Why Tyler LOVED the NorCal Classic & Special Guest... HATTIE KANYO! · The Spin Podcast

• 0:32
  Welcome to the spin. We've got John Tyler and the one
• 0:37
  and only had he can you making it back to the CrossFit Games
• 0:40
  after a wild Norcal weekend. I want to definitely get into
• 0:47
  Norcal. I know Tyler wants to get into
• 0:49
  Norcal, but first just qualifying in general.
• 0:55
  The days that have been since, like, has it sunk in that you're
• 0:58
  going back to the CrossFit Games?
• 1:01
  Yeah, it has now. It kind of just felt like a
• 1:04
  dream at first, especially because it was so I didn't know
• 1:07
  if I was making it for so long in the back there when we were
• 1:10
  in quarantine. And like even Carolyn came up to
• 1:13
  me, hugged me and was like, good job.
• 1:15
  Like super proud of you, you made it, blah, blah, blah.
• 1:17
  And I was like, I didn't make it until I hear that I made it
• 1:19
  because I was freaking out So and I didn't even look at the
• 1:23
  leaderboard all weekend. So I actually thought that I was
• 1:26
  maybe in second or third going into that last event.
• 1:29
  And then I asked my coach. I was like, hey, like, who do I
• 1:32
  need to be around or whatever and what do I need to do?
• 1:37
  Kind of. And he was just like, yeah, you
• 1:38
  need to beat Kristen and Carolyn.
• 1:41
  And I was like, oh shit. Like maybe I'm actually a little
• 1:44
  bit lower than what I thought. Yeah, so.
• 1:52
  You were all within one point. Yeah.
• 1:55
  Yeah. I mean, you could be second, you
• 1:57
  could be 4th. Yeah.
• 1:59
  I guess first, just what was that like the finish?
• 2:05
  And because I, I think you got, I mean, you sound like you guys
• 2:08
  were there for a few hours, like still waiting on drug tests.
• 2:12
  You didn't know what the results were like.
• 2:14
  What is everybody doing back there?
• 2:16
  So we did know once we were getting drug tested.
• 2:19
  So it was in the back where we were kind of quarantined and
• 2:23
  then the guys were going and I didn't even look at the guys
• 2:27
  going because I was just so all over the place sitting there
• 2:30
  like, holy crap, did I just make it?
• 2:33
  So a lot of girls were talking. I was kind of just in my own
• 2:38
  zoning out, you know, bubble and some girls would come up and
• 2:43
  like hug me and say Congrats. And then they'd go and then I'd
• 2:45
  be in my bubble again and be like, Oh my gosh, like what's
• 2:48
  going on? Did I make it?
• 2:49
  Another girl come, you know, give me a hug.
• 2:51
  Everyone was saying Congrats, like I made it, but I was still
• 2:53
  just like, I don't know. I don't know until I know
• 2:56
  because anything could happen, you know what I mean?
• 2:59
  And I didn't look at the leaderboard, so I had no idea.
• 3:01
  And I even looked over at Tristan.
• 3:02
  I was like, yeah, no. And he's like, like he didn't
• 3:06
  even know. So I was just like, Oh my gosh.
• 3:09
  If anyone's going to know, it's going to be him.
• 3:11
  So if he doesn't even know, I'm freaking out so.
• 3:14
  You got to ask John next time. Yeah, just go, well, I wasn't
• 3:17
  even allowed to go over by that tent, so I would have just put
• 3:20
  my head over and been like, tell me right now.
• 3:22
  No, I I went to Hugger and she gave me a hard no.
• 3:25
  Oh yeah. I wasn't allowed to.
• 3:28
  I don't touch anybody. And then all of a sudden he just
• 3:29
  comes and he's like good job. And I'm like wait, wait.
• 3:32
  She's like, don't touch me, don't touch me.
• 3:34
  And I was like, oh, I guess you touched him.
• 3:36
  I could slip clean urine in her pocket.
• 3:39
  I don't know, Tyler. OK.
• 3:42
  Is that I think that's it, right?
• 3:44
  Because I thought maybe it was like transfer of something like
• 3:48
  through the bloodstream or something.
• 3:49
  I was like, that's a little intense.
• 3:51
  Like, I don't know, is that a real thing?
• 3:54
  Some people have claimed it to be.
• 3:55
  But well, yeah, 'cause we were talking about, what's her name,
• 3:58
  Canadian, and she said that she sucked her Yeah, yeah,
• 4:01
  boyfriend's dangling and got it. It's.
• 4:06
  Number one, number one 'cause I'm pretty sure.
• 4:09
  And we were looking it up back there, though some of the, the
• 4:12
  girls that like walk around with us, like our bodyguards or
• 4:15
  whatever, making sure we don't touch anybody.
• 4:17
  We all were looking it up. We're like, can this actually
• 4:20
  happen? And I don't think it can but.
• 4:24
  You felt bad for the you felt bad for the other girls husbands
• 4:27
  or the husbands who when their girls weren't looking that up
• 4:30
  and they're like, I'm good, I'm good to go.
• 4:32
  And Cherise Chan also, I think that was one of her excuses back
• 4:36
  in the day too, so there's not the only one.
• 4:39
  Couple. People I before we get into all
• 4:42
  the, the Norcal, there were questions about whether you'd
• 4:46
  actually be competing at Norcal. A few months ago you had a
• 4:49
  shoulder injury. Can you kind of share what
• 4:51
  happened with that, like when and and kind of that journey to
• 4:53
  get to Norcal? Yeah, so it happened at
• 4:57
  Wadapalooza and it just, yeah, something happened.
• 5:03
  So I couldn't finish Wadapalooza And you know, I was devastated
• 5:07
  because I was actually looking forward to team, but it was
• 5:11
  just, it was before the last event on individual and just I
• 5:15
  felt something and I got the guys to look at me and they said
• 5:19
  I had a fracture in my collarbone, but I didn't believe
• 5:21
  them. And then yeah, just leading up
• 5:25
  to it, you know, it was, it was bad for a while and then it's
• 5:29
  kind of started getting better. And then I started pushing the
• 5:31
  limits with some things and then I pissed it off again.
• 5:34
  And then it was kind of just like up and down since then and
• 5:38
  leading up like even a week and a half before, 2 weeks before I
• 5:43
  thought OK, like every day would be like, oh, I feel really good
• 5:46
  or I don't feel really good. I feel really good.
• 5:48
  I don't feel really good. And then one day I felt super
• 5:52
  good for like 3 days straight. So I was like, hey, that's my
• 5:54
  answer, I'm going. And then all of a sudden the
• 5:56
  next day it just didn't feel good at all.
• 5:59
  And so I just started bawling at the gym and I called my mindset
• 6:02
  coach and he just got me like level headed.
• 6:05
  And he was like, dude, you don't have to figure out right now.
• 6:08
  Let's focus on your rehab and your training.
• 6:11
  And then, you know, you could figure it out a day before if
• 6:14
  you really wanted to. But you just think that the
• 6:16
  world is ending when, you know, you kind of feel like that doing
• 6:21
  your minds in that back and forth.
• 6:24
  Yes, no, yes, no, you know what I mean?
• 6:26
  So yeah, and then it just, it felt good leading up to it.
• 6:31
  So I was like, you know what, let's just go and see what
• 6:33
  happens again. Like I could withdraw during it
• 6:35
  if something happens or if I feel like I shouldn't be pushing
• 6:40
  anymore, you know what I mean? So did you.
• 6:44
  Did you limit anything throughout that or was it just
• 6:46
  kind of like you'd do something and they would kind of aggravate
• 6:49
  it? So I, I wasn't cleaning, I
• 6:52
  hadn't cleaned or I was really nervous for that last event
• 6:55
  because I hadn't cleaned really anything in five months.
• 7:00
  But that's well, maybe like in the middle, that's where and I
• 7:04
  aggravated it, right? I was like, OK, it's starting to
• 7:06
  feel a little bit better, so let's try.
• 7:08
  And then it aggravated it. So then we didn't clean again.
• 7:11
  And then same with ring muscle ups.
• 7:13
  And then we had two big workouts with those two movements that I
• 7:17
  was nervous about, but maybe taking some time off of ring
• 7:20
  muscle UPS just, you know, it was fine because I was still
• 7:23
  still doing pulling stuff. So.
• 7:26
  And then it felt good during the workout.
• 7:27
  So yeah. And you're about two inches.
• 7:31
  Is my mic, my son? Yes.
• 7:33
  All right. Is it his?
• 7:36
  Yeah. Oh, I thought it was Hattie the
• 7:37
  whole time. I figured this was my fault.
• 7:38
  Hattie. I don't hear anything.
• 7:41
  I don't know what you guys are talking about all.
• 7:42
  Right. Check, check.
• 7:43
  Am I better now? Yes.
• 7:45
  OK, you were, you were two inches from standing up that
• 7:47
  clean too, like two more inches of stand up and I think you
• 7:50
  would have came through with it. Yeah, I know.
• 7:54
  That's five months of of not cleaning.
• 7:58
  Gotten that. All right, so you go to Norcal,
• 8:03
  That was a different experience. I guess we'll get in.
• 8:08
  I know Tyler has some thoughts a little bit later on the show,
• 8:10
  but from an athlete's perspective, trying to qualify
• 8:14
  for the games, kind of share how you know from like the truck
• 8:20
  push. I guess we'll start there.
• 8:21
  Like the truck push, what was it like for what was like?
• 8:25
  What was your experience on that truck push?
• 8:27
  Because I was watching Sousa's live stream on on Instagram.
• 8:33
  And oh, was I on there? Was that when I came over and
• 8:35
  talked with you guys? I.
• 8:36
  Think, yeah, I I can't remember if I was watching it during that
• 8:39
  time, but I think so. And.
• 8:41
  We started noticing like when everything was like, wait a
• 8:44
  minute, the same lane keeps winning.
• 8:46
  Yeah, yeah. That was kind of, it was kind of
• 8:49
  weird just the way that it all ended.
• 8:53
  Ended up I was a little bit livid at first, but then I was
• 8:55
  like, you know what? You can't make up excuses.
• 8:57
  Whatever they want to do, it's their competition.
• 8:59
  You just got to live with it and you just got to work around it.
• 9:02
  It was a really cool event. It's just again, for like
• 9:05
  qualifying for the games, you need to make sure that these
• 9:08
  things are, what's the word I'm looking for, like linear or I
• 9:13
  don't know, I guess as fair. As.
• 9:17
  Fair as you can, but like he talks about it in another video
• 9:21
  where like they didn't think about what was it?
• 9:23
  Was it the tire pressure or one had more kilometers or
• 9:26
  something? I don't know, but like sure and
• 9:30
  you don't think about those little things, but it's like, I
• 9:33
  don't know, I don't know. I just yeah, maybe you can
• 9:36
  overlook those little things. But and looking at that event
• 9:39
  before I was like, yeah, that's sick.
• 9:41
  Like maybe that'll be easier than or easier to judge than a
• 9:45
  sled because sometimes you're on a floor and like over here is
• 9:49
  hot, so it might be more sticky or whatever.
• 9:51
  So we were actually talking about that on our road trip up
• 9:54
  rails. Like that's actually probably
• 9:55
  better the Gator than like sleds or whatever because it's going
• 9:58
  to be hot out and blah, blah, blah.
• 10:00
  But it ended up kind of being the opposite.
• 10:05
  What what light did you end up getting in were?
• 10:07
  You I was in the right and I was like one of the 1st to go.
• 10:10
  So that's another reason why I was just like, can I go again?
• 10:13
  Because not not saying that I like sandbag, but I still went
• 10:16
  really hard. But kind of knowing that then I
• 10:19
  feel like some people went in there because they're like, OK,
• 10:21
  we can really push that one. You know, once you got it going,
• 10:25
  you could just go and run with it.
• 10:29
  So yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I think before that, like
• 10:32
  I think Trista Smith maybe in one of the early ones and you're
• 10:34
  in the left lane and you start getting smoked.
• 10:37
  Like, do you feel a little demoralized, right And like.
• 10:40
  Yeah, for sure. Slow down a little bit, like I
• 10:42
  just ruined this, like I'm so far behind and then.
• 10:46
  And that happened to one of my friends too.
• 10:47
  And it was sad 'cause afterwards she was like, I thought I was
• 10:50
  doing so good. And I was like, you were, you
• 10:53
  were like, we told her, this one's slower.
• 10:55
  And then we told her about what was happening at the points.
• 10:57
  And she's like, OK, 'cause like, what the hell?
• 10:59
  That was so hard I could barely even move it, you know what I
• 11:03
  mean? Yeah, yeah.
• 11:05
  And you talk about the heat coming from Canada, was that an
• 11:10
  something that was impacting you and and your performance or was
• 11:14
  it fine? No, I like the heat and we
• 11:16
  brought, we're the only ones who brought.
• 11:19
  So my people that live upstairs, I live in like a basement suite
• 11:22
  thing. And they were like, Hey, take
• 11:23
  our umbrella. That's like a sand umbrella or
• 11:25
  whatever. And we weren't going to.
• 11:27
  And finally we were like, OK, fine, we'll we'll take it since
• 11:29
  we're driving anyways, right? And we actually used it every
• 11:32
  single day and it was significantly cooler under
• 11:36
  there. And like over the last couple
• 11:39
  days, people started migrating to our, our little umbrella that
• 11:42
  we had. But it was so nice to have.
• 11:45
  But I'm, I'm used to training in Bali and that's pretty
• 11:49
  disgusting. And then I'll go to Houston
• 11:51
  sometimes again, I really love training and doing competitions
• 11:55
  outside. We did a couple in Bali and
• 11:59
  there was this one competition. We had no shade and we were just
• 12:02
  on the beach for hours, like all day.
• 12:05
  Maybe we had one event that was kind of in the shade and I don't
• 12:09
  know. I just, I like that.
• 12:12
  Were were you prepared for that, like outdoor, like having tents
• 12:19
  and not having like air conditioning, like all day?
• 12:22
  Not really I guess we had that umbrella, but we actually found
• 12:26
  a tree that we were able to have shade.
• 12:29
  But I, my hotel was only about like a 6 minute drive.
• 12:34
  So after every event we just went straight to the hotel
• 12:37
  because I after every event I love to just like shower off,
• 12:41
  get a new clean outfit on like feel fresh, you know what I
• 12:46
  mean? Have your food not be sticky and
• 12:49
  gross anymore. So I went right after every
• 12:53
  event. Every event in the shower.
• 12:57
  I know it's weird, but I just honestly, it's like my, it's
• 13:01
  like my thing. I don't know, I just like to
• 13:03
  feel fresh for the next workout. There were also like 4 hour
• 13:08
  breaks. Yeah.
• 13:10
  Which OK, was unique to the cost.
• 13:11
  It's just a rinse. It's not like I'm like washing
• 13:13
  my hair and all that. It's just like a quick rinse.
• 13:16
  Get new out, get a new outfit on and just again feel fresh for
• 13:20
  the next workout. Was there any time during the
• 13:24
  competition where you're like, man, F this like this is this is
• 13:30
  not what I signed up for. I I came for some like games
• 13:34
  qualifier and you know, either something's not fair.
• 13:39
  I and I know you said the the Gator was like, I just kind of
• 13:42
  had to do it, but like. I mean, it's probably the Gator
• 13:45
  event because I went up to John and them and I was just like, I
• 13:47
  was a little bit livid because I was just like, guys, this is
• 13:49
  like weird. That's weird that they're doing
• 13:51
  that for, you know, to get people to the games and like,
• 13:54
  what if that cost people just, you know, from doing that?
• 13:58
  And then later that night John and I were texting and I was
• 14:01
  like, hey, I cooled down a little bit and we're all good
• 14:04
  now. Like it is what it is.
• 14:08
  Again, you kind of just got to, I feel like it's more important
• 14:12
  to have that mindset rather than just sitting there and
• 14:15
  complaining all the time because like a competition could not go
• 14:18
  your way because maybe it's events that aren't good for you.
• 14:21
  That doesn't mean you just sit there and complain about it.
• 14:23
  You still just got to work your ass off.
• 14:25
  And if it doesn't work out, then you know, Oh well, or maybe just
• 14:29
  work harder at being well-rounded.
• 14:31
  I don't know. But like I just feel like
• 14:33
  complaining all the time just doesn't really help anybody for
• 14:37
  sure. Maybe later, like maybe they
• 14:38
  could get some feedback from people because yes, they are
• 14:43
  about like being the wild, Wild West and like a crazy fun comp.
• 14:46
  But again, like to get people to the games, maybe it does need to
• 14:49
  be a little bit more structured and like, especially in
• 14:52
  different ways, like not knowing when to corral or like no one's
• 14:56
  taking us over to the spot. Like there are three events,
• 15:01
  maybe even 4 that, you know, I wasn't late to get to the tent
• 15:05
  and I was getting there and they were already doing a briefing.
• 15:08
  So then the girl had to do a briefing like maybe three more
• 15:11
  times because again, there were more girls coming, you know what
• 15:14
  I mean? But it saves, it'll save you
• 15:17
  talking. And I think one girl, it's lost
• 15:19
  her voice over the weekend. That'll save you talking 12
• 15:22
  times if you just wait for everybody.
• 15:24
  Like that's the reason why they were checking us all in when we
• 15:27
  got to the tent, you know what I mean?
• 15:29
  Like when we got there, they're like, hey, what lane are you in?
• 15:31
  They check this in. If you don't see everyone
• 15:33
  checked in, maybe just wait, you know what I mean?
• 15:38
  E-mail a week before. Or three weeks before the
• 15:45
  workouts came out the night before.
• 15:46
  How could you do that? Oh, that way, yeah.
• 15:48
  Hey, I actually don't mind that we got the workouts the night
• 15:51
  before in the sense of this kind of competition, like crazy
• 15:56
  skills, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
• 15:57
  It doesn't give people the chance to like practice those
• 16:00
  things and it it's kind of fun that way for sure.
• 16:04
  So I I totally understand that, but didn't.
• 16:06
  Brief. We didn't brief the night
• 16:08
  before. But have a better briefing maybe
• 16:10
  too. Have.
• 16:12
  Someone showing us the actual or yeah, like maybe have some
• 16:18
  recordings and then once it comes out, send us all the
• 16:21
  recordings so we could go over it, you know what I mean?
• 16:24
  It's ridiculous. Oh, we're not there yet, Tyler,
• 16:27
  you'll have your pants. Sorry.
• 16:29
  I'm and and I remember you saying if this ends up costing
• 16:36
  me a GameSpot, that is not right.
• 16:39
  Like in the truck, in the truck push.
• 16:41
  Yeah. And you were all within one
• 16:44
  point. So and.
• 16:45
  Then that really matters. And then on the inside, that was
• 16:50
  the. That was what did it.
• 16:52
  I know, it's so sad. Did.
• 16:56
  Did you, did you hear anybody else complaining like any of
• 16:59
  your other fellow athletes that were, you know?
• 17:02
  I mean, I think there was just all, everyone was just all kind
• 17:05
  of weirded out about it and in a sense of just like not
• 17:08
  understanding what cause yeah, there were a couple 2 girls that
• 17:11
  had just finished that I know. And I went up to them and they
• 17:13
  were just like, I don't understand, like what?
• 17:15
  Why, you know, just, it was just kind of confusing, I guess.
• 17:20
  Can you explain the final workout and what transpired?
• 17:25
  Cause what I had been told, you know, sitting here in Nashville,
• 17:28
  is that, you know, the weights were changed and there's a lot
• 17:33
  of confusion. Obviously we know now that the
• 17:35
  men's side was definitely confusing on the women's side.
• 17:39
  What was that for your perspective of changing the
• 17:42
  weights? Lowering the weight down?
• 17:45
  Confusion, Last minute adjustment?
• 17:48
  Again, you just got to, I feel like some people when they go
• 17:54
  into the briefings and stuff, they just I what, how do I say
• 18:02
  this nicely? Some of the girls that go in
• 18:04
  there, they, they go in things are said and they still have to
• 18:08
  ask questions, ask questions, ask like what, what, what like
• 18:11
  100 times. And it's just like, listen, it's
• 18:14
  what they said. And we're not going to sit here
• 18:17
  and complain about it right now. Like we just have to like I
• 18:21
  think in this sport, you do have to be able to work with changes
• 18:27
  or you know, like pivot or whatever.
• 18:29
  If something happens, who the F cares?
• 18:32
  You know what I mean? Get over it and and work with
• 18:35
  what you've got. You know, yes, you can complain
• 18:38
  later, but like, you just kind of have to figure it out or else
• 18:41
  you'll just be sitting there thinking about what has been
• 18:44
  changed. I mean, we all only got told
• 18:47
  that under the tent. I was told that about the men's
• 18:51
  weight maybe like an hour before.
• 18:52
  So I was kind of going around asking people and people were
• 18:55
  like, rumor, rumor. I don't know yet.
• 18:57
  So none of us really knew until we were at the briefing tent and
• 19:04
  it they actually didn't tell us. They just said, hey, the board
• 19:08
  over there. The those are the colors of the
• 19:11
  weights, which I actually liked because I was like, OK, all I
• 19:13
  have to think about is red and yellow and then red, yellow,
• 19:16
  white for the. Wrong colors.
• 19:19
  Not for us, no. No.
• 19:21
  The menswear no. At least not for you.
• 19:23
  That's good. Yeah, so the color.
• 19:26
  And that's what happened with Nate.
• 19:27
  The color scheme for the men, whereas a certain color scheme
• 19:32
  and they said little blue at the end of it, the problem, but
• 19:35
  there's they had 325. That's what that color scheme is
• 19:39
  at 325. It is whites.
• 19:42
  The little Blues are 315. So the entire men's field except
• 19:47
  Ilya did 3:05 and then 3:15. And that's what it's supposed to
• 19:52
  be. It's.
• 19:53
  Supposed to. Be 335.
• 19:55
  Right, but it was supposed. No, before they changed it
• 19:58
  though. Before, Yeah, yeah.
• 19:59
  After they changed it, it was supposed to be 325 which would
• 20:02
  be the whites. And.
• 20:05
  Then and then Blair changed Ilya's weights when he was
• 20:09
  walking up to it. Ilya had little Blues on the guy
• 20:11
  that won the event. Blair changed one of his set to
• 20:15
  whites. He changed the other side.
• 20:17
  Taylor is filming this, right? And he sees that Blair changed
• 20:21
  it to whites, which is 325, right?
• 20:24
  That's what it's supposed to supposed to be.
• 20:27
  And then Nate had went to put on whites.
• 20:31
  Now everybody else did little Blues and they're like, this is
• 20:34
  a problem. Everybody did little Blues.
• 20:35
  And then like, we'll just let Iliad do it and hopefully
• 20:38
  nothing bad happens. That's literally what happened.
• 20:41
  And then Nate went to put on whites.
• 20:45
  His judge was like, no little blue because they, they were
• 20:48
  told the same thing you guys were told.
• 20:49
  They told just colors again, that's 3/15.
• 20:54
  He goes, he goes to Taylor, who's right there?
• 20:57
  Is it little blue or is it white Taylor, who just saw Blair
• 21:00
  change Ilya's weights too? White and.
• 21:03
  Him and he knows that that's 325.
• 21:06
  He knows that whites are 325 also.
• 21:08
  And we were told that's the last weight.
• 21:10
  The last weight's 325. So he goes I think it's white
• 21:15
  and then Nate goes to change it to white.
• 21:17
  The head judge runs in at this point and says no it's little
• 21:20
  blue and then he re changes his whites and then puts little
• 21:25
  Blues on and then does the ugliest clean we saw all week.
• 21:29
  Yeah, but he got it. Is that what the picture is on
• 21:31
  your thing? Yeah, yeah.
• 21:32
  And that was the Nate Ackerman experience, so.
• 21:35
  It's it's. It's so much more than just
• 21:39
  Taylor saying the wrong thing, Taylor saying what he thinks is
• 21:42
  right, what he was filmed, what Blair changed the weights to.
• 21:46
  And. Everybody else who had missed
• 21:48
  confusion, The drawing is really what effed everybody up.
• 21:52
  The drawing had 325 with little Blues, and it's 3:15.
• 21:57
  So they just needed to change that drawing to whites.
• 22:01
  But the problem is there's not a white marker.
• 22:03
  So how do we tell people it's whites and and then and then and
• 22:09
  now we have what we have? Oh yeah, I feel sad for him and
• 22:14
  his family, but I mean, see. And then it came down to that
• 22:19
  freaking Gator. Yeah, which is even crazier.
• 22:23
  Yeah. So looking ahead, we have 7-8
• 22:27
  weeks till the games. What's the plan is is there is
• 22:33
  the shoulder avoiding that? Are you not going to do cleans
• 22:35
  for the next 7 weeks and then just hope they don't show up at
• 22:37
  the games or? No, I feel like we probably
• 22:40
  will. I mean, we just got to assess
• 22:42
  when I get back to the gym and then kind of go to the drawing
• 22:45
  board from there. So we haven't really talked yet
• 22:47
  because I'm kind of in vacay mode here with my fam.
• 22:50
  And then, yeah, I'm heading back home on Friday and then I'll get
• 22:54
  training on Saturday. And yeah, again, we'll just kind
• 22:57
  of see how I'm feeling and then go to the drawing board from
• 23:01
  there. And.
• 23:01
  You still work. As they said sorry, adjust your
• 23:06
  training as they stand. You still work full time though,
• 23:09
  right? Part time so I'm a coach online
• 23:14
  and in person. OK.
• 23:17
  Does that change the next two months or do you still kind of
• 23:21
  keep you on their schedule? No, I'll probably do the same.
• 23:24
  Pretty well. I only do like 10 to 12 hours at
• 23:27
  the gym and then it's actually the online that takes a lot of
• 23:31
  time and I have like 12 clients, so that is a lot.
• 23:36
  But yeah, I'll, I'll get it done.
• 23:40
  I try to get it done, you know, a lot.
• 23:42
  I work a lot on the weekends just because of that, right?
• 23:45
  I'm training a lot during the week and then Thursday's my off
• 23:48
  day so I try to get a lot done then too but I make it work.
• 23:53
  Awesome. Well, I don't want to keep you
• 23:55
  much longer. Appreciate you, you know,
• 23:57
  joining in, let you get back to your family.
• 23:59
  Good luck. Thank you so much.
• 24:01
  And enjoy Albany, it'll be a great place for the.
• 24:05
  Is it Albany? Yes, it is.
• 24:07
  That's exactly how you. Play.
• 24:09
  Yeah, you keep calling it that girl.
• 24:10
  Albany. Albany for rich people.
• 24:14
  Albany, Oh, you're a little Albany.
• 24:16
  Yeah, Yeah. Thank you.
• 24:19
  Congrats, Hattie. Yeah.
• 24:21
  Thank you. Have a good one you guys.
• 24:25
  Is my is it me? It's my audio band.
• 24:30
  It's not me. I think it was.
• 24:32
  Hattie it was. Hattie dude, it's gone now.
• 24:35
  So hers is just messing with ours.
• 24:37
  Yeah, yeah, it's feeding back. She's.
• 24:40
  My volume down thinking it was too.
• 24:42
  Loud. No, no good.
• 24:43
  It was her, but it was only have it happening when John was
• 24:46
  talking for the longest time. So did it happen when you talked
• 24:49
  every time that last? Like, yeah, after after you
• 24:52
  started fixing it, it started going to everybody.
• 24:55
  So OK, so our our echo is coming through her computer.
• 24:58
  Her phone, I think my brother will call me and he'll put his
• 25:03
  phone like on a counter or something.
• 25:04
  And I'm like, Chase, will you pick up your freaking phone?
• 25:07
  Because I'll just get me the whole time.
• 25:12
  John, you've done a lot of traveling and.
• 25:15
  I'm not done. Mr. Worldwide over here.
• 25:21
  Yeah. Well, before hang on.
• 25:26
  Well, tell us about your travel first.
• 25:28
  I got to pull something up here. OK, you talk about Tennessee.
• 25:32
  I was wondering how you handled Norcal.
• 25:37
  Yeah, OK. Like as a broadcaster, do you
• 25:40
  well? I figured you were tired.
• 25:43
  Yeah, I was tired the I was. So I, I went to Miami and then
• 25:49
  the next week I did syndicate and then the next week was
• 25:53
  Norcal. And then this next week is
• 25:55
  Tampa. I'm flying to Tampa on Friday
• 25:58
  and then I'm not flying anywhere until, well, mid-july.
• 26:02
  I go to Dallas. So but I'm not flying.
• 26:05
  I'm just, I'll probably drive that and then two weeks later
• 26:08
  I'll fly to Albany for the CrossFit Games.
• 26:10
  And then if my grid team makes the playoffs, we will fly to
• 26:14
  Columbus, OH, for that two weeks after that.
• 26:17
  And then I'm not flying again until next year.
• 26:22
  Yeah. Is that the most travel you've
• 26:24
  ever done in your life in a month?
• 26:26
  Period. It was the most traveling I'd
• 26:28
  ever done two weeks ago. Is Leslie ready to kill you?
• 26:32
  No, but she's ready for me to be home.
• 26:34
  My like it's, it's, I mean, we're both, we're both ready for
• 26:38
  it. Thankfully she just got, she
• 26:41
  just got accepted to a part time job, so we've been looking for
• 26:45
  one and she's, you know, so travelling shouldn't be as hard.
• 26:50
  I've had my mom come over to take care of Abby a couple times
• 26:53
  and Abby went over there. But yeah, no, I'm ready to be
• 26:57
  done. I didn't know it was going to
• 26:58
  be, it was funny. Miami was fine, even though we
• 27:02
  got, you know. Throttled.
• 27:06
  Pretty bad like that was fine. Syndicate I like had this crazy
• 27:13
  like shut down after and I have no idea why but like there was
• 27:20
  there was like 2 days where I was like I mean borderline
• 27:23
  depressed and I, I come out of nowhere and I'm not like that at
• 27:28
  all. I'm super at peace 24/7 and for
• 27:32
  some reason it just hit me so hard after Syndicate and then
• 27:39
  Norcal. I feel great.
• 27:41
  Norcal was great. Like I, I think it was very
• 27:43
  chaotic. It was very hard as a broadcast
• 27:45
  team. But like I'm in great spirits.
• 27:49
  Then we'll see how Tampa goes. There you go.
• 27:52
  I don't know where Tyler went, but I do want to draw your
• 27:55
  attention down to the bottom left hand corner.
• 27:58
  WAD App is a new sponsor of the show.
• 28:02
  These guys are new to the market.
• 28:04
  It is. And if you guys remember
• 28:07
  watching the live stream at Syndicate, there's an ad read.
• 28:10
  I'm not going to read it directly to you because Tyler
• 28:13
  does that better, but it's basically an AI type training
• 28:17
  system. So you can like put in the types
• 28:20
  of movements you have, the length of workout and it'll
• 28:23
  create workouts for you and kind of it'll track that.
• 28:29
  It'll give you a personalized program if you want it.
• 28:31
  What I think a lot of people can use, especially during online
• 28:38
  competitions like the Community Cup that's happening right now,
• 28:41
  or the Last Chance qualifier. You've seen those where they
• 28:43
  have like recordings. This does the same thing.
• 28:46
  So you can set the time, the type of workout, and it'll
• 28:51
  record directly to your phone just like that.
• 28:53
  It'll have the automatic. Yeah, there you go.
• 28:55
  So like once you put in your like settings like what you
• 28:59
  want, I just want a 15 minute crossfitty workout and then it
• 29:05
  goes AMRAP burpees for time or hold on hold.
• 29:10
  On you just set a couple of them.
• 29:12
  Yeah, yeah. So I generate this one and it's
• 29:15
  18 rounds of Tabata, 40 seconds where it rests, 20 seconds.
• 29:19
  And then those are your movies, those are your movements.
• 29:22
  And then you can literally, OK, I don't like that one, I'll
• 29:25
  generate another one. And now we got push ups, sit ups
• 29:28
  and jumping air squats. And then so you can just
• 29:31
  continue to generate something until it fits your fancy.
• 29:34
  If you want weights in there, you put weights in there.
• 29:36
  I just said body weight and then and then it sets you off.
• 29:40
  Yeah. And then again, you can record
• 29:42
  it yourself, audit timer on the screen.
• 29:47
  There's a 7 day free trial. Yeah, that's true.
• 29:53
  The seven day free trial to use it.
• 29:55
  So if you're doing the Community Cup and you need to record
• 29:57
  yourself because you're going to win, or if you are one of the
• 30:00
  last chance qualifier athletes like say Kyra Milligan or Reese
• 30:04
  Littlewood, download it, use it and give it a try.
• 30:10
  So if something else go download it, check it out and show them
• 30:17
  that you guys at the Spin support our sponsors.
• 30:22
  Yeah, and and spit, correct me if I'm wrong, I feel like you
• 30:25
  can put in there. I just really want to be good at
• 30:28
  Nasty Nancy, like like just any workout or Fran.
• 30:32
  I want to be really good at Fran and then it will just generate
• 30:35
  workouts to make you better at Fran.
• 30:38
  Yeah, it definitely has. Not just Fran, but like it'll
• 30:40
  make you better like a whole bunch of workouts to get good at
• 30:43
  this whatever one thing you want to get good.
• 30:46
  Yeah, the onboarding asks a whole bunch of questions like
• 30:48
  what are your goals? Like you want to get stronger,
• 30:50
  better endurance, is it for just for fun, those types of things.
• 30:54
  So yeah, go ahead, get go download it.
• 30:58
  There's QR code down there. There's a link down in the
• 31:00
  description. Give it a try, sign up for the
• 31:03
  free trial, see if you like it. So go ahead and do that.
• 31:08
  And then also if you are doing on the bar frog grips code spin,
• 31:13
  you will get 15% off your next order which is now shipping to
• 31:17
  the US. Anybody know where Tyler?
• 31:21
  Went he had to turn his computer on and off.
• 31:23
  That was that was going on. Cool.
• 31:26
  All right, viewer comments. And I, I know one of you guys,
• 31:30
  people have been following the Murfreesboro story.
• 31:31
  I think there's one in here for you.
• 31:32
  So first of all, this one goes more to John.
• 31:36
  So Julian Eford or Juliani Ford, not sure.
• 31:41
  Great job with the broadcast these couple of weeks.
• 31:44
  John, you are the Stephen A Smith of CrossFit.
• 31:50
  Is that the end of the comment? No, no.
• 31:54
  Do you like that comparison? I I really don't I, I think I'm
• 31:58
  way more Nick right than Stephen A Smith.
• 32:01
  I think Stephen A Smith. Here's the thing.
• 32:04
  I know I yell and Stephen A Smith yells and I get that.
• 32:08
  I get that comparison, but I think I back up all of my
• 32:13
  opinions by some factual evidence or or some athlete
• 32:20
  knowledge. It's not just heart based
• 32:23
  opinion. Like I have a reason.
• 32:24
  I believe certain things, I predict certain things and most
• 32:28
  of the time those predictions are better than everybody else
• 32:30
  that's predicting things. And that falls in line with Nick
• 32:34
  Wright way, way more than Stephen A Smith.
• 32:39
  So I now Dustin, you got me. Or is what is hold on, hold on.
• 32:45
  I think crossfat I that is very true.
• 32:48
  I do have the Stephen A hairline.
• 32:49
  That's very clever. That's one of your better ones.
• 32:54
  But yeah, I'd much be, I would much more be reference for that
• 32:57
  guy than Stephen A Smith. Tyler's computer sucks, so you
• 33:03
  are the Stephen A Smith of CrossFit in the community and
• 33:05
  sport needs that because it'll toughen the soft athletes.
• 33:10
  Also. I can't believe that was your
• 33:11
  first time in, in and out. I thought you had one in Texas.
• 33:16
  I think there's in and out in Texas.
• 33:17
  I just don't eat there. What do you think?
• 33:20
  In and out, I think it's overrated.
• 33:22
  Overrated OK. Now I only had the French fries,
• 33:25
  but they were overrated. The burger is better, I will say
• 33:29
  that. Only the French fries.
• 33:32
  So you went to a burger place and did not get a burger?
• 33:35
  No, I don't. I don't eat the buns or the OR
• 33:38
  what comes with it. They just gave me patties.
• 33:40
  I would eat that, but I did. Not hold up so you so you won't
• 33:45
  eat the buns, but you'll eat a 10 piece or 20 piece chicken
• 33:47
  nugget with the breading. This is this is the worst thing
• 33:52
  about me and y'all just have to accept it.
• 33:55
  OK, I understand that this is the worst thing about me as a
• 34:00
  person. I'm pretty sure when I even like
• 34:03
  when I met Leslie, I was like, hey, I'm just letting you know
• 34:07
  like this right here. If you can deal with this like
• 34:11
  we're gonna, I will be the greatest husband to you.
• 34:14
  I, I won't let myself get fat for the most part, I'll try to
• 34:19
  keep things romantical like, like, I promise you, I will do
• 34:22
  so many things for you, but you have to accept this and I will
• 34:26
  not. I do not want to be changed.
• 34:29
  And that is I have certain eating habits and I don't want
• 34:33
  those to be changed. I will not bunch on these on
• 34:37
  this thing and it's just it's really bad.
• 34:40
  It's really bad. I wish I wasn't this way, but
• 34:43
  it's it's the worst part about me as a person and you just you
• 34:47
  just have to accept me span. OK, I will accept you.
• 34:53
  Michael Sajelski. Sajelski, he is not going to be
• 34:58
  a senior analyst in the CrossFit space. 6 days ago Bill Leahy is
• 35:04
  not going to the CrossFit Games. That's unfortunate that you were
• 35:09
  that wrong, good Sir. Tyler, are you OK?
• 35:15
  Tyler, can you hear me? Tyler, OK.
• 35:24
  It's going to be good. Andrew Farmer.
• 35:28
  Actually, we'll skip that one. Pete F64, that's going all the
• 35:32
  way back. The Syndicate B team commentary
• 35:34
  was actually really good spin could easily step up to an
• 35:38
  A-Team play by play spot. Even with the watch along vibe.
• 35:42
  He was on the ball with the action on the floor, so I just
• 35:45
  had to pat my belt self on the back on that one.
• 35:48
  I want to, I want to pull this up.
• 35:49
  Marco, I don't know if you've ever seen me with my shirt off,
• 35:53
  but I think this is a very offensive statement.
• 35:56
  OK, I'm overweight. For me, I'm still ripped up more
• 36:00
  than 99% of the population. You're just.
• 36:04
  I'm sorry you're. Just training for Grid League.
• 36:05
  It's like a. It's like a.
• 36:06
  Role in the movie called Overweight.
• 36:08
  Like I'm some freaking regular Walmart person.
• 36:12
  OK, like I still do CrossFit. No offense to Walmart people,
• 36:19
  but you know what you are. You need a GoFundMe for Tyler's
• 36:22
  new computer. What would what would we do for
• 36:27
  his five minute challenge, John? Tyler.
• 36:30
  Yeah. What do you mean like?
• 36:32
  Like he obviously you know Sarah from was it Biomax now got you
• 36:38
  ATV right? You did 100 burp bar facing
• 36:41
  burpees in under 5 minutes. What would what would Tyler's be
• 36:44
  to get him a new computer? I mean, I think it's the same
• 36:47
  thing, dude. You think?
• 36:49
  I don't think you people know how hard that is.
• 36:52
  I I don't think Tyler can do that.
• 36:54
  Just don't think so. No, you go ahead and try Spin I
• 36:58
  I go ahead and try. Everybody listening?
• 37:01
  Try to. Do 100.
• 37:02
  I don't think I could do it. Tyler.
• 37:05
  I think Tyler should be able to. It's not AI, don't think it's a
• 37:09
  should be able to thing. Like, I think you have to be
• 37:11
  pretty darn fit to do that. So you think he he should get a
• 37:17
  get his computer if he can do 100?
• 37:18
  And he's good at burpees. Yeah.
• 37:20
  Yeah, Nah, he's good at burpees. I just think he like on a whim,
• 37:25
  I don't think he'd be able to because you just, you just have
• 37:27
  to hurt like you're going to hurt to do it now, you know,
• 37:32
  very, very fit people, like all semi finals people should be
• 37:35
  able to do it. Yeah, but Tyler's not that.
• 37:40
  Maybe we should do a show like that and just make him do.
• 37:44
  I, I, yeah, I, I, I would, I would love to see him do 100 bar
• 37:48
  facing burpees and see what his time is.
• 37:50
  I like it. We'll get to the last one.
• 37:53
  I know Tyler's kind of interested in it, but we can't
• 37:56
  wait. We have we have until 9:00
• 37:59
  Eastern and then Savon has Alex Gazan on the show, so we can't
• 38:05
  be running late. I was much fitter when I did
• 38:08
  those burpees. Yes, this year's open, I'm
• 38:13
  training for a great Where have you been, JRW?
• 38:15
  Come on. Yeah, Andrew Farmer, I'm here
• 38:20
  for the weekly Murfreesboro updates.
• 38:23
  And Speaking of that, if you guys have been following my
• 38:28
  Instagram, they caught the zebra John.
• 38:31
  They. Caught them.
• 38:32
  They caught the zebra. Where was he?
• 38:35
  He was just hanging out in in a field somewhere.
• 38:38
  So basically this person named Taylor Ford has 115 acre farm in
• 38:45
  Christiano which is right outside Murfreesboro and they
• 38:49
  bought the zebra to basically impress their friends and their
• 38:55
  kids friends and it escaped a day after they got it.
• 39:01
  It was meant to be the ultimate escape they don't know, meant to
• 39:07
  be the ultimate showpiece for the Ford family.
• 39:15
  So the the the zebra was named Zeke.
• 39:17
  They've changed it to Ed. Any guesses on why they changed
• 39:21
  it to Ed? John.
• 39:22
  Because Zeke was escaped. Zeke left when that zebra left.
• 39:27
  No, it's actually off of Ed Hockley, NFL ref.
• 39:34
  So anyway, they, yeah, they wanted a wow factor, so they
• 39:37
  bought a zebra. They saw somebody in Nashville
• 39:40
  have them, and so they decided they wanted to get it
• 39:42
  themselves. But now they're not sure what
• 39:45
  they're going to do with it, if they're going to keep it,
• 39:46
  because they don't know how it escaped and they don't want it
• 39:49
  to happen again. Oh look, we're talking about the
• 39:53
  zebra. Tyler, we'll see.
• 39:56
  We'll see. If it works, is it how right
• 39:59
  now? You're doing great as.
• 40:01
  Good as any We're talking about the zebra, how it was caught,
• 40:03
  and. Tony.
• 40:07
  No, it's Zeke. Zeke is the no, No, it's Ed.
• 40:11
  And now it's Ed. And Stony, the Tennessee King.
• 40:16
  The the Ford family bought a zebra to impress their friends
• 40:21
  and family. So if you're trying to impress
• 40:25
  your friends and family, what's that?
• 40:28
  The Fords Taylor Ford and his wife Laura, Yes.
• 40:32
  Oh, I thought you meant like the the Ford Motor Company Ford.
• 40:35
  Yeah, those are. Henry.
• 40:38
  Ford's kids. Yeah, yeah, long, long
• 40:41
  descendants. But yeah, all, all safe.
• 40:47
  They're not sure what they're going to do with the zebra, but
• 40:50
  if you're following along in Murfreesboro, I'm really curious
• 40:52
  about that story. That is what happened.
• 40:56
  Speaking of which, I think first of all, can you do 100 bar
• 41:00
  facing burpees in under 5 minutes?
• 41:03
  No. Thank you for your honesty
• 41:07
  Tyler. I try to.
• 41:09
  I don't think I can. I mean, I can.
• 41:11
  Try I tried to tell spin. You don't understand how hard
• 41:14
  that is. I know it's like I like I know
• 41:19
  we're thinking I did it, so it can't be that hard.
• 41:21
  I understand like that's the thought, the thought process
• 41:25
  that is. Really, really really.
• 41:27
  Fast for normal people, like it's very, very fast.
• 41:33
  Again, I I do think every semi finals athlete should be able to
• 41:36
  do that. But like, that's the fitness.
• 41:38
  Like if you asked me Bryson, yeah, I think Bryson could, but
• 41:42
  it would be like 440 like it, it would be much closer than you
• 41:47
  think it would like. But and and, and and for people
• 41:52
  who like go try, go try to do it.
• 41:55
  I just don't think you understand how hard that is.
• 41:58
  I think we should do a challenge, Tyler, for a new
• 42:00
  computer. I think we could raise enough
• 42:02
  money if you could do it. So that's what's been, yeah, but
• 42:05
  I don't think it should be burpees because I don't want to
• 42:08
  set you up for failure. What about 100 handstand push
• 42:11
  ups in 5 minutes? What in in how long?
• 42:19
  Yes. No dude, that's crazy. 100
• 42:26
  handstand push 100 free standing handstand push ups in five.
• 42:29
  Minutes. No.
• 42:31
  Just strict handstand push ups. I understand there's no way you
• 42:37
  can do. That you I didn't say I didn't
• 42:40
  say I can. No.
• 42:42
  You're really good at handstand push ups, Tyler.
• 42:45
  Not that good. I I've done 75-8 minutes, maybe
• 42:49
  I've I've done 75 under 5 minutes.
• 42:56
  OK, that's why I think that's better than me.
• 42:59
  I would have to start training like crazy to be.
• 43:00
  Able to. I was listen, listen again.
• 43:03
  I was lighter when I did that. I can't do that now.
• 43:08
  I don't know. I'll probably get close because
• 43:09
  I can do 50 and three. Yeah, but that I feel like that
• 43:14
  second 50 would be a lot harder. For sure.
• 43:17
  I didn't say 100. I said I've done 75 under 5.
• 43:20
  What about 100? Kipping, Tyler.
• 43:25
  In 5 minutes I think I'd still be hard pressed.
• 43:28
  Well, it's supposed to be hard. We're buying you a computer.
• 43:32
  I mean, I'll do. If they want to try left my body
• 43:35
  when I did that was perfect. Tyler like like like it's
• 43:40
  supposed to be difficult. No, I would.
• 43:43
  Definitely. Try for sure.
• 43:45
  OK, OK. What about this?
• 43:47
  What about this unbroken 100 foot walking over?
• 43:49
  He can't do it. You couldn't pay, you couldn't
• 43:52
  pay me enough to be able to do it.
• 43:54
  Oh, I'll give you $50,000 if you could do.
• 44:00
  What about? What about Fran?
• 44:01
  Under 2 minutes. No way.
• 44:07
  It's just unbroken if you can go unbroken.
• 44:10
  There's no way I my best time's 245.
• 44:14
  I don't think I can. Shake no way I've done two
• 44:17
  15217. Yeah, but we've seen you front
• 44:22
  squat, John. We know what that was.
• 44:23
  It's on Instagram. It's it's because Hitler said I,
• 44:26
  I never did Fran. And I said I could do it
• 44:28
  unbroken and I did it and it was 217.
• 44:34
  I I don't think I could do it another two.
• 44:36
  I mean, I'll try if you go. Unbroken.
• 44:38
  If you go unbroken, it should be under 215 and then you just have
• 44:42
  to push the pace. Unbroken on Fran is 215.
• 44:47
  Yeah, we. Got we got to do something to
• 44:51
  get you a new computer so. It's got to be hard, Tyler.
• 44:54
  It can't just be something like, Oh yeah, I got that.
• 44:57
  Like it's got to be something like you don't know if.
• 44:59
  You have, yeah. Nobody thought John was going to
• 45:00
  get his TV, especially, especially 80 reps in I think I
• 45:05
  got. ATV for doing Robin?
• 45:09
  It was like $2000 for the burpees is.
• 45:12
  That what it was. Yeah, because I did, Robin and
• 45:15
  nobody else, nobody else to this date has done that workout to
• 45:19
  completion under 12 minutes. And I want to say I was like
• 45:23
  1050. I know Wall Street tried and he
• 45:28
  didn't do it. Yeah.
• 45:31
  That that that workout was fun to watch too.
• 45:34
  John or Tyler? Sorry Tyler are you OK?
• 45:40
  Tell us about your ever loving. I got it, man.
• 45:43
  I got it. You got it.
• 45:43
  You got it. What about 30 ring muscle UPS?
• 45:46
  30 ring muscle UPS. In how long?
• 45:50
  In 5 minutes. Oh yeah.
• 45:54
  Easy. Yeah, I can do that no problem.
• 45:56
  Easy. OK, 40 because I'm going to.
• 45:59
  Do 20 and then I'm going to see the rest after a long ass break.
• 46:09
  Yeah, yeah, 'cause I I can do, I can do 30.
• 46:11
  Ring my slaps under 5 minutes. Let's let's go 40.
• 46:13
  Let's go 40. In 5 minutes.
• 46:18
  Yeah, I think. They can do that you.
• 46:23
  Want to call out you want to call out spin.
• 46:25
  Yeah, if the audience wants to do.
• 46:27
  You think 40 is? Do you think 40 is enough?
• 46:33
  50 sounds more fun, but it does sound more fun.
• 46:37
  But I, I don't think you have 50.
• 46:40
  I don't think you have 50 though.
• 46:41
  In 5 minutes. Oh, we hit a bunch of no's.
• 46:45
  Has to be 50 guys. He has to be able to do it
• 46:50
  though. I still think you people who
• 46:54
  could do who could do 2 ring muscle UPS Max right?
• 46:58
  Got to be 50. It ain't 40 ain't nothing.
• 47:01
  No no, I think 40 is fair because once you once you run
• 47:08
  into like you don't have big sets anymore, then you're you're
• 47:11
  essentially screwed. You're at 3 at a time.
• 47:16
  Yeah, 30 is before you really hit any pain cave. 40 is what
• 47:19
  like after 30 you're going to be.
• 47:21
  Scrambling. I mean, I don't think any of
• 47:23
  them cave because it's muscle fatigue.
• 47:27
  A lot of people are saying I'm muscle.
• 47:28
  Fatigue can be in The Cave. Unbroken.
• 47:30
  Yeah, I can't do it. I can't do it.
• 47:32
  I've tried. I think I can do like 80
• 47:34
  unbroken and that's like my lifetime PR.
• 47:38
  Oh, my dad has a great point here, Tyler.
• 47:41
  What? That's a great point.
• 47:46
  It's a great point. In 5 minutes, do you think?
• 47:49
  Do you think 100 burpees in 5 minutes is more impressive than
• 47:52
  50 burpees in 5 minutes? I don't think you understand
• 48:01
  what you just said. What do you mean go?
• 48:07
  Ahead. Say it again, Tyler.
• 48:10
  Do you think that 100 burpees in 5 minutes is more impressive
• 48:13
  than 50 muscle UPS in five? Minutes.
• 48:17
  Oh, did I say burpees twice? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 48:21
  Sorry. I don't know.
• 48:27
  I I probably put them on the same plane.
• 48:31
  Yeah, because I'll try. I'll, I'll just try.
• 48:36
  I'll try something. Do I got to do it live or do I
• 48:39
  got to do it? Oh, it's got to be live, Yeah.
• 48:42
  Yeah, how else we're going to get paid for?
• 48:43
  This Tyler Tyler, I didn't get money for just taking a video
• 48:47
  and putting it on there. I didn't know what was going to
• 48:49
  happen and I prayed to God. And that's for the record, I
• 48:56
  think 40 is, is the number you're getting bullied into 50.
• 49:01
  I do. I'll do 50.
• 49:03
  Fuck them, who was he knew where it goes down.
• 49:08
  That's painful. I have that.
• 49:11
  I want to see 5 minutes of dragging.
• 49:12
  I want I want to see 5 minutes of dragging it out.
• 49:14
  OK, OK, OK, OK. How about this?
• 49:18
  How about this if he does 40 in 5 minutes we will get him a low
• 49:23
  budget computer and then if we get if he does low budget.
• 49:26
  That's not going to fix anything.
• 49:28
  I mean, he's going like that. And then if he does 50, we'll
• 49:33
  get him a really nice computer. You do something.
• 49:36
  Like that, it's actually the I think it's the Internet.
• 49:38
  Am I better now? You're you speak fine, you look
• 49:41
  bad. Yeah, that's fine.
• 49:44
  That's. Like I, I like how you sound.
• 49:46
  I just don't like what you look like.
• 49:49
  No. OK, the listen.
• 49:52
  Hey, hey. I think I would try to do 5
• 49:55
  every 30 seconds. I really don't think you have a
• 49:59
  shot. I think 40 is the number.
• 50:01
  I, I, I don't think you can do 5050 so much like I don't think
• 50:08
  people understand how, how much. 50 is crazy.
• 50:13
  Like I. See what?
• 50:17
  I think I think 40. Is Hiller's better at muscle ups
• 50:20
  than me? So if he sings.
• 50:23
  There's what that means. Well, he's saying no chance for
• 50:25
  you. I think that's what he has is
• 50:31
  probably a Lenovo where he has a Dell.
• 50:34
  I got a Dell. Fuck, I want to do it now
• 50:40
  because Hitler says it can't do it.
• 50:43
  I'm going to test it this week and then I'll, I'll, we'll,
• 50:46
  we'll, we'll schedule a time. I'll give you $500.
• 50:50
  No, there is no testing. You have to do it tomorrow live
• 50:53
  at 8:00 in the morning. That's.
• 50:55
  What? No, I'm not doing.
• 50:57
  Tyler. Tyler, You know what?
• 50:58
  I'm doing what happened to me. They brought up something I
• 51:01
  couldn't do. I had to go live in 12 hours,
• 51:04
  and then that's what happened. And then a miracle happened.
• 51:07
  OK, Tyler. We're already asking for a
• 51:10
  miracle. We don't need two people.
• 51:11
  You don't. You don't get to test sit and to
• 51:14
  be like, Oh no, it's not going to happen.
• 51:16
  Like you just got to rock it. We'll get I'm not doing it at
• 51:25
  8:00 in the morning. My dad, my dad is evil right
• 51:28
  now. He just, he's just acting this
• 51:30
  song. I like it.
• 51:33
  All right, we will. We will get that done.
• 51:36
  All right, timing, timing TV hold on.
• 51:38
  How about I will I will 50 bar muscle UPS?
• 51:43
  I don't know that that's any easier for me than ring muscle
• 51:46
  UPS. Way easier.
• 51:49
  Muscle failure wise. Way easier.
• 51:51
  Well, that's a good point because I did the community Cup
• 51:54
  workout and I was, I was like hurt and bad and then I jumped
• 51:58
  up and did 12 unbroken. So you might have a chance
• 52:00
  there. Hiller House 50 bar muscle UPS.
• 52:03
  50 bar muscle UPS, is it possible?
• 52:08
  Abby says no. Yeah, Abby, Abby said.
• 52:11
  No shot. While we got Tyler on a rant,
• 52:17
  Tyler loves Norcal. Classic Tyler.
• 52:23
  That's a hard non sequitur there.
• 52:27
  How do we feel about the Norcal Classic overall?
• 52:31
  I knew you're all stocks. You did love it.
• 52:38
  I, I will tell you that that they did not set us up as a
• 52:42
  broadcast for super success, but I think I do think they're very
• 52:48
  fast on their feet with making adjustments that kind of have to
• 52:53
  be the way they're ran. Oh, so it's possible enough that
• 52:58
  he will not give you money. Do you want to do, do you want
• 53:01
  to just throw the number 50 out there 'cause he'll give you $500
• 53:05
  and I think Spin will pledge another $500?
• 53:09
  We'll get you. We'll get you a computer.
• 53:11
  For every minute I go over over 50 or over 5 minutes just.
• 53:16
  That's not it, Taylor said. Taylor said five O 1, I get
• 53:20
  nothing. That's what I was told.
• 53:24
  Fuck it, all right, we're doing 50 ring muscle UPS.
• 53:29
  All right, when you want to do it.
• 53:31
  Not at 8:00 AM tomorrow. We'll have to figure out the
• 53:33
  timing out. OK, we have to figure out a
• 53:35
  time. I go to Tampa this weekend, so I
• 53:38
  I can't like we have to wait till I'm back it'll.
• 53:40
  Be soon. It'll be soon, John.
• 53:43
  Not something else still up for success on the broadcast.
• 53:47
  But did you like? Did you like it there though?
• 53:49
  No, no. Environment was great.
• 53:52
  Environment was great the yes, there's a lot of stuff like
• 53:57
  something's wrong with literally every event that's not great,
• 53:59
  but the like the people there were great.
• 54:02
  The environment was great broadcasting was great.
• 54:06
  I met Dave for the first time in person.
• 54:08
  That was an interesting experience.
• 54:13
  The also, this was my common conversation with him.
• 54:17
  Spinner, Are you ready? And OK, Yeah, I said, hey, he
• 54:23
  walked into the tent. I said, hey, Dave, I'm John.
• 54:26
  You know, we've I just thought I'd introduce myself.
• 54:29
  He was have we met? All right.
• 54:30
  So he said, I think we've met. And I said, no, just on podcast,
• 54:33
  never in person. And he goes, you have beautiful
• 54:36
  eyes. And I'm like, thank you, Dave.
• 54:41
  You do have very powerful eyes, I.
• 54:43
  Will say that I've I've yes, I've been told by but then and
• 54:50
  then and then and then Savon goes, yeah, this is a low budget
• 54:53
  Nan Bailey. And then he thought that was
• 54:55
  funny. I didn't really think that was
• 54:57
  that funny. But and then that was it.
• 55:00
  That was the end of our conversation.
• 55:01
  But I had something else happened.
• 55:04
  I will, but I will say it off air.
• 55:07
  OK. Can you give us a hint?
• 55:10
  No. With Dave, yeah.
• 55:15
  Didn't Dave tell you that you were like talking too much or
• 55:18
  something when you were on the? No, he wouldn't say that to me.
• 55:24
  Me and Dave were like this. Span thoughts?
• 55:32
  It was such a stark contrast to what we experienced the week
• 55:36
  before, right? Like Syndicate crown, like I
• 55:43
  still can't get over the amount of preparation and testing and
• 55:49
  run throughs that Wilson and team did.
• 55:51
  Like I remember doing the one of the like night shows, maybe it
• 55:57
  was on Thursday night. We were sitting out there and
• 56:02
  they were the the judges were all out there and they were
• 56:06
  watching them kind of just go through the run through of what
• 56:09
  it how you're going to judge the first event and right, it's
• 56:16
  Isabel. It's not that hard.
• 56:17
  The next thing I know, I see them ripping up the tape off the
• 56:20
  floor for five lanes and I watched them put new tape down.
• 56:26
  I. Hear baby Brian.
• 56:29
  Oh, yeah. And I'm like, oh, they're just
• 56:30
  kind of moving tape lines. OK, whatever.
• 56:33
  That's what they did it over and over and over again.
• 56:39
  And I asked Wilson, I was like, do you always like, like, yeah,
• 56:42
  we changed the like we literally go through and run dry, run the
• 56:45
  tape to make sure we know how long it takes, what it takes,
• 56:50
  make sure the tape is done right.
• 56:52
  Every team knows what tape to put down, what tape to pull off.
• 56:56
  It did it every single night as we are doing a post, you know,
• 57:00
  end of day recap show. I don't think that was done for
• 57:04
  Norcal. I have a go ahead.
• 57:09
  And IIA 100% appreciate the backyard style IA hundred 100%
• 57:17
  appreciate how much the community came like how they're
• 57:23
  all there. Like there's thousands of people
• 57:25
  there. And it's just a cool feeling.
• 57:28
  Like again, I think it takes you back to the ranch.
• 57:30
  And I think that's what Ben and Blair want to do.
• 57:33
  And I and I think it having an event announced in what was that
• 57:38
  January they announced it that they are going to add this to
• 57:41
  it. There's a lot to do from finding
• 57:45
  the new selection, site selection, moving things up, all
• 57:49
  that stuff. That's a lot of work and and can
• 57:53
  be very, very challenging. I don't think they set
• 57:56
  themselves up for success though of how they operate the
• 58:01
  competition. Well, maybe that's the best way
• 58:04
  to start one week out. So when I left Syndicate was
• 58:10
  driving and talked to Hiller for a while and then I text Susa and
• 58:14
  I said I think you should pull out a Norcal because on Sunday
• 58:19
  at Syndicate we knew 0 about Norcal.
• 58:23
  I knew everything there was to know about Syndicate. 3 months
• 58:26
  out and we still had hiccups. And I was like, as a
• 58:29
  representative, like as a representation of our team and
• 58:32
  knowing that we're under fire at the moment, you shouldn't go.
• 58:36
  And, you know, did I know that they were going to go?
• 58:40
  Yeah. I knew that we were going to do
• 58:42
  it anyway because we committed to doing it.
• 58:44
  But I told them, I said I'd call them and put them in their place
• 58:47
  because I mean, the Wilson set such a high bar for prepping for
• 58:53
  us that I was like, we still messed up stuff.
• 58:57
  And it was like we had everything we could have asked
• 58:59
  for and we have nothing right now.
• 59:01
  And I was like, you're, you're, you're running uphill with a
• 59:04
  weight vest on and you haven't slept in six days sort of sort
• 59:08
  of feeling. And so to start it off, I have a
• 59:15
  list that I compiled across the weekend.
• 59:17
  Of everything you loved about. Workout can I can I so can I
• 59:21
  speak apart as as far as the preparation here.
• 59:23
  I'll I'll rock with you step by step, Tyler, if that's OK Like
• 59:27
  like we're talking about preparation and then I'll tell
• 59:29
  you like what it how was you? Probably.
• 59:31
  Do you? Probably.
• 59:33
  Should keep in mind we got we got 29 minutes till Sivan goes
• 59:36
  live with Alex. So we got.
• 59:38
  Around OK, like we didn't know the workouts until two days
• 59:41
  before the event started. We didn't know the roster until
• 59:44
  two days before the event started.
• 59:46
  So there was no way for us to do research on any of the people
• 59:50
  and like who's good at what not blah blah blah.
• 59:52
  I, I actually think the broadcast did really, really
• 59:56
  good. I really wish me and I think me
• 59:59
  and Bill's chemistry was the best it has been yet.
• 1:00:03
  And I really wish we could have like what we did there.
• 1:00:05
  We could have like that's how it was at Syndicate, 'cause I think
• 1:00:09
  it would have been. Amazing.
• 1:00:12
  And it's fine. It is what it is.
• 1:00:13
  But like I thought the broadcast improved.
• 1:00:15
  I don't think anything was bad about the broadcast for what we
• 1:00:19
  had to work with. I know we invested like a lot of
• 1:00:23
  money to try to get Internet and.
• 1:00:25
  This is 100% true. Yeah, this.
• 1:00:27
  Is very. Very $5000 or something like
• 1:00:30
  that to try to get more 7000 to try to get up.
• 1:00:35
  From that at this point. And like a month ahead of time,
• 1:00:39
  because we knew it was in that location, that location, it's
• 1:00:42
  impossible to get Internet. And then finally it came down to
• 1:00:46
  we have to rent out a cell tower, which is $40,000 a day to
• 1:00:52
  have Internet. That's what it was going to be.
• 1:00:56
  And so and then you have freaking comments on Reddit and
• 1:00:59
  I got this at my gym. I exploded on a guy at my gym
• 1:01:02
  today. I felt bad for it.
• 1:01:04
  He is one of mine. So I'm allowed to explode on
• 1:01:07
  him, explode on him. But but but Tyler.
• 1:01:12
  Why would? You said it anyway, why would
• 1:01:14
  you 2 He goes, he goes he goes. Why?
• 1:01:16
  Hey why did y'all not just get starlink?
• 1:01:19
  You don't think we freaking thought of that like it was?
• 1:01:23
  Impossible. We had two star links, AT&T and
• 1:01:26
  Verizon all linked together in one modem that bonds all of that
• 1:01:29
  together. And it still didn't fucking work
• 1:01:32
  because Ben and Blair didn't do the courtesy of being like,
• 1:01:36
  yeah, we we have you taken care of.
• 1:01:37
  Not only that, they weren't involved with any of it until
• 1:01:40
  until everybody showed up. Yeah, I'm not even on that.
• 1:01:45
  I'm just on the Internet, wasn't?
• 1:01:46
  Possible. So like the people that try to
• 1:01:50
  get Internet, like you're just you're really dumb if you think
• 1:01:55
  that's if you think nobody cared.
• 1:01:57
  Like we tried so hard to get Internet and it just was
• 1:02:00
  impossible. But anyway, didn't know the
• 1:02:02
  workouts, didn't know the roster 2 days beforehand.
• 1:02:04
  Go Tyler. I have a list that I've compiled
• 1:02:09
  of just examples of what happened throughout the weekend.
• 1:02:13
  Different ring diameters on the ring muscle UPS.
• 1:02:16
  Different shuttle distances for all the athletes.
• 1:02:18
  Shared plow boxes for risers. So shared plow boxes for those
• 1:02:21
  who wanted to jump up to a 92 inch pull up bar, even if you're
• 1:02:26
  shorter than Colton Merton's. Different distances to the
• 1:02:30
  barbells. No risers, plates on the floor
• 1:02:33
  that aren't being used, running to rowers with scorecards, no
• 1:02:38
  working viewable clocks on the floor.
• 1:02:40
  We got bitch for the clock and I'm being on the screen.
• 1:02:42
  At least Syndicate had one on the fucking floor.
• 1:02:46
  Last second workout changes on the.
• 1:02:48
  Screen if we wanted to, because there was it was I'm just no
• 1:02:52
  clock I'm going off of a stopwatch that I'm doing and I'm
• 1:02:55
  trying to time up with the a stream that's not from Internet
• 1:03:00
  that was a drone shot and I'm trying to time up that clock.
• 1:03:04
  There was a time there was a time where it was at 3 minutes
• 1:03:08
  and 15 seconds and I looked at the clock and then something
• 1:03:10
  happened and we started talking about it and I looked back down
• 1:03:12
  at the clock and then stopwatch. It turned off and then like I
• 1:03:15
  resevered that part of I re stopped to set the stopwatch and
• 1:03:19
  I was like add 325 and then like somebody came in at 5:17 and I'm
• 1:03:26
  like his final time is 8 eight 37837 is the time to be and I'm
• 1:03:33
  just hoping it's close. I like I'm doing math talk to
• 1:03:36
  have somebody in and I'm just hoping it's close.
• 1:03:40
  Speaking of timing, there were the all the judges had their own
• 1:03:43
  stopwatches which they looked. There were athletes who had tie
• 1:03:48
  break times that were not recorded is still on the
• 1:03:50
  leaderboard. A last second changes to
• 1:03:53
  workouts. Many if you do that one time,
• 1:03:56
  it's too many times. Lack of communication to
• 1:04:00
  everybody on the judging team. Anybody who instructed the
• 1:04:04
  workouts, they didn't fucking know the workouts.
• 1:04:07
  Ben and Blair themselves didn't know the workouts well enough.
• 1:04:10
  It was said that athletes after they needed to change the plates
• 1:04:13
  and Ben's or yeah, Ben said I don't know.
• 1:04:16
  What are you talking about? You don't know if you don't
• 1:04:19
  know. No one else at the competition
• 1:04:21
  knows. Last second communication.
• 1:04:23
  Gators are different ages. Tire pressure, tire tread, gas,
• 1:04:27
  the people driving them way differently.
• 1:04:30
  The terrain the Gators pushed on or were pushed on were
• 1:04:33
  different. The number of workouts or the
• 1:04:34
  number of athletes per lane were different.
• 1:04:38
  Uneven ground for pirouettes. Athletes running into each
• 1:04:41
  other. Incorrect info being briefed all
• 1:04:44
  competition long, not knowing the answers at the brief and the
• 1:04:51
  short bar. Couldn't hold 320 or 300.
• 1:04:55
  And 35. Pounds.
• 1:04:57
  This isn't even the entire list. My point about this is that the
• 1:05:05
  reason I called Susa and said hey, we should probably bail is
• 1:05:08
  because the way I look at CrossFit is you want to be the
• 1:05:13
  best, at least for yourself if not everybody else around you.
• 1:05:18
  If we want to be leaders in the CrossFit sphere, we have to put
• 1:05:22
  on the best show. Especially with WFP barking down
• 1:05:25
  the door. I become extra fucking depressed
• 1:05:29
  about this knowing that Ben and Blair are pinnacles in the
• 1:05:32
  community. They're legends.
• 1:05:34
  These guys have been superstars for a long time and it's like
• 1:05:37
  they were handed a semi final and somebody they said run it
• 1:05:41
  and Ben and Blair went OK. And we're not going to do it to
• 1:05:44
  the best of our ability because we hold the CrossFit sphere as
• 1:05:47
  sacred as we can. They let everybody down.
• 1:05:50
  No one, none of the athletes are going to go back to this event.
• 1:05:53
  It might have been great from a community perspective, but none
• 1:05:56
  of the athletes are going to return to this.
• 1:05:57
  So you've effectively taken out your own competition from ever
• 1:06:02
  being something like this ever again.
• 1:06:03
  What's incredible is that they've run competitions for
• 1:06:07
  years. They ran a competition two weeks
• 1:06:12
  before this one in Hawaii. You know, I wonder why they
• 1:06:14
  don't know anything that's going on at the Norcal Classic.
• 1:06:17
  They ran a competition in Hawaii.
• 1:06:19
  Hawaii. I didn't know that.
• 1:06:22
  Yep. So they failed.
• 1:06:28
  They failed as Ogs and I, I hold anybody who's up to running a
• 1:06:33
  semi final, you have to meet a standard.
• 1:06:36
  You have to meet a standard. Therefore, it's not totally
• 1:06:41
  their fault. Dave's number one weakness and
• 1:06:48
  the thing that is indefensible, that has always been
• 1:06:49
  indefensible from Dave is that he doesn't pay attention to the
• 1:06:52
  CrossFit community and what's going on outside in the
• 1:06:55
  competitive space that you can't take that luxury anymore.
• 1:07:02
  I'm behind Dave all the way, but you got to step it up.
• 1:07:08
  This is a lot of this is on you because you handed this to guys
• 1:07:11
  you trusted and you just kind of let it go.
• 1:07:14
  Wait, we're not, we can't afford this anymore.
• 1:07:17
  You had Mayhem that was run correctly and well.
• 1:07:20
  You had Syndicate that was run correctly and well, and then you
• 1:07:23
  have TFX that was run OK, And then you have Norcal that was a
• 1:07:27
  giant fucking turd on the whole season and is the only thing
• 1:07:31
  that anybody's going to remember because it was the last one.
• 1:07:34
  And we look like buffoons. And then you want to compare us
• 1:07:36
  to Taurian and they they're pros.
• 1:07:39
  They've been doing this forever and they have the most fantastic
• 1:07:42
  show. And it's I'm embarrassed for us
• 1:07:44
  as an American community. I'm embarrassed not only that we
• 1:07:51
  didn't give tickets to teams who went to semifinals.
• 1:07:55
  This was a huge fucking oversight because the reason
• 1:08:00
  teams go to semifinals is so they can qualify for the games.
• 1:08:03
  They also sell tickets that way because gyms go and watch their
• 1:08:08
  teams that are competing at semifinals to go to the games.
• 1:08:11
  Guess what you can't sell when that's not a thing.
• 1:08:13
  Fucking teams. Tickets or.
• 1:08:16
  Tickets that happened that impacted Torian, I think Pedro
• 1:08:19
  or Adrian today's mentioned that that Torian I didn't sell as
• 1:08:23
  many tickets because of teams not punching a ticket.
• 1:08:27
  Something I did think is cool though, and I'm not, I'm not,
• 1:08:32
  I'm not going to bat for him, so don't take it that way.
• 1:08:34
  But any time that something did happen, because stuff happened
• 1:08:38
  literally every event, they Ben and Blair did consult us as a
• 1:08:44
  like the Sevon crew on what do y'all think is the best way to
• 1:08:48
  go about fixing this? Like they were like they were,
• 1:08:51
  they were like this is what we think.
• 1:08:54
  Do y'all think this is good or bad?
• 1:08:57
  And like if we had a different thought process, then they they
• 1:09:02
  were willing to listen to us. I don't.
• 1:09:03
  I don't. I don't think that goes the way
• 1:09:05
  that it's not flying. You know what our job was at?
• 1:09:09
  We we appreciate. It the broadcast.
• 1:09:11
  I understand. We're not competition runners.
• 1:09:14
  We weren't tasked with that. That's irresponsible that they
• 1:09:16
  ask that. It's cool, fine, whatever.
• 1:09:18
  But like, the fact that they're coming to ask, it's already that
• 1:09:22
  you're already showing signs that you fucked up way down the
• 1:09:24
  line before you got there. That's cool and all, but like,
• 1:09:27
  don't ever fucking do that ever again.
• 1:09:29
  What are you doing? You need to be the master
• 1:09:32
  commander of this entire thing and you weren't and I think we
• 1:09:38
  look like sell outs. Who?
• 1:09:42
  If we don't, if we're not honest about with what our team, if
• 1:09:47
  we're not honest about what happened at Norcal, we look like
• 1:09:50
  sell outs. We look like Brian.
• 1:09:51
  Friend, do not, do not think we're being honest.
• 1:09:54
  No, we are now. But I think at the time people
• 1:09:59
  were like, yeah, they're just kind of letting whatever float.
• 1:10:01
  And I'm not letting whatever float because when Brian runs,
• 1:10:04
  when Brian runs a competition, when Brian broadcast competition
• 1:10:08
  and anything wrong happens, you don't ever hear about it.
• 1:10:11
  No, like we talked about shit that happened at Syndicate and
• 1:10:14
  like it was so embarrassingly, really bad at Norcal that if we
• 1:10:18
  don't talk about it, we're assholes.
• 1:10:20
  And I'm not going to let that happen.
• 1:10:21
  And I don't like what I have to do to Bear Blair and Ben right
• 1:10:25
  now. I don't like saying this, but
• 1:10:27
  it's like you're one of our own, You're one of our brothers, and
• 1:10:32
  we have to expect more than this.
• 1:10:34
  You guys did not execute at the best level that you could.
• 1:10:38
  You just read this though, John, and it doesn't look.
• 1:10:43
  It doesn't. Yeah, no, that's not.
• 1:10:44
  That's not like like, for instance, the what was it like
• 1:10:52
  the, the truck push? Like there was a debate whether
• 1:10:54
  just to scrap that event or not scrap that event.
• 1:10:58
  And, and then and like there was a big talk about that.
• 1:11:02
  And then we were just a part of that talk.
• 1:11:04
  I'm not saying they, they didn't was directly, they were, they
• 1:11:08
  had a thought process and then they, they asked us what did we
• 1:11:11
  think? And we liked the half scoring.
• 1:11:14
  I think that's the fairest way to do it.
• 1:11:15
  And or like you're only scored against your lane.
• 1:11:17
  It's worth half the points because it was messed up and
• 1:11:20
  then we said, or you can scrap it.
• 1:11:22
  Like those are two choices and like we just walk through that
• 1:11:25
  and then they make the final call.
• 1:11:26
  I don't want that to sound like something that it wasn't.
• 1:11:29
  I I completely agree, but like a lot of people wouldn't clue you
• 1:11:34
  in on that information. They just say this is how it.
• 1:11:36
  Is I think what we want is them not having to need that right?
• 1:11:40
  Like. Right.
• 1:11:41
  No, obviously the the. IT would be great if we just
• 1:11:43
  didn't need that to me. It sounds like, and again I
• 1:11:48
  wasn't there, but Ben and Blair, when you run a competition with
• 1:11:52
  over 1000 athletes, you need a. Really.
• 1:11:55
  Good team, right? Like you need a team that
• 1:11:59
  literally has everything down to like to the second, like
• 1:12:05
  everything is nailed down. And with that many divisions,
• 1:12:09
  that many different standards because it was like the same
• 1:12:11
  workouts, right? But different weights, different
• 1:12:14
  standards with rope climbs, different standards with
• 1:12:17
  pirouettes, everything was different.
• 1:12:20
  And as a judge, you're out there for 8 hours a day, you're going
• 1:12:23
  to forget what division you're in.
• 1:12:26
  What's the standard for the elite athletes versus?
• 1:12:29
  The that happened to me at. Right.
• 1:12:31
  Like it's very difficult, right? And.
• 1:12:35
  Get off the bike. Get off the bike.
• 1:12:42
  When can you appreciate, though, that having Norcal added at the
• 1:12:49
  last minute? And again, I don't know how it
• 1:12:51
  came about, whether Benton Blair asked for it or CrossFit asked
• 1:12:54
  them to do it. Is it good that we had one more
• 1:12:58
  competition for in person? Because it gave Alex, it gave
• 1:13:06
  Bill, it gave Hattie, it ended up giving Jorge the opportunity
• 1:13:10
  to qualify for the Games. Otherwise, there would have been
• 1:13:14
  13 spots on on the online semifinals.
• 1:13:19
  Would you rather had that, or would you rather have had what
• 1:13:22
  just happened this past weekend? First option.
• 1:13:27
  I here only can I change the question?
• 1:13:30
  Sure. I'm not going to answer yours.
• 1:13:34
  I, I think it is less egregious to have a competition be super
• 1:13:42
  chaotic like it. This was not from running a
• 1:13:45
  competition standpoint, but just from who I how to get to the
• 1:13:50
  games or like, you know, getting the right people to the game,
• 1:13:52
  blah, blah, blah, like that, that type of thing.
• 1:13:54
  And this might be, I, I might be in the minority of caring about
• 1:13:57
  this. Not that's OK, but I would
• 1:13:59
  rather have a chaotic competition that has a winner at
• 1:14:03
  the end of it. But the programming wasn't
• 1:14:07
  trash. And I'm not even saying their
• 1:14:09
  programming was good. There was a lot of like single
• 1:14:12
  modality stuff. The 30 ring muscle up run of it
• 1:14:14
  might as well just been 30 ring muscle up for time, right, like
• 1:14:17
  like the truck push was, I think kind of AI think it had.
• 1:14:21
  I think it was cool, but it missed like there's.
• 1:14:24
  I'm not saying the programming was great, but I don't think it
• 1:14:27
  was terrible. The TFX, The programming.
• 1:14:31
  Was fine. TFX programming is the worst
• 1:14:34
  programming to get somebody to the games I've ever seen it in
• 1:14:37
  wildland. Like I didn't think you could
• 1:14:40
  beat wildland because wildland had a standard issue like with
• 1:14:43
  sandbag squats and everything which basically ruined an event.
• 1:14:46
  But if your longest event is 8 minutes, that's a problem.
• 1:14:51
  And and I think I think programming matters far more
• 1:14:57
  than the competition was poorly ran or not executed well and it
• 1:15:01
  was chaos. See.
• 1:15:02
  I like I like the chaos of the programming.
• 1:15:05
  I like the TFX. We can say that the programming
• 1:15:08
  was trash. We can look at Wadlin and say
• 1:15:10
  the standards like the standards that's on them.
• 1:15:12
  But like not having workouts that were longer than 8 minutes
• 1:15:15
  like that's on them. But I think it adds to what
• 1:15:22
  we'll see at the games and if this continues on this type of
• 1:15:25
  style and Wadland's Wadland starts going every year and that
• 1:15:29
  they have this type of programming.
• 1:15:32
  I want to get through this. TFX didn't have running at all.
• 1:15:35
  That 550 meter jog was nothing. They were jogging it their 25
• 1:15:38
  minute event. Grant had 100 weighted stepovers
• 1:15:42
  and that's the crux of the event.
• 1:15:44
  Nick Matthew was third in the 25 minute event.
• 1:15:47
  That means it wasn't testing long endurance.
• 1:15:50
  Their crux was a strength weightlifting thing.
• 1:15:53
  In a 25 minute event, they tested 0 endurance.
• 1:15:56
  Their TFX was more skewed than the CrossFit Games was in 2024,
• 1:16:05
  and I did not think that that was possible.
• 1:16:08
  I'm OK with that. I don't have a problem with it.
• 1:16:10
  Let me read this real quick. Let me read this real quick.
• 1:16:12
  Sivan. We showed everything.
• 1:16:14
  Ben and Ben and Blair never asked us to hide anything.
• 1:16:17
  Event was amazing. Nate's notoriety is 50 times
• 1:16:20
  higher than it was before this weekend.
• 1:16:23
  They, you did show everything and I thought that that was
• 1:16:26
  great. But to say the event was
• 1:16:29
  amazing, You're you're so off base here.
• 1:16:32
  I think there's plenty of great outcomes that happened from it
• 1:16:36
  despite what happened might be a.
• 1:16:38
  Better way of putting it 100% fifty times more notable,
• 1:16:42
  notoriable. This, this, this event,
• 1:16:47
  notorious. There it is.
• 1:16:50
  But like it. He should be fucking going to
• 1:16:53
  the games, man. And it wasn't a good event.
• 1:16:59
  It was terrible. You guys did the best with the
• 1:17:02
  giant pile of shit that you could do with it, and you
• 1:17:06
  actually turn it into something very, very entertaining.
• 1:17:08
  Like I enjoyed watching it probably more than anything I've
• 1:17:11
  watched this. Year I was, I was happy that
• 1:17:13
  Sousa and team put it as a premiere, so I thought that was
• 1:17:16
  great just from a standpoint, if you could still live chat with
• 1:17:18
  it like that was really cool. It felt like you're watching it
• 1:17:21
  live even though it was right after.
• 1:17:25
  I think what Zevon's alluding to, though, and Jenny's
• 1:17:28
  clarifying here, is that the chaoticness added to the story
• 1:17:33
  of the whole event, right? Like it kind of built up into
• 1:17:37
  this last thing and then it had this climax.
• 1:17:39
  That was unfortunate for some and beneficial for others, but
• 1:17:44
  like the the story, everybody was in it.
• 1:17:47
  It's just everybody's a lot really upset with the story.
• 1:17:49
  The chaos is fine. It's the the the where the chaos
• 1:17:54
  come came from, and it's from the event organization.
• 1:17:58
  And it needs to be, it needs to be ran better.
• 1:18:00
  Like The thing is, it's just, it's just, it was just very
• 1:18:03
  poorly ran. That's Tyler.
• 1:18:06
  That's Tyler's point. The problem is it was every
• 1:18:10
  event had something. The other thing I wanted to say
• 1:18:15
  about the programming, and this is just from a personal
• 1:18:17
  standpoint, you can't do 10 pirouettes wall balls with
• 1:18:22
  lunges. Wait, what was the other weird
• 1:18:25
  1? The rollovers?
• 1:18:26
  Like you get one weird thing, don't do fucking 5 weird things.
• 1:18:30
  If you can execute it, it's fine.
• 1:18:32
  Yeah, but you get real gimmicky and it was getting I just.
• 1:18:36
  Want I like it. 'Cause I know this was Blair
• 1:18:39
  more than Ben and I would be like hey dude, calm the fuck
• 1:18:42
  down. So spin, spin.
• 1:18:43
  I think you're in my camp. You enjoy the difference in
• 1:18:47
  programming, but it just needs to be ran so much better than it
• 1:18:51
  was. And and Tyler, I don't think
• 1:18:54
  you're far off of that camp. Like for instance if there was
• 1:18:59
  no truck push and we had a clock on the floor and you wrote white
• 1:19:06
  plates instead of little blue plates.
• 1:19:08
  Or knew what the fucking weight. Was or or No, I think it's more
• 1:19:11
  of you know that you have a Shorty bar and you actually load
• 1:19:13
  the weight. You load the weight before.
• 1:19:15
  Yeah, yeah, they showed their cards, dude.
• 1:19:17
  They didn't test. The weight in right, you're
• 1:19:18
  right, but I'm saying and the the weight was 325 originally
• 1:19:22
  instead of 335 those three things and then it's not a bad
• 1:19:27
  competition, yes or no and all three of those things are on
• 1:19:33
  them. When you're.
• 1:19:35
  Doing like like they should do. I'm saying they didn't and they
• 1:19:38
  should have. They when you are giving slots
• 1:19:41
  away to the games, I'm not going to be OK with lanes not being
• 1:19:45
  the same length. I'm not going to be OK with
• 1:19:47
  people doing pirouettes on different terrain like that and
• 1:19:50
  all of these things. I'm mad because all of these
• 1:19:53
  things were foreseeable and totally mitigatable.
• 1:19:57
  Yeah, you're you're getting me. You're getting me all wrong
• 1:20:00
  here. I'm agreeing with Tyler on all
• 1:20:03
  of this. He.
• 1:20:04
  Should he is? He's doing what I normally do.
• 1:20:07
  I don't like he already said all the stuff like he what I
• 1:20:12
  normally do, Tyler is doing this time and.
• 1:20:15
  John's. Uncomfortable, he doesn't know
• 1:20:17
  how to play my. Position And I'm just I'm just
• 1:20:19
  agreeing with him and I'm saying if these things happened it
• 1:20:22
  would have been better like we all can agree I am saying that
• 1:20:27
  the competition was very poorly ran.
• 1:20:31
  I I like spin don't have a problem with the weirdness of
• 1:20:34
  programming. I like that it's different.
• 1:20:38
  You guys are getting me twisted well.
• 1:20:40
  I'm I think. I think.
• 1:20:41
  That Von is saying I'm agreeing with Tyler and I'm agreeing with
• 1:20:44
  Spin. I like everybody.
• 1:20:47
  If you guys like gosh, just stop being so dumb, good grief.
• 1:20:53
  Like, no, I, I think it's big. Things to get like OK, I'm done
• 1:20:58
  I'm. Sorry, no.
• 1:20:59
  It a lot of good things came out of it.
• 1:21:04
  A lot of bad things came out of it.
• 1:21:07
  I think a lot of lessons learned hopefully will come out of it.
• 1:21:11
  They're not going to run a semi final again.
• 1:21:18
  Nick Wright, I think it goes. I think it goes back again to
• 1:21:21
  the question, would you rather have one less in person
• 1:21:25
  qualifying event or not? No, I don't.
• 1:21:28
  Want one less but the I want two more.
• 1:21:32
  No, Hey, I, I'm, I don't want one less.
• 1:21:35
  They just need to be better. They need to take this as what
• 1:21:38
  it is and they need to be better.
• 1:21:40
  But. Tyler, would you not trust them
• 1:21:41
  to do better next year? No, I want them out some.
• 1:21:45
  I see, See. I would give them.
• 1:21:46
  I would give them. Wilson ran 2 back.
• 1:21:49
  Right. You're right.
• 1:21:50
  You're right, Tyler. You're right.
• 1:21:51
  You're right. Wilson's the goat.
• 1:21:53
  We do 2IN Oxbow again that'd. Be funny he he is the goat.
• 1:21:56
  Let's not do that. But but what it what if?
• 1:21:58
  Why not? If you had them on a month from
• 1:22:01
  now and you're like, guys, do you remember last year?
• 1:22:04
  If we don't get the workouts in the roster in one week, we are
• 1:22:08
  going to hose you the entire time and like they will get
• 1:22:12
  their stuff together and maybe they asked Wilson to help them.
• 1:22:16
  I'm sorry, John, they had plenty of time to play.
• 1:22:21
  Yeah, yeah. Mom, you don't know.
• 1:22:23
  Hey, they had a lot of time. You don't.
• 1:22:29
  You don't. You don't know this one.
• 1:22:32
  Thank you. I love you.
• 1:22:33
  But she's she's in there somewhere.
• 1:22:38
  Well, Edgene Wilson had Jr. Jr. had Wilson, I promise you,
• 1:22:42
  dude, Wilson, Wilson, I you you listen, Jr. is fantastic.
• 1:22:46
  I love Jr. y'all. Wilson's amount of preparation
• 1:22:50
  is the way an Asian kid preps for the SAT.
• 1:22:52
  OK, I'm not getting, I'm not saying that because he's Asian,
• 1:22:56
  although I think he would accept that analogy.
• 1:22:59
  Like I guess I kind of am. It's a little bit of a
• 1:23:02
  stereotype, but like, it's a, it's a good one.
• 1:23:05
  OK, Wilson. Wilson is is crazy good.
• 1:23:09
  I can't find your dad's comment but to push against your dad
• 1:23:12
  like I liked the year that boss I would like to.
• 1:23:14
  Never games against my dad. Let's just keep Dad's statement.
• 1:23:17
  I I liked the year boss programmed the games and that
• 1:23:20
  was a little weird. I like weird stuff.
• 1:23:23
  I don't like 8 gimmicky things in one competition, and I don't
• 1:23:27
  like that they're done on uneven playing fields, and I don't like
• 1:23:32
  stupid truck pushes with two fucking different trucks.
• 1:23:38
  Yeah. The the, the preparation is what
• 1:23:40
  not what we needed. So yeah.
• 1:23:43
  Be better I. I don't know if I'm willing to
• 1:23:45
  say that they shouldn't have one for next year.
• 1:23:49
  I'm not saying they shouldn't, I.
• 1:23:52
  Thought you did. No, they won't have one next
• 1:23:56
  year. You're saying that they will
• 1:23:57
  just. If it was up to you, Tyler.
• 1:24:01
  If it were up to me, I would ask four other people who I know can
• 1:24:05
  do a better job and I'd be like Ben and Blair, are you going to
• 1:24:08
  fuck up like this? And I if I don't see the right
• 1:24:09
  looks on their face, they they're not having it.
• 1:24:16
  What if there aren't four other people that want to do it?
• 1:24:18
  Yeah, Tyler, they're that's another issue there.
• 1:24:20
  Dave has just called you and he said, hey, we're thinking about,
• 1:24:24
  we're giving, thinking about giving Norcal another semi final
• 1:24:27
  chance. What do you think?
• 1:24:32
  Sorry, no. Ask somebody else to run it in
• 1:24:35
  the same venue. We don't have anybody else.
• 1:24:38
  Or who hire. Or what?
• 1:24:41
  Hire who? I It wasn't me that spent 7.
• 1:24:44
  What if we just did the Sevon Classic?
• 1:24:49
  I'm hiring Wilson to run it. And I think with.
• 1:24:51
  All the credit. Why can't we do that?
• 1:24:55
  Why can't we not do that? Hire Wilson.
• 1:24:58
  Yeah. So Wilson's be like, dude, I got
• 1:25:01
  my own stuff. No span, no span like like we
• 1:25:04
  just we do the savon. We had a different agent running
• 1:25:07
  for. Us No, no, no, stop, stop, stop.
• 1:25:09
  We do the Savon Invitational and, and we hire Wilson for a
• 1:25:14
  week and then we just need like just give us what you got for a
• 1:25:17
  week and then we'll then we'll base it off of that.
• 1:25:19
  Jr. is already programming. He's part of the crew, all
• 1:25:22
  right. Hiller's had Josh think that's
• 1:25:24
  self-explanatory, Like we could do this.
• 1:25:28
  Didn't Sivan want to do it When they came out with it?
• 1:25:31
  You were still get in line. And there was no line.
• 1:25:36
  Like Debbie Blair was sitting there waiting.
• 1:25:39
  JRJR and I will do the programming just to piss off
• 1:25:43
  Taylor and then. And Bryson?
• 1:25:51
  I heard of your first seven classic.
• 1:25:53
  I think we could do it, man. We could have it at Craft.
• 1:25:55
  Zeke Bautista, Dollar 99. Thank you.
• 1:25:57
  You heard it here first, the Sivan Classic.
• 1:25:59
  I just want to reiterate, I'm disappointed because they are
• 1:26:05
  leaders in in CrossFit and they let it.
• 1:26:08
  They let it down. Now, Nate Ackerman aside, and
• 1:26:11
  again I I hear what you say, that clean was so ugly I don't
• 1:26:18
  know if he loaded the right weight if he hits it 10 seconds
• 1:26:21
  earlier. He would have went to the games
• 1:26:23
  anyway. If he had loaded it, if he had
• 1:26:25
  loaded it with the blue, no. When he loaded the Blues right
• 1:26:27
  away, right? And he had tried to beat
• 1:26:29
  Spencer. Oh, you're saying the extra
• 1:26:31
  rest? Yeah, the extra rest gave up
• 1:26:33
  because that, that was the most insane clean it was, might have
• 1:26:38
  been that might have been uglier than Josh Bridges.
• 1:26:40
  He was. It was rough for sure.
• 1:26:42
  I don't. Know, Josh, this was gross, but
• 1:26:44
  I know what you mean. Yeah.
• 1:26:45
  I mean, it was. I thought he had zero chance of
• 1:26:48
  standing that thing up, catching it in the standing.
• 1:26:50
  It hey now let me let me tell you guys this though if say he
• 1:26:53
  does that and he beats Spencer OK Blair had told Ilya.
• 1:26:59
  If anybody beats your time, we'll just take 5 seconds off
• 1:27:02
  that's. That's crazy.
• 1:27:03
  Right. Because he, Blair, he had Ilya
• 1:27:07
  went to change his other side because he originally had what
• 1:27:11
  everybody else had. Does that make sense?
• 1:27:14
  So Nick still wouldn't have beaten Ilya and he would have
• 1:27:18
  needed to beat Jorge by 6 spots, not 5.
• 1:27:24
  And. Then no, no, no, you're right.
• 1:27:26
  Like. And then?
• 1:27:27
  Blair would be the reason statement alone 8.
• 1:27:30
  Still would not go to the games, but Blair would be the reason
• 1:27:34
  and not Taylor. Under this scoring, they should
• 1:27:39
  have gone with game scoring. Hayler has Taylor has the right,
• 1:27:43
  right idea. I mean, there's, there's so many
• 1:27:48
  things. That I, I agree wholeheartedly.
• 1:27:50
  Andrew and I, that's what needs to be harped on.
• 1:27:52
  Dang, you're that bad at running that this can happen.
• 1:27:55
  Like that's, that's how it should be like that.
• 1:27:57
  I like when the when Spencer Panchik reeled off three
• 1:27:59
  straight wins like that, That's crazy.
• 1:28:01
  You're that bad at the first 3 events that you still didn't go
• 1:28:04
  to the games. Now I there, I mean, if you go
• 1:28:08
  through the leaderboard like fractions of seconds between the
• 1:28:12
  truck, push the muscle up, workout the run, the row, all
• 1:28:16
  that stuff like we're literally talking a second and a half.
• 1:28:21
  I think I'm a couple of them could have had a completely
• 1:28:24
  different result where it doesn't end up in a tie.
• 1:28:27
  Jorge also missed his lift. What if he just waits and hits
• 1:28:30
  his? Yeah, I mean, so.
• 1:28:33
  And we could always debate back and forth like this.
• 1:28:36
  Did Nate earn it or did Jorge? But when you look at the four
• 1:28:41
  people that qualified, just looking at the weak, despite all
• 1:28:46
  the chaos, despite everything, I don't think you look at it and
• 1:28:49
  go those four people were not going to be in contention to
• 1:28:55
  qualify. OK.
• 1:28:57
  Yeah. Going into it, yeah, we
• 1:28:58
  definitely thought that they would.
• 1:29:01
  And so like we could play the Coulda woulda shoulda the whole
• 1:29:07
  time. But I'm I would rather see one
• 1:29:12
  more in person qualifying event. This is all we have and see
• 1:29:16
  those 4 qualify that way. Then adding two more men and
• 1:29:20
  women on the online piece of it. Yeah, I would rather have, I
• 1:29:24
  would rather what happened, happened and then we can talk
• 1:29:27
  about it and how whatever it is then then two more people be
• 1:29:31
  added online 100%. If we're making changes, I also
• 1:29:35
  think that in affiliate, semifinals should happen last
• 1:29:39
  and carry last. I think that I think that's an
• 1:29:42
  obvious change, yeah, that that they are doing the community a
• 1:29:46
  disservice. If that's not, then we should
• 1:29:49
  add. Teams to Norcal next year to add
• 1:29:51
  even more chaos to it so. Holy shit, qualify that.
• 1:30:00
  God, I think that's where we draw the line.
• 1:30:02
  You have to. You have to qualify through some
• 1:30:05
  standards to get a team qualifier.
• 1:30:08
  Sorry I had to. Yes I did be score it.
• 1:30:14
  Yes Nate should be going to the games but in this case with
• 1:30:18
  using open scoring is literally the worst scoring you can use
• 1:30:21
  when you don't have over 110 people.
• 1:30:24
  It's no different, though, than syndicate scoring.
• 1:30:27
  I've been getting told all week by Barclay and Bill that it's
• 1:30:31
  the best way to score it. It's there's no, there's no
• 1:30:34
  difference, Tyler. There's no difference in how
• 1:30:36
  Syndicate scored it. How did all Syndicate scored?
• 1:30:40
  They're equidistant, 3 points apiece.
• 1:30:43
  Oh, I see what you're saying. It doesn't matter.
• 1:30:45
  Every place is worth the same distance.
• 1:30:47
  It just looks too. Right, it looks closer.
• 1:30:50
  I I get that. Now if you do, if you do game
• 1:30:55
  scoring where it's like 5 points between 1st and 2nd and then you
• 1:30:58
  get down to the back and it's only two points, that is a
• 1:31:01
  different story. Yeah, I'm in favor of.
• 1:31:04
  Games, every place is the exact same.
• 1:31:06
  It doesn't matter where you get 100 points to 199794 versus 123.
• 1:31:11
  It's the same 1st and 3rd. Whether you get 90 and 94 and
• 1:31:16
  100 or one and three is the exact same.
• 1:31:19
  So yeah, that doesn't matter. P score though Nate goes, Jorge
• 1:31:25
  doesn't. No.
• 1:31:27
  I mean this is no hate on on Jorge at all, it's just I think
• 1:31:30
  Nate deserves to go earn going more so than Jorge on the
• 1:31:35
  women's side. Interestingly it doesn't matter
• 1:31:37
  if you take the truck out or not.
• 1:31:39
  It was the exact same for the top 7.
• 1:31:44
  OK, so that worked. Everything's fine.
• 1:31:45
  Tyler Yeah, everything's fine. Everything was fine.
• 1:31:50
  All right, we better get moving. Sorry, blind rankings.
• 1:31:54
  Tyler gets fired up and his computer started working.
• 1:31:57
  Let's go. We dropped off 60 people so they
• 1:32:01
  are started, so let's go. All right, here we go.
• 1:32:03
  Let me pull it up. I.
• 1:32:06
  Kind of want to comment, Do you want her to hijack Savon's thing
• 1:32:09
  and have everybody comment a certain thing on his thing?
• 1:32:12
  No, after we leave, we'll have them all go there and then throw
• 1:32:15
  it, throw it out there. So if you guys want to hang in
• 1:32:16
  with us for blind rankings and then we'll send you over there
• 1:32:20
  with a, with a phrase. All right, blind rankings, IPQE
• 1:32:26
  stuff. OK.
• 1:32:28
  So this is throughout the entire season of in person qualifying
• 1:32:32
  events, you're going to rank things that happened.
• 1:32:37
  OK. All right, good or bad?
• 1:32:40
  We'll see. First one, heavy Isabel.
• 1:32:45
  You know what? Such a weird one because we got
• 1:32:48
  really tired of it, but I do think it's a great.
• 1:32:51
  J, it was J. Well, so it was Jr. and Rich's
• 1:32:56
  idea separately. Yeah.
• 1:32:58
  That's what's crazy. Have you heard the story about
• 1:33:01
  this? We have it on camera with Angelo
• 1:33:04
  somewhere. I'll have to put that out.
• 1:33:05
  Is that he realized that both of them were going to program.
• 1:33:09
  Yeah. Testing it for TFX, right?
• 1:33:12
  Yeah, and he even he had to tell.
• 1:33:15
  He had to tell Rich and Jr. Hey, I think you guys are about
• 1:33:18
  to do the same thing. Can you imagine how awkward he
• 1:33:21
  must have felt? Jr. would have fumed if Mayhem
• 1:33:25
  it came out and Mayhem did it first and like and like didn't
• 1:33:29
  he needed and that wasn't. He would have changed it that'd.
• 1:33:32
  Been worse. Where do you guys, where do you
• 1:33:33
  rank Heavy Isabel? He would have even went heavier.
• 1:33:36
  Isabel went 235. I want to put it higher because
• 1:33:39
  Jr. programmed it. I I'm going to say 4.
• 1:33:43
  OK, four. I was going to say 4.
• 1:33:47
  Next one, the NCC weight debacle final event.
• 1:33:54
  This is like it's it's if not a #1 like this is, I'll say 2.
• 1:34:00
  I think I feel like there's something else but.
• 1:34:01
  Both agree. Both agree on too.
• 1:34:03
  This is getting weird. It's it's such a big issue.
• 1:34:07
  It's a story, yeah, crazy story, and so much goes into it.
• 1:34:14
  Yeah, the Taylor part. Jesus Christ.
• 1:34:16
  Like Blair, Taylor would not have happened without Blair.
• 1:34:19
  Blair would not have happened if they didn't change the weights.
• 1:34:22
  If they would have just tested the event, they wouldn't have to
• 1:34:24
  change the weights. Whoever decided to write the
• 1:34:26
  color scheme. You're dumb.
• 1:34:29
  And then if. The whoever did it changed
• 1:34:34
  Ilya's weights, didn't put points on it wouldn't have been
• 1:34:37
  an issue, but there's so many things.
• 1:34:38
  So much. That they had tested the they
• 1:34:40
  had just tried to load 335 lbs onto a Shorty bar before they
• 1:34:45
  were warmed up. Weird.
• 1:34:48
  Probably would have noticed it. They and then them trying to
• 1:34:52
  like give Taylor a lot of the blame even though he deserves
• 1:34:55
  basically almost no blame. Like he literally did the same
• 1:35:01
  thing Blair did. Yeah.
• 1:35:04
  And it's because Blair did that. He was filming, he was filmed
• 1:35:08
  with Villa and he said I think this is what it's supposed to
• 1:35:12
  be. Yeah.
• 1:35:14
  All right. Next up.
• 1:35:19
  Oh, I want to say #1 I want to say that number one.
• 1:35:23
  I do think it's #1. This will live in infamy.
• 1:35:26
  Here's the thing. This will live in infamy.
• 1:35:28
  We're always going to say he's pulling a layman.
• 1:35:31
  Like, like, like that's going to be a phrase.
• 1:35:34
  Somebody starts taking last place multiple events in a.
• 1:35:36
  Row yeah, dude, he's the biggest cheater in all of CrossFit
• 1:35:39
  that's ever happened. And I think that's, I think it,
• 1:35:42
  I think it has to be #1. Yes.
• 1:35:45
  All right, Next up, the wildland squats.
• 1:35:51
  I hated every part of that, yeah.
• 1:35:54
  It was, it was a 5 It, it is a big deal, but I'm not surprised
• 1:35:58
  like I'm not surprised it happened, I guess.
• 1:36:00
  Yeah, that was again nobody thinking, Yeah, how the.
• 1:36:03
  Athletes would claim it Wildland standards.
• 1:36:07
  TFX Programming Norcal. Organization.
• 1:36:12
  Organization and I just think it I value I value I've I that was
• 1:36:18
  a shot at me, Tyler and I just value programming more than all
• 1:36:24
  of those things like when I'm ranking these things or like
• 1:36:27
  like what's bad about a competition?
• 1:36:29
  I think programming is above everything.
• 1:36:32
  No, it doesn't matter. Programming doesn't matter.
• 1:36:36
  What did I see? I saw something here I want to
• 1:36:40
  call out now. Philby Congrats to Jason Hopper
• 1:36:43
  on finishing sixth in the Open. You better not do that.
• 1:36:52
  Here it. Has to be live.
• 1:36:54
  Yeah #3 Tia dominates. Don't could care less.
• 1:37:00
  This should be 5. I think we would care more if we
• 1:37:04
  had seen it live. I doesn't know I would care the
• 1:37:07
  same amount. I think it's crazy that she did
• 1:37:11
  not focus on it and. I think it should be Grace beat
• 1:37:14
  Tia in a workout. She's that much better than
• 1:37:20
  everybody. In one just one workout though.
• 1:37:22
  I'm saying T is that much better than everybody all the time.
• 1:37:28
  Just just she's a different person, she's different species.
• 1:37:31
  I keep waiting for her to accept.
• 1:37:32
  I I'm thinking that she's not going to accept until after high
• 1:37:36
  rocks, She's she told Dave. I don't want to think about the
• 1:37:40
  CrossFit Games till after high rocks.
• 1:37:42
  That's what I think. Is there a fault for not putting
• 1:37:44
  a? Date When is it?
• 1:37:46
  High rocks this weekend. Yeah, this weekend.
• 1:37:48
  I think she races Friday both times.
• 1:37:50
  All right, so you guys, you could either watch TN High Rocks
• 1:37:53
  or you could TuneIn for my grid match two.
• 1:37:57
  OK. This weekend we're going against
• 1:37:59
  not electric, basically. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:38:02
  OK, Spin, are you streaming it live again or no?
• 1:38:05
  No, I will be out of town. Tyler's going to be in Chicago.
• 1:38:08
  So cool. You're on your.
• 1:38:09
  Own a lot of support here fellas, I love it, OK?
• 1:38:12
  Hey, we had your opening match. We were at your opening match.
• 1:38:16
  OK, we might, we may not do next time too, but I don't know,
• 1:38:20
  we'll see. So maybe you'll get to show off
• 1:38:24
  the last lift though on the the final race.
• 1:38:28
  That'd be cool. No, I'm doing 12 snatches.
• 1:38:31
  That sucks. Nobody else can do 12 snatchers.
• 1:38:34
  So are you doing 12 and and 1/4 when you bobble it?
• 1:38:37
  I'm. Like how long that was with 225.
• 1:38:42
  This is 165. Speaking of.
• 1:38:47
  I think this is a good list. Yeah, it was good.
• 1:38:51
