- 1:01Sunday, Sunday,
- 1:02Sunday night CrossFit talk.
- 1:06I'm glad somebody else did that tonight.
- 1:09I am hurting tonight.
- 1:12What?
- 1:14Why?
- 1:14Well,
- 1:14I told you like last week that I
- 1:17got a touch of pneumonia back and I've
- 1:19had to take the medicine for that.
- 1:21Today is the day it's deciding to all
- 1:23leave my body and it's just wearing me
- 1:26down.
- 1:28Just wear me down.
- 1:29I feel great.
- 1:30I've been active the entire time until
- 1:32today.
- 1:33Today is just like smacked me in the
- 1:35face.
- 1:37But yeah, so I'm glad I didn't,
- 1:40I didn't have a guttural Sunday,
- 1:43Sunday in me for tonight.
- 1:47Well,
- 1:47you got to probably just sit around and
- 1:49watch football.
- 1:49Hopefully not yell at the screen.
- 1:51I didn't watch any football.
- 1:53Well, I, I did yell and scream.
- 1:57So I didn't mean I'll get into that
- 1:59in a second.
- 2:01First of all, first of all,
- 2:04I see this comment.
- 2:06Do I have Malort Malort withdraw?
- 2:10I have to tell you,
- 2:11I was watching the Hallmark movie about
- 2:13the Chicago Bears last night.
- 2:16which is a brilliant marketing campaign
- 2:18for Hallmark because you are sucking in
- 2:20people who would not typically watch a
- 2:23Hallmark movie because it's about their
- 2:26team.
- 2:26And this is the third year they've done
- 2:27it.
- 2:28They've done it with the Chiefs,
- 2:29the Bills, and now the Bears.
- 2:31During the episode,
- 2:34the one guy gives a girl a shot
- 2:36and she's like, what the hell was that?
- 2:38And he's like, my Lord.
- 2:41And that's the stuff that Julie and I
- 2:43drank in green Bay and is awful.
- 2:46Like you had some, uh, Jimmy,
- 2:50I haven't drank in almost three years.
- 2:51I know.
- 2:53And that's what you choose.
- 2:55We didn't know what it was.
- 2:56You didn't hear the story.
- 2:58No, no.
- 2:59Well,
- 2:59I heard you took something out of a
- 3:00boot out of a football or something.
- 3:02Yeah, it was a guy with a football,
- 3:04unscrewed the tip of the football,
- 3:05poured it in a shot glass,
- 3:07handed it to us.
- 3:08We didn't know what it was.
- 3:09All the things I warned my kid not
- 3:11to do ever in life.
- 3:13Oh, I assumed when I heard that,
- 3:15I assumed it was like a football and
- 3:17like they literally give you and you drink
- 3:19it.
- 3:19Like I assumed you actually drank it.
- 3:20I think a lot of people do just
- 3:22drink out of the football.
- 3:24Again,
- 3:24another reason I probably should not have
- 3:26done any of that,
- 3:28but it was one of the worst things
- 3:30I've ever tasted in my life.
- 3:32I've heard I have not had the it
- 3:35is it is so bad so bad but
- 3:37they it actually made it into the Hallmark
- 3:40movie yeah and how bad it was which
- 3:44was funny but again great marketing
- 3:47campaign for Hallmark um they sucked in
- 3:50people that were not going to watch
- 3:54Hallmark movies typically I do think it's
- 3:56a little early for a Christmas movie um
- 3:58we're not even to Halloween gotta get past
- 4:00Halloween
- 4:02I've stopped the fight of before
- 4:03Thanksgiving.
- 4:04That's a losing battle.
- 4:07But now we're going two weeks before
- 4:09Halloween is ridiculous.
- 4:14I agree.
- 4:18There was something I saw here.
- 4:19Oh, well, doesn't matter.
- 4:21Don't forget to like and subscribe to the
- 4:23channel.
- 4:23It really, really helps a ton.
- 4:26Glad you all could be here with us
- 4:27tonight.
- 4:29It's been a wild, wild week of sports.
- 4:33I cannot... You have the WNBA finals.
- 4:36You have hockey into full gear.
- 4:38You have the baseball playoffs going to
- 4:40the World Series.
- 4:41You have college football that was...
- 4:44insanity yesterday and then the nfl was
- 4:48huge today the cardinals beat the rams
- 4:51today like it is like nothing makes sense
- 4:57yes carolyn you have something to say no
- 5:00i just i've been so busy all weekend
- 5:02and i have not watched like anything but
- 5:04the wnba final game that was what friday
- 5:07and i didn't watch any football today
- 5:11I've just been trying to get ready to
- 5:13leave tomorrow.
- 5:14So I'm just,
- 5:14I just feel like for the first time
- 5:16I'm out of the loop in sports.
- 5:18And this is unlike me because I follow
- 5:21sports very, very closely.
- 5:24So yesterday,
- 5:25five of the seven top teams lost in
- 5:28college football.
- 5:29Wow.
- 5:31Yeah.
- 5:32Yeah.
- 5:35Georgia lost number one,
- 5:37Notre Dame number two,
- 5:39Number three,
- 5:40Miami won in double overtime.
- 5:45Ohio State beat Indiana,
- 5:47which they were both in the top seven.
- 5:49So one of them was going to lose.
- 5:51And I can't even remember the other.
- 5:52It's just I had the Miami-Florida State
- 5:56game and the BYU-Notre Dame on both TVs
- 5:59last night,
- 6:00and it was nonstop action the whole night.
- 6:04I didn't go to bed until like midnight
- 6:06because of it.
- 6:07Was it the Notre Dame game where the
- 6:09ball hit the end zone with like a
- 6:12second to go or something,
- 6:14and they could have put another second or
- 6:16something on the clock?
- 6:17I think I saw something like that on
- 6:18Instagram.
- 6:18Yep.
- 6:21And the Miami-Florida State game ended
- 6:22with both players going up and a debate
- 6:25on who actually had control of the ball
- 6:28coming to the ground.
- 6:30Did Wisco win this week?
- 6:33They lost.
- 6:34Wisconsin lost.
- 6:37All of our teams lost.
- 6:40Yeah, I was not happy with your team.
- 6:43Hey, look in the mirror, buddy.
- 6:45We had a real shot.
- 6:46We played good.
- 6:48We only lost by four,
- 6:50but we didn't feel like we ever had
- 6:52a shot.
- 6:52Yeah, agree.
- 6:56The Browns in first place.
- 6:57Crazy.
- 6:59Ed, is this a sports?
- 7:00No, it's not.
- 7:00But this is how we start every week.
- 7:02Yeah.
- 7:04We do this for a little bit of
- 7:05time just to let everybody come into the
- 7:09chat,
- 7:10and then we'll get into the hardcore
- 7:12CrossFit stuff.
- 7:12But what all this sports has done is
- 7:15I'm so far behind on all of my
- 7:17TV shows.
- 7:19Well,
- 7:19the fall season is the busiest I find
- 7:22for all of sports.
- 7:22Yeah.
- 7:22That's the busiest time of year.
- 7:28It is.
- 7:28It is.
- 7:30And then sports,
- 7:32the NWSL is still playing baseball clubs,
- 7:35like every, everything's happening.
- 7:36And then the winter sports are all
- 7:38starting now, fall, winter.
- 7:41Well, I think, yeah, basketball,
- 7:43the NBA starts like Thursday or something.
- 7:45Yeah.
- 7:47It's, it's so crazy.
- 7:49I mean,
- 7:50do you have any like fall shows that
- 7:53TV shows that you watch?
- 7:55Yeah.
- 7:56What do you watch?
- 7:56Right.
- 7:57I watch a lot of stuff.
- 7:59Um,
- 7:59cause I have two TVs going all the
- 8:01time.
- 8:01Okay.
- 8:03And a lot of it,
- 8:03it's just to spend time with my wife.
- 8:05So like we watched the Chicago's on
- 8:07Wednesday.
- 8:08Okay.
- 8:09Uh, we're into that new show,
- 8:10the line of fire.
- 8:11Okay.
- 8:11I have not watched that one.
- 8:14Um,
- 8:14where I'm trying to keep going through
- 8:16Neely.
- 8:16It's not that it's bad.
- 8:17I just haven't had time with that.
- 8:20I am not.
- 8:20I told you.
- 8:22How did we start this conversation?
- 8:24Yeah.
- 8:25tulsa king just started on friday okay um
- 8:31i don't know see there's not a lot
- 8:33that i watched like in the fall i
- 8:35watched tracker which started back up like
- 8:38two or three weeks ago and doc i
- 8:42i watched i i'm on the fence whether
- 8:44i'm going to keep watching doc or not
- 8:46it may have gotten too soap opera for
- 8:47me yeah i don't know what yeah i
- 8:49know
- 8:51I'm hanging in there.
- 8:52I binged it like season one,
- 8:54and I kind of fell in love with
- 8:56how the story began.
- 8:57Right.
- 8:58And now it's kind of drifted off into
- 8:59something else.
- 9:00But I do watch Best Medicine, though.
- 9:02I love that show.
- 9:04And Marshalls,
- 9:06I didn't care for season one,
- 9:07but it has really started season two with
- 9:10a bang.
- 9:11More in the Yellowstone vein than the CBS,
- 9:15as Corey puts it,
- 9:16the catnip for old people network.
- 9:21I don't watch a single show.
- 9:24Not a single show.
- 9:26The only time I watch shows is with
- 9:30Lex when I'm in the summer and I
- 9:32don't have stuff going on.
- 9:33That's the only time.
- 9:35I can't get into anything.
- 9:38Trane says,
- 9:38line of fire hasn't been as good as
- 9:40I expected.
- 9:41I'm kind of with you.
- 9:42I'm really...
- 9:44There's enough mystery to it where you
- 9:46have to figure out who's good and who's
- 9:48bad that it's keeping me hanging on by
- 9:51a thread.
- 9:52But the overall story,
- 9:55it's not as good as I wanted it
- 9:57to be.
- 9:58So I'm in agreement there.
- 10:05So there's that.
- 10:07And then I fell in this rabbit hole
- 10:09yesterday of all these new WNBA shoes that
- 10:12are being released.
- 10:13Why can't men get the cool color waves
- 10:17like the women get for their shoes that
- 10:19are being released?
- 10:20Okay, which ones are you talking about?
- 10:23It's the colors.
- 10:24It's the purples and the turquoise.
- 10:26You're talking about like Asia Wilson's
- 10:30shoes.
- 10:30Caitlyn's and Asia's and all of theirs.
- 10:34Like they just are more vibrant.
- 10:35Yeah.
- 10:37Now,
- 10:37Ant from the NBA just came out with
- 10:39a new shoe with a really beautiful blue,
- 10:42but it's already sold out in my size.
- 10:47It's just, it's like,
- 10:48it reminds me of the, uh,
- 10:50twenty teens CrossFit colors,
- 10:54like more vibrant, more like, I don't,
- 10:58I know I'm older now,
- 10:59but I don't need old man,
- 11:00new balance white on all of my shoes.
- 11:06new balance is in now with the kids
- 11:08i know but all i can think of
- 11:11like in our time that used to be
- 11:14i mean when i was young that was
- 11:16the old people's shoe now it's the young
- 11:18people's shoe yeah that's like your
- 11:22typical dad mowing shoe people really like
- 11:25embrace that i almost feel like it's just
- 11:28a joke they wear it for
- 11:31don't know i feel i mean i still
- 11:33see a lot of kids in like adidas
- 11:35and yeah nikes general yeah adidas is my
- 11:39new thing there i love the toe box
- 11:41on them i cannot actually do have some
- 11:44colors i think they're great i've never i
- 11:51mean basketball shoes in general for me i
- 11:54just think are like ugly well they have
- 11:56crossfit shoes yeah and their runners are
- 11:59awesome
- 12:02The Adidas runners?
- 12:03Yeah.
- 12:04Yeah.
- 12:06Really a big fan of those.
- 12:11For Jamie, nope, not one.
- 12:13Reacher is like Jason.
- 12:15He will just sleep for a season and
- 12:17regenerate.
- 12:19Yeah,
- 12:19he doesn't sleep during a whole year of
- 12:22shows.
- 12:22Yeah.
- 12:28Seamus says,
- 12:29I bought Pride Nanos just for that reason.
- 12:32They're so limited on colors now.
- 12:35Anything that's colorful,
- 12:36I'm attracted to.
- 12:40Well, we got the new Fox Basics.
- 12:44Yeah.
- 12:45Those are bright.
- 12:47I got a lot of compliments in the
- 12:48gym when I wore those.
- 12:52Fergie says Adidas are so narrow.
- 12:53I am not finding that at all.
- 12:55And I have a wide toe box area.
- 13:00I'll be the judge of that.
- 13:07Like, I love the Bomb Pop.
- 13:09They are a little too narrow on my
- 13:11toe.
- 13:11They're a little too narrow for me, too.
- 13:12Yep.
- 13:15I mean, I'll wear them for, like,
- 13:16a workout where I don't have to run
- 13:18or do anything.
- 13:19Strike movements.
- 13:22Yeah, see, I haven't tried mine.
- 13:23Lex has them in Cali,
- 13:24so I'll have to try them.
- 13:25But I've just been wearing tear,
- 13:28basically, or rads the past couple years.
- 13:32of alternate between both most of the time
- 13:34i wear tier but also the the rides
- 13:38are nice like throughout all my prospect
- 13:41careers always always free box like i've
- 13:44never had a problem with rebuff yeah i
- 13:46like i've always thought that makes great
- 13:49shoes so katie i can't speak to the
- 13:53sambas i don't i never played soccer in
- 13:55my life um
- 13:58I'm speaking about the running shoes of
- 14:00Adidas and the CrossFit,
- 14:02the drop set line of shoes.
- 14:07All soccer shoes are pretty narrow.
- 14:10That's like an issue with cleats in
- 14:12general, I think.
- 14:15Tessa said her favorite is Strike
- 14:17Movement.
- 14:17We should go to Box Basics and get
- 14:19the Bomb Popsicle version.
- 14:23If you like Strike Movement,
- 14:25that's the shoe to get.
- 14:27They're pretty.
- 14:30Fergie, one, you're wearing New Balance.
- 14:33Two, you are an old man.
- 14:35And three, you are open to jokes.
- 14:41Hopefully you're just mowing them.
- 14:46Just mowing the grass.
- 14:48Mowing the grass.
- 14:51All right, guys.
- 14:54We haven't had a Fergie question of the
- 14:55week yet, have we?
- 14:57Okay.
- 14:58Just checking.
- 14:58I didn't want to miss it.
- 15:03Rogue preview.
- 15:04Rogue is this weekend.
- 15:06It came up fast.
- 15:08It was like nothing, nothing, nothing.
- 15:10Bam, Rogue.
- 15:12So one of our very own people on
- 15:15this show is competing this coming weekend
- 15:19at Rogue.
- 15:21What's the travel plans look like?
- 15:23I work tomorrow.
- 15:25I'm going to try to
- 15:28Organize a lot at school tomorrow,
- 15:30make sure everything's all set for the
- 15:32week.
- 15:33Um,
- 15:33I leave tomorrow after work at like six
- 15:36PM and I'll do like a red eye
- 15:39flight.
- 15:40I go to London first and then from
- 15:41London to Aberdeen,
- 15:44I'll get to Aberdeen for like noon on
- 15:47Tuesday.
- 15:50And then, um, from there,
- 15:54I think my registration is the Wednesday
- 15:56morning.
- 15:58And then competition starts on Friday.
- 16:01I haven't heard anything on like when
- 16:02briefings are anything like that.
- 16:06I just assumed we had to be there
- 16:08Tuesday because the invitations that
- 16:10people got in the mail all said to
- 16:14be there Tuesday.
- 16:16And then there's only like night flights
- 16:18basically vote for the most part to get
- 16:21to Aberdeen.
- 16:21So I left the Monday,
- 16:23but I never got my thing in the
- 16:25mail for my,
- 16:26for my invite from Rogue.
- 16:27You didn't get the metal plate?
- 16:30No, because everyone else got it.
- 16:32Dear Bill and Katie.
- 16:33Yeah,
- 16:33I'm going to message Katie and be like,
- 16:35excuse me,
- 16:36I just want my little invite square.
- 16:40Well,
- 16:40that's like one of the perks of making
- 16:42it.
- 16:43Yeah, I never got it in the mail,
- 16:44so it probably got lost or like taken
- 16:46at customs.
- 16:47It's waiting for like the tariff that you
- 16:49paid.
- 16:49Yeah.
- 16:51Couldn't get across the border.
- 16:53I just looked at other people's invites
- 16:55and it said to be there Tuesday.
- 16:56So I made my arrangements to get there
- 16:59Tuesday.
- 17:01What's the time difference?
- 17:02Are you going to have jet lag?
- 17:05I didn't even look.
- 17:06I think it's like five or six hours.
- 17:08I feel like it is six hours.
- 17:10Six hours?
- 17:11I think so.
- 17:12Something like that.
- 17:14Am I going to have jet lag?
- 17:15I don't know.
- 17:15I mean,
- 17:15I literally got to London yesterday.
- 17:19For WFP and compete at the phone phone
- 17:21day.
- 17:21Like I got there the day of registration
- 17:23and competed the next day.
- 17:26I think I'll try to just close my
- 17:28eyes on the flight and it'll be what
- 17:30it'll be like.
- 17:31This is one of the earliest I've ever
- 17:32gone to a call.
- 17:33I think in my career,
- 17:35I don't remember ever being there.
- 17:38Like during the school year, anyways,
- 17:40on a Tuesday night, compete on the Friday.
- 17:42Like that's, I should,
- 17:43I should be fully fine because I don't
- 17:46do that normally.
- 17:47Well,
- 17:48and they have so much for you in
- 17:49the beginning of the week.
- 17:50Like that's when you get all the toys
- 17:52and all the.
- 17:53Well,
- 17:53they do like interviews and cause they use
- 17:56a lot of questions and stuff like
- 17:59throughout the weekend in their broadcast.
- 18:02So they do like athlete interviews and
- 18:04stuff like that as well.
- 18:05So yeah,
- 18:06I'm sure they'll be busy with lots for
- 18:09us to do.
- 18:12Um, here's the question of the week.
- 18:13It was way up at the top of
- 18:14the chat, uh,
- 18:15question of the week for Scott,
- 18:16which would make you cry more rewatching
- 18:19the green Bay game or Brian song.
- 18:24I would have to say Brian song,
- 18:27the original,
- 18:28the original Billy Dee Williams,
- 18:30James Con version of Brian song that just
- 18:35thinking about it makes me tear up.
- 18:37Um,
- 18:38the green Bay game was just a game.
- 18:41The other thing is about a dude with
- 18:42cancer and his friend trying to help him
- 18:45out.
- 18:46And that is way, way different.
- 18:48And it's a true story,
- 18:50which makes it even harder.
- 18:52But what the Bears have done for Brian
- 18:55Piccolo since he died and honoring him,
- 18:59they give out the Brian Piccolo Award
- 19:00every year.
- 19:03It's like for courage and strength and all
- 19:06of that.
- 19:06It's like his legacy will live on forever.
- 19:09Forever.
- 19:10The Green Bay game was a great experience,
- 19:16even though the game sucked bad.
- 19:19The experience of hanging out with Eric
- 19:21and his son in the tailgating stuff,
- 19:24having the front row seats to be able
- 19:26to see football that close,
- 19:29it was just an awesome experience.
- 19:32Would have been better had the Bears shown
- 19:33up to play at all.
- 19:37Um, but great experience nonetheless.
- 19:41But I am,
- 19:42I cry like a baby at movies,
- 19:45especially ever since I had a daughter.
- 19:49So I am a big sap when it
- 19:51comes to all that.
- 19:55Did you cry in the Hallmark movie?
- 19:58Did I cry?
- 19:59I did not cry at the Hallmark movie.
- 20:05No, it was, I mean,
- 20:07I did get giddy,
- 20:09like a twelve-year-old boy,
- 20:10because they had, like, old bears in it,
- 20:11like Dan Hampton and Charles Peanut
- 20:14Tillman, and then they had canoe bears,
- 20:18Colston Loveland, Cole Komet, Ben Johnson.
- 20:22They had another old bear,
- 20:23and I'm trying to remember who it was.
- 20:26Oh, well.
- 20:26Oh, Mike Singletary.
- 20:27Mike Singletary was in it.
- 20:28And when they'd show up on screen,
- 20:30I'd yell at Julie, like, oh, it's Puv!
- 20:32That's cool.
- 20:35But, yeah.
- 20:38The whole premise of the Hallmark movie is
- 20:43a woman is getting ready to go to
- 20:45her five hundredth game.
- 20:46And they're celebrating her.
- 20:49Okay.
- 20:49That's cool.
- 20:53I did the math.
- 20:54It would be really hard to go to
- 20:55five hundred games,
- 20:56but nobody said that Hallmark was right
- 21:01down the factual line of storytelling.
- 21:04Yeah.
- 21:09Tessa says, I cry at weddings every time.
- 21:11Why?
- 21:12Because it makes you so happy or makes
- 21:14you so sad?
- 21:15I cry at weddings too.
- 21:23Yeah, it's funny.
- 21:23Like as a kid,
- 21:24you don't really understand.
- 21:25And as an adult,
- 21:26like the day I got married and my
- 21:28wife was at the end of the aisle
- 21:30and you see her,
- 21:31like the tears just rushed and you don't,
- 21:35it's not even something you can control.
- 21:39And so when I see other people react
- 21:41that way, that emotion does come back.
- 21:47So Trish loves Hallmark.
- 21:50It's fantasy.
- 21:52It is.
- 21:53And I enjoyed the movie.
- 21:54I'm not going to like,
- 21:57I'm a tough man and I didn't enjoy
- 21:59the Hallmark.
- 22:00It was good.
- 22:02My guilty pleasure is rom-coms.
- 22:03It's not that far off.
- 22:05Yeah.
- 22:09uh trish hallmark has great recipes that
- 22:13win the baking contest and save the
- 22:14orphanage they do that's accurate
- 22:20That is.
- 22:22So Carolyn's heading out tomorrow.
- 22:25We can't wait to root for her.
- 22:27So we've had some people have to withdraw
- 22:31over the time.
- 22:32But the biggest news is this week that
- 22:34last-minute withdrawal was Roman
- 22:36Krennikoff.
- 22:37And at this point,
- 22:38they have not replaced him.
- 22:41There is only nineteen men listed on the
- 22:44competitor list on the Rogue website.
- 22:49I wonder if they won't replace him.
- 22:53So I have to ask this question about
- 22:57it.
- 22:58So on the,
- 22:59on the caged boys or whatever from
- 23:02Australia, whatever their thing is called,
- 23:05he, they called him and on the phone,
- 23:06he said he was moving to Madison and
- 23:09he would have been doing that yesterday
- 23:12and that he didn't want to go if
- 23:13he wasn't going to be prepared.
- 23:15Yep.
- 23:17I know I'm not an athlete anymore.
- 23:19Would you not know you wouldn't be
- 23:20prepared weeks before now?
- 23:26I mean,
- 23:27he obviously had something nagging him a
- 23:30little bit,
- 23:30and he probably was hoping it would be.
- 23:34But yeah,
- 23:34I think obviously something was going on
- 23:36and he probably wasn't able to train a
- 23:39hundred percent.
- 23:39So I think weeks ago he should have
- 23:41just been like, yeah,
- 23:42I don't think I'm real.
- 23:44If you know you're moving and you have
- 23:46like other stressors in your life,
- 23:47just if you're in,
- 23:49if you're somewhat injured,
- 23:51something happened and you're moving,
- 23:52just give your spot to somebody else.
- 23:56Did he say what it was from WFP?
- 23:58Like, did he say specifically WFP?
- 24:01Because when he stopped at the run,
- 24:02I can't remember whether it was hip
- 24:05flexor, calf, or a cramp.
- 24:08Watching it, it appeared to be a calf.
- 24:10I think he said calf, actually.
- 24:18Rogue is so good to the athletes.
- 24:20And maybe this is just me being
- 24:22altruistic.
- 24:24But they're so good to the athletes.
- 24:25They take care of you so well.
- 24:29I would expect the same in return from
- 24:31the athletes to Rogue.
- 24:33I agree.
- 24:34Like, on one hand,
- 24:35I can understand trying to make it work
- 24:37because if I was an athlete,
- 24:41I would go and take the twentieth and
- 24:43not care.
- 24:44I just got to go and participate in,
- 24:47you know,
- 24:49So even if you feel like you're not
- 24:50going to be ready,
- 24:51but if you're saying that,
- 24:53that you don't want to go and not
- 24:55be a hundred percent ready,
- 24:56then you should have had that in your
- 24:57mind and you should have given someone
- 24:58else the opportunity.
- 25:00Otherwise, all along, you should be like,
- 25:02yeah,
- 25:02I'm not going to be a hundred percent,
- 25:03but I love Rogue and I'm going to
- 25:04go.
- 25:06I don't care how I am in a
- 25:06place, but I want to be at Rogue.
- 25:09Like the two things there just don't jive
- 25:10with me.
- 25:12The moving thing really doesn't jive with
- 25:14me.
- 25:14Yeah.
- 25:14Like moving isn't something you do on a
- 25:16whim.
- 25:17Right.
- 25:18Unless you're like in mortal danger for
- 25:21some reason, right?
- 25:23Like that just,
- 25:25that it does not compute in my head.
- 25:29So that's what I find,
- 25:33find weird about the whole thing.
- 25:36And then it brings up all the speculation.
- 25:38Is he leaving mayhem and all this?
- 25:40No, I actually think he,
- 25:43he said there that he's not leaving
- 25:44mayhem.
- 25:47Somewhere was posted.
- 25:48Just like the city of Madison.
- 25:50Yep.
- 25:51Just like the city of Madison,
- 25:52and he wants to move there,
- 25:53but he's still doing man.
- 25:55It is a nice city.
- 25:56I love it there.
- 26:01Jamie and I always stay in the worst
- 26:02sections, apparently.
- 26:07In the fall, summer, it's nice there.
- 26:11Wisconsin is a lot like Michigan.
- 26:13I've never had any complaints any time
- 26:15I've ever been there.
- 26:16Well,
- 26:16we don't always pick the best hotels.
- 26:18Well, we're not rich,
- 26:20or we would be doing just fine.
- 26:22There are plenty of nice hotels to stay
- 26:24in.
- 26:24We just can't afford those.
- 26:27But I will admit, the lakes are beautiful.
- 26:29The park in the downtown is really nice.
- 26:35He did say better schools for his kid.
- 26:36You're right, KDL.
- 26:37Yeah, Wayne kind of makes a good point,
- 26:42too.
- 26:43It sounded sudden.
- 26:44I'm moving maybe Saturday.
- 26:47Yeah.
- 26:47We usually have to like rent a truck
- 26:49or hire a mover or something or have
- 26:52a place to stay.
- 26:55I just think that's an English thing.
- 27:00Like he knew when he was moving.
- 27:01I just think thinking like,
- 27:03and some guys are just like, Oh,
- 27:04you know, whatever.
- 27:05Like also I feel like some athletes are
- 27:09like retired people.
- 27:12Like,
- 27:13They don't have a Monday through Friday
- 27:16work life.
- 27:17So to him, it's like, yeah,
- 27:18we're moving in three days,
- 27:19whatever that is.
- 27:20Is that a Saturday?
- 27:20I guess whatever, you know,
- 27:22like that's how he's talking.
- 27:23He's also trying to think of the words
- 27:25from Russian to English.
- 27:27So he's like, you know,
- 27:28he just knows he's probably moving in like
- 27:30three days and he's like,
- 27:31whatever that is Saturday.
- 27:32So it just sounds like he isn't sure
- 27:34when they're moving,
- 27:35but he's the guy who doesn't know the
- 27:36day of the week.
- 27:37Probably his English has gone so much
- 27:40better.
- 27:40It has gotten better.
- 27:44I saw an interview with someone saying
- 27:46that they enjoy talking to Roman because
- 27:48they both struggle with the English
- 27:50language and they struggle together.
- 27:52And I,
- 27:53I'm trying to remember who that was.
- 28:01Shoot.
- 28:01It happened this week, but yeah,
- 28:03they both like they're both they're
- 28:05broken.
- 28:05Englishes make sense to each other.
- 28:09And so that's who the person trains with.
- 28:14who was that i don't know i don't
- 28:20know either all this stuff in my head
- 28:22and i can't remember now come on chat
- 28:26yeah i was waiting for someone usually
- 28:29they're quick on some of that stuff
- 28:30where's crossbat yeah um okay so
- 28:38We know that Roman is out.
- 28:40We know that Justin Medeiros is out.
- 28:44We know that Ionikoski is out.
- 28:47On the women's side,
- 28:49do we know who didn't make it?
- 28:55No, I was trying to think of that.
- 28:56It was somebody that they replaced with
- 28:58Danny Spiegel.
- 28:59Sarah Maya.
- 29:01Alexis Raptus.
- 29:01I thought it was the Hayley Adams
- 29:03withdrawal.
- 29:06Yeah, that's it.
- 29:07Oh.
- 29:09Saria Maya was the Hayley Adams.
- 29:12Because there was Alexis and Hayley,
- 29:14I think, were the two that withdrew.
- 29:16And Danny Spiegel was Alexis.
- 29:17I thought Spiegel was already in.
- 29:21She was already in.
- 29:22She has a lot of points from doing
- 29:24all the roads.
- 29:26That was the backfill.
- 29:29No,
- 29:29it was Kyra was one of them for
- 29:34Alexis.
- 29:35And then Syria was the backfill for
- 29:38Hayley.
- 29:41So that's how we know is back in.
- 29:45So we know Sierra and Kyra and on
- 29:47the men's side,
- 29:48we have Saxon and Isaac Newman and Harry
- 29:51Lightfoot and Bailey Martin.
- 29:56Bailey was for Yana.
- 29:59Bailey was Yana.
- 30:00Yeah.
- 30:02Harry was Medeiros or was that?
- 30:06I think Harry was Medeiros.
- 30:07I think Saxon was already in for Vellner.
- 30:10And Isaac Newman was, or did he qualify?
- 30:16Isaac Newman may have qualified.
- 30:17I think he qualified.
- 30:19I think he did too.
- 30:22So, okay.
- 30:25So that's who's in and out.
- 30:28Any programming guesses?
- 30:30I saw a partner of mine trying a
- 30:33horizontal pegboard.
- 30:37You think they're going to have that back
- 30:38this year, huh?
- 30:38I think so.
- 30:41I kind of,
- 30:42I kind of hope they go back to
- 30:44vertical.
- 30:44So,
- 30:49so for the last couple of years you
- 30:51have like the dual sprints,
- 30:53you have the horizontal peg boards,
- 30:56you have the wood muscle up log thing.
- 31:02We know that there's an axle bar.
- 31:03That's like grippy that they posted.
- 31:07We know the sandbag kettlebell they
- 31:09posted.
- 31:10Mm-hmm.
- 31:12The first three though,
- 31:14do you think all will appear?
- 31:16I don't think the log will come back
- 31:18this year.
- 31:19I practiced the yoke muscle ups,
- 31:21but because I don't have a log.
- 31:24I don't think that one will come back.
- 31:27But I think the horizontal pegboard will.
- 31:32I think heavy,
- 31:33heavy sandbags are coming or stones.
- 31:40Something that's more strong man enters
- 31:44this year for sure.
- 31:46Because it's like probably the last year
- 31:48of Scotland.
- 31:50And I just see them.
- 31:53I think we can see stones.
- 31:55Yes.
- 31:58And if they don't want to use stones
- 32:00on the athletes, I mean, they use stones.
- 32:02I think at rogue invitation,
- 32:03not rogue invitation.
- 32:04Sorry.
- 32:05The invitational back then they did many.
- 32:08And we haven't seen it since.
- 32:12if they don't want to do stones because
- 32:13i don't know maybe it's more dangerous to
- 32:16fall on people or what you know then
- 32:19it's gonna be i think a heavy heavy
- 32:20sandbag let me ask you this question have
- 32:22we it hasn't been a year since rob
- 32:25orlando's past has it and he's kind of
- 32:29the one that came up with those stone
- 32:31molds right and he was a rogue athlete
- 32:40That would make sense as kind of a
- 32:42memorial thing for Rob Orlando to bring
- 32:46back stones.
- 32:47Yeah, I think those will be there.
- 32:50The sandbag toss,
- 32:51I'm assuming it's vertical.
- 32:53I don't see them going for distance.
- 32:57But the game's already doing that.
- 32:58The game's did it,
- 32:59and you're not going to go for distance
- 33:01in a workout because bags would just go
- 33:04in someone's lane.
- 33:05So it has to be for height.
- 33:08If it's something like that, or,
- 33:10or it's something similar to what Jr did
- 33:12over like a, a bar, but I don't,
- 33:15I don't see it.
- 33:16Like I see it more as like a,
- 33:18a showcase event over,
- 33:20over something like the strong man do.
- 33:24Yeah.
- 33:27You know, it's going to be heavy.
- 33:28You know, there's going to be a run.
- 33:31Uh,
- 33:31Tessa says there's going to be around a
- 33:32golf.
- 33:37Um,
- 33:39Yeah, I think if I'm Jason Hopper,
- 33:41I'm praying that the log muscle up isn't
- 33:43there.
- 33:46Maybe this is the year he finally doesn't
- 33:48finish last in it.
- 33:52Well,
- 33:52what kills me is that JR bought one
- 33:55and he never tried it.
- 33:57He never practiced.
- 34:00It was right there for the taking.
- 34:03I think that we could see that Rhino
- 34:06machine
- 34:07I don't see it being used for squats
- 34:12because of having to enter and put the
- 34:16like squat belt on would be too much,
- 34:18but I think you could use it as
- 34:20like deadlift for reps within a workout to
- 34:22accumulate a certain amount of,
- 34:25I don't know,
- 34:27pounds that you accumulate or
- 34:30Something like that,
- 34:31where you would do something,
- 34:32a bunch of those dead lifts.
- 34:34Cause I don't think that they'll go for
- 34:36a max lift like the xenon,
- 34:37but they could use it as a,
- 34:41some sort of,
- 34:43you have to hit five thousand total pounds
- 34:45and however many it takes you to do.
- 34:52Has any competition used the log farmers
- 34:54carry since Torian did?
- 34:59I think it's so hard to like make
- 35:03those equal because wood can suck in
- 35:12moisture they can like so to get a
- 35:17log to be equal for everyone and
- 35:20consistent would be very hard like if
- 35:26I don't know,
- 35:27Dallin sweats on one and now it's soaked
- 35:30in with some water.
- 35:31Now the next person has...
- 35:33Because wood is very porous.
- 35:38I feel that way about sandbags sometimes.
- 35:40I'm like,
- 35:41poor Pete's going to be struggling.
- 35:47Yeah, for sure.
- 35:47We've seen a lot of the over-unders as
- 35:49well in the past few years.
- 35:51Whether it was over the log,
- 35:53under the log, over that big...
- 35:57black the one that like um henrik and
- 36:03gabby um we've seen a lot of a
- 36:09hundred seventy pound dumbbells or the
- 36:13nice shiny silver one being used for what
- 36:17devil's press shoulder to overhead um so
- 36:23there i mean a lot of back squats
- 36:25front squats uh
- 36:28hinging which i mean i wouldn't mind they
- 36:33can bring back the mule for a third
- 36:36time the mule that's their they did that
- 36:41one twice so far it's a twenty one
- 36:42fifty nine deadlifts and burby pull-ups oh
- 36:45yeah because they did it i wonder if
- 36:51there's a workout that they redo at each
- 36:52of the locations like because they did
- 36:54texas what two or three three years in
- 36:56texas
- 36:58Two years in Texas.
- 37:00Three.
- 37:01Online.
- 37:04This is the last year in Aberdeen,
- 37:06I believe.
- 37:07So I just feel like something special
- 37:09towards there,
- 37:11which to me screams just like strongman
- 37:13things.
- 37:15KDL says he feels like there will be
- 37:17a wall.
- 37:18That'd be cool.
- 37:22Go over the wall,
- 37:23bring the sandbag over the wall,
- 37:25however you want.
- 37:25Jump over the wall.
- 37:26Or like a
- 37:27for like the dual workout could do
- 37:31something really cool you know like the
- 37:32wall that they had at Torian that you
- 37:34have to go over but grab the bag
- 37:37but like throw it over and then throw
- 37:40yourself over and then land on it like
- 37:46Roman on the other side I guess I
- 37:49mean I'd rather not have a sandbag for
- 37:51that and just run and jump over I
- 37:55think it's cool
- 38:02Do you guys want to make picks?
- 38:04We're not going to ask Carolyn to make
- 38:05picks of the women's division because
- 38:07she's competing in it,
- 38:09and we don't want the blank stares.
- 38:14But can I just say that Brian Friend,
- 38:17picking you to finish last is criminal.
- 38:21You've had a hell of a year.
- 38:24I know, but I mean,
- 38:25I feel like on paper,
- 38:26I'm probably expected to finish last.
- 38:28Like, that's not like a, like, I'm like,
- 38:32okay.
- 38:32Like, I mean,
- 38:33I look at the people in front of
- 38:34me.
- 38:34I'm like, yeah, I mean, yeah,
- 38:38I could finish last, you know?
- 38:40But didn't you beat some of them in
- 38:41the qualifier?
- 38:44Yep.
- 38:44Just saying.
- 38:46Yeah.
- 38:46Just Kyra.
- 38:49That's still, that's not last.
- 38:52But I'm saying there is a strong
- 38:54possibility, and I know that,
- 38:55that I could finish last.
- 38:57I have nothing to lose.
- 38:59I'm expected to finish last.
- 39:04It doesn't hurt me.
- 39:05That's just where I am right now.
- 39:07That's where I could be.
- 39:08But I have nothing to lose and no
- 39:11expectations.
- 39:13And I can hit some home runs if
- 39:14given the right work.
- 39:17I've had home run stuff in the past,
- 39:19and I can still hit them.
- 39:21I feel like the duel usually rewards
- 39:24athleticism,
- 39:25which I think you'll do well in that.
- 39:27I doubt you'll be last.
- 39:36So I'm going to pull up the competitor
- 39:42list just so you can all see it.
- 39:48So this is right from the Rogue website.
- 39:50We'll start with the men.
- 39:53So there are the nineteen competitors that
- 39:56are still listed at.
- 39:59And so we have Jeff Adler, Dallin Pepper,
- 40:01Tudor Magda, Bailey Martin, Ricky Gerard,
- 40:03Colton Mertens, Heinrich Kapilainen,
- 40:07Harry Lightfoot, Jason Hopper, Guy Mejiro,
- 40:10Fabian Hermans, Isaac Newman,
- 40:12James Sprague, Chandler Smith,
- 40:13Nate Ackerman, Saxon Pancheck, Jay Crouch,
- 40:16Moritz Fiebig and Chris Ibarra.
- 40:23How about we pick our top three?
- 40:26Okay.
- 40:26All right.
- 40:27In order.
- 40:30Okay.
- 40:30Do you want me to go first?
- 40:31Yes.
- 40:34Sure.
- 40:34So I have Dallin winning.
- 40:36Same.
- 40:39I think that he's been so close to
- 40:42winning a bunch of things,
- 40:44and with the way Rogue's designed,
- 40:46I think he has the best shot.
- 40:50I have Jeff Adler in second just because
- 40:52he always does well here.
- 40:55This is just made for him.
- 40:58And then my wild... I'll take Jeff.
- 41:02And then my wild card is Tudor Magda.
- 41:04Nice.
- 41:07So I have Dallin one, Adler two,
- 41:09Tudor three.
- 41:10Those three right there down that vertical
- 41:13sounds pretty good to me.
- 41:14One, two, three right there too.
- 41:15I don't know.
- 41:15James though.
- 41:20I know it's rogue.
- 41:20It's hard to bet against James.
- 41:26Yeah.
- 41:26I have Dallin, James, Ricky.
- 41:32Dallin, James, Ricky?
- 41:34Yeah.
- 41:37I don't think it'll be great for Ricky,
- 41:38but we'll see.
- 41:41It's either him or Jay, but for me.
- 41:45Jeff.
- 41:46Yeah, Jeff will do well.
- 41:47Dallin.
- 41:52So we have Jeff James Dallin.
- 41:55We have Dallin James Rickey.
- 41:59And we have Dallin Jeff Tudor.
- 42:07I do think Tudor is going to do
- 42:08well.
- 42:09I do think Jay can do well.
- 42:11But I also like Guy and Chandler here.
- 42:17I just think that that Waterpalooza SoCal
- 42:19gave Tudor an extra boost.
- 42:24And there's something to be said about
- 42:25confidence and proving yourself against
- 42:29the best in the world.
- 42:30And I think Tudor did it that weekend.
- 42:33And I'd love to see that momentum carry
- 42:35over.
- 42:39I'm curious if Chandler's fully healthy
- 42:40with his hamstring.
- 42:41I think if Chandler was healthy at WFP,
- 42:44I believe it would have been an easy
- 42:45top three for him there.
- 42:47I truly believe it was going to be
- 42:48an easy top three with the workouts that
- 42:49were at WFP.
- 42:51And if he's healthy,
- 42:53Rowe can sometimes suit him really,
- 42:55really well as well.
- 42:56I think he could be in the top
- 42:59five or six.
- 42:59Same with Guy.
- 43:01Tessa says, Dallin J. Jeff.
- 43:06KDL says, Hopper James Chandler.
- 43:09One that I'm excited to see within this
- 43:11field is Nate Ackerman.
- 43:13This will be his big...
- 43:16first comp with like in person with the
- 43:18big boys and he has a lot of
- 43:21great potential and athleticism i would
- 43:26i'm and he's strong too i'm very curious
- 43:28to see how he's gonna do here i
- 43:30think nate has to get over uh a
- 43:33mental hurdle it's missing the games
- 43:36missing the games missing the games year
- 43:38after year
- 43:40at different semifinals.
- 43:45Once he clears it,
- 43:46I think he's going to be golden.
- 43:48He just has to do it one time.
- 43:52Because you don't know you can until you
- 43:53do.
- 43:55Yeah,
- 43:56I just think he needs a little more
- 43:57experience still.
- 43:58But yes,
- 43:58he needs a win to gain that confidence.
- 44:03He's still really young.
- 44:05He is.
- 44:07But he takes the losses so hard.
- 44:12He does.
- 44:12And that's the piece that worries me.
- 44:14But if you look back to Tudor three
- 44:17years ago, very, very similar.
- 44:19Very similar, actually.
- 44:22Very similar.
- 44:23And Tudor, I think,
- 44:24has cleared that hurdle.
- 44:26What, two top ten games appearances now?
- 44:31Getting invites to the big comps and
- 44:33throwing down with the big boys and
- 44:35holding his own.
- 44:39Ed says Jeff Dallin Rickey.
- 44:43I mean,
- 44:43I hear the same names kind of around.
- 44:45Yeah.
- 44:46The one, KDL said Hopper.
- 44:49Hopper,
- 44:50there's always something that throws him
- 44:51off here.
- 44:52Correct.
- 44:53And just like I just said with like
- 44:55Nate,
- 44:56he has a rogue thing that he has
- 44:58to get over because he's never done great
- 45:01at rogue.
- 45:02Top ten, sure, but never like top five.
- 45:05I mean, but yeah,
- 45:06like James beats him at rogue.
- 45:08He got a podium at Rogue, didn't he?
- 45:10Didn't he get a third place the one
- 45:11year?
- 45:12Hopper?
- 45:14Am I wrong thinking that?
- 45:15You're wrong thinking that.
- 45:18Because he always gets a couple dead last.
- 45:20I remember him finishing a sandbag workout
- 45:23and then getting a third place.
- 45:25Why do I remember that?
- 45:27Am I wrong thinking that?
- 45:32I mean,
- 45:32I can look through the leaderboard real
- 45:33quick.
- 45:35after we're done with the women,
- 45:36but I'm pretty doggone sure he's never,
- 45:39ever podiumed.
- 45:41Would it have been the year of the
- 45:43torrential rain in Texas?
- 45:46No, I'm thinking about Scotland.
- 45:48Oh, in Scotland.
- 45:48Oh, then no, I don't.
- 45:50Because I feel like it was his first
- 45:52podium since regionals or something,
- 45:54since he podiumed.
- 45:58Why am I thinking that?
- 46:02He always has a dead last.
- 46:05Either a handstand push-up workout or the
- 46:08log muscle-up workout or the horizontal
- 46:11pegboard.
- 46:13He gets got on a couple things,
- 46:16and then... Yeah,
- 46:16you just can't come back from that.
- 46:22I mean, he's not winning.
- 46:23You'd have to win everything else.
- 46:25Third place in twenty four.
- 46:26I was there.
- 46:27That's that's why I'm thinking about it.
- 46:28I swear he got third place.
- 46:30Twenty twenty four.
- 46:31First year in Scotland.
- 46:33It was this.
- 46:34This is why I remember it was his
- 46:35first podium since his like breakout year
- 46:42at.
- 46:45Syndicate Crown or whatever,
- 46:47whatever it was.
- 46:49Oh, the sandbag clean workout.
- 46:54And he earned his way to the podium.
- 46:57Well,
- 46:57that was kind of his upswing because then
- 46:58after that, he won the game.
- 47:01So, like,
- 47:01he started his little winning trend.
- 47:05Okay.
- 47:05I'm proven wrong.
- 47:08I admit I'm wrong.
- 47:10Record it.
- 47:11Clip it.
- 47:11All right.
- 47:14Let's go to the women.
- 47:19On the women's side.
- 47:21We have Ariel Lowen, Lucy Campbell,
- 47:23Emily Rolfe, Emma Tall, Danielle Brandon,
- 47:25Maddie Sturt, Abby Domet, Jennifer Muir,
- 47:29Alex Kazan, Olivia Kerstetter,
- 47:30Danny Spiegel, Carolyn Prevost.
- 47:33Who's that?
- 47:35Laura Horvath, Amy Kringle, Paige Rogers,
- 47:37Kyra Milligan, Emmett Lawson,
- 47:39Gabby Magawa, Elisa Fuliano,
- 47:43and Sierra Maya.
- 47:43Did you say Lucy?
- 47:44Lucy.
- 47:48Lucy Campbell?
- 47:49Yeah.
- 47:50Second person.
- 47:52I feel like this is a stacked women's
- 47:56field, to be honest.
- 47:57It's so stacked.
- 47:59That's why I honestly don't take it
- 48:01personal.
- 48:02When Bernie puts me last, I'm like,
- 48:03look at these names.
- 48:05They're so fit.
- 48:07For me to be just competing with them
- 48:10is cool.
- 48:12This is hard.
- 48:14It's hard to bet against Laura.
- 48:16It's going to be wild.
- 48:18I go first since you went first on
- 48:20the men's gap.
- 48:22I got Amy Kringle winning,
- 48:23Laura Horvath second, Emma Tall third.
- 48:27Great picks.
- 48:30I have Emma Tall winning.
- 48:31Nice.
- 48:33What I saw at WFP,
- 48:34if she is healthy... Yeah, I know.
- 48:37Rogue is great for her.
- 48:39And you know, like,
- 48:40I am actually a Laura fan, so like...
- 48:43For me to see what she did at
- 48:45WFP and to put her up there, one,
- 48:49was a big deal for me.
- 48:50Emma Tall won.
- 48:51Amy Kringle second.
- 48:53Alex Kazan third.
- 48:54I had to bail Alex Kazan fourth.
- 48:56And then I have Laura fourth.
- 48:58Okay.
- 49:01It is stacked, though.
- 49:02But then you got Emma Lawson and Lucy
- 49:03Campbell.
- 49:03Yeah,
- 49:04Emma Lawson's podium like a few times at
- 49:07Rogue.
- 49:08She just so fit.
- 49:10Lucy podiumed last year, I think, as well,
- 49:12too.
- 49:12Yeah.
- 49:13Olivia could do well.
- 49:14Yep.
- 49:16Paige could do well.
- 49:17And then what's Gabby bringing to the
- 49:19table this year?
- 49:20Like, it's crazy.
- 49:25It feels nuts.
- 49:26It is a very, very stacked.
- 49:28This one was way, way harder.
- 49:30But I cannot unsee what I saw at
- 49:33WFP with them at all.
- 49:35Like, that was...
- 49:37And she's going up against Amy and Laura.
- 49:39And it's a very dominant performance.
- 49:45But she has to stay healthy.
- 49:46That's my only fear in that pick.
- 49:53She looks good at WFP,
- 49:54so hopefully she's rolling with it.
- 49:57Whenever she's been healthy,
- 49:58she's been very competitive in no matter
- 50:00what competition she's doing.
- 50:02Right.
- 50:02Not just a WFP bias.
- 50:05Whenever she's been healthy at the game,
- 50:07she's done well.
- 50:08Whenever she's been healthy at other
- 50:10events, she's done well.
- 50:11Yeah.
- 50:13Yeah.
- 50:15It's going to be a fun one to
- 50:16watch.
- 50:17With Rogue,
- 50:18it was hard not to put an Olivia
- 50:20Kerstetter up there.
- 50:21I know.
- 50:22It really is.
- 50:24Even Abby Domet does better at Rogue than
- 50:26she does at the games.
- 50:29This could be good for Abby.
- 50:30Danny always does well here.
- 50:33She crushes it.
- 50:35She's often top ten.
- 50:39The top ten in this will be...
- 50:40Kyra can hit some home runs here.
- 50:46Jen's super fit.
- 50:50Yeah, I mean, everyone's good.
- 50:51Katie else says no one mentioned Gabby.
- 50:53I'm not going to mention Gabby till I
- 50:54see her perform with the fixed Achilles.
- 50:58Right.
- 50:59In my sports life,
- 51:01unless you're Kobe Bryant,
- 51:02it takes you a long time to come
- 51:03back from that.
- 51:06Usually two years.
- 51:09This is year one.
- 51:10Next year,
- 51:11maybe I'll give Gabby some love.
- 51:14Want her to do well, think she's great,
- 51:15awesome.
- 51:16But I just, against this field,
- 51:19you have to be at the hundred percent.
- 51:30The last thing I wanted to share about
- 51:31Rogue is, I'm gonna share my screen again,
- 51:37is how you can watch Rogue this year.
- 51:40So if you go to the Rogue website,
- 51:43you can get this on YouTube.
- 51:45I'm not trying to pull anybody away from
- 51:46YouTube,
- 51:47but you can go to the Rogue website.
- 51:49And if you do,
- 51:51I don't know if you guys can see
- 51:52this on the bottom.
- 51:53Wrong screen.
- 51:56Down here at the bottom,
- 51:58you can pick your camera.
- 52:02So you can pick the regular live stream
- 52:04from YouTube.
- 52:05You can pick the cable cam that floats
- 52:08above the floor.
- 52:09You can pick the high-end zone cam.
- 52:14You can pick the low-end zone cam.
- 52:17Or you can do an overhead cam,
- 52:18which I believe the overhead is on the
- 52:21rig.
- 52:22Okay.
- 52:25So are you going to have multiple TVs
- 52:27of different angles?
- 52:28You know it.
- 52:31So literally what I do is I take
- 52:34my laptop, Carolyn,
- 52:35and I open up multiple windows of the
- 52:38Rogue website and I plug in all of
- 52:41the monitors I have from like work and
- 52:43from home.
- 52:44And then I have like a command center
- 52:46with all the angles.
- 52:47That's cool.
- 52:50Is this the like twenty dollar extra
- 52:52broadcast fee or not charging extra this
- 52:54year?
- 52:55This is just geez, old Pete's.
- 52:58Dominating.
- 53:00Yeah, it is.
- 53:04Yeah,
- 53:04I paid for it two years ago and
- 53:06three years ago and it was awesome.
- 53:09Now,
- 53:10it doesn't look like you can move them.
- 53:12Like two years ago,
- 53:13the one on the rig,
- 53:14you could literally move and watch
- 53:18whatever lane you wanted to watch.
- 53:23So, yeah,
- 53:26you only need to wake up at three
- 53:27a.m.
- 53:27to utilize it.
- 53:29Well, generally strong man goes first.
- 53:31So you really only have to wake up
- 53:33at like five a.m.
- 53:36Jamie, you'll never do it, though.
- 53:38Just let you know.
- 53:44So, yeah, it is.
- 53:47Honestly, you've got it.
- 53:49If you have never tried it,
- 53:50you've got to try it.
- 53:53It is the coolest experience,
- 53:56the best coverage in this sport if it's
- 54:00done at a high level.
- 54:02And last year, the graphics,
- 54:03if people do not remember,
- 54:04there were NFL-style graphics like
- 54:07floating over the floor.
- 54:11Last year,
- 54:12Rogue knocked it out of the park.
- 54:14And I believe they have CBS working with
- 54:18them to do it.
- 54:19And then CBS gets to run highlight shows
- 54:22for the whole year.
- 54:24So they actually bring in like
- 54:26professionals do the whole thing.
- 54:35Yeah, I'm sorry.
- 54:36I'm East Coast bias.
- 54:37I will always be.
- 54:40i don't get to watch him i don't
- 54:41get to watch mma anymore because you don't
- 54:43start it until like two a.m east coast
- 54:47time yes the options on flow leader
- 54:54pixelated stuttering or blank screen or
- 54:56just get kicked off log in repeatedly man
- 55:05so yeah
- 55:08That's the bad thing.
- 55:09We just had crash with flow elite and
- 55:12all the problems.
- 55:14And then you're going to watch rogue this
- 55:15weekend and see what like the best of
- 55:18the best can do.
- 55:19Yep.
- 55:21And it's all going to be free.
- 55:25Honestly,
- 55:26CrossFit is lucky that this isn't closer
- 55:29to the games because the,
- 55:33I feel like the difference there would be
- 55:37mind blowing as well.
- 55:38When you have the command center and you
- 55:40have all the angles and you can just
- 55:41kind of bounce around from screen to
- 55:43screen,
- 55:44it makes watching this so much better
- 55:46because you can move to wherever the thing
- 55:48you want to see is.
- 55:51And not just see people laying on the
- 55:53ground after they finish while there's a
- 55:54race going on.
- 56:02But anyway,
- 56:02I wanted to share that with everybody.
- 56:04Make sure you take advantage of it.
- 56:07Because Rogue just kills it every single
- 56:09year.
- 56:13Any last thoughts on Rogue before we move
- 56:15on?
- 56:18Nope.
- 56:18I actually think I have a fairly open
- 56:21weekend and finally can sit down and enjoy
- 56:23some CrossFit.
- 56:24I'm excited.
- 56:28yeah well penn state's not worth watching
- 56:30on a saturday anymore so at least i'll
- 56:33have something on saturday and uh the
- 56:36bears don't play till monday night or they
- 56:38play thursday night so i don't have any
- 56:40bears game on sunday either i do have
- 56:42a lions game at four or twenty five
- 56:44on sunday um so yeah when do you
- 56:50think some workouts will come out tomorrow
- 56:52tuesday in the past they well
- 56:56One year they didn't release until
- 56:57basically our athlete briefing.
- 56:59But in the past,
- 57:00normally we got some information on the
- 57:01Monday.
- 57:04And then we'll get briefed over there.
- 57:09We might get some events released over
- 57:11there.
- 57:13Like before.
- 57:14They might release like fifty or sixty
- 57:16percent of the events.
- 57:18And then leave the finale or two or
- 57:21three.
- 57:21Because normally they would they'll do a
- 57:25uh post and then either the names and
- 57:28then some of them only have like the
- 57:30dual let's say like tv the of like
- 57:36released and i believe tomorrow typically
- 57:40is when we find out something in the
- 57:42past the monday
- 57:46Ed has a PTA event on Thursday.
- 57:49Ed,
- 57:50if the Bears play on Thursday and my
- 57:52kid's PTA is scheduled on Thursday,
- 57:56then the PTA gets rescheduled or you go
- 57:58on without me.
- 58:04It's just how I roll.
- 58:06I'm glad my daughter's twenty five now and
- 58:08I don't have to worry about that shit
- 58:09no more.
- 58:11Yeah.
- 58:13Because I like to have business meetings
- 58:15on the air, Jamie,
- 58:17are you open to do some, like,
- 58:18recap shows next weekend since we're both
- 58:21available to watch?
- 58:24I think that should work fine.
- 58:26I know Friday I have to take my
- 58:30parents to the airport,
- 58:31so I'm going to have to, like,
- 58:32end that that night.
- 58:33So I won't be available Friday night,
- 58:36really.
- 58:36Okay.
- 58:36Okay.
- 58:40unless it's like lately and I've caught up
- 58:42on it.
- 58:42I don't want to go like super late,
- 58:44but yeah,
- 58:46I could probably do one on Saturday and
- 58:48then we can have our Sunday.
- 58:50Okay.
- 58:51Cause it'll be done early for us.
- 58:53Yeah.
- 58:57So, okay.
- 58:59Um,
- 59:00last couple of things and then we'll get
- 59:01out of here, uh,
- 59:04is I'm going to start with the last
- 59:06one first.
- 59:07WFP hints.
- 59:08Yeah.
- 59:08If you go to their Instagram,
- 59:12This is their second hint now of something
- 59:16new news for the twenty twenty seven
- 59:18season.
- 59:19I just want to see with you guys
- 59:21what you guys think that is.
- 59:24What are your predictions on like how the
- 59:26season will work?
- 59:27We should in like some sort of interview
- 59:29recently.
- 59:30They said that some news is coming out
- 59:31soon.
- 59:32I don't know what that means.
- 59:35I'm assuming we'll get some info before
- 59:39the actual WFP season.
- 59:43finals are done well like what did it
- 59:46say like if no one says like tour
- 59:48stop world yeah so they they're crossing
- 59:53off twenty seven world fitness tour and
- 59:56they're making it twenty twenty seven
- 59:58world fitness series so this is their
- 1:00:04second hit I don't know where their first
- 1:00:05one was but yeah uh
- 1:00:16I didn't see one.
- 1:00:16I don't see another one.
- 1:00:23But here was my thoughts just from
- 1:00:25watching other sports.
- 1:00:27So typically,
- 1:00:28like if you call a sport a series,
- 1:00:31there is like six events and you have
- 1:00:36to pick three of them to participate in.
- 1:00:40you earn points in those three events and
- 1:00:44then at the end of the season you
- 1:00:45go to the finals based on the p
- 1:00:47the top whatever with the most points but
- 1:00:54it's all speculation because i've i have
- 1:00:56no inside information i have no idea but
- 1:00:59like a tour i mean golf doesn't do
- 1:01:05it this way and it's a tour but
- 1:01:06you typically try to do all the events
- 1:01:11I think a series you're going to have
- 1:01:12to cap out.
- 1:01:13You can only do so many.
- 1:01:15You take your best three?
- 1:01:18I don't think it's best three.
- 1:01:19I think they're going to say you pick
- 1:01:20three.
- 1:01:22That requires them to put on more events,
- 1:01:24which is more...
- 1:01:25They could use other events.
- 1:01:28Exactly.
- 1:01:28That's what they're going to do.
- 1:01:29I think they're going to buy out some
- 1:01:31other events.
- 1:01:31Yeah.
- 1:01:35Either they buy them out or they just
- 1:01:36partner with them and that one counts as
- 1:01:38a WFP points.
- 1:01:40Yeah.
- 1:01:41Like they put Heart of America at the
- 1:01:43WFP Indianapolis.
- 1:01:44You just call it Heart of America,
- 1:01:46part of the World Fitness Series.
- 1:01:49And then you can run the community
- 1:01:50division and the elite division at the
- 1:01:52same time.
- 1:01:54I think that was like a trial run.
- 1:01:58And then it's a series because you have
- 1:02:00community events along with them.
- 1:02:02You bring more people into the building
- 1:02:04than just the people who want to watch
- 1:02:06it.
- 1:02:08And that did make a difference on Sunday
- 1:02:10in Indianapolis.
- 1:02:12I'm just curious what the pro card means
- 1:02:15now in terms of like when you have
- 1:02:18a pro card this year,
- 1:02:19they pay for your travel to these events.
- 1:02:23You qualify automatically.
- 1:02:24And I'm pretty sure they get like their
- 1:02:25hotel and flights paid for, I think.
- 1:02:29How does that work in a series format?
- 1:02:31All of that like that.
- 1:02:33That's what I'm curious about.
- 1:02:34Like,
- 1:02:34what does the pro card carry for value
- 1:02:39next year?
- 1:02:40And again,
- 1:02:41that's important to you because you are
- 1:02:43right on that line to get a pro
- 1:02:44card.
- 1:02:46But again, I want to repeat,
- 1:02:48none of us have inside information.
- 1:02:50We are all just speculating on what this
- 1:02:52could be.
- 1:02:53But it was nice to see, like,
- 1:02:55I mean,
- 1:02:55Dallin wrote in the comments that he
- 1:02:57thinks it'll be cool.
- 1:02:58And like,
- 1:02:58is he going to come back and join
- 1:03:00the series?
- 1:03:00You know,
- 1:03:01some of the athletes that didn't do it
- 1:03:02this year, you know,
- 1:03:05someone like Dallin's just watching Jason
- 1:03:08or not Jason, James, just easy money.
- 1:03:12Well,
- 1:03:12and the other thing a series could do
- 1:03:14if you don't have to go to every
- 1:03:15event is if something falls when you're
- 1:03:17doing like a quarterfinal or a semifinal,
- 1:03:21you can opt out of that one but
- 1:03:23then jump back in in other locations.
- 1:03:27So I think it's good.
- 1:03:29Yeah.
- 1:03:30And Phil says they did partner with a
- 1:03:32lot of events last year.
- 1:03:36Well, they've –
- 1:03:39But I think Indianapolis is the only time
- 1:03:40that they occurred at the same location.
- 1:03:47Yeah,
- 1:03:47because they have a partnership with the
- 1:03:51Down Under competition in Australia,
- 1:03:55but they didn't hold like a WFP event
- 1:03:57there.
- 1:03:59Right.
- 1:04:00So, yeah.
- 1:04:03But I think that's just a step towards
- 1:04:05what we've kind of speculated on.
- 1:04:08Like,
- 1:04:08could the game season at all be part
- 1:04:11of it?
- 1:04:11That's what I'm wondering.
- 1:04:14Well,
- 1:04:14there was a lot of comments in there.
- 1:04:16Is it going to be a semifinal?
- 1:04:17Yeah.
- 1:04:21Well, I think that defeats the purpose.
- 1:04:23It wouldn't be a semifinal.
- 1:04:25That just defeats the purpose of having a
- 1:04:27series or a tour or whatever you want
- 1:04:29to call it.
- 1:04:31Now you're just one event.
- 1:04:32You're just like Wadapalooza or you're
- 1:04:34just like...
- 1:04:36And I don't think that's what they want.
- 1:04:40And to be honest, after going to one,
- 1:04:41that's not what I want for them.
- 1:04:43I want them to be different and find
- 1:04:45their own niche.
- 1:04:47I don't want them to be the same
- 1:04:48as the games.
- 1:04:48We already have the games.
- 1:04:53That's what I love about what Waterpalooza
- 1:04:55did this year.
- 1:04:56It wasn't like anything else we watch.
- 1:05:00Because of the teams,
- 1:05:01because of the way they did it,
- 1:05:02because of the way some people got to
- 1:05:04play,
- 1:05:04some sat the bench throughout the weekend,
- 1:05:07it made it more exciting as an off-season
- 1:05:10thing.
- 1:05:11Keep the games format pristine as it is,
- 1:05:15if you could ever come up with one
- 1:05:16that's the same two years in a row.
- 1:05:20And let the other stuff do the wild,
- 1:05:21crazy, different stuff.
- 1:05:27So...
- 1:05:29There's that.
- 1:05:31We also have national champions were
- 1:05:34announced last week.
- 1:05:36Well, not the champions,
- 1:05:38but how they're going to be champions.
- 1:05:41I made my feelings abundantly clear on
- 1:05:43Friday's show, on the lunch show,
- 1:05:45so I'll let you two say what you
- 1:05:48want to say.
- 1:05:49I have not looked at what the guidelines
- 1:05:52are for this.
- 1:05:53I just caught your guys' chat back and
- 1:05:55forth.
- 1:05:57None of it makes sense to me, really.
- 1:05:58I just don't know how you name like
- 1:06:01there's so many countries in the world.
- 1:06:03So I like the idea of having in
- 1:06:06person events kind of like regionals for
- 1:06:08them.
- 1:06:10Then why not just have regionals?
- 1:06:11Right.
- 1:06:14But like, let's say I don't know,
- 1:06:16some event is hosted in this country in
- 1:06:20Africa.
- 1:06:21Like it just becomes whoever decided to do
- 1:06:25that comp from other because there's a
- 1:06:26bunch of countries.
- 1:06:28They could come and do that.
- 1:06:29Like, I don't know.
- 1:06:30I guess it's confusing how all of these
- 1:06:33countries can determine their national
- 1:06:35champions.
- 1:06:36Only some of them would be in person.
- 1:06:38And if you happen to pay for your
- 1:06:40qualifier to go to that comp,
- 1:06:43you can possibly be a national champ.
- 1:06:47The rest of them would be online or
- 1:06:49quarterfinals.
- 1:06:51So I'll quickly go through the details.
- 1:06:53I really don't care, and this is why,
- 1:06:54and I'll say why after.
- 1:06:56The athletes have to do the open
- 1:06:58quarterfinals to compete.
- 1:07:00Qualification for national champion event
- 1:07:01may differ by event,
- 1:07:04but the top ten from each country at
- 1:07:06a quarterfinals will automatically qualify
- 1:07:09and should get an invite.
- 1:07:10If there's no local national champion
- 1:07:12event,
- 1:07:12the top finisher from the CrossFit Open or
- 1:07:15quarterfinals from that country will be
- 1:07:17named champion.
- 1:07:18If a non-citizen wins the host event,
- 1:07:20the title passes down to the highest
- 1:07:21placing citizen for that event.
- 1:07:27Athletes may compete in the CrossFit Games
- 1:07:29season to earn the title of Fittest on
- 1:07:30Earth and compete in the National
- 1:07:32Championship track to earn a National
- 1:07:33Championship title.
- 1:07:34So no matter what you do with the
- 1:07:36games, if you want the national title,
- 1:07:38you've got to go to the separate event.
- 1:07:43That doesn't make sense.
- 1:07:44In some instances,
- 1:07:44a competition may host multiple countries.
- 1:07:48So if you're in Africa,
- 1:07:49you can go in between eight countries and
- 1:07:52invite them all and name eight different
- 1:07:54national champions.
- 1:07:57I just think that that's hard to do.
- 1:07:59Like if you have multiple countries at
- 1:08:02your event, it just becomes who got,
- 1:08:04who went there.
- 1:08:05It doesn't even matter if they're better.
- 1:08:07Right.
- 1:08:08Like, I just, I don't know.
- 1:08:09It's weird.
- 1:08:12Only the individual men and women
- 1:08:13divisions will qualify for the national
- 1:08:15championship.
- 1:08:16So none of the duos or the affiliate
- 1:08:20teams will be part of it.
- 1:08:22And then it goes into how you can
- 1:08:24become an event.
- 1:08:26So here's my overall thought.
- 1:08:29I am so sick and tired of CrossFit
- 1:08:31telling us what we should care about
- 1:08:35instead of listening to what we care about
- 1:08:38and trying to fit something into that.
- 1:08:41You're putting competitions,
- 1:08:43small competitions all over the world to
- 1:08:45do this.
- 1:08:46What is different between that and coming
- 1:08:49up with a regional strategy
- 1:08:52set of competitions to qualify people to
- 1:08:54the CrossFit Games.
- 1:08:56Because everywhere I look,
- 1:08:58everywhere I listen, everywhere I watch,
- 1:09:01everybody wants something similar to what
- 1:09:03regionals were back in the day.
- 1:09:06You're kind of putting that format
- 1:09:07together for a thing that nobody gives two
- 1:09:10shits about.
- 1:09:13There's no prize unless they're bringing
- 1:09:15back the golden barbell for each national
- 1:09:17champion.
- 1:09:20I'm just sick of CrossFit going, hey,
- 1:09:23we're doing the Community Cup.
- 1:09:24You should care about this.
- 1:09:25But we don't even care because we're not
- 1:09:27even going to promote it.
- 1:09:29Hey, here's the national champion.
- 1:09:31This is how we're going to do it.
- 1:09:32You should care about it.
- 1:09:33What's the prize?
- 1:09:34You get to print off a certificate off
- 1:09:36your email when you win.
- 1:09:41None of it makes sense.
- 1:09:43Well,
- 1:09:43there's going to be probably no oversight
- 1:09:45just like everything else.
- 1:09:47So who's to say that
- 1:09:51Joe Schmo putting on an event can't just
- 1:09:52do like whatever,
- 1:09:54just eight strongman events.
- 1:09:55And that's,
- 1:09:55that's the national championship.
- 1:09:56Not like, again, what is going to,
- 1:10:00what's going to make it any,
- 1:10:01have any credibility.
- 1:10:02And it,
- 1:10:03and it may mean something to someone in
- 1:10:05Kazakhstan or whatever,
- 1:10:07but if you're from the U S and
- 1:10:08James Sprigg,
- 1:10:09Sprigg wins the games and he decides not
- 1:10:11to do this comp and I go and
- 1:10:13I win, but Hopper's not there.
- 1:10:15And James isn't there.
- 1:10:17And all the other, what,
- 1:10:18what does it matter?
- 1:10:19It doesn't.
- 1:10:21none of it matters system what's that you
- 1:10:27remember the ranking system that they had
- 1:10:31like that yeah yeah the worldwide ranking
- 1:10:35system they had a worldwide ranking system
- 1:10:37for a while it was awful but yeah
- 1:10:40i had to remember it but i like
- 1:10:41the idea of that more like get points
- 1:10:44for the open get points of the chorus
- 1:10:46get points for an in-person semi-final
- 1:10:49then maybe at the end of the year
- 1:10:50between those
- 1:10:51would call your national champion and you
- 1:10:54got more points for a bigger event well
- 1:10:58that's the thing the games should take the
- 1:11:02highest precedence so whoever wins at the
- 1:11:05games if it's the canadian that's your
- 1:11:08national champ sorry everyone else got
- 1:11:10booted that's the way it is today but
- 1:11:14they're now they're trying to get all the
- 1:11:15other countries included who never put
- 1:11:17anybody that far into the season
- 1:11:20But they could do something like the rogue
- 1:11:26point system where the open counts for a
- 1:11:28little bit less.
- 1:11:29The quarters counts for a little bit more.
- 1:11:31The semifinals counts for a little bit
- 1:11:32more.
- 1:11:33And at the end, within your country,
- 1:11:36you could sort it for your country.
- 1:11:38Right.
- 1:11:38And then who's the highest rank of the
- 1:11:40season by this date?
- 1:11:42Why can't we just go back to regionals?
- 1:11:45I like the idea of a ranking system,
- 1:11:46though.
- 1:11:47Like,
- 1:11:47I am ranked this much in the world.
- 1:11:50Like, especially for an individual sport,
- 1:11:52we talk about ranking stuff all the time.
- 1:11:54They just never follow through with it
- 1:11:55more than two or three years.
- 1:11:57But the ranking, I actually like that.
- 1:12:00Because, like, you were looking,
- 1:12:01and it's like, oh, okay, I started here.
- 1:12:03I'm starting to dip.
- 1:12:03I'm, like, sixth now.
- 1:12:04You know,
- 1:12:05you're trying to fight to get back in
- 1:12:07the top fifty or, you know, whatever.
- 1:12:09Like you can say,
- 1:12:11and you can promote that to a sponsor
- 1:12:12and be like, I'm ranked this, this year.
- 1:12:16I hear what you're saying.
- 1:12:18I hear what you're saying,
- 1:12:19but it has to mean something.
- 1:12:21You have to use that ranking for
- 1:12:22something.
- 1:12:24It can't just be an arbitrary number or
- 1:12:26nobody really cares.
- 1:12:28Well, I think,
- 1:12:28I think you could use it for the
- 1:12:29year during the year you're ranked X
- 1:12:32number.
- 1:12:33What does that get you?
- 1:12:35It's just, it's just your ranking.
- 1:12:36It's,
- 1:12:37it's how you can tell how good you
- 1:12:38are.
- 1:12:41If you're a non-ranked athlete,
- 1:12:42then you got work to do.
- 1:12:43And if you're ranked in that,
- 1:12:45like you're probably really.
- 1:12:46But if I'm ranked fifth in the world
- 1:12:48and I shit the bed at the qualifier
- 1:12:50for the games and I don't even get
- 1:12:52there, what did that fifth mean?
- 1:12:54You'll drop down because you,
- 1:12:57you make every event worth so much more
- 1:12:59than if you make it to the games
- 1:13:01automatically,
- 1:13:02you should get in front of the people
- 1:13:06that only made it to the quarters or
- 1:13:07whatever,
- 1:13:07because you value more points at the
- 1:13:09games.
- 1:13:10Like no matter what,
- 1:13:11if you didn't make it to the games,
- 1:13:13you would drop down below the forty that
- 1:13:15are at the games or thirty that are.
- 1:13:17I think that's what WFP is trying to
- 1:13:19do.
- 1:13:20A season of earning points to give you
- 1:13:22a ranking going to a finals.
- 1:13:25That means something to me.
- 1:13:27That ranking means more than an arbitrary
- 1:13:30statistician putting together numbers from
- 1:13:34this event,
- 1:13:35that event and trying to figure and figure
- 1:13:37it all out.
- 1:13:39it's to me it'd be like and it
- 1:13:42would never work but in what carolyn's
- 1:13:45saying so we've i've always noticed around
- 1:13:49here people will sign up for like
- 1:13:53intermediate or rx for something when they
- 1:13:55shouldn't so like it'd be like well jr
- 1:13:58would just tell you like you can come
- 1:14:01to crash if your worldwide ranking system
- 1:14:04is if you're like top one hundred you're
- 1:14:07message me you're in the problem is it
- 1:14:09would because i think that the issue is
- 1:14:11it would take away qualifiers because you
- 1:14:14would force people to do all these like
- 1:14:16things to get points but then you would
- 1:14:17know and you'd be like you aren't you
- 1:14:19can't do wadapalooza rx like you have to
- 1:14:23do elite you're not or you can't do
- 1:14:26intermediate because you're sandbagging
- 1:14:27and you're just going to try to win
- 1:14:28that category when we can tell you're a
- 1:14:31hundredth in the world
- 1:14:36That's what the levels were.
- 1:14:37Everything was attempted in some way or
- 1:14:40another.
- 1:14:40I know, and nothing gets held to it.
- 1:14:42But it could, if anything got traction,
- 1:14:46it could guide competition into helping to
- 1:14:51assign people to the right category.
- 1:14:58I'm not asking for regionals to come back,
- 1:15:00but if you're putting together a thing
- 1:15:02with competitions around the world...
- 1:15:05for something that nobody cares about,
- 1:15:07it's not worth it.
- 1:15:09But if you made it a qualification for
- 1:15:11the games, whatever you want to call it,
- 1:15:13and you're trying to be a national
- 1:15:15champion,
- 1:15:15but your opportunity is to compete against
- 1:15:18people from your area that are going to
- 1:15:20the games,
- 1:15:21that means so much more for those people.
- 1:15:24They can say, hey,
- 1:15:25I made it to this competition,
- 1:15:28and I got to compete against James
- 1:15:30Sprague,
- 1:15:30and now I'm the national champion of...
- 1:15:35I don't, whatever, conga.
- 1:15:44That means more than just like going to
- 1:15:46a competition with a bunch of people at
- 1:15:48your level,
- 1:15:49you happen to win that year and you
- 1:15:50get a print office certificate.
- 1:15:51Right.
- 1:15:55What made it special,
- 1:15:56that's what made regionals this iconic
- 1:16:00thing,
- 1:16:00were that the people that weren't good
- 1:16:03enough to make the games or never were
- 1:16:04going to make the games might be the
- 1:16:06thirty eighth place person in your region
- 1:16:09and could go compete against Rich Froning
- 1:16:12and Graham Holmberg and Ben Smith and all.
- 1:16:16And they got to say,
- 1:16:17I went out on this floor.
- 1:16:19I competed against the best.
- 1:16:21Yeah, I finished last,
- 1:16:23but I got my shot.
- 1:16:32There's no follow-up or real promotion
- 1:16:36from CrossFit for the levels,
- 1:16:38community cup, et cetera.
- 1:16:39Amen, amen, amen.
- 1:16:40You are very correct on that.
- 1:16:40They shit the bed on that because it
- 1:16:42could be amazing.
- 1:16:48I like the idea of the community cup,
- 1:16:49but you have to put it in a
- 1:16:52place where people care.
- 1:16:54It was halfway done when Dave on his
- 1:16:56week in review goes, oh,
- 1:16:57I remembered this happened and I decided
- 1:17:00to do it.
- 1:17:01The Community Cup should just be Team
- 1:17:02Series at that point in the year.
- 1:17:03Just make it Team Series.
- 1:17:06Team Series, I loved.
- 1:17:08But that's the off-season one that they
- 1:17:10could do.
- 1:17:16I'm asking this to everybody.
- 1:17:18Well,
- 1:17:19didn't they have one that was a pair
- 1:17:20one year too?
- 1:17:21Yeah.
- 1:17:23I didn't like that as much, but okay.
- 1:17:25But same idea.
- 1:17:26You have your off-season team one.
- 1:17:29I think that's more fun.
- 1:17:30And then you can either go,
- 1:17:31let's say like guy, girl, girl, girl.
- 1:17:35So I thought that the team series was
- 1:17:37one of the best things that CrossFit ever
- 1:17:38did.
- 1:17:39And I'm asking,
- 1:17:40I need to ask this question because where
- 1:17:41I live,
- 1:17:42I got to go watch Rogue Team Red
- 1:17:44and Rogue Team Black go live, right?
- 1:17:48Every time they did it.
- 1:17:50And that was a huge experience for me.
- 1:17:52Plus I had fun doing it with my
- 1:17:53friends,
- 1:17:54the same workouts that Rogue Team Red and
- 1:17:57Rogue Team Black were doing.
- 1:18:00And I thought they were really
- 1:18:02well-designed workouts.
- 1:18:03Was it as popular as it is in
- 1:18:05my head,
- 1:18:06or am I thinking it's bigger because of
- 1:18:08where I live?
- 1:18:16It was big.
- 1:18:17We all watched those YouTube of those
- 1:18:18teams and stuff.
- 1:18:19Like, it was big back then.
- 1:18:19It was big.
- 1:18:19I think you probably have a slight bias.
- 1:18:20I mean,
- 1:18:21when you get to go experience that stuff
- 1:18:22in person,
- 1:18:22it has a much more lasting impact.
- 1:18:24For sure.
- 1:18:29But I really enjoy doing it with my
- 1:18:30friends.
- 1:18:33It was my best friend and two super
- 1:18:37fit women from the gym.
- 1:18:39It was actually my time to actually do
- 1:18:42RX.
- 1:18:43They did it in the fall.
- 1:18:47I wanted to redo a workout so bad
- 1:18:49that I brought three of my teammates to
- 1:18:51my hometown for Thanksgiving weekend.
- 1:18:54Because I'm like,
- 1:18:54I got to redo this clean or something
- 1:18:56that I had to do.
- 1:18:57And I'm like, we're coming back.
- 1:18:58And they came for Thanksgiving.
- 1:19:00And then we did the work because one
- 1:19:01of my teammates was from my hometown too.
- 1:19:04So we were two of us there.
- 1:19:05Like, come on, let's have a Thanksgiving.
- 1:19:08And we like made a whole weekend of
- 1:19:11it.
- 1:19:12We had weekends that someone was away and
- 1:19:14we had to do all four workouts in
- 1:19:15one day.
- 1:19:17But those are the stories and the fun
- 1:19:20that kind of live on.
- 1:19:24I don't know.
- 1:19:24I really enjoyed it.
- 1:19:28So this is a good segue because earlier
- 1:19:30this week,
- 1:19:31Andrew Hiller did a story about the team
- 1:19:34series being a great opportunity that's
- 1:19:36been missed by CrossFit.
- 1:19:38And if you're living under a rock,
- 1:19:43his YouTube channel was nuked and taken
- 1:19:45away overnight,
- 1:19:46and he has started NoRepTV.
- 1:19:49And all week it has been changing and
- 1:19:51being modified and added to and lots and
- 1:19:55lots of changes.
- 1:19:56And this is where it stands.
- 1:19:57This is my subscriptions.
- 1:19:59I subscribe to Andrew.
- 1:20:02But the main site,
- 1:20:06if you go to noreptv,
- 1:20:08is just a list of all the videos.
- 1:20:10And now there's CrossFit, High Rocks,
- 1:20:13Hybrid, Bodybuilding, Powerlifting,
- 1:20:16all these different categories.
- 1:20:19that you can put stuff into.
- 1:20:20And then you just hit the TV button.
- 1:20:22It's your subscriptions.
- 1:20:23It'll list the videos from your
- 1:20:24subscriptions.
- 1:20:26He's done an amazing job in a very
- 1:20:28short amount of time because tomorrow will
- 1:20:30be one week.
- 1:20:30That's crazy.
- 1:20:36So I just wanted to get your guys'
- 1:20:40thoughts on this.
- 1:20:42I know I run all the stuff we
- 1:20:45do here and you guys are awesome.
- 1:20:47But what are your thoughts about
- 1:20:49everything?
- 1:20:50Because it made me think a lot this
- 1:20:52week because if we happen to say the
- 1:20:56wrong thing some night,
- 1:20:57YouTube could just shut it down.
- 1:21:00And then it's all gone.
- 1:21:03Now, unlike Andrew, this is not my living.
- 1:21:06I still have my job tomorrow.
- 1:21:09But it did make me think for sure.
- 1:21:14How does he make money with that though?
- 1:21:16Like YouTube, he can make money,
- 1:21:18like YouTube pays,
- 1:21:19but when he creates his own website like
- 1:21:21that,
- 1:21:21like even if he gets a bunch of
- 1:21:23subscribers,
- 1:21:24like it's just his own website,
- 1:21:26like how does he actually get money from
- 1:21:28it?
- 1:21:28So he'll do it the same way YouTube
- 1:21:29does.
- 1:21:30He'll just have to set it up in
- 1:21:34the background to have sponsors,
- 1:21:37different things like that.
- 1:21:38I see he's got a thing for sponsors
- 1:21:40on there right now.
- 1:21:42He said he doesn't want interference from
- 1:21:44the sponsors.
- 1:21:45Like he doesn't want them to run during
- 1:21:47the ads.
- 1:21:49But if it's something that says like,
- 1:21:52your channel sponsored by DraftKings was
- 1:21:54the example he used.
- 1:21:57Like brought to you by Andrew Hiller,
- 1:21:59sponsored by DraftKings.
- 1:22:01And then it just goes into the video.
- 1:22:03He's trying not to do ads.
- 1:22:06From what I heard him say.
- 1:22:08Now, I don't know, like,
- 1:22:09as he gets down the road,
- 1:22:11what that means, but...
- 1:22:16So it would be mostly him finding sponsors
- 1:22:18for the shows and stuff.
- 1:22:20Or the channels, or...
- 1:22:23That want to load an ad on the
- 1:22:26side of his page, or...
- 1:22:27Someone bought his No Rep TV and made
- 1:22:30it even bigger and invested in it as,
- 1:22:33like, a new fitness...
- 1:22:36type app yep i mean i think he's
- 1:22:45she's very creative he worked real fast
- 1:22:47all week and turned a crappy situation
- 1:22:52into something real fast so he's clearly
- 1:22:55had this in the works
- 1:23:01He said it was a plan all along,
- 1:23:02but he just had to speed it up
- 1:23:04because of what happened.
- 1:23:06But with the fundraising that happened for
- 1:23:08him over the last week,
- 1:23:10he says he has enough to get up
- 1:23:11and off the ground for three months,
- 1:23:14and he's hoping by then it'll be
- 1:23:15self-sustaining.
- 1:23:21He's traveling today to do a story.
- 1:23:24He went to Lydia and it looks like
- 1:23:26Heidi went to Lydia's gym.
- 1:23:28They're working out together.
- 1:23:29Yeah.
- 1:23:31Yeah.
- 1:23:31That's good.
- 1:23:33Um, I, my only worry,
- 1:23:36like Andrew's very creative and an
- 1:23:38extremely hard workout worker.
- 1:23:40So I'm excited to see where this goes,
- 1:23:44but people are just so hesitant to change.
- 1:23:55I hope he had a strong enough following
- 1:23:58going into this that it can sustain on
- 1:24:01its own.
- 1:24:01But there's a lot of people who do
- 1:24:04not want to get on Rumble or Twitch
- 1:24:06or Patreon and deal with those platforms.
- 1:24:10So they just stop watching some of those.
- 1:24:15If I watch Steven Crowder,
- 1:24:17I'll only catch his thirty minute clip and
- 1:24:20I will not go to Rumble and watch
- 1:24:22the rest of it.
- 1:24:23Well, Rumble sucks.
- 1:24:24I mean, it's just a terrible website.
- 1:24:26I agree.
- 1:24:28I mean, hopefully this is better.
- 1:24:31To me, it's already better than YouTube.
- 1:24:34I don't want to get him in trouble,
- 1:24:35but it is a Teemu version of YouTube.
- 1:24:38It works just like YouTube.
- 1:24:41Yes.
- 1:24:43Well,
- 1:24:43it works like YouTube Premium without the
- 1:24:44Premium.
- 1:24:46Personally, I prefer it.
- 1:24:53So I don't know.
- 1:24:56I was asked on Friday by a person
- 1:24:58in the chat,
- 1:24:59would we ever consider going over there?
- 1:25:01One, the lunch show,
- 1:25:02it does not even have a format.
- 1:25:04So I don't think it would even fit
- 1:25:05over there.
- 1:25:06The only one that I think would fit
- 1:25:08would be this one.
- 1:25:10And I wouldn't go without talking to you
- 1:25:11guys and making sure it's something we all
- 1:25:13wanted to do.
- 1:25:16So that's where I've been waiting to get
- 1:25:18more from him.
- 1:25:21Like he's talked about bringing in like
- 1:25:23more creatives,
- 1:25:24like a ton of people have like,
- 1:25:25you can see, you can create,
- 1:25:26you can create your own channel or
- 1:25:27whatever,
- 1:25:28but you have to wait for him to
- 1:25:29approve you as a creator.
- 1:25:31So, and I,
- 1:25:34I like that he's got those tabs up
- 1:25:35at the top now.
- 1:25:35So you kind of get an idea of
- 1:25:37where he's going with this,
- 1:25:38but I think a lot,
- 1:25:40he needs to be releasing more details or,
- 1:25:43or let it looks like mean for time
- 1:25:45was approved.
- 1:25:47He's the only other creator.
- 1:25:48I think he's the only other creator on
- 1:25:49there.
- 1:25:50So I would like to see some of
- 1:25:52his stuff get uploaded and see what
- 1:25:55Andrew's hoping to come through.
- 1:25:57Like, are you looking for.
- 1:26:00Our three hour long,
- 1:26:02long form podcast talks like you would do
- 1:26:05with like when you would have crying over
- 1:26:07in the basement and do like,
- 1:26:09does he want podcast shows or does he
- 1:26:11want ten minute like.
- 1:26:16Clips and clips.
- 1:26:16Yeah.
- 1:26:17Like this is what we do for bodybuilding.
- 1:26:19This is what we do for like,
- 1:26:21do we want quick hitters?
- 1:26:25Um, I don't know.
- 1:26:25I really, I,
- 1:26:26I hope he comes out with some.
- 1:26:30I think you, I think he needs to,
- 1:26:33because I think we're all sitting here
- 1:26:34kind of waiting for what, what's next.
- 1:26:37Because what I've seen,
- 1:26:39like just by going through it, the,
- 1:26:40the application, I did not apply.
- 1:26:43But by looking at the application,
- 1:26:45it looks like it's built for coaches.
- 1:26:49Agreed.
- 1:26:50I said this to Carolyn in our chat.
- 1:26:55I can say things.
- 1:27:00Plyo by Prevo looks like it fit into
- 1:27:03the format that he's looking for way more
- 1:27:06than anything that I do.
- 1:27:07I agree.
- 1:27:09like it looks like a hub for fitness
- 1:27:11professionals to put all of their stuff
- 1:27:14and to still own it,
- 1:27:16like not be at risk of it being
- 1:27:18wiped away.
- 1:27:20Cause I think that was the biggest thing
- 1:27:22that happened to him ever.
- 1:27:23All the editing and all the final videos
- 1:27:25he made got taken away.
- 1:27:31And this would be a place where you
- 1:27:33could store all of that and have links
- 1:27:35to it that you wouldn't have to be
- 1:27:39dependent on YouTube being around.
- 1:27:43I'm confused with the meme for time.
- 1:27:46Because to me,
- 1:27:47that'd be like almost like proving like
- 1:27:50even like Ariel.
- 1:27:52I don't know if that's really like,
- 1:27:54but that's,
- 1:27:54you're just thinking about the Instagram,
- 1:27:56like the meme for time where he did
- 1:27:57the behind the scenes of the adaptive
- 1:28:00games.
- 1:28:01True.
- 1:28:02And he does a lot of stories with
- 1:28:03the adaptive athletes.
- 1:28:05That's true.
- 1:28:06Like, I think that part fits.
- 1:28:08Yeah.
- 1:28:10With what he's doing.
- 1:28:13And again,
- 1:28:13I haven't seen any of Mean for Time's
- 1:28:15content yet,
- 1:28:15so I don't know what's even coming.
- 1:28:18We're so used to his reels and shorts,
- 1:28:21his little jokey things that... Yeah,
- 1:28:24whatever.
- 1:28:25His stuff at the Adaptive Games is really,
- 1:28:27really good.
- 1:28:28Yeah.
- 1:28:28He's great.
- 1:28:32Like, really good.
- 1:28:34Yeah, I just... We want more, Andrew.
- 1:28:37We want to know where this is going.
- 1:28:38I would totally not be opposed to being...
- 1:28:42over there i just i think yeah we
- 1:28:44need to know what he's looking for because
- 1:28:46i mean well like i think my behind
- 1:28:48the scenes of the masters games would work
- 1:28:51there but then again i had no access
- 1:28:53the last two years to really go behind
- 1:28:55the scenes so it i don't know it's
- 1:29:01weird
- 1:29:05But anyway,
- 1:29:05I just wanted to get your guys' opinion.
- 1:29:07It's not like we have to come up
- 1:29:08with an answer tonight.
- 1:29:09And I'm not even ready to have that
- 1:29:12conversation with you guys yet.
- 1:29:15But it did impact the entire community.
- 1:29:18So I wanted to get your take on
- 1:29:20it.
- 1:29:21Because the scary thing is,
- 1:29:23other than the peptide talk,
- 1:29:25Andrew doesn't swear.
- 1:29:28He doesn't.
- 1:29:29Like,
- 1:29:29none of that stuff happens in his videos.
- 1:29:32Like,
- 1:29:32he is about as clean as you get.
- 1:29:34And to just have it wiped away one
- 1:29:36day is wild with, and I saw this,
- 1:29:41uh, had warnings.
- 1:29:42He had one warning like in.
- 1:29:44Right.
- 1:29:48And he scrubbed his website,
- 1:29:49scrubbed the YouTube channel and missed
- 1:29:52one link.
- 1:29:54That's the thing.
- 1:29:54It was all over a link.
- 1:29:55Like it's, it's frustrating.
- 1:30:01Especially when you see some of the other
- 1:30:03content that's out there.
- 1:30:05It really,
- 1:30:06it just really doesn't even make sense.
- 1:30:08And then you can't even talk to a
- 1:30:09human to like actually get things sorted
- 1:30:13out.
- 1:30:13I don't know.
- 1:30:17I don't know.
- 1:30:18And the problem that I've been talking
- 1:30:19about it is then it becomes a comparison
- 1:30:21thing and I don't want to compare.
- 1:30:23Yeah.
- 1:30:24I'm a firm believer in freedom of speech
- 1:30:26and,
- 1:30:26and that I have the freedom to change
- 1:30:28the channel.
- 1:30:29Yep.
- 1:30:30Agree.
- 1:30:32and we can vote with who we watch
- 1:30:35and who we don't watch i agree so
- 1:30:44but i'm i'm in this and i've had
- 1:30:46a channel since with like almost two
- 1:30:50thousand videos on it and i don't want
- 1:30:53i if that went away i would be
- 1:30:55pretty crushed sure so
- 1:31:01Because I know sometimes I get into like
- 1:31:03riff mode and I say things and I
- 1:31:04don't know if that's going to be
- 1:31:06triggering or not.
- 1:31:10But anyway.
- 1:31:12Well, with that,
- 1:31:13I want to wish Carolyn awesome luck this
- 1:31:16weekend.
- 1:31:16Safe travels.
- 1:31:18Go over there.
- 1:31:19Kick ass.
- 1:31:19Podium.
- 1:31:20Oh.
- 1:31:20I have to pack.
- 1:31:22I need to pack.
- 1:31:23Oh, that'd be me.
- 1:31:29No stress.
- 1:31:29That would be me too.
- 1:31:31I'd be packing an hour before I had
- 1:31:32to leave for the airport.
- 1:31:33I'll do it before bed right now.
- 1:31:34I'll do it quickly.
- 1:31:40I have ideas of what I'm packing.
- 1:31:41And hey, it's been a rough day,
- 1:31:42so I'm going to take some Thirdsy,
- 1:31:44get a good night's sleep,
- 1:31:45get some good rest and recovery,
- 1:31:48and you can get it for fifteen percent
- 1:31:49off.
