WFP Withdrawals, Events, Contracts | Tia-Clair Toomey | Late Stage CrossFit · The Spin Podcast

• 0:32
  Welcome to the spin. Tyler's on the wrong side, all
• 0:35
  right? When there's two of us, I feel
• 0:37
  like we don't have sides. That's fair.
• 0:40
  That's fair. John is on the way.
• 0:44
  Yeah. He's fixing baby duty.
• 0:46
  He, he dropped the ball, so he'll be here.
• 0:50
  But we just mixed around the, the order of the, the, the
• 0:54
  agenda tonight because you know, we'll talk about late stage
• 0:58
  CrossFit again. I think just like last week,
• 1:00
  this might be John's one to sit out and then Tyler and I will
• 1:06
  take care of this one. And then we'll we'll move some
• 1:08
  viewer comments, some good ones. Late stage WFP as well.
• 1:16
  I mean, we'll talk about that, about some fizzling out the West
• 1:20
  and P is silent, but the F is still alive and some blind
• 1:25
  rankings. Excited for that one.
• 1:28
  And maybe a little bit about what Tia's pregnancy means for
• 1:33
  CrossFit and maybe even world Fitness project.
• 1:38
  But we're going to start off talking about late stage
• 1:42
  CrossFit. Look Melanie Hodge, remember for
• 1:48
  23 months, 23 months. Impressive.
• 1:51
  Been waiting for Wednesday since the week started.
• 1:55
  Same. I think John's pink eye is
• 1:58
  better. Hope so Mana, it was rough end
• 2:04
  stage WFP. I'm sorry I got the stage wrong.
• 2:10
  CrossFit John should eat a Hot Chip for missing last week.
• 2:13
  I don't think anybody should be forced to eat a Hot Chip.
• 2:18
  I would do it. I wouldn't.
• 2:19
  I would eat the the Hot Chip so that John didn't have to.
• 2:24
  There's no way John would eat one.
• 2:26
  I bet 100%. No spray castle, Maybe you.
• 2:31
  Can I'd eat one? I I think Jason made that too.
• 2:37
  Like there's too much. I mean, I've had hot sauces
• 2:44
  before and you get to that one point where it's like, it's not
• 2:46
  even actually good. It's literally just the was a
• 2:49
  capsaicin. Yeah, that's what it is.
• 2:51
  And it's literally just like that oil just poured on chicken.
• 2:54
  And it's like, what's the point? Like why are we why are we even
• 2:57
  doing this? I.
• 2:57
  That's I've never understood hot like hot food people.
• 3:02
  I it's like there is a limit and till this does not add flavor
• 3:07
  anymore and then it's just like you're eating hot for hot sake
• 3:10
  and that's not fun, Yeah. It's yeah, there's a, there's a
• 3:16
  like, I don't mind getting a little sweaty and like a little
• 3:19
  heat, but I have to enjoy the flavor so.
• 3:23
  Funny, I have a funny Carolina Reaper story actually.
• 3:25
  So I had AI had a roommate Once Upon a time.
• 3:30
  He was a bartender and so it's like the house is always kind of
• 3:34
  wild, but he was a cook and he would make his own chilies and
• 3:38
  stuff or like his own hot sauces and different things like that.
• 3:42
  So anyway, one night he's like making his own sauce and I'm
• 3:46
  like, what's this? And I hold it up and he's like,
• 3:49
  oh, that's a dried sun dried tomato.
• 3:51
  I was like, I've never seen a sun dried tomato look like this.
• 3:54
  He goes try it. It's really good.
• 3:56
  I eat the whole thing. It was not a sun dried tomato.
• 3:59
  It was Carolina Reaper that was pretty bad.
• 4:05
  Yeah, I did. I did this the Blazing Challenge
• 4:08
  at B Dubs. I was on a work trip with the
• 4:10
  buddy and we decided to go there for dinner and we said let's go
• 4:15
  split a six, you know, 6 wings. I only ate two of them.
• 4:21
  I ate. It was one more than my buddy
• 4:26
  ate. So it's not worth it.
• 4:30
  All right, late stage CrossFit. So Tyler, do you know what late
• 4:36
  stage CrossFit is or should I ask Google Google AI for it?
• 4:44
  I would like to know what Google AI says about it.
• 4:46
  But I do know, you know, I know that Mason made the video.
• 4:52
  You mean late stage capitalism? Late stage capitalism.
• 4:55
  Yes. So this is something I actually
• 4:57
  like. When I saw the video, I thought
• 4:59
  I was going to watch it because like, I saw Marx and then I saw
• 5:03
  Late Stage. You were all about it.
• 5:05
  I was I. Hadn't even read CrossFit yet.
• 5:07
  And then I read CrossFit and I was like what?
• 5:10
  So light stage capitalism evident.
• 5:13
  Like if you believe Marx's ideology and really like I, I
• 5:19
  think there is a certain amount of trueness to this, is that
• 5:22
  capitalism is doomed to collapse at some point just through its
• 5:26
  own force. You grow, you grow, you grow,
• 5:27
  and then you can't grow anymore and you collapse.
• 5:29
  That's basically how the phenomenon works.
• 5:32
  You give all the money to the top, the top or the bottom can't
• 5:34
  support the top anymore and it tumbles over.
• 5:37
  That's the basic idea. That's the that's the theory.
• 5:40
  That's the theory. Yeah, Google AI.
• 5:43
  Google AI would say it's refers to the current globalized phase
• 5:48
  of capitalism, characterized by multinational corporations, high
• 5:51
  consumerism, and increasing wealth equity.
• 5:57
  It's used by critics critics to describe what they see as absurd
• 6:03
  and equitable features of the modern economy, rooted in
• 6:07
  Marxist theories suggesting capitalism's eventual collapse.
• 6:12
  And now it's widely used to critique specific modern
• 6:15
  economic phenomena like the 2008 financial crisis or the high
• 6:19
  cost of everyday goods and services.
• 6:22
  I don't want to get like off on this danger but it's always
• 6:25
  hilarious like when Marxist people want to critique like
• 6:29
  2008 and it's like we don't live in 100% capitalistic society
• 6:32
  anymore. Like you critiquing capitalism
• 6:35
  on us is so stupid. But anyway.
• 6:39
  That's that's another podcast, that's all.
• 6:41
  Not even on this channel. Yeah.
• 6:44
  So, yeah, I saw it too. Mason Startup.
• 6:48
  Yeah, I was going to say Mason Startup put out the video.
• 6:51
  And he called it late stage CrossFit ISM.
• 6:59
  And it's like, oh, Mason's put out some good stuff before.
• 7:03
  Mason puts out some really good stuff.
• 7:05
  If you haven't gone to his channel, go to it.
• 7:07
  Mason's startup Startup Uncut. Yeah, he has.
• 7:10
  It's the second channel. I didn't even notice it was the
• 7:14
  second channel. He's so big.
• 7:15
  He has two channels. Yeah.
• 7:19
  That the kitchen is don't, don't pay attention to that.
• 7:22
  Pay attention to Mason there. And so I, I listen to this and I
• 7:30
  was like, I can get on board with a lot of it.
• 7:34
  It's I want to say, I want to preface, it's like 90% baked.
• 7:39
  It's a great video but I feel like if you have no idea what's
• 7:44
  going on like he it's when you're crying about the pain but
• 7:49
  you don't know where the source of the pain is.
• 7:52
  Yeah, and I, I mean, like, again, like late stage
• 7:56
  capitalism is the the, the end of capitalism, right?
• 8:00
  It's the fall. It's going to fall.
• 8:02
  So I mean, this is this is kind of like fancier lingo of
• 8:06
  CrossFit is dying or it's going to die.
• 8:08
  Like it hasn't. It's not.
• 8:10
  I guess I would say that the only difference is that like you
• 8:13
  keep kind of climbing and it's just going to topple over and
• 8:16
  like it's gone. There's no.
• 8:18
  Which everything else has been like, oh, it's been this long,
• 8:21
  slow five year death. This is like, oh, no,
• 8:23
  everything's fine. And then next, you know, we're
• 8:25
  going to wake up tomorrow and it's it's not around.
• 8:27
  So it's a little bit different, but it's the same type of thing.
• 8:29
  When you think about as you go through the points, he makes a
• 8:33
  valid point. So you can agree with a lot of
• 8:35
  what he says now overall arching like meaning behind it, maybe
• 8:40
  not. Right.
• 8:43
  Yeah. I think he like all of his
• 8:44
  points, his headline points and like his first statements on the
• 8:48
  points. Great.
• 8:49
  And then he gets into like, what, you know, sort of what he
• 8:51
  was thinking. I was like, wait, wait, wait,
• 8:52
  wait. Yeah, but.
• 8:54
  Anyway, yeah, so let's let's go through some of this and see
• 8:58
  what he has to say and then you guys can check out the full
• 9:01
  video on your own time. All right, let's let's see his
• 9:05
  intro here. We have officially reached late
• 9:08
  stage CrossFit. This is an idea that Karl Marx
• 9:10
  laid out in his 1848 book The CrossFit Manifesto.
• 9:14
  No, not really. The other day I heard someone
• 9:16
  talking about late stage capitalism, which I hadn't heard
• 9:19
  anybody talk about since college.
• 9:21
  Which? So he's, yeah, it wasn't
• 9:24
  technically a Marx. It was a different guy.
• 9:26
  And then there's a different guy that was like, it mentions it
• 9:31
  down here somewhere. Yeah, first used by economist
• 9:37
  Werner Sambart and then Ernest Mandel, Marxist theorist, then
• 9:42
  brought it back up and start making it more popular.
• 9:44
  So it's technically not Marx, but it gets the point across.
• 9:49
  Let's see. Why does it feel like Mason's in
• 9:53
  an RV kitchen? No, it's not an RV.
• 9:56
  Kitchen it feels like 1 though. No it does.
• 10:00
  They wouldn't have those blinds. I know.
• 10:04
  So all right, this. So he goes through 6 points and
• 10:13
  kind of talks about different pieces each one.
• 10:15
  The first one is the training methodology, right?
• 10:20
  And he brings up an interesting piece related to his own
• 10:24
  training. Here we go, Ross.
• 10:26
  Let's start off with the training of CrossFit or the
• 10:28
  methodology. So a while back I was going to
• 10:30
  do a workout that had 225 wall balls in it.
• 10:34
  Throughout the workout, at some point I had 225 wall balls in
• 10:36
  it. The owner of my gym came up to
• 10:38
  me and he goes, why are you doing a workout with 225 wall
• 10:41
  balls in it? You know you'll never see a
• 10:43
  workout with 225 wall balls in it.
• 10:45
  Insinuating as if the only reason I train is to get ready
• 10:49
  for other workouts or for competitions.
• 10:51
  We're at the point where training is so centered around
• 10:55
  around what already exists and what happens at competitions
• 10:59
  that the idea of doing something that somebody else doesn't do or
• 11:03
  you haven't seen before is like non existent in people's brains.
• 11:06
  Like training to just get better isn't a thing anymore that.
• 11:11
  Freaking just like head of the bat right on the ball.
• 11:16
  Just amazing contact on that one.
• 11:19
  Yeah, I mean, it's so true. I mean, if anybody's been around
• 11:24
  for 10 plus years, you know, you've just done workouts that
• 11:28
  were like, let's just do this. Yes, we once did, and we wrote
• 11:33
  our own Inception workout. So it's.
• 11:36
  Like you can never finish. You would say I can't remember
• 11:40
  it was. What's the wall ball workout,
• 11:42
  Karen? Yeah, you break, you fall into
• 11:47
  some other workout. You break, you fall into some
• 11:49
  other workout. You had to dig your way back
• 11:51
  out. We got like 45 minutes in and
• 11:53
  we're like, you want to just call it after, after this?
• 11:56
  Like there's so much stuff, but we used to have so much fun
• 11:59
  doing that. And this point has, there's like
• 12:04
  5 different ideas that all spiral off of this point of I've
• 12:12
  been thinking about this idea that we're just doing Dave
• 12:15
  Castro's CrossFit now. Yes.
• 12:21
  That's all we're doing. We are playing the games.
• 12:25
  And it's sport based, even if it's not sport like training for
• 12:30
  the CrossFit Games, I would say 95% of what's out there is like
• 12:39
  cycle based, progression based, right?
• 12:43
  Like they're not throwing out things that you've not seen
• 12:45
  before, right? It's like, oh, we're going to do
• 12:48
  this six week cycle and then we're going to take AD load
• 12:50
  week. Like you talk about just being
• 12:57
  like the sport is different, but it's so highly like influenced
• 13:01
  what we do on a daily basis, right?
• 13:04
  There, there used to be this like adventure race or survivor
• 13:08
  quality feeling to CrossFit like you.
• 13:12
  It was the unknown and unknowable part was like a lot
• 13:15
  more real. And now you just walk in and
• 13:17
  you're like, OK, we're going to do, you know, 7 minutes on,
• 13:20
  three minutes off for five rounds.
• 13:22
  And you're going to, you know, you want to go to like 90%, but
• 13:25
  you don't want to go over that or you want to, you want to
• 13:27
  hover around 80% the whole time. Like there's not stuff that
• 13:31
  really makes you nervous anymore.
• 13:34
  Do you know if Rich still does his, like, walking to the gym
• 13:37
  and just, like, right on a whiteboard now?
• 13:40
  Yeah. And everybody just follows him,
• 13:41
  follows him around. I think they they put out some
• 13:45
  stuff if you watch Mayhem Mondays and stuff like that,
• 13:47
  they he still does some stuff like that where he's like, Nah,
• 13:50
  he'll erase something and then. He'll just write it down.
• 13:53
  I mean, that was my favorite things is like, you just would
• 13:55
  go in there. Yeah.
• 13:57
  Like, how are we feeling? All right, well, we went
• 13:59
  overhead yesterday. Let's not do overhead.
• 14:01
  Let's do this that let's let's just do a heavy friend squad.
• 14:04
  I don't know, right? Like there's no percentages.
• 14:06
  It was just making it up and that's how I started CrossFit.
• 14:09
  Yeah. Like we were just with some
• 14:11
  buddies and we showed up and then, you know, we figured out
• 14:16
  what we were going to do, what we haven't done in a while.
• 14:19
  And then next thing you know, we're doing that.
• 14:21
  And then it's like, oh, Outlaw Way is cool, let's do some
• 14:23
  Outlaw way and. To be able to during 2015 and 16
• 14:29
  years, I when like Jen Smith, would train for the games, I
• 14:34
  would just go in. I had some stuff that I would
• 14:37
  want to do, but then I would just say yes to whatever she
• 14:40
  wanted. To do, Is this before or after
• 14:41
  you made it clear that you wanted to qualify?
• 14:44
  For the gamer this is after but like her her do.
• 14:48
  People know that story. Did I tell that on here?
• 14:51
  I. Don't remember.
• 14:53
  Oh, I think I said it in the comments somewhere, but I'll
• 14:57
  tell it here is that I didn't want to sign up for the open
• 15:01
  because I was like, I'm going to go to the games and I want to be
• 15:05
  like this complete unknown when I show up and everybody's like,
• 15:08
  wow, I said that in 2013, I think, and Jen Smith like just
• 15:12
  laughed at me and and I was super.
• 15:16
  Embarrassed. Fly under the radar, man.
• 15:18
  Get one year of training in you and you're going to be games
• 15:20
  bound. Yeah, I was like, I'm going to
• 15:21
  games for sure, dude. Anyway, so when we started, when
• 15:26
  she started training for the games or it was like after
• 15:28
  regionals or whatever, I would just say yes to everything she
• 15:30
  did. I don't think a lot of people
• 15:33
  just do that anymore where they just like you go in and people
• 15:36
  are like, ah, we're kind of like I'm doing this.
• 15:38
  I'm following Misfit or I'm following training think tank or
• 15:42
  I'm following. I like that piece.
• 15:43
  Like lights all just do that one.
• 15:45
  They get freaked out about like, oh, I got to do, I got to stay
• 15:48
  on my program. It's like fuck all that dude.
• 15:51
  You just work out with people. I think Colton might be the only
• 15:54
  one that I know of that does that.
• 15:56
  Like, he'll see something. He'll he'll just do a workout
• 15:59
  like the the show to prove a point, like, oh, I could beat
• 16:01
  that. Yeah.
• 16:02
  And he does it right. Yeah.
• 16:06
  But I don't think many people do, even down to my level, where
• 16:11
  it's like, who cares if you take a day and go do something
• 16:15
  different? Like you're still getting more
• 16:17
  fit than you were the day before.
• 16:18
  But if it doesn't fit into your the programming you're
• 16:21
  following. Oh, I don't know.
• 16:22
  I don't know if I can do that. That's the funny, that's the fun
• 16:25
  thing about not having like the this quarterfinals, like high
• 16:29
  end quarterfinals goal or whatever anymore.
• 16:31
  Like there's a girl who is trying to be competitive at my
• 16:35
  gym and she'll be like, do you want to do this with me?
• 16:37
  She'll mess with me or, or I'll just show up and she'll be like,
• 16:40
  do you want to do this? And I'll be like, Yep, like
• 16:42
  let's do it because it's just nice to just like do shit with
• 16:45
  other people. And people get so bent out of
• 16:48
  shape about that. Now they just won't, they won't
• 16:51
  do that. It's like, get over yourself.
• 16:54
  Yep, let's see. Oh, wait, I had one more point I
• 16:57
  wanted to make about it. So I I was thinking about and he
• 17:03
  sort of makes a point on this later, but this kind of segues
• 17:06
  into it. He made a point about hybrid
• 17:10
  athletes. And like how, how is no one
• 17:15
  talking about the fact that hybrid is just CrossFit?
• 17:18
  It's just like a certain, the certain skills and it's none of
• 17:24
  the like 12 to 15 minute like really, really hurt stuff.
• 17:30
  It's like either I'm going to run Sprint or long distance and
• 17:34
  I'm going to lift heavy and that's all I'm going to do.
• 17:36
  Like it's not it's not any of the crossfitty shit.
• 17:39
  So to me it's none of the Dave Castro fitness stuff.
• 17:47
  Yes, Hiller kind of said it in the last five videos.
• 17:52
  Yeah, No, I agree with that. I mean, it's, I think we kind of
• 17:57
  keep saying Hyrox is CrossFit, right.
• 17:59
  So like it is just a, it's just a high, it's just a CrossFit
• 18:02
  workout. So to some degree, well, that's
• 18:06
  the point. Yeah, go ahead.
• 18:08
  No, like go ahead. Well, so why is Hyrox coming up?
• 18:13
  Why is hybrid coming up? Why is ethics a thing now is cuz
• 18:20
  like I think that people don't really want to hurt in that, you
• 18:24
  know, 8 to 15 minute time domain and they're like, yeah, well, so
• 18:29
  fuck CrossFit. We'll just make up our own shit
• 18:30
  that we want to do. Burn boot camp it for 60
• 18:33
  minutes. It's this.
• 18:34
  And like CrossFit never realizes, it's like we have to
• 18:38
  evolve. We have to capture that somehow.
• 18:40
  I'm not saying you have to change the methodology because
• 18:43
  Hybrid is encapsulated within CrossFit, Hyrox is encapsulated
• 18:47
  within CrossFit. But we're not capturing those
• 18:50
  people and they're leaving and going off and doing their other,
• 18:52
  their own other thing. Yeah.
• 18:54
  And so we've not evolved. Yeah.
• 18:59
  All right. Second up the he talks about
• 19:02
  games, athletes and this one, it ties into what we just mentioned
• 19:10
  about not wanting to stray from your current programming, but
• 19:17
  it's also a little bit with social media.
• 19:20
  For a while now we've got the athletes and when I say
• 19:23
  athletes, I'm talking about the CrossFit Games athletes.
• 19:25
  Everything they post is ads and this social media.
• 19:30
  Everything is an ad. I dare you to go to any of the
• 19:35
  CrossFit Games athletes other than Ibarra.
• 19:38
  Didn't we do this? I did it.
• 19:41
  Yeah. I think it went through.
• 19:42
  I mean, like, Dallin, Jason, Brooke, Danielle, all the big
• 19:49
  ones. It's either blatant eye
• 19:52
  advertising or they're tagging their sponsor.
• 19:57
  Like, just like, yeah, if you read this caption, you get down
• 20:02
  far enough, you're going to see that I thank my sponsor for.
• 20:05
  I couldn't do this without my shoes or I couldn't do this with
• 20:07
  my protein powder. Is that an ad or is that just an
• 20:11
  opportunity to tag your sponsor? I think it counts towards their
• 20:15
  whatever commitments they have in there.
• 20:20
  We won't get into the minutia, but I think you could like start
• 20:22
  off with the posters. Like I just want to post this
• 20:24
  and you're like well I am wearing gym reapers in this so
• 20:28
  I'll tag gym reapers, you know what I mean?
• 20:30
  It's not even tagging like to put it in there like a lot of
• 20:33
  times as you see with like nutrition.
• 20:35
  The nutrition, yeah, they like they talk about how they're fuel
• 20:38
  their body and how they do all this.
• 20:40
  And I couldn't have done it without CBG nutrition or I
• 20:42
  couldn't do it with RP strength. Like, it's clearly an ad that's,
• 20:48
  you know, supposed to be more organic than just do this.
• 20:55
  Let's see. Keep going.
• 20:56
  Yeah, as well. Not even just a progression with
• 20:58
  CrossFit. When I was on Instagram in like
• 21:00
  2019, a lot of the stuff I saw was like, oh, this is a banger.
• 21:04
  Oh, this is a banger. And now I get on and I'm like,
• 21:06
  OK, another sponsor post, another sponsor post, another
• 21:08
  sponsor post, another sponsor again.
• 21:10
  I think it was just kind of a natural progression.
• 21:12
  CrossFit athletes at the Games who are competing, we're all
• 21:15
  just kind of weekend warriors. Yeah, they, he he said that they
• 21:23
  feel like royalty now. I'm yeah, that is that comes up
• 21:28
  here in a bit. OK, did you want to make a
• 21:31
  point? No, I mean, he started yeah, he
• 21:35
  starts going into like when he when he saw the ranch athletes
• 21:40
  are it's changed, right. So like, back then, it was they
• 21:45
  had jobs, they were just the fittest of us.
• 21:48
  And then they started doing a little bit more full time, you
• 21:52
  know, a little bit more and a little bit more.
• 21:53
  And then somebody became full time.
• 21:55
  I think he said Rich might have been the first one to go at
• 21:58
  least publicly full time. Like, I only train.
• 22:01
  And then everybody else had to follow suit.
• 22:03
  Otherwise they couldn't compete. And so they had to make money
• 22:08
  somehow. And of course, now, you see, I
• 22:11
  mean, that's what they basically become influencers to make to
• 22:14
  cover their bills. Yeah.
• 22:17
  And it's like, it sucks because it's like there, there's, it is
• 22:22
  an obvious progression, like it's going to happen.
• 22:25
  If there's money in the sport, they're going to, you know, and
• 22:29
  people start getting paid and then, well, they kind of start
• 22:32
  working for, you know, doing that.
• 22:35
  And it's just like it's continues to build on itself.
• 22:38
  I I don't want to fault them for it, but I wish there was some
• 22:42
  way to like, I remember when Rich, when I found out that Rich
• 22:46
  won the Games, it was like right when I started CrossFit and my
• 22:50
  football coach was like, he was the guy I started CrossFit with.
• 22:53
  He was like, yeah, there's a dude, the fittest guy on earth
• 22:56
  is from Tennessee. I was like, what?
• 22:58
  And it made him feel really like normal.
• 23:04
  He's like, Oh yes, like he's an hour down the road.
• 23:07
  And I was like, so I was like, I was just some fucking Hick from
• 23:10
  Tennessee one. And he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 23:13
  And so it's like, there's none of that now where they do feel a
• 23:16
  little bit out of reach. And I wish there was some way to
• 23:19
  like lower that. Yeah, I mean, this point about
• 23:22
  the the social media posts are all ads and they're not.
• 23:25
  Look at this cool workout one, it's now secret because you
• 23:28
  don't want to give away what you're doing 2 It doesn't matter
• 23:31
  if you post it because nobody's going to do it, right?
• 23:36
  You just post a random workout like, oh man, this one's a great
• 23:38
  one. Nobody does it because it
• 23:40
  doesn't fit their whatever part of their cycle they're.
• 23:43
  In when Hefner would do those, he still does them.
• 23:47
  Those crazy emails. But it's part of his
• 23:48
  programming. Like you can, you can buy his
• 23:50
  program. The was it morning mono or
• 23:52
  something? Yeah.
• 23:55
  And yeah, like people used to try those.
• 23:57
  I don't think anybody just jumps in and does it very often.
• 24:00
  No. Let's see.
• 24:04
  Let's see. Jumping ahead, this one's pretty
• 24:07
  applicable. Just CrossFit.
• 24:10
  OK, this next one I'm definitely picking on the athletes.
• 24:12
  Part of what we've gotten into is athletes just take whatever
• 24:16
  piece of the CrossFit pie they can take and dip out.
• 24:19
  And I actually don't know that this is late stage because I
• 24:21
  feel like it happened early on too with guys like Marcus Philly
• 24:25
  who just kind of like dipped out and then he was like, oh, I
• 24:27
  don't do CrossFit. I just do this kind of a little
• 24:30
  bit CrossFit. I I think Marcus Philly maybe
• 24:32
  wasn't that bad because I don't I don't know that he ever like
• 24:34
  denounced CrossFit. That's just an example though.
• 24:36
  This happens all the time. I'm sure you guys can think of
• 24:39
  some other examples that is kind of the late stage CrossFit.
• 24:41
  CrossFit exists as this huge thing and then everybody's like,
• 24:45
  oh, I'm just going to take a whatever piece of this pie I can
• 24:47
  get and dip out. And a lot of that happens with
• 24:50
  athletes. Another example I think would
• 24:52
  be, and I know they have their reasons, but some of the people
• 24:54
  who kind of like dipped out on CrossFit over the last few
• 24:57
  years. It's like dude, the only reason
• 24:59
  you're anything is because of CrossFit and not.
• 25:11
  I think about what's her, what's the the blonde girl?
• 25:19
  Amanda Barnhart and the other one.
• 25:21
  What's the other one? Jessica Griffith.
• 25:23
  Jessica Griffith. Or whatever.
• 25:25
  I don't know what her married name is now, but yeah.
• 25:27
  I can't remember either but K Hoy.
• 25:31
  Kahoi. Kahoi.
• 25:33
  Yeah, she that there's that whole thing where they're like,
• 25:38
  I like all of CrossFit except for these things.
• 25:41
  I'm going to carve that out. You know, Jessica's still doing
• 25:46
  CrossFit. It's just like she's moderating
• 25:48
  the intensity because she didn't think it was doable.
• 25:52
  And I ain't even. And she's running well, she's
• 25:53
  running away from the term CrossFit on top of it and making
• 25:57
  it well, sound like, oh, you've done CrossFit, it's bad.
• 26:00
  This will fix you, right? Yeah.
• 26:03
  And it's like the thing that I think a lot of the pro athletes
• 26:07
  or previous pro athletes don't realize is like, you were never
• 26:11
  meant to go with that intensity for that long, that many times a
• 26:14
  day. At that, yeah, I mean it.
• 26:17
  What they were doing is not what you go to in your class.
• 26:22
  And not expect like some amount of burnout and like, I'm pretty
• 26:28
  sure she was a hyper fit athlete.
• 26:32
  And let me just say, those workouts were absolutely
• 26:35
  asinine. Was she?
• 26:37
  Yeah, I'm. Fairly certain.
• 26:41
  OK. Because that was where Julie
• 26:43
  Fouche was, right? That's where she was working
• 26:45
  with, Yeah. She was the hyperfit workouts.
• 26:49
  It was so much volume all the time.
• 26:52
  And so anyway, even if she wasn't.
• 26:54
  Yeah, yeah, Mason. Mason's watching, mate.
• 26:57
  Mason's watching us watch him, but it's still CrossFit.
• 27:00
  It is CrossFit. Just own up that it's a version
• 27:04
  of CrossFit. Yeah, right.
• 27:08
  And I think that's that's where it it it comes down to the
• 27:10
  difference, right? Like Rich Froning will say I'm
• 27:14
  doing if you sign up for Mayhem, you're doing CrossFit.
• 27:18
  Not I got beat up by CrossFit. Here, come do lit.
• 27:22
  No, no. That you have to be blindly
• 27:27
  loyal, But they come in, they get hugely like famous Instagram
• 27:31
  followers, super fit, obviously off of the training.
• 27:34
  They're just drifting off of everything in CrossFit and then
• 27:36
  leave, which is kind of my Third Point.
• 27:38
  And that is I think some of the athletes feel like they're not a
• 27:41
  part of the community. They feel like the community
• 27:43
  cheers for them. And I can't think of a specific
• 27:46
  example, but some of them talk like I'm a separate part of the
• 27:50
  community. And I may be wrong about this,
• 27:51
  but early on it kind of felt like the CrossFit Games athletes
• 27:54
  were kind of just like the best of us.
• 27:57
  Now it almost feels like they almost feel like royalty.
• 28:00
  Like. There it is 4 athletes by
• 28:05
  athletes by athletes, 4 athletes, whatever it is.
• 28:10
  What's really different now versus then like you're here for
• 28:16
  us, What is creating that feeling?
• 28:21
  Because like the professional is the the, the desire or the
• 28:24
  feeling that it's the professionalization of the
• 28:26
  sport. In 2011, it wasn't a sport.
• 28:39
  Nobody who said, hey, this is the sport.
• 28:41
  These guys are professional athletes.
• 28:45
  It was these are the best cross fitters around the world.
• 28:49
  And now they're going to Carson to show that they're the fittest
• 28:52
  athletes. Now it's I need a big prize
• 28:56
  purse. I need guaranteed contracts.
• 29:00
  I, I, I need sponsors. Like if I don't go to these
• 29:04
  competitions, they're not going to sell tickets.
• 29:08
  Like people want to come watch us.
• 29:13
  It's so different than back then.
• 29:15
  Like in 2011, regionals were not broadcast.
• 29:23
  What? What year 2011?
• 29:26
  Yeah, 2012. So I actually, I don't think
• 29:29
  regionals were were like broadcast until 20/13/12 or 13.
• 29:33
  Yeah. I, I went and looked for because
• 29:36
  Crossfat brought up the fact that I guess Wellborn
• 29:39
  commentated one of the regionals.
• 29:42
  It was, it was Socal, but it was one of the years and, and so I
• 29:47
  went looking for it. There are no broadcasts that
• 29:49
  exist of 2012 and prior. So it had to have been like, if
• 29:54
  they did do it, they've been ripped off the Internet or it's
• 29:56
  2013, it starts. But yeah, it there was no.
• 30:01
  I think I've said this, I remember being on Twitter and
• 30:05
  they had a a Twitter account for every regional and somebody
• 30:11
  would live tweet the competition, like and when like
• 30:17
  and when Spieler came by play. Yeah, yeah.
• 30:21
  And when Spieler came back in 2012, it was amazing.
• 30:26
  Let me see if I can. I wanted to bring this up about
• 30:33
  from tacit entitlement has grown with the ascension of social
• 30:36
  media. I can't help but like, but think
• 30:41
  that that has added to to all of it.
• 30:48
  But it's weird because like my distance from the athletes is
• 30:51
  the smaller now than it ever was, but I do feel like that's
• 30:54
  still there. Like they're super.
• 30:57
  I can get in touch with them a lot of a lot of them now.
• 30:59
  And I couldn't. I remember being on the floor of
• 31:04
  the Central East Regional in 2014 and looking at Rich like he
• 31:07
  was a superhuman God and I would never know him, never talk to
• 31:10
  him. And it's like he still felt more
• 31:12
  approachable then than he does now.
• 31:18
  Yeah, so you're 2018. They were still doing it like
• 31:25
  Womack. The first, first, the second
• 31:28
  round of thrusters, followed by Bullock and Tatya finishes 12th
• 31:32
  Thrusters first is back to the rope.
• 31:35
  Whose? Job was this.
• 31:38
  Like I remember watching this when Spieler was coming back in
• 31:43
  the like on Sunday and like, you were glued to Twitter,
• 31:49
  refreshing constantly, just trying to understand who's going
• 31:52
  to make it. Is Spieler going to qualify for
• 31:53
  the games again? Like that's how you followed it.
• 31:59
  That's insane. I would hate that job.
• 32:02
  I just look at that and I'm like, no way.
• 32:04
  Think about how different that was compared to now.
• 32:15
  But yeah, I mean, it's so we isn't it funny how we assume
• 32:20
  that a broadcast is mandatory now?
• 32:23
  It's required. It has to be professional, has
• 32:26
  to be high quality. Otherwise, it's just you know.
• 32:31
  But the problem is that's how high the watermark went.
• 32:37
  And now that the watermark has went that high, if you if it, if
• 32:40
  it doesn't hit that, now all you see is like recession and like
• 32:46
  you're, you're super bummed out and, and like, I'm super guilty
• 32:48
  about that. Amy or not Amy Lucy Campbell had
• 32:55
  a story on her channel today and it was like the rise and fall
• 32:59
  CrossFit. And like the video was actually
• 33:01
  pretty good. Like the only reason did I
• 33:05
  freeze. You were choppy but but now
• 33:09
  you're fine. The only reason that like high
• 33:13
  rocks and ethics and all this other stuff exists is because of
• 33:16
  CrossFit. But I was telling Lucy that I
• 33:19
  don't like that the rise and fall conversation keeps
• 33:22
  happening. And and that sucks.
• 33:26
  Like, no matter what happens, like I feel like we need to have
• 33:29
  broadcast because it's like if we give up that, it's like we've
• 33:34
  given up too much ground. Yes, but I don't think
• 33:41
  everything has to be broadcast and it doesn't have to be like
• 33:44
  this huge grand production. Would it be great?
• 33:46
  For sure. But unfortunately we can't go
• 33:49
  back to that. So, like, I think if you want,
• 33:53
  again, I think the broadcast helps with growing CrossFit,
• 33:59
  whether you call it the CrossFit Games or just even the affiliate
• 34:02
  side, like I think that does help.
• 34:08
  But it can't be at such a loss where you're just dumping
• 34:11
  millions of dollars into it just for the sake of doing it.
• 34:16
  Yeah, right. And things have gotten so much
• 34:19
  cheaper and easier to do. Like we should find ways to do
• 34:21
  this. Well, there are cheaper ways to
• 34:23
  do it, but I disagree to A to a certain extent.
• 34:27
  Where I do think it should be subsidized, I've always.
• 34:32
  Thought to some, to some degree. To some degree, yes, but they
• 34:34
  shouldn't. I don't think CrossFit needs to
• 34:36
  go to Brazil and spend however, you know, however many hundreds
• 34:40
  of thousands of dollars to run that regional like they were
• 34:43
  back in the day, which is really what kind of, I mean, that's
• 34:47
  what Greg, that's when he ripped the Band-Aid off.
• 34:49
  He's like, why am I spending hundreds of thousands of dollars
• 34:52
  to go run these regional competitions in Brazil?
• 34:56
  The problem, I think that that was, and I don't know the
• 35:00
  sustainability. I've heard, you know, that the
• 35:03
  books looked crazy and it was utterly unsustainable.
• 35:06
  But this is another one I've wanted to write an article on.
• 35:11
  But you really can't because like, so the only thing that
• 35:16
  matters in business is accounts receivable.
• 35:19
  If you want to grow a business, you have to have an accounts
• 35:21
  receivable. You have to have.
• 35:23
  People paying you. People paying you and what
• 35:26
  regionals did was create an accounts receivable situation
• 35:29
  for the entire community and then you took it away.
• 35:34
  And what we've been doing for the past, what, 6-7 years now is
• 35:39
  hoping that that would come back and using every situation that
• 35:42
  we get to pretend that it's coming back.
• 35:44
  And it's like what we needed was like, that's what CrossFit did.
• 35:47
  Was it, it laid the base for the ecosystem to to live on top of
• 35:52
  it? Was it doing it too heavy?
• 35:54
  Maybe I'd have that argument. But like, I think that it should
• 35:57
  probably have a bigger hand in it than it does right now.
• 36:01
  Yes, yeah, I don't. I would agree that ripping it
• 36:05
  out down to nothing was the wrong move.
• 36:09
  Such a bad move. Anyway, sorry.
• 36:12
  All right, Next up, let's see this one.
• 36:16
  CrossFit Games. You'll like this one, Tyler.
• 36:20
  Me too. Us being in late stage CrossFit
• 36:23
  with the Games, the programming is just so old and worn out.
• 36:28
  It feels like Dave just programs different versions of the same
• 36:30
  workouts every year. It just kind of, it doesn't have
• 36:33
  that oomph it used to. I think we all feel that.
• 36:36
  I think part of it is the Lazar thing.
• 36:38
  It kind of lost its vibe a little bit.
• 36:42
  We're doing what Dave Castro's CrossFit is.
• 36:45
  Dave Castro's CrossFit and don't like, don't get me wrong here, I
• 36:49
  like some of Dave's version of CrossFit.
• 36:52
  But what was Mason talking about earlier with like, you know,
• 36:58
  those wall balls and all that stuff.
• 37:00
  Like what we like is the the unknown and the unknowable part,
• 37:03
  the things that are like, what's new?
• 37:06
  And like if we just go inside and start doing those things,
• 37:11
  it's just reaffirming that we're training to train again.
• 37:14
  And that's so. Stupid.
• 37:15
  I mean, it's yeah, I mean, that's a better way of saying
• 37:19
  that going inside and doing only indoor CrossFit is for the Games
• 37:24
  is boring. And I don't.
• 37:31
  Yeah, it's cool that you do thrusters fast, but it's not the
• 37:34
  same as doing CrossFit better than other people.
• 37:39
  There's a difference there. This this kind of comment will
• 37:42
  get you blocked. It's such.
• 37:45
  Emmanuel Abbasa, It doesn't matter how many Subs he has.
• 37:50
  If you're saying something good, why would you not?
• 37:52
  He also number 1, he has way more Subs on his actual channel.
• 37:55
  This is the second channel. If you'd watch earlier you would
• 37:58
  understand that and #2 it's good content.
• 38:01
  I agree Emmanuel, and he's a cool fucking dude.
• 38:04
  So get out of here, Emmanuel. He has 2000 views to 2100 views
• 38:09
  on 258 subscribers so. Pretty freaking good.
• 38:13
  It's a pretty good ratio. I know other channels that have
• 38:17
  30,000 plus they can't break 1000.
• 38:19
  So there's the difference. Let's see.
• 38:24
  Yeah, we'll keep going. Part of that is kind of stuff
• 38:28
  going on with like HQ. One of the things I've noticed
• 38:31
  with the CrossFit Games is sponsors come in and then they
• 38:33
  just leave like right after. If you see other sports, they'll
• 38:37
  have these long standing sponsors that are years and
• 38:40
  years and years and I know we're a new sport, so it's probably
• 38:42
  not going to be the same. Crossfitters are so loyal and so
• 38:45
  gung ho about stuff that sponsors will come in.
• 38:48
  They immediately went over like all Crossfitters, and then they
• 38:51
  know that if they leave and don't sponsor anymore, us
• 38:53
  Crossfitters are still going to buy from them.
• 38:56
  Mostly, yeah. If they still sold the four, I'd
• 39:01
  be buying the four. The Reebok 4.
• 39:05
  Oh yeah, the Nano 4 is the best shoe of all time.
• 39:07
  I. Think I started with the five.
• 39:11
  That point about the sponsorship isn't 100% correct.
• 39:14
  What what's wrong with it? I think the so Reebok came in 10
• 39:22
  year contract right? And then they kind of, Oh yeah,
• 39:28
  CrossFit still made the shoe even though they can't to boot.
• 39:32
  They can't call. They can't what?
• 39:36
  They can't call it CrossFit, right?
• 39:38
  They don't. The sponsors will still buy it.
• 39:39
  Now the one counter to Mason is Noble came in, they left and I
• 39:48
  don't think many people stuck around with them.
• 39:50
  Nobody jumped onto the Go Ruck train, nobody jumped onto the
• 39:55
  Northern Spirit train, Vilitas. I can't imagine anybody's buying
• 39:59
  Vilitas jump ropes now after they they sponsored the games.
• 40:05
  And they ruined Colton's event. Colton chose a Vilita's jump
• 40:12
  rope. I will withhold judgement, but
• 40:15
  that's on him. I was thinking about this.
• 40:19
  So why doesn't if I were, if I were in the partnerships
• 40:26
  department at HQ, I'd be like mandatory our next partner has
• 40:31
  to be like a five year partner. I think that the the value only
• 40:37
  starts to get to the point where you're going to recoup at that
• 40:40
  five year mark or the three three to five year mark, right.
• 40:45
  But there's a name on there. But there's a but this throw it.
• 40:47
  Well, yeah. But think about what Reebok did.
• 40:50
  They changed it the trajectory dramatically, yes, Go Rec didn't
• 40:56
  change anything. They just put grow go Rec on
• 40:59
  there. They weren't even the Go Rec
• 41:00
  CrossFit Games. It was just.
• 41:02
  They were just no Reebok. Reebok became synonymous.
• 41:05
  Yes. So don't you think that a brand
• 41:07
  that comes in has to? Pony up big.
• 41:11
  Make it big. Right now, it's just like, hey,
• 41:13
  here's enough to run the games. To make a splash like this is
• 41:17
  going to, it has to change if you want to call it the sport,
• 41:21
  but it has to change the CrossFit Games in a meaningful
• 41:25
  way. Whether that's a bigger prize
• 41:27
  purse, subsidizing more of the live streams, going to a bigger
• 41:32
  venue, something that actually makes a a meaningful change to
• 41:35
  make that like, oh, that the community sees and respects it
• 41:41
  versus just being like, oh, I'm a sponsor.
• 41:43
  So both Steve, Steven and Jonathan, also Jonathan, are you
• 41:48
  my Jonathan Hall? They both make the same point,
• 41:53
  which is wouldn't have a sponsor if they mandated three to five
• 41:57
  years. Does that prove Mason's point
• 42:02
  that we're at late stage CrossFit?
• 42:05
  No. Do you think they just saw that?
• 42:08
  Like after Reebok? After what, 2017?
• 42:13
  Sorry, I keep going. After 20 After 2018 games.
• 42:16
  Well, 2014 was the high that the high watermark.
• 42:22
  No, that was that was the fastest acceleration.
• 42:25
  I would say 15161718 it was still growing and going the
• 42:30
  right way. And then the fall of 2018 when
• 42:33
  he when all social media got cut off and media department was
• 42:38
  fired, that's when it just but I think they were still growing
• 42:41
  through 20. 18 But it was like it was like this in 2012 and
• 42:45
  then like 2018 is probably like slightly positive but not it
• 42:50
  was, it was like maybe five, 1015% not 80. 90% I just wonder
• 42:59
  if like again the sponsors like Reebok was a non CrossFit brand
• 43:07
  that came in and one over cross fitters.
• 43:14
  Do you need a different brain outside of the CrossFit sphere
• 43:21
  to do it Or I'm just trying to think like why would valet does
• 43:27
  not get any bump? I'm assuming they didn't get a
• 43:31
  bump, meaningful bump from sponsoring.
• 43:34
  Northern Spirit did not, or not enough to say I'm going to stick
• 43:38
  with it for a second year. When I saw those products, the
• 43:48
  Leetes never really gave a shot. Noble.
• 43:51
  Noble shoes are ass. They're terrible shoes, right?
• 43:55
  Noble. Actually Noble's a bad example
• 43:57
  because they did feel kind of part of the sport for a minute.
• 44:02
  Like they weren't as big as Reebok, but they felt a lot
• 44:05
  more. Like they were, yeah, they were
• 44:07
  coming in. And I mean.
• 44:10
  Go ruck I felt bad about because their their products were good
• 44:14
  like we'd besides the shoes, the shoes are terrible, but like the
• 44:20
  their other products are good products and I and so I felt bad
• 44:22
  that they didn't grow, but they did just feel like a sponsor as
• 44:26
  opposed to what you were saying about Reebok where you're like a
• 44:28
  true partner. You believe in us as this in a
• 44:30
  sport as a methodology. You are ingrained in our
• 44:33
  society. There has not been another one
• 44:35
  of those since Reebok Noble. Kind of like almost was there
• 44:42
  but then pulled out. Well, they they ruined it by
• 44:45
  going all different directions and wanting to get bigger and go
• 44:47
  into the NFLPGA and not just focus on innovating within the
• 44:52
  CrossFit sector. I thought they could become
• 44:54
  bigger and better than that and not really sure that's true.
• 45:02
  Jonathan, I wonder if brands like Tier and Nike made it
• 45:05
  evident that you can obtain significant purchasing CrossFit
• 45:08
  without the risk to goodwill for a title sponsor?
• 45:16
  Yes. Nike, yes, tier.
• 45:20
  I mean, I don't know how much they did, but I mean they were
• 45:22
  synonymous with Tierra. Watapalooza Tier did a very good
• 45:26
  job at that. You know, though, I you don't
• 45:29
  see, you don't see a crazy amount of their shoes, you don't
• 45:33
  see a crazy amount of their, I think you probably see more of
• 45:36
  their apparel than you do of their shoes.
• 45:39
  And they sponsored every athlete for a minute.
• 45:43
  They came in for a while. I mean, they came in hot and
• 45:45
  sponsored everybody for. Sure, it was crazy, like you
• 45:47
  couldn't throw a throw a rock and not hit a tier athlete.
• 45:50
  I would say out of the 80 athletes on the from the games,
• 45:52
  I would say 60 were wearing tier shoes, 50. 60 tiers mid.
• 45:58
  To be honest, yeah, I've never, I've never tried on their shoes,
• 46:01
  so I won't speak about them, but.
• 46:04
  I have quite a few pair. But I don't see it, like when I
• 46:07
  go to into gyms, I don't see tear shoes.
• 46:09
  They're like, they stand out in my brain a lot, guys.
• 46:16
  We don't know what's. You know how to get in the back
• 46:18
  now. You don't don't need a link now
• 46:19
  anymore. This is a.
• 46:23
  But anyway, I, I wish we could get to that point again where
• 46:26
  it's like, I, I still think the brand is valuable enough to have
• 46:32
  a 510 year. Like there's, there's so many,
• 46:35
  there's, there's like 4 things that are so fixable tomorrow
• 46:38
  that you could get it back to 18 level I think.
• 46:43
  Yeah, I I just, I mean, I go back to coffee pods and wads
• 46:47
  around the whiteboard. One of the early shows that I
• 46:49
  did with I think it might have been Hiller and Seth Page.
• 46:54
  And it was like what outside brand and, and Seth came up with
• 46:57
  an idea of like going to Chase credit card and like having them
• 47:02
  come in and like provide things special for CrossFit, CrossFit
• 47:06
  affiliates. Like, you know, if they came in
• 47:09
  to help with financing for gyms or something like doing
• 47:12
  something like that would be huge.
• 47:14
  I think that's where, again, if you're going to be a partner,
• 47:17
  that's where you need to, to move to.
• 47:19
  If we if we could get to that point, let's see 7 Is Johnny
• 47:30
  going to show up or? No, he's he's, he's he.
• 47:33
  Called it. He's going to every like 10.
• 47:35
  Minutes 740. 750 Jeez. Such good docking people.
• 47:41
  The next part is the media. The CrossFit Games media itself,
• 47:44
  and also kind of like the outside media, CrossFit ads and
• 47:48
  CrossFit ad campaign going on right now is basically just
• 47:52
  rerun of kind of the old stuff. The road to the Games is just
• 47:55
  kind of like a rerun of the old stuff.
• 47:57
  It feels like there's no real kind of authenticity to it.
• 48:01
  And I don't know if that's a problem, but like, I watched the
• 48:04
  Road to the Games this year and it was like all about the like
• 48:07
  games, athletes, dogs. Boy, he just like if you're on
• 48:12
  cross with media team right now, Mason.
• 48:15
  Just. Like stabbed you like 6 times.
• 48:18
  There's something true about what he's saying about the new
• 48:21
  the new ad campaign. It's like it, it's cool.
• 48:25
  It's it, it felt like it was a breath of fresh air because it's
• 48:30
  like, OK, this, this is like the road that we want to go down,
• 48:34
  right? But it's like you just turned on
• 48:36
  the road. We need more out in front.
• 48:39
  We need more road. And it's like, so it was like,
• 48:43
  come on, continue to make more stuff like this.
• 48:46
  It it feels like a campaign. I think the difference between
• 48:50
  now and what we saw years ago is that it wasn't this like
• 48:54
  scheduled campaign, like we're going to launch next week.
• 48:58
  It was like we created something cool.
• 49:00
  Let's just. Put it out, dude.
• 49:02
  Put it out there. Yeah.
• 49:03
  And we're not going to wait to put out another one.
• 49:05
  If we get another piece that comes in, we're putting it out
• 49:08
  there, right? And we're just going to continue
• 49:11
  to just flood with stuff, right? Yeah.
• 49:14
  And it's the same thing as the partner or the yeah, the
• 49:19
  sponsorships and the partnerships.
• 49:20
  They feel like a a sponsorship and a partnership.
• 49:23
  Hey, buy this thing because they're involved with us.
• 49:25
  Not hey, Reebok is like, they just want to sponsor everything
• 49:30
  because we're fucking. Cool.
• 49:31
  Reebok's starting to have its own gym.
• 49:32
  How freaking cool is that? Yeah, right.
• 49:35
  And they showed the the Reebok CEO going down there and, and
• 49:39
  working out next to, you know, the analysts who just joined.
• 49:45
  The new ad campaign blows. Yeah, the this is elite fitness.
• 49:51
  I did, I talk about this on the last show.
• 49:53
  They had a, they had a video I think of some lady, old, older
• 49:56
  woman and it's cool, she's doing CrossFit.
• 49:58
  But they say this is elite fitness.
• 50:00
  It's not elite fitness. It's a it's training towards
• 50:04
  elite fitness, but it was not elite fitness.
• 50:06
  Itself. And you putting out a statement
• 50:09
  that is just like, this is elite fitness.
• 50:12
  It wasn't elite fitness. And so it's like, you know, it's
• 50:16
  like that is this, is this the cup?
• 50:19
  Is this the cup? That's they're all cups.
• 50:22
  It, it makes things meaningless when you do that.
• 50:25
  And so he's right, like Mason's right.
• 50:29
  You got to start getting us. And then the games, the games
• 50:33
  docs. The road to the games, I would
• 50:35
  even. I'll take it beyond that.
• 50:37
  Like even, I mean, I can do start my smear campaign, but
• 50:41
  like one of the things that was bragged about with World Fitness
• 50:45
  Project was that they were going to do different media.
• 50:48
  We're going to make it different.
• 50:49
  We're going to really do stuff that's like outside the box and
• 50:52
  make it so that people care about the athletes and
• 50:54
  everything else. What's different?
• 51:02
  OK, there's nothing that's oh, wow, it's interesting.
• 51:06
  I mean, you hired the buttery Bros, you've hired other people
• 51:09
  that have done the same stuff. It doesn't matter.
• 51:13
  Let's see. John is.
• 51:16
  It's never going to show up. It's unfortunate.
• 51:21
  Let's see HQ. 60,000 views per video.
• 51:25
  Next up, we got CrossFit HQ and I think this is probably one of
• 51:28
  the biggest indicators that we're in late stage CrossFit and
• 51:31
  that is the company is being traded like a stock between
• 51:34
  private equity companies. Somebody bought it not with the
• 51:37
  intention of making it better and making money off of it, but
• 51:39
  they bought it with the intention.
• 51:41
  First of all, I can't believe you pulled up a morning chalk up
• 51:45
  a search, but. Anyway, then repackaging it and
• 51:49
  reselling it to another private equity company doesn't seem to
• 51:52
  be sustainable business model aside from people trading it as
• 51:56
  a commodity. And that doesn't seem like a
• 51:58
  great thing for the company. And it doesn't seem like a great
• 52:01
  thing in terms of getting more buzz when their whole goal is
• 52:05
  kind of just buy it, make it look good, sell it to somebody
• 52:08
  else. The Deebs.
• 52:11
  The Deebs would save us. Dabes Yeah.
• 52:17
  Well, first I want to point out that you skipped over media for
• 52:20
  media's sake. Well, did I mean did I skip over
• 52:22
  that part? I missed it.
• 52:27
  All of us just going around. It's funny.
• 52:29
  I was thinking about he he's right.
• 52:30
  Like we're all just hovering on it gets weird because boys
• 52:34
  interrupted are the athletes right?
• 52:38
  And we're a news we. Talk about the athletes.
• 52:42
  And we talk about the athletes, so it's like we have to cover
• 52:46
  Media Hill. It was interesting, but.
• 52:49
  I think we did it a little bit different, right?
• 52:51
  Yeah. Yeah, but there is like a lot of
• 52:55
  wash and repeat in the media space and it's tough, dude.
• 52:58
  Like when you, you know, spinning are constantly talking
• 53:03
  about different ways to do add things to the show, change up
• 53:06
  the show when crossfits in the state it's in and sponsors there
• 53:13
  in the state it's in and it's expensive to go do things like
• 53:16
  it gets hard to like make new content.
• 53:19
  Sure. No, I mean, it's and there's
• 53:23
  only so many things you can talk about too.
• 53:27
  I mean, at one point it was whatever CrossFit told you and
• 53:32
  people complained. You only talk.
• 53:34
  CrossFit only talks about the top three athletes over and over
• 53:37
  and over again. If it's not Rich or Catherine or
• 53:41
  Annie or Ben Smith, CrossFit doesn't talk about them.
• 53:46
  Yeah. And then it opened up to there's
• 53:50
  all kinds of outlets now and some will talk about those non
• 53:55
  top three athletes and they get 16 views.
• 54:00
  Then you'll have others that like.
• 54:02
  Love you, Scott. I mean, there's all kinds of
• 54:05
  them. It's not Scott.
• 54:06
  I mean, it's everybody. And I mean there's some European
• 54:11
  fans that don't get a lot of views.
• 54:14
  Yeah. Like, I mean, I watch Swedish
• 54:16
  podcasts for you guys and they don't get a lot of views.
• 54:20
  They. Don't know how.
• 54:23
  You find this shit? I watched one in German today.
• 54:26
  It wasn't worth clipping. But anyway, like unless you want
• 54:31
  the same thing over and over again, like I would say doing
• 54:35
  something like this where we're watching Mason talk about
• 54:39
  something and weigh in our own, like, I don't think that's any
• 54:42
  different than other. No, there's no.
• 54:46
  Difference non non like major media outlets.
• 54:50
  It's just that when you look at major like major sports,
• 54:55
  basketball, football, like you're watching either ESPN or
• 54:59
  or what or you'll spin off and you'll watch Barstool or Pat
• 55:04
  McAfee. And those seem big and different
• 55:09
  because they're high dollar things, but it's.
• 55:11
  Well, if we had 25,000 live stream viewers.
• 55:14
  Right. Like I feel like we'd have
• 55:16
  enough sponsors to do a whole lot more stuff, right?
• 55:20
  It's a little different when we're all home grown and we're
• 55:23
  we're doing this on shoestring budgets, right.
• 55:26
  So anyway. This one is a extras here for
• 55:34
  you. One is things that didn't really
• 55:35
  fit into one specific category, but I still wanted to talk about
• 55:39
  the copycats. One of the side effects of
• 55:41
  having something as good as CrossFit is that you're going to
• 55:45
  have copycats. I mean, a perfect example of
• 55:47
  this would be like comp train. They come in, they're all
• 55:49
  CrossFit, all gung ho, and then now they're like, oh, well,
• 55:52
  working people don't need to be doing muscle UPS.
• 55:54
  So we're going to make this different thing and like kind of
• 55:57
  talk down on CrossFit and it's like nobody ever said working
• 56:00
  people need to do muscle UPS, but it's still good to try and
• 56:02
  do them to develop your strength, flexibility, balance,
• 56:05
  coordination, accuracy, stamina, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
• 56:08
  blah, blah. Like, yeah, OK, maybe not
• 56:10
  everybody should be trying to do a muscle up right now, but we're
• 56:13
  not going to sit around and act like it wouldn't be good if
• 56:15
  those people could do muscle UPS.
• 56:21
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 56:22
  I mean, this is reiterating on the same point I had earlier.
• 56:25
  So Jessica Kahoy thing you're just doing CrossFit, but
• 56:31
  CrossFit does need to acknowledge that like people are
• 56:34
  peeling off and doing these things.
• 56:37
  And when it's like when it's one person, you know, when it's just
• 56:42
  Jessica Kaoy, no big deal. But when it's like you have
• 56:46
  Jessica Jeff, Josh Bridges at this point, you have Marcus
• 56:50
  Philly, you have hybrid, you have high rocks.
• 56:54
  Like they're all saying something and you're not
• 56:56
  listening and. I think we're going to have.
• 56:58
  I think you'll see more coming out of like the those that are
• 57:02
  leaving the space now create their own that's going to do the
• 57:08
  same thing. I think we'll see more of that.
• 57:12
  You're going to see more of an exodus.
• 57:14
  More athletes who are on their way out that start like I got to
• 57:17
  figure out what to do after this.
• 57:19
  I'm going to launch my own online program and I'm going to
• 57:21
  follow. They'll be more like what those
• 57:24
  those groups that you just named versus the Rich Froning who are
• 57:28
  stay true, stay, stay and say I'm doing CrossFit.
• 57:31
  It's just called Mayhem. Right.
• 57:34
  It's just our brand. Yep, this one is interesting.
• 57:37
  World type of thing it's crossfitters against each other
• 57:40
  because we're just those types of late stage CrossFit ISM thing
• 57:44
  whoop grips jump ropes by my get your first strict pull up
• 57:47
  program. Like everything you can think of
• 57:50
  in CrossFit that could be sold is being sold literally CrossFit
• 57:54
  just started their own clothing brand like CrossFit HQ the
• 57:58
  company. What is that like stick to doing
• 58:00
  CrossFit. I like the.
• 58:04
  I don't have a problem with HQHQ's always had its own
• 58:08
  clothing line, but what he's talking about is like their.
• 58:11
  They don't have it up. No, you didn't have it up.
• 58:13
  Their fitness looking stuff like their workout clothes.
• 58:20
  Yeah, I think his point was that you couldn't even see that it
• 58:22
  said CrossFit on it. That's just apparel.
• 58:24
  And it's like this tiny little thing, like it's, it looks more
• 58:29
  like Lululemon or Viori than it does.
• 58:31
  Right. And that's the.
• 58:32
  Problem you want you want to wear something that says you do
• 58:34
  CrossFit. Also the problem is like this is
• 58:38
  not neon yellow or teal or orange like why would I buy this
• 58:43
  as a crossfitter I need one of those colors.
• 58:47
  Before I can buy it. That's old school Reebok
• 58:48
  thinking there, which is interesting because I remember
• 58:52
  people complaining, awesome people complained about the the
• 58:55
  bright colors when Reebok was doing it.
• 58:58
  And then they leave. Noble comes in and puts in all
• 59:01
  these muted colors and all everybody says is I want to go
• 59:03
  back to what Reebok did. These are boring.
• 59:09
  This is my John for sure. Is it OK?
• 59:13
  To be for real. TBF, that's to be for real.
• 59:18
  To be fair. To be fair, it's close enough.
• 59:22
  The core tenet of the early day CrossFit was libertarian
• 59:25
  entrepreneurship. Why should we be surprised that
• 59:28
  as a result we have so many players in the market?
• 59:30
  I don't have an issue with it. But I think that's the whole
• 59:34
  theory of late stage capitalism is that everything becomes
• 59:41
  capital like like a sellable, like big corporations come in
• 59:45
  and it's not sustainable. So what is this?
• 59:53
  Do you want to get the press releases?
• 59:56
  I don't know what's going on, but good evening, PC.
• 1:00:02
  So that is it. Go over to Mason startup Uncut.
• 1:00:08
  Go subscribe. The what I wanted to end with on
• 1:00:12
  this was that I don't like that this sentiment keeps coming up
• 1:00:17
  late stage CrossFit, the rise and fall of CrossFit.
• 1:00:20
  And it's like the point that Amy made is like, we have our fair
• 1:00:23
  share in that being a sentiment because we keep talking about
• 1:00:27
  the old glory days and we keep talking about the shit that
• 1:00:30
  CrossFit does wrong. And I'm like, we're not saying
• 1:00:33
  we want it to go down or we want it to fall, but like a, we got
• 1:00:38
  to point out that you're not hitting the mark and we got to
• 1:00:41
  start hitting the mark. Right.
• 1:00:43
  That's all we're doing. But I I think it's fair, like we
• 1:00:45
  do have some responsibility in this.
• 1:00:48
  And I think it's some with some is within control of HQ, some is
• 1:00:54
  not, and some is left to the community.
• 1:00:58
  It's those who are outside the community.
• 1:01:02
  So Mason startup, my major problem is the degradation of
• 1:01:10
  the methodology. What's funny, though, is you can
• 1:01:13
  tell that he has a nuanced understanding of what the
• 1:01:15
  methodology is like he was playing ball with our Dave Cross
• 1:01:19
  or Dave Castro. Cross, yeah, he went in, He went
• 1:01:21
  into a little bit. I didn't pull the clip, but it
• 1:01:23
  was talking about the GHD setups, right?
• 1:01:26
  And how basically that they they've just been bastardized
• 1:01:32
  for the sake of sport versus me, like the intent of what the
• 1:01:37
  reason for that is. And now we do them and people
• 1:01:41
  are doing them. And if you searched GHD sit up,
• 1:01:45
  you'll see a video that's not by CrossFit.
• 1:01:47
  That's a sport based video that shows people doing WFP sit ups
• 1:01:53
  or Mayhem classic sit ups. Yeah, not Jr.
• 1:01:56
  Howell sit ups on the GHD. Right.
• 1:01:59
  And everybody's like, yeah, those are the most efficient way
• 1:02:02
  to do them. Sure.
• 1:02:06
  I miss when things are about efficiency, don't you?
• 1:02:11
  Something like that. So go do that.
• 1:02:14
  Let's let's get Mason over 300 subscribers.
• 1:02:17
  That would be fantastic. That way, what's his name can
• 1:02:21
  be? Emmanuel.
• 1:02:24
  Yeah, Emmanuel can be happy that he's watching somebody with more
• 1:02:27
  subscribers. Let's see.
• 1:02:30
  All right, I think we should go to viewer comments.
• 1:02:33
  John is 10 minutes away. Maybe, maybe let's see makes
• 1:02:39
  another wrong turn. What's awesome is two of my
• 1:02:42
  favorite people are are bashing each other in the comment about
• 1:02:45
  a topic that I care a lot about. Then you have to pay attention
• 1:02:49
  to me instead. All right, this is your
• 1:02:51
  reminder. Subscribe if you have not
• 1:02:54
  already. That way Emmanuel is more
• 1:02:57
  impressed with our channel. Jason Zerba whatever happened to
• 1:03:02
  the US gymnast who was rumoured to be interested in heading a
• 1:03:05
  group to buy CrossFit? I thought spin out an article
• 1:03:10
  which I actually read all the way through.
• 1:03:12
  That's not always happens about it a month or so back or am I
• 1:03:17
  losing my mind now? That was actually like March
• 1:03:23
  time frame, maybe early April. So definitely way more than a
• 1:03:26
  month ago. But I appreciate you going back
• 1:03:29
  and and finding that if it was only a month ago that you read
• 1:03:31
  it, that was Shawn Johnson. Shawn.
• 1:03:36
  Yeah. She put on her stories back,
• 1:03:39
  shoot now six months ago that she was interested and then just
• 1:03:47
  beard poof. I actually had a conversation
• 1:03:50
  with them. I never I, I, I was holding it
• 1:03:53
  close to the chest because like, you never know how these things
• 1:03:56
  are going to go, but you. Don't want to be squirrely, huh?
• 1:03:58
  Yeah, it was. No, you know they call they.
• 1:04:04
  They talked to you, they called, they asked to talk to you.
• 1:04:06
  Yeah, I know some people who are friends with some friends and
• 1:04:09
  they they were like, yeah, I just want to get your your vibe
• 1:04:12
  on the whole situation and. You killed the deal.
• 1:04:16
  Well, they seemed cautious. Really, really like probably
• 1:04:20
  responsibly cautious, like the kind, you know how it's like we
• 1:04:25
  asked George Washington to be president and he was like, no,
• 1:04:28
  and that or king and he was like, no, that's probably the
• 1:04:31
  guy you want to be king. And it's like I that's how I
• 1:04:34
  felt about them is like they were overly cautious.
• 1:04:37
  That's probably who you want to be the owners of CrossFit.
• 1:04:40
  So yeah, they were good. They were just, they were very
• 1:04:42
  cautious. I think they're out John George.
• 1:04:46
  My gut is if the guy running PF takes over Planet Fitness that
• 1:04:52
  is a master of CrossFit is doomed as we know it.
• 1:04:58
  That company preaches eating pizza and don't lift heavy.
• 1:05:02
  It's another Rosa scenario. One guy wants to be cool and run
• 1:05:05
  CrossFit while using other people's money.
• 1:05:08
  Not going to work. Just my opinion.
• 1:05:13
  Is he talking about the Deebs? The Deebs, the Deebs and
• 1:05:15
  Mastrov. I look for a clip of Mr. Deeds.
• 1:05:21
  Deebs. I watched a clip about him
• 1:05:24
  talking about weed. Yeah, I watched that one too.
• 1:05:27
  I did watch the Mastrov. Several Mastrov videos.
• 1:05:32
  That the one with him with big cat Mastrov is.
• 1:05:36
  The barstool big. Cat.
• 1:05:38
  Yeah. Barstool.
• 1:05:38
  Big cat? Not, Yeah, not our big cat.
• 1:05:43
  He's actually compelling Cat. I think he's naive if he's
• 1:05:47
  really truly interested in this. I don't think he understands
• 1:05:52
  what he's getting himself into though.
• 1:05:55
  Like everything he says sounds great about how he's run his
• 1:05:58
  businesses. Like I mean.
• 1:06:00
  Oh, he's some people in this in this ecosystem.
• 1:06:02
  He's their wet dream. Like he was talking about how
• 1:06:05
  when he was running his gyms he was paying back in.
• 1:06:09
  Was it the 90s, 80s, nineties? Who's paying his like managers
• 1:06:13
  of gyms that were super successful hundred 200,200
• 1:06:16
  thousand dollars? I think some were like making
• 1:06:19
  like recently 800,000 like 10 years ago.
• 1:06:24
  And he's very big about sharing the wealth with those who help
• 1:06:29
  him create wealth, and that he was cares more about success
• 1:06:32
  than the money that's created. Just every affiliate owner, just
• 1:06:36
  hard owner right there. But I think owning Planet
• 1:06:42
  Fitness is way different than owning CrossFit.
• 1:06:47
  It's a very mathematical game, a 24 Hour Fitness.
• 1:06:51
  Our whole thing is about people. Like basically the only two
• 1:06:55
  things that matter is are you a good coach?
• 1:06:59
  No, three things that matter. Are you a good coach?
• 1:07:01
  Are you good with people and is your rent cheap?
• 1:07:03
  That's the three things that matter, and he didn't have to do
• 1:07:07
  with two of those. He didn't have to deal with two.
• 1:07:10
  Of those yeah he he rewarded those who followed the game plan
• 1:07:14
  yeah CrossFit doesn't have a game plan actually it's leave me
• 1:07:20
  alone and let me follow my game plan and secondly like I'm going
• 1:07:26
  to have a voice I want to have a voice in everything that you do
• 1:07:30
  right yes 910 thousand 11,000 however many you want us
• 1:07:34
  affiliates you want to say now Tyler I know you got into the
• 1:07:38
  deep debate about how many we have this week but it.
• 1:07:43
  Wasn't a debate. It was an.
• 1:07:47
  Idiot yelling shit into the fucking ether and me just going
• 1:07:51
  no. Yeah, well you responded to them
• 1:07:53
  anyway. Like to have that many people
• 1:07:58
  yelling at you saying do this, do that, this isn't working on
• 1:08:02
  top of it having our channel talk about it, savan everybody
• 1:08:06
  else, like in the media space talking about it.
• 1:08:09
  People that are just on Reddit complaining about it.
• 1:08:12
  Like nobody does that about Planet Fitness.
• 1:08:16
  Yeah, right. You're running a business.
• 1:08:19
  It's not this is this is way different.
• 1:08:22
  And I'm not sure that he understands what that means to
• 1:08:25
  come in and and take it over. So I don't know.
• 1:08:30
  I've been trying to talk to the Deebs.
• 1:08:33
  He told me that some things that were said were misrepresented
• 1:08:38
  and I wanted to try to clear the air with him and and he doesn't
• 1:08:41
  let his side of the story come out.
• 1:08:43
  We'll see if that comes through or not.
• 1:08:45
  Come on, Deebs, I really want to give you a shot in here, man.
• 1:08:48
  I like Mastrov there. He needs some tweaking.
• 1:08:53
  Like he's got to call me. Of course, you know, we got to
• 1:08:55
  talk it out. I got to.
• 1:08:56
  Feel him. Mastrov has to call us.
• 1:08:57
  I'm trying to get hold of Deebs. I, I want to talk to him, be
• 1:09:01
  like, hey, listen dude, what you're running here is a whole
• 1:09:05
  ecosystem of, of people. You're running a church, you're
• 1:09:08
  running churches and that's not what you were running.
• 1:09:11
  Once he figures that out, I think we got some, some stuff to
• 1:09:14
  work. I want to give him the benefit
• 1:09:15
  of the doubt, but right now it's not looking good.
• 1:09:17
  Yeah, we'll see one of our favorite commenters, Banana
• 1:09:22
  Banana Dance Man. Man, I have missed this guy.
• 1:09:25
  It's been a while. He knows about Master of Maybe
• 1:09:30
  Mastrov's money is mostly from an E sports company LMAO.
• 1:09:34
  He managed to attract a few big name pro athletes to invest in
• 1:09:38
  his E sports biz like a rod. So that was Castro knows a rod
• 1:09:43
  right? If you want a template for what
• 1:09:47
  this goof is going to try to do, it's twitch streaming and E
• 1:09:52
  sports affiliate should just stop paying.
• 1:09:56
  What's HQ going to do? Seize your real estate?
• 1:09:59
  Lol they'll do nothing. I don't he lost me after.
• 1:10:04
  Yeah, he he hard pivot. I don't understand what how how
• 1:10:09
  he's going to turn CrossFit into Twitch streaming.
• 1:10:11
  Yeah. I don't understand how that's
• 1:10:13
  going to work. And I'm pretty sure he made a
• 1:10:14
  lot of money on Planet Fitness. But thank you banana at Corey
• 1:10:20
  Treharne. Plot twist of the century is
• 1:10:25
  that Sousa is actually behind all this news and has been the
• 1:10:28
  ultimate puppet master all along.
• 1:10:31
  The poor guy is just too busy. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't.
• 1:10:38
  Wouldn't. That be funny.
• 1:10:40
  He's been very absent lately, so who knows?
• 1:10:43
  Working at Home Depot, at Benetal.
• 1:10:46
  Are we just going back to sanctional model?
• 1:10:51
  Yes. Do you think it lasts?
• 1:11:00
  Yes, as long as the CrossFit Game season does, yes.
• 1:11:07
  I don't. I'm not sure.
• 1:11:10
  Because the Crossfest Take it back.
• 1:11:12
  I don't know what I I just get the feeling that this isn't the
• 1:11:16
  this. Isn't.
• 1:11:17
  This isn't the path. No, but anyway, that's.
• 1:11:22
  AI think it needs to be refined to figure out how to funnel the
• 1:11:26
  athletes to certain places, but I think the the sanctional model
• 1:11:32
  can work, but there needs to be better guardrails.
• 1:11:38
  I think the the concern and I think we we showed it a couple
• 1:11:41
  weeks ago, right? Like where do athletes go?
• 1:11:43
  How do you like, how does Wilson at syndicate extend invites to
• 1:11:51
  what is it 30 or 20 athletes worldwide?
• 1:11:55
  When would your almost guarantee that Ricky is not going to come
• 1:11:58
  here? So then he has to backfill to
• 1:12:01
  the next person. That next person is from Europe
• 1:12:04
  and they're like, why would I come?
• 1:12:05
  No, like so I think, I think they need to refine that, but I
• 1:12:11
  think the outsourcing model is probably here to stay, no?
• 1:12:20
  I don't know, I just get there. I get a weird vibe.
• 1:12:23
  OK, at Ryan Pelican after the Rogue Invitational bench press,
• 1:12:29
  I was hoping John was going to be here for this.
• 1:12:31
  How would you guys feel about weight classes in CrossFit
• 1:12:35
  Games? 2 heats of under 200 lbs and two
• 1:12:38
  heats of over £200. I know it's not a fun not a
• 1:12:42
  thing, but fun to think about. It's not fun to think about.
• 1:12:48
  John would lose his mind right now.
• 1:12:51
  I like that there's work to be done.
• 1:12:54
  I don't like that they scaled it to whatever you weighed that
• 1:12:59
  there. I want there to be work to be
• 1:13:00
  done and to for you to be the best no matter how big or small
• 1:13:05
  you are. I don't I don't give a shit
• 1:13:07
  about weight classes. To me it's always weird because
• 1:13:10
  it's like you have the Super heavy weights in, in
• 1:13:12
  weightlifting and you do need to to, you know, you can't have
• 1:13:16
  like a, you know, some guy that weighs 150 with the Super
• 1:13:19
  heavyweights. Have you seen the professional
• 1:13:21
  sumo wrestler? No.
• 1:13:22
  All right, give me a second. But like at the end of the day,
• 1:13:28
  that guy's the strongest, the Super heavyweight is the
• 1:13:31
  strongest. Now we are saying that people
• 1:13:34
  are the fittest. We don't give a shit about the
• 1:13:37
  fittest in your weight class. Know what that like?
• 1:13:39
  That has 0 pill. Here we go.
• 1:13:44
  Oh yeah, I do remember this. Remember when Grid made an old
• 1:13:47
  guy participate in every league? They did.
• 1:13:49
  Every team. That was great.
• 1:13:51
  It was amazing. That was DEI before it was DEI.
• 1:13:58
  So the 16 year old sumo dude defeated 39 year old, what's his
• 1:14:05
  name? Emma Medaki, who's more than
• 1:14:08
  twice his size. I'm a Medaki.
• 1:14:13
  Oh hell yeah, he's got he just because he's more nimble.
• 1:14:17
  Has to be. These graphics are terrible.
• 1:14:20
  And stop complaining about the live stream we.
• 1:14:27
  Really. This.
• 1:14:28
  This show's really changed. I miss the old spin.
• 1:14:31
  Yeah. That's for sure.
• 1:14:33
  That's for sure. Look at this little dude.
• 1:14:35
  You don't need to weight classes.
• 1:14:38
  Come on, look at that. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:14:43
  Get on her in there you go. He's just running circles around
• 1:14:48
  him. Look at that.
• 1:14:53
  Yeah, look at that. He all leveraged him.
• 1:14:57
  That's right. See, you don't need to weight
• 1:15:00
  classes, no such thing as a weight class in professional
• 1:15:04
  sumo. So you don't need that.
• 1:15:09
  I would actually say that right now the lighter weight division
• 1:15:14
  needs needs the help more than the heavier division.
• 1:15:19
  What do you mean? You got to be over £200 to win
• 1:15:22
  now. Well.
• 1:15:25
  There's that. I mean, do you think I've always
• 1:15:30
  I, I, I think about this a lot? Is that just a that the big guys
• 1:15:34
  are getting better and that just is what it is or we, I mean like
• 1:15:37
  this was the machine games, are we just moving in that
• 1:15:42
  direction? Like, is it just because we're
• 1:15:43
  programming machines or are the bigger guys getting better?
• 1:15:48
  I think, I think the way the program has shifted is going
• 1:15:51
  towards the big powerful guys. I think they're getting better,
• 1:15:55
  right? Like there was never a guy that
• 1:15:57
  was over 6 foot two other than Fuykowski who is good at
• 1:16:02
  endurance, right? Right.
• 1:16:04
  Like Asia Bartow can do any of the stuff that Jason or James
• 1:16:08
  could do. Yeah, like Easy Handle, who are
• 1:16:15
  a couple of other big guys. I mean, none of them had, like,
• 1:16:19
  they were just strong dudes, but they didn't have the technical
• 1:16:22
  side of things. So I think that definitely does
• 1:16:24
  come into play. But when you start programming
• 1:16:29
  power output on machines, and machines are a big part of what
• 1:16:33
  you're seeing now that they're all inside, it makes a
• 1:16:36
  difference. Was easy only 511.
• 1:16:40
  I think that's true. Like he didn't feel that much
• 1:16:44
  taller than me. But compared to like, but
• 1:16:47
  compared to like Frazier, he's a giant.
• 1:16:51
  Yeah, he wasn't rich. He was big, right?
• 1:16:54
  He was. Way bigger than Rich.
• 1:16:58
  Yeah. I mean, I don't know.
• 1:17:00
  I mean, I And you even see, like when Hopper goes to Rogue, he
• 1:17:06
  looks at those workouts and he goes overhead squats, burpees.
• 1:17:11
  I can't win. Medeiros looks at the final
• 1:17:13
  workout with the bike goes Best I can do is top five at best,
• 1:17:20
  right? We're starting to see, like,
• 1:17:23
  what that whatever the programming goes, there's going
• 1:17:26
  to be a different profile of who fits and wins.
• 1:17:29
  Yeah. And now, granted, we've had nine
• 1:17:33
  years in a row, basically, with Ben Smith in the middle of the
• 1:17:38
  same person, basically, Yeah, Right.
• 1:17:42
  And I wouldn't say Ben's that much different than those two
• 1:17:44
  guys. And so it's changed.
• 1:17:49
  I don't know if it'll ever go back.
• 1:17:52
  The last one he's in here at James in the gym.
• 1:17:58
  Armand Hammer is crossfat. There's no way.
• 1:18:03
  I mean, there's time that I have thought that that's who Crossfat
• 1:18:06
  was in the past. It there there's some ways that
• 1:18:12
  it makes sense, but it. Doesn't.
• 1:18:15
  It's not, I don't think it's, I don't think it's Armin.
• 1:18:17
  If it was Armin, it'd be the greatest thing of all time.
• 1:18:20
  Just let us know. Let us know, Crossfat.
• 1:18:22
  Yeah, I think CrossFit still like he goes to shit and Armin
• 1:18:29
  doesn't. We would have known about it if
• 1:18:32
  Armin went to shit. CrossFit.
• 1:18:35
  Were you recently in Korea? Oh, there it is.
• 1:18:41
  There it is. We've got to help John with the
• 1:18:43
  direction. I'll see you later.
• 1:18:44
  We call it. We figured it out.
• 1:18:46
  We figured it out. There we go, John.
• 1:18:51
  Mark comment. Yeah, this is your reminder to
• 1:18:55
  like and subscribe right now John is he's he's getting his.
• 1:19:00
  Nowhere to be found. Nowhere.
• 1:19:02
  Nowhere to be found. WFP.
• 1:19:04
  Fizzle out the fizzle out the WFP, fizzle out.
• 1:19:09
  Everybody's leaving. Jason Hopper's out.
• 1:19:14
  Beat that one by a few days. Where's this announcement?
• 1:19:21
  I don't know who that guy was, but somebody didn't believe.
• 1:19:24
  Someone in the comments did not believe that Jason wasn't Oh
• 1:19:29
  look at this. Oh man, there he is all.
• 1:19:34
  Right, let's get started. And you're in like a a black
• 1:19:37
  shirt tonight. This is weird.
• 1:19:39
  You all right, John? I'm.
• 1:19:40
  Great, I dressed up. Dude, I had to.
• 1:19:43
  I went through some stuff. I don't really want to talk
• 1:19:47
  about it, but we're here. We did it.
• 1:19:50
  Well, you're just in time for some WFP.
• 1:19:53
  Physical. All right, good all y'all.
• 1:19:55
  Y'all took long time on comic. We did it.
• 1:19:58
  Yeah. Yeah, we did.
• 1:19:59
  We did what we could to you. Know I appreciate.
• 1:20:02
  You will late stage CrossFit the hell out of it, yeah.
• 1:20:05
  It's good that you want. Can you give me a spark note?
• 1:20:08
  It's over. So that's.
• 1:20:13
  No, I mean, like, it was just that Mason brought up a lot of
• 1:20:16
  really good points. He stabbed CrossFit in the face
• 1:20:19
  about 16 times, but none of it was like, undeserving.
• 1:20:25
  Yeah, yeah, OK. Like Mason's like the great one
• 1:20:29
  of the best fans because he does make content, but he's not like.
• 1:20:33
  But it's not enough content to be like.
• 1:20:36
  One, he's not one of us, so to speak.
• 1:20:39
  You know he's not. I I get, I get it.
• 1:20:42
  You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:20:43
  He comes with an idea, he does it, but he doesn't, fortunately.
• 1:20:45
  With Mason, but he's not, he's not connected.
• 1:20:47
  He doesn't know people like that stuff.
• 1:20:49
  He just. He doesn't.
• 1:20:51
  He doesn't try to. He doesn't try to.
• 1:20:53
  He's just like, I want to make a video.
• 1:20:55
  Here it is. And sometimes it's good,
• 1:20:57
  sometimes it sucks, like the Men's Physique one.
• 1:21:01
  But no, I, I'm I would 100% get it.
• 1:21:04
  Yeah, yeah. He's like the the best fan that
• 1:21:06
  you want to have a pulse on. No, I I like Mason.
• 1:21:09
  I'm good with Mason. Yeah, Mason's cool of shit it.
• 1:21:11
  Was good World Fitness project Jason Hopper's out.
• 1:21:17
  We just found out that Austin Hatfield pulled out.
• 1:21:22
  Sam Quant is out. Victor Hoffer's out.
• 1:21:25
  Maddie Sturt is out. Paige the Menza is out.
• 1:21:30
  Hayley Adams is out. Emma Tall might be out.
• 1:21:34
  Wait I thought the Paige the Menza part was fake?
• 1:21:37
  No, the fake was that she's not hurt.
• 1:21:39
  OK, why is she pulling out just because she don't want to do it
• 1:21:42
  anymore? Just too many, too many
• 1:21:43
  competitions. She need to post somebody
• 1:21:45
  pulling out. I, I would love it would be so
• 1:21:49
  great, Ricky, if you're listening, because we all know
• 1:21:51
  what's coming. You think?
• 1:21:54
  If I would love from somebody goes, I'm withdrawing from the
• 1:22:00
  WFP just because I don't want to do it anymore.
• 1:22:03
  I like you, just you just said. I am out.
• 1:22:08
  Yeah. Paige Sementa made a post talks
• 1:22:14
  about how she got sick right after the World Fitness Project
• 1:22:19
  in Mesa. So basically it's not due to
• 1:22:23
  injury, but to advocate and putting my health and my
• 1:22:27
  headspace first. That's tough.
• 1:22:30
  It is. I'm genuinely excited to take
• 1:22:31
  this time to make some changes, rebuild properly, and walk into
• 1:22:34
  2026 with a clean slate, guys. Want to show you something.
• 1:22:40
  So I, I tried to like run in here because and the my car
• 1:22:45
  door, I stabbed myself because I was trying to like get in here
• 1:22:53
  so fast And I shut the door and it like just took my leg off.
• 1:22:56
  Never done that. And then I limped.
• 1:22:58
  I limped over to my computer. Don't worry though, I did take
• 1:23:01
  the time to grab some milk and some Oval tea because I haven't
• 1:23:07
  had anything to eat. That's why he hurt himself.
• 1:23:09
  He's in a hurry. What's there's a It's a quote
• 1:23:14
  from a movie. Due to unforeseen prior
• 1:23:17
  commitments, I cannot do the WFP unforeseen.
• 1:23:21
  Prior. Unforeseen prior.
• 1:23:22
  Commitments is amazing. Yeah.
• 1:23:26
  So they, I mean, basically anybody that has now withdrawn
• 1:23:31
  is out. I think actually, actually I
• 1:23:33
  haven't done the math, but Austin Hatfield I think may have
• 1:23:37
  a chance to actually keep his pro card.
• 1:23:41
  It'd be really close. It'd be crazy.
• 1:23:45
  By earning 0 points. Enough people withdraw.
• 1:23:48
  I mean the I mean, Austin had 910.
• 1:23:51
  The next guy that just took his place had 340.
• 1:23:55
  So damn, like 500 and. Who is that the the Gilpinator?
• 1:24:00
  Matt Gilpin, last place, we'll get 540 points.
• 1:24:05
  So like it's right there. So I mean, as more people, you
• 1:24:11
  know, withdraw, he never know. John's mic is not on.
• 1:24:16
  I'm trying guys I know. Did you see his leg?
• 1:24:19
  Just calm down guys. Guys, I'm going I'm.
• 1:24:23
  I'm going through it. Just.
• 1:24:25
  Just let me be. I y'all don't know.
• 1:24:29
  I just got my cornea back. You know, like like like just
• 1:24:34
  I'm trying, I'm trying, I guess just let.
• 1:24:37
  Me be I guess we didn't we didn't talk about the the
• 1:24:41
  Swedish podcast because that came out last week.
• 1:24:47
  See, where is it? I mean it's I posted a lot.
• 1:24:49
  Oh, friggin Roger. Roger, Roger.
• 1:24:53
  Hey, somebody out there tell me, why does Roger have two last
• 1:24:57
  names? That's a good question.
• 1:24:59
  I have no idea. Roger Gil, Gil Ross Nilsson.
• 1:25:04
  Is that a Swedish thing? First one.
• 1:25:10
  Next year, is it already finalized?
• 1:25:13
  I can honestly say that we have 3 plots.
• 1:25:18
  Three plans are because there are three things we have to
• 1:25:21
  somewhat try to follow. The CrossFit season is what it
• 1:25:25
  is. Will the CrossFit season be like
• 1:25:29
  this one? Do we have a plan?
• 1:25:31
  Will CrossFit be sold? Then we have a plan with the
• 1:25:33
  buyers who are going to purchase it.
• 1:25:35
  We have had meetings with them several times, latest in
• 1:25:39
  Scotland, the new buyers and if they buy it, there will be a
• 1:25:44
  certain change in the CrossFit plan and if they don't buy it
• 1:25:49
  then we have another plan. And that plan is either we work
• 1:25:53
  with CrossFit as we have had meetings with CrossFit and
• 1:25:57
  talked about how we can collaborate if they don't sell.
• 1:26:01
  So we are talking a lot with CrossFit, both Crossfit's new
• 1:26:05
  potential BIOS and CrossFit with those who run CrossFit today.
• 1:26:10
  We had the meeting with Dave Castro just two weeks ago,
• 1:26:13
  potential collaboration during quarter finals because we want
• 1:26:17
  to have an event the same weekend.
• 1:26:19
  What is the plan? Why now can does it?
• 1:26:24
  Does it just make them automatically sound like like
• 1:26:28
  Die hard or villains like a die hard villain?
• 1:26:31
  Or is it? Are you just you just are you
• 1:26:33
  making? That, that, that's.
• 1:26:35
  He went through several different accents well.
• 1:26:38
  It's, well, there's a second, he was Australian, there's one
• 1:26:41
  point, there's a second and third person in there.
• 1:26:43
  So the AI tries to match their tone from Swedish to English.
• 1:26:49
  So. What would the AI Would the AI
• 1:26:52
  mix our voices together? As long as you don't over talk
• 1:26:56
  over each other and it can recognize the three of us, it
• 1:26:59
  does a pretty good job. But the minute that you start
• 1:27:01
  talking over each other, it it captures it.
• 1:27:05
  But then it starts trying to it like wigs out trying to figure
• 1:27:07
  out who it is who. So either that or he's a Bond
• 1:27:11
  villain and that's just how he talks in English.
• 1:27:15
  Not sure he's not smart enough. To be a Bond villain.
• 1:27:19
  But then if you watch Dave Castro's, we can review, first
• 1:27:23
  of all, he didn't talk to Rodger.
• 1:27:25
  So Rodger was not part of the we.
• 1:27:26
  It was the royal we. Secondly, it sounds like Jackson
• 1:27:32
  may have reached out to him and then Will may have messaged him
• 1:27:35
  or texted him, texted Dave Castro.
• 1:27:39
  And to me, I read it as World Fitness Project wants, needs the
• 1:27:45
  collaboration more than what Dave Castro and CrossFit need.
• 1:27:50
  Yeah, right. Like we really want to have this
• 1:27:54
  the same weekend. Can we work something out?
• 1:27:57
  Is the way I interpreted it. Here's a big bag of cash do.
• 1:28:03
  You think it was that or like begging that they get the
• 1:28:06
  quarterfinal workouts the program for for my Orca?
• 1:28:10
  I think the most important question is how far along do you
• 1:28:14
  think Taylor is in his workings on his Roger impersonation?
• 1:28:20
  I bet he can't do a Norwegian accent.
• 1:28:22
  You don't think he can do the Swedish accent?
• 1:28:23
  No. No.
• 1:28:25
  I bet he's working. I bet he's working on it.
• 1:28:28
  He works on that stuff a lot. He actually takes pride.
• 1:28:32
  I think he's I think he's Norwegian, not Swedish.
• 1:28:36
  Roger. Yeah, Roger, I think he's
• 1:28:38
  Norwegian. I don't know, it's somewhere up
• 1:28:43
  there. Yeah.
• 1:28:44
  I think it was a Swedish podcast so maybe just speak both.
• 1:28:47
  I don't. Know he lives in Sweden, Yeah.
• 1:28:49
  So anyway, I don't know if that's really happened, but then
• 1:28:55
  of course, Roger wasn't done. We got an unlimited check.
• 1:29:01
  And then suddenly someone calls and says, ha, have you run a
• 1:29:05
  competition? No, but no, no, no.
• 1:29:07
  Take it easy. We pay for everything and then
• 1:29:11
  we do it free of charge. OK, And then the best athletes
• 1:29:14
  in the world come, OK, So you have $2,000,000 in budget for
• 1:29:17
  each competition and no risk on the budget, yes.
• 1:29:20
  OK, But we can do that, right? And then I want you to do it for
• 1:29:24
  three years at least, OK, I can do that.
• 1:29:28
  So I want you to travel as much as you can you know as long as
• 1:29:32
  as much as your wife allows and your wife wants to join.
• 1:29:34
  You can travel as much as you want.
• 1:29:36
  Unlimited budget and a blank, blank check I.
• 1:29:39
  Just as long as you travel with a World Fitness Project T-shirt
• 1:29:42
  and say that you work for World Fitness Project, you can travel
• 1:29:45
  wherever you want and whenever you want I.
• 1:29:50
  Mean I got. I anytime somebody put that
• 1:29:52
  down, anybody, anytime somebody says blank check, I'm like,
• 1:29:56
  you're full of it. You're there's something not
• 1:29:59
  right about it. I don't think he's wrong.
• 1:30:02
  Look how much Will's travelling. Look at how much all these guys
• 1:30:05
  are travelling. No, that's not what I mean.
• 1:30:08
  No, not Not that you can't deliver.
• 1:30:09
  That more about the Gillettes letting them just.
• 1:30:11
  I'm saying if like there's a blank check, you get to do
• 1:30:14
  whatever you want. I don't think that business is
• 1:30:16
  going to survive because you don't care about the business.
• 1:30:20
  You have all the money that you want.
• 1:30:22
  You don't even think it is a business.
• 1:30:24
  You know, I think I'm going to give Magnus Samuelson a call and
• 1:30:27
  give make him pay a visit to Roger.
• 1:30:30
  That's what I think. Magnus, I want you to listen to
• 1:30:32
  that podcast. Not this Magnus.
• 1:30:34
  Magnus Samuelson. No, I'm listening.
• 1:30:36
  I'm talking to this. You know who Magnus Samuelson
• 1:30:38
  is? No, you.
• 1:30:39
  Want to guess? He's probably a strong man.
• 1:30:42
  He is a strong man. Yeah, his.
• 1:30:45
  Last name's Samuel. He won the world's he won the
• 1:30:48
  world's strongest man, like in 1993 or something.
• 1:30:51
  Yeah, of course. But I want Magnus if if if you
• 1:30:56
  speak well, I assume it was in Swedish to listen to that
• 1:31:01
  podcast. Was there was there not like a
• 1:31:03
  bit of like it'd be like if if we all got hired by HQ and they
• 1:31:10
  gave like say they gave $720,000,000 and seven calls me
• 1:31:17
  and. It's like $50,000.
• 1:31:21
  Stefan calls me. He's like, yeah, dude, we, we
• 1:31:23
  can fucking do whatever we want. The blank check, just look like
• 1:31:26
  you're doing something. Wear a CrossFit T-shirt, like
• 1:31:29
  just fuck. And then I go on a podcast and
• 1:31:31
  I'm like, guys listening to this, like.
• 1:31:33
  Can you believe this? Stefan called me.
• 1:31:35
  He's got 20 million bucks and we can just fuck off and like, act
• 1:31:39
  like we're doing. That's what it sounds like, am I
• 1:31:42
  not? Yeah, but.
• 1:31:45
  He said it. He said it on a Swedish podcast,
• 1:31:47
  so nobody will find it right? Yeah, I don't think, I don't, I
• 1:31:50
  don't think he thinks anybody would find it, but still you
• 1:31:52
  don't. There's no fucking.
• 1:31:53
  Way I'd say it regardless, I don't even think I don't think I
• 1:31:56
  even I would say it and I'm pretty bad about, you know, not
• 1:32:00
  saying things. James, that's a good joke.
• 1:32:07
  He loves those headphones. Those headphones are are are
• 1:32:10
  like his Prelude. I think they're fine.
• 1:32:14
  They're different. No, you bring up a good point.
• 1:32:16
  You bring up a good point, Tyler.
• 1:32:18
  Like why are you talking about that?
• 1:32:22
  No good could come from it, that's for sure.
• 1:32:26
  There's not one thing that could be good from it for sure.
• 1:32:31
  Unless you're just so like egotistical that you think that
• 1:32:33
  like look how cool I am, I can just travel if I wanted to.
• 1:32:37
  Like look how cool like this. This group is so awesome.
• 1:32:41
  And. Then you're just and then you're
• 1:32:43
  just a douche. Right, which confirms every bias
• 1:32:49
  that I've had against him since the beginning.
• 1:32:51
  I think if Savon said hey, I'm going to give you $1,000,000, I
• 1:32:54
  would be like, hey, don't do that.
• 1:32:56
  Like give me give me like 100,000 like a.
• 1:32:59
  Million for two years. Like like, like, like, yeah,
• 1:33:03
  like let's do checks. Don't just give me $1,000,000.
• 1:33:06
  Like, I just don't think that's I don't want that much money.
• 1:33:10
  Right. What about the $2,000,000 per
• 1:33:12
  event? That's that's become the best
• 1:33:15
  meme that you guys. Have been doing. $2,000,000.
• 1:33:21
  $2,000,000 in blank check. I guess we get an idea now of
• 1:33:26
  how much they're just throwing away at every one of these
• 1:33:30
  competitions. And there's no way they're
• 1:33:31
  getting that return from their sponsors.
• 1:33:37
  No way. And then, of course, we couldn't
• 1:33:42
  leave Roger without talking about Rich frowning.
• 1:33:45
  It was rumoured in another podcast I listened to that the
• 1:33:49
  purchase has stalled partly because of rich frowning, among
• 1:33:53
  other things. No.
• 1:33:55
  No, look now more news is coming.
• 1:33:58
  No, but because he has a home that is very strong and he
• 1:34:00
  doesn't want to change owners. That was the theory I heard.
• 1:34:03
  But as I said, I have no idea what's behind it.
• 1:34:06
  He doesn't have much power. No, actually, someone surely
• 1:34:11
  thinks he has it, and he thinks he has it.
• 1:34:15
  It was rumoured in another podcast to listen.
• 1:34:19
  He has no power. It's.
• 1:34:22
  Great like why are you saying this shit?
• 1:34:28
  I don't give a shit if if you think he doesn't have any you're
• 1:34:32
  out of your mind. Number one.
• 1:34:33
  OK, sorry my brain is breaking. They were just at coaches
• 1:34:38
  Congress in in Europe. Congress coaches.
• 1:34:45
  Coaches Rodger was there. I almost got him spinning.
• 1:34:50
  He was. He was about to repeat it.
• 1:34:53
  Rodger was there. Rich was there.
• 1:34:54
  Rodger knows how much sway Rich has.
• 1:34:59
  Even if you think it's overblown, it's still not half
• 1:35:02
  shit. It's more than everybody, you
• 1:35:03
  know, Rodger. And you're you're just burning
• 1:35:06
  and a bridge. You don't need to burn very.
• 1:35:09
  You know what, your friend. Checks your ass, Can't it's.
• 1:35:12
  Very. It's very friendly, I think.
• 1:35:15
  Unfriendly. No.
• 1:35:17
  Friendly. You know what?
• 1:35:18
  I'm oh, is it is. It you know what I'm saying?
• 1:35:20
  Yeah, yeah, I know what you're saying.
• 1:35:21
  You don't think so? Just burning a bridge for no
• 1:35:24
  reason? Or maybe he didn't know.
• 1:35:28
  Would you? Pair Would you pair all of these
• 1:35:31
  like it starts to like paint a picture of this guy, right?
• 1:35:35
  Like. That he's an asshole.
• 1:35:40
  I'll. Say it for you.
• 1:35:41
  Yeah, sure. Like.
• 1:35:42
  He has no power you. Have no power.
• 1:35:48
  You have no. Power, you need to you need to
• 1:35:52
  find that clip, find that clip right there.
• 1:35:54
  Whatever, wherever that that movie is, like, wherever that
• 1:35:57
  clip is, that's what you need to find.
• 1:36:00
  The laughing in that clip is just fucking anyway.
• 1:36:04
  Yeah. I mean, I just don't understand
• 1:36:07
  why, if you're just a European event director, why you're doing
• 1:36:10
  that. Sorry.
• 1:36:13
  Yeah, like. Dumb.
• 1:36:18
  So dumb you're overplaying. Why are you showing any of your
• 1:36:22
  cards? Whether you agree with what Rich
• 1:36:26
  does or not, you have to respect where he fits within the
• 1:36:34
  CrossFit like decision making. I'm not saying they they they
• 1:36:38
  could talk to him, but like what Rich does is closely watched by
• 1:36:43
  a lot of people. Yes.
• 1:36:47
  That has power. It's weird I don't.
• 1:36:49
  Even if you don't think he has any power, you should be like,
• 1:36:52
  listen, Rich is Rich. He's got a great guy, but he's
• 1:36:56
  not involved in what we're doing.
• 1:36:57
  Like what's the point of saying that?
• 1:37:01
  What you said like I don't, I don't get it.
• 1:37:04
  You want. Rich on your side, regardless of
• 1:37:06
  how powerful you think he is, why are you burning it for no no
• 1:37:11
  reason on a podcast? Like, are you out of your damn
• 1:37:16
  mind? It just doesn't.
• 1:37:18
  And I'll give you an example when when, when Hitler, when
• 1:37:20
  Hitler did the when did the the show with Brian?
• 1:37:24
  And then people tried to on here.
• 1:37:27
  I know they wanted us to be mad about it, right?
• 1:37:30
  And I could feel whatever type of way I feel about it, but I'm
• 1:37:33
  like, you know what? He's doing his thing.
• 1:37:35
  I don't have control over him. That's that's them.
• 1:37:37
  And I could hate it. I could not care.
• 1:37:40
  But that's my response to that. No matter what, you know, Tyler
• 1:37:44
  hates freaking, what's his name, the RPM scoring guy.
• 1:37:48
  I don't. Hate it.
• 1:37:51
  I hate RPM scoring. But he hates that guy.
• 1:37:56
  But but, but he goes, but he goes.
• 1:37:59
  Listen, he does. He's got his, he's got his
• 1:38:01
  thing. It's not my thing.
• 1:38:03
  I just, you know, I just let him.
• 1:38:05
  I. Hated him.
• 1:38:09
  I I actually think he's a sweet guy.
• 1:38:11
  He's a. Really.
• 1:38:12
  He's. A great guy, Yeah.
• 1:38:14
  He's got nothing but respect for you.
• 1:38:16
  He just wants to take you, know, you over.
• 1:38:18
  He just wanted to take kilowatt peace score and replace it with
• 1:38:21
  RPM and then if it wasn't much better or worse.
• 1:38:26
  If you want tickets to the World Fitness Project finals, you can
• 1:38:30
  use Masterpod in WFP promo code and save 30% off.
• 1:38:38
  Dude, can you? Tyler's probably better at it.
• 1:38:43
  He likes to make videos like this.
• 1:38:44
  No offense spin, I know you probably can, but you don't
• 1:38:47
  care. Make like Inglorious Basterds on
• 1:38:51
  one of these comments has Inglorious Basterds in it, but
• 1:38:53
  where the Bear Jew comes out, Like you know the scene where he
• 1:38:57
  hits the baseball bat a couple times and it's Rich's face and
• 1:39:01
  then you have Roger's face and Roger, you have Roger's face
• 1:39:04
  right here and then him just bashing Roger.
• 1:39:08
  'S. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:39:10
  And then and then hold on. Somebody's got to be Brad Pitt
• 1:39:13
  and be like, hey, do you know what that is?
• 1:39:15
  Right. He's a Brad.
• 1:39:16
  Oh, Brad's here. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:39:17
  Brad Pitt's got to hyping it up, right?
• 1:39:19
  So somebody's got to be Brad Pitt.
• 1:39:22
  I don't know. I I don't know who that would
• 1:39:24
  be. No, no, no, no, no.
• 1:39:26
  Dave Castro, you should make that.
• 1:39:28
  You should make Brad Pitt Dave Castro.
• 1:39:31
  Hey, look. And this brings Rich and Dave
• 1:39:33
  together in some way, Like we're bringing the community together.
• 1:39:37
  And then you have Jason Khalifa in the back.
• 1:39:39
  And then you got, you got Jason Khalifa in the back just kind of
• 1:39:43
  watching it and smiling, you know?
• 1:39:45
  Yeah, Yeah. I'm just I.
• 1:39:47
  That's the. You should do that.
• 1:39:48
  Tyler. You can put faces on him if you
• 1:39:51
  need or you know, whoever does that, whoever does that, they
• 1:39:54
  should do. That and then in a turn of
• 1:39:58
  events, World Fitness Project published its Pro Card
• 1:40:04
  contracts. John, you'd have to be 5th or
• 1:40:08
  better to jump on this train, $50,000 for 5th place guaranteed
• 1:40:13
  money. 80,000 for first all the way down to 10,000 to compete at
• 1:40:19
  least four times next year, is the the rumor.
• 1:40:21
  And this is guaranteed money, right?
• 1:40:23
  This. Is guaranteed so.
• 1:40:25
  But any prize money that you make, we need to establish this
• 1:40:29
  because it was all a little bit hairy.
• 1:40:30
  Any prize money you make within the competition, say you win and
• 1:40:36
  the winner gets $30,000. If you're the 80,000 dollar
• 1:40:41
  person, like say you're the, you know, let's James Sprague, let's
• 1:40:43
  say he gets the highest one because he might win this year,
• 1:40:46
  right? The 30,000 you win in the
• 1:40:48
  competition goes towards your 80,000.
• 1:40:52
  It's not on top of it. So for James to get the 80,000
• 1:40:57
  or like to get more than 80,000, he would have to win three
• 1:41:02
  different tour stops and then he could possibly get more than
• 1:41:05
  80,000. That's why it is guaranteed they
• 1:41:08
  do get this money, but anything they win in the competitions is
• 1:41:13
  earned towards this and they don't get any money past that
• 1:41:17
  until unless they eclipse it. So time out.
• 1:41:20
  Let me restate this. You're saying this is the payout
• 1:41:25
  for the finals, right? But you're.
• 1:41:27
  Saying this is the payout. For the year.
• 1:41:30
  The finals. The finals doesn't give money
• 1:41:32
  it's it's the year. I mean the in itself the finals
• 1:41:35
  does but this is their their yearly contract.
• 1:41:40
  Right, It's funny 'cause it's like I've been, I've been over
• 1:41:43
  this like 6 times and I feel like I screw it, like I
• 1:41:46
  misunderstand or screw it up every.
• 1:41:48
  Time, let's say, let's say James Sprague wins this year and he
• 1:41:51
  makes the $80,000 contract for next year, OK.
• 1:41:53
  And he goes to all three of the the tour stops.
• 1:41:57
  How much was the tour stop #1 pay?
• 1:41:59
  30,000. 3030 thousand for first, let's just say he let's say this
• 1:42:04
  in this case, he takes last and he wins like the 1000 or $2000
• 1:42:07
  or whatever it is. He does that three times.
• 1:42:10
  He makes $6000 right in prize money.
• 1:42:14
  He still walks away with $80,000.
• 1:42:17
  But that 6000 is is nothing like he just.
• 1:42:20
  He doesn't get the six, he just it's applied towards the 80.
• 1:42:24
  Now if he ends up making prize money that says is $90,000,
• 1:42:28
  he'll get. He gets, he gets the he gets an
• 1:42:30
  extra 10 on top of his guaranteed contract, a total 90.
• 1:42:33
  He does not get 170. He'd have to win every single
• 1:42:37
  tour stop, all three of them, to get more than 80 grand.
• 1:42:43
  So like if he gets, let's say he gets third place in every single
• 1:42:47
  competition, his average is third place, right?
• 1:42:50
  Maybe he wins one, maybe he gets fifth and one he gets 3rd and.
• 1:42:53
  Another one, it's like 15,000 each.
• 1:42:55
  Then, right, he's going to he's, he's going to be at 80.
• 1:42:58
  It's going to be whatever your contract says you're at for that
• 1:43:01
  many competitions now. I think it's a great deal for
• 1:43:05
  807060, right? But you look at the your 9th
• 1:43:11
  place, like your 30,000, if you're like 5th place, right?
• 1:43:16
  And like this is like an awesome Hatfield, kind of like it's
• 1:43:22
  30,000 for four competitions and like you got to win multiple
• 1:43:26
  tour stops to get past that. Maybe you do, but like it's
• 1:43:31
  30,000 for four competitions is not that much money like that?
• 1:43:35
  Austin WON Austin won and took eighth or ninth in the second
• 1:43:39
  Tour stop, and he's made $36,000 this year.
• 1:43:46
  Which is 6000 more than what the guaranteed would be.
• 1:43:51
  If he was at the 30. If he was at the 30 that we we
• 1:43:53
  kind of like, they didn't put out who got what right.
• 1:43:56
  So if we think most of the athletes were around 30 grand in
• 1:44:01
  this first one. So he would have made $6000
• 1:44:06
  aside from his contract. So do we know what the payout
• 1:44:09
  for the for Copenhagen is? Yeah, yes.
• 1:44:13
  You want me to show you that? Yes.
• 1:44:16
  And again, it almost doesn't matter.
• 1:44:18
  It's just applied towards this contract.
• 1:44:21
  Because that's the part that I'm that I, that.
• 1:44:23
  I'm like, like Jeff, if you miss a competition like a lot of
• 1:44:26
  these, and here's the thing you're not really talking about,
• 1:44:28
  like a lot of these athletes will miss one of them.
• 1:44:31
  They'll do two of them and then miss one and then do the final
• 1:44:34
  because you could still make it, right?
• 1:44:36
  You get 0 money on the one that you don't go to, you know what I
• 1:44:40
  mean? So then it makes it even harder
• 1:44:42
  to eclipse your contract. So here's the prize purse for
• 1:44:48
  the 2 tour stops, Indianapolis and Mesa.
• 1:44:51
  Right? So this is just what you think
• 1:44:53
  about. You go to a competition, you
• 1:44:55
  finish first, you win $30,000, you take ninth, you get $6000
• 1:45:01
  down to 1500 for the 26th to 30th.
• 1:45:04
  What gets weird is the WFP purse for end of season payout.
• 1:45:09
  So the the finals, there is no payout for who wins first place
• 1:45:14
  in Copenhagen. The payout that you see $75,000
• 1:45:19
  is the season total points. So James Sprague enters the the
• 1:45:26
  the finals with 970 points. Roman has 920, Austin had 910.
• 1:45:34
  Whatever the the points that they get for the finals will get
• 1:45:38
  added to their season total rank that over all three competitions
• 1:45:43
  and then the prize purse is paid out.
• 1:45:46
  So it's not how you do in Copenhagen, it's how you do
• 1:45:48
  season total, so. Go back up real quick.
• 1:45:52
  So it's possible for the winner of Copenhagen to be third place.
• 1:45:58
  So, OK, but if I get third, if I get third at Copenhagen, that's
• 1:46:03
  20 grand. Let's pretend no.
• 1:46:06
  At Copenhagen, you get no if you get third place, like overall
• 1:46:11
  for the entire season, no. No, Copenhagen.
• 1:46:13
  There is no prize money in the fire.
• 1:46:15
  There's no prize money for Kobe bro so it just goes to your
• 1:46:18
  point standing. So.
• 1:46:19
  So if you are, if you're Gilpin, let's say Matt Gilpin wins and
• 1:46:23
  he has 340 points right now. Yeah.
• 1:46:26
  And he ends up, you know, climbing all with the
• 1:46:28
  leaderboard to get 21st for the season points.
• 1:46:34
  He gets $4000 for for winning the whole thing.
• 1:46:38
  Applied towards his contract. He's a challenger, no?
• 1:46:42
  He's right, right? I know, I know, But for the guys
• 1:46:43
  that are in it like it's not doesn't even mean you get.
• 1:46:46
  So there is a high, there's a chance that somebody that's like
• 1:46:51
  6th, 7th wins Copenhagen but doesn't win the season and they
• 1:46:58
  end up their payouts less than say Sprague because Sprague had
• 1:47:01
  the better overall season. And you can even do the, the
• 1:47:08
  math on your contract like if you missed one and then you know
• 1:47:13
  what the point spread would be. And then say you're like, you
• 1:47:16
  know, you'll probably get 5th, but then you're not going to
• 1:47:20
  make like that's $25,000. But you wouldn't eclipse the
• 1:47:23
  contract that you had. Then why would you go?
• 1:47:28
  So that's because you don't get that.
• 1:47:29
  You don't get that 1/3 or 1/4 of the contract.
• 1:47:32
  Oh it. Goes it it it evaporates.
• 1:47:36
  Right. Like Austin's already probably
• 1:47:39
  made-up his money. So like, not going like, yeah,
• 1:47:42
  he's foregoing whatever the Copenhagen season payout he
• 1:47:45
  would get, but they can't claw back any of his not showing up
• 1:47:50
  money. What place is Austin in
• 1:47:53
  currently? 5th. 5th so he's.
• 1:47:58
  No, he was third. He was third.
• 1:48:02
  Yeah, he had 910 points. He was third.
• 1:48:09
  So really. This is not a bad thought.
• 1:48:21
  That, well, we sort of had that. That's the Canyon, right?
• 1:48:26
  Yeah. Or no, the Canyon you climb out
• 1:48:28
  of. What was the one that was bad?
• 1:48:32
  Man, we've done so many. Death Valley.
• 1:48:35
  Death Valley, we haven't. Done that, but OK, so Austin's
• 1:48:38
  in 3rd. So really any anything he takes
• 1:48:43
  away from Copenhagen is is extra cash for him.
• 1:48:46
  Theoretically correct, unless he had a larger contractor. 30
• 1:48:50
  grand, right? Which I'd be willing to bet he
• 1:48:55
  may have had. I don't know.
• 1:49:00
  Now spin, can you explain this to me?
• 1:49:02
  Now, if they don't do Copenhagen, that violates their
• 1:49:07
  contract and this means that they will not be there for 2026.
• 1:49:12
  I don't know if it violates the contract from that standpoint,
• 1:49:15
  but they won't have enough. They won't be in the top 20 in
• 1:49:18
  season points to retain their pro card.
• 1:49:20
  Because Copenhagen's double points.
• 1:49:23
  Yes. So he's like, Austin's stuck at
• 1:49:27
  9:10 if you go down like, so yeah, if we go down here to say
• 1:49:37
  like Luca in 20th, right, Luca is guaranteed 570 points or 540
• 1:49:44
  points. So he's going to be above the
• 1:49:45
  9:10. Gotcha.
• 1:49:47
  OK. So can you go ahead and read off
• 1:49:50
  everybody that said they're not doing Copenhagen again?
• 1:49:53
  Is that a list that you have? I don't want I.
• 1:49:55
  Don't want to? Yeah, there's four men.
• 1:49:56
  Austin Hatfield out. Jason Hopper, out.
• 1:50:04
  Same quant. We think Ricky.
• 1:50:07
  I think Ricky's going to go. Dallin's not pulling out.
• 1:50:11
  Not yet. So far, Dallin's going and
• 1:50:15
  Victor Hoffer. Those are the four.
• 1:50:16
  OK. And the women?
• 1:50:18
  The women's are much bigger, somewhat.
• 1:50:25
  Emmett Hall is questionable with her shoulder injury from Rogue.
• 1:50:35
  Maddie Sturt is out in 17th. Lexi Neely is a challenger.
• 1:50:43
  She is out. She will not accept the top 30
• 1:50:46
  invite. Paige Samenza is out.
• 1:50:49
  Alex Kazan is out. And then you have Haley and Emma
• 1:50:55
  McQuaid are both out who never competed once.
• 1:51:00
  And so all of these people very well most likely will not be
• 1:51:03
  there next. Year, they will not, they will
• 1:51:05
  not have an in, they will not have a pro card.
• 1:51:06
  They go through the whatever challenger path there is to get
• 1:51:10
  into the field. So you got to pay your own way
• 1:51:15
  out to wherever it's going to be, pay for your hotel, your
• 1:51:20
  flight, no guaranteed prize money, probably have to do
• 1:51:25
  online qualifier or an additional competition to
• 1:51:28
  qualify into the tour stops. So if you didn't want to compete
• 1:51:34
  this much this time, you're not coming back.
• 1:51:38
  And they want to do more competitions, don't they?
• 1:51:40
  I. Don't think anybody wants to do
• 1:51:43
  more. Oh, world fitness.
• 1:51:44
  Project in this project. They're they say three World 3
• 1:51:47
  Tour stops in a finals is what they've said.
• 1:51:49
  They've also hinted at additional Challenger
• 1:51:51
  competitions that are like feeder systems.
• 1:51:54
  So like I think first floor might be one of those.
• 1:51:58
  The Wadla stuff that Rodger runs would be like feeder comps.
• 1:52:03
  So do a competition there the top finishers can get like
• 1:52:06
  qualify into different competitions, tour stops, so.
• 1:52:16
  Can't wait to see what happens. I'm excited guys.
• 1:52:19
  The future is bright. The future is bright for the
• 1:52:23
  CrossFit Games. Not this.
• 1:52:24
  I don't know why we're still talking.
• 1:52:25
  About it, I don't know. It's a stay tuned.
• 1:52:28
  I'm almost positive. I know you guys think Ricky
• 1:52:30
  won't show up. He made a comment that he was
• 1:52:33
  going to going to, but I think there is at least one male and
• 1:52:36
  one female that we'll see that will not end up competing.
• 1:52:40
  Zero chance to get along. They also have the exact same
• 1:52:43
  job. Just different continents.
• 1:52:47
  Just different continents. That's right, so stay tuned.
• 1:52:53
  Go ahead if you guys haven't, go to my Instagram bio and sign up
• 1:52:58
  for the news alerts if you want. If you want breaking news every
• 1:53:01
  time I post an article that's meaningful, it'll go straight to
• 1:53:05
  your DM so you can go see it right away instead of relying on
• 1:53:09
  the algorithm of Instagram. Yeah, it's so.
• 1:53:12
  Much especially. With all the sales stuff going
• 1:53:15
  on and all that, you want to be on the front end.
• 1:53:17
  Sorry, John. Sorry, no, no, that was more
• 1:53:19
  important. I I have a question, in the show
• 1:53:23
  when I wasn't there, did you say the chip wasn't that bad, Tyler?
• 1:53:28
  If he would do the chip, he'd take the chip for you.
• 1:53:31
  I would take the chip for you. You would do the chip.
• 1:53:34
  Yeah, to save you, John. To save me.
• 1:53:37
  Yeah, because I figured you would not do the chip that no
• 1:53:40
  matter what, like I felt like it would kill you.
• 1:53:42
  I'm not doing the chip, yeah. And that's why I said I would do
• 1:53:45
  the chip for you. Well, Dallin wants to know your
• 1:53:49
  address so he can give you a chip.
• 1:53:52
  He wants to he wants to send you a chip for you to do it on the
• 1:53:55
  show. I I hold on, hold on, hold on,
• 1:53:58
  hold on, hold on. I think we should come up with a
• 1:54:01
  certain amount of money that if we get from the show, then Tyler
• 1:54:04
  will do the chip. Is that fair?
• 1:54:08
  Is that a fair thing to ask for money?
• 1:54:10
  I. Like money.
• 1:54:11
  Guys, you don't know what I'm talking about.
• 1:54:13
  Go to boys interrupted on their last show.
• 1:54:16
  I don't. I don't mind plugging them.
• 1:54:19
  It's probably the greatest, probably the greatest
• 1:54:21
  entertainment that I we've seen all year, even better than the
• 1:54:25
  CrossFit Games, you see, and this is a.
• 1:54:29
  Real Eat. Of, you know, you know what I
• 1:54:31
  know, you know what I know Jason will never touch the fitness
• 1:54:34
  that Matt Fraser was. Matt Fraser wouldn't eat that
• 1:54:38
  chip. Never.
• 1:54:39
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:54:39
  You know what? And that's why Jason Hopper is a
• 1:54:42
  great freaking champion. You know, like, like pure
• 1:54:45
  entertainment. Go watch their last episode.
• 1:54:48
  It was it was one of the greatest things I've ever seen.
• 1:54:51
  He's if you want to see Tyler eat that chip, let's call it
• 1:54:55
  $100. I think if we get $100, Tyler
• 1:54:58
  will eat the chip next show. Dude, there you go.
• 1:55:01
  I'm going to make Jason look really dumb like.
• 1:55:03
  This. Yeah, he thinks.
• 1:55:05
  It's not that bad dude. Oh my God.
• 1:55:08
  Let's do it. Tyler, I think it's bad.
• 1:55:11
  I think it's. Going to be bad, but I'm going
• 1:55:14
  to make Jason feel bad because I'm going to.
• 1:55:16
  I'm going to handle it like a man and not throw up like a
• 1:55:20
  fucking 5 year old. Flip it.
• 1:55:26
  Dude, I, I'm excited. I, I think, I think it's going
• 1:55:30
  to tear you apart. I heard I was taking a shower
• 1:55:33
  and I was listening. It was in the shower and I heard
• 1:55:39
  I and I went. I went.
• 1:55:41
  Been there buddy. We're going to count this.
• 1:55:44
  It came in a little bit earlier, but.
• 1:55:47
  We're. Going to count this one.
• 1:55:52
  Lee Frazier came in a little bit earlier but it goes towards the
• 1:55:55
  $100. Maybe a little sarcastic, but JY
• 1:55:57
  said Mayhem and Castro together. This Houston kid gets me.
• 1:56:01
  Tyler Walkins Ship Fund $90.00. Away Hopper is working on the
• 1:56:07
  The Hop shop right now. Flooring's going in tomorrow
• 1:56:09
  morning, so William Fultz from Murfreesboro, TN.
• 1:56:16
  Murfreesboro, Tyler, I think you should eat the chip while we're
• 1:56:22
  doing the Herd Fest commentary. Like while we're commentating on
• 1:56:27
  a heat that you have to try to get through it and then you
• 1:56:31
  can't drink milk until they're done with the workout.
• 1:56:35
  Like you can't drink anything. I can't.
• 1:56:37
  Drink milk, John. No, I want I if we're going to
• 1:56:39
  get the money, I want the, I want the views of that.
• 1:56:41
  On you want it on my channel? OK, OK, All right, all right.
• 1:56:44
  And then I guess we could say will Tyler handle it better than
• 1:56:47
  Jason? Yeah, like that's that's going
• 1:56:49
  to be the big thing. Yeah.
• 1:56:52
  So yeah, Hopper's out there working on the shop, probably
• 1:56:56
  listening to the show right now. Blind drinking's time.
• 1:57:01
  Tyler, Are you ready? I don't have my mask.
• 1:57:04
  Hey, text me, text me your, text me your address, Tyler, so we
• 1:57:08
  can get this, get this going. Down.
• 1:57:10
  Really. When do they?
• 1:57:11
  Oh dude, of course. He wants to.
• 1:57:12
  I thought this was a bit. No, dude, no, absolutely not.
• 1:57:17
  Tyler and and honestly, I, I'm curious.
• 1:57:23
  I don't think you know what this is.
• 1:57:24
  Dude, I I would do 100 bar facing burpees again instead of
• 1:57:29
  eat that chip and that was that was not great.
• 1:57:31
  Yeah, all right. Last week, John missed it.
• 1:57:35
  We covered fruits. Fruit by the foot.
• 1:57:39
  This week we're going to the other side of the table.
• 1:57:42
  We're talking veggies. You're ranking vegetables.
• 1:57:45
  I know both of you love vegetables.
• 1:57:49
  Why? I've been I've been venturing
• 1:57:51
  out here like I've been eating some salads.
• 1:57:53
  Have you? Yeah.
• 1:57:54
  You're going to rank these really well.
• 1:57:56
  When? When's the last time you had a
• 1:57:57
  vegetable, John? It's been a minute.
• 1:58:00
  I don't eat many vegetables. Actually, four days ago I had
• 1:58:04
  some tomato sauce. Tomato sauce, huh?
• 1:58:10
  Yeah, it's a part of a pizza. Well, rank these as if you ate
• 1:58:18
  vegetables. OK Veggie Tales.
• 1:58:20
  Big fan of Veggie Tales? Or if you had to, if you had, if
• 1:58:23
  somebody gave this to you. I'm going to rank this on what
• 1:58:26
  Veggie Tales. I like Veggie tales.
• 1:58:28
  Yeah, what Veggie Tale characters I like the best is
• 1:58:31
  what I'm going. To have you started watching
• 1:58:32
  those with Miss Abigail? It's it's not yet.
• 1:58:36
  We're not, we're trying to not watch TV so much, but we, we
• 1:58:40
  will. We will like when it when it
• 1:58:43
  we're watching TV, we definitely will.
• 1:58:44
  I'm a big veggie, big vegetal guy.
• 1:58:46
  All right, well, let's see where you rank your vegetables.
• 1:58:49
  First one's broccoli. Sweet and sour.
• 1:58:54
  Broccoli. Oh wait, what?
• 1:58:56
  Sweet and oh. You would not have gotten it.
• 1:59:02
  You would not have. Gotten it, he got it, was lost.
• 1:59:05
  Got it, was lost again, and then they got it again.
• 1:59:11
  I'm going 4. Yeah, he's a little kid, like a
• 1:59:16
  snobby kid on the show, so I'm good with four.
• 1:59:20
  I'm ranking the food John's drinking Veggie Tales broccoli
• 1:59:24
  with cheese on it. Pretty good.
• 1:59:27
  Cheese on them in the show so I can't comment.
• 1:59:29
  We're up man. Larry looks different with Tyler
• 1:59:34
  on that chip. Ain't about nothing.
• 1:59:37
  He had to change his thing to Billy Madison because he knows
• 1:59:40
  how ridiculous this chip is going to be there.
• 1:59:46
  Up to $17.00 Tyler's Tyler's getting nervous. 83 away.

  And Tyler can take it down no problem and.
• 2:00:15
  Tyler said that that chip's the only thing in his throat.
• 2:00:20
  He he's like, he didn't need nothing in his mouth.
• 2:00:23
  Except for that chip. What else did he say?
• 2:00:25
  He said a lot of things, Tyler said not not wanting a hiccup is
• 2:00:29
  going to happen from Tyler. The hiccup thing was.
• 2:00:34
  Crazy. The hiccups were amazing.

  A good guy. Wow, you guys are on?
• 2:04:20
  It this week. Yeah, didn't realize that you
• 2:04:22
  guys were. So totally different scales
• 2:04:24
  here. Your bell pepper was my boy.
• 2:04:30
  I think they called him Peter Bell.
• 2:04:33
  Peter Bell? Yeah.
• 2:04:38
  Yeah, bell Peppers are great, dude.
• 2:04:41
  All right, next one. Cucumbers are #1 the carrot 3.
• 2:04:47
  Less three, yeah. It's like a standard.
• 2:04:49
  I do. I want to hold out for Larry the
• 2:04:51
  Cucumber as well. Cucumbers are the best.
• 2:04:54
  Larry the cucumber you don't like.

  It's. Also a cucumber.

  OK, I didn't know if they were different or not.
• 2:05:15
  I don't. Know Armand says cucumber is a
• 2:05:19
  fruit I. Didn't.
• 2:05:21
  Know that. All right, last one it is #1 The
• 2:05:26
  best ranked vegetable amongst these 5 is asparagus.
• 2:05:33
  I love the way it makes you pee. Smells so bad it's I like
• 2:05:41
  asparagus, it's not a #1. There's not a lot of good
• 2:05:45
  options here. I'd probably say bell pepper
• 2:05:48
  number one, but. Broccoli #2.
• 2:05:52
  No carrot. Three asparagus for spinach 5.
• 2:05:55
  All right, they're all green. Carrots are not green.
• 2:05:59
  They're green. They're green at the top.
• 2:06:01
  And bell Peppers are all kinds of.
• 2:06:03
  Carrots are green at the top. They're a plant.
• 2:06:08
  They're going to be green. Somewhere.
• 2:06:10
  In the wrong green. All right.
• 2:06:16
  Well, that was that. That's a list.
• 2:06:20
  You guys, you guys did it, you rang vegetables.

  Dude, I'm gonna. I don't know if I want to say it
• 2:06:39
  on the air. OK, you don't say it while while

  I'm good. Last one real quick, Tia, you
• 2:09:07
  called it John, she pregnant? What did I?
• 2:09:11
  Oh yeah, I mean. Say all kinds of stuff.
• 2:09:14
  I have no idea what I said. I think, I think a lot of people
• 2:09:19
  are saying that though I don't, I don't, I don't think I could
• 2:09:21
  take credit for that. I think a lot of people were
• 2:09:24
  saying that. I was on the the the leaning.
• 2:09:28
  Maybe not, but I guess I was very, very wrong.
• 2:09:31
  I know I did say it a long time ago, but I don't remember when I
• 2:09:34
  said it. Do you remember when I said it?
• 2:09:36
  No, I mean, we definitely talked about it during the spin test,
• 2:09:39
  during Tear cup for sure. Yeah, that's when we all started
• 2:09:43
  talking about. But I mean, I think dense
• 2:09:45
  updates mentioned, like there were definitely rumors during
• 2:09:48
  the game that somebody was pregnant.
• 2:09:49
  Now, I don't know if that was the case, but we'll find out
• 2:09:57
  when she actually has the baby. Start doing some math.
• 2:10:00
  Seven months. That'll be crazy.
• 2:10:04
  She's having the baby in seven. Months.
• 2:10:05
  No, she's seven months pregnant right now.
• 2:10:08
  If that's the case, how do? You know, she's still doing the
• 2:10:10
  games, man. She's going to, she won the
• 2:10:15
  games five months pregnant and then she's going to have a baby,
• 2:10:18
  win the games again with through a pregnancy.
• 2:10:21
  That's crazy. I look, she already had a baby,
• 2:10:24
  like took a year off and won. Now we need a new challenge.
• 2:10:27
  Have the baby instilled with like, you know what I mean?
• 2:10:31
  No year off. That's the that's the challenge.
• 2:10:33
  She didn't even care if she had another baby.
• 2:10:35
  She was just looking for a better challenge.
• 2:10:38
  Heard she did this on purpose. She actually timed it.
• 2:10:40
  So yes, yes, yes, yes. She's like, what is the latest?
• 2:10:44
  I can still win the games. I'll ask Nick Johnston about
• 2:10:48
  that and see if he has an answer.
• 2:10:49
  Yeah, by the way, I hope that she didn't find any of this
• 2:10:52
  offensive. People found my photo cover
• 2:10:56
  photo offensive that I did her dirty.
• 2:11:00
  Oh yeah. I don't remember it being no.
• 2:11:03
  And she had like a pudgy stomach in it.
• 2:11:05
  She's pregnant. Like how dare.
• 2:11:07
  You show a pregnant woman being pregnant.
• 2:11:12
  I don't remember it being that's it.
• 2:11:15
  Please I look I look like that after a 20 piece nugget.
• 2:11:18
  I look like that daily. Are.
• 2:11:22
  You kidding me? Yeah.
• 2:11:25
  I mean and she still. Ripped out of her mind?
• 2:11:31
  That's just crazy. Wait, so you had to go back
• 2:11:37
  through the pictures you had of her?
• 2:11:40
  Which one's the most pregnant looking?
• 2:11:44
  Yeah. Well, no, he definitely tipped
• 2:11:46
  it through. It's like that's the one, That's
• 2:11:50
  the one. Hey now, hey now.
• 2:11:53
  That's gross. Why would you choose this photo
• 2:11:57
  right here? There's one.
• 2:11:59
  Dude, you strolled a long time. Yeah, a lot of people, they all
• 2:12:03
  started out initially, like Dale started.
• 2:12:05
  No, the comments. Yeah, you did her dirty with
• 2:12:07
  this pic. She still looks better than me
• 2:12:08
  though. So.
• 2:12:11
  What were you supposed to do? I'm supposed to make like.
• 2:12:14
  If I don't make a like a glamorous photo, I get in
• 2:12:17
  trouble for. I'll show you.
• 2:12:18
  Let me. Like even when I make a photo of
• 2:12:21
  Hopper, Hopper gets mad at what photo I use.
• 2:12:23
  What you do is because she's, she's, she's pregnant, so she
• 2:12:29
  needs to look angelic. So you take it and you know,
• 2:12:31
  you, you put a little highlight her so she becomes a sticker and
• 2:12:35
  then you added her back in, but you put the highlight glow
• 2:12:38
  around her. And then people be like, oh,
• 2:12:40
  look how amazing she looked. Yeah, yeah, she's got the glow.
• 2:12:43
  She got the glow. No, I, I mean she obviously
• 2:12:47
  regardless, like regardless of whether you think she was
• 2:12:49
  pregnant at the games or not, I think it's a little certain that
• 2:12:52
  she was pregnant. She like that was like 2 months
• 2:12:54
  ago at Tear Cup. That looks like Bruce Leroy got
• 2:13:00
  the glow around him. Yeah, I could just post the
• 2:13:04
  photo from 20. Was it 19 when she came out of
• 2:13:07
  the water in Madison just looking jacked?
• 2:13:12
  Pregnant. Nothing says pregnant like that
• 2:13:14
  picture. Or or like a picture of her like
• 2:13:18
  very first event in 2015, like just the most like this little
• 2:13:23
  girl looking to you just have any muscles.
• 2:13:26
  Right. So yeah, that'd be wild, John,
• 2:13:30
  if she came back. I'm just telling you what's
• 2:13:35
  going to happen. I don't see Seema.
• 2:13:38
  I remember when I was making cards for Wide Zombie there.
• 2:13:45
  I don't agree. Jason was easy to find pictures
• 2:13:48
  for that were good. There are.
• 2:13:50
  Yeah, Jason's ripped out. There are athletes that it was
• 2:13:55
  so hard for my me to find photogenic pictures of, I almost
• 2:13:59
  quit. Justin.
• 2:14:01
  It's one of the hard things to do when you get like work with
• 2:14:06
  photographers because they all want to capture like the action
• 2:14:11
  shots and it's easy to capture them at the finish line when
• 2:14:13
  they're like dying, which is cool for like social media and
• 2:14:17
  like the the moment. But then you post it like this
• 2:14:19
  or a story and they're like, how dare you?
• 2:14:23
  You did them dirty. And it's like you have to find
• 2:14:25
  photos of them that are like, just like, you know, when
• 2:14:30
  they're coming out before they've actually done anything
• 2:14:32
  like. Cards are hard because you like
• 2:14:36
  barbells don't fit well. You have to shrink them to where
• 2:14:39
  it's like you can't really show the barbell.
• 2:14:41
  Like action poses are not really good usually.
• 2:14:45
  Like rings are a really good one.
• 2:14:47
  Yeah. That's like, that's like, that's
• 2:14:48
  like, that's like. But then every other, every
• 2:14:51
  fight was on the rings. Yeah, it's I, I 100% agree.
• 2:14:54
  They tried to when they were doing Gridley stuff, they were
• 2:14:57
  like, we need one like action picture of you.
• 2:15:02
  And I'm like nothing really looks good.
• 2:15:05
  It's so hard and like I ended up going with one of me in the
• 2:15:09
  rings because I'm all stretched out and it looks good and like,
• 2:15:12
  but like I didn't touch the rings in grid.
• 2:15:14
  Like that's the picture that they that they showed.
• 2:15:18
  Is James a hard one to find an action shot just.
• 2:15:21
  So. Easy, I just figured because
• 2:15:23
  he's so ugly. That was that one.
• 2:15:26
  So yeah, he's. Well, it also helps.
• 2:15:28
  It helps if you are in a position to get a lot of
• 2:15:30
  photographs, because then you just happen to get more right if
• 2:15:34
  you're not. If you have an action shot, you
• 2:15:36
  know, yeah. Right, yeah, there might be 20
• 2:15:39
  that are bad, but all it takes is to find the one that that
• 2:15:42
  works and it and it improves it. The ones who were hard, I, I
• 2:15:47
  actually didn't see it coming. I was like, wow, you're really
• 2:15:50
  not photogenic at all. Like who?
• 2:15:54
  I can't just and I I'm not going to sell them out.
• 2:15:57
  Oh yeah, I know. It's not talking like, not like,
• 2:15:59
  just just the women. There's one that I was like,
• 2:16:05
  wow, I didn't realize until you start doing that.
• 2:16:08
  Work. I'm not talking about Laura.
• 2:16:09
  Somebody else? No, yeah, Tyler would rather eat
• 2:16:16
  a chip right now. I think we made 100 bucks.
• 2:16:21
  I don't know. It stopped.
• 2:16:21
  It stopped coming in. I think we're at like. 98, do
• 2:16:24
  that, 9098, is that where we're at?
• 2:16:26
  Yeah, let's see. Yeah, like the 98 I think is a
• 2:16:32
  good number. We need two more dollars.
• 2:16:35
  We got 2. More dollars.
• 2:16:36
  We have until 2/19. Do we have two?
• 2:16:40
  Dallon's already Dallon's on his way to FedEx.
• 2:16:42
  Do not make him turn around. Uh huh.
• 2:16:45
  He he really is. He is.
• 2:16:47
  We have two minutes, 2 minutes. Come on, 2 minutes heavy Seve
• 2:16:51
  that doesn't count. That does not count heavy.
• 2:16:54
  $2.00. Come on.
• 2:16:57
  Yeah, I hope I don't regret this.
• 2:16:58
  Didn't somebody die from the one Chip challenge?
• 2:17:02
  We need one more cent. Muscles $1.90.
• 2:17:06
  We need air it in. Oh there it is.
• 2:17:08
  Good, eat the chip. See all mofos this.
• 2:17:12
  Weekend. Herd.
• 2:17:14
  Fest game's coming to Herd Fest. It's right around the corner.
• 2:17:17
  Of course he's going. Oh, OK, I didn't.
• 2:17:19
  Sweet. Do you want to say what we're
• 2:17:22
  doing, Tyler? Yeah, we're, we're we're
• 2:17:24
  commentating the. Heart me and Tyler and live
• 2:17:28
  stream. Yeah.
• 2:17:29
  And I think the Glinton girls are going to be the B team, and
• 2:17:32
  then me and Tyler are going to be the A-Team, I think.
• 2:17:35
  I think Jenny is just going back and forth.
• 2:17:37
  So we have not talked about how we're going to do this spin.
• 2:17:40
  I just, I just, I just told you. Yeah, but like actually how
• 2:17:44
  we're going to do it. So like when you did it at, at
• 2:17:50
  Syndicate, you had a, a particular cadence.
• 2:17:54
  You were just like, did you just focus on like, I'm just going to
• 2:17:57
  talk whenever like people move into a new position or you know.
• 2:18:01
  Talking a mere spin. Spin Well, we had we had the
• 2:18:04
  fixed camera because we were the B team.
• 2:18:06
  So right, you had to like direct people where to look.
• 2:18:09
  So it's a little bit different than what John had to deal with
• 2:18:12
  where you have cameras, you kind of have to try to follow along
• 2:18:16
  with that piece of it, but. I assume, I think how it's going
• 2:18:20
  to be for us too, Tyler, I think the Glinton.
• 2:18:22
  So we'll have it'll be a fixed camera on like intermediate and
• 2:18:26
  scaled in RX. And then I thought we might come
• 2:18:29
  on the last heat of RX to give like a, a warm up, you know,
• 2:18:33
  like it's OK if we're effing up and then that way we kind of
• 2:18:36
  give together. Did you I so I plan on just
• 2:18:40
  being the play by play. You want to be the the color?
• 2:18:42
  Or do you would? You, I don't know.
• 2:18:44
  I'm usually not the color, so I'm just kidding.
• 2:18:47
  That's what I am. That's what I am.
• 2:18:49
  I I'm the color guy. I'm yeah, I'm just call.
• 2:18:53
  Just call me color. Like it's OK, you guys can
• 2:18:55
  figure it out on a Friday. It's fine.
• 2:18:56
  Yeah, totally fine. Yeah.
• 2:18:58
  No, we'll, we'll be, we'll be good.
• 2:18:59
  We'll be we'll. Be Speaking of Paper Street, but
• 2:19:02
  Speaking of Paper Street Coffee, stay tuned.
• 2:19:04
  There's something big coming. Gabe's been teasing it.
• 2:19:08
  I think next week maybe. Maybe so all news comes out on
• 2:19:14
  Wednesday, so maybe we'll find some paper street coffee.
• 2:19:17
  In the meantime, go check out Herd Fest.
• 2:19:19
  Is that on Savan's channel? Yes.
• 2:19:23
  Are you? Are.
• 2:19:27
  You, yeah. It's somewhere if I knew how to
• 2:19:30
  do stream yard and I was like, I know how to press live.
• 2:19:33
  Like yes. Let me go ahead and answer that
• 2:19:36
  question for John. We're going to.
• 2:19:38
  We're going to. Be my idea.
• 2:19:39
  It's going to be we're, it's going to be us figuring it out.
• 2:19:42
  OK, but. We text you on the link for like
• 2:19:45
  a year after he had the access. To the and then I figured it out
• 2:19:50
  like it just took a minute. We'll be we'll be we'll be fine.
• 2:19:54
  There's going to be stuff that I'm going to need like your help
• 2:19:57
  to figure out. And then I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll
• 2:19:59
  lead us on the the commentary. I'm not worried about the
• 2:20:01
  commentary. Just if you don't know what to
• 2:20:03
  do, I'll I'll, I'll be yes, it'll be fine.
• 2:20:06
  Lee Frazier, thank you. I think that's it, John.
• 2:20:10
  Thanks for joining even though it was extremely late, Tyler.
• 2:20:14
  Went through some stuff to get here man.
• 2:20:16
  Start, start preparing. That chip is on its way.
• 2:20:19
  Dallin is at the FedEx store right now.
• 2:20:22
  It is going to be overnighted to you.
• 2:20:26
  OK. Hey, take a picture, take a
• 2:20:29
  picture when you get it and like put it on like let's hype it up.
• 2:20:33
  And then and then I think we should simulcam Jason and Tyler
• 2:20:38
  both like at the same time, right, like once, once we once
• 2:20:42
  you do it and then put you guys yes, yes, and then we can even
• 2:20:46
  do James because James took it like a rock star.
• 2:20:49
  James was crazy good. At James, James ate.
• 2:20:52
  One yeah, James did no, no like a month ago he did it yeah
• 2:20:56
  really. And I'm.
• 2:20:56
  And like he ate it and was like, I mean, it's hot but like.
• 2:21:02
  James said he'd take it. James said he'd do it again.
• 2:21:05
  Yeah, James. James was like really good with
• 2:21:08
  it. I wonder if there's some trick
• 2:21:10
  if I could like eat a bunch of butter first or something like
• 2:21:13
  that. You go ahead and do whatever you
• 2:21:15
  want, man. I think it's going to make you
• 2:21:18
  freaking hear colors. I want to see you eat a stick of
• 2:21:22
  butter and then shove that chip down and see how that.
• 2:21:26
  I just hope Jeanette is like as supportive as Graceann was
• 2:21:31
  because Graceann highlight of that of the show because she she
• 2:21:36
  just like it. She was going to take care of
• 2:21:39
  him and he'd be taken. Care of no matter what.
• 2:21:41
  Number one, I'm down here in the basement alone.
• 2:21:44
  It's bedtime. It's bronze bedtime, so
• 2:21:46
  Jeanette's up there with him. I'm on my own down here.
• 2:21:50
  I think better tell her. I think you should tell her,
• 2:21:52
  hey, you might hear animal noises.
• 2:21:57
  Just, you know, if I do an elephant call, you need to come
• 2:22:00
  down here. I and I'm almost I'm almost
• 2:22:04
  serious about that. That way, like if you're ever
• 2:22:06
  like if you're really in trouble, you just go just get
• 2:22:11
  her, get her cut down to the basement.
• 2:22:13
  I don't think she. Can hear me down?
• 2:22:15
  Here you need elephant. You need to make it be loud.
• 2:22:21
  I apologize to absolutely nobody.
