What's going on, everybody?

It is freezing cold in the north and

it's only going to get worse.

Let's talk about it.

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...

I'm shorting out, man.

That was weird.

Let's try this.

It's lunchtime.

What is going on, everybody?

Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale.

I am the Clydesdale.

He is Cowboy.

Very nice.

I want to surprise you with a little

sound effect, man.

I'll take it.

I'll take it.

I'll take it.

I'm also not made of cake.

You're also not made of cake.

Yeah,

this is – can you name where this

is from?

Cowboy.

Yeah, Kid Rock's home.

There we go.

Yeah, the very opening chords.

I was going to say it's Odd Storch.

Yeah.

We've got Vicki.

We've got Trent Olive.

We've got Ortega already in the house.

So Larry Young went from four to twenty

one signups for open.

That's nice.

Nice.

I actually have that on our list, man.

It's.

Yesterday, or was it yesterday?

Yeah.

Dave Castro was on the Sport of Fitness

podcast with Chase.

They talked about the numbers from the

open, and things are looking up.

How up?

Things are looking fantastic.

So here is Jenny clipped this and has

it on Dense Updates.

This is what she clipped.

Open Reg has been open for one week.

We have forty thousand five hundred and

sixty people signed up for the open and

it's the most we've had since twenty

twenty two.

Double of what we had last year.

So one of the best opening days that

we've ever had in the open last week.

So last Wednesday,

we was the second highest day one ever.

Damn, that's cool.

Crossed it open.

So.

Second highest day one ever.

And we're at the highest since twenty

twenty two for one week.

Forty thousand five hundred people.

Love to see it.

So, yeah,

things are off to a good start.

Hopefully we see it stay this way.

Agreed.

wrap it up, wrap it up,

wrap it up, keep it going.

You know, let's,

let's get three thousand people signed up.

What I think is awesome is all the

people like out there buying other people

open registrations.

Oh,

I'm fixing to do a couple of that

for a couple people in my gym.

They just don't know it yet.

Yeah, it's you can buy bundles now.

You can in two different ways.

You can actually buy like a group of

open registrations at a discounted rate

and hand out to people.

Or you can buy these bundles now that

you get your judges cert,

a T-shirt and your open registration.

I didn't get the bundle because I didn't

want the T-shirt,

but I do need to do the judges

course this year.

Because I did not do the advanced judges

course last year.

I don't think I did anyway.

I have to go back and look.

I don't remember doing the advanced judges

course.

I know I did the regular one.

Lito just got her little sister to sign

up today for her very first Open.

That's what we're talking about.

Let's go.

Let's go.

You don't really know what the Open is

until you do it.

no like if it wasn't for the peer

pressure of my friends making me sign up

i would not have known what it was

about and and here we are fourteen opens

later or thirteen or whatever it is i

don't even know a lot a lot of

opens later it's been several it's been

several this is my eighth so

All this momentum for the love of God,

Dave,

give us a decently well-rounded open.

Keep this merry-go-round turning.

A well-rounded open, Larry,

or one that you like, Larry?

I was about to say,

Larry's idea of a well-rounded open is

going to have a one right max bench

press in it.

Ortega's sponsoring five people.

If anybody you know is new and wants

to do the open and for whatever reason

can't pay, Ortega's your man.

good on you good on you jonathan good

on you yeah i know a lot of

people are doing that i know uh um

jenny on dense updates this morning she

bought two open bundles uh so t-shirt and

judges course and are giving them away on

the next show outstanding outstanding i'll

probably do something like that in the

coming weeks but we have we have a

little bit of time

Yeah, got plenty of time.

Vicky said, ditto what Ortega said.

Go ahead, Vicky.

Vicky's a good dude, man.

Mark Phillips,

I'd sign up twice for a bench one

rep max.

You and me both.

You and me both.

I would not,

even though I have been benching here

lately, but no.

Not my thing.

Uh, agree.

Outstanding idea.

Um, ground is going down.

Uh,

five AM squat club got a little feature

on the Hiller channel yesterday.

I was literally watching that before we

went live, like before I logged in, um,

Dude,

his little morning thing he's got going on

is pretty cool.

Like, got the live chat going on.

His voice is super calming.

Like, very, very zen type thing.

I really do like the man's approach.

Good on you, my brother.

Good on you.

Yeah, my problem is at five a.m.

I need Harold Rollins.

Oh, yeah, no.

Henry Rollins.

henry rollins henry rollins yes i knew who

you meant yeah i knew you meant yeah

oh one hundred percent no uh you're a

guy here would i be just like napping

on my on my mat dude on on

the way so i'm i'm up at four

thirty i'm usually out the house here

lately by five fifteen something on those

lines and on the way to the gym

not real loud,

but as soon as I get there,

my earbuds go in and like,

we just blast and whatever,

whatever it is I'm blasting.

Cause I need to, I need to,

I need the noise.

Uh, yeah, I, one of the,

my pump up songs is a ball.

What the Bob, a dang,

a dang diggy diggy, you know,

speaking of kid rock, that gets me up.

Let's go.

Uh, I'm too anxious for that stuff.

Maybe some Steven Wilson jr.

If I could play it on YouTube.

Yeah.

That's dang picky.

I am curious as to, uh, Oh dude,

all of my, uh,

my qualifier videos from last year, uh,

I say all of them,

ninety percent of my qualifier videos from

last year,

whether it be for quarterfinal semifinal

or semifinals or like online qualifiers,

got flagged every single one of them.

Your video may not show in certain

countries.

I'm like,

as long as it shows to the people

who are watching it, I don't care.

People in Pakistan can't see it.

It's going to be fine.

you know i did that music show for

a brief minute where we would do top

fives of a different genre all of those

are are flagged all of them i am

curious as to uh if he because hillary

mentioned in his videos wondering if he

gets dinged because he is monetized like

he's got enough people to be so i'm

wondering if he gets dinged because like

his music's just playing in the background

Yeah, I'm monetized.

And so when you get dinged,

like it cuts anything you make on that

video.

And I make enough to pay for my

platforms now.

So, you know, I'm not making money,

but I'm breaking even now because of what

I make on YouTube.

So I don't want them to get like

dinged a lot.

And if we would get some people,

more people to subscribe,

we could get a little bit more money

and keep that going.

Yeah, so like and subscribe, people.

Like and subscribe.

That's what I'm looking for.

Alito mutes all of her videos and just

shows her name on a little whiteboard.

I know a lot of people went to

that.

It was pretty smart.

Put all the information they want on the

whiteboard, hold it up to the camera.

That way you don't forget.

I got one last year and had to

redo the whole workout.

Yeah.

You don't forget,

you don't stumble over yourself sometimes,

which I do because like,

so last year we had to have the

judge and the head judge, right?

So my judge is, uh,

Bernard and my head judge was Jeff,

depending on which one was going on.

And,

every single,

if you go back and look at my

semifinal videos from last year,

every single one of them there in the

background,

like doing something to start off with,

like they were doing dumbbell curls at one

point on the time they were doing pushups

and you got to introduce them every single

time.

And so like, if that goes wrong,

then you're laughing at yourself and it's

a whole thing.

I'm Mark Phillips, same Lito.

Plus no one can hear my wife yell

at me when I mute the video.

i got the opposite problem mark i yelled

at my wife last year so i got

that going for me but they they changed

my music oh i know right as i'm

starting to work out i remember when it

happened yeah all queued up to get going

and bro i was feeling it and i

was like okay start the clock and as

soon as it starts i take off it

was the lunge

I think it was.

And she tells Brody to go change that

song because she didn't like it.

Yeah.

My wife does it every time I'm driving

and listen,

driver gets control of the music.

They're the ones that have to stay alert

and awake.

Everybody else in the car can be on

their phone and sleep and do whatever they

want.

I get to control the music.

Yeah.

We're playing what I want to hear.

And if I'm working out, I,

and I'm the only one I damn well

better get to control the music.

Yeah, no,

you don't get a say in what I'm

listening to just because you're there.

That doesn't work that way.

we had an interesting conversation

yesterday right after we went off the air

about shows that jumped the shark and we,

and we had this conversation.

Let me preface it with that.

There are,

there are media outlets in this space that

people still listen to.

And you and I are like,

I don't know why,

because there's nothing new coming from

these people,

but there's this sense of loyalty that you

get by watching or listening to somebody

and,

And I use an example with you of,

you know, just like a TV show.

You watch and you watch and you watch,

and then it gets really bad.

And you're like, well,

I've stuck with them for five years,

so I'm just going to see it out.

And then it never gets any better.

Well,

we had a fun conversation yesterday

because your wife is a massive fan of

nine one one.

Explain.

And I actually used to watch it.

I thought it jumped the shark.

And I jumped off.

I was gone.

You're telling me this season it's even

worse than before.

They went into space.

There was a nine-man emergency in space.

in space they put them on some sort

of automated capsule that they've blasted

them off into space so the police lady

who was married to the fire chief and

then the other fire lady the black the

bald-headed lady were both on the stand

and it just so happens that they know

each other

And they got to go off into space

at the same time,

even though it was just random people from

whatever, which makes, first of all,

that's absurd to begin with, right?

That's like,

if me and you got chosen and you're

like,

we're going to put you guys on the

same capsule with these three or four,

whatever, however many it was,

strangers to have this experience and to

go into space.

And then of course,

as soon as they get into space,

shit goes crazy.

And there's now a nine one one emergency.

And like the people on the ground from

the nine one one are like helping them

to try to figure out what's going on

in this capsule.

And they're talking to these other people.

What about this?

And I'm just sitting here.

I'm like, bro, what are we doing?

What are we doing?

Why?

I get home and that's what's on there.

And of course, my wife,

who I love very much,

who occasionally does actually listen to

this show,

will look at me and be like,

just let me enjoy my show.

I'm like, I would love to.

But holy smokes.

Like, it is bad.

I'll train all of I'm still watching nine

on one,

but this season is a bit bizarre.

What got me, Winter,

is when the cruise ship flipped upside

down and did not sink.

That's what sent me packing.

Now we're talking like that's not even

feasible.

They went to space.

And now we went to space.

It's like, so have you seen the...

know if it was the latest fast and

furious movie or the one before that but

like no they made a rocket ship they

made a spaceship out of a fierro a

pontiac fierro and they they blasted uh

ludacris and uh oh what's his name

anyway they blasted them too because they

had to go do something into space and

of course they just figured out how to

make a rocket and so it's the same

thing right like now we're fast and

furious in an in space now we're nine

one one with the two random characters

from the show now the pontiac fiero whose

big default was if you shut both doors

at the same time the back window blew

out that was they caught on fire

Yeah.

And they happen to catch on fire.

The Iron Duke actually caught on fire from

time to time.

And they were like, you know what?

You should make one of those.

Going into space.

Of course it is.

Obviously.

Yeah.

They also catch on fire.

Yeah.

So it's well-equipped to handle breaking

through the atmosphere and going into

space.

Just some slight modifications,

and it was perfectly fine.

They were also in space in old-school

diving bell uniforms.

Because, you know, why wouldn't you be?

Jody,

I wasn't aware of this nine one to

one show.

Well,

originally it was actually kind of good.

It was just,

it was almost like a mission impossible

ish cop show and, and fire show.

And it was like high end action with

it,

but it has long ago jumped the shark

and I can no longer can no longer

watch it.

And like we were talking about, okay,

so there's,

there's winter saying that one.

Now there's nine one one Nashville.

It's awful,

a hundred times worse than the original.

Like we were talking about yesterday,

Chris O'Donnell,

Robin from the worst Batman movie ever

made is somehow a Southern fire chief in

the Nashville station.

And like they parade country stores on

there because they're in Nashville.

Like they just cameos from random people

while they're on there and whatnot.

And like the whole thing is absolutely,

It's insane.

It really, really is.

Well, I have a meeting at one,

so I want to get through a couple

little things here.

But I did want to talk about that.

I thought it was a fun conversation.

Legends.

Legends have put out more invitations.

Now, these ones make sense.

Yeah.

These are either the top ten or the

top five from the games last year got

invites to Del Mar.

Here is the elite division,

top ten finishers at the games.

Regardless if you think they're going to

compete this year or not,

like Tia Claire Toomey,

got an invite to Del Mar.

Um,

not to be confused with Reno nine one

one.

It's actually getting very close to Reno

nine one one at this point.

It's the difference between it is that

Reno nine one one is,

is intentionally funny and it knows who it

is and it knows who it is.

And nine one one is unintentionally funny

just because of how ridiculous it is

moving right along.

So these are the top ten from the

games last year.

It also went into the top ten finishers

in each of the Masters divisions.

Got an automatic bid for Del Mar.

So there's our very own Carolyn Prevost.

On the next screen,

there's our very own Jamie Latimer.

They both got invites into Del Mar this

year for the Legends.

Shout out to Rudy Berger.

Jody, how about True Detective?

Anyone seen that?

I heard Jody Foster tell about it on

Conan.

I watched the first season with

McConaughey and Woody Harrelson,

which was really good.

But I mean,

it is one of those you cannot look

away, but it is.

I don't know.

It's good.

But the subsequent seasons,

I just couldn't get into.

My wife tried to watch the Jody Foster

one,

and she even bagged out on that one.

So here it is.

Lito's asking how long they have.

They do not say, they just say, athletes,

check your email and DMs for your

registration invite.

If you don't see an email,

DM us here and we'll get it to

you right away.

So we don't know how long they have

to accept the invite and what it means

for how they backfill if anybody says no.

But you know, at some of these levels,

people are not going to go all the

way to California for their...

For their semifinal.

What is Jamie saying right there?

If I decline, what?

Oh, if we decline this,

then finish high enough in quarters,

would we be in line for another invite?

That's an excellent question.

So Jamie has that hip surgery thing that

she's rehabbing and she just doesn't know

where she's going to be at that point

in time in the year.

So that's why she would ask a question

like that.

That's a legit question.

Because she may decline this because at

this point,

she really shouldn't be doing that.

And and then Megan is following.

Yes, you will receive another invite.

Okay.

But if you accept and don't place high

enough, your invite gets revoked?

No.

Come on, people.

Now you're just being silly.

That's just being some type of way.

I'm also wondering about Elite.

Just for John Wood's response here,

let's invite the same ten people to every

competition.

Because everybody on this earth got a

mayhem invite too.

yes and i'm betting they're on the

syndicate invite list too so and some have

already declined one and haven't said

anything about the next one like this is

gonna by the time this is actually settled

and done or even by the open whatever

because

They're going to have invitations.

Then they're going to have not

invitations.

And they're going to have,

we're going to have to go to the

open and then quarters.

And then, okay,

now you get an invitation from quarters to

go.

It's a mess.

And it's only going to get worse.

Lito,

just because she wants to aggravate me.

What if you're invited, you accept,

and then don't sign up for the open?

If it were my world,

you would then be disqualified from

competing because you do not qualify for

the games because you did not participate

in the Open.

However, it's allowed in this thing,

and who the hell knows what's allowed?

That is Wilson Pack's world.

It is.

Wilson and my world jive.

If you're not eligible to make the

CrossFit Games or you have already

qualified for the games,

you are disqualified from being at his

event.

Dylan, moving right along.

Mark Phillips,

wildcards don't have to do the open,

so they have a loophole.

But to go to the games,

you have to have done the open.

You have to finish top two thousand in

the world at quarterfinals.

And you can't go to quarterfinals without

doing the open.

I think what he's talking about is like

the like when when what's his face went

a couple of years ago,

I say a couple of years ago in

twenty nineteen.

Wild cards to the games.

There are no wild cards.

They have the right to reserve whoever

they invite up to a couple of whoever

they want to actually invite.

The rules were different in twenty

nineteen.

They were different.

The rules as of last year,

twenty twenty five and twenty twenty six.

You have to finish so high in the

open to qualify to be a games athlete.

Anything that happens before that,

we're not under these rules.

Bring up Lito's comment.

What if you pop for PEDs,

then take four years juicing,

and then get invited to semifinals asking

for a friend?

We discussed that yesterday.

That is a very, very bad look.

Very bad look.

However...

These because CrossFit has let these

people run their own competitions.

They can do whatever they want with their

invitations.

Do I agree with it?

I do not, but it's not my world.

I think it's a bad look.

I think when you have a problem of

PED use,

you don't promote people who popped

without and make that allow them to skip

elements of the season.

That is just ridiculous.

Because I feel like if you just got

an invitation and all you did was sign

up for the open,

basically sleepwalk through that,

sleepwalk through quarterfinals,

but you got an invitation to a semifinal

and you win,

now you just kind of circumvented the

entire system at that point because you

didn't really do semifinals.

You didn't really do quarterfinals.

You didn't put your body through that.

You just kind of skate and go and

buy and then just go and do one

live competition and now all of a sudden

you're at the games.

What if you pop for PEDs, register,

but do not do the open,

rub your belly and pat your head and

jump on one foot at all at the

same time?

Well, in that case,

then you get the extra silly clause of

you are an automatic podium finisher at

the games.

I think you get,

I think that's how you get spirited to

games.

Um, just, oh gosh, Andrew.

Uh,

so CrossFit could invite someone who

didn't, oh, here it is.

Dang it.

Keeps moving.

Uh,

CrossFit rule book says CrossFit can

invite anyone at any stage of the

competition.

They haven't though.

They haven't since twenty nineteen.

But that doesn't mean they won't.

There's only thirty spots now.

You can't.

I'm not saying you're wrong.

And I get it.

There's only thirty spots.

It's way less than it was before.

But that's not saying that they've done

dumber shit.

It wouldn't surprise me at this point.

Well,

the last thing I want to talk about,

because I only have a couple minutes,

is it's been circling around that there's

a small cut in one of the Mayhem

videos where Rich is discussing the live

stream for the Mayhem classic and the way

they lost money last year because of the

cost of that

of that stream, right?

They publicly said they spent over two

hundred thousand dollars on that stream

last year.

They lost money and they're not going to

do it again this year.

So what does that mean

than for live streaming.

And I think it's not just a mayhem

thing.

I think it's a big thing.

Because when I was talking with Wilson Pak

a month ago, you know,

he's under the same... Last year,

Savant's team came in,

did it at a very, very reduced rate,

if not free.

I don't know the details of their deal,

but it was way less than any of

the other streaming services.

This year...

Syndicate Crown and NorCal are on the same

weekend.

So the Savant team can only do one

of the two.

So now Wilson is left with how is

he going to stream this if it is

even possible?

So I know a lot of competitions are

talking about that they're not going to be

able to do streaming of an event anymore.

And they're going to do packaged

highlights of the day and put them out

as quickly as possible.

I think we've been spoiled for a long

time because Greg Glassman opened the

checkbook or Reebok opened the checkbook

for many years.

And we had streams of everything.

And it was a high quality stream that

we did not have to pay for.

And now anytime you put anything behind a

paywall, people like flip the hell out.

But the truth of the matter is it's

too expensive for these competitions to

fund it on their own.

And I think that we are getting to

a point where either you're going to have

to put it behind a paywall to recoup

as much money as you can for the

streams,

or you're going to get prepackaged,

post-packaged little documentaries or

whatever of highlighting the events.

What are your thoughts?

I think everybody after,

was it Floy Lee that did it behind

the paywall first?

And it was terrible.

It was terrible.

Right.

It was absolutely terrible.

And I think even now that's been, what,

six, seven years now,

if not longer than that,

it left a bad taste in anybody's mouth

to have anything behind a paywall,

which is why people are trying to look

at it and trying to find cheaper options

out there to do it.

I don't understand why everybody,

not why it costs so much,

but why everybody just keeps going back to

the same people.

It's Hamilton Road, it's Hamilton Road,

it's Hamilton Road.

It's the only people that anybody seems to

know how to use.

I would think there'd be other options out

there that could do something.

slightly less expensive.

What Savannah did last year was insane,

given the resources that they had.

They lost money.

They absolutely did.

Sousa was way up there.

It was very,

very upfront about the fact that, yeah,

if they would have charged for it,

how much it would have cost, et cetera,

et cetera, et cetera.

But I just think that there's got to

be a better option.

than trying to put it behind a paywall

because people just, they get turned off.

They're like, I'm not spending.

Twenty bucks to watch this for the entire

weekend.

Um, when you,

especially not knowing what the quality is

going to look like beforehand.

Here's my thing.

And I've said this about a lot of

things and why I,

I subscribed to a couple of channels to

support the people that do podcasts in

this space.

Right.

Um,

because like we do this for free for

most of the, most of it, right.

If I go to a movie,

I don't get to go in for free

and just watch the movie.

Like I have to pay admission for that

entertainment.

If you're watching a CrossFit event,

you're doing it because it's entertainment

to you.

Whether you like to hang out in the

chat,

whether you like to watch the event or

whatever you want to do, right?

So to expect it to be free all

the time,

we just were spoiled for too long.

Right.

As Sousa said in that crash behind the

scenes,

that if they were going to do it

and not lose money and just break even,

they would have to charge between like

sixty and seventy five thousand dollars.

And that would be just to break even,

not even to make any money on it.

Jenny says,

we all paid out of our pockets to

be there and provide that for free to

the community while athletes refused

interviews and people at home on their

high horses and criticized it.

Good times.

I just want to spin this a little

bit.

Yes,

there were athletes that refused

interviews,

but there were athletes that embraced it.

And they made out big because you gave

them that opportunity.

We got to learn about Mason and we

got to learn about Miley Wade and we

got to learn about Reese Littlewood and

all those people that did not turn you

down, right?

And the interviews were awesome.

They were different than anything we've

had on any other broadcast.

And NorCal was post-produced,

but it was fast.

I don't know if anybody else is equipped

to do it that fast.

We can say it,

but that whole team put NorCal out in

like a half an hour after it was

done.

Sometimes fifteen minutes,

which is absolutely, that's insane.

That's absolutely wild.

To piggyback on what you just said, Scott,

to the people that refuse interviews,

to hell with them.

You're missing out on that point,

on your chance to tell your whatever just

happened story.

So if you're just going to look at

it and go,

I'm not talking to Savant's crew, blah,

blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever.

Cool.

Go on.

We'll talk to these other people who are

here and who are interested and who are

invested and who want to be a part

of whatever this is.

If you don't want to, awesome.

That's on you.

Bye.

Moving on.

So, yeah, dude, both things.

And their coverage of Crash.

Their coverage of Crash was ridiculously

good.

Yeah.

Ridiculously good.

What all the things that they were able

to do.

I just wish that you could clone that

crew to do a couple more events, right?

Because now we have these events that land

on the exact same weekend and you're SOL.

Yeah.

I love it worth every penny.

Sousa is a miracle worker.

Like that's the one thing I don't like.

We all love this space so much.

Every event I go to,

it's all on my own dime.

I pay for my flight.

I pay for my hotel.

I pay for my food.

I do all of that stuff to go

get interviews with athletes,

to do documentaries behind the scenes,

to do all this stuff.

I don't get paid for anything.

I do it because I love it.

Right.

just like Jenny, just like Sousa,

just like Siobhan, just like Caleb.

They all go do that because they just

love it.

They love hanging out together.

They love putting on a show.

That's why we all go.

And then we've created this other

community that I just like going hanging

out with people.

Yeah.

I would love to,

if I would have had the time,

I would love to go out there and

help them with that.

Right?

Because I'm sure it's a kick in the

ass.

Right?

Everybody's working,

but none of them are taking it seriously.

But they're not taking each other

seriously, if that makes sense.

They're taking their job seriously,

but you know everybody's messing with

everybody the entire weekend.

They're exhausted.

They're laughing the entire time,

and they're putting out a ridiculous

quality product because they want to be

there.

You're not going to get that kind of

stuff.

I say that.

It would be more difficult to get that

kind of stuff from people that you're

actually paying if that's all,

the only reason that they're there is to

get paid.

Every single person that was on that crew

was there because they love what they do

and they love being able to put that

kind of stuff out there into the world.

People would drop thirty dollars on a

Tyson fight knowing it might only last

sixty seconds.

Paying five to ten dollars for a weekend

live stream should be nothing for people.

Listen,

Rogue does a paywall that gets you extra.

And they didn't even do that this year.

Two years prior,

they did a paywall for twenty five bucks

that gave you control of the camera.

Like wild shit that we've never even seen

before.

I paid it every year and it was

so worth it.

And I felt like I was helping out.

Rogue for putting on this great show.

I get a weekend of entertainment because

of what you've put out there.

The least I can do is pay twenty

five bucks to watch it.

Got a new member, Mark Phillips.

Nice.

Thank you very, very much, man.

Vicky live.

Tickets.

Tickets are going to probably be four

hundred bucks again.

Paying fifty for the weekend should be

nothing.

True.

Thank you, Mark.

Thank you again.

I really, really appreciate it.

Five percent.

Well,

if they do decide to live stream it

and put it behind the paywall,

I will be the first person to sign

up for it because I want to see

what happens.

Well,

and there are some comps that have the

have the glitz and glam around it that

you will pay for.

Like I will pay for a mayhem.

I'll pay for a NorCal cause it's the

train wreck that everybody just wants to

see.

Right.

I'll pay for them cause it's this classic

awesome event put on by the goat of

the, of the space.

I'll watch syndicate crown cause I'm a

huge fan of Wilson Park and I will

support anything he's behind.

Like those three things I'll pay for every

single year.

if I can't go in person.

Right.

I would say this year,

as much crap as we've been given to

Legends people,

just the fact that they're in Del Mar,

if they put it behind,

people are going to pay to watch that.

I know it's a horse barn.

I just want to go see it because

all the videos I watched early on when

I started CrossFit and all the big stars

that were at Del Mar in the California

region doing their thing,

I just want to see it one time,

right?

Yeah.

Nostalgia.

I used to think Wilson Pac was the

rapper every time they talked about him

until I met him.

Yeah, and he is far from a rapper.

He's just one of the coolest dudes.

I can't believe he lives up the street

from me now.

I can't believe.

It's so awesome.

I want to reach out to him and

see if there's anything I can do to

help him with the Syndicate Crown.

And maybe I'll do that this weekend.

I just have all that shit happening next

week and I just need to get through

that.

So, well guys,

it is nine minutes till I have to

be in a meeting.

So guys,

if I could just share with you the

shit I've gone through in the last two

days, I just can't, uh, maybe later,

but Oh my gosh.

Uh, Craig,

I will pay for those plus French,

French throw down and Torian.

Yeah.

I mean,

I'd pay for a lot of them.

I'll be honest.

I just hope my, my wife isn't watching.

Uh, Claire says great show.

Thank you.

Thanks.

She said such nice,

nice things about our whole crew the other

night on their show.

I really appreciate Claire and John for

saying those things.

It was really nice.

Yes, meetings just suck.

Boo to meetings.

If it's anything like my government job,

I feel your pain.

I am sure it's everything like your

government job, Vicky.

Everything.

All right, guys.

With that,

I'm going to head out of here.

I will catch you all tomorrow.

We'll find some fun stuff to talk about.

Let's do it then.

Bye, guys.
