What's going on, everybody?
It's a Wednesday,
wild Wednesday with the cowboy.
And I think he just made a Star
Trek reference.
I love the chase and the hunt and
I set the pace when I'm running.
I always take what I want and I
always give it one hundred.
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
Play the game like it's nothing.
I'm always thankful for something.
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
Now wake up!
It's time to look at the enemy.
Look in the mirror if he is no
friend to me.
It's not working out,
maybe it's the chemistry.
It's time to...
It's lunchtime.
My Rodecaster is haunted.
I see that.
I have no idea what the hell it's
trying to do today.
That was bizarre.
Oh my goodness.
If you guys could only see what we're
going through before we go live.
Yeah,
there's a lot of weird shit happening.
uh yeah joseph our yabba dabba do turned
into a yabba dabba don't right before the
show but it looks like it's here look
who's in the chat today carolyn prevo
mister this week on the show hopefully
she'll be back whenever we do another show
it's going to be weird for the next
couple days weeks um
Best way to start a Saturday morning as
a kid.
I love the Flintstones.
Flintstones, Jetsons, Super Friends.
Captain Caveman.
Yeah.
I think I'll do a good Captain Caveman
impersonation.
I want to do it in this, Mike.
No, probably not.
Captain Caveman.
The whole Hanna-Barbera catalog was
fantastic at the time.
exit stage right uh rocky and bullwinkle
mornings yeah that's good stuff man and
now kids don't get it at all there's
no cartoons because they made a network so
everybody just shut her down which is wild
to me and then the seven podcast stole
their logo and uh made it across network
and here we are
So, yeah.
Basically brings us to today.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Carolyn was sick Sunday,
just so people – that's why she wasn't
with us.
Still feeling a bit off,
but better than Sunday night,
that's for sure.
I haven't been sick in years.
And it's qualifier season,
so if you're a games athlete and you're
trying to qualify for stuff,
this is not the time to be sick.
Not the time to be sick.
If I saw it right,
she's already qualified for –
NorCal, so she's gold.
And she got a master's invite to Del
Mar.
Shocking.
So she got some stuff there.
So I think she's in good position at
least.
Well-deserved.
Well-deserved, well-earned.
Speaking of making you sick,
I saw this on Instagram right before we
went on the air.
I had to get your take on this.
Oh, here we go.
As a movie buff and a food buff.
I am.
Would you eat the new Skippy limited
edition Terminator two silver peanut
butter?
No, no, I would not.
This,
you remember when they made purple
ketchup?
Same thing.
Yeah, no.
Yeah.
It's just,
there's no way I could spread that on
a bun and say, Hey, what,
what are they thinking?
Yeah.
I eat peanut butter just about every day
of my life.
That's something right here on my desk.
And there's no way on God's green earth.
That doesn't look like peanut butter.
That looks like.
It looks like the T-Dew thousand after he
fell into the vat of.
Yeah.
Meredith has got an excellent point.
What makes it silver?
Yeah.
It can't, it can't be organic.
No.
No.
I don't know if you've ever seen Peanuts,
but they're pretty much the same color as
they are whenever you make them into
peanut butter.
They have not changed at any point given
that.
There's no way.
Carolyn's a hard no.
Craig is a no way.
Vicky is a gross.
Jay Burch is a no.
And Vicky says it looks like alien vomit.
I want to know who thought it was
a good idea.
Who rewatched Terminator for the fifth
time and was like,
you know what we ought to do?
Whenever he's just like just straight
liquid metal, that looks delicious.
We should make that into peanut butter.
Here's my thing.
Terminator two came out in eighty eight.
Eighty seven.
No.
Ninety two.
I want to say.
OK.
Ninety two.
It has been thirty plus years since the
movie was on the screen.
And now you decide to make a commemorative
peanut butter.
Even better than that.
We've passed what Judgment Day was
supposed to be like that date.
We're already past it.
We must have killed John Connor and we're
all safe now.
So not only has it been thirty something
years since the movie came out,
according to movie, the movie itself,
we're already past Judgment Day.
So, like, what are we even doing?
It's dangerous product to promote for kids
because it looks like adhesives.
Skippy's legal team is crazy.
it took thirty plus years for it to
turn silver so that they just took a
batch of skippy left it sit out for
thirty some years turn silver now we're
going to sell it as Terminator two stay
away from it they're late maybe they went
back to the future flux capacitor fired up
yeah I just I had to share that
what the hell
So gross.
I could never see my...
And I love peanut butter.
There's no way.
Love peanut butter.
No way am I putting that in my
mouth.
Okay, so check this out.
In Terminator Two Judgment Day,
the date for the apocalypse was August
twenty-ninth, nineteen ninety-seven.
So not only... Have we cleared it?
We've cleared it for a long...
Nothing like some JB Weld on your Sammy.
Yeah.
It looks like either JB Weld or there's
a stuff called that you put on whenever
you're bolting stuff up in a,
like in a plant setting that keeps it
from season up.
It's called, it's called Never Seeds,
Annie Seeds.
And when you get a little bit on
you, it gets everywhere.
That was the first thought I had whenever
you pulled that up.
It's like, that's what that looks like.
And you don't want to eat it.
It's an industrial product.
not good whatsoever no i don't know who
thought that was a good idea but them
and the purple and green ketchup people
all need to be fired immediately if not
soon on another subject we talked about
the end of yesterday's show and that is
us the crazy old men screaming at the
clouds and people parking on the street
next is a comment
the youtube comments where a man is
talking about how in his neighborhood they
all have one stall garages single lane
driveways and he parks two cars in the
street okay i get it you maybe you
don't have the space and you can't
rearrange the cars every day
But in my neighborhood,
everybody has a two-car garage.
Everybody has a two-lane driveway.
And the street is not designed for street
parking.
So when you have two cars on the
street,
my Nissan Murano barely fits between the
two cars.
That's how tight it is.
So what I'm screaming about is my
predicament.
Same.
My wife drives a Tesla Model Three.
It is not the biggest thing on the
road.
And I drove it last night to go
bring Jameson to STEM night at school.
And on the way back,
some guys move in whatever is a big
moving truck in his driveway.
And there were five cars on one side
and four on the other.
And which makes just enough room for me
to pass that thing through there.
ridiculous and this week with fifteen
inches of snow we need a plow down
our street so we can get out oh
yeah and the plow doesn't fit so now
we're stuck just hoping the garbage truck
pats it down enough that we can actually
get into some ruts and get out
And yesterday I was able to get out.
I tested it because I have that surgery
tomorrow.
I needed to make sure I could get
out to the main road.
And once you get to the main road
here, it's all clear.
But like our neighborhood,
you just can't get anything down our
street.
And that's the frustration.
I see you.
Vicki says,
my neighbor across the street parks all
their cars on the road instead of the
driveway or garage.
Yeah, we have a guy in our neighborhood.
Now,
he's on the main drag where it's a
much wider street.
But across from him is like an open
field where the kids play.
And he parks all of his cars down
that open spot where the kids play.
Now, if it were me...
like the footballs and the baseballs and
are probably hitting those cars pretty
regularly.
So that's park there at your own risk.
And if you want to be, you know,
go for it, go for it.
I fully endorse that if it's not my
shit.
Yeah.
So I just wanted to clear up in
my neighborhood, in my neighborhood, uh,
The street is not wide enough for that.
And the driveways all are at least double.
A lot of people in my neighborhood,
have I even widened them?
Yeah.
Mine too.
Mine too.
I want to do that with ours,
but my wife keeps putting it off.
Yeah.
It's all mine.
It's not, it didn't make the top yet.
It's so, the way they poured it.
So my garage does not face the street.
Okay.
So like it's an L shape.
So you got to pull in and pull
that.
But instead of making the driveway as wide
as where the garage starts,
it comes up and then does this to
get like,
and I got little extra piece on the
other side.
Instead of just pouring it straight down,
So that's what most people have done is
just added on those two little strips on
either side.
And like Nala said,
you got a million times more parking.
And it looks cleaner because it doesn't,
it's not a pretty little angle going into
your garage.
Now you get this awkward place to cut
grass.
I don't want to start getting,
I'm just going to get overly upset about
my neighborhood because it's stupid.
All right.
Next thing up is boys interrupted are
everywhere.
You can't get away from them.
everywhere so we talked about jason
yesterday on cam haines boys interrupted
put out a live podcast i think it
was last night and talked about all of
their adventures um
through going to Alaska with the Air
National Guard,
went back and talked about what it was
like at the ranch,
what they did at the SAP Center.
It's a great listen.
And listen, the guys,
the fact that they do this gives us
a peek into their lives that we don't
ever really get with CrossFit athletes.
You know,
they show up on other podcasts and they
talk about brief things,
but to talk about what they go through
day to day is so insightful in what
they deal with on a given day or
a given week.
And they're spending a full week together
and they actually talk about how it's the
first time they've spent this much time in
close quarters and how they're kind of
dealing with that.
But the one thing I wanted to point
out from that is they talk about going
to CrossFit Northern Exposure in Alaska,
which I thought, great name.
Great name.
Great name.
if,
if you are not a fan of that
show back in the day, uh,
it was an awesome show,
but they call it CrossFit Northern
exposure.
So awesome.
Um,
and they talked about going in there and
working with the community,
talking to the community,
talking about their PRS,
giving them cues cause they all did grace.
I think grace or Isabel, um,
last night or whenever it was.
And, uh,
And they even talked to some kids and
got some kids involved.
And they really talked about how what's
cool,
what they saw there was the next
generation starting CrossFit.
Like we're finally getting to an age in
the CrossFit methodology where the people
who started at a young age are now
having kids who are starting it at a
young age.
And they were talking about how great the
movement quality was of these kids who are
kind of raised in a CrossFit family coming
in and doing this and how awesome it
is that they have this great movement
quality.
They lift with great movement.
It doesn't deteriorate over time.
And it was so exciting to see.
Um,
and so I thought that was a cool
moment.
And then they talked about wanting to be
more and more involved with the community
and they want to do more stuff like
this.
And in fact, Justin said him and Ellie,
every Sunday go to a CrossFit affiliate
now called CrossFit canvas,
and they go to be around the community
once a week.
Yeah.
That's the stuff we were talking about
yesterday.
but we need to say it outside the
bubble in addition to inside the bubble.
And I know the interviews don't always
lend themselves to be able to do that,
but that's the stuff we need them to
talk about outside of the CrossFit
ecosphere.
The people that they're interacting with
should also be putting it out there that
they're there.
Like how cool would it be?
Like, Oh shit,
Justin Majero's comes to my gym every,
every Sunday.
Like,
the first couple of weeks it's probably
stunning at worst right like holy this
dude is actually here after a while the
new wears off of it and it's like
yeah it's justin he's right there he's
just come jump in class or open gym
or doing doing whatever but put that out
there like hey man these guys are still
guys like they still want to do stuff
they still are regular people they come
out and they talk and they hang out
and whatnot and the more of that kind
of stuff that gets out there that
lets people understand that yes they are
games athletes they are champions they are
past champions whatever you want to call
them they're also still people just like
you who are fighting through stuff just
like you and that and especially getting
that out there to the non-cross-fitting
public
might be on the fence you know and
look at stuff and they see ah man
i got a friend of mine i've been
knowing for thirty something years put a
thing out uh on facebook the other day
and said i can't i was looking for
a group class type deal right she's like
yeah pilates or yoga or something i was
like come to crossfit i said we'll get
you back strong we'll get like she lost
seven something pounds this year and she's
looking to something do something to
maintain that
And I was like, come to CrossFit.
Well, I've seen the videos,
the stuff you do.
I said,
I didn't start out doing that stuff.
I didn't get there on the first day
snatching two Oh five and doing ring
muscle-ups.
Like that's yeah.
I post a lot of that kind of
stuff now,
but it took a really long time for
me to get there.
Some people never do.
And that's okay.
And to understand that when you meet these
guys, high-end CrossFit athletes,
games are
athletes, game winners, whatever the case,
they didn't start out doing all that
stuff.
They had to learn just like anybody else
to be able to get to where they
are.
Yeah.
That's a message that needs to be out
there more.
I think that's the hardest message to get
out there, right?
Is that none of us started out that
way, right?
We had to work our way into it.
And nothing gets you prepared for it.
You just have to do it.
Um,
the video CrossFit put out with that in,
with the Instagram teacher was great.
I'm sure you've talked about it already,
but just saying.
Oh, um,
she is a teacher she posts basically from
her car whenever she leaves out of class
i forget what her her handle is but
she's fantastic she's hilarious and she
just basically talks about what just
happened and she's like super dry humor
type stuff and then finally instagram
collaborated with her on one of her videos
she was she's she's great she really
really is she's hilarious
i've seen it i didn't i didn't click
on it i think i was in a
meeting or something and just trying to
catch a little whatever she's come across
i have seen it i'll have to i'll
go click on it yeah um she's been
she's been across my feed um i guess
since she started or not not since not
long after she started um and she's she's
great she's funny as
Amanda, it's that saying,
the heaviest weight in the gym is the
front door.
That's it.
Yeah.
That is it.
Show up.
That's all you have to do.
That is really, really it.
We tell people that we got a dude,
one of my real good friends in the
neighborhood, Quentin.
I told him that this morning,
we did Kelly this morning.
Just coached him through it and whatnot.
He cut ten minutes off his time from
the first time he did it.
Scaled it.
um obviously it's the first time still
scale of the day but cut ten minutes
off went from thirty eight minutes to
twenty eight minutes right use the
appropriate wall ball the only thing he
scaled this morning was instead of doing
thirty wall balls and thirty box jumps he
did twenty and twenty right cut ten
minutes had the correct weight wall ball
you know the twenty or whatever and i
told him this morning i said i remember
when you first got here dude and like
like the third day he was laying on
the floor
trying to catch his breath,
and I was like, you all right?
He said, man, y'all crazy.
I said, you in here with us.
I don't know if you know that or
not, but, like,
you can't say y'all crazy and then not
include yourself because you're in here
with us.
So I reminded him of that this morning,
and now his wife,
they're doing –
Weight watchers together trying to just
she wants to try to get healthy and
whatnot.
Now we finally got his wife kind of
half ass on board and she wants he's
interested in seeing if she can start
coming to class.
So it's just showing up.
Like I've been telling him that for years.
Just show up.
So you have to do.
We will make you better at whatever it
is you're trying to do.
Yeah.
I'm going to break what we're talking
about because I have to tell you
something.
Yes.
So the other day I was listening to
a podcast with
Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson do a
podcast called Where Everybody Knows Your
Name.
And they have guests on and they talk
to them.
Well, they had Matthew McConaughey on.
You and him have the exact same pace
of talk.
The exact same.
Every story he tells,
he has to tell the name of that
person involved in the story,
just like you do.
And then it goes on the same pace
as McConaughey.
And I was like,
I'm listening to this and I'm going,
oh my God,
it's like hanging out with Corey.
I mean, we're both good Southern boys,
man.
Kanye's from Texas.
Ain't mad at him.
I mean, it's not a slam.
It's all right, all right, all right.
Absolutely.
Yes, Ortega.
God, it draws me bananas too, dude.
I need to get fit before I try
CrossFit, so give me like a month.
Hate this statement.
Yeah, I said it.
I said that statement.
I went to the Y before I did
CrossFit.
I mean,
I was doing some stuff in my garage
with my next-door neighbor,
but really I was doing most of my
stuff at the Y.
Nothing prepared me for that first day in
the gym.
Nothing.
Like you start warming up and you're like,
what the hell is this?
But then when you're done, you're like,
I did it all.
Like I did it all.
Right.
It's a feeling of accomplishment to
looking at it, walking in,
seeing what's on the board,
especially if we got something like today,
man, if I'm coaching the class, I'm like,
look,
I know this looks like a lot of
work and it is, but I guarantee you,
you're going to be okay.
You're going to be fine.
We're going to get through it.
Not a big deal.
Yeah.
Vicki.
Exactly.
McConaughey and Corey are both
storytellers.
I try to be.
David Reed, Ortega,
that is exactly how I feel.
Doug,
you're too far off in it to feel
like that at this point, dude.
Yeah.
You're certified.
So, yeah, it's a great video.
The Boys Interrupted, really fun.
They say there's a ton of content coming
out from this week.
I think they're doing stuff.
I think CrossFit Media is traveling with
them through this whole trip.
And so they're putting stuff out.
CrossFit's putting stuff out.
So it's going to be leaking.
We're going to be sick of them in
two weeks.
But they're doing something for the
method,
for the whole ecosystem of CrossFit,
not just for the game season.
They also said if we get eight hundred
thousand follow up for signups for the
open,
the prize purse at the games will be
a million for the winner.
Now we've never come close to eight
hundred thousand.
I mean, kudos to him,
but I don't see that happening.
But all right.
Ortega said, I went in different.
I said, I can do that.
Turns out that was a lie, too.
Well, you did it.
You did it.
Did you do it like elegantly or did
you do it gracefully?
Maybe not.
It's that feeling dude,
where like you lay on the ground,
you're trying to catch your breath and
trying to figure out exactly what the hell
just happened.
Right.
And you're like, but I don't want more.
I don't know what that was,
but holy shit.
I want to do it again.
Yeah.
Uh, Denise says my aunt from Covington,
Louisiana,
she would start every story she told with
now, honey,
let me tell you a story done with
the new Orleans accent.
uh carolyn's like yeah and second place
would be like a hundred k the difference
between first and second is so massive and
not lying either no she's not she's not
wrong whatsoever uh bruh i did fran as
my first workout took me eight minutes and
i vomited dude my first workout was murph
yeah and it didn't take me eight minutes
took me a lot longer
And I wanted to die.
I really wanted to die.
But there was something that just,
that inner athlete kicked in and I just
kept pushing and kept pushing and kept
pushing.
And then I was done.
And it was really scaled.
I've said,
I've told the story a million times on
here.
Super scaled.
But in that moment,
it clicked something on that I didn't have
for thirty years before that day.
And I guarantee you it didn't feel scaled
while you were doing it.
Does that make sense?
You didn't think you were doing, quote,
less work than anybody else because,
holy smokes,
you get your ass handed to you.
Vicky said,
I will say that the boys in Colton
are the only individual athletes that
really understand their games check is
dependent on people signing up.
I hope not.
I hope not.
I don't think.
I think Lucy Campbell.
I think Lucy Campbell gets it.
I think Tia gets it.
But they're definitely vocal about it.
They're more vocal about it.
I don't think the other one gets it.
Who's that?
Carolyn.
Carolyn gets it.
I don't think that the other ones are
ignorant of it.
I just think that they are either focused
on other things or have the opinion that
it's not their,
it's not their job to do like other
people should do it for them.
Right.
Having that kind of,
I won't say elitist attitude, but like,
I have other things to do.
I can't be promoting the open when all
it takes is to make a fricking five
minute video, you know,
five minutes to make a video and post
it online or let CrossFit do it for
you because they have been.
Yeah.
How hard is that?
And then reshare it.
Yeah.
And I know, I know, Vicki,
I'm not trying to be picky about it,
but anytime you talk in like absolutes
like that,
we've got to be careful because I think
it's more than that.
And maybe the people that do know don't
have the following that the people that
are, you know,
so we don't see it as much, right?
So,
and they probably understand it more
because they're the ones like dying for
the prize money.
I think what John said right there is
what the point Vicky's trying to get
across.
They seem to be the only ones that
are doing something about it.
They're the ones that have the opportunity
right now.
And we've talked about that too, right?
Like it's now easy for Dave and the
team at CrossFit to reach out to these
four individuals because they put
themselves out there.
It doesn't mean that others wouldn't do
the same thing if given that opportunity.
Right.
And it's convenient.
Most of them are on the West Coast.
It doesn't cost as much to bring them
in.
But I'm betting other people would do the
same thing.
The thing is,
is that and I think what Vicky and
John is getting across is that perception
is reality.
So that's all you see.
Right.
Well,
these guys are the only ones that give
a shit about it.
You know, the girls, as you mentioned,
you know, we're doing it, Lucy,
especially like Lucy's saying stuff by
like, please sign up.
I want to win money.
Like,
not only do I want to be fittest,
but please sign up because I want to,
you know,
she just bought a house and everything
they've asked you to do.
She's jumped in feet for amazing dude.
She is a solid human being doing apparel
commercials for CrossFit.
She's going to be at the open.
She like all of that stuff.
Right.
Um,
So it's just, and here's Carolyn, right?
They have videographers,
CrossFit Games people behind them,
also people doing sometimes their social
media.
Lots of those athletes have more help for
their content.
Right,
so the people with less following may
understand it just as much,
but they don't have the opportunity to do
the things that these guys have had the
opportunity to do.
And I'm not criticizing them at all.
Like, keep doing your thing.
Keep doing your thing.
It's awesome.
But I,
and I said this a couple of weeks
ago,
I want CrossFit to reach out to other
athletes because I think there are others
out there and that's our opportunity to
get to know more.
The more athletes we know,
the more people will watch.
Put out an all call like from CrossFit.
Hey, if you want to get your,
I don't want to say get your story
out there,
but if you want to help us promote
the open that you know is going to
lead to success,
a higher prize purse at the games that
you are trying to get to,
we will help you.
It doesn't have to be a lot.
Like they can get people just to look,
send me some video that you have because
everybody videos himself.
Maybe not Carolyn.
I appreciate when CrossFit Games made a
video for the open for the athletes of
last year,
it was so easy for me to share.
How many athletes shared that?
So many.
So many.
Ortega says,
sounds like Ariel Lohan may be in the
open.
Ariel shared that video as well.
I know it was said on Dense Updates
that she had not yet.
It was like a day or two later
she shared hers.
Sweet.
John George, putting the wet blanket on,
I'm not taking that bet.
Dude, I think you're...
I've met so many of these athletes.
They all want what's best for CrossFit.
All we know are the top ten.
And yeah,
there's probably some in the top ten that
don't want to be bothered to do that.
That's only because Brian Friend knows the
top hundred.
Not going there again.
How many posted the open video HQ made?
I would bet probably seventy percent.
I saw it a lot from various people.
Yeah, I mean,
I saw a ton of them.
Jenny posted almost all of them on her
stories.
So you could see who posted and who
didn't.
If I run across it,
I repost whoever it was.
I mean,
the more people that share that kind of
stuff, the more eyeballs it gets to,
the more it gets into other people's feeds
who may be interested even about fitness
in general and they can see that kind
of stuff.
It snowballs.
The more people do it,
the more people share it,
the better it is for everybody from elite
athletes on down to regular athletes down
to affiliate owners, everybody.
Jenny kept the list because of course she
did.
I was about to say,
of course she did.
How close was my seventy percent, Jenny?
Just out of curiosity.
That is what I'm terrible at.
I am terrible at organization.
Like I have ideas and I have things
I want to talk about,
but I am not good at like collecting
all the like Jenny.
The fact that she can go back like
ten years and pull a clip from something
that.
i am not good at that just not
good at it um and that's why it's
great to have people like her in the
space that do that for me and i
can just say hey jenny said this they
call it a tmz dude but like a
lot of the stuff that she has is
just like i said it's clips it's facts
it's not rumor she might repeat some of
the stuff that she's heard which people
would be doing anyway but she's got a
platform to do it so
But most of the stuff she posts is
just regular little clips.
You could find just about anywhere else.
Uh, he sent another reel of us.
I'd post it too.
Hell yeah.
Yeah.
As you should, Carolyn, they should,
let me tell you something.
They should be promoting the ever living
shit out of Carolyn Prevost.
Ask me why you already know why tell
me who qualify for two separate games in
one year.
Name another person besides her.
Masters Games.
Pick another person.
It's happened before,
but she's the only one from Brazil.
In recent memory?
Yeah.
Who else before?
The one that's from Brazil.
The one that's from Brazil that's clearly
on steroids?
Yes.
The one we're talking about?
Real life John, yes.
Andre Pinheiro in twenty-four made both.
Out of the South American region.
The juicy, juicy.
The juicy, juicy one.
Yeah.
In that case, I stand corrected.
Briggs did it in separate years.
She never,
she never made it in the same year.
No,
Sam did it in separate years and it
wasn't back to back.
I don't, I don't believe,
I think the last year Sam made it,
it took her two years before,
I think she took a year off and
then came back and made the masters games.
Jenny said,
fifteen of the sixty did not post it,
and that is as of last Friday.
Yeah.
If anybody posted after Friday,
that's not in that count.
That's seventy-five percent.
Yep.
Seventy-five percent of the athletes
posted, reposted,
and I think collaborated with the CrossFit
Games on that.
As they should.
Why wouldn't you?
But that's a pretty good number.
Yeah.
um but they also sent it to athletes
who didn't make the games well they did
they sent it to dave castro too
technically his open announcements like
the the reel of the open announcements at
the beginning who technically made the
games because he made the game he made
he made the games uh see that dad
jokes all day long right there baby
To be fair,
previous Masters athletes like Sam until a
few years ago couldn't do both.
Sam, I'm going to need you to stop.
Excuse me.
Carolyn,
I'm going to need you to stop being
humble right now.
End of story.
Moving right along.
So, anyway,
I think that those are good numbers.
And I think that CrossFit is trying.
They're putting out some good content now
about signing up for the Open.
I wish it would have been a week
or two earlier.
That was my only hope.
But since they've kicked it off,
they've done well.
Numbers are higher than they've been in
the past.
Hopefully,
we can keep that ball rolling and get
some signups in there.
Speaking of,
if your YouTube name is at philb-crossfit,
Z six D you have your open registration
paid for by Clydesdale media media and an
anonymous source that helped me out with
that.
I want to take all the credit.
The person asked for not the person asked
not to be named,
but they helped me out and said,
here's a couple to give away.
And I thank that person immensely,
but I'm,
but they asked not to be named.
He shall not be named.
So, uh,
if you are at Phil B dash Z
six, six D, uh, DM me on Instagram,
find a way to get out to me,
comment on YouTube, whatever as a way.
So I can send you the code so
you can sign up for the open.
Also fix your email address because that
is really hard to say.
Apparently YouTube username.
Yeah,
which is now at your Gmail or email.
Yeah, it's at B-Limitless Vicky.
It doesn't just say Vicky anymore.
You create your own username on YouTube.
It's not your email, but... Valdimort.
Yeah, Valdimort.
That's what we look for.
Valdimort gave me the code to give away.
Vicky,
I screamed my ass off for Carolyn in
twenty twenty five.
That should have been a bigger storyline.
Amen, sister.
One percent.
hundred percent amen sister it's hard
enough to make one much less both yeah
and do them both in the same month
yeah yeah anyway and almost win one of
them correct take second get a medal do
all the stuff
absolute insanity yeah basically we're
just saying that carolyn is an animal
which we already know but moving right
along so the last thing i have on
my thing is the story of the day
and that is how in the bloody hell
does bill belichick get not get voted in
on a first ballot hall of fame
The guy won six Super Bowls as a
head coach,
two as a defensive coordinator.
He went to sixteen championship games.
And he's second all-time in wins in the
NFL.
And he doesn't get in on a first
ballot Hall of Fame vote.
There was a picture I saw and it
was him with all of his rings on.
All the Super Bowl rings.
right he's got enough to get on both
feet yeah and somebody was like if this
is this is all you need to know
this is all you need to know right
here like forget the rest of it just
that alone that you would think that would
be enough and they were like oh we're
gonna skip him this year so carolyn says
people looking at his off nfl off-field
things uh jay birch girlfriend controversy
perhaps listen
The NFL,
the football hall of fame does not have
a morality clause.
No.
OJ Simpson is in the NFL,
the pro football hall of fame.
I don't need to say anything more.
One of the main pages I follow,
the dude was standing and it was at
the,
the hall of fame standing in front of
this, the bust of OJ Simpson.
It was like, it said, Oh,
I can't believe Bill Kelly.
Jack's not in here.
He's standing in front of the, it's like,
bro,
If nothing Bill Belichick has done off the
field is what OJ allegedly did.
Not even close.
Right.
Not in the same ballpark.
It is a travesty.
It is a joke.
It makes the Pro Football Hall of Fame
a sham.
There are no coaches that Kenneth DeLapp,
O.J.,
was not deemed innocent in all courts.
Criminal court, yes.
Civil court, no.
Just saying.
Correct.
He is the greatest NFL coach ever.
Unless you're going back to like, like,
in George Hallis, who started the league.
Which is not the same thing.
The fact that he's not in is...
So my question to you is,
if CrossFit had a Hall of Fame,
who would be as big a snub as
Bill Belichick?
Matt Fraser.
And Rich from, or Tia.
I mean, you can even say,
you can definitely say Tia.
Well, my thought was,
was Matt because Belichick was known to
not be friendly with the media.
Right.
Matt was not necessarily friendly to the
media all the time.
Matt has five championships,
two second placers.
He, every,
every chance he went to the games,
it was either second or first.
So I was thinking like the parallels are
kind of the Matt Frazier, Bill Belichick.
Yeah, I would say so.
Yeah,
that makes a lot more sense if you
say it like that.
Yeah, Matt.
Where Tia was never grumpy with the media
or anything like that.
Rich was definitely not grumpy with the
media.
The only person Tia's ever been grumpy
with was herself.
And then after she got over that,
she won seven in a row.
So there's that.
That's wild, dude.
That's wild.
Let's look.
Bill Belichick not getting in,
not a first ballot,
which is absolute insanity.
And Shador Sanders getting selected for
the Pro Bowl with more interceptions than
touchdown.
That's an actual stat.
Yeah, true.
holy you're saying they're speaking it to
the pro bowl is a joke and a
travesty but the pro bowl has been a
joke forever anyway i don't understand
anymore i get that but like this this
pretty much like encases it in concrete
and throws it off in the river yeah
sudor sanders is like phil toon getting
into the crossfit pro bowl
Oh, Phil.
I'm not familiar with the NFL Hall of
Fame things,
but do they have coaches in there at
the moment that were first ballot?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I am sure Ditka, more than likely.
Well, Ditka made it in as a player,
and I don't think they re-vote you in
because you became a coach.
Madden.
Madden did not get in on first ballot,
but it was Chuck Knoll, Don Shula.
Don Shula.
They got in on first ballot.
Jerry Jones.
Yeah.
Tom Landry.
Jerry Jones.
Excuse me.
Jimmy Johnson.
Yeah, Jimmy Johnson.
That's what I meant.
Jimmy Johnson did not get in first ballot,
but he had a very short NFL career.
A couple years with the Cowboys,
a couple years with the Dolphins,
and then he retired.
And so his was more like he didn't
have the longevity.
Yeah.
Don Shula was the winningest coach in NFL
history.
He got in first ballot.
Tom Landry got in first ballot.
Chuck Knoll got in first ballot.
Tom Landry's hat probably got in first
ballot as well.
True.
I do believe Jerry Jones is in the
Hall of Fame.
It wouldn't surprise me.
And he should be.
I mean, he's a joke.
Now he's a joke as an,
as an owner,
but he's brilliant as a businessman.
And he brought so much new revenue to
the NFL with thinking outside the box that
he should be in the, and he,
he's the one that negotiated the big
television contracts.
He's a, he, as a GM,
he's absolutely terrible.
But as an owner and the stuff that
he did for the league,
like you just said, it's ridiculous.
Yeah.
Carolyn, okay, that's just ridiculous.
And the only way I could see him
not being first is if that's reserved for
players only.
It is not.
It's not.
It's not.
I read that too.
Yeah, Linda CF,
I read they wanted to punish him for
Spygate and Deflategate.
Here's my thing.
Jimmy Johnson exposed it all today.
If you're not an NFL geek like I
am,
Jimmy Johnson said they all did Spygate.
They learned it from the Indianapolis
Colts, who taught them how to do it,
and other teams tried it.
And Jimmy said,
we just weren't getting any good results.
information from it so we just stopped and
bill got caught the rest of us did
it he's just the only one that got
caught and deflate gate i think the
patriots won that game forty eight to
nothing andrew luck the quarterback of the
opposing team said it wasn't because
deflated balls that we got beat that day
that's because they didn't play any
defense
He left the defense on the bus.
The NFL punished him for those two
specific things while he was still active.
Why does he need to be punished again?
Once you do your time,
you don't need to do it again.
Yeah, yeah.
Double jeopardy at that point.
The whole thing's ridiculous.
Same thing about...
The Saints and Bounty Gate.
Oh, they put money on people's heads.
Yeah,
you don't think every team in the league
doesn't do that?
That used to be common practice.
Common practice.
They got exposed for whatever reason,
and they got punished for it.
Period.
It's ridiculous, dude.
I'm sure there's gates for many teams,
but not caught Canada women's soccer at
the Olympics got penalized for being
caught spying when other teams are also
doing it.
Yeah.
Everybody tries to cheat.
My football coach in high school told me,
listen, when it comes down to it,
everything's legal till you get caught.
Absolutely.
So when you're trying to block that guy
across from you,
you use every tactic you can until they
call a flag.
When I was coaching my oldest in soccer
and whatnot,
I would tell the defenders all the time,
if they don't see you grabbing that girl's
shirt, then grab it if you have to.
Stop her.
Stop her.
Follow her.
Do what you got to do.
As soon as you get caught doing it,
then don't do it anymore.
But up until that point,
if you can roll with it,
roll with it.
The good players,
you don't have to tell them stuff like
that.
They just do it because they know I'm
going to push this as far as I
possibly can.
And then when I can't push it anymore,
when they, when they penalize me for it,
then we'll go ahead and pull back.
Okay.
That's where the line's at.
Yeah.
And it's just like everything in CrossFit,
right?
If it's a judged live judge sport and
you know that you can reduce your range
of motion and still get a good rep
for it.
Yeah.
Most athletes, not all, not all,
but most athletes are going to do what
it takes to win the race.
What's worse bill or Pete rose,
Pete rose by a landslide.
It's not even close.
Pete rose fixed games.
Yeah.
No, Belichick never tried to lose.
Ever.
And again,
deflated balls were not what helped him
win that game.
And truly, that's all Tom Brady.
Tom Brady's the one that tests the balls
and approves which ones to use for the
game or not.
Not Bill Belichick.
And are they going to make Tom Brady
sit out a year?
When he comes up, no,
you know damn well he's getting in first
ballot.
Correct.
And he was part of all of the
same gates.
No, they can't.
Matter of fact,
they cannot wait to put Tom Brady in
the Hall of Fame.
They are sitting there.
There's probably a counter somewhere with
the numbers just rolling off every second
before they can put...
The culture's probably got the bus half
done.
A hundred percent.
A hundred percent.
Comes in every day,
polishes a little bit more,
gets a little bit more.
Make sure we got his chin just right.
Andrew Spence, Cincinnati native,
where Pete Rose played most of his
baseball,
bet on teams to win never-fix games.
So he said.
Correct.
He also said he never bet on baseball
for about ten years before he changed that
story.
Vehemently denied he bet on baseball,
much less his own games.
They both got hosed, in my opinion.
I agree.
For Pete Rose's playing career,
he should have got in the Hall of
Fame.
Should have never got in as a coach,
but they,
and I agree with a lot of people
that said, but by his bust,
it should have said Pete Rose got busted
for gambling on baseball and is serving a
lifetime suspension.
And then the whole story is there.
Yeah.
Great player.
Most hits in major league baseball
history,
but he did this thing that got him
suspended.
Easy day.
Worse than the liver king?
Who did the liver king hurt?
Well,
I guess people that bought his
supplements.
I don't think what Bill did was that
big of a deal.
In my opinion.
I don't give two shits about.
Again, he got caught.
They were trying to get a competitive
advantage.
They got caught.
They got penalized for it.
And they moved on.
It never came back up.
The Flaygate was fucking hilarious,
in my opinion.
It really, really was.
A lot of balls.
Three or four pounds sawed every single
one.
Okay, both teams played with them.
Here's the truth that Andrew has that
matters.
The thing with Rose is Major League
Baseball doesn't run the Baseball Hall of
Fame.
The writers do,
and the baseball writers hold grudges
until they die.
That is what's happening with the Pro
Football Hall of Fame.
The fifty writers that are voting on this
have grudges against Belichick because he
was mean to them in the press conferences.
And he never gave them what he wanted.
They wanted just short answers,
blowing them off.
And he did that for thirty years.
And they're all pissed about it.
So they're making him sit out a year.
His press conferences are right up there
with the current Boston Celtics head
coach's press conferences after the game.
gives no information he just says like
whatever does he like the shortest
possible answer human like humanly
possible and then just kind of and then
just stares at him yep like waiting for
the next one the best example is they
would ask him hey what happened in the
game when brady threw to blah blah blah
and he would say we're on to cincinnati
not talking about the game that just
happened we're already on to cincinnati
We're not going to answer questions about
what just happened out there on the field.
That should happen.
Yeah.
And then he would say,
just take your face talk and your, your,
your Insta person and,
and post your stuff.
And he would do it wearing a cut-off
sweater that looked like it hadn't been
moth-eaten and hadn't been washed in
frigging two weeks.
Like,
as unpolished and just doesn't give a
shit.
And it got worse the more Super Bowls
that they won.
Like, he just didn't care.
And I don't blame him,
to be honest with you.
I wouldn't want to talk to any people
neither.
Like, bro, I got stuff to do.
Yeah, they would piss me off every week.
I would just start yelling.
Well,
the last thing I want to leave you
with is tomorrow's my surgery.
It is scheduled for tomorrow.
I have put up a video that will
launch at twelve fifteen tomorrow.
So at least the time will be active.
And it is a it is a lost
interview that I never made public.
And it is with Kelly Baker at the
twenty twenty three CrossFit Games.
It is on the Sunday of the CrossFit
Games.
It is after she got cut,
then put back into the games,
and then almost got cut and put back
in a second time.
A second time.
She got a burger and a beer.
She found out she wasn't getting to go
back out.
And so it's, it's a nice little video.
I've done some minor, minor editing,
but it's really raw.
Um,
and I'm going to try to do the
same for Friday show to find an old
video or an old interview that I haven't
published and put it up for, uh,
your view on Friday,
just to keep the channel active for lunch
over the next couple of days.
Does she mention the burger and the beer?
She does.
We talk about the burgers and beer.
It was so, that was so awesome.
And so thank you everybody for the good
luck and the prayers.
I appreciate every bit of it.
Again,
it's just a clean out my sinuses and
fix my septum.
I'll be able to breathe through my nose
again.
And then once I recover from that,
then we reschedule the biopsy on my lungs
and go from there.
But at least this way we'll keep something
rolling during lunchtime.
Hopefully you enjoy it.
It's a pretty good interview.
And then I'll look tonight for another one
for Friday and post that one up too.
So hit the notifier so you know when
the Kelly one goes live.
It's out there already.
And with that, guys, thank you so much.
We'll be back sometime in the near future.
because my nose will be packed until
Monday morning.
So I don't get it unpacked with the
gauze and the stuff until Monday morning.
So Sunday night is in jeopardy.
We may move it.
I'll have to talk to Carolyn and Jamie
and get that figured out.
But with that, guys, have a great day.
Have a great weekend.
Enjoy all the stuff we put up this
week,
and we'll see everybody next time on
Lunch.
