- 2:39So again,
- 2:41we're in that like really slow
- 2:43time for CrossFit and
- 2:46trying to find CrossFit news,
- 2:48stuff like that.
- 2:49So we're just going to talk today,
- 2:51a couple of random things.
- 2:54First thing is Hiller.
- 2:56It just came out.
- 2:58I have not had a chance to watch it.
- 2:59I'm so excited for this.
- 3:05Let's go here.
- 3:06This is his Instagram post.
- 3:10If you have not seen it,
- 3:11the new fee video is out today.
- 3:16This is her.
- 3:17Look at that.
- 3:18See her playing the violin.
- 3:20See that?
- 3:21We talked about that in the
- 3:22road to the games.
- 3:23Why didn't they do that?
- 3:25Hiller listened.
- 3:27Hiller listens.
- 3:27She was playing the violin
- 3:29in this little video clip.
- 3:30So we may get to see the
- 3:32concert violinist playing
- 3:36in this video that Hiller did.
- 3:38I am so excited for this one.
- 3:41Been jazzed about it for a
- 3:42while because I love Fee.
- 3:46Love me some Fee and can't
- 3:50wait to see what he put together.
- 3:53It's going to be fun.
- 3:56So check that one out on
- 3:57Hiller's page later today.
- 4:02That's going to be awesome.
- 4:09A couple other things
- 4:10happening today or happened
- 4:11in the last twenty four
- 4:12hours is we did get a
- 4:14couple of announcements.
- 4:18And one of those is.
- 4:21this one if people have not
- 4:23seen this uh bethany
- 4:26shadburn bethany shadburn
- 4:28flores uh posted this
- 4:30yesterday that her and her
- 4:32husband have been sharing a
- 4:33little secret for fourteen
- 4:35weeks and there are a
- 4:37series of pregnancy tests
- 4:39and she kind of goes
- 4:41through a little bit of the
- 4:42story um but fourteen weeks
- 4:45pregnant congratulations to bethany
- 4:49Her and Randy are going to
- 4:49be awesome parents.
- 4:53But all of this talk when
- 4:55she did WFP and wasn't able
- 4:57to do the workouts,
- 4:58she actually explains it
- 5:00that she couldn't keep food
- 5:01down during that time.
- 5:03We all thought it was her back.
- 5:05Apparently it was her belly.
- 5:07And not only was she pregnant,
- 5:09but she couldn't keep food
- 5:10down and was nauseous the
- 5:13entire weekend and just had
- 5:16to wave the white flag during workouts.
- 5:19So that was apparently the reason, um,
- 5:22her performance was less
- 5:24than what we expected.
- 5:29We are all just so used to her back, uh,
- 5:33going out and we almost
- 5:34made that assumption.
- 5:37Um,
- 5:39that we thought she had that
- 5:41going in should have done
- 5:42something differently when
- 5:43she went to wfp should have
- 5:46withdrawn or given somebody
- 5:47else the opportunity and
- 5:49here she was pregnant
- 5:49trying to compete anyway
- 5:51and just got so nauseous
- 5:53she could not um compete
- 5:55during the event uh so and
- 6:00that is her explanation right there um
- 6:05And then she goes into to
- 6:07show different ultrasounds,
- 6:10but there it all is.
- 6:14You go check it out on
- 6:15Bethany's Instagram page.
- 6:18So congratulations to her
- 6:20and Randy for that.
- 6:25Um,
- 6:28Then we have another
- 6:30pregnancy that I apparently
- 6:32broke to the CrossFit world
- 6:35on Savan about a half an hour ago.
- 6:38And so I pulled up that area of the video.
- 6:45So yesterday I watch a
- 6:48podcast called CHGO.
- 6:51It is a Chicago Bears podcast called
- 6:55I've been talking about this
- 6:56for the last couple weeks.
- 6:59Mark Carman,
- 6:59who you see pictured on the right,
- 7:04went to Martinsburg,
- 7:08West Virginia to hang out
- 7:10with Tyson for a weekend.
- 7:12It happened to be the same
- 7:13weekend that Hiller and
- 7:15Erica Fuller were there.
- 7:18So they actually cross over a little bit.
- 7:19You can actually,
- 7:20if you're listening to the video,
- 7:22you can actually hear
- 7:25Hiller and Folo in the
- 7:27background while they're talking.
- 7:31And then they do show some
- 7:32video of the workouts and
- 7:35different things they did
- 7:35over the weekend.
- 7:37And, of course,
- 7:38this reporter didn't have
- 7:40any idea what CrossFit was
- 7:42and just thought it was
- 7:43super crazy and couldn't
- 7:45believe that they were
- 7:47doing all this stuff.
- 7:50But as we know, it's just a way of life.
- 7:53So he makes a small announcement on here,
- 7:57and I'll let you guys hear
- 7:59it for yourself.
- 8:00but I'm thinking sometimes it's like,
- 8:03and we touched on this,
- 8:04but it's underrated.
- 8:07No one does this alone.
- 8:09And like when that guy is
- 8:11out repping you the way he reps you,
- 8:14And forgetting about that,
- 8:16the way he held vision for you.
- 8:19Dude, you can do this.
- 8:21You're my quarterback at six years old.
- 8:23All these things.
- 8:24I mean,
- 8:25I think at some point it's got to
- 8:27have a tenderness for you.
- 8:28Yeah,
- 8:28what are you trying to make me cry
- 8:30right now?
- 8:32Yeah,
- 8:33my dad is the most important person
- 8:34in my whole life.
- 8:35And now that I'm about to be a dad,
- 8:37I think about it a lot.
- 8:39And it is crazy.
- 8:40And I think that also plays
- 8:42into the part of like,
- 8:44you know,
- 8:44I want to make him and my whole family so,
- 8:47so proud.
- 8:48And that's,
- 8:48I just want to take care of
- 8:49them and be the best that I
- 8:51can be so that they can be
- 8:52the best they can be.
- 8:53And I mean,
- 8:54all of this ties into why I go
- 8:57so hard because it's just on autopilot.
- 9:00It's on autopilot because it's the only,
- 9:04like,
- 9:04it's the only way I can really show
- 9:06respect to other people that I love.
- 9:08It's just going hard.
- 9:09Girl, dad coming in here.
- 9:10Whew.
- 9:12Pray for me.
- 9:12Pray for me.
- 9:13How soon?
- 9:16Late October.
- 9:16Late October.
- 9:17Okay.
- 9:17Right.
- 9:17A little season.
- 9:18Yes, sir.
- 9:19You'll do the best you can
- 9:20and then you'll deal.
- 9:21So there you heard it here.
- 9:23Tyson Bajent saying he's
- 9:24going to be a girl dad come late October.
- 9:28So the Chicago Bears backup quarterback,
- 9:30rogue athlete,
- 9:33CrossFitter that uses the
- 9:35CrossFit methodology to
- 9:36prepare for the football
- 9:37season that we've been so
- 9:40honored and privileged to
- 9:41see throughout the last few
- 9:44years was really cool.
- 9:50Terry,
- 9:51I thought I saw a pregnant
- 9:52girlfriend in Hiller's previous video.
- 9:55Yeah, so she is pregnant.
- 9:58It is coming late October,
- 10:00and apparently they already
- 10:01know that it is a girl.
- 10:05One other quick highlight from this video.
- 10:09I watch these guys are
- 10:10actually on at one p.m.
- 10:11Eastern time every day.
- 10:12So I finish up this show and
- 10:14I usually go up,
- 10:16grab my lunch at my work
- 10:17desk and I put this on right after this,
- 10:21this show.
- 10:22But I'm going to show one
- 10:26other clip of this.
- 10:27Here we go.
- 10:29This so they don't have cold
- 10:31tubs where Tyson went to
- 10:34college in Martinsville.
- 10:38So this is their cold tub.
- 10:40They actually go down.
- 10:42So this is freezing cold water.
- 10:44They don't have the
- 10:45facilities at Shepherd
- 10:46University where you're
- 10:47getting in the cold tub.
- 10:48so they go to the shenandoah
- 10:50river wherever that water's
- 10:51coming out of uh I didn't
- 10:53want to be a wimp so I had
- 10:54to get in there too and
- 10:55he's like just sit on that
- 10:57log carm you don't have to
- 10:58come all the way and he's
- 10:58you know he's got his butt
- 11:00on the bottom of that
- 11:01little pool thing you want
- 11:05to call it you look like a gorilla
- 11:10So anyway,
- 11:11I thought that was really funny.
- 11:13They really made fun of Mark Carman, who,
- 11:15again, is not a CrossFitter.
- 11:16He's a reporter in Chicago.
- 11:19He does this podcast every day.
- 11:22And he went to Martinsburg, West Virginia,
- 11:26to be with Tyson for a couple days.
- 11:28It just happened to overlap
- 11:29when Hiller was there.
- 11:31And they made him do some of
- 11:32the crazy stuff.
- 11:34that tyson does when he's
- 11:36working out and one of
- 11:37those is the cold plunge
- 11:39that they do actually in
- 11:41the river and not in they
- 11:43don't have cold tubs uh at
- 11:45the university where he
- 11:47works out or in his garage
- 11:49or anything like that so um
- 11:52so yeah uh the fake savan
- 11:58says I sit in mountain
- 11:59creeks off and around boone
- 12:00north carolina there you go
- 12:05There's my co-host in the chat.
- 12:09Nice to see her.
- 12:11So yeah.
- 12:12So if you're just here, Jamie,
- 12:14I just played the clip
- 12:15where Tyson announced he's
- 12:16going to be a girl dad come late October.
- 12:23So check that out.
- 12:28So yeah, it was,
- 12:29it was a great feature of
- 12:30Tyson yesterday on CHGO.
- 12:33I know most of you are not bears fans.
- 12:36Um, but if you want, it's out on YouTube,
- 12:39but you go to CHGO and I
- 12:41think the title of it is
- 12:44who are the Chicago bears
- 12:45unsung heroes and it's all chaptered out.
- 12:48So you can actually go right
- 12:49to the Tyson interview if you want.
- 12:52Um,
- 12:54And then after the interview,
- 12:56they show some of these clips,
- 12:58like dipping in the Shenandoah River.
- 13:00They go back to the football
- 13:02field in college,
- 13:04and the reporter tries to
- 13:05run the receiver route of a
- 13:07famous play from his college years.
- 13:11things like that.
- 13:12But it's really,
- 13:13I actually learned quite a
- 13:14few things yesterday during
- 13:16this interview.
- 13:17And I watch a lot of Tyson
- 13:18Bajan interviews in and
- 13:20outside of the CrossFit space.
- 13:22So I actually learned a few
- 13:24things on this one.
- 13:25So if you want to check that out,
- 13:26it's out there on YouTube, CHGO sports,
- 13:30and then who are the
- 13:31Chicago bears unsung heroes.
- 13:35And I think you'll enjoy it.
- 13:38So with that,
- 13:42I shared with you guys on
- 13:44Tuesday that Metfix had a
- 13:49big response to some things
- 13:53that I had said and got
- 13:56clipped by Andrew Hiller.
- 13:58And they sent me a ton of
- 14:03videos to check out.
- 14:07And so finally yesterday I
- 14:09had the time to kind of go
- 14:11through all of the videos.
- 14:13And the claim was on Sunday night show,
- 14:20on Sunday night show,
- 14:22Andrew Hiller was in the chat and asked me,
- 14:24how many videos of Greg did
- 14:26I see on their Instagram
- 14:28that were not pulled from
- 14:29the Savant podcast?
- 14:31And I said, none, and I really looked.
- 14:34Well,
- 14:34then they sent me a tremendous amount
- 14:37of videos,
- 14:38and I shared that on Tuesday's
- 14:39show where I showed all the
- 14:43videos that they sent me and said,
- 14:45here are things from everywhere.
- 14:48So I went through all the videos.
- 14:49None of them mentioned Metfix.
- 14:52except for his appearance on
- 14:54the Chris Cooper podcast.
- 14:57And so I'm going to play a
- 15:00clip from this one because
- 15:02I think it leads to
- 15:03something else where MedFix
- 15:06has made a huge misstep.
- 15:11And that is right here.
- 15:18So I'm going to go ahead and play this.
- 15:21MedFix can go there.
- 15:23CrossFit can't.
- 15:24MedFix will stay close with RFK Jr.
- 15:28and Jay Bhattacharya.
- 15:29CrossFit ain't going to do that.
- 15:31No one wants their
- 15:32investment taken where I would take it.
- 15:36I went up and down the halls
- 15:37of Congress with Nina Thomas.
- 15:40So the one thing that he is
- 15:43pointing out in this video
- 15:45is that MedFix can get with
- 15:47the politicians and have a
- 15:50discussion about sugar.
- 15:53And while that may be important,
- 15:57I think that truly aligns
- 15:59more with the broken
- 16:00science initiative than it
- 16:02actually does with MedFix.
- 16:07But here's my bigger point.
- 16:10If you are an obese
- 16:11individual or you are an
- 16:12overweight individual,
- 16:15CrossFit already mastered that.
- 16:17And it didn't come from HQ.
- 16:19Yes, Greg preached all of this stuff.
- 16:22All the broken science stuff
- 16:23that he's been preaching
- 16:24all along was in effect back then.
- 16:28But it was coming into the affiliate.
- 16:30It was being loved on by the
- 16:31coaches and the community
- 16:33of that affiliate.
- 16:35and then showing up three, four,
- 16:38five days a week, getting off the couch,
- 16:41getting moving,
- 16:43and then them teaching you
- 16:45about what you should eat
- 16:47in order to be successful.
- 16:49That was not RFK.
- 16:51That was not Bachikari or
- 16:53whatever he says.
- 16:55All these politicians,
- 16:57none of those are going to
- 16:58help the individuals who
- 17:00need it the most.
- 17:02That's what CrossFit did.
- 17:04That's what CrossFit does.
- 17:06And that's what CrossFit
- 17:07will continue to do.
- 17:10If the only area where
- 17:12Metfix can do something
- 17:13that CrossFit can't is to
- 17:15align with politicians or
- 17:17to talk to politicians
- 17:18about what's going on,
- 17:20I don't think that brings
- 17:21enough to the table.
- 17:25Thank you, Jay Birch.
- 17:27Jay Bhattacharya.
- 17:30if all it can do is talk to
- 17:32those people and align with those people,
- 17:35that's not helping the
- 17:39people like me who walked
- 17:40into a gym and just was begging for help.
- 17:47The affiliates did that.
- 17:50Now they had a leader at
- 17:51that time that preached all
- 17:53of this science and the
- 17:54understanding that,
- 17:56but it was the affiliate who
- 17:57had to put it in the terms
- 17:59in which I could understand
- 18:01and that I could move
- 18:02forward with and that I
- 18:04could become successful.
- 18:07And that's how I walked in
- 18:08at five hundred plus pounds,
- 18:10lost two hundred and fifty
- 18:11pounds and got my life back.
- 18:20So.
- 18:22I feel like.
- 18:24Broken science is a necessity.
- 18:28The CrossFit affiliates are a necessity.
- 18:32And Metfix is trying to find
- 18:34a place with smoke and mirrors.
- 18:44Because they're trying to be
- 18:48a differentiation from
- 18:50CrossFit and they're not.
- 18:52They're using the same language,
- 18:54the same talks Greg said, ten years ago,
- 18:57twenty years ago, now.
- 19:02There's nothing
- 19:03differentiating them from what CrossFit,
- 19:07the base, put together twenty years ago.
- 19:14And now,
- 19:15it seems like they're being called
- 19:18out by...
- 19:21person after person after person,
- 19:23and they're fighting the windmills.
- 19:26They are out there defending
- 19:27every inch of territory by
- 19:30fighting the windmills,
- 19:31and they're not really
- 19:33fighting for anybody who
- 19:34needs it anymore.
- 19:46And I actually had this
- 19:47conversation with Athena the other night,
- 19:50You know,
- 19:51when you're in the battle with
- 19:52weight loss and you're
- 19:55looking for answers and you
- 19:58get to a point where things
- 19:59get a little stagnant or
- 20:00things get a little bit
- 20:01where it's not moving
- 20:03forward anymore and you're
- 20:04looking for other answers
- 20:06and you hear about this Metfix,
- 20:08this shiny new toy,
- 20:09and you go look to like,
- 20:11or what do they know that
- 20:12we don't already know?
- 20:13And I got to try to figure it out.
- 20:16And then you start diving in.
- 20:18And that's what happened.
- 20:19I was confused.
- 20:20I saw this shiny new toy over here,
- 20:23and I wanted to know more.
- 20:25And when I asked to know more, they said,
- 20:27well,
- 20:27we're only going to tell you so much.
- 20:29The rest you got to go do on your own.
- 20:34Sorry, I'm out.
- 20:38You're going to make me work for it?
- 20:40I've taken the big step of
- 20:41coming to ask what it is
- 20:43you got that will make me better.
- 20:48And you tell me, oh, it's something it's,
- 20:52it's really cool,
- 20:53but we're only going to tell you so much.
- 20:57And we may tell it in a
- 20:58language that you don't
- 20:59understand the rest.
- 21:02You got to do on your own.
- 21:06When I walked into a
- 21:06CrossFit gym and I was scared as hell,
- 21:13scared as hell walking into that gym.
- 21:17And the minute I walked in,
- 21:19five people came up and said,
- 21:21how am I doing?
- 21:21Shook my hand,
- 21:23welcomed me to the gym and
- 21:27encouraged me through every
- 21:29aspect of that workout.
- 21:33And if you haven't heard the story,
- 21:34my first workout was Murph.
- 21:37Walk into a CrossFit gym at
- 21:39five hundred pounds.
- 21:40You see Murph on the board.
- 21:43Scared as hell.
- 21:44See that.
- 21:46Looking for a way to run out
- 21:47the door to get back to your car.
- 21:52And then five people say,
- 21:54we're so glad you're here.
- 21:57It's going to be awesome.
- 21:58You're going to love it.
- 22:00You're going to love every minute of this.
- 22:04And then the coach come and say, hey,
- 22:06I know it seems scary,
- 22:08but we're here for you.
- 22:11We're going to make it so
- 22:13you have the same stimulus
- 22:14as every other person in this gym.
- 22:18And we're going to write it
- 22:19up in a way that you can do it.
- 22:21And you're going to
- 22:21accomplish something today.
- 22:25They didn't say, hey,
- 22:27go dig in this book and see
- 22:28if you can find out why
- 22:29we're doing it this way.
- 22:30I'm going to explain it to
- 22:31you on this whiteboard.
- 22:36That's what they did.
- 22:38That's what sucked me in.
- 22:41And that's what made me stay.
- 22:44That was two thousand eleven.
- 22:46It's two thousand twenty five.
- 22:49I'm still there.
- 22:49I'm still fighting.
- 23:00It makes no sense.
- 23:01People are already seeking out help.
- 23:02So then you're going to make
- 23:03them chase you for it.
- 23:05It doesn't make any sense, Meredith.
- 23:12That's like asking a
- 23:13restaurant what's on their
- 23:14menu and them telling you
- 23:15you have to go into the
- 23:16kitchen and look at their
- 23:17fridge and figure it out.
- 23:21People aren't overweight or
- 23:22obese because of lack of
- 23:24information or science.
- 23:25It's putting it into
- 23:26practice that we struggle with.
- 23:28And making it harder for
- 23:29people makes no sense to me.
- 23:33It's almost like MedFix
- 23:35wants to create an exclusive club.
- 23:39And I know in one of Athena's articles,
- 23:41she put it that way.
- 23:42Like the door is partially
- 23:44open and you can see in,
- 23:46you can see the cool kids in here.
- 23:49You can see they have this shiny new thing,
- 23:51but we're not going to let
- 23:53you in the door completely.
- 24:03It's just...
- 24:07We don't need something new.
- 24:09It already exists.
- 24:12And we can be as mad as hell
- 24:13as we want at CrossFit HQ
- 24:15and the way they do things.
- 24:17The people who run these
- 24:18affiliates know what they're doing.
- 24:21They have a love and a
- 24:22passion for what they do,
- 24:24and they are the most
- 24:25encouraging and most
- 24:27valuable asset that CrossFit has.
- 24:31Every one of these gym owners,
- 24:33these affiliate owners,
- 24:35that work long hours for little pay,
- 24:38all so they can see people
- 24:40succeed in life.
- 24:43That's who runs CrossFit right now.
- 24:46And those affiliate owners
- 24:47are never going to let some
- 24:51stupid decision at HQ
- 24:53affect the fact that they
- 24:55want their people who walk
- 24:56into their gym to succeed.
- 24:59Nothing makes them happier
- 25:01than someone losing a hundred pounds,
- 25:04someone losing thirty pounds,
- 25:06someone getting their first double under,
- 25:08someone getting their first pull up.
- 25:13That's why they do it.
- 25:16We sit on these podcasts and we talk about,
- 25:18well,
- 25:19HQ did this wrong and HQ did that
- 25:20wrong and HQ,
- 25:21and maybe they did and maybe
- 25:23it could be better and
- 25:24maybe they could give more
- 25:25support to the affiliates.
- 25:30But the affiliate owners are
- 25:31busting their ass every day
- 25:33and they're giving every
- 25:35one of us what we need.
- 25:37We just have to let them.
- 25:40We don't need the shiny new thing.
- 25:45We know how it is.
- 25:52It was so cool to reconnect with Athena.
- 25:55You know, we used to talk weekly.
- 25:57And I miss her dearly.
- 25:59And through this whole MedFix thing,
- 26:01we've reconnected this week
- 26:03and talked quite a bit.
- 26:06It's really simple.
- 26:08And those of us who've been
- 26:09through it know the formula.
- 26:13Get off the couch.
- 26:16Go to your gym.
- 26:18Do your workout.
- 26:20Eat what fuels your body.
- 26:23And don't eat what hurts your body.
- 26:25It's that simple.
- 26:30But as simple as that is,
- 26:33we make it more complicated
- 26:35and we let things like the
- 26:36shiny new toy distract us.
- 26:39We just needed a reset this week.
- 26:41We needed a reset to realize
- 26:44everything we need is right
- 26:45in front of us at the CrossFit affiliate.
- 26:48All we have to do is go.
- 26:58uh we'll tell you what it's
- 26:59all about but you have to
- 27:00sign up to be an affiliate
- 27:02meanwhile crossfit gives
- 27:03programming away for free
- 27:05and you can get the l-one
- 27:06manual for free online I
- 27:07think you can you can
- 27:09andrew uh jenny says greg
- 27:17says that too in the old
- 27:18videos right keep it simple
- 27:24show up that's it exactly
- 27:27We've had the answer for twenty years.
- 27:32And Metfix is using those
- 27:33same old videos to promote
- 27:37the shiny new toy.
- 27:42They're trying to distract
- 27:43us with the fact that HQ
- 27:45has blundered some things
- 27:47in recent years.
- 27:49But the affiliate owners are
- 27:50still freaking awesome.
- 27:54That's what CrossFit is.
- 27:56It's the affiliate owners.
- 27:59They're the ones that have
- 28:00put this thing all together
- 28:02with guidance from a
- 28:04principle that was put out
- 28:05there by Greg Glassman.
- 28:08Why are we letting the same
- 28:10principles distract us to
- 28:12the shiny new toy?
- 28:16We shouldn't.
- 28:18We shouldn't.
- 28:19We should realize it's the
- 28:20same damn thing.
- 28:23it took me a week to figure
- 28:24it out as I was diving into
- 28:26this thing but it is
- 28:28freaking plain as day now
- 28:34ken walters if it's not
- 28:35broke don't need to change
- 28:37it leto it's simple not
- 28:42easy everyone everyone no
- 28:48everyone knows they
- 28:49shouldn't be eating all the
- 28:50extra sugar tell us
- 28:52who not to then when sugar
- 28:55is literally everywhere in
- 28:56our modern environment.
- 29:01I think this is the edited version.
- 29:03It's simple, not easy.
- 29:04Everyone knows they
- 29:05shouldn't eat all the extra sugar,
- 29:07but tell us how not to when
- 29:09sugar is everywhere in our
- 29:10modern food environment.
- 29:16Denise Moore.
- 29:17I love my affiliate.
- 29:18The owner is my one-on-one coach.
- 29:20I've been going to the same
- 29:22affiliates since the
- 29:22beginning of two thousand ten.
- 29:25I've gone to two affiliates
- 29:27in my fourteen years of CrossFit.
- 29:29Both of them have been amazing.
- 29:32Amazing.
- 29:37And when I had Pete Shaw on,
- 29:37he tried to convince me
- 29:39that there were affiliates
- 29:40out there serving donuts.
- 29:42And maybe there was one or two.
- 29:44I've never seen it.
- 29:45I've traveled all around
- 29:47this country doing drop-ins
- 29:50at box after box after box.
- 29:53Never have I seen gummy
- 29:54bears on the table.
- 29:55Never have I seen donuts like he said.
- 29:58Never have I seen that going on.
- 30:00I have seen people who care,
- 30:02who give a shit,
- 30:03and who want you to succeed.
- 30:08that has been consistent
- 30:09from box to box to box now
- 30:12they may do it in a
- 30:13slightly different way than
- 30:14you like or they may use a
- 30:16different warm-up warm-up
- 30:17than you like or things
- 30:20like that but still they
- 30:26give a and they care
- 30:32Ken Walters trying to put a
- 30:34wrinkle in my dress,
- 30:36a girl scout cookie sales though.
- 30:39Yeah,
- 30:39but the girl scouts put crack in that
- 30:41shit and it just isn't fair.
- 30:46That's not fair.
- 30:47I don't even like sweets.
- 30:49I just, I don't like sweets, but man,
- 30:52you put a Samoa in front of
- 30:53me and it is the worst
- 30:55temptation in the world.
- 30:57I swear to God,
- 30:58there's it's two parts meth,
- 31:01one part crack.
- 31:13so that's all I got to say
- 31:16about that um I wanted to
- 31:20ask you guys if anybody
- 31:21else watched the barbell
- 31:22spin last night uh john
- 31:24young disappeared at the
- 31:25end of the show every
- 31:28wednesday night as I go to
- 31:29bed I put on the spin and I
- 31:31and I watch that as I go to
- 31:33bed every every single wednesday night
- 31:36I nodded off.
- 31:36I woke up.
- 31:38I see a fight over Julie
- 31:40Foucher and Sarah Sigmund's daughter.
- 31:42And then John's like, okay, I'm done.
- 31:44It's over.
- 31:45And then he left the show.
- 31:48Has anybody seen John?
- 31:51Is John okay?
- 31:55Um, cause I haven't seen him since Jody.
- 32:04Uh,
- 32:07barbell spin never heard of
- 32:08it you've heard about it on
- 32:12here because I've talked
- 32:13about it a few times uh
- 32:15tristan says I'm sure he's
- 32:16fine weren't you in the
- 32:18same isn't he in houston
- 32:19with you yeah it's it's at
- 32:24the very end of the episode
- 32:27um and they were ranking
- 32:30like the greatest games
- 32:31competitors of all time and
- 32:33I think they and spin put
- 32:35it beautifully at the end
- 32:37Spin had one idea of like
- 32:41that athletes should be
- 32:45compared with their eras.
- 32:47And John is overall fitness in history,
- 32:52not considering the
- 32:53development of the athlete over time.
- 32:56So, yeah.
- 33:02Jose,
- 33:03I did text earlier and haven't heard
- 33:04back.
- 33:05I didn't get to finish
- 33:06watching last night.
- 33:09Yeah, it was crazy.
- 33:12I literally woke up just in
- 33:14time to see the fight and I
- 33:16couldn't believe what I'd saw.
- 33:20So, and I hate to say it,
- 33:24I'm on spin side.
- 33:26You can't compare Rich Froning,
- 33:27the fitness of Dallin Pepper,
- 33:34you can only compare
- 33:38Because even Rich would beat Rich.
- 33:40Twenty twelve now.
- 33:53So I missed the beginning of the argument,
- 33:55Tristan.
- 33:56And so Tristan said,
- 33:56I don't understand what the
- 33:57point of them having him do it.
- 33:59That was he went in super
- 34:00logical for an overall
- 34:01ranking and spin just
- 34:03argued from the jump.
- 34:04It was like spin just
- 34:05planned to piss him off.
- 34:08I missed the beginning of that ranking.
- 34:12So, yeah.
- 34:16And then Terry said, same,
- 34:17John couldn't grasp another
- 34:18point of view.
- 34:22That's the part I saw.
- 34:23I saw that he couldn't
- 34:24understand what they were saying.
- 34:27So, but again,
- 34:31I'll go back and watch the beginning.
- 34:35It was, it was pretty crazy though.
- 34:37He, he left not happy.
- 34:40I will say that.
- 34:41Um,
- 34:45last thing I wanted to talk about real
- 34:46quick is, uh, uh,
- 34:52Ken puts it beautifully.
- 34:55You can't compare Babe Ruth,
- 34:56seven hundred home runs on brandy,
- 34:57cigarettes and hookers to Barry Bond,
- 34:59seven hundred on steroids.
- 35:03Yeah.
- 35:07And in addition to that, Ken,
- 35:10the pitchers of Babe Ruth's
- 35:11time were also on the
- 35:13Brandy Cigarettes and Hookers,
- 35:15and Barry Bond's pitchers
- 35:18were on the steroids as well.
- 35:30Yeah.
- 35:34So there you go.
- 35:37Ken put it beautifully.
- 35:38Last thing I wanted to say
- 35:40is I'm bringing a little TV
- 35:42talk into this.
- 35:43I've always been a huge fan of the bear.
- 35:47We're on season four of the bear.
- 35:51Season three,
- 35:52I was really down on it though.
- 35:54Season one and two,
- 35:55I could not wait to get to
- 35:56the next episode.
- 35:57I would binge through it really fast.
- 36:00Season three, just kind of
- 36:02let me down but rumor was it
- 36:04was a transitional season
- 36:06to get us to season four
- 36:08and season four uh
- 36:09premiered last week uh my
- 36:12wife and I've been watching
- 36:13it this week and we're
- 36:14really trying to slow roll
- 36:15it uh it has been so good
- 36:18and so much better than
- 36:20season three way right back
- 36:22to the way it was in
- 36:24seasons one and two uh that
- 36:27I I we could binge it really really quick
- 36:31and um we're really trying
- 36:36to kind of savor it I hate
- 36:38when they release all the
- 36:39episodes in one foul swoop
- 36:41because my natural
- 36:42inclination is just to keep
- 36:43on going but I don't want
- 36:45it to be all over in one
- 36:47foul swoop so um jody has
- 36:53seven paid streaming
- 36:54platforms and still can't
- 36:56get the bear you don't have hulu
- 37:01Hulu's kind of our like base
- 37:02are probably our base streaming platform.
- 37:06And then everything off of that, uh,
- 37:08is what we have.
- 37:11So, uh, but it is, it is phenomenal.
- 37:14If you have not watched the bear, it is,
- 37:17I will warn you season three is tough,
- 37:19but the rest of it is awesome.
- 37:22Really freaking awesome.
- 37:24And I can't wait to get back
- 37:26to it for there.
- 37:28Um,
- 37:31Craig,
- 37:32just finished Hiller's new video with Fi.
- 37:33Excellent job.
- 37:35Craig, you're supposed to come here first,
- 37:38then go watch Hiller's video.
- 37:41That's how it works.
- 37:46You got it in the wrong order.
- 37:55I think that's really it.
- 37:56Don't forget to like and subscribe.
- 37:59You guys have been awesome this week.
- 38:01I just saw, I think,
- 38:11Taylor's show with J.R.

- 38:56Monday and Tuesday next week.
- 38:57So with that...
- 39:01Sorry if my Metfix ramble
- 39:02was too long today,
- 39:03but that's just how I'm feeling,
- 39:05and I wanted to get it off my chest.
- 39:07So there is that.
- 39:09Hope John Young is safe and
- 39:11sound and stable again.
