We're going to talk about all that next.
what is going on everybody welcome to
sunday sunday sunday night crossfit talk
there we're back another week another
sunday we're here the timing of that
sunday one was good today sometimes you
have to like you're a little slow
sometimes but you're on it was perfect
today yeah i actually hit it before i
finished talking oh that's that's the
trick right there
Yeah, yeah.
We got CrossFit.
We've got Terry.
We've got Meredith.
We've got Trent.
All of the spin came in to say
there's lots of news breaking.
Trust me,
trying to keep up with the day is
crazy.
CrossFit is officially withdrawing from
this show.
Like you're having withdrawals?
What?
Oh, no.
He's like the WFP.
Oh.
Kipping it real came here to say fire
Mike Tomlin because my wife said,
who is Mike Tomlin?
If he wins another game,
he'll be the tenth winningest coach in NFL
history.
But that's debatable after the way they
performed tonight.
But speaking of football,
my Chicago Bears are currently sitting as
the number one seed in the NFC.
Are you kidding me?
I did not have that on my bingo
card this year.
Right.
Me neither, but they're doing so good.
And now they're starting to beat some good
teams.
Some good teams.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
Everybody's talking about the DBE thing.
We are definitely going to get into that.
That's wild.
Is it?
Yes.
Is it?
Yes.
Yes.
We'll get into that when we get there.
So, yeah,
we've got a lot of people in the
chat.
Being the second winningest comes with
twenty million and a twenty four year old
cheerlead.
Very, very.
Yes.
Yes.
That is.
Cross that that may be the wildest story
in the last two years.
Bill Belichick retiring from or leaving
the NFL,
hooking up with a twenty four year old
cheerleader.
It's weird.
It is just weird.
It is weird.
North Carolina?
Yeah.
And like she's very involved too.
Like in the pregame.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Legal but weird.
Yeah.
Legal but weird.
Yeah.
So weird.
It's weirder and grosser.
The no drama coach, more drama than ever.
Yeah.
I'm glad we don't have that.
My coach just takes off his shirt to
give the whole city of Chicago free hot
dogs.
And if you're not following,
the wiener circle in Chicago said if Ben
Johnson ever took off his shirt in the
post-game celebration,
they would give free hot dogs to the
city of Chicago.
He did it this week in the post
game celebration.
So Tuesday in Chicago,
go to the wiener circle, free hot dogs.
Wow.
Um,
he Williams sucked up my fantasy this
week, this week, I will say.
Yeah,
he's not a great fantasy quarterback.
No.
I had Burrows at the beginning of the
year,
but then once he got his injury and
he was going to be out for months,
I dropped him.
There was no good QBs available.
I think I still have Tua.
Tua was terrible today.
Yeah, I gave up on fantasy.
Jenny says the Wiener Circle sounds like a
fun place.
Yeah, that's interesting.
Yeah.
train all of my my fantasy team is
bipolar yeah am i in last uh i
don't think so you actually started off
with a couple wins not not even knowing
that you drafted anybody or how to switch
players you won i'm annoyed because i like
football a lot and i watch it all
the time so i'm annoyed that like my
team just sucks and i just don't really
know how to play it
Did you all,
I know that in Canada you didn't celebrate
Thanksgiving this week, but Jamie,
did you have a good Thanksgiving?
We had a good Thanksgiving.
Yes.
Yep.
Got with Aaron's side of the family on
Thanksgiving and then hung out with my
sister, um, on Friday night.
So yeah, made the rounds.
That's great.
Uh, Aaron Frazier with a good one.
Isn't that a Colton place?
The wiener circle.
Sounds about right.
Since he sells his wiener dogs.
Mm-hmm.
Andrew says he's last.
First to be eliminated from playoff
contention like three weeks ago.
First in the bottom.
So I was home alone for Thanksgiving
because of the sinus infection and
everything.
And my nephew showed up with Thanksgiving
food.
And it was awesome.
I didn't think I would miss it,
but it was really nice to have it.
And his turkey was moist.
Like I've never had him.
Moist piece of turkey until that day.
Moist.
And it was good.
It was good.
Usually it's dry as a bone.
Right.
So I really appreciate it.
And he had homemade cranberry sauce that
I've never had before.
And it was, I think I'm an addict.
Like if I would go out on the
street and find that stuff.
It was so good.
I tried asking my mom for like the
recipe of like why it's so juicy and
stuff.
And then she was writing this whole thing,
but it's all in French.
And I was like,
I think we just got to make like
a TikTok video or some sort of video
that just easier.
Cause a lot of people, like it just,
they eyeball it.
Right.
Right.
And there were so many things, right.
And I was like, Oh, I can't,
I can't share this.
Larry Young, four ninety nine.
Thank you so much, Larry.
Am I the only one ready for some
open talk?
Yes.
Yes, I am not ready for the open.
It's a little early for that.
We got to wait till after Christmas.
Nicole's asking that we not use the word
moist, but that's what it was.
How am I?
What do you see?
I don't see a moist turkey.
Right, right.
It's not a thing.
Juicy turkey.
Yeah.
We don't, we don't say, yeah,
I don't know where that came from.
It's fine.
In cooking terms.
You always want moist baking.
Maybe.
Kenneth says moist was the proper term.
All the women are like no moist.
Moist cake.
Correct.
Baking.
Yes.
Yes.
okay whatever um kenneth is saying french
or quebecois i don't can't even pronounce
it i'm with carolyn say juicy yeah juicy
tender we've got a tender that's okay too
uh crossfit says soggy meat no can't do
soggy meat
All right.
Well,
I'm glad you guys had a great
Thanksgiving.
We sent my daughter off today to Montana
on the plane.
Lots of tears at the airport.
But it was nice having her home for
nine days.
So that was cool.
And we had a great couple days before
she left.
But it's always sad to say goodbye.
But at least we had her here.
So blessed to have that.
But now back to the work week tomorrow.
So with that...
We'll start with the IF-III debacle.
It happened last weekend.
I didn't get to get your guys' impression
as to your thoughts on it at all.
For people who don't know,
the IF-III Masters Championships were held
in Australia last weekend.
It was a complete cluster of an event.
there were waterfall starts where they
encouraged you not to catch the person in
front of you, which is just insanity.
They had men and women going at the
same time in the same lane,
hoping they wouldn't run into each other.
They had no medical staff.
They had two clocks running and judges
looked at the wrong clocks for some of
the people.
So the times were way off on the
endurance event.
They tried to redo the event and halfway
through said the complaints were so bad
that they just were going to stop it.
But the people who redid it,
that could count for them if they wanted
to,
or they could use their original score.
But if you didn't get a chance,
you just got the original score or you
could choose to not have it count at
all.
And that's just,
that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Um, so I've given my thoughts this week.
I think the most horrific piece of this
is that there was no medical staff.
They're very lucky.
Something didn't happen.
Like, like Miriam that at, uh, that's my,
like just anything, anything can go wrong.
That's crazy to not have any medical
staff.
Yeah.
I can't imagine being the people in
charge.
And then one thing just goes wrong after
the other.
And you're like, okay,
we're going to try and do this.
And then you just don't think about this
and that happens.
And everything that could go wrong, just,
just goes wrong.
And I just,
I think I would just start crying.
Just not even know what to do.
Be like, oh my gosh,
I'm in charge of all of this right
now.
Like everything's going bad.
Oh, that must.
Yeah.
I mean, for a professional person,
event right that where they're trying to
make it to the olympics i don't know
for the masters division but like for the
other for the regular division for the
if-three can't have can't have this kind
of stuff happen who runs it is it
the same people that run the individual
So here's what happened.
So there is the IF-III.
It's a governing body.
They want to be an Olympic sport.
So that was the whole premise of this.
They run it like the Olympics.
The board puts out each event for bid.
and a country and their federation can
choose to then run the event.
Australia won the bid for this event,
and so then they were given the task
of running the event.
However,
I don't think that that means that you
lose oversight as how the event is run.
you're still the brand name of what's
going on and you would want to make
sure that none of that is tainted by
what happens at this event.
They have been running events since twenty
sixteen and pretty good events.
Shanna Bunce,
who is a frequent peer person to chat,
went to their Masters Games two years ago,
said it was super well run,
was one of the best events she's ever
been to.
But then something like this pops off
and it totally damages their credibility
and their name across all of their events
yeah i i didn't know even know that
this event was happening i i've watched
the individual one in years past um but
i guess i didn't even know that the
masters event was happening
Like, like,
like I thought the masters normally
happened the same weekend as the,
but now I know that doesn't.
Yeah.
But yeah, it miscommunication.
I think, you know,
someone was assuming someone else is going
to do something and then a bunch of
assumptions and all of a sudden you're
there and nothing has been organized.
Yeah.
I, I'm glad I wasn't there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, athletes just left.
After it started returning to what it did,
they just left.
That's tough because you spend a lot of
money to go to Australia and do an
event like this to be like, yeah, no,
I'm done.
On top of that, in Europe,
some countries subsidize their athletes
who participate in this.
That's what I was going to say.
A lot of them would be coming from
Europe.
Right.
So there's also government money being put
toward these athletes getting there and
doing this event.
And all of that is hosed by a
poor run event.
I mean,
if you've ever competed ever and you have
a water style event and you tell the
athlete,
try not to catch the person in front
of you,
that just is so counterintuitive to
anything competitive ever.
so i just wanted to get your thoughts
we don't need to spend a lot of
time on it a lot of people have
um there's a lot more big news coming
that we need to dive into but i
just wanted to throw that out there was
it was it live on youtube at all
like
It did not get streamed.
That also fell through.
There was a German contingent there
filming for them in Germany,
and they asked if they could share the
stream, and the German contingent said no.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
So I guess, like,
I think Spin and Hiller got some of
the German footage that showed some of the
stuff,
and you can go to their sites and
see some of that stuff.
But it, yeah.
Again, it was the tip of the iceberg.
There were so many things that were wrong.
Made NorCal look like the gold standard.
I mean, yeah.
I like NorCal.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's just mind-boggling.
I don't know how you...
I don't know how you have any knowledge
about the sport at all and can't think
through some of these things.
Well, there should be like a...
Best practice for any event that's going
on,
some sort of best practice list that
should be to all the directors of those
events.
And in the CrossFit space,
it should be shared between semifinals,
like what you should have done by this
date or how far ahead.
And then they obviously need to implement
something like that.
So this never happens again.
But you should have a list of things
that need to be at every comp.
We have made statements that CrossFit did
not have a lot of oversight at the,
at the age group games,
but they did have some oversight.
They were there.
They were present.
They did look at the workouts.
They may not have changed them,
but in their opinion,
there was nothing there that like this
debacle, right?
Yeah.
It was from oversight and they were, we,
we dogged them,
but at least they didn't let this happen.
yeah they were i mean i think crossfit
would always step in if there's if you're
trying to run two different groups at the
same time on one floor like that's just
it's just not unsafe right well if you
watch the hillar video they tried to do
it saying that they wouldn't run into each
other but there was a point where they
had to cross over right right that and
So anyway, we don't need to cut,
talk about that forever.
Uh,
one more thing before we get into like
the big news of the day.
And that is, uh,
I just found this from a listener who
sent this to me.
Um,
if you guys remember at the H group
CrossFit games, I said,
I heard two rumors and it's what kind
of started the smear campaign accusation.
And that was that there were going to
be six figure contracts next year to try
to attract people back to the WFP and
that they were going to run a full
master's competition next season.
So this comes out for monster games and
like four pages in,
there's a Q and a here,
and I'll try to blow this up because
it's on a graphic.
Is Monster Games still a qualifier for
Legends Championships?
Answer is yes.
We are also now an in-person qualifier for
Desert City Classic and World Fitness
Finals Masters Individual Division.
So it appears to me that there have
been negotiations about the WFP doing a
full masters season next year because,
and now you see that there are,
and it,
and their master season may just be a
qualifier to the finals.
Yeah.
We don't know,
but apparently the monster games are a
qualifier to those world fitness finals
next season.
And so I had heard this rumor when
I was at the age group games,
I was told after I announced that I
heard the rumor that I was just doing
a smear campaign,
but it appears now that there is something
in the works for a master's type season
next year.
My only, my,
my only other thought on this is you've
done so well in the individual side.
It's really time to expand and,
I mean, honestly, as far as pivots go,
and maybe this isn't a pivot,
this was probably always planned,
but I do think this is probably a
smart route to take.
Well,
it would bring more people to their
events.
Exactly.
And the Masters are looking for different
comps in person.
Yeah.
And,
and Jenny talked about what we talked
about before we went on the air.
Uh,
it makes sense because monster was
previously Jason Ainsley's event and he's
also the WFP director.
Right.
Yeah.
We actually,
the three of us talked about that before
we went on the air that it does
make sense that monster games would be a
qualifier for that.
Um,
So there it is.
So when they said I was just making
stuff up for a smear campaign,
there's one piece of evidence to show that
my rumors are starting to come true.
Starting to come true.
We'll see about the six figures when
everybody withdraws and turns down
contracts.
So there's that.
I don't have the pencil, pen,
and because I was at the airport today,
pencil, pen, and Sharpie in the loaded in.
So we're just going to do it off
the cuff.
First pencil, pen,
or Sharpie for the night is the theory
behind a season long test is something
that should be explored as a concept for
future seasons.
And where I came up with this is
Carolyn has argued that the open should
carry over to the quarterfinals.
And then it becomes like a more of
a season long test.
Now we have only if videos are public
and only if videos are public,
like our world,
we can make it whatever we want.
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
Now we've never stretched it on to like
the semis.
Right.
But,
the one thing that I do like about
the concept of WFP is that you have
more tests to throw together to make a
more complete test.
Now, whether they did that or not,
we're going to talk about that in a
second.
So pencil, pen, or Sharpie,
the theory behind a season long test is
something that should be considered for
future seasons.
I believe so.
So I, I, I strongly believe.
Sharpie.
I think all tests are relevant.
I'd say Penn, Penn for sure in CrossFit,
like CrossFit games.
I would venture more towards the pencil
side.
I like,
I love the idea of open quarterfinals to
get you there,
but I do think the games in and
of itself are,
is should be its own test for the
CrossFit games.
I don't, I, for the,
for the CrossFit season,
I wouldn't say it should be every score
wrapped together,
but I do think to get there,
they should wrap them together.
But I do, I totally agree.
I think it should be explored out of
something like if WFP is trying to become
a, these tour stops, like I prefer,
I prefer that system points lending
through the season.
So my idea is that it's Penn because
I think that you could carry it all
the way to semifinals,
but I am in agreement with you that
the games is separate.
It's the qualifier.
Is everything before rolled over?
And maybe semifinals is worth more points
like the WFP did with...
with their final tour stop.
Yeah.
But like open quarters,
semis are double onto the, onto the game.
The games is its own because it is
a ten,
twelve event thing that can be a
standalone test.
The rest of them you're trying to squeeze
into a weekend or a shorter timeframe.
Right.
I think anything that's online is,
can get on the same leaderboard the moment
it's in person even if it's the same
workouts it's very difficult to replicate
the weather the floor distances like all
of that but if you we're all doing
the same open workouts quarterfinals open
or online semifinals those are all
different styles if you had all different
styles of tests they're all relevant
Like, yeah,
the open is light and less skillful,
but not less important.
You still should be able to do a
bunch of burpees and move a light dumbbell
snatch and toaster bars.
And if you're,
if you're gas doing burpees,
but you can do legless rope climbs and
lift heavy,
you don't have good conditioning.
Like those are relevant tests.
As soon as we get to the quarters
and on an online site means everything
gets very heavy and high skill and people
have big holes and
And I think that those tests are valuable.
So anything that's online, public videos,
more scrutiny of the videos,
and they could all play into one large
leaderboard so that the right people get
to the games through an online path,
if you want to go through an online
path.
So Larry Young says pencil because the new
open is such an outlier.
Yes.
For the old open.
I think because it's more not liar,
it's even more important to combine it
with the quarterfinal scores because it's
only three tests because you don't get a
chance to do heavy or you don't get
to do high skill gymnastics.
It's important to keep those cardio pieces
as part of the quarterfinal test that does
have heavy,
that does have high skill gymnastics.
Right.
And the quarterfinals is kind of a
continuation of the open from past where
weeks maybe four and five were more heavy
and had higher skills.
You're just getting a little bit more
tests of that.
Let's say you have five tests in the
quarters that are more skillful and heavy
and three in the open that are less.
Well,
now you have eight tests that we all
took.
Why do only three or four,
like five of them matter?
Makes no sense to me.
Right.
I just think it spreads it out over
eight events now.
You just do it.
Just the people that have done those eight
tests are on the leaderboard together.
Open videos have at it.
Yeah.
So the reason we bring that up is
because that is what the WFP is trying
to do, right?
So we're going to talk about them.
The big breaking news of the day.
It's funny because The Spin just put it
out that,
and it came out in a press release,
that Danielle Brandon has been replaced by
Maribel Gallardo.
Gallardo?
Gallardo.
Gallardo.
um from spain uh holly saw her invite
acceptance on ig this afternoon so we've
been trying to follow it but we the
whole time we saw it we were like
riley bb is supposed to be the next
person up and um and then it turned
out that riley has according to the spins
article uh she has declined her invite and
then maribel is now the choice to go
And Spin put out a poll question earlier
this week,
should a decline of invite be the same
as a withdrawal?
And my response to him off to the
side was, I think a decline is worse.
Yeah, kind of.
because the reason I say that is you're
talking about young hungry athletes who
would be starving for attention and
exposure and they're deciding it's not
worth it.
Yeah.
It's a little,
the time of year and to be told
two weeks before you need to travel out
there right around Christmas.
I can see why some people might have
to decline at this point.
Um,
But yeah,
you would think these people are hungry
for it.
I mean,
maybe they know it's mathematically
impossible,
even if they went and won this,
to get into the twentieth spot.
So why go?
Why spend the money?
And I'm guessing that's the case for these
people who are sitting thirty-eighth
point-wise.
Even if they won,
I don't think they can get twentieth
place.
The people getting backfilled,
like they don't have their transportation
stuff paid for.
Only the twenty athletes, right?
So they're on their pockets there.
Right.
Are they guaranteed money, though,
even for last place,
like at thirtieth place?
I believe so.
So at a minimum, at a minimum,
you can maybe get even.
Maybe.
Probably not.
To Copenhagen for an American?
I mean,
I understand why these Europeans are
taking it, but like...
it's,
it's going to be tough to a tough
sell here two weeks before to push some
Americans over there that don't have
expenses covered.
Yeah.
Cause if it's just like a thousand,
even two thousand won't really cover it.
So it's like at that point,
you're probably best just to take time,
get ready for Christmas or whatever you
want to do for the next year.
It says too big of a risk.
It's like a fighter filling in last
minute.
Um,
just don't think there's a i don't think
there's a net benefit like i don't think
they can like i don't think they can
points wise win a spot so why why
go because guaranteed money to win or like
to go if people keep withdrawing they're
getting closer and closer to twenty
without even going yeah i don't know i
mean maribel's jumped eight spots just in
withdrawals just saying
Yeah, I don't know.
And this is what I would say.
If you see these workouts and this is
your home run, you've got a shot.
No matter where you're at.
Well, that's true.
But if you're Jamie and you see these
workouts, you're like, no,
not even worth my time.
No.
And I think that's what you're seeing with
withdrawals right now.
Danielle Brandon has been fighting a back
injury for as long as I've known her.
And you see these workouts?
She's probably like,
not worth me ruining a season over.
I just came off Rogue that was heavy,
heavy.
And now I see these workouts and I'm
like, not worth it.
And she's up there in points, isn't she?
She is.
She's done well at both of them.
I think she's like...
third or fifth overall.
She's way up there.
I think even if she went and took
last on those three, four events,
I still think she could finish top twenty.
So it is interesting to me because she's
basically saying these events are not
worth...
are not worth me a contract for next
year.
Like I already know I don't want to
participate in this season.
Yeah.
I think what you're seeing right now is
people's decisions.
I think for next year, right.
Whether they're continuing and keeping it
as an option or have given up and
I've already made up their mind next year
that they're doing the game circuit only.
She was fifth by out out of fifty
five points out of first.
Yeah.
Which is nothing with double points.
No.
Yeah,
and just to refresh everybody's memory,
it's Amy Kringle in first,
Lucy Campbell in second,
Laura Horvath in third,
Ariel Lowen in fourth.
It was Danielle Brandon in fifth,
Emma Lawson in sixth,
Emma Tall in seventh.
Emma Tall is still in?
As of now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean,
like some of these people in that range,
even if they're not feeling awesome at
this point,
I feel like might as well go.
Because I think they can,
if they want to participate in this season
next year,
like I think they've done enough to squeak
by.
Is there any additional money?
I don't get how this part works.
So if they've already made their contract,
is there money to win at this particular
event?
Like the thirty K at this one as
well.
And like the same amount that there's not.
Yeah.
No,
there's not a prize purse for this event.
Like,
if Danielle showed up and got twentieth
here,
and that put her into twelfth overall,
she would win twelfth overall's prize
purse from the whole season.
And if that is above her thirty thousand
dollar contract,
then she would get more from the year.
Which,
that's where I feel like people like
Hatfield and stuff,
like
It's a little weird to me that they've
just decided they don't want to
participate in this anymore.
Like they probably could have won some
more money.
Because it's that plus the guaranteed of
wherever you are from the eighty thousand
to twentieth place to ten K for next
year as well.
So you're it's whatever the difference is,
if there is one.
Plus the guarantee of the next year.
Correct.
Yes.
But anything you want on the previous tour
stops goes towards your baseline contract.
So you may already be over that.
If you're Amy Kringle,
you're probably already over your
guarantee.
And everything you make now is way above.
It's more additional money.
My only thought process is a couple of
these people signed big,
like the eighty hundred thousand dollar
range.
And
just are, I mean, no, they,
they can't get anything more out of this.
So they're just taking the money that they
got and being done.
And again,
that's why you don't do things like this.
It has to be merit-based.
Like you have to go earn it.
You can't just give people money.
Well,
it is going to be merit-based going
forward.
And so, yeah,
that was just for the first year.
Yeah.
They had to start somewhere, but
I disagree.
They could have started with an online
qualifier.
But that's over.
We can't go back.
We can't go back.
Now it's merit-based.
It's based on your season.
And they're in such a pickle now.
I don't even know what any of this
is going to mean going forward.
So here are the workouts.
Now, again,
this is supposed to be a season-long test.
And I thought Hiller did a great job
by putting them all on a whiteboard and
showing, like,
this should all be one big test.
And he definitely found flaws in it all,
right?
That there was too much of this,
not enough of that.
And I thought it was a cool exercise
to take two opposite people and predict
kind of where they'd finish and see...
was it a fair test across the board?
Like Landon Collins and Travis mayor are
two opposite type athletes.
And how would they finish?
Okay.
I don't know if you you've seen that,
but yeah.
Logan Collins.
Yeah.
So let's go through the workouts.
I don't have all the,
The other twelve that go with these, nine.
So I don't have the twenty-one.
I just have the final nine.
But let's talk about them.
So we've already talked about the double
swim.
We don't need to go over that again.
Then I think we even talked about the
five rounds for time with the parallette
handstand push-ups and the toes-to-bar and
the axle-bar deadlifts.
Yep.
I think that's a good test.
I like that one.
Then we go to pro...
This is the project one test.
Okay.
Do you want me to go back?
No, no, no.
Did it say it's kipping hands and pushups,
right?
For that one.
I don't think we know.
I don't think they're going to release
that.
I'll assume it is.
Then the third event is the pro project
one event,
which is the whole community is to do.
I just don't get the weight vest.
Like what?
I just think it's like,
it's over programmed.
Yeah.
Why do you need a weight vest for
the first half?
Then take it off.
Like, I don't know.
What does a weight vest do on a
skier?
I mean, it's annoying on the shoulders.
Yeah.
C two bike.
Does it affect your C two bike?
It's just something on your chest to mess
with your breathing.
I feel like you just...
Those vests get annoying.
Yeah, CrossFit.
Nothing like a vested bike or an erg.
Elite fitness.
I just think it's unnecessary.
If you're going to do a cardio event,
do a cardio event.
You already have it with a bunch of
machines in there too.
Adding a weight vest only helps people
that have a little bit more mass anyways
because it's just...
Well, it is sponsored by Five Eleven.
There you go.
That's why it's there.
Right down here,
you can see presented by five, eleven.
So it's sixty fifty calorie C two bike,
eight hundred meter run,
one hundred twenty meter dumb dumbbell
farmer carry eight hundred meter run,
sixty fifty cow ski,
eight hundred meter run.
Then you drop the vest,
sixty sandbag step overs.
So I'm assuming you're holding the sandbag
stepping over a box.
Yeah, like one of these ones.
Mm hmm.
Uh, eight hundred meter run, sixty,
fifty calorie row,
eight hundred meter run,
a hundred and twenty meter sandbag bear
hug carry, eight hundred meter run,
time cap, fifty minutes.
Sheesh.
It's gross.
It's a long event.
I like the, I like it.
I just, I like a long event.
Um, but yeah,
the weight vest is completely unnecessary.
This isn't supposed to be the event that,
like, community-wide does, too.
Yes.
I wonder in the community version if
there's no weight vest and they're trying
to up it for the elites.
And I do think that reps are down.
Okay.
How many people in the community want to
do this workout?
Jamie, Sam Briggs.
Yes.
I guess it is in Europe and Europe
love great capacity, love running,
they're fit.
I understand.
I feel bad for the people judging this
event.
That is awful.
During the eight hundred,
you're not really doing much.
Yep.
You're just waiting until they come back
and hope that they count their laps
correctly.
So my question is,
you've done a double swim with some
machines.
And then this for the third event,
this is the I just feel like your
monostructural.
Pieces are.
I don't know.
I'm just I don't know programming.
I'm just gonna let you guys talk.
I'll shut up.
Well,
I don't think the swimmer is going to
necessarily be the best runner.
I know,
but you're not really testing any skill at
this point.
No.
Except for the handstand pushups.
The parallette handstand pushups.
All right.
Then we go to a one rep max
snatch.
Time cap, eight minutes.
Hate it.
Well, I mean, if you have nine events,
I think a one rep max of something
is fine.
Like in general.
Um, if I had less than that,
then I did.
So they've had a, a max,
a max clean, a max jerk,
a max snatch.
That's a ton of favoring the strength
athletes.
When you add these up over all the
events and all the points go towards this
fight.
Like that's crazy.
Yeah.
And that clean ladder is almost like a
max too.
Exactly.
Yeah.
then the fifth event is a hundred wall
balls hundred fifty weighted double unders
fifty weighted ghd sit-ups hundred and
fifty weighted double unders hundred
pull-ups time cap eighteen minutes gnarly
i'm i like this one's okay like out
of the out of all the events of
the this weekend i i like this one
or the parallel hand sample
Yeah, I agree.
This one's fine.
I personally don't like the weighted GHG
setups.
I've never liked them.
I don't know why we keep doing them.
At least it's only fifty.
They've done it twice, yeah.
Weighted double unders, that's fine.
I'm assuming it's the Valitez maybe rope?
Yeah.
Because that's sponsor.
Yep.
So I don't know that skipping rope,
if it's heavy handles, heavy cables,
or which one it is.
This one's okay, though.
I wonder if they have to use the
rope.
This is where Colton had the issue with
the Velita's rope.
At the games.
Oh, it was at the games.
It wasn't this.
Okay.
CrossFit says,
this is in reference to the one Ripmac
snatch.
Great for socials.
The other strengths were balanced with the
second piece.
I mean, it can be great for socials.
It can be awful for socials too.
If you have a,
a Brooke Wells incident or, I mean,
you just,
we get picked on by the high level
Ali IG people pulling up our videos and
rehashing our lifts.
Like they're not perfect.
Maybe, maybe we don't need to do these.
The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
the, the,
People get away with the chest of our
two though.
They don't actually touch their chest.
You think they like a loose shirt?
Yes.
I feel like most people are like shirtless
now by that,
by this point in the workout.
Well, that's true.
Except for me on the floor.
The thing about a hundred pull-ups too,
like that's nothing for an elite athlete.
When it's a dense set like this,
like that muscle stamina starts,
because it'd be different if it's like ten
rounds of ten, fifteen, you know, five,
fifteen, ten, right?
Like the intensity is up higher,
but like having dense sets like that of
hundred, you can overdo it on...
Like at the,
at the end of a workout.
Like, I mean, what was it at crash?
Carolyn went last year.
Was it fifty chest of ours?
Because people were doing like ones and
twos at the end of that workout.
Yeah, but I'm saying regular pull-ups.
Like I remember in the regional days when
like Camille did eighty to start off a
set.
Like it's different than a chest of ours.
Not at the end of the workout.
It's not, I think it's going to,
you have wall balls will get your
shoulders fatigued.
Then the heavy double runners will get
your grip fatigued a lot,
grip and shoulders.
But that heavy, that heavy rope is,
is affecting your grip to then go into
the pull-ups like this.
This will,
they won't be doing a set of eight.
I don't think you're going to, yeah.
You're not going to see somebody go do
two sets here.
Like it's going to get broken up.
CrossFit says,
now we know why Caro wears oversized tees.
They're not oversized tees.
They're regular tees.
Some of the girls wear very large tees.
I'm just a regular t-shirt girl.
All right.
Sixth, buy-in of a thirty-six meter run.
We've talked about that online.
What a buy-in.
At first,
when I was running eighteen meters,
I was like,
Eighteen meters buy-in?
I'm like, what is this?
Five rounds of twelve meter handstand walk
obstacle.
Thirty-six meter shuttle run.
Buy-out six meter handstand walk obstacle.
Six meter.
We don't have the details of the obstacle.
Is it zigzag?
Is it the stair with the
with the ramp um so i guess well
i didn't look at the videos on youtube
or their video but after five rounds of
doing the obstacle for twelve meters each
round yeah why not just have them run
to the end i'm assuming you have to
finish that last little obstacle before
versus running on top of the obstacle
that's how i visualize it right now okay
I don't,
it's going to come down to just execution
of execution and speed of the, um,
handstand obstacle,
because if you jog really fast, well,
then are you able to kick up and
go into these obstacles?
Winded high heart rate upside down to be
able to repeat.
So someone like Danielle would be great at
this, right?
Cause she's a great runner and amazing on
her hands under that high heart rate or
area.
We'll crush this.
Um, yeah, but.
Yeah,
it's going to come down to the execution
and what those obstacles are.
Actually,
someone like Andrea Solberg could be very,
very impressive here.
If you've ever seen that girl do some
obstacle stuff on her hand,
like it's crazy.
Then the seventh event,
we have five rounds for time,
two rope climbs,
three hundred meter run and cleans.
And it is a ladder, a four, three,
two, one,
one with increasing weight on the bar each
time.
unnecessarily heavy.
This should have just been a clean ladder
or just go.
I mean, this is just silly to me.
What's interesting is like when you start
going heavy like this,
you normally want to,
some people like to lift and lifters,
but then it's paired with rope climbs and
run.
You can't wear running shoes because that
ruins the,
like the shoes for your rope climbs.
So you're wearing trainers here.
Um, and sometimes, especially in a school,
like let's say squat clean, um,
You'll see some misses just because people
would prefer to lift those heavyweights
with their lifters.
So how often do people train these loads
without their special shoes, right?
Right.
I mean, in the first event,
we had the run, rope climb, snatch.
No, you had the run, ring muscle-ups,
and snatch.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Is what I'm thinking of.
But that was a light snatch.
It was a lighter snatch.
I wouldn't say it was light.
People were failing that last bar.
Not because it wasn't light,
just because they had gone to their max
capacity with the ring.
I would say it was the right weight.
Any heavier,
you would have actually had to back off
of the workout to be able to hit
that bar.
It was a weight that you could go
touch and go,
but it probably wasn't worth it until the
last round when you try to go for
it.
Um, but yeah, these, these weights are,
are very heavy.
Um, ridiculously heavy,
especially with the field that's coming
now.
I don't know how many, I mean, two,
now for the girls is a weight that
I want to say is average now,
almost average.
Be curious to see what that is in
comparison to what the field cleaned at
the past, um, event.
Three forty to forty.
Yeah.
What's the over under on the number of
women who can't finish the ladder?
I'm starting to look at eight.
OK, so three.
So two rope climbs plus three hundred
meters, just that five times.
How long is that?
It's what, eight hundred meter run?
Well,
you have three hundred meters every time,
plus two rope climbs.
So you're looking at about, you know,
two and a half minutes times five.
You're ten.
Let's let's call it ten minutes right
there.
Yeah.
Then you got five minutes to do these.
It is hard to read CrossFit.
I mean,
some of them just might need more time
to get settled.
They might miss.
Some of them definitely will get time
capped.
What did the weight go up to at
crash in that double under total bar
workout?
Two or five, maybe.
And there was seven,
eight girls there who couldn't even do the
last bar.
But I, I think this is,
I don't think it's the same field.
One, two,
I don't think there was like a hundred
toast bars in that and double unders.
Yeah, but this is event seven.
I mean,
is this the first event on the third
day?
With all these replacements and the
withdrawals,
I think a third of the field doesn't
finish.
I totally agree, Scott.
It's definitely too heavy.
They didn't need this event.
You can have a moderate heavy clean
without it being like almost at people's
maxes, like ninety percent.
I don't think it needed to go above
two or five.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Two Oh five, two,
fifteen would've been fine.
Give it three weeks.
It could be a similar field to the
crash.
I mean,
I would say it kind of almost like,
sure.
There's, you got five,
six there at the top that are going
to probably be okay here,
but you go down the list.
People are give it three weeks,
weeks and denses in.
Yeah.
I mean, Haley's probably thankful.
She's not going.
All right.
Eighth workout is for time.
Thirty twenty four cal echo bike.
You have to read it like Hiller.
Echo bike.
Echo bike.
Some of his takes on some of these
things just really boggle my mind.
Twenty saw devil's press.
Twenty saw overhead squat squat.
um yeah and then fourteen saw devil's
press fourteen saw oh squat thirty twenty
four cal echo bike eight saw devil's press
and eight saw oh squat i mean another
workout that goes all the way until
you know,
one hundred seventy pounds in the
dumbbell,
that overhead squat will start testing
people's mobility for sure.
A lot of people get very toesy on
the the dumbbell overhead squats and lean
a lot to one side.
So I think we're going to be seeing
a lot of people struggling with one
hundred and seventy pounds in that
overhead squat position,
really being challenged with their
their positionings there.
Um, CrossFit says, again,
another power output heavy one.
Yes.
It's crazy that we could use all that
space for the full words.
Yeah.
There's a lot of empty space on this.
I mean,
I write it like that when I write
it.
I do too.
Like this doesn't bother me at all,
but that's how I write it.
Since two thousand eleven.
And I've never seen saw a single arm.
That's how I write it.
That's how I write it every time.
It's never been that way on any of
the places I've been.
I usually put a backsplash in there or
I guess forward slash.
I usually use S forward slash A whenever
I do single arm or single leg.
I have a forward slash.
But yeah, this doesn't bother me at all.
That's exactly how I write it.
But then like I would write it.
I probably wouldn't write single arm
overhead if I'm sending it to someone.
It's more like my notes would be like
S-A-O-H.
Very common.
I would have used O-H-S and not O-H-Squat.
Yeah, I would do OHS too.
That's true.
It's like a mix of some things are
abbreviated, some things are not.
And that's why it looks weird to me.
Like saw by itself doesn't look right
because OHS isn't beside it.
It's OH squat.
And CrossFit says write it out the first
time and then abbreviate the rest of the
repeats.
Yeah.
That's fair.
Yeah, I like that there.
Another workout that has machine heavy on
the overhead squats at the end,
coming off the heavy cleans.
Jay Burch asks, is this alternating?
It does not say.
I doubt that you have to.
I don't think you have to.
Yeah,
I'm sure you can do whatever you want.
You can do five per arm.
You can do every other.
Yeah, you'll pick whatever arm.
Yeah.
I didn't change devil's press into an
acronym.
Weird.
Yeah, we didn't want the DP.
And the box jumps are what height?
Thirty.
Thirty six.
Thirty.
Yeah, this is.
Yeah, I.
Everything about this is big, big man,
power output, strong.
Like, I mean,
I would like the jumping personally,
but yeah.
Uh,
the final workout is three rounds for
time.
Ten, eight ring muscle ups,
eight thruster,
nine meter front rack walking lunge.
Time cap, ten minutes.
Short barrel.
I'm assuming that's the bar.
Probably.
Shorty bar.
yeah yeah shorty bar what's the weight on
that barbell this green is very hard which
makes it feel even heavier yeah on the
on the thruster um yeah that's tough
that's tough workout what was the weight
one eighty five one twenty five whoo on
the thruster i'm not as worried with the
walking lunge because like i would
probably go like this just to save my
my shoulders and stuff but
Those eight thrusters at the one twenty
five paired with the eight ring muscle
ups.
Is it three rounds?
Spicy.
Yeah, this is snarly.
Again, overprogrammed.
If you're colorblind, it's gray on gray.
Yeah,
I don't think it needed to be this
heavy at all.
Yeah,
we make it more make it more sprinty
at the end, make it lighter.
then one,
and let's get more of a race.
Yep.
Do you,
do you think they're looking at these
withdrawals and looking at this
programming and thinking this is why we're
losing some people or do you think they
don't, they're unaware of that?
I think they're unaware.
I think they're oblivious.
Will thinks they're great events.
He would probably crush them.
He probably can't see the fault in it.
I just... I personally...
And you guys know my bias.
So everything to me just is heavy.
Unnecessarily heavy for heavy's sake.
And I just...
i don't know i'm sick of it i'm
sick of seeing like even at crash like
people just standing there not able to do
that last bar like you could have been
the fittest person there and then you had
to stop and people pass you i hate
seeing that at events but i think you
should be able to clean tool five at
that level like i don't think that that's
well they when you invite masters there
that can't like that that's different but
i don't i wouldn't say that like the
last bar crash was ridiculously heavy
I think this clean ladder is definitely
very, very heavy.
Overly heavy for what it needed to be.
We're going to see a lot of standing
around.
I think they could have ended it around
two fifteen.
And that would have been fine.
What happened to just two forty two is
insane.
It's insane.
It's insane.
Like the one year at the games we
ended,
it was the two hundred meter run with
the the cleans and we ended at two
thirty five for the females.
And I think a lot of the girls
got capped there.
Yeah.
And that was twenty twenty.
Haley had to stand there and Sam,
they just stood there like that's not fun
to watch.
I remember standing there like I think I
had like tears in my eyes just watching
them just stand there like this is awful.
Cause you had people with eight minutes in
their cap last time.
And I want to say that like two
Forty may have been the average,
but they had eight minutes to kind of
build up to that under fatigue with the
run rope climb,
not maybe having their shoes or the right
setup.
I think it'll be tougher half the field
at least.
All right.
So I want to move into something more
positive.
than the wfp and that is we have
a sponsor guys third z um
This week is going through my sinus
infection and everything.
It has been the miracle,
miracle supplement for me to get some
sleep this weekend.
And what's awesome is we are running a
Black Friday sale.
And so it is up to fifty percent
off when you go to thirdsy.com backslash
Jazzy.
And you with Jazzy.
You get free shipping.
So this,
the discounts are better than what our
discount is.
So what he says is we'll let your
code give them free shipping on top of
the insane discounts we're getting.
And what I love about it is I
go to sleep.
I wake up refreshed.
I'm not groggy.
I don't have that melatonin feeling and
it's freaking awesome.
So,
so last week I had only had it
cold.
Yeah.
And then you guys convinced me to take
it hot.
And now I'm like,
that's what I had at the beginning of
the show.
And I probably, I was trying to,
I was just trying to have like a
tiny sip at the beginning.
And I just,
it was so good that I just kept
having it earlier than I wanted to.
But the hot salted caramel is where it's
at.
It is the best.
I like the cold too,
but hot is even better.
Especially at wintertime.
Smuggle right up, get under a blanket.
That's what I've been doing in the evening
as I'm doing work or whatever,
watching TV.
I'm like, I have my hot,
thirsty salted caramel.
It's great.
John George ordered his.
Use Jazzy.
Looking forward to seeing if he can sleep
past three a.m.
That's what I'm trying to do, John,
and it worked.
Yeah.
Tag us in that, John.
I'm curious to see if that works for
you, too.
All of my numbers went up.
My HRV finally is like leveling out.
So check that out.
Third Z backslash Jazzy.
Use the code Jazzy.
I get you a free shipping on the
great deals and they have extended it
through.
Yeah.
December second.
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
Ten PM Eastern time.
The sale is on through then.
So there we go.
So now, our next pencil, pen,
and Sharpie as we move into some pretty
cool news.
Pencil, pen, or Sharpie,
CrossFit Media is getting back to the
roots of the methodology and it's
rebuilding the base.
Pen.
Yeah, pen.
I agree with that statement.
The base, yeah.
I still think that they need to work
on a little bit more expanding.
But I think it's good to rally to
get the base on board and the people
who are currently doing CrossFit on board.
But more to get people into our gyms.
Yeah.
More clearer like
ig and facebook posts of what is crossfit
like short catching yes consistent
messaging that can be easily shared that
draws people in yeah just more more
frequent it's it's like there there's some
good stuff i still want it more uh
clock says pencil
Um,
what I've seen is like these really cool,
like highlight videos and an affiliate
where it's people of different ages,
people of different groups, um,
that we had the F the quick fix,
um,
You know, CrossFit's the answer.
We had Forging Elite Fitness.
Now they're running James Sprague is What
Makes a Good Coach.
I don't know if you guys have seen
that now.
It's like a Q&A with James Sprague talking
about what makes a good coach in the
affiliate, which is interesting.
But what we stumbled upon last week is
there was a gentleman named Ethan Bernard
who was going to Tennessee to visit family
for Thanksgiving.
and i'm going to pull up his instagram
here sure i am um this is the
post that i saw that started me wondering
what was going on and
trying crossfit for the first time today
right now we're in tennessee visiting my
family for thanksgiving i'm really excited
for that but an opportunity came up today
for us to visit one of the biggest
crossfit gyms in the country and i'm going
to be doing a full class this afternoon
i'm nervous but i'm excited starting out
the day with some clean protein i got
my so this guy has been on a
weight loss journey he started at six
hundred and sixty pounds he is now down
to four sixty
And that big Jim,
as we all could figure out who have
been around the CrossFit space,
was CrossFit Mayhem.
And he went the day before Thanksgiving.
There were stories on his Instagram that
are no longer up there of him working
out with Josh Malone at Mayhem,
being taught like push-ups on a barbell on
a rig, those kinds of things.
Mm-hmm.
was doing a show last week and people
were asking what are they doing with this
they need to film this we need to
do all this kind of thing right i
reached out to jenna halka there is a
video coming out the end of this week
on this guy's adventure at mayhem and i
am so pumped for that
That's great.
That is great.
I think I do.
It's stuff like that,
like scaled pushups showing that someone
that size can get in there and do
it.
And there is an option because people
still are like, it's too hard.
I can't do it.
I need to lose weight before I go
in or look a certain way.
Yeah.
People need to see that you can walk
in and do.
We will find you something to do.
It's doable.
Mm hmm.
went off on a little riff over the
week because some of the comments were
crossfit's dangerous you shouldn't be
doing that at your weight blah blah blah
and i lost my mind on the lunch
show this week i'm not going to rehash
that um but as someone who walked into
a crossfit gym at four hundred five
hundred pounds um like i had such good
coaching that showed me a way to do
crossfit in a way that i was successful
and i
lost over two hundred pounds myself so
like I know it works and I not
only did I not get hurt the aches
and pains of my life started to go
away and so I really hate when people
step in on the internet and someone who
has already lost two hundred pounds try to
get in their way of accomplishing even
more that really got under my skin this
week but
Um,
but I cannot wait to see the results
of this.
And now I've been following this guy, um,
as he continues his journey, um,
through the weight loss thing.
And I think it's going to be fun
to see.
So does he belong to a CrossFit gym
at home?
This was his first attempt at CrossFit was
at mayhem.
Okay.
Um,
he's been working with a nutritionist and
a, uh, like a private, uh, trainer.
Okay.
Yeah.
And he'd now he wanted,
I don't know what the whole story is.
I'm sure we'll find out more in the
video.
If,
if that's something he wants to dabble
into now or not, I don't know.
All I know is the visit to mayhem.
And in his, in some,
some of the stories, he was like,
it was awesome.
It was hard.
I had a good time and he seemed
to really enjoy it.
So I'm anxious to see how the video
comes out.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I agree.
We need to see more of that kind
of stuff.
And especially if you can put, you know,
different age or different bodies in
classes where you see them doing the
different movements and just pump that
content all the time to like.
reiterate to people that what they're
seeing from the people that have thousands
of followers or hundreds of thousands of
followers or the CrossFit games is not
what you're going to be forced to do
at a CrossFit gym.
And that everyone is at their own pace,
pushing themselves at their, you know,
ability and at the right intensity for
them, their relative intensity, right?
Like that stuff is so important to see.
My, um,
my only suggestion to them at this point,
one, well,
it's actually to have an action item at
the end of your videos.
Yeah.
Like how do you get to an affiliate?
Just tell me how to do that.
And the other thing is,
and this is something that Savannah said a
long time ago,
it doesn't need to be so polished every
time, you know,
it can be like Instagram is full of
people with an iPhone.
And they're popular and they go viral and
they do amazing things on there.
Not everything has to be an eight K
camera that's edited down to the minutia
of it all.
Just put, like Carolyn said,
pump out the content.
Don't let the editing slow you down.
There is stuff that is really,
really good that you can just pump out.
Everyday heroes, just pumping them out.
It doesn't have to be glossy and shiny
every single attempt.
Jay Burch said a relative intensity.
Well said, Carolyn.
So that was really cool.
I was so glad I stumbled upon that
and got to follow up with Jenna on
that.
Yeah,
I hope that they do a follow-up down
the road to see how he's doing and
just continue to follow his journey.
It's interesting.
Because they did one on you when you
started, right?
Like a long, long, long time ago?
Yeah.
What year was that?
It was just five years ago during COVID.
It was twenty twenty?
Twenty twenty.
But there's never been no like follow up.
Like I want to see like they should
do like follow up down the road, right?
Yeah.
Be good to see and just keep people
engaged with just that stuff.
John George says,
I still think a spin on the I
am CrossFit would be great.
Show people in their everyday life job and
then in the box with them saying I
am CrossFit.
Yeah, that'd be good.
That'd be cool.
And that wouldn't need to be glossy.
That could just be quick hitters on an
iPhone.
Some affiliates do it,
but it needs to come from the main
account.
Yeah.
There's just way more followers.
CrossFit says,
I miss the old workout of the day
videos.
Yeah.
If they just had a repository where
affiliates could like,
affiliates would love to be featured on
CrossFit HQ.
Just make a repository for them to dump
like an IM CrossFit video.
And you'd have thousands to choose from.
Yep.
All right.
Last pencil, pen,
or Sharpie for the night.
Pencil, pen, or Sharpie.
Pre-physical screenings are more optics
than true value.
Sharpie.
Say that again.
Pre-physical screenings are more optics
than true value.
I guess it depends who's doing the
physicals and because people,
if it's their own people,
they're going to sign off on whatever
injury they have or pre.
There's a, I don't know.
You could find out stuff,
but it just depends who's taking it and
what they're even pre-screening for.
So the reason this is brought up is
CrossFit has announced that they are going
to force all individual and team athletes
at the games to go through a physical
prior to competing at the games.
However,
that physical is done on your own dime
and you just bring,
I'm assuming you'll be given a sheet that
needs to be filled out.
I would hope something to make it
consistent.
But if you get to take it to
your own doctor and,
I think it's all optics.
Yep.
But like in sports,
like even if there's trades, right.
In professional sports,
do you have to pass some sort of
physical before, you know,
the trade deal is even accepted sometimes.
So it's not like it's a new thing
in our sport.
That's not happening elsewhere.
Like it does happen in every sport.
Yeah.
And sometimes but it's done by the new
team who's going to do a thorough
investigation in this scenario.
Yeah, because they don't they'll be like,
oh,
you didn't tell us before this trade that
this person has this, this,
this wrong deals off.
Right.
Um, or just,
you need to get medically cleared.
Even like when I was on, like,
you know, at Wisconsin,
like you couldn't play,
like you had a medical stuff,
like a testing and physical testing at the
beginning of the season.
And you have to pass those before playing.
Um, but those were done by,
by the school and yeah,
they want us to play,
but you have to still pass that in
this case.
I don't know.
I don't know how that's going to work
in terms of you're going to your own
doctor, um,
I mean,
if people have something really wrong,
they won't be able to get away with
it because, I mean,
a medical professional should be keeping
their clients safe as much as possible.
Right.
They have a duty to do no harm,
right?
Meredith says,
wouldn't a concern be for the women who
are very early pregnant and they're not
ready to announce that yet?
Well,
it's still covered by HIPAA in the States,
right?
Like if you are a,
if you are a United States citizen and
you,
nothing medical can be disclosed publicly.
I mean, that's against the law.
And there is doctor patient
confidentiality.
You think a doctor would sign off on
somebody that they knew was pregnant?
Depends on the doctor.
It does depend on the doctor.
I I'm surprised that they're not doing
this for the masters, to be honest,
that'd be the group that I'd be worried
about.
Uh,
CrossFit says just like the chiropractor
that'll prescribe peptides and TRT.
You can find them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's why this is silly.
Cause you're,
you're just asking people to find ways
defending her profession.
Some docs take participation,
sports physicals seriously.
And I agree, there probably are,
there are really good doctors.
And I have found that in my own
journey to get over all this stuff I'm
going through,
there are good doctors and there are bad
doctors.
And I hate bad doctors and I love
good doctors.
But the thing is,
is if you have your own doctor that
says no,
you will go and find one that will
say yes.
That's the issue here.
If it's the same doctor that's saying no
and it won't matter if that one doctor
is going by the rules and making sure
that athlete is going to be safe.
That athlete will find someone.
If they want to compete at the games,
they're going to find whatever to compete
at the games.
Right.
That's why it's so silly.
Andrew Stem wants to know where he can
find that chiropractor.
Yeah.
um tom of the seven five seven uh
pilots with their faa physicals pilots
know which docs will sign off sign them
off and they all go to them that's
scary as i have a daughter flying in
the air currently thank you for that tom
so i've seen this a lot probably crossfit
minimizing liability yes
It's not going to minimize liability.
No.
If every athlete had to have a physical
the year that Lazar died,
everybody would still be up in arms that
CrossFit didn't do enough,
didn't have enough lifeguards,
didn't have enough safety protocols.
All of that,
those same arguments would still exist.
Yep.
When you go to a physical before you
play high school football and a kid gets
severely injured or dies on the field,
the parents still sue.
Shanna,
I found an eight-year-old athlete with a
mild coartation of the aorta.
I have never heard of that.
but there will be a record of the
doc who says no.
If an event happens,
records will be open for the lawyers.
Yeah, I guess.
I don't know.
Like Adam Banks and his wrist during the
Mighty Ducks.
That's a great movie.
That is a good movie.
I was talking about that in class like
last year and my students had no idea.
And I was like, I'm old now.
Like they didn't even know the Mighty
Ducks movie.
And this was like the hockey team that
I coached too.
And they had never seen it.
And I was so disappointed.
That's sad.
Yeah.
You got to give them homework.
You know what we should do next week
is top sports movies of all time.
It's the off season.
are we going to cover next week five
more withdrawals from wfp other let's do
sports movies or something all right um
meredith says uh shannon i'm sorry i'm
surprised it wasn't discovered younger
yeah
All right.
So that is, um, the,
the funny thing about the,
the medical issue is for people don't know
when the spin put that story out,
the picture he used was of our very
own Carolyn Prevo.
So I don't know if he was trying
to insinuate something that she was the
oldest person at the games last year or,
and that she's been a geriatric test or
something.
Um, I wasn't sure.
I was like, I was like,
why is my picture being used?
Did I have anything wrong medically?
I mean, my rash that was everywhere,
but how long did that take to clear
up?
Like, that's three weeks.
Wow.
Three weeks, I'd say.
So if you had to have medical clearance,
would your doctor clear you to compete?
did go see the medical staff the whole
time it started there like two days before
the event they gave me they were giving
me cream the whole time uh carolyn was
the only games athlete with an
osteoporosis screen oh okay wow but with
that

Jay Burch asks,
would you need clearance to compete in the
Open?
I don't think it's at that stage.
I think it's once you make the games,
you are then required to get the medical
screening.
So.
Shanna says, actually,
CrossFit reversed my osteoporosis.
No need for any screening as long as
I keep doing it.
That's awesome.
Amen, sister.
That's a video for Instagram.
There it is.
Get on that, CrossFit HQ.
Thank you, Trent Olive.
For that, I'll even call you Winter.
John George says, no bulls, I'm off.
I got to ask,
since Noble is no longer affiliated with
CrossFit, Justin had those foot problems.
He gets away from Noble and now he
doesn't have foot problems and he's
competing in running events.
Coincidence?
Probably not.
I've never liked the noble shoes.
I like the look of them.
I think they look cool.
Um, like, you know, simple look, which I,
what I like, I love their clothes.
I think the noble clothes is very
comfortable.
I love the backpacks.
Their shoes were always super hard for me.
Like I just,
I didn't find comfort in them.
I'll wear them just casually still,
just cause I have them.
And I like the style or like,
I might like color with an outfit,
but the comfort of them, I didn't,
I didn't enjoy.
Yeah,
their clothes are extremely – they are the
softest shirts ever.
Yeah.
No,
the clothes and the backpacks and stuff,
great.
It's expensive,
so that fifty percent might be good.
Yeah.
Shannon now has the bones of a
twenty-year-old.
And then cross fat.
I missed it.
Is that poor twenty-year-old still alive?
So clever.
Awesome.
Well, thanks, guys.
Thank you for being here.
We love you all.
It's always a blast every Sunday night.
And we'll be back next Sunday night for...
Sunday, Sunday,
Sunday night CrossFit talk.
We will see you all then.
Thank you.
Have a great week.
Bye, guys.
