  Syndicate Crown, They didn't take off the overlay all right.
• 0:56
  That is not a depiction of Knoxville.
• 0:59
  It is not. Knoxville is one of the best
• 1:01
  places in the world, especially March.
• 1:03
  May 29th through 31st. Jeez John, we're off to a great
• 1:10
  start. We are off to a great start.
• 1:12
  I feel terrible. I am getting sick.
• 1:16
  Perfect timing before the Open. You want to get sick right
• 1:20
  before the open because then you know you won't get sick during
• 1:22
  the open. I actually feel pretty sick
• 1:25
  right now too. Yeah, well, you just slammed 3
• 1:28
  tacos in about 60 seconds. 5 and.
• 1:32
  I'm hurting. I get hurt to do it.
• 1:34
  That's why I was really hoping to get it done before the
• 1:36
  commercial was over and I had like half of it left and I was
• 1:39
  like, that's why I did my screen.
• 1:41
  I wanted to. That's fair, James, what is
• 1:47
  going on? Sorry.
• 1:48
  Is John back from Japan? You went to Japan I.
• 1:53
  Was somewhere. Your audio is.
• 1:57
  Check. Check.
• 2:00
  It's cutting out there, Chief. Wiggle your cable.
• 2:03
  Plug it. Plug it in, John.
• 2:05
  The cable that I my cable that I know you've bent by now.
• 2:08
  My plug came undone. I'm sorry.
• 2:11
  Yeah, you sound terrible James. Hogwarts second comment.
• 2:14
  I don't think so. I see two at least two above you
• 2:17
  and got Chattanoofie Tyler. Does your wife know if there's
• 2:25
  any availability at the San Diego CrossFit Medical Society
• 2:28
  event? February 21st to 22nd maybe?
• 2:36
  Jeanette, if you know, just freaking put it in the comments.
• 2:40
  That's. Thank you for paying $10 to make
• 2:43
  that joke. How about?
• 2:45
  How about? How about now you're good?
• 2:47
  There you go, Melanie Hodge. Remember, for 26 months.
• 2:52
  That might be longer than the show.
• 2:56
  Yeah, pretty close. Yeah, John, did you go to Japan?
• 3:01
  I cannot reveal any of that. Japan.
• 3:07
  South Korea, Japan. OK, that's fair.
• 3:11
  It's cold, I understand. This has been if you hear
• 3:14
  coughing, that's her in the background, coming down from her
• 3:17
  belt of the sickness. The triple, the quadruple eyes
• 3:21
  there, her coughing. Yeah, exactly, exactly.
• 3:25
  All right, well, let's get started, because who knows how
• 3:27
  long I'll make it. First off, viewer comments.
• 3:32
  First of all, between Tyler's video that had over 100 comments
• 3:38
  and last week's show had over 50, there are a lot to choose
• 3:42
  from. And so I figured we should have
• 3:47
  somebody prestigious come in, maybe from the NBA.
• 3:52
  Roger Adele. No.
• 3:55
  No, no, no, we couldn't do that. What's his face?
• 3:58
  Who owns the Bulls? No, this guy, he's not a role
• 4:02
  model. Oh, I know who it is.
• 4:05
  Immediately SO. We'll find out.
• 4:08
  We got got a handful of your comments.
• 4:10
  Let's get started. Hey guys, it's Charles Barkley.
• 4:15
  I remember trying CrossFit years ago.
• 4:18
  It's been a while. Maybe I will sign up for the
• 4:20
  open, but first viewer comments at Jordan Seppala.
• 4:24
  Crossfitter should have been having more children.
• 4:28
  That that comment was so great. I was like, I mean, I don't
• 4:31
  disagree, but. I mean, it makes sense, right?
• 4:34
  If you need to, if you need to fill that generational gap, you
• 4:38
  need to have some kids that you know could do CrossFit.
• 4:40
  I I have to imagine that the general population of parents
• 4:46
  who do CrossFit, a higher percentage of their children do
• 4:49
  CrossFit then if it is not the case, especially in the under 18
• 4:55
  category. A lot like real, real talk for a
• 4:59
  second. I do think a lot like Braun is
• 5:03
  like advancing really quickly. And I swear it's because like he
• 5:06
  watches this work out half the time.
• 5:08
  Like watches people move all the time.
• 5:11
  He's pretty mobile too, right? Comparatively.
• 5:12
  Comparatively. Compared to me, that's what can
• 5:17
  CrossFit do to ensure that Crossfitters are having more
• 5:22
  babies? Join the CrossFit.
• 5:26
  I can think of one thing. What?
• 5:29
  But no way. The way that you have it,
• 5:35
  whether you have babies. What are you doing over there,
• 5:36
  John? This does not taste like Grape
• 5:41
  Propel. I don't know what it is.
• 5:44
  It's a new bottle, but that was bad.
• 5:47
  Whatever, Whatever I just put in my mouth that was that was bad.
• 5:50
  Going to have to go to Old Faithful.
• 5:52
  Just got back up there get. A little red 40 in your system
• 5:55
  during the show? That's a good idea.
• 5:57
  I mean, I think. You know you hits the spot every
• 5:59
  time. You highlighted it, go ahead.
• 6:01
  But we, I was looking at our demographics on YouTube and
• 6:08
  look, we have one of the probably the highest percentage
• 6:10
  of female audiences. I'm confident in CrossFit space.
• 6:16
  I mean, it's like upwards of 35 to 40% and it probably, you
• 6:21
  know, could be higher. I think videos like your video
• 6:25
  is like 80% men, 20% women, but live, all the women watch us
• 6:29
  live. And so we're at 40%.
• 6:32
  The one thing that's crazy is that our 18 to 24 demographic .3
• 6:40
  percent, 0.3%, they do not like our show.
• 6:45
  We've got a problem, Tyler. I don't know if they don't like
• 6:48
  it. I think they just don't know
• 6:49
  about it or they don't care. We got to get into colleges.
• 6:54
  Do a college tour. I like that.
• 6:55
  We got to get into college. I've done enough stupid stuff.
• 6:58
  You would think college kids would watch it, but.
• 7:00
  Did I started doing when, when, when we started talking about
• 7:04
  that, I started like looking into what what, what the kids
• 7:07
  are into these days, asking the girls at the gym.
• 7:10
  And it's just like, I don't know if we can pull that off.
• 7:13
  There we go. Matthew, Matthew, then I would
• 7:15
  say to you, what are you doing? Talk this up.
• 7:19
  Spread the word. Matthew, you want a job?
• 7:21
  We need to appeal to the 18 to 24 year olds.
• 7:24
  Yeah, Matthew, we will give you your $2.00 streaming fee for
• 7:28
  Syndicate. We'll give you that for free to.
• 7:32
  Bring on a new. I need 1018 to 24 year olds.
• 7:37
  Too much boomer humor. I got an old.
• 7:39
  You know what? You know what?
• 7:40
  Hold on. We're trying to appeal to the
• 7:41
  the younger. I need 67 new 18 to 24 year old.
• 7:47
  OK, that's what I mean. It's on.
• 7:50
  It's on you, Matthew. Are you in college, Matthew?
• 7:55
  Let's find that out. Tell us about yourself, Matthew.
• 7:58
  Yeah, that's. Right, you might.
• 7:59
  You might be a guest in the show.
• 8:01
  Crossfat, I know you're older than us and I don't even know
• 8:04
  what mogging means I've. I I've seen this clavicular dude
• 8:09
  like on X or whatever the last like week and I have zero clue
• 8:13
  what's going on. We we just need.
• 8:16
  To get on TikTok, man. Tik Tok's worth that.
• 8:19
  I know I hear you. No you don't spend your time.
• 8:22
  Just post though but. Then you think they're going to
• 8:26
  care. I think it'll hit more people
• 8:29
  than we got now. That's what I.
• 8:30
  Think it can't hurt? Dude, my snap, my snatch video
• 8:38
  and and the grid, the grid league is it's it's 60 percent,
• 8:43
  60% female. Really.
• 8:46
  The views are 60% female. On what so?
• 8:49
  No other video is that all the rest are like 20 and 830307020
• 8:54
  and 80 like what the man is this man?
• 8:57
  The snatch one on is is like 60% female.
• 9:01
  I'm like that What? How did that happen?
• 9:06
  I think it got posted on some Pinterest deal and then the
• 9:10
  females got a hold of it. But it's, it's, it's wild.
• 9:13
  Maybe that's how we have the women's crowd.
• 9:15
  Maybe we're somebody's copying our stuff and putting it on
• 9:17
  Pinterest. I also don't understand that
• 9:19
  side of things, but. And like my shorts don't even
• 9:22
  like, it's not even like the shortest they've ever looked,
• 9:24
  like the clean and jerk video. My shorts are way shorter.
• 9:26
  So it's not like, it's not like a, it's not like a sexy deal.
• 9:31
  You know what I mean? You don't know girls be looking
• 9:35
  at calves and stuff, John. My calves are trash, man.
• 9:39
  I got. I got.
• 9:41
  It's that dump. Like my calves are really skinny
• 9:43
  in the bottom and then thick at the top.
• 9:45
  Like I got black calves, black sprinter.
• 9:48
  Yeah, I understand what they look.
• 9:49
  I understand high, high and tight.
• 9:51
  Yes. Yeah, OK, Girls will be looking
• 9:55
  at hands and calves. That's that's what they look at
• 9:57
  my. Hands are.
• 9:58
  Small. Yeah, I know you're.
• 10:00
  You're maybe they're just like, look at those.
• 10:03
  You literally. You literally.
• 10:05
  Look at this. It's not always good.
• 10:06
  Views are not always good. John.
• 10:08
  You look at this dude's hands. You literally have picked the
• 10:10
  two worst body parts that I have.
• 10:15
  That's insane. My ears stick out, but other
• 10:20
  than that. That's fair.
• 10:22
  Let's see what Charles has to say for the second comment.
• 10:26
  Next up is from friend of Bill W Whoa.
• 10:29
  WFP were smart, which they're not.
• 10:33
  They would do that one event a year with major payouts and
• 10:39
  schedule it same weekend as the games.
• 10:42
  The athletes. What is going on?
• 10:44
  WFP. Did you guys hear it?
• 10:47
  Awesome eggs what they'd make at the games and would essentially
• 10:52
  kill the games if they did. They every year for five years.
• 10:59
  Then they split off into the four comps a year, which is what
• 11:02
  it seems like they want. Also.
• 11:05
  The Games could also do this, making their semifinals the same
• 11:10
  weekends as WFPI Root for CrossFit.
• 11:17
  So. If you.
• 11:18
  Didn't catch it. He basically said the WFP, if
• 11:21
  they wanted to take over, just schedule a WFP event or the
• 11:27
  finals or do something and put it on the weekend of the games
• 11:30
  but pay like 4 times the amount of the game's winnings.
• 11:34
  So everybody just wants to go to that competition.
• 11:38
  Do it for five years until CrossFit can't survive, they
• 11:40
  call it quits and then then you can go into your full 4
• 11:45
  competition season. And then, On the contrary, the
• 11:49
  CrossFit Games should just schedule on to over their
• 11:53
  competitions to bury them instead if they don't change
• 11:56
  what they're doing so. It won't work.
• 12:00
  I mean, it'd be cool, but I don't think it's going to work.
• 12:04
  Can you just you don't have to do either or just put your
• 12:07
  competition in December and pay them a massive amount or say you
• 12:10
  want to be part of the semi final season to make it the most
• 12:14
  lucrative competition there is. Let's see Daniel Ornson, when is
• 12:21
  the draft? The draft Brian or Tyler don't
• 12:25
  fight over me. JY hasn't forgiven me for
• 12:27
  leaving his program. That's not true, Daniel.
• 12:30
  You're just not fit enough. And I don't think they drafted
• 12:35
  you either, by the way, just so everybody knows it's tough to.
• 12:38
  Get into the. Yeah, it's tough to get into the
• 12:41
  draft, but Daniel, PR Ed, every single lift that there ever was.
• 12:45
  And and then he was like, all right, thanks, bro.
• 12:48
  I appreciate all the work. And then, yeah, Daniel, tell me
• 12:53
  if that's wrong, because I want the people to know.
• 12:56
  And honestly, it's about 5050 with that.
• 12:59
  And that's why JY Barbeau Fitness has come to pass,
• 13:02
  because it's this is fitness with a little bit of a strength
• 13:07
  bias. What most people want that
• 13:11
  aren't competing, they just want to be a little bit stronger and
• 13:14
  they want to look good naked and Daniel right there you're not
• 13:19
  it's. A ringing endorsement, honestly.
• 13:21
  Like if you PR every lift and you're like, see, I mean like he
• 13:24
  can't be super mad at. Him No, no, I'm not mad, but
• 13:26
  that's about half of the clientele.
• 13:28
  That's what happens is they PR everything and then they're
• 13:31
  like, I got what I wanted, thank you.
• 13:33
  It's been real. And then they're gone and it's
• 13:35
  about like a three month, three month cycle.
• 13:37
  And then and I think that's what I want to do for everybody.
• 13:40
  And then if they want to stay on to JY Barbell Fitness, $25.00 a
• 13:44
  month, first two weeks for free jybarbell.com go get it.
• 13:48
  Let me make you strong. What's the?
• 13:49
  Website. What's the website again?
• 13:51
  Jybarbell.com. Is there a code spin for some
• 13:55
  type of savings? You get 2 weeks free.
• 13:58
  You do get 2 weeks free. Use code spin get 2 weeks free.
• 14:01
  We might could use hey hey we might could do code spin and get
• 14:04
  a month off. Oh, but will they get their PRS
• 14:08
  by then? We don't want to.
• 14:09
  We don't want to push it. Yeah, If you're going to, if you
• 14:11
  want to PR everything, you got to go the individual route, OK,
• 14:15
  because we are cycled just to get you strong, right?
• 14:19
  You could do code spin gets you one week free because you know
• 14:22
  it's going to be so good that you're going to stay on and want
• 14:24
  to pay earlier. That's true.
• 14:26
  King Charles was right, WFP came out as soft wimps.
• 14:30
  They had a small window to go hard.
• 14:32
  More cash and scheduling conflicts forcing athletes to
• 14:35
  make a choice. I agree with this.
• 14:38
  Like they came out with big money and big money.
• 14:41
  Like in all the wrong ways. Like you.
• 14:43
  You should have balled harder than they balled they had.
• 14:47
  They had a moment of faith and they didn't capitalize on it.
• 14:51
  Yeah. And then you lose people and now
• 14:53
  you got to if you want to get those guys back, it's going to
• 14:57
  be hard to do. Real quick, I want to, I want to
• 15:01
  comment on this. I'm not telling you to leave,
• 15:03
  Sentinel. Supplemental.
• 15:04
  Yeah, no, I mean, I'm not even. So you knew both.
• 15:06
  This is for people that want a little bit of a strength bias.
• 15:10
  That's all it is. It's a CrossFit program with a
• 15:13
  little bit of a strength bias. I think John also under cells
• 15:16
  like JY Jeanette will tell me some of these met cons she's
• 15:19
  done and I'm like, yeah, at least you're not losing fitness
• 15:23
  like. Oh dude, no.
• 15:25
  I mean, they're some of them are meant to F you up.
• 15:27
  Like it's like you got to be, you got to be pretty.
• 15:30
  Great, somebody over can over program a workout.
• 15:32
  It's John, not. True, I have one.
• 15:37
  Workout we have, we have senior workouts.
• 15:39
  John, what was that bike one? No, that's the one I always post
• 15:42
  the hardest. One of the.
• 15:44
  Week. No, it was like it was like 6
• 15:45
  months ago and all the all the girls were like, I couldn't
• 15:49
  finish it. John, that was a.
• 15:50
  Disaster. Oh, yeah, Yeah.
• 15:51
  I did that with flawless aplomb, by the way.
• 15:54
  They should have scaled and they didn't.
• 15:57
  Listen, I'm a big proponent of you program for the best and you
• 16:00
  scale for the rest. All of the best programmers in
• 16:02
  the world, that's what they do. That's what they live by.
• 16:05
  That's what Greg Glassman wanted.
• 16:07
  That's the methodology. You should have scaled 195 ring
• 16:10
  muscle. I should have scaled to 195 ring
• 16:12
  muscles. Absolutely.
• 16:14
  But listen, I wasn't there for the girls.
• 16:16
  I would have seen them on the 1st first round and then I would
• 16:18
  have said hey, we're going, we're going to 20s or we're only
• 16:23
  doing every other round because this is about to get bad.
• 16:27
  They just froze to sit there in there suffering and it was, it
• 16:32
  was really bad. I was not there for that, but I
• 16:35
  did the workout just fine. So it wasn't over programmed.
• 16:38
  They just go. That's my favorite thing about
• 16:41
  the way healer programs is he'll write RX and then he'll do RX
• 16:46
  plus. And I know basically every time
• 16:49
  he programs RX plus, it's like go ahead.
• 16:53
  Like you won't go ahead. There's only a handful of people
• 16:58
  that can do it. It's usually their, it's usually
• 17:00
  their wheelhouse workout. It's not every time.
• 17:02
  It's the only time I've done his.
• 17:04
  There's there's, there are workouts like he does the RX
• 17:07
  plus I usually have one workout a week where it's like, if you
• 17:11
  want to RX this you, you got to be pretty freaking quick.
• 17:15
  Kylie is new new for about a about a week and she's doing
• 17:19
  them both, but she wanted to get a little bit stronger because
• 17:22
  she's got a weightlifting competition coming up.
• 17:25
  Yeah, I'm going to have to get on his new program, Hiller's new
• 17:29
  program, after I get back from this flu.
• 17:33
  So work back into it. Yeah.
• 17:35
  Just 100 jumping jacks for time. It may scale that, too.
• 17:42
  Allison Cameron. Yeah.
• 17:44
  Female here. Here we go.
• 17:46
  Are you ankles or hands, girl? What?
• 17:50
  Where are we going with this The.
• 17:52
  Calves. Calves are hanging.
• 17:54
  How are you? Going hey.
• 17:56
  Dude, dude, she might be hanging.
• 17:57
  I thought we were going down the wrong path.
• 17:58
  Very quickly I did not understand what was happening
• 18:01
  with. That guy.
• 18:02
  Man, he's trying to get that 18 to 24 demographic quickly.
• 18:06
  Daniel Aronson Grant has never beaten me in the open and never
• 18:11
  will. It's.
• 18:12
  Because Grant's over here talking trash.
• 18:14
  We. Do there's a good chance that we
• 18:16
  know what the workout is? 26.1 We'll get to that.
• 18:20
  In a second, you're not supposed to reveal oh you're oh, sorry.
• 18:24
  It's leaked, John. Sorry, sorry.
• 18:26
  You're talking to, you're talking about the time cap
• 18:27
  thing. Sorry, sorry.
• 18:28
  Just don't. Just just keep going.
• 18:30
  OK, All right, here we go. What's up, Charles It?
• 18:34
  Ain't CrossFit but here is a question from at Fibo.
• 18:38
  Could you pull the data from High Rocks leaderboards to
• 18:44
  compare the age demographic? So pull some Highrock to data
• 18:51
  and tell us, could I? How does that compare to the
• 18:55
  CrossFit Open? Could I?
• 18:57
  Yes. Do I want to no it?
• 19:00
  Would be kind of interesting. It would sounds like a lot of
• 19:02
  work for I'm not sure what. I mean, it took me, it took me
• 19:06
  weeks and weeks just to pull down the lead, the leaderboard.
• 19:09
  So I can't imagine what it's going to.
• 19:10
  Take I I will my I would wager to guess that there are a higher
• 19:16
  percentage of 18 to 24 year olds doing high rocks than CrossFit
• 19:23
  at the moment. Yes.
• 19:26
  I agree. I think it just, it's, again,
• 19:29
  I've said it before, it's high Rocks is the new marathon.
• 19:33
  You can do it with a partner or a team of four.
• 19:37
  It's a fun. You just go there you go compete
• 19:41
  for an hour, hour and a half. Helping does have it.
• 19:45
  That was that was good, Tyler, you got it.
• 19:47
  That was. Good.
• 19:48
  Yeah, that's, no, that's good. When you just see like stuff on
• 19:52
  social media, like it's just a bunch of young people for the
• 19:55
  most part, having fun and just going out there and like not
• 19:57
  trying. It's it's a lot of like what
• 20:00
  Spartan Race was years and years ago.
• 20:02
  It was like just go as a team. Don't nobody really.
• 20:04
  I mean, there was a handful of people that competed and tried
• 20:06
  hard, but most of it it was let's just go jog around and do
• 20:10
  some of these obstacles. Let's climb a wall and.
• 20:13
  Get muddy. Yeah.
• 20:15
  And they didn't care how fast they were.
• 20:17
  It was take take as long as you want.
• 20:18
  It's more fun that way. Yeah, Hyrox is the same thing I
• 20:21
  think. Just no mud.
• 20:23
  They're really missing out on the mud portion.
• 20:25
  Or jumping over fire. Yeah, there was a way to do
• 20:29
  something where there were teams of like 10 and you didn't have
• 20:34
  to be great at everything. You should just be good at your
• 20:37
  thing. And then and then, no, I'm
• 20:40
  talking about CrossFit. And then like you could just
• 20:42
  let, if you're really good at something, you just have to do
• 20:44
  that. Part that sounds like grid John.
• 20:46
  Oh, never, never mind, never mind.
• 20:50
  How is that by the way? How is grid?
• 20:52
  Are you going to? Are you competing here soon?
• 20:54
  I'm we're, I'm it's, we're. Figuring.
• 20:57
  It out we're starting to get stronger again all right I'm I'm
• 21:00
  I'm week 1 of getting strong again I'm probably the weakest
• 21:04
  I've been in a long time, but I did but I think I'm probably the
• 21:08
  fittest I've ever been so we are just.
• 21:12
  Need to hold on to some of that. Yeah, we're just we're just now
• 21:15
  getting it back in the groove of getting strong.
• 21:18
  Yeah, I saw Tyra Milligan is replacing Kelsey Keel on this.
• 21:21
  Show I know that traitor, I asked her to be on my team.
• 21:26
  Like she wanted to be on a winning team.
• 21:27
  Three times I know. And then she joins the Yankees.
• 21:30
  I go. You join, she goes, you're just
• 21:32
  mad because we're going to have to go against each other.
• 21:34
  I'm like, no girl, you're on the 73 and 9 warriors.
• 21:37
  That's what you're on like like I'm not like it's not about
• 21:42
  prosperous y'all. I'm not concerned about that at
• 21:44
  all. I'm trying to even the playing
• 21:46
  field and you're just jumping on the Yankees like it's it's but
• 21:51
  the Sharks can offer stuff we can't offer they they, you know,
• 21:54
  so that is what it is, but. Do they pay Yankee the Yankee
• 21:57
  type salaries? In the league, I would say for
• 21:59
  grid league, it's it's like that.
• 22:01
  When I call them the Yankees, it's it's, it's like that.
• 22:05
  The what is it the palms? Whichever one the girl that was
• 22:08
  at the what is it the beast games or whatever.
• 22:11
  Yes. She they're sponsored by Mr.
• 22:17
  Beast now and that's. That's awesome.
• 22:20
  I'm not so if if there are sponsors, I'm actually looking
• 22:25
  for sponsors because right now I have 0 sponsors.
• 22:28
  HCR. Crossfat could probably do it.
• 22:29
  That'd be amazing at CrossFit. Crossfat one on the back of
• 22:33
  your. Shirt I'll keep I'll.
• 22:34
  Be like what? Crossfat, I will keep your
• 22:37
  anonymity. Anonymity if, like, you know,
• 22:41
  you don't have. To there'll be a wire transfer
• 22:43
  for a few $100 and it'll just say at crossfat one that would
• 22:47
  be. The back here shave of all time.
• 22:49
  What Dallin, what do you even want me to do?
• 22:50
  Put Dallin Pepper on my jersey? So I am looking for sponsors.
• 22:55
  Your your logo will go on my jersey.
• 22:58
  DM me. There's a down level to.
• 23:00
  Go about it. I don't know if Don has we'll
• 23:03
  create. Alan, we need to work on a logo
• 23:05
  buddy. He.
• 23:05
  Needs to get a logo and then he can go collaborate with Tear and
• 23:08
  get his own custom shoe. Dallon, if you pay enough money,
• 23:15
  I will do that. I I have no shame, OK?
• 23:20
  I think it's like $600 to get your logo on the jersey.
• 23:24
  That's that's chump change. You see, you saw his video, he's
• 23:27
  going to make like 150,000 bucks and 250,000.
• 23:30
  Bucks or if you are interested DM I will be making post Co
• 23:35
  current concurrently to throw like the website out that you
• 23:37
  just click on like every once it gets back once quarterfinals get
• 23:41
  done but. I am Is JY Barbell going to
• 23:45
  sponsor John Young? Would be amazing, but no,
• 23:48
  because I have to I have to pay it's a write off John.
• 23:51
  I have to pay for like fight and food and my sponsors is how I do
• 23:55
  it. Like it's.
• 23:55
  A write off that you, it's literally a write off.
• 23:57
  You're, you're like paying yourself, I don't know, a tax
• 24:00
  deduction. If you can, if you can figure
• 24:02
  that out for me, that'd. Be just payless taxes.
• 24:04
  I just want to. See the Dal and pepper
• 24:06
  commercial like you did for CBCB GB C.
• 24:09
  Yeah, HCRCBD, like I, I went to work for that company, you know,
• 24:14
  you know, it's funny and we'll move on because I know nobody
• 24:17
  cares about this, but I, I had three sponsors and one of them
• 24:25
  just out of the goodness of their heart or Biomax peptides.
• 24:29
  Sarah, Sarah, she's great. Probably should contact her.
• 24:31
  I haven't but probably should. And then CBD and I did like 3
• 24:38
  different commercials for them and then first floor monster
• 24:41
  games and I did nothing for them and I felt so bad and.
• 24:45
  Ansley was on our show. And Ansley right, and I almost
• 24:47
  brought it up because I I know he'll never sponsor me again
• 24:50
  because I didn't do anything for them.
• 24:52
  But the world, like the world biggest founder was happening at
• 24:54
  the same time. And like, I wanted to like say
• 24:57
  thank you to first form or like make a post like that, but then
• 25:00
  I forgot about it. And then it was two months after
• 25:02
  the season and literally was the worst like sponsored athlete
• 25:08
  ever for for first more monster games and I felt so bad about
• 25:12
  it. Now, now is your opportunity,
• 25:14
  you can go do the the 1st 4 Monster Games online qualifiers.
• 25:18
  Right now, no, they're over. They are they.
• 25:20
  Over. You can't do it you.
• 25:22
  Still can do it. You ain't gonna be on the
• 25:23
  leaderboard. But my wife did them all.
• 25:26
  We were really just kind of wanted to see where we were at.
• 25:29
  We were really hopeful. She did really good in three
• 25:32
  workouts and then she did really bad in three workouts.
• 25:35
  So she probably won't make it, but they'd have to backfill a
• 25:39
  long way. But but first born Monster
• 25:44
  Games, I actually am pledging as long as it doesn't go in the
• 25:47
  games and you guys don't even have to sponsor me again.
• 25:50
  But if you do want to like that'd be cool.
• 25:51
  Somebody clip it and send it to them.
• 25:54
  Next year I'm going to do the first form Monster Games instead
• 25:58
  of TFX. That's going to be my one
• 25:59
  competition and I'm going to bring all my girls and we're all
• 26:03
  going to rock it. It's going to be great.
• 26:06
  So I'm pledging that right now. You got to learn how to swim
• 26:08
  though for that. Just.
• 26:10
  Keep this, keep this in the back of your head, Leslie.
• 26:13
  It'll come in handy. Now this year it is during the
• 26:16
  game, so if it is during the games again, I cannot, but I am
• 26:19
  pledging that I'm going to try to do that.
• 26:21
  If you all want to sponsor me again, that'd be cool, but you
• 26:24
  don't have to and I am sorry. And it will be better this time
• 26:27
  around, I promise. That's all.
• 26:32
  Also jybarbell.com you know people go do that if you want to
• 26:36
  get strong. That's basically like a micro
• 26:38
  sponsorship there we. Go at Chris Harshbarger.
• 26:41
  It would be interesting to compare who is consuming
• 26:46
  CrossFit marketing on Instagram and YouTube versus who is
• 26:51
  signing up for the open. This report could help CrossFit
• 26:55
  marketing a lot. You're probably right, Chris.
• 26:58
  Question is whether they will use it.
• 27:03
  I would say it's pretty close. What do you mean close that it's
• 27:07
  a very highly correlated. Yes, there's and I think we'll
• 27:12
  get to the I think the last one is from somebody from Mexico who
• 27:15
  basically said that the the owner does not promote the Open.
• 27:23
  They just do their own thing except for the elite athletes
• 27:25
  that are trying to make it to quarterfinals or semifinals and
• 27:30
  so the rest of the group has like 0 clue.
• 27:32
  What's going on? What's going on?
• 27:34
  They charge them to do the intramural CrossFit open at
• 27:38
  their gym, but then they don't want to pay extra to do the
• 27:40
  actual open and so they're siding with their gym over
• 27:45
  CrossFit. How many, how many people do you
• 27:48
  think are actually doing the open?
• 27:50
  Like just doing it, not signing up, doing the workouts.
• 27:56
  Out of like, So let's say we hit 200 and 50,000 this year.
• 28:04
  Oh man, I would say 600,000. That's what I was going to say.
• 28:09
  I bet it's 600,000. And so it's like that's where
• 28:12
  you're the whole thing about meaning and CrossFit having
• 28:16
  meaning, that's where that comes in is because that's that's
• 28:19
  where you're losing your conversion.
• 28:21
  You have to make the open mean something more than just like
• 28:24
  I'm giving you my $20. Don't really know why, right?
• 28:28
  Because I, I mean, like, I have several friends who own gyms and
• 28:31
  they're like, I would say, you know, on the high end, 50% of
• 28:34
  people are signing up. On the low end, it's like 20%
• 28:38
  are signing up. And it's like, OK, so we're at
• 28:41
  bare minimum losing 50%. And that like the 50% number are
• 28:47
  for gyms that like get behind the open, like really get
• 28:50
  behind. I just don't understand if you
• 28:53
  are a Houston, a good old Houston band sponter shoot.
• 28:59
  I'm just saying how people want people to read it.
• 29:03
  Yeah. If you're listening, go ahead,
• 29:05
  go ahead. You don't have to do.
• 29:09
  You think it's 3X? So 750,000 people are doing the
• 29:14
  open. I bet it's a lot.
• 29:17
  I3X seems like a lot though because most people that do the.
• 29:21
  I guess when you program it for your class though.
• 29:25
  I mean, The thing is like if you think about Tyler said it was
• 29:27
  what 15 to 20% did 20%? Yeah, do the open if you if you
• 29:32
  take 15, what 15 to 20% if you take two brain businesses
• 29:37
  estimate. Yeah.
• 29:40
  So I mean it could be that it could be technically higher.
• 29:43
  I wonder if there's any gyms, CrossFit affiliated gyms that
• 29:47
  completely ignore the open. No, that's only WFP affiliates,
• 29:51
  but the. CrossFit affiliates too.
• 29:54
  They're not even things anymore. Every, every gym that I feel
• 29:58
  like a lot of gyms, I'm not going to throw out a percentage,
• 30:03
  but let's call it 80%. We'll program the open workout
• 30:07
  for their on Friday, right, so every single right, me neither.
• 30:13
  So if every gym, every member's doing it that do does the
• 30:17
  workout. I mean, I bet it's I bet that's
• 30:20
  right, You know what I mean? Or even like he spins that even
• 30:22
  more just because every gym programs.
• 30:25
  I mean, you're going to be approaching almost 2 million at
• 30:27
  that point if you said that everybody, every gym does it on
• 30:31
  a Friday. But like Tyler, your gym, only
• 30:34
  three of you are signed up for the Open, I bet.
• 30:36
  It's more now, I think it's like 6 or 7, but even though.
• 30:38
  Still, you, you like your gym doesn't push it, right?
• 30:41
  Yeah, I bet you it's the it's the workout of the day on
• 30:45
  Friday. Yep, it's going to be.
• 30:47
  So everybody's, everybody will have done it.
• 30:50
  Yeah, if you don't, as long as long as you show up, you're
• 30:52
  doing it. A good story about the whole the
• 30:55
  whole video and all that stuff. There's a girl who goes to my
• 30:58
  gym. She's been doing CrossFit since
• 31:00
  she was like 12 years old. Actually, I think her parents
• 31:03
  own an affiliate and she hasn't signed up.
• 31:08
  She did really well like her first year in the open and after
• 31:13
  that she was just like, I, I don't do it anymore.
• 31:16
  She was like, I'm basically never going to reach that peak
• 31:19
  ever again. At 12.
• 31:22
  No, it was like 14 is when she signed up.
• 31:25
  But I'm saying what peak is she talking about at 14?
• 31:27
  At 14. That's the peak.
• 31:30
  Because there's so few people who do it at that age.
• 31:34
  Yeah, but so. Yeah, you're going to do really
• 31:36
  well. You.
• 31:36
  Look up you look up how you are overall.
• 31:38
  You don't look at what you are on a team.
• 31:42
  She, she hasn't done it because she basically doesn't want to
• 31:45
  like backslide And she, she's like, I do the workouts anyway.
• 31:49
  I know how I feel about my fitness.
• 31:50
  And she's like, I never really thought about it in a different
• 31:53
  way. And so this year she's signing
• 31:55
  up for the open because she watched like the video and
• 31:57
  watched what we do. And she started thinking more
• 32:00
  about what it actually means. And I'm not, I'm not putting it
• 32:03
  on me, but it's like, I think there are a lot of people like
• 32:05
  her out there where they're just like, I sort of hit my peak and
• 32:08
  I don't want to really look at it anymore.
• 32:11
  And it's like that's a that's a problem.
• 32:13
  Wait, what's? What's her name?
• 32:15
  Can you say it or you don't? Want to say it?
• 32:16
  OK. We'll call her Ethel.
• 32:17
  Ethel. Ethel.
• 32:20
  Get it together, girl. It's it's bigger than you.
• 32:24
  You're better than this. I don't know who you are, but
• 32:28
  you're better than this after. And when you sign up, use
• 32:31
  hashtag the barbell spin on your user profile.
• 32:34
  I'm going. To draft Ethel, I want you what
• 32:37
  you like. You need to tell me your name
• 32:39
  off and I'm going to draft her because I believe in Ethel.
• 32:42
  Good, good. I'll tell you her name.
• 32:45
  All right, last, last one from Mr. Sir Charles Barkley.
• 32:49
  It's a long one, all right. Last one from Reese Wood.
• 32:52
  I live in Mexico and my gym is affiliated but only for the
• 32:56
  competitive athletes. There are less than 10 athletes
• 33:00
  that sign up for the real open. About 50 people do the in house
• 33:03
  open competition. They pay the gym instead.
• 33:06
  They don't know there is an open online or they don't want to pay
• 33:10
  twice. I only do the real open and pay
• 33:14
  one of the coaches to judge me. I don't participate in the group
• 33:19
  event mostly because the standards are like a regular
• 33:23
  class for the in house. Come on, get it to go, Charles.
• 33:28
  I'm out, but let me leave you with this.
• 33:31
  The main thing to do is relax and let your talent do the work.
• 33:35
  See you guys. Relax and let your talent do the
• 33:38
  work. That's wise words by Mr. Trump I
• 33:41
  know several gyms that are doing that.
• 33:44
  They. That's freaking dirty I.
• 33:46
  Mean. Not really.
• 33:47
  I think it's dirty. Do they charge you to do the
• 33:51
  open? I mean when they're thinking
• 33:53
  about their their gym. They make 1000 bucks if it's.
• 33:57
  Affiliated if they're if they're affiliated, then that's then
• 34:00
  you're stealing from the company.
• 34:02
  I mean, but it's like if if they view it like this, which I'm not
• 34:06
  saying that this gym does, but if you do view it like, hey, the
• 34:09
  Open's really only for the athletes who want to continue
• 34:11
  on. And it's like we might as be
• 34:13
  might as well be making our dollar out of this then I, I
• 34:18
  think it makes sense from that standpoint.
• 34:19
  I don't think it's a good thing, but it makes sense.
• 34:25
  Yeah, yeah. I think unfortunately, I think
• 34:27
  that's all what a lot of people do.
• 34:32
  Like, I think that's what a lot of gyms do is they host their
• 34:34
  stuff and you care more about what your gym is doing.
• 34:39
  So we'll figure that out next week during our draft the day
• 34:46
  before. No, I think.
• 34:47
  Like open eve? It's muscle UPS.
• 34:50
  Each workout we should put a multiplier on each other
• 34:54
  multiplier. That means.
• 34:55
  Like we know who's going to be better at what.
• 34:57
  No, This is a team. This is a.
• 34:59
  Team No, no, I hear you. But like I think every workout
• 35:02
  there should be like a a smaller.
• 35:03
  A spread. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 35:05
  And we'll create a spread like, like, right.
• 35:07
  If it's burpees and dumbbell snatches, then I got to be
• 35:10
  within 90. I mean, me and Tyler probably
• 35:12
  can go straight up. And when on that one, you
• 35:14
  probably can go straight up too. Spin burpees and dumbbells.
• 35:18
  I'm losing to them like never. Beaten you burpees and dumbest,
• 35:22
  but like if there's lifting, like we'll say you got to get
• 35:24
  within this of me, right? If there's a lot of handstand
• 35:28
  push ups. So we got to get within this of
• 35:30
  Tyler, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, I'm, I'm losing regardless
• 35:35
  of how much of. A me and Tyler this hard goes
• 35:38
  right up but we'll. I don't know.
• 35:41
  You don't think so? I'm.
• 35:42
  Getting fitter. It's just not.
• 35:44
  The open is like the worst workouts though for me.
• 35:49
  I know, but it's like. We always do hard work, we
• 35:52
  always do what the pros are doing and I'm going to be better
• 35:54
  at that stuff. The open is you're better at
• 35:58
  that stuff. We'll see.
• 36:01
  Not if it's what? Snatches and burpees?
• 36:04
  Dumbbell snatches and burpees. Just to make.
• 36:07
  Sense it won't be. It won't be.
• 36:08
  I got my, I got my ideas. We'll go to that.
• 36:10
  I mean, I mean, we, yeah, we'll move on.
• 36:17
  So if you were following this afternoon, I had something
• 36:21
  shared with me is 26.1 a 10 minute AM wrapper, a 10 minute
• 36:28
  time cap. What you're seeing here on this,
• 36:32
  the screenshot is what essentially is on beyond the
• 36:36
  Whiteboard app and they basically they pull stuff from
• 36:42
  cap program in a week ahead. And as you can see there, they
• 36:47
  have workout 126.1 from 25 minutes to 35 minutes.
• 36:52
  But then you look at the cap piece, it all matches, but
• 36:56
  there's this TBD there that doesn't quite fit and you got to
• 37:07
  be on the whiteboard responding. That's bait.
• 37:12
  That's a good, that's a good tip.
• 37:17
  Or they could have said that's not me and I do an Austin
• 37:20
  Hatfield. Austin, Austin Hatfield.
• 37:21
  That would have been good. Too I the the IT being on cap
• 37:25
  and beyond the whiteboard is kind of crazy.
• 37:28
  Well, I mean beyond the whiteboard.
• 37:29
  I know they get cap off of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 37:32
  But 10 minutes? That tells me it's actually
• 37:38
  shorter than a 10 minute workout.
• 37:40
  No, because they have time. But they have they have 5
• 37:42
  minutes to start and they have 10 minutes after to go get to
• 37:44
  the strength piece. It's a 10 minute AMRAP.
• 37:47
  Just 10 minutes. So the strength piece, did you
• 37:51
  say this yet is a back squat? It's a back squat that's also in
• 37:54
  beyond the whiteboard. Cap still says TBD like it
• 37:58
  doesn't tell you so we but again, that's what that's what
• 38:01
  happened. That's what I've been told is if
• 38:03
  you get your CAP programming from beyond the whiteboard, you
• 38:07
  get the stuff a week in advance, whereas CAP doesn't hit publish
• 38:12
  on the full stuff as early. That's.
• 38:14
  Crazy. So what kind of workout do you
• 38:18
  I? It's very strange to see a back
• 38:21
  squat after a mech con, no? There's probably no legs.
• 38:27
  Or it's wall balls. Or it's beat Beijing.
• 38:34
  Why would it be beat Beijing? It's a rower and Dave, like that
• 38:41
  workout. It's 10 minutes.
• 38:46
  What if it's 10 rounds of 10 and 10 and he just makes it?
• 38:51
  That's a round that's different. Well, and that's one round a
• 38:53
  minute, right? Same thing, but he just.
• 38:55
  That's so lame. That's one round a minute,
• 38:58
  right? It fit it.
• 38:59
  It all fits. I mean, that kind of makes sense
• 39:04
  going into a back squat workout because your legs are going to
• 39:07
  hurt going into that. I like it.
• 39:15
  I think it'll be cool. I mean, I don't know if Castro
• 39:20
  would be willing to say, maybe give up his programming in that
• 39:25
  sense, but it would be something that would be, I think, cool to
• 39:32
  see how like see how everybody does against it.
• 39:35
  Yeah, I hope they don't do what you just said and do 10 and 10.
• 39:40
  They make it something just slightly different, just.
• 39:42
  Slightly different. It's like no, just do the damn
• 39:44
  thing. Well, I wonder if they are
• 39:47
  pulled. You connect, you connect the
• 39:49
  dots. I mean, you know, yeah.
• 39:56
  I've I've I've talked with like events about doing this before
• 40:00
  on heat 1 is like, hey, leak a little bit of something on heat
• 40:04
  1 before you do it in the public and it's like.
• 40:08
  I kind of like the they do this every year, dude.
• 40:11
  It's like we there's always a leak.
• 40:14
  Like how many years in a row was there always a leak?
• 40:17
  And it's like it's orchestrated at this point.
• 40:20
  And so I wonder if if this is a little bit of like a cat and
• 40:24
  mouse. Do you want you could say that
• 40:27
  was the same that was the case with French Throwdown and then
• 40:29
  it came out and it was like, oh, just got you.
• 40:32
  It was not whatever 12/12/12 it was 12812, right?
• 40:36
  Got you like it's the same thing.
• 40:39
  It's just a tested. It was one of the workouts that
• 40:40
  was tested. What do you?
• 40:42
  Mean do we want the leak? Do you want it to leak?
• 40:46
  Oh. What'd you think?
• 40:49
  No. No, I don't.
• 40:50
  I don't. I don't want.
• 40:51
  It to leak. Not the first one.
• 40:52
  Second one's kind of cool. Oh, you want?
• 40:55
  You want the second one to leak. I want the second one to leak.
• 40:58
  I will say I don't. Know.
• 40:59
  The second one was it 2 years ago, the proven had the open
• 41:04
  announcement and I was sitting there in the front row yeah and
• 41:08
  then it was like hit on YouTube and then I'm posting it right
• 41:11
  there in front of like Dave and everybody and it was kind of
• 41:13
  like the air was just kind of like, oh man, a lot of people
• 41:18
  didn't know right, but like. Kind of throw my finger guns got
• 41:22
  you. You know, he had to have known,
• 41:27
  but I don't know if you knew that I was actually there, but
• 41:30
  you know, it was kind of a let down, right?
• 41:32
  Like you're waiting for it, you're hoping to find out what
• 41:34
  it is, and you're like, oh come on, guys.
• 41:36
  I'd rather hear it from Jocko on a live or a recorded screen, but
• 41:42
  I've. Always thought they should leak
• 41:44
  a fake one. That would be amazing.
• 41:47
  Like just have it like so blatantly obvious that CrossFit
• 41:50
  act like. Just have it in the background.
• 41:52
  Just have it in the background on the whiteboard.
• 41:54
  But people wouldn't believe it, and people would believe it
• 41:56
  would that you you messed up and that you.
• 41:57
  I don't think so. Corrected.
• 41:59
  I think, I think you know, you or Jenny would like zoom in on
• 42:02
  that whiteboard and then you would see it.
• 42:04
  Y'all for sure would post it and everybody's rocking with it.
• 42:06
  I think so, I think. Everybody.
• 42:07
  And then they'd be like, oh, when it's different, they're
• 42:09
  like, oh see, we caught them and they had to make a last minute
• 42:12
  change. I would do it.
• 42:14
  I would put out some like behind the scenes video of Dave and
• 42:17
  like leave a workout someplace in it.
• 42:21
  Let it get enough talk to where people thought that that was the
• 42:25
  workout. Then switch out the YouTube
• 42:29
  video to where that clip isn't in there anymore and then just
• 42:32
  watch people eat themselves and then I wouldn't do that workout.
• 42:36
  That's exactly how I do it. I.
• 42:42
  Just don't see it. I don't see it.
• 42:47
  I I, I I still don't think people would believe them.
• 42:52
  You'd be you'd be hard pressed not to believe it if they took
• 42:55
  down a YouTube video and like took us.
• 42:58
  I think shout out and I think you would bite so hard.
• 43:01
  No, I would. I would post it.
• 43:02
  No, no, no, I would post it. No, I'm saying I would post, but
• 43:05
  nobody would believe that it was on purpose.
• 43:07
  Even if it came out different, they would all everybody would
• 43:10
  say you got busted, you had to change it.
• 43:13
  You had just enough time to do it.
• 43:15
  Who cares? Oh.
• 43:15
  That's fair. That's.
• 43:17
  Fair. Who cares?
• 43:17
  Like it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be good.
• 43:19
  They've done that before. Yeah.
• 43:21
  Oh. Then I'd followed up with a, you
• 43:23
  know, Dave right at the right before he announces the workout,
• 43:26
  he like pops up the one we thought it was and be like
• 43:29
  gotcha. And then like if.
• 43:31
  You can produce like the newspaper or something like
• 43:32
  that, like on the day it was like, you know what if you
• 43:36
  record something after the fact with the paper, I don't know how
• 43:38
  you could prove it, but right. What if he announces it and then
• 43:44
  when the right one he goes 32 I don't like this one here, let's
• 43:52
  do this one like writes it and yeah and no and then it and then
• 43:55
  no, but like gets them ready. Everybody's ready.
• 43:58
  Everybody thinks they know what it is and then like I'm going to
• 44:02
  change it to this and then and then just then.
• 44:05
  But like what if it like but changes it big?
• 44:08
  Like what's it if it's an AMRAP of rowing toes to bar and squat
• 44:13
  snatches, right? And.
• 44:15
  Then he goes, ah, let's just do like a chipper.
• 44:20
  Then we'll end on cleaning jerks and like just just completely
• 44:23
  dip like and we'll do chest to bar cleaning jerks.
• 44:25
  So it's the same, it's using the same stuff.
• 44:28
  And then the athlete has to be like like they don't have a plan
• 44:31
  anymore. And then he goes, 321 go and
• 44:34
  then and then they just go. He's he's not in our
• 44:38
  demographic. He's not 18 to 24.
• 44:46
  Also in open news, if you're going down to Guadapalooza,
• 44:53
  Daniel Brandon, Ariel Lowen and Olivia Curstedter are going to
• 44:57
  do 26.3 on the live announcement.
• 45:00
  Can Olivia do it? She's good, She's good.
• 45:05
  She's got 2-3 weeks to go. She's fine.
• 45:08
  She's fine. It is kind of interesting
• 45:11
  though. So on Thursday, basically what
• 45:13
  Dylan said, Dylan kind of reruns Wadapalooza.
• 45:17
  When he was with Chase this afternoon, he said that Ariel is
• 45:23
  doing the individual competition, so she's going to
• 45:26
  do 26.3 as part of the live open announcement and then go on with
• 45:32
  her weekend. You're right.
• 45:34
  But all of the athletes will do 26.3 as one of the workouts.
• 45:41
  So does Ariel get to like do it? Take that off?
• 45:45
  Like, oh, I guess I don't want to do that workout.
• 45:48
  I mean, for the hype that you're going to like, I think it is a
• 45:51
  little weird, but like I would, I would be OK with it.
• 45:56
  You know what I mean. Same for Danielle.
• 45:59
  Yeah. Right, like she's doing, she's
• 46:00
  doing team on Saturday, Sunday. I wouldn't want to do that
• 46:05
  workout on Thursday and then have to come back and do it
• 46:07
  again. So I don't know how they're
• 46:08
  going to and. Typically the third one's like
• 46:11
  the hardest one too. It's not like it'll be harder on
• 46:14
  their body then so then. Daniel has an advantage by doing
• 46:17
  it two days earlier. If they don't, she doesn't have
• 46:19
  to repeat it. Or she has a disadvantage if she
• 46:21
  has to repeat it maybe. The way you put it also makes me
• 46:25
  think that the athletes are going to do it like later,
• 46:28
  later, not right then because I think like.
• 46:31
  It could be a Friday morning workout.
• 46:35
  That kind of blows, like I want to see them all do it right
• 46:37
  then. Those three are the ones that
• 46:41
  are doing it. I mean, yeah, you let those
• 46:42
  three do it and debut it and then the rest of the elite
• 46:45
  athlete like you just keep the stream going and you let the
• 46:47
  arrest of the elite athletes do it.
• 46:49
  I mean, maybe workout 1 is not really workout 1 then.
• 46:53
  Fair. I think it is.
• 46:57
  Then Olivia cursed, is not competing in water, please.
• 46:59
  So she's just going to go down there, do the workout and then
• 47:03
  hang out on the beach the rest of the days, so.
• 47:07
  Little salt water make it the knee feel better.
• 47:10
  Yeah, So 26.1 you have Austin Hatfield, Colton Burton's, Jason
• 47:14
  Hopper, Dallin Pepper, pretty solid line up there.
• 47:18
  Yep. And then you have Lucy Campbell,
• 47:21
  Amy Kringle, Mir Hum Von Rohr in second week.
• 47:25
  And then you got these three ladies the third week, pretty
• 47:28
  solid. Pretty stacked, like more
• 47:31
  stacked than normal. I'm glad.
• 47:34
  Yeah, it's good to see. They're all doing it so.
• 47:40
  That is probably the most stacked lineup we've ever had.
• 47:42
  We've had in a while, a long time.
• 47:45
  Yeah. They used to get the best of the
• 47:47
  best, like back in the day, but I would say.
• 47:53
  No from Australia. No, Ricky.
• 47:58
  Yeah, that. Sucks I would say since 20/20/19
• 48:05
  is whenever the top athletes stopped doing the announcement
• 48:09
  after no 2020 Fraser and Kara. Kara Saunders, Cara Webb.
• 48:13
  She would always decline. Yeah, but I'm just saying the
• 48:17
  the top athletes though like. She was.
• 48:21
  No, no, no, I know she is, but not every single top athlete
• 48:26
  except I'm just saying they got top athletes.
• 48:29
  I'm not saying everybody like and I don't know, Daniel.
• 48:35
  I'm I'm saying for every week, you know, I.
• 48:39
  Think all three, all three workout, all three groups are
• 48:41
  going to be interested in their own right.
• 48:44
  Like you have Colton who won open last year.
• 48:47
  He gets his chance to go up against Jason and and Dallin and
• 48:51
  Austin live. I think it's shorties versus 2
• 48:54
  tallies and I'm here for. It and if it's burpees and
• 48:57
  rowing, if it's burpees and rowing, if it's beat Beijing,
• 48:59
  it's. It's.
• 49:01
  Really interesting, fun one to watch.
• 49:04
  And then the second week got Mirham, who won the Open, who
• 49:08
  crushes those workouts against Amy and Lucy?
• 49:12
  Who are you know? It'd probably be the.
• 49:15
  Any given time if it's a real workout. 2026 Fittest Woman in
• 49:20
  the World and Amy Kringle. That's who Mirhem's going
• 49:26
  against. It's tough.
• 49:28
  No, no love for Amy Kringle, huh?
• 49:31
  I just said what? How is it No love?
• 49:33
  I'm just saying her name. It's just the way you said it.
• 49:37
  You don't think Amy Kringle could win the games?
• 49:38
  What else am I supposed to call her?
• 49:40
  Do you think do you think Amy Kringle could be on the podium?
• 49:44
  I think if she's not on the podium this year, she'll never
• 49:47
  podium. Ben Smith, I guess not Ben
• 49:51
  Smith. Scott Panchick Level.
• 49:54
  No I wouldn't. No not Scott Panchick.
• 49:56
  Danielle Brandon in my head is Scott Panchick because she's
• 49:59
  always 4th through 6th. Amy Kringle is like 9th, not 4th
• 50:03
  through 6th like it's not been. There a couple years.
• 50:05
  Right, right. But, but Scott Panchick was
• 50:07
  always right there. Like he just, it was so close
• 50:10
  every time. That's more Danielle Brandon
• 50:13
  than Amy Kringle and I I. Think it could.
• 50:17
  It could be two different people.
• 50:19
  Dude, I, I'm, I think if you're in the women's field like this
• 50:25
  is the year, this is the year that you should think that I can
• 50:29
  be on the podium again. Like, I know, I think we all
• 50:33
  think Emma Lawson and Lucy Campbell and might be a little
• 50:39
  bit above Alex Kazan, you can throw them her in too.
• 50:43
  But without Tia, there's just a whole new spot that's never been
• 50:48
  there. Like it's always gone.
• 50:52
  Right. Because we could have Laura.
• 50:56
  I don't think we're going to have Laura.
• 50:57
  This. If this is true, this would be
• 50:59
  insane. My mandated, unbroken like.
• 51:04
  Piece. You can't.
• 51:05
  You can't. He can't.
• 51:07
  No, no, no, he said. Do you think people will go
• 51:10
  unbroken? Not, not, not talking.
• 51:13
  Well just as like a like a thought exercise.
• 51:16
  If he mandated like you have to go unbroken on X, that'd be
• 51:20
  cool. I think that's way too much for
• 51:21
  like your beginner population. I just hope it's not some type
• 51:25
  of dumbbell movement if that's really what it is.
• 51:30
  Yeah, I don't think. It is.
• 51:31
  I don't want to see it. I don't either.
• 51:38
  If they do the same thing again, rowing and dumbbell snatch.
• 51:42
  There was talks of bench press in the judges course.
• 51:48
  It should they I, I was thinking about like I should post
• 51:52
  something like this, like say this is Dave's last year.
• 51:55
  He's like, you know what? I am washed.
• 51:56
  I'm just going to go out into the sunset.
• 51:58
  I'm going to program a killer open.
• 52:00
  It's it's just time for bench press, bro.
• 52:02
  Just do a bench press, yeah. What are the the greatest call
• 52:05
  of all time? I think just I think I did.
• 52:07
  I think that's tough stuff with October 7 if bench press is in
• 52:11
  the open, because I stated that with amongst all the critics.
• 52:15
  Do every does every gym have a bench?
• 52:18
  I imagine some of the smaller ones don't.
• 52:20
  I hope so. I originally thought that would
• 52:22
  be for quarterfinals, but then I found out there is another
• 52:27
  charges course for quarterfinals and they were just, I've heard
• 52:32
  that they're really like like, you know, they have tape
• 52:34
  standards, your hands got to be with it like you can't touch the
• 52:37
  tape and it's just. Tape standard for what bench
• 52:41
  press? Yeah.
• 52:42
  See Talk about the open meaning something.
• 52:45
  Not a one Rep Max, not a one Rep Max.
• 52:48
  It'll it'll, it'll be, it'll be high Rep.
• 52:51
  No, no. Why not at this point?
• 52:53
  Why not just throw in a Max lift?
• 52:56
  Dude, it's just, it's great. There's not one.
• 52:59
  There's not one semifinal that I'm aware of that only uses the
• 53:03
  Open. That's good point.
• 53:06
  There's no reason like there's not that.
• 53:07
  What was it, 15.1 or two and? Then one had a Max.
• 53:12
  Yeah. And then and then like nobody
• 53:14
  did like you had weightlifting guys who only did 15.1 and then
• 53:19
  or not they didn't do 15.1 and then they did the a the.
• 53:22
  Sandbagged and then did, yeah. 18.2 who cares?
• 53:25
  That was the Max out but it was after a workout.
• 53:28
  I like those better. Like a sprinty workout and the
• 53:30
  remaining time you have a Max out.
• 53:32
  If you want, yeah. Like if you want people to.
• 53:35
  If it's for us and the and it's pre season for the top athletes
• 53:42
  in the world, why not have a Part 2 and do a Max lift?
• 53:50
  I, I I. The general population likes it.
• 53:53
  It's not going to impact the open.
• 53:54
  You're still going to do the quarterfinals because you can
• 53:56
  finish top 25%. It doesn't matter.
• 53:59
  Yep, I'm not the and as long as you have 4 scores, it's.
• 54:02
  Fine the open though. Why it doesn't?
• 54:05
  Just I'm not the biggest fan of Max outs being a whole workout
• 54:09
  in the open quarterfinals. I am.
• 54:12
  But it doesn't matter. The Open I I Yeah, I hear you If
• 54:16
  you can't finish the. Top 25% because of a Max lift
• 54:20
  you probably. There will be people who finish
• 54:22
  in the top 25% because of a Max that probably shouldn't.
• 54:25
  Be OK and they're like 23rd percentile otherwise they would
• 54:30
  have been 28th percentile if they hadn't.
• 54:34
  I just, I don't think they're going to I'm.
• 54:35
  Just trying to get Larry to sign up.
• 54:37
  I he signed up. Did he?
• 54:39
  Good. Yeah, he signed up.
• 54:41
  I know. I'm waiting for him to be in the
• 54:42
  comments to tell me to go somewhere.
• 54:44
  But the the the I think it'll be in the open, but we will.
• 54:53
  But it will not be in a Max out. I just I have breaking news.
• 54:58
  Breaking. I'm just how breaking.
• 55:00
  Very breaking. Are you allowed to say it?
• 55:03
  15 years in the making, Breaking.
• 55:06
  He's going to say it whether he should or.
• 55:07
  Not there's bench press in the open.
• 55:09
  There's bench press in the open now.
• 55:11
  I realized, I just realized I'm going to be a semi finals
• 55:15
  athlete this year. You're adaptive.
• 55:20
  Oh, we'll get to that second are Jim's gonna are Jim's going to
• 55:23
  do a team? Sami, Jeanette, one other girl.
• 55:25
  And oh, you're going to play a team.
• 55:27
  And so you can do it no matter what.
• 55:28
  Qualify. Put.
• 55:32
  It in your, put it in your bio, put it in your.
• 55:34
  Bio right now. Before you are you going to do?
• 55:37
  2026 CrossFit semifinals athlete.
• 55:40
  I'm not putting team either. Danielle, come at me.
• 55:43
  You're doing syndicate. Oh, hey.
• 55:46
  He's a qualify for. Something How are you going to
• 55:47
  compete? He'll we're going to mic him up
• 55:50
  and then he will commentate while he's out there all.
• 55:53
  Right. Well, I hope that we can both be
• 55:56
  like that, Tyler, but I'm not. Doing that'd be amazing that.
• 55:58
  'D be great like I'm Indy and your team and then we just.
• 56:02
  We could do that. If you want to mic me up for
• 56:04
  that, if like by some miracle there'd have to be two Max outs
• 56:08
  in quarterfinals, but maybe like like and not all for one event,
• 56:16
  like 3 separate ones. I will be amazing if you mic me
• 56:21
  up. I'm telling you right now, I'm
• 56:22
  going to be like, dude, that guy's on something else because
• 56:25
  he's going so fast and I would be talking trash to people
• 56:28
  because. He's cutting reps.
• 56:30
  Yeah, nobody, Nobody. Look at him, Judge.
• 56:34
  Look at him. I wonder if anybody's ever done
• 56:36
  that, like tap the judge. Hey, hey, he's cheating, dude.
• 56:43
  We could do a documentary instead of just, instead of
• 56:46
  killing the fat man, it's just killing.
• 56:48
  And it's just me and John suffering the whole time.
• 56:54
  I I think Jr. would take. We'll hype it up, we'll hype it
• 56:56
  up. I mean, we will do it up because
• 56:59
  I nobody cares about our fitness, you know what I mean?
• 57:02
  So, and even we don't really at that at that stage, you know
• 57:07
  what I mean? Yeah.
• 57:11
  All right. That's enough for the Open.
• 57:13
  We will now move on to CrossFit Games champion, to maybe some
• 57:20
  jail time. Did you see this, John?
• 57:24
  I saw and I've actually gotten quite a few DMS saying finally,
• 57:32
  yes, I like there. There's been a lot of people
• 57:35
  that have been saying this girl is they've been waiting for
• 57:40
  something like this to happen. Yeah.
• 57:42
  So if you have not read the story, this woman, Debbie
• 57:46
  O'Connell, I think she's from the UK, back in 2015, she was on
• 57:53
  some horse of the was the Royal Horse Artilleries Ceremonial
• 57:59
  Unit, the King's Troop, and she fell off her horse, hurt her
• 58:04
  arm, I think maybe her elbow. I don't know all of the the full
• 58:07
  extent anyway, I don't. Care you hurt your elbow.
• 58:11
  She left the military and she started competing and she ended
• 58:18
  up winning gold medals for cycling in the 2018 Invictus
• 58:20
  Games. She was sprinting on the world
• 58:22
  stage all the way in her sling. I knew she was cheating right
• 58:26
  then and there. And then three years later, she
• 58:29
  sues the the Ministry of Defense for £2.4 million, saying that
• 58:35
  like, I think her shoes or the clips were too big or something.
• 58:38
  Like basically there are certain reasons why she fell and she was
• 58:40
  suing the Ministry of Defense and it later got dropped.
• 58:45
  Down I love England the. Ministry $1.74 million and her
• 58:51
  case was thrown out due to fundamental dishonesting
• 58:55
  dishonesty. Somehow though, somehow in when
• 59:00
  this happens, it continues on. I don't know if she appealed or
• 59:04
  what. And it gets down to 2025 where
• 59:06
  they're actually like going to court to do this.
• 59:11
  And the Ministry of Defense found video or captured video of
• 59:17
  her leading a horse with her bad arm and chopping vegetables.
• 59:25
  Can you? Imagine.
• 59:27
  You lose the court case 'cause she got caught chopping
• 59:30
  vegetables. So I have no idea how aggressive
• 59:33
  she was chopping these vegetables, but either way, that
• 59:35
  was the Ministry of Defense. I keep thinking you're going to
• 59:38
  say Ministry of Magic, so. Every time so badly.
• 59:41
  It hits me like Ministry of Magic.
• 59:44
  I'm just. Waiting.
• 59:44
  We have the Department of War and they have the ministry.
• 59:48
  Of. Defense with AC And so on
• 59:53
  September 9th of 2025, the judge said that O'connell's evidence
• 1:00:00
  of ongoing pain must be dishonest, given this fear, this
• 1:00:04
  footage from 2022. And she said, hey, I'm still,
• 1:00:07
  I'm still hurting as it was before.
• 1:00:10
  But the Ministry of Defense said what you're doing on video is
• 1:00:15
  what somebody would do if they weren't hurt.
• 1:00:18
  And so basically the judge then said you attempted to conceal
• 1:00:22
  the truth about the severity of your injury and you have to pay
• 1:00:28
  200,000 plus pounds. He sued and had to end up
• 1:00:32
  paying. For basically bringing a
• 1:00:33
  fraudulent case is what they basically said.
• 1:00:37
  So that was in September. Last week, the Ministry of
• 1:00:41
  Defense said we're not done. First of all, whatever.
• 1:00:47
  This girl did to the Ministry of Defense.
• 1:00:49
  They are not playing around I. Don't know what's.
• 1:00:51
  Crazy ministry of offense. What's crazy?
• 1:00:57
  Oh, Oh my God, a good defense is the best offense, let me tell
• 1:01:03
  you. September 9th was three days
• 1:01:06
  before the 2025 Adaptive CrossFit Games in Las Vegas.
• 1:01:10
  So she got ruled on whatever Monday that she she has to pay
• 1:01:17
  £200,000 for lying, according to the judge for this.
• 1:01:22
  Three days later, she goes to Las Vegas, competes in this one
• 1:01:26
  one point upper impairment division and wins, beats Emily
• 1:01:31
  Cairns, who is pretty good in her own right.
• 1:01:35
  And so, yeah, three days after that.
• 1:01:39
  Then last week, like I said, the Ministry of Defense was like,
• 1:01:43
  we're not done. We we are going to, we think
• 1:01:50
  there's some public interest in a contempt of court charge.
• 1:01:55
  And so they took it to court saying that she's in contempt of
• 1:01:59
  court. The judge said, I'll hear the
• 1:02:01
  case and now she has to go to court later on at some point and
• 1:02:07
  faces up to two years of imprisonment.
• 1:02:11
  So what she she fell off a horse, injured her arm.
• 1:02:15
  I'm sure it's hurt to some degree, I don't know.
• 1:02:18
  And then she sued for a ridiculous amount of money.
• 1:02:21
  Not to chop vegetables. And she suited for a ton of
• 1:02:23
  money and now it's backfiring. And if nothing else, she has to
• 1:02:26
  pay legal fees and then has to go deal with this court stuff,
• 1:02:30
  so. Bro you are on a cushy job too.
• 1:02:33
  You were on the horse brigade. You weren't even on like a real
• 1:02:36
  like you were on a song and dance team.
• 1:02:41
  Justice for Emily Cairns. Yeah, so I I have no idea who.
• 1:02:46
  Said it who said it back here? I don't, I don't think she ever
• 1:02:50
  fell off the horse. This stuff would never happen
• 1:02:54
  over here. So I have no idea how CrossFit
• 1:03:00
  wheel wad does anything with this.
• 1:03:03
  Like, I mean, there were, there were some comments in the, in I
• 1:03:08
  think on, on my post on Instagram, like, hey, there are
• 1:03:11
  some pretty goofy cases out there in the UK.
• 1:03:13
  Like, you know, they're suing people for social media posts
• 1:03:16
  and things like that. People are going to jail.
• 1:03:21
  I mean, I don't know, like if you are if a judge rules that
• 1:03:25
  you've been dishonest about your injury and then you end up
• 1:03:29
  getting found guilty of contempt of court and go to jail and you
• 1:03:34
  compete while doing all of this, who they stripper title I she
• 1:03:40
  got second place the year before too.
• 1:03:45
  I don't know, like the rule book kind of says that there's, you
• 1:03:49
  know, it requires the athletes to adhere to classification,
• 1:03:53
  classification eligibility requirements.
• 1:03:57
  But like to John's point, I got, I mean, first of all, she came
• 1:04:00
  into my DMS and got mad at me. Like I don't know all the facts.
• 1:04:03
  I'm like, this is literally everything that's being
• 1:04:04
  published. And if you British media.
• 1:04:07
  If you Google your name, what pops up?
• 1:04:10
  Yeah, that, that was like. All the facts that I need you
• 1:04:13
  Google John Young and you'll. JY Barbell.
• 1:04:17
  You'll see an astronaut because there was an astronaut named
• 1:04:20
  John Young, and he's much more famous than I am.
• 1:04:22
  But if you Google John Young CrossFit.
• 1:04:25
  First one, baby. It just says expert analyst of
• 1:04:28
  the cross. 6 pages, that's all. That's all.
• 1:04:30
  That's right. That's right.
• 1:04:33
  No, no scandalous horse injury nonsense or sorry defense.
• 1:04:42
  Yeah, but I mean, people reach out to me too and are like,
• 1:04:44
  yeah, she's been she she What people told me is that she was
• 1:04:47
  complaining about others not being disabled enough.
• 1:04:52
  You can't. You can't be the squeaky screw
• 1:04:55
  in this situation. Dude, you.
• 1:04:58
  So people were not already happy with her.
• 1:05:01
  Some people said they saw her lifting with both arms at some
• 1:05:04
  point. Like somebody messaged me about
• 1:05:06
  that. I have no idea.
• 1:05:06
  I didn't see video of it obviously but like.
• 1:05:09
  If you're going to do it, you got to be on point.
• 1:05:11
  Like if you're going to do a lie, you get you need to sell it
• 1:05:14
  all the time. You basically you need to
• 1:05:17
  convince yourself that it's true.
• 1:05:19
  Yeah, you need to. Yeah, you need to be the.
• 1:05:21
  You need to live the part. Yeah, live it.
• 1:05:23
  Like basically you are because that's how much you've convinced
• 1:05:26
  yourself. Yeah.
• 1:05:28
  Possibly like if you have a significant other, get rid of
• 1:05:30
  them. They're a liability like.
• 1:05:33
  Unless they got a higher watch for.
• 1:05:35
  You, especially how much she sue them for. 2,000,002.2 yeah. 2
• 1:05:38
  million. Oh yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm cutting
• 1:05:40
  somebody out in my life at the risk of $2,000,000.
• 1:05:43
  Yeah, I don't know how they got video of her cutting vegetables.
• 1:05:46
  That's such trash. If I'm like her significant and
• 1:05:49
  other, I'm like are you serious? Just eat it.
• 1:05:55
  You don't even have to cut it, just eat it.
• 1:05:59
  She likes her thinly sliced cucumbers on her salad.
• 1:06:03
  By the way, do y'all think Helen Keller is real?
• 1:06:09
  This is a conspiracy that I'm I'm starting.
• 1:06:14
  Tyler's all about this. Right now, I was, I was
• 1:06:17
  listening to a podcast and it's not like an education podcast.
• 1:06:25
  And they were like, I don't think Helen Keller is real.
• 1:06:28
  And then and then they started lifting out the things that they
• 1:06:31
  say about her. And I obviously I know Helen
• 1:06:33
  Keller, right? But but I was like, they got a
• 1:06:36
  lot of points. They got a lot of points and I'm
• 1:06:40
  I'm starting I, I think I believe that Helen Keller was
• 1:06:46
  not real. I think she I like.
• 1:06:48
  A made-up story. Yes, maybe real as a person, but
• 1:06:52
  she's. Real as a person for sure.
• 1:06:53
  But, but I, I think I, I'm thinking that her handler just
• 1:06:59
  wanted money and then a lot of this stuff was embellished.
• 1:07:01
  No, I'll convince you of Helen Keller without.
• 1:07:05
  I'm sorry this is a weird turn in the show during that time in
• 1:07:09
  in at least American history. Like you had the whole Barnum
• 1:07:12
  and Bailey's like weird freak. You had a lot of con man things
• 1:07:15
  that were. So they were like they would sew
• 1:07:18
  together different animals, hold on, hold on that are dead and
• 1:07:21
  convince you they were real things for money.
• 1:07:25
  Have you seen Nightmare Out? No.
• 1:07:29
  Dude, you would love this movie. I need you need to watch it.
• 1:07:32
  It is it is about this stuff. It's about people being calm but
• 1:07:34
  just like. That other weird movie you
• 1:07:36
  wanted me to watch that I was like, I'm not watching that.
• 1:07:39
  Oh, I don't know if there's a if it was a weird, probably.
• 1:07:43
  Not this is about a taste. No you, you need to watch this
• 1:07:48
  movie though. Like it.
• 1:07:49
  It will probably be your favorite movie of all time.
• 1:07:53
  Depressing ending, but I'm not going to ruin it for you.
• 1:07:57
  But you need to watch it, Jeanette.
• 1:07:59
  Jeanette write. It.
• 1:08:00
  Down. No, it's a good movie.
• 1:08:02
  OK, Nightmare Alley. Nightmare Alley got it.
• 1:08:05
  It's got Bradley Cooper in it, but it it is about these times
• 1:08:09
  and, you know, just people are evil.
• 1:08:12
  There are people that are evil. Oh, I have seen this movie.
• 1:08:14
  It's a great movie. Actually it is really good then.
• 1:08:17
  Don't tell me you haven't freaking seen.
• 1:08:19
  It but. Relevant to the conversation.
• 1:08:21
  Like I'm saying, they they sewed together animals and they
• 1:08:25
  convinced people they were real. There's all kinds of hoodoo
• 1:08:28
  stuff like that at that time because you could get away with
• 1:08:30
  it. Anyway, this is way off the
• 1:08:33
  beaten trail. You have no idea how accurate
• 1:08:36
  this is, Leslie. She's the only one that gets
• 1:08:39
  this. But yes, yeah, dude, I don't
• 1:08:44
  think she freaking flew a plane. She can't freaking see.
• 1:08:52
  I'm sorry. Like like here, ask me this.
• 1:08:56
  So she's blind and deaf, right? Blind and deaf, right?
• 1:09:01
  And she wrote a book. What?
• 1:09:03
  What does she have to write about?
• 1:09:07
  I mean. She's not how she overcame how
• 1:09:10
  she overcame odds. What's the?
• 1:09:11
  What's the? Yeah.
• 1:09:12
  I bet her. Imagination was.
• 1:09:14
  Great. All I hear, I can't hear there.
• 1:09:18
  I don't know what anything is because I'm blind and deaf.
• 1:09:22
  Like what is what details does she have to write about?
• 1:09:26
  Somebody moved my hand and I felt some bumps and then I got
• 1:09:29
  food and then I kept feeling these bumps when I wanted food.
• 1:09:35
  I just what do you have to write about?
• 1:09:37
  You're blind and deaf. I'm no offense to you Helen, but
• 1:09:43
  there is no way that you did what they said that you did.
• 1:09:48
  I, I, you know what Helen? Helen Keller is just as much
• 1:09:51
  real as Kale. Layman is the 5th fittest man in
• 1:09:53
  the world. Do you think this gets the 18 to
• 1:09:58
  24 demographic going? This is what needs to be on
• 1:10:00
  TikTok and I think I and I think we would get more.
• 1:10:05
  I'll try it. I'll try it.
• 1:10:08
  How the freak is somebody going to cancel me over that?
• 1:10:12
  Everybody like she wrote that book in 19 O 8.
• 1:10:15
  Everybody who believes in Helen Keller or like like going to
• 1:10:18
  shout Rihanna is dead. Big Helen Keller going to come
• 1:10:21
  get you now. I listen, I don't I don't not
• 1:10:24
  believe that we landed on the moon, but it is a compelling
• 1:10:27
  case and I don't I don't know when I've when I've started
• 1:10:30
  listening because I thought everything is just so like it's
• 1:10:33
  it's not worthless. I've started I've started
• 1:10:35
  affecting all about idiotic. It's so idiotic, but just, I
• 1:10:39
  mean, when a compelling case is made, I feel like you got to
• 1:10:44
  listen to it, you know? So all this to say, Tyler, let
• 1:10:49
  me tell you about Jesus in his Life, OK?
• 1:10:52
  Because. There goes her 18 to 24
• 1:10:55
  demographic. You're going to think.
• 1:10:57
  Like, I got a compelling case for you, but that that'll be a
• 1:11:00
  different show. We got to move on.
• 1:11:01
  Go ahead. I don't think this girl is real.
• 1:11:03
  I think she's Helen Keller. And she should go straight to
• 1:11:08
  jail. All right, I think so.
• 1:11:12
  Seriously jailed. It is time for some blind
• 1:11:16
  rankings. You guys ready?
• 1:11:19
  Yes, I think you guys might like this one.
• 1:11:21
  All right. Oh Sarah, you are the best.
• 1:11:30
  Hey Bio Max Peptide. Sarah is.
• 1:11:33
  The greatest shout out how does she even like?
• 1:11:36
  She listens. Dude dude, Sarah is the best.
• 1:11:39
  Hey listen, if you want your stuff to feel better, I won't
• 1:11:44
  tell anybody that you're doing it.
• 1:11:46
  Bio Max peptides. Go get it.
• 1:11:48
  If it does work, nobody will say it doesn't work.
• 1:11:51
  It's great as long as you're not James Hobart.
• 1:11:55
  Go get yourself some Biomax packed tiles.
• 1:11:57
  This seems doesn't need it. To see how far Helen Keller
• 1:12:01
  could have made it in this game, I'll take off my headphones.
• 1:12:06
  Yeah, kill me. Put your headphones full of
• 1:12:08
  music, Tyler, and we'll see how the freak Helen Keller does
• 1:12:12
  because you can't do anything. You'll be like, I don't know
• 1:12:17
  what's happening. Yeah.
• 1:12:20
  I don't know why you're not getting any of the answers,
• 1:12:21
  Right. All right, as you can see, the
• 1:12:25
  next segment is called or Tyler can't because he probably can't
• 1:12:29
  hear us right now. Tyler.
• 1:12:30
  Tyler, do you think you could fly a plane right now?
• 1:12:32
  A. 100% Jesus take the wheel baby.
• 1:12:36
  That's amazing that you can hear us.
• 1:12:40
  So Mason Startup put his video out there on Hitler's channel
• 1:12:45
  about whether Castro is cooked. And so I question to you guys is
• 1:12:49
  if what do you think about that, Tyler?
• 1:12:55
  You guys are mean. If you had to find a new
• 1:13:01
  programmer for the 2026 or or the CrossFit game season at some
• 1:13:06
  point, maybe it's next year, who would it be?
• 1:13:11
  I'll give you, I'll give you some clues.
• 1:13:12
  It's not Jr., it's not Hiller. It's nobody in our little
• 1:13:16
  circle. OK.
• 1:13:18
  So you guys, it's it's different, different type of
• 1:13:22
  people. And if you want to be like Tyler
• 1:13:26
  and wear a sweet sleep mask, go to mantasleep.com Code spin.
• 1:13:29
  Seriously, greatest sleep masks of all time.
• 1:13:32
  They do, they do work. If you can get it right on your
• 1:13:34
  ears like it is, it is it is. I I finally wore it the right
• 1:13:39
  way. It hurt my ears before, but I
• 1:13:41
  got it where it didn't now. And I mean, it was a game
• 1:13:43
  changer on the plane. Leave it to John to figure out
• 1:13:46
  how to wear an. Iron Crossfade.
• 1:13:47
  Correctly. Hey, hey, man, make a burner
• 1:13:52
  account because I feel like we're the same person.
• 1:13:54
  I don't, I don't like you. You have to feel it too.
• 1:13:57
  Oh, man. I, I feel a connection that I
• 1:14:00
  have not had with very many people.
• 1:14:02
  You will like we need to. We need to get together in some
• 1:14:05
  way. Yep, I do hate him.
• 1:14:07
  What What if? What if I'm cross fat?
• 1:14:12
  That'll be amazing. And I have like a personality.
• 1:14:15
  Personality. You got a personality deal and I
• 1:14:17
  don't know about it. That'll be cool.
• 1:14:20
  Holds water. Yeah.
• 1:14:22
  All right, here we go. Who would be a good programmer?
• 1:14:26
  A new programmer. Remember John, you got to
• 1:14:27
  explain him for the I got you. I got.
• 1:14:29
  Oh, this might be tough, but I got you.
• 1:14:31
  It's also not Adrian Bosman. He's out too.
• 1:14:33
  Sorry, Adrian. All right, first up.
• 1:14:40
  Watch me do a WABA. That's how you do a WABA.
• 1:14:43
  Colton. Dude, come on.
• 1:14:48
  Helen's better at this than you are.
• 1:14:51
  I I. Travis Mayer.
• 1:14:52
  If you don't get it eventually I'll I'll make it very clear to
• 1:14:55
  you. You should snatch like this. 5
• 1:14:57
  foot 6. What?
• 1:15:02
  5 foot 6, There's always so many 5 foot six people, you know,
• 1:15:05
  Tyler. 5 foot, John. There are so many girls that are
• 1:15:08
  5 foot 6. He can't see.
• 1:15:10
  He can't see these people. Man, 5 foot six.
• 1:15:12
  Man, I can't. See these.
• 1:15:16
  People. Hatfield.
• 1:15:19
  That's that's a good guess. He's fitter than Hatfield.
• 1:15:22
  Rich. He's fitter than rich.
• 1:15:25
  Nobody's fitter than Rich. It's Matt Frazier.
• 1:15:27
  Yeah. Where you put Matt Frazier?
• 1:15:30
  5. Five.
• 1:15:31
  Wow. OK.
• 1:15:36
  That was easy. Why 5 John?
• 1:15:38
  I I don't think he wants to and I don't think he would care to
• 1:15:41
  and I think we would have a 40 minute imam of rowing and
• 1:15:44
  Viking. I don't like it wasn't like two
• 1:15:47
  2-3 years ago like HWPO was. Was like programming everything.
• 1:15:52
  Yeah, but training is different than the games.
• 1:15:54
  Like are they programming for the games?
• 1:15:56
  I, Matt. Frazier, they programmed all the
• 1:15:58
  seven minute workouts for Madrid Championship.
• 1:16:01
  That's no longer around. I mean I I know he could program
• 1:16:06
  some suck vests like I'm I can hear Jason right now bro he just
• 1:16:10
  killed me with you know, whatever XYZ was but.
• 1:16:14
  It's not the point. The point is to put on a show.
• 1:16:16
  Yeah, the show and. I just like Dave, Matt.
• 1:16:19
  Matt is a better, Matt is a better trainer than he is like
• 1:16:22
  him training himself than he is for like programming for a
• 1:16:26
  competition and I think he would agree with that.
• 1:16:28
  I like that rule. If you're going to program
• 1:16:31
  program the the open, you also have to be the one who like
• 1:16:34
  releases and and puts on the show.
• 1:16:38
  I, yeah, I, I also think just, you have to love programming and
• 1:16:44
  like, it's way different than training.
• 1:16:49
  It's way different than working out.
• 1:16:51
  Like there are people out there who just love to program.
• 1:16:55
  And Matt Fraser, I would say that his loves are all other
• 1:16:59
  places. Not not in a bad way or a good
• 1:17:01
  way, just his love is in other places.
• 1:17:04
  Yeah. All right.
• 1:17:05
  All right, Next up, you've you've already burned #5 So one
• 1:17:08
  through 4, here we go. OK, you ready Tyler?
• 1:17:12
  We should get this say no Rep to me.
• 1:17:16
  No Rep. I'll epic kill you.
• 1:17:22
  Oh no, I never can remember this guy's name.
• 1:17:30
  I need a hint out of the fire. It was always burning.
• 1:17:34
  Ryan. Yeah.
• 1:17:37
  And then, oh, man, I'm really good at chess.
• 1:17:40
  My name is Bobby. What?
• 1:17:45
  Come on, come on, man. I'm really good at chess.
• 1:17:47
  My name is Bobby. I don't know this reference I.
• 1:17:52
  Went out, I went out. I went out on a lake to go what?
• 1:17:58
  I'm going to go catch me some. Fish, Ryan Fischer.
• 1:18:01
  There you go. We should put Ryan Fischer in
• 1:18:04
  his chalk programming. As tough because he does program
• 1:18:07
  all the time. I'm not saying he's a great
• 1:18:10
  person, but he I'd. Give him a three.
• 1:18:12
  I think he. Does.
• 1:18:12
  I would say three. I would say three.
• 1:18:14
  I agree. I agree.
• 1:18:15
  Just because he's out for his own interests doesn't mean he's
• 1:18:18
  a bad. Programmer.
• 1:18:19
  He's a knowledgeable dude, I agree.
• 1:18:21
  And he could like, he could really sell it.
• 1:18:24
  He just put it on a post. Great at selling, yes.
• 1:18:26
  He just put it on a post recently that maybe this last
• 1:18:28
  week or so talking about how he got his start and then how he
• 1:18:32
  almost threw it all away after that incident that John
• 1:18:35
  reenacted. Dude that that got blown way out
• 1:18:38
  of. Proportion.
• 1:18:38
  I think Ryan Fischer in a way is a scapegoat, but I also think
• 1:18:42
  he's very. He was a hot head.
• 1:18:45
  He was one of the hot heads. He's very.
• 1:18:47
  Often, yeah. We need more hot heads.
• 1:18:50
  What what what? What do you mean he's a
• 1:18:51
  scapegoat? Like, I think people hated him a
• 1:18:56
  little too a little. Too hard.
• 1:18:58
  Over them over. Yeah.
• 1:19:01
  I mean, he didn't kick a water bottle and hit a baby in the
• 1:19:02
  face, so. I don't.
• 1:19:05
  OK, I did not get that you're joking until until.
• 1:19:12
  They go ahead. Here we go.
• 1:19:13
  Next up. Hey, don't do CrossFit, do my
• 1:19:20
  program because I'm the most ripped out person in the world.
• 1:19:24
  Amanda Barnhart. She's not the most ripped out
• 1:19:27
  person in the world. No, I'm not talking.
• 1:19:29
  About get bridges. I'm not talking about getting
• 1:19:31
  lit, I'm talking about getting fit.
• 1:19:33
  I'm. Just Philly there.
• 1:19:34
  We go Ding, Ding Ding. I just went down the list of the
• 1:19:38
  people that are doing that. Four.
• 1:19:40
  Yeah, yeah. That was.
• 1:19:42
  Good. I would say 4.
• 1:19:44
  I would. Give him.
• 1:19:45
  Oh yeah, Philly. I've still had Josh in my head.
• 1:19:48
  I'd be the be the Kettlebell games.
• 1:19:50
  I'd give Philly A4. I'd actually probably.
• 1:19:53
  Rank him below Fraser. I would too.
• 1:19:56
  He's he's afraid to do things that are hard.
• 1:20:00
  He he just could not sell. He just wants to look good.
• 1:20:03
  He could not sell. The open and he does.
• 1:20:05
  Look good. Listen, I'll never have the.
• 1:20:06
  Body that you have, Marcus, but I.
• 1:20:08
  I think I have passion that where you've done.
• 1:20:10
  You know what drives me nuts about Philly is that he is
• 1:20:13
  genetically. Like they're back in the day,
• 1:20:16
  all of their fans suck. The he, he, he's genetically
• 1:20:22
  that. Way his body, yes, yeah, I mean,
• 1:20:27
  yeah. His pecs were always.
• 1:20:29
  Immaculate. And you're going to like.
• 1:20:31
  Put out CrossFit bodybuilding stuff, functional bodybuilding,
• 1:20:35
  and act like it's going to get you to the Holy Land.
• 1:20:37
  It's like, I just don't believe it, dude.
• 1:20:39
  I I just don't believe it. I feel bad about the list right
• 1:20:42
  now because we've gotten three people that.
• 1:20:44
  Are not great. I just feel like it's going to
• 1:20:48
  be not great. Ryan Fischer so far #1.
• 1:20:51
  Of the whole list for sure. Oh, you.
• 1:20:54
  Got one or two left, Here we go. OK, this is not as bad.
• 1:21:01
  Oh, OK, I one. 100%. Did some stuff, but I will tell
• 1:21:07
  you that I did not do any stuff. Phil Tune No Phil Tune accepts
• 1:21:11
  it you. Can't be a.
• 1:21:13
  Different body and not. Accept.
• 1:21:15
  It Sam. Dancer back in the day.
• 1:21:18
  I don't think Sam dancers on. Stuff back in the day back.
• 1:21:22
  In the day. Did some juice from.
• 1:21:26
  Orlando, his favorite. Weather is all the.
• 1:21:29
  People out I know his favorite his favorite what his favorite
• 1:21:34
  weather is a. Thunderstorm, OH.
• 1:21:39
  Without an E, Dave. What do you kiss?
• 1:21:44
  Lipson. There you go, 2.
• 1:21:51
  I'd give him a one dude. Dude.
• 1:21:53
  No. No, no.
• 1:21:54
  No, no, listen to my argument. Number one, he.
• 1:21:57
  Was. He was on L1 seminar staff for a
• 1:22:00
  long time. He does know the methodology
• 1:22:03
  really good. And no one's going to sell the
• 1:22:05
  Open, like anybody else on this list more than Dave, Like he's
• 1:22:10
  going to be the most entertaining person in front of
• 1:22:12
  the camera. So we're going to go from one
• 1:22:14
  Dave to another. Yeah.
• 1:22:17
  Dude, I like Dave for #1 you've convinced.
• 1:22:19
  Me. All right, Dave Lipson.
• 1:22:21
  Number one, those were those for solid argue I.
• 1:22:23
  Think he gets a bad Rep? I like Dave I.
• 1:22:26
  I've never met. Him.
• 1:22:27
  He does seem like a very nice guy I've met.
• 1:22:29
  Him several times. I he definitely is the best guy
• 1:22:32
  on the list. I'll tell.
• 1:22:32
  You for sure, OK. We'll find out if you think that
• 1:22:35
  after you see this last one. Oh no.
• 1:22:41
  Now the. Only issue is I do.
• 1:22:45
  I would put him second. On the list in terms of.
• 1:22:48
  Programming, so I don't I actually think our list is
• 1:22:51
  solid, but you did pick not great people.
• 1:22:57
  OK, Tyler, your hint is not a great person, but it'd be. #2 on
• 1:23:05
  this list. I'm not just going to out people
• 1:23:07
  like I did. Just a second.
• 1:23:08
  No. You you would.
• 1:23:13
  Not care. To out this person that's a
• 1:23:19
  great person, the definition. Of word.
• 1:23:24
  Speak. It's not Brian.
• 1:23:28
  Friend, is it? No, dude, no.
• 1:23:31
  Come on. They're an athlete.
• 1:23:34
  I would venture to say you dislike this person.
• 1:23:36
  More than Brian. Helping.
• 1:23:38
  No. Maybe not.
• 1:23:44
  Helping in between Brian and helping.
• 1:23:48
  Banana dance, man. That's amazing.
• 1:23:53
  That's amazing. I need more hints.
• 1:23:55
  I'm not a good. Person, it's just not.
• 1:24:00
  You. Would think the games is a
• 1:24:02
  second tier competition. Will.
• 1:24:04
  Morad, I gotcha, Yeah. So you had a solid hint now
• 1:24:09
  that. You got it?
• 1:24:10
  Yeah. See Will a second worse than
• 1:24:13
  Brian and. Better than Halperin?
• 1:24:15
  I actually don't feel that way. About will not personally.
• 1:24:22
  I don't know what you're answering.
• 1:24:25
  Like how I feel about Will. As a person like is.
• 1:24:28
  Him being a bad person, I I would not put him between Brian
• 1:24:31
  Friends and Halpin. I thought you hated well above.
• 1:24:35
  I thought you hated well below. No, I just think he's.
• 1:24:37
  Playing the game like an. Idiot, so you don't hate will
• 1:24:42
  you just think he's. I hate the way he plays the
• 1:24:44
  game. I.
• 1:24:45
  Think you just think he's smash farted?
• 1:24:49
  Yeah, sort of like. They I like.
• 1:24:53
  I, I think he's dishonest for sure.
• 1:24:56
  And like he, he, he flies his flag on being a Christian and
• 1:25:00
  all that stuff. And it's just like I, I, I, I
• 1:25:05
  know he lies about stuff and I honestly, if I were in his
• 1:25:10
  position, like I understand why he's making some of the calls
• 1:25:12
  he's doing. I just think he's making all the
• 1:25:14
  wrong calls. But I don't, I don't hate him as
• 1:25:16
  a person. That's fair.
• 1:25:21
  Did. You change this anywhere, Tyler?
• 1:25:23
  No, I actually think, well. I.
• 1:25:26
  Probably put. I put.
• 1:25:27
  I put. Frazier at 4 and that's the only
• 1:25:30
  thing I would change. Bryan Fischer might be too.
• 1:25:34
  I think Will. Could actually program it.
• 1:25:36
  Good. That's why I said I.
• 1:25:38
  Thought I thought he was the second best programmer.
• 1:25:40
  Here, Yeah. I agree with Tyler.
• 1:25:43
  I think I put Marcus Philly. I think.
• 1:25:46
  The bottom 3 you could switch in any order you want.
• 1:25:52
  No, Ryan's Ryan. 'S easily on top, I think.
• 1:25:54
  OK, OK. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:25:58
  Dave, I think somebody said Dave Lipson.
• 1:25:59
  Was actually at level 4 at some point.
• 1:26:01
  So, no, you really know. So Steve on Dave on Dave, Yeah,
• 1:26:05
  Dave would be. Now, is he the face forever?
• 1:26:08
  Probably just. A year he's a flash in the pan,
• 1:26:09
  but I I think it like the open would be fun.
• 1:26:12
  The Open would be so much fun. If Dave.
• 1:26:15
  If Dave. Did the open so.
• 1:26:17
  Yeah, I like it. Be real WWE, but it would be
• 1:26:20
  fun. I mean, you don't need.
• 1:26:22
  Seth Rollins, when you got Dave Lipson.
• 1:26:24
  No, you really don't. All right.
• 1:26:26
  Last one is Dave Castro. Cooked.
• 1:26:29
  Cooked if you guys watched Mason startups video on Hillary.
• 1:26:32
  Fit dude he. Really doesn't channel I don't
• 1:26:36
  think. I think he feels the same way.
• 1:26:38
  About Dave that I feel about Will Morehead.
• 1:26:41
  Like I said, he really doesn't like Dave.
• 1:26:43
  What'd you think of the video? Good video.
• 1:26:47
  I think Mason makes fair points. I also think.
• 1:26:49
  There are fair points against. How so?
• 1:26:54
  Like not acknowledging. That the back squat.
• 1:26:57
  Was the Max so like the most? Important squats of all time are
• 1:27:00
  of the games. Is a squat the most like are
• 1:27:04
  valued squats I guess you could say.
• 1:27:09
  And then what else did he say the you disagree with?
• 1:27:16
  For the pegboard. I don't.
• 1:27:19
  I don't disagree. I don't disagree with the
• 1:27:21
  pegboard. I don't.
• 1:27:22
  I don't. That's what I'm saying.
• 1:27:23
  Like he made fair points. I just think they're I could see
• 1:27:28
  the argument of some of the points back.
• 1:27:31
  I think Stefan presented them too like and I I'm just saying
• 1:27:34
  like they are fair points presented back.
• 1:27:37
  But overall, I would agree. I would agree with Mason
• 1:27:40
  Stardom's points. I just think they're not like
• 1:27:44
  when you say, is Dave cooked? I don't.
• 1:27:46
  Think he's cooked? I think he's.
• 1:27:48
  Simmering He's cooked, roasted, dried out like you left the.
• 1:27:52
  Broiler on too long and you how much how much is a Dave?
• 1:27:55
  The how much is a Dave and versus what he's being?
• 1:27:58
  Forced to do. I think everybody liked Dave's
• 1:28:01
  games, Dave's programmed. Games.
• 1:28:04
  Until these videos started coming out after the CrossFit
• 1:28:06
  Games, there was nobody who said man, they didn't squat at all or
• 1:28:10
  this was the Machine Games. Everybody liked the Games.
• 1:28:14
  You were saying the vibe is back, we're growing.
• 1:28:17
  The CrossFit Games was good, and then as the months kind of
• 1:28:20
  trickled off, there's been this stuff.
• 1:28:24
  But nobody felt that way after the Games.
• 1:28:26
  I think people thought that the Games were safe.
• 1:28:30
  I have. To say it the whole day of time
• 1:28:31
  and you've not. And you've not liked the open
• 1:28:33
  your. Argument.
• 1:28:34
  Though was that? It needs to be outside.
• 1:28:37
  We need to see stuff. That we that we can't see
• 1:28:40
  anywhere else. No, I even gave him, I gave him
• 1:28:43
  some leeway and said OK, if we're going to do it inside.
• 1:28:45
  I think there are ways that you can program more entertaining
• 1:28:47
  events inside. And so it's like the, the whole
• 1:28:50
  idea that it's like I he's being handcuffed.
• 1:28:54
  I still don't think he's being innovative, even being
• 1:28:56
  handcuffed. I mean, like, if you put, I hate
• 1:28:58
  to do this, sorry, Jr. but it's like if you put handcuffs on Jr.
• 1:29:01
  he's still going to figure out how to be innovative.
• 1:29:04
  He, he takes it as a challenge to figure out like, how am I
• 1:29:07
  going to do this? And it'd be really cool with all
• 1:29:09
  of the constraints that I have. And I don't, I think Dave has
• 1:29:13
  just like he's hit cruise control.
• 1:29:18
  I don't disagree with that. I just.
• 1:29:25
  I think. If he wasn't restricted, it
• 1:29:28
  would it would. Be more like 20/18/2017 And I
• 1:29:32
  know it's a cop out, but we have to be in.
• 1:29:35
  We are, you know what I mean? Like if you can tell me, if you
• 1:29:37
  tell me somebody else is the programmer and then there's a
• 1:29:40
  new venue and half of it's outside.
• 1:29:41
  You can be as creative as you want to be, then I'm all for it.
• 1:29:44
  But if they're going to be constricted the same way, like
• 1:29:49
  exactly, that's how I. That's how I feel about it.
• 1:29:53
  So what I'm saying is I don't think Dave is like there are
• 1:29:59
  people. That would do it.
• 1:30:01
  A lot better. We just, we just need to do we
• 1:30:05
  just need to not be constricted and also and also do you think
• 1:30:10
  it was a good test of fitness, the overall test because I do
• 1:30:16
  and I and I've and I've I've like.
• 1:30:17
  When you have 12. Events, right, But that's what
• 1:30:21
  the games is. The games is always. 12 event
• 1:30:23
  and this one was only 10. If you if you if you program 10
• 1:30:27
  events and you don't program like an absolute idiot.
• 1:30:29
  Which I don't think Dave's going to do.
• 1:30:31
  Like you're going to get a good test of fitness.
• 1:30:33
  It's, you know, we have not felt that way after every games.
• 1:30:36
  I thought 2024 was a horrible test of.
• 1:30:38
  Fitness and we didn't even get the sledgehammer, I thought.
• 1:30:43
  2024 was one of the most biased. Games of all time it.
• 1:30:46
  Was were it was, unless you count 2008.
• 1:30:51
  In my opinion, it was the worst program games of all time.
• 1:30:54
  And I think 2025 was in the middle right.
• 1:30:58
  And like you said, it was safe. Yes, like what's and I agree on
• 1:31:01
  all by 23 on all accounts. I thought 23 was was good.
• 1:31:05
  I don't I don't think it was great.
• 1:31:07
  I thought it was good. That was Bosman, though.
• 1:31:10
  That was Bos, right? I I.
• 1:31:12
  Know I'm not against bots. But I'm also.
• 1:31:15
  Not against Dave. I thought it would.
• 1:31:17
  And I do think it did its job. You guys just went 2014 and
• 1:31:21
  2017. And I think it's just hard to be
• 1:31:26
  that when you can't do the things you want to do.
• 1:31:29
  That's all I'm saying. And I'm not, I'm not willing to
• 1:31:32
  give him that. I'm not willing to give him
• 1:31:34
  that. If you tell me there can be
• 1:31:38
  better, I'm all for it. If you tell me there can be
• 1:31:40
  better, I'm all for it there. Can 100% give me give me the
• 1:31:43
  person that's going to do that. And if you're like, I'll do it.
• 1:31:46
  Well, that's my thing. It's like we've been doing this
• 1:31:49
  for. What is it, 2007?
• 1:31:53
  So we're coming up on 20 years. Yeah, 20 years the anniversary,
• 1:31:58
  but 2020 different. Different competitions, yeah.
• 1:32:00
  And it's like we have not. Baz was our first and only
• 1:32:05
  attempt to try to put somebody else in the chair, and we've not
• 1:32:09
  cultivated anybody else that seemed to be able to do that.
• 1:32:12
  And like, that's a huge leadership problem to me is
• 1:32:16
  like, how have we not created a stable?
• 1:32:20
  It's like, look at what's his face from Alabama, the coach, I
• 1:32:24
  always say the name Saban, the stable of coaches he produced is
• 1:32:29
  unrivaled. We have no other head coaches
• 1:32:32
  than Dave Castro. What are we doing?
• 1:32:35
  It's been 20 years. You've had the top program to do
• 1:32:39
  that. I'm not against changing.
• 1:32:40
  Programmers. I'm not against changing
• 1:32:43
  programmers. I'm just saying I don't think
• 1:32:45
  Dave magically can't program anymore.
• 1:32:48
  That's what I'm. That's what I'm saying.
• 1:32:50
  I, you know, what I honestly think would be cool is if one
• 1:32:53
  year they had Baz program it, one year they had Jr. program
• 1:32:58
  it. I know they're not going to let
• 1:32:58
  Jr. program it, but like another person and then one year Dave
• 1:33:03
  program it and then you just rotate.
• 1:33:04
  You just rotate the three and then one and then one of them
• 1:33:08
  will be responsible for. Semi finals.
• 1:33:10
  One of them is responsible, well, or.
• 1:33:11
  Quarterfinals, one of them is responsible for the open and
• 1:33:14
  then you rotate the three and you get 3 different flavors
• 1:33:17
  every single time. That facilitates known and
• 1:33:21
  unknowable, unknown and unknowable a lot more, does it
• 1:33:24
  not? Let me ask the question that I
• 1:33:27
  think you were going to ask. Do you think?
• 1:33:29
  Dave. Is the only one programming the
• 1:33:31
  games? Is that what you're going to ask
• 1:33:34
  Ben? No, but I don't.
• 1:33:36
  Think he is, I think. He's he's more.
• 1:33:39
  Collaborative it sounds like. I think he made that comment or
• 1:33:41
  Baz made that comment on the Sport of Fitness podcast that
• 1:33:46
  he's getting more input like before this, like I, I mean, I
• 1:33:49
  think 20 was it 24? He can't when he came back and
• 1:33:53
  did it, he was like, I'm taking over.
• 1:33:55
  I'm nobody sees it. And we would have gotten the
• 1:33:58
  sledgehammer and we would have gotten the cardio games right.
• 1:34:02
  And that that did not help. And then you got last year that
• 1:34:05
  was playing it safe. We don't know what this year is
• 1:34:08
  going to look like. I'm never OK with.
• 1:34:11
  Playing it safe, I and I and I know.
• 1:34:13
  That's why you're like. Just done but.
• 1:34:18
  And I'm not, I'm cool with what you want.
• 1:34:22
  I'm just, I don't think saying Dave Castro sucks.
• 1:34:27
  As a programmer like he's done. I don't agree with that either.
• 1:34:30
  You know what I mean? I don't think it needs to be one
• 1:34:32
  way or the other. What do you need to?
• 1:34:34
  What would we need to do to prove that though?
• 1:34:38
  If 2024 was. I thought 2024 was terrible.
• 1:34:43
  And I, and I'm not just talking about because of Lazar, but you
• 1:34:46
  did just say it was terrible. Yeah, I thought it was terrible.
• 1:34:49
  Like if there were multiple. Years like that.
• 1:34:51
  I think if you have the years like 2014 through 2018, which a
• 1:34:57
  lot of those years were amazing, like you, you have, you have
• 1:35:01
  some grace. I'm OK with giving grace in 2019
• 1:35:05
  was like other than the six events that led to the main cuts
• 1:35:09
  was a really good games, but the six like the three running
• 1:35:12
  events that led to the cuts were the kind of ruined that for the
• 1:35:16
  top ten. The the workouts were fine.
• 1:35:18
  It was the cuts in the middle of it.
• 1:35:19
  The order of the workouts were not.
• 1:35:21
  Fine, right? But the workouts were fine if
• 1:35:23
  there weren't. Cuts.
• 1:35:24
  It would have been fine, but you know you're under like I
• 1:35:27
  understand. Why there's but you know that
• 1:35:28
  there's cuts, so. You got to program it that way,
• 1:35:30
  correct? Correct.
• 1:35:31
  And that's his error. I thought 20. 20 was amazing for
• 1:35:35
  what they had to work with. I thought 20/21 was fine was I
• 1:35:41
  thought I I know spin like they're under constrictions they
• 1:35:44
  weren't under. It's really hard to work it, I
• 1:35:48
  just think. He's earned a.
• 1:35:50
  Little. Grace.
• 1:35:51
  And after 2024, No, hear me out. Hear me out.
• 1:35:54
  After 2024, that Grace is done 2025 was safe and that does like
• 1:36:00
  I'm not just done with it. If there is another 2024, I'm
• 1:36:05
  absolutely done with it. I've been done with the open for
• 1:36:08
  eight years. Like I'm just like since they
• 1:36:12
  went 2-3 weeks, I have not liked the open.
• 1:36:15
  The only open I like ironically was the one that Baz made the
• 1:36:19
  2023 open. So, John, you see this in
• 1:36:22
  college sports, the. You get really, you get 1 bad
• 1:36:27
  season, you get a second bad season, you're out and it's like
• 1:36:30
  you're second bad season 2025 you.
• 1:36:35
  Was not a good season. Yeah, but you your only argument
• 1:36:38
  was it didn't wow you, you thought.
• 1:36:40
  It was a good test of right, and it didn't wow you, dude.
• 1:36:43
  You're talking about like generational programs.
• 1:36:47
  In the SEC. People like give you. 510
• 1:36:51
  seasons to be like okay, that fans are just there.
• 1:36:54
  Like UK fans have never had a good, they've had like 3 good
• 1:36:57
  teams in their entire history. And we, you know, we've still
• 1:37:01
  never won a national championship for football and UK
• 1:37:04
  fans still show up, right? We're talking about CrossFit.
• 1:37:07
  We're talking about something that it's like if people are
• 1:37:09
  bored for three years in a row, they disappear.
• 1:37:12
  And guess what? We don't have a ton to disappear
• 1:37:14
  anymore. Like we cannot do that anymore.
• 1:37:17
  You get 1 bad season, you get one season to fix it and you're
• 1:37:20
  out. I don't like that you're, you're
• 1:37:22
  like, yeah, but you got to give him his respect.
• 1:37:25
  All the respect is dude, dude, I totally appreciate everything he
• 1:37:29
  did in the past. You're not doing it now.
• 1:37:32
  I'm not keeping Bobby Knight around because.
• 1:37:35
  He's Bobby Knight if you're. Not winning games and if they
• 1:37:38
  fired him so say like say. Wiki six year SEC argument
• 1:37:42
  right? You have a bad season.
• 1:37:44
  You go under. I'm team jumping.
• 1:37:46
  No, no, you're fine. You're fine.
• 1:37:47
  You, you go like your team. Was great, but then your.
• 1:37:50
  Quarterback went to the NFL. You're you're, you know, you got
• 1:37:52
  one year to rebuild and then it's what do you got right for
• 1:37:55
  every SEC team? That's how it is.
• 1:37:57
  You have a A5 and eight season. Not great.
• 1:38:02
  You got like, but we had a year of improvement.
• 1:38:04
  Let's see what we got. If you're 7 and six, your team
• 1:38:10
  fire and I'm team give you another year.
• 1:38:13
  Like I'm fine if they fire 7 and six, right?
• 1:38:18
  You want you want that? I'm fine with it, but I'm also
• 1:38:22
  fine if it's like you want one more year that that does that?
• 1:38:26
  Does that make sense? I'm not.
• 1:38:29
  You're just you're, you're a little bit on the other side of
• 1:38:31
  the fence. So you're, you're giving, you're
• 1:38:32
  giving Dave one more. Year they'll say like 26 needs.
• 1:38:35
  To be good. Needs to be good, good what's
• 1:38:39
  good not not safe. Good.
• 1:38:42
  I would say 2023. OK, some new stuff.
• 1:38:48
  Yeah, new. New stuff?
• 1:38:50
  There's one. Or two events where like.
• 1:38:53
  That event was sick, right? Like if there is an event like
• 1:38:57
  the capital, and I know that was Baz's, but like, you know, an
• 1:39:00
  event that we are going to talk about for for years, right?
• 1:39:04
  We still talk about the freaking 2159.
• 1:39:06
  It's not even that good of an event, but but Rich killed it,
• 1:39:09
  right? Or the muscle up biathlon,
• 1:39:11
  right? We love that event, like an
• 1:39:14
  event that we will talk about for years to come.
• 1:39:16
  There needs to be one or two of those and then a a well balanced
• 1:39:20
  test. You know, I don't think people
• 1:39:23
  will remember the back squat 5 years from now.
• 1:39:25
  I'll remember only the nerds. Only the nerds will remember
• 1:39:28
  that Colton hit 570. Do you think there's anything
• 1:39:32
  from 24 or 25 that's we'll? We'll talk about in Friday
• 1:39:38
  night. I'll remember the track and
• 1:39:40
  field event was cool. But there was so much stuff bad.
• 1:39:43
  About 2024 that it was hard for a cool event to Sean to be
• 1:39:47
  remembered, right. You know, 2024 is always going
• 1:39:50
  to be the year of Lazar, no matter how bad.
• 1:39:53
  You don't want it to be you, you can't.
• 1:39:55
  It will always be the year of Lazar.
• 1:39:57
  It's just it's just it's just how it's going to be.
• 1:40:01
  I don't put that on Dave. I know other people do, but
• 1:40:03
  that's what it's that's what it's going to be.
• 1:40:05
  OK, 2025 I'm with the honestly the most memorable.
• 1:40:15
  Event is probably going to be the pegboard event.
• 1:40:18
  Oh, bad reasons. Right.
• 1:40:22
  What? What would you say the most
• 1:40:23
  memorable thing is to talk? About the pegboard.
• 1:40:25
  Of it I mean running Isabel, running.
• 1:40:27
  Isabel was very memorable because Hopper almost lost.
• 1:40:29
  It, yeah, I think that's probably we talked about more,
• 1:40:32
  but even then it's not. It's not, it's not, it's no,
• 1:40:35
  it's not because it's the opposite.
• 1:40:36
  It's the. It's the bad.
• 1:40:37
  Talk like it's like, oh, Hopper. Almost lost.
• 1:40:40
  Like if Hopper had lost, that would be talked about if Hopper
• 1:40:44
  won it because of that. Like that would have been like,
• 1:40:48
  it's it's Hopper put himself in jeopardy and it ended up being
• 1:40:51
  not an issue because of the next event.
• 1:40:53
  But like, I get, I don't think last year we talked about
• 1:40:57
  anything of like, wow, this is really cool.
• 1:40:59
  We probably just talked about it, that it was a lot of
• 1:41:01
  machines. That's not good.
• 1:41:03
  So it's a negative concept. No, no, I, I hear.
• 1:41:05
  You. I hear you.
• 1:41:06
  I also want to. Say that the 24 games, I think.
• 1:41:08
  I think Friday that the track and.
• 1:41:10
  Field events get over Shadow by the, Lazar says.
• 1:41:13
  If it had not been the track and field events, I think though
• 1:41:16
  that games would have been like just done like it was just, I
• 1:41:21
  mean, I, I thought it was already.
• 1:41:22
  Bad, I thought it was already. It would have been so bad like
• 1:41:24
  that. The recovery that I'm already
• 1:41:27
  there. Created from that was was big,
• 1:41:29
  but I think the video like people miss the point with
• 1:41:35
  Mason's video, like the points are important but more of what
• 1:41:38
  he's communicating is a general vibe.
• 1:41:40
  If Dave had just come off the back of 20/18/2017 or whatever,
• 1:41:45
  no one would be in the comments saying, yeah, they would all be
• 1:41:48
  like, you don't know what the hell you're talking about, Shut
• 1:41:50
  up. Like every single comment.
• 1:41:52
  But there's enough people in those comments that are like,
• 1:41:55
  well, he's got sort of a point. The crazy part of those videos
• 1:41:59
  was the comments talking about the criticism that Dave cannot
• 1:42:05
  deal with. Like, and it was like that.
• 1:42:08
  I was so happy that Mason said it.
• 1:42:10
  Because I was like. It's the number one thing that
• 1:42:12
  has always irked me about Dave. Like, I think he can deal with
• 1:42:16
  criticism, but if you put him in a corner and it's like, hey,
• 1:42:19
  answer this. He just like won't a lot of the
• 1:42:22
  time. I hear you.
• 1:42:23
  I don't think he wants he needs to show weakness, though.
• 1:42:25
  I think that's what it is like. I think you can show weakness
• 1:42:28
  and still deal with the. Questions or?
• 1:42:32
  Not show weakness, still deal with the.
• 1:42:34
  Questions maybe. I'm sure it's coming from a
• 1:42:37
  point of strength that's. Right, that's the way I.
• 1:42:39
  Take it like. Don't look weak.
• 1:42:42
  And so that's how he answers his questions.
• 1:42:44
  Maybe I'm wrong, but you know Johnny.
• 1:42:50
  Don't like the open? Quarterfinals are back.
• 1:42:53
  It's fine. Quarterfinals fixes the open.
• 1:42:55
  Quarterfinals fixes the open. I just.
• 1:42:58
  I just like for John, no, for everybody you.
• 1:43:03
  Need a well-rounded? Test to to send the right people
• 1:43:05
  to semi finals. So what does what does Dave has
• 1:43:07
  to do for the Open to make you happy again?
• 1:43:10
  I don't like. I don't think it will until the
• 1:43:13
  open can be. Until the.
• 1:43:18
  It's over. There needs to.
• 1:43:19
  Be. If you want to do lifting but
• 1:43:21
  not. A Max out there needs to be a
• 1:43:24
  gated workout of some sort, some sort of it it it has to be Yeah,
• 1:43:29
  there has. To be.
• 1:43:30
  A gated workout where you got to be pretty fit to get to the
• 1:43:32
  heavy barbells. I'm cool with that.
• 1:43:36
  You got to you earn your heavy barbell.
• 1:43:38
  If you don't want to do a Max out, which I don't know.
• 1:43:40
  I know they you know, a lot of people don't want that.
• 1:43:44
  There needs to be 1 easy entry workout, but I just think there
• 1:43:50
  needs to be it can't just be dumbbell snatches and burpees
• 1:43:55
  like I you have to throw 6 toast bar in there, right?
• 1:43:58
  Or like 20.2 something like that's a 20 minute AMRAP.
• 1:44:04
  You got 15 Cal row, six toes to bar and 50 double unders right
• 1:44:10
  or something. Or no no no, it was like 4
• 1:44:12
  dumbbell thrusters, 6 toes to bar, 24 double unders right, 20
• 1:44:17
  minute AMRAP. That's fine.
• 1:44:19
  Do that right? Like it needs to be somewhat
• 1:44:23
  just not 9 minutes of dumbbells and burpees because you've done
• 1:44:26
  that every single year for the last five years.
• 1:44:29
  And and then there needs to be gymnastics.
• 1:44:31
  Do it in the gym every. And I think there needs to be a
• 1:44:34
  gymnastics gated workout. You know, if you, if you want
• 1:44:37
  people to be able to do the gymnastics one, make the
• 1:44:39
  gymnastics 1 gated too. I'm I like the the thruster
• 1:44:43
  front squat toasta bar chesta bar bar muscle up workout right
• 1:44:49
  where it was. It was 153015 rest one minute 15
• 1:44:53
  right the the dude. The one of the most fun workouts
• 1:44:57
  was the three rounds of snatches and burpees and then rest 3
• 1:45:04
  minutes and then three rounds of burpees and bar muscle UPS.
• 1:45:09
  That was one of the most fun workouts 'cause you like didn't
• 1:45:12
  know if you should burn it down, but 3 minutes is a lot, right?
• 1:45:14
  And you can burn it down. And then people talked about how
• 1:45:17
  Chandler did 3 rounds in a minute and 59 seconds and nobody
• 1:45:20
  else can crack 2 minutes, right. But then obviously people did
• 1:45:23
  the bar muscle. Could you do the bar muscle with
• 1:45:24
  unbroken? Like these are great open
• 1:45:27
  workouts. You know what I mean?
• 1:45:29
  I guess we're not allowed to do handstand push ups anymore in
• 1:45:31
  the open. I'm mad about that.
• 1:45:33
  Like it's just I think if you you need a low barrier to entry
• 1:45:38
  on the 1st. Workout and I'm fine with that.
• 1:45:40
  The rest of it should be gated gymnastics if you want people to
• 1:45:44
  compete, wall walks into handstand push ups or you know,
• 1:45:47
  toes the bar into bar muscle UPS, whatever, and then a gated
• 1:45:51
  weight lifting workout and then you're fine.
• 1:45:54
  That covers everything and you're fine.
• 1:45:56
  And it's a well-rounded open that everybody can do.
• 1:46:00
  So let's see. If last year the weight was 185.
• 1:46:05
  On the last workout. 25.3 so 185 deadlifts, then 185 cleans, and
• 1:46:10
  then 185 snatches. That workout would have been
• 1:46:13
  perfect. Gross.
• 1:46:18
  What? But you think about it, you
• 1:46:20
  would be like you'd. Motor through the deadlifts.
• 1:46:24
  You get to the cleans. They're really hard for you, but
• 1:46:26
  you can get through them. And then on the snatches, you're
• 1:46:28
  probably not getting one right. Tyler's probably in the
• 1:46:31
  snatches, but you then you have to be pretty strong to cycle 30
• 1:46:36
  freaking snatches at 185. That's perfect.
• 1:46:39
  You know how? Fit you have to be to get.
• 1:46:41
  There in the 1st place and then it's like, are you strong enough
• 1:46:44
  to do this right? Like it would been perfect and
• 1:46:48
  that type of a workout like I'm all all I'm.
• 1:46:54
  I'm like close to finishing or don't finish.
• 1:46:56
  Or like I'm right around like can you finish the elites are at
• 1:47:00
  1514 minutes, you know what I mean?
• 1:47:03
  And then a lot of people are getting to the snatch and like
• 1:47:05
  just doing the best that they can for about 5 minutes.
• 1:47:09
  What John wants to see overall, I think a way to summarize it is
• 1:47:11
  parody. That isn't like just Jim Bunny
• 1:47:15
  Fitness. I want it to.
• 1:47:17
  I want it to be a well-rounded test.
• 1:47:19
  I want it to be a well-rounded test.
• 1:47:21
  Right now you're lying to people about their fitness because it's
• 1:47:23
  literally who's the most aerobically fit.
• 1:47:26
  It's a test of aerobic capacity. And if that's what it is, then
• 1:47:29
  say that. But that's everybody's check in
• 1:47:32
  for the year is supposed to be the open of how fit they are.
• 1:47:36
  And right now it's a lie. It's how aerobically fit you
• 1:47:39
  are. Now quarterfinals fixes all of
• 1:47:42
  that because it's a it's, it's a very well-rounded test, but the
• 1:47:45
  stuff's a lot harder and you got to be top 25% to get there,
• 1:47:50
  right. So it I'm not mad at the open
• 1:47:53
  when there is quarterfinals, but everybody in the world doesn't
• 1:47:57
  get a well-rounded test. You know what I mean?
• 1:48:01
  And I, I don't like that I want the world, you know, spin you
• 1:48:06
  probably, you know, crushed the last few opens, right?
• 1:48:09
  Like you should get crushed by some workouts, but you don't
• 1:48:13
  because you don't get tested for weights.
• 1:48:15
  That's unfair to you. I know you probably don't mind
• 1:48:17
  it No, but was it 2 years ago? I did two years ago.
• 1:48:20
  I did great in the open because. There was nothing like the
• 1:48:24
  heavyweight was the 185 LB deadlifts with rowing and double
• 1:48:27
  unders and those are two of my strengths.
• 1:48:29
  So like, totally fine, James Quarters fixes all of this, but
• 1:48:34
  when there wasn't no. There was no quarterfinals.
• 1:48:37
  You cannot tell me that the open is a well-rounded test, James.
• 1:48:41
  You're getting sneaky with it because I agree with their take
• 1:48:43
  that quarterfinals is actually. Worse for Jim's than the five
• 1:48:46
  week open. It's crazy that you can say what
• 1:48:48
  you just said and that at the same time explain this and to me
• 1:48:54
  and by the. Way.
• 1:48:55
  I think it should be 10%. Like when I'm saying.
• 1:48:58
  I hate the open. I still think it should be 10%
• 1:49:01
  and if your aerobic capacity is good enough for 10% then you get
• 1:49:04
  to do all the rest. You're fit enough to do all the
• 1:49:07
  rest of the stuff right? I understand that when there was
• 1:49:10
  no quarterfinals, it's a trash test to get to semi finals
• 1:49:14
  because it's and I get it, the guys who are going to go to semi
• 1:49:18
  palms are going to be fine. It's still for. 95% of the
• 1:49:22
  population they do not get a well-rounded test of your
• 1:49:26
  fitness, they just get a test of how aerobic aerobic if they are.
• 1:49:32
  I guess I understand and I disagree 5.
• 1:49:35
  Week open is five days ish. It's not it's it's 15 days.
• 1:49:41
  I agree with Tyler. Three-week open is.
• 1:49:45
  With quarterfinals as a boatload.
• 1:49:46
  Of time and logistics. There's so few gyms that are
• 1:49:48
  actually doing much at all for the quarterfinals.
• 1:49:51
  Like they're not like I had there's probably 6 people at one
• 1:49:55
  gym that I did quarterfinals at and the gym wasn't involved.
• 1:50:00
  It was just the elite athletes go find time, open gym and get
• 1:50:03
  it done. Yeah, yeah, we did it during.
• 1:50:05
  The weekend when nobody was really there.
• 1:50:09
  And it was fine. I don't, I don't think it is
• 1:50:11
  like a real drag on the an affiliate.
• 1:50:16
  All right, Well, that's it. I made it.
• 1:50:20
  I made it 2. Hours, by the way.
• 1:50:21
  Nice. Job there.
• 1:50:22
  Nice. Nice shirt there, Tyler, but
• 1:50:25
  why? Dude, that's awesome.
• 1:50:27
  That's an odd. You should.
• 1:50:27
  Sound like that. Just buy like 3. 100 of them.
• 1:50:31
  I will not do that. Then mark them up a dollar.
• 1:50:35
  So Nope, I survived. I don't know how.
• 1:50:39
