• 0:59
  you know what time it is sunday sunday
• 1:03
  sunday night crossfit talk we're back to
• 1:06
  the normal schedule oh i am i am
• 1:10
  so whooped from the weekend i kind of
• 1:12
  am too
• 1:14
  I mean,
• 1:14
  I did some extra stuff like around the
• 1:16
  house and stuff this weekend.
• 1:18
  Yesterday,
• 1:19
  I was bragging to you how fit I
• 1:20
  feel as I've been doing more workouts,
• 1:23
  losing some weight,
• 1:25
  and I moved a lot of dirt.
• 1:27
  I woke up so damn sore today because
• 1:33
  I was using muscles that I have not
• 1:35
  used in the gym.
• 1:38
  And I was trying to do it quickly.
• 1:39
  I didn't want to be out there all
• 1:41
  day moving this pile of dirt,
• 1:43
  so I was moving quick.
• 1:45
  And, yeah, I was hurting this morning.
• 1:49
  Oh, boy.
• 1:51
  Did you at least move a little bit
• 1:52
  today?
• 1:53
  I played drums for a while.
• 1:54
  Okay.
• 1:55
  All right.
• 1:55
  That'll help shake it out a little bit.
• 1:57
  Yeah, I've been working on one song.
• 2:00
  I want to get it, like,
• 2:00
  down to where I don't make any mistakes
• 2:02
  in it,
• 2:02
  and then I'm going to record it.
• 2:03
  Because, like, the...
• 2:07
  The Drumeo app,
• 2:08
  like they play the track behind it.
• 2:11
  So it's like a drumless track and then
• 2:13
  you're just the drummer in the song.
• 2:16
  And I was about ninety eight percent today
• 2:20
  on it.
• 2:21
  So, yeah, I'm excited.
• 2:25
  I didn't think I would get.
• 2:27
  I mean, I wanted to try this.
• 2:29
  I wanted to see if I could pull
• 2:30
  it off.
• 2:30
  Did not realize how excited I would get
• 2:32
  at learning this thing.
• 2:34
  You're addicted.
• 2:35
  I am so, so.
• 2:39
  So Tessa says the solo from In the
• 2:42
  Air Tonight.
• 2:43
  I think I could play that.
• 2:44
  That's actually pretty simple compared to
• 2:47
  a couple of the fills they've been
• 2:48
  teaching us the last couple of days.
• 2:53
  The only thing, the hardest part of that,
• 2:55
  Tessa,
• 2:55
  would be playing it slow enough because
• 2:57
  we're actually learning speed right now.
• 3:00
  So like to slow it down would be,
• 3:04
  tough, but someday,
• 3:07
  someday we're getting hate.
• 3:11
  I, you know, you know,
• 3:13
  what's tough is like when all of your
• 3:15
  friends have teams in the NFC North.
• 3:19
  Yeah.
• 3:20
  And so,
• 3:21
  but like you and I can sit here
• 3:24
  as winners, right?
• 3:27
  Yes.
• 3:28
  I didn't really feel like a winner
• 3:30
  tonight, but yes.
• 3:33
  But if you opened up the newspaper
• 3:35
  tomorrow and looked at the box score,
• 3:36
  it would say the Lions beat the Packers.
• 3:38
  You're right.
• 3:40
  Inch or a mile.
• 3:40
  Yeah.
• 3:40
  And it doesn't account for the stress they
• 3:46
  put you through.
• 3:47
  It doesn't account for the yelling you did
• 3:49
  at the TV.
• 3:52
  I yelled at the TV more than I
• 3:53
  did during Rogue.
• 3:55
  And I was yelling at my TV during
• 3:57
  Rogue.
• 3:58
  Oh, I was yelling hard this morning.
• 4:00
  I was, yeah, but yeah, this evening.
• 4:03
  Guess who woke up at six a.m.
• 4:04
  to watch coverage?
• 4:07
  You did?
• 4:08
  I did.
• 4:08
  Wow.
• 4:10
  I'm such an idiot.
• 4:12
  And then every time I wanted to take
• 4:14
  a nap,
• 4:14
  because the Bears didn't play today.
• 4:16
  So I had like, after Rogue was done,
• 4:18
  I had nothing that I really had to
• 4:21
  care about.
• 4:22
  And every time I would nod off in
• 4:24
  the recliner,
• 4:25
  Walter would jump up in my lap and
• 4:27
  start licking my face.
• 4:29
  Or Julie would yell at the TV because
• 4:32
  of the football game.
• 4:32
  Yeah.
• 4:34
  And I was like, son of a...
• 4:38
  I just need a little nap.
• 4:39
  Yeah, that sucks.
• 4:40
  I took a little nap after the first
• 4:42
  event and then woke back up and started
• 4:45
  the second event.
• 4:50
  So my morning was I woke up at
• 4:51
  six.
• 4:52
  I watched the first event.
• 4:54
  I taped the F one qualifying from last
• 4:57
  night because it was on while we were
• 4:58
  on the air.
• 4:59
  Watch that.
• 5:01
  Then watch two or the second and third
• 5:04
  event of the day.
• 5:05
  Watch some football.
• 5:06
  Watch the F one race.
• 5:09
  Watched your lions almost throw it away.
• 5:13
  And then came on here.
• 5:18
  What are these naps that you speak of?
• 5:22
  Honestly, Trane,
• 5:23
  I don't know the last time I've gotten
• 5:25
  a nap.
• 5:26
  Yeah, I'm not a napper.
• 5:30
  It is ridiculous.
• 5:31
  What?
• 5:33
  I don't ever wake up at six.
• 5:34
  True, true.
• 5:38
  I actually,
• 5:40
  one of my friends and a former coworker,
• 5:43
  he bought a CrossFit gym here in town.
• 5:47
  And he goes,
• 5:47
  you should start coming to my gym.
• 5:50
  And I was like,
• 5:52
  where he's located is down by campus.
• 5:54
  Okay.
• 5:55
  And so I'm up north of town.
• 5:58
  I'm like,
• 5:58
  the traffic to get from me to you
• 6:00
  is so bad.
• 6:02
  And he goes, well,
• 6:03
  just come at like five a.m.
• 6:04
  or six a.m.
• 6:08
  Who even does that?
• 6:13
  Exactly.
• 6:14
  Like,
• 6:14
  I can't even comprehend that thought.
• 6:16
  Isn't Polaris like five minutes from you?
• 6:19
  Yeah.
• 6:19
  Yeah.
• 6:21
  Yeah.
• 6:22
  And Chalk Dust is like ten minutes from
• 6:24
  me.
• 6:26
  And there's actually one even closer than
• 6:28
  that.
• 6:28
  I just don't think I'd ever join that
• 6:30
  one.
• 6:34
  Meg gets up at five, six a.m.
• 6:36
  to work out.
• 6:39
  I mean, props to those people.
• 6:41
  I just...
• 6:42
  She lives in D.C., though.
• 6:43
  You probably have to or you're sitting in
• 6:45
  traffic for hours.
• 6:50
  Four fifteen a.m.
• 6:53
  That's ridiculous.
• 6:56
  I used to coach five a.m.
• 6:58
  on Thursdays, just one day a week.
• 7:01
  I had to like prep myself for the
• 7:03
  whole week to get ready.
• 7:05
  Yeah.
• 7:07
  You.
• 7:08
  You must go to bed at like.
• 7:10
  eight p.m like how are you going up
• 7:12
  watching us right now go to bed yeah
• 7:19
  same and three forty five for work but
• 7:21
  you're a cop like you have weird hours
• 7:26
  yeah four thirty a.m class i didn't even
• 7:31
  know those existed no i thought that would
• 7:35
  be like an open gym
• 7:37
  that would be an open gym like i
• 7:39
  i question the even having the five a.m
• 7:41
  at times like maybe moving it to five
• 7:44
  thirty but there's like a couple people
• 7:46
  that just doesn't work for but the only
• 7:49
  reason my the gym i used to coach
• 7:51
  at at a five a.m is a company
• 7:54
  and their workers came and begged for that
• 7:56
  class and promised they would fill it and
• 8:00
  because of that the donor was like
• 8:02
  Okay,
• 8:03
  as long as you keep it at this
• 8:04
  level.
• 8:05
  Right.
• 8:06
  And sure enough,
• 8:07
  they were there every stinking morning.
• 8:10
  Like, twenty of them.
• 8:15
  That's awesome.
• 8:15
  So, it was awesome.
• 8:17
  What's crazy is I used to work,
• 8:19
  I used to be at work at six-thirty.
• 8:22
  Because I used to work smack downtown
• 8:25
  Columbus.
• 8:26
  So,
• 8:26
  I'd work at six-thirty and I would leave
• 8:28
  at three.
• 8:29
  And I would beat the traffic in and
• 8:30
  beat it out.
• 8:31
  Mm-hmm.
• 8:32
  And then COVID hit,
• 8:34
  and I started working from home where I
• 8:36
  just have to kind of wheel my chair
• 8:38
  over to the desk,
• 8:39
  and I got really lazy about sleeping in.
• 8:48
  Obviously still a net positive versus not
• 8:51
  working out,
• 8:51
  but it takes longer to recover,
• 8:53
  and old folks need their sleep.
• 8:56
  Amen.
• 8:57
  Plus, I've had twelve back procedures.
• 9:00
  Getting my back loosened up at four thirty
• 9:03
  in the morning is a job.
• 9:08
  I don't know how people can go in
• 9:10
  and lift heavy first thing in the morning.
• 9:13
  I would I would have to get up
• 9:15
  an hour and a half earlier.
• 9:17
  Yeah,
• 9:17
  I've I've done it a few times in
• 9:19
  my life,
• 9:20
  but then something screws up the schedule
• 9:22
  and to
• 9:23
  And to get back,
• 9:25
  it's like you create a habit,
• 9:27
  and it gets broken for some reason,
• 9:29
  and then getting back is just impossible.
• 9:34
  Trish, you are too much sometimes.
• 9:37
  We've missed you.
• 9:44
  I had to tell you something.
• 9:45
  I finished Neatly last night.
• 9:49
  Nice.
• 9:49
  I really, really, really enjoyed it.
• 9:52
  And I really like the main four.
• 10:00
  And it does appear,
• 10:01
  the way they kind of ended it,
• 10:03
  that it's going to be unlike Reacher where
• 10:06
  they are going to carry people over from
• 10:09
  season to season.
• 10:10
  I hope so.
• 10:12
  I like the two cats.
• 10:15
  I like the kid a lot.
• 10:17
  Yeah.
• 10:19
  I, the backstories on them are,
• 10:21
  were really good.
• 10:23
  The writer on that was really,
• 10:24
  really good.
• 10:26
  So I know Ed, listen,
• 10:32
  I joined Hiller fit and then he schedules
• 10:34
  the Hiller fit call during my show.
• 10:38
  What the hell?
• 10:38
  Yeah.
• 10:40
  Talk trash for us, Ed.
• 10:44
  Um, Hey, you guys are just crazy.
• 10:48
  so yeah that was my day and then
• 10:52
  uh so let's let's finish up rogue let's
• 10:56
  go let's not waste time tonight all right
• 10:59
  one if you guys don't know carolyn is
• 11:01
  not here hopefully she is sleeping well
• 11:05
  hopefully she has a nice safe play safe
• 11:07
  flight home but i i do want to
• 11:09
  say i'm so proud of her i am
• 11:10
  too like
• 11:14
  she's a master's athlete.
• 11:15
  She went in,
• 11:16
  in the qualifier and she looked like she
• 11:18
  belonged.
• 11:21
  And that, that's pretty cool.
• 11:23
  Cause that, those are big dogs you're,
• 11:24
  you're playing with at that point.
• 11:26
  She was holding her.
• 11:26
  Today was a rough day.
• 11:27
  I think we all kind of knew it
• 11:29
  would be, but she was first two days.
• 11:31
  She was looking great.
• 11:34
  Yeah.
• 11:35
  Took a seventh.
• 11:36
  Yeah.
• 11:37
  And you know, so she was competing.
• 11:41
  Um,
• 11:43
  I actually was getting giddy.
• 11:45
  I wish they featured her more,
• 11:47
  but you're probably not.
• 11:50
  The other people I...
• 11:52
  Yeah.
• 11:53
  The other people I have to shout out
• 11:54
  are Holly Dugan for all of the
• 11:56
  leaderboards, all of that stuff.
• 11:59
  And Ishmael East captures on Instagram
• 12:02
  with all the pictures from Rogue.
• 12:05
  Got him in over there.
• 12:06
  He took pictures for us.
• 12:08
  We got to share those on the Instagram.
• 12:12
  So shout out to both of them for
• 12:14
  doing that all weekend.
• 12:16
  Holly just is so fast at those.
• 12:19
  And doing Desert City Classic.
• 12:22
  Yep.
• 12:22
  I know.
• 12:23
  She's crushing it.
• 12:25
  Yeah.
• 12:26
  She was out a little bit.
• 12:28
  I'm so glad she's back.
• 12:31
  Yeah.
• 12:31
  Miss her dearly when she's gone.
• 12:33
  And the funniest thing is she texted me
• 12:38
  because whenever Holly posts,
• 12:40
  people make comments and then she freaks
• 12:42
  out that she did something wrong.
• 12:45
  And so she sends me a text because
• 12:47
  she put in the times of Rogue.
• 12:50
  And someone in Arizona tried to tell them
• 12:54
  that daylight savings doesn't apply to
• 12:56
  them and that they are... And she's like,
• 13:00
  what do I do?
• 13:00
  What do I do?
• 13:01
  I said, it's one person.
• 13:03
  Yeah.
• 13:04
  Like,
• 13:05
  you are not going to please everybody.
• 13:10
  So just you did fine.
• 13:13
  She did great.
• 13:15
  you you did yeah she did actually great
• 13:18
  and i used her times because it was
• 13:21
  just easier for me uh to know when
• 13:24
  everything was going to be on um so
• 13:31
  overall any overarching thoughts for today
• 13:38
  i can say the broadcast to me got
• 13:39
  worse
• 13:40
  worse that's what i was to say there
• 13:42
  were more cameras on the floor yes and
• 13:44
  there were the other two days way more
• 13:46
  solo shots what is going on with all
• 13:51
  of the panning like zoom pan like i
• 13:53
  felt like i was nauseous sick like if
• 13:57
  you have epilepsy don't watch rogue like i
• 14:00
  was gonna have a seizure yeah i didn't
• 14:07
  I guess I'm used to watching NYPD Blue
• 14:09
  back in the day.
• 14:12
  I'm like,
• 14:12
  can you hold it there for like,
• 14:14
  twenty seconds so I can get a gauge
• 14:16
  of who's where and what's going on?
• 14:18
  Nope, just move.
• 14:18
  We're moving.
• 14:19
  And we're moving.
• 14:19
  And we're zooming in.
• 14:20
  And we're back up.
• 14:21
  Don't know what the hell's going on.
• 14:23
  But like, doggone.
• 14:25
  I don't...
• 14:28
  I want to see the people finish that
• 14:30
  are finishing.
• 14:31
  Not that have finished thirty seconds ago.
• 14:33
  Correct.
• 14:35
  It just, it's so infuriating,
• 14:37
  and it's so many solo shots.
• 14:40
  Yeah, kudos to Lightfoot.
• 14:42
  He was, like, the only one that was,
• 14:43
  like, he could tell it was on him,
• 14:45
  and he'd, like,
• 14:45
  get it back out on him.
• 14:46
  Yeah, there was very, like,
• 14:50
  only a couple races, really,
• 14:52
  and you just keep missing it.
• 14:54
  Like, somebody, I, the whole finale was,
• 15:00
  you didn't even get to see the bag
• 15:01
  toss.
• 15:02
  Not once did I see Colton try a
• 15:04
  bag toss.
• 15:06
  They were showing one person jog the
• 15:08
  transition rather than show the cool bag
• 15:11
  toss thing you put in there.
• 15:14
  I was like, they're not sprinting.
• 15:17
  They're just adjusting their belt.
• 15:19
  Do I really need to see this?
• 15:20
  I don't need to see them on the
• 15:21
  bikes.
• 15:21
  That was the last thing that we needed
• 15:23
  to watch.
• 15:27
  That whole workout was,
• 15:28
  could you get the bag over the bar?
• 15:30
  Correct.
• 15:31
  And that's what I wanted to see.
• 15:33
  And we missed it.
• 15:37
  Um,
• 15:38
  they treat the event like it's over after
• 15:40
  the first to finish.
• 15:41
  I'd even,
• 15:42
  I'd even argue the first person finished.
• 15:44
  Yeah.
• 15:46
  And this is not like,
• 15:47
  this is not like you have bad athletes
• 15:51
  in this competition.
• 15:53
  Every single one of the people in here
• 15:56
  are known.
• 15:59
  We want to see them all.
• 16:01
  It's a showcase of,
• 16:05
  That's what Rogue keeps telling us.
• 16:07
  It's by invitation only.
• 16:09
  It is our invitational.
• 16:11
  It is a showcase.
• 16:12
  Then showcase the people.
• 16:18
  Oh, that's right.
• 16:19
  The last rep.
• 16:20
  Yep.
• 16:20
  The last rep.
• 16:20
  Finally.
• 16:21
  No one else was working.
• 16:22
  Otherwise,
• 16:23
  we would have seen someone on the bike,
• 16:24
  and we would have missed him.
• 16:30
  Yeah.
• 16:32
  That was really,
• 16:33
  really starting to infuriate me today.
• 16:36
  Yeah.
• 16:38
  I will say this.
• 16:39
  I don't know if Adrian Conway listens to
• 16:41
  our show,
• 16:42
  but he did not rhyme his keys to
• 16:44
  the races today.
• 16:47
  So, because I was watching for it.
• 16:53
  Watching.
• 16:53
  Watching to see if we're going to get
• 16:54
  a little rap bar.
• 16:55
  Yeah.
• 16:55
  Commentary was all right.
• 17:02
  It just did camera work.
• 17:03
  I was, I was struggling with.
• 17:07
  Yeah.
• 17:07
  The commentary, I think Adrian solid.
• 17:10
  Yeah.
• 17:11
  Right.
• 17:12
  I'm always going to want other people to
• 17:14
  get opportunities.
• 17:18
  Because I think you should never stick
• 17:19
  with the same person.
• 17:20
  There's a reason why that like the NFL
• 17:23
  rotates analysts through the season and
• 17:25
  different teams.
• 17:27
  So you get like different voices and,
• 17:30
  Um, with the CrossFit world,
• 17:32
  you get the same and it's,
• 17:34
  and I am in no way saying they
• 17:36
  are bad.
• 17:37
  I'm no way saying that I don't like
• 17:39
  them.
• 17:40
  I just want,
• 17:41
  I want other people to get opportunities.
• 17:45
  I thought Pat Vellner was so refreshing.
• 17:48
  I like hearing Pat.
• 17:51
  When I've heard Brent do commentary,
• 17:53
  I think it's refreshing because
• 17:56
  I think giving some of these other people
• 17:57
  opportunities, I have said forever,
• 18:00
  I think Carolyn would be awesome as a
• 18:02
  commentator.
• 18:02
  It would be great.
• 18:06
  Because you and I both know she is
• 18:09
  a CrossFit nerd.
• 18:11
  She watches everything.
• 18:16
  It isn't... I thought I was a nerd.
• 18:18
  She goes, like, to another level.
• 18:23
  Um...
• 18:27
  Well, we're going to talk about that,
• 18:29
  Joseph, for sure.
• 18:32
  So you want to go through the events?
• 18:35
  Sure.
• 18:36
  So we started the day with the rope
• 18:39
  climb, the overhead squat,
• 18:43
  and the deadlift.
• 18:48
  Correct.
• 18:49
  The deadlift was insignificant?
• 18:52
  Yeah,
• 18:52
  the deadlift was insignificant for sure.
• 18:58
  To me, it was as expected.
• 19:02
  Fine for the guys.
• 19:03
  Decent enough race.
• 19:07
  I did not like the programming for the
• 19:09
  women.
• 19:11
  Either make it longer or make it a
• 19:13
  little bit lighter.
• 19:14
  You got over half the field not finishing.
• 19:17
  You really made the deadlift insignificant
• 19:19
  because over the half the field didn't
• 19:20
  even do the last bar.
• 19:22
  So it really didn't matter.
• 19:25
  I did not like
• 19:29
  And maybe it was just the floor for
• 19:31
  me.
• 19:32
  I don't know,
• 19:32
  but I did not like that overhead squat
• 19:34
  from the rack and all those racks out
• 19:36
  there.
• 19:36
  And maybe that's why, because right off,
• 19:39
  like I could tell I was going to
• 19:41
  be annoyed with the camera work today,
• 19:44
  right off the bat with that event.
• 19:46
  And I don't know if it's because those
• 19:47
  racks were in the way and they felt
• 19:48
  like they needed to get around things.
• 19:50
  And that's why it was always moving and
• 19:51
  panning.
• 19:55
  If you need to get a rack out,
• 19:57
  it's too heavy.
• 19:59
  Of course, I love the rack.
• 20:03
  I think that contributed to the poor
• 20:05
  camera work, quite honestly.
• 20:10
  So, okay.
• 20:11
  A lot of people didn't.
• 20:12
  There was like, what?
• 20:14
  A third of the field didn't finish.
• 20:18
  Eleven?
• 20:20
  Really?
• 20:20
  I think only nine women finished that.
• 20:30
  I'm on the men.
• 20:32
  Or maybe eleven finished and nine didn't.
• 20:43
  Nine finished.
• 20:44
  You're right.
• 20:45
  Yeah, so over half did not finish.
• 20:47
  That's not good.
• 20:49
  And every man finished.
• 20:50
  It's what I expected.
• 20:54
  But what I wanted to add to this
• 20:56
  and why I like the rest.
• 21:00
  I like a heavier barbell,
• 21:01
  so I know I'm always going to disagree
• 21:03
  with you on that.
• 21:04
  But fourteen of the women finished the
• 21:06
  overhead squats.
• 21:14
  I'm just saying they did and.
• 21:19
  And I like the rack because it just
• 21:21
  took they had cleaned a lot this weekend.
• 21:25
  I just didn't think they needed to clean
• 21:27
  it or snatch it up.
• 21:29
  I just liked that it was just press
• 21:30
  it.
• 21:30
  And I thought it helped show the beauty
• 21:35
  of what a snatch balance is.
• 21:37
  I enjoyed seeing that out of Tudor and
• 21:38
  Dee.
• 21:39
  Yeah,
• 21:40
  which is something that I learned when I
• 21:43
  first went to a gym back in the
• 21:45
  old days.
• 21:46
  And you don't see that much anymore.
• 21:49
  And I really enjoyed the beauty of that
• 21:51
  because they both made it look so good.
• 21:53
  Mm-hmm.
• 21:54
  Um, so I, I like the rack there.
• 21:58
  You have a,
• 21:59
  so that's not an excuse for the camera
• 22:01
  work.
• 22:02
  You have a cable cam.
• 22:02
  Like they can go above and get all
• 22:06
  the shots you need.
• 22:08
  I don't,
• 22:08
  I don't know what the hell happened there.
• 22:14
  So it was either an overhead squat workout
• 22:18
  or a rope climb workout,
• 22:19
  depending on what your deficiency was.
• 22:25
  Cause like Colton killed the overhead
• 22:26
  squat.
• 22:27
  The rope climbs killed him.
• 22:28
  Sure.
• 22:32
  So in that event on the women's side,
• 22:34
  Laura one saw her coming.
• 22:38
  She was like a freight train today.
• 22:41
  Uh, Gabby took second,
• 22:42
  Olivia Kirstetter took third after she
• 22:46
  appealed that she had a men's bar and
• 22:48
  only got six seconds back or something
• 22:50
  like that.
• 22:51
  That's ridiculous.
• 22:55
  Um,
• 22:55
  Lucy Campbell took fourth and Kyra
• 22:57
  Milligan took fifth.
• 23:00
  Did you have any surprises in this one
• 23:02
  or?
• 23:02
  I would say Lucy fourth placement
• 23:06
  surprised me and Rolf really surprised me.
• 23:09
  I would have thought Rolf would have been
• 23:10
  in the bottom five.
• 23:12
  I like,
• 23:13
  I would have thought Carolyn and I would
• 23:14
  have thought it was heavy enough that it
• 23:16
  would have hurt Carolyn and Emily and
• 23:20
  probably Alex Kazan with the overhead.
• 23:22
  Um,
• 23:24
  but Carolyn impressed me on this workout
• 23:26
  too.
• 23:28
  Yeah.
• 23:29
  All of them finished the overhead squats.
• 23:31
  Yeah.
• 23:32
  Uh,
• 23:32
  they just couldn't get to the deadlift.
• 23:34
  Yeah.
• 23:35
  And if you know,
• 23:35
  if Carolyn gets to the deadlift,
• 23:36
  she's getting them right.
• 23:38
  That,
• 23:38
  that was the only frustrating thing for
• 23:40
  me.
• 23:44
  Um, how did they get a male bar?
• 23:45
  Someone on the crew had to have messed
• 23:47
  up.
• 23:56
  uh says emma tall she has that that
• 23:59
  bum shoulder that just so that's why i
• 24:02
  didn't i picked her to win so like
• 24:07
  i was way off um she she she
• 24:12
  didn't have the weekend i thought she
• 24:13
  would i don't even know if that was
• 24:17
  the shoulder though i don't know i don't
• 24:19
  either um
• 24:22
  I thought Jen Mira would be a little
• 24:24
  bit better in this because she's strong.
• 24:27
  And honestly,
• 24:28
  it seemed like it was the overhead squat
• 24:29
  that was...
• 24:30
  Maybe I don't know enough about her.
• 24:32
  Maybe she doesn't have a great overhead
• 24:35
  position.
• 24:35
  I'm not sure.
• 24:38
  And I would think it'd be better for
• 24:40
  Danielle.
• 24:41
  Like, I know she's not the strongest,
• 24:42
  but her overhead is incredible.
• 24:45
  I don't know if she just was...
• 24:48
  kind of over the comp at this point
• 24:49
  and whatever annoyed with everything and
• 24:53
  just kind of coasting through it but yeah
• 24:58
  that would be my other surprise on the
• 25:00
  women's side yeah um on the men's side
• 25:09
  uh
• 25:10
  I wish this leaderboard was easier to use.
• 25:12
  Gee wins.
• 25:14
  No shock.
• 25:15
  Nate Ackerman,
• 25:16
  after all the talk yesterday,
• 25:19
  puts up a blistering time and he won.
• 25:21
  And the only person to beat him was
• 25:23
  Gee.
• 25:23
  Yeah.
• 25:25
  And he takes second in the event.
• 25:28
  Tudor takes third.
• 25:30
  Dallin Pepper takes fourth.
• 25:31
  James Sprague takes fifth.
• 25:38
  Seeing the way Tudor attacked this,
• 25:41
  I was so impressed.
• 25:46
  I was screaming at the TV for Tudor
• 25:47
  today.
• 25:48
  Me too.
• 25:52
  And it was such a great start for
• 25:54
  him.
• 25:55
  I just wish he would have transitioned a
• 25:58
  little faster.
• 26:02
  Yeah, he kind of lost the gusto.
• 26:03
  I think he could tell he was coming
• 26:05
  and it...
• 26:07
  It was what it was.
• 26:08
  But I think Tudor cycled faster.
• 26:11
  Gee actually jogged the transitions.
• 26:14
  I don't know that last,
• 26:15
  which is not what I would have.
• 26:17
  I would have predicted.
• 26:20
  Yeah.
• 26:21
  I mean,
• 26:22
  the thing is when it's light for you,
• 26:25
  it is, it's, it's not,
• 26:29
  that's light for Tudor too.
• 26:35
  But anyway,
• 26:40
  I was really impressed with that.
• 26:41
  Nate,
• 26:41
  I was screaming for because he just was
• 26:45
  like a man on a mission.
• 26:46
  Like something clicked overnight.
• 26:48
  He shows up.
• 26:49
  Maybe it's just these are his wheelhouse.
• 26:51
  I think exactly right.
• 26:54
  We know he's good at rope climbs,
• 26:56
  and we know he's strong.
• 26:59
  This was the workout for him to lay
• 27:02
  the hammer down and show what he's good
• 27:04
  at.
• 27:05
  I still have a lot of questions within
• 27:07
  his overall fitness.
• 27:10
  We compared him to Anika Greer yesterday,
• 27:12
  and I think that that still fits because
• 27:15
  Anika has home runs and she still has
• 27:17
  things that.
• 27:20
  But he's young, like real young,
• 27:24
  and we'll see.
• 27:28
  Man,
• 27:29
  Dallin and James are just so consistent
• 27:31
  this weekend.
• 27:36
  It looks good.
• 27:37
  Feeling that third final deadlift was
• 27:40
  surprising to me.
• 27:40
  Yeah.
• 27:46
  Tudor has a better mental game now?
• 27:49
  I think so.
• 27:50
  I think he has more confidence in himself
• 27:52
  in other aspects.
• 27:54
  When he was interviewed and said that he
• 27:55
  wanted to show he's a more well-rounded
• 27:57
  athlete now, that was a big...
• 28:01
  that was a big admission for him or
• 28:03
  big statement for him.
• 28:06
  Um,
• 28:07
  because he's always been the guy that can
• 28:08
  lift all the weights.
• 28:09
  And he,
• 28:10
  I think when you interviewed him at the
• 28:12
  West coast semifinal, he talked about,
• 28:14
  he just wanted to go out and lift
• 28:16
  the most weight and do put on a
• 28:18
  show.
• 28:18
  And so it was, it,
• 28:22
  there definitely has been some mental
• 28:24
  changes for sure.
• 28:35
  So then we have a Venate.
• 28:37
  That is your pyramid chipper thingy.
• 28:41
  Donatar.
• 28:43
  What's that?
• 28:44
  Donatar.
• 28:46
  Yeah.
• 28:46
  I don't remember the names.
• 28:51
  So that started,
• 28:53
  that was the handstand walk, double under,
• 28:57
  GHD, box jump, and then back down.
• 29:02
  Yeah.
• 29:03
  Um, any thoughts on this one?
• 29:07
  Really liked the workout.
• 29:10
  Um, I think for the most part,
• 29:15
  I think it played out exactly what,
• 29:17
  like you would think it was a burpee
• 29:19
  box jump workout for the most part.
• 29:22
  Clearly tutors double under speed and
• 29:28
  handstand walk speed.
• 29:30
  was the only reason he was able to
• 29:32
  take that.
• 29:33
  Um, but.
• 29:35
  Can I argue with you on that?
• 29:39
  The only reason I'm arguing with you is
• 29:40
  because old tutor would not have hung with
• 29:43
  James on the box burpee box jump overs.
• 29:46
  Yeah, he would not have.
• 29:48
  And so because he elevated that piece,
• 29:51
  it gave him the opportunity on the other
• 29:53
  two for sure.
• 29:55
  Like he didn't beat James on the burpee
• 29:57
  box jump over,
• 29:58
  but he didn't let James break the string.
• 30:04
  I for sure.
• 30:06
  So again,
• 30:07
  this is another workout for Nate that
• 30:09
  like,
• 30:09
  we know he's good at handstand walk and
• 30:11
  double unders.
• 30:13
  I thought for sure he was going to
• 30:15
  implode on the burpee box jump over.
• 30:16
  I'm like, I mean,
• 30:18
  this is where he doesn't have the fitness.
• 30:20
  He's going to go out.
• 30:21
  He went out hot.
• 30:22
  He's going to fall apart.
• 30:25
  He had a very good cadence on those
• 30:27
  burpee box jump overs.
• 30:28
  I was very impressed with him on this
• 30:30
  workout.
• 30:34
  Yeah,
• 30:34
  so Tudor wins it by literally the
• 30:39
  handstand walk speed and double under
• 30:41
  speed.
• 30:42
  And you're right, Shannon.
• 30:45
  Tudor barely leaves the floor in his dubs.
• 30:47
  It's crazy.
• 30:49
  And that means that the room for error
• 30:51
  is so small.
• 30:56
  Um,
• 30:56
  so then we have James Sprague in second,
• 30:58
  Jay Crouch in third,
• 30:59
  Dallin Pepper in fourth.
• 31:01
  Those names sound familiar to me this
• 31:03
  weekend.
• 31:05
  Uh, and then Nate Ackerman took fourth,
• 31:06
  fifth.
• 31:07
  Sorry.
• 31:09
  Yep.
• 31:09
  Those two events,
• 31:10
  Nate went from dead last to thirteenth.
• 31:16
  That's a hell of a joke.
• 31:17
  Yeah.
• 31:17
  Good day for him.
• 31:22
  Then we go over to the women's side.
• 31:25
  I think I think I was texting with
• 31:28
  Joseph today on this.
• 31:30
  It was Corey.
• 31:31
  It was Corey.
• 31:32
  And you always forget the savage that Lucy
• 31:35
  Campbell is on these type of workouts.
• 31:38
  I didn't.
• 31:38
  This is where I expected her to.
• 31:41
  I know she's great at burpee back jump
• 31:44
  over.
• 31:45
  Ariel,
• 31:45
  another one that's great at burpee back
• 31:47
  jump over.
• 31:49
  When I was kind of making my picks
• 31:50
  for this, I'm like, well,
• 31:51
  who's going to hurt for fifty straight
• 31:53
  burpee back jump overs?
• 31:57
  I thought Paige looked like maybe she's
• 31:59
  feeling better today.
• 32:01
  Yeah.
• 32:05
  Because I actually did not expect her to
• 32:06
  do very well at this.
• 32:07
  I was like, oh,
• 32:08
  she's probably going to move kind of slow
• 32:09
  on this.
• 32:09
  And she did pretty good.
• 32:12
  I think the biggest surprise for me,
• 32:14
  and it's going to sound weird,
• 32:15
  is Daniel Brandon.
• 32:17
  Yeah, she can handstand walk,
• 32:20
  but she's out of it at this point.
• 32:24
  For her to mentally still give it a
• 32:25
  go on this one shocked me.
• 32:29
  Yeah.
• 32:29
  Yeah.
• 32:31
  I think she just knows that that's her
• 32:33
  one thing,
• 32:34
  and she's still got to take it,
• 32:36
  or she might as well hang up the
• 32:37
  dang sport.
• 32:39
  Otherwise, she does seem checked out.
• 32:43
  Yeah.
• 32:46
  So on this one, Lucy took first.
• 32:49
  Emma Lawson takes second.
• 32:52
  I thought Emma looked really good today.
• 32:54
  She did.
• 32:55
  Ariel Lowen took third.
• 32:57
  Daniel Brandon took fourth.
• 32:59
  And Laura Horvat took fifth.
• 33:05
  Gabby looked good.
• 33:05
  She kind of did what she needed to
• 33:07
  do.
• 33:11
  Uh, where was Gabby on this one?
• 33:12
  Wasn't she like right behind?
• 33:15
  Uh, eighth.
• 33:15
  Okay.
• 33:18
  Yeah.
• 33:18
  Like two, three, like she kept,
• 33:20
  she kept right next to Laura and she
• 33:22
  stayed where she needed to stay
• 33:24
  essentially.
• 33:25
  I think maybe she got like out handstand
• 33:27
  walk there at the end.
• 33:33
  I'm debating on whether I want to bring
• 33:34
  this up because I hate it.
• 33:38
  Their talk?
• 33:39
  Yeah.
• 33:41
  So I got a lot of reaction from
• 33:45
  people.
• 33:46
  I think it was after the first event.
• 33:48
  They did the interview with the two of
• 33:49
  them, Gabby and Laura.
• 33:56
  And then Laura saying that they've been
• 33:58
  best friends and Gabby not looking like
• 34:02
  they are.
• 34:03
  I do we really do we really care?
• 34:12
  I mean, I don't know.
• 34:13
  I think a lot of people were like,
• 34:14
  Oh, what's going on here?
• 34:17
  It's just another talking point.
• 34:19
  Little
• 34:24
  I just, okay, I don't know.
• 34:27
  I love shit talking.
• 34:28
  I love when people shit talk on the
• 34:30
  floor.
• 34:31
  I've said it earlier this weekend.
• 34:32
  I love when Laura says she's going to
• 34:35
  eat, all that kind of stuff.
• 34:39
  They haven't even competed against each
• 34:41
  other for years because of Gabby's injury
• 34:45
  and Laura only doing the other stuff and
• 34:47
  not the game season.
• 34:51
  None of it matters to me at this
• 34:53
  point because... I don't know.
• 34:57
  It's hard for me to express it in
• 34:59
  words, but it just doesn't matter to me.
• 35:03
  Because it's not relevant to the sport
• 35:06
  anymore.
• 35:10
  I mean, to me,
• 35:13
  it seemed like Laura was...
• 35:18
  I mean,
• 35:19
  obviously not apologizing to any sort for
• 35:21
  anything, but like,
• 35:22
  I like what you're saying there though,
• 35:24
  because I felt like it was her way
• 35:26
  of trying to break the ice.
• 35:28
  I do.
• 35:29
  She acknowledged that she, I mean,
• 35:32
  she trained with Gabby.
• 35:33
  That's what she was saying.
• 35:33
  I trained with Gabby all these years.
• 35:35
  I know what Gabby's good at.
• 35:36
  Like,
• 35:36
  I knew this was going to be a
• 35:37
  great event for her.
• 35:38
  Like you're acknowledging someone's
• 35:40
  strengths,
• 35:41
  not trying to talk down on them at
• 35:43
  all.
• 35:43
  Not trying to say you're like,
• 35:45
  I thought it was,
• 35:48
  A nice, I don't know,
• 35:50
  a little bit of nice icebreaker.
• 35:52
  And I see Joseph and Shanna saying that
• 35:54
  it's phony.
• 35:55
  I don't think it was phony.
• 35:56
  I don't think it was either.
• 35:58
  Your perception of who Laura is in your
• 36:01
  mind is going to determine whether you
• 36:03
  think it was phony or not.
• 36:04
  We talked about it yesterday.
• 36:05
  You either love her or you hate her.
• 36:08
  If you're a hater,
• 36:09
  you're thinking it's phony.
• 36:10
  If you love her,
• 36:11
  you think she was trying to do something.
• 36:13
  I think she was trying to break the
• 36:15
  ice.
• 36:15
  I think she regrets not having her as
• 36:18
  a friend anymore.
• 36:19
  And I may be reading too much into
• 36:21
  this,
• 36:21
  and this is getting way much more airtime
• 36:23
  than I ever wanted it to be,
• 36:25
  but I felt like that's what she was
• 36:27
  trying to do,
• 36:29
  and Gabby was having none of it.
• 36:30
  Yeah,
• 36:31
  she did not seem to acknowledge any of
• 36:35
  it.
• 36:37
  Cause she was giving her flowers.
• 36:40
  I agree.
• 36:40
  That's what I felt like.
• 36:42
  And Laura doesn't do that.
• 36:49
  Yeah.
• 36:52
  So I didn't take it as present tense.
• 36:55
  I didn't either.
• 36:56
  I, that may be an English thing.
• 36:57
  I mean, I know Laura's good in English,
• 36:59
  but like she may have,
• 37:03
  missed the word or how she was trying
• 37:05
  to phrase it may have just come off
• 37:07
  just a hair wrong.
• 37:12
  Now,
• 37:12
  I think you're taking it too far to
• 37:14
  the other extreme, Larry.
• 37:16
  I just think the last two events weren't
• 37:18
  Gabby's jam.
• 37:21
  Well,
• 37:22
  I think she hit the bar a couple
• 37:25
  times and that just kind of...
• 37:27
  She also didn't seem to go out like
• 37:29
  she was going to sprint the bike or
• 37:30
  anything.
• 37:30
  She was kind of playing it safe.
• 37:33
  hanging in there i don't i don't know
• 37:41
  yes gabby was so that's the thing gabby
• 37:43
  was the one that walked over and
• 37:46
  high-fived laura laura was sitting down
• 37:48
  gabby finished and high-fived her so i
• 37:50
  quite honestly i feel like gabby was the
• 37:52
  one that broke the ice and then laura
• 37:55
  okay
• 38:02
  Uh,
• 38:03
  train apparently thinks I'm a Stuart
• 38:04
  Smalley and I just look in the mirror
• 38:08
  and dog on it.
• 38:09
  I'm worth it.
• 38:14
  Uh, uh, uh, I was screaming,
• 38:19
  go on the bike.
• 38:20
  I was too.
• 38:23
  See, I'm, I'm not a Gabby fan.
• 38:25
  I don't know why I'm not a Gabby
• 38:26
  fan.
• 38:26
  She just doesn't speak to me.
• 38:30
  Um,
• 38:31
  I try to be objective and look at
• 38:33
  her talent when I'm doing analysis of her.
• 38:38
  But she's just not someone I root for.
• 38:40
  And I don't know why.
• 38:42
  I don't.
• 38:44
  I was never a Gabby fan, really.
• 38:48
  I think at this point,
• 38:49
  probably I feel like she's the underdog
• 38:51
  coming back.
• 38:51
  And that's always like a cool story.
• 38:53
  So I'm interested to see where she comes
• 38:55
  from this.
• 38:56
  But I would agree with you the way
• 38:59
  I feel about Laura.
• 39:00
  is how I felt about Gabby while she
• 39:02
  was competing.
• 39:03
  I liked that Gabby looked like she was
• 39:05
  starting to take her down a little just
• 39:07
  because I wanted somebody to...
• 39:10
  I wanted somebody to... I mean,
• 39:12
  I always want somebody to try to give
• 39:14
  Tia a push too, right?
• 39:16
  Everyone wants that.
• 39:17
  If somebody's winning,
• 39:18
  you want somebody to give them a
• 39:19
  challenge.
• 39:20
  So I liked Gabby in that regard at
• 39:22
  that moment.
• 39:25
  But I am very curious to watch her
• 39:27
  come back from this.
• 39:28
  I thought she looked good this morning.
• 39:32
  I'm not a Gabby fan after all she's
• 39:33
  been through and come back from.
• 39:35
  I, we,
• 39:39
  we did talk about a little bit this
• 39:40
  weekend and I,
• 39:41
  it was after Jamie left the show on
• 39:43
  Friday because I've interviewed almost all
• 39:48
  of these athletes.
• 39:49
  I have met them all in person.
• 39:52
  I have talked to them.
• 39:54
  I don't know who I'm going to root
• 39:55
  for until the event starts.
• 39:59
  I do have a couple that I'm better
• 40:02
  friends with than others,
• 40:05
  but for the most part,
• 40:06
  I don't really know where my allegiance is
• 40:09
  going to lie until the weekend starts
• 40:11
  playing out.
• 40:14
  I was asking G if she had the
• 40:17
  same thing after interviewing all the
• 40:18
  athletes because I can't explain it.
• 40:22
  I don't know why it happens.
• 40:24
  It just...
• 40:28
  It's just weird.
• 40:29
  I don't know.
• 40:35
  Uh, Colleen said,
• 40:38
  Gabby got to finish the story from two
• 40:40
  years ago.
• 40:41
  Okay.
• 40:44
  That story doesn't speak to me though.
• 40:45
  And it,
• 40:46
  but it doesn't mean it doesn't speak to
• 40:47
  other people.
• 40:49
  So I get it.
• 40:49
  I, and she is very popular.
• 40:52
  Trust me on this show.
• 40:54
  I get a lot of Gabby love from
• 40:55
  the chat.
• 40:59
  I feel like Laura is very popular outside
• 41:01
  of the U S. Oh, I agree.
• 41:06
  I, Laura has a Red Bull deal.
• 41:09
  She has an Adidas deal.
• 41:11
  She is popular just because you don't like
• 41:15
  her.
• 41:16
  Doesn't mean she's not popular.
• 41:19
  Just say, and I'm not talking,
• 41:21
  I'm saying the general you, not you,
• 41:23
  Jamie.
• 41:27
  Um,
• 41:35
  I wanted to see Gabby shine because she
• 41:37
  was a force of nature before injury.
• 41:39
  Was she?
• 41:43
  People were really praising her like she
• 41:44
  was going to be the next.
• 41:47
  But she hadn't.
• 41:48
  I know.
• 41:54
  I will give you this.
• 41:54
  She was on her way up when it
• 41:58
  happened.
• 41:59
  Correct.
• 42:00
  She was definitely making a move at that
• 42:02
  point.
• 42:05
  But Heinrich Heipleinen,
• 42:06
  who injured his at the exact same time,
• 42:08
  doesn't get the love she does.
• 42:19
  Nope.
• 42:19
  Laura seems like a nasty person.
• 42:24
  I don't know that we can tell that
• 42:25
  from...
• 42:27
  I have met her in person a couple
• 42:28
  of times.
• 42:29
  I've talked to her.
• 42:31
  She's very nice in person.
• 42:32
  She is very good with the spectators at
• 42:34
  events.
• 42:36
  She seems very genuine in that,
• 42:39
  but she comes across as a very confident,
• 42:44
  hard ass woman when she's on the mic
• 42:49
  and she doesn't put up with anybody.
• 42:50
  Yeah.
• 42:55
  ironica loves her and ronica stopped her
• 42:59
  at wfp like like asked when she finished
• 43:04
  the run and was going in to get
• 43:06
  stuff and i'm like that's a terrible time
• 43:08
  to stop somebody run and she stopped she
• 43:10
  was like if you'll walk with me kind
• 43:11
  of like me with pat vitt velner like
• 43:13
  i had to like run with them and
• 43:16
  laura was willing
• 43:25
  Meeting and passing isn't always super
• 43:26
  accurate.
• 43:27
  It isn't.
• 43:30
  But you have to admit,
• 43:31
  when you're back in the warm-up area and
• 43:34
  they're getting ready for events,
• 43:36
  a lot of times they're showing their true
• 43:38
  selves.
• 43:38
  And there are people there that I can
• 43:40
  tell you are not nice people.
• 43:42
  Right.
• 43:45
  I mean,
• 43:46
  we've had people say no to us.
• 43:48
  And there is no judgment when people don't
• 43:50
  want to be interviewed after they're doing
• 43:52
  stuff.
• 43:53
  I totally get it.
• 43:56
  But like that,
• 43:57
  I can tell you right now,
• 43:58
  that's not Ariel.
• 43:59
  And I think everyone knows that.
• 44:02
  And I've had people say no to me.
• 44:07
  And I don't think I've ever had Laura
• 44:08
  say no to me.
• 44:09
  And like I said,
• 44:09
  she was very kind to Veronica when she
• 44:12
  had every right to move on with what
• 44:14
  she was doing.
• 44:17
  Yeah.
• 44:17
  I would say ninety ninety five percent of
• 44:19
  them are really nice and are very
• 44:21
  accommodating.
• 44:24
  But it is what it is.
• 44:27
  Plus there was a quarter of a million
• 44:30
  dollars on the line at this thing.
• 44:32
  Like when I, when I played sports,
• 44:36
  I was probably not great to be around
• 44:38
  during the event.
• 44:41
  I mean, people always say that about me.
• 44:43
  Like I,
• 44:45
  I know I have resting bitch face.
• 44:48
  I, and I'm very like, I'm just,
• 44:52
  I don't know.
• 44:53
  I'm not a talkative person.
• 44:56
  I've gotten better, I guess,
• 44:57
  over the years.
• 44:59
  So I don't know if it's because we're
• 45:00
  friends, but you're fine to me at events.
• 45:02
  But I know, depending on your finish,
• 45:06
  how I need to approach you after.
• 45:15
  But you do have resting bitch face.
• 45:16
  I know I do.
• 45:17
  I will say that.
• 45:18
  I am aware.
• 45:20
  I mean, yeah, people are always like,
• 45:21
  fix your face.
• 45:22
  This is my face.
• 45:23
  I'm sorry.
• 45:27
  And during workouts, it's horrible.
• 45:29
  Like trying to get a picture of you
• 45:31
  during a workout is nearly impossible.
• 45:36
  I'm like freaking, what is it?
• 45:41
  Fabian Ehrman.
• 45:44
  That dude's face in every workout.
• 45:45
  I'm like, Jesus,
• 45:46
  is that what I look like?
• 45:51
  He's like wild.
• 45:52
  It's really bad.
• 45:53
  His is really bad,
• 45:54
  but in a different way.
• 45:55
  Yes.
• 46:00
  My daughter is the same way, Jamie.
• 46:02
  I have to walk six feet behind her?
• 46:05
  Probably.
• 46:06
  All right,
• 46:11
  so then we finish up with the Highland
• 46:12
  Sprint, the one name I did remember.
• 46:15
  Yeah.
• 46:19
  Which was Echo Bike, GHD?
• 46:22
  No.
• 46:23
  No.
• 46:23
  Zerker Lunge.
• 46:26
  Oh, yeah, Zerker Lunge.
• 46:31
  So echo bike,
• 46:32
  Zerker lunge bag over the bar.
• 46:36
  Three, two, one.
• 46:38
  Yeah.
• 46:42
  I love the bag over the bar.
• 46:44
  You did.
• 46:45
  I did because I like car accidents.
• 46:49
  Okay.
• 46:51
  Right.
• 46:53
  I did not care for the Zerker's lunch.
• 47:00
  Tomato, tomato.
• 47:04
  I thought it looked unathletic.
• 47:06
  It looked weird.
• 47:08
  It's not a good representation of the
• 47:09
  athleticism of these athletes.
• 47:16
  It may be a great test.
• 47:18
  It just didn't look that great on screen.
• 47:20
  Yeah.
• 47:23
  And if you're going to have such a
• 47:26
  risk-reward thing at the end of the round,
• 47:32
  maybe make them look a little bit better
• 47:34
  before they get there.
• 47:37
  Maybe show some more athleticism before
• 47:41
  that.
• 47:43
  Yeah.
• 47:45
  I don't know.
• 47:45
  This was a, I,
• 47:48
  this workout was just not it for me.
• 47:52
  Not a finale in my opinion.
• 47:56
  Could have been the last workout
• 47:57
  yesterday.
• 47:59
  Yeah, I will give you that.
• 48:02
  I don't think it was great for a
• 48:03
  last workout.
• 48:05
  Where was the sprint?
• 48:11
  Like, honestly,
• 48:14
  not a single woman sprinted.
• 48:18
  And they're never going to.
• 48:19
  Twenty kills on the bike is
• 48:23
  very different than twenty five kills for
• 48:25
  a man.
• 48:25
  And even the men didn't like Tudor was
• 48:28
  coasting.
• 48:30
  Like.
• 48:33
  If anything, I was like,
• 48:34
  there might be a race between your top
• 48:36
  four men and you kind of knew Jay
• 48:39
  was probably going to be out of it
• 48:41
  because of the bike.
• 48:41
  So I was like, this is not exciting.
• 48:44
  This is not a finale.
• 48:46
  So Barry says overhead kettlebell lunge
• 48:48
  would have been cool.
• 48:49
  Good.
• 48:50
  What about those?
• 48:52
  the Hulk hands,
• 48:53
  that would have been really cool.
• 48:54
  They were already there.
• 48:56
  That would have had like at least a
• 48:58
  different look and you could,
• 49:00
  you could push the lunge and make it
• 49:04
  a little more speedy.
• 49:06
  But I do get like the bag over
• 49:08
  the bar was not a climactic.
• 49:10
  Well,
• 49:11
  it could be if you couldn't get it
• 49:13
  over.
• 49:14
  Can you, I mean,
• 49:16
  I don't think the boys were going to
• 49:18
  have like,
• 49:19
  nobody was going to fall out of the
• 49:20
  top three, but,
• 49:22
  can you imagine if one of them like
• 49:24
  kept failing and that's why they didn't
• 49:29
  podium or like it would have been like,
• 49:32
  That's not even to, to be fair.
• 49:35
  I like,
• 49:35
  I don't mind the fitness piece of things
• 49:38
  and adaptation,
• 49:39
  which I feel like Jeff did better at
• 49:41
  this than I expected.
• 49:42
  Um, cause usually it does,
• 49:45
  doesn't adapt to these things, but to me,
• 49:47
  this was purely a height workout.
• 49:50
  Like Colton couldn't do it because he
• 49:51
  couldn't get the bag through his legs to
• 49:54
  swing it.
• 49:54
  That's why Jay struggled.
• 49:55
  In my opinion, happy lining did great.
• 49:58
  Cause he's tall.
• 50:00
  You know,
• 50:00
  James and Dillon are going to be fine.
• 50:03
  Like, even if they mess up once,
• 50:04
  they're going to get it.
• 50:05
  But it was a very awkward.
• 50:07
  That's a big bag for someone of Colton's
• 50:10
  stature with how wide his legs are.
• 50:13
  Like,
• 50:13
  think about trying to swing that thing
• 50:15
  without hitting the ground and getting
• 50:16
  momentum.
• 50:20
  Yeah, I hear you.
• 50:22
  I hear you.
• 50:23
  And like Amy Kringle fell apart and she
• 50:25
  fell out of contention.
• 50:30
  And I, this is where like,
• 50:32
  I always fall into this and I need
• 50:34
  to stop is like, this is rogue.
• 50:36
  This is their event.
• 50:37
  This is their showcase.
• 50:39
  We are not here to find the fittest
• 50:41
  on earth.
• 50:42
  We're here to showcase their equipment and
• 50:44
  entertain.
• 50:46
  Did we showcase their equipment?
• 50:47
  Like, again,
• 50:48
  we barely even saw the bags being tossed
• 50:51
  or like didn't even,
• 50:53
  that wasn't rogue's fault.
• 50:54
  That was the broadcast fault.
• 50:55
  Well,
• 50:56
  they should have been focused on that a
• 50:58
  little bit more.
• 50:58
  Like, again, we've seen bikes.
• 51:01
  They showed a decent amount of the Zurcher
• 51:04
  with holding that barbell.
• 51:05
  Like I think they were trying to showcase
• 51:06
  that barbell a little more.
• 51:08
  I didn't hate it.
• 51:09
  It was fine.
• 51:09
  It's awkward.
• 51:10
  It puts pressure on that bicep.
• 51:11
  And then when you go to swing,
• 51:13
  you're like, it's fine.
• 51:15
  But they didn't,
• 51:16
  you didn't get really much commentary
• 51:19
  about the bag because the camera wasn't
• 51:21
  there enough to talk about it.
• 51:22
  Like to even talk about Jay's miss or
• 51:24
  where Colton was struggling or anything.
• 51:27
  It just, to me,
• 51:28
  it did not highlight anything.
• 51:32
  I think what it did for me was
• 51:34
  I would love to try it.
• 51:36
  I would love to go get a bag.
• 51:37
  I would love to try to throw it
• 51:39
  up over something.
• 51:42
  Maybe I'll ask Julie if I can just
• 51:43
  start throwing them on the roof.
• 51:45
  Yeah.
• 51:45
  And then you'd be like,
• 51:46
  these idiots couldn't even do this
• 51:47
  workout.
• 51:47
  I'm fitter than Amy Kringle.
• 51:50
  That's like, that's the kind of.
• 51:52
  Okay.
• 51:56
  Well, maybe I am.
• 51:58
  Maybe you are.
• 52:02
  um more athletic maybe i mean that's the
• 52:05
  thing there's definitely a difference
• 52:08
  between athleticism and fitness the more
• 52:10
  we have these conversations and we talk
• 52:12
  about these like you know your four-yard
• 52:15
  dash your your sideways shuttles your
• 52:19
  things like this getting the bag over the
• 52:20
  bar there is something to athleticism
• 52:25
  adaptation
• 52:28
  For me, it's more of a gi showcase.
• 52:30
  And that's, again, you're right.
• 52:31
  It's fine.
• 52:32
  It's rogue.
• 52:34
  What I don't want is other events taking
• 52:38
  these things and programming around them
• 52:41
  because I think it's a poor test of
• 52:43
  fitness.
• 52:43
  Okay.
• 52:43
  Okay.
• 52:54
  I think if you're an event organizer,
• 52:56
  Rogue has their thing and you should not
• 52:59
  try to duplicate it.
• 53:00
  Agreed.
• 53:02
  But to me, it's okay.
• 53:04
  I mean, they have a deal with CBS.
• 53:06
  They're getting airtime.
• 53:07
  They're doing things that the other events
• 53:10
  can't do.
• 53:12
  And because of that,
• 53:13
  they can do whatever the hell they want
• 53:14
  to.
• 53:14
  And I'm okay with it.
• 53:16
  But I do agree with it.
• 53:18
  It wasn't a climactic end.
• 53:21
  You didn't see the race to the buzzer.
• 53:22
  You didn't see the lunge down the line.
• 53:26
  Whatever that might be.
• 53:28
  I actually think Dunatar should have been
• 53:31
  the finale.
• 53:34
  That handstand walk,
• 53:36
  seeing who wasn't going to trip on the...
• 53:38
  That would have been a more climactic
• 53:42
  finale.
• 53:44
  Watching Tudor pass James on the handstand
• 53:45
  walk was exciting.
• 53:48
  Yeah.
• 53:49
  It was great.
• 53:53
  Saw more of Andrew Sten on the stream
• 53:54
  than I saw of Carolyn.
• 53:55
  I was thinking that too.
• 54:00
  Yeah.
• 54:00
  Old Andrew Sten got middle lanes, man.
• 54:06
  Thanks, guys.
• 54:11
  Carolyn run at the end was awesome.
• 54:13
  Yeah.
• 54:14
  She sprinted everything to the end.
• 54:18
  Carolyn was awesome.
• 54:19
  Love her.
• 54:22
  So, yeah, and everybody agrees with you,
• 54:24
  like always, and there we go.
• 54:27
  I don't always know if my opinions are
• 54:29
  going to be well-received or not.
• 54:32
  I have them, though.
• 54:35
  So this event was Laura Horvath took the
• 54:37
  win again.
• 54:40
  Kerstetter took second.
• 54:42
  No surprise there, right?
• 54:43
  Like,
• 54:44
  they're both going to be great on a
• 54:45
  bike,
• 54:46
  tall enough to not struggle with that bag.
• 54:51
  Um,
• 54:51
  Lucy Campbell took fourth and Gabby
• 54:54
  McGowan took fifth.
• 54:54
  Yeah.
• 54:56
  And that was that she did what she
• 54:58
  needed to do.
• 54:58
  I would,
• 54:59
  I've liked to seen her push the bike
• 55:00
  a little bit more because all she needed
• 55:01
  to do was close one spot and not
• 55:05
  lose to Laura.
• 55:05
  She would have been second because they
• 55:07
  tied, but Laura had the tiebreaker.
• 55:09
  And then on the men's side,
• 55:10
  we had James Sprague win that event.
• 55:12
  Dallin Pepper took second, Jason Hopper,
• 55:14
  third, Gima heroes took fifth, fourth,
• 55:17
  and Ricky Gerard took fifth.
• 55:21
  So then we end up with a total
• 55:26
  where our winner was Dallin pepper.
• 55:28
  And I was so excited for him to
• 55:32
  get a big win as an adult is
• 55:35
  huge for him.
• 55:40
  Um,
• 55:41
  James Sprague took second tutor Magda took
• 55:43
  third.
• 55:44
  So the Pacific Northwest is celebrating
• 55:46
  tonight.
• 55:47
  I love that.
• 55:48
  Those three boys got their little podium
• 55:50
  pick again.
• 55:52
  And then the Australians took fourth and
• 55:55
  fifth, Jay and Ricky.
• 56:02
  My picks weren't good.
• 56:05
  My picks were pretty good.
• 56:06
  I had James and Tudor.
• 56:11
  And then I had Jeff Adler,
• 56:12
  which was not up in the top three.
• 56:13
  And I had Dallin, James, and Ricky.
• 56:17
  No, I did have Dallin.
• 56:18
  I had Dallin and Tudor.
• 56:21
  Actually,
• 56:21
  so I got Dallin and James right in
• 56:23
  that order.
• 56:24
  I think I did too.
• 56:25
  I went Dallin, Jeff, Tudor.
• 56:29
  You said Jeff?
• 56:31
  Yeah, Dallin, Jeff, Tudor.
• 56:32
  You got Dallin.
• 56:33
  But I said Dallin, James,
• 56:35
  Ricky when I picked my pick.
• 56:38
  So I had Dallin and James right.
• 56:40
  I had Dallin and Tudor right.
• 56:43
  It's the women I totally botched.
• 56:45
  Yeah,
• 56:45
  I don't think any of us did great
• 56:48
  on the women's side.
• 56:51
  On the women's side,
• 56:51
  we had Lucy Campbell win,
• 56:53
  Laura Horvat in second,
• 56:55
  Gabby McGowan in third,
• 56:56
  Emma Lawson in fourth,
• 56:58
  and Alex Kazan in fifth.
• 57:03
  Yeah, I had Emma Tall winning,
• 57:05
  Alex Kazan in second, and Amy in third.
• 57:12
  So I was way off.
• 57:13
  I didn't get any.
• 57:14
  Yeah, I think it's that Amy, Laura, Emma,
• 57:15
  maybe?
• 57:23
  So you got one.
• 57:26
  Yeah.
• 57:27
  But I was really happy for Lucy Campbell.
• 57:29
  Her first big, I mean,
• 57:31
  like she's won water Palooza.
• 57:32
  I guess that's a pretty big deal,
• 57:35
  but to add a rogue win on top
• 57:38
  of the second place at the games, pretty,
• 57:41
  pretty damn impressive.
• 57:43
  And her speech afterwards where she talked
• 57:45
  about thinking this was never going to be
• 57:47
  her event.
• 57:48
  She wouldn't even be able to qualify for
• 57:50
  it.
• 57:50
  And then she won the whole damn thing.
• 57:54
  I thought that was pretty cool.
• 57:56
  Yeah.
• 57:57
  I don't know that.
• 58:00
  Like, I'm glad she's like saying that now.
• 58:04
  I, I personally, for like the last year,
• 58:07
  it's over a year whenever people are like,
• 58:09
  Oh, she's not strong.
• 58:10
  I like, I am confused at that statement.
• 58:14
  Like to me, she's been fine.
• 58:16
  I don't know why,
• 58:17
  why we keep and why she even puts
• 58:19
  these limitations on herself because she's
• 58:23
  strong enough.
• 58:27
  She is.
• 58:27
  She sewed it.
• 58:28
  If you win Rogue, you're strong enough.
• 58:30
  Correct.
• 58:34
  Disappointments from the weekend.
• 58:36
  I see someone in here saying Jason Hopper.
• 58:39
  I was more disappointed in Jason Hopper
• 58:40
  not shit-talking.
• 58:45
  Yeah.
• 58:47
  I think it is needed in our sport.
• 58:50
  That's what I loved about what a Palooza
• 58:52
  SoCal is all of the trash-talking back and
• 58:55
  forth.
• 58:57
  Well, they should add Jack Barlow here.
• 58:58
  He would have been great for this event.
• 59:01
  He would have been.
• 59:02
  I think you would have done really good
• 59:04
  at some of these events.
• 59:06
  Well, if he's still injured, who knows?
• 59:09
  I don't know.
• 59:11
  I would have to say Amy was a
• 59:13
  little bit of a disappointment.
• 59:14
  Yeah.
• 59:15
  But again, we talked about this.
• 59:17
  We don't know what condition they're in
• 59:19
  when they get here.
• 59:20
  Some did a couple events.
• 59:22
  Some did no events.
• 59:27
  yeah i don't know that always bothers me
• 59:30
  like and i don't know if it's because
• 59:32
  like i like carolyn and i are similar
• 59:35
  like we just are in the same shape
• 59:38
  year round if you ask us to show
• 59:40
  up somewhere we're gonna be fine i don't
• 59:42
  like like knowing that people need to like
• 59:47
  fully taper and fully and i know you
• 59:50
  need to do it for health for like
• 59:52
  longevity stay healthy
• 59:57
  probably why I'm always injured, whatever.
• 1:00:01
  I would just rather just stay in shape
• 1:00:05
  all the time.
• 1:00:06
  I don't want to.
• 1:00:08
  I agree with you.
• 1:00:09
  I think that that is the only way
• 1:00:10
  you're going to survive in the modern
• 1:00:13
  climate of fitness, fitnessing,
• 1:00:16
  because athletes wanted more opportunities
• 1:00:19
  and now they have them and you're not
• 1:00:22
  going to be able to taper down or
• 1:00:24
  deload for every single event anymore.
• 1:00:28
  And so you either have to choose to
• 1:00:29
  only do a couple or live with a
• 1:00:32
  new normal.
• 1:00:33
  Right.
• 1:00:39
  Amy, first time at Rogue, she'll improve.
• 1:00:41
  I trust she will too.
• 1:00:43
  And I'm only mildly disappointed.
• 1:00:45
  I really like Amy.
• 1:00:47
  I found myself rooting for her this
• 1:00:49
  weekend.
• 1:00:50
  She's one of the people that bubbled to
• 1:00:51
  the surface.
• 1:00:55
  I just want her to do well.
• 1:00:58
  And I really thought Alex Kazan would
• 1:00:59
  have.
• 1:01:00
  And she looked really good yesterday.
• 1:01:03
  Today just fell flat for her.
• 1:01:06
  And in some really bad ways.
• 1:01:11
  But she still took fifth, top five.
• 1:01:14
  Made some decent money.
• 1:01:22
  John,
• 1:01:22
  just saying that you want to have fun
• 1:01:24
  does not mean that you are just there
• 1:01:26
  to have fun.
• 1:01:31
  Let's just say that too.
• 1:01:33
  Because last night,
• 1:01:34
  Jamie said she likes to go just to
• 1:01:35
  have fun, and I know that's a lie.
• 1:01:39
  Again, if I was going to Rogue,
• 1:01:41
  I would just go have fun.
• 1:01:47
  I,
• 1:01:48
  there are specific instances where you
• 1:01:50
  told me I'm going just to have fun
• 1:01:52
  because I hurt my shoulder.
• 1:01:53
  Then you get there and you beat yourself
• 1:01:56
  up because you didn't do this on this
• 1:01:57
  event and you didn't do this.
• 1:01:58
  You didn't meet your own expectations.
• 1:02:01
  You never just have fun.
• 1:02:04
  You are a competitor through and through
• 1:02:06
  just like all these athletes are.
• 1:02:08
  They just say that out loud and she's
• 1:02:12
  trying to be humble.
• 1:02:13
  She's trying to be the anti Laura and
• 1:02:16
  that's cool.
• 1:02:19
  But it doesn't mean deep down inside she
• 1:02:20
  didn't want to win.
• 1:02:25
  It's a lot of work to win.
• 1:02:27
  Winning's not everything.
• 1:02:31
  I know.
• 1:02:35
  And I'm not saying that if you don't
• 1:02:36
  win, you're not happy.
• 1:02:37
  I'm saying that, like, for you,
• 1:02:40
  it's about you.
• 1:02:41
  What you could have done differently,
• 1:02:44
  and you beat yourself up about it.
• 1:02:52
  Say that again, Jamie.
• 1:02:53
  I don't know what I said.
• 1:03:04
  I thought it was a fun weekend.
• 1:03:05
  I enjoyed watching it for the most part.
• 1:03:08
  I do get annoyed.
• 1:03:11
  And again, if it was a free broadcast,
• 1:03:13
  I would be less critical.
• 1:03:16
  But this is a CBS broadcast.
• 1:03:18
  All the cool graphics,
• 1:03:20
  all the four K cameras,
• 1:03:22
  all the cool shit.
• 1:03:24
  And then you botch it up by like
• 1:03:27
  just really poor camera work.
• 1:03:31
  It was all there for the taking.
• 1:03:37
  I thought the strong man was pretty good.
• 1:03:39
  I watched pretty much every event.
• 1:03:42
  Those are nice and short.
• 1:03:43
  There's only eight, eight, nine of them.
• 1:03:45
  It goes pretty quick.
• 1:03:46
  Two minute events.
• 1:03:47
  Like I think,
• 1:03:48
  and I think they do a good job
• 1:03:49
  of broadcast for those events.
• 1:03:52
  Yeah.
• 1:03:53
  They're not moving as fast as
• 1:03:54
  CrossFitters.
• 1:03:55
  True.
• 1:03:56
  So it's a lot easier to,
• 1:03:58
  and usually it's one at a time or
• 1:04:00
  at most two at a time.
• 1:04:01
  Yeah.
• 1:04:03
  Um, so it makes it,
• 1:04:07
  makes it a lot easier to watch.
• 1:04:11
  But when I watched strong,
• 1:04:13
  I watched strong man when I was a
• 1:04:14
  kid at like midnight on ESPN,
• 1:04:17
  Magnus von Magnussen back in the day,
• 1:04:20
  dominating strong man,
• 1:04:22
  picking up Volkswagen Beatles.
• 1:04:24
  And like,
• 1:04:25
  I I've loved cross or like strong man
• 1:04:27
  for a long time.
• 1:04:28
  I,
• 1:04:29
  they also come to the Arnold every year.
• 1:04:31
  And I, when I worked security,
• 1:04:33
  I got to meet them and they're just
• 1:04:36
  wild people.
• 1:04:38
  Like,
• 1:04:38
  if you ever want to just sit and
• 1:04:41
  enjoy yourself,
• 1:04:42
  go hang out where strongmen are hanging
• 1:04:46
  out.
• 1:04:46
  It is wild stuff.
• 1:04:54
  Was legend streamed?
• 1:04:55
  They didn't even do it.
• 1:05:02
  I don't care.
• 1:05:04
  What?
• 1:05:05
  I don't care.
• 1:05:08
  After year one of Rogue when the Legends
• 1:05:10
  actually competed,
• 1:05:12
  the rest of it's been a joke.
• 1:05:14
  I do agree with that.
• 1:05:15
  I wish they would have went back to
• 1:05:16
  year one.
• 1:05:17
  If they are going to compete,
• 1:05:19
  then compete.
• 1:05:21
  If you're not going to truly compete,
• 1:05:23
  don't do it.
• 1:05:25
  I don't need to see the Pro Bowl
• 1:05:29
  where it's ninety-two to eighty-three.
• 1:05:33
  That's not real football.
• 1:05:34
  I don't need to see that.
• 1:05:36
  I don't need to see people change partners
• 1:05:38
  in the middle of workouts.
• 1:05:40
  It's just, if you're not going to work,
• 1:05:43
  if you're not going to compete,
• 1:05:45
  do the meet and greets,
• 1:05:46
  do the community workouts,
• 1:05:49
  do all that and shake hands and kiss
• 1:05:52
  babies.
• 1:05:53
  Take pictures, do all that stuff.
• 1:05:56
  I love them all.
• 1:05:57
  I love that they're there.
• 1:06:00
  I love that Rogue brings them in.
• 1:06:02
  But if you're not going to truly work
• 1:06:03
  out, don't work out.
• 1:06:06
  I mean,
• 1:06:06
  we all just really want to see Rich
• 1:06:08
  and Matt take the floor and go head
• 1:06:10
  to head.
• 1:06:14
  And I think they would avoid that at
• 1:06:17
  all costs.
• 1:06:26
  Yeah.
• 1:06:27
  Agree.
• 1:06:27
  Put some money on the line.
• 1:06:28
  Have thirty five to forty thirty five to
• 1:06:30
  forty five event with a qualifier.
• 1:06:40
  I want to see a picture of Hafthor
• 1:06:42
  and Jamie next to each other.
• 1:06:43
  I couldn't believe how small he made Peter
• 1:06:45
  look.
• 1:06:46
  That was crazy.
• 1:06:51
  Him and Brian Shaw are two of the
• 1:06:52
  largest men I've ever seen in person.
• 1:06:55
  Is he over seven feet tall?
• 1:06:58
  No.
• 1:07:00
  Probably six, eleven, six, ten, maybe.
• 1:07:04
  He looked like a foot taller than Peter.
• 1:07:09
  It was crazy.
• 1:07:12
  And he's a whole lot thicker.
• 1:07:13
  Well, yeah.
• 1:07:16
  Yeah.
• 1:07:18
  I have a friend who is over six
• 1:07:20
  feet tall.
• 1:07:21
  We met him together working security at
• 1:07:24
  the Arnold and he, he dwarfed my buddy,
• 1:07:28
  but Brian Shaw is even like bigger
• 1:07:32
  overall.
• 1:07:33
  And Brian Shaw's maybe only in two inches
• 1:07:35
  shorter and,
• 1:07:36
  I was telling somebody this,
• 1:07:37
  we were sitting down at the Hilton by
• 1:07:40
  the convention center and Brian Shaw came
• 1:07:43
  in for breakfast and the full dining room
• 1:07:45
  table looked like one of those bar tables
• 1:07:47
  that you stand at.
• 1:07:49
  And he had like a stack of twenty
• 1:07:51
  pancakes, like eight eggs,
• 1:07:55
  like his table was full.
• 1:07:57
  And the fork looked like a toothpick.
• 1:08:04
  I know I always find it funny when
• 1:08:05
  like those guys pick up like a pop
• 1:08:08
  can.
• 1:08:09
  It's like me picking up those little,
• 1:08:11
  like, I don't eat ten ounce cans.
• 1:08:13
  That's what they look like in their hands.
• 1:08:15
  I'm like, what?
• 1:08:19
  It reminds me of the Andre, the giant,
• 1:08:21
  um,
• 1:08:22
  documentary when he picked up a beer can
• 1:08:24
  and you could barely see it in his
• 1:08:25
  hand.
• 1:08:28
  Yeah.
• 1:08:28
  It's crazy.
• 1:08:33
  Is James big in person?
• 1:08:35
  I think it's... James is tall.
• 1:08:39
  Yeah,
• 1:08:40
  I feel like he seems big in person.
• 1:08:42
  But he's not as big as Dallin and
• 1:08:47
  Jason.
• 1:08:48
  He isn't, but Dallin's just thicker.
• 1:08:51
  Dallin's not as tall.
• 1:08:53
  No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 1:08:54
  James is the tallest of the three,
• 1:08:57
  but the other two are bigger than he
• 1:08:59
  is.
• 1:09:01
  Like just beefier.
• 1:09:10
  So there's that.
• 1:09:14
  Now we don't really have anything until
• 1:09:16
  WFP Copenhagen.
• 1:09:18
  Which is what, December?
• 1:09:20
  Yep.
• 1:09:22
  Like what, December?
• 1:09:23
  When is that?
• 1:09:26
  It's the week before Christmas.
• 1:09:28
  Okay.
• 1:09:29
  Which isn't all... The...
• 1:09:34
  Xenon Miami like the fifteenth or
• 1:09:37
  something or is it that same weekend also
• 1:09:40
  from that time too I feel like I
• 1:09:45
  haven't paid attention to the Xenon dates
• 1:09:48
  yet well before we go tonight I did
• 1:09:52
  want to get your opinion on the events
• 1:09:54
  of this week one it is rumored that
• 1:09:58
  Tudor is now going to be coached by
• 1:09:59
  Adam Neifert I like that I do too
• 1:10:07
  I think that is the perfect coach for
• 1:10:09
  Tudor.
• 1:10:10
  Yeah.
• 1:10:15
  I really like that.
• 1:10:18
  It's also less than rumored,
• 1:10:20
  but more factual that Dom is now Danielle
• 1:10:24
  Brandon's coach.
• 1:10:32
  That's interesting.
• 1:10:37
  This is all the talk about is Dom
• 1:10:39
  staying with Mayhem.
• 1:10:41
  Which Rich said last Wednesday that he is.
• 1:10:46
  I can't see Danielle making that choice if
• 1:10:49
  he's going back to group.
• 1:10:50
  I just don't see Danielle wanting anything
• 1:10:52
  to do with group.
• 1:10:55
  I guess it doesn't really matter
• 1:10:57
  regardless,
• 1:10:57
  but no matter what coach she has,
• 1:11:01
  she's not going to be really a part
• 1:11:03
  of the camp, I don't feel like.
• 1:11:05
  Although I do feel like she has a
• 1:11:06
  great relationship with like Dallin and
• 1:11:09
  Jason and they are all rude athletes.
• 1:11:15
  Here's my, here's my wild ass theory.
• 1:11:19
  Um, Dom is known as a very strong,
• 1:11:21
  faithful person.
• 1:11:23
  Do you think Danielle is looking for more
• 1:11:27
  than just a coach?
• 1:11:31
  Because in my eyes,
• 1:11:33
  Dom is looked at more as a mentor
• 1:11:37
  than a coach.
• 1:11:42
  It's a very interesting choice.
• 1:11:44
  I feel like he would have had to
• 1:11:46
  have some conversations with her.
• 1:11:49
  I would like to think you wouldn't just
• 1:11:51
  take on an athlete just to take them
• 1:11:54
  on.
• 1:11:56
  I would hope that there has been some
• 1:11:58
  conversations there.
• 1:12:01
  And yeah,
• 1:12:02
  probably some faith has been brought into
• 1:12:04
  it or it just seems like.
• 1:12:07
  I mean,
• 1:12:08
  I would I just would hope he would
• 1:12:09
  be the type of person who just wouldn't
• 1:12:10
  take her on just to take her on.
• 1:12:14
  I agree.
• 1:12:15
  I agree.
• 1:12:18
  Ed says Roman is still with man,
• 1:12:20
  but just moved.
• 1:12:20
  No, he is not.
• 1:12:22
  That's what I had originally read, too.
• 1:12:24
  And yeah, it does not appear that way.
• 1:12:27
  Yeah, last Sunday, I was right.
• 1:12:28
  Jamie was wrong.
• 1:12:29
  She never admits it,
• 1:12:30
  but I was actually right last Sunday.
• 1:12:33
  Roman posted on his Instagram that he has
• 1:12:37
  left and he's going to start his own
• 1:12:39
  thing.
• 1:12:47
  Right.
• 1:12:47
  I see someone said they think Taylor would
• 1:12:49
  be a good coach for Daniel.
• 1:12:51
  I don't think I agree.
• 1:12:53
  I don't know.
• 1:12:53
  I don't know why.
• 1:12:54
  I just...
• 1:12:59
  I don't know.
• 1:13:03
  I have seen Taylor coach.
• 1:13:04
  I think he's awesome at coaching.
• 1:13:06
  She needs a calming influence in her life.
• 1:13:10
  Right?
• 1:13:11
  And if you see Taylor and Bryson coach
• 1:13:15
  their athletes at the games,
• 1:13:16
  they are very calm.
• 1:13:19
  So his personal persona is much different
• 1:13:22
  than his public persona.
• 1:13:23
  Yeah.
• 1:13:24
  But Dom is known for that guy as
• 1:13:28
  the calming influence.
• 1:13:29
  And when you run that hot for this
• 1:13:31
  long,
• 1:13:32
  I think you're yearning for something to
• 1:13:35
  soothe that and calm that.
• 1:13:41
  So that's why I went with that.
• 1:13:44
  Theory.
• 1:13:45
  Theory only.
• 1:13:47
  You really would think Knifer would have
• 1:13:48
  been the perfect coach for her,
• 1:13:50
  in my opinion.
• 1:13:52
  I thought that was a great
• 1:13:53
  I'm like, oh,
• 1:13:53
  this is going to be good.
• 1:13:55
  So I'm disappointed that that isn't
• 1:14:01
  working out.
• 1:14:03
  I don't think it's a perfect fit.
• 1:14:05
  You don't?
• 1:14:06
  No.
• 1:14:10
  I think Adam looks at coaching as a
• 1:14:18
  collaborative and a cooperative thing.
• 1:14:21
  I don't necessarily think that's what
• 1:14:24
  Danielle's looking for.
• 1:14:25
  I could see that.
• 1:14:28
  But I think that is what Tudor's looking
• 1:14:30
  for.
• 1:14:32
  Agreed.
• 1:14:35
  Like Tudor is wicked smart.
• 1:14:39
  And like,
• 1:14:39
  I think he wants to learn while he's
• 1:14:41
  doing.
• 1:14:49
  So that's that.
• 1:14:51
  Then we have the CrossFit game season that
• 1:14:55
  was announced.
• 1:14:58
  Just some highlights because we've talked
• 1:14:59
  about it and other people have talked
• 1:15:00
  about it all week.
• 1:15:01
  Just wanted to get your overall arching
• 1:15:03
  thoughts.
• 1:15:04
  For you,
• 1:15:05
  we're back to forty athletes at the games.
• 1:15:09
  That's a terrible choice.
• 1:15:14
  I missed that, I guess.
• 1:15:15
  That's news to me.
• 1:15:15
  That's dumb.
• 1:15:18
  So just to explain that,
• 1:15:21
  every semifinal is now getting three
• 1:15:23
  qualifiers instead of like this one
• 1:15:25
  getting one and this one getting two and
• 1:15:27
  this one getting three.
• 1:15:29
  So to fit it all in,
• 1:15:31
  they had to go back to forty.
• 1:15:33
  They also got rid of Rebel Renegade games
• 1:15:35
  because they said the depth of the field
• 1:15:37
  wasn't good enough.
• 1:15:38
  But they're leaving other ones?
• 1:15:40
  We don't know.
• 1:15:42
  We don't know.
• 1:15:43
  We don't know what's here and what's not.
• 1:15:46
  Other than the few that have posted their
• 1:15:47
  dates already.
• 1:15:49
  tam getting there still don't i feel like
• 1:15:52
  that was um very questionable depth of
• 1:15:55
  field as well i yeah i don't know
• 1:16:00
  um yeah forty means cuts in my opinion
• 1:16:05
  too which i don't think it's dumb if
• 1:16:11
  the fittest actually get there i agree
• 1:16:14
  that won't happen but yeah
• 1:16:17
  You've got to get rid of this.
• 1:16:18
  I know it's not regionally locked anymore,
• 1:16:20
  but it's gotta be accessible for the good
• 1:16:22
  athletes to go to all the different
• 1:16:24
  locations.
• 1:16:29
  Um,
• 1:16:31
  what are a couple other things you can
• 1:16:33
  only do two semifinal?
• 1:16:35
  You can only accept two semifinal
• 1:16:38
  invitations,
• 1:16:40
  so you can't accept eight and then cancel
• 1:16:43
  six of them.
• 1:16:45
  And pick two or you can't go to
• 1:16:46
  all eight.
• 1:16:47
  What if all eight men, top eight men,
• 1:16:51
  choose the same two?
• 1:16:54
  Then you're done.
• 1:16:55
  You're locked in.
• 1:16:57
  Then it's that or and then.
• 1:16:59
  This is just silly.
• 1:17:00
  You have to do it by strength of
• 1:17:02
  feel.
• 1:17:05
  I'm just telling you what they told me.
• 1:17:06
  Don't yell at me.
• 1:17:08
  Awful.
• 1:17:09
  More changes that are going to ruin the
• 1:17:11
  sport.
• 1:17:12
  Perfect.
• 1:17:21
  That math ain't mathin'.
• 1:17:26
  Two times ten is thirty?
• 1:17:29
  Three times ten?
• 1:17:35
  Are you saying three by ten?
• 1:17:37
  So if there's ten semis and they all
• 1:17:38
  get three people,
• 1:17:39
  then you're at thirty and then you do
• 1:17:40
  ten in line, that's a possibility,
• 1:17:43
  I guess.
• 1:17:45
  Yeah.
• 1:17:45
  Ten semis is a lot.
• 1:17:50
  For both individuals and Masters,
• 1:17:54
  the online is at the end of the
• 1:17:56
  season instead of in the middle.
• 1:18:00
  There are going to be more opportunities,
• 1:18:02
  supposedly,
• 1:18:03
  for Masters to compete in person to get
• 1:18:06
  to the games.
• 1:18:09
  And the biggest thing is Legends is no
• 1:18:13
  longer running the Masters CrossFit Games.
• 1:18:14
  It's now Magic City.
• 1:18:16
  which we will have Micah Shoemaker on next
• 1:18:20
  Sunday night.
• 1:18:21
  And you all can ask him questions about
• 1:18:24
  what you want to about the CrossFit Games
• 1:18:26
  next season.
• 1:18:34
  Any thoughts on that?
• 1:18:35
  Any questions?
• 1:18:39
  And he did say in Birmingham in one
• 1:18:41
  of his posts.
• 1:18:43
  So it appears that we are going back
• 1:18:45
  to...
• 1:18:48
  The CrossFit Games for the open division
• 1:18:52
  will be in one location.
• 1:18:54
  Pitt will hold theirs in another.
• 1:18:57
  Magic City will hold theirs in another.
• 1:19:01
  Terrible.
• 1:19:02
  Terrible for the sport.
• 1:19:05
  Terrible for the community.
• 1:19:10
  Can you say why,
• 1:19:11
  or do you want me to?
• 1:19:14
  You're splitting the fans.
• 1:19:16
  Everyone is complaining that people aren't
• 1:19:18
  going to watch these events.
• 1:19:20
  Yeah,
• 1:19:20
  because it costs three thousand dollars to
• 1:19:22
  go watch an event.
• 1:19:24
  You aren't doing that every other weekend
• 1:19:28
  or once a month for three months to
• 1:19:31
  watch three different events.
• 1:19:32
  No, like.
• 1:19:33
  Very, very few people are doing that.
• 1:19:36
  If you want this sport to grow and
• 1:19:37
  you want the young people that should be
• 1:19:40
  with their parents anyway seeing both of
• 1:19:42
  this,
• 1:19:42
  you need to have the whole thing together
• 1:19:43
  so that more people are exposed to it
• 1:19:48
  and are inspired and want to do this.
• 1:19:52
  You at least need to have masters and
• 1:19:54
  teens together.
• 1:19:55
  At least.
• 1:19:58
  What I will say is if the games
• 1:20:01
  are going overseas,
• 1:20:02
  which the rumor is that is happening,
• 1:20:07
  Then the only U.S.
• 1:20:10
  options are the age groups and adaptive.
• 1:20:14
  You should have made it one and taken
• 1:20:15
  advantage of it this year.
• 1:20:17
  That's the only event in the U.S.
• 1:20:19
  for people to go to.
• 1:20:20
  And you come see everyone compete.
• 1:20:28
  Tessa says,
• 1:20:28
  I don't go to concerts anymore because of
• 1:20:31
  price other than festivals.
• 1:20:33
  That's what we're missing.
• 1:20:35
  That is, you know,
• 1:20:37
  my big beef is that CrossFit tells us
• 1:20:39
  what we should care about and doesn't
• 1:20:41
  listen to what we care about.
• 1:20:42
  What we care about is a festival.
• 1:20:44
  We care about going and hanging out with
• 1:20:46
  our friends in a big open field and
• 1:20:49
  maybe going to a venue a couple times
• 1:20:52
  a day to watch an event.
• 1:20:53
  But the rest of the day,
• 1:20:55
  go do workouts, go eat good food,
• 1:20:57
  go to a beer garden,
• 1:20:59
  go do all this other stuff,
• 1:21:00
  and they have ripped all of that away.
• 1:21:09
  That's what we're missing.
• 1:21:10
  And any kind of half-assed measure to
• 1:21:13
  bring it all together into one without
• 1:21:15
  that festival feel is a miss.
• 1:21:17
  Yep.
• 1:21:20
  If they're not going to do the festival,
• 1:21:21
  then make them separate.
• 1:21:31
  I didn't hear Taylor talk about the new
• 1:21:33
  eight to nine division.
• 1:21:35
  You don't want to hear my thoughts.
• 1:21:36
  You didn't like what Taylor said.
• 1:21:37
  You don't want to hear my thoughts.
• 1:21:39
  You don't like it.
• 1:21:41
  Not at all.
• 1:21:43
  I don't like that.
• 1:21:44
  Micah took this over either.
• 1:21:45
  I've said that before.
• 1:21:47
  I think it's a terrible idea.
• 1:21:51
  Who do you think should have it?
• 1:21:53
  CrossFit.
• 1:21:54
  I've said that.
• 1:21:55
  And I think that's, those days are over.
• 1:21:57
  Great.
• 1:21:57
  Then,
• 1:21:58
  then it falls apart and CrossFit falls
• 1:22:00
  apart.
• 1:22:01
  Like,
• 1:22:02
  Micah should have stood his ground and
• 1:22:04
  been like, no, not taking it for you.
• 1:22:07
  I'm not taking it so that I can
• 1:22:08
  get shit,
• 1:22:09
  shit on just like Bob and Joe did.
• 1:22:11
  Micah should have kept magic city and been
• 1:22:15
  the premier masters event that everyone
• 1:22:18
  wants to go to without CrossFit saying,
• 1:22:21
  here's all of our,
• 1:22:22
  the money that all of the masters have
• 1:22:24
  put into the sport and do it right.
• 1:22:27
  Don't accept it.
• 1:22:28
  Let it like,
• 1:22:30
  somebody needed to put crossfit in their
• 1:22:32
  place and make you cannot tell me that
• 1:22:39
  this these things make money and that's
• 1:22:44
  why magic city exists why legends was
• 1:22:47
  existing it's why desert city classic
• 1:22:50
  these these events make money crossfit
• 1:22:57
  saying that it doesn't make money
• 1:22:59
  is a giant cop out to me.
• 1:23:01
  And they are pushing all of this off.
• 1:23:03
  They're keeping all of the profits.
• 1:23:05
  Like somebody,
• 1:23:06
  it needs to fall apart because the masters
• 1:23:09
  are just putting the bill for everything.
• 1:23:12
  And then you run whoever,
• 1:23:15
  if Mike could take, if,
• 1:23:17
  if that's the premier event,
• 1:23:18
  eventually that becomes a much bigger
• 1:23:20
  online qualifier.
• 1:23:21
  And he has the proceeds.
• 1:23:24
  Maybe he runs it as a two-parter the
• 1:23:25
  way the open runs right now, but like,
• 1:23:28
  It's not going to go the way people
• 1:23:30
  want it to go.
• 1:23:30
  And he's going to get shit on.
• 1:23:34
  It's not going to be the game.
• 1:23:35
  It's, it's just magic city.
• 1:23:37
  So he should have just done what he
• 1:23:39
  was always doing and done it the way
• 1:23:41
  he wanted to do.
• 1:23:41
  Like, this is a,
• 1:23:42
  I think it's a terrible idea.
• 1:23:47
  So you're saying it's a systemic issue
• 1:23:49
  that is as long as someone's going to
• 1:23:52
  bail CrossFit out year upon year,
• 1:23:55
  it's going to continue to happen.
• 1:24:01
  So it's not just so we're clear and
• 1:24:04
  this isn't clipped.
• 1:24:06
  This isn't a dig on Micah.
• 1:24:07
  This is a dig on the structure of
• 1:24:11
  what we have and that by him coming
• 1:24:14
  in and bailing out CrossFit,
• 1:24:16
  the systemic issue is going to continue.
• 1:24:18
  Correct.
• 1:24:19
  I think Bob and Joe were great for
• 1:24:22
  the sport and Bob and Joe should have
• 1:24:24
  kept doing legends.
• 1:24:27
  Because, and this is where,
• 1:24:28
  when he's talking about the eighteenth and
• 1:24:30
  nineteenth division,
• 1:24:31
  it's the exact same thing.
• 1:24:33
  Pitt already runs the eighteenth and
• 1:24:35
  nineteenth division.
• 1:24:36
  They already have this comp handled.
• 1:24:38
  And the CrossFit in general needs feeder
• 1:24:43
  comps.
• 1:24:45
  Like, MFC is great.
• 1:24:47
  Legends is great.
• 1:24:50
  Magic City, excellent.
• 1:24:52
  Excellent work.
• 1:24:53
  Like, that, they need to exist.
• 1:24:57
  For people to, like,
• 1:24:59
  I went to Legends for three years before
• 1:25:02
  I made it.
• 1:25:03
  Like, you need those events.
• 1:25:06
  And they should do what they do really,
• 1:25:08
  really well.
• 1:25:10
  And they're amazing events.
• 1:25:12
  But they should not be the game.
• 1:25:15
  Like,
• 1:25:15
  he should stand on his own accord for
• 1:25:17
  what he does.
• 1:25:18
  And that should be his event.
• 1:25:19
  Pitt should continue to run what they run.
• 1:25:21
  And they should have the eighteenth and
• 1:25:22
  nineteenth college event.
• 1:25:24
  It's a great feeder comp.
• 1:25:27
  You don't have eighteen and nineteen at
• 1:25:28
  the games.
• 1:25:28
  That doesn't even make sense.
• 1:25:31
  You're either good enough to go or you
• 1:25:33
  aren't.
• 1:25:33
  You can't keep adding division.
• 1:25:37
  It doesn't make sense to me.
• 1:25:46
  In all of our talks,
• 1:25:47
  you've never told me this before.
• 1:25:48
  Really?
• 1:25:49
  Really.
• 1:25:50
  Not this succinctly.
• 1:25:52
  And now you have me thinking.
• 1:25:55
  like i've said this like every time i
• 1:25:57
  go like this i've said that i know
• 1:25:58
  i've said that i think people need to
• 1:26:00
  put their foot down and stop accepting
• 1:26:02
  these camps from crossfit because you
• 1:26:04
  aren't getting any help and it's making
• 1:26:06
  things worse i know i know we've said
• 1:26:09
  this about the event organizers that are
• 1:26:12
  the semi-finals that foot the bill for
• 1:26:15
  crossfit for everything and struggle to
• 1:26:18
  make money
• 1:26:20
  all because they're the semifinal for
• 1:26:22
  CrossFit.
• 1:26:23
  If they were just their own event,
• 1:26:25
  they'd be hugely successful.
• 1:26:29
  I guess I didn't correlate that to also
• 1:26:32
  the Masters and the team games.
• 1:26:41
  Now I do.
• 1:26:43
  And now what's the feeder count?
• 1:26:45
  Is Micah going to host a different Magic
• 1:26:47
  City?
• 1:26:48
  Or does Legends come back with their
• 1:26:51
  December Legends to, like...
• 1:26:54
  I know MFC is getting their background,
• 1:26:56
  but, like, we need these comps.
• 1:26:58
  Those are great comps.
• 1:27:00
  People have to get experience to get to
• 1:27:03
  the game.
• 1:27:05
  You don't just keep adding spots.
• 1:27:06
  You don't make it to sixty people.
• 1:27:08
  You don't, like...
• 1:27:10
  You don't add the eighteen and nineteen
• 1:27:11
  division.
• 1:27:12
  MFC already added a thirty to thirty-four
• 1:27:14
  division.
• 1:27:15
  Like...
• 1:27:16
  These feeder comps are what should add the
• 1:27:18
  division,
• 1:27:19
  those side comps to get people experience.
• 1:27:22
  And when you get good enough,
• 1:27:23
  you will qualify.
• 1:27:26
  Right.
• 1:27:26
  Is he dropping magazine city?
• 1:27:27
  That's exactly my question because that's
• 1:27:29
  what happened to legend.
• 1:27:30
  Legends took on the game.
• 1:27:31
  Now legends is gone.
• 1:27:33
  Not all.
• 1:27:34
  Now all legends is going to do is
• 1:27:35
  their semifinal.
• 1:27:37
  That's it.
• 1:27:38
  So now we've lost as a master.
• 1:27:40
  We don't, we don't know this answer.
• 1:27:42
  Well,
• 1:27:43
  that's why we're having Mike on next week.
• 1:27:46
  But,
• 1:27:47
  but we know what happened with legends.
• 1:27:49
  And I always feel bad when we shit
• 1:27:51
  on Bob Joe,
• 1:27:52
  because I don't think like I,
• 1:27:54
  I went to legend.
• 1:27:55
  I like the, well, let's be clear.
• 1:27:59
  I shit on Bob and Joe because of
• 1:28:01
  personal issues and lack of,
• 1:28:09
  I lack of straightforwardness to me.
• 1:28:12
  I think they were put in an impossible
• 1:28:13
  situation.
• 1:28:14
  It was never going to be good.
• 1:28:16
  There was no, like,
• 1:28:18
  Again, when it's Legends,
• 1:28:20
  they can do what they want,
• 1:28:21
  just like Rogue can do what they want.
• 1:28:23
  It's their event.
• 1:28:25
  And here's the thing.
• 1:28:26
  MSV can always be this type of event,
• 1:28:28
  and Legends can always be the heavy event,
• 1:28:29
  and Magic City can be the one with
• 1:28:33
  the bike and the swim and whatnot.
• 1:28:38
  Now you're the games,
• 1:28:39
  and there's way too much pressure and eyes
• 1:28:43
  put on you.
• 1:28:43
  To me,
• 1:28:46
  I just don't think you're getting...
• 1:28:49
  the tools from CrossFit to succeed.
• 1:28:51
  And now you've been pigeonholed.
• 1:28:55
  He's going to get shit on,
• 1:28:55
  just like Bob and Joe.
• 1:28:56
  I always felt bad for shitting on Bob
• 1:28:58
  and Joe,
• 1:28:59
  but you have to speak up and give
• 1:29:00
  the feedback about the programming.
• 1:29:02
  And I've tried to make that clear.
• 1:29:06
  I think a lot of it is CrossFit's
• 1:29:08
  oversight issue.
• 1:29:09
  I've tried to always make that clear.
• 1:29:10
  I don't think they're doing a debriefing.
• 1:29:12
  I don't think they're doing...
• 1:29:13
  And they weren't given the tools to
• 1:29:16
  succeed, in my opinion.
• 1:29:21
  Again,
• 1:29:22
  I shit on Bob and Joe because I
• 1:29:25
  did a documentary for them.
• 1:29:26
  They didn't even bother to share it,
• 1:29:28
  look at it.
• 1:29:30
  Made me give them all of my content.
• 1:29:33
  The following year, I got zero access.
• 1:29:38
  That's why I shit on Bob and Joe.
• 1:29:40
  I have my own personal beefs as to
• 1:29:43
  why I do.
• 1:29:47
  I also think that they...
• 1:29:52
  they got lazy after they got the games.
• 1:29:56
  I can see that.
• 1:29:57
  I think, but again,
• 1:29:58
  I think it may have been born out
• 1:29:59
  of frustration and lack of like give and
• 1:30:03
  take with CrossFit.
• 1:30:05
  Like I, I might get lazy too.
• 1:30:06
  Like if you're asked for things and you're
• 1:30:08
  not getting it,
• 1:30:08
  if you ask for a tall rig and
• 1:30:10
  a short rig shows up and you're just
• 1:30:11
  like, F it,
• 1:30:12
  why am I even doing this?
• 1:30:14
  But if you get to that point,
• 1:30:15
  you shouldn't be doing it anymore.
• 1:30:16
  Fair.
• 1:30:17
  It's fair.
• 1:30:18
  I mean,
• 1:30:23
  The fact that there was nothing at the
• 1:30:26
  games this year that even resembled a
• 1:30:29
  game-style workout for Masters was utter
• 1:30:32
  laziness.
• 1:30:35
  The whole wall ball run,
• 1:30:39
  medicine ball run,
• 1:30:40
  and injuring people was laziness.
• 1:30:45
  There was a lot of things that were
• 1:30:46
  lazy.
• 1:30:49
  They are not excused, to my point,
• 1:30:52
  in my book, from being shit on.
• 1:30:57
  And I do think Micah does try to
• 1:30:59
  make things special.
• 1:31:00
  He does try to elevate the workouts to
• 1:31:03
  a point that are better than your local
• 1:31:05
  comp.
• 1:31:06
  But I get... You have swayed me.
• 1:31:10
  The problem is CrossFit HQ oversight and
• 1:31:13
  them...
• 1:31:15
  abstaining from all responsibility but
• 1:31:20
  keeping the money correct i mean we went
• 1:31:23
  through this i told like i did ran
• 1:31:25
  the numbers and i do have tons of
• 1:31:28
  questions for micah because like i clearly
• 1:31:31
  like i don't know how much it costs
• 1:31:33
  to rent a stadium and there i have
• 1:31:35
  so many questions and probably never get
• 1:31:37
  this answer from anyone because no one
• 1:31:39
  will be forthright but like
• 1:31:42
  does it does it cost five hundred thousand
• 1:31:44
  dollars for the weekend to rent rent sap
• 1:31:46
  stadium like what what exactly are we
• 1:31:49
  working with here does it cost a hundred
• 1:31:50
  thousand to rent the desert that asu
• 1:31:53
  campus for the weekend for desert city
• 1:31:55
  class classic i just think if you got
• 1:32:01
  twenty thousand masters to sign up for
• 1:32:05
  your open as
• 1:32:09
  And just like you would have so much
• 1:32:12
  money to work with.
• 1:32:13
  I think CrossFit is killing the community
• 1:32:18
  and just holding on to all this money.
• 1:32:19
  You cannot tell me it's not profitable.
• 1:32:21
  I don't believe it.
• 1:32:26
  Phil B. makes a great point.
• 1:32:27
  You can see what they've done to the
• 1:32:29
  teams.
• 1:32:30
  They don't care about them either.
• 1:32:32
  But at least they pay for them.
• 1:32:36
  But what I do want to say is,
• 1:32:40
  and I just lost it.
• 1:32:44
  Oh,
• 1:32:45
  the one thing I will give Bob and
• 1:32:47
  Joe as a pass for last year is,
• 1:32:51
  I am sure that in Arizona,
• 1:32:53
  they had relationships with who they
• 1:32:57
  worked with there and probably got better
• 1:32:58
  deals on the venues.
• 1:33:02
  And I'm sure Micah has a great deal
• 1:33:05
  in Birmingham because he's been there so
• 1:33:07
  long.
• 1:33:07
  He probably has deals with the Chamber of
• 1:33:09
  Commerce.
• 1:33:10
  He probably has other benefits from being
• 1:33:17
  there for so long.
• 1:33:18
  By CrossFit picking them up and making
• 1:33:20
  them go to San Jose,
• 1:33:22
  to this really expensive hockey arena...
• 1:33:25
  Not only did they say,
• 1:33:27
  take this off of our hands,
• 1:33:28
  but we're going to hand tie you because
• 1:33:30
  we're going to make you do it in
• 1:33:31
  this location at this price.
• 1:33:34
  Over here without getting any benefit of
• 1:33:37
  the ticket sales as a group.
• 1:33:40
  Couldn't even share one third of the
• 1:33:42
  ticket sales and do it in one spot.
• 1:33:45
  When you probably could have added two
• 1:33:46
  days to the venue of an SAB center
• 1:33:49
  for a whole lot cheaper than also running
• 1:33:51
  the convention center.
• 1:33:52
  Makes no sense.
• 1:33:56
  All right.
• 1:33:58
  Well, we're over.
• 1:33:58
  I know.
• 1:34:01
  I'm hot now.
• 1:34:04
  Uh,
• 1:34:05
  do you know what the best part is?
• 1:34:06
  We'll be back next week.
• 1:34:08
  We'll have Mike on here.
• 1:34:09
  You can tell him all your thoughts and
• 1:34:11
  feelings,
• 1:34:13
  and then none of us will get it
• 1:34:14
  to go to the games.
• 1:34:17
  Just kidding.
• 1:34:18
  I don't think he's that way.
• 1:34:19
  I think like he's,
• 1:34:21
  he's open to discussion.
• 1:34:24
  Um,
• 1:34:26
  So we'll have him on.
• 1:34:27
  I encourage you to,
• 1:34:28
  if you care about the masters and you
• 1:34:31
  want to know answers to questions,
• 1:34:34
  be in the chat, ask questions.
• 1:34:39
  Other Masters podcasts have had them on,
• 1:34:41
  but they're not live.
• 1:34:42
  They don't give you the opportunity to ask
• 1:34:45
  the questions.
• 1:34:46
  We're going to give you that opportunity
• 1:34:47
  next week.
• 1:34:49
  With that...
• 1:34:50
  Put some in this show that you want,
• 1:34:52
  so we can be prepared with some questions,
• 1:34:53
  if you have some burning questions that
• 1:34:55
  you want answered.
• 1:34:56
  Yeah, we've got a few,
• 1:34:58
  but if you want some,
• 1:34:59
  go ahead and throw them in the comments
• 1:35:02
  below,
• 1:35:03
  and we'll prep those up for Micah next
• 1:35:05
  week.
• 1:35:06
  With that,
• 1:35:06
  we'll see everybody next time on...
• 1:35:10
  Sunday, Sunday,
• 1:35:11
  Sunday night CrossFit talk.
