2025 CrossFit Games Mountain: A Tapestry of Fitness · The Spin Podcast

• 0:33
  Welcome to the spin. We're back.
• 0:35
  The 2025 Open is officially behind us, thankfully.
• 0:43
  Why? Thankfully.
• 0:45
  I did not do so well this year. I actually think this is the
• 0:49
  worst I've been in about 5 years.
• 0:51
  I think I and I am not less fit than I was five years ago, but
• 0:56
  I'm pretty sure is what the numbers say.
• 0:58
  I I actually think I I strained my AC joint my left shoulder.
• 1:03
  You don't need that. On 25.1 with all the pressing
• 1:07
  and I actually tried to get dry needling and massage done on
• 1:12
  Wednesday Thursday of last week and I got wall walks down but
• 1:17
  not nearly fast enough and. Paid for it.
• 1:21
  So it's cuz Jr. didn't put his video out soon enough right?
• 1:25
  Exactly. He was holding that to himself
• 1:26
  so he could win. His own age group didn't want
• 1:28
  anybody else to see it. And then he puts it out there.
• 1:32
  I take way more steps than he does.
• 1:35
  It's easier to take less steps, so you.
• 1:37
  You did good. I did way more work.
• 1:39
  Yeah, yeah. Trust me, I was.
• 1:40
  I was upside down many, many, many more seconds than.
• 1:46
  Jr. and everybody else, you're that Jr.
• 1:48
  Quitter. Yeah, I mean, honestly, you did
• 1:50
  way more work than Dallin too. Like you, you did more work than
• 1:54
  a significant amount of people. I tried to say that for 25.2 and
• 1:57
  people took offense. I said I worked the entire, I
• 2:00
  worked the entire 20 minutes or whatever it was, and you guys
• 2:03
  did not. That was the exact.
• 2:05
  Thought rolling through my head when?
• 2:07
  Alexis finished, and I still knew I still had.
• 2:10
  A long way to go, that's. Right.
• 2:14
  That's right. We don't even know what hard
• 2:16
  work is, Alexis. It's finished too.
• 2:18
  It's too easy standing with the mountain is coming.
• 2:23
  The mountain is fair. It is the tapestry of fitness.
• 2:26
  A rich tapestry of fitness. Yeah, summer broke back
• 2:30
  mountain. I don't know, it's a different.
• 2:33
  Speaking of 25.3, Ariel Dorsey wants to know who won Tyler or
• 2:38
  John on 25? Point, seeing as it's another
• 2:41
  test of capacity, aerobic capacity in a different fashion,
• 2:46
  Tyler Tyler did win it. I will say.
• 2:49
  John, I, I was going to make a post.
• 2:53
  It was going to be, you know, those guys that are looking down
• 2:55
  from that, those royal guys looking down from that banister
• 2:59
  And it it's like, you know me a level 9 whenever John tells me
• 3:05
  he's fitter than me, but I was like, didn't because I was like
• 3:09
  it really. I I'm not in the same camp as
• 3:13
  everybody else's as this was like a stupid test or whatever,
• 3:16
  but I I'm not going to say that I'm fitter than you.
• 3:21
  I think you're aerobically fitter than me.
• 3:23
  Yeah. Listen, the Open is a test of
• 3:27
  aerobic fitness and I think you are fitter than me in in an
• 3:30
  aerobic capacity. I want to some guys get
• 3:33
  affiliate semifinals and see when the weight does.
• 3:36
  I think we're I you want to record the semi final ones and
• 3:40
  we'll, we'll do showdowns on those because.
• 3:42
  Just like those yeah 2 normal dudes do fitness.
• 3:46
  Yeah, All right. Hey, I guarantee you at least
• 3:50
  one of these tests. Oh, you'll hit a Homer. 50 in
• 3:52
  the world. OK, so, but yeah.
• 3:59
  Barry Mccarter. Saying that's how it's fitter
• 4:01
  than me right now, no. Problem John probably has Jack
• 4:03
  Farlow at the top of the mountain.
• 4:06
  I don't know what would give you that sense of it.
• 4:08
  He can't even claim more than me now, so I don't know.
• 4:10
  He's on a world fitness project. Yeah.
• 4:14
  Oh yeah. Colton Top of the Mountain.
• 4:17
  We'll see. Let's see, Trish knows that the
• 4:23
  WFP Challenger season is here. It is released, I think
• 4:26
  technically in an hour they're going to do some YouTube video,
• 4:31
  but maybe we'll go take a look at that at 8:00.
• 4:33
  I have seen the rule book. I can't talk about it until 8 O
• 4:36
  1:00 PM, but we'll do that. Rosalie Green.
• 4:41
  Does John have a punishment for losing 3 O to Mr. Trash Panda?
• 4:45
  We'll see. I think the punishments will be
• 4:47
  doled out by our our teams, how our teams did.
• 4:51
  And then the last two places have 7 minutes of burpees.
• 4:56
  Is that correct spin? That is correct, Grant, I don't
• 4:59
  know if you saw it keeping it real he's he's betting against
• 5:03
  team meets spin. He already did his 7 minutes of
• 5:05
  burpees just in case. Just.
• 5:09
  Got it out of the way. Yeah, we'll find out if he's did
• 5:12
  it on if he needed to do it or what if you guys has to.
• 5:15
  But we'll find that out here shortly.
• 5:17
  But first, it is time for some viewer comments.
• 5:21
  Let's do it. Another great picture.
• 5:25
  There we go. First one at Christy Taylor.
• 5:30
  I fought for double unders because I want to do them in the
• 5:32
  open. I want harder to strive for
• 5:35
  something. Just don't give easy scaled
• 5:37
  options. That pisses me off.
• 5:39
  And the whole point of live open workouts is watching games,
• 5:43
  athletes figuring out how to do them in the moment.
• 5:46
  Unless you know them ahead of time, knowing them in advance
• 5:49
  and doing well doesn't impress me.
• 5:51
  I didn't watch the boys compete because they already knew the
• 5:54
  workout. I wouldn't, I don't know if they
• 5:59
  already knew the workout, but, and I mean, I think that was,
• 6:02
  even if they did, I think it was one of the more impressive open
• 6:05
  announcements that we've seen. You know, you have three guys
• 6:09
  who have very similar traits just kill themselves against
• 6:13
  each other. I I think it was a pretty darn
• 6:16
  good open announcement. I'm not a fan of the program.
• 6:18
  Honestly. Each individual workout I think
• 6:21
  is a great workout like as just like a class workout.
• 6:25
  I think it's great workout, great CrossFit thing, right?
• 6:30
  But I think watching them three go against each other was was
• 6:36
  one one of the better open announcements.
• 6:38
  Yeah, it, I mean, just the actual race itself to have Jason
• 6:41
  start out strong, Dallin overtake him, and then James
• 6:45
  come out of nowhere to catch Jason.
• 6:49
  I mean, it was a, it was a good 90 minutes of like something was
• 6:53
  happening the entire time of, of movement.
• 6:56
  A lot of times those, those announcements, you know, like we
• 6:59
  knew Emily was going to beat Sydney very early on.
• 7:03
  Cindy made a run at the end there.
• 7:04
  Yeah, but she. Almost.
• 7:06
  Had her right, but it wasn't like back and forth.
• 7:09
  No. No Jamie. 2nd place and 3rd
• 7:13
  place only. The winner does not have to do 7
• 7:16
  minutes of burpees. Is that it?
• 7:19
  I don't remember that. I, I thought, that's what we
• 7:21
  said. I thought.
• 7:23
  I'm done with that. I had planned on doing 7 minutes
• 7:26
  of burpees. I guess I don't have to.
• 7:28
  Lesson learned in the open. I think it should never just be
• 7:32
  two people that do the open announcement.
• 7:36
  I think it should be 3 at least. I think it depends on the
• 7:38
  people. I think you don't get rich
• 7:40
  versus mad if it's three people. I I think there there is more
• 7:45
  potential for interaction because it's like Dallan was out
• 7:49
  ahead from the beginning. He stayed out ahead and is like
• 7:51
  OK. Then your attention turns to
• 7:53
  James and Jason. Or I, I tell you this or how
• 7:57
  about all, I think you could have two people, but there
• 8:01
  should always be some special one like like Tyson was the
• 8:07
  special one. I'm saying you could have a a
• 8:09
  guy like that. The celebrity.
• 8:11
  The celebrity spot. Yeah.
• 8:13
  Or you know, like if it's a big time muscle up workout, if it's
• 8:15
  big time muscle up workout, like if Hitler was the special 1, you
• 8:18
  know what I mean? If it's a workout where we don't
• 8:22
  really know what we're doing, so you could have Sevon be out
• 8:25
  there that you think. It would it would help somebody
• 8:27
  can look the weights for Wait, what's the workout?
• 8:30
  The 2020.5 the ring muscle up, wall ball row, pick your own
• 8:35
  adventure. That's the only time we've ever
• 8:37
  done that. Imagine Sevon out there just
• 8:40
  picking his adventure. I'm gonna do 1 ring muscle up,
• 8:42
  then I'll do 7 wall balls. I'm gonna row 3 cows and then he
• 8:46
  just dude, that workout was made for him.
• 8:49
  It was on the minute. That'll be good at abstract
• 8:55
  genius comments. Medications.
• 8:58
  Yeah, let Hiller do a natty or not on Raptis.
• 9:01
  Oh, wait. That's.
• 9:03
  Referring to your. Oh, I remember.
• 9:09
  Bigger, stronger than she had in previous years.
• 9:12
  Yeah, she's also like a woman now.
• 9:15
  She was a child when she we first like.
• 9:18
  I think it's actually that she, if you get her colitis set up
• 9:22
  like fixed or at least under control, like you actually can
• 9:27
  realize the gains that you've been working on, like she's been
• 9:30
  working at a lower capacity forever.
• 9:34
  Yeah. Right.
• 9:35
  And if you can actually start building I mean.
• 9:39
  Dude, she's she's really like her.
• 9:42
  Her abs are like crazy. She's.
• 9:45
  Soon. Yeah, I hope he is.
• 9:48
  That would be amazing. Kobe.
• 9:51
  I want to call him Corby every time.
• 9:53
  Yeah, I yeah, Corby is how I read it too.
• 9:55
  I want. To maybe he'll get an invite to
• 9:58
  the Mayhem Classic. I hope he dies dude, that'd be
• 10:02
  amazing. I bet he rejects it.
• 10:04
  Why throw down and it CrossFit mayhem against the best of the
• 10:09
  best? You got to do the whole workout.
• 10:12
  Maybe he could. Maybe.
• 10:13
  He was allowed to do it at his gym, then he would do it.
• 10:18
  With nobody there. Yeah, multiple cameras.
• 10:21
  Online semi finals so you might be top 10.
• 10:24
  I hope so. All he used to do is be top 11.
• 10:27
  Lee Frazier. That's embarrassing.
• 10:29
  I was beat by Mr. Potato Head. Miss Potato Head was killing it
• 10:34
  so. It was very impressive.
• 10:37
  Who was Mr. Potato? Head, you didn't watch the you
• 10:39
  didn't watch me versus Alexis versus Tanner, did you?
• 10:42
  I I I did. I didn't listen to it.
• 10:44
  Are you Mr. Potato Head? No, there was like a before they
• 10:47
  started it, Mr. Potato Head suit.
• 10:49
  Oh, I didn't see that at all. Man.
• 10:52
  I literally just watched. I literally just watched it for
• 10:54
  your time. Well, yeah, 3 for three.
• 11:00
  I, I didn't know you didn't beat me by that much, but it was, it
• 11:04
  was enough where I'm not going to redo it to try to beat you,
• 11:07
  you know? Yeah.
• 11:11
  At imperfect still with worth it.
• 11:15
  Man, I always liked ghee, but that's really no proof of
• 11:18
  character here. Also, Tyler, what song did you
• 11:22
  listen to for seven straight hours on your on your drive to
• 11:26
  oh was? That when you were like meth
• 11:29
  out. I'll I'll find it.
• 11:31
  Give me one. Second, all right.
• 11:33
  We'll, we'll keep reading the comments.
• 11:35
  Kyle Dotson, I know you guys aren't doctors, but could you
• 11:40
  give your opinions on using CBD, specifically HGRCBD?
• 11:45
  We could. And any bad or good side effects
• 11:47
  you guys have experienced? Right here.
• 11:49
  I've actually been using it more and more.
• 11:52
  I'm just trying out. All of these products have had
• 11:56
  zero side effects and the only side effect is I feel good and
• 11:59
  not in a highway. I've never been high so I don't
• 12:03
  know what that feels like, but I feel good as in my joints can do
• 12:06
  things that normally it takes a little bit of warm enough to get
• 12:09
  to. I don't feel as sore in the
• 12:11
  morning type of stuff like that. It was The song was a classic by
• 12:18
  the Knox featuring Powers. Go pull it up guys.
• 12:22
  Yeah, not familiar with that. I I was hoping it was, and I
• 12:27
  will walk 5000 miles and yeah, I was hoping it was that one.
• 12:34
  Let's see at Zach Bowler, WFP going to buy CrossFit.
• 12:42
  No, I don't believe Shawn Johnson is a part of them.
• 12:45
  I have. No idea but Shawn Johnson is
• 12:49
  going to buy CrossFit maybe? It's.
• 12:54
  Possible. Yeah, I don't think they're
• 12:56
  going to buy CrossFit. That's for.
• 12:58
  Sure. I think she said that she was
• 12:59
  trying She. Got all that?
• 13:01
  No, I'm WFP. Isn't.
• 13:03
  Oh, Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got. All that Olympic money.
• 13:06
  Dude, I yeah, Listen, what's? Like 4.6 million Instagram
• 13:13
  follower I'll. Tell you right now, WFP.
• 13:14
  Is hurt your money? I don't know.
• 13:16
  You know how I know they're hurting?
• 13:18
  Because I get a freaking e-mail every week to be on their media
• 13:21
  team. That's how I know they're hurt.
• 13:23
  You're getting updates, John. You are in the know.
• 13:26
  You're now part of the media, John.
• 13:29
  Did you get asked to see the rule book early?
• 13:32
  Yeah. OK.
• 13:33
  Did you get it? I I don't click on their emails.
• 13:40
  Spam. Folder.
• 13:41
  Yeah, I literally archive it as soon as I see it dude.
• 13:44
  All right. I don't.
• 13:45
  Even want to be, it's almost one of them things like I don't even
• 13:48
  want to be propositioned. What if they're like, hey, we'll
• 13:50
  give you $5000 if you come over here?
• 13:53
  And read this. E-mail.
• 13:54
  That's like $60,000 less than that Ryan gives me.
• 13:58
  I'm not going to choose that, right?
• 14:00
  Yeah, pick and choose. I don't even want to be
• 14:02
  propositioned, you know? We know that's a lie because he
• 14:05
  only gives you the market price that you asked for, which is
• 14:08
  50,000. Dollars fifty year, you are
• 14:09
  correct. I said I would do anything for
• 14:11
  $50,000. You are you are correct.
• 14:13
  Exactly, last one at Sam Jay 6846.
• 14:20
  Spin has gone from being skeptical of the WFP to just a
• 14:25
  full on hater. What did will Morad ever do to
• 14:29
  you? Bro?
• 14:30
  Let me show you how much I support the World Fitness
• 14:33

• 14:51
  The Challenger Challenger The challenge starts tonight.
• 14:55
  Can I still who else has a World Fitness Project T-shirt other
• 14:59
  than you 40 pros? You.
• 15:04
  Exactly. Support.
• 15:07
  I don't know what shows support more than that.
• 15:09
  Right. I don't know.
• 15:10
  So, Sam, Kathy. Yeah, you're all working on that
• 15:17
  spit. Yeah, Kathy.
• 15:19
  Got him, Sam. You just got owned trying to.
• 15:22
  You better watch. Out there, dude.
• 15:24
  I hope you feel so bad about your life after getting owned by
• 15:27
  Spin. There good, great.
• 15:30
  You said so, Sam. Take that.
• 15:34
  Yeah, yeah. Oh man.
• 15:39
  Keeping it real, he was there when that more adverbally
• 15:41
  attacked me. Have you seen Major League when
• 15:44
  they tell the Japanese guy you got to work on your insults man,
• 15:47
  Yes, that's you spin. We got to work on your insults
• 15:50
  all. Right, Jonathan Ortega.
• 15:55
  Anybody want to do a team for WFP with me?
• 15:57
  We'll get let's sign up. I'll get to that in a in a
• 15:59
  minute. If there's still some spots
• 16:01
  left, we'll find out. Well, the CrossFit Open is over.
• 16:06
  Now what? Now, are you asking affiliate
• 16:11
  semifinals for John and I? You think it's that?
• 16:15
  Well, the Mayhem classics. First Mayhem classic.
• 16:17
  Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Prize purse $81,500.
• 16:23
  I was like, dude, what? Excuse me?
• 16:26
  Are we going to talk about how much money Colton and Miriam
• 16:29
  made? That's wild.
• 16:30
  I know there's like less of a prize purse for the CrossFit
• 16:33
  games. I I understand that than it was
• 16:36
  last year. Dude, they both got $25,000 from
• 16:41
  the open. That is crazy.
• 16:43
  It speaks to the programming needs to be better, but still
• 16:46
  good for good for them good for them.
• 16:47
  I don't know mirror him will ever get paid that ever again.
• 16:49
  Like that's why I'm I'm very happy for them.
• 16:53
  I. Mean we.
• 16:55
  I know we love Pyrox. You know how much Hunter could
• 16:59
  win if he wins Hyrox in June? 5000.
• 17:04
  Dollars $25,000 I think is the champion, world champion of
• 17:09
  Hyrox. I think that's what it's been
• 17:10
  historically. I think it's probably the same
• 17:12
  this year, $25,000 prize purse. Colton and Mir Ham just made
• 17:18
  that much by doing 3 open workouts.
• 17:21
  Well, you can even boil it down 9 minutes, 4 minutes and then
• 17:24
  the other one is a is a a 15 minute AMRAP, right?
• 17:27
  So for 28 minutes of work. Yeah, it's pretty solid.
• 17:31
  And then and and Colton made an extra $2000 on Saturday from
• 17:35
  Kill Taylor doing the exact same workout and using that for his
• 17:38
  score. So.
• 17:39
  We'll just put that in there, dude.
• 17:40
  Colton Colton's make it out right now, man.
• 17:43
  Good grief. It's cashing in.
• 17:48
  That was the definition of how you feel is a lie.
• 17:52
  When he, when he came on the show, like fatigue from the
• 17:56
  night before, also got up early to do pig stuff and then I think
• 18:00
  he said he trained before. Well, we all know Colton is the
• 18:03
  king of excuses. You know, he always just makes
• 18:06
  something up while he's dead. He'd be great.
• 18:08
  Did you watch? Did you watch Medeiros and those
• 18:11
  guys? They went live.
• 18:14
  Last night, yeah. And Hopper was trying to game
• 18:18
  the system and be the last one and then got got burned.
• 18:23
  Whoops. Yeah, I think he just I think he
• 18:25
  thought that he just has to beat Taylor.
• 18:27
  And I said this on get with the programming.
• 18:31
  I mean, Hopper is going to do whatever he has to do to win,
• 18:35
  but the second he thinks he's winning, he's he's done.
• 18:37
  He's not going to just go out there to embarrass people.
• 18:41
  And Colton, he didn't know there was this 54 freaking Rottweiler
• 18:47
  coming up behind him, but you know, it's all good.
• 18:52
  I mean for I feel like the the the the workout was fairly
• 19:00
  balanced because of that. Like he moved fast enough on the
• 19:05
  wall walks and the barbell. I mean, I don't think I'd love
• 19:09
  to see what the splits of the barbell time versus Dallin well.
• 19:13
  I think there's just more of a wall walk workout than a rowing
• 19:15
  workout. I don't think the row played.
• 19:18
  I mean, I, I know. That's how Dallow.
• 19:20
  Run right. Why?
• 19:21
  He was on the roller way before them.
• 19:23
  I think he won because of his wall walk speed.
• 19:25
  He had 10 cows in the roller before them.
• 19:27
  He didn't just magically row faster than them.
• 19:29
  I'm saying Fulton versus Dallin. I don't even know if he could
• 19:35
  made it up on the road dude. I think he was just all together
• 19:37
  like yes, yes, he was faster on the rower.
• 19:41
  I bet you if we look at the row splits, it's not 16 seconds.
• 19:44
  I bet you made it up throughout throughout the whole thing.
• 19:49
  I was listening to training Think Tank did a breakdown of
• 19:51
  it. Adam was talking about Dallon's
• 19:54
  deadlifts, cadence and speed and how he broke it up and he was
• 19:57
  like, I just cannot see anybody moving through as fast on that.
• 20:02
  And that he moved fast on everything else.
• 20:04
  But he said Adam said that he made the distance on the
• 20:06
  deadlift, which I thought was interesting.
• 20:09
  And the reason why I go further and saying it's not the row is
• 20:14
  just that Kale Lehman is 5 foot tall and he had like the 6th
• 20:21
  best time. Like, like, I know Colton is is
• 20:24
  super, super fit and he's overcome a whole bunch of stuff
• 20:27
  to be as fit as he is or do the things that he's done.
• 20:31
  But Kale has not. Like, unless it's wheelhouse,
• 20:34
  he's not around for that stuff. And he was around for this.
• 20:38
  And that makes me think that it's not.
• 20:40
  The road didn't play a huge part into it, at least for the men.
• 20:44
  Yeah. I mean, I do think the road
• 20:46
  helped the women because I mean, Olivia, I think they helped
• 20:48
  Olivia be to have the top time in the world, but.
• 20:51
  That was really good, but. Yeah.
• 20:56
  Looking at the leaderboard real quick before we move on to the
• 21:01
  in person qualifying events, Colton Mertens first, Allen
• 21:07
  Pepper second, Jeff Adler third, Austin Hatfield 4th, Kale Lehman
• 21:12
  5th, Jason Hopper 6th. So North America West with
• 21:17
  Colton, then two through 6 North America East.
• 21:21
  Hell yeah. Jay and Ricky oldest Nicholas
• 21:28
  Bedon did his team meet spin 10th place.
• 21:32
  By the way, did y'all know Kale was on my grid league team?
• 21:36
  I did not. Was or is?
• 21:38
  Oh no, he's on my grid league team.
• 21:39
  Oh yeah. So any like high Rep squatting
• 21:43
  dude, I just feel like we're going to already have an
• 21:45
  advantage. There you go.
• 21:48
  How's your team doing? We actually, we are in search of
• 21:53
  some girls. We have had three girls drop out
• 21:55
  for various reasons, a couple of injuries, a couple like just
• 21:58
  there's things popped up. So if anybody knows any girls
• 22:01
  out there, you don't even have to be super, super crazy.
• 22:06
  Just decently fit, decently strong.
• 22:09
  And when I say decently strong, I mean you probably need to
• 22:11
  snatch like 175. I would say that's like the
• 22:14
  strength, OK. How'd you let?
• 22:17
  How'd you let Kelsey Keel get away?
• 22:20
  Dude, I'm not super close with Kelsey.
• 22:21
  I, I, I know we had the same coach and I, I, why are we not?
• 22:26
  Closer. Get closer.
• 22:27
  Yeah, you know, it might be my fault.
• 22:29
  I might have dropped the ball. I just didn't think she would be
• 22:31
  interested and I just didn't think of like to ask her.
• 22:35
  Like we're not. And I'm not saying we're we're
• 22:37
  we don't like each other. That's not the case at all.
• 22:40
  I just, we're just not buddy buddy.
• 22:42
  And I should have asked her. You're right.
• 22:44
  It was my fault. I dropped the ball on that.
• 22:46
  I did. I did get Matt Rattay, though.
• 22:48
  I will take credit for that one. And he's going to be a monster.
• 22:53
  He will win the handstand walk event.
• 22:55
  So Avery, Avery, Avery's also on our team just around these
• 23:00
  strength numbers and decently fit.
• 23:02
  You don't have to be crazy. Listen, I'm on the team, so you
• 23:04
  don't have to be crazy fit. You just need to be decently
• 23:07
  strong. And we're just in search of
• 23:08
  girls right now. We're just short because we had
• 23:10
  a we had a full roster and then like 3 girls dropped off last
• 23:13
  minute. So if anybody's listening and
• 23:15
  you think you might be interested, hit me up.
• 23:18
  This is. Cool boy.
• 23:19
  Don't they tell me to hit up your girl full boy, let like
• 23:23
  have her jump in my DMS, OK? You need to.
• 23:27
  You got to be better than you got to be fitter than Sporty
• 23:29
  Beth. Unfortunately, Torgiani, she
• 23:31
  seems like a great athlete. Do it.
• 23:34
  Send her my way. I'm telling you, Nikki, we need.
• 23:36
  We need. Girls, she, she watches.
• 23:38
  She was on Tyler's team, right? Or John's team, yeah.
• 23:41
  I'm, I'm hit me up girl. I would tell me how to say your
• 23:44
  name right? Torzioni.
• 23:46
  Can say it. Torzioni Chaz Barnes 999.
• 23:50
  Love the show. Thank you, Chaz.
• 23:54
  Let's see. Oh, by the way, I do want to
• 23:56
  brag on this girl really quick. Unfortunately she's not strong
• 23:59
  enough to be on my grid team, but she is one of my athletes
• 24:02
  and she PR D her snatch today by 10 lbs yet 110 Big stuff out of
• 24:10
  Miss Taylor. OK.
• 24:12
  Look missus pool boy Snatch is 175 and power.
• 24:16
  Get get into my phone, miss pool boy.
• 24:20
  I'm ready to receive you. That didn't sound good.
• 24:23
  Go ahead. Just just hit me up.
• 24:25
  Do. Something like that.
• 24:27
  Let's see Maderos down. 11th Colin Bossard. 12th Nick
• 24:36
  Maserati. 17th James OH. We're still doing the Russia
• 24:40
  bullshit I see. We are.
• 24:42
  We do not have a flag. Sorry, I did not know what you
• 24:46
  were talking about. Until George Sterner down in
• 24:49
  21st. Harry Lightfoot.
• 24:54
  So the men's side, Yeah. Women's side.
• 25:00
  Mir Ham beats outfits Agafi by one point.
• 25:05
  Lucy Campbell, Carolyn Prevo Good open.
• 25:09
  It's a weird. It's a weird top of the
• 25:11
  leaderboard this year, I will say.
• 25:13
  Guy, Carolyn was up there last year too.
• 25:15
  It's not weird, Tyler. There's three aerobic tests.
• 25:18
  That's not weird. This is what happens.
• 25:20
  This is what happens. It's not weird.
• 25:22
  Listen, Odo Lundevicam is has a great aerobic capacity, dude.
• 25:27
  She does. You know when she gets the semi
• 25:29
  finals and she's going to get crushed by something and she's
• 25:33
  not there because of one workout?
• 25:35
  Listen, Var Thurman, MO, I'll take her all day if we're just
• 25:39
  running a 5K. But I'm telling you right now,
• 25:42
  whenever things get heavy and things get hard, Mar.
• 25:45
  Thurman's probably not going to be there.
• 25:46
  Mar. Thurman.
• 25:48
  'S I just. It's all I'm saying.
• 25:50
  Alexis will be there, I'm not and everybody's not gone.
• 25:52
  Lucy will be there, but. Pedro Pedro's Lucy.
• 25:57
  Wrong Lucy. Yeah, I'm only calling her MO if
• 26:01
  if I'm friends with Barr. Ragnide her Sarah Sigmund's
• 26:07
  daughter down in 15th place. We're up in 15th place.
• 26:11
  It's pretty good finish pretty good.
• 26:14
  Hannah Hardy team meets Finn 17th place.
• 26:17
  Miss Yolo follow in 18th. Made in Agony's 19th after
• 26:21
  Hiller saved her from 25.1. Just the Smith.
• 26:29
  Poppy, hey. Poppy, Poppy.
• 26:32
  Hey. Now you're telling me Poppy Hey
• 26:35
  is one of the fittest women in the world?
• 26:38
  No offense to you Poppy, but I have never heard your name
• 26:41
  before. She was 111th in the Open last
• 26:44
  year. That's quite the progression.
• 26:47
  What? Was she in the quarterfinals?
• 26:51
  I'm just curious, I don't know offhand.
• 26:53
  Worldwide, she she cracked the top 3000.
• 26:56
  Yeah, can't do nothing. Get out of here.
• 26:58
  I'm sorry, Poppy. She was irrelevant.
• 27:01
  She was on the Team Oceana 12th place watch.
• 27:03
  Poppy, just be the next Tia Toomey.
• 27:05
  As Gary, I say, dude, that that's a crazy improvement.
• 27:10
  That's pretty good. Tia Claire Toomey, not in the
• 27:16
  top page. Well, when you're when you're
• 27:20
  just hitting singles for fun. Listen girl, I love the Aussies,
• 27:24
  I love y'all, but I'm sorry Miss Poppy ain't it?
• 27:29
  Too clear to me, 144th. She doesn't care.
• 27:34
  Page 3. Oh, what is going on?
• 27:37
  You're. Losing it.
• 27:44
  Yeah. Is that her worst finish ever?
• 27:46
  Has to be Nah. Maybe, maybe early days.
• 27:49
  Yeah, I I was thinking early days.
• 27:53
  Her very first year in 2014. Yeah.
• 27:58
  What? Why was she so bad in 20230?
• 28:02
  Pregnant. Nevermind she.
• 28:03
  Had a baby inside of her, Tyler. Yep, forgot about that.
• 28:09
  Sorry Willow. Yeah, then she came back.
• 28:15
  So that is the Open Mayhem classic.
• 28:20
  We already talked about the the prize money, but some new
• 28:25
  athletes Kale Layman is in they. Sure, send him a ticket.
• 28:31
  So Tudor Magda is out and Lindsay Lane is in, Yeah.
• 28:37
  Crash Athlete. WWTPH athlete Try.
• 28:44
  That again. Yeah, I'm.
• 28:46
  Sorry, I don't remember. Devon never gets it right.
• 28:50
  HGRCBD yes it takes me a while to get it.
• 28:57
  Lindsay replace, I have it here. Amy Kringle is out.
• 29:05
  Why did she that's? I'm sure because of travel and
• 29:08
  it's not she doesn't want to, she knows she's not going to
• 29:12
  win. Dude, mayhem.
• 29:15
  Like the women's field is not as stacked as the men's field.
• 29:17
  I think she would. It's $81,000 purse.
• 29:20
  Like I think she'd make money. I think there are three athletes
• 29:23
  who are going to beat her for sure, Alexis.
• 29:26
  I'll give you that. We'll go to the list on the list
• 29:30
  here in a second real quick. Prize money 15,000 for 1st,
• 29:34
  10,000 for 2nd, 5000 for 3rd. Last or 10th place gets $250 if
• 29:40
  you're in the bottom half. See ya the list of athletes.
• 29:47
  Danielle Alexis. This is all ranked by their open
• 29:49
  finish. Abby never, never mind.
• 29:52
  I I didn't, Yeah. After that.
• 29:57
  After that, though, I think she's good.
• 29:58
  So 4, that's five people. I I think she can get 5th place.
• 30:03
  It's not good enough. I put her in the same category
• 30:05
  as Hayley Adams right now and Pisa Goffy.
• 30:07
  Go go ahead. And what's 5th place to get?
• 30:10
  5 or 5th place, yeah. 25. $100 it pays for your plane ticket.
• 30:16
  Yeah, I get ya. OK, I get it.
• 30:22
  Going down the list, the red ones did not finish inside the
• 30:27
  top 1% of the CrossFit Open and are now ineligible to qualify
• 30:31
  for the CrossFit Game. So Gmail.
• 30:33
  Harris finished 1500 and 61st. He's out.
• 30:38
  Jack Farler did not compete. Paige Powers down in four
• 30:41
  thousandth. Victoria Campos and Matilda
• 30:43
  Gardens did not compete. Sahar Kaya.
• 30:46
  So there were 95,230 dudes. Snuck in at the last hour dude.
• 30:52
  She made it by 8 spots. Go say hair.
• 30:58
  So I don't know what her her plans are for the actual season,
• 31:02
  but she is. She is officially qualified and
• 31:06
  now can do the in affiliate semifinal if she so chooses, or
• 31:10
  qualify through Rogue. We have no idea what's going on
• 31:13
  with her, like why she would place that low.
• 31:16
  I know I don't have AP CS stuck out of commenting in our chat
• 31:20
  because of one of you guys blocked her and I have no idea
• 31:23
  how to turn him off so. I didn't.
• 31:25
  I didn't block him. It was Tyler, I think I.
• 31:27
  Don't know who it was. Why didn't you block him?
• 31:32
  He was pissing me off. There's a way to unblock people
• 31:35
  because I it is Magnus and we figured it.
• 31:37
  Out it also took me like 3 weeks to figure it out so.
• 31:39
  This is why I should never own a wrench for any of you people who
• 31:42
  I know who have podcasts. That's crazy that we have this
• 31:47
  power that we don't. Know how to do we?
• 31:49
  Don't have to undo. It that's a while well.
• 31:52
  We could take them out in in stream yard but we don't know
• 31:55
  how to put them back in via. YouTube.
• 31:59
  We should probably learn that one day.
• 32:01
  Maybe. Or just don't piss off Tyler or
• 32:04
  John, Yeah? Don't do that, Magnus.
• 32:06
  I'm really hard to piss off though, man.
• 32:08
  Like it's I get called so many names.
• 32:10
  Like you got to be a special character, Magnus.
• 32:14
  Magnus. We need to fix this.
• 32:18
  Larry Young's blocked from paycheck.
• 32:20
  I don't know what. That's.
• 32:21
  I definitely, I definitely didn't do.
• 32:23
  I'm all right. Hang on, let me go figure this
• 32:25
  out. I'll be right back.
• 32:28
  My mom snuck into my computer and did it.
• 32:32
  You're giving too much money to them.
• 32:37
  Look at the this list. How many on the men's side have
• 32:41
  a shot at actually earning a qualifying spot?
• 32:44
  Meaning top 2. Yeah, Colton.
• 32:47
  So yeah, one, we'll go to the line, same names.
• 32:49
  Colton. Yep, Austin.
• 32:52
  Yes. Kale.
• 32:53
  Nope. No.
• 32:55
  Yep. Yes.
• 32:56
  Roman. Yep.
• 32:57
  Yes, Sprague. Yep.
• 32:59
  Yes. Sammy.
• 33:00
  Nope. Negatory sterner.
• 33:02
  Nope. Nope, Mr. Rochelle May.
• 33:05
  Nope. Rosama.
• 33:07
  I'll say no to this but dude I bet I he's going to be my pick
• 33:11
  to win heavy Isabel though like he's he he will win the one of
• 33:16
  the 1st 2 events but but I still say no.
• 33:18
  Isn't it event too? Yeah, I think so.
• 33:20
  Yeah. Yeah, you could.
• 33:24
  Just you. I think actually there I think
• 33:27
  Rich said the top the the heats are going to be based off of
• 33:30
  this ranking too, so. Yeah, Austin has the time to
• 33:35
  beat, but I mean, the the snatch ladder, he had a time to beat
• 33:39
  and he couldn't beat it. Nick Matthews, Seth.
• 33:42
  Fabian. Spencer, Jorge.
• 33:44
  Nope. Alex Venio.
• 33:48
  Luke Parker. No.
• 33:50
  Racy. No, and I think Luke will be
• 33:52
  good. I'm not saying he won't be good.
• 33:53
  I think Alex will be good, but not like those guys.
• 33:56
  Luke could have an outside shot depending on not.
• 33:59
  Top 2, not top 2. Luke's the guy that can make it
• 34:02
  like with five spots and he's the fifth spot with hits the
• 34:05
  home run at the end like Cole Saker a la So Cole Sager.
• 34:09
  So there's five, like, not top 2.
• 34:11
  You know what I mean? Top Two's a different thing.
• 34:13
  Yep. So Colton, Austin, Jason, Roman,
• 34:17
  James Five women's side fee Oh Avery Am I the only one who was
• 34:23
  surprised at Haley's lackluster performance in 25.1?
• 34:27
  Listen, Avery Haley's slightly bigger girl now.
• 34:32
  She's much happier, but she's lost a little bit of her aerobic
• 34:36
  ability. A little bit, but a little.
• 34:38
  Bit to it though, in the mayhem behind the scenes, yeah, she's
• 34:43
  that. She never tries to.
• 34:45
  I mean, she's basically out of shape every open and this is
• 34:49
  actually her best open in the last few years I think.
• 34:52
  Yeah, man, I'm not. You can tell.
• 34:53
  I mean, there's nothing wrong with it, but you can tell.
• 34:55
  Like, it's just not. That's not what like, the peak
• 34:58
  Haley looks like. I'm not.
• 35:01
  I'm not too worried yet. Let's see the women's side fee.
• 35:04
  Sure. Outside shot I'll put, I'll put
• 35:08
  her in there, but she's got to have like B.
• 35:11
  She's in the. Competition of all competitions.
• 35:13
  Danielle, Yeah, yes. Alexis, yes.
• 35:16
  Manon. B Group.
• 35:20
  Emily. No.
• 35:21
  B Group. Emily.
• 35:22
  Emily Wolf Brickwells. Yep.
• 35:27
  Abigail Donut? Yes.
• 35:28
  Lindsay Lane. Nope.
• 35:30
  Claudia. No, I put her in I, I put her in
• 35:34
  fee in the fee group I like. Let's call it the fee group.
• 35:38
  The. Fee group, OK.
• 35:39
  So 6. Haley.
• 35:41
  Yep. No, she's in the fee group,
• 35:44
  dude. Fee group.
• 35:45
  I'm going to say no, Shelby, No. No, they keep coming.
• 35:54
  Oh man. It's the peace sign, that's it.
• 35:59
  Nobody else. Yeah, that's it.
• 36:01
  No, Sahir. How many balloons are in here?
• 36:04
  No 77, So 7 people. And I would say really 4.
• 36:11
  But those other three, like the programming was just perfect for
• 36:15
  them. And one of the other girls is
• 36:17
  sick. One of the other girls has a
• 36:19
  mental breakdown. I don't know who that would be.
• 36:22
  But and then you round up top two.
• 36:24
  I, it's, I'm not, I'm saying it's not impossible, but just
• 36:28
  not likely. And then the four girls I would
• 36:30
  I would say Abby, Brooke, Alexis and Danielle would be your main
• 36:35
  4. Do.
• 36:38
  You and I put Alexis at the top of that and I don't.
• 36:41
  Know how? Yeah.
• 36:42
  I don't know how many events there are, but it's obviously
• 36:44
  only two days. Did they say 6?
• 36:46
  I don't know if they've ever. I don't.
• 36:47
  Think they've they've said. I guess I'm just assuming.
• 36:51
  So let's say if there's six events over 2 days, after three
• 36:56
  events, if you're like in 6th place, do you kind of just pack
• 37:00
  it in like? No, dude, if you're in 6th place
• 37:03
  with three, with three. Events.
• 37:06
  Let's say if it's like, let's say Danielle and Alexis are for
• 37:09
  1/2 and you're down there in 6th, Let's say you're Brooke
• 37:11
  Wells, you're in 6th place. Oh dude, you got to be way lower
• 37:14
  man. That's you have half of the
• 37:16
  competition left. But you're behind Danielle and
• 37:18
  Alexis. Doesn't matter, they can have a
• 37:20
  bad event too. Danielle could just freaking
• 37:22
  quit at any moment. I say yeah.
• 37:25
  I say you'd just go home. I'm not I'm not saying I'm not
• 37:28
  saying she will like don't even, but like like no, you have half
• 37:34
  of the competition. Like what happens when Alexis
• 37:37
  gets sick, you know? How far?
• 37:39
  How far is? A heavy back squat workout that
• 37:41
  comes out. But but listen, how far down do
• 37:44
  you stop? Do you stop caring?
• 37:48
  I after the first day, well the. Cast Sunday morning.
• 37:51
  Show I would say if. You're if you're not in the last
• 37:53
  heat. We don't know.
• 37:55
  I mean, you're saying top ten? Yeah, top ten because we have no
• 37:58
  idea how big. The heat is sure, sure, sure.
• 38:00
  I think top ten, I think you're selling yourself short if you're
• 38:04
  if you're in freaking 8th place, 100% you can get second place.
• 38:08
  It just takes a really bad day. But if the if the top if the
• 38:12
  bottom 10 are checked out, the gap that you can now advance
• 38:18
  like even if Danielle has a blow up or.
• 38:21
  Yeah, it's just gone. Like you don't, you don't have
• 38:24
  that room to make up a lot of points because the back half is
• 38:27
  like, well. Don't argue.
• 38:29
  The back half knows they're going to be in the back half no
• 38:31
  matter what and they're just, they're just competing.
• 38:34
  Well, they're competing. They're still competing.
• 38:36
  They still want to put their best foot forward.
• 38:38
  It's like Nina Brockovich, right?
• 38:40
  We saw her at Crash. She was pretty irrelevant.
• 38:43
  And then there was a handstand walking workout that she lit the
• 38:45
  world on fire. Like you can't tell me that if
• 38:48
  the handstand walking workout's in the 4th event and Nina
• 38:51
  Bragnovich is in 15th place, she's not going to try to light
• 38:54
  the world on fire. Like, and I think all of the
• 38:57
  everybody's got stuff like that. We see it, we see it.
• 39:00
  CrossFit Games all the time though.
• 39:02
  Like that's how Sager would move up from like 25th to 14th.
• 39:07
  At the game, he would. At the games, 'cause it was like
• 39:10
  the last day. I mean, there's and there's
• 39:11
  prize money up for grabs like they're just, they're out.
• 39:15
  But that's they're not 2 days. It's not 2 days.
• 39:17
  I don't think people get checked out from six events.
• 39:20
  The games, you're tired, you're sore.
• 39:24
  Like it's a freaking war that you're going through.
• 39:27
  And then on Sunday you don't try as hard.
• 39:30
  You're just getting through it because you're kind of where
• 39:32
  you're at, you're going. There to win a you're there to
• 39:35
  go win a spot. And if these I have no idea what
• 39:38
  they're doing, like if they're going to do the the qualifiers,
• 39:42
  like what their plan is for everything else, like if you're
• 39:47
  out of it, like if your sole goal is to qualify for the games
• 39:53
  you check out a little bit, a little.
• 39:55
  I just, I think I would just be. I would.
• 39:57
  Just be trying to hit home runs then like I would just be trying
• 40:01
  to get camera time. Have like try hard in events but
• 40:04
  you know, just try to do fun shit at that point.
• 40:10
  That's fair. Why are you games?
• 40:15
  I buy it but. Two days I.
• 40:16
  Just don't think there's going to be as much movement.
• 40:20
  Good grief, these balloons. I need to figure out how to make
• 40:24
  that something else. What if I can make that like
• 40:25
  milk? Milk.
• 40:26
  Like Ovaltine that comes around. Milk or HGRCB?
• 40:32
  D Oh dude, he just has some CBD plan up and I was like, listen
• 40:34
  guys, I mean well, and then just CBD flies up.
• 40:40
  Are you trying to set the premise that we're just going to
• 40:43
  see people kind of taking their time?
• 40:46
  He's saying if somebody's in 7th place they can't make up the gap
• 40:50
  because there's not enough people trying to middle the top
• 40:52
  two people even if they have a bad event.
• 40:55
  I'm telling you 2 days, 6 events, you're on crack.
• 40:58
  Everybody's competing as hard as they can the whole time. 6
• 41:02
  events is not enough to freaking like make you not want to try
• 41:07
  now 13 events whenever you have like the capital is one of them
• 41:11
  and that is not going to be a mayhem workout that's like that,
• 41:14
  that's life draining like that's for you.
• 41:17
  They're way, way, way different. OK, we'll see.
• 41:23
  Look, missus pool boy Vegas Venom is trying to get her to
• 41:27
  join, so you better act quick John.
• 41:30
  I. Wait, what do you think I'm
• 41:32
  doing right now, dude? Hey, it doesn't.
• 41:34
  It doesn't matter where that team is, Julia.
• 41:37
  All of the events are in are in Florida and Texas, all of the
• 41:41
  matches. It doesn't matter where the team
• 41:43
  is held up. Misses Spin.
• 41:46
  The boys tricked me once to give me a mustache on Zoom.
• 41:50
  She couldn't figure out how to turn it off.
• 41:53
  That's a good joke. There we go.
• 41:56
  Avery's got her. Avery.
• 41:57
  Avery Avery. Hooker up, girl.
• 41:58
  Let's go. Look at this.
• 42:00
  Look at this. I'm I'm Julia.
• 42:02
  You're going to be my favorite person.
• 42:04
  I don't even know you I'm but I'm going to love you.
• 42:06
  It's going to be amazing. Recruiting North America East
• 42:11
  Syndicate Crown Sivan podcast is doing the the live stream.
• 42:16
  Yeah, I'm so excited about this. He like finally hit me today.
• 42:20
  Just today. Yeah, well, I mean like I've
• 42:23
  been getting more and more excited, but like I'm geared up
• 42:25
  now I'm. Ready.
• 42:26
  I got to, I got to start doing research and the people that I
• 42:29
  don't know, like I got to know Zane Paris, what that guy's
• 42:32
  about. But it's it's based off of in
• 42:36
  affiliate semifinal, right the final.
• 42:38
  No, it's based off the open. So what is said is what's going
• 42:41
  on? The top 10 or top 20 from the
• 42:44
  Open qualify and top 10 from the in affiliate semifinal who have
• 42:50
  not already qualified. Got you.
• 42:52
  Got you. OK.
• 42:53
  So let's say, let's say in this this case, let's say Hopper and
• 42:59
  Hatfield qualify at Mayhem. They're out, they cannot go
• 43:05
  compete and then they'll backfill.
• 43:08
  They'll be 12 from the in affiliate semifinal.
• 43:11
  And decent chance like who's doing Mayhem Syndicate like
• 43:14
  Hopper Roman Austin decent chance two of these people are
• 43:20
  not are not going to be in it anymore I.
• 43:23
  Would say 100% chance. I wouldn't say 100% chance
• 43:27
  there. There's a lot of names that
• 43:29
  Mayhem classic. I wouldn't say 100% chance, but
• 43:33
  and then. I.
• 43:35
  Mean Alan and Jeff were probably your leading people then when
• 43:37
  you say. Yeah.
• 43:41
  You got you got Scott Panchick down there in 17th.
• 43:43
  Can we see him throw down? Negative it'd.
• 43:49
  Be cool if you went though. For sure, yeah.
• 43:52
  Anthony Yim, I think is on the team, proven or proven team.
• 43:55
  So he may, may or not compete. And then on the women's side,
• 44:01
  which way do I go? This way?
• 44:05
  FISA. Goffy, Carolyn Prevo.
• 44:08
  Also a lot of names that are active, main, classic.
• 44:15
  Which is good because I hope. Caitlin Sanders needs to get in
• 44:18
  there. I want her to get in.
• 44:20
  Dude. Yeah, down there in 20 seconds.
• 44:24
  Way to pull it off, Caitlin. Well, I don't.
• 44:26
  I don't. Yeah, one of the.
• 44:27
  I don't think he's back filling though from the open.
• 44:31
  Oh, so he's just. It's through the in affiliate
• 44:33
  semifinal. I'll see what I'll see what
• 44:36
  strings. We need to get Caitlin in a but
• 44:38
  I don't. She got gypped man.
• 44:40
  But I think, well, I think she's going to know her Cal.
• 44:42
  So she was the one at TFX who went to the January competition
• 44:47
  one, right? Yeah.
• 44:49
  And then, because she was not in the West, had her invited
• 44:54
  whatever taken away? And she knows she's not going to
• 44:57
  the Games. She just wants to compete in one
• 44:59
  of the in the she wants to live competition.
• 45:02
  Now The thing is like in affiliate semifinals, like all
• 45:05
  these people that are above her doesn't matter if they beat her
• 45:09
  in affiliate semifinal, like they're out.
• 45:11
  It's the next it's the next 10 that that are in there.
• 45:14
  So she still has a good chance of qualifying.
• 45:17
  Lindsay Lane, why she's not able to compete, it's because she's
• 45:22
  helping test the workouts with Mr. Jr.
• 45:25
  So which is probably why she got a invite to Bay him to give her
• 45:29
  a chance at qualifying that way. That's awesome.
• 45:32
  Taylor's not competing. Yes, Taylor is also not going to
• 45:37
  compete at Syndicate even if he qualified.
• 45:40
  So yeah. And then there's also teams that
• 45:43
  are there. Hopefully those teams get some
• 45:48
  reps by doing. Yeah, sign up now and.
• 45:52
  Then the community team events are available as well outside of
• 45:56
  just the elites. So not a games ticket but
• 46:01
  definitely a prep for for that. So it's going to be knowing
• 46:06
  that, knowing the setup of how the how the flooring's going to
• 46:08
  look and like how the venue's going to look, it's going to be
• 46:11
  like one of the coolest versions of definitely Syndicate we've
• 46:15
  ever seen. But maybe it all of all the
• 46:17
  semifinals. I've never been to syndicate so
• 46:19
  my first. It's it.
• 46:21
  I really dig the feel of Syndicate.
• 46:23
  It's a cool space. Dude, I'm so, I'm so excited.
• 46:26
  I'm, I'm, I am nervous that I'm going to say something I'm not
• 46:32
  supposed to say, but I'm so excited.
• 46:33
  It's OK. We'll coach you through it.
• 46:35
  We'll get through it, John. Well, you know it when you're on
• 46:39
  the like, I'm not Chase, you know what I mean?
• 46:42
  And I'm not Bill. Things just kind of fly out
• 46:44
  without me knowing what's happening.
• 46:46
  And. It's meditate every morning.
• 46:48
  And then it's too late. Once it's been said, it's too
• 46:50
  late. Be Chase.
• 46:52
  Be. Chased listen.
• 46:53
  Listen, people are going to be on the line with like game spots
• 46:57
  on the line. Time is going to be like.
• 46:59
  Dude, Hopper freaking sucks, man.
• 47:01
  Like, and I'm just going to be live on air, yeah.
• 47:04
  Yeah. Everybody knows you don't fly
• 47:06
  directly into Knoxville. Never do that.
• 47:10
  Where do you fly into Tyler? Chattanooga.
• 47:14
  Nashville and. Then Lexington, North Atlanta.
• 47:18
  Spen will pick. Atlanta in Nashville.
• 47:20
  Yeah, it's just like a freaking 4 hour drive.
• 47:23
  What's the problem? It's like 3 hours.
• 47:24
  You'd have to rent a car in Atlanta to go 4 out.
• 47:27
  That makes no. Sense Atlanta's a lot, Nate do
• 47:29
  not go to Atlanta, do not Chattanooga, Nashville.
• 47:34
  I think, John, what is it time? Is I want, I'm excited.
• 47:39
  If it is, are we doing it? Games Mountain.
• 47:41
  Games freaking mountain. Guys, this is the biggest shake
• 47:45
  up. It just made sense to me.
• 47:47
  It's the biggest shake up we've ever had.
• 47:50
  I don't know you know this, but this is this is for the 2025
• 47:54
  CrossFit game. So if you did not do the open,
• 47:57
  you cannot be on the mountain. So we've had a lot of new faces,
• 48:01
  a lot of faces decided to do something else.
• 48:04
  That's fine. I don't know where they will be,
• 48:07
  if they're on the mountain or if they're somewhere else.
• 48:09
  But let's go ahead, man, Let's go are.
• 48:12
  We are we ready to get cancelled?
• 48:13
  Yeah, no, we're. On there, it's been a couple
• 48:16
  weeks. We might as well Rev up the
• 48:17
  engine again. We're on here.
• 48:18
  No, no, we're fine. All right, here we go.
• 48:20
  John, you ready? I'm.
• 48:22
  Ready. All right, we're going to start
• 48:24
  with the people that decided to do something else.
• 48:27
  Go ahead and reveal their faces. John, your intro is all wrong.
• 48:31
  It's welcome to woke freaking people.
• 48:34
  Is it? Go ahead and reveal their faces.
• 48:35
  Go ahead. You want You want all of them or
• 48:37
  just? The first of all, I want them
• 48:38
  all. We're.
• 48:39
  Going to be about it. The woke freaking people.
• 48:41
  All right. Oh, I didn't even know what said
• 48:43
  that. I meant it's supposed to say the
• 48:45
  World Fitness project. Somehow it says woke freaking
• 48:48
  people. I thought it was meant to say
• 48:49
  the World Fitness Project. That's was.
• 48:52
  That your fault. I don't know.
• 48:54
  I did not mean to do to do that. I truly didn't mean to do that.
• 48:56
  But you know, I know Saxon Panchick's not competing, but
• 48:59
  he's doing something. Nobody knows what it is, but
• 49:02
  he's doing something. Laura Horvath, Guy Velner,
• 49:06
  they've all made their decisions.
• 49:08
  It is what it is. Emma Lawson hurts me dearly.
• 49:11
  I'm still team Emma Lawson. Don't take this the wrong way,
• 49:14
  Emma. You're the only one that this
• 49:16
  hurts me to do. Everybody else, you know, you're
• 49:19
  fine. You're good people.
• 49:21
  You're just, you know, woke freaking people.
• 49:23
  So that's where this these, these are all these people have
• 49:26
  fallen off the mountain. If they weren't there already,
• 49:29
  at least they got a new spot in this in this little thing.
• 49:32
  All right, now let's move on. To Copenhagen, though, let's.
• 49:35
  Move on to the people who matter, the you actually.
• 49:39
  Want to go to the mountain now? Yeah, the rich tapestry of
• 49:42
  fitness that is the Games Mountain.
• 49:45
  Let's start. Go ahead and start with the
• 49:47
  first line. We always start with the.
• 49:50
  Bottom spin just I don't know why you're we got actually new.
• 49:54
  Faces. I tried, I tried starting from
• 49:58
  the top and I got. People were mad at me.
• 50:01
  It's interesting. This line right here is the line
• 50:04
  of inconsistency and either on the come up or we just don't
• 50:11
  know what to expect, but you deserve to be here.
• 50:14
  You've earned a right to be here.
• 50:17
  But yes, some of you women are here because the other women
• 50:20
  decided that they didn't want to do CrossFit anymore.
• 50:24
  And that's so we got Yonakowski didn't make the Games last year.
• 50:27
  Still one of the fittest guys in the world.
• 50:30
  Quant. We know he's got an up and down
• 50:32
  roller coaster like no other, just depending on what
• 50:34
  respiratory illness he decides to have that year.
• 50:38
  Altitude sickness. You know, sometimes he can climb
• 50:40
  very high and then he gets altitude sickness and then he
• 50:43
  goes back down. Paige Simenza.
• 50:45
  This is where she was before. I'm not moving her new faces.
• 50:48
  Claudia Gluck. Actually, I think he didn't have
• 50:50
  Paige Simenza anywhere on the list.
• 50:52
  No, she's been there before though.
• 50:53
  She's been there before. Amy Kringle and Fee Sagafi.
• 50:57
  Fee was super impressive in the Open.
• 50:59
  I thought she was going to win the Open.
• 51:00
  I don't care about the Open that much, but.
• 51:04
  Good job. Honestly, nobody better here to
• 51:07
  put fees fees on this spot. OK, And then Haley, I know the
• 51:12
  open sucky. You're still fit enough to be on
• 51:14
  the mountain. I know you're going to be way
• 51:16
  better at the games than you are in the open.
• 51:18
  All right, next, next row all. Right.
• 51:22
  I like that Ortega is talking about this is the logistics of
• 51:25
  mountains. This is This is the row.
• 51:28
  Of of of some women. Some freaking bad.
• 51:32
  Beautiful, fit women. Lots.
• 51:36
  Of women on here, they're BA women.
• 51:38
  How do we have two guys in? That just means like, not a lot
• 51:42
  of women are high on the mountain.
• 51:43
  The, the, the guys this year have had more ambition than the
• 51:47
  women have. I will say that like, Ariel
• 51:49
  Lowen was on the fence on if she wanted to climb or not.
• 51:52
  We still don't quite know, but she started it.
• 51:55
  So we're going to, we're going to keep her there.
• 51:57
  She belongs there. Brooke Wells, Maddie Sturt,
• 52:00
  Emily Rolf, they've been living on this row.
• 52:03
  I think Grace Walton, Gracie Walton and Abby Doe Mint are
• 52:07
  climbing up a row. This is this is my beautiful
• 52:10
  line. If you're on this line, you are
• 52:12
  beautiful women. You're super fit.
• 52:14
  That doesn't mean the women that are on the line aren't
• 52:16
  beautiful, but I, I like this line as it is constructed.
• 52:20
  OK, next row. Next.
• 52:23
  Row Quite the drop for Emily who finished on the podium.
• 52:27
  How much did Madeline start move?
• 52:31
  Did she move at all? One row.
• 52:32
  One row. OK, Yeah.
• 52:35
  Next row dudes, whole bunch of dudes on.
• 52:38
  This one, these are these are your guys.
• 52:40
  We got all girls and we got all guys.
• 52:42
  Keep. Them separated.
• 52:43
  Well, this, this is like about who I think where I think you're
• 52:46
  going to finish, right? So like the women on the bottom,
• 52:49
  the women on the row below, I'm thinking like places 5 to 15.
• 52:54
  OK, these guys, I'm thinking 10 top 10.
• 52:58
  I don't know where at in the top ten.
• 53:00
  You can put place them in whatever order you want.
• 53:02
  I'm thinking top ten. And yes, that means I think
• 53:05
  Colton Merrins is going to be in the top ten this year.
• 53:07
  It would be I I think it was a fluke last year, dude.
• 53:13
  Colton is improved every single year.
• 53:15
  I think he was as fit as he's ever been last year and he just
• 53:18
  it just didn't happen for him. Just watch out dude.
• 53:22
  I feel like Colton is about to make some such crazy noise.
• 53:26
  Roman, I can't really move him up.
• 53:27
  I can't really move him down. He's kind of just like he hasn't
• 53:31
  really done much. He skipped out on water Palooza.
• 53:35
  And yeah, I can't move him up, can't move him down.
• 53:39
  Justin saying anything? Didn't he have like surgery?
• 53:41
  I don't care what he had. He didn't do anything.
• 53:43
  OK, He's Justin. Same thing.
• 53:48
  All Justin has done is the open and and started a podcast.
• 53:51
  So like, I can't really do anything with him.
• 53:54
  You know what they say? Here's our podcast.
• 53:56
  Here's the interesting one that I that I'm interested in right
• 54:00
  here. What's that?
• 54:02
  Ricky, explain yourself John, 'cause I feel like he was one or
• 54:06
  two rows up before. Yeah, I just feel like he just,
• 54:13
  he just hasn't done anything lately.
• 54:15
  What has he done? High rocks?
• 54:18
  How was how'd he do in the open? Cool, he's at the row.
• 54:21
  He needs to be. That's what you got for me.
• 54:23
  High rocks is where he needs to be.
• 54:24
  You asked. What he's been doing, I told you
• 54:26
  what he's. Doing, you say, well, I say what
• 54:27
  he's been doing. You say high rocks, he's in the
• 54:29
  right row. He doesn't deserve to be.
• 54:31
  Proven. He's been doing proven.
• 54:33
  That's cool. Competitions.
• 54:36
  Yeah. This is the row that Ricky
• 54:39
  should be in now. Yes, Ricky is capable of
• 54:41
  climbing higher. Maybe.
• 54:43
  For example, I don't think Colton's capable of climbing
• 54:47
  higher right now. OK, I think Colton's where he
• 54:49
  belongs, But I would be, I would be surprised if he was able to
• 54:53
  climb higher than this. Same for Jay.
• 54:56
  I think Jay is where he belongs. I would be surprised if he
• 54:59
  climbed higher than that. Ricky and Roman are fully
• 55:03
  capable of climbing higher. Until you do it, I can't put you
• 55:06
  there. Ricky was my guy last year and
• 55:10
  he did nothing. Did you?
• 55:12
  I know he was hurt. I know a whole bunch of things
• 55:14
  happen. I don't care.
• 55:16
  Go ahead. Did you watch around the white
• 55:18
  board? When today I did, I did not.
• 55:22
  What happened? Mr. Delante said Colton will win
• 55:26
  the 2025 and 2026 CrossFit Games.
• 55:29
  That's why that's why I tell you is not is not the senior analyst
• 55:33
  of CrossFit and that's why he'll he'll never be that because if
• 55:36
  you. Don't agree with him, you're
• 55:37
  just stupid I think is what he said too.
• 55:39
  I think you know, Listen, I, I hope the athletes know this.
• 55:44
  I am honest to a fault. I'm not going to be nice to you
• 55:48
  because you're so fit. I don't care what you think.
• 55:52
  I don't care what you feel, I just want to be correct.
• 55:55
  I want to be right and most of the time it works out how I have
• 56:01
  set forth. OK, Now I'm not perfect.
• 56:04
  Obviously nobody picked James Sprague to win the games, but I
• 56:07
  am never going to say Colton's going to win the games because I
• 56:09
  want to suck up to Colton. When I think Colton's going to
• 56:12
  win the games, I'll say Colton's going to win the games.
• 56:15
  Right now, I don't think Colton's going to win the games.
• 56:17
  I think Colton's top 10, and I will say that to his face here
• 56:21
  it I don't think you're going to win the games.
• 56:25
  That's what I would say to his face, OK?
• 56:28
  I'm not going to suck up to him like Bryson, OK?
• 56:31
  I'm OK with the physics part of this statement, the geometry.
• 56:34
  Really throws me. Off Hey, honestly he's probably
• 56:39
  got better geometry than most because of the physics, but I'm.
• 56:43
  Sure, he was great at geometry. I was really hoping he was in
• 56:46
  the comments because I was like, I was hoping he like had
• 56:48
  something mean to say or something right there.
• 56:50
  But go ahead next row. Next one.
• 56:54
  I I can't put Austin higher. I want to put him higher.
• 56:59
  I want to, I want to, but the mountain is fair, right?
• 57:03
  And I can't put him higher than Jason, Jeff or Dallin until he
• 57:11
  beats Jason, Jeff or Dallin. I just can't bring myself to do
• 57:15
  it. I want to.
• 57:17
  I think he's capable. Obviously, I'm the biggest
• 57:22
  proponent of Hatfield, but until he does it, I cannot do it.
• 57:26
  And then so he is where he belongs.
• 57:29
  Some might think he's still higher than he needs to be, but
• 57:33
  it is what it is. Danielle, Brandon Alexander,
• 57:36
  Alexis Straptis, they are on this row, girls.
• 57:39
  I don't know if she is doing the games.
• 57:41
  I don't. She's real skinny right now.
• 57:43
  Real skinny. So I don't know, I kind of think
• 57:47
  she's going to we'll get, we'll get on to you in a minute.
• 57:49
  But if she's not doing the games, this is the best you're
• 57:53
  ever going to do Like like you're not going to have a
• 57:56
  better shot to win the games than this year, right?
• 57:59
  Laura's got better things to do Tia's out.
• 58:03
  This is the year y'all need to make a push.
• 58:06
  I'm going to say Alexis Raptors in the in the lead to Tyler
• 58:09
  Chagrin, but I think it would be I think it would be between you
• 58:13
  3 Ariel Lowen and Brooke Wells could probably take a step up
• 58:16
  into that. But I have to see it to I have
• 58:18
  to see it to put them there. They've been kind of slacking
• 58:21
  whether they're sick or not. You got to show it to me.
• 58:25
  I'm surprised by Gazan. What has she done?
• 58:28
  What has she done recently that makes you say that she is 2
• 58:32
  layers above Emily Rolf? Nothing.
• 58:39
  Or or Ariel Lowen. Nothing.
• 58:43
  I think whenever you have a CrossFit Games, it's
• 58:45
  well-rounded. Those two will take a hit and
• 58:48
  Alex Kazan will not take that hit.
• 58:50
  I think whenever we actually lift weights, there's nobody
• 58:53
  better. I think that if she just
• 58:56
  continues to improve her, I see the potential in Alex.
• 59:00
  OK. Alex was what, 4th place one
• 59:02
  year, fourth or fifth one year and then she had a down year,
• 59:05
  right? Correct.
• 59:07
  I don't think she's ever 4th. 5th maybe?
• 59:12
  Jeez, these these signs. OK the this is.
• 59:16
  Literally never happened on 8th. She went, she went from 21st to
• 59:20
  5th place, OK. And then 2024 happened.
• 59:24
  You know how much stock I put into 2024?
• 59:27
  None. OK, the I mean I don't, I don't,
• 59:32
  I will respect what you did in 2024.
• 59:35
  I do not put stocking to it into your fitness and you guys know
• 59:37
  why and everybody knows what. Do you put more stock in 24
• 59:40
  games or the 25 open? 24 games.
• 59:43
  Come on now. That's ridiculous.
• 59:46
  That's ridiculous. The open is so low in that totem
• 59:48
  pole. It's not.
• 59:48
  You should not even. You shouldn't.
• 59:50
  Even here. I tell you what me and Tyler
• 59:51
  will do the 2024 CrossFit Games and we'll see who comes out on
• 59:54
  top. I don't.
• 59:56
  I don't. Yeah.
• 59:56
  OK. Right now, right now, right now.
• 1:00:01
  John has zero chance in the 24 games.
• 1:00:04
  Oh no dude, I'm still smoking Tyler in the 20.
• 1:00:06
  He can't do half the workouts. The mile run.
• 1:00:09
  You're dead, dude. It doesn't matter it it's you
• 1:00:12
  versus me, you'll win that and that's fine.
• 1:00:15
  I Chad. McLean, you're.
• 1:00:16
  Dead I I don't know dude, I'm pretty good at these like hour
• 1:00:20
  long things where you can't really like having a row but you
• 1:00:23
  just go. You're saying hundred 100K bike.
• 1:00:27
  I take me all day. That's a four hour thing.
• 1:00:31
  OK. All right.
• 1:00:32
  Doesn't matter. Me and Tyler don't.
• 1:00:35
  Matter I just speak to, I just think Tia.
• 1:00:38
  I think. I think Alex is.
• 1:00:40
  You gotta wait till Tia. I think Alex is the biggest home
• 1:00:42
  run hitter in the women's field and that is and I just think she
• 1:00:48
  just needs to put it together and she has just some of a much
• 1:00:51
  of a chance as anybody. I don't I think Danielle Brandon
• 1:00:55
  and Alexis Raptors are more well-rounded fit than her.
• 1:00:57
  I think I think Alexis Raptors is fitter than her.
• 1:00:59
  You want to use Emily Rolf. I think Emily Rolf and Alex are
• 1:01:02
  the are the if it's all cardio, Emily Rolf's going to win.
• 1:01:08
  It's all strength. Alex is going to win.
• 1:01:09
  But if it's balanced, there's stuff that Emily's going to be
• 1:01:13
  last place on, not last, but close to last and Alex is mid
• 1:01:16
  pack. Does that make sense?
• 1:01:19
  And that's the difference between the two.
• 1:01:23
  Next one real quick ESC sounds. This mountain has lost all
• 1:01:28
  credibility. It's a poor tapestry of fitness
• 1:01:31
  justice for Emily. You're trying.
• 1:01:33
  Harry's just standing up for for Miss Wolf.
• 1:01:37
  He he uses her. She she promotes the headphones.
• 1:01:41
  Listen. I I love, I love Emily.
• 1:01:42
  I'm not saying anything. Bad about Emily.
• 1:01:44
  Oh, oh, look, we're back. We're back. 199 We may never.
• 1:01:49
  Learn. Real weights again.
• 1:01:51
  Sorry, Miss Young. That's mystery.
• 1:01:53
  It hits Dad but. He's loose with the juice.
• 1:01:56
  I think he figured it out. Shelly's going to be upset.
• 1:02:01
  But next, next row I hear on, I say on this row, I would put
• 1:02:05
  Alex last, but I just see the potential in her and that's why
• 1:02:09
  she's there. I think you're biased.
• 1:02:11
  If she maybe but OK if she gets 12th again in 12th place or not
• 1:02:16
  top ten. If she gets not top 10 again she
• 1:02:19
  will drop and it would take a lot for me to believe in her
• 1:02:21
  again. Is that fair?
• 1:02:22
  Yeah, that fair. That's fair.
• 1:02:25
  Here we go. Jeff Adler.
• 1:02:29
  All right. Hopper and Lucy Campbell.
• 1:02:32
  Just. Yeah.
• 1:02:32
  Lying high all. Is going on John.
• 1:02:35
  Listen, this is where I. Had she won Water Palooza.
• 1:02:37
  Tierra Water. Palooza, Laura.
• 1:02:39
  Dear Laura, Lucy was there before.
• 1:02:45
  I have no reason to put her lower.
• 1:02:48
  Until she gives me a reason to put her lower.
• 1:02:51
  I'm not going to. John, I'm OK with Lucy being the
• 1:02:56
  next level down. How are you putting her above
• 1:02:59
  Alexis? Sure, If we make games
• 1:03:02
  predictions. If we make games predictions.
• 1:03:05
  This is the. Games Mountain.
• 1:03:07
  It's not predictions. This is games mountain.
• 1:03:10
  It's a it's a ever evolving tapestry.
• 1:03:12
  As soon as semi finals happens, semi finals happens.
• 1:03:16
  They're in live competition. Alexis takes her to school or
• 1:03:19
  whatever. Alexis looks however she looks.
• 1:03:21
  If Lucy doesn't look phenomenal, she will drop.
• 1:03:24
  It's very easy. It's very easy.
• 1:03:26
  This is where Lucy was before. I have no reason to drop her.
• 1:03:32
  None. I understand until.
• 1:03:34
  She gives the Emily roll for what it's.
• 1:03:36
  OK, I didn't drop Emily Rolf. This is the row she was on
• 1:03:38
  before she's. The She's the highest ranked
• 1:03:42
  returning athlete from the Games last year.
• 1:03:44
  That's cool. Who is the second highest?
• 1:03:46
  Bethany freaking Flores? Where the freak is she?
• 1:03:48
  You got nothing to say about her.
• 1:03:50
  Well, according to. The summer it's Brokeback
• 1:03:52
  Mountain Twist 4 been on the list.
• 1:03:55
  All right, you know what? You want to bring up Emily Roba.
• 1:03:57
  You don't want to bring up Bethany Flores.
• 1:03:59
  They're one spot apart. You know why 'cause you know the
• 1:04:01
  truth. You're just trying to argue for
• 1:04:02
  no reason. No.
• 1:04:04
  I'm saying like Bryce, Lucy wins one event.
• 1:04:06
  She shows up on the show right after that.
• 1:04:09
  Not about you. Like, wow.
• 1:04:11
  It's not about the event that Lucy won, it's about who she
• 1:04:13
  beat. Who has beaten Laura Horvath
• 1:04:16
  other than Lucy Campbell? Tell me, did Alexis?
• 1:04:21
  Wrap the speeder. Hold on, hold on.
• 1:04:22
  Did Alexis wrap the speeder? No.
• 1:04:26
  All right, then. Not.
• 1:04:27
  No, butt. No.
• 1:04:30
  Ever. Tell me the time that she did.
• 1:04:33
  She never has. Lucy did.
• 1:04:36
  You got to give Lucy her flowers until she makes a reason to
• 1:04:41
  drop. Flowers she wasn't even at.
• 1:04:43
  Base camp before this and you're going to put her in the 3rd row.
• 1:04:47
  Yeah, she didn't really exist. And then she came out of nowhere
• 1:04:50
  and. People or horseback climb of all
• 1:04:51
  time. Yeah, it is.
• 1:04:53
  It is. We'll see if it breaks her.
• 1:04:57
  I know she's in the Open. She's very strong on WFP.
• 1:05:01
  There's really, I mean, she has an affiliate semifinals and I
• 1:05:05
  guess the, the, what is it, Wadlands?
• 1:05:10
  She can't do French throw down. And then I don't want you to
• 1:05:13
  take this to heart. This is probably the least
• 1:05:16
  meaningful mountain there is. Because after you.
• 1:05:19
  Can't say that you can't say that.
• 1:05:21
  It's it's after. Guys, sorry for no.
• 1:05:23
  I want, I want you to understand this.
• 1:05:25
  It's after the Open. The Open doesn't mean much.
• 1:05:29
  Once semi finals happens, we'll have a fuller look on what's
• 1:05:33
  going to happen at the. Richard Tapestry.
• 1:05:36
  No, it's telling you. Sunday morning of the games you
• 1:05:39
  will know what this mountain looks like.
• 1:05:42
  Well, hopefully the week before the games and that will be the
• 1:05:45
  official. This is what's going to happen.
• 1:05:48
  OK, we. Have to do the games mount
• 1:05:51
  nothing. Games OK, but this is what it
• 1:05:55
  this is what it is right now. I think it's hilarious.
• 1:05:57
  You have such a problem with Lucy and you know, and Jeff is
• 1:06:00
  in the and Jeff is in the 3rd row.
• 1:06:02
  You got no problem. I said row 4 was fine.
• 1:06:06
  We don't know who's above Jeff and and Jason.
• 1:06:09
  You don't next row. Here we go again, row 6.
• 1:06:17
  All right, we got Dallin Pepper and James Sprague.
• 1:06:21
  Dallin is on this row for one reason, and that's what he did
• 1:06:27
  in the open announcement. If he didn't do that in the open
• 1:06:29
  announcement, Lucy would be a row higher.
• 1:06:33
  I'm telling you right now because she has given me no
• 1:06:36
  reason to put her lower, OK, James has given me no reason to
• 1:06:42
  put him lower. This is where he was when he won
• 1:06:45
  the games because he won the freaking games.
• 1:06:48
  And then I had him lower after Rogue and then he won Water
• 1:06:52
  Palooza. Like you can't take away from
• 1:06:55
  him. This is where he should be.
• 1:06:57
  And then if until he gives me a reason.
• 1:06:59
  So say we go to Mayhem Classic. If Jason beats James and Mayhem
• 1:07:03
  Classic, this will drop James and this will raise Jason.
• 1:07:07
  It's very sensitive. How far down will James tumble
• 1:07:09
  if he takes 5th? At Mayhem, probably one row he
• 1:07:13
  won't he won't tumble far. It depends who went makes it
• 1:07:15
  like like if Austin wins and then and James gets. 5th Austin
• 1:07:19
  wins Mayhem like move over, Tia like Tia's done.
• 1:07:23
  No, no, no, no, I'm saying and we don't know.
• 1:07:26
  We don't know until we get there.
• 1:07:27
  But I'm just saying it's an ever evolving.
• 1:07:29
  You may not know. But we it's, it's ever evolving.
• 1:07:33
  That's what you guys lose track of.
• 1:07:35
  Like you, you see Alexis down there and like Alexis might win
• 1:07:38
  the games. How is she down there?
• 1:07:40
  Yeah, it's ever evolving. Not How is she down there, John?
• 1:07:44
  How is she? Below, if she wins Mayhem
• 1:07:47
  Classic, Alexis will rise. It's super simple.
• 1:07:51
  I don't know why you lose your gas.
• 1:07:53
  I I want to evolve the mountain. The mountain is the most clear
• 1:07:57
  thing there can be. It's not confusing in one.
• 1:08:02
  I want to, I want to add an outcropping to the mountain, a
• 1:08:05
  new peak. And it's who John likes this
• 1:08:08
  week. Peak.
• 1:08:09
  No. No, and this week it's Lucy.
• 1:08:11
  Campbell it's not my fault that you guys can't just see the
• 1:08:15
  bigger picture and you just cheer for your favorite athlete.
• 1:08:18
  Two weeks. Last time we did it, I had
• 1:08:21
  figured the mountain out. I am now lost once again.
• 1:08:24
  This is the problem with the mountain.
• 1:08:25
  People don't actually fall off, they just get lost.
• 1:08:30
  And that's why you'll never be on top.
• 1:08:32
  So so Jeff Adler, below Jason before below James and Dallan.
• 1:08:39
  Yeah, James. James hasn't given me a reason
• 1:08:41
  to drop him. He's going to he he hasn't.
• 1:08:44
  And until he does, I'm not going to drop him.
• 1:08:46
  Same for Lucy. I'm going to tell you right now
• 1:08:49
  and I could and I my thoughts could change, but as of right
• 1:08:53
  now Dallan is my pick to win the CrossFit Games and that's I
• 1:08:59
  think and that's again semi finals could change a lot but
• 1:09:03
  right now that's my pick. Is Adler on the podium?
• 1:09:08
  Yeah. Is he second?
• 1:09:10
  I don't. Know we'll see all right.
• 1:09:12
  We'll see you next game, please. We'll see.
• 1:09:13
  We'll see after the semi finals games.
• 1:09:15
  Mountain. Thank you, Laura.
• 1:09:16
  Laura. Sees it, Laura gets it.
• 1:09:18
  Laura. Yeah, yeah, no.
• 1:09:22
  She just wanted her comment pulled up.
• 1:09:23
  And listen. What is going on here, John?
• 1:09:26
  This is the top row. There is not a face.
• 1:09:28
  There's the word called high rocks with a question mark.
• 1:09:31
  Because we don't know what Tia is doing.
• 1:09:34
  If Tia is doing the games, if she's doing the game season,
• 1:09:37
  she's on top. Nobody's going to.
• 1:09:40
  She's just going to be there till she retires, right?
• 1:09:42
  She's that much better than everybody, guys.
• 1:09:46
  She is skinny. You thought Matt Fraser had
• 1:09:49
  AIDS? Dude, Tia's taking it to the
• 1:09:51
  next level. She's got like super aids, how
• 1:09:53
  skinny she is. Like it's ridiculous.
• 1:09:58
  She I mean, it just looks like she's not going to do the game
• 1:10:02
  season. I personally think she's going
• 1:10:05
  to do Torian and say this is my last competition.
• 1:10:08
  This is where I started and this is where I want to end.
• 1:10:12
  And it's just a nice like just homie.
• 1:10:15
  Feeling. Yeah, Home sweet home, right?
• 1:10:18
  Who, who? What song is that?
• 1:10:20
  Mötley Crüe, right? Type of a feel, right and then
• 1:10:25
  and just does Torian, it doesn't matter how she does it, Torian.
• 1:10:28
  This will be her last competition and then she's going
• 1:10:30
  to focus on high rocks and do that thing.
• 1:10:32
  Go get it. I mean I'm all for that.
• 1:10:35
  Like it's a nice cap in her feather or feather in her cap.
• 1:10:39
  It's a nice feather and Crossfit's cap.
• 1:10:41
  If she wins the high rocks, she just set a world record for the
• 1:10:44
  double S, which means she had to run at that same pace that that
• 1:10:47
  other girl ran. It's just the in the middle
• 1:10:49
  stuff, which bodes well for her. I'm all for this.
• 1:10:54
  So that's why the the spot is blank, because if she doesn't,
• 1:10:58
  if that ends up happening, then that top spot is up for grabs.
• 1:11:04
  Lucy Campbell. No, no, no.
• 1:11:06
  And honestly, don't be ridiculous, Brian.
• 1:11:10
  We'll have to see. Yeah, don't, don't be
• 1:11:11
  ridiculous, Brian. Don't be ridiculous.
• 1:11:13
  But what? What would that would be insane.
• 1:11:16
  Yeah, yeah, good you get. You don't get the mountain at
• 1:11:19
  all. I don't understand it.
• 1:11:22
  But that that top spot is up for grabs and everybody can fight
• 1:11:26
  for it. But right now, this is your 2025
• 1:11:28
  Games Mountain again. I want y'all to remember it's an
• 1:11:31
  ever evolving process. It's a rich tapestry of fitness.
• 1:11:35
  Appreciate, appreciate it for what it is.
• 1:11:38
  I I wanted to talk about Super Aids for a second.
• 1:11:42
  I was. I was really hoping she glossed
• 1:11:44
  past that. I was, I was hoping I could tell
• 1:11:46
  you that and get away with. It roll out the chat super aids.
• 1:11:51
  I watched the the Tia one of the Tia documentaries where they she
• 1:11:55
  did the high rocks. I think it was with this this
• 1:11:57
  New Girl and like there was this shot where her and all the other
• 1:12:02
  girls were running and her legs are like this big around and all
• 1:12:06
  the other girls legs are like this big around.
• 1:12:08
  It's wild to see how big her legs were in comparison to the
• 1:12:12
  other girls. We can't compare to the high
• 1:12:13
  rocks guys like the High Rocks girls.
• 1:12:15
  I mean, they're, I mean straight out of the Holocaust, dude.
• 1:12:19
  They're like freaking crazy. Keep going John, you're doing
• 1:12:22
  great this evening. I thought woke fitness was going
• 1:12:26
  to get us, but no. Lee Frazier, 999 Thank you.
• 1:12:30
  Thank. You.
• 1:12:31
  I yeah, sorry, yeah. I I think you bring up a good
• 1:12:39
  point about Tia and in the world record.
• 1:12:42
  I was speaking, talking to somebody, I can't remember who,
• 1:12:44
  saying, yeah, of course, like she had some elite 15 runner
• 1:12:49
  with her. But to your point, John, you
• 1:12:51
  have to run as fast as her. If you suck at running, it
• 1:12:54
  doesn't matter how fast you are at at wall balls or a sledge,
• 1:12:58
  because if you're going straight from that to having to share
• 1:13:03
  some of the responsibilities on the the fitness elements like
• 1:13:07
  you're not going to do well. So like Tia was running elite
• 1:13:10
  level to do that, like. And that's all it is for her.
• 1:13:15
  You know the in between stuff, she's going to be better than
• 1:13:17
  everybody just because. It's but not if you're
• 1:13:21
  sprinting, not if you're running too hard.
• 1:13:23
  Right? Like you have to have enough in
• 1:13:24
  your in the tank to be able to handle that and go still go
• 1:13:26
  fast. But like I, that's all it is for
• 1:13:29
  her though is to be able to get her running that fast.
• 1:13:35
  Mr. Young, maybe she's doing high rocks because last year's
• 1:13:37
  Games was all running and she's the sees the writing on the
• 1:13:40
  wall. Nothing heavy in CrossFit.
• 1:13:42
  He's like, he's out of, he's just crying right now, drinking
• 1:13:46
  and being so sad. He's on his like Edgar Allan Poe
• 1:13:49
  train right now. It's just.
• 1:13:51
  It's his house to be built, I think is what it really comes
• 1:13:53
  down. To I'm going to you know what?
• 1:13:55
  You know what? Fuck you.
• 1:13:56
  What's today's day? May 31st is his birthday.
• 1:13:59
  I'm going to buy him a violin and then show him this episode.
• 1:14:04
  I, you know, what's funny is I, I'm right there with them.
• 1:14:07
  I just, I, I just, I think I'll get over it a little bit better.
• 1:14:15
  Sarah Cooper Syndicate is brave Jay, why do the commentator?
• 1:14:19
  I'm, I'm with you, Sarah. That's.
• 1:14:21
  He's getting it all out now so it doesn't happen in.
• 1:14:24
  May I I I truly I I hope nobody goes well.
• 1:14:31
  I really do, man. I I I'm nervous.
• 1:14:33
  About it This is your audition for the games, John.
• 1:14:36
  I need, I need Bill to have, we need like a, a signal for when I
• 1:14:40
  need to like cut it. You know what I mean?
• 1:14:44
  Yeah. Wilson's going to be standing
• 1:14:47
  right in front of you. Or just or just have like a a
• 1:14:50
  like a. Still have the mute button.
• 1:14:52
  We we should have a stop light and then just it needs to go red
• 1:14:55
  when I need to stop he's. Going to be sitting in front of
• 1:14:57
  the road caster and just pounding that mute.
• 1:14:59
  Button every time you talk. Yeah, well, there you go guys.
• 1:15:04
  Games mountain better than ever. It'll get better next week.
• 1:15:10
  Kind of looks like Hereditary a little bit with no head on the
• 1:15:13
  top. Have you seen that movie?
• 1:15:17
  No. OK, but there's a headless girl
• 1:15:19
  in it. No big deal.
• 1:15:21
  Yeah. No big deal.
• 1:15:23
  Well, there you go. Good stuff, John.
• 1:15:27
  Thank you, I worked really hard on it.
• 1:15:30
  We are 13 minutes away from the online qualifiers being
• 1:15:32
  officially released. Can I still sign up for real?
• 1:15:36
  Yeah, six days, seven day qualifier.
• 1:15:40
  You guys ready for some blind rankings?
• 1:15:43
  Ready as all over me. This one was recommended by Mr.
• 1:15:49
  Jr., but before Jr., Yeah. Oh wow.
• 1:15:54
  Before we get to that though, we do have to settle the the
• 1:15:58
  Barbell Spin intramural open league and find.
• 1:16:01
  Out what? Happened.
• 1:16:02
  Did it change spin? Did it?
• 1:16:05
  Change at all, do you know? I can't tell you that, John.
• 1:16:09
  Top men. Colton Mertens nothing like
• 1:16:12
  having the top guy in the entire world in your intramural fitness
• 1:16:17
  league. How many people can say that?
• 1:16:20
  So, yeah, Colton Mertens top 10. Nicholas Bidone, Patrick Lewis,
• 1:16:25
  CJ Gerald, Zane Healy up there keeping us.
• 1:16:28
  Keeping us alive there. Tucker Macklemore, Josh Mattis.
• 1:16:32
  He might be the most fit like. Strong guy.
• 1:16:36
  Teams dude now like dedicated won't go at least I don't think
• 1:16:43
  go individual or tried it individual route.
• 1:16:46
  I got you. I don't know, I feel like Angelo
• 1:16:49
  Dichiko might still be fitter than him, you know, You know
• 1:16:53
  what I'm saying? Like there's there's a lot of
• 1:16:54
  guys who are who are just teams guys.
• 1:16:56
  He's definitely the strongest guy.
• 1:16:57
  I don't know who Josh Mattis is. He's one of the very few people
• 1:17:01
  in the CrossFit world. And I'm like, that guy is like
• 1:17:06
  he's stronger than me by a decent amount.
• 1:17:09
  Actually, you'll probably know Josh Mattis from the 2023
• 1:17:13
  CrossFit Games when he did not. Face open.
• 1:17:17
  Yeah, when he busted his face on the handstand.
• 1:17:19
  Walk that guy. On the wooden block box.
• 1:17:24
  Yep. And his team couldn't compete.
• 1:17:27
  So yeah, Christian Beta, Nikki Rogers and Matthias Porter.
• 1:17:33
  Thanks, Matthias. Yeah, you guys.
• 1:17:35
  On the on the men this this week.
• 1:17:38
  Hannah Hardy, 17th Samantha Pugh, Morgan Porter.
• 1:17:43
  Such cheating. Like if if she's the reason
• 1:17:46
  Tyler's team wins. She's not the reason.
• 1:17:50
  I'm just saying. It's like the entire team, John.
• 1:17:53
  Hey, Jamie Latimer, bringing it home.
• 1:17:56
  Good job. Jamie Nicolette Porgiani.
• 1:17:59
  Maybe John will get her on. Hit her up, Tyler.
• 1:18:01
  Nicolette, hit me up. We need you.
• 1:18:03
  Girl Jamie Latimer, Lito Caligiani, Ali Zurki.
• 1:18:09
  I actually. It's pretty solid.
• 1:18:11
  She's gotten, I feel like she's, she's gotten much fitter this
• 1:18:14
  year. I think so too.
• 1:18:17
  Haley, Camphor, Becca Voigt, Miller.
• 1:18:20
  That's cool. 440 so can. I fly, are you a hater?
• 1:18:25
  I'm not. That's cool.
• 1:18:28
  Yeah, and Natalia Flores down there in 10th place in our in
• 1:18:32
  our league. Let's see some honorable
• 1:18:35
  mentions. John Kim, third place in the 55
• 1:18:37
  to 59 division. Tammy Saunders, 60th place.
• 1:18:40
  I would say 25.3 was not her favorite.
• 1:18:44
  Most improved. Taylor Wilson, Emma Moore, Missy
• 1:18:47
  Bolton all moved up the leaderboard significantly.
• 1:18:50
  Hey. Taylor Wilson.
• 1:18:52
  I think that's my girl. Is that you, girl?
• 1:18:54
  Is that her? I think so.
• 1:18:56
  Her last name is that, I think so.
• 1:18:59
  Nice job, girl. You're just having a day, aren't
• 1:19:01
  you? Good good 25.3 must like those
• 1:19:04
  wall walks, unlike me, Betty Alstead, Brian Clapp and Matthew
• 1:19:08
  Suckling. That's a terrible last name.
• 1:19:13
  I'm sorry, Matthew. That's me.
• 1:19:18
  That's awesome, girl. And then us, Tyler, Spin and
• 1:19:22
  John. Spin's going for the high score
• 1:19:25
  there. That that last that last
• 1:19:27
  workout? Really.
• 1:19:28
  Took. Spit out Man, that last workout
• 1:19:30
  was rough for him. Yeah.
• 1:19:32
  All right. We we need to redo all of 24.3
• 1:19:35
  or 24 workouts, not 25. Yeah.
• 1:19:40
  And let's see what else we got up the standings.
• 1:19:44
  Oh man, I feel like it did not change enough that that's not
• 1:19:48
  Tyler's team at the top, you know what I mean?
• 1:19:52
  Like they're close between us 2 and then that's a 2 percentage
• 1:19:55
  gap. That's what it looked like last
• 1:19:57
  week. Well, six, 6%, it goes to spin.
• 1:20:01
  There we. Go Tyler's trash.
• 1:20:03
  The question is who got last place?
• 1:20:05
  Was there a chance that we moved up versus Zeo second place?
• 1:20:12
  Global team. Let's go.
• 1:20:15
  Not. Spin.
• 1:20:15
  'S got to do 100 burpees. 7 minutes of burpees. 7 minutes of
• 1:20:20
  burpees. If I did 100 burpees I would be
• 1:20:23
  faster and do more than. Now what are we doing?
• 1:20:26
  Is does does does Me and Spin's team both have 100.
• 1:20:30
  I thought it was just last. Place or is it just last place?
• 1:20:32
  I thought it was just the last place.
• 1:20:34
  No one's stopping you from doing 7 minutes burpees.
• 1:20:36
  You can do. It all right?
• 1:20:38
  No, I'm OK y'all said it. I didn't say it.
• 1:20:40
  So what did the? True fact, I avoid wall walks
• 1:20:44
  all year until they open and then pray that they don't show
• 1:20:47
  up. So if you were on Team meat spin
• 1:20:50
  and everybody that's watching, all right, reach out to your
• 1:20:53
  fellow meat spinners. OK, Everybody that's on Team
• 1:20:57
  meets Spin, you have 7 minutes of burpees.
• 1:21:00
  You can do 7 minutes of burpees and then put it in your story
• 1:21:03
  and hashtag Team Meets Spin or hashtag tag me A tag the barbell
• 1:21:09
  spin. Tag all three of us I want I'm
• 1:21:14
  going to go I'm going to be looking all right and if you
• 1:21:17
  aren't doing it we're. Going to look at for every beat
• 1:21:20
  spinner and we're going to be in your.
• 1:21:22
  Track you down, Yeah. I didn't win for nothing.
• 1:21:26
  Yep. Grant, you got to, you got to
• 1:21:28
  redo it. You better see a lot of steak
• 1:21:29
  tornadoes. That's right.
• 1:21:32
  Exactly and what you all came for some blind rankings this
• 1:21:39
  week iconic rich workouts. So with all of the in person
• 1:21:46
  qualifiers in North America doing heavy Isabel.
• 1:21:49
  Does this mean everything like? Could all of the Mayhem workouts
• 1:21:55
  be throwbacks or spins off of some of his favorite?
• 1:22:01
  Workouts this this means him at the games, him in the open
• 1:22:03
  regionals just heavy. Isabel Heavy.
• 1:22:06
  Great. These are now, these are
• 1:22:08
  workouts that are iconic. Does not mean he won them, does
• 1:22:13
  not mean he got last. They are iconic rich.
• 1:22:17
  So 333 triple number one, that's what we're saying.
• 1:22:20
  I think we should put 333 as #1 just just just.
• 1:22:23
  That would be so funny. It would be really cool if he
• 1:22:26
  had everybody do 333. Oh, that would be really cool.
• 1:22:30
  I don't think he's going to. I think he hated that workout.
• 1:22:32
  Have him. Run outside.
• 1:22:33
  I think that would be amazing dude, I'm all for that.
• 1:22:36
  You think he would get? Get.
• 1:22:38
  I guess he'd only need 20 rowers, yeah?
• 1:22:41
  Yeah, dude, dude, they could do it.
• 1:22:42
  Dude, that'd be great. 40 even. I bet he's got 40 rowers in that
• 1:22:46
  place. Yeah.
• 1:22:46
  Does this count like YouTube workouts too, like Fantasyland?
• 1:22:50
  Like I think that's a really good one.
• 1:22:54
  Cinco One and Cinco 2. That's not really iconic.
• 1:22:57
  I don't think he was like March is iconic push pull, but he
• 1:23:00
  didn't win. It push pull.
• 1:23:02
  That might be the most iconic one, but it's a Josh Bridges
• 1:23:05
  thing. It's not a him thing.
• 1:23:07
  The Burpee handstand push up workout front squat from
• 1:23:10
  regionals. But again, Scott Panchik beat
• 1:23:14
  him. No.
• 1:23:16
  No, he beat it by. He beat it by like.
• 1:23:18
  A no, no, no, no. But Scott Pantry did.
• 1:23:22
  We slowed the That's not what the standings say.
• 1:23:24
  I don't think we. Should put that in his iconic
• 1:23:26
  rich workouts if he freaking got beat and he's giving credit for
• 1:23:29
  not. I think Rich won, but then
• 1:23:33
  you're wrong the. Camera says he did it you're we
• 1:23:36
  can watch it all right let's. Just go.
• 1:23:37
  Let's. Just go, let's just go.
• 1:23:38
  The rope climb workout and then the back-to-back.
• 1:23:43
  Grace. Workouts at the games.
• 1:23:44
  Double grace, yeah. We'll find out.
• 1:23:47
  Let's just let's. Just let's rock it.
• 1:23:49
  Yeah, there we. Go the 21159 complex.
• 1:23:54
  This is a good one, but my only problem with this is this
• 1:23:58
  workout's very easy. Like I've done this workout and
• 1:24:02
  I beat Rich's time and I don't think we can make it very high
• 1:24:05
  if that's the freaking case, you know, you know what I'm saying?
• 1:24:07
  Rich can do things nobody else can do.
• 1:24:09
  I like, like, I mean the people now that.
• 1:24:11
  Nobody then could do that. Though nobody then could do it
• 1:24:14
  right? But I'm just saying like it
• 1:24:16
  should be better than what a freaking regular guy that could
• 1:24:19
  just do stuff right. Like I I would say like 4.
• 1:24:24
  Yeah, I was going to say 4. Down in four.
• 1:24:29
  Same Laura. Same, although I was already in
• 1:24:32
  a gym at the time but it inspired the hell out of me.
• 1:24:36
  We'll see if it's up there next 1333.
• 1:24:43
  I want to put it one, dude, I want to put it one.
• 1:24:45
  So no, we got to have one where he does get it.
• 1:24:48
  One has the. Breakdown Iconic.
• 1:24:53
  Nobody says 333 without thinking of rich walking.
• 1:24:58
  You cannot say that work out and not think of rich walking.
• 1:25:03
  You say push. Pull, you think of Josh Bridges
• 1:25:05
  beating Rich, you say the regional workout, you got to
• 1:25:07
  think for a minute and then oh, you're like, Oh yeah, it's Scott
• 1:25:09
  Panjic won, but they gave it to Rich.
• 1:25:11
  Like you. They like think about it like
• 1:25:12
  what the word iconic means. If you think you say 333, I
• 1:25:18
  think Rich, you know it's going. To put 333 at 1, he didn't win
• 1:25:23
  and he has to win a number one seed.
• 1:25:26
  Doug, why does he have to win the number one?
• 1:25:28
  Because he has to. I just think it's more.
• 1:25:34
  John, you have to understand this is how goat like goat
• 1:25:36
  believers feel. You're now part of our party.
• 1:25:39
  You have to do this. I don't have to do anything,
• 1:25:42
  dude. I'm the only, I'm the only
• 1:25:44
  honest one on the panel. I'm the only one that doesn't,
• 1:25:47
  doesn't succumb to the greatness of these freaking athletes.
• 1:25:50
  I tell it how it is. And I think 333 is the most
• 1:25:53
  iconic wrist froning worker out of the wrist.
• 1:25:55
  It's not his fault that he's Yeah, here's the it's a
• 1:25:57
  compliment to him. Think about this.
• 1:26:00
  Rich was so good that the most iconic workout that he did was
• 1:26:05
  the one that he was bad and blew up because he.
• 1:26:08
  Does an earth shattering moment I'll never forget.
• 1:26:11
  We all stopped and we're like what the fuck is happening?
• 1:26:13
  And he's at the height of his powers.
• 1:26:15
  It's not like 2010 where he can't do a rope climb, right?
• 1:26:18
  That that's iconic too. But he's at the height of his
• 1:26:21
  powers. 2. I say, I say 1.
• 1:26:26
  I think we need to put this to a pole, Brian.
• 1:26:28
  No, we don't, because every week I let you take the.
• 1:26:32
  No, I let you take. Things I let you take.
• 1:26:35
  Things I let you think. Peen to one.
• 1:26:37
  I, I, I will not back down on this.
• 1:26:40
  I say I'm. Not going to back down on this
• 1:26:41
  either. I.
• 1:26:41
  Think you put this on a pole, Brian?
• 1:26:43
  Put it on a pole. Look.
• 1:26:44
  Crossfat it's two. CrossFit agrees it's.
• 1:26:48
  I got a lot of people saying it's 1-2.
• 1:26:51
  Clooney's has got me. Hang on.
• 1:26:55
  Kathy suck. Jeremy's agreeing with me.
• 1:26:59
  That's his way of agreeing. Lexi.
• 1:27:02
  It's not agreement two. There you go.
• 1:27:06
  Historic. Look, that's like a librarian
• 1:27:09
  coming out and saying historic fitness #2 you don't.
• 1:27:12
  Even know who that is. Thomas, you're about to get
• 1:27:14
  blocked here in a second all. Right, it pulls up.
• 1:27:17
  We're going to do it. You too.
• 1:27:19
  I'm blocking everybody who puts one.
• 1:27:21
  Can we uh. Oh.
• 1:27:26
  Uh oh, your mom. It doesn't even agree with you.
• 1:27:28
  My. Parents hate me.
• 1:27:30
  No, we're not doing that. We have 34 votes in right now.
• 1:27:35
  It is 3066 to 3444 votes. John, you're losing.
• 1:27:42
  How's it looking? 50 votes. 6832 for second place.
• 1:27:46
  All right, we can go to then. I will respect the voice of the
• 1:27:49
  people. All right, that's right, the
• 1:27:52
  people. Understand, John, you don't get
• 1:27:54
  it. Embrace the goat.
• 1:27:57
  All right, I'm not all the way there.
• 1:27:58
  I've I've just admitted it. I'm a new convert, sorry.
• 1:28:01
  Yeah, yeah. Next one fantasyland.
• 1:28:08
  OK, I love this workout. As far as iconicness though, I
• 1:28:11
  feel like not a lot of people know it.
• 1:28:13
  Yep. I I I would say 5. 5. 5.
• 1:28:18
  I don't ever think about it. No, I don't either unless
• 1:28:21
  somebody brings it up. And it's a really, really cool
• 1:28:23
  YouTube video with him and James Hobart.
• 1:28:27
  It's an amazing workout. I would have loved it as an open
• 1:28:32
  workout. It was like a weird garage
• 1:28:35
  thing. CrossFit.
• 1:28:36
  It wasn't. It wasn't the barn.
• 1:28:38
  Whoops. What fantasyland.
• 1:28:41
  That was like his original house.
• 1:28:43
  Yeah, wasn't that the team workout?
• 1:28:47
  He just did it all right. You got first and 3rd left.
• 1:28:53
  Tristan, that that you might. Once a month you.
• 1:28:57
  I think you're on stalker watch if that's really the case.
• 1:29:02
  That's wild, Tristan. Watch that for seven hours
• 1:29:05
  straight. Yeah.
• 1:29:06
  Listen, like Mayhem, I'm like really tell you, you need to
• 1:29:09
  watch out for this trip. There's a Tristan Patrick.
• 1:29:12
  You're a gym. Like he's got a thing for you.
• 1:29:16
  Next one, thick and quick. OK, this is this is 3 and
• 1:29:21
  honestly it would be 5. This was the rope climb overhead
• 1:29:24
  squat workout, but it wasn't double grace.
• 1:29:26
  He's not saying he's not putting it together.
• 1:29:27
  It's just the rope climb overhead squat workout.
• 1:29:31
  The most memorable thing about this one is he freaking clean
• 1:29:34
  and jerked it and overhead squatted with this grip right
• 1:29:36
  here and about failed. And if he would have failed that
• 1:29:40
  Rep, it would have been devastating.
• 1:29:42
  Like Matt wins the games, which is crazy.
• 1:29:44
  Like, people don't think about this.
• 1:29:46
  That save that he had on that 245 overhead squat, Go ahead and
• 1:29:50
  look it up because his arms are literally here.
• 1:29:53
  And I'm saying he like runs with this weight to get that first
• 1:29:56
  Rep. I'm seriously almost failed it.
• 1:30:00
  It was a really crazy save, but I think Double Grace is more
• 1:30:05
  memorable than this. I don't think very many people
• 1:30:08
  would know this workout, they just know it's one of the the
• 1:30:11
  double. Just like just how Tyler is
• 1:30:13
  here. In my opinion this would be 5,
• 1:30:16
  but I would put it at 3:00 because it's all we have left.
• 1:30:20
  As far as I if we're if we're playing by the rules of iconic
• 1:30:23
  rich workouts, this is the most talked about workout of all
• 1:30:27
  time. People don't actually know what
• 1:30:28
  the workout. Is the rope climb overhead squat
• 1:30:30
  workout? Oh OK, I got you.
• 1:30:35
  Sorry, wrong rope climb. Yeah, there you.
• 1:30:39
  Go. There you go.
• 1:30:40
  I just went in this. Soliloquy how he did this
• 1:30:43
  overhead squat and you're talking about I am like a
• 1:30:45
  freaking rope climb. I got in my own head, John, I
• 1:30:50
  just heard rope climb and went off.
• 1:30:51
  OK, gotcha. I know what you're talking
• 1:30:53
  about. Yeah.
• 1:30:53
  Then it's. This is definitely. 3 #3
• 1:31:01
  freaking Isabel is number. Weird.
• 1:31:06
  That doesn't. That's not like you to comment
• 1:31:08
  that where that's coming. From That's weird.
• 1:31:13
  All right, what was your requirement, Tyler for #1?
• 1:31:18
  He has to win. Is it the rope climb workout
• 1:31:21
  that he failed at? They were at one and two.
• 1:31:23
  Yeah, one and two aren't the worst things, he said.
• 1:31:30
  That's amazing. That is a statement though, and
• 1:31:34
  that's where it should be. That's OK.
• 1:31:37
  Go go ahead and contradict yourself.
• 1:31:39
  Let's see. Let's hear.
• 1:31:39
  It it's fine. I just started like you're
• 1:31:43
  you're right, John, like when you were talking about 333 like
• 1:31:46
  it is iconic, but but it is not more iconic than the rope fall.
• 1:31:50
  That's the most talk that that's the most talked about workout of
• 1:31:54
  all time. Yeah.
• 1:31:59
  I mean, I think he's had wins that are better than this
• 1:32:01
  though. Like I think you.
• 1:32:02
  Don't talk you don't talk about Rich without his failed RIP rope
• 1:32:05
  climb. You you talk about push pull.
• 1:32:08
  I think push, pull, he's talked about all the time is one of the
• 1:32:10
  best, like moments of all time in the CrossFit Games.
• 1:32:13
  Yeah, but again, I don't think you talk about Rich Ferroni
• 1:32:15
  without mentioning his failed rope climb.
• 1:32:19
  You. Can talk about he's got, but
• 1:32:22
  it's he failed a rope climb to win the CrossFit Games.
• 1:32:25
  Yeah, yeah, No, I don't think you're wrong.
• 1:32:27
  And and I mean, and it is what, like he failed and then came
• 1:32:33
  back and then was just better than everybody for a long time,
• 1:32:36
  right. Even though he's probably better
• 1:32:37
  than everybody already. But like, that was the one thing
• 1:32:40
  that made him not. I've never done that workout or
• 1:32:43
  the the final three. The Yeah, well, I didn't get to
• 1:32:50
  do the first two before you. Do that one.
• 1:32:52
  That's what I'm saying, that I've never done all three of
• 1:32:54
  those that would. Be.
• 1:32:56
  Yeah. Climb over a wall for one of
• 1:32:58
  them. It's kind of hard to simulate.
• 1:32:59
  And isn't it like, it's like a crazy tall rope, right?
• 1:33:02
  It's 20 feet. No.
• 1:33:04
  Oh, the the, the climb, Yeah, yeah, the climb's the climb's 20
• 1:33:07
  feet. Yeah.
• 1:33:08
  I think the combo is what killed it.
• 1:33:10
  He freaking. Sold his soul on the 1st.
• 1:33:13
  Workout like this is people don't know like how that whole
• 1:33:17
  thing went down. They just see him.
• 1:33:18
  Oh we can't climb a rope. He didn't know.
• 1:33:22
  They didn't know there was 3 workouts and and he just sold
• 1:33:26
  his soul on the 1st workout where you're climbing a rope
• 1:33:31
  over a wall, doing overhead squats and then doing a whole
• 1:33:33
  bunch of push ups on the other side and then there was a toe to
• 1:33:37
  bar. I forget the other movements.
• 1:33:39
  Wall ball or snatches toes to bar and snatches. 30 toes to
• 1:33:43
  bar, 20 snatches, all grip intensive as well.
• 1:33:47
  You could already see he's he's roasted from the first one.
• 1:33:50
  Like he gets like 6th place because he's freaking roasted
• 1:33:54
  because like nobody finished the workout.
• 1:33:56
  He's the only person who finished the workout.
• 1:33:58
  Everybody else was like 40 reps behind him on the 1st workout
• 1:34:03
  and then he's roasted on the second one and then the third
• 1:34:06
  one is just a rope climb. And what's the other movement?
• 1:34:11
  Burpee. Burpee get over the wall.
• 1:34:13
  Maybe Burpee get over the wall and then rope climb and his grip
• 1:34:18
  is shot. He's gone, but it's 'cause he
• 1:34:20
  blew himself up. I think if that was the first
• 1:34:22
  one, he'd actually be able to do all three of them.
• 1:34:24
  It it would be awesome if he would never program this.
• 1:34:28
  This is so old school programming at at at the at the
• 1:34:32
  mayhem Classic. But it'd be cool if he made him
• 1:34:34
  do it legless 'cause he did them legless.
• 1:34:40
  The 20 I, I think they'd all just fly through it.
• 1:34:42
  It's only three. Yeah.
• 1:34:45
  Like like these? Workouts are so.
• 1:34:47
  So old school. Well, they're just not hard
• 1:34:50
  enough, but people have gotten way too fit dude.
• 1:34:53
  Yeah, you still got to push the intensity siphon is right like
• 1:34:57
  and subscribe getting close to 10,000 so.
• 1:35:02
  You guys subscribe, Help us get there.
• 1:35:05
  Yeah, Honorable mention, definitely the failed overhead
• 1:35:08
  squad. That was a good moment.
• 1:35:10
  Yeah. It was just a cool moment.
• 1:35:13
  Through you blind. Dakins I think we actually
• 1:35:16
  ranked those really well. Yeah.
• 1:35:18
  For the workouts that we actually had, I actually think
• 1:35:20
  that was I would trade fantasyland and thick and quick.
• 1:35:27
  I'd put thick and quick lower, but or I think in 2159 I'd flip
• 1:35:33
  those, but OK, no, I do. I do think it was a good.
• 1:35:37
  I know. I think we ended up actually
• 1:35:38
  doing really, really well with it.
• 1:35:40
  There you go, what you guys have all been waiting for.
• 1:35:44
  It's why I've been wearing this shirt all night.
• 1:35:49
  We're open this project. Dude, we've been dragging this
• 1:35:52
  podcast out just so we could talk about this.
• 1:35:55
  Just for this, First off, let me for those of you who want to go
• 1:36:02
  to Indianapolis. Come hang out with officially me
• 1:36:08
  and Jenny. Oh OK, from dance or VIP?
• 1:36:14
  Whoa, Jesus. Christ, I'm sorry, I'm just
• 1:36:18
  allergic to all this BS fitness we want to talk about.
• 1:36:20
  Go ahead. If you want to sign up, there's
• 1:36:26
  plenty of spots for you asking about doing a scaled team.
• 1:36:33
  I think I could take second place right now.
• 1:36:35
  Me, Grant and I'm not sure who else.
• 1:36:39
  We probably take second with some prize money.
• 1:36:43
  Yeah. I don't know who finished squad
• 1:36:45
  is. Maybe we could take them, not
• 1:36:47
  sure. As long as there's not wall
• 1:36:48
  walks, you got a good a chance to anybody.
• 1:36:50
  A. 100% it's scaled, so maybe not.
• 1:36:53
  Maybe it's the scaled wall walks?
• 1:36:58
  Chances anybody? I can take third place in the
• 1:37:01
  masters pairs, so you can go do that if you want.
• 1:37:09
  That's out there and then let's go see the workouts.
• 1:37:14
  Are you guys excited? I.
• 1:37:16
  AM. Let's see, let's see what the
• 1:37:19
  first qualified. Can you?
• 1:37:20
  Explain to me what how this works?
• 1:37:24
  So the Challenger qualifier, so there are 2020 athletes and and
• 1:37:29
  men, 20 women that are now pros. The Challenger Qualifier The top
• 1:37:33
  10 from this qualifier will go to Indianapolis and compete in
• 1:37:36
  the Pro division. In the live competition.
• 1:37:39
  In the live competition, the next 1111 to 30 will go to the
• 1:37:43
  challenger. You earn points in both.
• 1:37:46
  You can earn less points. If you're in challenger then you
• 1:37:49
  are in pro. No matter if you take last place
• 1:37:52
  in pro and 1st place in challenger, even if you suck at
• 1:37:56
  all the workouts, you still get more points.
• 1:37:57
  So this. Is to the challenger, people
• 1:37:59
  also go to Indianapolis and it's just a different OK and they're
• 1:38:03
  different scaled workouts. I think they're the exact same
• 1:38:05
  workouts. OK, but the only the top 10?
• 1:38:08
  Go do it with the pros. So yes, so I mean, if you're in
• 1:38:11
  this online qualifier like this is actually probably more
• 1:38:14
  important than how you do to some degree in Indianapolis
• 1:38:22
  because if you're if you finish 11th in this qualifier and then
• 1:38:25
  crush. Then you might as well not even
• 1:38:27
  go to Indianapolis. Like you're in first place, you
• 1:38:29
  lose, you get less points than everybody that one through 10,
• 1:38:34
  even if you do better at all the workouts, you don't get as many
• 1:38:37
  points. This is actually a really good
• 1:38:39
  case for P score. Oh, here we go.
• 1:38:43
  Well, I'm just saying like if you had.
• 1:38:45
  I did not see that coming. I really didn't.
• 1:38:48
  Think about it, John, because if we do the negative points thing,
• 1:38:51
  like if you have a a base minimum of points that you can
• 1:38:53
  get and then like somebody pulls, who was it at, at Rogue?
• 1:39:00
  Your ghost, Caravis. Your ghost.
• 1:39:01
  If you pull a your ghost you get one Rep and everybody else like
• 1:39:04
  finishes. The work now -56,000, yeah.
• 1:39:07
  You get kicked back down and then the person in the
• 1:39:09
  challenger like that, that should be how it is.
• 1:39:12
  Or if they're doing the same workout.
• 1:39:14
  As far as I know, they are. I mean, yeah.
• 1:39:17
  No, you're right, and this is a great time to talk about HGRCBD.
• 1:39:22
  If you get kicked down and your joints hurt from that, and then
• 1:39:24
  just rub some of that on your joints and your muscles and
• 1:39:26
  you'll feel all better again. Not a bad rule not a ESC sounds.
• 1:39:31
  Will Jerul be there? Hopefully I don't know he
• 1:39:35
  crossfits. Maybe he's maybe he's in the
• 1:39:36
  qualifier. I don't know, there's still time
• 1:39:38
  to, to sign up. So yeah, the IT is kind of
• 1:39:43
  interesting because again, I think they're all doing the same
• 1:39:46
  workouts. Maybe we'll have to scale them
• 1:39:47
  or do something different. Because again, if you're first
• 1:39:50
  in the challenger, no prize money, just points.
• 1:39:54
  If you're 30th place in the pro division, you get prize money.
• 1:40:00
  And do you have a fair shot of making it here or no?
• 1:40:04
  Do I? Yeah.
• 1:40:05
  I mean of course of. Course.
• 1:40:08
  Why not? What is this?
• 1:40:11
  You need access. All right, hold on.
• 1:40:14
  It's down there. Calendar 20 minute AMRAP.
• 1:40:16
  Yeah, but he wants to know what? That I've never seen that before
• 1:40:18
  in my life. What is?
• 1:40:19
  This. Don't worry about it.
• 1:40:20
  You don't have access, Brian. I'm another freaking.
• 1:40:22
  Qualifier Andy's part of the media?
• 1:40:25
  What the hell? 'S he got to do 20 lateral
• 1:40:28
  burpees, 40 shuttle runs, AMRAP 20.
• 1:40:31
  I think you're going to smoke this first one, Brian.
• 1:40:34
  That's actually a good one for me.
• 1:40:37
  Dude, it's looking good right now so far.
• 1:40:39
  You are going to make it into Indianapolis.
• 1:40:42
  I don't see why I couldn't workout 20.
• 1:40:44
  There's a 3A3 B. Oh here we go.
• 1:40:46
  Oh man they had the first one behind a pay wall workout #2.
• 1:40:52
  Double unders. Wow, what is going on with the
• 1:40:55
  meters before the feet? It's fine man, there's more
• 1:40:58
  European people than American people. 100 feet dumbbell carry
• 1:41:03
  walking lunges hold. On, that's OK.
• 1:41:09
  It's, it's your, it's your. Just look at this.
• 1:41:12
  This is European. Look, kilos are before pounds as
• 1:41:14
  well. It's a European thing.
• 1:41:16
  Just look at it as a European thing.
• 1:41:17
  They just approach it. This is a European thing.
• 1:41:20
  I know we're not supposed to use this word, but I think it's a
• 1:41:22
  good time to say this is double gay.
• 1:41:26
  Some Europeans are double gay, man.
• 1:41:28
  It's fine. Like it's fine.
• 1:41:30
  It's what it is what it is. Leave it.
• 1:41:31
  Alone. So it's so gay.
• 1:41:32
  It's straight again. I don't OK lots of AA little.
• 1:41:41
  Like 25.2 just double unders actually matter and it's lunges
• 1:41:46
  instead of thrusters. I.
• 1:41:48
  Think I could beat, I think I could beat Grant in this one.
• 1:41:51
  I don't think you get past the 1st 150 double unders all right.
• 1:41:57
  Like that for you so far You are doing this dude.
• 1:42:01
  I'm a little nervous about the part A Part B, but.
• 1:42:03
  That sounds like a lift. That's what that sounds like.
• 1:42:07
  It sounds like a lift. Handstand walk.
• 1:42:10
  We're toast. 5 rounds per time, 7 minute count. 50 foot
• 1:42:14
  handstand walk in Well, this one's in feet.
• 1:42:19
  What? Triple gay?
• 1:42:21
  It's back gay again. Defend it, John, Defend it.
• 1:42:25
  I can't defend. And it's in pounds, not
• 1:42:28
  kilograms first. It's a great workout for me.
• 1:42:32
  Dude Part B spin is going to tear up.
• 1:42:36
  I already see wall walk complexes.
• 1:42:39
  Let's go. 15 wall walk complexes is one wall walk plus one wall
• 1:42:47
  facing handstand. Push up and remaining time Max
• 1:42:50
  cleans at 2:25. I honestly.
• 1:42:52
  Love that workout. We should have Tyler do part A
• 1:42:54
  and I'll do Part B and we'll submit it as your score spin.
• 1:42:58
  I like it and I think we can make it they.
• 1:43:00
  Probably wouldn't even notice on the video that there's different
• 1:43:02
  people. Like let's just, let's just you
• 1:43:05
  do the first 2, Tyler, you got part A and I got Part B and
• 1:43:08
  we'll just tear it up. And this is what I'm going to
• 1:43:10
  start saying. I'm just going to say it's you
• 1:43:12
  got that G? Got that double.
• 1:43:15
  G you got that double G We're in triple G category here.
• 1:43:19
  They got gay. Instead of the the what, what is
• 1:43:23
  it the F the the Fujita scale for tornadoes it's it's the G
• 1:43:27
  scale. What we got here, who's doing
• 1:43:33
  the demo we going to get, is that is that Saxon?
• 1:43:40
  That's why Saxon went there. He's a demo guy.
• 1:43:42
  Well, he's staying so good, John.
• 1:43:49
  I'm sorry. Man, you're right.
• 1:43:51
  All this World Fitness project stuff.
• 1:43:57
  What is he looking at? How good he looks.
• 1:44:01
  Oh, look at the, look at the the line did.
• 1:44:07
  You see? There a line.
• 1:44:11
  John's very interested. Hang, hang in there.
• 1:44:14
  Look at the line. That is nice.
• 1:44:16
  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's.
• 1:44:17
  Not 60 inches. Is it a?
• 1:44:19
  Is it a Dick line? You got to put the first line
• 1:44:21
  where your, where your, where your stuff is.
• 1:44:23
  Is that? It's for cock push ups.
• 1:44:28
  Let's see. Dude, I'm not reading a homework
• 1:44:30
  report to figure. Out Mark.
• 1:44:32
  I'm sorry. Look straight out of a third
• 1:44:35
  grade. Homework.
• 1:44:36
  This this is a freaking chem chem lab assignment.
• 1:44:40
  That's what this. Oh, here we go.
• 1:44:41
  We got some drawings. The wall walks 10 inches
• 1:44:46
  there's. It looks about like 10 inches.
• 1:44:50
  25 feet away is the barbell, but there's no second. 20 oh OK I
• 1:44:56
  see yeah cuz you got. A.
• 1:44:58
  There's no second line. So that's the other.
• 1:45:01
  Line you just go to the 10 foot mark 10.
• 1:45:04
  Inch wall walk athletes laying down.
• 1:45:12
  Both hands must be touching the 10 inch tape mark before
• 1:45:15
  starting the handstand. Push up both hands.
• 1:45:19
  There is no need for a second line.
• 1:45:27
  There's all right. So.
• 1:45:29
  Noted. Those are the workouts you have
• 1:45:33
  a week I'm. Going to do it.
• 1:45:38
  Take your spot, Brian. Good luck.
• 1:45:43
  Let's see the leaderboard. Nobody's submitted a score yet.
• 1:45:46
  On the men's side, there's the pro line.
• 1:45:50
  There's a challenger line. There's the loser line.
• 1:45:56
  They got a lot more than they had.
• 1:45:58
  Looks like there's more signing up.
• 1:46:01
  I'm just outside of the Challenger so I have some work
• 1:46:03
  to do. I get those numbers up, yeah.
• 1:46:09
  The women's side, yeah, they're getting some more.
• 1:46:12
  OK, so. That many but some.
• 1:46:18
  More than more than they had before.
• 1:46:20
  Let's see, let me They also released the rule book.
• 1:46:26
  I went through it. Anything interesting in there?
• 1:46:31
  Nothing too interesting. I don't know where it is on the
• 1:46:37
  on their website. What's their stance on trans
• 1:46:39
  athletes? Let's get serious.
• 1:46:42
  Actually I there is some information in that is that
• 1:46:45
  there is spin. Please be Brianna Spin.
• 1:46:50
  No, no, no, no. Go go by your name, Brianna
• 1:46:53
  Piferon. The the World Fitness Project is
• 1:47:00
  the same transgender policy as the CrossFit Games.
• 1:47:04
  Can't do it, Dang it. What?
• 1:47:06
  You're what you were assigned at birth.
• 1:47:08
  So sorry for Outwad and everybody else who was upset
• 1:47:13
  with the CrossFit Games the world for this project has.
• 1:47:16
  Yeah, you have more people to see.
• 1:47:18
  What's that? More people to be upset about
• 1:47:19
  now? Yeah.
• 1:47:20
  You're going to be upset at two people.
• 1:47:21
  Congratulations. They're they're following the
• 1:47:23
  exact same. So yeah.
• 1:47:28
  So go sign up, go to the community teams.
• 1:47:30
  I don't know affiliates. We got two affiliates now.
• 1:47:35
  What's the second projects? Well, well, freaking people.
• 1:47:38
  Affiliates. Something like that I posted in
• 1:47:41
  my story, didn't I? Did you I?
• 1:47:44
  Don't know if it's still there or not.
• 1:47:47
  No, something in Indianapolis, Westfield.
• 1:47:50
  It's like right across the street from the one you were at.
• 1:47:55
  Let's see. Hashtag WFP gym is how you find
• 1:48:00
  it. Just in case you wanted to keep
• 1:48:03
  up on that CrossFit IGY 6. Is the lady that did the
• 1:48:14
  podcast. No, no, no, that was sorry.
• 1:48:19
  Son of a bitch. Crap, there we go.
• 1:48:25
  Just want me to keep going back and signed up for their
• 1:48:30
  qualifier. You pessimist asshole.
• 1:48:38
  Redemption Fitness. Redemption Fitness was the first
• 1:48:43
  one that was Maggie that was on the Counterculture podcast over
• 1:48:47
  the weekend. And then CrossFit IGY 6 is
• 1:48:53
  number 2 out of 50. They get a pro card.
• 1:48:58
  Yeah, something like that they get, I think they get like 5
• 1:49:01
  free tickets to to event 1. So I believe it's in Westfield,
• 1:49:07
  IN. Really.
• 1:49:09
  Yeah, there it is, Westfield IN. Never heard of that, Jim.
• 1:49:23
  OK. It's not where Lexus trains at.
• 1:49:26
  How much, how much longer do we have of this?
• 1:49:30
  We haven't even talked about affiliates yet, John.
• 1:49:33
  Don't you want to talk about WFP affiliates?
• 1:49:38
  I'm just here, man. What are your thoughts John on
• 1:49:41
  on World Fitness project launching affiliates?
• 1:49:44
  I don't care. You don't have any thoughts on
• 1:49:46
  this? I no.
• 1:49:49
  All right. It's time.
• 1:49:52
  Can I? Can I hear I tell you what?
• 1:49:55
  Can I go below my nose and then I'll give an opinion on it?
• 1:49:59
  Is is your nose impeding you from your opinion?
• 1:50:02
  It really is, dude. I'm I'm, I'm I'm all.
• 1:50:05
  That's all I'm thinking. About man 6th grade.
• 1:50:07
  You don't have to reason. OK, Well, hygiene.
• 1:50:10
  I don't want to leave randomly, man, I listen.
• 1:50:13
  I I got to be here for Standy, you know she.
• 1:50:17
  She says she can leave. Hurry up.
• 1:50:19
  Standy gave you a permission, so tell me what your thoughts are
• 1:50:24
  and I'll play. I'll.
• 1:50:25
  Play. I view it as a last ditch effort
• 1:50:31
  to make some money it doesn't seem.
• 1:50:37
  Very well thought out, so I'll give you that.
• 1:50:40
  As in, they watched our show, they realize that it's going to
• 1:50:46
  cost $6 million to run this year, obviously because we did
• 1:50:51
  all the math and they realized telling.
• 1:50:55
  Leslie, he's going to blow his notes.
• 1:51:00
  Anyway, and I think they looked at their registrations for the
• 1:51:04
  online qualifier and their community division and go it's
• 1:51:11
  going to cost a lot. We need to make more money.
• 1:51:13
  How does How does CrossFit make money?
• 1:51:16
  So let's go. With There is zero chance that
• 1:51:19
  this was set up in October or whatever.
• 1:51:22
  Pedro they. Said that they were planning on
• 1:51:26
  doing this from the beginning, despite also having said that
• 1:51:29
  they were not going to do this. Right, like there's zero way I
• 1:51:35
  believe what they wrote about saying like this was always part
• 1:51:38
  of the plan. Like this is their, you know,
• 1:51:41
  how, how they envisioned it from the beginning, Like you don't go
• 1:51:48
  this route and then all of a sudden go an affiliate route
• 1:51:52
  without your first person be able to they can communicate
• 1:51:57
  what's like, first of all, you don't go let that person be the
• 1:52:00
  first one to talk about this program.
• 1:52:03
  And I know counterculture knew this knew them.
• 1:52:06
  And it was kind of like it sounded like very rushed, like,
• 1:52:09
  Hey, you just announced this. Let's go to a podcast.
• 1:52:12
  And she was like, cool. Yeah.
• 1:52:14
  But you don't let that happen before you announce it, even on
• 1:52:18
  social media, like, hey, we're doing this.
• 1:52:20
  You also don't let us AKA 7 find out before everybody else talks
• 1:52:27
  about it. Execution error #1 is letting
• 1:52:31
  that happen. You need to be the people that
• 1:52:33
  break the news on this. Letting her do the podcast was
• 1:52:40
  insane to me. Her being the first person to
• 1:52:44
  talk about it. It's fine.
• 1:52:45
  Like, I don't care that she talked about it, but how are you
• 1:52:48
  not the leading? Like you're doing this thing,
• 1:52:50
  you, you've been thinking about this for months, but she tells
• 1:52:54
  the world. You don't want that to be the
• 1:52:56
  face of your thing. I don't care if she.
• 1:53:00
  Well, yeah. Yeah.
• 1:53:01
  No, no. That's OK.
• 1:53:04
  You need Saxon or Will or whoever's spearheading this that
• 1:53:09
  has the vision to explain it. Because she was like.
• 1:53:13
  They did. Not explain.
• 1:53:14
  If she didn't, they didn't, they ask her something like how are
• 1:53:18
  they going to do something? And she's like, they told me how
• 1:53:20
  they weren't going to tell me. They just moved off of that like
• 1:53:23
  I was I. Think, think about it.
• 1:53:25
  Think, think. What if they just went like on
• 1:53:27
  set, like Will and Saxon, both of them went on Sevon's podcast
• 1:53:32
  or went on our podcast and, and said, this is what we're going
• 1:53:37
  to do. We're going to roll this out.
• 1:53:38
  This is how we're going to do it.
• 1:53:39
  This is why we're going to do it.
• 1:53:40
  And this is the vision that we see and then answer any
• 1:53:44
  questions that we have, right, either like that's.
• 1:53:49
  We're our lovely viewers. Either or or yeah, or.
• 1:53:52
  Like, it doesn't matter if these questions are coming at them or
• 1:53:55
  if they're in support of them. Doesn't matter.
• 1:53:57
  You should be able to answer them, right?
• 1:54:00
  And like it's OK if it's in conflict with CrossFit.
• 1:54:03
  Like just like this is what you're doing.
• 1:54:05
  This is why you're doing it. Where you have all these awesome
• 1:54:08
  athletes, they're going to be competing here.
• 1:54:10
  We're going to stream it. This is how we're going to
• 1:54:12
  stream it. Like if you went about it that
• 1:54:15
  way and so many more people would be in favor of you.
• 1:54:19
  Even if we were against you, we would be like, they're doing
• 1:54:23
  their thing. We'll tell y'all what happens.
• 1:54:25
  We're not going to be so against you.
• 1:54:28
  Instead you've like chosen to what's black ball?
• 1:54:33
  That's the wrong word. What's the word Finn?
• 1:54:35
  Like just not talk to any of the media people, people doing media
• 1:54:40
  like you don't even talk to the people that would work with you.
• 1:54:43
  It wasn't like a. Media e-mail blast that we're
• 1:54:46
  getting that you're that you ignore and delete.
• 1:54:49
  That's not talking to us. That's not talking to us.
• 1:54:51
  You know good and well you tried to talk to Will about it and he
• 1:54:55
  wouldn't talk to you like like. Talk to me.
• 1:54:59
  What about this? I didn't ask them about this.
• 1:55:01
  Well, what I'm saying is they don't like, if you went about it
• 1:55:07
  that way, more people would be receptive to you.
• 1:55:09
  Instead, you just try to do, you're trying to like
• 1:55:14
  everybody's against us, but you wonder why everybody's against
• 1:55:17
  you and like you're sneaky about it.
• 1:55:19
  Are you trying to, are you even trying to be sneaky about all
• 1:55:21
  this stuff? And it's it's shady and then
• 1:55:25
  everybody looks at you as shady because you don't want to tell
• 1:55:29
  anybody what you're doing or why you're doing it when we could
• 1:55:32
  help you instead. You don't want that.
• 1:55:35
  I don't I don't understand why you don't go about it that.
• 1:55:37
  Way, yes, Yvonne talked about it last week.
• 1:55:38
  We talked about it and then I find out that like sure enough.
• 1:55:43
  Here's there it is affiliate so I.
• 1:55:46
  Wonder here's here's something you don't sick fit.
• 1:55:49
  Remember that, Tyler? No.
• 1:55:53
  John, do you remember Sick Fit? I remember sick fit.
• 1:55:55
  What is sick fit? It's where it's like you had to
• 1:55:58
  be. You have to be sick in order to
• 1:56:01
  do workouts, and then you just shared your sickness with
• 1:56:04
  everybody. CrossFit cancels the gym,
• 1:56:06
  starting the Sick Fit affiliate process, so here's.
• 1:56:09
  The. Was that?
• 1:56:10
  What year was that? That was like 2012 probably.
• 1:56:14
  That that was a different environment.
• 1:56:17
  Think about I was thinking about this where where we come from.
• 1:56:19
  I want to make this point before I get on to that point.
• 1:56:22
  Their whole thing was by athletes for athletes, right?
• 1:56:26
  Nothing, nothing about that shouts for affiliates like it's
• 1:56:31
  not it, not the the athletes are barely for the community.
• 1:56:37
  They're a marketing scheme. That's great.
• 1:56:40
  We want to support them, but like it's so not affiliate
• 1:56:45
  focused. And these are also the same
• 1:56:48
  people who have been talking about like divorce the games
• 1:56:51
  from the methodology and all that stuff.
• 1:56:56
  If we, if we go back several years, I remember when, you
• 1:57:00
  know, HWPO started affiliating, Mayhem started affiliating and
• 1:57:05
  we didn't have a crazy like out roar about that, right?
• 1:57:10
  So playing devil's advocate, why are we having an out roar about
• 1:57:14
  this? Sick fit Scottsdale sick.
• 1:57:19
  Yeah, yeah, I, I don't know. I mean, I think people are
• 1:57:31
  definitely upset about it. But why?
• 1:57:34
  If you can affiliate with Mayhem and you can affiliate with WHWPO
• 1:57:39
  and all this other stuff, why are you upset about this?
• 1:57:44
  I think it's because exactly what John said, like you're,
• 1:57:49
  you're, you're not trying to compete with CrossFit.
• 1:57:56
  You're an alternative competition.
• 1:58:00
  Another opportunity. Another opportunity that you
• 1:58:02
  then put your first competition in May when you know that's when
• 1:58:08
  semifinals are happening. Whether you know that that
• 1:58:10
  weekend or not, you know historically right around that
• 1:58:15
  time, that's when semifinals are going to be.
• 1:58:17
  So you put your first composition there.
• 1:58:18
  It's going to make it tough on them anyway.
• 1:58:20
  If anything, it they're going to prioritize WFP event and then
• 1:58:24
  they'll go to semifinals after that and try to, you know, at
• 1:58:26
  that point, take 10th place and qualify out of Europe or North
• 1:58:30
  America. Then like Hoffer talks about
• 1:58:35
  exclusivity next year and it's no.
• 1:58:38
  And there's all these different things that we keep hearing
• 1:58:41
  separately differently, like outside of the main channel.
• 1:58:46
  And then they they, you know, Maggie signed this thing two
• 1:58:49
  weeks ago. It.
• 1:58:52
  Was from the beginning. Like So what?
• 1:58:55
  What are you? Why are you trying to do it?
• 1:58:57
  Like when were you going to announce?
• 1:58:59
  It but like. Either you don't if either you
• 1:59:04
  have no idea what you're doing and it's all on the fly, or
• 1:59:07
  you're being super shady the entire time.
• 1:59:10
  Yeah, either way, I'm not for it.
• 1:59:16
  What was the lady's name? Maggie.
• 1:59:18
  Maggie. Yeah, Maggie.
• 1:59:20
  She also got into like what they offer and she pretty much said
• 1:59:23
  like, like, I think what they say like why are you doing this?
• 1:59:26
  And she was like basically, I like the people.
• 1:59:28
  And it's like she said it was not worth the investment, like
• 1:59:32
  the return wasn't worth it. Besides the people that she
• 1:59:34
  likes and knows she's. She's banking that something
• 1:59:36
  shows up down the road and now she's #1 right.
• 1:59:42
  Like I was the first one to buy the shirt and I have it I and if
• 1:59:46
  it blows up I could say I was the first one to buy the shirt.
• 1:59:50
  I still. I was in the first qualifier, I
• 1:59:52
  was in every single WFP qualifier.
• 1:59:56
  You're also. Going to affiliate your garage?
• 2:00:00
  Do they have that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, they can.
• 2:00:03
  They've it's been in the plans. From the beginning.
• 2:00:06
  I'll ask you, yeah, I can't get over like what's the return?
• 2:00:11
  And you know, the people have compared it to Hyrox, like
• 2:00:15
  there's Hyrox affiliates now and like Proven, Proven's a Hyrox
• 2:00:19
  affiliate and a CrossFit affiliate.
• 2:00:22
  And my point with that is that the consumer overlap is not 100%
• 2:00:28
  like Hyroxers. There's a lot more they.
• 2:00:31
  Don't want to do a barbell work? For the most part, if you're
• 2:00:34
  doing right, you want to run and you want to do some fitness.
• 2:00:38
  The thought is a lot of those people will convert eventually
• 2:00:41
  to CrossFit when they get bored with Hyrox.
• 2:00:43
  Cool, so the the the overlap of consumers is 100% people who do
• 2:00:51
  WFP and want to go to a WFP affiliate are cross fitters.
• 2:00:55
  But the same thing can be said for a Mayhem affiliate, right?
• 2:00:59
  But you get more brand recognition and more clout with
• 2:01:05
  being a Mayhem affiliate than you do with anything that's WFP.
• 2:01:09
  I like what's it what's it mean if it's a WFP affiliate?
• 2:01:12
  What am I going to get if I show up?
• 2:01:15
  I don't know what that means. We have what, 3-4 workouts?
• 2:01:20
  Yeah, and there's going to be a rec league.
• 2:01:22
  But they're not doing programming, so that's not going
• 2:01:26
  to be an offering for affiliates.
• 2:01:28
  But they'll send you stuff to work on once a week to get ready
• 2:01:32
  for the rec league, that happens every three months.
• 2:01:35
  That's the other crazy. I I'm so glad you brought this
• 2:01:38
  up. The open is such a hype event
• 2:01:43
  because we do it one time a year.
• 2:01:45
  And I'm not saying we shouldn't do other community stuff.
• 2:01:47
  There used to be the team series.
• 2:01:48
  I think they're like. But those, those were fairly
• 2:01:50
  flat. I know Dave's talking about
• 2:01:52
  bringing that stuff up, but. That not they they don't really
• 2:01:56
  get the the team series was super flat, like not a whole lot
• 2:01:59
  of people. I think it was like the first
• 2:02:01
  year was a big hit, and then after that it faded super quick,
• 2:02:04
  right? He's blowing his nose.
• 2:02:07
  What are you talking about? You got a Bunny over there.
• 2:02:09
  Oh. This, this guy, I've been, I've
• 2:02:11
  been stressed balling this guy. There's a Bunny over here on my
• 2:02:15
  desk and I don't know why it's over here, but I've been, I've
• 2:02:17
  been like just stressed balling it like this whole entire
• 2:02:20
  podcast. Is this stress balling?
• 2:02:21
  Are you? Are you stressed about it by
• 2:02:23
  this topic? No, I I don't know, I don't care
• 2:02:28
  about this topic, but the the no in the entire like mountain when
• 2:02:33
  I was talking, I was just just just just squeezing in passion
• 2:02:36
  right here. This is railing too hard.
• 2:02:42
  But yeah, doing it too many times.
• 2:02:44
  I mean 2019. It's going to.
• 2:02:46
  So, so let's pretend that this takes off and people are doing
• 2:02:52
  this quarterly. People are not going to want to
• 2:02:54
  do the open. It's going to, I don't think.
• 2:02:57
  People want to do, I don't think affiliates will want to do this
• 2:03:02
  every quarter. No, I don't think people will
• 2:03:05
  want to do it every quarter. In 2019.
• 2:03:07
  We had the open for the 2019 games in February like normal.
• 2:03:11
  And then we went and turned it around in October for the 20
• 2:03:15
  season and that was the absolute lowest of all years because
• 2:03:20
  people didn't want to do it twice.
• 2:03:23
  And, you know, the the open where it is is like perfect,
• 2:03:30
  right? Kids have already gotten back
• 2:03:31
  into school. I mean, there's a little bit of
• 2:03:32
  like spring break. There's, you know, you may have
• 2:03:34
  some issues there, but for the most part, it's like the perfect
• 2:03:37
  time. Try running this in the summer.
• 2:03:42
  Everybody's out of town, everybody's doing stuff.
• 2:03:45
  You do it in the fall, everybody's going back to
• 2:03:46
  school. There's football, there's all
• 2:03:48
  kinds of stuff that's going on. Football in the winter, there's
• 2:03:51
  all the holidays. College football.
• 2:03:55
  Right. Right before March Madness,
• 2:03:57
  there's no sports happening like it's.
• 2:04:00
  Yeah, I mean, you got high school football on Friday night.
• 2:04:02
  It's like Friday Night Lights is now not.
• 2:04:04
  Going to high school football. Yeah, like all that stuff is
• 2:04:07
  going to happen. 8th grade football, like I mean.
• 2:04:12
  How many more? Versions of football can you
• 2:04:14
  throw out there? Flat flag football, I mean.
• 2:04:18
  So. Intramural football and college,
• 2:04:20
  Like dude, it's a lot, dude. It's football season.
• 2:04:27
  I don't think people want to do that.
• 2:04:30
  Like I don't want to go do another open in three months.
• 2:04:34
  Me either, I love it. Even if it's, even if it's a
• 2:04:37
  different modality, whatever she was trying to say that it was
• 2:04:40
  like, we'll do strongman one time.
• 2:04:42
  First of all, if you go do strongman and you're going to
• 2:04:43
  start throwing sand like who's? Going to.
• 2:04:46
  Have John will sign up. No, yeah, I like, I'm good.
• 2:04:50
  Man, but if you're requiring like sandbags and D balls and
• 2:04:54
  whatever else, that lot of gyms don't have that or enough to
• 2:04:59
  make it worthwhile to host something like that for a lot of
• 2:05:01
  people. If it's weightlifting only like,
• 2:05:06
  I'm not doing it like. I'm not doing it.
• 2:05:10
  And I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it either.
• 2:05:12
  I listen. I would only do what we're all
• 2:05:14
  doing. You know what I mean?
• 2:05:15
  It doesn't matter if I'm good at it or bad at it.
• 2:05:17
  If we're all doing it, I'll do it.
• 2:05:18
  If we're all not doing it, I'm not I.
• 2:05:20
  Won't it's like the rogue challenge, like the I think this
• 2:05:22
  this month like those guys were talking about doing the the
• 2:05:25
  five. Minute Echo by Yeah, they said
• 2:05:27
  that and I'm like, that's cool guys, you go get it right?
• 2:05:30
  I'm not about to be anywhere close to.
• 2:05:32
  You what's the what's the turn out for?
• 2:05:35
  Like the Rogue challenges, it's not.
• 2:05:36
  Crazy. It's like 70 dudes and like 30
• 2:05:39
  women, maybe a little bit more. Like it's not like it's only
• 2:05:43
  people that are. You wouldn't do it unless you
• 2:05:46
  thought you could win. Exactly, exactly.
• 2:05:49
  That's that's what you're getting.
• 2:05:50
  And again, like if it's a weightlifting total, I don't
• 2:05:54
  need to pay $25.00 to go lift with my class that I probably
• 2:05:59
  could do on a Saturday and open gym and know where my numbers
• 2:06:03
  are. I mean if you were into.
• 2:06:05
  That nobody's going to press with my snatch and clean and
• 2:06:07
  jerk. Like, cool, I'm, I'm right this
• 2:06:09
  far down. I know I'm this far down on
• 2:06:11
  weightlifting. But you would just go to like an
• 2:06:13
  Olympic meet. They have little Olympic meets
• 2:06:16
  everywhere. Like if you wanted to do that,
• 2:06:18
  you wouldn't sign. You would just go do that with
• 2:06:20
  like, you know, your, your friends are doing Olympic
• 2:06:23
  lifting. Like I take the girls to go do
• 2:06:25
  an Olympic meets all the time. Not all the time, but like twice
• 2:06:28
  a year. And we take it really serious,
• 2:06:31
  but like if there was like a weightlifting thing, I don't
• 2:06:33
  think we would just hop on the train and do it like what's, you
• 2:06:35
  know what I mean? Right.
• 2:06:38
  So I don't know, I mean. I.
• 2:06:41
  I we'll see. Maybe it's accident and we'll
• 2:06:44
  get on a podcast. Maybe we'll join our show.
• 2:06:46
  I don't know. Just wonder what else they're
• 2:06:49
  going to try to. What else is in the works that
• 2:06:52
  we'll find out next week. I'm sure it's seminars and I
• 2:06:56
  think that's coming soon. Who would who would create a?
• 2:06:59
  Seminar by the World Fitness Project.
• 2:07:02
  I'm sure Saxon would. What would it be?
• 2:07:06
  About he's heading up all their community stuff.
• 2:07:08
  He's the community guy. How do you even go about
• 2:07:10
  creating something like that? A seminar for what?
• 2:07:13
  It's easy, dude. They're just going to take the
• 2:07:16
  athletes that are bound by soul to a contract and send them to
• 2:07:22
  some podunk town in Mississippi, some gym in Miss, WFP gym in
• 2:07:26
  Mississippi, and then people are going to get to hang out with
• 2:07:29
  athletes for two days. That sounds cool Speaking of
• 2:07:32
  bound by that drug testing they're all getting drug tested
• 2:07:36
  and sharing it on social media that they're they're fulfilling
• 2:07:39
  their story obligation. I thought it was interesting
• 2:07:42
  real quick before we wrap this up, because we're really late 1
• 2:07:46
  drug free sport, same group that does CrossFit drug testing,
• 2:07:52
  Dallin and Jason knew the guy who's done their drug testing.
• 2:07:56
  So it's the exact same person, same people.
• 2:07:59
  And looking at the drug testing policy that just came out, world
• 2:08:03
  fitness projects, the one that announces the positive results.
• 2:08:08
  So if you complain about what CrossFit does with their drug
• 2:08:11
  testing, it's the exact same situation.
• 2:08:14
  There's nothing different of it's not, there's not a
• 2:08:17
  different like entity that then would would see the results and
• 2:08:21
  and hand out the sanctions. It's the it's the same.
• 2:08:25
  If you had a problem with Crossfit's drug testing, you'd
• 2:08:27
  have a problem with World Fitness Project drug testing,
• 2:08:31
  so. Because it's right.
• 2:08:37
  It's the most Poed knock of all the Poed dunks.
• 2:08:39
  Like that's why. Yeah, I'm.
• 2:08:42
  I'm hitting. I'm not punching down.
• 2:08:43
  I'm hitting straightforward. Like.
• 2:08:47
  Yeah. I mean, everybody in Arkansas
• 2:08:49
  loves everybody in Mississippi because Mississippi is the only
• 2:08:53
  state that's separating Arkansas from being the worst state in
• 2:08:55
  America. And with that, we'll see you
• 2:09:02
  guys next week. Make sure you like and subscribe
• 2:09:05
  and we will catch you next week. I apologize to absolutely
• 2:09:12
  nobody.
