We cover the sport of CrossFit from all angles. We talk with athletes, coaches and celebrities that compete and surround in the sport of CrossFit at all levels. We also bring you Breaking News, Human Interest Stories and report on the Methodology of CrossFit. We also use the methodology to make ourselves the fittest we can be.
Looks like we have a big announcement
coming at one PM.
What could it be?
Are we going to get age groups and
elites together?
What do you think?
It's lunch time!
What's going on, everybody?
I need to record that on a button
just like I do the Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.
I don't know why you have it yet.
So I don't hurt my voice every day.
Not even sure why you have it yet.
Yeah,
I need to get that as a button.
Oh, so, man, so good to see you.
It is one of those weeks where, like,
it's really hard to come up with talking
points.
And after two days of trying to figure
this shit out,
I'm so happy to have you here to
just pull your string and let you go.
I mean, it's a dead zone, dude.
Like, for real.
Ain't much going on.
What's going on?
Like when the news seems to be that
Travis is doing what he wanted to do
and like selling enough shirts to be able
to like, that's the, that's the,
that's the most interesting thing I've
seen this morning.
Fill me in, fill me in.
He set a goal to sell at least
five shirts a day between whenever he
started it in the first of the year.
And he is above and beyond on track.
That's nice.
Yeah, well, I mean, he was saying,
you know,
when he went in to do this full
time, like that's what he was, you know,
no plan B.
Full steam ahead the whole nine yards.
And so it gets slow.
I met him when he was still working.
Yeah, me too.
And I met him at Masters Fitness.
It was collective back then.
Him and Gabe had a booth side by
side.
Met him both that weekend.
And Gabe was trying to talk him into
quitting his job and going all in.
And Travis hadn't quite yet done it yet.
So, yeah,
it's cool that he has done it.
He's a great dude, man.
Every time I see him at whatever comp
I'm at or whatnot,
I sit there and bullshit with him for
ten, fifteen, twenty minutes,
which I know is hard to believe me.
Stop talking to somebody.
But he really is a great human being.
And I wish him nothing but success.
Everybody go buy Vinicature.
I mean,
it's just that it's just that easy.
i i was at the games going up
into uh the arena ran into gabe and
travis they're always together yeah
they're in the same spot they're hanging
out and they were asking me about the
glitter band and at the time i was
like i was just trying to figure out
what i could do with it like what
what was my real and they were just
they were so encouraging like
to like just not quit just keep keep
pressing you'll figure it out just you
know and uh it it was really nice
of them to do that in that moment
in the middle of this chaotic weekend um
really cool of them to do that so
solid human beings being a game i bought
my uh
hundred fifty dollar paper street gift
card for fifty bucks day before yesterday
as well me too my name whenever whenever
that was and then immediately went bought
coffee like my gift card got it in
the email used the fifty bucks bought
myself two bags of coffee i'm just waiting
on the ship so here's where i what
happens i'm actually a subscriber i get a
couple bags a month but my wife and
i go through those couple bags faster than
a month
So as I, as it kind of dwindles,
I then use my gift card to go
then buy enough to like make it through
that hump.
And then we have a little extra,
then the subscription works for a while.
Then we go buy more.
And what I need to see.
My paper street is my, cause I don't,
that i don't have time i don't have
patience to grind beans every single
morning especially considering i'm up at
five o'clock uh or before five pretty much
almost every day so my paper street is
my weekend coffee like when i have enough
time to get up make it put it
in the french press like do all the
things and then uh serve it so two
bags is gonna last me
quite some time,
but gift cards don't expire.
Thank you, Gabe.
So like once those two beans actually,
usually when I get down to about half
a bag left, I'll just,
I'll order two more.
It's fantastic.
I'm too damn bougie, man.
Like I, I don't have weekend coffee.
I have everyday coffee and it's all good.
So it is paper street every day.
But then again, I get it.
I wish I could not that could,
but I wish I had enough time or
could make enough time to do it.
Like it just,
I'm very exacting in my process,
so I don't mess with it.
Now, if I really want to get bougie,
then I do a pour over.
I'll actually do a slow pour over,
and then I'll enjoy that a lot more
on the weekend.
I want to get a pour over,
but I'm going to get an electric kettle
first to make sure I don't have to
mess with the rest of that.
got to tell you man when jamie and
i are on the road that girl will
find any way to heat water and at
one point man we look like a meth
lab i would have like my one little
burner that we would plug into the wall
we'd put my little metal pot on it
with water she's over there making pour
overs for us before we go to the
venue
I love Jamie.
She is.
She like, man, she works hard.
Like I'll be,
I'll be flat out on it.
She takes care of me on the road.
Like she takes care of me.
Um, I, I,
God blessed me with her as a friend
because like,
like she just is freaking awesome.
Uh, for a non coffee drinker,
it sounds like a calculus class.
All right, guys,
don't bitch at me for the font.
Uh, that was your boy, Corey,
who I gave access to.
And he was playing around before we went
live on the air.
I was, I was looking at,
I finally figured out where the, uh,
where like the backgrounds and shit were.
So I was looking at that and I
looked at the, uh, the font.
So I was like, Ooh, this looks cool.
Craig had to quit drinking coffee due to
hypertension.
I just ride the snake, man.
I just ride the snake.
Life is too short to not enjoy coffee.
Fuck whatever happens.
John George, is it organic?
I really don't know.
It just tastes good.
I know he goes through a lot when
he's selecting beans.
He doesn't just go get beans from
anywhere.
He is super serious about that.
He is a full-on coffee.
For somebody who only drinks a cup a
day, according to Gabe,
he is super serious about the rest of
it.
I don't know if they're organic,
but I know it's ridiculously high quality.
Eric Mack, you know coffee for me either.
I never like the smell.
This is what happened to me.
I never drank coffee until I turned fifty.
I was at the Mayhem Classic.
I was working security.
I was tired as hell.
There was no C-IV around.
There was no energy drink.
All they had was the Josh Bridges coffee
back then.
Can't even remember what the hell it was.
Good dude's coffee.
And I just started slugging it back.
And I was like, you know what?
This isn't that bad.
And from that day forward,
I became a coffee drinker.
I had a couple bags of good dudes
back in the day.
It was not terrible coffee at all.
I used to do a lot of Black
Rifle, but as soon as Gabe popped up,
I guess, on the Savant show, like, hey,
I want to sponsor your show.
So I was like,
I don't drink your coffee.
He said, I don't care.
I decided to go try it out,
and his stuff is ridiculous, dude.
It's so good.
yeah and gabe gabe doesn't own good dudes
anymore it's back with just bridges if
people are curious there for a while gabe
owned or was a part owner of that
and his own he was i think he
was handling some aspect of it whatever
whatever it was but yeah now it's back
just completely on uh on josh which is
fine uh ken walters i love the smell
of coffee my grandpa and uncle's making it
every morning at the hunting shack which
woke me up was awesome
There was a comment back here.
I think it was Joseph.
Can anyone read cursive anymore?
Yeah.
Us old people.
That's it.
Yeah, us old people can.
I mean,
I can still write cursive if I had
to.
I tried it.
My son was asking me about it a
couple months ago.
They were saying something about it.
And I was like, ooh,
let me see if I can.
And I wrote a short sentence all in
cursive.
It took a while to remember.
what all you know what everything looked
like but yeah it uh it's not bad
only masters that's fact speaking of
masters if you were with us on sunday
night at the very end of the show
we started talking about carolyn being the
poster child for the medical clearance of
the crossfit games and i didn't finish it
yet but yeah i thought it was a
clip about that
Because she was the oldest person at the
games.
And Shanna Bunce,
our resident doctor and all-around awesome
person, was in the chat.
And did you know she's a CrossFit MDL
one?
No, I did not, but that makes sense.
There you go.
super cool that she's that as well.
So she said that, um,
because we were making jokes about
osteoporosis screening and she said that
she actually had osteoporosis started
CrossFit and the osteoporosis went away.
So, um,
we were talking about that and that,
that she now has the bones of a
Well, she sent me this.
That's a perfect joke.
FYI.
I have to share this.
So just to prove what CrossFit can do
and how it healed her osteoporosis.
Here is Shanna doing a pegboard.
And what happens is she falls.
Hmm.
Whoopsie.
And all she had were bumps and bruises.
No broken bones, nothing.
How cool is that?
That's what it's all about, man.
It's almost as if strength training works.
CrossFit works, reverses,
and reverses the effects of aging.
The studies that have done it on people
who exercise versus not that have
Alzheimer's.
Like, mind-body connection, dude.
Like, it all goes together.
Like a teenager,
make sure the phone's safe first.
There it is.
Yeah, I mean,
the damn things are not cheap.
Good thing she had the mat there.
She missed the mat.
She missed the mat.
Yeah.
She missed the mat.
We'll watch it again, Joseph.
She one hundred percent missed the mat.
Yeah.
Uh, Joey Perez, I laughed it off.
Oh, M G. Ouch.
We don't love this.
Yeah.
And Joseph.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
She had them out there,
but it did her no good.
Cause she completely missed it completely,
which is something that that's,
that's what, that's, that's my look.
That's one hundred percent.
I'd have it there and then land right
next to it.
And here she is.
No sprains or breaks.
All I could think of as I fell
was there goes my ankles and wrist.
It's amazing what kind of thoughts you can
have while something like that is
happening.
Like Matt Fraser saying when he went over
the cargo net that his first thought was,
oh, good.
I'll get down a whole lot faster that
way.
And he's like, wait, no, stupid.
You're going to hurt yourself.
And the same thing with her.
As you're falling, you're like, oh, great.
Now I'm falling.
I'm going to break something.
i did uh i have a video of
it somewhere i was doing muscle ups a
couple months ago and on my very last
set like my second to last one uh
i just lost stability for a second and
my arm shot out like this and all
and i remember thinking in the meantime
well good i just threw my show i
just dislocated my shoulder or tore it or
something along those lines and as i was
doing that i felt but like all that
goes through your head that quick
And you're still able to remember the fact
that it happened and the fact that you
actually had that thought.
That kind of stuff amazes me.
It's like what they say with a car
wreck, man.
You're in the middle of a car wreck
and everything goes slow motion as you're
kind of going through it.
And all these thoughts can go through your
head like this.
And if you think about it,
only in your mind is it going in
slow motion.
How fast are your thoughts really,
really moving?
going if you're thinking so fast and
really, I don't know.
It's mind-boggling, but yeah.
One hundred percent.
Sixty hundred calories a day.
Jenny says, I creeped Cowboys IG.
He's fit AF.
He is.
His goal is to make it to the
CrossFit Games.
Matter of win.
Matter of win, not if.
Matter of when, not yet.
Larry.
I love lifting heavy.
Unfortunately,
I'm about to go back to sixteen hundred
cows a day.
That sounds like a terrible idea.
Joey Perez.
Corey, what age group are you?
I'm in forty five.
Forty nine.
I'm in forty five forty nine.
I will be forty nine next year in
April.
So this will be my last year in
forty five forty nine.
And then it's the run and it's the
run for the five.
Oh, I mean,
I'm not not trying to make it this
year.
I'm just saying my biggest goal this year
is to finish high enough to get invited
to go compete in person.
That is the number one thing between now
and then is that I want to go.
I want to be able to have the
opportunity to go compete in person.
I'm a million times better in person than
I am online.
Not even close.
David Reed, fifty five, fifty nine.
Now dumbbell went from fifty to thirty
five.
So much gets.
I went fifty five last year, David.
And everything drops,
and I think too much.
I think it drops too much.
If I can do two out of three
workouts RX, they've gone too far.
Dude, ask Bill Grumman.
He is the number one proponent of,
holy shit, this is too light.
And refuses to use the thirty-five.
Like, he's just not doing it.
Which one are you trying to get an
invite to?
Honestly, either one,
to be quite honest with you.
I really don't care.
Magic City is like a six and a
half hour drive.
And Del Mar is me flying across the
country.
So if you ask my wife,
she would much rather go to Birmingham
than fly to Del Mar.
But I really don't.
It really doesn't bother me.
One of them is like the week after
my birthday.
And I think the other one's a week
before or something like that because
they're only like a week apart.
So I'm good with either one.
Joey Perez,
Del Mar has more time before online.
Magic City is just days before online.
Yeah.
I'm good either way,
to be quite honest with you.
If I go in person,
I'm still probably going to end up doing
online regardless.
But that would be...
Lito has an excellent question.
How do you qualify for these, Corey?
I'm doing the French Throwdown Qualifier.
For both Del Mar and Magic City,
you need to be basically in the top,
I want to say,
twenty in my age group for Del Mar
and I think it's about the same as
far as Magic City is concerned.
So between the two of them,
you're looking at forty spots, right?
Most of those are not going to Magic
City and Del Mar.
So between those two,
the South American one,
the Australian one, the French throwdown,
from where my trajectory has been,
if I keep moving in the same direction,
I have a pretty good shot at being
able to make one of them,
whichever one that ends up being.
John George asks,
are you stronger at power output,
strength, or CrossFit?
It depends on how you look at it.
I would imagine.
I mean,
I'm five foot six and one hundred eighty
seven pounds.
Like power output is not high on my
list of things,
but I am really good on the echo
bike quarters.
I'm sorry.
Quarterfinals after quarterfinals.
After quarterfinals.
Oh.
I am good at the cross-fitting stuff.
I like the cross-fitting stuff probably
better than straight power output stuff
just because I'm not that big.
I am pretty strong for my size,
but I try not to,
I really don't want to get,
find myself pigeonholed into being like a
power athlete or, you know,
just good at the cross-fitting stuff.
Like I'm trying to,
Again, like Matt Fraser says,
I don't want to have a wheelhouse.
I don't want to have something that like,
oh, yeah,
this is me right here all day long.
Larry Young, Scott,
our problem is upper age groups are
stacked with cardio bunnies.
I think I have bigger problems than that,
Larry.
I think my problems are me.
I'm just saying.
I got to get my own house in
shape before I worry about the other
cardio bunnies.
Let's get this sinus surgery out the way
first.
Yes.
And get your breathing back to normal.
Right.
Then I'll worry about my cardio.
Okay.
Get out of the cardio bunny stuff.
Yeah,
Joe's five foot six since I was fifteen.
Yeah.
He's short.
I am.
I am not a big guy whatsoever.
I'm not a big guy.
You're not.
And there should be pictures of us
together somewhere that prove that.
Yeah.
I'm just saying open placement.
I am too, Larry.
I am too.
Yeah, so... Shayla.
I wonder if the drop in weight is
to preserve speed.
I'm okay with some of the drop in
weights at fifty-five.
I think they just overdo it.
I think they scale too many of the
pieces when really it...
And I get why you scale at fifty
five.
There is a bigger danger of like shoulder
tears and different things like that.
But.
Honestly, if me in my sinus issue,
lung shit can do to our ex,
there's a problem.
Yeah, there's just a problem.
That's too much.
I've been saying this forever, like.
uh and they actually talked about this uh
with joe linton whenever he was there i
forget which which one of the podcasts he
was on and he did address it a
little bit is that as guys like me
age up right i can still do all
of the things i can do the ring
muscle ups the bar muscle ups the
handstand walk and the handstand push-ups
because usually at fifty-five dude like
they here lately especially
Most of that shit goes away,
and they're like, oh, no,
just do chest-to-bars.
Let me explain something to you.
If you ask me if I want to
do ten bar muscle-ups or ten
chest-to-bars,
I'm going to tell you ten bar muscle-ups
every single day of the week.
It's not a good sub.
The chest-to-bars are way more, like,
cardiac-inducing, like,
especially if you're butterflying, right,
trying to get through them as fast as
possible,
whereas the bar muscle-ups is a little bit
smoother, a little bit gladier.
Also, just more fun to do.
Like, they're not as miserable.
Uh, the weights, some of them.
Yes.
Yes.
Jumping pull-ups.
Yeah.
The way they way over scaled the weight
and skill for sure.
Jumping pull-ups.
What was that wall walk bullshit standard?
It was a joke.
Yeah.
The wall walks for fifty five were back
across the line of front of the line.
You didn't have to get anywhere near the
wall.
Which is batshit crazy.
It is.
Especially if you're trying to qualify
people to get to the next stage to
then get to the games.
It's a joke.
At three hundred pounds and fifty five,
I can get really close to the wall.
I'm saying.
I'm saying.
And you're not trying to get back and
forth thing was like really nothing.
And even at my big
big ass weight it it wasn't that hard
and and i know there are people like
that i work out with that are my
age that would that were killing that like
it wasn't even resisting their advancement
in that workout no it's just it's silly
like if you're gonna scale it that's fine
scale the reps and
Pull the reps back,
at least for that age group.
Once you get into the sixty-plus and
sixty-five and over and whatnot,
if you want to look at it again
then and kind of pull it back to
something there,
then maybe I could understand.
But fifty-five to sixty?
No.
That's just silly.
I think this is what the true problem
is,
is truly from fifty-five to seventy-plus,
you really should probably have four
different workouts.
Because as you age up through those
groups,
there are things that do deteriorate a
little bit, right?
And you want to protect people.
But because you're just lumping them all
together, the bottom end of that,
it feels way too much.
Yeah.
Way too much.
And I think that's the problem with like
an age group CrossFit games.
If you want someone to truly make a
mark and have an event, that's awesome.
The scaling should change incrementally up
the ages more than it does more than
the lump sum of like fifty five plus.
It should be.
Thirty five to forty five,
forty five to fifty five,
fifty five to sixty five and then sixty
six plus.
It feels lazy.
It feels like a lazy program.
It's a lot of work, though.
I mean,
you do have to admit it's a lot.
I'm not saying it's not.
You have to know the athletes in those
divisions and where they're at.
But we've been here long enough.
Like these age groups have been here for
quite some time now.
So put somebody in charge of it and
say, hey,
let's look at what's going on right here
and let's make these appropriate for if
you got to do the five year groups,
even if you got to just say a
ten year group at this point,
fifty to sixty instead of going fifty five
to sixty nine or fifty five to fifty
five to fifty nine.
Sixteen plus or sixty to sixty five and
sixty five plus.
It's not a whole lot different age groups.
So say hypothetically, hypothetically,
you have a former games champion.
Female.
In the older age groups that volunteers to
to test workouts for you as a programmer
for the CrossFit Games.
Hypothetically, hypothetically.
And you then say, no, we're good.
We understand it all.
There's too much ego involved with the
people programming right now to do it the
right way.
May have a Zoom call with those people
later on today.
That's the problem.
You have to care enough to know what
the skills and abilities are of the people
in those individual age groups are at that
upper end.
Down towards the bottom end,
there are people still doing the full
workouts,
still doing everything that the elites are
doing,
just maybe not as fast or maybe not
as,
but they're still able to do them and
they're still able to compete at that
level.
You get up to that upper edge and
you've got to know a lot more about
your athletes.
And I don't think the people that have
programmed in the past care enough to make
those specific for those age groups.
You are correct.
Yes.
Joey Perez.
Well, yeah.
Tristan nails it.
Joey Perez.
We had a different weight for every age
group during semifinals.
Isabel, which was the right call.
Yes.
But that's just Isabel.
Like,
what about the biggest complaint I hear
from the athletes is muscle up over chest
to bar or.
Because there are there are people sixty
five plus that can do bar muscle ups.
And they want to show you they can
do it.
But when you pull them out because you
don't think they can, it's just.
It's insulting.
It is.
And shouldn't a sixty five plus year old
be rewarded for being able to do it?
The other big one is handstand walks.
There are people in those upper age groups
that can handstand walk and there are
others that can't.
There should be some kind of reward at
some point in that workout that lets them
show off what they can do.
I think that everybody has the weight
thing down.
It's the gymnastics thing that people
aren't scaling properly.
I think part of it is out of
an overabundance of caution.
Right?
To say that, oh man.
But I look at it like this.
If I know that...
i don't have let's say ring muscle ups
and i know that they're going to be
programmed in whatever qualifier i'm doing
or they might show up and next thing
i do i'm either a working my ass
off on them to get them and get
them at a proper level or b i'm
just not going to do that competition like
it's a common sense thing because like i
don't want to be the guy on the
floor just staring up at the ring or
just staring up at the bar or just
staring at the floor where i need to
go do a handstand walk because i can't
do them
Like it's not a good look.
Right.
I know people that will get out there
and do it regardless of that.
But those are the exception, not the rule.
Yeah.
Another example of scaling a bar muscle
ups is not having the foot below the
bar rule.
The glide kit.
Yeah.
I don't understand that one.
I really, really don't like.
I'm getting up over the bar.
It takes longer to do a glide kip,
FYI,
than the knee tuck or whatever the one
you want to call is.
Why not let him go?
I don't understand.
I've never understood that one.
I still don't today.
It's a hard call from underneath too.
It's always looking up, trying to.
Maybe.
I can't see.
It's a bad angle.
It's a bad angle unless you're fifteen
feet tall,
which not a whole lot of judges are.
You can actually see at least being level
with the bar.
Right.
So unless you bring out a whole bunch
of step ladders out there for people to
get up on before somebody does their bar
muscle ups.
Yeah, I agree.
One of the silliest rules in CrossFit,
says Lito.
I agree.
One hundred percent agree.
I don't get it.
Well,
a couple of things before we get because
the big announcements at one,
I don't want to go over that.
But J.R.
Howe was announced as the head programmer
for Syndicate again this year.
That was just announced a couple of hours
ago.
So the Syndicate crown will be programmed
by J.R.
Howe again.
Which means it's going to be awesome.
Yesterday,
I made a big stink about Penn State
hiring the BYU coach.
Apparently, he's staying.
He heard me,
and now he doesn't want to come to
Penn State,
which is fine because I didn't want him
anyway.
He said, I'm not leaving.
You hired Lane Kiffin.
That's in your neck of the woods.
That is.
He's an LSU fan.
Yep.
Yep.
Hey, bro.
I see, not conflicting, but, you know,
Oh, Kiffin's a piece of shit.
Dude,
he came to one of the top five
programs in the nation.
He wanted to coach his team for the
playoffs.
The AD didn't let him.
The AD was like, you're out.
You're going somewhere else.
You're out.
Like, he wanted to stay.
He wanted to try to win him a
national championship,
which they have a shot at doing.
And the AD told him no.
So what you going to do?
And they talk about the timing is weird,
blah, blah, whatever.
The timing is what the timing is, dude.
Like the portal is going to be open
before the playoffs.
In no other place in the world,
when you want to switch your job,
are you precluded from doing so unless you
have like some kind of no-compete clause
or something like that, right?
You are able to switch jobs at will
wherever you want to.
But for some reason in college football or
any other sport,
we make a big deal because a guy
wants to change jobs.
You get the offer and people want you.
It's your prerogative to take the job.
Yeah.
Sorry, Ole Miss fans.
La Lampin,
where is the one PM announcement?
It is on the sport of fitness podcast
that CrossFit does every Wednesday at one
PM.
They have been pressed pushing on social
media that there's a big announcement
coming at one PM today.
Probably going to be the announcement that
we're all competing in the same spot.
I just said that off the top.
I don't know that to be true.
I don't know that to be true either,
but I don't know how much other stuff
they could possibly be.
I think it's about the age groups.
I think it's about what is going to
happen with them.
I don't know which way the wind is
blowing on that at this point.
That's my guess.
I do believe it's about that.
I believe it's about the age groups and
when and where they are competing and
what the answer is going to be unless
they are announcing that we get the rule
book soon.
Well,
I hope it's the rule book is out
and not we're getting it soon.
That is not a big announcement.
Getting the rule book before Christmas
would be a Christmas miracle.
It would be a miracle on Thirty-Fourth
Street.
It would be an actual, like...
Ebenezer Scrooge gets visited by three
ghosts.
That would be an actual Christmas miracle
if we got a rule book before Christmas.
I don't know how much they've announced so
much about the season.
There can't be much left to put in
the rule book.
Yeah.
We had a coach meeting at the gym
Sunday,
and we were talking about that and asking
about all this stuff they got announced.
And I said,
the only thing we don't have is the
rule book.
Literally,
we know when everything is going to be,
where it's going to be, dates, times,
all of that shit.
The only thing we do not have, well,
aside from where the Masters Games is
going to be, is the actual rulebook.
So I don't know if that's a really
big thing, though, unless it's,
I guess it would be news if we
got it before Christmas.
Because that never happens.
Anderson,
the issue is it can screw athletes
sometimes.
Messes with scholarships and commitments.
Though with NIL and the portal,
I guess it goes both ways.
Exactly.
So I would say for LSU – That
athletes can walk out anytime they want.
Yeah.
It's all a cluster at this point.
Just from our perspective,
like the amount of people that I've seen
that have either decommitted from LSU or
committed to LSU now that since Kip has
been announced on Monday has been like –
It's a revolving door.
Kids leaving,
kids saying that they're coming, blah,
blah, whatever.
It's funny now because it's through their
agents, which is mind-blowing to me.
We got these seventeen,
eighteen-year-old kids making statements
through their agents about their
decommitment to LSU or their commitment to
LSU.
Well,
and the rumor at Penn State is one
of the names in the hat is Kalen
DeBoer, who is the current Alabama coach.
If he leaves Alabama to go to Penn
State, it's Lane Kiffin all over again,
and we're going to have another set of
angry people.
All athletes, including age groups,
are getting tested at the CrossFit Games
next year.
Now that would be an announcement.
That would be an announcement.
I tell you, Lito,
when you know it from being over there,
there'd be a whole lot of broken hearts
if that would be the case.
So many people would be.
If they announce everybody's getting
tested, can you imagine?
I got you now.
Because we call workouts tests sometimes.
Now I get what she's talking about.
We're talking about this jabby jab test to
see if you're on the PED.
Yeah.
A lot of broken hearts.
A lot of highly upset people at that
point.
Now I understand it's just rubbing salt in
the wound, man.
Alabama to Penn State would be a big
step down, I think.
I think what Kalen DeBoer has experienced
in Alabama and the unreasonable
expectations of someone taking over for
Nick Saban were maybe more than he really
wanted to deal with.
Nobody that took that job
was going to have a great first year.
It doesn't matter unless they won the
national championship their first year
there.
That's the only way because they were so
used to just saving, saving, saving,
saving, winning, winning, winning,
winning,
always competing for a national
championship, whatever.
So like his first year there,
I felt bad for the dude.
I really did because no matter what he
did, it wasn't going to be good enough.
Ken Walters,
IU is only a great team for the
first time ever in football because of the
portal and no more sitting out transfer
rule.
And Mark Cuban being an alumni footing the
bill for all that transfer portal players.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yeah, Mark Cuban.
And he,
I think I heard like he put twenty
five million in himself and
into their fund for the transfer portal?
I can't fathom having twenty five million
dollars just to say this.
I'm going to just give twenty five million
dollars to my former school.
Here you go, guys.
Spend that on football.
Isn't that insane?
I just my mind can't even comprehend money
of that of that amount.
Every time somebody starts talking about
it,
I remember that meme that I saw that
said, one million seconds is eleven years.
Is that right?
No.
Is it like a week or something?
I don't remember what it was.
One billion seconds is thirty-one years.
It's just the discrepancy was absolutely
insane.
It's a note that somebody has that in
money.
right yeah absolutely bananas hair test
because cuban does have billions yeah uh
larry young i'm curious if they have hair
tests for peds and hair some drugs show
up for super long i they're not going
to do that they're going to do blood
or urine not hair
Blood is more accurate.
It does get longer,
but it's super expensive from what I hear.
And so I think CrossFit flirted with some
blood tests a couple times,
but pretty much they're just urine.
I can't imagine how much different that's
got to cost.
Yeah.
Blood versus urine.
are a couple people that though i think
you should go the blood route just because
you know i'm sorry that's something caught
my throat uh urine had to be the
cheapest and the fastest yes yeah urine
shows up quick like quick quick but i
think they send it off and like they
send the other sample to get like more
extensive testing but urine will show up
fast yeah it yeah but it becomes more
of an iq test with urine it's funny
dude like when i was working construction
i have to take drug tests fairly regularly
and they sent us to this place one
time and they had a big water cooler
and um a lot of their waiting area
and there's a big sign over the water
cooler that said do not drink more than
like thirty two ounces or whatever and i'm
like hmm
an oddly specific sign to put up right
above your water cooler yeah i wonder why
that is and it's because you can drink
enough of it to fill your bladder up
with just that water and you're probably
going to pass drug tests when i tell
you it's a big sign it wasn't like
a sheet of paper like it was about
this big by that day literally pasted
right up over the water cooler
It might as well.
If you want to pass,
drink thirty two ounces at least of water.
Drink at least thirty two ounces of water
before you go in.
Go back there.
That's one of the funniest things I've
ever seen.
Like when it comes to that kind of
shit.
Wild world we live in.
Yeah.
We've talked about this before.
I think it was last week there was
a guy in the NFL that popped.
Didn't even see it.
Like, it didn't even show up on ESPN.
Nobody cares anymore.
No.
No.
Why would they?
NFL's making a trillion dollars a year or
whatever, some stupid amount of money.
Like, who cares?
Like, oh, yeah,
this one guy got a thing, whatever.
He suspended for two games and didn't come
back tonight.
Yeah, they're five or six, but yeah.
Whatever, he won't pay a fine.
And they're like,
are we going to have him back for
the playoffs?
Okay, we're good.
Yeah, a percent.
Will he be back in time for the
playoffs?
Yes, no, maybe.
Yeah, okay, cool.
We're moving right along.
Don't care.
Don't care.
Still got to come to film study.
Oh, yeah.
Hiller hasn't done any natty or nots
lately.
I mean, he's been kind of busy.
Sean in Oregon,
one PM announcement might be something
CrossFit culture given the cult culture
campaign that kicked off today.
Why would,
I would hope that it was more sport
related since it's on the sport podcast.
Right.
Because tomorrow is the CrossFit,
overall CrossFit podcast.
I don't know.
We're going to know in one minute.
Ish.
Ish.
I'm going to pull it up just to
see if they do it off the top.
They have Kevin O'Connor on.
Oh.
And Ty Jenkins.
It's an interesting.
PED testing is like forty five hundred.
I've heard I've heard around that.
Really like per person.
Holy smokes, that's expensive.
Jenny says they are trying hard to make
it fetch instead of letting the magic
happen organically.
Stop trying to make fetch happen.
I had, full disclosure,
I had not seen that as Mean Girls.
I have to rewatch that movie because I
did not like it the first time I
watched it way back in the day,
but I could have just been... So same,
right?
And I keep seeing the memes,
the clips from it, blah, blah,
she doesn't even go here, whatever,
stop turning.
And about, it might have been this year,
earlier this year or last year at some
point,
It was on Prime,
so I just watched it.
And I laughed from the beginning all the
way through.
It's so fucking... It's so funny.
It's ridiculous.
I love Tina Fey's writing from Saturday
Night Live.
And so I think I set the bar
super high.
Yeah.
But in my memory,
I like Baby's Mama better.
I liked...
like those movies that she did with Amy
Poehler.
So I need to go back and watch.
I need to go back.
Bridesmaids is another one.
Oh, Bridesmaids.
My wife and I saw that at the
theater and I laughed so hard.
To this day, I still walk around going,
help me, I'm poor.
Divisional Games location announced is the
title.
Lito, what does that mean?
Divisional Games location announced is the
title.
Oh, it's the title of the show.
It's not.
Oh.
Because there it is.
All it says is Sport of Fitness Episode
Seven.
Oh, for the CrossFit podcast.
But they have yet to go live.
It's late.
Well, Grubbs in the comments.
There it is.
It did up there.
Divisional Games location revealed.
Episode three.
It went from episode seven to episode
three.
Good job, media team.
Okay.
There we go.
Seven dash three, maybe.
I don't know what's taking so long.
It is Kevin's Wi-Fi.
connection like spotting at best sometimes
mine doesn't start right away so dude like
i get um personally on savannah's show
like when he went live this morning i
already had it pulled up he went live
and he was on for a good thirty
seconds to forty five seconds before i got
a notification that he was in fact live
like from YouTube.
It's been doing that a lot.
No, Shannon, it's one p.m.
Eastern.
Yeah.
YouTube converts it to your location.
So Eastern.
Speaking of, you know, of our listeners,
only forty three percent of the people who
watch this channel are subscribed.
So rookie numbers, people,
we've got to pump those numbers up.
Forty three percent of the people who
watch this channel are subscribed and only
like ten percent have the notifier on.
That's insane.
Why would you subscribe to something and
not put notifications on?
That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
No, if you're here.
How are you going to know if we're
live?
How are you going to know we're on?
Come on, people.
Oh, speaking of this right here,
mine is out for delivery today.
Nice.
yeah i i needed sleep so bad last
night i slugged back my third z and
man i had a great night's sleep last
night i'm excited dude oh to try it
even though when i uh i got a
text from dan church after uh we talked
about it and i said i was ordering
so he was like be careful the week
before come he's like maybe maybe i'm just
crazy but like it messed up his sleep
i guess the first time he used it
or whatnot
And I said, I love you.
Chill out.
I'm going to sleep just fine.
If I take it tonight and it does
something,
I won't take it again until after the
legends.
Not a big deal.
I'm good.
I would say the first night I took
it, it wasn't my best night of sleep.
But the second night,
it totally kicked in.
And it has ever since.
So I do think there is a little
bit of an adjustment with it.
I would not use it the first time
the night before a comp for sure.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Like I said, it's out for delivery today.
So I'm going to stop.
Oh, here we go.
Nope, that's not Jason's.
Maybe I'll give it another shot, Scott.
That was my experience and didn't do a
second night.
Yeah.
That the first night I did it,
it was, I fell asleep fast,
but then I woke up pretty quickly.
And then the second night,
like out like a light.
I like that.
I like that.
I mean,
my sleep has been pretty decent here, uh,
here lately.
Uh,
Ken Walters,
they need to change the word because
people think that if they hit the
subscribe button,
they will get charged for enrolling in
something.
No,
subscribe just means that you'll show up,
we'll show up in your queue whenever we
have a show or a short or anything
like that.
Join means you get charged.
Join means you're contributing to the
cause.
Right.
which is crazy.
Like our joints have gone up and our
subscribers have gone down in the last two
weeks.
So the people that are here and want
to be here are really loyal,
but it happens every like November,
December,
YouTube does a cleanup of inactive
accounts and different things like that.
Oh, speaking of, you know, YouTube does a,
a rat like Spotify does.
Yep.
the first time i saw that i went
looked at mine earlier apparently i'm a
big fan of podcasts uh yeah mine was
crossfit competitions and chicago bear
football so fun fact yeah well
understandable so my daughter is
unavailable oh so this video you know what
it means by the uploader oh
okay that's different something must have
happened like chase's wi-fi is down or or
i mean there's some sort of something or
another so now there is a new version
of it without the thumbnail they they had
to have and is going to go live
at one oh seven so a minute ago
all right
so many things yeah so just so you
see like it it went down said the
video is no longer available and it now
is just this generic forging elite fitness
and uh it's back to the sport of
fitness now it's got a thumbnail
Welcome back to this podcast.
Sorry, we're running a little late.
I had to get the hair done and
the mustache cone because of the promo
video that we had to do this show.
But we have a jam-packed show today.
I know you guys will all hear about
what the announcement will be today.
We have a special guest to make that
announcement.
Coming up just after this, Mr.
Ty Jenkins will be joining the show.
After that,
we'll have Kevin Ogar and then Heather
Lawrence.
And obviously,
we'll finish with our top ten picks.
Feats of fitness.
So more on what that announcement will be.
Up next is Mr. Ty Jenkins.
How long are you going to listen to
a society that tells you this appeal?
So Ty's making the announcement or are we
waiting for Heather Lawrence?
I would assume if they got Ty right
after that.
But is he doing the teens or is
he doing the whole entire age group?
And what is Heather Lawrence doing?
Kevin Ogar would be doing something with
the adapters, I'm assuming.
I would assume Kevin Ogar could be in
charge of the adapter.
What's going on?
It's not a lot of time I have
a guy on the show that's better here
than I do, but you, sir.
I don't think Chase is... I appreciate it.
Awesome lately.
Hasn't it been... I mean, obviously,
I'm a company man.
Everybody says I am,
and I get paid to say these things.
I should probably take this down before I
get paid to say.
I love
Is his mic not on?
I don't think it is.
No, it sounds like it's not.
Yes, Mark Phillips.
I forgot what pages look like without dark
mode.
Same, dude.
Anyway, real quick before we go.
So my...
My YouTube's logged in on my TV at
home, right,
for like when I watch like the games
or whatever competition on TV.
I log into my account.
Well, my daughter, my eight-year-old,
will log in and go watch apparently funny
dog videos because that was my second
highest thing ever.
on my YouTube wrapped was funny animal
videos.
And then it was like CrossFit
competitions, live, live podcasts,
and then like music videos or whatever,
whatever the other one was.
And I looked at it and I went,
okay,
I don't really watch a whole lot of
that,
but apparently the eight year old that
lives in my house is, which she is,
she's a huge fan.
She, you know,
Underwhelming.
I don't have it up.
He's doing it in five questions.
One of the questions will be the
announcement.
Anyway,
why don't we just go ahead and end
the show and we'll let everybody go watch
the podcast.
Hopefully we find out where the age groups
are.
Chase is getting battered for his mic.
Trust me, I know.
You guys all hammer me when my mic's
not right.
I was all up on you sideways the
other day when it wasn't on.
So that's the price of being a podcaster.
With that, guys,
thank you so much for being here.
Head on over to the Sport of Fitness
podcast where there's a big announcement
coming.
And we'll probably be talking about that
tomorrow, I'm assuming.
Yeah.
More like it.
With that,
we will see everybody tomorrow on Lunch
with the Clydesdale.
Don't forget to like and subscribe.
Please subscribe.
It don't cost you a thing.
