0:31
what is going on everybody
0:33
welcome to a spicy cajun
0:35
wednesday with my boy cory
0:38
we're here live talking
0:41
about the world of
0:43
entertainment sports
0:45
crossfit all that stuff
0:48
I've been in the doldrums
0:50
man watching my uh my
0:54
pittsburgh pirates win one
0:56
game so far this season it
0:58
has been atrocious
1:01
Didn't the season just start?
1:03
Oh yeah.
1:04
Yeah.
1:05
I mean,
1:05
how many games could they have
1:06
played at this point where
1:07
it's like a problem that
1:08
they only won one?
1:10
I don't know.
1:11
They're playing the Yankees
1:12
this weekend and they're torpedo bats.
1:13
And so not looking at outlet
1:16
let for the weekend or that look,
1:18
I need to know what a torpedo bat is.
1:21
Cause I heard that certain
1:22
might say something about
1:23
it on the radio on the way
1:24
into work this morning.
1:26
And I was like, I don't,
1:29
I don't follow baseball near
1:30
enough to know what a
1:32
torpedo bat even might be.
1:34
It sounds like something
1:35
they would have on a submarine.
1:38
So I'll explain it to you,
1:41
but it's going to be a lot
1:42
of talk about a shaft.
1:43
Got it.
1:44
We're talking about the bat shaft.
1:46
My fourteen-year-old brain is locked in.
1:49
Let's go.
1:49
We need to be clear about this, right?
1:53
So the typical baseball bat
1:55
for years has been weighted
1:58
at the very end of the bat.
2:00
So your swing speed
2:02
increases from physics of
2:05
that weight at the end of the bat.
2:07
Right.
2:09
Someone engineered a bat to
2:11
look more like a bowling pin.
2:14
And so they've moved the
2:15
heaviest part of the bat
2:17
down the shaft and
2:20
to where, like just below the sweet spot,
2:23
what most people would call
2:23
the sweet spot of the bat.
2:24
Right.
2:27
And what that does is it puts...
2:30
It doesn't really slow the
2:32
bat speed down much,
2:33
and it makes the bat have more impact.
2:37
Now, if you hit it right,
2:39
it doesn't make any difference at all,
2:40
but you can hit it wrong
2:42
and still get a home run
2:45
because of the way the bat's designed.
2:47
But it still measures within
2:49
everything that baseball
2:51
has set forth as the rules
2:52
of what a bat has to be.
2:55
So it's not illegal in any way.
2:57
All they did was move the dense part,
2:59
the heaviest part of the
3:00
bat down the shaft right
3:03
below the sweet spot.
3:06
My fourteen-year-old brain
3:07
is holding on for dear life.
3:08
Many times you said it moved
3:09
it down the shaft.
3:10
Yeah.
3:13
ACR says good old shaft talk.
3:16
That's why we're going to
3:18
talk about some shafts.
3:21
That's what we're here for.
3:22
Just talk about shafts.
3:23
Just talk about shafts.
3:32
So there it is.
3:35
It looks like a big bowling pin.
3:38
Exactly.
3:38
It's like the bit, not the, not the nub,
3:42
but the rest of the bowling pin.
3:44
Got it.
3:44
Looks like that.
3:45
All right.
3:48
Oh, I'm tracking, I'm tracking, okay.
3:51
ACR wants to know what's for lunch.
3:54
What are y'all having for lunch?
3:55
We've got blackened scallops
3:56
and sweet potatoes.
3:58
Aaron, I'm on my way.
3:59
Yeah.
4:01
That is a fancy lunch, man.
4:03
For real, I had chicken and rice.
4:06
Kenneth's got some leftover
4:07
soup of some kind of chicken.
4:11
My wife is detoxing me.
4:13
Hate when that happens.
4:17
And ACR is giving me shit
4:18
about my Pirates because
4:20
the Reds are even doing better than that.
4:22
That's because they got the Torpedo Bat.
4:25
So does not everybody have it?
4:27
I don't understand.
4:27
Torpedo Bat.
4:29
Why are they picking on the
4:30
Yankees about it?
4:33
Are they the only ones who have it?
4:35
They have the most players with it,
4:37
but there are other players
4:38
in the league that have it.
4:38
But now there's a demand.
4:40
And it's just like this
4:41
independent bat company guy
4:44
that makes it for himself.
4:45
So now it's trying to get...
4:48
get the meat to demand got
4:51
it I thought the way they
4:52
made it sound was like the
4:53
yankees the only people
4:54
that have them and it's a
4:55
problem and they're just
4:57
hitting home runs left and
4:58
right and like the season's
4:59
been going on for a week uh
5:01
good old chicken and rice
5:03
so what I have waiting for
5:04
me after this show is my
5:06
mom my wife made uh beef
5:08
tips the other night so
5:12
beef tips over rice that's
5:13
what is on the menu for me
5:16
right after this show
5:17
And it is, they are so good.
5:21
So good.
5:22
I saw a meme this morning that said,
5:24
same thing for breakfast every day,
5:26
normal.
5:26
Same thing for lunch every day, normal.
5:28
Same thing for dinner every day,
5:30
complete psychopath.
5:32
And apparently,
5:33
I did not know that I was a
5:34
complete psychopath because
5:37
five to six days a week,
5:38
I have the exact same thing for breakfast,
5:40
the exact same thing for lunch,
5:42
and the exact same thing for dinner.
5:46
Tips, shafts, sweet spots, hell of a show.
5:49
We need five minutes in yet.
5:53
If you had those three
5:54
things on your bingo card,
5:55
you were well on your way.
5:57
Buy a lottery ticket.
6:02
Andrew Sten, well, they did the Yankees.
6:04
They did hit nine home runs in one game,
6:07
but they don't all use torpedo bats.
6:09
Eli De La Cruz was the first
6:11
to hit a home run with one.
6:12
Yeah, get your Reds guy in there.
6:16
um andrew said perfect
6:18
lead-in for cat show
6:19
tonight um you're welcome
6:21
cat um and so if you didn't
6:28
see cat's new show is is
6:30
debuting tonight at eight
6:31
o'clock eastern time uh cat
6:34
ching feelings uh and that
6:37
best name for a show on the
6:39
internet at this point
6:41
So that'll be at eight o'clock.
6:42
And then today at four p.m.
6:44
Eastern time,
6:45
busy day on the Clydesdale Media YouTube,
6:47
we have Ariel Loewen back
6:51
for the first time in a while.
6:54
And so that should be a fun show too.
6:56
Yeah, Stan is correct.
6:58
So Kat was in the chat
7:00
earlier on Seve's show and
7:02
he was asking about it
7:04
because he had saw something about it.
7:06
And so like he's directing
7:07
all those yabbos
7:09
myself included,
7:11
to go and check out Kat's show tonight.
7:13
So chances are,
7:14
the chat is going to be like, yeah.
7:19
Yeah.
7:20
Okay.
7:23
Yeah.
7:24
That ought to be interesting.
7:26
That dude loves him as much as Seven,
7:30
excuse me, Seven, oh boy,
7:32
yesterday I kept calling him Seven.
7:34
As much as Seven likes his
7:36
own shows and whatnot,
7:37
anybody's got a dating show,
7:39
he happens to know he is all
7:42
in like he is all in he
7:44

7:45

7:46

7:49
your face is uh yeah
7:53
lauren's and you just found
7:54
out cat's got one boom he's
7:56
in should be interesting
8:00
the thing about cat is she
8:02
is completely transparent
8:04
Yeah.
8:05
She will tell you everything
8:06
that's happening.
8:08
Whether you want to know it or not.
8:10
Go back to the vacuum
8:11
cleaner story and it shows
8:14
you how transparent she can be.
8:15
Yeah.
8:20
I mean, yeah.
8:26
Eight o'clock, man.
8:27
Eight o'clock is my bedtime.
8:28
We'll, uh, I will try to make it in.
8:30
Yeah.
8:31
I'll try to make it out.
8:31
Ah,
8:35
Okay.
8:36
So what do we got on tap today?
8:39
It is before we get into
8:41
like your age group thing.
8:43
I did want to say that one
8:45
thing I learned last night
8:46
and I put it on the
8:47
thumbnail is breaking news
8:49
from the WFP is we do have
8:52
evidence that the world fitness tour,
8:55
our world fitness project
8:57
tour is doing video review
9:00
of the challenger workouts.
9:02
Oh,
9:04
And so the breaking news is
9:05
that Jamie got dinged in
9:07
one of her videos.
9:09
It has not been reflected on
9:10
the leaderboard yet.
9:14
How bad?
9:15
Real bad.
9:17
Her video was removed.
9:19
So I'm going to start with this.
9:22
And that is that...
9:28
They required that you weigh
9:30
all of your weights and she
9:33
did not weigh her dumbbell on camera.
9:36
So it disqualified video two.
9:42
Now, I can share my screen.
9:47
They've done a different
9:48
format of how they've
9:50
spelled everything out.
9:53
I'll pull it up just so you can see.
9:55
I'm not making excuses.
9:56
It's in there.
9:57
It does say that you have to do that.
9:59
Right.
10:03
either rogue or the games,
10:05
the two kind of premier shows out on the,
10:09
the circuit, um,
10:10
you get the workout description.
10:12
It tells you all the things you must do.
10:14
Correct.
10:15
Might be eight pages,
10:17
but it's all in like that one document.
10:19
Right.
10:20
So what world fitness project has done, uh,
10:23
blew up the wrong screen.
10:25
Um,
10:26
so they have a workout description and
10:28
a scorecard,
10:29
and then they have video
10:30
submission standards separate.
10:34
So when you click on this,
10:36
it's all the workout stuff, right?
10:38
Floor setup, flow of the workout, scoring,
10:41
tie break.
10:42
There's the floor plan.
10:45
All the typical stuff you
10:46
would see like in any other
10:51
qualifier or whatever.
10:53
Right.
10:54
Let me close this one up.
11:00
But then in addition to it,
11:02
here are all the video standards.
11:08
And it does say like equipment,
11:10
digital weight scale.
11:12
And then down here, your video must.
11:16
And I actually like this layout.
11:18
It makes it very easy to read.
11:19
I'll give them complete kudos on that.
11:23
Where I have a problem with
11:24
it is when you're bringing
11:26
on your new league, a new competition,
11:29
and you have new standards
11:31
in the way that you're laying things out,
11:34
should have been more
11:36
emphasis on pointing that
11:38
out to the challengers.
11:40
Yeah, I was going to say,
11:41
if you're doing stuff and
11:43
it's going to be slightly
11:43
different than what
11:44
everybody's already used to,
11:46
then you might want to
11:46
bring that to everybody's attention.
11:48
Hey,
11:49
I know normally for the Open or for
11:52
online semifinals,
11:53
we don't weigh all of our
11:55
weights beforehand,
11:55
but you are going to need
11:56
to do that this time.
11:59
Put it out there because
12:00
that's kind of a big deal.
12:01
So like here,
12:02
it's like be recorded in
12:03
accordance with the suggested floor plan.
12:05
Equipment must be shown.
12:07
Equipment must be weighed on
12:09
a digital scale.
12:11
So it does say it like it is in there.
12:14
It's just it's in a different format.
12:18
And so while I love the new format,
12:20
I think it actually is
12:21
clearer when you're setting
12:24
up your video.
12:25
You have one place to go to
12:26
see all of that stuff as
12:29
opposed to like a nine-page
12:31
document from Rogue trying
12:32
to find everything in that format.
12:34
um, that document.
12:36
Right.
12:37
Um,
12:37
I just think they should have made
12:38
people aware either like a
12:40
video short on YouTube or
12:42
Instagram or YouTube,
12:44
or send something out to
12:45
the people who signed up for,
12:47
to be a challenger or whatever, but.
12:50
Something that was something that was more,
12:53
more than just, uh,
12:55
a line in the rule book.
12:59
I mean, not, not, and again,
13:01
I'm with you on the, it's in the rules.
13:03
It's a thing, but it's for her,
13:07
but just wish they would
13:08
have done that because
13:10
we've already heard that
13:11
Emma McQuaid is out for tour stop one.
13:13
She is one of the signed athletes.
13:14
So now, so now, so now, so now, so now,
13:23
And if you have these things
13:25
in your descriptions that
13:26
aren't very clear and
13:27
people haven't seen before
13:29
and you lose a good chunk
13:31
of your challengers,
13:34
now you have less to put
13:35
into the competition.
13:38
And we as a fan get cheated
13:40
and you lose the momentum
13:42
you're trying to get with that.
13:45
Yeah, it's a butterfly effect.
13:51
or dominoes, whatever you want to call it,
13:52
right?
13:53
Now this person's being
13:54
affected and what are these
13:56
less people and not to take
13:58
anything away from the
13:59
people that's going to move
14:00
up because these other
14:01
people got knocked down
14:02
because they are fit, but God love them.
14:07
You don't necessarily know
14:08
who these people are.
14:10
Right.
14:11
It's a bigger deal if it's a
14:13
McQuaid than if it is, you know,
14:17
somebody that's, you know,
14:19
basically almost regional
14:20
level competitor type deal
14:22
that nobody necessarily knows.
14:24
When proven in these
14:28
workouts that you're fitter
14:29
and the only reason you're
14:30
being dinged is because you
14:31
didn't show weighing a dumbbell.
14:34
Like it's not your fitness
14:37
that lost you that spot.
14:38
It was just an oversight on oversight.
14:41
Yeah.
14:43
It's happened to a million
14:44
people at rogue.
14:45
Like this is the first and
14:47
last time this happens.
14:51
I'm I'm my, uh,
14:53
when I qualified for MFC two years ago,
14:56
um,
14:57
I was basically going to be backfill
14:59
into the RX division.
15:01
And I got an email because I
15:03
did not measure my wall
15:04
ball target on video.
15:07
Um,
15:07
and they sent me the email at like
15:11
three o'clock in the afternoon,
15:12
something like that,
15:12
or that work when I got it saying, Hey,
15:14
blah, blah, blah, blah.
15:16
Uh,
15:18
You know, we'd like to invite you,
15:20
but you didn't measure your
15:21
wall ball target.
15:22
Can you go do that?
15:24
Like,
15:24
take a video and send that to us
15:26
right now.
15:27
And I emailed him back and I was like,
15:28
I'm at work right now,
15:30
but I can do it when I get
15:32
off in a little bit.
15:33
If that's like, you know,
15:34
I don't know how time sensitive this is.
15:36
And they were like, no, that's fine.
15:38
What time do you get?
15:38
I said five o'clock.
15:40
So I got to the gym.
15:42
And me and my buddy Jeff
15:43
went in between classes and
15:46
measured the wall ball target on video,
15:48
sent it to them.
15:49
And within five minutes, they were like,
15:50
cool, here's your invite.
15:53
So, Dan, I'm not disputing this at all.
15:56
Rogue didn't make an
15:57
announcement when they required weighing.
15:58
I hate to seem so blunt,
16:00
but it's up to the athlete
16:01
to look through.
16:01
Again, I'm not – it was in the rules.
16:05
The rules were broken.
16:06
They made their decision.
16:07
I get it.
16:08
What I'm saying is as a new
16:10
entity into the space,
16:12
you want to put together
16:13
the best competition you can,
16:15
and so it just would have been –
16:18
I think in your best
16:19
interest as the WFP to let
16:22
the challengers know, hey,
16:24
we're changing the format.
16:26
Everything you need for the
16:27
video submission is in this section.
16:29
Everything for the workout here,
16:31
it's a little bit different
16:32
than you're used to.
16:34
Make sure you read everything.
16:36
Yeah.
16:37
And they don't have to.
16:38
Again, it's their world.
16:41
I just think that you want
16:42
the best people you can get
16:44
there to compete to attract more fans.
16:48
You're in the infancy stages of this thing,
16:51
and you want the best
16:54
people you can get there, get there.
16:58
Yeah, especially right now.
17:01
It's their first year.
17:02
It's their first time.
17:03
Their first event hadn't
17:04
even happened yet.
17:05
david johnson it's a
17:06
double-edged sword we want
17:07
more measurement measures
17:09
to prevent cheating but
17:10
unfortunately it makes
17:11
videoing a qualifier a
17:13
logistic nightmare
17:14
completely agree hey we
17:18
don't want someone in there
17:19
doing hollow dumbbells
17:21
right like I get it and and
17:23
again I'm not making
17:24
excuses for jamie she just
17:26
and I'm just privy to that
17:27
information because she's
17:28
my friend and she sent me the email
17:32
And to be fair,
17:33
Jamie probably feels the same way.
17:35
Like, I didn't do it.
17:38
And at the end of the day,
17:40
Jamie did this for funsies
17:41
and just happened to qualify.
17:43
Correct.
17:44
Right?
17:45
She thought it was a good
17:46
way to get a good workout
17:47
in for the weekend.
17:48
So she's kind of torn, like,
17:50
should I be upset about it?
17:52
Because I did qualify.
17:53
Now I'm not going to be able to go.
17:55
Or I really just did it for
17:57
funsies anyway.
17:58
Yeah.
18:00
And so...
18:02
Yeah.
18:03
Again, nobody's in the wrong.
18:06
I just think that it could
18:07
have been done in a way to
18:08
help you promote the sport better.
18:12
And hell,
18:13
if I'm the marketing person and
18:15
I'm advertising that we're
18:16
going to be super strict on
18:18
our video standards, including X, Y,
18:20
and Z,
18:21
that's a point I would put out to
18:23
the public to let them know
18:25
we're not going to tolerate cheating.
18:27
I want to let everybody know,
18:29
like flat out as much as
18:30
humanly possible screaming
18:32
from the rooftops.
18:32
Look, bro,
18:33
we are putting all of this stuff
18:34
in place to make sure that
18:35
we are covering every base we can.
18:38
I want you to weigh your dumbbell.
18:39
I don't care if it says
18:39
fifty on the outside of it
18:41
and it says rogue on the next panel.
18:44
Weigh it.
18:44
Put it on the scale.
18:45
Show me, video, blah, blah, blah,
18:47
the whole thing.
18:53
In the interest of transparency,
18:55
I think that would have been
18:56
know a fantastic idea hey
18:58
read the rules make sure
18:59
you read the rules I'm
19:00
gonna say it again read the
19:02
rules because they're there
19:04
yeah and they're not what
19:06
you're they're not
19:06
necessarily what you're
19:07
used to they're close
19:09
they're not necessarily
19:10
what you're used to yeah
19:11
and my final props are that
19:13
they have been doing things
19:14
by like the emma mcquade
19:15
not withdrawing was done by
19:17
press release emails to all
19:19
the media members
19:21
What a nice change of pace
19:23
to be able to get news from
19:25
the source on a press
19:26
release instead of having
19:28
to dig through Instagram.
19:29
Did Dave post it?
19:30
Did CrossFit Games post it?
19:32
Did Don Paul post it?
19:33
Did Brian Spann post it?
19:36
Yeah.
19:36
Right.
19:37
Or did the athlete themselves post it?
19:41
If they did, when?
19:43
One email from the source and you know,
19:46
okay, she's out.
19:48
Yeah.
19:49
That's a lot cleaner.
19:51
Yeah, so I love that change.
19:55
So speaking of online qualifiers,
19:59
tomorrow starts the
20:03
um so jody's asking what
20:04
happened to emma emma had
20:06
wrist surgery back in
20:07
december she thought it
20:08
would be um better by now
20:11
uh but she is still only
20:12
lifting empty empty
20:14
barbells at this point and
20:16
she is doing no kipping
20:18
because her wrists still
20:19
can't handle it and she's
20:21
hoping to be available by
20:23
tour stop two uh in august
20:30
those wrist surgeries are nasty.
20:33
So semis this weekend,
20:37
Thursday through Sunday,
20:40
you got your workouts.
20:43
What is,
20:44
you saw them and not from like a
20:47
programming standpoint,
20:49
but from a Corey standpoint.
20:51
Oh, from a Corey standpoint, I'm pumped.
20:54
The only one, the only one I am not,
20:58
I don't say not looking forward to,
21:00
but the only one that's
21:01
probably going to be fairly
21:02
miserable is the row
21:05
shoulder to overhead.
21:06
And simply because seventy
21:08
five calories for my five
21:10
foot six self is just.
21:14
It's just long, dude.
21:15
It's sitting on a roller for
21:17
probably close to four
21:18
minutes before I get up, grab the barbell,
21:21
do my thing with the barbell,
21:22
and then get back on the
21:23
roller for another three and a half,
21:26
four minutes, whatever the case may be.
21:28
Like, seventy-five calories,
21:29
it just takes me a long time.
21:32
I am not mechanically built to row,
21:33
so I got to be as efficient
21:35
as I can to be able to pull
21:39
and get myself somewhere in
21:40
decent time to where I can get up,
21:42
not be completely wasted,
21:44
grab the barbell,
21:45
because the barbell I'm fine with.
21:48
The three weights is not a big deal.
21:49
The reps are fine.
21:52
Now, I will say this.
21:53
I was talking to a couple
21:54
people about this.
21:55
That two-twenty-five bar is
21:56
probably going to feel like
21:57
a two-seventy-five bar by
21:58
the time I get to it,
21:59
just from all the rowing
22:01
and the previous barbells.
22:03
But the other four, which
22:08
We got five.
22:09
Last year we had four.
22:10
I wasn't expecting that.
22:11
That's kind of cool.
22:15
But that's the only one I'm
22:17
not overly thrilled about.
22:19
We're going to just kind of
22:20
hold on and do as much as I
22:22
can as far as that one's concerned.
22:25
I tested,
22:26
and by tested I mean I very
22:28
lightly tested two of them yesterday.
22:31
The
22:32
clean bar muscle up in the morning.
22:34
I just did the first five
22:35
rounds just to kind of get
22:36
an idea of how that was
22:37
going to be paced.
22:39
And then Heavy Isabel,
22:43
my weightlifting coach right there,
22:45
Dan Church,
22:46
he was pumped up for me
22:48
yesterday because I was not
22:52
aware of the fact that I
22:53
could actually cycle a
22:54
hundred and eighty five
22:54
pound power snatches until
22:56
yesterday because I've never had to.
23:01
Right?
23:02
I've been working.
23:04
I can't tell you how many
23:05
times me and Dan's going
23:06
back and forth trying to
23:07
correct my form via videos and whatnot.
23:10
That dude is a saint for
23:12
putting up with my stubborn ass.
23:15
But yeah, I did half of it yesterday.
23:19
Actually, one more than half.
23:22
Two misses,
23:23
one of them that I threw over
23:24
my head because I had Dan
23:25
in my head telling me to
23:27
push off with my legs
23:28
instead of pull with my arms, basically.
23:31
And then the other one,
23:32
I just rushed it a little bit.
23:34
So two misses.
23:37
Ended up doing sixteen
23:38
instead of fifteen because I can't count,
23:40
apparently, which is fine.
23:43
But I'm going to finish it.
23:45
Like,
23:46
there's no doubt in my mind I'm going
23:47
to finish it,
23:47
which is kind of a big deal.
23:50
Because if you'd have asked
23:51
me last year if I could
23:52
have done heavy Isabel at .
23:55
I'd have told you there's no possible way.
23:57
Yeah.
24:02
Yeah.
24:03
So I'm pretty excited about that.
24:06
Interesting that there's no like maxes,
24:08
right?
24:09
Like the, the heavy is your,
24:12
your weightlifting event.
24:12
That is your, that is, that,
24:14
that is basically the strength component,
24:15
which is fine, dude.
24:16
Like, and everybody talks about everybody.
24:20
I kind of agree.
24:21
If it was a one rep,
24:25
some people are gonna like
24:26
the leaderboards gonna end
24:27
up getting skewed even with
24:29
even with five right you're
24:30
gonna get people who are
24:32
super strong and can't move
24:34
that are gonna just like
24:35
smash that part of it
24:36
whatever uh so I think this
24:39
is a better test as far as
24:41
that is concerned um
24:42
because it's strength and
24:43
capacity all at the same
24:44
time um I I'm I'm excited I
24:49
can't wait I want to see
24:52
Well,
24:53
I'll probably be tuned into the show
24:55
Sunday night whenever y'all
24:56
are waiting for the
24:57
leaderboard to go live just
24:58
to see where I'm at.
25:01
Yeah, Dan is one hundred percent correct.
25:03
You got to be strong to be fast.
25:06
One reps are party tricks.
25:08
And now we're waiting for
25:09
Larry Young to respond.
25:16
Love me some Larry Young.
25:17
Love me some Larry Young.
25:20
I would agree.
25:20
And
25:23
I was pumped yesterday because I know,
25:26
so let's, let's look at the cleans,
25:28
right?
25:29
I can move weight close to my one rep max.
25:33
I can move eighty percent, seventy five,
25:35
eighty percent cleans well,
25:38
as far as like cycling is concerned.
25:40
I just haven't had to do it
25:42
a whole lot with heavy
25:42
weights like that for snatching.
25:45
So yesterday I was super pumped to do,
25:49
you know,
25:49
a little bit of testing that I
25:50
did and end up where I was.
25:53
where I was well within time
25:54
that I was going to be able
25:55
to be finished.
25:56
So I'm kind of excited about that one.
26:01
Uh,
26:01
David Johnson said the open really
26:03
tested engine and not strength.
26:05
So quite a bit of athletes
26:06
moved on who won't be able
26:08
to move these weights very well.
26:10
I was talking to a fellow, forty-five,
26:12
forty-nine about that Monday.
26:14
Some of these cardio bunnies that, that,
26:16
you know, slipped in high up on the
26:21
on the leaderboard, like that one, eight,
26:23
five snatch is going to smack.
26:25
It's going, it's called murder.
26:26
I mean, it really, really will.
26:27
Uh, so we'll see.
26:32
I know I can move it.
26:33
That's all I'm,
26:34
that's all I'm concerned about.
26:35
Uh,
26:36
Dave on his weekend review said max was
26:38
the only thing that
26:39
CrossFitters can't compete
26:40
with the regular world and
26:42
it would skew the leaderboard.
26:43
There you go, Scott.
26:44
Yeah.
26:44
Yeah.
26:48
I mean, if I could, if I got in, so,
26:51
forty-five, forty-nine,
26:52
I think the cutoff was two
26:54
hundred and sixty-four people, right?
26:57
If I got into,
26:59
if I qualified for semis in
27:02
two hundred and fifty a spot,
27:03
but I got a two hundred and
27:04
seventy-five pound snatch,
27:06
and that age group,
27:08
I'm winning that event.
27:10
Hands down.
27:12
Hands down.
27:13
Like, nobody else would even come close.
27:15
So, like, that's one point for Corey.
27:19
And if I am half as good at the rest of it,
27:22
like I can end up at a really high level.
27:27
And just because I am super
27:28
strong and can do like Dan said,
27:34
I can do that one party trick.
27:35
I can lift something one time really,
27:36
really heavy.
27:39
David Johnson says,
27:40
I'll be curious to see if
27:41
signups are low this year
27:42
because of my previous statement.
27:44
That's another thing we were
27:45
talking about too is how many people
27:48
From the logistics standpoint, right,
27:51
needing the two judges,
27:52
having to be at an
27:53
affiliate in good standing,
27:55
had to put everything on video,
27:57
which we had to do that before.
27:59
But from that point and then
28:01
looking at this stuff and going,
28:03
like Lana just said,
28:04
like she can't do the snatch weight.
28:07
How many people are looking at that?
28:09
And I know a couple of them
28:11
that are looking at it and are thinking,
28:12
I might be able to get one, maybe two.
28:17
Or how well they're going to
28:18
move that hundred eighty
28:19
five pound clean for the
28:20
clean bar muscle up or the
28:22
shoulder to overhead once
28:23
it gets heavy at the two
28:25
twenty five point.
28:29
What you said reminded me of
28:31
a meme I saw today.
28:34
And she is an age group athlete,
28:36
Tia Vesser.
28:37
She won the games in twenty
28:39
two in the fifty to fifty
28:41
four year old division, I believe.
28:46
She's always at MFC,
28:47
and she's one of my
28:48
favorite athletes out there.
28:51
So getting ready for the age group semis.
28:54
I don't know if you guys can see this.
28:57
My footage of all the ducks
28:59
I need to get in a row.
29:00
Yeah.
29:00
And there it is.
29:02
That is accurate.
29:05
And it says below, I'll pause it,
29:08
find judges, make sure they're qualified,
29:11
work schedules, coordinate athletes,
29:13
coordinate work times,
29:14
don't interfere with classes,
29:16
how to order the events,
29:17
checklist of everything HQ
29:19
needed in your intro,
29:20
hope YouTube accepts your videos,
29:25
and then actually do the workout.
29:27
Yeah.
29:28
All that stuff before you go
29:31
do the workout.
29:31
That's a lot, dude.
29:34
That's a lot of ducks.
29:37
I still don't, I know,
29:41
like Benoit asked me yesterday, you know,
29:45
when are we doing these?
29:49
I have a daddy-daughter
29:49
dance to attend Friday night.
29:52
So Friday night's out of the question.
29:57
I might be able to slide out
29:58
of here early Friday and go
30:00
do one Friday afternoon,
30:03
but I don't really, like,
30:05
I don't know if I'm,
30:06
I have both my judges
30:07
available at that time
30:08
because they both work.
30:10
I have a job as it turns out.
30:11
Like I was watching, uh, Oh, good Lord.
30:16
Uh,
30:17
CJ and them on the podcast yesterday or
30:20
day before yesterday.
30:20
And they were talking about
30:21
like the order and blah, blah, blah,
30:22
whatever.
30:23
And this is how we do it.
30:24
And I was like, that all sounds great.
30:26
I have a job and kids and
30:30
like other responsibilities
30:31
to take care of.
30:32
Yes, I am doing these.
30:34
You know, and then they, oh, do, you know,
30:38
one at this time on
30:39
Thursday and then another
30:40
one in the next one,
30:41
two hours later on Thursday
30:42
and then do two a month.
30:43
And that way you can leave yourself,
30:45
you know,
30:45
time to redo them if you need to
30:47
on Sunday.
30:47
And I'm like,
30:48
I don't have time for all that.
30:51
No, I'm not going to say it's singles,
30:53
steady singles.
30:56
so answering Aaron Corey
30:58
you're doing you're going
30:59
to cycle one eighty five
31:00
not just two singles you're
31:02
saying fast singles fast
31:03
singles fast singles
31:06
probably one every fifteen
31:09
seconds or so if I can help
31:14
it what's what's funny is I
31:19
don't think it would skew
31:20
it as much as they think I
31:21
think the last bar should
31:22
knock out the same
31:23
percentage as muscle ups do
31:29
I'm not telling Larry he's wrong,
31:33
but he's wrong.
31:37
If it was ring muscle-ups, absolutely.
31:40
One hundred percent.
31:41
But the bar muscle-ups, dude,
31:43
I've competed against a
31:44
bunch of these dudes.
31:45
Everybody can do them.
31:46
Everybody can do them tired.
31:48
The weight at this point,
31:51
especially going overhead
31:52
like that with a snatch,
31:54
is going to be a huge separate.
31:56
That's going to be a big deal.
32:00
Take some PTO.
32:02
I actually have a shit ton of it,
32:03
but I also have vacations
32:05
and competitions and whatnot,
32:07
all kinds of stuff my
32:08
entire year is planned out.
32:11
And your true goal is to
32:12
make the games when you hit fifty, right?
32:14
Yeah, a hundred percent.
32:16
My main goal this year is to
32:17
do better than I did last year,
32:19
as far as my final
32:21
placement is concerned.
32:23
That's it.
32:25
Nothing beyond that.
32:26
Anything beyond that,
32:27
Anything beyond me finishing
32:28
at a hundred and
32:29
fifty-seventh is Lanyard.
32:32
Period.
32:33
Full stop.
32:34
Now, when I go to Kansas for Monster Games,
32:39
I'm going there to try to
32:40
get on the podium.
32:40
Period.
32:42
Like, that's all there is to it.
32:45
That's why we started swimming.
32:48
David Johnson said it should
32:49
have been ring muscle-ups,
32:50
and I have heard that from
32:51
multiple athletes.
32:53
It should have been ring muscle-ups.
32:56
I will say I would have
32:57
liked to have seen ring
32:58
muscle-ups because like a
33:01
lot of people have said,
33:02
and I have agreed with, there is a good,
33:04
strong possibility.
33:07
The way this is laid out,
33:08
the way these tests are,
33:09
you could end up with
33:10
somebody at the games who
33:12
either does not have ring
33:13
muscle-ups or only has one or three.
33:15
You know what I mean?
33:18
Or that can't do multiple
33:19
sets of them or they barely
33:22
might be able to do hardly any at all.
33:25
It's just a weird thing to
33:26
not have them in there.
33:29
Look at that dude.
33:30
Yeah, it just popped up.
33:31
I guess Instagram heard me
33:33
talking about him.
33:34
So they popped this up.
33:37
Dan Church doing Metcon Rush.
33:38
That is the one competition I really,
33:40
really want to go to.
33:42
I've heard nothing but good things.
33:45
And you don't have to qualify.
33:46
You just got to sign up.
33:48
But that is one sexy man right there.
33:51
That is a good looking human being,
33:52
ain't it?
33:56
It is intelligent as well.
33:57
And super helpful telling
33:59
you right now that dude has,
34:02
he has been in God's hand.
34:03
Uh, Larry, I'm not arguing the workouts.
34:11
I'm saying in general,
34:11
the weights like in the
34:13
open should be picked.
34:14
So they weigh the same as
34:15
the hard gymnastics.
34:17
If that's one thirty five or
34:18
three fifteen.
34:23
And Dan thanks us.
34:28
Yeah.
34:29
Um, so yeah, so you got, you're,
34:32
you're starting out tomorrow.
34:33
You're going to get it through.
34:35
And then as we said, as I said yesterday,
34:38
we are going to try to time
34:39
our Sunday night show that
34:40
we are still live when the
34:42
leaderboard is final and we can see it.
34:45
And then we'll know live on the air.
34:46
Did Corey make it?
34:48
Did Carolyn make it?
34:49
Did Jamie make it?
34:52
you'll get to see the live
34:53
reactions from at least two
34:54
of those people I'm excited
34:58
dude I'm excited to do them
35:00
um I don't want to say all
35:03
of them in my wheelhouse
35:03
because that road one is
35:04
definitely not and I don't
35:06
try to have an actual
35:07
wheelhouse but like in the
35:11
arbitrary burpee over the
35:15
dumbbell, whatever.
35:16
Because it wasn't a
35:17
nightmare judging in the open enough.
35:20
Go ahead and just keep on
35:22
keeping on with that.
35:26
The handstand walk doesn't mean anything.
35:28
It's fifteen feet down and
35:29
fifteen feet back.
35:30
You can't walk fifteen feet
35:31
unbroken on your hands.
35:32
You should not be in semifinals anyway.
35:36
That one's going to be a
35:38
case of keep moving.
35:40
Figure out a way to keep moving.
35:41
Whatever you got to do.
35:43
I feel like that one's
35:44
almost more of a burpee
35:45
test than it is anything else.
35:46
Burpee and total bar because
35:48
that last set of thirty
35:48
total bar is going to be for real.
35:52
Like for real, for real.
35:55
That's going to be a judging
35:56
test because did you go
35:58
over the dumbbell?
35:59
Did you go behind the dumbbell?
36:00
Did you go around the dumbbell?
36:05
Luckily, we already had lots of practice.
36:09
You and I talked about this,
36:10
I think yesterday, right?
36:11
Like why did they pick the
36:14
dumbbell as that apparatus
36:16
for that when it's not even
36:18
used anywhere else in the workout?
36:19
You could have used any
36:20
other object to jump over.
36:26
If you want to make it
36:27
something to jump over, okay,
36:30
make it a barbell.
36:32
Did you clear the barbell?
36:33
Good.
36:34
You didn't?
36:35
Okay.
36:35
Try again.
36:36
Like it's easy as opposed to, oh,
36:38
I think he's getting over that dumbbell.
36:40
Oh, I'm not real sure.
36:41
Angle's kind of weird.
36:43
Thanks, Larry.
36:48
It just doesn't.
36:51
It's like they copied and pasted.
36:53
Well, we already had this printed out.
36:56
Let's go ahead and copy it,
36:57
paste it right over here
36:58
and just make it.
37:00
these burpees over the
37:01
dumbbell for some unknown reason.
37:03
I don't get it.
37:04
I really, really don't.
37:08
And in the, I mean, the sprint,
37:10
because that's what it's going to be,
37:12
the lunge, snatch, box jump over.
37:19
I would have preferred it
37:20
than burpee box jump overs.
37:21
I think that might have gave
37:22
us a little bit more of a separation.
37:24
But Emma, that's my girl.
37:30
Emma is the official Emma
37:32
Imamco photographer, videographer,
37:36
all the things,
37:37
all them badass reels
37:38
you've been seeing on Imamco's page.
37:40
Emma has been making all of them.
37:41
She is, she's a badass.
37:43
She's awesome.
37:45
I wonder if we can lay two
37:47
dumbbells end to end to
37:48
make sure we get both.
37:49
That,
37:52
that makes more sense to me than just
37:54
doing it over a dumbbell
37:55
since you're not using it anyway.
37:57
Yeah.
37:58
You're not using it for
37:59
anything else during that workout.
38:02
I mean, it sounds dumb,
38:03
but it actually makes more
38:04
sense than just... No, he's right.
38:08
He's right.
38:09
It's an arbitrary dumbbell.
38:10
It's, oh,
38:11
they got to do a burpee over something.
38:13
Should we put a tape line
38:14
down and make them burpee over that?
38:16
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
38:18
You could actually see a
38:19
tape line pretty good.
38:20
Let's use a dumbbell again.
38:23
Why not use a clip?
38:26
MSN, she loves you, buddy.
38:28
she's an awesome dude.
38:29
She really, really is.
38:31
Um, she's also, uh,
38:35
uplifts main videographer,
38:38
photographer and whatnot.
38:40
Like, uh, more,
38:40
most of the people she's
38:42
ready to love that organization.
38:46
Um,
38:47
so last thing before we head out of
38:48
here as our lunch hours
38:50
coming to an end is
38:51
mayhem's this week as well.
38:54
Um,
38:56
I tried to watch the mayhem
38:59
podcast this morning before we went live.
39:01
I got forty five minutes in
39:04
with a half an hour to go.
39:05
They went long for a rich podcast.
39:07
Yeah.
39:08
And Rich said he loves these
39:11
age group workouts because he's left.
39:15
He doesn't get involved.
39:16
Yeah.
39:19
He's what, thirty seven, thirty eight.
39:22
Somewhere in there.
39:22
Yeah.
39:23
Yeah.
39:24
He's already done Isabella two twenty five,
39:26
like doing it at two fifteen for him.
39:28
That's that's less the light day.
39:32
They talked a lot about
39:33
what's going to go on with
39:34
mayhem or with the mayhem
39:36
classic this weekend.
39:38
They released their second workout,
39:39
which is the dumbbell thruster rope climb,
39:43
legless rope climb,
39:45
which is a cool workout.
39:47
That is so that will be event three.
39:50
And that is, it's weird.
39:53
The rope climbs are five, four, three,
39:55
two for men and four, three, two,
39:58
one for women.
40:00
And then the dumbbell
40:01
thrusters are like twenty seven,
40:03
twenty one, fifty nine, I think.
40:10
So that should be a fun one to watch.
40:12
What's the weight on a dumbbell?
40:15
Fifty five, forty.
40:22
And he said just a little
40:24
bit heavier than you're used to.
40:28
Just enough to where you
40:28
pick him up and you go, oh, okay, okay.
40:32
That was his explanation on
40:33
this show was we just
40:36
wanted to make him just a
40:37
little bit heavier than you're used to.
40:40
I think that's a good idea
40:41
because over time,
40:42
like over the length of the workout,
40:44
that's going to start to
40:45
have some real sub to it.
40:47
Cause every time you pick it back up,
40:48
like your body's so used to
40:49
either the fifty or the
40:50
seventy or whatever it is
40:52
you use and like, oh,
40:53
this is a little heavy.
40:57
It's like having people run
40:58
a five hundred instead of a four hundred.
40:59
Nobody runs,
41:00
nobody in CrossFit runs five
41:01
hundred meters.
41:02
Like nobody,
41:02
nobody would even would know how.
41:05
Yeah, that's, that's, that's kind of wild.
41:09
Yeah, I agree.
41:10
I think that it's going to be, yeah,
41:14
interesting and fun.
41:15
So we now know three events,
41:18
which is the feed sack
41:20
squats with the run,
41:22
the eight hundred ish meter run.
41:25
And then I think it's the
41:27
burpee box getovers.
41:30
And then we have heavy
41:31
Isabel and we have the thrusters.
41:38
So.
41:39
Those are the three workouts that are out.
41:43
They're also going to do a
41:44
Kill Taylor live from the Mayhem Classic.
41:47
That's going to be.
41:48
And there was a thought that
41:50
this one might be another
41:51
partner workout version
41:55
where Rich might get involved.
41:58
Taylor would lose his mind.
41:59
His head would explode.
42:03
That's going to be fun, dude.
42:04
Like I'm going to,
42:05
I'm going to be watching in between,
42:08
get my events done Saturday
42:09
as much as I can.
42:10
Uh,
42:11
but I feel like that's going to be a
42:12
good time this weekend.
42:15
The mayhem masters athletes
42:19
that qualified or actually
42:21
all going to do the workouts at mayhem.
42:26
Okay.
42:29
it's bananas crazy but it's
42:32
awesome like that they get
42:33
that they get that
42:33
opportunity to go do that I
42:35
don't know are they going
42:36
to do them in the warm-up
42:37
area I have no idea I meant
42:39
to ask brandon exactly how
42:40
that's going to work but
42:42
they get that and they get
42:44
uh they're going to be
42:44
there also watching like
42:46
they get tickets to the man plastic so
42:49
I know that they've brought
42:50
them in every year.
42:50
Like last year when I talked
42:52
to them all behind the scenes,
42:54
that was a big thing.
42:55
But ACR says Grant had a
42:57
funny short on about not running over .
43:01
And it is good.
43:03
It's a great short, Kipping It Real.
43:07
yeah and he it's a
43:09
crossfitter and a high
43:10
rocks are running together
43:12
and at the four hundred
43:13
meter mark the crossfitters
43:14
like oh this is the four
43:15
hundred meter mark this is
43:16
all the further we go yes
43:19
now we can keep running and
43:20
and then he goes to run
43:22
like that next meter and
43:23
then falls to the floor
43:24
yeah if it's not four
43:28
hundred six hundred eight
43:29
hundred a thousand or a
43:31
mile because that's beyond
43:32
that is I'm running a mile
43:33
like I wouldn't know what
43:34
to do with myself
43:37
Chelsea Miller, something would explode.
43:38
Chelsea is correct.
43:41
Probably my knees.
43:45
But I think it's going to be fun.
43:46
I can't wait to see the broadcast.
43:49
They've been killing it with the media,
43:50
promoting it with Rich and
43:52
Angelo in the suit coats and the shorts.
43:56
Doing with him on the Echo
43:58
bike the other day,
43:59
I was laughing uncontrollably.
44:06
yeah it's all it's all good
44:08
stuff man mayhem always
44:10
puts on a good show um I
44:14
don't know if scott's in
44:15
charge like banner student
44:16
is in charge of their
44:16
entire media team but if
44:19
that's the or who's
44:20
actually running it but
44:22
they are doing like they're
44:23
not gonna depart every time um so
44:29
The broadcasting with Angelo
44:31
and Rich in the suit coats
44:33
was Rich's idea that Vander
44:35
Sloot brought to life.
44:37
Nice.
44:39
They talk about it in the show today.
44:41
I usually watch that one in
44:43
the afternoon when nothing else is on.
44:45
I try to catch the live
44:47
shows if they're going on.
44:49
I've had a busy week,
44:50
so I've not been up to date
44:51
on everything this week.
44:53
Apparently, there's a new announcement.
44:57
Dallin Pepper is a new rogue athlete.
45:00
And if you didn't see that one coming,
45:04
I believe he was here for the Arnold.
45:09
And that's usually when it all begins.
45:14
If I had to guess,
45:15
they brought him down or up,
45:17
whatever you want to look at it,
45:19
brought him over there.
45:20
Hey, come on to the Arnold.
45:22
Let's talk.
45:23
Dear Bill and Katie,
45:25
we would like Dallin Pepper
45:26
to be a road athlete.
45:30
good for him dude he's a
45:31
good dude man like yeah
45:34
promotes the the actual uh
45:39
affiliates and the the
45:42
jesus christ my brain's not
45:43
working well it's crossfit
45:45
in general not just the
45:47
competition side of the
45:48
methodology well and what
45:51
they're doing with uh
45:53
boys interrupted or whatever
45:56
like he's he's gonna be big
46:01
right in this space and
46:03
he's still what he's not
46:08
old that's for sure um yeah
46:13
so here it is welcome dylan
46:14
pepper to rogue athlete
46:15
team thank you t-bird for the heads up
46:23
Cool.
46:26
He definitely deserves it for sure.
46:28
Dan says, enjoy your day, fellas.
46:29
Crush it.
46:30
Corey, keep me posted.
46:32
I will.
46:32
And then T-Bird asked, Jason, next?
46:35
I don't know.
46:36
They don't have a big stable
46:37
at any one time.
46:41
No.
46:42
And they don't sign just anybody.
46:44
Not to say that Jason's not
46:47
a big deal in our space,
46:49
but they don't just...
46:52
Not everybody gets a Rogue shirt.
46:55
Right.
46:57
By any stretch of the imagination.
46:59
I would say,
47:00
to T-Bird's point about him being next,
47:02
is that he does have a big personality,
47:04
and that seems to be a thing with Rogue.
47:07
They don't want people that,
47:10
not that you've never heard of,
47:11
but that kind of fly under the radar.
47:13
That's not a thing at Rogue.
47:14
They want somebody who's actually visible,
47:17
going to...
47:20
wouldn't say make noise but
47:21
yeah I would one hundred
47:22
percent agree with that uh
47:27
jason would fit rogue more
47:29
than james I think I don't
47:34
know just I don't know just
47:35
don't person that just on
47:37
on and not dude I love
47:38
james I've been saying it
47:39
for a year and a half now
47:41
you love james brigg or
47:42
you're wrong because like
47:44
he's big giant puppy dog
47:47
slash teddy bear or whatnot but
47:50
Jason is more brash is more,
47:54
more of a shit talker, more of a,
47:56
you know what I mean?
47:57
Like for, to me, he fit,
48:00
he would fit in more as far
48:02
as being a rogue athlete
48:04
than James would at this point.
48:05
Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't,
48:11
I think they have a,
48:13
a variety of characters
48:14
that they bring on.
48:16
It's not any one.
48:19
Like Lauren Fisher was one
48:20
of their early athletes.
48:21
She was never a shit talker
48:23
or she was quiet and shy.
48:25
And then you have Sam Briggs
48:30
and Annie Thorstotter who
48:31
were more vocal.
48:34
I'm just thinking early days.
48:35
Yeah.
48:35
Sam Briggs was one of my favorites, dude.
48:40
I love Sam Briggs.
48:42
Yeah.
48:45
I still have that memory of
48:47
her yelling at me in the
48:48
middle of the open.
48:50
That is fantastic.
48:52
And then her passing Brent
48:55
Fikowski for no good reason
49:01
on that run they did at the ranch,
49:03
just coming around him.
49:08
Just because, because I'm faster than you.
49:10
And like,
49:11
there's no reason she's way out in front.
49:13
Nobody else is even close,
49:15
but except that dude, well, I'm going,
49:16
I'm going to go ahead and pass him up.
49:17
Cause it's a race and she
49:19
was racing everybody.
49:21
Yeah.
49:22
Well, my lunch hour's over.
49:25
Yes.
49:25
