We cover the sport of CrossFit from all angles. We talk with athletes, coaches and celebrities that compete and surround in the sport of CrossFit at all levels. We also bring you Breaking News, Human Interest Stories and report on the Methodology of CrossFit. We also use the methodology to make ourselves the fittest we can be.
Well,
we got a whole lot of stuff happening
this weekend.
Can't wait to get into all of it
next.
From the gym to the screen, yeah,
we cover it all.
Midday motivation every time you press
call.
Lunch with the Clydesdale.

What is going on, everybody?
We got the Fred Flintstone back today.
Ah, so pumped for that.
What is going on?
What is going on?
Shelly Young is on her way to Birmingham.
Good luck this weekend.
The workouts look so much fun.
I hope you have a blast getting this
opportunity to compete on such a big
stage.
I've got so many friends heading down
there or up there or over there.
Can't wait to tune in and watch everybody
this weekend.
So what is going on?
What is going on?
Joseph Ramirez, my hair looks great.
Thank you.
It looks tight.
Tight.
Thank you.
I feel like a hundred times better.
It was getting so, so long.
I told myself I wasn't going to get
my hair cut until I got my heart
fixed.
And if that meant it was going to
be all the way down to my waist,
so be it.
But that's what we're going to do.
But now the ticker's doing well,
got the haircut, and now I feel awesome.
And especially when I'm traveling, like,
I like it so short and tight that
I can just go.
Just go quick.
When it's long, man,
just trying to manage it is nearly
impossible.
Yeah,
not that you guys are here for my
beauty secrets.
So...
But we got Vicki in the chat.
We got Winter.
We've got Meredith.
We've got Shanna.
We've got Joseph Ramirez.
We've got Lito.
Man, Daniel, everybody's in.
Awesome.
So last night I was having some kind
of indigestion thing.
Couldn't sleep.
Caught up on a couple episodes of American
Gladiator.
and uh on the last episode i watched
i think it's episode five finally jordan
chef's crossfit semifinal athlete was a
contestant on episode five what i found
interesting in that episode is they put
her up against danny spiegel in all in
every event i think she went up against
spiegel in every event and i was trying
to think were they ever at the same
semi-final together
I'm sure they were both at Wadapalooza and
have competed against each other in the
past.
But I found it really kind of cool
and ironic that they put them up against
each other in every event.
Now, for the first four episodes,
when they showed Dani on the screen,
where she came from, they put CrossFit.
On episode five, when Jordan was on,
now they said that she came from CrossFit
and she talked about it.
She talked about her journey with that.
They changed Spiegel's to say
powerlifting.
So I don't know if they didn't want
like two CrossFitters competing against
each other.
or to talk that much about CrossFit,
but it was,
I just was a weird thing that I
noticed because I'm just looking for what
kind of exposure this thing outside of our
space is giving to what we do.
One of the other contestants was
definitely a CrossFitter.
They announced another one was, but yeah,
it's,
and usually crossfitters do so well in
these made for tv fitness competitions um
i don't want to spoil it for anybody
who hasn't seen it but i've known jordan
a long time there's an interview with her
on this channel kat did it back in
the day um i've interviewed her at events
she's she's just a really uh
I say good kid because I'm so old,
but she's just a really nice lady.
And it was fun watching her on the
screen.
So the other thing I'll say about American
gladiators that became very obvious to me
last night was Spiegel is just more
athletic than the other gladiators.
The other ones have a lot of muscle
and strength and all of that stuff.
Spiegel just looks way more athletic than
the others.
I'm anxious to know if anybody else has
watched the show at all and has gotten
that...
gotten that impression um but that's
that's kind of where where i i am
with it right now that danny just is
way more athletic than the other
gladiators especially on the women's side
um uh daniel arnson uh crossfit builds a
perfect athlete i think danny had the
right base though
Because in CrossFit,
everything is forward and backward.
More forward than backward with very
little lateral.
And there are pieces of this gladiator
thing where you have to have lateral
movements and quick and fast lateral
movements.
And I think her base with whatever she
did growing up gave her that like quick
twitch side to side thing.
And it really shows in the gladiator
thing,
especially against the other gladiators.
So, yeah,
I do think CrossFit really prepares people
for other things.
better than anything else in the world,
and that includes these made-for-TV
fitness competitions.
Doing CrossFit prepares you for those,
and it makes you ready to do whatever
you need to do in those situations.
So speaking of Dani Spiegel,
she is probably currently in London right
now getting ready for the WFP.
That happens this weekend.
That is being streamed live on YouTube
this weekend.
Carolyn landed this morning,
I believe it was.
And she sent this video that I want
to share with you guys.
And so this is the venue they are
competing at.
And I don't know if you can see
this in the background,
but it is one large video screen from
floor to about double rig height.
Carolyn's been told that that's going to
have rep counters on it.
And so like there is an event where
there is a
four-time,
seventy-five or hundred-calorie echo bike.
The athletes will be facing that video
wall as they are doing it,
and they'll see the reps counting up
across all the lanes as they're doing the
echo bike.
That innovation may be something that
makes watching
athletes on a machine watchable as you'll
be able to see the reps count up
and know where everybody is.
Plus it's going to increase the intensity
of the athlete who can see where all
their competitors are.
So I'm excited to see how that plays
out in real life.
But man, it is, it is massive.
this is a great demonstration that WFP is
not pulling back any money at all.
They are going full bore into season two
with all the bells and whistles they can.
Also,
I don't know if you can see this
up here,
but there are TV screens and they mounted
them all around the arena and
and they have a clock on them,
and they have some video display.
So you'll be able to see the video
feed while you're sitting in the stands.
Daniel says,
I'm no WFP fan or Will Morad at
all, but that's cool.
they have brought forth some really cool
innovations to this and i think if they
can find their right footing of what they
become and what they are i i think
they it can be a long lasting
thing for the space it is a great
tool for young athletes to earn some money
and pay for a couple seasons to gain
experience to then shoot for the crossfit
games
Um, uh, Lito says,
so when the Athens throwdown had that a
couple of weeks ago for all their
divisions, including scaled,
I had a friend of mine who I
helped coach compete there.
And she said it was awesome.
Athens throwdown also collaborated with
WFP.
So maybe that was them testing it there.
That that's pretty smart to go to like
a, a lower level competition,
test out the technology before you bring
it in and put it up and do,
uh, this really cool thing.
So maybe,
maybe they're getting their ducks in a row
this season and, um,
And we'll see what happens.
Again, when it started last year,
I wanted it to succeed more than anything.
They made it hard to keep defending them
throughout the season.
And maybe this year,
now that they've got it figured out,
my only criticism going into the week
is... I'm going to share another screen.
Is...
This is the lineup of female athletes for
the weekend.
So you have your twenty pros up on
top and then you have your thirty
challengers down below.
That's a lot of athletes to get through.
If you've ever been to a Masters
competition watching that many athletes go
through
I mean,
because it looked like a traditional
ten-lane floor.
You're talking five heats of women,
five heats of men.
They're doing teams.
They're doing, I think,
like a scale division of some sort.
It's insane.
So our very own Carolyn Prevost is there.
She is competing to earn her pro card.
And then you have names like Laura Horvat,
Amy Kringle, Ariel Loewen, Emma Tall,
Kerstetter, Sydney Wells, Annika Greer.
Annika Greer, I think, is at Copa Sur.
So she's actually not there.
Lydia Fish, Emily Rolfe.
I talked to Emily briefly this morning.
She's doing three straight weeks of
competition.
I don't know if that's ever,
ever been done.
in in the crossfit realm competing three
state straight weekends um she says her
body's holding up but she's tired so
always rooting for emily always rooting
for emily um
So, yeah,
this is the lineup they have posted.
Yeah, Craig,
I saw her on the Copa Store leaderboard,
so I know she's in South America right
now.
And then if I go to the men's
side, again, it's the same thing.
We have a bunch of men.
and a bunch of challengers.
And then on this,
they have Colton Mertens listed.
I've heard that he is not going.
So that's one less on the pro side
that will be there.
So it is,
but it should be a fun competition.
They've got some big names there.
Again, it's just the five heat thing.
I just think they have to get right-sized.
It was a great move removing the fact
that the challengers did less weight and
less of a workout and earned half the
points to just opening it up where
everybody who qualifies can earn the same
amount of points.
So, we'll see.
Um...
David Reed said the games did something
similar for the marathon row.
Too bad it hasn't been done since.
Yeah.
They actually had like the pictures of the
boats going across the screen.
That was awesome.
I've been clamoring for something similar
to that with ergs and machines ever since.
And Lito says, yeah,
that was a concept two thing for the
ergs.
This is pretty cool as it's essentially
live scoring, which is pretty awesome.
And Shay wants to know if Colton would
have went had he qualified for the games
from Mayhem.
I've actually heard that he has a little
niggle and that he is nursing that so
that he's prepared for later in the
season.
And that is just rumor.
I haven't talked to Colton or his camp
at all.
Seeing the cows on a screen from the
Echo Press with Tim Paulson a few years
ago would have been epic.
It really would have.
Ortega.
He's hurt.
I was using the Lucy Campbell term.
Sorry.
So we have that going on this weekend.
We have Copasaur.
And so I have that up.
I believe they're going to be live
streaming as well,
but generally when they live stream,
it is in Spanish.
So if you are fluent in your high
school Spanish,
you'll be able to follow along.
Here's the list of participants at
Copasor.
You have Andrea Pinheiro, Annika Greer.
I know Trista Smith is there.
Miley Wade.
And then on the men's side,
it's really just after looking,
we have Jorge Fernandez.
We have Keike Cervini.
Kalen Souza.
Those look to be like your top three.
Pedro Martins is actually pretty decent.
So that's your probably top four down at
Copasor.
So that's going on at Copasor this
weekend.
It is a heavy, heavily programmed event.
Very similar to some of the complaints we
had at Legends.
You could say the same thing about
Copasor.
And then finally,
we have the Far East Throwdown this
weekend.
Not finally,
but we also have the Far East Throwdown.
And I went to the wrong thing.
Hold on one second.
There we go.
So here's the leaderboard for Far East
Throwdown.
Ariel Sanders is a beast.
She's done well at Crash a couple times.
Ashley Cope is a longtime games semifinal
athlete.
Adwan Young has represented the Far East
before.
So this is a list of the athletes.
Samantha Pugh, EMOM athletes, Surya Meha.
That looks like your lineup over in the
Far East for the women.
And on the men's side,
I don't recognize a lot of the names,
I'm going to be honest.
The Far East I have not delved into
as much.
But I do know Matt Brady, great guy.
I know Max Krieg.
They'll be competing there.
Riley Martin will be there.
So got a couple names there that I
know.
Mostly semifinal level athletes trying to
get their first ticket to the CrossFit
Games.
so um so there you have it those
are those three are going on and then
we have magic city happening here in the
states a lot of my friends have been
traveling in we talked about shelly at the
top of the show uh corey is heading
there now uh lauren olsen is heading in
there uh kate
Kate said in there, I can't,
I can't always get her Instagram mixed up
with a real last name.
I think it's McGee.
Kate McGee is going to be there.
Uh, she usually,
she drops in the chat periodically.
That's going to be a fun one.
And, uh,
currently Birmingham is sixty-five degrees
and breezy.
That sounds pretty good.
Pretty good for that bike ride.
The one thing I did want to point
out with Magic City is that everybody's
saying that they're not really
broadcasting everything.
And that is true.
That is true.
Is that true?
It is true.
It is truly true.
But they are doing a lot of the...
They are doing a lot of the events
and a lot of the divisions.
They're just streaming one floor.
So if you look at the stream,
they have this out on their Instagram.
And you can see starting at eight forty
five,
they're doing forty to forty four year old
women,
forty five to forty nine women and sixty
plus women.
And then at eleven forty,
they're doing thirty five to thirty nine
women.
Then at one twenty,
they're doing fifty five to fifty nine
men, sixty to sixty four men.
And then forty five to forty nine and
fifty to fifty four men.
And then finally, you can see.
At four fifty,
they're doing thirty five to thirty nine
men.
So it kind of moves around what they're
covering, what divisions,
what's going on and.
so it's going to bounce around a lot.
And again,
this one's going to be on flow elite.
So you can catch it there, but they,
I,
I did hear on the glintons the other
day,
I think Megan Joseph are saying that they
were only going to cover thirty five to
thirty nine.
That isn't really what they're doing.
What they're doing is just they're only
covering one of the two floors and
um and so that's kind of what they're
doing so train olive asks you think flow
elite will get it together for magic city
stream i don't know i i think that
there are legitimate excuses and i don't
even want to call them excuses there are
legit reasons why streams don't go off as
well as you want and that is
If you've ever traveled and needed
bandwidth internet,
which I have done trying to cover this
sport, it is very difficult for venues,
arenas,
to give you the bandwidth of internet that
you need.
And you were at the mercy of that
venue.
And for some reason,
they always protect it like it's gold bars
at Fort Knox.
I used to do conferences for an
organization I belong to.
Getting internet was the hardest part of
setting up a conference.
They protected it like it was gold.
You couldn't get them to release it.
It is ridiculous.
ridiculous.
And so I think that is really what
the dependency is, uh,
trained and that is on the internet and
what they're giving, uh,
and what they're giving them or whoever's
doing the broadcast because flow leads
really just the platform it's going to air
on.
If you watch Legends,
it was all produced by the Sevon crew
and just put on the Flow Elite platform.
So Flow is only giving them the platform
to put it on.
So I don't...
As much as I have bad-mouthed Flow Elite
because of my PTSD from Wadapalooza in the
teens, I...
A lot of the weekend ran pretty well
on my app.
Shelly said,
I'm happy they are streaming anything at
all.
And at least they already put out the
schedule so people could decide if it was
worth paying for.
Yep.
I was going to live stream,
but I don't want to ruffle feathers.
Yeah.
Yeah.
See, I think that's a weird line, Larry,
though, at Magic City.
If they are not streaming it,
then you're not taking away from the
actual stream.
Right?
So if they're only streaming floor one and
you wanted to stream floor two,
I don't find an issue with that.
where I find the issue is if they
are streaming the event on floor one,
you probably shouldn't give a free version
of the same stream that is against like
YouTube policy, probably Instagram policy,
copyright law, all of that stuff.
Um,
Joseph says,
don't forget to join Scoot for dinner with
the Clydesdale on the glintons tonight.
Yeah.
Or call me Scott, Scott or Scoot.
I answered to both.
Ortega brought,
I can't even upload ten photos to
galleries with venue internet.
You are absolutely correct.
Absolutely correct.
That is how bad the internet is at
some of these events.
Larry says,
I'm sure if I stream the bike event,
Shelly will make Chase's top ten.
Train says,
I'm giving them one more shot before I
cancel.
Well,
what does it hurt to give them one
more shot now?
You've already paid for the month, right?
So you might as well watch the two
events that are in this first month,
see how it goes.
It's no extra money to watch the second
event in the month.
But here's my thing about the stream and
the paying for it and all of that
stuff.
We were spoiled when CrossFit came into
play.
We were spoiled because it boomed so fast
and Reebok threw so much money at it
that
you could watch everything for free and it
was of the highest quality.
Now we're realizing as we are right-sizing
to this with far less sponsorship,
with far less disposable income to take
all this on,
that we may have to resort to a
paid subscription to watch the sport that
we love.
And I've said it a million times.
It costs thirty bucks for me and my
wife to go to the movies and get
a bucket of popcorn.
And that's a two-hour entertainment.
With this, even Magic City,
I'm getting three days of probably eight
hours of entertainment that I can watch
for thirty bucks.
And I also already watch Legends for eight
hours a day for three days.
all for the same thirty dollars and these
event organizers who are losing their
shirts on events getting supplemented by
flow elite is a good thing it's a
good thing because forever we weren't
getting anything streamed they just said
screw it we can't afford it we're not
going to stream it
At least now with this,
it's out on Flow Elite.
You can go watch it.
Everyone needs to bring their own Starlink
internet.
Venues don't care about internet.
They don't.
They don't.
I believe that the Legends is still up
for replay.
I don't know that for a fact.
While I'm talking to you,
I will try to pull that up.
I have the app on my phone.
It's just probably not in the same spot.
Yep.
Legends is still up for replay.
Hell,
they still have Wadapalooza videos from
dated as the most recent Wadapalooza with
four hundred and forty five videos is
February twenty seventh of twenty twenty.
You can go back and watch Wadapalooza
videos on Flow Elite.
They have the granite games from twenty
nineteen.
They have TFX from twenty nineteen.
So not only can you go back and
watch legends,
they don't it doesn't look like they ever
delete this stuff off.
So.
So you can watch stuff forever on here,
apparently.
If I can still go back and watch
all of those events from the teens.
Personally,
I'm glad it's streaming anywhere and glad
it's a way to generate revenue.
I agree with you, Larry.
I agree with you wholeheartedly.
I'd pay immediately behind a thirty dollar
membership on YouTube directly to the
owner's channel.
I'm not paying a third party host just
because they fronted the money voting with
my wallet, as they'd say.
Well,
I think if either one was an option,
I'd be OK with that.
But with Flow Elite,
if everybody kind of band together and all
the events,
like all eleven semifinals said we're
going to be on Flow Elite,
that thirty dollars becomes spread out
over those eleven events,
where if you have to do it for
every YouTube channel that's broadcasting,
that could get way more expensive than
Flow Elite.
I don't care if I have to pay
as long as the quality is good,
especially when Mayhem stream was free and
good quality.
Mayhem has disposable income.
Other events do not.
Mark says, I'm okay with that, Scott.
I'm old.
I can afford a few bucks.
I think we're just in this weird space
right now.
Where you have some people doing it one
way, some people doing it another way.
And so it's spreading us thin in where
we direct who we support.
Right?
So that's, I think, where we need to...
Hopefully, give it another year.
Maybe next year,
all of these semifinals can be broadcast
on Flow Elite.
You pay one fee and you get it
all.
You get it all.
And then it just becomes part of what
we do.
But if we pay the separate channels,
the organizer would get the money directly
and I'd pay for that actually.
But we don't know how much the organizers
got in the deal with Flow Elite.
I don't know the financials on that.
Apparently it was enough to go with them.
They had already hired Savon and crew to
come in.
Putting it on the platform was just giving
them extra money to the pot.
our country we're full of middlemen in
this world full of middlemen and it's okay
if it gives us one place to look
for everything i would i would pay for
the convenience of not having to dig
around and find out like this weekend i
gotta find where copa sur is i gotta
find out where far east is
At least I know WFP is on YouTube
and I know that Magic City is on
Flow Elite.
It's just,
I would pay money for a convenience.
And I would pay money to put into
the ecosystem to help the whole thing out.
And I think the one point that people
are missing is when we're on YouTube,
it's just us CrossFitters that are finding
it.
these events are not being pushed by the
algorithm to other people.
When you're on Flow Elite,
there's twenty-five other sports on there.
People are looking through the menu and
they see these people doing crazy,
athletic, superhero things.
And maybe that is promoting CrossFit in a
way that YouTube doesn't.
Right?
Like, does that make sense?
Mark says, ironically,
YouTube is the middleman of my suggestion.
Yeah, if you guys only knew how much,
what percentage YouTube takes from every
super chat,
from every membership that we put in,
YouTube takes their cut.
And it's probably more than you expect it
to be.
I think the point is that quality was
shit.
I think the other point we're forgetting
is it was the first one.
It was the first one on this new
app.
And there's going to be some time to
figure shit out.
And we have to let them do that.
so uh quads like roe quads like roe
i support corinne barry mcconner wants to
know what happened with corinne it's a
whole thing you'd have to go to instagram
there there was a statement made on dense
updates about corinne live streaming an
event that was behind a paywall and
It has turned into a big beef,
just like everything else in the CrossFit
space on the internet.
It's just a lot to keep up with.
Again,
I love the content that people put out.
And when the feuds take up all of
that content space,
then I get frustrated because I love
Jenny's content.
I love Dallin Pepper's content,
but instead of getting their normal
content, we're getting a feud.
And there are some people that love that
stuff and are tuning in all the time.
For me, and this is for me alone,
I'm only expressing my views.
For me, it's too much.
I just want the content you are awesome
at.
Why does this have to be a beef?
Why can't Corinne live stream?
Shannon,
you're trying to suck me into the beef.
I don't.
So what it is,
is the event organizers got money from
Flow Elite to broadcast the legends.
Corinne live streams the main elite men's
heat.
because she's streaming Dallin.
People didn't buy the Flow Elite because
they could watch the men's heat through
Corinne's stream.
So the argument is that that is taking
money away from the ecosystem and
supporting the events that are trying to
put this on.
At the end of the day,
I think Corinne is just trying to film
her husband so that they have a full
footage shot so family can see him and
him alone.
But I saw a lot of people saying
that rather than pay,
they just watched everybody's live
streams.
So I think it's,
I can see both sides.
I actually kind of lean on you shouldn't
be able to live stream at an event
that is behind a paywall.
If you were at any other sporting event,
you wouldn't be allowed to do it.
It's easy to break it down to this
simple thing, Trent.
It's easy to break it down to that
on the humanistic side.
But if my wife is playing in the
WNBA and I live stream her,
that's against copyright law.
It just is.
George Wang, you have to have Prime, ESPN,
NBC Peacock to follow your favorite NBA
team in the playoffs.
You do.
Watching hockey, I'd have HBO Max.
I'd have ESPN.
All of that.
It's hard to keep up with the feuds.
It's exhausting.
Let's just keep putting out CrossFit
content.
No drama from high school.
Well,
I don't even like to call it high
school because I... I don't know.
I don't even know where to go with
this at this point.
It's frustrating for me because I love the
content that everybody puts out.
And I am not someone who dives into
the drama.
Um, but I know that that,
that stuff brings so many clicks to the
game and it's never going to go away.
The drama is in every sport.
Diana Rossini and Mike Frabel situation
has been alive for three weeks,
getting the most clicks,
getting the most views in the NFL.
And we just had the NFL draft where
two hundred and eighty kids just got the
shot of their life to be able to
play in the NFL.
And instead of talking about that,
we're talking about an alleged affair
between a reporter and a coach.
So this is not just CrossFit.
um corinne didn't provide grundler and
pool boys commenting commentating she got
more eyes on crossfit if we don't have
sponsors and we don't have people pay
money to the event organizers the whole
thing is going to go away
Go away.
If there's no money to back this,
and right now,
apparently Flow Elite is offering money
that makes a difference in whether an
event breaks even or loses money.
So you can justify it all you want
with she's only doing this because it's
her husband.
She's only doing this because her family
wants to see Dallin compete.
I get all that.
I get it.
But at the end of the day,
you cannot do that if there's copyrighted
material being broadcast by another
entity.
quads like ro we we are we are
not here to judge intent judging intent
gets us into trouble i agree the drama
is a snooze fest
People don't seem to realize that what she
did was against copyright laws,
trying to do it at other professional
sporting events and see what happens.
I agree.
Joe and Bob just don't have the lawyers
and the cash to take on this fight.
AZ Zaki says,
is there a copyrighted material?
I am sure if you go on the
flow elite app and you go in there,
there is some kind of legalese that you
signed when you got into the app that
any reproduction of this event, blah,
I'm sure the tickets.
And if they didn't,
then that's on them too.
I don't, I don't know.
I don't know.
I think the agreement between Legends and
Flow Elite is that Flow Elite got to
own the content.
So, I don't know.
Again,
this is not a subject matter that I'm
super interested in.
I think at this point,
it was a one-off mistake.
I think that going forward,
either flow or event organizers are going
to make it clear what is allowed and
what isn't allowed from the pits.
And so at this point,
I think it just happened.
The feud, I don't understand.
I think it should be just swept under
the rug and let's move on and let's
get it right or better the next time.
But it is what it is.
Trent says,
I've seen other people live stream other
events like Guadalupalooza.
But were those events live streamed by
another entity or company?
was behind a paywall like that there's a
whole bunch of these elements ortega i
don't i don't think it's nothing i don't
think it's nothing we have been spoiled in
this space to be able to watch everything
for free that is not the way of
the world it's not the way of sport
you have to pay to watch
It's the only way it will survive longer
than the next few years.
You need to have money to support
everything that's going on.
And taking away that is only going to
hurt in the long run.
Instead of please don't do this,
it was singling out and being a jerk
about it.
That's the issue, I guess.
Again,
I'm not into the drama part of this.
If Joe and Bob had a problem with
it, they should have talked to her.
So I do agree with that, Mark,
that if the event organizers had an issue
with it,
they should have spoke to her personally.
And it didn't need to be.
But again,
as long as it brings people to the
table,
people are going to continue to do this.
And that's fine.
I guess there's a space for it.
I don't watch Love Island,
but plenty of people do.
Putting CrossFit behind a paywall is
taking away viewers from a pool that was
already too small to begin with.
But George, you're missing the point.
Taking away the money means CrossFit goes
away completely.
This is a revenue stream that someone has
figured out and we are not where we
were ten years ago.
Free is not an option.
The only option is find new revenue
streams or close shop.
So bitching about thirty bucks a month.
Don't pay it.
Don't watch it.
But these event organizers need the
revenue streams.
Aside from the Corinne Pepper thing.
Aside from all that.
We bitch about these streaming services,
but it is the way of the future.
It's the only way this sport will survive
at all.
It's the only way to bring a revenue
stream in because they are maxing out what
they're charging the athletes to come in.
They are maxing out what they're asking
the spectators to pay.
There are no other revenue streams,
and sponsors are not what we used to
have.
That is it.
That is it.
People want super high quality streams
with all the bells and whistles,
but don't want to pay any money for
it.
Ding, ding, ding.
And soon there won't be anything to watch
anyway if we keep this up.
With that, I'm heading out of here.
Don't forget to buy your third Z if
you need to recover this weekend or
recover from my little rant.
Get some third Z.
It's fifteen percent off.
Use code Jazzy at checkout or go to
third Z dot com backslash Jazzy so you
can get a good night's sleep tonight and
come back tomorrow and fight with me about
all of this stuff.
With that,
we should have some actual competition to
talk about by the time we hit the
air tomorrow.
And then in addition to that, tonight,
five thirty p.m.
Eastern Time,
dinner with the Clydesdale and the
Glintons.
I'll be on the Glintons podcast,
Glinton Things podcast, five thirty p.m.
Eastern Time.
I hope to see you there.
Have a great day, everybody.
And it's been fun, kind of.
