Latest / The Spin Podcast / Hiller Live Reaction to WFP Behind the Scenes Episode 3
Transcript
- 0:32Welcome to a special edition. I don't even know what to call
- 0:36it. We don't it's not the spin, but
- 0:37it's something and is it? I think Wednesday night is the
- 0:43spin. But anyway, I if you haven't
- 0:49been watching I I have my World Fitness Project shirt on so I'm
- 0:51very official right now and lost.
- 0:56What's that? How much would that cost?
- 0:58I don't know, 35 bucks something like that, anything to support
- 1:02the world fitness project. And anyway, the if you guys
- 1:06didn't notice it in between the the live streams that they put
- 1:12on YouTube a day later, they snuck in some some behind the
- 1:16scenes footage each day. And I thought after Hiller gave
- 1:21away free $5000 value free to them on their first documentary
- 1:27or the documentary entering into this, that we should maybe give
- 1:31them some more. I don't know.
- 1:33And so I want to, I want to get your take on Behind the Scenes
- 1:39Episode 3. So I think you'll like it.
- 1:43Why you say that? Why?
- 1:44Why? I mean, I think they probably
- 1:46took your advice. I mean, I think they've they've
- 1:48definitely incorporated so much of this and.
- 1:50You you get it. I've seen it, I've seen it.
- 1:53I saw it and I thought you. Saying they take my advice.
- 1:57Yeah, and and so you've not seen this.
- 1:59I want you to to, you know, give more feedback.
- 2:04Again, another $5000 free value courtesy of the Barbell Spin and
- 2:08Andrew Hiller. And let's see, you know how you
- 2:14think the tour stop tour behind the scenes was.
- 2:18So here it is. It's overexposed.
- 2:22It's. Not a good start.
- 2:27We're we're not even a second into it.
- 2:30Oh, man. All right.
- 2:32Could this 14 minutes and one second.
- 2:35So there's a there's a lot going on.
- 2:37So here we go. Get ready guys.
- 2:42And the saturation's kind of low, but that's, that's fine.
- 2:45It could just be a creative look.
- 2:56Sorry, sorry. Did you hear that?
- 3:01That's what the one of the runners was like.
- 3:03Getting her way like that was the first thing that was said
- 3:05was sorry. Oh no, I did not hear that.
- 3:09I couldn't hear that. Listen.
- 3:16Oh no, I should say I kind of like the shock we're handing
- 3:23over the athletes. This is fine so far.
- 3:30I'm OK with this, Maggie. Right?
- 3:37You're obviously. In an interesting spot, right
- 3:39where you were in the Pro division and indeed I mean the
- 3:42Challenger division, you can still make it to the top.
- 3:45The dude needs to stop shooting interviews like this.
- 3:49Like every single one needs to be pointing down.
- 3:52And I learned this I think, from Alexis.
- 3:53Chicks don't like it in particular because it makes you
- 3:56look fat when you shoot up at their chin like this.
- 3:59You gotta get like eye level. And then basically the whole
- 4:02time I'm recording people, I'm like making sure they're in the
- 4:04frame and I'm like, look, look at me, but change the angle of
- 4:08the camera. Yeah, so this is the very first
- 4:11thing. I don't even know what's going
- 4:12on, why they're inside if they're starting outside.
- 4:15So this is the, I guess Friday, I think is really what they're
- 4:20what they're doing. So anyway, miss, what did what
- 4:24did Derek say? IBA Barara Ilbarra, yes.
- 4:28You were not able to pronounce his name?
- 4:30Yeah. So anyway, Mr. Chris Ibarra.
- 4:34Sorry to go to Copenhagen. How do you how do you approach
- 4:37this weekend knowing that there's obviously like the
- 4:39Copenhagen spot to play for I. Mean all I can do is win.
- 4:43I can't do anything else. That's all I need to do.
- 4:46If they would have just had a shot of Ibarra saying all I can
- 4:49do is win, I think that would have been sufficient.
- 4:53It seemed like the guy, it seems Marius, right?
- 4:56They think Marius. Marius something.
- 4:59Truth. Is his last name Truth?
- 5:01Truth Truth Films is his Instagram.
- 5:03Yeah, Mr. Truth, He, he, he, he seemed like he was stumbling.
- 5:06He didn't really know what he wanted to ask.
- 5:08And, and that's OK, You should, you could have a three to five
- 5:10minute interview, but if that's the best of the three to 5
- 5:13minutes, he just needs to brush up on his interviewing skills.
- 5:16Yes, yes. All right.
- 5:17Here we go, Roman. How are you today?
- 5:22You like a you like a good running workout, don't you?
- 5:25Yeah, yeah, I like it. But it's like, I think it's
- 5:29weird, worse, like something like running like this.
- 5:34But it's OK. We'll see.
- 5:36How's it going, Emily? Oh no, that's the best you get
- 5:39from Roman. How how you doing?
- 5:41Roman's a difficult interview. I'll I'll give him that.
- 5:43Like Roman kind of gets shy on camera, it seems like.
- 5:47But like I said, the best thing he got is, Hey, how's it going?
- 5:50Like, unless it's the beginning of the interview or like the
- 5:55beginning of the video as a whole and then replace the sorry
- 5:58with the hey, how's it's going? Like, hey, new video.
- 6:01How's it the video I I don't like?
- 6:03I mean, you have to remember we're a minute and 18 in.
- 6:06Oh no. How many people just don't even
- 6:10give it more than two minutes after they watch a soundless
- 6:13intro? You're confused at why people
- 6:16are running by and then two quick interviews that give no
- 6:20value to what's happening, you know?
- 6:22What I would have done is I would have had like a bunch of
- 6:24those impact sound bites. The beginning it was like pow,
- 6:27pow, pow, pow, pow, pow and you just like filter through every
- 6:29athlete you know will be featured in here so far.
- 6:31You could have done Ibarra, Roman and Emily and you could
- 6:35and then people would at least know what they had coming for
- 6:37them. Right Front Load the front of
- 6:39the episode with. This is who's featured.
- 6:42Yeah, it's. Also reasonable to think that
- 6:44like you know, you are the guy at world fitness project, you
- 6:47have access to all the athletes like you should have like had
- 6:50the foresight to think I could probably do this with a video.
- 6:55Yeah, and you see Emily Rolfe here.
- 6:56What's your biggest My biggest question is, is your elbow OK
- 7:01now? Is she back?
- 7:02Is she ready to go? And let's see what what?
- 7:05He asks her. How?
- 7:07How is in your preparation leading into into the event?
- 7:11Yeah, better than the last one. So I'm feeling a bit better.
- 7:15Still on a bit of a recovery Rd. but from.
- 7:21From what? From what?
- 7:22You. You.
- 7:23Do like running so how do you feel about this this two mile
- 7:26run because it's not too short, but it's not too long either and
- 7:29you've historically been like one of the best runners in the
- 7:31field I. Yeah, it's 2 miles is a tough
- 7:35distance. Why?
- 7:37Why So? You'll see I.
- 7:40Would prefer it a little longer. But she's leading him and and
- 7:45like, yeah, just ask her a question about like, oh, it's so
- 7:48hard about two miles. And if anything, that's how it
- 7:51could have started. Like, she's an easy one to talk
- 7:53to. I've interviewed.
- 7:54She's easy. Exactly.
- 7:57It'll be fun. Are you the top of athlete who's
- 8:00going to go by by field or do you have like more like a pace
- 8:03you want to stick to? No watch, watch this.
- 8:06So I'm just going to run. Do what I feel.
- 8:09I'm going good getting ready for the event, one for the probably
- 8:15the most painful one on the weekend and then after this one
- 8:18we'll do the. How how do you feel about the
- 8:22the running? I feel good.
- 8:23Should be like a very good event for me.
- 8:26So a bit nervous for that, like mass start, but again, it's like
- 8:32nerves of the event one are always the highest and then as
- 8:36you finish event one, as we can progress this, you're a bit more
- 8:38chill. What?
- 8:40What's wrong with the mass start?
- 8:41Ask Luca what's wrong about a mass start?
- 8:43What? Are.
- 8:44You worried about like what's the most?
- 8:51Of 30 athletes. Math start of 30 athletes.
- 8:53It's a beautiful tree. I really like that tree clip.
- 8:56Next video, you're not going to say like, what do you like?
- 8:58It's an oak tree. I love oak trees.
- 9:01Yeah. Here's Zoe Bootay, OK, Bill's
- 9:06wife. Hey, good, good with the caption
- 9:09because I I would have had no idea.
- 9:11Yeah, yeah, I I saw this. I was like, who is this?
- 9:14Should I know? Was this a challenger athlete at
- 9:16first? But I had to look at the the
- 9:18caption. Had a feeling today.
- 9:21He's good. He woke up at 4:40, so still
- 9:27he's awake for a long time, ate some bagels with jam and two
- 9:36fantas. 4:40. What does he drink of Fanta at
- 9:404:40 AM? Yeah, because.
- 9:42His routine always 2 fantas. Let's go.
- 9:48He's a man of. 2 fantas. I mean, I I kind of like that.
- 9:52Yeah. Yeah, that's good so far.
- 9:54This is better than I expected. It started poor, but the Phantas
- 9:57thing is a good plug. Yeah, yeah.
- 10:00Tien, right? Like he knows what works for him
- 10:02and he tries to apply it. Right?
- 10:03Yeah. It's always the same as like
- 10:06schedule follows the schedule, all the competitions.
- 10:11He's a nerd, you know? I mean, I think that that gives
- 10:15an opportunity to follow Yellow around a little bit and find out
- 10:19like if he actually does that, I have a thing going with that.
- 10:21And Travis Beijing, like I think the most unique thing about
- 10:24Travis Beijing it amongst a bunch of stuff I suppose is that
- 10:29he has to have from a local 711 one specific Mountain Dew really
- 10:35he can't like stock him. He has to have one that he
- 10:37bought on that morning from the convenience store.
- 10:40Oh wow. And like that could be yellow
- 10:42host as equivalent. Oh, yeah.
- 10:44I mean, like that's something that, yeah, yeah, that's
- 10:47something where if everybody knew that he drank Fanta, Fanta,
- 10:51Fanta like that that people can relate to or or rally behind and
- 10:56think it's pretty cool. It's like it's Lydia Fish hat.
- 11:00It's like the it's the best thing that came out of this
- 11:02video so far, yeah. There you go.
- 11:05We're 2-3 minutes into it, so there you go.
- 11:07All right, we're outside. There's a nice Red Bull finish
- 11:11line. Yeah, well, hasn't been tested
- 11:12really. Because of our considerations,
- 11:29you do that again if this happens, because it'll keep
- 11:31happening. I'm sure like replay it just
- 11:33like go back couple seconds. All you got to do is cut the
- 11:36frame. Right there, right here, yeah.
- 11:41Well, it hasn't been tested, which was a big part of that.
- 11:43And then really because of the considerations for a shorter
- 11:47event and we originally had a longer event planned, well, we
- 11:51got to develop it as well. That's good like that.
- 11:53But just logistics wise, it made more sense to do this.
- 11:56And when we came out to the facility, it looked like we
- 11:59could create a really cool run course and I think we've done
- 12:02that. So that that was really it and
- 12:04and data collection, you know. Obviously as a, you're a former
- 12:07athlete as well. What?
- 12:10Do you think is the the key to this workout?
- 12:12It's not like a mile where you can go all out, but it's not
- 12:14like a 5K where you can pace yourself.
- 12:16There's a lot of, there's a couple ways to do this right.
- 12:19You know, people could run their race, stick to a hard pace and
- 12:23trust that that will give them the result that they want.
- 12:25You can see guys that come out fast and then try to hold on,
- 12:29and then you could see guys come out slow and speed up throughout
- 12:33the event. So what is he talking about?
- 12:35Are you able to follow like that?
- 12:37He asked him something about him being an athlete.
- 12:39Yeah. And how would how would you run
- 12:40this? And he goes, well, you can do it
- 12:42three ways. You can kind of just be
- 12:44consistent. You can go out fast and slow
- 12:46down or you can go slow and you can speed up.
- 12:48It's usually how it works so. You figure you have a better
- 12:55question for the event director, right?
- 12:57Director of sport? Well, the.
- 12:58Problem is, they asked, like he just admitted that they just
- 13:02kind of picked this because it was a decent distance.
- 13:05They don't want to be outside too much, didn't want to go
- 13:08inside outside. So it's like, yeah, we'll settle
- 13:11with two miles. Can you imagine if Jr. said that
- 13:15like I just picked this work out 'cause it kind of fit within how
- 13:18hot it is outside? Didn't.
- 13:22I was gonna, I was about to say didn't.
- 13:23Isn't that kind of how they decided the capital?
- 13:25Like Bosnian just kind of saw that it was possible and then
- 13:28they made it happen at Madison or no?
- 13:32I mean, maybe, but it I mean you, you live with what the
- 13:35geography you have, but you have a better answer of like it was
- 13:38pretty cool to finish on the steps of the Capitol right now,
- 13:42whatever that whatever that mileage turns out to be.
- 13:45You can make a choice of what this workout is, right?
- 13:50Like, oh, we tested the, the 800 meters or what is it, 600 meter
- 13:55intervals. Last time in Indianapolis, we're
- 13:58going to do 2 mil aisles this time, like a different energy,
- 14:01energy domain just to run something different than last
- 14:04year or last last event. Like give some context of why
- 14:09you're actually making these workouts versus it was hot.
- 14:13We didn't want to run too far. I mean, at least there's a
- 14:16reason. It's not a good reason.
- 14:19It's fair. I think one of my favorite
- 14:21things I've seen about the two mile run came from Jenny where
- 14:24she was clipping Tommy Marquez talking about how event one of
- 14:28the CrossFit Games is the way to sell tickets on Talking with
- 14:31Fitness. Tommy said that and then she
- 14:33topped up this two mile event at World Fitness Project and he's
- 14:37like, this is a great event. Yes.
- 14:42All right. Let's see, 4 1/2 minutes in.
- 14:45Here we go. We'll see.
- 14:47I don't know what the best result will be, but I'm pretty
- 14:50confident that a lot of these athletes are going to be able to
- 14:53put down pretty fast time. How did?
- 15:03That go Really. Good.
- 15:07I, I'd, I'd, I like Carl. It's Carlos, right?
- 15:10Who's? Running with the yeah.
- 15:13And I didn't have it with him in particular, but I don't know why
- 15:17at the World Fitness project in specific, all I see are people
- 15:22with dimbles running around like this.
- 15:28Like it's, it's every fourth shot seemingly that the, the,
- 15:32the, and I don't really see much of it.
- 15:34I mean, we watched the documentary and there there
- 15:36wasn't that much of the footage you use.
- 15:38It was all Lauren Smith. So if you're going to catch all
- 15:41of it, you got to like. Use it.
- 15:43Yeah, use it. But.
- 15:44You're watching the stream and every not on the stream you see
- 15:47everyone. Well, I.
- 15:49Think I think Carlos was working with Buttery Bros.
- 15:52I bet you'll see it in the Buttery Bros piece of it.
- 15:57What what I hate. Carlos at all?
- 15:59It's just like maybe the broadcast team, yeah.
- 16:02What I hate about this is it was this was a clip about Amy
- 16:05Kringle running running and then you cut to Emma Lawson.
- 16:10I know Emma was second behind her but show a clip of Emma
- 16:15running and then go to Emma. Damn good.
- 16:18Great catch. No, not, not just you.
- 16:21Yeah. Yeah, I, Amy and I were pushing
- 16:26in the front for a while. I had no idea where people
- 16:29behind us were. I tried to round the corner,
- 16:32kind of see how close we were. But yeah, I was trying to keep
- 16:37up to her. Ultimately she had the she had
- 16:40the final kick. I did, but I was really happy
- 16:43with that. You.
- 16:44You. Said in the in the last video
- 16:46with the Hebert with the Hebert Mars that like in the past
- 16:49couple of months she found like different ways to train
- 16:51endurance, not just like 1 speed, right.
- 16:54Yeah. Do you feel like it really
- 16:55helped today to, like, know that?
- 16:57Yeah. I think being able to train
- 17:00longer distance makes like something like that feel really
- 17:03short. So I mean mentally it's always
- 17:05better, but then you know, going for longer durations and pushing
- 17:09shakes definitely makes your body used to that kind of
- 17:13stimulus. So when I have longer than in
- 17:16competition and my. Body the dude.
- 17:19The dude is just like 3 seconds behind in his own head, meaning
- 17:24he he had he he he, he's way ahead but he's also way behind
- 17:28because he has the thought while talking to Emma.
- 17:30He's referencing the unbroken video, Unbreakable video that
- 17:33they put together and he asked her in real time, gets an answer
- 17:36from her. All he had to do was cut that
- 17:39clip and insert it here so that everyone knows what he's talking
- 17:43about so you don't hear him rumbling over his own words
- 17:45about a question poorly asked. Right.
- 17:48And and put a link up there. Put a link up there.
- 17:49And that's like to the to that documentary.
- 17:52Yeah, I mean, that wasn't bad. It was just probably executed.
- 17:56He's like right there. He's close.
- 17:58Almost. Initially just.
- 18:01Now we go to Andy Kringle's coach that.
- 18:05That we need to work on what are those specifically and really
- 18:09tackle and it it's it was weightlifting and certain
- 18:14gymnastics like ring muscle ups and stuff like that.
- 18:16So we attacked them like 3 * a week.
- 18:18So a lot of that, a lot of it I think so was down to her
- 18:22mentality actually believing that she belongs to be with
- 18:26these girls. And once that kind of that penny
- 18:29drops, we saw a massive increase in her rooms.
- 18:32Like she knew that she had it there.
- 18:34Like, I can't hear a word. It's like what you said.
- 18:40Will gave all these explanations, but I couldn't
- 18:42focus on anything other than him smacking on his gum, as the
- 18:45camera points out. And now all I can think is like,
- 18:49damn, is there anything in his nose?
- 18:52And I and, and my other thought is I wonder what size hat he
- 18:56wears. It looks like it's a little bit
- 18:58too big. I can fit a couple of fingers
- 18:59inside that hat. I've never had that thought
- 19:01before. I'm sure.
- 19:04He's saying good stuff, but I missed all of it.
- 19:08Yeah, he's talking about Amy and how how she's gotten better and
- 19:13more confident, I guess over the last year.
- 19:15OK, well, you, you can pay something.
- 19:17I need you that she's kind of closed the gap on and we did
- 19:21that. And then it was like, can you
- 19:24mentally kind of, do you believe that you deserve to be there?
- 19:29And that took a while to get, But as soon as she's got that,
- 19:31it's kind of just added another 1015% to a performance and it's
- 19:34quick. All right?
- 19:39You just did what you have to do.
- 19:41Stick to the front and then kick one at the end.
- 19:49I would have probably tried to talk to Amy a little more.
- 19:52Yeah, we want to. We want to hear from Amy.
- 19:54You see that? Oh Ricky, Ricky Tree in the
- 19:58corner. Kick one at the end.
- 20:01What does she even say here? Nothing.
- 20:04Ricky. Rick up.
- 20:04Oh no, he was going to work at yellow.
- 20:10Come with me at that pace. But I did.
- 20:11So just you went to Ricky, get ready for the Sprint at the end.
- 20:17What? Are you guys holding?
- 20:20325 nice about the first line, I don't know, half a K, maybe 800
- 20:29meters, but like straight minutes past 3:00 and 5:00.
- 20:34But I felt good, so I just kept going.
- 20:36That's what crossed his holiday. I like that not too.
- 20:38Bad, Not bad, not bad. That was good.
- 20:40Good, good. Duration.
- 20:42Talking about the run, I can't be.
- 20:43I can't say anything much about that.
- 20:45It was good. It was good.
- 20:46I like that part. Yeah.
- 20:49About finding that blend finished across all domains.
- 20:53You you recently became a dad. It did.
- 20:55How has that changed your, your, your perspective on on life and
- 20:58on training and competing and so on?
- 21:00Yeah. I mean, being a dad, I've
- 21:02already had a family in Joanne and Max and my parents and
- 21:05sister and stuff like that. But having a family that you've
- 21:08built, you know, like a child that is you and your wife
- 21:12combined, just makes life feel like it has a little bit deeper
- 21:16purpose, makes this stuff feel I'm awake.
- 21:21It's a child taking. Me, I would ask Noah, why are
- 21:27you wearing that nose strip? What's that do for you?
- 21:29Do you actually notice a difference?
- 21:30I would. I would say where's your baby?
- 21:33Yeah, where? Where is Joanna and the baby?
- 21:35They back at home. Where is your baby?
- 21:36Not how. How is how is life different as
- 21:39a father? I mean, it's not like you really
- 21:41can't even tell at this point, right?
- 21:42It's been alive for how many months?
- 21:44How old is Noah's baby? A month maybe, yeah.
- 21:47Where is it? Where's, where is the baby,
- 21:50right? Not less important.
- 21:54Obviously, I'm, I'm coming out here to do the best that I can.
- 21:57I love what I get to do. But I know that no matter what
- 22:00happens out here, the most important thing is that I get to
- 22:03go back home to my beautiful family.
- 22:04And so that helps calm the nerves for me on a competition
- 22:08weekend. Yeah, we're on the right side.
- 22:17That is going to be your second spot, your feet up.
- 22:19Dancing and walk right here. There's going.
- 22:23To be quick transitions, jogging back and forth, We're just 90
- 22:27seconds in. This this.
- 22:36Is so bad when I find out that he's got like cerebral palsy or
- 22:40something. This was the exact moment that I
- 22:42said I need, I need to get you on the show that.
- 22:44Right there. This this this.
- 22:47And show what was it? Was it, was it the gimbal people
- 22:52and the people in the crowd? It's the best it.
- 22:54Was the workout montage without music?
- 22:57So it's the actual like audio of each clip and it just like cuts,
- 23:02cuts, cuts. And I didn't know what I was
- 23:03watching. I come to find out it's the
- 23:05teams. There's Mr. Alshama down there.
- 23:08I I. Didn't absolutely hate the
- 23:10shots, I just wish he took more of them at things that mattered.
- 23:15You know, 'cause like you said, it's the teams and we have no
- 23:18idea. For all I know they don't have
- 23:20team competition there. Did would did they broadcast any
- 23:23of that? They.
- 23:24Did I think they did? I think so maybe maybe I'm
- 23:29wrong. I I I know they had it on at
- 23:30least one jers. And elites are pros they.
- 23:33The pros and the challengers and then they they showed like at
- 23:36least one workout of the elite teams elite not not miss Arizona
- 23:43or the intermediate team, just the teams of four.
- 23:49So yeah, it all these cuts and the the sound just kind of just
- 23:52drove me crazy of the. Weekend here. 4 is after.
- 24:05Who's the backup, Lawrence? Oh yes, yes, make sure you show
- 24:09the person holding the camera, because everyone needs to know
- 24:12who that person is. Who's she?
- 24:13The chick with the microphone. It's I don't know her.
- 24:16Her name's her Instagram name is one leg to stand on.
- 24:19She's like the adaptive athlete Amy.
- 24:21Oh, Amy Bream. I think maybe sweet.
- 24:24Yeah, she's from Nashville. She goes to Trivium where Will
- 24:29and Brooke and all them answers. Why she's there then?
- 24:33There you go. Look at this starting.
- 24:41The weekend. Why?
- 24:44Could you imagine that like a Major League Baseball game?
- 24:48Sammy's coach is in the box. It's a home run.
- 24:51At the end of the time, I hold the camera right.
- 24:57There's the media team. Thank you.
- 24:59With your fresh. Hillary's video interviewing
- 25:04helpless people in Albany was better than this.
- 25:06I think that people like, I don't know how much video this
- 25:09man has taken, but I have 4 hours of footage of homeless
- 25:15people. And how much did anybody see?
- 25:18You didn't see 4 hours I I don't think.
- 25:22Right. Yeah.
- 25:24So yeah, there's a camera person doing camera person things.
- 25:27Yeah. And.
- 25:28I think starting the weekend, you obviously want the first one
- 25:30to go really well because I think that builds momentum for
- 25:32the rest of it. I think on the team side you
- 25:35never. Really know who's going to be
- 25:36here. Did you guys get in the way
- 25:37during your workout like that? That looks like it.
- 25:40Like, yeah. Especially if you were doing
- 25:42cleans or something. They were doing thrusters,
- 25:45right? We saw Chama doing thrusters.
- 25:47Unless it's a different workout. Like how did that thing make it
- 25:50out in one piece? Are those real pearls?
- 25:51Aren't those expensive? I don't know, I have to ask
- 25:54Chandler Barry wants to see the whole 4 hours of homeless video.
- 26:00Just a straight shot. Yeah, OK, I I got it.
- 26:05So we're in here. And so it's always kind of a
- 26:08surprise when you show up and there are lots of good teams
- 26:10here. So like I said, just getting a
- 26:12little bit of that momentum and feeling like the team is ready
- 26:16to go. We've all never worked out
- 26:17together. Josh and I were on a team
- 26:19together two years ago. I met Kira a few weeks ago, a
- 26:21trading think tank. I've known Roldan for a few
- 26:23years now, but we've never literally.
- 26:25Today was the first time we all met each other.
- 26:27That's like Rathwell and Spiegel.
- 26:29I thought, I thought Roldan and and Jesse went to Invictus.
- 26:34I did too. Did she say they never worked
- 26:36out together? They just met.
- 26:37He just, she just met Roldan for the first time I think.
- 26:40What is going on in Invictus? I don't know, but that's why
- 26:43that Rathwell interview is so good.
- 26:46Yeah. Does anyone, does anybody
- 26:48understand that thing? On the Box Office podcast?
- 26:51She says I never work out with Spiegel.
- 26:54I don't know. She says I don't hang out with
- 26:56Spiegel. I don't know.
- 26:57And then she says I got to run slow because Spiegel's slow.
- 27:00It's so good. It's.
- 27:03My, it's my favorite interview of the weekend.
- 27:06Yeah. All right.
- 27:10In person so to get a win 3 hours after meeting each other
- 27:13is it feels good. Hopefully it all gets better
- 27:16from here. She was on the team with Al
- 27:18Shalma, right? No, that was.
- 27:22Devin Kim. And who's the other chick on the
- 27:26Invictus team? Brittany Weiss.
- 27:27Brittany. OK, but she was on the other
- 27:28team that was went to the games last year.
- 27:30Yeah. And rolled on works out
- 27:32Invictus, as far as I know. That's interesting, yeah.
- 27:35So 3 out of the four, all in San Diego and Invictus, but this.
- 27:38Is a good clip because now we know that Knifer is coaching
- 27:41Danielle here as well. Yeah, I thought this was good.
- 27:43And you can actually see that he's giving her some advice on
- 27:47how to hold this. I think with Emma, it's feelings
- 27:59don't get so. Much.
- 28:01Yeah, partner. Yeah, partner.
- 28:05Husband, I think. I think.
- 28:06It's what you say if you don't know if they're engaged or
- 28:08married. Just got it, partner.
- 28:11I think he's also her coach. Kind of he's she's proven Emma's
- 28:17with proven. So I don't know.
- 28:18She has a proven coach. I don't know who that is, but
- 28:23he's definitely helping in some way.
- 28:26So I. Just want to this is the
- 28:30workout. What's that you miss spins that
- 28:32she doesn't like the audio, but it's there's just a lot of
- 28:34background shatter. I get it, yeah.
- 28:38Is that is that the mic issue though?
- 28:40Like a shotgun mic would help clean some of that up I would
- 28:42think. Yes, it would.
- 28:43I'd be curious to type. He's got.
- 28:45There's also in. I mean, at least in Final Cut
- 28:47there's a button that'll do a pretty good job of cutting out
- 28:49the background noise. Sometimes it works right.
- 28:53Yeah, sometimes it gets wonky, but.
- 28:56Movements is what I need to focus on to execute.
- 28:59That's it. It's not so much if I like it or
- 29:01dislike it, it's more about like what job she needs to do.
- 29:04Redemption from tour stop one where she was unable to show her
- 29:09fitness and events that were frankly by a very strong flood
- 29:12due to her injury. And so my expectation is taking
- 29:17the taking that loss and using it to the fullest so that we see
- 29:23the full Emma outlaw on the floor this weekend.
- 29:26So at this point, this is the this is the point in the
- 29:27interview where you're talking to him.
- 29:29Mary should have this in the back of his head.
- 29:31He goes, all right, I know I talked to David for a little
- 29:33bit. I'm going to get at least a
- 29:35couple of shots of Emma doing something on the floor.
- 29:39So I can, you know, doing well while while he's talking about
- 29:43her just. To give us.
- 29:44Something else to talk look at other than his face for 50
- 29:47seconds, which isn't. There's nothing wrong with his
- 29:50face, it's just boring, Yeah. If that doesn't fire you up, I
- 29:55don't know what. Oh, there she is.
- 29:57She's been over there the whole time.
- 29:59Maybe it's maybe it's just because I have the headphones.
- 30:02Yeah, she's right there. Maybe it's just me, but in my
- 30:05headphones the audio is going back and forth.
- 30:08Oh no. Yeah, yeah.
- 30:12There is, I do, I have that mic in here.
- 30:16There's a mic. I got no idea where it is at the
- 30:26moment, but there is a mic with a certain feature that really
- 30:30it's why Missus Spin hates it so much because of exactly what
- 30:34you're saying it's. Also probably what is wrong with
- 30:36the audio on the stream that sounds like they get that fixed,
- 30:39but yeah, so yeah, that it's just like it's really quick back
- 30:43and forth, like just kind of a weird flutter.
- 30:47Has has there been any interviews with Emma where they
- 30:50ask her how she's feeling after not having done anything up to
- 30:54this point in the year outside of like are you feeling fresh?
- 30:57Could have been at least a a minimal question where people
- 31:00can read into it a little bit. How you feeling feeling.
- 31:03I mean, you're in a better. Spot than a lot of the athletes.
- 31:05Because you didn't compete last month.
- 31:07Yeah, I don't know. I've not heard, I've not seen
- 31:09anything on that one. It's a good question.
- 31:12Bigger than Hitler. She's jacked.
- 31:13She's stupid jacked. Yeah.
- 31:18Let's see. That went to plant.
- 31:35It worked exactly like I expected to.
- 31:38I went faster than practice. My swords were faster and
- 31:42ordered to see, but I was like heading to failure when they can
- 31:47see push him. So that was a little scary, but
- 31:51I'm not there. Yeah cool.
- 31:53I was running that red line little sweeter than look.
- 31:56I wanted to it was OK. I liked it better in practice.
- 31:59You know I liked it didn't work out the round.
- 32:02You should see why I finished on the round here.
- 32:04I thought it was not you like it's up to it's.
- 32:08Like I did this, I what? What did?
- 32:16He say, you know, like 3 minutes ago you said go show a clip of
- 32:19Emma working out. So if you watch the live stream
- 32:23of the run, Andrea Solberg is finishing and she is like
- 32:26literally she's running like her arms are just kind of like
- 32:29swinging like crazy. Perfect time to throw a clip in
- 32:33there of the live stream like a 5 second clip like she is
- 32:38stumbling to the finish doing everything she can.
- 32:40I mean she does not look graceful at all and that's what
- 32:43they're talking about. But I have if you didn't watch,
- 32:45you have no idea what they're talking about.
- 32:47Which. He probably didn't, right?
- 32:51There's a good chance that we watched much more of the live
- 32:54stream than anybody at that competition.
- 32:58Yes, but he was also there at the finish line or.
- 33:02He just saw it. Right.
- 33:05Like, oh, she said this. I, I should go back and see if
- 33:07we caught it anywhere. Does anybody have a clip?
- 33:10We, I mean, there's 60 people on their media team.
- 33:13Somebody has the clip of her finishing. 60 that's.
- 33:17What Jackson said. Dude, where is it?
- 33:23What that clip? No 6060 people's worth of media.
- 33:28How many people you got on your media team?
- 33:31One I know no there and then I saw, I can't remember where I
- 33:38saw maybe it was on World Fitness projects Instagram story
- 33:41that today or somebody had it. It was like a room of just
- 33:44people, just media people just everywhere.
- 33:48So no, I put a clip in there last in the last week of Jackson
- 33:54saying that there were 60 people because I think it was pulling
- 33:56from coffee pots and wads kind of mashing that up.
- 34:00So you. Know, I I was just on that other
- 34:03stream before this with Brian and PC.
- 34:05Oh yeah, in there. I tried to let him know exactly
- 34:08what we're talking about, which is I don't understand the season
- 34:14I and I, I follow all of this stuff pretty as close as I can
- 34:18right. And if I don't understand it,
- 34:20how do you expect Alexis to understand it?
- 34:22Who works 15 hours a day in her skin care studio.
- 34:26She's like, why do they keep on talking to Copenhagen?
- 34:28She literally says it to me like, why do they keep on
- 34:30talking about Copenhagen? I'm like, well, because they got
- 34:31to go there and then she's like, why?
- 34:34And I go, well, that's like where the finals are.
- 34:36She goes like the CrossFit Games.
- 34:37And I go, it's like their version of that, but they got to
- 34:39get points at the other ones. And she's like, what are the
- 34:41other ones? And I got to keep on like adding
- 34:44to the story. And I don't even know it that
- 34:45well. And at the end of it, she's I
- 34:47just lost her, right? She's gone and she's gone.
- 34:50She's already doing something else again.
- 34:52And every single time they're like anyone who follows a Tor
- 34:56sport understands it. And I'm like, I'm trying to
- 34:59help. And you have 60 media people who
- 35:02are probably in a similar situation to me who are just
- 35:05like, what do we make content on if we don't know what we're
- 35:08doing? They don't know what knows
- 35:09what's going on well. That's The thing is like there's
- 35:11two races like there's the actual competition, but then
- 35:14there's this race within a race of the challengers and I I
- 35:19couldn't like I knew that it was very it wasn't very going to be
- 35:23like it's very anti climatic of who could actually qualify, but
- 35:29I didn't I didn't know the story throughout and I my guess is
- 35:32many people did not know like who missed out.
- 35:37So my. Favorite part was Darren Forrest
- 35:39pitching to Seth Page. He goes, so it's a very
- 35:41interesting race to Copenhagen. That's like, actually, no, it's
- 35:44not. No one has a chance in hell of
- 35:47making it to Copenhagen. Why did you even ask me that
- 35:49question? And Darren was like, I don't do
- 35:51any research. So I I just say what's on the
- 35:53prompter, man, right? Yeah, they're still learning.
- 35:58All right, here we go. 3 more minutes.
- 35:59Wait a second. Stop.
- 36:00Yeah. No, my legs stop.
- 36:01You, everybody. Was still here.
- 36:15Nice. And and and here with with that
- 36:19clip and and you know how you're you're getting driven insane by
- 36:22these various clips and they had that was probably 1.1 second
- 36:26clip of Victor Hofferwitz screaming in the background just
- 36:29like take the audio from one of these other clips.
- 36:32I know it has to be there. There's no way that that was
- 36:35that and that theory of a clip where Miss Spin isn't here with
- 36:39her headphones on like you watching and she just like it.
- 36:41I'm scared screaming picture offer clip like if you want to
- 36:44put it in there just like. Fix.
- 36:47The audio. Right, I know Sivan has plenty
- 36:51of, you know, experience doing this, but he always is very
- 36:55clear and I think was it will that edited last time Will and
- 36:58audio right. Well, just the whole the whole
- 37:00behind the scenes, right, like Will and Rios like edit that
- 37:05they're very clear of like, hey, we're entering event 2.
- 37:08Here's a clip of what's going on.
- 37:10Like here's some montage and then we're going to go capture
- 37:13the behind the scenes of it. This just like cuts to before
- 37:17the FISA coffee doing box jump overs.
- 37:20Yeah, I don't know what this is. This is.
- 37:21I don't know what this is. And so I, it's, it's hard to
- 37:24follow. If you didn't watch this, you
- 37:26have no idea what what what day it is.
- 37:28That is a phenomenal point spin. I don't know what's going on.
- 37:32I, I kind of got lost in it. I feel like I every time I watch
- 37:35this, I feel like I'm brainwashed.
- 37:38I I thought it was the audio but I just don't know what dimension
- 37:40I'm in there yet. How'd you feel about that event?
- 37:56It seemed like a oh, that's the same guy.
- 37:58It was a lot. It was hell.
- 37:59It's different. That's that's Mr. Quant, No.
- 38:01No, no, that's a blonde Jack dude.
- 38:02It's the same guy. Oh, same person.
- 38:05Yeah, yeah, sure. Yeah.
- 38:08But it was for me. I mean you probably hear from a
- 38:11decent mad people against. It was definitely a weakness and
- 38:13has been for years. So really the whole workout was
- 38:16managing them. So like when I'm doing Burby
- 38:20boxing ball versus like, wow, my arm's already tired.
- 38:23So you got it. I mean, the whole workout for me
- 38:25is managing the handset push ups, made sure I wasn't too
- 38:27messed up going to every round. But overall it's really bad.
- 38:32But it was good. What place did quant finish that
- 38:35at work out? I don't know.
- 38:39I I don't know. Either I I bet that none of them
- 38:42know. Just put that in there.
- 38:45Two questions. Yes, just.
- 38:46Put that in there. 21st place event 2 is.
- 38:48That right? Oh yeah, you don't know I.
- 38:50Have no clue. There's audio.
- 38:53It's, well, I mean, I grind it, all of it.
- 38:59They watched nothing left. You know, Austin did cross it
- 39:05like the rest of us for 3-4 years for fun and was really
- 39:08really good. But not what did he say about
- 39:10Jared? Go back to the beginning of his
- 39:12clip. Austin Hatfield's manager.
- 39:17Nice. OK, OK, yeah.
- 39:19Agent, manager, Friend, Workout partner.
- 39:23Yeah. For 3-4 years for fun and was
- 39:26really really good, but not good enough to just like make it here
- 39:30like without trying. And then he, I think two years
- 39:33ago, missing out on the games for being close was like that
- 39:38Switch for him to be like, oh, shoot, I'm barely, not barely.
- 39:41But I'm not giving this my all. What if I did?
- 39:43So this has kind of been the result of that over the past.
- 39:45I think he talking about Austin. Yeah, yeah.
- 39:49Did he say that that I missed the part where he said he's
- 39:51talking about Austin or we were supposed to assume he's talking
- 39:53about Austin because he's his manager?
- 39:56Correct. Got it.
- 39:58OK, who? Who the?
- 40:02That was Austin Hatfield. I don't know.
- 40:06Imagine, imagine like YouTube feeds you this video and somehow
- 40:10by the grace of God you've made it 12 1/2 minutes into this and
- 40:13the first time you're ever seeing it is like, all right
- 40:15manager, who the fuck is this you're talking?
- 40:20About it's. Yeah.
- 40:20I'm not sure that's why Annie was so confused.
- 40:24Oh geez, I'm a lot smarter in terms of like, knowing when to
- 40:30push, when to pull back, how to pace the right decisions, to
- 40:33make the rules, standards, like some of that stuff that comes
- 40:36with a little bit of experience. These came leaps and bounds
- 40:39since then, no. Keep in mind we've not seen
- 40:42Austin in one second of this whole 12 minute video.
- 40:46That's why it's. Insane dude.
- 40:52Not one second. Oh God, it's sometimes I don't
- 40:58know whether it makes me insane, but I, I unpack myself to what I
- 41:03believe is a kindergartner as I sit back and I review my stuff
- 41:06and I'm like, this is too, too intense.
- 41:08Like no one's going to understand.
- 41:10Or I'll have a like, what I, what I do with Alexis is I'll
- 41:13sit her down. I'll make sure nothing in the
- 41:15world is going on and I'll have her watch one of my videos and
- 41:17I'll watch her watch my video. And if there's any like a, a
- 41:20deviation in her, like watching it, I'm like, what was boring?
- 41:24Like, what makes you understand? Right.
- 41:27Yeah. And basically I'm blessed by the
- 41:29fact that she just works 15 hours a day, so she can't
- 41:31comprehend anything, right? And I and I go watch it.
- 41:35I mean, the hard part is we know who Jared is.
- 41:39Correct. Most people do not know who
- 41:42Jared is. Oh, there was a three second or
- 41:45two second thing where it says he's the manager.
- 41:48Right. And then it's just like, I
- 41:49don't, But who's Austin? It's more important question but
- 41:55like 2 years or even last year's games to this year's games.
- 41:58He just knows how to play the game much better.
- 42:00How far is your job? Well.
- 42:01There he is. Hey, how's your day been so far?
- 42:04That's pretty good. Start off the 9th place, which
- 42:08is not the best for me. I don't like creation anything
- 42:11but like the third, so I had to come back out.
- 42:15Finish the day with the second place I think, and you can
- 42:20momentum rolling in tomorrow. Jared was saying that in the
- 42:23past couple of years you've got a lot of experience, you've got
- 42:25a much smarter as an athlete. Yeah, I've learned how to pace a
- 42:28little bit better, learned how to run my own race.
- 42:31Don't get caught up in other people's races.
- 42:33You're only as fit as you're going to be that day.
- 42:35So if it's a race towards the end then race, but throughout
- 42:39the workout run your own race. And we saw a lot of camaraderie
- 42:43with Roman. You guys also trained together
- 42:45at Mayhem? Yeah.
- 42:46We've we got here Monday in Mesa.
- 42:48We spent the whole week together.
- 42:50We've been trying to get a little bit of mayhem.
- 42:52So yeah, we have. We have some fun here and there.
- 42:55Awesome. What do you do?
- 42:56Look. Forward to seeing more of you.
- 42:59Like audio, the audio is jumping back and forth really the whole
- 43:03time. The.
- 43:04Whole time, every time that Marius would talk.
- 43:06It would go to the one. Side ping.
- 43:08It would ping back and forth. There's own that that's I I
- 43:12think I saw Ortega say the sort of microphone he's got there is
- 43:15a switch on that that will turn that off or in post production
- 43:19you can change it just. Yeah, turn it to Mono.
- 43:23Yes, dual mono. Also, that whole interview could
- 43:27have just been, I got here with Roman, I got 9th and then he
- 43:31could have asked what did you guys do?
- 43:33Like what have you and Roman been up to?
- 43:35Like that's the only thing that's interesting.
- 43:37I don't care about your 9th. I don't care about the
- 43:39interaction with your manager. I don't think many people do.
- 43:43Sorry Barry, but no one pays the big bucks to watch you talk
- 43:48about your guy. We just want to hear what your
- 43:50guy does with Roman Cooper. 'S always in the in these
- 43:52documentaries though. Is he in in the?
- 43:58No, he's in, he's in like all the the DB ones and.
- 44:01He was in the movie quite a bit. He's been in a few other ones.
- 44:06So I, I think, I think there's room for them in like an hour,
- 44:10maybe for 15 to 20 seconds. That's fair.
- 44:14With with like the entire time, you're making sure it's very
- 44:17clear that that's who that is, the agent who has to say nice
- 44:20things about their athlete. Yeah, all right.
- 44:24We got 10 seconds left so I hope this goes out with a bang in.
- 44:28The weekend and good luck. Thank you.
- 44:33Did you know that that was going to happen?
- 44:40There it is. They have.
- 44:43They have, and I don't know who put together the specific piece
- 44:47of the documentary where there's like a, a camera grab feature in
- 44:51FISA Gaffi with illuminated light around her silhouette.
- 44:55Like that's how I would have introed and outroed every one of
- 44:58these videos. Like while it would be stupid
- 45:01cheesy, it's it's, it's something different, it's
- 45:04better. So the. 4th 1.
- 45:08That was. That was episode 3 right here on
- 45:11the left. Well, I.
- 45:12Haven't seen four either. SO4.
- 45:14Yeah, worth a watch. Is is it anywhere near as bad?
- 45:19The intro is way better. OK, it has music and I.
- 45:23Would give that 1A if if I give the documentary like a a 2.2 out
- 45:27of 10 which is damn low. Like I don't know how I could
- 45:31rank anything that low. I I'd give this thing we just
- 45:34watched like a three-point, like an upper 3 point, like it's
- 45:41upper three, like a 3.7. Yeah, it's, it's better than the
- 45:44documentary. So maybe just as it wasn't so
- 45:47long, I think it had to watch it.
- 45:51Yeah, there's Behind the Scenes down here, Episode 1-6 days ago
- 45:55and then episode 2 when they're checking in, and then we just
- 46:00watched episode 3 on Friday. Saturdays is episode 4.
- 46:04I will say if you're looking for some GHD drama, you're not going
- 46:08to get any SO. They don't talk about it at all,
- 46:12no. No, it it never happened.
- 46:14Which? Which which interview was good
- 46:15Misses Ben? Which one the?
- 46:19The Hatfield one. Yeah, that was that was one of
- 46:21the better ones. So there you go.
- 46:26That was, you know. Media that ended quickly.
- 46:28Dude, did you see Scott got in a fight with Patrick Clark the
- 46:31other day? Yeah, yeah, like one of his
- 46:34lunchtime shows. Yeah, he called him a
- 46:36millennial, and Scott just went nuclear on him.
- 46:39It was pretty good. I was driving back and I was
- 46:43like, damn, that's good. There he is.
- 46:45Hey, look over there. Who?
- 46:47Won I. Don't know who won.
- 46:49It was only Saturday, only Friday.
- 46:51Doesn't matter. Laura won so to make another
- 46:54one. Yeah.
- 46:57It it. It is nuts to me to think that
- 47:00they don't watch stuff like the stuff we just put out.
- 47:03It'd be great. I would love if somebody made
- 47:05one of these of mine, I'd sit there.
- 47:07I'd be like, here's what you can do.
- 47:09You watch it and you're like, I did this on purpose for this
- 47:12reason. Never mind Andrew, like I don't
- 47:15care what you have to say because I there's a reason that
- 47:18I leave these in here at the last second.
- 47:20I do this for this reason. But but maybe the dudes can sit
- 47:24there and watch you. Like, damn, he's right.
- 47:26I should cut those out. Wasn't as bad as the one that
- 47:30you the the other documentary was like every single time it
- 47:33was. If you go to the first one, it's
- 47:35a lot of the stuff in the gym, Basically every couple of
- 47:39seconds of the stuff in the gym. I mean, that's what.
- 47:41When I've done like the interviews at Watapalooza, like
- 47:43you have to feel uncomfortable holding your camera there for
- 47:46just a split second longer so you don't cut them off and you
- 47:50can trim it where you need to and it takes getting used to,
- 47:54but like you have to do it. So there you go.
- 47:59I wonder what Sevon thinks about that.
- 48:01I I could honestly see Sevon being on here to be like this is
- 48:03so great. I don't know why I I can see him
- 48:09having liked that and the whole time I'd have to argue with him,
- 48:12but it's. It's not great.
- 48:17I mean, he, he, he, he would feel, he, he, he would not have
- 48:21as much critique about filming up their nose.
- 48:25Or overexposing it. Or not having the ambience.
- 48:28Like, up here to try to get even with their head.
- 48:30So it's, you know, it's a little unfair.
- 48:33But yeah, he would be too upset about that one.
- 48:36Of the things that drove me nuts about, like people who try to
- 48:39film too hard for the longest time was the grayscale.
- 48:42It was just in, they tried to shoot in the log and it almost
- 48:44every time it just wasn't done a color corrected properly.
- 48:48So it's kind of Gray. Yeah, I I guess I could say that
- 48:52that didn't seem Gray, which is good.
- 48:54No, I think the coloring is good.
- 48:55Yeah, I think it was better. So yeah, there you go.
- 49:00Cool Hiller. Thank you.
- 49:03Hopefully World Fitness project take some take some of this and
- 49:07and makes it better. No.
- 49:11No, no. OK, All right.
- 49:13Fair enough. All right.
- 49:16Tonight, same time as always, 6:30 central.
- 49:20John, Tyler and I will be back for the spin.
- 49:24There is a new mountain so. Do they take into account this
- 49:28event? The under score John?
- 49:31John will have to tell us I have all the graphics, but I'll let
- 49:36him let him let him tell you how, how it was made so
- 49:40surprises. I will leave it at that.
- 49:46So should be should be good. Other than that, thank.
- 49:51When's your next video coming out?
- 49:54What is today? Friday.
- 49:56Friday. OK, yes, thank you for that.
