Latest / Clydesdale Media Podcast / Lunch with the Clydesdale - What Do We Think of Quarter Finals?
Transcript
- 0:04quarterfinals have been announced the
- 0:06workouts that is,
- 0:08and I can talk really good.
- 0:10Yeah.
- 0:12And the whole world is talking about that.
- 0:14So let's talk about it next.
- 0:27I love the chase and the hunt and
- 0:28I set the pace when I'm running.
- 0:30I always take what I want and I
- 0:31always give it one hundred.
- 0:33Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
- 0:34Play the game like it's nothing.
- 0:36I'm always thankful for something.
- 0:37Don't take for granted, stay humble.
- 0:39Now wake up!
- 0:40It's time to look at the enemy.
- 0:42Look in the mirror if he is no
- 0:44friend to me.
- 0:45It's not working out,
- 0:47maybe it's the chemistry.
- 0:48It's time to break up so I can
- 0:50make a better me.
- 0:51It's lunch time.
- 0:57What is going on, everybody?
- 0:59We are back and better than ever.
- 1:04I got to talk about something before we
- 1:05get into this CrossFit stuff.
- 1:07Nope.
- 1:08Got to.
- 1:09So I'm sitting there in a meeting.
- 1:11I run this meeting every other week.
- 1:13And so I'm sitting there and my phone,
- 1:19this notifier pops up.
- 1:23And all it's doing is confusing me.
- 1:27And here we go.
- 1:32I'm just going to put it up there.
- 1:34So I don't know if you saw this
- 1:35today.
- 1:37So this pops up on my notifier.
- 1:39I did see that today.
- 1:41Okay.
- 1:42So it says quadruple amputee cornhole
- 1:46player fatally shoots man.
- 1:48Authorities say not only did he shoot a
- 1:50man,
- 1:51he shot a man while he was driving.
- 1:56So the first thing in my head is,
- 1:58how does a quadruple amputee play
- 2:00cornhole?
- 2:03So when I read the headline,
- 2:05every word of that sentence made less
- 2:08sense as it went on.
- 2:11So not only can he play cornhole,
- 2:14but he can drive a car.
- 2:16And he can fire a handgun and a
- 2:19rifle.
- 2:19And the reason why I know that is
- 2:21I saw a video of him loading a
- 2:25his handgun and shooting it and shooting a
- 2:27rifle.
- 2:29But not only can he load and shoot
- 2:31a handgun and fire it,
- 2:34he can do it while driving with no
- 2:38arms and no legs.
- 2:40my thing about the wild driving part is
- 2:42he probably didn't have to load it and
- 2:44like rack it while he was driving i'm
- 2:46sure he was driving like most people who
- 2:49who own handguns do like it's loaded and
- 2:51racked because otherwise it's just a
- 2:52paperweight at that point what i want to
- 2:54know is is that how he got it
- 2:55out and like shot the dude who was
- 2:59still in his car and the dude was
- 3:03just like letting it happen because
- 3:07You can get out of a car pretty
- 3:08easy.
- 3:08I don't know if anybody has ever tried
- 3:09it or not,
- 3:10but I just got to open the handle
- 3:11when you can just fall out.
- 3:13It's fine.
- 3:13It's not, not hard to do.
- 3:15I'd rather I take my chances with the
- 3:17road before I took my chances with the
- 3:18handgun being pointed at me by the guy
- 3:20with no arms and no legs.
- 3:22Well, no hands and no feet.
- 3:23He has partial arms and partial legs.
- 3:28I.
- 3:30I just was like,
- 3:32I'm trying to focus on the meeting I'm
- 3:34running at the time.
- 3:36Pops up and I'm like, what is happening?
- 3:43And I looked at my calendars at April
- 3:44fools.
- 3:44No, it's not.
- 3:47And then if you read the story,
- 3:51he then fled from the scene.
- 3:53Yeah.
- 3:55Well, even better.
- 3:56He tried to get the two dudes that
- 3:57were riding with him.
- 3:59to help him get the body out of
- 4:01his car.
- 4:03They refused, got out of his car.
- 4:06He managed to get the body out onto
- 4:09somebody's lawn,
- 4:10got back in his car and then fled
- 4:12the scene.
- 4:15As a quadruple amputee.
- 4:17With, I mean, he's got partial arts.
- 4:19He's got half legs and half arms,
- 4:23basically.
- 4:26So there is no picture.
- 4:29No,
- 4:29but I was really clear things up for
- 4:31me a little bit, I think.
- 4:34So he's got stumps here and here and
- 4:38the same thing going on in his legs.
- 4:40And I think that something in here,
- 4:44like something open this area somewhere
- 4:47still kind of works.
- 4:48So he can, he can use that.
- 4:50Like he's,
- 4:51he's basically pressing the handgun, uh,
- 4:53in between his stumps to hold it in
- 4:54place.
- 4:55And he's got something that he can
- 4:56articulate to get in the trigger,
- 4:59like inside the guard,
- 5:00to be able to pull the trigger.
- 5:02I saw that on the video of him
- 5:03actually shooting.
- 5:05If I could find it,
- 5:06I'll send it to you so you can
- 5:07actually see.
- 5:09It's wild.
- 5:12It's absolutely wild.
- 5:12Yes, Jenny, it's pure madness.
- 5:16So how the hell do you focus when
- 5:19your phone is saying a quadruple amputee
- 5:22not only is a champion cornhole player,
- 5:25but then, in addition,
- 5:27shot a guy while driving?
- 5:29The cornhole player would have been
- 5:30enough.
- 5:31And fled the scene by running away.
- 5:34Yes, Helson.
- 5:35He ran away.
- 5:37Technically, yes.
- 5:39He ran away.
- 5:42The visual in my mind is...
- 5:47Ridiculous.
- 5:47A hundred percent.
- 5:49This little like torso kind of bobbing and
- 5:54weaving down the road.
- 5:56Yeah.
- 5:57I mean, that's accurate.
- 5:59That's as accurate as it gets.
- 6:01All right.
- 6:02I just said I had to get that
- 6:03off my chest.
- 6:07So I think I just got something.
- 6:14Okay, here we go.
- 6:15Yeah.
- 6:23No, it wouldn't be there.
- 6:26Hopefully he sent it to her.
- 6:26Nope.
- 6:28Sent it to my personal account.
- 6:32I can't access that on my laptop.
- 6:38So, yeah.
- 6:39I was wondering what we're chatting about.
- 6:41We're talking about the guy with no arms
- 6:43and no legs who's a champion coroner who
- 6:45just murdered somebody with a handgun that
- 6:47was in his car and then drove away.
- 6:51You know,
- 6:51like we normally do at lunchtime.
- 6:53Yeah.
- 6:54Yeah.
- 6:56Because doesn't everybody?
- 7:00Yeah.
- 7:02So, yeah.
- 7:03And it made ESPN.
- 7:04Yeah.
- 7:07Well,
- 7:07cause the guy's a champion cornhole
- 7:08player.
- 7:09Was it on the Ocho?
- 7:12I'm sure it was.
- 7:14I'm sure it was.
- 7:17We could probably start that whole
- 7:19conversation with the fact that there is
- 7:20in fact professional cornhole.
- 7:22Let's go ahead and talk about that for
- 7:23a little bit.
- 7:24We can, we just start there.
- 7:26And of course,
- 7:27since there's professional cornhole,
- 7:29one of the champion players doesn't have
- 7:32arms and doesn't have legs, you know?
- 7:35Yeah.
- 7:37It is things like professional cornhole
- 7:40that make me tell people that CrossFit can
- 7:42never be a sport are full of it.
- 7:46You've never watched the Ocho if you think
- 7:50that CrossFit can't be a sport.
- 7:53Professional tag players.
- 7:56Have you seen that?
- 7:58I saw a professional stair climbing.
- 8:00I didn't see that one,
- 8:02but I believe it.
- 8:05It's ridiculous.
- 8:06What is on the Ocho?
- 8:08We went from, uh,
- 8:10we were at me and my wife and
- 8:12kids were at dinner,
- 8:13actually eating lunch one day at a Mexican
- 8:15restaurant and they had it on.
- 8:17And this is the type of time of
- 8:18year that it was the WNBA draft was
- 8:21on one TV.
- 8:23The WNBA draft was on one TV.
- 8:26And this was on the other one.
- 8:28It went from,
- 8:29we watched the last couple of rounds of
- 8:31a professional cornhole tournament,
- 8:33which was sponsored by Johnsonville brats
- 8:35appropriately enough.
- 8:38And then they went to tag,
- 8:40which looked like a giant jungle gym,
- 8:44but like there was four walls around it.
- 8:46And it's a bunch of guys that were
- 8:47doing like parkour and free running in
- 8:49between all of this stuff and playing tag
- 8:54is the craziest thing I've ever seen.
- 8:58Kenneth Lab, is the Ocho real?
- 9:00Yes.
- 9:02After Dodgeball came out,
- 9:04the movie Dodgeball,
- 9:05and they said that it was being broadcast
- 9:07on the Ocho, ESPN eight,
- 9:10ESPN actually created an ESPN eight,
- 9:14the Ocho,
- 9:15where they show wild sports like this all
- 9:19day long.
- 9:20The stuff that used to be on wild,
- 9:21wild world of sports back in the gap.
- 9:25Well, yeah,
- 9:27but why rule the sports like the little
- 9:29segment to show you the weird sports of
- 9:31the world?
- 9:32To show you the weird stuff.
- 9:33Yeah, that's what I mean.
- 9:34Yeah.
- 9:34A hundred percent.
- 9:37Table tennis.
- 9:42There are electrical circuit board
- 9:44competitions on the Ocho.
- 9:45I only know because a CrossFit judge was
- 9:48heading to do that after a CrossFit comp
- 9:50one time.
- 9:52Wow.
- 9:53That checks out.
- 9:55Yeah.
- 9:56Literally,
- 9:57I was watching a stair climbing contest
- 10:00where they put like a Teflon coating on
- 10:03the stairs.
- 10:03Oh.
- 10:05Water was rushing down it.
- 10:08And then someone was shooting tennis balls
- 10:11at them as they're trying to climb.
- 10:12Yes.
- 10:16I am in.
- 10:17I am in.
- 10:18Sign me up for that.
- 10:20Please sign me up for that.
- 10:21Yeah.
- 10:21Yeah.
- 10:25Um, uh,
- 10:27we've been watching the sticky dart
- 10:28competitions on the Ocho whenever they're
- 10:30caught.
- 10:30Those are whatever those are called.
- 10:32Yeah.
- 10:35Uh, like, and subscribe.
- 10:36Yeah.
- 10:36I forgot to say that off the top.
- 10:38If you like quadruple amputee cornhole
- 10:41players, like murdering,
- 10:44murdering people with handguns in their
- 10:46core, uh,
- 10:47I was leaving that out because people
- 10:48probably don't like that.
- 10:49It's the full story.
- 10:50It's you got to have the full story.
- 10:52You can't just go with quite like you
- 10:53have to get the whole because nobody would
- 10:55have known who he was.
- 10:56Otherwise, let's be honest here.
- 10:58He's a professional cornhole player.
- 10:59Name one.
- 11:00I'll wait.
- 11:05Damn.
- 11:05Corey is old.
- 11:06Hey, bro.
- 11:07I'm not that much younger than you are
- 11:09seven.
- 11:09Believe me.
- 11:12All right.
- 11:13So quarterfinals were announced yesterday.
- 11:17Workouts.
- 11:19Yes, they were.
- 11:20How many workouts have you done already?
- 11:23I tested one this morning.
- 11:27And I started to test the shuttle run
- 11:32one yesterday afternoon,
- 11:34and I did a little test of the
- 11:35bar muscle-up squat clean one this
- 11:37morning.
- 11:41So a lot of people have had a
- 11:44lot to say.
- 11:46I am going to ask you what your
- 11:49overall thoughts are.
- 11:51You texted me yesterday.
- 11:52I know what those thoughts are,
- 11:53but I will give you the floor first,
- 11:55and then I will say my piece after.
- 12:02Yo, dog, we heard you'd like to open,
- 12:05so we gave you another open after your
- 12:07open is basically what my thoughts are.
- 12:10These four tests would have made fantastic
- 12:14open tests.
- 12:15There's no skill aside from the bar muscle
- 12:18up.
- 12:19I don't give a shit what anybody says.
- 12:20A handstand pushup is not a skill.
- 12:23That is a capacity test at that point.
- 12:25Anybody can do a handstand pushup if you
- 12:26have the proper strength for it.
- 12:28There's no skill involved.
- 12:31I don't consider double unders to be much
- 12:33of a skill.
- 12:34It's definitely not a high skill type
- 12:35deal.
- 12:37This is four more.
- 12:41Aerobic, I mean,
- 12:42the heaviest weight is a three,
- 12:43fifteen deadlift.
- 12:45Like, okay.
- 12:47And the only thing that precludes it is
- 12:49being able to do three hundred double
- 12:51unders,
- 12:52which is not a whole heck of a
- 12:55lot of dumb blunders.
- 12:55If I'm being completely honest here,
- 12:57I mean, it might be for some people,
- 12:58but I do not think these are good
- 13:02tests to get people to semifinals with the
- 13:04fact that nobody has to submit a video.
- 13:08It's that it's.
- 13:10bananas crazy it is a complete another
- 13:15story yeah yeah yeah yeah i get it
- 13:18as a test themselves i'll put it like
- 13:19this i like the workouts i'm not mad
- 13:21at the workouts necessarily but i do i
- 13:24think that they're good tests for
- 13:25quarterfinals no not at all not at all
- 13:29there's no skills whatsoever
- 13:32So let's go through them real quick.
- 13:34It's ten fifty foot shuttle runs,
- 13:36twenty overhead squats,
- 13:38thirty lateral burpees over the bar.
- 13:40Then you rest a minute and you go
- 13:42back the opposite direction.
- 13:44Yep.
- 13:44Eighty pounds, one fifteen.
- 13:47Then we have eighty dumbbell hang squat
- 13:49cleans, forty bar muscle ups.
- 13:51Choose your own adventure.
- 13:53Just get her done.
- 13:54Yep.
- 13:56Then we have three rounds of fifty
- 13:58double-unders, deadlifts at one weight.
- 14:00We go to then,
- 14:01or three rounds of that,
- 14:02two rounds of fifty and ten,
- 14:05different weight,
- 14:06one round of fifty and ten,
- 14:07another weight.
- 14:09Weights climb, one fifty-five,
- 14:11one eighty-five,
- 14:12two twenty-five for the ladies,
- 14:13two twenty-five, two seventy-five,
- 14:15three fifteen for the men.
- 14:17And then we finish up with a thousand
- 14:19meter row, thirty clean and jerks,
- 14:22a thousand meter row,
- 14:23thirty strict handstand push-ups.
- 14:26Yeah, I need five, one, thirty five.
- 14:31Here's my thought.
- 14:31And I, and I will admit,
- 14:33I read through them because I was in
- 14:35a meeting during the announcement.
- 14:37So I didn't get to see it like
- 14:39presented.
- 14:40I just kind of read through it and
- 14:43let me pull up Daniel's thing.
- 14:44Cause he did pay.
- 14:46Thank you so much, Daniel.
- 14:47Workouts are fun.
- 14:48This is what you get though.
- 14:49When you invite seventy five to eighty
- 14:51nine percent people surprised the lack of
- 14:54skill stuff being that boss was in charge.
- 14:58Same.
- 14:59So
- 15:02When I first looked at it,
- 15:03I was like,
- 15:03it looks like they look like open
- 15:05workouts.
- 15:07Right?
- 15:09That was my first thought.
- 15:12But... Until five years ago,
- 15:17we never had quarterfinals.
- 15:20Right?
- 15:21Right.
- 15:21So there hasn't even been a big history
- 15:23as to what quarterfinals are,
- 15:25what they should be, whatever.
- 15:29And my big thought was...
- 15:31In any sport you do,
- 15:36you have to take on whatever is put
- 15:38in front of you to move on in
- 15:40the season.
- 15:43If you're in football,
- 15:44you may have to face a run-heavy team
- 15:47in the first round of the playoffs.
- 15:49You may have to face a run-and-shoot
- 15:50offense in the second round.
- 15:53And those are very different.
- 15:54And depending on however those fall,
- 15:57Your team may succeed or not throughout
- 15:59that gauntlet.
- 16:03When you're playing baseball,
- 16:05it could be cold.
- 16:06It could be hot.
- 16:07It could be rainy.
- 16:09Whatever.
- 16:10And you have to face those challenges as
- 16:12you go.
- 16:14I feel like with CrossFit, we are so,
- 16:19and this is back to the essay that
- 16:20was sent to me last week.
- 16:22We are so hypercritical of everything that
- 16:24is put out.
- 16:26Instead of saying,
- 16:27this is the challenge in front of me,
- 16:29and this is what I have to do
- 16:30to move on.
- 16:32And then it was,
- 16:34it came back to me that in the
- 16:36two thousand nineteen games,
- 16:38when everybody complained that no heavy
- 16:40barbell came up before the majority of the
- 16:43people were cut.
- 16:46And Dave's response was,
- 16:48we're not here to find the strongest
- 16:49people who are fit.
- 16:51We're here to find the fittest people who
- 16:52are strong.
- 16:53Sure.
- 16:58The title is not the strongest on earth.
- 17:01The title is the fittest on earth.
- 17:06And with that,
- 17:08these workouts are finding fit people.
- 17:13Now,
- 17:14is it finding the most skilled person?
- 17:17Is it finding the most strong person?
- 17:19No.
- 17:20But these workouts are finding fit people.
- 17:26Yes and no.
- 17:27Sure they are.
- 17:28Let me back that up.
- 17:29I'll one hundred percent agree with you.
- 17:30You will find some cardiovascularly fit
- 17:33people.
- 17:34The problem with that is… Why do you
- 17:36say cardio?
- 17:37It is fitness.
- 17:38Okay.
- 17:38Okay.
- 17:40The problem with that,
- 17:41the reason why I'm saying that,
- 17:42and the problem with that I have with
- 17:44that is that these are also pushing people
- 17:46to semifinals.
- 17:47So now you're running into a scenario
- 17:51where you're going to get to,
- 17:51you're going to advance people.
- 17:53You could possibly advance people to
- 17:56semifinals who do not have the requisite
- 17:58skills.
- 18:00They might be fantastically fit in other
- 18:03ways,
- 18:04but they can't walk in feet on their
- 18:05hands.
- 18:07you're going to have to do at semifinals
- 18:09we assume unless this is just going to
- 18:10be the the the no skill no barbell
- 18:14no heavy barbell games semifinals and or
- 18:19games so that's the the entire thing of
- 18:20the entire but that's never been the case
- 18:22you're going to get people that can't do
- 18:29unbroken or you know whatever i'm just
- 18:30picking out numbers uh
- 18:34Handstand pushups,
- 18:35not strict handstand pushups.
- 18:36Strict handstand pushups is pressing,
- 18:39period.
- 18:39That's all there is to it.
- 18:40There is some skill involved with being
- 18:42able to bring your knees down,
- 18:43pop your legs up,
- 18:46land in a fully extended position,
- 18:48in the correct position with just your
- 18:49heels on the wall to do a kipping
- 18:52handstand pushup.
- 18:52It takes a lot more skill than it
- 18:53does just to get upside down and push
- 18:55your head up from the ground.
- 18:59It's not...
- 19:03I don't disagree with you.
- 19:04You're going to get some very,
- 19:04very fit people.
- 19:05But there's a very real possibility where
- 19:07you're going to get some very,
- 19:07very fit people who can do these basic
- 19:11type things but cannot do the things that
- 19:13are going to be required of them when
- 19:14they get to semifinals.
- 19:16And you're going to leave out people who
- 19:17can do those things.
- 19:20And because they have a broader range,
- 19:22they're not as fit as the people who
- 19:25can do those other things.
- 19:29Okay.
- 19:31Who are we leaving out?
- 19:36Because it happened at regionals.
- 19:42Back in the day,
- 19:43everybody wants to romanticize this.
- 19:46The greatest time in CrossFit was you did
- 19:49the Open and then you did regionals.
- 19:51And there were a ton of people at
- 19:52regionals that could not do the skills
- 19:55that were given to them at regionals.
- 19:57And they came in,
- 19:59they came in seeded ninth and ended up
- 20:02finishing fortieth.
- 20:06Because they got there,
- 20:07they couldn't climb a rope.
- 20:09Legless rope climbs took out some of the
- 20:12biggest people in the world.
- 20:14Ended up being champions of the sport.
- 20:18They didn't have that skill set going into
- 20:19regionals.
- 20:20And so it was embarrassing.
- 20:23And then they had the choice to get
- 20:25way better at those skills and become a
- 20:28champion like some did.
- 20:30Or just...
- 20:33live in the in the muck of mediocrity
- 20:37i don't disagree with you on that
- 20:38necessarily i just i i especially with the
- 20:43recent blatant cheating that went on
- 20:47during the open with all the stuff that
- 20:49the girl he was talking about right now
- 20:52and and maybe it's just because i'm in
- 20:53that mindset that's where my head
- 20:55immediately goes that this is four more
- 20:57open tests and
- 21:00And I know we're not supposed to be
- 21:02talking about the fact that as far as
- 21:05the judging is concerned and all that
- 21:07stuff,
- 21:07but it becomes part of it because you
- 21:09can't have one thing without the other.
- 21:12If the tests are what the tests are,
- 21:13fantastic.
- 21:13These are what the tests are.
- 21:14I have to do them just like everybody
- 21:16else.
- 21:17I know which ones I'm going to be
- 21:18really good at.
- 21:19I know which ones I'm going to be
- 21:21doing damage control on as far as that's
- 21:23concerned.
- 21:24But like I told you yesterday,
- 21:26At some point,
- 21:27it becomes not just me against myself
- 21:31getting these workouts done,
- 21:32knowing that I had the skills to be
- 21:33doing way crazier stuff.
- 21:35It becomes me having to do these things
- 21:37and having to also fight against the
- 21:39people,
- 21:39be better than the people who are going
- 21:41to blatantly abuse the system.
- 21:44See,
- 21:44but now we're talking about apples and
- 21:46oranges.
- 21:48Because I'm looking at the workouts.
- 21:50I understand.
- 21:51The workouts isn't going to change the
- 21:53people who are going to abuse the system.
- 21:55You know why it's going to change?
- 21:57Because now I don't have to look up
- 22:00and go, oh,
- 22:00you can't walk on your hands.
- 22:04But if you abuse the system and you
- 22:06cheat,
- 22:07who knows if it's real that you can
- 22:09walk on your hands?
- 22:10Just because it's written doesn't mean
- 22:11they actually did it.
- 22:12I don't disagree.
- 22:16I guess that's why I'm getting back to
- 22:17the fact that we don't have to submit
- 22:19video to advance is wild.
- 22:23I get that.
- 22:24I am totally on board with you,
- 22:26one hundred percent.
- 22:27But for this argument alone,
- 22:29for this argument alone,
- 22:31I'm just looking at the workouts.
- 22:32And if everybody did it by the book,
- 22:36it's finding fit people.
- 22:40Right.
- 22:41And if they then can't do it at
- 22:42semifinals, I'm OK with that.
- 22:45I'm not because the people that could have
- 22:47been are now not at semifinals.
- 22:50But you're making up whatever criteria you
- 22:52want the semifinals to be or the games
- 22:55to be.
- 22:56We're not the programmers.
- 22:58I know we're not,
- 22:59but I'm going to lead out for you.
- 23:01You have to go through the gauntlet.
- 23:04Where we had to do those skills and
- 23:06that I've been working on to be able
- 23:07to get to.
- 23:09That's the whole problem.
- 23:11But it's unknown and unknowable.
- 23:12We don't know what's going to be
- 23:13programmed.
- 23:14We don't know what's going to be put
- 23:16in front of you.
- 23:17All you can do is do the test
- 23:20that's given.
- 23:21You're not wrong.
- 23:22You're not wrong.
- 23:25not wrong joseph ramirez thank you for the
- 23:27five dollars i'll admit it i can do
- 23:29well in these workouts but i'd probably
- 23:31struggle in the next round but we don't
- 23:33know that either joseph because we don't
- 23:35know what's coming in the next round you
- 23:37can look at past and say it's going
- 23:40to test this this and this but it's
- 23:43all a guess it's an educated guess again
- 23:50go back to the glory days of crossfit
- 23:52everybody wants to talk about the regional
- 23:54setup
- 23:55Do you remember the year that Dave said,
- 23:57okay,
- 23:57I'm going to really show them we're not
- 23:59going to have a barbell the entire
- 24:00regional?
- 24:03That was before my time,
- 24:04but I do remember it happening.
- 24:05I do remember it happening,
- 24:06I guess you'd say.
- 24:07I do know of it happening.
- 24:11Carolyn Prevost in the chat.
- 24:13People every year get tests they are
- 24:14unprepared for at semis.
- 24:15Max lift, legless rope climbs,
- 24:17deficit handstand pushups.
- 24:18That's okay.
- 24:19And the ones who are more well-rounded can
- 24:21move on.
- 24:23And that's kind of what I'm... Listen,
- 24:26I admitted when I first looked at these
- 24:27workouts, I was like,
- 24:30this doesn't look that glamorous for
- 24:33quarterfinals.
- 24:34But the more I listened to people...
- 24:37complain about it, not having this,
- 24:39not being the heavy, not having skills.
- 24:42I'm like, in all other sports,
- 24:44you just have to do what's thrown at
- 24:46you, regardless of the conditions.
- 24:52So that's kind of where I came to
- 24:55this realization is,
- 24:59when you look at these workouts,
- 25:00they're going to find fit people.
- 25:03And then when we get to semifinals,
- 25:05those fit better people better be able to
- 25:07do something.
- 25:08And the fact that we have more in-person
- 25:10testing where it's legit and we know that
- 25:15the people can then actually do the
- 25:17events,
- 25:18you're either going to be able to do
- 25:19it or you're going to get embarrassed.
- 25:24At the cost of the people who could
- 25:26do them that you cheated to get past.
- 25:28But those people weren't fit enough.
- 25:31Are they?
- 25:32We won't know.
- 25:33Stop bringing in the video stuff.
- 25:35I don't even mean the video stuff.
- 25:37I just mean, are they?
- 25:40Because did those people actually belong
- 25:43there in the first place?
- 25:44If they did these four workouts,
- 25:46they proved they were fitter than the
- 25:47other people who did them.
- 25:49If you can believe that the scores were
- 25:53legit.
- 25:55That's where my problem comes in.
- 25:57And that's a different argument.
- 26:00It all has to go together in my
- 26:02head.
- 26:02It all has to go together because you're
- 26:03an athlete and I get why it's all
- 26:05going together.
- 26:05Yeah.
- 26:06But just looking at the workouts,
- 26:09the workouts are fine.
- 26:11Oh, I didn't, I didn't,
- 26:13I just think it,
- 26:14it looks like open part two.
- 26:17And this is how I put this together.
- 26:19So I wrote this down earlier today.
- 26:21So we used to have a five-week open.
- 26:23People considered it to be a more complete
- 26:25test because it was five weeks.
- 26:26Five weeks, at least five workouts,
- 26:28sometimes six when you get a part A
- 26:30and a part B, right?
- 26:32And people were like,
- 26:34people were fine with it and thought it
- 26:35was great.
- 26:35Then that went away and they went to
- 26:37a three-week open, right?
- 26:39People started complaining.
- 26:40It's less of a test, whatever.
- 26:42So they added quarterfinals.
- 26:44Initially,
- 26:44quarterfinals were not this close, right?
- 26:48to the open, right?
- 26:49You remember that it was like you had
- 26:51three weeks or whatever it was and then
- 26:52quarterfinals would happen.
- 26:53And then people were yin and yang about
- 26:56that,
- 26:56which people was going to bitch about
- 26:57whatever.
- 26:57I get that.
- 26:58So let's look at twenty twenty six.
- 27:00What did we do?
- 27:00We had a three week open.
- 27:02We had one week off and then on
- 27:04the fifth week back to your five weeks
- 27:07right there, you have quarterfinals.
- 27:10So you got a one week break and
- 27:12now you have these four tests to do.
- 27:13So now you've got seven tests.
- 27:16seven workouts within a five week period,
- 27:18which is very,
- 27:19very close to what you used to have
- 27:22at a five week open.
- 27:25There are more tests today than there ever
- 27:28have been in the past.
- 27:30A hundred percent.
- 27:31Right.
- 27:31To get you,
- 27:33because you have to do three week open
- 27:35four events at a,
- 27:36at a quarterfinal six events at a
- 27:39semifinal or whatever they program.
- 27:42And then the games.
- 27:46Sten put it well.
- 27:47It's not about the workouts.
- 27:49The workouts are fine.
- 27:50It's about the zero verification of the
- 27:52work being done.
- 27:53And that we agree on completely.
- 27:57But I'm with Carolyn.
- 27:58High skill and heavy is fringe stuff.
- 28:01I would rather get someone there who's
- 28:02fitter overall and not specialist versus
- 28:05wanting specialist high skill or strength.
- 28:08Yeah.
- 28:09I don't want to max lift.
- 28:11I'm not asking for that.
- 28:12I'm not asking for...
- 28:15If it's going to be a part two
- 28:16that is supposed to be a little bit
- 28:18more of what we had before and a
- 28:20little bit harder than it should actually
- 28:21be, in my mind,
- 28:23this is my clear personal opinion,
- 28:25which I'm probably completely wrong about,
- 28:27but whatever.
- 28:29There should be more stuff in there that
- 28:31is not.
- 28:34You could take these tests and I don't
- 28:35think anybody's going to disagree with me.
- 28:37I know you won't because you look at
- 28:38it the same way.
- 28:39You could take all four of these tests
- 28:41and put them in the last three weeks
- 28:43and it would have made a great open.
- 28:45Because they are all open style tests,
- 28:51right?
- 28:51A little heavier barbell with the
- 28:53three-fifteen ending deadlift,
- 28:57which is still not super heavy, right?
- 28:59Three-fifteen, yeah,
- 29:00for guys is moderately heavy on where
- 29:03you're at.
- 29:03But so is the one skill.
- 29:06People either can do a whole lot of
- 29:07bar muscle-ups or they can't.
- 29:09The volume is higher than what we'd see
- 29:11in an open, right?
- 29:13Eighty and forty,
- 29:14kind of a bigger deal as far as
- 29:17that's concerned.
- 29:18But you go look at,
- 29:20was it twenty point one or twenty point
- 29:22three,
- 29:23whichever one it was with the rowing,
- 29:26the wall balls and entering muscle ups
- 29:29like all together.
- 29:31That was a pretty big test.
- 29:32Choose your own adventure style type deal.
- 29:38I kind of see what they're trying to
- 29:39do as far as this thing is concerned.
- 29:41And I don't disagree that you're going to
- 29:42get very, very fit people there.
- 29:44I think like a lot of people,
- 29:45I was expecting more out of it,
- 29:48especially with BOS programming instead of
- 29:53kind of almost a rehash of what we
- 29:55just did the previous three weeks.
- 29:57Okay.
- 30:00The other thing that came into my head
- 30:02is no CrossFitter will tell you that Murph
- 30:07or Fran or Grace or Isabel is a
- 30:11bad test.
- 30:14And none of them have high skill
- 30:15movements.
- 30:17None of them are heavy.
- 30:19Right.
- 30:21It's really weird how like the mindset of
- 30:24the CrossFitter changes when we label it
- 30:27open quarterfinals semifinals.
- 30:30A hundred percent.
- 30:31Right.
- 30:33I tend to be in,
- 30:35to doing like interval work in a
- 30:36classroom, right?
- 30:38In a class set, not a classroom,
- 30:39but in a class setting,
- 30:40whenever you're coaching a class and like
- 30:43everybody's during your rest period and
- 30:45everybody's kind of,
- 30:48kind of complaining about it or whatever.
- 30:49And you go,
- 30:49ten seconds and everybody stiffens up.
- 30:53You're five and all of a sudden everybody
- 30:55kind of leans in and gets ready to
- 30:56do what they're fixing to do, right?
- 30:59It sucks until you have to do it.
- 31:00And then everybody kind of locks in.
- 31:02And I feel like this is the same
- 31:04thing.
- 31:04Like everybody's going to bitch and
- 31:05complain, myself included.
- 31:07We had this discussion,
- 31:08was that yesterday or day before,
- 31:09whenever that was.
- 31:11We are going to complain about whatever we
- 31:15can complain about.
- 31:18And I am,
- 31:18and I know I'm on that list.
- 31:20I get it.
- 31:21Uh, I just think.
- 31:23I'm just, I just want to say like,
- 31:26I've never done Cindy and said, wow,
- 31:28that was too easy.
- 31:31Right.
- 31:32And if like,
- 31:34if you can do a fast Cindy.
- 31:38You're fit, right?
- 31:40And there's no high skill.
- 31:41There's no heavy barbell.
- 31:43There's no barbell.
- 31:43There's no weight.
- 31:45Just you, a pull-up bar, and the floor.
- 31:48Sure.
- 31:52All right.
- 31:56This is a lunch show.
- 31:57We don't have a ton of time.
- 32:00I'm sure we'll talk about this all the
- 32:01way up until Thursday.
- 32:02Sure, sure.
- 32:05but those were my thoughts last night.
- 32:06I was listening to all the different shows
- 32:09and the experts talking about things.
- 32:11And I just was like trying to think
- 32:13it's, it's really in all sport.
- 32:16You are given a test that week to
- 32:19compete and to win.
- 32:21Right.
- 32:22And that's what this is.
- 32:24And if this year it's not high skill
- 32:26and it's not heavy to get you the
- 32:27whole way to the championship,
- 32:29you still win the championship.
- 32:32Right.
- 32:33But anyway,
- 32:35We also had yesterday the cheater that
- 32:37confessed the confessions of a cheater.
- 32:40Did she though?
- 32:42So at first,
- 32:43like until you get to the end,
- 32:45I wondered, is she really confessing?
- 32:47Right.
- 32:48And then when Hiller went down through the
- 32:50list of things he accused her of,
- 32:52and she said yes or no to those,
- 32:55then I was like, okay,
- 32:56she has admitted that she did use a
- 32:58training bar.
- 32:59She's admitted that.
- 33:02Oh, I didn't.
- 33:02So I didn't,
- 33:03I didn't get all the way to the
- 33:04very end.
- 33:04I missed that.
- 33:05So he went down the list of all
- 33:08the accusations and he said,
- 33:11tell me if this is true or false.
- 33:13And she went down the whole list.
- 33:16So she did to the training bar because
- 33:18you know,
- 33:18I had a discussion yesterday afternoon
- 33:19too, while we were watching it,
- 33:21that like she knew completely at the end.
- 33:25You know what?
- 33:26Good for her.
- 33:28Now I do want to say, um,
- 33:33What the heck?
- 33:34All right.
- 33:34I still don't think she was being totally
- 33:36honest.
- 33:36I do agree with that.
- 33:37She still did not fess up to the
- 33:39wall ball thing.
- 33:40Still said she was warming up with a
- 33:41ten pound wall ball.
- 33:44I have never warmed up lighter.
- 33:45No.
- 33:47If I'm warming up with,
- 33:48I usually go heavier so that when I'm
- 33:50doing the workout, it feels lighter.
- 33:51Feels lighter.
- 33:52A hundred percent.
- 33:54And we talked about this with Carolyn
- 33:56after the show on Sunday night.
- 33:57She's like, she doesn't go heavier,
- 33:59but she always uses the weight she's going
- 34:01to use for the workout.
- 34:03At the very least,
- 34:03I don't want it to be a surprise
- 34:05when I go to grab the one that
- 34:07is supposed to be the weight,
- 34:08and I didn't do anything but lighter
- 34:10before then.
- 34:12Yeah, and then Mark Phillips.
- 34:15No way.
- 34:16You're moving so fast, man.
- 34:18You see Hiller?
- 34:20I did.
- 34:21She got a four-year ban?
- 34:24Get out.
- 34:29I'm looking right now on this one.
- 34:31Hold on.
- 34:32Um, half truce.
- 34:34If you are following the bar down and
- 34:36not dropping it, you know, it's lighter,
- 34:38a lighter barbell.
- 34:39A hundred percent.
- 34:44Yeah.
- 34:44We talked about all this on right.
- 34:47After the show was over Sunday,
- 34:48we talked for a little bit that those
- 34:50are some of the things we talked about.
- 34:52You know, it is dude.
- 34:53If you get, if you grab,
- 34:54if I grab a.
- 34:56Women's barbell in a warm-up area
- 34:58somewhere on accident,
- 35:00you immediately know it's not the right
- 35:01thing,
- 35:01even though it's just ten pounds
- 35:02different, because ten pounds is a lot.
- 35:05Same thing.
- 35:06If it's bouncing around on the ground like
- 35:07it's not supposed to be,
- 35:09something's wrong, and you know it.
- 35:11If you've done this for any amount of
- 35:13time, oh, that feels weird.
- 35:16With my new athletes in the gym,
- 35:18especially like the women that come in and
- 35:19they start with a training bar and then
- 35:21they go to a regular bar,
- 35:23they'll tell you right off the bat, oh,
- 35:25this feels different.
- 35:27Well, yeah, it's a bigger bar.
- 35:29It's a heavier bar.
- 35:29It's supposed to feel different.
- 35:32It's why they have a training bar and
- 35:33that's why you have a non-training bar,
- 35:35period.
- 35:37So, yeah,
- 35:38the fact that she was like and kept
- 35:40on and kept on and I think she
- 35:42just –
- 35:43And I don't want to give her an
- 35:44excuse on out because she's young, um,
- 35:47you know, or specifically because of that,
- 35:48but I think she just dug herself in
- 35:50so deep.
- 35:52At that point, it becomes very,
- 35:53very hard to kind of undig yourself and
- 35:56start just admitting.
- 35:58Yeah.
- 35:58Okay.
- 35:59I did that.
- 35:59Yeah.
- 35:59Okay.
- 35:59I did that.
- 36:01Um,
- 36:03Terry says we have a barbell at the
- 36:04gym that is two pounds lighter.
- 36:05I know immediately.
- 36:08I have a training bar in my garage
- 36:10that my wife uses.
- 36:12The metal isn't even the same.
- 36:14The neurons are not even close to being
- 36:16the same.
- 36:17No.
- 36:18You can tell immediately.
- 36:20Yeah.
- 36:20As soon as you grab it,
- 36:22it's not a real bar.
- 36:23I shouldn't say real bar.
- 36:25It's not a,
- 36:26an only bar or a standard bar.
- 36:29Right.
- 36:30Yeah.
- 36:32Immediately.
- 36:32It's not even made of the same material.
- 36:37I don't know where that would be on
- 36:41IG unless they put it in the story.
- 36:44Let's see if Jenny's got it.
- 36:52The other thing I wanted to say is
- 36:54about this whole cheating thing.
- 36:58Siobhan was talking about, oh,
- 36:59it's on Hillers.
- 37:00Okay.
- 37:03You got it?
- 37:09If my computer would pop up.
- 37:20Here we go.
- 37:27The hardest pill I've ever had to swallow.
- 37:29I was warned this could happen.
- 37:31But you always hope it won't.
- 37:32I made a very stupid mistake.
- 37:34I knew better.
- 37:35After the call yesterday,
- 37:36I hoped I had done the right thing
- 37:38by being honest,
- 37:39that I could rebuild and take this as
- 37:41a hard but valuable lesson.
- 37:44Then the email came.
- 37:45My heart sank,
- 37:46and I still can't believe it.
- 37:48I'm sorry.
- 37:49This is the hardest lesson I've ever had
- 37:50to learn, but this is not a goodbye.
- 37:53This is still my dream,
- 37:54even though as a twenty-year-old,
- 37:55four years feels like the end of the
- 37:57world.
- 37:58This dream isn't over.
- 37:59We'll rebuild from the ground up,
- 38:01and I hope that in four years,
- 38:03you'll see me at the games.
- 38:07And so there is a clip of the
- 38:09email.
- 38:11The decision is final.
- 38:12As a result of this,
- 38:15misconduct for your sanction will be
- 38:17applied to you effective from February
- 38:19twenty sixth,
- 38:20twenty twenty six to February twenty six,
- 38:23twenty.
- 38:25Thirty.
- 38:25It should be thirty.
- 38:27Yeah.
- 38:27Yeah.
- 38:28Holy smoke.
- 38:30The decision is final.
- 38:31You will not be permitted to participate
- 38:32in any CrossFit game season events,
- 38:34including any CrossFit-owned community
- 38:36events,
- 38:37such as the Community Cup or Service Cup.
- 38:44So, there it is.
- 38:47She collaborated with Hiller.
- 38:48On the post, yeah.
- 38:53So there it is.
- 38:54She got a four-year ban for cheating.
- 38:57That's the stuff that needs to happen for
- 38:59this to go away.
- 39:00The risk is not worth the reward.
- 39:03No.
- 39:03And here's your proof right here.
- 39:06And I'm really glad Hiller made how many
- 39:09videos he made and then went live with
- 39:10him again yesterday because now it's out
- 39:12there forever.
- 39:13The internet is forever.
- 39:14So if somebody is thinking about doing
- 39:18something that stupid, please relate,
- 39:22you know, review yourself back to,
- 39:24remind yourself back to the Hiller videos
- 39:27and just see what happened.
- 39:28Follow the story all the way to the
- 39:29end.
- 39:30Girl got a four-year ban.
- 39:34Do we think the coach is innocent?
- 39:36No.
- 39:36No, I don't.
- 39:39Carolyn,
- 39:40she can still do lots of CrossFit comps
- 39:42that don't call themselves CrossFit.
- 39:44She can do High Rocks, WFP, etc.
- 39:46Sure.
- 39:47Unless those comps say we are adhering to
- 39:51the decision of another.
- 39:54Because that happens in PEDs as well.
- 39:59Some rules say that we adhere to any
- 40:02suspensions by any other
- 40:05Here's the thing.
- 40:06So what Mr.
- 40:07Satan Fit is saying there that she is
- 40:09super fit,
- 40:10she would have had a decent time,
- 40:13like a really good time.
- 40:14I say decent,
- 40:15like a really good time had she just
- 40:16put her actual score up there.
- 40:18Well, they were talking on the thing,
- 40:20and if you slowed the video down to
- 40:22normal speed,
- 40:23she still finishes under the time cap,
- 40:26which is a great score for that workout.
- 40:28It's remarkable because a lot of people
- 40:30did not.
- 40:31Which leads to Shanna's comment even more.
- 40:34I think it's funny how she says it
- 40:35was a stupid mistake.
- 40:36It was a choice to cheat.
- 40:39Absolutely a choice.
- 40:40It was a choice.
- 40:43At some point, you make the decision.
- 40:45You go, this is what I'm doing.
- 40:48Torpedoes be damned.
- 40:49Full speed ahead.
- 40:50This is what I'm doing.
- 40:52And that's where it comes in.
- 40:54That's how you get a four-year ban is
- 40:56because you consciously made a decision.
- 40:58And you have to keep making it because
- 41:00now I have my video.
- 41:02Now I'm going to put it in this
- 41:03editing software.
- 41:04Now I'm going to.
- 41:05And every single decision you make is just
- 41:07another confirmation of this is what I'm
- 41:10doing.
- 41:10This is the path that I'm going down.
- 41:16um probably can't do xenon either i would
- 41:18say no because crossfit is partnering with
- 41:20them correct so it is a crossfit
- 41:23sanctioned event uh we gotta stop acting
- 41:27like twenty-year-olds or kids they aren't
- 41:28they're adults yeah uh yeah i understand
- 41:34carla i agree
- 41:37Joseph,
- 41:38the reference to her finishing was the
- 41:41video she sent Hiller where the weights
- 41:43were correct, the bar was correct.
- 41:47She wouldn't have finished at normal
- 41:48speed.
- 41:49Yeah, not her original video.
- 41:52The second video.
- 41:53She had finished at normal speed.
- 41:54Yeah.
- 41:57And it's out there forever now.
- 41:59Yep.
- 42:00And now it will always be out there
- 42:02in the Hillerverse.
- 42:04I hope...
- 42:05My hope for her is that she serves
- 42:08her band, continues to work,
- 42:10and comes back and Ricky Garrards the shit
- 42:13out of it.
- 42:15Right?
- 42:16Comes back, continues to own it.
- 42:19Right?
- 42:20Somebody says,
- 42:21you that girl that sped up your video?
- 42:23And she goes, yeah, that was me.
- 42:25And just rolls on with the rest of
- 42:27her life and Ricky Garrards the shit out
- 42:29of it.
- 42:29I hope she kills it.
- 42:30I really, really do.
- 42:31Like, I'm glad.
- 42:32I mean,
- 42:33it took a little bit of poking and
- 42:34prodding, but...
- 42:38I say eventually.
- 42:38I mean, what,
- 42:39a weekend for her to come back around
- 42:41and say, okay, yeah, no, I messed up.
- 42:46This morning on the Savant show with
- 42:48Daniel Chaffee, they were talking about,
- 42:50I think before Chaffee got on,
- 42:52they were talking about the cheating and
- 42:54how Greg always used to say the community
- 42:58will take care of that.
- 42:59Police itself.
- 43:01Right.
- 43:02And then he gave Hiller credit that Hiller
- 43:04has kind of been that mantra of the
- 43:07community taking care of that.
- 43:10And that's what's happening because it's
- 43:14not like Andrew sits in a room and
- 43:18watches thousands of hours of videotape.
- 43:23There are people in the community sending
- 43:25him stuff all the time,
- 43:27calling out this person or that person or
- 43:29this, or hey,
- 43:30that judge wasn't this person or that
- 43:32person, right?
- 43:34He's just collecting all that and putting
- 43:35it into a presentable format so that we
- 43:39all find out.
- 43:43I w I would,
- 43:44I would be very curious to know how
- 43:47much time he actually met.
- 43:49Mr.
- 43:50Andrews spends how much time he spends,
- 43:52like going through all of the various
- 43:55stuff that people send him.
- 43:58Because I know it's gotta be a lot.
- 44:00He said,
- 44:00he said it before that it's a lot
- 44:02and it just takes time.
- 44:04And like, what am I looking at?
- 44:05Why am I looking at this?
- 44:08What am I looking for?
- 44:09Oh, holy shit, there it is.
- 44:11And the fact that a cheater got a
- 44:13four-year ban is a huge deterrent for
- 44:18ongoing cheaters.
- 44:19That's a big deal.
- 44:22That's a big deal.
- 44:22I actually feel a whole lot better now
- 44:23knowing that that actually happened.
- 44:26Yeah, if you want to take your shot,
- 44:28you're going to have to sit out four
- 44:29years.
- 44:30Good luck.
- 44:33Absolutely good luck.
- 44:38Still unbelievable they couldn't justify
- 44:40sanctioning Kale.
- 44:41He didn't even submit a video.
- 44:43That's why.
- 44:45And he also never came out and said
- 44:48that he cheated.
- 44:50This girl admitted to everything.
- 44:51It's the same reason why,
- 44:52even though they never drug tested Hiller,
- 44:54they banned him for four years for PEDs
- 44:56because he said he was using PEDs on
- 44:59a public forum.
- 45:01That's why they didn't.
- 45:03And Kale has faded away into nothing.
- 45:06There's also been a change in leadership.
- 45:09Just saying.
- 45:09Yep.
- 45:10I don't know if that had any impact
- 45:12on this at all,
- 45:13but there has been a change in leadership.
- 45:16I would say probably not,
- 45:17but you never know.
- 45:21The last thing I had on my list,
- 45:23and I keep putting it on the thumbnail,
- 45:24so I just want to get it out,
- 45:26is Girls Unfiltered is starting this
- 45:30Thursday.
- 45:30Okay.
- 45:31Dude, I cannot wait.
- 45:33To be as transparent with themselves and
- 45:35what they go through in a year as
- 45:37they were coming hard at the boys
- 45:40interrupted.
- 45:43That was, that wasn't just coming hard.
- 45:45That was swinging with everything that
- 45:47they had.
- 45:48That video is outstanding.
- 45:50I laughed from the,
- 45:53from the moment it started.
- 45:54And then I realized what they were
- 45:55actually doing.
- 45:57And then as soon as she said,
- 45:58stop trying to make fetch happen,
- 45:59I was like, thank you, Jesus.
- 46:01This just happened.
- 46:03That's going to be,
- 46:06if it's half as good,
- 46:07which it's going to be at least.
- 46:09And then the possible collaboration with
- 46:12the boys, right?
- 46:16Yeah.
- 46:16I'm ready for it.
- 46:17I'm absolutely ready for it.
- 46:18What I found interesting was I watched the
- 46:20beginning of Boys Interrupted.
- 46:23And they said they weren't going to make
- 46:25a comment about the reel.
- 46:31Now James did say a few things, but,
- 46:35and that's, and the other guys were like,
- 46:36Hey,
- 46:37we said we weren't going to comment on
- 46:38that video.
- 46:41Yeah.
- 46:42I'm done.
- 46:42I'm done.
- 46:44That's fantastic.
- 46:44I hope to God,
- 46:46like when they kept calling Dallin
- 46:49freaking Pat Vellner.
- 46:53It's the blonde one that always finishes
- 46:55third.
- 46:56Yeah, always finishes third.
- 46:58It's Vellner, right?
- 46:59Yeah, no, it's Vellner.
- 47:01Pretty sure it's Vellner.
- 47:03Justin's still CrossFit.
- 47:04He just doesn't win anymore.
- 47:06Oh, my God.
- 47:08They came hard.
- 47:10Dude, I love it.
- 47:11And did the other two ever really win
- 47:13the games?
- 47:14Yeah.
- 47:14It was just cardio for James.
- 47:16Cardio games for James.
- 47:20And Jason snuck a towel out to the
- 47:22floor for the pegboards.
- 47:23Wiped the pegboards down.
- 47:25Yes.
- 47:26Dude, that was so good.
- 47:28Oh my word.
- 47:29Now they have to be willing to do
- 47:30that with themselves.
- 47:32Yes.
- 47:33A hundred percent.
- 47:34That's,
- 47:34that's what makes the boys interrupted.
- 47:36Good.
- 47:37Is there willing to dog on themselves?
- 47:40Boys being dudes, right?
- 47:43Can the girls criticize themselves and be
- 47:46okay with it?
- 47:47Yes.
- 47:48If they can talk shit about themselves as
- 47:50well as the boys do,
- 47:52then they're going to be going places.
- 47:56No, they really will.
- 47:57It's going to be a fantastic show and
- 47:59it feels in a spot on Thursday and
- 48:02There were some people in the space that
- 48:04commented on that reel and said, well,
- 48:08Monday night, the WOD Prep podcast,
- 48:10and Tuesday night, this podcast,
- 48:12and Wednesday night, the Barbell Spin.
- 48:14Thursday night, now them.
- 48:15What a lineup.
- 48:17You left out Sunday night.
- 48:18Right.
- 48:19I skipped right over Sunday,
- 48:20which is technically the actual beginning
- 48:21of the week, boys and girls.
- 48:23I know everybody thinks of it as the
- 48:23end of the weekend, but...
- 48:25You're incredible, Carolyn Prevost.
- 48:27A hundred percent.
- 48:29Indeed.
- 48:29And
- 48:31fit as hell jamie latimer hundred percent
- 48:35who have both strong opinions on all kinds
- 48:38of things fyi um that's okay i'm not

- 48:59asking me about if I knew anything about
- 49:02beef between Sevan and Spin and all of
- 49:05that.
- 49:06And I said, no, I don't.
- 49:08And the reason I don't is because we
- 49:12have our own little corner that we stay
- 49:14in and we don't get involved and we
- 49:16don't care about any of their drama and
- 49:18or nonsense.
- 49:19We do our thing and then we go

- 51:20I didn't even have a good segue for
- 51:22Thursday.
- 51:23He wasn't in the chat to help me
- 51:24out.
- 51:25No,
- 51:25I'm about to get on by the messenger
- 51:26and be like, dude, what the hell?
- 51:29Left me hanging.
- 51:30I needed her today.
- 51:33The amputee and the quarterfinal mess just
- 51:36had me all distraught.
- 51:38The amputee alleged murderer.
- 51:41Because you got to add alleged to it,
- 51:43but you can't add alleged to amputee
- 51:45because he is an amputee.
- 51:46He's an amputee who's an alleged murderer.
- 51:49Don't have to add alleged to professional
- 51:51cornhole player.
- 51:52Because he's also a professional cornhole
- 51:54player.
- 51:54That point is set in stone as well.
- 51:58Oh, goodness.
- 52:00With that,
- 52:00I hope you guys have a great rest
- 52:01of your day.
