Tyler & John Take Over | TFX, CrossFit Open & More · The Spin Podcast

• 0:01
  Hey, did I hear you're doing the open?
• 0:04
  I'm signing up for the Open because it's my yearly chance to
• 0:07
  display my dominance to all my friends and enemies.
• 0:10
  At the CrossFit affiliate. And on the leaderboard, I'm in
• 0:14
  for the open because I don't have any friends outside of
• 0:16
  CrossFit, so I know all my friends will be at the gym doing
• 0:19
  the same workouts with me. I'm in for the open because I
• 0:23
  love competition and this is my yearly benchmark to see my
• 0:27
  progress. Never mind.
• 0:56
  Don't do it. Don't do it.
• 1:33
  Welcome to the spin. And we are screwed because
• 1:38
  spin's not going to be here. No spin is the way he works
• 1:43
  every now and again, I think, on stuff other than the barbell
• 1:47
  spin. And so that's where he is.
• 1:49
  And he left John and I to handle the shift.
• 1:53
  And we thought about canceling. We did, but last year we were 51
• 1:58
  out of 52 weeks and that eats at us a little bit.
• 2:01
  So even if the show is terrible, we're going 52 for 52.
• 2:06
  Hey, sometimes you just get base hits, just base hits.
• 2:09
  Grant, if you're if you're good, we might send you a link.
• 2:15
  Are we able to? Are we able to pull up the
• 2:16
  topics? No 'cause we didn't prep those
• 2:21
  ahead. I thought Spin said they're all
• 2:23
  set. No, he just said that he was
• 2:25
  going to make the background graphic.
• 2:28
  But it's OK, we got plenty of topics to talk about.
• 2:32
  I'll start off with well John, how was your week this week?
• 2:36
  Anything exciting happened at the gym?
• 2:41
  My weekend was good, I had we did the fittest experience me
• 2:44
  and them some of my ladies that I trained.
• 2:48
  How'd the how'd the ladies do before we talk about your
• 2:50
  performance? So the they all jumped up a
• 2:56
  level. So I only had I had one girl
• 3:00
  make rookie last year and then she made intermediate this year.
• 3:04
  She was the last one and and she was rocking on like like 5th to
• 3:09
  last, 4th to last place in that went in the actual competition
• 3:15
  again, back filled in like like this is as long as she's doing
• 3:19
  her best, like we're all good, right, And then the snatch is
• 3:24
  the last event. Sure.
• 3:27
  The most she snatched is 130. The most she snatched in the
• 3:32
  last like six months is 125. Like, and then she ends up
• 3:38
  snatching 135 PRS and like it's like and like she like it's hard
• 3:45
  to get her to like calm down technically, like once the
• 3:50
  weights gets heavy, she wants to get a run at it.
• 3:52
  And it's it's it's so like that hinders her when it comes to
• 3:55
  maxing out. And I don't have no idea where
• 3:59
  this power came from because she was power snatching 125.
• 4:02
  But anyway, PR it's a great day. Snatches her highest event
• 4:07
  placement, but last place snatched like 1:40 or 1:45 and
• 4:12
  she ended up last place by one point, which is crazy because
• 4:16
  because like she did great, it's just the other girl's just
• 4:19
  better. Did she?
• 4:21
  Handle it well. Was she like?
• 4:22
  Yeah, yeah, no, I'm like, she was bummed out.
• 4:25
  But like, again, the jump from rookie to intermediate is like,
• 4:29
  it's a big, it's a big jump. Like the, you know, instead of
• 4:32
  70 people, there's 50 people, right?
• 4:36
  Same thing with like RX instead of 50 people, there's 30 people,
• 4:39
  right? Like it's, it's, it's just, no,
• 4:42
  it's just the other girls are just better at she even the fact
• 4:45
  that she even made intermediate is like a huge jump in her
• 4:48
  fitness. And then I had four other girls
• 4:50
  who made the rookie division and for the most part, they all did
• 4:57
  exactly what they should do. Like the like the big thing for
• 5:01
  them with the fittest experience, 'cause this is
• 5:04
  biggest competition they're gonna do like, like there's just
• 5:07
  is for them to just execute what their capabilities is all that
• 5:13
  we can ask for. And for the most part, everybody
• 5:15
  did that. I did have one girl.
• 5:17
  So we'll, we'll bleed in my performance real quick.
• 5:23
  So I was I was the last place or second or last place the entire
• 5:28
  time until the until the snatch. But but when I tell you it was
• 5:37
  like the Hatfield in the 20 in the CrossFit Games, like
• 5:40
  everything that could go wrong went wrong like it was, it was
• 5:44
  wild and. Was it?
• 5:46
  Well, we'll get into that. Now, I was much fitter when I
• 5:49
  did the qualifier because it was in October and I still thought
• 5:56
  that we were going to have quarterfinals and all this
• 5:59
  stuff. And then they said the 1% thing
• 6:01
  and then the grid league opportunity came.
• 6:02
  And then I was like, OK, well, I'm just going to try to get as
• 6:05
  strong as I can, right? And man, I knew I wasn't as fit,
• 6:11
  but I didn't know it left me that quick.
• 6:13
  Like it was really bad. I was, it wasn't that everybody
• 6:16
  was so good. I was just, I'm just not as fit
• 6:20
  as I was and. Well.
• 6:23
  And then so we there we had a AA double workout where there was a
• 6:27
  sandbag workout, a sandbag cleans, sandbag squats and then
• 6:32
  bar muscle up and into a bike workout. 3 rounds, 30 cows,
• 6:38
  15129 burpees in between. I'm pretty good on a bike.
• 6:42
  I was, my game plan was slow and steady in the sandbag.
• 6:46
  And then you need to hammer the bike workout like hard, like
• 6:49
  'cause that you get good points in that workout.
• 6:53
  The judge that I had in the sandbag workout, he made every
• 6:57
  clean. I had to like wait for him to
• 6:59
  count, right? So it was one to seven.
• 7:02
  So you do 2 sandbag cleans, 2 squats, 2 bar muscle UPS 333444
• 7:08
  and I put my hand out and just wait for him and then he one and
• 7:12
  then I went 2 and like it was so slight like like.
• 7:17
  It's too obnoxious. You were like, come on it.
• 7:19
  Was really bad. There was one I went like and
• 7:22
  then went right into it. He said no Rep.
• 7:23
  Then I had to get it back to wait for him and he was just
• 7:27
  wanted me to wait for him to say the number and and that's fine.
• 7:31
  Like sometimes you get judges like that.
• 7:33
  It's it's OK. Like you, you should be fit
• 7:35
  enough that you can overcome it. But I just knew what that
• 7:37
  workout was going to be the second that started happening.
• 7:41
  And then there was one like on sandbag squats, I'm bouncing off
• 7:45
  the floor like I'm it's not, there's not like it's not like a
• 7:49
  heavy squat where you're trying to hit parallel perfectly.
• 7:51
  Like I'm bouncing, OK, It's hamstring calves.
• 7:54
  And you no Rep me on depth one time.
• 7:56
  And I'm like, this is just going to be really bad.
• 8:00
  Like, and so and so I'm just, but still just slow and
• 8:02
  methodical. It's just, I know I'm not going
• 8:04
  to get the score that I wanted in that workout.
• 8:08
  Then you get to the bike workout.
• 8:11
  I held about 7172 for the first for the 1st 30 cows.
• 8:17
  The game plan was 70 at 25 cows. My judge said go, go, go.
• 8:24
  And I looked at him. I'm like, you sure?
• 8:26
  And then he was like go, go, go. And so I was like, oh, I'm gonna
• 8:30
  get to cheat a little bit here 'cause and then and then I ran
• 8:33
  to the worm. So I get off my I get off my
• 8:36
  bike and then when I as I'm going to the worm to do the
• 8:39
  burpees over he calls me back and tells me I have to do 5 more
• 8:43
  cows and that he made a mistake. And when I tell you these 5
• 8:49
  cows, I tried to. Go with the cheese.
• 8:51
  For some reason, like blew my legs up so bad.
• 8:55
  Like it was why, you know how like as soon as you get off,
• 8:59
  like lactic acid kind of fills your legs, but you got the
• 9:01
  burpees to clear it out a little bit.
• 9:04
  And then it just hit me so hard and then it was really hard to
• 9:08
  get it back. Second round, I was a bit of a
• 9:10
  punk. Third round when I kicked it, I
• 9:12
  didn't have the kick that I hadn't practiced And, and I, I
• 9:17
  mean, it was, it was bad. I wasn't going to go.
• 9:20
  I said, Are you sure we're supposed to follow the judge's
• 9:24
  commands? And I said art like I was trying
• 9:27
  to say, I'm pretty sure it's 30, but.
• 9:30
  You gave you gave him an opportunity to correct you're.
• 9:33
  Like he's. You're going to go down.
• 9:35
  I'm going. To go go right and hey Cara
• 9:38
  Saunders went through the line at 72 squats, you know what I
• 9:44
  mean and what turn and I was going to I was the first one off
• 9:47
  the bike even with that, even with that error, if you will,
• 9:53
  but like that cost me maybe 10 seconds on top of the extra blow
• 9:57
  up that you get with your legs trying to.
• 9:59
  Restart the bike, Yeah. And then it and then it, it man,
• 10:03
  it just, it just didn't go good after that and then.
• 10:07
  We haven't seen Black John Young in a minute.
• 10:09
  Yeah, we haven't. We haven't.
• 10:10
  I started, I started cheating a bit and Black John Young shows
• 10:13
  up. Huh.
• 10:13
  Look at that. Welcome back.
• 10:16
  Anyway, so then, so like I would have scored much higher on those
• 10:22
  events. Like even I usually do better in
• 10:25
  the competition than I do in practice.
• 10:27
  If I just did what I didn't practice, I would have won the
• 10:30
  heat, which instead I was like like on the bottom of the heat.
• 10:35
  I I think it would have been like like 15th or 15th and 19th
• 10:40
  place. I forgot which one it was, but
• 10:41
  15th and 19th place for that event.
• 10:45
  So I would have been like 40 points higher.
• 10:47
  So I wasn't going to be second to last or first or last place
• 10:51
  going into the last. The last year.
• 10:55
  Overall, 31st, I think, yeah, 31st.
• 10:58
  You were like what, 35th this year?
• 11:01
  There were there were 38th there, but there were 20, There
• 11:03
  were 30 extra people last year. Yeah.
• 11:09
  So every 40th place that's like middle of the pack, right,
• 11:13
  right. And no, again, I, I was lucky to
• 11:21
  make the RX qualifier this year just because they shortened it a
• 11:24
  bunch. But it just hit me double, like
• 11:27
  it was a combination of me being less fit and I got, I feel like
• 11:32
  I got shafted on those two workouts and then the other, the
• 11:36
  rest of it's just like, it's no excuses, but that's just what
• 11:39
  happened. Really you could look at it kind
• 11:41
  of in the positive and be like, I've actually pulled back and I
• 11:44
  still made RX and I still like was around the same place that I
• 11:48
  was last year. And so yeah, I wouldn't, I
• 11:53
  wouldn't be too upset about that.
• 11:54
  Also, like with a whole basically a whole nother group
• 11:57
  in the RX division, some of the people at the top who would have
• 12:01
  had worse workouts probably didn't get punished nearly as
• 12:04
  much as they would have. You see what I'm saying?
• 12:07
  Yeah, with with more. People with a bigger field.
• 12:10
  Yeah, but this is everybody's. Everybody's dealing with the
• 12:15
  same things. I have.
• 12:16
  No like, like it is what it is. I'm not as fit as I was knocked
• 12:19
  over. I understand that.
• 12:21
  But. It was no, I think.
• 12:22
  It was cool. It was a combination of things,
• 12:24
  though, is what I'm trying to say.
• 12:27
  I do it. So this is one of my Grid League
• 12:28
  teammates right here and he he thrustered 325.
• 12:35
  It's pretty impressive. That's kind of crazy.
• 12:38
  Yeah, he did that. He did that.
• 12:40
  And I was like, then somebody's asked me, can you, can you, can
• 12:44
  you do more than that? And I was like, I don't know,
• 12:46
  that's a lot. I was like, maybe, but I don't,
• 12:50
  I don't know. I can't say for sure.
• 12:53
  That's cool. Well, to take a break from that
• 12:57
  wanted to do. We're done with that.
• 12:58
  Well, I wanted I. We'll come back to TFX because
• 13:01
  I'm I'm still not going to talk about it, but I do want to do
• 13:04
  like all of the service shit that I'm trying to act to spend
• 13:06
  tonight. Register for the open.
• 13:09
  I know we had an ad at the beginning.
• 13:12
  We're getting closer to be on track with open sign up.
• 13:14
  So Gil to all your friends. I've noticed at the gym we've
• 13:18
  had a huge increase of like younger, like teenage or college
• 13:22
  members. And so like that's and it's the
• 13:24
  first time it's been like that at our gym in three years.
• 13:26
  So I was stoked to see that. So make sure you tell everybody
• 13:29
  sign up for the open. Also buy yourself some frog
• 13:32
  grips. You'd use code spin all caps
• 13:35
  spin. Somebody was asking me that last
• 13:38
  week and I was like, I think it's spin 15.
• 13:39
  She's like didn't work. And I was like, OK, try spin 10.
• 13:42
  And then I had to message spin and be like, what the hell is
• 13:45
  the code? Is it?
• 13:47
  So get yourself some of those before the open starts.
• 13:52
  Buy the cheater grips. I don't care if you get no Rep
• 13:54
  for them. No buy the cheater grips.
• 13:56
  Just just do it. The the Elite grips.
• 14:01
  Toasted bar chestevar, they help out a ton.
• 14:05
  Bar muscle UPS, not so much. Yeah, I don't, I don't love
• 14:08
  them. Yeah, and you and you just stick
• 14:11
  Mandy. You stick though toasted bar
• 14:13
  Chestevar. Unless you have like a really
• 14:16
  vertical bar muscle up and then you'll.
• 14:18
  Be OK unless you're a strict bar muscle, right?
• 14:22
  Yeah, I guess it helps with strict bar muscles.
• 14:25
  I wanted to do a little viewer comments like Spin likes to do.
• 14:28
  I did a little a little homework not too many this week so go and
• 14:34
  comment so I can read your your beef in the comments.
• 14:38
  Great chat with Lucy. This is from Peter or PPF 64.
• 14:45
  Great chat with Lucy regarding CrossFit Games slash WFP season.
• 14:49
  I think we're going to need to see a shift in athlete approach.
• 14:54
  Pivot your training or how did how to down put it adjust your
• 14:57
  training. Adjust your training.
• 14:59
  The best athletes will be those who can maintain fitness over
• 15:02
  the whole season, even year round, rather than just blowing
• 15:06
  it all out for one single event. Who is fittest question mark?
• 15:10
  The athlete who competes once in person and wins the CrossFit
• 15:13
  Games or the athlete who can win multiple back-to-back
• 15:17
  competitions, are they the same people?
• 15:21
  I think it's the same. You think it's the same?
• 15:26
  Can you? So it's like they, they, their
• 15:30
  premise is that like you just happen to win on the week of the
• 15:34
  CrossFit Games when it's like you've done a whole season of
• 15:38
  back-to-back, so to speak, events.
• 15:41
  You've done the Open, you've done in affiliate semifinals,
• 15:44
  you've done in person semifinals, and you'll do the
• 15:46
  games. Like that's a ton to test who
• 15:49
  the fittest is on earth. And they're saying like, OK, if
• 15:53
  you compare that to WFP where they do 3 events and then the
• 15:57
  champ is crowned at the end, I think it's essentially going to
• 16:00
  be the same. I don't think you're going to
• 16:02
  see people who get first, second or third in WFP who are going to
• 16:07
  be a surprise or all that different than you would assume
• 16:12
  at the games. Yes I I agree but I think he's
• 16:20
  saying if that person is different, which one are you
• 16:24
  rocking with? Is the fittest person of the
• 16:26
  earth maybe. Right.
• 16:29
  Maybe. I will always default to the
• 16:32
  games. Always, no matter what.
• 16:35
  They are not going to be able to test the same thing that they
• 16:38
  tested the games. Wana makes the point Grand Slam
• 16:41
  here. I don't know if she's talking
• 16:43
  about this, but we will get to see an actual What's it called
• 16:48
  when a horse wins 3 races a Triple Crown?
• 16:53
  And that one, what are you, what are you calling a Triple Crown?
• 16:55
  Well, if you win all three WFP events.
• 16:58
  OK, if you win the WFP Triple Crown, I guess it's more of a
• 17:02
  Grand Slam 'cause you got 1. I don't.
• 17:05
  Hell yeah, let's call it. Let's just call it the Grand
• 17:07
  Slam. Well, you got to win the final.
• 17:09
  You can't wait three of those things and not win the final.
• 17:12
  Like, yeah. I think I bet that one I would
• 17:15
  actually be excited to see in the finals if somebody can pull
• 17:18
  off all of them. And, and OK, so if the person
• 17:24
  who say, OK, let's just say, for example, Jeff wins all three and
• 17:31
  the final, James Sprague wins the CrossFit Games again.
• 17:40
  Who's fitter, James. I agree.
• 17:45
  It's always going to, it's always going to be the the games
• 17:47
  is the Super Bowl of fitness. The person who wins the Super
• 17:52
  Bowl is the fittest person. It depends on the events that
• 17:55
  they're going to do, but they're not going to do like a Pendleton
• 18:00
  run, like they're not going to do any of that stuff.
• 18:03
  No, it's going to be in gym stuff.
• 18:04
  No. So we should explain this about
• 18:06
  the WFP. So Barclay says the final is
• 18:10
  double points. So it's equivalent to four
• 18:12
  comps. And I've had this talk with
• 18:13
  Dallin as well. The the final, the way they have
• 18:17
  it is the final is worth twice as much as anyone competition.
• 18:21
  So it would be extremely hard to be that.
• 18:24
  Like you remember when Justin said that you could win, you
• 18:29
  could not win the final, win the whole thing without winning the
• 18:34
  final? Right.
• 18:35
  Because it's the series that's very unlikely to happen because
• 18:39
  the final is worth so much. Right.
• 18:42
  And that sucks. Like if you hit a Grand Slam and
• 18:45
  you don't close on the final. You don't deserve to win.
• 18:49
  That's. Like, I don't care, I don't
• 18:51
  care. It's all turn on.
• 18:53
  It's all tuned up. Yeah, listen, dude, do you know
• 18:55
  how freaking dominant the Chiefs have been?
• 18:58
  And I know like the regular season, they're just fooling
• 19:00
  around and they went on last second things all the freaking
• 19:05
  time. But like, let's just look at the
• 19:06
  playoffs. How Dom like it's they haven't
• 19:10
  even they were winning the game against the Bills the entire
• 19:13
  time and the Bills were supposed to be the best team in the NFL,
• 19:18
  were they not? Let's not pretend that they
• 19:20
  didn't get a shaft on the call. Whatever, whatever, OK, I don't
• 19:24
  care. I'm not one of those.
• 19:25
  I'm not one of those people. If the Eagles win the Super
• 19:31
  Bowl, does anything the Chiefs have done matter?
• 19:36
  No. No, none of it.
• 19:39
  Nothing. The next season, they will.
• 19:41
  Listen, the Vikings, I'm a die hard Vikings fan.
• 19:44
  I love the Vikings. I was on the Sam Darnold train.
• 19:49
  I was cheering for Sam Darnold the.
• 19:52
  Chiefs are not a good team I love.
• 19:54
  This you're right. You know what standing you're
• 19:56
  right. You know what they might be the
• 19:58
  best team ever like like like so for you to say that no team is
• 20:02
  ever 3 peated, but I'm I'm trying to talk about my Vikings,
• 20:04
  OK, They were four. They were 14 and 3. 14 and
• 20:10
  three, that's a phenomenal team. That's a Super Bowl record of a
• 20:14
  team, and then you lose in the first round of the playoffs,
• 20:19
  you've done nothing. Sam Darnold probably lost $50
• 20:22
  million on that one game because that's the only thing that
• 20:27
  matters. What?
• 20:32
  What color is the logo this year?
• 20:35
  Red and green, exactly what they said.
• 20:39
  It's I, I'm in the camp. I know that Angelo was talking
• 20:42
  about this this week. I'm in the camp that it's
• 20:44
  rigged. If it was rigged, I don't think
• 20:49
  they would rig it for the Chiefs.
• 20:51
  But I think they would. Why not rig it for the Cowboys
• 20:55
  or the Giants? Or like some major market team
• 20:57
  or the Rams? Taylor Swift bro, they need all
• 21:00
  that freaking marketing money. They won before Taylor Swift got
• 21:03
  in the picture. And weird, all of a sudden she
• 21:07
  walks into the picture. It's OK, we're all about
• 21:09
  football people, OK? I like to believe in honest
• 21:13
  America, OK? I want to be entertained.
• 21:15
  If y'all just want to ruin it and say I can't watch it because
• 21:18
  it's Rick, that's on you guys. You.
• 21:20
  Know what? I don't care, Bill.
• 21:22
  Go wrestle somebody, Bill. OK, I'm going to have fun.
• 21:27
  OK, I do have a $22,000 bet in the Super Bowl.
• 21:31
  It's really fun. I'm excited about it.
• 21:33
  Yeah God damn it John, you make me nervous even talking about
• 21:36
  it. Comment #2 from Jason Zerba 8000
• 21:45
  Does anyone think Jeff gives 2 shits about being on the
• 21:50
  mountain? Everyone knows he's the fittest.
• 21:54
  For now, I think Jeff cares. He cares enough to listen to
• 21:59
  John say that he's scared of Austin.
• 22:08
  He shouldn't care. It shouldn't.
• 22:11
  He shouldn't care at all. I'm an idiot on a microphone who
• 22:16
  will never touch the fitness that Jeff Adler will ever touch.
• 22:19
  But I care and I'm going to talk really loud about it.
• 22:24
  And so if I have any kind of influence on any type of people
• 22:29
  you should care about that. Does that make sense?
• 22:33
  I just had a great idea. You remember Miranda?
• 22:36
  She would have been old Roy back then when she did that rap video
• 22:39
  at the games. You need to do a rap video
• 22:44
  titled The Idiot with the Microphone.
• 22:46
  John can rap you guys. John sent some lyrics a couple
• 22:49
  times just on the spot. It's.
• 22:51
  Got it's got to be organic though.
• 22:55
  I'm really good, but it just kind of comes to me right?
• 22:58
  Like I don't know if I'm be as good as like trying to figure it
• 23:02
  out. You got it, dude.
• 23:04
  We'll just get you. We'll just get you hype and send
• 23:06
  you right into it. You'll kill it, I think.
• 23:09
  I think the amount of people have who have like referenced,
• 23:13
  oh, you know, guys in the media, when they rank you a certain
• 23:16
  way, it's like you're the guy who ranks people like.
• 23:21
  And I'm going to keep doing it. You know, like they are
• 23:25
  watching. I but I don't think they should
• 23:27
  care. I don't think if you're that
• 23:30
  athlete like, like think like let's put you in those shoes.
• 23:34
  I don't think you should care. But it's fun when you're on top.
• 23:39
  Well, Jason? Cares.
• 23:44
  Not saying your name is possible, but he was like when I
• 23:47
  see negative, he said this, I think in Peter's documentary,
• 23:52
  you know, talking about, oh, when I see negative comments
• 23:55
  like that fuels me more than the positive comments.
• 23:58
  And it is for I was listening for that because it was like I
• 24:00
  was saying Jason was going to be fittest man on earth.
• 24:04
  And he was like, yeah, I don't really care about those.
• 24:07
  I just care about the negative comments.
• 24:09
  And I was like, so, John. They they are the one that eats
• 24:12
  you, though. I don't think I've been that
• 24:13
  negative about Hopper. But like if like on our shows
• 24:19
  when we have comments, I appreciate all the comments
• 24:23
  whenever they're like nice. I appreciate the nice comments
• 24:27
  because it's not like we get paid a whole bunch of money to
• 24:29
  do this. But yeah, you know, but the ones
• 24:34
  that are the ones that are mean, you definitely read them more
• 24:37
  than once, like it's, you know what I mean?
• 24:40
  I've. Learned to laugh at all of them.
• 24:42
  But I remember in the early days, especially, like when I
• 24:45
  was way worse on the show, I, I struggled with the negatives and
• 24:49
  they like they, those did push me to like try to be better on
• 24:52
  the show. But I, I think I only look like
• 24:55
  I look at the good and bad now, but I laugh at all the bad ones
• 24:59
  because now the bad ones are like, oh, you don't know nearly
• 25:04
  what you think you should know and like, so they're commenting
• 25:06
  and I'm like, you're missing a lot.
• 25:09
  Yeah, whenever the comments are like, like this guy's an idiot
• 25:15
  or this guy doesn't know anything or, or anything like
• 25:20
  that, I'm, I, I just, I really feel like, well, somebody beat
• 25:26
  me then, because there's still the best predictions out there.
• 25:30
  I've yet to have somebody just beat me every time.
• 25:34
  You know what I mean? The, the only time I've been
• 25:37
  beat convincingly was Will freaking Branstetter in
• 25:40
  Waterpalooza one year. And I for some reason, I don't
• 25:45
  do great at Waterpalooza. That's like the worst prediction
• 25:49
  by my competition predictions. I bet you every single year it's
• 25:54
  Waterpalooza because for some reason I'm just way off on that
• 25:59
  one compared to the rest of them.
• 26:02
  Does that make sense? But.
• 26:04
  And if you're not, if you can't beat me, then you can't call me
• 26:07
  an idiot. Let's see, does does your mom,
• 26:11
  does she ever tell you? Like so and so commented this
• 26:14
  and I freaking hate it. No, the she was, she was upset
• 26:20
  with the Mitchell Hooper situation.
• 26:25
  She yeah, they probably get to her more than more than me.
• 26:31
  I've, I don't really ever, they don't ever really get to me.
• 26:34
  The the grid, the grid one, the grid one.
• 26:39
  I was almost angered because of how ridiculous it was.
• 26:43
  You know what I mean? The strong women one.
• 26:48
  Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 26:50
  I kind of asked for that one, right?
• 26:52
  Like I'm surprised how wildfire it got, but I I could understand
• 26:59
  where that's coming from. The the grid one, I have no
• 27:02
  idea. I was just angered that that was
• 27:05
  even happening. Moving on from comments, thanks.
• 27:09
  Comment like subscribe, do all the stuff.
• 27:12
  I was thinking about Adler today because Peter also talked about
• 27:17
  this on the show, but put out a video of Adler talking about
• 27:21
  like he's playing it by ear and he's going to see how the season
• 27:24
  goes. I'm I'm interested.
• 27:30
  What does that mean? I mean, I know what it means.
• 27:34
  He's going to pick one or the other at some point, you know, I
• 27:38
  don't know what are the odds, though, because.
• 27:39
  You sign a contract, you kind of sign.
• 27:41
  I feel like if you sign a contract, you're contracted.
• 27:46
  OK, say say he signed a contract for 70 grand, right, got one of
• 27:51
  the higher contracts and he just says, you know what guys, I'm
• 27:56
  going to the house, I'm going to do the CrossFit season.
• 27:59
  Here's your 70 grand back. I mean, is there any any loss
• 28:07
  there? Like they I don't like it sucks
• 28:09
  because you signed a contract and you committed yourself, but
• 28:12
  also like they're not really doing anything to keep him.
• 28:18
  I feel like if there's not like we are capable of charging you X
• 28:26
  amount by breaching contract like that should be built into
• 28:31
  it and if it's not that's dumb on them.
• 28:33
  Yeah, yeah. Because like, think about this.
• 28:35
  Think if, think if everybody had that mindset and then half of
• 28:38
  the people that you signed aren't doing it.
• 28:41
  And it's not like you can get new people because then you're
• 28:43
  in the middle of your season. What if they do one competition,
• 28:47
  they do the like the first one, the first one's in May, right?
• 28:50
  But if they do that first one and then they're like, OK, I'm
• 28:53
  going to turn on game season now.
• 28:54
  And then just like you have 9 athletes that just don't do it
• 28:59
  anymore. That looks really bad on you.
• 29:04
  And I honestly that looks right, right you there needs to be a
• 29:08
  breach of contract clause. It's such a Dick move on the
• 29:12
  athletes that do that. No, 'cause like you can't sign
• 29:16
  something and just think, oh, I'll just won't do.
• 29:20
  That I'll just bail. Right, like I just think that's
• 29:24
  a crazy Dick move. But if it happens, it looks
• 29:29
  really bad for world fitness project that it can even happen.
• 29:32
  And then if and it looks bad on the athlete, I hope it doesn't
• 29:36
  come to that. Contract's all good.
• 29:38
  Thank you. Thank you for your service.
• 29:40
  I, I don't, I would not like that for either either party,
• 29:47
  right, 'cause I just just just think it doesn't look good for
• 29:50
  either of them. And I'm one of the few, believe
• 29:53
  it or not, I want it to succeed. And I'm, I feel like I'm one of
• 29:56
  the few people that wants it to succeed.
• 29:59
  But it, that would, I just don't think that's going to go well
• 30:04
  for either of the either of those parties.
• 30:06
  If you do that, if you're, if you're Jeff and you do that like
• 30:09
  it's like you're trying to make people not like you.
• 30:14
  Yeah, somebody said, you know, it was, it was actually a gym
• 30:19
  member I was talking to yesterday, his wife's actually
• 30:23
  the strength of the conditioning coach at the university here.
• 30:26
  And we were talking about what if Laura, like last second goes,
• 30:30
  you know what, I'm going to do the open.
• 30:35
  You think? You think she gets more hate or
• 30:38
  more love for doing the open? Oh, I think she'll get more love
• 30:40
  like you. I don't know if you can get more
• 30:42
  hate than you you have right now.
• 30:45
  I don't think anybody likes Laura right now that is in
• 30:48
  America. Europeans probably still like
• 30:50
  her. And for our European contingent,
• 30:54
  I know y'all are loud and proud, not as loud as the Australians,
• 30:57
  but I know you're out there. The Australians, we love us a
• 31:00
  little bit more than y'all do though.
• 31:03
  Is it not true like? It's funny how Australia was
• 31:09
  colonized by Europeans but we do they seem closer.
• 31:13
  They seem closer US. Yeah, yeah, they do.
• 31:16
  Yeah, they do. The.
• 31:17
  I think that I don't, I can't speak for Europe, but I feel
• 31:21
  like it's hard to get more hate than you have already.
• 31:25
  I feel like the majority of people, our team Gabby and and
• 31:30
  you kind of have this this facade of just FFF everybody.
• 31:37
  It's me against the world, me and my brother against the
• 31:40
  world, right? Like that's it.
• 31:43
  We're the only two people that matter and I don't care what
• 31:44
  anybody else thinks. That's the that's the facade
• 31:48
  that you facade might be the wrong word.
• 31:50
  What's the word? I'm looking for the vibe that
• 31:53
  y'all are they, they put out, right?
• 31:56
  And that's a hard vibe to like like, like I get it like where
• 32:02
  she comes out and she doesn't and, and like on the CrossFit
• 32:06
  games field where it's like watch what I watch what I'm
• 32:09
  about to do to y'all like like, like, like right, Like that's
• 32:11
  cool, right? But you just walk around like
• 32:15
  that. Like if you're at Walmart, I bet
• 32:17
  you cut the old lady off to get your peanut butter, you know
• 32:20
  what I mean? Like that's, that's the vibe
• 32:23
  that you put out. Dude, have you ever been behind?
• 32:26
  They have Walmart Europe. No, I don't think so.
• 32:29
  What do you all have in Europe? What's their grocery?
• 32:31
  Store if they're in the Europeans listening.
• 32:33
  What y'all what? Y'all go to grocery store?
• 32:36
  Y'all ever you've ever been behind the old lady though,
• 32:38
  that's just like taken the time and you're like, I literally
• 32:43
  need this one thing it's going to take me 5 seconds and she's
• 32:45
  just. Yeah, you leave your cart and
• 32:48
  then you walk around and you go get it.
• 32:50
  That's fair. You leave, you leave your cart
• 32:53
  and then you go, excuse me real quick, get your thing and then
• 32:56
  go, go on your way. Anyway.
• 33:01
  All these, no way Aldi's is the store.
• 33:04
  Gosh. That's their entire store.
• 33:06
  Just 'cause that sounds European, that's there's no way
• 33:10
  Aldi's is. It's the go to store, grocery
• 33:13
  store anyway. That's the vibe that they put
• 33:17
  out. It's a hard vibe to like.
• 33:20
  So if Laura was to do the open when everybody expects her not
• 33:25
  to, everybody expects her not to do the games right?
• 33:28
  And then she just has a flip of script.
• 33:31
  I think that more people would like her.
• 33:35
  I think for us, and I'm probably the crowd that watches us, it'd
• 33:40
  be more. I need to see a little bit more
• 33:43
  before I'm going to just be on the Laura train again.
• 33:45
  Right? Right.
• 33:46
  But I do think that more people would like her.
• 33:49
  She'd get more love than hate. How would she get hate?
• 33:54
  You know what I mean? I think, I think people would
• 33:56
  say what you said about Jeff where it's like, well, you, you
• 34:00
  were like, yeah, fuck it, I'm not going to do.
• 34:02
  Yeah. But OK, if that's the case, go.
• 34:06
  Ahead. Well, like, you're not going to
• 34:08
  be a part of the season. And in the last minute you like
• 34:10
  you pull up and you're like, yeah, never mind.
• 34:13
  So the second she does that and she goes, yeah, never mind to
• 34:17
  either the World Fitness Project or the CrossFit Games, then
• 34:21
  she's the worst person ever. Yeah.
• 34:26
  I and if you're not the worst person ever, then your your your
• 34:30
  your word is trash. What good is what good is your
• 34:34
  word? Because one of the things that I
• 34:37
  respect about Laura was that she pulled out of the Games and then
• 34:41
  has said that she's not going to compete in the CrossFit season.
• 34:44
  And it's like, I kind of like, if she holds to that, I kind of
• 34:47
  respect that because like she walked out before everybody
• 34:50
  else. Yeah, No, I respect Laura.
• 34:53
  I don't. I don't.
• 34:53
  I don't. I respect Laura a lot more than
• 34:57
  Danny Spiegel, right? But I don't mean I have to like
• 35:02
  her right? I respected Rich Froning and I
• 35:06
  hated on him for like 5 years. I think Rich is great.
• 35:09
  I'm team. I'm, I'm team.
• 35:11
  I'm Team Mayhem. John's a flip flopper.
• 35:13
  He would totally cut his contract with WFE, no?
• 35:16
  Shot dude I I I am the most honest man in CrossFit, OK?
• 35:23
  I won't take that from you to. To to the point that it's gotten
• 35:27
  me cancelled almost twice. I guess in the comments it's
• 35:31
  Lydell. I have seen Lydell or however
• 35:34
  you say it. I think you say this, Lytle.
• 35:38
  Little. Little.
• 35:41
  Lydell. Lydell.
• 35:44
  I think I've seen Lydell in the one of the the Irish guys that
• 35:49
  follow online. Anyway, back to TFX, what was
• 35:53
  what was the crowd like? What would like?
• 35:55
  Were the vibes the same as the year that that you and I were
• 35:58
  there at the same time? Yeah, yeah, for the most part
• 36:03
  it's like it's a whole bunch of gems, man.
• 36:04
  It, it, it did feel a little bit smaller, especially the the
• 36:13
  shopping area. What do you call that vendor,
• 36:15
  Vendor village. I don't, I don't know if they
• 36:17
  call it vendor village, but that seemed light compared to like
• 36:22
  the last two years that I've been there, which isn't great,
• 36:28
  isn't great. Bummer.
• 36:29
  Who was there? I know LRX was there.
• 36:33
  Did. You get Jenny who?
• 36:35
  Jenny. I saw that she was there.
• 36:38
  I had no idea she was or I would have said hi.
• 36:41
  She was right where I was snagged she was.
• 36:43
  Apparently she was right next to like my group of girls because
• 36:48
  where she videoed is like exactly where they were.
• 36:52
  Had no idea she was there. And I I if she's watching this,
• 36:57
  you should have said my name. I would, I would have said
• 36:59
  hello. We could have went and gotten
• 37:00
  dinner or. Something right in the middle of
• 37:02
  the lift. Yeah, oh, for sure, for sure.
• 37:04
  I was like, hey, that's that one girl.
• 37:06
  That's what I would have said, but I didn't.
• 37:10
  I didn't see her there. I was a little bit, a little in
• 37:12
  the mode, you know. But so LRX.
• 37:17
  Are RX Gymnastics the guy who does the adjustable rings?
• 37:21
  Yeah, I saw that. The.
• 37:25
  I mean, I wasn't. All all.
• 37:27
  All your typical stuff. The quick connect gymnastic
• 37:31
  rings. I know what the Yeah.
• 37:33
  I think, I think so. I think so.
• 37:35
  I, I saw something like that. I again, I'm not the biggest
• 37:38
  shopper. I don't go around like that, but
• 37:42
  I just walked through it. So I can't tell you specific
• 37:46
  stores, but all the normal people were there.
• 37:49
  Ariel Lowen and Guy and Luke Parker spoke, I think.
• 37:54
  I think Luke always speaks at the Vitus experience.
• 37:57
  Rapid Rings. Thank you, Augustus.
• 37:59
  Augustus. Strong coffee was there.
• 38:03
  And then Hannah hit a 230 LB snake.
• 38:06
  Yeah. Hannah Black hit 2:30, which is
• 38:09
  I maybe the most we've seen. Of any female like of all time.
• 38:19
  I can't think of one more in a competition.
• 38:23
  That's crazy. Wait, were you able to see it or
• 38:26
  did you just catch it after the fact?
• 38:27
  No, I, I caught it after the fact.
• 38:29
  Listen, when I when I finished, I was gone.
• 38:31
  I was done. We were going home like it was
• 38:33
  done. See, we were, we got there like
• 38:36
  A7 15 or something, 'cause my girls lifted in the morning and
• 38:42
  then we had to wait a little bit for me and then we were then we
• 38:45
  were out after that. But Caitlin Sanders won was in
• 38:51
  first place for the majority of the time.
• 38:53
  People who don't know Caitlin Sanders Saunders, Caitlin
• 38:56
  Saunders, not Sanders. Remember that.
• 38:58
  When I was like I. Was a big crash thing, 'cause I
• 39:00
  kept saying Sanders that Caitlin Saunders, she one, I don't want
• 39:09
  to say handedly, but I remember her name being in first place
• 39:12
  the whole time and she was third at Crash.
• 39:18
  Wait, CrossFit? Are you saying like Travis mash
• 39:22
  lifter? Yeah, man.
• 39:24
  Is that would be cool. It would be cool.
• 39:27
  That, that's awesome, I said. Mia Mia Ackerlin hit 21228 and
• 39:33
  2018. That's not 2:30.
• 39:39
  That might have been in Dubai. Dubai, there was some crazy
• 39:42
  numbers, like one, one year. Yeah, the going to pivot a
• 39:48
  little bit here. Wishart was at crash, yes, but
• 39:53
  anyway, hold on Caitlin. Caitlin gets to the the podium.
• 39:57
  I think the. Podium.
• 39:58
  Oh yeah, we should talk about that.
• 39:59
  Yeah, the podium, the podium Got what's the word I'm looking for?
• 40:04
  Invites. To the TFX championship that
• 40:07
  happens in April in Oklahoma City for the CrossFit Games and
• 40:15
  the guys that are on there are Casey Strong, Jacob Marlow, and
• 40:24
  I'm trying to remember the last person.
• 40:27
  Alright, let me put. CrossFit.
• 40:29
  I am always trying to figure out who CrossFit is, and so I want
• 40:33
  to feel like he's connected to Travis Mash at this point, which
• 40:37
  limits that that number of people down.
• 40:41
  I wonder if he's that. No, there's no way.
• 40:45
  Anyway, yeah, I go ahead. I'm interested to see how these
• 40:51
  athletes do at the TFX Invitational.
• 40:55
  I think that's what they're calling it.
• 40:56
  I've heard very little on their end of like, what's going to
• 40:59
  happen, What's going on? I know that like, so Syndicate
• 41:02
  is not going to invite anybody. I think this is public.
• 41:06
  Anybody who's already qualified to go to the games.
• 41:09
  They're not inviting them to Syndicate.
• 41:12
  Interesting. So they're going to have to wait
• 41:13
  a little bit then. Yeah.
• 41:15
  And so I wonder if TFX follows suit.
• 41:17
  I kind of wish that they would because it makes it, I think it
• 41:20
  makes it more exciting. And I've been trying to find
• 41:25
  like who's going to be at syndicate, Like what, what
• 41:28
  athletes are going to be allowed to go?
• 41:29
  What athletes aren't going to be allowed to go.
• 41:31
  And it really like, it really makes the field interesting and
• 41:35
  I think shifts it to where lower level athletes actually have a
• 41:40
  better more more of a chance, even though I think it'll still
• 41:44
  be tight. I'm sorry, got nothing.
• 41:50
  Putting out fires? I'm sorry, say that again.
• 41:53
  I was just trying to figure out like I was just talking about,
• 41:55
  you know, the Invitational and the TFX Invitational.
• 41:59
  And if they will, if they'll invite people who've already
• 42:03
  qualified, do you think that they should or should?
• 42:05
  Well, I mean, if we go through it, there's only so many people
• 42:08
  that I think would even be available for that because like,
• 42:13
  look at the West. The West is noticeably weaker
• 42:16
  than the East and it's only W people, right?
• 42:22
  Justin Medeiros and Renfikowski's out and like, can
• 42:30
  you name any others? Colton Sprague.
• 42:34
  Colton and James. James Does James?
• 42:39
  Didn't he move? No, he's still He's in
• 42:41
  Washington. Are you sure he's not in
• 42:43
  Jacksonville? Pretty sure.
• 42:45
  OK. I don't know.
• 42:48
  I feel like I see him. No, he's training at that big
• 42:51
  gym in, in, in Washington and he's also going to is he go?
• 42:59
  He's going to the the mayhem thing, right?
• 43:04
  Yes. Yeah.
• 43:05
  So I mean, he has a chance there.
• 43:09
  That would be crazy that that's the big unknown right now is
• 43:13
  like, who can really make it out of.
• 43:15
  And Velnar? Velnar was West and then you
• 43:18
  have Quant, but after that, after that, dude, these people
• 43:24
  probably aren't making it like another way.
• 43:27
  Do you think Chris Ibarra is making it another way?
• 43:32
  No. You don't, You don't like before
• 43:33
  this. That's what I'm saying.
• 43:35
  Like, like if you really boil it down to the West and and
• 43:40
  Velner's east now. Yes, thank you.
• 43:42
  So Velner's not even in there. Rakowski's gone.
• 43:44
  Velner's not in there. Like Sprague and Justin are
• 43:47
  really the only ones that I top top guys.
• 43:51
  I well, the only ones that I could see not already having a a
• 43:55
  ticket and even them, like I think it's gonna be extremely
• 44:00
  hard to get a ticket at mayhem. I think it's gonna be extremely
• 44:03
  hard to get a ticket online. I don't I don't bet on James
• 44:06
  getting a ticket online. You know what I mean?
• 44:09
  TFX is probably where he's going to get it, honestly.
• 44:12
  Like. Well, the interesting thing
• 44:14
  about it is that we will see every different type of way that
• 44:18
  you can run this. So Mayhem is inviting people who
• 44:22
  will likely qualify through the in affiliate semifinal.
• 44:26
  And so Hatfield, like Hatfield has a good chance of qualifying
• 44:31
  through the in affiliate semifinal.
• 44:33
  And so they're backfield positions like they're going to,
• 44:36
  it might be 6 or 7. Colton has a decent chance just
• 44:40
  depending on what the workouts are right It like if there's
• 44:43
  usually one workout can knock Colton out, but if like that
• 44:46
  specific workout doesn't come out, Colton's and gym fitness
• 44:50
  very very good like. He's he's also gotten way better
• 44:53
  at all the things that he he's notoriously been not as great
• 44:57
  at, which is. But they throw legless, they
• 44:59
  throw legless rope climbs in there.
• 45:01
  He just. Doesn't just fast enough?
• 45:03
  It's just, it's just to be top 12 online, it's just not going
• 45:07
  to happen. Sure.
• 45:10
  Pivoting on to the open, I know that Spin told us earlier this
• 45:16
  week and we've not had updated numbers since then, but earlier
• 45:20
  this week that the open numbers. So there's been a lot of talk
• 45:23
  online that the open numbers are down and I've been pretty
• 45:28
  skeptical of what that means open sign ups being down and now
• 45:33
  they're starting to catch back up.
• 45:38
  I guess, you know, I'm wondering, do you put any first
• 45:41
  thing I'm wondering is do you put any real stock into the open
• 45:44
  numbers being down? And then like second, are they
• 45:49
  coming back up? Like with them coming back up,
• 45:51
  do you put any stock in any of that?
• 45:56
  You took the under on the the over under on registrations.
• 46:00
  I did. Yeah, 275 I think is what's been
• 46:03
  said. Right.
• 46:04
  What are we turning towards? It would be under.
• 46:11
  Hold on. I'm trying to, yeah, no, I think
• 46:17
  there is stock and the numbers trending down, the numbers
• 46:23
  coming back up. I'm hopeful, but I feel like
• 46:30
  it's just going to be. I feel, I feel like they will
• 46:33
  trend up but not enough to be like not pretty, pretty hard to
• 46:39
  take. Does that make sense?
• 46:43
  Elaborate I guess. OK.
• 46:45
  So they were what, 40% down before?
• 46:50
  Yeah, something like that. And what were we?
• 46:53
  How many open registrations were there 3/25?
• 46:56
  Yeah. So 325 * .6 we're on track for
• 47:01
  one 9500 under 200,000. There's no way that hold and
• 47:07
  that's my thing like that. So I'm saying the numbers will
• 47:09
  come back up, but it's going to be like 23240 by the end of it.
• 47:14
  That's still going to be a lot like IA lot, a lot in them in a
• 47:17
  bad way. That's what I'm saying.
• 47:18
  I remember last year they opened the registration like oddly
• 47:22
  early where you were like, why are you opening it this this
• 47:25
  early? And I felt like there was a big
• 47:28
  marketing push last year to get everybody to sign up early.
• 47:32
  We. Have like 3 weeks Tyler.
• 47:38
  I think like last, you know, early years it was everybody
• 47:42
  would wait till the last day to sign up, which is the end of the
• 47:45
  first workout. I could see there being a big
• 47:50
  push and there should be a big push in marketing to get people
• 47:54
  to sign up. I've noticed the difference in
• 47:56
  the gym. And that's sort of like my
• 47:58
  temperature test on the whole thing is like people seem a
• 48:01
  little bit more revved up about the open, like the young, the
• 48:04
  younger athletes. And I won't see like, say like
• 48:08
  young, young athletes. I mean like people who haven't
• 48:10
  been going to the gym very long. They seem excited to do it.
• 48:14
  And I've not felt that in a few years.
• 48:18
  What's it feel like in your gym? Oh, I, I mean, it's, I don't
• 48:22
  think it's very great in my gym. Really.
• 48:27
  Yeah, I just, I, I told all of my people, hey, we're doing the
• 48:32
  open. The open's coming up.
• 48:33
  Probably going to do more like dumbbell snatches and box jump
• 48:36
  overs, right? But like, there's not a big push
• 48:41
  from ownership for it. Like I'm I'm trying to talk our
• 48:47
  owner into. No.
• 48:50
  No affiliating. Oh, really?
• 48:54
  Yeah, I couldn't see the value in it, but we'll we'll see.
• 49:00
  Like they both like if they're they both have like other jobs
• 49:07
  and it's just something they had like their life isn't the gym.
• 49:11
  Yeah, and like I don't own it right.
• 49:15
  Like it's not so it's it's just it's hard, but.
• 49:22
  We'll see. Yeah, I and so like.
• 49:26
  I I try to find like the fine line like of when to say
• 49:30
  something, when not to say something 'cause I don't own it
• 49:33
  and I don't want to be like. Pushing it on them.
• 49:35
  Right, like like like right. And I, and like, I already like,
• 49:38
  do push a lot. And it's just, well, I, I
• 49:45
  listen, I, I, I coach the majority of the hours at the
• 49:48
  gym. Every morning.
• 49:51
  I coach five hours, 444 to five hours.
• 49:56
  And then some afternoons too, like it's, I'm there, I'm at our
• 50:02
  gym more than anybody else, right?
• 50:06
  Like I, I essentially am like the manager, right?
• 50:10
  I don't have like a manager title, but I'm there more than
• 50:12
  everybody else. But I have no control over what
• 50:16
  happens And it's not, and I don't want to be like, I don't
• 50:20
  have any say in what happens and I don't want to act like I do.
• 50:25
  Sure don't 'cause I don't, right, Right.
• 50:27
  So it's, it's a hard kind of balance.
• 50:31
  Does that make sense? Right, right.
• 50:35
  I've been thinking about, I know you guys talked about the open
• 50:38
  and and marketing and stuff. I'm wondering at this point,
• 50:42
  what would get people at this point, like we can't go back
• 50:45
  three months and start doing a bunch of stuff to Rev people up
• 50:48
  for the open, but like at what at this point you think would
• 50:50
  drive the most sign ups? Oh, that's a good, great
• 50:56
  question. Like, what's the what are the
• 50:58
  Hail Mary passes that we have left to really kick it, kick it
• 51:01
  up? You could hype up the open
• 51:05
  announcement like you can announce these people are doing
• 51:09
  the open announcement and then like Dave started giving hints
• 51:14
  about what that is. You know what I mean?
• 51:17
  Or even and not like a Dave hint, but even being like, hey,
• 51:23
  the Mason it got I. I kind of like, I think it might
• 51:30
  play a little. Like even even if Dave was like
• 51:33
  hey 25.1, just so y'all know, it's going to have toast bar in
• 51:39
  it and that's it. That's it.
• 51:42
  There is no hint but I'll give you a movement.
• 51:44
  I think people will get amped up about it.
• 51:47
  Right, Ortega says. Or affiliate owners talking
• 51:51
  about it. And that that's something I
• 51:53
  think about a lot because it's like, John, like I hear that in
• 51:56
  the class all the time. Like, hey, that one's coming up.
• 51:59
  Like sign up. We're going to do the workouts
• 52:00
  anyway. And I'm like, I wish that
• 52:02
  business pitch was a little different.
• 52:04
  Like, hey, you're going to do it anyway.
• 52:06
  And it's like, OK, then why do I sign up?
• 52:09
  You know what I mean? Like it falls flat versus like,
• 52:12
  I think back 2013 fourteen. And it was just like everybody
• 52:17
  was like already signed up, like way early and ready to go.
• 52:21
  And it's like, where where did that fervor go?
• 52:24
  And like, how do you get it back?
• 52:25
  And I think we were just all we were all in it.
• 52:28
  I was thinking about their tagline.
• 52:29
  We open together and I think it rolls off tongue weird and it's
• 52:33
  I think it's a weird tagline, but I do, I do appreciate it in
• 52:38
  that like, yeah, I've gotten away from training with other
• 52:43
  people. And so we open together actually
• 52:45
  meant something to me because it was like, yeah, that's that's
• 52:49
  the best part of it is doing it with other folks.
• 52:51
  Doing it with people, yeah. Yeah.
• 52:53
  And so I wish that would, I wish the, the affiliates would see
• 52:59
  that and be like, yeah, we need to start pushing like we're all
• 53:02
  going to do this together. And like, it's going to be
• 53:04
  really fun. You're going to get really
• 53:05
  uncomfortable and you're going to feel good about it at the
• 53:07
  end. Like you can't just say, oh,
• 53:10
  you'll be able to compare yourself, your fitness for the
• 53:12
  next 10 years. People can't think like 3 days
• 53:15
  in advance. They don't give a shit about 10
• 53:17
  years down the road. But it's like, hey, we're going
• 53:19
  to have a really fucking wicked time.
• 53:22
  Yeah, hey, we're all going to hurt and we're going to watch
• 53:24
  each other hurt, and then we're going to hurt together.
• 53:26
  Yeah, and then we're going to eat some tacos after, yeah.
• 53:32
  That sounds like a great idea. There's always tacos at our like
• 53:35
  at when we did the Friday Night Lights, I was like, man, And it
• 53:38
  was like the Taco stuff was always in the building.
• 53:41
  And so you'd be like on the last round of like some 20 round
• 53:44
  fucking thing where you feel like shit and you're like
• 53:47
  breathing Taco air and you're like, I literally would rather
• 53:50
  breathe anything else but Taco air right now.
• 53:54
  You eating tacos before you do the workout?
• 53:56
  No. No, no, no.
• 53:58
  They're in there. They're steep.
• 53:59
  In Oh, OK Oh, gotcha. The essence.
• 54:02
  The essence of tacos. Yeah, I gotcha.
• 54:04
  I gotcha. I gotcha.
• 54:05
  Yeah, I just, I'm skeptical of open registration being low.
• 54:11
  I think it might actually pick up in the next couple weeks and
• 54:14
  we might, we might can see something close to last year.
• 54:18
  I don't know that we're going to hit APR over last year.
• 54:22
  Dude, no, we're not going to be. Close.
• 54:24
  No chance. No, I'm still, I'm still taking
• 54:26
  the, I'm still taking the over, but I think it's going to be
• 54:30
  pretty close. To you, I applaud you.
• 54:34
  I, I mean, it'd be great if it did.
• 54:36
  I just think I think it's just going to take a little bit for
• 54:41
  the fire to catch back. I, I do think, I do think it'll
• 54:44
  catch back, but it's going to take a little bit for the fire
• 54:48
  to catch back. I would like to see a.
• 54:51
  And the fact that though it's hard for me to like only 1% move
• 54:57
  on. And I, it's hard for like me to
• 55:02
  like, we're still doing it right for sure, but it's hard for me
• 55:07
  to see why it matters to me. You know what I mean?
• 55:11
  Like it like I'm not moving on, you know what I'm saying?
• 55:14
  This year, so I posted that card.
• 55:17
  I really enjoy making those cards every year.
• 55:18
  It gives me something to like get excited about, but it's so
• 55:23
  on my card it says season 11. This is actually my 12th season.
• 55:26
  I didn't sign up for the open my first year.
• 55:29
  Do you know what my reason was it I I never forget telling Jen
• 55:36
  Smith, CrossFit Games athlete, this to her face and her
• 55:39
  absolutely laughing right to my face about this.
• 55:42
  I said because next year when I go to the Games, no one will
• 55:45
  know who I am. I said I won't.
• 55:49
  Honestly, that's so that's such ABA line and such a an
• 55:57
  understated or an under executed come through for you.
• 56:03
  But that I mean, dude, that sounds, that sounds like it
• 56:06
  should be in a movie. I was like 19 or 20 and you
• 56:10
  know, this, this girl who's already gone to the games is
• 56:13
  laughing literally. I've never been so embarrassed
• 56:16
  in my entire life like her laughing at me.
• 56:18
  And I was like, no, I'm going like I was, I was fucking, I was
• 56:21
  going to the games and never happened.
• 56:26
  But yeah, I, I would be interested to see you remember
• 56:30
  those hype videos of like when they would do the affiliate
• 56:33
  announcement videos and they would hype you like for three
• 56:36
  weeks, hey, we're going to Texas, we're going to do the,
• 56:38
  the open in this location that would hype the shit out of me.
• 56:42
  No, OK, I got this came out. This came out on around the
• 56:45
  whiteboard today. This idea from none of us, it
• 56:50
  was from a commenter. You pick 5 affiliates and you
• 56:56
  just follow those affiliates throughout the entire open, like
• 57:03
  before the open, during the open and then like, you know, a
• 57:07
  couple days after the open random and like of all of all
• 57:10
  levels, right, You got one like high level one where like
• 57:15
  there's one guy who can make semi finals and then like or
• 57:19
  girl, whatever. And then like 2 that are like
• 57:22
  are just bunch of soccer moms who are just trying to be their
• 57:25
  fittest self, right? And then one that's really,
• 57:29
  really bad and probably going to go out of business.
• 57:32
  The, and then you just follow them like a documentary style.
• 57:37
  And like with the open announcement, you video their
• 57:39
  reactions and it's just kind of like a series of the, it's the
• 57:45
  open for these five different affiliates.
• 57:48
  And like people would like and like it'd be the owners of the
• 57:51
  gym and like you can get, I can get behind my characters, you
• 57:55
  know what I mean? Right.
• 57:56
  I don't know why someone hasn't thought of this yet because it's
• 57:59
  such like, yeah, you really would get it.
• 58:03
  Rich and them did a, a documentary on one of the guys
• 58:06
  who was like overweight and stuff at their gym that like
• 58:09
  kind of turned his life around. And it would be similar to that.
• 58:11
  Like you could do these deep dives on who this person is, how
• 58:14
  CrossFit changed their life. And then them knee deep in the
• 58:17
  suck in the middle of, you know, 25.2 or whatever.
• 58:21
  And yeah, it would be A and you could do more than one of those
• 58:26
  people per gym, like you could do 5 people.
• 58:29
  Yeah, no, you could do the whole gym.
• 58:30
  You just do the owner like the owner is the main per like the.
• 58:33
  Person. Oh, you think the the owner?
• 58:35
  Like, well, I'm saying the owner is like who you, like, the
• 58:37
  camera guy would like sleep at the owner's house, right?
• 58:40
  And like, 'cause like, he's like the main guy you're talking to.
• 58:46
  But then you get everybody in their gym like what they're
• 58:49
  doing and how they interpret you, right?
• 58:53
  I hybrid high rocks athlete. They need to start following
• 58:57
  people. Three weeks ago I don't think
• 58:58
  so. I think you could follow them
• 58:59
  like up to the week leading into the open because it's like the
• 59:03
  open still doesn't even feel real to me yet.
• 59:06
  Or dude, you know, like, I mean, this is back when the open
• 59:09
  mattered and I don't know how to, I don't know how you make
• 59:12
  athletes care. I, I, I feel a little like it's
• 59:17
  the athlete's fault because they don't care about it at all.
• 59:21
  Like, you know, but when they followed Matt and Rich around
• 59:27
  right before 15.5 and and this was the first time Rich was ever
• 59:34
  has gotten beat ever in a competition for however however
• 59:40
  long he was doing it. Like it was like three straight
• 59:42
  years if he's never lost the open regionals or the Games.
• 59:47
  Is this when Matt still lived up in Vermont and they were texting
• 59:50
  back and forth trying to get scores off each?
• 59:52
  Other yes yes and and there's a video of him and Alex Anderson
• 59:56
  and Alex Anderson does the 1st 27 cals or however what much it
• 1:00:00
  is in like 40 seconds like Alexanderson.
• 1:00:02
  Goes. So fast and blows up so hard but
• 1:00:07
  they just follow those two around and they know and you
• 1:00:11
  know Richard and like Matt and and they're.
• 1:00:14
  And they're. Texting back and forth what
• 1:00:16
  their scores are and then yeah, like, like those videos were
• 1:00:23
  awesome. They were awesome.
• 1:00:25
  And we don't why we don't follow anybody.
• 1:00:27
  Hitler does more work as far as following athletes than anybody
• 1:00:31
  from CrossFit HQ. Yeah, I don't.
• 1:00:35
  They don't. Am I wrong?
• 1:00:36
  No, I I'm wondering if it's a return on investment thing, do
• 1:00:43
  you think? Do you think I was also when the
• 1:00:44
  workouts were a little bit harder?
• 1:00:46
  We didn't cater to everybody has to be able to do it.
• 1:00:48
  Yeah, I mean, you had to qualify for regionals using the Open,
• 1:00:51
  right? Like it was, it was insane.
• 1:00:53
  I still think about like that's the problem with the Open now is
• 1:00:56
  that it's an entry into the the system.
• 1:01:00
  But it's like, not because you just, if you're a top athlete in
• 1:01:04
  the world, like you basically just have to hit a bunt and
• 1:01:06
  you're on base and that that sucks.
• 1:01:12
  And so like for people like us, it did matter because we knew
• 1:01:14
  they were trying their hardest and we wanted to measure against
• 1:01:17
  them. And now it's like, that's not,
• 1:01:19
  that's not apparent. But I think, like, the way you
• 1:01:23
  would do that video is you would pick like three to four people
• 1:01:26
  in the gym, like, each skill level.
• 1:01:29
  Like, you know, like some granny who's like, you know, 70 years
• 1:01:33
  old and like she's gotten back into fitness or, you know, maybe
• 1:01:37
  like the, you know, the overweight guy and then the
• 1:01:40
  teenager that's really revved up about it.
• 1:01:42
  And then like, maybe like somebody who's a little more
• 1:01:45
  like us or yeah, best time in the gym.
• 1:01:48
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you see all the stories that
• 1:01:50
  are going on in their head and what this means to them because
• 1:01:53
  you know that it will be a grabbing point for every person.
• 1:01:56
  Yeah, OK. I like that better.
• 1:01:58
  So you just pick one gym, but you follow four different people
• 1:02:02
  of various levels. Right.
• 1:02:03
  Yeah. I like that a lot.
• 1:02:06
  And then you get to see like the interactions with them and like
• 1:02:09
  when they hit the PR or when they do the new skill, you know,
• 1:02:13
  getting that that rewarding moment and like everybody, you
• 1:02:16
  know, everybody at the gym cheering them on and how great
• 1:02:19
  those moments are. It would need to be a gym that
• 1:02:21
  definitely does Friday Night Lights.
• 1:02:23
  Yeah, no, it would mean to be like a a gym that's embrace,
• 1:02:26
  that embraces the open. Yeah, for sure.
• 1:02:28
  That would be, that would be such a killer thing.
• 1:02:31
  And then match that with like we're going to do an
• 1:02:33
  announcement. Oh, that would be double cool.
• 1:02:35
  So if like week one, you're following these four people,
• 1:02:38
  they're just doing it at their gym.
• 1:02:40
  Week 2, same thing. Week 3 that gym is hosting an
• 1:02:44
  open announcement and they get to do it out in front of.
• 1:02:47
  Everybody that would be that would be, yeah, that would be
• 1:02:51
  sick. But then it's like that, that
• 1:02:53
  way you could end like this is, you know, the closing out thing
• 1:02:55
  is like this is what our community is all about.
• 1:02:58
  Like this is the fun that we have all that stuff.
• 1:03:02
  John, you say the workouts aren't hard.
• 1:03:05
  Did you not find the burpees in 24.1 hard?
• 1:03:09
  Guys, just because I'm not fast at the workout doesn't mean the
• 1:03:14
  workout is hard, OK? And by the way, Tyler was slower
• 1:03:20
  than me. OK, I beat.
• 1:03:22
  What was 24 one? The burpees and the dumbbell.
• 1:03:26
  Oh yeah, I hated that workout. OK, so we're making fun of me.
• 1:03:31
  I never said I was. I never said the workout was
• 1:03:33
  hard. I'm just saying no, but I'm
• 1:03:35
  saying that's not a hard work. You could do that workout every
• 1:03:38
  freaking day if you wanted to. It's like if you go run a mile,
• 1:03:42
  running a mile is not a hard workout.
• 1:03:44
  You can make it really hard, but just as far as being able to do
• 1:03:49
  it, it's not a hard workout to do.
• 1:03:53
  There's no skill. There's no and then like the
• 1:03:55
  next day you can do a workout like and not really be
• 1:03:59
  effective. I mean, technically, like if you
• 1:04:01
  want to boil it down to it, I don't think 10 ring muscle UPS
• 1:04:04
  is hard. That's not hard, but it is hard
• 1:04:07
  to do. That's what I'm saying.
• 1:04:10
  The majority of the population can't do it.
• 1:04:13
  And like when I'm saying the workouts are easy, it's because
• 1:04:16
  everybody can do every single workout when the workouts in the
• 1:04:22
  open used to be much harder. They started a Ron ring muscle
• 1:04:26
  UPS one year. Yeah.
• 1:04:28
  Like, and I'm not saying every workout has to be like that.
• 1:04:31
  I get there needs to be a workout that's long and that
• 1:04:34
  everybody can do, but that's all three of them right now.
• 1:04:38
  They're like, there's one workout that's a little bit
• 1:04:41
  hard, right? And the other two are like just
• 1:04:44
  the easiest things when it's only three workouts.
• 1:04:47
  I just think they should test skills a little bit more.
• 1:04:49
  They don't I agree totally. I think all of I think all of
• 1:04:53
  the workouts should have some element of skill.
• 1:04:56
  I don't like. So like to to Grant's point,
• 1:04:59
  like he beat me and he's like, how did I beat you?
• 1:05:05
  Like I'm, I'm in the part of my. He's in his grid, he's in his
• 1:05:09
  grid league. I'm I'm in my grid league,
• 1:05:11
  buddy. I'm just in the part of my
• 1:05:13
  career where I'm not interested and I was hitting that fence
• 1:05:16
  hard. Last year, yeah.
• 1:05:18
  Yeah, you were. You were.
• 1:05:20
  I was like ready to quit everything, but I was, I'm in
• 1:05:25
  this phase where I'm just like, I'm not interested in like
• 1:05:28
  destroying myself like that anymore.
• 1:05:30
  Like I like workouts that are fun.
• 1:05:32
  I don't mind hurting, but it's the way that I hurt and there's
• 1:05:36
  just nothing about those workouts.
• 1:05:38
  If it's not a fun hurt, I don't want to do it anymore.
• 1:05:42
  Right. So if you like threw in like 315
• 1:05:44
  deadlifts, I would probably been like, yeah, let's do this all
• 1:05:46
  day, but like throwing around a dumbbell and just breathing
• 1:05:49
  really hard. I.
• 1:05:50
  Would not be like. That just breathing really hard
• 1:05:54
  with a dumbbell. I was like, anyway, did we have
• 1:06:02
  any other news we need to go through?
• 1:06:04
  Tyler, It's called getting old. I know I feel older every
• 1:06:08
  morning. I did a terrible.
• 1:06:10
  I did not think it was going to be terrible.
• 1:06:12
  This morning. It was a 2K bike, C2 bike with
• 1:06:17
  the damper at 10 and I had never done a full workout with the
• 1:06:21
  damper at 10 before. Into 100 GHC sit ups and then
• 1:06:26
  another 2K bike. Rest 5 minutes, 2K bike, 50 tows
• 1:06:31
  a bar, 2K bike, 50 tows a bar, all at all at 10.
• 1:06:37
  And I was like, oh, this will be like an easy like morning.
• 1:06:44
  It's like a 60. You know, it's like 6:00 in the
• 1:06:46
  morning. And I'm like, yeah, this will be
• 1:06:48
  an easy like gymnastics breather.
• 1:06:50
  And then I get done and I, it's like, you know, 1:00 in the
• 1:06:53
  afternoon. And I'm like, why am I fucked
• 1:06:55
  up? Like I was just dragging ass.
• 1:07:01
  What? Come on.
• 1:07:01
  What? Tyler, come on.
• 1:07:05
  You're a math guy. The numbers never actually that
• 1:07:08
  far down. I don't.
• 1:07:11
  I don't know what it's referencing.
• 1:07:12
  Yeah, anyway, that's about all I got, John.
• 1:07:17
  You got anything else? Any other drama?
• 1:07:22
  I don't think so. It's going to be a £50 dumbbell.
• 1:07:25
  You need to at least do week 1 dad before you back out.
• 1:07:30
  Yeah, you better. Do the you better give them,
• 1:07:32
  give them a chance, OK, the the first workout is going to be
• 1:07:37
  everybody can do it. But then after that is where
• 1:07:40
  we'll see. Thanks Grant for the $5.
• 1:07:44
  Can we talk about the repeat workout prediction?
• 1:07:47
  I 20.2, that's what it's going to be.
• 1:07:49
  That's what it is. You heard it here first, Yeah.
• 1:07:52
  Why are you sold on that now? Because I saw you were like.
• 1:07:55
  Because that's what that's what it is.
• 1:07:57
  Because it's so easy. No, no, I actually think that's
• 1:08:01
  a harder. It's hard, easy, real.
• 1:08:04
  Wise dude, no, no, it's easy. Skill wise, it's got double
• 1:08:08
  unders in it. That's hard for, you know, not
• 1:08:10
  everybody can do those, but it's only 24.
• 1:08:14
  The reason why I like it so much for this is because it gives a
• 1:08:18
  good chance for people to try to do double unders even if you
• 1:08:22
  only have a few and you're still doing the whole workout.
• 1:08:27
  Does that make sense? The work 20.2 is a 20 minute
• 1:08:30
  AMRAP 4 dumbbell thrusters, 50 and 30 fives which are heavy
• 1:08:34
  dumbbell thrusters for most people but it's only four six
• 1:08:38
  toes to bar 24 double unders. It's a low amount of reps on
• 1:08:41
  everything and if you've done that workout, you feel fine till
• 1:08:47
  about minute 12 or 13 and then and then you and then you don't
• 1:08:52
  feel fine anymore. I just think it's a really good
• 1:08:57
  cardio workout mixed with other elements and I don't know, I'm
• 1:09:05
  sold on it. I think that's what it is.
• 1:09:06
  It's probably not, but you know, that's what I'm rocking with.
• 1:09:11
  What about you? I just don't like, I don't like
• 1:09:14
  that workout because the amount of transitions like you're just,
• 1:09:17
  you're just turning in a circle for 20 minutes straight, you
• 1:09:20
  know what I mean? Yeah, you know what workout I do
• 1:09:25
  like is 19.1 not as the repeat, but like I I wouldn't mind if
• 1:09:31
  that was. Repeat.
• 1:09:32
  What's that one? That's 19 wall balls, 19 Cal
• 1:09:36
  row, 15 minute AMRAP. You see?
• 1:09:40
  Like, see what's funny is I I like that workout even though
• 1:09:44
  it's all engine and people think I'm super biased.
• 1:09:49
  It's not that I'm super biased, there's just some workouts I
• 1:09:53
  like better than others. So what would it be?
• 1:09:55
  It'd be 2525 now. That's harder.
• 1:09:59
  Is way harder that you're going to get near that 20 and you're
• 1:10:03
  going to be like, oh, I'm starting to blow up like
• 1:10:05
  especially in later rounds. It's going to hurt really bad.
• 1:10:10
  I OK so we got Brandon got back to his Lynn Berry Lynn Lynn
• 1:10:17
  Berry come on, you're a math guy.
• 1:10:19
  The open registration was never down that much.
• 1:10:21
  Day one was really bad last year, which inflated the percent
• 1:10:25
  down there the there further we get away from that outlier.
• 1:10:33
  Whatever. I know I'm a math guy, but I
• 1:10:36
  believe in the the spirit of Crossfitters around the world.
• 1:10:43
  Yeah, I like, I know there's going to be a burner that I
• 1:10:46
  don't like, like one that I'm going to like the the proven .1,
• 1:10:52
  the proven workout that we did with with the that.
• 1:10:54
  Was that was similar to 24.1 quite frankly.
• 1:10:58
  That was my worst proven workout by far, and I just have to like,
• 1:11:04
  hype myself up for that one 'cause I'm like, OK, like after
• 1:11:08
  this one, they're all probably going to be more fun.
• 1:11:13
  So yeah, there was some stuff in here about Albany, like we've
• 1:11:17
  already talked about Albany. The anything I have.
• 1:11:21
  I actually talked to some people at my gym about the Annie thing,
• 1:11:26
  which I was. I was interested that it got
• 1:11:28
  that much like. Traction.
• 1:11:31
  Traction. I was like, of all the things
• 1:11:34
  like why Annie said that got to you guys?
• 1:11:38
  But so Annie said on her, on Pedro's video or no, the Buttery
• 1:11:44
  Bros, that she morally couldn't do the open, morally wasn't
• 1:11:51
  going to do the open. What did they?
• 1:11:55
  Question did they question on her?
• 1:11:58
  They questioned her like what morals specifically?
• 1:12:01
  No, of course not. What?
• 1:12:02
  What morally go into detail on that?
• 1:12:06
  Yeah, what do you mean morals? And then what I just thought was
• 1:12:10
  hilarious was that she said like, no judgement for anybody
• 1:12:14
  who who's going to do it. But I'm like, well, you can't
• 1:12:18
  say morals and then follow that up with no judgement because
• 1:12:21
  it's like morals you probably should be judging people on,
• 1:12:26
  right? If those morals are that
• 1:12:28
  important to you, like John, and be like, OK, you know, I can't
• 1:12:33
  cheat on you. You saying I can't cheat on my
• 1:12:35
  wife, but not, you know, no judgement if you do cheat on
• 1:12:38
  your wife. You know what I'm saying?
• 1:12:42
  It's like you can't, you can't just flip flop on this.
• 1:12:45
  Boy, when you make it like that analogy, yeah, that's rough.
• 1:12:49
  That's rough. That's rough.
• 1:12:50
  Yeah, it's OK. Listen, I totally just keep it.
• 1:12:54
  We'll keep rolling it out. I can't kill 6 million people.
• 1:12:58
  But no judgement if you. If you.
• 1:13:00
  Do. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:13:02
  No judgement here. It's a judgement free zone.
• 1:13:06
  It's like that when you say morals, like it becomes a
• 1:13:08
  judgement zone. I and then she came out and said
• 1:13:15
  like, oh, that was that. It was taken out of context.
• 1:13:18
  They did have like a, they did cut it like it did.
• 1:13:21
  You did see her like face change.
• 1:13:23
  Yeah, but also that was probably cut to protect, not to I.
• 1:13:30
  Don't think so. You think she said something
• 1:13:34
  good and they cut it to make it worse.
• 1:13:36
  Not necessarily. I think she might have.
• 1:13:40
  There might have been more context with the same worst
• 1:13:46
  thing. I don't think it was what like
• 1:13:48
  like she said what she said. So it would have just.
• 1:13:51
  Added the context. It would just she.
• 1:13:53
  Morally can't do it, but maybe, she said, and This is why and
• 1:13:58
  and they cut that part. But they cut before she got to
• 1:14:02
  that, not at not. At yeah, but OK, OK, if she's
• 1:14:04
  like the way they handled the Lazar stuff, I just I morally
• 1:14:08
  don't want to do it doesn't make it any better, but it would give
• 1:14:15
  like she did say why? I think she did say that in the
• 1:14:20
  video. OK, that's cool.
• 1:14:25
  But then the doubling down of like you.
• 1:14:27
  You. You will be missed, Miss Annie.
• 1:14:29
  This was taken out of context. I I I think it wasn't taken out
• 1:14:34
  of context. We just filled in the gaps.
• 1:14:37
  Oh oh, I don't think it was taken out of context.
• 1:14:39
  Let me get that straight. I'm sorry if that turned time
• 1:14:41
  was that sounded like that. I don't think it was taken out
• 1:14:44
  of context, I just think there was more context.
• 1:14:48
  Yeah, it's doubling down on the context we already understand.
• 1:14:51
  Yeah, contextually speaking, there was more to be heard.
• 1:14:59
  None of which would have added any benefit to any of us.
• 1:15:04
  Yeah, we were talking about I just.
• 1:15:06
  Annie lives in my head as a hero, and I'm.
• 1:15:09
  She's going to keep her like I'm going to keep her that way.
• 1:15:12
  I'm not going to. I'm not going to.
• 1:15:14
  Let her soil her image in your brain.
• 1:15:17
  Yeah, I like you're good. Yeah, I, I felt a little bit
• 1:15:21
  bad. Like I, I it is bad.
• 1:15:27
  It is like which? Like it's a bad taste when you
• 1:15:32
  hear that from her, but I do feel bad about how like how fast
• 1:15:37
  everybody turns on on her so harshly.
• 1:15:43
  Not saying it's not earned, but like there's just nothing but
• 1:15:48
  negative comments, you know what I mean?
• 1:15:51
  Yeah. And I'm like, Annie's been here
• 1:15:54
  for freaking 15 years. I don't care what kind of a
• 1:15:59
  person she is. She could be a horrible person,
• 1:16:01
  but she's inspired a ton of people to do CrossFit.
• 1:16:05
  Mason, if you're boycotting, usually could have a resolution.
• 1:16:09
  Yeah. And that's my thing is like, she
• 1:16:11
  didn't offer any, like, just really upset with how it was
• 1:16:15
  handled. It's like, OK, how should it be
• 1:16:17
  handled differently? What would you have done?
• 1:16:20
  And it's like they they'd never say those things.
• 1:16:22
  And that's what always drives me up a wall about it.
• 1:16:26
  When they're, when they're vague and coy about it, Right.
• 1:16:30
  Yeah. No, no, no, I get that.
• 1:16:31
  I get that big time. It's like, what's that?
• 1:16:38
  Whatever her name is, the the people are dying.
• 1:16:41
  She's the like the, the climate change girl.
• 1:16:46
  It's like she just says people are dying and people are dying.
• 1:16:49
  Yeah, it's like, and you know, I just want to stop there.
• 1:16:53
  And it's like, yeah, well, we, we need a little more out of
• 1:16:56
  that. Like what I feel about Annie is
• 1:17:00
  like, it's like, you know how you know?
• 1:17:03
  You know how like Mike Tyson, Mike Tyson was heralded.
• 1:17:08
  Like Mike, everybody loved Mike Tyson.
• 1:17:10
  He was the fiercest boxer we'd ever seen.
• 1:17:12
  And then he kind of just went off the deep end and we're like,
• 1:17:15
  OK, that's Mike Tyson now, right?
• 1:17:17
  But like, but we can, we can remember him for what he was at.
• 1:17:21
  And then we just kind of like and then he kind of did went
• 1:17:24
  another out. What do you mean?
• 1:17:26
  Like what do you go off the deep end on hitting that guy on the
• 1:17:29
  plane? I liked him more after he did
• 1:17:32
  that. No, I mean, I mean like going
• 1:17:34
  bankrupt and faking fights with Jake Paul.
• 1:17:37
  Like, like I'm saying, that's not Mike Tyson that we remember.
• 1:17:41
  Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, OK. Like I'm choosing to remember
• 1:17:45
  Mike Tyson as back then. I'm choosing to remember Annie
• 1:17:50
  as, you know, Mount Rushmore Annie, right.
• 1:17:54
  And then if she is out, OK, she's out.
• 1:17:58
  Like it doesn't like I do definitely that.
• 1:18:02
  But I'm going to choose to remember her as what she was and
• 1:18:05
  not just harp on, OK, she kind of left, right?
• 1:18:08
  She left. It's a wrap.
• 1:18:10
  And that's what's great like about Bo Jackson.
• 1:18:13
  Think about Catherine too. Like I just feel like we forget
• 1:18:15
  people so fast for what they were, you know what I mean?
• 1:18:20
  I got and I think that's a little sad.
• 1:18:23
  We remember Bo Jackson like he's the best thing ever and he and
• 1:18:27
  he really wasn't. He was like the greatest.
• 1:18:29
  He was amazing athlete. But go look like if you go look
• 1:18:32
  about his running back stacks, he wasn't Adrian Peterson.
• 1:18:36
  It's just when he broke off a run and man, it looked crazy,
• 1:18:39
  but like there was a whole bunch of runs that were two yards.
• 1:18:42
  Sure, you know, but you know what I'm saying?
• 1:18:44
  Like, but we remember Bo Jackson.
• 1:18:46
  Like he was Barry Sanders and he wasn't Barry.
• 1:18:48
  Sanders Well, that's the thing about like Annie, we actually
• 1:18:51
  did like, do you remember some great moments like as far as
• 1:18:53
  like her performance? But like one of the things that
• 1:18:56
  stands out for Annie for me is when she got that muscle up and
• 1:18:58
  it was like, that was actually not a like, you got one muscle
• 1:19:01
  up. What she did that was so
• 1:19:06
  inspirational and LED so many women to trying out CrossFit for
• 1:19:10
  the first time, Probably a hundred 100,000 of people, the
• 1:19:14
  millions of people have seen that clip.
• 1:19:16
  What how awesome that was. I walked into a gym and I did it
• 1:19:20
  on the first try and I didn't even know what it was.
• 1:19:24
  That's the like, like, like, you know what I'm saying?
• 1:19:26
  It's but I want to remember her for that stuff.
• 1:19:29
  Not not this, not this stuff within my opinion.
• 1:19:32
  Like she's done, she's gone. It's over for but like I want to
• 1:19:36
  remember the memory of her. What I would like to know like I
• 1:19:41
  can play devil's advocate and be like, would it be more
• 1:19:44
  constructive for her to have said I'm going to do the open,
• 1:19:49
  but I'm really disappointed in CrossFit and I want to push for
• 1:19:52
  change, but because I believe in CrossFit, not in HQ, right.
• 1:19:58
  Yeah And and the, the value that CrossFit creates.
• 1:20:04
  Yeah, right. I like why couldn't she have
• 1:20:07
  done that and why haven't the athletes done that?
• 1:20:09
  I would like to know like I. Would rather do that.
• 1:20:11
  I feel like James is trying to do that.
• 1:20:17
  Summer we don't care much about Annie Spill of JRT.
• 1:20:21
  There is no JRT. It's been.
• 1:20:24
  Dog dog drinking up. Dog drink been drinking?
• 1:20:29
  Everything's fine. But we appreciate the 499.
• 1:20:35
  Sorry for wasting your money like.
• 1:20:37
  That actually, you know what there is JRT and if the
• 1:20:39
  donations or if the yeah, the donations get up to around
• 1:20:43
  $300.00, we'll probably spill that tea.
• 1:20:45
  You're just $300.00, that's our price.
• 1:20:48
  For for you think you think it should be.
• 1:20:50
  Higher, just explaining everything and then just just
• 1:20:53
  just, it's then every like, yeah, I think it should be
• 1:20:57
  higher. Yeah, I'm going to say $3000 and
• 1:21:01
  then we will tell and then we'll say everything there is to say.
• 1:21:04
  That's the running fight. That's what you're saying,
• 1:21:05
  Tyler. Yeah, OK, $1000 is pretty good.
• 1:21:10
  It's been upped. Sorry.
• 1:21:11
  You guys should have get 300 so smacked.
• 1:21:13
  We're we're waiting. We're waiting.
• 1:21:18
  Yeah, if the unknown comes in drops $1000. $300.00 is so,
• 1:21:22
  yeah. The Unknown listens to this
• 1:21:24
  podcast. Tyler.
• 1:21:25
  He's a secret billionaire, Yeah. If he comes in and drops the
• 1:21:28
  cash, I'll tell you guys whatever you want to know.
• 1:21:32
  Stop bothering people. That's what you should stop
• 1:21:35
  doing. Stop bothering people.
• 1:21:38
  That would actually be nuts. Like I might get nervous because
• 1:21:41
  I would honor it. Like if if the unknown cop came
• 1:21:45
  in here and dropped 3 grand, I'd be like, OK, for this show and
• 1:21:49
  this show only you can ask whatever you want.
• 1:21:53
  I would get really nervous. So I would honor it.
• 1:21:56
  I would honor it, but I would be like, guys, it's 3 grand like we
• 1:21:59
  have to you're. Going to have to OK that I hate
• 1:22:02
  when people are saying that I started it.
• 1:22:04
  You need to, you need to, you need to fix that.
• 1:22:07
  OK, that needs to be remedied because I said no lie.
• 1:22:15
  I've started nothing. John started nothing.
• 1:22:18
  I will. That's me fixing it, John.
• 1:22:21
  John's not involved. Thank you.
• 1:22:25
  Thank you. That's all.
• 1:22:26
  That's all I ask. OK.
• 1:22:27
  Leave me. Leave me out of it.
• 1:22:30
  Well, about the JRT What happened to Hobart?
• 1:22:36
  Dude, that dude. Talk about Jared from Subway.
• 1:22:39
  I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
• 1:22:40
  You're not. You're not.
• 1:22:41
  You're not running with that at all.
• 1:22:45
  What happened to Hobart? OK, you got $5.
• 1:22:48
  All right, these are good. Keep these coming.
• 1:22:51
  What's up with the out deal? So they sent me some out pouches
• 1:22:57
  and they're absolutely. You explain what ALP is.
• 1:22:59
  So Alpa's just Zen. It's just it's made by Tucker
• 1:23:03
  Carlson and then. Fine.
• 1:23:06
  Fine, folks, but you know, it's a Tucker Carlson institution and
• 1:23:11
  it's garbage. It's not as good as the real
• 1:23:15
  thing. I had 1 and I was like, I'm
• 1:23:18
  never putting one of these in my mouth ever again.
• 1:23:20
  It's not the worst Zen type product that I've had, but it's
• 1:23:24
  not great. Now they do have a cool tin like
• 1:23:27
  a Zen 10 and it's I think it's made out of aluminum that is
• 1:23:33
  like the best Zen 10 on the planet.
• 1:23:37
  But they're the Zens. They have actually suck.
• 1:23:40
  Do you want to interpret this? Remember when John was Brian's
• 1:23:45
  rival? When we still liked Brian?
• 1:23:48
  John knew the whole time. I'm trying to, I'm trying to
• 1:23:53
  interpret that and I don't know how.
• 1:23:55
  I don't know. I don't know what I.
• 1:23:56
  He means he means that Well, what did all the whole time that
• 1:24:01
  that you were better. OK.
• 1:24:06
  You were just like, yeah, they'll figure it out.
• 1:24:09
  Well, I feel like I was probably really outspoken about that, but
• 1:24:12
  I don't. Can't Thank you.
• 1:24:16
  I'm saying you're thinking, what did I know exactly?
• 1:24:19
  John knew nothing. Well, no truer statement has
• 1:24:23
  been spoken when I say there's a lot of things that I know, but
• 1:24:26
  at the same time I don't know anything about about what I know
• 1:24:31
  and I. All I have to understand about
• 1:24:33
  John is he's, he's not like Yoda says, you live too much in the
• 1:24:38
  always thinking on what you're going where, what you'll be
• 1:24:40
  doing instead of where you are. And John, John's a moment.
• 1:24:46
  John's a walking moment. I don't know what's about to
• 1:24:50
  happen, I just let it. Happen.
• 1:24:54
  That's my favorite thing about John.
• 1:24:56
  It's just like it's minute by minute, baby.
• 1:25:00
  Sounds. Good.
• 1:25:01
  All right. I take my life one minute at a
• 1:25:03
  time. What else does Vin Diesel say?
• 1:25:06
  How can I phrase that one? Quarter mile at a time.
• 1:25:09
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, John goes 132nd interval
• 1:25:13
  at a time. Yeah, we get past that.
• 1:25:16
  I get out of breath. Tyler go collab with the games
• 1:25:20
  and Castro. What the hell am I going to do
• 1:25:23
  with them? Yeah, like I did Spin.
• 1:25:29
  Spin posted a video of us and collab to the games.
• 1:25:32
  You know what they should post the mountain we need to, we need
• 1:25:35
  to they, they, that's what they need to do.
• 1:25:38
  They need to post the mountain we should collab.
• 1:25:41
  Next mountain we need to collab with them.
• 1:25:45
  When that I don't know why, because Spence collab with him
• 1:25:49
  before on some stuff we've done, but that one like my heart kind
• 1:25:55
  of raced a little bit because like I went on the like I was
• 1:25:59
  on, you know, the CrossFit games Instagram.
• 1:26:02
  Like there are moments I was listening to the Oh, the PFT
• 1:26:08
  guys or PMT. Yeah, PMT guys.
• 1:26:11
  And they've been talking about like how they came up and, and
• 1:26:13
  what their whole thing has been like.
• 1:26:14
  And like when they realized like they were kind of onto
• 1:26:17
  something. And I think PFT was like, yeah,
• 1:26:19
  like this guy was wearing our shirt in this restaurant just
• 1:26:22
  happened to me and we were in New York.
• 1:26:24
  And like there are moments where I'm not saying like we're a big
• 1:26:27
  deal, but it's like there's more moments where I look back and
• 1:26:29
  I'm like, man, in in 2014, if I were to say like, Hey, the games
• 1:26:34
  will like repost a take that you had, that's kind of crazy.
• 1:26:39
  Yeah, dude. And it's like I'm not really
• 1:26:42
  accomplished anything, but it is like I've, I've been in this a
• 1:26:44
  long time. No, I'm.
• 1:26:46
  Saying like as soon as the games collabs on the mountain, I'll
• 1:26:49
  feel like I've made it like this is now legitimate.
• 1:26:52
  I'm the guy. Yes, the mountain is like Jeff.
• 1:26:56
  Jeff better care about the mountain.
• 1:26:57
  It's on the CrossFit Games website.
• 1:26:59
  It's. Stands it's in the record, it's.
• 1:27:01
  It's a rich tapestry of fitness history, man.
• 1:27:07
  It's the richest it's going to be yeah that was that was a cool
• 1:27:11
  moment to see us up there doing that thing.
• 1:27:14
  And so anyway for the donations are over no unknown it's
• 1:27:18
  happening all. Right, guys.
• 1:27:21
  Yeah, Yeah, We appreciate you. If you have any questions about
• 1:27:26
  Not Jr. put them in the comments.
• 1:27:31
  What else, Tyler? Sign up Register.
• 1:27:35
  Sign up for the open. I actually signed up this code.
• 1:27:39
  Oh, I didn't do that. I my bad.
• 1:27:41
  What? I just signed up while we were
• 1:27:44
  doing the podcast. Oh, did you really?
• 1:27:47
  That's OK, Just use use code spin a check out.
• 1:27:51
  It won't get you anything but. But if you do want to use code
• 1:27:55
  spin, use it on frog grips. OK.
• 1:27:59
  Get yourself some grips. I really do like.
• 1:28:01
  I know that they're a sponsor, but and somebody was reaching
• 1:28:04
  out to me the other day and they were like, what do I get?
• 1:28:06
  And I was like, I just compared all of them.
• 1:28:08
  I was like, I've had Bear grips, I've had Victory grips, I've had
• 1:28:11
  all these other grips. Frog grips are literally the
• 1:28:14
  best grips I've ever had. Toastavar Chestavar by far they
• 1:28:18
  are the best I think bar muscle UPS any grip.
• 1:28:21
  Any grip works just because you're moving.
• 1:28:24
  But toastavar chestavar. Seriously they are.
• 1:28:27
  They are significantly better than other grips.
• 1:28:31
  They make a huge difference. I feel like on my ring muscle
• 1:28:33
  UPS I can hold on for bigger a little bit like one or two extra
• 1:28:36
  reps because of them. Frog Ribs is also a cool
• 1:28:40
  company. They they made us I guess some
• 1:28:42
  some custom belts and I'm excited to get those.
• 1:28:50
  They haven't come in yet, but I hope they do.
• 1:28:53
  They're just good dudes. Sean's a good dude.
• 1:28:56
  Support the dizzy frog grips. Anyway, I think that'll be about
• 1:29:00
  it. TuneIn next week, 7:30 Eastern
• 1:29:03
  Time. Appreciate everybody.
• 1:29:05
  Should have spin back. We should have.
• 1:29:07

• 1:29:10
