:15
  show.
• 1:11:15
  Oh yeah.
• 1:11:17
  Yeah.
• 1:11:23
  YouTube allows you as a viewer to clip
• 1:11:25
  pieces and save them.
• 1:11:27
  I don't know how you distribute them
• 1:11:29
  though.
• 1:11:32
  pull up I am willing Willie George's will
• 1:11:36
  George's Instagram I'm assuming Vicky's on
• 1:11:44
  it.
• 1:11:47
  A couple other things I wanted to talk
• 1:11:48
  about.
• 1:11:48
  We'll get this one out of the way
• 1:11:50
  while we're waiting.
• 1:11:55
  Jason and Gracie and Hopper announced that
• 1:11:57
  they had a miscarriage leading up to the
• 1:11:59
  CrossFit Games.
• 1:12:03
  I feel so terrible for them.
• 1:12:06
  That is an awful experience to go through.
• 1:12:09
  I cannot believe that that's what they
• 1:12:13
  were going through.
• 1:12:15
  It happens in life.
• 1:12:16
  People have to move on,
• 1:12:18
  but it's hard in those moments to get
• 1:12:23
  through those emotional pieces.
• 1:12:29
  my thoughts and prayers just go out to
• 1:12:30
  them that that's got to be a tough
• 1:12:32
  thing to deal with um then we have
• 1:12:45
  wfp coming up at the end of the
• 1:12:46
  month so what is their place in the
• 1:12:50
  season now i heard brian friend talk about
• 1:12:55
  how cool it was that we're going to
• 1:12:57
  get an amy kringle versus laura horvath
• 1:12:59
  after amy kringle won the games and he's
• 1:13:03
  disappointed that we're not going to get
• 1:13:06
  um a dallin pepper james rematch because
• 1:13:10
  people want to see that four or five
• 1:13:12
  times yeah so my question is do we
• 1:13:16
  really want to see it four or five
• 1:13:17
  times
• 1:13:20
  Yeah, I do.
• 1:13:22
  I want to see the best athletes go
• 1:13:23
  against each other anytime they can on
• 1:13:26
  different tests.
• 1:13:27
  It's more data points.
• 1:13:29
  But I think that Hiller made a good
• 1:13:31
  point a while back about that sometimes
• 1:13:34
  scarcity makes you want the thing more
• 1:13:37
  when it happens.
• 1:13:39
  Like, I remember as a kid,
• 1:13:41
  the National League and the American
• 1:13:43
  League in baseball never played each other
• 1:13:45
  until the World Series and the All-Star
• 1:13:47
  Game.
• 1:13:48
  And then they switched it where they got
• 1:13:50
  to do it all the time.
• 1:13:51
  And the All-Star Game has become a joke.
• 1:13:53
  And the World Series, I don't think,
• 1:13:56
  has the specialness to it anymore because
• 1:13:59
  they met earlier in the season.
• 1:14:04
  I don't know how that translates to
• 1:14:06
  CrossFit because I do like seeing the epic
• 1:14:08
  moments, but I'm a nerd.
• 1:14:09
  I don't know how that translates to
• 1:14:11
  everyday people.
• 1:14:13
  Are you good?
• 1:14:14
  If it happens six times a year,
• 1:14:16
  do you tune in every time or do
• 1:14:18
  you just go,
• 1:14:19
  I'll wait till they're at the big moment
• 1:14:21
  or this moment?
• 1:14:23
  Yeah.
• 1:14:24
  Because maybe one prioritizes this over
• 1:14:27
  that.
• 1:14:30
  I can see the scarcity, uh,
• 1:14:34
  making it a little bit more exciting.
• 1:14:42
  But yeah, for us nerds,
• 1:14:44
  I'd love to see them compete.
• 1:14:47
  Whenever they're competing,
• 1:14:47
  I'd like to see them head-to-head.
• 1:14:50
  I guess where I get
• 1:14:53
  I want to see it, yes.
• 1:14:55
  But do I want to hear, well,
• 1:14:57
  I didn't taper for that or I didn't
• 1:15:01
  deload for that.
• 1:15:03
  I'm just using it as a training piece.
• 1:15:05
  Are you really getting the real matchup?
• 1:15:09
  Yeah, because you always hear that.
• 1:15:11
  Yeah, like, oh,
• 1:15:13
  I took two weeks off and I was
• 1:15:16
  just getting my feet wet again here.
• 1:15:18
  It depends always how they do.
• 1:15:21
  Right, right.
• 1:15:23
  And so do you, like,
• 1:15:24
  I just am tired of all of that,
• 1:15:26
  right?
• 1:15:29
  Yeah.
• 1:15:29
  If you're not going to treat it as
• 1:15:30
  basically in other games,
• 1:15:32
  you probably shouldn't do it because there
• 1:15:34
  is going to be excuses around it.
• 1:15:35
  And then it's just,
• 1:15:37
  nobody wants to see them just like
• 1:15:40
  exercise through the workout like that.
• 1:15:42
  It's,
• 1:15:43
  you want to see these people suffer
• 1:15:45
  through these workouts and
• 1:15:48
  I watch everything.
• 1:15:50
  I get giddy over the games and Rogue.
• 1:15:56
  Because I feel like everybody's bringing
• 1:15:58
  their best foot forward for those two
• 1:16:00
  events.
• 1:16:04
  Well,
• 1:16:04
  there's a lot on the line prize-wise.
• 1:16:06
  There's a lot on the line for WFP.
• 1:16:09
  I think so, too.
• 1:16:11
  I don't know how more people don't see
• 1:16:13
  that.
• 1:16:13
  Because I think that WFP has a great
• 1:16:15
  opportunity for money.
• 1:16:17
  And it's just a diminished travel.
• 1:16:22
  Rogue in the games are your best of
• 1:16:23
  the best.
• 1:16:24
  They have the best fields by far.
• 1:16:29
  And they have huge prize money where a
• 1:16:31
  lot is on the line.
• 1:16:33
  And honestly, on the glory side of things,
• 1:16:37
  they both bring a lot of glory.
• 1:16:44
  Conclusion of the day,
• 1:16:45
  Jamie is a masochist.
• 1:16:48
  Yeah, we did Kelso again yesterday.
• 1:16:50
  Oh, my gosh.
• 1:16:56
  I just like it.
• 1:17:00
  John George,
• 1:17:02
  the WFP is August twenty eight through
• 1:17:05
  August thirtieth.
• 1:17:08
  In Indianapolis, Indiana.
• 1:17:12
  I'm excited to see it.
• 1:17:13
  I'm hoping I get media credentials.
• 1:17:15
  Jamie and I have applied.
• 1:17:16
  Yep.
• 1:17:17
  We're waiting to find out if we've been
• 1:17:20
  told in the chat on this show that
• 1:17:22
  we both have media credentials.
• 1:17:25
  But I've received nothing in writing.
• 1:17:32
  I was kind of hoping they were having
• 1:17:33
  their masters field at the Indiana
• 1:17:36
  location, but they're not.
• 1:17:37
  They're only doing it at Copenhagen.
• 1:17:43
  I just want to see what it's like
• 1:17:44
  in person.
• 1:17:47
  There are some really cool add-on pieces
• 1:17:50
  that I've seen on the stream that I
• 1:17:53
  want to see how they look in person.
• 1:17:57
  And I'm really excited to see that.
• 1:17:58
  I hope I get media credentials for that.
• 1:18:07
  What are your thoughts?
• 1:18:08
  Do you think Amy's going to go...
• 1:18:11
  Right after Laura?
• 1:18:13
  Or do you think she's going to taper
• 1:18:16
  and just use it as a training day
• 1:18:18
  and not really peaked?
• 1:18:22
  I think she's going to go rec chap.
• 1:18:28
  I mean, right now,
• 1:18:29
  she's going to do well on, I think,
• 1:18:32
  a lot of the events,
• 1:18:33
  like the XK run.
• 1:18:35
  I think Amy would be the favorite right
• 1:18:36
  now there.
• 1:18:38
  Um,
• 1:18:38
  she also seems like she's a good sprinter
• 1:18:40
  too.
• 1:18:40
  So the combine seems to be good.
• 1:18:42
  She had one of the best strict presses.
• 1:18:44
  So assuming if that transfers to a good
• 1:18:46
  bench press, I mean,
• 1:18:48
  I feel like she'll look good for WFP
• 1:18:51
  events.
• 1:18:52
  So I don't, I don't,
• 1:18:53
  I don't think she'll take it lightly.
• 1:18:55
  I think she'll go to try to win
• 1:18:57
  and solidify her spot.
• 1:19:01
  To get the number one pro card and
• 1:19:04
  the games check for winning,
• 1:19:07
  that's a pretty damn good year.
• 1:19:11
  And with Rogue still floating out there,
• 1:19:14
  that pays every athlete.
• 1:19:21
  What I concluded after the games is Amy
• 1:19:23
  does not have much of a hole.
• 1:19:28
  Everywhere people thought they'd make up
• 1:19:30
  ground, she didn't let them.
• 1:19:34
  And she seems to be able to pick
• 1:19:35
  up stuff fairly quickly.
• 1:19:38
  Triple unders, rolls to support.
• 1:19:42
  She didn't win rolls to support,
• 1:19:44
  but she didn't lose much ground either.
• 1:19:46
  Right.
• 1:19:51
  Rogue would be the triple crown.
• 1:19:52
  Yeah.
• 1:19:56
  I mean, it used to be Wadapalooza,
• 1:19:58
  but I think you put WFD in that.
• 1:20:00
  Yeah.
• 1:20:02
  I mean, speaking of Wadapalooza,
• 1:20:04
  what do you guys think the format is
• 1:20:06
  going to be with the camps?
• 1:20:08
  You think there's going to be a team
• 1:20:09
  that's non-camps?
• 1:20:12
  I hope so.
• 1:20:12
  And how many people per camp?
• 1:20:18
  I don't know.
• 1:20:19
  Five, six?
• 1:20:20
  How many camps?
• 1:20:23
  That's the question.
• 1:20:23
  Do you have to have a minimum number
• 1:20:26
  of athletes?
• 1:20:32
  How fair is it to be mayhem and
• 1:20:34
  proven?
• 1:20:36
  Brute's going to probably win it.
• 1:20:39
  At the top end.
• 1:20:41
  But just like depth-wise,
• 1:20:42
  the other two are so deep.
• 1:20:48
  It all depends on the number on a
• 1:20:49
  team.
• 1:20:51
  If it's one man and one woman,
• 1:20:52
  then yeah, Brute, kill it.
• 1:20:56
  Brute took the top two places on both
• 1:20:58
  leaderboards.
• 1:20:59
  I know.
• 1:21:00
  I mean,
• 1:21:01
  I think even if it's six athletes per
• 1:21:04
  camp, I think Brute's winning.
• 1:21:08
  Three men, three women.
• 1:21:10
  I think Brute can... Well, technically,
• 1:21:12
  Amy's Brute.
• 1:21:14
  Right?
• 1:21:14
  That's what I said.
• 1:21:15
  Top two on both sides.
• 1:21:19
  Aline Worth is also Brute.
• 1:21:24
  Is Ella Wilkinson?
• 1:21:26
  No.
• 1:21:27
  No?
• 1:21:28
  She just trains with Amy?
• 1:21:30
  Yes.
• 1:21:36
  You have Jason as the third man, yeah.
• 1:21:43
  Someone said the Island of Misfit Toys is
• 1:21:46
  the non-camp team.
• 1:21:51
  I don't know.
• 1:21:54
  Like, how many teams do you want there,
• 1:21:56
  really?
• 1:21:57
  Like, yeah,
• 1:21:57
  you're probably going to have Mayhem,
• 1:21:59
  Proven, and Brute.
• 1:22:02
  And then do you take a European team
• 1:22:05
  or do you have TTT in there?
• 1:22:08
  I don't even know if they can, like,
• 1:22:10
  have six strong enough athletes to.
• 1:22:13
  HWPO has a couple.
• 1:22:16
  Yeah.
• 1:22:19
  But do you want six camps there?
• 1:22:22
  That seems like a lot.
• 1:22:24
  don't know that's and if you do a
• 1:22:26
  non-camp team but i think you need more
• 1:22:31
  than three because i think the the races
• 1:22:33
  of three i didn't like that in the
• 1:22:35
  last couple years like i like the format
• 1:22:37
  that they had but as soon as like
• 1:22:39
  one team kind of pulled away it wasn't
• 1:22:41
  yes like i think at least four different
• 1:22:46
  groups of people uh tessa i don't even
• 1:22:49
  think invictus had an individual team
• 1:22:51
  there or individual athlete there
• 1:23:02
  Did they even have a team this year?
• 1:23:05
  If they didn't,
• 1:23:06
  it would be the first time in the
• 1:23:07
  history they didn't have a team at the
• 1:23:08
  games.
• 1:23:12
  Hmm.
• 1:23:13
  Gosh, I can't picture who they had.
• 1:23:16
  If they had one, who it was.
• 1:23:18
  Yeah, because I didn't see any, like...
• 1:23:23
  Allie Weiss went back to Invictus, right?
• 1:23:28
  And Danny Spiegel wasn't on anything.
• 1:23:34
  I mean, it's usually like Emily Lugman,
• 1:23:36
  and she wasn't there.
• 1:23:40
  I don't think there was any Invictus team,
• 1:23:43
  because I just looked at the leaderboard
• 1:23:44
  quickly,
• 1:23:44
  and none of the teams had the name
• 1:23:46
  Invictus in it.
• 1:23:47
  Right.
• 1:23:48
  I don't think they had a team this
• 1:23:50
  year.
• 1:23:53
  That'll be the first time in history that
• 1:23:55
  Invictus didn't have a team at the games.
• 1:23:58
  That's crazy.
• 1:24:02
  Fake Sivan, Horvath is not Krypton.
• 1:24:09
  She is her own Caduceus.
• 1:24:10
  Okay.
• 1:24:10
  I think that's all I had.
• 1:24:11
  You guys have anything else?
• 1:24:25
  I don't think so.
• 1:24:28
  I don't think so.
• 1:24:37
  Oh, did we pull up Willie George's post?
• 1:24:41
  Yeah, what post is it?
• 1:24:45
  I don't know.
• 1:24:45
  I'm flying blind.
• 1:25:08
  That is pretty darn accurate.
• 1:25:09
  Oh, my gosh.
• 1:25:11
  Running the Theragun all over us.
• 1:25:13
  Uh-huh.
• 1:25:14
  The tripod, the overflowing bag.
• 1:25:18
  Incredible.
• 1:25:21
  The Yeti cooler dangling.
• 1:25:22
  He's even got the nose tape.
• 1:25:25
  Yep.
• 1:25:28
  Oh, that was really good.
• 1:25:34
  NAI says,
• 1:25:35
  Laura is never coming back to CrossFit,
• 1:25:37
  right?
• 1:25:37
  WFPS, Rogue, yes, but never CrossFit.
• 1:25:40
  Never say never.
• 1:25:43
  I wish she'd come back.
• 1:25:45
  It only makes the storyline better.
• 1:25:50
  All the sleeves.
• 1:25:50
  I don't agree with this.
• 1:25:58
  I don't agree with this.
• 1:25:59
  I don't agree with this.
• 1:26:00
  I don't agree with this.
• 1:26:01
  I don't agree with this.
• 1:26:04
  Yeah.
• 1:26:05
  From twenty twelve to twenty seventeen.
• 1:26:11
  I had all the rock tape on every
• 1:26:13
  joint I had.
• 1:26:15
  I mean,
• 1:26:16
  rock tape would go out of business if
• 1:26:18
  Jamie wasn't around.
• 1:26:20
  I have had rock tape since twenty
• 1:26:22
  eighteen.
• 1:26:23
  Yes.
• 1:26:25
  You go back to my old post,
• 1:26:26
  you can see me all rock taped up.
• 1:26:31
  If Laura comes back,
• 1:26:31
  I selfishly want Mal back.
• 1:26:34
  I think you have a better shot at
• 1:26:36
  Laura than Mal.
• 1:26:41
  Knee-high socks, yep, you know it.
• 1:26:48
  Rich froning headband.
• 1:26:51
  Necklace choker.
• 1:26:56
  Wrist wraps.
• 1:26:58
  Knee sleeves.
• 1:27:01
  Board shorts.
• 1:27:04
  All of it.
• 1:27:08
  The sourdough games, Corinne versus Mal.
• 1:27:10
  In Vendor Village,
• 1:27:11
  wouldn't that be awesome?
• 1:27:13
  I bet you there'd be a line.
• 1:27:19
  See,
• 1:27:20
  revenue streams you're not even thinking
• 1:27:21
  about.
• 1:27:31
  Mal was the American hope.
• 1:27:35
  Her and Emma Carey.
• 1:27:38
  Yeah, we need an American woman.
• 1:27:41
  It's been since Kristen Clever.
• 1:27:43
  That's not good.
• 1:27:47
  Paige, come on, girl.
• 1:27:51
  Alex was fourth this year.
• 1:27:52
  She was the highest American.
• 1:27:55
  I think Alex has a shot.
• 1:27:56
  I think Paige has a shot.
• 1:28:01
  Olivia Kerstetter podiumed last year.
• 1:28:04
  I don't think she's well-rounded enough
• 1:28:06
  yet.
• 1:28:06
  I don't either.
• 1:28:09
  That was the machine games that got her
• 1:28:11
  the win.
• 1:28:15
  Get on it, Jamie.
• 1:28:19
  She'll need a whole lot more rock tape
• 1:28:20
  than that.
• 1:28:21
  Yeah.
• 1:28:24
  I need about fifteen years back.
• 1:28:27
  I think it was Lauren Fisher first.
• 1:28:29
  Was Lauren Fisher ever a real contender?
• 1:28:31
  No.
• 1:28:37
  When she came in, like, we still had,
• 1:28:39
  like,
• 1:28:40
  the Julie Fouches and the Lindsay
• 1:28:41
  Valenzuelas and the Val Vobrals podiuming
• 1:28:46
  at that point.
• 1:28:49
  And then the dry spell hit all the
• 1:28:52
  way to twenty twenty and Carrie Pierce.
• 1:28:56
  Yeah, Carrie was the hope.
• 1:29:00
  Daniel, Camille is Canadian.
• 1:29:02
  That's not U.S.,
• 1:29:06
  Yeah,
• 1:29:06
  Canada has had a champion since the United
• 1:29:09
  States has.
• 1:29:10
  I know.
• 1:29:12
  I mean, Emma Lawson has a shot.
• 1:29:15
  That's a great shot.
• 1:29:18
  That's our second silver.
• 1:29:23
  On the men's side, it's been all U.S.
• 1:29:26
  other than two.
• 1:29:29
  Miko Salo in two thousand nine.
• 1:29:31
  Jeff Adler, Canada.
• 1:29:35
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:29:38
  James Fitzgerald, the first one ever.
• 1:29:41
  Two Canadians.
• 1:29:42
  Come on now.
• 1:29:43
  Don't take those away.
• 1:29:49
  I think Dave programs American Girls out.
• 1:29:51
  No.
• 1:29:51
  We just don't have enough.
• 1:29:54
  Right.
• 1:29:54
  I mean,
• 1:29:54
  if he could have got Brooke a win,
• 1:29:56
  he would have programmed her in.
• 1:30:01
  Do the games go to Europe in the
• 1:30:02
  next three years?
• 1:30:04
  Unfortunately, I think yes.
• 1:30:07
  I think it's a dumb move if they
• 1:30:09
  do.
• 1:30:09
  I do too, but...
• 1:30:13
  The logistics of that alone would cost so
• 1:30:16
  much.
• 1:30:19
  Watching the opening ceremonies and how
• 1:30:21
  big the USA amount of people... I mean,
• 1:30:24
  a lot of it's Masters, but...
• 1:30:29
  Vicky's bringing back the old pencil, pen,
• 1:30:31
  or Sharpie.
• 1:30:32
  Games goes to Europe in three years.
• 1:30:34
  Pencil, pen, or Sharpie?
• 1:30:35
  Sharpie.
• 1:30:40
  I hope cooler heads prevail and it's
• 1:30:41
  pencil.
• 1:30:43
  I think pen or pencil.
• 1:30:45
  I think they will do it.
• 1:30:50
  Pencil is not do it.
• 1:30:52
  Sharpie is they will do it.
• 1:30:54
  Okay, then I'm pen or Sharpie.
• 1:30:59
  The problem in Europe is then you're
• 1:31:00
  getting an indoor games.
• 1:31:03
  Yep.
• 1:31:04
  There is no facility over there with a
• 1:31:07
  festival feel.
• 1:31:09
  And when you take out the festival feel,
• 1:31:11
  you are taking out the essence of what
• 1:31:13
  the games are.
• 1:31:15
  How do you know that,
• 1:31:15
  that you can't have a festival feel?
• 1:31:19
  I've just heard that the arenas over there
• 1:31:21
  are because the lands is the land is
• 1:31:24
  not as big.
• 1:31:26
  There's no place to do it to do
• 1:31:28
  that.
• 1:31:29
  mean they figured it out in madison to
• 1:31:31
  do it in a parking lot like that
• 1:31:35
  was made like that they just made that
• 1:31:37
  over there and you but do you think
• 1:31:43
  so i don't i don't know i'm watching
• 1:31:46
  tv right and i see like welcome to
• 1:31:49
  wrexham and they the laws that it takes
• 1:31:52
  to build anything at the wrexham stadium
• 1:31:55
  and the amount of approvals it takes to
• 1:31:56
  go through that
• 1:32:04
  I'm sure there are spots you can do
• 1:32:06
  it,
• 1:32:06
  but your choices would be very limited.
• 1:32:15
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:32:16
  They'll go to an area.
• 1:32:18
  They won't travel.
• 1:32:19
  And a lot of them don't have passports,
• 1:32:21
  too, is what I heard.
• 1:32:24
  But they would only go to a place
• 1:32:26
  where English is predominantly a language,
• 1:32:30
  I feel like,
• 1:32:31
  at least for their first time over.
• 1:32:43
  There's plenty of us in the U.S.
• 1:32:45
  that are similar to Madison.
• 1:32:47
  I just think logistically, equipment.
• 1:32:53
  Like Carolyn said, Canada and the U.S.
• 1:32:57
  at the opening ceremonies of the games
• 1:32:59
  were so much of the athlete contingent.
• 1:33:06
  I don't even like hearing them talk about
• 1:33:08
  wanting to go back to California again
• 1:33:10
  next year.
• 1:33:13
  think that's a mistake i hated the price
• 1:33:16
  of everything in california yeah but it
• 1:33:20
  the vibe there was good for the elite
• 1:33:22
  part of the games the vibe was great
• 1:33:24
  at the masters games i don't want to
• 1:33:26
  like i really enjoyed myself and i enjoyed
• 1:33:28
  talking to the athletes and i enjoyed how
• 1:33:31
  easy it was to to walk up and
• 1:33:33
  talk to people uh alex i think if
• 1:33:39
  you're no way are they going to texas
• 1:33:41
  no
• 1:33:42
  There's just bad memories.
• 1:33:45
  And it's just too hot.
• 1:33:51
  They should go to Nashville.
• 1:33:52
  I'm okay with Nashville.
• 1:33:53
  No, they should not go to...
• 1:33:54
  You have to keep it in a smaller
• 1:33:57
  town than...
• 1:33:59
  I think that was part of the problem
• 1:34:01
  even with San Jose.
• 1:34:04
  The difference of Madison and you're
• 1:34:06
  welcomed as...
• 1:34:08
  They're so happy to have CrossFit there.
• 1:34:12
  You didn't even feel that in San Jose.
• 1:34:14
  There was a freaking Comic-Con convention
• 1:34:16
  that was larger than us.
• 1:34:19
  Could you do it somewhere like Minnesota?
• 1:34:21
  Is Minnesota kind of considered central in
• 1:34:23
  the States-ish?
• 1:34:26
  Middle-ish?
• 1:34:26
  North, north-central.
• 1:34:31
  Yeah, north.
• 1:34:31
  Something like Granite Games?
• 1:34:34
  Granite Games did well.
• 1:34:37
  The Nashville Regionals killed it.
• 1:34:43
  I don't like the idea of that for
• 1:34:44
  the games.
• 1:34:45
  I would love for them to go back
• 1:34:46
  to Madison.
• 1:34:47
  I love Madison.
• 1:34:49
  Any opportunity to go back to Madison,
• 1:34:50
  I'm down for.
• 1:34:51
  I love that place.
• 1:34:54
  The bad part about being a small area,
• 1:34:57
  unless you want to stay in a hotel
• 1:34:58
  room with bullet holes in the wall,
• 1:35:00
  you're paying a lot because they gouge
• 1:35:04
  because they're such a small area.
• 1:35:06
  In any big event,
• 1:35:08
  they're going to up the price of
• 1:35:10
  everything.
• 1:35:12
  Yeah, that's going to happen anywhere,
• 1:35:13
  but I mean, same as California,
• 1:35:16
  so it is what it is.
• 1:35:19
  I got a really nice hotel at a
• 1:35:21
  pretty decent price before they knew we
• 1:35:22
  were coming.
• 1:35:28
  Yeah, Ohio, I thought Columbus was...
• 1:35:35
  Yeah,
• 1:35:35
  Columbus would make sense with Rogue
• 1:35:37
  there, too.
• 1:35:38
  And it's a good town.
• 1:35:41
  I mean, same with Ann Arbor.
• 1:35:42
  Ann Arbor in Michigan would probably work
• 1:35:44
  too.
• 1:35:44
  There's a lot of fields there and sports.
• 1:35:47
  I like Ann Arbor.
• 1:35:49
  Well, Columbus has so many arenas,
• 1:35:54
  so many outdoor parks.
• 1:35:57
  You'd be able to do a lot.
• 1:36:00
  But anyway, that's enough about that.
• 1:36:05
  We'll let Bruce Edwards figure that stuff
• 1:36:08
  out.
• 1:36:11
  With that,
• 1:36:11
  I hope everybody has a great rest of
• 1:36:13
  your week.
• 1:36:14
  If you ordered shirts,
• 1:36:15
  they're in the mail.
• 1:36:17
  If you want a shirt,
• 1:36:19
  maybe Vicki can pull it up real quick
• 1:36:20
  again.
• 1:36:21
  QR code,
• 1:36:23
  thirty two dollars includes your shipping
• 1:36:27
  and I'll get them out as soon as
• 1:36:28
  I can.
• 1:36:29
  I'm trying to turn around fairly quickly.
• 1:36:32
  This is it.
• 1:36:33
  I'm wearing one right now.
• 1:36:35
  Um,
• 1:36:36
  thirty two dollars with that includes
• 1:36:38
  shipping.
• 1:36:39
  Uh, the Venmo and Cash App are there.
• 1:36:41
  Thirty two bucks.
• 1:36:42
  Boom, boom.
• 1:36:43
  If you are not in this country and
• 1:36:45
  you want a shirt,
• 1:36:46
  DM me and we'll figure out what the
• 1:36:48
  cost is and try to make it as
• 1:36:51
  affordable as possible for you.
• 1:36:54
  So with that,
• 1:36:56
  KDL says he thinks his is arriving.
• 1:36:59
  There's a bunch arriving tomorrow.
