what's going on everybody
did so yeah yeah it's I'm
so jazzed so jazzed I can't
even get it out it's Friday
lunchtime whoo what's going
on everybody what is going
on I am back with a new do
finally first haircut in a
while um we got a full
house already Corey Megan Tristan
ken joseph meredith mr sten
in the house what is going
on everybody let's do a
quick dart throw oh that
may have been my best
effort in a while shanna in
the house here we go here
we go all right um
Let's jump off quick.
This happened this morning,
as far as I know.
That is that BKG made a post
about the sale of CrossFit
Reykjavik and his side of it.
So...
Here it is.
Pretty nice post.
Talks about myself and a
group of my friends have
purchased CrossFit
Reykjavik and have
officially taken over the reins.
I've taken on the role of
head coach and thus far I'm
enjoying it immensely.
It's not all new to me to coach.
Throughout my CrossFit career,
I've strived to coach a few
hours a week when possible.
It's always been important
to me to be amongst the
people in the gym and feel
that I am able to give a
little bit back to the
community for all the
opportunities I've been
able to have throughout the sport.
Isn't that a great thing to
say about the community and
their support and being an
athlete and having that
support and now trying to give back?
I think those are the key
components we need to kind
of move forward.
He also then goes on to say
that he is far from retirement.
He still wants to compete.
I'm missing that part, but there it is.
Okay, got to scroll.
That's what you got to do on a Friday.
Now that I'm fast becoming
one of the senior citizens
in the ranks of active elite competitors,
I've been weighing up what
to do once I hang up my shoes.
Going deeper into coaching
and operating a business
with some of my best
friends sounds like a
perfect next step for me.
But rest assured,
I'm not even remotely
considering retirement from
competition yet.
While I feel great and still
love everything about the process,
I will keep on competing
and chasing my dreams on
the competition floor
alongside my new role.
so super cool there um good
to see him giving back to
the community being a part
of the community um really
cool to uh you guys are too
much man uh maybe kg will
provide water now maybe
Um, see me rolling.
I know I hate you have an agenda,
but can someone tell me why
we can't say community anymore?
And we're supposed to say culture.
I missed the memo.
I don't know.
I must've missed it too.
Um, I just, I still say community.
Um,
that's what it was when I started in
and I'm old.
So change is hard for me and
I'll probably keep saying it for the next
That's just how I know it.
I'm sorry.
So I must have missed it to see me.
I'm sorry.
Jake is in the house.
I actually have you on my agenda.
If you guys did not see the
head-to-head yesterday with
Kate Lawrence and Claire
Bays on their show,
that was some of the best
internet TV I've watched in a while.
What a competition right
down to the very end,
one rep difference between the two.
Um,
it was really fun to watch.
If you get a good competition, um,
with some fun people,
it can be a fun thing.
Uh, and so yesterday on, uh,
outside the box show, uh,
with Yon and Jake,
that head to head was freaking awesome.
Uh, one of the best thing I was,
one of the best things I
saw on the internet yesterday.
So go check it out.
Um,
Okay.
That was nasty.
They both did great.
They did.
And that workout sucked for me.
I'm a big guy.
I was pretty much like Kate
when I did it back in
twenty with muscle snatches
probably to start and then
just died on the burpees.
So.
Yeah, great, great workout,
great battle for them yesterday.
That was freaking awesome.
So the other thing is last
night we had the NFL back.
We did our fantasy draft
here on Clydesdale Media on
Wednesday night.
I'm already out to a big
lead against Joe Vela,
and super excited to go
into the weekend with that league.
We have a twelve team league
in the Clydesdale media universe.
So it's going to be fun to
keep up with that throughout the year.
Super excited there.
What else do we got?
So much has been going on.
Last night I went to Rudy Berger's house.
Well, not his house, his barn.
He has built a barn to be
able to work out in because
they're part of a community
that has a very small gym.
And that small gym,
they didn't want to take up spots if...
needed to get a workout in
or whatever so they they
went with some partners and
bought a barn and built a
little workout facility for
them to be able to do some
like some of their workouts
in so they didn't have to
worry about pushing people
out of the affiliate and I
went there last night and
I'm just going to share a
little bit with it it's
going to be a full little
video that'll come out
probably in a few days um
but here's a little snip of it
And the play button is right
behind what I know.
What are your favorite parts of the barn?
Yeah, so really my favorite parts are,
actually I'll show you the
best part here.
If you walk over here and
take a look up above,
this steel I-beam that's
installed there was part of
a tractor engine hoist.
that was originally in this
barn and it was a really
big contraption and we ripped it all out,
but I wanted to kind of
save a piece of it.
And I was like, perfect.
I'll mount it right at the
feet height for rope climbs
and bring muscle ups.
And that'll be kind of like
an old piece of the barn
that we kind of look at.
So it's kind of unique.
It's like rusty and you know,
cool looking.
My favorite part is this post.
that we get people to sign when they come.
So you gotta sign it before.
We make, we usually make people work out,
but we'll, you know,
you're technically working.
So anybody that comes and
visits gets to sign the
post and it's just really cool.
Some people are best to do,
some people talk a little trash.
But yeah.
The triple.
I can see that.
Yeah.
so that is um their barn if
people don't know rudy is a
three-time masters age
group athlete champion um
and podium in our fourth
year so forty to forty four
he has won it three
different times and he took
third in twenty twenty four
so twenty twenty two twenty
three and twenty five champion um
Oh, I like the autograph post.
Yeah, it's really cool.
And his mentor and one of
their friends is Scott Pancheck.
So his his signatures on the post.
Scott actually worked out in
this barn right before the
Masters games this year.
They had some people come
from out of town.
They had someone come from
Ireland and they all worked
out in the barn before the
age group CrossFit games.
So it's a cool little thing.
And they built like a little
back hangout area with some seating,
a barbecue pit, a place for a bonfire.
So it can be like a total hangout.
And Lana Marcin actually
asked me to ask about master's camps.
like training camps,
and they're actually
thinking about doing that,
making it a place for
masters athletes to come together,
train together, do little training camps,
and all that's in this
little thing where we talked.
And I pretty much just let the camera run.
We talked for probably, I don't know,
forty-five minutes or so,
walking around where I recorded,
and then I just got to cut
it up so that it makes sense.
Is Rudy in witness protection?
Just kidding, Scott.
Tell him to shoot video with
the cameraman's back to the sun.
So they don't have lights in
the gym in the barn yet.
They just got they just
passed inspection maybe two days ago,
three days ago, something like that.
So we didn't have lights in the gym.
Most of the video is shot on
the back deck in the sunlight,
and the lighting is much, much better.
But for the beginning of it,
just as they were kind of
showing me around,
it's a little bit dark.
And that's on me, not on them.
But I wanted to get at least
some shots inside the barn.
But most of this is done on
the back patio with good lighting.
And I'll just show you what
most of it looks like here, Fergie.
So you can see this is most of the video.
So I did take that into account,
but I didn't want to miss
getting some shots inside
the gym before we went out and talked.
Um, so there, man,
lots of buttons to push today.
So I do want to talk and I,
and I saw some stuff already in here.
Um, I watched Mason Caitlin's, uh, or Kate,
um,
Mason Kate's show last night with John
Wooley.
I watched it in its entirety, um,
during the rain delay of
the football game.
And, um,
It, man, it was so frustrating to watch.
It was so frustrating to watch because,
and I need to pull out my
phone because I took notes
as I was waiting,
and I wanted them to make
sure I had everything.
And I kind of said this in
the chat on Savan.
The pretense that they had
was that because Will Morad
was a nicer guy than Dave Castro,
the WFP is better.
And there's no logic to that.
Nobody said that X company
was better because their CEO was nicer.
Like it's,
are you doing the things it
takes to be a better organization?
And so when you're going in
with that pretense,
like everything else
doesn't make a lot of sense
then after that.
And every question to John
Wooley about it was very leading.
They led with their opinion and,
And then do they agree?
Does he agree or disagree with them?
And oftentimes he disagreed.
I thought John Woolley
handled the interview.
They said it wasn't an interview.
It was just a back and forth discussion.
But Woolley handled it well.
And he actually brought up
some points that made a lot
of sense to me.
that haven't really been said out loud,
and that is that really the
WFP is a farm system for CrossFit.
That is what it can be at
its best right now is a farm system.
Give opportunities to young
athletes to see what they can do,
give them competition experience,
and prep them for the
CrossFit game season later.
That is what they can be at
their best right now.
Because the CrossFit Games
have something that they don't,
and that is a legacy.
That all these kids growing
up who want to be CrossFit
Games athletes want to do
it because Rich was awesome,
because Matt was awesome,
because Tia was awesome.
And they want to be like that.
They want to beat their records.
They want to have that legacy.
Champions want to go where champions are.
And the WFP cannot, you cannot buy that.
The other pretense that
really fires me up is that
they believe that they're
doing well for only being
three to six months in, whatever it is.
You had fifteen years of
watching somebody else do it first.
You are not at ground zero.
You watch these other people.
All of your...
C-suite people were in
CrossFit and experienced it.
They've lived it.
They've watched it and they've seen it.
And they told us because of that,
they were going to be
better and they were going
to come out and be better.
And that has not happened.
You can't now backtrack that, hey,
we're just getting started.
You're the one that came out
boasting that you were
going to be better.
It is utterly ridiculous,
some of the pretenses they
have in these conversations.
And the biggest thing is
they came out and said
these things and didn't
follow through with promises.
And so now you've lost trust.
We're not competing with CrossFit.
Oh,
we're going to have an affiliate system.
That was the biggest...
dagger in the heart of the
WFP by them trying to copy
the affiliate system of CrossFit.
It's one thing if you come
to compete with the sports side of it.
I don't think people are as
ingrained into the sports
side as we think they are,
but they are so ingrained
into the methodology and
the affiliate system.
that is where you made the
biggest mistake.
And by jumping in and saying
that you were going to be, um,
not competing and then find out that, Hey,
we're trying to sign up
these affiliates and pull
people away from CrossFit.
That's where you lost it.
Okay.
Eric Mackey,
any bait and switch is concerning,
but multiple times bad.
And they did it over and
over and over again.
So Will can be as nice as he wants.
If he's being nice with lies,
you're just digging
yourself a deeper hole.
Fergie, Wooly is a failed podcaster.
He can call it whatever he wants,
but it will cease before
the end of the year.
I thought he was dead on accurate.
And whatever you want to say he is,
I felt like at its best,
it's a farm league right now.
At its best.
And I'm not saying they're
going to be at their best.
I think there's a lot of
evidence that they haven't
been at their best.
But he is dead on that that
is what they are right now at their best.
And you could see Mesa like deflate.
And you could see almost a
light bulb go on with Kate.
And that created some really
interesting tension at the
end of this video that they put out.
A used car smells good for a
couple months when you first buy it,
just like WFP.
I'm not sure they ever smelled good.
The execution errors are a lot.
And trust me,
CrossFit has done them as well.
But you as did the WFP have
had the benefit of watching
CrossFit make the mistakes first.
So you shouldn't have made
the same mistakes.
You shouldn't have gone down
the same road.
It's ridiculous.
It's ridiculous.
So Vindicate says WFP can
appear to be better by
paying athletes large sums
and giving volunteers free stuff.
That will only last so long
if you aren't making a profit.
Once that ends, everybody will be upset.
Well,
I also think it's setting an
unreasonable expectation
that you can keep this going.
Now, whether they make a profit or not,
I don't think they care right now.
I think they're just
throwing good money over
bad to try to beat CrossFit.
But like I said, you can't buy legacy.
You can't buy the rich
history of an eight-time female champion.
You can't buy Matt Frazier
being the most dominant CrossFitter ever.
You can't buy...
the goat Rich Froning and
what he's done for a
community and for the sport.
You can't buy that stuff.
So it doesn't matter how
much money you throw at that.
CrossFit will always have that upper hand.
And new athletes will always
want to compete in the same
venues that those legends
have already done so.
A farm league is to develop
players for big leagues.
WFP is where most athletes
who can't win the games
anymore go to have fun.
Or it's for like the up and
coming semifinal athletes.
Since we've really wrecked
the semifinal season, the regional season,
there's no place for those
younger athletes to get reps in.
I think that's where it kind
of becomes something different.
um if it can and like I said
that's only at its best
it's only at its best wfp
needs at least two seasons
before fair evaluation
And this is another thing.
Everybody's like, everybody's so critical.
Everybody's so critical.
You're a new league.
You want people talking about you.
Now,
do you want it to be for better things?
Sure.
But people are talking about you.
You're getting media
attention that most startups don't get.
It's up to you to take advantage of that.
It's up to you to change minds.
And
one from a storytelling
point of view I don't think
they've done that um and
they've had other
opportunities and the mist
and missed out on tour stop
two should have been better
than tour stop one and I'm
not sure that it totally
was from it a viewing um is
from a viewing experience
or from a mistake experience
I also wanted to show this here.
I've been barking up this
tree that the storyline is
Who is above the line and
who's below the line for the pro cards?
Finally, someone did it,
and it was morning chalk up.
It wasn't even the WFP.
It was morning chalk up,
and they list them out,
like James Sprague and Amy
Kringle are winning their divisions.
Several veteran pro card athletes,
including Jeff Adler, Travis Mayer,
Yonikoski, Emily Rolfe, Paige Semenza,
are below the red line.
Finally, someone said it.
other than me.
What I love is that the
minute you're critical about them,
they are just on the
full-on attack that you
shouldn't be critical.
I've been critical about two
areas with them,
and I've been constructive
in my criticism.
And instead of listening,
they just want to yell and scream back.
attendance seemed lower,
vendor village smaller,
participation lower.
How is tour stop two an improvement?
I don't think it was.
And that's a big miss on their part.
They get way more attention than grid.
They do,
but they're not taking advantage
of it in a positive way.
The main issue or
misunderstanding is that
CrossFit is not a league.
It's a one single event that
has qualification system in
place to get the best.
Anyone is welcome.
That's the difference.
It's okay to have different
formats in a season.
And I think it would have
been okay if they would
have just came in and
competed as a sport entity
to try something different.
Where they pissed everybody
off is when they went after
the affiliates.
That's where... Before that,
I wanted to see,
could a different season structure work?
And they keep blowing every opportunity.
And then when they went
after the affiliates,
then everybody was pissed.
So...
Ken says,
no one wanted to give WFP a shot
more than Scott on day one.
I'm sure other people wanted
to give it more of a shot than me.
But, you know,
the critics of me when I'm
critical of the WFP say
that I've given up before
the season is over.
Well,
I don't need to be punched in the face.
Sixteen times to know not to
get punched in the face.
Seventeen, eighteen and nineteen.
Grin understands and accepts
what they are.
WFP is trying to be like CrossFit.
WFP is trying to beat CrossFit.
And the problem is they
didn't just come out and say that.
If they would have come out and said that,
maybe more people would
have respect for it.
But no, they hid behind things.
And there it is.
But I didn't want to devote
this whole show to WFP.
I just wanted to talk about
what their show was like.
And when they say things like,
maybe we don't want to hear
the criticism and we want
to do it the way we want to do it.
Well, that's all fine and good.
But if nobody's watching now
because you're doing it
your way and not what the
spectator wants to see, good luck.
Good luck at all.
Anyway,
I want to get on to something else.
because Rich Froning was on
coffee pods and wads
yesterday and Peter did an
excellent job in that interview.
Um, a couple points that came out of that,
that I were almost,
I knew that rich was kind of in a,
I'm ready to kind of talk
mode when he was on Savan a
couple of weeks ago.
And then with Peter,
he just went the whole way.
So Peter asked him about his
relationship with Facundo and,
He did say that Facundo is
still on the payroll at mayhem,
but they have not talking.
They have not talked other
than a few run-ins at the
games and he called them run-ins,
not like, I don't know.
And they haven't texted in
months ever since the Malik situation.
So I found that very, very peculiar and,
Peter then posed a question to him.
If someone bought CrossFit
and they put people like
Dave in place and Dave said, hey,
let's get together and talk.
Would you be supportive of that?
And Rich said, no,
it's more cut and dry than that.
I would think,
where were you eight years ago,
fifteen years ago to have
these discussions?
Which I found was very interesting.
And he said, well,
then who would you trust in
those positions?
And he said, someone from here.
All of that was...
It was that last piece of
the puzzle that we got the
beginning of with Siobhan
and Peter pounded it home
and got us the answers that
I think we were all looking for,
but almost now scared to
know that that is where he is at.
It appears that Rich's trust
in the people either
currently in position or
trying to buy CrossFit are
not the people that he trusts anymore.
He is done trusting them,
and he will only trust the
people in his inner circle.
And he wants a position at the table.
He just doesn't want to be the CEO.
He doesn't want the everyday job.
He just wants someone to
allow him a seat at the
table to say how he feels.
And I thought that that was...
pretty telling interview that Peter got.
And if you have not seen that,
you need to go check that out.
Probably the last twenty
minutes of that podcast are
freaking phenomenal.
Do you think Rich is using
his situation to break away from HQ?
I think that Rich is making
a power play to say,
If you want your CrossFit,
your future CrossFit to be successful,
I better be involved.
And we better have people in
place that I trust.
Yes, Jenny hit it right there.
Felt like an ultimatum.
If you are going to buy
CrossFit and you want it to be successful,
you better have me involved.
uh david reed rich is not
wrong though jody drama I
am here for it yeah peter
has been killing it lately
his jason ainsley interview
and his rich interview must
must see television this week
Jeff Paco,
if you're looking to buy CrossFit,
this is a big deterrent.
I think it is.
I think it's either you get
on board with Rich in some
way or he is going to flex
his power and make it a
difficult proposition to
make it successful once you're here.
The only caveat that was
kind of like a bit of
leniency on the ultimatum
was that we would stay
affiliated if our athletes
needed it in order to
qualify for the CrossFit
Games or to qualify for
their season or whatever that might be.
That was the only caveat of like...
But he said, if we did that,
you would not see the
CrossFit name on the door
or on the signs.
Aren't Dave and Rich working
on a service cup together?
I think they can work on an
event together.
And maybe, I don't even know if,
my guess is if CrossFit's
doing it any way that
they've been doing lately,
they just handed it over to
Mayhem to run.
Oh, damn, that's interesting.
I still don't think Mayhem
Fitness can replace CrossFit.
I still think they need
power of the word CrossFit,
just in my opinion.
It all depends on who the
buyer is and what their plan is.
I mean,
I think that he may not be able to
replace CrossFit,
but he can be a hell of a disruptor.
How many affiliates does Mayhem have?
So from what I understand,
and this is really just preliminary,
is that they have about a
thousand official Mayhem affiliates,
but four thousand
affiliates that do their programming.
So they have some influence
at different levels
depending on what level
that affiliate has signed up with.
Sabrina,
I haven't watched Rory and Angelo
on the CrossFit podcast.
Have you?
I have not.
I have a hard time with the
CrossFit podcast.
It's edited.
It seems sterile.
Um,
the ones that I've enjoyed are when
like Hobart goes live.
Um, but the ones that are produced,
I'm really having a hard
time getting through.
I just feel like it's,
it's been edited or cleaned
up or something.
And, and once that happens,
I'm not sure that I
completely trust the conversation.
My question from it then is
what does he really want?
Who in their staff does he want to be CEO?
I'm betting that he is.
And Peter tried to go there.
That a lot of people have
signed NDAs and there's
been a lot of conversations
in the background.
And Peter said,
have people come to you and talked?
And Rich said, yes,
there have been conversations.
So my thing is he's talking
to these people.
They are going to be talking
to him before they make the purchase.
which in case the,
none of it matters because
they are still affiliated.
They are still affiliated, but yeah,
I mean,
it's still going to be a disruptor and it,
it,
do you want rich talking about how
great CrossFit is,
or do you want him talking
about how great mayhem is?
Um, I think you want probably the former,
Um, no offense to Richard mayhem,
but I just left the gym
after a year that I loved because of the,
the mayhem affiliate program is,
is extremely basic, redundant, and lazy.
Uh,
it felt like at four or OTC orange
theory.
Um, I don't know.
What is the TLDR of the car?
I'm sorry, Barry.
I don't know what TLDR is.
I'm old.
I'm not good at acronyms anymore.
I think about the affiliates,
vindicates dead on.
Only Mayhem knows how many
affiliates they have,
and the numbers are probably inflated.
Ernie Garza says the
programming has gradually gotten better.
One hundred percent about
the CrossFit podcast.
Same Scott, yeah.
Sorry, I'm way behind on comments.
You guys are just blowing it up.
David Reed,
if I was looking at the business,
I'd be talking to Rich for sure.
I think you have to at this point.
I think he's flexing the
muscles that he has to make
it known that he has some influence.
If it sells to Malik,
they will have more than CrossFit.
Yeah.
His philosophies now, like if I don't,
I think that would be one
of the worst decisions to
sell to Malik at this point.
Mayhem won't make or break CrossFit.
Poor management and
ownership by CrossFit will end CrossFit.
Well,
I think that's what Rich is implying.
That he's only going to pull
this string if he feels the
latter part of your statement.
uh jenny give him the
advisory role he wants but
he doesn't want a dave ceo
it has to be someone at
mayhem so then who I need
that follow-up question
asked yeah I think I think
that peter tried but that
was a that was a piece of
the story that he didn't uh
want to give up
Who at Mayhem is qualified
for the CEO position?
I don't know their inner workings.
So I don't really know.
I have no idea.
And I don't know who Rich is
connected to that maybe
isn't directly at Mayhem.
But he did say here.
So I don't know.
That'd be weird.
I don't know.
Yep.
Rich said mayhem, not a chaff.
He isn't mayhem from what I
know he is not.
And Chaffee was part of
those Malik discussions.
And so I don't know what blew all that up.
We don't know.
We just know that Rich did a
full one-eighty from supporting Malik,
Chaffee, Facundo,
and now that's flipped a
hundred and eighty and he's
walking it back and he's
not talking to Facundo.
He says that Malik's a nice guy,
but not the right person for the job.
And I'm assuming that that
will include Chaffee in
that group because he was
part of that group initially.
I don't think, I know you're asking Jenny,
but I don't think Austin is CEO material.
I think what Austin has done has been,
he's been an awesome programmer.
He's helped run an affiliate for Reebok,
and he ran the affiliates for, what,
a couple years at CrossFit.
Wayne Short,
people forget that the
methodology will live on
with or without the success of CrossFit.
I think Rich said that as
much yesterday on that interview.
That he believes that we're
all doing the methodology
and that methodology is
going to continue forward
regardless of who's in charge of an HQ.
I've told my clients to get
ready to leave my services
soon as CrossFit is being sold,
and I can't possibly coach
them if it's not the right
owner in charge.
Facundo doesn't want to be CEO,
or so I've heard.
David Johnson,
I think that whoever ends up
running CrossFit has the
opportunity to right the
ship and make all this null and void.
It sounds like Rich is
posturing in case the new
owner runs it further into the ground.
I think he's taken it a step
further this time.
I think he's been patient
and he just doesn't want,
he's just not willing to be
patient anymore.
uh mayhem he did mention
austin has been in almost
every role within crossfit
I know that austin's been
in a lot of roles I just
don't think he's been like
upper upper and but maybe
that's okay maybe that's
something different it's
less I don't know
barry says that austin has
worked for h at hq for
fifteen years that's a
little bit misleading
because a lot of that time
was on seminar staff um
austin ran his own reebok
one affiliate in I want to
say boston him and spencer
and then they had the ham
programming with him
spencer and hobart um
And then that got purchased
as CrossFit affiliate programming.
And they came on to do the
programming for that.
Then he went into an
affiliate advisory role
under Jay Dacoons.
So even when he was in that role,
he was under Jay Dacoons
for that time period.
And we actually had Austin on our show,
gosh, maybe a year ago.
And he explains all of that in that show.
We need another podcast with
Rich for Jenny's follow-ups.
We do.
And Jake says that Daniel
Chaffee is a decent karaoke singer.
That's good to know.
One of the criteria to be
the CEO to run CrossFit.
Isn't the CEO just the face
the board makes the real decisions?
It all depends on the structure.
Sometimes the CEO is a
tiebreaker in board votes,
which could give them a
little bit more power,
but it's all how you
structure your board and
how much power you give the CEO.
Now Jeff Beko is getting crazy.
Uh, Joe,
John Wooley has a business
background in a long time
affiliate owner.
Maybe he's a good candidate for CEO, um,
business background.
He's a banker.
It's,
it's a different business than like
most businesses like this.
Um,
So anyway, I found that fascinating.
I found that fascinating.
And if you have not seen that interview,
you need to go check it out for sure.
So there.
In a few months,
they can probably just have
ChapGPT as the CEO.
It's my fear that we may
already be heading down that road, David.
I can't believe like where I work,
how much they use chat GPT.
We're not allowed to use chat GPT.
We have to use other AI functions,
but like they're promoting
using AI where I work now.
I hate it.
It is so bad at writing what
we have to write.
So bad.
So anyway, with that, man,
this forty five minutes has
flown freaking by.
You guys are awesome.
There's some things going on today.
I know Suze is on the glint
and things later today.
I get what the programming
is going to do an
evaluation of the age group
programming later today.
And then I think this weekend.
Mesa and Kate are going to
be on with the Clinton that's tomorrow.
So lots still going on.
NFL season keeps going tonight.
We have the chiefs and the
chargers in Brazil tonight,
and then a full slate of games on Sunday.
Um, but yeah,
I'm heading to Montana in a week.
So I got to take my dog to
my mom's house for sitting purposes, uh,
this weekend.
So I'm going to make a quick
trip to PA drop Walter off
there and then head back for next week.
And then we are flying to
see my daughter out in Montana,
but we're going to keep the show going.
So it's going to be fun.
Corey says, CEO needs to be a CrossFitter,
someone who has bathed in
the blood of Daily WOD,
someone who has had or
currently has Fran Lung.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Joseph Ramirez, if it's artificial,
it isn't intelligent.
If it's intelligent, it isn't artificial.
Amen, brother.
Walter for CEO.
He's a son of a bitch, man.
I'm telling you.
I don't think you'd want him.
If you think Dave Castro is a prick,
Walter is way worse than that.
Just for Ramirez,
Mesa isn't going to survive
the comment section with the glintons.
She is.
I mean, she's strong in her beliefs,
and she doesn't let anybody
change her mind.
And she just keeps barreling forward.
She's going to survive the comments.
It's going to be us that are
going to be pulling our hair out.
I'm betting you.
With that, guys,
I hope you have a great
rest of your day and into the weekend.
Enjoy the rest of the stuff out there.
Get with the programming.
Glintons.
Tons of stuff going on.
With that,
I got to go get my eyes checked.
And then I'm heading to Pennsylvania.
With that,
you guys have a great weekend or
get back to work,
whatever it is you need to do.
See you guys next or on
Sunday night for Sunday
Night CrossFit Talk.
Bye, guys.
