Lunch with the Clydesdale - Finally We Have Quarterfinals to Watch! · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:03
What's up, everybody?
0:04
Workouts, workouts, workouts everywhere,
0:06
everywhere, everywhere.
0:09
And we're going to talk about them next.
0:23
It's lunch time.
0:24
Yay!
0:53
what is going on everybody it is indeed
0:56
lunch time nice mid-afternoon break for me
1:02
and hopefully you the crew and of course
1:07
cowboy is back with us today how was
1:11
uh how was your easter lunch oh if
1:14
you have not had a primary school lunch
1:17
in quite some time i highly recommend
1:19
going get one
1:22
Chicken, dirty rice, green beans,
1:25
bread roll, chocolate milk.
1:27
Who doesn't like chocolate milk, Scott?
1:30
Especially when it comes to those little
1:31
cartons like you get at school.
1:33
They don't have it in the carton.
1:34
There's a little plastic bottle about that
1:36
big.
1:37
Man, there goes our environment.
1:39
Oh, yes, right away.
1:41
Next thing you know,
1:41
there'll be plastic straws everywhere,
1:44
which actually did come with a plastic
1:46
straw.
1:47
There's nothing I hate more than a paper
1:48
straw.
1:49
No.
1:51
Paper straws are pretty much one of the
1:54
worst things ever invented as far as I'm
1:56
concerned.
1:57
Yeah,
1:57
I'd rather have a hollow noodle than a
1:59
paper straw.
2:00
Yes.
2:02
The noodle is going to last longer than
2:04
a paper straw would.
2:06
Yeah,
2:07
the texture of like paper on my tongue
2:09
makes me want to vomit immediately.
2:12
When especially once it starts
2:14
disintegrating,
2:14
because that's what happens if you put
2:16
paper in water.
2:18
I don't know if y'all know that.
2:19
I mean,
2:19
I wouldn't papers made out of but it's
2:21
a lot of water in there.
2:23
Yeah, insane.
2:26
Shanna says, holy cow,
2:27
Colton just went unbroken in the handstand
2:28
pushups.
2:29
So fun to watch.
2:30
What's amazing, Shanna,
2:32
is Chris Ibarra went unbroken too,
2:35
and nobody noticed.
2:38
Nobody's going to notice.
2:41
were we were just talking about it and
2:43
it was like chris is going stupid fast
2:47
and you don't even pay attention to him
2:49
because colton just ripped through him
2:51
like it didn't even exist if chris was
2:53
doing the workout by himself you'd be like
2:55
man he's flying yes but put him beside
2:58
because they came off the rower at the
3:00
same time chris chose to take his shirt
3:02
off
3:04
That slowed him that got Colton,
3:05
ten reps because of how fast he does
3:07
handstand pushups.
3:09
But if Chris was doing it by himself,
3:11
he'd be like, man, he's flying.
3:13
Yeah.
3:14
If you're just watching Chris by himself
3:15
or the other dude that was in the
3:16
distance,
3:18
whoever that was off to the right,
3:19
he was also going super fast.
3:22
Right.
3:22
And you weren't, you like,
3:24
none of that mattered because Colton
3:26
kicked up and he was like, buh, buh,
3:27
buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh,
3:28
buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh.
3:30
Colton looks like the needle on a sewing
3:32
machine.
3:34
It's insane.
3:38
So Jody, I did not have the,
3:41
I actually had it muted because I was
3:43
talking to Corey before we went live on
3:44
the show.
3:45
So I don't know what was said about
3:46
him.
3:47
I was just like, Chris is killing this,
3:50
but Colton is going so fast.
3:52
It looks,
3:53
it makes him look like he's going slow.
3:56
It's like what Siobhan said about Matt
3:57
Fraser at the games.
3:58
It's like nobody's paying attention to
4:00
anybody else but him whenever he's on the
4:03
floor because he's just destroying
4:05
everything.
4:06
It's the same thing watching Colton just
4:07
now.
4:08
The other guys are doing really good,
4:10
and Chris was absolutely killing it,
4:12
but it didn't matter because Colton,
4:16
it was on a whole different level,
4:17
and they both went unbroken.
4:20
Yeah.
4:20
And I just got done watching the girls
4:22
go on from the girls,
4:24
unfiltered fee and Alexis and Alexis tried
4:29
to go on broken and went to.
4:33
Because she got sweaty and her hate,
4:36
she started sliding.
4:37
Yeah.
4:38
It's the worst thing in the world.
4:41
Yeah.
4:43
All you can do is kick down,
4:45
try to wipe your hand off,
4:46
and then kick back up.
4:47
There's no saving that once you're upside
4:49
down.
4:53
Daniel Arnson,
4:54
is Corey ready to admit he's been doing
4:55
all the workouts before the window?
4:58
Everybody thinks that you weren't here
5:00
because you were off sneaking the workouts
5:02
in.
5:03
Negative.
5:04
I am not that guy.
5:07
Here's the thing.
5:08
If I would have...
5:10
I would guarantee, I can get,
5:11
I was talking to Jenny about this
5:12
yesterday.
5:13
I said,
5:14
I'm videoing my workouts for a couple of
5:15
reasons.
5:16
Number one, for my own stuff.
5:17
Number two,
5:18
because I came on here earlier during the
5:21
week and I was like,
5:21
these are dumb workouts, whatever.
5:23
I was like, I'm asked,
5:24
I put a target on my back.
5:25
It's like,
5:26
I am going to get asked for my
5:27
workouts.
5:27
So I, one hundred percent video,
5:29
like I videoed yesterday.
5:30
I did the, uh,
5:32
the squat clean bar muscle up one.
5:34
And I'm recording the other three as well.
5:36
And it's like,
5:37
if I would have tried to do them
5:39
early, even if I wouldn't have, you know,
5:42
said what I said publicly,
5:44
I guarantee you I would have got asked
5:45
for them.
5:46
Hey, can we see your videos?
5:47
No.
5:50
with no time stamps and then i would
5:52
have been immediately extra uh extradited
5:55
out of my age group forever so that
5:59
that brings me to i don't know if
6:00
you had a chance to see the inaugural
6:03
episode of girls unfiltered no i started
6:06
watching it this morning and then i had
6:08
a customer come in and i had some
6:09
other stuff to take care of so i
6:10
did not get the chance to watch it
6:12
yet but from all the comments it seems
6:13
like it went fantastically
6:16
It was a fun watch.
6:19
They did seem to unveil a lot more
6:22
than most people have done in the past
6:26
on their podcast.
6:27
It's more in the vein of Boys Interrupted
6:29
than previous athlete podcasts.
6:33
And in that vein,
6:35
you know how much I love Fisa Goffey.
6:38
She's an Ohio girl.
6:39
I've known her for a long time.
6:41
I've had some special moments with her at
6:43
events like
6:46
And she is one of the coolest people
6:49
I've met in the space.
6:51
But she said something last night that got
6:54
my ears up and my antenna perked.
6:57
And she said that when she first qualified
6:59
for the games,
7:01
they were talking about their biggest
7:06
online blunders in the past.
7:10
And she had done a workout.
7:12
It was the wall ball...
7:16
Maybe the wall ball row from like, like,
7:19
seventeen, eighteen ish.
7:21
Nineteen.
7:21
I don't know.
7:22
Somewhere in there.
7:24
And she she did the workout and her
7:26
video had cut off ten minutes into the
7:29
workout.
7:32
So she redid it and the same thing
7:34
happened.
7:36
Jeez.
7:38
So.
7:40
They were out of time.
7:41
She submitted the score and said, well,
7:43
I hope they don't ask for that video.
7:48
CrossFit ends up asking for the video.
7:51
So she did it again after the open
7:55
was over videoed it and submitted that
7:58
video.
8:01
I don't think that's in the rules.
8:04
I'd have to go look it up specifically.
8:06
I don't even know.
8:07
You have to complete the workout in the
8:09
window.
8:09
Yeah.
8:10
Now she matched her score.
8:14
right to show that she had the capacity
8:16
to do it and it's it's eight years
8:18
ago we can't go back and prosecute at
8:20
this point right right but it just makes
8:24
me wonder like how many times have people
8:28
done that that's an excellent excellent
8:32
question
8:35
especially guys like, like fee,
8:36
like that's what she was doing at the
8:38
time.
8:38
Right.
8:38
Like I'm a, I'm an athlete.
8:39
I don't, I have time.
8:40
Like if,
8:42
if they called me Tuesday and said, Hey,
8:44
I don't have your,
8:45
do you have your video?
8:46
And I don't have it on my phone
8:47
saved.
8:48
I can't just leave from work or from
8:51
whatever I'm doing and be like, Hey guys,
8:53
I'll be back in two hours,
8:55
roll to the gym,
8:56
set all my stuff up, run through it.
8:59
Like do the whole thing.
9:00
I don't have, I'm forty years old.
9:02
I don't have time for all that.
9:05
Well, and Terry asked this question,
9:10
didn't they allow athletes to match or
9:11
beat their score back then with the new
9:13
video?
9:13
I don't believe they did.
9:15
I don't believe they did.
9:17
And what really got me perked up is
9:19
she was at Mentality at the time,
9:20
Scott Pancheck's gym.
9:22
And in the story,
9:23
she says she was off pace of her
9:26
original score.
9:28
And Scott came over and whispered to her,
9:30
you need to pick up the pace to
9:32
get there.
9:35
Scott is someone I respect more than
9:37
anybody in this space.
9:38
And the Panchecks are full of integrity
9:43
and full of
9:46
Good people, man.
9:48
I just don't know enough about that.
9:50
I wasn't even in media at the time.
9:51
I was a volunteer at West.
9:54
And, well,
9:58
Mark Phillips is doing some research for
9:59
us.
10:01
Well, I mean, Holly's not here.
10:02
Somebody's got to do it.
10:05
The video must be validated for the
10:07
athlete to receive an invitation for
10:08
regionals.
10:09
The video must demonstrate the athlete has
10:11
the work capacity required to achieve
10:13
their original posted open score.
10:17
Well, there you go.
10:18
I think it was two thousand nineteen mark.
10:20
If you want to dive into that,
10:22
because that's from the two thousand
10:23
sixteen rule book.
10:25
So she showed capacity and it was
10:28
validated by an affiliate.
10:32
And she did the workout three times like.
10:34
Yeah.
10:36
And she hit the score in the video.
10:39
I don't think it's a huge crime,
10:40
but if you go by what Toby Buckland
10:42
said yesterday,
10:43
cheating is cheating unless the rule book
10:46
is like that in XIX as well.
10:51
I think it was XIX was her first.
10:54
Her first.
10:58
So in Fee's case, right?
11:00
She got halfway through it,
11:02
camera shut off, whatever, right?
11:04
It's not like she didn't finish the
11:05
workout.
11:05
She won her percent finish.
11:06
She got witnesses, judges,
11:09
the people had mentality,
11:11
signing off on it,
11:12
realized her video didn't work,
11:14
did it again.
11:15
Same thing happens.
11:15
Now she's got two separate videos showing
11:17
at least half of it where she's flying
11:19
through this thing.
11:21
Submits it,
11:22
hopes for the best because she doesn't
11:23
have any time to do anything else.
11:24
At that point, you're just kind of stuck.
11:27
You're going to be at the mercy of
11:30
the judges.
11:32
In twenty twenty three,
11:34
I submitted my video for MFC and I
11:37
forgot to measure the wall ball target.
11:40
And I ended up being a backfill invite,
11:42
but they sent me an email and said,
11:44
Hey,
11:45
can you go back to the wall bar
11:46
target that you use,
11:47
measure it like quick light on camera,
11:49
and then send that to us so we
11:51
can confirm that, that one.
11:53
I was like, uh,
11:55
if you give me about.
11:56
Forty-five minutes to an hour.
11:57
I came in and we're like,
11:58
cool with that.
11:59
Send it to them.
12:00
And they now realize that's not HQ by
12:04
any stretch of the imagination,
12:05
but I was still at the mercy of
12:06
them.
12:08
for doing such a thing because like
12:10
clearly you did all the work i just
12:12
you forgot to do this one thing can
12:17
i just say we have the best chat
12:18
in the in the world not even for
12:20
like not even close
12:21
Our chat are funny.
12:24
They help me with segues.
12:26
They are, they do crack research.
12:29
Mark, you're, you're the best.
12:32
The submitted video must demonstrate the
12:34
athlete has the work capacity required to
12:36
achieve the original posted open score.
12:38
All right.
12:39
She's cool.
12:40
Good.
12:40
I learned something today.
12:42
Yeah.
12:44
What I mean, and that makes sense.
12:45
Like technology nonsense is going to
12:48
happen.
12:49
Not everybody's on the same schedule as
12:50
everybody else.
12:52
So that would be,
12:53
that would seem to be reasonable and it's
12:55
not obviously edited.
12:57
It's not.
13:01
Jody says you're all good looking too.
13:04
Of course, only the best here.
13:05
Oh, that's yeah.
13:11
Back then,
13:11
I think only the top people filmed their
13:13
workouts.
13:13
So people new to the games having a
13:15
great open were given the chance to submit
13:17
a video.
13:20
So there it is.
13:23
There it is.
13:26
Yeah, I again,
13:26
I was not in media back then.
13:28
I didn't start this podcast till the end
13:30
of twenty nineteen.
13:33
Um,
13:33
so I wasn't diving in and my first
13:35
year was not anywhere near what we are
13:37
today.
13:38
Um,
13:40
we were just hanging out chatting kind of
13:42
what Corey and I do.
13:43
Maybe I've come full circle.
13:46
Maybe anyway.
13:48
Um, Corey, have you done a workout yet?
13:58
Are you there, Corey?
14:00
Sorry, dude.
14:01
I lost audio for a second.
14:02
Say that again.
14:03
Have you done a workout yet?
14:06
Are you there?
14:07
Is it me?
14:09
No, it's me.
14:26
I'm gonna take myself out and come back
14:27
in.
14:28
Okay.
14:30
Mark says we can hear you both.
14:31
Yeah, I can't hear.
14:33
Yeah, Corey can't hear.
14:38
Yeah,
14:38
I was worried that it was my roadcaster
14:40
that happens every Sunday night,
14:43
so I was just doing that.
14:44
But while Corey's doing that,
14:46
I did check out Tyson Bajent did –
14:52
Tyson Bajan did the shuttle run workout.
14:56
He qualified for semifinal.
14:58
Shoot.
15:00
Tyson qualified for quarterfinals.
15:02
He's doing the workouts.
15:05
And he did the shuttle run workout this
15:07
morning.
15:07
And Hiller put it up.
15:10
So that's out there for you to view.
15:12
He did it against his brother, Ezra.
15:15
The coolest thing about the video is Ezra
15:17
looks like Tyson did three years ago.
15:21
Like an exact twin.
15:22
So it's like Tyson racing against himself.
15:26
It was like a before and after picture
15:28
doing the same workout.
15:29
That's fantastic.
15:34
And Ezra went out to a quick lead.
15:37
Tyson caught him, but I'm a Bears fan.
15:40
I follow Tyson all over the place.
15:42
So Tyson is way thicker today than he
15:46
was when he was a rookie coming into
15:48
the NFL.
15:49
And you have to do that in the
15:50
NFL or you are not going to last
15:52
the season.
15:55
And it's funny because Ezra is like
15:58
pre-thick Tyson.
16:04
That's fantastic.
16:06
On that workout,
16:07
Tyson went unbroken on the first set of
16:08
overhead squats and did two sets on the
16:11
second.
16:13
He moved through the burpees pretty quick.
16:15
Shuttles.
16:16
He had a really good time.
16:19
I was really impressed with that.
16:22
And he ended up beating his brother by
16:24
quite a bit at the end.
16:32
The coolest thing is they're opening a new
16:34
gym.
16:36
He got that guaranteed contract money
16:39
kicking in.
16:40
And so it's a beautiful facility.
16:43
But they don't have clips yet for the
16:44
bar.
16:46
And they don't have chalk.
16:48
Also a problem.
16:50
So he did the workout without chalk and
16:53
his dad took a band and wrapped it
16:58
around the end of the bar real tight
17:03
like a scrunchie on each side of the
17:05
weight so it wouldn't move.
17:08
Oh.
17:11
That dude.
17:12
And Hiller was like,
17:13
where'd you learn that?
17:14
And he said, survival school.
17:17
MacGyver class.
17:23
Travis is something else.
17:25
It is.
17:28
It is literally,
17:29
they are the funniest family.
17:31
They're so fun to watch.
17:32
They should have a reality show.
17:35
I mean,
17:37
they have enough footage right now that
17:38
they kind of,
17:39
they could kind of just put one together
17:40
from all the stuff that we've accumulated
17:42
over the, over the, over the years.
17:44
Just imagine some of the old videos and
17:46
then like showing,
17:47
starting off with Travis,
17:48
like doing the floor announcing stuff.
17:50
Cause he was as insane as he is
17:53
now.
17:53
He was batshit crazy when he was on
17:55
the floor, doing the floor now.
17:56
So in a good way,
17:58
like in the best way possible,
17:59
it would be fantastic to watch.
18:03
Jay Birch says poor people have poor ways.
18:05
And now they have this big guaranteed
18:07
quarterback contract money that he has,
18:10
and they still go with the old ways.
18:13
What boggles my mind is he's a rogue
18:16
athlete.
18:18
Like Bill and Katie.
18:22
I need some clips for these barbells.
18:27
And can you send me a pallet full
18:29
of chalk?
18:30
Yeah.
18:32
Yeah.
18:34
Rogue must shipping must be delayed
18:36
because they're busy hooking up Xenon.
18:39
Probably.
18:42
David Reed,
18:43
my daughter beat me in the shuttle run
18:44
workout.
18:45
She is now grounded.
18:48
And just for me, whoops, I missed it.
18:53
Solid parenting.
18:56
Absolutely.
18:59
And Jay Burch,
19:00
let's hear it for the eighteen eighty
19:01
three.
19:02
There we go.
19:03
If you weren't with us yesterday,
19:05
we learned that Jay Birch lives in
19:07
eighteen eighty three.
19:09
Oh.
19:10
And so.
19:12
We had a whole discussion about soap
19:14
sacks.
19:16
Because of Colton's hog scrub.
19:17
And you can order a soap sack to
19:20
go with it.
19:20
Yeah.
19:21
I got one years ago from Dollar Shave
19:24
Club.
19:25
And it's game changer, right?
19:26
Every bar of soap I have goes in
19:28
the soap sack.
19:30
And then I don't have to... It just...
19:32
It's everything in one.
19:33
And I just scrub and... Sure.
19:34
Makes sense.
19:36
Jay Bird says he has two hands,
19:38
a washcloth and soap, and he's fine.
19:40
I mean...
19:44
I feel like birds is very, very,
19:45
very Texas set in his ways.
19:48
Like I'm gonna do this my way.
19:49
And that's the way I'm gonna do it.
19:50
Cause it's the way I've been doing it
19:51
forever and it ain't broke and I ain't
19:53
fixing it.
19:53
Yeah.
19:55
Where I go with, Hey, if they make,
19:56
if they make something better,
19:58
I'll go ahead and give it a try.
20:00
Sure.
20:04
Uh, calluses equals scrubbers.
20:08
There you go.
20:10
Exfoliate with my calluses.
20:11
A hundred percent.
20:12
I got plenty of them.
20:16
All right.
20:16
So we had Tyson this morning and then
20:18
we had Alexis and, uh,
20:23
fee go later and they had special guest
20:27
commentators, Ty Jenkins, Hiller,
20:31
Tyson Bajan, uh, and Alex Kazan.
20:37
um it was really cool i thought they
20:40
did a great job that was their second
20:42
episode yeah dude so look i'm watching or
20:46
trying to trying to get caught up on
20:48
the the premiere from last night and then
20:52
i had hit you know click subscribe like
20:55
and subscribe everybody give us give us a
20:57
give us a i had to subscribe yeah
21:00
okay
21:03
Give us a scrub.
21:04
I hit there.
21:05
I hit the subscribe for theirs.
21:07
And then five minutes later,
21:10
I get a notification that they're going
21:11
live.
21:11
And I was like, that's wild.
21:14
Because I didn't know.
21:15
I mean, obviously,
21:15
I didn't get a chance to finish the
21:17
whole thing.
21:17
So I didn't know they were doing that
21:18
today.
21:19
And then there it is.
21:21
They went ahead and went live with that.
21:23
Like you said, pretty good crew.
21:25
i is i said this yesterday i think
21:29
it was yesterday he was on savan i
21:30
was like that kid is the most mature
21:34
twenty-year-old i think i've ever even
21:37
heard of it is insane he has an
21:41
eighty-five-year-old soul inside of a
21:43
twenty-year-old body it's fantastic to see
21:48
uh terry said that was a great show
21:49
really impressed with alex leading the
21:51
conversation we all predicted fee would be
21:53
the leader
21:55
That was not the case.
21:56
Alex pretty much took that over.
21:58
She also had a great take this morning
21:59
on online competitions.
22:02
And that competition is about being
22:07
prepared in that moment to let your
22:12
athleticism and your strategy take over
22:14
and either you succeed or you don't.
22:17
She hates online competitions because
22:19
people redo things three, four times.
22:22
And they get to practice things and get
22:24
to do it over and over again.
22:25
And it doesn't truly test the competitive
22:27
piece like it should.
22:31
I really, really enjoyed her take on that.
22:33
Yeah.
22:33
I mean, it makes sense.
22:37
I hate online qualifiers.
22:38
I've realized for the competition,
22:40
the level of competition I try to compete
22:42
at,
22:42
they're kind of a necessary evil at this
22:45
point.
22:45
But they are not fun to do, dude,
22:47
especially the ones I like.
22:48
Here's these six workouts.
22:50
You have two weeks to do them.
22:52
Because I know myself,
22:54
and I'm going to rethink it,
22:55
and I'm going to re-go over it.
22:56
I'm going to do this again.
22:57
And I'm like, well,
22:58
I'm going to try to...
23:00
And I try not to.
23:01
I really, really, really do try not to,
23:03
like, make it a whole thing.
23:05
But sometimes it ends up being a whole
23:07
thing.
23:09
The only plus side of it is that
23:10
if you completely put one into the stands
23:12
and you got time,
23:13
you can have another shot at it, right?
23:15
To be able to actually put your best
23:17
foot forward.
23:18
But I am not a fan of it.
23:20
I'm put undue stress on myself because of
23:24
it.
23:26
Trish says Rob calls her his soap sack.
23:32
Good.
23:33
Good.
23:34
I think when you train alone,
23:35
you don't have any other athletes to
23:36
compare scores like training camps or
23:39
watch other strategies.
23:40
It's very helpful still.
23:49
You don't get to practice during war.
23:52
That's very true.
23:57
But speaking of live,
23:59
feel alive every morning with Thirdsy.
24:02
All you have to do is use Thirdsy
24:04
at checkout,
24:05
get fifteen percent off your order or go
24:08
to Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.
24:11
Get that fifteen percent discount and feel
24:14
alive every morning and recovered after a
24:17
great night's sleep.
24:18
Getting that collagen protein,
24:20
not relying on those addictive things like
24:22
melatonin,
24:24
just getting a good solid night's sleep.
24:27
Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.
24:33
um oh trish said it's ron not rob
24:40
uh is was that a freudian slip trish
24:43
or um grant says abr always be redoing
24:53
because i can't find it again there it
24:57
is
24:59
Joseph Ramirez almost made myself sick
25:01
this morning before workout one,
25:03
the pressure.
25:04
There's no pressure, dude.
25:05
Just have fun with it.
25:07
No.
25:08
You will see me pacing around back and
25:10
forth before one of these.
25:12
Yesterday, I started the camera,
25:14
said the whole thing,
25:15
went and filmed my dumbbells,
25:19
my little five feet, blah, blah, blah,
25:20
whatever.
25:21
Went back and sat it down,
25:23
and then I'm pacing around to just kind
25:26
of –
25:28
And because I know,
25:29
because it happens every single time
25:30
before I do one of these,
25:31
is that I'm going to have to pee.
25:34
Like right before we start.
25:35
I'm like a pregnant lady.
25:36
Like I am going to have to pee
25:38
before any sort of activity.
25:39
So I just kind of wait until,
25:41
and then I looked at one of my
25:43
buddies like, and there it is.
25:44
I'll be right back.
25:46
Run, pee, came back, give him the nod,
25:48
time to go.
25:51
Train Olive says, Thirdsy made me,
25:53
my recovery from workout one so much
25:54
better.
25:55
Now I'm feeling jazzy for one today.
25:59
See how it works for quarterfinals?
26:00
It's amazing.
26:06
Rob is no one.
26:07
I hope Ron doesn't see this.
26:10
Rob might be the mailman.
26:13
I do have a lot of pressure.
26:17
That's because if you get up at seven
26:18
fifteen tomorrow morning and you tune in
26:22
to the Glintons podcast channel,
26:25
you can watch Joseph do a workout tomorrow
26:27
morning.
26:29
and you can root and cheer him on.
26:35
I'll be coaching.
26:36
Otherwise, I'll be watching.
26:40
Nothing wrong with redos and learning
26:41
different things at work.
26:43
It's different than in-person comps,
26:44
but it's part of training too and
26:46
learning.
26:46
Many top athletes redo yet say they don't
26:49
care.
26:50
Yeah.
26:53
Dude, I redid, uh,
26:55
twenty six three and blew my initial score
26:59
completely out of the water.
27:00
So thirteen reps better.
27:07
I like and subscribe.
27:08
Get Clydesdale three K.
27:10
We would love that so much.
27:12
We would.
27:14
We are so close.
27:15
We're like twenty one, twenty two away.
27:18
Something like that.
27:21
Everybody go tell one person.
27:24
That's all you have to do.
27:26
Send this to one person.
27:29
Hey, subscribe to this channel.
27:31
You won't regret it.
27:32
Uh, Joseph is the new Colton.
27:36
They're about the same size.
27:37
So yeah.
27:41
Joe sounds fit, man.
27:43
Yeah, he is.
27:45
Firm hand.
27:45
I met him at the games this year.
27:47
Firm handshake.
27:48
Good dude.
27:49
Fit guy.
27:51
Great beard.
27:54
Great beard.
27:55
Great beard.
28:00
Meg says she won't yell at him,
28:03
but Kenneth says he thrives on that.
28:09
Oh, Colton is way more wide.
28:14
I wouldn't say way more.
28:17
He's kind of hard for him to be
28:19
more wide.
28:23
So,
28:25
so then we had Colton and Chris Ibarra
28:27
go.
28:28
That was fun to watch.
28:29
The boys interrupted,
28:30
I think are going today at three thirty
28:33
eastern time.
28:33
I think that's right.
28:35
Yeah.
28:35
It's afternoon.
28:35
Two thirty central.
28:39
Sometime in the mountain.
28:40
Mountain time zone.
28:41
So then I got to figure it out.
28:42
Yeah.
28:45
All these damn time zones in our country.
28:50
So that's going to be fun.
28:52
I guess all four of them are going
28:54
at the same time.
28:56
So it will be a competition every event
29:00
through.
29:01
Do you think that's good for someone going
29:03
through quarterfinals like an elite
29:04
athlete?
29:06
Do you think they're going to push...
29:08
harder because they're doing it all
29:10
together i would if i got like there's
29:15
there's a couple people i know that i
29:17
can work out with train with um dude
29:20
that i do qualifiers like uh like this
29:23
with that are going to definitely make me
29:26
go a little bit faster than i would
29:27
because it's a rabbit to chase type deal
29:28
um do i think they would go as
29:33
hard as they would at the games
29:34
necessarily no not at all because it's not
29:37
worth it
29:38
All of these guys are making it through
29:39
to the next stage.
29:41
Most of them already have invites, right?
29:43
They're definitely going to finish inside
29:44
the top two thousand.
29:45
We don't have to worry about that.
29:47
And it's not necessary unless they're
29:50
trying to, like Colton,
29:51
who was trying to win money,
29:53
top five type type type deal.
29:56
You know,
29:56
they think they got a shot to do
29:57
that.
29:57
Then they might go a little bit harder,
29:59
even even than they naturally would.
30:02
But.
30:03
the risk versus reward,
30:05
especially with semifinals being so close,
30:08
it's probably not necessarily worth it to
30:09
go stupid hard.
30:13
You know,
30:13
one thing I left out is they're actually
30:15
collaborating with the Games channel on
30:18
YouTube.
30:19
So it'll broadcast both on their channel
30:22
and on the Games channel.
30:23
Cool.
30:24
And Carolyn is saying that the Games team
30:26
emailed athletes to see if they want to
30:28
go live around that same time today.
30:31
So lots will probably hop on their feed.
30:35
Dude, that's awesome.
30:39
Good on them.
30:40
Like, generate some hype, man.
30:40
Jenna Hauka, give that woman a raise.
30:44
What she has done during this open season
30:47
to expand the media,
30:49
the face of CrossFit media, is huge.
30:53
And to collaborate with these athletes
30:56
through the stages of the season is a
31:00
win-win for everybody.
31:03
You put more eyes on the athletes and
31:05
in turn put more eyes on the sport.
31:07
Good job.
31:10
Super good job.
31:11
Colleen.
31:12
I'm saying other athletes will be going
31:14
on.
31:14
I know Ariel said she was today in
31:16
her story.
31:18
Awesome.
31:21
I did turn my notifications on for one
31:23
of those.
31:24
I guess that's what that was.
31:25
Thanks, Carolyn.
31:25
I just came up and that was happening
31:28
and I went ahead and made sure I
31:30
put my notification on.
31:31
So I guess that means we just got
31:32
to have like a seven hundred screens going
31:35
picture and picture and picture and
31:36
picture.
31:37
It'll be like the two thousand twenty
31:39
rogue invitational.
31:40
Yeah.
31:41
We're all around the world with all the
31:43
little screens and.
31:45
That'll be cool shit.
31:47
I'm in for that.
31:50
That was truly one of my favorite events
31:53
ever because we're locked down with COVID
31:56
all around the world.
31:58
Instead of canceling,
31:59
Rogue came up with a creative way to
32:02
have all these screens up and you could
32:05
watch ten athletes at one time.
32:08
And I was lucky enough to be a
32:10
judge at that event.
32:11
And I was Saxon Pancheck's judge.
32:14
And so I was a part of,
32:15
I got to see the behind the scenes.
32:18
It was wild, dude.
32:19
It sounds like.
32:21
We had like a,
32:22
I think it was like Slack.
32:24
And I had an earbud in the whole
32:26
time I'm judging.
32:28
And the head judges are watching the
32:30
feeds,
32:31
giving you feedback in your ear during the
32:34
workouts.
32:36
Damn.
32:39
That sounds cool as hell.
32:40
It was.
32:41
But they weren't allowed music.
32:42
They weren't allowed anything like that.
32:44
So all I could hear was Saxon breathing
32:46
really hard and the head judge in my
32:49
ear.
32:52
Just Saxon.
32:55
Just running through it the whole time.
32:56
That's fantastic.
32:59
uh eleven a.m pacific uh eleven a.m
33:03
pacific time is when they're live that's
33:04
two p.m eastern one p.m central i always
33:08
got to get corey's time zone in there
33:09
for him nobody cares about mountain time
33:17
um but yeah that was such that was
33:18
such a fun event and it's cool that
33:22
and i and i'm shocked that nobody else
33:24
has made that like a thing
33:27
Right.
33:27
Let's do a comp.
33:28
You get to do it at your home
33:29
gym and it's all going to be online,
33:32
but we're going to give you live judges
33:35
and we're a production team to do all
33:37
that.
33:39
It'd be a huge cost savings to like
33:42
in-person comps,
33:43
but it still has that in-person comp feel
33:46
because you're being assigned a judge.
33:48
There's head judges.
33:50
There are standards that have to be met.
33:52
There were floor plans that had to be
33:54
meticulously laid out.
33:56
I'm just shocked it's never happened
33:58
again.
34:00
And there's also a chance of somebody
34:02
having Jeremy's wifi where signal just
34:05
drops out for no apparent reasons.
34:07
People start doing the max headroom.
34:09
Like they ran tests on all that stuff
34:13
and you had to have that.
34:15
And I wouldn't be surprised if rogue
34:17
didn't supplement them to get the best
34:22
wifi possible.
34:26
Yeah, slid them a twenty.
34:27
How's your Wi-Fi now?
34:30
Well, they sent equipment,
34:32
so they all had the same equipment.
34:35
They sent them GoPros,
34:37
so the cameras could be set up around
34:38
the floor plan.
34:40
That's pretty cool.
34:43
I mean,
34:43
they did put a lot of expense into
34:45
it, but at the end of the day,
34:46
I think it was probably cheaper than an
34:48
in-person comp.
34:53
I'm going to take your word for it.
34:57
I have absolutely no idea how much
34:58
in-person cop costs,
34:59
much less what all the rest of that
35:01
stuff is.
35:01
Well,
35:02
if the streams are two hundred grand,
35:05
that's the starting point.
35:07
This is probably less than that.
35:08
Yeah.
35:10
Jeremy says you're bullying him.
35:12
I'm not bullying his Wi-Fi because it's
35:14
terrible and everybody knows it.
35:17
So it's not bullying, it's facts.
35:20
Yeah, a hundred percent.
35:20
It's just stating the fact.
35:23
Any one of those Meg or C, look.
35:29
Jeremy, maybe get off,
35:30
dial up and Corey won't attack you.
35:34
People in Wisconsin don't have the finer
35:38
things like the rest of us in this
35:39
country do.
35:40
No,
35:40
I'm pretty sure his modem is made out
35:42
of cheese.
35:42
Yeah.
35:43
And they have,
35:43
they have crappy football teams,
35:46
crappy baseball teams.
35:49
know just the brewers brewers it's hard to
35:54
even say it's hard to say um and
36:00
i say that now my co-host is who's
36:02
a wisconsin badger is going to blow me
36:04
up uh nathan is the pot calling the
36:11
kettle black
36:17
They're still running the AOL disc.
36:20
Ten hours free.
36:27
Speaking of funny,
36:27
this was supposed to be Dad Joke Friday.
36:29
Oh, I can't prepare it.
36:31
Hold on.
36:31
So I have one for you.
36:34
And if anybody has one in the chat,
36:35
throw it in there.
36:36
Here's my dad joke of the Friday.
36:41
You know, when you watch Forrest Gump,
36:44
he's in a lot of historical moments.
36:47
What generation is he from?
36:56
That's an excellent question, Scott.
36:57
I'm going to have to defer to your
36:59
superior knowledge when it comes to that.
37:01
Of course, Forrest Gump's part of Gen A.
37:14
I went and found one.
37:15
So, you know,
37:18
that drinking alcohol negatively affects
37:22
the liver and leads to fatty liver,
37:24
you know, cirrhosis, all that good stuff,
37:27
which is actually a good thing because I
37:30
don't drink negatively.
37:31
I always drink with a pure heart and
37:33
good intentions.
37:33
So it's not really that big deal.
37:39
Joseph Ramirez with what do you call fake
37:41
spaghetti?
37:43
An impasta.
37:44
Impasta.
37:48
Why did the scarecrow win an award?
37:52
He was outstanding in his field.
37:54
He was one hundred percent outstanding in
37:56
her field.
37:58
I saw my wife slightly drunk one afternoon
38:01
yelling at a TV.
38:02
Don't go in there.
38:04
Don't stop.
38:05
You don't go into church.
38:06
I mean,
38:08
she was watching a wedding video again.
38:09
So.
38:14
Meg says, Joseph, get off the Google.
38:19
All right, so that's that.
38:22
What's your schedule for the weekend?
38:24
So I got the bar muscle-up,
38:26
squat clean one done.
38:27
I may or may not do that one
38:29
again Monday morning,
38:30
depending on how I feel.
38:32
Was it gripping?
38:34
Yeah, a hundred percent.
38:35
I'm actually glad you said that because I
38:39
am right-handed.
38:40
This is my dominant hand.
38:43
When I tell you I'm right-handed,
38:44
I do almost nothing with this.
38:48
And
38:48
The reason why I know that so well
38:50
is because yesterday once I got done,
38:52
I was laying on the ground for a
38:54
minute because I'm not Colton Burns.
38:56
I don't just walk off after I finish
38:57
doing one.
38:58
And I went to sit up and kind
39:01
of put my hands underneath me to scoop
39:03
myself up into a full sitting position.
39:05
And this part of my forearm was so
39:08
tight that my pinky was like this.
39:13
And I couldn't straighten it out.
39:17
Like I wanted to do this and put
39:19
my hand down and my pinky was like,
39:22
nah, bro, we ain't doing that.
39:24
And to the point, Scott, where like,
39:25
I went to drag it on the ground
39:27
to try to like straighten it out.
39:29
Like I like to force it and it
39:32
did nothing that it wouldn't, it wouldn't,
39:35
it wouldn't do any of that.
39:36
Uh, almost nothing, almost nothing.
39:42
And trait like that a lot.
39:46
Um, um,
39:47
Jeremy asked his son if he wanted to
39:49
hear a construction joke.
39:51
He said, sure,
39:51
and I told him I'm still working on
39:53
it.
39:56
Thanks, folks.
39:56
I'm here all week.
39:57
Try to be you.
39:59
Hey, Birch,
39:59
what kind of shoes do frogs wear?
40:04
Open-toed sandals.
40:09
Um, so you, I know you're,
40:11
you're recording all these workouts
40:13
because you've been trashing the workouts
40:15
and you just wanted to have video proof
40:17
that you're going to do them anyway.
40:18
A hundred percent.
40:19
A hundred percent.
40:20
So I feel like,
40:21
I feel like I'm going to get,
40:22
as soon as the submission window closes,
40:24
I'm going to get three emails from, uh,
40:26
from HQ that start off with, Oh,
40:29
you didn't think they was good, huh?
40:31
Where's your video at?
40:32
And go from there.
40:33
But yeah, no, I'm, I'm videoing them.
40:35
Uh,
40:36
Like I said, I did that one yesterday.
40:38
I may or may not take the rest
40:39
of the day off from quarterfinal stuff
40:42
just to let my lats and traps kind
40:44
of recover a little bit.
40:47
But I'm coaching tomorrow morning.
40:48
I'm going to get done with that about
40:50
nine my time.
40:52
Get warmed up.
40:53
Do the row handstand pushup tomorrow
40:57
morning.
40:57
You going to do a two like Alexis
40:59
Raptus?
41:00
Say that again?
41:00
No, probably not.
41:04
probably not uh no david johnson i did
41:06
not see magic city's post about videos i
41:17
just got distracted uh by squirrel anyway
41:20
so i'm gonna do that uh tomorrow morning
41:23
ish and then probably go home uh take
41:26
a shower eat some lunch relax for a
41:28
little bit come back in the afternoon and
41:30
do the uh
41:32
One,
41:33
the shuttle run overhead squat burpee.
41:38
And then Sunday,
41:39
I plan on knocking out the double under
41:42
deadlift one because I feel like that's
41:46
probably going to be the one that has
41:48
the most opportunity to jack somebody up.
41:54
I don't see a post by Magic City
41:56
about videos per se.
42:00
Oh, David said,
42:00
is there a really cryptic response to a
42:02
question about them requiring them?
42:07
Okay.
42:09
I did read the statement yesterday on the
42:10
show that they said about there's no
42:15
required video submission,
42:17
but people are saying it's not important,
42:19
blah, blah, blah.
42:20
And they're saying it should matter.
42:23
And it does actually matter because
42:25
they're bringing the top people in,
42:26
but it doesn't say anything about them
42:29
requiring anything.
42:30
What I got out of that is that
42:32
they're not inviting anybody just based on
42:35
past performance.
42:39
So like Delmore been sending out invites
42:44
more or less as they announced.
42:47
And look, that's their problem.
42:48
You can do whatever you want.
42:54
And from what I saw, Magic City said,
42:57
well, we're not doing that.
42:59
You want to get invited here,
43:01
you need to do well in quarterfinals.
43:04
So a response to a comment,
43:05
are you doubling down on integrity for
43:07
athletes and their judges or is Magic City
43:10
Games requiring videos?
43:12
And their response was section two point
43:14
oh six.
43:15
It's the thing we read from Ben Smith
43:17
that any athlete with a qualifying score
43:20
on any quarterfinal workout may be
43:21
required to provide video of their
43:23
performance.
43:24
As a result,
43:25
we recommend that all athletes in a
43:27
qualifying position be prepared to provide
43:29
proof of their performance if requested.
43:32
That's Dave Horton started that the judges
43:36
judge right there.
43:38
And then Mr.
43:39
Miss Jamie confidently waiting for a
43:42
response as well,
43:44
which I don't know why she's like awaiting
43:45
a response to this, you know, damn good.
43:47
And well, she's recording her video, her,
43:48
her workouts.
43:49
Yeah.
43:49
I already saw her shuttle run overhead
43:53
squat workout.
43:54
She sent it to me this morning.
43:56
Um,
43:57
What that woman is battling through right
43:59
now with injuries and stuff,
44:03
I feel for her.
44:05
I want her to have,
44:06
because she has never competed in a year
44:09
that I've known her uninjured.
44:12
Right.
44:13
Yeah, something's always been wrong.
44:15
And she was supposed to be out this
44:18
whole season because of hip surgery.
44:20
I wish she would get everything fixed so
44:23
that she doesn't go through the
44:24
frustration of this another season.
44:27
I'm going to tell you as an athlete,
44:28
it's, it's hard to,
44:29
it's a hard pill to swallow.
44:31
I know.
44:32
I get it.
44:33
You don't want to, you know,
44:34
you only have so much time on this
44:36
earth.
44:37
You want to get everything you can out
44:38
of it,
44:40
but do you want to get the quality?
44:42
Do you want to have a,
44:43
like that woman is fitter than most
44:46
people.
44:46
I know.
44:48
Fitter than a lot of dudes.
44:50
I know like that was,
44:51
she would smoke them with the dudes
44:52
weights is what I'm getting at.
44:55
And doing what she's done with,
44:59
torn labrum in her shoulder,
45:02
her hip being all out of whack is
45:05
just ridiculous.
45:06
And I, I don't,
45:09
I don't want to comment too much cause
45:10
we talked about it today,
45:11
but I'll let her talk about specifics.
45:14
I just feel for her because I want
45:16
her to do so well.
45:17
She's one of my best friends in the
45:19
world.
45:20
And, um, and I,
45:23
I just want it to be good for
45:24
her.
45:25
And she's still putting up awesome scores
45:27
and,
45:28
at sixty seventy percent capacity maybe
45:33
which is unreal she's ridiculous dude
45:36
she's ridiculous it's a it's not even so
45:40
much you only got so much time on
45:41
this earth like you start feeling like you
45:43
build a momentum and like i can do
45:46
this even though i'm dragging my foot
45:49
behind me the entire time because it's not
45:51
working like it's supposed to i can still
45:54
do this and if i can
45:58
Why not do it?
45:59
And then you, or you fall into,
46:00
I don't say a trap,
46:01
but like you fall into that mindset where
46:02
you're like, well,
46:05
I might only be able to do them
46:06
so fast,
46:06
but I'm just going to do them.
46:08
And we'll just see what happens.
46:09
And we'll just see what happens.
46:11
And in the meantime,
46:12
the nagging stuff gets worse.
46:14
Right.
46:15
Or doesn't get or maybe not doesn't
46:18
necessarily gets worse,
46:19
but doesn't get any better.
46:20
I mean, I've done it.
46:22
I would think most, you know,
46:24
serious semi-serious competitors in our
46:28
space have done it where you like you
46:30
just you brush it off.
46:31
I can work through it.
46:32
It's fine.
46:33
i can work through it it's fine it's
46:34
i'm telling you my pt asked somebody uh
46:40
about their plantar fasciitis one day when
46:42
he was still at the gym and they
46:44
were like like what when does it hurt
46:48
well only if i stand on it or
46:49
if i walk or and he just started
46:51
laughing so typical athlete response it
46:53
only hurts when i'm awake like it's
46:57
yeah yeah i just i i just want
46:59
the best for her and hope she gets
47:01
that somehow um she's the best so anyway
47:07
there's something else i had for that and
47:10
i lost it oh well there it is
47:14
i forget why we'll be requiring some
47:16
videos which has got to be a bright
47:18
sign for you yeah i mean i'm recording
47:22
everything
47:24
If they ask for it,
47:26
it's a case of I would rather have
47:28
it and not need it than need it
47:30
and not have it.
47:31
Any day of the week.
47:33
Yeah.
47:37
Got anything?
47:38
There was one good joke I missed.
47:46
Jay Burch, never believe in an atom.
47:48
They make everything.
47:49
They make up everything.
47:51
That's a good one.
47:52
My wife told me,
47:53
don't get upset if somebody calls you fat.
47:56
You're much bigger than that.
48:01
Terry said,
48:02
every time my kids hurt themselves,
48:03
my husband would say, does your face hurt?
48:06
Because it's killing me.
48:07
Because it's killing me.
48:15
So there it is.
48:18
All right.
48:19
So this weekend, hopefully,
48:22
it'd be really cool if we had a
48:25
video or two to show on this show
48:26
or at least some clips of some videos
48:29
of Mr.
48:29
Corey since you're videoing him anyway.
48:32
Oh, yeah.
48:33
I'll send you mine in a little bit.
48:37
I can put them up on the channel
48:39
if you're good with it.
48:41
Or we can show them on Monday.
48:45
Yeah, but they say Monday is probably,
48:47
I mean, look,
48:47
I'm not worried about anybody looking at
48:49
my videos and going, oh,
48:50
that's what we should do.
48:52
Yeah, like that's not a big deal.
48:54
At the very least,
48:56
all we got to do is cut the
48:56
timer out of it,
48:58
which is easy because I did it on
49:02
week time and the camera score is at
49:04
the bottom.
49:05
But yeah,
49:05
ain't nobody looking at it going,
49:09
that's my strategy right there,
49:10
what that guy's doing.
49:12
I should probably...
49:14
what's your comfort i'd say that i'd say
49:16
that i'm not fit i understand that i
49:17
am well aware that i am fairly freaking
49:20
fit for my age group um but nobody's
49:22
looking to me and going oh well let
49:25
me check and see what corey's doing on
49:27
this one probably i mean maybe somebody is
49:31
i don't know uh jeremy says go pack
49:33
go bucks go brewers eat it scott
49:38
Brewers.
49:41
Can I say one thing?
49:43
Yesterday was opening day for the Pirates.
49:46
They were my favorite team.
49:48
My favorite big market team are the Mets.
49:49
They actually had to play the Mets
49:51
yesterday.
49:54
Paul Skeens is the one bright light we
49:56
have in Pittsburgh.
49:58
LSU boy.
49:59
You mean LSU standout Paul Skeens that won
50:01
a national championship?
50:02
That guy?
50:04
I'm just saying.
50:06
He sucked yesterday.
50:08
I mean, hey, bro.
50:10
Can't be right on that.
50:11
Two-thirds of an inning.
50:12
Gave up five runs.
50:14
Oof.
50:16
In two-thirds of an inning?
50:18
Dropped two balls.
50:23
Ugh.
50:23
I've already lost hope, dude.
50:27
If he was tired from Worlds, Megs,
50:29
it's because nobody else showed up to play
50:30
at Worlds.
50:31
That was terrible to watch.
50:33
Yeah,
50:34
he won them the game that got them
50:35
to the finals.
50:37
Yeah,
50:38
he just looked like he was missing the
50:40
strike zone by that much.
50:44
I'm going to tell you this.
50:45
Aaron Judge did that and then did not
50:50
show up for Worlds and then did not
50:51
show up for opening day as well.
50:53
That dude struck out four times on opening
50:55
day.
50:58
Aaron Judge, who's supposed to be like...
51:01
And speaking of judging in like CrossFit
51:03
and not Aaron Judge,
51:04
but judging in CrossFit, you know,
51:07
they've done this new thing where you can
51:09
fight balls and strikes,
51:11
but you're limited to two times a game
51:13
where you can challenge it.
51:15
So they gave people challenges and
51:18
Right.
51:19
And what it does is if you challenge
51:21
it,
51:21
it goes to the robot that you see
51:23
the little box on TV where the ball
51:25
goes through the box.
51:27
Yeah.
51:27
Everybody that challenged it was wrong.
51:29
The umpire was right.
51:34
Isn't that awesome?
51:36
So I know we run along,
51:39
but Little League coaches...
51:44
tell pitchers and batters don't argue with
51:48
the um right that's like a that's like
51:52
a you learned that in little league don't
51:54
argue with them let me argue with them
51:57
and even them nine times a day arguing
51:59
balls and strikes what are you going to
52:00
do about that like all you do is
52:02
piss him off and now he's going to
52:04
call it even tighter or worse like stay
52:08
in your lane let them do what they
52:09
do that's hilarious
52:11
Yeah, to challenge the ball or strike,
52:13
you're supposed to tap your helmet.
52:17
Well, hell,
52:17
I'd probably fidget and do that.
52:20
Yeah, I would be like.
52:20
No, no, no, I'm not challenging.
52:21
Put the bat down, adjust my back gloves,
52:24
make sure I do all of this.
52:25
Oh, you watch.
52:26
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
52:27
Oh, no, let's not do that.
52:32
Well, in the one case,
52:33
I think it was a Yankee,
52:35
and he was crowding the plate.
52:36
And so the ball came in tight on
52:38
him, right?
52:39
And immediately he's like, boom, boom,
52:40
boom.
52:41
And they go to the thing.
52:43
That thing was right on the line of
52:45
being a strike.
52:46
He just crowded the plate.
52:48
It was his own fault.
52:49
Yeah,
52:49
if you stand over the top of the
52:51
plate, bro.
52:53
But it shows you that, like,
52:56
like we bitch about judging all the time
52:59
in the media,
53:00
the athletes bitch about it all the time.
53:02
Right.
53:03
A lot of times they're right.
53:06
You're not aware of like what you,
53:08
what you're going through or where your
53:10
body is in that moment.
53:14
I just thought it was a good example
53:15
of like,
53:16
sometimes the judge does know best.
53:20
Which takes me to like John Wood made
53:22
a post today It really pissed me off
53:25
And I debated whether Or not And I
53:30
don't We'll leave it I'll pull it up
53:34
and then we'll leave it at that You
53:36
guys can determine Whether what you
53:38
thought I don't know If he's just trying
53:42
to get people pissed off It would appear
53:44
so
53:51
So here it is.
54:00
Qualification for semis of this year is
54:02
absolutely insane.
54:03
I don't think you could make a worse
54:04
format for athletes.
54:06
All right,
54:07
I can go with that for now.
54:10
The only reason I'm expressing my concern
54:11
is I've been on the other side.
54:13
When you don't want to question the system
54:14
you're playing in,
54:16
majority of the media in our space
54:17
entirely believe HQ can do no wrong.
54:20
I don't know if I've listened to a
54:22
podcast in this space that hasn't been
54:24
critical of HQ.
54:26
That's a blatant lie.
54:29
Unless the only place he's been watching,
54:31
I don't even know if Morning Chalk Up
54:33
has said anything like, whoa,
54:35
HQ's just doing a great job.
54:38
Unless he's watching the CrossFit podcast
54:40
only.
54:41
Correct.
54:42
Because everybody else from us to Savant,
54:46
pick one.
54:48
Right.
54:48
Everybody is critical of HQ.
54:51
Uh,
54:52
the top athletes don't care to speak up
54:54
because their establishment is their
54:56
livelihood.
54:59
Right.
54:59
Okay.
55:01
um just get fitter and you'll qualify i've
55:03
been within a few places of qualifying for
55:05
the games twice if i took my all-time
55:07
best placement at quarters i would still
55:09
not be good enough to make a semi-final
55:11
with the current structure we have we're
55:13
going to have the same thirty athletes
55:14
competing at multiple semi-finals that's
55:17
not true just because they've accepted
55:19
invites now doesn't mean they're not going
55:22
to withdraw and they're going to backfill
55:25
Mayhem's already lost a bunch of people.
55:28
Two for sure.
55:29
Yeah.
55:29
You know,
55:30
Angony's area alone have already withdrawn
55:32
from Mayhem.
55:33
And that's the first one of the year.
55:39
It's, and that just got me, it just,
55:42
all of it just got,
55:43
it's such a slant in one direction without
55:47
any real evidence to back it up.
55:49
Yeah.
55:53
John Wood is a different cat.
55:56
That is one way to put it.
55:57
Even talking elite fitness,
55:59
which used to be their thing to play
56:01
advocate.
56:02
Yeah, even they've been critical.
56:08
Well, everybody wants to watch the top,
56:10
only the top athletes.
56:12
That's not true.
56:15
Semifinals are too expensive and they need
56:17
to make money cuts.
56:19
I don't even know what that means.
56:23
I don't really...
56:25
And then he says,
56:25
go rent a high school cafeteria.
56:30
How are you going to do a CrossFit
56:32
semifinal, regional, whatever,
56:34
in a cafeteria?
56:36
I was in a middle school cafeteria
56:38
yesterday,
56:39
and I can promise you it's not big
56:41
enough to hold a semifinal.
56:43
I've been in my son's former cafeteria a
56:47
bunch of times while he was in high
56:50
school for four years,
56:51
playing in the band,
56:52
because that's where they played.
56:53
I can promise you, that's a big school,
56:56
dude.
56:58
And it ain't big enough by far to
57:01
hold a semifinal.
57:03
Not happening.
57:04
And the only example he gives on this
57:06
is the one where they went back to
57:11
Carson.
57:12
Yeah.
57:17
Only five percent of the seats were
57:19
filled.
57:20
Okay.
57:21
You just named one example.
57:24
It was standing room only at Mayhem.
57:25
Bad area of California.
57:28
Hotels were crowded with homeless people.
57:34
and hyper expensive like it's super
57:36
expensive area that is run down and
57:38
basically on fire and covered in homeless
57:41
people you're talking about one example
57:44
one he's just bitter that he didn't make
57:47
the games that's what it sounds like i
57:49
don't know
57:54
Yeah, we'll finish on that.
57:55
Good big negative note.
57:56
There you go.
57:58
And now you guys enjoy your weekend.
58:01
Homeless on the streets of Albany were
58:03
more informed than this guy.
58:05
And we know that because Hitler talked to
58:06
him.
58:14
Mayhem's gym and where they hold the
58:16
Mayhem Classic is bigger than any
58:18
cafeteria I've ever been in.
58:22
By far.
58:23
And it was slapped full of people.
58:26
Like it sold out.
58:27
Right.
58:28
But you can't compare the mayhem can hold
58:30
an event and a cafeteria can also,
58:34
because I've never seen a cafeteria that
58:35
big.
58:36
Also mayhem is designed for barbells to be
58:38
dropped on the floor repeatedly.
58:41
Right.
58:41
and they have rigs,
58:43
and they have all this stuff.
58:44
All the stuff's already built in.
58:46
Cafeteria is not.
58:49
I'm going to tell you right now,
58:50
the second day I was at Fitness to
58:53
the Coast,
58:53
the warm-up area that they had us in
58:55
was like a ballroom type area because it's
58:57
in a hotel, not a hotel,
58:59
but the convention center thing.
59:02
In the middle of the floor,
59:04
they had a big old section roped off
59:06
just on the carpet area,
59:07
and we were like,
59:09
That's odd.
59:09
That wasn't like that yesterday.
59:11
And the concrete broke.
59:14
Like the floor underneath the broke from
59:17
us dropping barbells in there.
59:19
And it was dropping them on rubber mats.
59:21
Like everybody,
59:22
they brought a bunch of rubber mats for
59:23
us to warm up on and whatnot.
59:25
And it tore it up.
59:26
Now, can you imagine?
59:27
Let's go do that at a cafetorium.
59:30
High school?
59:32
No, bro.
59:32
So they have a competition here outside of
59:34
Columbus at a high school.
59:37
And I don't know if you've seen a
59:39
basketball court,
59:39
how they put that gloss finish on the
59:43
floor, right?
59:44
Andy Katzemoyer,
59:45
who played for the New England Patriots
59:47
and the Ohio State Buckeyes,
59:49
came to the competition, competed.
59:51
There was a max lift.
59:54
He ran out of weight,
59:55
and they went and got him more.
59:57
He dropped it from overhead,
59:59
and it cracked the floor.
1:00:00
Yeah.
1:00:01
Like six hundred thousand dollars in
1:00:03
damage.
1:00:08
Six hundred thousand.
1:00:14
That's an expensive semifinal.
1:00:16
Yeah,
1:00:17
I saw that you can do Caroline zigzags
1:00:19
in the cafeteria.
1:00:20
That's about it.
1:00:20
Yeah,
1:00:21
you can't even do the sprint on either
1:00:22
end.
1:00:25
You're really just doing like the what the
1:00:27
seven cone drill or five cone drill.
1:00:30
I've gone through five cone drew two,
1:00:32
three, four, five.
1:00:33
Yeah.
1:00:37
And still not considering the cost of
1:00:39
setup, breakdown, transport,
1:00:40
digging the equipment and the stream.
1:00:42
Right.
1:00:42
Yeah.
1:00:43
It ain't like you can just roll up
1:00:45
at it.
1:00:45
And on top of that,
1:00:46
roll up in a school district and just
1:00:48
be like, Hey,
1:00:49
I want to borrow your cafeteria.
1:00:51
And I only want to pay two hundred
1:00:52
dollars for it or something insane like
1:00:54
that.
1:00:54
And they're gonna be like,
1:00:56
I don't know who you are,
1:00:57
but get off this campus before we call
1:00:58
the police.
1:01:04
Yeah.
1:01:07
But we have talked about like running a
1:01:09
football field might make sense.
1:01:11
That would make way more sense.
1:01:14
Yeah,
1:01:14
you're on grass or you're on turf or
1:01:16
something like that where it's more
1:01:18
designed for sport.
1:01:22
Not so much inside a place that is
1:01:24
designed just to hold a bunch of people
1:01:26
while they eat or watch a show or
1:01:28
whatever else is going on.
1:01:30
At the twenty twenty four CrossFit games
1:01:32
where there was a drowning and a death.
1:01:37
They held this second day at a football
1:01:40
stadium that had fifteen thousand people
1:01:43
there for that event.
1:01:47
A high school football stadium could be
1:01:49
done.
1:01:50
Yeah.
1:01:50
Cafeteria.
1:01:51
No freaking way.
1:01:53
But he probably doesn't want to be outside
1:01:55
the elements.
1:01:56
So he went with the cafeteria.
1:02:00
doesn't want to be outside in elements i
1:02:01
highly recommend going to or doesn't think
1:02:04
he wants to be go to beach brawl
1:02:07
that just happened last weekend it's
1:02:09
outside the entire thing and it's
1:02:12
beautiful it's nice always the wind's
1:02:14
always blowing we didn't have rain must
1:02:16
ups last year i went that was kind
1:02:17
of a problem because it was blowing the
1:02:20
the first day especially like i looked up
1:02:23
And they were just doing like this.
1:02:24
She said, all right,
1:02:27
got to time that jump just to be
1:02:28
able to jump up and catch them.
1:02:29
But other than that, it's beautiful.
1:02:31
It wasn't too hot.
1:02:33
It never gets cold.
1:02:34
Like, that's a really nice event.
1:02:36
Is there a chance it might rain?
1:02:37
Sure.
1:02:37
You're outside.
1:02:38
It's in nature.
1:02:40
Waz is the same way, right?
1:02:42
Granite games.
1:02:43
Putting granite games all outside?
1:02:45
Yep.
1:02:47
That was another one.
1:02:49
All outside in a good part of the
1:02:51
year where the weather's not too bad,
1:02:53
dude.
1:02:53
Like, bring it outside.
1:02:57
Yeah.
1:02:58
Yeah.
1:02:59
I'm for it.
1:03:00
It's kind of where the roots of CrossFit
1:03:02
started anyway, right?
1:03:04
People love when we go to the ranch
1:03:07
because it's gritty.
1:03:08
It's old school.
1:03:09
It's what we do.
1:03:11
Like,
1:03:12
maybe embrace that more in upcoming
1:03:14
semifinals, regionals,
1:03:16
whatever we want to call them.
1:03:17
Whatever it ends up looking like.
1:03:25
He's competed at TFX a lot.
1:03:27
He's no stranger to the outside.
1:03:30
I think he competed at Granite Games too
1:03:32
one year.
1:03:35
I've interviewed him at least once.
1:03:37
I know I interviewed him more than once
1:03:39
after events.
1:03:41
But yeah.
1:03:48
There it is.
1:03:48
All right, guys,
1:03:51
two PM CrossFit channel is going alive
1:03:54
with some workouts.
1:03:56
Apparently Eastern time.
1:03:57
That is right.
1:03:58
I'm so curious at this point.
1:04:00
Like, I really want to see who,
1:04:01
what are they going to have on there?
1:04:04
I'm anxious to see who's willing to put
1:04:05
it out there.
1:04:07
I mean, Ariel, apparently.
1:04:10
Yeah.
1:04:12
And then who else?
1:04:13
I mean, I look at it like this,
1:04:14
like if you can beat me, beat me.
1:04:17
Cool.
1:04:18
Go crazy.
1:04:19
These are my times.
1:04:21
And at this stage,
1:04:21
you're not qualifying for the games.
1:04:24
Nope.
1:04:24
You're just trying to get to the next
1:04:25
phase, right?
1:04:26
That is it.
1:04:28
And I feel like the people who are
1:04:29
going live, like Colton did,
1:04:31
like Fi did this morning,
1:04:34
there's no question those guys are moving
1:04:36
on to semifinals.
1:04:38
the people who are actually worried about
1:04:39
being on that cusp of trying to get
1:04:41
to semifinals probably want to keep their
1:04:43
stuff close to the vest.
1:04:45
So chance of better not,
1:04:46
it's going to be a good show.
1:04:48
Whenever it does come on.
1:04:49
Yeah.
1:04:51
I'm excited for it.
1:04:52
Can't wait to check it out.
1:04:53
We'll talk about it Sunday night on Sunday
1:04:55
night, CrossFit talk.
1:04:56
We'll talk about it Monday.
1:04:58
When we get back into the swing of
1:05:01
things next week, it's going to be crazy.
1:05:03
I'll talk about that Monday or Tuesday.
1:05:06
Um,
1:05:06
but hope you guys have a great weekend.
1:05:09
Go check out the glintons.
1:05:10
They're going to do some stuff tomorrow
1:05:12
morning,
1:05:12
Sunday morning with Joseph for sure.
1:05:15
Uh,
1:05:15
check out CrossFit podcast today with
1:05:18
whatever happens, boys interrupted.
1:05:20
And I think girls unfiltered are going,
1:05:22
I think he's doing all of hers live.
1:05:25
I don't think Alexis committed to that,
1:05:27
but fee is doing all of hers live.
1:05:30
Well, if he wouldn't,
1:05:31
he thought she wasn't even better to
1:05:32
compete in the season at all.
1:05:33
So at this point,
1:05:35
she's got nothing to lose.
1:05:37
Yeah.
1:05:38
She said it actually helps her mentally in
1:05:41
the competition,
1:05:42
the competing piece to go live.
1:05:44
So, yeah.
1:05:46
All right.
1:05:47
With that, uh,
1:05:48
get your third Z code jazzy,
1:05:50
all of that stuff, like subscribe,
1:05:54
get us to three thousand.
1:05:55
That'd be awesome.
1:05:57
And other than that, guys,
1:05:58
have a great weekend.
1:05:59
Enjoy yourself and we'll see you soon.
1:06:04
Later.
