- 1:07And I just grabbed like the most
- 1:08comfortable sweatshirt I own,
- 1:10which is this rogue sweatshirt.
- 1:12I don't know how they made it.
- 1:14I don't have another one like it.
- 1:16It is just,
- 1:17it is one of the most comfortable things
- 1:19I own.
- 1:20It's a go rock, right?
- 1:21Or is it rogue or go rock?
- 1:22That would make it.
- 1:26I don't know.
- 1:27I don't know.
- 1:28But I do like the style of it.
- 1:30It's a good fit.
- 1:32Go Brook has kind of disappeared real
- 1:34quick, haven't they?
- 1:36They came in with a bang and now

- 1:38Yeah.
- 1:42um but yeah crazy um super excited to
- 1:45be with you guys tonight uh jamie is
- 1:48on spring break and on vacation in florida
- 1:51so it might mean that i can actually
- 1:53speak without being argued with um but
- 1:57we'll see what kind of mood carolyn's in
- 1:59tonight that's true i can be feisty
- 2:01sometimes so uh we got a lot to
- 2:04talk about a lot to talk about um
- 2:08today was um
- 2:10Today was a weird day for me.
- 2:12Today would have been my dad's.
- 2:14Eighty second birthday.
- 2:16And so I miss him dearly.
- 2:18My wife and I,
- 2:20we went out and took a drive today,
- 2:23got some lunch,
- 2:24went down to OSU campus and sat on
- 2:27the quad and ate our lunch just to
- 2:31get outside and stuff.
- 2:33But I could not believe the amount of
- 2:36Grubhub little like GPS coolers they have
- 2:41on campus now.
- 2:42GPS coolers?
- 2:44Yeah, it's like,
- 2:44so you order Grubhub on campus.
- 2:46I don't even know what Grubhub is.
- 2:48So Grubhub is like DoorDash or... Oh,
- 2:50okay.
- 2:50Right.
- 2:52So you order from the dining hall.
- 2:54They put it in these GPS coolers,
- 2:57and these GPS coolers drive around campus,
- 2:59unmanned, to a destination, and they stop,
- 3:05and there's a code,
- 3:06and the student pushes in the code.
- 3:08The cooler top opens up,
- 3:10and you grab your food,
- 3:11close it back down,
- 3:12and it goes back to the dining hall.
- 3:15Is that just in Ohio?
- 3:17I don't think so.
- 3:18I've seen them in movies.
- 3:20I just never saw them in the wild
- 3:22until today.
- 3:23I don't know if we have those in
- 3:24Canada.
- 3:25Certainly not in the winter.
- 3:27Yeah,
- 3:27they would need like snowmobile tracks or
- 3:30something in Canada.
- 3:33So delivered robots, yeah.
- 3:37It's delivery robots, GPS robots, yeah,
- 3:41all of that.
- 3:42It was wild.
- 3:43I just couldn't believe how many they were
- 3:44and how sensitive they were to when a
- 3:47human walked by it.
- 3:49Like if a human gets near it,
- 3:50it slows way, way down.
- 3:52It almost comes to a stop.
- 3:54And then if there's nobody around it,
- 3:56it's like it hits the gas and goes
- 3:58like a hundred miles an hour.
- 4:00Not really a hundred miles an hour,
- 4:01but you know.
- 4:05Did you see the video of the one
- 4:07that kept getting lost because of sidewalk
- 4:08construction?
- 4:10There was a lot of construction where I
- 4:11was at today.
- 4:13And I was really surprised how much,
- 4:14and there were a lot of stairs and
- 4:16it always avoided the stairs.
- 4:18Like it knew to avoid the stairs.
- 4:20It was crazy.
- 4:23It's a cooler with a little like bicycle
- 4:24flag on the back with the orange like
- 4:27flag.
- 4:28And they're just driving around campus.
- 4:31It was wild.
- 4:33I'm sure they can't do it like in
- 4:34a city or like people would run them
- 4:36over.
- 4:37Yeah.
- 4:38But like on campus,
- 4:38it's probably probably fine.
- 4:42We have our weekly Fergie question.
- 4:45Carolyn,
- 4:45would you rather duck walk home after
- 4:47sixteen point one or twenty six point one
- 4:52or argue with Americans about which
- 4:54country is better at hockey?
- 4:56I would rather argue with Americans about
- 4:59which country is better at hockey for
- 5:01sure.
- 5:02For sure.
- 5:04For sure.
- 5:04The women's team right now is better than
- 5:06Canada,
- 5:07and the men's team is better than the
- 5:08States on the men's side.
- 5:11That's my opinion.
- 5:14Well, if you go by the last competition,
- 5:17right now, the U.S.
- 5:18holds the gold in both.
- 5:21But it has been,
- 5:22like I said last week,
- 5:24we have been the nail.
- 5:25Canada has been the hammer,
- 5:27especially on the men's side.
- 5:29I think it's been more even on the
- 5:31women's side.
- 5:32Not as of late.
- 5:33U.S.
- 5:34has been better.
- 5:35Yeah,
- 5:35but I would say over the last ten
- 5:37years, ten to fifteen years.
- 5:38Yeah.
- 5:40Where the Canadian men have been more
- 5:42dominant.
- 5:43Had Canada won the gold,
- 5:45I would still say USA is better.
- 5:48That's just like USA is better on the
- 5:49woman's side right now.
- 5:50And again, regardless of whether the U.S.
- 5:53male won, they have a gold medal.
- 5:54But I would still say Canada is better.
- 5:57Like a one game in the Olympics and
- 5:59then three-on-three overtime does not
- 6:00determine which team is better.
- 6:01It's not even the same hockey as
- 6:03five-on-five.
- 6:04Tomato, tomato.
- 6:06Exactly.
- 6:06It's two different games,
- 6:08five-on-five and three-on-three.
- 6:10Train Olive says, how about soccer,
- 6:12Carolyn?
- 6:12Who wins the She Believes Cup?
- 6:16I haven't followed much soccer as of late.
- 6:18Yeah, me neither.
- 6:22World Cup's coming up,
- 6:23so I'm sure it'll be...
- 6:26much bigger than,
- 6:27but right now that's like,
- 6:29there's so many other good sports going on
- 6:31right now.
- 6:31I'm not following.
- 6:32Cause didn't soccer just kick off in the
- 6:36U S anyway, in the North America,
- 6:39the MLS.
- 6:43So, all right.
- 6:45What else do we got on tap tonight?
- 6:48I just watched the movie song, song blue.
- 6:52It's a, it's about,
- 6:55A couple that are a Neil Diamond tribute
- 6:58band.
- 6:59It's Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson.
- 7:02Phenomenal movie.
- 7:02Really good.
- 7:04Highly recommend.
- 7:04It's free on Peacock right now.
- 7:08So it's my wife and I both really,
- 7:11really enjoyed it.
- 7:14But really well done.
- 7:18That's on my watch later list.
- 7:21I watched Love is Blind this weekend,
- 7:23but got all caught up in that one.
- 7:26That's the Columbus one?
- 7:28Which one?
- 7:29Is it the Columbus one?
- 7:31The latest season of Love is Blind is
- 7:33in Columbus.
- 7:34Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 7:35Yeah, it's that one.
- 7:38Some good drama.
- 7:42Eric Mackey says,
- 7:42need to watch the documentary for more
- 7:44realism.
- 7:44Both good, though.
- 7:47i i actually looked it up to see
- 7:48if it was a true story and it
- 7:49then it referred me to the documentary so
- 7:52i may i may grab it i'm a
- 7:54closet neil diamond fan i really really
- 7:56enjoy his music a lot um trish the
- 8:00dish wants to know is love is blind
- 8:02worth it that's your question i've never
- 8:06watched it i like that kind of stuff
- 8:12Yeah.
- 8:12Uh, I like this.
- 8:14Fifteen forty says,
- 8:14have you watched train dreams yet?
- 8:16I have not.
- 8:17I don't even know what that is.
- 8:22Uh, Vicki says that's so much drama,
- 8:23Carolyn.
- 8:26Always.
- 8:29Uh, CrossFit says,
- 8:30I feel like Carolyn will have a top
- 8:31score in twenty six point one since she
- 8:33does so much plyometric work.
- 8:35We're going to talk about twenty six point
- 8:36one pretty in depth in who we think
- 8:38will have the top score.
- 8:40Um,
- 8:41there was more box jumps and less wall
- 8:43balls.
- 8:43I think that'd be a different.
- 8:46Yeah.
- 8:47Uh,
- 8:50train dreams is up for best picture this
- 8:52year.
- 8:53I try to catch best picture,
- 8:54but I've been really sorely,
- 8:57sorely disappointed in the Academy's
- 8:59nominations as of late.
- 9:01Um,
- 9:02I have not been a fan of a
- 9:03lot of the movies that have been nominated
- 9:05in the last couple of years.
- 9:06So we'll see.
- 9:09Um,
- 9:10But yeah,
- 9:11the last thing I wanted to talk about
- 9:12before we dive into the CrossFit stuff is,
- 9:16you know,
- 9:16our presenting sponsor is Thirdsy.
- 9:18I have this bag of salted caramel
- 9:21chocolate that I'm giving away.
- 9:24And the way you can qualify to get
- 9:26this...
- 9:27is not in the chat,
- 9:29but in the comments of any video from
- 9:31Wednesday through tonight,
- 9:34if you put Thirdsy is Jazzy in the
- 9:37comments,
- 9:38you are eligible to win a travel pack
- 9:41of salted caramel chocolate,
- 9:43which you cannot get right now.
- 9:45You cannot get this.
- 9:46The only way you can get it is
- 9:47to win it.
- 9:50So you do that and they're running an
- 9:53open deal right now from now through the
- 9:55end of the open.
- 9:56Twenty five percent off if you use code
- 9:59Jazzy at checkout.
- 10:01J-A-Z-Z-Y or go to Thirdsy.com backslash
- 10:05Jazzy and you can get twenty five percent
- 10:07off your order because as Carolyn knows,
- 10:11these workouts take a lot out of you
- 10:13and you need to replenish quickly.
- 10:15And the best way to do that is
- 10:16to sleep.
- 10:17and get some collagen protein in you and
- 10:20recover and be ready for the next attempt
- 10:22or the next week.
- 10:24Yeah,
- 10:24I've been making sure that I don't miss
- 10:27my third C right now because I need
- 10:29anything I can to recover these legs.
- 10:34Yeah.
- 10:34Fergie says third C is awesome.
- 10:36I track my sleep and the score is
- 10:37always over ninety five.
- 10:40There it is.
- 10:40Proof is in the pudding.
- 10:44So, yeah, let's talk about it.
- 10:46So,
- 10:46twenty six point one was announced on
- 10:48Thursday, Thursday, Thursday, Thursday.
- 10:52It's like when I tried to say my
- 10:55pick for Dallin Pepper last week and it
- 10:56turned into a Dallin Pepper picked a peck
- 10:59of pickled peppers.
- 11:02The workout was announced last Thursday.
- 11:06It is a bizarre rep scheme.
- 11:09It changes midway through to some wall
- 11:12ball stepovers.
- 11:14Starts with box jump overs.
- 11:16And then it also has a ton of
- 11:19just wall ball shots.
- 11:21So let's talk about it.
- 11:26What were your initial thoughts on the
- 11:27workout?
- 11:28Damn, that's a lot of wall balls.
- 11:30I've never programmed that many wall balls
- 11:32for myself.
- 11:33Would never program that many wall balls
- 11:35for myself.
- 11:37Ouch.
- 11:39That was my first.
- 11:40And then I started doing the math and
- 11:41I was like, wait,
- 11:43are people going to finish this?
- 11:44I'm like, well,
- 11:45that's good that people don't finish
- 11:47because a lot of people have no business
- 11:49even coming close to that volume to
- 11:51finish.
- 11:52So let's talk about that.
- 11:53There's been a lot of complaints.
- 11:55And I saw CJ actually is in the
- 11:57chat.
- 11:57He directed this on or directed attention
- 12:01to this on Friday morning show.
- 12:04It's okay that people don't finish this
- 12:06workout.
- 12:07Absolutely.
- 12:07They shouldn't.
- 12:08Like people don't need to do that volume.
- 12:11Right.
- 12:12But I also don't think that we need
- 12:14to do that volume just because we're fit
- 12:16that like we need that much,
- 12:19like that many wobbles.
- 12:20I don't know.
- 12:20That's my opinion.
- 12:22I don't think that that's necessary to,
- 12:24to force us because we're fit to do
- 12:28that many.
- 12:28I mean, they're not forcing us,
- 12:29but you know what I mean?
- 12:31Like put us in a position to do
- 12:33that much volume is not always necessary.
- 12:38And CJ says it's appropriate that they
- 12:40don't finish.
- 12:41Absolutely.
- 12:42I, I, a thousand percent agree with that.
- 12:45And we have had tons of open workouts
- 12:47in the past that the average gym goer
- 12:50was not going to finish.
- 12:52There was one workout.
- 12:54It was a lot of different things.
- 12:56It ended, I think with ring muscle ups,
- 12:59only like four people in the world
- 13:01finished that workout.
- 13:03And that was okay.
- 13:05It still was a good test.
- 13:11CJ says,
- 13:11I think the volume is a separator.
- 13:13So I disagree.
- 13:14But you could have a different movement
- 13:16also to be a separator because if the
- 13:17volume is too small in the wall balls
- 13:19and everyone goes unbroken,
- 13:20it becomes like a range of motion,
- 13:22speed of squatting, everything like that.
- 13:24But if you add maybe something else to
- 13:26another element,
- 13:27then it doesn't need to be two hundred
- 13:29and forty six wall balls.
- 13:33and way less box jump overs.
- 13:35You know,
- 13:35you could have other elements to that so
- 13:39that it's not so specific on just wall
- 13:41ball volume.
- 13:45But on the contrary,
- 13:46I'm going to go back on my own
- 13:47thought is like,
- 13:49I've been waiting for CrossFit to do a
- 13:51leg jump
- 13:53punishing move like workout for a very
- 13:55long time because i feel like every single
- 13:58time that they do leg stuff it's power
- 14:00output on a machine it's yeah it's most
- 14:03of the time it's like power output on
- 14:04a machine versus just like a leg stamina
- 14:08who's gonna push through the lack like
- 14:10who's gonna push through that like pain in
- 14:12the legs which we haven't seen that often
- 14:16um in the past few years honestly we
- 14:19haven't seen it at all and i've been
- 14:20complaining about it
- 14:23Yeah, CJ, now what you just said, exactly,
- 14:25we needed this.
- 14:29So that's like the other part of my
- 14:30mind is like, but we also need this.
- 14:33So I go back and forth between whether
- 14:36it's needed, that volume,
- 14:38or just add another movement.
- 14:44So I guess we're here,
- 14:47so we'll go there.
- 14:49There's been a lot of talk about Dave
- 14:50not doing enough squatting.
- 14:52right?
- 14:53It's been too many machines,
- 14:56not enough squatting.
- 14:58Mason startup made a video.
- 14:59It's made the rounds.
- 15:01Is Dave Castro washed?
- 15:03Do you think that adjustments were made
- 15:07because of that video?
- 15:08Or do you think this has been the
- 15:09plan all along?
- 15:11I think this has been his workout all
- 15:13along.
- 15:16I don't think that that workout had
- 15:18anything to do because they would have had
- 15:19the workouts already written prior to that
- 15:22Mason video.
- 15:23Yeah.
- 15:28I know with the behind the scenes of
- 15:30this creation with him and Ralph Sanson,
- 15:37he changed the top of the pyramid in
- 15:41the last go around.
- 15:42I think he actually reduced it.
- 15:46If you listen closely,
- 15:48I think it was actually more,
- 15:50and they brought it down a little bit
- 15:51for the final number,
- 15:55which is absolutely crazy.
- 16:01Grace says,
- 16:02I don't think Dave would be moved by
- 16:03that video.
- 16:03If anything,
- 16:04criticism typically makes him double down.
- 16:09I think that he proves points where he
- 16:13can.
- 16:21So anyway, there's that.
- 16:27I think it's a good workout.
- 16:30Everything is doable.
- 16:31So if we're talking about the community
- 16:33itself and not necessarily the elite
- 16:35athletes,
- 16:36even though it looks very voluminous,
- 16:39nobody's getting to the end of this.
- 16:41And it is all very doable.
- 16:43Yeah, you're getting up one percent.
- 16:46yeah so for the community it's a good
- 16:50work it's a good entry-level workout um
- 16:53and it has a it has a time
- 16:54cap so everybody gets saved um and so
- 16:58i think i think it was a good
- 16:59mix of a lot of volume for the
- 17:01elite athletes and a doable workout for
- 17:04the the guy off the street and then
- 17:08if you look at like their instagram today
- 17:10when they collaborated not collaborated
- 17:11but like
- 17:12called out basically high rocks you know
- 17:14what that like oh yeah i got that
- 17:15hold on um like i think that's a
- 17:21brilliant uh move by crossfit to you know
- 17:24lean into that and be like high rocks
- 17:29you know come and join the open
- 17:32Yeah,
- 17:34I love that they are collaborating with,
- 17:35and this is just them posting it.
- 17:38We heard you're pretty good with wall
- 17:40balls and High Rock saying,
- 17:41you son of a bitch.
- 17:44Um,
- 17:45I think that the trolling that CrossFit
- 17:46has done has been tasteful and it's been,
- 17:50it's made them relevant and current.
- 17:54Um, I've, I showed this on Friday show.
- 17:56I don't know if you saw this,
- 17:58but they announced Colton is the winner of
- 17:59the announcement.
- 18:01And in the original Hiller video about
- 18:04kill Taylor, um,
- 18:05the rating category for the best TV show
- 18:08was absolute cinema.
- 18:11And for CrossFit to take that term and
- 18:13that phrase and put it on Colton means
- 18:18that they are paying attention to what's
- 18:19going on in the space.
- 18:21And they're,
- 18:22they're participating in what's going on.
- 18:25And I think that's really cool.
- 18:27Which they should.
- 18:29Yeah.
- 18:30They should be aware of like different
- 18:31things that's going on with the athletes
- 18:32and, and whatnot.
- 18:36So I think that's awesome.
- 18:39There's more to share there,
- 18:40but I guess I should have just kept
- 18:42it up.
- 18:43Because there was a couple of things about
- 18:44the community I did want to share on
- 18:46that.
- 18:47And that was that our champ is still
- 18:54doing it even though she's pregnant.
- 18:56Her score is awesome.
- 18:59Cause I judged some people this weekend
- 19:01that did the workouts at our gym and
- 19:04she would have the next best time after
- 19:07me or best score after me from the
- 19:08female side.
- 19:09And we have some like good,
- 19:10decently fit females and her score is
- 19:14still like incredible.
- 19:19It's crazy.
- 19:20So good.
- 19:22But I'm not surprised.
- 19:22I think she beat me in like three
- 19:24of the, like, I don't know,
- 19:25four workouts the one year when she was
- 19:26like eight months pregnant.
- 19:27And I was like, oh, okay.
- 19:30I'll take a loss to pregnant Tia any
- 19:32day.
- 19:33And I don't know if you saw this
- 19:34one.
- 19:36This is Brent,
- 19:37the owner and head coach of CrossFit
- 19:39Avalon Beach.
- 19:40Right now, he's on dialysis.
- 19:42He has a hernia.
- 19:43His heart functioning is less than twenty
- 19:45five percent.
- 19:46Arthritis grips both shoulders and one is
- 19:49completely frozen.
- 19:50And still,
- 19:51he showed up to do the workout.
- 19:56And that is really cool.
- 20:00So kudos to Brent for doing that.
- 20:03It takes away every excuse I've made this
- 20:05week.
- 20:09So that's pretty awesome.
- 20:12So kudos to Brent.
- 20:13Good luck on everything you're going
- 20:16through and hope that you find answers to
- 20:18all of that.
- 20:22Vicki wrote here,
- 20:24what is that one thing about the scaling
- 20:26for the age groups and scaled athletes?
- 20:28What scaling?
- 20:29Scaling.
- 20:31Yeah,
- 20:31so that's what I was going to say
- 20:32was, like, in the RX, like,
- 20:35we have a lady at our gym where
- 20:37she's only been training ten because
- 20:39typically I think they went to fourteen
- 20:41ten in that age group.
- 20:43And, like,
- 20:44she was surprised that she had to go
- 20:46fourteen pounds.
- 20:47I believe that's what she said.
- 20:48So I haven't looked at all the scaling,
- 20:50but it seemed like it wasn't scaled too,
- 20:52too much throughout the age groups.
- 20:55Yeah.
- 20:58I know Shanna made a comment on Friday
- 21:01in the chat about that they,
- 21:03the older athletes still had to do a
- 21:04fourteen pound wall ball,
- 21:06which she found odd.
- 21:08And there she is.
- 21:08I say her name and she appears like
- 21:11Candyman.
- 21:15The men got nine foot target,
- 21:16no scaling for the women.
- 21:18Sorry.
- 21:22Better not be Lex.
- 21:23no it's actually my uh old vice principal
- 21:26that like retired a few years ago so
- 21:30interesting to hear from him yeah shanna
- 21:33was was saying friday in the chat that
- 21:35it was odd that there was no scaling
- 21:37for the women in the older age groups
- 21:40that's yeah that was the conversation i
- 21:41think i had with the saint with um
- 21:43a lady at my gym as well yeah
- 21:48um women nine foot fourteen pounds men
- 21:51twenty pounds nine feet yeah
- 21:55So crazy.
- 21:58What else do we have for this?
- 22:02We had the announcement itself.
- 22:03We had Colton, Jason, Austin,
- 22:05and Dallin all do the workout.
- 22:08I'm sure you watched it to get any
- 22:11kind of clues you could.
- 22:13I think Colton proved that this is a
- 22:15fitness workout.
- 22:18Wall balls can be easier for a taller
- 22:19athlete,
- 22:20but if you don't have the fitness to
- 22:21keep going, you're not going to keep up.
- 22:24I think he showed he has obviously the
- 22:27fitness and then the squat cycle,
- 22:32his speed of bouncing out of the bottom,
- 22:36already being at the bottom,
- 22:37and then his explosion out of the bottom
- 22:39is significantly faster.
- 22:40Regardless of his height,
- 22:43he's fit and squats faster than anyone,
- 22:46so he maximizes that.
- 22:48I was so impressed by him,
- 22:50and he just attacked that workout.
- 22:54It was awesome to see.
- 22:57I think that lost in that is that
- 22:58Jason had a really good performance too.
- 23:01Yeah, he did.
- 23:03To complete that workout in what?
- 23:04Eleven thirty.
- 23:05I thought eleven thirty two.
- 23:07Something like that.
- 23:08Yeah.
- 23:08Thirty three maybe was really impressive.
- 23:12He he dominated the other two athletes
- 23:15that were there.
- 23:17Yeah.
- 23:18So he is starting off the season
- 23:21legitimizing his championship with a
- 23:23really good performance.
- 23:28Kenneth says what that Hatfield show I
- 23:30thought Colton explained this very well on
- 23:32Friday and that was that some people take
- 23:35more time off in the offseason Colton is
- 23:37a person who doesn't take time off he's
- 23:39very much like Carolyn he has a set
- 23:41schedule every day where he works out and
- 23:44he goes to work and he works out
- 23:45and he goes to work and that's just
- 23:47the way he does life where Austin took
- 23:50time off and is now coming back and
- 23:52is probably not back to where he was
- 23:57I thought that was a great explanation.
- 24:07Colton is a master at using his strengths
- 24:09to overcome his weaknesses.
- 24:10He really is.
- 24:12I think any elite athlete has to do
- 24:14that and look at, look at themselves,
- 24:16be honest with like what your strengths
- 24:17and weaknesses are.
- 24:18And like for him, he's reached out to,
- 24:20you know,
- 24:21the proven coaches and now he works with
- 24:23Joey and yeah, they're,
- 24:25they've been attacking his weaknesses and
- 24:26he's made tremendous gains in the past few
- 24:29years.
- 24:31Really, you know, right up there,
- 24:33right around that top ten worldwide at the
- 24:36games.
- 24:37And he,
- 24:37and this is an athlete that traditionally
- 24:39was getting cut in the thirties.
- 24:43Great to see.
- 24:46The other thing,
- 24:46the other comment he made on Friday that
- 24:49I found surprising is that he said he
- 24:51performs better when Joey's with him.
- 24:54And because Colton, I mean,
- 24:56I've known him for so many years.
- 24:58And Colton has always kind of been alone
- 25:01in the back.
- 25:02He doesn't bring a coach.
- 25:04Allie comes with him sometimes.
- 25:05But because of things that they have going
- 25:07on at their home and their business and
- 25:09all of those things,
- 25:09it's not easy for people to get away
- 25:11and assist him.
- 25:13And he has said that he has realized
- 25:16that when Joey's with him,
- 25:17he keeps him calm.
- 25:19that and it's not about like over coaching
- 25:21him or any of that stuff.
- 25:23Like he knows what he's going to do
- 25:24when it gets on the floor.
- 25:26It's just about keeping him calm and
- 25:29keeping him loose in the back.
- 25:31And I thought that was very telling that
- 25:33that's something he's discovered in the
- 25:34last year.
- 25:35Yeah.
- 25:36Sometimes that's all you need.
- 25:39Do you,
- 25:39do you feel you perform better when you
- 25:41have someone back there to talk to and.
- 25:44Yeah.
- 25:44To vent, to talk about my strategy,
- 25:46talk about what I think the,
- 25:49the field will do get some feedback,
- 25:53get some honest talk sometimes.
- 25:56Yeah.
- 25:56I like it.
- 25:58Yeah.
- 25:59And only the OGs know this,
- 26:00but Colton's first ever interview was on
- 26:01this channel.
- 26:02If you didn't know.
- 26:05He was in his barn on this channel
- 26:08with really choppy wifi, but he was here.
- 26:12And, but this was like the family bar,
- 26:14not like his own that he's built recently.
- 26:17Um, really, really fun.
- 26:20Gotten to know Colton a lot over the
- 26:21years.
- 26:22He's a great dude.
- 26:24Um,
- 26:26Shannon says always good to have a good
- 26:27support person in the back.
- 26:31Um, what else do we have here?
- 26:33Um,
- 26:36Open numbers, if you didn't see it today,
- 26:39we surpassed the twenty twenty five total
- 26:42today.
- 26:43Currently,
- 26:45it's slowed down a little bit this
- 26:46afternoon,
- 26:47which doesn't surprise me a ton.
- 26:52But here is as we sit right this
- 26:55second.
- 26:57Two thirty six one four eight.
- 26:59So we are ahead of schedule.
- 27:01We still have a full day of registrations
- 27:05left to get that up.
- 27:07I predicted two fifty.
- 27:09Corey predicted two seventy five.
- 27:11I'm betting we hit somewhere in the middle
- 27:13of there.
- 27:15So.
- 27:19But pretty good.
- 27:19Glad to see things are starting to spring
- 27:22back.
- 27:26Then we have things we saw.
- 27:33Things we saw.
- 27:34I wish I could pull this up,
- 27:35but it has since been pulled down.
- 27:38This weekend we saw the tiniest box I've
- 27:42ever seen for box jump overs.
- 27:45And I don't need to call anybody out.
- 27:48You may have seen it,
- 27:49but it was like the smallest twenty inch
- 27:52box I've ever seen,
- 27:53which it's still the same height.
- 27:56But when you only have you don't have
- 27:58to clear over it,
- 27:59it makes it so much easier to get
- 28:01the other side.
- 28:03My question to you, Carolyn,
- 28:05is and I asked you this in our
- 28:07text.
- 28:09Why does that matter in the open?
- 28:11If you're an elite level athlete,
- 28:13you're going to make the top twenty five
- 28:15percent.
- 28:16And when you go to semifinals or the
- 28:20games,
- 28:20you're not going to get that advantage.
- 28:22So why would you even train it?
- 28:25I think the open is different.
- 28:27I think you want to start the year
- 28:29doing the best that you can.
- 28:31A bunch of people,
- 28:32you can't control what they're doing for
- 28:34their version.
- 28:34They're not getting,
- 28:35some of the scores aren't even getting
- 28:36judged properly.
- 28:38Um, I mean, I've used like the,
- 28:41a rogue, um, box that's like, I guess,
- 28:45it's like they're,
- 28:48it's like a blackish box that rogue has
- 28:51before.
- 28:52Like you've seen it from other athletes.
- 28:55Like I remember Emma Carey won a twenty
- 28:59one point two dumbbell snatch,
- 29:02a burpee box jump overs.
- 29:04And I think she had like the fifteen
- 29:05or sixteen inch top of the box,
- 29:07which was like the limit that you can
- 29:09do.
- 29:10Which helps.
- 29:11And if you're trying to like win a
- 29:12workout worldwide like she was like that
- 29:15helps and you go for it.
- 29:17But for her,
- 29:17she was going to win the workout
- 29:19worldwide.
- 29:19She had a shot.
- 29:20The person that did this is not going
- 29:22to win the workout worldwide.
- 29:23But maybe just wants to get the best
- 29:25score that they can.
- 29:27Yeah, I just find it.
- 29:28It'd be like me buying viewers.
- 29:31It's just a false number.
- 29:32It doesn't mean anything.
- 29:35Right?
- 29:35And so when I actually do something with
- 29:38good numbers,
- 29:39I don't have anything true to compare it
- 29:41to.
- 29:43And that's what I think.
- 29:45I guess fundamentally with CrossFit,
- 29:47you are always comparing yourself to
- 29:49yourself.
- 29:50And you want to beat your score from
- 29:52last week or the week before that or
- 29:54whatever, right?
- 29:55And so if you do something to taint
- 29:59the performance,
- 30:00how do you then later come back and
- 30:02compare yourself?
- 30:05But if the box is legal…
- 30:08By the rules,
- 30:10and you have access to that at your
- 30:12gym, it's not against the rules.
- 30:14It's not like cutting your inches off the
- 30:17wall balls and being higher than parallel.
- 30:22It's legal by the rules.
- 30:23You have access to it.
- 30:27Yeah,
- 30:27you're not going to see it in comp.
- 30:29I'm going to phrase it one more different
- 30:31way.
- 30:32If this person now has to compete with
- 30:34you at semifinals...
- 30:36And you have been training on a full-size
- 30:38top box.
- 30:39So you have got the method down to
- 30:41get over the top of the box correctly.
- 30:45This person is using a much smaller box,
- 30:47making it much easier for them.
- 30:49When they have to compete against you,
- 30:50now they're at a disadvantage instead of
- 30:53an advantage because they didn't train it
- 30:55the right way.
- 30:56No,
- 30:57I think you just do that for the
- 30:58competition one time on the weekend and
- 31:00then you go back to training regular.
- 31:01I don't think it affects anything with
- 31:03in-person training.
- 31:06You're not training on that consistently.
- 31:08That's just something you pull out for the
- 31:09open.
- 31:11I think.
- 31:16Teresa,
- 31:18the person I'm talking about is not Ellie.
- 31:19I did not see Ellie's video.
- 31:23And I would show the video.
- 31:25It's just it's not up for me to
- 31:26show anymore.
- 31:28I should have screenshotted it.
- 31:29I didn't.
- 31:34Andrew Sten,
- 31:34I'm surprised they didn't say the box had
- 31:35to be a certain length and width.
- 31:37They've done that in the past, I think.
- 31:39It does say.
- 31:40I think the top needs to be fifteen
- 31:44inches by fifteen.
- 31:47It's the smallest it can be.
- 31:52Judy,
- 31:54there was someone in this shot that was
- 31:56using a regular box as well.
- 32:02So, anyway.
- 32:06Okay, I'll leave that go.
- 32:07What else is?
- 32:11So did you put this one here?
- 32:12Who's back in the open after not competing
- 32:14last year?
- 32:15Yeah, Fuliano's back.
- 32:17Saw that today.
- 32:19We saw Pat's back.
- 32:21I just wasn't sure whether you had looked
- 32:23if there was any people that hadn't
- 32:26competed last year that are competing
- 32:29again this year.
- 32:33Yeah.
- 32:34I didn't,
- 32:34I didn't go through and do a full
- 32:35cause it's really hard right now because a
- 32:37lot of the upper elite athletes have not
- 32:41put their score in.
- 32:42Yeah.
- 32:43So it's hard to like get a good
- 32:44sense.
- 32:46Um, there is no, uh, um,
- 32:49at least Elisa Fuliano actually posted on
- 32:52her Instagram that she was going to do
- 32:54the season this year.
- 32:56So I knew she was coming.
- 32:58Um,
- 33:00W.R.M.
- 33:00nineteen twenty two says deck follow to.
- 33:03I guess I'm a loss into would be
- 33:04back.
- 33:08Kenneth says bless you.
- 33:11Thank you.
- 33:17There was something I wanted to hit.
- 33:22Doesn't matter.
- 33:23I guess I lost it.
- 33:24There's so many people in the comments.
- 33:25I am losing track of.
- 33:28them so there we go yeah I think
- 33:32next week we'll talk about who's back
- 33:33because then we'll know like everybody
- 33:35who's posted a score and we can actually
- 33:38do like a pretty good comparison but the
- 33:42one person that got me excited was Tyson
- 33:44Bajent was doing the open at peak three
- 33:47sixty which was awesome as a Bears fan
- 33:51I said to you guys in our text
- 33:53I just hope he doesn't get traded before
- 33:54the end of the open
- 33:56Was there a reason that he was in
- 33:58Miami?
- 33:59Is that where Noah is?
- 34:01Yeah.
- 34:03So I have no idea why he's there.
- 34:06In talks with Miami?
- 34:07I don't know.
- 34:09The rumors of teams I have heard that
- 34:10are interested in him are Arizona,
- 34:12Pittsburgh, Atlanta.
- 34:17As a Bears fan,
- 34:20there's a lot of heat around him as
- 34:23trade bait, so...
- 34:27But the bears said that they're not
- 34:28trading him unless they get like
- 34:29significant assets though.
- 34:31So, and they're not in a rush.
- 34:34Right.
- 34:35Whatever that means.
- 34:36Right.
- 34:38And Ben Johnson does not want to trade
- 34:39him.
- 34:40But if the GM gets the, yeah, it's,
- 34:44I want him to have an opportunity.
- 34:46I do think he's one of the best
- 34:47thirty two quarterbacks in the league.
- 34:49I just want,
- 34:50he's a bear and we need a good
- 34:51backup because if Caleb gets hurt,
- 34:54I don't want the season to be over.
- 34:57The other thing I wanted to bring up
- 34:59is,
- 34:59and we can bring up the leaderboard where
- 35:01it is right now,
- 35:03is our very own chat member is Lido
- 35:09Calagiani, I think.
- 35:12She is currently in tenth place overall.
- 35:19Crushed it.
- 35:21She had an eleven thirty two and she's
- 35:25a master's athlete, folks,
- 35:27master's athlete sitting at tenth place on
- 35:30Sunday night.
- 35:32Um, that is,
- 35:34I got to meet her at the masters
- 35:35games last year.
- 35:36She's been in the chat for a long
- 35:38time.
- 35:39Love her to death.
- 35:39She's a great, cool person.
- 35:41Really cool to see that she has this
- 35:43opportunity to show what she's made of.
- 35:45And, uh,
- 35:46she said when the workout was announced,
- 35:48she loves wall balls and she wasn't lying.
- 35:52Yeah.
- 35:53Crush that.
- 35:56Um,
- 35:57so right now the top score is not
- 35:59right.
- 36:01But we have Marin Mika Levitt from Norway.
- 36:06Ellie Turner sits in third, really second.
- 36:09Olivia Geisthardt in fourth.
- 36:12Carly Stone in fifth.
- 36:13Caitlin Bernadine in sixth,
- 36:15along with Aline Wurz.
- 36:18Nicole Heer, Morgan Theisens,
- 36:23and then Ashley Angle and Lito.
- 36:26So that's where your top ten sits.
- 36:28Annika Greer sits just outside.
- 36:32And I know a lot of you want
- 36:34me to ask Carolyn how she did.
- 36:35Carolyn does not reveal what she did in
- 36:37the open.
- 36:37We won't know until tomorrow night at
- 36:39eight PM.
- 36:42Just so you know.
- 36:44And then on the men's side,
- 36:45if we want to take a quick look,
- 36:47did it switch over?
- 36:48Yeah.
- 36:49Colton is still in the lead.
- 36:51Ryan Haynes in second.
- 36:52Jeffrey Adler posts a third best score.
- 36:56Peter Ellis, Jason Hopper, Casey Strong,
- 36:59Nika Maiseradze, and Travis Mayer,
- 37:04Benjamin Reyes,
- 37:06Noah Olson are your top ten as we
- 37:09speak.
- 37:12So.
- 37:16Peter Benoit says Lauren Weeks is up
- 37:18there.
- 37:19That's a high rock, sir.
- 37:21Yeah.
- 37:21She always does the open,
- 37:23which I don't know why we don't promote
- 37:24that more because she like trains a lot
- 37:26of CrossFit and does the open like every
- 37:28single year.
- 37:29And obviously is one of the best high
- 37:33rocks, high rocks are on the elite.
- 37:36Gabby McGowan posted score.
- 37:39Eleven thirty eight.
- 37:47Looking for Lauren.
- 37:51Not in the top fifty at the moment.
- 37:59Vicky says,
- 38:00can I just point out that athletes
- 38:01trolling Hiller has been fun?
- 38:04Yeah.
- 38:05It is kind of funny that athletes are
- 38:07making shorter videos to troll Hiller and
- 38:15see if he comments on it.
- 38:17lauren weeks is in third now wow it
- 38:20just popped in eleven ten tied with ellie
- 38:22turner awesome i can't the chat's more up
- 38:31to date than we are so all right
- 38:37progress that i think uh miriam is gonna
- 38:41put up such an incredible score i can't
- 38:43wait to see what she does
- 38:46Do you think anybody beats Colton?
- 38:49I think someone can beat Colton.
- 38:52I thought James Sprague had the best
- 38:53chance.
- 38:55Do we know what he got?
- 38:56I don't know.
- 38:58I heard it was just a little bit.
- 39:00His first attempt was not as good as
- 39:02Colton.
- 39:02Okay.
- 39:06Is he redoing it again?
- 39:07I don't know.
- 39:08I don't know.
- 39:09But if he does redo it,
- 39:10I think he has a shot.
- 39:13but that doesn't mean Colton's not going
- 39:14to redo it either.
- 39:15Yeah.
- 39:15Colton could redo it too.
- 39:18If Colton feels like he may have left
- 39:20some stuff on the table and that he
- 39:21could win the workout,
- 39:22I wouldn't be surprised to see him try
- 39:24to do that.
- 39:26Yeah.
- 39:27He, um, he said he got three,
- 39:28no reps on wall balls.
- 39:32So there is room.
- 39:33It's just,
- 39:34do you want to go through all that
- 39:35for three?
- 39:37No reps, you know,
- 39:43Um, on the women's side,
- 39:44you mentioned Miriam Von Rohr.
- 39:46It seems pretty clear in our chat that,
- 39:50that we all think she's going to win
- 39:52on the women's side.
- 39:53She posted, like, it was on her story,
- 39:55and she was doing the fastest wall balls,
- 39:57similar to Colton, and, like,
- 39:59sprinted to her box to do her box
- 40:01jump overs.
- 40:02Her box jump overs were so fast,
- 40:03and I was like, damn.
- 40:05And then she had a little post today
- 40:07that gave us a little background of her
- 40:10and wall balls and how she has, like,
- 40:12the fastest –
- 40:14One hundred and high rocks.
- 40:15Maybe she's done a thousand wall balls for
- 40:17time.
- 40:19She's done in like thirty something
- 40:21minutes.
- 40:21She's done three hundred and fifty
- 40:23unbroken wall balls.
- 40:26Three hundred and fifty unbroken wobbles.
- 40:28That's crazy.
- 40:33So, yeah,
- 40:33looking forward to seeing what is even
- 40:35like humanly possible in this in this
- 40:37workout.
- 40:39There's no doubt in my mind that she's
- 40:41winning it and it's not even going to
- 40:42be close.
- 40:45Uh,
- 40:45Kenneth lab says Scott Tetlow about to
- 40:47shock the world.
- 40:48I don't think so.
- 40:50Scott Tetlow is beat up.
- 40:52There's a reason he had to step back.
- 40:55I don't think, I don't see that happening.
- 40:57I don't think he matches at all.
- 40:58The fitness that Colton is displaying
- 41:00right now.
- 41:04Um, Teresa says page Rogers will do well.
- 41:07She could.
- 41:07I, but I,
- 41:12Miriam Von Rohrer is made for the Open.
- 41:14She's won the Open two straight years.
- 41:16She's super, super fit.
- 41:19And...
- 41:20but she's so impressive like in her just
- 41:25overall abilities.
- 41:26Like her gymnastics is awesome.
- 41:29Like she does some tumbling stuff all the
- 41:31time or on the bars on the monkey
- 41:33bars.
- 41:33Like she's exploring a lot of different
- 41:35avenues and fitness.
- 41:36She competes in weightlifting.
- 41:37She does high rocks.
- 41:39She skis like she's always kind of just
- 41:42active and doing a bunch of things.
- 41:44Um,
- 41:46I think people don't,
- 41:47people see her as just an open athlete.
- 41:50I think she's starting to show that she's
- 41:54going to be competitive,
- 41:55like at the games for the podium.
- 42:00Um,
- 42:02I am not saying she's just an open
- 42:04athlete.
- 42:05I'm just saying she kills the open.
- 42:08She also is great at other rounds of
- 42:10this fitness thing we have now too.
- 42:12And she is going to be a contender
- 42:14at the games.
- 42:14Absolutely.
- 42:16I just,
- 42:16I'm saying that when it comes to the
- 42:18open, she is unbelievable.
- 42:23Um, we have a DBE question.
- 42:25I, I don't see it, but I,
- 42:30There's nobody more talented than Danielle
- 42:33Brandon.
- 42:34This one takes just pure mind game.
- 42:39You have to be in the right frame
- 42:40of mind.
- 42:40I think Danielle's going to do great in
- 42:42this workout.
- 42:43I don't think she beats Miriam.
- 42:46Emily Rolfe will crush this.
- 42:48I'm worried about Emily.
- 42:50I know nothing.
- 42:52Her and I talk, we're friends,
- 42:55but I do not ask her about things
- 42:57because of what got posted last year.
- 42:59She does not have a trust with the
- 43:01media,
- 43:02but she did not finish her last High
- 43:03Rocks individual.
- 43:05I don't know why I have not asked
- 43:08her.
- 43:08I will not ask her.
- 43:11But that makes me nervous going into the
- 43:12open that she may just be trying to
- 43:15get top twenty five percent.
- 43:19sometimes you just have to move on to
- 43:22get a couple more weeks of recovery um
- 43:30so i think that's that um so that
- 43:33that'll be twenty six point one i'm
- 43:35assuming you've already done it are you
- 43:39going to redo it or you're done you're
- 43:41redoing it you always redo it
- 43:47I redo every year.
- 43:49I do it the Friday and I redo
- 43:50it the Monday.
- 43:52I've always done that.
- 43:53To me,
- 43:54I want to try to do the best
- 43:55that I can.
- 43:56There's one year where I didn't redo any
- 43:58of them.
- 43:58One, maybe two years.
- 44:01I think one in twenty twenty two.
- 44:05Maybe I didn't redo.
- 44:07Yeah.
- 44:07Twenty twenty two or twenty twenty one.
- 44:09And then early on in my CrossFit days
- 44:12since then.
- 44:14I like to redo.
- 44:15I like to re-attack it with a different
- 44:17strategy.
- 44:19I just like to start the year with
- 44:21some momentum.
- 44:22Start the year with doing the best I
- 44:27can.
- 44:27Try to finish as high as I can.
- 44:29Now that I have a streak, too,
- 44:31in the Open,
- 44:31I feel like I want to continue that
- 44:34to try to stay top-fifty.
- 44:39We'll see.
- 44:39My legs are still sore.
- 44:40We'll see.
- 44:44Let me ask you this.
- 44:46Do you learn more from your first attempt
- 44:49or do you learn more from watching footage
- 44:52of the other attempt,
- 44:53other people's attempts?
- 44:55Both.
- 44:56I study, like I study other people.
- 44:59I study my own.
- 45:00I have like breakdowns of everything that
- 45:02I did.
- 45:03I'll get mad at myself for some of
- 45:05like the resting or like something that I
- 45:07didn't like or how I broke it and
- 45:10then try to switch it.
- 45:12You video all your open workouts too.
- 45:14So you can look back at them.
- 45:15Yeah.
- 45:16I'm almost every year.
- 45:17I have every one of them that I
- 45:18have to send.
- 45:22A couple of questions for you.
- 45:23Um, do you always improve your score?
- 45:26Carolyn?
- 45:27I'd say ninety nine percent.
- 45:29I think one time I did it.
- 45:32How do you,
- 45:33how do you flush out the soreness?
- 45:38Right now I'm still sore.
- 45:39Um,
- 45:41This weekend I tried getting – so I
- 45:44drank Pedialyte to try to just get –
- 45:46yeah, I'm going to talk about that.
- 45:49I drank some Pedialyte after the workout
- 45:51just to get some electrolytes,
- 45:53and that's not something I have other than
- 45:56in competition sometimes, just to – yeah,
- 45:59just some electrolytes.
- 46:00I went in the hot tub, sauna,
- 46:04tried stretching.
- 46:06I've been starting to do primal mobility.
- 46:09So I've been doing some work there.
- 46:13And then at night,
- 46:14making sure that I'm not skipping my third
- 46:17C, trying to get to bed early.
- 46:18Yeah.
- 46:19So still sore, though.
- 46:22It's a lot of reps, hurts.
- 46:26So we'll see.
- 46:27So typically,
- 46:28because you work out every day or not
- 46:30every day,
- 46:30but like you don't stop working out.
- 46:33Throughout the year.
- 46:35Yeah.
- 46:35You get into something like this.
- 46:36Does the soreness start to go away as
- 46:38you get into the workout or does it,
- 46:41does it compound or does it,
- 46:44I'll get less sore the second time around
- 46:46that I do it than the first time.
- 46:48And like,
- 46:48I can go into a workout sore and
- 46:51then sometimes I almost feel better doing
- 46:54it a little bit sore.
- 46:55Not to the point where like,
- 46:56I can't squat down, but, um, yeah.
- 47:01Yeah.
- 47:03Okay.
- 47:06All right.
- 47:06So let's put a,
- 47:08that's a bow on twenty six point one
- 47:09till we know the final scores of
- 47:11everything,
- 47:13which will be tomorrow night at eight p.m.
- 47:15Eastern time, five p.m.
- 47:16Pacific.
- 47:18But you're already looking ahead to twenty
- 47:20six point two and twenty six point three.
- 47:23And the reason it's both is because you
- 47:26do a vast amount of research using cap
- 47:30generally.
- 47:32But because twenty six point three is
- 47:34being done at Wadapalooza,
- 47:36you have more data points as to what
- 47:39you think are eliminated from twenty six
- 47:42point three,
- 47:43making it a clear crystal ball for twenty
- 47:46six point two.
- 47:48Well,
- 47:49just because I do I I program for
- 47:51my gym, I program for myself.
- 47:53So I do a lot of programming like
- 47:54in general.
- 47:54So I like to look at what I
- 47:57shouldn't be putting around myself.
- 47:59Twenty six point two, I guess.
- 48:02Um, so yes, I took,
- 48:04I took a look at cap week or
- 48:06for the second week of the open.
- 48:07I took a look at cap for week
- 48:09three.
- 48:10I took a look at all the individual
- 48:11workouts for water Palooza.
- 48:15Um, and then just looking for trends.
- 48:18So like on, I got water Palooza.
- 48:22They have like right now,
- 48:23this is the list of the movements that
- 48:25they have wall ball,
- 48:27which is already taken.
- 48:29Robe climbs, won't see that in the open.
- 48:31Row, handstand walk, lunges,
- 48:34dumbbell bench, echo bike, clean and jerk,
- 48:36double unders, hang snatch, bar complex.
- 48:38So you have toes to bars,
- 48:39chest to bars,
- 48:40and bar muscle up is there on week
- 48:42three for them.
- 48:43And then sandbag squats and burpees.
- 48:46They're not doing the sand run yet.
- 48:50but the other divisions are doing,
- 48:52which could leave shuttle runs there on
- 48:54the table for week three.
- 48:56But some of those movements can now appear
- 48:58in week two.
- 48:59And then when you start looking at week
- 49:00two cap and what's programmed the day
- 49:02before and day after,
- 49:04like the day before twenty six point two,
- 49:06you have wall walks and running,
- 49:09which kind of takes away the running on
- 49:11that
- 49:12week two and the day after has hang
- 49:14power clean row box jumps and more rowing.
- 49:17So that's two weeks in a row that
- 49:19rowing is surrounded by the open release.
- 49:22So I don't think that we're seeing rowing
- 49:24this year, which could be cool.
- 49:26Cause we've been talking about the
- 49:27machines and maybe they don't put the row
- 49:29this year.
- 49:31Um,
- 49:31They have some pressing around week two.
- 49:34So I think it's going to be double
- 49:36unders on week two with a hanging
- 49:39gymnastics.
- 49:40So it could be toes to bars,
- 49:41chest to bars, bar muscle ups.
- 49:44And then, yeah, double unders.
- 49:46And then maybe a barbell from the floor
- 49:47like a snatch.
- 49:48They have hang cleans twice that week.
- 49:50So I just don't see us going in
- 49:52that front rack position.
- 49:53I think it's going to go into a
- 49:55snatch.
- 49:55And I think that could be a good
- 49:56workout.
- 49:57You could put ring muscle ups there.
- 49:59What a blues that don't have ring muscle
- 50:01ups in either individuals or teams.
- 50:04So I don't think that you, um,
- 50:09maybe we don't see ring muscle ups on
- 50:10week three.
- 50:10You could see them on week two with
- 50:12some hanging gymnastics,
- 50:13double unders snatching.
- 50:16You could put deadlift there too.
- 50:18On week three for waterpalooza,
- 50:22there's no inverted.
- 50:24There's handstand walk,
- 50:25but there's no handstand pushups or wall
- 50:27walks there.
- 50:29So those could be options on week three.
- 50:33But yeah,
- 50:35so I just started looking at like,
- 50:37you're just kind of placing things
- 50:40Um, most likely no, no rowing,
- 50:42just looking off.
- 50:43I mean,
- 50:43you assume that cap knows the workouts,
- 50:45water Palooza knows the workouts.
- 50:47You just kind of look ahead.
- 50:50So do you have a prediction for?
- 50:52Double-unders hanging gymnastics and a
- 50:57barbell from the floor,
- 50:58like a snatch or a deadlift.
- 51:01So like hanging,
- 51:02hanging gymnastics could be there.
- 51:04Um, burpee row week three.
- 51:10No,
- 51:10I don't think burpee and rope water blues.
- 51:12It has burpee over the logs and they
- 51:14have rowing in one of the workouts.
- 51:16I don't think that you'll see that.
- 51:18You could put burpee in week two though.
- 51:22If you wanted,
- 51:23you have wall walks the day before,
- 51:24but I think you can throw up burpees
- 51:25in there.
- 51:26If you wanted,
- 51:30you could put thrusters on week three,
- 51:31which I don't know if you had to
- 51:33pick a hanging gymnastics move for two.
- 51:36I think toast to bars is going in
- 51:37there for sure.
- 51:39I think toast to bar and then deadlift.
- 51:44Yeah.
- 51:44Double unders, toast to bars.
- 51:46I still think that I heard something
- 51:48about,
- 51:48there's going to be like something like
- 51:50magical for week two for either of the
- 51:53athletes.
- 51:53So either there's a max lift after,
- 51:56or maybe people get their first ring or
- 51:58bar muscle up or something like that.
- 52:03The question is one rep max this year.
- 52:05No.
- 52:06it could just be a certain weight at
- 52:07max reps for a certain amount of time
- 52:09too.
- 52:09I don't know.
- 52:12Or a three rep or do you think
- 52:15there's any relevancy to the judge's
- 52:19course having a bench press?
- 52:22No, I think that's recorders.
- 52:24I think you could see a,
- 52:25a bench press with a pulling movement,
- 52:28whether, whether it's a vertical with a,
- 52:30with a rope climb or you they've,
- 52:34they've done before bench and row it with
- 52:36shuttle runs.
- 52:37And they've done before bench with rowing.
- 52:42And they've done bench and rope climbs in
- 52:43shuttle and then bench and rowing before.
- 52:46So they typically like to put a bench
- 52:47with a pulling movement.
- 52:48So I think you'll see that in quarters.
- 52:52CJ says the bench would completely
- 52:53dismantle logistics and gyms.
- 52:57I get it.
- 53:00And it probably cuts your heat sizes down.
- 53:04For sure.
- 53:06In a gym.
- 53:06So it probably is more appropriate for
- 53:08quarters.
- 53:09And that's actually the person that
- 53:11brought that up to me last week.
- 53:12I actually said that exact same thing.
- 53:13So you actually just echoed what I had
- 53:16told them.
- 53:18What's your prediction then for twenty six
- 53:20three?
- 53:21And we'll see if that changes next week
- 53:23after we see what twenty six two is.
- 53:25You could see running.
- 53:28Because the individuals aren't doing the
- 53:30beach run, I wonder...
- 53:32And all the other divisions are doing it.
- 53:34I don't know.
- 53:34You could see running.
- 53:36Handstand push-ups could be there in week
- 53:39three.
- 53:41It's hard to imagine without thrusters.
- 53:45Open without thrusters.
- 53:47And they don't...
- 53:48Wadapalooza doesn't have thrusters now.
- 53:49Do I want to see thrusters after all
- 53:51these wall balls?
- 53:52No.
- 53:53But...
- 53:56it's a movement that's on the table for
- 53:58week three right now for water Palooza.
- 54:00Like right now you're missing wall walks,
- 54:02handstand pushups, ring muscle ups,
- 54:04deadlift thrusters,
- 54:05any type of like farmer carry overhead
- 54:08squat running for, um,
- 54:12what a Palooza dumbbell movement as well.
- 54:16Do you think because of the volume of
- 54:17wall ball shots that thrusters may be off
- 54:19the table?
- 54:20I think it could be, should be.
- 54:24I think in a three workout,
- 54:25you don't need that same muscle,
- 54:26like that same pattern.
- 54:29Uh,
- 54:29CJ says thrusters have missed the open
- 54:31before it's been a while,
- 54:32but they have double under is the only
- 54:35movement to never not make the open.
- 54:37Yeah, I think,
- 54:38I think you're seeing double under this
- 54:39week for sure.
- 54:41For sure.
- 54:45Max O'Malley, ninety four,
- 54:47twenty three point two burpee pull up
- 54:49shuttle had Cindy the Sunday prior
- 54:53weighted pull ups of the Tuesday prior and
- 54:56pull ups again the Sunday after.
- 55:02I think pull ups are that.
- 55:04Yeah.
- 55:07I've been around Carolyn for a couple of
- 55:08years now.
- 55:09She's not very wrong.
- 55:13No, I can be,
- 55:14I'm just looking at like what's around the
- 55:17workouts.
- 55:19I mean, even on week three,
- 55:20like two days after they have strict
- 55:24handstand pushups,
- 55:24they have a bunch of push,
- 55:27like handstand walk,
- 55:28strict handstand pushups.
- 55:29So then I'm like, okay,
- 55:30maybe we don't go inverted in the open.
- 55:32So it's hard.
- 55:34I don't know.
- 55:37Uh,
- 55:37Katie L says no one is screaming for
- 55:38a dumbbell in a week, two or three.
- 55:40Uh, no,
- 55:41I think people are sick of the dumbbell
- 55:42for a minute.
- 55:46Although it like dumbbell snatches are a
- 55:48good movement.
- 55:49It's, it is a good test of fitness.
- 55:52Um, so, uh,
- 55:57Fergie says dubs are kryptonite for
- 55:59heavier athlete.
- 55:59There's a lot of kryptonite for heavier
- 56:00athletes.
- 56:01Fergie, I can attest.

- 57:29you going to get your l-four
- 57:33I don't know,
- 57:34but just today I sent an application for
- 57:38seminar staff.
- 57:41There you go.
- 57:43And you don't have to be an L-IV
- 57:44to be seminar staff.
- 57:46You need an L-III.
- 57:48And you, as your nameplate says,
- 57:51are a current L-III.
- 57:56So we will see.
- 57:57I don't know what that entails and how
- 57:59busy that gets or if I were to
- 58:02be given that opportunity,
- 58:03but I filled out the application today.
- 58:10Could people take a second,
- 58:11like and subscribe,
- 58:12support the show for free?
- 58:13Yes.
- 58:18Trina says that's awesome.
- 58:22And CrossFit said it used to be,
- 58:23had to be an L one and no
- 58:25life commitment because you were traveling
- 58:28the world.
- 58:30Uh, if you were seminar staff,
- 58:31would you still teach?
- 58:34Uh, right now?
- 58:34Yes.
- 58:35I don't know, again,
- 58:36what that would entail, how,
- 58:39how busy it is,
- 58:40how often there's a lot of factors that
- 58:42would need to come and play for me
- 58:44to give up my teaching job.
- 58:46Um, but like I grew up watching.
- 58:49you know,
- 58:50the games athletes be a part of the
- 58:52seminar staff.
- 58:53And I love teaching.
- 58:57I love coaching.
- 58:58Yeah.
- 59:00When I got my L three,
- 59:01like it's something that crossed my mind
- 59:03to want to be on the staff.
- 59:05Like as soon as I took my L
- 59:06two, like I just,
- 59:07I like learning about CrossFit.
- 59:08I love the methodology.
- 59:10And I think it's a great way to
- 59:12continue to share how,
- 59:14like share your experiences with other
- 59:16people, help,
- 59:18you know grow crossfit worldwide and yeah
- 59:21that would be i think it'd be cool
- 59:24so cool judy says be a loss for
- 59:26your school but an amazing opportunity
- 59:28yeah and again she has not said make
- 59:33it clear she has not said she's leaving
- 59:34her teaching position i don't know how it
- 59:37works but it's on weekends they it's
- 59:39saturday sundays i don't again i don't
- 59:41know how it works i just filled out
- 59:43the application and we'll see what that
- 59:45means
- 59:48John George,
- 59:48the world needs you to keep teaching kids
- 59:50the importance of health and healthy
- 59:51habits.
- 59:52I teach the methodology often,
- 59:55almost every day in the fitness class that
- 59:57I have.
- 59:59And if you don't know,
- 1:00:01if you have not been listening to this
- 1:00:02show for a long time,
- 1:00:03Carolyn has an affiliate inside of her
- 1:00:05school.
- 1:00:07That is one of the coolest things I
- 1:00:09think that Carolyn does for her community.
- 1:00:12And that is that they have an actual
- 1:00:14CrossFit affiliate inside of her school.
- 1:00:17Year seven.
- 1:00:20That's awesome.
- 1:00:23Awesome.
- 1:00:25So we're going to take a step back
- 1:00:27from the open and something new was
- 1:00:30announced at the end of last week.
- 1:00:33And that is a new fitness competition
- 1:00:37called the decathlon of fitness called
- 1:00:41Xenom.
- 1:00:43And it is ten events over two days.
- 1:00:47And you are really,
- 1:00:49really excited about this.
- 1:00:52And we're going to talk about it next.
- 1:00:53So what were your initial thoughts when
- 1:00:55you saw this?
- 1:00:57Well, it's,
- 1:00:58it's also partnered with CrossFit.
- 1:01:01So they can use like the word CrossFit.
- 1:01:04It's a CrossFit.
- 1:01:05Is it sanctioned or something?
- 1:01:06or partnered.
- 1:01:09I think, I think it's awesome.
- 1:01:12I think we need to have some sort
- 1:01:14of, I think it's in the community.
- 1:01:17It's nice to have a standardized test that
- 1:01:19can be done worldwide.
- 1:01:20Like, yeah,
- 1:01:21we do benchmark workouts that we can
- 1:01:22compare,
- 1:01:23but like not everyone has all the scores
- 1:01:24all the time and in person.
- 1:01:27So the open is something that we all
- 1:01:28do as a community online.
- 1:01:30And I still think there's space for
- 1:01:32something like this.
- 1:01:34to, you know, bring people to an,
- 1:01:37it's almost like a regional, but it's, um,
- 1:01:42CrossFit events.
- 1:01:43That's going to be standardized.
- 1:01:44People can train for it and,
- 1:01:46and show up in different divisions.
- 1:01:48And I just think it's a great idea.
- 1:01:50I love their scoring system that you can
- 1:01:51get a certain amount of points and then
- 1:01:53you can kind of determine what type of
- 1:01:54athlete you are.
- 1:01:55Like you're, you know,
- 1:01:56a seven thousand or seven hundred or
- 1:01:59however many points that they have,
- 1:02:00but yeah.
- 1:02:01Um, I think it's great.
- 1:02:02And I think it's also going to draw
- 1:02:03people back into the affiliates because if
- 1:02:05you want to do well there,
- 1:02:07it's not just a specializing specialist in
- 1:02:10running and in slides.
- 1:02:12Like you're going to have to know how
- 1:02:14to snatch.
- 1:02:14You're going to have to learn how to
- 1:02:15do muscle ups, um,
- 1:02:17and other types of things.
- 1:02:18So I think it's,
- 1:02:19it's actually great for CrossFit and it's
- 1:02:21a cool competition.
- 1:02:23Now I hope that it works.
- 1:02:25Um,
- 1:02:26I don't know how they're going to find
- 1:02:27that many judges to,
- 1:02:28to go through all those heats.
- 1:02:35It sounds great.
- 1:02:36So the founder was on Peter's podcast last
- 1:02:39week.
- 1:02:40He said on that show,
- 1:02:43you need to do CrossFit to train for
- 1:02:45this event.
- 1:02:46Absolutely.
- 1:02:47Like flat out.
- 1:02:48That is what this is for.
- 1:02:50He says that we've lost that.
- 1:02:52It's cool to be a CrossFitter thing.
- 1:02:55And he wanted to create an environment for
- 1:02:59the community to be able to brag about
- 1:03:02that we are CrossFitters and we can do
- 1:03:04this.
- 1:03:06And that's what this is really about.
- 1:03:08And they've announced a couple of the
- 1:03:09events already.
- 1:03:13Event one is a one rep max snatch.
- 1:03:16You have nine minutes to establish one
- 1:03:18rep, four attempts,
- 1:03:19one attempt every ninety seconds.
- 1:03:24Event five is a three K chip time
- 1:03:28run straight into a two K echo ski.
- 1:03:35There is trying to go back here.
- 1:03:39Here we go.
- 1:03:40And then the other mixed modality event is
- 1:03:44three rounds, fifteen toes to bar,
- 1:03:46fifteen dual dumbbell hang snatch into ten
- 1:03:49bar muscle ups with then max ring muscle
- 1:03:52ups.
- 1:03:53Time cap seven minutes.
- 1:03:55So this is all stuff we do in
- 1:03:57the CrossFit gym.
- 1:03:59All of it.
- 1:04:00And I love that they're pairing with
- 1:04:02Rogue,
- 1:04:03partnering with Rogue and CrossFit
- 1:04:05together is huge.
- 1:04:08Now it's just execution.
- 1:04:11And he said on the podcast how easy
- 1:04:13it was to work with, you know,
- 1:04:14Katie and Bill and even CrossFit,
- 1:04:17how they were very helpful and supportive
- 1:04:19of this whole initiative.
- 1:04:22Like he really wanted to double down on
- 1:04:23that and mention that.
- 1:04:28Did they say that Xenon means what it
- 1:04:30means or where it came from?
- 1:04:32Or is it completely random like clock
- 1:04:34cutter?
- 1:04:35I think it's not random,
- 1:04:36but doesn't necessarily have a meaning.
- 1:04:39It is ten events.
- 1:04:41The Rome, the...
- 1:04:43Roman numeral for ten is X.
- 1:04:46So I think that that's why it starts
- 1:04:47with X.
- 1:04:49You'd have to ask them what it means.
- 1:04:51I don't know.
- 1:04:52But I'm betting that that is kind of
- 1:04:54the logic behind why it starts with an
- 1:04:57X because it is a decathlon of fitness.
- 1:05:02And I like that.
- 1:05:03People can be like, oh,
- 1:05:03I'm competing in the decathlon of fitness.
- 1:05:07When we say we're competing at the
- 1:05:10CrossFit Games, people know what,
- 1:05:11in general,
- 1:05:12a lot of people know what that is.
- 1:05:13Or going for the title of fittest on
- 1:05:15earth.
- 1:05:15If you're going for the strongman,
- 1:05:17you know what that is.
- 1:05:18That's where I talked about the name
- 1:05:19for...
- 1:05:21like WFP like I didn't love the name
- 1:05:23like World Fitness Project versus like the
- 1:05:26World Fitness League or something I think
- 1:05:29this like I almost wish it was called
- 1:05:31the Decathlon of Fitness or I mean maybe
- 1:05:34the name will pick up though Xenon I'm
- 1:05:38sure it will like High Rocks did your
- 1:05:46thing come off yeah your cast okay yeah
- 1:05:50No, I'm excited for it.
- 1:05:51I think it's very ambitious to have ten
- 1:05:56or eleven events in their very first year.
- 1:05:58So clearly they have a lot of backing
- 1:06:01financially to do this.
- 1:06:04The first one's in Dallas, I believe,
- 1:06:07end of June.
- 1:06:09So people that are competing at the Games
- 1:06:11in July,
- 1:06:12it still gives them about a month.
- 1:06:13I don't know if anyone would do that
- 1:06:15one.
- 1:06:17But you're going to get a lot of
- 1:06:18interest.
- 1:06:18I think the first two hundred and fifty
- 1:06:20people get a free in and it's like
- 1:06:22five hundred bucks to sign up for it.
- 1:06:25But yeah, I mean,
- 1:06:28pretty cool that they're going in.
- 1:06:30It's where the Dallas Cowboys play,
- 1:06:32I think, like or practice back.
- 1:06:34It's the it's the Cowboys practice
- 1:06:37facility facility, which is cool.
- 1:06:40Yeah.
- 1:06:40I mean, they're going big right away.
- 1:06:42Like they're not starting small.
- 1:06:44They're going all in.
- 1:06:47So we'll see if the fitness land, uh,
- 1:06:50fitness space supports it and we'll show
- 1:06:54up and how big it gets.
- 1:06:56The one thing I want to say is
- 1:06:57I hear,
- 1:06:58I see stuff in the comments about WFP.
- 1:07:00What this is,
- 1:07:01is it's different than the CrossFit games.
- 1:07:02It's not trying to compete with,
- 1:07:04it's trying to be different than,
- 1:07:07and the fact that it's even designed in
- 1:07:10a different way is cool that it's
- 1:07:12different because
- 1:07:13And I like that.
- 1:07:15And so I think that's important.
- 1:07:19One, they're not trying to compete with.
- 1:07:21They're trying to be a partner of,
- 1:07:23and they're trying to do it in conjunction
- 1:07:25with.
- 1:07:26And I think that is a major factor
- 1:07:28in the hopeful success of this event
- 1:07:32compared to WFP.
- 1:07:33I think that WFP had some good ideas.
- 1:07:35It just wasn't executed the way it needed
- 1:07:38to be.
- 1:07:39Right now,
- 1:07:39it doesn't have a finals for the first
- 1:07:42year anyways.
- 1:07:43It's just kind of like you're going to
- 1:07:44get your score, your performance score,
- 1:07:47and going to be able to compare.
- 1:07:48But I'm sure in the upcoming years,
- 1:07:51if it's successful,
- 1:07:53that they'll have some sort of elite
- 1:07:56division or finals of the top scores of
- 1:07:58the year.
- 1:08:00That's almost guaranteed.
- 1:08:01I would assume that that would happen
- 1:08:03eventually.
- 1:08:06trying to see a lot of people saying
- 1:08:07they hate the name if it turns out
- 1:08:09to be a cool event who cares if
- 1:08:12it's a cool event they're going to figure
- 1:08:14the name doesn't matter people are going
- 1:08:17to watch if it turns out to be
- 1:08:19a cool community event where people can go
- 1:08:21hang out and play for two days and
- 1:08:24show off what they know now it's a
- 1:08:26mass participatory event
- 1:08:30for CrossFitters in person, which is cool.
- 1:08:33But the standard to compete is definitely
- 1:08:37significantly higher than High Rocks.
- 1:08:40The High Rocks is going to be more
- 1:08:43popular just for the fact that
- 1:08:46way more people can just run and do
- 1:08:48those stations.
- 1:08:49It's in terms of the skill required to
- 1:08:54finish a high rock series.
- 1:08:56Like even though that there's different
- 1:08:58scale divisions, I believe are like elite.
- 1:09:01There was maybe RX and competitive or
- 1:09:04something or compete in Xenon.
- 1:09:09I still think that you need some sort
- 1:09:10of baseline skill
- 1:09:14CrossFit experience to participate.
- 1:09:16So in that way,
- 1:09:18it's a little bit more handcuffed than a
- 1:09:20high rock.
- 1:09:20So I'm not sure how big it'll grow
- 1:09:24in comparison to high rocks and the speed
- 1:09:26that that has grown in the last few
- 1:09:28years, specifically in like North America,
- 1:09:31because it was getting big high rocks in
- 1:09:34Europe.
- 1:09:34And then it's just now entering North
- 1:09:37America and it blew up.
- 1:09:41Um, clock cutter, Nike.
- 1:09:43Oh no.
- 1:09:45Uh, CrossFit Nike sounded weird at first.
- 1:09:48If you watch the movie air,
- 1:09:50Phil Knight hated Nike.
- 1:09:52He hated that.
- 1:09:53Doesn't hate it now,
- 1:09:55but when they first came up with it,
- 1:09:57he did.
- 1:09:58Um,
- 1:10:00didn't people laugh at the CrossFit name
- 1:10:02back in the day?
- 1:10:03I'm sure.
- 1:10:06Yeah.
- 1:10:06I mean, in like high rocks,
- 1:10:07like when we first heard it,
- 1:10:08like we didn't know what that was.
- 1:10:09Now it's clicky.
- 1:10:10Now people know what it is.
- 1:10:11People can associate that race with it.
- 1:10:14I'm sure if Xenon blows up and does
- 1:10:17well,
- 1:10:18people eventually know what that name is.
- 1:10:22Uh,
- 1:10:24been in a twenty eight to six.
- 1:10:26I would love to see this succeed,
- 1:10:28but the higher barrier to entry and the
- 1:10:29five hundred price point is really going
- 1:10:31to limit participation.
- 1:10:32I don't think they're looking for every
- 1:10:34CrossFitter to do this in year one.
- 1:10:36This is a proof of concept.
- 1:10:38And I'm I have not competed locally in
- 1:10:41probably five or six years when I was
- 1:10:45it was one hundred and fifty to two
- 1:10:46hundred dollars to do a local comp just
- 1:10:49like five or six years ago.
- 1:10:52And so I think that it's for the
- 1:10:55higher end athletes who have aspirations
- 1:10:58to see what they can do on a
- 1:10:59global scale.
- 1:11:01It's.
- 1:11:02Five hundred dollars is nothing.
- 1:11:05Not nothing, but not as bad,
- 1:11:06not as big of a barrier as you
- 1:11:08think.
- 1:11:08I think I still think it's pretty
- 1:11:10expensive.
- 1:11:12I mean, I think semifinals is expensive.
- 1:11:14Like they used to be like two hundred
- 1:11:15and now they're over four hundred.
- 1:11:17Every one of them.
- 1:11:18But what what is the marathon now?
- 1:11:21I don't know.
- 1:11:22I've never ran anything.
- 1:11:23I don't know.
- 1:11:28Peter Benoit says,
- 1:11:29High Rocks is easier to commit to.
- 1:11:31Like signing up for a five K,
- 1:11:32just show up and do it.
- 1:11:33Multi-day events require much more
- 1:11:35commitment,
- 1:11:35but of course that's what CrossFitters do.
- 1:11:38Your last phrase is what this is about.
- 1:11:41It's not about the easy thing to do.
- 1:11:44It's about to prove that you're one of
- 1:11:45the cool guys again.
- 1:11:47That is what the founder said.
- 1:11:50Those were the exact words he used.
- 1:11:54Hopefully they have taken the long-running
- 1:11:56local comps into their planning.
- 1:11:58Weekends are at a premium for those who
- 1:12:00compete a lot.
- 1:12:04Knowing the numbers you need makes it
- 1:12:06easier to train for.
- 1:12:07I think that's good too.
- 1:12:09Yeah,
- 1:12:09because the way that they're doing their
- 1:12:11scoring, there's like a standard...
- 1:12:13score for each test and then from there
- 1:12:17let's say you deviate you're faster or you
- 1:12:20have more reps or heavier weight you get
- 1:12:23let's say a thousand points for this test
- 1:12:26is the standard you get above you get
- 1:12:28a certain amount you lose a certain amount
- 1:12:30of points if you're lower than that score
- 1:12:32and then you add all ten scores together
- 1:12:35for your total
- 1:12:37Right.
- 1:12:38So it's not based on how others do
- 1:12:40compared to you.
- 1:12:41It's how you do against.
- 1:12:42It's like par in golf.
- 1:12:45You either do better than that and you
- 1:12:47get birdies and eagles or you get worse
- 1:12:49than that and you get bogeys and whatever.
- 1:12:57Yeah.
- 1:12:58Vicky said Boston Marathon is two sixty.
- 1:13:01And that you just run.
- 1:13:06So Judy says we'll be great for local
- 1:13:09community and economy,
- 1:13:10a hotel stays people eating at restaurants
- 1:13:13and attractions.
- 1:13:16You got to start somewhere.
- 1:13:18You've got to see what it,
- 1:13:19what the signups are like.
- 1:13:21If they sell out,
- 1:13:22we're all going to be like, I guess,
- 1:13:24wasn't a limiting factor.
- 1:13:25I just think it's crazy.
- 1:13:26They're doing in the first year.
- 1:13:28Like that's,
- 1:13:29that's a lot of competitions to put
- 1:13:31together for your first time, Paris,
- 1:13:34Dallas,
- 1:13:36London and one in the UK, I think.
- 1:13:39Yeah.
- 1:13:40And then I think they just announced
- 1:13:41Brisbane, Australia.
- 1:13:44So it's all over the world.
- 1:13:46Like,
- 1:13:47and they're only taking two thousand per
- 1:13:49event.
- 1:13:50Like the Boston Marathon takes way more
- 1:13:52than that.
- 1:13:54Like,
- 1:13:54so it's going to be like supply and
- 1:13:59demand.
- 1:14:01There's not going to be a lot of
- 1:14:02supply for these tickets because
- 1:14:05If there's only one in the UK,
- 1:14:09that's your only opportunity.
- 1:14:11If there's only one in Australia,
- 1:14:12that's your only opportunity.
- 1:14:14So I think that's where they have a
- 1:14:16little bit of an upper hand.
- 1:14:17All right, let's finish up with some news.
- 1:14:25Ariel Owen wins the Rancher Strong
- 1:14:29competition for the second year in a row.
- 1:14:32It looked like the event was a little
- 1:14:34bit different than last year,
- 1:14:36the actual race through everything.
- 1:14:40But she ended up winning again.
- 1:14:41Again,
- 1:14:41it was a mixed bag of who was
- 1:14:43there, like American Ninja Warriors,
- 1:14:48like Spartan Racers,
- 1:14:49Obstacle Course Racers,
- 1:14:51all that kind of thing.
- 1:14:53She ended up winning for the women for
- 1:14:54the second year in a row.
- 1:14:57She really did show off.
- 1:15:00Yeah, like an e-bike?
- 1:15:02Some sort.
- 1:15:02Yeah.
- 1:15:03Of some sort.
- 1:15:04Um, I feel like, uh, last year she,
- 1:15:07she won a four wheeler or like a
- 1:15:11golf cart or something.
- 1:15:12I don't know what she went like a
- 1:15:14Gator, a Gator maybe.
- 1:15:16Yeah.
- 1:15:16I feel like Dylan's like,
- 1:15:17you're signing up for this.
- 1:15:18We're getting all these toys.
- 1:15:19Yeah.
- 1:15:20It looks like they're treated well when
- 1:15:21they're there too.
- 1:15:22Absolutely.
- 1:15:23Yeah.
- 1:15:24Yeah.
- 1:15:24So that's cool.
- 1:15:25So congratulations to her.
- 1:15:27Um, the new documentary drops on Tuesday.
- 1:15:31Fittest on Earth, twenty twenty five.
- 1:15:33From everything that I have heard,
- 1:15:36it is really, really good.
- 1:15:41I've talked to a few people who got
- 1:15:42to go to the premiere and they said
- 1:15:44it is a little bit different than past
- 1:15:47years and it's really, really well done.
- 1:15:50So I'm excited to see that.
- 1:15:52I'll try to watch that as quickly as
- 1:15:54I can when it comes out on Tuesday.
- 1:15:57But I do have a job.
- 1:15:59So I'll have to figure that out.
- 1:16:03And then this week,
- 1:16:04WFP made the decision to move Tour Stop
- 1:16:06One from Mexico City to the UK.
- 1:16:12Probably a smart move.
- 1:16:13I know for them to do that in
- 1:16:15one week,
- 1:16:16the logistics behind that had to be crazy.
- 1:16:19And the fact they were able to pull
- 1:16:20it off.
- 1:16:22I think a lot of Europeans that were
- 1:16:25maybe hesitant to...
- 1:16:28go to Mexico and travel during you know
- 1:16:31semi-final time and stuff like that you
- 1:16:34know you're gonna see people obviously
- 1:16:36that we're looking forward to Mexico maybe
- 1:16:38not come but I think there's gonna be
- 1:16:39more people especially Europeans that will
- 1:16:42sign up now now that it's uh in
- 1:16:44the UK like I think this is actually
- 1:16:47a better location for um the athletes that
- 1:16:52are looking to do the WFP season
- 1:16:54And they did extend the qualifier an
- 1:16:56additional week to let other people do it.
- 1:17:00So that was good of them to do
- 1:17:01that.
- 1:17:02And before I get to the last bit
- 1:17:03of news, I see her in the chat.
- 1:17:10Holly Dugan,
- 1:17:11our stats and information person,
- 1:17:13is flat out amazing.
- 1:17:16What she is putting out this week for
- 1:17:18Masters athletes is above and beyond
- 1:17:21anything I have ever imagined that our
- 1:17:24partnership would bring to this Instagram
- 1:17:26channel and YouTube channel.
- 1:17:29I think I have some of it up.
- 1:17:30I'm going to bring one of the examples
- 1:17:32up.
- 1:17:33She has been working so hard this weekend.
- 1:17:36And I'm a very protective person in life
- 1:17:41general of my family.
- 1:17:43And so this is something she has done.
- 1:17:47She put out this Masters RX Man,
- 1:17:51thirty five to thirty nine.
- 1:17:52This is only people who have submitted an
- 1:17:54RX score so that they know where they
- 1:17:58kind of fall percentile wise in the RX
- 1:18:01division of these age groups.
- 1:18:04And she has a card for every single
- 1:18:07age group.
- 1:18:09And then just keeps updating them
- 1:18:11throughout the weekend.
- 1:18:13While everything is live and moving,
- 1:18:16as a stats person,
- 1:18:17to do that with a moving target is
- 1:18:20so difficult.
- 1:18:22And she has done a cut line for
- 1:18:24every age group to make your top twenty
- 1:18:26five percent where you need to be,
- 1:18:29what the reps are at the cut line.
- 1:18:31So you know what you have to beat
- 1:18:33to get over it.
- 1:18:35This this is stuff that just isn't done
- 1:18:37anywhere else.
- 1:18:38And she.
- 1:18:41She is killing it.
- 1:18:42And there are so many people commenting
- 1:18:44and wanting more.
- 1:18:46This girl donates her time.
- 1:18:50Just understand that.
- 1:18:53John George,
- 1:18:53it is on both DataWad's Instagram and
- 1:18:56Clydesdale Media's Instagram.
- 1:18:58You can find all of these.
- 1:19:01She has adaptive athletes.
- 1:19:02She has teen athletes.
- 1:19:04She has master's athletes.
- 1:19:07She has cut lines.
- 1:19:08She has percentages.
- 1:19:10You name it,
- 1:19:11she has put together data in all of
- 1:19:14those age groups that nobody else is
- 1:19:16covering.
- 1:19:17Everybody covers the elite.
- 1:19:20Holly is doing all of this other stuff.
- 1:19:23For divisions that don't get all this
- 1:19:27attention.
- 1:19:28And she is killing it.
- 1:19:29Knocking it out of the park.
- 1:19:31Please go give her a follow.
- 1:19:33Please tell her how much you love her
- 1:19:34in the comments.
- 1:19:37Because she is really knocking it out of
- 1:19:39the park this weekend.
- 1:19:42And if you see leaderboards from us at
- 1:19:44every competition we go to, games, semis,
- 1:19:48Wadapalooza, you name it,
- 1:19:50all of those leaderboards are done by
- 1:19:51Holly.
- 1:19:52Mm-hmm.
- 1:19:53All of them.
- 1:19:54And some of them are so hard to
- 1:19:56find and then I just go,
- 1:19:57I just know where to go.
- 1:19:58I'm like, okay, Dattawad.
- 1:19:59And then that's where people go to find
- 1:20:02their leaderboard.
- 1:20:03She gets it fast.
- 1:20:05She is flat out amazing.
- 1:20:08Flat out amazing.
- 1:20:10And so I just want to give her
- 1:20:11some love and flowers and all of that
- 1:20:13stuff because I could not appreciate her
- 1:20:16being a part of our family any more
- 1:20:19than I do because she is just flat
- 1:20:21out amazing.
- 1:20:23And she surprises me with the wildest
- 1:20:25stats and information.
- 1:20:28She's the one that put out information on
- 1:20:29every single semifinal with all the
- 1:20:32information about that semifinal in a
- 1:20:35working document and shared that link with
- 1:20:37the world.
- 1:20:42She is a must follow on Instagram.
- 1:20:44You have to go follow her.
- 1:20:46Flat out.
- 1:20:50All right,
- 1:20:51let's finish up with the last thing on
- 1:20:53the agenda,
- 1:20:53and that is it was announced this week
- 1:20:56that the three girls, Alexis Raptus,
- 1:21:00Fisa Goffey, and Alex Gazan,
- 1:21:03are going to start their own podcast.
- 1:21:06I'm assuming that after the success of
- 1:21:09Boys Interrupted,
- 1:21:12they saw an opportunity in the space that
- 1:21:14isn't already there.
- 1:21:16And so they are going to start...
- 1:21:19Um,
- 1:21:19they're going to start their own podcast
- 1:21:21on Thursday nights.
- 1:21:23They don't know what they're going to call
- 1:21:24it.
- 1:21:25They don't know what it's going to be
- 1:21:27all about,
- 1:21:27but they're just going to start doing it
- 1:21:28on Thursday nights.
- 1:21:31What are your thoughts on that?
- 1:21:32Carolyn?
- 1:21:33I think it's great.
- 1:21:34I think, um, you know,
- 1:21:36they're going to be probably inviting some
- 1:21:38athletes, discuss different things.
- 1:21:41Um,
- 1:21:42people that are fans of the sport get
- 1:21:44to see, um, you know,
- 1:21:46some of their favorite athletes on a
- 1:21:47podcast, what, you know,
- 1:21:49just chatting about whatever.
- 1:21:50And you, you get,
- 1:21:51sometimes you get a different perspective
- 1:21:53of, um,
- 1:21:54what they're going through or things that
- 1:21:55are just happening in the space.
- 1:21:57And,
- 1:21:58and any content is normally pretty good
- 1:22:00content.
- 1:22:02So we've seen it from the boys,
- 1:22:04just curious to see the personality that
- 1:22:06will, you know, maybe come out here from,
- 1:22:11from the girl's side and just how that
- 1:22:13could possibly develop into something.
- 1:22:15I think, I think it's cool.
- 1:22:18We don't have anything right now like
- 1:22:20that.
- 1:22:21What I love about the boys is that
- 1:22:23they are very open and transparent about
- 1:22:26all the stuff that they're going through,
- 1:22:28what they're involved in,
- 1:22:30what it's like to be on that side
- 1:22:32of everything.
- 1:22:33And I hope that the girls are that
- 1:22:35transparent as well.
- 1:22:37Because honestly, in the space,
- 1:22:39it's hard to find that on the female
- 1:22:41side.
- 1:22:42The females seem to be much more guarded
- 1:22:44and much more close to the vest with
- 1:22:46what they're doing.
- 1:22:47And I hope that...
- 1:22:48And I know Fi pretty well.
- 1:22:50I know Alex pretty well.
- 1:22:52I don't know Alexis as much.
- 1:22:53But Fi and Alex are probably about as
- 1:22:56open as you get in the female space.
- 1:23:00So I'm hoping that they are going to
- 1:23:02open up
- 1:23:04even more and let us in on what
- 1:23:06it's like to be an athlete,
- 1:23:08what they go through,
- 1:23:09when they get called by HQ,
- 1:23:10when they do all these things.
- 1:23:12Yeah, like I just think about, you know,
- 1:23:14when I started CrossFit,
- 1:23:15you'd watch YouTube videos of different
- 1:23:17athletes.
- 1:23:18Now I'm sure a lot of athletes that
- 1:23:21are up and coming look at the Boys
- 1:23:23Interrupted podcast and are looking up to
- 1:23:25those athletes,
- 1:23:25trying to get any insight to them.
- 1:23:27And the same can be, you know,
- 1:23:29about maybe young female athletes that are
- 1:23:30looking up to these girls and women,
- 1:23:33sorry, and, you know,
- 1:23:36could be getting motivated by them.
- 1:23:38And I think it's cool.
- 1:23:41Yeah, I shouldn't call them girls.
- 1:23:43Boys Interrupted comes from a show that's
- 1:23:46Girls Interrupted,
- 1:23:47and it just translates in my head
- 1:23:50automatically.
- 1:23:51They are women,
- 1:23:53and I'm glad that they are.
- 1:23:55I'm glad they're making an attempt at
- 1:23:57this.
- 1:23:57I hope it succeeds.
- 1:23:59There have been so many athletes that have
- 1:24:00started podcasts that have faded away
- 1:24:03fairly quickly other than the boys.
- 1:24:05Yeah.
- 1:24:07The boys, what, they're on like, forty,
- 1:24:09fifty episodes?
- 1:24:12Like,
- 1:24:12and they've been pretty consistent every
- 1:24:13week.
- 1:24:14So, but like, the daughters tried one,
- 1:24:19it went away quick.
- 1:24:20They, a lot of people do it.
- 1:24:22The only people that have sustained it are
- 1:24:24Rich in Retirement and the boys.
- 1:24:31So, yeah.
- 1:24:32Yeah.
- 1:24:34I think Lawson had a podcast that she
- 1:24:36was doing last year.
- 1:24:36I don't know how often she does it.
- 1:24:39Yeah.
- 1:24:39She doesn't do it on YouTube though.
- 1:24:40So I like,
- 1:24:41if it's not like a visual one.
- 1:24:43Yeah.
- 1:24:44Even though we put ours up on Spotify
- 1:24:46and iTunes and all of that stuff.
- 1:24:48So, yeah.
- 1:24:53Yeah.
- 1:24:54Grace,
- 1:24:54that that's what I was referencing is the
- 1:24:57movie girl interrupted.
- 1:24:58Yeah.
- 1:25:00Yeah.
- 1:25:03The reason they named it that, though,
- 1:25:04is because they kept interrupting each
- 1:25:05other.
- 1:25:07Supposedly.
- 1:25:12If Jamie was here,
- 1:25:14maybe we could have had some sort of
- 1:25:16new name for our Sunday show with Jamie
- 1:25:18interrupting Scott or Scott interrupting
- 1:25:21Jamie.
- 1:25:21Yeah, it was nice to just talk tonight.
- 1:25:26we love jamie and she'll be back next
- 1:25:28week i'm sure um but i did get
- 1:25:31a picture today she was poolside in
- 1:25:33florida enjoying the weather um so i'm
- 1:25:36jealous and i hope she enjoys her vacation
- 1:25:38we told her to have fun and that
- 1:25:40carol and i could handle it tonight and
- 1:25:42we did we hit all the big topics
- 1:25:45and uh and all of that yeah uh
- 1:25:49grub has a podcast yeah
- 1:25:54But I think there's something with like
- 1:25:55multiple athletes talking versus like a
- 1:25:57single person doing their own thing.
- 1:26:00Like I like the, the three people,
- 1:26:03like the three athletes doing something.
- 1:26:05I think it's cool.
- 1:26:06It's different.
- 1:26:08Uh,
- 1:26:08Vicki says Sunday grad CrossFit battle
- 1:26:10talk.
- 1:26:13Yeah, I would,
- 1:26:14I wish you guys could get a picture
- 1:26:15of when Jamie and I are together in
- 1:26:17person, how heated our debates get.
- 1:26:20It is, it is absolutely crazy.
- 1:26:24Um, but anyway, well,
- 1:26:26it's been fun tonight.
- 1:26:27We got through everything.
- 1:26:29I have not done mine yet.
- 1:26:31Tomorrow will be the day I have nowhere
- 1:26:34to hide tomorrow.
- 1:26:36It just has to be done.
- 1:26:38Um, so that'll be done.
- 1:26:41I'll get my score submitted and, uh,
- 1:26:43we'll move on to week two and Carolyn
- 1:26:46will post her score and we'll see it
- 1:26:47about eight PM tomorrow night.
- 1:26:50Eastern earlier than that.
- 1:26:52So I have a score for the year.
- 1:26:54No, probably earlier, but yeah,
- 1:27:00I always wait.
- 1:27:01So can't wait to see the final
- 1:27:02leaderboard.
- 1:27:06Good luck, Scott.
- 1:27:07David's doing his tomorrow too.
- 1:27:09Yeah.
- 1:27:10I honestly,
- 1:27:10I have not felt well all week with
- 1:27:12the biopsy last week.
- 1:27:13I didn't know it was going to put
- 1:27:15me down as much as it did.
- 1:27:17And so I really just need,
- 1:27:18I needed the full weekend to feel better.
- 1:27:21Um, but yeah,
- 1:27:22we'll get a score in so we can
- 1:27:24keep going through the open.

- 1:27:42but now I just, I'm getting older.
- 1:27:45I, I need my Thursday rest day.
- 1:27:48And then I go think about it and
- 1:27:49I do it Friday after work,
- 1:27:53which everyone does it Friday night
- 1:27:54lights.
- 1:27:54But I feel,
- 1:27:55I always feel more drained on Friday after
- 1:27:57like a long day of work.
- 1:27:59Yeah.
- 1:28:00I always think Friday with students, like,
- 1:28:03yeah, I get,
- 1:28:05I liked Friday night because I got it
- 1:28:07over with, but I,
- 1:28:09but I felt better on Saturday mornings,
- 1:28:11but I never slept because I thought about
- 1:28:13the workout all night.
- 1:28:14Our gym does Saturdays.
- 1:28:17So some people,
- 1:28:18a lot of like the people that will
- 1:28:20help judge will do it the Fridays or
- 1:28:21people that are more serious that might
- 1:28:23want to redo will do it the Friday.
- 1:28:25But then Saturday is where we do like
- 1:28:28our heats and people are excited.
- 1:28:30They have their uniforms and stuff like
