• 0:07
  Yeah, nothing's working today.
• 0:08
  It's just a bunch of old
• 0:09
  guys here live on all the platforms.
• 0:15
  None of the videos are working.
• 0:17
  It's just typical.
• 0:18
  That's what happens.
• 0:19
  It's all good.
• 0:20
  Now we turn it into riffing.
• 0:21
  Riffing with everybody.
• 0:23
  Riffing with everybody.
• 0:24
  This is a special edition of
• 0:26
  Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
• 0:28
  We've got – it's a master's edition,
• 0:29
  age groups.
• 0:30
  Semis are going on this weekend.
• 0:32
  I've got Ryan Redkey with me
• 0:34
  up there in the upper right.
• 0:35
  I've got Dex Oppenheim lower
• 0:37
  left and Corey Leonard lower right.
• 0:41
  All competed this weekend.
• 0:43
  All are still on the leaderboard,
• 0:45
  so I'm assuming you're all healthy.
• 0:46
  Yeah.
• 0:49
  I feel unwell.
• 0:50
  I feel abused.
• 0:52
  The 20-minute AMRAP was the
• 0:53
  only one I thought would
• 0:54
  make me significantly sore,
• 0:56
  and I was right.
• 0:59
  Yeah, luckily we got to do that early on.
• 1:02
  That was a few days ago.
• 1:05
  Now it's just hurting in the
• 1:06
  moment for being real
• 1:08
  disappointed with these muscle-ups.
• 1:09
  Let's see how this one goes.
• 1:14
  So the couple things I want
• 1:16
  to talk about just
• 1:16
  overarching before we get
• 1:17
  into the workouts,
• 1:18
  and that is new season this year.
• 1:23
  We're going to Legends for
• 1:25
  the CrossFit Games.
• 1:26
  It's opened up the
• 1:27
  opportunities a little bit more.
• 1:30
  And the programming has
• 1:31
  shifted from CrossFit HQ to
• 1:34
  Bob and Joe over at Legends.
• 1:37
  Overarching thoughts about
• 1:38
  how it's going so far.
• 1:41
  And we'll start with Dex.
• 1:44
  I mean, these fellas,
• 1:45
  Corey's kicking my ass right now,
• 1:47
  I think.
• 1:47
  Corey's in my thing.
• 1:49
  Aren't you a 35-39, Corey?
• 1:51
  No, I'm in 45, 49 decks.
• 1:53
  I'm not kicking your ass.
• 1:55
  I can promise you that.
• 1:56
  Just kidding.
• 1:57
  It might be anyway.
• 1:58
  Just kidding.
• 1:59
  But dude,
• 1:59
  so I haven't had any experience
• 2:01
  at that Masters event.
• 2:02
  I did Masters Fitness
• 2:03
  Collective and it was like
• 2:04
  my first experience to get
• 2:05
  exposed to that group of people.
• 2:07
  Had an awesome time.
• 2:08
  And I did not know that they
• 2:11
  were just getting it straight from them.
• 2:12
  So that's news to me and
• 2:13
  that's kind of exciting because it's
• 2:15
  If I end up qualifying,
• 2:16
  it's an hour and a half south of me,
• 2:18
  and the places I understand
• 2:19
  they're going to be doing
• 2:20
  the events are going to be,
• 2:22
  it'll be sexy.
• 2:23
  A little bit of outdoor stuff,
• 2:24
  a little bit of indoor, so it'll be good.
• 2:27
  Ryan, what are your thoughts?
• 2:31
  I go a ways back with,
• 2:33
  you getting an echo on me?
• 2:34
  I'm hearing an echo.
• 2:35
  Sound okay?
• 2:35
  It's a little bit of an echo.
• 2:36
  Okay.
• 2:38
  I can try to switch to
• 2:39
  headphones in a second here, but I...
• 2:42
  went to the very first legends in 2017.
• 2:44
  So I've known Bob and Joe for a long time.
• 2:47
  There was like 34 guys that
• 2:51
  showed up that day.
• 2:51
  It was a one day comp when
• 2:53
  they were just getting their feet wet.
• 2:56
  And I've always seen that
• 2:59
  they put on a great, great show,
• 3:01
  done a great job.
• 3:03
  I've always loved their
• 3:03
  programming personally.
• 3:07
  And so I think it's going to
• 3:09
  be great that they're doing it.
• 3:12
  If anybody's going to do it,
• 3:13
  I'm glad it's those two
• 3:14
  guys taking it over.
• 3:19
  So far,
• 3:20
  it's gone well with programming
• 3:21
  they've put out so far.
• 3:23
  Wait, they did semifinals too?
• 3:26
  My understanding is that Joe
• 3:29
  programmed the semifinals,
• 3:30
  did the first drafts, and then
• 3:33
  Bob had some oversight with it.
• 3:36
  I love Joe.
• 3:36
  Whoever Joe is, I love him.
• 3:39
  Big fan of Joe.
• 3:40
  They submitted it to Boz and
• 3:42
  team for review is what my
• 3:44
  understanding is of how the
• 3:46
  programming was.
• 3:47
  Joe likes classic CrossFit.
• 3:49
  I'm a fan.
• 3:50
  Even the 20-minute AMRAP,
• 3:52
  and Scott knows this to be true,
• 3:54
  I've never said I enjoyed a
• 3:56
  20-minute AMRAP.
• 3:57
  and that's about as close as
• 3:58
  I'm gonna get so yeah if
• 4:00
  joe came up with these four
• 4:01
  boy me and joe gonna be me
• 4:02
  and joe gonna be all right
• 4:04
  yeah I kind of felt the
• 4:05
  same way that uh the 20
• 4:07
  minute amrap was the uh I
• 4:09
  felt the best programmed
• 4:10
  one and I'm not a fan of
• 4:11
  long amraps either but uh I
• 4:14
  thought that was the
• 4:14
  probably the best
• 4:15
  programmed uh workout of
• 4:16
  the four I dig it I think uh
• 4:20
  Man,
• 4:20
  the first one I liked was just because
• 4:22
  that's a wheelhouse one for me,
• 4:24
  more or less.
• 4:25
  But the last two are like 1
• 4:29
  to 30 muscle-ups per time for everybody,
• 4:32
  basically.
• 4:33
  And the last one is more of
• 4:34
  like a gut check.
• 4:36
  Because you're going to feel
• 4:37
  fine when you get to the thrusters,
• 4:38
  probably.
• 4:39
  You'll probably feel fine.
• 4:40
  It's pretty much...
• 4:42
  How bad do you want to make
• 4:43
  the top 40 or whatever your age group is?
• 4:45
  Do you want to go unbroken
• 4:46
  on those thrusters or do
• 4:47
  you want to set the bar
• 4:48
  down and take your chances?
• 4:49
  So that's kind of what that
• 4:52
  workout's all about, I think.
• 4:53
  Oh, man, that's good news to me.
• 4:55
  That's very cool.
• 4:56
  One,
• 4:56
  it's cool that they're cooperating
• 4:58
  with those people at the
• 4:59
  different events.
• 4:59
  I feel like rapport-wise,
• 5:00
  that'll be good going forward,
• 5:01
  especially if this is like
• 5:02
  the road we're going to continue down.
• 5:04
  Because I know the guys that run the teen,
• 5:06
  the pit, the teenage games last year, man,
• 5:09
  I've worked them for a while.
• 5:10
  And it's, they have an awesome team.
• 5:12
  And I worried about that one,
• 5:14
  the facility they're in.
• 5:15
  It's awesome.
• 5:16
  Three Rivers CrossFit is just small.
• 5:17
  So I'm glad they got away from that.
• 5:19
  They're gonna have a bigger
• 5:20
  venue to support like the
• 5:21
  infrastructure of it.
• 5:22
  But I worry for them about
• 5:24
  like kind of breaking up
• 5:25
  the team and not cooperating with them.
• 5:27
  And I
• 5:27
  I think you want a good mix of both.
• 5:29
  I want it to be the CrossFit
• 5:30
  Games and I want it to be
• 5:31
  overseen by them and all that stuff,
• 5:32
  but also let it be its own
• 5:33
  brand like they've done so well with.
• 5:35
  We had such a positive
• 5:36
  experience going and hell,
• 5:37
  I guess now I have one with semifinals.
• 5:39
  So, yeah, that's encouraging to me,
• 5:41
  especially like from a
• 5:43
  thousand foot view is like
• 5:44
  where they're going to take
• 5:45
  care of these things as
• 5:46
  they get to be separate events.
• 5:49
  Yeah,
• 5:49
  so I want Corey's input here because
• 5:52
  I know Corey,
• 5:53
  so just if you want to know who Joe is,
• 5:55
  Dex,
• 5:56
  did a show with him about four months
• 5:58
  ago.
• 5:58
  Okay.
• 5:59
  So you can go check that out
• 6:00
  and get to meet him.
• 6:02
  Corey was in the chat on that show.
• 6:04
  That day he made gold for himself,
• 6:06
  and it included legends.
• 6:08
  And I think it's safe to say
• 6:12
  that you have surpassed
• 6:13
  your goal for this season, Corey.
• 6:15
  And so where are you sitting today?
• 6:18
  Absolutely.
• 6:19
  As of last night,
• 6:20
  when the first part got finished up,
• 6:23
  I'm sitting in 169th spot.
• 6:26
  Just 120 or so spots out of qualifying.
• 6:30
  No big deal.
• 6:34
  So the 20-minute MRAP yesterday,
• 6:36
  plantar fasciitis in my right foot.
• 6:40
  I don't know.
• 6:41
  Yeah, that's exactly what that felt like.
• 6:45
  I was hobbling around like Tiny Tim.
• 6:47
  At Christmas time, by the time I got done,
• 6:49
  dude, like, it was bad.
• 6:50
  Yeah.
• 6:52
  Which forced me to go slower
• 6:52
  than what I wanted to.
• 6:53
  I had seven and a half,
• 6:56
  eight rounds in mine, and I got, like,
• 6:59
  six and a half.
• 6:59
  But, I mean, whatever.
• 7:01
  So, in October, after NFC,
• 7:04
  I made a goal to just qualify for semis.
• 7:08
  And here we are.
• 7:09
  So I'm pretty excited about that.
• 7:10
  Next big thing on the radar
• 7:12
  is definitely to qualify for Legends.
• 7:15
  That is the next big
• 7:17
  overarching goal as far as that goes.
• 7:18
  So, like,
• 7:20
  anything that happens beyond
• 7:21
  today and when the
• 7:22
  leaderboard gets finalized,
• 7:24
  whenever the hell that's going to be,
• 7:25
  that's lined out for me.
• 7:28
  That's just gravy, dude.
• 7:29
  One of my partners says,
• 7:31
  I'm just very happy to be here.
• 7:34
  Corey, you're from Louisiana.
• 7:35
  You're from Louisiana, aren't you?
• 7:37
  Yes, sir.
• 7:39
  Yes, sir.
• 7:42
  I know when I hear it, baby, don't worry.
• 7:43
  Where do you live?
• 7:44
  I live in Gonzalez.
• 7:47
  Yes, you know Alex Darby.
• 7:49
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 7:50
  That's my old boy, man.
• 7:52
  Okay.
• 7:53
  Yep.
• 7:53
  Alex is a homie, dude.
• 7:54
  Me and Alex,
• 7:55
  our first year at regionals was 2014,
• 7:58
  and then we did Masters,
• 7:59
  and he's doing team this year.
• 8:00
  I was pissed he didn't ask
• 8:01
  me to be on his team, him and Charity.
• 8:04
  But, yeah, I couldn't travel this year.
• 8:06
  But, no, dude,
• 8:07
  it was cool at Masters
• 8:08
  Fitness Collective.
• 8:09
  I was like, dude, I said, well,
• 8:10
  your first year was 2014, wasn't it?
• 8:12
  Because we were just out there trash.
• 8:14
  I think me and him did real
• 8:14
  good in the open.
• 8:16
  Yeah, Alex is a good dude.
• 8:17
  He's the most flexible man
• 8:18
  I've ever seen besides Brandon Luckett.
• 8:21
  Bro, he's so strong.
• 8:22
  He's so strong.
• 8:24
  I love that dude, bro.
• 8:26
  He's somebody I've been,
• 8:28
  since I've been competing,
• 8:29
  I've been around him and
• 8:31
  get to see him do a whole lot of stuff.
• 8:32
  And he is really, really fun to watch,
• 8:35
  especially once he starts
• 8:37
  getting mad and shit,
• 8:38
  because then he just starts
• 8:38
  throwing weight around.
• 8:39
  It's crazy.
• 8:40
  Oh, yeah.
• 8:40
  He's terrifying.
• 8:41
  Scott,
• 8:42
  you can't have me and Corey on at
• 8:43
  the same time.
• 8:43
  I like my accent being the cool one.
• 8:46
  and cory has the cage the
• 8:49
  cajun one the cajun one
• 8:50
  beats mine plus you're
• 8:52
  you're both those types of
• 8:53
  people you just pull your
• 8:54
  own string and just keep
• 8:55
  talking yeah you remember
• 8:57
  yeah yeah and I want to
• 8:58
  thank cory for being the
• 8:59
  first person to ever do the
• 9:00
  show from the john from the
• 9:01
  yeah I'm outside I got no
• 9:03
  info like I told you I
• 9:05
  completely forgot that I
• 9:07
  was doing that this was his thing so like
• 9:10
  So kids are in the pool right now.
• 9:14
  Like everywhere I go, it's either windy.
• 9:16
  I can barely hear.
• 9:17
  Like I got to have volume
• 9:18
  turned all the way up and I
• 9:19
  can barely hear.
• 9:20
  I was like, I keep doing this.
• 9:24
  Scott and I have similar accents.
• 9:26
  I'm a,
• 9:26
  I was in Minnesota for the first 37
• 9:28
  years.
• 9:28
  So the Northern Midwest.
• 9:31
  Oh yeah.
• 9:32
  Oh yeah.
• 9:36
  Oh, yeah.
• 9:38
  So, yeah, I grew up Pennsylvanian.
• 9:39
  Oh, okay.
• 9:41
  And I was just,
• 9:42
  I didn't want to be a yinz guy.
• 9:44
  A yinz guy.
• 9:46
  No.
• 9:48
  That's like me calling every
• 9:50
  kind of soft drink Coke.
• 9:52
  Corey probably does the same thing.
• 9:53
  What kind of Coke do you want?
• 9:55
  Scott?
• 9:55
  Sprite?
• 9:56
  Okay, cool.
• 9:57
  And y'all call it soda or
• 9:58
  pop or whatever you guys do.
• 10:02
  I want to jump back to Ryan
• 10:04
  before this thing
• 10:04
  completely goes off the rails.
• 10:09
  There were leaks on the workouts.
• 10:11
  How does that affect a weekend like this?
• 10:18
  Well, for me personally,
• 10:19
  I didn't know about it
• 10:21
  until after we were already going.
• 10:23
  You know,
• 10:23
  I heard something about the leaks
• 10:26
  maybe on the second day,
• 10:29
  maybe Thursday or Friday
• 10:31
  was the first time I even heard about it.
• 10:32
  So, I mean, for me personally,
• 10:34
  it doesn't affect me at all.
• 10:36
  I don't think about it.
• 10:36
  You know,
• 10:37
  it's just something that I don't
• 10:40
  worry about.
• 10:41
  So I can't control it.
• 10:43
  Just look at what I can
• 10:44
  control and focus on that.
• 10:45
  Do you think it puts you at an advantage?
• 10:48
  Do you think it puts, say that again?
• 10:50
  Do you think it puts you at
• 10:51
  a disadvantage?
• 10:52
  Oh, it puts me at a disadvantage.
• 10:56
  Possibly.
• 10:57
  My understanding of what was leaked,
• 10:58
  it was basically the
• 11:00
  workouts with the movements in them.
• 11:02
  They didn't know rep schemes
• 11:03
  or time domains or anything like that.
• 11:06
  I'm not sure if that's accurate or not.
• 11:11
  So I would think the people that had them,
• 11:13
  yes, that could be an advantage for them.
• 11:15
  So in a way it would put me
• 11:17
  slightly at a disadvantage, but yeah,
• 11:20
  I don't like it.
• 11:21
  I don't like that they're
• 11:22
  leaked and that certain people knew.
• 11:27
  But again,
• 11:27
  it's nothing that I can control.
• 11:28
  So not this weekend,
• 11:30
  I don't even spend any time
• 11:31
  thinking about it.
• 11:34
  Because you're in a very tight,
• 11:36
  contested division.
• 11:38
  Now, without 40,
• 11:39
  it probably does not matter
• 11:41
  as much this year until you
• 11:43
  get to the games.
• 11:44
  But I just wanted to get your input.
• 11:46
  Yeah.
• 11:47
  Yeah, you know,
• 11:49
  it's kind of unfortunate
• 11:51
  that that happened and
• 11:52
  unfortunate that someone would do that.
• 11:57
  But, again, for me personally,
• 11:59
  it's nothing that I can do about it.
• 12:00
  So I just focus on what I can do.
• 12:05
  So chaos twins.
• 12:07
  What about you guys?
• 12:10
  Hell, I didn't, I didn't see them.
• 12:11
  It being just four,
• 12:12
  four workouts over the big
• 12:14
  window they gave you.
• 12:15
  I mean, you, there's a big license to redo,
• 12:18
  redo, redo if you want it to,
• 12:19
  especially if you're a,
• 12:21
  if you're a pull endurance person,
• 12:22
  cause that's what kind of got on me.
• 12:23
  I did the muscle up on yesterday and like,
• 12:26
  I didn't think the amount
• 12:28
  of volume just in the
• 12:29
  format of that AMRAP would
• 12:30
  get on me for muscle ups.
• 12:31
  Cause that's like a,
• 12:32
  a good movement for me, but it did.
• 12:35
  And I think, um, just with the, it's very,
• 12:38
  it feels very minimal for
• 12:39
  the amount of workouts.
• 12:40
  So you can't have a bad workout.
• 12:42
  So yeah,
• 12:43
  if I would've got leaked to me
• 12:44
  super early,
• 12:45
  maybe I would've took some
• 12:45
  more shots and had some,
• 12:46
  some early videos.
• 12:48
  Um, but I mean,
• 12:48
  I feel like hell I could
• 12:50
  take the day off and
• 12:50
  probably do two tomorrow and be fine.
• 12:52
  I mean, it's, you know,
• 12:54
  barn like lifestyle and all that stuff,
• 12:56
  but I, uh, I wish they would,
• 12:58
  the leak as far as like
• 12:59
  things getting out of the
• 13:00
  room it makes me like
• 13:02
  talking about how positive
• 13:03
  it is to see them work with
• 13:03
  other people that's
• 13:05
  probably like the you know
• 13:06
  the black eye on it if
• 13:07
  that's the reason that
• 13:08
  things are getting leaked
• 13:09
  out so I would I would hate
• 13:10
  to see that go but it's not
• 13:11
  that big a deal man I mean
• 13:12
  I think it you think like
• 13:14
  the give and take of the
• 13:15
  season and the company and
• 13:16
  the way they used to do
• 13:17
  things like we're getting
• 13:18
  back to sexy open
• 13:19
  announcements and all these
• 13:20
  things and like they'll
• 13:21
  iron this out I mean it
• 13:22
  ain't that big a deal to me
• 13:24
  Does it have to be a last
• 13:26
  minute announcement?
• 13:27
  Like their workouts ahead of semifinals.
• 13:31
  Why can't that be done for age groups too?
• 13:34
  And then it doesn't matter if it's late.
• 13:36
  Cause everybody knows.
• 13:37
  I'll turn around just a little faster.
• 13:39
  I feel like in semifinals last year,
• 13:42
  that's how they did it.
• 13:43
  They, um,
• 13:44
  announced that they announced the
• 13:45
  workouts on Monday and then
• 13:47
  you had your timeframe.
• 13:49
  The timeframes were a lot less last year.
• 13:51
  It was like, um, basically four days.
• 13:54
  Um, you had Friday at noon,
• 13:56
  they were Friday at noon
• 13:57
  till Saturday noon.
• 13:59
  No, it was less even it was two days.
• 14:01
  I don't remember,
• 14:01
  but it was a lot less and they get,
• 14:03
  you had to do passwords, um, last year.
• 14:05
  That was what I was worried
• 14:07
  about or not worried about.
• 14:08
  Yeah.
• 14:09
  They released a workout on Monday,
• 14:10
  which I thought was great,
• 14:12
  especially since you had to
• 14:12
  do four plans and everything like that.
• 14:15
  Um,
• 14:16
  and I liked the shortened timeframe too.
• 14:18
  I don't really like this
• 14:19
  long drawn out timeframe this year.
• 14:21
  It's too much.
• 14:23
  Yeah.
• 14:24
  I think I'll say about the
• 14:25
  long drawn out time frame
• 14:26
  is that it's going to give
• 14:27
  me my foot time enough time
• 14:28
  to try to heal up because I
• 14:29
  still got to do the fourth one.
• 14:32
  the 30-30-30,
• 14:33
  and I want another shot at
• 14:35
  the ring muscle-up one
• 14:36
  because I was at Roy
• 14:38
  Vijay's place at Franco's,
• 14:40
  and I jumped on the long
• 14:42
  straps to try to do that
• 14:44
  one for the first time.
• 14:45
  Yeah, yeah, that face right there, Dex.
• 14:49
  The three and the six went fine,
• 14:51
  and then I got to the nine, dude,
• 14:52
  and I lost tension on the
• 14:53
  strap for one second.
• 14:54
  The whole thing went to doing like this.
• 14:56
  So I ended up...
• 14:58
  Roy was judging me, and he was like,
• 15:00
  we can go on the short straps.
• 15:01
  So the dude that was holding
• 15:02
  my camera and me took off
• 15:04
  across the fucking room to
• 15:06
  go jump on the short straps
• 15:08
  and finish it off.
• 15:11
  But I mean, I want to,
• 15:13
  if I'm feeling good enough tomorrow,
• 15:14
  I'm going to redo that one
• 15:16
  just because I know I can do better.
• 15:17
  I know I'm two minutes
• 15:19
  better than what I was when
• 15:20
  I did it Thursday.
• 15:23
  But yeah, I'm the same way, dude.
• 15:27
  If it's going to get leaked
• 15:29
  and only certain people are
• 15:30
  going to get it,
• 15:31
  then I think that's messed up.
• 15:34
  Not that it gives people
• 15:34
  necessarily a huge
• 15:35
  advantage because I wasn't
• 15:36
  doing most of these once or
• 15:38
  maybe twice anyway.
• 15:40
  But that is an awful long
• 15:42
  time for people to be thinking about it,
• 15:43
  depending on how early they got it,
• 15:46
  and to kind of, okay, well,
• 15:47
  this is the only movements
• 15:48
  I need to worry about.
• 15:49
  I can kind of train around
• 15:50
  whatever I need to leading up to it.
• 15:53
  I just want to make it the
• 15:55
  same for everyone.
• 15:57
  So Jake Chapman says,
• 15:58
  all three of these men
• 16:00
  could have been members of U2.
• 16:00
  Well, that's what I'm like.
• 16:04
  Who's Bono, though?
• 16:06
  Who's Bono?
• 16:07
  I'll be Edge and play the guitar.
• 16:10
  I got it.
• 16:12
  I'll be Bono.
• 16:13
  I'm old in my heart.
• 16:15
  Yeah, but Ryan's got the stache, man.
• 16:17
  He's got the edge.
• 16:19
  Yeah.
• 16:19
  Ryan looks like Edge.
• 16:20
  Good point.
• 16:21
  And I can't play the guitar.
• 16:24
  You got the Larry Mullen looks, man.
• 16:26
  I'm with that.
• 16:27
  I'm with that.
• 16:29
  So the thing I like about
• 16:31
  the shortened time frame
• 16:32
  for the qualifiers is it's
• 16:34
  as close to live events as possible.
• 16:37
  Like with this drawn out thing, you know,
• 16:40
  you can redo workouts multiple times.
• 16:42
  Like there's going to be
• 16:43
  people that are doing workouts three,
• 16:44
  maybe even four times.
• 16:46
  And that's not as close to
• 16:48
  live competition as it can be.
• 16:51
  No, not at all.
• 16:52
  That's what I like about the
• 16:53
  shortened time frame is
• 16:55
  it's closer to live competition.
• 16:56
  I agree with that.
• 16:58
  I think I worried, even quarterfinals,
• 17:03
  right?
• 17:04
  Because I'm used to the
• 17:04
  scrutiny of video reviews.
• 17:06
  I've done semifinals, normal flow,
• 17:09
  or quarterfinals that first year.
• 17:11
  But, dude,
• 17:12
  I'm certain they looked at none
• 17:13
  of my videos.
• 17:14
  Greened them out.
• 17:15
  Cool.
• 17:15
  I felt good about that.
• 17:16
  This part, like Ryan was talking about,
• 17:18
  I thought they would for
• 17:18
  sure do passwords and kind
• 17:21
  of secure this thing down a little.
• 17:23
  Maybe like formalize it a little bit more.
• 17:25
  But I mean, even with the bigger window,
• 17:26
  dude, like, yeah, it is.
• 17:27
  It sucks.
• 17:29
  I mean,
• 17:29
  I think our reference for like kind
• 17:30
  of professionalizing the
• 17:32
  at-home things is
• 17:32
  definitely like the year
• 17:33
  they did the first stage games at home.
• 17:37
  how elaborate that was and
• 17:39
  like so we know that that's
• 17:40
  available right maybe not
• 17:42
  to that extent don't fly
• 17:43
  judges out or whatever they
• 17:44
  did that year that was very
• 17:45
  like you know extreme case
• 17:47
  but like the password thing
• 17:48
  I think is great it's tight
• 17:49
  in time frames I think it's
• 17:50
  getting it as close to
• 17:52
  controllables of the
• 17:53
  environment the time frames
• 17:54
  all that or get it close to
• 17:55
  in in person uh and even
• 17:57
  like the floor plans dude
• 17:58
  like I enjoyed the floor plans
• 18:01
  Uh,
• 18:01
  now I also like being able to put
• 18:03
  everything on top of each other.
• 18:05
  Um, but the floor,
• 18:06
  the floor plans were nice
• 18:07
  as far as like getting his, you know,
• 18:09
  even playing field.
• 18:10
  Corey's got the same
• 18:11
  transitions decks has like right across,
• 18:13
  across everything.
• 18:14
  I thought that was cool.
• 18:15
  So that's the only thing I'd add back.
• 18:16
  And then, you know,
• 18:17
  being my first experience
• 18:18
  going through the semifinals with,
• 18:20
  with master stuff,
• 18:21
  I think you definitely have to,
• 18:22
  I love having a Monday.
• 18:24
  Cause I wanted to, like Corey said,
• 18:25
  I want another shot at the
• 18:26
  ring muscle up one.
• 18:27
  just for unexpected like cumulative stuff,
• 18:29
  which is just they did well
• 18:30
  with the program.
• 18:31
  And I think for the back half.
• 18:34
  But yeah,
• 18:34
  I think the password thing has to
• 18:35
  be and the controllables
• 18:38
  that timeline is where
• 18:38
  they're gonna have to manipulate that.
• 18:41
  Absolutely.
• 18:43
  So Ryan,
• 18:44
  you've been a like a perennial top
• 18:45
  10 games athlete.
• 18:47
  When you're going through these,
• 18:49
  is it almost better to do
• 18:51
  one and done to kind of get
• 18:52
  yourself ready for the games?
• 18:54
  Or is it too important to
• 18:56
  qualify that you'll throw
• 18:58
  in a redo if you have to?
• 19:00
  So a couple thoughts on that.
• 19:02
  First thought is you have to
• 19:05
  separate this from the games.
• 19:05
  This is not the games.
• 19:08
  So you don't treat it like
• 19:09
  you would treat the games.
• 19:12
  I go into it with the
• 19:13
  mindset of ideally you want
• 19:15
  to be one and done.
• 19:16
  Um, I want to do one workout,
• 19:19
  everything I got in that
• 19:20
  workout done with it and move on.
• 19:23
  Um,
• 19:24
  but you want to have a backup plan in
• 19:27
  case it doesn't go well.
• 19:28
  Um,
• 19:29
  and that's the thing about having these
• 19:30
  extended windows is, um, I did, uh,
• 19:34
  number three first, uh,
• 19:36
  because I felt number three
• 19:37
  would probably be my weakest workout, um,
• 19:40
  with the muscle up front squat one.
• 19:43
  And so I did that first just
• 19:44
  to see how it would go, feel it out.
• 19:46
  And hopefully I did as good
• 19:47
  as I could and then be done.
• 19:48
  Um, but it allowed me time to redo it.
• 19:52
  So, so yeah, it's, um, mindset is,
• 19:58
  is try to get it done in one.
• 20:01
  So in other words, Jake Chapman says, uh,
• 20:03
  you do it in the name of love,
• 20:05
  but just in case you still
• 20:07
  haven't found what you're looking for,
• 20:08
  you have, you have that backup plan.
• 20:11
  Yeah.
• 20:15
  So it's funny because, um,
• 20:18
  I went and observed Rudy
• 20:20
  burger doing the workouts this weekend,
• 20:21
  just so I could see them in action.
• 20:24
  Um,
• 20:26
  and be able to talk about them better.
• 20:28
  And really, like,
• 20:29
  I think his plan is just –
• 20:30
  is to go one and done,
• 20:31
  but they do have that
• 20:33
  safety net that if
• 20:35
  something does go horribly wrong,
• 20:37
  he can swing that out.
• 20:39
  But, yeah, he didn't need the safety net.
• 20:45
  I like them forcing the order too, right?
• 20:47
  Like Brian's talking about –
• 20:49
  Cause I did them in order.
• 20:50
  And like the first two,
• 20:52
  I knew I wouldn't have to
• 20:52
  redo the snatch one.
• 20:53
  Just, you know,
• 20:54
  I guess I could still lean
• 20:56
  on age group stuff and
• 20:57
  knowing who's in my group.
• 20:59
  Um, and like that's that couplet for me.
• 21:00
  I knew, uh,
• 21:02
  I thought honestly the ring
• 21:02
  muscle up wouldn't be a strawberry,
• 21:04
  like a super strength for me.
• 21:06
  Uh, just kind of contrast what Ryan said.
• 21:08
  And I got blown up yesterday, man.
• 21:09
  I'll be perfectly honest.
• 21:10
  My lats were dead.
• 21:12
  I definitely thought that I
• 21:13
  would have to redo the
• 21:14
  20-minute AMRAP if I had to
• 21:15
  redo any of them.
• 21:15
  Just God knows me.
• 21:17
  I'm a turn and burn brother.
• 21:19
  I'm a gas pedal guy.
• 21:21
  And so didn't have to redo that one.
• 21:22
  And the one I thought would
• 21:24
  be the kind of slam dunk for me,
• 21:26
  I'm going to do that thing tomorrow.
• 21:28
  And if it was a tighter timeline, no dice.
• 21:33
  Yeah,
• 21:33
  that's the other thing about the
• 21:34
  shortened time frame is it
• 21:36
  almost does force the order.
• 21:38
  Absolutely.
• 21:38
  And with just four, with just four events,
• 21:41
  the margin for, for like a,
• 21:43
  you can't lay an egg one.
• 21:44
  So you've got to, you know,
• 21:45
  I've heard several people
• 21:46
  say it forces you to
• 21:46
  perform across all four.
• 21:47
  And that's absolutely true.
• 21:49
  But then you give away that
• 21:50
  a little bit with the,
• 21:52
  with the lengthy timeline.
• 21:53
  So that's a little give and take, I guess.
• 21:56
  Don't hate it,
• 21:57
  but I don't see him doing it
• 21:58
  like this again next year.
• 22:00
  So can we talk about the
• 22:01
  fact that Dex is hosting a
• 22:04
  cooking show while this is going on?
• 22:06
  I'm about to go do that thruster workout.
• 22:08
  I also just want y'all to
• 22:11
  notice how much I'm
• 22:12
  seasoning this food so I
• 22:13
  can't get the white boy
• 22:14
  jokes and the Louisiana jokes from Corey.
• 22:19
  Are y'all doing a crawfish
• 22:21
  bowl for Mother's Day?
• 22:22
  No, indeed not.
• 22:23
  Crawfish is $5 a fucking pound live.
• 22:27
  Yeah, why is that?
• 22:29
  Because we didn't get enough
• 22:30
  water during the wintertime.
• 22:31
  Water wasn't high enough.
• 22:32
  Crawfish didn't bury low enough.
• 22:33
  Wow.
• 22:36
  Dude, in my 35 years of living,
• 22:38
  I've never heard of that.
• 22:42
  Wow.
• 22:47
  Okay.
• 22:49
  So people don't know,
• 22:50
  Dex used to be on our show
• 22:51
  a ton back in the day.
• 22:53
  And when he was on,
• 22:53
  we used to call it
• 22:54
  Clydesdale After Dark
• 22:55
  because you never knew
• 22:56
  where it was going.
• 22:57
  No, we still don't.
• 22:59
  No, we still don't.
• 23:02
  And it's awesome to have him back, man.
• 23:05
  He's one of my dear friends,
• 23:06
  and I'm just so glad he's
• 23:07
  back on the show.
• 23:08
  My man.
• 23:09
  So now the next thing up is for two of you,
• 23:13
  you're in a qualifying spot
• 23:14
  for the games right now.
• 23:16
  You're going to finish this weekend,
• 23:19
  and then a whole lot of
• 23:20
  stuff's happening in all
• 23:21
  the other CrossFit space,
• 23:23
  and you have to wait until
• 23:24
  Labor Day weekend to go to the games.
• 23:27
  That's a really long window.
• 23:32
  How do you deal with that
• 23:34
  from a training perspective
• 23:35
  once this is over?
• 23:39
  Last year was a very similar time frame.
• 23:44
  The semifinals were a little bit earlier,
• 23:46
  a couple weeks earlier,
• 23:47
  but the games were a couple
• 23:48
  weeks earlier as well.
• 23:51
  So last year,
• 23:52
  you just kind of take some
• 23:54
  time off to recover,
• 23:56
  and then you start building
• 23:59
  back up again.
• 24:00
  So you recover and you make
• 24:03
  a plan for what you're
• 24:04
  going to do and you just
• 24:05
  work on your weaknesses and
• 24:08
  try to build it back up to
• 24:09
  peak again for the games.
• 24:12
  I feel like personally,
• 24:13
  I probably peaked at quarterfinals.
• 24:15
  I'm feeling a little bit
• 24:17
  blah this weekend.
• 24:20
  It's such a short time frame
• 24:21
  between quarterfinals and semifinals.
• 24:23
  It's kind of hard to...
• 24:25
  peak for both and so I think
• 24:26
  I tried I tried to stay at
• 24:28
  that peak and it probably
• 24:29
  didn't work out the best
• 24:30
  for me but um oh dude we
• 24:33
  are we are opposite
• 24:34
  monsters I uh I had a whole
• 24:36
  bunch of life kind of
• 24:37
  happened in the last year
• 24:38
  and I think my give a shit
• 24:40
  I really I'm gonna steal a
• 24:41
  Ben Bergeron quote I
• 24:42
  realized very early on in
• 24:44
  this year I only had so
• 24:45
  many matches to strike so I
• 24:47
  uh I didn't even really start
• 24:50
  I say not training hard.
• 24:51
  That sounds super
• 24:52
  dickheadish and arrogant.
• 24:53
  But like my full attention
• 24:54
  has not been on training
• 24:55
  until they dropped the
• 24:57
  first open workout.
• 24:58
  Well,
• 24:58
  it's because that's what Ryan's saying.
• 25:00
  And Scott knows this to be true.
• 25:02
  I burn it hot.
• 25:03
  And then quarterfinals comes around.
• 25:04
  My give a shit goes.
• 25:07
  But now I felt good through quarterfinals.
• 25:10
  I've been checked in all week.
• 25:11
  I'm also moving into a new home,
• 25:12
  starting a new job.
• 25:14
  So this has actually been
• 25:16
  like the first year where
• 25:17
  it's kind of been the sprinkles on top of,
• 25:19
  you know,
• 25:19
  kind of a shit storm and a
• 25:20
  cupcake at the same time.
• 25:21
  So it's, yeah, man,
• 25:24
  the proximity of the games from this,
• 25:25
  I think, you know, Ryan might agree,
• 25:27
  all the things between now
• 25:28
  if you qualify in the games are fun,
• 25:30
  right?
• 25:30
  We'll get back to weird stuff.
• 25:32
  Not for me.
• 25:33
  I got to get in the pool if I qualify.
• 25:34
  You know, I don't want to do that.
• 25:36
  But
• 25:37
  everything else is kind of
• 25:38
  house money and fun um I'm
• 25:40
  sure ryan's like me I'm
• 25:40
  gonna take a good old you
• 25:41
  can take a healthy two
• 25:42
  weeks off if it's that big
• 25:43
  gap ryan we we recharge the
• 25:45
  batteries so yeah yeah I
• 25:47
  think the gap's exciting
• 25:49
  for me man then it's in
• 25:49
  birmingham I think you know
• 25:51
  I was the dickhead that
• 25:52
  announced that the games
• 25:53
  were going to be on in
• 25:54
  birmingham on morning chalk
• 25:55
  up and like you know had
• 25:58
  had very reputable sources
• 25:59
  saw the paperwork yada yada but it just
• 26:02
  I imagine they drove through
• 26:03
  downtown Birmingham and said, hey,
• 26:04
  this is not the place for
• 26:06
  the CrossFit game.
• 26:08
  But I lived in Fort Worth for a year.
• 26:12
  I think that was actually
• 26:13
  the first time I was on Scott's show, and
• 26:16
  I love Fort Worth, man.
• 26:17
  They're going to have a great time.
• 26:18
  We're going to have a great
• 26:19
  time in Birmingham facilities-wise.
• 26:20
  It's right next to a Topgolf,
• 26:22
  so we can go do events,
• 26:23
  and then at night go drink
• 26:25
  margaritas and hit Topgolf balls maybe.
• 26:27
  I don't know how this whole
• 26:28
  group parties yet,
• 26:29
  but if it's like Masters
• 26:30
  Fitness Collective,
• 26:31
  we'll have a good time.
• 26:32
  I'm going to tell you boys this for sure.
• 26:36
  Even – I mean, to be honest,
• 26:39
  I'm 99% not going to qualify,
• 26:41
  but I'm probably still coming anyway.
• 26:42
  Yeah, you're going to come.
• 26:43
  Yeah, yeah.
• 26:45
  I'm going to take Dex's
• 26:47
  coach's pass and be back
• 26:48
  there and make sure I keep him in line.
• 26:50
  No, no, no, no, no.
• 26:51
  You're going to be part of
• 26:52
  Clydesdale media, man.
• 26:53
  We're going to be covering
• 26:53
  this thing behind the scenes.
• 26:56
  You know what, Corey?
• 26:57
  I need your interviewing skills.
• 26:59
  Yeah, yeah.
• 27:00
  And then Corey can be like
• 27:02
  me when everybody says, wait, wait,
• 27:03
  say that one more time.
• 27:04
  Wait, wait, wait, say that one more time.
• 27:07
  Yeah, that's funny.
• 27:11
  What did you say?
• 27:12
  I love it.
• 27:15
  Shut up.
• 27:16
  So, so I know Dex has some more to do.
• 27:19
  I know Corey's got some more to do.
• 27:20
  Ryan,
• 27:20
  you done or you got to hand the barn
• 27:22
  or you got more to do?
• 27:25
  I have done all four.
• 27:26
  I am debating whether I redo
• 27:29
  one of the last ones tomorrow or not.
• 27:32
  I think I have three pretty
• 27:34
  good scores and one,
• 27:37
  average score.
• 27:37
  So it's just going to be,
• 27:39
  do I want to redo that
• 27:40
  average score and try for better?
• 27:41
  I don't know if I can do better or not,
• 27:42
  but, um, so.
• 27:46
  What's your math for
• 27:48
  deciding if you redo or not, right?
• 27:49
  Like I think most of the time people know,
• 27:51
  Hey, I can only,
• 27:52
  I need a certain amount of points X, Y, Z,
• 27:54
  or I have to stay within this, uh,
• 27:56
  placing range.
• 27:57
  Do you do that to decide if
• 27:59
  you're going to redo it or do you,
• 28:00
  you know?
• 28:00
  Yeah, definitely.
• 28:01
  I,
• 28:02
  I'm the person that talks to everybody
• 28:03
  else too and tells them, okay,
• 28:05
  what'd you do on that?
• 28:06
  I think that's where you're
• 28:07
  going to finish then.
• 28:08
  I kind of feel like I have a
• 28:10
  handle on where I'm going
• 28:11
  to end up with these scores.
• 28:14
  Cut the recording off, Scott.
• 28:16
  We're not live anymore.
• 28:18
  He's going to help me with the math.
• 28:23
  Yes, that does affect it a little bit.
• 28:27
  I feel like I have the time
• 28:28
  to do it since we have extra time.
• 28:31
  I feel good.
• 28:33
  My body feels good.
• 28:34
  Why not try it again?
• 28:35
  It's kind of where I'm at
• 28:36
  So I don't know.
• 28:38
  I don't know if I'll improve
• 28:39
  or how much I'll improve on it,
• 28:40
  but might as well try it again.
• 28:41
  That's it.
• 28:42
  Yeah.
• 28:42
  Hey, you got time.
• 28:43
  Shoot your shot.
• 28:43
  I mean,
• 28:44
  what's it going to hurt at this point?
• 28:45
  Yeah, exactly.
• 28:47
  I just, I want to get,
• 28:48
  I want to qualify top half
• 28:49
  and I feel like the last two I can,
• 28:51
  I just, uh, I know the middle one.
• 28:54
  Cause honestly,
• 28:55
  I was super surprised that
• 28:56
  I let out last night when they came out.
• 28:58
  So it's, uh, you know,
• 29:00
  kind of house money for me
• 29:01
  here so I can shoot some
• 29:02
  shots and be comfortable wherever I land.
• 29:03
  But, um,
• 29:05
  Yeah, dude,
• 29:06
  I'd love to hear what the math is,
• 29:07
  though.
• 29:09
  I wish I had that nerd thinking process.
• 29:11
  So the audience knows, Ryan,
• 29:14
  you're sitting top 10, I think,
• 29:16
  eighth today.
• 29:17
  Oh, come on.
• 29:18
  That was nice, yeah.
• 29:20
  Come on, Big Daddy.
• 29:21
  Dex is in 28th.
• 29:23
  Hell yeah, brother.
• 29:24
  And Corey, we're just proud of you, man.
• 29:28
  Hey, man.
• 29:28
  Hey, Corey's having a damn fine time.
• 29:30
  You understand?
• 29:31
  I can't lose.
• 29:32
  This is why I messed up, Corey.
• 29:34
  When I asked you,
• 29:36
  you were kicking my ass
• 29:37
  because I've seen your name
• 29:38
  so much and now I know where it is.
• 29:39
  Me and you both are talking
• 29:40
  mad shit and everybody's
• 29:42
  live YouTube things.
• 29:44
  We're just there talking
• 29:45
  shit the whole time.
• 29:46
  It's Corey and me.
• 29:47
  That's funny.
• 29:54
  Tristan Patrick says, Dex,
• 29:57
  unbroken or bought on four?
• 29:59
  On four?
• 30:00
  You're an idiot.
• 30:01
  No.
• 30:01
  I'm a grip guy.
• 30:03
  So 115 is like a landmine
• 30:05
  you could step in, right?
• 30:06
  You're going to do those
• 30:06
  first five cleans and feel real good,
• 30:08
  tempted to hang on to it.
• 30:09
  And then you go hop up to do
• 30:10
  a toast bar and have the old T-Rex arms.
• 30:13
  I think it is.
• 30:15
  smart athlete dependent on the first part.
• 30:19
  Toes to bars, toes to bars.
• 30:20
  If you're doing more than two sets,
• 30:21
  you're probably not in the mix, maybe,
• 30:24
  I would say.
• 30:25
  I think that number is just
• 30:26
  right on the line of you
• 30:28
  probably could do it
• 30:29
  unbroken if you're a jerk,
• 30:30
  but you should not because
• 30:31
  you're going to have to die
• 30:32
  on the last bar.
• 30:33
  Like I think Brian said earlier,
• 30:34
  you're going to make a
• 30:34
  decision in that 30 if you
• 30:36
  want to go or if you want
• 30:37
  to stay ass at home.
• 30:40
  No, definitely.
• 30:41
  If it was an affiliate class,
• 30:43
  smoke them if you got them.
• 30:46
  Somebody told me the other day, Scott,
• 30:48
  that I pace really well,
• 30:49
  and I'm just riding with
• 30:50
  that because no one's ever
• 30:51
  said that to me before in
• 30:52
  my entire CrossFit life.
• 30:54
  And so he watched me do that
• 30:56
  20-minute AMRAP, and he said, man,
• 30:58
  you pace so good.
• 31:00
  I said, hold on.
• 31:00
  Let me get my phone.
• 31:01
  Say that again.
• 31:04
  What that translates to is
• 31:05
  you're just not fit,
• 31:06
  and you're slow the whole way through.
• 31:07
  No, no.
• 31:08
  Look, I went –
• 31:10
  I almost got 10,
• 31:11
  and the only reason I didn't, I had two,
• 31:13
  like, weird jumps on the box,
• 31:15
  and I kicked double unders once.
• 31:17
  I was probably – I was a set
• 31:19
  of hands that pushed up the way,
• 31:20
  and I did the last two rounds unbroken.
• 31:22
  I've never felt good about pace and stuff,
• 31:26
  and I felt real good about that one.
• 31:27
  When it came out and it said
• 31:28
  20-minute AMRAP at the top,
• 31:30
  I didn't even need to read
• 31:31
  what was under it because
• 31:32
  that time domain has always
• 31:33
  been what gives me trouble, right?
• 31:34
  Like, skills-wise, density or whatever,
• 31:36
  I'm always pretty cash
• 31:37
  money for whatever is, like, in-house.
• 31:40
  But when we get outside of that, you know,
• 31:42
  nine to 12-minute range
• 31:43
  where it ain't so sexy,
• 31:44
  it's not just hurting.
• 31:45
  Now it's planning.
• 31:47
  I've not in the past been
• 31:48
  that athletically mature.
• 31:49
  And so I'd like to think
• 31:50
  that that's kind of the
• 31:51
  thing we're picking up late in the game.
• 31:52
  So I was pumped about it.
• 31:55
  The last two are going to be fun.
• 31:56
  I'm definitely glad I get to
• 31:57
  take another shot at the muscle-up one.
• 31:59
  just because, you know, I can.
• 32:01
  But the last one's going to be fun.
• 32:03
  I love one where, like,
• 32:04
  the skill is hurting and
• 32:05
  it's not that much.
• 32:06
  It's like,
• 32:07
  can you hold your hand on the stove?
• 32:08
  And so, yeah, it'll be fun.
• 32:11
  So Tristan actually says I'm
• 32:12
  giving you shit.
• 32:13
  Obviously a bad idea.
• 32:14
  No, man,
• 32:15
  let me unpack that because I
• 32:16
  wanted to do it unbroken.
• 32:17
  That was my suggestion to
• 32:19
  myself when I was told otherwise.
• 32:22
  I had lots of risks.
• 32:24
  I could do this like an e-bomb.
• 32:25
  Idiot.
• 32:28
  Yeah, you could do it like an Iman,
• 32:30
  but you should not do it like an Iman.
• 32:34
  But our age groups, dude, 35, 39 is dogs.
• 32:37
  It's all dogs.
• 32:39
  Because there's some guys like Bratislava,
• 32:43
  there's some cats in there
• 32:44
  that I have no clue who
• 32:45
  takes an invite and who
• 32:46
  doesn't in this age group.
• 32:48
  Sam Dancer, you understand?
• 32:50
  No, so Sammy's going to be the oldest.
• 32:55
  But you can do both this year.
• 32:58
  I hate that for me personally,
• 33:01
  but it'll be cool to keep the show alive,
• 33:04
  I guess.
• 33:05
  I don't really know.
• 33:06
  Being able to do both is wild.
• 33:09
  I think Sam Dancer's going
• 33:10
  to do the toes-to-bar while
• 33:11
  holding on to the barbell.
• 33:12
  Right,
• 33:12
  while he's doing cleans at the same time.
• 33:15
  That's right.
• 33:16
  That's what I was going to say,
• 33:17
  the difference between age groups there,
• 33:19
  Dexter.
• 33:19
  You're age group 35-39.
• 33:20
  You're talking about maybe
• 33:21
  one break on the
• 33:22
  toes-to-bar or something like that.
• 33:23
  I'm like...
• 33:24
  I took four breaks on the toes to bar.
• 33:26
  Three breaks, I guess.
• 33:28
  That sounded mad disrespectful.
• 33:31
  It's very different.
• 33:34
  The key is the thrusters, though,
• 33:36
  on that workout.
• 33:37
  That workout's all about the thrusters.
• 33:38
  Yeah, I think so, too.
• 33:39
  How bad do you want to hurt on thrusters?
• 33:42
  I hate thrusters,
• 33:43
  and it only being 30 at 115
• 33:44
  makes me infinitely happier.
• 33:47
  That'll be more fun.
• 33:49
  That's cool.
• 33:50
  Sometimes they're not all fun, man,
• 33:52
  and these...
• 33:53
  All four of these workouts have been fun.
• 33:56
  Like, I haven't done the last one yet,
• 33:57
  but up until this point, they've all been,
• 33:59
  like, a good time.
• 34:00
  They hurt.
• 34:01
  They're well-constructed.
• 34:02
  So hats off to Buddy if he
• 34:05
  worked with them and they
• 34:06
  didn't alter him too much
• 34:07
  because I really enjoyed this.
• 34:09
  And more so, there's nothing new and sexy.
• 34:12
  It's classic CrossFit.
• 34:13
  And, like, I miss that.
• 34:15
  I miss that when it's not –
• 34:17
  you know, weird nuanced stuff,
• 34:18
  trying to reinvent the wheel,
• 34:19
  like classic CrossFit.
• 34:20
  That's what I thought for sure.
• 34:21
  It was like a Dave thing.
• 34:22
  Um, so it's been,
• 34:23
  it's been refreshing to me.
• 34:25
  So Kenneth DeLapp asks a question.
• 34:27
  Is hurting a skill or a sign
• 34:30
  of mental capacity?
• 34:31
  Both.
• 34:32
  That's both.
• 34:33
  Both.
• 34:33
  Neither.
• 34:34
  Yeah.
• 34:35
  Neither?
• 34:37
  Either.
• 34:38
  Oh, I was like, Oh God, get him.
• 34:40
  Yeah.
• 34:41
  I, uh, yeah.
• 34:43
  I told somebody the other day, like, uh,
• 34:45
  i was like I came out of
• 34:46
  football and I could sprint
• 34:48
  rest sprint always so I had
• 34:50
  that hurt the anything
• 34:52
  outside of of that I was
• 34:55
  never used to doing and so
• 34:56
  like you know when you
• 34:57
  don't know any better and
• 34:58
  you think more volume is
• 34:59
  better uh every night I'd
• 35:00
  grow like five by 500
• 35:02
  meters as hard as I could
• 35:03
  on damper 10 with two
• 35:04
  minute rest and alternate
• 35:06
  that with like bike sprints
• 35:07
  throw up things just to
• 35:09
  make myself tougher so like
• 35:10
  you can develop it for sure
• 35:11
  and there's a way better
• 35:12
  way to go about it than that
• 35:14
  Meeting people that have it,
• 35:15
  like Brandon Luckett,
• 35:17
  Alex is one of them.
• 35:18
  It's weird that it's mostly wrestlers.
• 35:20
  Chandler, people like that.
• 35:22
  They're always sickos.
• 35:24
  Sickos, see?
• 35:25
  Knew it.
• 35:26
  I like to say that I was the
• 35:27
  type of kid that
• 35:28
  would pound the square peg
• 35:29
  through the round hole, you know?
• 35:33
  I'm just going to keep doing
• 35:34
  it and keep doing it.
• 35:35
  I don't, I don't know any better.
• 35:36
  So yeah.
• 35:38
  And I wrestled,
• 35:38
  I wrestled through college and beyond.
• 35:40
  So yeah.
• 35:41
  Well, I'm jealous.
• 35:42
  We didn't have wrestling.
• 35:44
  You mentioned Brandon.
• 35:47
  Cause he told us not that long ago.
• 35:48
  He's like,
• 35:48
  I'll call for a blood on the
• 35:49
  floor before I stop.
• 35:51
  Straight up.
• 35:52
  I've witnessed it, dude.
• 35:53
  When I used to work for Misfit,
• 35:54
  it was Brandon's first or second year,
• 35:56
  his sweet baby angel.
• 35:59
  And, yeah,
• 36:00
  he's been a sicko his whole life.
• 36:01
  People act surprised that he's fit, dude.
• 36:04
  I have a video of the kid.
• 36:05
  I have a video when the kid
• 36:06
  popped his elbow in the
• 36:07
  snatch ladder at West Coast
• 36:08
  Classic in slow motion,
• 36:11
  and he took an elephant
• 36:12
  dose of ibuprofen the rest
• 36:13
  of the weekend and still qualified.
• 36:15
  Like, yeah, Dr. Brandon's a sicko.
• 36:17
  Yeah.
• 36:22
  He's completely out of his mind,
• 36:23
  and I love it.
• 36:24
  Yeah, great guy.
• 36:25
  Great guy.
• 36:26
  Great guy.
• 36:27
  Sicko.
• 36:28
  Well, guys, this has been a blast.
• 36:30
  I invited a bunch of people on.
• 36:32
  A lot of people are doing
• 36:33
  the workout right at this time.
• 36:36
  Bunch of nerds.
• 36:37
  Bunch of nerds.
• 36:38
  I'm going this afternoon.
• 36:40
  It's fine.
• 36:41
  Well, good thing I'm in the Central.
• 36:43
  I live in the Pacific time coast,
• 36:44
  but I'm in the Central time
• 36:45
  coast doing the workouts,
• 36:46
  so it works out.
• 36:47
  Where are you at, Ron?
• 36:48
  Where are you at, Ron?
• 36:50
  I'm at Mayhem right now.
• 36:52
  Oh, how dare you?
• 36:53
  Go use the bathroom and don't flush it.
• 36:58
  I'm just kidding.
• 36:58
  They're nice people.
• 36:59
  Don't do that.
• 37:03
  Quick question then, Ryan.
• 37:04
  So you're at Mayhem.
• 37:05
  It looks like you're in that back room.
• 37:07
  Yeah, correct.
• 37:08
  So as a Masters athlete,
• 37:09
  do you get access to that
• 37:11
  as much as an elite athlete?
• 37:13
  Yeah.
• 37:14
  I mean, this weekend,
• 37:15
  for the people that came out here,
• 37:17
  it's full access.
• 37:19
  Full access, yeah.
• 37:20
  I mean,
• 37:20
  we have to work a little bit around
• 37:21
  some times and stuff,
• 37:22
  but it's been unbelievable.
• 37:24
  How many people are there?
• 37:27
  So there's probably 20 to 30
• 37:30
  age group athletes total.
• 37:32
  Maybe a core of 15 to 20
• 37:34
  that were here the whole time.
• 37:35
  Something like that.
• 37:38
  Including teenagers.
• 37:38
  Yep.
• 37:39
  That's my other one of my own boys.
• 37:44
  Louisiana right there.
• 37:46
  Yeah, you're doing well.
• 37:48
  I think he's going to do it.
• 37:50
  I think he's going to do it.
• 37:53
  And, uh, right.
• 37:53
  And, uh, geez, Ryan, not right.
• 37:56
  Um, Corey,
• 37:57
  you're doing it at the Southland
• 37:58
  kind of group area, right?
• 38:00
  Yeah.
• 38:00
  I did the first three over there.
• 38:02
  Um, with, with, uh,
• 38:04
  with Roy and another guy that came down,
• 38:07
  it's in 45, 49.
• 38:07
  Um,
• 38:09
  we started on Wednesday or got there on
• 38:11
  Wednesday, uh,
• 38:12
  Did two of them on Thursday.
• 38:13
  Ended up taking Friday off.
• 38:15
  Went back Saturday morning
• 38:17
  and just punished myself
• 38:19
  for 20 minutes doing double
• 38:20
  unders on a bad foot.
• 38:21
  And I'm going to do the –
• 38:25
  The last one at my gym,
• 38:27
  just because I'm not
• 38:28
  driving all the way back in
• 38:28
  an hour and a half,
• 38:29
  just to go work out for
• 38:30
  five minutes on that last one.
• 38:32
  And then, like I said,
• 38:34
  depending on how I feel,
• 38:35
  I'll probably try to knock out or redo,
• 38:38
  rather,
• 38:38
  that ring muscle-up on tomorrow evening,
• 38:41
  like after I get off work,
• 38:43
  just because I know I can do better.
• 38:44
  And if I got enough time to
• 38:45
  get it in or out of the window,
• 38:46
  I'm going to try it one more time.
• 38:48
  What's that window for us, Corey?
• 38:50
  We're all central.
• 38:51
  Is that like –
• 38:54
  Same as Saturday, 7 o'clock Central Time.
• 38:57
  Gonzales, Louisiana.
• 39:02
  That's right.
• 39:03
  Ryan,
• 39:03
  you enjoy Cracker Barrel and all the
• 39:05
  things that they have to offer there.
• 39:07
  McAllister's and Cracker Barrel,
• 39:09
  and that's it.
• 39:11
  Yeah, all of those.
• 39:14
  Dex, you lone wolfing it?
• 39:16
  Yeah, dude.
• 39:17
  I actually just started
• 39:18
  working at an Iron Tribe,
• 39:20
  which is awesome.
• 39:21
  It's been a really odd,
• 39:23
  kind of refreshing thing
• 39:24
  for me fitness-wise at work.
• 39:27
  But yeah, dude,
• 39:28
  I've done all of them alone.
• 39:29
  I've been training by myself,
• 39:31
  and I'm sick of it.
• 39:32
  So if people live close to Alabama,
• 39:34
  Huntsville,
• 39:35
  about an hour and a half north
• 39:37
  of Birmingham or wherever, dog,
• 39:39
  come get down.
• 39:41
  If I knew y'all were at Mayhem, Ron,
• 39:42
  I would have scooted up.
• 39:43
  It ain't that far to drive.
• 39:44
  Yeah.
• 39:46
  But, yeah, man, it's – Well,
• 39:47
  I got your old coach here
• 39:48
  walking around too.
• 39:50
  Who?
• 39:51
  Michael McElroy.
• 39:52
  Oh, that's my first coach ever, man.
• 39:54
  Great guy.
• 39:54
  That's what he said.
• 39:55
  He was walking by.
• 39:57
  You didn't see him.
• 39:57
  He was looking at the camera
• 39:58
  in the background trying to
• 39:58
  get you to see him, but you couldn't.
• 40:00
  I love Mike, man.
• 40:02
  He is a kind and gentle man.
• 40:05
  He met a real asshole Dex in college,
• 40:07
  and he was very gentle with me.
• 40:09
  And us kind of being in the
• 40:10
  space together has been
• 40:11
  really cool for a few years, man.
• 40:12
  I enjoy Mike.
• 40:13
  Yeah.

  Well, guys, this has been a blast.
