3:13
So this weekend, you and I,
3:16
we root for college football teams that
3:21
have literally shit the bed.
3:24
Yeah.
3:27
Two weeks ago,
3:28
UCLA was a winless football team,
3:32
and both of us have now lost.
3:34
Both of our teams have lost to that
3:36
winless football team in subsequent
3:38
weekends.
3:39
Yep.
3:42
And pretty much just like run over.
3:46
Both teams.
3:47
Yeah, it wasn't.
3:48
I mean,
3:48
we started okay for the first like five
3:50
minutes and then it was just trash.
3:53
Absolute trash.
3:54
It was hard to sit through.
3:55
We were at the game.
3:56
It was hard.
3:57
Yeah.
4:01
So with all that,
4:02
I've been – last week I said I
4:04
was done with college football.
4:06
Yeah.
4:06
And then I dipped my toe back in
4:08
thinking, well,
4:09
they're going to beat Northwestern and
4:11
maybe I can just – and no.
4:15
Northwestern,
4:15
who has been blown out by so many
4:17
teams this year,
4:20
Nope.
4:21
Penn State goes on to lose,
4:22
and today they announced that they are
4:24
firing James Franklin,
4:26
which I'm okay with the move.
4:28
I just can't believe that they're willing
4:31
to pay.
4:32
I heard fifty million.
4:33
Jeff Baco is saying forty-nine million.
4:37
What's a million between friends?
4:41
But it... Holy shit.
4:45
Who has fifty million laying around?
4:48
Now this guy...
4:50
Who I actually like him as a person.
4:52
He just makes really poor coaching
4:54
decisions.
4:55
I think he's a good human being.
4:57
I think he teaches the kids well.
5:01
He just doesn't win in the big games.
5:03
And now he doesn't have to do a
5:06
thing.
5:08
And he's got fifty million in the bank.
5:12
Must be nice.
5:13
Somewhere to be.
5:17
I mean.
5:19
considered worth that much.
5:23
Oh, my goodness.
5:26
His career record is one oh four and
5:28
forty five.
5:29
Not bad.
5:30
Which at a lot of Michigan State,
5:31
that would be considered good.
5:32
Thanks.
5:37
But we strive for more at Penn State.
5:39
Yeah.
5:42
Literally, we were last year,
5:43
we were in the final four.
5:46
We were in the final four and
5:49
right down to the wire with Notre Dame
5:51
to go to the national championship game.
5:53
And yeah, it is.
5:59
NIL is a new era of football.
6:02
And I didn't always know this,
6:04
but like Penn State has graduated more
6:06
CEOs than any other university in the
6:09
country.
6:09
Wow.
6:10
And because of that,
6:12
they have these huge pockets to pay for
6:17
players.
6:18
Like they went all in,
6:19
like making sure players stayed,
6:22
that they had a good team coming in
6:24
this year.
6:25
And now they're willing to pay even more
6:27
to get rid of the coach to start
6:28
over.
6:29
It's crazy.
6:30
Yeah.
6:31
Because it was announced like soon after
6:32
the firing,
6:33
basically all the commits have
6:35
decommitted.
6:38
Oh, boy.
6:38
And are going to probably wait to see
6:40
who's coming in next.
6:41
Yeah.
6:44
Can't blame them.
6:46
Yeah.
6:47
So, man.
6:50
Just a wild.
6:50
So I started my day with the Penn
6:52
State loss.
6:53
My Pittsburgh Penguins then lost.
6:55
Then I decided to root for the Cubs
6:57
over the Brewers and they lost.
7:01
So I went to bed last night like
7:03
maybe I should just stop even naming a
7:06
team before an event.
7:10
Yeah.
7:10
Yeah.
7:12
Tigers shut the bed on Friday night.
7:14
That was a late game.
7:15
I did not,
7:16
couldn't even stay up for that very end
7:17
of it.
7:18
That went to fifteen innings, right?
7:20
Yeah.
7:21
I had went,
7:21
I went to bed in like the eleventh
7:23
and
7:25
Aaron comes into the room and I was
7:26
like, I like, well, like shut up.
7:28
And I was like, well, I said,
7:30
did they do it?
7:31
And he's like, yeah.
7:33
And I was like, Oh, and he goes,
7:35
wait, did you say, did, did they,
7:36
did they blow it?
7:37
And I said, no.
7:38
And so I had my hopes up for
7:41
like two minutes and then nope,
7:44
they blew it.
7:45
And I was like, Oh, speaking of Aaron,
7:50
Hopefully he doesn't take offense to this
7:52
or he's not watching the show.
7:55
When you posted your video of you at
7:58
the tailgate yesterday at Michigan State,
8:02
you pan and there's Aaron in the frame.
8:05
He's wearing the classic old school
8:08
windbreaker with a hat and the beard.
8:12
He looks like,
8:14
and I can't ever remember his name,
8:15
the assistant coach on Ted Lasso.
8:18
Oh, I don't know who that is.
8:20
In that flash,
8:23
I am sure that someone in the chat
8:25
knows, but you have to,
8:31
if we have a moment,
8:32
I'll look it up at some point during
8:33
the show.
8:34
Coach Beard.
8:35
His name is Coach Beard.
8:36
That's hilarious.
8:36
Yeah.
8:38
Yeah.
8:40
Coach Beard.
8:41
Yeah.
8:43
In that quick pan,
8:45
he looked like Coach Beard.
8:46
I was like, wait, what?
8:47
Because he always wears that classic
8:49
windbreaker.
8:53
I'll try to find a picture of him.
8:58
Anyway, I just wanted to end with that.
9:02
What I'm going to do is, right now,
9:03
I'm going to turn it over to you
9:04
because you were at Masters Fitness
9:06
Championship this weekend.
9:08
How...
9:10
How did, how,
9:13
I already know some of your thoughts.
9:15
I want,
9:15
I want it to be about how was
9:17
the event?
9:18
Like, how was it run?
9:20
How did,
9:20
how did it go for the athletes first?
9:25
Um, well,
9:26
I was only there Friday to be fair.
9:29
So, um, and I didn't even,
9:31
I haven't even watched the feed from
9:33
yesterday or today.
9:34
So I haven't caught up on the,
9:36
on the workouts except for
9:38
messaging with like,
9:38
I know how Ron and Terry did because
9:40
I've been messaging with them,
9:41
but I haven't been able to watch the
9:43
feeds.
9:44
Um, I was, so when we pulled up,
9:49
I was like, oh, this is, yeah,
9:50
this is a nice location.
9:52
Definitely different than the veterans
9:55
Memorial,
9:55
whatever that it's been in the last four
9:58
years, five years.
10:00
Um,
10:01
And you're right.
10:02
It's like it did have more of that
10:03
Columbus feel like it's right downtown.
10:06
You can walk outside, go get food.
10:09
So it was nice in that aspect because,
10:13
I mean,
10:13
you could just go out and grab something
10:15
to eat.
10:16
I didn't love the setup in there.
10:19
I just didn't feel like it was.
10:21
I don't know.
10:22
It just seemed it was like it was
10:24
carpeted.
10:26
It just didn't feel like a competition
10:29
floor venue.
10:30
It just was weird.
10:33
Well, it depends on the sound.
10:34
Yeah.
10:36
The sound is less.
10:37
And so that's where the original MFC was.
10:44
Right.
10:45
And so we're going back there.
10:46
And Dan Church says this was his favorite
10:48
MFC from his perspective.
10:51
Well, that's good to hear.
10:53
And Dan's there every year.
10:54
Yeah.
10:55
Yeah.
10:55
So that, that actually means something.
10:58
That's surprising to hear.
11:01
Um, cause I just,
11:02
I think there was like quite a few
11:05
programming issues.
11:07
Um, but me, I mean, I don't know,
11:09
it might've been like the perfect workouts
11:11
for Dan.
11:14
That's excellent.
11:18
So thoughts, does it look like Aaron?
11:20
I can totally see it.
11:20
I mean, Aaron's beard is way longer.
11:22
right right but a quick and a quick
11:24
pan that you did with it it looked
11:27
like coach beard yeah yeah that's funny um
11:34
when we first walked in the deadlift
11:37
handstand walk workout it was pretty dim
11:41
in there they by the second event they
11:44
turned the lights up so it wasn't so
11:46
dim in there but when i first walked
11:47
in i was like this is weird in
11:49
here like it's just it's so dark
11:52
Again, it just didn't feel, I don't know,
11:55
it didn't feel like a competition floor.
11:59
But once it was lighter and they got
12:01
over to the other floor with the rig
12:03
and stuff, sure.
12:06
I think that one was okay.
12:07
Again, it's just like, you know,
12:08
the twenty lanes, it's just so long.
12:11
Once again,
12:12
I couldn't tell where people were.
12:14
They didn't have that in,
12:15
I don't know if you noticed that,
12:17
like watching on the feed,
12:19
like what round are people in?
12:20
I have no idea how to follow anyone.
12:22
These workouts weren't well thought out in
12:24
that aspect to be able to follow the
12:26
story on the floor.
12:28
They needed either like a pile on or
12:29
to move something.
12:30
So you knew around people were on.
12:33
The guy announcing on the stream,
12:35
I thought was really good and actually
12:37
helped me know what was going on on
12:39
the floor.
12:40
But if you're there in person, like you,
12:41
you wouldn't know there's no.
12:43
Yeah.
12:44
Right.
12:46
But the twenty lanes is just a huge
12:49
miss always on a stream.
12:52
You cannot see the action going on.
12:56
I watched the first event with Ronica,
12:58
and she was out in the top five,
13:00
but she was in the first lane.
13:02
There's no way you're catching her plus
13:06
the middle lanes at the same time with
13:09
any meaningful view of the event.
13:11
Right.
13:14
Yeah.
13:15
And even that one, the way you finish,
13:19
cause you finished your handstand walk and
13:22
we did more deadlifts and then handstand
13:23
walk finished.
13:24
And that was also the finish mat.
13:26
There were people who like were coming
13:28
back from one handstand walk that I
13:30
weren't sure if they were done and resting
13:32
or needed to deadlift.
13:34
Like I had no clue if they were
13:35
done or not.
13:36
Right.
13:38
The same thing on the stream.
13:39
Yeah.
13:39
Yeah.
13:40
And, and as Ronica specifically,
13:43
I couldn't tell if she was resting or
13:45
if she was finished and she actually
13:48
turned out to be resting and then went
13:50
for another round.
13:51
I was like, Oh, Whoa,
13:52
she's got to go more.
13:53
Um, yeah, it was tough.
13:57
You know how I am about finish lines
13:59
without a specific finish line.
14:01
I, I,
14:03
that is my biggest pet peeve in the
14:05
sport.
14:06
And that one's for you, Katie.
14:07
Yeah.
14:10
The second workout was a little clearer,
14:14
but so many people finished on the total
14:16
bar that, again, you had no clue.
14:20
I mean,
14:20
if you finish the total bar and you
14:22
got to run to the finish line,
14:23
you knew they were done.
14:25
So that one was good.
14:25
But, like,
14:28
a few people finished that workout in all
14:29
the heats that I watched.
14:30
Like,
14:32
that's the biggest thing I noticed is,
14:34
once again, it was just overprogrammed.
14:37
there's an entire division of women that
14:40
didn't even show up.
14:42
I saw that.
14:43
Fifty-five to fifty-nine didn't even show
14:45
up.
14:45
Nobody.
14:46
That's.
14:48
Yeah.
14:49
I don't want to get into specific
14:51
programming because at this point,
14:52
I'm not even sure how relevant MFC is
14:56
anymore.
14:57
And I want to talk more about that
15:00
than I want to talk about the specific
15:01
programming.
15:03
Um,
15:04
train olive says they were going for the
15:06
wfp lighting they had no they had no
15:10
special lighting at all it was just him
15:11
yeah they were going for the rom-com
15:14
lighting yeah yeah mood lighting yes kdl
15:20
knows it all about the finish so i
15:23
want to talk about it in this sense
15:25
and i and i'm not here to dog
15:27
on mfc
15:29
Because I think they have developed over
15:32
the years to have a pretty good crew
15:34
running the show.
15:35
Oh, for sure.
15:37
Right.
15:37
From where they started to where they are
15:39
now,
15:40
they should be commended for that group of
15:42
people who have come together and run the
15:44
show.
15:46
But what I say relevance is Legends has
15:50
the games.
15:53
And then Legends West Coast gets all the
15:56
big names.
16:00
And less people aren't traveling across
16:01
the country.
16:02
They honestly go down this leaderboard of
16:05
individual athletes and someone that
16:08
follows the master sport like I do.
16:10
And I don't recognize ninety five percent
16:12
of the names.
16:14
That's a problem.
16:15
I agree.
16:17
But then I look at the podiums of
16:18
the teams and then I see people that
16:21
I know way more than I do on
16:23
the individuals.
16:25
Yet the highlight of the stream was the
16:28
individuals.
16:28
Right.
16:30
And we talked about this a little bit
16:31
last week,
16:34
either on the Sunday Night Show or during
16:35
the week.
16:38
They need to pick a lane and be
16:41
the best in that lane that they can
16:42
be.
16:46
Yeah,
16:46
and I feel like they're trying to be
16:50
like a mini games,
16:51
and I don't know if that's applicable.
16:52
Again, they're heavy players.
16:56
over-programmed workouts.
16:57
I just don't think it's applicable for the
16:58
field of athletes you're bringing in.
17:00
You have two games athletes in every
17:03
division.
17:03
There's not a deep enough field for people
17:06
to be able to do these workouts.
17:10
There isn't.
17:12
You're right.
17:12
They do program like they have the roster
17:16
they had
17:18
two three four years ago yes because the
17:21
first the first year they went they truly
17:24
were the games that year yeah because the
17:27
masters games got canceled and they
17:29
invited everybody who got invited to the
17:31
games to come compete and have a champion
17:35
for the year and every big name was
17:37
there and since then it has it has
17:43
depreciated in value because i think they
17:46
try to do too much
17:48
I agree.
17:49
I've said this before.
17:49
I think it's probably one of the best
17:51
comps.
17:53
I think it's incredibly well run.
17:56
I like the location.
17:57
Maybe some other people don't like the
17:59
location,
17:59
but it's nice to have something different
18:01
than Arizona or something out west for
18:04
people on this side of the country.
18:08
Normally,
18:08
I would say it's incredibly well rounded.
18:11
We typically swim every year that I've
18:14
done it.
18:15
I get that.
18:17
right now.
18:17
But um, yeah, I, I don't know,
18:20
it's like,
18:21
the prize issue and over programming
18:25
workouts,
18:25
like leads people away from wanting to
18:27
come back when you can't finish workouts.
18:30
Or you're only getting like around in and
18:32
you're like, I, you know,
18:33
I'm hurting myself,
18:34
there was a lot of withdraws,
18:35
I noticed that makes people not want to
18:37
come back.
18:38
That was an issue with the heavy sandbag.
18:40
I know,
18:41
like Haley's mom had come to that comp.
18:43
And she was like,
18:43
I'm not coming back to that comp.
18:45
Like,
18:46
That group can't move a hundred and fifty
18:48
pound sandbag.
18:48
They just stood there hurting themselves,
18:50
trying to pick up, you know,
18:51
like just weird stuff like people.
18:53
It's a bad experience for some people.
18:56
And yeah,
18:57
you don't necessarily want to make it more
18:59
just more inclusive to be more inclusive.
19:01
But you got to be smart about your
19:04
qualifiers that you do and know the level
19:06
of athletes that are coming and adjust
19:09
your workouts accordingly.
19:10
But I think it's incredibly well run.
19:12
I didn't see any issues.
19:13
We were off a little bit on time.
19:16
on the one,
19:16
but I think they do a really good
19:19
job.
19:19
Their team there judging,
19:21
judging looked good to me.
19:22
I didn't really see too many issues.
19:24
Yeah.
19:27
I just think that if you want to
19:30
be different,
19:30
do the two person teams and run with
19:33
it and try to be the best at
19:35
that, that you can be right.
19:38
And I heard from like Shanna as an
19:40
older athlete,
19:41
sometimes doing team competitions is just
19:44
easier on the body.
19:47
Yeah.
19:47
Right.
19:48
Especially if you're in the off season.
19:50
Right.
19:51
And,
19:51
and Shanna is a games champion and she
19:53
is,
19:53
has been around the sport for a long
19:55
time.
19:56
And that input means something.
19:58
Yeah.
20:00
so that's what I think that, that they,
20:02
they may have something with the two
20:03
person teams.
20:04
Cause when I looked at the podiums,
20:05
there were like big names that were games
20:08
competitors in that two person team event.
20:12
I just, it was hard to watch.
20:13
You couldn't really see it.
20:14
They didn't highlight it.
20:16
And, um,
20:19
And I've thought this since after the
20:21
first year.
20:22
In year two,
20:22
they thought they were bigger than they
20:24
were and tried to expand to do everything.
20:27
They did three-person teams.
20:28
They did individuals.
20:30
And then adding the – which I think
20:34
has been a hit,
20:35
the
20:39
But that was another expansion all at the
20:41
same time, trying to take all this on.
20:44
And before you had laid the groundwork of
20:48
what you should be.
20:50
And in all honesty,
20:51
they got rid of some people on the
20:53
executive team from those first couple of
20:55
years that needed to go.
20:57
And now we're very streamlined and have
20:59
their act together.
21:01
But they burnt some bridges in those early
21:03
years.
21:04
Yeah.
21:06
So I just think they need to.
21:09
I think every competition needs to take a
21:12
step back.
21:13
It's like JR runs an individual
21:16
competition at one point in the year.
21:19
Six months later,
21:20
he runs a team competition.
21:22
And they don't get slapped together in the
21:24
same event for half of it to be
21:26
lost.
21:31
I think if you look around the space,
21:33
you can see examples of people who do
21:35
it much better.
21:38
Well...
21:39
If you want the bigger names to come,
21:41
you have to pay.
21:43
You have to pay out of the podium
21:44
at these events.
21:47
Yeah.
21:48
That's just not happening anywhere.
21:49
And I think it's...
21:53
I think we've just recycled the same
21:55
sponsors way too much and nobody's being
21:58
creative about how to bring in other
21:59
money.
22:02
Yeah.
22:03
And that's frustrating.
22:03
And that's a much longer discussion.
22:08
So...
22:11
All right.
22:12
How did your athletes do at MFC?
22:16
Terry was seventh, and Ronica was last.
22:22
Other than the people with Drew.
22:24
Correct.
22:25
Because there are people that couldn't
22:26
complete.
22:28
She gets credit for completing, for sure.
22:33
So that's good for them.
22:36
Terry just keeps getting better and
22:37
better.
22:39
Mm-hmm.
22:41
And she's, I mean,
22:43
I'm trying to think how old she is
22:45
in that bracket.
22:46
Middle of the bracket, I guess.
22:47
I'm excited for her to age up and
22:50
see where she goes when she gets into
22:51
the next bracket.
22:53
Yeah,
22:53
because when I first got to know her,
22:55
she was an RX athlete.
22:57
She's now an elite athlete,
22:59
and she's now competitive.
23:01
It's been fun to watch that progression
23:02
for sure.
23:03
Totally agree.
23:04
All right, so...
23:09
I was going to go over the leaderboard,
23:10
but it's really hard.
23:11
But the teams are really where the names
23:13
are.
23:13
And I do want to say, your division,
23:17
I know more than any of them because
23:19
you're in it.
23:21
And I thought that Kate McGee beating Anna
23:23
Tobias was a pretty big upset.
23:26
And Kate's always been awesome to us and
23:30
the show.
23:30
And so I wanted to just give her
23:33
a shout out for that.
23:34
I was proud of her.
23:36
Yeah,
23:36
beating in at Tobias is something that I
23:38
would put somewhere on my wall,
23:42
a podium picture of me on the higher
23:44
podium or something,
23:46
because that's pretty freaking cool.
23:49
I know our guy Dan Church took fourth
23:51
in his division,
23:53
and now he gets to age up.
23:54
Awesome.
23:54
It's going to be interesting to see what
23:56
he does going up into that thirty five
23:58
to thirty nine year old division.
24:01
Really, that's.
24:03
I saw Megan Apostolaris.
24:05
Her team won their age group in the
24:08
teams.
24:11
So, yeah,
24:11
I'm trying to think of our listeners and
24:15
people who have been really good to the
24:17
show.
24:18
But, yeah,
24:18
it was really kind of starved for the
24:23
big names.
24:24
Yeah.
24:27
So let's play our new game, Pencil, Pen,
24:31
or Sharpie.
24:32
Okay.
24:34
So the way this works,
24:34
because I have not talked about it with
24:36
you or Carolyn.
24:38
I just threw it into the rundown.
24:40
So I'm going to give you a statement.
24:43
And you're going to tell me,
24:45
is the statement something that we should
24:47
write in pencil or that we can write
24:50
in pen or something that's so dead on
24:54
accurate?
24:55
Let's write it in Sharpie, big and bold.
24:58
Done deal.
24:59
Got it.
25:00
And Sharpies are the laundry marker.
25:02
You can put them in the wash and
25:03
it's still not going anyway.
25:05
Okay.
25:06
All right.
25:08
So I have these in the system.
25:13
So the first one,
25:16
basic thing we've been talking about.
25:19
Here it is.
25:19
Pencil, pen, or Sharpie.
25:21
CrossFit is no longer for sale.
25:24
So...
25:26
Kind of depends on how you interpret this
25:28
question.
25:28
You mean,
25:29
do you mean like there's not an active
25:31
buyer?
25:33
I would say that they've taken the sign
25:35
down.
25:37
I would say,
25:38
I would say pencil or I would say
25:40
pencil to that.
25:40
Cause I think every Susan has mentioned
25:44
this, anything's always for sale.
25:48
So I think it's for sure for sale.
25:51
Yeah.
25:51
But taking the sign down doesn't mean you
25:53
are actively looking for a buyer.
25:58
Always for sale means anybody could show
26:00
up and offer you money at any point
26:02
in time.
26:04
But actively shopping the company is a
26:07
different thing.
26:08
I feel like they might be.
26:10
I mean,
26:10
they might have realized it's not what
26:11
it's worth and they might be rethinking
26:15
some things or trying to,
26:16
I don't know what they could even do
26:18
more so on their book side to make
26:21
it appear more profitable.
26:24
I mean,
26:25
I think everyone knows that it's going to
26:26
be
26:31
I think the biggest problem is it's got
26:33
to be the right buyer.
26:35
And I don't know that CrossFit HQ right
26:41
now cares.
26:43
They don't care who the buyer is.
26:44
That's the problem.
26:46
The new buyer has to care.
26:50
So KDL went Penn.
26:53
Dan went Pencil.
26:55
Judy Reed goes Penn.
26:58
I'm going Penn.
27:00
I think they've picked up some traction
27:04
and I think that they believe that they
27:09
can now make more money if they hold
27:11
off.
27:12
So they've pulled down the for sale sign
27:15
and they're going,
27:15
going to continue down this path and see
27:18
if they can get the books a little
27:20
bit better before they go a backup on
27:22
the market.
27:23
Yeah.
27:23
I think they're crazy thinking that.
27:27
I don't think that they are going in
27:29
the right direction.
27:31
think all the people that came out to
27:32
try to compete against them are having
27:35
their own issues and people are seeing and
27:38
they've actually made improvements in
27:39
addition we got to give them credit for
27:41
that and that now people are seeing that
27:44
maybe this is the the most viable option
27:46
if we're going to move forward i just
27:49
think in the end venture capitalists just
27:52
doesn't care about anything but the bottom
27:54
line and i don't think that that's what
27:56
benefits crossfit
27:58
then why did they show up to mayhem
28:00
to see how mayhem runs their business?
28:04
I don't know.
28:05
They're scrambling, trying to find other,
28:06
I don't know.
28:07
They realize they're not doing things
28:08
right.
28:08
But I, I still, I still don't think,
28:11
I think their motive is, I mean,
28:15
maybe it doesn't matter what their motive
28:16
is per se, but I do.
28:17
I think, I don't know.
28:20
All right.
28:23
We agree to disagree.
28:24
Okay.
28:26
not saying sharpie but i'm saying pen yeah
28:29
right yeah and claire says i like this
28:31
game concept thank you thank you looking
28:35
for something to make it fun so here
28:39
is the next one pencil pen or sharpie
28:43
tia will win her ninth championship in the
28:45
twenty twenty six season
28:48
And I was very careful to say win
28:51
in the twenty twenty six.
28:53
I know.
28:54
Because I would say Sharpie show when she
28:56
will win a ninth championship.
28:58
I think I got to say pencil to
28:59
this until we get more information for
29:02
her, see her compete again.
29:03
Like the fact that she's not doing rogue.
29:07
Has me questioning things.
29:08
Have we have we even seen any training
29:11
footage?
29:12
Anything?
29:13
Has there been any updated posts?
29:14
Not that I've seen.
29:15
I don't follow her very closely, but.
29:20
that's pencil to me because like if she
29:22
happens to be pregnant or I don't know
29:29
KDL Sharpie wow fluffy fit pencil Judy
29:37
Reed is making her own game up saying
29:40
dry erase marker right Judy so I'm
29:45
assuming that's a pencil yeah
29:49
I got to go pencil too.
29:50
Yeah.
29:52
The pregnancy thing is so unknown and
29:55
that's every,
29:56
that's everything that this is resting on.
29:59
Yep.
30:00
Totally.
30:00
Is pregnancy.
30:00
If she's not pregnant, it's Sharpie.
30:03
I agree.
30:05
If,
30:06
and we just don't know which one way
30:09
or the other.
30:09
Yep.
30:11
Yeah.
30:13
Yeah.
30:13
All right.
30:15
Cool.
30:16
So next one, pencil, pen,
30:19
or Sharpie WFP will still be around for
30:23
season three.
30:28
I think I'm going to say pen.
30:31
I think they're hard had enough to push
30:33
it for a few years.
30:35
I think they have the capital behind it
30:37
to be able to sustain it.
30:39
And I don't know that they would just
30:42
pull out that quickly.
30:44
Um, so I think, I think pen.
30:52
I kind of want to go pencil.
30:55
Okay.
30:55
Um, and I,
30:58
and I want to go pencil because I,
31:03
I think it all depends on what
31:05
partnerships they can garner after the,
31:10
um,
31:13
after the championship in copenhagen yeah
31:16
once they do one season if they can
31:18
land a streaming service or like adidas is
31:22
a full sponsor or something like that then
31:25
i think it's it's a little more possible
31:29
um but if they don't i think next
31:33
year is probably it
31:36
and we have pencil from kenneth because
31:40
they're washed uh dan church says pen uh
31:45
fluffy fit pen out of stubbornness exactly
31:49
that's my uh every day is an opportunity
31:51
i want elisa foliano to come in and
31:54
f up um judy reed pen pencil the
31:59
year after for sure yeah so
32:08
Yeah,
32:08
so I'm going pencil until I see what
32:10
they can land for partners in the
32:13
offseason.
32:19
And Seema back on our last one.
32:21
Tia hasn't posted on her channel in a
32:23
long time.
32:25
And I think the reels are like older.
32:27
Yes.
32:30
I think they're like games time.
32:31
Sneaky.
32:36
They have so much stock footage.
32:39
Yeah, I don't know.
32:47
KDL,
32:48
if year three they make exclusivity
32:51
contracts and we'll only have five
32:52
athletes.
32:56
Yeah.
32:58
All right, number four.
33:00
pencil, pen,
33:01
or Sharpie rich will step away from the
33:04
greater CrossFit as he calls it.
33:09
He's not going to step away from the
33:10
methodology.
33:11
That's what I wanted to like.
33:12
That's why I meant greater CrossFit.
33:15
He's going to step away from HQ and
33:18
still do CrossFit.
33:21
I'm going to say pencil because I,
33:23
I don't think he wants to,
33:25
I think he wants to figure out a
33:26
way to, uh,
33:28
I mean,
33:28
maybe if this meeting happens and they can
33:30
come to a greater page,
33:31
although I see your comment later.
33:34
Full disclosure,
33:35
I haven't watched the Savant show with
33:37
Dave yet.
33:37
So maybe there's some more stuff I don't
33:40
really know about.
33:41
I'm going to say Pencil.
33:42
I don't think he wants to.
33:50
I don't even think it gets written down.
33:52
I don't think he does.
33:55
I don't even think it's in question.
33:57
I think that he knows like,
34:00
so I guess I would say pencil.
34:02
I think he wants to move forward together
34:05
because I think he realizes that they can
34:08
move together further.
34:12
Could he walk away and do his own
34:13
thing and be somewhat successful?
34:15
Sure.
34:16
But I think within the, inside the sphere,
34:21
he would even be more successful.
34:23
I agree with that.
34:27
So, I will go Pencil.
34:31
Dan with the jab.
34:33
Only if it helps his wallet, Pencil.
34:37
KDL, I have no idea on this one.
34:40
It's a tough one.
34:41
John George Pencil.
34:43
Terry Pencil.
34:45
Fluffy Fit Pencil.
34:47
I mean,
34:47
he's all but said if it sells to
34:49
another venture capitalist,
34:52
he would go out on his own.
34:53
He doesn't want to see it go that
34:54
way.
34:56
So, I mean...
34:58
Yeah, it's a tough one.
35:00
John George makes a great point.
35:02
Mayhem needs CrossFit, in my opinion.
35:04
The funny part is CrossFit only costs him
35:06
forty five hundred dollars a year.
35:09
Which is true.
35:13
Yeah.
35:13
And he makes way more off of the
35:16
methodology and what they do than forty
35:20
five hundred.
35:22
Holly says pencil wouldn't want to,
35:25
but can't keep waiting to see what HQ
35:27
does.
35:28
Hashtag or whatever the slash to say.
35:30
Yeah, exactly.
35:33
Then why doesn't he join?
35:34
I don't even want to bring up that
35:35
name.
35:35
It's Arcadia.
35:37
Oh my gosh.
35:38
I can't even,
35:40
did you see how many reels that man
35:41
has posted about me in the last three
35:44
days?
35:45
No.
35:46
Yeah.
35:47
I'm just his new punching bag.
35:49
Um,
35:51
he was in the chat on my friday
35:53
show and now he he has clipped it
35:57
and with all of his stuff on it
36:01
uh john george says who uh frank frank
36:04
the head of the apparently all the
36:08
affiliates who want to buy crossfit um and
36:13
he has made these blanket statements which
36:15
have turned out to be false yeah um
36:18
And he was quoting me that Dave has
36:20
met with him.
36:22
But Dave also shared my thing that I
36:24
said he was delusional.
36:26
That's the only thing that Dave has ever
36:28
shared of mine was me saying Frank was
36:30
delusional.
36:31
That's great.
36:37
Don't say his name again or it's three
36:39
times.
36:40
Yes.
36:43
Sounds like he has a crush on you.
36:44
Oh, my gosh.
36:47
just need to block him like everybody else
36:49
i probably do yeah but he's tagged me
36:54
and like he tagged me in something right
36:56
before we went on the air tonight oh
36:59
boy like it's just because i think hillar
37:02
blocked him and he can't attack killer
37:04
anymore and so i don't follow him so
37:05
i don't say anything maybe i should but
37:08
i don't think i need to
37:10
So, Judy,
37:11
I do want to he's he did say
37:14
that in my comments on YouTube last week
37:17
that Don Fall met with him twice.
37:20
Here it is.
37:21
Don Fall met with him as a favor
37:24
to Dave early on before everybody knew he
37:27
was bat shit crazy.
37:29
Right.
37:29
Right.
37:30
right he's an affiliate owner he has this
37:32
group that want to to form a coalition
37:36
and dawn met with him okay i can
37:38
i can get that the other time dawn
37:41
met with him was to tell him that
37:43
they were going to de-affiliate him wow
37:46
really count as i got a meeting with
37:49
dawn nope
37:56
And Frank says that himself.
37:57
I'm not even making that shit up.
37:58
He said it in the comments.
38:01
Or in the chat or whatever.
38:04
So.
38:04
That's crazy.
38:09
I did not know that.
38:10
Yeah, I am so clear.
38:12
One thing.
38:12
The problem is, Jenny,
38:13
is I didn't know who he was because
38:15
he he has this new Instagram called
38:18
unbuyable.
38:19
And I didn't know that was him until
38:21
it was too late.
38:24
And now I've just got to block it.
38:31
Yeah, that's the back story, Judy,
38:34
that I figured out through all of his
38:37
spewing at me over the last week and
38:40
a half.
38:45
So, all right, back to our game.
38:52
Fifth one, pencil, pen, or Sharpie.
38:54
The twenty twenty six CrossFit games will
38:56
be in Northern California.
38:59
And the reason I put this here is
39:01
because Dave was asked this on Savan last
39:04
night and said that he didn't know,
39:08
but he does know what he can't say,
39:11
I think is how he put it exactly.
39:14
I'm going to say I'm going to say
39:15
Sharpie because I haven't used it and I
39:17
just think it leads leads to that.
39:22
uh katie l sharpie um clock chalk um
39:29
pen sema um terry penn john george pencil
39:42
um judy reed i say sharpie uh john
39:46
george i'm wishing for pencil
39:48
I am.
39:49
I'm wishing for pencil too.
39:50
Don't get me wrong.
39:51
I'm wishing for pencil too,
39:52
but I think it's Sharpie.
39:53
Right.
39:55
I'm going Sharpie.
39:55
I'm pretty, I'm pretty convinced.
39:57
It's the twentieth anniversary of the
39:59
games.
40:00
He wants it somewhere near the ranch to
40:02
possibly pull something off.
40:04
I'm guessing to maybe take people to the
40:08
ranch.
40:10
And he can only do that if it's
40:11
close.
40:14
And so I think that is what they're
40:15
looking for.
40:16
What surprised me on the Savant interview
40:18
is there is a rumor floating out there
40:21
that it's Northern California this year
40:26
back to Albany next year.
40:30
And I cannot fathom the venue itself is,
40:35
is fine.
40:36
inside it is fine it is just in
40:39
a weird weird place in new york that
40:43
you know it it hasn't been lifted up
40:46
in a while yeah and i i just
40:49
don't know i don't know uh dan church
40:56
says pen clock am i delusional or did
41:00
i hear something about games event at
41:02
moffett field that's norcal
41:06
I don't know what Moffett Field is,
41:08
so I don't know.
41:14
I don't know.
41:19
I haven't heard that, so.
41:22
I think for sure we're going back to
41:23
NorCal for twenty.
41:30
Whatever happened to Alabama?
41:31
It was the A Troop Games in twenty
41:34
twenty four.
41:35
Yeah, it was awful.
41:38
I would not go back there.
41:38
Yeah, please no, never.
41:40
Never Birmingham again.
41:43
That place was so hard to get around.
41:45
Yep.
41:46
There was nothing.
41:48
You stayed near the venue,
41:49
but there was like nothing to eat or
41:51
drink anywhere near the venue.
41:54
It was awful.
41:56
Yeah.
41:57
Chris Alford,
41:58
open announcements at Moffett Field.
42:01
Is that the one that James announced?
42:03
That's the airfield thing or whatever with
42:05
the planes that they did.
42:08
Maybe.
42:10
I know that James did one,
42:14
the other ones at Waterpalooza and the
42:16
other one has not been announced.
42:18
Yeah.
42:19
Twenty six to Jenny says yes.
42:22
OK.
42:22
OK.
42:24
Just open announcement.
42:25
Yeah.
42:27
All right.
42:29
Last one.
42:31
Pencil, pen, or Sharpie?
42:33
Laura Horvath will never compete in the
42:35
CrossFit game season again.
42:42
I'm going to say pen.
42:48
I think maybe it depends on if it
42:51
sells and who becomes new ownership.
42:53
But also,
42:55
if that takes a while and she...
42:58
What if she can't even qualify at that
42:59
point?
42:59
I don't know.
43:01
I don't know.
43:03
It is a tough paycheck to give up
43:05
if you think you can go finish podium.
43:11
I am all in on Sharpie.
43:12
Yeah.
43:15
If she can still qualify for Rogue without
43:18
doing the game season.
43:23
Do you think...
43:26
You mean get an invite to Rogue?
43:28
Because I think she could probably do the
43:30
Rogue qualifier and get herself there.
43:33
Probably.
43:34
She wants to get invited.
43:38
I think that she just wants to be
43:39
able to do Rogue.
43:41
If she in her mind thinks I can
43:43
get into Rogue every year,
43:44
then I think it's Sharpie.
43:46
She's never coming back.
43:47
Yeah, I can see that.
43:52
I don't think she wants to deal with
43:53
all of the stuff around it.
43:56
the community, the, the people.
44:00
And I don't even think it matters who
44:02
buys or sells or whatever.
44:07
So we have a John George pencil.
44:09
We have Katie L pencil,
44:11
Jenny with a Sharpie,
44:12
a fluffy fit with a super Sharpie.
44:14
Nice.
44:17
Kenneth, she wants the money.
44:18
I don't know.
44:19
I don't think,
44:19
I think she has enough and I don't
44:21
really think she gives two shits about the
44:23
season.
44:25
Um, Dan church pen, uh, clock brand new,
44:31
never used before Sharpie.
44:33
Wow.
44:34
Those are, those are dark and black too.
44:37
Uh, Terry, hopefully Sharky Sharpie.
44:39
I agree.
44:44
Uh, there is the sponsors issue,
44:46
but her sponsors are Adidas now.
44:49
Right.
44:49
And Red Bull.
44:50
Right.
44:51
And I think they are really content with
44:53
her at WFP.
44:54
Yep.
44:56
and rogue i'm sure and rogue so i
45:00
don't i don't really think at this point
45:03
they care and if you're sponsored you're
45:07
right like fluffy fit red bull is total
45:11
fu money they don't they have so much
45:13
money they don't care and they would just
45:19
she's fine
45:24
enrique noriega i hopefully she won't like
45:27
the rest of the people who turn their
45:28
backs on crossfit i'm not quite that harsh
45:33
about it um i i'm not i'm a
45:40
pretty forgiving person um
45:45
But I did want to put something in
45:47
here,
45:47
but I just couldn't figure out how to
45:49
word it was.
45:50
So I just went with Laura.
45:52
But like of all the people who said
45:55
we're gone,
45:57
do you think we'll have a lot back?
46:02
No, I don't.
46:02
I don't think we will.
46:06
And so I was thinking like,
46:08
do you think fully auto comes back ever?
46:10
Do you think Emmett tall comes back ever?
46:13
Pat Vellner, you know,
46:14
cause Pat said like,
46:16
he may come back and do one last
46:18
lap, um,
46:21
as kind of his final season when he
46:22
was on with coffee pods and wads,
46:24
but it did depend on certain things.
46:26
He said it's he, his quote was,
46:29
it would seem silly to not do the
46:31
games over a petty argument.
46:33
Okay.
46:36
I don't know that it's necessarily petty
46:37
in some people's minds when you're
46:39
telling,
46:40
trying to get them fired from their
46:42
livelihood.
46:43
Like that's not petty.
46:45
Right.
46:45
And that was kind of the argument on
46:46
Siobhan last night is that doesn't seem
46:48
very petty when you're trying to get
46:49
people fired and you're,
46:51
you're almost like downplaying your own
46:53
argument.
46:54
Absolutely.
46:55
By first it's so bad.
46:57
We can't compete now.
47:00
Well, it's only a petty argument,
47:01
so I can't come back.
47:02
You're, you're like,
47:06
You're defeating your own stand.
47:12
Yeah,
47:12
I would say most of those people you...
47:15
I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see
47:16
most of them back.
47:17
Yeah.
47:22
I mean, and Pat's... What,
47:23
is Pat thirty-five next year?
47:25
He's thirty-five now, I believe.
47:27
He turned thirty-five this year?
47:28
Yeah.
47:32
I do think Pat's incredibly fit and could
47:33
probably still make it,
47:34
but you're getting,
47:34
you're starting to turn into the realm of
47:38
even if he wants to come back,
47:39
you may not qualify.
47:41
Enrique Noriega.
47:42
Do you think coming back will make them
47:44
look as liars or fair weather people?
47:47
Again, I'm a,
47:48
I'm a pretty forgiving person, right?
47:51
I had my issue with Guido Trinidad this
47:55
week.
47:57
I forgive him and we've had it.
47:59
We've had a discussion.
48:00
Everything's fine.
48:01
Oh, you did?
48:04
I was so confused on that.
48:04
Dave last night said,
48:06
if they come back and they qualify through
48:08
the process, more power to them,
48:11
we'll welcome them back with open arms.
48:13
And if the guy who they wanted fired
48:15
is saying that,
48:16
why should I be completely upset as well?
48:22
But you can tell when Savan was trying
48:25
to play Pat clips,
48:27
he didn't want to hear it.
48:29
Until there is that, they're back.
48:33
They are dead to him until it happens.
48:35
But if they qualify through the process,
48:38
welcome back.
48:44
If Pat comes back,
48:45
he needs to be booed in a friendly
48:47
way.
48:48
I think he will probably get a smattering
48:50
of booze,
48:51
but if Ricky Garrard can come back from
48:53
a four-year drug suspension and not be
48:56
booed, and I was there at that games,
48:59
like it would,
48:59
I think it would take a lot for
49:01
this community to turn.
49:02
People love Pat.
49:03
He is a, he's just, I mean,
49:07
you can see it at, at Wadapalooza.
49:10
People love Pat.
49:11
Yeah.
49:13
I do.
49:14
I do believe that the European athletes
49:16
are probably gone for good.
49:19
think they took things in a completely
49:20
different way and it it hurt them more
49:24
when lazar died and so i think they
49:27
are gone for good yep and and i
49:33
like some of them like i like him
49:34
at all and i like elisa fuliano and
49:37
i would love to see them again um
49:39
at the games but i just i don't
49:40
think it's happening so
49:46
That is the end of our new game,
49:49
Pencil, Pen, or Sharpie.
49:51
Let us know what you thought in the
49:53
comments.
49:54
And just changing it up.
49:56
Usually we do fact or fiction.
49:58
This way it allows a little bit more
50:02
art and flair to it in how we
50:05
discuss the topics.
50:06
I like it.
50:08
So next up we have...
50:16
jenny likes it kdl ten out of ten
50:19
judy fun game scott yeah cool um uh
50:28
fighting squad club i'll talk about this
50:30
stuff during the week um during my
50:32
personal show but i want to kind of
50:34
stick to the agenda tonight uh john george
50:37
likes it so next up is crash
50:44
And we're going to talk about the
50:46
workouts,
50:48
and then we will talk about who we
50:51
pick to do well.
50:55
And I've lost my mouse, apparently.
50:57
Uh-oh.
50:59
It was only at four percent when we
51:00
started the show.
51:02
Oh, no.
51:03
So I have to go to the touchpad.
51:06
There we go.
51:08
All right.
51:09
These are...
51:11
So workout one is an AMRAP of five
51:13
minutes, nine power snatch,
51:16
twenty one wall balls, rest a minute,
51:18
and then an AMRAP in five minutes of
51:20
twenty one box jump overs with step down,
51:23
nine strict handstand pushups.
51:26
Score is total reps in those two AMRAPs.
51:30
Love it.
51:30
Yeah, it's a good one.
51:35
And what's cool about this,
51:36
if people do not know,
51:37
if you have not seen it,
51:38
these are the workouts that JR gave Brooke
51:42
Wells and Jason Hopper when they came
51:45
together to train.
51:47
Okay.
51:48
Uh, what was that?
51:50
Like,
51:50
I think that was for the twenty four
51:51
games.
51:51
Yeah.
51:53
He took those workouts and that is what
51:55
this that's why it's called camp this
51:57
year.
51:58
That was like a camp that they had
51:59
done and he took the workouts from that
52:01
and put them into this, uh, this event.
52:08
Um, five AM squad club.
52:09
That first one is ouch.
52:10
Oh, yeah.
52:13
Well, AMRAPs are going to be that way.
52:16
We've talked a lot about there shouldn't
52:18
be AMRAPs in competition,
52:21
but we're starting off with one.
52:23
Any thoughts about that?
52:24
Are they doing Peace Corps again?
52:27
I believe so.
52:28
I don't know.
52:35
I feel like if you're going to P-score,
52:37
it's probably okay.
52:39
These are the qualifier workouts,
52:41
apparently.
52:42
That's the one pinned at the top.
52:43
I was going to say,
52:45
this one doesn't look familiar to me,
52:46
so I can't imagine that says online
52:49
qualifier right there.
52:54
Yep, it does.
52:56
I could have sworn everything I saw was
52:58
heavy.
52:59
Why would they pin the qualifier at the
53:01
top?
53:05
I Yeah, I don't know.
53:08
The events.
53:10
Is this it?
53:16
I believe I have it.
53:18
Okay.
53:20
Hopefully.
53:24
I swear I had my glasses on.
53:28
Is this the first event?
53:28
Yes.
53:30
Open season.
53:31
Okay.
53:32
Okay.
53:34
Uh, I'm not going to read this out.
53:35
It's a lot,
53:36
but it's basically toes to bar double
53:38
unders and front squats.
53:40
The front squat gets heavier.
53:42
Um, and it's a two inch bar at,
53:48
at, on the toes to bar.
53:50
Yeah.
53:50
It's like a fat bar.
53:52
Apparently that's gnarly.
53:56
So freaking heavy in my opinion.
54:02
So, yeah,
54:04
credit to Jenny for being a technical
54:06
expert on the show.
54:09
Yes, thank you.
54:11
So you love toes-to-bar,
54:13
so I'm assuming you love this.
54:15
I hate the squat.
54:16
I wouldn't even be able to do this
54:18
workout,
54:19
which I'm curious if the –
54:22
masters have a separate workout um because
54:24
jr did reach out to me and ask
54:26
if asked if i wanted to come and
54:27
i obviously had the surgery scheduled so i
54:30
said i couldn't do it but he was
54:32
saying that they were lighter this year
54:34
for masters because when i now that i
54:38
see these workouts i'm like thank god i
54:39
didn't agree to go do this like i
54:42
would have been standing around these are
54:45
way too heavy
54:51
Okay.
54:53
Yeah, that's pretty heavy.
54:56
The next one is four-round G unit,
54:59
four rounds for time,
55:01
seven or six ring muscle-ups,
55:03
thirty-inch P-bar traverse.
55:07
No, P-bar.
55:08
Yeah, the parallel bars.
55:09
Okay.
55:10
And then GHD sit-ups,
55:12
thirty-foot P-bar traverse.
55:16
Time cap, twelve minutes.
55:21
Yeah, not bad.
55:22
Very, I mean, oh,
55:25
those ring muscle-ups are going to get
55:26
rough after those traverses.
55:31
Yeah, that's a lot.
55:32
That's a good workout.
55:34
It's a lot of triceps.
55:35
It's a ton of triceps.
55:40
All right.
55:40
Hindsight, twenty thirty,
55:42
six minute window row, burpee over block,
55:47
overhead squats, biker.
55:50
And then the next, gosh, eight minutes,
55:54
you have the same four movements with
55:56
twenty box clears.
55:59
And then.
56:01
For tough previous than the last eight
56:03
minutes or no more than that.
56:05
Ten minutes.
56:07
We have the previous five movements plus
56:09
thirty pill squats.
56:16
Hundred and seventy on the pill squats.
56:19
That is crazy.
56:20
That's long.
56:21
You love long, though.
56:23
I just.
56:26
I don't.
56:27
I mean, what is it?
56:28
One hundred.
56:30
Seventy on the overhead squat?
56:32
Yep.
56:33
Okay.
56:33
That's reasonable.
56:35
Yeah, I like this workout.
56:39
I don't like box clears.
56:40
I think that's wild.
56:48
Jenny says it's gnarly.
56:50
I think so, too.
56:53
It's no more gnarly than the hundreds
56:54
workout was.
56:58
Um, llama, fifty foot sled drag,
57:01
nine kettlebell deadlifts,
57:03
fifty foot sled drag,
57:05
fifty foot sled drag.
57:09
Fifteen kettlebell deadlifts,
57:10
fifty foot sled drag,
57:12
fifty foot sled drag,
57:14
twenty-one kettlebell deadlifts,
57:15
fifty foot sled drag.
57:18
So I'm assuming you have to go up,
57:20
then you have to go back down.
57:24
Or you go up, do the deadlifts,
57:25
then down, and then back up,
57:27
do more deadlifts, down, and then up.
57:33
What are those two kettlebells,
57:36
a hundred and five?
57:39
The kettlebells are one,
57:44
are one fifties and one Oh sixes.
57:46
That's that's crazy.
57:49
I'm not even, Oh my God.
57:56
Yeah, your lines are doing well,
57:57
by the way.
57:58
Well, I saw it was three to six.
58:00
Now,
58:01
I do see it's nine to six right
58:02
now.
58:02
Aaron's got it on in the back.
58:05
And I just hit the extra point.
58:07
Oh, good.
58:08
Excellent.
58:10
Poolgatory is four hundred meter run,
58:13
pull one, four hundred meter run,
58:15
pull two, four hundred meter run,
58:17
pull three, four hundred meter run.
58:19
What are you pulling?
58:22
Rope times.
58:23
Yeah.
58:23
Rope climb and then pegboard descent and
58:26
then rope climbs.
58:27
I like that.
58:28
Cut, cut, rope climbs, pegboard descent,
58:31
and then standard rope climb.
58:33
This will be a fun one.
58:34
I think this one will be exciting.
58:36
I like,
58:36
I like that he incorporates the run there
58:38
outside the gym.
58:40
Uh,
58:41
danger church is claiming it's a circus.
58:44
Well, I agree.
58:45
I'm,
58:45
I'm thankful that I'm not going to be
58:47
quite honest.
58:48
Is there, Oh,
58:50
you can do the poll in any.
58:52
Okay.
58:53
Well, that may,
58:55
it'll be interesting to see people's
58:57
strategies.
58:57
I like that twist.
59:03
Yeah, pulgatory with a pill.
59:05
This is pulgatory because you're pulling.
59:10
Then we have, come on, precedents.
59:19
Four strict parallel handstand pushups,
59:22
two finisher flips, six rounds for time.
59:27
It's so like the flip slide thing.
59:30
It says finisher flips.
59:34
I mean,
59:34
that weight makes me think it's the flip
59:36
slide.
59:36
That looks incredibly heavy too.
59:41
And that is the entire,
59:44
entire work all the weekend.
59:47
Yeah.
59:51
Um, I, I love heavy workouts.
59:53
Even I see this as heavy just for
59:55
the sake of heavy.
59:56
It's too much, even for elite.
59:57
I agree.
1:00:03
It's not really like Jr.
1:00:04
I, that it's interesting.
1:00:10
So I will then look for the roster
1:00:14
and we will have our picks.
1:00:19
Maybe.
1:00:22
There we go.
1:00:23
Not having my mouse has made this very
1:00:25
difficult.
1:00:28
So let's let's look at the masters real
1:00:30
quick.
1:00:31
Because we do masters on this show.
1:00:35
And sure.
1:00:45
So on the men's side,
1:00:47
we have Andrew Bennett, Christopher Pin,
1:00:50
Pineto, uh, Donnie Pearson, Eric Thomas,
1:00:54
Hudson Frick, uh, Jake Dixon, Dickinson,
1:00:57
Mark Hutchinson, Nick Martin, Roy Cohen,
1:01:00
Rudy Berger, Travis Flanagan, Zach Gibbon.
1:01:03
Um,
1:01:11
I'm going to say Hudson probably.
1:01:14
I'm trying to think how strong he is.
1:01:16
Zach will do really well,
1:01:18
but Zach is a little bit like me.
1:01:21
And, like, again,
1:01:22
so this depends on if the weights are
1:01:24
different for Masters.
1:01:26
I'd have to know what the Masters workouts
1:01:27
are.
1:01:28
If it's a little more gymnastic-y and not
1:01:33
so weight heavy,
1:01:37
I will say Zach will probably be towards
1:01:39
the front there.
1:01:42
Yeah,
1:01:42
I would say just by looking at names,
1:01:46
I would say Hudson is probably my pick
1:01:49
to win.
1:01:50
I think Mark Hutchinson will do well if
1:01:52
he doesn't go too hard too early.
1:01:55
That seems to be his M.O.,
1:01:58
um and i and you know i'm friends
1:02:00
with rudy berger so of course i'm going
1:02:01
to be rooting for him but he is
1:02:03
like forty three now forty three forty
1:02:06
four uh so he's really on that upper
1:02:08
end probably of this class and heavy is
1:02:11
not his big right wheelhouse right um so
1:02:18
uh john george is rooting for roy roy
1:02:20
is roy is excellent he's a a fellow
1:02:24
ttt or i see him all the time
1:02:24
in there
1:02:28
Then we look at the women,
1:02:29
and it's not a big field this year.
1:02:32
Allison Beaver, Brianna Wallen,
1:02:34
Caroline Klutz, Cara Petruzzelli,
1:02:38
Mackenzie Riley, Rebecca Stidham.
1:02:42
I mean, I got to go with Caroline.
1:02:44
Yeah.
1:02:47
Yep.
1:02:48
Yes, Roy is a lot like me also.
1:02:50
Super fit, super heavy,
1:02:51
not necessarily heavy.
1:02:57
So Mackenzie Riley's probably going to
1:03:00
hang in there.
1:03:01
Oh, for sure.
1:03:03
So I would say between Caroline and
1:03:05
Mackenzie is who I would,
1:03:08
I would lay picks on.
1:03:11
All right, let's go to the main event.
1:03:21
i can find it sure i saw it
1:03:25
here just oh here we nope here it
1:03:27
is all right here are the men's i'm
1:03:34
not going through the big list the big
1:03:36
names we have colton mertens conor voles
1:03:40
uh dane smith uh drake lewis jacob marlow
1:03:46
john wood
1:03:48
Caden Myers, Luke Dijon, Mason Griffin,
1:03:54
Matthias Porter, Max Krieg,
1:03:56
Mike Needleman, Nate Ackerman,
1:04:01
Tanner Blaz.
1:04:03
Am I missing any of those?
1:04:05
No, that Ilya Moskalenko,
1:04:09
isn't he the really, really strong guy?
1:04:12
Probably.
1:04:13
I'd be curious how he does this weekend.
1:04:19
I mean,
1:04:19
I think Colton's probably your winner.
1:04:25
Yeah.
1:04:28
I'm trying to think who else out of
1:04:29
here is incredibly strong.
1:04:31
I mean, I think Mason's pretty strong.
1:04:38
Yeah,
1:04:39
I think Nate Ackerman's getting there.
1:04:41
Yeah.
1:04:46
I just don't know where he is right
1:04:47
now.
1:04:54
uh john george is going colton luke toss
1:04:58
up for three luke dejon he's not very
1:05:01
strong is he katie l says he withdrew
1:05:07
or something but i i i've not seen
1:05:10
that um i don't know i'd say max
1:05:17
creed could be up there i think nate
1:05:19
ackerman's a pretty good pick
1:05:24
Then on the women's side,
1:05:28
we have Allie Zerke, Amy Hosking,
1:05:31
Brittany Weiss, but she withdrew too,
1:05:34
I believe.
1:05:36
Oh, geez.
1:05:37
Caitlin Bernadine, Carolyn Stanley,
1:05:41
Erica Folo, Faith Ferguson, Hannah Hardy,
1:05:47
Caitlin Sanders, Kyra Milligan,
1:05:50
Lindsay Lane, Liz Wishart,
1:05:53
Miley Wade, Molly McGrandy, Morgan Porter,
1:05:57
Paige Rogers, it is now, Paige Powers,
1:06:02
Rachel Noel, Reese Littlewood,
1:06:05
Samantha Pugh, Trista Smith, Zoe Warren.
1:06:11
Someone said there's not many women at
1:06:13
this event.
1:06:14
There's a lot of high semifinal athlete
1:06:17
and above at this event.
1:06:19
Yeah.
1:06:19
Yeah, there's some good names here.
1:06:26
I mean,
1:06:27
I feel like most people have been picking
1:06:30
Kyra,
1:06:31
which seems like a good pick because she's
1:06:33
incredibly strong.
1:06:35
Yeah.
1:06:42
I think that's what's the hard part.
1:06:46
On the surface,
1:06:48
I would have Reese Littlewood competing
1:06:53
with anybody.
1:06:54
yeah there's so much strength to this that
1:06:58
i think it's got to be like caroline
1:06:59
stanley or um kyra milligan yep i think
1:07:04
it's one of those two for first and
1:07:05
second and and then it's gonna be all
1:07:08
over the place i think i think there's
1:07:10
gonna be a lot of movement i think
1:07:12
anyone you know these people can do well
1:07:16
at certain things maybe not so well the
1:07:18
other and there's probably gonna be a lot
1:07:19
of leaderboard movement besides those like
1:07:21
first three uh
1:07:27
i keep going to the mouse uh samantha
1:07:37
pew looks like she's been putting in the
1:07:38
strength work lately she might do well
1:07:41
here uh katie l stanley all the way
1:07:45
uh john george i think women will be
1:07:47
more interesting than dudes i think it's
1:07:49
much closer uh katie else's stanley versus
1:07:52
powers all weekend i don't think powers is
1:07:54
ready
1:07:56
I think she'll do well.
1:07:57
I don't think she'll podium.
1:07:59
But I do think she'll be ready by
1:08:01
next season.
1:08:02
Oh, for sure.
1:08:03
Right.
1:08:05
She looked good at WFP.
1:08:08
But, yes, I think there's some.
1:08:09
I think it's going to take a little
1:08:12
more time.
1:08:13
Yep.
1:08:16
Yeah,
1:08:19
I truly think this is a Caroline Stanley,
1:08:23
Kyra Milligan weekend.
1:08:25
Agreed.
1:08:26
And it's going to be the non-strength
1:08:28
events and how well they do to determine
1:08:33
the winner.
1:08:35
Like that pick your pool,
1:08:38
I think Kyra is going to crush.
1:08:44
Well, I don't know that she,
1:08:47
I doubt she'll win it.
1:08:48
There's going to be people,
1:08:50
much better runners that have decently
1:08:53
similar pulling strength.
1:08:55
But she's going to be going up against
1:08:57
Caroline Stanley.
1:08:58
That is where she's going to have to
1:09:02
make her moves.
1:09:04
And she's a better runner than Caroline.
1:09:05
Well,
1:09:06
her and Caroline are both bad runners.
1:09:08
Caroline Stanley is a good runner.
1:09:10
She did not do well at Mayhem last
1:09:12
year.
1:09:14
She died after the run.
1:09:15
She died in that workout, wasn't she?
1:09:16
With the burpee back jump over?
1:09:17
I don't know.
1:09:20
Maybe I'm wrong.
1:09:22
I'm pretty sure Caroline Stanley crushed
1:09:23
that workout well.
1:09:26
i was surprised at how well she ran
1:09:30
maybe someone in the comments will
1:09:31
remember yeah all right so that is crash
1:09:40
vicky is agreeing with you i'm still
1:09:44
depressed over the james franklin firing
1:09:47
sorry
1:09:53
Uh, John George,
1:09:54
one thing JR is good at is making
1:09:56
sure that you can't just be strong.
1:09:58
You have to be fit.
1:09:59
So I'm guessing some of these are more
1:10:02
fitness than they seem.
1:10:06
But you still,
1:10:07
at the end of the day,
1:10:07
have to lift it off the floor.
1:10:09
Yeah.
1:10:10
And like a two hundred and five pound
1:10:11
front squat for a woman is pretty heavy.
1:10:17
Yeah.
1:10:18
I don't even think I would have gotten
1:10:19
past the one eighty five bar on that
1:10:20
workout.
1:10:24
All right.
1:10:26
So we're already, wow.
1:10:28
I know.
1:10:28
Nice flying by.
1:10:30
So last I'm going to talk about is
1:10:32
a couple of podcasts from the weekend.
1:10:34
Um, I had,
1:10:37
I talked about the returning pro podcast.
1:10:40
Uh,
1:10:40
Jenny made a clip of it and said,
1:10:42
hot take.
1:10:44
And I want to,
1:10:45
I want to explain it a little bit
1:10:46
further.
1:10:48
And that is that they put out a
1:10:50
reel with.
1:10:54
with uh austin saying are we going to
1:10:57
affiliate de-affiliate that all the hot
1:11:00
words and all the hot topics were in
1:11:02
the reel when you go into the actual
1:11:06
podcast every time they got to one of
1:11:09
those keywords someone of the three would
1:11:13
say oh wait i don't mean to interrupt
1:11:15
but
1:11:17
And they would completely change the
1:11:19
subject to like a hunting story or like
1:11:22
not even in the same realm as where
1:11:25
they were.
1:11:26
And I think they strategically used
1:11:28
clickbait to bring you in and then they
1:11:31
played a game with you and left you
1:11:36
with absolutely nothing at the end of the
1:11:39
ninety minutes.
1:11:39
That's annoying.
1:11:43
And so I was,
1:11:44
there were comments on Jenny's post that
1:11:47
she clipped of me saying that of people
1:11:49
like, come on, they're just good guys.
1:11:51
This isn't what they were trying to do.
1:11:52
They were trying to do this.
1:11:55
This was all a strategy that they had
1:11:57
to play a game with all of us
1:11:59
about the drama around CrossFit.
1:12:01
Right.
1:12:06
So, um,
1:12:09
anyway it just was it was worthless it
1:12:13
was there was really nothing of substance
1:12:16
that came out of that unless you wanted
1:12:18
to hear their hunting stories or whatever
1:12:22
um by
1:12:26
it was not just because Rory wasn't there.
1:12:29
It was a strategic plan.
1:12:31
They, the real went with the podcast.
1:12:34
You take the real of what they were
1:12:36
saying to bring you into the podcast and
1:12:39
then how they structured it throughout the
1:12:41
podcast was a strategic plan.
1:12:46
And that I will write in Sharpie.
1:12:48
I agree.
1:12:50
They, yeah,
1:12:51
they know how to cut those clips and
1:12:52
click bait, if you will.
1:12:57
Yeah.
1:13:00
So the other thing that I wanted to
1:13:02
bring up is Dave was on Savan last
1:13:04
night.
1:13:05
And I would say that this also didn't
1:13:09
have a lot of substance to it,
1:13:11
unless you wanted to talk to Dave about
1:13:14
the drama going on about Dave.
1:13:18
Right.
1:13:18
But there were a couple of key points
1:13:20
I took from it.
1:13:20
And in fact,
1:13:24
Don't get me wrong.
1:13:25
I was entertained about Dave's response to
1:13:27
the drama.
1:13:30
Unlike the Froning podcast,
1:13:32
I was entertained throughout this,
1:13:34
but it resulted in more of the drama
1:13:40
than the substance.
1:13:43
So Dave did talk about why he met
1:13:45
with the athletes at Waterpalooza SoCal,
1:13:48
which I found fascinating.
1:13:49
And that is because he had kind of
1:13:51
taken a step back and realized that back
1:13:54
in the day,
1:13:55
because CrossFit ran regionals,
1:14:00
they ran all of the different elements
1:14:02
throughout the season and the invitational
1:14:05
and all of that stuff.
1:14:08
They, um,
1:14:11
they didn't have touch point.
1:14:12
They had touch points with the athletes
1:14:14
then that they don't have now.
1:14:17
And so by going to SoCal,
1:14:19
that gave them a touch point with the
1:14:20
athletes where they could talk to them and
1:14:22
get their opinion and let them talk
1:14:25
freely.
1:14:27
And he said in that meeting,
1:14:29
Tia was definitely the leader.
1:14:31
And you could tell that she has taken
1:14:33
on this leadership role,
1:14:36
mentoring the other athletes and really
1:14:38
like embracing who she is and embracing
1:14:42
that they have this proven affiliate in
1:14:45
Nashville that they run and that they run
1:14:48
it as both an affiliate and as a
1:14:51
company.
1:14:52
training camp and all of this stuff.
1:14:54
And he,
1:14:55
and he said that at the point they
1:14:57
are today,
1:14:58
he thinks that she is more influential
1:15:00
than rich.
1:15:02
Wow.
1:15:03
That's a hot take.
1:15:07
And really,
1:15:08
because I think it's because she's still
1:15:09
active.
1:15:11
Okay.
1:15:12
Right.
1:15:13
And she's won eight times.
1:15:14
He won four.
1:15:17
I would say that,
1:15:18
that rich has developed into a better
1:15:20
communicator because
1:15:21
But I digress.
1:15:26
I,
1:15:26
Siobhan asked him about semifinal
1:15:28
locations,
1:15:29
what semifinals were going to be included
1:15:30
in the game season.
1:15:32
And Dave gave him nothing.
1:15:34
Um,
1:15:36
and he also said that he knows why
1:15:40
rich is upset,
1:15:42
but he would not discuss it on the
1:15:44
show.
1:15:45
Wow.
1:15:46
And that he talks with rich weekly.
1:15:52
And he does know why he's upset,
1:15:54
but he, he was not going to,
1:15:56
it's not his story to tell.
1:15:58
And he wasn't going to tell it on
1:15:59
the, on the show.
1:16:01
That's interesting.
1:16:08
He did basically say that Tia was the
1:16:11
goat by, can you summarize the TDC drama?
1:16:17
I didn't watch that.
1:16:21
I could,
1:16:22
but so some of it we've already talked
1:16:25
about,
1:16:26
like that he would welcome people who left
1:16:29
the CrossFit game season.
1:16:30
If they would come back and qualify and
1:16:32
make it to the games,
1:16:34
he would welcome them back with open arms.
1:16:37
Savon did ask him about why fee got
1:16:40
so much media attention this year from
1:16:42
CrossFit after asking for him to be fired
1:16:45
last year.
1:16:47
And he said, listen,
1:16:48
her and Royce both came up,
1:16:51
came to him personally and had
1:16:53
conversations and they are good.
1:16:56
Okay.
1:16:57
He didn't go into details as to what
1:16:59
those conversations were,
1:17:01
but that they had the,
1:17:03
I think he said like the class to
1:17:05
come up and have the conversation with him
1:17:08
one-on-one to talk about it.
1:17:14
So there was that.
1:17:19
What else?
1:17:21
There was a lot of the stuff that
1:17:22
Pat said on coffee pods and wads that
1:17:25
he asked for Dave's reaction to.
1:17:32
And we talked about where Pat even said
1:17:35
that,
1:17:36
why would I let a petty argument keep
1:17:37
me from the CrossFit Games?
1:17:41
And we talked about what the result of
1:17:43
that was and how,
1:17:44
why would he call it petty when you
1:17:47
didn't do the Games last year because of
1:17:49
it?
1:17:49
You're undermining your own argument.
1:17:51
Yeah.
1:18:00
Siobhan did ask him about machines being
1:18:02
too many machines at the games.
1:18:05
And he said there aren't.
1:18:12
That was pretty much it.
1:18:13
I think, I think that was,
1:18:16
he did talk about it.
1:18:18
Okay.
1:18:18
Here's probably the biggest hot take from
1:18:20
the night.
1:18:21
And that was that.
1:18:23
He did say that athletes use CrossFit and
1:18:29
the platform to gain attention and gain
1:18:34
favor in the space.
1:18:37
And they shouldn't then get upset when the
1:18:41
same community that they are trying to get
1:18:43
favor from turns and brings a different
1:18:46
light to something.
1:18:48
You are asking for it by putting it
1:18:50
all out there into the space.
1:18:52
And so you've got to take the good
1:18:55
with the bad,
1:18:55
essentially paraphrasing what he said.
1:18:58
When the bad comes, it's got to come.
1:19:01
And you have to accept it.
1:19:04
It's another part of it.
1:19:07
And we've been saying that all along.
1:19:09
If you want to be a professional athlete,
1:19:12
you are going to get ridiculed or you're
1:19:15
going to get judged by the media,
1:19:17
regardless of whatever sport it is.
1:19:21
Like this Lions-Chiefs game, at halftime,
1:19:24
someone is going to be judged that was
1:19:26
on that field in a not good light,
1:19:29
whoever is losing or whoever did something
1:19:31
wrong, whoever fumbled the ball,
1:19:32
whatever it is.
1:19:35
um um so yeah he mentioned we met
1:19:48
with the pfaa brent was there pat wasn't
1:19:50
he did mention that but that's been talked
1:19:53
about before that was kind of
1:19:57
beginning of like the can you trust can
1:20:02
you trust brent at the time when right
1:20:05
after right after the letter and all the
1:20:07
stuff and we knew that brent had met
1:20:10
without pat at an event yes something
1:20:15
right right that that's that's not new
1:20:18
news
1:20:25
Again, Seve, like usual,
1:20:27
made promises kept from what he said on
1:20:30
KT.
1:20:30
He would ask him about sharing SEAL
1:20:32
stories and about connecting with the
1:20:34
bridge.
1:20:36
TDC said nope.
1:20:39
Nope and yes.
1:20:43
Well, I think it was more than that,
1:20:44
Ken.
1:20:44
I don't think you're being fair.
1:20:48
TDC.
1:20:50
Dave Castro said why he didn't share Navy
1:20:52
stories.
1:20:55
And he wanted to keep that part separate
1:20:57
from all of this.
1:20:59
It's not something that he wants to share.
1:21:03
He wants to move forward.
1:21:05
And he gave a lot of different examples
1:21:07
as to why he would want to do
1:21:08
that.
1:21:10
As for the bridge,
1:21:11
he was very open to connecting with them.
1:21:14
The bridge is an affiliate that is helping
1:21:19
people recover from addiction.
1:21:22
And Siobhan asked him, could they buy...
1:21:25
like twenty thousand dollars of of l ones
1:21:28
and hand out to to successful people who
1:21:31
have recovered to help them move forward
1:21:34
in life and dave said of course let's
1:21:36
connect us we'll get something um we'll
1:21:40
get something together with them so i
1:21:43
think he answered both those questions he
1:21:45
just didn't he just didn't give a navy
1:21:47
story because he doesn't want to
1:21:56
Uh,
1:21:56
Savan always tries to push Dave and Dave
1:21:57
is just too wise to fall for that
1:21:59
trap.
1:22:00
It's an interesting mind game.
1:22:11
Okay.
1:22:11
Yeah.
1:22:14
I think that's how that's who Dave is.
1:22:19
The best I saw Dave this week was
1:22:22
they were going to do an affiliate podcast
1:22:24
with
1:22:26
The affiliate didn't show up.
1:22:28
Nicole Christensen talked about a workout
1:22:29
she did.
1:22:31
Dave didn't like the workout.
1:22:33
Nicole got the person who programmed the
1:22:35
workout on the show,
1:22:36
and they talked about the workout because
1:22:38
the affiliate didn't show.
1:22:40
And it actually turned into a very
1:22:42
interesting conversation,
1:22:44
and I don't even like to talk about
1:22:45
programming.
1:22:49
And I think they've stumbled onto
1:22:52
something that would be very
1:22:54
well-received.
1:22:56
Basically, you bring your workout,
1:22:58
Dave shits on it,
1:23:00
and then you defend it while he's telling
1:23:02
you why it sucks.
1:23:04
And what I loved is Nicole Christensen did
1:23:06
not back down from him in one second
1:23:10
of that conversation.
1:23:11
She loved the workout.
1:23:13
She loved the vibe it gave the gym.
1:23:15
And just so people know,
1:23:18
the workout was...
1:23:20
it was every six minutes you did one
1:23:25
sled push of fifty feet and then you
1:23:29
did fourteen or ten calories on an echo
1:23:33
bike and it was meant to be an
1:23:35
all-out sprint her gym only has two sleds
1:23:39
so what they did is they ran a
1:23:41
new sled a person pushing the sled every
1:23:44
thirty seconds
1:23:46
And so you have to get all,
1:23:47
you have to get your sled down there
1:23:49
and off the bike so that that person
1:23:51
can then isn't running into you.
1:23:53
Right.
1:23:55
She said by the end,
1:23:57
she almost threw up and you're on mute
1:24:01
just so you know.
1:24:02
Um, yeah,
1:24:05
that's what bike sprints will do.
1:24:06
That's gross.
1:24:13
That's what shut up and scribble does with
1:24:14
everyone's programming in the space.
1:24:17
I don't disagree with you, Jenny,
1:24:18
but they usually do like a whole events
1:24:20
programming.
1:24:21
What I liked about this is it was
1:24:23
shorter and it was just one class workout.
1:24:28
Yeah.
1:24:32
And then he gave suggestions like you
1:24:35
could do it with this and like a
1:24:37
plate carry instead of a sled push because
1:24:41
you don't have enough sleds or you could.
1:24:44
And like they were talking about why you
1:24:45
would or wouldn't do it this way.
1:24:47
And Nicole was saying that what was cool
1:24:49
about it is you have people running by
1:24:51
each other like giving high fives because
1:24:53
they're like you're in a class setting and
1:24:55
vibes and you're all working together to
1:24:57
keep this train rolling.
1:24:59
And it just was really fun.
1:25:06
Yeah, it sounds like...
1:25:08
Definitely different, Jenny.
1:25:09
This is like roast my grandpa's favorite
1:25:11
recipe.
1:25:13
Yeah,
1:25:13
and he's saying like in a cooking show,
1:25:15
like Gordon Ramsay would say,
1:25:18
this is awful or whatever and why it's
1:25:21
awful.
1:25:23
And Dave is just kind of known as
1:25:26
the programmer of the games,
1:25:28
been around CrossFit since the beginning.
1:25:30
It just was like,
1:25:32
and it was a fun discussion.
1:25:36
I think it's a great concept.
1:25:43
I like the idea.
1:25:43
It's what members do before and after
1:25:45
workouts.
1:25:46
Exactly.
1:25:47
Only you get to do it with Dave
1:25:48
Castro.
1:25:49
Yeah.
1:25:54
That's what was cool about it.
1:25:57
And they had Nicole who did the workout.
1:26:00
They had the head of Misfits who
1:26:02
programmed the workout.
1:26:03
And then they had Dave critiquing the
1:26:05
workout.
1:26:06
So you had these three elements kind of
1:26:08
coming together and fighting or whatever.
1:26:16
KDL calls it an idiot sandwich.
1:26:19
It was just fun.
1:26:20
It was just fun.
1:26:25
I like Nicole's input as a class workout.
1:26:27
It's different than if I read that workout
1:26:29
on my own too.
1:26:32
And what was really funny is that Dave
1:26:37
said, oh,
1:26:37
these are the rules that I think of
1:26:39
when I'm programming.
1:26:41
And then Nicole would call him out for
1:26:42
breaking those rules when he did this
1:26:45
workout or that workout or another
1:26:47
workout.
1:26:49
And he goes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:26:50
I usually break my rules,
1:26:52
but I'm just saying.
1:26:54
So it was good.
1:26:57
It was good.
1:26:58
The other highlight podcast of the week
1:27:00
that I will shout out is,
1:27:03
and I can't believe I'm doing this,
1:27:05
Inside the Box Office with the Glintons.
1:27:09
I tuned in just to see if it
1:27:11
was going to be something,
1:27:14
and it turned into be so much more
1:27:16
than I ever thought it would be.
1:27:18
And if you have not watched it,
1:27:21
It is more about,
1:27:22
it's not about CrossFit at all.
1:27:24
It's about where we are today and then
1:27:26
in society with the way we look at
1:27:28
one another.
1:27:29
And it was freaking awesome.
1:27:33
Kudos to Mesa and Kate for being
1:27:38
open-minded.
1:27:39
Kudos to Colleen for digging in on things.
1:27:44
And kudos to Garrett for hanging in there
1:27:49
with everything and giving examples.
1:27:52
It was freaking awesome.
1:27:56
And it was way more than a CrossFit
1:27:57
show.
1:27:59
Way more.
1:28:02
And if you haven't seen it,
1:28:03
you need to check it out.
1:28:04
I haven't watched that one yet.
1:28:07
So Ken says great non-CrossFit show.
1:28:09
Yeah.
1:28:11
And if you didn't like those choices,
1:28:13
Lunch with the Clydesdales is going to be
1:28:14
here all week.
1:28:16
And we'll do some stuff.
1:28:18
Hopefully we get some more news.
1:28:26
Felt like they were staying on Mesa to
1:28:28
actually admit she stuck on something too.
1:28:32
But I think she did.
1:28:35
I think she did.
1:28:35
And that's where it was wild.
1:28:37
I think Colleen gave her a perspective.
1:28:39
She's never been presented with before.
1:28:48
It actually turned into table conversation
1:28:51
over the weekend when I had dinner with
1:28:52
friends and that that's how much it
1:28:54
impacted me.
1:28:56
I'll just say that.
1:28:56
Interesting.
1:29:00
Uh,
1:29:00
KDL big giveaway on the hundredth episode
1:29:02

1:29:05
