  Welcome to the Spin. We are without Mr. Spin today,
• 0:39
  but we have some special guests coming on Mr. Bryson Del Monte
• 0:44
  of Sentinel Training and we'll see if C Beaver shows up.
• 0:49
  He was near explosives today, so he may he may in fact be
• 0:54
  deceased, but we'll see. Did he die?
• 0:56
  Yeah, good. Maybe he did text me, so he's
• 1:00
  got his hands left for sure. This is probably the most I've
• 1:06
  ever prepped for a show without spin.
• 1:09
  Sound your Your host voice sounds very confident.
• 1:12
  Yeah, I, I feel a little bit better.
• 1:14
  I'm not as confident about your comments.
• 1:24
  John, did you get in the comments and?
• 1:26
  I I don't look. Very in the shit today.
• 1:29
  I I look at the comments about 12 hours after we post a show
• 1:34
  and then I never look at it ever again.
• 1:37
  Bryson I. Love, I love seeing the comments
• 1:38
  after I'm on a show. Yeah.
• 1:41
  Yeah, there's. I'm so polarizing I don't even
• 1:43
  know why. Do you?
• 1:46
  I? I don't.
• 1:46
  Never go check the Sentinel. There's Caleb now.
• 1:48
  What up? Oh.
• 1:50
  My God. Hi.
• 1:52
  I don't. I go ahead, Tyler.
• 1:55
  I don't ever check the Sentinel comments.
• 1:57
  Or do you? Are you just talking about
• 1:59
  Sevens comments? Yeah, like when we're on, when
• 2:02
  I'm on sevens or like shut up and scribble.
• 2:05
  You'll you'll pull those up? Yeah.
• 2:07
  Do you get in there and throw? Throw punches?
• 2:11
  Sometimes, honestly, I respond to people more when it's like a
• 2:15
  show that I wasn't on, like, oh, on Spin last week, I was about
• 2:20
  to argue with someone defending John and the comments.
• 2:23
  I had this whole thing typed up and I was like, yeah, I don't
• 2:25
  really feel like doing this right now.
• 2:26
  And then I deleted it, but I don't remember what it was
• 2:28
  about. You know what actually, fuck
• 2:30
  John. That's exactly what happened.
• 2:34
  That's exactly. What happened?
• 2:38
  We have one comment and I'm I'm glad Bryson's here for this
• 2:41
  comment, actually. That's it, We have one comment.
• 2:45
  Well, we, we, we can go through some others, but this one I'd
• 2:47
  like to start off with should get us off started pretty hot.
• 2:50
  Michelle van van Kazaa, 1456 I agree with Tyler here.
• 3:02
  If we never if we never innovate innovative the movements, we
• 3:07
  wouldn't have butterfly fly pull ups or butterfly chested bar.
• 3:11
  If you aren't good enough to do the butterfly ring muscle UPS,
• 3:14
  more power to you. Or if you are good enough to do
• 3:16
  the butterfly ring muscle UPS, more power to you.
• 3:19
  Bryson, this comes about due to the overhead lunge debacle.
• 3:29
  Bryson and I got into that. You are.
• 3:31
  So it's dumb about. I'm willing to be unfucked about
• 3:35
  it. I.
• 3:37
  I am going to cap this conversation at 3 minutes 'cause
• 3:40
  this is not a shot up in scribble show and we're not
• 3:42
  talking about movement for 40 minutes.
• 3:45
  I, I, I wasn't nearly as passionate about it as I was
• 3:48
  arguing with you. When you get revved up, I'm
• 3:50
  like, all right, time to get revved up.
• 3:52
  Why am I wrong? So my theory is that if you can
• 3:55
  touch them together, you're more you're more flexible overhead
• 4:00
  and you're strong in that position.
• 4:04
  And my underlying argument is that we want to be as flexible
• 4:08
  as possible while remaining strong.
• 4:09
  And that's part of like the tenants of CrossFit.
• 4:13
  That's not what the comment was either, though.
• 4:15
  I'm interested. I would.
• 4:16
  Well, it all plays into that though, like.
• 4:19
  When you're wrong. Pull ups if we didn't allow for
• 4:23
  people to figure out how to do do it the fastest way.
• 4:26
  Yeah, I do think that is completely separate from this
• 4:28
  thing. I I I can I agree.
• 4:31
  Yeah, well, well, well, UN fuck me and then answer.
• 4:34
  OK, well you're wrong because it doesn't take more mobility to
• 4:38
  touch the dumbbells together. It's not a more flexible
• 4:43
  position. It's not like a oh oh you're so
• 4:45
  mobile you can touch the dumbbells together.
• 4:47
  That's so cool. That's not a thing.
• 4:49
  People with bad shoulder mobility get bailed out by being
• 4:54
  able to hold the dumbbells together.
• 4:55
  What? You're saying that we should
• 4:56
  reward the people who are more flexible because it's one of the
• 5:00
  10 general physical skills I have 100% agree with.
• 5:03
  And the way to reward them is to not let people hold the
• 5:05
  dumbbells together. Because then the people with
• 5:07
  good mobility are in a more passive position here because
• 5:11
  they're they have really good mobility.
• 5:12
  And the worst mobility you have, the less you can get into that
• 5:15
  position and becomes a more active position.
• 5:17
  So it's exponentially harder for people with bad mobility.
• 5:20
  As soon as you let people hold the dumbbells together, it
• 5:23
  doesn't matter if your elbows are bent if you just crunch them
• 5:26
  together here, it's still way easier than being able to just
• 5:30
  hold a good overhead position. And two, I don't know if it's
• 5:35
  surprised at this point or not, but I'm very mobile in my
• 5:38
  shoulder and I've never thought about the dumbbells touching or
• 5:42
  not touching. I just did what was natural and
• 5:44
  they weren't even. They were never close to
• 5:46
  touching. Right, Caleb, can you, can you
• 5:48
  touch the dumbbells? Fuck no dude, I'm the guy that
• 5:51
  does this. I'm freaking you could.
• 5:54
  Touch them together if you wanted to.
• 5:56
  You might not be able to. Get your arms straight.
• 5:59
  This is not helpful to me at all.
• 6:01
  I. Would love for Ricky to do this
• 6:02
  workout allowing him to touch the dumbbells together if he's
• 6:07
  faster or not. Yeah.
• 6:10
  I I guess I never considered that people might touch him like
• 6:13
  this. That never.
• 6:14
  I was like, there's no fucking way I would do that.
• 6:17
  If you touch them together just and, then your mobility isn't as
• 6:21
  big of a factor. Right.
• 6:24
  What about the innovation of the ring muscle lips or?
• 6:27
  I think that specific example is dumb.
• 6:32
  Just, well, we were talking about grid when that came about.
• 6:34
  And then it kind of like morphed into it, like morphed into that.
• 6:38
  We weren't like petitioning for that to be a thing.
• 6:42
  I think there's a place for letting people just figure it
• 6:46
  out, Like, hey, it's literally just point A point B and you can
• 6:50
  do it however you want. There's definitely a place for
• 6:52
  that. And probably most of the time
• 6:54
  that should be the case. But on things like a ring muscle
• 6:58
  up, if you compare a butterfly ring muscle up to a normal
• 7:02
  gymnastics, a ring muscle up, it looks so bad and it's just not
• 7:07
  as even the best. People do the butterfly ring
• 7:12
  muscle up but flip up into a handstand.
• 7:15
  Well, I, I don't know, I mean, the only people I've seen do it
• 7:17
  really is probably Alex Smith and and he's really good at
• 7:21
  them, but he looks way better to just watch him do normal ring
• 7:25
  muscle UPS. And to a certain extent, like,
• 7:28
  yeah, maybe it doesn't matter. But it's also the same kind of
• 7:30
  argument with like the double under crossovers.
• 7:33
  It's like, hey, I get why this is a test of fitness because of
• 7:38
  accuracy and all that stuff, but this isn't, it just looks too
• 7:42
  dumb. We could probably do it in
• 7:44
  better ways. And I think it's the same
• 7:45
  gimmick. Yeah, yeah.
• 7:47
  It's just kind of gimmicky. And I think with the ring muscle
• 7:49
  specifically, that example is when the standards should be
• 7:54
  held that way that you you are not allowed to do butterfly just
• 7:57
  because it keeps it from looking gimmicky.
• 8:01
  Now something like the ring handstand push up, I think they
• 8:05
  got away from that the second that that workout was ruined by
• 8:11
  the inconsistency of judging because they like left it in the
• 8:17
  hands of the judges. And people do look the exact
• 8:19
  same. They were getting no reps on
• 8:20
  some and they some reps counted. And then I think they were like,
• 8:24
  this is too gimmicky. We're never doing it again on
• 8:27
  something like that. I don't think that's a bad
• 8:29
  movement, but it should just be rings touch the shoulders and
• 8:33
  then arms are locked or body's locked in a line.
• 8:35
  It doesn't matter how you get there and then you're good to
• 8:39
  go. I.
• 8:41
  Like that? Yeah, I yeah.
• 8:43
  I mean, I don't disagree that if they do it again, that should be
• 8:48
  the standard. But I don't think they have none
• 8:50
  of it, again because of there was such a inconsistency with
• 8:55
  it. Yeah, but it'll also be like
• 8:56
  doing a push up. Like you could just say, hey,
• 8:58
  push ups, you need to keep your chest to the ground, straight
• 9:00
  arm to the top. You need to keep your body
• 9:01
  locked like straight line. Like there's, I don't know,
• 9:06
  maybe I. End with your body locked like
• 9:09
  that's you know what I mean? You don't have to have it locked
• 9:11
  the whole time, you just have to be locked because.
• 9:16
  You're going to warm those push ups eventually.
• 9:19
  Do everybody's warming the handstand push ups?
• 9:20
  I'm telling you, like everybody, yeah.
• 9:24
  Yeah, if you've ever they're the one of the weirdest movements
• 9:28
  I've ever done is is ringing in some push ups for sure.
• 9:33
  And you end up warming those 100% of the time.
• 9:35
  It it that those also feel like dumb, dumb movement.
• 9:39
  I'm going to move on from viewer comments.
• 9:41
  You find one comment and that was it.
• 9:43
  That was a wrap. Listen, I spent all my time
• 9:47
  prepping for CrossFit confessionals.
• 9:49
  It was a lot of people had a lot of things to confess today with
• 9:53
  that really were very surprising and so I didn't dig into the
• 9:57
  comments all too much. Maybe some of these comments are
• 10:00
  good. 3 minutes up. Thank you Seema for keeping
• 10:04
  track. Also travesty.
• 10:07
  Oh man, OK, done with that conversation.
• 10:12
  What's bad is I feel like I drew that conversation out longer
• 10:14
  than you're like, hey, 3 minutes, guys.
• 10:17
  Shut up in Scrabble 9:00 AM tomorrow.
• 10:18
  Go watch that if you want to. I don't know how they're going
• 10:22
  to block Bryson while he's actually on the screen.
• 10:25
  It's going to be difficult. I'd like to give you a wrench
• 10:27
  just to see, but the problem is I don't know where Spin hides
• 10:30
  the wrenches. And Caleb?
• 10:33
  You don't know where the wrenches are.
• 10:34
  I don't know where they hide them.
• 10:36
  They're really hard to find. If you don't know where they
• 10:39
  are, I don't. It is, I'm supposed to tell.
• 10:40
  You very difficult to find the wrenches.
• 10:43
  I well. We haven't added or subtracted
• 10:46
  from our wrench population in a very long time.
• 10:49
  That's clean laundry behind me except for this thing is really
• 10:53
  stinky. That dog the only dirt on that
• 10:56
  chair I how how is it people get wrenches cause standy has a
• 11:02
  wrench now and can somebody in the The Who has a wrench give
• 11:08
  out wrenches? No.
• 11:10
  No, you have to be an administrator.
• 11:12
  All right, you want to move on to our workout.
• 11:14
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now I think can you play this at
• 11:18
  like 2 times speed? I can, yeah.
• 11:21
  That way we're not just sitting. Here, did you guys time cap
• 11:24
  yourselves? Both of us sitting around.
• 11:26
  So yes. So, Bryson, I would like to
• 11:29
  caveat mine. Not not you're.
• 11:31
  You're going to be blown away by my lunges.
• 11:33
  They're beautiful. But.
• 11:35
  I would think that of you. I would expect your lunges to be
• 11:37
  good. Yeah, OK, this is good.
• 11:40
  So I knew Tyler's score before we did this cause Tyler
• 11:43
  literally did one round and that was it.
• 11:46
  That's not true. And so like I beat that in like
• 11:49
  5 minutes and then I'm like, dude, this workout sucks.
• 11:53
  And then I, I like really I was helping people in the middle of
• 11:57
  it because 3:30 to 4:30 class was transitioning.
• 12:02
  It was. I was very not in this workout.
• 12:07
  Now, I don't think I would have finished it, but I think I would
• 12:10
  have been really, really, really close to finishing it.
• 12:12
  See, I didn't think this workout sucked at all.
• 12:14
  I thought this was the only one that was like enjoyable.
• 12:17
  Like even while you're doing it, I was like, oh, this is just
• 12:20
  this. It's like how hard it is to hold
• 12:23
  the dumbbells overhead. And when you get to the point
• 12:24
  where you can't eat more, you just put them down for a second.
• 12:26
  And then, so look here you see. Me, I'm about to like I'm
• 12:30
  waiting for you to walk out of the screen.
• 12:32
  A new person showed up and this is open gym right now, but I'm
• 12:36
  running open gym and like open gym.
• 12:38
  Everybody just does their work. They don't work out.
• 12:41
  I can't believe we're playing. This as a new person.
• 12:44
  Yeah, like a new a new person. Yeah.
• 12:47
  And like I. I would be mad at you if you
• 12:48
  didn't. Go confront.
• 12:49
  I had to go over and be like, hey, this is open gym.
• 12:52
  Regular class is at 4:30. If you just kind of want to hang
• 12:56
  around, that's cool. But how about you going fuck off
• 12:59
  trying to work out? No.
• 13:01
  And so I spent like 2 minutes in the middle of this just talking
• 13:05
  to this guy and then I continue on with my work because the
• 13:08
  whole thing, I'm just trying to beat Tyler here and I knew he
• 13:10
  couldn't do this workout. Damn, dropping the dumbbells
• 13:14
  from overhead like that. That was pretty.
• 13:16
  Fucked up. Oh.
• 13:17
  You ain't seen shit. Dude Tyler I straight up he does
• 13:22
  like a 4322 on the last 10 or. So I cannot tell you how
• 13:28
  difficult these were for me. You're already on the GHD
• 13:32
  startups. No, dude, and I'm, I promise
• 13:34
  you, like I'm going so slow. Like 'cause it this isn't.
• 13:37
  A. You break the GHDS.
• 13:39
  Oh yeah, this isn't, this isn't a breath of workout, Bryson.
• 13:43
  We're we're taking our time the whole time.
• 13:45
  Dude, I I finished one of my round of lunges and Andy and you
• 13:49
  know, some other people for the gym where they were watching us
• 13:52
  and I was it was getting deep in the workout and I like front
• 13:55
  racked him and then kind of dropped him on the floor and I
• 13:58
  like looked over in Andy's direction.
• 14:00
  I was. Going to I'm walking all the way
• 14:01
  now I'm talking to this guy and I mean it's.
• 14:04
  A guy I got a chance I can catch.
• 14:06
  Up it's a it's a minute, man. Like it's, it's, I don't come
• 14:08
  back to these dumbbells for a minute, like.
• 14:12
  Did Andy scream at you, Bryson? No, he didn't.
• 14:14
  He didn't even, he didn't even care.
• 14:16
  Like when we're doing stuff like that, he doesn't care.
• 14:20
  But I mean, if I did that in just like a random day, he'd
• 14:22
  definitely say something. But if he looked at me when I
• 14:25
  did it, I was going to apologize to him mid workouts.
• 14:27
  I was like, sorry. But so even though Tom took two
• 14:31
  large breaks, I we're we're now matched where we are and I
• 14:36
  needed every bit of the rest that I took.
• 14:39
  Well, so I love workouts like these there.
• 14:44
  You have to be literally one of the fittest people in the world
• 14:46
  to make it fitness. And then for everybody else,
• 14:50
  it's like just your ability to do the movement.
• 14:52
  It's such a hard movement to do and I typically do well and I
• 15:00
  gotta go talk to this guy again. I, I, I, I typically, I
• 15:04
  typically do well in workouts like that relative to people who
• 15:07
  are my same fitness just 'cause I can, I can do everything.
• 15:11
  I'm just, you know, not fit, but I don't have to use my lungs
• 15:14
  much here in this workout. What happened I?
• 15:19
  Didn't. Yeah.
• 15:19
  I've never done dual dumbbells overhead lunges with 70s before.
• 15:24
  I was going through workout man. I I'm struggling.
• 15:27
  Are you laughing at me? Caleb Yeah, dude, I'm sorry.
• 15:34
  And so either implosion, you're just, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go
• 15:37
  ahead and say like, 'cause when you get through 10, like you're
• 15:40
  doing it without any breaks. Yeah, I think like the 1:50 goes
• 15:46
  so fast. I I think I'd be around like 6
• 15:51
  or 4 like if I, if I took this like super super like I'm like
• 15:55
  this is my best effort. Like when the time expired.
• 15:59
  You mean Yeah, yes, yeah. I'd be time Captain round round
• 16:01
  6 or 4. So you did finish.
• 16:06
  Bryson did I I didn't finish. Yeah, I was like 1741.
• 16:10
  Yeah, I swear I'm not touching anything.
• 16:12
  Why is it doing that? I think I could have.
• 16:16
  This is obviously like, you know, it's easy to say, oh, I
• 16:20
  could have worked on anything and done better, but this is
• 16:23
  something that I wish I would have.
• 16:25
  I know I don't overhead lunge enough, but it's just because I
• 16:29
  don't like to do it, which is my own fault.
• 16:32
  But I've never done it was 70s before.
• 16:33
  So I was kind of just like figuring it out as the workout
• 16:36
  went and I started to feel and the reps descend, but I was
• 16:39
  starting to feel like better and better as it went.
• 16:42
  And I was like, OK, even when it does start to hurt and feel like
• 16:46
  you're going to fail, you still have a couple more steps.
• 16:48
  I was like figuring that out as the workout went along.
• 16:51
  Did. You see me just lose my.
• 16:53
  Shit. Hey Judy, the only reason
• 16:55
  anybody's watching this right now is because of muscle mommy
• 16:58
  running up and down the fucking. That's probably fair.
• 17:02
  She's going to, I'm going to tell her to read these comments.
• 17:04
  She's she's going to love this. She's been running a long time.
• 17:09
  She's freaking going, dude. What round is Tyler in?
• 17:14
  I'm still in the 18 or what? What did it start with 20?
• 17:16
  I'm in the 18. Oh my God.
• 17:19
  Oh, you're mad, Jesus. You're so mad.
• 17:26
  I kept getting in the bottom of the lunge and then coming out in
• 17:30
  my arms would just deflate and I was like what what the fuck am I
• 17:33
  supposed to do? There you go.
• 17:36
  See. Told you.
• 17:39
  Jesus dude. And then I have to just sit here
• 17:41
  and look at these stupid freaking dumbbells the whole
• 17:43
  time. That's so sad dude, just
• 17:46
  demoralizing. Dude, we're, we're, we're doing
• 17:48
  this hard workout. Everybody, all that's anybody,
• 17:50
  anybody can talk about. Why does it even?
• 17:52
  Why? Look at working out.
• 17:53
  Nobody cares. That's, that's fair, Taylor,
• 17:56
  you, you try to work out. I'm not going to put it on the
• 17:59
  Internet because I suck too. Yeah, that's fair.
• 18:01
  That's fair. It's not.
• 18:02
  It's not Summer Taylor. The dumbbells hurt me, that's
• 18:07
  what. It is Candace.
• 18:10
  Candace Nuts been in your mouth? That was to reach a little.
• 18:15
  Yeah, I was. I.
• 18:19
  Was so happy it's a family show, OK?
• 18:21
  When I got on. That you shouldn't have invited.
• 18:23
  Me y'all, y'all got it, y'all got to get it, get it together a
• 18:25
  little bit. Bryson's been good.
• 18:26
  Y'all, yeah. I, I, I got.
• 18:28
  I got. You how many rounds is John
• 18:30
  ahead of me at this point? This is my second set of GHG sit
• 18:33
  ups. Is this?
• 18:34
  Your third Just two. Just two rounds I was.
• 18:42
  I really wanted to get through the 16 just so that I could like
• 18:48
  because after that point it starts to get way easier every
• 18:51
  single round. I'm so fat I can't wait till
• 18:58
  like what? Are you going to do you going to
• 19:00
  cut? Huh.
• 19:02
  I've never even seen ABS like that and you're saying you're
• 19:05
  fat? Dude I'm going to go on a mean
• 19:08
  like cycling month and it what? Are you going to do?
• 19:11
  Diana Ball, you going? To start 24 hour fasting or some
• 19:14
  shit. I'm going to do something but I
• 19:17
  got to wait till grid's over. But I don't.
• 19:19
  I don't like being this big. Why not Dave?
• 19:24
  You don't do CrossFit anymore, you might as well get on the
• 19:26
  juice. I understand.
• 19:27
  No, I'm not Tyler. That's that's not no.
• 19:31
  What do you mean? I think that's shit.
• 19:35
  I've only seen one set so. Dirty.
• 19:45
  We got 5 more minutes. I think I'd do one more set of
• 19:47
  GHDS I got to chalk up. You chalked up for these.
• 19:51
  These don't. I needed, I needed some white
• 19:54
  encouragement, man, Some powdered encouragement.
• 19:59
  This is so good. It's OK, I'm I'm almost positive
• 20:04
  my rests are like twice as long as yours.
• 20:07
  I just do. More.
• 20:09
  Than 10 at a time. Yeah.
• 20:12
  I mean, if you're not doing that much work, you don't need to
• 20:14
  break that long. I think it was here I started to
• 20:17
  realize I, I don't know if you, you guys recognize with this at
• 20:21
  all, but there are, there are times where I'm like, I focus on
• 20:25
  one like body part and then I start to move better.
• 20:28
  So it's like put your, your head in your hands. 3 minutes of GH
• 20:34
  GS, then 70 minutes of lunch. Yeah.
• 20:36
  Basically, once I started to focus on what my yeah, once I
• 20:41
  started to think like what are my hands doing, then it started
• 20:44
  to get easier. Stop thinking about the rest of
• 20:47
  it. Yeah, they're just focused
• 20:50
  somewhat like making sure my arm.
• 20:52
  Like like this point right here. Specials, John.
• 20:56
  Maybe this, this point right here, I'm like, I don't need to
• 21:00
  do more. Like I'm just like, I was so
• 21:05
  unmotivated to go hard on this workout.
• 21:09
  This was the the one like the first one, I was like, oh, at
• 21:12
  least I can like really try on this workout.
• 21:14
  I can do decent. This one I was like, I feel like
• 21:17
  an idiot. All right, here we go, GHCS.
• 21:24
  I'm sitting on the back of that pretty.
• 21:25
  Close man. Close counts, dude.
• 21:29
  I can't see your fucking ass cheeks.
• 21:30
  You should be able to see your ass.
• 21:31
  Cheeks. Well, well, by Sevon standard,
• 21:33
  it's belly button to the bottom of the cleft of your butt
• 21:36
  cheeks, so it's. Fine.
• 21:37
  Oh then I'm I'm fucking straight dude.
• 21:39
  Yeah, I don't know. I think I'm fine.
• 21:43
  I'd watch me watch me, Justin Medeiros these last.
• 21:46
  GHDS last set. Oh yeah.
• 21:51
  What number are you on? Here you get to GHDS.
• 21:54
  Yeah. Broke.
• 21:58
  You out of the. Way you didn't run the entire
• 22:00
  workout. Wait.
• 22:03
  I'm just going long. I'm going.
• 22:08
  To get some Jay Cheese dude, I went off my clock.
• 22:11
  My clock. Was it your fucking internal
• 22:13
  clock? No I no, I told Henry to tell me
• 22:16
  when. That's funny though, I did get 2
• 22:18
  Jay Cheese. I know he fucked up.
• 22:21
  How did you do, Bryson? What?
• 22:23
  What'd you get? I owe 1741 or maybe 1742.
• 22:27
  Was this one of your better ones?
• 22:29
  No, my best one was the back spot muscle up 1.
• 22:37
  Speaking of which. My best one, My best one is
• 22:39
  Isabel. Your potential backfill for
• 22:42
  Syndicate. I don't think so, I'm like 7
• 22:46
  spots out of eligible people for syndicate.
• 22:50
  Well, I know too that will not be there.
• 22:54
  I think. Well, I we know a couple that
• 22:57
  won't be there, but we've already factored them all out
• 22:59
  because we were, we did all the math to see if Grant Griffin was
• 23:03
  going to make it and he's going to be a couple spots in it looks
• 23:05
  like. So now Mason Griffin and Grant
• 23:08
  Griffin are both going to be there.
• 23:10
  Relation or they have any relation.
• 23:12
  They're brothers, Yeah. Handsome, handsome Mason from
• 23:16
  Kill Taylor and his brother. Wow.
• 23:19
  All right, the moment everybody's been waiting for.
• 23:24
  The moment John's been waiting for.
• 23:26
  Ridiculously. Put a lot of thought into this
• 23:28
  man. Is.
• 23:29
  I hope you put more thought in this one than you did the last
• 23:32
  one, because I watched that this morning and I was appalled.
• 23:36
  The. Games.
• 23:37
  We watched The Last Mountain this morning to prepare.
• 23:40
  Yeah, I did. I was driving a lot today, OK.
• 23:43
  And so I spent a lot of, I spent some time preparing.
• 23:47
  All right, John, Hold. On hold on, hold on.
• 23:49
  I want to. We got to get in zone.
• 23:51
  No, what a stupid fucking comment.
• 23:57
  All right, John, what does this mean?
• 23:59
  I'm not going to say it was stupid, but no, I will not be.
• 24:01
  It's fucking this is what's this Michael Scott ass looking
• 24:04
  picture? Here this is this is this is
• 24:07
  this mountain's version of base camp.
• 24:09
  OK, these are these are people who have we thought you were
• 24:13
  good and then and now you're like, not good.
• 24:16
  What's going on, man? You know we don't.
• 24:18
  Can you be trusted? All right.
• 24:21
  So this is like you could be on the mountain at some point, but
• 24:24
  not right now. Yeah, Yep.
• 24:26
  You're you're shaky on the mountain.
• 24:28
  You're a little green. I'm a little green.
• 24:31
  Still got to chromatize altitude sickness a little bit.
• 24:35
  What was the thought going into making this mountain set me up?
• 24:40
  What do you mean? What is the thought?
• 24:42
  Well, you just did a mountain. And Tyler doesn't understand the
• 24:45
  mountain, so he needs to like. No.
• 24:47
  One understand is confused. Equally as confused about the
• 24:50
  mountain, I'm not. Confused.
• 24:51
  I fucking get it. I'm.
• 24:52
  By him, we're only halfway. It's it's, it's, it's a, it's a
• 24:57
  forging of what is going to happen at the games in 2025.
• 25:03
  But now where you are placed on the mountain, it's not a power
• 25:07
  ranking. Where you are placed on it has
• 25:10
  to do with history. But it's not.
• 25:12
  It's like 20% history. It's like 50% of who has done
• 25:19
  the best this year. And then it's got 30% on vibes
• 25:26
  or what I what? And when I say vibes, I mean
• 25:28
  what I think, what I think is going to happen.
• 25:31
  Usually it's. Like who's informed?
• 25:33
  No, usually. Usually when I have an inkling
• 25:36
  something is going to happen, typically I'm right about it.
• 25:39
  I'm not. Not every time, but a lot of
• 25:41
  times I'm right when I haven't a feeling something's going to
• 25:44
  happen. Did you guys ever, have you, any
• 25:46
  of you guys ever played FIFA? Yeah, no.
• 25:49
  It's like the team of the week but the the time domain is a lot
• 25:52
  bigger than the week. If anyone in the comments played
• 25:56
  FIFA and doesn't understand PIF or doesn't understand the
• 25:58
  mountain, thank you. That'll explain that
• 26:00
  explanation. I just.
• 26:02
  Heard the Europeans out there that are going to understand the
• 26:04
  mountain now. I just met John.
• 26:06
  We're only halfway through semifinals, not even halfway
• 26:08
  through semifinals, and you're wanting to redo the mountain
• 26:12
  already? Yeah.
• 26:13
  Well, I wanted to do the mountain before Tia retired
• 26:16
  because I thought that she was going to retire and I did not
• 26:21
  have her at the top. And then Spin refused and I
• 26:25
  didn't get to have that moment, but that's OK.
• 26:28
  Got it. Next up, can you be trusted,
• 26:32
  John? Go.
• 26:34
  All right, I think Tudor Magda's pretty self-explanatory.
• 26:38
  He's amazing online. He's never done anything in
• 26:41
  person. He's one of the best at double
• 26:43
  unders and he can't do 50 singles in a row like he's Tudor
• 26:47
  has so many like gifts or like he's got Trix is the wrong word,
• 26:54
  but he's very, very good in a lot of different areas.
• 26:58
  Home run ability and either he sketches up his reps or he just
• 27:05
  execution air. Something always kind of happens
• 27:08
  to Tudor. I think people have talked about
• 27:11
  Tudor for a long time and he's never really shown what people
• 27:16
  think he can be. Enrico Zanoni came out of
• 27:21
  nowhere. Nobody knows Nobody.
• 27:23
  Nobody had him picked for the top 11 in the men and he did it.
• 27:27
  He has been to the games before. He had a couple home run events
• 27:30
  and everything else. He was kind of trash.
• 27:33
  So he's can he, can we trust that he's actually this fit?
• 27:37
  We will see at the games. I'm going to bet no, but that's
• 27:42
  why he's here and he's not on the mountain.
• 27:44
  Yonakowski. I mean, are you gonna make the
• 27:47
  games again, man? He missed it last year.
• 27:51
  He is in the front row seat of missing it this year, right?
• 27:55
  And just barely, you know, he barely missed it at Wildland and
• 28:00
  he's barely missed it on the online thing.
• 28:03
  Now he's got World Fitness Project.
• 28:04
  He's not doing French throw down Yoda.
• 28:06
  Koski's last bet is either Norcal gives up an invite or
• 28:12
  last chance qualifier. Am I wrong on that?
• 28:15
  No, yeah, you're right. Bill Leahy, I think everybody
• 28:20
  understands why he's here, except for Andrew and maybe
• 28:25
  Bill. But I think Bill there, there he
• 28:27
  is there. I didn't even see that comment.
• 28:29
  And I said that I think even Bill would understand why he's
• 28:34
  here. And honestly, it's a compliment
• 28:37
  because what Bryson said is correct.
• 28:39
  These are people that could be on the mountain, but we can't
• 28:42
  trust them to be there quite yet.
• 28:44
  And I'm not going to give Bill unearned flowers.
• 28:48
  And he's he's a guy that we think has a lot of potential
• 28:52
  that has not really came through in the big moments when they
• 28:56
  matter the most. Annika Greer first time making
• 29:02
  the games. I don't want to rain on her
• 29:04
  parade. I am not going to put Annika
• 29:05
  Greer on the mountain one 'cause she can't run to the base of the
• 29:09
  mountain. OK, so I'm happy for her.
• 29:13
  I can't believe you she's on even on this list.
• 29:15
  I just know well dude if again and I don't.
• 29:20
  This the vibes part you're talking about?
• 29:22
  Me and Jr. Me and Jr. talked about this
• 29:24
  like she is a little like Tudor Magda.
• 29:27
  She has home run ability in a couple different things where
• 29:31
  she will make noise at the games.
• 29:33
  There's going to be a couple events at the games where she
• 29:35
  makes noise, but but I don't think she's all around that fit
• 29:43
  because she's so bad at one of the most important things to be
• 29:48
  good at in the world of fitness, and that is aerobic capacity.
• 29:52
  But John, they ran shovel runs. That's cool, Tyler.
• 29:56
  On to Miriam von Rohr, online queen, online queen.
• 30:01
  You know, you win the open, you win quarterfinals and then you
• 30:04
  win the open again. I this and now semi finals is on
• 30:09
  line. This is what you do, girl.
• 30:12
  This is the way to get to the games for you and you still
• 30:16
  can't do it. Like if she wins the Open a
• 30:20
  third time, I don't really want to talk about her because she's
• 30:24
  proven that all she is is an open athlete.
• 30:27
  And I hate that we have open athletes.
• 30:30
  I hate that with a passion. Should be the same people
• 30:33
  winning the open who win. 100%. Semi finals.
• 30:36
  But if the Open is going to be how it's going to be and mirror
• 30:39
  him is the best of those workouts, I don't care.
• 30:41
  She's not making the games until she makes it.
• 30:44
  I don't want to talk about her until she makes it.
• 30:46
  Same with Annika Greer, but Annika Greer freaking made it so
• 30:49
  we have to give her a little flowers.
• 30:51
  And hey, this is the thing too. I don't know if you agree with
• 30:54
  this John, but I'm maybe projecting this onto you.
• 30:58
  I think that when everyone was complaining about the team
• 31:01
  workouts, having, running, whatever, sending people to the
• 31:04
  games you need to test running. And if they had just had the
• 31:06
  balls to do that in the individual semi finals and
• 31:08
  Annika Greer was in the same spot that she was now, I think
• 31:11
  that she'd be on the mountain. I'd agree if.
• 31:15
  They workout 5 was 800 meter run instead of 1000m row and she's
• 31:19
  in fifth still mountain. She'd be on the bottom row of
• 31:22
  the mountain. You're absolutely right.
• 31:23
  You're not projecting at all. You're right.
• 31:26
  I know this mountain dude. Well, wait, wait till we get
• 31:30
  wait till we get off Brooke Wells.
• 31:36
  You can't be a eight time CrossFit games athlete and not
• 31:40
  know how to burpees, especially you're freaking online and you
• 31:44
  know you're going to be judged. Did you make?
• 31:46
  No. Did you make everybody or the?
• 31:48
  Burpees or after the burpees? Yes, I did it after the burpees
• 31:52
  after the online semi finals. So why is she still on this
• 31:55
  list? Because you can't be an 8 time
• 31:59
  CrossFit games athlete and and I don't know if she's 8 * 7 times
• 32:03
  doesn't work perennial CrossFit games athlete and not know how
• 32:07
  to do burpees. That's on an online standard.
• 32:10
  So I would argue you can't trust.
• 32:11
  I can't trust you. No, no, I know why.
• 32:14
  Is she like she shouldn't even be at base camp?
• 32:16
  I'll tell you why she wouldn't. If her burpees looked great,
• 32:20
  she'd probably be on the 4th row.
• 32:21
  She's. Notorious for moving like shit,
• 32:23
  right? OK, you can say she's notorious
• 32:26
  for that. If she makes the games, which I
• 32:28
  think she's going to get a penalty and she's going to have
• 32:30
  to go to syndicate and it's not a given that she's going to make
• 32:33
  the games. If she makes the games, she's in
• 32:36
  the running to be top 10 fittest women in the world.
• 32:40
  I'm not going to take her off of everything because of that.
• 32:43
  But you should know how to do freaking burpees, especially
• 32:46
  when you see Hiller's burpee post.
• 32:49
  I thought that was very telling. All of the other nine girls or
• 32:53
  10 girls, like our chest, elbows up high, she's the only one that
• 32:58
  doesn't look like that. And that's on her.
• 33:01
  That's on her camp. I don't care about the drama.
• 33:04
  I don't care about who's Instagramming who.
• 33:06
  I don't care about Torres saying all the athletes are under
• 33:10
  pressure. Don't let people get to you.
• 33:11
  I promise you, Matt Torres, I've had more mean things said about
• 33:15
  me than any one of these athletes ever, OK?
• 33:18
  I don't care about any of that. You should be able to do burpees
• 33:23
  correctly. My burpees would look better
• 33:25
  than Brooke Wells and that's saying a lot.
• 33:28
  John will get more reps and bigger than Brooke Wells anyway,
• 33:31
  and if you're one of these dumb motherfuckers that thinks that
• 33:35
  your rib cage is your chest, then you should be fine with
• 33:38
  these athletes just laying down on their back and standing back
• 33:40
  up for burpees. See, I'll disagree totally.
• 33:43
  That's their rib cage. I think she knows exactly how to
• 33:46
  do burpees 'cause she try. You have to try not to do them.
• 33:50
  If you're doing the the way she did them, you're actively.
• 33:54
  Staying away from the burpees. Then leave Ortega.
• 33:59
  Bye. I care about you, John.
• 34:01
  That's why I want you to move well.
• 34:05
  I didn't hear, and I will say this, I like, I think Taylor and
• 34:10
  Bryson are so anal about movement.
• 34:13
  It's ridiculous sometimes and I don't like it and we disagree a
• 34:17
  lot when it comes to this. So when we are both in
• 34:22
  agreeance, that means you are really, really wrong.
• 34:27
  Is that fair? That was a lot.
• 34:30
  Yeah, I would say that it's only being anal when it comes to
• 34:35
  points of performance, but it's not being anal when it comes to
• 34:39
  standards, because that's how you test people.
• 34:43
  We're literally comparing things.
• 34:45
  It's supposed to be everyone's. You guys are much stricter than
• 34:48
  I am when it comes to that stuff, but.
• 34:50
  It's not a strict thing, it's a yes or no thing.
• 34:53
  It's binary Rep or no Rep. OK.
• 34:56
  I'm saying I would say yes more often than you guys would.
• 34:59
  Yeah, pull up Maris's comments. Yeah, I want to see.
• 35:04
  You're just because I'm real. If someone's yes, you did not.
• 35:07
  If someone's score comes out doing.
• 35:09
  What? How were you as?
• 35:10
  Bryson. Together.
• 35:11
  It was their judge, you know, the reps were fucking good.
• 35:14
  Oh. God you're an asshole.
• 35:15
  You're the worst. Dude.
• 35:16
  I'm no Rep marriage. Over 30 chest of bar pull ups
• 35:19
  and I told her she started crying and I said it's chest of
• 35:23
  bar not chest close to bar you got to touch.
• 35:25
  Oh. Dude, hey no, that's a that's an
• 35:28
  easy 1 though I think I would no Rep the same thing I if you.
• 35:31
  Just don't say anything. You just.
• 35:32
  No, no. No. 30 Touch the bar.
• 35:37
  I would say, hey girl, let's. Just.
• 35:39
  Stop and do the workout again another day because it's not
• 35:42
  happening right now. I'm just wait, dude.
• 35:45
  And she doesn't any other way. She wouldn't want it any other
• 35:47
  way. I let her get away with that
• 35:49
  shit. She would be embarrassed.
• 35:50
  We got we got to move on. We got to move on.
• 35:52
  I'm sorry that you had to go through that mass.
• 35:55
  Paige Samenza, you want people to talk about you more.
• 35:59
  You cannot get owned by Dejuan Young in a online CrossFit semi
• 36:04
  final competition. If Dejuan, no offense to my girl
• 36:08
  Dejuan, but if you get beat by her, you don't need, you don't
• 36:14
  need to be talked about. I was going to say, are we
• 36:16
  talking about her? Because we feel bad that she got
• 36:18
  on it. She yelled at everybody for
• 36:19
  saying that nobody talks about her.
• 36:21
  I don't think she'll do that. I don't think she yelled at
• 36:24
  anybody. I actually think she said it
• 36:25
  very like Coy, but that's why. All right.
• 36:31
  Yawn. I just I I have a a clarifying
• 36:35
  can you be trusted? So this isn't Basecamp.
• 36:38
  I'm not going to watch my town, Glee.
• 36:44
  What? This is not Basecamp.
• 36:46
  This is not I, I just wonder why you're talking.
• 36:49
  About this version of Basecamp. So are you saying they could end
• 36:53
  up on the mountain? Yes.
• 36:55
  That's mild. You're fucking crazy bro.
• 36:58
  We covered this like 5 minutes ago bro yeah.
• 37:00
  Mountain is, but these people ain't on it and they're not
• 37:03
  closed. Yonokosi's been on it for a
• 37:05
  very, very long time. Until now.
• 37:08
  Yeah. All right.
• 37:09
  All right, games. Mountain, the mountain.
• 37:11
  Starting at the bottom. Starting at the bottom.
• 37:14
  All right, Level 1. Who wanted to start at the top
• 37:18
  one time? Was that spin?
• 37:19
  That was spin was worse. Once once you hit the he.
• 37:21
  Was every time. He was so like, yeah, it's just
• 37:24
  'cause Tia was there, but he was so like hell bent on it that I'm
• 37:29
  like, nobody cared. Like if we're gonna stay at the
• 37:32
  top 2 rows and then everybody's gonna be.
• 37:35
  Gone. Start at the top and then we'll
• 37:36
  go to the bottom and work our way in the middle.
• 37:38
  Bottom of the row we got Harry Lightfoot.
• 37:42
  Harry. Sam Quad, Chris Ibarra, Ricky
• 37:47
  Gerard. I know that's going to surprise
• 37:48
  a lot of people. Colin Bosshard, Amy Kringle and
• 37:52
  Surya, Surya Miha and I, I didn't know what to do with
• 38:01
  Surya Miha. But if you get second in the
• 38:03
  world, when all of the best in the world are trying to do their
• 38:07
  best and very hard workouts. I mean, I think the programming
• 38:11
  was very well done. I agree.
• 38:14
  I wish there was. I wish there was running, but
• 38:16
  other than that, I think it was very well done.
• 38:19
  Tyler, if you haven't done that Burbie workout, it is a monster.
• 38:24
  Honestly, I watched what's his face?
• 38:27
  The oh the British, the British kid, young kid.
• 38:32
  I watched him do it and I honestly got scared to do it.
• 38:35
  Like it looks like it hurts really bad.
• 38:37
  Dude, it does. Tom-tom Kingdon.
• 38:41
  I watched him do it and I was like, yeah, this looks.
• 38:43
  Like I went as hard as I could the very first round and I got
• 38:46
  14 and then I just kind of walked all the shuttles after
• 38:50
  that and just did the cleaning jerks and I did 00 on burpees,
• 38:54
  but did all the buy in. I did 0000 and then I did 12 in
• 38:58
  the last round and that was that was that was that I was hurting.
• 39:02
  So you know the workout's over if you don't get one burpee.
• 39:05
  I did the whole buy in, that's what it said to do.
• 39:07
  No, it's one burpee. You have to get one.
• 39:09
  Burpee Well, I had time. We can count 1 on all of them,
• 39:11
  but. See, this is the standards
• 39:14
  thing. It's a binary yesterday.
• 39:17
  Burpee, or. Not I had time I just didn't
• 39:19
  want did Gerald. Backlight up I I'd imagine my
• 39:23
  back would just be on fire the entire time.
• 39:27
  It was just quads on the cleaning jerks.
• 39:29
  From I just couldn't breathe so. No, the cleaning jerks were all
• 39:33
  muscular for me. That was my limiter.
• 39:35
  Other than other. Than on.
• 39:37
  The only thing I want to talk about in this role, I think it's
• 39:40
  Ricky goes down. I know that workout's really
• 39:44
  hard for him, that workout too, but he had to redo it to barely
• 39:48
  get in. And I want to think about, like
• 39:50
  think about this. What have we seen from Ricky in
• 39:54
  the last year and a half that means he should be higher on
• 39:59
  this mountain? He intimated from Sam Quant.
• 40:02
  I would the only thing I would say I.
• 40:05
  Don't. I don't think that he's in a
• 40:06
  completely wrong spot, John. I would just say because of how
• 40:10
  bad Ricky's overhead is and we know that and he's still in 7th,
• 40:16
  I would maybe put him. On row higher.
• 40:19
  Well, here's here's now when you make these things, you have to
• 40:22
  make decisions. And this was the decision to put
• 40:24
  him on this row because let's go to the next row, right?
• 40:28
  Next row should be higher. And.
• 40:31
  Tyler, go to the next row. So we'll talk about Ricky.
• 40:33
  This is the all girls row and I can't put Ricky in the all girls
• 40:36
  row, right? And so then I would put.
• 40:39
  Because that just like like because that just because.
• 40:42
  No, cause none of these now you're getting none of these
• 40:45
  girls have earned I Caleb listening.
• 40:48
  None of these women, none of these women have earned the
• 40:52
  right to be higher than this. OK, so because they'd have to be
• 40:56
  over people in this, and none of them did.
• 40:58
  And Ricky was the last one. I'm not going to put Ricky over
• 41:01
  the people that I had here and so.
• 41:03
  You're not going to put Ricky over, You're going to put Hayley
• 41:05
  Adams above no. Ricky, it's not Hayley Adams
• 41:08
  over Ricky. I'm not putting Hayley Adams.
• 41:11
  Oh. What's the point of the
• 41:13
  mountain? OK, it's just Ricky's doing.
• 41:16
  Ricky did this. OK, you can't be at the girls
• 41:19
  camp. You just can't.
• 41:21
  Haley. Can't be at the girls camp.
• 41:22
  What the fuck but Amy? Amy can't be at the girls camp,
• 41:26
  dude. Haley and Smeha are with the
• 41:30
  boys. Yeah, I mean, that's the bottom
• 41:33
  row. We just kind of just who's left
• 41:35
  different rules. Yeah.
• 41:37
  Emily drops a row too scared to compete.
• 41:41
  And if you say that's not your reason, then you should compete.
• 41:46
  I don't like when people just skip things just because they
• 41:50
  want to, even though they said they weren't weren't going to.
• 41:53
  I think the fittest experience is going to be really, really
• 41:55
  hard for Emily Rolfe. Her fitness should prove out,
• 41:59
  but it's not a given she's going to get a ticket there.
• 42:03
  And then Norcal, Alex Kazan's doing Norcal.
• 42:05
  It's not a given you're going to beat her.
• 42:07
  And then there's going to be like, I just think it's going to
• 42:09
  be a rough sled for Emily Rolfe. I said this a week ago on
• 42:14
  Pedro's show and everybody gave me crap about it and now we're
• 42:17
  getting down to the last bit and she still doesn't have a ticket.
• 42:24
  Gracie just same, stay same and steady.
• 42:28
  Gracie's doing great and then Gracie's going to keep on being
• 42:30
  great. She doesn't deserve to be
• 42:32
  higher, but she doesn't deserve to be lower.
• 42:34
  Fee was super impressive at Mayhem, so she's probably going
• 42:38
  to be here and stay here until the end until games time.
• 42:43
  Haley and Olivia got their ticket.
• 42:45
  Dude, Olivia's so impressive. Her home run ability might be,
• 42:49
  she might have the best home run ability out of any person in the
• 42:54
  CrossFit space because there's just there is nobody better at a
• 43:02
  barbell. She's got Jeff Adler ability,
• 43:03
  really better than Jeff Adler ability on a barbell because
• 43:06
  nobody's second place isn't close enough that what 2nd place
• 43:10
  would be to Jeff. I just think Olivia can win a
• 43:14
  lot of different workouts and she's sneaky good at gymnastics.
• 43:19
  Stuff that you think would hurt her, She's sneaky good at it.
• 43:22
  Olivia has the ability to climb more than any of the other girls
• 43:27
  on this mountain, but she has to do it to to to climb.
• 43:31
  I'm not going to put her anywhere, that's how she's going
• 43:35
  to muscle up, but if they want to penalize her, they can.
• 43:38
  No, no, hey, I'm not. I'm not against what you're
• 43:40
  saying. She will win first place at TFX
• 43:43
  and it won't be close. Because of the programming.
• 43:48
  Yes, yes, because of the, but I'm just telling you that's
• 43:52
  what's going to happen. This is actually a good comment
• 43:54
  to pull up because again, we haven't seen what's above and
• 43:57
  that's could be affecting it. But I was going to say, you
• 44:00
  don't even have to drop anyone to move Ricky up, but I think
• 44:02
  you can move Gracie up to move Ricky up.
• 44:04
  Well, I I like the idea of having an all girls row and I
• 44:07
  didn't and I wanted that. Oh.
• 44:10
  My. God, this.
• 44:11
  OK, I don't. I'm not.
• 44:12
  I'm not going to put Gracie over Alex.
• 44:14
  I'm not going to put Gracie over Danielle.
• 44:18
  And yeah, that's where she's going to be.
• 44:20
  I do think Gracie has the ability to move up.
• 44:23
  Not as much as Olivia but she would be my second pick as far
• 44:25
  as who could move up. Dude.
• 44:28
  These muscle ups are so bad holy fuck I'm watching them right
• 44:30
  now. So so far, how are we feeling on
• 44:35
  A1 to tail 10 scale Bryson? Yep.
• 44:41
  I would say. Yes.
• 44:43
  I would say I thought you're about to ask me something again.
• 44:47
  After that I would say 9 out of 10 maybe.
• 44:50
  Nine. There we go.
• 44:52
  I'm just I'm a little I feel like you can maybe switch Maddie
• 44:56
  shirt and Ricky. I think you could even switch
• 44:59
  curse stutter and Ricky because I I get the whole she has the
• 45:02
  home run ability thing, but she's just also still really bad
• 45:06
  at some stuff and can't do muscle UPS.
• 45:09
  So. Caleb.
• 45:11
  I'm not like a four. The whole vibes thing is just
• 45:13
  fucking me up. I don't not really like a go by
• 45:17
  vibe. Well so dude, an explosive
• 45:19
  before today, so let's just move on.
• 45:21
  From Next Bro explosives aren't really a vibe thing.
• 45:24
  They're not a vibe, dude. They are.
• 45:26
  They are not. I'm going to, I'm going to hurt
• 45:30
  you so hard here in a second. When we get to the end of this
• 45:32
  row using your own arguments go OK.
• 45:38
  You can never hurt me harder than you did with the McDonald's
• 45:41
  comment. That shit was funny as fuck.
• 45:44
  I this world, we got Jay Crouch, Abby Dolman, Justin Medeiros,
• 45:50
  Roman Kronikoff and Alex Kazan. Everybody's got their ticket
• 45:53
  except Alex. We all know I like Alex.
• 45:56
  We think, I think she has more potential than any other person
• 46:00
  on the mountain. Now, her ability to reach that
• 46:04
  potential is different than it like on Austin Hatfield.
• 46:09
  I, I, I knew Austin was going to get a lot better.
• 46:13
  I don't know that about Alex. I think she can.
• 46:16
  But we know that she can. But I don't know like how.
• 46:19
  That she will. Right.
• 46:20
  I don't know that she will. It's there, but I don't know
• 46:23
  that she will. I knew Austin was going to do it
• 46:25
  quickly, I think. I mean, this row, you could
• 46:29
  argue I kind of wanted to put Jay Crouch higher than this, but
• 46:34
  I just couldn't. I couldn't do it 'cause you guys
• 46:37
  will see what the next row brings.
• 46:38
  I think everybody will agree with me.
• 46:40
  Maybe not. I know, I know.
• 46:42
  There's. A vibe with this row.
• 46:43
  I'll tell you that. We're going to go off vibes with
• 46:45
  this one. It's five and hard.
• 46:47
  Justin's done nothing fancy, but he hasn't done nothing unfancy
• 46:52
  unfancy either. You know what I mean?
• 46:54
  I this is where he should be on the row.
• 46:55
  I think there are like like five guys better than him and that's,
• 47:00
  you know, he's the 7th best person in the world, 6th best
• 47:02
  person, best person in the. World, he won the GHD workout
• 47:05
  with GHDS that were not to standard.
• 47:08
  That's pretty fancy. Yeah, Abby was super, super
• 47:12
  impressive. Still has holes.
• 47:14
  I'm not going to go crazy on her, but very impressive at
• 47:18
  Mayhem. And I mean, Roman, I think
• 47:22
  Roman's back man, he was third place it Mayhem and then
• 47:25
  Wadland, he kind of won pretty easily.
• 47:27
  I think it's going to be the Roman of old.
• 47:28
  It's just our people better than that.
• 47:31
  I think it's it is the Roman of old, but everyone else got
• 47:33
  better. All right, all right, next.
• 47:36
  No, no, no, no. Hold on a minute.
• 47:39
  All right, so. Semi finals.
• 47:42
  She skipped everything John and I'll quote from Rolf.
• 47:46
  You can't just skip stuff and me think anything of you.
• 47:50
  Which is why are you talking about, Which is why a certain
• 47:55
  girl is ahead of her. I've had her on the same row as
• 48:01
  one other girl or two other girls, two other girls.
• 48:04
  I've had her on the same row as those girls every single
• 48:07
  mountain rendition because I think they're in the same tier
• 48:11
  and she dropped a row because she skipped everything just but.
• 48:15
  She's still higher than Emily, who's done all the competitions.
• 48:19
  I think Alex Kazan is better than Emily Rolfe at the cross to
• 48:25
  the games. I think she's better.
• 48:26
  I put Alex in a tier above Emily Rolfe.
• 48:28
  Do you know why? Because there will always be.
• 48:32
  There wasn't last year, but every year except last year.
• 48:35
  There will always be two to three workouts where Emily gets
• 48:39
  in the 25th or lower. So far I feel like a 2 Ricky
• 48:43
  should be with Medeiros. On top of that, Alex is not a
• 48:46
  good swimmer. There's no swimming next year.
• 48:50
  Gracie should also be on the row above and then I'll leave the
• 48:55
  rest alone next row. We got Alexis Raptis, Lucy
• 49:00
  Campbell, Danielle Brandon and Ariel Lowen and these four
• 49:05
  women. Yeah, you saw me.
• 49:08
  I think the podium will be of these four women.
• 49:14
  What? All right.
• 49:17
  Are you right, Caleb? You're right.
• 49:18
  You're right. What?
• 49:19
  Here? You tell me who's going to be on
• 49:21
  the podium. Go ahead.
• 49:22
  Say it. Fuck dude, I don't know, but at
• 49:24
  least two of those people I don't think are going to make
• 49:26
  it. Who?
• 49:27
  Probably Lucy Campbell and Danielle Brandon.
• 49:30
  I totally disagree, I think. All Lucy Campbell has done is 1.
• 49:34
  Lucy Campbell freaking over 8. All of a sudden Laurel war back.
• 49:39
  It's water. Palooza.
• 49:40
  And everybody's just freaking. Yeah, 'cause she's been injured.
• 49:44
  She's been injured since the last time she won anything it.
• 49:48
  Was she literally was? Winning.
• 49:49
  You mean you mean she didn't do anything for two years?
• 49:53
  Yeah, winning and then gets injured for two years and then
• 49:56
  comes back and winning. So done nothing for two years.
• 49:59
  She was hurt. She's won Wadapalooza was she
• 50:04
  was two years ago gone she. Beat Laurel Horvath.
• 50:07
  No other woman has done that except for Tia or Horvath.
• 50:11
  Doesn't even do crossing anymore.
• 50:12
  Exactly. Or they did.
• 50:14
  So obviously. She won push ups that they let
• 50:17
  her Kip. It was an easy variation of a
• 50:20
  handstand push up that she can already keep up with other
• 50:23
  people in any way and they let her Kip and break the rules and
• 50:27
  Lucy Campbell still beat her. Hey, Zane.
• 50:30
  Zane, you make a great point on this.
• 50:35
  I don't know, I think she'd be on the borderline.
• 50:37
  I know Isabelle drops her like crazy.
• 50:39
  I know Isabelle drops her crazy, right?
• 50:41
  I understand that it doesn't matter at the Games.
• 50:45
  She's going to have one bad event and it's going to be bad.
• 50:48
  She's going to be Hayley Adams of 2021, OK, which is like 5th
• 50:52
  best in the world. That's what she's going to be.
• 50:56
  And if she gets 10 lbs stronger, 20 lbs stronger, she could be on
• 51:01
  the podium. And look, and somebody says
• 51:03
  Brandon is absolutely not going on the podium.
• 51:06
  Guys, there's nobody left, OK? Tia retired.
• 51:11
  Laura's gone. Emma Lawson's back hurts.
• 51:15
  Who is left? There's nobody.
• 51:17
  No, all the women have left. OK, Doing something early or
• 51:21
  another this I struggled to find women to put on the mountain.
• 51:27
  It was going to be the most sexiest mountain you've ever
• 51:30
  seen because nobody's stepping up.
• 51:33
  Lucy Campbell is the only female who's done anything worth
• 51:37
  anything this whole entire year. All right, Ariel Lowen one
• 51:41
  online semis. She's deserving to be on this on
• 51:45
  the top tier of the women. OK, but that's it's online.
• 51:48
  I do not put stock into online things like over in person
• 51:53
  competition. In person competition will
• 51:55
  always trump online every single day for me because people are
• 52:01
  different online than they are in person.
• 52:03
  There are game day players and there are game day losers,
• 52:07
  right? Lucy Campbell is a game day
• 52:09
  player. Absolutely.
• 52:11
  She capodium. Alexis Raptis has done nothing
• 52:14
  but been bad, right? Alexis Raptis, I think it's the
• 52:17
  front runner. I would say she's the actually
• 52:19
  fittest person on this list as far as the girls go, but she's
• 52:23
  done nothing but be terrible all year.
• 52:26
  If Lucy, if no one else has done anything, that means Lucy also
• 52:31
  couldn't have done anything because they're not competing.
• 52:35
  If she's if everybody else is terrible, she can't also have
• 52:38
  done something good. How did Ariel Lowen do at
• 52:40
  Wadapalooza? Terrible.
• 52:42
  How did Alexis Raptors do at Wadapalooza?
• 52:44
  Terrible. That's my point.
• 52:46
  They're not doing good. What did?
• 52:47
  Lucy Campbell do what did. Lucy Campbell do.
• 52:50
  She won against people who did nothing.
• 52:55
  And she also qualified out of Wadlin.
• 52:57
  But she won. OK, John, if I sign you up for
• 53:03
  the Community Cup and you win, am I going to be like, oh wow.
• 53:06
  You're telling me these girls are the Community Cup?
• 53:08
  No, I you're the. One who just said they've done
• 53:10
  nothing. What did Laura Horvath do?
• 53:14
  Lost. Got second.
• 53:16
  But dude, she did something. She was still the Laura Horvath.
• 53:20
  Like she she was full on Laura Horvath and Lucy beat her.
• 53:27
  Andrew you're going to get a wrench here real soon buddy.
• 53:30
  This is this is Abby Dolman I do not think is as fit as these
• 53:34
  women. Abby Dolman did do so Abby and
• 53:37
  Phee have done something. But that's my point.
• 53:39
  None of these women have done anything except Ariel winning
• 53:42
  online semi finals. Lucy Campbell has done the most
• 53:46
  out of any woman in this entire year by a lot.
• 53:52
  I almost wanted to put her in the next row, but I couldn't do
• 53:55
  it because I think these three guys, one one of these, one of
• 54:01
  these three guys is going to be on the podium for the first
• 54:05
  time. Come on, Spin.
• 54:09
  Hey, give Spin a little break. He's he's traveling.
• 54:12
  Is it Adler or is it? What is it, John?
• 54:15
  Is it Adler's? Picture wrong or is the words
• 54:17
  wrong? What's wrong?
• 54:19
  That's the best looking Adler that's ever existed.
• 54:23
  This is This is I don't know what.
• 54:26
  You're talking about Look at Adler.
• 54:27
  Look above Adler. Read the word.
• 54:30
  Oh, I see. I was looking at Dallin's face.
• 54:33
  Is it Dallin? Yeah.
• 54:35
  Spin. Spin messed this up, didn't he?
• 54:37
  It's OK, but what is it supposed to be?
• 54:39
  Is. It wrong it's supposed.
• 54:40
  To be Dallin, all right. It's supposed to be Dallin.
• 54:46
  I think one of these three men will be on the podium.
• 54:49
  Respectable. I don't think one of the men
• 54:54
  above here is going to be on the podium, but he has done nothing
• 54:58
  but earn his place and I can, I will not put one of these guys
• 55:01
  above that guy, but Dallin Pepper, Jason Hopper and Colton
• 55:06
  Mertens. I think one of these three
• 55:09
  people, it will be their very first time on the CrossFit Games
• 55:14
  podium. Colton's Straight running up the
• 55:19
  mountain. But you think one of these three
• 55:22
  guys, that'll be their first time Dallon's been on the
• 55:24
  podium. Yeah, Jason and Colton.
• 55:27
  Thank you, Bryson. Yeah, Dallon was second last
• 55:30
  year. That's my that's my fault.
• 55:32
  Thank you. Dallon's going to be mad.
• 55:34
  That's been messed this up. This is just kind of a bad mess
• 55:37
  up too. No, he'll be honored.
• 55:40
  I don't think anybody would. Really, Dallon probably doesn't
• 55:42
  care where he's at on the mountain unless he's on the top.
• 55:44
  I. Don't know, dude.
• 55:46
  You'd be surprised. All right, next row.
• 55:50
  Next row coming up somewhere. Boom.
• 55:55
  Dude, Adler's so good. He's on the mountain twice.
• 55:58
  Jesus. Now I understand.
• 56:01
  Everybody's going to say Jeff Adler needs to be on top of the
• 56:04
  mountain. Everybody wants to be on Jeff
• 56:07
  Adler's Dick. And listen, I agree, guys.
• 56:12
  I want to be on his Dick too. But I'm not going to.
• 56:16
  I'm not going to do it. I don't care if you're good
• 56:19
  online. What's the last in person other
• 56:23
  than Rogue? And Rogue's a big one, I get it.
• 56:26
  Other than Rogue, what has Jeff done in the last two years?
• 56:31
  Oh my God, you're going to. Oh my.
• 56:36
  God, that's what he's done. So what has Lucy Campbell done
• 56:41
  in the last two years? 1 Wadapalooza.
• 56:44
  She's only won in the last two years.
• 56:49
  That is all that she has done is win She's.
• 56:51
  Won more than Jeff has. I fucking hate it here.
• 56:56
  Jeff has quit and also won, but he also quit.
• 57:01
  And listen, I Jeff has Jeff has to do Jeff has to do more in
• 57:07
  person then win the online semi finals.
• 57:10
  I get it. He raped everybody.
• 57:12
  Dude, he's freaking awesome. He is super fit.
• 57:15
  He might be the front runner to win the games.
• 57:18
  I'm with you guys. I understand that he's awesome.
• 57:21
  OK. And.
• 57:22
  John wants to be on his Dick, he already told.
• 57:24
  Us I do, I want to, but I I, but I refuse.
• 57:30
  I refuse to do it because he has not done it in person as of
• 57:35
  recent other than a competition that is suited for him
• 57:39
  perfectly. Like Rogue is everything Jeff
• 57:42
  could ever want in a competition.
• 57:44
  I want him to do water palooza. I want him to do the Games, the
• 57:48
  CrossFit Games, not take 20th in a swim and then be like, OK, I'm
• 57:53
  out. I understand there's a lot of
• 57:54
  circumstances, but I'm not going to put him at the top of the
• 58:01
  mountain until he beats everybody like this man has.
• 58:08
  This man. I, I think Mayhem, I think
• 58:12
  Mayhem was the biggest collection of the fittest guys
• 58:17
  in the world that we have seen in one competition since Rogue.
• 58:21
  He wasn't invited or the Games, first games and he was 10th.
• 58:26
  Jeff didn't beat him. That's all I know.
• 58:30
  When has Jeff beaten Austin? Well, Austin didn't do.
• 58:36
  This the the no no he did. He did.
• 58:39
  Jeff beat Austin in the semi finals, the last semi finals
• 58:42
  when they were the last. One No.
• 58:43
  North American E semi finals. That was the last time that he
• 58:47
  beat Austin, right? And that was not the Austin that
• 58:51
  is now Austin. This is this is real deal.
• 58:54
  What's going to happen in the next 5 years, Austin?
• 58:57
  Former Bunny farmer Hatfield and as opposed to Bunny farmer
• 59:00
  Hatfield. And until, until Jeff beats
• 59:04
  Austin, I'm not going to put him above Austin.
• 59:06
  Austin was at the games, Austin was at Mayhem, and Jeff and Jeff
• 59:12
  could have been at Mayhem. He didn't want to.
• 59:15
  He said no. So until Jeff competes in person
• 59:22
  and destroys everybody and you know, he's probably going to do
• 59:25
  it at World fitness project. We'll see.
• 59:26
  I, I, I put, I don't put a lot of stock in the world fitness
• 59:29
  project because some people are there for a paycheck, some
• 59:31
  people are there to work real hard.
• 59:33
  Other people are just like in the middle, right.
• 59:36
  It's not everybody's not there doing the same stuff.
• 59:39
  So I, I don't put a ton of stock into that.
• 59:42
  But Jeff, if you want to say Jeff is the you're front runner
• 59:46
  for the games, that's cool. He has to beat Austin.
• 59:50
  He's got to beat Austin to be the top of the games.
• 59:52
  I don't know. Jeff doesn't care, but it is
• 59:58
  it's it's it's my mountain. And this is he has to beat
• 1:00:01
  Austin to be a top of the mountain, to beat above him.
• 1:00:03
  I what about, I think this, I think Colton is going to beat
• 1:00:06
  Austin at the games, but I also understand why Austin is at the
• 1:00:10
  top of the mountain and I think that it's the right place.
• 1:00:12
  What I would change is Adler and Colton.
• 1:00:16
  So you put less stock in online than I do?
• 1:00:21
  Depending on what online competition it is, yeah.
• 1:00:25
  Would you not say that this was a very, very good online
• 1:00:28
  competition? I think it's very good depending
• 1:00:31
  on who you are. If you're someone like Jeff,
• 1:00:32
  where we know you can run, it is good.
• 1:00:35
  If you're someone like Annika, where we know you can't run,
• 1:00:38
  it's like, oh, we can't really tell because maybe you've gotten
• 1:00:40
  better at running, but we don't know.
• 1:00:43
  But I did, but also Colton didn't do it.
• 1:00:46
  Yeah, that's true. And neither did Austin.
• 1:00:50
  Exactly. So I think Austin is where he
• 1:00:51
  deserves to be, right? Now I think Austin and Colton
• 1:00:54
  would would give Jeff a run for his money and work out one and
• 1:00:59
  honestly and Colton in four, I think he would give him a run
• 1:01:04
  for his money. Three.
• 1:01:08
  They're not giving him a run for his money, but they'd be close
• 1:01:10
  enough. The top of the mountain I'm fine
• 1:01:14
  with. Lucy Campbell I'm a bit
• 1:01:16
  squirrely on. It's mostly the bottom I have
• 1:01:20
  questions with I I dig Harry Lightfoot being in the bottom of
• 1:01:24
  the mountain. The dude deserves a little
• 1:01:26
  praise. Dude, and you know, Harry
• 1:01:28
  Lightfoot is somebody we never talk about and he just always
• 1:01:32
  kind of gets it done. He's he's a little Sam quantity,
• 1:01:37
  but I would say a more consistent Sam quantity.
• 1:01:42
  All right, John, explain this next part to me all.
• 1:01:45
  Right. And this is the Bermuda
• 1:01:46
  Triangle. Wait, hold on.
• 1:01:48
  What is this? Someone's missing.
• 1:01:52
  There's somebody missing. Can I pull him out and back up?
• 1:01:56
  Where has he been? No, this guy, you don't
• 1:01:58
  understand. This guy is like one of the
• 1:02:00
  fittest guys in the world. He's missing now.
• 1:02:02
  What is it? Well, it's in water, I see.
• 1:02:07
  It Oh my God. It's Kale Layman.
• 1:02:11
  Oh. Shit nowhere to be found.
• 1:02:14
  Rest in peace. I don't want to make fun too
• 1:02:16
  much, but it's. Probably AWOL to be honest.
• 1:02:20
  That'd be crazy. It's been no longer.
• 1:02:21
  Than two weeks wait, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on.
• 1:02:23
  Until it's been 2 weeks. Hard work pays off, athlete
• 1:02:28
  Kelly. Kelly.
• 1:02:28
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
• 1:02:32
  Has anybody in the comments? That's enough.
• 1:02:35
  That's enough of. That heard from kale I just
• 1:02:38
  Paige and kale. I don't want to go too long on
• 1:02:40
  that. I just thought it would be a
• 1:02:41
  little little shot. I thought it would be funny.
• 1:02:43
  So let's. Go to move on.
• 1:02:46
  If you're missing him, go watch Mayhem Behind the Scenes episode
• 1:02:49
  2. He talks a lot in that.
• 1:02:51
  Good job, John. Alright, that's games mountain I
• 1:02:54
  feel. As good about it as I have felt
• 1:02:57
  about any of them. I feel equally as frustrated as
• 1:03:03
  when I watched the last one this morning.
• 1:03:05
  I don't know how you don't understand it, Caleb.
• 1:03:07
  It's the easiest thing in the world.
• 1:03:08
  It's just that. Simple, you have to try to not
• 1:03:10
  understand it. OK, well then I'm trying really
• 1:03:12
  hard not to understand. It.
• 1:03:14
  All right, you want to be like edgy and stuff you want to be
• 1:03:16
  different that makes. Sense this is an accurate
• 1:03:20
  mountain. I've been a new game, this is my
• 1:03:27
  first game that I've ever created and I am excited to not
• 1:03:30
  play a game and administer the game.
• 1:03:33
  I was up late last night looking to ChatGPT.
• 1:03:36
  Can 3 people play the game? Three people can play the game.
• 1:03:39
  I'll keep score for all three of you.
• 1:03:42
  Points don't matter. The game is called CrossFit or
• 1:03:49
  Cringe so. OK, OK.
• 1:03:56
  Spin reached out today on the social medias and he said give
• 1:04:01
  me your worst stories that have to do with CrossFit.
• 1:04:03
  Tell me your secrets and we want to know.
• 1:04:08
  Some of these are cringe AKA they are false and some of them
• 1:04:13
  are actual CrossFit stories. You 3 need to tell me if they're
• 1:04:17
  real CrossFit stories or if they're just cringy stories.
• 1:04:20
  So good. Are we ready?
• 1:04:24
  I'm so very. This is why I invited you,
• 1:04:27
  Caleb. First question, I pee before a
• 1:04:32
  workout with grips and thumb tape on.
• 1:04:36
  Yeah, I do that. I have.
• 1:04:41
  I have. I have done that before.
• 1:04:44
  I do it every day. I don't.
• 1:04:45
  I don't do it frequently, but I've.
• 1:04:46
  Done like Pavlov to like putting my grips and thumb tape on.
• 1:04:49
  I have to go pee. That's so fucked up.
• 1:04:52
  So I refuse to do this. If I have to go to the bathroom
• 1:04:56
  in the middle of workout, I will take all of my thumb tape off
• 1:04:59
  anything that's on my hands, like my sweat bands, my fucking.
• 1:05:02
  If I have gymnastic grips, I'm taking them off and then I go to
• 1:05:05
  the bathroom and I wash the fuck out of my hands and then I
• 1:05:08
  reapply tape and I put everything else back.
• 1:05:10
  On I'm out. I don't really ever wear thumb
• 1:05:12
  tape ever, so I it's just grips, but I've absolutely done that
• 1:05:18
  with grips before. The grips is just rude, like you
• 1:05:22
  can take them off super easily if some tape, yeah.
• 1:05:26
  Turn around. They're hanging.
• 1:05:27
  They're hanging there and nothing happens, man.
• 1:05:31
  I don't know, nothing happened dude.
• 1:05:33
  Have you seen like AUV view of somebody sitting in a urinal or
• 1:05:38
  a toilet? My grips don't touch anything in
• 1:05:41
  that. You don't have to touch
• 1:05:42
  anything. There's particulates fucking
• 1:05:44
  everywhere. Dude.
• 1:05:45
  Except like, yeah, And you think.
• 1:05:46
  Washing your hands is gonna change all those particulates
• 1:05:49
  bro. Well, at least my grips are in
• 1:05:51
  my bag and not in the bathroom. Yeah, but as soon as you put
• 1:05:54
  them back on those particulates, back on them, dude.
• 1:05:57
  Oh my. God.
• 1:06:00
  Bryson actually takes his gymnastics wrap and then wraps
• 1:06:03
  himself with it. Just I use my grips to wipe my
• 1:06:06
  ass and then I go use that as fucking.
• 1:06:08
  Those are my frog grips dude. It's stickier.
• 1:06:11
  It's the. It's the no chalk grips you just
• 1:06:14
  have to wipe your ass. Like when Bryson's got his own
• 1:06:16
  pull up bar, it really is his own.
• 1:06:18
  Pull up bar, Nobody else uses that bar.
• 1:06:22
  It's got hummus and shit all over.
• 1:06:24
  Oh my God. I will say if I'm chalked up I
• 1:06:29
  I'm pulling my shorts down and I'm not touching anything.
• 1:06:32
  That's my rule. If I'm chalked up I do not want
• 1:06:35
  to wash my hands and re chalk. You got to work that shit in.
• 1:06:38
  If you have frog grips, you don't need to chalk.
• 1:06:40
  Depends on the workout. If you're just doing a barbell
• 1:06:42
  workout, I. Don't really chalk for barbell
• 1:06:44
  stuff. What do we vote, John?
• 1:06:47
  I put chalk on my beans anyway before I work out.
• 1:06:50
  I say cross your beans. Yeah, like I have, you know,
• 1:06:54
  like Gold Bond. I can't even tell the difference
• 1:06:57
  between the chalk on my hands versus the chalk on my black.
• 1:07:01
  The. Baby powder on John's going
• 1:07:04
  CrossFit. Yeah, this CrossFit.
• 1:07:08
  Yeah, that's CrossFit. Well, Caleb, you were against it
• 1:07:11
  the whole time. No, like it's true or false,
• 1:07:13
  it's just real or fake, right? Right.
• 1:07:15
  Yeah, right. That's real.
• 1:07:16
  Fake. Oh, somebody confessed.
• 1:07:18
  I hate. Doing it somebody is this
• 1:07:20
  fucking? Doesn't.
• 1:07:21
  I got it. I thought we were saying if
• 1:07:22
  we've OK, I'm with it. Question #2 I slept with the
• 1:07:29
  yoga instructor and. And her mom?
• 1:07:34
  This is cringe. This is something Tyler made-up
• 1:07:37
  because it's like the most stereotypical thing you could
• 1:07:40
  make up. Or this is something Jeremy
• 1:07:43
  wrote just to write? Jeremy.
• 1:07:45
  No, I oh, this is OK. So Tyler, you don't have to say
• 1:07:48
  if this one is fake or not obviously, but if if on the ones
• 1:07:51
  you didn't, the ones that are fake, did you just make them up
• 1:07:54
  or did people submit like fake ones?
• 1:07:57
  I did riffs on the the ones that were submitted OK.
• 1:08:01
  So I say this one is. This 1 is.
• 1:08:03
  Crank Yeah, so somebody said I slept with the yoga instructor.
• 1:08:06
  And then, Tyler added. And her mom?
• 1:08:09
  That's what exactly. OK.
• 1:08:14
  I still think this. I think this is cross it because
• 1:08:16
  I think we had an instance like this happened at my old
• 1:08:18
  affiliate and we had like we had like a contract yoga instructor
• 1:08:24
  come in and like teach yoga classes on like one day a week.
• 1:08:28
  She was hot. So I'm going to say CrossFit.
• 1:08:31
  I'm saying cringe. Are you guys?
• 1:08:34
  Just in chastity crossfits or whatever, people are just
• 1:08:38
  banging all the time at CrossFit gyms.
• 1:08:41
  This is true. Not my CrossFit gym.
• 1:08:45
  So John's going cringe, Bryson's going cringe, and Caleb's going
• 1:08:52
  CrossFit. CrossFit.
• 1:08:54
  The answer is CrossFit. Gang, gang.
• 1:08:58
  I'm going to need AI. Need a picture of the yoga
• 1:09:00
  instructor? I need a Fact Check for these
• 1:09:02
  people just. Imagine any yoga instructor.
• 1:09:05
  They're all hot. If I try to imagine a hot girl,
• 1:09:09
  all I see is Maris. 18 to 18. Mitchell Hot.
• 1:09:15
  Question #3 Good job Caleb Caleb's gone undefeated so far.
• 1:09:19
  Killing the game dude. Sometimes I intentionally RIP
• 1:09:22
  ass when lifting depending on if I respect the people around me.
• 1:09:29
  This guy's a tool. I'm going to say CrossFit.
• 1:09:32
  Somebody's definitely doing that, but that's messed up, man.
• 1:09:38
  I would say CrossFit and I also even go as far as say Taylor was
• 1:09:41
  only submitted this. Wow, really?
• 1:09:47
  Oh yeah. It does say RIP ass.
• 1:09:49
  That's on demand. It's on demand for that guy.
• 1:09:52
  Actually dude OK I was going to say I think I maybe I'm just
• 1:10:03
  thinking of myself but I refuse to RIP ass.
• 1:10:05
  If I'm in a gym full of people I will like go outside.
• 1:10:08
  And RIP ass crazy bro. Caleb, do you have?
• 1:10:11
  Like you never had one of those workouts where the first round
• 1:10:14
  of 20 burpees every single burpee you RIP ass when you hit
• 1:10:17
  the ground? No, you never working out hard
• 1:10:19
  enough then. You're right, dude.
• 1:10:23
  You're telling me everybody's doing clean and jerks like
• 1:10:25
  they're doing Grace or something and you, it's super loud and
• 1:10:29
  you've just got it. You've got to get one out
• 1:10:31
  because you're suffering and you just don't let it out because
• 1:10:33
  it's so loud in the gym at that time, Yeah.
• 1:10:37
  I I, no, I never suffer. I just, you know, let it go.
• 1:10:41
  Or the music is so loud that you just crop dust everybody because
• 1:10:45
  no one can hear it. I mean, I, I like, I try to sit
• 1:10:50
  down on a bench, like away from everybody.
• 1:10:52
  Dude, one time we were doing this running and ski workout, we
• 1:10:55
  had the ski set up outside, then we're doing a 400 out and back
• 1:10:58
  and on the way back to the first 3 rounds Taylor was in front of
• 1:11:01
  me and he was just farting the whole time.
• 1:11:03
  I was so annoyed and I could hear it too because we're just
• 1:11:06
  out there, you know, no headphones or anything.
• 1:11:10
  This is definitely Taylor. All right, I'm going to say
• 1:11:13
  CrossFit. Go on.
• 1:11:14
  CrossFit across the board CrossFit question #4I shit
• 1:11:20
  myself in the middle of a workout.
• 1:11:22
  I tied my hoodie around my waist and told everyone I was just
• 1:11:25
  sweating through my shorts. I could see this one being a
• 1:11:31
  play. I could see this one being a
• 1:11:32
  play on a real story though. Yeah, OK.
• 1:11:35
  So the. Caleb.
• 1:11:39
  'S good I was coaching a class way back in the day and this
• 1:11:46
  this this woman did that but she didn't shit her pants she like
• 1:11:49
  started having her period in the middle of the workout so she
• 1:11:52
  like she like was on the rower and then like started.
• 1:11:56
  Bleeding out and. Then she put on a put on a Jack
• 1:12:00
  sweater. That's, that's there's been a
• 1:12:04
  scenario like that before where like I just like I saw this, I
• 1:12:09
  saw this girl, I was like, she was doing handstand push ups.
• 1:12:12
  And then like, so when she like flipped over, like you could
• 1:12:14
  like it was very noticeable. And I just kind of walked over
• 1:12:19
  to her. I was like, hey girl, you might
• 1:12:20
  want to go to the bathroom. You got some, you got some
• 1:12:22
  stuff. And it's very polite.
• 1:12:23
  Would you do that? Joe and then yeah, I care about
• 1:12:26
  people. Y'all are all just.
• 1:12:28
  Trying to what it seems to me, shit everybody.
• 1:12:31
  I think I'd say the same thing. John actually turned the music
• 1:12:33
  off and he was like, hey guys, the Red River's flowing over
• 1:12:36
  here for this. This dummy dude.
• 1:12:40
  Or or or. I put Leona Lewis on like a kid
• 1:12:46
  bleeding. I can't.
• 1:12:52
  Get John cancelled again. Mixed like that.
• 1:12:54
  When I was it used to like our gym used to have like a
• 1:12:58
  powerlifting, like a big contingent of power lifters and
• 1:13:03
  like deadlift days would just go crazy and girls would just be
• 1:13:07
  pissing themselves. And I swear, like some of them,
• 1:13:09
  it felt like they were trying. Do it on purpose.
• 1:13:13
  But yeah, that's that's fair. That's fair, Ed.
• 1:13:17
  Care about some people. I accept.
• 1:13:19
  I accept that. If he likes the way you look, he
• 1:13:21
  tells you to go to the bathroom. CrossFit cringe.
• 1:13:25
  I'm going to say CrossFit, I guess I'm.
• 1:13:26
  Going to say CrossFit. I'm going to say cringe because
• 1:13:29
  I don't think they actually shit themselves.
• 1:13:32
  Caleb sitting homers. What was the actual one?
• 1:13:38
  I think it was another fart 1 and I just wanted to amp it up.
• 1:13:41
  I do know who people who have shit themselves in the middle of
• 1:13:43
  met cons though. No, I I do too.
• 1:13:45
  That's why I thought this was I do, I I don't.
• 1:13:49
  I almost did coming down from a bar muscle out like it was out
• 1:13:54
  just having some stuff on dude. And then it was like 95.
• 1:13:59
  That's a loose one and. Bar muscle UPS and it was just
• 1:14:03
  you get this knot in your stomach and then like I like
• 1:14:06
  came down. I just like fell down and then
• 1:14:09
  it was like, and I was like, I just kind of stayed there for a
• 1:14:14
  minute. Gold from hitting the ground
• 1:14:17
  just settled all your shit right in.
• 1:14:19
  Your yeah, yeah, like, because I kind of like just dropped from
• 1:14:22
  the top, you know what I mean? That I didn't like like settle
• 1:14:24
  or anything and and I had to cinch it in real quick and I was
• 1:14:29
  like OK, I'll be back. Y'all are doing great, I'll be
• 1:14:32
  back. John and Bryson you or yeah,
• 1:14:35
  John and Bryson you both missed 2 and Caleb's.
• 1:14:38
  Caleb's. Undefeated.
• 1:14:38
  No, I only missed one. No, you only missed one.
• 1:14:41
  This is not a game that I care to win, Tyler.
• 1:14:45
  Question #5 if a wall ball breaks I patch it after sneaking
• 1:14:51
  a 5 LB plate inside. I make anyone annoying get it,
• 1:14:55
  or make sure anyone annoying gets it, or if I want to beat
• 1:14:58
  someone. This is fake.
• 1:15:03
  If it's not fake, you're a terrible person.
• 1:15:09
  Caleb's torn. Oh, I don't know.
• 1:15:11
  I, I don't know, some coaches can be like super gay about shit
• 1:15:16
  like that. Well, they'll just they think
• 1:15:19
  it's cool to like, make people. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:15:24
  You know. What I mean, yeah.
• 1:15:26
  It's a Ben Bergeron. Trying to think of an example.
• 1:15:27
  But yes, yeah, it's very Ben Bergeron.
• 1:15:30
  Yeah, like they're just like, like.
• 1:15:31
  Oh, what are you going to do if you wall ball at the games?
• 1:15:33
  It's heavier than everybody else's.
• 1:15:34
  Exactly. They're.
• 1:15:36
  Like they'll give you a 20 LB wall ball but they get they
• 1:15:38
  added a 5 LB plate to it or like they threw like fractionals onto
• 1:15:43
  your 135 LB barbell or something.
• 1:15:46
  Two things that Taylor's done to me like this one time I was in
• 1:15:48
  the middle of an interval and on the last round Taylor turned my
• 1:15:53
  damper on my biker, got to 10 and put my seat all the way down
• 1:15:56
  and said I had to do it standing.
• 1:15:57
  Yep. And that really fucking sucked.
• 1:15:59
  And then another time it was a Burby box jump over interval and
• 1:16:02
  the last interval he turned it up to 30 inches when it was a 24
• 1:16:05
  inch for the whole workout. Yeah, yeah, that's it though I
• 1:16:10
  figured he would do more sneaky shit like that.
• 1:16:13
  That's the only time he's ever done stuff like that.
• 1:16:17
  John, I'm. Going to say cringe.
• 1:16:23
  I think it's fake. Yeah, I think it's fake too.
• 1:16:26
  That's borderline dangerous, I think.
• 1:16:30
  No fucking way, dude. Who said?
• 1:16:33
  Who submitted that you should say their name?
• 1:16:36
  No, you want. A blast, but I do want to hear
• 1:16:39
  about this. After yeah, yeah, I, I didn't
• 1:16:41
  know. After I got to know.
• 1:16:43
  Whatever that is and. I'm and I'm going to.
• 1:16:46
  I'm not. Saying it's doctrine, patient
• 1:16:47
  confidentiality. I can't.
• 1:16:49
  It's a HIPAA violation. Attorney-client privilege.
• 1:16:52
  Yeah, Question number six, Last question, You guys are doing
• 1:16:57
  great, but you all missed that one, so you sucker.
• 1:17:00
  I pretend to forget the workout so I can just stay in there for
• 1:17:04
  a second. I like that one.
• 1:17:09
  I know it's freaky. My dad does this.
• 1:17:14
  Is it 5 rounds or is it 7? He'll park himself in the corner
• 1:17:19
  of the gym. I fucking hate that he does
• 1:17:20
  this. And like, so nobody can see him
• 1:17:22
  and there's no white board over there.
• 1:17:24
  So nobody knows what he he could be over there doing whatever.
• 1:17:27
  And. He's got to walk all the white
• 1:17:29
  board. 100% he'll stop doing fucking cleans or something and
• 1:17:33
  wander over to the white board and be like, what was that?
• 1:17:35
  And he doesn't have his glasses on, so he's got to like, yeah.
• 1:17:40
  Yeah, this is definitely real. Yeah, I watch people do this
• 1:17:43
  every day. I have specific people in mind
• 1:17:46
  to do this every day. You should call him out.
• 1:17:51
  I feel bad now. Now I've told people like a
• 1:17:53
  secret that they, because this would have never occurred to me.
• 1:17:55
  Like, you can't just act like. Really.
• 1:17:57
  Yeah. Oh.
• 1:17:59
  It's like, I mean, it's like a chalk break, dude.
• 1:18:01
  They're like, Oh my. God dude I just got the workout
• 1:18:05
  wrong last week. Like I don't focus on it enough
• 1:18:08
  I guess. My water broke while I was doing
• 1:18:10
  wall balls. I don't think the floor mats.
• 1:18:14
  Holy shit. Hey, you need.
• 1:18:16
  Hey, Hey, there you go. Tyler, get her doing wall balls.
• 1:18:20
  Actually, wow, that would make sense.
• 1:18:23
  You guys, they are due any day now, right Tyler?
• 1:18:26
  Yeah, dude, I I'm ready for her. It's it's it sucks to watch.
• 1:18:34
  Like just she wants him to be out.
• 1:18:36
  He's not wanting to be out and we just got to sit here and play
• 1:18:38
  the waiting game. It's.
• 1:18:39
  Cozy in there, I get it. I get it too.
• 1:18:43
  Thanks for playing guys. The there are some honorable,
• 1:18:48
  honorable mentions. I wanted some more raunchy stuff
• 1:18:51
  like CrossFit gyms are full of like crazy stories.
• 1:18:56
  I don't know that people were like, because they're like spin
• 1:18:59
  or I am still going to see the names.
• 1:19:02
  And so I think they were a little bit worried.
• 1:19:05
  There's a way to make it anonymous.
• 1:19:06
  Yeah, yeah. Is there?
• 1:19:08
  Yeah. I think where I posted it to my
• 1:19:12
  story they just replied to the story.
• 1:19:15
  Oh yeah, it says like anonymous on it, like.
• 1:19:18
  Yeah, CrossFit taught me that I might be into dating 50 year old
• 1:19:24
  women. That feels like sevens.
• 1:19:28
  That's it's my main clientele 35 to 50.
• 1:19:34
  We have a CFL one who's awful and a protein fart in our locker
• 1:19:38
  three to four times a week. Wow.
• 1:19:42
  Yes, dude. Yes, that.
• 1:19:44
  That one's funny. That should have been.
• 1:19:45
  That should have made the cut. Yeah, I think, I think that
• 1:19:48
  should have made the cut. I agree.
• 1:19:50
  This one was straight up just a confession.
• 1:19:52
  I've never done Fran. Like how?
• 1:19:56
  Wow, they. Need to their CrossFit father
• 1:20:01
  like. Like I've probably been doing 1
• 1:20:05
  to 5 less dubs on every met con forever because I can't count
• 1:20:09
  past 50. I have no fucking clue what I'm
• 1:20:12
  doing. Nobody does.
• 1:20:16
  I can't double under as well. I said I was on round 5 when I
• 1:20:23
  was really on round three. I'm sorry, coach.
• 1:20:27
  Just a bunch of people lie. We just.
• 1:20:31
  We turned into the confessional booth at church.
• 1:20:34
  And it's all there was really good ones.
• 1:20:36
  One time I didn't put my dishes in the dishwasher.
• 1:20:39
  I'm sorry, mom. OK, this one.
• 1:20:43
  I said I got, I said I got 12 reps and I really only got 10.
• 1:20:47
  That's. A good one.
• 1:20:51
  Let's see, this one wishes their coach did more strict gymnastics
• 1:20:55
  movement standards. And it's like, it's not really a
• 1:20:58
  confessional one. Don't you just talk?
• 1:21:00
  They're just annoyed, Yeah, they're just going to happen.
• 1:21:05
  I'm a man, I always use the Bella bar but I'll add fives but
• 1:21:09
  still I feel like it's better telling some.
• 1:21:13
  More Yeah, there's a there's a guy at at my old gym who used to
• 1:21:16
  do that. He'd only live with the girls
• 1:21:17
  bar. Dude, it makes a difference.
• 1:21:19
  You. Oh yeah, it's so much smaller
• 1:21:23
  and like, like the whip that you have on it with like anything in
• 1:21:26
  a hang. The whip's insane.
• 1:21:28
  The whip is crazy. One time I was at my old gym, I
• 1:21:33
  used to train with this lady and she was doing like the masters
• 1:21:36
  online semi finals I believe and they had to do a normal total.
• 1:21:39
  So she was doing a back squat. She had like a minute left and
• 1:21:42
  she failed a 255 back squat. And I was there in jeans and
• 1:21:44
  Crocs and I just power cleaned it cold, which is like a pretty
• 1:21:48
  heavy power clean for me to do cold.
• 1:21:50
  And it felt so light just. Because it's different, it's
• 1:21:54
  different. I've I've actually thought of
• 1:21:56
  like maxing out with the girls bar just to.
• 1:21:59
  See what happens. See if I can do more.
• 1:22:01
  Well, I failed four O 5 like 4 times and I was like really
• 1:22:07
  considering using a girls bar just so I could hit it like like
• 1:22:10
  because I thought it would make a difference.
• 1:22:12
  And because it's at this point it's holding onto it.
• 1:22:15
  It slips out of my hook grip like whenever I'm, you know, I
• 1:22:19
  don't my very small hands and we're getting to that point
• 1:22:21
  where it's a limiter and thankfully it never came to
• 1:22:25
  that, but I deeply considered it.
• 1:22:29
  I understand, I've done them like in open workouts and stuff.
• 1:22:33
  I've definitely used the girls bar.
• 1:22:35
  Yeah, it used to be allowed. Yeah, semifinals recap.
• 1:22:41
  I'm just going to let us wander. I think we all agreed that the
• 1:22:45
  events overall were good. I think the big thing on
• 1:22:48
  everybody's mind now is just the leaderboard.
• 1:22:51
  I have heard rumors that HQ is going to do very little review
• 1:22:57
  past secondary review. I haven't heard any rumors, but
• 1:23:01
  if you just listen to Dave on his weekend review, it sounds
• 1:23:04
  like they're not going to fucking do anything.
• 1:23:05
  Which is so stupid because. If they don't penalize Brooke,
• 1:23:09
  then what is the point of even doing it?
• 1:23:11
  Brooke should be invalid, Olivia should be invalid.
• 1:23:14
  Anyone who did their GHD is wrong should be invalid.
• 1:23:16
  It should literally be almost an entirely new 11 going to the
• 1:23:19
  games. Well, you have to go on down
• 1:23:23
  though and like, I mean, I think the other people get penalties
• 1:23:26
  too. Yeah, I think you go.
• 1:23:28
  I think you review the top 11. When people get invalid videos
• 1:23:31
  and move out, whoever moves in, you start reviewing them and you
• 1:23:33
  just keep reviewing whoever gets in the top 11 until you get a
• 1:23:36
  top 11. That's how you just do that in
• 1:23:38
  perpetuity though. Like where?
• 1:23:40
  Like where does it end? At 357.
• 1:23:44
  Why 357 is? Somebody.
• 1:23:46
  That's how many guys entered. Well, that's doable.
• 1:23:52
  I mean I I. I understand but dude it's not I
• 1:23:56
  I think we could do it if we put our.
• 1:23:59
  Minds do it. I think we could review every
• 1:24:03
  single video. As Killer had.
• 1:24:05
  In before the date goes it's. He's one guy.
• 1:24:08
  Killer did it and it's he's one guy and yeah, it sucked, but
• 1:24:11
  that's what CrossFit signing themselves up for when you send
• 1:24:14
  11 people in the Games through an online competition.
• 1:24:16
  And you can't tell me they don't have a team that's bigger than
• 1:24:19
  us, like and we 100% could do it now, like how you like decide
• 1:24:25
  this penalty's worth this I that's a different story, Like,
• 1:24:30
  but as far as who gets penalized and what for?
• 1:24:37
  The the thing that sucks is like this review is going to take a
• 1:24:41
  while. I don't think we're going to
• 1:24:43
  know for another week or more. And the whole time syndicates
• 1:24:46
  waiting TFXII do think it's wild that athletes will have to like
• 1:24:52
  potentially go to a semifinal they don't need to go to.
• 1:24:55
  That's fucking wild. Well, that's how they'll get
• 1:24:57
  their ticket. I'm going to tell you right now,
• 1:24:59
  Kyra Milligan's going to go to the CrossFit Games because
• 1:25:01
  Olivia's going to mop at TFX. And honestly might be the reason
• 1:25:06
  Emily Rolfe doesn't get a ticket because she will be taking one
• 1:25:09
  of those spots and then that will be her spot and then the
• 1:25:13
  online would go down to the next person.
• 1:25:16
  Yeah, it's it's So even if the video review process isn't done,
• 1:25:20
  if you earn a ticket to the games in another competition,
• 1:25:23
  you that's where your ticket comes from and then the online
• 1:25:26
  semi finals don't matter for you.
• 1:25:28
  I literally blackfield, Yeah. And listen.
• 1:25:32
  Dred Brooke did get a major penalty and that's why she
• 1:25:37
  wasn't on the mountain. And that's on period.
• 1:25:43
  That's on period. I do want to remind everybody,
• 1:25:46
  Syndicate Crown tickets down here in the bottom left.
• 1:25:49
  Go get your Syndicate Crown tickets.
• 1:25:51
  I know John's going to be there. Bryson's going to be competing
• 1:25:55
  and Caleb we may or may not see. The surprise?
• 1:26:01
  Be pretty sick if I could go, yeah.
• 1:26:04
  I we just got off our call for that yesterday, figuring some
• 1:26:09
  stuff out and that every day that it gets closer, I get more
• 1:26:12
  and more excited. John's amping up, getting ready
• 1:26:16
  for his commentating voice. Dude, Syndicate is going to be
• 1:26:20
  awesome. And the thing I'm most excited
• 1:26:21
  about is we're going to, so we're going to set up shut up
• 1:26:24
  and scribble in the warm up area.
• 1:26:27
  So we're literally just going to have a table in the athlete warm
• 1:26:29
  up area, camera on us, probably get another camera facing out
• 1:26:33
  and just sit there and just talk about how everyone looks and who
• 1:26:36
  looks nervous, who isn't in between all the events.
• 1:26:42
  Ji was retarded. Adler only wins, but Austin is
• 1:26:46
  hired. Hired McDonald's eating idiot.
• 1:26:50
  Wow that's that might be a wrench worthy comment.
• 1:26:53
  No, no, that was sweet. I I, I'm sorry, Michael, I'm
• 1:26:57
  sorry that I frustrated you that much.
• 1:26:59
  But I hope. I hope.
• 1:27:01
  Austin is hired. You know what, you just think
• 1:27:04
  what you want. I'm sorry that I'm not your cup
• 1:27:06
  of tea. If I'm hiring anybody, I'm
• 1:27:08
  definitely hiring Austin over Adler.
• 1:27:11
  That means that his typo was that he put AD on the end of
• 1:27:13
  that because he meant to say hire and he still.
• 1:27:18
  HIHIGHER versus. HI.
• 1:27:23
  R e.g. like it's it's big. Austin's higher.
• 1:27:28
  I made the opposite mistake I think with Pedro and he made me
• 1:27:31
  feel like a fucking idiot. I spelled hired as in hiring
• 1:27:33
  somebody HIGHERED made it so much more difficult.
• 1:27:41
  That's all I got for tonight. Short show.
• 1:27:44
  This is the fastest 1 we've done in a while.
• 1:27:47
  Go get your frog grips. You're going to need them.
• 1:27:50
  Go to the syndicate crown everybody.
• 1:27:53
  Thanks for. I apologize to absolutely
• 1:27:56
  nobody.
