James Sprague's MODE Classic, TYR Cup Review, CrossFit Games season changes bad? · The Spin Podcast

• 0:32
  Welcome to the spin. Jeez, you always.
• 0:35
  If I didn't know any better, I'd say you guys are sponsored by
• 0:37
  Frog Grips. We are code spin saves you 15%
• 0:42
  on some frog grips. The stickiest out there I think.
• 0:45
  You probably don't agree with that though, but you know.
• 0:48
  I heard they're I heard they're great.
• 0:50
  I got my I got my own grips I used.
• 0:51
  But hey I'm not a hater. I'm trying to figure out which
• 0:54
  grips work best for the the log muscle UPS.
• 0:56
  Right now I can't seem to figure it out.
• 0:59
  Big hands. Big hands, but dude, my buddy
• 1:03
  who's like 150 lbs and you know, not wearing grips at all, Small
• 1:08
  hands, he's like doing like set to five, like a joke.
• 1:12
  And I'm like what am I doing wrong?
• 1:14
  So I think it's because you you have such a good swing like log
• 1:20
  muscle UPS. You notice the people who do
• 1:22
  muscle UPS stricter are the better ones at them.
• 1:25
  Ricky, Ricky is probably the best one at log muscle UPS, but
• 1:28
  it's because he like does like a muscle Kip.
• 1:31
  It's not a big swing Kip. You've always been very flowy
• 1:36
  with all of your pulling movements, you know what I mean?
• 1:38
  You get as much swing as you can.
• 1:40
  That's why you have very good pulling endurance.
• 1:43
  That doesn't equal a good log muscle up, you know what I mean?
• 1:47
  Be less efficient you. Gotta just eat that truly.
• 1:50
  I mean, watch Ricky, watch Ricky do them.
• 1:52
  He looks he looks bad, but they're they're but he does 2 at
• 1:56
  a time and you keep that forever.
• 1:58
  Where you guys that are good at gymnastics, it hurts.
• 2:02
  It's that season where I feel like I'm just like going to the
• 2:05
  gym and I'm like, I have to mess around with some weird implement
• 2:08
  because that's always rogue like you, you just do, you know, we
• 2:10
  can expect the the log, maybe the pegboard this year, you
• 2:14
  know, some weird sandbag movement, who knows?
• 2:17
  So I'm just like, I'm in that mess around phase where I'm just
• 2:20
  trying to trying to be versatile.
• 2:21
  You know, messing with your phone just.
• 2:23
  Yeah, I need to get a better stand.
• 2:26
  I need to get better set up for my studio because I just leaned
• 2:29
  my phone on it. Especially if you're going to be
• 2:31
  doing boys interrupted more often, you need to get some
• 2:34
  professional. I mean, the boys have done the
• 2:37
  last four out of the six podcasts without me.
• 2:40
  So I don't, I don't know, man. Well, hey, I think they've just
• 2:45
  been busy with their Waza stuff. And if I would have been on
• 2:47
  those, it would have been weird because I'm like, I'm not on the
• 2:49
  team. So I you just there.
• 2:51
  Yeah, I'm like, oh, hey guys. I mean, Tier probably has their
• 2:55
  contract that you're not allowed on at that time, yeah.
• 2:58
  That's what I shot on sight. Shout out, shout out, shout out
• 3:01
  to your. Hey, you look good in the
• 3:03
  stripes. Though.
• 3:04
  You should start your Adidas podcast dude.
• 3:08
  If that happens again, I'm, I'm freaking quitting, dude.
• 3:12
  I should, I honestly, you know, I, I think that, you know,
• 3:16
  there's so many things that I could do with that partnership.
• 3:21
  Yeah, get get you and I. Announced it, so I don't even
• 3:24
  know if I'm an athlete yet. Well, you guys know.
• 3:26
  You gotta put it out into the ether that way.
• 3:28
  Just I was. Just saying, you look.
• 3:30
  You just like Adidas. I'm just saying I do.
• 3:33
  Yeah. You, you and I should start a
• 3:34
  podcast. And you know, if you know, you
• 3:36
  want to figure out how to, you know, get me an Adidas shirt
• 3:39
  like, I'll hop on too. It'll only cost you $50,000,
• 3:42
  Sir. John, whatever it is. $50,000
• 3:45
  and John is yours. Oh my gosh, yes.
• 3:48
  What have you guys been doing today?
• 3:50
  What's the days look like for y'all?
• 3:53
  It's busy, but not much news out there.
• 3:57
  I had a, a big machine battle today with some of the boys at,
• 4:01
  at my gym. I got a lot of big guys that go
• 4:03
  to my gym, very just average guys that go to the gym that are
• 4:07
  big guys. They're not elite athletes or
• 4:09
  anything, but you know, a lot of 62240 dad bods out there that
• 4:13
  can rock machines pretty good. And it was a, a vicious battle
• 4:17
  today. It was and I I felt very proud
• 4:19
  of my effort. Come on.
• 4:21
  It was a 10 minute, 10 minute AMRAP ski.
• 4:24
  Rest 2 minutes 10 minute AMRAP row, rest 2 minutes 10 minute
• 4:28
  AMRAP bike. Go home.
• 4:30
  Your your score is total cows. That doesn't sound like your
• 4:33
  kind of workout at all. That's what I I, I was very I
• 4:37
  yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, again, these are not elite
• 4:39
  athletes. I mean spend my, Yeah, well,
• 4:44
  I'm, I'm the best one at my gym by quite a bit.
• 4:46
  So I like, it's like these are just people trying to get
• 4:48
  fitter, right? And they have, you know, they
• 4:49
  work 9 to 5 jobs, got families, but one of the, they all just
• 4:57
  came out real hot man. Everybody did really good in the
• 4:59
  ski. And then by the time you got to
• 5:01
  the bike, nobody had anything left.
• 5:04
  And I, I went very conservative and then I went really hard on
• 5:07
  the bike. I was 160 on the ski, 161 on the
• 5:11
  rower and then 184 on the bike. Do.
• 5:14
  You think you think a really good athlete of machines could
• 5:18
  get like 7:50 on that or no way? I think so.
• 5:22
  What's that? 250 apiece?
• 5:24
  Yeah. No, no, because I know 10 minute
• 5:28
  AMRAP on a bike, on an EE bike, Echo bike.
• 5:31
  Yeah, I know. Dallon's pushing 2:45, so that
• 5:34
  means that's around what all of you are, and that's 110 minutes.
• 5:38
  No way you're doing that. I did AI did a 238 back in high
• 5:43
  school, but I haven't done it since.
• 5:45
  So that's five years ago I think.
• 5:47
  I think I could reach that 270 mark now, but it would suck.
• 5:51
  At the end. Not the end, no, no, probably.
• 5:54
  That's what I'm saying. You're skiing and rowing before
• 5:56
  man. Yeah, yeah, maybe like a 230 on
• 5:58
  the bike at the end of that. And then like for sure, for sure
• 6:02
  2526 cows a minute on the row. You know, I'm thinking like a
• 6:07
  1600 pace on the row. And then maybe the ski is like a
• 6:09
  1500 if you're killing it. Well, give it a crack. 16.
• 6:13
  We get 10 minutes. Listen, we can call it.
• 6:16
  We can call it the 7:50 challenge, 'cause even if even
• 6:20
  if you guys can't, I'm gonna go ahead and say you can't do it.
• 6:23
  I think 500 is very doable. I'm gonna say 750 is like,
• 6:26
  really reaching for the stars. And then.
• 6:28
  But even if y'all can't, there's some freak out there that can,
• 6:32
  yeah. That's a good workout. 2 minutes
• 6:34
  also isn't like a ton of recoverability.
• 6:36
  Like you're getting a sip of water, you're sitting for a
• 6:38
  second, you're going. That's why I was very
• 6:41
  conservative on the ski row. My whole thing was I wanted to
• 6:43
  just do really good on the bike. And then we're just, you know,
• 6:46
  cruise at 1000. What's?
• 6:48
  Crazy is that workouts the first event of the mode Classic.
• 6:52
  Yeah, dude, you just programmed our workout.
• 6:55
  I'm actually, I'm actually collabing with Hitler and Jr. on
• 6:59
  these workouts because I, you know, I'm, I'm an athlete, I'm
• 7:02
  biased. I have things I want to see and
• 7:03
  things I don't want to see. And I need you to take myself
• 7:07
  out of the equation to like, make this thing good.
• 7:09
  And, you know, I had my ideas. I sent them over the ideas.
• 7:12
  I told them to tell me how much they sucked and what we should
• 7:14
  change. And I still haven't talked with
• 7:16
  Jr., but Hitler sent me paragraphs of edits and I was
• 7:19
  like, dude, this is this is what we need.
• 7:22
  So so for those who aren't aware, because you only have 480
• 7:26
  followers out there on on Instagram.
• 7:28
  On his main profile. Follow it.
• 7:32
  Yes, we need to pump that up. So mode at mode classic 2026, if
• 7:37
  you were watching go follow that it is an inaugural CrossFit
• 7:42
  competition, you need to capitalize that FI.
• 7:45
  Do CrossFit. Yes I agree with that.
• 7:48
  I I missed that mark. Please do that.
• 7:51
  Let me tell the people what we're doing.
• 7:52
  Here. Yeah.
• 7:53
  What are you doing here? So basically I've been kind of
• 7:57
  involved as a volunteer, an athlete, A programmer, a judge.
• 8:02
  I've been behind the scenes in every way of a competition.
• 8:05
  I've been competing at them and I've kind of seen everything
• 8:08
  that I've liked and disliked. And I also realized over the
• 8:12
  last few years, like how hard it really is to make it like make
• 8:17
  it meaning make a check from CrossFit, be able to monetize
• 8:20
  your platforms. I believe it's, it's so
• 8:23
  difficult even as a games athlete nowadays.
• 8:25
  Like you could see guys, the games, the bottom tennis year
• 8:28
  who didn't even make a check. And maybe those guys don't have
• 8:30
  sponsors. So my goal is to 1 be able to
• 8:34
  pay out the athletes well, to give them a phenomenal
• 8:37
  experience to kick off the year of 2026.
• 8:40
  Three, give those people between that like 100 to 3003 thousand
• 8:45
  spot on the board. Yeah, I couldn't didn't
• 8:48
  pronounce that one. Give him a spot.
• 8:51
  Yeah, I like that. Keep it going, but can just make
• 8:56
  fun of my my slurs. So my goal was to give these
• 9:00
  guys an opportunity to make some cash.
• 9:03
  And honestly, these guys aren't ever able to make the cash at a
• 9:07
  wadapalooza or, you know, these other big competitions because
• 9:11
  the guys in the top 100 are already taking all that top end
• 9:14
  money. So yeah, that was the main
• 9:17
  motivation. I've been a part of a lot of
• 9:19
  things that I did not like. And the last competition that I
• 9:23
  helped program, I saw a lot of messy things that I would have
• 9:26
  cleaned up. And now I'm like, I can do this
• 9:29
  better. I want to give these guys a show
• 9:31
  and give back to the community that's giving me so much.
• 9:34
  So this is a CrossFit competition meant to give people
• 9:38
  an opportunity that, you know, want to come throw down, make
• 9:41
  some good money. It's kind of that crash Crucible
• 9:43
  feeling where it's inside of a box.
• 9:45
  Same similar style of programming.
• 9:48
  I'm not going to say I'm I'm the mastermind of Jr., but like we
• 9:51
  want it to feel the same way. And yeah, it's it's there's no
• 9:55
  Wapalooza now in January. So this is kind of the thing I'm
• 9:58
  hoping, like, oh, you know, I was going to do Wasa and Jan,
• 10:01
  but now there's the mode Classic.
• 10:02
  Like I'm going to go try and qualify for that.
• 10:05
  And I'll tell you about this mode campus that we're doing it
• 10:06
  in. It's been the gym I've been
• 10:08
  training in for the last two years.
• 10:10
  It's absolutely just like a gorgeous gym.
• 10:13
  If you've seen any of my videos, it's like top notch equipment, a
• 10:16
  really good space. They have so much going on in
• 10:19
  there. Like the gym's just a small
• 10:21
  piece of the puzzle and I just realized I'm like, why haven't
• 10:24
  we done anything in here yet? Like there's, there's so much
• 10:27
  space. It's like 300,000 square feet
• 10:29
  between the business center, the school, the gym, the gym itself
• 10:33
  has two sides. So the side you see me working
• 10:35
  out in is, you know, that's the CrossFit launch mode CrossFit
• 10:40
  side. And then there's a kids gym
• 10:41
  where we're going to have a second floor, the kids PE room
• 10:44
  where the kids do their school and we're going to turn that
• 10:47
  into a second floor. So we'll have two floors going
• 10:49
  at once and that's about, you know, there's like 12,000 square
• 10:52
  feet of room between those two rooms.
• 10:55
  Toast a big competition and knock it out of the park.
• 10:58
  Time out. School.
• 11:00
  School. Yeah, it's upstairs.
• 11:02
  Is it like a? An independent thing or is it
• 11:05
  like I'm confused? So it's like K through 12.
• 11:08
  It's a, it's an Academy. It's called the Liberty Launch
• 11:11
  Academy. And you know, it's, it's not
• 11:14
  actually as expensive as you think to get a kid in there for
• 11:18
  how high level of an education they give.
• 11:21
  You know, these kids, they, they get top notch PE, they get top
• 11:24
  notch teaching of real world stuff that they need to grow,
• 11:28
  not just stuff they're not going to remember.
• 11:30
  Like there's so many things I feel like I learned in
• 11:33
  elementary entry, middle and high school that I was like,
• 11:35
  man, like, why am I learning this?
• 11:37
  I don't need this to be a successful human being.
• 11:40
  So I think they're trying to bridge that gap and, you know,
• 11:43
  teach kids about insurance, finance, why health matters, you
• 11:47
  know, how to be healthy. You know, more than just math,
• 11:50
  history, science, social studies.
• 11:52
  Like it goes beyond that so. It's like an Acton Academy
• 11:55
  thing. It's the guy, Tim.
• 11:57
  Tim, what's his name? The operator, he does one of
• 12:00
  those so yeah, this that's cool that is cool facilities dope
• 12:04
  dude. It is dope dude.
• 12:05
  They will ask you who's who's who's doing the.
• 12:09
  Broadcast, The broadcast is not yet decided.
• 12:12
  I honestly, I'm trying to decide because I want the budget to go
• 12:15
  toward the athletes because we obviously have the overheads
• 12:18
  taken care of. We have the facility.
• 12:20
  So me and the owner are really tight.
• 12:22
  Like he obviously wants to see the gym succeed and see people
• 12:25
  in the gym. So, you know, that's, I feel
• 12:27
  like that's the hardest part about running a competition is
• 12:30
  figuring out like the overhead of the facility.
• 12:32
  How much it's gonna cost? Yeah.
• 12:33
  Yeah. And like the equipment, how much
• 12:35
  that's gonna cost. And so I got Lycan doing all the
• 12:38
  equipment. They're they're my equipment
• 12:40
  sponsors. They're like, oh, it's
• 12:41
  supporting James. Like, let's do it.
• 12:43
  So you know, the two biggest things like the paying for the
• 12:45
  equipment and paying for the facility, those things are done
• 12:48
  so more money can go toward the athletes.
• 12:51
  And right now we have 3 to 1000 promise for the podium for
• 12:55
  elites. And I'm like, I think we can
• 12:56
  raise that if we get good ticket sales and get enough people
• 12:59
  signed up for this. So my whole goal, I don't want
• 13:02
  to pocket a dime. I just want to give it back to
• 13:04
  the athletes. I'd go with Hamilton Rd.
• 13:07
  That would be the best 2. 150K for.
• 13:10
  Are. They the ones that did tier.
• 13:13
  Yeah, yeah. And did the Mayhem classic and.
• 13:16
  They're the, they're the O GS. They're the, they're the like
• 13:19
  the stand of the art, if that's what you're going to.
• 13:21
  Do with I deal with that just? 250 grand.
• 13:24
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude. It's what Mayhem spent on the
• 13:27
  Mayhem Classic was was like. Mostly that.
• 13:30
  In insane, but I'll I'll go ahead and give you my price.
• 13:34
  So if I, I, I need my flight and like a place to stay and then
• 13:42
  $100 and then and then $100. That's what I that's what that's
• 13:46
  what I need and I will announce the fire out of your
• 13:48
  competition. So, so this is this poses a good
• 13:51
  question. Do you think for a first year
• 13:54
  for this kind of level of field, you know, is that something you
• 13:57
  think you need a live stream for?
• 13:59
  It depends how much you want it to grow.
• 14:01
  Yeah, because my my goal, like obviously I want the 80
• 14:04
  athletes. We have 20 elites, 20 elite
• 14:06
  males, 20 elite females and then we have the 20 RX male female
• 14:10
  too. So it's 80 athletes, right.
• 14:12
  I don't think it's feasible for, you know, if if we're doing a
• 14:18
  live stream to have like because the RX and elite might be going
• 14:21
  at the same time. So I think it's like maybe live
• 14:24
  stream. Yep, Yep.
• 14:26
  So I think it's like more feasible just to have the elite
• 14:28
  broadcasted. If you're going to do it, no you
• 14:31
  can't like and and people won't. No offense to the RX athletes.
• 14:35
  People won't watch it. Nobody cares except their
• 14:37
  family. No offense to them.
• 14:38
  Y'all are awesome. I'm I'm one of you guys.
• 14:40
  Nobody's watching you. Can do to highlight.
• 14:42
  Stuff of them after, you can do highlight stuff with them after,
• 14:46
  but it's yeah, it's just not going to pan out as far as views
• 14:49
  go. So you are going for like the
• 14:51
  bubble, maybe a little bit of bubble action?
• 14:54
  West Coast crash. Yeah, West Coast crash, yeah,
• 14:56
  honestly, my my goal with it is anyone that's been to the cross
• 15:00
  the games as an individual over the last five years can't come
• 15:02
  could be this like that's that's I'm going to veto that.
• 15:05
  So right now our best athlete signed up for females is Trista
• 15:09
  Smith and then Mason Griffith is the best.
• 15:12
  Oh, weird. Wow, that's shocking.
• 15:16
  I know. Have you reached?
• 15:18
  Have you reached out to people? Yes, I've been DM ING people
• 15:22
  actively and I realized that when you're a new account that
• 15:26
  you can't really you can't really get to they don't see it
• 15:29
  message requests. So I'm just like, I just got to
• 15:30
  use my main account outreach and tag the mode classic Instagram.
• 15:34
  But yeah, honestly, I'm really pleased with the sign up so far.
• 15:38
  In my opinion, I'm actually surprised that the RX filled up
• 15:42
  and the Elite hasn't because the RX doesn't have a prize purse
• 15:47
  that's good. We're still paying like 5, four,
• 15:49
  $300.00 for the RX podium. But I'm like people are scared
• 15:54
  of the Elite name and and the the kind of premise of being an
• 15:58
  elite athlete. So that one actually hasn't had
• 16:00
  the sign ups, which is the Division I really want to fill
• 16:03
  up. So I'm pushing this thing hard.
• 16:05
  Elites, we're going to take care of you guys.
• 16:06
  It's going to be a sick competition.
• 16:09
  I wish I could tell you about Mike.
• 16:12
  You're next. You're Mike, you're next, bro.
• 16:14
  Hey. Back-to-back to Mike, back to
• 16:16
  Yeah. I have a list of people.
• 16:18
  I still have like only gotten halfway down the list because it
• 16:21
  lets me send 10 messages a day through the mode Instagram and
• 16:24
  then it says you're cut off and I'm like, this is ridiculous.
• 16:28
  So I I have sent probably 50 out of 120 messages.
• 16:33
  I have a list of athletes. You're on it, Mike.
• 16:35
  You're down there somewhere too, Tristan.
• 16:36
  Well, just go sign up. Just go sign up for the
• 16:38
  qualifier. You don't even have to get a
• 16:40
  message from me. Hey.
• 16:42
  That's the thing, man, I need you.
• 16:45
  I need you to quiet it down a little, bro.
• 16:47
  Competition. Corner Mode Classic.
• 16:49
  Qualifier you steer over there. Look at it.
• 16:53
  Is she on the ground? Yeah.
• 16:55
  So yeah, the qualifiers are going to be.
• 16:57
  Oh, I see. Like she's just made her way
• 17:01
  over that box. Is that your TV box from No,
• 17:04
  it's not my. TV box?
• 17:06
  No, no, that's up and running. Yes, yeah.
• 17:11
  I think that the qualifier wanted to make it super low key.
• 17:14
  So it's one of those things where you could put it around
• 17:16
  your training, like it's not going to be super taxing like a
• 17:20
  Wazza or a Rogue qualifier. Think of it as like you have,
• 17:25
  it's going to be 3 workouts. There will be, it will be very
• 17:28
  well-rounded and you can put it at the end of your training day
• 17:31
  if you want. So it's not like going to
• 17:32
  disrupt the elite athletes in their training regiment.
• 17:35
  Because I think the biggest, the most annoying thing is an elite
• 17:37
  athlete is like, oh, Dang it, I have to like take a deload leak
• 17:40
  going to this qualifier and make sure I feel really good.
• 17:42
  Like like so I just wanted them to be able to work through it,
• 17:44
  get to the main event, but also get the right people there at
• 17:47
  the same time. Yeah, it's on Competition Corner
• 17:50
  about classic qualifiers. Search that $5 November 13th,
• 17:55
  the 17th. So you'll be you'll be getting
• 17:58
  back from Scotland at that point.
• 17:59
  Yeah, yeah, I'll be back from Scotland.
• 18:01
  I'll, I'm going on a little Disney trip with my wife and her
• 18:04
  family. She's a, she's a big Disney
• 18:06
  fanatic, her and her family. So I'm trying to survive the
• 18:09
  three days from open to close with them.
• 18:11
  So wish me luck. Is that a Disneyland or a Disney
• 18:14
  World? I think we're doing Disneyland.
• 18:17
  So lame. I think World's cooler too.
• 18:20
  They all think land is cooler. That's where they grew up.
• 18:22
  But I'm like World has so much more to offer.
• 18:25
  Yeah, it's original. I think Islands of Adventure is
• 18:28
  the way to go. Harry Potter world and you got
• 18:31
  all the different. My dad actually Allstate, he
• 18:34
  works for Allstate, Pat Sprague, Allstate, his Instagram and he
• 18:39
  his business rented out islands of adventure for like 6 hours
• 18:42
  one night so we could just get on any ride with no wait and it
• 18:45
  was like the highlight of my childhood.
• 18:47
  It was pretty epic. So I there is no, correct me if
• 18:52
  I'm wrong, but there's no like crash level competition on the
• 18:56
  West Coast. There's nothing like that.
• 18:58
  Yeah. The West Coast is desolate with
• 19:00
  competitions like what do we, what do we have here?
• 19:02
  Like, think about it. We have the Mountain West.
• 19:04
  Which is. So Cal and then yeah, Waza
• 19:10
  SoCal, but that's like, you know, that's that's also in
• 19:13
  California. I'm talking Pacific Northwest.
• 19:15
  You have that Mountain West and now you have this.
• 19:17
  And I I'm not sure what the Mountain West prize purse is.
• 19:21
  It should be something good. And Adam and Justin and Jesse
• 19:23
  are programming that. So I know it's going to be a
• 19:25
  great show. Dakota Iron Games, it's around
• 19:28
  there, isn't it in Utah. Iron Games Utah, I did that one
• 19:31
  with Dallon and another buddy of ours named Ethan.
• 19:35
  Gosh Dang it, it's horrible. I did that one in 2020 and we
• 19:41
  actually won. Yeah.
• 19:44
  It's, it's, it's really cool. I think like you picked, I was
• 19:49
  making a calendar for the upcoming year of competitions
• 19:52
  and like what we're going to do. And I was like, I was texting
• 19:54
  them. I was like, shit, guys, like we
• 19:56
  have 13 weeks of desolation, just nothing.
• 20:00
  And then this popped up and I was like, oh, there's something
• 20:02
  we can go do a. 100% he's so sweet.
• 20:06
  Yeah, I would, I would love to get you guys involved, even if
• 20:08
  even if it's not a live stream. But that does sound very
• 20:11
  enticing to me to have you guys. Be heard of P score.
• 20:17
  I have heard of peace score. Not a fan.
• 20:20
  Now, Tyler, Tyler, if you want to come do peace scoring at the
• 20:23
  event, let's talk because I honestly like I'm going to be
• 20:27
  there helping out the judges, being head judge on the floor,
• 20:31
  you know, just helping wherever I can.
• 20:33
  So I'm going to assign people to each little thing.
• 20:36
  So if you want to be, if you want to be the scoring man.
• 20:39
  I'd love to do scoring P Score or no score, I would.
• 20:41
  Whatever you want to do, I'll I'll do it.
• 20:44
  I think Kate likes the P score. Let's do a combo of P&Z and see
• 20:47
  what we get. Combo score nice.
• 20:50
  Yeah, posi, posi. Score.
• 20:54
  Yeah, be careful how we say that.
• 20:57
  Yeah, I don't know. I.
• 20:58
  Haven't, I haven't asked you about that since you what was
• 21:01
  you lost to Austin, right? Colton lost to Austin.
• 21:07
  Colton lost to Austin. I was fourth there at Crash.
• 21:09
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I would have been third if
• 21:10
  it wasn't Peace Corps. Yeah, I think.
• 21:12
  He wasn't. He wasn't nobody back then.
• 21:14
  He got a lot better. You got a lot better.
• 21:19
  I'm saying you got a lot better. Honestly, yeah, it was Crash was
• 21:23
  such a great like entry level like to get to the games, like
• 21:27
  knowing what it took. Cuz there's a lot of guys that
• 21:30
  are like on the bubble to get to the Games or, you know, kind of
• 21:33
  guys that haven't yet made it at the games at that point.
• 21:36
  So I was like, Dang, this is like as high as it gets without
• 21:39
  being at the games. So yeah, if you're like an elite
• 21:43
  athlete trying to make it like go do the crash.
• 21:46
  Are all the members and stuff bought in like they're like
• 21:49
  we're doing we're helping mode yeah, because that's the thing
• 21:54
  that like sets it. It creates this culture at Crash
• 21:57
  that it's just like everybody's there for the right reasons.
• 22:00
  Yep. And it it creates like this, I
• 22:04
  don't know, AA baseball field where it's just like everybody's
• 22:07
  stoked and they're like, this is it so?
• 22:10
  Or CrossFit. Buy CrossFit.
• 22:12
  Yeah, yeah, honestly. So our memberships aren't crazy
• 22:16
  big yet because people don't know about the facility.
• 22:18
  Like like it's like kind of like unknown still.
• 22:21
  So we're pushing this thing hard and it's like literally one of
• 22:24
  the nicest gyms I've ever been inside of.
• 22:27
  So I will like, I'd be shocked if this thing doesn't have more
• 22:30
  members by end of the year beginning next year.
• 22:33
  Like we're kind of doing a new push with what we want to do
• 22:35
  with it. You know, they're they're
• 22:37
  turning into more of like a all well-rounded gym.
• 22:40
  Like there's CrossFit, you can do your bodybuilding, you can,
• 22:43
  you know, go in the other gym and do your high rocks.
• 22:45
  They have the turf. Well, that's why.
• 22:49
  You're not getting members. I know, dude.
• 22:51
  Well, dude, it's, it's funny, they have a lot of these gyms
• 22:55
  now are High Rocks affiliated, like my dad's gym called
• 22:59
  Lakeside CrossFit. And they're getting a ton of
• 23:01
  people that find it just because they look it up on a High Rock
• 23:04
  site. Yeah.
• 23:06
  It's nutty. It's smart, dude.
• 23:09
  We, we've been thinking a lot about schooling.
• 23:11
  My son's like four months old, so we got a while to go, but
• 23:14
  it's something you start thinking about.
• 23:16
  And if I was like, Oh yeah, there's a school inside a, a gym
• 23:20
  essentially, I'd be like, he's going there.
• 23:22
  I mean, the other options I have here in Pennsylvania is send him
• 23:24
  to Amish school, so. I'm I'm homeschooling so we got
• 23:29
  a gym inside of here, no. Matter what, You're set.
• 23:32
  You're set. Yeah, more and more people are
• 23:34
  homeschooling nowadays. Like I like the concept of it
• 23:37
  but Dang does it take a lot of time on the parents.
• 23:40
  Leslie works part time now. We got it.
• 23:43
  You got it covered. You'll just take her on the
• 23:45
  podcast, teach her Abcs on Yeah. Listen, I'll do PE in history,
• 23:49
  and Leslie can do all the rest of all the rest of it.
• 23:53
  Is history gonna be cross the game's history?
• 23:55
  Is that what's really. Oh, dude, I'm I'm a savant with
• 23:58
  any type of history like we can, we can go sports.
• 24:01
  American, European, doesn't matter.
• 24:03
  OK, I I it's freaking catalog African capitals.
• 24:07
  I got it doesn't matter geography.
• 24:09
  I have so much. I have so much useless
• 24:12
  information in my head, James that will never pay off ever.
• 24:15
  But I I can tell other people it.
• 24:17
  How did you get that? Are you just like?
• 24:18
  Do you remember facts? When Tylenol.
• 24:20
  My. Mom took my, mom took Tylenol
• 24:22
  and I went on. Oh my God.
• 24:26
  That's because that's. I won't make it.
• 24:29
  I won't make it to. Oh, my gosh.
• 24:31
  Wait, John, are you are you on the spectrum?
• 24:34
  Yes. I got it.
• 24:35
  There's a hint of it. That's fair.
• 24:37
  Dude. I, I, I have memory like nobody
• 24:41
  else. Nobody else that I that I know
• 24:43
  of. It just catalogs in my brain.
• 24:45
  If I see it, I will never forget it.
• 24:46
  Ever. Except for when he makes the
• 24:48
  wrong call, he somehow forgets. No, that's just, that's just me
• 24:52
  being wrong. But like for instance, like if
• 24:56
  we do movies or something like that, I, I can remember every
• 25:00
  single line and every single movie I've ever seen.
• 25:02
  That's crazy. So just like I'm opposite.
• 25:05
  Dude I'm opposite I don't remember anything I read.
• 25:08
  I watch like I'm like, like the only thing I remember are my
• 25:11
  workout scores and like workouts I did.
• 25:13
  Like I can tell you every single workout I did at every
• 25:15
  competition of any year. Like that's my, that's my autism
• 25:19
  there. You go real quick keeping it
• 25:21
  real. 5 bucks. John.
• 25:23
  What is the capital of Ethiopia? It's like Adiz Ababa.
• 25:27
  It's got two different names to it.
• 25:30
  I don't know if it's Adiz or Ababa or if it's Adiz Ababa, but
• 25:34
  it's it's a. That's a depressing of Ethiopia.
• 25:43
  Dang, wow. Look at that.
• 25:47
  John, that's, that's impressive, dude.
• 25:49
  My dude, so there was this game. They don't make games like this
• 25:53
  anymore, unfortunately. But like you had to put the
• 25:56
  states where they were in the map and if you didn't do it in a
• 25:59
  certain amount of time, it said you ride the short bus.
• 26:02
  You can't do this in this amount of time.
• 26:04
  And my dad beat me at this game and it drove me insane.
• 26:09
  And I played this game for like 13 straight hours until it was
• 26:14
  just, I didn't even have to see the map.
• 26:16
  And I just you know what I mean. And then and then it just then
• 26:19
  it never left me and I and then I ended up doing it for every
• 26:22
  country in the world. And then then it just, you know,
• 26:24
  all like in 4th grade, 5th grade, you know when you get
• 26:27
  obsessed about that stuff and then it just never.
• 26:29
  It's going to happen one day where it comes in like real
• 26:32
  handy and you're going to be like, I'm glad I did that.
• 26:35
  I don't think so, but thank you. I I.
• 26:37
  Hope it does for your for your own sake.
• 26:40
  She's upset about. This Tylenol and Advil are not
• 26:45
  the same thing, right? No.
• 26:49
  I don't know something acetaminophen.
• 26:51
  Yeah, yeah, I should know this. My wife's a pharmacist.
• 26:53
  She's told me this a million times.
• 26:55
  Wow. She knows that you don't need
• 26:56
  to. My mom or my wife's a
• 26:58
  pharmacist. Dude, that's crazy.
• 26:59
  You want to know what's even crazier?
• 27:01
  Cole Stager and his wife Cole, professional crossword athlete.
• 27:04
  And then Genesee was pharmacist so they he married us Cole.
• 27:08
  And like they literally do the same thing as us and then their
• 27:11
  anniversary was on the same day as our anniversary.
• 27:14
  So. That's wow.
• 27:15
  Jr's wife is a pharmacist. Yeah, Jr's wife's a pharmacist.
• 27:19
  A lot of pharmacist's wives to CrossFit people.
• 27:21
  It funds the dream, dude. Yeah, come.
• 27:26
  On You're so right, Yeah. When you don't win the games,
• 27:30
  you know, you have to start thinking like, Oh, my wife's
• 27:32
  job's really nice. Well, that pharmacist like don't
• 27:36
  they work like crazy like four days a week or something or?
• 27:40
  Crazy. I mean, you can't it depends.
• 27:43
  It's not like I don't think it's like nursing where it's like 12
• 27:46
  hour shifts because she she'll go, you know, longest 8 hours, 8
• 27:49
  1/2 hours. She actually went to part time
• 27:52
  recently. So we could, you know, have more
• 27:54
  time together. She could come to the
• 27:55
  competitions with me because like, you know, I don't know how
• 27:58
  long I'm going to get to do this like hopefully 10 years,
• 28:01
  hopefully 11:50 more years. But you know, her career like we
• 28:05
  can, we can jump back into that whenever as long as she keeps up
• 28:08
  with her licensing and stuff. So just it's nice to have her be
• 28:12
  able to do both rather than just like full time pharmacy.
• 28:14
  Sorry, I can't come to your competitions.
• 28:16
  Like I want her there. She's like, she makes me happy
• 28:19
  and helps me do better and supports me so well.
• 28:22
  So it's like a secret weapon? Just going to get that Adidas
• 28:25
  full on sponsorship you. Win you, win the games again,
• 28:29
  she'll go PRN and we'll just take a take a step down every
• 28:32
  time. Right, right.
• 28:34
  Come on. Probably.
• 28:34
  Should never let go of PRN just in case.
• 28:36
  What do you guys, what do you guys think?
• 28:37
  Where do you think the game's going in Cali?
• 28:40
  Like where do you? Carson.
• 28:42
  I I already I already shared it. And thinks it's going to be a
• 28:46
  WNBA stadium. That's right.
• 28:49
  And I think it's in Carson. Got you.
• 28:52
  When do you think we'll find out?
• 28:55
  Soon I was really. September 7th.
• 28:58
  Yeah, October 7th. Is that a random date kind of
• 29:01
  like you were saying the Raptor yesterday?
• 29:02
  James, you have no idea. You it's not.
• 29:06
  Random. It's not random.
• 29:09
  You guys know something, huh? No, we know nothing, John.
• 29:12
  I, I, I know nothing that's fair.
• 29:15
  Just October 7th. Be prepared.
• 29:17
  Speaking of the games, how you feeling after this year?
• 29:20
  How did you feel about the whole games and as a whole?
• 29:23
  Yeah, this, this year was incredible.
• 29:25
  I mean, like, honestly, I I didn't win.
• 29:28
  So that kind of left the sour taste in my mouth.
• 29:30
  But like the experience as a whole, you know, even with being
• 29:34
  in Albany, I was like, uh oh, it's, it's in Albany.
• 29:38
  But did you know? Albany was bad before you.
• 29:41
  Went I, I did because I went there for the open announcement
• 29:43
  and I was like, oh gosh, this place has not a lot to offer.
• 29:47
  But they, they somehow like, like that didn't matter.
• 29:50
  Like the show was incredible and there was, there's so much to to
• 29:53
  see and do at the venue. And, you know, I just, I really
• 29:58
  appreciated how the show ran, how they treated us.
• 30:02
  Felt like a really good redeeming year and a year that
• 30:05
  can be, you know, remembered as like a growth year, like a
• 30:09
  comeback year. So, but yeah, beside, besides
• 30:13
  that, like the, I thought the events were sick.
• 30:15
  They were, they were freaking hard.
• 30:18
  You know, I'm curious when they'll go back to like more
• 30:21
  than 10 events for the games, because that's what we had in in
• 30:24
  2024 too, and 2025. And I always remember like, oh,
• 30:28
  the games like 12 to 14 events. So I'm curious like will we go
• 30:31
  back to that or will we keep it at the 10?
• 30:34
  I'm also curious like if we do so many events that all have 10
• 30:38
  plus, like if we go do the games and then the Rogue and then the
• 30:41
  WFP finale, like is that too much?
• 30:44
  Like there's so many questions. I don't feel bad for y'all.
• 30:46
  Y'all ask for it. Dude, I mean I I'm I'm fine I
• 30:50
  think. He's adjusted well.
• 30:54
  He's adjusted his training. Yeah, I'm good.
• 30:56
  I think honestly, the competitions are less hard on me
• 30:59
  than the training. The competitions are fun.
• 31:01
  What's hard on me is like third week on of a hard block when I'm
• 31:04
  in the gym for six hours and I'm training with no one and you
• 31:08
  know, I'm just like, I have nothing left like that.
• 31:11
  That's the hard part of this sport.
• 31:13
  It's not getting to go shine on the floor.
• 31:16
  Sure, there's like sucky moments and you misperform, but like, I
• 31:19
  think the hard part is when you're in the middle of a hard
• 31:21
  training block and it's just you versus you, like you're going to
• 31:25
  get it done, are you going to push that extra mile or are you
• 31:26
  going to get lazy? So for for athletes who are
• 31:29
  coming up like we're talking semifinals, trying to push to
• 31:32
  the games, but maybe like 14th, 15th on the leaderboard like and
• 31:36
  they're doing the WFP. Do you think that that is
• 31:39
  untenable to be able to train, do the WFP, do the game season
• 31:44
  and also get better at the sport?
• 31:47
  Do you think that they can do that?
• 31:49
  Or not. And I think, I think that I
• 31:51
  think that it's tough if you're trying to make it because
• 31:53
  training matters more for those that are at a lower level
• 31:56
  because they have gaps they need to bridge more.
• 31:58
  So like for me, Jason and Alan, we just have small things here
• 32:02
  and there that like we need to fill in and we just need to
• 32:03
  maintain a base. Now, like we were talking about
• 32:05
  this on The Boys interrupted last week that like, you know,
• 32:08
  what's the minimum amount I could train to make the games?
• 32:12
  What's the minimum amount of like I could train to like top
• 32:15
  ten at the games? And I think now for like, you
• 32:18
  know, let's just say the top 10, I think we all have this base
• 32:22
  built up where it's like it's not going to go away as long as
• 32:24
  we train. I'll take two hours a day and
• 32:27
  sleep good and eat good. So like pushing forward now is a
• 32:31
  lot harder to make those gains. For me, it's like I need my
• 32:35
  squat to get better and my pressing to get better.
• 32:37
  For down. It's like still the same story.
• 32:39
  He needs his running and long aerobic sustained fitness.
• 32:42
  For Jason, it's like, I don't know, what is Jason bad at?
• 32:46
  Rollovers. Roll.
• 32:48
  Roll over, pull over. That's it.
• 32:50
  Yeah. Like I think it's.
• 32:51
  I think it's his pulling, his pulling capacity.
• 32:54
  I I think. But like, there's little things
• 32:56
  like little gaps that like, you know, if they get exposed, our
• 32:59
  fitness is going to cover for it.
• 33:00
  We're going to make it there anyway.
• 33:02
  So yeah, I think for someone that is on the bubble of making
• 33:06
  the games, they're better off putting all their energy toward
• 33:09
  going into the games because I think honestly, that's still
• 33:13
  where the sponsorship ecosystem is too.
• 33:15
  Like if you want to make, if you want to make money with
• 33:17
  sponsors, which is one of our main forms of income and ways to
• 33:21
  make it. Like that's still where seems
• 33:24
  most of the sponsors care. You put your time and allocate
• 33:26
  your time. Now that could that could change
• 33:28
  with the next year, I don't know.
• 33:30
  It's just about eyeballs, so the most eyes are on the games.
• 33:33
  Yep, yeah, they are on the games and the WFP, like the going as a
• 33:38
  challenger and trying to make it like if you if you haven't made
• 33:42
  a single dollar with the sport, like that is attractive.
• 33:45
  Being able to like get paid to, you know, over a season and get
• 33:49
  these promises of competing and, you know, getting your your
• 33:52
  trips paid for and your hotels paid for.
• 33:54
  Like that's, that's really cool. Like I think only the Rogue does
• 33:57
  that and you know, so that that's that's something cool if
• 34:01
  you want to compete more. But if you're like, I want to be
• 34:04
  the best Games athlete, like, you know, it's probably your
• 34:07
  best bet to train hard and skip the other ones and just go for
• 34:11
  the games. Now I've I've let me pick your
• 34:14
  brain, OK? Yeah, let's do it.
• 34:16
  You know Tor stop 1/20/26 was suggested to be during the same
• 34:21
  time as quarterfinals, right? Yes, it suggested.
• 34:25
  But like we don't know they're changing that.
• 34:27
  They're, they're changing it because they know that like,
• 34:31
  like they don't want to interfere with CrossFit, it
• 34:33
  seems. I really don't think Will wants
• 34:35
  to. I don't, I don't think I don't,
• 34:36
  I, well, I disagree with that. But you know, you know him
• 34:39
  better than you know him better than I do.
• 34:40
  So I'll take your word for it. But I do disagree.
• 34:42
  I don't know him at all though. Never spoken a word to him.
• 34:44
  So but I think it's smart for them to move it.
• 34:48
  I think at some point though, whether that's it's, you know, 2
• 34:54
  years from now or whatever, they're not going to move it.
• 34:56
  And then this is where like they draw their line in the sand.
• 35:00
  And do you think, do you think the WFP almost hurts those guys
• 35:07
  trying to break in? Like you just said, you can't do
• 35:10
  it all and train and still improve, right?
• 35:12
  And I think we all. Agree.
• 35:12
  Yeah, you can't prove it as quick of a rate like I think you
• 35:14
  can still improve and do every competition.
• 35:16
  You're not going to all of a sudden beat you though.
• 35:19
  Yeah, I don't I I mean the answer.
• 35:21
  Is no, James, No, they're not. No, the times I got my best and
• 35:25
  saw the best results were when I stayed at home.
• 35:28
  I slept and ate this same way for months on end.
• 35:31
  And I had a religious training routine.
• 35:33
  Like, yeah, traveling and going and competing knocks you out of
• 35:36
  that routine. So like, yeah, the answer is
• 35:38
  don't do that if you want to be the best.
• 35:40
  But once you've made it, I believe it's like, oh man, like
• 35:44
  I just have to maintain this training base and, you know,
• 35:46
  keep filling in these holes a little slower maybe.
• 35:48
  But like, I'm really not worried about like my, my ability to do
• 35:54
  well at machines and my ability to do muscle ups and snatch.
• 35:58
  Like, I'm not worried about that going away anymore because it's
• 36:00
  already in a pretty good spot so.
• 36:02
  I know you're not. I think it incentivizes the
• 36:05
  people that are a step below you to not improve.
• 36:09
  It incentivizes them with money. Yeah, I mean the money like.
• 36:13
  It basically just keeps you on top.
• 36:15
  Go look at it. I'm a top earner for the season
• 36:18
  and I've had two events that I've like had to give my
• 36:21
  everything to right. Like I'm working my butt off at
• 36:23
  both those tours and I've made 50 grand from the year at WFP.
• 36:27
  Like that's the same as getting 3rd at the games.
• 36:30
  Like it's and I'm the top earner right now.
• 36:32
  So, you know, it's not like I don't think people are looking
• 36:36
  at the money is like, oh, that's life changing.
• 36:38
  They're looking at it's like, oh, it's, it's there's some
• 36:40
  guarantees in there. And that's, that's like taking
• 36:44
  people's headspace like, oh, it's guaranteed to me.
• 36:47
  I'm like, I never looked at that guarantee in the contract.
• 36:49
  And I was like, you know that that doesn't mean anything.
• 36:52
  Cuz I know I'm gonna exceed that.
• 36:53
  I know I'm gonna, I know I'm gonna go do better at these
• 36:54
  competitions. But the people that maybe don't
• 36:56
  believe in themselves as much, you're right.
• 36:58
  Like they're gonna, maybe that incentivizes them to just step
• 37:00
  out there and get on the floor cuz they're gonna get something.
• 37:03
  But to me I'm like, I don't, I don't care what that number says
• 37:06
  cuz I'm gonna go beat that anyway.
• 37:09
  Yeah. So the title of fittest on Earth
• 37:11
  is more important to you. Yes, yes, it's still very and
• 37:15
  I'm the leader this coming from like I'm winning the league
• 37:17
  right now and and like I think that's awesome.
• 37:20
  I want to go win. I want to win every time I step
• 37:22
  out on the floor, no matter who's there or what, what's at
• 37:25
  stake. Like I want to win, but winning
• 37:27
  the crossing games is still like, you know, that's why I
• 37:31
  trained my butt off. To, to follow up that if they
• 37:35
  went exclusive and they're not going to, but if they went
• 37:38
  exclusive, how many of the top ten men and women would go to
• 37:44
  the CrossFit Games and how many would go to WFP?
• 37:47
  And let's say, let's say they offer 100,000, let's say they
• 37:50
  kick it up and it's 100,000 guaranteed.
• 37:52
  To go to four events over the year.
• 37:54
  Sure. Yeah, we have to do it.
• 37:57
  Well, I'm just In your opinion, 20 people, top ten guys, top ten
• 38:00
  girls, How many go to the CrossFit Games to fight for the
• 38:04
  title? The fittest man and woman on
• 38:05
  earth or guaranteed money. Yeah, if you're talking, if
• 38:08
  you're talking 100 grand, guaranteed.
• 38:10
  Which I don't, I don't have. I don't lose sleep at all.
• 38:13
  Well, I mean, you all do what you want.
• 38:14
  Don't lose sleep, whatever y'all.
• 38:15
  But I believe you, Gallon Jason, like I don't y'all.
• 38:20
  Y'all are fine. I don't worry about y'all.
• 38:22
  Yeah, but just how many of the top ten, I would say, I would
• 38:25
  say 70% would stay at the games and then 30%.
• 38:29
  So like 7-7 guys, 7 girls would stay with the games because
• 38:32
  they, I think there's actually 7 people who believe they're going
• 38:35
  to win the crossword games. Like I, I like that's where I'm
• 38:38
  getting that number from. That's what it looked.
• 38:40
  Like this year I gotcha and then, OK, so who are those 3?
• 38:44
  In the top ten, I mean. Go ahead.
• 38:48
  No, if you want, let him go, Tyler.
• 38:51
  I, you know, I honestly. I'll help you out.
• 38:53
  I'll help you out. First one's Jeff next.
• 38:57
  Go ahead, James. Wait, you think you think Jeff
• 38:59
  would go to WP? 100% Really.
• 39:03
  I don't think so, John. I don't know.
• 39:04
  I don't know Jeff well enough to say that.
• 39:06
  Like I think that he's. Still, I don't know Jeff at all.
• 39:08
  Never spoken word, but do not think Jeff.
• 39:11
  Thinks he can win. I think Jeff thinks he can win.
• 39:13
  I got some bad vibes from this one man.
• 39:16
  From the games, yeah, yeah, I mean that's one year too, like
• 39:20
  I, I mean. And then the year he won, it was
• 39:22
  because Roman broke his foot. I mean, how many excuses?
• 39:25
  You know what I mean? Like I just.
• 39:26
  Well, I only won the games because Jeff wasn't there,
• 39:28
  remember? And I don't believe in that.
• 39:32
  I don't believe in Jeff. I'll put it on that.
• 39:34
  Yes, that's. I'm I'm not gonna name names
• 39:38
  with the three, I think. Good idea like.
• 39:41
  I'm I'm gonna, I'm gonna say that there is definitely a
• 39:44
  likelihood that a few would take that bait because it's 100
• 39:48
  grand. Like, yeah, it's 100,000.
• 39:51
  Yeah. Like not not when you buy a home
• 39:53
  and you can pay all your bills and you can feed your pup and
• 39:56
  you know, I just got to show up like.
• 39:58
  Oh, I get it. Yeah, but I also think if they
• 40:01
  make the minimum that high, like the guaranteed minimum, then
• 40:04
  you're just incentivizing people to show up and not compete hard.
• 40:06
  Like the minimums aren't high enough, from my understanding.
• 40:10
  Like where you're like, aw Dang, like I just got to show up.
• 40:13
  Like I think everyone still wants to fight for the best.
• 40:16
  Check that. It's not really 100 grand
• 40:19
  though. It's 6666666.
• 40:22
  Are you after taxes? It depends on where you live 30.
• 40:26
  3% plus, yeah, whatever your state is.
• 40:29
  Europe doesn't do taxes. Or you could just evade all
• 40:31
  taxes and like not pay. Them that that's true, I would
• 40:34
  prefer to be paid in doge. I so I Yeah.
• 40:37
  And I I'm fine with you dodging the question with the men.
• 40:40
  Those are your enemies. Slash friends.
• 40:42
  You know what I mean? I'm fine with that.
• 40:43
  Let's focus on the women. Who do you think out of the
• 40:45
  women? Would you go?
• 40:48
  People that don't believe in themselves.
• 40:51
  OK, that's fair. Who?
• 40:52
  Who? I think there's less women that
• 40:53
  believe they can win the games than.
• 40:55
  Because there's less women that can.
• 40:57
  Yeah, yeah. I think there's a list of like,
• 41:00
  if Tia's not there, there's like a list of three people who I
• 41:02
  think you can win, and then the guys, I think there's seven.
• 41:04
  So I think that I think that more girls are taking that bait.
• 41:09
  That's a great question. Tyler's convinced Velner's
• 41:13
  coming back and it's hard. It's hard not to root for right?
• 41:17
  And when you said no, I'm not going to lose my fitness, he's a
• 41:19
  great example of that. I got it in gear for like 3
• 41:21
  months now. He's right there in the thick of
• 41:23
  it with you guys. You think he's coming back to
• 41:25
  the games? Coming back to the games.
• 41:28
  Yeah, that's what Tyler's saying he thinks spelling is.
• 41:32
  He's coming back dude. You're you're wrong.
• 41:35
  I mean, I, I would be very happy if he did, but I think the
• 41:39
  reason he's stepping away from the games because he wanted, you
• 41:42
  know, to make a change. It's.
• 41:44
  Funny how things change. I don't know.
• 41:46
  He seemed pretty. He seemed not like he's fine
• 41:49
  with being around Castro. So did.
• 41:51
  I actually I near near Castro. He was near Castro multiple
• 41:55
  times. Lately at the during.
• 41:58
  At the meetings. Yeah, yeah.
• 42:00
  Oh, OK. So that's, that's cool.
• 42:02
  He came there. That that says a lot.
• 42:03
  If you wanted to hear that out and hear what they're doing.
• 42:05
  I mean, you know, that says he wants some kind of involvement.
• 42:08
  So I I respect that. Yeah, well, Jay, what makes you
• 42:11
  think no so hard? I still got 5 more minutes if
• 42:14
  we. Got 5 minutes?
• 42:15
  Let's party. John, keep pushing him.
• 42:17
  I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
• 42:19
  I'm sorry. I.
• 42:19
  Don't get to do this often. This is like this is fun for me.
• 42:22
  So thank you get out of my did you did.
• 42:24
  You hear anything? Did you hear anything from the
• 42:27
  meeting at Tier? No, no, but no.
• 42:30
  I yeah, I I don't, I don't know anything from it.
• 42:33
  They. Shunned you just like.
• 42:35
  I don't believe you weren't cool.
• 42:36
  Enough to be part of it. I got an invite and I was like
• 42:38
  can I can I zoom in? And he said.
• 42:40
  But you got an invite. Yeah, I got an invite to come to
• 42:43
  the meeting, but I obviously wasn't there.
• 42:44
  He he thought I was part of Tiruwaza, so he sent me an
• 42:47
  e-mail. Dave, you.
• 42:50
  Know it was a bummer. He should just put Adidas all up
• 42:55
  in your background. That's what you did.
• 42:58
  I know bro, missed opportunity, missed opportunity.
• 43:00
  But my dad got to represent at at waza, so he had a good time.
• 43:04
  So there was a spray representation there.
• 43:06
  Nice. That's great he went there, huh?
• 43:09
  I know yeah. It was glad he he failed his
• 43:11
  team on the erg shoot. His team was really mad at him
• 43:13
  because he couldn't shoot the he didn't even hit one I heard.
• 43:16
  What did he say about it? I don't know, but I just bought
• 43:19
  1 because I was interested. I was like, I'm going to buy
• 43:21
  one. It's a write off.
• 43:22
  You know, I'm going to see what all the hypes.
• 43:23
  It's a write off, yeah, but dude, these things are
• 43:27
  expensive. Right they are.
• 43:28
  It's 1000 bucks for a a gun and a.
• 43:31
  Serious. More.
• 43:32
  More than that, dude. It's like that's more expensive
• 43:34
  than a real gun. Yeah.
• 43:37
  Well, you're considering rounds like how many?
• 43:39
  Like you can shoot that thing a bunch of times and not spend
• 43:42
  anything on ammunition is the is the difference.
• 43:45
  So you'll say even that, But yeah, I'd just rather buy an
• 43:49
  actual gun. Yeah, for sure.
• 43:51
  I mean, you can't shoot an actual gun in a gym.
• 43:53
  That's the only bummer you have to go.
• 43:54
  To the range you can. You.
• 43:57
  You can, James, I'll. Bring Frank.
• 44:00
  Did you discharge A firearm next to a school in a gym?
• 44:04
  No. No, I have no.
• 44:05
  Idea what you're talking about. You have the freedom do anything
• 44:08
  you want. Now there's consequences to your
• 44:10
  freedoms. There you.
• 44:12
  Go I I actually was like, can I bring this erg shoot thing in
• 44:15
  here because the kids are watching me through the window
• 44:17
  shoot a pistol and I'm like, are they going to get a bad like,
• 44:20
  oh, you know, James is shooting So so we should you know,
• 44:24
  firearm too. Like I'm like, I don't want that
• 44:27
  to look bad. So maybe I'll just do it out of
• 44:29
  my. Just laser tag.
• 44:30
  Just say it's laser tag. Yeah, it's just lasers.
• 44:33
  Yeah, Laser. Bags what it is.
• 44:35
  Nerf guns. Nerf guns were a thing growing

• 46:44
  Like we're going to get smoke and something.
• 46:46
  We're good, and then we'll do some.
• 46:49
  Work. That'll be good.
• 46:50
  We might win if we don't do the urge shoot.
• 46:52
  Thanks dude. OK boys, I will.
• 46:55
  Talk to you soon, thanks for having me.
• 46:57
  Thank you. Bye.
• 47:02
  All right. Mode Classic. 20s shoot.
• 47:04
  Shoot, don't follow that follow mode.
• 47:06
  Classic. 20s hey 511 there we go we're.
• 47:10
  Starting to get there. We're starting to get there.
• 47:11
  That's much better. Dude my dad has like a gun
• 47:16
  closet. Gun closet.
• 47:19
  Like it like a John Wick type like setup.
• 47:22
  So like like like so many guns you like you would it's like
• 47:27
  walk in hallway. Because it doesn't actually
• 47:31
  translate to real firearms. So that's good.
• 47:37
  Yeah, Motor Classic sounds pretty cool.
• 47:39
  November 13th, the 17th online qualifier.
• 47:45
  I guess we should get to the rest of the show.
• 47:47
  Viewer comments. We got some good ones I think at
• 47:52
  NJSB Construction. I could be dead wrong, but since
• 47:57
  Guy made that ridiculous post about someone needs to buy him a
• 48:01
  bicycle earlier this year, every time he opens his mouth I think
• 48:05
  he sounds like an arrogant, whiny baby.
• 48:10
  Me too. Weird.
• 48:11
  Yeah, I thought you. Were going to be wrong, but you
• 48:12
  weren't. At Vidal Para I didn't see
• 48:18
  anyone bash the tier Wazza for their bad lighting.
• 48:23
  Because it wasn't bad. John was right, you all have
• 48:26
  something against WFP. OK, but we it wasn't bad
• 48:31
  lighting. I think it was better than WFP
• 48:36
  last year. Was trash last year.
• 48:39
  Was. Garbage and we called it out
• 48:40
  during during the spin cast. I don't think I had any issues
• 48:46
  with the lighting of it right. No, I think that I I think I
• 48:52
  fall in line with the PFA that it's dangerous and all the
• 48:56
  slippery surfaces that they need to be careful for.
• 48:58
  But that's luckily we've not had to worry about it at Chelsea
• 49:03
  Miller. I love the show, you got fun to
• 49:08
  listen to and are knowledgeable. But I do agree please mute the
• 49:15
  mic while eating. Thank you for doing the spin
• 49:18
  cast. Sorry, not sorry.
• 49:21
  Get over it. It's part of the, it's part of
• 49:24
  the experience here at the spin cast.
• 49:26
  This one's for you, Tyler. We're going back to NJSB
• 49:30
  construction. I think Alexis Wrap this needs a
• 49:35
  change of scenery. Maybe time to get with Brute.
• 49:38
  Sometimes you have to be a little selfish.
• 49:44
  I don't know how to comment on that.
• 49:45
  Maybe, maybe not. I think I think she's got a good
• 49:50
  setup in Indianapolis. I think the vault like the
• 49:54
  volume of the seasons getting to her, when you get one injury and
• 49:59
  you don't take quite a bit of time off and it's like it's a
• 50:02
  big deal injury, it'll get you. But was it?
• 50:05
  Her back though, or was it like sounded like she had like a 24
• 50:09
  hour stomach bug or stomach could.
• 50:11
  Have been that whatever it is, I don't, I'm not going to like say
• 50:17
  she needs to go to Brute. I think she's been working to
• 50:20
  set her life up pretty decent. So yeah.
• 50:25
  You just, you can't criticize TTT, right Tyler?
• 50:28
  It's got nothing to do with TTT. It's fully Alexis, I think.
• 50:33
  I don't know, I just, I think something always happens to her,
• 50:37
  like always. I don't, I don't think a change
• 50:39
  of scenery would be be too bad of an idea.
• 50:43
  But, you know, if she likes where she's at, there's no, you
• 50:47
  know, there's no point in changing either, you know?
• 50:50
  I don't think you can make a determination on where she is
• 50:55
  based on this season. I think she should change how
• 50:58
  she trains. Why?
• 51:03
  Because something always freaking happens to her.
• 51:07
  So like if she's over trained going into a competition she
• 51:10
  gets hurt or if she's not meal prepping the right way.
• 51:14
  And honestly she probably does all this stuff great but somehow
• 51:19
  something you need to try something different for
• 51:21
  something not to happen. Like just to have a smooth run.
• 51:27
  Bill told me to go back up loud. Live sports is watching.
• 51:31
  The truth is you decline the invite, James.
• 51:33
  Why is nobody telling that story?
• 51:35
  Oh, he didn't say that. He said something, James.
• 51:40
  Or us. Well, if it's us, I didn't have
• 51:44
  a hand in it 'cause I don't know, I don't know anything, I
• 51:46
  don't know anything. Shuffled that off real.
• 51:50
  Quick, I mean. I don't know same as them I am.
• 51:56
  So I have no idea. That's always a bad wolf.
• 52:01
  You guys are so silly. Work out too.
• 52:03
  The erg shoot was not hard to understand.
• 52:06
  Y'all just never stop talking. They just shoot waterfall style
• 52:11
  until the team reached 20 shots. Since Dylan is listening, it was
• 52:17
  utterly confusing. I I could not disagree with him.
• 52:21
  We we did talk a lot, but we only talked.
• 52:24
  Upgraded from trash to mediocre, improved and they met the PFA
• 52:28
  lighting standard. So they have a standard.
• 52:31
  For lighting, Dylan, with all due respect, I know I've not
• 52:35
  talked to you either. I I just keep talking about
• 52:37
  people that I haven't talked to. I thought Wadapalooza soak out
• 52:41
  was a great event. We had fun watching it.
• 52:43
  We had fun talking about it. We had fun last year.
• 52:45
  I think it is a hit. It is.
• 52:48
  I can't like every year I'm I look forward to it and I think
• 52:52
  it's only going to grow and get bigger and it's awesome.
• 52:54
  That being said, the erg shoot event was one of the worst
• 52:59
  things I've ever seen. OK, I would have can it.
• 53:02
  I would have can it to strong woman.
• 53:04
  So you go watch the strong women, the whole Invitational,
• 53:09
  and then that's a different kind of bad.
• 53:11
  That's the fun that we had watching that.
• 53:14
  It was it was at the five yard line like.
• 53:17
  I would say we had more fun watching strong women than the
• 53:20
  Urge shoot competition. Probably because there are noses
• 53:22
  that are bleeding. I mean, I have them play
• 53:24
  literally let laser tag. I actually thought Dylan.
• 53:27
  I think you should just make him play tag.
• 53:29
  Take no through. A playground.
• 53:31
  Throw a playground like the tag World Championships.
• 53:34
  Everybody would be entertained by that.
• 53:36
  This is. A great idea.
• 53:37
  No, No downsides. At all or not.
• 53:40
  Have fun watching that. Well, for sure.
• 53:43
  Would have fun watching it. They wouldn't do it.
• 53:45
  Why then they would lose? One team's losing because one
• 53:49
  team would do it. That's right, everybody loves
• 53:51
  some good cornhole. That's true.
• 53:53
  No, I think, I think Tyler's right.
• 53:55
  They're on the 5 yard line they had making it so you actually
• 53:59
  could see it. They have to like tie it into
• 54:01
  better lighting you couldn't see.
• 54:02
  It they made it a huge. Like green light I.
• 54:05
  Agree. Maybe the five yard line on the
• 54:06
  other side. It was dark for the athletes to
• 54:08
  be able to see what they were actually shooting at.
• 54:11
  And then they needed to do something that was a little bit
• 54:13
  more consequent, consequential for that, right?
• 54:18
  Like it was just, oh, you missed, OK, cool.
• 54:20
  Next one up, try it. Like, you know, dump some type
• 54:23
  of penalty or something at Elizabeth Daws Kim, I don't
• 54:30
  know, Love it when you stick to CrossFit content and avoid
• 54:34
  political content. You're welcome, I guess.
• 54:38
  Cool. At Abstract Genius comments,
• 54:42
  he's genius. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
• 54:45
  Abstract genius is one of those negative every time people.
• 54:48
  So I'm going to guess that this is a negative comment because
• 54:52
  he's just like the correct guy. He does.
• 54:54
  All he does is just say negative things every show, no matter
• 54:59
  what. Please tell me it's good.
• 55:01
  This will be great. It's for Tyler Stick.
• 55:05
  With me. With that being said.
• 55:08
  If you want to limit women's rights over their own violence.
• 55:12
  What are you? Talking about oh man without on
• 55:17
  a ledge. Put taxpaying people on camps.
• 55:22
  OK. Support religion over science.
• 55:25
  OK. Choose guns over children's
• 55:28
  safety. OK.
• 55:29
  Think comedians are a threat to freedom of speech and that we
• 55:35
  should mourn Magda Goebbels since she made a good strudel
• 55:41
  and had five kids. You're not a good person, Tyler.
• 55:47
  That was pulled out of thin air. What is she talking about?
• 55:51
  And listen, I want, I want you to take that to heart.
• 55:54
  Abstract genius usually like he's he's just dead on always
• 55:58
  like whatever he says. I couldn't agree more.
• 56:01
  Yeah. You take that to heart for sure.
• 56:03
  I cannot think of whatever they're referencing that I
• 56:06
  talked about women's rights or what what is happening.
• 56:13
  I didn't talk about garbles either.
• 56:15
  I. First of all, sorry, Elizabeth
• 56:18
  Dawkins. We're talking about politics,
• 56:19
  but actually abstract genius brought us there.
• 56:22
  I don't know what's going on. Dude, I, you know the Billy
• 56:25
  Madison thing where it's like under no circumstance did you
• 56:29
  say anything that was incredible or in any we're.
• 56:33
  All, in fact, dumb. Correct, and we're all more
• 56:35
  stupid for having listened to it.
• 56:37
  That's how I feel. About it, I don't even know what
• 56:39
  politics we talked about last. Year.
• 56:40
  Yeah, Here we go. Here we go, Magnus.
• 56:47
  Let's see. And Megan BF, maybe you should
• 56:51
  start talking about the genocide in Gaza.
• 56:54
  I don't even know what's going on in the comments anymore.
• 56:55
  But anyway, just keep dropping them in the comments.
• 56:58
  We'll read them off, it doesn't matter.
• 56:59
  If they're we're just going to start a new show like.
• 57:03
  Might as well. When have we ever talked?
• 57:06
  This is a sports show, people. Yeah, well, I.
• 57:08
  Started with John talking about Charlie Kirk the day.
• 57:11
  Are they still upset about me talking?
• 57:13
  About it's a different, it's a different show, so I don't even
• 57:15
  know what's going on, but that's where everybody started getting
• 57:18
  upset. If it upsets you this much
• 57:20
  people, then you need to watch a different show. 100%.
• 57:28
  Mason Griffin, I thought you should be busy texting Trista.
• 57:33
  I don't know why you're in our chat but appreciate it.
• 57:38
  Dude, if I hear one more political deal, I'm going to put
• 57:43
  a, I'm going to put a Israeli flag in my background and just
• 57:47
  see what happens and just see what happens.
• 57:51
  Well done Dylan. That's good shit.
• 57:54
  Joe B499 showed up late. Rewinding now LMAO.
• 57:59
  You guys rule DB sucks just so everybody.
• 58:02
  Knows what did What did Danielle do?
• 58:05
  I know Danielle was great this week.
• 58:08
  I guess Jules didn't gift you a membership, maybe that'll
• 58:10
  change. Here might be it Crossfat Grant
• 58:14
  made loud live sports. I could see it.
• 58:18
  I could see it. Let's review the TFX workouts,
• 58:21
  no? We're all we're all doing it.
• 58:25
  So that's. Why?
• 58:28
  That's why I know we, we were, you know, if you guys didn't
• 58:30
  watch us. That's funny, no?
• 58:32
  If you guys didn't watch us do the spin cast, first of all,
• 58:35
  shame on you. Second of all, Watapulsa.
• 58:39
  Watapulsa. Watapulsa is now the official
• 58:41
  name going forward. It is not Tierrawatapalooza,
• 58:45
  sorry. After sitting back on it.
• 58:51
  And John, I know you like it. Tyler, do you enjoy?
• 58:54
  Watching Yeah I. The water poles.
• 58:57
  I would agree with John, like I had a lot of fun doing the show.
• 59:01
  Like we stayed up late and I felt like shit on Sunday for
• 59:05
  sure. It was later for you because
• 59:07
  you're on Eastern. Time.
• 59:08
  Yeah, dude, ending and getting in bed at like 1:00, That was
• 59:11
  tough, but I still had a shit ton of fun doing it.
• 59:16
  Would do it every single time. It's a cool competition.
• 59:20
  It's different. I do.
• 59:25
  Would you like to see anything different?
• 59:26
  Like would you rather see, do you like the North America
• 59:30
  versus world? Would you rather see it an extra
• 59:33
  team? If you did, how would you do
• 59:35
  that? I so things that would change
• 59:38
  logistically, I would add at least one more, if not two more
• 59:41
  teams. I know bodies might get a little
• 59:45
  tough and then like they pay out a certain way and they might
• 59:49
  want to keep it lower just for that to reduce cost.
• 59:52
  But I would add at minimum another team.
• 59:55
  And then the scoring's a little weird.
• 59:57
  Like, of course, I'm going to talk about this, but getting
• 1:00:01
  points for an event just for finishing versus like being
• 1:00:04
  within a certain distance and like Bill and I were talking
• 1:00:06
  about how would you score that or whatever?
• 1:00:09
  I, I, I'm not sure, but like that, those are little tweaks
• 1:00:12
  that I would make. I think adding a third team
• 1:00:14
  would just make it way more interesting.
• 1:00:17
  Yeah, I would say. A spin team.
• 1:00:19
  It's a. Huge.
• 1:00:20
  It's a yeah. Well, definitely for that for
• 1:00:22
  sure. Just let us pick those who get
• 1:00:25
  shunned. Yeah.
• 1:00:30
  They put a huge risk I think on having two teams now.
• 1:00:35
  Yeah, that was evident in the last event.
• 1:00:38
  You know, it's just there, there there could be a chance at some
• 1:00:42
  point in the year where it's like, you know, down the road,
• 1:00:45
  one team just dominates the other.
• 1:00:47
  Next thing you know, Sunday sucks.
• 1:00:49
  Yeah. Like there's no point in even
• 1:00:51
  doing it. I think three teams probably
• 1:00:54
  eliminates that some. I don't.
• 1:00:57
  I think I'd like to do 3 at most.
• 1:01:02
  I don't know how. Yeah.
• 1:01:02
  I don't think you can keep it region based.
• 1:01:03
  So if you do that. If you do three teams, you could
• 1:01:08
  do the spin team. If you did three teams.
• 1:01:11
  I think there should be some sort of lineage to the team,
• 1:01:16
  like this whole North America thing.
• 1:01:17
  I mean, Brent was on World last. Year.
• 1:01:20
  Last year was weird though. Too.
• 1:01:21
  Yeah, last year was weird. Would you?
• 1:01:24
  Try to make it like the Invitational.
• 1:01:29
  Meaning. The old.
• 1:01:30
  Invitational 4. Oh, the old.
• 1:01:32
  Only have 4 athletes though too right?
• 1:01:34
  Right. But it's three teams of 8
• 1:01:36
  instead of four teams of four. But I mean like you can just.
• 1:01:40
  Divide them. I do like the three teams of
• 1:01:42
  eight. I just don't know how you would
• 1:01:44
  break it up into geographies if you do that.
• 1:01:47
  Right, I don't like I know that they they won't ever do this,
• 1:01:52
  but like a camp style thing or I don't know if you do East West.
• 1:01:56
  Camps that do that? How many camps have 8 athletes?
• 1:01:59
  That are That's true. There's proven Mayhem and Brute.
• 1:02:03
  I don't think Mayhem didn't. Mayhem wouldn't have a good
• 1:02:06
  team. Yeah.
• 1:02:08
  No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't do camps.
• 1:02:11
  I think I would go. I would go Europe, North America
• 1:02:19
  and then Oceania. Yeah, Europe, North America and
• 1:02:25
  world essentially, but it's just Oceana.
• 1:02:28
  Now you could say world, but. But what do you do with Guy He.
• 1:02:31
  He doesn't come. South America just gets just
• 1:02:35
  gets axed. But I don't think you should do
• 1:02:38
  North America, Europe and then World, right?
• 1:02:42
  Or you could do well, you, you know what, here's here's what I
• 1:02:44
  think you could do. You could do North America,
• 1:02:47
  Europe and then miscellaneous, meaning the people and and like
• 1:02:54
  or or team. Miscellaneous.
• 1:02:56
  The Leftovers or, or like you could whatever, like we can come
• 1:03:00
  up with a better name for it. But like, for instance, like
• 1:03:03
  like James, James would be on that team.
• 1:03:05
  Austin would be on that team. Like, Gee, could be on that
• 1:03:08
  team. Obviously the Oceania people,
• 1:03:11
  right? Just just people, people who
• 1:03:15
  aren't on. I mean, I don't think they'll
• 1:03:16
  beat North America, man. They had everybody to pick from.
• 1:03:20
  Now, they didn't beat North America and you're taking all
• 1:03:26
  the Europeans away, You know what I mean?
• 1:03:28
  So Emma Tall, Amy Kringle, Manuel Likai probably, you know,
• 1:03:38
  but you're taking their machine girls that are great, you're
• 1:03:41
  taking them away. North America, Europe, Southern.
• 1:03:46
  And Tia. And Tia is about to be and Tia
• 1:03:49
  is about to be done. You know what I mean true, but
• 1:03:53
  and when I and I like we we need it have a better name for it,
• 1:03:57
  but I want like the other team to have like like Austin
• 1:04:00
  Hatfield like these people weren't good enough to be on
• 1:04:03
  North America the. Replacements.
• 1:04:04
  Rather replacements maybe, but then you have Oceania with it,
• 1:04:08
  right? Right.
• 1:04:11
  And then when the replacements win, if they win, then they
• 1:04:17
  should be like. I don't know, they should be
• 1:04:20
  able to change the format. It's a.
• 1:04:21
  Good way to do it you could like because it's brought to you by
• 1:04:25
  it has been brought to you by tier and so you could have a
• 1:04:31
  third team buy in essentially like hey, you bring your own
• 1:04:35
  sponsor like that we will allow a.
• 1:04:37
  Sponsor wild card. It's a wild team.
• 1:04:39
  Foxcatcher sort of situation. Oh, I like that.
• 1:04:42
  Yeah, what if it was brand based, if Tier was able to bring
• 1:04:46
  a team? I don't like you.
• 1:04:48
  Just could bring a Team I. Don't like that?
• 1:04:50
  I wonder if the brands would do that.
• 1:04:52
  I think it's too hard to follow. The best thing to do spin is the
• 1:04:57
  draft. But the but the brands could
• 1:04:59
  bring like they could buy in yeah, buy into it.
• 1:05:03
  Hey, it's another revenue stream, right.
• 1:05:05
  So like. But like is rad.
• 1:05:06
  Going to want to share with fucking Tear, you know what I'm
• 1:05:10
  saying? Has has Dylan heard our draft
• 1:05:12
  idea? Yes.
• 1:05:16
  He had OK and he didn't he didn't care for it.
• 1:05:18
  I. Mean I, I think, I think tier
• 1:05:20
  had some something to say about that.
• 1:05:23
  Format because I think you could do brands like you're saying but
• 1:05:27
  they just pick 3 captains and then it doesn't matter who the
• 1:05:30
  rest of the people are. If it's team tier and you have
• 1:05:33
  freaking I I I hate the brand idea then dude like I I.
• 1:05:38
  This team Adidas is. Like.
• 1:05:40
  We're not going to draft a tier athlete.
• 1:05:42
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but like, I mean, Rogue
• 1:05:44
  could buy in like basically almost like a sponsorship type
• 1:05:47
  thing where you limit it to like 4 people, four teams or
• 1:05:50
  something like that. And it's like.
• 1:05:52
  The draft would be so cool though man.
• 1:05:54
  Yeah. Oh 100% agree.
• 1:05:56
  That'd be great, but. I don't know what you got to do
• 1:05:58
  to get another team, but you need another team.
• 1:06:01
  Yeah, I would do that. But yeah, Patrick, draft like
• 1:06:06
  Fit Fest did that one year, except we actually have to make
• 1:06:09
  it public and not just like, oh, we drafted some people.
• 1:06:13
  And to have a live stream that. Happened in the past.
• 1:06:18
  Yeah. I I hope it continues.
• 1:06:19
  I think it's an All Star game. It's an exhibition.
• 1:06:22
  It's fun, it's different. It's not the same old thing of
• 1:06:27
  the same athletes fighting, competing.
• 1:06:30
  I don't think they were that beat up over from the weekend.
• 1:06:34
  No. Maybe to you.
• 1:06:37
  Yeah, hey, see, like Dylan, what if Spin, Tyler and JY are each
• 1:06:40
  coaches and draft the team? Great.
• 1:06:42
  An idea. Great.
• 1:06:43
  Idea Dylan, don't tease me, man. Don't like 'cause then I'm I'm
• 1:06:47
  going to be let down if you don't do that.
• 1:06:49
  Media team. And we could be the coaches and
• 1:06:53
  dude, oh man. And everyone knows I'm the best
• 1:06:56
  coach. Listen, do you know how much,
• 1:06:58
  like how much it would be replayed on Instagram?
• 1:07:01
  When I say Tia, you sucked, I don't want to hear you talk.
• 1:07:05
  And then she pops you in the mouth.
• 1:07:08
  That but yeah, but that would make great coverage, right?
• 1:07:12
  Right. I'm like, hey, I'm like, hey, we
• 1:07:13
  don't need the pep talk from last place on Necco on Fran.
• 1:07:16
  We're going to get it together. We're not going to get a you
• 1:07:18
  know what? You take a seat, Tia, I know
• 1:07:20
  you're the GOAT, but you've been bad today.
• 1:07:24
  OK, so take a seat. Coach test All three go head to
• 1:07:28
  head worth double points. I'm I'm already getting fit for
• 1:07:32
  quarterfinals. Let's let's rock it.
• 1:07:35
  You're trying to get that top 25%, aren't you?
• 1:07:37
  Tyler's team, I'm not responsible for the picks for
• 1:07:43
  people to go in. That's true.
• 1:07:46
  So I'm. More of a a motivational coach,
• 1:07:48
  you know, like offensive line sort of situation.
• 1:07:51
  Yeah. And of course, who knows what
• 1:07:54
  happens next year with here Watapalooza Miami or my
• 1:07:58
  Watapalooza Miami or Miami Beach or what.
• 1:08:01
  Pools. Pools.
• 1:08:04
  We'll see how that all plays out, but I think it's time for
• 1:08:09
  some blind rankings. Before we do this, by the way,
• 1:08:12
  Tia, I don't want you to be mad at me for saying that I think
• 1:08:15
  you're great. I like team proving you just
• 1:08:18
  weren't. You weren't great at there,
• 1:08:21
  there. You weren't great.
• 1:08:22
  But I I don't, don't be mad at me for a second.
• 1:08:25
  I think you can't. I guess going back, sticking
• 1:08:30
  with that, I really think she didn't compete, like she didn't
• 1:08:34
  train for six weeks. Either, well, it's one or the
• 1:08:36
  other, and they're both bad. Well, I guess I'm being
• 1:08:38
  pregnant. It's not bad, but it's one or
• 1:08:41
  the other. Very bad.
• 1:08:43
  I would say the only thing that's weird is that she's not
• 1:08:45
  competing at Rd. Yeah, if she's not pregnant,
• 1:08:55
  like if she's not, if she's not pregnant, I'm like, why would
• 1:08:57
  you not go to Rove? I do stand by, I think as long
• 1:09:01
  as you do the, as long as she does the games, I think she'll
• 1:09:03
  win the games. I think she'll be 44 years old
• 1:09:06
  and still win the games. But you just.
• 1:09:10
  Change. She's not above not training for
• 1:09:12
  it. I wonder if she just kind of
• 1:09:15
  burnt. Maybe.
• 1:09:19
  Like she's like, but think about, she's doing what every
• 1:09:23
  other athlete has always done in the past.
• 1:09:26
  Up until this past year with the Tear Cup, nobody trained for an
• 1:09:31
  entire month. Like they disappeared for an
• 1:09:33
  entire month. Right, she's also a mom.
• 1:09:36
  They'd come back in September and they just do a little stuff.
• 1:09:39
  They they, they didn't do a whole lot.
• 1:09:42
  They just really, until it was training for Rogue, they took us
• 1:09:46
  four to six weeks off of nothing serious.
• 1:09:49
  Do you think they have good pizza in Australia?
• 1:09:52
  I bet they don't, it sounds trash.
• 1:09:53
  No, I Australia doesn't sound like a good pizza place, But
• 1:09:56
  she's also she's also a mom too, like that that if you're taking
• 1:10:01
  like, you know, that takes your time.
• 1:10:02
  You know, Tyler is finding out real quick.
• 1:10:06
  Like all of a sudden Jeanette's real busy, you know, Leslie's
• 1:10:10
  all sad randomly, and I think I've done something.
• 1:10:13
  And no, she's just sad. Like it's just she's just
• 1:10:16
  overwhelmed on that day. Dude kids are crazy man.
• 1:10:19
  Dealing with kids is is a full time and a half job.
• 1:10:22
  Wait till I start. Driving.
• 1:10:24
  We're talking back to you. That's good.
• 1:10:26
  I'll be like, see. Ya, yeah, When they're driving,
• 1:10:28
  I'm like, why don't you go take a ride?
• 1:10:29
  Yeah, don't call me. Don't call me later, yeah.
• 1:10:35
  That happens. I did that.
• 1:10:37
  That happens a lot. All right, blind rankings.
• 1:10:44
  There we go. This week, I think everybody
• 1:10:47
  liked the states last week. We're not going to do states or
• 1:10:50
  cities, but we are going to stay off of the CrossFit topics this
• 1:10:55
  week. Good.
• 1:10:56
  I hate CrossFit. Good.
• 1:10:59
  Crossfat or CrossFit? I think these are much better
• 1:11:01
  with not doing CrossFit because everybody has different opinions
• 1:11:04
  it. Is true.
• 1:11:05
  This time we're going to the food route.
• 1:11:08
  Oh boy, we've already done. Yeah, we've already done fast
• 1:11:12
  food. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:11:16
  So what could it be? Oh, you're.
• 1:11:18
  Doing appetizers, I'm not a big. Appetizer guy.
• 1:11:23
  I will say I'm not a big. But I have big opinions about
• 1:11:29
  when we do appetizers. So like if we're going to go I,
• 1:11:33
  I have very specific ones I hit. We need to appetize correctly.
• 1:11:37
  What? What's like your goat appetizer?
• 1:11:43
  I don't even know what qualifies as an appetizer.
• 1:11:46
  It's the thing you eat before your meal.
• 1:11:47
  Yeah. But usually share with others
• 1:11:50
  Nacho. Chips, Nacho chips.
• 1:11:52
  That's your. You don't get an opinion if
• 1:11:55
  nachos are your. I, I, I, no, I don't, I don't
• 1:11:59
  know, like, like just let me see it and then I'll, I'll tell you.
• 1:12:03
  Oh dude, I've had some fried Pickles before and they were
• 1:12:05
  good. God Dang it, John, fried
• 1:12:09
  Pickles. I'm talking like mozzarella
• 1:12:13
  sticks, the bread they give you at Texas Roadhouse.
• 1:12:18
  OK, I'm good with the. Oh, with the Olive Garden
• 1:12:21
  breadsticks. Yeah.
• 1:12:22
  Blooming onions. Olive, I'm OK.
• 1:12:24
  I'm with you. I'm with you.
• 1:12:26
  Fazoli's had good breadsticks. Those Southwest egg rolls, they
• 1:12:29
  got a. Chili's 25 years some.
• 1:12:31
  Cracker Barrel rolls, Cracker Barrel roll.
• 1:12:34
  No, not the rolls. You gotta get the biscuits, but.
• 1:12:37
  I'm I'm there with you. I'm, I'm with yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:12:39
  yeah, yeah. Has anybody?
• 1:12:39
  Been to Fazoli's in the last like 15 years.
• 1:12:42
  No kills. I'm some.
• 1:12:43
  I'm an old. I'm an old.
• 1:12:46
  You don't say. When did you go to Fazoli's?
• 1:12:52
  It's been a while but I I remember the bread sticks being
• 1:12:56
  really good. We're good.
• 1:12:59
  All right, here we go. This is going to be interesting
• 1:13:03
  since neither of you guys like appetizers.
• 1:13:05
  First one. Chicken wings that a main course
• 1:13:10
  I. Didn't know that was an
• 1:13:11
  appetizer. Yeah, I'm with Tyler.
• 1:13:12
  That's that's a main thing. If they have wings that I
• 1:13:16
  suspect are good, I will order double appetizer wings order.
• 1:13:20
  Just like 20 wings. Yeah.
• 1:13:23
  This is 1 for me if this is if that's what we're talking about.
• 1:13:26
  As an appetizer. It's not an appetizer.
• 1:13:28
  It is an appetizer. Like.
• 1:13:30
  We're going to say ribs is the next appetizer and then steak is
• 1:13:34
  the next appetizer. It's like.
• 1:13:36
  To me it's a three because it's not an ad dude.
• 1:13:38
  It's the best thing that's going to be on this list as far as
• 1:13:41
  like what you want to eat. It's the best thing on this list
• 1:13:44
  if it's going to call it an appetizer, even though we
• 1:13:46
  disagree. If we order 6 to 8 wings, I'm
• 1:13:50
  not sharing them with anyone and so it's not an appetizer for
• 1:13:53
  anybody else but me. It's number one in my opinion.
• 1:13:59
  Fine, we'll give John number one.
• 1:14:01
  We we get screwed on #1 anyway. Because it's the I, I don't
• 1:14:05
  think I'm going to want to eat any of these other things.
• 1:14:08
  And everybody loves chicken wings.
• 1:14:10
  Everybody. Little chicken curds and ranch
• 1:14:14
  cheese curds all. Right.
• 1:14:17
  Well, number one's gone. Last week you went the the
• 1:14:20
  bottom three were first. Yeah.
• 1:14:23
  And we paid dearly. For it, yeah, Georgia should
• 1:14:25
  have been on top of this. I I, I'm, I agree, Tyler.
• 1:14:30
  Here we go, fried calamari. This is a good appetizer. 2.
• 1:14:36
  It's a Yeah 2. It's a meat.
• 1:14:38
  I've had this. I've had this before and I liked
• 1:14:40
  it. Yeah, you don't have it very
• 1:14:42
  often. It's good.
• 1:14:45
  This is the we are, we are, we are connected, Tyler.
• 1:14:49
  It's because we don't like appetizers, all right?
• 1:14:53
  Here we go, mozzarella sticks. 33 if they're good connected
• 1:15:01
  Tyler. I went on.
• 1:15:03
  I don't I don't like mozzarella sticks, but I know a lot of
• 1:15:05
  people do like mozzarella sticks so I'll put it at 3:00.
• 1:15:07
  You can screw them up so easy. So I went to Quaker State two
• 1:15:12
  weeks ago because I've never been.
• 1:15:14
  It's a it's a wing place and they had rotten mozzarella
• 1:15:17
  sticks and I got them and it did not have a good cheese pool.
• 1:15:21
  Like if you're doing mozzarella sticks, you better get that
• 1:15:23
  sucker 4 feet apart before that cheese breaks.
• 1:15:25
  Is the flaker state also like motor oil?
• 1:15:28
  Yeah, OK, Great wings, great wings.
• 1:15:33
  OK. Is that only in college or was
• 1:15:36
  it? State College, State College
• 1:15:39
  I've and they have one in Knoxville, but I, I, I've not
• 1:15:43
  seen very many of them. It must be a Northeast thing.
• 1:15:47
  OK, all right, four and five are left.
• 1:15:50
  What could be better than worse than mozzarella sticks?
• 1:15:55
  Jalapeno poppers. I I think a lot 5 I've.
• 1:16:01
  Never had them. I don't think John likes spicy.
• 1:16:05
  I'm not, I'm not. I'm fine with spicy.
• 1:16:08
  I think a lot of people would rank jalapeno poppers above
• 1:16:12
  mozzarella sticks. Really.
• 1:16:14
  Yeah. OK, I'll leave this to you.
• 1:16:17
  If they have them, Jeanette's getting them every single time.
• 1:16:21
  I've never, I've never had them. They're good, dude.
• 1:16:23
  It's, it's a. It's a, it's a.
• 1:16:25
  Pillars in. They're good as fuck.
• 1:16:27
  See, there you go. Yeah.
• 1:16:30
  So 4, this is under ranked. I think it's essentially A
• 1:16:34
  mozzarella stick with jalapenos. OK.
• 1:16:38
  So you would put it at 3:00? Yeah, I would put it at 3:00.
• 1:16:41
  OK, so we're not messed up that bad.
• 1:16:43
  For the people, I think I would want mozzarella sticks more than
• 1:16:46
  jalapeno poppers, but I think people are probably right on
• 1:16:48
  this one. They're better as an appetizer.
• 1:16:52
  OK Captain Rogers, can we rename this blind rankings as shitty
• 1:16:55
  appetizers? We're going, you know, I mean
• 1:16:58
  straight chili style appetizers. Here that is true.
• 1:17:02
  And the last one, John? Would love this one.
• 1:17:04
  Baby buck. Baby Buck Bridge.
• 1:17:07
  Nachos. Great list here, we really did
• 1:17:12
  well. I'm fine with it man.
• 1:17:13
  This is. Crazy you went one through 5 in
• 1:17:15
  order. Nachos.
• 1:17:20
  So it's salsa. You should get chips and salsa,
• 1:17:23
  not nachos. Oh, I just eat the chips.
• 1:17:25
  I don't. I don't put it in sauce.
• 1:17:27
  Nachos to me to notes. Just eat them dry.
• 1:17:30
  Yeah, I I eat everything dry. I don't put food or anything I
• 1:17:35
  eat every. I don't put sauce on anything.
• 1:17:38
  I eat everything dry. I think nachos denotes cheese to
• 1:17:43
  me. I, I understand what you're
• 1:17:46
  saying and I, I would agree with you.
• 1:17:48
  I think most people do, right? But I, I think that's, I think
• 1:17:55
  that's, I think when you see nachos, you think nachos and
• 1:17:59
  cheese, right? So I'm taking this as nachos and
• 1:18:02
  cheese. See, when I see nachos though,
• 1:18:05
  like Trish is saying, brisket nachos specifically, those are
• 1:18:08
  fancy nachos, like fully loaded nachos.
• 1:18:11
  That's a really good appetizer. All right, cool.
• 1:18:18
  We're done. I'm sorry, it's just, I just
• 1:18:23
  don't have a lot of things to say about appetizers, John.
• 1:18:27
  I understand Bill, that they are an appetizer on a lot of things,
• 1:18:31
  but they're not an appetizer to me.
• 1:18:32
  Wings are a meal. I can eat 20 wings and be happy
• 1:18:37
  with life and nothing else. Not even the celery.
• 1:18:39
  But you order about the appetizer menu.
• 1:18:41
  Just yeah, it's it's it's it's mischaracterized.
• 1:18:47
  All right, Tom Gibson, so JY is officially a psycho.
• 1:18:54
  This is what this is. This is the comment.
• 1:18:57
  Not eating sauce is what drew him to that line.
• 1:19:01
  Oh, I'm sorry, I I don't know how to change my sweet.
• 1:19:05
  Like you don't have a go to sauce that you I thought you
• 1:19:08
  like at McDonald's you. Were like, Oh yeah, yeah.
• 1:19:10
  So I'll put sweet and sour sauce for McDonald's chicken Nuggets,
• 1:19:15
  but every other I I don't put sauce on anything else.
• 1:19:21
  Salad. I don't eat salad.
• 1:19:24
  No. Fair enough.
• 1:19:28
  Ken Walters is smart high ground beef chips.
• 1:19:30
  It's become an app at home. There you go.
• 1:19:33
  Get the protein in all right. Sorry, appetizers was not the
• 1:19:42
  nobody liked the appetizers. I liked it.
• 1:19:45
  It's. Yeah, you know it was.
• 1:19:47
  Exciting. But not all he hits man.
• 1:19:49
  That's fair. Let me try.
• 1:19:53
  What is that? I didn't want that last one, so
• 1:19:59
  I posed a question. There we go.
• 1:20:03
  Why are CrossFit changes to the CrossFit season viewed
• 1:20:09
  negatively? Do do do we view them or why?
• 1:20:19
  I think the public does. I mean, are you asking us
• 1:20:23
  though, do we, what are our views on them or why do people
• 1:20:26
  look? At Well, first of all, why do
• 1:20:27
  people like Should the changes season to season, year to year
• 1:20:33
  be viewed negatively or should we embrace differences?
• 1:20:40
  It, it makes it feel like less of a, I think everybody wants
• 1:20:45
  the sport to be professional and so it makes it feel less
• 1:20:48
  professional if you do that every year.
• 1:20:51
  But that's not like, I just think that's a fallacy, like
• 1:20:53
  that's we don't have a professional sport.
• 1:20:59
  Do you do you have strong feelings on this or not?
• 1:21:03
  I. Well, it just got me thinking
• 1:21:06
  like, why are we when when they change the season, why are
• 1:21:10
  people upset about it? I don't know if they're upset, I
• 1:21:14
  think they're annoyed. So like I I could care less
• 1:21:20
  about like what how it is that how the season where obviously I
• 1:21:23
  have a preference, right And I actually think what we got going
• 1:21:26
  on right now is like really good and you're like we'll see we'll
• 1:21:30
  see what happens. But just from the my viewpoint
• 1:21:34
  of it, I think this is going to be a hit.
• 1:21:38
  But as far as like it changing from year to year, I I'm really
• 1:21:42
  just I'm so indifferent about it.
• 1:21:45
  I get why people are. I do see it is annoying because
• 1:21:48
  you want to know how do you get to the games, right?
• 1:21:50
  And if it changes every single year, like from an outside
• 1:21:55
  perspective, it's hard to make the sport grow a little bit if
• 1:21:57
  they're interested in, oh, the process of it all, like it
• 1:22:01
  changes every year, right. And then like it's a little
• 1:22:04
  confusing, right? So if they didn't change every
• 1:22:08
  year, people like like it gives to the facade of stability of it
• 1:22:14
  just staying the same every year, right?
• 1:22:18
  I know that Jeanette for like 3 years in a row was like a couple
• 1:22:24
  spots out of semifinals because they kept upping the cut every
• 1:22:29
  year. And that was really frustrating
• 1:22:31
  to her. And I understood that because if
• 1:22:33
  like you're training to be that, you know, a semifinals athlete
• 1:22:36
  and it gets taken, the rug gets swept underneath you every time.
• 1:22:40
  That's, that's very frustrating. And then I, I was thinking like
• 1:22:44
  back in the regionals days, it was stable for what, like four
• 1:22:47
  or five years, but the regions would change.
• 1:22:51
  Like the the season was the same but the regions would change or
• 1:22:54
  the number would change. But you.
• 1:22:56
  Know what you're training for. Yeah.
• 1:23:00
  Like it's so I'm not OK here. Here's a good example of why, of
• 1:23:04
  why I think people look at it negatively when it went to the
• 1:23:07
  1% of the Open. I know what the Open is and I'm
• 1:23:12
  like, well, I guess I just am not competing in CrossFit
• 1:23:16
  anymore. Like I don't need to train hard
• 1:23:20
  or I don't need to get super fit to like do the best I can in
• 1:23:23
  quarters, whatever I'm not going to compete with.
• 1:23:25
  Like we'll do the open workouts, but I don't care how fit I am
• 1:23:30
  because the Open's going to test one thing and I'm literally the
• 1:23:35
  worst. It's my worst thing, right?
• 1:23:36
  So it just kind of like took the sales out for me as far as
• 1:23:40
  training goes right now. Obviously you should get, I
• 1:23:43
  should get better at that, right?
• 1:23:45
  But but when you have another level or quarterfinals where
• 1:23:51
  you're going to kind of do harder things, it's fun to see
• 1:23:54
  where you're at in the world. Like it, it makes it more fun
• 1:23:58
  for everybody to see where they're at in the world or, you
• 1:24:01
  know, with your fitness and people can compete, right,
• 1:24:04
  Because the Open's a big catch all and then you and then you
• 1:24:07
  try harder stuff and then you can say, OK, who's actually the
• 1:24:11
  fittest. You just use the quarterfinals
• 1:24:13
  as like an all around test where like what the Open used to be.
• 1:24:17
  I think what the open used to be when it was 5 weeks is what
• 1:24:20
  quarterfinals is now. I'd agree with that real quick.
• 1:24:25
  Brian G $10 JY How much would it take you to do the one chip
• 1:24:32
  challenge prior to the next blind rankings?
• 1:24:35
  More than that. You can't even get the one chip
• 1:24:38
  anymore I don't think. I mean, I've I've.
• 1:24:40
  Didn't didn't James take? It I think James did yeah, I
• 1:24:43
  think James did yeah. I, I don't mind spice, but like
• 1:24:47
  I think that would RIP me apart like it's not worth it so.
• 1:24:51
  Not worth it. One time I want to pull this up
• 1:24:53
  and talk about it really quick. Just a a negative for the sake
• 1:24:57
  of being negative. Great job Pat, you're awesome.
• 1:24:59
  I wish everybody strived to be as good of an athlete as you
• 1:25:02
  were, as you are currently you are.
• 1:25:05
  Yeah, No, are like I just I I'll never be the level that Pat is
• 1:25:09
  at anything. So I'm just it's he's admirable.
• 1:25:13
  So he says, John, you're never serious an athlete if you
• 1:25:15
  literally look at one event, not like it and then give up.
• 1:25:17
  I don't know if I've ever done that.
• 1:25:19
  So that's incredibly false. And I like, I feel like I try to
• 1:25:23
  do stuff that I'm not good at all the time.
• 1:25:26
  But it's not about being serious as an athlete.
• 1:25:29
  That's not, it's about having a goal to train towards, to work
• 1:25:34
  out towards giving you something to make that it's going to make
• 1:25:39
  you want to be fitter. And whenever it's just the top
• 1:25:42
  1% in the open, I was like discouraging, I think for a lot
• 1:25:47
  of people, myself included, because you're not going to be
• 1:25:50
  in the top 1%. Yeah, it gives you less of an
• 1:25:53
  incentive. So you're looking at it from
• 1:25:55
  your perspective. No, but I think a lot of people
• 1:25:58
  share that perspective. OK.
• 1:26:00
  So you think it's more of a personal than it is a spectator
• 1:26:04
  concern? A spectator, yes.
• 1:26:08
  Yeah, it's different than a spectator.
• 1:26:10
  Concern, I mean, or a media Ortega.
• 1:26:13
  It's not bad, but as a media person, the late announcement of
• 1:26:15
  said changes really messes with logistics.
• 1:26:17
  The fact that they announced the structure.
• 1:26:19
  I can plan better and set my calendar now.
• 1:26:22
  Nobody plans their calendar more than two months out.
• 1:26:25
  It's not real. No, that's that's.
• 1:26:27
  Stupid. And people will say, well that's
• 1:26:29
  because they always change everything.
• 1:26:30
  That's it's just not true. You just don't.
• 1:26:33
  It's more annoying than than like negative in my opinion, but
• 1:26:37
  I was giving an example of where I thought the changes were
• 1:26:40
  negative, and that's very anecdotal.
• 1:26:42
  This one got 34 replies. French fries and fitness went
• 1:26:46
  crazy in the comments because no other sport has this level of
• 1:26:50
  inconsistency year in and year out for the qualification
• 1:26:54
  process. If we want to professionalize
• 1:26:57
  the sport, then we need to standardize the process. 56
• 1:27:02
  likes. I told I, I already told you
• 1:27:05
  we're not a professional sport. We're something totally
• 1:27:08
  different. That's why we and if you want
• 1:27:10
  to. Say if we want to.
• 1:27:12
  Yeah, I don't think we want to. That was the thing I brought
• 1:27:16
  that up there in the Chris Beasterfield podcast.
• 1:27:18
  Like, oh, we want to, you know, we want to get these athletes
• 1:27:22
  paid. I don't know that anybody's
• 1:27:25
  asked, like if that's important. Like, yeah, it's cool if you
• 1:27:29
  make money, but like making you a professional athlete only, I
• 1:27:33
  don't know, like a professional CrossFit athlete only.
• 1:27:36
  I don't know that it's more important to have more than like
• 1:27:39
  5 or six of those people every year.
• 1:27:43
  No one ever talks about that, about like, do we actually want
• 1:27:49
  that? Is that important for the
• 1:27:53
  fitness? To professionalize the sport.
• 1:27:55
  Yeah. Can you define professionalize
• 1:28:00
  the sport? It would be that you are a full
• 1:28:02
  time athlete all year. You make a comfortable living
• 1:28:05
  for a What do you mean what's your.
• 1:28:09
  Definition of. A a full time athlete.
• 1:28:12
  A full time athlete is that you just train and you go to events
• 1:28:17
  and I don't know what the dollar amount is like that.
• 1:28:19
  This is where you get him to that bullshit.
• 1:28:21
  It's like, you know, a, a WFP contract is $30,000 a year and
• 1:28:26
  they want to act like they're professionalizing the sport.
• 1:28:28
  And to Pat's comment earlier, 33% is the tax on winnings for
• 1:28:33
  events and stuff like award winnings.
• 1:28:36
  It's a huge tax rate. So they're not going home with
• 1:28:39
  anything close to $30,000 by the end of the year.
• 1:28:42
  That's not that's, that's less professional than what we have
• 1:28:45
  now. I'd rather put my, I'd rather
• 1:28:48
  toss the dice on the games and go to the WFP because there
• 1:28:51
  might be the chance that I'll make more as opposed to making a
• 1:28:54
  measly living there and not getting the viewers.
• 1:28:58
  But anyway, yeah, I think like, I don't know, John said it at
• 1:29:02
  75K, if you want 100K that you're.
• 1:29:06
  Well, but what I'm saying is if you have 15 people that are
• 1:29:09
  professional, then you're not a professional sport.
• 1:29:12
  Right. And I just don't know that that
• 1:29:14
  is important for us as a fitness community to have.
• 1:29:18
  And like, 'cause like in that circumstance, I would say, I, I
• 1:29:22
  agree with that definition, but then like, let's pull it out
• 1:29:28
  bigger. So like where like IF75K is the
• 1:29:31
  number and then what, what now you are a pro athlete.
• 1:29:36
  I think you need like 100 people that qualify for that before
• 1:29:41
  you're like, I made it. I'm a professional Crossfitter.
• 1:29:45
  Does that make sense? And, and I don't think we're
• 1:29:49
  close to that. I, I, I agree with you that I
• 1:29:52
  don't think we're professional. I think we should stop trying to
• 1:29:54
  be professional when we're not big enough to be professional.
• 1:29:58
  Here's the thing, too. It's like, OK, all the athletes
• 1:30:01
  make money essentially off their contract from whatever sports
• 1:30:04
  organization they're with. Let's call it the Chicago Bears.
• 1:30:08
  Those come from TV deals, advertisement deals and all that
• 1:30:11
  stuff. That essentially is because a
• 1:30:14
  lot of people have a lot of eyes on you, right?
• 1:30:16
  And I would say the athletes who are making the most money have
• 1:30:19
  the most eyes on them. Look at Danny like she was crazy
• 1:30:22
  sponsored, right? But she's not like, it's not
• 1:30:26
  because she's a professional athlete.
• 1:30:28
  Like, yeah, she got a lot of attention because she was a
• 1:30:30
  professional, professional athlete.
• 1:30:32
  But it's all the other stuff that doesn't happen on the field
• 1:30:35
  of play because the general public is just never going to
• 1:30:40
  find CrossFit all that entertaining.
• 1:30:44
  So I, I I agree, Mr. Patrick, Patrick says, do we consider
• 1:30:49
  single a baseball players as pros?
• 1:30:50
  I think they're averageably pays around 30.
• 1:30:52
  No, they're minor league players.
• 1:30:54
  You're not a pro. That's why they said make the
• 1:30:57
  big leagues. You're not a pro until you make
• 1:31:01
  the big leagues. It's like I think when you're
• 1:31:06
  our. Big leagues is 30 athletes a
• 1:31:08
  year. Say that again.
• 1:31:12
  This is 3030 women a year. Say that again.
• 1:31:16
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:31:21
  Frustrated. All right, Go, go out.
• 1:31:25
  Go out and come back again and spin like you're Frozen.
• 1:31:27
  You're Frozen. More than Elsa, I think.
• 1:31:33
  I think we're in lockstep, Tyler.
• 1:31:35
  I, I, I don't think there's enough money to even try to be
• 1:31:41
  professional currently. And I hear, I think you're out
• 1:31:44
  of this. I think you're average athlete.
• 1:31:46
  You're average athlete at the Games, 15th place at the games.
• 1:31:49
  OK, If they make they should make more money in competitions
• 1:31:56
  than they do in sponsors to be considered professional because
• 1:32:01
  now the stars get more money sponsored, right?
• 1:32:03
  The stars get more money sponsored.
• 1:32:05
  But like your 10th place, 11th place guy, they make way more
• 1:32:10
  money on their salary the what they make in their actual sport.
• 1:32:15
  For Tyson, for a minute, he's just making pay off payroll.
• 1:32:20
  Even now, though, his contract is much more than any sponsor he
• 1:32:24
  could ever get. He just got a tailored suit
• 1:32:28
  company to sponsor him so. For how much, I don't know.
• 1:32:31
  Is it more than $18 million? Maybe.
• 1:32:34
  All right, you see, you see what I'm saying?
• 1:32:36
  Like I think you're average athlete and right now it's not
• 1:32:39
  the case. Like, I think of something like
• 1:32:40
  a Kyra Milligan. When Kyra Milligan makes more
• 1:32:43
  money in competitions than she does in sponsors, then we're on
• 1:32:49
  our way to professionalism. Right.
• 1:32:51
  If she does, yeah, yeah. But I don't think I think right
• 1:32:55
  now it's the opposite. No, that's what I'm saying.
• 1:32:57
  I think that type of a person should make more money in
• 1:33:01
  competitions to be considered professional.
• 1:33:03
  But Tiger Woods made more money in.
• 1:33:05
  Sponsors, not the stars, not the your average person that
• 1:33:10
  competes in elite competitions. And I just don't.
• 1:33:13
  I don't know. I don't see a world where that's
• 1:33:17
  ever going to be the case, where you have 100 athletes who who
• 1:33:20
  are making more off of competition deals.
• 1:33:23
  Than I definitely don't now. Now I even even if we go back to
• 1:33:27
  2017 levels. No, no, I'm saying for the near
• 1:33:31
  future, I don't see that for any.
• 1:33:34
  Like it would have to grow so much more and so much more money
• 1:33:37
  would have to be put in for it to get to that.
• 1:33:39
  I don't see it from our sport. And maybe not.
• 1:33:42
  Ever. I don't want to say ever, but
• 1:33:46
  not not anytime. When you talk about John, like
• 1:33:49
  it needs to be consistent so that others outside can start to
• 1:33:53
  watch. I don't think that's ever going
• 1:33:56
  to happen. I don't either I I I get what
• 1:33:59
  y'all are saying. Gosh guys you have to listen to
• 1:34:02
  what I'm saying. Not the freaking stars, the
• 1:34:06
  average person that is playing in whatever sport.
• 1:34:10
  Tyson. The 7th man on an NBA roster.
• 1:34:14
  Yeah, Tyson Beijing, the first man off of the bench, yes.
• 1:34:17
  Or in basketball, I'm. Trying to think, I don't know
• 1:34:20
  what the sponsorships are in like the PGA Tour, but like the
• 1:34:22
  60 best, 60th best player on the PGA Tour, it's kind of there's
• 1:34:27
  like 125 that retain their pro cards.
• 1:34:30
  So in the 60s they're they're making I think like $1,000,000
• 1:34:35
  or more a year now at that level, like they're not getting
• 1:34:39
  $1,000,000 in sponsorships. They'll get free balls and.
• 1:34:42
  TaylorMade ain't giving them that.
• 1:34:44
  Yeah, who, who's a, who's a bottom level athlete who's like
• 1:34:48
  recurring for CrossFit? At the games.
• 1:34:52
  At the games like in current, don't use Danny.
• 1:34:55
  I wouldn't. I don't know if it's at the
• 1:34:56
  bottom, but like Afisa Gaffi or she's right in the middle,
• 1:35:01
  middle. But before that she was in the
• 1:35:03
  20s when she had made it a couple to couple times.
• 1:35:08
  Sydney, Michalishian. Yeah, Sydney like.
• 1:35:11
  Carolyn Prevo. Hattie Konyo.
• 1:35:15
  I just don't the the the value. So I think Sevon's take on this
• 1:35:23
  is really good. Like you're, you are given an
• 1:35:25
  opportunity with the all, all the eyes.
• 1:35:26
  Like we have very dedicated eyes in CrossFit, right?
• 1:35:30
  And so at that point, it's on you to create stories and media
• 1:35:35
  on your side so that people want to be involved with you.
• 1:35:37
  And, and Danny's one of those, Kelsey Keel is one of those
• 1:35:41
  where it's just like they they like those people and they want
• 1:35:43
  to follow those people. There is this compulsion that
• 1:35:48
  people have where it's like, I want to get paid to go these
• 1:35:50
  events, but it's like, no, like we don't have that kind of sport
• 1:35:53
  and we're just never going to have it.
• 1:35:55
  It's very niche and that's OK, But you're given an opportunity
• 1:35:58
  to make the most out of it, even if you're going to to just
• 1:36:02
  semifinals. I mean, Mason is like started
• 1:36:06
  down that road where it's like, or Tris is a good example of
• 1:36:10
  this, right where it's like you're you're invested for in
• 1:36:13
  them for the story now. And like you, you start watching
• 1:36:16
  their content, you see who they are, you like them, you start
• 1:36:18
  buying whatever shit they're selling or, you know,
• 1:36:21
  subscribing to their YouTube channel or whatever.
• 1:36:24
  Like that's where the opportunity is.
• 1:36:25
  It's not in the competition take.
• 1:36:28
  Yeah. I mean, I think there's there's
• 1:36:30
  room to grow quote UN quote the sport.
• 1:36:33
  I would say the competitive side of things because there's so
• 1:36:36
  many people that do CrossFit that don't care, but I, I really
• 1:36:44
  think that the you've got to figure out a way to make them
• 1:36:47
  interested in it. Yeah.
• 1:36:51
  And going back years, why did people get invested into it?
• 1:36:56
  Think about how many people took L ones and had Rich or Rich or
• 1:37:01
  Hobart or Miranda as, as their red shirt.
• 1:37:08
  I guarantee you have Miranda as your red shirt.
• 1:37:13
  You're probably rooting for Norcal back in whatever 20. 15
• 1:37:17
  You're probably doing street parking now.
• 1:37:22
  Like you, you rooted for, like you had a connection to it.
• 1:37:26
  There's so few connections points at this point that I
• 1:37:29
  don't. I just don't see that.
• 1:37:33
  And that can turn, I mean, like that's the thing that I focused
• 1:37:36
  on a lot is like, we built our heroes.
• 1:37:37
  We spent a lot of money building the heroes of CrossFit.
• 1:37:41
  We spent a shit load of money and resources on Rich, spent a
• 1:37:44
  shit load of resources and money on Dan Bailey.
• 1:37:46
  And like, they're entertaining characters, which is why we
• 1:37:49
  bought into them. But it's like Miranda, like her
• 1:37:52
  spot in the limelight wasn't like she didn't have nearly as
• 1:37:55
  much as as Rich did, but she made the most of it when she was
• 1:37:58
  in it, right? And that's your opportunity.
• 1:38:02
  People care deeply about this thing.
• 1:38:04
  There's just not going to be the number of people who care as
• 1:38:07
  deeply about this thing is there are going to the NFL, It's never
• 1:38:11
  going to happen, and that's OK. And I'm not saying either that I
• 1:38:16
  don't want these athletes to be paid.
• 1:38:17
  That's not what I'm saying. It's just like be realistic
• 1:38:19
  about the sport that we operate in.
• 1:38:22
  Yeah. No, I think that's 100% right.
• 1:38:24
  Like, you just can't assume that we're going to have millions of
• 1:38:28
  dollars sitting out there that people are going to go get when
• 1:38:33
  there aren't that many people watching.
• 1:38:35
  Right, which is the crazy thing when you consider WFP, because
• 1:38:39
  they honestly thought that they were going to conquer that and
• 1:38:42
  it's. Walk to it and watch and care
• 1:38:44
  about a season into the storylines that can be told.
• 1:38:48
  You very obviously don't understand market analysis well
• 1:38:52
  enough to understand that, like the entire value of CrossFit was
• 1:38:55
  from the media. And I think that WFP was like,
• 1:38:58
  oh, well, we'll duplicate the media.
• 1:39:00
  It's like, all right, it took, it took 10 years to to really
• 1:39:04
  build Rich up to where it, to what he became.
• 1:39:06
  And it was in a time where that was a different world and people
• 1:39:12
  don't have the attention spans to follow that stuff anymore,
• 1:39:15
  right? In a, in a large scale, like we
• 1:39:18
  have people that watch us, the people that watch Savon or any
• 1:39:21
  of the others, they're highly invested into the sport.
• 1:39:26
  But we don't have 50,000 people or more watching our shows.
• 1:39:30
  No, Ever. It's like we're happy if we get
• 1:39:33
  a couple 100. Right.
• 1:39:36
  And so I mean. We get more than that, but OK.
• 1:39:39
  Well, and, and that's the thing, like we've never complained
• 1:39:42
  about the money that we make from this or like we like this.
• 1:39:47
  Or the lack of the money. Right.
• 1:39:49
  Like we're happy to do this because we care deeply about the
• 1:39:52
  thing. And it's like everybody in
• 1:39:53
  CrossFit for the most, I mean, look at the judges like you want
• 1:39:57
  to talk about a professional sport, you're not going to
• 1:39:59
  become a professional sport if we don't pay the judges Like
• 1:40:02
  this is not going to happen. I like I like this comment right
• 1:40:05
  here and I agree with it. I wonder if you guys agree with
• 1:40:07
  it. This is CrossFit athletes never
• 1:40:09
  be a professional athletes. It's the same as Ninja Warrior.
• 1:40:11
  Those people are not professionals.
• 1:40:13
  They compete for a prize and I agree.
• 1:40:17
  I think they compete. I think we compete for a prize
• 1:40:23
  and there's a winner every single year and there are
• 1:40:25
  multiple prizes throughout the year.
• 1:40:27
  But it's it's it's similar to to Ninja Warrior.
• 1:40:32
  And I mean that it's got, it's as big as it's as big as it's
• 1:40:35
  ever going to be because it's on mainstream NBC and it's still a
• 1:40:39
  prize at the end of the day. Those guys aren't aren't
• 1:40:43
  millionaires. You know what I mean?
• 1:40:46
  Maybe they got paid better in Japan.
• 1:40:48
  I don't know. Back when it was Sasuke and
• 1:40:50
  Makoto Nagano won for like the first time in a really long
• 1:40:54
  time. Back when, back when Ninja
• 1:40:56
  Warrior was good for these people, for you people who have
• 1:40:59
  never seen the actual Ninja Warrior, it was much better than
• 1:41:04
  the American ninja. But then Levi Mewenberg had to
• 1:41:06
  go ruin it could be really good in Japan and then came to
• 1:41:10
  America and it was just, it was so much better in Japan.
• 1:41:14
  John who won the trial thingy? Rimco Evan Nepal won the Yeah,
• 1:41:19
  that. Was that was not my pick?
• 1:41:21
  I don't think. I don't remember.
• 1:41:24
  No, your pick was Tata, but gotcha.
• 1:41:26
  But hey, there's a road race world championship this Sunday
• 1:41:30
  and Tata is probably going to destroy some people, yeah.
• 1:41:34
  That's. Great rim job.
• 1:41:36
  Rim job don't stand a chance. Rim job.
• 1:41:42
  Yeah. So like Charles Deluxe, first of
• 1:41:44
  all, who is we that want to professionalize this?
• 1:41:47
  And why is professionalization the sport of the sport, a goal
• 1:41:55
  we as the community? And would you prefer it prefer
• 1:41:57
  it to be unprofessional, disjointed and unorganized?
• 1:42:05
  French fries and Fitness Charles Deluxe.
• 1:42:07
  So you get the cheese and the French fries, huh?
• 1:42:08
  That's. Right, they get into it.
• 1:42:13
  I, I guess my, my point is it keeps it interesting to some
• 1:42:19
  degree, like how is it going to change?
• 1:42:21
  What's what's the new rules going to be?
• 1:42:23
  How do we get to talk about it? How is it going to impact how
• 1:42:28
  things go throughout from from the elite side?
• 1:42:33
  I totally get what John is saying from a competitor side,
• 1:42:37
  Competitor side at the level of top ten, top 25% wanting to keep
• 1:42:44
  quarterfinals or keep 10% or keep 25%.
• 1:42:47
  That's where you can do it. But a lot of the people come in
• 1:42:54
  and like that they're thinking about it from a
• 1:42:57
  professionalization standpoint and they get pissed about like
• 1:43:01
  you hear, how many times have we heard Pat Brent?
• 1:43:06
  I mean, a bunch of athletes have just said they change it every
• 1:43:09
  year. Like we never get say anything
• 1:43:11
  that's the same. Like we got to figure it out.
• 1:43:13
  We got to change our season every time and our training and
• 1:43:16
  our schedule. We never know how we're going to
• 1:43:18
  qualify for the Games the next year and it's like.
• 1:43:24
  Well, I don't know why we didn't think about this, but I mean,
• 1:43:28
  college football was relatively stable for a long time, but it's
• 1:43:32
  going through a huge upheaval right now.
• 1:43:33
  You have conference re realignments, you have like the
• 1:43:36
  whole playoff system that's been introduced CNI and it's like
• 1:43:40
  it's not, it's not stable. And that's that's as a
• 1:43:42
  professional sport as you get, man.
• 1:43:44
  There's more money in college football than there is in almost
• 1:43:47
  anything. Taylor spin.
• 1:43:49
  Humans don't like change, period.
• 1:43:52
  Well, you. If you signed up for the wrong
• 1:43:55
  sport, it's about the unknown and the unknowable, yeah.
• 1:43:59
  That is true. A little off topic, but Vicki,
• 1:44:03
  one of our number one viewers over the weekend on the spin
• 1:44:06
  cast. Unrelated question, have any of
• 1:44:08
  you pulled the trigger on Community Care?
• 1:44:11
  I have to make a decision by next month and I'm curious on
• 1:44:14
  your thoughts. Open enrollment at least for us
• 1:44:18
  is next month. NN is open enrollment for us and
• 1:44:23
  we're going to make the switch then I.
• 1:44:25
  Think we're going to make the switch next month?
• 1:44:27
  Yep. So there you go.
• 1:44:29
  I would get in now. Not that the rates are going to
• 1:44:33
  go higher, but I think it would be you'll be wishing for a long
• 1:44:37
  time that you would have done it earlier.
• 1:44:40
  Yeah, I mean, I mean you look at what Kotler and his daughter is
• 1:44:44
  going through and like the insurance things like
• 1:44:48
  unfortunately right now it's too late because now she has the
• 1:44:51
  pre-existing condition. And even if they made the switch
• 1:44:55
  like she they had, like I think what Jen was saying when she was
• 1:44:58
  on our show or maybe a different one, it's like you have a
• 1:45:00
  timeline. Of two years 2.
• 1:45:02
  Years I think it is, but then even then it's a capped at at
• 1:45:04
  what the benefits can be. But when you say $500 per
• 1:45:10
  incident, like something like that comes through, it's going
• 1:45:15
  to be better than. That's Jeanette and I were kind
• 1:45:19
  of walking through it and it is actually like she has university
• 1:45:24
  insurance, which is like notoriously really good.
• 1:45:28
  I'm actually mad because my Indiana insurance was much
• 1:45:30
  better than state insurance. But it's it's like it's going to
• 1:45:37
  cost us a few $100 extra a year. But I'm like, in the case that
• 1:45:42
  nothing happened, which we have a kid now.
• 1:45:44
  So it's almost guaranteed that something's going to happen.
• 1:45:47
  I wouldn't say it's guaranteed. Well, stuff happens more
• 1:45:50
  frequently than with adults. And so I was like, in the event
• 1:45:56
  that something does happen, we're definitely going to save
• 1:45:59
  money. And then, you know, a couple of
• 1:46:02
  100 extra dollars a month to be part of something that I'm like
• 1:46:06
  way more invested in and like, like, I don't like the insurance
• 1:46:11
  companies. I would rather give my money to
• 1:46:13
  community care. I 100% agree on that.
• 1:46:18
  So no, I think that's something that we're going to be fully
• 1:46:21
  signing up for. I think, Vicki, I would go to
• 1:46:26
  CrossFit Medical Society and then check out the community
• 1:46:28
  care page. I think you can fill out a
• 1:46:32
  questionnaire on it or like fill out a form and then you can
• 1:46:35
  actually talk to somebody. I don't know if it's Jen or
• 1:46:37
  somebody else that is there, but you'll probably get a lot of
• 1:46:40
  your questions answered to to do that.
• 1:46:46
  I think they have a calculator they're rolling out as well, so
• 1:46:49
  it'd be a good time of the year. Renata, is the L1 still the
• 1:46:53
  requirement? Yes.
• 1:46:54
  I don't think they've rolled it out beyond that.
• 1:46:56
  So. Should have it anyway.
• 1:46:58
  Go. Get your L1.
• 1:47:01
  So yeah, crossfat, don't you love hedging on your own health?
• 1:47:05
  Yeah, hedge on that every time. I'm a gambling man, as you know.
• 1:47:12
  That's you just take your your nicotine pouches and hope you
• 1:47:15
  don't choke to death and you'll be fine.
• 1:47:19
  So anyway, well, there we go. Vicki has a call schedule on
• 1:47:22
  Tuesday. There you go.
• 1:47:25
  Answer all your questions, but I think it I think it is
• 1:47:27
  definitely worth considering for sure.
• 1:47:33
  So, John, you all right? Yeah.
• 1:47:37
  He got buzzed out with the community care talkies.
• 1:47:39
  Nah, I mean I was just letting y'all rock, man.
• 1:47:42
  There you go. All right.
• 1:47:43
  I don't have anything else, John.
• 1:47:46
  Any big PRS? Yeah, I just posted some on on
• 1:47:50
  JY Barbell. We had this guy Derek, his old
• 1:47:58
  bench press Max was 300 and he's at 3:15 for three right now,
• 1:48:03
  which is pretty cool. That's the last if he's the last
• 1:48:07
  one if you want, if you want to pull it up, not the pinned one,
• 1:48:09
  but the the. One next to it.
• 1:48:12
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then it goes through like
• 1:48:14
  this this month. Dude, he's got 350 in there.
• 1:48:20
  He's not even using his feet. His feet are just like sliding
• 1:48:22
  around. Andy's reaching at the top.
• 1:48:24
  Yeah, I don't think he's 350, but he's got and then like it
• 1:48:27
  it, we got a couple of them. So this girl, she had an
• 1:48:31
  osteotomy on her knee five months ago and then and then
• 1:48:40
  freaking is PR ING everything. Doesn't have the greatest front
• 1:48:44
  rack, but PR ING everything. And that 200 was a big deal.
• 1:48:50
  And then Alex is new to the program, but.
• 1:48:54
  Holy Cail for two. I think he's going to hit 250
• 1:48:57
  and his previous Max was 215 and then this is my girl that I'm
• 1:49:01
  going to take to the games one day.
• 1:49:02
  We got we got a couple years going, but like like in a couple
• 1:49:05
  years, but I'm going to take her to the game.
• 1:49:08
  She had 275 for three today. We're hoping for 300 when we Max
• 1:49:14
  and then she hurry up. She is Nah, man, we're not
• 1:49:19
  sponsored by them anymore. And then this is then this is
• 1:49:23
  Miss Jenny with all time, but she's 4443 or something like
• 1:49:29
  that. Strongest she's ever been.
• 1:49:31
  Mom of four kids and this girl had a baby nine months ago.
• 1:49:37
  Strongest she's ever been. But yeah, that was this month.
• 1:49:41
  Stay tuned for next month there's.
• 1:49:43
  Quite a bit of PRS there. Yeah, do we're rocking, we're
• 1:49:46
  rocking. If you ever if anybody wants to
• 1:49:48
  get strong, just hit me up, DM me on JY Barbell.
• 1:49:52
  Not not the other one, JY Barbell.
• 1:49:55
  But yeah, dude, everybody's killing it.
• 1:49:58
  I'm I'm really happy with everybody's.
• 1:50:00
  At least three. All the girls do.
• 1:50:07
  The guys, some of them do, they feel a little weird wearing it.
• 1:50:14
  It's like wearing somebody else's jersey.
• 1:50:16
  By now, while supplies last, that's.
• 1:50:18
  Right, Yeah, dude, I actually were sold out of the large and
• 1:50:20
  the black. So I mean and the small and the
• 1:50:24
  teal crop. But yeah, go check it out.
• 1:50:27
  It's. If you go to refill.
• 1:50:28
  If you go to JY Barbell on the Instagram.
• 1:50:30
  That inventory. You go to JY barbell on the
• 1:50:33
  Instagram, the link is in there on at the top it.
• 1:50:37
  Sure is time to restock, John. We do need to.
• 1:50:42
  Roll those profits into some more inventory.
• 1:50:43
  Ask I'm. Going to place another $300 or
• 1:50:46
  300 shirt. I was like, ask vindicate about
• 1:50:49
  your inventory first place, your God.
• 1:50:54
  The thing is, The thing is he was going to do it, but then he
• 1:50:57
  wasn't going to have them by the games.
• 1:50:59
  And I was like, I mean like I'll just do it and I'll and I didn't
• 1:51:03
  know what to, I didn't, I didn't know how many to get and.
• 1:51:07
  And minimum order is 600. But I got I got too many.
• 1:51:11
  You got to pay upfront, too. That's right, Tyler Heat one.
• 1:51:16
  You're ramping that up for Crash?
• 1:51:18
  Crash we're getting everything ready stay tuned guys so.
• 1:51:22
  Crash is going to be so fun man. Yeah, it's it's going to be a
• 1:51:27
  wild one this year. Crash of the East, I think is
• 1:51:29
  what we're calling. It dude, I'm excited.
• 1:51:31
  I'm excited to just our head to head.
• 1:51:35
  Dude, I'm I'm getting nervous. To like, I saw the traverse
• 1:51:38
  muscle ups and I'm like, dude, it's going to be so fun.
• 1:51:40
  We get to do stuff like that. I.
• 1:51:44
  You cannot back out of this. Time I'm not going to, I'm just
• 1:51:47
  nervous. I did a workout today and it
• 1:51:48
  shouldn't have been that hard that I'm wondering if like just
• 1:51:52
  sleeps getting to me or whatever.
• 1:51:53
  But it was it was 3 rounds. We got the same baby.
• 1:51:56
  It was this, I don't know. It was 3 rounds and essentially
• 1:52:01
  1 to one rest and it was 15 Cal standing bike at 10:15.
• 1:52:08
  Bench press at 15510. Cleans with the 150 sandbag it.
• 1:52:12
  Sounds like I'll work out. I would love one.
• 1:52:15
  This is great. Keep talking dirty to.
• 1:52:18
  Me and then 15 bench press with the 1:55 and then the 15 Cal
• 1:52:22
  standing bike and I was dying. I was like what is happening?
• 1:52:27
  Not every workout's going to be. That it was.
• 1:52:29
  It was that. Like like.
• 1:52:31
  It was the 10 sandbag cleans that I was like I am getting
• 1:52:34
  slammed right now. I couldn't get my heart rate
• 1:52:36
  down. Like first set of bench press
• 1:52:39
  every round unbroken and then going to that second set of 15.
• 1:52:43
  On the sandbag. No.
• 1:52:46
  Well, that's your problem. I'm just wasting too much
• 1:52:48
  energy, not going unbroken. I.
• 1:52:50
  Mean time under tension. I hadn't picked up a sandbag in
• 1:52:53
  a while and so I was like, let me just kind.
• 1:52:56
  Of 10 reps with the 1:50. Yeah, 150.
• 1:52:58
  I mean, like, yeah, your heart rate will get up, but like,
• 1:53:01
  it'll come back down on that standing bike.
• 1:53:03
  Well, that's what I'm saying. So I got to the bench press
• 1:53:05
  having gone on, gone unbroken on the first set, and I'm doing
• 1:53:08
  like fives and I'm like, what's that damn problem?
• 1:53:14
  Well, I highly doubt that will be one of the crash work.
• 1:53:17
  Work like a workout like that will be the crash a crash
• 1:53:20
  workout. And if it is, it'll.
• 1:53:21
  Be worse, it'll. Just chalk it up to.
• 1:53:23
  Me I need to just start making it mandatory like doing old
• 1:53:25
  crash events to like just test the system.
• 1:53:30
  Yeah, I'm just, I'm just running.
• 1:53:33
  I'm just running. I just, I just need to be able
• 1:53:36
  to not walk for the whatever running event there is.
• 1:53:40
  And then and then I'll just, if I get beat by other things like,
• 1:53:44
  you know, go you, you know, I just, I just want to be
• 1:53:48
  respectful in the running event. And then and then the rest of
• 1:53:52
  it, I'm fine at like. If there's a breathing like
• 1:53:55
  gymnastics metcon in my training, I tend to do that one
• 1:53:59
  since I have limited time like so strengthened in that.
• 1:54:02
  So now I just need to like actually train and do do some
• 1:54:05
  stuff that's going to expose me. Yeah, let's get the £250 sandbag
• 1:54:12
  for a crash. Let's let's rock with that.
• 1:54:14
  That's. Not I mean you got you got to
• 1:54:15
  think what did Jr. program for Jason and Brooke 2.
• 1:54:21
  Years ago. I know, dude.
• 1:54:23
  I'm, I'm, I think we're going to have a ball.
• 1:54:25
  I think because it's going to be awkward stuff.
• 1:54:27
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
• 1:54:28
  And neither one of us have touched it before.
• 1:54:30
  I just think we're going to have a really good time.
• 1:54:33
  Yeah, it'll be fun. I think there'll be some stuff
• 1:54:35
  that we're just like, not stuck on, but like, damn it.
• 1:54:38
  Yeah, no, no, we might get stuck.
• 1:54:40
  Like there'll be a cap, you know what I mean?
• 1:54:42
  Oh, there's going to be some sort of heavy event that I'm
• 1:54:45
  just like and I'm done. And.
• 1:54:48
  Yeah. All right, guys, Thank you for
