• 3:22
  seconds ago, now I don't know where it's at.
• 3:24
  Yeah. So you excited Tyler?
• 3:26
  I'm very excited. I I didn't know how it was going
• 3:31
  to go this year and Syndicate was where I got my start.
• 3:36
  Like basically for everything. Wilson was the first person to
• 3:40
  let me in and so I I was going to feel bad if I didn't get to
• 3:43
  do it again this year. So.
• 3:45
  I I. I love partnering with Wilson, I
• 3:50
  love supporting the syndicate, I love Knoxville, so it's all good
• 3:53
  for me. Plus now we're doing P score for
• 3:56
  the syndicate, so that's going to be it's.
• 3:58
  True, yeah. Wilson doesn't know yet, but we
• 4:00
  are definitely doing P score. Whether he knows it or not.
• 4:04
  We're going to hijack the competition corner.
• 4:06
  He'll be sitting right next to us.
• 4:07
  So I will just say, hey, here's here's the formula.
• 4:11
  Work your magic and amazing pool boy.
• 4:16
  Can I help commentate the assets?
• 4:18
  I don't know. Should we hold some auditions?
• 4:23
  To be determined yeah we're we're we're figuring it out but
• 4:27
  I'm. Surprised.
• 4:27
  I'm surprised pool boy would go over go to syndicate over
• 4:31
  Norcal. Yeah.
• 4:32
  Our people will call your people.
• 4:34
  Can we tell? Like can we talk about Norcal?
• 4:37
  Is that open or no? Yeah, I was telling everybody,
• 4:40
  OK. So, so Savon.
• 4:42
  CF on the CF Network. So Savon crews doing Norcal?
• 4:46
  Yeah, I'm surprised you're asking us.
• 4:48
  Well boy, I figured you'd be more more over there.
• 4:52
  No, but maybe he wants to travel.
• 4:53
  I don't. Know we are taking auditions
• 4:55
  though, that's. Right.
• 4:57
  Send us your auditions. We'll not do anything with them
• 4:59
  except for watching for ourselves, but we no we could.
• 5:02
  That would be a great if somebody is like amazing like
• 5:05
  when you were. You so So you remember last year
• 5:08
  Dave threw out the the casting call to announce an open
• 5:11
  workout. Yeah.
• 5:13
  And Souza was it? Was it Sivan Me Jr. who was the
• 5:22
  third? Was it Souza that rated all of
• 5:25
  the? Yeah, the videos.
• 5:27
  All the videos, maybe we should do that for you know, live
• 5:32
  stream and other other help on the live stream that would be
• 5:35
  good. And then we could have a top
• 5:36
  five worst auditions and we'll show those in the show.
• 5:39
  We'll show all of them. We'll just, we'll just rate
• 5:41
  everybody. Barstool did that and for an
• 5:44
  intern and those videos are incredible.
• 5:48
  They're amazing. I mean, with the team, with the
• 5:51
  team, you know, in different sides of the country, we're
• 5:55
  going to need some help. So send your help our way.

• 6:44
  Yeah, Tyler, was that the only Norcal workout you did?
• 6:47
  Yeah, it was it. Yeah, I've been.
• 6:51
  I've been traveling all over the country during a major, major
• 6:54
  snowstorm. I didn't have any time for much
• 6:56
  else. Dude, you drove all the way to
• 6:58
  was it Bloomington or Indianapolis?
• 6:59
  Yeah, I drove all the way to Bloomington, IN.
• 7:02
  Congratulations, Janelle. Congrats.
• 7:05
  Oh, that reminds me, I need to say this bit.
• 7:07
  If you are a master's student, maybe even a bachelor's student,
• 7:12
  and are looking to get a PhD in kinesiology or applied
• 7:16
  neuroscience. Nerds.
• 7:19
  Reach out to me or my wife. Serious.
• 7:21
  This is a serious thing. On the offshot that we got
• 7:25
  somebody, yeah. We'll have somebody.
• 7:27
  Kinesiology alone will catch a bunch, but yeah.
• 7:30
  Neuroscience is cooler, but. Yeah.
• 7:33
  Sounds like whatever. Sounds hard.
• 7:35
  Sounds like a lot of school. It's dude.
• 7:39
  It's. Been to about 8 different types.
• 7:40
  Of school I had AI, had AI, had a neuroanatomy.
• 7:43
  But here it is dude. I had a neuroanatomy class and
• 7:46
  it was one of the easiest classes I've ever taken.
• 7:50
  Oh, I love the body. Like all the body science stuff.
• 7:53
  It's cool. I love the body.
• 7:55
  I love the body that's. How we got to the dumper.
• 7:57
  Particular to the lower end and the back half.
• 8:02
  So, yeah, well, more on more on the Syndicate live stream coming
• 8:05
  up soon. But yeah, that that's our that's
• 8:09
  our big announcement. We'll be out there live
• 8:11
  streaming it. And for all those who can't make
• 8:12
  it out to Knoxville, but if you should have come out to
• 8:14
  Knoxville and just not watch us, watch the competition on the
• 8:18
  floor because. It'll be a big one.
• 8:21
  Yeah, yeah, we got some viewer comments.
• 8:24
  It's a special episode of Viewer comments tonight.
• 8:28
  You'll see here why in a second. Then we'll have Jason Ansley
• 8:33
  from the Monster Games. If any of you guys are thinking
• 8:35
  about doing the qualifier, Correct me if I'm wrong John,
• 8:39
  but we might get a a sneak peek or.
• 8:41
  I think we're going to have a workout release a day at any
• 8:45
  time. Yes, a day.
• 8:46
  I think they're supposed to be released tomorrow at 8:00.
• 8:48
  But a leak is going to be. Yeah, but it's from the source.
• 8:54
  So is it a leak? It's more of like a a little
• 8:58
  sprinkle. I prefer to say leak.
• 8:59
  I think it's better. For like a a dripped faucet when
• 9:03
  it's when it's freezing, it's better for.
• 9:04
  SEO if you say it's. The don't don't make me worried.
• 9:07
  I'm already worried about that issue right now.
• 9:09
  Fair, very fair. Then we're going to beat the
• 9:13
  dead horse with some picture of this.
• 9:14
  We're going to do another one of those until you guys hate it and
• 9:17
  then. Then we'll figure.
• 9:21
  Something out, we'll RIP somebody else's ID off and come
• 9:24
  up with another game and then we'll wrap it up.
• 9:27
  Looking at the Mayhem Field last week, we said how they should
• 9:31
  have done their invites. They're rolling in slowly.
• 9:34
  We're going to take a look at who could podium qualify for the
• 9:38
  Games and who has no chance and should just stay home.
• 9:42
  So we'll wrap it up there. Yeah, the spin family got hit
• 9:48
  hard with an ice storm, lots of trees down, lost power for six
• 9:54
  hours or something like that. So.
• 9:57
  Ice storms are the best. It was good.
• 10:00
  It was good sledding weather. Did you guys do the camper?
• 10:03
  Did you? No, because it was too close to
• 10:07
  the trees that were just like snapping in half everywhere.
• 10:10
  We're like if this goes the wrong way, we're did.
• 10:12
  Anything bad happen? Around us, no.
• 10:16
  Nashville has like hundreds. Nashville has hundreds of 1100
• 10:20
  thousand plus people still without power.
• 10:23
  Like some are talking about two weeks maybe of getting it.
• 10:27
  Hopefully people still find places for the generator, but we
• 10:30
  had some crazy like heartbreak in Texas, like some crazy
• 10:35
  heartbreak. These, these.
• 10:36
  Do you want me to say it or no? I don't know.
• 10:39
  You're already in, now you might as well just go.
• 10:41
  All right. Thanks.
• 10:42
  No, no, let's just move on. Just like I want you to picture,
• 10:47
  I want you to picture this. Like these two 16 year old girls
• 10:52
  were sledding and their 16 year, 16 year old boy, I don't know if
• 10:56
  they're boyfriend or girlfriend or anything, but he was driving
• 10:59
  the car, hit a curb, the sled hit the tree and both the girls
• 11:03
  died. Both of them.
• 11:05
  Yeah, one went to the hospital and then died when she got to
• 11:08
  the hospital. One died immediately.
• 11:09
  But like, I don't know why, like, but it's like you're
• 11:15
  having fun and then it's like the worst thing ever.
• 11:20
  Think if you're the boy, like you might not have done
• 11:24
  anything. I know I don't know any of the
• 11:25
  details, but you could just be driving and not think like
• 11:28
  you're not nothing inherently wrong.
• 11:31
  And then you just killed two people Like it's it's it's it
• 11:37
  was. I don't I'm usually like
• 11:39
  uncaring, but I I was like, that's it hit me.
• 11:44
  Yeah, that's tough one. It also don't don't do that.
• 11:50
  Well, in Texas, I don't. How many ice storms have you had
• 11:52
  John in your life? I wasn't here for the bad one.
• 11:56
  This was, and it was really only like a day for us.
• 12:01
  It was back to 85 the next. Day no, no, but it's like it was
• 12:04
  40 and like ice was melting so the it's funny, everybody's like
• 12:09
  preparing because everybody's so scared of 2021 because I mean it
• 12:14
  was a that was a bad deal. Like people just didn't have
• 12:17
  power and what do you what do you do?
• 12:20
  I like and they're not prepared the way northern states are like
• 12:24
  you can't drive because they don't have salt to put on the
• 12:27
  roads. Like literally they're just very
• 12:31
  unprepared because it doesn't happen.
• 12:33
  So when it happened really bad and like pipes pursed and then
• 12:38
  you don't have a generator, like just really bad stuff happens
• 12:43
  because you're not, you're just unprepared.
• 12:46
  But people are freaking out like hard and like Walmart and HEB is
• 12:50
  all sold out of everything. And it literally was a day.
• 12:54
  It was a day of it was like, hey, we're going to stay inside
• 12:57
  today. That was it.
• 12:59
  That was it like Leslie had a code grey and she had to stay in
• 13:04
  the hospital and like she like took you know, like blankets and
• 13:09
  food and stuff and stay at the hospital and and me and Abby
• 13:12
  Grace are just holding up and I'm literally 24 hours like like
• 13:18
  and power was on the whole time was like this is a normal a
• 13:22
  normal Sunday. Other other than like we didn't
• 13:24
  go to church normal Sunday like just I worked out like like
• 13:31
  nothing different and everybody was like Oval team was sold out.
• 13:37
  Yeah, it was it was that that they weren't sold out at Oval
• 13:40
  team, but the that's because. They know that.
• 13:42
  They have to stop them. It's just funny.
• 13:44
  They're everybody's so afraid of what happened in 2021.
• 13:47
  But, and I don't blame them, but it was literally nothing.
• 13:52
  It's been I saw your video and I'm like these people, these
• 13:55
  people have no idea. Like, yeah, yeah, All right,
• 14:02
  Let's see. Do you want to go to view your
• 14:04
  comments? Absolutely I do is.
• 14:07
  This something you're expecting? Yeah, here we go.
• 14:10
  Mind the darkerness. Yep.
• 14:13
  Where is your cracker bucket? Baby grew.
• 14:16
  Cracker bucket. Keep your crackers in a bucket,
• 14:18
  folks. Oh boy.
• 14:21
  Bill Clinton is here. Do I need to log off for this?
• 14:25
  You don't. You don't, John, You don't.
• 14:28
  It's just the video. It's unlisted, evidently, Yeah.
• 14:31
  I thought we weren't doing. Politics.
• 14:32
  So, Bill, no, we do. Politics.
• 14:35
  Bill's not really politics at this point.
• 14:37
  Everybody loves Bill. Bill, you know, Bill's a big fan
• 14:41
  of the show. He obviously calls in every once
• 14:43
  in a while. And we were talking this past
• 14:47
  weekend in the ice storm and I said, hey, why don't you read
• 14:53
  the viewer comments? Oh my.
• 14:55
  God love to do that. So you know, we, we don't have
• 15:01
  the technology to do it live. Like we can't bring another
• 15:03
  person on, you know, you know, it's just not working.
• 15:05
  So we, we did the, the, the, the Jocko style where he just
• 15:12
  recorded, he read them off and then sent me the video.
• 15:15
  We're going to act like it's live, so just go with it.
• 15:17
  But. It was good of him to do this.
• 15:19
  Oh, for sure. I mean, the amount of time he
• 15:22
  had to spend recording this and Hillary all over him.
• 15:25
  So anyway, here we go. First one, Hey all, Bill Clinton
• 15:29
  here. I'm such a huge fan of the Spin
• 15:32
  I watch every night. I was so honored with spin.
• 15:34
  Asked me to read this week's viewer comments.
• 15:36
  Let's go. First one is from a finish
• 15:38
  runner. Interesting. 90% of that decline
• 15:41
  list are WF peers. Why would you invite all those
• 15:45
  people who have essentially trashed or boycotted CrossFit?
• 15:48
  Good riddance. Jesus, Bill.
• 15:52
  You're going to pull, you can pull that up and we're having
• 15:54
  Ansley on later on that that's that's a mean thing.
• 15:58
  What? Why?
• 15:59
  Why would you invite all those people have essentially trashed
• 16:01
  or boycotted CrossFit? Everybody loses their way at
• 16:07
  some point or another and I will gladly bring you back onto the
• 16:10
  ship because you can easily leave in the future and there's
• 16:13
  no big deal. Did you see the French throw
• 16:17
  down has their face off tomorrow to announce their qualifier
• 16:21
  workouts? And you got yellow Hosta, you
• 16:25
  got Victor Hoffer, you got Linda Kiesman.
• 16:28
  All three did not do I guess Linda probably, I think she
• 16:31
  tried one of the semifinals did not qualify.
• 16:34
  But the other two went the WFP route and they're I don't know
• 16:40
  if they're back. They don't know if they're just
• 16:41
  doing the French third down to do it or if they're.
• 16:43
  Actually, why would they do it? Why would they do it?
• 16:45
  If they weren't doing, they weren't back you.
• 16:49
  Could pull the Fuliano. Yeah, that's the key going.
• 16:51
  To bring up the Fuliano or the ghee and.
• 16:53
  Just I think that's so dumb. I I have more respect for people
• 16:57
  that like either they're all the way out or they're and like I
• 17:00
  know, obviously you come back right, but that are like, Hey,
• 17:04
  I'm not doing it this year. Then I'm not gonna do it, but
• 17:09
  I'm still gonna do all the stuff because of the community, like
• 17:13
  either you you're you're fake if you do that.
• 17:16
  Like you either say I'm making this choice, this what I want to
• 17:19
  do or I'm riding with y'all and I'm making this choice is what I
• 17:23
  want to do is you don't go like I don't support CrossFit, but
• 17:28
  then I'll still do it like because.
• 17:31
  If they if they participate in the season, I'm totally cool
• 17:33
  with it. I don't like last year where if
• 17:36
  you're not gonna do the season, you can still compete.
• 17:38
  Like I think if you're gonna like this is part of the
• 17:41
  CrossFit game season. You don't just have to like pop
• 17:43
  in and not. That's what I'm saying.
• 17:45
  I think. I think doing the Fuliano route
• 17:47
  is is I am not a fan of that. I'm not gonna say she's dumb for
• 17:51
  it. You know she'd do what you want,
• 17:53
  but I'm not a fan of that. I don't think she was outwardly
• 17:57
  vocal like anti CrossFit, I think she just said weird
• 18:00
  feelings about like doing it. It's just but I'm talking about
• 18:05
  just how how you participated like you're boycotting by not
• 18:08
  doing it, but then you're still going to do the semi final
• 18:11
  unless you're getting paid like a lot like if it's 30 Cal, if
• 18:15
  it's 30 K at the end of the line like N Cal, I get it.
• 18:18
  She has sponsorship deals like she probably was committed to
• 18:21
  certain amount of. Events, I guess.
• 18:23
  Yeah, I think she posted something about how it wasn't
• 18:25
  about a protest, but it was about not wanting to put
• 18:30
  pressure on herself and compete or something like that.
• 18:32
  But then she ends up competing and could have qualified twice.
• 18:35
  I think it was I'm. I'm not.
• 18:37
  That's why I'm not talking bad about her individually.
• 18:41
  I'm just saying I'm not a fan of people doing that.
• 18:44
  I'm not. It's not like digging at her.
• 18:46
  I don't like doing that is what I'm saying.
• 18:50
  Yeah, or Gee, going out to Torian when he wouldn't go to
• 18:53
  Copa. Like it's you ought to just, it
• 18:56
  makes people just not care about the competition as much because
• 18:59
  you don't matter. Well, it makes it harder for
• 19:02
  people to watch. Yeah.
• 19:04
  Right. But that's what I'm saying.
• 19:05
  Oh, he doesn't count, OK, but he just won the event.
• 19:08
  Like and then you're like, I don't care.
• 19:11
  Like it's a short attention span to get people right to get
• 19:15
  people into it and you F it up. I.
• 19:18
  Don't know, like say Fuliano does it this year, like we have
• 19:23
  a lot to talk about 'cause she won two last year or at least
• 19:26
  qualified twice last year. It's like it still gives us
• 19:29
  something in the future to talk about.
• 19:30
  I don't know I'm I'm just not as.
• 19:32
  I'm OK to come back. No, if she does this season,
• 19:35
  it's fine Tyler, it's fine. I would just rather you go all
• 19:39
  the way out or all the way in then be be I'm out, but then
• 19:44
  still do all the stuff right that I just I would.
• 19:48
  I don't like that aspect of it. I get if you have sponsorships
• 19:51
  and you have to do it, blah, blah, blah.
• 19:52
  I just don't like it. I'm not a fan of it.
• 19:54
  It's like, it's like me saying I'm not a fan of the college
• 19:57
  football rules now because you can transfer anywhere you want
• 20:00
  to go. Right.
• 20:01
  Every year, somewhere else. But you're still a fan.
• 20:04
  Right. Like I still watch college
• 20:06
  football. I hate that that's how it is
• 20:09
  now. This means she got invites to
• 20:12
  those events, right? I I don't like that the
• 20:16
  semifinals can invite whoever they want be part of the season.
• 20:23
  Yeah, I kind of agree with that. Like if you're not trying to
• 20:26
  qualify for the games, like you do add to the athlete pool in
• 20:32
  that like you can mess it up and if like somebody's not good
• 20:34
  enough, you'll disturb that. But at the same time, like it
• 20:37
  just makes it weird when it's like, OK, she got second, but
• 20:39
  she doesn't go to the games or yeah, it's it's strange.
• 20:42
  I don't disagree with that, John.
• 20:44
  I just I'm a little bit more OK with it I guess.
• 20:48
  It's the same thing. I mean, it's, it's not the same,
• 20:50
  but it's a similar situation where if you win 1 and qualify,
• 20:54
  let's say somebody like Austin had, you know, qualified out of
• 20:57
  Mayhem last year or, or Colton, and then you get to go compete
• 21:01
  elsewhere, right, like Colton. Oh yeah, that's.
• 21:04
  Right, like. For money.
• 21:06
  Obviously Colton, yeah, Colton was looking for money and I get
• 21:11
  that to some degree, but at the same time, it's like.
• 21:15
  I don't like. If he was in the mix it would
• 21:16
  have been more confusing. Yeah, I don't like it just the
• 21:19
  same as that. So that's a fair comparison.
• 21:22
  Yeah, let's see. Let's see what Bill has to say
• 21:25
  next. Next up at Tyrell Brunson.
• 21:30
  Just bring back regional style. Obviously have to be registered
• 21:33
  for the game season. No special invites just because
• 21:36
  you're a big name. Make it to where athletes can
• 21:39
  still pick where they want to go, but it is their only chance.
• 21:43
  No backup plans, one opportunity to make the game.
• 21:46
  Giving athletes 2 three chances is ridiculous.
• 21:50
  I. 1st 100% agree with the regional standpoint.
• 21:55
  I don't agree with the I don't know that I do and don't agree
• 22:00
  with the one and done because like if the Luke situation were
• 22:06
  better and he could have like actually qualified, that would
• 22:09
  have been cool. But I mean.
• 22:12
  He might have qualified. He hadn't gone to every semi
• 22:14
  final until Syndicate. It was really cool during the
• 22:18
  regionals day as to what like this was your one chance and and
• 22:21
  like athletes put it all out on the line for that reason.
• 22:26
  Marcus Andrew nearly died trying to qualify.
• 22:29
  Yeah, and he did almost every time, right?
• 22:34
  Yeah. No, it's the one and done is
• 22:40
  interesting take. I just don't know how, if you go
• 22:44
  anywhere around the world, how how you how you start thinking
• 22:50
  about that. One and done plus you can go
• 22:53
  anywhere is a cool comb dude. I, I want that, I, I want the
• 22:57
  one and done. And, and if you don't make it,
• 23:00
  that's what the online semi finals are for.
• 23:03
  And you're gonna, what you'll, what will happen is 6 of the 10
• 23:06
  or 11 spots will get taken by the people that would have won
• 23:11
  eventually, right? And I think that's how it should
• 23:15
  be. Don't do the online get rid of
• 23:18
  that crap. You just don't want an online
• 23:19
  period. But they're always going.
• 23:21
  It's going to be a. It's a catch all though.
• 23:25
  I know it's. Just I don't mind the online at
• 23:27
  all, but I would love it to be a one and done thing.
• 23:31
  And then you can still do the online thing, but the one and
• 23:34
  done just makes it more mean more right.
• 23:38
  And then if you get some no name that like I just like a Connor
• 23:44
  Volts or a Maddie Fouts, like somebody like that.
• 23:47
  I know people aren't familiar with those names, but they're
• 23:50
  coming so. Listen Qualified Qualified for
• 23:53
  Norcal. Listen, listen to it 'cause
• 23:55
  they're coming. But somebody like that if they
• 23:58
  beat a Jason Hopper or a Abby Dolman to go to the games and
• 24:05
  now Abby Domit and Jason Hopper have to do the online semi
• 24:08
  finals like one, it's kind of like a wake up call for those
• 24:14
  two. But two, like it's a victory, a
• 24:18
  triumph over like in the moment, right?
• 24:22
  And it still is. But that if Hopper just goes to
• 24:24
  Norcal next week and gets a ticket like that, it's it's
• 24:27
  doesn't mean as much and gives us less to talk about.
• 24:30
  Think about it. If we had people to talk about,
• 24:32
  be like, I don't know, man, you know?
• 24:36
  Well, think about that when we get to the mayhem predictions
• 24:40
  and we started saying who's 4th, 5th, 6th, now you got to start
• 24:45
  going to the online semifinals in that situation versus they
• 24:50
  can still go elsewhere and hit up another competition.
• 24:54
  So. I do like if you take the John
• 24:58
  spin on it and you take away some of the spots that online
• 25:03
  semis gets because how many does it get right now?
• 25:05
  7. Heaven.
• 25:07
  Dude, that's not very much. I think you should go to three
• 25:10
  and it's like if you do like. Not allocate the other spots to
• 25:14
  the events or. Find another semi final or
• 25:18
  something I don't know. If you do knock Jason down, like
• 25:22
  it's the one way in which an athlete can interfere with
• 25:25
  another and potentially keep him out of the games to make
• 25:27
  themselves do better. I like that anytime like
• 25:30
  athletes can actually impede other athletes like that's that
• 25:34
  would be a cool way to do it. Yeah.
• 25:39
  Oh. No, Yeah, Abby, Grace, just.
• 25:46
  About to RIP the Internet cord out.
• 25:49
  Screw it. It's fine.
• 25:52
  All right, let's see. Go ahead, Bill.
• 25:57
  More on qualifying to semi finals at Tristan Harrison's
• 26:00
  quarterfinals should be the only qualifier people do and the only
• 26:03
  thing semis use to invite people.
• 26:05
  When you sign up for quarters, you also select which semis
• 26:09
  leaderboard you want to be on for an extra dollar amount for
• 26:12
  each one you select. OK.
• 26:17
  So basically your quarterfinals is the only path to a semi
• 26:20
  final. That's kind of your, that was
• 26:23
  your like, yeah, that was your spiel that right.
• 26:27
  Well, I mean, with Mayhem, it was, if you're going to do
• 26:30
  invites, what have an open call for who wants to go and then you
• 26:35
  can pick from them. I, I, at the end of the day, I'd
• 26:40
  rather have it all go through quarterfinals and then do that.
• 26:45
  The hard part is timing, like there's only three weeks, is it
• 26:50
  3 weeks between the end of quarterfinals and Mayhem?
• 26:57
  And so I can't, I could not imagine trying to finalize the
• 27:00
  roster of quarterfinals gets finalized.
• 27:05
  Getting everything you need from a, you know, name card,
• 27:09
  graphics, all that stuff within a week or two like that would be
• 27:14
  really tough. Perfect world.
• 27:15
  That's great, but I don't think you could do it logistically the
• 27:20
  way that we've set it up unless you condense the season into a
• 27:23
  shorter time frame. Not with the athletes denying
• 27:27
  the invite like they do. You think we'll see a lot of
• 27:32
  people decline it down the road. I think we'll see more, yeah.
• 27:37
  Like they've accepted it and now they're going to decline.
• 27:39
  Oh, Mayhem in particular. No, they just won't accept.
• 27:42
  I think there will be in other semifinals there.
• 27:45
  I mean, like, of course, like there's several athletes
• 27:48
  registered for several semifinals and it's like they're
• 27:51
  going to have to decline. Multiple.
• 27:56
  You think so, John? I think we'll have less
• 28:01
  declining since the season goes on.
• 28:05
  Do you think athletes understand the season well enough right
• 28:09
  now? You would hope.
• 28:12
  I think some do and I think some don't.
• 28:16
  In what way, John? I think maybe got a worm to get
• 28:22
  it together. The I think I think there are
• 28:28
  some, I think there are some like coaches that got it that
• 28:30
  have it got it on lot and explains it to their athletes.
• 28:33
  And then I think some athletes are like with their remote
• 28:38
  coaches, like think I'm just doing this one.
• 28:42
  And then if I don't make this one, then I'll worry about that
• 28:44
  one. And they're not preparing.
• 28:47
  Like you should do the Norcal qualifier, right?
• 28:50
  Like like it's there's no reason for you not to do it.
• 28:55
  Like, you probably won't need it.
• 28:57
  Like if you're a top athlete, you probably won't need it, but
• 29:01
  there's no reason for you not to.
• 29:04
  Just in case. You need to and I don't think
• 29:09
  very many athletes look at it like that.
• 29:11
  I think they think I'm going to this one and then I'll have this
• 29:15
  one after that or I'll I'll ask to be invited if I can't because
• 29:19
  that happens a lot. And then, and then they'll go
• 29:25
  and then I'll, I guess I'll do online if I, if I don't make
• 29:29
  those two. But I just, and I think it's
• 29:32
  probably half and half. And again, I'm speaking from
• 29:35
  nothing, right? But I would say half and half.
• 29:38
  There are coaches that I know that are on top of like
• 29:40
  everything, right? And then there are athletes that
• 29:46
  like elite athletes that I think aren't on top of everything.
• 29:51
  Yeah. I mean, even if you plan on
• 29:53
  going to syndicate, like there's a chance that you have a bad
• 29:58
  quarterfinals and you're not in the top echelon to get invited
• 30:03
  and next thing you know you're out on the outside looking in.
• 30:08
  Anybody that's games worthy could have qualified in Norcal.
• 30:14
  Yes, it was top 35 and not I mean, and they have 13 more
• 30:20
  invites remaining. Like if you are a possible
• 30:26
  qualifier, let's say like Quinn Robinson, he may not get an
• 30:30
  invite from Norcal, but let's say he just failed to qualify
• 30:37
  for Syndicate. Like he would have that as a
• 30:39
  backup. Just throwing like somebody out
• 30:41
  there, like who, who may have a chance this year to qualify.
• 30:46
  If, if you are a good athlete, I think if you're a games level
• 30:50
  athlete or an upper semifinals level athlete, you should know
• 30:53
  the entire architecture of the semifinals.
• 30:56
  Like that's like, it's like it's part of the, if you want to
• 31:02
  consider yourself a professional like that part of it is the game
• 31:05
  that you're playing. You should definitely understand
• 31:07
  that. I also understand like athletes
• 31:10
  that get stressed out by knowing that stuff and it's like they
• 31:13
  have 100% faith in their coach. And I think like most of the
• 31:16
  coaches do know the architecture really well and they should.
• 31:21
  I think it's negligent of you, you know, 'cause you should be
• 31:24
  educated on your own. But I also understand, like, if
• 31:27
  they're not and they're just like, I trust my coach.
• 31:31
  Yeah. Yeah, but I and I, I think for
• 31:34
  sure most athletes are like that.
• 31:36
  And I'm, I don't, I am not against that thought process
• 31:39
  from an athlete, but then it is on the coaches to be better.
• 31:45
  Sure. Yeah, No, I agree.
• 31:49
  All right, let's see what Bill has next for us.
• 31:54
  Oh, look who commented at William Plummer.
• 31:56
  If you're a full time trainer and you start throwing a pity
• 31:59
  party for yourself about early morning or coaching too much,
• 32:02
  just remind yourself so you wanted to be a trainer.
• 32:09
  So you want to be a trainer? That's the moment you realize,
• 32:11
  oh, I didn't want to be a trainer.
• 32:13
  It sounded great at first to know.
• 32:15
  Yeah, that was a great conversation with with Bill last
• 32:22
  week. I thought you brought some.
• 32:23
  A lot a lot of people liked it. I got a lot of comments from
• 32:28
  like DM set. Just thoroughly enjoyed the
• 32:30
  show. Yeah.
• 32:32
  I like William good. Yeah, let's see what's up next.
• 32:36
  Bill, take it away. I got 2 quick ones for you.
• 32:41
  The first one is from at Cody Huber.
• 32:43
  Just subscribe. Didn't realize I wasn't this
• 32:45
  whole time. Plus side, I can't be blamed for
• 32:48
  John's pectir, that's just plain ridiculous.
• 32:51
  If you are not subscribed already, do it now.
• 32:54
  Don't be like Cody. And from that KDCF John quote of
• 32:57
  the day, he has the personality of a deer shot dead.
• 33:04
  I don't think that's what I said.
• 33:06
  I I would like to I would try. I don't think we're ever than
• 33:10
  Jeff Adler, right? That's one of the best
• 33:13
  Mississippi metaphors I've ever. I, I, no, I grossly misquoted.
• 33:18
  I said he has the personality of a deer.
• 33:22
  OK, not a deer shot death, you said just an alive an alive
• 33:27
  deer. That's that's what I said.
• 33:29
  I'm 100% using that for the rest of my life.
• 33:34
  You got that personality of a deer shot dead deer.
• 33:37
  Shot dead, it's so good and it the way here and Bill said it
• 33:42
  says sounds so good. He's got that Arkansas charm, so
• 33:48
  yeah, All right. This one I think is.
• 33:51
  He told me the last one's a long 1, so stick with us, do.
• 33:54
  You know, do you know where Bill Clinton's from?
• 33:56
  Arkansas. No, but he's from.
• 33:58
  Wherever Walmart's from. Nope, Nope, Nope.
• 34:01
  They rhymes with Nope. Vince, Vin, you just can.
• 34:05
  Give it away. He doesn't know.
• 34:07
  Cope. Hope AR.
• 34:10
  Hope, Arkansas all. Right, last one from Bill.
• 34:17
  All right, here's the last one from a JCMM FP1.
• 34:21
  CrossFit does almost nothing for communities other than English
• 34:24
  and Spanish speaking ones. Two, there is a lack of regional
• 34:28
  representative. 3 Affiliation costs are relatively much higher
• 34:32
  than in the USA while the value is significantly lower.
• 34:36
  So most boxes stopped affiliating and no one really
• 34:39
  cares about the open anymore. 4 High Rocks has dominated the
• 34:43
  market and at the moment CrossFit as a brand offers no
• 34:47
  real value to gyms. 5 Almost all media are focused solely on the
• 34:51
  USA and ignore the rest of the world, so there is no reason to
• 34:55
  expect that the rest of the world wants to listen.
• 34:58
  It's not about pride, but the excess has an obsession with
• 35:01
  this topic as if it were something sacred.
• 35:04
  As Hiller says, no one cares. 6 The only incentive to sign up
• 35:08
  for the Open in Europe comes from local athletes, and they
• 35:11
  are not promoted by CrossFit at all.
• 35:14
  All right, that's it guys. Hillary is yelling at me.
• 35:17
  I got to run. It is.
• 35:21
  He really looks rough now, don't he?
• 35:23
  Yeah, that was about Europe there.
• 35:27
  That was a lot. CrossFit does nothing for the
• 35:30
  communities other than English and Spanish speaking ones.
• 35:35
  OK, maybe I don't. Know, I think.
• 35:39
  Peter has done a lot for European affiliates, I feel like
• 35:41
  he highlights. But he's English speaking.
• 35:46
  We talk about Europe or we talk about non-english speaking.
• 35:48
  We're talking about Europe and non.
• 35:51
  Most Europe speaks English too. Well, not this person.
• 35:56
  Well, they wrote it in English, but.
• 35:58
  Not the Balkans. That's true.
• 36:03
  Continue. There's a lack of regional
• 36:07
  representatives. I think there's a lack of
• 36:10
  representatives. Right.
• 36:13
  Meaning there's a void. Put your applications in now.
• 36:16
  Hobart is in the comments. He'll be taking your
• 36:18
  applications as a representative of the EU.
• 36:22
  If you e-mail Hobart at james@crossfit.com, he will
• 36:28
  respond to every e-mail that you send.
• 36:31
  I actually think it's it's James H.
• 36:33
  James H at crossfit.com. He actually won't.
• 36:36
  I've been waiting on a response for weeks and he still won't
• 36:38
  respond. Me.
• 36:39
  Did you capitalize your H? No, Tyler, I felt a little bit
• 36:45
  bad for you in our DMS. Oh no, no, no, I'm not worried
• 36:49
  about that. No, I know, but that was, I
• 36:52
  don't know why he included you in that.
• 36:54
  I I felt like that was dirty. He didn't just rub it in.
• 36:59
  I understand, James. It's OK.
• 37:02
  I got your number. He goes, he goes, he DMS me and
• 37:05
  Tyler together like as a group. And then he goes, John, what's
• 37:12
  your number? I need to call you that's.
• 37:15
  It and. Tyler.
• 37:19
  And Tyler sent sent the lonely Penguin.
• 37:22
  Or. Or no, I sent Pablo Escobar
• 37:25
  stando. Escobar.
• 37:28
  No response. Nothing.
• 37:30
  Just just what? What?
• 37:34
  Are we doing like? Why?
• 37:36
  Why is? Why would?
• 37:37
  You need it's a power play. It's showing showing who's boss.
• 37:42
  I understand, James, just know I'm very, very, very vindictive
• 37:46
  so. Yeah #3 affiliation costs are
• 37:53
  much higher than the USA while the value is significantly
• 37:57
  lower. No one cares about the Open
• 38:01
  because they're not. They have no representatives and
• 38:03
  they only care about English and Spanish speaking communities.
• 38:06
  What about the, the the the expenses being higher?
• 38:10
  I don't like. I thought we sort of equated it.
• 38:14
  What's the? Dollar rate, Exchange rate.
• 38:18
  Yeah, I guess I don't know. I I don't, I don't know either
• 38:22
  that that interests me. I know that we corrected that
• 38:25
  problem in like, South America, right?
• 38:28
  Yeah, Africa lower. I think it's still hard for them
• 38:32
  sometimes, but it's better than whatever 3500 U.S. dollars is in
• 38:38
  South African Rand. So the last one, Hyrox, has
• 38:44
  dominated the market as CrossFit offers no real value to gyms.
• 38:49
  It. I don't think Hyrox offers any
• 38:53
  more value to your gym than CrossFit does.
• 38:56
  I think this person does high rocks.
• 39:00
  High rocks are got it. Bro the only incentive to sign
• 39:04
  up for the open in Europe comes from local athletes and they are
• 39:06
  not promoted by CrossFit at all. Depends on your term of local
• 39:12
  athletes. Because if it's local athletes,
• 39:16
  not games athlete, I I don't I don't who's being promoted.
• 39:19
  That's not, you know, games athletes in America other than
• 39:23
  like a person who's lost 100 lbs since they've started CrossFit,
• 39:27
  right? Like I, I'm trying to figure out
• 39:29
  local athletes that are being promoted.
• 39:31
  I don't think that's a thing. No.
• 39:34
  And we had Tiago on the Sport of Fitness podcast to announce the
• 39:37
  Opens going to Portugal. So I mean they have some of that
• 39:41
  stuff. I mean so.
• 39:43
  It's it's that Europe doesn't have as many leading characters
• 39:47
  like at the top, the top three to five I.
• 39:50
  Mean that's why was my argument like last week or two weeks ago,
• 39:54
  last week or two weeks ago? Yeah, get hairy light for the
• 39:57
  podium in the Games, Lucy. Campbell, man, she's coming.
• 40:00
  Yeah. Lucy Campbell, she's on the
• 40:02
  podium with that. That was viewer comments.
• 40:06
  Thank you, Bill, for sharing and then reading off those for us.
• 40:11
  Maybe I'll invite somebody on next week, I don't know.
• 40:13
  We should do a different president every single time.
• 40:15
  Different president maybe. I don't want to be political.
• 40:18
  Next up, Monster Games, we have Mr. Jason Ansley in the house
• 40:25
  wearing his Monster Games sweatshirt.
• 40:28
  Looking good there. Thanks guys.
• 40:30
  I wasn't expecting company. I'm getting more professional.
• 40:33
  Oh yeah, he's got to put his. Shirt on now.
• 40:36
  It's his nice white beater is what it is.
• 40:39
  His dressed white beater. So you only get dressed up for
• 40:42
  Ansley? Is that how it works, John?
• 40:46
  I do feel special that he's putting his shirt on.
• 40:49
  If if I took off this wife beater for like a slightly
• 40:53
  whiter wife beater, that would be amazing.
• 41:00
  So, Jason, thanks for joining us.
• 41:01
  Yeah. Thanks for having me.
• 41:02
  You guys have some big news coming up tomorrow kicking off
• 41:06
  the online qualifier. Tell us about it.
• 41:09
  Yeah, we're, we're entering Year 9.
• 41:11
  So we're really excited about it.
• 41:12
  We, we moved to the Kansas City market last year in Overland
• 41:16
  Park. And so this is your two up
• 41:18
  there. We, we've had the qualifier now
• 41:22
  for six years. So this is, you know, we're in
• 41:26
  that window where it seems like qualifier season has gone a
• 41:29
  little bit crazy. But so we extended our week.
• 41:32
  I mean, we, we extended our qualifiers an extra week.
• 41:35
  TFX is going on and you know, Norcal's qualifiers going on
• 41:39
  and, and we just want to make sure that, you know, everybody
• 41:42
  that's participated in those has an opportunity if they want to.
• 41:44
  So. So we run it all the way through
• 41:46
  the 17th. So yeah, obviously Midwest
• 41:50
  based. I mean, how, how far do you draw
• 41:54
  for athletes to come in and and compete?
• 41:56
  Yeah. I mean, obviously the core of
• 41:58
  our athletes come from the Midwest.
• 42:00
  We started here, but we last year we had 40 to 4 different
• 42:03
  States and six different countries.
• 42:06
  We had a guy from Italy. We had we always have one or two
• 42:09
  from Brazil, Canada, we have a pretty good showing from Canada.
• 42:14
  We have a big chunk of athletes that come from Florida and
• 42:16
  California, a really big chunk of athletes from Arizona.
• 42:20
  So it is it is Midwest, but we we pull really from almost every
• 42:25
  state you. Know, I mean we, we live in
• 42:28
  South Texas and Leslie's doing the qualifier so.
• 42:31
  Yeah, I just saw her name today when I was kind of going through
• 42:34
  kind of see where we're at. I saw she was on there.
• 42:36
  That's intermediate women. That's actually a crazy tough
• 42:40
  division to be honest. With you oh we we know we know
• 42:43
  we just want to see I I don't think she's going to make it but
• 42:46
  we're we're we're we're just seeing we're just seeing where
• 42:49
  we're at and I. Think she's going to make it?
• 42:51
  What are you talking about? She's like.
• 42:53
  Yeah, they see Ansley gets the the job here.
• 42:56
  Yeah, he understands the assignment.
• 42:58
  This is, I mean, if you wouldn't give her a special invite, we'll
• 43:00
  take it. But the if, if you invite this,
• 43:05
  this is the, this is to have a goal for next year to see how
• 43:08
  far off we are. That's kind of.
• 43:10
  I think that's, I think that's good.
• 43:12
  You should do qualifiers in my opinion, if you're in the
• 43:14
  competitive space or wanting to be in the competitive space.
• 43:18
  And our our qualifier, it's really competitive.
• 43:20
  So yeah, I I think it's good. So that's you have obviously
• 43:25
  intermediate like what other I think a lot of masters, right?
• 43:29
  Like we do, we have a, we have a huge masters field, which that
• 43:31
  kind of expanded about four years ago when we started
• 43:34
  qualifying for legends, which is kind of one of our, our big
• 43:38
  things that we did. And I reluctantly talking to Joe
• 43:42
  and Bob decided to do it and try it and it just went crazy.
• 43:45
  So we wind up having a really, really big masters field and we
• 43:49
  can only take, you know, so many athletes to compete because just
• 43:52
  because of the heat. So we wind up taking like 20 men
• 43:56
  and women in 35 to 39 all the way up to 50 to 54.
• 43:59
  Then we drop it down to 10 to 15 and then 55 pluses, 5 to 10.
• 44:03
  It just kind of depends on what our registrations look like
• 44:06
  everywhere. But it's big.
• 44:08
  We have a really big field. It's strong.
• 44:10
  This year, of course, is a little different because we've
• 44:12
  always been able to have our masters compete and then turn
• 44:15
  around and go compete at the at the CrossFit Games.
• 44:18
  That's different this year. So that's going to change a
• 44:21
  little bit. But we're also now instead of
• 44:23
  going to Legends, which I don't, we're not sure if Legends is
• 44:26
  going to have their event in December or not.
• 44:28
  They they weren't sure. So we are a qualifier for World
• 44:31
  Fitness finals as well, as well as Desert City Classic in
• 44:34
  November. So I've already had a couple of
• 44:36
  people reach out to me and say we want to do World Fitness
• 44:40
  finals, we want to do the first inaugural, inaugural year.
• 44:43
  So I think that's really cool to be able to have them come and,
• 44:46
  and compete in person to Monster.
• 44:48
  So we'll we'll see how it goes this year.
• 44:50
  Yeah, cuz World Fitness project is getting away from the duos
• 44:53
  right And going into individuals.
• 44:55
  So how many people will qualify from Monster?
• 44:59
  20 from Monster. Sorry, just the winner.
• 45:01
  Yeah, yeah, I, we just, you know, it's only taking 10.
• 45:06
  We've got to make sure we're getting the right field and and
• 45:08
  one is plenty of monster games. Our winner will be will be good.
• 45:13
  So any more than that, I think we're running the risk of, of
• 45:16
  watering down the field a little bit.
• 45:17
  No, no offense to my own competition, but that's just
• 45:19
  what it is. It gets tough when you have a
• 45:23
  more local pool. Yeah, it's it's harder to get
• 45:26
  like a a stacked field. Yeah, yeah.
• 45:30
  So you've been running this for This is the 9th year.
• 45:33
  Yeah, you're nine. Yeah, we started in our gym.
• 45:35
  We were teams of four actually when we launched and then kicked
• 45:39
  it off to. We created an individual
• 45:41
  division the following year and moved to Missouri Southern State
• 45:44
  University, got onto a college campus and that helped us grow.
• 45:47
  And then after that we signed first form as a sponsor, which
• 45:50
  was a a big deal that obviously helped us do some different
• 45:53
  things. So yeah, we've been, yeah,
• 45:56
  you're 96 years of qualifiers, first force with us for five and
• 46:00
  Jacob Hefner's been with us for 8.
• 46:02
  So he's helps this program and been really been a big part of
• 46:06
  helping me grow the competition as well so.
• 46:09
  Nothing feels as like if you want to peak feeling
• 46:13
  competition, be on a college campus.
• 46:15
  I don't know why that's a thing, but every time I go to a
• 46:19
  competition on a college campuses, like even when we were
• 46:22
  in Saint Cloud for the Granite Games way back.
• 46:24
  When it. Was so cool.
• 46:26
  It was so cool. That was my first probably,
• 46:30
  yeah, Premier, I guess, competition as a masters that I
• 46:33
  qualified for because they only took 10 and I qualified for for
• 46:36
  that in 2018. And and yeah, you're, you're
• 46:38
  right. And we got to do work on the
• 46:39
  football field, worked out on the ice hockey arena.
• 46:43
  It was great. I played baseball at Missouri
• 46:44
  Southern. So I had a relationship with
• 46:46
  them and I just reached out. I did not expect them to say
• 46:48
  yes. And I just said, hey, we're
• 46:50
  doing this competition. I'd really like it to grow.
• 46:53
  What would it look like to host it on the college campus?
• 46:55
  And we did. And it was, it was great.
• 46:57
  Of course, you know, then the next year COVID hit, but another
• 47:01
  conversation. But oddly enough, that kind of
• 47:05
  helped. Also, we kind of put our name on
• 47:07
  the map a little bit because we were one of the only events in
• 47:09
  the world that was going on during COVID because we got
• 47:12
  kicked off of the campus and a local pastor with who's a friend
• 47:17
  of mine reached out and said, hey, I had exhausted all my
• 47:19
  resources. We found out like 5 weeks before
• 47:22
  Monster Games in 2020 that we were not going to have it
• 47:25
  hosted. I had already sold out.
• 47:27
  I already collected all the money, all of those things that
• 47:29
  as an event director you're or an owner of a competition that,
• 47:32
  you know, scares you to death. What are you going to do if you
• 47:35
  have to bail? It was a big deal.
• 47:38
  You know, my wife and I had some pretty hard conversations about,
• 47:41
  you know, refunding money and what that's going to look like.
• 47:44
  We'd already spent a bunch of money getting ready for it.
• 47:45
  So I had a local pastor, a friend of mine reach out and
• 47:48
  said, hey, bring the event to the church.
• 47:51
  There's no way. And that's kind of how we, he's
• 47:54
  like just back it up a day and get done by Saturday night and
• 47:57
  we'll make it work. So we did that for two years at
• 48:01
  Hope City Church in Joplin, brand new church.
• 48:03
  They just built it. And we, we started on Thursday
• 48:07
  and ended on Saturday and they would flip the church overnight
• 48:09
  and have it ready for service the next morning.
• 48:11
  So that was that was unique. I had my phone as soon as we
• 48:15
  announced we were still hosting in 2020, my phone went crazy
• 48:19
  with people trying to get in to compete because there's just no
• 48:21
  competitions. The people that called me asked
• 48:24
  to compete would would surprise everybody.
• 48:26
  It was pretty cool. So that that that was that
• 48:30
  helped too, that helped us on the map and just continue to try
• 48:32
  to push forward from there. I remember when I heard about
• 48:35
  the Monster games, I was actually at the heart of America
• 48:38
  and. Which I now own.
• 48:40
  Yeah. And everybody was like, I was
• 48:42
  like, this is a really cool competition.
• 48:44
  They were like, you should go to Monster Games.
• 48:45
  It's like way bigger way like way more cool.
• 48:47
  And I was so that's why. And then I looked up all like
• 48:50
  the reels and stuff that you guys had back then or just
• 48:52
  probably posts. But I was like, man, maybe I
• 48:55
  should have done Monster Games. It's the the Waterpalooza of the
• 48:59
  Midwest, is what they call. It is that what they call it?
• 49:01
  Yeah, Well, that's interesting. I've never heard that, but I
• 49:04
  like, hey, John, did you just make that up?
• 49:07
  I feel like you. Did No.
• 49:08
  No. That's that's what that's what
• 49:09
  I've heard it's. A trade not.
• 49:11
  Now, whether I hear it in my head or from people.
• 49:13
  'S and other things. You know what I'm gonna, I'm
• 49:15
  gonna say I've heard it now too. I'm gonna go with that.
• 49:17
  I like it. Yeah, I don't know if I need to
• 49:19
  call Dylan and ask him if I can say that or.
• 49:21
  Not, don't you? Just just rock with it.
• 49:24
  But. Definitely put it in print.
• 49:25
  Maybe post? And stuff that'll be.
• 49:27
  Fine, the tier, the tier water palooza of the Midwest.
• 49:31
  Maybe, maybe you, maybe you'll have to say that, but.
• 49:35
  I do, yeah. So Tier's actually a fairly big
• 49:38
  sponsor of ours. They're giving us shoes for all
• 49:41
  of our elite and RX individuals this year.
• 49:44
  So they they've always been a a pretty good sponsor of ours.
• 49:46
  So maybe I can get away with it. I'll try.
• 49:48
  Yeah, you can still use the logo.
• 49:49
  That's cool. Yeah, of course.
• 49:52
  Yeah, just like Miami, I'm sure the weather is about the same
• 49:55
  too. Actually, the weather in July is
• 49:59
  similar to Miami. It's humid and hot, so yeah,
• 50:03
  yeah, yeah about the views. Though, and honestly, it's
• 50:05
  probably hotter than than Florida.
• 50:08
  It was last summer. I anybody that was there that
• 50:11
  did that event on the baseball field last year, well, I
• 50:14
  guarantee they're going to tell you it's hotter.
• 50:17
  So running a competition's always tough and you have that.
• 50:21
  You just said you have HOA now you're also the the the director
• 50:28
  of sport or whatever competition.
• 50:31
  For world fitness projects, I'm definitely not the director of
• 50:34
  sport. Yeah, same thing.
• 50:36
  Don't tell Will. What?
• 50:40
  Spain is trying to say is. Hold on, hold on.
• 50:42
  You're not. You're not the mouthpiece of
• 50:43
  sport. But.
• 50:45
  You're the director. I'm not not piece of sport, but
• 50:48
  I do like what? Exactly do you do here?
• 50:51
  What do I do? He makes the competition, man.
• 50:54
  He takes the. Lines down.
• 50:55
  Yeah, I'm actually the global event director is what I am.
• 50:58
  There you go. He's he's OK.
• 51:00
  And Jason, correct me, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought
• 51:03
  that you were like the Wilson. Well, what do you mean by the
• 51:08
  Wilson? Wilson like.
• 51:10
  I've ordered. Everything though Wilson.
• 51:12
  Yeah, I know Wilson. I didn't.
• 51:13
  I've never heard him too referred to as that, but like
• 51:16
  you. You make the competition.
• 51:19
  Happen. Like as far as like the lines
• 51:21
  drawn and it's going to flow like this and like you don't do
• 51:25
  the programming but or you get the venue and you just you set
• 51:29
  everything up. I, I I.
• 51:31
  He directs, as it were. Yeah, directs the yeah, I'm a
• 51:35
  piece of that puzzle for sure. I'm definitely not the only one
• 51:37
  that does that. But yes, that is a part of what
• 51:39
  I do. Was there any doubt from your
• 51:42
  mind of adding that layer of complexity and another job on
• 51:47
  top of what you're already doing?
• 51:49
  Well, I know I was working for the Masters CrossFit Games
• 51:52
  actually at the time. So it wasn't an easy decision.
• 51:56
  Everybody, I think some people probably that didn't know who I
• 52:00
  was, didn't understand that that didn't come easy for me When
• 52:04
  they called the ask. In fact, I turned the job down
• 52:06
  at first just kind of, we agreed to keep the door open and just
• 52:09
  say, Hey, let's just kind of not close the door on it.
• 52:12
  Then I just, it just didn't the first go at it didn't seem like
• 52:16
  the right fit. And then through some
• 52:19
  conversation with my wife, of course, and what we were trying
• 52:21
  to accomplish, we, we just decided that, you know, hey, if
• 52:28
  they reach back out, you know, these are the things that we
• 52:30
  would want to know. And they wound up reaching back
• 52:32
  out. And so we had a decision make.
• 52:34
  That was it, Legends in 2020 for getting ready to put Legends on
• 52:39
  in 2024 with Joe and Bob, who are good friends of mine and
• 52:41
  they've been nothing but great to me and gave me a good
• 52:44
  opportunity to work with him. And so I had to, I had to put
• 52:47
  that event on and then turn in my resignation.
• 52:49
  And you know, it wasn't easy. I was a master's athlete who
• 52:53
  competed that, you know, really looked forward to what CrossFit
• 52:57
  was. I owned 4 gyms myself.
• 52:59
  I was an affiliate owner. It was in my blood too.
• 53:02
  So that wasn't an easy decision for you to make.
• 53:04
  So when, when I, when I left it, I was adding it was, it wasn't a
• 53:09
  layer, it was just a different, it was a different part of what
• 53:12
  I was doing and it was just bigger.
• 53:14
  So I I guess that's the best way to answer it.
• 53:16
  Yeah. And now this year you're going
• 53:18
  to, I mean, last year you're, you know, you stayed in
• 53:21
  Indianapolis, then you got to focus on monster games.
• 53:24
  Now you added complexity of going down to Mexico City.
• 53:27
  Yeah, I just got back from there actually.
• 53:30
  So you, I mean, that's a lot of travel.
• 53:32
  Do you, how often do you go down there and check out the venue
• 53:35
  and do those types of things? Well, typically we're there.
• 53:39
  Typically I'm there three times prior to the event.
• 53:43
  It is typically what happens now.
• 53:44
  Sometimes that's more, sometimes it's last depend.
• 53:46
  I was at Grand, I was at Grand Park, which is Indianapolis more
• 53:50
  than three times. But it's because it was closer
• 53:52
  and there's a couple of trips that I was able to make fit.
• 53:54
  And it was also our first event and I was scared to death I was
• 53:58
  going to fail. So I was like, I think I need to
• 54:00
  go to Indianapolis. So I, I just kind of went there
• 54:03
  probably more than I needed to. But with it being the first
• 54:06
  event, it's OK. I'll, I'll, I'll air on that
• 54:08
  side all the time. Yeah, the online qualifiers,
• 54:15
  Yeah, come workouts come out tomorrow.
• 54:17
  How many workouts and what do they have to do to get through
• 54:21
  that in the timeline again, just to repeat for.
• 54:23
  Everybody, they all, we released everything at one time.
• 54:25
  So there's five workouts and there's 6 scores.
• 54:26
  We have a two-part workout, which I think we're gonna talk
• 54:28
  about tonight. We're releasing really I think,
• 54:31
  Sorry if I broke that, I think. We like leaks around here.
• 54:37
  I think yeah, you guys love leaks.
• 54:39
  Though can I text you the pictures man?
• 54:42
  Oh, posted it on our story already.
• 54:44
  So he's the workout. Come on.
• 54:46
  No, no, no, no, not the workout, not the workout, not we were
• 54:49
  going to talk about it, that's all.
• 54:51
  Oh, do you not? Do we not want to show it?
• 54:53
  Yeah, show the workout, that's why.
• 54:55
  Yeah, that's why we're here. I agreed that TAC had actually
• 54:58
  said, hey, do you want to leak 1 tonight?
• 55:00
  And I was like, well, we already leaked the Max lift and so it's
• 55:03
  a part of that, so let's do it. OK, I this is this is this is
• 55:07
  completely final leak I admit. To only half leak, and it's not
• 55:10
  a leak if I do it right. No, no, no.
• 55:12
  It's a leak, OK. That sounds better.
• 55:14
  That's that's what I said. I thought it was more like a
• 55:16
  dripped faucet. Yeah.
• 55:19
  John, are you sending it? I'm John.
• 55:21
  Well, while he's sending it, we all of the workouts, we release
• 55:23
  them all at once. We we do have a ton of athletes
• 55:26
  that compete at TFX. And so that was just something
• 55:30
  that I wanted to make sure that the Jeremy's comp is great.
• 55:34
  There's just such a big competition and down in Taylor,
• 55:38
  TX, I wanted to make sure that we're not eliminating somebody
• 55:40
  that wants to do it so everything comes out at once.
• 55:43
  You've got 20 days to do all 5 workouts.
• 55:46
  The masters and the RX are the only ones that have to video.
• 55:50
  Everybody else does not have to video but those.
• 55:51
  But every individual masters and obviously individual RX and
• 55:56
  Elite have to have to video the workouts.
• 55:57
  So they've definitely. Signing up for intermediate
• 55:59
  then? 20.
• 56:00
  Days, yeah. Yeah.
• 56:03
  We have some really really good intermediate.
• 56:06
  Scores. Yeah, Leslie.
• 56:09
  Leslie goes, hey, there's good news and bad news.
• 56:12
  And I was like, let me hear it. And I have no idea what she's
• 56:14
  talking about. I think I'm in trouble.
• 56:16
  Slash not in trouble. She's cheating.
• 56:19
  And then she goes, there is a possibility that there will be
• 56:22
  cheating in the qualifier. And I go, OK.
• 56:28
  And then she goes, but the good news is I can do it.
• 56:31
  I don't, I don't have to take the video, a video and I don't
• 56:33
  have to set up the lines and do anything like that.
• 56:35
  And I was like, that's great. You can just do it.
• 56:37
  You're in the garage like. Yeah, I mean, look, I have.
• 56:40
  If you lose count, it's OK. We have wiped scores before that
• 56:44
  came across that I I am not. We will look for outliers of
• 56:48
  scores and non videoed workouts and we have wiped scores out
• 56:53
  before and people have gotten the invitation to monster games
• 56:58
  for future I mean. That's that means if you have
• 57:00
  one outlier and all of them outliers.
• 57:03
  Well, it's pretty easy to look somebody up and see if they can
• 57:06
  do what they just did. That one guy that's like you're
• 57:09
  trying to guesstimate what you got on you should get on the
• 57:12
  workout and you're like you just get 3 minutes under everybody
• 57:15
  else and it's. Like, come on.
• 57:17
  I just overestimated myself a little.
• 57:20
  Bit and they kind of have to do that because we use a blind
• 57:22
  leaderboard. So they don't really know what
• 57:25
  they're what they're trying to beat.
• 57:27
  And so you can, you can. It's it.
• 57:29
  Actually, you should look at the leaderboard because it stands
• 57:32
  out more than you would think it would.
• 57:34
  Right. It's like the best example of
• 57:36
  that. I think it was the 2014 or 15
• 57:39
  open. Kim Jong Un posted a score that
• 57:41
  was like way better than everybody else that was wiped
• 57:45
  within like an hour. It.
• 57:47
  Was there was a guy, there was a guy that the, I don't know, like
• 57:51
  Jeff by two minutes and like said he was second place and he
• 57:54
  beat Jeff Adler by two minutes and he or two rounds or
• 57:58
  something and he goes, I didn't mean to put A1 next to it.
• 58:02
  I only did 2 rounds. I didn't do 12 rounds.
• 58:05
  And listen. Accidentally logged 12.
• 58:08
  That can happen to anybody. And Hitler was on him and he
• 58:11
  goes, I'm so sorry. And like he had all this
• 58:14
  backlash and he goes, I really didn't mean to do it.
• 58:17
  I like. I'll take.
• 58:18
  It I feel bad for those people that make legitimate mistakes
• 58:21
  like that, we should leave them alone.
• 58:23
  But there are plenty out there that we can say, look, man.
• 58:27
  And then there's also a piece of me that wants him to qualify and
• 58:29
  show up so they embarrass themselves.
• 58:31
  There's so there's. I had a balance of that too.
• 58:33
  That was the old regional days. There's always one or two guys
• 58:36
  that would show. Up it's the now semi final days.
• 58:40
  Yeah, I think Kale Layman's name will ring for eternity in the
• 58:43
  CrossFit. Oh, 100%.
• 58:45
  Yeah, who was the there's like Castellano or something like
• 58:48
  that? Castellanos was in the Central
• 58:51
  Regional and he got and he was like second as far as the
• 58:54
  overall thing. I actually think he beat Hefner.
• 58:56
  He's like 40-15 and then he was like 30, eighth out of 40 guys.
• 59:01
  And, and and he look, he's like this big Viking looking dude,
• 59:05
  like he, he like, he don't look. Natural.
• 59:10
  Yeah, Yeah. Well, he just not fit.
• 59:12
  He just doesn't look like he would be fit.
• 59:13
  And like the first event was a hang snatch.
• 59:16
  Obviously he did fine there, right?
• 59:19
  And then the second event was 300 foot handstand walking and
• 59:21
  he got like last place and then every event from there on last
• 59:26
  place. He was hurt after that, for
• 59:28
  sure. All right, let's let's bring it
• 59:31
  up. Let's see workout number two of
• 59:34
  the Monster games for the online qualifier.
• 59:38
  Here we go. The huge reveal.
• 59:42
  Huge. Reveal event 2A2B worth the
• 59:46
  risk. Four time on a 16 minute running
• 59:48
  clock, 2 rounds, 50 toes to bar, 50 line facing burpees directly
• 59:55
  into a three reps Max load. Snatch can be done in a single.
• 1:00:01
  We get to hit three in a row. And they have to be the same
• 1:00:04
  load. It's not just your three like
• 1:00:07
  heavy. You can't just build to a heavy.
• 1:00:09
  So like you get to 225, you get 3 ups to 225, you're good.
• 1:00:12
  You got time for 245, you get 3 ups to 2:45, You're good.
• 1:00:17
  Correct. Yep.
• 1:00:18
  How do you define consecutive? It to the end of the clock you
• 1:00:22
  have until the 16 minute clock. Oh, so it's just like, just put
• 1:00:26
  weight on the bar. If you hit all three, you're
• 1:00:27
  good. This reminds me of the three.
• 1:00:29
  This reminds me of the Madrid Championship the year before it
• 1:00:35
  went away. They had had that and then
• 1:00:37
  Chandler messed up and missed one of his like he missed his
• 1:00:40
  third Rep and like ruined his whole team from winning the
• 1:00:43
  competition well. That's the goal, right, is to
• 1:00:45
  like make people take a risk because what's the risk if you
• 1:00:50
  really screw up? You have to do 100 toasts, about
• 1:00:52
  100 line facing brokies again. So that's the whole intent.
• 1:00:56
  Right. Yeah, or be conservative and
• 1:00:59
  then you take a risk. That's how I kind of look at it.
• 1:01:03
  Yeah, that's what I would do on this workout is I would probably
• 1:01:09
  do what I can on the first part of of that as fast as I can.
• 1:01:13
  Yeah, change my shoes, get my belt out and then I would work
• 1:01:16
  up to my heavy for the day and just hit it, Give my try to give
• 1:01:20
  myself 2 minutes to hit my heavy for the day.
• 1:01:24
  And that that's how I would personally do it versus trying
• 1:01:29
  to just go get a score and then maybe redo it.
• 1:01:31
  I would go ahead and work up to my heavy for the day, try to
• 1:01:35
  give myself 2 minutes to hit that three times.
• 1:01:37
  That's what I would do. But.
• 1:01:39
  John, how fast were you finishing the two rounds?
• 1:01:42
  Well, if I don't have to take a video, I'm gonna say sub 8.
• 1:01:45
  And then if I hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
• 1:01:47
  Hold on, hold on, hold on. I figure, I figure Hefner's
• 1:01:50
  probably a shade over 8. I, I, you know, he's, he's
• 1:01:53
  pretty good, so. I've already talked to Tacoda.
• 1:01:55
  I'll, I'll, I'll. Say.
• 1:01:57
  A shade under eight. Act like you can guess his time.
• 1:02:01
  That that. I it's, it's it's, I don't know,
• 1:02:03
  it's probably like 8O48-O3 something like that.
• 1:02:06
  But the it's a good. Guess, good guess.
• 1:02:10
  That second round of toast bar I think will be filthy on the I
• 1:02:15
  think they'll get to the second round toast bar pretty ARN good.
• 1:02:18
  And then after that, it's going to be a round.
• 1:02:21
  Who wants it? So I would say 3 minutes for the
• 1:02:24
  burpees, probably 3 minutes for the first toda bar, probably
• 1:02:35
  like 10/10/15 10:30. Yeah, I think all of our elites
• 1:02:40
  will be in the 8 to 10 minute range and then it'll kind of
• 1:02:43
  scale Now we when we go to intermediate and stuff like
• 1:02:45
  that, like the Rep scheme is different.
• 1:02:46
  But as far as our elite and our ex athletes, I feel like 8 to 10
• 1:02:51
  minutes is going to be our where the chunk of the people that are
• 1:02:54
  going to qualify fall. Hefner was eight O 3.
• 1:02:57
  I know you talked to tap it so. Good.
• 1:02:59
  Best. Though.
• 1:03:00
  And I would say Hefner, like I, I'm with him a lot.
• 1:03:05
  Like he's still really, really fit.
• 1:03:06
  So that's a good time. I like how Hebner tries to say
• 1:03:09
  he's not fit because all he does is shoot guns and yet his times
• 1:03:13
  are still. Aerobically, he's probably
• 1:03:14
  fitter A. 100% he's fitter. Yeah, he'll.
• 1:03:19
  Still post the dumbest workouts. You not dumb as in like they're
• 1:03:23
  stupid. Just like I cannot do that.
• 1:03:25
  That's not physically possible for humans to do.
• 1:03:27
  And he's like, Nah, I did 20 rounds.
• 1:03:30
  Yeah, he he's still very freakishly fit.
• 1:03:34
  Yeah, I think he, he posted, he did it like we did an open
• 1:03:36
  workout from like I think it was like 2018 or something and he
• 1:03:40
  was only like 30 seconds slower or 25 seconds slower.
• 1:03:44
  It's like I felt like I was going so slow.
• 1:03:45
  I'm like. Yeah, you were.
• 1:03:47
  Like, think about how much he was training back then.
• 1:03:50
  Right to now he's doing tactical games and he's still right there
• 1:03:55
  where he was. Like that's crazy.
• 1:03:58
  Yeah, I will say that second part though, I think I'm kind of
• 1:04:01
  just going to do 185, two, 25245.
• 1:04:06
  No, I think I would do 265 for the three and then I literally
• 1:04:10
  would have 40 seconds to try to do 285 for three reps.
• 1:04:14
  Did you get for that after 10 minutes?
• 1:04:16
  You'd get there that fast. 3 lifts, yeah 'cause like 10, go
• 1:04:21
  ahead. So would you run?
• 1:04:22
  Would you? What is your what's your one Rep
• 1:04:25
  like in in the gym? One Rep Max. 3:15.
• 1:04:31
  So you would go, you really, do you think it would take that
• 1:04:33
  much away from you where you wouldn't feel comfortable
• 1:04:35
  hitting 285 for three? For you think he doesn't have
• 1:04:38
  enough time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:04:41
  I think I think a fit of. Bypassing the 265 is what I
• 1:04:44
  mean. Yeah, I I wouldn't want to risk
• 1:04:46
  it because again, you have to hit 3 reps, right?
• 1:04:49
  And I know that 265 score is already going to be a good
• 1:04:52
  score. No, I'm probably not going to
• 1:04:53
  win. It's well, that's then No, no,
• 1:04:55
  you're you're right. No, you're right about that.
• 1:04:57
  Trying to qualify elite, Yeah, you're right. 265 is going to be
• 1:05:00
  a great score. You're right.
• 1:05:02
  But I mean, so the difference, the difference, the difference
• 1:05:05
  between 265 and 285 is potential winning or top three versus a
• 1:05:13
  top 10 on 260, you know what I'm saying?
• 1:05:15
  So I would want to have a safety net and I feel good about it.
• 1:05:20
  And then we'll risk it for the biscuit at the end.
• 1:05:22
  And I, I probably won't have it. And if I do, it'd be awesome.
• 1:05:24
  But I I'll get hurt by the workout more than somebody
• 1:05:31
  fitter, right? Because one, they'll have more
• 1:05:33
  time too. They'll just recover faster.
• 1:05:35
  Yeah. I'd be worried about you drawing
• 1:05:37
  finishing in 1030 and then having to rest for two minutes.
• 1:05:41
  No, I I would do 135 then 185 and so I'll be fine by the time,
• 1:05:45
  by the time it hits 12 minutes, I'll be fine.
• 1:05:46
  You're talking about singles, right?
• 1:05:48
  This is not a hard lungs. Yeah, singles, this is not, this
• 1:05:52
  is not a hard recovery workout. It's all lungs.
• 1:05:56
  Like I think in 60 seconds you'll your muscles will be
• 1:05:59
  fine. I want to.
• 1:06:00
  I mean, there's AI think. I do.
• 1:06:02
  Think there's a little core aspect to it.
• 1:06:04
  Do you not like feel like? Sure.
• 1:06:05
  No, absolutely. But just as far as like lifting
• 1:06:08
  goes, if you're good at the lift, I don't think it takes a
• 1:06:11
  ton where where where you have to wait 2 minutes to recover is
• 1:06:15
  what I'm saying. I don't.
• 1:06:16
  I don't think you'd have to do that.
• 1:06:18
  Yeah, no, if it's bigger. I want to see John do this now.
• 1:06:22
  You too. I'm actually not very strong
• 1:06:25
  right now. I'm going to tell you right now.
• 1:06:27
  You're still going to snatch the.
• 1:06:29
  I'm. 80 more pounds. Than I am.
• 1:06:31
  I'm decently fit but I'm not very strong right now I'm almost
• 1:06:34
  under £200. I'm really close.
• 1:06:37
  It's going to be a victorious day when it happens.
• 1:06:40
  Man. But I'm on the I'm on the
• 1:06:42
  Holocaust diet though, so like I'm facing to do it so.
• 1:06:49
  Well put that one. There goes this.
• 1:06:51
  Yo. So there you go, you got the
• 1:06:55
  first two-part A and Part B. If we went to four more workouts
• 1:06:59
  come out. What time tomorrow?
• 1:07:01
  8:00 AM Central time there. You go and for people who don't
• 1:07:04
  know, like I think I think Jason is one of the best people as far
• 1:07:09
  as putting on a competition. And then we talked about this in
• 1:07:11
  the World Fitness project too. I know spin is deathly against
• 1:07:15
  the World Fitness project, but you can't deny that the
• 1:07:18
  competition is very well put on Monster games.
• 1:07:22
  I've, I've only heard good things about Monster Games.
• 1:07:25
  I think like I I would put Wilson and Jason in a tier of
• 1:07:29
  their own as far as putting on a competition.
• 1:07:31
  I'm probably still going to give Wilson the nod because Wilson's
• 1:07:33
  the GOAT. But yeah, we're doing the live
• 1:07:35
  broadcast. Right.
• 1:07:36
  But Jason? You've never been invited in my
• 1:07:38
  competition. And yeah, it's fair.
• 1:07:40
  I've never done the maybe I go to Monster games and it's like,
• 1:07:43
  oh gosh, Wilson needs to step it up, right?
• 1:07:45
  Like I don't, I don't. He really does.
• 1:07:47
  I don't, I don't know, but but I would put Jason in that Tier 2
• 1:07:52
  and then I don't think there's anybody else.
• 1:07:54
  I appreciate that. Thank you for saying that.
• 1:07:55
  It means a lot. I I take it very serious.
• 1:07:57
  So. It shouldn't mean a lot.
• 1:07:59
  John said it. Yeah.
• 1:08:00
  Well, it means as much as it could mean coming from John.
• 1:08:03
  Yeah, that's fair. It's.
• 1:08:06
  Their genuine thoughts. No, I I've had good look you and
• 1:08:09
  I have had some good conversations on the phone and
• 1:08:11
  it it means a lot to me. So I, I, I again, like I said, I
• 1:08:15
  didn't take this job with World fitness project lightly because
• 1:08:19
  of Monster games like I am every day I wake up, I'm afraid that
• 1:08:24
  I'm slipping backwards, right. And so I live in that.
• 1:08:26
  I live with that with every event that I do like, it can't
• 1:08:29
  be even as good as it was last year.
• 1:08:31
  It has to be better. So I, that's just how I wake up
• 1:08:33
  every day, making sure that my monster games athletes are not
• 1:08:36
  getting slighted. Because if that day comes and
• 1:08:40
  someone says, you know, I feel like Monster Games wasn't as
• 1:08:43
  good because you're too busy, like that's going to really
• 1:08:45
  bother me. Oh yeah, that would be like
• 1:08:49
  that. Would that would hurt scale like
• 1:08:54
  that? Would that would rock if it's
• 1:08:56
  like it's because it's his baby? That's the one.
• 1:08:58
  That's what I mean, Yeah. And that's exactly right.
• 1:09:00
  And and that's why it wasn't just so easy, like, Oh yeah, go
• 1:09:05
  take this job, it'd be great. And travel the world, like
• 1:09:07
  traveling the world is awesome, but it's also it's also but.
• 1:09:11
  Have you been to Joplin? But have you been the job?
• 1:09:14
  And that's actually a really good point.
• 1:09:17
  And if you have, then you'll understand why it took the World
• 1:09:20
  Fitness Project. How on a scale of 1 to 10?
• 1:09:26
  Now all the serious stuff is over?
• 1:09:28
  How worried were you that we were going to ambush you about
• 1:09:30
  WFP stuff? Look, anybody that's ever talked
• 1:09:34
  to very long knows that I don't care.
• 1:09:35
  I will say that conversation we had in Indianapolis, like
• 1:09:40
  coolest fucking conversation I've ever had with any
• 1:09:43
  representative WFP. You alone bought more faith from
• 1:09:48
  me in the whole situation than any exchange I've ever had.
• 1:09:52
  I of all like of all the bad shit that we've said about WFP
• 1:09:57
  and all the feelings like you were a stand up dude that day
• 1:10:03
  and I appreciate that. But for the.
• 1:10:05
  Record. I think you're a stand up dude
• 1:10:06
  every day, not just that day. Not just that day.
• 1:10:10
  What? What do you see for the the next
• 1:10:13
  two years? The next how many?
• 1:10:16
  For the World Fitness Project. Or the next year.
• 1:10:18
  Because like, there are a decent amount of athletes who skipped
• 1:10:25
  out, right? So I what do you see?
• 1:10:29
  What do you see happening? We don't, I don't know.
• 1:10:31
  I don't even think we have an opinion on it because we don't
• 1:10:32
  know, right? What do you see for the next two
• 1:10:35
  years? Oh, the next two years is easy.
• 1:10:37
  I've already got 2027 planned, so that's easy.
• 1:10:39
  So you, John. Yeah, but you had 2026 planned,
• 1:10:43
  You had 2026 planned in July and had to make changes, so.
• 1:10:46
  That's that's true, but there's there's the reason why we're not
• 1:10:49
  going to change the things for 2027 that you guys are going to
• 1:10:51
  find out later so. Well, leak it here.
• 1:10:53
  It's, it's fine, Yeah. I'll, I'll just not today
• 1:10:57
  anyway. So no, I seriously, yeah, the
• 1:11:02
  next two or three years for me, I see growth.
• 1:11:03
  I see World Fitness project taking another step forward.
• 1:11:07
  I'm doing everything in my power to make sure that messaging gets
• 1:11:11
  out and we put on a good show. I mean, at the end of the day,
• 1:11:14
  we have to put on a good show. We have to be entertainment.
• 1:11:16
  We have to take care of the athletes.
• 1:11:19
  It's different. It's not it's not the same as
• 1:11:22
  everything else. And so we, you know, we're not
• 1:11:24
  going to be viewed the same way and that that's OK.
• 1:11:25
  Not everybody is going to not everybody did the season this
• 1:11:28
  year is going to 100% do the season next year.
• 1:11:30
  And we have to be OK with that too.
• 1:11:32
  But there's enough of them doing it that are excited about it.
• 1:11:35
  I think we're going to turn over some new talent that's kind of
• 1:11:38
  comes out of world fitness project.
• 1:11:40
  That would be the most exciting thing for me.
• 1:11:43
  I don't care if they go over and do great at the CrossFit game
• 1:11:46
  season. If we develop that talent, I
• 1:11:47
  think that's awesome. Go compete wherever you want to
• 1:11:50
  compete. But I do think we are going to
• 1:11:52
  turn over some talent, I really do.
• 1:11:54
  We're very popular as far as the athletes go in Europe, mainly
• 1:11:58
  because that's where the finals is and they haven't had that
• 1:12:00
  before. It's a unique experience.
• 1:12:02
  It's an advantage to them to compete at the championship in
• 1:12:05
  Europe. It's an advantage to not have to
• 1:12:06
  travel. So I think all of that stuff is
• 1:12:09
  unique. I, I do see us taking a step
• 1:12:11
  forward and all I can tell you is from, from my chair.
• 1:12:15
  We're going to continue to try to make it a little bit better.
• 1:12:19
  And I'd love to come on and talk to you guys more about it when
• 1:12:22
  it's when we don't have to talk about monster games and we can
• 1:12:24
  just talk about world fitness project.
• 1:12:25
  I, John and Tyler Bill. I'm pretty open book sometimes
• 1:12:29
  to my detriment, but I mean, I'm just honest with it about it.
• 1:12:32
  I'm not trying to hide who I am and what I'm trying to
• 1:12:36
  accomplish because I do wake up every day afraid I'm going to
• 1:12:39
  fail. And that's what motivates me.
• 1:12:41
  I don't, I don't do it for money.
• 1:12:43
  I don't know. No one.
• 1:12:44
  I mean, generally speaking, not very many people know.
• 1:12:46
  I think I have 2000 followers on Instagram, right?
• 1:12:48
  Like. Huge.
• 1:12:50
  She's huge. So I don't really do it for
• 1:12:53
  that. I, I, I do it because it I owned
• 1:12:56
  4 gyms for eight years. Fitness was big to me.
• 1:13:00
  I've been in the secular space before where I was a sales
• 1:13:05
  manager, director of sales and marketing for a company for 18
• 1:13:07
  years and I hated my job even though we had a great life.
• 1:13:11
  I came home one day and told my wife, I can't do this anymore.
• 1:13:14
  I'm helping nobody. My kids don't know who I am.
• 1:13:17
  I'm gone all the time. I had little, I had little
• 1:13:20
  girls. And you know, John, you can
• 1:13:22
  imagine coming home and that having that moment that like,
• 1:13:26
  what am I doing? Why?
• 1:13:27
  Why am I going from the moment I?
• 1:13:28
  Don't. I don't know what that's like.
• 1:13:32
  So being able to come home and do that and have to support me
• 1:13:35
  and say, well, what do you want to do?
• 1:13:36
  And I was like, I have to do something in the fitness space.
• 1:13:39
  I start, I start CrossFit in 2012 and it being a part of that
• 1:13:44
  community and having those people teach me how to be a
• 1:13:51
  different person and not put on my headphones and go train, that
• 1:13:53
  meant so much to me. And it changed who I am as a
• 1:13:55
  person. And so over the last 1514, how
• 1:14:00
  long has it been? It's been 14 years over the last
• 1:14:01
  14 years. No, it's yeah, 14 years, 16
• 1:14:04
  years, 16 years. It's, it's changed who I am as a
• 1:14:07
  person. And I wouldn't be here if it
• 1:14:08
  wasn't for that. So I give all of the credit to
• 1:14:11
  for what that meant to me. And so that process hasn't
• 1:14:16
  changed me. So every day when I wake up, I'm
• 1:14:19
  afraid that I'm going to lose that.
• 1:14:22
  And I think I'll just always be motivated that way.
• 1:14:26
  Yeah, that makes sense, Jason. Thank.
• 1:14:29
  You for the monster games. Monster game.
• 1:14:30
  First four monster games. Not too late, you guys can sign
• 1:14:33
  up all the way until the end of it, but you're going to miss out
• 1:14:36
  on a lot of emails from me if you wait to sign up late.
• 1:14:39
  So sign up early, get the workouts.
• 1:14:42
  Anyway, I appreciate you guys have me on this.
• 1:14:44
  Is great. Hey thanks dude.
• 1:14:45
  For real, it's good seeing you again.
• 1:14:46
  Thanks guys. Good luck with Mexico City and.
• 1:14:49
  Appreciate that to you later all.
• 1:14:50
  Right. Bye everyone.
• 1:14:52
  See you guys all right, picture of this.
• 1:14:56
  Let's let's boot Jason out of here, get out of here and he's
• 1:15:00
  gone. There we go there we go.
• 1:15:04
  That's cool. We get the leak at workout.
• 1:15:06
  That's fine. I think, I think you'd be, I
• 1:15:10
  think you're overestimating your ability, John, on those fifty
• 1:15:13
  and two on the 50 line facing burpees.
• 1:15:15
  Do you want to do the workout, Tyler?
• 1:15:17
  Yeah, I'll do it. We'll do it.
• 1:15:20
  You just want to do part A. We don't have to do Part B.
• 1:15:22
  No, we're doing. No, the Part B is what matters.
• 1:15:24
  I think you could do part BI. Think you could do part A easily
• 1:15:28
  if you didn't have Part B. Yeah.
• 1:15:30
  I think, I think you're. I think you're.
• 1:15:32
  Underestimating A when it comes to B.
• 1:15:37
  Oh, I mean, I feel like Jason thought I was overestimating it
• 1:15:40
  because he thinks I would do a lot more.
• 1:15:42
  I literally said I think I'm going to be 265, I think.
• 1:15:45
  He I think he's overestimating your ability on the part A.
• 1:15:49
  I don't know guys. If you finished in eight and a
• 1:15:51
  half, 9 minutes, 100%, you get to 285 I.
• 1:15:56
  Just I've snatched pushed, I've snatched 300 cold.
• 1:16:01
  Have you spent like 300? Exhausted.
• 1:16:04
  I mean, I think cold is worse than exhausted.
• 1:16:06
  I disagree very much. Can't wait to do it.
• 1:16:13
  And. It's not once, it's three times.
• 1:16:15
  That's the that's The thing is like.
• 1:16:16
  I do I'll If I could do it once, I could do it three times.
• 1:16:19
  How long would it take you to do 285?
• 1:16:21
  Three times. 30 seconds. God. 30 seconds.
• 1:16:28
  It's taken me 33 years, it still ain't it.
• 1:16:35
  But This is why it takes me 10 1/2 minutes to do the first.
• 1:16:39
  That's that's why. That's the beauty of CrossFit.
• 1:16:43
  That's fair, all right. I'll do it after the fitness
• 1:16:47
  experience. I got the fitness experience
• 1:16:48
  this week, but if you hate, I will do it.
• 1:16:51
  I'll do it Tuesday. I'll do it Tuesday, Tyler, and
• 1:16:54
  then we can talk about it next week.
• 1:16:55
  That makes me feel better because I haven't trained in a
• 1:16:57
  week so. You go with that.
• 1:16:59
  Yeah, I've been doing a lot of burpees.
• 1:17:04
  Me too. OK, you just see.
• 1:17:06
  You saw how good they were going in Hiller's workout.
• 1:17:11
  Yeah, those. Burpees are terrible.
• 1:17:14
  Yeah, that was the. I did that, but scaled and did
• 1:17:17
  not like it. All right, picture this.
• 1:17:21
  We'll move on to this week's version of Let Me Get That Out
• 1:17:26
  of here. Picture this brought to you by
• 1:17:30
  Mantasleep. Codespin saves you 10%
• 1:17:33
  mantasleep.com. Get the best sleep mask out
• 1:17:36
  there. Ever.
• 1:17:37
  Ever. For sure.
• 1:17:40
  All right, we've done. Oh, look at that.
• 1:17:43
  Nice. You got it.
• 1:17:43
  You got the sound system there too, Bluetooth sound system.
• 1:17:46
  'S the way to go. Abby Grace loves it.
• 1:17:50
  Where did she go? She used to be.
• 1:17:52
  Walking around the house with sleep bands.
• 1:17:59
  Going she. Got She got real quiet.
• 1:18:00
  I got scared for a minute. I was like, it's.
• 1:18:02
  Gone. So we did.
• 1:18:04
  We did athletes, we've done actors and actresses, littles,
• 1:18:09
  we're doing animals. Animals.
• 1:18:12
  Animals I. Thought you were going to say
• 1:18:14
  little people. So those of you who are not
• 1:18:16
  aware of the game, I'm going to flash a picture up there.
• 1:18:19
  John and Tyler are going to say which athlete it most reminds
• 1:18:24
  them of. And the criteria is who knows
• 1:18:32
  Tyler, Tyler's criteria. I think it's going to be
• 1:18:34
  different than John's. We've seen that in the last two
• 1:18:35
  weeks. Oh oh I this is fun.
• 1:18:38
  If I beat Tyler in part A, he has to do JY Barbell Fitness for
• 1:18:44
  a month. Can't, I'm doing Hillary
• 1:18:46
  Committed 6. Months.
• 1:18:47
  If and if I lose to you in Part B, I'll do Hillary Fit for a
• 1:18:50
  month. Keep you loose to me in part BI.
• 1:18:55
  Don't make the rules. Man, I just I.
• 1:19:00
  Feel just like the criteria of this segment of the show.
• 1:19:03
  Yeah. Connor bolts.
• 1:19:08
  Go ahead, picture this one. All right, first one.
• 1:19:11
  Animals. Animals.
• 1:19:13
  Picture this, the big elephant. Oh, the big Elephant Man.
• 1:19:19
  I want to say Jason, elephants got a personality.
• 1:19:23
  They're cool personality. They're smarter than you think.
• 1:19:28
  They're smarter than they look. That's way more athletic than
• 1:19:33
  they look. Yeah, I do you have anybody
• 1:19:36
  better? My my initial thought went to
• 1:19:38
  Jason. Travis.
• 1:19:41
  Williams. Williams.
• 1:19:44
  Yeah, but he's more of like a rhino or a hippo.
• 1:19:48
  Rhino's good. Yeah.
• 1:19:51
  I was trying to think like, like Kelsey Keel.
• 1:19:59
  Yeah, she's pregnant now. Yeah.
• 1:20:01
  Twins. Crazy.
• 1:20:06
  Yeah, that's a keel over, Jason. What about the struggle now,
• 1:20:10
  John? Who?
• 1:20:11
  The Sharks? I think, I think they'll find a
• 1:20:14
  way to be good. The Sharks like the Yankees,
• 1:20:16
  like they just can't buy whatever they want to buy.
• 1:20:21
  I'm trying to. I feel like that's not a perfect
• 1:20:24
  fit, though. I want to.
• 1:20:27
  Was there a big dude in the past?
• 1:20:29
  Like a guy that shouldn't have made it?
• 1:20:31
  Khalipa doesn't really feel like a Khalifa.
• 1:20:36
  Jason Smith. Because he's African.
• 1:20:43
  You know. Because he's African.
• 1:20:46
  That's it. Yeah.
• 1:20:47
  What about Brent? What about Brent?
• 1:20:50
  Because I wouldn't think you're smart.
• 1:20:51
  Man, Brent's more like a. He's not.
• 1:20:54
  Who was the big guy back in the day?
• 1:20:57
  Asia Barto. Asia Barto.
• 1:20:59
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:21:01
  Sam Dancer. Sam Dancer.
• 1:21:03
  There it is. Nailed that one.
• 1:21:06
  Got it. All right.
• 1:21:07
  Cool. Sam Dancer is an elephant.
• 1:21:10
  All right. Next.
• 1:21:10
  One boy, you see an elephant. That's great.
• 1:21:12
  The monkey. Monkey Anderson.
• 1:21:19
  No, Tyler, not Chandler. Why would you text that?
• 1:21:27
  Co Cody Anderson or Alex Smith. I OK, I, I really like Cody
• 1:21:32
  Anderson because monkeys are way stronger than way stronger than
• 1:21:37
  you think. And, and, you know, obviously
• 1:21:39
  they like to, you know, flip around on things.
• 1:21:42
  I think Cody Anderson's a perfect pick.
• 1:21:43
  I still remember that. What was that?
• 1:21:44
  The clean ladder in 2017. Dude.
• 1:21:48
  That was amazing. And they did a clean ladder in
• 1:21:52
  like 2014, I want to say. And he cleared that one and
• 1:21:57
  Chase did not remember that because he was saying that he
• 1:21:59
  was going to get murked on the last bar and then he didn't
• 1:22:02
  looks. Alone this is correct.
• 1:22:06
  He's talking about dude. It's kind of favors Mason a
• 1:22:10
  little. I don't think so.
• 1:22:13
  I think, I think Cody Anderson's the pick, man.
• 1:22:15
  I don't think you should. I think you nailed it on the
• 1:22:16
  first shot. Yeah.
• 1:22:18
  For sure, Cody. Cody's still posting crazy
• 1:22:20
  numbers like he'll he'll make a post every now and again.
• 1:22:23
  He's always just doing weightlifting and just still
• 1:22:26
  crazy strong. Yeah.
• 1:22:29
  All right. Next up, the giraffe.
• 1:22:32
  This is Brent. OK, what about?
• 1:22:40
  What about James? James is a little more cheat ask
• 1:22:46
  to me. No shot James isn't cheat.
• 1:22:52
  I was trying to think a girl with like just ridiculously long
• 1:22:55
  legs. Long, gangly looking.
• 1:22:58
  Yeah, oh, English Sam Briggs. Although gazelles don't do not
• 1:23:08
  have, I would imagine they do not endure very long.
• 1:23:12
  I would I would say Fukowski makes more sense.
• 1:23:16
  I think, yeah, I like, I like Brent better than that.
• 1:23:18
  There you go. Next up, the Moose, the.
• 1:23:24
  Moose the moose down. I would like Sprague makes sense
• 1:23:31
  here for me. You like Sprague so like I feel
• 1:23:33
  like Sprague is more of like your gazelle like thing down
• 1:23:38
  like a moose just goes to work. They're also real mean.
• 1:23:43
  Oh, OK, You're trying to think of somebody meaner now.
• 1:23:45
  It's not meaner. Well, I'm just bringing it up
• 1:23:47
  like Moose's don't screw around, man.
• 1:23:49
  They when they turn it on, they're done.
• 1:23:51
  Laura Horvath. Yeah.
• 1:23:56
  Yep, Moose, Laura Horvath, A. Little bit of a loner.
• 1:23:59
  Scary looking. Beautiful but scary looking.
• 1:24:04
  Well, yeah, yeah, I don't mean it in a mean way, but just, you
• 1:24:07
  know, I bet she's intimidating in the back.
• 1:24:10
  That's all I'm saying. Yep.
• 1:24:12
  There you go. Laura Horbath is a moose.
• 1:24:15
  Next up, the Anteater. Who's got a big nose?
• 1:24:28
  Savon, can we choose? Savon said aloud.
• 1:24:37
  Savon eats the Ant. I don't know.
• 1:24:41
  No, let's, let's, we can, we can do this.
• 1:24:42
  We can. Let's think about who.
• 1:24:44
  Who Who eats ants? Like who?
• 1:24:48
  Who eats ants? Who's great criteria, yeah, but
• 1:24:52
  how would we relate that like like like like stomps on people
• 1:24:57
  when. I know nothing about anteaters
• 1:25:00
  besides that they eat ants. I bet that's even a lie.
• 1:25:03
  I. I'm thinking.
• 1:25:04
  I'm thinking like when you're so good that everybody else is just
• 1:25:09
  ants to you. Jesus, orange juice.
• 1:25:12
  What the hell? Erica Polo.
• 1:25:14
  Erica Polo. Erica Polo.
• 1:25:16
  Orange juice really hates Erica Polo.
• 1:25:19
  I I'm going to say Colton because when he's good at
• 1:25:22
  something, he just devouts. A hog we can't.
• 1:25:26
  That's fair. Yeah.
• 1:25:27
  Colton's got to be a hog. You're right.
• 1:25:28
  You're. Right, Airy.
• 1:25:33
  An Ant eater? Hi, Ray.
• 1:25:41
  Anteaters are toothless mammals. Long snout, sticky tongues,
• 1:25:48
  strong sense of smell, dense fur, solitary habits and
• 1:25:52
  distinctive walking on their knuckles with claws tucked for
• 1:25:56
  protection. Or a distinct walk.
• 1:26:00
  Loner animals, huh? I like this OK.
• 1:26:07
  He's got, he's got Matt. Loner.
• 1:26:15
  Loner which? Is.
• 1:26:16
  Parker walked Lucas. Oh, I like it.
• 1:26:21
  Yes, I'm for it. Let's Lucas Parker.
• 1:26:24
  Yeah, I bet. I bet you he has ate Nance in
• 1:26:27
  his life. 100%. All right, there it is.
• 1:26:33
  Lucas Parker, not the Luke Parker, but.
• 1:26:35
  The Luke not not the Bachelor. The Canadian.
• 1:26:38
  Yeah, All right. Next up, the Falcon.
• 1:26:41
  Oh. The.
• 1:26:41
  Falcon. That's Lucy Campbell.
• 1:26:46
  Yes. Lucy Campbell, that was.
• 1:26:49
  No explanation needed. OK, no, it just feels right.
• 1:26:53
  A shark. Get any type?
• 1:26:57
  Of. Specific shark.
• 1:26:59
  We're going with the standard. Shark.
• 1:27:01
  Standard shark. Would you say Tia?
• 1:27:04
  Tia is good. Just dot dot dot.
• 1:27:06
  Cold continues to move. Baby.
• 1:27:11
  You can bite chunks out of them and they still live for some
• 1:27:14
  reason. Yeah, they can't do single
• 1:27:17
  unders. It's.
• 1:27:19
  True. Impossible Sharks cannot be.
• 1:27:24
  So true. Yeah, Tia is a shark all.
• 1:27:27
  Right. Tia she coming back, she coming
• 1:27:30
  back for #9 next year I. Don't know, man.
• 1:27:33
  I don't. I don't if she is cool.
• 1:27:35
  If she's not cool, I'm. I'm caring, OK?
• 1:27:42
  The Bull. Oh, the bull.
• 1:27:46
  This is like a. Hatfield.
• 1:27:58
  He's got to be a rabbit man. He's got to be a money rabbit.
• 1:28:04
  I would also give it to Carstetter.
• 1:28:09
  What about Pat Villaner because bulls are have like a mean
• 1:28:15
  streak to them that. Only when provoked.
• 1:28:19
  I think a bull should be somebody who comes out hot.
• 1:28:22
  You want to give it to Noah? I don't think he has the rest of
• 1:28:26
  the characteristics. Of no I know, but like they have
• 1:28:29
  to come out like hot all the time.
• 1:28:32
  Medeiros does feel it, right? I will.
• 1:28:34
  Agree. What?
• 1:28:35
  He's like the perfect pacer. I know, but it's something about
• 1:28:38
  the I don't know. See, I was thinking like Tim
• 1:28:43
  Paulson. He's too Canadian.
• 1:28:47
  Yeah, not even from Canada. I know, but he feels Canadian.
• 1:28:51
  I swore if you'd asked me, I said he's Canadian.
• 1:28:54
  Is he from like Minnesota or something?
• 1:28:55
  No. He's like the Northeast, I
• 1:28:56
  believe. But he does the Granite games
• 1:28:58
  every single time. Yeah, he's up there.
• 1:29:01
  Syracuse or some? It doesn't help that he's a
• 1:29:04
  ginger. Oh, what about Tudor?
• 1:29:06
  What about Tudor? Tudor's good.
• 1:29:09
  I like Tudor. I like Tudor and he's very, very
• 1:29:12
  strong. Definitely got a temper on him.
• 1:29:17
  I don't think he does, but it does I I think we'll rock.
• 1:29:20
  I think I like Tudor. Tudor OK, All right.
• 1:29:23
  I think we got one more praying mantis.
• 1:29:26
  Danny Spiegel Because why? Because she How?
• 1:29:30
  Is that that? Makes sense because.
• 1:29:32
  Because she prays on weak man. Yes, she preys on men.
• 1:29:39
  This is Danny Spiegel to AT. No.
• 1:29:42
  Yeah. And then she chops her head off.
• 1:29:44
  That's what she does. Who is it?
• 1:29:47
  They lull you. They they put this with, they do
• 1:29:50
  this freaking thing on you, they lull you into their thing and
• 1:29:53
  then they. And then they eat you.
• 1:29:56
  It's got to be a good pacer. No dude, this is Danny Spiel.
• 1:30:02
  And also. Small kind of praying.
• 1:30:09
  I will stand by Danny Spiel. Yeah, you can, but you're wrong.
• 1:30:18
  Can you guys hear that, Graham Homburg?
• 1:30:21
  What's she doing? Now it's Pogy.
• 1:30:23
  He sees her. She's look at, look at this
• 1:30:26
  battle I got going on. Can you put me on the main
• 1:30:28
  screen? Look at this.
• 1:30:46
  I I did think about fish for a second, but that doesn't feel
• 1:30:50
  right. No dude like like this person
• 1:30:52
  devours people. This person is is is not cool
• 1:30:59
  praying mantises. Are so cool.
• 1:31:01
  No, they're mean. They're.
• 1:31:03
  Not mean. They're very cool.
• 1:31:04
  They eat all the bad bugs. Yeah, you have a praying mantis.
• 1:31:09
  They're going to eat all the spiders and stuff that you don't
• 1:31:11
  want around. Graham Homburg telling you, Mark
• 1:31:17
  Chamber. There you go.
• 1:31:19
  What about James Sprague? Alsinky also would work.
• 1:31:25
  Works. This one's probably the hardest
• 1:31:27
  1. I don't.
• 1:31:29
  I hey, I think this one's Sam Briggs.
• 1:31:31
  Because you're like, they pay pace a lot of like very good
• 1:31:35
  pacing. And then when they strike, they
• 1:31:37
  bite your head off. Like Sam Briggs did that all the
• 1:31:41
  time. I'm just thinking that whenever
• 1:31:42
  she beat Fukowski in 2016, Ranch run like, like they're just like
• 1:31:46
  she got a little bit of a watch what I do here.
• 1:31:50
  She also went toe to toe with the rich in the open workout and
• 1:31:53
  then died. Well, listen.
• 1:31:55
  She everybody did it that time. She did that very poorly.
• 1:31:59
  She was that that was 2014, right?
• 1:32:01
  Yeah. This is all the bar facing
• 1:32:03
  burpees. Bad idea to go against Rich.
• 1:32:07
  And well, no, dude, I think if she would have just took the 15
• 1:32:11
  just a little slower, she'd have a kick in.
• 1:32:14
  She'd have a kick in the end, but you could she could come out
• 1:32:17
  hot, get ahead and then chill on the 15 because she had such a
• 1:32:22
  lead. Instead, she just keeps on
• 1:32:24
  going. And then I I'm not lured in by
• 1:32:27
  Danielle. You like?
• 1:32:30
  Everybody else is. That's y'all's problem.
• 1:32:36
  Not Tyler. I can't.
• 1:32:37
  Even see your post anymore. I can't.
• 1:32:39
  Danielle, we need to talk about something.
• 1:32:41
  Why you blocking me? I am your most supportive
• 1:32:46
  commentator and analyst. You think you are?
• 1:32:50
  100% most supportive. I think I'm the least biased.
• 1:32:56
  About Danielle, probably, yeah. Danielle, I've never wanted
• 1:33:00
  anything more for you than for you DBU.
• 1:33:02
  You don't have any support like that around you.
• 1:33:05
  I don't know how you got blocked.
• 1:33:06
  Like she blocked me and then like unblocked me like 2 months
• 1:33:09
  ago. I don't.
• 1:33:10
  Understand either listen, I've never said anything bad about
• 1:33:12
  Brooke Wells and Brooke Wells blocked me and I've never like I
• 1:33:15
  not one bad things ever came out of my mouth.
• 1:33:18
  I will say I'm probably the I've I've been unblocked by three
• 1:33:21
  people now that are all high profile.
• 1:33:24
  Rich. Rich, Justin and DB.
• 1:33:28
  Rich blocking you is the funniest.
• 1:33:30
  One you're not blocked by DB. And I am.
• 1:33:33
  Right, I was, and then I got reinstated.
• 1:33:37
  I don't think I, I don't think I've ever been blocked.
• 1:33:40
  What it's? Puppy too.
• 1:33:44
  Never. Talked during my life.
• 1:33:46
  I like it that happens. I'm going with DB on the praying
• 1:33:50
  mantis. OK.
• 1:33:54
  John, John's going to give up on this one.
• 1:33:56
  Oh, there's one more raccoon. Oh hell yeah.
• 1:33:58
  So OK, this is my big right here.
• 1:34:01
  This is this is Hatfield for sure.
• 1:34:05
  He is a Bunny rabbit. He's got an animal.
• 1:34:08
  We're not going to just. Because you raised.
• 1:34:09
  That's a raccoon move right there to raise Bunny rabbits
• 1:34:12
  just to kill them and eat them, no.
• 1:34:15
  It's their trash panda. He's got little hands.
• 1:34:22
  Grab that trash. You're going to tell me somebody
• 1:34:24
  from West Virginia doesn't get a raccoon?
• 1:34:29
  He's no pick somebody else. Who's better?
• 1:34:33
  Pick somebody else. You're you're it's your defense
• 1:34:37
  now I've I've laid the. Game on the table I've given you
• 1:34:40
  Danielle. I'm praying mantis.
• 1:34:41
  You can make this pick because you are the trash panda, but you
• 1:34:47
  need to pick somebody else. Scrappy make something out of
• 1:34:51
  nothing. But you can't make it good.
• 1:34:53
  You just got to pick somebody else.
• 1:34:54
  Each trash surviving even though they shouldn't, even though
• 1:35:04
  everything wants to kill them. Haley Adams.
• 1:35:16
  I can't give it to Haley if you're not going to give me
• 1:35:18
  Hatfield. They kind of, I mean, if, if
• 1:35:22
  Hatfield is, then Haley has to be by nature.
• 1:35:25
  It's like by proximity. She became, she became a
• 1:35:29
  raccoon. I'll give it to Haley.
• 1:35:31
  I don't want to, but I'll give it to her.
• 1:35:34
  Wait, wait, wait, who is a bad diet?
• 1:35:36
  Who is a bad diet like because each trash, right?
• 1:35:39
  Who you want to give it to? Joshua Altrama?
• 1:35:43
  He ain't a raccoon. They got to be rugged.
• 1:35:49
  Rugged. Yeah, you got to be a little.
• 1:35:51
  Rugged. Cute there though.
• 1:35:53
  Oh yeah, they're cute till you get near them and then they're
• 1:35:55
  like. Dude, he looks like bogey.
• 1:35:57
  Except for the ones we were. Where were we?
• 1:36:00
  We were in, We were in Florida and we were in some complex with
• 1:36:06
  a bunch of rental units or something.
• 1:36:07
  And there was just raccoons everywhere.
• 1:36:09
  We were feeding pizza, feeding them pizza.
• 1:36:11
  They were the nicest raccoons I ever met in my life.
• 1:36:13
  I. Bet.
• 1:36:16
  Man, they'll walk up to you with their hands out like this.
• 1:36:23
  Colton is a good pick, Ricky. Dude, Ricky's a cheater, man.
• 1:36:29
  He ain't a cheater. What about Jay?
• 1:36:35
  I could give Jay a raccoon. Sneaky, sneaky.
• 1:36:39
  Yeah. I don't think people want Jay
• 1:36:41
  dead, but they might. I like I like Jay.
• 1:36:47
  The raccoon is very, even though it's, I don't know, I don't know
• 1:36:50
  if they have them in Australia, but it's a very Australian
• 1:36:54
  animal even though it's probably not.
• 1:36:59
  I hate raccoons are native to America.
• 1:37:01
  I know, but they feel. Australian, they could have
• 1:37:03
  traveled over there. We don't know.
• 1:37:06
  I like Jay. I like Jay, yeah.
• 1:37:09
  Jay Crouches. All right, there it is.
• 1:37:12
  Picture this. And last but not least, all the
• 1:37:17
  mayhem we're slowly getting, all of the all the athletes are
• 1:37:23
  starting to accept and confirm that they're competing.
• 1:37:27
  That goes S under £200 right there.
• 1:37:29
  That cracker broke it's. Gone Ortega's doing chat TGPT.
• 1:37:37
  Roman is the is the raccoon. I don't see it.
• 1:37:40
  Roman's a polar bear. All right, the men that have
• 1:37:46
  confirmed for Mayhem, Jason Hopper, Colton Mertens, Austin
• 1:37:52
  Hatfield, Roman Kranikov, Jeff Adler, Saxon Panchik, Nick
• 1:37:56
  Matthew, Chris Ibarra, Jack Rosima, Callum Clements and now
• 1:38:02
  Victor Hoffer. Beeto, huh?
• 1:38:05
  Yeah. On the women's side, we have
• 1:38:08
  Emily Rolf, Gabby Migala, Lucy Campbell, Ariel Lowen, Olivia
• 1:38:13
  Kersetter, Emma Lawson, Hayley Adams, Man and Anganese.
• 1:38:17
  Abby Domet, Claudia Gluck. Paige Rogers.
• 1:38:21
  And Lucy. And Lucy Mcgonigal.
• 1:38:24
  The women's. Film, It's just crazy.
• 1:38:26
  Vicious. All right.
• 1:38:28
  So I'm going to go through, start with the men.
• 1:38:30
  You tell me if they can make the podium.
• 1:38:33
  OK. If they so like, are we saying
• 1:38:35
  more than three people, like people who have a chance to make
• 1:38:37
  the podium or we're picking our three?
• 1:38:40
  No, you're are these we're going to go through and you're going
• 1:38:43
  to tell me, can they make the podium?
• 1:38:45
  OK, Just can they? Yes.
• 1:38:47
  Yeah, Austin Hatfield. Yes, yes.
• 1:38:54
  Roman Kronekov. Yes.
• 1:38:56
  No. Can they make the podium,
• 1:38:59
  thought Will they? I think you're wrong, Tyler.
• 1:39:03
  He literally was third place last year.
• 1:39:09
  I'm telling you what what I think.
• 1:39:10
  He got he got Second World Fitness project means something
• 1:39:14
  Jeff Adler. Yes.
• 1:39:17
  Yeah. Everybody's on the podium, Saxon
• 1:39:19
  Pan Chick. No.
• 1:39:21
  No Saxon, the first one out, Nick Matthew.
• 1:39:25
  No, no, Chris Ibarra. No, no.
• 1:39:31
  Jack Rosama. No.
• 1:39:33
  No. Callum Clements No.
• 1:39:38
  No. Victor Hoffer.
• 1:39:41
  No, although I think he'll do better than people think.
• 1:39:46
  At Mayhem. Yeah, well, see, we haven't seen
• 1:39:48
  him. I don't think he'll do a bit
• 1:39:50
  great at Mayhem. I think he will.
• 1:39:53
  OK, what's great, I think he'll be, I think he'll be 7th place.
• 1:40:02
  Right now we have 10 men. Oh, we forgot Jason Hopper.
• 1:40:09
  Yes. He'll, he'll be all right.
• 1:40:12
  Hopper So we have we have 11 men, 5 have a chance at a
• 1:40:16
  podium. Hopper, Colton, Hatfield, Roman
• 1:40:19
  and Adler. Sounds right.
• 1:40:21
  And then of those after that, Saxon, Nick Matthew, Chris
• 1:40:26
  Ibarra, Jack Rosama, Callum Clements, Victor Hoffer.
• 1:40:31
  Yeah, I think Victor Hoffer for 7th place exactly.
• 1:40:38
  I said top 7. Johnson I said I I will put it
• 1:40:41
  here right now. You heard it here first.
• 1:40:42
  Victor Hoffer will get exactly 7 places.
• 1:40:44
  Or he's going to get 18th or whatever.
• 1:40:48
  How many are they inviting? 20.
• 1:40:50
  Should he do that's? The goal of.
• 1:40:51
  The whole competition? Should he do the whole
• 1:40:53
  competition? Yeah, all right.
• 1:40:56
  Of those five, Hoffer, Colton, Hatfield, Roman or Adler, Tyler,
• 1:41:01
  who's making the podium? Jason, who's sending?
• 1:41:06
  Hatfield, give me the other ones.
• 1:41:10
  Colton, Roman or Adler? Colton.
• 1:41:17
  OK, John. I'm going to say Jeff, Jason,
• 1:41:29
  and then either Hatfield or Colton.
• 1:41:33
  I don't know. I don't know which one.
• 1:41:35
  Feet to the fire now. I'd have to see the events.
• 1:41:39
  That's not how it works. It's not the game, John.
• 1:41:41
  It's. Way too early predictions of
• 1:41:43
  mayhem. I know he's going to pee.
• 1:41:49
  I don't know why you're hiding from it.
• 1:41:50
  I don't think you know, I'll take Colton.
• 1:41:55
  He did that on purpose. I'm going to go with Adler
• 1:42:03
  Hopper. I want to say Roman.
• 1:42:10
  OK, want. To put money on it.
• 1:42:13
  Dude, Roman's good. He knows the events.
• 1:42:19
  He knows the events right now. No Roman.
• 1:42:22
  OK, no he doesn't. Roman just walks into a
• 1:42:26
  whiteboard. Although I could see Roman be.
• 1:42:28
  He just walks into the room and then doesn't say anything.
• 1:42:30
  He's like, oh, I can't, I can't read English numbers.
• 1:42:33
  That's what he says. English numbers.
• 1:42:35
  Yeah, yeah. I remember last year you said he
• 1:42:37
  was asking those guys about handstand push ups and how they
• 1:42:41
  couldn't be, couldn't possibly have handstand push ups because
• 1:42:44
  of the wall. Like he was trying to figure it
• 1:42:46
  out. So he's definitely sneaking
• 1:42:48
  around there trying to see. Oh yeah, he's definitely like
• 1:42:51
  wandering. Sorry, sorry.
• 1:42:55
  Where is the where? Where is the bathroom again?
• 1:42:58
  You've been here. Five years get out.
• 1:43:01
  Here. Nine more guys, where do they
• 1:43:07
  come from is I guess is it, is it just like that they want to
• 1:43:10
  compete at Mayhem at this? Point Yeah, these nine are just
• 1:43:13
  your who's who wants the experience.
• 1:43:16
  Which I would 100% do. Yeah, you know, I think they'll
• 1:43:20
  feel it outfield just fine and like these that and those guys
• 1:43:22
  will be fine. Then it'll just be a teardrop.
• 1:43:25
  But I mean, they can beat like like a George starter or Connor
• 1:43:29
  bolts that they were mentioned earlier.
• 1:43:31
  I think they beat Nick Matthews. But yeah, depending on the
• 1:43:36
  events, right. What about what?
• 1:43:38
  About Quinn, like obviously he's one of those guys that.
• 1:43:41
  Quinn's tough, yeah. Quinn's tough as far as like
• 1:43:44
  beating a guy like Nick Matthew into purely event based.
• 1:43:48
  But I think Mayhem would help, Right, Right.
• 1:43:53
  Yeah, I think it would suit him, yes.
• 1:43:56
  So yeah, those guys I think would make a difference.
• 1:44:01
  Whoever they fill out the field with can absolutely make the top
• 1:44:03
  10, but I don't think you're thinking you're going to make
• 1:44:07
  the game. So you're just there for
• 1:44:08
  experience. But how many times are you going
• 1:44:10
  to get to go against Jeff Adler, Jason Hopper, Roman Austin?
• 1:44:15
  You know, Colton does a lot of local competition or like a lot
• 1:44:18
  of the like, you know, crashes and norcals and stuff.
• 1:44:21
  None of the rest of them really do.
• 1:44:22
  So when are you going to go against top competition like
• 1:44:24
  that? And Colton's kind of a little
• 1:44:27
  bit of a a unique character because he's going to be bad in
• 1:44:31
  certain things relative to the best in the world.
• 1:44:35
  And then there's things you're just not going to touch him on,
• 1:44:37
  right? Jason and Roman and Austin
• 1:44:41
  aren't like that. They are are just really, really
• 1:44:44
  fit. Like Colton's unique in whatever
• 1:44:46
  competitions he's he's in because the same rules apply to
• 1:44:49
  the best in the world that apply to semi finals athletes when
• 1:44:52
  going against Colton. Nobody else is like that.
• 1:44:56
  I I think obviously Colton qualified last year and I think
• 1:45:01
  Mayhem programming suits him. I also think at the same time
• 1:45:06
  last year when I don't think Hopper and even Roman Sprague, I
• 1:45:15
  think they thought they could like maybe waltz into it more
• 1:45:20
  and they probably maybe got shocked like, oh wow, like, no,
• 1:45:23
  I wasn't ready. Yeah.
• 1:45:25
  I mean, I, I think the first event just effed up a lot of
• 1:45:28
  people and Colton, it did not F up him, right?
• 1:45:32
  Him and Austin both, and they're the best squatters.
• 1:45:34
  I don't think it was too much squatting.
• 1:45:37
  I just think I, I don't think it was too much squatting, but I
• 1:45:40
  think that first event just effed people up and the best
• 1:45:46
  squatters. It didn't F up nearest bat.
• 1:45:49
  That's what I think happened. That's it.
• 1:45:51
  Not that they were maybe not expecting it.
• 1:45:55
  No, I don't think they were expecting to get effed up from
• 1:45:57
  one event like. That, but I mean, I think now,
• 1:45:59
  now Mayhem's gonna be 3 days, probably 6 workouts versus the
• 1:46:03
  five. Yeah, I don't think it'll be
• 1:46:06
  near as. Strenuous.
• 1:46:10
  Correct. As far as just like who can, I
• 1:46:12
  know it's short events, but it's it's really like we're about to
• 1:46:16
  F you all up and we're gonna see recovers the best.
• 1:46:18
  And that in general, it does test who's the fittest, like who
• 1:46:23
  can recover the best. But for some reason that first
• 1:46:27
  event, that specific stimulus, I think after those guys up more
• 1:46:32
  than normal. And then going straight into
• 1:46:35
  Isabel. Correct.
• 1:46:36
  And I and I think Colton and Austin just was able to take
• 1:46:39
  that that squad event much better than everybody else and
• 1:46:43
  that set the tone for the rest of the event.
• 1:46:46
  No excuses, but I do think that one event played a role in who
• 1:46:50
  went. I think, I think adding an extra
• 1:46:53
  event, like if you threw a, if you threw a 6th event in there
• 1:46:57
  that was again, not Colton's wheelhouse, like Roman probably
• 1:47:02
  ends up getting it right. Yeah.
• 1:47:05
  So having that extra event could really throw things, change
• 1:47:09
  them. So.
• 1:47:11
  All right. And I think.
• 1:47:12
  Colton still won't get it. You know, I, I mean, I picked, I
• 1:47:14
  picked him too. Yeah, kind of.
• 1:47:20
  What are you doing right now? Salt on my hand.
• 1:47:23
  I didn't know you were like having a Dick or whatever.
• 1:47:25
  No, I, I, I lick the salt. I lick the salt off.
• 1:47:28
  Yeah. All right, on the women's side.
• 1:47:30
  Emily Rolf, Can she? Could she make the podium?
• 1:47:34
  No 3rd place last year. Gammy Mcgowa.
• 1:47:41
  Yes. I don't, I'm not going to say
• 1:47:44
  she's going to, but I'm I'm. Going to say she's podium.
• 1:47:47
  Material. Sure.
• 1:47:49
  Yes, all right. Lucy Campbell.
• 1:47:54
  Yes, yeah, Ariel Lowen. Yeah, no.
• 1:48:02
  All right, we'll put. Her on the in that list for now.
• 1:48:05
  Olivia Curstetter. Yeah, Yeah.
• 1:48:10
  Emma Lawson. Yes.
• 1:48:13
  What? No.
• 1:48:15
  No. He's just being, he's honest
• 1:48:18
  with his thoughts, man. Everybody.
• 1:48:19
  'S allowed to be wrong. Hayley Adams No.
• 1:48:24
  No. I thought she was squatting and.
• 1:48:28
  Lifting man in agonies? No, no.
• 1:48:33
  Abby Domit, yes. OK.
• 1:48:38
  Claudia Gluck. Yes.
• 1:48:41
  No. Why John or why Tyler?
• 1:48:45
  I think she's gotten better. Increasingly every year, and we
• 1:48:48
  always doubt. Her, she just.
• 1:48:50
  Got beat at some competition in Europe.
• 1:48:53
  Yeah, some competition. Yeah, against no names.
• 1:48:58
  Paige Rogers No. No, but consider.
• 1:49:05
  It Lucy. Mcgonigal.
• 1:49:07
  Yes. Podium.
• 1:49:16
  Yeah, we'll put her in there now.
• 1:49:21
  You're feeling it, John now. You're feeling it, no?
• 1:49:23
  No, don't put her in there. Don't put us in.
• 1:49:26
  The same boat. No, get out of here.
• 1:49:28
  I would have. Said no, but she she's like a.
• 1:49:33
  Victor Hawker type of. Situation 7th. 5th to 7th I.
• 1:49:38
  Think. Good showing, but not there, I
• 1:49:40
  think. Lucy.
• 1:49:40
  McDonald gets exactly. 5th place.
• 1:49:42
  That's the. One we should put in heat 1.
• 1:49:44
  Just. Randomly all the time.
• 1:49:46
  Who gets 7th? Yeah, dude, yeah.
• 1:49:50
  Or no, I think. Listen, listen.
• 1:49:52
  I just said it. So it's going to happen.
• 1:49:54
  I think you should. I think it should just be does
• 1:49:56
  Victor Hoffer get 7th place? No, just make it Victor Hoffer.
• 1:49:59
  Yes No yes no yes. It's worth. 70 points.
• 1:50:04
  No, it's worth. 30 See, I like making.
• 1:50:06
  The points ridiculous for. If you get 7th because it's
• 1:50:09
  like. No, you, you got to you got to
• 1:50:12
  make it so it, it's still variable.
• 1:50:14
  Tyler, I'm going to like pay. You to do that it's hard to
• 1:50:19
  remember votes. I have the formula John I've.
• 1:50:22
  Already given him the math we have the we have.
• 1:50:24
  The technology. Yeah.
• 1:50:26
  All right. So we have Gabby.
• 1:50:28
  We have Gabby Lucy Campbell. We put Ariel on there, Olivia
• 1:50:34
  Curstetter, Emma Lawson, Domit and Mcgonigal.
• 1:50:38
  There's 7. Women on here that could
• 1:50:40
  potentially podium, yeah, I got my podium.
• 1:50:45
  Go through them one more time. Sorry.
• 1:50:47
  Gabby. Lucy Campbell.
• 1:50:50
  Ariel Lowen, Olivia. Curstetter, Emma.
• 1:50:54
  Lawson, Abby, Domit, and Lucy. Mcgonigal.
• 1:50:58
  I feel really good about my podium.
• 1:50:59
  I actually think it's exactly going to go like this, OK?
• 1:51:02
  Like I feel better. About it than normal.
• 1:51:04
  You start off OK, Lucy Campbell, it's going to get first place,
• 1:51:10
  and then I have Emma Lawson second place.
• 1:51:17
  And then I have Abby Dalmut in 3rd.
• 1:51:23
  Dalmut. Olivia.
• 1:51:26
  Yeah. Olivia Kerstetter.
• 1:51:32
  Oh, no. Put Claudia Buck in there.
• 1:51:36
  Yeah. Oh, no, you said it.
• 1:51:37
  Yeah. Put her in there, Put her in
• 1:51:39
  there. Gabby all right, you want.
• 1:51:45
  To make a like a. 200 ring muscle up bet on.
• 1:51:47
  On it, on some more. Correct.
• 1:51:50
  I like my picks intact the way they are.
• 1:51:54
  Oh, we got some. Things just popped up here.
• 1:51:57
  Fergie show for. Tyler's Knoxville Pizza Fund.
• 1:52:02
  Were you getting pizza, Tyler? I'm going to give give big adds
• 1:52:06
  a break, Wilson. Is the man for food.
• 1:52:10
  He had this really good pizza place we didn't get to try last
• 1:52:12
  year. I can't remember the name of it,
• 1:52:13
  but that's where I'll be going. I'm going to go downtown and get
• 1:52:17
  some ice cream at that old fashioned ice cream place.
• 1:52:20
  I'm. Excited to go get pizza with.
• 1:52:21
  You, Tyler, I think that I think we should make this a tradition.
• 1:52:24
  I will make the 100%. Make that a.
• 1:52:25
  Tradition everyday New member. Thanks.
• 1:52:27
  We should start rating them. We should start.
• 1:52:29
  Having our own list. Yeah, Tyler.
• 1:52:31
  Doing a live stream from the pizza.
• 1:52:33
  Place. Yeah, Tyler.
• 1:52:34
  Tyler will be down with that. We could live stream it if you
• 1:52:38
  want. All.
• 1:52:39
  Right. I don't know how you don't pick
• 1:52:41
  Campbell to to qualify, I pointed to.
• 1:52:43
  That's why I said, Oh no, yeah, I think that.
• 1:52:48
  Was a mistake. I'm picking.
• 1:52:51
  Lucy, because it's Lucy. Picking Emma.
• 1:52:57
  I don't know why you hate Emma. I'm a believer.
• 1:53:02
  Not he doesn't. Not he doesn't not believe.
• 1:53:04
  In her he doesn't. Believe her.
• 1:53:07
  As a person, she exists. I just like if you listen to
• 1:53:12
  Jason's podcast with. Oh, Cam Haynes.
• 1:53:16
  It's like Cam said he had heart during like the rock carrier or
• 1:53:20
  whatever and it's like she doesn't.
• 1:53:24
  I know. It's like, I'm sorry Jack and
• 1:53:26
  I'm sorry Emma, but like. I just.
• 1:53:31
  Yeah, I, I don't, I don't know, like I just don't.
• 1:53:33
  Like you seem out of it and it's like when you've you've been.
• 1:53:36
  As far out of it as you went, I don't.
• 1:53:39
  I just don't believe you can come back.
• 1:53:40
  I think your heart's not in it. All right, I have Lucy, Emma.
• 1:53:49
  I'm going to pick Olivia Curstetter.
• 1:53:55
  Yeah, those are good picks. I think there will be 1 long
• 1:53:59
  cardio workout. That she'll take 15th in Oh,
• 1:54:03
  it's 20 people, right. So like 11th, 12th, 12th in, not
• 1:54:06
  15th, 12th in. She's fine.
• 1:54:08
  And, and no, I think that will be enough.
• 1:54:11
  Not with five or six 5 or 6 events. 6.
• 1:54:13
  Events. She'll be fine, yeah.
• 1:54:14
  I don't think it's going to happen to anybody else.
• 1:54:17
  I don't think it's going to happen to anybody else.
• 1:54:18
  If there was a Max out. Then then I would agree with
• 1:54:21
  you. Because Lucy.
• 1:54:22
  'S going to get hurt and a Max out right?
• 1:54:24
  Emma Austin won't get as hurt, but it look like she's losing
• 1:54:28
  points to people, right? It's going to be a barbell
• 1:54:31
  cycling workout. If it is light enough, Lucy's
• 1:54:34
  going to be top three. If it's light enough, if it's
• 1:54:38
  heavy enough, then Lucy will still be 7th place because it's
• 1:54:41
  not a Max out and fitness comes into play.
• 1:54:43
  Think James Sprake right would you?
• 1:54:45
  What would you think the Max the heavy lift is this year?
• 1:54:50
  They're not. They don't have them at Mayhem.
• 1:54:52
  They don't do that at Mayhem. It's always.
• 1:54:54
  I'm going to say more at. Max but like Isabel was heavy.
• 1:54:58
  Isabel is the the heavy lift. Last year.
• 1:55:00
  So yeah, I mean, I think it'll be like, like, what's the
• 1:55:02
  movement they didn't squat clean into?
• 1:55:05
  Some handstand push ups. One year they were deficit
• 1:55:08
  handstand push ups. That could hurt Lucy, but like I
• 1:55:11
  think it'll be like that. It'll be a workout worth
• 1:55:13
  escalating weights and it's probably going to be a clean or
• 1:55:16
  cleaning jerk of some fashion because snatch was an overkill
• 1:55:19
  last year. Three Rep hang clean.
• 1:55:23
  They don't do that at mayhem. They, they, they.
• 1:55:25
  They're always probably why they'll do it.
• 1:55:28
  One Rep Max GHD setup. That's like saying Jr. is going
• 1:55:32
  to do a one Rep. Max, like Jr., doesn't.
• 1:55:34
  Do one Rep maxes either right They're.
• 1:55:36
  Not 33 Rep Max. He's he's he's not going to
• 1:55:39
  randomly do that, Like eat that. No, you know what, you know what
• 1:55:45
  I'll eat? I'll eat this.
• 1:55:48
  You're going to eat this. Jr. would shock the world if you
• 1:55:52
  end up throwing. Out A1 Rep Max he OK?
• 1:55:55
  So one Rep Max bench. Press J.
• 1:56:01
  He would do that. Just to goat you into doing it.
• 1:56:04
  Yeah, JY Barbell, but. He would put it at the end of
• 1:56:07
  something terrible. That's the next.
• 1:56:10
  That's what's going to be the next. 2A2B is the. 2B is the
• 1:56:14
  water at Max bench right? OK, John, you can have it.
• 1:56:18
  Put 365 on, I'll do it cold, I like. 5K run into a bench press.
• 1:56:22
  It wouldn't. Matter what that ASP would be, I
• 1:56:25
  could that. 25 minute time cap John's done, no?
• 1:56:28
  AJR, he would make. He's tough.
• 1:56:30
  That's tough. That's.
• 1:56:33
  Awesome, I love that 'cause. I'm I'm rocking 24 minutes and
• 1:56:38
  we're coming in better load that sucker up.
• 1:56:39
  We're coming into 225 three 15345. 3370.
• 1:56:45
  Five in a minute. Yeah, all in a minute.
• 1:56:47
  That's you can preload the barbell.
• 1:56:51
  I could let you do that. I think like 3. 50s it for that
• 1:56:56
  like and I might. Fail.
• 1:56:58
  It just depends. On the day, no, no, no muscle
• 1:57:02
  UPS the time because because I'm going to.
• 1:57:05
  Have one minute. I don't know if I can.
• 1:57:07
  Just. Do that.
• 1:57:11
  That'll be good. That'll be tough.
• 1:57:12
  That's a really cool. I would like that though.
• 1:57:14
  I would you know that would be fun.
• 1:57:16
  Yeah, it'd be. Fun work out and then and then
• 1:57:20
  freaking whoever. Jeff Adler.
• 1:57:22
  Gets done in 17. Minutes and he's done maxing by
• 1:57:27
  the time I get back even start maxing.
• 1:57:29
  Yeah, yeah, honestly, that's what I would do.
• 1:57:32
  That's what I would do for Jeff, for Jeff.
• 1:57:34
  Because. Because I love Jeff.
• 1:57:35
  Everybody knows I love Jeff. Big Jeff fan is that I would
• 1:57:38
  just go to his bench and the last thing that he the last
• 1:57:42
  bench that he does, I would do that for the first one or add 2
• 1:57:46
  and a halfs and then and then like down back.
• 1:57:47
  All right, I, I'm excited. Any of the men or the women
• 1:57:55
  that. We said are not podium potential
• 1:57:58
  have any shot. Would you be surprised if
• 1:58:00
  anybody made it on the female? I think Gabby Mcgowa is the big
• 1:58:04
  dark horse because peak Gabby. Mcgowa I would pick to be on the
• 1:58:09
  podium. I don't think you're going to
• 1:58:10
  beat Lucy, but I put it right there with Emma.
• 1:58:13
  Why do you think Gabby's going to Mayhem?
• 1:58:17
  Well, she's close to it now. She's at in Georgia.
• 1:58:21
  Not full time, I don't think. Is she?
• 1:58:22
  I don't think full time, I don't know.
• 1:58:25
  But I don't think full time. What I was just itching to get
• 1:58:28
  back. Out there, what a statement it
• 1:58:30
  makes if she comes out and like wins it like and.
• 1:58:33
  That might be what she's trying to.
• 1:58:34
  Do is like no, I'm here yeah I think she just wants to get back
• 1:58:41
  out there and see where she's at what else the.
• 1:58:43
  Competition to do though. Then she'll then.
• 1:58:45
  She'll come out to send. If she doesn't qualify, she'll
• 1:58:47
  come out to. Syndicate and she'll know where
• 1:58:49
  she's at amongst top top. Competition, absolutely.
• 1:58:52
  I think it's smart that's that's not.
• 1:58:53
  Great plan, Gabby. Mayhem Syndicate online semi
• 1:58:58
  finals. That's the plan.
• 1:59:01
  I like it. Yeah, on the women's side, I
• 1:59:03
  think that. Possibility of somebody sneaking
• 1:59:05
  in is a lot. Better on the whim or the men's
• 1:59:08
  side. No, no chance.
• 1:59:10
  Those five, I mean, are locked. They're literally the top in
• 1:59:16
  the. Top five of the world on any
• 1:59:18
  given day, depending on the programming, they're Colton's a
• 1:59:22
  little special, but the rest of them are top five in the world.
• 1:59:27
  I mean, I Yeah. And.
• 1:59:30
  And he is depending on the program, and he is too.
• 1:59:33
  Like it's, it's it's. Yeah.
• 1:59:35
  There and there's a clear tier gap, you know, like a friend,
• 1:59:39
  anybody complain about the, you know, not everybody's accepting
• 1:59:42
  or whatever. If you go back to the the actual
• 1:59:46
  regional days, not the Super regionals where it was. 5
• 1:59:49
  qualified but. Three if you said the Hopper,
• 1:59:54
  Colton, Hatfield, Roman and Adler.
• 1:59:56
  And then those seven women. Or is it?
• 1:59:58
  Yeah, seven women. We're in the field of a regional
• 2:00:05
  15 or 12. Years ago.
• 2:00:06
  Like we'd all be pumped. It looks like central E, yeah.
• 2:00:10
  It is right and you know that Athlean cause like.
• 2:00:16
  Yeah, Emily Rolf. Manon, Paige.
• 2:00:20
  Gluck. Haley.
• 2:00:22
  All that I mean those are all games athletes who would not be
• 2:00:24
  going. Dude it's so crazy you make that
• 2:00:26
  comparison cause like it doesn't.
• 2:00:30
  Feel that way, though. Hey, you're like, where's
• 2:00:33
  Dallin? Where's Yeah, you know, like all
• 2:00:36
  these guys, all these guys and women.
• 2:00:37
  That said, no, but you look at it and you're like compared to
• 2:00:40
  the 2014, 2013 Central E, yeah, 2012.
• 2:00:48
  I mean, it was. It just goes to show you that
• 2:00:52
  it's like. Having the games.
• 2:00:55
  Athletes, there is not. Everything.
• 2:00:58
  I mean, they are. I mean, they're all there.
• 2:01:01
  These are all games level. Games Athletes.
• 2:01:05
  And only three will. Qualify out of the 11 of each
• 2:01:08
  1212. Women 11 men.
• 2:01:12
  They're somewhere else, like this field is going to be
• 2:01:15
  stacked and they're not going to find somewhere else to go and
• 2:01:20
  we'll be waiting for them at Syndicate.
• 2:01:25
  Get your. Tickets.
• 2:01:26
  That's right. If you guys didn't know, didn't
• 2:01:29
  catch it. We will be live streaming.
• 2:01:31
  Syndicate Crown dude, Syndicate is so much fun.
• 2:01:34
  I'm so excited to do that again and like I just.
• 2:01:37
  Love the venue, dude, and it's going to be I mean last year,
• 2:01:43
  all of. The big names.
• 2:01:45
  Had their tickets right, like we're it's just going to be fun
• 2:01:49
  to have some bigger, some bigger names.
• 2:01:51
  Not that last year wasn't fun, but I don't know.
• 2:01:55
  I think it's going to be more hyped than ever.
• 2:01:57
  I mean, think about, think about.
• 2:01:58
  I think that came out of that Murfreesboro.
• 2:01:59
  Everybody learned about Murfreesboro.
• 2:02:03
  There's just some of those athletes were fantastic that we
• 2:02:05
  got to meet. Even in the athletes, it was
• 2:02:08
  great. Oh, that freaking B team.
• 2:02:11
  Yeah. But then we'll have teams there.
• 2:02:13
  Hopefully more fans will come. Support their affiliates.
• 2:02:16
  Watch the teams. Every Mayhem team will be there.
• 2:02:20
  Now the team qualification for Syndicate, that's through.
• 2:02:25
  Quarters open only. There are no quarterfinals.
• 2:02:28
  Oh yeah. So it's only through the open.
• 2:02:32
  It's the only team semifinal. In the US, that should just.
• 2:02:37
  Sell out so like and they get three games tickets. 33 teams.
• 2:02:43
  Will go to so top three. Men top three women and three
• 2:02:46
  teams. So like we could easily see an
• 2:02:49
  Invictus team come out. That'd be insane.
• 2:02:53
  I I think there's three Mayhem teams.
• 2:02:56
  This portion's not getting talked about enough.
• 2:02:59
  There's proven team. Training think tank.
• 2:03:04
  Oh my God, is it CrossFit? Is it 1812 or one?
• 2:03:09
  Of the team. That.
• 2:03:11
  Riley Good was on and one of the other ones on there, Androsic,
• 2:03:18
  they were at the games last year.
• 2:03:19
  The other Mayhem team, the other Mayhem team.
• 2:03:23
  So I mean, there's going to be a.
• 2:03:24
  Lot of good teams. There as well, so like we've
• 2:03:29
  always said, teams bring the fans.
• 2:03:33
  And so I mean I've. Seen a sneak peek at the
• 2:03:36
  schedule of events. I don't know the events yet.
• 2:03:38
  I've just looked at the blocks that try to start thinking about
• 2:03:41
  that. It's a busy three days.
• 2:03:46
  Yeah. So this.
• 2:03:47
  Week just wall to wall coverage. And we'll be there for the.
• 2:03:51
  Whole thing. And stay tuned for the JY
• 2:03:53
  Barbell Challenge. We don't know what it's going to
• 2:03:56
  be yet, but it'll be. It's bench press.
• 2:03:59
  It'll be there. Got to got to wait for the
• 2:04:01
  programming be a fun run followed by a.
• 2:04:04
  Max Rep. Bench press It should be the 5K.
• 2:04:07
  Followed by the one Rep Max bench press.
• 2:04:09
  It should be John. How?
• 2:04:11
  How would we how would we score that you just.
• 2:04:17
  You scored the time cap then, yeah?
• 2:04:20
  No I know, but it's it's 2 scores or is it?
• 2:04:23
  I think it has to be 1 score. What if you?
• 2:04:25
  Divide your seconds by how many pounds you've bench pressed and
• 2:04:29
  that's your score. Or what if it's just 225?
• 2:04:35
  And it or 185 Max reps I liked. It like that weigh less, Yeah.
• 2:04:41
  It's just it's going to be cool seeing people show.
• 2:04:43
  Out. But the problem is you need
• 2:04:45
  spotters. No, I think it needs to be a 25
• 2:04:47
  minute time cap and like that's what it is, right?
• 2:04:49
  Like like that's that's how. Long you have I would train so
• 2:04:52
  hard for this I would run every single day I'd.
• 2:04:57
  Bench three days a week. You couldn't.
• 2:05:00
  You couldn't. You couldn't beat me in this.
• 2:05:02
  No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't beat you in it.
• 2:05:05
  I I beat you in the 5K, there's no way I'm.
• 2:05:07
  Beating you in the bench press and it's.
• 2:05:09
  Just hoping that. Enough people get between me.
• 2:05:11
  And you on the 5K, we're still within like at least a minute
• 2:05:14
  and 1/2 or two minutes on the 5K, Yeah, yeah, maybe.
• 2:05:17
  It's just not going to be enough.
• 2:05:18
  I don't know. I've never like, I've not
• 2:05:21
  dedicated. Myself that much?
• 2:05:22
  To running if I did. I I think I would be way better
• 2:05:27
  at running if I tried. What does CrossFit talk about?
• 2:05:30
  Graphics. Graphics question mark.
• 2:05:32
  Of course we'll have graphics. We didn't have any.
• 2:05:34
  Graphics last year or not? Very.
• 2:05:36
  We had a few. Yeah.
• 2:05:39
  The doomed if you do couple, couple.
• 2:05:41
  Overlays. I've been working on that.
