on everybody welcome 00:46.385 --> 01:13.537 to thursday night crossfit talk the official crossfit update show of thursday nights what's going on i'm here with jamie she's all festive in her redemption fitness holiday sweater snuggled by the fire while her husband works on a broken washer lord the last thing we need right now this thing's torn torn apart you got the snapchat but oh my gosh it's a mess 01:15.236 --> 01:15.836 Yeah. 01:15.856 --> 01:26.199 I, in the last, like maybe two years ago, we broke down and got a home warranty because like, I just can't anymore forever. 01:26.239 --> 01:29.520 I tried to fix everything just because we were broken, like out of necessity. 01:29.541 --> 01:37.723 I did what I could use YouTube and whatever, but we broke down and finally got a home warranty for the like appliances. 01:37.743 --> 01:39.684 That's what we should have done. 01:39.744 --> 01:40.044 Yeah. 01:40.104 --> 01:40.984 That's what Aaron's been doing. 01:41.144 --> 01:41.584 YouTube. 01:41.624 --> 01:42.505 He's like, I don't know. 01:42.525 --> 01:43.485 This thing might be shot. 01:43.565 --> 01:43.705 So. 01:45.202 --> 01:45.763 We will see. 01:45.783 --> 01:47.206 Yeah. 01:48.148 --> 01:49.772 And our girl Holly's in the chat. 01:50.413 --> 01:51.395 Always there to help us. 01:53.640 --> 01:55.484 Maybe she can help interpret this rule book. 01:56.425 --> 01:57.546 We're going to go through the rule book. 01:58.166 --> 02:01.329 The nice thing they did this year is everything that's new, they marked as new. 02:02.270 --> 02:09.215 So we're just going to go through the highlights and kind of hit the new stuff and tell me where to stop. 02:09.255 --> 02:09.796 We'll stop. 02:10.557 --> 02:13.099 If we want to discuss more, we will. 02:13.799 --> 02:19.484 It's going to be a free-flowing thing because I think with anything, you got to kind of read it, digest it. 02:20.802 --> 02:21.982 kind of figure it out. 02:22.082 --> 02:24.683 So, um, we'll just kind of hit the highlights. 02:25.463 --> 02:29.965 Um, and it may be talk about it more once we kind of get an understanding for it next, next week. 02:30.825 --> 02:35.126 But, um, I, I did look like some of the new stuff. 02:35.306 --> 02:36.247 I was like, that's not new. 02:36.367 --> 02:37.627 That's not new, but we'll talk about that. 02:37.767 --> 02:50.451 Um, but can I just say we have a rule book and still no, and we have the CrossFit games tickets out and still no date or place. 02:50.916 --> 02:52.037 for masters. 02:53.878 --> 02:54.459 Or teens. 02:56.901 --> 02:58.622 At least they know it's like at Pitt. 02:58.642 --> 02:59.903 I mean, they have an idea, right? 02:59.963 --> 03:01.144 Like they know they're going to Michigan. 03:04.527 --> 03:04.767 Yeah. 03:05.188 --> 03:07.650 I just, how can you release ticket information? 03:07.670 --> 03:11.012 Like how, like how, what if it's the week after? 03:11.052 --> 03:13.695 And like, I can't, you can't make like the two trips. 03:13.735 --> 03:17.678 Like people need to know to make plans. 03:17.918 --> 03:18.899 Like we have no clue. 03:19.952 --> 03:20.312 I agree. 03:21.513 --> 03:22.814 I'm going to talk about that. 03:23.675 --> 03:23.875 Okay. 03:24.435 --> 03:30.360 I do want to talk about that because I do think that the timing of the ticket sales is scary to me. 03:32.622 --> 03:32.782 Yeah. 03:33.002 --> 03:35.524 And we'll talk about the why's when we kind of get to that point. 03:35.584 --> 03:37.505 But let's go through the yearbook. 03:37.565 --> 03:38.366 I'm a yearbook. 03:38.386 --> 03:41.028 I just went back 40 years. 03:44.483 --> 03:46.604 Who's the captain of the cheerleading team? 03:47.244 --> 03:49.326 All right, here we go. 03:49.946 --> 03:52.647 Share screen, rule book, not yearbook. 03:55.289 --> 03:55.809 Here we go. 03:55.829 --> 03:59.371 All right, I'm going to try to expand this up a bit. 03:59.391 --> 04:03.373 ACR, what's going on? 04:03.573 --> 04:03.833 Maybe. 04:03.853 --> 04:05.634 How about I just hit this? 04:07.195 --> 04:07.575 There we go. 04:09.690 --> 04:11.371 All right, so we're going to go through the rule book. 04:11.631 --> 04:12.792 There's the table of contents. 04:13.353 --> 04:14.373 We're not going to stop there. 04:18.056 --> 04:20.738 The open, they've already announced when it's going to start. 04:21.298 --> 04:23.060 Three weeks, just like always. 04:24.441 --> 04:26.362 The drug testing policy, it's still $20. 04:26.422 --> 04:27.183 That's good. 04:27.203 --> 04:34.088 I know some people thought it might go up to $25. 04:34.128 --> 04:34.228 Yeah. 04:39.088 --> 04:40.609 regional selection that, okay. 04:40.709 --> 04:44.532 So regional selection, uncommon situations, petition for exemption. 04:45.493 --> 04:51.117 So they spell out, um, the thing that's new about this is that you've had the ability to petition. 04:51.758 --> 04:59.104 If you wanted to be in a different region than your citizenship was in, uh, there were people that took advantage of that last year. 04:59.124 --> 05:01.886 Um, like Roman and, um, 05:04.221 --> 05:07.003 and others, but we'll kind of go through this. 05:07.043 --> 05:08.884 They spell it out more clearly this year. 05:10.405 --> 05:33.120 Some uncommon situations for selecting an athlete's competition region include military personnel, athletes with dual or multiple citizenships, athletes in the process of applying for new citizenship, adjusted status, athletes holding permanent residency in a different country other than where they hold citizenship. 05:35.941 --> 05:45.444 If the athlete resides in a region outside their country in citizenship and believes they may advance to the in-person semifinal stage, they may petition. 05:46.625 --> 05:48.726 These must be resolved by February 1st. 05:50.386 --> 05:52.087 There's a list of what you have to approve. 05:54.167 --> 05:59.629 And the athlete must apply every year to do this. 06:00.229 --> 06:02.010 It's not a one-time deal. 06:04.574 --> 06:06.015 So that's actually pretty good. 06:06.035 --> 06:14.701 I think last year there was some behind the curtain work of when people got this and when they didn't. 06:14.841 --> 06:17.863 Now it's spelled out what are the cases for that. 06:18.764 --> 06:19.865 So I think that's a good thing. 06:21.642 --> 06:24.783 Then we go down to open registration for teams, blah, blah, blah. 06:25.664 --> 06:26.484 It's all the same. 06:26.924 --> 06:38.769 I was hoping that the injury to one of the four could be replaced by the alternate, but they didn't change anything. 06:39.929 --> 06:42.150 At any point in time, it should be changed. 06:43.251 --> 06:46.172 I thought last year during quarterfinals they could. 06:46.912 --> 06:48.973 It wasn't until the games, basically. 06:49.713 --> 06:52.874 You can't do it during any portion of a competition. 06:53.654 --> 06:56.375 So at each stage, it has to be the four. 06:57.416 --> 07:00.757 So if you're doing quarterfinals, it has to be the four that were declared. 07:01.297 --> 07:04.418 If you're doing semifinals, it has to be the four that were declared. 07:04.438 --> 07:05.679 I see. 07:06.659 --> 07:11.961 And if an injury occurs during any of those weekends, they cannot be substituted. 07:11.981 --> 07:13.842 Hmm. 07:16.788 --> 07:21.210 There's actually an injury clause that was added this year. 07:23.591 --> 07:30.573 There is a different scoring protocol when it comes to video submissions for the Open. 07:31.894 --> 07:35.415 Last year, there was good, major penalty, minor penalty. 07:37.316 --> 07:40.657 This year, they've added zero score and invalid score. 07:43.840 --> 07:50.203 So they can deem something a zero score if the athlete fails to complete the workout as required. 07:50.703 --> 07:54.385 A significant or unacceptable number of reps, performed or no reps. 07:54.926 --> 07:58.267 They do not complete the required work or they complete the wrong movements. 07:58.767 --> 08:01.649 CrossFit reserves the right to adjust their score to zero. 08:03.644 --> 08:10.729 Invalid means that there was malicious intent to manipulate the workout or gain an unfair advantage. 08:11.370 --> 08:15.693 That becomes invalid and all your scores are removed from the leaderboard. 08:15.713 --> 08:17.934 Okay. 08:18.595 --> 08:22.657 So if you get a zero score, you get a zero for that workout, but the rest of your workouts are fine. 08:23.578 --> 08:26.340 If you get an invalid, all of your scores are removed. 08:29.362 --> 08:30.083 So those are two... 08:32.540 --> 08:34.100 If you get a zero, you're not moving on. 08:35.341 --> 08:35.801 Correct. 08:36.321 --> 08:43.803 But what I like about it is if you are maliciously trying to alter the workout, all of your scores are removed. 08:44.383 --> 08:46.744 So that doesn't mess up the leaderboard for anybody else. 08:47.624 --> 08:47.864 Yeah. 08:49.464 --> 08:49.664 Yeah. 08:51.665 --> 08:52.565 That's good change. 08:55.606 --> 08:56.766 Keep going through here. 08:56.786 --> 08:59.327 Is there anything... 09:01.795 --> 09:02.436 it's still just there. 09:02.456 --> 09:07.118 It doesn't say anything about the open panel judging like we used to be able to do. 09:07.718 --> 09:08.019 Nothing. 09:08.139 --> 09:08.339 Nope. 09:08.539 --> 09:09.119 That's too bad. 09:10.520 --> 09:13.381 There was some changes to judging, but that was not one of them. 09:14.682 --> 09:15.042 Here it is. 09:17.743 --> 09:20.205 Open judging requirements for quarterfinal qualifiers. 09:21.320 --> 09:27.524 Any athlete who wishes to qualify for quarterfinals is encouraged to use a registered judge. 09:28.025 --> 09:34.189 That is a judge who has passed a 2024 online judges course during the open workouts. 09:37.191 --> 09:37.811 Encouraged. 09:39.052 --> 09:39.392 Yeah. 09:39.512 --> 09:40.613 Not a requirement. 09:41.273 --> 09:41.874 Encouraged. 09:43.135 --> 09:44.055 So why put it in there? 09:44.816 --> 09:45.316 I don't know. 09:45.336 --> 09:47.457 Because it's not a rule. 09:48.338 --> 09:48.558 Right. 09:48.678 --> 09:50.059 This is a rule book. 09:50.439 --> 09:51.100 Yeah, you're not like. 09:52.133 --> 10:16.420 taking away someone's score because they didn't or it would have been really spelled out um quarterfinals registration process this is new um it just talks about the dates that you uh that they'll begin um once the open competition is concluded and the leaderboard is finalized crescent will send out invitations to the quarterfinal event 10:17.060 --> 10:43.363 any eligible athlete wishing to participate must accept their invitation and register for the quarterfinal before the close of the first score submission the i think the big change in this is it's 50 bucks to enter but if you qualify for both individual and age group you only have to pay that fifty dollars one time yay um and so i think that's really the change to that that area 10:45.336 --> 10:48.399 Yeah, and see quarterfinals judging and validation, nothing changed. 10:51.982 --> 10:53.483 The event format for quarterfinals. 10:56.926 --> 11:01.470 There will be two competition windows in which the athlete will need to perform workouts and submit scores. 11:03.131 --> 11:09.917 For teams, the first window is a Wednesday to Saturday, and the second window is Saturday until Monday. 11:09.937 --> 11:10.017 Okay. 11:11.736 --> 11:26.981 Same for the individuals and age groups, and they give the specific dates and times, but the first window is Wednesday, April 17th to Saturday, April 20th, and the second window is April 20th to April 22nd. 11:29.822 --> 11:36.785 The exact number of workouts that will need to be performed within each window will be released once the competition begins. 11:41.995 --> 11:47.099 Scoring format, the only thing I saw is they're using your placement as your score. 11:50.222 --> 11:54.565 So if you finish 100th in that event, you get 100 for your score. 11:55.406 --> 12:00.230 And then if you finish 6th, you get 6 points for that, so your total is 106. 12:00.890 --> 12:01.631 Low score wins. 12:02.492 --> 12:03.332 That's how it's always been. 12:04.153 --> 12:04.794 I thought so too. 12:05.574 --> 12:05.794 It is. 12:05.834 --> 12:07.556 But they spell that out. 12:09.131 --> 12:14.794 But they do add the invalid and the zero score in this as well. 12:15.695 --> 12:16.735 So maybe that's a change. 12:19.677 --> 12:21.238 The video review says new. 12:25.500 --> 12:33.345 The following number of top athletes and teams overall in each region are required to submit a video of all workouts at the time they submit their score. 12:34.931 --> 13:02.846 60 the top 60 women the top 60 men and top 40 teams um age groups it's the top 250 women girls 250 men and boys and i mean you're not even gonna know that you're for sure top 60. just telling you what they're saying i know i just don't like it they should just say 13:03.855 --> 13:31.638 as usual like i just with this is why it should be a public leaderboard and it should say in here if you think you're going to be in the top 200 or have a good score upload your video and it should be up there and it should be public it shouldn't be um okay we want workout two please get it up which it says later in here you have till you have 24 hours to just send us the video that's that's not okay or you get what 13:33.581 --> 13:34.101 He's zero. 13:34.882 --> 13:35.802 He's zero score. 13:37.903 --> 13:40.904 I just think, do them, put a video in with them. 13:41.784 --> 13:45.966 Like you, everyone needs, should have to do the process. 13:46.606 --> 13:53.368 Everyone should be, it's, it's unfair for some people to like, maybe take the risk. 13:54.009 --> 13:57.190 And it, and it sounds like some people got through last year without having any videos. 13:58.470 --> 14:02.852 Like just, so you shouldn't be able to submit a score without a video. 14:04.008 --> 14:08.370 And then if the video isn't of you or of the workout, then you're invalid. 14:10.330 --> 14:18.694 Athletes and teams ranked outside those numbers above may also be requested to submit videos if they qualify to compete at semis. 14:19.494 --> 14:21.895 Failure to provide a video will result in a zero. 14:23.555 --> 14:32.779 So they give you the numbers that need to and then say, but you may also, if you're outside that number and still qualify, be requested to have your videos. 14:33.680 --> 14:40.263 I don't know why, like, like you said, if you're taking 60, why not say 80 people have to submit their videos? 14:42.585 --> 14:43.405 Just, yeah. 14:43.465 --> 14:50.529 I mean, right off the top, literally, if you think you're, if you think you have any shot, you should put your, you should be submitting a video. 14:50.949 --> 14:56.332 You should be subject to taping off, measuring, videoing, announcing. 14:56.752 --> 15:02.935 You should have to, you know, go through the same rigmarole that everyone asked you and submit it that way. 15:06.850 --> 15:11.876 Um, leaderboard finalization, they actually give the dates that the leaderboard should be finalized. 15:12.216 --> 15:14.919 They did this last year, did not meet those deadlines. 15:15.760 --> 15:20.005 So take this with a grain of salt that it's written on. 15:20.825 --> 15:27.333 Um, but it does say the team by April 15th individuals by April 29th age group by May 1st. 15:31.808 --> 15:34.309 The next new thing is semifinals. 15:36.610 --> 15:43.193 There will be seven semifinal competitions, blah, blah, blah. 15:43.233 --> 15:47.955 The programming, the score management, and the invitations for these events will be determined by CrossFit. 15:49.956 --> 15:52.537 The top athletes and teams will advance. 15:55.398 --> 15:58.059 Each region will host, and it kind of gives some vague dates. 16:01.352 --> 16:04.396 The invitation process, you'll be given an invite. 16:04.416 --> 16:08.302 You'll have so much time to accept. 16:10.144 --> 16:13.328 Each semifinal will host up to 40 men and 40 women and 30 teams. 16:20.916 --> 16:25.818 There is some proof that has to be proof of citizens. 16:26.238 --> 16:31.620 You must have proof of citizenship and give that to a CrossFit in order to go to semis. 16:33.160 --> 16:34.361 And I think that's really it. 16:36.242 --> 16:38.102 Here's more on the invitation process. 16:39.463 --> 16:47.225 It gives the specific dates of when they must accept and the fee to move on to semis for, is it, 16:50.866 --> 16:53.688 Is that what age group had to do last year too? 16:56.390 --> 16:56.790 No. 16:57.571 --> 16:59.472 Age group semis is just another $50. 17:00.613 --> 17:04.536 Okay. 17:04.556 --> 17:07.298 There also is team invitations and roster declaration. 17:07.318 --> 17:12.301 You must... Where was that at? 17:12.401 --> 17:13.342 I read something on this. 17:15.824 --> 17:16.384 They have to pay $600 and... 17:21.724 --> 17:28.568 Before the semifinal competition, any two men and two women from the team's roster of six can compete. 17:30.169 --> 17:37.013 Once you're on site, no athletes will be involved in any way other than those four. 17:37.033 --> 17:44.857 And then there's a thing like from semis to the games, you can switch. 17:47.818 --> 17:49.479 That's very interesting. 17:50.440 --> 17:50.580 Yeah. 17:54.216 --> 17:55.318 And I know I read that somewhere. 17:55.338 --> 17:56.780 Hopefully we'll come across it soon. 17:58.282 --> 17:58.782 Scoring. 17:58.802 --> 18:05.150 I think they just added in the zero score and stuff to this. 18:07.063 --> 18:12.367 Appeals, they kind of spell out what you can and cannot appeal, who can do the appealing. 18:12.887 --> 18:17.470 It's the athlete or the team captain only, which has always been the case. 18:19.351 --> 18:26.095 But here are some that you can appeal and some things that you cannot. 18:27.556 --> 18:28.837 They talk about it some more. 18:28.857 --> 18:34.481 No media of any kind is permitted during the appeal process. 18:37.645 --> 18:39.526 That seems a bit far-fetched. 18:43.808 --> 18:45.788 How are you going to win an appeal if you can't use media? 18:47.669 --> 18:50.510 Here's the injury policy that I talked about a little bit earlier. 18:51.711 --> 19:06.057 This is, I think, a significant change that might get glanced over is that if you are injured on the floor, you have to be cleared by a CrossFit medical staff and the head judge to return to competition. 19:07.441 --> 19:09.002 So it's not up to the athlete. 19:09.062 --> 19:16.447 It's going to be up to the head judge and the medical staff from CrossFit whether you can return to competition. 19:18.589 --> 19:19.229 Interesting. 19:19.670 --> 19:24.853 Is there anything in here about minimum work requirement at semis? 19:25.914 --> 19:27.775 I did not see anything about that. 19:29.397 --> 19:31.518 Usually that would be in the workout description. 19:31.538 --> 19:32.519 Yeah, exactly. 19:34.839 --> 19:48.307 And then it talks about the advancement of the five men and women from North America, East and West in Europe, and three in Oceania, two in Asia and South America, and the top one person in Africa. 19:48.707 --> 19:53.650 But they are open to more if once those 12... 19:58.759 --> 20:02.362 Andrew Sten says, I don't think they ever allow outside media for an appeal. 20:03.383 --> 20:10.489 I'm telling you, I've witnessed athletes with a phone showing now whether they can consider that or not. 20:11.830 --> 20:12.910 It, I've seen it. 20:12.930 --> 20:15.252 I feel like that's what they look out. 20:16.493 --> 20:27.502 Do you think they're meaning like no media can like video the appeals process so that people like people aren't understanding how it's, I don't know what they're trying to get out there. 20:30.051 --> 20:35.295 I think you can't use outside media as a video showing that you did or didn't do something. 20:36.876 --> 20:40.338 It's what they always use, isn't it? 20:40.938 --> 20:42.800 I don't think so, honestly. 20:44.161 --> 20:46.362 Andrew says they show it, but I don't think they can accept it. 20:47.763 --> 20:52.626 In my life as a judge, you could not use outside media as your evidence. 20:55.268 --> 20:55.808 Interesting. 20:55.908 --> 20:56.029 Yeah. 20:58.470 --> 21:00.050 Andrew, yeah, that's the rule. 21:05.392 --> 21:16.335 So yeah, teams, North America East, top eight, Europe eight, West seven, Oceania three, South America two, Asia and Africa one. 21:18.396 --> 21:23.717 I know that's how one of the appeals got dealt with. 21:24.038 --> 21:25.398 Not this year at Legends, but 21:26.860 --> 21:29.502 Yeah, true. 21:29.802 --> 21:32.104 I guess it's going to be a totally different rulebook. 21:33.865 --> 21:36.948 Yeah, they talk about cash prizes, but there is no amounts. 21:40.170 --> 21:41.671 Don't have a ton of sponsor either. 21:45.414 --> 21:51.859 There's a dates and times for age group semifinals, and they're going to do two windows for that as well. 21:53.020 --> 21:56.543 May 8th through May 13th with two two-day windows. 22:03.287 --> 22:04.508 Judging and validation. 22:04.528 --> 22:09.070 That you must use a registered judge at semifinals. 22:09.951 --> 22:10.291 Must. 22:11.152 --> 22:12.132 It's not encouraged here. 22:13.353 --> 22:13.873 It's a must. 22:14.494 --> 22:18.156 For each test, in addition, all tests must be recorded on video. 22:21.398 --> 22:21.638 That's good. 22:23.184 --> 22:45.801 um scoring format again just adding the uh invalid and zeros to this uh video review top 60 men and women have to submit uh all their videos and i'm sure it says down below that more may be needed if 22:47.540 --> 22:51.823 Well, this is where it says athletes have 24 hours to provide any requested video. 22:52.144 --> 23:01.371 So to me, that makes it sound like you don't have to submit videos until they tell you, oh, it's workout two we want to review. 23:01.391 --> 23:05.815 Top athletes overall in each age division must submit video of all tests. 23:06.635 --> 23:08.617 Top 60 men, top 60 women. 23:09.598 --> 23:14.482 At the conclusion of the competition, CrossFit will select that one test to review, blah, blah, blah. 23:15.543 --> 23:16.243 And then... 23:18.450 --> 23:23.233 And so you have 24 hours to get them all videos. 23:24.754 --> 23:25.955 Why wouldn't they already have been in there? 23:27.796 --> 23:28.076 I don't know. 23:28.157 --> 23:28.817 I'm just telling you. 23:30.238 --> 23:31.539 I just don't understand. 23:33.380 --> 23:36.222 So up here it's saying you have to on this part. 23:37.323 --> 23:39.364 And then down here it's saying you have 24 hours to do it. 23:39.984 --> 23:41.045 Yeah, that's what I'm confused about. 23:41.585 --> 23:43.767 So you don't actually have to submit a video when you submit your scores? 23:44.628 --> 23:45.008 Yes, you do. 23:45.968 --> 23:47.049 Because up here it says you have to. 23:48.050 --> 23:48.230 Okay. 23:50.441 --> 23:52.662 but you have 24 hours for that video to get to them. 23:59.987 --> 24:05.131 I mean, window one closes two days. 24:05.171 --> 24:06.011 Like that doesn't even make sense. 24:10.794 --> 24:14.577 Well, you do, you do test one and two, right? 24:14.737 --> 24:17.019 You submit those videos and they have to be there within 24 hours. 24:19.363 --> 24:23.568 Then you do test three, four, and five, and then those have 24 hours to be there. 24:24.088 --> 24:25.009 I think is what they mean. 24:25.029 --> 24:31.256 Yeah, that makes sense. 24:31.356 --> 24:33.458 Or as I understand, it's just a copy and paste error. 24:34.059 --> 24:34.259 Yeah. 24:34.539 --> 24:34.740 Yeah. 24:35.120 --> 24:40.846 I mean, just don't like, don't allow the submission to go through without a video linked period. 24:40.906 --> 24:41.567 And then it's there. 24:45.854 --> 24:47.535 Uh, finalization and advancement. 24:47.555 --> 24:51.478 They just talk about how many from each division get to go forward. 24:51.498 --> 24:55.860 Uh, and that will be determined no later than May 28th. 24:58.542 --> 24:58.762 Okay. 24:58.802 --> 25:00.844 Then we get to the games and it culminates. 25:02.024 --> 25:07.408 Um, and it just adds that masters and teen and adaptive are their own divisions. 25:11.437 --> 25:12.797 So we just keep moving on. 25:13.918 --> 25:15.518 Games registration for teams. 25:16.198 --> 25:17.859 And this is where I think it was. 25:18.539 --> 25:31.122 It talks about that you have to pay 600 bucks, but before the start of the competition, any athletes from the team's competition roster designated during quarterfinals may register on site. 25:31.202 --> 25:40.144 Teams will designate the two men, two women that will compete as long as the athletes registering on site at the games are part of the team's competition roster. 25:41.394 --> 25:47.138 the two men and two women who compete may be different than the two men and women who competed at semis. 25:51.981 --> 25:55.243 I mean, I guess, isn't that what they were saying? 25:55.263 --> 26:00.527 They could have done, like they could have used Catrin two days, two years ago, but they were like, nah, we'll go. 26:00.607 --> 26:02.328 So I guess it's, that's been the case. 26:06.091 --> 26:08.633 I don't know if it's ever been verified like that before though. 26:08.873 --> 26:09.113 Yeah. 26:10.474 --> 26:10.594 Um, 26:13.345 --> 26:19.387 More registration of age group athletes just talks about it's $300 to go to the games as an age group athlete. 26:21.448 --> 26:28.170 Um, and their backfill process, uh, all of that. 26:29.290 --> 26:31.251 Are they going to do have a backfill process? 26:32.091 --> 26:41.154 They do, but in the event of backfill violation, uh, well for drug policy, they don't go any further than three qualifying spots. 26:43.339 --> 26:47.322 CrossFit will not backfill spots for athletes who do not officially decline their invitation. 26:48.763 --> 26:52.025 So if someone doesn't decline and just doesn't show up, they're not going to backfill. 26:58.050 --> 27:07.797 That doesn't make sense because if you... Well, I guess that's... So it's going to be... It's not as... 27:13.134 --> 27:14.495 Yeah, it doesn't matter so much. 27:15.016 --> 27:17.058 It's not as detrimental when you only had 10. 27:22.242 --> 27:23.584 Same, same, same. 27:24.605 --> 27:31.951 Games appeals, they just go through the process here again and talk about who can and can't, what you can appeal, what you can't. 27:36.836 --> 27:37.817 More stuff on that. 27:44.369 --> 27:49.993 So Andrew says if you don't accept the invite, then they won't take the next person on list. 27:50.013 --> 27:51.053 Yeah, that doesn't make sense to me. 27:51.073 --> 27:52.934 Is that what they're saying? 27:52.974 --> 27:54.035 There is no backfill? 27:55.436 --> 27:56.497 There are backfills. 27:57.277 --> 28:03.981 But if a person doesn't decline and just doesn't show up, then they're not going to backfill that. 28:04.321 --> 28:05.342 That wouldn't happen. 28:06.803 --> 28:09.184 This is the problem with this statement. 28:09.645 --> 28:13.447 You have two weeks to accept, to pay your money. 28:15.191 --> 28:19.494 So at two weeks, they should know we have 28 people who have paid. 28:20.535 --> 28:21.735 This is where it comes into play. 28:22.536 --> 28:28.540 I'm trying to show, I accept, I pay my money and then I can't come. 28:29.401 --> 28:43.030 So that I, I understand that a little bit, but like the officially decline, I don't feel like they're, they're laying that out. 28:43.070 --> 28:44.471 They're very clear in that. 28:44.591 --> 28:44.751 Like, 28:46.178 --> 29:13.139 just i could just not officially decline like i could you can say accept or decline in your email but you could not not accept and that's what andrew is saying if you don't accept the invite they won't back though that's what he's saying so if i don't click accept and i don't pay there's an unfilled spot china paid so that's a little different scenario 29:17.258 --> 29:21.943 to arriving on site age group athletes will receive an email containing instructions on how to register. 29:22.403 --> 29:23.104 Pay $300. 29:24.285 --> 29:32.914 If an athlete declines their invitation to compete at the games, their spot will be backfilled to the next eligible athlete from semis in their respective age division. 29:34.659 --> 29:46.384 Should an athlete violate CrossFit's drug policy prior to arriving at the CrossFit Games, CrossFit may award the position to the next eligible athlete from their respective age division, depending on the timing of the failed test. 29:47.645 --> 29:57.770 In the event of a backfill or violation of the drug policy, no more than three athletes outside the qualifying position in any division will be eligible for backfill positions. 29:58.712 --> 30:04.775 CrossFit will not backfill spots for athletes who do not officially decline their invitation. 30:08.037 --> 30:16.982 If an age group athlete qualifies in both age group division and as an individual or on a team, they may compete in both finals. 30:24.126 --> 30:28.329 So if someone doesn't answer the email, they're not backfilling, which seems dumb too. 30:29.269 --> 30:32.431 Yeah. 30:33.572 --> 30:38.436 So Carolyn jumped on late and said, I'm just joining now. 30:38.836 --> 30:41.037 Did you guys talk about the video review process? 30:42.038 --> 30:43.239 We glanced over it. 30:43.579 --> 30:45.881 Did you see something there that we didn't see Carolyn? 30:51.564 --> 31:01.714 We talked about how many people have to submit all their videos and that CrossFit may request more beyond that number, but that's about all we said about that. 31:04.597 --> 31:06.118 And then are going to pick one to review. 31:06.919 --> 31:07.279 Correct. 31:09.682 --> 31:16.268 And then I guess maybe she's also talking about the, now there's the invalid and the zero score review process. 31:18.536 --> 31:22.258 I think she's concerned that only one of the tests are getting reviewed. 31:22.278 --> 31:25.721 I honestly feel like that's nothing new. 31:30.164 --> 31:31.544 Yeah, they did spell it out. 31:31.584 --> 31:32.525 I think I agree with you. 31:33.406 --> 31:36.508 Yeah. 31:38.329 --> 31:38.749 Okay. 31:40.090 --> 31:41.071 So we're going past appeal. 31:41.131 --> 31:44.053 Here's the injury where, again, we talked about that. 31:45.339 --> 31:49.863 They talk about the attire that you have to wear their official competition apparel. 31:51.685 --> 31:59.032 I did notice that athletes may only wear the apparel issued to them at registration in the following categories. 32:00.113 --> 32:03.596 Competition jerseys, tops, sports bras, bottoms, swimsuits. 32:03.676 --> 32:03.896 Okay. 32:05.738 --> 32:08.080 So I don't think that's anything new. 32:13.035 --> 32:14.475 Tristan, you've missed 32 minutes. 32:14.495 --> 32:15.315 You've missed a lot. 32:17.036 --> 32:22.277 The whole rule book. 32:25.358 --> 32:27.778 So yeah, that's always been the case. 32:33.899 --> 32:39.481 Was the one video review for quarterfinals, individual quarterfinals? 32:39.921 --> 32:40.681 Is that where we saw that? 32:41.596 --> 32:45.699 Well, if we saw it for sure in semis, and I do believe it's quarters as well. 32:47.199 --> 32:53.023 Yeah. 32:54.384 --> 32:59.307 So the equipment, Carolyn, is saying that we're not there yet. 32:59.987 --> 33:00.308 Are we? 33:01.548 --> 33:02.509 No, I don't think you've got that. 33:03.510 --> 33:06.932 No, I haven't got to that part yet. 33:08.052 --> 33:10.434 Then there's this thing about athlete entourage. 33:10.454 --> 33:10.594 Yeah. 33:11.684 --> 33:12.184 that's new. 33:13.265 --> 33:21.653 Information regarding an athlete or team's entourage will be provided in the athlete information pack sent via email prior to onsite registration. 33:23.314 --> 33:26.917 So they're going to specifically say something about the entourage. 33:26.937 --> 33:30.681 Okay. 33:39.312 --> 33:42.274 There's a whole adaptive athlete section now. 33:45.756 --> 33:46.776 Here's the equipment. 33:55.041 --> 33:56.822 Subject to CrossFit's prior approval. 33:56.902 --> 34:02.966 Chalk, weight belts, non-tacky gloves, gymnastics wraps, hand tape, neoprene joint sleeves, and common fitness wear. 34:03.769 --> 34:05.250 may be allowed during competition. 34:06.030 --> 34:12.554 In general, support gear that improves the safety and or comfort but does not confer advantage is allowed. 34:13.274 --> 34:20.818 Should the test call for a pull-up bar, athletes may wrap tape around the pull-up bar, blah, blah, blah, in hand. 34:20.978 --> 34:22.339 Or whatnot, both probably. 34:24.960 --> 34:28.022 But they may not tape the bar and wear hand protection. 34:28.042 --> 34:28.182 Yeah. 34:30.186 --> 34:53.045 um athletes may not use protective gear in a manner that provides additional grip assistance or weight support eg wrapping the grip completely around the pull-up bar during pull-ups common supported tires not allowed includes but is not limited to knee or elbow wraps gymnastics dow grips and tacky non-chalk substances used to enhance grips 34:54.642 --> 35:01.484 Gymnastics scripts may only be used during movements where the athlete is hanging from a pull-up bar or gymnastics rings. 35:06.865 --> 35:11.087 Unless otherwise stated, athletes may not receive assistance moving or placing equipment. 35:11.627 --> 35:19.769 Athletes who receive outside assistance to manage or place equipment during a workout may face penalty or disqualification. 35:25.888 --> 35:31.911 And then if you're leaving the floor, you cannot get water, tape, chalk, gloves, et cetera, from spectators or coaches. 35:33.832 --> 35:34.352 Yeah. 35:34.892 --> 35:35.453 The games. 35:37.353 --> 35:37.614 Yeah. 35:37.714 --> 35:40.395 I'm, I'm assuming any live competition. 35:40.415 --> 35:45.497 Okay. 35:46.758 --> 35:46.878 Yeah. 35:46.938 --> 35:50.600 I think Carolyn, that's, I think they're saying you can't wrap it around. 35:51.854 --> 35:59.980 But now they're just, so you can flip it over, but you can't like completely, which I don't think many people actually do. 36:00.000 --> 36:00.741 Nobody's going to do that. 36:00.841 --> 36:03.983 I think that would be so time consuming to do. 36:05.745 --> 36:07.966 But they do spell out like no grips for deadlifts now. 36:10.808 --> 36:11.189 Okay. 36:13.510 --> 36:13.731 Yeah. 36:15.312 --> 36:15.432 So. 36:17.929 --> 36:30.099 Uh, inspection of personal attire, uh, live competition, specific attire, uh, athletes must wear footwear, no slippers, socks, or open toed shoes. 36:32.181 --> 36:35.964 Uh, only exception may be made for swim tests or other specific tests. 36:36.664 --> 36:40.587 No part of the shoes underside or sole shall be higher than two inches. 36:40.607 --> 36:44.771 Uh, shoes cannot be altered from their original manufactured state. 36:47.239 --> 36:53.202 Athletes may only bring one pair of shoes onto the competition floor unless otherwise stated. 36:56.984 --> 36:59.125 Belts can only be five inches. 37:01.046 --> 37:04.908 And the main body of the belt shall be made of non-stretch materials. 37:07.229 --> 37:09.590 They go into knee sleeves. 37:09.610 --> 37:10.851 They go into wrist wraps. 37:12.672 --> 37:13.592 They go into hand protection. 37:13.612 --> 37:14.533 None of those breast belts this year. 37:16.960 --> 37:18.041 None of the wide belts, you mean? 37:18.461 --> 37:19.261 Is that what you said? 37:19.701 --> 37:20.422 The breath belts. 37:22.042 --> 37:22.303 Oh. 37:22.603 --> 37:24.724 Yeah, those wider, stretchy ones. 37:27.345 --> 37:29.526 They go into adhesives and lubricants. 37:31.527 --> 37:32.107 Swimwear. 37:35.609 --> 37:37.070 Don't you have to wear the swimsuit they give you? 37:37.110 --> 37:38.330 So why would that matter? 37:42.332 --> 37:43.133 Supportive suits. 37:44.133 --> 37:45.254 Electronic devices. 37:46.289 --> 37:48.050 No music players and headphones. 37:48.871 --> 37:53.393 Devices such as mobile phones, tablets, or other portable media on the competition floor. 37:54.454 --> 37:56.695 Watches and heart rate monitors are permitted. 38:02.479 --> 38:10.864 And I think that's pretty much the end of the new stuff. 38:14.386 --> 38:14.666 Thoughts? 38:19.524 --> 38:20.624 It's all the same to me. 38:21.465 --> 38:22.445 I don't think there's really any changes. 38:22.465 --> 38:23.265 We've got a coach in the chat. 38:23.305 --> 38:25.446 We've got a games athlete in the chat. 38:25.486 --> 38:28.246 We've got a future games athlete on the show. 38:32.487 --> 38:43.810 Anything that you think they missed other than the dates for the adaptive age group or Masters and Teens CrossFit Games? 38:43.830 --> 38:43.910 Yeah. 38:49.597 --> 38:49.957 No. 38:51.898 --> 38:55.719 Yeah, the small changes on the penalties, I think that's good. 38:55.739 --> 39:01.862 I don't know. 39:02.842 --> 39:10.085 I wish they'd be more clear about the video submission in the review process, but they're never going to be open about that. 39:11.025 --> 39:13.606 Whoever they want to get through is going to get through, so it is what it is. 39:14.935 --> 39:20.197 So I'm a big proponent of the open it up to the public, the people who took the judges course. 39:21.617 --> 39:27.200 Because when you do that, back in the day, you had a special portal that you could go and they would just assign you videos. 39:27.240 --> 39:28.000 You didn't get to pick. 39:28.560 --> 39:30.621 They would just assign you videos and you would review them. 39:31.841 --> 39:34.722 And usually like it was far away from wherever you live. 39:34.762 --> 39:39.164 So you weren't impacting like a semifinal in your area. 39:40.424 --> 39:41.125 Interesting. 39:41.645 --> 39:41.825 Right. 39:42.814 --> 39:56.965 And I think that things like that would help mitigate our issues with the hillers and the bat signals and all of that if you had people looking at all this stuff ahead of time. 39:57.786 --> 40:05.352 And CrossFit taking that data and then making decisions, because those people aren't making final decisions. 40:05.712 --> 40:07.634 They're just giving you data on what they see. 40:08.534 --> 40:11.677 Then you as CrossFit can make decisions after that. 40:12.625 --> 40:19.130 Yeah, if 10 videos get 60% flagged, go review it. 40:19.610 --> 40:20.211 Something's up. 40:20.591 --> 40:21.231 Make the decision. 40:21.251 --> 40:27.416 I don't know if you saw your coach. 40:28.177 --> 40:28.557 I did. 40:31.699 --> 40:32.720 Unless he's talking about me. 40:32.740 --> 40:36.963 Because, man, I'm really on the upswing. 40:36.983 --> 40:39.305 65 plus, here we come. 40:41.647 --> 40:44.089 maybe there'll be a 70 by then you're in for sure. 40:44.109 --> 40:45.210 Yeah. 40:48.012 --> 40:48.372 All right. 40:48.412 --> 40:49.413 So that's the rule book. 40:51.695 --> 40:53.136 Uh, anything you liked that they added? 40:57.099 --> 41:10.750 No, I mean, I guess a little more clarification on like making it clear if they're going to hold to it, like the grip situation, like don't, 41:11.397 --> 41:40.443 grip don't use the grips on the deadlift um things like that that's probably good additions what i do like is people that could qualify for both individual and age group don't have to double pay i love that and it's on the same weekend you're not gonna have to do the same workouts two weekends in a row you get to do them all at once um i think that is a great change um 41:43.439 --> 41:47.160 But there's still so much ambiguity in this rulebook. 41:47.821 --> 41:49.221 We don't know title sponsor. 41:49.261 --> 41:51.582 We don't know the prize purse for the games. 41:52.042 --> 41:55.964 We don't know the prize purse for age groups. 41:57.205 --> 41:58.905 We don't know that for semis. 41:59.746 --> 42:01.346 We don't know anything at this point. 42:02.006 --> 42:05.208 The only thing we know is that if you win an open event, you can win some money. 42:05.228 --> 42:05.208 $2,024. 42:05.248 --> 42:06.028 So... 42:15.103 --> 42:30.288 So, yeah, I think that, that there's still more to come and, and I just, I wish the movement standard thing would come with a rule book. 42:32.428 --> 42:32.809 I agree. 42:33.869 --> 42:34.349 Yeah. 42:35.589 --> 42:40.671 There are basic movements that could be described that are universal for the season. 42:45.151 --> 42:45.311 Yeah. 42:45.591 --> 42:45.751 Yeah. 42:51.654 --> 42:51.854 Yeah. 42:52.475 --> 42:55.196 And so Andrew says, probably don't have a deal done with the main sponsor yet. 42:56.036 --> 42:58.578 So hard to put the money, put out the prize money. 43:00.659 --> 43:04.320 Caroline echoes and prize money for top in the open, but nothing in semis. 43:06.822 --> 43:09.663 So that's concerning quite honestly. 43:11.464 --> 43:11.684 Yeah. 43:12.584 --> 43:13.725 If you still don't have, 43:16.570 --> 43:18.030 Man, I don't know. 43:20.311 --> 43:21.452 They've got to have it narrowed down. 43:21.572 --> 43:35.516 Maybe they're just trying to work out the final numbers from that company, but holy smokes. 43:35.576 --> 43:38.817 Yeah, I know they have ideas of what's happening. 43:39.317 --> 43:43.459 I just don't think they have the pen to the paper to make it official. 43:45.230 --> 43:48.273 And this is where I'll give them some benefit of the doubt. 43:48.853 --> 43:49.454 That's tough. 43:49.794 --> 43:59.142 You have a demanding public that's asking for all this stuff, but you don't know all the stuff yet because you don't have official signed contracts. 44:01.583 --> 44:09.069 And they're trying their best to make money, right, at this thing and to let the game stand on their own. 44:09.990 --> 44:12.032 So you're trying to negotiate the best deal you can, 44:13.393 --> 44:14.914 to have the best product at the end. 44:16.975 --> 44:26.162 But I know like talking to Joe and Bob, like that finding that location, they may have it, but the deal was not signed when I talked to them. 44:29.464 --> 44:30.505 The location for the games. 44:31.845 --> 44:32.186 Correct. 44:34.968 --> 44:35.348 Okay. 44:38.250 --> 44:39.791 They were still negotiating that deal. 44:45.259 --> 45:08.091 so if that's happening with the age groups where what other aspects is that happening with yeah all right do we know yet if the individuals got paid from the games yet they did that's good 45:09.717 --> 45:17.303 Um, I heard Matt Torres say on the Savan podcast that the athletes just got paid like a couple of days before he was on. 45:18.304 --> 45:21.206 Oh, that's good. 45:22.847 --> 45:25.430 So there is that. 45:27.071 --> 45:27.471 All right. 45:30.153 --> 45:38.660 So do you want to go on to Don fall on coffee pods and wads and the notes that I took from what I learned from Don today? 45:44.226 --> 45:53.611 I think the funniest thing he said and probably the most accurate was, there have been moments where I said, what the F have I gotten into? 45:55.752 --> 45:56.712 But he has no regrets. 46:00.995 --> 46:06.557 Because it is a different animal than anything he's ever done before. 46:07.178 --> 46:07.378 Yeah, yeah. 46:11.536 --> 46:13.157 I did see that, Andrew, as well. 46:14.218 --> 46:18.941 I have that in my notes that the chief marketing officer is no longer there. 46:20.222 --> 46:22.263 I did see that. 46:22.343 --> 46:23.504 So I'm just going to run through my notes. 46:24.024 --> 46:27.066 If you have questions, this is what I've learned. 46:28.327 --> 46:33.511 Looking for something new to bring into our community when they're hiring people from the outside. 46:35.552 --> 46:36.413 Yes, things have been 46:38.706 --> 46:46.429 not taking away any of the past of what CrossFit has done, but they need to hear some fresh ideas and fresh thoughts. 46:49.790 --> 46:51.891 They wound down the DEI council. 46:51.931 --> 46:52.991 It no longer exists. 46:55.853 --> 47:02.675 They didn't know about the video from Jay DeCoon's saying CrossFit was dangerous until the public did. 47:08.738 --> 47:11.699 Dawn admitted that they did a poor job communicating Jace higher. 47:13.280 --> 47:15.001 Yeah. 47:16.662 --> 47:30.289 And then they put out that survey right after that, that talked about franchising and that he also took the, Dawn took the blame on the survey that talked about franchising and said that that was, that was a poor way of doing things. 47:31.070 --> 47:33.051 And they were trying to do a blind study of, 47:35.185 --> 47:44.933 but he knew that the community was so small that it would come out before the end of the survey and that they would admit that it was them once it came out. 47:49.757 --> 47:49.857 Um, 47:52.199 --> 47:57.783 that Jada Coons has made it 30 days in a very hostile environment says a lot about him. 47:58.203 --> 47:59.124 That was said by Peter. 48:00.285 --> 48:15.736 Um, and that it shows how, how tough the guy is that he's been able to withstand the storm and shows a lot about who that person is that I have that Josh had left the company, the chief marketing officer. 48:18.017 --> 48:18.998 They talk about media, uh, 48:21.204 --> 48:26.427 Now there's a lot of voices that are out there that can be better for the community. 48:27.807 --> 48:32.850 But even though there are strong voices in the community, CrossFit has a responsibility to be better communicators. 48:33.930 --> 48:34.711 Don did say that. 48:37.052 --> 48:40.534 There should be a level of accountability from our community. 48:41.294 --> 48:43.895 He thinks that some people take 48:46.474 --> 48:56.259 He liked the fact that they're being held accountable by the media in the space, but he believes that at some points people take that to a toxic level. 49:01.961 --> 49:05.603 Just echoing what he said. 49:05.703 --> 49:07.804 He said, be critical and still come with it. 49:08.444 --> 49:12.166 Come at it with good tone and some inclusivity. 49:16.570 --> 49:22.554 Peter then followed up with the one communication that is consistent coming out of CrossFit is Dave's week in review. 49:23.774 --> 49:26.236 And he asked if Don was okay with that. 49:26.616 --> 49:32.800 Don said he trusts Dave to give a good message and to be transparent and honest. 49:33.440 --> 49:36.642 And so he's good with it, even though he doesn't listen to it every week. 49:42.846 --> 49:44.507 They talked about Greg's non-compete. 49:48.162 --> 49:53.571 And Dawn said, we have to do what's best for the community and not worry about that non-compete. 49:55.574 --> 49:57.296 Well, yeah, I agree with that. 49:57.397 --> 49:59.800 I mean, if you're doing things right, it shouldn't be an issue. 50:00.682 --> 50:00.842 Right. 50:05.760 --> 50:14.323 And someone asked a question about does Berkshire, the investment company, make money during this process? 50:14.763 --> 50:19.445 He said, no, the way it works is they will not make a cent until they sell CrossFit. 50:19.465 --> 50:20.526 Right. 50:20.706 --> 50:32.710 But they're investing so that the team they put together can grow the community and grow the business so that they can sell it and make a profit. 50:41.775 --> 50:42.375 So there's that. 50:48.296 --> 50:52.677 He also talked about, they talked about the 30 million CrossFitters by 2030. 50:55.578 --> 51:04.800 And that we're really good at communicating inside our walls of our community and getting people fired up about it. 51:05.240 --> 51:10.221 But when we go outside the walls, we're not so good communicating the message. 51:11.690 --> 51:18.153 And we need to do better with the people not following us on social already. 51:19.573 --> 51:21.914 Like we've got to find a way to reach those people. 51:23.435 --> 51:34.160 And he said, part of it is preaching to the base that we already have because a passionate base will spread the word of mouth out to those people who aren't there. 51:35.564 --> 51:56.364 our walls but they also need to take some other approaches to get out there themselves um they need to do better with seo which is search engine optimization um and he said that they need to win more during when people are searching for broad fitness 51:58.952 --> 52:00.392 which makes complete sense to me. 52:00.833 --> 52:09.215 As someone who has just dived into search engine optimization and trying to figure that out in what we do, it is a very complicated process. 52:11.475 --> 52:15.776 And so I do get what they're trying to do, but it's not going to be an overnight thing. 52:16.236 --> 52:22.818 It's something that has to build over time so that you start climbing up those search engine vehicles. 52:24.978 --> 52:27.219 I still don't... 52:28.312 --> 52:35.414 I'll be very curious to see the route they take with media coverage of masters and teens. 52:36.174 --> 52:44.337 Cause I feel like that is the audience that is going to grow and bring more people in. 52:44.837 --> 52:55.540 Like that's the kind of, like when you see a 60 year old doing a pull up, it's like, it makes you think, is that something I like, 52:56.240 --> 53:08.643 can aspire to, or if you're 50, like, you know, like something you can get into rather than seeing Tia do a beltless 400 pound deadlift. 53:08.683 --> 53:10.643 Like that's completely different. 53:10.663 --> 53:13.023 Although, I mean, she's a good one to look at because she just had the baby. 53:13.063 --> 53:21.765 That's like, maybe not the best example, but I at 53, 54 years old, jump up on a pull-up bar and did a pull-up. 53:22.365 --> 53:23.086 You'd be shocked. 53:24.326 --> 53:24.506 Yeah. 53:25.186 --> 53:25.366 Right. 53:26.886 --> 53:30.168 Like, so I, I totally get what you're saying. 53:31.809 --> 53:39.734 I, I just, I can't believe they, their social media didn't share legends like in any aspect. 53:40.494 --> 53:40.654 Yeah. 53:40.714 --> 53:47.038 I think that's a whole nother story that thank you. 53:47.078 --> 53:47.698 Aaliyah Miller. 53:48.739 --> 53:48.919 Yeah. 53:49.884 --> 53:58.847 Like she said, everything that I felt, you know, and I, and I, I asked, well, it was Justin Berg at the time in Orlando. 53:59.927 --> 54:03.048 Why can't we be better partners and you share some of our content? 54:03.668 --> 54:03.928 Yes. 54:07.129 --> 54:07.289 Yeah. 54:07.369 --> 54:09.370 And we didn't, we didn't get a real great answer then. 54:11.067 --> 54:12.128 I mean, I get it. 54:12.448 --> 54:28.660 Putting on the media stuff can be expensive, but if you have somebody at these events, and even at Legends, they said they couldn't afford, but share the heck out of the clips that are out there of the Masters doing amazing things. 54:29.361 --> 54:30.822 That's going to get into the general public. 54:33.744 --> 54:34.985 It was a sanctioned event. 54:37.627 --> 54:37.967 I don't know. 54:38.107 --> 54:38.788 I don't understand it. 54:43.271 --> 54:49.757 So then to finish up the Don thing, there's a couple more. 54:51.118 --> 54:56.983 He talked about the media and that they need to test the content they put out to see what is working. 54:58.184 --> 55:01.306 We have a slant toward what has been done in the past. 55:01.326 --> 55:04.809 I agree. 55:05.209 --> 55:10.194 But you have all these third-party people putting out stuff all the time. 55:11.773 --> 55:13.654 You don't need to test it yourself. 55:14.214 --> 55:15.595 Go look at what's working. 55:22.858 --> 55:32.743 They need someone like us that are so geeky about the sport that we're on socials all the time and are sharing the cool stuff. 55:33.944 --> 55:36.145 It's not a complicated thought process here. 55:38.201 --> 55:44.404 Um, this was an interesting question that I thought Peter gave, got to give him huge kudos for this. 55:44.884 --> 55:48.966 If the games don't stand on their own two feet, do you press forward? 55:51.967 --> 56:01.791 And Don's answer to that was what is the impact on the affiliates and what overall impact does that have? 56:04.022 --> 56:10.884 And that he thinks, I think at the end of the day, he believes that the sport of CrossFit does help affiliates. 56:12.924 --> 56:13.144 Yes. 56:13.424 --> 56:13.624 Yes. 56:14.505 --> 56:15.005 I would agree. 56:16.805 --> 56:22.827 But I think, and this is my last thing I'll say about this whole thing is, well, one more thing. 56:23.147 --> 56:25.667 They did talk about litigation because that's come up a lot. 56:26.168 --> 56:29.789 And he said they spend millions of dollars every year on litigation. 56:31.369 --> 56:31.549 Now, 56:33.809 --> 56:45.299 I think what Peter was asking was about protecting the brand from these licensures and stuff like that coming through government agencies. 56:45.679 --> 56:51.524 And he was more about people using the CrossFit name illegally. 56:51.564 --> 56:53.526 And then sending cease and desist. 56:53.967 --> 56:56.529 That's not what we care about you spending money on. 56:57.284 --> 56:59.245 So I don't think we got to the heart of that thing. 56:59.746 --> 57:13.074 But the last thing I will say is I think the thing that Don is most frustrated over is the lack of data that was kept on what has been happening in CrossFit for the past 15 years. 57:15.696 --> 57:20.379 There's been all this tremendous growth, and at the beginning of that growth, everything was great. 57:20.979 --> 57:25.982 You didn't need to track everything because new affiliates were coming in left and right every day. 57:27.900 --> 57:29.401 You're at the beginning of a growth curve. 57:32.482 --> 57:39.265 Now we're at that point where that growth curve is leveling off, maybe even dipping, and you need to know why. 57:41.907 --> 57:48.530 And there's no data to tell you why because it was never kept. 57:48.910 --> 57:53.952 They can't tell you how many CrossFitters there are because they don't know how many are in the affiliates. 57:55.762 --> 57:58.603 They just know there's X number of affiliates. 57:59.524 --> 58:08.188 And so everything's a guesses like, well, we guess there's about 120 in each one or 110 or whatever number he threw out. 58:10.069 --> 58:20.775 And so I think, I think that what's happened is Eric Rosa came in and was like, data, data, data, got a data, data, got to collect it here. 58:20.815 --> 58:21.515 Got to collect it there. 58:23.154 --> 58:26.176 and he may have swung the pendulum like way too far to the data side. 58:27.057 --> 58:31.040 Now Dawn just wants some data to make decisions and there just is none. 58:31.060 --> 58:31.140 Yeah. 58:35.323 --> 58:51.516 And that I got that as an overarching aspect of the conversation that he is frustrated that they, they're struggling to make decisions because they don't have enough data to make them. 58:59.864 --> 59:00.845 Yeah, I don't know. 59:00.965 --> 59:02.986 That's, that's a tough one. 59:10.392 --> 59:25.243 I would think through the, the raising the affiliate dues in a way, like makes me question whether 59:26.897 --> 59:39.409 I don't feel like you're going to get new affiliates or, or some affiliates stay on in some of the smaller, more rural communities, because that's just not like, that's not their environment. 59:39.569 --> 59:44.133 And you're in, then you're like stripping away the opportunity for growth in those areas. 59:45.134 --> 59:46.875 And I don't, I don't know the solution to that. 59:46.895 --> 59:49.298 Cause you can't have this like sliding scale. 59:49.318 --> 59:50.859 You can't ask number of members. 59:50.879 --> 59:52.621 You can't, you can't figure out rent. 59:54.383 --> 59:57.085 it would be a disaster and it would promote line. 59:57.165 --> 01:00:03.211 But I don't know that raising dues, I don't know, maybe it'll work for them. 01:00:03.271 --> 01:00:08.475 Like it sounds like requiring, you know, like they've done enough research that they're probably going to make money out of this. 01:00:08.515 --> 01:00:13.059 And maybe they sell within a year or two and they've gotten all their L2s and a bunch more certs. 01:00:13.259 --> 01:00:17.523 And even if you lose 20%, you make you more in the long run. 01:00:18.264 --> 01:00:18.344 Um, 01:00:19.236 --> 01:00:25.098 To me, long-term doesn't seem like it's going to actually be the best for the CrossFit community. 01:00:25.178 --> 01:00:31.260 I just think it's going to help their bottom line for two years and then they get out. 01:00:31.360 --> 01:00:43.044 I think affiliate fees should have been raised earlier where it could have been a more incremental step up. 01:00:45.885 --> 01:00:46.865 When eggs go up, 01:00:48.411 --> 01:01:17.157 they go up 10 cents and then another 10 cents and then another 10 cents you don't really notice it on the first 10 cents right and then then you look around like holy i'm paying four dollars a dozen for eggs but you still pay it because you're a crossfitter and you got to eat eggs in the morning yeah i don't know if i agree with that like those are again that's going to be like some of the people that are going to 01:01:17.745 --> 01:01:41.310 go get chickens and start to like have their own homestead farm because they figured out a way to make it work and I feel like that's what they're going to do push people away and just to end up having there are some communities like my gym's probably never going to grow over like 80 people and I would probably never be able to support a higher affiliate dues and that's 01:01:42.205 --> 01:01:43.266 just my community. 01:01:43.326 --> 01:01:46.347 I know there's other people that are in that situation. 01:01:46.908 --> 01:01:55.132 And then you're going to have the gyms that are served 200 plus members and can afford whatever dues or whatever fees you make it. 01:01:55.152 --> 01:02:01.956 I don't think you, I don't think the best thing for CrossFit is to limit those. 01:02:01.976 --> 01:02:05.518 I know this has been talked about a lot. 01:02:05.558 --> 01:02:10.421 Like people say like the passion project and the mom and pop gyms don't really have the 01:02:11.661 --> 01:02:11.901 Yeah. 01:02:12.081 --> 01:02:12.241 Right. 01:02:12.261 --> 01:02:13.102 At least you want chickens. 01:02:13.122 --> 01:02:16.664 Like, doesn't that make more sense for you to adapt and figure out a way to do it yourself? 01:02:17.004 --> 01:02:29.571 Does CrossFit want that to figure out how to do it on my own and keep my 20, 30 members and just, I mean, we might still be doing CrossFit, but it doesn't help CrossFit. 01:02:36.335 --> 01:02:41.018 It doesn't help them monetarily, but if you're doing it right, 01:02:43.058 --> 01:02:43.999 Still probably helping them. 01:02:47.640 --> 01:02:48.041 I guess. 01:02:49.081 --> 01:02:51.422 I think that's what's going to happen in a lot of small communities. 01:02:53.423 --> 01:02:58.766 I just, I think it's, it's naive to think that you could never raise a fee. 01:02:59.607 --> 01:03:01.808 It's one of the cheapest things to run a business. 01:03:04.793 --> 01:03:13.476 And I know that the gym owners are not rich and that they're working long hours and that they do ridiculous things for their clients. 01:03:13.937 --> 01:03:18.418 And, but at the end of the day, CrossFit is a business. 01:03:20.339 --> 01:03:20.599 Yeah. 01:03:20.639 --> 01:03:26.722 But to your point, the reason like things were so booming is because of commercial real estate. 01:03:26.762 --> 01:03:28.502 Like that's why CrossFit grew and, 01:03:31.337 --> 01:03:36.239 I mean, if he's not looking at it, as the business, they're not looking at it in that aspect. 01:03:38.500 --> 01:03:38.800 I don't know. 01:03:38.920 --> 01:03:42.942 Like, I feel like you have to realize what's happening in the communities. 01:03:43.262 --> 01:03:46.023 Like, rents are going up. 01:03:46.623 --> 01:03:49.885 And then you want to also raise, like, everything's going up. 01:03:50.125 --> 01:03:52.086 And I get, like, you think the dudes should too. 01:03:52.146 --> 01:04:00.309 But we can only, like, pass all of this on to our members for so long before we don't have hundreds of members. 01:04:01.912 --> 01:04:03.894 Can I ask it this way to you? 01:04:05.074 --> 01:04:09.298 All these things that are going up in price, are they not going up for CrossFit too? 01:04:12.540 --> 01:04:15.362 No, they got rid of their... Do they even have an HQ? 01:04:15.822 --> 01:04:17.424 They've gotten rid of so many. 01:04:19.365 --> 01:04:20.346 Okay. 01:04:20.546 --> 01:04:22.908 They have to secure a facility for the games. 01:04:23.588 --> 01:04:25.730 That probably gets more expensive now than it was. 01:04:28.840 --> 01:04:33.701 You have to secure X, Y, and Z to run this thing for the games. 01:04:34.702 --> 01:04:38.262 For affiliates, you have to have platforms, servers. 01:04:39.483 --> 01:04:40.963 All those are going up in price. 01:04:44.244 --> 01:04:48.885 So it's not just the gyms that are seeing the increase in costs. 01:04:49.565 --> 01:04:50.846 CrossFit is seeing it as well. 01:04:51.706 --> 01:04:55.107 And they haven't raised the affiliate fees in 10 years. 01:04:58.775 --> 01:05:06.839 Oh, I, I think the grandpa, like I've said, like two brain, the first thing they tell you to do is get everyone on the same fee. 01:05:07.319 --> 01:05:09.740 Like you can't keep these grandfathered people in. 01:05:10.900 --> 01:05:22.005 So if that's how we push the businesses, I think that should have been their first step because most of those affiliates are like Diablo who can afford a $4,500 fee. 01:05:22.025 --> 01:05:22.766 They don't need to be at $500. 01:05:22.806 --> 01:05:23.546 And what about all these, like. 01:05:28.775 --> 01:05:31.056 red shirts that have gyms that don't even pay a fee. 01:05:34.856 --> 01:05:35.877 Is that still the case? 01:05:37.477 --> 01:05:42.938 I have no idea if they're getting grant if they're even going to be part of this 4500 or or if they're still going to be a zero, who knows? 01:05:43.298 --> 01:05:46.719 But like, why didn't we just start with getting everyone up to? 01:05:47.739 --> 01:05:50.880 Why don't we start like, why don't we go in increments, the 500s come up to 2000. 01:05:51.320 --> 01:05:53.240 And then next year, they go to 3000. 01:05:53.721 --> 01:05:54.961 And then we talked about going to 3250. 01:05:58.112 --> 01:06:23.828 and require the l2 because that's going to be that alone was going to be a huge influx of cash just off certs like you didn't i there were so many ways to go about this it makes me think they're going for one big lump influx of cash to sell and be out there were x employees that had gyms with no affiliate fees that's awesome 01:06:27.273 --> 01:06:33.579 So that's part of the mess that I think exists that nobody sees. 01:06:39.184 --> 01:06:41.947 I think they're a private company. 01:06:41.987 --> 01:06:43.949 We don't know what's happening behind those walls. 01:06:44.970 --> 01:06:49.314 And I'm betting it is way uglier than we as a community think. 01:06:53.188 --> 01:06:54.909 And things had to be done to right the ship. 01:06:55.749 --> 01:07:01.732 I think the reason that ticket sales are happening in January is because they need an influx of cash now. 01:07:03.133 --> 01:07:04.554 So, yeah, that's all this is. 01:07:04.574 --> 01:07:06.154 It's like a huge influx of cash. 01:07:06.254 --> 01:07:08.495 Get those affiliate dues start rolling in. 01:07:08.555 --> 01:07:10.616 Get the L2 certs rolling in. 01:07:11.177 --> 01:07:12.197 Get some ticket sales. 01:07:15.519 --> 01:07:16.059 That's not good. 01:07:19.261 --> 01:07:21.802 And if all of this stuff saves CrossFit... 01:07:22.998 --> 01:07:31.063 then I am all for it because everybody like romanticizes what it was like in CrossFit before the sale. 01:07:33.085 --> 01:07:42.631 But I've said this before, 2018 when the media team was let go, everybody was crying in their milk because Greg let the media team go. 01:07:42.651 --> 01:07:43.572 Yeah. 01:07:45.493 --> 01:07:47.835 He hired a CEO that was a little bit wacky. 01:07:51.938 --> 01:07:53.660 And that guy got fired eventually. 01:07:56.222 --> 01:08:02.268 So it wasn't all like... It wasn't all peaches and cream before all this happened. 01:08:03.129 --> 01:08:06.972 And if all that was happening then... And then COVID breakout. 01:08:07.413 --> 01:08:08.454 Greg sells the company. 01:08:09.354 --> 01:08:10.235 All this stuff happens. 01:08:10.756 --> 01:08:12.537 And now we have people to blame. 01:08:13.498 --> 01:08:16.181 But I think it was a mess going into that. 01:08:17.021 --> 01:08:17.282 Because... 01:08:18.804 --> 01:08:22.165 It's just like any business that grows from a small business that does really well. 01:08:22.825 --> 01:08:31.707 And then they try to expand and they fail immediately because they didn't have the infrastructure in place to be able to handle the, all the new customers. 01:08:32.327 --> 01:08:32.547 Right. 01:08:34.128 --> 01:08:36.768 CrossFit grew big. 01:08:37.168 --> 01:08:37.388 Right. 01:08:37.988 --> 01:08:43.450 And then, and then it had to like find its way because you can't run like a small business anymore. 01:08:44.390 --> 01:08:44.590 Right. 01:08:45.649 --> 01:08:55.939 And so I think like giving employees zero affiliate fees who become ex employees with zero affiliate fees leaves you with a mess that you have to clean up. 01:09:00.523 --> 01:09:05.327 And I know on the Dawn fall sub subject, I am on pro Dawn. 01:09:05.828 --> 01:09:08.010 You are on, I don't understand what he's saying. 01:09:08.030 --> 01:09:12.074 I just, he, he, 01:09:13.772 --> 01:09:17.615 Talk's a big game and I haven't seen it. 01:09:17.655 --> 01:09:28.361 Like you say you want to get this out to 30 million people and you say you're trying to do the SEO and, but like, again, if you were, you would be sharing more content. 01:09:28.722 --> 01:09:33.705 That's my first, like, I haven't seen them follow through on anything they say they're going to do. 01:09:36.530 --> 01:09:37.990 How many holes are in the dam, though? 01:09:38.010 --> 01:09:40.111 Like, I'm just throwing out analogies. 01:09:40.151 --> 01:09:44.031 I'm trying to get to 100 different analogies by the end of this show. 01:09:46.792 --> 01:09:50.212 And you've got to put your finger in the ones that are the worst. 01:09:51.393 --> 01:09:59.374 And as much as I want them to share my content and think it's easy and think they should do it, I don't know what fire they're putting out today. 01:10:00.914 --> 01:10:01.374 There's another one. 01:10:02.835 --> 01:10:04.295 What do you think is the worst? 01:10:07.571 --> 01:10:12.332 What do you think is the main problem to tackle? 01:10:13.812 --> 01:10:18.473 I think that their accounting system in the back end had to be atrocious. 01:10:20.874 --> 01:10:28.876 You have gyms paying seven different fees depending on when they joined, some with none. 01:10:29.636 --> 01:10:34.177 You have no data to know how many people are out there doing this and that. 01:10:36.058 --> 01:10:44.504 I think that they had to clean up the financials and the tracking of the financials probably first and foremost. 01:10:48.447 --> 01:11:04.018 I mean, I feel like if that is the biggest issue was money, I personally feel like the way to do that would have been incremental and start with the zeros and start with the 500s and work your way up and clean things up. 01:11:09.738 --> 01:11:10.459 Getting all joked up. 01:11:16.904 --> 01:11:18.625 I think it would have been too slow. 01:11:20.707 --> 01:11:21.027 Why? 01:11:21.047 --> 01:11:23.309 Just rip the band-aid off. 01:11:25.071 --> 01:11:27.453 You think they're in the deep red? 01:11:27.473 --> 01:11:31.356 Because I don't think they are. 01:11:31.476 --> 01:11:37.281 I think it probably took a year for him to know if they were black or red. 01:11:41.320 --> 01:11:42.581 I, I doubt it. 01:11:42.701 --> 01:11:48.623 There's no way a company got sold without decent enough books to see that they were in the red. 01:11:48.703 --> 01:11:57.887 Cause you wouldn't have, if they were in the, if they were literally losing money every year, every year, what you wouldn't have paid for, you wouldn't even have paid for it. 01:11:58.067 --> 01:11:59.328 Like it wouldn't even make sense. 01:11:59.768 --> 01:12:05.451 So it's a money making business and they're just trying to quadruple their numbers. 01:12:05.911 --> 01:12:07.251 And that's what they're looking at right now. 01:12:08.412 --> 01:12:10.833 They could have easily done this in an incremental fashion. 01:12:13.809 --> 01:12:14.309 I don't agree. 01:12:14.329 --> 01:12:18.450 I don't. 01:12:18.910 --> 01:12:21.851 I think that they probably had some books. 01:12:22.071 --> 01:12:23.592 I don't think those books were accurate. 01:12:24.572 --> 01:12:30.654 And now they're probably in scramble mode and they're trying to get everything right, right, righted. 01:12:31.294 --> 01:12:35.775 So they know what they have to work with and can make the right decisions. 01:12:41.946 --> 01:12:44.347 And none of this was on our agenda for tonight, just so you know. 01:12:44.667 --> 01:12:44.907 I know. 01:12:45.007 --> 01:12:46.927 This was not. 01:12:47.187 --> 01:12:51.909 I still think litigation is going to be one of the biggest things they need to tackle. 01:12:51.969 --> 01:12:57.070 And I'm worried with some of these bills that are coming out. 01:12:57.290 --> 01:12:58.571 I do not disagree with you there. 01:13:01.791 --> 01:13:03.472 And I'm not sure that's where their priorities lie. 01:13:03.492 --> 01:13:11.174 I agree. 01:13:12.096 --> 01:13:27.644 And it's probably what hid a lot because how much money did Greg spend on litigation before they were bought, especially the NSCA case and how much he put into that. 01:13:28.384 --> 01:13:34.807 And if I'm an investor going, well, we stopped that case is over and we stopped spending it. 01:13:35.507 --> 01:13:36.868 Maybe we're, we're okay. 01:13:38.349 --> 01:13:40.770 And I think that may have hit some behind the scenes. 01:13:42.748 --> 01:13:43.989 Yeah, and we take a payoff. 01:13:45.890 --> 01:13:50.033 Yeah, that should have put them in the black for a while. 01:13:51.695 --> 01:13:55.377 Should have. 01:13:55.778 --> 01:13:57.439 But you don't know what they did with that either. 01:13:57.459 --> 01:14:00.942 You don't know if that came back to CrossFit or not. 01:14:03.163 --> 01:14:09.448 The way Don talked about it on Coffee Pods and Mods, and I want to make sure I give him credit for that, is that 01:14:11.223 --> 01:14:18.169 You know, he said that they bought the company and gave them a little bit of money to function. 01:14:19.070 --> 01:14:19.270 Yeah. 01:14:21.012 --> 01:14:22.013 He said little bit. 01:14:22.033 --> 01:14:24.175 Yeah. 01:14:26.877 --> 01:14:33.643 So the investment company doesn't seem to be putting a lot of, they bought the company and that was their investment. 01:14:36.446 --> 01:14:37.707 Well, buying the company went to Greg. 01:14:43.456 --> 01:15:12.613 so that it and a lot of times an investment company will come in and they'll give operating cash as part of the investment but it sounded like that wasn't a lot right yeah and that was that was in the hands of eric rosa yeah so yeah well we went way off the reservation tonight yeah 01:15:13.502 --> 01:15:16.224 Our show was supposed to be completely different than a rule book came out. 01:15:16.664 --> 01:15:18.405 Dawn fall was on coffee pods and wads. 01:15:19.046 --> 01:15:22.508 And then Jamie had a bent on affiliate fees. 01:15:22.548 --> 01:15:33.996 So, so here we are anyway, it was a different show probably than maybe what's going on on other channels. 01:15:36.858 --> 01:15:37.218 Probably. 01:15:39.969 --> 01:16:06.712 so let's wrap this up i'm i'm good we talked about tickets coming out um if you're interested and what is it you have more than like 12 people sign up for the open and you're an affiliate

interested in those, those are coming up shortly. 01:16:45.365 --> 01:16:55.491 I really wanted to talk about Spin's idea of eliminating online qualifiers. 01:16:56.872 --> 01:16:58.273 Oh, I was curious about this. 01:16:59.934 --> 01:17:01.754 but maybe we'll save that for next week. 01:17:02.735 --> 01:17:14.937 This is our last show before Christmas, so I want to make sure I wish everybody a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays this coming week, and I'll be back next Thursday. 01:17:14.957 --> 01:17:15.777 Are you in town? 01:17:17.797 --> 01:17:19.097 Yeah, I'm good for Thursday night. 01:17:19.197 --> 01:17:21.218 We've got a plan. 01:17:21.278 --> 01:17:28.179 Are you going to figure out how to send us off the rails again? 01:17:29.614 --> 01:17:31.255 No, I'll keep it under wraps. 01:17:34.697 --> 01:17:40.299 And if you don't, please check out our champion series. 01:17:41.160 --> 01:17:45.622 We are interviewing every champion at legends in the RX division. 01:17:46.682 --> 01:17:53.306 We've already interviewed Shanna, Shannon Bunce and Amy. 01:17:53.326 --> 01:17:53.446 Yes. 01:17:53.466 --> 01:17:54.926 Yes. 01:18:00.131 --> 01:18:03.674 Amy shop at

01:18:13.441 Uh, there, what fun stories. 01:18:14.082 --> 01:18:16.303 Um, Amy, what a delight to have on Shanna. 01:18:16.764 --> 01:18:22.068 She was awesome to accidentally walks into a CrossFit gym and becomes a CrossFit games champion. 01:18:24.329 --> 01:18:25.110 Unbelievable. 01:18:27.082 --> 01:18:37.206 And then tomorrow we have Mackenzie Megan, Megan, Megan Markey, Megan Markey tomorrow who won the 35 to 39 year old division. 01:18:40.006 --> 01:18:50.249 So technically, we've had 35 to 39, 40 to 44, which is Jamie, and then 45 to 49, and we've had 55 to 59 on the women's side. 01:18:50.929 --> 01:18:55.031 Next week, we switch to men, and we have a couple of the men on next week. 01:18:55.811 --> 01:18:59.172 And I just got another person agreeing to come on. 01:19:00.492 --> 01:19:05.654 So hopefully, we'll have the full thing. 01:19:07.254 --> 01:19:08.235 Was she drunk? 01:19:09.554 --> 01:19:10.194 Was who drunk? 01:19:11.514 --> 01:19:12.335 Was who drunk? 01:19:13.875 --> 01:19:14.095 Me? 01:19:14.115 --> 01:19:16.375 Oh, are you asking if I was drunk tonight? 01:19:21.156 --> 01:19:21.636 I don't know. 01:19:21.716 --> 01:19:26.217 I actually, I told Jamie when I first got on that I was in grumpy mood. 01:19:26.857 --> 01:19:35.759 I almost, I almost grabbed a glass of bourbon to come down and drink while we were doing this because I was just in, in a bad mood. 01:19:38.877 --> 01:19:40.683 Oh, was Shanna drunk? 01:19:40.743 --> 01:19:41.446 That's awesome. 01:19:44.955 --> 01:19:45.795 No, she was not. 01:19:45.895 --> 01:19:51.978 So a co-worker, the CrossFit gym was three blocks from her place of work and she's a pediatrician. 01:19:51.998 --> 01:19:55.619 A co-worker told her about the gym. 01:19:55.659 --> 01:19:58.340 She tried it out, fell in love immediately. 01:19:58.740 --> 01:19:59.921 Saw all these strong women. 01:20:00.461 --> 01:20:04.282 She wanted to be that and just went after it. 01:20:04.682 --> 01:20:05.643 She tells the whole story. 01:20:05.763 --> 01:20:06.703 It's freaking awesome. 01:20:07.343 --> 01:20:11.725 The coolest part is, and I'm probably going to clip it, is she talks about how 01:20:13.183 --> 01:20:15.865 actually being a pediatrician made her a better CrossFitter. 01:20:15.885 --> 01:20:21.670 Because I thought, I asked her, did becoming a CrossFitter make you a better doctor? 01:20:23.491 --> 01:20:27.955 And she said, in her belief system of being a doctor, it made her a better CrossFitter. 01:20:28.896 --> 01:20:30.877 So I think I'm going to clip that as well. 01:20:31.018 --> 01:20:35.541 Probably put it out this weekend because it's really cool what she talked about there. 01:20:35.601 --> 01:20:35.761 But... 01:20:36.570 --> 01:20:43.315 And then Amy, the nomad, lived in a van, apparently ate out of dumpsters. 01:20:43.795 --> 01:20:44.776 She let that slip out. 01:20:44.796 --> 01:20:46.597 Oh, my gosh. 01:20:48.338 --> 01:20:57.905 And ended up in Canada, in Vancouver Island, and all of a sudden went from rock climber to awesome CrossFit athlete. 01:20:58.365 --> 01:20:58.745 Very quickly. 01:20:59.346 --> 01:20:59.906 Very quickly. 01:21:01.178 --> 01:21:01.378 Yeah. 01:21:02.078 --> 01:21:07.299 And she agreed to be followed for next season as one of our athletes. 01:21:08.680 --> 01:21:09.700 So now we have Hannah Black. 01:21:10.180 --> 01:21:11.020 We have Jamie Latimer. 01:21:12.480 --> 01:21:17.701 We have Amy Chabaton. 01:21:17.721 --> 01:21:17.941 Yeah. 01:21:18.942 --> 01:21:24.243 And maybe, probably, Mathilde Garnes. 01:21:25.103 --> 01:21:25.483 Oh, yeah. 01:21:25.603 --> 01:21:25.903 I knew it. 01:21:25.923 --> 01:21:26.063 Yeah. 01:21:29.164 --> 01:21:35.390 So with that, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. 01:21:36.210 --> 01:21:39.853 We will see you after the holidays and before my birthday. 01:21:39.873 --> 01:21:42.536 Bye guys.
