insurance agent.
Boom.

I can claim it right now.
We are positive the Earth is negative.
That's why we don't float.
Gravity is fake.
Totally.
Scott and Corey are shapeshifters.
Prove me wrong.
I wish I was a shapeshifter.
That'd be so cool.
Prove that I'm not.
We could be like the Wonder Twins.
Form of an ice pick.
was always something cool and something
dumb it was like i'll form a tiger
i'll make the form of a bucket of
water like it was wasn't it it was
always like super friends was so awesome
dude the coolest wonder twin was gleek yes

point but i mean whatever yeah it's not
because because chimpanzees and superhero
twins are the same people hand in hand
baby and hey prove me wrong um i'm
actually six two on a flat earth i'm
really in japan i'm huge in japan i

Jason Bourne wants to know, Corey,
are you Indy or team at Monster Games?
Individual, baby.
Individual.
Corey doesn't play well in the sandbox.
He has to go Indy.
I will go team if somebody calls me
and like, hey, can you come?
That's how I went to Fittest of the
Coast this year because somebody needed a
replacement, basically,
for them to go on their team.
But...
You ever grab your cup of coffee from
the wrong side and then the spouts up
by your eyeball?
Every time.
Every time.
I have grabbed it, like,
first thing in the morning going to the
gym and turned it up and poured water
or whatever I was drinking all the way
down this side of me because I just
totally, like,
it was face completely the wrong way.
Yeah,
you're going to have to watch your back
at Monster Games.
I see that.
Because Jason Bourne's going to see you.
Jesus Christ, it's Jason Bourne.
That's why I'm huge in Japan, Ed.
Huge.
Huge.
Huge in Japan.
Five, six, one eighty five.
Yeah, dude, I'm huge in Japan.
Oh, man.
That's why I love going to CrossFit comps,
because I feel like a giant.
I would imagine.
I would imagine so.
Oh, you little people.
My first legit individual competition was
Raging Games back in twenty nineteen.
We went to line up to go out
and I was in between a dude who
was six foot eight and a dude who
was six foot four.
And it's the only time that's ever
happened.
But I just remember being out there like
this.
Am I in the right place?
It's like the Granite Games when it was
Brent Fikowski, Colton Mertens,
Matt DeLugos.
Yes.
Yes, a hundred percent.
I was Colton in that particular scenario,
in case y'all were wondering.
Matt DeLugos so tall that his feet scraped
the ground doing anything on the bar.
Bruh.
He was like,
can we do anything about this?
They were like, no.
Just moved on.
An update on my correspondence with HQ
regarding the Wednesday access and which
RX plus pass gets you into stuff on
Wednesday.
We'll get back to you on that.
Yeah, we'll let you know.
Probably.
Maybe.
Maybe.
if the moon is in the right plane
and uh hundred percent well the moon's
probably not real so i don't know i
didn't ask him about the moon stevan will
not like the chat has been blowing up
the entire show with like people just
asking questions asking questions and
stevan is heroically ignoring the vast
majority of them
I don't know.
You know,
this whole like world cup craziness that's
going on.
We talked about like high rocks and how
Puma was making LSKD take down all their
stuff.
And it happened at Gillette stadium in new
England for the world cup.
I don't know if I did.
I think I will now support everything that
Gillette does because they are that cool.
So FIFA asked Gillette to hide its logo
at Gillette Stadium because it wasn't an
official sponsor.
Now, first of all,
Gillette paid a lot of money to name
that stadium.
Yeah, they did.
A lot.
But instead of bitch about it,
they decided let's do something to make it
go viral.
And they covered the name with shaving
cream.
That's amazing.
Yeah.
I'm a talking point that they had to
cover Gillette.
If I used a regular razor,
I would go buy Gillette blades right now.
Isn't it?
It's outstanding.
How do whoever the marketing person is for
Gillette.
Yeah.
That's what, that's, that,
that's deserving of a bonus right there.
Right.
Look at that.
We covered it right there.
Got it.
Got it.
You know what?
Screw you, Noralco.
Yeah.
You know, we absolutely will cover it.
Don't even worry about it.
Got you covered.
Oh, that.
I was like,
I was cheering when I read this.
Yeah.
Good.
I mean, that's.
Can you cover?
Do you ask?
So here's the thing.
They scheduled these games way in advance.
So it wasn't going to be a secret
that it was going to be at Gillette
Stadium.
It's like they just got there and then
people rolled up and was like, oh shit,
does that say Gillette?
That's not one of our official sponsors.
You've been doing this forever.
Yeah.
And I did see this too, Ed,
that Levi Hines and I think Bose have
done the same for FIFA rules.
It is the most popular sport in the
world.
Do I understand it?
Do I get it?
No.
I do.
I love it.
But I also know that these companies have
paid an exorbitant amount of money to name
the stadium.
To just ask them to take it down
for their event is about as ballsy as
you can get.
FIFA's like that, dude.
They think they run the world.
It is ridiculous the kind of stuff that
they get away with.
Like moving the World Cup to the
wintertime so we can have it in Qatar
of all places.
And they're like, no, no, no,
that's what we're doing.
Because Qatar paid them a massive amount
of money to bring it there.
Absolutely.
No other reason would you hold the World
Cup in Qatar.
In the middle of the desert,
and it's so hot,
they had to change it.
And instead of having it in the
summertime,
like the World Cup's always been,
move it to the wintertime.
And FYI, European leagues...
all play during the winter it starts in
the fall it ends in the spring so
like it now we're not just doing that
we're disrupting the entire seasons why
because qatari princes have money
apparently uh hyrox is getting ideas yeah
they are absolutely um
Yeah,
I just had to share that because I
saw that and I was like,
you go Gillette.
And I actually have a Gillette razor and
I feel proud now.
Yeah.
Here is my Gillette razor.
I like using it.
If y'all want to sponsor us, Gillette,
we will take your money happily and write.
I will write Gillette right here on the
wall behind me.
I have no shame whatsoever.
I will shave the word Gillette into my
beard.
For enough money?
For a Gillette sponsorship.
Just a big G right up in that
area.
Outstanding.
So, and this is way off topic,
but I did Dollar Shave Club for a
while because of the cheap razors.
Sure.
I would, now granted,
I can grow a beard in a day
and a half.
Right.
Right.
those razors are so shitty like that's why
they call it i would have to go
through two or three to shave my beard
off oh my word that's why they call
it the dollar shave gloves god my wife
bought me a gillette razor for christmas i
can use the same blade like three or
four times i got uh
what's it called because i don't really
shave this i'll trim my neck that's about
it my barber does this whenever i go
get my haircut so what i do shave
is just my chest area and i got
one of the electric jobs i don't know
what it's called it's amazing we now now
we're shaving chests hundred percent a
hundred percent
Well,
even if I keep the beard and grow
it out,
like if I didn't shave my cheeks and
my neck, you would mistake me for Bigfoot.
Understandable.
Right.
Or caveman or any of those things.
I got to get on Brody every now
and again because he is nineteen and like
he wants to have a beard.
Cool.
You can have a beard.
Son, it stops here.
Your neck is not supposed to grow into
your chest hair.
That's not a thing.
That's not supposed to happen.
And he just, he,
he doesn't shave generally speaking,
unless him and Madeline's fixing to go
somewhere.
And it better be somewhere where they,
you know,
he needs to look cleaned up presentable.
But other than that,
like he'll have this whole thing going,
it'll look like this, which is a shame,
but it's true.
Yeah.
I,
I never wanted the Abe Lincoln neck beard.
no no not at all not at all
it's not and you know what you know
who looks good with it no one uh
just like airwick candles are the timu of
glade good good good point no that's solid
that's solid yeah um dollar shave club
those blades ruined my head bro
I can't even.
There was one other thing.
Sprague shaved the three stripes into his
hair for Adidas.
Dude,
I shaved three stripes in my head because
I wanted to be like Brian Bosworth in
There was a short amount of time where
I had a line right here in my
eyebrow.
Ice, ice, baby.
Vanilla ice, baby.
I got yelled at.
Forever.
I got yelled at a lot about that.
Yeah.
My senior year in swimming,
I got like blue, white,
my team colors on the stripes.
As you do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
As you do.
I'm with Mark, too.
Like, two blades, maybe three.
Like, if you have a conventional razor,
like the five.
I got seven blades.
We got twenty-six blades on this razor.
Like, it makes no sense.
Yeah.
Like, I don't understand how...
I don't understand why you need seven
blades to shave one straight.
Well, yeah, I don't get that at all.
And the sixth blade does this.
And the seventh blade cleans it all the...
No.
No, it doesn't.
But hey, we're going to charge you now.
Eighteen dollars a blade because we have
three of them.
Yeah.
No, thank you.
And yes, Vicki,
I know we all need therapy, but yes,
I have shaved my legs for swimming.
It is it is a very treacherous job
going up the shinbone.
You women doing that all the time.
More power to you, man.
It is like I was,
my cousin like took a whole roll of
skin off his shin,
going straight up the shin bone.
And after I saw that, I was like,
we're going to be careful.
This may take me forty five minutes.
I've never actually shaved my legs,
but I have burnt the hair off of
them.
Starting to burn pollen on my back yard.
I mean, it's pretty much the same thing.
Sort of bonfire.
I have no hair left.
Yeah.
You pour the,
like you see in the movies,
like you pour a line of fuel and
light it.
That needs to be a lot longer than
you think it does be.
And you need to be way further away
before you ever light it.
Just Clydesdale's top tips for the week.
Another reason why women live longer than
men.
Yeah.
A hundred percent.
Yeah.
Um, this is our therapy session.
Vicky no copays.
Unless you want to become a member.
If you want to become a member,
at least the copay is hitting the like
button and the subscribe button.
And it's free.
It's just a little bit of effort with
your index finger.
I would do it for y'all if I
could.
Just saying.
That's the kind of effort I would be
more than happy to put up.
Welcome to the Clydesdale PSAs with the
cowboy.
Like after every episode of G.I.
Joe.
A good tip for a smooth shave,
use body wash, not shaving cream.
You know what's crazy?
I dry shave.
I don't use anything on my face.
Really?
Yeah.
I can't do that.
gotta callous it all up man it's like
doing pull-ups do it enough times man just
no thanks i'm good um before we die
i do actually have some crossfit stuff
today but i do want to say have
you seen this thing bumble bff bumble bff
no i have not
So, you know,
there's a dating app called Bumble.
I've heard of it.
They now have one to find friends.
I'm sorry.
It's called Bumble BFF.
Where have we regressed to as a society?
Man, when I was eighteen, nineteen,
twenty, I just went to the bar,
got drunk,
ended up doing something stupid with
somebody, became lifelong friends.
I can't tell you the amount of people.
Now you got to swipe left or right
on a friend?
I have at least three friends I probably
don't talk to anymore,
but that I used to have that I
was friends with because we got in a
fight.
Once we got out of our system, cool.
We're now bros.
This is insane.
Yeah.
I saw it and I was like,
that has to be made up.
So I went to chat GPT and I'm
like, is this thing for real?
Oh yeah.
It is an app made by Bumble to
find a friend.
This is,
Ed's got a good point right here.
This new generation can't make friends
because they don't actually talk to each
other.
Yeah.
Hey, you know where else I'm,
you know what I mean?
Most of my,
my friends that I have right now is
at the gym.
There are places you run into people.
it's we got a new girl i say
a new girl she's not super new she's
the newest she's not the low the low
person on totem pole anymore but so my
wife's name is jennifer has one in we
have another jennifer jen has two ends and
then this girl who's also named miss
jennifer started and so like they all
showed up for class one friday when i
was coaching she has three ends i gave
her three ends that day but bernard um
who is notoriously bad with names just
started calling her charlotte
whatever reason and it kind of stuck well
so i see her at the gym obviously
and i also see her at alexander's which
is the grocery store that's right around
the corner from the gym and when i
tell you i see her there the last
four times i've been she's been at the
store the exact same time so like when
i say i run into people i run
into the same person and i saw when
it was saturday
either Saturday or Sunday,
whenever I went over there to pick
something up.
And I said,
every time I'm at the grocery store,
you at the grocery store,
buying up all the food.
And if you don't get that reference,
you should watch Friday.
I'm just throwing that out there right
now.
But she's a friend that I meet at
the,
but
I would not know who she was.
It would just be some random blonde chick
at the grocery store that I happen to
see every time I go.
It's bananas, dude.
Wayne says the Bumble BFF is just for
the people who got zero swipes on regular
Bumble.
That might be true.
Vicky has a great point.
Who needs Bumble BFF when we have live
chat on Clydesdale?
We are here bringing people together.
I have met you because of this,
this right here, this show.
Kate Curring, met her at Magic City.
I'm also in a group chat with her
that blows up every now and again.
Who else?
I'm trying to think of who else I've
actually met in person.
I met Jamie.
I met Jamie.
I met Carolyn.
I haven't met Carolyn, but I met Jamie.
I have met Jason Bourne.
I'm apparently going to meet Jason Bourne
in a month.
Yeah.
I'm going to a Bears game because of
Eric Mackey.
I'm going to meet him there.
I met Andrew Sten.
Oh, yeah.
uh who else a couple other people that
random people in the chat i text with
joseph ramirez and that entire crew pretty
much all the time like consistently it's
absolutely insane see mark my wife makes
friends at the grocery store thrift store
gas station it's annoying that's my
daughter my daughter is like that i talk
to people and apparently kate's like that
Yeah.
Her husband calls her a tumbleweed for
friends.
I just pick them up as I tumble
along.
Oh, Kyle's in CrossFit.
Met him at Magic City as well.
Oh, yeah.
I met Leto.
Leto's hard to not meet, honestly.
So one of my best friends is Redhead.
She's my nutrition coach, all of that.
But it's not like her.
She is a ginger.
Hair don't look like Leto's by any stretch
of the imagination.
And Leto's hair is red enough to where
I don't think I could not address it
even if I didn't know her.
Does that make sense?
Like I come up to her and be
like, hey,
I know you've probably heard this a lot,
but damn.
So, you know, Leto lives in Europe.
She wanted to get some stuff from
Vindicate.
She had it mailed to my house.
So when she came for the games,
I could hand it to her and she
wouldn't have to pay for the overseas
shipping, right?
Absolutely.
That's how I met Leto.
And then she,
I saw her in the hallway at the
Columbus Convention Center.
Bam, that's Leto.
Like, there's no, could that be,
do I need to squint?
Nope.
Nope.
Not with Lito.
Is that maybe, kind of, sort of?
That's her.
Yep.
Met Peter at Legends.
All my BFFs are from Savon and Clydesdale
Circle.
All you're saying, people,
is that you don't need a Bumble BFF
app.
Scott texts me to get back on social
media every couple months or so.
Not that I'm a pusher.
But I get a text from Peter,
Coffee Pods and Wads, Pedro, saying,
Kenneth won another competition on my
show,
and I can't get a hold of him.
I can't.
I need to get a hold of him.
Oh, I met Ortega a couple different times.
Saw him at Fitness of the Coast.
Saw him at Beach Pro.
uh joseph ramirez and i did meet at
the games last year by accident i thought
he was heard but he was just sitting
with her and because i never saw john
heard in person i didn't know what he
looked like i thought he had a goatee
that hung down to here it was glorious
because why wouldn't he
and it was not john heard it was
joseph ramirez joseph ramirez oh lauren
olsen friend of the show sponsored by the
show met her a couple different times
she's awesome met ortega worked with
ortega yeah it's been awesome we don't
need bumble bff that is insane dude we
gotta have this thing having problems
making friends
Let's make it more awkward in introducing
yourself digitally by swiping on your
friends, on your potential friends.
What frailty would be caused if nobody
swept, swiped right on you?
How bad could that possibly be?
Like bad?
Nope.
Not friends with them.
Yeah.
Imagine like you're on it for,
for like three weeks and you get no
matches.
Yeah.
Damn, maybe I do silk.
Grace says,
red hair is the rarest hair color in
the world.
Less than two percent of the world
population.
We're special.
My wife is in that group.
It has side effects, though.
Right.
I'm just saying.
After thirty three years,
there are side effects to red hair.
Some of them are good because she'll just
interview random people at a competition.
Makes for a fantastic competition.
Do you know that redheads have a higher
tolerance for pain?
Yeah, I do.
I actually did know that.
So when she goes to have a procedure
done,
they have to give her extra pain meds
or the medicine to help her.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
All right.
So leaderboard shakeup yesterday,
pretty major.
Yep.
We saw some of it kind of happen
while we were on the air yesterday.
Literally.
And with Claudia Gluck,
the men's have not changed in a while.
I didn't have time to do like a
comparison of scores this morning,
but they did not –
It has not changed for like a week.
So we're still waiting until the twenty
ninth.
We have another six days to go.
But I don't know.
We'll see the women's side.
On the other hand,
the smackdown was laid on two women.
Jess Green got three scores zeroed out.
Zeroed out completely.
Because the judge that she introduced was
not the judge that she put into the
system.
And so three of her scores were zeroed
out.
Claudia Gluck got a two-minute penalty on
event two.
I can only assume that is for her
deadlift extension.
Carolyn thought it was her arms were bent
going down so she could get that bounce
off the deadlift.
So she's out.
That dropped her down to like fourteenth,
I believe.
Nope.
Nope.
She's no longer even there.
Seventeenth.
So that moves up.
Bear Gross, Bjorn's daughter.
Oh, yeah.
And Holly Tynan.
No idea who Holly Tynan is.
So I saw Holly at WFP,
one of the broadcasts.
She's an Irish girl.
Um, Burgos Bjorn's daughter.
I only know of her because she worked
out.
If you remember, I had a photographer,
Jess, uh, Rosie view photography.
Yep.
Pure ghost Bjorn's daughter worked out at
her gym before the games in Madison a
couple of years ago in the teen division.
Cool.
So that's how I know her.
And I've kind of been watching.
She's going to be pretty good.
for a while um so uh last i
checked mark harry lightfoot gained the
most amount of points of anybody so far
but not really up close enough to get
into that top seven no despite the massive
media campaign that is to try to get
people to go out and vote
Yeah, using AI and algorithms and...
All kinds of crazy stuff.
I saw a little bit about that yesterday,
and I was like,
that is a bold choice.
Holly works out at CrossFit Aberdeen,
Rob Lawson's gym in Scotland.
Rob Lawson was one of my head judges
at Rogue one year.
Good guy.
He's the one that hiked up the mountains
with the skier, not skier, uh,
rower on his back.
I do remember that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I, I, I don't,
the whole lying about the judge thing,
dude, like we've done, we,
we brought it up at least three different
times on this show.
Uh, Hitler did a whole thing about it.
Like how at this point,
could you possibly go, yeah,
we're just going to roll with that and
make that be a good deal?
Because on top of it, first of all,
all your scores just got zeroed out.
They are now handing out two-year
penalties, two-year suspensions.
So it's not just that, okay,
your scores get zeroed out,
you're not going to games this year,
you're not going to games next year,
or the year after that.
At some point, well...
One,
you should confirm that the judges you're
using are qualified.
A hundred percent.
And that they're in the system before you
ever do the workout.
If you didn't learn anything from the
masters at Mayhem, was that last year?
Then like that should have been your clue
right there.
So then you do the workout.
You didn't do that part.
You do the workout.
You go to log your judges and realize
that one has,
his credential has now expired and he's
not in the list.
And now it comes down to a point
where do I redo these workouts or do
I just put in what I have and
hope nobody catches me?
Rolling those dice is a bold choice simply
because of –
And Spence reported on it.
We've talked about it.
It's been all over the place that it's
not just that you are going to get
zeroed out.
You are probably going to get suspended.
And your judge is probably whoever that
whoever the judge is supposed to be or
whatever the case may be.
They are also probably going to get
suspended whether they compete or not.
um bad idea it just you get to
that decision point though where you're
like do i do it right or do
i do i try to get away with
it right and that happens in life all
the time it this is not exclusive to
crossfit athletes not at all we all make
those decisions uh when we're when this
stuff happens to us
I don't think there was any malicious
intent on her behalf.
I think she just didn't check everything
up front,
got to like the end point of entering
her scores and was like, oh shit.
And then that's when you have to make
the decision.
if she's even doing all that on her
own, like if you got,
you got coaches and handlers and whatnot
and like, you know, Hey,
we'll just take care of it for you.
And who knows,
maybe she did it all herself.
Maybe she got other people to, you know,
handle that kind of stuff for her.
And the younger and newer you are,
And the less experienced you are,
the harder that decision is to make the
right decision.
We all know we made more poor decisions
in our early twenties than we do in
our fifties.
The only difference is that our stuff
wasn't documented like everybody else's
is.
So yeah, I don't know.
You're right.
It comes down to integrity,
but I made a lot of dumb choices
when I was young and thank God that
I didn't,
people didn't make me pay for them
forever.
Right.
Like, and that's my thing.
She made a mistake.
Hopefully if it's a suspension,
it's a short one.
Hope, you know, maybe for her sake,
she explains the story and they say, okay,
warning this time, but they won't do that.
don't know we'll see history history has
said that maybe they might shorten it a
little bit from whatever it originally is
but they're not going to forgive it
completely it it's it's going to put
crossfit in the crosshairs because um they
did this to masters athletes now you've
got an elite athlete that's done the same
thing
And not only was she a lead athlete,
but she finished in the top five in
the world in semifinals.
So are you willing to pull that string
for an elite athlete like you did against
the Masters where nobody was going to
really come bitching and complaining?
Yep.
It needs to be.
The mantra has been spoken since forever.
The standard is the standard.
Wayne makes a great point.
The affiliate owner should be reporting
this long before CrossFit catches them.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Cows and CrossFit,
I have a spouse that might argue with
you, Scott.
I didn't say my dumb decisions were
against my spouse or they would hurt my
spouse.
I just made dumb decisions.
I still think you ban people with short
ropes.
You know what you're doing.
God, yes.
Yes, I agree.
I have never done an online qualifier that
had rope climbs at my gym because our
ropes do not go to fifteen feet.
Period.
End of story starts ends right there.
We've had rope climbs and a couple of
different workouts,
and we went somewhere where we get either
hang some at fifteen or somebody else had
already had them at fifteen.
And we measured them on camera.
Averis says, Scott,
Jess wasn't not the only person who did
not know,
and she might have even been the last
to know.
Lots of low integrity involved all around
in this case.
I get it.
I get it.
Truly.
This isn't a hill I'm willing to die
on.
If she gets suspended, she gets suspended.
And if CrossFit wants to stay consistent,
she needs to be suspended.
This is when the answer has to be
yes.
I have zero problem with harsh penalties.
If we're trying to maintain the integrity
of the sport,
whatever that ends up looking like,
that needs to be step one.
Shanna,
short ropes is like using a training bar
and saying it's thirty five pounds.
And someone got suspended four years for
that.
Oh,
his spouse thinks he makes dumb decisions
all the time.
Oh, true.
Cousin CrossFit,
I still make dumb decisions.
I was not absolving myself now.
It's not even that my wife thinks I
make dumb decisions.
It's a smaller volume of dumb decisions at
this point.
One,
because I'm just too tired to make the
bad decision.
It's not even that my wife thinks I
make bad decisions or dumb decisions.
She knows I make dumb decisions.
She'd look at me and be like,
what was that you're going to do?
All right, good luck.
You know what's a smart decision?
Having the best recovery tool in the
business on your side to let you sleep
at night.
And that is Thirdsy.
You can go to thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy
and get fifteen percent off your order or
use promo code Jazzy at checkout and get
fifteen percent off your order.
Third-party tested,
that's a smart decision.
Collagen protein, smart decision.
No melatonin, smart decision.
All the stuff, man.
All the things.
And a deal.
You know, Prime's doing their deal days.
Target, Circle, Walmart.
Thirdsy, every day, all you have to do,
be a little jazzy and get fifteen percent
off.
just bought four rolls of uh goat tape
off of amazon for fifteen bucks yeah um
i'm too lazy to make bad decisions anymore
i don't recover the way i used to
yeah that's until i got third z i
was i mean i was a mess a
mess
None of us in group therapy are twenty-two
anymore, Vicky.
No.
And I have not been twenty-two for quite
some time.
I'm so dumb I ran out of thirty.
Oh, come on, John.
That's a dumb decision.
You know what, though, John?
You can get more.
So.
I heard something last night on a WOD
prep podcast, Monday night edition.
Sure.
They had Colton Mertens on and they were
talking about him doing Xenon this
weekend.
And one thing I didn't think of until
he brought this up is that for him,
this is great games prep and,
Because it's five events for two days in
a row.
Him and Chris are going down early to
do an intense workout the day before.
So it's three days of intensity and it's
games prep.
Yeah.
I like it.
I was like, that's why Colton's smart.
He does not make dumb decisions.
No.
I love that people are still
underestimating him at this point.
You know,
there's some pig former from out in the
Midwest.
No dude like that dude is sharp.
He is incredibly sharp.
He's also got a really good team around
him,
but he's not a dummy by any stretch
of the imagination.
No, not at all.
And, uh,
Jason Bourne is asking pairs.
Yes, him and Chris are doing pairs.
Olivia and Lucy, Olivia, no, Kyra.
Kyra and Olivia are doing pairs.
And I didn't realize, but like the pairs,
you can split the work however you want
on some of the events or a lot
of the events.
Which makes it really cool because then
you can kind of specialize.
I like that.
I like that.
One of the local conferences you used to
have around here was pairs.
And Justin would say that all the time.
Like, dude,
I don't care how you break it up.
I really, really don't.
Like, break it up however you want.
It's a competition.
If you can find a better way to
do it, more efficient, then you're good.
Go for it.
I don't care.
That makes a lot of sense to me,
but maxing out twice in two days,
one of them being a snatch would scare
the heck out of me.
Lito,
they do the volume to be okay with
that.
I'm going to tell you the one that
is going or can hurt a whole lot
is that one minute max calorie echo bike.
If you have never done anything close to
that,
like just to see what you can do
for sixty seconds,
it will wreck you for a long time
afterwards.
Like a long time.
If you are fully like really going, OK,
let's see what let's see what it actually
looks like.
And you had better be primed before you
get on there,
because if you do it and you're not
actually warm before you get on the bike.
Good luck.
Come on, man.
That's what the first ten calories are
for.
Yeah, axed Allen Pepper.
That's the one of the ones I looked
at when I was like, man, you know,
what would be fun,
what would not be fun, looking at it,
blah, blah, blah, whatever.
I looked at that and I went,
nothing about that is fun a one rep
max snatch that's fun right throw some
weight around five minutes see what you
can do boom snap squat snatch we'll call
it stand it up awesome a one rep
or excuse me one minute max calorie echo
bike is just going to hurt period and
not for not for just the time that
you're doing it you're going to feel that
the rest of the day
and uh lito brings up and the pairs
are doing the snatch after one minute of
max calories oh my god yeah so the
pairs are in reverse of the of the
individuals so they're doing it in reverse
order um where the individuals start with
the snatch
then go to the calories,
then through the cement cons it's
reversed.
And I did see someone ask,
and there's Wayne,
is this being streamed anywhere?
I have not been able to find that
out yet.
I haven't heard anything.
I got a couple of friends that are
going and competing, um,
But I have absolutely no idea about the
whole streaming thing.
Matter of fact,
talking about Colton and him going to do
that, my buddy Chris,
who actually won Magic City or AG Group,
he's going to do it this weekend.
And it's the same thing.
He's going to do it.
It's going to be good games for him.
So, yeah,
I've been watching their Instagram to see
if there's anything.
I haven't seen anything.
So MPC says no,
at this point there isn't.
That's a shame because they have a lot
of funding and even just a cheap iPhone
at each station putting up a couple
channels, like that would be pretty cool.
It would seem to also,
because of the nature of what it is,
like, you know,
cycling through pretty quick,
there's not really any kind of long events
lend itself to be streamed in some,
like I said, some capacity.
I don't think they need to have,
you know.
chasing whoever like commenting got
commenting on on it the entire time but
at least have the the floor mcs mic
piped in and in a camera you know
rotating back between station and station
like four mcs one one per arena so
there's four four stations yeah um that
you go through to do all the things
and uh one mc at every station i
know jason is part of it
Puma said they couldn't stream.
You got me, Wayne.
That's a good one.
I like that a lot.
No, but that, I mean, like I said,
I think it would lend itself.
And maybe that'll be something they'll do
in the future.
Who knows?
I know I'll be trying to keep up
with Harvard because I know it's for
points.
Well, like the one rep max snatch,
you just put a stationary camera and let
the volume...
Take the MC.
The MC is going to tell you what's
going on on the floor, right?
So I don't know.
We'll see.
Because I want to see how it does.
The last thing I wanted to talk about
real quick,
and maybe we'll get into it more tomorrow
because we are ending our lunchtime here,
is I had this like epiphany.
last night when i was laying in bed
and that is do you think do you
think with the new format of the crossfit
game season it actually is lending itself
to less people watching because it's too
there's too much variety during the season
no and here here's my take let me
let me say my full take
When we had regionals,
you watched like everybody do the same
workout, six workouts around the world.
So you got these six workouts.
That's all you really even saw.
And then when the games came,
you were doing nothing like what you saw
at regionals.
It's true.
Now you have eleven different semifinals
doing whatever workouts they want to do.
So you have like all these different
workouts all over the place.
And then it's not as exciting to see
what's coming at the games.
Then you add in the factor that we've
been the indoor games for the last couple
years.
Where you weren't going to get a snail
or a pig or anything.
um a bird and run or any of
those like fun outdoor events so that is
they have taken all the excitement out of
getting ready for the crossfit games
I mean,
they took all the excitement out of it
for a year for sure with ten events
and five of them having machines in it
and then ninety nine percent of it being
inside.
Yeah, I give you that.
But I think you only knew six workouts.
You only saw six workouts.
Right.
And then you got to see it evolve
over the weeks because.
The first people to do it were the
first people to do it,
and the last people to do it were
the last people to do it,
and they got to see what the first
people did.
No, no, I understand the argument,
but if you'd asked me that last year,
especially right after the games,
I'd have said absolutely,
one hundred percent.
But knowing that we got twenty events this
year, knowing we're going back outside,
knowing we're going back out,
this feels more like what the games are
supposed to feel like.
They're still not selling tickets.
I was going to say,
I know they're not selling tickets.
I'm trying to reserve judgment until it
actually happens.
But we're getting back in the pool.
We're going off site.
We're going to the ranch.
I mean,
Dave talking about cleaning up stuff out
on the trail.
He hasn't announced we're going to the
ranch yet.
Worst kept secret in CrossFit.
He hasn't announced that we're going to.
Okay, cool.
Yeah.
All right there, guy.
And then he said,
I rented a tractor so I could go
and clear a bunch of brush out and
blah, blah, blah on the weekend review.
Come on, dude.
He's giving hints without giving hints.
I'm not saying you're wrong.
I'm just saying he hasn't announced it.
Yeah,
and I feel like he's – I don't
know if he's doing it on purpose,
like being cagey on purpose like that.
But if he's not,
he's doing a good job of it if
he's not trying to, if that makes sense.
But I'm – I watched Mayhem.
I watched some of the rest of them.
I watched some of Syndicate.
I watched some of NorCal.
Actually,
I watched a lot of both of those.
Yeah, everything was different,
but I liked the fact that everything was
different because you got a different
experience on each one.
Yeah.
Grayson says, he did say,
I'll see you in Aromist in one of
the athlete interviews.
Well, the Red Barn is in Aromist.
So the red barn is still there.
Yeah.
It actually,
the red barn touches the ranch.
I was about to say, the ranch,
which apparently you can damn near walk to
from the red barn.
So there's that.
Um, yeah,
I guess at the very back of the
property of the ranch is the red barn.
Yeah.
Um,
I'm excited.
I really am.
Let me say that.
I'm cautiously optimistic.
I still think there's a factor of when
you only had the six workouts that
everybody did, that... So, like,
say you maxed out a clean in regionals.
You might get to see them max out
a snatch at the games,
and that was exciting.
Sure.
Right?
Or...
we,
the one year they did all dumbbells at
the, at the regional and no barbell.
Everybody just wanted to see them pick up
a damn barbell when they got to the
games.
Right.
Right.
Like it's world building.
It, it,
it allowed the storytelling to happen
more.
Whatever Dave was in his crazy head at
that time, you got a story some way,
right?
When it's all disjointed at the semifinal
level,
there's no story because there are eleven
different individual books.
It's a lot more,
to use old boy's word from this morning,
it's a lot more discombobulated because it
used to be, and Dave said this, like...
there was going to be a theme going
on from the open through regionals or you
know whatever all the way through to the
games whatever that theme may be some
underlying theme that was going on the
entire time well as soon as you took
the the the middle step out you know
from the open to the games now you
took and you've taken that part away from
him
where he could continue building on that
theme all the way through because they got
no say as to what's going on who's
programming mayhem and who's programming
uh legends and who's programming whatever
like they're gonna do whatever they want
to do and it has he has nothing
to do with that so i get what
you're saying a hundred percent i think
it's just different i think a lot of
us go ahead
I think a lot of us, myself included,
are very nostalgic for the old days.
I'm not nostalgic for the old days.
I've never been one to say we have
to keep it just because.
Yeah.
But what I am nostalgic of,
and this is in every season of a
sport, is a story.
Sure.
Like, take the show Welcome to Wrexham,
right?
They tell the story of every season of
that Wrexham football club.
Right?
Because there's a story going on.
It's like Vicki said,
now CrossFit is eleven authors in the same
book series.
Yep.
And none of them are talking to each
other.
At all.
Right?
So now we've totally lost the cohesiveness
of the story.
The thread.
The one thread that's going to be going
through the entire thing.
I agree with you on that, for sure.
And I think with that, you lose interest.
Because I watch sports for whatever story
is developing.
Yes, continuity.
That's the other C word I was looking
for, Vicki.
A cohesive continuity.
Cohesive continuity.
This is what happens if you stop reading
books, y'all.
I'm just throwing that out there.
Yep.
Or if you start logging into Bumble BFF.
Bumble BFF.
Sweet baby Jesus.
Here's the other thing about that.
I'm glad you brought that back up.
Is that I got enough friends.
I really, really do.
Like I don't need an app to go
get more.
I got enough friends.
If I don't want to make some more
friends, I know where to look.
It's not hard to do.
You know what else is true?
My friends are judgy enough of me.
God, yes.
I don't need them to say I swiped
right or swiped left.
They're going to trash me to my face
enough.
I don't need an algorithm telling me that
they don't like me today or they like
me tomorrow.
I have enough people in real life to
tell me how stupid I am on a
daily basis.
I do not need people coming at me
from an app.
A hundred percent.
Yes.
Mark Phillips.
Taking sniper shots.
Swipe left.
No.
Yes.
Mark Phillips.
Look at this.
I don't even want all the friends that
I have.
sorry that's a thing those are real
friends scott
Yeah, no, those are, those are,
let me tell you something.
While we're, while we're on the, uh,
the Clydesdale PSA, uh, train,
if your friends do not tell you when
you about to do something stupid,
when you announce that you're about to do
something stupid and your friends,
like Jill didn't go, Hey man,
that's a terrible idea.
Don't do that.
Those are not your friends.
Or if they're the friends that say,
hold on, let me get my gear.
I'm coming with you.
I'm going to do the stupid thing with
you.
Those are true friends.
Cool.
Let's go.
I wasn't even inviting you.
You didn't have to.
Let's go.
You have your smart friends that tell you
not to do it.
And you have your fun friends that say,
let's go.
A hundred percent.
A hundred percent.
Um,
I would never, we were working,
when I was working for a sound and
lighting company in New Orleans,
this was forever,
it was twenty-something years ago,
and doing a big show over the weekend,
and we were riding back to the shop,
and the dude I was riding with was
just, it had been a lot, right,
we had been up since early,
early that morning,
it was very late at night,
I was about to stop at McDonald's and
get something to eat,
and he was just like...
I just want to find somebody and just
hit him in the face.
And I was like, let's go.
We're going to McDonald's right now.
We can go grab somebody.
He started laughing.
He said,
most people have that voice of reason
person, friend.
He said, you're not that dude.
I was like, no, I am not.
I will encourage you to do whatever dumb
thing that you feel like you need to
do.
I'm going to be right there with you.
Let's roll.
You got Joseph saying,
let me switch to camera mode.
Okay, now go.
A hundred percent.
Hang tight for a second.
Let me put this camera on.
So one of my favorite fun stories ever
is I was bouncing at a bar.
I, you know, I grew up in Pennsylvania,
home of Punxsutawney Phil,
the groundhog that tells us if we're
getting winter or not.
Right.
We're working at the bar.
It's two thirty,
three o'clock in the morning.
We've shut everything down.
We're having a beer to kind of chill.
And my bouncer friends look at me and
go, you know,
Punks Tawny's only like hour away.
We could throw a keg in the trunk.
Let's go.
Let's go watch a round dog come out
of the ground.
Let's rock with it.
I'm down.
Let's go.
And then we got there and the whole
hillside was full of people with their
kegs watching the groundhog come out of
the ground.
What a fun morning.
Let's go groundhog.
So, so much fun.
If their local high school mascot is not
the Groundhogs,
they are wasting a good opportunity.
I'm just throwing that out there right
now.
I have no idea if that's true or
not.
I don't believe it is,
but I'll double check.
It should be.
It should be.
First of all,
it's one of those towns where if you
blink, you're in and out of it.
Yeah, a hundred percent.
I'm not even sure they still have a
high school.
right there's like seventy five eighty
people there and tops but it doesn't
matter everybody knows everybody knows
fucks tony yep period all because of you
or not bill murray and andy mcmurray yes
absolutely so they're not the mighty
groundhogs i'm sorry you're just wasting
an opportunity fucks tony get at me i
can help you all
All right, guys.
On that note, it's been a blast.
On that.
On the mighty ground.
You guys have a great rest of your
day.
We'll be back with more stuff tomorrow.
I just say stuff now because who the
hell knows what we're going to talk about.
But with that,
we'll see everybody tomorrow.
You wouldn't wait to get to the editing
room to jazz me up.
I'm already jazzy.
Lunch with the Clydesdale Cowboy in the
saddle.
Lunch with the Clydesdale Cowboy in the
