Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale.

Good to be here.

We've got Trent Olive in the chat.

We've got Vicki.

We've got Meredith.

We've got Joseph.

Daniel, what's going on, everybody?

So busy day.

I looked at hotel reservations in

Knoxville, Tennessee,

and I was warned that there's a lot

going on in Knoxville.

i got a really good deal on hotel

rooms so i am going to be going

to the syndicate crown i reached out to

wilson pock today um super stoked about

that that will be my first event back

uh since everything happened and um super

stoked for that so i will be going

to knoxville

the end of next month to check out

all the action and uh yeah getting my

camera out doing my thing i i can't

wait i love i love the semi-final piece

of the season um i know i talk

a lot about that they've removed a lot

of the drama from that stage but that

but there's still some

There's still some.

And the access we can get with semifinal

athletes is so much better than that at

the games or whatnot.

So, yeah.

So...

going to drive down.

I see Daniel asking flying or driving.

It's about five and a half hour drive

for me, five and a half, six hours.

Um, so just going to drive down and,

um, gosh, I,

I've been to Knoxville so many times,

been to the syndicate,

been to the Mac and, uh,

really like it.

There's easy time to get around.

And, um,

Going to check that out.

So super stoked, super stoked to be there.

Cannot wait till I get to break out

the camera again and do my thing.

And speaking of that, every day,

because last week at Legends,

this week at Magic City,

the Masters athletes have been punching

their ticket to the CrossFit Games.

I made a big video last year from

the age group CrossFit Games,

where I did what is your why and

I had all this footage that got thrown

on the editing room floor and so what

I'm doing is I'm releasing one five-ish

minute interview I did with several age

group athletes last year at the CrossFit

Games I'm releasing one a day uh up

through for about two weeks um

And so if you have not seen them

yet,

I'm calling them the lost tapes of the

twenty twenty five CrossFit Games.

About four of them have been released.

What's happening is they're going to

members only for about seventy two hours

and then they'll release to the general

public right after that about every day at

eleven a.m.

And so you can check those out.

They are a quick watch.

They are five minutes or less.

Um,

and these people who work day jobs and

go check out everything at the CrossFit

games and do all this stuff and why

they do it and, uh,

how they found CrossFit.

Uh, it's, it's really a fun, fun lesson.

So, uh, go check it out.

Um,

Daniel says, CEO talk today.

They announced like right after y'all got

off yesterday.

So yeah,

that is on the docket to discuss.

I guess we can jump into that now

since Daniel is bringing it up.

What I have here is the new CEO

for CrossFit was announced.

His name is Bruce Edwards.

And I have his LinkedIn pulled up.

And he is now,

he already has his LinkedIn updated.

See it?

CrossFit LLC full-time CEO.

Some of his past experience,

if people don't know,

he was the chief operating officer for

CrossFit from twenty thirteen to twenty

nineteen.

And.

And so he.

He has been in the CrossFit space for

a very long time.

In addition to being chief operating

officer, before that,

he actually trained with Greg before

CrossFit was fully imagined and invented.

He likes to say that he had a

lot of the original workouts tested on

him.

uh by greg but because he started with

him in the late and crossfit.com with the

uh workout of the day didn't start till

so he'd been working with greg for a

few years before that initial release so

he has been around the methodology he's

been around the the concept and the

what CrossFit means from the guy who

invented it,

the guy who wrote all the materials,

all of that stuff for much of his

life.

He left CrossFit in two thousand nineteen

and after that he well,

during that he was the co-founder,

owner and coach of CrossFit Aptos in

California.

So he's owned an affiliate in addition to

that.

but he also was the chief growth officer

at in shape fitness,

the president and chief operating officer

of bear three and a chief executive

officer,

CEO of core development and management.

And so, yeah,

he has a lot of gym experience and

a lot of experience around this space

where, where I,

What I'm having a hard time with in

my head is that why is a venture

capital company hiring this guy that grew

up in this system that kind of conflicts

with what you've been trying to do for

the last six years?

And my hope and my dream is that

Berkshire has seen the light and said,

this can't be a money grab.

This community won't go for a money grab.

And we've got to change the way we're

doing it.

And we need to bring in somebody that

saw how the initial growth has gone and

And maybe we need to let that develop

and we need to stop the sale for

five years.

We need to let this guy take over

and we need to see what transpires.

Jay Birch says to appease the masses.

Venture capitalists do not care about the

masses.

They care about money.

And the problem is,

is the way they've gone about it has

lost them money.

So what can they do to make money

back?

But that's where it gets confusing to me

is now you've got this yin and yang,

like this tug,

this pool back and forth between the

making of the money and the initial way

the growth happened wasn't about the

money.

So like,

How do those things marry that makes both

Berkshire and CrossFit HQ benefit?

That's where I think it gets a little

bit confusing.

Shanna says,

I wonder how Dave feels about this.

So by all accounts,

Dave is very close with this new CEO.

Um,

and so from what I've heard is Dave

is cool with this guy.

It's somebody he respects.

It's somebody that will probably give him,

um,

will give him more autonomy to do the

things that Dave does well.

Um,

Exactly, Scott.

The only hope of profiting off of their

investment is to let CrossFit be CrossFit.

And that's kind of what I'm saying, Wayne,

but what my fear is,

is do they even freaking understand that

still?

Are they going to try to get Bruce

to conform to their way,

or are they going to let Bruce be

Bruce?

And that has been an issue that I've

talked about

When Don fall step down,

because in my opinion,

unless you let the new CEO be who

they are,

it doesn't matter who you put in that

role because there is still a board of

directors that you have to report to.

Now,

if the board of directors decide Bruce

knows what he's doing,

he's done it for so many companies.

He knows the inner workings of CrossFit

and lets him let him be him.

then I think we're in a good place.

But that's a big if that's kind of

like hanging out there.

Daniel says,

Dave made it sound in the Week in

Review that when he said he thinks he

should be CEO, that if he wasn't picked,

he was going to leave,

and that worries me.

Dave never said he was going to leave.

Dave said he knew...

Dave left that very ambiguous,

if you go back and watch it.

He does not say he's going to leave.

He just says he knows what he would

do,

and he's not willing to say that yet.

I think that this guy being hired is

a factor that would help retain Dave.

If they are truly as close as everything

that I am hearing.

CrossFit says,

plenty of peeps I'm cool with,

but I wouldn't want to work under.

Fair enough.

Fair enough.

Chattanoofy,

I do not know why Bruce left CrossFit

years ago.

Bruce wasn't the CEO back then.

He was the chief operating officer taking

direction from others.

And maybe he got other opportunities that

he wanted to seek out.

CrossFit says,

or the board can figure out it's Kirky's

specific brand,

not a global power that should be

everything.

Again,

I hope that they have figured out that

this is a quirky brand.

It is not Planet Fitness.

It is not Orange Theory.

It is something of its own and needs

to be treated as such.

CrossFit kind of nails it.

Depending on who they name,

I may not be in this role.

i think but again everything was implied

in the week in review he after he

said if i'm not the ceo he left

it very vague and ambiguous uh jeff kane

was ceo i think yeah i didn't i

didn't want to jump to that crossfit

because i i can't remember the specific

specific dates that jeff kane was ceo

And that would have meant that Bruce

wasn't taking direction from Greg anymore,

but taking direction from Jeff Kane.

And maybe that is why he left.

The dates escape,

this specific dates escape me.

I know Jeff Kane was there around that

time.

I believe Jeff Kane was there when they

fired the media.

And that would have been twenty eighteen.

Bruce left in twenty nineteen.

And then Jeff Kane left maybe twenty

nineteen,

but I don't know where he's I don't

know.

I don't know.

Mark Phillips says he left in what,

twenty nineteen ish.

Tons of changes happened that year.

Yeah,

a lot was happening from twenty eighteen

on that twenty eighteen to twenty twenty.

There was a lot of upheaval in a

lot of different directions.

And so and I am not privy to

the inner workings of CrossFit at that

time to know exactly why Bruce would have

left or why other changes were made or

or any of that.

So I want to be optimistic.

I'm going to be optimistic.

That's just in my nature is to think

that they've got the right guy in place

to kind of demonstrate what CrossFit is

and what needs to happen for it to

have growth.

And I pray that the board allows him

to do that.

That is my biggest hope for this moving

forward.

Yeah.

So, yeah.

And Bruce does have experience in other

fitness places as well.

So maybe he can marry the two better

than we think is possible.

I don't know.

I, I think off the top,

he gets more respect because he was around

for the start of CrossFit.

He knows the,

he's still good friends with Greg.

I mean,

if you watch the Vaughn this morning,

they just went out on a boating trip,

not that long ago, a week ago.

So it's not like they're not still in

contact, um,

or would be able to discuss things.

CrossFit says the Planet Fitness

franchisee role is really important.

The brand is actually rebounded.

Yeah,

I do think he brings a little bit

of knowledge from those growth gym models

plus the foundations of CrossFit.

It's going to be interesting to see how

he pulls the two together.

Really.

Really.

So with all that news,

I do have a bit of a mini

riff.

And yesterday I gave so many flowers to

CrossFit and their media department for

what came out their road to the games,

the CrossFit Open.

was fantastic.

One of the best documentaries I've seen in

years come out of CrossFit.

And I am hypercritical of those

documentaries.

And that one was fantastic.

Fantastic.

Then yesterday, this announcement is made.

And I don't know what the media department

is thinking about,

but they released the information to three

media outlets.

They released it to Barbell Spin.

I can get behind that.

Barbell Spin is a leader in the space,

in this media content space.

That makes sense to me.

But then you release it to Morning Chalk

Up,

whose one issue a week that they have

now doesn't even come out until tomorrow.

Other than that,

they just post little stuff here and there

on Instagram.

And then talking elite fitness,

talking freaking elite fitness,

who just announced a week ago they were

taking an indefinite sabbatical from the

show.

who got the band back together one week

after saying they were taking an

indefinite leave of absence,

they get this information thrown to them

ahead of everybody else in the space,

and they're like on a break,

but they're on a break.

Did we go back to twenty nineteen?

And think that those were the relevant

news outlets in the space?

Are you joking me?

Are you kidding me?

What?

What were you thinking?

What were you thinking?

You release your information to a news

outlet who puts out one thing a week,

one thing a week, and it's on Thursday,

and you make the announcement on Tuesday.

The other outlet you send to broke up

a week ago.

They're on a break.

They're on a break.

This is where I have to say that

the WFP is so much better than CrossFit

at press releases.

Every time the WFP puts out news,

they do a formal press release to their

list of media, which I get every time.

And that is something they do way better

than CrossFit has ever done.

So it is bonkers to me that you

release the information to those two

entities.

Barbell spin, I get.

I get barbell spin.

I do not get morning chalk up,

and I do not get TEF.

Yes, Daniel, we're on a break.

I wonder if Sean learned at Mayhem and

basically was sworn in.

Regardless.

Regardless,

there's people like me that do,

and I'm not saying this that I should

have gotten the leak or the news in

advance.

Savon does a daily show.

I do a daily show.

That information gets released daily if

you're willing to do it.

Just do a press release.

Do a press release to all media.

Let the blast happen.

This announcement.

Roussini had Talking Elite Fitness on her

Spotify account.

Yeah,

right there below the This One's for Mike

playlist.

Wait, they released it to TEF first?

Yes.

They had a show that was out before

Savant Show, before...

It might have been out half an hour,

twenty minutes before Siobhan went live.

Yeah.

Meredith, I hadn't heard about the break.

Yeah, it was, gosh, just a week ago.

Like last week,

at the end of one of their shows,

or during one of their shows,

Sean said that due to life events,

mainly his own, ninety percent his own,

the show was going to go on an

indefinite break.

um so they released it to two basically

defunct outlets pretty much pretty much um

uh tef and mcu make no sense they

have they make absolutely no sense

They said something like this should be

released by the time this episode airs or

something.

Yeah.

Because talking elite fitness,

don't do anything live.

So it was all recorded.

And when I looked at the timestamp,

it was right after I'd listened to Savant

show.

And it said two hours ago that it

had been released.

Um,

Any chance he has been asked to return

to CrossFit?

By who?

He, who, who?

Who, Wayne?

Just when I thought I was out,

they pulled me back in.

And Dave doesn't care.

Rich had this news at Mayhem.

I'm sure Rich knew some way, somehow.

I'm surprised Spin didn't do a breaking

news show last night.

From my understanding,

Spin has kids that are in things, sports,

whatever.

When my daughter was in all that stuff,

I didn't have time to do crap.

I don't know how people with multiple kids

even get around doing that.

Jay Burch says, that was good, Scott.

I thought you were Brando.

People compare.

People compare us.

That Monday podcast after Mayhem,

the last three seconds he said,

CrossFit has a CEO,

and then they added the podcast.

Yeah, I mean, it's not surprising he knew,

but it's just the fact that CrossFit has

not aged well in the media department.

And I'm going to give you another example.

So yesterday, I think it was yesterday,

yesterday I got an email from CrossFit

saying that they would like me to,

They would like me to know that

applications are open for media

credentials at the CrossFit Games.

And here's the link to apply.

So I went in to apply for my

media credentials at the CrossFit Games.

And you fill out all the stuff and

it asks you,

what is your website for your entity?

But it doesn't ask you for like your

Instagram or your YouTube channel or any

of that stuff.

Only a website.

They have not evolved at all with what

is relevant in the media space.

Because in today's media,

especially in their sport,

websites are not what's important.

Where their news is spread is through

YouTube and through Instagram and through

Twitter or X, I'm sorry.

It boggles my mind that websites are still

looked at as the main source of vetting

whether a media outlet should or should

not have access to the CrossFit Games.

Does it ask access needs?

I'm not sure I understand that one,

CrossFat.

The other thing that is frustrating for me

is when I go to the games,

I want to take at least a photographer,

videographer, or two.

Why can't I add that to my request?

Now,

you could come back and say you're

approved,

but we can't let you take two

videographers, but you can have one.

Like, that makes sense to me.

But no,

everybody I want to take has to fill

out the application separately.

And then they have to put in there

that they are with me.

So I don't know.

chat a new fee same thing for their

coach insurance they offer please enter

your website and it's a required field no

option around it okay thanks bye yep it's

a required field on the mat on the

media application as well ed ai i'd be

the worst photographer assistant but i'll

work dang hard for you scott

Everybody wants to be a photographer or a

videographer.

But Jonathan's worked for me, Ortega.

I have Ishmael,

who goes to a lot of events for

me.

I have another girl named Caitlin that I

use.

So I have a handful that I go

to.

Get yourself approved,

then work on others.

The problem, Hexy Lover,

is they do it on a rolling basis.

So if you don't get your applications in

early,

you may not hear until a week before

the games.

So, like, I reached out to Ishmael.

Ishmael's got his app in.

I've got my app in.

And then I'll see if I can get

another one to maybe get one in as

well.

I have to see if Jamie or Carolyn

want to go or even Corey.

Okay.

because maybe they want to go.

Just trying to figure out all that stuff.

Every major concert or event as a

photographer,

you have to put in who your point

of contact is and who the outlet is

and they confirm it with them.

They do.

They do confirm everything with me.

I just wish you could do it as...

As one application.

Um,

CrossFit agree Ortega and some events that

links to a background check.

Chad Anufi,

hope I get to meet you at the

games.

Got our tickets a few weeks ago.

It's awesome.

Awesome.

Hope I get to meet you as well.

Joseph,

I can carry equipment and get coffee,

Scott.

The coffee,

my biggest problem is when I'm at the

games, Joseph, is that I forget to eat.

And then I get sick late in the

day because I have not eaten all day.

And so I just,

I need a food runner,

food runner and beverage runner.

That's pretty much it.

Hopefully Corey is going to compete.

Yeah.

Hopefully Carolyn is going to compete.

Jamie's going to compete and Corey's going

to compete.

It would be awesome if they were all

at the games on the competition floor.

Hopefully Joseph's going to compete and,

Daniel's also an incredible cook.

Man, offers are just flooding in now.

Ortega, I always forget to eat.

It gets so crazy going from heat to

heat to heat and downloading stuff and

editing stuff.

Like I've seen Ortega at work, man.

It is like an all day grind.

And if you're in that grind,

you just forget to eat and drink.

Hubby and I will be there too,

regardless whether I qualify or not.

Looking forward to it.

Happy to bring you food.

In Texas, regular food,

normal water was difficult.

My body became forty percent.

You ain't lying.

Cross fat.

Yeah.

Every time you walk through,

there was like a free bottle of Jocko.

Holy cow.

Uh, Vicki wish I was going,

I'd be happy to help and I'd fit

in your backpack.

There you go.

Like baby group.

Uh,

Who should they have released it to?

Speed of news is becoming less relevant.

Accuracy of news reigns supreme.

Well,

I don't think you release it to two

defunct news outlets.

Again,

I'm cool with it going to the spin.

Spin makes sense to me.

fine with all that but not to a

podcast that just said they're going off

the air for a while and not to

a news outlet who has reduced its content

to one day a week and they're not

that relevant anymore I think it's more

and again I don't care that I didn't

get it I don't care

What I care about is that it appears

that the CrossFit media strategy is not

evolving with what media is today.

Daniel says,

I can literally say I've never forgotten

to eat ever in my life.

Yeah.

Grant says,

not only will I do it for free,

I will purchase the food.

Beat that, people.

There are cool dudes and gals out there

that buy me a coffee when they see

me or an energy drink.

Y'all amazing.

Yeah,

I have awesome people too that show up

with food.

Hell, Corey texts me during the day.

Do you eat yet?

Do you eat yet?

Judy Reed has bought me a salad before

and a wrap I think once.

Yeah, it's crazy.

Their own channel should have done a press

release.

I would have been cool with that.

You have the CrossFit podcast.

Do a live breaking news.

Announce the CEO.

And then put out a press release to

the media that you have.

They emailed me asking me to apply for

media credentials.

That means you have an email list.

Send out a press release to that email

list.

It's not hard.

And they also have their own socials.

They could release it there.

I think this was bigger than a social

post.

I think this was,

let's do the CrossFit podcast.

Let's tell you who this guy is and

read his letter.

He wrote a letter of what,

where he came from,

what his qualifications are and what it

could mean to the system.

Right.

CrossFit has never really handled the

official release thing well, like ever.

I know that's what I'm saying.

It's one aspect that the WFP has killed

CrossFit on.

They are really good at putting out press

releases.

Really good.

Albany had pretty good food options.

Whole Foods next to the Shark Tank.

That's pretty good.

Judy got me a cold brew at Mayhem.

She's dope.

Judy is the coolest person to have at

a comp.

And as David Reed says,

I married up for sure.

Chase should have been the voice to

release that news or Hobart on the

CrossFit podcast or Denise.

I don't think it's a games announcement.

So the sport of pro sport of CrossFit

podcast is not the place.

It is probably more the CrossFit podcast.

And that is Denise or J or Hobart

to release that information.

Uh,

I will make you the best goat cheese

and pepper jelly burgers you've ever had

in your life.

I don't think I've ever had anything like

that, but it sounds freaking amazing,

dude.

Um,

Every media outlet should be able to opt

in to all press releases.

So they post a press release on their

website, but it's a pull, not a push.

And if,

like I'm in the middle of my workday,

I don't know to go pull that information

from the website unless I hear about it,

right?

So they have an email list.

And you're right,

opt in or unsubscribe from that email list

if you don't want to get press releases.

Corey, who skipped out on me today,

I can hear Chase's voice saying,

ladies and gentlemen, we have a new CEO.

I don't think that Chase and his podcast

were the right place.

This was more of a CrossFit podcast

release.

It needed to be Hobart or Denise on

that CrossFit podcast.

Are you saying pool or pool?

I am saying the first one.

First one, pool.

They should have brought in Bruce Buffer.

Yeah.

There you go.

chase is a host or play by play

they need more of a mike greenberg

breaking news bingo bingo so that is all

of that stuff it's really confusing i wish

it was simpler simple like thirdsy

Thirdsy is simple.

You mix it up in your water or

your milk at night.

You drink it.

And you can be like me.

In the last five days,

four of those nights,

I got eight hours plus of sleep.

I rested nice.

I recovered nice.

I saw earlier where someone asked me if

I'm back to working out.

I worked out Monday and yesterday.

I'm taking tonight off.

Got to get a haircut.

but it helps me recover from those

workouts.

And yeah, it's the best.

Go to thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy to get

fifteen percent off or use code Jazzy at

checkout.

Fifteen percent off your order.

Yeah,

I'm going to get them all cut cross

fat.

Diana Rossini was probably available to

break it.

She's got free time.

She sure does.

Ortega, what is the Diana Rossini thing?

You must be under the sports rock.

Thirdsy, simply the best.

It is.

Thirdsy.com backslash jazzy.

Ortega,

she's an NFL insider that basically got

caught having an affair with a married

coach.

Yeah,

and she had to resign from her job

and probably won't get another one.

Although, if I'm Barstool Sports,

is that a good pickup?

Shake it up a little bit?

Lean into it if she's willing?

So there's that.

What else do we got?

Just letting you guys know,

tomorrow night at five thirty p.m.

Eastern Time,

I will be a guest on the Glinton

Things podcast.

They're calling it Dinner with the

Clydesdale.

So I'm super stoked about that.

I've become a big fan of the Glint

and Things podcast,

and I'm going to be hanging out with

them tomorrow night at five thirty p.m.

Eastern time.

So.

That's happening tomorrow night.

And I watched episode one of the Hulk

Hogan documentary.

I don't think I'm into the juicy part

yet, but.

the twelve-year-old in me who grew up

watching Georgia Championship Wrestling on

TBS, getting to see B. Brian Blair again,

getting to see Bret the Hitman Hart,

getting to see Mouth of the South Jimmy

Hart in this documentary was awesome.

So I'm through episode one and

It's really just his rise.

CrossFed says he chose the worst time in

his life to call someone another word when

brother would have worked.

So, yeah.

It was so much fun.

Just nostalgia-wise, everything.

And Rocky is my favorite movie of all

time.

The fact that Vince McMahon senior fired

Hogan because he went to film Rocky three

and then didn't realize what exposure that

would give to wrestling and how that could

have been a linchpin moment for the growth

of wrestling history.

But his son did and his son corrected

that wild.

Wild.

And if you haven't seen the Vince McMahon

documentary, that's worth a watch too.

So, yeah, great documentary so far.

Can't wait to get into the other episodes.

If you have not watched episode one yet,

when they come to talk to Jimmy,

mouth of the south heart,

and he is sitting outside of his palatial,

palatial estate palatial estate holy

palatial wrestling paid well so um do you

remember hulk's weird show that was like

knight rider with a boat

Thunder Alley?

Thunder Alley, maybe?

Is that right, CrossFit?

Thunder Alley?

It was not good.

It was not good.

Branduni asks how this guy has time to

watch every podcast, interview, movie,

etc.

Does he work?

I do work.

I do.

And...

What I do is most podcasts I listen

to, uh, at one point five speed.

And I really just listen as I'm working.

That is my background noise while I'm

working.

Now, as for the documentaries,

those need my full attention.

And that's what I watch in the evening.

So there's that I'm talented.

I know how to multitask.

Jerry the King Lawler.

Yep.

God,

I hated him when I was a kid.

His arrogant ass as the broadcaster.

Gosh, I hated him.

So anyway,

train all of that's a rude question.

Yeah.

People are entitled to their opinions.

I'm okay with that.

What I'm going to leave you with today

is Jason Grubb did a podcast yesterday

about Legends.

I'm a big supporter of the Masters

community.

I do want to play a little Thunder

in Paradise.

That's what it is, Corey.

He must have Googled.

This is Jason Grubb talking about what

happened at Legends and the aftermath with

CrossFit.

And it kind of goes back to their

release of information.

So I'm going to play that for you

now.

That night,

we're eating pizza and I see CrossFit

Games is posted.

Four athletes punch their ticket to the

games in Del Mar.

Dallin, James, Olivia, and...

Abby.

Abby.

Boom.

This is CrossFit.

Huge post.

Beautiful pictures.

Huge post.

Not one mention of the fact that this

was the first Masters semifinal event ever

took place in Del Mar.

Not mentioned.

Nothing.

Okay.

So that's that.

The next morning, they do have a post.

It has one picture of Becca Voigt,

which she's awesome.

She's iconic.

Great picture.

of her.

She was a games athlete back in the

day, so they're going to leave with that.

No other pictures,

but they did list our names.

So a nice after the fact.

But here's where I'm frustrated.

This is the Legends Championship.

This is a team that took Masters athletes

into a bigger competition for the past,

however, eight years or whatever.

This team runs the Masters games.

Not a freaking mention from CrossFit about

the excitement around the first Masters

in-person semifinals ever.

Nothing.

Post-Legends.

That

so gonna leave you with that i do

agree with a lot of what he said

it wouldn't have taken much to put out

a post with some pictures from the event

and who made it to the crossfit games

i think that would have been cool um

wish they would have done that um again

it goes back to where is media today

and i don't think they are with they're

up with the times

Wayne says,

I had a training partner that was in

no holds barred with Hulk Hogan.

Didn't have good things to say about him.

If you watch episode one,

you can tell that Bret the Hitman Hart

does not like Hulk Hogan.

But he does give him kudos about some

other stuff.

But you can tell by the look on

his face that there's going to be some

stuff coming that is what people don't

like about Hulk Hogan.

So, Shanna says, who cares about Masters,

right?

I think that is a big sentiment.

And that's how Masters athletes feel.

And it wouldn't have taken much to put

up a social media post about the people

that qualified.

Damn, no smear campaign against WFP today,

but against CrossFit.

How the turns table.

There you go.

You never know what you're going to get

on here, Lito.

Never know.

It's almost like under Jenna,

she needs many teams for various things so

that we don't miss stuff like that.

I think that I don't know.

I don't know if socials is different than

like the documentary releases.

I don't know the structure to know is

Jenna over all of that.

Some of that, I don't know.

Well, guys, it's been fun.

It's been real.

I'll be back tomorrow.

Hopefully,

I've got to go pick up a car

at the mechanic,

but I think I can do it in

the morning.

With that,

hopefully we'll be back tomorrow,

and if not,

I'll see you on Glidden Things tomorrow

night at five-thirty.

With that, have a great day.

Bye, guys.
