• 0:31
  Welcome to the spin. We are 10 days away, 9 days away
• 0:37
  from 4 in person qualifying events, one of which is
• 0:42
  Syndicate Crown. So good stuff there.
• 0:48
  Larry Young, looks like I overpaid for my tickets.
• 0:50
  I will tell you my opinion on that here shortly, but I'm not
• 0:54
  sure you did. But we'll, we'll find out
• 0:57
  Syndicate Crown right down there somewhere you can like.
• 1:02
  Am I pointing the right way? You are not pointing.
• 1:04
  You are not. You're the opposite.
• 1:05
  Way so my screen does this, yeah.
• 1:08
  Yeah, it's opposite. Syndicate Crown you can sign up
• 1:12
  for. I think they're still open for
• 1:14
  the community divisions. I think so.
• 1:18
  By the way, everybody, Congrats Tyler.
• 1:20
  Yes. Congrats Jeanette for getting
• 1:23
  the baby out. There you go, John.
• 1:27
  Yeah, Thank you. Tyler is a a proud daddy over
• 1:31
  there. So good stuff man.
• 1:34
  Yeah, it's, it's a spirit, dude. These are the first graduations
• 1:39
  on. Purpose.
• 1:42
  Yeah, it's it's it's a lot. Out in the first few days of
• 1:48
  fatherhood. It was good.
• 1:51
  Not a lot of sleep. You guys weren't kidding about
• 1:53
  that. I did.
• 1:53
  You do anything? Did I do anything?
• 1:56
  What do you mean? I'm saying did she, did she just
• 1:58
  do everything with the baby and then let you touch them?
• 2:01
  No, yeah, I've been, I've been trying to, I've been trying to
• 2:04
  put in work. I think I've changed like 10
• 2:06
  diapers before she changed one. Nice.
• 2:09
  Leslie was more like, I don't want you to do anything.
• 2:13
  I'm like, it was more I've taken care of her while she's taking
• 2:16
  care of the baby and then. I've been doing a lot of that,
• 2:20
  like just anything in the house, been doing that.
• 2:23
  But then like at night when he needs attention and she needs
• 2:27
  sleep, I'll take him. And like she, yesterday she was
• 2:30
  like, let me do it. And I was like, no, I need to be
• 2:33
  able to do this by myself. And like, I got a little
• 2:36
  frustrated. But I, I, I took him and I
• 2:39
  walked off and we handled it. It was a little frustrating, but
• 2:43
  we're handling it. I'm getting better at dealing
• 2:46
  with him now. Learning his faces and grunts
• 2:50
  has been a trip, so. But it's good, dude.
• 2:54
  I like, I like, I like the challenge of trying to figure
• 2:57
  him out. Yeah.
• 3:00
  I feel like feeder feed Jeanette.
• 3:02
  Dude, this is nuts. So I used to what like I used to
• 3:06
  look at her quantities of food in comparison to mine and like
• 3:09
  one time, like the whole mimic your your partner's eating.
• 3:12
  I like just mimicked her calories for like 1-1 meal or
• 3:16
  two meals. And I was like, I'm going to
• 3:18
  starve to fucking death. Like it's what's 4 ounces of
• 3:21
  chicken? This isn't even this is like a
• 3:23
  rumor of chicken. This is even real.
• 3:26
  And then so I've been giving her food like, you know, for dinner
• 3:29
  and stuff, and I've been putting like the six or seven oz I
• 3:33
  usually eat, and she's been freaking shoveling it down and
• 3:37
  not saying a thing. Crazy dude, Leslie's eating 3500
• 3:40
  calories and and losing weight and I'm like yeah, that's more
• 3:44
  than I'm eating and I'm still not losing weight so.
• 3:49
  You gotta be grid ready, man. You got a few days, Yeah.
• 3:51
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll. Get into that here in a bit.
• 3:55
  Yeah, we got the good show for you guys.
• 3:56
  We'll do some viewer comments. You guys left a zillion comments
• 4:00
  last week, so keep that up. We'll get to that here in a
• 4:02
  second. We'll talk about 40% off event
• 4:05
  one. There might be two stories in
• 4:07
  that Jy's Grid debut and possibly a special guest coming
• 4:12
  in some blind rankings and. Not Colton.
• 4:16
  It is not Colton I. Don't want, I don't want people
• 4:18
  to be let down. And some raffle.
• 4:25
  Anyway, we'll find about that in a bit.
• 4:27
  First off, we will start with viewer comments.
• 4:30
  I got a lot of them this week. Can't, can't let you guys down.
• 4:35
  First one, Dulcena, it's great to listen to Jr. because you
• 4:40
  really feel the love for programming that he has and how
• 4:43
  in depth he goes into each small thing.
• 4:46
  Also shout out to the only CrossFit gym in Slovenia.
• 4:53
  Slovenia. Slovenia.
• 4:54
  I don't know SLOVENIJA, maybe it's Slovenia.
• 4:58
  It's it's Slovenia and Slovenia spelled.
• 5:00
  CrossFit. Lajubjana.
• 5:05
  That's exactly how it. Goes because they just had a 24
• 5:11
  hour charity row marathon and raised over €13,000 for family.
• 5:18
  For family. And shout out CrossFit
• 5:20
  Louisiana. Tade Pagacha's from Slovenia.
• 5:24
  My Slovenians will know my dog's man named after that dude.
• 5:27
  He's awesome. He's my.
• 5:29
  Father Tade who? Tade Pagacha.
• 5:31
  But gotcha, gotcha. Oh, for John, Slovenia is the
• 5:34
  land of Primos Roglick and Todd Pogicar.
• 5:38
  No, no, I just said his name. Spin.
• 5:41
  I just said his name. You can't say his name, right?
• 5:44
  Oh, gotcha. It's.
• 5:45
  Spelled Pogicar. It's you know, it's hilarious
• 5:50
  his cycling debut. That's how the announcer said
• 5:54
  his name Poga car. However, he said it and and you
• 6:00
  know, obviously everybody knows him now.
• 6:01
  You guys, especially spin spin knows all about him.
• 6:04
  It's also primos rogue, which I like tade much better.
• 6:07
  But yes, shout out to this person.
• 6:09
  I love you. I know nobody understands it
• 6:12
  except us, and that's what makes it cool.
• 6:15
  See. The Holy Balls knows.
• 6:18
  I heard about this and I've not seen it yet.
• 6:22
  The this TFX happened mid labor. I so John, the year I competed
• 6:29
  at TFX on a team was when you and I were both there.
• 6:32
  I guess they had videos of that and Jeanette was in there too.
• 6:37
  And so Barclay text me and we're like in the middle of Labor.
• 6:40
  He's like, you're all over the commercials.
• 6:43
  I was like, be cool to know about it.
• 6:47
  That was what, like 2 years ago? Three years ago.
• 6:49
  Yeah, I mean, it was it. Was a ways back.
• 6:52
  I think that was my first one. Yeah, let's see, I did see this.
• 7:00
  I did not. Philby, did you hear that?
• 7:02
  Will Say said they had a 1A half million views on the WFP stream
• 7:07
  on Boys Interrupted. Well, they can say whatever they
• 7:09
  want because it's not on YouTube and nobody can.
• 7:11
  Fact. Check.
• 7:12
  I, I would say like, I don't know, 25,000 of those was me
• 7:16
  going back and forth to the website and then restarting it.
• 7:20
  So you're welcome. We have 800 billion on Rumble.
• 7:25
  Yeah, check it out. Go find.
• 7:28
  Big, big Rumble guys. Actually Speaking of going
• 7:32
  viral, pick my video of mirhom that I clipped 2.6 million
• 7:38
  views. The Cramp herd around the world,
• 7:42
  that's what they're that's what they're calling it, guys.
• 7:45
  Yeah, that was pretty. Hey, and and, and let shout out
• 7:49
  to Miriam. OK, you are going to the games.
• 7:53
  One of the fittest women in the world did it for I mean, I, I,
• 7:58
  you all remember when I said if you can't make the games online
• 8:01
  like this is how you do it. This is how you get there, girl,
• 8:04
  and you didn't do it, so you suck and then and then you know,
• 8:07
  Brooke doesn't know how to do a burpee and now we're all we're
• 8:09
  here and I and I'm yes, I'm really happy for her.
• 8:12
  I want nothing but success for mirror him, mirror him.
• 8:16
  I'm going to always say mirror him.
• 8:17
  I hope she could just I hope she can just like, you know, take it
• 8:21
  like, you know, a good thing, But I'm happy, I'm happy for
• 8:26
  her. I hope she gets some cross fiddy
• 8:29
  range of motion things that she can kill at the game.
• 8:30
  Probably won't happen. Probably not going to do too hot
• 8:33
  in this first one, but you know, I hope she's great.
• 8:37
  PC told DENSE 75,000 on site on Saturday.
• 8:43
  I was. Walking around the venue telling
• 8:45
  there's there's 300,000 people watching live so.
• 8:48
  Quite the vibe Chris Deeming, I bet the wait wait.
• 8:53
  Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I wanted to go back to the
• 8:55
  Miriam thing. The hate that you got for that
• 8:58
  was insanely. Oh your your video.
• 9:02
  The clip of it. Take that down.
• 9:04
  What? I, I almost thought we should
• 9:07
  get like a compilation of people passing out, like just in random
• 9:12
  sports, like 'cause there's a whole lot of it happens a lot.
• 9:14
  I mean, I got 2.6 billion on that one.
• 9:16
  Freaking strong man. And you know, we gotta be
• 9:19
  careful when we talk about strong man, but it happens all
• 9:21
  the time. It happens all the time with
• 9:22
  them. I mean girl gets to know when
• 9:24
  convulses every freaking advance so we should have made like a
• 9:29
  compilation. Just post it and be like it
• 9:31
  happens. This is professional sport.
• 9:34
  She's not mad about it. You shouldn't be either.
• 9:37
  Whoever commented that go to every single CrossFit fail video
• 9:41
  ever and be like you should take this down.
• 9:43
  These people are getting hurt. I feel like, I feel like
• 9:46
  whoever, like the people who comment on that, it'd be like
• 9:49
  them having like an elbow injury and then being like, I don't
• 9:52
  want you to post that elbow, no injury.
• 9:53
  I'm offended. Like that's that's the type of
• 9:56
  person who's saying take this video down.
• 9:59
  Stuff happens, man. She walked it off dude, she was
• 10:02
  good. She like, you know, stumbled it
• 10:05
  off, but you know, so very it's. All good, Chris Deeming.
• 10:10
  I bet WFP's big picture is to have the CrossFit Games as a
• 10:14
  tour stop as part of their season.
• 10:17
  I think if they were honest, that's their goal.
• 10:21
  Either on would the games not be their goal, their final?
• 10:26
  Not just a tour stop, but like the final.
• 10:31
  I don't think they want to have anything to do with the games.
• 10:34
  You but you said you want the game should be a tour stop.
• 10:37
  That's what that's what Mr. Chris deeming is saying, that
• 10:40
  that's what he thinks. The WFP ones.
• 10:43
  OK, OK. You're saying, I think that's
• 10:44
  their goal. The guy's saying that.
• 10:46
  You're not saying that. I'm not saying.
• 10:47
  Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Yeah, you're entitled to your
• 10:50
  opinion, but you're wrong. Yeah, they don't want nothing to
• 10:53
  do with your. Opinion, man.
• 10:55
  I I, I kind of wish, wish they would.
• 10:59
  I think the whole thing could grow together if people.
• 11:05
  Were good unify, yeah. I do, I do, I do and I just
• 11:12
  they, they don't, they don't want it.
• 11:16
  I'm just waiting for that Andrew Farmer.
• 11:19
  Can we get an episode where Tyler Z scores and P scores all
• 11:24
  of the semifinals? I think he means in person
• 11:27
  qualifying events. Probably would have to wait till
• 11:29
  after the last chance qualifiers to get the bang for its buck.
• 11:33
  No, no. It'll have as many.
• 11:36
  It'll have as many views as the WFE did.
• 11:40
  Half million adventures. If CrossFit dies, it's because
• 11:44
  they failed to adapt, adjust and overcome.
• 11:47
  Blockbuster and Kodak spring to mind when thinking about the
• 11:51
  situation. Also PS Can John have his own
• 11:54
  show? I.
• 11:56
  Couldn't operate my own show is that was that a joke?
• 12:01
  Mechanically, you mean there was There was no.
• 12:04
  He had a thinking emoji after the situation, but he did not
• 12:08
  have any laughing emojis after. Guys, I'm on, I'm on 8 different
• 12:12
  shows and none of them are mine. You don't think I would have
• 12:14
  done one already if I wanted one?
• 12:16
  I can't I, I can't do that. No, I just show up and talk.
• 12:20
  I that's how I want to keep it. That I can't handle.
• 12:22
  That I agree that's a good that's.
• 12:24
  A good John can't can't build his own mountain.
• 12:28
  That's sad. What's sad is I I made them out
• 12:31
  and I'm like, here you go. Spin like here's a here's a
• 12:34
  spreadsheet. Here's this repurposed
• 12:37
  spreadsheet. Notebook paper with names on
• 12:41
  lines and then tears and I might have like little wordings or
• 12:44
  phrases like this is the trash tier this.
• 12:48
  Is. The maybe capodium tier like and
• 12:50
  then I'm like make it and it's been does all the work.
• 12:55
  Here's here's a new graphic I want you to make.
• 12:57
  Here's a new section. I'm going to call it, you know,
• 13:00
  whatever the unsure about whatever that was last time and
• 13:04
  stay. Tuned because there might be an
• 13:05
  addition. I wanted to, I wanted to comment
• 13:10
  on this guy's, on this guy's comment like in the comments.
• 13:15
  First of all, CrossFit is not Kodak.
• 13:20
  I understand your, I understand your analogy there, but this is
• 13:23
  not a good one. And yes, you're right, like
• 13:27
  you're not wrong that it should be able to withstand, but we're
• 13:32
  dealing with a more complicated thing and that we're, I'm going
• 13:35
  to say this a million times, is that we're dealing with a
• 13:37
  religion. And yes, like the religion won't
• 13:40
  die. Seth called me out on that.
• 13:41
  The religion part of it won't die, but the community aspect is
• 13:44
  what we're after. And that's a very temperamental
• 13:46
  thing. So yes, while you're saying it
• 13:48
  should be able to stand on its own, I agree, but it can't.
• 13:51
  We all have to. We carry the boats.
• 13:57
  Sousa spin makes my graphics too.
• 13:59
  If you notice, I had to change it after Susan decided to copy
• 14:04
  mine. Let's see, Meredith Tyler,
• 14:10
  where'd you get your hat? This is a Nashville company and
• 14:16
  it's like a country music bar or something.
• 14:18
  I was just Googling and I found raccoon hat and it's called
• 14:21
  Raised Raised rowdy. It was the original trash band I
• 14:25
  had until I found out there was Trash Bandits in Huntsville, AL.
• 14:28
  So there you go, get your race rowdy hats.
• 14:31
  Ortega things I'm going to look Mexican soon if I keep if I keep
• 14:34
  going to soccer. Went to back-to-back kids soccer
• 14:38
  games and and the Nashville SC this Saturday and got quite tan.
• 14:43
  So it reminded me of what was it Watapalooza.
• 14:46
  Tierrawatapalooza 2 years ago, yes, when I first coming back
• 14:50
  and then you guys thought I was like gonna melt and like I was
• 14:53
  like bright red and I never never burned just happens.
• 14:57
  Let's see at Jeremy Purdy big show today, you admitted what we
• 15:04
  all figured. You have lost all credibility as
• 15:08
  a new source. Did we ever have any?
• 15:11
  No. You were asked who has the most
• 15:13
  credibility. Then I would like have your
• 15:15
  rankings of news sources. What's the most credible?
• 15:18
  The least credible to you? Jeremy, that is your that is.
• 15:21
  We will read it off next show. Tell us you are clearly not
• 15:25
  interested in what's best for the sport and that is through
• 15:29
  taking care of the athletes. Like it or not, competition from
• 15:35
  the WFP should not only help the sport.
• 15:38
  The ball is in Crossfit's court to up their game.
• 15:41
  More Jr. please. I would say we are definitely
• 15:48
  one of the more credible news sources amongst the CrossFit
• 15:51
  news sources. And yeah, the ball is in
• 15:54
  Crossfit's court. Like they should definitely be
• 15:56
  learning from what's going on and and pivoting. 100% and yeah
• 16:00
  JRJR to the moon. Yeah, but that was a.
• 16:04
  Big show, we had over 10,000 views last the show.
• 16:07
  Everybody sees Jr. and they have to click on it.
• 16:08
  And a Stu to answer Tyler, you hit all three points.
• 16:12
  That was that was impressive. That's good, CF Courtney 28.
• 16:17
  I don't get the hate for the WFP.
• 16:20
  At least they are trying something and not just running
• 16:23
  their mouths. You act like the CrossFit games
• 16:26
  have been perfect every single year since they started and they
• 16:30
  haven't had 20 years to establish themselves.
• 16:32
  Give them a chance. Good God you cry about the
• 16:35
  lighting at the at an event calling it safety.
• 16:37
  I did not call it safety. I could care less about that.
• 16:41
  It was the athletes who were saying it was sketchy doing the
• 16:44
  rope yet see nothing wrong with the safety at the games last
• 16:47
  year where someone literally died.
• 16:49
  Please show me your biased opinion more.
• 16:52
  No one can tell how you really feel.
• 16:55
  I roll. This comment's fucking
• 16:59
  beautiful. Yeah, I mean, I like it like
• 17:01
  that's, you know, you're good. You're entitled to your opinion.
• 17:04
  That's fine. Good for you.
• 17:07
  I I I really, really wish you wouldn't.
• 17:11
  It's not like we're comparing the WFP safety to the games of
• 17:15
  last year and you throwing the games of last year in a comment
• 17:19
  like that. I would I would implore you to
• 17:22
  go back and watch the spin cast from 2024.
• 17:27
  We were there. We lived it.
• 17:30
  We were on air when it happened. And you can see how we feel
• 17:34
  about that situation when it happened.
• 17:37
  Were you there? Can you say the same thing?
• 17:40
  And we didn't go off and change a song about West Virginia about
• 17:44
  it either. OK.
• 17:45
  Like like, like it's just, you don't even know what you're
• 17:52
  typing when you say like a comment like this, like you
• 17:55
  just, you just, you just have no idea.
• 17:57
  I understand the people that are like, why do you guys hate the
• 18:00
  WFP? Give them a chance.
• 18:03
  It's, it's, they don't want to work with CrossFit.
• 18:07
  They want the death of CrossFit. So why would we be friends with
• 18:11
  them? I, I, I'm in the camp of like,
• 18:13
  they do their thing. We'll do our thing.
• 18:15
  We, we don't have to have bad blood.
• 18:17
  I'm in that camp. Spin is in a little bit of a
• 18:22
  different camp. I think Tyler kind of just
• 18:25
  whoever he talks to is, you know, in his he just flirts from
• 18:29
  side to side, not WFP to CrossFit, but like the spectrum
• 18:32
  of CrossFit, like either like give him a chance or, you know,
• 18:35
  I hate them. Like he just kind of like goes
• 18:37
  back and forth with it. I'm a.
• 18:39
  Devil's advocate kind of man. For sure, for sure.
• 18:43
  They don't want to work with any bit of us.
• 18:46
  They don't want us. It's a beautiful song.
• 18:49
  It's actually about the Balk Balkans, so don't worry about it
• 18:53
  you. Should check out Brian's version
• 18:55
  Austin, see if you like it. This comment So number one, we
• 19:03
  don't hate the WFP. You must have not watched the
• 19:06
  last episode because we we addressed that.
• 19:08
  We squashed all the hate. And it's not like we haven't
• 19:12
  thrown our fair bit of punches at CrossFit for all, all the
• 19:17
  shit that they've done 100% like they need to step it up.
• 19:21
  That's a different damn issue than what we're dealing with
• 19:23
  with the WFB. Got it.
• 19:25
  Like CrossFit fix some stuff. But like WFE is totally
• 19:30
  separate. Why do you have to conflate
• 19:31
  issues? It's it's so.
• 19:33
  Different. They're different issues.
• 19:35
  Yes. And then number two, number
• 19:38
  three-part C is if you, I called into Savons, it was one of like,
• 19:45
  I haven't called in like on the phone in a while And Jenny
• 19:49
  clipped it on dense updates. I, I talked to Hicks, the safety
• 19:56
  advisor. He was for, he was at WFP, but
• 19:58
  he's been with, with CrossFit for a long time.
• 20:01
  And he wasn't at the Games, but he knew, he knew all the
• 20:06
  personnel at the Games. He knew how well they were
• 20:09
  trained. He knew that the training that
• 20:11
  they went through at the venue. And he said it was just a freak
• 20:18
  accident. Like I I can't get over this
• 20:23
  comment because it conflates so many issues, but I would check
• 20:26
  some of your facts first. Yeah, let's see.
• 20:31
  It's be true. I think that's brand.
• 20:33
  Is it Brandon true? I think it's.
• 20:34
  I think so, yeah. Brandon.
• 20:37
  Yeah, as someone who dropped the dumbbells on my final lunge over
• 20:40
  the finish line at Syndicate last year, I can confirm that is
• 20:43
  the worst feeling. See you next week, Brandon.
• 20:46
  Congratulations. Hey, don't drop the kettle
• 20:50
  bells, yeah? That'll be bad, everybody.
• 20:53
  Lingering with. Kettle bells at full full full
• 20:58
  chair. I don't know when will frog
• 21:01
  grips be available in the US again?
• 21:03
  I was asking about that. I've been told hopefully by the
• 21:06
  end of this week they will have that all figured out.
• 21:08
  So. They they've been talking to
• 21:10
  Trump. I think so.
• 21:12
  I think so in direct contact him and Elon have been talking with
• 21:15
  Mr. Frog Grips and I think they've got something worked
• 21:18
  out. So come in soon.
• 21:21
  Check, check here soon. We'll get those back going and
• 21:25
  then code spin once it is for all of your frog grips.
• 21:28
  And if you're outside the United States, 'cause I have so many, I
• 21:32
  think it's what is it, Norway. Norway loves us.
• 21:34
  Norway. We're big in Norway.
• 21:36
  Nice. Huge.
• 21:37
  Huge in Norway. Of all the continents, all the
• 21:41
  countries I would move to, Norway is one of them.
• 21:43
  Are you sure not South Africa? It's either Norway or South
• 21:47
  Africa, I can't remember. I would move to Rhodesia.
• 21:55
  I like it in America. I'm staying here man, it's cold
• 21:59
  in Norway. Very cold.
• 22:02
  Helsing Albernaz, when you guys were trying to say Syria's name,
• 22:07
  my Siri kept going off all the time.
• 22:10
  So do not say Syria. Hey, Syria, Sorry.
• 22:14
  Just we'll try not to next time. It's amazing.
• 22:18
  At Riley 5782. Hope you guys will do
• 22:20
  predictions for the next WFP. He was pretty disappointed on
• 22:23
  how you just ignored it. I wasn't there, so it's your
• 22:26
  Five Guys fault. Sorry.
• 22:29
  Did we ignore it last episode? Not the two weeks ago I wasn't
• 22:34
  here. Ignore what?
• 22:35
  Ignore the WFP, they wanted predictions at Jesse Goodrich.
• 22:40
  You guys are right about the season conflict.
• 22:42
  I like the WFP comp but the whole time you could tell that
• 22:45
  not every athlete was on board 100% and maybe some were tired
• 22:49
  from the online semis. It just makes you wonder about
• 22:52
  the leaderboard. Yep, luckily the leaderboard
• 22:56
  doesn't matter. Yeah.
• 22:59
  I mean, again, we talked about last week if WFP had put it in
• 23:03
  end of August, yes, I'll, yeah, I'll address that here in a
• 23:08
  second. If WFP had made their sixth
• 23:12
  season from end of August through January, like I don't
• 23:19
  think there'd be any complaints because it would not be.
• 23:21
  We would be over all for it. Yeah, and if you paid us, that
• 23:26
  would help you. Try to make a show, a weekly
• 23:28
  show in the offseason when there's like 3 comps that
• 23:31
  anybody else cares about. We have like 6 months of trying
• 23:34
  to come up with something to talk about.
• 23:38
  We would embrace it. And guys, they don't want to,
• 23:42
  they want to do it in the same time that Crossfit's doing their
• 23:46
  stuff. But people, you don't know what
• 23:50
  you're asking for. And it's, it's, it's sad.
• 23:55
  Where was that? Where was the?
• 23:58
  Where's that other? It is, yeah.
• 23:59
  Did Luz Rajun become the game sponsor because the show got too
• 24:02
  big? Yeah, too many, too many views.
• 24:05
  They're like we need to. Yeah, cheapen it up here.
• 24:09
  They they had a smell and see like how do we like the CrossFit
• 24:12
  space? Like, yeah, we like.
• 24:14
  Then they dip their toe in and they're like, yes, we're going
• 24:17
  to stop sponsoring these guys so we could sponsor the games
• 24:20
  because, you know, we're a small team.
• 24:21
  Get rid of this burden of payroll here.
• 24:24
  They did. They did follow me recently.
• 24:26
  Did they? Did they follow you guys?
• 24:29
  I don't know, no. I didn't mean that as a slight.
• 24:33
  I don't think so. It was right after I posted my
• 24:36
  my grid snap back. So maybe somebody, maybe they
• 24:39
  just. Saw her.
• 24:41
  They're great. They're great weightlifting
• 24:43
  shoes. They are the best weightlifting
• 24:45
  shoes out there. I think so too.
• 24:47
  I do not wear them, nor will I ever, but it's not their fault.
• 24:54
  You put them on. You wore them for a session.
• 24:56
  I tried to snatch once in them and I failed 245 and because I
• 25:01
  was 2 forward and I was like this hasn't happened since like
• 25:06
  8th grade so I will not be doing wearing these shoes but that's.
• 25:09
  You. That's you.
• 25:10
  You're saying as a shoe they're like they're.
• 25:13
  Yeah, yes, yes. It this is just because I don't
• 25:15
  wear weight, I don't wear lifter.
• 25:17
  It's not, it's not the the shoe looks amazing, feels fine.
• 25:21
  It just you know, it's such a folder.
• 25:23
  Are we talking about the space shoes?
• 25:24
  Yes, I have the all silver pair, so let's.
• 25:26
  Go ahead, you do. Moon Boots.
• 25:29
  I do get asked about them at the gym.
• 25:31
  All the time. They are the most solid
• 25:33
  weightlifting shoe out there like no other brands.
• 25:37
  I would wear them all the time. Those flops are freaking.
• 25:39
  Dude, they look, they look sick. They have those red dragon
• 25:44
  lifters too which just look fucking sick.
• 25:49
  Yeah, you brand it with CrossFit.
• 25:50
  All right, Next up, 40% off event one.
• 25:53
  We got all kinds of CrossFit Games news super early today.
• 25:58
  40% off CrossFit Games tickets flash sale for the next 48
• 26:03
  hours. Additional thoughts, Tyler on
• 26:10
  you hear? 40% off CrossFit Games tickets.
• 26:12
  We knew they were not selling that hot.
• 26:14
  What do you think? Yeah, it's like, I mean, maybe
• 26:20
  it is the right time to pull this if you if you need to pull
• 26:22
  that RIP cord, especially like with the event one announcement,
• 26:27
  which I think was a little premature, but yet it sucks.
• 26:34
  But like, there's going to be a bunch of people bitching, like.
• 26:38
  There are plenty. There are definitely plenty of
• 26:39
  people complaining. Well, they're just like throwing
• 26:42
  shots and it's like, I don't know, it comes off in bad taste
• 26:47
  to me because it's like we, we sort of need we need to support
• 26:52
  right now. And I'm not saying like you guys
• 26:53
  are bad people if you don't go to the games or don't support,
• 26:55
  but it was just like, I don't know, I the comments came off in
• 27:00
  bad taste, like the the laughing faces and all that shit.
• 27:04
  What's crazy and I, I talked with Jr. about this, a lot of
• 27:11
  cross people who do CrossFit a lot, like an overwhelming
• 27:14
  amount. It's a weird amount don't follow
• 27:17
  sports at all. Right, let's do CrossFit or
• 27:20
  follow CrossFit and they don't follow football, basketball,
• 27:24
  they don't follow other sports like the spin doesn't.
• 27:27
  Tyler doesn't really like like it's and this is if tickets
• 27:34
  don't sell, they give discounts to sell them.
• 27:37
  That's what they do. If tickets do sell, they end up
• 27:41
  more because then if it sells out like that, then you have
• 27:44
  people who sell their tickets, they buy their tickets ahead of
• 27:47
  time and then they sell them to make more money.
• 27:50
  This is it's, it's what happens when you're selling tickets to
• 27:54
  an event. If it's if the demand is low,
• 27:57
  they discount you to get people in the door.
• 28:01
  If the demand is high, the tickets end up being more.
• 28:04
  This is just what happens. It's not like a bad thing or a
• 28:08
  good thing. It just is what it is.
• 28:11
  This like it's everything. What do you what do you make of
• 28:15
  the the sale numbers being down like that Seems like a
• 28:18
  complicated. I don't have a.
• 28:22
  Lot to do with it, I really do. Do you think it's more Albany
• 28:25
  than it is Lazar? I, I don't think, I mean, I
• 28:28
  think it's multiple things, but I think Albany is, I think
• 28:33
  that's the, the major thing. You're pronouncing it wrong,
• 28:37
  Albany. We'll get past it.
• 28:38
  It is Albany. Albany, I think, I think that's
• 28:44
  the major, the major thing, I think.
• 28:48
  And then, you know, there's people who want to leave the
• 28:49
  sport. There's people who, you know,
• 28:51
  want CrossFit to die and aren't going to support it anymore.
• 28:54
  And that's fine. That's fine.
• 28:55
  But I think, I think Albany's the major thing.
• 28:59
  I don't think the people that feel that way are the ones that
• 29:04
  are buying the tickets. Like I I have a hard time
• 29:06
  believing that that many people who are at Fort Worth are now
• 29:10
  like, I will never go again. I don't support CrossFit.
• 29:14
  I'm sure there's some, but it's definitely not half of the
• 29:19
  arena. I think we have two problems.
• 29:22
  Albany is not the destination. It's just not right.
• 29:26
  Like people like the camping aspect of it like we had in
• 29:31
  Madison. Like I mean, I camped in Fort
• 29:33
  Worth. It was fine.
• 29:35
  It definitely was not like. Like Madison?
• 29:38
  Yeah. The all arena feel, I don't
• 29:44
  think. I don't think that's good.
• 29:46
  Like I you want it out, you want to do a stuff outside, it feels
• 29:50
  more like we're testing everything.
• 29:52
  It feels more like the fittest person in the world.
• 29:55
  The spectacle is bigger than if it everything's inside and
• 29:59
  number. Three, and I think somebody
• 30:02
  asked David his last this week's last week in review was do you
• 30:05
  ever see all of the different divisions coming back together
• 30:08
  again and. What'd he say?
• 30:15
  Basically no. Like maybe, but not anytime soon
• 30:19
  and I remember when. They I thought you were gonna
• 30:21
  say yes. No, but they went to Fort Worth
• 30:23
  and it was like we're trying out this new format.
• 30:25
  I think they're they want to be able to their idea is first of
• 30:28
  all, it's easier to find sights right like you can just find any
• 30:32
  arena. You can go to it.
• 30:33
  Well, they found any arena in Albany and it's not working.
• 30:39
  But I what was the CrossFit Games when it started?
• 30:46
  It was a celebration, a festival of fitness, right?
• 30:50
  You were going there to celebrate this thing that we
• 30:53
  have, and you've crowned the fittest on Earth, moving into an
• 30:58
  arena where you separate all of it.
• 31:01
  It's all. Sport.
• 31:02
  It's a sport. It's not the CrossFit Games
• 31:05
  fighting the fittest, it is a sport.
• 31:08
  And we're not. We're not big enough for that.
• 31:11
  Right. And so like, and if you have all
• 31:15
  of those divisions again together, you automatically sold
• 31:20
  more tickets because how many masters athletes, teen athletes,
• 31:24
  adaptive athletes had friends, family that wanted them to go
• 31:28
  because it may be their only chance to go.
• 31:31
  And I know nobody watches the master heats.
• 31:33
  I know it's a pain to like put together and and you know,
• 31:37
  figure out the schedules and stuff.
• 31:39
  I understand the logistics. Like you get the logistics are
• 31:42
  so much harder, but it's probably what a third more
• 31:49
  people at least that just come because of that, because of all
• 31:54
  the divisions. Yeah.
• 31:56
  I mean that that that's 100% right.
• 31:58
  LDY 274042 for me. I almost didn't and it was 100%
• 32:04
  the boring programming last year.
• 32:06
  Nothing else. Vendor village accessibility
• 32:08
  plays a role. I don't think the programming
• 32:11
  was boring at all last year. I think the boring was terrible,
• 32:16
  the programming was terrible last.
• 32:18
  Year terrible had nothing to do with boring Yeah I.
• 32:22
  Think there was plenty of good races in it.
• 32:24
  We had a blast on the show. Yeah, yeah.
• 32:28
  There was nothing we were like. Boring is a poor word, but it
• 32:31
  was. It was.
• 32:33
  I mean, just from a programming aspect, it was.
• 32:36
  It was, I mean, we, we got, we didn't have the sledgehammer.
• 32:39
  So I get it, John, like if we had the sledgehammer.
• 32:41
  You're. I know, I know, you do not
• 32:44
  disagree with. Him whatever jokes you were made
• 32:47
  fully well-rounded test If we had had the sledgehammer, I get
• 32:50
  it. We just did not, so I'm sorry.
• 32:52
  I I think you're on to something though, like leaning into the
• 32:56
  sports side was, was a big mistake, kind of a rebranding
• 33:02
  mistake. You shouldn't, you shouldn't
• 33:03
  have done that. When I, when I try to fortify
• 33:08
  their position of like, hey, we're going to choose Albany.
• 33:12
  They're thinking, OK, we sold tickets back in the regional
• 33:15
  days. We're hoping we get most of the
• 33:17
  people who are in the Northeast area to come out like that's our
• 33:21
  main hub of people. Seems like that's not paying off
• 33:27
  too much and I I guess the explanation is is that the
• 33:31
  community was involved in regionals, that's why you're
• 33:33
  selling tickets and now you're just going to watch elite
• 33:36
  athletes and once again, let take notes.
• 33:40
  WFP nobody cares. It's sitting in a in an arena
• 33:44
  for three straight days all day, right?
• 33:50
  Like if they are going to have no cuts this year, and I get
• 33:55
  that there's less seats, but no cuts basically means that
• 33:58
  they're going to basically run all throughout, probably from
• 34:01
  9:00 AM till 456. That's a long day to be sitting
• 34:08
  in your arena seat, not outside, not walking around.
• 34:12
  How many times can you go walk to the vendor village, right?
• 34:17
  Like, oh man, you know, like it was one thing when you walked
• 34:21
  back and forth from, you know, the Colosseum to North Park and
• 34:26
  vendor village is right there. So you just kind of pop through,
• 34:28
  go through one of the, you know, roads and go to the other side.
• 34:34
  I just a fitness like a festival feel is going to be I think a
• 34:40
  better solution probably cost more right to build something
• 34:42
  like North Park or to you have fewer options.
• 34:45
  You got to deal with weather, but I really think it's long run
• 34:51
  better to have everything in there and celebrate it.
• 34:54
  Well, when you, I'd love like we've said that a bunch of
• 34:57
  different ways, but I think like this is the first time that
• 34:59
  we've seen it flesh itself out and it's like it should be a
• 35:04
  celebration of fitness. It's our community coming
• 35:07
  together. You have to sell it like that.
• 35:08
  So whoever's buying CrossFit, take notes on that part.
• 35:13
  That's what you're selling. You're not selling the sport
• 35:16
  because ultimately it's like we, we love this.
• 35:19
  We're also dorks. And like people, people go and
• 35:22
  like people learn who James Sprague is and want to go watch,
• 35:25
  you know, but they're not going to stay for every single heat.
• 35:28
  And then that transforms itself into ticket sales because
• 35:31
  they're not totally interested. They'll watch him if they're
• 35:33
  also watching their cousin who's in the masters division.
• 35:38
  So anyway. I I do.
• 35:40
  I also think though if it was still in Fort Worth it would
• 35:44
  have sold better. Yeah.
• 35:47
  I think that. No, 100% I think Albanese.
• 35:51
  Would rather go to Texas and be Texan for a weekend.
• 35:54
  And I know it's stupid, but there's a thing about it.
• 35:58
  You know what? I'd be Albanian.
• 36:00
  I think it, I think, I think if we I think it was in Carson, it
• 36:05
  would have sold out. I really really like.
• 36:09
  I'm not sure, Carson. Anymore.
• 36:11
  Oh dude, I think it would have Carson Small you.
• 36:15
  Didn't go to West Coast with this, didn't you?
• 36:17
  No, I didn't, but they, they, they went to Madison because
• 36:22
  Carson was too small. And you know what I'm saying?
• 36:27
  Maybe we're back at Carson, like to the Carson level.
• 36:31
  I. I don't love the Carson menu.
• 36:33
  I I have to admit, it was. It was fine, but it was I'm not.
• 36:39
  Participating Carson people, people shouting down Carson.
• 36:42
  I'm not. I'm saying it would.
• 36:44
  John's going for Carson. Hart and then Alf.
• 36:48
  Well, I'm just saying, like you put it in Nashville, people go
• 36:51
  because he'd go to Nashville. Dude, Nashville would be sick.
• 36:55
  And it's not just Spin once because he lives there, but
• 36:58
  Nashville. Nashville would be.
• 37:00
  Sick. But people love going to
• 37:02
  Nashville. Like it's a fun town if you like
• 37:04
  all that stuff. So like.
• 37:06
  Let's just bring it to Houston, man.
• 37:08
  Houston's great. Spins does not like all that.
• 37:11
  Stuff I do not like all that stuff, I do not think it and all
• 37:13
  that stuff, but. They're all, they're all stuff
• 37:15
  we're talking about. Nashville stuff.
• 37:18
  Broadway honky tonks. That's not that's not that's.
• 37:22
  Not your scene. The debauchery.
• 37:24
  All of the It's not my scene either.
• 37:26
  The ridiculous You wanna you wanna go back to the trailer and
• 37:29
  play? I don't I'm all I'm.
• 37:30
  All, I don't need a four story bar.
• 37:34
  Those bars are something else. Hey.
• 37:39
  Damn. No, just straight up.
• 37:43
  Hey, you don't say that. Yeah, I mean, I think cross
• 37:47
  path, Nashville, Raleigh, I mean, maybe on that.
• 37:51
  I think people would still get that a chance.
• 37:53
  Indianapolis, we tried that last weekend.
• 37:56
  Denver. Denver's cool couch, dude.
• 38:01
  Can you imagine if it was like in Salt Lake and then they ended
• 38:04
  up having to run up one of them rock mountains?
• 38:07
  That would be sick, yeah. That'd be.
• 38:11
  Cool. And about Salt Lake.
• 38:13
  OK, well, it's pretty. I love.
• 38:15
  That. Josh has got a good one,
• 38:17
  Branson. Missouri.
• 38:19
  Hey, hey, they got a great amusement park.
• 38:21
  OK? Silver Dollar City, OK.
• 38:25
  Great malls in Branson, Yeah. And then going back to Larry's
• 38:29
  comment at the very, very beginning, like I feel like I, I
• 38:32
  overpaid for my tickets and my dog is going crazy.
• 38:38
  The I don't think that's the case.
• 38:41
  Like you again, like the John's point, you got first dibs at
• 38:44
  your seats. I'm I'm pretty sure I saw Larry
• 38:47
  post that he got like front row seats in the near the finish
• 38:50
  line. Like great location, right?
• 38:54
  He got that. Anyway, he he goes all out on
• 38:57
  these things. 40% off, it's not on the finish line, it's the
• 39:03
  start like the sides and the behind the starting line, right?
• 39:07
  So they're not like the premier premium seats.
• 39:12
  So like, yeah, you if you spent more, you got to pick where you
• 39:19
  went right Now to some degree, I feel a little bad for people
• 39:24
  that picked like the top section 'cause they didn't they didn't
• 39:26
  want to pay the power Mitch per seat and now they could have
• 39:29
  afforded that. I get that side a little bit.
• 39:35
  But yeah, like this is a one time deal, 48 hours.
• 39:39
  Hopefully they sell a lot of tickets.
• 39:44
  You know, you just gotta I just hope that they whatever they do
• 39:46
  next year, it like is not the same situation.
• 39:51
  And I've already said what you can do and let's bring everybody
• 39:54
  back together. I don't know if she's talking
• 39:58
  about me, but. Oh.
• 40:00
  Oh. She said imagine if it was
• 40:03
  Canada. Listen Hattie, I appreciate you
• 40:05
  commenting on the show. You need to pipe down.
• 40:10
  That's the response. Patty, I think Canada would be
• 40:12
  great, but you know, Canadians have been haven't been super,
• 40:17
  super pro CrossFit lately, so her.
• 40:19
  Part of Canada would actually be pretty sweet.
• 40:21
  She's in West Canada. Yeah.
• 40:23
  Yeah, there's a mall. Is it Edmonton Mall guys?
• 40:31
  Here we are, here we are. Is it the mall in Edmonton like
• 40:35
  the second biggest in the world? Like it's bigger than the Mall
• 40:38
  of America I. Don't think so.
• 40:40
  If it was an Edmonton dude and. John would be there all week.
• 40:44
  Oh my gosh, we could blog about the mall dude.
• 40:48
  It'd be. That would be insane.
• 40:50
  I would love it. Yeah.
• 40:51
  All right. You could write that article.
• 40:53
  Hattie Hattie is that, is it the Edmonton Mall, you know, I know,
• 40:56
  you know, everybody knows about this mall in Canada.
• 40:59
  Nobody knows about this mall in Edmonton.
• 41:05
  And then event one run row run John.
• 41:10
  Big fan. I I really wish it's it's it's
• 41:15
  two mile run, 3K row and four mile run correct.
• 41:19
  That is correct. The people care, OK?
• 41:31
  Run, swim or run, Run or row. Run Rd. to. 3K3K row, 3K row,
• 41:36
  four mile run. Right?
• 41:38
  Well, 234 right, that's how it works. 43243 Sorry 432 I really
• 41:43
  wish it was the other flipped with the row in the run.
• 41:46
  If it was a 4K row, three mile run, 2K row it might not be as
• 41:52
  viewer friendly, but how viewer friendly can just running and
• 41:55
  rowing be anyway? I think the races would be
• 41:58
  better. I think it would throw a mix in
• 42:00
  who finishes where. This.
• 42:03
  It's 6 miles of running in a 3K row.
• 42:07
  This means you have 40 minutes of running and 11 minutes of
• 42:12
  rowing. It's literally just who's the
• 42:14
  best runner, right? You can put a 3K row in there
• 42:17
  and then the difference between, let's say James is the best, is
• 42:21
  the best rower, right? His 3K row is probably around
• 42:27
  949-3940. Jeff is 20 seconds behind that,
• 42:36
  but. He'll run really faster.
• 42:38
  In six miles, you're telling me Jeff's not gonna run 20 seconds
• 42:41
  faster in six miles? Like it's just, it's literally
• 42:45
  just who's the best runner? I think the row is pretty
• 42:48
  irrelevant. Maybe it makes a difference
• 42:50
  with, you know, the people who are in the same tier.
• 42:53
  Like, like you put Austin in the same tier as Hopper, it's gonna
• 42:57
  make a difference there 'cause like, they're the same running
• 42:59
  and then Hopper gets 20 seconds on him.
• 43:01
  Yeah, that made a difference, right?
• 43:03
  But it's it's still who's the best runner.
• 43:07
  It's still just running in tiers where you're at in your running
• 43:10
  tier and then in the tiers the rowing would separate you.
• 43:15
  But I just think the row is pretty irrelevant.
• 43:18
  I wish it was the other way around because then it would
• 43:21
  give the IT would be more balanced.
• 43:25
  I would say it's still more running. 3 miles of running
• 43:27
  would still take be longer. Yeah, still be 20 minutes or so.
• 43:32
  But it would it would balance it out, I think.
• 43:34
  So you can see here real quick, MVP Arena, it's a short walk
• 43:39
  over here with this is Jennings Landing.
• 43:42
  This is where they say it's going to be.
• 43:45
  This trail goes all the way up along the Hudson River, all the
• 43:52
  way up. And I think if you mark like 3
• 43:57
  miles or two, or was it 2 miles, you'd be like right around here.
• 44:03
  I think it is, yeah, in this area.
• 44:06
  So they might put some Rovers there.
• 44:07
  They made go down and back a couple times.
• 44:11
  But it looks like they'll be running along the Hudson River
• 44:13
  is what my guess is. So I think it's now time to move
• 44:19
  to Jy's grid debut. Oh, snap.
• 44:24
  And I figured. Not ready for this?
• 44:26
  Because JY is just an athlete, we wanted to find out a little
• 44:30
  bit more from somebody that actually knows something about
• 44:33
  grid, and that is Miss Sophia Davenport, which is Jy's coach.
• 44:40
  Hi, Sophia. Oh.
• 44:42
  Oh, you're on mute, girl. Oh my.
• 44:46
  God. You may know more about grid,
• 44:49
  but she doesn't know more about puppies.
• 44:51
  There you go. I think we got you now.
• 44:54
  I think the headphones just don't connect with that so.
• 44:58
  I want to can we address this comment really quick before we
• 45:00
  get into that? No.
• 45:01
  More malls. I it's not about a mall.
• 45:04
  Could it, could it be a row? I couldn't.
• 45:07
  We're off the mall, but we'll get we'll get back on that.
• 45:12
  If I've heard this quite a few times, could the road, could the
• 45:14
  road be on water? I'm actually all for that.
• 45:17
  I think that would be awesome. That would be cool.
• 45:19
  I think they want to stay away from water as much as possible
• 45:22
  for the next couple of years. That would be the.
• 45:25
  Spin would find out before anybody.
• 45:26
  Else there the only thing I would say to that which kind of
• 45:29
  makes sense is 3000 meters is close to 2 miles.
• 45:34
  So if you go 4 miles out road, 2 miles back and you can run 2
• 45:38
  miles. Back to the start.
• 45:40
  Line yeah that would be the only way that I see it could working
• 45:43
  out I just don't the John's point I'm not sure they want to
• 45:46
  be on the water that. Would be cool.
• 45:49
  That could be a possibility. But anyway, all right, girl, go.
• 45:52
  Ahead, tell us about the Edmonton Mall.
• 45:54
  Yeah, I got a spin. I got a spin on.
• 45:59
  That you got it. It's.
• 46:00
  Just like God. Let's see, Edmonton Mall is
• 46:04
  slightly smaller than Mall of America.
• 46:07
  Smaller John. It's not like.
• 46:10
  Suck it, Canada. I think they're expanding.
• 46:15
  I think they're expanding. All right.
• 46:17
  Tell us about the Houston. The Houston.
• 46:20
  Yeah, first of all, what your role is with?
• 46:23
  The grid on all the roles. Coach, athlete, cheerleader.
• 46:28
  Big Mama when I have to be. Watch out.
• 46:30
  Careful, careful, careful. What, what, What possess you to
• 46:38
  want to open up a grid team? Funny story, I was going to
• 46:43
  retire. I broke my left wrist on the
• 46:46
  grid in 23 during a match. Broke my right wrist right
• 46:50
  before I was going to go try out for the Aces last year.
• 46:54
  Ended up trying out for the Breakers and the Aces in a cast
• 46:57
  so that was fun. Ended up on the Breakers with a
• 47:01
  friend who convinced me to go help him coach and like head up
• 47:05
  a whole bunch of new rookies on their team.
• 47:08
  Was not feeling like myself at all till probably the end of the
• 47:11
  season in Vegas. And right before Vegas, I had a
• 47:14
  phone call and a team kind of fell on my lap.
• 47:18
  They're like, hey, we'd really like a Texas team.
• 47:20
  I like that would be cool. I've heard the rumors.
• 47:22
  I have been snooping and looking and trying to figure out who's
• 47:26
  running this team. And it's nobody that I know.
• 47:28
  And I know a lot of people down here and are like, well, we were
• 47:30
  kind of thinking you oh, well, that's why I couldn't figure out
• 47:34
  who it was. Cool.
• 47:35
  Yeah, let's do it. Within two weeks.
• 47:38
  It was like just coming together.
• 47:40
  They made the announcement and people start sliding in the DMS.
• 47:43
  Hey, I'm really fast at this. Hey, I'm really good at this.
• 47:45
  Hey, do you know me? My name is John Young.
• 47:48
  I think I can. Do this.
• 47:49
  I did not. I did not.
• 47:50
  I did not say, hey, do you know me?
• 47:54
  That sounds very much like you, Joe.
• 47:56
  I have never said that. Stop it, right?
• 47:59
  Stop it. I, I, if I, if anything, I say,
• 48:01
  hey, you probably, you probably don't know me, but I'm pretty
• 48:04
  good at this. He, he was humbled.
• 48:08
  He wasn't, he wasn't anything. What people say is honestly, but
• 48:16
  some people were very good at what they do as they said they
• 48:20
  weren't. And some people need a little
• 48:22
  work. Yeah.
• 48:24
  So when you start a new team, I mean it's up to you then to go
• 48:28
  recruit a whole new team, I guess, right?
• 48:31
  Like. Yeah, I've done that role quite
• 48:34
  a bit though, for the Brigade and for the Breakers as well.
• 48:37
  So I kind of was already used to the recruiting process.
• 48:39
  It's a very hard process. This was the easiest recruiting
• 48:45
  ever. John had a lot to do with that.
• 48:48
  People who knew people had Aaliyah came on and she was
• 48:50
  like, no, I know this person, she'd be great.
• 48:52
  So we got Lauren. The guys side was easier to feel
• 48:56
  than the girls side for sure. I went to go interview Ben
• 49:01
  Collins. I went out to his gym and his
• 49:03
  now fiance was squatting. I was like, who's that though?
• 49:06
  Like, yes, I still want to see you do stuff, but who's that
• 49:09
  over there? Because she looks like she
• 49:10
  tumbles and he's like, well, yeah, it's my girlfriend.
• 49:13
  And she's like, yeah, you know, Flip.
• 49:15
  And she was like an all American gymnast.
• 49:19
  Like, yeah, you always try it out.
• 49:21
  You see what happens. You don't have to touch a
• 49:24
  barbell, I promise. Promise no barbell, maybe some
• 49:28
  burpees if you really want to. But she was doing Elsa legless
• 49:32
  rope climbs, like easy. And I was just looking at her.
• 49:35
  I was like, can you do aerials though?
• 49:37
  She's like, Oh yeah, how many do you want?
• 49:38
  I was like, oh, I want you to be on the team.
• 49:41
  It took me 4 months because she's never done anything
• 49:44
  outside the gymnastics. Four months to convince her.
• 49:47
  And Ben had a lot to do with that.
• 49:48
  He finally texted me. He's like, I think she's on
• 49:50
  board. I was.
• 49:50
  Like, really? How do we do it without scaring
• 49:53
  her? We gotta keep on board.
• 49:55
  But she's she's gonna be phenomenal.
• 49:58
  Some other people came on. Aaron was one of my first like,
• 50:02
  hey dude, I'm running a team next year and you're on.
• 50:04
  He's like, let's go. I was like, cool, you don't have
• 50:06
  a choice, so let's do this. So you're, you're Houston
• 50:12
  bandits, but like not everybody is in Houston.
• 50:16
  So how do you practice get ready like?
• 50:21
  Spent a lot of time on the phone there.
• 50:24
  There's a lot of videos back and forth.
• 50:26
  There's the, I mean, God, John, was it December when we first
• 50:29
  started getting together having like little Google meets and
• 50:32
  whatnot. So we've been at this for a
• 50:34
  while because the first, I don't know how many practices was just
• 50:37
  me explaining races and race rules and transitions and OK,
• 50:42
  let's run this scenario. Well, this is what you can do in
• 50:44
  grid and you can't do that in CrossFit, but you can do it in
• 50:46
  grid. And these are the rules here.
• 50:47
  And Nope, you can't do that, but you can do this.
• 50:49
  And it was a lot of like I own a karate school.
• 50:52
  I teach 3 year olds and up. That's like my actual job.
• 50:55
  And I've been doing that for over 20 years at this point.
• 50:57
  So lecturing isn't difficult for me, but it's interesting when
• 51:02
  you're with adults and they're all adults and everybody's
• 51:05
  coaches in some form or fashion and they have all their opinions
• 51:09
  and it's it's helpful because you have all these views, but
• 51:12
  sometimes it sidetracks a little bit from what you're trying to
• 51:16
  get done. Then when we first did our first
• 51:19
  run through of everything and I tried to tell y'all, don't Max
• 51:24
  out on the back squat before practice.
• 51:26
  Come in fresh because we're going to hit everything heavy.
• 51:29
  Nobody listened and they were dying.
• 51:34
  What do you mean? John did Isabel 6 times before
• 51:36
  he came to practice. Weird.
• 51:37
  Yeah. Yeah, the very first practice
• 51:42
  was bad. Everybody, everybody, everybody
• 51:44
  trained on Friday and then we came on Saturday and it's just
• 51:49
  it's it hits you. It just hits you really weird.
• 51:52
  It hits your CNS so hard. It's not like volume or anything
• 51:58
  in particular, but everything is a 100% Sprint and then you rest
• 52:01
  3 minutes, 100% Sprint and then you rest 3 minutes and you're
• 52:05
  doing different things every time.
• 52:07
  And it just, it's so CNS training and I don't think there
• 52:12
  are many, very many people were ready for it.
• 52:16
  I was. I was fine.
• 52:18
  I just didn't want to do it. I was like, all right, let me,
• 52:23
  let me do waddle on over here. A lot of John.
• 52:27
  Sitting I got, I got everything done.
• 52:29
  It was just when I wasn't doing something, I was sitting down
• 52:32
  is. There a chair so so you guys
• 52:35
  your first match is on Saturday. Is will there be chairs for John
• 52:39
  to sit in while he waits? There's some boxes I've already
• 52:44
  scouted the bound. Hey, look, coffee.
• 52:50
  So you got that and some mobile team on the sidelines.
• 52:52
  I think you'll make it, but. So yeah, your first match is
• 52:56
  this Saturday. Yep, all all.
• 52:58
  Was there eight teams in the league?
• 53:00
  Is that right? This season there's 8.
• 53:02
  Yep. Yeah.
• 53:03
  So they'll all be in somewhere in Florida, right?
• 53:06
  Miami, Miami. And So what does that first
• 53:10
  match look like? We're actually we're against the
• 53:13
  second best team in the league, Prop prop most likely this these
• 53:18
  two teams you. You being the first best team in
• 53:21
  the league. No, right.
• 53:22
  No, no, I I'm just, I'm taking us.
• 53:24
  I'm taking us out of it. I don't even I because I don't
• 53:26
  know if we'll be good. I don't think Sylvia knows if
• 53:29
  we'll be good on. Paper, The team that we go
• 53:31
  against, in my opinion, is a championship team.
• 53:35
  On paper doesn't mean something else can't change.
• 53:38
  But on paper the people that they have all bets minus what
• 53:42
  one or two veteran LED, They've all been with the league.
• 53:46
  They've won championships already.
• 53:48
  They are. They're well seasoned.
• 53:50
  Well, what, what what happened was like we came on and now
• 53:53
  there's an odd number of teams and then two teams took their
• 53:56
  best players and combined it to make like a, a, a really good, a
• 54:01
  really good team. And that's the team that's our
• 54:04
  that we go against first. You think they did it on purpose
• 54:07
  against you, John? I, you know, I don't know, but
• 54:10
  like, it is going to be really, really fun to try to make a
• 54:14
  statement because if we win, I'm going to be insufferable.
• 54:18
  Like it's listen, listen, like, like because we, we shouldn't.
• 54:26
  But like, again, if we're but if we do, you know, I'm going to be
• 54:31
  King Dingling for a day and everybody's going to know about
• 54:34
  it. Sophia, I don't know if you know
• 54:35
  this. John's actually he, he's
• 54:37
  inverted for most people. He's actually a very great
• 54:40
  loser. Like when he when he's wrong,
• 54:42
  he'll tell you like, dude, I was wrong or I didn't do that the
• 54:45
  way I thought I was going to. When he wins, he's a terrible
• 54:49
  winner, insufferable winner. So So what?
• 54:58
  What? What is John going to be doing?
• 55:00
  Is he? I don't.
• 55:01
  I don't. At least I have not seen.
• 55:02
  Do do we know? Like I can't find.
• 55:05
  Anywhere like. When we watched it, we watched
• 55:08
  the championship match last year almost got cancelled.
• 55:12
  So the very our first match is that exact same format.
• 55:16
  The exact same format. Yeah, it's the one that we did
• 55:20
  and it's still on United Grid League YouTube channel.
• 55:24
  Not not our commentary, but the the match.
• 55:26
  It would have been sweet if our commentary was there, but you
• 55:30
  know, whatever whose fault it's, it's the exact same format.
• 55:34
  So everything you should like, everything that happened in that
• 55:37
  one, that's what we're doing. There's a couple changes.
• 55:40
  But like 90% of it's the exact same.
• 55:43
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, a couple movements are
• 55:46
  different. OK, So what is?
• 55:47
  What is John going to be doing? What?
• 55:49
  What is what? Can you share what?
• 55:51
  What all of them are their utility, strength bias.
• 55:55
  So they're all strong, but they can all do the dumb stuff.
• 56:00
  OK. They get mad at me because I'm
• 56:01
  like, I'm asking them all the time.
• 56:03
  Like, hey, can you go do this real quick?
• 56:04
  Yes, Sophia, I can do that. Well, I need to see it.
• 56:07
  Can you lift this weight? Are you insulting me?
• 56:10
  Asking me to do that is like ask me if John drinks Ovaltine.
• 56:13
  I'm like, I'm sorry. I just need to see you do it
• 56:15
  real quick. The men are all, they're all on
• 56:19
  the same playing field. Our guys, they all the same.
• 56:22
  Thoughts. That's good.
• 56:24
  Yeah, they'll go out there and die for.
• 56:26
  I'm going to I'm going to be I'm I'm in for a lot in the
• 56:29
  beginning and then I have like a 10 minute break in the middle.
• 56:33
  Good. And then he's.
• 56:35
  Not doing the gymnastics. I know there's a lot of people
• 56:37
  that want to see him on those rings.
• 56:39
  It's not happening. That's a big man on the rings,
• 56:42
  it is. A big guy.
• 56:46
  On the rings, Susan wants to ask a question.
• 56:47
  Has anyone ever been ejected out of a match?
• 56:51
  Yes. Oh, you have?
• 56:54
  No. Oh.
• 56:55
  Damn. I was blocked on commenting my
• 56:58
  rookie season because I had it out with a guy.
• 57:02
  He was one of my my one of my teammates and I wasn't going to
• 57:05
  stand for it. So I let him know how I felt and
• 57:08
  then they deleted the comments and I was blocked from
• 57:11
  commenting for a while and that guy got ejected later in the
• 57:15
  season because they head butted somebody else on another team
• 57:17
  got. A hell yeah good headbutt the
• 57:19
  match. See This is why grids cool is
• 57:22
  because they'll get a little sideways like that.
• 57:24
  I like that you need you need just one good headbutt a year.
• 57:30
  So what time do you guys play on Saturday?
• 57:34
  Noon and it's a How long is it? 2 hours?
• 57:37
  Hour 15, it's really my rookie year was 3/3 hour long matches
• 57:42
  and then COVID came along and they condensed everything and it
• 57:45
  was so when I first started there was a lot of male version,
• 57:48
  female version of every race. So there was male echoes, female
• 57:52
  echoes, etcetera. There was only a few things that
• 57:54
  was guide girl combined. Now everything's guide.
• 57:57
  Combined. So it's an hour 15.
• 58:01
  OK. It's very condensed.
• 58:03
  Yeah. Sweet, very cool.
• 58:05
  Makes it easy for us. One of the things I, I didn't
• 58:09
  know if you had any other questions, Ben, but one of the
• 58:11
  things I wanted to talk about was can we talk about the
• 58:15
  process of John Young joining the team and, and what all that
• 58:19
  entailed? That was the fun.
• 58:21
  Oh, wait. Her I thought you were telling
• 58:23
  me to spin I was like, did we do something?
• 58:27
  I don't I. Don't.
• 58:27
  I did something? No, we didn't do anything.
• 58:32
  I drove back to the gym, had my son with me.
• 58:34
  He was wine and the whole time, teenagers.
• 58:38
  And I mean, we did some, I don't think we did a whole lot of
• 58:40
  barbell stuff. We did some pistol thrusters.
• 58:42
  He landed on his butt once and then he got it jumped up on the
• 58:47
  ring. He said Med ball, Med ball,
• 58:49
  muscle ups and pullovers and 10 inch deficit handstand push ups.
• 58:54
  And I don't remember what else, but we, I mean, I was there for
• 58:57
  a couple hours, but he wanted to go like back-to-back and I'm
• 58:59
  like, no, I just need you to do one thing and rest a little bit
• 59:03
  and then you get to do it again because that's I mean, that's
• 59:05
  how great it is. So you don't do things really
• 59:08
  usually you don't do things super tired, right?
• 59:10
  You're kind of fresh. Kind of.
• 59:12
  So funny. She came to my gym and I did all
• 59:16
  the gymnastics and then she goes and then she goes.
• 59:19
  Then she goes, all right, you're on the team and I'm like, cool,
• 59:21
  yeah, right, right. That was that was it.
• 59:23
  That was literally was it. That was.
• 59:24
  You never did any of the weight, no.
• 59:26
  Nothing. And then then we, we like I got,
• 59:30
  I got on the team for impressed with my gymnastics and then and
• 59:34
  then we actually do it and you know, hey, you're not doing any
• 59:36
  of the gymnastics. You're just picking up a barbell
• 59:40
  all the time. We got Matt rotated to do all
• 59:42
  the hands and. Walls, that's fair.
• 59:43
  We didn't have him at the time and he's and he's that's true.
• 59:47
  He's pretty nifty. He's one of the goats spin.
• 59:50
  If you guys are doing, if you guys decided to watch on
• 59:54
  Saturday, I definitely think we need to incorporate this a lot.
• 59:58
  I think the the special works should be fine fine.
• 1:00:04
  No, but you know what I'm saying?
• 1:00:05
  We need to. She has.
• 1:00:06
  She's got no idea what this means.
• 1:00:07
  So be it. So during we'll.
• 1:00:10
  Infiltrate on the show, yes. You know, like we're definitely
• 1:00:13
  going to do this, guys. If we come out full, it's going
• 1:00:16
  to be great. Text us from the floor there,
• 1:00:19
  John, and let us know what the word is.
• 1:00:21
  So during we we started this. I can't remember when we started
• 1:00:24
  it, but anytime we were watching somebody else's yeah, Rogue.
• 1:00:27
  Anytime we were watching somebody else's live stream,
• 1:00:29
  we'll do like watch alongs and stuff.
• 1:00:31
  No it. Was Tijuana palooza?
• 1:00:34
  It was Socal. That's what it was.
• 1:00:35
  Yeah, so we'll get them to go to their stream and just flood the
• 1:00:40
  comments with any word that we choose.
• 1:00:42
  And they're never like, they're always weird.
• 1:00:43
  It could be, it could be grapes, and then they'll just get a
• 1:00:47
  million comments of grapes and then the commentators have no
• 1:00:52
  idea what to say. Like they're like, that's
• 1:00:55
  because it makes no sense at all.
• 1:00:58
  I think Big Mama that. We're here, John.
• 1:01:01
  We're here. Yeah.
• 1:01:02
  All right. Or Big Papa, you know, we can do
• 1:01:06
  Big Papa and like, like, you know.
• 1:01:08
  Papa John might be a little a little better.
• 1:01:10
  Maybe not Papa John, that guy got in trouble, but.
• 1:01:13
  Well, and that's what Sophia, that's what I meant by like
• 1:01:16
  bringing John onto the team was like the whole Big Mama
• 1:01:20
  situation like that. All that was happening fast
• 1:01:22
  because you guys were sort of John, you were courting with
• 1:01:25
  being being on a grid team. And then we decided to do a
• 1:01:29
  watch along live stream and then that that got thrown into
• 1:01:33
  Jeopardy. Can you, can you talk about that
• 1:01:36
  whole situation, getting him on the team, talking with the
• 1:01:39
  teammates? So when the live stream was
• 1:01:43
  happening, I was in my headphones talking to two of my
• 1:01:46
  best friends because they were driving and they're grid players
• 1:01:50
  and I was so my TV was on silent and I was explaining what was
• 1:01:55
  happening to them. They couldn't watch it.
• 1:01:57
  So I had no idea this stuff happened.
• 1:02:00
  That's what we were doing, just in a different manner with less
• 1:02:03
  technical knowledge and. Then when I found out what was
• 1:02:06
  happening, it was it was difficult.
• 1:02:11
  I'm I'm. I'm.
• 1:02:15
  From. The South you guys like and I, I
• 1:02:18
  have my opinions on things and I just kind of had to be a little
• 1:02:22
  political there for a bit. But John was never in my eyes,
• 1:02:25
  jeopardy of not being on the team period.
• 1:02:27
  Just had to, just had to be nice about it.
• 1:02:31
  Yeah. Yeah, my, that my team was
• 1:02:33
  great. Like nobody felt any type of way
• 1:02:36
  on our whole team. That's got to feel great, like
• 1:02:40
  going into it, like knowing your team has your back before you're
• 1:02:42
  even really a member. Yeah, it's fair.
• 1:02:46
  Nobody knew who I was, but that's they were fine with it.
• 1:02:50
  To. Be the other fair the league
• 1:02:52
  too. I mean, I talked to, I've been
• 1:02:54
  in the league a while and I know a lot of the vets and I've
• 1:02:57
  talked to a lot of them and the ones who felt some type of way,
• 1:03:00
  we hash it out and the ones who didn't, I mean, there were most
• 1:03:04
  of them didn't. The ones that did that I did
• 1:03:06
  speak with, most of them are fine now.
• 1:03:09
  I mean, people are going to feel how they feel and they have the
• 1:03:12
  right to feel how they feel. And I just think intent matters.
• 1:03:16
  If it wasn't malicious intent, all you can do is apologize.
• 1:03:20
  I'm, I'm sure I offend a lot of people on a daily basis.
• 1:03:23
  And if I did, I'm sorry. I'll fix it next time I talk to
• 1:03:26
  you. I don't think any John's ever
• 1:03:28
  done anything with malicious intent, I don't think.
• 1:03:31
  So I don't think so really it's, it's it, there should be a study
• 1:03:37
  done on how much hate I get because I, I, I, I feel like, I
• 1:03:41
  feel like I just try to love everybody.
• 1:03:43
  You don't understand how bad others get it.
• 1:03:45
  John, that's true. That's fair.
• 1:03:47
  Yeah. But no, I I appreciate you
• 1:03:50
  coming on, Sophia. Good luck keeping John under
• 1:03:54
  control this weekend. We'll definitely be watching,
• 1:03:58
  throwing some comments out there in the live chat and hopefully
• 1:04:02
  you guys can pull out a victory over one of the best teams.
• 1:04:05
  Yeah, bit of advice. Have somebody there to get John
• 1:04:09
  out of bed. Just just.
• 1:04:11
  Get him there early, yeah. Yeah, I'm the one driving.
• 1:04:16
  Dude, I have to wake up at 1:30 to get on our flight.
• 1:04:21
  So do I. You chose this.
• 1:04:24
  Flight I I didn't, I said, hey, why don't you just book the
• 1:04:28
  flight? I didn't know it was going to
• 1:04:29
  be. Are you flying at Saturday
• 1:04:31
  morning? No, Friday morning, we have to
• 1:04:34
  be there for like a photo shoot for the team, like on Friday.
• 1:04:38
  So Thursday night into Friday morning at 1:30, I have to leave
• 1:04:44
  to go to her house. She lives about an hour away.
• 1:04:46
  And then we're going to the airport.
• 1:04:50
  It's going to. Be great.
• 1:04:51
  It's going to be great. The screen, I said these are the
• 1:04:55
  times, The earliest ones better. OK, but there's eight of us on
• 1:05:02
  this flight. Colton, please send us some
• 1:05:06
  parallel to handstand videos because nobody else can do them
• 1:05:11
  and we need. That's not true.
• 1:05:13
  There are guys that can. Do bad at them, they're bad,
• 1:05:16
  but. Don is really pushing for you,
• 1:05:18
  Colton. I got to see somebody, hey.
• 1:05:22
  Somebody. TuneIn this week.
• 1:05:26
  That's right. Just so people are aware, if
• 1:05:28
  you're expecting, if you're expecting Colton this weekend,
• 1:05:31
  he's he has Norcal, he's got a whole bunch of stuff.
• 1:05:33
  He's. Only no.
• 1:05:34
  Let him think that. Let him think that.
• 1:05:35
  No, I don't want to sell people on stuff that's not going to
• 1:05:38
  happen, right? Like like if you are watching
• 1:05:41
  for Colton to do some stuff, he's not going to be there.
• 1:05:44
  I would rather you not watch and expect Colton.
• 1:05:47
  If you don't care about me, that's fine.
• 1:05:49
  That's fine. All right.
• 1:05:51
  Colton will be at the ones in July.
• 1:05:53
  He will be in July. He's he's going to be at those
• 1:05:56
  ones. OK.
• 1:05:56
  But I just, I don't want to give them unexpect, you know what I
• 1:06:00
  mean? If you expect something and then
• 1:06:01
  it's not what you wanted, like, yeah, that's all.
• 1:06:04
  That's it. You'll have to.
• 1:06:06
  You'll have to fill Colton's shoes.
• 1:06:09
  I think I'm pretty sure I'd bust out of Colton's shoes.
• 1:06:11
  There's a United Grid League YouTube channel.
• 1:06:15
  Yeah, it's just United Grid League on YouTube.
• 1:06:17
  Yeah. All right, Sophia, I appreciate
• 1:06:20
  it. Thank you for joining and good
• 1:06:22
  luck this. Weekend, thank you.
• 1:06:23
  Good luck to your team. Thank.
• 1:06:24
  You. Have a good one, Sophia.
• 1:06:30
  Bye. All right, bug Mama.
• 1:06:33
  There it is, Sophia Davenport, John's coach.
• 1:06:37
  This is not true. Spin cast?
• 1:06:46
  I don't know. I thought.
• 1:06:47
  I thought to. Tyler.
• 1:06:48
  You should ask Mather if they'll let you stream it.
• 1:06:53
  You're not. You're not on it.
• 1:06:55
  You're not on it. Listen.
• 1:06:56
  Yeah, that's what you could say. That's what you could say.
• 1:06:58
  I maybe don't make like an announcement that that you're
• 1:07:01
  partnering, you know what I mean?
• 1:07:02
  Like today I'm saying and just let it happen but.
• 1:07:07
  Spin cast gone rogue. I've heard of worse ideas.
• 1:07:10
  I'm just saying like, yes, I'm not on it.
• 1:07:12
  So like, nothing bad can be said, right?
• 1:07:15
  And then you can just have a freaking not Taylor, but
• 1:07:18
  somebody else not Taylor. Taylor 1 Liability for.
• 1:07:27
  Taylor it would be like no Rep, no Rep, no Rep like like like
• 1:07:31
  he's this is. Stupid, why am I watching this?
• 1:07:34
  No. Have Savon, you know what I
• 1:07:35
  mean? Just, you know, just any,
• 1:07:36
  anybody, anybody. What are they?
• 1:07:37
  Doing What's this workout? Yeah.
• 1:07:40
  Wait, now Caleb would be a good one.
• 1:07:42
  Caleb would be good I he might say something worse than me
• 1:07:45
  though. His or his or witty though you.
• 1:07:49
  Got to Stephon would be hilarious, but yeah, if if they
• 1:07:53
  I don't think it's it's not it's not worth trying spin.
• 1:07:56
  I think he might be for it, especially after the comments
• 1:07:59
  onslaught on their Instagram page.
• 1:08:01
  By the way, we appreciate you guys.
• 1:08:03
  We see it. I I appreciate it.
• 1:08:06
  It's it's really funny because they don't like me, they don't
• 1:08:10
  like me and dude, I mean, hold on then we'll move on.
• 1:08:14
  They they posted a little thing on like their.
• 1:08:22
  The rookies. Yeah, No, no.
• 1:08:24
  But then they posted like an update of it.
• 1:08:27
  And did they? Yes.
• 1:08:30
  Oh, they edited it. No, no, no, they said rookies
• 1:08:32
  that we might have missed. It's it's, I don't know if it's
• 1:08:38
  on that. Honorable mention.
• 1:08:42
  No, I, I spent. I'll try to find the actual
• 1:08:45
  thing so you can see it, but this is what they said.
• 1:08:47
  This is what they. Said.
• 1:08:49
  I it's on like their website not Instagram they said.
• 1:08:54
  They said when we put out a poll who we missed in that post.
• 1:08:58
  John Young was the overwhelming leader in responses, much like
• 1:09:03
  the comments section of the original post.
• 1:09:06
  No doubt John is very strong and has versatility that will be
• 1:09:09
  useful for the Bandits. Coach Sophia has been vocal
• 1:09:11
  about his positive influence on the team as well.
• 1:09:13
  No one can question he has the loudest support group, but how
• 1:09:18
  Will Will translate on the grid is yet to be seen.
• 1:09:21
  Like like that's how they said that's how they said it like
• 1:09:26
  they don't like me at all. And it's like, it's going to be
• 1:09:29
  it's going to be so great, dude, It's going to be so great.
• 1:09:33
  And then, you know, if I'm bad and everybody beats me, like,
• 1:09:35
  you know, happy for them, then people can tell me how bad I am.
• 1:09:38
  That's fine. But.
• 1:09:39
  We we need to get you another photo, John, because you have
• 1:09:41
  one arm, but I tell. You.
• 1:09:43
  We're getting photos on Friday, I promise.
• 1:09:45
  Colton Colton's AI video. Or how come I don't just get an
• 1:09:49
  AI picture? I think that's mess messed up.
• 1:09:52
  They put me out. They put me in the adaptive
• 1:09:54
  division. Everybody else gets in that AI
• 1:09:58
  picture that Matt's not. That's not actually Matt, that's
• 1:10:01
  me. There it is.
• 1:10:03
  Adaptive, John Young. Question is, could you could you
• 1:10:09
  win the adaptive division? No dude, I'm still last in the
• 1:10:13
  run against the one legged people.
• 1:10:18
  Yeah, that's good. They put you at the very bottom
• 1:10:20
  too. Even though you had the most, I
• 1:10:22
  guarantee you had the most people read.
• 1:10:24
  Yeah, last one, dude, they they, they it's like you force their
• 1:10:29
  hand to say something like like you guys like the.
• 1:10:33
  They hit it. They hit it on their website.
• 1:10:35
  Like I was looking for it on Instagram to see it and it's
• 1:10:38
  like I didn't know they put. It on no, no, you didn't even
• 1:10:40
  know. And then they posted on the
• 1:10:41
  website, not on Instagram and like, like I'm thought they
• 1:10:45
  straight up do not like me and whoever I want to be good so
• 1:10:49
  bad. I'm trying, I'm trying my
• 1:10:51
  hardest guys to be good at this. So it's going to be so amazing
• 1:10:56
  if I am because they don't want me to be.
• 1:10:59
  You know what? I mean, is responsible for this.
• 1:11:02
  The amount of pettiness involved is is astounding.
• 1:11:06
  I appreciate it. It's great actually.
• 1:11:09
  I love it so much. If we ever get ahead, if we get
• 1:11:13
  ahead where I can slow down because a lot of times I'm the
• 1:11:16
  last one to go because the heaviest stuff's at the end and
• 1:11:19
  whatever match, right? If we are ahead, I will be like,
• 1:11:26
  oh man, you know what I mean. Or like, dude, if I, if I have
• 1:11:29
  something overhead, I might just walk across the finish line with
• 1:11:32
  the weight overhead. Like I'm going to make a show
• 1:11:35
  out of it. If, if, if we have the chance to
• 1:11:38
  like, if we're ahead, right, everything's like seconds apart.
• 1:11:41
  So like a lot of times I'm probably not going to have a
• 1:11:42
  chance to do that. Anytime I have a chance to do
• 1:11:44
  that, I'm going to and it's going to, I hope it makes people
• 1:11:47
  mad. It's going to be hilarious.
• 1:11:50
  I hope they give you the mic and you just say like, I'm not here,
• 1:11:52
  you know, I'm here to show people I'm not just allowed to
• 1:11:55
  say athlete and I'm also one of the best.
• 1:11:57
  No, no, no, I'm going to be like, listen, everybody did a
• 1:11:59
  great job. I, I think all these people are
• 1:12:03
  great at everything. I mean, I know I just beat
• 1:12:05
  everybody, but everybody's amazing out here.
• 1:12:07
  Like that's, that's, that's how it's going to be.
• 1:12:10
  But dude, one of the one of my JY Barbell girls is on the team.
• 1:12:19
  She's the the young one, the. Young One.
• 1:12:23
  She's 20, so like, it's it's fine.
• 1:12:27
  But like, her sister is into powerlifting and they live in
• 1:12:32
  Illinois in Chicago, where also Tom Shroko lives there.
• 1:12:37
  If you guys don't remember, this is the guy who cut up cut up our
• 1:12:41
  commentary. It made me sound all bad and
• 1:12:43
  tried to get me cancelled. And he said that he's coming to
• 1:12:47
  the match just to Boo me. Nice.
• 1:12:50
  And and and I'm like, dude, I live rent free in that head of
• 1:12:55
  yours, man. I'm I'm just going to be like, I
• 1:12:57
  hope you do great, Tom. I hope you're awesome like is.
• 1:13:01
  He even competing he's. On he's on.
• 1:13:03
  He's on the wild. Yeah, he's on the wild.
• 1:13:06
  But like the we everybody, all the teams come and then like
• 1:13:09
  there's an order of events like we're at 12:00 to 1:15 and then
• 1:13:12
  the next match is at 1:30 and like it's just continues like
• 1:13:16
  that all day. But he's like, I'm just going to
• 1:13:19
  be there to Boo him. And I'm like, cool, like you go
• 1:13:22
  do that, Sir. Like, like, like you're, you're
• 1:13:27
  a grown man. And this is what's this is
• 1:13:29
  what's going on. I told her sister like her,
• 1:13:33
  because like that's how it came to be.
• 1:13:34
  She's oh, my sister's playing grid, right.
• 1:13:36
  And and then she found out that I was on that team and then or
• 1:13:40
  he found out that I was on that team.
• 1:13:42
  And I'm like, man, dude, you're, you're something.
• 1:13:45
  John, just grab the mic when you win and go Boo.
• 1:13:49
  No, no, no. Do they do interviews in between
• 1:13:54
  the? I don't think they have.
• 1:13:56
  Time. Yeah, they do, They do.
• 1:13:57
  Yeah. It's, it's very quick and it's,
• 1:13:59
  it's not, it's not every after everything.
• 1:14:03
  They're there to build you up and.
• 1:14:05
  Then I don't know. I'm pretty sure they pull who
• 1:14:06
  they want to interview too, so I mean, I doubt they pull me
• 1:14:08
  anyway, but if no, I can't. I'm not going to be hateful on
• 1:14:14
  the mic, but I'm going to be happy and cheery and hope
• 1:14:18
  everybody does great. I can't wait.
• 1:14:22
  So yeah, maybe we'll maybe we'll reach out to Mather Tyler.
• 1:14:26
  Let's give it a shot. Hour and 15 minutes.
• 1:14:28
  Anybody not going anywhere? Time to do that.
• 1:14:30
  Yeah, absolutely. Quentin, that's freaking great.
• 1:14:37
  Amazing avatar, make sure you guys.
• 1:14:41
  Know who Quentin is, right? Hey, yeah, I know who Quentin
• 1:14:43
  is. Do you remember?
• 1:14:46
  Were you there when I messed with him at Crash?
• 1:14:48
  No. Like he was in the in the
• 1:14:51
  athlete area and, and I said, hey, is it cool if I lift here?
• 1:14:55
  Because he was kind of moving all around.
• 1:14:57
  Oh, I was there for that. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:14:59
  And, and I was like, hey, is it OK if I'm right here?
• 1:15:02
  It was kind of out of his way, but he was moving around, you
• 1:15:04
  know what I mean? So I thought like I should still
• 1:15:06
  ask. And then he goes no.
• 1:15:08
  And I'm like all right, that's cool.
• 1:15:10
  And I walked around and like and like and then like like 5
• 1:15:12
  minutes later he come walking. He's like hey dude, I was just
• 1:15:15
  playing. I'm like no, you want to be like
• 1:15:16
  that that's fine brother. And then and then like like just
• 1:15:20
  acted like I was mad for like 10 minutes and then and then I went
• 1:15:24
  back there. I'm like, I'm just messing with
• 1:15:25
  you man. Like.
• 1:15:26
  Quentin came up to me after he told you no.
• 1:15:29
  He was like, I don't think he knows some joke.
• 1:15:34
  I was so quick. I was so quick with it.
• 1:15:36
  I was I it kind of did throw me for a loop, but I was I was
• 1:15:39
  quick thinking enough but. Dude, Quinton would be a great,
• 1:15:44
  great athlete and like an entertaining one.
• 1:15:47
  He's so freaking entertaining when he's very, he's hilarious.
• 1:15:50
  All you need. I don't know anybody hates me,
• 1:15:53
  man. But to answer Quinton's
• 1:15:55
  question, because I'm sure, I mean we have 500 people
• 1:15:58
  watching, I'm sure not everybody was there with us while we did
• 1:16:02
  the spin cast with the Grid Championship last year.
• 1:16:06
  We we got the opportunity to live stream their production on
• 1:16:13
  our channel and give our C rate commentary on top of it with our
• 1:16:20
  10 minutes of knowledge of GRID. Actually, that's not true.
• 1:16:24
  We watched the Championship Games matches the day before,
• 1:16:28
  the day before, right, to see who made it.
• 1:16:31
  Tried to learn as much as we could.
• 1:16:33
  Don't know the people other than like somebody that was actually
• 1:16:36
  popular in CrossFit. Will you, Griffin?
• 1:16:38
  That was about it. And Amanda Fisher and.
• 1:16:41
  That might be it. And I mean, Tyler caught her
• 1:16:43
  thick thighs, which is just as bad as anything I've ever said,
• 1:16:46
  but. I apologize to her.
• 1:16:48
  I apologize to her for that. At WFE, it was like, Amanda, I
• 1:16:52
  know your last name, I know it's Fisher.
• 1:16:53
  And I just every time I go to reach for it, just thighs are
• 1:16:57
  there. Hey, I don't apologize to
• 1:16:58
  Carolyn Stanley. I think she appreciates it.
• 1:17:02
  That's you, John. I can't.
• 1:17:03
  I can't carry that kind of clout.
• 1:17:05
  We'll find out next week. So anyway, we were commentating
• 1:17:08
  and John spoke and said there's Big Momma moving that barbell
• 1:17:12
  and some people took offense to it and it exploded and blew up
• 1:17:16
  and people got very upset. Her wife from that comment I
• 1:17:20
  when First off I said big momma is slinging that weight.
• 1:17:24
  You. You.
• 1:17:24
  Complimented. It was a compliment.
• 1:17:27
  And you know what? She is a little big.
• 1:17:30
  That's OK. We're all we all have different
• 1:17:32
  body types. Never mind, there's nothing.
• 1:17:35
  Wrong with that at all. You.
• 1:17:37
  Know what? Blind rankings?
• 1:17:38
  Here we go. Come on, damn it.
• 1:17:40
  OK, what? It was a compliment and this and
• 1:17:47
  then her wife from that comment. I swear there was nothing worse
• 1:17:51
  than that comment. I emailed every single CrossFit
• 1:17:56
  Jim CrossFit HQ Bosman Castro and said that I was the worst
• 1:18:01
  person ever and should never be allowed on a CrossFit floor ever
• 1:18:05
  again. I was the most racist,
• 1:18:06
  misogynistic, whatever name you want to call all the woke terms
• 1:18:10
  that that people like to call people and and that and blah,
• 1:18:14
  blah, blah, blah, blah. And then there was like a
• 1:18:15
  petition for me not to be allowed to do grid from that
• 1:18:19
  comment, from that comment. Dude, the the e-mail to
• 1:18:24
  everybody who's ever been associated with CrossFit ever
• 1:18:27
  was the the greatest moment of all that.
• 1:18:30
  There's a Hitler if you want details.
• 1:18:32
  There is a Hitler video on it. I think it's called John Young
• 1:18:35
  versus the World if anybody wants like the long back story.
• 1:18:40
  Stop talking. It was.
• 1:18:44
  It was top ten spin cast moments, that's for sure.
• 1:18:48
  Yeah, no, it was actually Tom Soroka is the one that made it
• 1:18:52
  worse because he clipped it and made it.
• 1:18:53
  He cut out the parts where you're actually trying to be
• 1:18:56
  complimentary. Just didn't know her name.
• 1:18:59
  All right, before we get ourselves in more trouble, blind
• 1:19:01
  rankings. I know how John says girl and
• 1:19:05
  Big Mama like he speaks in as a black.
• 1:19:10
  Oh, I'm going to pull this, but not look at that.
• 1:19:12
  Avery's such a suck up, man. She's on the she's on the team,
• 1:19:14
  too. It is worth watching Quinton.
• 1:19:19
  There we go, Taylor, There we go.
• 1:19:24
  There's JY Bible barbell shirts. Sign up for programming, you'll
• 1:19:27
  get strong for sure. All right, blind rankings.
• 1:19:31
  Let's see, here we go. We got Syndicate crown coming up
• 1:19:35
  next week, so I fear we should do something about that.
• 1:19:39
  Yeah, let's see. Today's topic for blind rankings
• 1:19:43
  is stoked for Syndicate. These are 5 things you guys are
• 1:19:49
  looking forward to the most. Yeah, it's listed for me, so
• 1:19:53
  ahead to. Syndicate Crown.
• 1:19:54
  All right. You guys ready to start?
• 1:19:57
  I'm ready, John. You ready?
• 1:20:00
  Barry Mcconkiner, how much? Change the font color.
• 1:20:05
  Change it. Yeah, it doesn't.
• 1:20:06
  That doesn't happen. All right, first one.
• 1:20:09
  Goodness, I got 17 texts to tell me to stop talking.
• 1:20:13
  Kill. Taylor Live Taylor Live Saturday
• 1:20:17
  afternoon How high do you want to rank Kill Taylor Live?
• 1:20:23
  Yeah, I think this is pretty high, man, because I feel like
• 1:20:26
  there are some good people that are doing this, yeah.
• 1:20:30
  I would say that, yeah, definitely like a two or three.
• 1:20:34
  I just know Taylor's time on this would probably win the
• 1:20:38
  event at Syndicate. It's.
• 1:20:42
  Which means it might be boring because he might just beat
• 1:20:45
  everybody, like by a lot. It's going to be a fun break
• 1:20:49
  because like we get to like do our thing and highlight all
• 1:20:55
  these athletes and then like it's it'll be the second time
• 1:20:57
  that we've ever done a workout where like pro level athletes
• 1:21:01
  are doing the event and it has no stipulations on the on the
• 1:21:05
  the event itself. I think it's going to be fun.
• 1:21:08
  We're going to get to talk shit. Caleb's going to have a camera
• 1:21:12
  floating around and he's going to be miked up at the same time.
• 1:21:15
  So I mean, like, dude, he's going to be like we're going to
• 1:21:17
  be two feet away from people talking shit about them.
• 1:21:22
  I know that like there's one, there's one spot left.
• 1:21:25
  It's fully it's fully registered for almost.
• 1:21:28
  And so there is it's going to be it's going to be a cool.
• 1:21:31
  I'm I'm going to go with two dude, I don't know because
• 1:21:35
  there's so many good things that are happening at Syndicate.
• 1:21:38
  I would say, I would say 3, three, OK, I don't want, I don't
• 1:21:43
  want the sideshow. I don't think the sideshow is
• 1:21:45
  going to be better than the real show.
• 1:21:47
  OK, fair that. Is that fair?
• 1:21:49
  Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all.
• 1:21:51
  Right Next up, the Sivan broadcast.
• 1:21:56
  Number one, I think this is. I think this is the easy number
• 1:21:59
  one call. Yeah, number.
• 1:22:04
  One. Oh man.
• 1:22:05
  Yeah #1 and just because, just because we're preparing for it.
• 1:22:08
  We're preparing for it more than anything.
• 1:22:11
  We've prepared forever. Yeah, dude, we, we've, we've put
• 1:22:16
  so much energy into this. And like I've met with Wilson
• 1:22:19
  and Sousa at least just on Tuesdays for like the past 12
• 1:22:25
  weeks, usually like hour long, 2 hour long calls.
• 1:22:29
  And then there's like all these calls going on on the side for
• 1:22:32
  us to figure out our own stuff. I mean, there's been a lot of
• 1:22:34
  hours put into this. So everybody thinking we're just
• 1:22:37
  going to show up and just throw it together and have no idea
• 1:22:39
  what we're doing. Very much not.
• 1:22:41
  So I'm not saying that we're not going to screw up.
• 1:22:43
  We're probably going to screw up at some point, but we're very
• 1:22:46
  prepped. I'm very excited for the show.
• 1:22:48
  Like it's going to be everybody's going to be able to
• 1:22:51
  to do their thing and shine. I've done nothing.
• 1:22:55
  That's not true. We talked.
• 1:22:57
  I was on a call once. All right.
• 1:23:02
  Next up, stoked for Syndicate, the actual competition.
• 1:23:07
  Too. Yeah, dude, the events are
• 1:23:11
  killer. The events are great.
• 1:23:13
  I hope, I hope there are races where they're like some of the
• 1:23:18
  events lend themselves to races and some don't.
• 1:23:20
  And I just, I just hope there are, you know what I mean?
• 1:23:23
  But I don't know anybody that's just going to run away with it.
• 1:23:26
  So I think there will be. It's going to be really, really,
• 1:23:29
  really fun to call. It's it's a great like view of
• 1:23:34
  of J Rs programming where there's levels to the fitness in
• 1:23:37
  that and it there's separation value in each one of the
• 1:23:39
  movements. You're going to get to see the
• 1:23:42
  best of the athletes all. Right #2 All right, you guys
• 1:23:45
  have 4:00 and 5:00 open. I don't know, Did we screwed
• 1:23:49
  ourselves? Did you guys screw up?
• 1:23:51
  All right, Next up, four or five.
• 1:23:53
  So we're too hype. Hey, why does Isabel?
• 1:23:56
  No, we're good. I mean, I, I don't, I don't
• 1:23:58
  know. He's going to rate himself low.
• 1:24:02
  So four or five, it's one of those I let's think what else is
• 1:24:08
  there? I don't know this is.
• 1:24:15
  I don't wonder whose baby that is.
• 1:24:17
  Yeah, my mom, my mom's here. She's just, she's just, she
• 1:24:19
  likes to talk. Yeah, 2 babies now.
• 1:24:22
  I would say I I would give it 5 just because I think that the
• 1:24:25
  last one's going to be a good one.
• 1:24:27
  That's cool. And this one's just mediocre.
• 1:24:29
  I'm I'm no, no, no, no, no, no, whatever.
• 1:24:32
  No, put it at 5. No, I don't even care.
• 1:24:34
  I think I'm going to go sub four.
• 1:24:36
  I'm going to go sub 4 minutes and be like F you Tyler.
• 1:24:39
  That's what I just did. If you do that, that's going to
• 1:24:42
  be insane. That's.
• 1:24:43
  Not going to happen. I'm not going to go sub four.
• 1:24:45
  I think there's believe it or not, I've tested it a couple
• 1:24:48
  times. Sub 4 is not going to happen.
• 1:24:51
  I don't know, it's maybe with the crowd sharing you want
• 1:24:55
  you'll be a. Test even that.
• 1:24:56
  No, no shot. I'm telling you right.
• 1:24:59
  It's still a fitness, It's still a fitness test.
• 1:25:02
  As much as people. I don't know how people think
• 1:25:06
  I'm going to do on this. I think I'll have a good time,
• 1:25:09
  but it's not. It's not.
• 1:25:11
  What if we put a 10 piece chicken nugget on the?
• 1:25:14
  That might make me 30 seconds faster, but like Gee is still
• 1:25:19
  significantly fitter than I am. Like it's even if I'm just as
• 1:25:22
  strong. Is Gee gonna compete against
• 1:25:24
  you? No, I don't think so.
• 1:25:26
  Do you know who is competing against you?
• 1:25:31
  There's five guys that I don't I've never heard of.
• 1:25:35
  Like I mean some semi finals guys, some guys who are just
• 1:25:38
  really, really strong. There's a bigger guy that does
• 1:25:42
  has snatched like 315 that you know, that should be fun.
• 1:25:45
  But if he's got the same problem that I got, but even worse, I'm
• 1:25:49
  not worried about him just because I know what this is.
• 1:25:54
  And then there's one like secret guy that they won't tell me
• 1:25:57
  about. Yeah, I was getting ready to say
• 1:25:59
  for anybody who thinks like, oh, this is this is the part where I
• 1:26:02
  go and get food and just tune out, I think there's going to be
• 1:26:06
  some surprises that you're going to want to TuneIn.
• 1:26:09
  For and listen and I'm going to try to put on a show, but it's
• 1:26:11
  just I know I'll probably blow up doing it is all.
• 1:26:14
  That's all I'm saying. Good.
• 1:26:16
  That's what we want to see. Yeah, you know, it's going to be
• 1:26:19
  funny the way I didn't, didn't think I'd be able to do those
• 1:26:21
  burpees and a miracle happened. So maybe, you know, maybe it
• 1:26:24
  could happen. Maybe we'll shine in.
• 1:26:26
  If I say, if I say, if I say enough prayers to God to help me
• 1:26:30
  through this, like you know. We just need a few folding
• 1:26:33
  chairs. Like it's like probably like
• 1:26:34
  three of them in between the stations, one barbell to the
• 1:26:39
  next. Dave, it's going to be That
• 1:26:45
  one's going to be fun, John's going to do great, and you guys
• 1:26:49
  are going to get a very good show.
• 1:26:51
  So you put you down here at 5 John.
• 1:26:54
  All right, last one. It's only better than John, but
• 1:26:59
  not as good as the rest. And it is Kale's revenge.
• 1:27:04
  Oh shit. Shane put me underneath Kale.
• 1:27:07
  Tyler, that's rough. If Kale shows up, dude, do you
• 1:27:10
  think like do you think that that's not ranked?
• 1:27:12
  What are the what are the odds that he does?
• 1:27:20
  I know too much 20%. I think it's lower than that.
• 1:27:29
  I put the odds that he shows up at 5%.
• 1:27:33
  I need to. Put I'm going to do that.
• 1:27:35
  For the record, I do not know whatever.
• 1:27:38
  I don't know, whatever. Title.
• 1:27:39
  Put it in heat 1. I don't know enough you.
• 1:27:42
  Should put it in heat one will hell showing.
• 1:27:44
  Up by Speaking of which, I think Syndicate Heat one league is
• 1:27:51
  open now. Go in and sign up and get ready.
• 1:27:54
  We're going to do yeah, we're going to do each heat, I think.
• 1:28:00
  And so John, me Spin and I think Mr. Apollo Performance himself
• 1:28:06
  will all pick an athlete from each heat who we think's going
• 1:28:09
  to do the best. You guys can pick ours.
• 1:28:11
  But then we'll also have like the regular picks per event and
• 1:28:13
  then some. Definitely some good, good props
• 1:28:16
  for this one. But yeah, Kale, I think I'm
• 1:28:18
  going to add Kale. I would.
• 1:28:20
  Love it for the record I want. 100% dude.
• 1:28:23
  I think it would be amazing. What's the line on that?
• 1:28:26
  Like if he if he shows up and you pick that, is it worth like
• 1:28:29
  1000 points? No, you can't make it
• 1:28:32
  untouchable, But no. But I do think it's like a 50
• 1:28:35
  points to five points deal. Yeah.
• 1:28:40
  Yeah, I mean like your your things like it's, it's 100 for
• 1:28:43
  each event. There's six events or 7 events.
• 1:28:46
  6. 66 events, so it's 600 with props, you know, we're flirting
• 1:28:52
  around 809 hundred and then like I think a 50 to 5 is is
• 1:28:56
  suitable. Yeah, Barclay says news to me.
• 1:29:00
  Yeah, I wanted to let you know we're going to do that.
• 1:29:05
  Barclay if you don't freaking show up when he's.
• 1:29:08
  Dude, Barclay's getting hurt early.
• 1:29:10
  He's ready to work, bro. Good.
• 1:29:13
  Yeah, somebody too. OK, so.
• 1:29:15
  You think spin is? Is GAIL going to show up?
• 1:29:18
  What's your percent? I 100% want him to just because
• 1:29:22
  I think it'd be awesome if he did show up.
• 1:29:24
  I think it's like 2 percent, 1%. But damn, what I think is going
• 1:29:35
  to happen, What happens, I don't know.
• 1:29:37
  Yeah, that's fair. Like.
• 1:29:41
  Do I want him to 100%? Brian doesn't.
• 1:29:47
  He doesn't support the CrossFit game season anymore, so I don't
• 1:29:49
  have to block. Him, but he supported European
• 1:29:51
  athletes and he didn't talk about the French throwdown one
• 1:29:55
  time because you know what? The French throwdown aren't
• 1:29:58
  paying him. You know who is paying him?
• 1:30:05
  The big any, anybody, whoever. He's talking.
• 1:30:06
  About that's right. So that's the blind rankings.
• 1:30:11
  Yeah, wait, There's one thing I I was surprised to not see on
• 1:30:15
  the list, which is Ben Smith. I'm, I think it's extremely cool
• 1:30:23
  of him to show up to Syndicate knowing that like he just does
• 1:30:27
  basic CrossFit stuff, man, he's still just working out doing the
• 1:30:30
  same stuff he's always done and he's still fit enough to show up
• 1:30:33
  at one of these. I think it, I think it's
• 1:30:35
  incredible and I. Mean it's what he said in the
• 1:30:37
  semifinals, like why he did the in affiliate semifinal.
• 1:30:39
  It's like I tell my members to show up and compete and test
• 1:30:43
  yourself. Yeah.
• 1:30:44
  So he did it and now he's got an invite to this, so might as well
• 1:30:47
  just go test yourself. And I mean, again, bias because
• 1:30:52
  of Jr., but like, those are fun workouts for athletes to do.
• 1:30:56
  It's not like you're doing something that's going to suck.
• 1:30:58
  Like you do something unique and different.
• 1:31:00
  And like it'll probably be cool for him to do workouts or touch
• 1:31:03
  like elements that are more like the games than what it was in
• 1:31:09
  the past. So right, it'd be fun to see him
• 1:31:11
  on the floor again. So I don't think there's
• 1:31:13
  anything he can get hurt on. You can get hurt.
• 1:31:18
  I mean, yeah, but like I. Don't.
• 1:31:20
  You can run wrong and hurt yourself.
• 1:31:22
  Well, yeah, that's fair. But I just don't see any
• 1:31:24
  movement that's like, you know, a dead, like people are
• 1:31:28
  definitely going to get hurt or you you're more exposed to that.
• 1:31:32
  So I just think it's cool. I wonder if it's sort of his
• 1:31:35
  statement of like I'm supporting this come out and support.
• 1:31:41
  Yeah, Last topic, the RUFFLE. What is RUFFLE?
• 1:31:48
  It's an acronym. It's an acronym for Rolf May or
• 1:31:53
  may not have hurt her elbow. Bad acronym that's.
• 1:31:56
  Not what it is at all, but Yep, you guys here see.
• 1:32:00
  Those letters in there saying, oh, where, where you?
• 1:32:03
  Get bad acronyms. How?
• 1:32:05
  It works anyway if you guys were paying attention.
• 1:32:10
  Was it last Friday? I was catching glimpses of this
• 1:32:14
  during labor. Yeah, it's pretty wild.
• 1:32:17
  If you go back through my Instagram or check out the
• 1:32:19
  article, you you would or watch the live stream of the World
• 1:32:24
  Fitness Project. Emily Wolf withdrew from
• 1:32:30
  competition after day 2. That was after the after the
• 1:32:34
  jerk event and the sled push. And I went and grabbed a clip of
• 1:32:43
  what appeared to be where she probably hurt her elbow because
• 1:32:47
  she did that. And then she kind of just like
• 1:32:50
  this for a bit and then did not lift again and then she
• 1:32:53
  withdrew. So I said it appears that she
• 1:32:55
  was injured. If you watch the broadcast
• 1:32:59
  Sunday morning, Tommy Marquez said she was dealing with a back
• 1:33:02
  issue, some type of injury. So I put up a clip.
• 1:33:08
  I put the clip up, wrote the article.
• 1:33:10
  And you probably saw the the comment from Emily's husband.
• 1:33:17
  I did. Not.
• 1:33:17
  Contact me. So he did.
• 1:33:21
  He said hey, hey, stop that. And so I called him and talked
• 1:33:25
  to chatted and he did not like that I put up the video and
• 1:33:27
  threatened copyright strikes and all this stuff because of the
• 1:33:32
  video and did not appreciate me speculating of her injury.
• 1:33:39
  Can he can't copyright strike you?
• 1:33:41
  It's not He doesn't own the big W.
• 1:33:43
  That is true. I have no idea what World
• 1:33:48
  Fitness Project stance is on it. I would argue that it's under
• 1:33:52
  fair use because it's a clip of a 10 second clip of what appears
• 1:33:57
  to be an injury. You can see that on social media
• 1:33:59
  of any basketball injury, football injury, whatever.
• 1:34:03
  Anybody time anybody apparently looks to be getting hurt, there
• 1:34:07
  are clips all over Twitter, Instagram of whatever, you know,
• 1:34:11
  and somebody falling down, medical staff coming or, or
• 1:34:15
  walking off to the locker room, etcetera.
• 1:34:18
  And so we went round and round and round and you know,
• 1:34:21
  whatever. I ultimately took down the video
• 1:34:25
  just to not from from Instagram just to not have to deal with my
• 1:34:30
  account potentially getting naked.
• 1:34:33
  That sucks, dude, because you you just laid out the whole
• 1:34:36
  case. It's like every there's a bunch
• 1:34:38
  of footage of this stuff everywhere.
• 1:34:41
  Also, it was a public link. I know that they took down the
• 1:34:44
  feed afterwards, but it's not like it wasn't still up.
• 1:34:47
  Yeah. So what are you talking about?
• 1:34:49
  You can go out there. Not be on YouTube later, I
• 1:34:51
  don't. Think they're ever going to put
• 1:34:53
  it on YouTube? I don't know, but you can go to
• 1:34:55
  their website and you can go to Event 4, the final heat, and you
• 1:34:59
  can see that part right now. Like it's still out there.
• 1:35:02
  It's not like they hit it. And so that is why the video is
• 1:35:07
  not out there. I just didn't want to deal with,
• 1:35:11
  you know, the bullshit like the woolly Meemuth or whatever how
• 1:35:15
  his account got taken down because of some stupid copyright
• 1:35:18
  strike. Like you can't fight Instagram
• 1:35:20
  if something happens. So it's like, I'm just going to,
• 1:35:23
  you know, whatever, you can go out there and watch it on your
• 1:35:27
  own. I don't think as media
• 1:35:30
  speculating about an injury, when you see somebody appear to
• 1:35:34
  hurt their elbow, shake it off like they hurt their elbow and
• 1:35:38
  then withdraw, That's what media does.
• 1:35:43
  You point out things and people want to know, why did Emily
• 1:35:47
  Rolfe not compete at TFX? Probably because she has an
• 1:35:50
  injury. And and what wasn't there some
• 1:35:53
  talk of like Hertz potential sponsors that she has or
• 1:35:57
  something like? That you mentioned that I have
• 1:35:58
  no idea what he was talking about.
• 1:36:00
  But that's also like you're like, that's pertinent knowledge
• 1:36:03
  that I, I don't know why a sponsor would want to drop you
• 1:36:06
  if that's the case. That's ridiculous.
• 1:36:08
  But like that's also relevant information.
• 1:36:11
  If the sponsor wants to like pull out, they should be able to
• 1:36:14
  pull out and so. I guarantee Harry, I guarantee
• 1:36:18
  Harry from ESC sounds is not going to drop her because she
• 1:36:21
  may, may or may not have gotten hurt.
• 1:36:23
  True, Harry's a good dude so. Right.
• 1:36:27
  Like, no. And I and I, I, you know, I know
• 1:36:32
  John Wooley doesn't like us very much, and I know Sevon doesn't
• 1:36:36
  like him very much, but yeah, I felt bad for him when that
• 1:36:43
  happened. I, I don't think there's ever, I
• 1:36:47
  don't, I don't take joy in that happening to him because he had
• 1:36:52
  what? Half a million followers.
• 1:36:53
  Half a million followers and then it went goes to 0.
• 1:36:57
  Like that's that. And then this is what he does.
• 1:37:00
  You know, I don't know if he makes a living off of this.
• 1:37:02
  He probably doesn't, but still, it's a lot of work to build
• 1:37:09
  that. It's not, you know what I mean?
• 1:37:10
  And like he worked hard on that. Doesn't matter if you, you know,
• 1:37:16
  disagree with people or not. Like he worked hard.
• 1:37:19
  He's at. He's at 62,000 right now.
• 1:37:21
  Just to get all of it taken away because one person is offended
• 1:37:26
  is is ridiculous. And so like, I remember 2 opens
• 1:37:32
  ago, I made a meme about there was a video of a woman who's, or
• 1:37:38
  a guy who's like dancing behind a woman.
• 1:37:40
  And it wasn't like it was just guy dancing.
• 1:37:43
  And the woman took offense to it, turned around and slapped
• 1:37:45
  him. And the meme was literally just
• 1:37:48
  about Baz or me getting slapped by wall balls when or wall walks
• 1:37:54
  when Baz programs it, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:37:57
  And it kind of went viral or several million views on it.
• 1:37:59
  And then all of a sudden I got a offensive strike, not a
• 1:38:03
  copyright, but like it was offensive triggered all that
• 1:38:06
  crap and I appealed it and it I won and it went back up.
• 1:38:10
  I didn't had all my little strikes taken away.
• 1:38:13
  And then like 3 days later it happened again and it wouldn't
• 1:38:15
  let me do it. And I got like shadow banned for
• 1:38:18
  like 3 months two years ago in the open.
• 1:38:23
  And so it sucks on when you're dealing with Instagram or you
• 1:38:27
  can't even like talk to somebody or get something back.
• 1:38:30
  And if you're dealing with a copyright strike and somebody
• 1:38:31
  takes you down like that's complete garbage.
• 1:38:35
  So anyway, that is why if you saw it, there was a video and
• 1:38:39
  then took it down, I still believe it's fair use because I
• 1:38:43
  was not impacting the actual broadcaster trying to take away
• 1:38:46
  from views. If anything, it was calling out
• 1:38:48
  what I had seen during that and saying that it looks like it was
• 1:38:52
  an apparent injury and that's why it looks like she had
• 1:38:54
  withdrawn. So yeah, Speaking of injuries,
• 1:38:59
  Benoit Boulanger strained his squad.
• 1:39:03
  He will not be at Syndicate Crown so he was close to
• 1:39:06
  qualifying in the in affiliate semifinals.
• 1:39:09
  Went to the World Fitness project, did OK.
• 1:39:13
  I think he was doing well early and then kind of fade faded
• 1:39:16
  which sounds like is because of his strained quad.
• 1:39:18
  So he will not be in Knoxville to compete.
• 1:39:22
  I thought he had a good chance to at least be in contention so
• 1:39:28
  that sucks. Another situation where we now
• 1:39:29
  have one, maybe 2 injuries from World Fitness Project.
• 1:39:34
  Does that impact the season? World Fitness Project Athletes.
• 1:39:38
  Athletes, yes. So, So yeah, that's where we're
• 1:39:40
  at. I don't have anything else,
• 1:39:43
  guys. Tyler, what percentile was
• 1:39:45
  Brian? They gave me some stupid number.
• 1:39:50
  They said 17th percentile, but then I looked it up on the
• 1:39:53
  Internet and it was like he was like 80th or something.
• 1:39:57
  So. I don't know what the
• 1:39:58
  percentiles are. Garbage.
• 1:39:59
  So like they said, Abby was like 14 percentile and then on her
• 1:40:04
  three months she was 28 percentile and then on her four
• 1:40:09
  month, which she got yesterday. 98th.
• 1:40:12
  She was 49 percentile so. Climbing those percentiles.
• 1:40:15
  And listen, Leslie's a, a little bitty girl and I'm not like the
• 1:40:21
  biggest guy. So like 49 percentile, we're
• 1:40:23
  doing pretty good. And I'm, I'm hoping, I'm hoping
• 1:40:26
  we can get to 68 percentile or something like that in the next
• 1:40:29
  visit. And then she'll be a big old
• 1:40:32
  girl just. Beefing her up.
• 1:40:34
  Yeah. I.
• 1:40:35
  I want a brick. That's what I want.
• 1:40:38
  Like, dude, we're gonna play basketball.
• 1:40:40
  We've been watching some Caitlin Clark.
• 1:40:42
  We're just, we're just, we're just learning.
• 1:40:44
  We're learning, man. I think like I can't tell.
• 1:40:50
  I look at him all the time and I can't I can't tell what he looks
• 1:40:52
  like. He definitely has my torso to
• 1:40:55
  femur length ratio because my torso so much.
• 1:40:57
  I was standing next to Colton and Austin and we're talking
• 1:41:03
  about bike setups for like the Echo bike.
• 1:41:06
  And they were. That world fitness project?
• 1:41:08
  Yeah. And Austin said he was like on
• 1:41:13
  AI think he was on a 5 or 6 tall and then whatever the the
• 1:41:18
  adjustment with the top is. And I was like, you're on like a
• 1:41:21
  six. Like how is it because I go on a
• 1:41:23
  four? I was like, how's that?
• 1:41:25
  Possible Tyler, we we need to talk about your bike setup.
• 1:41:29
  I'm telling you dude, I can't. You know what I'm on.
• 1:41:31
  It's like 7. I'm on an 8.
• 1:41:35
  That's crazy. Comfortable, which if I was on
• 1:41:38
  an 8. I'm on A7 or 8:00, but I know
• 1:41:41
  that the different models are a little bit different though too,
• 1:41:43
  right? And you need to be on like A9 or
• 1:41:45
  A10. Mine is not mine is A7.
• 1:41:48
  No, I when I went to when I went to the the affiliate for the
• 1:41:53
  open, I think it was like an 8 or A9.
• 1:41:56
  OK, so maybe, maybe it's. So I think some of the different
• 1:41:59
  models have a different. Number system.
• 1:42:00
  You want to be on the highest one that you can pedal without
• 1:42:04
  reaching and the seat is always all the way up.
• 1:42:07
  That is the most efficient way to cycle your seat is all the
• 1:42:14
  way up, and then you want to be on the highest setting that you
• 1:42:17
  can be where you're not reaching that little crazy knee thing
• 1:42:21
  they tell people it's so wrong. I I do think it's crazy that the
• 1:42:26
  bike I, I wonder who moves it back that there's no yeah.
• 1:42:32
  I know, I don't know, but Tyler does another freaking 4.
• 1:42:37
  That's what he's doing and. He looks like in the middle and
• 1:42:40
  he's just lighting his. Quads up.
• 1:42:42
  Why, Tyler, if you go on 6, if you go on a six all the way up,
• 1:42:48
  I bet you're like 4 RPMS higher on average.
• 1:42:52
  Like same, same feeling, but four to five RPMS on average.
• 1:42:56
  So whatever you're 65, whatever 65 RPMS feels like you'll be
• 1:43:00
  holding 70. Wait, if you're if you hold 70
• 1:43:04
  in workouts, normally you'll be holding 75.
• 1:43:06
  Yeah, he moves it back, John, because it's so low that he has
• 1:43:09
  like that gives him a little bit more space on the.
• 1:43:11
  Pedal, I promise, all the way up and then the tallest you can go
• 1:43:15
  without kind of reaching for the pedals.
• 1:43:18
  Yeah. I, I can even bike on a nine,
• 1:43:21
  dude, it's, it's uncomfortable to bike on a nine, but I can, I
• 1:43:23
  can bike on a nine, but like that's what 8's, Eight's the
• 1:43:26
  number. I'll do it tomorrow.
• 1:43:29
  I'll try it out. The whole point was, is that
• 1:43:31
  like we were standing next to, I said awesome, come here.
• 1:43:34
  And I put my hip like our hips next together and I was like,
• 1:43:37
  where's your hip in relation to mine?
• 1:43:38
  They're in the exact same place. And but my torso is like this
• 1:43:42
  much longer than his. And so it's not going to work
• 1:43:46
  out for Brown as far as weightlifting goes.
• 1:43:48
  That's about a death sentence when it comes to weight lifting.
• 1:43:51
  Is having a long torso when you're torso more upright?
• 1:43:55
  Yeah. Do you want that?
• 1:43:56
  Yeah, if you have good, if you have good hips, which I don't,
• 1:44:00
  that's your fault. Yeah, but that, don't put that
• 1:44:03
  on Bron. Bron tips are great.
• 1:44:05
  That's true. I bet you his squat position is
• 1:44:07
  fantastic. That dude, that little dude is a
• 1:44:11
  lifter. I can already see his name is
• 1:44:13
  Bron. That's true, but anyway, he's
• 1:44:18
  where. Where was Colton?
• 1:44:19
  What is his seat? He was probably a fifth
• 1:44:21
  percentile baby. Is that what you're asking?
• 1:44:23
  No Colton seat. That's you did him dirty there,
• 1:44:30
  Tyler. That was a little Colton.
• 1:44:32
  That was not OK. That was not OK.
• 1:44:36
  Like, like I think that's meaner than anything I've ever said.
• 1:44:40
  And it's, it's just, it's crazy. Yeah, for people, for people who
• 1:44:46
  don't know, I'm 5 foot 10. Tyler's like 5858 and a half
• 1:44:50
  5/8. Five and 958.
• 1:44:52
  I'm 6 foot. And spin 6 foot.
• 1:44:55
  Yeah. So what was What was Colton's C
• 1:44:58
  type? Tyler.
• 1:44:59
  Three. Yeah, I think at 3:00.
• 1:45:03
  So I have my 5 foot 2 girls. Damn you are supposed to be
• 1:45:12
  watching. It's like goat pet Colton.
• 1:45:13
  And they're they're, they're, they're biking.
• 1:45:17
  They're biking on a four man. You're what?
• 1:45:20
  My 5 foot like, like there's like 2 of them, 5 foot four or
• 1:45:24
  five foot 25 foot two and five foot one girls and they're
• 1:45:28
  biking on A4. Yeah, and they're holding 70
• 1:45:33
  RPMS at that height when we're doing bike interval workouts.
• 1:45:40
  All right, I'll try it. You know why?
• 1:45:41
  Because we're bike in the most efficient way.
• 1:45:43
  We. Don't have to do.
• 1:45:47
  That you guys should try that bike workout of Taylor's that I
• 1:45:50
  did. It's a good one.
• 1:45:51
  I'm down for a biker. You just want to text it to the
• 1:45:53
  GroupMe and spin them both do it.
• 1:45:54
  We're both. It's like a 2626 K.
• 1:46:00
  Oh, that's a long time, was. That the 10 is that the one that
• 1:46:03
  goes like damper settings up and down?
• 1:46:05
  I think I've. Done that.
• 1:46:05
  Yeah, the damper set. It's really cool.
• 1:46:07
  You toured the self. Yeah, I've done that.
• 1:46:09
  Yeah, I've done that. It's a.
• 1:46:10
  Really cool workout. Yeah, I like, I love things like
• 1:46:12
  that. I think it'd be better now that
• 1:46:14
  I have worked on it a little bit.
• 1:46:15
  Now you gotta get your RPMS up. I will say, John, your your,
• 1:46:21
  your, your advice is paying off. You just.
• 1:46:24
  Keep on edging it up until and then you will find where it's
• 1:46:28
  like you can't do it anymore right, but then where that is is
• 1:46:32
  where you're going to be the most efficient.
• 1:46:35
  So I say you get to damper 4 and then 4 1/2 was too much you're
• 1:46:38
  at 86 RPMS. You can't do it anymore right
• 1:46:40
  then four at 90 to 92 is where you should live like that's
• 1:46:45
  where you work out anytime any biker work out that's where you
• 1:46:47
  live. I'm.
• 1:46:49
  Saying I just use the same methodology on the Echo Bike 4.
• 1:46:53
  It's. There.
• 1:46:56
  What are you on the biker? I don't know what to say.
• 1:47:00
  I go. I go until like I stand on one
• 1:47:03
  pedal and pull the the seat up to my junk.
• 1:47:11
  OK, dude. That's the guy you're supposed
• 1:47:14
  to be maxed out. I'm on a, I'm on a 17 spin.
• 1:47:18
  That's about right. Or it's about where we're at in
• 1:47:20
  the echo though. Yeah.
• 1:47:22
  So I probably could go up a little bit.
• 1:47:24
  This, yeah. All right, that's it.
• 1:47:28
  Way to go to Tyler. I made another enemy John.
• 1:47:31
  Good luck on Saturday. I love Cole.
• 1:47:33
  Thank. You, you did great and I hope I
• 1:47:35
  didn't re ruffle any feathers. I hope people are done being
• 1:47:38
  offended. If they are, I'm sorry and I'll
• 1:47:41
  I don't mean it. You'll find out on Saturday,
• 1:47:43
  yeah. So you don't mean to double
• 1:47:45
  down? Stay tuned.
• 1:47:47
  We may we may try to see if Matt or did not.
• 1:47:49
  Watch this. Sometimes I just can't.
• 1:47:51
  I just keep going and I can't stop.
• 1:47:53
  It's a problem. We know so.
• 1:47:57
  Tyler might be back, we might do might do a spin cast, we may try
• 1:48:00
  to get the live stream off again and nothing else.
• 1:48:02
  Maybe just do a wash along. So that could be fun.
• 1:48:05
  Otherwise we'll see you guys on Wednesday.
• 1:48:09
  The right before Syndicate crown.
• 1:48:11
  So yeah. It's going to be fun.
• 1:48:13
  That's right. All right, guys.
• 1:48:14
  See you next week. I apologize to absolutely
• 1:48:18
  nobody.
