what is going on everybody it is wednesday

that means my man cory leonard is in

the house we're here for wild wednesday

with cory changing it up um what's going

on man i'm not a whole lot brother

i didn't even know it was wild wednesday

that's a new one on me yeah getting

wild in this joint getting wild it's

getting a little little sideways as it

were

Not a whole lot, dude.

Got up same Wednesday morning schedule as

always.

Get up, go coach, come back.

Five-person class at five a.m.

My one-person class is six a.m.

Personal training by Corey.

It's not set up that way, though.

That's just how many people come for the

class?

Generally speaking, five a.m.,

depending on the workout,

that crew is either all in or half

of them are going to do something

different.

And this morning it was squat clean,

it was a ten rep max back squat,

and it was squat clean,

burpees over the bar, bike,

burpees over...

But it was sprint intervals,

like full-on one-minute sprints with a

one-minute break.

And the other four that were there were

like, no, we ain't doing that.

So I asked about the one-person classes,

like...

when I first started CrossFit,

we were a very, very,

very small gym and you'd show up some

days and you're the only car in the

parking lot.

And that one-on-one session with the

coach,

cause I didn't pay for personal training.

I was there to be with a class,

right?

I didn't like the personal surprise

one-on-one trainings where the coach has

nothing else to do,

but be eyes on you.

So I'll say this, uh,

The lady who was there at six a.m.,

that's where she comes.

She comes at six.

Like,

doesn't matter what else is going on.

And she's there at six o'clock.

It used to be that there was at

least three people in there since school

started.

One of those ladies has moved to five

a.m.

because she has to go back and get

her kids on the bus and stuff like

that.

So like six a.m.

was never a real big class.

There's always, you know, three, four,

five, maybe five people in it.

But Tracy's really,

really good about listening,

going through and doing what I tell her

to do or suggest for her to do,

I should say,

and lets me push her and get her

through.

Like she doesn't seem to mind.

So it's not that big a deal.

It's crazy because my first gym,

like there was actually like a business

that asked for a five a.m.

class.

And that business brought like twenty

people.

And so for consistency purposes,

you got about fifteen a day.

Yeah.

Then I go to Polaris and they're five

a.m.

and six a.m.

The schedule opens at eight p.m.

If you did not have your class reserved

by eight oh one, you didn't have it.

Wow.

On five, five a.m.

and six a.m.

our big classes are generally the

afternoon classes like five thirty

yesterday we had oh let's see one two

probably about eight to eight ten people

yesterday at five thirty five a.m like i

said it's a crap shoot there's either

eight people in there or there's four five

something like that and it really does

depend because that five a.m crew they

will they've been there forever one of

them literally since the door opened since

before the door opened actually jared

And they will literally look at the board

and go, what is that again?

And I'll go to explain to them, like,

yeah, we're not doing that.

We're going to do something on the other

side.

And then the other ones that just come

for class, I mean,

they come and they give what they got,

which is fun.

They're a fun group.

It's one of my fun – them and

Saturday mornings are my – that's two of

my favorite classes to coach.

Yeah.

Just because I know all of them.

And if you're there on Saturday morning,

generally speaking,

you're there because you want to be there.

it's not just because it's ingrained in

your routine.

Like, Oh, I just got off work.

I go to the gym or whatever.

Like if you're there on Saturday morning,

you're usually there because you want to

be.

And it's usually ends up being a good

time.

Yeah.

When I coached, um,

I coached the five AM,

six AM once a week.

And those were my guys, man.

Those are people that were my age.

They wanted to listen to my music.

Um, and we had a good time,

real good time.

But I personally, I've done them all.

Like I've tried to do the five AM.

I've tried to do six AM.

Um, I, but,

but where I'm most comfortable now at this

age is noon,

which is why we do the show.

And now I'm back to evenings, but it's,

um,

but evenings or noon are my comfortable

times.

Um, I'm so stiff in the morning,

like waking up,

like warmups are just brutal morning for

me.

once it gets cold or our version of

cold first time here yeah um i will

tell me about gold no no no no

code for us uh then yeah my morning

warm up you know what i mean i'm

two sessions a day

It takes a little bit longer because I

got to get blood flowing to all the

various parts and places and whatnot.

But right now, I didn't do that.

Same thing, dude.

I've been to every single class that we

have.

We used to have a six thirty.

I was a six thirty guy for a

very, very long time.

But my morning, morning, morning,

afternoon.

Sean Lenderman working out any time

besides five a.m.

is just wrong.

I don't know.

So.

this five AM squat club guy kept popping

up in the chat.

Right.

Yeah.

And I was like, what, what is this?

I don't, I, who is this?

We've been, uh, chatting.

DM wise and it's become a little community

and I guess some of the people in

our chat do this they get up and

they do these workouts with five a.m.

squat club on a YouTube video at five

a.m.

in the morning Eastern Time and and it's

become like a little club that shows up

every morning in a little mini community

and I think that's pretty freaking cool

awesome

That's awesome.

You can start something like that.

Other way.

A five a.m.

squat club split into my DMs.

Just let's make this.

Who is pursuing who?

Yeah.

That's awesome.

If you can get something like that to

catch on and stay being a thing,

you know what I mean?

Especially today's age.

That's pretty awesome if you can keep it

moving like that.

That's pretty cool.

I like that.

David Reed,

I would love to join at five p.m.,

but I'm sleeping.

At five a.m.

this morning, I'd already had breakfast,

had some caffeine,

and was starting to breathe.

Wrote everything on the board,

got the bikes out,

made the bucket with some soapy water to

wipe everything down,

got all the bikes out.

Yes, sir.

I am always the hunty.

in my dreams.

I wanted to update everybody on my mom

yesterday.

She fell at work right before the show.

She's doing well.

She's home.

Had a complete head scan done.

No bleeds, no fractures.

She did hit her head.

That was the big major concern.

Has a pretty good shiner over the left

eye.

And it's swollen up a little bit.

But she's doing well.

But here's my question to you.

Yeah, my mother is,

she's going to kill me.

She watches this show every day.

My mother is at an age where she

is so spry for her age.

Let's say that.

But she is at an advanced age.

She falls in a school.

She works at a school.

Hits her head off the floor.

Why the hell did they not call an

ambulance?

Right.

Transport her to the hospital.

That would seem to be a pretty,

pretty easy thing to do.

You don't have to call an ambulance.

You can call nine one one,

like three numbers.

They helped her off the floor and had

her friend come pick her up to take

her to the hospital.

No, no.

That is flat out irresponsible.

Yeah,

I'm going to say irresponsible is the word

I would use.

That's the word I would use.

If when she gets to the hospital,

their main concern is brain bleeds and

fractures.

Yeah.

She should have not been moved.

No.

She hit her head, first of all.

Yeah.

And she had a school.

She didn't bounce it off the carpet

anywhere.

That was off of probably solid stone at

that point.

So, yeah.

No,

the first thing I'm doing is calling an

ambulance.

Jesus Christ, dude.

Yeah.

Yeah,

so my nephew who lives here in Columbus,

he and I were not happy yesterday

afternoon.

No.

Shit, I'm not happy right now.

I don't live anywhere near Columbus.

And my mom's in Pennsylvania,

so we're like... Yeah, it's not a close...

Like, grab someone by the neck, you know?

And so he called and put in a

call to the superintendent of the school

district.

But we have not heard back yet.

Phone a friend is not an option if

an elderly lady falls and bounces her head

off of the floor.

It's not who wants to be a millionaire.

It's who wants to not.

That's infuriating.

It is.

So anyway, but I,

but she's doing well and,

and she listens every day.

And I know that reached out to me.

So just wanted to give an update to

that.

If anybody asks,

tell them you should see the other guy

and they ask about your black eye.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, I've got stories, man.

My mom is feisty, big, big feisty.

So, um,

Another thing I wanted to talk to you

about is yesterday we had our first pop

in the Masters age group.

Surprise, surprise.

A Brazilian.

Yearly, we... And that's the first, right?

Right.

So my question to you is,

what's the over-under for this year?

Five.

You think five?

Five.

Five, and I would take the over.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah.

Corey is a Brazilianist.

Listen,

I was chatting with someone yesterday and

I said,

it's crazy what's going on in Brazil,

right?

And I said,

do they put Tren on their Wheaties?

And

The response was they sell different

cereals.

They sell Chiribiotics.

I like that.

Cap Tren Crunch.

That's clever.

I like that one.

And Raisin Branivar.

I hope Hiller's watching because I feel

like he could do something with Raisin

Branivar.

Like, that's hilarious.

Cap, Trend, Crunch, and Raisin Branivar.

Those were my two favorites.

Yes, absolutely.

No, John George,

that lady was in fifth place that they

popped yesterday.

I know they go at least five.

Yeah, because that lady was in fifth,

so...

Oh, this is not isolated to Brazil.

It is not.

But they seem to lean into it more

than others.

From what I understand,

and I do not know that this for

a fact,

this is pure speculation and hearsay on my

point,

but it's they're very easy to get in

Brazil.

Like you can walk to a drugstore and

be like, let me get some of that.

Let me get some of that.

Let me get some of that and go

on about your business.

Not that that makes it right by any

stretch of the imagination, but it's like,

I wouldn't,

I wouldn't know who to call Scott.

I live in South Louisiana.

There's bodybuilders.

There's CrossFitters.

There's like name the thing.

I know all of them.

And I would not, first of all,

I wouldn't do it to begin with,

but even if I wanted to,

I wouldn't know who to ask.

Like, how do you, Hey man,

you got to get a cap trend crunch.

Yeah.

Like, I don't know.

It's not worth it.

It is not worth it,

not by a long shot.

First of all, your reputation is ruined,

period, right?

The only person we've seen come back

successfully tonight is Ricky Mack,

and that's because, as it turns out,

he's a lovable guy.

He's an idiot, but he's a lovable idiot,

right?

He's our idiot.

We will protect him.

He served his time.

He came back.

You're going to get blasted everywhere

humanly possible.

Your reputation is going to be ruined,

like I said.

And what are you actually doing to your

body long term?

I'm forty eight, dude.

I do not need any help making my

body any worse than it's going to be

later on down the road.

Chemically,

especially considering the shit I put in

my body when I was twenty something years

ago, twenty five years ago,

I didn't give a damn about what I

put in my body.

That was a whole different animal right

there.

I just don't.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Lito's got an excellent, excellent,

excellent question, but yeah.

I don't like to name out accusations,

but I will read it as someone is

clearly very good at not getting caught.

How are they be not being tested five

times a year?

That's a solid, solid question.

I think it is flat out cash.

It is that to go down and to

another country and do a test is much

more expensive than doing a test here in

the United States.

Right.

So regretfully,

it's very hard to catch them because the

expense is so high.

And as someone pointed out here, um,

She is a doctor,

so she knows the half-life,

and she knows all the time and everything.

I believe Hiller did a video about how

PEDs stay in women a lot longer than

they stay in men because of the way

their bodies are made up.

Very interesting video he did.

I don't believe she's on it anymore.

I believe she was on it.

So now her is going to be hard

at this, at this point in her career.

If, if that makes sense.

No, absolutely.

It absolutely does.

Um,

That was the Hillary you're talking about,

when he was talking about,

especially in women,

even if you've only run one cycle,

two cycles, whatever,

the long lasting effects from those two

cycles are gonna stick with you for years

and years and years and years down the

road.

More so in women than they do in

men.

So yeah.

So I think ever catching that person is

going to be very,

very hard to do because I think she's

already gained the effects of it and

doesn't need to do it as much anymore,

if at all.

I'll put it like this.

If said person does get popped,

it's going to be the duh herb around

the world because everybody in our space

is going to be like, well, yeah,

moving right along.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Ken Walters most of these drug testing

companies have locations all over the

world and doesn't HQ have country reps

that could accompany maybe I don't know

the details of that one time but I

seriously doubt that they do now with all

the cutbacks that they made and especially

with PE being people that's running it

right now they couldn't possibly give a

shit less there's no way yeah we know

Jenny

To sustain the muscle mass she sustains

year-round, though,

I don't see how that's possible with

female levels of testosterone.

Honestly,

I would have said the same thing until

Hiller explained it to me in a video

where he showed this woman who had stopped

using for a few years and still had

massive muscle to her body structure.

And I would even say, like,

I've seen Andrea Pinheiro over the years.

She is not as big as she was

two years ago.

But it is apparent she's still bigger than

most women,

and she still is getting the effects of

whatever was done at one time in her

life.

She's not only bigger than most women,

she's bigger than a lot of dudes I

know.

True.

Anyway, again, over under is five.

How many we had last year?

It was five or six last year,

wasn't it?

I knew we had the three people that

I interviewed and highlighted,

and then we had, I think,

a couple more on top of that.

I wish they drug tested me, Birch.

I really, really did.

I wish somebody would show up to my

office right now.

I would gladly go with them.

Look,

they're going to find Sour Pink Lemonade,

Ghost,

some banana chips and the protein uh the

first warm protein i had this morning uh

aaron fraser said liver king stopped peds

and still maintaining muscle okay i also

have a bridge in in brooklyn that i'd

like to sell you yeah he's he stopped

taking them yeah he stopped taking them

If I stop taking him,

you mean that he maybe got somebody else

to start giving them to him?

Oh, yeah.

No, she's definitely bigger than I am,

Birch.

I got you.

I wish they would.

Podcast ratings, if they came in,

you did it live.

I'm in.

Send somebody on down.

Send somebody on down.

Please do.

So have you seen Amanda Hari's interview

with Will?

I saw a clip from it this morning.

And by a clip from it,

I think that was it.

Yeah.

So I had it in my notes and

I wanted to talk today with you about

the PR problem that WFP has.

right and it had nothing to do with

amanda's interview and then i watched that

and i was like what the hell like

they can't even get out of their own

way that i think that's their biggest

problem right now right so what i was

going to start with is i was watching

boys interrupted last night and they're

basically saying that if the schedules

don't

work out better amongst the two,

they're going to have to make a choice.

And it seemed pretty obvious that their

choice was not WFP.

Correct.

And so with them for high-end athletes in

the CrossFit space saying that they would

most likely choose the CrossFit season

over WFP, that's a PR nightmare for WFP.

Big time.

If you're trying to grow and you lose

those four, you're effed.

And so that was my thought coming into

today.

Then when I saw that,

the thing with Amanda and Will and him

saying that,

She asked,

would you ever see the WFP as a

semifinal piece to the CrossFit Games

season?

And he said, no,

but I do see the CrossFit Games becoming

a tour stop on the WFP.

I'm going to need a second.

So breathe that in for a second.

Hold on,

let me get my wheel more at him.

Hold on.

Look at the ratings on the CrossFit Games.

Look at the ratings on any tour stop

you've had.

And I know we're not to the championship

yet.

Right.

Maybe I'm just delusional and Copenhagen

is going to blow it out of the

water and they're going to be right and

I'm going to be wrong.

But are you kidding me?

what kind of delusion do you have coming

in at this place and at this stature

to say that you,

the only way you think that there's going

to be some kind of working together is

if the games become a tour stop.

Bro.

That's like saying that the, the,

the adult soccer league that I used to

play in would be a great place.

great qualifier for the world cup or the

world cup rather would be a great

qualifier for the adult soccer league.

I used to play in like, yeah,

those guys are pretty good.

They could probably be part of our

tournament if they wanted to.

That being those college football playoffs

saying, Hey, why don't we,

we think that in the future,

the super bowl will be one of the

playoff games in the college football

playoff.

Yeah,

we might have to move it a little

bit because, you know,

they're not usually right around the same

time.

So we're going to have to move the

Super Bowl up a little bit to like

late December or something like that.

That way it doesn't interfere.

It can be part of the college football

season, the playoff season.

Yeah, Tega's right.

Will is DeLulu.

He has balls.

Got to admire it.

I wish, look,

he has the confidence of a fucking

three-year-old on a diving board.

Like, that's amazing.

I audibly laughed when he said that.

Yeah.

Proof you should start whatever business

you were thinking of and just be

delusional about success.

I...

Yesterday, I was trying to defend them.

I was trying to show what I thought

they were trying to achieve.

The PR nightmare I thought they had with

four top athletes saying,

if it comes down to it,

and this year was tough enough,

if they had more events,

we're probably going to have to make some

decisions.

The PR nightmare that that brought last

night to then this morning seeing...

Yeah, we're good.

In fact,

we're so good that the thing that's been

here for twenty years,

we're hoping that they become just a tour

stop for us.

We've been here not even a full year

yet.

We've been here not even a full year

yet.

But yeah,

I think the games could be a tour

stop.

Maybe tour stop two.

Again, I admire the man's confidence.

Sean in Oregon,

fake it till you make it.

Justin seemed very hesitant about next

year.

The clip I saw of Justin, yes,

he was very like... I thought James,

that's the one that surprised me.

Because James has performed well at the

two tour stops.

And he took third at the games.

He took first at Waterpalooza.

And he seemed very,

very suspicious about next season being

workable.

Especially,

didn't they say they were adding another

one?

Another stop?

They are adding another stop.

Yeah, so you're adding another stop.

You got semifinals.

Quarterfinals are back.

All they, everybody has to do that.

So you, you got the open,

you got quarterfinals,

you got in-person semifinals plus however

many tour stops these guys are going to

do.

Plus if these guys,

like if however many take from semifinals,

now you have to compete at one,

you might have to compete at another one.

If you don't make the first one that

you go to,

you don't make the games on the first

shot.

You might do another one.

That's a lot, dude.

Um,

people are asking, did he really say that?

And it may be just the Brian friend

thing.

I don't know.

I can't read sarcasm in text,

but it's right here.

Let me,

hopefully I can get the volume on fast.

A CrossFit Games semifinal event.

This is crazy.

I could see maybe in some world the

Games becoming a part of our season and

one of our main tours because we have

the exact same roster.

But who knows?

Yeah,

I think that would be awesome to have

the Games as one of the tours.

There could be a possibility of becoming a

CrossFit Games.

There it is.

Pause.

Because we have the exact same roster.

No, you don't.

No, you don't.

You don't.

You don't have the exact same roster.

So what CrossFit is saying, or yeah,

there you go.

David Reed,

all sports work around their marquee

event.

Diamond League, as an example,

works around the Olympics.

He has will not watch sports.

World Cups every four years.

Every soccer league on the planet shuts

down during World Cup because that's

what's going on.

It doesn't matter what else is happening.

When the World Cup comes around,

every other...

When they moved it to the winter in

Qatar, everything gets shut down.

And in what world...

Will has everyone talking about this

event, so he's getting pretty solid PR.

If you look at it from that perspective,

from all PR is good PR,

even if they're talking shit about you,

then yeah, absolutely.

I would one hundred percent agree with

that.

I do think that there's some truth to

that,

but I don't think the juice is worth

the squeeze.

No, no.

when you have PR that's not positive,

you need to then spin it in a

way that works for you.

They don't have anybody that's spinning

any of this stuff.

And I made a comment on Amanda's video

that when she asked about some of the

complications of the season,

he just kept comparing it to F-one.

And I think that the big problem that

their people have is they have never

simplified what the season is.

It's always comparing it to golf,

comparing it to tennis,

comparing it to F-one and a point season

structure.

There are tons and tons of people in

this space that have never watched F one,

never watched golf and never watched

tennis.

So you keep comparing it to those sports

does not help them understand the system.

I watched tennis when my mom was playing

tennis.

when I was in junior high and high

school,

when she was playing tournaments around

here, because she liked it.

And when it came off,

when it was on, if the U.S.

Open was on, whatever,

that's the only time.

But to follow an entire season, no.

F-one, pretty cool.

If I see that a race is on

and there's nothing else on there, sure,

I'll watch an F-one race for a couple

laps, whatever.

I like cars.

That's about the extent of it.

maybe we're not thinking about this the

right way.

CrossFit makes perfect sense here.

To be fair,

the Mighty Ducks went from Minnesota youth

hockey to the Goodwill Games.

So it can be done in a Disney

movie.

It can be done in a Disney movie.

uh tristan patrick side note on f-one i

started watching drive to survive and that

is lit it really is but i don't

have to sit through the whole race what

i love about drive to survive it gives

me all the drama that goes on without

having to sit through cars going around in

a circle yeah far around the road course

and i don't know if it's still this

way but the

when I was semi paying attention to what

was going on in F one,

like there's not a whole lot of passing.

So it's like you qualify.

Cool.

Don't wreck.

Stay out in front from where you

qualified.

You're probably going to end up winning

race pit stops and whatnot aside.

So it's not super exciting to watch for

someone who doesn't give a shit about it.

Like we'll watch it if it's only because

I like sports.

What you don't see in the racing and

you see in this Drive to Survive series

are teammates that are pissed because the

other one's getting more favorable

treatment than the other,

so they slam into each other on the

track, and then they're both out.

Things like that.

That's what makes it exciting to watch.

That I could get by.

John George.

I think he's just hurting the credibility

of the project.

I mean, league.

Am I the only one...

alone in thinking this, I should say,

is that how long do we call it

a project?

A project is something that you see

through from start to finish.

If I would be building a deck at

my house,

that's a project that I'm working on.

When the deck's done,

there's no more deck,

so the project's over with.

Can we call it something else?

The World Fitness League, perhaps?

Maybe a WFL?

That probably would make a whole lot more

sense.

Maybe I'm thinking too much into it.

I think that's the least of their problems

at this point.

I agree.

I agree.

It just, it doesn't,

it doesn't sound like,

like a world fitness project to me sounds

like let's get everybody in the world into

fitness.

Like that's, that's what WF,

like world fitness project.

I want to get the world fit.

It doesn't scream fitness racing to me.

I don't know.

See, me and Tristan is like,

locks his car doors if he hears he's

near a project.

That's a fact.

That is a fact.

I'm not disagreeing that the name is

awful, but honestly,

that's probably number seventy-two on the

list of things that need fixed.

A hundred percent.

A hundred percent.

That just solidifies the fact that me and

Tristan were separated at birth.

It's fine.

Yeah, that's a scary proposition there.

That's my dude, man.

oh anyway what else we got uh that's

why i put it that i yeah uh

he wants a league but calls it a

project i'm with you corey yeah so uh

uh um tour stop three will be the

crossfit games in albany

Oh, yes.

Did you see?

Yeah,

you caught coffee pods a lot yesterday

with Pat.

About halfway through.

So same.

I started it.

I came over here to watch you,

hang out with you,

and I went and caught the tail end

of it after you got off.

I want to say how you can be

involved in something on the level that

Pat seems is seemingly involved in and no,

almost nothing about it or not have any

of the,

like no other stuff that everybody else

seems to know.

Well, I don't know.

Well, I don't know.

Well, and just kept like,

you can't be immune to criticism if you're

going to be part of anything.

Right.

Whatever you're in,

if you're going to be a part of

it, then chances are better not.

It doesn't matter what it is.

You could be feeding homeless children.

At some point,

somebody is going to criticize you for

doing it one way or the other.

And you can't just be, well,

everybody's just hating on me.

Well, everybody's just hating on us.

Well, everybody's just hating on us.

No, they're not.

This show is a perfect example.

Whenever they first announced that they

were a thing,

Savannah was another good example.

Hey, this sounds cool.

Let's check it out.

And then the more they got exposed as

to what they were actually doing,

I hate using that word expose,

but I don't know a better way to

put it.

Once it got rolling and people didn't

understand it and they started making

missteps here, there and yonder,

whatever it is,

and people are just pointing out the fact.

Hey,

Austin almost lost his balls in the middle

of a workout.

Ricky had two bikes break on him in

this same workout, right?

Your point structure is kind of weird.

We don't understand it.

You know, just all the lighting,

whatever else you want to call it.

And instead of going, yep,

we acknowledge those things.

We're not, you know,

Pat's on there yesterday and just going,

well,

people just hate on it for no reason.

People just hate on it for no reason.

no, that's not really what's happening.

And I can't imagine living with my head

in the sand like that for an extended

period of time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I, I, again,

I apparently I'm not to the angry, uh,

Pat part that happens.

You're going to eat the last ten minutes

or so.

That's ten, fifteen minutes.

It was, uh, it was interesting.

I'll leave it at that.

Let's finish that up this afternoon.

But I wanted to get through some of

the,

like the Amanda stuff this morning and

boys interrupted was way,

way more interesting than I,

with it being the off season,

like it's hard finding like interesting

topics in the sport piece of whatever this

is.

And I cannot wait till Sunday night to

talk about their discussion on the GHD and

I don't know if,

did you see Boys Interrupted?

No.

So apparently, you know,

Hopper does the most beautiful GHDs you've

ever seen.

Very nice.

And he was almost apologizing for his

technique on the GHD.

But they're beautiful.

And James is our trash.

He's so thing.

Yeah.

It's they don't look good at all.

No.

And so I guess James put a tape

mark like they did at syndicate crown on

his GHD.

So to make sure his butt was behind

the line and he said, wow,

those are way harder.

so there was a discussion about that that

has been carolyn privo's like biggest pet

peeve of this season i swear to god

and i cannot wait to get her her

topic on that but back on the wfp

and i've got to go in a couple

minutes because i have a one o'clock

meeting um uh savannah i agree pat is

such a victim we have thrown a hundred

that a hundred times more criticism at the

crossfit games than wtf yeah i mean i've

criticized both

And if there's something that they do

well, I say what they do well.

But all that the people supporting the WFP

want to hear is the negative stuff and

then to go trumpet their horns that

they're defending the WFP.

That's the big problem.

Nobody is looking at it with a critical

eye.

They're just...

They're doing everything perfect.

Like the statement that Will made that the

games are going to be a tour stop.

Because they're so good that the CrossFit

Games should just come on over.

Hey,

this thing that's been around for twenty

years should definitely be a part of the

thing that we just started six months ago.

That's one hundred percent a thing.

That's my boy.

That is my boy.

It's so dumb.

So dumb.

And then the last thing I'm going to

say is all the promised and innovative

media that they were going to come out

with

They have nothing in the space that gets

the views and the likes of the people

that are here.

Savon, Hiller, Coffee Pods and Wads,

all of them.

They get shit tons of views.

WFP has put nothing out that gets anything

close to that.

Why?

And then the place that could help promote

you, you just keep dogging.

That part blows my mind.

You just keep dogging.

It'd be like if you were a new

startup league and you started dogging

ESPN.

Yeah.

I want to start a new sports news

channel.

And the first thing you did was get

on and say how shitty ESPN was.

Their coverage is terrible.

Really?

Because they covered everything.

I've literally seen cornhole tournaments

and tag on ESPN.

They literally hired the buttery bros and

said innovative and new and unique and let

them do the same thing they've always

done.

And look,

kudos to Mars and Hebrew because what they

do, they are very, very good at.

They've been doing the exact same thing.

since however long they've been making

videos whenever they started doing the

brotherly road stuff and but it is one

hundred percent recycled every single

state every single episode of one of

whatever they do which is fantastic like

if that's what that's what cool awesome

but to say that they're new and innovative

by any stretch of imagination is not a

thing all right i got a meeting in

three minutes yes sir get on it and

yeah and it's with an outside source so

i've got to get going

So, guys, we'll be back tomorrow.

I'm sure we'll talk more about this.

Maybe we'll have Corey back because we had

a short Corey show this week.

But we'll be back tomorrow with all that

business.

And then I'm on the Crisp Easterfield

podcast tomorrow as well at three p.m.

Eastern time.

With that,

we'll see everybody next time on Lunch

with the Clydesdale.

Bye, guys.
