• 2:45
  two that are going to apply to this section.
• 2:47
  Really. Print them out.
• 2:48
  Is this from Is This from Me and Tyler's throw down or just last
• 2:52
  week's show? A little bit of both.
• 2:55
  So you see Batman on there. I'm going to go a little quick
• 2:58
  hits and then we'll get into the meat of the viewer, comments

• 3:02
  Yeah, the meat spin of the viewer comments.
• 3:06
  All right, Yeah. So we'll go through these pretty
• 3:08
  quick and then I think we'll go through these pretty quick and
• 3:10
  then we'll get into the the real comments at Ian Kurth always
• 3:15
  knew JY was strong, but seeing him in his open videos this
• 3:18
  year, I get the impression he has to walk through doors
• 3:21
  sideways or he gets stuck. Thank you, Ian.
• 3:26
  I appreciate. That that's a that's definitely
• 3:28
  a compliment. Yeah, I'm going to take that as
• 3:29
  a compliment. I, I, I don't, I don't have to
• 3:34
  but but thank you. Yeah, at Frank 79.
• 3:39
  Hey JY, you legit look lot into weight class.
• 3:44
  You should legit look into weight class strongman.
• 3:47
  You're built for it. Yeah, I've gotten like like 60
• 3:51
  amps of that to be in the 90K strongman weight class.
• 3:56
  I I actually, I looked up and and no desire none.
• 3:59
  I don't listen. That environment, if you've ever
• 4:03
  been to any competition, you want to talk about like guys who
• 4:06
  are like just the ego that walks around in that, in that type of
• 4:11
  environment is insane. I know there's some guys who
• 4:14
  have an ego in CrossFit, but it is crazy and I can't do it.
• 4:20
  I can't do the got to be careful.
• 4:22
  Last time I said I can't do something with the strong
• 4:24
  people. But the just just to get all
• 4:28
  amped up, like just to smell your smelling salt, you know,
• 4:32
  just, you know, 9 times and then and then to do 3 seconds of work
• 4:38
  and then I don't care if it's £700 that you just did.
• 4:41
  I really don't. I shouldn't take 30 minutes to
• 4:45
  do 700 lbs of anything and then to just like, you know, you're
• 4:49
  just got the biggest Dick in the room when you're taking stuff to
• 4:52
  make you have the smallest Dick in the room.
• 4:54
  Like it just it doesn't I I'm not about.
• 4:57
  It has no implications on your penis, it's just the balls.
• 5:01
  Gotcha. Tyler, you would know, but I
• 5:05
  just, I don't have a desire to be a part of that world at all.
• 5:08
  I, I, I actually watch the world's strongest man.
• 5:11
  I like, like, you know, it's fun to watch people do things nobody
• 5:14
  else can do for sure. I don't want to be a part of
• 5:17
  that world. I really, really don't.
• 5:19
  I don't, I don't know if people know this, but you know, I
• 5:22
  listen to Jordan Sparks when I lift weights.
• 5:24
  Like that's what I like to do. I, it makes me, I want to be
• 5:27
  happy. I don't want to listen to kill
• 5:30
  the world and everybody's going to die.
• 5:33
  And then for me to lift 700 lbs one time and then walk off like
• 5:36
  I'm the king of the world. You know, I, I like fitness too
• 5:39
  much. I understand that I'm not the
• 5:41
  best at fitness, but I like it too much.
• 5:44
  I will this world that I belong in, but I because.
• 5:47
  I'm the best at fitness show. I appreciate you strong man.
• 5:50
  I'm going to go tell my son to turn down this TV because he is
• 5:53
  that was. I'll be right back.
• 5:54
  That was actually a good point you just made, John, because you
• 5:57
  just said that it wasn't a strong woman thing.
• 6:00
  You just don't like the whole geeking out thing that like
• 6:04
  strength competitors. I need more action than has.
• 6:07
  Nothing to do with the females. The amount of Fast forward that
• 6:10
  I do to watch a strong competition is like I would love
• 6:14
  to know that stat. How much fast forwarding you do,
• 6:17
  you know what I mean? And it's just you know, of
• 6:19
  course, like Eddie Hall lifting 1100 lbs like that's that's the
• 6:23
  great. It's so fun to watch.
• 6:24
  I'll I'll watch a whole 30 minute documentary of how he has
• 6:27
  to prepare for this. But you know, when 9 of the 10,
• 6:37
  when nine of the 10 of the people are doing 800 and acting
• 6:40
  just as hype, it just, I just, I'm not about it at all.
• 6:45
  I saw you pause and think about how you want to say.
• 6:47
  That somebody clip that and do one of those like Vietnam
• 6:52
  flashback. Clips.
• 6:55
  I think you could go like he's learning.
• 6:57
  To like, not say like bad things.
• 7:02
  It just, I just, you know, I like Olympic weightlifting.
• 7:05
  I got, I got, I'd be way more to go into a like get into Olympic
• 7:09
  weightlifting than strong men. But I did look up the stuff that
• 7:13
  they do, the 90K people, they all deadlift 660 or or above.
• 7:20
  Deadlift is not your thing. And I'm never going to do that.
• 7:23
  I'm never going to do that. I'm not.
• 7:25
  I'm not a great dead lifter for people who know this.
• 7:28
  I mean, I'm still like, you know, better than most, but
• 7:30
  compared to the rest of my lifts, I'm not.
• 7:32
  I can't deadlift 600 lbs and I'd have to work really, really hard
• 7:38
  to do that. And then I'd still be 11th place
• 7:42
  in the 90K category, but I'd be pretty good at the rest of.
• 7:47
  The stuff, yeah, like and subscribe Josh G, you guys are
• 7:52
  smart starting when Sivan ends. So Sivan ends when we start, I
• 7:56
  think. That's right.
• 7:58
  I feel guilty. I feel guilty for putting a a
• 8:00
  comment in the chat That's not that's my fault If I get kicked
• 8:03
  out of the group I. Understand that's not what you
• 8:05
  were saying before the show started, Tyler.
• 8:07
  You were talking so much junk, Tyler.
• 8:10
  These. Stupid idiots.
• 8:13
  Let's see at Daniel Larson, I think the bat is coming for
• 8:17
  them. Thrusters Watkins.
• 8:21
  I I know that I squat right to parallel.
• 8:26
  I suffer from a similar. I don't think it's nearly as bad
• 8:29
  as spins, but my ankles do not move from years and years and
• 8:33
  years of having my feet and football shoes.
• 8:37
  I also think I'm guilty of picking a bad angle, but
• 8:42
  whatever, I'm on a Hiller video, I don't care.
• 8:45
  Are you? You're on the Hiller video.
• 8:47
  Yeah, he called me out for like some of the last ones, and I
• 8:49
  actually thought my, my, my squat depth on the 135 was
• 8:54
  probably the best. It should.
• 8:56
  Be pushes you down. Yeah, Grant, I'm not convinced
• 8:59
  Tyler's thrusters weren't good. Me.
• 9:01
  See, there you go. I just feel better after
• 9:04
  watching Hiller's video. I feel better about my my
• 9:07
  thrusters last year. Really.
• 9:10
  Yeah, 'cause I like. 'Cause you saw people way worse.
• 9:13
  Yes, exactly. I had.
• 9:16
  I had I had a bum knee last year.
• 9:18
  My squats were better this year. Yeah, good.
• 9:21
  I, I think the, I think the standard I talked to Jr. about
• 9:26
  this, I think the standard should be that if your hamstring
• 9:29
  touches your calf, you're at depth.
• 9:32
  I think it's a bad, like I think the hip angle thing is, I get
• 9:36
  it. It's like the it's like an
• 9:38
  obvious way to judge it, but like you're definitely, I've
• 9:40
  never seen somebody's hamstrings not touch their calf and be like
• 9:44
  you're not to depth, you know what I mean?
• 9:46
  Because their knees go so far forward that it's.
• 9:50
  Yeah, yeah, Now you see it in wall balls a lot too.
• 9:52
  People's whose are are our knees over toes kind of squatters,
• 9:56
  like they're just, it's like a, you know, like a third of the
• 9:58
  population. Your knees just go really over
• 10:00
  your toes. Ricky Gerard's a big one on
• 10:02
  this. If you ever watch him squat,
• 10:04
  knees just go way over your toes and then all the way down for
• 10:07
  you is parallel, right? No, I, I agree with you, Tyler.
• 10:13
  I think, I think the, down the, the I love Hiller and there is
• 10:20
  and there is a need for him and I'm so happy he's here.
• 10:23
  And I and I don't take, don't you know, someone don't clip
• 10:26
  this and then write the bad part about Hiller is that everybody
• 10:32
  in the world now wants to be Hiller.
• 10:36
  And then they try to call out people's reps when they have no
• 10:40
  business doing this at all and like people were.
• 10:43
  Calling your lockout and I was like, no, John is 100%.
• 10:46
  To, to, to an egregious amount where like, if it doesn't like,
• 10:51
  'cause everybody's body is different and something that
• 10:54
  Hitler does and this is what everybody should do, but
• 10:56
  everybody doesn't, you know, everybody looks like it.
• 10:58
  Does he look like Rich Froning? If he doesn't look like Rich
• 11:01
  Froning, they're all no reps like, and that's like, that's
• 11:04
  how people freaking grade these things.
• 11:06
  And you, you, you're not good like Internet people.
• 11:11
  Because what Hitler will do is does his first Rep look like his
• 11:15
  last Rep? And if it does, this is the best
• 11:17
  they can do. This is, you know what I mean?
• 11:19
  If I was a judge, even if you got like a wonky elbow or
• 11:22
  something like then like they're good.
• 11:25
  You know what I mean now, because a lot of times people's
• 11:28
  last Rep will be way locked out and then they're, you know, reps
• 11:31
  subsequently won't, won't be right.
• 11:33
  Same thing with squat depth. Right now.
• 11:36
  I I 100% am on the side of you need to be below parallel and
• 11:40
  people that have a hard time going beneath parallel.
• 11:43
  You need to work on it. You need.
• 11:45
  To work on it, right, right. And it's not nothing you don't
• 11:48
  know, you know it's Ben knows it too, right.
• 11:51
  But if your hamstrings, like Tyler said, are touching your
• 11:55
  calves, then I think all those reps are fine, dude.
• 11:59
  And then like, you know, sure you might have a couple that are
• 12:02
  like those are bad, right, but it's a couple it's not every
• 12:07
  single Rep. This is where you squat to, you
• 12:10
  know what I mean? And I think people, people are
• 12:14
  just. Those comments, man, they were
• 12:16
  they were racking up. I, I like it.
• 12:18
  It does make me when I'm doing the workout, I do think about
• 12:21
  this stuff like I, I kind of appreciate it.
• 12:24
  And so me making Hiller videos like, OK, I'll do better.
• 12:27
  I thought those were OK, but I guess not.
• 12:29
  Because I didn't think I had one Rep that was bad.
• 12:32
  Not one. I, I didn't, I didn't go slow.
• 12:35
  Listen, I I did not go fast on purpose.
• 12:38
  One, I knew I had no business going fast, you know what I
• 12:41
  mean? But every single time I'm here
• 12:43
  and people just can't accept this is this is locked out arms.
• 12:48
  Somebody was saying that my arms weren't locked out.
• 12:51
  I was like, you're out, you're out of your mind, like.
• 12:52
  Out of your mind. Out of your mind.
• 12:56
  But you know, I but it's it's all to to say that it's all it's
• 13:01
  all net positive that people are more, you know, cognizant look
• 13:07
  heads through every time and people are going to say to me,
• 13:12
  my reps are not locked out just because they can't do a thruster
• 13:15
  as fast as me. Why do you think people.
• 13:19
  Are Tyler, I don't know where your lockout is.
• 13:21
  You're freaking pausing at the top of every Rep.
• 13:23
  What? Do you mean?
• 13:25
  I don't know how people say you're not locked out.
• 13:27
  Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, at the top of your every Rep.
• 13:33
  John George says that soft elbows on both, except for when
• 13:36
  Tyler is taking breaks at top. No, I I legitimate like this is
• 13:43
  going to sound like shit but I legitimately think it's a bad
• 13:46
  angle. I have like hyper flexion of my
• 13:48
  elbows. See this?
• 13:51
  That happens on every single one of those reps You guys are out
• 13:54
  of your mind. Justice for John.
• 13:58
  And I'm, I'm telling you, if Hitler put you on his video, he
• 14:01
  would have said something about mine.
• 14:02
  Even if none of them were like egregious, he would have been
• 14:05
  like, you know, John's got soft elbows on some of these, but
• 14:08
  most for the most part, he's good.
• 14:10
  Right. Well, I'm.
• 14:12
  More curious about your chest of bar over here there.
• 14:15
  John, that was to save my grip. I don't know but I'm a little
• 14:19
  bit heavier and my hands, I was concerned about them ripping and
• 14:24
  I did not want to RIP at all. You call me a baby if you want
• 14:28
  and I will accept that comment. But it took me 46 seconds to do
• 14:34
  all 18 chest bar. I wouldn't have been that much
• 14:36
  faster doing butterfly and breaking it up and it did.
• 14:41
  It saved my grip, I was fine. Why is everybody freaking out
• 14:45
  about our sweatpants? It's cold.
• 14:48
  It was cold when I did. This workout.
• 14:50
  John, how cold was it in in Houston?
• 14:52
  It was like 50. It's like 73.
• 14:56
  No, no, I'm one. I'm one.
• 14:57
  I'm doing this at 6:00 in the morning.
• 14:59
  OK, and it was like it was it was like 50°.
• 15:02
  I I mean, this is sweatpant T-shirt weather.
• 15:04
  I don't know. I also like working out in
• 15:08
  pants. I don't.
• 15:09
  I don't. I don't I cannot do it.
• 15:11
  I'm. Gonna.
• 15:12
  Give you 40° and I have to wear shorts.
• 15:14
  Oh no, I'm a big sweatpant workout.
• 15:16
  So we know that you're you're a sweatpant sweatshirt type of.
• 15:19
  Oh yeah dude, I like to be hot underneath.
• 15:22
  Beyond sitting over on those plates.
• 15:26
  Killed. Me.
• 15:27
  I listen, listen, listen. I, I was tired and I saw those
• 15:32
  plates and I'm like, that looks like that looks like a good spot
• 15:36
  to rest man, That looks, that looks really comfortable over
• 15:39
  there in those ways. It made me so mad I didn't beat
• 15:42
  you worse. I was like, Oh my God.
• 15:45
  You know, you want to Fast forward a little bit.
• 15:46
  What's funny is I think if I like 2 set it the bar muscle UPS
• 15:50
  I might have could have caught you like.
• 15:52
  Oh, yeah, I got really nervous. There was one time you passed me
• 15:57
  back up and I was like, oh. Shit, maybe.
• 15:59
  Maybe it was here because we're both thrusters.
• 16:03
  You blasted through these and I was just kind of chipping.
• 16:07
  John just wishes there were 70 thrusters and that's it.
• 16:12
  You know, I don't know. I think I'm just unfit.
• 16:15
  I'm not going to say I don't. I know there's another.
• 16:18
  I think this is I There's nothing wrong with this workout
• 16:21
  other than the double unders are kind of irrelevant but.
• 16:25
  This was a good one. I I got 816 back in 2022 and I
• 16:30
  was convinced I was going to beat my score.
• 16:33
  And I think the biggest thing. That was the longest break I
• 16:38
  took all all workout. It was between that 10 and 8.
• 16:45
  This is when it got real. That the the the bar muscles hit
• 16:54
  you like a tone of bricks. It's skyrocketing.
• 16:57
  There it is, there it is. I'm pretty.
• 16:59
  Comfortable. I got to tell you, watching it
• 17:03
  back, it does look like I'm not really working out like like
• 17:08
  like this. This looks like I'm at like an
• 17:10
  open gym and just doing some reps of some stuff and then
• 17:13
  sitting down and then doing some reps of some stuff.
• 17:17
  Yeah, you're like you're. Like warm enough so.
• 17:19
  Like that's, it does look like that.
• 17:22
  I, I so my score in 2022, I was like 924 and I, and I was
• 17:32
  thinking, OK, like I'm not super fit right now, but I think I'm
• 17:35
  fitter than I am in 2022 and I just could not breathe all the
• 17:40
  I'm stronger, my gymnastics are better.
• 17:42
  I just, my lungs are that bad when I'm not trying to when I'm
• 17:47
  not actively not doing CrossFit a bunch, you know what I mean?
• 17:50
  My lungs just go away really, really fast and and I just kept
• 17:56
  just kept taking seats and. Jeremy, I realized that 7
• 18:01
  minutes I did, I was not going to make it.
• 18:03
  I knew that I was going to have to rest going into the
• 18:05
  thrusters. I think in August I'm going to
• 18:09
  redo this one because I'm always like the fittest I'm going to be
• 18:13
  all year and all. No, no, no, it's, it's after the
• 18:18
  Games. Why?
• 18:18
  Because late on. Yeah, yeah, 'cause the July is
• 18:21
  the Tour de France. So like I'm, I'm biking 90
• 18:24
  minutes every single day and, well, I'm always the smallest.
• 18:28
  So that probably equals it probably helps.
• 18:30
  It probably equals the fittest, right?
• 18:33
  Boy, you swing wild on here. Well, I am.
• 18:38
  It's a, I'm a, it's a big guy. You're a big.
• 18:40
  You're a big guy. Yeah, 2200 and something plus
• 18:42
  pounds is a lot of weight to be thrown around.
• 18:46
  I'm getting lighter. I'm.
• 18:47
  Sitting back down here. I wonder if my reel with the
• 18:50
  three in the corner tricked anybody.
• 18:53
  Maybe I I took his, I took Tyler's reel or or story and I
• 18:59
  put a three in the corner like Austin and and Colton do.
• 19:03
  You know how many followers they got off of that?
• 19:06
  I got like 20 followers right? Dude, this this, this Tyler
• 19:11
  Watkins guy. I might have just sent a record.
• 19:16
  He failed right before he finished in 3 minutes.
• 19:19
  I can't believe people thought that was for real.
• 19:22
  Oh yeah, yeah. These these these 30 double
• 19:28
  Enders were so freaking annoying man.
• 19:31
  I tripped, I didn't. I tripped, didn't trip all
• 19:33
  workout. I think I tripped 4 times in
• 19:35
  this 30 double Enders. I want to take your time of
• 19:40
  your, your thrusters, Tyler. What do you mean?
• 19:45
  What was your time on the 15 thrusters?
• 19:47
  I feel like you've been here a long time.
• 19:48
  It was like a minute 40 or something.
• 19:51
  Yeah, yeah. Minute 45.
• 19:54
  Yeah, I knew I was. Then I then I ran out of video
• 19:58
  to keep going for John. Yeah, yeah, I'm a unfit.
• 20:05
  It's it's unfortunate. You're not unfit, you're grid
• 20:08
  fit. Yeah, you're a different kind of
• 20:11
  fit. All right, I'm going to take
• 20:13
  another seat here. Think about, think about, think
• 20:17
  about what we're going to do and watch how like watch how like,
• 20:21
  like I like just walk all slow and then and then it's like.
• 20:27
  This is crazy how fast you move on these.
• 20:31
  Is it faster than Colton? No, nothing is faster than
• 20:34
  Colton. I think Colton is the same speed
• 20:38
  as I am, but 54. No, no, I'm saying like the
• 20:43
  speed he's moving is the same speed, but it's just the range
• 20:47
  of motion. What'd you say?
• 20:50
  About range of motion. Yeah, be.
• 20:52
  Careful, he started. He started.
• 20:55
  At 10 O he started at ten O 4. No.
• 21:05
  Let's assume I didn't catch that part.
• 21:09
  That's great. Well, how we should how long we
• 21:13
  can we can. Let's go look at Is it Mine took
• 21:14
  26 seconds. Is was 22. 100% then Colton, I
• 21:19
  don't know what you're talking about.
• 21:22
  Four seconds for five inches or 6 inches a height.
• 21:25
  Yes, Sir. How about no?
• 21:29
  Across 1515 thrusters, 6 inches. What are we talking about?
• 21:34
  That's 90. Inches Colton would go through
• 21:36
  that whole workout twice, 2 1/2. Times that's cool.
• 21:39
  Spin, that's cool. What do you clean, Colton?
• 21:42
  That's what I freaking thought. Where's your comment now,
• 21:45
  Colton? Yeah.
• 21:48
  Think you're think you're cool 'cause you're so fit.
• 21:51
  Yeah, let's see at WTH I bow. Neither guy did a single
• 21:57
  thruster. Sad and at shiz graphics JY
• 22:02
  spirit animal has to be a sloth and those jumping chest of bars
• 22:06
  is nasty work. The best comment was was man,
• 22:14
  John really ain't about it, eh? Yeah.
• 22:18
  Dude, that one, that one hurt. That one hurt a lot.
• 22:22
  I got out of all the comments like like none of them really
• 22:28
  like get you at all. Like at least I don't know,
• 22:30
  Tyler doesn't have as much experience as I do with negative
• 22:32
  comments, but wonder why, Like I'm not that one, that one
• 22:37
  really hurt because I've done some I've done some pretty
• 22:40
  painful things and and, and Tyler has been adamant like he
• 22:45
  does, he's doesn't want to hurt like he's he's anti hurting,
• 22:49
  right. He's in this, he's in the time
• 22:51
  of life where we don't need to hurt if we don't have to.
• 22:54
  And, and now, I mean, I, it would, it would hurt my heart a
• 22:59
  little bit. And I was like, oh God, I
• 23:01
  briefly considered, I'm just going to get fit, man.
• 23:05
  I'm just yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, I don't care about
• 23:09
  strength anymore. What's great is that. 1 was such
• 23:14
  a nice, like it was, it's like when your grandma says something
• 23:17
  shitty but like she does it in the nicest way and you're like
• 23:20
  God like though it's brutal 'cause it was such a nice way to
• 23:24
  put it. It was so brutal.
• 23:28
  Yeah, no other. Congratulations Tyler.
• 23:31
  Tyler's 2 for two. This feels like a real robot
• 23:35
  situation when boss like swept it and we're going to have to
• 23:40
  see if I pull a row and super fit next year.
• 23:44
  I'm I'm hoping the road does not show up because if it does I'm
• 23:48
  pretty sure I'm out. It depends what it's paired
• 23:50
  with, man. I mean, we get 25 wall walks.
• 23:52
  That's, you know, that's a lot. Yeah, I'm pretty good at wall
• 23:56
  walks. Yeah, I know.
• 24:00
  I'm pretty good at. Wall walk It's a that's a wall
• 24:03
  walk workout if that's what it is.
• 24:06
  What you got here Spin. We got one of our athletes here,
• 24:13
  Ashton Crabtree, he's doing some some of the gymnastics on 25.2
• 24:20
  and yeah, good, good chest of bar pull up right there.
• 24:26
  Good one. Here we go.
• 24:30
  He's about to fall. He's got pregnant lady there
• 24:32
  with him. 1. Oh yeah.
• 24:36
  Oh, there we go. Yeah, my mom, it's.
• 24:42
  Like watching a kid fall off a trampoline.
• 24:45
  Every time it looks bad, man. Every time that happens to
• 24:48
  somebody, it's it, it looks bad. My mom did that one time in the
• 24:51
  competition and I felt bad for her when it happened.
• 24:56
  I can't tell what grips he's wearing, but I think he probably
• 24:58
  needs a new pair of frog grips. Code spin saves you 15% off, so
• 25:04
  use that QR code and don't fall off the you know who didn't.
• 25:07
  Fall off this guy there. You go or you do the you do the
• 25:12
  jumping chest of our pull ups like John does and then it
• 25:14
  saves. You ever going to fall off?
• 25:16
  Yeah, let's see some real comments here at Mission Bell.
• 25:21
  This little bit political statement for you.
• 25:24
  John Al Green is AUS representative, not a mayor.
• 25:28
  Mayors don't go to joint sessions of Congress because
• 25:31
  they are not part of Congress. The ignorance of bounds in
• 25:35
  Trump's America. Sigh.
• 25:38
  So, well, what's his face? Who runs Daily Wire?
• 25:44
  Who's that? What's that guy's name?
• 25:45
  Ben Shapiro? He's not a he was at that and
• 25:48
  he's not a governor so or a representative in Congress.
• 25:51
  It's. Trump's fault.
• 25:52
  Let's see at me. Houston too.
• 25:54
  I'm only 15 months into CrossFit and I am big.
• 25:57
  Sad I didn't sign up last year. I am fully on the CrossFit train
• 26:02
  and the open is something Crossfitters do.
• 26:06
  That's right. There you go.
• 26:08
  Welcome back. Yeah, at SJD I I I5 when we do
• 26:15
  the barbell spin in intramural open next year, can we stay
• 26:20
  loyal to our current teams? Dude, you get first, you get
• 26:24
  mandatory draft pick. I would 100.
• 26:27
  I would 100% buy a trash panda shirt but not if I'm on a new
• 26:31
  team every. Year, oh man, this is tough
• 26:33
  'cause I, I really we're, we'll have to talk this through do you
• 26:37
  do you, you want to do that now we can do it now if you want to
• 26:39
  but I, I, the point of the draft is for it to be different every
• 26:43
  year you know what I mean I can see.
• 26:47
  I can see SJD I I I5's point. What if we got we you get you
• 26:54
  get one person you can keep. I think you you have to write in
• 27:00
  that you're, you were on it last year and you want to remain on
• 27:03
  the same. Team, I think the I think the
• 27:05
  hard part, I think the hard part is if people come and go, does
• 27:09
  one like how do we backfill? That's the, that's the my
• 27:12
  initial comment. We'll have to think about.
• 27:14
  We'll talk, We'll talk that through.
• 27:16
  We'll talk that through. I agree with Tyler.
• 27:18
  I think you need to ride in that you want to stay on the team.
• 27:24
  Enter the draft portal if not. We'll see, John.
• 27:26
  I'm not. Sure.
• 27:27
  So, Colton. But but we'll be, we'll be,
• 27:29
  we'll do it much earlier. Because I'll, I'll send you an
• 27:32
  Oval team shirt. You know, don't worry about what
• 27:35
  I just said with, you know, you're not cleaning as much as
• 27:37
  me. Just just you, you can need to
• 27:40
  stay on the team. That's fair.
• 27:43
  I'm. Going to get trashed into
• 27:44
  jerseys. Yeah, sure.
• 27:46
  I think, I think we'll be more organized.
• 27:48
  We won't do it like four days before the start of the Open
• 27:51
  next year. So even if you do have a
• 27:53
  different team, I think we might do, might have, might know who
• 27:56
  you're on before that starts. Let's see, let's see, where did
• 28:03
  I see I'll sponsor the draft next year?
• 28:05
  Hell yeah, look at that. Does that mean the winner we can
• 28:09
  divvy up like $200 to are 100? Yeah, $200.
• 28:16
  And just give $2.00 to every single person.
• 28:19
  We're going to double it up. You'll get like keeping it real.
• 28:23
  I cannot agree more. Anything to get off Spin's team.
• 28:27
  Anything to get off Grant's team?
• 28:29
  Yes, 100%. Never mind.
• 28:30
  Grant gets the exception. He's stuck.
• 28:32
  He's stuck with the team. Mr. Telford, if he comes to up
• 28:35
  1%, somebody wants to trade man that's getting selling CrossFit.
• 28:43
  How about that? Earlier this afternoon, Mr. Dawn
• 28:49
  Fall, the CEO, sent out an e-mail to the affiliates.
• 28:55
  Actually, he was, he was busy, he was writing all kinds of
• 28:57
  things, but he wrote out to the affiliates.
• 29:01
  In 2020, Berkshire Partners acquired CrossFit, motivated by
• 29:04
  a strong belief in our methodology, brand and our
• 29:07
  community. That was in mythology.
• 29:11
  Yeah, it is now time to seek out a new owner for a next phase of
• 29:17
  growth. It's a weird statement.
• 29:22
  Next phase it what it's time to seek out a new owner for next
• 29:27
  phase of growth, OK. So we're growing.
• 29:31
  Why is that weird? It's just I don't.
• 29:40
  It's. APE mindset, yeah.
• 29:45
  #Pe mindset. Right, like it's not our next
• 29:50
  phase of improving the health of mill, you know, lives of others
• 29:54
  or or continuing to spread the word.
• 29:56
  It's our next phase of growth, which to me leads to how do we
• 30:00
  make more profit? Maybe I'm reading into it, but
• 30:06
  that's how I read it. I think they read into money and
• 30:09
  then this is just words speak. Word speak.
• 30:13
  That's generally how SPEAK works.
• 30:14
  John, as soon as it puts it the next phase of growth, things are
• 30:19
  going so well that we need to sell now, not wait.
• 30:22
  Well. You need to sell at the bottom
• 30:25
  for sure, not the top. No dumb idea to sell at the top.
• 30:29
  You, you've, you know what I, if, if CrossFit was a person, I
• 30:36
  would like to think like, you know, you know, 20, 2014 to
• 30:41
  2018, like we're going through some changes.
• 30:43
  Like we're like, you know, 1230, yeah, you know, and we're
• 30:47
  growing very rapidly, right, and becoming the person we're going
• 30:52
  to be. And then it like, you know, like
• 30:55
  2020-2021 it's like, it's like, no, it's like somebody gave us
• 31:01
  puberty blockers and tried to change who we are.
• 31:04
  And that's, that's see think about it.
• 31:07
  Try to change about our chemistry of who we are, right?
• 31:13
  Stunted our growth and now and now we're trying to get our
• 31:18
  puberty back. OK y'all just take that home.
• 31:22
  Y'all just, y'all just, y'all just.
• 31:23
  Best analogy? You need to, you need to chew on
• 31:26
  that for a minute, OK? Susan likes your take.
• 31:32
  Our objective is to find the right partner, one with a
• 31:36
  connection to our community and appreciation for affiliate
• 31:40
  business model and the passion and vision to lead us into the
• 31:44
  future. OK, check.
• 31:48
  Well, first, I mean Susan, I and you did kind of a show.
• 31:54
  I was on for like 5. Minutes, You were like the
• 31:59
  intro, you kind of like welcomed me on and you just bolted off to
• 32:02
  the side. If it is true of at least the
• 32:06
  the the mallet guy, the cross fitters, if it is truly Daniel
• 32:13
  Chaffee and who's the other Dan Williams?
• 32:18
  Like all those guys, like they're in the CrossFit
• 32:20
  community. I guess that is a connection to
• 32:23
  the community. Appreciate it.
• 32:26
  For business model, sure. But then as in a typical as is
• 32:33
  typical in any sales process, CrossFit will be working with an
• 32:35
  advisor, Bolas and company to help review a wide range of
• 32:40
  potential buyers. They're lined up waiting.
• 32:44
  These processes take time and we won't be able to share details
• 32:46
  until it is until its completion.
• 32:48
  In the meantime, there will be no changes to how we operate and
• 32:51
  work together. Lined up like they were lined up
• 32:55
  at the vendor center at the Games this year.
• 32:58
  Waiting to get in. Huge lines.
• 33:01
  This this one is weird because. Security is taking their job way
• 33:05
  too seriously. The the question is most of
• 33:07
  this, most of the times this is all secret, like you announced
• 33:11
  an announcement, like you announce the sale when it's
• 33:14
  done. You know, it's sold to Daniel
• 33:16
  Chaffee, you know, or whatever. Yeah, B Sport.
• 33:20
  B Sport sold to Malik I I don't understand this like it It's to
• 33:28
  get to bring molas and company in.
• 33:30
  Yes, that's what you do on a sale, but why would you tell
• 33:36
  everybody that you're trying to sell?
• 33:39
  I don't know. Why do you tell everybody we'll
• 33:41
  release the investigation as soon as it happens and then you
• 33:43
  don't do it? I don't, I don't know, spin.
• 33:45
  That's what they did. Do you think it's already been
• 33:50
  sold? You want to tell people what
• 33:52
  you're going to tell them. You tell them, and then you tell
• 33:54
  them what you told them. I got a question for you.
• 33:57
  And if you think it's already been sold, why?
• 34:00
  Why can you not say that it's been sold?
• 34:04
  Are you familiar with the idea of predictive programming?
• 34:08
  Like the matrix? Nope, this is like when they
• 34:12
  tell this is like you seen all those Simpson clips where
• 34:17
  they're like they predicted the future.
• 34:19
  Yes. So that's the idea is that the
• 34:22
  media knows what's going to happen and they're telling us
• 34:25
  ahead of time so that we toss the idea around and then we
• 34:29
  become comfortable with the idea.
• 34:30
  We create a narrative. They see what we're going to
• 34:32
  say, they see how we're going to react.
• 34:35
  They let they let us chew on it for a little bit.
• 34:37
  Well, they let us know how they need to communicate with us on
• 34:41
  the other end. What are your qualms?
• 34:42
  What are you? What are you going to be upset
• 34:43
  about? What are you going to be happy
• 34:44
  about? And we're going to hit you
• 34:45
  there. We're doing their job for them.
• 34:48
  This is my conspiracy theory. Answer to this is that this is
• 34:52
  predictive programming. So they don't, they don't know
• 34:56
  what to do, and then they're letting the media tell them what
• 34:59
  to do. Yes, they're, they're, they're
• 35:02
  giving us a landing strip. Then and who would we like to it
• 35:07
  to sell to Chaffee? Are you saying it's already
• 35:13
  sold? Doesn't matter.
• 35:14
  It's already sold dude. That's.
• 35:16
  What I'm saying, what Tyler's saying is he's they're basically
• 35:18
  going to see what we say and then craft their announcement in
• 35:22
  a couple weeks and say I gotcha. So look, we did it and this team
• 35:27
  is coming. We.
• 35:27
  Did what you wanted. Yeah.
• 35:29
  And look, they they're, they're tied into the community.
• 35:32
  They're going to keep your affiliate model.
• 35:34
  They're, you know, going to reinvest in in the affiliates.
• 35:39
  They're going to grow the sport. It's going to be great.
• 35:42
  Everything that we say, they're going to mimic in a press
• 35:45
  release. We'll get Frank to handle this
• 35:48
  for us. Frank's on.
• 35:49
  It's mad I don't. Listen, and we're gonna, we're,
• 35:51
  so we're just gonna pool our money together.
• 35:54
  That 200. Dollars we will buy CrossFit for
• 35:57
  wait for it $13,000 in 223. We'll finance the rest interest
• 36:05
  only. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 36:06
  Five year interest only. That'll be good.
• 36:08
  That works. Yeah.
• 36:09
  Five years. We'll sell it and make make
• 36:11
  hundreds of dollars. It's gonna be great.
• 36:14
  David, what is? That.
• 36:17
  Did you really say that? Yeah, I was playing.
• 36:20
  I was being a troll. Oh, OK.
• 36:22
  This moment of transition comes with significant opportunity.
• 36:28
  OK. Can you, can anybody guess that
• 36:34
  opportunity, Can you say what that opportunity is?
• 36:36
  So we can hear that in the press release in a couple weeks,
• 36:39
  Tyler. Unlimited gains No.
• 36:42
  No exposure. It's safe. 20 to 50% returns on
• 36:48
  investment. It's a big opportunity, huge
• 36:50
  opportunity. I like this.
• 36:52
  If these decrease 50%, they're cut in half.
• 36:55
  I like to read this and take the adjectives out.
• 37:00
  OK, You know, the moment of transition comes with
• 37:02
  opportunity. I am going to be involved in
• 37:08
  this process and what it holds for the future of the affiliate
• 37:14
  business. Very much.
• 37:16
  And CrossFit overall. I'm going to be very.
• 37:18
  You could read it as opposite. I'm going to be personally not
• 37:22
  very. Involved.
• 37:23
  In this process. And I am bummed that it did not
• 37:27
  work and honestly I hope it burns because I couldn't make it
• 37:32
  work. I'm going to be real jealous
• 37:34
  about it if all of a sudden it pops.
• 37:36
  I've aided my time in this community and I cannot wait for
• 37:39
  this line to be signed. It's the most stressful couple
• 37:42
  years of my life. Yeah.
• 37:47
  Don is going to be personally involved in this process.
• 37:51
  OK. Oh.
• 37:53
  Dope. I think the thing that's has to
• 37:55
  be said is Crossfit's not selling CrossFit, Berkshire is
• 38:00
  selling CrossFit, and Berkshire has a whole team of people that
• 38:05
  are making the decision. I'm pretty sure Dave is not at
• 38:09
  the seat when they say, well, do you want to accept this offer?
• 38:13
  And Dave's like yes or no, and they're like, you're not at the
• 38:15
  table. Yeah, I mean.
• 38:19
  Probably Don does because he's part of the board.
• 38:23
  Yeah, I hate. I hate.
• 38:25
  But at the end of the day, it's going to be Berkshire making the
• 38:29
  decision. Does Berkshire care about the
• 38:34
  longevity of CrossFit? After no, they just want to make
• 38:36
  money. That's that's their that's what
• 38:38
  they do is they make money for themselves.
• 38:41
  Like it's not it's not even their fault.
• 38:43
  I'm not mad at them. That's what they do.
• 38:47
  Yeah, I'm OK with. Them they care 0 about if it
• 38:52
  goes on or if it continue, they're done with it.
• 38:54
  They're wiping their hands away from it.
• 38:57
  I don't they don't they don't they don't care at all.
• 39:00
  No, you can't convince me that they do.
• 39:03
  I'm I'm sorry. They don't.
• 39:04
  I hate that we have a board. Every time I hear the board, I'm
• 39:09
  like it just it just doesn't. That doesn't.
• 39:12
  I hate it. Well, Berkshire has a board.
• 39:14
  CrossFit they they just administer CrossFit, but that
• 39:18
  board doesn't come come with the sale do.
• 39:20
  You know what it makes me think like, like Tyler might be spin
• 39:25
  might be Before this, Did you ever watch the Fairly odd
• 39:28
  Parents? Tyler, Yes.
• 39:30
  Do you remember when you know? It's been a long time,
• 39:34
  obviously, but when, what, what? What are they called?
• 39:39
  Cosmo Wanda? What are they called?
• 39:41
  What's the? Fairies.
• 39:42
  Fairies, right. Fairy, Fairy.
• 39:44
  Yeah, yeah. In fairy world, it got taken
• 39:46
  over by like the business fairies and everything was just
• 39:50
  like corporate and I don't know what they called it, but it was
• 39:52
  like, and nothing worked because they tried to operate it as a
• 39:56
  company. I feel like that's what happened
• 39:59
  to CrossFit. Yes, I my time, our our time,
• 40:09
  our time with with Sevon has taught me a lot about what it
• 40:12
  must have been like to work there.
• 40:14
  And it is not a normal corporate setting.
• 40:17
  It was all hands everywhere, all at once.
• 40:20
  It. Was it was a growth phase?
• 40:23
  It was a growth phase, but it was decentralized to the Max.
• 40:26
  Everybody was involved in 18 different projects and nobody
• 40:30
  like people probably had titles, but your title probably meant
• 40:34
  very little, right? And what you are involved in,
• 40:38
  this is very different from a corporate structure of where you
• 40:42
  work on your stuff and you don't really commingle with other
• 40:44
  people and you're just involved in the things that you do.
• 40:48
  I understand why they use that methodology.
• 40:50
  That's how that's how businesses have run.
• 40:53
  That's how businesses have run for hundreds of years.
• 40:55
  You compartmentalize and you do your part.
• 40:57
  Yes, but Crossfit's not I CrossFit had also a rock star
• 41:02
  team of people who all cared about furthering the vision of
• 41:07
  CrossFit. The these people have been
• 41:11
  worried about furthering the bottom line.
• 41:15
  Well, that's, that's what happens at a startup as you get
• 41:17
  people that are passionate for it and then as it gets older and
• 41:20
  older, you bring in new people who are looking for a job.
• 41:24
  That's it. And then CrossFit, that was
• 41:30
  Don's e-mail. CrossFit then published a post
• 41:35
  on crossfit.com. Similar but different.
• 41:39
  Today, we continue to lead the industry with our vision and
• 41:41
  commitment to making the world healthier.
• 41:43
  We have a global network of frontline practitioners, over
• 41:46
  11,000 business owners, over 100,000 CrossFit credentialed
• 41:51
  coaches and 1500 plus healthcare providers.
• 41:55
  It's a little bit different story and how they communicate
• 41:58
  it to those outside of the CrossFit world.
• 42:05
  Because I reported on what was sent to the affiliates, I've
• 42:10
  started to see some news articles from outside groups.
• 42:16
  But which one was it? Athlet, athlete, tech news?
• 42:20
  They basically pulled this statement out.
• 42:23
  Yeah, it the TE and athlete is also the TE and tech.
• 42:30
  Oh, nice. Very cute, I think.
• 42:33
  There it is, Miss Mcgawa. Who are these people?
• 42:38
  I don't know, but yeah, they pulled over.
• 42:43
  They pulled that same statement down here.
• 42:44
  So that is what they're, you know, they sent one message to
• 42:49
  the affiliates and then they're communicating something slightly
• 42:53
  different or at least a different messaging wording to
• 42:57
  those who are outside. When do you think they will
• 43:01
  announce it? What was?
• 43:03
  What was the difference? Sorry, John.
• 43:06
  What was the difference between the two?
• 43:08
  Yeah, it's. Let's see.
• 43:13
  Let me go back to. Oops.
• 43:22
  It's good for radio. It is good.
• 43:24
  It's even on the edge of your seat.
• 43:28
  ChatGPT Find the differences between these two articles.
• 43:31
  I mean, it's very similar, right?
• 43:33
  They're working with models to review a wide range of potential
• 43:36
  buyers. Then it talks about their
• 43:39
  history, right? Over 20 years this has all
• 43:41
  happened and then it talks about the size of their gym network
• 43:50
  and we've transformed our workouts into a global
• 43:52
  competitive sport that draws hundreds of thousands of
• 43:54
  participants every year. So this reads like a casting
• 44:01
  call. No, this, no, this reads like
• 44:06
  athlete tech news is going to pick it up and write something
• 44:08
  that people that have no idea what CrossFit is going to read
• 44:12
  it. Right.
• 44:13
  That's what I'm saying. This goes into Wall Street
• 44:15
  Journal on page 17 in the back corner and you're like, oh,
• 44:19
  cool, I I've heard of Berkshire Partners or Mullis and company.
• 44:26
  That's interesting. Cool.
• 44:27
  I didn't know they were that big.
• 44:29
  And you move on. I got you.
• 44:32
  So, and it's working like. My guess is that this was sent
• 44:35
  out as a press release to outside groups.
• 44:38
  But why would you, why would you even worry about sending it to
• 44:40
  outside groups? I mean that that is evidence in
• 44:43
  the case that they are looking for multiple buyers, even if we
• 44:46
  think that that's. I think they've gotten either an
• 44:50
  unsolicited offer from Malik, Dan and Dan, right?
• 44:56
  And now they've gotten it and they're like, well, maybe we can
• 44:59
  get a few extra $1,000,000 by pumping, pumping this out.
• 45:04
  I don't know. They want, they obviously want
• 45:07
  to get out. The offer wasn't so great that
• 45:11
  they were willing to just take it and run.
• 45:14
  So are they taking a loss on their $200 million investment?
• 45:17
  I don't know. Are they putting pressure on on
• 45:23
  those guys B Sport to up their bid even though there may not be
• 45:28
  another suitor? Like we're looking for more
• 45:30
  people. Why don't you if you really want
• 45:32
  to get it? I was getting ready to say.
• 45:35
  This is this is kind of your game.
• 45:38
  Yeah. I mean, I've been through it on
• 45:39
  public company side. Yeah.
• 45:43
  But because it was a public, publicly traded company, you
• 45:47
  can't make any announcements, right?
• 45:50
  So it's very hush hush. But you do engage in a
• 45:53
  investment firm to manage all that, right?
• 45:57
  And and do the negotiations and help with all of their checking
• 46:01
  to make sure everything is is correct.
• 46:03
  Usually that's done from the buy side.
• 46:07
  Right. Like if you engage somebody like
• 46:11
  this, it's usually to go find a potential buyer, which if that's
• 46:16
  the case, they're doing it publicly versus privately, which
• 46:20
  may be different. That seems weird to me.
• 46:25
  Is that they're doing it publicly.
• 46:27
  Like that's that's where I think it's it's it's Fugazi.
• 46:32
  I make like I just I cannot see them putting it out publicly.
• 46:38
  I can see them putting it out, you know, and amongst, you know,
• 46:43
  investors or whatever in those lines of communication, but not
• 46:48
  not that like this. And even if it linked, they
• 46:51
  could, you know, they could say, I mean, like I think Don
• 46:54
  addressed that until last affiliate meeting or something
• 46:57
  that, that, that these rumors of the potential sale were, were
• 47:00
  fake. Right.
• 47:03
  But that that might go to my point of Berkshire if it if, if
• 47:09
  we don't believe they actually have a sale done.
• 47:10
  Berkshire was in the process of this and not bringing Don into
• 47:14
  the full. Oh, so they were keeping him
• 47:16
  out? That's interesting.
• 47:18
  Possibly. Dear God, somebody please buy
• 47:26
  Ghia bike. Please, we'll get to that here
• 47:28
  in a. Bit I'm going to send Ghia
• 47:30
  tricycle. I'm going to go to Walmart and
• 47:33
  buy a $30 tricycle and send it to Mayhem and say for GHI.
• 47:37
  That'd be good, be good timing wise.
• 47:43
  I mean, we predicted, I think Tyler and I both predicted this
• 47:46
  at the beginning of the year, right?
• 47:47
  Like we both said crossword was going to be sold.
• 47:49
  I said it was going to be right after the Games, Tyler said
• 47:52
  before the Games. I would say a normal situation
• 47:58
  if this is if they truly don't have a buyer lined up and
• 48:01
  they're looking for offers or they're negotiating offers and
• 48:06
  they aren't actually in the process of, you know, getting
• 48:09
  into what CrossFit, you know, making sure all their financials
• 48:12
  are right and all of that stuff. I think right after the Games
• 48:16
  makes the most sense. If they're already in that
• 48:18
  process and they're trying to expedite this and find somebody,
• 48:23
  maybe swoop in, they could possibly do it faster.
• 48:28
  I mean, they're not running anything for semis except for in
• 48:31
  affiliate semifinals. And so they don't have that
• 48:35
  burden besides planning the games.
• 48:39
  And so there's just not a. But that but that team's not
• 48:41
  going to do have anything to do with the sale.
• 48:43
  Right, right. And I understand that.
• 48:45
  But I guess like, you know, you buy a new thing and then all of
• 48:48
  a sudden they they have to run the games.
• 48:52
  Like hopefully that whole team is still engaged.
• 48:55
  It would just be I would be nervous about.
• 48:56
  Buying it, I would say, yeah. I mean, I, I do think regardless
• 49:02
  of what actually happens, even if nothing happens until the
• 49:05
  Games, it's a distraction bar none.
• 49:09
  Like I guarantee, you know, I've heard CrossFit had a meeting,
• 49:12
  you know, and had to kind of they they got little information
• 49:16
  before that all this went out right, which is expected.
• 49:20
  But you know, this afternoon they were all talking, texting
• 49:23
  each other, probably messaging each other.
• 49:25
  Like what do you think's happened or have you heard
• 49:27
  anything? Especially with them all being
• 49:29
  remote, like guaranteed they're jumping on calls texting each
• 49:33
  other. They're looking at Pedro's
• 49:35
  reels. They could be.
• 49:37
  They could be. Yeah.
• 49:38
  Waiting for a drunk Pedro to give them.
• 49:39
  Tell them what's going to happen.
• 49:41
  God that. 'D.
• 49:43
  Be a good reel right now. You never know.
• 49:48
  It kind of reminds me of when Berg was let go in the middle of
• 49:53
  the season, right? The team was pretty much intact.
• 49:57
  But I feel like it's just a distraction, like change is
• 50:02
  never. Great when you're.
• 50:03
  Trying to run some major thing, whether it's a competition or
• 50:07
  whatever else. And so whether it's sold
• 50:10
  beforehand, you have new leadership that has maybe they
• 50:14
  want to see something done quickly and differently, or
• 50:16
  you're just on the edge of your seat waiting for that to happen.
• 50:21
  So I doubt that anybody running the games is going to be Privy
• 50:25
  to the details of it. Barclay, this is.
• 50:32
  Yeah, CrossFit by Berkshire. Nice, that'll be all.
• 50:37
  Turntables. So yeah, I don't know.
• 50:42
  Go. Back watch Sousa and my and kind
• 50:45
  of Tyler show from about a month ago.
• 50:48
  I contributed. OK.
• 50:49
  We'll we'll share. With who?
• 50:52
  Did actually, if you go to my article that I wrote about it
• 50:54
  today, I I did link that video. So go back and check that out.
• 50:59
  Moving on to leaky, leaky 25.3. We know the workout, right?
• 51:08
  You know about? 18 workouts.
• 51:12
  There's one that I think shows. Up one than others though.
• 51:16
  Is that a I've? Heard I've.
• 51:17
  Heard 2 now, and if you listen, if you watch Pedro's around the
• 51:22
  whiteboard, I didn't get to see that.
• 51:28
  So I I did. Not either.
• 51:29
  Can you tell me? Yeah, so.
• 51:30
  So it's, you know, it's Dal and. Jason and James and he asked
• 51:37
  what? What's your prediction for?
• 51:38
  25.3 and. I'm trying.
• 51:42
  To remember Jason brought up like all of these movements, he
• 51:48
  brought up the the chipper style that has like deadlifts, rowing
• 51:52
  cleans, snatches and wall walks. So I've heard that one.
• 51:57
  I've heard that one, yeah. And then James brought up the 50
• 52:02
  row, 25 deadlift, 50 row, 25 wall walk.
• 52:07
  That's the one I think it is. That's the one I see more the.
• 52:10
  Most often. And then gallon, I think kind of
• 52:12
  went with that. 1 but wanted the row.
• 52:17
  At the end. Which I thought was was
• 52:20
  interesting. This is an interesting comment.
• 52:24
  Wonder why? You would ask that, Barkley.
• 52:26
  I don't know why. Yes, actually Dallin and Jason
• 52:31
  are lab management and all three are brute athletes.
• 52:35
  So take that for what it's. What it's worth?
• 52:40
  I I let me see if I can find it real quick.
• 52:42
  It was interesting watching Dallin's face when Jason started
• 52:50
  answering the question. Oh, really?
• 52:54
  Did he give a little spoilers in his face?
• 52:56
  I thought? I thought so.
• 52:59
  I. Do you, John?
• 53:00
  If it is leaked, how do you feel about that?
• 53:04
  Oh, wait. I know there's three wall walks
• 53:06
  in there. I heard there's three barbells.
• 53:08
  I think I'm going to go deadlift snatching power.
• 53:10
  One of you mute your tap your. Dog, but I could see.
• 53:13
  It ending starting with a 50. And ending with A50, so maybe
• 53:17
  those could be 25 reps, so maybe 50.
• 53:21
  I heard there's wall walks in there as well.
• 53:23
  So maybe like 5520 five 525-520-5550 If not it could be
• 53:32
  all 50s it goes 5555555555, who knows.
• 53:38
  OK. That made a lot of sense.
• 53:47
  They Sprague and Down both made a face.
• 53:51
  No, I, I I don't. Think that was a faces spoiler.
• 53:54
  I think they're laughing at Jason's ranting, at what it
• 53:57
  could be. They're like, where are you
• 54:00
  going with this? No listen.
• 54:02
  Listen as a guy. Who starts a lot of sentences
• 54:05
  and doesn't know where he's going and then finds, find,
• 54:07
  tries to find his way to the end of it.
• 54:10
  I know when that's happened to somebody else.
• 54:13
  And that's exactly what was going on with Jason in that
• 54:15
  moment. Jason was not aware of how this
• 54:17
  all. Worked.
• 54:18
  That was very obvious, but it was a good show.
• 54:23
  This is pretty good. If I create confusion, they
• 54:26
  won't expect anything. But the problem is if I create
• 54:28
  confusion, I made myself becoming confused.
• 54:32
  I I thought it was interesting. Though like they.
• 54:37
  All kind of had. The multiple different
• 54:40
  iterations of the same thing what we've heard, which is I, I.
• 54:50
  So you want to go question to your original.
• 54:52
  Question a lot of those guys talk about not.
• 54:54
  Caring about what the workouts are right or paying attention to
• 54:58
  all that noise. Yet they all had guesses that
• 55:01
  were. The rumors that have.
• 55:02
  Been swirling around, swerkling, swerkling around.
• 55:07
  Squirtle. Right.
• 55:12
  I I don't like it. You don't like what John Our.
• 55:17
  Transition. I.
• 55:20
  OK. If it is rowing, deadlifts and
• 55:23
  wild walks right, and especially if it's the 5025502550, I don't.
• 55:30
  I don't like. That we basically have known
• 55:33
  every single workout before the workout even came out every
• 55:37
  single week. I know you guys were in the dark
• 55:39
  on the 1st week a little bit, but I had heard that and I made,
• 55:43
  I wrote it for my athletes to do and it was a very, very similar
• 55:48
  version to it. In week 1 of it you made them do
• 55:52
  it twice. Well, we did it.
• 55:55
  On Tuesday and then we did it on Friday.
• 55:57
  It's a yeah, yeah. You know the That's two times,
• 56:00
  John. We did 22.3 that way too.
• 56:03
  But I don't I I want to be surprised.
• 56:09
  I want to not know. I want to like as soon as it
• 56:13
  comes out, figure out the best way to do it.
• 56:16
  I don't like knowing way beforehand.
• 56:22
  I did, I did really. I know yeah, yes, because I did
• 56:25
  not think so I had I got I found that right and I was like, I
• 56:31
  don't think I don't think that's it, but just in case it is,
• 56:35
  let's do it and see, you know what it feels like, right.
• 56:38
  But like the body weight lunges. I just thought there's no way
• 56:40
  they're going to do that. I was like, guys, just so you
• 56:42
  know, it's probably not this, but it could be.
• 56:45
  And then it ended up being exactly that.
• 56:46
  So and then, yeah. And then after that, I was like,
• 56:49
  OK, well, I'm going to trust where I got that from.
• 56:52
  And the I don't. It just takes the sales out,
• 56:57
  man. It makes it makes it less fun.
• 56:58
  Like part of the fun is not knowing.
• 57:00
  And then they announce it and nobody knows until that moment,
• 57:04
  right. And CrossFit used to like really
• 57:08
  be like this has to be a surprise, like the tightest.
• 57:12
  Thing ever I. Remember the first thing time
• 57:15
  CrossFit workout got leaked? They fired that person on the
• 57:19
  spot immediately when they found out who it was.
• 57:22
  And I don't I, I. I I.
• 57:27
  I want to be surprised. I don't want to know the
• 57:29
  workouts. I don't like that everybody
• 57:31
  knows it before it happens. And yeah, that's, that's that's
• 57:37
  my, that's my reaction to it. I don't like so the.
• 57:42
  Rumor that I've heard is that certain.
• 57:47
  Athlete. Organizations received it from
• 57:51
  on high specifically. That's crazy.
• 57:58
  Yeah. And so.
• 58:00
  But they from who though? Well, from the source, not from
• 58:06
  Dave. But from the source and that
• 58:11
  blows. That's true that 100%.
• 58:14
  That's because that means that somebody.
• 58:18
  Somebody's in there working in cahoots with the athlete
• 58:21
  organization and that just freaking nobody likes that.
• 58:26
  I'm I'd be really curious. Like how from Dave's
• 58:30
  perspective, when he sees or hears that, I do not know how
• 58:34
  that made. Me the bad guy at all I really.
• 58:38
  Really don't. Join JY.
• 58:40
  Barbell and get programmed Yeah, it's your fault, girl.
• 58:44
  Well, when? You first communicated that.
• 58:46
  You knew you, you thought you #1 you didn't communicate that you
• 58:49
  thought you knew them until the second week, basically, yes.
• 58:53
  So like and I, it was. Like you felt guilty for?
• 58:56
  Knowing I did, yeah. Because, well.
• 58:58
  One, OK, two things. One I was like, oh, shoot, like
• 59:04
  it was the. Workout.
• 59:05
  Right and then I didn't even because I remember Jr. texted
• 59:09
  body stop it right now we will I will block you so fast, whoever
• 59:15
  you are I will not eat Nuggets again because of your of your
• 59:20
  incompetence OK, but I won't eat them twice a week it's.
• 59:26
  More like 4 times a week. But anyway.
• 59:29
  Anyway. I and then because it was body
• 59:34
  weight lunges and then when Jr. texted like body weight lunges,
• 59:37
  like what the like I couldn't fathom that.
• 59:40
  And I was like, I should have thrown that out there just to
• 59:44
  get like I, I know y'all would have called me dumb the second I
• 59:47
  would have said this is out there, you know what I'm saying?
• 59:50
  Because because of that. And then and then and then I was
• 59:53
  like, but same source as 22.3 Week 2.
• 59:56
  That's the repeat. And, and it's been, it's been,
• 1:00:01
  it's been right. Yeah.
• 1:00:05
  I mean, I don't think if I if I would have somebody who had sent
• 1:00:08
  me that workout hold on. Guys, if somebody had sent you
• 1:00:15
  that workout, if somebody. Had sent me that workout.
• 1:00:18
  Ahead of time before 25.1, I've been like, OK, cool.
• 1:00:22
  Like I don't think I would have believed it or I wouldn't have
• 1:00:25
  gone to. I wouldn't have shared it on a
• 1:00:28
  story or article or on the show, right?
• 1:00:31
  Like, because we've seen things. Like that before and it ends up.
• 1:00:34
  Not being legit, sure, right? I thought we could see what
• 1:00:38
  that. Was, but then when you see it
• 1:00:40
  the first time and then you. Get a hint that you get it
• 1:00:43
  again. That's 22.3 is the repeat and
• 1:00:46
  all signs are pointing. To that.
• 1:00:49
  Like OK, now I'm now I believe it.
• 1:00:52
  And like when I posted the, the, the Dave's hint, right?
• 1:01:00
  And I've mentioned, like, you know, if there are leaks and
• 1:01:02
  whatever, it's not going to help me.
• 1:01:03
  And somebody commented like, well, why aren't you sharing it?
• 1:01:07
  You're just trying to protect CrossFit these days, right?
• 1:01:10
  Like, well, no, I put it in the article.
• 1:01:12
  First of all, you didn't read it.
• 1:01:13
  But second of all, like. I've seen multiple versions out
• 1:01:17
  there. I'm not going.
• 1:01:18
  To go say here's the workout, right?
• 1:01:21
  And like some people have asked me, go, go ahead.
• 1:01:23
  Go ahead, Yeah. In in the article, I'm like,
• 1:01:24
  hey, here's. What I've heard now at this
• 1:01:26
  point, right, But I, I, I don't have a time cap.
• 1:01:32
  I don't have Rep schemes on this whatever chipper with multiple
• 1:01:35
  types of lifts, like I don't have reps on those.
• 1:01:39
  Like I don't have all this information.
• 1:01:41
  So what do you want me to share? Like, hey, there's going to be
• 1:01:45
  deadlifts in rowing. So that's not a leak at that
• 1:01:48
  point, it's just a guess, right? And so you know.
• 1:01:52
  That's why I made that reel that I made.
• 1:01:54
  Because I was like, here's what I've heard.
• 1:01:56
  And then the the heavy Isabel thing was so stupid.
• 1:01:58
  I can't believe somebody guessed that.
• 1:02:01
  But it was those were legitimate, like rumors that I
• 1:02:04
  had heard and most of. Them very credible.
• 1:02:10
  And so I was like, hey, do you guys want to go out and try
• 1:02:13
  this? Or if you want to like get
• 1:02:15
  prepped, here's what I've heard. Now the playing field, they're
• 1:02:18
  like, I don't know how many people saw that reel.
• 1:02:20
  It's fucking level. Everybody knows.
• 1:02:23
  And that's my thing. Like if it, if it gets leaked #1
• 1:02:27
  like if you hear it twice, everybody you like, you just
• 1:02:32
  need to go ahead and put it on social media because everybody
• 1:02:34
  else needs to know. It's, it's freaking lame.
• 1:02:39
  So just go ahead and let everybody know because you're
• 1:02:41
  not leaking. I'd only heard the the. 3
• 1:02:44
  barbell lifts from one other person right where it's going to
• 1:02:48
  include. A clean and a.
• 1:02:49
  A snatch until Hopper said it right and then I was like, oh,
• 1:02:56
  but I've heard the 502550. From a bunch of I've heard it
• 1:02:59
  from several people right, but. My thing with that is.
• 1:03:02
  Always like am I getting a recycled version of like is
• 1:03:05
  everybody's source coming from the same individual source that
• 1:03:08
  started some they like it's a telephone thing, right?
• 1:03:12
  Are people talking about the rumor that?
• 1:03:13
  We started right like it goes back to the sale.
• 1:03:17
  Like when? When?
• 1:03:18
  Susan and I did that show and then it's like, dude, I heard
• 1:03:21
  that something that someone says buying it, like there's a rumor
• 1:03:24
  going out there. I'm like, yeah, we we're
• 1:03:26
  talking. Yeah.
• 1:03:27
  Are we the ones that started or are you here for?
• 1:03:29
  Somebody. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:03:30
  No, somebody gave me that. To you and I was like, yeah, we
• 1:03:33
  yeah, like yeah, that's been that's been that's been working
• 1:03:36
  for a while. Sure, if there's another group
• 1:03:39
  that's talking about it and it's coming.
• 1:03:40
  From a different angle, like sure, cool.
• 1:03:42
  Like and I think that's when when the three of us talk and we
• 1:03:46
  hear something, we probably have different sources.
• 1:03:49
  And so when two or three of us hear the same thing, we we're
• 1:03:52
  pretty sure it come from somebody else.
• 1:03:54
  Like, OK, then it there's some, there's some smoke there or fire
• 1:03:58
  there and, and typically like like.
• 1:04:00
  Very rarely do I find out something before spin does, and
• 1:04:06
  most of the time I I text either spin or the group.
• 1:04:10
  Have you heard blah blah blah blah blah right and spin?
• 1:04:15
  I would say 90% of the time spin always knows like 3 days before
• 1:04:19
  I know anything. But then So what?
• 1:04:21
  I don't. When he hasn't, When he doesn't
• 1:04:23
  know immediately, I think it's not right.
• 1:04:29
  The like the. Like, I mean, the only two
• 1:04:31
  things I can think of is one thing I'm not going to say, and
• 1:04:36
  then the other one is this workout and then three was
• 1:04:40
  Albany, NY and I. Don't even I.
• 1:04:45
  Quite frankly, I don't remember. And I don't know how I got that
• 1:04:47
  information before anybody else, but I immediately go to it's not
• 1:04:52
  real because spin, it's spin didn't know, you know what I
• 1:04:56
  mean? Because spin knows everything.
• 1:04:58
  I hope, Dave. Changes the workout.
• 1:05:01
  I know he said he wasn't going to, but if he did, I think it
• 1:05:04
  would be so cool if he's like, yeah, I can do what I want.
• 1:05:07
  I changed the workout. Let's make it heavier.
• 1:05:08
  The workout. If it's, I picked the.
• 1:05:13
  Dumbest option. Here we.
• 1:05:14
  Go. Can you imagine?
• 1:05:15
  That's the workout. It's it's shuttle run.
• 1:05:19
  It's 800. Meters of shuttle runs and line
• 1:05:21
  facing burpees. What if it was?
• 1:05:24
  What if it was? Heavy Isabel, but they just gave
• 1:05:27
  like different scaling options and then you always get above,
• 1:05:32
  you know, if you do one Rep at 155, you're like 8 different
• 1:05:35
  versions, yes. Yes, yes.
• 1:05:37
  And then like, you're like the level 4 Isabel, right?
• 1:05:41
  You're you're ahead of everybody that's Level 3 Isabel.
• 1:05:44
  And then level 8 Isabel is obviously, you know, the heavy
• 1:05:48
  Isabel, right? I'm sure that the leaderboard
• 1:05:50
  will have. No problem sorting that out.
• 1:05:52
  Why? Why would it?
• 1:05:55
  The leaderboard. 'S great, John it one.
• 1:05:57
  Rep it level 8. You're ahead of everybody at
• 1:05:59
  level 7. Somebody text me this morning.
• 1:06:02
  And they were like. What's your level right now?
• 1:06:04
  And it's just a dash mark. As for the actual open itself,
• 1:06:13
  so far, two weeks, Mir ham. Colton.
• 1:06:19
  Winning both and I don't like that I saw Clydesdale with I
• 1:06:25
  think it's data wad posted. All of the people who let's see
• 1:06:31
  if I can find it have who have won both of their 1st 2 weeks in
• 1:06:36
  their age group or adaptive division.
• 1:06:38
  By the way, great pool. I, I think we need to get credit
• 1:06:42
  to that cause it's not just the individual like this shows
• 1:06:45
  there's, it's a, it's a programming problem, right?
• 1:06:50
  And like, and I, and I've said it for a a while about
• 1:06:53
  individual, but the fact that 25 divisions out of all the
• 1:06:57
  divisions are the same person. And I get sometimes like an
• 1:07:01
  adaptive division. Somebody's just better than
• 1:07:03
  everybody else. But it's overwhelming.
• 1:07:08
  Yeah. I mean, there's.
• 1:07:09
  Definitely a lot more in. The adaptive divisions, I think
• 1:07:13
  there are more athletes who are just stand like they.
• 1:07:17
  Are head and. Shoulders above and probably
• 1:07:19
  going to win a lot of those those workouts, but to have the
• 1:07:24
  the open elite individual top 2 and then you have 6 age group
• 1:07:32
  division. Winners that have won.
• 1:07:33
  Both. Is that a problem?
• 1:07:38
  For a three-week open, yes, stop making it inclusive.
• 1:07:44
  Yeah, it's a problem. Program for the best people.
• 1:07:48
  And then you scale for the rest people, you can make gated
• 1:07:52
  workouts, you can you if this is it the inclusiveness that that's
• 1:08:00
  doing it or? Is it that the workouts are too
• 1:08:02
  they favor the same type? They're not they they wouldn't
• 1:08:05
  favor the same. If we weren't concentrated on
• 1:08:08
  making the workouts inclusive, is what I'm saying, does that,
• 1:08:12
  does that. Make sense, Ben?
• 1:08:13
  Because the second workout might have ring muscle UPS and I know
• 1:08:17
  we did bar muscle UPS, but ring muscle UPS and handstand push
• 1:08:20
  ups and freaking heavy snatches like from the jump.
• 1:08:25
  And then the OR you know, when I won 65 doesn't have to be heavy,
• 1:08:28
  but the same person's not winning that an event and
• 1:08:32
  workout won. I'm saying the same thing
• 1:08:37
  happened last year like the. It's about if he.
• 1:08:41
  Wasn't so focused on being inclusive.
• 1:08:43
  The same people wouldn't win every single workout.
• 1:08:46
  And I know the different movements, but it's it I don't
• 1:08:49
  think the inclusiveness has, I mean.
• 1:08:52
  It does when you can. Test harder.
• 1:08:54
  Things people will surpass other people, yeah, but you could do
• 1:08:58
  you could do rowing and. Deadlifts at 185 and you're
• 1:09:01
  probably going to have a different like if you did, if
• 1:09:04
  you did this next workout, right?
• 1:09:08
  And let's say it's. I mean even 220.
• 1:09:11
  Five. I don't say it's you think.
• 1:09:12
  Miriam von Rohr is the one of the fittest is the.
• 1:09:14
  Fittest woman in the world? Yeah.
• 1:09:18
  You think she's the fittest woman in the world?
• 1:09:20
  She's she's going to win the Open.
• 1:09:22
  Well, maybe. And she won the Open last year.
• 1:09:24
  Do you think Erica Fola? Was the fittest woman in the
• 1:09:25
  world. These women can't even make the
• 1:09:27
  games and they're killing the open like they did last year.
• 1:09:31
  We have open athletes now and I like and like, like I and I'm
• 1:09:35
  again and I, I think Colton gets a pass and then Colton's fit
• 1:09:38
  enough and he's gotten third in the open before.
• 1:09:40
  Like, I'm not, this isn't a dig at Colton, but we had,
• 1:09:43
  especially on the women's side, there are open athletes and that
• 1:09:48
  would not happen if you tested for the best and then just
• 1:09:51
  scaled it down for the rest. And it's going.
• 1:09:54
  And we used to program that way. We got away from 5 weeks, but
• 1:09:58
  the first week would look like what the leaderboard looks like
• 1:10:01
  now. And then the second week it
• 1:10:03
  would be completely different and it would go like that to
• 1:10:06
  five weeks. I'm sorry, Tyler.
• 1:10:08
  And then the the actual fittest people would rise to the top.
• 1:10:13
  I think the the. Differentiator in fitness is not
• 1:10:16
  all that it's, it's not drastic enough.
• 1:10:19
  So it's like 2025.2 is so short and the really the workout for
• 1:10:27
  the the top athletes is in that last round and there's just not
• 1:10:31
  much different differentiation you can make.
• 1:10:34
  And if so, if you're as fit as those guys proved to be in 25.1,
• 1:10:38
  you'll be fine. Now for the middle people.
• 1:10:41
  It's going to be different. For sure.
• 1:10:43
  But anybody at the top, it's like you're probably going to be
• 1:10:45
  about the same. It's they're too close.
• 1:10:47
  I understand that the workouts are different and they do test
• 1:10:50
  different things, but it's not different enough.
• 1:10:53
  And if it were just Colton and Miriam, I would not have the
• 1:10:57
  issue with it. It's that it's across divisions.
• 1:10:59
  It's that it's a Lassnie Aziz Azabel.
• 1:11:02
  And Marissa flowers. Marissa Flowers.
• 1:11:04
  Is 411 and like, she's really, really fit.
• 1:11:06
  She is, she's a fan record holder, right?
• 1:11:09
  But. She's 4 foot 11 and.
• 1:11:10
  Really good at a couple things. And if two of the three of those
• 1:11:14
  weeks are, that's what? If she's 7th place in the world,
• 1:11:19
  that would not happen in the past.
• 1:11:23
  Yeah, I, I will. Say I don't like the the
• 1:11:26
  watering down of the open. 10 years ago it was.
• 1:11:30
  Way different. It was just.
• 1:11:34
  Better if we went. Through all of the open scare
• 1:11:38
  you with the programming. 20. 14 to 2017, 2018, 2014 to 2018 go
• 1:11:44
  look at how those open weeks are programmed.
• 1:11:47
  Go go do it. And it's so much better to a
• 1:11:50
  ridiculous amount. And I'm not even talking like I
• 1:11:53
  think you need 25 point 125.1 should be the first Test.
• 1:11:57
  It's a great first week open test The second, the second week
• 1:12:02
  is, is all of the all of the the fittest people in the world can
• 1:12:07
  just go through the whole thing unbroken.
• 1:12:09
  It's it's it's bad. And they can.
• 1:12:15
  The the issue with a three-week open.
• 1:12:16
  I think people like the three-week open because it's
• 1:12:19
  easier to administer and it's not so long.
• 1:12:21
  But the problem is it binds you. As far as programming goes, I
• 1:12:24
  mean, we've talked about this a million times.
• 1:12:25
  There's just only so many types of workouts that you can do to
• 1:12:29
  test broadly in three weeks. And so 5 weeks you can kind of
• 1:12:33
  like expose people with different combinations a little
• 1:12:36
  bit more. You can get a little bit more
• 1:12:37
  niche. So it's like you can do that
• 1:12:39
  weightlifting event in one in one week because you can offset
• 1:12:44
  it with another niche event or two niche events in the in the
• 1:12:46
  rest of the week. You can't do that in a
• 1:12:48
  three-week open. And so it's like it's kind of
• 1:12:51
  always going to be like this. If we stick with the three-week
• 1:12:53
  open. I can't believe that I'm making
• 1:12:54
  an argument to go back to the five week open.
• 1:12:57
  But like if people want to really have fun with the
• 1:13:00
  programming in the open, the only way to go is the five week
• 1:13:05
  open. Could you?
• 1:13:06
  Could you ever see a time where the.
• 1:13:07
  House in the weekend. Yeah, could you ever see where
• 1:13:09
  they released 2? Workouts I would rather do.
• 1:13:13
  That dude in one week that. 'D be cool, yeah, do. 22 and
• 1:13:16
  then one. Yeah, and maybe give an.
• 1:13:18
  Extra day to submit. Your score like till Tuesday or
• 1:13:21
  something? I think that's much better.
• 1:13:23
  Much better. And then you can't repeat so
• 1:13:25
  many times. And if you want to, you can, but
• 1:13:28
  I think 221 and that way you can like it's the opens the same
• 1:13:32
  every single year it's the same, I will agree.
• 1:13:36
  With every year I mean if it it really is deadlifts and rowing
• 1:13:41
  tomorrow like hang clean. And jerks and.
• 1:13:47
  Burpees over a dumbbell? Pretty darn close.
• 1:13:51
  You got thrusters and gymnastics pretty close, and now you got
• 1:13:55
  deadlifts and rowing pretty close.
• 1:13:58
  Like there aren't that many differences.
• 1:14:00
  Like, yeah, you throw it in jump rope with your gymnastics and
• 1:14:02
  thrusters like it's, it's boring.
• 1:14:07
  It's the same. Go look at the last like.
• 1:14:09
  Four years of. The open it's it's boring and
• 1:14:14
  I'm. I'm it did not.
• 1:14:15
  Used to be that way. I feel like everybody needs to
• 1:14:18
  go look at the workouts that were programmed in 2014 to 28.
• 1:14:22
  Oh man, they were. And that's what I'm.
• 1:14:24
  Saying like it's beautiful and I'm not.
• 1:14:26
  Saying like, go ahead, go ahead. I'm sorry.
• 1:14:28
  It just it didn't matter who you.
• 1:14:30
  Were you were going to get exposed in at least one week, It
• 1:14:33
  made it made everybody nervous because you are always going to
• 1:14:37
  do something that either hurt really bad or that you couldn't
• 1:14:40
  do like that you didn't know if you could pull off or not and a
• 1:14:43
  lot of times. Sorry, no, you're doing good,
• 1:14:48
  John. You're.
• 1:14:49
  Overcompensating now. A lot of times.
• 1:14:53
  There would, there would usually be one week where you only could
• 1:14:58
  do 10 reps, Yeah, like, like for a lot of people in your
• 1:15:01
  affiliate and it didn't everybody, everybody's
• 1:15:03
  different, right? But there would be one week
• 1:15:06
  where you could only do 10 reps in that workout.
• 1:15:09
  Like it was a badge of honor to say that you RX the open Well,
• 1:15:13
  the four, the four week or the. 4 minute gated workouts.
• 1:15:17
  How many people just did 4 minutes of work and were like
• 1:15:20
  that's it, see ya. See ya and that's.
• 1:15:23
  Not a bad thing. It gives you something to strive
• 1:15:26
  for. But like and like you you used
• 1:15:29
  to be like. You're considered pretty fit if
• 1:15:31
  you can RX all of the workouts. That's what it was considered
• 1:15:35
  pretty fit and now it's it's laughable.
• 1:15:38
  Freaking Grant RX is the workouts catching.
• 1:15:42
  Strays. Damn.
• 1:15:44
  He does. He's he's been playing.
• 1:15:46
  Games he he made it look like he did way better than me last time
• 1:15:49
  and then he redid it and did he did do better, but keeping it
• 1:15:53
  real 23.1 No, no, he he put a reel out or story out.
• 1:15:58
  He showed himself doing like all these bar muscle ups and he's
• 1:16:02
  like, dude, I beat. You by 1.
• 1:16:04
  I redid it on. Monday and I beat you by like.
• 1:16:06
  Seven or something like that. Oh damn, he wasn't.
• 1:16:10
  He wasn't going to tell me that, and I was.
• 1:16:11
  Like I don't, I don't have the ability to go redo this thing on
• 1:16:14
  on Monday, but he's really lucky.
• 1:16:17
  The double unders. In his workout are irrelevant,
• 1:16:20
  giving a real go against. Me and 24.1 right now some.
• 1:16:27
  Dumbbell snatches in a. Burpees.
• 1:16:31
  We we should say too though. That we're saying that the
• 1:16:35
  workouts are boring, the open's still cool, I'm still having
• 1:16:38
  great time in the open. It's just there's some tuning we
• 1:16:43
  can do to make it more. I think again, I think when.
• 1:16:46
  You look at the middle of the leaderboard, it's still a good
• 1:16:50
  test for where you are right? And and probably even like the.
• 1:16:55
  Outside the top 10%. And even even I think even two
• 1:16:59
  to 10% still get something out of it, but when you're looking.
• 1:17:03
  At the top of the top. I would say the open from 10
• 1:17:08
  years ago was a better test to see who was really there and it
• 1:17:12
  mattered more like you had to be top 20 in your region to go to.
• 1:17:17
  The next stage like. You had to do it and it had to
• 1:17:20
  actually filter it out. The Open is still for these, the
• 1:17:23
  top athletes. It's the pre season.
• 1:17:27
  You can see how how little Tia. Trained or work worked at it and
• 1:17:30
  she still easily topped 1%. Like it's not even hard.
• 1:17:33
  No. And that's that's.
• 1:17:35
  What sucks is it's no longer a test for the fittest on Earth.
• 1:17:38
  It's a it's just an entrance into the season and that that's
• 1:17:43
  what kind of blows. Grant wants to go against John
• 1:17:45
  in 24. .1 I don't. I think Grant would win that
• 1:17:47
  one. I'll kill myself before I lose.
• 1:17:50
  The grant no work. I.
• 1:17:52
  I don't think your burpees would do so.
• 1:17:54
  Hot grant you have to do 100 bar facing.
• 1:17:56
  Burpees in under 5 minutes before I even entertain doing
• 1:18:00
  anything against you. OK, you have to.
• 1:18:02
  That's where you have to get before you we could even do
• 1:18:05
  anything. And then we'll go live on the
• 1:18:06
  spin just to see what happens. OK, we'll see how you do under
• 1:18:09
  pressure. John's.
• 1:18:11
  Mcnuggets dealer members. Won't care that much.
• 1:18:13
  If they had to scale, I don't care much.
• 1:18:17
  Now that's the What are you talking about?
• 1:18:20
  That's the difference in the. Attitude of where?
• 1:18:22
  We are today versus where we were and what Crossfit's
• 1:18:24
  attitude was 10 years ago. Yeah, the early.
• 1:18:28
  Days it was we do hard things and if I can't do it, I'm going
• 1:18:32
  to work to get it and I suck because I don't get it.
• 1:18:35
  Now it's we got to make sure everybody feels good and can do
• 1:18:38
  it. Like you see it questions the
• 1:18:39
  days we can review. How dare you put pull ups in
• 1:18:43
  there? Or how dare you put double
• 1:18:46
  unders in there that's too high skilled to have double unders.
• 1:18:49
  Go do high rocks. Goodbye I.
• 1:18:51
  Don't want you here. Yeah, I can't compare myself to
• 1:18:53
  the top. If you can't do double unders
• 1:18:56
  and can't do pull ups like Dave said, that's the point.
• 1:18:59
  Don't compare yourself. To those guys.
• 1:19:01
  Like you're so far away removed from that.
• 1:19:04
  Like it doesn't matter Grant if this is the.
• 1:19:08
  Case man, then I don't I. Don't want to be a part of?
• 1:19:12
  Your school 'cause you have no idea what hard actually is, man,
• 1:19:15
  you got no clue. You're talking as a High Rockser
• 1:19:18
  right now and you don't even know it 'cause you're new to
• 1:19:21
  CrossFit and it's sad. You would love CrossFit so much
• 1:19:24
  more if you knew what it was. Yeah, education.
• 1:19:29
  It was so. I mean like I'm, I remember in
• 1:19:31
  2014. Like having terrible scores and
• 1:19:34
  just being stoked and then just being stoked.
• 1:19:36
  A lot of people did decent. Did, yeah.
• 1:19:40
  Or, or just like getting to some a part of the workout and not
• 1:19:43
  being able to do it. And then that's driving me the
• 1:19:47
  entire year. I'm not going to get to a piece
• 1:19:50
  of workout next year and not be able to do it.
• 1:19:53
  And it's, it's not that it's embarrassing or I feel bad about
• 1:19:55
  myself, it's that, no, I need to accomplish that.
• 1:19:57
  That's what I wanted. And it's like, that's what the
• 1:20:00
  open should be. OK, you only got 1 pull up in
• 1:20:02
  the open this year. No big deal.
• 1:20:04
  Work get 2 pull ups. Get 10 pull ups next year.
• 1:20:08
  But when we have. 18 different divisions.
• 1:20:10
  And scales and foundations it, it waters it down, and it's just
• 1:20:13
  meaningless. Was it 16 point?
• 1:20:15
  Was it 16? .2 that's the swap mean one.
• 1:20:20
  The game swap mean one yeah, like.
• 1:20:25
  What was it, 3032 people? Finished the workout.
• 1:20:30
  That was it. That was it, 32.
• 1:20:32
  People in the entire world on men's side finished the workout,
• 1:20:35
  and that was a workout like if you.
• 1:20:37
  Made it to the 225 bar like you're pretty good like I not
• 1:20:43
  not. The world, but like.
• 1:20:44
  At your gym. Like you were.
• 1:20:45
  Pretty good, yes, Double under toast so hard and like the 225
• 1:20:49
  bar. If you got past that bar, then
• 1:20:51
  you're freaking fit. And then it took it took a lot
• 1:20:54
  of you know, but there's nothing.
• 1:20:56
  There's nothing that we do. Where only 30 people finish,
• 1:21:00
  right? Like imagine throwing AA300.
• 1:21:04
  And 50 LB or 360 LB. Squat clean at.
• 1:21:08
  The end, right? And it'd be nice if you wouldn't
• 1:21:14
  get there. If I could put my.
• 1:21:16
  Body in just 20 like 15 dude, it would be so, so awesome.
• 1:21:23
  I'm telling y'all, the perception of my fitness would
• 1:21:26
  be wildly different because the scores that would happen on that
• 1:21:30
  versus what happens now. It's just it's it's
• 1:21:33
  embarrassing. Yeah.
• 1:21:35
  I mean, I mean. That that is the level of
• 1:21:38
  difficulty it was back then. Like they made it so hard that
• 1:21:41
  only 32 men could finish the workout.
• 1:21:45
  I actually want to. Do that.
• 1:21:46
  I'm going to do that. Workout this week or next,
• 1:21:49
  'cause I just want to know. I remember not being able to get
• 1:21:52
  to the 225 bar and then watching people.
• 1:21:54
  That was the one where people figured out you could do singles
• 1:21:57
  so it would keep your heart rate lower.
• 1:21:59
  And then see you were having guys getting to the 225 bar that
• 1:22:01
  couldn't clean it because they did singles all the way through
• 1:22:04
  the Toast bar. Yeah.
• 1:22:07
  I mean that that workout. So you just got.
• 1:22:09
  To be really fit to to do that workout.
• 1:22:11
  It was a good one, man. Did you luck out?
• 1:22:14
  You're so funny. Pink shorts, man.
• 1:22:16
  I, I just pray that I could look like whatever you look like one
• 1:22:19
  day. I, I trust me like, man, you
• 1:22:23
  don't understand. I'm going to go to sleep
• 1:22:25
  tonight. And it didn't just be thinking
• 1:22:27
  about how I my body doesn't look the way pink shorts wants me to
• 1:22:31
  look man. Like it's just everything about
• 1:22:35
  you it it just makes me want to be better.
• 1:22:37
  I'm so sorry that I did not meet your standard.
• 1:22:41
  I hope pink shorts is. Jacked as fuck.
• 1:22:46
  Hey, you know what? Pink shorts.
• 1:22:48
  Listen, I'm going to be in Albany, NY sometime in sometime
• 1:22:51
  in August. When when is the game spin?
• 1:22:53
  It's. August 1st weekend of August.
• 1:22:56
  What's the date? I'd say you.
• 1:23:00
  Come meet me in Albany. New York pink shorts and we'll
• 1:23:03
  see what's what. We could set up an Octagon and
• 1:23:06
  me and you can go at it and that can be the tune up for the
• 1:23:09
  CrossFit Games. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Sev, they can
• 1:23:13
  go. After us, so we'll be the
• 1:23:15
  undercard Sevon can sponsor it. I don't even I don't know what
• 1:23:18
  you look like pink shorts, but I will make my life's mission to
• 1:23:22
  make this fight happen and it's going to be you and me right
• 1:23:25
  before the CrossFit games Everybody can watch.
• 1:23:28
  Let's do it. If you take me up on it, I I
• 1:23:30
  hope you're like crazy good at fighting too, just because that
• 1:23:34
  would make it fun. I, I might get knocked out, but
• 1:23:37
  I'll, I'll have a good time doing it.
• 1:23:39
  And if you're not, man, I hope he's good.
• 1:23:43
  Good luck. I got about 30 seconds of
• 1:23:46
  vicious Viking power that's coming for you, and then after
• 1:23:51
  that I might run out of gas. We know before.
• 1:23:54
  We move on to blind. Rankings David went Either T is
• 1:23:58
  out or she's trying to make 2020 but a challenge for her by
• 1:24:01
  seeing if she can still win without muscle.
• 1:24:05
  Yeah. I mean, you guys start
• 1:24:07
  challenging yourself, do you think?
• 1:24:10
  Tia. We will see Tia at the CrossFit
• 1:24:12
  Games this year. Yeah, I think she'll.
• 1:24:14
  I think she'll still. Win.
• 1:24:17
  She's not going to the game you. Think she You think she's not?
• 1:24:18
  Doing it I think. She's out, I think.
• 1:24:21
  She's well, what makes you think she's out?
• 1:24:24
  I just. Think she's geared up for high
• 1:24:26
  rocks and I think that's OK. Oh, I do too.
• 1:24:30
  I got. Nothing.
• 1:24:30
  There's no. I have no qualms if she's not
• 1:24:33
  in, but this is what you want, John?
• 1:24:37
  Yeah. No, no.
• 1:24:38
  I. Don't care either way, I just
• 1:24:40
  think that she, I don't know y'all might be right.
• 1:24:43
  I have no. Feeling if about it at all.
• 1:24:46
  I love that she is doing the. Open the way that she's doing
• 1:24:50
  it. I think it's cool.
• 1:24:51
  Like her little videos. I do wish that they'd like
• 1:24:53
  actually put the camera on Shane and Kiefer going like teaming up
• 1:24:59
  to try to beat her in the workout and still not beating
• 1:25:01
  her in the workout. But it but it's cool, like she's
• 1:25:04
  doing these little challenges and like she's still having fun
• 1:25:06
  in the open. She's still doing the open.
• 1:25:08
  She still did 25.2 and twice in a couple hours.
• 1:25:12
  See. Yeah, she did it twice.
• 1:25:14
  I love what she's doing and still being involved and it's
• 1:25:18
  like if she doesn't go to the games, like you won, you're
• 1:25:20
  playing side missions now and that's fucking cool.
• 1:25:24
  Yeah, I just listening to her. I.
• 1:25:26
  Think she did the The Seal Foundation podcast and she's
• 1:25:30
  talking about, you know, where it's very difficult to get fast
• 1:25:34
  and maintain muscle and like she made a comment that that was
• 1:25:37
  like the first time she's really touched a barbell since Rogue at
• 1:25:41
  25.2. She she also spoke.
• 1:25:45
  About sorry. Joan.
• 1:25:46
  She also spoke about her. Like.
• 1:25:51
  Competitively in a past tense. In their most recent video, I.
• 1:25:57
  Don't think I caught that. Yeah, she was talking about.
• 1:26:01
  Like back when I used to do this, that's kind of how she
• 1:26:04
  phrased something. I was like, Oh yeah, like
• 1:26:07
  mindset wise. Like back when I was serious.
• 1:26:10
  Yeah, you know. OK, so.
• 1:26:13
  I'll, I'll, OK. I I don't.
• 1:26:16
  Disagree with you? Guys, I I honestly have no idea.
• 1:26:22
  But. I think if she chose to do the
• 1:26:25
  games, she would still win. That's what I'm that's what I'm
• 1:26:29
  saying. Not if she's in the shape like
• 1:26:31
  not. Maybe if she gears up she
• 1:26:33
  totally drops high rocks. I just keep the middle of the
• 1:26:36
  pack and the strength events. And and I think she's fitter and
• 1:26:41
  like endurance wise, she's fitter.
• 1:26:43
  Dude. That would be wild if she.
• 1:26:45
  If she still went and she's I mean imagine her gymnastics.
• 1:26:48
  Right now dude like I'm talking the only thing that takes a hit
• 1:26:50
  is her lifting and she would even if she's middle she still
• 1:26:55
  she would still. Win dude.
• 1:26:56
  She she wins by. Like 200 points, man I, I,
• 1:26:59
  there's no and Laura's not here. It's not even like somebody else
• 1:27:02
  is better than everybody else. She.
• 1:27:03
  Has to be. Better than Alexis Raptors like
• 1:27:05
  I don't know how I would feel about it if she.
• 1:27:08
  It's not half assing because she's still doing high rocks and
• 1:27:11
  CrossFit but if she was like I'm going to do this on the side
• 1:27:15
  that would be insane. I just.
• 1:27:19
  Think she's too much better than?
• 1:27:21
  Everybody else to to like I would still bet on her to win
• 1:27:25
  and and like very complicated if she goes to the games yes, she.
• 1:27:30
  Is doing something to win. I just don't think she's not
• 1:27:34
  going to go to the games and not be there to win and I don't
• 1:27:37
  think she's going to risk going to the games and losing because
• 1:27:40
  she's not training at 100%. This is a.
• 1:27:47
  This is a good point. It's very.
• 1:27:48
  Young. I bet she puts on that.
• 1:27:50
  Muscle. Back so fast that Hillary makes
• 1:27:53
  a video. Maybe she could.
• 1:27:57
  I I. I I would.
• 1:27:59
  Prefer if she didn't see I, Alan.
• 1:28:03
  Alan Pugh Why would she do Torian though?
• 1:28:06
  So Torian put out a list of all of their past champions and
• 1:28:12
  collaborate with all of them. I mean, CJ Walker, I don't he'll
• 1:28:19
  CJ Walker, dude, he's. He's he was like.
• 1:28:22
  On CJ Walker's The Truth Man. He did regionals back in the day
• 1:28:27
  I. Believe they have been on a team
• 1:28:29
  at the games like Brandon Swan. The truth, John.
• 1:28:34
  Yeah, dude, CJ. Walker ain't playing around.
• 1:28:36
  Man, I. I'm not.
• 1:28:40
  Convinced that just because Torian.
• 1:28:42
  Made this that she's competing. Wait, but doesn't it say like
• 1:28:48
  committed or? Something what accepted.
• 1:28:52
  It says accepted behind them. I still don't believe.
• 1:28:56
  It I don't believe it. Those are so cool.
• 1:28:59
  Graphics. Those, those are really neat.
• 1:29:02
  I'm not. I'm going with.
• 1:29:04
  She may have accepted. Maybe she goes and.
• 1:29:06
  Does it, but I don't think she accepts her invite to the games.
• 1:29:13
  I just don't see you're putting yourself in jeopardy.
• 1:29:16
  To have a risk of not winning. So you need to actually train
• 1:29:23
  CrossFit. For the next.
• 1:29:25
  I just think she. Still wins.
• 1:29:26
  She's so. Much better than everybody, man.
• 1:29:29
  I just think I don't if she goes to, sorry.
• 1:29:35
  If she goes to. If she goes.
• 1:29:38
  To Torian. Like, it still could be her
• 1:29:41
  contributing, competing and like, you know, doing her thing,
• 1:29:46
  giving back to Australia and her community.
• 1:29:49
  And that would be cool. And if she didn't make it to the
• 1:29:51
  Games, even if she did, I think she may just be like.
• 1:29:55
  No, sorry, I'm I'm. I'm going to.
• 1:29:57
  Retire 3rd place gets it. That's true.
• 1:30:01
  She could win. And be like, this is my last
• 1:30:03
  competition. I wanted it to do it in
• 1:30:05
  Australia like like she, you can make a thing out of it.
• 1:30:07
  This is where I this is where I started and this is where I want
• 1:30:10
  to end it. Gracie Walton, you get to go to
• 1:30:14
  the games if she. Won and then handed.
• 1:30:18
  The ticket to the games to Gracie?
• 1:30:19
  That would suck so well, they get they they get.
• 1:30:21
  They get two though, right? They get 2, they get 2 spots.
• 1:30:24
  Maddie start, you get. To go to the.
• 1:30:26
  Games I like, I like that. I could see that.
• 1:30:30
  I like that a lot, too. I just, yeah.
• 1:30:32
  Let's let Tia that's what you should do.
• 1:30:34
  If you're not doing the games. That's what that's what that's
• 1:30:37
  what you should do and then all the best to you and high rocks.
• 1:30:39
  I hope you take it over John Young, public Relations.
• 1:30:43
  Manager. That's right.
• 1:30:45
  Blind rankings I'm excited about.
• 1:30:49
  This one no wrong. One we skipped wrong.
• 1:30:51
  Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's.
• 1:30:53
  That's that's a. Little preview of what's coming
• 1:30:55
  up. Blind rankings.
• 1:30:59
  Before we get into blind rankings, though, we need to
• 1:31:01
  keep John awake. I don't know.
• 1:31:05
  How you caught that, we're going to go.
• 1:31:09
  Look at the top performances open.
• 1:31:14
  Colton Merton still sitting there.
• 1:31:15
  Number one, obviously, Nicholas Bedone in second.
• 1:31:19
  Drake Lewis moved up. So did Brandon.
• 1:31:22
  Nikki Rogers, CJ Gerald made his appearance on the top 10 on the
• 1:31:25
  men's side. So did Josh Mattis and Mathias
• 1:31:29
  Porter. All in there.
• 1:31:30
  Zane Healy, his first bar muscle up since shoulder surgery.
• 1:31:35
  Still killed it. Still did it.
• 1:31:38
  Hannah Hardy sitting there in the top women's spot.
• 1:31:41
  Nicolette Torrigiani moves up. Samantha Pugh moves up.
• 1:31:45
  Morgan Porter moves up. And Lido Callo Gianni hanging
• 1:31:48
  tough. Nataya Flores moved into the top
• 1:31:54
  ten, and then so did Becca Voight Miller and Haley Camphor.
• 1:31:58
  So some new people moving in, even though he said it's too,
• 1:32:02
  too similar. We got some new people moving up
• 1:32:04
  into the top ten. As for some honorable mentions,
• 1:32:10
  John Kim, he's now 4th in his age group for Tyler's Trash.
• 1:32:14
  Oh yeah, John. Timmy.
• 1:32:16
  Saunders, I looked. Up his profile.
• 1:32:18
  Very much huge yes. Tammy Saunders.
• 1:32:22
  So if you watched 25.2 and you saw the two, the man and the
• 1:32:26
  woman who were talking about their foundation and some of the
• 1:32:30
  charity work they were doing, Tammy was that woman there.
• 1:32:34
  So she was the one that was on. Oh, really?
• 1:32:37
  Yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 1:32:38
  I remember you posted that. It's.
• 1:32:39
  Cool, I'm not a big fan that all.
• 1:32:41
  Of the most improved is meatspin.
• 1:32:46
  On the yeah. On the men's side down there, we
• 1:32:49
  need it though. Well, I am the women's side.
• 1:32:51
  I mean, Tyler, you have. You have five of the six most
• 1:32:53
  improved. That's right.
• 1:32:55
  That's because we needed it from the.
• 1:32:56
  First week we were last played and and I have nobody it's.
• 1:33:00
  Just not looking great. No, you're not doing so hot.
• 1:33:02
  And then. The three of us, I dropped down
• 1:33:05
  from 33rd to 39 thousandth. Johnny moved up 13,000 spots and
• 1:33:10
  then Tyler moved up a few thousand.
• 1:33:12
  So good job, Tyler. And then that.
• 1:33:16
  Quarterfinals. That 10, that 10%.
• 1:33:21
  I really am now. Now it's like if I don't.
• 1:33:24
  Make it. I'm going to be really pissed.
• 1:33:25
  I'm at 92nd right now. Isn't it Well.
• 1:33:28
  Is it the top 12% that's in the second tier your level?
• 1:33:32
  But I I kind of want to just stay in.
• 1:33:34
  The top 10% I think this is going to be my lowest open I've.
• 1:33:37
  Had since like 2018. This is like this.
• 1:33:40
  I'm not kidding. Like, because I'm pretty sure
• 1:33:44
  I've beaten Tyler like every single year until until this
• 1:33:48
  year, and rowing and deadlets are not going to be your thing.
• 1:33:52
  I mean versus the population? I I think I'll go up with that
• 1:33:55
  workout. Yeah, I think you'll be OK.
• 1:33:57
  I don't think I'll. I don't think I'll beat.
• 1:33:59
  Tyler, but I think not if it ends with 25.
• 1:34:03
  Wall blocks. Not if there's 50 Cal row at the
• 1:34:05
  end though, you know. Yeah, there's who who sends it.
• 1:34:08
  Who sends it the most? You know, I don't think you'll
• 1:34:11
  catch Tyler on that, but that's I'm.
• 1:34:13
  Not saying I will, but I I do. Think I will go up is all I'm
• 1:34:16
  saying. Oh yeah, sure.
• 1:34:17
  Yeah. Wait, do you guys know the
• 1:34:19
  workout? I've heard it.
• 1:34:21
  Standings. We got a little bit of a gap, a
• 1:34:23
  little bit of a gap. I'm nervous there with 82.
• 1:34:27
  Percentile. We did have four people not
• 1:34:32
  submit scores, so you're looking at the top of 111 for each of
• 1:34:37
  our teams. So it is a little bit different,
• 1:34:39
  but overall we all went up in a percentile, so we're all moving
• 1:34:42
  up. Do you want to start with last
• 1:34:47
  place? Last.
• 1:34:48
  Place he meets Ben. We are.
• 1:34:51
  We're still trailing. But you were you were 70.
• 1:34:54
  Five last time and you moved up. Four points.
• 1:34:57
  We're moving up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:34:59
  We are doing better. Next, we'll look at who's in
• 1:35:02
  first place. Oh no.
• 1:35:07
  Oh, and he he extended the lead too, because we were like within
• 1:35:12
  the same percentage point. Tyler.
• 1:35:14
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:35:16
  Who? Was going to be nervous so it's
• 1:35:18
  coming down to the last. Week there's definitely some
• 1:35:20
  movement that's available this is clear that the 1st 2:00.
• 1:35:23
  Weeks are just exactly alike because this shows it.
• 1:35:27
  This is the data, right? Do we have enough lead to
• 1:35:30
  extend? To extend to the wind, we'll see
• 1:35:31
  how. We'll see how tall Tyler.
• 1:35:33
  'S athletes are don't let me down athletes, please.
• 1:35:37
  Tyler has all the short team and we.
• 1:35:39
  Got to go 3 for three here. Cycle those thrusters fast.
• 1:35:42
  What if we 3. Like Tyler takes.
• 1:35:45
  Like A7. Percent dip like down, yeah, we.
• 1:35:50
  Need to. We need to hurry.
• 1:35:51
  Up, meet, spin, do some, do well, this one and hopefully.
• 1:35:56
  Beat, he can do the. The seven minutes of burpees,
• 1:36:00
  Yeah, I need a spin like improvement to.
• 1:36:02
  Week 3. That's right.
• 1:36:04

  I'm saying Malik. It's Malik.
• 1:36:43
  He's. A He's a great dude.
• 1:36:45
  Going to be a fearless leader. Everything Malik will say will
• 1:36:49
  be inspirational and amazing. He will lead the affiliates into
• 1:36:52
  the green all over the world. He's going to add 30 million
• 1:36:56
  Crossfitters to CrossFit. He's a great guy.
• 1:36:59

  for. Ulterior motives, John.
• 1:37:16
  No, no, no. You're good.
• 1:37:20
  Hey, I'm associated with you. You know, whatever you end up
• 1:37:23
  running, I will probably end up on the same thing.
• 1:37:27
  Sort of kinda, you know what I mean?
• 1:37:29
  Like they're in and out jobs. Well, I mean like I'm.
• 1:37:31
  I've just said he's with Tyler and he kissed your ass.
• 1:37:34
  I mean I didn't kissed your ass. John just needs 50,000.
• 1:37:36
  I got the. Two that.
• 1:37:38
  Will make the greatest predictions you've ever seen.
• 1:37:41
  I've never seen somebody as accurate as this guy.
• 1:37:43
  All you got to do is pay him $50,000.
• 1:37:45
  A a year and he's got a little bit of tism, but I promise you
• 1:37:48
  it's worth it. All right, let's see how you.
• 1:37:51
  Guys, rank a potential new CEO, the first one, Dana White.
• 1:37:57
  I. Love Dana White.
• 1:38:06
  Yeah, I'm with it. I'll take Dana White.
• 1:38:07
  All day, dude, Dana White's amazing, man dude coming out hot
• 1:38:12
  I. Don't know that we've.
• 1:38:13
  Ever ranked somebody number one out the gate?
• 1:38:15
  Dude, I don't, I don't care. Like.
• 1:38:17
  I I love everything about what he would bring.
• 1:38:22
  Yeah. Wanna love?
• 1:38:24
  I have no idea. What Malik means, But it's
• 1:38:26
  MALEK, so if that changes your question, it's a dude's name.
• 1:38:31
  Wanna. Yeah, let's see.
• 1:38:34
  Next up, Jocko Willink, 3/4. Why 4 Are you?
• 1:38:45
  Are you? Set on 4.
• 1:38:48
  I think 4 gives us more flexibility all.
• 1:38:53
  Right, this is the most this. Is the most.
• 1:38:56
  OK, name I've ever seen 4I I mean like.
• 1:39:00
  He does like he. Owns this company.
• 1:39:02
  That's cool. What else he makes, He makes
• 1:39:05
  the. The the Mulk, that's I know what
• 1:39:07
  he you could. Drink a million of those red.
• 1:39:10
  Drinks. I know who he is.
• 1:39:15
  I He runs a. Company that they like they
• 1:39:18
  their expertise is like vision and and execution and bringing
• 1:39:23
  teams back together. So it's like he would definitely
• 1:39:25
  have the expertise to do it. I don't know like it would be,
• 1:39:28
  I'm thinking our European folks would have a hard time with
• 1:39:32
  Jocko being the, the, the guy. So could be 4.
• 1:39:36
  I'll go with four next. Up Elon Musk.
• 1:39:46
  Oh, that should have been one. Just 'cause we have.
• 1:39:47
  We'd have so much money. Are you kidding me?
• 1:39:50
  I, I think somehow we would get money just be doing what we do.
• 1:39:56
  Elon Musk is. Two, I don't.
• 1:39:58
  Care if he doesn't know anything about CrossFit at all.
• 1:40:00
  All of a sudden, World Fitness Project is no more because the
• 1:40:05
  game's just going to pay 2 million to the winner and 40th
• 1:40:09
  place gets $5000. I'll.
• 1:40:16
  I want to say 3. We'll give John the two.
• 1:40:19
  Do you? Do you understand?
• 1:40:21
  What would happen if Elon Musk bought CrossFit?
• 1:40:24
  Yeah, but he's also a company. Guy, yeah, I think.
• 1:40:28
  He might. He might.
• 1:40:31
  He's not going to care about anything that we care about,
• 1:40:33
  John. Exactly, exactly, I think.
• 1:40:35
  Elon would just be like, oh, this is cool.
• 1:40:37
  I'll just give you guys what you need and I'll help you guys.
• 1:40:39
  And then you guys just run with it.
• 1:40:42
  Here's a. Here's a.
• 1:40:43
  Here's a pot of money. Go do it.
• 1:40:45
  That's what exactly what he. Would do?
• 1:40:47
  Are you kidding me? Maybe Tesla will be the.
• 1:40:51
  Sponsor of the. CrossFit Games, like he'll see
• 1:40:53
  it as a marketing opportunity. Oh yeah, then it's a 5 dude, he.
• 1:40:57
  Bought Twitter and. And like doesn't care if he's
• 1:41:01
  losing. Money he has so.
• 1:41:02
  Much money It's not about making money.
• 1:41:04
  Does that make sense? He he would, he would self.
• 1:41:08
  Like populate the team competition in like 15 years
• 1:41:13
  they'll. Populate the team.
• 1:41:14
  Competition, we just got a lot. Of cook for a while that's.
• 1:41:19
  Right next. Up Daniel Chafee 3 based on just
• 1:41:28
  what I hear about. Daniel, I do hear he's good.
• 1:41:31
  Same. Just not as good as Elon Musk.
• 1:41:33
  Last one he doesn't have AS. Much money as Elon.
• 1:41:37
  Musk. I think you guys.
• 1:41:44
  Won, I think, you guys. Won.
• 1:41:46
  I think you did. Last one.
• 1:41:48
  Frank. Frank.
• 1:41:49
  Frank. Yeah.
• 1:41:49
  Let's. Go.
• 1:41:54
  Yeah. Guys, if you don't.
• 1:41:56
  If you don't know who Frank is, good.
• 1:41:58
  We don't want we, we don't care about Frank I.
• 1:42:03
  Was hoping one of you guys. Would put somebody.
• 1:42:04
  Down there in five. Oh, I would have.
• 1:42:07
  Been so pissed. If we put Frank in one on
• 1:42:11
  accident anywhere but 5. Frank draws something out of me
• 1:42:16
  could have all put. It #1 though, honestly.
• 1:42:18
  Yeah, for for sure. They they were all good picks,
• 1:42:23
  but Frank draws something out of me in the comments.
• 1:42:26
  I don't know if you. Guys are watching.
• 1:42:28
  Sevon's comments. I just want to bash him
• 1:42:30
  sometimes. Was he?
• 1:42:31
  Was he in there this afternoon? Oh yeah, yeah, that's good.
• 1:42:36
  I haven't seen the Frank in our chat.
• 1:42:38
  So Jeremy, Jeremy world and totally redeemed yourselves from
• 1:42:43
  last week. Thank you, Jeremy.
• 1:42:46
  We're good at this, yeah. That's good.
• 1:42:49
  I'm good with this I. Like it?
• 1:42:51
  It's a great list. Best list.
• 1:42:54
  Impressed all. Right, last one just news Gmail,
• 1:42:58
  Harris, it's going to the. World Fitness project.
• 1:43:02
  He's also doing a Ironman triathlon and needs a bike.
• 1:43:09
  John. What do you think about?
• 1:43:12
  Gee's statement. I I feel.
• 1:43:16
  I don't know. I feel, I don't, I feel bad for
• 1:43:18
  picking on him at this point. He's just, I cannot stand it
• 1:43:27
  when all athletes care about his money when like you aren't going
• 1:43:33
  to work out unless there is an opportunity to get paid.
• 1:43:37
  I think if money is your driving force, then you it's it's it.
• 1:43:44
  It says a lot. About your character, if money
• 1:43:47
  is why you do things OK in. Saying that.
• 1:43:53
  I'm looking for sponsors for the grid league and I, I need money
• 1:43:57
  for of plane tickets and and food.
• 1:44:00
  So if you go to my Instagram page, I, I have a link for
• 1:44:03
  donations if anybody wants to sponsor my grid league journey
• 1:44:08
  and all that said. But with that said, I think I,
• 1:44:10
  I, I buy my own bike. That's all like that's what I
• 1:44:15
  want to say. I buy my own bike.
• 1:44:18
  OK. That's the line right there.
• 1:44:22
  This video. If you guys haven't watched.
• 1:44:24
  Spin Studio. With an updated clean by by the
• 1:44:29

• 1:47:13
  You do feel good afterwards. I don't know how I'll feel the
• 1:47:16
  next day, but it does. It does make your pain kind of
• 1:47:19
  go away almost immediately. Taylor pitching it made me.
• 1:47:23
  Really think that it. Really does help because I know
• 1:47:26
  he has bad like his knees hurt. Yeah, no.
• 1:47:28
  And he's had a whole bunch of knee.
• 1:47:30
  Surgeries and I just crank my joints every now and again, but
• 1:47:35
  no, it is cranking joints. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:47:38
  It's a. Well, listen, Taylor cranks
• 1:47:40
  other things. I crank joints.
• 1:47:41
  It's it's it's it's what we do. He cranks bike shafts.
• 1:47:46
  That's why he doesn't. No, he doesn't.
• 1:47:48
  Oh, he does. Can't.
• 1:47:49
  You're right, he can't because. He doesn't have a bike.
• 1:47:50
  Nobody will buy him 1 poor. What are the chances?
• 1:47:53
  Let's. Let's set a prop bet right now.
• 1:47:55
  That guy ever does a triathlon. Oh, it's not hard, dude.
• 1:47:59
  You could do a triathlon, yeah, but I'm saying he wanted.
• 1:48:03
  To do a bodybuilding and Iron Man and and now he's doing WFP
• 1:48:10
  and then what was great about that video is he said that he he
• 1:48:14
  was like you just when you're doing 10 things, you're not
• 1:48:17
  going to do any of them good. And so you need to do one thing
• 1:48:20
  and then but I was like you, but you're talking about doing
• 1:48:24
  triathlon or whatever and or an Ironman and do the WFP.
• 1:48:29
  It's just I was like you're all over the place.
• 1:48:30
  I can't understand you. I want to continue this key but
• 1:48:32
  we. Do have to show John.
• 1:48:34
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have to play it on mute.
• 1:48:37
  I would I would highly recommend anybody going and watching for
• 1:48:40
  the actual soundtrack to it because it's the best Max out
• 1:48:44
  music. That's out there, man.
• 1:48:46
  That's right. There it is.
• 1:48:50
  And I actually have something I want to.
• 1:48:52
  I'm going to send this to you guys in secret.
• 1:48:54
  I'm not going to send it. I'm not going to share it with
• 1:48:57
  the public, but I think you guys will get a kick out of it.
• 1:49:01
  Like what happened immediately before this.
• 1:49:05
  Well, yeah, dude. This is crazy.
• 1:49:07
  Were you nervous? I don't know if you see, but in
• 1:49:10
  the middle of. That lift, it did shake me a
• 1:49:12
  little bit and I was nervous in that moment because I could feel
• 1:49:16
  my knees in that moment. I honestly, I could feel
• 1:49:19
  everything. My whole body was kind of like
• 1:49:23
  I'm trying to not use the word. Cranked but.
• 1:49:26
  It no, but no, not nervous at the lift I was doing mid lift.
• 1:49:30
  I was nervous. I'm about to do this and fail
• 1:49:32
  like that's what I was nervous about, but that's checked off
• 1:49:36
  the list and now I'm going to start doing doing Isabel a
• 1:49:41
  couple times for no reason. Do you remember what your clean
• 1:49:44
  was like when? Your first time you ever did a
• 1:49:46
  clean? Yeah.
• 1:49:48
  What was it, 265? The very actually so so it's
• 1:49:53
  still pretty good. Very the very first.
• 1:49:55
  Time, the very first. Time I ever walked into a
• 1:49:57
  CrossFit gym, they were doing a Max power clean for the strength
• 1:50:01
  and I didn't know how to do anything right.
• 1:50:05
  And I just like muscled it and off the floor, no contact, just
• 1:50:09
  anything any. And I got to 265 and they acted
• 1:50:12
  like it was a, you know, kind of a big deal.
• 1:50:15
  It was there are not a lot of strong people there.
• 1:50:18
  And I was like, oh man, I, I think I could get good at this
• 1:50:21
  like if I knew how to do it right.
• 1:50:23
  And then I started watching Chinese people.
• 1:50:25
  And then that's when Jay White Barbell came from power.
• 1:50:27
  And then I was like, oh, it is pretty easy.
• 1:50:29
  I don't know why more people aren't good at this.
• 1:50:31
  And you three you, you scored at 3:15.
• 1:50:34
  When you were 12, yes. That's.
• 1:50:38
  Stupid. I don't even know what to say
• 1:50:42
  about that. I had like some state.
• 1:50:45
  Powerlifting records in Missouri when I was younger.
• 1:50:50
  I don't, I don't remember in what, but I'm sure they've
• 1:50:56
  gotten beat by now. But that was back when like
• 1:50:58
  sunlight power. I don't know if anybody's
• 1:50:59
  familiar with that, but no, my, my dad had me squat a lot and it
• 1:51:05
  paid off. It helps.
• 1:51:06
  I guess so and. With home growth.
• 1:51:09
  Relief CBD I can. Continue doing I can.
• 1:51:14
  Continue doing these things so yeah so I'm excited serious guys
• 1:51:20
  give this give this give it a try and put it in the comments
• 1:51:22
  if it if you feel good if it works for you guys I actually
• 1:51:26
  think if you get. Him past the weed.
• 1:51:30
  Stigma, I think I'm actually think I'm going to try all of
• 1:51:33
  all of the things, probably not the gummies, but all the rest of
• 1:51:36
  the things, Barclay said that. He hit 3. 15 at 24 on what a
• 1:51:41
  yoke carry. We're training now, see?
• 1:51:50
  How's the WFP? May in the middle of the month.
• 1:51:56
  And I'm still thinking about doing a half Iron Man on May
• 1:52:01
  31st but I need a bike so if anyone out there.
• 1:52:06
  Wants to finance. A bike for me.
• 1:52:08
  Oh yes. So guys, I'm finally going to
• 1:52:09
  say it here. Ugly, aren't you?
• 1:52:12
  Coming to the South Cup, Not going to the game, not doing the
• 1:52:14
  season, no, I'm just doing the open due to pure spontaneous
• 1:52:18
  pressure. Yeah, because I wanted to do it
• 1:52:20
  here with the community and say some nice words.
• 1:52:23
  I decided to do it and also because it.
• 1:52:26
  Earns points for me. To be called to roll.
• 1:52:29
  And because of all this circus happening with CrossFit, nobody
• 1:52:33
  knows what will happen. I decided that, well, logically,
• 1:52:38
  financially and in every way, it's much, much better for me to
• 1:52:43
  compete in the WFP. Why?
• 1:52:47
  So, for example, let's compete in Brazil.
• 1:52:50
  I mean, there's no. Better place to.
• 1:52:52
  Compete than Brazil. I love competing.
• 1:52:54
  It's an atmosphere. But you know, you have to
• 1:52:57
  understand and I have to understand as well that this is
• 1:53:00
  my profession. So this is where I earn, right?
• 1:53:04
  This is where I pay my bills and everything else to go to Brazil,
• 1:53:07
  that's competing this season, right?
• 1:53:09
  I just spend money. I spend money, right?
• 1:53:11
  I already spent on the Open already.
• 1:53:14
  Then I have to spend for the semi final.
• 1:53:16
  I have to spend no one to the South cup.
• 1:53:18
  I have to spend for the South cup.
• 1:53:19
  It's going to go to the games, pay for the hotel at the games,
• 1:53:21
  pay for the flight to the games, pay for the flight to the
• 1:53:24
  Havana, pay for the hotel in Havana, pay for the food in
• 1:53:26
  Havana, pay everything. And on the other hand, I have a
• 1:53:30
  contract with an organization that's treating me as an
• 1:53:34
  athlete, that I am a professional.
• 1:53:36
  So wow, I only get money to compete in the WWPI, don't spend
• 1:53:40
  anything. They pay for my flight, they pay
• 1:53:43
  for my hotel, and they pay me an annual salary to continue.
• 1:53:46
  Oh, but why did you come in other years?
• 1:53:48
  Because in other years I had sponsors who paid me bonuses.
• 1:53:51
  So if I won in a competition, I earned a very significant bonus.
• 1:53:55
  If I won an event, I earned a very significant bonus.
• 1:53:58
  So for me it was very worthwhile to come down and do everything
• 1:54:01
  there. And also because like, well, you
• 1:54:04
  know, I will not want to compete here in the United States.
• 1:54:06
  I will want to compete in Brazil, which is my people,
• 1:54:08
  right? And secondly, because of the
• 1:54:11
  visibility this year, it is not very worthwhile because of the
• 1:54:16
  whole. Situation that's happening.
• 1:54:18
  And what else? And also about the return on
• 1:54:20
  investment. There you go.
• 1:54:26
  Chase that dollar, boys. Do you know Do you know the?
• 1:54:31
  I know Spin doesn't watch the Office, but when Toby.
• 1:54:35
  Oh, OK, thanks. Good job, Spin.
• 1:54:38
  I'm. I'm sorry, I thought you didn't
• 1:54:39
  watch The Office when Toby comes around the corner or something
• 1:54:42
  and Michael goes everything. About you I.
• 1:54:47
  Hate or like why? Why is it the way you?
• 1:54:52
  Why is it you? Are the way you are?
• 1:54:53
  Yeah. Why are you the way the way you?
• 1:54:55
  Are or like you make everything bad like like like that's like
• 1:55:02
  what pops in my head just listening to that I I cannot
• 1:55:06
  explain like the anger it gives me when somebody just money is
• 1:55:11
  the reason they do anything. It makes, you know, the entitled
• 1:55:16
  thing that Adrian Conway came out with, Like you couldn't, you
• 1:55:19
  couldn't be more right. And it's just.
• 1:55:24
  Oh yeah, thank you, Barkley. I hate.
• 1:55:26
  So much about the things you choose to be that's.
• 1:55:34
  Truer. Words could not be said and like
• 1:55:37
  I don't want to be mad at Gee. I don't want to dislike Gee.
• 1:55:40
  I really don't. The only reason why I'm so I I
• 1:55:45
  put guy so. Low or like ranted.
• 1:55:47
  On him in the past, it's because everybody thought he was going
• 1:55:49
  to be so good at CrossFit and he got lucky his rookie year and
• 1:55:54
  got 3 lifting events and he was 7th place and I remember saying
• 1:55:57
  this is the best he's ever going to do.
• 1:55:59
  He's not ever going to be better than this.
• 1:56:01
  And nobody, everybody was against me on that.
• 1:56:05
  And now everybody's full tilt turned the other way and
• 1:56:08
  everybody doesn't thinks Gee is useless.
• 1:56:11
  And Gee believes that now. And now he's going to WFP
• 1:56:13
  because he can't even be in the top 1%.
• 1:56:17
  This is flawless. Craig.
• 1:56:18
  This is amazing, Craig Richards Wait, I want to compete in.
• 1:56:22
  Brazil and get the WFP as an Indiana, Denmark and Arizona
• 1:56:27
  nailed. It.
• 1:56:28
  And I. It's just, it's, it's upsetting
• 1:56:32
  that I don't know what drives him, I thought.
• 1:56:39
  He shared that no, no, no, no, no not money, not.
• 1:56:44
  Money. No, that's not what I'm talking.
• 1:56:46
  About like, I don't know what makes him think the way he
• 1:56:50
  thinks, right? Like like.
• 1:56:57
  No, Tyler, it's not just. Money.
• 1:56:59
  It's not just money, it's it's like he said he wanted to.
• 1:57:03
  Be compete in Brazil. And he's going to India.
• 1:57:05
  He's not going to Brazil at all, John.
• 1:57:06
  It's all that's all he talked about in the video was money.
• 1:57:09
  No, I, I know Tyler. That's but I'm.
• 1:57:11
  I'm it's not, it's not what I'm trying to get at.
• 1:57:13
  Like why? Is that the end all for?
• 1:57:17
  Him Why? Well, John?
• 1:57:21
  I was. Thinking about this look at his
• 1:57:24
  career, CrossFit was at its. Pinnacle when he came.
• 1:57:28
  And started and a teenager and then he entered when the
• 1:57:33
  athletes were being making the most money that they were going
• 1:57:37
  to make was when he was coming up.
• 1:57:40
  And he's made more money than I think more people would guess
• 1:57:44
  that he is making his contracts 100.
• 1:57:46
  Percent from sponsorship. With.
• 1:57:48
  His his contracts with. Sponsors.
• 1:57:50
  I've heard some numbers that would blow your mind that he's
• 1:57:54
  making that money. No, I, I, I, I know he's.
• 1:57:58
  The shoe, I guarantee you it's. Like Danny's feeling of those
• 1:58:00
  things in Brazil, he doesn't know.
• 1:58:03
  The sport without that. That's and that's, that's sad.
• 1:58:11
  Well, it's not his fault. But I think there's a lot that
• 1:58:13
  are in that that. Situation where they want the
• 1:58:15
  guaranteed cash they want to be, they keep saying professional,
• 1:58:20
  OK, OK. But but like, I think, I think
• 1:58:23
  there's something though that hasn't really been talked.
• 1:58:27
  About is when they talk about. Professional.
• 1:58:29
  They want to make all of their money from competing.
• 1:58:34
  Yet. Michael.
• 1:58:36
  Jordan, LeBron James, all of the biggest athletes, Tiger Woods
• 1:58:39
  made head and shoulders more money from sponsorships than
• 1:58:44
  they ever did with prize purses. Now, those, those, those prize
• 1:58:48
  purses, the, the, the contracts that they signed, the prize
• 1:58:51
  money that Tiger Woods won, sure, millions of dollars.
• 1:58:55
  It's a bigger sport, but so is the the sponsorships.
• 1:58:59
  But at the end of the day, they made most of their money from
• 1:59:02
  sponsorships. That's how most of these
• 1:59:04
  athletes are making money today. It's not in the 1,000,000.
• 1:59:08
  Most of them 99.9% aren't. But I feel like where everybody
• 1:59:13
  keeps going to is, well, to be a professional athlete, I have to
• 1:59:15
  make all. I have to make a complete
• 1:59:17
  earning a living solely from prize money, or in this case
• 1:59:22
  guaranteed salaries I don't think.
• 1:59:26
  We're a small small. Sport, if you want to even call
• 1:59:29
  it that. I mean this we're, we're
• 1:59:30
  literally looking for the fittest on Earth.
• 1:59:34
  And you're using that? Platform to.
• 1:59:35
  Then show your value. And get.
• 1:59:39
  Sponsorships, it's like. How they play soccer in the UK,
• 1:59:48
  they have like this tiered system where it's like
• 1:59:50
  different. I I can't remember how they they
• 1:59:53
  have different leagues. Yeah, they have different.
• 1:59:55
  Leagues and it's like you're in your.
• 1:59:56
  Own division of like how good you are so it's the level system
• 1:59:59
  essentially right it's a tier system and you can compete and
• 2:00:04
  you can actually qualify all the way from the bottom up to the
• 2:00:07
  top and you have these teams that exist in these cities and
• 2:00:09
  they play against other cities and do all this stuff right and
• 2:00:12
  these athletes think that our sport is so big that they're in
• 2:00:15
  the top Premier League and they're.
• 2:00:19
  Not that the sport. 'S not there.
• 2:00:21
  We don't have a system A tier. System, but not only do we not
• 2:00:25
  have a tier. System but they think they're at
• 2:00:27
  the top of that tier and that's that tier doesn't exist right
• 2:00:31
  we're not we're we're. Single a baseball level, we have
• 2:00:34
  like 2 athletes that are in that tier right?
• 2:00:38
  I just think if money is your driving.
• 2:00:40
  Force then you're never going to be what you could be you're
• 2:00:44
  never going to reach the potential that your body can do
• 2:00:47
  and I'm the I've never been a Gee believer as far as being the
• 2:00:50
  fittest in the world. We all know that, but you will
• 2:00:53
  forever not reach your potential.
• 2:00:57
  And I used to think that was the driving force of everybody.
• 2:01:01
  I and I know like Matt was in it for money, but it, it got really
• 2:01:06
  personal for Matt when he lost to Ben Smith and that awakened a
• 2:01:09
  monster that wasn't there before.
• 2:01:12
  So but like, you know, rich for sure.
• 2:01:16
  But like, like I just back in the day, I feel like it would,
• 2:01:20
  and maybe I'm wrong. I feel like it the driving force
• 2:01:23
  for most athletes was I want to see what my body can do.
• 2:01:27
  I want to be the fittest man or fittest woman in the world.
• 2:01:30
  I want to reach, I want to stretch what's possible for the
• 2:01:34
  body can what the body can do right?
• 2:01:38
  Just like my track athletes, I want to push the envelope what
• 2:01:41
  how fast you can go right And I that's all I ever wanted to be.
• 2:01:47
  I wanted to be the fittest that my body could be like that might
• 2:01:51
  not be. It might be semi final level.
• 2:01:53
  It might be right before semi final level, but I wanted to be
• 2:01:55
  the fittest that I possibly could be.
• 2:01:57
  I just want to reach my potential.
• 2:02:00
  And I thought that was the driving force for most of the
• 2:02:03
  athletes. And I'm, I promise, I promise
• 2:02:08
  you, the athletes now, if that's not what you seek and that's not
• 2:02:14
  what drives you and it's money and sponsorships, you're never
• 2:02:19
  going to reach the potential that your body could be.
• 2:02:22
  And you're going to get passed up by people that that is their
• 2:02:25
  driving force or you're the way they used to go.
• 2:02:29
  You're why, you know what I mean?
• 2:02:31
  If you're wise to make money, you will not last.
• 2:02:36
  And like D, his fitness has plummeted.
• 2:02:39
  He used to be way fitter than he is now.
• 2:02:41
  We see that, you know what I mean?
• 2:02:44
  It, it, I think it's funny that he comes out with that video
• 2:02:47
  after the first two workouts and he's on the borderline of top
• 2:02:49
  1%, you know? What I mean I that's that's kind
• 2:02:54
  of. A coincidence of when that video
• 2:02:56
  came out, right? Oh yeah, I, I.
• 2:02:59
  Just after he didn't do all this.
• 2:03:01
  And maybe I'm reaching. And maybe I'm reaching.
• 2:03:02
  Maybe. I'm reaching with that.
• 2:03:05
  I just if you wake up in the morning and your driving force
• 2:03:09
  isn't isn't to be the best that you can be.
• 2:03:11
  Not to sound super cheesy, but. And and I'm not saying like.
• 2:03:20
  I'm not saying for that to take over your.
• 2:03:22
  Life, but like if the reason you train and the reason you do what
• 2:03:26
  you do is to reach that potential, you're always going
• 2:03:31
  to beat everybody that that's not their reason.
• 2:03:35
  I would I would say that like. You can do that without taking.
• 2:03:38
  Over your life too. I'm not saying to like Mal
• 2:03:40
  O'Brien and that's, you know, and you end up burning out,
• 2:03:43
  right? Because every single second of
• 2:03:45
  the day you can't get your head off of it, right?
• 2:03:47
  That's not what I'm saying, but just what drives you.
• 2:03:50
  I would say like look at. Weight Olympic weightlifting in
• 2:03:53
  the United States 10 years ago. Watch all the Cal strength
• 2:03:57
  videos like those dudes were living in a single house like
• 2:04:02
  piled onto each other eating like bare minimum cheap food.
• 2:04:07
  Just to get by. Because of the love of their
• 2:04:09
  sport and. They they grinded.
• 2:04:13
  At it and grinded at it. And now there are.
• 2:04:17
  Opportunities for people. Right, and that we are there are
• 2:04:21
  the the next generation of athletes made it to the Olympics
• 2:04:25
  like nobody in the States did anything other than a, you know,
• 2:04:30
  a couple people until recently. And now we're finally starting
• 2:04:34
  to hit the world stage. But it was if those people
• 2:04:36
  hadn't put that passion into it and just wanted the money like
• 2:04:39
  nothing ever got there, right. Look.
• 2:04:42
  I mean, look at, look at the. Wrestling team with.
• 2:04:43
  Freaking Team Foxcatcher, you know what I mean?
• 2:04:46
  They were on nothing. Have you ever seen that
• 2:04:48
  documentary? I mean, it's it's not about them
• 2:04:50
  ended up doing good, but they did.
• 2:04:52
  They won gold medals from that because like all they did was
• 2:04:56
  wrestle. They they had no money, no
• 2:04:59
  money. And then whenever a guy took
• 2:05:01
  them under a wing and said, Hey, train at my house, like it's
• 2:05:03
  they still didn't have money. They just had facilities that
• 2:05:06
  they could go to and like stuff provided for them, right.
• 2:05:09
  You know, in in China, they take these kids when they're five
• 2:05:13
  years old because one lifts a heavier hay Bale than the other
• 2:05:16
  one and be like, that's an Olympic weight lifter.
• 2:05:18
  And then their whole life is school and lifting weights.
• 2:05:23
  It's lifting weights in school and they go.
• 2:05:25
  To a facility and that's where. They live from five years old
• 2:05:29
  just because they decided to. Lift a heavy.
• 2:05:31
  Hay Bale, right? And because they're like, that
• 2:05:34
  has potential. We are making that into a
• 2:05:37
  monster. And then their whole life is
• 2:05:39
  that it's not money. It's I'm going to win a gold
• 2:05:43
  medal because my whole freaking life revolved around this,
• 2:05:46
  right? Leslie makes a good point.
• 2:05:49
  Go, go, go ahead. Yeah, thank you, Leslie said.
• 2:05:53
  I would say it's hard to have a family as a male athlete if you
• 2:05:57
  can't provide for them. So I I would agree.
• 2:06:00
  And that's why I don't blame him for chasing the money to a
• 2:06:02
  degree. But so he's not actually the
• 2:06:05
  thing that we're upset about, or well, I'll say that I'm upset
• 2:06:09
  about. It's the fact that we are in the
• 2:06:11
  state we're in that that is the perception, the reason CrossFit
• 2:06:16
  had this cult following. In 20. 14 and it's in the region
• 2:06:21
  reason regionals were so big is like these people were sort of
• 2:06:24
  like local heroes and we knew they all had full time jobs.
• 2:06:28
  We all knew that they were like normal people who just really
• 2:06:31
  cared about this thing. And they got to put, you know,
• 2:06:34
  whatever they were doing. If they're a firefighter, they
• 2:06:36
  got to put that down for one weekend and try to prove that
• 2:06:39
  they're the fittest person on the planet.
• 2:06:41
  And now it's turned into they're not paying me and I'm not going
• 2:06:44
  to go. And that's breaking the whole
• 2:06:46
  spirit of what CrossFit is, was, is and should be.
• 2:06:53
  And I think like, I think it's funny that I, I guess 7 and.
• 2:07:00
  Some of you guys. Have kind of hinted about this
• 2:07:02
  for years that like games got too big and it's like, I guess
• 2:07:05
  we do have to get back to that. And he's the first person that
• 2:07:09
  made me realize that he's like, maybe we do have to pull the
• 2:07:13
  money out of the sport. It is crazy when I think about
• 2:07:16
  it that way, that the sport got as big as it did.
• 2:07:20
  It's kind of like. Grid League a little.
• 2:07:22
  Bit but to like an but stretched out right Grid league got huge
• 2:07:27
  and then just collapsed because it was too big.
• 2:07:30
  I don't know if it was huge. They did a very good.
• 2:07:32
  Job but like marketing and stuff.
• 2:07:33
  They were on ESPN like. Within two years and then it's
• 2:07:36
  like, and then they didn't survive.
• 2:07:42
  Yeah. Adler's the first person who
• 2:07:43
  made me. Think of it, Tyler, because I
• 2:07:46
  feel like he's been like that from the jump.
• 2:07:48
  He was. He was the first one that was
• 2:07:49
  vocal. Or Caroline might have been the
• 2:07:51
  one that was like it. We're going to make decisions
• 2:07:53
  based off of finances and money and what we can make because
• 2:07:56
  we're only going to be an athlete for so long.
• 2:07:59
  Speaking of Jeff Adler, Unbreakable, did you watch it?
• 2:08:05
  Yes. It got.
• 2:08:07
  It got. Taken down before you can watch
• 2:08:08
  it. Yeah, I would I.
• 2:08:09
  Honestly, spend. I was on my To Do List.
• 2:08:12
  I was so excited to watch it, I really was.
• 2:08:16
  And then I got on there and then it was taken down and said I
• 2:08:19
  will watch 28 lazy day workouts. They took the Instagram post.
• 2:08:24
  Down too it's it's wiped but the video no longer is available due
• 2:08:28
  to a copyright claim. Got them LLC.
• 2:08:35
  Watching talking watching talking elite fitness.
• 2:08:37
  Definitely a different take I think than what I have.
• 2:08:42
  It's crazy how much they backstab.
• 2:08:44
  CrossFit isn't it. Or not backstab but like just
• 2:08:46
  kind of turn their back on it. Well, Tommy is now part of WF.
• 2:08:50
  P I I it's just doing the broadcast.
• 2:08:52
  Is it not? I almost want.
• 2:08:54
  Hitler to do like a mini doc on the rise and fall of talking
• 2:08:57
  Elite fitness. Like, like I, I I used to listen
• 2:09:01
  to talking elite fitness because that was the only thing that was
• 2:09:03
  out there. There wasn't nothing out there.
• 2:09:05
  And they were doing it before I was, you know, doing stuff.
• 2:09:08
  Were they? Yeah, dude.
• 2:09:10
  Yeah. 20/19/2019 I guess I forgot that there was a.
• 2:09:15
  Time that Lauren wasn't a part of talking elite fitness yeah it
• 2:09:18
  was just no, it was just Tommy and Sean they'd have.
• 2:09:20
  Ryan on every now and again for for like stats and stuff.
• 2:09:24
  It was during, you know, COVID times, the Greg Glassman times,
• 2:09:27
  like, you know, and I mean this barbell shrugged was probably
• 2:09:32
  still doing things. They went weird.
• 2:09:34
  The one dude went. Weird and that was OK so they
• 2:09:38
  they're out we're. Talking weakness coming about
• 2:09:40
  talking weakness. Yeah, Barbell.
• 2:09:42
  Shrugged What they they changed their direction in what,
• 2:09:44
  2018-2019? Like 2017.
• 2:09:48
  Like they they did they like change their whole format?
• 2:09:52
  And like just go off like completely off the deep end and
• 2:09:56
  well, it got or something like that.
• 2:09:57
  Yeah, so. That was actually.
• 2:09:59
  Crazy I met CTP 3 days. Before that happened.
• 2:10:05
  In in in Memphis. So he, they worked at, I can't
• 2:10:09
  remember what that gym was, but it was like their gym and I was
• 2:10:12
  down there for a concert and the whole story of me getting it, I
• 2:10:16
  was, I made weed brownies for. The first time.
• 2:10:21
  I didn't think they were going to.
• 2:10:22
  Work I. Ate like half a pan because they
• 2:10:24
  were brownies and I drove to Memphis by myself high for seven
• 2:10:28
  hours. Anyway, so I go in and CT PS
• 2:10:33
  there and I was a huge fan of CTP at the time and I worked out
• 2:10:37
  with him and Alex and like something looking back now that
• 2:10:40
  I know CTP, he was sour and I couldn't tell what was going on
• 2:10:44
  and I left. I left and then like three days
• 2:10:48
  later, like he had been fired or let go from the company.
• 2:10:52
  And then they swapped and brought in all those dudes
• 2:10:55
  instead of the original crew. And yeah, they pivot.
• 2:11:00
  And then Mike Bledsoe started to become like a hippie.
• 2:11:09
  Now listen to the same song. For seven hours straight.
• 2:11:14
  I like to ride my. Bicycle I like to ride my
• 2:11:18
  bicycle that was gay. So.
• 2:11:23
  But yeah, Mike. Bledsoe got got, he turned into
• 2:11:26
  a hippie. It kind of all fell apart after
• 2:11:28
  Chris died. Yeah, that was a bad deal.
• 2:11:32
  Yeah, well, back to. Talking elite fitness?
• 2:11:34
  They, they, they, I It's just. Such a one. 80 I'm not even
• 2:11:39
  trying to bash them, but it it's kind of wild, like how just.
• 2:11:46
  You know you're all in. On somebody and they're OG like
• 2:11:49
  what I can't what I don't really understand is like they're
• 2:11:51
  they're they're from like before it got big you know what I mean
• 2:11:56
  They're before CrossFit got big they they they they, you know
• 2:12:00
  grew into it right. They agree with it and yeah,
• 2:12:03
  and. Like they.
• 2:12:05
  Like their podcast was immediately huge because
• 2:12:07
  everybody wanted something and they're the only thing that
• 2:12:10
  decided to do. They're only people who decided
• 2:12:11
  to do something. They were great.
• 2:12:13
  And then I I just, I can't. Believe like how?
• 2:12:17
  Much They turned their back on CrossFit.
• 2:12:20
  It's it's wild to me how ungrateful they are.
• 2:12:28
  Well, I can. I can.
• 2:12:30
  Start having a little. Bitter when they fired the media
• 2:12:33
  team. I got you.
• 2:12:33
  But that's not you. Know what I mean?
• 2:12:36
  I don't. Know, but I go ahead.
• 2:12:39
  Yeah, back to the copyright. Claim like we went, we went from
• 2:12:43
  copyright claim to talk elite fitness to barbell shrugged and
• 2:12:47
  now back. All right, back to the copyright
• 2:12:49
  claim. I.
• 2:12:50
  Don't. I don't, of course.
• 2:12:53
  Crossfit's going to protect it. They've given Buttery Bros
• 2:12:58
  access for years, and I don't remember all of the clips that
• 2:13:01
  he used in what years, but at least in recent history, since
• 2:13:06
  Adler's been at the games, they've been given better access
• 2:13:10
  than anybody. They're buttery Bros too, that's
• 2:13:15
  what. That's what I'm saying.
• 2:13:16
  That's what you're. Saying yeah, like.
• 2:13:17
  They've got best access and. They have, you know, I.
• 2:13:21
  Guarantee they they. Have all of their footage held
• 2:13:25
  personally Right. Even CrossFit when they were
• 2:13:30
  CrossFit. I wouldn't be surprised if they
• 2:13:31
  have footage from 2018 games on one of their hard drives.
• 2:13:38
  Oh, they've had more access than any of us.
• 2:13:40
  More than. Anybody more than 7 and to use.
• 2:13:43
  That in a competing league, whether you think it's a worthy
• 2:13:47
  competitor like Sean said or not, like you're using their
• 2:13:51
  what they gave you to promote the brand, to do a documentary
• 2:13:55
  on CrossFit and then you. Go and take it to a competitor.
• 2:13:59
  Whether? That competitor is at your same
• 2:14:02
  level. Below or.
• 2:14:03
  About like, that's not what you do.
• 2:14:05
  The question is did. They say that.
• 2:14:08
  Just chose this one because they.
• 2:14:10
  They feel threatened is crazy dude.
• 2:14:12
  I mean, and it'd be different. If they like just took a
• 2:14:14
  screenshot that they and then posted it on Instagram and said
• 2:14:18
  WFP coming to you right like that, that'd be a lot different.
• 2:14:21
  I think that'd be fine, but he said, he said it takes like a
• 2:14:25
  whole documentary footage that you sign a deal to.
• 2:14:28
  No, no, no. I mean, I think they're well
• 2:14:31
  within the right of the LSD. I wish they would just like snap
• 2:14:34
  a picture of, you know, doesn't matter, somebody else's picture.
• 2:14:38
  It doesn't doesn't matter. And then and just say WFP coming
• 2:14:41
  to you like that would be fine. I'd be fine with that.
• 2:14:46
  What is crazy is like. Could you imagine how weak it
• 2:14:48
  would be if CrossFit didn't take it down and it, you know, there,
• 2:14:52
  there are those if they don't, then they're just going to do
• 2:14:54
  that 20. 47 like like right and. There are those who are white
• 2:14:59
  knight and about oh, then CrossFit needs to take down
• 2:15:02
  everything. I'm like, no, not that promotes
• 2:15:04
  their brand and isn't a direct, it's not a I'll say direct
• 2:15:10
  threat because they're the only competitor now that matters.
• 2:15:14
  They're the only competitor that's really ever existed,
• 2:15:17
  right? They would play pretty tough
• 2:15:18
  with Grid. But grid was also they didn't
• 2:15:20
  use any of their no, they had all their own shit.
• 2:15:23
  Can we come up with a different term than like?
• 2:15:25
  White knight. I want to.
• 2:15:26
  I don't feel like that does it justice.
• 2:15:28
  Like let's do like a purple peasant.
• 2:15:33
  That doesn't do it justice. Either I think that doesn't
• 2:15:36
  perfect justice for. What you're doing?
• 2:15:39
  You're purple, peasantine. But I thought, I thought it was.
• 2:15:41
  Funny because people didn't even.
• 2:15:42
  Understand why they filed a claim like so many people in the
• 2:15:46
  comments of Hiller's post were like you wanted.
• 2:15:50
  Them to say CrossFit. They're not they're avoiding
• 2:15:52
  saying CrossFit. They finally say CrossFit and
• 2:15:53
  you guys get mad and it's like, it's not about that.
• 2:15:56
  That's not that's not why. First of all, I don't think
• 2:15:58
  that's why they said it or or filed a claim, but there's
• 2:16:03
  there's a difference between saying that you compete at the.
• 2:16:07
  CrossFit Games and. Saying in using footage that you
• 2:16:10
  were allowed to use or allowed to capture somewhat on behalf of
• 2:16:15
  CrossFit, like yes. In conjunction with.
• 2:16:19
  CrossFit for sure. And it's like, do you think that
• 2:16:22
  they didn't see this coming? That's what's wild to me.
• 2:16:25
  There's no way I would have released like we've talked about
• 2:16:28
  stuff like this in the in, in the background on like anything
• 2:16:31
  that we produce or stuff like that.
• 2:16:33
  It's like, hey, you know, should we take this out?
• 2:16:35
  Should we not do this? Should we do this?
• 2:16:37
  Because we have to think. You have to think about these
• 2:16:39
  things and the implications that they have.
• 2:16:41
  It is wild to me that they put it out and weren't and didn't
• 2:16:44
  have AB copy ready to go. I don't think they thought about
• 2:16:50
  it. I thought there was just.
• 2:16:51
  Like, well, we've, we've captured it, we own it.
• 2:16:54
  We, this is what we do. We do it.
• 2:16:55
  We put the, I mean, think about it though, like they've if
• 2:16:58
  you're, if you are Marson Heber and whoever did the editing,
• 2:17:03
  you've done this over. And over again for.
• 2:17:05
  All of your documentaries about a CrossFit Games athlete, but
• 2:17:09
  there's a difference. When you cross that.
• 2:17:11
  Line to a You're making this for another competitor.
• 2:17:16
  Another outlet. Another thing entity right like
• 2:17:21
  buttery Bros can't give that footage to whoever they couldn't
• 2:17:25
  give it to go wad and go. Wad can't or go was probably not
• 2:17:28
  a good example, but Podium who's never sponsored the games, they
• 2:17:32
  couldn't give their footage of what they captured.
• 2:17:34
  The CrossFit games give it the Podium if Podium makes a
• 2:17:36
  commercial out of it. Especially if Podium is
• 2:17:38
  freaking. Affiliating gyms to say we're
• 2:17:41
  podium fitness, which that's crazy too if you didn't watch.
• 2:17:45
  Sivan said that World Fitness Project is now approaching gyms.
• 2:17:50
  I don't know if CrossFit gyms, gyms that are unaffiliated to
• 2:17:54
  become a World Fitness Project affiliate, but it's just another
• 2:17:58
  opportunity. It's not.
• 2:17:59
  It's not trying to conflict with CrossFit in any way.
• 2:18:02
  I heard Sivan talk about that. I'm like, I don't.
• 2:18:04
  Understand that I agree. Craig Craig's on it with the
• 2:18:08
  comments. Today.
• 2:18:11
  I. Don't you know it's funny, I was
• 2:18:13
  thinking about. Saying you and you were going
• 2:18:15
  you. You can say it with each other.
• 2:18:16
  Your your purple. Well, I was thinking, what's the
• 2:18:19
  opposite of white? Knight and I first thought of
• 2:18:21
  black peasant and I'm like, that's not that's not you can't
• 2:18:24
  do that one that's. Not going to be good and then I
• 2:18:27
  just. John Young Solving problems.
• 2:18:30
  Because I was. Thinking what's the opposite of
• 2:18:31
  white knight? And then no, no, so I just I
• 2:18:34
  probably shouldn't have said that out loud.
• 2:18:35
  I think you're confusing. All right, so.
• 2:18:38
  If you if you did not watch Sivan before you came here, what
• 2:18:41
  Sivan has said is apparently World Fitness Project is
• 2:18:44
  approaching gyms to become world WFP affiliates.
• 2:18:49
  I had never heard this before, said $2000 to become a World
• 2:18:56
  Fitness Project affiliate. I have no idea what that even.
• 2:19:00
  Means like what? What are you getting from a
• 2:19:06
  sport to be an affiliate? What has the WFP?
• 2:19:10
  Done for the. Affiliate What is the affiliate
• 2:19:12
  done for the WFP? What the question is, what will
• 2:19:15
  they do for the? Affiliate.
• 2:19:18
  What are you affiliating? Yeah.
• 2:19:21
  What are you? Yeah.
• 2:19:23
  What does the? Affiliation consist of naming
• 2:19:27
  rights. You get a. 4% discount to all
• 2:19:32
  WFP apparel. I should should have signed.
• 2:19:35
  Up before I got my shirt Yeah, I I heard that I was like that.
• 2:19:41
  I don't understand it. OK champion, did you watch the
• 2:19:45
  WFP podcast today? Yes, Hey, remember when?
• 2:19:49
  Oh, was it Pat that said he was proud?
• 2:19:51
  He was happy to be around an organization that could keep
• 2:19:54
  secrets? Remember that?
• 2:19:58
  Man, You guys are great at keeping secrets.
• 2:20:00
  Jackasses. Yeah, it's gotten out fast.
• 2:20:04
  So this is the first deck. What?
• 2:20:06
  What's what's funny about that to me is it is a literal
• 2:20:10
  declaration of war. You've now you're no longer in
• 2:20:14
  this Gray zone of like, oh, we're just kind of I think they
• 2:20:16
  declared war whenever their. Their first thing was in the
• 2:20:19
  middle of semi finals. No, that's still kind of like
• 2:20:22
  that, was the. First shot, that was definitely.
• 2:20:24
  The first shot, yeah, that's the first, like.
• 2:20:27
  Misfire, misfire. Sorry.
• 2:20:28
  That's when Hitler. When Hitler was like I'm.
• 2:20:30
  Going to take over Poland and they're like don't do it.
• 2:20:35
  I think I'm. Going to do it they're.
• 2:20:37
  Like don't do it. And then and then this is this
• 2:20:41
  is them taking over Poland. Oh, I also took over France.
• 2:20:45
  Whoops, yeah. And then this to me.
• 2:20:50
  It they couldn't. Keep this a secret and it's the
• 2:20:53
  first declaration of war and it got leaked and they'll say, no,
• 2:20:56
  this is in the declaration of war.
• 2:20:58
  You're literally entering the game of the only competitor.
• 2:21:01
  You're literally duplicating their competition.
• 2:21:04
  You're you're, you're trying to do everything they're doing and.
• 2:21:09
  They're not going to be able to control it.
• 2:21:11
  Now it's out right and I, I. Like and if.
• 2:21:15
  You're going to if you're going to make this direct.
• 2:21:17
  Action. You have to come on heavy and
• 2:21:20
  now you're playing. It makes you look really bad.
• 2:21:25
  I don't know why. They lie about it though.
• 2:21:27
  I. Like I would rather than, that's
• 2:21:29
  my thing, honest about it and be like, and like, you know,
• 2:21:31
  honestly and honestly, I, I think you could be, I think you
• 2:21:34
  could say, yeah, like we are kind of doing what Crossfit's
• 2:21:38
  doing, but we want to do it in our own way.
• 2:21:40
  And I mean, if, and we're going to offer stuff to athletes,
• 2:21:43
  we're going to offer stuff to people.
• 2:21:45
  If CrossFit is better than that, then they then they're better.
• 2:21:48
  But we want to, we want to try to do something a little bit
• 2:21:50
  different. But it's still, it's still
• 2:21:52
  CrossFit. Would you not be allowed to do
• 2:21:55
  that? Would you be allowed to do that?
• 2:21:56
  Spin or no? Do what?
• 2:21:58
  Just call. It CrossFit or or?
• 2:22:00
  No, no, like it's just. Fitness racing, we're doing
• 2:22:04
  this. Fitness racing thing, right, but
• 2:22:06
  but say yeah, we're in competition, we're going to try
• 2:22:09
  to do it better. Spin what?
• 2:22:11
  What point? Was were you going to make?
• 2:22:12
  I'd have more respect for them if they did that.
• 2:22:15
  I guess to. Me.
• 2:22:17
  I guess I think about it like again, like it makes no.
• 2:22:21
  Sense from an. Like a gym ownership
• 2:22:24
  perspective. Like, I don't, maybe they come
• 2:22:26
  out with something that I'm not thinking about, but from a gym
• 2:22:29
  owner's perspective, the sport doesn't add value to my gym.
• 2:22:36
  But what does it provide? For the WFP money money to.
• 2:22:43
  Cover the massive amount. Of cost and it it looks.
• 2:22:48
  Like the exact same. Framework of what CrossFit is
• 2:22:50
  right like the sport side loses money, the affiliate side
• 2:22:54
  subsidizes it to some degree The problem is And now you have the.
• 2:22:57
  Exact same thing that's. Happening at WFP is we've
• 2:23:01
  already gone through like it's going to cost millions of
• 2:23:04
  dollars a year to run this thing.
• 2:23:06
  I think we said 6 for the 1st. Year.
• 2:23:07
  That's yeah. And So what if you get
• 2:23:11
  affiliates to then you're not giving them anything like
• 2:23:14
  they're you're not giving them credentials.
• 2:23:16
  You can't stand up a a credential process.
• 2:23:19
  You can't stand up education process.
• 2:23:21
  In a matter of months, you could say you're a world fitness
• 2:23:24
  project, Jim. Isn't it funny?
• 2:23:27
  That the same people and I think it's a lot of the people who are
• 2:23:30
  now on the WFPWFP athletes have said oh we need to divorce the
• 2:23:35
  sport from the community in the in the methodology are now
• 2:23:40
  creative the same thing. They're the same thing.
• 2:23:45
  Yeah, I just. I just don't get the the.
• 2:23:47
  Thing like. We're we're for the athlete, you
• 2:23:51
  know, this is this. Is a league.
• 2:23:52
  For the athletes, it's not for the community, it's for the
• 2:23:55
  athletes. And so your gym is for the
• 2:23:59
  athletes. Like like like that's support
• 2:24:01
  them. That doesn't ride with the
• 2:24:04
  affiliate like it doesn't. It just doesn't.
• 2:24:08
  It doesn't. Well, what they'll try to do,
• 2:24:10
  John, is. They'll try to, they'll try to
• 2:24:11
  say, OK, under our affiliate, you're going to get this support
• 2:24:15
  with this, you know, this back end already exists.
• 2:24:18
  You're going to get this media support.
• 2:24:21
  OK, CrossFit could do a better job with that.
• 2:24:23
  But they'll they'll try to do something like that.
• 2:24:25
  They'll try to do, you know, they'll just try to they'll try
• 2:24:29
  to create a bunch of services that they don't have anybody who
• 2:24:32
  has expertise in and they'll try to give these to those gyms and
• 2:24:36
  they'll try to create buy in in that way.
• 2:24:38
  All the that what they'll say is they'll find all the problems
• 2:24:41
  that people have spouted off all the entitlements that people
• 2:24:44
  want to run their gym from CrossFit.
• 2:24:47
  And they'll be like, we can do that for you.
• 2:24:49
  And it's like those services already exist.
• 2:24:51
  You're just going to do them under one roof or try.
• 2:24:53
  They won't. And then people are going to DE.
• 2:24:57
  Affiliate in three. Years or one year?
• 2:25:00
  When you realize that. What did you get other than a
• 2:25:05
  some swag? I just don't Yeah, I that was
• 2:25:08
  that blew my mind. And like the first thing that
• 2:25:11
  led me to is WFP needs money. That's a.
• 2:25:16
  Pretty fast way to make money. If you can get us, if you can
• 2:25:20
  get affiliate gyms to to join. It's always there's only. 72 VIP
• 2:25:26
  tickets, actually there's 55 less, 17 have been purchased so
• 2:25:31
  they're going fast just in. Case you've been keeping track.
• 2:25:35
  And spend vodka I think I'm going to get.
• 2:25:36
