Fitness Fashion Crimes, 4 Minute Miles, Wimbledon Predictions and the New Hyrox Rules - Episode 60 · The MindSets Podcast

  Hello and welcome back. To another episode.
• 0:09
  Today, one of the topics we're talking about is fashion,
• 0:13
  something that I don't personally know much about, but.
• 0:17
  Which no one will get if they're not watching on YouTube.
• 0:19
  Well, again, this is the first point I'm making a fool of
• 0:21
  myself. Currently I'm wearing the most
• 0:22
  obnoxious Timu running goggles that I've ever seen.
• 0:27
  But before we talk about that, there's something going on today
• 0:30
  that is quite mad. So the day of recording is
• 0:34
  unfortunately not the day of release.
• 0:37
  We are being quite organized this time and we are recording
• 0:40
  on the 26th of July. You got it.
• 0:42
  Which June? June even, wow, we are, we are
• 0:45
  organized like I said, we are ahead of that.
• 0:47
  So 26th of June Today, Faith Keep You Gone is taking on a
• 0:53
  world record. Attempt.
• 0:54
  I know, mad. Now, as far as you guys are
• 0:58
  concerned, listening to this or watching this, she has either
• 1:01
  done it or she hasn't at the point of time.
• 1:03
  Let's take the assumption that she has.
• 1:05
  So this is a project that's going on with Nike running.
• 1:09
  It's another one of theirs, a bit like the two hour marathon
• 1:12
  thing. They've put a lot of science
• 1:14
  into this as well, which I'm really intrigued with.
• 1:17
  However, Faith currently holds the world record for the fastest
• 1:21
  mile female mile, which is four O 7.
• 1:25
  Yeah, she's got to knock off 7 seconds.
• 1:27
  Yeah, which when you're talking about the top of the sport is
• 1:30
  massive. However, there is literally only
• 1:34
  a handful of women that have gone faster than 413.
• 1:36
  Yeah, so we aren't just talking about taking 7 seconds off.
• 1:41
  We're basically talking the same as the difference between her
• 1:45
  and the her and the next actual sort of people that are in her
• 1:47
  field. Now, as we said, this is similar
• 1:51
  to the Nike 2 hour marathon attempt where there were certain
• 1:55
  things they took into consideration which was making
• 1:58
  it as flat as possible as a running track for that to for
• 2:00
  that marathon, the footwear, the way that there was drafting
• 2:04
  going on, all of this that they've thought about.
• 2:06
  So she is running in a specially formulated suit and they're
• 2:11
  doing it at a running track in Paris.
• 2:13
  Paris. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:15
  Which is meant to be fast. Yeah, I don't know quite how a
• 2:19
  running track necessarily. Like the composite in the the
• 2:22
  material that they use for the track.
• 2:24
  But yeah, I don't know either. But yeah, it's safe to say that
• 2:27
  the four minute mile is something that has been broken
• 2:29
  now. I mean, it was first broken by
• 2:30
  Roger Bannister quite a while ago, but now it's definitely
• 2:33
  something that we see done relatively regularly.
• 2:35
  I think the the men's world record is 343.
• 2:38
  So there's a big disparity there.
• 2:40
  And I think this is the aim is to try and start to close it.
• 2:42
  But yeah, I mean, I'm glad I'm not her right now.
• 2:46
  Yeah, you'd be petrified, wouldn't you?
• 2:47
  Terrified I. Mean last episode.
• 2:49
  If you haven't watched or listened to last episode, go
• 2:51
  back and listen to it. We were talking about the
• 2:54
  enhanced games, and this is the closest thing, I guess, to the
• 2:56
  enhanced games without having an enhanced athlete.
• 3:00
  And we're basically seeing the same thing now.
• 3:02
  I don't know if she's got a $1 million bonus that she's going
• 3:05
  to get if she manages to do it, but it's another one of those
• 3:08
  events. But this one seems a little bit
• 3:10
  more interesting because of the margin that she's trying to
• 3:13
  close, but also the way that they're trying to do it with
• 3:16
  tech and other considerations other than necessary changing
• 3:20
  what the athlete does or. I think like even if there's not
• 3:22
  a monetary prize, I'm sure she's getting something from from Nike
• 3:25
  and the rest of her sponsors for it.
• 3:27
  But it's like the prestige of being the first woman to ever
• 3:30
  break 4 minutes is like for me. It's giving me goosebumps
• 3:34
  thinking about it. And she was obviously had like a
• 3:36
  phenomenal season last year with her.
• 3:39
  She broke the the 1500 and the 5K world record, I think within
• 3:43
  like weeks of each other. Yeah.
• 3:46
  So she's obviously had some incredible form up until now and
• 3:50
  she's been picked out to go look.
• 3:51
  Can you help us break the four minute mile?
• 3:54
  Which honestly, like, I hope we get these episodes recorded
• 3:57
  quickly because I want to go home and watch that.
• 3:59
  Yeah. It's like you want to be there
• 4:00
  to actually watch it live, Like it's going to be incredible.
• 4:02
  One of the things I'm genuinely most looking forward to, and I'm
• 4:05
  going to take the approach that she's done it.
• 4:06
  Yeah, OK. Is I want to see now.
• 4:11
  Yeah. Like, but not not necessarily
• 4:13
  just the floodgates, but like, she now goes back to normal
• 4:16
  competition without her suit. Does she now have the confidence
• 4:19
  that she can run up to 7 seconds quicker?
• 4:21
  So does she end up running like a four or five without any of
• 4:24
  the game and. How interesting to see.
• 4:25
  Yeah, you're right, but that the the reason why I mentioned the
• 4:28
  floodgates thing is because when Roger Bannister originally broke
• 4:32
  the four minute mile, however many years ago that was, I think
• 4:36
  it was weeks or maybe even days after that.
• 4:40
  An Aussie guy who was also trying to break it, he'd seen
• 4:43
  that it had been done and literally broke it.
• 4:46
  So it's just like that mental. Oh, it can be done.
• 4:48
  Maybe whatever. There was something
• 4:50
  psychological holding him back. But then this might hopefully
• 4:54
  propel some other female runners to go.
• 4:56
  Actually, I'm, I'm faster than maybe I think I am.
• 4:59
  And and I can also break that or also push closer to her time.
• 5:02
  Well, I think it's also cool as we're at this point in like
• 5:04
  history with that distance in that if she has done it by the
• 5:09
  time this episode comes out and she is inspiring people and
• 5:13
  taking that mental barrier away, are we admitting that there is
• 5:18
  probably someone out there that is alive right now that is
• 5:22
  probably going to be the first person to do it without any of
• 5:24
  the help that's mad? They could be listening to this
• 5:27
  right now, who knows? And instead of thinking about
• 5:30
  how they're going to do that, they're actually going to listen
• 5:32
  to us talk about fashion. This is something that has been.
• 5:37
  Suggested brushed over the the fact that this is your 60th
• 5:40
  episode. Oh, you know, we may.
• 5:42
  We're here for the, we're here for the 100th, you know, but no,
• 5:45
  it's a very, very good point. And I think one of the things
• 5:47
  that I do want to touch on with the fashion topic being
• 5:52
  suggested by people is you and I have both been inundated with
• 5:55
  messages in like a very positive way.
• 5:59
  So through the podcast page, through my personal page and
• 6:01
  through your page as well. The amount of interaction that
• 6:03
  we're getting now is unbelievable.
• 6:06
  And not to say that I haven't always looked forward to doing
• 6:08
  the podcast as well, but coming into this afternoon, I've been
• 6:11
  really excited to talk about some of the things we've got to
• 6:12
  talk about because you guys have given us some great points to
• 6:14
  discuss. But also I think they're they're
• 6:17
  going to be fun things to talk about.
• 6:18
  So without further ado. Let's go.
• 6:22
  What was your fashion journey like with sports stuff?
• 6:24
  Because fashion and sport have now really crossed over the last
• 6:27
  couple of years and that's been apparent and I think that's why
• 6:29
  this. Hasn't always been the case, has
• 6:31
  it? Absolutely not.
• 6:32
  I feel like we. Probably should dig out some
• 6:35
  photos at some point. And I think my fashion journey
• 6:38
  is going to be even more. I don't know how to explain it
• 6:41
  other than horrific, but CrossFit and fashion, a bit like
• 6:45
  high rocks and fashion now, but CrossFit and fashion in like
• 6:48
  2016, 2017, not good. And I fell very, very foul of
• 6:53
  that not good line. I genuinely don't think of a
• 6:58
  time where I start thinking about my fitness fashion,
• 7:01
  especially when I was younger getting into it, because I so I
• 7:04
  started going to the gym and like doing fitness when I was, I
• 7:07
  think sick form or like late GCS ES and when I was going, I was
• 7:11
  just going in whatever rugby kit or whatever I had.
• 7:14
  So I wasn't even thinking about it.
• 7:15
  It was just like what sports kit do I have?
• 7:17
  And then because I was I think I had AI don't think by the time I
• 7:20
  was then I was still having a paper round.
• 7:22
  I think I was working a Saturday job, but like I wasn't earning
• 7:24
  much money to be like putting towards a lot of stuff.
• 7:27
  So if I had anything gym Shark, it was sale and it was what no
• 7:31
  one else wanted, but it would be skin tight, it would have some
• 7:34
  sort of luminescence on it and I didn't care because it had gym
• 7:37
  Shark on it. It's.
• 7:38
  Going to be really bright. And I think, I think I had two
• 7:41
  T-shirts that I cycled every two days.
• 7:44
  Oh no. It would go through the wash and
• 7:46
  those things took a beating by the washing machine.
• 7:48
  But I very much started with the I was classic like rugby kit.
• 7:52
  Sports kit from school kind of vibe.
• 7:54
  And then once I kind of realized, OK, I'm not really
• 7:57
  doing those sports at the moment, I started buying gym
• 8:00
  gear, but it would be only what was branded and what was
• 8:04
  considered cool. I wouldn't buy anything that was
• 8:05
  like. I didn't go through, I never
• 8:07
  went through the gym shark phase because when gym shark initially
• 8:11
  became popular, it was very much like this is for bodybuilders
• 8:15
  and I was doing functional fitness because I was a
• 8:17
  Crossfitter and no way could I wear that.
• 8:19
  So I never fell down the gym shark route And ever since I, I
• 8:22
  never have actually. But CrossFit fashion at the
• 8:25
  time, like I, I can't begin to explain to you if you, if you
• 8:29
  haven't seen it, I think it was the 2016 season when it was
• 8:33
  still sponsored by Reebok. Reebok did this CrossFit Games
• 8:37
  run of training quick kit and it was like they had two different
• 8:40
  colorways. It was either yellow, like
• 8:42
  bright fluorescent yellow where it was like X-ray bones.
• 8:47
  And I can't really explain that other than it was like someone's
• 8:51
  Halloween costume of a skeleton. And it was either you're wearing
• 8:54
  this yellow thing, I'm going to have to find these photos.
• 8:57
  And and you look at the CrossFit Games and they actually were
• 8:59
  given teal shoes. So they had teal Reebok Nanos.
• 9:04
  And then everything else was like yellow or this X-ray thing.
• 9:07
  And they were wearing like knee high socks and like headbands
• 9:10
  and wristbands and people like that's what I want to look like.
• 9:13
  That is cool. And that was kind of fashion as
• 9:15
  I was coming into the sport of CrossFit.
• 9:17
  So unfortunately I owned a lot of Reebok and unfortunately none
• 9:21
  of it was particularly. Cool.
• 9:22
  See, I never did functional fitness stuff, so I never had
• 9:25
  that pushing me to get into that sort of line of clothing.
• 9:28
  I guess all I had was what people were wearing at the local
• 9:31
  leisure centre gym because when I started going to the gym it
• 9:34
  was more so because I was an insecure teenager.
• 9:37
  And so I would go, and I wouldn't necessarily say that
• 9:40
  was bodybuilding because there wasn't much of A body to build,
• 9:43
  but I was trying to get to that point where I was having at
• 9:46
  least some sort of definition of an on an arm.
• 9:49
  And so I wanted something that was one wheel tightish on my
• 9:51
  arms, but not tight anywhere else.
• 9:53
  I remember that being a moment. And I also, damn, this is a
• 9:57
  little flashback. Rolling up sleeves on T-shirts
• 10:01
  was, I don't think I would do that in in the gym from memory,
• 10:04
  because my gym tops would take care of that.
• 10:06
  But if I wasn't there, yeah, I'm thinking that I was probably
• 10:09
  still requiring 3 or 4 rolls where it was like, so like
• 10:13
  that's where I was at and I. Definitely did tight T-shirts,
• 10:15
  but I don't know if I did the rolling.
• 10:17
  Maybe. I probably did.
• 10:18
  My protein started doing T-shirts and they were far more
• 10:21
  reasonable and they had the Raglan muscle fit and I was like
• 10:24
  that's cool. So I, I remember taking that to
• 10:27
  uni and wearing those and like then I got into American
• 10:31
  football and started training in those and they became like
• 10:34
  undershirts. And then I can't really remember
• 10:37
  what I was wearing. But all I know is, and this is a
• 10:40
  bit of an ick in American football, very, very common, you
• 10:44
  get some sort of training camp T-shirt or a team T-shirt every
• 10:47
  year. And what do you do?
• 10:48
  You stare at that thing and you cut the sleeves off.
• 10:50
  Nice. It has to be done.
• 10:52
  And so that ended up being 90% of the time while I was training
• 10:55
  and playing and everything. I think like my journey through
• 10:57
  uni, I didn't even consider fashion being a thing like in in
• 11:02
  personal life and also in gym and fitness.
• 11:04
  It just wasn't a thing for me. So it's like I'll wear whatever,
• 11:06
  it doesn't matter. And I, I literally don't care.
• 11:08
  It's only more recently now where I'm like a little bit more
• 11:11
  conscious of it, but I, again, I was like, I wouldn't consider
• 11:14
  myself particularly fashionable and I don't go out of my way to
• 11:17
  like make things work, but there's certain things that I
• 11:19
  look at and I go, that's acceptable, that is
• 11:22
  unacceptable. That's cool.
• 11:24
  I want to wear it. So that's kind of more my
• 11:26
  fashion thing. It's like if I like it, I'm just
• 11:28
  going to wear it. I don't particularly go out of
• 11:30
  my way to make sure it it works all together.
• 11:33
  But yeah, there were certain things like I'm trying to look
• 11:37
  back at now where I did the tight T-shirt thing.
• 11:40
  That was tough. I think I've tried to eradicate
• 11:43
  it all out of my mind. But as I left uni and got into
• 11:46
  CrossFit, there was like a, the CrossFit, the code.
• 11:49
  And so you had to wear Lululemon shorts and they.
• 11:52
  Yeah, yeah. And then and they had to be like
• 11:54
  pretty long, like towards the, like the knee, or it was, or it
• 11:58
  was Reebok. And then you'd wear Stan socks.
• 12:01
  The more brightly coloured the better.
• 12:03
  I've got a drawer full of them at home that I no longer wear.
• 12:06
  And then it was like Reebok now that it's on your feet.
• 12:09
  So it's just like pretty tough. Long shorts, that's the thing
• 12:11
  that I vibe with for sure. Because yeah, I I mean, I still
• 12:15
  don't, but I didn't have the legs to not have long shorts at
• 12:18
  any point in time. But I also remember I've always
• 12:20
  been a high sock wearer. Yeah, always been as in like
• 12:25
  they've always like mid, mid shin.
• 12:27
  So not, not, not not. Not no, no, no no.
• 12:30
  Not old fashioned golfer. Just to clarify, just like a.
• 12:34
  High meal always come out on the top of the trainer.
• 12:36
  I've never been a trainer sock wearer really.
• 12:39
  But that led me into thinking about my trainer choice.
• 12:42
  Because right now, you know, because you've seen the shoes
• 12:46
  that I've got and the kind of state they're in, which is still
• 12:48
  bad by me. But like, I have a lot of shoes
• 12:51
  and I typically always make the wrong decision when I'm looking
• 12:54
  at do I go for a dark colour or a light colour?
• 12:56
  I choose the light colour and then I regret that because they
• 12:58
  look awful. I don't know what I used to
• 13:01
  train in when I first started when I was younger because I
• 13:04
  didn't have running shoes, which is what a lot I really trained
• 13:06
  in. But I also, I remember getting
• 13:08
  my first pair of Air Force Ones in like my penultimate year at
• 13:12
  university, so I don't know what I was wearing.
• 13:14
  Wow, yeah, that's quite late. I think I say I didn't have
• 13:17
  running shoes. I think when the the first Nike
• 13:20
  Flyknits came out I bought bright luminescent green ones
• 13:23
  and I think I used to do everything.
• 13:25
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had a pair of those as well.
• 13:27
  I think like when I was at school, I did everything in
• 13:30
  ASICS, like you know how like the gel ASIC trainers now are
• 13:34
  super popular. Yeah, I used to have those.
• 13:36
  I did all of my running and all my gym stuff and that and it was
• 13:39
  either that or football boots and then I didn't really have a
• 13:42
  casual trainer. But then through uni it was
• 13:45
  maybe like S BS or like dunks or something like that.
• 13:48
  I used to, yeah. I used to wear Vans.
• 13:51
  Oh yeah, I have. And Van Roger, actually a bad
• 13:53
  lifting shoe. But I didn't wear them for a
• 13:55
  reason. I know them because I was
• 13:56
  pretty. Much Yeah, Vans.
• 13:57
  We we went through a phase with Vans, but now I'm like, I try my
• 14:00
  hardest to wear white shoes whenever possible.
• 14:03
  So it's like, I know it's not a good choice, but when I'm in the
• 14:05
  gym I want to wear an all white trainer.
• 14:08
  Yeah, I I am the same. But like I said, my trainers
• 14:10
  aren't all white for very long, Yeah.
• 14:13
  Especially when you're in the gym, they do get trashed quite
• 14:14
  quickly. Surprisingly so, considering I
• 14:17
  don't feel like I kick anything. No, just the floor is always
• 14:20
  dark and it's always dirty. See, one of the reasons that
• 14:23
  people were in and wanted us to discuss this wasn't actually
• 14:26
  necessary about our floors. I'm hoping that that reminded a
• 14:28
  few people of what they used to do as well, so we could preface
• 14:31
  ourselves. So you didn't even need to bring
• 14:32
  that up. We didn't.
• 14:33
  No, I. Just wanted to see if you could
• 14:34
  expose yourself. Great, not quite on the same
• 14:36
  level as me. We've had some things that
• 14:40
  people have said that are fashion related, right, that we
• 14:44
  should discuss. One was almost a, well, I'd say
• 14:48
  1 was actually a grind. My gear suggestion but I think
• 14:51
  comes quite nicely under this which is wearing a Garmin or
• 14:55
  fitness watch at a dress up event.
• 14:58
  Grow up. Now however, I was also on the
• 15:02
  defensive with this straight away because I literally did.
• 15:05
  That last week. However.
• 15:08
  How are you going to track your steps?
• 15:09
  This was and then this was sent in by a woman.
• 15:13
  It was four women wearing dresses and having a a Garmin or
• 15:17
  a fitness tracker OK at the same time and I.
• 15:20
  Well, I can't comment on the dress.
• 15:22
  I can't comment on that, but I will say I understand that more
• 15:24
  than a suit with A at least it's.
• 15:26
  Hidden in a suit, if you're wearing a dress, it doesn't have
• 15:29
  arms. It's very obvious.
• 15:30
  That's what I'm thinking. But again, that's like my watch
• 15:34
  is part of my identity. And like it's, it's basically
• 15:37
  become part of my arm to the point where it's like, you can
• 15:41
  see how pale the skin is underneath that watch strap.
• 15:43
  But yeah, this never comes off. Never so.
• 15:46
  Never, unless it's charging. On that then I'll watch strap
• 15:51
  line tan lines becoming cool yeah they are yeah that's super
• 15:55
  cool because I haven't taken this one off the.
• 15:56
  Position you'll watch tan line the cooler you are.
• 15:58
  Because this, this for sure, this is like when skiers and
• 16:01
  snow waters have got the Google line at the end of the season
• 16:04
  because they've been spending so long in the park sick.
• 16:06
  Yeah. And like, that's cool.
• 16:07
  That's psychos with the with their they've got their strap
• 16:10
  from the helmet. Like always hand Don't know,
• 16:12
  that's cool. That's just like dedication, how
• 16:15
  long you've been wearing that helmet that you've been.
• 16:16
  It doesn't look ridiculous. The sick with the sunglasses
• 16:20
  line as well. I think that's sick.
• 16:21
  Again, go for tan. As well.
• 16:23
  Smart enough to watch this on YouTube instead of listening.
• 16:26
  Yeah, that's good. I think I've got.
• 16:27
  I don't know if this will actually show up on the camera,
• 16:29
  but there's quite a visible line there.
• 16:31
  It's not as good as mine, Joe. Charles is nowhere near as
• 16:37
  tanned as I am, so I'm expecting to be.
• 16:40
  It's actually not bad. It's definitely a pale little
• 16:43
  elbow, elbow, knuckle, wrist, knuckle.
• 16:44
  I don't know all eyes, but so that's that's one well.
• 16:47
  I've seen, I saw someone recently actually they'd, they'd
• 16:51
  dressed up for an event and they're taking their whoop off
• 16:54
  and they were really tanned and their whoop line was like wild,
• 16:58
  like super pale. And I'm like, at that point you
• 17:01
  might have as well just have worn the whoop.
• 17:03
  Like you can literally see the line.
• 17:04
  There's like no jewelry around. It's just like that's true.
• 17:07
  You've just worn your whoop. Our whoops as cool as finished
• 17:10
  watches though. I like the tan line.
• 17:13
  I like. The tan line, I think it's cool.
• 17:14
  I like the tan line, but if you're going to wear, if you're
• 17:16
  going to actually choose to wear it to an event, it's a whoop as
• 17:19
  cool as an actual watch. Because I I would then say if
• 17:22
  you're going to wear something on your wrist to an upmarket
• 17:26
  event and it's going to be a watch, it needs to be a watch.
• 17:28
  Yeah, not. I don't mind.
• 17:31
  I think it's just like the people I hang around with.
• 17:34
  I think I just hate whoop. Yeah, I think you hate.
• 17:36
  OK, this is this is taking me way down on a tangent, but this
• 17:39
  might be a bit contentious. What if you were?
• 17:42
  Because there's someone and he, if he's listening, he knows
• 17:45
  exactly who he is. What?
• 17:46
  And you probably know who he is as well.
• 17:48
  What if you wear your sports watch and your formal watch at
• 17:52
  the same time? Different wrists?
• 17:54
  That is just beyond psychopathic.
• 17:57
  If it's a sports watch, as in, it also tells the time.
• 18:01
  That's like Garmin and like. That's wild if it was.
• 18:04
  If it was like tag and woop, more acceptable.
• 18:08
  Yeah, for sure. That's OK because Woop doesn't
• 18:10
  have a watch face. But what I'm going to point out
• 18:12
  is we're basically wondering if this person wearing two time or
• 18:16
  having two ways of telling time at any time is ridiculous.
• 18:18
  I would say it's actually three ways of telling time because who
• 18:21
  does not have their phone on them as well?
• 18:22
  So like, yeah. Pick.
• 18:24
  One pick one. Who are you going to be today
• 18:26
  and be that person? Yeah, for sure.
• 18:28
  The next one that we've got is the barefoot shoes.
• 18:33
  This, I think, would come under gimmicks.
• 18:37
  Jim Hicks and also it's just generally awful choices if.
• 18:42
  I don't care how good they are for your feet, just don't wear
• 18:45
  them. But are they?
• 18:47
  I think there's lots of science around it, like a wider toe box
• 18:50
  is better if you're spreading your toes.
• 18:52
  I don't think I think they're the worst.
• 18:54
  I'm thinking about it now, I can't stop moving my toes about
• 18:57
  how that would feel with the toes moving.
• 18:59
  And you know, it's like, it's one of those things where at
• 19:03
  what point in your life does it become acceptable to take like
• 19:06
  couple selfies or, or just like, do you know what I mean?
• 19:09
  Like at some point in your life that happens and then you just
• 19:12
  start posting it on Instagram. Why, what, how does that happen?
• 19:15
  So it's the same thing. Do you just get to a point in
• 19:18
  your life where you're like, I need barefoot shoes?
• 19:21
  I that's. You know what I mean?
• 19:23
  Strange remark. I'm really scared now that I'm
• 19:25
  supposed to be getting close to that point, but that seems so
• 19:28
  unreasonable to me to be. Oh, so you've got, you've got,
• 19:30
  you've got like an age cut off. I think there has to be.
• 19:33
  Yeah, I don't want to say it in case I offend some people.
• 19:36
  I think it's, I think it's definitely forties, 40s, yeah,
• 19:40
  yeah. You're not getting close to
• 19:41
  that. No, but like, I mean, I'm a lot
• 19:44
  closer to that than I am. Yeah, well, I'm nearly closer to
• 19:46
  that than 20. Yeah, in a year, a bit of time.
• 19:48
  So that's scary. Yeah, just no one wear those.
• 19:53
  The next one, Iron Man tattoo. What's your thoughts on the Iron
• 19:58
  Man tattoo? I don't mind it I.
• 20:01
  Think personally go for. It I think as tattoos go, that's
• 20:05
  quite cool. Because I I can't, I mean there
• 20:07
  are some that don't look great or like so that's done bad.
• 20:10
  Yeah, that's the and it's like position of it, how it's done is
• 20:14
  really important. But I think it's, I think
• 20:18
  there's levels like obviously I, I, it's a huge achievement to do
• 20:22
  an Iron Man and I'll never take that away from anyone.
• 20:24
  But there's levels to it. Like if you're a world champion
• 20:27
  at Iron Man, I mean, if you've got a really fast Iron Man time,
• 20:30
  that's definitely more acceptable than I've just like
• 20:33
  walked around the course and got an Iron Man tattoo.
• 20:36
  I think I would if I, and maybe when I do an Iron Man, probably
• 20:40
  not. But if I did, I would get the
• 20:42
  tattoo because I'm not going to make that my career.
• 20:46
  And I want to mark that as an achievement because it is wild
• 20:49
  as an event today. And I think based on what I've
• 20:52
  seen everyone else do and what seems to make sad on the calf,
• 20:55
  on the calf. And I saw someone the other day
• 20:57
  that like the colours had faded. If it didn't look great, it
• 20:59
  should top that up because. Oh, they've gone like red it.
• 21:02
  Was red and blue. Really.
• 21:04
  Yeah. But the Iron Man, that's a brand
• 21:07
  in itself. You've essentially just got your
• 21:09
  like a brand tattooed on you. Yeah.
• 21:11
  And that's that for me is less cool.
• 21:13
  I still rate it though because it's like it's.
• 21:15
  Like what other brands would you tattoo on yourself?
• 21:17
  What would you love so much that you're going?
• 21:19
  To So I was going to say the Olympic tattoo.
• 21:22
  Yeah, I think, I think fair enough.
• 21:24
  Again, can't argue with. It if I go to the Olympics, I'm
• 21:26
  getting that huge, getting that huge tattoo.
• 21:29
  Across my whole. Back.
• 21:30
  Yeah, Huge. And like, I'm just spectating
• 21:32
  but I'm still getting it. I'll probably get multiple one
• 21:35
  on my back, on my arm so everyone can sit at all time
• 21:38
  everywhere. But you know, if I did the Iron
• 21:40
  Man, I'd probably get the tattoo as well, so I think that's cool.
• 21:42
  Yeah, I don't know if I'd get it.
• 21:44
  Like really big. Also, controversial point, do
• 21:48
  you get one for the 70.3? No Agreed.
• 21:52
  Thank you very much. I've seen a few sell for the
• 21:54
  tattoo. I've seen the Iron Man logo with
• 21:56
  70.3 as well. No, I don't think that's OK.
• 21:58
  Yeah, no. Someone else suggested wearables
• 22:03
  not specific to watch or a certain situation, but what
• 22:07
  other wearables would you like to see?
• 22:10
  As in, what metrics and what information would you like to be
• 22:13
  getting from fitness wearables? There's nothing that springs to
• 22:18
  mind. I see.
• 22:19
  Here we go. I thought that and then.
• 22:22
  You can't put me on the spot. Like that they Uno reversed it
• 22:24
  and I'm going to Uno reverse it for you to think about.
• 22:26
  Yeah, we do. Hydrox.
• 22:28
  Yeah, Hydrox. There are quite a few metrics
• 22:32
  that we can't measure at the moment.
• 22:34
  So you think about the skier, the row running, you can tell
• 22:37
  all your pacings. Yeah.
• 22:39
  Do you know your burpee ball jump pacing?
• 22:42
  But then I'm like, actually rewind that again.
• 22:45
  Imagine there's an integration with the PM 5.
• 22:49
  I don't know why that would be useful.
• 22:50
  The PM 5 For those that don't know, it's an incredibly neat
• 22:53
  thing. That is what the monitor is
• 22:55
  called on a rowing machine or a ski.
• 22:56
  Performance Monitor 5, if you didn't know yet, and there's
• 22:59
  been many iterations over the years.
• 23:01
  Yeah, what about an integration where you can, you can sync your
• 23:05
  Garmin or your whatever we've got to?
• 23:09
  The PM 5I mean that's. All the data.
• 23:11
  Surely that's around the corner for the PM 6, but yeah, what we
• 23:16
  broad jump pace? What about your knowing your
• 23:20
  average burpee broad jump distance?
• 23:22
  What about knowing your warble cadence?
• 23:24
  What about knowing your force that you can put out when you do
• 23:27
  your lunges, your lunge distance?
• 23:29
  All of these things that we haven't thought about for such a
• 23:34
  data-driven. Sport.
• 23:35
  Yeah, it's interesting. I was thinking.
• 23:37
  It's just that how, how do you measure force?
• 23:40
  Because you'd need like some sort of, I don't know, sensor in
• 23:45
  the floor. Or you input.
• 23:48
  So this is now getting really engineering here, so I don't
• 23:51
  want to go too much, but obviously force is a calculation
• 23:53
  so you could have your body weight and you can have a time.
• 23:56
  OK, in a moment. And you could work out rough
• 23:58
  forces with that. It wouldn't be necessarily
• 24:01
  completely accurate, but for you to be able to build off an
• 24:03
  understanding what your body's doing.
• 24:05
  No, all of those are very valid. I think that'll be quite cool.
• 24:08
  Yeah, very niche to. To high rocks, very niche, but
• 24:10
  this person is someone that's quite smart and is is like, I
• 24:14
  reckon they've got their way of doing it already.
• 24:16
  OK, fine. But yeah, where it was.
• 24:18
  You send that in. Yeah, just from my.
• 24:20
  Account I just wanted to. This account, yeah.
• 24:22
  Yeah. But what they did say is where
• 24:24
  would you not wear anything like that?
• 24:26
  Or like, where would you not? Because you know how some people
• 24:28
  wear their heart monitor on their arm?
• 24:30
  We wears ours. Wear ours on our chest strap.
• 24:32
  We've obviously got watches. You got the Woot bands.
• 24:36
  Would you ever wear anything on your lower body?
• 24:39
  I think that's if it was like some weird gadget that measured
• 24:43
  something like force production, for example, and it was similar
• 24:47
  to a Woot but you wore it around your ankle.
• 24:49
  I feel like that's even more acceptable because it's so much
• 24:52
  easier to hide True because I'm like going now.
• 24:55
  On your chips as well when you're running.
• 24:57
  Marathons or on on the laces of your shoe, like the cadence
• 25:01
  sensors for running and things like that.
• 25:02
  Or is there a compartment in the actual shoe that you can just
• 25:06
  slot this sensor into? Like all of that is way more
• 25:09
  excess. Like way more.
• 25:10
  Where you can hide it, hide it. So it's not.
• 25:12
  Yeah, because I still don't think it's fashionable to wear
• 25:16
  tech necessarily, apart from watches.
• 25:19
  Where they head mounted GoPro? Which has built in cooling on
• 25:23
  the front as well. I used to have one of those, the
• 25:25
  hat. Talking of fashion, the hats
• 25:27
  that had the solar power panel and a cooling hat when I was a
• 25:31
  kid. Yeah, that was cool.
• 25:35
  Talking about hats, I've taken the leap today and I'm not
• 25:37
  wearing one. I was going to say, actually
• 25:39
  this is unusual. I was really hoping, bearing in
• 25:42
  mind the topic that we're doing today, you're going to turn up
• 25:44
  in the Carhartt hat. You're for the last two episodes
• 25:46
  and I was going to say 3 episodes in a row, but you've
• 25:48
  not. Yeah, I know.
• 25:50
  This is like a. You've actually got a fresh.
• 25:51
  Heck and consideration of maybe like Charles 2.0 maybe getting
• 25:56
  rid of the hat. Charles 2.0.
• 25:57
  Wow. We'll see how long that lasts
• 26:00
  for. Well, rather than rambling on,
• 26:02
  we've got so much to talk about we do.
• 26:03
  So the next thing we're going to talk about is what's going on
• 26:07
  right now. OK, As of the people listening,
• 26:11
  right, Wimbledon. OK, Yeah, because it has
• 26:14
  started. It has started.
• 26:15
  And boy, what a start it has been, am I right?
• 26:18
  The weather has been impeccable. That's carried on for the last
• 26:21
  couple of weeks. We don't know if the courts will
• 26:22
  hold up. This is.
• 26:23
  This is the best, the best time of year for sport in my opinion.
• 26:26
  Like yeah, Tour de France, you've got, which starts in a
• 26:29
  week or so. You've got Wimbledon, you'll
• 26:31
  then have the golf the Open in July as well.
• 26:34
  So like ears all go. And what what could be more
• 26:37
  British about an event that you would pay to go and sit on a
• 26:41
  hill and watch ATV? It's crazy, but I couldn't think
• 26:44
  of anything better. But we had a couple messages in
• 26:50
  asking us to do our predictions for the tournament.
• 26:53
  Because we are tennis experts. Because we're tennis experts and
• 26:55
  we had seen the first few days and we really think we have an
• 26:58
  understanding of what's going to go on.
• 27:00
  So I've only gone as far as the solos.
• 27:03
  I've not considered the double s.
• 27:05
  No, because I think that's way too hard to predict and I wasn't
• 27:08
  going to sit down and spend all that long just to be inevitably
• 27:10
  wrong. So who do you think is in a
• 27:14
  women? Are we going to start with?
• 27:16
  Up to you. Let's start with men.
• 27:19
  So misogynistic, that's the word.
• 27:23
  I'm just going to skip past that.
• 27:26
  I don't think you can look past world #1 Carlos Alcaras.
• 27:32
  Is that how you pronounce his name?
• 27:34
  Yeah, I liked the role of the R Yeah, that was really nice.
• 27:38
  I think you can really. Yeah.
• 27:40
  Yannick Sinner. So he was he's on my list as
• 27:43
  well. So he was like my my second
• 27:45
  pick. Like I think that would be a
• 27:47
  good rivalry. And also Novak Djokovic.
• 27:51
  Yeah, I wouldn't overlook him either.
• 27:52
  I think Novak's obviously got the their history, the
• 27:56
  experience. He's won Wimbledon enough times
• 27:58
  you could put him in a final. He's probably not going to be
• 28:00
  sweating as much as say, the others outcomes have seen one as
• 28:03
  well. Yannick Sinner though I'm really
• 28:07
  hoping for a bit of an underdog or a comeback story, because
• 28:10
  after the French Open, when he sadly lost, he is probably
• 28:16
  better suited to grasp. You could argue that.
• 28:19
  And so I am hoping that yeah, he hits it with a physical
• 28:24
  advantage and comes with a bit of a chip on his shoulder as a
• 28:27
  mental. Edge, I think that's like,
• 28:28
  that's a really good pairing and I'd be interested to know what
• 28:31
  the draw looks like where they meet each other.
• 28:34
  Well, I think they would meet each other in the final, would
• 28:36
  they? They're one and two.
• 28:37
  Oh, perfect. Oh, great.
• 28:38
  Yeah, yeah. So I mean, on paper, that's the
• 28:41
  final that probably everyone wants to see.
• 28:43
  I I big Nova Novak Djokovic fan, so I wouldn't mind seeing him in
• 28:47
  the final either just because of like the prestige and like
• 28:51
  what's he one of the most majors?
• 28:54
  Yeah, at this point he has, yeah.
• 28:55
  So seeing him go against one of those two either to be honest
• 28:59
  with you would be a really good final.
• 29:01
  Cool. Are you going to go as far as to
• 29:02
  say games? Well, sets and games, No.
• 29:06
  Cool. Great, because I didn't want to
• 29:07
  have to do that either. OK, let's move on to the women
• 29:10
  then. Yeah, Have you got Sabalenka?
• 29:14
  Such a basic bit you by the way, not Savalenka, just to clarify
• 29:18
  that. Oh, you know a person.
• 29:20
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Reminds me of Emma Rata Carney.
• 29:23
  This is something that we glazed over last week when I
• 29:25
  embarrassed myself, or last episode when I embarrassed
• 29:27
  myself by not being able to remember Emma Rata Carney.
• 29:30
  I did reveal to Charles after it was.
• 29:32
  Even worse. Yeah, it's so much worse.
• 29:34
  My grandparents used to dog sit her dog or have her family dog
• 29:38
  so I really should have remembered.
• 29:39
  Such a good connection. That made it worse because I
• 29:41
  knew that and I was like, how? So for sure she was listening
• 29:43
  as. Well, yeah, she actually was.
• 29:46
  She's given me the silent treatment.
• 29:47
  Sentences are I've gone for Elena Rubicana.
• 29:53
  Really. Yeah, because, because.
• 29:56
  Of your deep dive on Google. Yeah, big time.
• 29:59
  But also she has done particularly well in Wimbledon
• 30:03
  in the last couple of years. She's gone semi final, quarter
• 30:05
  final again, grass is arguably one of her stronger points.
• 30:10
  And because through the last few seasons, she's again doing the
• 30:15
  natural thing where she, as you are an athlete building your
• 30:17
  career, you get more experience, you'll gain more of that
• 30:20
  exposure into these Grand Slams. And I do think I definitely
• 30:23
  think she's a bit of a wild card, but I think if she's going
• 30:26
  to win a Grand Slam this season, it would be Wimbledon.
• 30:33
  I like the fact that you just didn't agree with me and go for
• 30:36
  Sabalinka. It's.
• 30:37
  Just it's I wouldn't be this This makes my guess sound
• 30:42
  stupid, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sabalinka won,
• 30:44
  yeah. But so many factors, so many
• 30:47
  variables but like. Wimbledon is also historically
• 30:50
  great for just the underdog ruining and yeah, yeah, Your
• 30:53
  prediction. Yeah.
• 30:54
  We've seen it enough times with like, Rafael Nadal, Yeah, when
• 30:57
  he was both, like, in the top three seeds and then when he
• 31:01
  wasn't and started being the people that were.
• 31:02
  And, yeah. So there we go.
• 31:06
  That's that. Should we move on to grind my
• 31:09
  gears? I reckon, OK, so I've got like I
• 31:13
  put out on my story, which sounds funny to say if you say
• 31:17
  it fast, but I put out of the gym X yeah, it's very different
• 31:22
  to gimmicks. It's Gym X or let's just call it
• 31:26
  fitness X, which essentially I think some of them are actually
• 31:29
  grind my gears, but there's a few.
• 31:32
  I think that a quick fire the best thing and I think this is
• 31:35
  just a reflection of my followers on Instagram.
• 31:38
  I reckon you could say that 99% of these gym X were written in
• 31:44
  by me. OK.
• 31:45
  However, however, I didn't contribute 1.
• 31:49
  All right, so these are all. From from my followers, things
• 31:53
  that give people the ick when they're in the gym.
• 31:56
  So I'm just going to go through these quick fire.
• 31:59
  We don't need to discuss them necessarily.
• 32:03
  This one was good. You know the so they've said
• 32:05
  that squat bar, neck pillow, save it for the aeroplane.
• 32:09
  You know, when people take, I think it's like the hip pad for
• 32:12
  hip thrusts and they put it on the barbell to do back squats to
• 32:15
  protect their shoulders and their tramps.
• 32:17
  So apparently that's a bigot. You never done that.
• 32:21
  I'll definitely agree with that if I was dating someone and I
• 32:23
  saw them do that. This.
• 32:24
  Game, I agree with it. It's it's not a neck pad.
• 32:28
  It is it's for the hips. But I have done that when I was
• 32:31
  when I first started going to the gym, I was going on my own.
• 32:34
  It was. On the bar, well, that's why
• 32:35
  we're doing this. We're doing this podcast to help
• 32:37
  people like you and and. Also at the fault of the makers,
• 32:41
  why do they put like a neck shaped hole on it?
• 32:43
  Like, you know, like the dip. Well, maybe there is one for the
• 32:46
  neck. Maybe, but like it's not for
• 32:49
  those that maybe have used it or consider using it or don't think
• 32:52
  that it's a big problem. What it's doing is it's putting
• 32:54
  the weight off center off your body, which is actually quite
• 32:57
  dangerous. Well, I'm not even thinking.
• 32:59
  I'm not even considering that. I'm just like you don't need to
• 33:01
  use it you. Don't and it's actually going to
• 33:02
  come put your. Shoulders in the OR your hands
• 33:04
  in the right position. You've got an inbuilt neck pad
• 33:07
  already in the traps. Shame.
• 33:10
  Don't give it time of day, Angus.
• 33:12
  OK, so this one's quite tough and I like this one because it's
• 33:14
  fashion related. Gym shark scrunched leggings.
• 33:22
  No comment. Good look I think.
• 33:27
  But a comment. Yeah, I will comment.
• 33:30
  I think they are fashionable. I think for the people that buy
• 33:34
  them, they do, They have the desire.
• 33:36
  Effect. I don't like them.
• 33:38
  But I think as a product it was a bad idea.
• 33:44
  I think it was counterproductive.
• 33:47
  That's what some people were trying to say about gym
• 33:50
  clothing. OK, yeah, that's why I'm.
• 33:52
  I'll leave it at that because I feel like the more I talk, the
• 33:55
  more of a hole I dig. Yeah, stop people who wear
• 33:58
  gloves in the gym sick emoji. Can I add on to that please?
• 34:02
  People that also wear a belt the entire time they're in the gym.
• 34:06
  Do you know what I saw? Someone walking down the street
• 34:09
  wearing their lifters. I'm just like you.
• 34:12
  No anyway. I've definitely cycled in
• 34:14
  lifters just to and from the gym so I don't have to pack another
• 34:17
  pair of cheese. So hot.
• 34:18
  Yeah, I'm going to keep going. Yeah.
• 34:21
  So actually this one footwear choices just oh me out bro.
• 34:25
  What? Just like they.
• 34:27
  I've seen someone barefoot in the gym before as well.
• 34:29
  That's pretty well not in not in the barefoot shoes.
• 34:32
  Oh, just like actually RAW dying, yeah.
• 34:34
  You get the dogs. Out in in the freeway area.
• 34:36
  And what made me feel quite violently I'll was the fact
• 34:38
  that, you know when you're in between sets and you're like,
• 34:40
  scrolling on your phone and sometimes a foot finds herself
• 34:43
  on top of a dumbbell. Oh, start.
• 34:45
  Barefoot. So that that leaves on leans
• 34:47
  onto this one, not cleaning equipment afterwards, which I
• 34:50
  don't think is an IC. I just think that's a grind my
• 34:52
  gear. I got sent a photo this week for
• 34:55
  grind my gears and I will say I wasn't aware you could do that.
• 34:59
  Please do that carefully. You will be blocked if you take
• 35:03
  too much. Advantage the mindsets followers
• 35:05
  are going hard on SO this week. I got a photo of a rowing
• 35:10
  machine that was being used as a coffee cup ledge.
• 35:16
  So the whole thing was just full of coffee cups and like, you
• 35:19
  wouldn't be able to use their own machine because it was empty
• 35:20
  coffee cups and coffee cups with it on.
• 35:22
  Yeah, that's not, that's not a proper use of gym.
• 35:25
  Equipment. That's tough, isn't it?
• 35:27
  Hang on, I'm keeping going. Keep going.
• 35:28
  We'll go quick fire now. We'll just get through these,
• 35:31
  someone wrote in overhead squats or an ick.
• 35:34
  Valid. Yeah, I think if you do them
• 35:36
  well, they're really cool, but if you don't, they're horrible.
• 35:39
  Barbell loading etiquette when you put the plates in the wrong
• 35:43
  order or like little plates or like.
• 35:44
  If if the plates don't match. Do you know what I saw?
• 35:47
  Yeah, the 10 KG plate, one side, 2 fives on the other or.
• 35:51
  Or even or even. Different types of plates,
• 35:53
  different size, Yeah. Like if you're using Olympic
• 35:55
  bumper plates and then you go ahead and different weights,
• 35:57
  yeah. They, they are, they must be,
• 35:59
  yeah they have to be selfies whilst running slash filming
• 36:02
  yourself training contentious. That is an ick, which is funny
• 36:07
  because it's also some people's job.
• 36:09
  Yeah, this, This is why I was like the everyone who's
• 36:14
  listening to this, who knows me will be like, you definitely
• 36:16
  fabricated these. But people who've call Slash
• 36:19
  think Turf Games as a CrossFit competition, which is very
• 36:23
  niche, but Crossfitters don't like it being called a CrossFit
• 36:26
  comp. It's functional fitness.
• 36:28
  It's not a CrossFit comp. But like, he's CrossFit, not
• 36:32
  functional fitness as well. I don't want to get into it.
• 36:36
  I was trying. I was dangling the Bay wearing
• 36:39
  white socks with black trainers. These are old fashioned.
• 36:43
  Actually these are good. Really.
• 36:44
  I've done it. I mean, I wear black socks with
• 36:46
  white trainers because I've got no socks left.
• 36:49
  What am I supposed to do? I'm not going sockless in my
• 36:52
  shoes. They'll stink.
• 36:54
  All right now, if you knew who said this would be a bit more
• 36:58
  fun and a bit more interesting, But they've said when girls wear
• 37:01
  socks over their leggings, you know if they're wearing like
• 37:06
  like mid shin like socks this I get it in the winter.
• 37:09
  This is a. Fashion thing as well.
• 37:11
  I have seen boys and I do you know what out myself in case
• 37:15
  someone's seen it and tries to out me.
• 37:16
  I've done it twice wearing socks over the bottom of tracksuit
• 37:21
  bottoms. I will argue the reason I did it
• 37:26
  was because again, we've spoken about the length of socks that I
• 37:28
  wear. I like to wear them just above
• 37:30
  the ankle, but certain tracksuit bottoms aren't long enough to
• 37:34
  get to my ankle, so I wouldn't know about that.
• 37:37
  I don't want to be seen as the guy wearing three quarter length
• 37:40
  trousers in the gym, so I'd rather be the guy that wears
• 37:42
  socks over the bottom. Maybe fair enough, but now I'm
• 37:44
  just a permanent shorts wearer. You've got to do what you've got
• 37:46
  to do. Let's finish.
• 37:48
  Let's all those. Yeah.
• 37:49
  You want to stop on those? My gym X but you go grind my
• 37:53
  gears. OK, grind my gears this week.
• 37:54
  So these are these are ones that people have sent in.
• 37:56
  The ones people have sent. So we don't have to incriminate
• 37:58
  ourselves anymore. We don't.
• 37:59
  That's perfect. For those of you that were
• 38:01
  unaware, it was the High Rocks World Championships.
• 38:06
  The weekend pretty much just gone actually at the time of
• 38:09
  recording. Hugely successful event for some
• 38:12
  people, slightly less successful for other people and the general
• 38:15
  organization at times. However, X.
• 38:21
  There's a whole high rocks world champs.
• 38:23
  Well, there's not I I was told by someone that was at the High
• 38:26
  Rocks World Champs. They went to the beach two days
• 38:28
  later and Tim Weinish, who is the world champ, was still
• 38:33
  wearing his medal two days later on the beach.
• 38:36
  I. Know who sent that in?
• 38:37
  Yeah, I think that is quite. That is disgusting.
• 38:41
  No, I mean. Legend I understand.
• 38:44
  You're a world champ but like you are the world champ without
• 38:46
  the medal and two days later is quite a long time.
• 38:49
  He's definitely. Getting a high rocks tattoo for
• 38:51
  sure. Oh.
• 38:52
  Yeah. Which maybe, Yeah.
• 38:54
  Anyway, that is actually so good.
• 38:58
  I hope they have a photo. Full kit wankers running less
• 39:02
  than 5 kilometers to work. They love putting all the
• 39:06
  running gear on to run less the. Last time I said this on the
• 39:08
  podcast, I got in trouble. You specifically targeted
• 39:12
  running vests. At a Highrox event.
• 39:15
  Oh, at a Highrox event? Yeah, we agreed that was fair
• 39:17
  enough. So I'm I'm, I'm back on the
• 39:18
  fence. You were whatever you want.
• 39:20
  Again, Highrox related. And this ties us and brings us
• 39:25
  nicely into the next section. There are some new rules.
• 39:28
  Oh yeah, one of the new rules, which is a grime idea for
• 39:32
  somebody is an an also a Jimmy Ick.
• 39:36
  In fact, possibly the most icky thing is that if you want to
• 39:40
  take your trainers off to do your wobbles, you must carry
• 39:43
  them across the line. Being seen carrying my trainers
• 39:47
  across the line is possibly the worst thing I can imagine.
• 39:50
  I didn't know this was a thing people did.
• 39:52
  I didn't either. I I was aware that Dylan Scott,
• 39:55
  the men's Elite 15 winner, when it was when the last race
• 39:59
  happened, that was the Elite 15 major in US, can't remember
• 40:02
  where it was. He did it and well, he.
• 40:07
  Took his shoes off to do wool walls and won the race.
• 40:10
  Controversial and then left his shoes there and he was told
• 40:13
  before the race started. Carry your shoes across the
• 40:16
  line. No integrity in the sport, but
• 40:20
  they've changed that now. Yeah, well, at least they're now
• 40:23
  there's an official rule, and if you do it, you can't get away
• 40:26
  with it. But why are you taking your
• 40:28
  shoes off, man? I would, I would like to think
• 40:31
  genuinely the time that you're saving by taking your shoes off,
• 40:35
  you've wasted by taking your shoes off.
• 40:37
  But it's it must, it must be more than that.
• 40:38
  It must be a I'm uncomfortable doing wobbles in my carbons
• 40:42
  because it's rocking me forwards onto my toes.
• 40:44
  I think it's the opposite when I so when I wear a certain race
• 40:48
  shoes and I'm racing a few different pairs now, they are
• 40:50
  quite soft at the back and as I drop into a squat personally I
• 40:54
  fall back. Oh, really?
• 40:57
  Just because of the way that, for me anyway, the carbons they
• 41:00
  create, it's like rocky forwards and propel you forwards.
• 41:03
  I just get that straight into my face.
• 41:05
  Because when I squat, for example, I squat with a my heel
• 41:09
  elevated, so I'd rather my heel elevated a little bit.
• 41:11
  Another rule that has or adjustment that has been made by
• 41:15
  high rocks is that there aren't any distance penalties anymore.
• 41:18
  So we've gone time based, which I think makes a lot more sense.
• 41:21
  Oh for sure. I have witnessed first hand this
• 41:24
  season that the sled pool penalty was a joke.
• 41:28
  If you got you got one warning, then you got a penalty and the
• 41:33
  penalty was 10 meters of sled pool.
• 41:35
  Now the way that that was enforced was you had to finish
• 41:38
  your sled pool. You then run back to the other
• 41:41
  end, which is 12 1/2 meters of a jog or run, depending on how
• 41:44
  tied you are. You then put it 5 meters the
• 41:47
  other way. Then you run all the way back to
• 41:49
  the other side and then you put it 5 meters and then you can
• 41:52
  leave again. And I just, I think considering
• 41:55
  that especially now, you would get a penalty for stepping on
• 41:59
  the line front and back. And you if you do that twice,
• 42:02
  that's just a case of losing your balance or not genuinely
• 42:05
  not being aware of being given the first warning, which was
• 42:07
  what happened in the case that I witnessed it destroy a race in.
• 42:11
  That's a nightmare. And then in watching that they
• 42:15
  tried to give them another penalty on the penalty, which
• 42:18
  would have been to do it again. So it will go into time base.
• 42:22
  I think it's a lot easier mentally as well to be told
• 42:24
  you've got penalty and just move on.
• 42:25
  Across all of them, yeah, yeah. Now consistency across all of
• 42:29
  them, Yes and no and no, because running laps counts if you, you
• 42:37
  basically get a different time penalty dependent on the number
• 42:39
  of laps that are required to be run between each station on the
• 42:44
  assumption that you have missed one lap.
• 42:45
  So worst case scenario and some of these faster courses where or
• 42:49
  seemingly faster courses where there is one lap of running for
• 42:51
  the whole kilometer, if you missed that lap, which is
• 42:55
  arguably quite impressive, you are disqualified.
• 42:57
  Yeah. Totally fair.
• 43:00
  It's so fair. If it's two laps, yeah, I can't
• 43:02
  remember. I think, I think it's 4 minutes.
• 43:05
  If it's three laps, it's 3 minutes.
• 43:06
  If it's four laps, it's 2 minutes.
• 43:10
  I would like to just double check that because if it's four
• 43:12
  laps, knowing what it was like in Cardiff, maybe I'm optionally
• 43:14
  taking a couple of those penalties because towards the
• 43:17
  end I don't think I was running 2 minute laps.
• 43:20
  But that's an important thing to note.
• 43:22
  The next thing is that they have, like I said, they've made
• 43:25
  a slight adjustment to the sled pool.
• 43:27
  So there's no, there was no stepping over the back line.
• 43:30
  There was some lenience with the front line.
• 43:32
  Now they're going to be hot on the front line as well.
• 43:34
  But it's just like being hot on it because there you did get
• 43:40
  penalized if you went over the back line.
• 43:42
  But I don't know, however many hundreds of people I've seen go
• 43:46
  over the back line, there's only one judge standing there
• 43:49
  watching like 6-7 people, probably more people actually.
• 43:52
  And you're, you're getting, you're not getting penalized.
• 43:53
  I think one of the things that was difficult about the front
• 43:55
  line in the past is that the way that they've marked out the sled
• 43:58
  lanes, the front of the sled pool didn't have a white line
• 44:01
  all the way across it. OK, that's some of that.
• 44:05
  But the back line is always been a solid line.
• 44:06
  Where is now with the new term solid line, which is
• 44:09
  controversial in itself. There's a solid line so it's a
• 44:11
  lot easier to essentially see next one.
• 44:15
  I don't think anyone asked for this.
• 44:17
  More age groups for pro. That's not what I thought you
• 44:21
  were going to say. Well, I mean, it's it's not
• 44:23
  going to affect me. I assume 25 to 29 is a pretty
• 44:26
  small range. But yeah, more age groups.
• 44:30
  I don't know if it was essentially that necessary.
• 44:33
  Was it as a way of getting more people to qualify for world
• 44:35
  champs now that they you can only qualify through pro
• 44:37
  category? I don't want to say that it's a
• 44:39
  money making thing, but it could well be.
• 44:42
  It could be we've spoken about the shoes off for wool wools.
• 44:46
  No spitting. Yeah, so that's what I thought
• 44:48
  you. Were going to say off the
• 44:49
  Fleming which? The old snot.
• 44:50
  Also, yeah, I. What who's that?
• 44:53
  Who's doing that? Surely I've I I'm saying that,
• 44:58
  but I've seen people spit on the run and I'm just like, what is
• 45:01
  wrong with you? I How have you got saliva in
• 45:04
  your? Mouth I So can you safely say
• 45:06
  that I've never done that? The the whole snot rocket thing,
• 45:08
  that's wild. I've never seen anyone do that.
• 45:10
  I understand that some people get dry mouth and then try and
• 45:13
  have like a gel and it just gets minging in their mouth.
• 45:16
  But at the same time, do you know what I was about to say?
• 45:19
  At the same time, just be better.
• 45:20
  But like sometimes you can't. Sometimes you're in a position
• 45:25
  where like you are on the run and there's no water or
• 45:27
  anything. I don't know what I would do in
• 45:30
  that situation. But I'm just like, if your mouth
• 45:33
  is dry and you need water, why is the first thing you're going
• 45:37
  to think about doing is spitting?
• 45:39
  No, not that your mouth is so like you've almost got like the
• 45:42
  sticky mouth, OK, you've had a gel and you want to have water
• 45:46
  and like it's now like. There's no way you can spit
• 45:48
  though because it's just like it's all stuck together in your
• 45:51
  mouth. I.
• 45:51
  Don't know, I feel like I've had it in sport and I'm I hate
• 45:53
  spitting just. Spit in the bin.
• 45:56
  There's enough bins around. There are and and some places,
• 45:59
  and this isn't actually mentioned, but some places we're
• 46:02
  giving out penalties this year for not putting your.
• 46:04
  Cups in. I think that's fine.
• 46:06
  Yeah, that's fine. I think that is, but that's so
• 46:08
  fucking harsh. Yeah, it is what it is.
• 46:12
  With that, as far as I'm aware, is pretty much all the wall
• 46:15
  changes. The only other one that was
• 46:17
  mentioned, which I thought was pretty much guaranteed anyway,
• 46:19
  was if you start in the wrong way you're disqualified.
• 46:21
  Yeah, or you can't. If you can't start in an earlier
• 46:23
  wave, wait for your own wave. I didn't know you could do that
• 46:26
  in first place. In fact, there are two people
• 46:28
  checking numbers every single time you go in, So surely not my
• 46:31
  fault if it happens. Yeah.
• 46:34
  So that that is the hierarchical changes.
• 46:36
  Is there anything else that you would you have picked up on
• 46:39
  going into next season? I don't think so.
• 46:40
  Obviously the big one is that you can only qualify for world
• 46:43
  champs through pro category, which is the way it should have
• 46:45
  been anyway. But yeah, that is what it is
• 46:47
  now. But does that ruin racing?
• 46:51
  Maybe a little bit. And like the fun of the
• 46:54
  literally anyone and everyone could in theory, qualify.
• 46:58
  Because I don't think I'm ever going to do an open race again
• 47:01
  unless it's purely fun, like with how and genuinely with how
• 47:04
  much the tickets cost now, I don't see myself wanting to do
• 47:08
  an open race because that's quite a lot of money to do well
• 47:12
  to go towards something that actually doesn't get me
• 47:13
  anywhere. Yeah, in the sport.
• 47:15
  Well, I mean, if it's like there'll be the the large
• 47:19
  percentage of people are just doing high rocks for fun, aren't
• 47:21
  they? So I guess it's neither here nor
• 47:23
  there. But for someone like me.
• 47:25
  Nice. Yeah.
• 47:25
  For Someone Like You who is looking towards the the the
• 47:30
  higher end of the sport and looking to qualify for world
• 47:32
  champs then you shouldn't be wasting your time on open
• 47:35
  category. And that's, that's genuinely why
• 47:36
  I think I have a bit of a love for mixed double s because I get
• 47:39
  to do the open way without having to do it.
• 47:40
  And I I I also. Well, then I you'll have to
• 47:43
  you'll have to be able to qualify then if there, there
• 47:46
  must still be. Mixed level is still technically
• 47:49
  mental because it's still women's pro way, but that's
• 47:51
  just. Going to make it even more
• 47:52
  competitive, I think. Yeah, it's going to, even though
• 47:55
  it was probably one of the most competitive categories.
• 47:57
  Anyway, yeah. So yeah, that's that's the high
• 48:00
  world wrap up, which brings us nicely.
• 48:02
  Yeah, sorry if you didn't like high rocks.
• 48:04
  Yeah, we we kept it short and sweet, but now if you are
• 48:08
  thinking about giving it a go, we've updated you with the
• 48:09
  rules. There's no excuses.
• 48:13
  The game this week? Oh, we're already.
• 48:15
  There. I think we're there.
• 48:16
  OK, I've invented the game this week.
• 48:20
  So listeners, please do bear with I gave this a trial run
• 48:24
  this afternoon and I think it went well.
• 48:26
  Essentially what we've. Got not with me by.
• 48:28
  The way, yeah, not with, but the take away was that it would work
• 48:32
  better with you because apparently you and I think more
• 48:36
  alike than me and my own girlfriend.
• 48:39
  Slightly concerning, yeah. So what's going to go on here is
• 48:43
  we are going to play a game where we're going to give each
• 48:46
  other topics. Now the topics we're giving, we
• 48:50
  have each made a list of five things associated to that topic.
• 48:54
  As an example, Charles could give me his, he could say top
• 49:00
  five dinners. Right now what I'm going to do
• 49:04
  is I'm going to guess the five things he's put on his list that
• 49:07
  he has down as top five dinners. For every single one that I
• 49:11
  guess that is on his list, he gets a point.
• 49:13
  So it is in his interest that I am probably going to guess them.
• 49:17
  So he can't just think about himself.
• 49:18
  He's got to think about things that I think are in his top five
• 49:21
  dinners. So there's a bit of a two way to
• 49:23
  this because he's going to get all the points and I don't want,
• 49:26
  I'm going to be fair. I'm not going to just be like
• 49:28
  broccoli on its own, like really niche.
• 49:30
  Yeah, OK, because I actually want the the satisfaction of
• 49:33
  guessing them. But we have both written our two
• 49:37
  topics and our list of five things down.
• 49:39
  I'm really nervous now. Would you like to go 1st and
• 49:41
  tell me one of your topics? OK, what is your first topic for
• 49:47
  me to guess? Meal deal snacks.
• 49:53
  Oh, OK. That's good, right?
• 49:55
  That's a really good, right. OK, so we've got 5 that you need
• 49:58
  to guess, and I don't think I've done that good a job, but in my
• 50:02
  head I was like, I need to find a topic that he loves and that I
• 50:06
  always say I'm very passionate about.
• 50:08
  I did. Have a meal deal today?
• 50:10
  But then then I then as I was writing them down, I was like,
• 50:13
  I'm struggling to know what his choices would be beyond maybe
• 50:16
  like one or two. 5 is a lot of different snacks because I'm a
• 50:19
  creature of habit with meal deals.
• 50:22
  I don't know if you are as well, because then if you are, then
• 50:24
  you only you only have. To I have my backups.
• 50:26
  I have my backup OK, fine, so I can roll through those OK, so
• 50:29
  meal deal snacks. And this is this is where the
• 50:32
  game's hard. I don't know if you've got
• 50:33
  things that you know I get or I'm supposed to know you get.
• 50:38
  I'm going to start off with the chicken satay skewers.
• 50:40
  Oh, Charles, Yeah, I didn't have that one.
• 50:43
  OK, I I merely wrote that one down as well.
• 50:46
  So tough. I'm going to go for another.
• 50:48
  I'm going to go for another great option for me which might
• 50:53
  get slated pork pies. I'm going to give myself sausage
• 50:58
  rolls. OK, Yeah, yeah.
• 50:59
  Because like I was saying, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 51:01
  Pork pies not there. Yeah.
• 51:02
  Yeah, I'm giving myself. Like cool, a lot of people
• 51:05
  listening going to me like that's bollocks.
• 51:07
  No, it's OK. That's fully fair.
• 51:11
  A grenade protein bar. I didn't even put a protein bar
• 51:14
  either. Oh no, this is not going well.
• 51:16
  This game's great. So glad I invented it.
• 51:20
  Two more, two more, two more. It's like a shoo in snack.
• 51:24
  It's like when you think meal deal.
• 51:26
  It's a classic snack. Everyone gets it.
• 51:31
  I am having an Emma Radicani moment.
• 51:33
  Yeah, now everyone gets. I don't think like.
• 51:36
  It wouldn't necessarily be my go to, but if you think like
• 51:40
  standard, run-of-the-mill person going to get a meal deal,
• 51:43
  they're getting their main meal and then they're getting this as
• 51:46
  a snack for sure. Standard person that does
• 51:49
  fitness or no? Just general population.
• 51:52
  I'm so sorry. When you see a photo a.
• 51:54
  A packet of crisps, yes. OK.
• 51:56
  OK. OK, Chris.
• 51:57
  OK. There you go all.
• 52:01
  Right, so you've got one point. Sorry, no.
• 52:03
  I'm. Taking the sausage roll 1.
• 52:05
  Oh yeah, 2 points. Sorry.
• 52:07
  So I've got one more, one more guess.
• 52:09
  What else would you have gone for?
• 52:11
  Come on Angus, be good. Sushi.
• 52:18
  What? Sushi is an elite snack if you
• 52:21
  can get a decent one. I didn't even know that was a
• 52:23
  snack. Yeah, they've got the main and
• 52:25
  they've got the snack version. Obviously not.
• 52:27
  OK, So what were you? What was your list?
• 52:28
  What? Was your whole list my list?
• 52:30
  Now I don't want to tell you I had fruit pot.
• 52:33
  Because I. Was just like I nearly said,
• 52:34
  mango Standard, standard choice. Quite a lot of those free pots
• 52:38
  are main now as well. Not the big ones, the small
• 52:41
  ones. OK, then the yoghurt pouch.
• 52:43
  Because I was like, we'd spoken about that before on the
• 52:46
  podcast. Terrible choice.
• 52:48
  Yeah, it wasn't great. Then I put crisps.
• 52:50
  Yeah, and they put pepperami. I'm not a child.
• 52:55
  They're like as big as my little finger.
• 52:59
  I'm not going for that as my whole.
• 53:00
  And then and then I had the sausage rolls.
• 53:02
  Oh, it's not been a good. Round.
• 53:04
  That's not a good round. OK, I'm bringing it back to
• 53:06
  sport. OK, Perfect NBA basketball
• 53:10
  teams. OK, this is good.
• 53:13
  This is better. I don't know if I can name 5.
• 53:17
  Right. I'm going Bulls.
• 53:20
  Correct. Good.
• 53:22
  OK, I've got one. Lakers.
• 53:24
  Correct. Oh, I'm I'm going to go the
• 53:29
  Celtics. Yes, OK, this is very good.
• 53:33
  I've I've. Here, when I was writing my
• 53:35
  list, I had to do so much thinking about how you were
• 53:38
  going to think about this. OK.
• 53:40
  Do you think I was thinking of players who played for the teams
• 53:43
  or geography? That and some other
• 53:46
  considerations as well. That's.
• 53:47
  Useless to me, Miami Heat. Correct.
• 53:51
  Oh my, 4 out of five. Oh my God, if you get this last
• 53:54
  one. Amy was right, we do think more
• 53:57
  alike than. I'm going to say Golden State
• 54:01
  Warriors. Fuck no.
• 54:02
  Is that even a team? Yeah, yeah, I went for Oklahoma
• 54:06
  because they just won. I thought you'd go for that
• 54:09
  because you'd be like, he'll do that because they just won.
• 54:14
  OK, see. That was good, that.
• 54:16
  Was really good. That was a really good round.
• 54:17
  Well, I got caught between with Miami Heat and New York Knicks
• 54:21
  because I was like, if he likes friends, they talk about the
• 54:24
  Knicks all the time friends. And he might just go for that
• 54:26
  because it rolls off his tongue, but the Knicks are bad.
• 54:27
  I'm. I'm Yeah.
• 54:29
  What order did you have them? Boston Celtics.
• 54:31
  OK, Oklahoma. Was this an order that you
• 54:33
  thought I would get them or just random?
• 54:35
  Just the order that they came into my head.
• 54:37
  Boston Celtics, Oklahoma, LA Lakers, Chicago Bulls, Miami
• 54:40
  Heat. Interesting.
• 54:42
  Miami Heat, I very nearly went for the Cavaliers as well
• 54:46
  because like, if you're going to think of LeBron, yeah, then you
• 54:48
  might go cleaver. Such it's yeah, it's definitely
• 54:51
  a tough one to choose. OK your next my next one I went
• 54:56
  best gym strength exercises. You're going to get some big
• 55:01
  points here, so. I hope so.
• 55:03
  OK. Squat.
• 55:04
  Not already got it. I thought you're going to say
• 55:06
  no. Yeah.
• 55:07
  Squats #1 on my list. Yeah, bench press.
• 55:12
  Oh no, I'm just going to go for the three powerlifting exercises
• 55:18
  straight off, but I'm not going deadlift.
• 55:20
  Good. Yeah, OK.
• 55:21
  I like your style. Yeah, I I didn't have bench
• 55:23
  because I was doing, I was doing like what you would probably
• 55:27
  program for yourself. See, now that has changed what I
• 55:31
  was going to say next. Maybe I'm going to save that
• 55:34
  until the end. I'm going to save that until the
• 55:35
  end. Or if I can struggle.
• 55:37
  So what was it? Strength building exercise.
• 55:39
  Just best strength exercises and the.
• 55:41
  Best strength exercise in the gym?
• 55:43
  So we've got squat. That's it.
• 55:46
  We're doing. Well, we are doing well.
• 55:50
  Overhead press, yes, OK, build an exercise.
• 55:58
  So we've got that. Again, we've got nothing else.
• 56:08
  And I thought, full body. Yeah, we've got them all, Slash.
• 56:14
  Also just things that you'd said to me previously on previous
• 56:17
  episodes. Yeah.
• 56:19
  So I think I am actually going to say the thing that I don't
• 56:23
  know if you've avoided. I'm going to say pull ups.
• 56:27
  Good choice. OK.
• 56:28
  I have pull ups. You've got three out of four so
• 56:30
  far. The last one good overall
• 56:33
  strength building exercise. There's one that comes to mind
• 56:36
  you could which I think is prevalent for me at the moment
• 56:39
  because I've started programming this myself in this time away
• 56:44
  from hierarchs. Oh shit.
• 56:47
  Just thought of another thing. The pressure's on.
• 56:50
  Let's go for what I was going to say, glute thrusts.
• 56:55
  Why would you go for that? What was it?
• 56:58
  I had RDLS because I was like, he's not going to go for
• 57:01
  deadlifts, but he he wants to put some sort of ham sharing
• 57:04
  like posterior work in. So that was one of them.
• 57:06
  And then Bulgarian split squats. See.
• 57:09
  You didn't think I'd go squats and split squats?
• 57:11
  I didn't think you'd do squats and split squats and probably
• 57:14
  another lower body exercise. So when I was thinking I'm going
• 57:17
  to go lower body exercise, I was thinking let's.
• 57:20
  But you know, when we did the blind ranking and you were like,
• 57:23
  I when you put Bulgarian split squats too, and I was like,
• 57:26
  what? And you're like, I don't think
• 57:28
  there's a movement that does its job better than a split squats.
• 57:31
  So I'm just like, come on, Angus.
• 57:34
  For some reason, I kind of took your list is like if I'm going
• 57:36
  to have the five best exercise, I'm only going to do those for
• 57:39
  the rest of my life. OK, That's how I.
• 57:40
  Maybe it wasn't. Communicated well.
• 57:42
  OK, my next topic. How many?
• 57:45
  How many points are you on now then?
• 57:47
  Not many. I think I got 2 in the meal deal
• 57:49
  and maybe 3 there. OK.
• 57:51
  Cool. So you're on five.
• 57:52
  We were already going to make this first to five, but that
• 57:53
  would mean that I don't get a turn now and I want to have my
• 57:56
  turn. So Winter Olympic events.
• 57:59
  Why you do this to me? I'll be fair to you in that I
• 58:06
  haven't put like distances or like.
• 58:09
  It's just like a. It's like, it's kind of like a
• 58:11
  sport, but a lot of the sports use the same equipment, so or
• 58:14
  similar. Equipment, OK, so if I say one
• 58:16
  it could be like? Yeah.
• 58:18
  And I will do it within reason, because I'm aware that I get the
• 58:20
  points here right. So if I say skiing, does that
• 58:25
  count or you're like I need downhill or slalom?
• 58:28
  OK, so I put slalom slash slash downhill skiing.
• 58:31
  So I just said both of those. Yeah, but there's other within
• 58:33
  the realm. Yeah, but there are other things
• 58:36
  that have got the word skiing in.
• 58:37
  OK, so I get a point. You get.
• 58:40
  I get a point, right. So then obviously it's going to
• 58:43
  be like cross country skiing. Yes, right.
• 58:46
  Two points. Is that a Winter Olympic sport?
• 58:51
  Yeah. I thought it was like Biathon.
• 58:53
  No big Winter Olympic sport Nordic ski.
• 58:55
  Well, I I know it's a big sport. But I think there's a distance
• 58:57
  it relates to. It's like 5000 meters Nordic.
• 58:59
  Oh right, Nordic ski. But I thought it was like you
• 59:01
  skied with a gun on your back. Yeah, that's also sick that that
• 59:05
  is a sport. Yeah, that's a great sport.
• 59:07
  We need to talk about winter, about cross country skiing.
• 59:11
  Well, in episode, let's say 75 to 80 ish, it'll be the right
• 59:18
  time. OK, so if you're listening to
• 59:19
  this, subscribe, share it with her.
• 59:22
  Because I I want to talk about the summer variation with the
• 59:25
  people rollerblading with the poles in the park.
• 59:29
  And if you were excited by episode 70 to 80, we'll come
• 59:31
  back next time because we'll talk about people with holes in
• 59:35
  the park. I want to get into it and I
• 59:37
  don't know how you do, so if anyone listening can help me out
• 59:39
  with that. Anyway, we digress.
• 59:42
  So then if I say snowboarding, I've got some options here
• 59:46
  because it could be like it's a half pipe.
• 59:49
  Or it could have. Options.
• 59:50
  Yeah, or like snowboard cross I think is a sport.
• 59:53
  It is. I'm going to park snowboarding
• 59:56
  for a second base of your reaction.
• 59:58
  OK I'm struggling already and I've only done 1/2 things.
• 1:00:04
  We have got both of them though they were both points.
• 1:00:07
  OK, what else do you do at the Winter Olympics?
• 1:00:10
  I know, right? I was thinking that.
• 1:00:12
  What else have I watched? There's got to be some like
• 1:00:19
  tricky, like trick skiing like. OK.
• 1:00:24
  I don't know what it's called though.
• 1:00:25
  I think it, I think it's aerial. When they go down off like the
• 1:00:29
  huge jump or mogul No, that's. Different about it.
• 1:00:34
  Couldn't like the speed moguls. I'm I'm stumped.
• 1:00:37
  I don't know any anything about the Winter Olympics.
• 1:00:39
  I hate the Winter Olympics. Every time we do a quiz I get
• 1:00:45
  this. Isn't a quiz.
• 1:00:46
  It feels like a quiz. I'm sweating.
• 1:00:50
  All right, well, then I'm going to.
• 1:00:51
  I'm going to go for that aerial trick jumping ski thing.
• 1:00:55
  Zero point. Brilliant.
• 1:00:57
  So how many guesses do I have? Left two?
• 1:00:59
  You've got two, Yeah. All right, so we need need to go
• 1:01:02
  back to snowboarding because I'm clutching at straws here.
• 1:01:04
  OK, everyone listening is like, how do you not know anything
• 1:01:07
  about winter sports? So I'm going to go for, I don't
• 1:01:13
  know what it's called, the halfpipe, snowboarding halfpipe.
• 1:01:16
  0 points. What's that called?
• 1:01:19
  Halfpipe. Is it perfect?
• 1:01:23
  Let me have a think. We've exhausted skiing.
• 1:01:28
  We're exhausted snowboarding. What I will say, and this is
• 1:01:33
  actually not to this, this might just confuse you more just to
• 1:01:36
  fill the time while you think things.
• 1:01:39
  Ski and snowball cross are my favorite events to watch at the
• 1:01:42
  Olympics. I think they're sick.
• 1:01:45
  They are. They are so.
• 1:01:45
  Early. Yeah, they are.
• 1:01:47
  And like, there's, there's, I can't remember when it was.
• 1:01:49
  It was like a few Olympics ago. The women's snowball the.
• 1:01:52
  Shoe in. And then she did a trick on the
• 1:01:54
  last Trump until Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:01:56
  I remember watching that. Yeah.
• 1:01:57
  That was that was sick, not for her, but for everyone.
• 1:02:01
  So that's now played some serious mind games with me.
• 1:02:05
  It has because you want me to say one of those or you don't
• 1:02:10
  want me to say one of those. And then if you want me to say
• 1:02:13
  one of those, which one am I choosing now?
• 1:02:16
  I didn't know ski cross was a thing so I'm going to go for
• 1:02:20
  snowboard cross. OK, no 0 points.
• 1:02:24
  So I actually got two points out of that, which means I think
• 1:02:27
  overall it's just win by one point.
• 1:02:29
  Your own fault for choosing winter.
• 1:02:30
  Sports. It's not.
• 1:02:31
  It's it's your fault for not being a better understanding and
• 1:02:34
  forgetting half of what the Winter Olympics is about.
• 1:02:37
  What happens when you freeze water?
• 1:02:40
  Oh, Charles, ice hockey. It wasn't even one of them, but
• 1:02:43
  I thought you were skating ice. Well, you didn't say it.
• 1:02:46
  Figure skating. I put figure skating.
• 1:02:48
  Bobsleigh. Oh yeah, I forgot about all of
• 1:02:51
  these luge. Ski jumping.
• 1:02:54
  That's. Sick.
• 1:02:55
  Yeah. And then you got slalom,
• 1:02:58
  downhill and Nordic. Skiing.
• 1:03:00
  I said the same thing about four times different ways.
• 1:03:03
  Yeah, yeah, Perfect. I I was like the only things
• 1:03:05
  that happened at the Windsor Olympics of skiing and snow.
• 1:03:07
  When I got to yeah, I forgot about skating.
• 1:03:09
  I was really stuck about speed skating, figure skating and ice
• 1:03:12
  hockey. And for some reason I was like,
• 1:03:15
  he's not going to say he's going to forget ice hockey.
• 1:03:17
  I didn't understand that you were going to forget every
• 1:03:18
  everything. Well, I mean, I think I by one
