well we already have fergie's question of
the week and it's for jamie
Would you rather lose control of your
stomach or teach an entire class that has
lost control of theirs?
Lose control of my own stomach for sure.
No doubt.
I mean,
I would lose control of my own stomach
if I was teaching a class and everyone
did.
Right.
Yeah, so we are back,
and actually our producer's on her way in.
Her laptop just restarted, of course,
right as she did that.
So don't forget to get your chocolate

been rectified and the code works
beautifully and people have taken
advantage of it over the last week so
make sure you get yours um so catch
up uh nfl's back
uh detroit got a little more than i
think they bargained for today holy smokes
it feels like a loss it feels like
a loss but at the end of the
day it's still it's still a win it's
gonna show us a win but holy smokes
that one was a tough one to watch
but i have i have corey in the
chat here who i know is a saints
fan
It was probably not thinking the same
thing on the other end as the saints
came all the way back to take Detroit
to overtime.
Detroit scored on the first position.
The saints scored on the second.
They decided to go for two and the
win, which I love.
Yeah.
I love that so much.
But Tyler shook through it out of the
back of the end zone.
I thought they had it for sure.
I mean,
he was able to make every throw that
he wanted.
I was like, Oh, they got it.
crazy uh the texans gave larry uh chest
pain and i don't i don't know which
team carolyn's picking this year i don't
know if it's forty niners or buffalo i'm
in there both i know so right now
i'm gonna go for both one of them
starts getting hot i will pick that one
whatever one's going further in the year
and if they can meet in the finals
that's best case scenario
I'm a win-win type person.
I'm good.
And the Bills gave Larry chest pains when
they beat the Texans today.
Hi, Bears.
I've never had a team score that many
touchdowns in a game.
I don't even know what to do with
myself.
They scored eight touchdowns today.
Eight.
Fifty-nine points.
I know.
I saw.
What?
It was so fun to watch,
but their defense is so bad,
they almost had to score that much just
to win the game.
Or Bryce Young has gotten a whole lot
better.
Let's hope it's the latter,
but I don't think it's that.
I think it's that our defense is really,
really bad.
Yeah,
I feel like our defense is not good.
yeah that's points on yeah it doesn't
totally matter you just better score like
every time you have a ball well we
you know we have ben johnson who was
the lions offense coordinator when they
scored all the points all the time and
their defense couldn't stop a soul right
so i don't know if he's just brought
that whole mentality to chicago
But I am so used to a great
defense with absolutely no offense.
It has been crazy.
Clock,
I've calculated that the Bears will have
to score eighty-six points to win the NFC
Championship and ninety-eight to win the
Super Bowl.
I believe those calculations.
Apparently strip sacks are no longer a
thing of the Saints on defense.
I didn't watch any football today because
when I got home, so we,
we did this celebration basically of my
season so far or the games.
Cause I was away all summer.
Yeah.
And then last weekend I went home for
the long weekend.
So this is the first weekend I've actually
been here.
But then when I got back,
I watched the tennis match.
Did you guys watch the U S open?
Have you guys been watching the U S
open?
See, that's what I watched today.
I watched.
The finals with Ben and the German.
Forget it.
He's the break number one.
So I used to watch tennis all the
time,
but I was way more a women's tennis
fan than a men's because there's more
volleying.
The men just hit such hard shots and
it's over quick.
It's not exciting for me to watch.
I love it.
They're so athletic.
And like,
I'm just looking at the way they're moving
on the court.
Like it's, I love that sport.
yeah i woke up this morning they were
announcing the winning prize five point
five million i was like damn there's so
much money and we picked the wrong sport
yeah tennis and golf both yeah like it's
ridiculous and then one's a lot harder on
the body than the other yeah f i
watched f-one this morning i woke up early
to watch the spanish grand prix
I think Max Verstappen is making a hundred
million dollars a year now in that sport.
Lando just,
Lando just signed an extension.
I'm sure it's close to that being the
world champ.
But not actual races, right?
Yeah.
I don't even know how that works.
So I, yeah,
I just know that that's what he,
Max makes about a hundred grand a year,
a hundred million a year.
Sports is busy right now.
And then USA beat France for women's
basketball.
So the World Cup there.
Just so much to watch.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love sports.
Not Lando Calrissian, KDL.
That is only for geeks who are into
Star Wars.
Lando Norris,
the McLaren driver in F-Wars.
uh scott at our age golf is probably
a better choice to pick up i played
a lot of golf in my younger days
that you think crossfit is frustrating
like not throwing my clubs with success
for the day i think i played golf
last weekend for the first time in a
couple years um
and i find eighteen is like long to
play yes nine's the perfect amount yep by
the time you get to like hold twelve
thirteen you're like if you don't have if
you're not like having a great day you're
just kind of over it i love playing
a nine nine hole game is great i
used to play four or five times a
week but nine in those times just because
it was a quick
a couple hours I find I tweak my
stroke so much during the course of a
round that ending at nine is good for
me because then I stop tweaking and I
just move on with my day so Jamie
you went to see Pitbull I did Thursday
night went and saw Pitbull it was
incredible and you are still recovering
today yeah I don't know I'm just sick
but I mean maybe that got me run
down I don't know
All the people.
Yeah, Lil Jon was the opener.
I would have been satisfied just watching
him.
It was so good.
Lil Jon was the best part?
I mean, they were equally as good,
but I was floored after Lil Jon.
It was like graduating high school,
basically.
It was just like going to the club
back in the day.
Yeah.
It was just so hype.
When Little John comes on the radio,
I can't lie.
I get so hyped.
And I got to hope there's no cops
around because I'm probably going AD when
he comes on.
But the same thing for Pitbull for me.
Those are like my two guilty pleasures.
He has good hype songs.
Yes.
There's a lot of them on my playlist
when I do open workouts and stuff like
that.
No, he's got some good songs.
Did he bring the East Side Boys?
No.
But Lil Jon came back out towards the
end of his set and they did a
few together.
That was the highlight.
And Nicole came with me.
It was like a forties women hype dance
party.
There was...
Fourteen-year-olds and seventy-year-olds.
It was... It was crazy.
And so many people...
I didn't even realize, like,
that people go and, like, they had their,
like, black slacks, white shirt, and,
like, tie, and then, like, the bald head,
like, things over their hair.
Like, so many people dressed up.
Mr. Worldwide.
One concert I want to go to is
Celine Dion.
I've been seeing Celine all over my
Instagram all day because she just came
back and did her first concert.
I think yesterday.
I've heard nothing but good things about
Celine Dion and cancer.
I just want it.
So me and Lex were talking.
We're like, are we going to France to,
to go see one of her shows next
year?
So then I started looking at dates and
I was like,
maybe I just escaped for a weekend and
go to a Celine concert.
so i learned a long time ago i'm
not good at a concert that's that's like
a lot of slow music like i went
to see chicago it was really bad like
i just wanted it's great it was great
music i just it's not my kind of
go to see a concert and so i
just learned that a long time ago but
i did want to tell you something i've
been excited to tell carolyn this all day
And so I bought tickets yesterday to go
see Rocky in concert.
So for the fiftieth anniversary of the
original Rocky movie,
they're going to show Rocky on a big
screen in a theater with a live orchestra
playing the soundtrack.
Oh my God.
There's so many parts on fire.
No easy way out.
You're going Rocky four.
This is all next one.
Okay.
Rocky one is the fiftieth anniversary.
But what songs do you like?
Well,
there aren't very many like singable songs
from the original Rocky.
That's why it's an orchestra playing it
because it's all that like,
but when he's boxing and he's training and
all the pump music,
can you imagine feeling the orchestra of
that?
Yeah, it's going to be powerful.
Like that's going to be so freaking cool.
Yeah.
Where is this at?
So I'm actually going to the land of
Andrew Sten down to Cincinnati.
It's the closest it came to Columbus.
So we have to go down and get
a hotel in Cincinnati for afterwards.
But it is.
I am so stoked.
I feel like I need to get Ronica
tickets for that.
Oh,
you wouldn't even be able to keep her
in the seat.
I know.
Like,
I love Rocky and she makes my fandom
look like peanuts.
Yep.
Speaking of the training montage,
I don't know how to say that in
English.
Montage.
It's a French word.
The training montage is Rocky IV,
you guys.
I know.
That is not the fiftieth anniversary.
Did you see the one Polar made for
Raptus?
I actually,
that was part of this conversation because
it kind of meshed in.
And so I have the screen share.
I love that.
Anytime there's, you know,
that scene from Rocky, I'm all for it.
I love it.
So Raptus doing the hanging sit-ups off of
the box, and he puts a side-by-side.
I love this.
And now it won't go.
There we go.
You can't hear the sound.
Well, I don't.
It's copyrighted music.
I can't.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
Play up to seven seconds.
Okay.
Are those ginger shots?
Is that what that was?
Like a turmeric ginger?
Yeah.
Yeah.
anyway pure gold this is incredible yeah
it is uh thank you Fergie that is
one of the songs from the original Rocky
that is the that thing by the great
Bill Conti see Fergie gets it
None of this Rocky IV stuff.
Yeah, it was great for training montage,
all of that stuff.
Carolyn's on mute so I can keep talking.
Because my computer keeps making a little
sound,
so I've been trying to mute in between
when I talk so that you guys don't
hear the little...
But the Rocky IV soundtrack is by far
the best one.
For like a pop music soundtrack,
I had it on CD.
I listen to it all the time.
I love it.
No Easy Way Out is like my favorite
song of all the Rockies,
but
The storyline of Rocky I is take away
the training montage and the rock music
and all that stuff.
The storyline,
the storyline about a guy who has
absolutely nothing and is given the
opportunity to have something.
But going to Russia and your best friend
died in front of your eyes.
Your best friend?
That's a stretch.
Okay, your train partner, everything.
Everything.
And you're going to Russia and you're just
given nothing to train compared to his
training.
Come on now.
He won the crowd over.
It's great.
It's great.
All right.
Yeah, rival.
Apollo was his rival.
It's a friend rival.
Come on now.
A friend rival.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's the line, Larry.
That's the line.
I can't beat him.
What are you saying?
I can't beat him,
but if I go the distance,
nobody's ever gone the distance with
Creed.
Yeah, that's the line.
And then my wife always messes up the
line when Mickey says,
you're going to eat lightning and crap
thunder.
My wife cannot get that right.
The stuff that Rocky eats and craps is
all over the map with my wife.
so anyway i'm so excited for that uh
i i happened to see it on instagram
that they were doing it and then i
had to like dig and find tickets and
the closest place was coming was
cincinnati so that's where i'm headed it's
about two hours to downtown a little
farther than i thought good well the
problem i'm saying two hours because it's
going to be heavy traffic when i go
in to do that
Um, if there's no traffic,
it's probably an hour and a half.
Yeah, that's about it.
That's kind of what it is, Corey.
You're going to eat rain and crap
tornadoes, stuff like that.
Shannon,
we're going to get into all that stuff
later for sure.
Um, the last thing, uh,
I finally have caught up on most of
my TV.
Oh, thank goodness.
I did not watch Reacher yet from this
week.
But I watched all of them.
Why didn't I let you guys talk about
all these?
But I'm caught up on Lioness except for
tonight's episode.
Same.
Caught up on everything.
But this week's Reacher.
Dang it.
I really wanted your reaction on this one.
You've already watched one from like
Thursday.
You were at Pitbull.
Yeah.
When did we watch it?
I don't know.
I think we watched it Wednesday night.
Isn't that when it comes out?
Yeah, whatever, that night.
I think we might have watched it Wednesday
night.
Yeah, I didn't.
I have not watched it yet this week.
I love Five solely for Mickey.
Get up, you son of a bitch,
because Mickey loves you and I didn't hear
no bell.
Yeah, I like that line.
I like that part of Five,
but Five is such a train wreck.
I think Five's the worst one.
By far.
Yeah,
I think five is the worst one they
made.
I wish they didn't make that one.
Yeah, because I like all the creeds.
I like Rocky Balboa that came after five.
I just do not like five.
I still watch it occasionally,
but I watch it more for how bad
it is, not for how good it is.
Guys, I hear all the poop gate stuff.
We're going to get to that later.
Trust me.
But the first thing I want to talk
about in the CrossFit space is what a
Palooza is this coming weekend.
Crazy.
That crept up fast.
Yeah, it did.
Three of the four teams have totally been
announced.
I don't get why they're waiting.
I don't understand why they're waiting.
Is someone not confirmed?
Are they keep changing someone?
Why wouldn't you release the rosters as
early as possible to get people in the
seats?
Or people excited to go see this athlete
or that athlete?
Makes no sense why we don't know the
roster yet.
I think they don't know.
But even the proven ones,
if you knew what they were,
just release them.
Well, they're released.
No, those ones,
but like it still took a long time.
I think they, honestly,
what I think Waterpalooza was trying to
do, and I respect this,
is they're trying to keep excitement going
leading up into the event.
It gives them something to release that
people want to pay attention to,
so it doesn't escape your mind that it's
coming.
So I'm okay with them doing a slow
release on it, but this outcasting,
that's the one we all want to know
about.
Right.
Right.
And we've been waiting for it because
that's the one.
Like,
we kind of could predict the other ones
to some degree.
I was shocked at some of the brute
ones.
Yeah.
For sure.
Agreed.
And we can pull them up and go
through them real quick.
Yeah, do that.
I have them, Vicky,
so I can pull it up real quick.
So Training Think Tank was like the first
one, and it's got Noah Olsen,
Chandler Smith, Travis Mayer,
Hannah Black, Annika Greer,
and Lydia Fish.
I think that was pretty predictable.
Right, correct.
Then we go to Proven.
Ricky Garrard, Jay Crouch, Colton Mertens,
Kyra Milligan, Maddie Sturt,
Olivia Kerstetter.
Not a single surprise in the batch there.
We go to Brute,
and here's where the surprises kind of
get.
And that's Emma Lawson, Eileen Wurz,
Janie Chevre, Jason Hopper, Dallin Pepper,
James Sprague.
i think the men that's who it should
be of course i i'm wondering like did
amy kringle say i just need a break
and i think i think that's what her
coach said um well she's got she's focused
on rogue wfp now and she just came
off wfp so i don't think she wanted
to do that one it's a lot of
travel for her haley adams didn't want to
do it
That's who I'm surprised didn't pop in
here.
Right.
Yeah.
And then Austin on the other side.
I'm wondering if Austin isn't going for
outcasts.
Right.
And that's why Haley's like, well,
if Austin's not going, I'm not going.
Well, Haley has also been doing, I think,
something for Red Bull.
I think she was like in India or
something.
I forget where she is.
Yeah.
don't know where she is right now she's
traveling and doing something i think for
red bull so maybe she hasn't been training
as much it still amazes me that haley
is not doing wfp as a red bull
athlete that's a good point yeah is red
bull like giving money uh like to wfp
or they just i think so yeah they
are do you did you say do you
think they're giving them money
Yeah.
Like, are they like a major, like,
I know that they're,
they always have their tent for the runs
outside and, and when we go through, like,
is that like the main besides like the
main investors,
like that's our main sponsor, isn't it?
Right.
Well,
So I heard the first year that both
Red Bull and Adidas were more of like
product giveaway sponsors.
And then I've heard,
and none of this is confirmed.
This is just what I've heard in a
rumor mill, is year two,
both companies decided to make a financial
investment.
And it was in the seven figures for
each of them.
Wow.
But I do not know that for a
fact.
That is all rumor.
So I want that to be clear.
The OutKast team,
what we know so far is Danielle Brandon,
Justin Medeiros, Ellie Turner.
We don't know the other three.
I feel like Ariel has to be there.
I agree.
But Ariel's in the same situation as Amy.
She did games, did WFP,
has to do Rogue.
Yeah, good point.
Ariel doesn't have to travel all the way.
Across the ocean, yeah.
And Ariel's very good friends, I think,
with Danielle.
I'm sure with Ellie as well,
but I know she's good friends with
Danielle.
I see Ariel being on that team.
Yeah.
Ariel's a bit like James, though,
that she likes to compete.
She's ready to compete, yeah.
Right.
She's going to do what she can for
as long as she can.
For sure.
I don't think she's someone that would say
no to an opportunity like this.
So they've been slowly releasing the
workouts as well.
The first one was Robbo.
I think we talked about that a while
ago.
It's Rob Orlando tribute workout,
which is the thirty clean and jerks at
three hundred and two hundred.
And now that we're, like,
seeing the teams, I'm, like, looking at,
you know,
Olivia versus Hannah on the woman's side.
Don't think that the Brute have a female
that can even match anywhere close to what
those two are going to be able to
pull for their teams.
So, like,
I think just on the female side on
that one, Brute's third.
Yeah.
Is there four teams?
Four.
Yeah.
Who am I missing?
Well, you're missing...
TTT.
TTT, yeah.
We had the Proven Brute.
The OutKast team.
And OutKast.
Yeah, and OutKast.
Yeah,
I guess I don't know who's right for
the three hundred, or for the two hundred,
but yeah.
I mean, that's a cool workout.
Yeah, I like that.
Vertigo is the four-time,
ninety-foot handstand walk,
each conga style.
Twelve-nine alternating legless rope
climbs, ninety-foot handstand walk each.
of nine alternated being like legless rope
climbs,
a ninety foot handstand walk each and then
twelve nine alternate rope climb and
another handstand walk and I rollers or
high ballers, high ballers.
You, you go,
I go pairs alternating full rounds of
fifty synchro wall balls,
fifty synchro box jump,
thirty five synchro wall ball,
thirty five synchro box jump,
twenty synchro wall ball,
twenty synchro box jump.
And I and I do I mean, J.R.
has been very clear that he wanted he
wants there to be a team component to
this.
And it's pretty obvious on some of these
for sure.
The way team workouts are written are so
much more confusing to read.
But I know that they're going to be
a great show and visually it's going to
be awesome when you see it.
But when you just at a first glance
are reading, you're like, okay,
what's going to happen in this?
And then you're trying to visually see how
the races are going to be.
I don't think it always translates to a
great show.
That's what's difficult about the team.
But listening to JR speak about each one
of the events on, um,
I think it was a Pedro on coffee
pods and wads order.
Yep.
I could start like,
I could start seeing what the workout was
going to look like way better than how
it was written when he was like actually
explaining and diving in deep on each one
of those.
It was cool.
Now we have shoulder season, four-time,
forty-two chest-to-bar pull-ups, thirty,
twenty-four calorie row,
eighteen overhead squats,
forty-two pull-ups, thirty-eight,
twenty-four calorie row,
eighteen overhead squats.
Time cap, ten minutes.
Then we have bagged and tagged.
Round one for time,
twelve-nine ring muscle-up,
three sandbag over the yoke.
Top eight move on.
Round two for time,
twelve-nine ring muscle-up,
three sandbag over the yoke.
Top four move on.
Round three for time,
twelve-nine ring muscle-up,
three sandbag over the yoke.
And you're done.
Bring in a little bit of the rogue
elimination style.
Yeah.
like that in a team competition yeah i
actually like the elimination style it's
just weird in the middle of a competition
yeah because the best are pay for it
in this in this particular one you could
have three training think tank or three
whatever group proven in the finals yep
like you just keep going
The thing that's interesting about this
one is the weight goes up right for
the sandbag.
And like a lot of times,
some of the stronger athletes,
they struggle in the early rounds when
some when other people that aren't could
probably not even do the last weight.
Let's just say, for instance,
it's a snafler.
You have to be so fast and some
of them don't move as fast,
but they would be better on the later
rounds.
But they have to actually make it there.
right so that'll be the interesting part
is seeing them race in cycle speed of
the ring muscle ups and the sandbag and
seeing if the strong athletes are able to
make it through those cuts because then
after that they're going to be better at
moving the heavier ones i think everyone
can move the heavier ones but i'm just
saying in general those early rounds are
tough
So then we go to two minutes of
fame.
It is trio one, six synchro bar complexes,
two athletes,
max rep worm thrusters and remaining time.
Trio two rest worm,
twenty two hundred and eighty pound,
two hundred and eighty two pound time cap.
Oh, two hundred, two hundred.
What the heck?
I don't know what that is.
I can't see it.
Two hundred and eighty-two pounds is what
it looks like.
Oh,
the worm is two hundred and eighty-two
pounds.
Yeah.
Okay.
And then trio two, I guess,
does the same thing.
It better be two hundred and eighty-two
and not two hundred and eighty.
Jeez.
It's got to be that precise.
It's got to be, I don't know.
Then echo on Diane.
I think we've seen different versions of
this, um,
fifteen alternating rounds for time,
five rounds per athlete,
nine strict deficit handstand pushups,
nine, seven calorie echo bike,
nine deadlifts.
This is going to come down to those,
um,
strict deficit handstand pushups for sure.
Yup.
And who has them on broken cycle speed
there.
men doing echo bike for nine cows and
the female for seven like the men just
do that so so fast they can just
sprint those yeah so i'm gonna take a
break from this and hit hit a couple
questions uh corey leonard asks better
social media colton or ariel not even
close ariel that's not even in the same
ballpark to me yeah i i think they're
both great i'm sorry jamie i talked over
you
His is really good, but I do agree.
I think the nod goes to Ariel.
It's not even close.
It's close.
The amount of creativity, originality,
the editing that Ariel does.
Colton's not even the same.
We're not even talking the same thing.
He comes up with some clever stuff.
He surprises me.
No, his stuff is good.
But Ariel is amazing.
It's she's the best.
She has hit a groove for sure.
And she definitely is more consistent with
hers.
Yes.
I don't get how she doesn't have more
followers.
I don't know.
Did you see the,
I think it was Tyler Watkins did the
thing where Hiller's video with Heidi
actually has over a hundred thousand views
and it's, it's in and he,
and Tyler's a big barstool sports guy and
he was comparing it to Boston with the
boys, which is a big sports podcast and,
And they only average about one hundred
and twenty five thousand views.
So Hiller is really like almost competing
into mainstream stream sports media.
And so we may be closer than we
think to like achieving that.
I need to watch all the whole thing
of Tyler's.
I wasn't able to get through it all
with all the football games today,
but I saw a good chunk of it.
And yeah,
I just thought it was an interesting look
at, you know,
we're always like they're way up here and
we're down here and,
and maybe the best of our,
of what we have can compete on when
they put together a product like killer
did with that.
Yeah.
Eric Mackey says,
just glad we get to watch all elite
teams.
Any discussion thoughts,
everything going paywall next year.
um i'm not supposed to go to the
paywall though i i think it has to
go to a paywall at some point because
they're not getting sponsors yeah i
understand that but like if your biggest
thing is how do we compete with these
mainstream sports
You're not going to get viewers.
That is the one way that we're never
going to attract anyone.
But you're fooling yourself if you don't
think that those mainstream people are
behind a paywall.
To watch anything on ESPN,
you either have to buy their app or
you have to pay for cable or some
kind of streaming service.
And Flow Elite, aren't they allowing...
Let's say like a competition like crash to
actually give higher prize money as well
to the athletes because it's behind the
paywall.
So it's also going back to the athletes
too.
Like,
I just think it's a natural progression.
It sucks.
Cause like you don't want to pay,
but at the same time,
if you're a true fan,
like they'll just do the subscription.
It's a little expensive when you just want
to watch one comp every few months.
I wish that there was some sort of
weekend subscription versus a monthly.
I really want Holy to figure out something
that you can just pay for the comp
ten bucks.
Because I think that would work.
It's the monthly one that is just the
annoying thing.
Yeah,
and they would know their return on
investment or what to...
So the one thing that Flow does have
that a lot of people don't take advantage
of is they have a pause button.
So you can buy the subscription for that
month,
watch the event you're going to watch,
and then put it on pause.
And when you do that,
then they offer you lower priced versions
to come back.
Um,
there is a way to kind of game
it.
I thought you meant like the live,
you can pause the live.
Okay.
Pause your subscription.
You can actually pause your subscription.
Okay.
Immediately after the weekend.
And you still have it for the rest
of that month.
Cause you paid for that month,
but you don't have to pay it.
Like if next month there's no events,
you don't have to pay for it.
But I do agree.
I think the pay structure could be better.
But we are one of twenty five sports
on Flow Elite.
And it would if to change that,
they'd need to change their whole pricing
approach for all of those sports,
not just ours.
Why not just charge through YouTube?
Because YouTube can be manipulated in so
many ways, the views, the counts,
all of that stuff,
so you don't really know what your
investment is.
And Flow can actually sell advertising on
their channel.
They can go out and get their own
advertisers and sell it on their own
channel.
where YouTube controls all of that.
Plus, if you do it through YouTube,
YouTube takes thirty five percent of
everything paid to them.
So.
So, OK.
All right.
I think that was everything I wanted to
address after shock.
Okay, fifty calorie run, each co-ed pair,
forty synchro worm facing burpees,
three work at a time,
thirty synchro kettlebell goblet squats,
four work worm style, fifty calorie ski,
each co-ed pair.
That's for...
the first ten minutes, I think.
Then the next ten minutes for time is
fifty-calorie run, forty-synchro,
warm-facing burpees, three-work.
So it's the same thing, over,
and then twenty-one for time.
At the twenty-one minute mark,
it's the same thing one more time.
Are they using, like, an air runner here?
That's what it appears.
This is the hard thing about our sport.
Trying to describe to people like all the
events quickly, like just doesn't happen.
You know, like you go and do, Oh,
what are you gonna do at the competition?
Well, on the first work,
I'm going to do fifty Cal run this,
this,
this is the next time I'm going to
do.
Yeah.
Agreed.
It's so hard to explain our sport and
the events we're about to take on.
and they wouldn't even understand like no
you can't just explain it to somebody
because there there's just no following
that like we're reading all of these and
like to someone if you were to like
even try to explain anything it's that
makes no sense um
Pay-per-view fitness racing, bold choice.
Here's my answer to you, Corey,
because you've actually said this to me.
Watch an event and see how empty the
seats are.
Maybe if they charged,
more people would show up to the live
event because it's the only way to see
it that way.
People are not showing up, period.
The one thing you're going to find out
real quick is who is truly committed to
this sport or not.
And you're going to know real quick
whether it's worth investing anything into
this sport because you're going to know
those numbers.
You're going to know if more people show
up live.
You're going to know all those things
right away.
And maybe for once we just stop lying
to ourselves and we figure out what the
track of this sport is and we right-size
it to whatever that might be.
I don't disagree with this either.
I think they're overpriced.
Correct.
I think the ticket prices at live events
are way, way, way overpriced.
When it's more than a college football
game or an NFL football game to go
to the CrossFit games, that's ridiculous.
Because people won't shop also after.
They've already spent everything to just
make it there.
So the vendors aren't making any money.
There's no wins.
um okay did we do modal madness uh
part one female one female female one male
one unbroken sets of five ten fifteen
twenty twenty five etc triple unders then
four time female two male two max
handstand hold from press out
Then, four-time female three, male three,
eighty-foot dumbbell Curtis P relay,
which is dumbbell clean, two lunges,
shoulder to overhead.
Curtis P's make me want to vomit.
I don't like Curtis P's.
I've never done them with dumbbells.
I've only ever done them with a barbell.
I've only ever done them with a barbell,
too.
so we're seeing who figured out the triple
under huh if you watched um dalen and
hopper on i think it was on maybe
on hopper's youtube channel they were
doing like a a gymnastics skills pig like
you know like you pick an event and
Oh, yeah.
Like horse?
Horse, yeah.
Or pig is the right.
Yeah, they were going for pig.
But they were practicing a lot of the
press to handstand hold and stuff like
that.
Jason was really good at them.
Jason was definitely better than Dallin at
the inverted skills there.
That's Carolyn's computer, guys.
She told you that question.
yeah carolyn's fan is clicking something
underneath her computer they can they just
all want they think it's a percolator they
all want coffee now it's fine a little
late for coffee um then divide and conquer
for time co-ed pairs waterfall style beach
run
Uh, one ton move.
So just like the years past at SoCal,
you have to move all the stuff from
one end of the beach to the other
end of the beach and then into one
ton move as a team.
So move it all back and all athletes
wear a five, eleven vest time cap,
thirty minutes.
I love this one.
I always like watching these,
this one that's when they do it.
I like to see how many things people
can hold and move across the beach.
at one time i highly suggest that people
at one time i highly suggest that people
watch the like watch the like
the podcast that jr talked about all of
these workouts because everyone that
you're describing like now that i've heard
him talk about them i can visually see
them so i think like having that in
your mind before watching it this weekend
could be good so it just helps understand
some of these team workouts because
they're just written differently and
you'll understand who's on the play and
how they might strategize that so highly
recommend you go check that out because it
was a good um podcast
And I think JR put a lot of
time into programming the team side.
Oh, yeah.
He really thought everything through and
styles of events and people on the floor,
total volume.
It's a really good listen.
I always like listening to JR speak about
programming.
I always let you two with that stuff
because, to me,
as a spectator and just a spectator,
I just want to see them.
do the test what the test is for
me doesn't really matter but i know there
are programming geeks that want to know
all the programming and that's what i like
about this show you guys can worry about
the programming i worry about like who's
watching and all of that stuff but um
so what are you excited to see at
socal and do you have any predictions for
the finish
It's hard to do when we don't know
the full outcast team.
I really wish I knew.
Yeah.
I wish I knew the full outcast team.
Cause I think they might have a shot.
I don't know.
I it's tough.
Cause like the, the, the group boys,
I think you would give them the nod,
but I think their team is just weaker
with the girls.
So I kind of,
I kind of would lead towards the proven
team overall.
Some of these workouts seem really geared
towards like Olivia.
Yeah.
with it being so team dependent,
my prediction is it's proven to win
because they all hang out together.
They do those camps together.
They're always together.
They're always working together.
They all know each other.
I think this, I just,
I think that's going to be a huge
advantage in this style of team workout.
But then that also like makes me think
about training think tank
and the amount of times that they train
together and the boys.
Now,
I don't know where Chandler's hamstring is
in terms of health coming off the WFP.
I think he'll be fine.
It'll be basically...
How long after WFP is this?
About a month?
So I think Chandler should be fine.
I mean,
those boys have trained together and run
many, many team workouts,
and I think you have someone like Lydia
who is...
very well-rounded, extremely fit.
You have specialists in different types of
movements in Anika and Hannah.
So I'm very curious with that team.
Like a lot of people are counting them
out,
but I think that they have a lot
going for them in different workouts.
I'm excited to see them.
I agree.
Depending on who's on OutKast,
I could see TTT pulling off second.
Yeah.
I think they can upset.
I honestly,
I'm going to say something that nobody's
going to agree with,
but I think TTT could pull off wins.
Like...
Oh, yeah.
Because there are things that Chandler is
really freaking good at.
There are things that Travis is really
freaking good at.
He's probably one of the best with the
wall ball.
Oh, yeah.
By far.
And Noah's great at things.
He's perfect team athlete.
I would say Noah's biggest weakness is a
weekend.
Like the games just at some point he
would make some stupid error or poop out
because he went out too hard or something
like that.
Yeah, exactly.
KDL,
I think you are just looking at names
and this is a team competition.
I agree with Terry.
Dallin will definitely not sell his soul
this year.
No rhabdo this year?
I don't think it's...
I know he knows it's not worth the
rest of his season.
Where did he get his rhabdo?
On that bike.
At SoCal.
But is it really on the bike?
That's like... It was in his kidneys,
it was in his arms.
What did he ever say?
I never heard.
Because like...
Yeah,
the bike might have been the thing that,
like, tipped him over.
But, like,
I've had rhabdo once in my life before,
and it was in my arms.
Yeah.
But, like, that was, like,
Mary workout was the last thing that kind
of caused it.
But it was, like,
the dehydration from the six K rough run
that we had that, you know,
there was many things that led.
So I don't know if I would put
the whole thing on the echo bike.
Shana says legs.
That's what I said.
Yeah.
Cool.
Not cool, but like...
Shana actually heard quads in particular.
Interesting.
I can see it.
That's not one that you hear as much,
like as frequently.
I'm excited to see the events, period.
I love when it's a team because I
do think that you go harder to not
disappoint your teammates sometimes.
And I think that's why we saw Dallin
with Rabdo,
because he was willing to push to limits
that he wouldn't for just himself.
That workout is brutal like he did last
year.
That's the disgusting workout.
What I think what's crazy is he did
it the year before.
So then it's not only disgusting.
You've done it before.
You know how horrible it is.
What I like for this year is that
there's four teams.
I think that'll make a big difference in
terms of the races, I hope.
Because what was it last year?
Was it three or two teams?
Just the two.
Because in a two-team race,
like if someone's ahead,
it's not as fun to watch as if
the team is just dominating.
Right.
But with four teams,
I think you're going to have, you know,
the order is going to shuffle,
and I think the leaderboard could be very
interesting and close throughout the whole
weekend.
So looking forward to that.
Do I know if Shelby Neal is done
competing?
I do not know.
She go back to school or continue like
work or something.
She work in it that she Yeah,
I thought.
I don't know.
I really just don't know.
Yeah.
So this is on Flow Elite as well?
Waterpalooza?
Yep.
I heard Waterpalooza,
like the age groups and stuff,
but not the elite teams or whatever.
So it's going to be like the game.
It's on Flow,
but it's not behind the paywall.
Unless you're age group.
The elite teams are public.
Correct.
Got it.
Are there a lot of age groups?
Is there like every age group in the
games or are they like condensed in like
ten years or something?
I think it's just like their Miami version
for the community.
Now I think they do a lot of
more teams throughout the age groups than
they do individual for this one.
But it's very much like a full-on
community event with just the elites there
to kind of entertain at times.
So the next thing I had is Rogue.
I skipped one, sorry.
Tia.
Tia has a new documentary from Tier.
Carolyn, I didn't even know it was out.
I saw the trailer but never saw the
full thing.
And then I watched it first thing this
morning when I woke up because Carolyn
said it was so good.
It was really good.
It's one of those where it can be
taken two different ways, in my opinion,
and I'll let Carolyn talk.
I think it can either be a tribute
to what she's accomplished or
preparing for what's to come and it's very
typical of a tia video when we don't
know but like in multiple times in it
she says you know the season starts soon
and like if you're done competing you're
not even talking like she's like next
year's season is starting like if you're
done competing you're not even really
talking about that type of stuff and just
to hear her talking about talking about
you know, she's missing, she's fearless.
Like nothing scares her because she's
basically done it all.
Um, well, she did say like,
she's missing that type of like,
I think challenge or like,
she's someone that needs challenges and
we'll be like, Oh,
you don't think I can do it.
I'll come back and do this.
You know?
So I think she's just trying to find
her way.
She got really like, just, yeah,
it was honest in some of her answers
and how she's done over the years.
I really liked the documentary.
Um,
i think the thing that come back i
think the thing that i found striking in
it was that she doesn't feel normal if
she's not doesn't have some kind of fear
of something and for a long time that's
what crossfit was and the different like
could she come back from giving birth that
was a fear
It's all of that, like,
she always has to have these things that
make her uncomfortable,
I guess is the best way to put
it.
Not fear,
but give her uncomfort that she needs to
have in front of her to make her
feel normal.
And so the question is,
is CrossFit enough to do that these days,
or does she have to find that other
thing that puts her in that uncomfortable
space?
Well,
don't you think that's why she went and
did the Pyrox?
Yeah,
like she wanted that world title there.
Yeah.
Well, and she did Olympic weightlifting.
She did bobsledding.
Like,
don't forget all the other things she
dabbled in along the way.
And so it all,
it all matches up with what she said
in this video.
She's always looking for that thing to
make her feel uncomfortable.
And that's what makes her feel normal.
And she talked about just like how heavy
it is, just like on her shoulders,
like just the expectations of
That we basically put on her that anywhere
she shows up, she's supposed to win.
No matter what.
I like the analogy that Shane used about
sitting at the dining room table and
everybody at the table wants to say they
beat her in something,
whether it's this one event or cause
nobody's has beat her at the,
the whole thing,
but they all want to sit at the
table and say like Lucy Campbell can say,
I beat her in X event.
Right.
Right.
And Shane was like, but Tia,
the pressure on her is she doesn't want
to let anybody win any of the events.
And that creates a pressure for her.
And nobody else in CrossFit has that
mental.
Matt did.
Other than Matt and her,
nobody has had that mindset.
Just hearing her speak,
her mindset is just so different, I find,
than...
the other woman that we like compete
against.
And like,
she even says how much she's changed over
the years, um,
in terms of her own mindset.
And yeah, it's just, it's just,
I liked it.
I just like hearing her talk.
Like she's just the best in our sport
that we've, you know, we've ever seen.
So just seeing her speak and her talk
through her journey, I think it's,
I don't know.
It's something that, uh,
She's inspiring in that way and our
champion in our sport.
So try to see what she's doing.
So the very end of the video,
and this is not a spoiler because it's
actually in the trailer as well.
They ask her if she's going to come
back and it ends with her kind of
like giving a smirk to the camera and
then it fades to black.
That's the part I didn't like.
I am so tired of the trolling.
It's just been done, Tia.
If you're coming back,
just tell us you're coming back.
I agree.
There's no way she would let Tia be
that announcement.
Tia doing that video,
if it's going to be an announcement,
it's going to come from her.
She'll be in control of that release in
terms of her channel, I think,
versus any of her sponsors doing it.
I feel like she'll wait.
I think she is such a big star
in this space that her doing it with
Tear is still her doing it.
I agree.
And they can co-own the piece.
So it shows up on both of their
YouTubes, right?
Only Shane knows.
I don't think Shane knows all the time.
I think he knows.
But he didn't know the one year.
He thought she was retiring after the one
games.
He told people that she was retiring,
and then she didn't.
Because that was her plan.
But I think two months later when she
starts training and he sees her training
and he sees just the look in her
eye, he knows she ain't finished.
I don't know.
The way that Amy dominated this year,
like, is that going to be enough to,
to drive her this year in training?
Cause like, you know,
if she does need that, that fire, that,
that challenge,
she probably as the competitor that she
is,
didn't even like people even thinking
about any comparison of Amy to her this
year.
Like for her,
I'm assuming Amy is not even in the
same sandbox.
you know, which I mean, no one is.
So I wonder if she took any,
even if she like,
there's no offense to her because of how
much she's done.
Like she'll use that as fuel in her
training and then possibly come back next
year.
Who knows?
Who knows?
I'm just over the trolling.
I agree.
I would wish you would just say.
If this was her first time,
it's like Brett Favre every freaking year.
It was, am I staying?
Am I retiring?
Am I going to sign with a new
team?
That got real old too.
I just hate that.
One time,
I'll go on the ride with you,
but now this is like time three or
four.
Come on.
That's my biggest problem with it.
I thought it was a good documentary.
I thought it was worth a watch.
I liked the mindset pieces.
I liked how they talked about different
things.
But the last minute just pissed me off.
Fair assessment.
I agree with Larry.
Tia is such a beast,
but even MJ got old.
Still great, but also gets harder.
She hasn't competed in two.
If she comes back,
she will not have competed for two years.
That's just, that is a lot.
Time is undefeated.
I say it all the time.
At some point, you're going to lose.
She's in her thirties now, right?
Yes.
I believe.
Thirty-two or thirty-three, I think.
Maybe Vicky can look it up for us.
I agree, Scott.
Just say it.
Yeah, you're you are right.
Thirty three.
So probably thirty four next season ish,
maybe.
It doesn't last years.
No, no.
I don't think that puts her out of
her comfort zone.
She will be thirty-four at the next games.
So that would make her and Ariel the
same age, right?
I think.
Or maybe Ariel's a year younger.
Ariel might be a year younger.
And she was the old lady.
Yeah.
She took that for me this year.
That was me the year before.
A couple other quick hit announcements.
Rogue has announced a replacement for
Alexis Raptus.
Alexis even though she's doing the Rocky
training montage is not able to compete at
Rogue she withdrew and now Kyra Milligan
has taken her place officially at Rogue
that's good I'm glad they went on the
off the qualifier list they've done that
the last couple years that if someone
withdraws they go to um
to the leaderboard which i like because it
doesn't uh yeah it's just better puts a
little bit more emphasis on the on the
queue tia won't stop till she is
considered the undisputed goat over
froning and fraser i think she already is
great i i consider that
Froning never won in this dominating
fashion.
Matt just didn't stay as long.
I think they have very similar dominating
fashions of winning.
Matt's... I don't... Matt...
The only thing you can say – so
Tia beat Katrin.
Tia beat Annie.
Tia beat Sam.
All of those.
She beat Cara.
Like the top females in the sport in
her time,
she beat every single one of them.
Matt never beat Rich.
Rich did beat Matt.
but i don't know i just you line
them up and tia can say i beat
you all um uh rich made it a
lifestyle matt was dominant but didn't
stay as long as rich
So the GOAT,
when we're talking GOAT at this moment in
time, I am talking GOAT on the floor.
If we go off the floor,
Rich has a whole lot on his resume.
And I will always consider Rich the GOAT
in the male division for sure.
I think it's really questionable adding
Tia into that mix because they both not
only were great on the floor,
they both have been great off the floor.
Tia has a gym in Nashville.
She has a gym in Australia.
She has started a whole camp.
Rich has all the same stuff as well.
I think it's a pretty tight race between
the two off the floor.
But on the floor,
I think Tia has some beat.
The next thing is WFP has announced a
replacement.
Apparently not publicly,
but Bill Leahy got an invite to the
finals in Copenhagen.
I learned this on the barbell spin.
And it is assumed that he is taking
Quinn Robinson's spot.
Not Pat?
Or was Pat outside?
Pat was already outside.
I think he was in the mid-thirties.
He had slipped down.
Yeah, that would be twins.
Yeah.
Okay.
So that's happening.
That's great.
Right that Quinn's having like that peck
one.
Is that a long rehab?
I don't know what the final diagnosis was
on it.
I know it was is not great.
It wasn't like the best case scenario,
for sure.
And I do think it was going to
require surgery.
Yeah,
I know it's going to require surgery,
and I think he's having it sooner.
I saw it in his story at one
point or post,
but I just don't know what the rehab
process is like for that.
If it's like, I mean,
it can't be as much as the Achilles,
I'm assuming, of Pax, but maybe it is.
I don't know.
Surgery on Tuesday.
Oh.
But I think it's great for Bill to
get an opportunity to compete on the big
stage again.
I think he's made incredible strides over
the last year or two.
And this is just another step in the
right direction.
And one of the reasons why WFP is
a great option for a lot of athletes.
If he would have competed in Tour Stop
One...
And I know it was hard because of
where it was placed in the CrossFit game
season.
If he would have done that,
he would have made it no questions asked.
He was up there with James and all
the top athletes at WFP Indianapolis.
Bill is tight with James, right?
I think you're getting that mixed up with
Tudor, maybe.
Is she thinking like Tudor's tight with
the group, like James?
I don't know about Bill.
I don't know about Bill.
I don't know about Bill.
I feel like Bill just trains mostly on
his own.
Yeah.
Yep.
So I don't know who Bill is tight
with on the men's side,
like on a daily basis.
KDL, you know who Bill is.
It's William Leahy IV or whatever.
William.
But I'm just going to call him Bill.
Yeah, Tudor and James.
Tudor and James live fairly close,
so they can...
They've known each other since they were
in the teen division.
Dallin, James,
and Tudor all are from the same area
of the country and all competed as teens.
Tudor was one year younger than the other
two.
And so Tudor actually looked up to the
other two and then they became friends for
a long time.
And you still hear James talk about how
he wishes only good things for Tudor when
they're at competitions and stuff.
All right.
So now the topic everybody's been wanting
to talk about.
Poopgate,
There it is.
Vicky is so fast.
The one thing,
if the poop gate's going on,
this Clydesdale isn't going to have his
tongue out.
Just saying.
So poop gate at High Rocks.
The champion of High Rocks.
Not the champion of height.
There was an event that went down.
The woman that won actually crapped her
pants.
I don't even know how else to put
it.
During the race,
ended up finishing the race anyway and
winning the entire competition.
This has stirred up a tremendous amount of
controversy because people following her
would have a...
Rower seat that had poop on it or
apparatus with poop on it.
What about the cleanliness?
I'll let you guys talk first and then
I'll give my opinion.
Carolyn's turned it back over.
Jamie's not saying anything.
I mean...
It's, I don't,
I don't think I could ever do that.
I, and I know,
I know friends like from my running days
who peed their pants while running.
Like I just,
I physically couldn't do that.
Like I would have to like stop moving,
sit there and think about it just to
go.
So it's just wild to me that.
Like the bridesmaids just kind of slowly
go away.
And just stay in the middle of the
street under the wedding dress.
That would be Jamie going through it.
Yeah.
Oh, no, it's happening.
Yeah.
So I hate to say this,
but I agree with Larry.
From the athlete's perspective, I'm like,
well, I already shit myself.
If they don't stop me,
I'm going to finish.
People do marathons frequently.
Different, but...
Question.
For the Elite Fifteen,
they're the only ones on the race.
For the Elite Fifteens?
I don't think so.
I think other people are on the course.
During the Elite Fifteens, really?
I think so.
I thought it was just them.
And I'm like,
so when she uses the rower,
because she's first,
they would just take her out.
I didn't watch any of it.
I just saw the social media stuff.
I mean,
I've definitely seen Hunter having to deal
with passing.
Clearly not the Elite Fifteen runners.
Okay.
But that might be like men's doubles or
something.
No?
No.
In his personal races.
I'm pretty sure there's other...
other than just the fifteen people like
there's other heats that go off around
them so at some point there's other people
on the floor maybe it's more just in
the running and never in their station um
but which would make sense but there's
gonna be people running around them and
then if there's people that started after
them that are coming through on the floor
the what is wild to me is the
spitting is a penalty that's wild to me
like if you put a penalty in place
for some for
bodily fluids i just it shocks me that
someone didn't come out and be like you
gotta stop we've gotta contain this like
in my mind i'm like do you think
that she thought it wasn't as bad as
what it was and like she's like oh
maybe i'm wearing like black pants no one
will notice like i don't know i don't
know because behind her like i wonder if
she
really knew how bad it looked because you
can't see like you're not like looking
behind you so i'm like you have to
feel smelled it right you have to right
well i lost the sense of smell during
covid so and i still don't have it
so that is a possibility but you have
to feel it when that happens you have
to feel it run down your leg i
mean come on
But here's the thing.
Everybody's getting all up in arms,
but it's not the first time this stuff
has ever happened.
How many competitions have you seen people
pee during double-unders or pee on a box
jump or bodily fluids are coming out all
the time?
I was a judge in the twenty eighteen
regionals when a guy vomited on the air
runner during the three thousand.
the triple three regional,
kept going just,
and it was just shooting off the back
of the air runner.
Blood from hands and people are touching.
Right.
Yeah.
But they go clean that stuff before anyone
else uses that area.
Like even the Pete gets sprayed down.
And every competition I've been at,
like concept two has extra, uh,
equipment to replace as soon as possible
and we've heard the boys and maybe even
fee say that they've like turtle head
poking out or actually maybe poop their
pants during a lift but you've never seen
it and there's never been like a turd
fall out onto the floor and like yeah
pee is one thing poop is a completely
different thing but puke is is just as
bad to me
People throw up all the time at CrossFit
events.
Yeah,
but it gets cleaned up before anyone goes
to that area.
That puke hit an air runner running at
whatever mile an hour it was and was
flying off the back at the judges.
Don't tell me it got cleaned off.
Vicky's dying laughing in the background.
We can see her, but you guys can't,
so I'm just laughing at watching Vicky.
High rocks world finals presented by a
modium.
Oh, geez.
Well,
like most of the blame is on the
high rocks organization for not stopping
it right there because an athlete of her
level is, I mean,
I probably wouldn't in my situation and
your situation,
but there are many athletes that will just
keep going.
Yeah.
Right.
I don't know the qualification process.
I mean, she's one of the best,
if not the best in the high rock
space.
So in my mind, I'm like,
just go qualify somewhere else.
You know,
if that if this was your qualification or
whatever,
but there is still money at each of
these events for them to win.
I don't know their financial situation.
You know, people,
a competitor can will continue.
Is it selfish with the people behind you?
Yes.
But a lot of high-level athletes are
selfish.
So I'm not entirely surprised.
It sucks to see all these pictures of
her like that because I feel bad for
the athlete,
but I also feel bad for the whole
group that was competing.
There's just so much happening.
But I think the real blame falls on
Pyrox.
What did you think of their response that
they posted?
What did they post?
Oh, it was not good.
Basically, if we attack her,
we can never do a high rocks in
our life.
What?
So all you in the chat,
you are now disqualified from ever doing a
high rocks according to the statement that
high rocks made.
They will look for you.
They will find you.
Don't attack the athlete.
Which, I mean... Well, that's fair.
I mean, they're the only ones...
They, as the race letter keep running.
And so that's mostly on them.
Like we can say it's selfish of her,
but if someone
If she wasn't going to stop on her
own, it's up to the race.
Like,
if she was comfortable running in her own
shit and not really worried,
it's up to the race.
It falls on them to stop.
It falls on them.
Because she was like,
I'm ready to do it.
It happened.
It's too late.
People already see it,
so I may as well just continue.
I feel like that's what she thought.
Yeah.
Like, the damage is done.
Just go.
And then I'll stop if they tell me.
Yeah.
It's a shitty situation.
It is a shitty situation.
Couldn't say it better myself.
We're not threatening her.
I was being facetious about you in the
chat.
I was just trying to make an example.
It was the tone of the high rock
statement.
It was very aggressive and it was,
are you able to pull it up?
I don't have the original statement.
Maybe Vicky can find it.
Is it on High Rocks' Instagram though?
I'm assuming it would be on their main
page or I don't remember where I saw
it, but.
As our sport continues to evolve,
we are encountering new and increasingly
complex situations that challenge us and
where additional clarity is needed.
This happened this weekend in China.
We ask our athletes to push themselves to
higher levels.
At times,
they will go beyond what even we thought
was possible.
That courage, resilience,
and refusal to give in are precisely what
makes elite athletes extraordinary.
Our role is to give them the rights,
blah, blah, blah.
A high rock says clear biocontaminant and
medical procedures in place.
In this instance,
an unforeseen situation arose in which
protocols designed for elite competition
and mass participation became blurred,
creating ambiguity.
We recognize this can understandably lead
to frustration, questions,
and strong blah, blah, blah.
Please continue to read the full statement
in the post.
So I think you have to hit the
arrow over a couple times.
And now I can't read it, but...
But there's an important line.
Frustration should never be directed
toward the athletes themselves.
They are the people who put themselves on
the line, compete at the highest level,
and make competition what it is.
There's no place in our community for
threats of violence or encouragement to
harm an athlete.
as this has happened this weekend we want
to be very clear and direct any person
identified as engaging in this behavior
whether thought through comments direct
messages or social media will be
permanently banned from all high rocks
events we are currently reviewing and
identifying those responsible and action
will be taken wow that's ridiculous well
if it is violence and threats
Okay.
Now that I've read the statement,
it's not as harsh as I initially thought.
Yeah, I mean, again,
it falls on high rocks to address the
situation there.
But sometimes, yeah, I mean,
this probably never happened before.
It's in a different country.
I mean, it should have been stopped.
Someone's getting pink eye.
i would too uh maybe that's why alexis
raptus taps out maybe she's thinking of
others i respect her for more for that
if that's if that's the reason uh i'm
i wonder what would have happened if this
had happened in the us or european race
in a european race yeah good question
would it have been a different
Would the organizers react differently
here in the West?
Not a little bit, excepted.
Yeah.
You know, they are sponsored by Puma.
Excellent.
That's good.
It read like, whose side are you on?
That's kind of what I got the first
time I read through it,
but I didn't get to that, like,
the level of, maybe they've updated it.
I don't know.
She needs to make sure shit happens and
sell them at Hyrox's.
It's probably against their sponsorship
agreement, and you can't do that.
I think the biggest problem with this and
that response from them is that sets an
awful precedent.
yeah no apologies from hyrox to all the
other athletes racing with her i did see
something in the statement at some point
about we it like it should have been
handled it should have been better i don't
know if it said directly we're sorry but
i don't know they should have pulled her
off is all i have to say
I mean, did they even say, like,
did they acknowledge their mistake even in
the statement?
I don't think that they ever said they're
sorry and what the, in the event, like,
what should have happened.
And I think that's what they're missing in
their statement.
Like, there should have been a,
we are very sorry that this has happened.
In the future,
an athlete that has an incident happened,
we will make sure to stop for the
safety of others, you know, et cetera.
Like, they should apologize and still say,
like,
what is the actual procedure going for?
Completely agree.
Because I don't think that there was
anything like that.
Like there was some ish accountability,
right?
That like,
this is an unforeseen circumstance,
but like,
there's not really addressing any
accountability.
No,
it makes it sound like if this happens
again, it's fine.
They don't care.
Athletes can shit themselves and continue
on, but don't spit.
Andrew Sten says she sure as shit knew
what happened.
So many...
Really puts a brown eye on the sport.
No place in the high rocks for getting
pooped on.
It really left a bad taste in the
competitors' mouths.
All right,
I'm skipping over some of these.
Holy cow, there's a lot.
So all this to say is that we
don't know what would happen in the next
one if it happens again.
We don't.
And Shanna says she's doing one in a
couple months or a month,
and that she'll be inspecting the carpet.
And she says she'll be inspecting the
carpets closely.
Smell it while you're down there, Shanna.
It'll blow over or all over.
All right.
Well, that's it for tonight.
We ended on poop gate.
We started with Rocky and debating which
was the best.
We ended with poop gate.
With that,
I hope everybody has a great rest of
your night.
I don't know what's going to happen next
Sunday night.
I think I'll be able to do the
show.
I will be in Montana.
I will not be able to do the
show.
I am going to Montreal this weekend for
a level one.
Ooh.
Are we moving ahead?
Sure, too.
Okay.
I'll be at CrossFit Wonderland.
Nice.
Nice.
