Scott Panchik Joins & How Did Our 2025 Predictions Pan Out? · The Spin Podcast

• 0:32
  Welcome to the spin. If you guys thought the CrossFit
• 0:36
  game season when it's over, you're wrong.
• 0:38
  Mr. Scott Panchick, the the not only, not one and only Panchick
• 0:42
  with the one and only Scott Panchick is what, 12 hours away
• 0:47
  from your first first event tomorrow morning at the Masters
• 0:50
  CrossFit Games or I guess they're called the age group
• 0:52
  CrossFit Games. The age group, yeah, I, I mean,
• 0:55
  it's like legends age group. I don't know, sometimes I don't.
• 0:58
  What you what you prefer? I I think age group's
• 1:03
  appropriate because there's already been an A Legends event.
• 1:06
  I just feel like the age group kind of keeps it under the
• 1:08
  CrossFit umbrella. Scott, were you in Columbus
• 1:12
  during the regional we had there?
• 1:14
  It's like 2012, 2011, it would have been.
• 1:18
  If it was any time from, yeah, 2012, that was my first
• 1:22
  regionals we did, Diane. Yeah.
• 1:26
  Oh, that's amazing. So you're back in the same
• 1:28
  facility then, because they did that during the Arnold?
• 1:30
  I don't think it was, no. That's not the one then, if
• 1:34
  that's the one you're thinking of.
• 1:35
  We didn't do it during the Arnold and we weren't in the
• 1:37
  Convention Center. We were somewhere where there
• 1:39
  was definitely not air conditioning.
• 1:44
  We did not have air conditioning and it was pretty, pretty old.
• 1:47
  School nice I. Don't even think we had rubber
• 1:50
  floorings at that time. Oh yeah, I remember.
• 1:52
  I remember when rubber flooring showed up.
• 1:54
  It was like, whoa. Half the lanes had lumps in them
• 1:58
  and half of them were. Flat if there were something in
• 2:01
  lanes. It's funny, I feel like we've,
• 2:03
  we've come a long way in the sport and, and it like kind of
• 2:07
  went up and then I feel like it started to tutor, tutor back
• 2:10
  down a little bit at times. But we got, we got two, we got
• 2:13
  2, like padded. Everybody got used to the nice
• 2:16
  stuff. But we we all remember when we.
• 2:19
  Didn't have shit, I think. I think that's why they pulled
• 2:20
  out the old school wooden boxes for us this weekend.
• 2:23
  They didn't. They were like, hey, you know
• 2:24
  what? These masks, there's athletes
• 2:26
  are very calloused and you know they, they can handle jumping on
• 2:30
  a wooden box and there's the way they.
• 2:33
  Feel their shins anymore, those. Dudes are dead.
• 2:35
  Do it at this point, you know, we'll do some pistols and we'll
• 2:38
  do some wooden. Box.
• 2:40
  Mouse, these guys can handle it. You know, someday individuals,
• 2:45
  you guys will get to a point where you can do pistols and
• 2:47
  GHDS again. It all comes back.
• 2:52
  Yeah, man, you. So you're still the 35 to 39 age
• 2:57
  group division took a year off last year.
• 3:01
  You've been doing this since what, 20 competing since 2012.
• 3:04
  What makes you still throw your hat in the ring and want to
• 3:07
  compete? Honestly, last year I didn't
• 3:11
  compete and I kind of missed it. It was definitely something that
• 3:15
  I feel kind of makes me a better version of myself as a gym
• 3:19
  owner, as a husband, friend, just like, I don't know, even
• 3:23
  for myself, just like how I feel like energy wise, there was
• 3:27
  definitely something missing. But I've had three knee
• 3:31
  surgeries since 2021 and it's been kind of a grind coming back
• 3:35
  from that. And I just, you know, it's, it's
• 3:38
  taken me a while to figure it out.
• 3:40
  You know, you go from training one way as an individual athlete
• 3:44
  and coming into the masters, you're trying to figure out how
• 3:47
  to how to do it all all over again.
• 3:49
  And you've you've kind of figured out, I spent a decade
• 3:52
  figuring out as an individual. And then it's like, OK, your
• 3:54
  body's starting to change and you got to kind of pivot with
• 3:57
  that as well. And along with some of the
• 3:59
  injuries. And it's been fun to take the
• 4:02
  things that I've been learning through that training and be
• 4:06
  able to provide and give back to our community in that way.
• 4:08
  I definitely look at our master's community a little
• 4:10
  different than I did when I opened our gym in at 23, which
• 4:14
  has been fun, I think. I think it's helped me become a
• 4:17
  better coach. This will be your first year.
• 4:20
  Did you go to the masters competition last year or did is
• 4:23
  this your first time as as like the separate like?
• 4:27
  Yeah, this is my first time as this separate.
• 4:28
  I was there in 2023. Got it.
• 4:32
  What, what are your thoughts on on having it kind of split off
• 4:35
  and having your own time Like you're, you're, you're away from
• 4:39
  the big spotlight, but you also get to some degree your own
• 4:42
  spotlight, you know, from that standpoint.
• 4:47
  Yeah, it's, it's definitely interesting with it not being at
• 4:50
  the same time, but I also think that it allows us to have that
• 4:55
  opportunity to create stories and share those.
• 4:59
  And they're not, you know, over overseen by, you know, a lot of
• 5:03
  what's going on in the CrossFit world with the individuals.
• 5:06
  So I think it's really important for our community to get to see
• 5:10
  all the different walks of life within the CrossFit Games and
• 5:14
  the way these athletes can continue to progress because a
• 5:18
  lot of these people that you're seeing this weekend are the
• 5:21
  people that are walking into CrossFit gyms.
• 5:22
  You know, we have teenagers, we have masters from 35 all the way
• 5:26
  up to, you know, 60 plus, which is incredible.
• 5:29
  And I think when people see that, it gives them something to
• 5:32
  inspire towards as a as opposed to like, you know, you see the
• 5:36
  superheroes in their 20s and everybody remembers what their
• 5:39
  20s was like. You know, I was bulletproof.
• 5:42
  I could go out and, you know, kick back a couple drinks with
• 5:44
  my buddies and go in and hit a workout the next day and I'd be,
• 5:47
  you know, you're fine Nowadays you have a drink or stay up past
• 5:51
  midnight and you're and you're wrecked.
• 5:55
  So I think when you get to see these guys and their dedication
• 5:58
  alongside having careers, it's really inspiring I think for our
• 6:03
  CrossFit community to see that and have something to work
• 6:06
  towards and and it feel achievable in in some way.
• 6:09
  That has recently come to light for me and John, I'm I'm
• 6:13
  interested in you, how you feel about this.
• 6:15
  You're still under 30, right? I am 30.
• 6:18
  You're OK. So John's 30, I'm 33.
• 6:21
  We just had a kid and and we moved.
• 6:23
  All together well. Separate John.
• 6:25
  John, We. Separate families.
• 6:27
  We. We.
• 6:28
  Yeah. Yeah, but you know, I, I
• 6:31
  trained, you know, try to be competitive for years and now
• 6:35
  it's like cutting back to an hour and a half an hour a day.
• 6:38
  And like, I look at at your age divisions and I'm like, those
• 6:43
  are a lot more inspiring to me than they used to be that you
• 6:45
  guys have stayed this fit for this long.
• 6:47
  And you said the keyword there is have careers because I was
• 6:51
  like, dude, you really like you have to try hard.
• 6:53
  If you have a career and train at the same time.
• 6:57
  It's insane. So yeah, it's like I but I don't
• 7:01
  think you guys get enough shine for the amount of work that you
• 7:07
  will have to put in. That's that's very, that's very
• 7:09
  true. Yeah, it was really cool.
• 7:10
  I was sitting in the briefing and I just heard a lot of people
• 7:13
  talking and people were talking about their kids going back to
• 7:16
  school. Some of them were going back to
• 7:18
  middle school, high school. And then someone's like I had to
• 7:20
  take my daughter to and drop her off for college.
• 7:23
  And she was luckily at Ohio State and they're moving days
• 7:25
  this weekend. So just hearing people talking
• 7:28
  about their time, you know, as as parents, like I had, I think
• 7:32
  it was who was it that just told me that they they literally just
• 7:37
  had a kid right over semi final weekend and he was like, I'm not
• 7:43
  sure. Mark Quain Jones.
• 7:44
  He was like, I'm not even sure I'm going to I was going to
• 7:47
  compete and my wife's like, you know, set me out and let me go
• 7:50
  do it. And he went out and he competed
• 7:52
  and qualified and he's here and he and I look over and his wife
• 7:55
  standing there with a stroller. So it's just really cool to see.
• 7:59
  It's a lot of teamwork. I think there's a lot of people
• 8:01
  that go into these athletes being on the floor.
• 8:05
  A lot of them have a really supportive spouse and community
• 8:10
  behind them. I think there's going to be a
• 8:11
  lot of people down here from the CrossFit community.
• 8:14
  I think these people are bringing.
• 8:16
  Rudy Berger was telling me they have like 50 people coming from
• 8:18
  their gym. They're like 30 minutes, you
• 8:20
  know, away. So he's got some home field
• 8:22
  advantage and I just think it's going to be pretty exciting.
• 8:25
  Well, that's the thing that's been brought up.
• 8:27
  Sorry, John was during the games, the the attendance was
• 8:32
  down and it's been down. And we think a lot of it has to
• 8:36
  do with the masters, the teens, all the divisions are are gone
• 8:39
  besides the teams and the individuals.
• 8:42
  And, you know, hearing that he has 50, you know, 50 people from
• 8:46
  his gym coming out. And while I want you guys to
• 8:51
  have your own spotlight, I also want to bring you back into the
• 8:54
  fold to create the fitness festival that we used to have.
• 8:58
  Yeah, I thought. I always liked how it was set up
• 9:01
  and designed in a way where we kind of started the weekend and
• 9:05
  then it our finals where as everybody was coming in, I felt
• 9:08
  like people came in and were attracted to that.
• 9:10
  And I think in a perfect world they are together and I think
• 9:14
  our finals would be really fun to watch as a maybe even one of
• 9:19
  their workouts. Like I, I know they did it the
• 9:21
  one year we did the wall walks and thrusters in 2021 I believe
• 9:25
  it was. And we did 1098 all the way down
• 9:29
  to 1 and they did 108642. And I thought that was really
• 9:33
  great way of showing how we scale and modify workouts to
• 9:37
  meet the demands of any individual that walks in our
• 9:40
  gym. And here we are with the most
• 9:41
  elite individual, men and women and the masters community, and
• 9:45
  they're taking on the same workout, just slightly
• 9:47
  different. And I think that's really
• 9:49
  special. That's the beauty of like what
• 9:51
  this is all about. I think that if we could get
• 9:54
  back to that, I think people would would get behind it and be
• 9:57
  excited. But I think the athletes have to
• 9:59
  continue to show up. I think Ty Jenkins is going to
• 10:03
  be down here this weekend, which I was like, man, that's really
• 10:05
  cool. He was a teenager stepping into
• 10:08
  the spotlight and to come back and just, yeah, I get to get the
• 10:13
  get the opportunity to speak some life into the younger
• 10:15
  athletes that are coming up through.
• 10:17
  Like we need to have that because I think that's what
• 10:20
  feeds our CrossFit kind of ecosystem for people to want to
• 10:25
  show up and be part of it. And then also, I just think like
• 10:28
  if there's a lot of events, it doesn't make us as maybe as as
• 10:32
  appealing to show up to. If you have the opportunity to
• 10:35
  go to XY and Z and all these other events.
• 10:38
  You know, as opposed to when it was like open regionals games,
• 10:43
  there was only three times that you would see people as either
• 10:45
  an open announcement. You'd go to regionals if it was
• 10:48
  nearby, or you'd pack up your bag and you would show up to
• 10:51
  Carson, take your shirt off and let people know you you did
• 10:55
  CrossFit. Yeah.
• 10:59
  Do you think, do you think Masters would be opposed to
• 11:03
  their games starting on Wednesday and ending on Friday
• 11:09
  And like with an event that ended on the like the Friday
• 11:12
  night event, like like the thruster wall walk was the
• 11:15
  Friday night event. If that was their final, but
• 11:18
  they would have to start on Wednesday.
• 11:20
  That's that's a hard, that's hard right for like the middle
• 11:24
  of the week. Do you think it would be OK to
• 11:28
  do that? And then to create like we start
• 11:30
  with the masters and teams and then end on Sunday with the
• 11:34
  individuals and it's like a week long celebration of fitness
• 11:38
  rather than everybody split up. I I personally think it would be
• 11:43
  better to have everyone together but I think.
• 11:45
  I do too. I do.
• 11:46
  Too. But there needs to be a team put
• 11:48
  together. You know, I, I did the games in
• 11:50
  2023 as a Masters and it just kind of had it kind of felt like
• 11:58
  it was a second thought, like it didn't seem like there was a lot
• 12:01
  of intention put in it. The year that Baz programmed
• 12:05
  made me really excited. It made me want to sign up in
• 12:08
  2023 to do the masters because the workouts were really
• 12:12
  creative. And I feel like we've regressed
• 12:14
  a little bit in terms of skills specifically.
• 12:18
  We don't really get challenged with like the the high skilled
• 12:21
  gymnastics, but we went for Bill and well, we got we got we got
• 12:26
  went from being on like they they did the Elizabeth where
• 12:30
  they went across the P bars. They had handstand walking
• 12:33
  ramps. I think, I think they even had a
• 12:35
  couple pegboards. So they got to use some of those
• 12:38
  implements that that we see in the crossword case.
• 12:42
  But you know, the high ropes and, and like an mixed in with
• 12:46
  an 800 meter run. And I always felt like that's
• 12:49
  the kind of stuff that as a master's athlete, you're, you,
• 12:52
  you want to, to train for, you want to have the ability to, to
• 12:57
  showcase your handstand walking in those things that you've
• 12:59
  you've worked really hard on. And I think when you separate
• 13:03
  the two, maybe the resources are a bit less than at the CrossFit
• 13:08
  games when we're all together. It's not crazy to say like, hey,
• 13:11
  like, let's let these 35 to 39 year olds flip the flip that pig
• 13:15
  for the first time and put it at the end of the event.
• 13:16
  They got to flip it three times. Like something cool that just
• 13:19
  like makes you feel like you're not at your home gym.
• 13:23
  And I think that's the beauty of the CrossFit Games is bringing
• 13:28
  everyone together for that that celebration.
• 13:31
  But that just might be old old school old school of me to.
• 13:35
  I mean, I think there's a sweet spot where the 35 to 39 year
• 13:39
  olds can do the exact same event because I think it would be cool
• 13:43
  if one of y'all like got 5th or even one really.
• 13:48
  You'd have to be like super niche but like to be everybody,
• 13:51
  all of the individuals too. And it can be a one for one
• 13:54
  comparison with the 35 to 39 group and then it's scaled down
• 13:58
  from there in. Various points Dave used to do
• 14:02
  that occasionally like I I believe the one year we did
• 14:04
  Jackie, I think he gave the the women a 45 LB barbell or but
• 14:08
  like every now and again he'll put a workout in that.
• 14:10
  You can compare the men and the women.
• 14:11
  Even just like the row run event, we saw some some of the
• 14:14
  women really shine in that event and a lot of the endurance
• 14:18
  pieces. But I think whenever you have an
• 14:19
  opportunity to let the masters athletes come in and do a
• 14:22
  workout like like that, it starts to showcase across the
• 14:26
  board. Like, wow, you have this amazing
• 14:27
  performance. Like I remember Gee snatching
• 14:30
  something really crazy. Yeah, as a teenager.
• 14:33
  And I think we had a snatch that year.
• 14:34
  And I was like, what this, you know, this young kid just went
• 14:38
  out there and snatched 291. Like, that's insane.
• 14:41
  And. I think that's what's the same
• 14:45
  year, yeah. Yeah.
• 14:46
  So like when you see that you're like, man, the future of our
• 14:49
  sport is so bright. And you look at like these young
• 14:52
  athletes and you look at the the individuals in their prime and
• 14:55
  even just like to have the opportunity in some of those
• 14:58
  older age groups to do some of those things.
• 15:01
  I think that really is what keeps people showing up is
• 15:04
  those, it's those things that they can't do yet that that they
• 15:08
  want to be able to to do that makes them want to show up and
• 15:11
  continue trying. You talk about the, the young
• 15:15
  athletes coming up and like obviously when you started it
• 15:18
  was significantly different, right?
• 15:20
  Like everybody had a job. Many of you guys all started
• 15:24
  opening gyms. It feels like that's not the
• 15:27
  case now, like everybody is now a professional athlete.
• 15:31
  They're not, you know, they're not a gym owner, they're not
• 15:34
  really as part of the the affiliate community.
• 15:38
  Yeah. What would kind of your message
• 15:40
  be to young athletes who are thinking about getting in there
• 15:42
  and like, should they, you know, consider kind of being part of
• 15:46
  that, that affiliation that that community doing workouts with
• 15:50
  the group, maybe even in owning a gym, getting your L1?
• 15:54
  Yeah, You know, one of the things that I see in the sport
• 15:58
  right now is that we, we've got, we've created this like I have
• 16:02
  to be all in as a full time athlete focusing just on that.
• 16:08
  And I, I understand that because I, I got to see the sport
• 16:11
  progress. Like it went for me being a part
• 16:13
  time or a full time teacher and working out in an hour and a
• 16:18
  half. That was about all I did my
• 16:19
  first year. And then every year it started
• 16:21
  the the time started to add up if you wanted to continue to
• 16:24
  evolve in the sport. And it's what made me, you know,
• 16:27
  originally want to to open a gym was I was like, cool, like I
• 16:31
  want to pursue this CrossFit thing.
• 16:32
  Like it's very much like being a health and PE teacher, except
• 16:35
  the people that are walking to my gym, they want to be there
• 16:38
  and they're going to be excited about the things that I'm I'm
• 16:40
  teaching them. But as we've gotten further and
• 16:43
  further along, you, it's, it's really easy to see like athletes
• 16:48
  being 100% focused on just just that.
• 16:51
  And I, I would encourage people to find something to do
• 16:54
  alongside being an athlete that you want to segue into being
• 16:58
  your career at some point. Like you will have a career in
• 17:01
  CrossFit, but it is not a career in a sense of like something
• 17:05
  that's going to provide for your family someday for the rest of
• 17:08
  your life. And I think that a lot of these
• 17:12
  younger athletes that are coming in, they, you know, some of them
• 17:14
  aren't even going to college. And we know how much we, we grew
• 17:18
  through those, you know, those four or five years in College of
• 17:22
  learning and understanding. And you know, these guys are
• 17:24
  given, you know, money and fame and spotlight, which is awesome.
• 17:28
  But it's like that that's very, it can be very short lived.
• 17:32
  And the more you rely on just that one thing, the more
• 17:35
  pressure starts to build year after year.
• 17:38
  And I think that's where we're starting to see some of the like
• 17:41
  the the mental side getting very challenging for a lot of these
• 17:44
  athletes because everything is riding on their performance for
• 17:48
  them to be able to continue to be a full time athlete.
• 17:51
  But if you have that other little thing that you're working
• 17:53
  on. And that's why I've always said
• 17:54
  I'm a gym owner that's a CrossFit athlete, not a CrossFit
• 17:57
  athlete that's a gym owner because of that crop, you know,
• 18:00
  being that gym owner and having that alongside of me.
• 18:04
  When life gets hard and you know, you come down on a rope
• 18:07
  and blow off your knee and that's it.
• 18:08
  Like, you know, but it's as simple, it's as simple as that.
• 18:12
  Like, you know, it could be that it could be and it could happen.
• 18:16
  You know, on a on a box job, there's like a million different
• 18:18
  things that it could happen on. That's devastating and
• 18:22
  heartbreaking. And I think that if you have
• 18:25
  something that you're working alongside that can help lift you
• 18:28
  up out of those moments. And I think it also makes you a
• 18:32
  little, a little, how do I say not reckless on the floor, but a
• 18:38
  little less to lose in a sense. Like I I just feel like you
• 18:41
  you'll carry a little more swag and a little less stress.
• 18:47
  I do want to ask you about the Masters Games at some point
• 18:49
  tonight, but one of the things I wonder is like there's this big
• 18:54
  push into, or there has been prior to this point, the big
• 18:58
  push into professionalizing the sport.
• 19:00
  And I always want I, I sort of see like this ceiling of where,
• 19:05
  you know, how much CrossFit pro athletes can be just fully
• 19:12
  funded by being a CrossFit Games athlete.
• 19:15
  And I wonder if if you sort of see it in a similar light, like,
• 19:19
  you know, needing to have a career outside, needing to do
• 19:21
  things outside of the gym and not just CrossFit, or if you do
• 19:26
  think that they can just be full time athletes.
• 19:29
  I think if you're gonna be a full time athlete, like setting,
• 19:32
  setting some parameters on like how long you're gonna go and
• 19:35
  work towards that and achieve that cuz that can start to drag
• 19:38
  on. I also think that there are a
• 19:41
  lot of people around these athletes that are allowing them
• 19:45
  to be on the floor. A lot of spouses that are
• 19:48
  working really hard behind the scenes.
• 19:50
  I think that there are coaches, I think that athletes have a lot
• 19:54
  of high expectation for their for their coaches and they want
• 19:56
  them to want it as much as they do.
• 19:58
  And I don't think that anyone is ever going to want it as bad as
• 20:02
  you do. So it's really difficult to, you
• 20:05
  know, to have that for such a long period of time without like
• 20:10
  other things. Playing an impact on that and,
• 20:13
  and impacting your, your year. And it's like, sometimes you get
• 20:18
  it right with your training and sometimes you don't.
• 20:20
  And you're going to go through highs and lows.
• 20:22
  You're going to have, you're going to have a story throughout
• 20:27
  that journey. And that story, I think, can be
• 20:31
  lifted up with community and the right people around you or if
• 20:35
  you're all by yourself and everything's relying on you and
• 20:39
  you start to carry more and more stress.
• 20:41
  And I think that's where people get burnt out.
• 20:43
  I think we're seeing a lot of athletes burning out a lot
• 20:45
  quicker than maybe they have in the past.
• 20:47
  And I don't know if that's like the pressure to, you know, be
• 20:51
  the be the best in the world. Is it like that pursuit of like,
• 20:54
  hey, it's a pass fail. If I don't win, I fail and only
• 20:58
  one person gets the win. So like does everybody walk,
• 21:00
  walk away failing on the on the year?
• 21:03
  So you got to find those like little victories along the way.
• 21:05
  You got to build yourself up a team.
• 21:07
  And I do think like having something that you're working on
• 21:09
  alongside as maybe you want to call it an exit strategy, like
• 21:13
  something that you're doing. And I think it the more you can
• 21:16
  do that thing and invest it inside the community and and it
• 21:21
  be building something inside of the community and serving and
• 21:24
  giving back. I think that's where you really
• 21:26
  start to see our community starting to grow and come back
• 21:30
  together as if if we can find ways to serve one another rather
• 21:34
  than just serving our ability to be a champion.
• 21:38
  And, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
• 21:41
  Like if that's your goal, then go, you know, go get it like
• 21:44
  100%. But just know like there's risks
• 21:48
  associated with any direction you're you're moving.
• 21:52
  It ain't all sunshine and rainbows, as somebody famous
• 21:55
  once said. Yeah.
• 21:57
  Yeah, as As for the actual? Match Tyler.
• 21:59
  It it was, well, Rocky said it. I was gonna say.
• 22:05
  He goes somebody famous. Somebody famous said that I was,
• 22:08
  well, I I. Couldn't remember if it was
• 22:10
  Paulie. I couldn't remember if Paulie
• 22:13
  originally said it or Rocky said it.
• 22:15
  It's. In the newer newer 1.
• 22:18
  As for the actual Masters games, I'm not going to actually talk
• 22:22
  about the actual games, but like how competing this weekend, you
• 22:27
  now have two children, wife. How does that compare to, what,
• 22:32
  13 years ago? Like just your mindset going
• 22:35
  into what your goals are, how it is to compete with a family
• 22:38
  there watching you. Yeah.
• 22:40
  It's funny, It's funny. I told my wife when I came home,
• 22:43
  I was like, I'm sitting in the briefing and I'm like, I was
• 22:46
  pretty relaxed. Like when I got there and it was
• 22:48
  like, I'm sitting there and people started like talking and
• 22:50
  asking questions. And you know, this briefing
• 22:53
  turned into like it was supposed to be probably about an hour
• 22:56
  turned into like 2 1/2 three hours.
• 22:58
  And people are like asking questions and things are getting
• 23:00
  like not heated, but like, you know, people wanted like, is it
• 23:03
  black? Is it is it black or white?
• 23:05
  Like it can't be in between. And then I'm like.
• 23:07
  Yeah, it can't be in between. Being like real, real chill.
• 23:12
  So like, like it's just, it's hard you, you go from, you know,
• 23:16
  spending a decade in the sport and like your goal is to win the
• 23:19
  CrossFit Games. Like that 100% is something that
• 23:22
  was in my head each day at some point to now.
• 23:27
  Life is definitely a lot different.
• 23:29
  And, you know, even when I, after I got married, I felt like
• 23:33
  things got elevated in a sense of like I had, I felt like it
• 23:36
  got easier, like my wife was more supportive.
• 23:38
  And, but like when you started adding kids in the mix, I feel
• 23:42
  like, I, I feel that, that serving right?
• 23:44
  Like, I feel like I can feel God teaching me patience and
• 23:48
  kindness and, and the stress that comes along with, you know,
• 23:51
  not getting the perfect night's sleep.
• 23:53
  And you go from 10 years of waking up and like, like trying
• 23:57
  to create the perfect day of training to a little bit of
• 24:02
  unknown and unknowable of getting woken up in the middle
• 24:05
  of the night and you know, I'm having a bad dream or I'm sick
• 24:09
  and not feeling good. 2023 when I went and did the Masters
• 24:13
  games, I, it was the first time in all my career that I got
• 24:15
  sick. Like I was so sick going and I
• 24:18
  had not eaten anything for probably about 5 days and I was
• 24:22
  sick as a dog and and my daughter's just like I just want
• 24:24
  to watch daddy work out. I.
• 24:26
  Was like right? OK.
• 24:31
  Big Fella's going to go do the best he can.
• 24:33
  So it's it's just different. I think that it's a little less
• 24:39
  stressful, it's a little more fun.
• 24:43
  The community here and seeing just all the different walks of
• 24:46
  life and knowing that every single one of these people has,
• 24:51
  you know, their story. They have their kids, they have
• 24:53
  their job, they have their, you know, their family and a lot of
• 24:57
  things going on behind the scenes.
• 24:59
  And it's, you know, it's not just me and I, and I think when
• 25:02
  you see that it, it kind of changes your mindset a little
• 25:05
  bit as opposed to like, if I was an individual, I'd be like,
• 25:08
  these guys are getting perfect nights of sleep.
• 25:10
  You know, their sleep score is probably 100.
• 25:14
  And that's, that's tough to compete against.
• 25:16
  But here's that it's it's going to be a lot of fun and I know
• 25:19
  that we'll walk away with a fun, fun story to to talk about
• 25:24
  someday. Do you think, do you think
• 25:25
  CrossFit, and I'm not, I'm not alluding to the new, the new
• 25:30
  media that CrossFit HP was, yeah, the new media campaign.
• 25:36
  But do you think Masters in a way brings CrossFit back to its
• 25:40
  roots? Because I would argue how the
• 25:46
  age group athletes go about their day because they they do
• 25:49
  have to work, they do have families, they do, it's not
• 25:52
  there. They don't wake up.
• 25:54
  And that's all they think about is training.
• 25:58
  And that's how it was back in 2009, 2010.
• 26:03
  You know, everybody had jobs, but they got everybody got
• 26:05
  together to for this one thing. And because you had a like
• 26:09
  minded hobby that you love to do.
• 26:13
  And then it progressively got more and more, oh, I can't make
• 26:18
  the games unless this is every single thing I do is revolves
• 26:20
  around making the games. But it's not that way at the age
• 26:25
  at age groups. Do you think in a way it brings
• 26:27
  it back to what it used to be? I do, I think the age group and
• 26:32
  highlighting those athletes allows people to see like it can
• 26:35
  be done and if that's something you want to pursue and work
• 26:38
  towards, you know it is it is achievable.
• 26:45
  Like mindset wise you see what? I'm, I'm yeah, I definitely, I
• 26:49
  definitely see what you're saying.
• 26:50
  John's trying to build a commercial.
• 26:52
  I'm not, I'm not. You alluded to it too, Tyler.
• 26:57
  Like, no, I would say my mindset has has shifted and I'm not
• 27:00
  training to be a games athlete. But it turned into working out a
• 27:04
  lot too. I got these side hustles that I
• 27:07
  do now and I don't work out near as much.
• 27:09
  Speaking of which, Scott, are you interested in on Being on a
• 27:12
  good team or just stop? Stop.
• 27:16
  Stop it. Right now.
• 27:17
  I'll go. Ahead, when I, when I look at
• 27:23
  just like the responsibilities that these athletes have, I
• 27:26
  think these stories are really inspiring.
• 27:29
  I think they, when those 50 people show up from that gym and
• 27:33
  they watch Rudy on the floor, knowing a little bit more about
• 27:37
  who he is as a person and what his responsibilities are at
• 27:39
  home, I think that's inspiring to that entire community.
• 27:43
  And I think that when we are able to highlight those things,
• 27:46
  it, it does lead to people wanting to keep showing up.
• 27:51
  And I think we're at this point now where, you know, there's I
• 27:55
  started it. I mean, I started back in 2008.
• 27:58
  I was like 19 when I first did my first CrossFit workout, but
• 28:03
  you know, we're, you know, well past that.
• 28:05
  We're over a decade in and you're starting to see this
• 28:07
  group that was there in their 20s and they're now getting into
• 28:11
  their 30s. And, and the, the CrossFit, I
• 28:15
  would say the athlete has changed and evolved a lot.
• 28:19
  And I think that, like you said, John, that you said that like it
• 28:22
  does, like is it, is it still achievable?
• 28:24
  And I think people need to understand that it is.
• 28:27
  And I think that the perception that's put out there for the
• 28:30
  elite athletes is how these athletes are training.
• 28:34
  And they're not. And I can tell you they're not
• 28:36
  training like that. I think that you can train, you
• 28:39
  know, you could spend 30 minutes in the morning doing a just pure
• 28:43
  conditioning, mono structural movement and then go do a
• 28:45
  CrossFit hour class and you can get it done.
• 28:48
  And, and I think in time, if you're focused and understand
• 28:51
  what you need to work on, you could, you could show up here
• 28:55
  or, or progressively get closer to being here.
• 28:59
  And I think most people just don't want to put that, that
• 29:02
  time in that, that effort in because it, I think they see the
• 29:06
  elite athletes and what they're eating and doing and, and all
• 29:09
  this dedication that it takes to get there.
• 29:11
  And it does take dedication to get there.
• 29:13
  And it does take time, But I think you can do it if you
• 29:16
  structure things well. I think a lot of athletes waste
• 29:18
  time in the gym when you hear about like, like you really
• 29:22
  can't work out all day long. If you're working out all day
• 29:24
  long, you're probably like you're on.
• 29:26
  Your phone for half of it. Yeah, for sure you're you.
• 29:29
  Go ahead and check out your Instagram readings and I would
• 29:33
  bet they're probably probably pretty high.
• 29:35
  How? Much.
• 29:36
  How much are you training these days?
• 29:39
  I train in the morning. I usually do like a like a
• 29:42
  little bit of conditioning just on a machine.
• 29:44
  So like almost like right out of bed, I'll wake up and try to eat
• 29:47
  something small and do like a 30-40 minute conditioning
• 29:51
  session. That's usually just the machine.
• 29:53
  And then I spend probably 90 minutes in the afternoon and
• 29:57
  most of it's warming up, like 30 minutes of warming up.
• 30:00
  So I mean, I would say it's probably, yeah, it's probably
• 30:04
  not much more than two hours including warm up and and cool
• 30:08
  down. That's it for me.
• 30:09
  I get to the gym and I'm like and an hour and a half goes by
• 30:13
  and I'm like how did I only get 2 pieces in and I'm like shit, I
• 30:16
  warmed up for 25 minutes. All right, 22 questions for you.
• 30:21
  I'll let you get going. Will you stay on the on the
• 30:25
  podium at the end of this weekend?
• 30:27
  Yeah, for sure. That's always I wouldn't.
• 30:30
  What if he said no? I'm not going to do it.
• 30:34
  Never know, never know. And then have you visited any
• 30:37
  malls yet in Columbus? I've heard they're very nice.
• 30:40
  Malls. Listen, Columbus, OH has a very
• 30:43
  nice mall, OK? I I want to say it's called the
• 30:46
  East Easthound Easton. Can you, can you, we've had
• 30:52
  there's a fight. There's a fight in the in our
• 30:54
  little thread, I think. Columbus, OH, you know.
• 30:59
  Well, I think you love. It I think Columbus, OH is a
• 31:03
  beautiful city. And then some of them and some
• 31:06
  of them and some of the guys in the chat think it's not a
• 31:09
  beautiful city. Can you give us your opinion of
• 31:11
  Columbus? Ohio, there are definitely
• 31:12
  beautiful parts in the city. Parts there are definitely
• 31:16
  beautiful, but there are some I think I, you know, I drove down
• 31:18
  a couple streets that I was like.
• 31:21
  How you did that with every city?
• 31:22
  Well, that's everywhere. Yeah.
• 31:23
  I mean, that's, that's definitely everywhere.
• 31:25
  I I'd love to stay Christian to the mall.
• 31:28
  He would love. It's coming from Cleveland
• 31:29
  though, so come on. From Cleveland, yeah.
• 31:31
  So. But I'll tell you what I love
• 31:34
  her to. Columbus.
• 31:37
  I do love the fact that it's in Columbus.
• 31:40
  I definitely think that that's a, you know, a great place.
• 31:44
  I would I it makes total sense with Rogue right there.
• 31:46
  I mean, wouldn't it be nice to not have to ship anything and
• 31:49
  just drive it down the street? Right.
• 31:51
  Put it in. I thought we were going to get
• 31:52
  some really cool equipment this year because I was like, it's
• 31:55
  right there. Right.
• 31:58
  I do have 111 additional question, sorry.
• 32:00
  Spin, sure. So how does it feel to do
• 32:05
  weighted pistol squats since 2014?
• 32:08
  That was the last time I did them.
• 32:09
  I. Knew.
• 32:10
  It I still have not. I still have not.
• 32:14
  It's, you know, it's funny, my training has has definitely
• 32:19
  changed a lot. And I'm, I think what I'm most
• 32:21
  excited about this weekend is to see how my training carries over
• 32:26
  to doing some things that I have not been doing much of.
• 32:29
  And that's like a perfect example of something is like I
• 32:31
  haven't done a weighted pistol since then.
• 32:33
  I haven't ran outside since we ran a 5K in 2023, but I have
• 32:36
  been running on the runner. I have been doing a lot of
• 32:38
  conditioning in the morning so I get a chance to see like this
• 32:41
  did my aerobic capacity in this way of training and doing I get
• 32:46
  a lot of biker. Is that going to help my
• 32:48
  running? Like am I going to do well on
• 32:49
  the run? Same with the clean and jerk.
• 32:51
  Like up until last about 10 days ago I have not done anything
• 32:56
  over. I think it was like I did 1
• 32:58
  heavy clean for legends to qualify with my wife.
• 33:01
  But other than that nothing over like 225.
• 33:04
  But I've done a lot of front squatting and I've done my
• 33:06
  jerks. And so like, it's cool to see,
• 33:08
  like, how are my knees going to hold up?
• 33:11
  Training and working around it and then being able to take all
• 33:14
  those things that I learned and figured out over the last, you
• 33:17
  know, 12 weeks and start to sprinkle them in for our
• 33:21
  community and our people that have, you know, some of those
• 33:23
  issues. And, and I think that's how our
• 33:26
  sport continues to evolve. We continue to try things and
• 33:30
  then go back and be able to share them with others.
• 33:34
  Awesome. Well, Scott, I don't want to
• 33:35
  take you any more time of you tonight, but thanks for joining
• 33:39
  us and good luck this weekend. Yeah, I have a question for you
• 33:42
  guys. What do you what do you guys
• 33:43
  think of the the weekend in the programming?
• 33:45
  Then I'll I'll let you go. I think you're going to win
• 33:48
  event 7 and then that's all I'm going to say.
• 33:52
  OK. What was the event?
• 33:55
  7 is the overhead squats and. Boxes the one you're going to
• 33:58
  win. Don't worry about it.
• 34:01
  We have all just in our briefing, we did find out we're
• 34:04
  stepping down off of 30 inches. Oh.
• 34:07
  That's trash. Oh man, I was basing my whole
• 34:10
  thing off of that but. It's so.
• 34:13
  Hard. It's so hard to step down from a
• 34:16
  30 inch box it. Really is, dude.
• 34:18
  When they told Colton he had to do that, I felt so bad man
• 34:21
  'cause I was like this don't feel good for me.
• 34:24
  I like, I like almost can't, especially like on a tight day
• 34:27
  where I'm like, yeah, my hips don't feel good.
• 34:30
  It is like really hard to do go. YouTube Go to YouTube box jump,
• 34:35
  30 inch box jump step down. You can't find a video.
• 34:39
  But he does it. I have a whole bunch for it.
• 34:42
  My, my opinions on the program are are are completely colored
• 34:45
  by watching Hiller's video and total obstruction of it.
• 34:50
  I there there are some stuff like he has some major issues
• 34:53
  with it. I, I won't say that I'm that
• 34:57
  far, but I do think it's some of it's a little goofy.
• 34:59
  I do not understand for life me why you guys are doing weighted
• 35:02
  pistols. Number one, 'cause I just don't
• 35:05
  think they're a good movement. It's cool to watch, but it like
• 35:09
  I just don't think it's worth it.
• 35:10
  You can program something else around it.
• 35:12
  I think I get the intent of what they were trying to do, but I
• 35:15
  think the execution at large is is a little weird.
• 35:18
  I think their thought process is that we want to test mobility
• 35:21
  for masters. And and that's, I mean, I'm
• 35:24
  serious because I think, I think mobility should pay off.
• 35:28
  Like if you're super mobile as an older athlete, you should get
• 35:33
  points for that, You should get benefit for that.
• 35:34
  And I think that's the the thinking behind it.
• 35:37
  Maybe I'm wrong, but I could see that being a thing, yeah.
• 35:41
  Yeah. I mean if flexibility is a
• 35:43
  component of fitness for sure. I go back.
• 35:46
  To I go back to what we've been talking about just the regular
• 35:50
  individual CrossFit Games and teams is I just I still miss the
• 35:54
  outdoor like doing something different.
• 35:57
  And I feel like, and I have a viewer comment here we'll talk
• 36:01
  about in a bit, but like the you're finding the fittest in
• 36:06
  the gym. We're trying to find fittest in
• 36:09
  on earth. And like, I feel like that
• 36:11
  requires something outside the box and give you guys something
• 36:14
  that's like really cool different that you can't do
• 36:17
  inside of a gym, right? Because you could do all of
• 36:20
  these workouts inside your gym, but like to have that ability to
• 36:25
  do stuff outside to do some like again, some odd, odd elements,
• 36:30
  things that you've not seen before, I think is just really
• 36:32
  cool. Run.
• 36:33
  Yeah, we're gonna go for a little run.
• 36:35
  Yeah. You can't please with
• 36:37
  programming, Scott, if they don't like do the freaking I
• 36:40
  don't know capital you. Have to do the capital every
• 36:44
  year, yeah. I thought I thought the year Baz
• 36:47
  program was really creative, like it was really refreshing
• 36:51
  with new ideas and new things. Aside from the I would say the
• 36:57
  the crossovers, I thought that was the that was the only one.
• 37:00
  I was like this is like. You gotta take the good with the
• 37:02
  bad, man with the capital. You got these crossovers?
• 37:06
  Yeah, it's, it's easy and it's easy.
• 37:08
  I, I was actually talking to Baz about this.
• 37:11
  I said, you know, everybody wants to believe that what
• 37:16
  they've been training is CrossFit.
• 37:18
  So when you show up and you don't get the things that you
• 37:21
  were training for, you're like, this is in CrossFit.
• 37:22
  Like, what the heck are we doing?
• 37:24
  Like, I didn't sign up for this, but yeah, yeah, it'll be, it'll
• 37:28
  be a fun weekend. I think the only thing that I
• 37:31
  was not a huge fan of is like Amraps, like at the CrossFit
• 37:34
  Games, I think Andrew had. Had mentioned, Yeah.
• 37:37
  It's it's it makes the event completely boring as soon as you
• 37:40
  start. Yeah, I thought it would have
• 37:42
  been cool. I had mentioned to a couple
• 37:43
  people sitting by. I was like it would have been
• 37:45
  cool if they just said OK Max calorie on the row until the 18
• 37:49
  minute mark. Yeah.
• 37:51
  Or something once you get through it.
• 37:53
  Once you get through it and then just go for it, yeah.
• 37:56
  I would, I wouldn't mind an AMRAP if it was, if literally
• 38:00
  one person was able to do one round and so like like if it's
• 38:05
  that. You got.
• 38:06
  To you got to test it, you got to test it real well, but like
• 38:10
  if it's a 10 minute AMRAP and it's almost impossible to do one
• 38:14
  round so then if you had one guy or one girl get to do the first
• 38:19
  thing again like that could be exciting. 14.4 was kind of like
• 38:23
  that in the open, but it's a games version of that.
• 38:27
  But think of like the old days, like we regionals would always
• 38:31
  have that one workout where there would only be like 10 guys
• 38:34
  that would finish. It's always like a chipper, like
• 38:37
  the hundreds. The Hundreds.
• 38:39
  Like the hundreds Chipper, I think there was Rich and I were
• 38:42
  the own. There might have been one other
• 38:44
  person that finished that workout and I think.
• 38:46
  Murkowski was doing it. He finished it.
• 38:49
  No, no, no, he did not fit. He did not compete.
• 38:51
  That yeah, I'm saying I think it was before him, but if he was in
• 38:55
  there, he he finished. It I don't know, they're,
• 38:57
  they're 100. He finished every single.
• 38:59
  One, I promise. But yeah, I think like, but I
• 39:04
  always thought that was cool. Like just put an aggressive time
• 39:06
  cap and then you at least have a a checkpoint.
• 39:09
  I always feel like Amraps, it's like you're not really sure
• 39:12
  where people are going to finish.
• 39:14
  So it's like a safe, it's a safe thing to put in.
• 39:17
  Syndicate had one like that. In AMRAP, no.
• 39:20
  No, no, like the hundreds was a play on the hundreds.
• 39:23
  Yeah, that was cool. That was this past year, right?
• 39:25
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That one was fun to watch.
• 39:28
  In in an AMRAP workout, I mean, like you guys end up, I feel
• 39:31
  like, and tell me if I'm wrong, I feel like you guys end up
• 39:34
  going into it like you kind of know what you can pull off as
• 39:38
  far as pace. Find the guy who is in the lead
• 39:41
  or you try to get in the lead and then just barely stay there
• 39:44
  the whole time. Like you don't want to do any
• 39:46
  more work than you have. And so you're not even seeing
• 39:49
  the true representation of your fitness anyway.
• 39:51
  Well here's what's crazy is like you could like we could see in
• 39:55
  this 18 minute AMRAP, we could see half the field not get
• 39:59
  through the pistols. And or, or maybe maybe it takes
• 40:03
  them a while and they get onto the road, but then half the
• 40:06
  field does another 50 kettlebell hang cleans.
• 40:09
  Yeah, which like an extra 50 kettlebell hang cleans before
• 40:12
  carrying a 200 LB bag later at night.
• 40:14
  Are gonna that's a that's a big that's a big difference.
• 40:17
  So it's, it's, I think those are like the little details and I
• 40:20
  think when people, you know, talk about programming, and I
• 40:23
  think that's one thing that Dave has done really well in the
• 40:26
  years is like, I do think he has a really strong understanding of
• 40:28
  like how one workout is going to impact another workout.
• 40:33
  And, you know, obviously with his testing process and the
• 40:35
  people he's bringing in to do it, You, you, you see that, you
• 40:38
  know, throughout the weekend. But I think everybody's always
• 40:40
  going to have a, you know, a workout that maybe slips on by
• 40:45
  and kind of crossing your fingers, like, I hope somebody
• 40:49
  could get this done. You, you make a good point
• 40:51
  though. If I knew that I was trashed at
• 40:53
  pistols, I would just not go hard at all.
• 40:57
  And then you know you're going to get to them and just do one
• 41:01
  or two and then that's just what it's going to be, right?
• 41:03
  But you wouldn't have to work hard at all.
• 41:06
  So if somebody was really good at pistols and they're pushing
• 41:09
  for 18 minutes, 100% that would affect the rest of the
• 41:13
  competition. Yeah, we have a three minute
• 41:16
  AMRAP too that my I'm concerned is going to be a lot of ties.
• 41:20
  There's no tiebreaker for it and we're pushing deadlifts and
• 41:23
  pushing a sled. I'm hoping.
• 41:25
  That it will. But like I just, I'm not sure
• 41:27
  with 30 guys like. Is the sled like 10 foot
• 41:29
  sections? 20 feet down, 20 feet back so.
• 41:34
  And no points in between. There's they're 5 foot, it's 80.
• 41:38
  Foot so. The yeah, it's 80 feet, but you
• 41:40
  get 5 five foot increments. So I'm hoping it'll start to
• 41:44
  start to space out a little bit, but we don't know what the
• 41:47
  weight is on the sled yet, so we'll find.
• 41:49
  Out. Yeah.
• 41:50
  What if it's an? Empty.
• 41:51
  I hope it's an empty. Sled.
• 41:53
  I hope it's an empty sled too, because at least that would.
• 41:55
  What's the weight on the dead? Then you're just it's 3 minutes,
• 41:58
  so it's you're just flying. Think 800 meter for time flying.
• 42:02
  Right, it's. 3 deadlifts and an 80 foot sled push for three
• 42:08
  minutes. So yeah, I transit there's and
• 42:11
  there's got to be, there's a lot of transitions.
• 42:13
  Still so I hope it sprints. Yeah, heavy stud would ruin that
• 42:16
  event. I think so.
• 42:17
  Too. Yeah, you're right.
• 42:18
  I think it has to be like that's, you know, if you were
• 42:20
  programming that for your class, that's how you would program it.
• 42:23
  Heavy deadlifts Sprint a slit, so.
• 42:25
  Yeah, sounds like a workout. I would.
• 42:27
  Not I I programmed all the workouts, variations of the
• 42:30
  workouts for our gym. I always try to give our gym
• 42:32
  like a little bit of a taste of like what we do.
• 42:36
  Even when I was at the games, I felt like the games were
• 42:38
  actually easier to put in in the classes than the mask, than the
• 42:42
  masters, believe it or not. Like some of the.
• 42:44
  This year, this. This year specifically, like it
• 42:46
  was very simple and and and just easy to follows.
• 42:51
  It was fun. I thought they did a great year,
• 42:53
  great job on the individual side this year.
• 42:56
  How did you change the snatch workout for class?
• 42:58
  The snatch you. Just lowered the weight.
• 43:00
  Right. You just lowered the weight.
• 43:01
  I just wondered what the weight? What?
• 43:03
  You lowered the weight to 90. 5. 65130. 9 you could go.
• 43:06
  You could go real light, yeah. OK, cool.
• 43:10
  Scott, I appreciate it. Good luck tomorrow and then the
• 43:12
  rest of the weekend. Thanks guys.
• 43:14
  We're going, Scott. Good luck.
• 43:18
  Scott Pantry. There we go.
• 43:22
  I think you had him on a lot longer than you intended to.
• 43:24
  Have I did. I did.
• 43:26
  Hey, he was good. I appreciate.
• 43:28
  Scott. No, I know he's, he's great.
• 43:30
  He's. Good.
• 43:31
  All right. Rest of the show got some viewer
• 43:35
  comments you guys need to. We had some really good
• 43:38
  comments, but not a lot of comments, so make sure you throw
• 43:40
  those. In it up.
• 43:41
  For next. Week.
• 43:42
  These are rookie numbers. I went back through to our
• 43:46
  January 1st episode and pulled all of our predictions for 2025,
• 43:50
  and we're going to see how well we have done scared, and then
• 43:58
  we'll do some blind rankings and then we'll finish up with
• 44:00
  something I don't know. All right.
• 44:02
  First up, were your Kais comments not working for half
• 44:06
  the time? Yes, they weren't.
• 44:08
  They weren't. I had weighed one comment and I
• 44:10
  almost thought of like, I'll go in and go back out and like, see
• 44:14
  I and then they just all appeared.
• 44:16
  Yeah. So.
• 44:16
  If we didn't pull up your comments, it's because we didn't
• 44:21
  see them for half the time and then.
• 44:22
  I pulled up. YouTube because I was like, what
• 44:24
  the? Hell little show comments on
• 44:26
  stage. I almost clicked that and I'm
• 44:28
  like I'm just going to wait till Scotts off just in case.
• 44:30
  That like. Happened because I didn't know
• 44:31
  what would happen if I pressed it so you.
• 44:35
  Mean this one, this one here. Is that what happens?
• 44:38
  Yeah. OK, so so that's that.
• 44:40
  That wouldn't have been that bad, but I didn't know what was
• 44:42
  going to happen. So I just like, I'll just wait.
• 44:43
  Till I I started freaking out because I didn't know if we were
• 44:46
  actually on. I was like, it shows that we're
• 44:47
  live. That's what I was.
• 44:49
  Wondering 0 comments and it doesn't show any viewers.
• 44:51
  I was like, oh man. Stream yard go yeah he goes
• 44:54
  screwing with shit sometimes they've.
• 44:55
  Done some upgrades and I think they probably, I don't know if
• 44:58
  something was messed up. Anyway, back to viewer comments.

  So let's see. You could do that too.
• 47:07
  It's up to you guys. That guy doesn't.
• 47:09
  That guy hates me. Whoever this person is, he's he.
• 47:11
  I don't think he's ever done a positive comment, ever.
• 47:14
  I think he's just a very sad person.
• 47:15
  He's a nice guy. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's on
• 47:19
  Reddit. He's one of those people.
• 47:22
  You know what I'm talking about? You know how?
• 47:23
  Much. Just how much?
• 47:24
  Just to get Tyler and Spin Standy throwing out $499.
• 47:28
  And a butt. Is this PBS?
• 47:31
  It could be, Could be they did well.
• 47:34
  By you they that's what I. Barbara, every quarter they
• 47:37
  would do like their fundraiser and hold you hostage so you
• 47:39
  couldn't watch Sesame Street. So, yeah, all right, Funk Zone,
• 47:49
  there's there's there's a way to sell the barbell that isn't
• 47:54
  shitting on healthcare. The doctors are doing their
• 47:57
  best. Crush big insurance.
• 48:00
  Speaking of Speaking of crush big insurance, CrossFit, medical
• 48:04
  societies, community care, you can scan the QR code right down
• 48:07
  there and get better health insurance alternative.
• 48:13
  So. I don't what did he want to
• 48:16
  clip. Something about the WFP?
• 48:19
  Oh OK dude. Crush big insurance.
• 48:23
  This shirt is about the big crush me.
• 48:25
  This thing is so small. It's a large.
• 48:27
  I was like, Oh my God. Dang, got that daddy weight.
• 48:32
  Yeah, I've lost like 7 lbs. Cool Tyler.
• 48:38
  I wish I could do that and I can't and it's really
• 48:42
  frustrating. 2O four has been a wall, and it has never been like
• 48:46
  that before. Stop eating this cake.
• 48:50
  I think mine is like muscle mass 'cause I'm not training the same
• 48:54
  man anymore or it's inflammation.
• 48:57
  Yeah, if it's muscle mass then that shirt and shirt should not
• 49:00
  be as tight as it is. Peter Schachtler.
• 49:05
  Schachteler. Peter Schachteler when the games
• 49:08
  is just gym shit man you guys we find the best Crossfitter not
• 49:13
  the fittest on earth. You got it.
• 49:19
  The CrossFit Games is not about finding the best.
• 49:21
  CrossFit Vicky Vicky 999 to not cover the.
• 49:25
  WFP. He knows what's up.
• 49:27
  So is. That.
• 49:27
  The running price to not cover it.
• 49:30
  Who wins? Who wins We need now it needs to
• 49:34
  be 1010 dollars. Because.
• 49:38
  We have, we have, we have a net negative right now on covering
• 49:43
  the WF the all the way. Beijing can cover US guaranteed
• 49:49
  4.52 mil so dude. I'm crazy cool dude and I want
• 49:56
  Caleb to suck so bad. So bad.
• 49:58
  I've never like been so and I, you know, I'm a Vikings fan, die
• 50:02
  hard Vikings fan. So it's just, it's just perfect
• 50:05
  for me to root against him. He's the reason the Vikings got
• 50:09
  male cheerleaders and I hate it. I want to see what, pardon my
• 50:13
  take, should be coming out with an episode tonight.
• 50:16
  And I. Want.
• 50:17
  To see what they say. Make it change.
• 50:21
  Oh, let's go. This worked out perfect, man.
• 50:24
  Oh my goodness. Oh my.
• 50:27
  God keep it coming guys, we don't want to cover it.
• 50:30
  We need your help to not cover the WFP.
• 50:35
  Or else let's see at will will no Rep you 1/28/16 on last
• 50:43
  episode. What about the queen Slayer?
• 50:45
  Lucy Campbell won Wadapalooza here, Wadapalooza and Finner
• 50:50
  second at the games. I feel like we talked a.
• 50:55
  Lot I don't know also John October 7th can still happen
• 50:59
  it's only a month and a half away it.
• 51:01
  Was the wrong. Word.
• 51:02
  I mean that would be what if that?
• 51:05
  Happened and then like guys, I think I think like I have God
• 51:11
  with me and like I just don't know when it's going to happen,
• 51:13
  but he lets me know in spirit. You know what I mean?
• 51:15
  I just, I don't. If that happened, I, I just
• 51:20
  like, I'm going to stop making predictions at that point.
• 51:22
  I'm just going to be like, whatever, John.
• 51:24
  Says if that that if that were to happen in some way, I have
• 51:28
  ascended. We need to.
• 51:29
  I need a. New title because.
• 51:30
  It doesn't fit anymore and I don't even know.
• 51:32
  I don't even know what's happening.
• 51:34
  Like that's the thing. I it's not even me doing it.
• 51:37
  I it's, it's something else that's doing it.
• 51:39
  It would be amazing. And the last comment from Andrew
• 51:43
  Farmer, You know where this is going?
• 51:45
  I didn't realize. Oh, there you go, Lauren
• 51:47
  Torresola. Torresola.
• 51:49
  Judy, are you tracking this? Yeah, keep it.
• 51:52
  Keep it up. Judy.
• 51:55
  I didn't realize my Murfreesboro News contribution was missed.
• 51:59
  It definitely was, and true dearly we.
• 52:01
  Always need a Murfreesboro update.

  This week in Murfreesboro, Barrett Rifles broke ground
• 52:06
  today on their next firearms manufacturing facility, a
• 52:10
  250,000 square foot campus. Also also hopefully that wall
• 52:16
  log gets done soon. Going to have to feed and and
• 52:20
  and nourish all these firearms workers.
• 52:25
  I would like to bring this up just a little bit spent.
• 52:27
  Can can, can you? Can you look up a picture of
• 52:30
  like the Vikings cheerleaders? Just type in Vikings male
• 52:33
  cheerleader. Did you know I cheerlead for one
• 52:37
  basketball season in high school?
• 52:38
  That's awesome, dude. I actually did a couple of
• 52:40
  practices as well, just I lost. I was last placed in my fantasy
• 52:44
  Football League and that was the thing you had to try out for the
• 52:45
  cheerleading team. But I was I was on the
• 52:47
  basketball team. So like I I never could have
• 52:50
  done anything right a the football team like it never
• 52:53
  would have lined up, but spin's going to pull up a picture of
• 52:57
  them. My wife made a great point here.
• 53:01
  Do that first picture with the right here in the white because
• 53:04
  they don't look like that's that's what he looks like.
• 53:07
  That's him. That's the real deal.
• 53:08
  That's now. Joe, Joe Ellis is, is is
• 53:12
  branching out. Guys, stop.
• 53:15
  The. Now my wife made a point.
• 53:18
  These are the male cheerleaders. My wife, my wife made a point
• 53:21
  that they have cheerleaders in college, the male cheerleaders,
• 53:26
  and they have muscles because they're throwing the girls in
• 53:29
  the air. Nobody has a problem with it.
• 53:31
  They're not. They're not this OK.
• 53:34
  And it's this DEI thing that the NFL is trying to push. 12
• 53:40
  different teams have it. I want if we're going to have
• 53:43
  male cheerleaders, I want legit once.
• 53:46
  I don't want guys. Trying to get to meet.
• 53:49
  Girls on the cheer team and I, and I don't care if people get
• 53:57
  upset about that. I don't care.
• 53:58
  That's, that's the how I feel. That's how I feel dude.
• 54:00
  I remember going to UK games and the the the male cheerleaders,
• 54:03
  the guy who would throw the girls and stuff.
• 54:06
  They were humongous. They were shredded out of their
• 54:10
  mind. No.
• 54:10
  And and like they need to because they're throwing them up
• 54:13
  in there and they're like they're cheer.
• 54:15
  Cheerleaders are freaking athletes.
• 54:16
  Man. Yeah, they really, really are.
• 54:20
  Not those ones. Not.
• 54:22
  Them at all? Those are dancers.
• 54:26
  They. Are and and I just I and I don't
• 54:29
  know, it makes obviously it's my favorite team and I I like it.
• 54:33
  That gets thrown in my face a bunch.
• 54:35
  But and my mom is quick to point out no male cheerleaders on the
• 54:40
  Texans. Cool mom.
• 54:41
  That's cool. I don't even care if you're a
• 54:44
  male cheerleader. I want real ones if we're going
• 54:47
  to have them. You know, there's male
• 54:49
  cheerleaders at Mizzou. Nobody cares.
• 54:51
  Nobody cares because they're actual cheerleaders doing their
• 54:55
  thing. They're not this agenda being
• 54:57
  pushed. And that's exactly what it is.
• 54:59
  If people get mad, it's an agenda being pushed, and I
• 55:02
  don't, I don't care for it. And by the way, the Eagles have
• 55:06
  them too, OK? It's not just the Vikings, the
• 55:08
  freaking Super Bowl team. They have them too.
• 55:12
  My thing is, I don't know that I rolled this out at the Vikings.
• 55:15
  It's the wrong crowd. I mean, there's not really good
• 55:18
  crowd in the NFL. You don't.
• 55:19
  Yeah, the NFL is a bad crowd. Was this a coordinated like
• 55:23
  effort 5? Teams 12 teams 12 teams in the
• 55:26
  NFL. Got this all decided all.
• 55:28
  Decided here now, if you look it up, there's been male cheer like
• 55:31
  I did a deep dive on it 'cause I was, I was upset about it one
• 55:34
  day if if you did a deep dive. There have been male
• 55:36
  cheerleaders since 2018, but it hasn't been.
• 55:40
  It's not what this is not dancers, OK.
• 55:43
  And that's what it is now. 12 teams this year got them.
• 55:49
  The Ravens are up there. The Ravens have like 12 of them.
• 55:51
  The Eagles have them. The Vikings have two of them.
• 55:56
  And I only went, I only did this dive because people keep sending
• 55:59
  me stuff about them. And I, I'm sick.
• 56:00
  I, I don't, I don't want to look at it.
• 56:02
  And it's not like like, you know, it's not a thing of like
• 56:06
  I'm telling people how to live their lives.
• 56:11
  It's just, it's just, I just don't like it.
• 56:14
  All right. I don't like an agenda being
• 56:16
  pushed, it's ridiculous. All right.
• 56:18
  Well, we're going to move on to the 2025 predictions.
• 56:23
  See how we are right after this break?
• 56:25
  The game is rigged and not in your favor.
• 56:28
  You've been sold the idea that health insurance has your back,
• 56:31
  but you're not a person to that. You're a number, a stat.
• 56:35
  It was never about your health. It's about their profit margins.
• 56:39
  There's another way. It's community care.
• 56:42
  A healthcare system powered by the same values that may
• 56:44
  CrossFit more than just a workout.
• 56:46
  A community that helps each other, covers each other, and
• 56:49
  rises together through sickness and life's most unexpected
• 56:52
  challenges. It's time to rethink healthcare,
• 56:54
  to stop relying on the system that's failed us.
• 56:57
  They sell sick care. We power health.
• 57:00
  Community Care. Scan the QR code right down
• 57:04
  there on the bottom left, other, other left there, Tyler, and go
• 57:08
  check out community care health insurance alternative or you go
• 57:13
  down to the description down below and click on that link.
• 57:16
  All right, 2025 predictions. The very beginning of the year,
• 57:20
  the very first day of 2025, we decided to go through and give
• 57:25
  our predictions of what we thought would happen this year.
• 57:30
  And they ranged from games predictions to what else,
• 57:36
  athlete predictions, Berkshire predictions, all kinds of stuff.
• 57:43
  And we're going to see how well we did because I'd say almost
• 57:46
  all of them could be decided on at this point.
• 57:50
  That's true. And you know what, If somebody
• 57:53
  said I don't want to look at that, I wouldn't blame them.
• 57:59
  I I. You know what?
• 58:00
  And I would say I I get it. I get it.
• 58:02
  I wish they weren't that tight. I wish they weren't that tight.
• 58:04
  I can't help it. Yeah.
• 58:07
  All right. Here we go.
• 58:08
  First one and I got this is going to be we we're up in the
• 58:11
  production value this time. So here is the very first
• 58:15
  prediction that we gave almost 8 months ago.
• 58:19
  My very first one is at least one perennial Games athlete will
• 58:27
  miss the Games due to a scheduling conflict with the
• 58:31
  World Fitness Project and all that stuff.
• 58:33
  And so like what I mean by that is they're contracted to do a
• 58:36
  competition. They didn't make the online,
• 58:40
  maybe you can do multiple and they were only able to do 1 and
• 58:43
  then like they couldn't do another one because of it.
• 58:46
  A scheduling conflict of some sort will cause at least one
• 58:50
  perennial games athlete by that like over 2 times to miss the
• 58:55
  games. Feel like I was dead on the
• 58:59
  money. I think so.
• 59:02
  Looking back, that was a low. That was a low bar.
• 59:06
  I think at the time it wasn't. Time we didn't know.
• 59:08
  We didn't know how it was going to play out.
• 59:09
  Yeah. We didn't know anything.
• 59:11
  Emily was the first one that comes to my mind, but are there
• 59:13
  more spin? I mean, you said perennial.
• 59:16
  So I mean, I guess technically Anniel wouldn't fit into that,
• 59:19
  but you have a lot of the European athletes who did want
• 59:23
  to compete. They would go to they went to
• 59:25
  Indianapolis for world fitness project.
• 59:26
  They skipped out on the French Throwdown, and so you all right
• 59:33
  there, Tyler? Underrated comment.
• 59:41
  That was great. So no, I, I think while it may
• 59:46
  not be super obvious, I'd say BKG like all those guys who did
• 59:53
  World fitness project, well, it's whether it's direct
• 59:56
  scheduling conflict where they couldn't do 2 competitions
• 59:59
  because. It was the same weekend or
• 1:00:02
  there's back-to-back to back and people picked and choose what
• 1:00:05
  they were going to do, right? BKG, you put all of his eggs
• 1:00:08
  into the semifinal basket. He didn't go to Wanda and he
• 1:00:11
  didn't go to French third down because he also had World
• 1:00:13
  Fitness project. So I would say 100% that is
• 1:00:17
  right on track. All right, starting off with the
• 1:00:20
  the win and I can't, I can't, I can't.
• 1:00:24
  You clearly did not hear what I said.
• 1:00:26
  I'm like, all about the college cheerleaders.
• 1:00:28
  They're fine because they're actually doing stuff.
• 1:00:30
  I actually complimented male cheerleaders.
• 1:00:33
  Go back and watch the tape. See me rolling, OK?
• 1:00:38
  Don't comment something stupid. If you didn't watch it all,
• 1:00:41
  gather all the information. OK?
• 1:00:44
  Emma Would Emma Lawson count? No.
• 1:00:47
  She did the world fitness project.
• 1:00:49
  But it wasn't a schedule that she skipped the opening.
• 1:00:52
  Piece of her back, yeah, I'm with you, I'm with you, I'm with
• 1:00:54
  you. But.
• 1:00:55
  All right. Second prediction, this one goes
• 1:00:57
  to, I guess it's technically not a prediction, but Tyler threw
• 1:01:00
  this in here. We had a good discussion.
• 1:01:02
  Isn't one of my predictions is just a fun thought over under
• 1:01:06
  how many games athletes of the top 20 so 40 will not be there
• 1:01:14
  from last year. I would say probably.
• 1:01:17
  Let me put that at like 10. Yeah.
• 1:01:24
  Over no. No, no, no.
• 1:01:26
  I mean, that's a great number. I I would have to like put a
• 1:01:30
  hard look on it. That's.
• 1:01:32
  Men and women. Are we counting like Laura and
• 1:01:35
  Emma? Yeah.
• 1:01:36
  We're counting like Emma's not going.
• 1:01:38
  She's retired. I kind of want to lean towards
• 1:01:40
  like the whole WFP thing, but there's the Lazar stuff too, so
• 1:01:43
  we'll just say everything. Do do you guys know how many
• 1:01:49
  athletes top 20 men and women do not I.
• 1:01:52
  Mean, I think it's over, Ted. It is 12 keep going. 15 Keep
• 1:02:00
  going. 19. Yes, 19.
• 1:02:03
  Whoa. Let's go through.
• 1:02:06
  The low line. All right, Brent.
• 1:02:07
  Brent. Velner, Sam.
• 1:02:11
  Keep going. Keiko Saxon due to WFP, Yes.
• 1:02:17
  Travis Mayer, Heinrich Yella, BKG called Grace Saver.
• 1:02:25
  Angela Kai. Yeah, that's it, 10 and.
• 1:02:28
  Then that's so 10 just for the men. 10 for the men and then on
• 1:02:32
  the women's side. Gabby, Emily, Bethany Paige
• 1:02:41
  Simenza, Alex Kazan. Kind of, kind of.
• 1:02:44
  Yep. And then, OK, the women were a
• 1:02:48
  little bit better. Emma Lawson, Carolyn Stanley,
• 1:02:51
  Linda Keesman and then Chloe Govan.
• 1:02:53
  Different. That's nine, could say 8 maybe
• 1:02:55
  if you don't count Alex. She would have been like, yeah,
• 1:03:00
  she would have. Qualified.
• 1:03:01
  It wasn't wasn't her choosing Yeah 19, almost half of the Top
• 1:03:09
  40 last year, or the Top 40 men, or top 20 men and women, 40
• 1:03:14
  athletes. Crazy town banana pan.
• 1:03:19
  Good. I'm giving my double point for
• 1:03:21
  that. But I don't.
• 1:03:22
  Dude, that was good. That was good.
• 1:03:24
  But I don't think you would have said that the games was any less
• 1:03:29
  because of it. No, no, I, yeah, I I thought the
• 1:03:32
  games was better than last year. Obviously there's a lot of
• 1:03:35
  different circumstances, but. Yeah, yeah, 1.
• 1:03:40
  I think the I think the games is better than the last four years,
• 1:03:42
  so I'll put it like that. I like 22.
• 1:03:50
  That's good. All right, Tyler, this is your
• 1:03:52
  real prediction for the first one over.
• 1:03:56
  Half the events at the Mayhem Classic will be iconic, rich
• 1:04:01
  Froning workouts, like ones we remember, ones that were
• 1:04:07
  programmed before. Maybe not by him.
• 1:04:10
  And they will be moments where we saw Rich.
• 1:04:12
  Like the exact event. Like push, pull, shit like that.
• 1:04:15
  But like, it's exactly that event.
• 1:04:18
  Yeah, or it won't be exactly that event or a version of that.
• 1:04:21
  It'll be a version on those events like I'm thinking about.
• 1:04:23
  The 1st 2:00. Point stand Yeah, no, no.
• 1:04:29
  The the the GHD. The GHD.
• 1:04:33
  Lunge handstand walk workout. That was a really good one.
• 1:04:36
  Call this one. How about this prediction?
• 1:04:37
  We should have invited Souza on Stop It.
• 1:04:42
  Stop it, Souza. I.
• 1:04:46
  Don't know the Tyler. I feel like I'm gonna not give
• 1:04:48
  that to you. Why?
• 1:04:50
  Like I know he did like a post of This is why where we got this
• 1:04:54
  from, but the workouts weren't like most workouts at all.
• 1:04:57
  They were very deep. There's only 5.
• 1:05:00
  Yeah. So you had to, I would say the
• 1:05:02
  thruster legless one. I would give that one to you
• 1:05:07
  with the dumbbell thrusters in the legless work rope climbs.
• 1:05:10
  I'm not giving myself the 1st. From what?
• 1:05:13
  What would you say that's the same legless?
• 1:05:14
  In 2013 it was thrusters and legless rope climbs.
• 1:05:17
  OK. That's.
• 1:05:19
  It was literally the same 2 movements and then it's just
• 1:05:21
  it's just more reps and the the Rep scheme went down the same
• 1:05:26
  way. All right, I'll.
• 1:05:28
  Give it to you. I know you weren't looking at
• 1:05:29
  that spin, but I I 100% heavy Isabel was not a classic Rich
• 1:05:34
  Froning workout. I mean, it wasn't, dude.
• 1:05:37
  Yeah, it was an AdvoCare deal. OK, That's not that's not.
• 1:05:42
  Shout out AdvoCare. The hundreds in no way was
• 1:05:45
  anything, No. So what do we have?
• 1:05:48
  1st event. The first event in the.
• 1:05:50
  That one was too. That one was too derivative.
• 1:05:53
  It was, yeah. It was way too off of Burden run
• 1:05:55
  and the last one was nothing. That was like it one 1:00-ish.
• 1:06:01
  Nailed it. OK.
• 1:06:03
  I'll give you points for that one, but.
• 1:06:05
  That's all right. All right, this one, this one is
• 1:06:09
  me and kind of Tyler. I'm going outside the games
• 1:06:15
  still related to it. I'm going to say Berkshire sells
• 1:06:20
  CrossFit LL. Damn, end of the year.
• 1:06:22
  That was my I, I, I OK all one up.
• 1:06:26
  You. Off the record?
• 1:06:28
  Off the record to who? I don't know.
• 1:06:32
  OK. Six months I didn't.
• 1:06:33
  I didn't know anybody in mine. Within the six before the games.
• 1:06:39
  Before the games sold. For the games.
• 1:06:41
  You would think they would sell it right after the games unless
• 1:06:45
  somebody else dies then before the games would be better.
• 1:06:51
  Gosh I can't believe I said that.
• 1:06:54
  So y'all don't get a point? 'Cause we don't know.
• 1:06:58
  Still, that one's still up in the air.
• 1:06:59
  But Tyler did not get his right. It was not before the Games.
• 1:07:02
  I, I feel like this was before Emma Lawson withdrew, right?
• 1:07:05
  I feel like I said Emma Lawson's going to win the CrossFit Games
• 1:07:08
  at some point in here and then she withdrew like a month later.
• 1:07:11
  So I already know that's coming, but I I.
• 1:07:14
  I'm still holding out hope it's it's imminent.
• 1:07:17
  That's what I've been told. We've been told that for a
• 1:07:20
  month, dude. Yeah, any day now.
• 1:07:22
  Any day now. Just keep waiting.
• 1:07:24
  We'll be there. All right, Let's see next one.
• 1:07:30
  John. John, you go back-to-back here
• 1:07:32
  because you got a whole bunch of them.
• 1:07:34
  Yeah. Where is the hawk To a coin.
• 1:07:36
  So is it going up? Swallowed.
• 1:07:40
  Is she still? Is she still?
• 1:07:41
  Around swallowed. Oh my God, I think she got in
• 1:07:48
  some legal trouble. Like some real.
• 1:07:50
  Bad legal. Trouble.
• 1:07:52
  Oh no, poor girl. Too many people bat around her.
• 1:07:57
  All right, here we go, John. Both Jason and Dallin's teams
• 1:08:03
  will podium, so neither of the neither of them have podium.
• 1:08:09
  They both got in fourth place twice, their team down in Jason,
• 1:08:14
  and I'm going to say both of their teams podium at
• 1:08:18
  Wadapalooza. So so Dalan's replacing Jay
• 1:08:20
  Crouch on last year's winning team.
• 1:08:23
  Which means nothing. The events suited go Wod. 3rd
• 1:08:29
  place go Wod, 4th place PJS. Dang it.
• 1:08:35
  So close all. Right.
• 1:08:36
  Well, so close. That's OK.
• 1:08:38
  That's OK. And John stays with his He has
• 1:08:41
  another one that's very personal to himself here I.
• 1:08:44
  Think somebody called this in the chat.
• 1:08:46
  Good on you. I think it was Phil, but it's
• 1:08:50
  lesser known athlete. OK, but John Young is going to
• 1:08:56
  is going to clean 405. That's going to happen in 20. 25
• 1:08:59
  lesser known athlete. OK, that's going to happen.
• 1:09:02
  On the grid. Stage you think?
• 1:09:04
  I don't think so. I don't think they do Max's, but
• 1:09:05
  it will happen and you will hear about it.
• 1:09:10
  We heard about it. Here it is four O 5, March 12th.
• 1:09:18
  Some supplements to help with this.
• 1:09:20
  Stop it Tyler, right now. Don't ruin that for me.
• 1:09:26
  This was crazy. Your bottom position is crazy.
• 1:09:36
  I was thinking it's the first time I've ever smiled like after
• 1:09:40
  that way. I I'm very, very even keel with
• 1:09:44
  lifting. But yeah, 330 snatch is on the
• 1:09:48
  way at 2026 prediction. Nice, There you go.
• 1:09:53
  You got that one right. Yeah, all.
• 1:09:55
  Right, let's see, this one goes back to me.
• 1:09:58
  What number is this #7? One of my predictions.
• 1:10:02
  I'll go to the Games this time. Tia clear to me wins the
• 1:10:08
  CrossFit Games. Whoa, going out on a ledge?
• 1:10:12
  Dallon Pepper also wins the CrossFit.
• 1:10:14
  There you go, There it is. And Tia retires.
• 1:10:18
  After after she wins. That's a bigger prediction than
• 1:10:21
  anything you've said. I think Tia is staying for five
• 1:10:24
  doesn't count. If she retires before.
• 1:10:26
  I think he is. I think Tia is going to stay
• 1:10:29
  until Willow goes to college. I think Tia is going to be 53
• 1:10:33
  years old and still win the CrossFit Games.
• 1:10:35
  She going to do the LeBron and his son thing.
• 1:10:38
  Yep, Yep. Until Willow's good enough to
• 1:10:41
  make a real competition, Tia's going to do the CrossFit Games.
• 1:10:45
  Then do it one year together. And Willow will make it at 14
• 1:10:49
  and and then yeah, and then obviously be burnt out and, you
• 1:10:52
  know, never do CrossFit, ever. So is that a parlay 'cause it
• 1:10:57
  was? 3/3.
• 1:10:58
  I mean he was wrong on everything.
• 1:10:59
  But yeah, so it's close. I'm giving you 1/3 of a point.
• 1:11:06
  I'll take it. I don't.
• 1:11:07
  Think we should give for Tia Toomey?
• 1:11:09
  We're going to give him. One point.
• 1:11:12
  What? Hey, no.
• 1:11:13
  Go back to January 1st. We didn't know she was even
• 1:11:15
  going to do the open at that point.
• 1:11:17
  That's true. I called it.
• 1:11:19
  She was actually going to do the open.
• 1:11:20
  Yeah, you. Ready you did I?
• 1:11:24
  Called it. No, there you.
• 1:11:29
  Go Hey guys, remember what I called Tia Toomey to win the
• 1:11:31
  CrossFit Games? Yeah, take that.
• 1:11:35
  Oh, that was good. All right, this one is a little
• 1:11:38
  bit longer with the let Tyler. Is Gary?
• 1:11:41
  I say it has. Wax poetic here.
• 1:11:42
  This would be a good one, so enjoy.
• 1:11:44
  Add Tyler, your next one. I wanted to do this in a polite
• 1:11:51
  way but and I'm not doing it in a rude way.
• 1:11:54
  No, but this will be the last water pool is that we see on a
• 1:11:58
  live stream of. What?
• 1:12:03
  What? The friendly death of water.
• 1:12:05
  Palooza, it is not for what you think.
• 1:12:08
  I think with the the athletes signing.
• 1:12:12
  These contracts. Well, I think people would say
• 1:12:15
  like, oh, it's either because of Brian or water.
• 1:12:19
  Palooza's been on a camp. I thought.
• 1:12:21
  That why no don't we thought, oh, nobody thought that weird,
• 1:12:27
  I'm sorry or. Or they want to think that it's
• 1:12:32
  because Water Palooza is on like a downhill trend.
• 1:12:37
  I don't think it's because of that.
• 1:12:38
  I think it's because with the athletes signing these contracts
• 1:12:42
  and there's going to be turmoil between WFP and CrossFit, all of
• 1:12:46
  you are making big points of this.
• 1:12:48
  Today's been on on Pedro's show where it's just going to split
• 1:12:52
  everybody and they're going to be dedicated to the events that
• 1:12:55
  they're already dedicated to. They're not going to have any
• 1:12:57
  time left. Rogue's going to take a hit.
• 1:12:58
  If they don't do something, they'll pull out the cash for
• 1:13:00
  it. Water Palooza doesn't have that
• 1:13:02
  cash anymore. And so this might, this is, I'm
• 1:13:06
  going to predict, this is the end of Water Palooza, as we
• 1:13:09
  know. There it is, the end of Tijuana
• 1:13:13
  Palooza as we know it. In at that time.
• 1:13:15
  Go up in the air, technically. I'm I'm 100% wrong.
• 1:13:21
  Dear Dylan, I apologize for making that prediction.
• 1:13:25
  Stop it. Right now.
• 1:13:28
  Oh no. No, I that this whole WFP thing
• 1:13:34
  is playing out a lot differently than I considered back then.
• 1:13:38
  I, I, I think I was a lot more hype on it being a threat back
• 1:13:42
  then than I am now. I mean, they're sinking that
• 1:13:44
  ship faster than we can put in a bucket.
• 1:13:47
  The water out. What if we cover it next year?
• 1:13:51
  Well, if we get that $1000 for the Joe, we'll probably save it
• 1:13:55
  ourselves. But no, I I'm totally reverse to
• 1:14:00
  this now. This is also this is also made
• 1:14:04
  though this prediction was made before the move to March and now
• 1:14:10
  we know that the open is the same weeks and 26.3 is the same
• 1:14:17
  weekend as 2026 tier water Palooza Miami Beach.
• 1:14:24
  And if the rumors are true true, the world fitness projects going
• 1:14:29
  to have their first event two weeks after that.
• 1:14:32
  Oh man, so maybe your prediction really was this is the start of
• 1:14:37
  the end. Of what?
• 1:14:40
  Water Palooza. It's not the last one aired, but
• 1:14:44
  this is the start of the end. No, I think it's the complete
• 1:14:49
  reversal. I think it's, it is a new
• 1:14:52
  breath. I I'm I'm 100% turning 180 on
• 1:14:56
  this. But athletes aren't going to go.
• 1:14:58
  They are 100% going to go to this one.
• 1:15:00
  They have to the Open and the World Fitness Project at the
• 1:15:03
  same time. John, let's just walk through
• 1:15:05
  the logistics of this. I'm.
• 1:15:06
  Ready. Let's walk.
• 1:15:08
  The Open, The last week of the open is the same weekend as
• 1:15:12
  Waterpalooza. And you think that that's not
• 1:15:14
  coordinated? Sorry, what is it?
• 1:15:17
  Ah. So well, the first event is is
• 1:15:21
  the open workout. I still think that'll be the
• 1:15:24
  case. Yes, that's my.
• 1:15:25
  That's my I. Think you'd be.
• 1:15:27
  I think you would be an absolute idiot if you did not think that
• 1:15:29
  that was coordinated. OK, I'm with you.
• 1:15:33
  The the spectacle that that will create for the entire sphere, I
• 1:15:38
  think is it will it will rival the best open announcements
• 1:15:42
  we've ever seen. The.
• 1:15:44
  Production, we've already had an open announcement.
• 1:15:46
  A lot of plues though. But individuals start on
• 1:15:48
  Thursday. But yes, we've had a one
• 1:15:51
  announcement, but to have all the individuals do it, you have
• 1:15:54
  all loud. Yeah, you have all of the
• 1:15:57
  community divisions do it. You did that before.
• 1:16:00
  You have, hey, was that strength in depth maybe?
• 1:16:04
  And you have all of the other fans can do it like you think
• 1:16:08
  about you have a extra stage where all of the fans can just
• 1:16:10
  cycle through and do the open just.
• 1:16:15
  Wow, yeah. Yeah, all of it.
• 1:16:17
  The amount of content. OK, OK.
• 1:16:19
  Party feel of all of that, the crescendo and then and then the
• 1:16:23
  fact that the open is not nearly as like cutting as it used to
• 1:16:28
  be. Like as far as like if athletes
• 1:16:30
  don't do it exactly right, they're out.
• 1:16:33
  Like the athletes just basically need to do it at capacity that
• 1:16:36
  they're used to doing it and they'll be fine.
• 1:16:38
  It's the open. It's the open now, but this is
• 1:16:41
  this, this is a pivot that the entire open could make.
• 1:16:45
  I mean, the the excitement that would be drawn out of
• 1:16:50
  Waterpalooza will be hard to duplicate in other places.
• 1:16:53
  But I think like if you have a good week 1 open announcement
• 1:16:56
  and a good Week 2 open announcement, that last one is a
• 1:17:00
  crescendo at Waterpalooza would be like, that'd be it'll be the
• 1:17:03
  re Watch that. It'll be the RE, the rekindling
• 1:17:10
  of the open. I want to say they did that at
• 1:17:13
  Taurian 20.5 maybe where it was to choose your own adventure,
• 1:17:18
  the 120 wall balls, 40 ring muscle UPS and then 80.
• 1:17:27
  What was the other movement row, 80 Cal row?
• 1:17:29
  Yeah. So do you think you think that's
• 1:17:34
  they've done that before? That's all I'm saying.
• 1:17:36
  It's, it's been done before, but it would work.
• 1:17:40
  I I'm, I'm with you, I'm with you.
• 1:17:42
  It would work. If you're a top, if you're a top
• 1:17:48
  games athlete, if you're assigned pro, if you're assigned
• 1:17:51
  pro athlete, do you do Tijuana, Palooza, indie or team or?
• 1:18:00
  You look like an asshole. I think you, I think you still
• 1:18:02
  do everything you guys think the games was what, 3 weeks?
• 1:18:06
  4 weeks. What?
• 1:18:10
  The the the this one that's coming up, is it four games or
• 1:18:13
  three weeks? 4 weeks later.
• 1:18:15
  So I mean, I think you do everything as you would and then
• 1:18:18
  it's just the next thing up you're.
• 1:18:20
  Just show up. Right.
• 1:18:21
  It's just a contract. And I think we're going to see
• 1:18:25
  like they wanted it to take over, but we're going to see
• 1:18:29
  that no, they're just showing up and clocking them in.
• 1:18:32
  It's not. They're not training for it.
• 1:18:35
  And then the people that you've hitched your wagon to don't
• 1:18:37
  train like they used to, because not the freaking CrossFit Games.
• 1:18:43
  Very well could be. Clip this one.
• 1:18:45
  Clip it. OK, we'll do that.
• 1:18:48
  Let's see next one. It's mine #9 Here we go talking
• 1:18:53
  about the 2025 open registrations.
• 1:18:56
  The open registration in 2024 is 344,000 over under.
• 1:19:02
  I'm going to put the over under at 275,000.
• 1:19:07
  I'm under, I'm taking the under dude, I'm going to say over
• 1:19:12
  registration. I'm.
• 1:19:14
  That's a 20% decrease. Yeah, I'm going to say the open
• 1:19:20
  registration is going to be 252,000 and 365.
• 1:19:27
  Mark it. Put it down 25236.
• 1:19:30
  Five Why do you think it's that far down?
• 1:19:32
  252365 Book it. You heard it here first.
• 1:19:38
  The actual number The actual number was 234,780.
• 1:19:42
  It's. Pretty close.
• 1:19:44
  It was darn close. Damn the under.
• 1:19:49
  Yep. It seems, it seems a little
• 1:19:53
  weird now that like the Games, we had a good games, everybody
• 1:19:57
  seems hype about a little bit more hype about CrossFit.
• 1:20:00
  It seems weird that the open numbers for that, right?
• 1:20:03
  I mean, the open numbers, what about like what the games
• 1:20:05
  attendance was? I think everybody who did it, I
• 1:20:09
  think, I mean, I think it's only going to grow from here.
• 1:20:11
  This will be the low point. And we've had this, it's
• 1:20:14
  happened before when Greg first sold it, it when 2020 COVID
• 1:20:19
  happened like it went down and then it went back up and then it
• 1:20:22
  went down again and it's going to and now we're it's going to
• 1:20:25
  start going back up. But the thing.
• 1:20:27
  Is the most wrong. The thing is The thing is and
• 1:20:31
  spin. Please correct me if if I'm
• 1:20:35
  wrong because I I think I know but like I might be wrong.
• 1:20:39
  The starting point when it goes back up has been higher every
• 1:20:44
  single time that we went back down.
• 1:20:45
  Does that make sense? Not the peak, the peak hasn't,
• 1:20:49
  but the starting point of like where it stuck started, right?
• 1:20:52
  It goes 2014 is the peak, but it started at 2000, you know, 7
• 1:20:58
  right? And then it went down and then
• 1:21:01
  it peaks back at like 2023 and then it went back down.
• 1:21:06
  But like where that starting position is, it's the highest
• 1:21:09
  starting position we've ever had.
• 1:21:11
  So it's, it's, I think it's going to continue to grow.
• 1:21:13
  Obviously I'm optimistic. Obviously I have.
• 1:21:16
  This is what we do. I wanted to succeed, but I I
• 1:21:20
  think it's only going to get. Higher from here.
• 1:21:22
  Just wait till you see some move Max open workouts.
• 1:21:25
  Wow really? Take off like a rocket ship. 40
• 1:21:29
  minute AMRAP. Meredith Vogel, Thomas Dallin
• 1:21:33
  mentioned there might be a change to that format on Boys
• 1:21:36
  Interrupted. She don't know.
• 1:21:38
  Tierra water Palooza, Water Palooza.
• 1:21:42
  Tierra water palooza. They know something.
• 1:21:44
  They know something. Seema Roland Root camp sure
• 1:21:48
  knows a lot about future events. Well, maybe, maybe, I don't
• 1:21:56
  know. They only know what we allow
• 1:21:58
  them to know. OK.
• 1:22:01
  All right, John, I'm just going to preface this, preface this.
• 1:22:07
  Preface. Preface this.
• 1:22:10
  Proface. The next two, next two, next
• 1:22:14
  ones are not going to be good for you.
• 1:22:16
  All right, we'll start with this one.
• 1:22:18
  Patrick Velner will retire after this year's Games, but not from
• 1:22:24
  competing. What?
• 1:22:27
  Oh, he's, he's not going to. Do you think he'll do the games
• 1:22:30
  this year? I think Patrick Velner will do
• 1:22:31
  the games this year and then he will not do the games ever.
• 1:22:35
  He will retire but still compete like other places.
• 1:22:40
  Like Willy's foundation? Possibly maybe I'm he might
• 1:22:45
  retire for good, but I'm predicting that and I'm not even
• 1:22:47
  say saying world fitness project.
• 1:22:49
  I I mean like he might still do Wadapalooza or.
• 1:22:52
  So you just mop up when all the with the World Fitness Project
• 1:22:55
  guys can't go and he just goes by himself.
• 1:22:57
  And maybe may all options are on the table.
• 1:23:00
  It takes 75,000 for himself, but he's.
• 1:23:01
  Not going to do the games like he's going to do the games this
• 1:23:04
  year and then he's retiring from the game season and then but
• 1:23:09
  he's going to do another competition somewhere.
• 1:23:11
  Maybe he does Rogue and then retires like like Rakowski did.
• 1:23:14
  You know, that's my prediction. That wasn't that bad.
• 1:23:21
  Was it? He didn't do the game so.
• 1:23:24
  No, I, I yeah, I know it's not right, but like it, it it was
• 1:23:28
  right except that part. John, I think you will be double
• 1:23:32
  wrong on this. He did.
• 1:23:35
  He's. Going to fully retire.
• 1:23:39
  Does it keep going? He's going to come back.
• 1:23:42
  Oh, he's coming back. Wow, wow.
• 1:23:45
  I don't. I do not know.
• 1:23:47
  Tyler, this isn't 2026 predictions.
• 1:23:49
  We'll save that. For the next show, save that for
• 1:23:51
  that, yeah. Crossfat John Young is like Sex
• 1:23:56
  Panther 60% of the time. All the time.
• 1:24:00
  Like I'm right every time. I'm right.
• 1:24:02
  I'm right 60% of the time. It's a Anchorman quote.
• 1:24:07
  I got it. OK.
• 1:24:08
  I was like, if you don't get that one.
• 1:24:11
  All right, here we go. And here's the second drawn
• 1:24:13
  second one. And then my other one is Emma
• 1:24:17
  Lawson is going to do the CrossFit Game season.
• 1:24:23
  Not only that, Emma Lawson is going to be top five at the 2025
• 1:24:28
  CrossFit Games. How about her podcast Top Five?
• 1:24:31
  Now it's a harder sell. I'm not willing to go out that
• 1:24:35
  far. Have you listened to it?
• 1:24:39
  I have. How is it?
• 1:24:41
  It's a podcast. It is a podcast.
• 1:24:47
  Yeah, that one was. And then swing a month and a
• 1:24:50
  half later, Emma Lawson cites back injury for not competing in
• 1:24:53
  their CrossFit Open. Yeah.
• 1:24:56
  That one, that one was a miss. Whoops.
• 1:24:59
  So boy. Had she competed, I stand by she
• 1:25:04
  would top five. Now we know you're not
• 1:25:07
  clairvoyant. Yeah, no, I mean, I could be
• 1:25:10
  wrong. It happens.
• 1:25:11
  It happens. Hey, Nostranamus was wrong
• 1:25:14
  sometimes, yeah. All right, Tyler, you're out.
• 1:25:20
  Go ahead, Tyler. This will be Dave Castro's last
• 1:25:23
  year. Boy, your predictions are very
• 1:25:27
  sad. Everything dies.
• 1:25:31
  That's my prediction. Tyler's trash tell me I'm wrong.
• 1:25:36
  Oh man, I want to let Sam. Is it on his own choosing or is
• 1:25:41
  it because of the sale insecure? We will never know the real the
• 1:25:46
  real reason, but. I think.
• 1:25:49
  Is it before or after the sale? After.
• 1:25:52
  Then it's not. After the games this year then.
• 1:25:54
  It's not his decision. I don't want it to happen, but
• 1:25:57
  it'll it'll happen still a chance.
• 1:26:01
  He's going to retire into the sunset, dude.
• 1:26:03
  He's not going to get fired at all.
• 1:26:05
  Last year. We're going to, we're going to
• 1:26:06
  go to Carson 26. Then he's going to be like, all
• 1:26:08
  right, I've done my 20. I'm out.
• 1:26:12
  Good point by semen by Simi. Well, Subby did say Dave went
• 1:26:16
  around and thanked everybody and got teary eyed.
• 1:26:20
  Well, next year's in Carson, he'll retire then he's going to
• 1:26:23
  do like a Kobe Bryant year where he's going to be like this.
• 1:26:25
  My last year. I'll save that for 2026
• 1:26:30
  predictions. I'm sorry.
• 1:26:31
  Please do all right, my last one here, see if this you guys were
• 1:26:37
  there to find out if I was right.
• 1:26:39
  This one's a little harder to quantify, but I'm going to say
• 1:26:42
  that the games will be like a smaller thing, but those who are
• 1:26:48
  there, it's they're more enthusiastic, so.
• 1:26:51
  Oh, they'll love the games again.
• 1:26:53
  So you think the games will be like 2014?
• 1:26:58
  Yeah, I think it'll, I think it'll be not as grand, but the
• 1:27:02
  people that are supporting the games will go there and have
• 1:27:06
  like it'll be a different feel. It'd be like us going to a crash
• 1:27:10
  or the North Cal Classic, something like.
• 1:27:12
  That no, I mean not like that small, but like.
• 1:27:14
  Not that small, but that type of.
• 1:27:16
  Yes, that's that's kind of a prediction of it.
• 1:27:19
  You freaking nailed. It you nailed it dead on the
• 1:27:21
  money spin. There you go.
• 1:27:23
  I think you take the entire the entire.
• 1:27:26
  I called Tia winning it and I called that one.
• 1:27:29
  So. 1.3 points. I got another one coming up.
• 1:27:36
  Berkshire will sell by the end of the year after the Games.
• 1:27:40
  Dude, you, I don't know how you were so vague and nailed it.
• 1:27:44
  That's how he would nailed it. Yeah, but like.
• 1:27:47
  No, it's more about just how, Just no.
• 1:27:51
  Yeah. No, no, I think, I think you
• 1:27:53
  nailed it on the head spin. How were you even able to like,
• 1:27:56
  I don't even know how that entered your brain, how you were
• 1:27:58
  able to formulate that thought. I think it was I, I sensed the
• 1:28:03
  divide and it was felt like people were going to war over
• 1:28:08
  the two camps. And when that happens, you get
• 1:28:11
  more enthusiastic, you get more fired up, and you want to defend
• 1:28:15
  what you believe in even more than you did before.
• 1:28:17
  And the people that don't believe won't be there.
• 1:28:20
  Right. And so it's you're, you're just
• 1:28:22
  left with the diehards and I think that's what you got.
• 1:28:25
  Yeah, if you're there, it's because you want to be here.
• 1:28:28
  You love where you're at. And yeah, yeah, great, great
• 1:28:34
  predictions, Tyler. They'll never let me live that
• 1:28:38
  down. What was your 2024 prediction?
• 1:28:42
  I was. Trolling everybody and said that
• 1:28:44
  Kamala was going to win. No, you're not trolling anybody,
• 1:28:47
  dude. That's what you believe.
• 1:28:49
  In Oh yeah, that's what. I mean, dude, you were all about
• 1:28:52
  the white dudes for Harrison the text, right?
• 1:28:55
  Don't lie. You were the only person.
• 1:28:57
  You were like, dude, I think Kamala is a great woman and is
• 1:29:00
  going to do a great job. You were trying to sell us on
• 1:29:03
  it. You texted me to the side.
• 1:29:05
  It was like trying to convince me to vote for Kamala.
• 1:29:07
  Yeah, Tim Walz was going to be the future, too.
• 1:29:09
  You called my wife? Well, that was real.
• 1:29:12
  The real selling point for me was Tim Walz.
• 1:29:14
  Carmel I was like on the fence about, but Tim Walz I was dead
• 1:29:17
  set on. There you go.
• 1:29:19
  Well, good luck to you. I hope he's the next electee in
• 1:29:22
  the Democratic. Too.
• 1:29:24
  Election. That'd be fun.
• 1:29:26
  I think he's got a great shot against Vance.
• 1:29:28
  I hope he does. I hope that's exactly what
• 1:29:31
  happens. And the last prediction, John,
• 1:29:36
  goes to you, John, last one. Last one can't do a 2025
• 1:29:43
  prediction show without mentioning a future CrossFit
• 1:29:47
  Games champion. So Austin Hatfield is is going
• 1:29:52
  to podium at the 2025 CrossFit Games.
• 1:29:56
  So close. Yeah, he probably should have,
• 1:29:59
  but yeah, I've lost a lot of faith in Austin.
• 1:30:05
  I feel like I was backtracking on that the second I said it,
• 1:30:08
  but I I I still thought he was going to though honestly all the
• 1:30:12
  way to the last event. How do we do we got 1/2?
• 1:30:19
  I mean, I think I was right on half of mine and then the half
• 1:30:22
  that I was wrong on, I was really close to.
• 1:30:25
  I was only at like a 100% wrong on one of them.
• 1:30:29
  We've only got 4 completely correct.
• 1:30:35
  I don't know if you watch the show but I feel like I was right
• 1:30:38
  on half of them and and wrong on half and the.
• 1:30:41
  I just love that he brought back unburdened by what it's.
• 1:30:44
  Been because we. Said that for a solid like 6
• 1:30:47
  months. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:30:50
  That's good, that's hard thing. So we still have to hold out
• 1:30:53
  with to find out if Berkshire sells with the holdout, see if
• 1:30:57
  Dave ever competes or ever programs again.
• 1:31:01
  If Pat truly retires or just takes up the scraps, we'll find
• 1:31:06
  out. So there you go.
• 1:31:08
  That's a good, good prediction. Bad at all?
• 1:31:10
  Yeah, I'm excited for 2026. I was happy I was wrong about
• 1:31:13
  the ones I was wrong about. That's right.
• 1:31:16
  Like you're OK with the ones you were wrong about?
• 1:31:18
  Oh, absolutely. Yeah, yeah, me too.
• 1:31:20
  There you go. Alright, we'll be right back
• 1:31:22
  with some blind rankings. How long are you going to listen
• 1:31:26
  to a society that tells you that there's an easy way?
• 1:31:30
  Listen to me. There is no quick fix.
• 1:31:35
  They're telling us it's a pill, it's an injection.
• 1:31:38
  It's this is that. No, it's hard work.
• 1:31:42
  Your future health is based on the decision you make today.
• 1:31:46
  You don't have to be the quickest, the strongest.
• 1:31:49
  You just need to take charge. Yes, optimal health can be a
• 1:31:53
  reality. Yes, it's yours, but you got to
• 1:31:56
  get up and you got to go get it. It's yours, but you got to put
• 1:31:59
  in the work. It's yours, but you got to
• 1:32:01
  grind. All it takes is you making a
• 1:32:06
  decision right now because practice makes permanent.
• 1:32:24
  It's yours. It's yours, take it.
• 1:32:28
  This is spin. This is where we go realize how
• 1:32:31
  bad you all are at CrossFit Analysis we'll find out how you
• 1:32:36

• 1:32:50
  Crossfat Crossfat Pat does not seem excited to be at Mesa.
• 1:32:55
  He's not excited to train. He doesn't like working out.
• 1:33:01
  Me neither. It shows Tyler all right.
• 1:33:06
  Viewer or not viewer. What viewer comments.
• 1:33:08
  No, not fewer comments. It is blind rankings time.
• 1:33:12
  Another non CrossFit one. I think you guys will like it,
• 1:33:14
  though it is toughest to kill. Oh.
• 1:33:21
  Son. Cool.
• 1:33:23
  CrossFit or not CrossFit? You'll find out on the first
• 1:33:27
  one. Or both.
• 1:33:28
  I think we should do it. Would be cool if there were
• 1:33:30
  both. I'll find out.
• 1:33:33
  Here we go. Toughest to kill ranking them
• 1:33:37
  blindly, Rambo. 1. Dude, you have to.
• 1:33:45
  You have to think about everybody that there's out
• 1:33:47
  there, OK? Dude he survived like 6 movies
• 1:33:50
  at this point. I understand that if he puts Uma
• 1:33:53
  Thurman up there, I'm going to pick Uma Thurman.
• 1:33:59
  Oh. Rainbow melatrix kiddo.
• 1:34:01
  Yeah, dude, yeah, dude. Rambo ain't done nothing
• 1:34:05
  compared to Bellatrix kiddo. It's on you right now.
• 1:34:09
  I don't know dude, I I will settle for a 2.
• 1:34:12
  And then what if what if he puts like Jason Voorhees, he survived
• 1:34:18
  10 movies. You don't know what he said.
• 1:34:20
  That's my point. He's already dead.
• 1:34:22
  He killed himself. He drowned.
• 1:34:25
  He never dies. He never dies.
• 1:34:28
  Freddy Krueger. He can name anything.
• 1:34:30
  He's not even. Real.
• 1:34:31
  Neither is Rambo. Rambo is definitely real.
• 1:34:37
  It's true. Beatrix Kiddo, man.
• 1:34:41
  Rambo is more real than Freddy Krueger.
• 1:34:43
  Bellatrix, I said. Bellatrix.
• 1:34:45
  He did Beatrix. Beatrix, sorry.
• 1:34:48
  Bellatrix, she's #1. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:34:51
  Yeah, even though she. Got you Have to keep in mind.
• 1:34:56
  If he's starting with Rambo he could do anybody like there's Is
• 1:35:01
  Rambo the hardest to kill out of all people in movies?
• 1:35:06
  No. I'm.
• 1:35:08
  Tempted to put three I'll I'll, I'll, I'll go 2 with you.
• 1:35:11
  I'll go 2 with you because we have to explore what he's doing.
• 1:35:15
  But you can't just rock with one from the What about John Wick?
• 1:35:20
  I like Rambo more than John Wick.
• 1:35:22
  John Wick does die at the end. Rambo ain't dead.
• 1:35:26
  But Dude B, he's got nothing on Beatrix.
• 1:35:30
  I'll go with two or three. Three let's.
• 1:35:32
  Go 3. John's arguing for me now.
• 1:35:37
  Let's see, let's. Go right 2.
• 1:35:38
  Let's get 2, the fastest one ever, and now you're like 03 is
• 1:35:42
  fine, sure. I understand because like what
• 1:35:45
  if like Doctor Strange is on here or?
• 1:35:47
  Something Thanos. Thanos died.
• 1:35:52
  Like if that came out, Doctor Strange was coming at Thanos.
• 1:35:55
  I don't know if they could kill Rambo dude, it's too sneaky.
• 1:35:58
  OK, All right. That was quite the adventure.
• 1:36:02
  Are we or, or is it three or two?
• 1:36:06
  2. Forrest Gump.
• 1:36:09
  I mean, it'd be hard to kill Forrest Gump.
• 1:36:10
  He didn't even die from AIDS. That's fair.
• 1:36:14
  All right, here we go. Next one, the bride.
• 1:36:19
  That's Beatrix #1 who is better, Tyler?
• 1:36:26
  I just don't like how much she gets hurt.
• 1:36:28
  She got shot in the head by a shotgun.
• 1:36:32
  Woke. Up from a coma and then just
• 1:36:36
  killed maybe 2000 people. None of that happened to Rambo
• 1:36:40
  because he's not an idiot. I can't this is my number one.
• 1:36:49
  I don't I don't know. I she's literally like the most
• 1:36:52
  BA thing in all of movies. I can't put her at #1II.
• 1:36:55
  I just can't. You know what's?
• 1:36:57
  Funny, it's like, you know, they the freaking the world nowadays
• 1:37:00
  tries to push this like feminist movement down our throats and
• 1:37:04
  puts like a whole bunch of women that are BA.
• 1:37:06
  We didn't even think of her as a woman, she was just BA.
• 1:37:13
  So it was Jean Winchester. It ain't hard to survive that.
• 1:37:17
  No, no man, dude, there's no way she is #1.
• 1:37:22
  You know, watch Kill Bill if you do not know the bride chat.
• 1:37:26
  Both of them. Give it to John.
• 1:37:35
  Wanted to know that I think he's wrong.
• 1:37:40
  Oh God, I know a soap opera character could outlive all of
• 1:37:43
  them. Yeah.
• 1:37:45
  The young and the restless, it's still going.
• 1:37:50
  The. Entire series.
• 1:37:52
  Yeah. All right, here we go.
• 1:37:54
  You guys left 3-4 and five. This is terrible.
• 1:37:57
  Jason Bourne. Now we're good 3.
• 1:38:00
  Yeah, I would put him at 5:00. Really.
• 1:38:03
  Yeah. Why give me your reasoning?
• 1:38:06
  I don't know. He he just doesn't get into as
• 1:38:08
  many as as dangerous. I don't know, like there's less
• 1:38:11
  contact with Jason Bourne as opposed to these people.
• 1:38:18
  Because he wants it that way. Maybe, but like, I don't know,
• 1:38:23
  it's never as hot on him. He's not, he's not near as much
• 1:38:25
  of A warrior. I, I agree with you.
• 1:38:28
  Let's go. OK, four or five, four or five,
• 1:38:32
  and I'll let you decide. 4 'cause I, I, I bullied you in #1
• 1:38:35
  So you can you, you pick your, you pick, you pick this. 144.
• 1:38:40
  All right, there we go. Three or five left Chuck Norris.
• 1:38:47
  Three what? Chuck Norris is the most
• 1:38:50
  overrated thing in the world. Sean and I just have.
• 1:38:53
  Very different stances on this. Just one of them binge watch
• 1:38:56
  Walker, Texas. None of these people.
• 1:38:59
  All of. Them murder Chuck Norris.
• 1:39:01
  No, I get you. He's not the reference.
• 1:39:04
  I understand that. If you if we actually compared
• 1:39:08
  what they do, Chuck Norris is getting ran through.
• 1:39:12
  I will give John this one. He already dies.
• 1:39:17
  Bruce Lee. Yeah, I was getting ready to say
• 1:39:18
  Bruce Lee killed him, and pretty easily.
• 1:39:21
  So even though Chuck looked cool as fuck the whole time, all.
• 1:39:26
  Right. Chuck Norris doesn't even have
• 1:39:28
  ABS. It's a different time dude, it's
• 1:39:31
  a different time. You're way more cool if you can
• 1:39:34
  kill people and you don't have ABS.
• 1:39:35
  That's yeah. I, I, I, I won't deny.
• 1:39:38
  Yeah, that's fair. That's fair.
• 1:39:40
  I'm I'm really curious, where's Jason Bourne been?
• 1:39:42
  Has it? Wasn't he in the chat for a
• 1:39:43
  little bit? He's with Kay Lehman.
• 1:39:45
  No one knows. OK.
• 1:39:47
  And the last one, number three. Good list.
• 1:39:55
  Good. List.
• 1:39:56
  You guys got lucky. A good morning Killed.
• 1:39:59
  Bruce Lee. If you put Chuck Norris at 3 and
• 1:40:01
  Bruce Lee at 5:00, we're dead wrong.
• 1:40:06
  This is a good list. Then switch rainbow and the
• 1:40:08
  bride. Besides that, I'm all right with
• 1:40:09
  it. OK, but that if that's your only
• 1:40:12
  switch then? It's a pretty good list.
• 1:40:14
  It's a pretty good list. Yeah, Bruce Lee got killed by
• 1:40:19
  drugs. So for a girlfriend we don't
• 1:40:23
  really know what happened but. He broke his back and came.
• 1:40:26
  Back from it. Hey look, he's here.
• 1:40:30
  The real Kill Layman. That's pretty.
• 1:40:33
  Cool. This was a good this was I I
• 1:40:35
  enjoyed. I enjoyed this.
• 1:40:37
  Can you tell me, OK, if Rambo and Beatrix, they live, they're
• 1:40:43
  in one's in California and one's in New York.
• 1:40:47
  They have to find each other and kill each other.
• 1:40:50
  Who wins? Bruce, or I mean Rambo.
• 1:40:53
  I don't. I don't.
• 1:40:54
  Bruce wins I. Don't think so, man.
• 1:40:57
  Her. Reflexes are too fast.
• 1:40:59
  Hers is luck. Half the time she gets damaged,
• 1:41:02
  she's like damaged 99% and Rambo.
• 1:41:05
  Rambo isn't in Vietnam. He can't do anything, dude.
• 1:41:08
  He. Literally was in the Pacific
• 1:41:10
  Northwest the entire. Oregon or Vietnam, you put him
• 1:41:13
  in any other place, he's done. If you ever look at up the
• 1:41:18
  place, they shot that movie. It's absolutely gorgeous.
• 1:41:20
  It's in Oregon. No, it wasn't in Oregon.
• 1:41:22
  It was what is it? It's up north.
• 1:41:25
  It's in Canada. It's in northeast Canada.
• 1:41:30
  They film like all the movies there.
• 1:41:32
  If it's like Pacific Northwest, they film them there.
• 1:41:34
  Really. Yeah.
• 1:41:36
  Like Toronto? No North.
• 1:41:40
  Somebody tell me what it is. It's like heavily forested area
• 1:41:45
  British Columbia. None of it.
• 1:41:49
  This is BC. Oh, British Columbia isn't
• 1:41:51
  British Columbia? I thought that was Northwest.
• 1:41:53
  That's Northeast. OK.
• 1:41:58
  Are you? I don't have it on top of my
• 1:41:59
  head. Saint Robert.
• 1:42:01
  It's very BC. There we go.
• 1:42:07
  OK, there you go, blind rankings.
• 1:42:11
  And last one, just some yawn and I, it does seem quiet though.
• 1:42:17
  This this week, there's not been a whole lot of news.
• 1:42:20
  It's it's we're in the, we're in the lull in the back.
• 1:42:25
  There is there is some news though, that just came out this
• 1:42:28
  evening an hour before the show. Jeff Adler will not be competing
• 1:42:31
  in the World Fitness project. Mesa.
• 1:42:33
  He's out. So injury.
• 1:42:35
  So he's violating his contract. He is exercising his right to
• 1:42:40
  not compete via his contract. Health You have extremely good
• 1:42:44
  control of your eyebrows, Tyler. Yeah, I think it was from
• 1:42:47
  watching Basement, your movies. Let's see, Jeffrey Adler
• 1:42:51
  withdraws from Tour Stop 2 due to injury.
• 1:42:55
  What's his injury? Let's see his quote.
• 1:43:00
  Oh, it's he's not competing under the advisement of his
• 1:43:05
  medical team. His wife.
• 1:43:07
  Mean. Jeff Adler says I'm disappointed
• 1:43:11
  I won't be able to participate at WFP Tour Stop 2.
• 1:43:16
  I've been battling with an injury that comes and goes and
• 1:43:21
  doing everything I can to come back at 100%.
• 1:43:23
  For the time being. I need to respect my body and
• 1:43:26
  make sure it holds up for the next few years.
• 1:43:30
  I appreciate the support the WFP team provided me and look
• 1:43:34
  forward to Copenhagen, to which Mr. Wilmore at the WFP Director
• 1:43:40
  of Sport said. Obviously this is unfortunate
• 1:43:43
  news, but we fully support Jeff and his team's decision.
• 1:43:47
  Our athletes health and Wellness are a priority over competition.
• 1:43:50
  We look forward to having him back on the competition floor in
• 1:43:53
  Copenhagen in December. 6 flame emojis.
• 1:43:58
  No emojis in the press release. Adler will be replaced by Danny
• 1:44:02
  Macho Camacho. He is the next one up from the
• 1:44:07
  Challenge division, so he will now.
• 1:44:10
  He was the one that took last place in Indianapolis.
• 1:44:12
  Now he'll take a. Spot that spot.
• 1:44:17
  In the pro division in Mesa and he will now guarantee himself
• 1:44:21
  into Copenhagen. So Congrats to Danny.
• 1:44:24
  Camacho. Macho, macho Camacho.
• 1:44:27
  No relation to Freddie. Not not that I know of.
• 1:44:30
  Jeff Adler is currently 4th in the WFP standings with 460
• 1:44:34
  points. Nice.
• 1:44:38
  Let's see Challenger athlete Anthony Yim.
• 1:44:40
  Also other news, Challenger athlete Anthony Yim has also
• 1:44:44
  withdrawn to an injury. Damn.
• 1:44:46
  And he is being replaced by CJ Gerald.
• 1:44:50
  CJ. Yeah.
• 1:44:52
  CJ is usually in the comments, where you at?
• 1:44:55
  CJ was a local athlete training out of CrossFit Magnet nearby
• 1:44:58
  Phoenix, and then Jackson Terry had to weigh in the director of
• 1:45:04
  operations. Jeff is one of the top men's
• 1:45:07
  athletes in the world and he, as he showed at Indianapolis, a
• 1:45:10
  serious contender to the championship title of our
• 1:45:13
  inaugural season. He's one of the best because he
• 1:45:16
  knows what his body can do, can and cannot do.
• 1:45:20
  He'll be missed, but the men's field remain highly competitive
• 1:45:24
  and exciting to watch. Let's see if the backfill
• 1:45:27
  athletes in the pro and Challenger divisions will take
• 1:45:30
  advantage of their opportunity. Will they by default will due to
• 1:45:37
  the scoring? They will.
• 1:45:39
  They will. Yeah, congratulations for seeing
• 1:45:46
  the opportunity. I I hope.
• 1:45:48
  Jeff nothing but the best and I hope he gets healthy.
• 1:45:53
  If he explains why Jeff is didn't do well in at the games.
• 1:45:57
  Maybe or maybe not either or, but I hope we get the Jeff of
• 1:46:03
  old because I we will be missed until we have that.
• 1:46:07
  Odd that you go to the CrossFit Games.
• 1:46:11
  Probably was injured. I'm surprised that.
• 1:46:14
  Would have been an amazing troll if they had done that.
• 1:46:17
  Yeah, yeah, missed. Opportunity.
• 1:46:21
  Amazing that he went to the CrossFit Games.
• 1:46:23
  Let's suppose that he was injured but pulls out of the
• 1:46:27
  WFP. Guaranteed money versus non
• 1:46:29
  guaranteed. Just an interesting observation.
• 1:46:34
  I mean, I think it goes to what we talked about when it was
• 1:46:37
  saying that when we're talking about Tijuana Palooza next year,
• 1:46:41
  be in March, end of the open right before the World Fitness
• 1:46:44
  project, Like are these athletes going to start taking it as just
• 1:46:49
  train through it? If we all just train through it,
• 1:46:51
  we're all even. Then it's not.
• 1:46:52
  Adjust your training. This is why the WFP has to have
• 1:46:57
  mandatory contracts and non like not.
• 1:47:01
  Even if it's mandatory, it doesn't mean that you have to
• 1:47:04
  peek for it, doesn't mean you have to not do something two
• 1:47:06
  weeks before that or you saying exclusive contract.
• 1:47:08
  Exclusive contract. Sorry, thank you for fixing my
• 1:47:11
  wordage. Because if they're going to pick
• 1:47:13
  get injured, then they're not prioritizing your event.
• 1:47:17
  And therefore your event becomes like a it creates this, it
• 1:47:20
  creates a not interesting story by default.
• 1:47:24
  And so, yeah, they have to move to exclusive contracts which the
• 1:47:27
  athletes will not sign. So they're they're in a losing
• 1:47:31
  position. They they set up the game in a
• 1:47:33
  lose, lose. Already that and I think they
• 1:47:37
  real quickly realized that they can just get their 20 their
• 1:47:40
  their their next pro card and guarantee themselves next year
• 1:47:45
  by only doing one event and then doing well at finals.
• 1:47:47
  They know they're they know if they're well going to do well
• 1:47:50
  enough at finals, right? Like other knows, he's going to
• 1:47:52
  get enough points to be top 20 at the end of the day, right,
• 1:47:57
  right. He's going to be all the
• 1:47:58
  challengers who didn't do all of them and he has enough points
• 1:48:02
  over so many of them that it doesn't matter.
• 1:48:04
  So like he doesn't have to Hayley Adams hasn't done the
• 1:48:08
  first one. She can go in the next one, next
• 1:48:10
  one and do well in Copenhagen and she gets 19th place good.
• 1:48:14
  She's whatever she can do next year so.
• 1:48:18
  Contract verified. Hey, how long do you think the
• 1:48:21
  WFP will go for? Predictions.
• 1:48:25
  I, I think they're done in 20, I think they'll go 2026, I think
• 1:48:32
  they'll go in 2027 and then I think they're done.
• 1:48:35
  Business ventures usually go three years and then they
• 1:48:38
  reassess. I think 2027 their contracts go
• 1:48:45
  down. Well, Speaking of contracts, how
• 1:48:50
  do contracts work next? Year you get new ones.
• 1:48:55
  I know, but like, if I'm Austin Hatfield and I win, I guarantee
• 1:49:01
  Austin Hatfield's contract was not even close to Adler or
• 1:49:07
  Veldner Gee. Who was the crazy big one?
• 1:49:11
  We had heard? Tia.
• 1:49:12
  Danny. Danny.
• 1:49:16
  Yeah. Tia's was supposed to be
• 1:49:17
  ridiculous, but she didn't do it.
• 1:49:19
  I thought Tia's was. Supposed to be like 100.
• 1:49:22
  Yeah. I mean, everything I'd heard is
• 1:49:23
  ranged anywhere from, I mean low end.
• 1:49:25
  It was like 10. I think it was 30 though is what
• 1:49:27
  I've heard. Most 30's with the majority of.
• 1:49:30
  Them, but is it based off of merit or is it based off of more
• 1:49:34
  Instagram followers? More Instagram followers and
• 1:49:37
  that's the issue. You got Laura Horwath in there,
• 1:49:40
  man. You got Patrick Baldner like you
• 1:49:42
  got. You got people who aren't doing
• 1:49:44
  anything else. Which?
• 1:49:46
  Chandler Smith, Noah Olson, no offense to those guys.
• 1:49:51
  I mean, I why would you not do it if you're not, if you're them
• 1:49:53
  like you absolutely would, but. It's not yeah.
• 1:49:56
  Would you take the, would you take the minimum if you took
• 1:49:58
  20th and just get your 30,000 win this year?
• 1:50:01
  For the first year you you made a, you made 80,000 or 75,000.
• 1:50:05
  If you're those guys, yeah, because what else are you doing?
• 1:50:08
  Or Ty Jenkins. I bet you he doesn't get a raise
• 1:50:11
  and he should have. Well, he's like, he still has to
• 1:50:14
  get his card, but. That's my point.
• 1:50:16
  It's not merit. Sure, for the first year it
• 1:50:19
  makes sense because you want to attract the most people to your
• 1:50:21
  league. So if you compel them all to
• 1:50:23
  make posts for you, you'll get more attention past your one.
• 1:50:27
  It doesn't make any sense to do it based on Instagram followers
• 1:50:30
  because you would want to tell the athletes, hey, our event is
• 1:50:35
  going to be so compelling that you'll gain Instagram followers
• 1:50:37
  from it, CrossFit Games, the open, different stuff like that.
• 1:50:41
  And they they can't do that. So now it really seems like the
• 1:50:46
  the table flips and it's like the WFP should.
• 1:50:50
  So that's. What they built it as, and it's
• 1:50:55
  the other way around. I know for a fact that they
• 1:50:58
  posted CrossFit Games athletes during the CrossFit Games.
• 1:51:04
  You know, their little posts, they copy and paste it.
• 1:51:07
  And those athletes are required to like, collaborate and post
• 1:51:12
  them too. And I know, I know, I know of at
• 1:51:16
  least one of them. I don't know about everybody
• 1:51:17
  else, but at least one of them. Didn't.
• 1:51:20
  What they were like, I waited until the Games to collaborate
• 1:51:23
  with them until the game, until the Games was over because I
• 1:51:27
  didn't want that on my page during the CrossFit Games.
• 1:51:34
  And like, I think it's dirty of them to put an athlete in that
• 1:51:39
  position. It makes sense.
• 1:51:41
  You don't think it's dirty for sure.
• 1:51:43
  It's just the algorithm stance of that makes sense.
• 1:51:47
  Like that athlete taught, they're getting more page views.
• 1:51:50
  You want to, you want to utilize that if you can, but that
• 1:51:54
  doesn't make it right. It is.
• 1:51:55
  It's gross. But if they continue to do
• 1:51:58
  things like that, like it's not, you're not working for the
• 1:52:02
  athlete. Which is hilarious considering
• 1:52:05
  how hard they have to work to step around.
• 1:52:07
  Not referring to CrossFit Hiller's video that his
• 1:52:12
  destruction video of the WFP. It was a critique video.
• 1:52:15
  Dude and I like. Like call it what you will.
• 1:52:19
  Like I think Lucy Campbell said it like how you think Lucy
• 1:52:22
  Campbell got more from the CrossFit names or more from WFP
• 1:52:26
  0 from WFP. What about OK, but Lucy like got
• 1:52:30
  second. That's easy to say.
• 1:52:32
  You're you're absolutely right. Let's take somebody less Monica
• 1:52:35
  Greer, an up and coming athlete. You think she got more from the
• 1:52:39
  games or more from WFP? She got more Amy Kringle in
• 1:52:42
  second. Right.
• 1:52:42
  I'm not talking about money. I'm talking about opportunity
• 1:52:47
  followers and money's. Money's a byproduct of that
• 1:52:51
  stuff. Everybody was talking about Amy
• 1:52:52
  Kringle the first few days of the Games and she took, she was
• 1:52:55
  on the podium. Was it She was like second I
• 1:52:57
  think like WFP? Second or oh oh oh.
• 1:53:00
  Yes, WFP and I don't even recall that.
• 1:53:04
  Right, that's what I mean. So anyway, Adler's out and we
• 1:53:09
  have no idea what. I mean, do you know who won for
• 1:53:11
  the women? Ariel, Alex.
• 1:53:15
  That's my point, bro, that's my point.
• 1:53:19
  Hey, who got third for the men? The only.
• 1:53:24
  Reason. We know Austin and Jeff is
• 1:53:25
  'cause I just wouldn't shut up about it.
• 1:53:27
  But like who? Who got third for the men?
• 1:53:29
  I know about, I know about Austin because you beat Jay.
• 1:53:32
  Jay, look. You all don't know?
• 1:53:34
  Hey, you want to know something funny?
• 1:53:36
  I don't know either and I'm supposed to know.
• 1:53:37
  Everything. That's my point.
• 1:53:41
  Somebody put in the comments. I'm dying to know who it was
• 1:53:44
  now. Let's see.
• 1:53:46
  It was James it. Was James.
• 1:53:48
  James. Congrats, James.
• 1:53:52
  As per usual, James gets no respect from anybody with what
• 1:53:56
  he does but. PC This is such a dumb comment
• 1:54:00
  dude. You're comparing a 19 year
• 1:54:02
  institution to a elite one year in competition.
• 1:54:05
  One year in competition? Dude, we are just calling apples
• 1:54:10
  apples and oranges oranges. And we're saying like, OK, cool,
• 1:54:15
  the games have been around 19 years.
• 1:54:16
  This is the field that you entered.
• 1:54:18
  This is the war zone that you entered.
• 1:54:20
  You can't reverse the fact that they have 19 years.
• 1:54:22
  You have to compete with it. Done.
• 1:54:26
  That's true. You know what I do remember?
• 1:54:28
  I remember Rogue. I don't remember WFP.
• 1:54:32
  And also I do not think Patrick and I feel like you have to
• 1:54:37
  respect this, OK? I do not think that you are
• 1:54:41
  allowed to have an opinion when you guys work for them in any
• 1:54:45
  kind of a capacity. Oh, I think you are.
• 1:54:48
  Well, an unbiased opinion. Yeah, I was going to say you can
• 1:54:52
  have opinions all. Day right?
• 1:54:53
  You're fair, that's fair. You could have an opinion for
• 1:54:55
  all you want, but you can't take your opinion seriously when you
• 1:55:00
  are with them in some capacity. And I what's hilarious is people
• 1:55:04
  think CrossFit pays us and they don't at all.
• 1:55:09
  We don't get nothing from CrossFit ever.
• 1:55:12
  We just love CrossFit, unlike other people.
• 1:55:17
  Oh dude, did you all watch between two boxes the other day?
• 1:55:23
  I don't, I know I know what you're referring to, but I hate,
• 1:55:29
  I hate, I hate how you just said it.
• 1:55:31
  I it gave me like the ick of how you just said it.
• 1:55:35
  I don't know what you're talking about.
• 1:55:36
  The box office show with the 2 girls.
• 1:55:38
  Oh, I did not watch that. Kate.
• 1:55:42
  And Mesa. Mesa give.
• 1:55:46
  Me a A brief yet comprehensive overview.
• 1:55:49
  Mesa Mesa. It's hard for me not to think of
• 1:55:51
  Jab Jab Binks when I think of her name.
• 1:55:55
  They were just going off about like how CrossFit has this
• 1:55:57
  branding issue and and they were they were talking about.
• 1:56:01
  Like, well, they don't like the New Britain, the new.
• 1:56:04
  They were talking about like over the past five years and how
• 1:56:08
  CrossFit needs to be more inclusive.
• 1:56:09
  And then they, they said that they don't really like this new
• 1:56:12
  campaign. And they were going into all
• 1:56:15
  these little bits about how CrossFit is sort of exclusive.
• 1:56:20
  And they didn't acknowledge like why we got to this place that
• 1:56:22
  we're at. And it was from when we were
• 1:56:25
  exclusive. And what we've been doing over
• 1:56:29
  the past five years up to this point was trying to be more
• 1:56:32
  inclusive. And people like to do shit
• 1:56:35
  that's cool and sexy, then they don't want to do shit that's
• 1:56:38
  inclusive. They just don't.
• 1:56:39
  But I just like watching their show.
• 1:56:43
  And I made this point in the thread the other night about
• 1:56:45
  like, I just think it's hilarious because we throw shots
• 1:56:48
  at CrossFit all the time. We are very plain Jane.
• 1:56:52
  Whenever they fuck up, we're like, yeah, this was a stupid
• 1:56:54
  move. And I just don't know how people
• 1:56:58
  don't see that. Like maybe I guess John's right.
• 1:57:00
  They think we're being paid by CrossFit, but we're not.
• 1:57:03
  Like we will say whatever the fuck we want.
• 1:57:05
  And how Tommy and John and all those guys were up Crossfit's
• 1:57:11
  ass during the worst time and need to say that the most to get
• 1:57:15
  them right back online. And then now that we've flipped
• 1:57:18
  and we're like, hey, they're actually doing some shit.
• 1:57:20
  That's right. Now those guys are on the other
• 1:57:23
  side and it's like, how do you think this is going to play out?
• 1:57:26
  Do you think? Do you think we're bought and
• 1:57:28
  paid for? You think we're really that
• 1:57:29
  shallow that we're just going to be like, we've been doing this
• 1:57:32
  so long, unpaid? Yeah, yeah, you saw it.
• 1:57:37
  We, we can't even make $1000 to do World fitness project.
• 1:57:43
  We actually lose money that doing that.
• 1:57:46
  No, I, yeah, I, I I still remember a conversation I had
• 1:57:49
  with Jada Koons at Tierrawadapalooza 23, I think it
• 1:57:55
  was. Yeah, Yeah.
• 1:57:58
  When he first joined. And he was asking what he
• 1:58:00
  thought CrossFit should do. And I told him it needs to go
• 1:58:03
  back to, like, The Dirty grimy. Like, you've got to just, you
• 1:58:10
  know, kind of be tough. Like, not everybody's going to
• 1:58:12
  want to do it. Your workout is our warm up.
• 1:58:14
  Yeah, get get to that, go back to that type of stuff that was
• 1:58:17
  happening 10 years ago. It took three years later, but
• 1:58:22
  hey, we're getting there, which is great.
• 1:58:25
  I. Are they on the other Sorry,
• 1:58:27
  John, Are they on the other side though?
• 1:58:29
  Yes, they're they will not explicitly say they're on
• 1:58:32
  anybody's side and they say they have faith in the CrossFit.
• 1:58:34
  But if you look down at if you look at their breakdown and
• 1:58:36
  analysis of of what they think about things, I would say they
• 1:58:40
  are on the other side. Their thought is being colored
• 1:58:43
  by people who don't have opinions like we do.
• 1:58:47
  And I understand like some of our chat can get a bit rowdy,
• 1:58:49
  but I think if you talk to us, you would you would get a
• 1:58:54
  compared, you get a comparative view of the other side and I
• 1:58:58
  think they're only listening to one side right now.
• 1:59:01
  And their side isn't honest with themselves.
• 1:59:05
  Their side is PC is all get out. Not no, no pun taken to your
• 1:59:11
  name Patrick. But their side doesn't have an
• 1:59:14
  opinion both they they don't allow themselves to have a real
• 1:59:19
  opinion. Everything is kumbaya.
• 1:59:22
  And if it's not, they don't talk about it or you're I don't not
• 1:59:28
  professional. Right.
• 1:59:31
  I thought CrossFit went the wrong direction when they tried
• 1:59:33
  to become inclusive because it was all about growth and they
• 1:59:37
  grew the wrong way trying to attract the wrong people.
• 1:59:40
  And don't get me wrong, it's great that grandma does
• 1:59:44
  CrossFit, but grandma doing CrossFit is not going to inspire
• 1:59:50
  an 18 year old to live a healthy life the rest of his life.
• 1:59:54
  Oh, they were saying something about sorry.
• 1:59:57
  Go ahead, John. Well, I you know what, what is
• 2:00:00
  the first thing you think of when you read this?
• 2:00:02
  She said. Mesa was so offended by movie
• 2:00:04
  line. Cry on the inside like a winner.
• 2:00:06
  She needs and provides safe spaces.
• 2:00:10
  The first thing that I thought of is named Tia Tumi or OH.
• 2:00:17
  Shit, that was so badass. I cannot work in an environment
• 2:00:22
  where you need to be safe. If that is the thought I cannot
• 2:00:28
  work like that is. That is.
• 2:00:29
  My immediate thought is if that is what you need, I cannot work
• 2:00:34
  in this environment. And I'm I'm all for it.
• 2:00:40
  I'm on Shane's side, like and and you, what's the bad part is
• 2:00:45
  you have to be careful what you say because people will try to
• 2:00:47
  cancel you. And we've nurtured everybody so
• 2:00:50
  freaking much. And you understand?
• 2:00:52
  That and you have to be like, I think I actually like the those
• 2:00:57
  girls, the box girls. Oh, I think I, I think they have
• 2:01:01
  really good potential. I wish they would dive into it a
• 2:01:05
  lot more like they're, but here's the they're not tainted
• 2:01:08
  yet. They're getting they're.
• 2:01:10
  Bearing yeah, I I understand have a real opinion and don't
• 2:01:17
  don't pretend like you have a real opinion and then BPC about
• 2:01:22
  it. Do not be afraid to actually
• 2:01:25
  upset people. Be strong and what you.
• 2:01:29
  Want they upset you? They don't upset me, I just said
• 2:01:32
  I like them. The.
• 2:01:34
  I'll be I'll be frank, I I've only listened to two two of the.
• 2:01:38
  Their sounds like I need to sounds like I need to listen to
• 2:01:40
  the. Between two boxes.
• 2:01:41
  Google it. Yeah, I I did watch 2 two of
• 2:01:44
  their podcasts straight through but but you.
• 2:01:49
  Can I've listened to more? I've listened to more.
• 2:01:51
  Of them. I've listened to more of Emma
• 2:01:52
  Lawson's podcast than I have of that.
• 2:01:55
  I haven't. I have not.
• 2:01:56
  They they have a, they could have a very interesting
• 2:02:02
  presentation. They have a good back and forth.
• 2:02:05
  I just think like they were, you know, they were trying to make
• 2:02:08
  this case, which I sort of understand that CrossFit
• 2:02:11
  presents intimidating and that's why it's for anyone, not
• 2:02:17
  everyone. But they were saying like, oh,
• 2:02:19
  if you're overweight or, you know, you have a disability or
• 2:02:22
  something, you might not want to go into a CrossFit gym.
• 2:02:24
  And they were saying that CrossFit doesn't market to that
• 2:02:26
  well enough. And I'm like, we literally have
• 2:02:28
  ads. What's the guy from what is it
• 2:02:31
  Bear Complex or Victory Grips? He like doesn't have an arm and
• 2:02:35
  he goes to the Games every year, the victory Grips athlete guy.
• 2:02:38
  Yeah. And it's like we we market to
• 2:02:40
  that all the time. And so when they made that
• 2:02:43
  argument, I was like, so you're heavily varying your opinion
• 2:02:47
  based on what you're being told or, or even if you see that ad,
• 2:02:51
  you're just discounting it immediately.
• 2:02:53
  And that's why I want to push on them like, hey, I think you're
• 2:02:57
  not absorbing everything through.
• 2:03:00
  I mean, look at, look at. What?
• 2:03:02
  Look at what the killing the fat man was.
• 2:03:05
  One of the best things that was put out years ago.
• 2:03:10
  Oh yeah, that was a big, there was big growth behind Killing
• 2:03:14
  the Fat Man and on the Jenny versus Mesa.
• 2:03:17
  Well, I think they, they, they want to be like that.
• 2:03:21
  Do you think they can't? They're too scared.
• 2:03:23
  They can't be Jenny. Don't you think it's odd that
• 2:03:26
  Jenny appears? Jenny's nuts.
• 2:03:29
  She's out there and just does anything.
• 2:03:30
  No, I just think she's. Not scared, you know, people
• 2:03:34
  want to eat up that gossip stuff.
• 2:03:36
  Like, you know, don't get me wrong, she really likes her some
• 2:03:39
  Danielle Brandon stuff, but but she's not scared.
• 2:03:44
  And I think that's what sets her apart and what people appreciate
• 2:03:46
  and what people want to watch or eat up.
• 2:03:50
  And I think they want their version of that and they will
• 2:03:55
  not get it if they are scared to say things.
• 2:03:59
  You don't think it's odd that Jenny appears and then
• 2:04:02
  miraculously on Brian's channel a few months later, 2 girls also
• 2:04:08
  appear? Could not say it better.
• 2:04:14
  Unburdened did yeah. JRW Tyler did you?
• 2:04:19
  Not what the WFP is doing now like 3 years ago.
• 2:04:21
  No, I've never said that there should be a league.
• 2:04:23
  I think it the a league is stupid.
• 2:04:25
  It makes no sense. I think a league for teams.
• 2:04:28
  Yeah, he's a big teams guy, that's where.
• 2:04:30
  That makes sense, Teams. A league for teams makes sense.
• 2:04:34
  A league for individuals makes no sense.
• 2:04:38
  And I, I've come around to that. I think Tyler's on to something
• 2:04:41
  if they ever, if they ever adopt it.
• 2:04:47
  Yes, yes, we did CrossFit. All right, all right, that's it.
