- 0:02All right, everybody.
- 0:03It's been a minute.
- 0:05WFP puts out workout number one.
- 0:08Time for the smear campaign.
- 0:10Let's talk about it.
- 0:22I love the chase and the hunt,
- 0:23and I set the pace when I'm running.
- 0:25I always take what I want,
- 0:26and I always give it one hundred.
- 0:28Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
- 0:29Play the game like it's nothing.
- 0:31I'm always thankful for something.
- 0:32Don't take for granted, stay humble.
- 0:34Now wake up!
- 0:35It's time to look at the enemy.
- 0:38Look in the mirror if he is no
- 0:40friend to me.
- 0:43Train Tala says it's lunch time.
- 0:47What's going on everybody?
- 0:49How you doing buddy?
- 0:51I'm doing fantastic, brother, man.
- 0:53I am doing fantastic.
- 0:54Ready for the schmear campaign.
- 0:57The schmear that a bagel with some
- 0:58schmear.
- 0:59It's a bagel with a schmear campaign.
- 1:03Yeah.
- 1:06Top.
- 1:06I need, I let me, I gotta,
- 1:08I'll pull it up on Instagram so we
- 1:10can see what we're talking about.
- 1:13Um,
- 1:14WFP released event one yesterday.
- 1:18It's making the rounds of discussion to
- 1:22say the least.
- 1:26We're going to talk about it now.
- 1:28Bring it up.
- 1:28Let's see.
- 1:32There it is.
- 1:33Dang it.
- 1:34Hit the wrong button.
- 1:35There we go.
- 1:36So I am slow today.
- 1:40Here we go.
- 1:43We got Amanda in the chat.
- 1:44We got dense in the chat up,
- 1:46up at Dayton.
- 1:47It's all already.
- 1:49And we got Craig.
- 1:50We got Mike can train to olive.
- 1:54So the workout here it is.
- 1:56Are we ready?
- 1:58pro one a and one b five hundred
- 2:01meter swim time cap ten minutes in the
- 2:04first part second part thirty four thirty
- 2:08two forty calorie ski hundred twenty five
- 2:10meter swim thirty two forty calorie bike
- 2:13hundred twenty five meter swim thirty two
- 2:16forty calorie ski time cap sixteen minutes
- 2:22In between,
- 2:22you get a two minute rest from ten
- 2:24to twelve.
- 2:25I'm assuming it is a running clock.
- 2:27So you really only have a four minute
- 2:29cap for the second part.
- 2:32What?
- 2:32So Carolyn actually sent this to me and
- 2:35said, wow,
- 2:36this is this makes no sense to have
- 2:38two swimming events.
- 2:40And I said, well, if it's half points,
- 2:42like if it's fifty fifty and it equals
- 2:45one one hundred point event at the end,
- 2:49then it's the same as if it was
- 2:50just a single swim.
- 2:52Right.
- 2:53But apparently it's not.
- 2:55Down here at the bottom,
- 2:56I don't know if you can see this.
- 3:00Workout one A is worth a hundred points.
- 3:02Workout B is worth a hundred points.
- 3:09So this, and look,
- 3:12and if you look our,
- 3:14look at just these Yonikoski and Lucy
- 3:16Campbell.
- 3:17Oh, let's go.
- 3:18Of course, Pat Vellner, not psyched.
- 3:21That's like surprise, surprise, surprise.
- 3:24Yeah.
- 3:25So you can see, like,
- 3:28Lucy and Yona are going to kill this.
- 3:31Oh, yeah.
- 3:32Yonkosi's going to smash this.
- 3:33Matt Vellner is going to have his water
- 3:35wings on and hope to finish.
- 3:41So I really think this is...
- 3:45Craig is saying cool event,
- 3:47maybe a cool event, but it,
- 3:50a swim event in a nine event weekend
- 3:54that counts for two,
- 3:56a hundred points makes no freaking sense.
- 4:00No freaking sense.
- 4:03Um, and, and here's what I want to,
- 4:07I'm going to get nitpicky and I'm going
- 4:09to get a little swimmy here because of
- 4:10my background in swimming.
- 4:11Here we go in, in swimming.
- 4:15There is no five hundred meter swim.
- 4:18Yeah, no, that's across.
- 4:19It doesn't exist.
- 4:22There is a four hundred meter swim.
- 4:24There's a five hundred yard swim.
- 4:27Yeah, that's what we had at.
- 4:31NFC a couple years ago.
- 4:33But there is no five hundred meter swim.
- 4:38So then you take you take the five
- 4:41hundred meter swim.
- 4:43In my prime,
- 4:44when I trained five hours a day,
- 4:46six days a week,
- 4:48and this was my specialty,
- 4:52five hundred meter swim would probably
- 4:55take me five and a half,
- 4:57five and a half.
- 4:58And I'm guessing because it isn't a real
- 5:01event.
- 5:02So five and a half to five forty
- 5:03five ish peak at the peak point of
- 5:07my season.
- 5:10And that is a guy who is swimming,
- 5:12swimming only five hours a day,
- 5:14six days a week.
- 5:18The time cap on this is ten minutes.
- 5:25I saw that just now,
- 5:27and I'm thinking in my head.
- 5:29Other than Yona and Lucy, and maybe if,
- 5:33and I don't even think she's there,
- 5:35Grace Walton, who's making this cap?
- 5:40It is in a pool, everybody,
- 5:42just so you know.
- 5:43It is in a pool.
- 5:44You're not going to swim outside in
- 5:45Copenhagen in December.
- 5:49Although if you did,
- 5:53it would make this event a whole lot
- 5:54more interesting.
- 5:57So the time cap on this is absolutely
- 6:00asinine.
- 6:03essentially this is a ten minute swim for
- 6:06at least half the field for distance right
- 6:12then they get two minutes rest and hey
- 6:14now you're fatigued and now you gotta do
- 6:18another two fifty let's get back in the
- 6:20water and the time cap on that is
- 6:23probably only four minutes and you gotta
- 6:27ski in between and bike in between these
- 6:29things
- 6:34Two meter swim.
- 6:38Like that's in my prime.
- 6:41And I'm saying prime,
- 6:42like that's like two, twenty each.
- 6:46No, no.
- 6:47For the whole thing.
- 6:48Two, twenty, two,
- 6:49twenty for the two hundred and twenty five
- 6:50meter swims.
- 6:51Yeah.
- 6:52Two hundred twenty for one hundred twenty
- 6:54five.
- 6:54Yeah.
- 6:55So you have over half the time is
- 6:58in the swim and you've got to do
- 6:59the ski and the bike in between.
- 7:05This makes no sense.
- 7:11Unless this is five K measuring at the
- 7:14games in twenty twenty three.
- 7:20It's a five hundred foot swim.
- 7:22It's right.
- 7:23I mean.
- 7:29I mean, if it was a yard pool,
- 7:32I'd say you got some shots at some
- 7:34people finishing this.
- 7:36But at a meter pool, no way.
- 7:39Not happening.
- 7:41And generally,
- 7:42if you're swimming a meter pool,
- 7:43it's fifty meters each way.
- 7:45So you're not even getting a rest for
- 7:47fifty.
- 7:48And that's ten laps of a fifty meter
- 7:50pool.
- 7:53If it's a twenty-five meter pool...
- 7:55which do exist they're just not as as
- 7:57popular um but if it's a twenty five
- 8:00meter pool you're talking twenty laps in
- 8:03ten minutes which is a lot fyi uh
- 8:11yeah yeah the uh the pool where i
- 8:17swim is twenty five yeah generally if it's
- 8:22twenty five it's yards
- 8:25I'm saying, but back and forth,
- 8:27back and forth, back and forth,
- 8:28back and forth, back and forth.
- 8:31It's a lot of transitions,
- 8:32and if you don't know how to flip
- 8:33turn,
- 8:36you're going to lose time every single
- 8:39time.
- 8:39How many of these people are going to
- 8:40have enough breath control to be able to
- 8:44flip a turn?
- 8:47You're going to have five people that can
- 8:49do a flip turn.
- 8:50If.
- 8:53That's what I'm getting at.
- 8:55There's so much more that goes into it
- 8:56than just saying, well,
- 8:57let's do five hundred meters.
- 8:59Let's call it good.
- 9:01Sean, I'm agreeing that it's meters.
- 9:04I'm agreeing that it's meters.
- 9:06And that's what's making these time caps
- 9:08impossible.
- 9:16Oh,
- 9:16it must be a twenty five meter pool
- 9:17because they have bike and ski on separate
- 9:19sides.
- 9:20So they have to do one twenty five.
- 9:21It's definitely a twenty five meter pool.
- 9:24Yeah.
- 9:25So the pool like we had at Legends,
- 9:27because they literally just did almost the
- 9:30exact same workout at Desert City Classic
- 9:36last weekend.
- 9:37I was just looking at it yesterday.
- 9:39They biked fifteen calories,
- 9:42fifteen calories, like fifteen,
- 9:43twelve or something like that.
- 9:46did a seventy five.
- 9:47So down, back in and down skier,
- 9:49don't know the side down,
- 9:51back and down at three times.
- 9:53That was the whole swim event.
- 9:55Yeah,
- 9:55but they didn't have to do a five
- 9:56hundred before that.
- 9:57No, they did not.
- 9:58That's what I'm getting at.
- 10:00One piece of that.
- 10:02It's not a bad test.
- 10:03I don't understand the five hundred
- 10:05beforehand.
- 10:05Like, what is that?
- 10:06What is that there for?
- 10:08It is going to completely fatigue three
- 10:11quarters of the field.
- 10:13They're going to get no rest and
- 10:16And,
- 10:18and then they have to do this other
- 10:19thing.
- 10:20It's, it makes no sense to me anyway.
- 10:27No, no.
- 10:28And then having it, like you said,
- 10:29having them both be a hundred points.
- 10:32So like you are,
- 10:34you're putting out on both of these.
- 10:36You can't like,
- 10:37I don't say sandbag one of them,
- 10:38but you know what I'm saying?
- 10:39You can't,
- 10:40Um,
- 10:40I'm not gonna go a little bit of
- 10:41just a distance swim.
- 10:42I'll be better on the machine with the,
- 10:44the one, twenty-five in between.
- 10:46You can't do that.
- 10:47Like both of these are worth a hundred
- 10:48points after there's just seven more
- 10:51events.
- 10:51So you have to do what you can
- 10:54to get as maximize your points.
- 10:58Uh, Ken Walters,
- 10:59Pat Vellner is going to have his water
- 11:00wings on and hope to finish Clydesdale.
- 11:05That's why Jenny's here.
- 11:11Lito, back with us.
- 11:12Nice seeing you, Lito.
- 11:13What's up, Lito?
- 11:14Is Vellner canceling his trip?
- 11:16I mean,
- 11:19if you're a Vellner or you're someone who
- 11:21is not a great swimmer,
- 11:24to start off the weekend with a two
- 11:26hundred point event that is basically all
- 11:30swimming.
- 11:33Yeah, because for these guys,
- 11:34the ski and the bike is irrelevant.
- 11:36And I think there's confusion about the
- 11:38double points.
- 11:40The double points aren't per event.
- 11:44If you finish first,
- 11:46typically that gets you...
- 11:48I don't even know what the point structure
- 11:50is anymore.
- 11:51Five hundred points, say,
- 11:52for winning tour stop one.
- 11:55Winning this tour stop,
- 11:56you get a thousand points to the overall
- 11:59standings.
- 12:00It's not event by event.
- 12:04you get double points it's at the end
- 12:06of the weekend where you finish earns you
- 12:09double points toward your season total
- 12:15i'll just go with that i believe you
- 12:22he could just skip the event and save
- 12:23the energy i mean let's let's be honest
- 12:30here the man is uh
- 12:33known for digging himself a hole on the
- 12:35first event of a particular weekend so
- 12:39right there yeah not psyched not psyched
- 12:47so yeah i not off to a great
- 12:51start over there not the only i'm assuming
- 12:55that's the only one released so far uh
- 12:57the only one i saw i'll go
- 13:02Yep,
- 13:02that's the only one released on their IG
- 13:04at this point.
- 13:08Yeah, Shay's got a point.
- 13:09What's the minimum work requirement?
- 13:12Jump in the pool?
- 13:13That does not have it on this at
- 13:17all.
- 13:24So not only is it a two-hundred-point
- 13:28event, you have to travel to Sweden.
- 13:31this event and then travel back to
- 13:33copenhagen for the rest of the weekend so
- 13:42you ever caught yourself in a rainstorm or
- 13:47in a in possibly in snow i'd imagine
- 13:49that probably happens on a frozen road as
- 13:50well and uh you were going to kind
- 13:53of start to skid out a little bit
- 13:55and then you over correct it back in
- 13:56the other direction this feels like what
- 14:00that is
- 14:04Oh, we can do swimming better.
- 14:05Watch this.
- 14:06We're going to do events.
- 14:09Back to back.
- 14:11With a two minute break in between.
- 14:16I just don't see where it makes any
- 14:17damn sense.
- 14:18I love swimming like that was my jam,
- 14:20right?
- 14:21Too much.
- 14:22This is way too much.
- 14:25Way too much.
- 14:30There's a comment up here like Lucy
- 14:32Campbell's got to be out of her mind.
- 14:34Yeah.
- 14:35And she's got to be.
- 14:39James Sprague.
- 14:45I'm guessing they'll have a long run as
- 14:47well.
- 14:47Poor Patrick Vellner.
- 14:49That's probably the second event.
- 14:51They'll do that and then they have to
- 14:52run back to Copenhagen.
- 14:53That wouldn't surprise me.
- 14:55Like, all right, Pat,
- 14:56you got out of the water.
- 14:57We're going to take a hundred more points
- 14:59away from you.
- 15:00You got to run back to Copenhagen.
- 15:01We'll see you when you get there.
- 15:03think the problem is you have to take
- 15:04a ferry so he just has to run
- 15:07laps on the ferry while it's going it's
- 15:09going it don't matter if it gets broken
- 15:13whatever what you make and if you miss
- 15:14the ferry god help you because nobody else
- 15:17will get their ride in iceberg across the
- 15:19across the whatever body of water that is
- 15:23your big paddle just like your stand-up
- 15:26paddleboard oh
- 15:31In their defense, oh gosh, Lito, please.
- 15:34There's been back-to-back running events
- 15:36and erg events that are worth doubling
- 15:38points, such as row run at NorCal,
- 15:41where the row was scored separately.
- 15:45But this is a specialist event.
- 15:49This is not just monostructural.
- 15:51This is specialist.
- 15:55Yeah.
- 15:55The machines don't matter.
- 15:56They don't.
- 15:59They don't matter at all.
- 16:01They're all going to be about the same
- 16:04cadence, about the same, you know,
- 16:07run the herbs at about the same watts,
- 16:09whatever you want to call it.
- 16:11And they're going to get in the water
- 16:12and that's where it's going to make a
- 16:13difference.
- 16:15It's an AMRAP and that it's true.
- 16:19Unless you're, you're,
- 16:20you're James or Yona or Lucy.
- 16:24This is, this is an AMRAP.
- 16:26That is a fact.
- 16:33I'm sure they're probably all
- 16:33transferring.
- 16:34I was just making that up.
- 16:39Didn't you hear one more?
- 16:40We just make this stuff up as a
- 16:41smear campaign.
- 16:42Smear.
- 16:45Yeah.
- 16:46It's a smear campaign.
- 16:50It was funny because Carolyn's coming to
- 16:54me like there's no way there should be
- 16:55two swimming events that both are a
- 16:57hundred points.
- 16:58I'm looking at it as these time caps
- 17:00are ridiculous.
- 17:02Yeah.
- 17:02Like in my prime,
- 17:05I would have to push at an all
- 17:08out pace to finish at like six minutes.
- 17:15And you were a swimmer.
- 17:16That's all you did.
- 17:16Right.
- 17:17And that training five hours a day,
- 17:18six days a week,
- 17:19all out pace to hit six minutes.
- 17:22And then, so it, it did, you know,
- 17:26not training like that and training other
- 17:28things.
- 17:28You're talking seven, eight minutes.
- 17:32with maybe two minutes rest,
- 17:33and that's only the best swimmers out
- 17:35there.
- 17:37That's not the other people that just swim
- 17:38to survive and to just middle in these
- 17:44things.
- 17:54Agreed that it's a specialist because we
- 17:56don't do it very often,
- 17:56but since when is bike or rowing a
- 17:59more functional skill than swimming
- 18:01speaking in general here?
- 18:02I'm not saying that it's more functional
- 18:04by any stretch of the imagination,
- 18:06but the machines are the machines.
- 18:09Everybody trains them all the time.
- 18:16Yeah.
- 18:19I just don't.
- 18:21I don't see it.
- 18:25I would put the over-under in people
- 18:26finishing this at ten.
- 18:28Oh, yeah.
- 18:30And I'd take the under.
- 18:34Yeah.
- 18:38Just would, dude.
- 18:39Finishing the worst part.
- 18:41For sure.
- 18:43Absolutely.
- 18:46So, that's that.
- 18:49I also wanted to show you this,
- 18:51a civic pride here.
- 18:58Did you see that Rogue,
- 19:02have you seen this video of their new
- 19:04expansion?
- 19:06I have not.
- 19:07I need to turn on my notification for
- 19:10Rogue.
- 19:12That's a big building, sorry.
- 19:13Yeah, so this is what exists right now.
- 19:16In downtown Columbus.
- 19:18So you can see the skyline back here,
- 19:19right?
- 19:20Yeah.
- 19:20If you look behind, right in here,
- 19:23and I know if you're on your phone
- 19:24or something, it's dirt now back here.
- 19:27They have demolished everything behind the
- 19:29building because that's where the
- 19:33expansion is going to take place.
- 19:35When they are done,
- 19:37they're going to have over a million
- 19:38square foot of space inside their
- 19:45building.
- 19:48Is that not freaking cool?
- 19:52Good for y'all.
- 19:53Good for them.
- 19:57This block used to be a steel mill
- 20:01that made bearings called Timken.
- 20:03And the whole community around it worked
- 20:06at that facility.
- 20:09so when that that factory shut down the
- 20:11whole area like became dilapidated and and
- 20:16broken down when rogue moved their
- 20:18facility here they bought the whole block
- 20:22they've built this facility and it has
- 20:24grown since they've put this this facility
- 20:28there it is phenomenal and this little
- 20:34part like up here this little corner
- 20:37This is their showroom on the front here,
- 20:40and this is their store right there.
- 20:44That's where I would like to go play.
- 20:46And the rest of this is all factory.
- 20:53That is where I would like to go
- 20:55play.
- 20:56Oh, we use Timken bearings, yeah?
- 20:57They used to be made where Rogue sits
- 20:59now.
- 21:01Rob's a helicopter mechanic, so yeah,
- 21:04he probably does use Timken bearings.
- 21:08So, yeah.
- 21:09And where this parking lot is right out
- 21:11here,
- 21:11that's where the Rogue Invitational was in
- 21:14twenty nineteen.
- 21:17The outdoor part,
- 21:19the indoor part was in the factory.
- 21:22They built stands inside the factory like
- 21:24that is on a floor.
- 21:27It's already a big ass building.
- 21:31Yeah.
- 21:31Look at these buildings right here.
- 21:33These are theirs right here.
- 21:37They even own this restaurant right here.
- 21:43Did not know Bill and Kitty was in
- 21:44the restaurant business.
- 21:46Well, Bill, before COVID,
- 21:48was going to open like a barbecue because
- 21:50he loves to smoke meat.
- 21:53And he was going to open a barbecue.
- 21:55So here's the drone at the side.
- 21:58So you can see here where all the
- 21:59demolition has happened.
- 22:02Yes, Lord.
- 22:07So the front of the,
- 22:08up here in front is Fifth Avenue.
- 22:11This here is Second Avenue.
- 22:13So now they own like three blocks.
- 22:22What are they putting in the new space?
- 22:23Did I miss it?
- 22:24So when Rogue initially was in Columbus,
- 22:28they were in five buildings.
- 22:29When they built this facility,
- 22:31they consolidated those five buildings
- 22:33into this one.
- 22:35Because of the growth over since twenty
- 22:38twenty,
- 22:39they are now in four buildings in Columbus
- 22:41again.
- 22:43Including this one.
- 22:45So they are building this expansion to
- 22:47consolidate back down to one building.
- 22:55Isn't that insane?
- 22:57That's a lot of bumper plays.
- 23:00I showed you like the skylines over here.
- 23:03Over here, this is Ohio State University.
- 23:07It's right there.
- 23:08The Ohio State University.
- 23:11Yeah.
- 23:14There it is.
- 23:14Yep.
- 23:19So that's, they're kind of like, you know,
- 23:22and Katie calls games for them.
- 23:23So it's a short drive.
- 23:25And they actually live up in here.
- 23:30So you got four to go.
- 23:35It's going to be like a whole complex
- 23:36type thing,
- 23:37like a self-sustaining neighborhood of
- 23:38sorts.
- 23:40Dude, what they do is like unreal.
- 23:43They like,
- 23:45they order food in a couple of times
- 23:46a week for every staff member.
- 23:48They have, they have thousand people.
- 23:52They really take care of the people.
- 23:55Damn rich people creating jobs and
- 23:56cleaning up a rundown area.
- 23:58I know.
- 24:04How dare they?
- 24:05How dare they?
- 24:08All these Ohio State fans.
- 24:09No, Rob's not an Ohio State fan.
- 24:11He's just a football fan.
- 24:15Like Hershey PA.
- 24:16I love it.
- 24:16Yeah.
- 24:17Yeah.
- 24:19Only it doesn't smell like chocolate.
- 24:20Well...

- 25:24rx margaret
- 25:27I did not.
- 25:28They are giving... He's giving away...
- 25:30You gotta go comment on the actual video.
- 25:34A Cerakoted...
- 25:36the handles are cerakoted when they're new
- 25:40uh the rx evo whatever the same one
- 25:43i got but it's cerakoted i was like
- 25:45i need that rope one year where every
- 25:48month they came out with a like a
- 25:50flavor of the month uh and they did
- 25:53that one when they were sponsoring us they
- 25:56gave away like one of that the color
- 25:59that came out each month
- 26:01And it was based on like whatever holidays
- 26:03were in that month.
- 26:04Like February was pink for Valentine's
- 26:06day.
- 26:07You know, March was green for St.
- 26:09Patty's day, things like that.
- 26:11So yeah, they're good people over there.
- 26:18Yeah.
- 26:18It seemed like it seemed like it,
- 26:20they had other people working for him,
- 26:21dude.
- 26:21Like they,
- 26:23I had never used one until legends last
- 26:25year.
- 26:26They had a booth set up and I
- 26:27went and tried it out and I was,
- 26:28I would, I,
- 26:30I was sold soon as soon as really
- 26:33knowledgeable.
- 26:34A lady was looking at me,
- 26:35watched me jump rope,
- 26:35made some suggestions,
- 26:37watched me jump rope again and was like,
- 26:38here, try this one.
- 26:39And like, so got me properly sized.
- 26:42And I was like, okay.
- 26:44And you look back.
- 26:45I love it.
- 26:46What's funny is I can't use an Evo
- 26:48rope because I spin it too fast already
- 26:53for me to get double unders.
- 26:55They actually, I had to use a,
- 26:56what they call the buff rope.
- 26:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 26:59So it's a little bit heavier,
- 27:00a little thicker,
- 27:01so it would spin a little bit slower
- 27:03because I whip too fast.
- 27:06So that got me to slow down to
- 27:07get my double-unders.
- 27:08It's a wild problem to have.
- 27:13Isn't it?
- 27:14What's cool is if you go and you
- 27:15talk to them,
- 27:16they can pinpoint that stuff like,
- 27:19And when they're at events,
- 27:21and if you need help with double-unders or
- 27:23anything like that,
- 27:24they are there to help for free.
- 27:28They'll hand you a rope, say jump rope,
- 27:29and they'll correct your stuff right
- 27:31there.
- 27:31It's amazing.
- 27:36It really, really is.
- 27:37Dave and Susan are the couple that own
- 27:39RxMark here.
- 27:41Dave and Susan Newman,
- 27:42they're the best people ever.
- 27:44That was good stuff.
- 27:49Humble brag.
- 27:51It's not a brag.
- 27:54It's not the right technique,
- 27:56but they couldn't get me to slow it
- 27:57down other than to put a heavier rope
- 27:59in my hand.
- 28:03It's only crazy if it doesn't work.
- 28:07Yeah.
- 28:10I mean, bottom line,
- 28:11it's only crazy if it doesn't work.
- 28:13I was just thinking that.
- 28:14Poor Scott has to slow down dubs.
- 28:20easy there killer my jumps are not slowing
- 28:22down my jumps are not slowing down i
- 28:25just whip too fast trying to get that
- 28:28rope underneath there you want to go
- 28:32slower i'll tell you what get you a
- 28:34get you a weighted rope most of us
- 28:38have the opposite problem right see i'm
- 28:40just weird i'm just weird
- 28:47Uh, one Oh one, one Oh, Oh,
- 28:48Oh one.
- 28:49I always do double unders with heavier
- 28:51rope.
- 28:52I like those better than the speed rope.
- 28:54I can do them with a speed rope
- 28:55as well.
- 28:56Well, that's a humble brag.
- 28:58That's personal preference.
- 28:59I know people that,
- 29:01that don't like speed ropes.
- 29:02They're like,
- 29:02we'd rather have the heavy one because
- 29:04they like to feel right.
- 29:07Like the base base model of the RX
- 29:09rope.
- 29:09You can get all different kinds of ropes
- 29:11on it.
- 29:12Right.
- 29:13And they have like,
- 29:14the one I have is a,
- 29:14it's like really thick.
- 29:17It's literally called the buff rope.
- 29:22And then they have it all the way
- 29:23down to just the wire.
- 29:24That's what I got.
- 29:28I don't need to look like I was
- 29:29in a slave movie.
- 29:32Just beat yourself up and shit.
- 29:36I'm going to tell you right now.
- 29:42I got a heavy rope.
- 29:43And heavy rope with heavy handles as well.
- 29:46And if you want to look like you
- 29:48just got out of the passion or roots
- 29:50or whatever else is go ahead and start
- 29:52learning on that.
- 29:54That shit hurts a lot.
- 30:02Um, yes.
- 30:02Anyone that swam five to six hours a
- 30:04day is a little off competitor or not.
- 30:07Did you not go to school or have
- 30:09someone do your homework?
- 30:14You hockey people are just as bad.
- 30:16I got up at four thirty a.m.,
- 30:19went to school at five,
- 30:21swam for two hours,
- 30:23went to school all day,
- 30:25went immediately to practice after swim
- 30:28another two and a half and then did
- 30:31off deck work.
- 30:35Just lean muscle mass building,
- 30:37which I might say that's like that's like
- 30:39you.
- 30:39You just regular training type shit.
- 30:41And then a couple days a week,
- 30:43I would lifeguard immediately after that
- 30:45to make some money.
- 30:47And my mom or my coach would bring
- 30:49me food to eat,
- 30:50and I would do my homework on the
- 30:53deck of the pool some nights.
- 30:54And if I'm being truly honest,
- 30:56I was not the best student in the
- 30:57world, so probably didn't even do that.
- 30:59I did not stay eligible.
- 31:03Okay.
- 31:07So you finished fifty dubs with twenty
- 31:09five jumps.
- 31:10No, I wish.
- 31:16I do like ropes,
- 31:17but cool whip speed ropes is the fastest
- 31:20rope in the game.
- 31:20The best rope no one has ever heard
- 31:22of.
- 31:22I've actually heard of it.
- 31:24Jesse Coolman did social media for us at
- 31:28the games in twenty twenty two.
- 31:32And she is her.
- 31:33I think it's her brother that owns that
- 31:34company.
- 31:44Man, that's an exhausting schedule.
- 31:45Yeah.
- 31:47I would imagine so.
- 31:50Hockey is like Chad.
- 31:51Shoot a thousand pucks, call it a day.
- 31:55You never build up stamina and skated?
- 32:01I would imagine most hockey players have
- 32:04been skating since they were three years
- 32:05old.
- 32:08I mean,
- 32:08I understand the sport is different.
- 32:10I don't know.
- 32:10I shouldn't be talking.
- 32:12I don't know shit about ice skating or
- 32:14hockey for that matter.
- 32:15Yeah.
- 32:17Louisiana kids don't know nothing about
- 32:19ice skating.
- 32:19Nope.
- 32:20And I heard they were putting a,
- 32:23there's an ice hockey rink in Baton Rouge.
- 32:24You guys tried on sweat and spit.
- 32:26A hundred percent.
- 32:28But there's a,
- 32:30there's actually an ice hockey rink in
- 32:31Baton Rouge.
- 32:31And the first time I heard about it,
- 32:33I said, there's a what?
- 32:34Where?
- 32:35Where?
- 32:36like yeah they built the ice hockey ring
- 32:38and i was like for who i did
- 32:41not grow up running around outside and
- 32:43going skate on frozen ponds why because
- 32:45there were no frozen ponds to skate on
- 32:48or skates for that matter roller skate
- 32:50sure absolutely but even then like street
- 32:53hockey wasn't a thing that wasn't that
- 32:55wasn't a deal at all yeah i'm going
- 32:59to share one more thing before we move
- 33:01on and then then we can talk about
- 33:03whatever
- 33:05But Susan Prevosnak sent me a reminder
- 33:08yesterday that Mike Egan broke a world
- 33:13record yesterday.
- 33:15And it deserves to be shouted out.
- 33:19He tried to break the record for longest
- 33:23wheelchair run in twenty four hours.
- 33:28And he went one hundred and fifty two
- 33:30point three six miles for the new world
- 33:33record.
- 33:36Talk about jaw dropping.
- 33:38Bro.
- 33:41Oh, hundred and fifty two miles.
- 33:44Don't forget the point three six.
- 33:46Excuse me.
- 33:46And a point three six.
- 33:47Super important.
- 33:48Yeah.
- 33:49What what was the old record that we
- 33:52know?
- 33:54It was like he blew it away.
- 33:55I think it was like one eighteen or
- 33:57something like that.
- 33:58Oh,
- 33:58so he didn't he didn't just go like
- 34:00one nineteen.
- 34:03And I think it was his record and
- 34:04his goal was it.
- 34:09I knew he like blew it out of
- 34:11the water.
- 34:12And I think it was his record and
- 34:14his goal was to get one fifty.
- 34:18Hey, you know what?
- 34:18You set a goal.
- 34:19You look at it and you go,
- 34:21that's what I'm doing.
- 34:23That is what I'm doing.
- 34:23That is insane.
- 34:27So insane.
- 34:27Hey, Lana.
- 34:34Do they test for PEDs in that?
- 34:36I think he's competed in the CrossFit
- 34:38Games.
- 34:39I think he's done other things around the
- 34:41space.
- 34:42This is just a goal that he had,
- 34:44and he trained for this.
- 34:46And if you look at him,
- 34:47he doesn't look like he's juiced up.
- 34:52And I would think that he would not
- 34:54want to be heavier.
- 34:55You do not want to push more weight
- 34:58than you need to.
- 35:00To be fair,
- 35:01Lance Armstrong also did not look like he
- 35:04was juiced up.
- 35:08That was different stuff, though.
- 35:10I have absolutely no idea.
- 35:11I just know he got popped or whatever.
- 35:14He never popped.
- 35:15That's the key.
- 35:16Really?
- 35:17He just finally admitted.
- 35:18Oh, he just finally admitted.
- 35:19He finally just said, you know what?
- 35:21Yeah.
- 35:24uh and mike devito was just teasing uh
- 35:27meredith my hands would be torn to shreds
- 35:29by the end of that yeah i think
- 35:31you'd have to train that too you'd have
- 35:32to build up the calluses he's got gloves
- 35:35on meredith i don't know what you worried
- 35:37about for uh people had grips on during
- 35:40atalantia did you see hayley adams in the
- 35:43blood dripping
- 35:46That image is one of several that has
- 35:47burned into my brain for the rest of
- 35:49my life.
- 35:50Yes, I definitely saw that.
- 35:52Speaking of Haley Adams,
- 35:53along with her back after the ruck run
- 35:58at the games,
- 36:00was that the following year or the year
- 36:02before?
- 36:05Claire,
- 36:06I've had the opportunity to train with
- 36:07Lance.
- 36:07He's still a freak.
- 36:09Oh, sure.
- 36:11Yeah.
- 36:13I think that's the thing that's like –
- 36:15I was thinking about this.
- 36:16I've thought about this for a week when
- 36:18the last games person,
- 36:20the Masters woman that tested positive,
- 36:23and we make a big deal about it,
- 36:24right?
- 36:25There are people that are testing positive
- 36:27in the NFL like all the time now.
- 36:31They get a six-game suspension or
- 36:32nine-game suspension,
- 36:34and it's not even talked about on
- 36:35SportsCenter.
- 36:37It might be on a crawl.
- 36:38It's just something that is, right?
- 36:41And we just move on.
- 36:44And you've never seen the Lance Armstrong
- 36:47documentary.
- 36:49The crazy thing is he tried to do
- 36:51it natural for so long.
- 36:53And he kept just missing the championship
- 36:55of the Tour de France.
- 36:56And everybody else was doing it.
- 37:00And he's trying to beat these steroid
- 37:01freaks and these people using...
- 37:06They spun the blood,
- 37:07whatever that's called.
- 37:08Human growth hormone and spinning the
- 37:12blood.
- 37:14he and he kept not beating them and
- 37:17he just finally said if i'm gonna win
- 37:19i'm gonna have to do it yeah he
- 37:27had he admitted it and he admitted he
- 37:29admits it in the documentary too he he
- 37:33has definitely admitted he just never got
- 37:35he never tested positive
- 37:42EPO.
- 37:43Blood doping.
- 37:45Yeah.
- 37:47You spin the blood cells out and then
- 37:49you put them back into your body.
- 37:52And so you can get more oxygen to
- 37:54your way.
- 37:58And so I was very conflicted watching the
- 38:02documentary because the whole sport is
- 38:05dirty in cycling.
- 38:07The entire sport.
- 38:11Now, does that condone him doing it?
- 38:14No.
- 38:16No, of course not.
- 38:17But as a human,
- 38:18I could see the only way I have
- 38:20a shot is to do it,
- 38:22to join him.
- 38:25Knowing you have greatness inside of you,
- 38:26knowing that you can do it,
- 38:28you're trying to do it the right way,
- 38:30and you're watching literally everybody
- 38:31else do it the opposite way.
- 38:33It's got to be...
- 38:35demeaning and like one of the hardest
- 38:37things on the face of the planet to,
- 38:39to accomplish knowing that if I can,
- 38:42if I just do what they're doing,
- 38:43I'm going to beat the shit out of
- 38:45all of them.
- 38:46And I'm not saying I would make that
- 38:47jump and do it.
- 38:48I'm just saying I can understand the brain
- 38:50that would.
- 38:51Yeah, no, one hundred percent.
- 38:54I can understand looking at it and going,
- 38:56yeah, if you can't beat them doing like,
- 38:58and slowly realizing that it's not just
- 39:00that dude, it's not just this dude.
- 39:01It's not just this dude.
- 39:03It's all of these dudes.
- 39:06Like that's gotta be,
- 39:08it's gotta weigh on me.
- 39:10I mean, it has to.
- 39:13Well, and in the documentary,
- 39:14they do a great job showing like,
- 39:15cause he finished like second,
- 39:16finished third in the tour de France.
- 39:18It wasn't like he was finishing eighth and
- 39:20twelfth.
- 39:21Right.
- 39:22Just kept getting out sprinted at the end
- 39:25on every,
- 39:26like every single year he would be winning
- 39:28for stage after stage.
- 39:30And then at the very end,
- 39:31they would out sprint him and beat him.
- 39:37Howie,
- 39:38I would juice to it's taking money out
- 39:39of your pocket.
- 39:42Yeah,
- 39:42but the damage it did to him after
- 39:44like now he is a he is he
- 39:48went from one of the most revered athletes
- 39:50in the history of sport to an outcast.
- 39:56That's that's what kind of blows him.
- 39:57There's different standards for different
- 39:58sports.
- 40:00Like,
- 40:00people are popping left and right in the
- 40:02NFL,
- 40:02and they just go away for six weeks
- 40:04and come back, and nobody says anything,
- 40:06right?
- 40:06And nobody cares.
- 40:07Like, I got a notification,
- 40:09but I don't know where I saw it
- 40:11this morning,
- 40:12I think before I went to coach.
- 40:14Like, oh, former LSU player,
- 40:17now playing in the NFL,
- 40:18popped for whatever use.
- 40:21I don't remember what it said.
- 40:22And it was a footnote.
- 40:23It was just like, oh, yeah, this dude,
- 40:25he used to play for the Tigers,
- 40:27just got popped.
- 40:29And that was it.
- 40:29He didn't even mention his name.
- 40:31It was just former LSU player.
- 40:33And I was like, oh, all right.
- 40:37David Reed,
- 40:37twenty of twenty one podium finishers in
- 40:39the Tour de France from ninety nine to
- 40:41two thousand five have been directly tied
- 40:43to doping through admissions.
- 40:45That's and that's the time where Lance
- 40:47was.
- 40:48Yeah.
- 40:49Right.
- 40:49And that they point that out in the
- 40:51documentary.
- 40:52That's insane.
- 40:55That's all of them.
- 40:56So it wasn't like this guy and that
- 40:58guy.
- 40:59It was everybody.
- 41:01Let me put this out there.
- 41:04This is my own personal opinion.
- 41:05If it's twenty out of twenty one,
- 41:07it's twenty one out of twenty one because
- 41:09that's it's through admissions.
- 41:10Right.
- 41:11So one guy is just sitting there going,
- 41:12oh, no.
- 41:14Yeah.
- 41:15He's the guy still tied up to the
- 41:16chair with the one light bulb hanging over
- 41:18his head,
- 41:18getting beat with a phone book and still
- 41:21hasn't given it up.
- 41:21Not giving it up.
- 41:22No, no.
- 41:24Like they,
- 41:25they fix it and start going with the
- 41:27pliers on his fricking on his thumbnail.
- 41:29And he's like, wouldn't me, wouldn't me.
- 41:36Yes, it was.
- 41:37Isn't that wild how like in CrossFit,
- 41:38like the minute someone pops, it's,
- 41:43The biggest travesty in the world.
- 41:44They should be gone forever.
- 41:46Ricky should never be allowed to come
- 41:48back.
- 41:49Blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 41:51And in football, it's like, yeah, okay.
- 41:55Will my team be able to make it
- 41:56through the six games without them?
- 41:58And then when he gets back,
- 41:59we'll be better.
- 42:00And look, and don't do it again.
- 42:04Right.
- 42:06Not a problem.
- 42:08Or don't get caught again.
- 42:10Yeah, that's what that means.
- 42:12That's what that means.
- 42:16That's what I'm with right there.
- 42:18But that's what we're saying, Winter.
- 42:21There are sports where it doesn't even
- 42:24damage your reputation.
- 42:28I think she's talking about just like in
- 42:29our space.
- 42:34I am terrified of him because I have
- 42:37absolutely no idea what it's going to do
- 42:40to me long term.
- 42:42I'm forty years old, dude.
- 42:43I got a long time to go and
- 42:46I do not need to be like you
- 42:48see, you know,
- 42:50like all these giant bodybuilders that
- 42:52were on all of this shit back in
- 42:53the eighties, nineties,
- 42:55two thousands and whatnot.
- 42:56They can barely walk now.
- 42:58Right.
- 43:00I'm not messing with none of that shit,
- 43:01dude.
- 43:01Like, I don't want that in my life.
- 43:03I don't.
- 43:04If I win.
- 43:05Cool.
- 43:06If I make it.
- 43:07my own merit cool if not i'm not
- 43:10there's i can't bring myself to do it
- 43:12there's no possible way well and those
- 43:14athletes in bodybuilding are put they're
- 43:17they're the extreme level they're the ones
- 43:18doing the hair horse steroids and they're
- 43:21putting so much mass on their body that
- 43:23it just can't take the weight right that's
- 43:26why they're walking around the way they
- 43:27are it's not like the steroid comes in
- 43:29and deteriorate your joints your body
- 43:31wasn't made to carry
- 43:34eight, twenty eight inch biceps, right?
- 43:38Lightweight.
- 43:39Oh, yeah, that's another good.
- 43:47Miss Olive,
- 43:49I don't think another person will pop and
- 43:51make a comeback like Ricky did.
- 43:53Maybe it was his accent or is,
- 43:55but I doubt that will ever happen again.
- 43:57I don't know.
- 43:58We'll see.
- 44:00I think harder today.
- 44:02Oh, man.
- 44:03What was his name?
- 44:04That's when I said he was the Propecia
- 44:07he was using.
- 44:10Phil Toon?
- 44:11Phil Toon.
- 44:12Phil Toon's a good example, dude.
- 44:13Phil Toon is not Ricky Mack.
- 44:16Phil Toon popped.
- 44:17Phil Toon popped and said, all right,
- 44:19now I'm going to lean in.
- 44:20And yeah,
- 44:21he just went completely in the opposite
- 44:22direction.
- 44:23He was like, here we go.
- 44:25You want to know about stacks?
- 44:27Keep it a secret.
- 44:28Yeah.
- 44:30Buy my e-book now.
- 44:33He leaned all the way into it.
- 44:38I like what Olive's saying.
- 44:40People were freaking out when Sha'Carri
- 44:41Richardson tested for marijuana and she's
- 44:46a track star, right?
- 44:48Yeah.
- 44:51Okay.
- 44:51When was the last time you've looked at
- 44:53marijuana and said, well,
- 44:54that's a performance enhancing drug?
- 44:55That's what I'm saying, dude.
- 44:56Why is that a thing?
- 44:59Why is that a thing?
- 45:00She is not...
- 45:02hitting the bone so she could run a
- 45:05nine second hundred meter or whatever she,
- 45:08whatever, how fast she, you know,
- 45:09I don't even know what,
- 45:11what race she runs, but she's, uh,
- 45:14like it's not,
- 45:15it's not performance enhancing.
- 45:22A relaxed muscle is a fast muscle.
- 45:24Yeah.
- 45:24But the bag of Doritos is air drag
- 45:26when you're running down the running.
- 45:28Yeah.
- 45:34It's hard to run with five donuts in
- 45:35your hand.
- 45:35I'm going to tell you that right now.
- 45:41Yeah.
- 45:42Spiking on down the thing.
- 45:44I don't understand that one.
- 45:45I don't get it.
- 45:46I really don't get it.
- 45:48The banning of marijuana blows my mind
- 45:49completely.
- 45:50Not that I'm advocating that everybody
- 45:52should be on it by any stretch of
- 45:53the imagination,
- 45:53but it is not a performance enhancing drug
- 45:55by any stretch of the imagination.
- 46:01asthma medication in skiing is a big thing
- 46:05as well.
- 46:07Well, good.
- 46:07I have tons of asthma medicine because I
- 46:09have asthma.
- 46:11So maybe I should take up skiing.
- 46:14Scott called me the next minute.
- 46:18Look out, here I come.
- 46:19That's good shit.
- 46:25I think that's why the NFL stopped testing
- 46:27for marijuana.
- 46:27Actually,
- 46:28where the NFL got caught in is that
- 46:31marijuana has been shown to have benefits
- 46:34for CTE.
- 46:34Yeah.
- 46:36And CTE is a bigger issue for the
- 46:39NFL than weed smoking.
- 46:40And if weed smoking is helping CTE,
- 46:43then by all means, toke it up, guys.
- 46:46Yeah.
- 46:47Yeah,
- 46:49with Philip Mike's comment right there.
- 46:51Yeah.
- 46:53If weed would have been a PED,
- 46:55I would have earned a full scholarship to
- 46:56college.
- 46:57I got a full ride.
- 46:59One hundred percent.
- 46:59Same, Mike.
- 47:00Same.
- 47:01I'd have been full ride, full.
- 47:03Like they'd have been paying me to go
- 47:05at that point.
- 47:06One hundred percent.
- 47:12You see Olivia's five hundred pound squat.
- 47:18No, I am not.
- 47:20Which Olivia?
- 47:30I saw a chick do a five hundred
- 47:32pound squat.
- 47:33Olivia Reeves.
- 47:34Yeah, I did see that.
- 47:38Who is Olivia Reeves?
- 47:40Power lifter, if I'm not mistaken.
- 47:44The video is insane because she's got like
- 47:47nine billion plates on it.
- 47:58She's an Olympic lifter.
- 48:01And I don't see the squat.
- 48:07I just saw it yesterday or day before.
- 48:10Something like that.
- 48:13But it was bananas to watch.
- 48:16It looked like me squatting two hundred.
- 48:19Saw four fifty one for two.
- 48:23She just went and popped one back up.
- 48:27Smile on her face.
- 48:29And reacted.
- 48:37She's twenty two.
- 48:38No, not that.
- 48:39But I mean, there's four eighty four.
- 48:42That's not it.
- 48:43It's her from the front.
- 48:45That looks like work.
- 48:49The one that her five hundred.
- 48:58Her five hundred look like I'm telling
- 49:01you, it didn't look like that.
- 49:02Yeah, I don't I don't see it, dude.
- 49:08Maybe it's in her story.
- 49:09Nope.
- 49:10She had her story on.
- 49:14Somebody shared it.
- 49:16But yeah, it's her from the front,
- 49:19trying to freestand the squat rack.
- 49:21And like Lito says, no knee sleeves,
- 49:24full depth, and it's just back up.
- 49:32Racked it.
- 49:34It looked like if I had had two
- 49:36hundred pounds on the bar and just
- 49:40Scott didn't entertain my bait on the
- 49:42Fikowski comment.
- 49:43I didn't see the Fikowski comment.
- 49:46He said that there's a lot of comments
- 49:49coming in here, guys.
- 49:50Yeah.
- 49:51He basically said that Fikowski looks like
- 49:54Gumby since he stopped competing.
- 49:59So clearly that means he was on something
- 50:01while he was competing.
- 50:01Hmm.
- 50:07They also stopped training, dude.
- 50:11A lot.
- 50:11Doug said he sent you a DM.
- 50:19That was ESPNW that had it.
- 50:22The W.
- 50:25Not to be confused with the Ojo.
- 50:32Yeah, that looks hard.
- 50:38Can I just say,
- 50:38I hate those squat racks.
- 50:40We had those in my high school when
- 50:42I played football.
- 50:44And trying to hit those.
- 50:47Yeah.
- 50:48Scott,
- 50:48just the fact that she's got five hundred
- 50:50pounds on that squat rack.
- 50:52Like.
- 50:55Look, just.
- 50:57Yep.
- 50:58Wow.
- 51:01That's terrible.
- 51:04Yeah.
- 51:05Yeah.
- 51:07mine wasn't that easy i hit a five
- 51:15hundred in high school one time and i
- 51:18was trying to get there a couple years
- 51:20ago and the most i got to is
- 51:21four sixty seven yeah maybe the uh
- 51:28My last one was like four,
- 51:29fifteen or something like that,
- 51:31and it did not look like that.
- 51:32There was a whole lot more of me
- 51:33trying to fight out the bottom,
- 51:37fight through the sticky part,
- 51:38trying to get it back up.
- 51:41Barbell was working harder than her.
- 51:42Yeah.
- 51:47She doesn't get any whip at the bottom
- 51:48and coming up, though.
- 51:50It doesn't really start whipping until it
- 51:52gets back onto the rack.
- 51:54Yeah.
- 51:57I'm more likely to weigh five hundred than
- 52:00to lift five hundred.
- 52:04I deadlifted five hundred once.
- 52:06You understand?
- 52:06And it looked way harder than it did
- 52:09for her to back squat just now.
- 52:13And that's how I met your mother.
- 52:20Frida, if the bar didn't dance,
- 52:21I would be sus that they were painted
- 52:23plates.
- 52:24Painted plates.
- 52:31through that.
- 52:31So I was brave enough to put painted
- 52:33plates on a video on the ESPNW that
- 52:37they knew was going to be on everywhere.
- 52:39God bless them for that.
- 52:42imagine oh and her face is like beet
- 52:44red at the top she made it look
- 52:46easy but it was you could tell it
- 52:47was not oh yeah i was having that
- 52:50conversation with uh somebody this morning
- 52:52that like a lot of things that people
- 52:54make look easy or anything but easy like
- 52:59you see it you see people going on
- 53:00walking on their hands and like just
- 53:02flying down the thing and they're like oh
- 53:04it looks so easy it's not you've got
- 53:06upside down trying to breathe while
- 53:07walking on your hands it's taxing so
- 53:12So my buddy and I would do,
- 53:13they used to have this night before
- 53:15Thanksgiving competition at a local gym
- 53:17here.
- 53:18So the Wednesday before Thanksgiving,
- 53:20three workouts, just like bang, bang,
- 53:23bang, waterfall style.
- 53:25And there was a workout where you had
- 53:28to do like a wall-facing handstand hold
- 53:31while your partner did wall balls.
- 53:32Oh, right.
- 53:37Every time, like, to breathe upside down,
- 53:40doing wall balls and then going upside
- 53:43down so your body can go for a
- 53:44while, it is nearly impossible.
- 53:48Now,
- 53:48I know I'm a bigger guy and I'm
- 53:49holding a lot up there, but damn.
- 53:53You're just holding a handstand, like,
- 53:55after a while.
- 53:56And by a while, I mean, like,
- 53:58fifteen to twenty seconds.
- 54:00Your breathing gets labored.
- 54:01You're doing a whole lot more work than
- 54:02you ever expected you would do.
- 54:04And it's because your body was not
- 54:05designed to...
- 54:06Rest.
- 54:07Upside down.
- 54:09And you realize that wall balls are slow.
- 54:12Yeah.
- 54:13There's really no way to speed them up.
- 54:16Gravity only brings the ball back down so
- 54:19fast.
- 54:20Gravity works.
- 54:21It's constant, as it turns out.
- 54:23I know that's a wild concept for most
- 54:24people to understand,
- 54:25but having to hold a handstand while
- 54:29somebody else does anything,
- 54:30or just hold something.
- 54:33Like we...
- 54:35I had one,
- 54:36I forget what it was for,
- 54:37but you had to pick up deadlift and
- 54:40just hold the bar while somebody was doing
- 54:42something else.
- 54:43That fucking sucks.
- 54:45That is fun for about ten seconds.
- 54:47And then you're like, hey, bro,
- 54:48I'm going to need you to hurry up.
- 54:49I need you to hurry up.
- 54:54I always hated those partner workouts
- 54:55where you had to hold something.
- 54:57Hang on a bar, upside down,
- 55:00hold a deadlift.
- 55:03This is not getting any lighter.
- 55:10Speaking of competitions,
- 55:11thoughts on French throwdown reserving
- 55:12half the field for the Europeans.
- 55:14I'm okay with it because it's only half.
- 55:16The other half,
- 55:17anybody around the world can come.
- 55:21I actually think it's a good strategic
- 55:23move to let hometown people out on the
- 55:26floor to compete,
- 55:28to bring more crowd to the event,
- 55:31to watch their people.
- 55:33And the fact that they get to go
- 55:34up against maybe some of the better
- 55:35athletes in the world is pretty cool.
- 55:39I just don't like it when it's a
- 55:41hundred percent competitive.
- 55:44Yeah,
- 55:44they just strictly geofenced it and said
- 55:46just Europeans, whatever.
- 55:49That I probably had a bit of an
- 55:50issue with, but half, I like that.
- 55:55Those type of partner workouts turn
- 55:56friends into enemies.
- 55:58Yeah.
- 55:59Friendlies.
- 56:01John George, not true.
- 56:02Have you seen how fast those High Rocks
- 56:03people do wall balls?
- 56:06It's a lot easier if you don't do
- 56:07all the rep.
- 56:08Yeah.
- 56:10Not half the rep.
- 56:11It takes half the time.
- 56:12Takes half the time.
- 56:19Don't try to understand it, Tristan.
- 56:22Just take a deep breath and move on,
- 56:23dude.
- 56:23Yeah.
- 56:24You're not,
- 56:24you're not going to make sense out of
- 56:26it.
- 56:27Every single thing, every single year,
- 56:31something comes up that either doesn't
- 56:33make sense or, or whatever,
- 56:38whatever the case may be.
- 56:38I guess.
- 56:45You're combining years.
- 56:47We don't know that the Open is a
- 56:48requirement this year.
- 56:49We haven't seen that part of the rulebook
- 56:51yet.
- 56:54All we've seen is what semifinals are
- 56:55saying.
- 56:56We don't have CrossFit's requirement to go
- 56:59to the games that you have to finish
- 57:01anywhere in the top whatever in the Open
- 57:04like it did last year.
- 57:06That has not been released yet.
- 57:08official we got what the semifinals are
- 57:10telling semifinals to tell us we still
- 57:12don't have a rule book yet either which
- 57:14is unsurprising but george you talking
- 57:20about uh joe linton on jason girl podcast
- 57:24i don't know i didn't i didn't watch
- 57:31that whole thing i've watched enough joe
- 57:33linton in the last few weeks and i
- 57:34just can't anymore
- 57:39I've been watching everything that comes
- 57:40up in relation to the Masters just to
- 57:44get the best look,
- 57:49try to figure out what it's going to
- 57:51look like whenever it comes time.
- 57:55If I see one of them on,
- 57:55I'll go watch it.
- 57:59Lito, Barbell's been posted that,
- 58:01but yeah, fair.
- 58:01That's also what the French Throwdown told
- 58:04me when I DMed them.
- 58:06Here's the issue.
- 58:08The releasing of information should be a
- 58:12rule book first.
- 58:14Then the locations of the semifinal
- 58:17second.
- 58:20I'm going to need you to stop trying
- 58:21to apply logic to how any of this
- 58:24goes on.
- 58:25We're so excited that CrossFit's telling
- 58:26us anything this early.
- 58:28We're kind of forgiving them on the order.
- 58:30Yeah.
- 58:33But it's created all this confusion,
- 58:36and that's why Holly put up that Google
- 58:39Doc with everything she can find so that
- 58:43we can sort it out the best we
- 58:45can at this point.
- 58:49But hopefully we get a rule book soon.
- 58:52So.
- 58:59Wishing one hand and pooping other one.
- 59:01Scott,
- 59:02you tell me which one fills up first.
- 59:06Generally,
- 59:07the rule book has come out first part
- 59:09of December.
- 59:12We're not that far away from the first
- 59:13part of December.
- 59:14No, we are not.
- 59:16And then hopefully when that comes out,
- 59:17we can then put all the puzzle pieces
- 59:19together in the Google document so you
- 59:22guys can have that.
- 59:25And then you can...
- 59:28with all the links to wherever you need
- 59:30to see the source document.
- 59:32So, yeah.
- 59:36And I say we,
- 59:37and I have very little to do with
- 59:39that.
- 59:40I just cheer Holly on.
- 59:43Go, Holly.
- 59:45She does fantastic.
- 59:48She is amazing.
- 59:50I cannot express that enough.
- 59:52too much or too many times she is
- 59:55amazing and i just love the fact that
- 59:58i don't even have to give her any
- 1:00:00information she just keeps spitting out
- 1:00:03information i love that i'm sorry i posted
- 1:00:06so much stuff yeah that was my favorite
- 1:00:11hey bro stop apologizing to me you are
- 1:00:15incredible keep doing what you do stop
- 1:00:18apologizing to me for making my channel
- 1:00:19better please stop doing that
- 1:00:23All right, guys,
- 1:00:25I need to get back to work.
- 1:00:27I got to write a document.
- 1:00:29So with that, it's been fun today.
- 1:00:32Didn't get to the hall of fame topic
- 1:00:34that I would wanted to revisit today with
- 1:00:36you.
- 1:00:37So maybe we'll do that later in the
