My kids are like. Today was the first day like they were. They're still man. They're still wounded. Still wounded. Everyone I'm talking to their kids had six weeks of coughs.

It's crazy. Six, eight weeks of coughs. This one friend of mine has had coughs since December. What is going on? Mooney, seven looking gangster and all black this is actually like a camo filson waxed hat it's like a winter hat i don't know why i'm wearing it now i've had it for like five years i've never worn it and i just started wearing it eric cootley uh blasphemy i haven't been able to watch live much lately either. Disgusting. The channel's doing bigger and better and greater than ever.

So we don't need you, Eric. We don't need you. No, we need you, Eric. Zachary Kadat's daily training. What's up, everyone? I got to save for three minutes so it counts as a view before I go to bed. Then you get another view when I watch it tomorrow. Oh, you got to save for three minutes. Okay. Is a view before I go to bed. Then you get another view when I watch it tomorrow. Oh, you got to stay for three minutes.

Okay. Is that how it works? Three minutes is a view? All right. No, I was not away from home for a month. I was away from home for three days. But my kids haven't been training. Like, my kids, that's what they do.

Their whole life is training. They haven't they haven't they've they've just not been doing that lifestyle in a month. You know, it's weird, too, is, you know, I have three boys at home. So there's a lot of like fighting at home, not bad fighting, but just like, you know, ass grab. They chase each other around the house, pushing, shoving, crying, wrestling, a lot of games for three weeks. I can't remember one kid crying like there was just no like no one was getting like just putting a headlock and slam to the ground for three weeks it was nuts i i miss that shit uh curious uh i'm here for the blue light fix before bed smart nice arm geez

Yeah, boy shit Seven are you cured from lice yet? I actually I don't think I ever had lice personally I Just shaved my head I think my wife had it and one of my kids had it for sure and then just me and the boys just went out in the back and Shaved her head, so I don't I don't know and then just me and the boys just went out in the back and shaved our heads. So I don't know. But since that first day, we spotted it. Like there's been no sightings and no scratching.

No scratching. Thursday. No, Saturday, kill Taylor. Quarterback of the Chicago Bears will be here on the panel. Tyson Bajan. Can you believe it? Yeah, this show is cool. I know. Jordan Blunt, what shirt would you like to see your fans wearing at the games? Oh, Nelly.

You know what I'd really like to do? I'd like to spend fucking $10,000 on CEO shirts. I'd like to spend... I'd like to get... I don't know how much the cheapest you can get shirts for if you buy them for $10,000. But I'd like to spend $10,000 on CEO shirts and get 1,000 shirts, if that's doable.

I don't know if it is. And I'd like to have a sign out there that just says... with like a Venmo, and you just take a shirt says with like a Venmo and you just take a shirt. It's a large and you just take a shirt and and you Venmo the ten dollars cash. You know, I mean, just like there's just someone handing them out and then maybe they hand you a piece of paper with like the Venmo code or there's a piece of cardboard there and you just take a picture of it. That's what I would fucking love that. I would love that. No, Travis doesn't get a major boner because like he gives me such a great deal.

He probably didn't make a fucking cent off me. But I would really like that I just like seeing CEO shirts it's cool I get a little embarrassed when I'm in person when I see him but when I'm watching TV and I see him go across the screen I'm like hell yeah Kill Taylor shirts are awesome

got my preorder in yeah these shirts are cool I actually got a compliment on this today from just some stranger let's go get special ones for us going to the games for the seven east's gathering night Heidi did a great job organizing that last year You know what I you know what I want to do i'll tell you guys this really quick before I start the show Don't tell anyone this, okay? Please don't tell anyone this.

I don't even know if I'm allowed to. I don't know what Susan's going to think about me sharing this. And I probably shouldn't share it. I never had scabies. I had crabs In college So Greg has built this gym It's not done yet It's at the back of his house

You should get a Kill Taylor shirt If you participated You should it's not done yet. It's at the back of his house. You should get a kill Taylor shirt. If you participated, you should, but it's, it's not, I don't know. You should. Jamie,

text me, text me your address. You deserve a kill Taylor shirt and what size you are. So Greg, Greg is built this gym behind his house he's a broken science event there it's massive it's a basketball it's a basketball court and then with all these rooms around it right like just like a pottery room music room sound studio kitchen it's in the back of his uh new house it's massive and he he's putting in 12 ropes in there

and like 12 sets of rings and 12 squat racks and just the whole fucking thing, right? And I was thinking as more than thinking. I was planning. I was thinking as more than thinking. I was planning. I was planning.

Oh, you got a Kill Taylor shirt. That's awesome. I'm glad you got one, Pool Boy. Yeah, Sarah Cox and CA Peptides printed out 100 of them for us. That's cool. Heptides printed out a hundred of them for us. That's cool. So I want to do a,

uh, like a seven on podcast invitational and do it at, do it at Greg's gym. Just have it be a Saturday and Sunday and only let a hundred people come watch it at 500 bucks a pop. So you pay 500 bucks, you get to come there two days in a row. And then if we don't sell any tickets, it doesn't matter. I don't care either. You know?

But you get to hang out, and it's just dope. So that would be, like, what is that? 500 times 100 tickets. If we sold 100 tickets, that's $50,000. And then give that away as the prize money Ken Walters I'm in and there's a little bit more there would be a

Greg's house in Scottsdale the house is in Scottsdale in Arizona not sell tickets please no sell tickets because I really don't want anyone there unless they like like you got it I just want to be like like just complete cult members you know what I mean it's like a cult member uh it's it's a um yeah Cathedral of Broken Science that would be a great name for it oh that's a great name cathedral of broken science for the building yeah the broken science event inside the cathedral was amazing that's why i should start calling it a cathedral i'm going to text greg that uh cross fat came up with that

wow cathedral that's amazing uh greg i'm gonna text greg that you don't do you mind if i take credit for that cross that um uh your gym in scottsdale is the cathedral of bsi capital c right capital C, right? Church of Greg. So Dick Butter, cult member. Yeah, fine. And then, so then basically, and then we would have two qualifying events for the Savon Invitational.

And then we would set up, and then we would have the Kill Taylor crew there. Taylor would be there, Tyler, Pedro, and me. And we'd all be sitting on a bench with just like a sheet over it, like the Kill Taylor show. And we'd just talk shit during the entire fucking broadcast. And then all the athletes get like a thousand bucks stipend for coming. And then there's big prize money because we raised all this money. And you get to come to Greg's house,

which I'm telling you like, you'll be so stoked. It'll be such a wild party. It's such a, it's so fun. Ask anyone who's there, who've been to them. Ask Heidi. Heidi went to the last party.

Genius, thank you. Have a couple qualifying events at affiliates. J.R. Howell's event. Crash Crucible. J.R. Howell's event. Crash Crucible. Anyway. Podcast comments are your IP. Oh, thank you. God, I feel like I know who you are now.

Wow, I just figured out who CrossFat is. that's crazy you know what gave it away only one person would come up with the cathedral of BSI and your name CrossFat that's wild I normally don't try to figure out who anyone is

but that's crazy I just figured it out that's nuts alright good to have you here love you I normally don't try to figure out who anyone is, but that's crazy. I just figured it out. That's nuts. All right. Good to have you here. Love you. Absolutely bonkers.

Okay. Dave Castro Weekend Review. Let's get the show started. I'm going to lower my mic so his is a little louder. And. Oh, and then the IP comment. The IP comment ip comment i mean it was the triple that was the triple crown cross fat of things the name the knowing the knowledge about the ip and then calling it cathedral Anyway wouldn't that be cool Isn't that a cool idea

You qualify Crucible And then one more event Maybe in Livermore Hosted by the Broadcasted by the host of Kill Taylor Monday June 10th. I'm going to do this one a little differently.

Typically, when I do these, right before I do them, I skim through the comments and select some, isolate them, and then address them. The way I'm going to do it this time is I have over here on my other screen the last week's video and I have all the comments sorted by top comments and I'm just going to kind of spend a few minutes going through them so as I read them this cross fat is not rosemary I do I do not have airplane lung

although the airplane was what the ride today in this plane was wild it was wild. It was wild. It was like being on fucking Noah's Ark. This is definitely the first time I've seen most of these comments. First, before that, though, a couple quick little points. Last week, I trained LAPD SWAT snipers, a couple of them. Really honored to do that. LAPD SWAT snipers, a couple of them. Really honored to do that.

LAPD, that SWAT team is kind of known as the first ever SWAT team in the nation. And still to this day is highly regarded as one of the best tactical teams out there. So it was an incredible honor to support them and give back and share some of my knowledge. And I helped them become better at their job. So Dave got a second screen. We're watching this at 1.25 time. He did not print out the comments this week and he is

just reading them, I guess, for the first time from newest to oldest or most popular. He put them in some order. And I didn't know he had a second screen. I think he has an iMac. So now he's upped his game. His audio is good.

His complexion looks great. And whether he does it on purpose or not, that's quite the flex. The LA SWAT team is coming out to visit you. You're a boss. Like a real boss. So that was a big thing that meant a lot for me. And I do all of this. I train the LEO or the cops that you guys see me train or pretty much any of the military or LEO you see me train. I'm doing it for free. I'm doing it just to give back and to support them in the job and

support what they do for us, what they do for the local communities and in the military case, what they do for us as a nation. So I was really excited and happy about that one. Great group of guys. Had a lot of fun. Hope to work with them again in the future. Service Cup is also... Did he post any pictures on his Instagram? I want to see that.

Instagram. The Dave Castro. $758,000 Oh shit, he did. Wow. Okay. Let's take a look Here's Dave Castro with a couple guys from the LA SWAT team a service cup workout Number two Randy's 75 pound snatches for time. Randy was the LAPD SWAT officer who died in the line of duty over a decade of go I remember that a pretty cool to do the workout today alongside current LAPD SWAT officer who died in the line of duty over a decade ago. I remember that. Pretty cool to do the workout today alongside current LAPD SWAT officers.

The big guy beat me. The big guy beat me. And, oh, so he can't give his name. But ironically, for those of you in the woke racist crowd, I do believe Randy was black. He was not gay or a woman. So he checks one box. Or a tranny or a pedo. So that's cool.

All right. Taking care of that. Got in some political commentary and some attacks on the racist woke crowd. I always like to do that. Back to the show at hand. It's cool Dave does that for free too.

Crazy cool. Okay, where are we? Do you think they prayed before? Do you think they prayed before they did the workout? Oh, shit. I'm not sharing the right screen. Oh. Could you hear it? Could you hear the audio?

Thank you, Will. See, look at Will. That's why Will makes the big bucks. Could you talk about awkward pause? Could you guys hear the audio? Yes? No? No. Shit. Level one.

Big thing that meant a lot for me. And I do all of this. I train the LEO or the cops in the nation. And still to this day is highly regarded as one of the best tactical teams out there. So it was an incredible honor to support them and give back and share some of my knowledge and help them become better at their job. So that was a big thing that meant a lot for me. And I do all of this. I train the LEO or the cops that you guys see me train or pretty much any of the military or LEO you see me train, I'm doing it for free. I'm doing it just to give back

and to support them in their job and support what they do for us, what they do for the local communities and in the military case, what they do for us as a nation. So I was really excited and happy about that one. Great group of guys, had a lot of fun. Hope to work with them again in the future.

Service Cup is also going on. I got my Service Cup t-shirt on. I did all three workouts. So I finished Kelly yesterday and had a 25-minute time cap on it. Did not finish within the time cap. Really, that was a good one. It was tough. Randy, I did the day before. And what's cool about Randy is Randy is made for an LAPD SWAT officer. And what was super cool is I did that here at the ranch with those two SWAT operators side by side with them in doing a hero workout that was made for a fellow team member. That workout, I remember we were flying to a level one in Charlotte and Greg and I, Greg Glassman, were in the shuttle from the airport to the rental car place. And he was talking to me about Randy,

who had just been killed in the line of duty. And he said talking to me about Randy, who had just been killed in the line of duty. And he said he wanted to make a hero workout for him. And we started kind of going back and forth on potentials and anchored off of the idea of something like Isabel or Grace, but lighter weight and higher rep. And that's what took us to this place of Isabel 75 or not to Isabel to Randy from Isabel, but we wanted to go lighter and faster, especially because at the time there's even nowadays people always biased towards going heavier with weight and increasing, especially on the Olympic lifts, increasing the weight rather than reducing and increasing reps. So that's kind of the train of thought as we're

discussing it and how we got to 75 reps and then 75 pounds. And it's a cool workout. So anyways, I did that one in like 617. I'm actually thinking about redoing it today, this afternoon. The window is still open. So if you haven't signed up and you want to do it, the window is still open for another few days. And then I did the first one. The first one, the really good workout, a really good CrossFit workout, just kind of like pure classic CrossFit. I think I might work that one into my collection of workouts I'd like to repeat to kind of measure my fitness, or maybe a shorter variant of that one to measure my current fitness level. So I'm thinking about redoing that one too. The thrusters, I started off not aggressive enough.

I should have only broke them up once. I broke them up a few times. And actually, same thing on Kelly at the deadlift. I forgot how strong I have been. I forgot how strong I can be. And so I was afraid to be strong on Kelly with the T75 deadlifts. The first set I broke up three times. Then the second set I broke up twice. And then the third set I just did unbroken. I haven't repped out weight like that for a long time. So I kind of had to retell myself. I still have the ability to do that. So I'm really enjoying them. I really, I have no issue. This whole redo people like get all, have all this pride around doing the workout once and then not doing it again, especially during the open, but even during something like this, I have no issue repeating them. And honestly,

the next two days of workouts, if I feel physically, like I've recovered enough from the others, we'll probably just be those again. So I did my last three workouts were Daniel, which was the first one, Randy, which was the second one, Kelly, which was the third one. I might do Randy again today and then maybe Daniel. I don't know if I'll redo Kelly, but I like to – I want to see my own improvement. I, of course, want to climb up the leaderboard, but if I do something and see areas where I can improve on it, like Randy, I think I should be under six minutes. I did it in like 6.17, so I'd like to try it with a different strategy break up earlier and and get under six being the high fives so in that in that regard i'm competing against myself and i want to push myself to do

better than i did in the first time so uh the institutional knowledge that he brings when he tells us the history of randy and being in the car with greg and coming up to work out. Those stories, each time we lose someone who was at CrossFit when Greg was there, will vanish. And the value in those stories is massive. Massive, massive, massive. We don't want to lose those stories. We don't want to lose those people in the community

who have those stories. Institutional knowledge is huge. No issue with repeats. And I don't think in our community, people should get all have so much pride around not repeating some of these tests, especially on the online environment. That's the format we create. And that's the luxury you have with the online. It's interesting because when you look at even the progression down to the games, you have this online where you can do as many times as you want in the open. Then you have semifinals, which are regionals in years past, which we put out the workouts ahead of time and give them an ability to repeat those a few times. But then they can only perform it on game day once.

And so it's going from you have as many opportunities as you want to on game day once with a little rehearsal. Then at the games, a majority of them are unknown and you have one shot at them without having practiced or rehearsed anything. Okay, so let's jump into comments in this new format where I'm just reading them from top to bottom. We are cruising through this show. Haven't seen them before. I am Fanny Spiegel. PDC, always appreciate weekend reviews and review of the weekend review on the Savant Podcast.

Thank you. At Bern1808, Hi Dave, I want to discuss the coverage of CrossFit as a sport. While we are passionate fans here and enjoy delving into all aspects of the sport,

it is evident that the general public struggles to connect with it. Although you've emphasized the importance of making events exciting to watch, the current coverage can sometimes be hard to follow and lacks the informative graphics, discussion of metrics, and broad perspective found in other sports

broadcasting. Have you considered looking at how other sports handle their coverage for inspiration, improving understanding, and promoting the appeal of individual athletes, events, and CrossFit's unique methodology and history could significantly boost interest and growth? If you build it, they will come, but no pressure, Dave. Thank you for your continued dedication to our sport. Yeah, absolutely. Everything you're saying is spot on. But graphics, it's crazy. At the games, you'll see more built-out graphics than we do at the semi-final level,

but it's really wild how expensive that stuff is. And so doing more of that, of course, is something we've thought about and should be doing. Some of the other things you're talking about are lower-hanging fruit, and we should be able to execute on in a more nimble way. But we as much as we can, we will keep attempting to drive the coverage forward and make it better.

We're always thinking about ways and so are the Hamilton Roads, the people we contract with, our team, our media marketing team, everybody is thinking about ways to move it forward but again you know there's a some of the stuff doesn't come um it's not free that's for sure so we will continue i don't think any of those things are important man i don't think any of those things are important it's like it's like picking a wife based on her fake eyelashes and the way she looks when you met her at the bar. I don't think any of those things are important. How about we distill down exactly what the definition of sport is and what the definition of competition is and just right there, just try to show that it's a competition and what does that mean that means there's one no two or more people racing and we know who's in first place and by how much

that's it how about we just execute on that how about you show us the people who are racing and where they are in perspective to the people they're racing against? And then you have the commentators talk about that so that we just know where they are. Nothing doesn't even have to be fancy. Lane number two with the black shirt and thong on is in second place right behind first place who's wearing the white hat and in purple. They're one second apart. This workout should take them 10 minutes. In the last three workouts, the guy in purple has won two of them. They're neck and neck. Third place is two minutes behind and has no chance of winning it unless the first two have a catastrophic mistake.

That's it. That's it. Like, how about just start there? Just one nice wide angle shot where we can like follow the fucking horses. That's it. I don't need, I don't need fancy graphics i haven't watched high rocks in a long time but i watched it a couple years ago it is substantially worse its coverage than even crossfit it's so it was it was so bad the fix the fix the the the fix just to show it's a race

Like when I used to watch strongman, it was so easy and granted there were only like, you know, two lanes And guys would go into a hollowed out car and pick it up and walk with it and you knew who was in first And then they had a little clock on the bottom with the record time and what these guys time was and that's it So if there were guys in different heats, you knew what the fucking' time was. And that's it. So if there were guys in different heats, you knew what the fucking winning time was. That's it. It's that simple. I don't need anything else. You need to look at it.

At Brad Anderson, 3241. Good evening, Dave. Thank you so much for the Service Cup. It has been an amazing community event and hope it continues. Right on your heels with one more to go. I started with Randy, then Kelly Brown. So just need to do three pull-ups at the end of Daniel to pass you. Let me know how you do. Uh, Enrique three, one, three, two Wilson. That's cool.

That's super cool. So someone in the comments is like, dude, I'm going to beat you. And it's this close. That's that's the competition. Now we know guy in comments next workout. I just need three reps to beat you. There you go. There's some competition description.

We can follow that. Now we want to know next week. Did the guy get the three reps? Wilson is a great team leader. He makes volunteers feel special. Randy, then Kelly Brown. So just need to do three pull-ups at the end of Daniel to pass you. Let me know how you do.

At Enrique3132, Wilson is a great team leader. He makes volunteers feel special. Awesome. Talking about Wilson and Pac out at Syndicate Throwdown. At SayWordsForest. At Enrique3132, Wilson is a great team leader, he makes volunteers feel special. Awesome. Talking about Wilson Pak out at Syndicate Throwdown. At SayWordsForest, Dave, great to meet you this weekend in Knoxville. Thanks for taking time for a picture. This is my first time attending semis and I'm headed to Fort Worth.

I sat on the first row behind the staff tables and it was super interesting to watch the staff and VODs deeply involved in reviewing standards and some of the tough judging decisions that were made. Even though there were some missed calls, there was also a lot of tough calls that were spot on, although devastating to watch. Watching the team work provided greater context to all the behind the scene attention and diligence in running the event. Boz was taking a ton of notes, which I'm sure will be provided for better improvements.

Thanks all. Love my EVOO and the weekend review. Well, thank you for the response. What's an EVVO? What's an EVVO? Anyway, maybe it's a gun. Hey, that is the thing. If you go to the event, the energy is so good and it's so hard to be negative there.

Like being at the games is so amazing. Being at the West Coast Classic was so amazing. It's such a great event. The vibe there is so good. The people are so good. It's such a warm, healthy environment. So this guy felt the CrossFit love, the community love. Sponsor.

So my EVOO, Extra Virgin Olive Oil. TDCmercantile.com. You can pick up some there. TDCmercantile.com. T-D-C-M-E-R-C-A-N-T-I-L-E.com. My personal stash. Damn, I'm going to finish this bottle soon. Just from drinking it on shows.

Comes in different flavors. I highly recommend the garlic. So I have some leather products that I built yesterday or put together yesterday. New keychains. And they're on the site available for purchase and still have some belts available. So if you want any of that stuff, tdcmercantile.com. tdcmercantile.com.

At Polga 90P. Hi, Dave. Is there any status update on the old CrossFit Journal webpage status? It's been broken for years. I believe the CrossFit Journal is HQ's crown jewel. It should be a priority to have it up and running and promoting it everywhere. Working on it, I agree. It should be up and running or some form of it or something like that.

Hopefully we can get something similar, if not that, out there again. The CrossFit Journal. The preeminent guide in how to operate your fucking body. More valuable than the fucking L1 or any affiliate or any games or anything. The Guide of Guides.

Anyway. There's just the journal. The whole journal situation is just tragic. Tragic. It's such an easy. I think we were making $2 million a year in memberships. So easy. And it's a great just repository of everything you talk about CrossFit.

So then you don't have to go to fucking Barbell Spin for all the fucking real information. Austin Hartman, I love this show. Yeah, who doesn't? the show's awesome thank you oh shit pool boy what's crazy is pornhub has a link to the journal huh fair enough one-stop shop okay i'm over the journal thank you jeffrey i appreciate your uh oh oh oh oh hold on what is this a journal dot oh yeah maybe that's what it used to be crossfit.com oh yeah there it is okay here it is thank you jeffrey what a stud see old people can

do things okay look at this this is the last thing in the journal. And I remember when they got rid of the whole entire media team, I was racing to finish Killing the Fat Man Season 2. God, this is so sad. Here it is, the journal. Look at the day Fat Justin died. Breaking the nutrition barrier. Diabetic dad levels up. I think this dude died.

Junior Smithens. Obese to level one. What exercise the science can learn from CrossFit? Chuck Carswell. Chuck Carswell. Amazing, right? Look at all this fucking content. Guy holding a girl's butt.

I went Jasmine Zaid Weighed 436 pounds when his thoughts turned towards The macabre Look at a mental health Mental health piece So sad So easy to get back

So fucking easy to get back So easy to get back so fucking easy to get back so easy to get back how do i get this screen back uh there we go okay here we go we can review at station fitness gym 916 just a thought all those games phone boxes at semi-final could possibly have a games or sponsored logo on them. Yeah, so they have – that's an interesting suggestion, but I don't think – so Bill supplies the equipment. So the only sponsors that are going to – Bill and Rogue – that like they're going to be on there is either Rogue or CrossFit. So I don't think we or Rogue necessarily view putting more sponsors on their equipment as a way to go. Cause then also it then muddies.

So then does that sponsor have to also support Rogue or we definitely couldn't do it without Rogue's permission. So a lot more to it than just like, yeah, it'd be cool to slap on some logos there. Chris Bonkovic, always appreciate the insight in the community. Keep up the good work. Thank you. Mitch Collins, 2947. These are excellent. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for these updates. Laura Beningo, 5720.

John Goldbeck, 5346. Thanks for making the time. Chris Stolbaca, 1495. Hey, Dave. Thank for all you do. Love the olive oil. Another one. Thank you. And love the key chain I purchased. The leather work is fantastic, and it means more because we know you made it. tdcmercantile.com

tdcmercantile.com. T-D-C-M-E-R-C-A-N-T-I-L-E.com. Get your olive oil and leather goods. So all that stuff I talked about earlier, I make. The olive oil, I buy from a local olive oil producer 30 minutes down the road. His orchard is 30 minutes from the ranch. And then I take it and have it bottled about an hour south of here. He has his process. So when he picks it, he has it processed about 45 hour south of here. He has his process. So when he picks it, he has it processed

about 45 minutes south of here. So the entire process of the olive oil, the chain of custody is all local. And which is pretty cool because olive oil, the olive oil industry is incredibly corrupt. And often when you think you're buying extra virgin olive oil, it's been cut with other oils. So they get more yield out of the given amount that they have, the given existing amount that they have. There was a comment in here. Uh, not this one. Uh, fit comedy.

The show reminds me of the internet for seniors class. I would volunteer for, uh, the DEI council would have to spend too much time looking over all the articles to remove things that are offensive. Uh, are offensive they don't require a link to the journal anymore i made an affiliate website like a year ago just to cross the mark with a link to the main page damn that's ridiculous um That's ridiculous. Savon, what are you wearing?

What do you mean? I'm wearing a Kill Taylor shirt and a Filson winter hat. Someone said in here, is Kill Taylor going to be at the games? How fucking, I mean, that would be so smart of them, right? Brandon Gomez, Sevan, Sevan, Sevan, Sevan, Sevan, Sevan. Yeah, that would be fucking genius. Heidi Kroom, oh good. I can fall asleep to your beautiful voice, Sevy.

Good night, Heidi. Good night, Heidi. Fall asleep to your beautiful voice, Seve. Good night, Heidi. Seve, I'm getting a cut of the olive oil sales. No. That is 100% not true. I have nothing to do with the olive oil. Although, I did make him a...

offer to be in business with him. He told me to eat a dick. This person's still sorry. I got sidetracked. One question for you. He didn't say eat a dick. But you know what Dave did do today? He hung up on me today.

We were having a discussion about something. And he basically said he's sick of my shit and hung up on me. Then I text him and I said, are we fighting? He said, no, not at all. Okay, good. I hear you speak on all the work you do with the military, but I was wondering, the United States Border Patrol is a sponsor and I don't hear much when it comes to them. Do you work with them as you do with the military? Just curious. Thanks again, Dave. Yes, we've done a few seminars for them. We've done a one day. We're looking at doing more courses for them. I've offered up to their tactical team to come up and train we're trying to work on some dates uh their poor tech team is really highly respected and um they've done a lot of great

things so it would be an honor to work with them when i was at crossfit the head of the one of the division the head of i don't know it wasn't the head of homeland security but it was the head of all the the basically the police chief of all the guys, the Border Patrol officers, the very main guy. It was a Mexican name. He was a CrossFitter. I'd see him around or

talked about or something. I remember somehow we were cozy, cozy with him. At Extremist 1978, hi Dave, for whatever it's worth, I for one, and I feel i speak for the many really enjoy your week in review please keep them up please keep them up and edit it unedited raw and transparent a non-crossfit question i saw a leather band on your apple watch not this one your app ultra watch is that one you made is it available for purchase so yeah the leather band

i was wearing last week on this watch is one that i made i've made a handful of bands i do not currently sell them uh i switch it out because I've been doing a little swimming lately. So I went back with the band. The other band wouldn't be good for swimming. But it is one I made. I have made and not currently available for purchase. Damn, how does he do that? Steven Miller, 7412. Sunny Reveal

at 709. Someone else, I thought the same thing. And someone else said, little love. I don't know what they're talking about. I don't remember what happened at 709. Rich Froning Sr. Build it and they will come. I do think we have some background stuff to do. Sorry I missed you yesterday. Sorry I missed you, Sr. I was in and out.

So I went into that semifinal for a few hours and then I was gone. At JB1108, thank you for the review. Helps to stay connected to CrossFit. YouTube America, East cameras and content was really good. Better still than the others. Enjoyed to watch. Someone else at Mike B. KTM

Love the Weekend Reviews at B. McLaughlin. There's so many reasons to be optimistic. So it's crazy. Think of all the positive comments he's getting when he just reads them without picking them. I never even go look at the comments. I had no idea this many people loved them. Fucking people love these

shows. But when he presents them usually when i watch him he picks the hard questions where people are being assholes or attacking this is cool i like this i like this way it's about the future of crossfit as a brand as long as we remain rooted in the methodology we can survive trends ups downs mistakes as long as we pull in the same direction for sure and the methodology and crossfit it's um it's never going anywhere. We're in this unique position of you look at other fitness brands or fitness things. They're usually, usually tied to a gimmick or something, uh, they're selling, but we're a way of thinking a methodology that's based in a style of training that doesn't.

Isn't this ironic that it comes coupled on the same show where someone asked about the journal? on the same show where someone asked about the journal I mean it all resides in the journal and yet there's no journal and yet you say it won't go away well sure the fuck go away if you fucking lose the core tenants of it the core tenants are all fucking found in the journal

require any gimmicks and because of that we're poised because of that, because of the fact that it's a way of thinking and a way of training and the results that come with it and the results that come with it in a community environment, those things make it so powerful and definitely here to stay. And as you said, as long as we, as long as we remain rooted in the methodology. As long as we remain rooted in the methodology. Good comment.

At Ben Tanner 8797. Hey, Dave, thanks for all you do. I really admire what you said about leaving a legacy when it comes to being a father. I guess you could say I'm a young father looking for some direction. Would you have any good book recommendations that impacted the way you viewed life? Anne Rand. I mean, that's my most recent read it's pretty powerful definitely recommend that damn damn it'll it'll make you view things uh differently it's a it's a powerful book for a reason definitely check it out i recommend it at row rowan mac hey dave i really look forward to the games i thought semis were great. Programming setup was awesome.

The Bible. He just recommended the Bible. Jeremy E. World, send that guy my way. Father of the year, Jeremy E. World. Oh, there's a Bryson's shirt. Jeez. That's cool. Bryson's shirt? Jeez. That's cool. Bryson's arrived.

Yes, TDC coming around to the big guy. 10% for the big guy. What is this? 1999 emoji. What are you, commenting from a fucking droid? Some races on Sunday. I'm really hoping for a swimming event this year at the Games. Swimming stuff was awesome as the swimming actually mattered

and made a difference to event placement. Unlike rinse and repeat where subpar swimmers could outpace great swimmers on the ski, a repeat of swimming stuff would be meant just saying. Okay, final one. I'm going to go into this one. Actually, I see one more. So, hey, Dave, will the games in Texas look different than a semifinal if the majority of events are inside? The best part of the games is the creativity of the outside event.

It will absolutely look different than the semifinals. One of the reasons, one of the things we do at the games every year, and so here, understand also, the statement being said is the majority of the events will be inside. So understand what that represents. And the second piece, the second thing that happens at semifinals that will not happen here at the games is there's one floor, and it's the same one we're working off of for three days. So think about what I'm saying there and the flexibility we have because of Rogue and their involvement if every day the floor was to be redesigned or look different. At Kbearden8881, Dave, will you ever get the media? That's fun. That's always fun, right?

Every day you go to the games and the floor is different. That shit's cool. Seeing all the new shit the Rogue people built, you walk in there. I wonder if they'll cover anything with a sheet like they did that one year. Coverage of athletes in the offseason approaching the games like we did. It's the same one we're working off of for three days. So think about what I'm saying there and the flexibility we have because of rogue and their involvement. If every day the forward was to be redesigned or look different at K

Bearden, eight, eight, eight, one Dave, we ever get the media coverage of athletes in the off season, approaching the games like we did in 15 and 18? I feel like the game's popularity has tapered since then.

Thanks for everything. And then Hiller responded, I got you. And then Sevan responded, at HillerFit, hashtag me too. So those guys, they're doing their own thing and covering it in the way that supports the community with their unique flair. So nice to see them doing that. It would also be good to see us get to a point where we can do more of that too. I don't think there can be too much coverage, but supporting those guys continuing to do their thing

and us trying to do some of those things that we did in 15 and 18, that would help drive the sport forward. But that can't happen, and here's the big thing. I talk a lot about this with our team, in isolation of the other things that matter. Meaning, so let's say we got to the point where we're doing the game stuff, we're doing 15 to 18, all these videos, and then we're not doing affiliate stuff, or we're not doing training and education stuff.

We need to be doing training and education stuff. We need to be doing affiliate community stuff, stories, transformational stuff, all of that, and game stuff. So it's not just one at the expense of the others there needs to be a plan to get them all out there all right i just got a phone with andrew hiller i hadn't talked to him probably in two days and uh he has some really exciting stuff for you uh he's got something fucking super cool coming down the pipe you guys are all going to be tickled by it i I know I was super excited.

And of course, I'm going to try to piggyback off of his success when he makes that content that's coming out. And of course we'll be, we'll be having between now and the games, I bet you will interview all invite. Last year, I invited every single athlete onto the show before the games. I will do the same this year.

Every single athlete who's going as the show before the games. I will do the same this year. Every single athlete who's going as an individual to the CrossFit Games will get an invitation to come on the show at some point or another, even if they've been on the show before. Whether it's the 45-minute shows with, let's say, Shelby Neal comes on, it'll be a short show. Or someone brand new that I've never had, or Enola Kai, it'll be 45 minutes. Or if it's someone new like Hattie Kanyu, it'll be a full 90 minutes or longer. So I will be going full steam ahead there. Of course, I think Kill Taylor will be fucking amazing for the games also because it's going to build a shitload of just fucking excitement around competition and as we saw last week uh we saw yonakoski yellow host uh um eric hapalainen and victor hoffer uh call in that that kind of shit is great uh synergy with the games we see

alex kazan in the comments dylan lowe and shit like that so there'll be so much stuff for sure coming out uh and then i'm sure coffee pods and wads will be doing a ton of stuff. Barbell spin will be the place to get all your up fastest and quickest updates. I get with the programming. We'll have tons of programming shows and prediction shows. I mean, there's just going to be endless stuff out there.

The heat one app will be firing on all cylinders, bringing a whole new dimension to the watching so that, you know, you can compete against your friends, picking people. Yeah. Eric Lee, that means you too, Danielle. Yes, that's true. Even Danielle Brandon will get, she'll maybe get three invites. And so there's all of that. And then of course, we have the hype of the behind the scenes from the two semifinals.

We went to Rio Sousa and brands that are fucking killed it and Knoxville so there's all that stuff coming out and then of course you should buy some a tooth Ian and At Doc Spartan calm and then of course the behind the scenes I'll be going to I have to assume I'm going to Dickie's and Doing the best behind the scenes I've ever done. And on top of that, with the film contest, I will be doing the biggest promotion in the history of CrossFit promotional campaign ever with the help of people who enter the contest for affiliates.

The biggest ever. There will never been a bigger promotional push and love put on the affiliates after if i predict the outcome of this uh campaign contest so i guess there's only i guess the only place we haven't dipped into is uh training i guess that's the only place we haven't made content maybe that's next who knows all righty here we go that was a in review where I read them for the first time and just went from the top to the bottom of filtered by top comments. So I'll try this again next week. So if you see comments that you really want me to read, like it or whatever to put it at the top.

Thanks a lot. Okay. Wow. Wow. Okay. Okay Wow Uh Wow Okay Uh Let's see let's sort of from top comments Uh, I think I just watched a 20 minute olive oil commercial and liked it me too I competed this whack that past weekend at gauntlet. Love the service cup. Hey dave

Have you thought about charging people for better coverage of the games? Uh, thanks for sharing your knowledge Hey dave, what are your thoughts on people that are programming for burnout crossfitters like matt chan marcus philly james brown who's james brown um what was the main reason for the step down at semi-finals oh yeah shit he forgot to say that excuse me uh dave appreciate the weekly updates such a wide variety of topics uh what do you think about john woolley's uh oh can you give us a background on possible beef between you and woolley hey dave what do you think about the overuse of machines and crossfit specifically the last few years compare oh yep yes uh hey dave i heard a rumor at the games you're headed back to carson for 2025 can
