BMI is the newest addition to CrossFit's affiliate partner network. A BMI music license gives you copyright permission to play over 20 million songs from BMI's award-winning repertoire. Tap the link in the bio, blah, blah, blah. What's interesting is the comments. Think about all you spend on

and the value each of them bring coaches crm website now think of your class environment without music spotify pandora apple uh so here's someone saying that they like the deal people asking all sorts of questions about what this what does this actually mean what's the music um are they going to keep suing us or trying to come after us or tell us to stop using music? Biggs Lima says, after these losers harassed me for months, I told them we don't listen to music. It actually worked. I haven't heard them since.

The reply is same for us. So basically, I guess you have to pay money to play music in your affiliate. If it's in a business and you're making money off of it and it's part of your way of making money. If it's in a business and you're making money off of it and it's part of your way of making money, then CrossFit has somehow facilitated a deal that should help the affiliates with that deal and maybe with not getting harassed. Seems like a really tough thing to police. John Young. John Young released the Everest Elite on the barbell spin YouTube channel.

This is the premier ranking of athletes. And there's different categories. Of course, there's all time. There's women, there's men, but this particular clip I'm about to show you. John's explaining why the men's division is traditionally harder than the woman's division because the competition has been stiffer. And that's why I think he's justifying why he has Matt ahead of Tia, not necessarily because of Matt's accomplishments, but because of Matt's how he did his accomplishments and against who. And J.R. Howell said this is a quote from J.R. Howell regarding this clip I'm about to show you.

You are in rare form, John Young. Very entertaining. And I agree. This is quite the statement here by John Young. Enjoy. Whenever they do the same workouts, 90% of the time. Go look at 2020, anytime they did the workout, that was the same workout or 2019 or 2018. Matt was better in those years,

which is now those as those are the years I have, but not in 2021. See, it's, it's funny to me because you're willing to give Matt the argument that, that you, I don't think Tia got fitter in 2021. I just think it was the most dominant year that she had,

so I decided to put that year for her. Right, but they finished by roughly the same margin over their competitors. Yeah, there's better competitors on the men's side than the women's side. It's not that I don't have respect for Tia because she's a woman. It's that I think there are better men to go against Matt than there are women to go against Tia. The best woman, the fittest woman in the world right now can't even do handstand push-ups.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's a good point. Well, a certain kind of handstand push-up. Dropping bombs. A crazy show. if you are interested in crossfit rankings that is the ultimate show it is live now over at the barbell spin youtube channel and uh the the kind and benign and gentle and man of the highest integrity, Tyler Watkins. Even he is getting underneath John Young's skin. A very entertaining show.

I really enjoyed it. I know many of you, this has been on your mind, weighing heavily on you. I will update you on this story with all its twists and turns. If you recall, in Carson, there was a man who was in the bathrooms filming other men as they peed. Man a man who was in the bathrooms filming other men as they peed man accused of filming people in the bathrooms at crossfit games pleads guilty says the author caroline bach a madison a tennessee man accused of filming people in

the bathrooms during the 2023 crossfit games pleaded guilty in dane county court monday according to court records ty tran 44 is charged with possessing an intimate representation without consent. Oh, yeah. Wow. That's interesting. That sounds like some legalese. The guilty plea was part of an agreement with the prosecutors. A judge did not convict Tran, instead referring him to the county's deferred prosecution program. If Tran successfully completes the program, he will not be convicted or sentenced all right so there you go that's the uh I wonder if that I wonder if that will happen in Texas uh Dana White walked off the set of Howie Mandel woke Howie Mandel's podcast the other day I can't

even believe Dana actually did the podcast Howie is Howie and his wife are crazy woke amazing full-blown haters of anything that doesn't fit in their line of thought this is right at the beginning of the podcast Howie is a germaphobe he's a demands that everyone around him take drugs he's a full proponent of kids taking drugs his wife's a proponent of it proponent of masking and forcing and mandating drugs on all sorts of people. And Dana is not. Dana is a man who believes in freedom, freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of body. But here it goes. Dana shows up on Howie Mandel's podcast, and this is how it starts.

You are. I can't thank you enough for being here. You and Ginger seem to be getting along. You are not only an amazing businessman, you are an inspiration. You are a philosopher. The way you do business, the way you conduct your business and your friendships and media is I'm jump. Also, Howie and his wife have a full-blown jihad against donald trump the former president of the united states and the man who's running for president they they go out of their way at any time they can to hate him and trump is close personal friends with dana white so another interesting uh aspect here ellis and but dana i can't thank you enough for being here. Thank you for all the kind words. I appreciate it.

I am so fucking tired of doing podcasts. It's I'm literally done with them. I'm not doing any more podcasts. And that's it. Dana walks off. And to this day, like, but you can't find out if this is a bit or if it's supposed to be funny or, or what happens. I don't know who that this is a bit or if it's supposed to be funny or or what happens i don't know who that lady is but why uh why would dana would even go on this podcast is uh besides me uh how he's a weasel a an illustrious guest from the middle of the no the other side of the country south carolina yes sir east coast wow and then he pivots so the head of the ufc uh continues to show uh wild leadership

lazar jukic gone is he done with mayhem what is going on here is lazar gone from mayhem a lazar jukic has a collaboration posting saying alpha training let's go and uh somewhere in a story there's also a picture of lazar with his arm around a coach and it says this is where i started and this is where i'm headed or something like that let me see if i can uh pull this up maybe lazar still has the there it is uh 2021 my first uh crossfit games 10 finish. Best male rookie of the year. All done with this man. Glad to be back to finish what we started. So it looks like Lazar's making some sort of move.

Does that mean he's done with mayhem? I think, but more to come for sure. Lazar Jukic, a great guest who's on the show, him and his brother. And you can never, ever have enough of Emily Rolfe. She went to Muscle Beach for a pump. She is showcasing her ESC sounds. Emily was a guest on the show. Great sport, CrossFit Games athlete.

There's never too much of emily doing dips thank you emily for gracing us with your uh presence emily rolf ladies and gentlemen uh it looks like the rumors have it that uh our buddy jay de coons he's the guy who uh i think he's that head of affiliates affiliate director he's the he's the guy who – I think he's the head of affiliates, affiliate director. He's the guy who's in charge of affiliates, reports directly to Mr. Fall, the CEO over at CrossFit Inc. There was a senior manager affiliate operations position open, and this guy, the guy who got the job – I don't know his name yet, but he was brought from the bar method where I also believe Dukun's came from. Not uncommon for people to bring their buddies to their new jobs so another person now on the affiliate team i suspect this guy won't say that uh crossfit's dangerous or that they won't tell us that he doesn't have his level one but he is from the bar method is what I'm hearing.

And so, uh, welcome to the team, buddy. Uh, may your entry be smooth, whoever you are, wherever you come from. Finally, I told you this a few days ago, Mal O'Brien will not be coming back to the CrossFit games. Um, there's really no breaking news here. She's done. We knew she was done. You don't even need to go watch her post. Basically, in a nutshell, you find out that MOB, in case you were wondering, MOB stands for Mentally Off Balance.

That's the name of her new brand. And she basically is letting us know that she's not competing but we should expect more posts about rain go odd and noble in the coming weeks and months and years so that she can fulfill her sponsor obligations mob come on it's funny come on come on come Come on. Before you start getting on your keyboard. It's funny. It's funny. It's funny. Anyway, whatever. Whatever. Finally, we save the best for last. over to the andrew hiller fit instagram account you will see this insanity here we go uh mr woolly from uh coffee pot uh make coffee great make pods great again make wads great again here we go a lot of stuff about greg one thing i'll say about him is i'm not gonna make humble one of those words and i say that with love and i'm not gonna make humble one of those words. And I say that with love.

I'm not going to make humble one of those words, but I say it with love. Yeah, okay, I like this. I like this. The reason I say that is because we call the CrossFit Games the competition to find the fittest on earth. Sure do. We're bad dudes. We are bad dudes. We're the fittest dude in any Starbucks or Walmart at all times. Which is the most braggadocious comment you could ever come up with. We're going to find the fittest on earth. Yeah, look at Wooly.

It's like he got a set of balls or something. Look at him. I wonder if Nikki's not standing by him or something. Look at him, all puffy chested and shit, acting like a man. No, I think it's kind of a bullshit statement. Oh, Wooly, no, you didn't i you were you were just like yeah yeah i like this and then now you're like i think it's kind of a bullshit statement i know i know it's really hard for you to commit to anything i get it i get it i get it someone's

got your balls in a glass jar i get it personally but it's awesome oh now back the other way but it's awesome so so it's cool it's not cool it's cool i don't agree with this bullshit but it's awesome okay well i'm not sure where you stand like like like what are you saying it makes me want to go out and go i do crossfit i compete against the fittest owner where okay i'm with you yeah yeah now i'm back with you okay it makes me want to do crossfit there's the swagger for the people we're trying to get into the affiliates, right? Like in the old days, you know, and I'm not sure I want us going back to this exact. Oh, my God. Do you see what he's doing?

He likes it, but I'm not sure if I want to go back to it. Dude, just say something. Grow a set and just put a flag in the ground and stand behind something, dude. Stand behind something. Say something. Grow a set and just put a flag in the ground and stand behind something, dude. Stand behind something. Say something. My God, this is embarrassing. But when we started, it was the hardest thing you're ever going to do. I personally took a lot of pride in I'm doing something really hard.

I'm not doing it at the level of a games athlete, but what I'm doing is challenging myself. And I was proud of that and that's what i don't feel like i hear from them right now to get people in the door is that you're going to do something you're proud of because because because you're not helping you with your wishy-washy shit what the hell are you even saying makes sense and then hey and then you know I don't have the clip right here. But right after he says that, his co-host Nikki goes, I don't know if I agree with you. Like she can't. First of all, you don't even know what he just said because he can't even mark the X and be like that. Dude, you're doing a podcast. You're not talking to your wife. Stick to something. Hit the bullseye. And then your co-host thinks that they know what you're saying,

but she's obviously trapped between her ears trying to figure out what you're saying, so she comes up with her own story. But she's not even – she can't even say, I don't disagree with you. She has to say, I'm not sure I agree with you. Oh, my goodness. Oh. That is the news.
