We cover the sport of CrossFit from all angles. We talk with athletes, coaches and celebrities that compete and surround in the sport of CrossFit at all levels. We also bring you Breaking News, Human Interest Stories and report on the Methodology of CrossFit. We also use the methodology to make ourselves the fittest we can be.

The excitement for this year's games keeps

growing and growing and growing.

From the gym to the screen, yeah,

we cover it all.

Midday motivation every time you press

ball.

Lunch with the Clydesdale.

Cowboy bring the heat.

Crossfit, boobies, music on repeat.

Half hour hustle, yeah,

we building that brand.

Grab a plate, tune in now,

you part of the fam.

It's lunch time!

What's going on, everybody?

I haven't re-recorded that, you know.

I'm aware.

I'm aware.

I mean, live is different.

Live is better, some would say.

Some people like it recorded.

Most people like it live.

It's either live.

Is it live or is it Memorex?

Let me ask you this.

If you go see Eric Clapton in concert,

do you want to hear a recorded album

or do you want to hear him sing?

No, of course not.

See, I'm just here for the people.

As you are, as you do,

as you do.

We'll do it live.

It is time to get jazzy.

So with that,

have I told you that I hate my

job?

You may have mentioned it at some point.

Yeah.

Do they make you read?

It is a four day work week.

It is a four day.

It already feels like six.

Did they make you read a book?

Uh, no, not yet.

Cause if they make me read a book,

man, it may, we may come to blows.

That's the last straw.

Um,

No,

we got in today and our boss is

meeting with the director and they needed

all this data that none of us have

ever used this system before.

And we all had to go in and

dive.

And so we all had to download different

spreadsheets for this meeting,

send them to our boss.

I know damn well every one of us

in a different format of that spreadsheet.

It'd be like getting out four different

puzzle boxes,

grabbing a few from each one,

and make a pretty picture.

Let's see what we can make with these.

Yeah.

And then after this today at one o'clock,

I have a one o'clock, a one thirty,

all the same people in both meetings.

Why we couldn't just have one longer

meeting.

And then at two o'clock...

And none of it freaking matters, man.

None of it.

I'm going to need you to stop making

sense, Scott.

It scares people.

Yeah.

So with that,

I need my CrossFit stuff to like –

and my entertainment stuff to like get me

out of this.

Well,

we can start with the CrossFit stuff

because – Well,

I want to start with one other thing.

All right.

What you told me after the show yesterday

has sent laughs throughout my friends and

And my family.

Okay.

So, and if the people,

for the people who don't know,

after the show, Corey and I were chatting,

you know, when you go to Chipotle,

they upcharge you if you want some

Avocado.

The Avocado.

Avocado is extra.

Avocado.

Avocado.

They get some of that, man, turkey, Swiss,

and throw some of that Avocado on there.

Oh my gosh.

The fact that people say that in that,

and like you told me yesterday,

you can never say it differently now.

I can't hear it.

I can't unhear it.

Once you hear something like that,

you're just like, yeah, it's a cockadoo.

Why wouldn't it be?

Yeah.

And then I told you that back in

the eighties, I was watching, um,

love connection.

Yeah.

And a woman was complaining about the man

she was on the date with, uh,

saying he had no class.

He goes, I had class.

I brought aste spumate to the picnic.

And now I cannot call it aste spumante.

It is aste spumate for the rest of

my life.

Martini and Rossi, aste spumate.

We've changed the theme song.

Yeah.

Look.

Kind of like jalapenos.

Jalapenos, baby.

Don't miss some of them jalapenos on

there.

Don't act like you're going from the house

either.

I know that came from work.

A-A-Ron.

Andrew, I'm going to tell you right now,

I don't know any more Aarons.

Every Aaron I know we call A-A-Ron.

It is A-A-Ron.

When I write Aaron's name on the board

at the gym,

one of my best friends and another coach

of ours, I don't write Aaron.

I write A-A-Ron every time without fail.

Worcestershire Worcestershire

Worcestershire Worcestershire sauce I like

that one Meg yeah there's a guy Meg

there's a guy that I follow on YouTube

who is a cook and he he's either

I think he's definitely southern

He may be Louisiana, I'm not sure.

But he made his own line of like

hot sauces.

He made his own Worcestershire sauce,

but he calls it Worcestershire sister.

Worcestershire sauce.

I love it.

Welcome to the Clydesdale and Cowboys.

Clydesdale.

Dolly.

Jay Quellen.

Everybody knows Jay Quellen.

Everybody knows Jay Quellen.

Oh.

Meg,

if you say that in front of me,

you're getting cold food.

She's going to say it in front of

you.

Yeah.

I just don't know if you ever met

Megan,

but she's going to say it in front

of you, bro.

Cream brulee,

I've heard pronounced creamy brulee.

Let me get some of that creamy brulee.

tiramisu like i like tiramisu it's my

favorite italian dessert uh meg doesn't

mind cold food she likes she likes the

cold hard stare down she's better than she

likes warm food she is a vet she's

a veteran we have eaten many many much

cold food over time trust me she knows

all about cold food it's not that big

a deal

So six minutes in,

and on a side tangent,

this is how the show is going to

go.

Listen, Ed, we have a daily show.

We talk about whatever is on our mind

for two reasons.

One, it breaks the monotony.

Two,

what if something happened to CrossFit and

we had to go away?

I don't want to go away.

I want to be here.

And so we'll just make it a show

about mispronouncing everything.

I don't know, but we're going to,

we're going to have some other things in

the, in the hopper, in the hopper,

you say.

I'm going to ask you why we want

that subject real quick.

It's like,

this is just how my brain works.

It is.

This is just how my brain works.

And you like squirrel.

Oh shit.

A squirrel.

Yeah.

And I,

we just go off on a tangent for

two hours.

It's really not that big a deal.

Uh, Vicki, best part of the show.

Uh, Mark Phillips, wait,

there are pre-planned topics.

Yeah, exactly.

Uh,

there are a couple of chicken scratches

just in case we need something to dive

into.

Uh, man, if CrossFit vanished,

I would disappear from the internet so

fast.

Tristan, you can come hang with us.

Tristan would be that, uh, that,

that gif of Homer,

like stepping back into the bushes.

just slowly fading out of sight.

Technically, Peanut Roaster, but yes,

Hopper.

Yeah.

Another athlete at LATAM dislocated their

shoulder.

No one available at medical to help.

The athlete had to pop it back in

themselves.

Hello, Mel Gibson, Lethal Weapon, too.

Medical is a joke at semifinals.

That is...

That is appalling.

At a minimum,

that is the staff that needs to be

filled first at a CrossFit event.

I am so blessed, lucky, whatever.

I have never needed medical at any

competition I've ever been to.

I probably shouldn't say that out loud

because I'm going to Monster Games next

month,

but I cannot fathom

throwing my shoulder out of place and then

nobody there to help me to do something.

Cause I don't never throw my shoulder out

of place.

I would not want to know what to

do aside from my random movie knowledge

that I'm sure is real medically accurate

about getting it back into place.

I need to just whack it against the

wall.

Like Mel Gibson.

I need a file cabinet.

That's pretty heavy and pretty full that I

can slam this against.

You got one handy.

Is that cool?

I played football with a guy who

dislocated his shoulder all the time.

And because of that,

like he did kind of know how to

pop it back in,

but it's because he had been through that

over and over and over again.

If it's a new thing,

there's no way you'd know.

Again, aside from my, my, my, my, my,

my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my,

my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my,

my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my,

my, my, my,

I've popped my shoulder back in a couple

times.

A pull-up bar is very helpful.

You know what I'd be doing?

I'd be laying in a heap, crying, yelling,

Shanna!

What's wrong?

I don't know.

But it hurts a lot.

My arm ain't supposed to go that

direction.

Yeah, this does not seem right at all.

And I'm going to need some help.

I actually do like this idea.

We need a peanut roaster filled with

random topics just to roll and pick.

Can we just get some roasted peanuts?

I'd be good with that.

I'm a big fan of roasted peanuts.

There's nothing like a roasted peanut.

In the shell,

popping it in the summertime.

and if you go to the right covid

you could do that at restaurants now like

that's hard to find i was about to

say if you go to the right chain

steakhouse you can just you can just throw

the shelves on the floor just texas

roadhouse baby all day long anyway now

these you can just grab and throw in

the garbage that's where they oh dude you

never had good ones then

Dude, I lived in the South.

I got them on I-Ten.

I got them on I-Ten.

A guy's sitting out there making them.

I-Ten runs from the Santa Monica Pier all

the way to Florida.

I don't want to hear you got them

on I-Ten.

That could be anywhere in a number of

places.

I probably bought them from Tallahassee to

Jacksonville and Tallahassee to Pensacola.

Okay.

Somewhere in that area.

Maybe you should come to Louisiana and get

you some real boiled peanuts.

Jesus Christ.

They're good.

They're way better than people give them

credit for.

It took me a long time before I

was like, a boiled peanut?

Are you out of your mind?

And then my brother-in-law made some,

and then I made some.

The only thing good about boiled peanuts

is the salt water.

You know,

you just got to drink the salt water.

Yeah,

I might as well because the peanuts soggy

as hell.

Again, I'm not saying they're not soggy.

The shell is going to get that way,

but you got to season them right and

they come out real good.

I'll tell you, I mean,

I've had my share.

I kept trying them and it is just

not good.

Thank you, Hexy Lover.

I have family Mississippi and boiled

peanuts are slimy, disgusting, yuck.

again you're in mississippi you're missing

the point come over one state uh moss

point exit off i-ten usually has decent

ones thank you mark phillips all right

that's the hopper now now that we got

now that we got through the cooking

portion of our show

Cracking myself up.

The Hopper was announced yesterday.

The Hopper, not Jason Hopper.

Correct.

The old peanut roaster has been oiled up,

kept that nice patina look,

looking real clean,

but it's ready to get some balls.

Okay.

Oh,

I'm not mature enough for this part of

the conversation.

Yes.

Hoping to get some balls inserted into it.

Yeah.

And what was funny is the minute it

came out, like all the discussion,

how's it going to be?

Is it going to be curated?

Is it going to be like made sure

that it fits with everything else?

And,

and then Dave called into the Savant show

last night and basically answered all

those questions with a resounding part.

With a resounding no,

it will not be curated.

Good.

We don't care if you just finish thrusters

and thrusters comes out of the hopper.

Sorry, not sorry.

With with with twenty events it should

still be well rounded enough that whatever

comes out of that hopper should be done.

Now they're going to pull it at

in the morning there will be like six

hours yeah to make the workout and dave

also said that he has a plan that

there will be a special someone that does

that workout rich from the the the popular

thought at this point is greg glassman

that greg does the workout

No,

Greg creates the workout from the

movements that are pulled.

Gotcha.

Yeah, no, that makes a lot more sense.

Yeah, and as Savant said,

if Greg makes it,

y'all are going to be fucked.

That was pretty much his exact words.

I think it's great.

I think it's fantastic.

I really, really do bring it back.

What I think would be cool,

and you could tell from Dave's

conversation last night that it's not all

been ironed out at this point, right?

Sure.

The idea is there.

It is there for its randomness, right?

I think that the crowd or the community

should pick whether it's a couplet,

a triplet, or a chipper.

I like that.

And based on whatever they pick...

That's how many balls come out of the

hopper.

I like that.

Like they did when they, uh,

when they got to vote on heavy day

DT or double DT.

Yeah.

That was good stuff, dude.

I watched that one again the other day

too.

It was funny just watching them,

like watching athletes come off and people

are interviewing, like, what do you think?

What do you want to do?

People are like, let's go heavy.

Let's go.

And then like when they voted heavy,

everybody was like,

okay, it's heavy.

And then Dan Bailey saying,

if we'd have done double DT,

that'd have been really bad.

That'd have been really, really,

really bad.

But yeah, that was, of course,

they're still going to be complaining

about it.

Grant says,

I wouldn't trust Glassman making a workout

anymore.

I don't understand that comment at all,

Greg, or Grant,

because Greg's made a thousand workouts.

Probably more than that.

You don't have to follow who's doing what,

where they're at.

You're just putting together a workout.

That's it.

Now,

I am sure that Greg would get help

with time caps,

those types of things that he does not

follow,

but he can put together a freaking

workout.

Yeah.

Probably better than ninety nine point

nine percent of the population.

It's not on the spot, Grant.

It's over six or seven hours, dude.

They're going to pull from the hopper in

the morning and the workout's going to be

that evening.

It's not going to be on the spot.

It's going to be, oh, right now,

let's go.

Which is great because the athletes know

what is in the workout,

but they don't know what the workout is

until it's revealed later in the day.

Yeah.

That's a whole thing, dude.

I'm excited.

I don't think it'd be trash, Tristan.

I really, really don't.

Tristan's worried about if a program is

trash, it'll kind of ruin the whole thing.

Tristan,

I thought you used to be a positive

guy.

He was until we put the idea of

CrossFit fading away and him having to

fade away into nothingness of the

internet.

It's one workout out of twenty.

Right.

Right.

And if it ends up being,

it's such an interesting argument to me

because like I had one of my athletes

last week,

she's been dealing with some back stuff

and she was like,

we had a hand cleans,

I believe it was,

or she was doing hand cleans,

power cleans.

She was going to do hand cleans just

so she had to hinge all the way

down and get her back up.

And she put on the weight and she

was like,

I think it's too light.

And I said, go faster.

Right.

And this is the same thing kind of

thing.

And I'm thinking about as far as like,

whatever comes out of the hopper,

whatever they put it up.

Oh, if you think it,

if you don't think it's so great, cool,

go faster.

It's real easy.

What would you rather do Fran at ninety

five pounds or Fran at seventy five

pounds?

I'm going to tell you right now,

I'm going to take ninety five all day,

every day,

because I know how fast I can go

in seventy five and it would hurt a

lot more.

A whole lot more.

There's a comment about Grant,

and that's not the part I want to...

His response is,

not to be influenced by some ideas that

don't need to be dogma.

This is the twentieth celebration of the

CrossFit Games.

The twentieth celebration.

Dogma is involved in the celebration.

If you're looking back at your past to

celebrate it...

you should bring back some of the iconic

pieces of those twenty years.

That's when you celebrate the dogma.

Absolutely.

One hundred percent.

I want to see rescue Randy.

I want to see two stroke pool.

I want to see a strong man's fear

or some version of those things.

It doesn't have to be necessarily be that

exact specific workout because some of

that stuff's kind of old.

The loading may be a little bit different

or whatnot.

You know,

the deadlift ladder after the trail run

type stuff would bring that stuff had to

pound rebar again.

I want to see some homage to the

past.

I don't want it all to be that.

No, no, no.

But that's what I'm getting at.

Have some version of these iconic things

that you can picture in your brain.

The sprints all the way down the field.

Those images on what we talked about the

other day.

Dan Bailey bobbling his glasses and

catching it as he's hurtling over the

hurdles.

That stuff is burning my brain forever.

Matt Fraser racing the professor across

the line and like diving across the line

and still didn't beat him and falling down

off the edge of the thing because of

strong man's fear.

That's burned into my brain forever.

The flipping the pig going down the field,

like all of that kind of stuff is,

because it's iconic, right?

You saw it for the first time and

you're like, holy smokes, that is so cool.

So as far as the rest of the

events are concerned, I want to see,

again, I'm with you.

It doesn't need to be the exact workout.

Excuse me.

But stuff like that, yeah,

we want to see that.

I want to see that for damn sure.

One,

we've already been promised more outdoor

games, which is going to make it better.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

We're getting back to the roots of what

CrossFit is and the game should be.

Yep.

Two, we are getting away from the hopper,

Tristan,

so I want to get back to it

for one second.

Dave did say the only limiting factor to

what goes in the hopper would be equipment

and what's available to them in that

evening.

And the example he used is if there's

no pegboard glass up on the rig,

they're not putting pegboards in the

hopper.

Right.

Right.

Someone brought up swimming.

You're not going to bus everybody to a

swimming pool in the middle of this.

Have a swim pool on standby.

Yeah.

Because you're not going to pay the rent

to have it on standby to go to

a pool.

Right.

Right.

And I don't think of swimming being like

a thruster.

Does that make sense?

Like it's not a swimming is not a

swim is not a snatch.

That's not the same type deal.

But you could put a run in there

and run out onto Barack Obama.

Here we go.

I'm never going to let that go.

I'm never going to let that go just

because of the way Dave kept saying it.

We could just do this right here on

Barack Obama.

When he said in that conversation last

night,

there will be a lot done on Barack

Obama for both teams and individuals.

I think it tickles him to say it

as well.

I really, really do.

It has to because he wouldn't just keep

saying it.

I think now he's poking.

Yeah, a hundred percent.

Right.

But what it says is there's going to

be more stuff outside than just the

Wednesday.

Correct.

And there's going to be more stuff on

Barack Obama.

Correct.

Correct.

It's fantastic.

So I think, I think that's awesome.

Yeah, no, a hundred percent.

I am, I am with it.

Absolutely with it.

So let me put out.

So they were going through some of the

workouts that were done at the one place

that was announced earlier this week.

Not the big red barn.

And all I can think of is with

Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Every time they say Big Red Born,

I hear Big Red Dog.

Yeah.

Morgan Hill.

Morgan Hill.

They were listing some of the events that

were there.

And the swim event was there.

The bike repeater workout was there.

The handstand walk where they had to go

one distance and another distance.

Yeah.

Then the snatch ladder was there.

And the CrossFit total.

Yep.

Of those events,

if you could pick one you want to

see again, which would it be?

The handstand walk.

The handstand walk, yeah.

Just because it was a flat-out race.

And, like, Justin Medeiros did it, what,

five yards at a time?

Like, kicked up, kicked down, kicked up,

kicked down, kicked up, kicked down.

I just thought that was exciting.

I like handstand walking as well.

I would say that or maybe the bike

repeater.

That was pretty fun, too.

For me,

it's between bike repeater or that swim

event.

The swim was fun.

I loved that you add a bike,

you add a D-ball clean.

It was slam balls.

Yeah.

Which I had not seen before or since.

And you had to do it one way,

and when you came back the other way,

you had to do it in reverse.

Yeah.

I thought...

I thought that was probably the most fun

swim event I've seen in CrossFit history.

Yeah, that was pretty cool.

And you got to see who had real

swim technique because it was in a pool.

Well,

you got to see who had real swim

technique.

I just watch people swim.

It's different to us.

So I really love those two events.

We've seen snatch ladders done a lot of

different places.

We've seen handstand stuff done other

places.

I get what you're saying.

Other than that,

we've never had a straight handstand

sprint.

Yeah.

Sleds always result in some kind of

controversy.

Controversy.

Controversy.

Contraversy.

Contraversy.

I will say this about a snatch ladder

is that I still get excited watching the

old documentaries for the snatch speed

ladder and like the clean speed ladder.

Those were fun to watch because you got

to run heats.

Everybody's got to go and you got to

go again.

They got to go again.

The weights go up and all that stuff

as people get eliminated.

Those are fun.

We haven't seen that in quite some time.

They've done one rep maxes and blah, blah,

blah.

And they've done like some, a little bit,

but not like, you know, six lanes wide,

eight lanes wide, whatever it was.

And John Parra just walking in between

bars and, and then walking, you know.

Easy Muhammad knocking himself out.

Easy Muhammad knocking himself out,

getting up and finishing the ladder.

Yep.

Easy.

If you're watching this, that was amazing.

also um handstand walk elimination race

would be cool here's my question though

you've got twenty events in four days

there's going to be a compressed time sure

i think that almost eliminates things with

multiple rounds of heats i don't know

because when was the last time you watched

an event and rogue does one every year

where the wait time between rounds isn't

way too long yeah even the uh the

last sprint intervals that we did

where a couple people got eliminated for

stepping on the lines and stuff like that.

That seemed like it took a really long

time.

Yeah, because you have the time,

then you assess the penalties,

then you got to rework the board.

Then it's like they've not come up with...

Rogue, I think finally this last year,

made it so simple that appeals and

penalties weren't even a factor.

Yeah, when they had to put the...

The over-under over, the sled pull,

and then the weight on the pistol.

Yeah, that was fun to watch.

That was exciting to watch.

So they have just made it so simple

that appeals and penalties aren't a

factor,

and then they can move on to the

next round much quicker.

And with that,

I'll bring up Jacob's comment.

Snatch medley would be sick.

Snatch ladder, then max snatch,

then max snatch reps in three minutes.

That's a lot of repetitive movement.

I think you're opening yourself up to

injury.

It's a lot.

It would be a lot.

Gesundheit.

Gesundheit.

Gesundheit.

I always wanted to see beep test basically

a last man standing event.

Only issue is that it punishes the more

fit athlete.

It's akin to doing an AMRAP.

And I don't think Dave would ever use

a Ben Bergeron test in the games.

Negative.

That ain't happening.

Never.

Not ever.

The closest thing we've come to having

something like that was when they did

Mary.

That wasn't a beep test,

but it was an AMRAP for twenty minutes,

and, like, that got,

I don't want to say exciting at the

end, but that was a lot.

That was a whole lot.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That was fun to watch, though.

The way the floor was set up was

really well done.

Yeah, you finished,

you got so many rounds on this side,

and you just went and switched sides to

the other side and gave you a little

bit of time to kind of shake it

out a little bit, and then watching, uh,

what's her name do all her push-ups strict

carrie pierce carrie pierce yeah do all

her handstand push-ups strict which was

absolutely that was insane she's just uh

jacob says i do not think it punishes

them it makes them work to their same

maximum capacity and it makes them earn

their w i disagree now when you're talking

about a long weekend with

any extra volume that you are taking on

with your body is punishing.

Big time.

You don't ever want to do something like

that.

It's not a bad test to do if

you're in a class setting or if you

are

I would say maybe even with a local

comp doing a three-event,

one-day type deal,

and it's like the last event that you

do,

last man standing gets the hundred points,

sure.

But at the games, no,

not a big deal.

You know what's really important when you

have twenty events over four days is

getting good recovery.

I would agree.

And you could do that by getting good

sleep and recovery using the best recovery

product on the market, Thirdsy.

And you can do that and get fifteen

percent off by using code Jazzy at

checkout.

That's Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.

Get you fifteen percent off your order.

Just tell them the Clydesdale Cowboys sent

you.

Sleepy, sleep, sleep, sleep.

Carolyn's in a fighting mood this week.

Here we go.

What's the difference between that and

someone getting capped and not getting the

same volume?

The difference between, in my opinion, Ms.

Carolyn, don't stab me.

Not that you would stab me, but anyway,

is that the difference is the intensity

level at that point.

Because if you are capable of going the

entire time and beating everybody,

you are putting out more work than

everybody else is.

If you are not fit enough and you

get capped,

that's a whole different animal at that

point.

um because i am putting out more more

energy the entire time trying to stay

ahead everybody else and not get

eliminated in a beep test as opposed to

i'm doing what i can and i just

get capped because the time that time

limit runs out the beep test runs until

somebody until everybody the one person's

left standing

whatever that ends up looking like.

And you're dealing with thirty freaking of

the fittest people on the planet.

First of all, that could take a while.

Secondly, nobody wants to lose.

Nobody wants to stop.

They're going to go until they drop.

Yeah.

Ever since the eyelash incident,

Carolyn's a little feisty.

So, yeah.

I think it's cool.

I think it's cool they bring the hopper

back.

I'll be honest, I didn't think they would.

No, I didn't.

But I will say this, too, though.

I didn't think they would,

and I'm glad they're doing it in this

format, if that makes sense.

Like,

we're going to pick it out in the

morning, let everybody know what they got.

By this evening,

we will have a workout for everybody,

and that's what we're doing.

and it doesn't matter if like you said

like we just did thrusters and pull-ups

cool we're doing them again this evening

have fun everybody yep um i really thought

that they would want so much control over

the entire programming that they would

never go back to something so random but

after the explanation from dave last night

it makes sense

They are going to truly test the unknown

and the unknowable.

I like it.

Randomly pull however many balls.

You don't know the workout until later

that night.

Here you go.

I like it.

Anyway.

Moving right along.

There's still a difference in volume done

in both cases.

Someone who is less fit is also going

to their max likely and just has that

capacity.

I think as long as it's not significant

amount of more.

The problem with doing something like the

beep test is that there's going to be

a significant amount of more.

and you're gonna have wider variations.

I understand what you're saying and I

don't think you're necessarily wrong,

but I think that having something like the

beep test

The people at the top are going to

get punished more by the mid-level

athletes or the people who are just a

lot more aerobically inclined to just kind

of keep running and keep running and keep

running.

And the people,

other people are going to fall off or

just go,

there's no way I'm going to beat whoever,

right?

I'm just going to go as far as

I can.

I just don't think it's a good idea.

I do think Jason Bourne makes a good

point that an AMRAP not programmed

perfectly looks like a mess on the floor.

And Dave is big into the story being

told on the floor.

Right.

Yeah.

Even with multiple rounds,

you have to put some kind of a

counter up the lane of some sort so

that the story is being told with an

AMRAP that it could get wild if not

programmed perfectly.

Yeah.

It's hard to follow because you don't,

it's like you said, without counters,

you're looking around going,

what round are they on?

I bet you Saturday morning they have some

sort of capital type event.

I don't think you can recapture the

capital.

What happened in that event is,

I just don't think you can.

And I don't think Dave has any attachment

to the Capitol.

No.

That was Boz's event.

It's Boz's stuff.

And as much as he didn't even watch

that year.

Yeah.

As much as he trusts Bob and respects

Bob and all that stuff,

he's not going to try to recreate any,

any of that kind of stuff.

He might do his own version of something

along those lines.

That wouldn't surprise me.

Have a long run into something,

into something that wouldn't surprise me

at all,

but I don't think he's going to do,

you know, and you're never going to,

you're never going to recreate that.

Like,

it's just not going to happen.

Becca walking up the stairs,

carrying that bag that was as big as

she is and everybody just willing her to

get all the way up the stairs.

Like that's an iconic moment.

It's not gonna,

you're not gonna be able to do it

again.

Yeah, I don't, it's not,

Dave has not typically done a run like

that late into the weekend.

No.

But who knows?

We don't know.

other thing is i think you have to

be careful about how many long events you

do because you have to get twenty of

them in in four days so i don't

know i'm excited dude i really am i'm

gonna be i'm gonna be competing that

weekend it turns out maybe uh because

monster games is the same weekend but they

have a

They're setting up an entire like a watch

party area for us specifically so we can

kind of keep up what's going on.

So we can have like big TVs and

stuff out there so we can see what's

going on and kind of keep up without

having to run back and forth to hotel

rooms or Airbnbs or where everybody's

staying.

So that's going to be cool.

But I am so very curious to see.

and i'm glad we're getting into that area

where like they're starting to release

more stuff now right like hey we're gonna

do this hopper event and this is how

it's gonna go and let's answer any

questions that you have about it and

whatnot um so that you know you can

kind of and generating some more

excitement about it hey we're gonna do

this we're gonna do that we're gonna do

this without without releasing all of them

because i don't think we need to know

all twenty before they get started but i

like that kind of stuff

I like the slow leak that they're starting

and that, as Dave put it,

the drumbeat of the release.

This is the last question and then I

got to go to a meeting.

Why would they have it on the same

weekend?

Well, Howie, it was not intentional.

Monster Games is always the end of July.

The Games has always been the first part

of August.

Games moved.

yeah and they plopped themselves right on

top of where monster games is held every

year so not an intentional thing monster

games kind of got the shaft by crossfit

moving their event yeah it'll be fine

there's still gonna be a ton of people

there not a big deal so with that

um good discussion

uh make sure you go to chipotle today

and get your avocado avocado is extra with

that um i hope you guys have a

great rest your day and we'll be back

tomorrow where i have a little bit more

time to chat with that we'll see everybody

then i wouldn't wait to get to the

editing room to jazz me up i'm already

jazzy

Love's with the Clydesdale cowboy in the

saddle.

Love's with the Clydesdale cowboy in the

saddle.

Talking to reps,

real life strength in the battle.

From the gym to the screen, yeah,

we covered it all.

Midday motivation every time we press

call.
