And it seems like that there's no seems like there's arsonists now helping the fire burn even faster. Oh, by the way, so there was a top there was the very first comment here was let me guess everything since another conspiracy theory. I would love for you to tell me one conspiracy theory I've believed in Just one I Think Maui was just a drunk guy. I think LA was just a homeless dude drug addict I

Think the earth is round. I Think your mom is pussy is sweet. I mean, I don't know but I know which one of those you I'm the furthest thing. I think Jews are smarter than Mexicans, I think Chinese are smarter than fucking Afghanis. I mean, you know, I mean, I have some weird, I have some discernments. I think Indian culture has a way of making beta men. I think there's a lot of fat white guys

in the United States, like a lot. I mean, I don't I don't know if those are conspiracy theories Just uh, just a dude, um, oh keith fucked you up he did He's a good dude that matt. Oh keith.

I should have done 999. That's what I was gonna say It wasn't a thousand is 999 We we've been filming a vlog and Taylor's here he's over at Greg's house now watching the kids in the swimming pool I think Hiller's on his way Ken

Walters is I think in town I think Jenny dense updates and her daughter are in town. Suzy's here. A couple other people. It's going to be a good time. Taylor brought his wife. My wife's here, obviously. They got a nice VRBO. We're all within a block of Greg's house.

We've been hanging out a lot. You're going to see a lot of funny stuff. And then tomorrow, we're going to be in the house. So we're going to be in the house. So we're going to be in the house. So we're going to be in the house. So we're going to be in the house. So we're going to be in the house.

So we're going to be in the house. So we're going to be in the house. So we're going to be in the house. So we're going to be in the house. So we're going to be in the house. So we're going to be in the house.'re all within a block of Greg's house. We've been hanging out a lot. You're going to see a lot of funny stuff. And then tomorrow we spent about, I don't know, six hours in Greg's gym today. You've probably seen some pictures on the Instagram or on the live stream or on the internet.

We've been at Greg's gym all day setting up the chairs the tables the audio the video This is a dry run first. Is that what it's called a dry run test run What's it called the day before like the yeah, I could dry run test either either worries I feel like it, you know, that's run. I used to be a thespian. There was before the night before Opening night we used to do one like for family and friends. I forget what that's called. Like a soft opening. Call that like a restaurants or something, businesses.

What was that called? Rehearsal. Oh, rehearsal. Oh, dress rehearsal. Thank you, Jeffrey Bursfield. Yeah. Dress rehearsal. Thank you, thank you. Yeah, Jeremy and Jeffrey got it. Look at Jeremy knows with that hat.

Yeah, that's a dress one with the hat. that guy has a fucking chain and a leather wallet for sure right Tell me Jeremy is your wallet attached to your thing with some sort of string or something tell me Tell me Yeah, I murdered the workout. I murdered the work. I couldn't jump over the rower, but I murdered the burpees. He's good. I stepped over the rower. Ken Walters, Arizona, Mexican restaurant in Old Town. Nice.

Oh, that's where you are now? Cool. That's good. Yeah. Ken should be, Ken should be stoked. This is going to be awesome. Barefoot burpees is wild. I did Nick my toe pretty good on on on the

roller on the first round somewhere somewhere on the concrete in the first round. But after that it was nothing. So so tomorrow's dress rehearsal for broken science Greg will be doing 10 one hour lectures five on Saturday five on Sunday. He only wanted 40 people here. I think I invited 15 on my own. I don't think I was supposed to do that. But what are you going to do? I think I own the fucking place. Yes, Ken Walters is here. Let's see what's going on. And then and then and then I've been, I want to hear Kenny, I want to hear the story from Kenny, Kenny Kane's mouth.

I, if, if Susan and I were talking and Susan was telling me he thinks he lost his gym and his house. Yeah. And, uh, that's a brutal story. And I think if we share the story on here, uh, people will be more compelled to donate money. So, um, I don't, I, I don't care if it's emotional appeal or leveraging his crisis to raise money, whatever the fuck it is. I want to do it. I want us all to hear it. Be like, okay,

shit. And then the guy, this guy Thomas Highland is actually who's running the GoFundMe. His name is actually Dusty Highland. I've known him forever. One of the nicest guys, OGs of CrossFit. Just a great, great guy. I want to say maybe he, in the early days, he was Lindsay Valenzuela's coach. I want to say he's been to the games a handful of times as a games athlete. Maybe he was Sam Briggs's coach. I think he was Noah Olsen's coach. Maybe. Yeah. I mean, he's been around forever. He is a truly a great guy. I want to say he was one of the coaches for the grid league. Everyone knows him. Everyone loves him. He's that guy, a strong man, just a good dude, all around a guy with great character.

So he started this page and it would, you know, it'd be nice to get to the $250,000 goal. I don't think it's, I don't think it's asking a lot. And, and you know who all these people are. We all know 100 Crossfitters and just figured it's those people. It's those people who had their homes burned and lost their gym. And I spoke to Kenny and don't quote me on this, but he said, I think think he said told me that he wouldn't be surprised if 30 CrossFit gym members in LA have already lost their homes. God it's fucking hard for me to even say that.

Wow. Hey can you imagine just like that scenario and there's like hey you have to leave and then you kind of watch it and shows a clip of your like neighborhood on the internet or whatever like on the news like a drone shot over and like you could see where your house used to be and there's nothing there but just ash and burnt. Yeah. Or even, we're seeing stories, right? It's just a guy sitting in front of a house with a mic.

He's like, this home is on fire now and this home looks like it's going to be on fire in three seconds because there's flames laughing at its fence. Then 10 minutes later, which is the report, they pan over to your house and it's toast Oh, yeah, just completely burnt and I don't really know how that works as far as like aid for those people and stuff But like if there wasn't insurance or anything on it, which it sounds like there there wasn't on a lot of these You're basically just like that's it, right? Yes, I'll tell you I'll tell you a story real quick. Olson dude's not a man who is unfamiliar with raising a lot of money himself. A lot of money for people in need. Means a lot to me, your donation.

Thanks dude. So what's been happening in California, it's happened to my wife and I twice in the last five years is insurance companies are just dropping you left and right. So you'll get insurance and then you'll get a note a year later they dropped you. You'll find another insurance carrier, you'll get a note saying they dropped you. In Los Angeles, there's like, I want to say I heard the number, there's seven, there's people with $7 billion in home values who have all paid into this public insurance fund because no one can get insured where their homes are.

And that public insurance fund only has 700 million dollars I can't remember the name of it And so they're fucked Mm-hmm They're fucked but not only that it's not that people don't have insurance because they haven't been trying It's that it's really hard getting homeowners insurance in California like really fucking hard and so We ended up using a company that helped find us California like really fucking hard and so

We ended up using a company that helped find us Insurance, you know what I mean? I think I think we pay insurance to three different insurance carriers for our house because we can't find one that will cover Like every aspect of it cheese Crazy reporters shoving mics and firefighters faces while they're trying to fight the fire argh oh here he is hey dude i think i i think i screwed up oh yeah it's all good i just had it as two cali time or i understood it as two cali time yeah you were you were right i fucked it all up oh well listen i'm just picking up my kids now. I'll be back to the hotel room in like

30 or so. If that works. If not, no worries. Okay, we're probably gonna I'm live on the air right now so people can hear you. But I'll probably I'll probably finish up here. And then and then I'll res try to reschedule with you later on this evening. Okay, cool. But I'm but I'm dying to hear your story and I'm really sorry I screwed it up, dude Awesome, but I can't wait to hear your story dude, I can't wait All right, I'll talk to you later on this evening, okay

Thank you. Thank you. All right. I'll talk to you later on this evening. Okay. Sounds good. Bye. Bye. All right. I fucked that up. The good news is Shut Up and Scribble will be on today. So that's cool. Let me see. Remember everyone who's listening, just just three bucks. Oh, five of you have listened or listening. Oh, Matt Olson. He did donate money. Awesome. Oh, yeah. Cole Powers.

Nice. Barry Tracy. Oh, all right. Cool. I'll probably keep doing these shows. We need to get to 1000 donations. It shouldn't be that hard. Just five bucks.

You know what I mean? Ten bucks. Good job, Colt. Like ten bucks is cool. I know it's a pain in the ass. You got to put your credit card in. You got to do all that. Like mine's just for some reason attached to Google Pay.

I'll donate during the CF Games Update Show tonight. Are we doing a CF Games Update Show tonight? Do we have something scheduled? Maybe referring to the Sharpen Scribble one. Oh, do they have one tonight? They have one at 4.30. Oh. Our time, Mountain Time 4.30. All right.

This morning, Taylor had the show, so that was cool. The morning show. With McCoy. Yeah, I didn't get a chance to watch it. Did you watch it? No, I haven't watched it yet, but I, I, I was away. I got up when he was like kind of finishing it out. It seemed like it was cool. I would also like to point out that even though Taylor, you know, has his opinions on athletes and, and, uh, and isn't afraid to voice them. them, it's equally matched with his humility in two aspects. Number one, to show up every single weekend on Kill Tailor,

laid out on the line. And we know a lot of CrossFit Games athletes watch that show, and they're too afraid to come on unless it perfectly, perfectly fits their specialty movements. And then the second aspect of that is that show with McCoy. That's literally getting, number one, most people won't even seek mentorship because they're afraid to kind of be exposed like that.

And number two, a lot of people would not do it, film it, and then have that session live for the world to see. And Taylor does both those things. So you really have to think about the humility involved in that to be able to do Kill Taylor and especially the stuff with McCoy. It's really cool. Yeah. He's crazy humble. It's really cool. Yeah, he's crazy humble.

It's a miss for people not to see that. Edging, the fair plan is available to California residents and businesses in urban and rural areas who can, why do you have to say that, urban and rural? Can't you just say, that means everywhere, right? Anyway, that's not a new edging, I'm just saying. Business, residents and businesses in urban and rural areas who cannot obtain insurance through regular insurance company okay so that's a public plan and what I heard is is the areas

that have been burned there's there's seven billion dollars worth of property that's insured using the fair plan and yet the pool only has like six or seven hundred million in it it's absolutely nuts people are going to be people are going to be jacked up. And you know some people when you watch these live streams of the fire burning every once in a while you'll see a comment saying fuck those people they're rich let it burn. That that's crazy to talk like that because first of all those are usually people who are rich probably have worked, all the rich people I know have worked very, very hard for their money. And second of all, those are the people staying at hotels, going to restaurants, buying bicycles at the bicycle shop, buying new cars.

They're the ones you want those people having money and spending money. You don't want that group of people getting jacked up. You don't want the government taking their money so that it goes to, you know, social justice nonsense. And you don't want them in a situation. When rich people are hurt, they don't take it on the chin. They stop paying people around them. What they do is they cut the spend on other things, going to restaurants, having nannies, getting their car painted, shit like that. They're not, they're going to try to maintain their lifestyle. Eddie Alvarado. Wow, that's an awesome name. Eddie Alvarado, two-time Golden Gloves champion.

Racist. $49.99. Thank you. Speaking of a guy who... Gardener, chef, landscaping, et cetera. Yeah, all that shit. Well, not to mention the job creation. I mean, all of you are talking about is where that money goes after they've

made it. Let's talk about all the money that goes into the overhead that supports the surrounding businesses that usually support that business. And then let's talk about all the job creation that comes from that business being created in the first place. And then talk about the money that they make and how that's distributed back into the local economy. So, someone said, why does Zuckerberg need a $270 million yacht? Like, I don't know, but the 10,000 people that it employed to fucking make that yacht, and the other 500 people who work year round

to maintain that yacht, have no fucking problem with it. And then all the technology that was used, cutting edge technology that was used to make that yacht, is now being passed down to other people at a more affordable cost. Yeah. And the Mesa Mitchell point, this is kind of a fallacy that a lot of people think too when it comes to people that have high net worth is that the majority of that money is

sitting under a mattress and being hoarded. And majority of the time, all of that money, especially if you create a business, is just in equities. And if you do have a ton of that money, you're not putting it in a bank and you're not, you're not keeping it in a mattress, uh, can be in a hidden in your mattress. You're usually putting that into other assets that are either going to create more money, which therefore create more opportunity. So it's kind of a misnomer to think that like, because I made a hundred dollars, Sevan doesn't have a chance to make any money now because it's hoarded under my mattress. That's not how wealth creation or money creation even exists.

And I believe Matt can correct me if I'm wrong, the bank only has to hold on to 10% of that money. The other 90% they put back into the system. Yeah. And Mason, I would say it's not a strong assumption. I would actually say that it's a fact. I think your assumption would be strong that they're keeping it. And I would love to see where you got that data from because I could show you where that money usually allocates. I mean, you think fucking Elon Musk has got $168 billion stashed under his house? No. Yeah, it's crazy to think that rich people are somehow... It's crazy to think that money can be wasted. You don't understand money if you think money can be wasted.

If you think someone buying a $4 million diamond ring is a waste, you have no idea. You have no understanding how money works. It's like thinking that you can waste time. It's not even yours to waste. You can't even control it. In the fact that there's not like a ceiling on on dollars like the the banks are creating it So like it's not like if you take from the pie the pie shrinks

It is this doesn't how that works Is hiller on his way? Yeah, his plane takes off at like um what you would call it like now I think to head here. He doesn't get here till this evening. Did he do a live show from the airport? What's that? Did he do a live show from the airport? Did he do a live show? I didn't even know he did a live show.

I'm just looking at the chat. Don't rich people normally have the money invested in stocks and assets and then take out loans against the money so they can show an income of zero? No, stop listening to the fucking tick fucking TikTok, you know, entrepreneur people. But even if they were doing that, that doesn't the money still flowing. And the money is created by the bank anyway. So it's doesn't like it's just put an existence by that loan. It's not taken from anybody else.

It's created once that loan is being written. Matt Burns, he ass pounded Sporty Beth again. Oh, okay. Well, she's got a lot of ass to pound. And he ass pounded sporty Beth again. Oh, oh, okay. Well she's got a lot of ass to pound. And he did do it from the airport looks like the comment about I can't see shit on my phone. I don't know how these people do these shows on the phone like this when we have them. The don't I'm gonna put a link to the donation. All I'm asking for is $5. Just go over to click that link or go to the GoFundMe page, put in the put in a loan, put in a loan, put in a donation. Let's see where we're at. 217.

Yeah, Taylor. I don't think your headphones are plugged in. They are plugged. Hold on. Give me a second. Audio. Oh, earpods. It says I'm using my earpods microphone. Does this not work? Tell those bitches in the background reduce background noise. Yes Is that better? The laugh track going the whole time Restaurant, sorry. Why does he call it? Hi it workout. Why doesn't he call it CrossFit?

high intensity inbred training I think that's what Matt chance doing right here to the inbred training. I think that's what Matt Chan's doing right here. This one tested my engine this week. A mix of steady state and high intensity efforts to push the limits of endurance and power. By the way, the only CrossFit Games athlete that I've seen that's donated money is Justin Medeiros

to the fire. Here's the breakdown, a 1500 meter row at zone two, steady pace, four rounds. He can't even do a go back. I'll just let the letter play through again. He can't even do a thruster correctly anymore. One one. He's squatting for medicine ball this has been doing crossfit 17 years.

So you know he has massive issues right like his knees are all jacked up and he's got all these resentments against the methodology and it's and it's uh it's his own personal issues he doesn't understand hey dude the methodology didn't destroy you it's you being an idiot but then watch his thrusters he can't even extend his hips before pressing overhead look at this early press press press press dude what are you doing this guy sucks okay and then and then, and then, so you said so CrossFit because he said H-I-I-T, right? Yeah, it is CrossFit. This is, yeah, you can just go ahead and read.

I mean, it's... Taylor Self, let me know when you... Oh, no, that's him. Go earlier. Yeah, yeah. Matt, so CrossFit. Then he responds, I don't disagree. This is the problem with critics or internet experts

They don't do difficult work of looking into a program to see what the practical application of a program play out Of a program play out in the gym. I don't understand that it sounds like someone who had a stroke wrote it And then you write back Matt Chan everything you do now is counter CrossFit culture clickbait and rage bait You are the internet expert critic. The hypocrisy is wild. Your message could simply be branded as coach more not CrossFit bad. CrossFit hurt me. You train hours upon hours every day for years. That's not what is taught in L1. Stop blaming CrossFit for wanting to compete at the games, Matthew. Also, Z2 is a waste of time. Zone 2 is a waste of time for most people. Matt Chan then responds, wow, Taylor, you know me so well. You're sorely mistaken if you think that I train for more than two hours a day more than a

few days a year while I was training for the CrossFit Games. Like you said that would be contradictory to what I was teaching both at the CrossFit level one and the level two seminars as well as most of the content of the CrossFit competitor scores not to mention in that era that I competed 2008 to 2013 volume did not gain you much advantage technique and skill acquisition and skill acquisition did. Hey anyway regarding I hate the phrase I hate the phrase skill acquisition too it's a big word for getting better at gymnastics skills and it's just a big word that douches like this and cups like this like to use to make them sound smarter than you.

Skill acquisition is just code speak for doing a strict ring muscle up if you can't do one, practicing strict ring muscle ups or practicing L-sit to handstands. It's practice. It's practice. Oh, okay. Sorry. Regarding zone two work, you should consider who the athletes are and what your coaching and what their goals are Are their goals to compete at fitness competitions or to be able to go backpacking on the weekends?

Are they lifting at weightlifting comps or are they skiing with their families? I don't know 20 to 30 percent reduction in all-cause mortality improved cardiovascular health and efficient and flexible Mitochondrial functionality and improve vo2 all sound pretty good to me Go ahead what he's failing to mention. As you can see, go ahead. What he's failing to mention here is you get all of the accommodating aerobic benefits that he's mentioning from anaerobic training and you get them without the accommodating loss of muscle mass, the loss of power, the loss of strength and loss of speed. Yes, you don't develop the extent of your aerobic base during aerobic training, but

you develop enough of aerobic base for 99.999% of the population to benefit massively from it without experiencing all of the negative side effects from steady state cardio that you get on reducing muscle mass. Also there's nothing for bone density. It's just this guy's an idiot. He's not an idiot. He's resentful at CrossFit. Yeah, I think that's a better analysis.

As you can see by that, and you can tell that just by the fact that he calls it HIIT or whatever. Dude, that's such a... Oh. As you can see by that video, I'm not saying high intensity doesn't have its place. It simply isn't the primary component of my programming. Yeah, you're programming anymore. I program for CrossFit.com and I'll be the first to tell you I used to prioritize relative intensity per the methodology, but I've seen friends,

clients, and coworkers follow a similar path to me for similar reasons. If you're still following the high intensity prescription daily, I'm glad it's working for you. But he's missing the point. Again, he says the words relative intensity and then he immediately follows that up with if you're still following the high Thank you, if you're still following the high intensity protocol daily Second is after he says I taught the relative intensity You're so what I just don't understand where that disconnect happens in four words How you go from understanding that it is relative intensity to then saying that I used to do the high intensity daily.

Where did that, where's the, where did you lose track of relative intensity in the four seconds that it took you to get to the next sentence? I don't like, you get what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. Where did that go? He has it in the thing as high intensity

in real training. Exactly. And also, I mean, this is a little thing a nuance but any guy who's a big enough of a douchebag to say 1500 meter row at symbol zone to pace when it takes less work to actually write out the letters a and t you have to hold down the shift button and then hit add. It's the same number of buttons, bro. What are you doing? Your workout is high intensity. Your workout is high intensity relative to most workout regimes and you're full of it. You fail to address so many things. Relative intensity is one. The loss of strength, power and speed that accommodates some to aerobic training.

The aerobics adaptations you gain from anaerobic training, et cetera. All you are doing is adding a specific intent strategy for adaptation to all your workouts, which is simply called coaching. And again, you build a brand brick by brick on the foundation that is CrossFit, then turn around and take a crap on it. Shows exactly who you are, a douche.

I love that. I'm gonna start spelling douche like that. You won't get reported if you do it that way. That's why I do that. Let me know when you get a better understanding of training protocols outside the four walls of your current knowledge base that you're limiting yourself to and we can have an adult conversation. It's funny.

I stay in touch with many of my fellow staff members, current and former, and they get it and we talk. What do they get through things without having to maintain this perception of loyalty, loyalty dude. He doesn't know anything about loyalty. Loyalty, dude. He doesn't know anything about loyalty. No, probably. He probably sells states, deep state secrets to China. This guy does he, he sells his own programming. Yeah. That's what this is about. That's all it's about. He sells programming and he's click baiting people into like, it's, it's like, uh, attacking the hand that feeds you.

Like, I just don't, I don't get it. I don't get it. I mean, I do get it. I, you know, who doesn't do that? Josh bridges doesn't do that. Rich doesn't do that. Josh just straight up says, Hey, I don't like these movements and I don't do them anymore.

Exactly. And that's great, dude. You don't want to do hands in. Great. You, I mean, there's literally nothing wrong with that. And in fact, I agree a lot with a lot of the things that Josh Bridges says. Most people don't need to do a handstand pushup.

That's not the crossing methodology I think you should be able to. And I think a lot of people still do want to do them. They want to learn how to do them. And that's cool. But also Josh has got a banged up neck and his knees been screwed on nine times, and so there are a lot of things he doesn't do.

And I'm similar. This guy just doesn't have the self-awareness and the humility to admit that he has a resentment against CrossFit because of his misuse of the methodology I'll say. Maybe his misuse of his own physical capabilities. Why won't he say CrossFit? Why does he say H-I-I-T? Because he's an asshole. Matt Chan, you went on Kalipa's show and talked for an hour about how CrossFit beat you up and you could never recover because you didn't have an aerobic base and how that was the CrossFit methodology's fault.

I don't want to have an adult conversation with a cuck who takes the low road to build a brand then burn the bridge. You don't acknowledge everything amazing about the methodology and said, focusing on how it doesn't have enough zone to like, really? Just say you're psychologically intolerant to discomfort. And that's why you only want to ride a bicycle at a conversational pace and do do power raises. I don't know what those are. That's fine, bro. But it's not CrossFit's fault. It's not about loyalty.

I'm not saying some two doesn't zone two doesn't work. I'm saying if you have an hour to work out, the CrossFit regime fault. It's not about loyalty. I'm not saying Zone 2 doesn't work. I'm saying if you have an hour to work out, the CrossFit regime beats anything and everything under the sun. Minimum effective dose. You're like the doctor throwing oxys at his patient because it's what they want and it'll make them feel good. Meanwhile, failing to mention that losing weight, moving frequently will solve many of the symptoms that are giving them a temporary treatment for.

It's cuck shit. You aren't smarter than Glassman or even scratching the surface and improving what he created pretending that you are as absolutely bonkers Imagine pretending that sitting on a bike for two hours is a better use of your time and you'll get fitter Than doing seven minutes of burpees It's it's just so not true. This is the most engagement he's had on his Instagram account in fucking 10 years. 100%.

He's got 170,000 followers. 90% of them are Indian bots. Hey, that is true. When I had 100,000 followers, like 60% of my following was from India. It was so weird. Really? Yeah.

It was so weird. So? Yeah. It was so weird. So fucking weird. This guy sucks. I don't think it has anything to do with the fact that I bought all my followers. I hate that guy. How do I... Oh, I don't... I can't even organize this. I can't even organize this in the... This computer is weird. Yeah, we got to mute that notification button too. Are Are you guys did you guys finish your show with that guy?

No, I fucked it up. I had the time all wrong When is it? I don't we I don't even know now. Oh damn Okay, listen, if you enjoyed that ass pounding of Tim Chan Matt Chan Mark Tran 7-eleven. 7-Eleven, Bernie, 7-Eleven. Please donate $3 now. All right, I got to eat lunch. Okay, love you.

We're coming back. All right, see you. Love you guys. Are you at Greg's? We were just at Greg's. We all did a workout. Did you tell everybody the workout? No, go ahead.

Tell them. We did a sick workout. This is CrossFit Charlotte's workout of the day tomorrow. Uh, it's two minutes of work. It's a partner workout, two minutes of work, two minutes of rest for eight rounds. Um, one partner works on one two minute window. Partner two works on the next two minute window. And it's a 25 calorie row buy-in for guys, 20 calories for ladies. And then max burpees over the rower and their main time. It was super hard. Susan took a three round took a three round.

What do they call it tribute for the LA fire victims? Yeah, I did five hard and then three. No, no, no. So he's like, guys, I'm just gonna do five rounds. I'm losing intensity. It's not gonna hit the stimulus. No point. I heard him saying that in the middle of my burpees. I'm thinking this fucking assholes not getting out of eight rounds

Dude, I'm I'm following Chan's program and it was five rounds hard three rounds I'm done too. You know, your wife was over there being like Susie. Don't listen to him. She was so good Yeah, I was like Susie you're doing eight rounds and I was like, I don't care what Taylor says I'm doing five And then he literally says one thing. Oh, you're gonna fuck quit the workout. Don't quit the workout. I was like Suzy you're doing eight rounds and I was like, I don't care what Taylor says I'm doing five and then he literally says one thing. Oh, you're gonna fuck quit the workout. Don't quit the workout. I was like Now I'm doing all eight Alright, I gotta eat. Love you guys. I'll see you later All right, so that's a little catch up on the Matt Tran Matt trans

Drama Vicki Duncan $10. Thank you. Scott's whites are probably his third donation. Thank you, Scott. You demand, uh, Kara Smith. And, you know, I don't, I don't even, like, I don't, I'm not like that mad at the fact that he's like going to do that shit for like his own programming. You know, I just think like, and if anything, it's just, um, I don't think it sheds him in the best light either.

You know, if you look deep you look deeper into it, right? Because he could have said everything he had said and said, some of the things that I've learned over CrossFit for the years and then kept going on with it, and I don't think it would have been an issue at all. I just think a lot of these people that built their brand, built their name through sitting on the shoulders of CrossFit, right? Nobody would have known who he was, not even a competitor,

just the fact that he was in the space as a, as a seminar staff member. I don't know if he was a Flowmaster, but he did his own like competitors course with Spheal for a while. Like there was just a lot of notoriety that CrossFit helped him get to where he was now. So to not really acknowledge it at all and then kind of push it as like, hey, this, this beat me up, but this is what I'm doing now and this is better. You know, that always just kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth, right? So it's just like, dude, you could say that without having to bash it on the other side. I really like how froning and bridges just, you're like, yeah, whatever my problem is,

it's just, I still do CrossFit. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's like catching your girlfriend cheating on you, but then you say you still fuck her, but you call her by a different name. I'm not calling you by your name. You just hoe. Come here. Ho. Uh, Saban, did you get your toe to your mouth? I did not. Hey, when, when I, when I got, I was going to try, but I don't think I should, uh, when I would get off the rower and I only did 20 calories. The first round, if you want to hear something funny, the first, so Sousa was going with someone else and I was going with someone else so we were

both on the rower at the same time and when we got off the rower I got off at the exact same time as Sousa and as I was resting I was like man I did as good as Sousa and the very next thought was oh but wait Taylor scales me to 20 calories. That means Susan did 25 when I did 20. It's like son of a bitch That's right. You you got your victory in the later rounds God that hurt. I did not get my toe to my mouth. So Rica $10. Thank you. Gracias Thanks guys. All right Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And then Susan and I will hopefully get to hear the story firsthand from a guy who's in LA who lost his home and his CrossFit gym. And, and hopefully that will compel people to be like, wow, this shit is real and donate more money. All right. Love you guys. Affiliates first.

Nothing better. It's one of the promising aspects of our society. And I think that's the biggest thing that we can do. All right. Love you guys. Affiliates first. Nothing better. It's one of the promising aspects of our society is just the affiliate where people go in, get better, come out, and offer a fantastic contribution to society. I'll see you guys later. Bye bye. Because of CrossFit, I've been able to become a mom. And that's not something I ever expected to do.

A random atriosis diagnosis is different. But there was a time in my life where it was really bad. I couldn't bring groceries in without being in pain. I couldn't hold my husband's hand without triggering chronic nerve pain. I couldn't hold my husband's hand without triggering chronic nerve pain and I gave up that dream of becoming a mom because I knew that with endometriosis I was gonna struggle with fertility and didn't want to risk being that kind of mom that wasn't present physically for my daughter when those

inflammation flare-ups happen. And me and my husband went through the process of grieving and accepting that. The main priority was like my quality of life and can I manage the inflammation and not be in pain. I actually started CrossFit as like last resort because the other options of surgery or narcotics, it just didn't sound like a viable solution for me without accepting some of the long-term damage that would come with that. And so just decided, you know what, I'm just gonna try CrossFit and see what can be done. And it slowly helped build up a lot of strength and helped manage my anxiety and my hormones. Little did I know as I was improving my health over the years that my body was

gonna become fit enough to become pregnant. It made it possible for me to have her because here she is.
