Keeping the Streak Alive…from Glacier National Park · The Spin Podcast

0:34
Welcome to the spin. John Young is not here.
0:37
I'm in the middle of Glacier National Park.
0:41
Long, long journey to get here, but made it.
0:45
I did make it. I did make it.
0:48
I'm in the middle of Bloomington IN the same location, but I just
0:53
felt like saying it since you said it your way.
0:56
Natalie, why are there so many shows on at once?
1:00
Are there more? Are there more than one?
1:03
I guess, I guess, I guess 7's going live.
1:05
We had to. We couldn't miss a week.
1:08
We did a week or a day early last week.
1:10
Now we're doing a day late. Spin was on the road.
1:13
Spin was. He was.
1:16
It was crazy. I was, we were supposed to take
1:19
the RV out, which I, I don't know if you can't see it now,
1:22
you saw in the story last night, we were supposed to get here in
1:25
Glacier National Drive all the way out with our RV leave
1:28
Friday, get in on Monday night or Monday, Monday afternoon and
1:34
first night we're in Ottawa, OH, in Ottawa, Iowa, like an hour
1:39
north of Omaha. And Tyler, are you still there?
1:44
Yeah, I'm still here. You're good.
1:46
I think you're popping in and out, but I think we can see.
1:49
Yeah, I got the star link, so it's we'll see if I set it up
1:52
there. Anyway, we get in at like 9:00
1:57
and beat a storm and storm grows through.
2:00
I look up at the roof as we're finishing setting up and I see
2:03
something up there and part of the roof started coming off and
2:10
not a good thing. In the middle of freaking
2:12
nowhere happened to find a an RV tech that came out.
2:21
Looked at it Saturday morning, had a stall that could actually
2:25
fix a roof and did a a emergency fix on on Monday and Tuesday and
2:34
got us back on the road at I guess it was 4:00 Tuesday.
2:40
But you got to chill out in Onawa, Iowa, for two days.
2:43
We did. We did.
2:45
The RV park we were at had a a grain silo Airbnb and so we
2:50
stayed there for three extra nights and hauled it out.
2:53
We made it here last night at 9:00.
2:57
It was still sun out. It's crazy how bright it is at
3:01
93010 o'clock. Well oh just cause the time
3:05
zone. So far northwest, yeah, it's
3:07
it's crazy. That's awesome.
3:10
When the sun's out, it's bright. Generally, is it still bright at
3:15
9:30 where you are, John? I don't, I don't know.
3:20
It's not 930, John. He checks like I don't know.
3:27
Yeah. So anyway, thank you guys for
3:30
joining us a day late, but we needed to keep the streak alive
3:37
so. We made it.
3:39
Yeah. So we were, we kicked ourselves
3:41
last year whenever we made it 51 out of 52 weeks.
3:44
And I want to say it was like December 8th when we missed or
3:48
something like that. It was like the last.
3:50
Week. It was in December.
3:51
Yeah, yeah. And they were like 51 out of 52
3:54
weeks. We just let it go.
3:55
So I wasn't going to say anything 'cause I knew it.
3:57
Like I was like spins all the way out there.
3:59
I was sevens going live. I was like, if we have to, we
4:03
have to. It's fine, but I was like, and
4:06
then I think John just said let's do it and then spin just
4:09
thumbed it up and I was like, all right, we're.
4:11
We're doing it. We're.
4:13
Going to do an abbreviated one. We're going to.
4:14
We got one hour and then it's time to do some grilling out
4:17
here and enjoy some time away. I don't have an official agenda,
4:23
but we'll start out with viewer comments because why not?
4:27
First one at will. No Rep you at the hour and 13
4:32
minute mark last week. Puppies can also mean hammers.
4:36
They can. So that's that's in reference to
4:38
the blind rankings last week. Like a swing hammer.
4:42
East wing hammers. All kinds of hammers, Tyler.
4:48
East Wing best hammer there is. Yeah, I'm not familiar with
4:52
familiar with that. I got schooled on hammers
4:55
because my brother's a welder and so I used to work at AI,
4:58
used to work at a hardware store for like 5 years and he came in
5:02
there and he was like, oh, you guys have a swing hammers?
5:04
And I was like, yeah, he goes, don't buy any other hammers.
5:06
So there you go, a swing hammers.
5:09
Not sponsored at Robbie Museon. This is the interesting one.
5:18
Justin Medeiros changed his YouTube intro and it used to say
5:22
two time fittest on earth and now it says two time games
5:26
champ. Interesting.
5:30
Is it? I thought you were going to say
5:32
Danielle Brandon's training partner.
5:34
That's what he was changing into.
5:35
Not yet. I mean, maybe that's this week,
5:37
I'm not sure, I haven't checked. I'd love to talk about that at
5:40
some point. Did you guys catch my grid my
5:44
grid match this weekend? It did.
5:45
It did. I caught.
5:46
I caught part of it I like. I would try to tune in a little
5:49
bit, but Ottawa. You see me, you see me versus
5:53
versus Wes you. Held your own?
5:56
You're right. There, that was the cleanest I
5:58
could have made it. He's just better.
6:01
He. He actually bobbled the second
6:04
one and I thought like our I thought our Rep speed was the
6:09
very similar to the same. He just if it was 225, I could
6:14
grip and RIP like that too. Like he started half a Rep
6:16
before me, you know what I mean? I was like good, good nest like,
6:21
but hats off to them. Our grid season's officially
6:24
over. But sorry dude.
6:26
But on to next year. Next year's going to be better.
6:29
I feel really, really good about you.
6:30
You beat, you at least won a match or a race or whatever
6:33
against the Sharks. Right.
6:34
We did. We did.
6:36
Yeah. Yeah, that was the first time
6:37
they did. Yeah.
6:40
No, the act the Sharks match actually went a lot better than
6:43
I thought it was going to go. I thought we were going to get.
6:46
Smacked. Really bad.
6:47
I thought it was going to go really bad.
6:49
It was really funny because we would either win or we would get
6:53
smacked like the one the races that they won, they were so far
6:57
ahead of us, but the actual score didn't didn't end up being
7:02
that bad. So I do want to give a shout out
7:07
to their strength specialist, Blake Kidder.
7:10
We were warming up in the back together, and I told him I was
7:14
like, hey, I just want to let you know I think you're the
7:17
best, the best one at this. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
7:20
Like, even like, my maxes could be high, My maxes could be
7:25
higher. His ability to just grip and RIP
7:28
it just, I just feel like I'm going to hurt myself if I do
7:32
that. And I'm pretty reckless with
7:35
myself. And he takes it to the next
7:37
level. So I want to give him a shout
7:39
out. I told him that.
7:40
And he goes, you should say it on the show.
7:42
And I was like, I feel like I have.
7:43
And he goes, no, yeah. So I do.
7:48
I want to give that guy acknowledgement.
7:50
I do think he's the best strength specialist in grid.
7:54
Wes is a monster, but. That's the fun thing about
7:58
watching some of your team members have followed some of
8:00
them and watching them like try to drill to get faster at some
8:03
of these movements. And it's like doing like even
8:06
just the burpees, like basically diving over the bar to like go
8:10
faster. And like you look at these
8:12
things in like as cross fitters, we know how we're supposed to
8:15
move, how we're supposed to do them, and you have to just drill
8:17
a whole different thing. And it's wild to see the shift
8:21
of what you have to do. It's a lot harder than people
8:24
think. Think.
8:24
Yeah, it doesn't look like the way it looks like.
8:28
Oh, I'm, I'm fast, I'm strong. Like I can do this.
8:30
Like, it's it's it's you just you have to be.
8:34
It's hard to make yourself reckless when you don't have
8:37
practice being reckless. Like I almost think Taylor would
8:41
be so bad at grid because he could not make himself move
8:45
poorly. Like people would just beat him
8:47
because he he's going to do, he's going to stand here and
8:50
lock out for a second, right? Right.
8:52
Like he's like, he can't make himself go faster.
8:55
What did we get in trouble for? When Grants and I watched, well,
8:58
when Grants and I watched it, not when Jon watched Grid last
9:01
year, but when Grants and I watched the first match of Jon,
9:05
we made some comments. Oh, there's, there's some Grid
9:07
reps right there. And then everybody got a little
9:09
upset. It is a thing, it's absolutely a
9:12
thing. And I, I, I don't think it's a
9:14
bad thing, it's just something you need to be cognizant of.
9:18
Yeah, no, I don't. I don't really care.
9:20
Like, you know, you see some weird, you know, weird ways of
9:23
doing it or definitely like, no, like not quality movement.
9:27
Like we tend to focus more on quality movement and CrossFit.
9:29
That's not, that's not their sport.
9:31
That's not their sport. There was an amazing race.
9:34
If you guys ever want to look up, look it up on YouTube.
9:37
I know you probably won't, but if you do, it's it's it's it's
9:39
real. It was really cool.
9:41
It's the, I want to say it's the Breakers and the Lions.
9:45
I messed up your team name, I'm sorry, but it's definitely the
9:48
Lions and they were tied and it was essentially a winner take
9:52
all in the very last race and it came to 25 thrusters.
9:57
The whole team goes through this thing and then the last thing is
9:59
25 thrusters and these two guys go out there like neck and neck
10:05
together. One guy, I don't think he does
10:08
CrossFit. His name's Ryan de Maddie, but
10:10
he's very good at grid, grid stuff.
10:11
Maybe he does CrossFit. I'm sorry if he does, if he does
10:14
nothing. I said he doesn't, but he's very
10:15
good at grid, grid stuff, grid speed, grid strength, blah,
10:17
blah, blah. The other guy is Nathan Cobb,
10:20
one of the guys that beat me in heavy Isabel, the the no name
10:23
that came out of nowhere. Also beat Austin in the Kill
10:26
Taylor workout. Very fit guy.
10:28
Very. Oh yeah, he's very fit, comes
10:32
from CrossFit, wants to, you know, wants to be good at
10:34
CrossFit and is doing grid. Bigger guy too.
10:38
They get there at the same time and it's the definition of
10:42
CrossFit versus grid. Like you see, like and then the
10:47
Ryan de Maddie guy, he ends up beating him by like 3 thrusters
10:51
and they get there at the same time and he beats him by three
10:53
thrusters. And it's just, it's the
10:56
definition of like going fast in CrossFit and going fast in grid.
11:01
And Nathan, Nate can't. He can't make himself.
11:05
Shortchange. Shortchange range of motion or
11:08
lockout. Like you can't, you can't do it.
11:10
And like, and to Maddie, that's all he freaking does.
11:12
Like he's he's great at it. And I'm not.
11:14
I don't mean this in a bad way. I mean it like it's the game
11:17
we're playing. Like he's coming down like his
11:21
like before. His knees are already on the way
11:23
down before we get locked out. With yeah, it's like when you're
11:25
trying to move wall balls faster, you start like going to
11:28
the trying to go into the squat like as fast as you can or or
11:31
like just drop before the wall or yeah.
11:33
His thrusters look like wall balls, but it it is, it's really
11:38
cool to see the difference. Like like I was watching it in
11:41
person. I don't know what it looks like
11:42
on camera, but it is cool to see the difference 'cause I know
11:45
this guy's good at CrossFit. I know he's comes from CrossFit,
11:48
right, and I know this guy is grid all day, right?
11:52
It's just it's it's cool to see the difference.
11:54
But anyway, that's it. That's a great update on the on
11:58
the comments, comments from the week.
12:00
SCF. I'm in Glacier this week too.
12:03
Can't miss this episode either so.
12:09
Have fun. Go find Brian and join the
12:11
podcast. That's right.
12:13
That's right. Anything to say about Justin
12:15
Medeiros? Training with.
12:18
Two times games, champ. No, no, no not.
12:20
He's not changing with Danielle at all.
12:24
I think that is strange, like why would you take the time to
12:27
do that? Well, they made a they made a
12:29
whole new intro video. At first I was when I, I had to
12:32
go back and look, they they changed the whole intro video.
12:36
It wasn't just the words so. Yeah, but why not just keep it
12:40
the same like the the the words? It could be a simple like.
12:47
It could be a simple thing just like.
12:49
The way it rattled off sounded better but seems weird, but
12:53
does. Does James Sprague does his say
12:56
2024 Fittest Man in the world? I have no idea.
13:00
We need to do our research. This could be a huge story.
13:04
Robbie, go tell us. Let us know.
13:09
Augustus link to PC's point or to rebut it.
13:14
Professional journalists get butt hurt when professional
13:16
athletes don't talk to them. But at the end of the day all it
13:20
does is give the journalist a different story to report on.
13:24
Rather than talking about the actual story, the journalist
13:26
talk about how it was bad the athlete didn't talk to them.
13:33
I don't care. There you go.
13:39
If you don't want to talk to me, that you're right, don't talk to
13:43
me. Cool.
13:45
We'll we'll still talk about. You.
13:46
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to.
13:48
It's not going to change my opinion of you at all.
13:51
I'm still going to say what you do, good or bad on the field.
13:55
I honestly think you, I think you're doing yourself a
13:58
disservice. I think us talking about you
14:00
only makes your following grow, only makes people like you more,
14:06
IE like look at Colton Merton's for an example.
14:08
You know what I mean? I feel like we play a big part
14:11
in Colton's height and he's earned every bit of it.
14:15
But it's because he knows how to play the game better than
14:19
everybody else. Like, you know, and I think
14:22
everybody could do that. They just choose, some choose
14:24
not to. But if you don't want it, it's
14:27
OK that you're right and I won't and and we won't.
14:32
We're still going to talk about you regardless.
14:34
It can. It can only be bad or good.
14:36
And you choose what that feels like to you.
14:38
That's completely what you want it to be.
14:41
This is directly talking about Danielle.
14:44
Oh, I was not if if, I mean, I'm just saying.
14:48
In the parlance of what's going on, that's one of my favorite
14:51
lines from parlance parlance. Is that a word?
14:55
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's, it's. Spanish.
14:57
Is that a word we're? Going to go with it.
15:00
It's they say it in Oh, the Big Lebowski.
15:04
He has no idea what it means. And so he's trying to sound
15:07
smart. He goes so in the parlance of
15:09
our times, but he doesn't follow it with me.
15:12
He just stops right there. A.
15:15
Particular way of speaking or using the words, especially a
15:18
way common with a particular job or entry.
15:20
Dude, it fits perfect Go all right.
15:22
Good job. Parlance of our times, no.
15:26
So it's I mean, this is about Danielle.
15:29
This is what's going on. It's it's the zeitgeist, as they
15:32
say. And I, I started thinking about
15:37
this shout out to Danielle. First of all, she was part of
15:40
the commercial for the Heat One app for the CrossFit Games
15:43
partnership. Responded immediately.
15:45
Respond not only responded to me, OK, so let's talk about that
15:48
for a second. Reached out to like 15 athletes.
15:52
All of them were like, yeah, let's let's do this.
15:54
This is awesome. Which like I'm stupid grateful
15:56
for. I realized that I'm asking for
15:58
their time and I'm asking them to basically like let me use
16:04
them as like A to get me clout for free.
16:08
And they all just said yes, which I really appreciate, James
16:13
Sprague said. Yep, 2 minutes later sends the
16:16
video like immediate. And I was like, This is why this
16:20
dude is at the top. This is the fittest man in the
16:22
world. This is the.
16:22
That's what did it. Yeah, Yeah.
16:26
I was like this. Is the kind of Tyler.
16:27
Yeah, you. Know what I mean?
16:29
It's those little things. He's good at tight management.
16:31
And then and Hopper just doesn't send it to him and he's like,
16:33
This is why he'll never win. The fittest man in the world,
16:36
this is. I'm going to, I'm going to put
16:39
you on blast, Jason. I'm sorry, dude.
16:42
So I, I text Jason, I DM most of the athletes, but I know Jason.
16:47
So I text him right? And I was like, hey, he was like
16:50
on it. Which I was like, hell yeah.
16:52
I thought Jason would be like, no, I'm not doing that.
16:55
Which I would have appreciated too.
16:57
That would have been funny. But so he posts a commercial and
17:00
Jason goes, you didn't even give me a chance.
17:02
It was like 3 days later. He was too busy making his thing
17:08
with Dalen. So.
17:09
So first, I didn't expect Danielle to do it at all.
17:12
I didn't even expect her to read my message.
17:14
I figured there's no way. No, she reads the messages.
17:17
But she, she read the message and did it within like an hour.
17:21
And I was like, this is, this is awesome.
17:23
Like props to Danielle for that. But this, this whole thing's
17:28
about Danielle. And it's funny because I
17:31
remembered a conversation that I had with her when her and Taylor
17:35
got into some spat a couple like a year ago maybe, right?
17:38
She's bad. She called it.
17:41
It was. About the shoes, right Rad.
17:43
I think it was about RAD, I can't even remember what it was.
17:46
I because RAD didn't give us the shoes when they said they were
17:49
going to give us the shoes. And then Peter, like, was like,
17:52
I don't have shoes to give you guys even though they promised
17:54
they would give it to us. Was that it?
17:56
And then, yeah, 'cause Taylor went off on RAD and then
17:58
Danielle said something about Rad and then Taylor thought it
18:02
was at him, and then he made a thing about her, then she made a
18:05
thing, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I don't know why I got
18:08
looped into it. I have no idea.
18:10
But she ends up calling me for some reason.
18:12
And I had a conversation with her and I told her the same
18:15
thing that I basically told Brooks manager, Industry Todd.
18:22
I told her I was like, listen, all of this is in your control.
18:26
And it seems like she doesn't want to like deal with the fact
18:30
that she is a semi famous person and at least in the CrossFit
18:34
respect, she's very famous. And it's like, I'm sorry, like
18:38
this is the game you entered into, whether you wanted it or
18:42
not. Like I don't know that Michael
18:45
Jordan wanted would have wanted. He has that line in that
18:48
documentary. You wouldn't want to be me for a
18:51
day, right? And it's like this that you know
18:54
you there are no free lunches ever.
18:59
And so. With great power comes great
19:01
responsibility. Yeah, this is, but it's all in
19:04
your power, Danielle. You can play this however you
19:06
want. Didn't Charles Barkley say he's
19:08
not a role model either? Yeah, Charles said that.
19:12
Yeah, no, no, yeah, yeah. Dude, this was when Charles was
19:14
on like the Sixers. He was like, listen, kids, don't
19:17
watch me. I'm not a role model.
19:20
I'm. I'm a bad person.
19:22
And like. And this is when this isn't the
19:24
time when like he might be the best basketball player in the
19:28
league. Like it's it's Michael, but then
19:30
it's him, it's him. So like, if he has a good
19:32
season, if he has a good season, you know, people talk about easy
19:35
with my right. It's like, like, you know, Jokic
19:39
is the best. But if Giannis has an MVP
19:41
season, you know, people say, is Giannis the best?
19:43
Like that's is like that. And it'd be like Giannis saying
19:48
I'm not a role model. Do not follow me.
19:52
That's right. So no, it's awesome that
19:55
Danielle did that. We'll talk about the Heat 1
19:57
stuff here in a minute. What if Danielle did that?
20:00
I'm not a role model. That's.
20:03
What I'm saying? I don't, I don't think I would
20:05
do that. But if she did, if she did do
20:08
it, I would, I would one, I would understand and two, I, I
20:14
think we would talk good about it.
20:15
Like she'd be, you know, it's her truth, you know what I mean?
20:20
She chose for that route. And I'm like, not many people
20:23
would, you know what I mean? That's.
20:25
Yeah. I'm with you, Tyler.
20:26
I'm with you all the way. I think it would be funny
20:29
though. Our our Murfreesboro news guy
20:33
didn't say anything this week. I didn't see it.
20:35
How are we going to know what happened in Murfreesboro?
20:38
I got you covered. Thank you, Tyler.
20:40
This week's Murfreesboro News, The Murfreesboro Fire Rescue
20:45
Department adds drones to its fleet for quicker response
20:49
times. They are talking about now they
20:51
can find missing people in the woods and stuff like that.
20:56
Zebra fires, see, get different angles on stuff.
20:59
Yeah, the zebra thing, I think was definitely the impetus of
21:02
all of this. We need drones for the zebra.
21:04
So I would think the CIA has a second branch in Murfreesboro.
21:08
They only need to cover Middle Tennessee State.
21:11
It's a test market for Murphy's, Yeah, for the CIA.
21:16
When we when we moved down here, my wife was finishing up school
21:19
and the first day of classes there were two like they had
21:24
this like extra parking lot and you had to park so far away.
21:29
And so these two women were fighting over a part spot and
21:32
one of them pulled a knife out on the other one.
21:34
So. Get your spot.
21:37
That's right. That's how you're doing.
21:39
Don't let her take it. My wife was not involved in
21:42
that. But all right, moving on to the
21:48
CrossFit Games. IE 2 and IE 4 have been
21:56
released. Let's talk.
21:57
About, yeah. IE2.
22:02
First of all, are these going to have names?
22:04
No. Well, can we say event 2?
22:06
I don't want to say IE 2 like. Because it's going to be TE 2
22:11
for the teams, John. OK.
22:13
But then it's just the event 2 for the teams.
22:16
It's just I don't like saying IE.
22:18
Individual event two. Let me pull it up here.
22:22
Wait, can I do this now? Will it do it?
22:25
No, while he's pulling that up. Thank you.
22:29
Sarah Cox. Biomex Peptides got me my
22:33
computer. It is here.
22:34
I am using it and it's perfect. Missus Spin is here, right
22:38
across the table from me. Hi, individual event 2:00.
22:44
There's a lot of stuff going on here.
22:47
What is what is this Rep scheme anyway?
22:49
20 wall walks double 10 dumbbell shoulder overheads. 20 double
22:55
under crossovers 30 toes Bar 2010, 20/30/2010.
23:01
It's pretty simple spin. It's 212-321-2321.
23:06
Yeah, well, if you kick out the wall walks in the first, it's
23:10
123212321. It's up and down the whole way.
23:20
So I saw the bike erg version of this one and I think that would
23:25
have been a far better workout. But but I hopefully that means
23:33
there is Viking in another in a different workout, right?
23:37
So, like I, I, I understand we look at this workout and we're
23:41
like, this is kind of a, an, an an aggressive class workout.
23:48
Like you're is this a competitors program at your
23:51
CrossFit gym workout, right? Like, I don't think, I don't
23:56
think this is going to crush any of them.
23:58
I think most of them are just going to mow through it and I
24:04
get I, I'm with you guys. We're testing for the fittest
24:06
people in the world. The dumb, dumb.
24:08
That dumbbell is heavy, but it's only 10 probably get through it.
24:12
Like I'm I have the same feelings as most people on this
24:16
workout. I just want to see the full
24:19
picture because if it's just a crossfity workout for a
24:23
crossfity workout sake, I don't want to judge it.
24:25
I don't want to judge it by it itself, but it doesn't wow.
24:30
It doesn't have any wow factor. I remember the second workout
24:35
maybe three years ago. Tyler, do you remember the
24:38
12121212 muscle Up workout with the sled pool at the end and the
24:44
pig flips in the middle? That's a, that's a CrossFit
24:47
Games workout like and Pat Velner ran away with Samuel
24:50
Quinoa was first in his heat and then Pat ran away with it after
24:54
that. That is a CrossFit Games
24:56
workout, but you look at those that workout versus this
24:59
workout, they were both the second event.
25:01
They were both at their long work, a long endurance event.
25:07
They, they feel very, very different.
25:11
And no, I mean, I'm, I'm a bit let down, but we'll, we'll just
25:16
see how it plays out. Yeah.
25:18
So this will be Friday. This will be Friday afternoon
25:20
after the. Run.
25:22
Yeah, hopefully event 3 is like they want.
25:27
Well, no, not a man of 45. It's going to be the lamest
25:30
thing in the world if it's a man of 45.
25:31
But and and spin, you're not wrong.
25:34
I kind of think it's going to be too, because it's a couplet
25:39
right, a couplet of pulling and then weightlifting, like
25:42
snatching. It fits perfectly.
25:45
You're absolutely right. This is a freaking blame first
25:50
day. If that's, if that's what it is,
25:52
I, I hope the this would be Friday night or Thursday night.
25:57
Friday night. I would really, I really,
26:00
really, really hope Friday night is not Amanda 45 and it is
26:03
something awesome. That way.
26:05
That way you have your long endurance event, you do a little
26:08
crossfitty event in the in the middle and everybody's hyped for
26:13
what's to come, right. That would make it better.
26:15
That would make it better. So I want to wait and they're
26:17
waiting to announce it, which makes me think it it could be
26:21
like one of those events, right? Because they're not releasing it
26:24
early. So that's my hope.
26:28
That's how I feel about this. But you don't think.
26:31
I think Justin Medeiros and Jonah Koski would be my picks
26:35
for this. For the guys, I think for the
26:39
girls, Tia and maybe Ariel. The wall walks or nothing to
26:48
shrug your shoulders at. I mean, like, that's a lot of.
26:50
No pun intended, Yeah. Does Colton fall for those
26:53
first? Colton's a pick on this.
26:56
No I think, I think I have Justin's wall walk.
26:59
Koski, Koski and Justin have the fastest wall walks in the game.
27:03
Y'all are thinking Colton because of range of motion but
27:06
it doesn't. Like Brent Fukowski had the
27:08
fastest wall walks out of everybody and they're literally
27:12
the opposite people. I'm just thinking about shoulder
27:16
stamina over time. I I think Colton's a goat on
27:20
that. Yeah, I don't think this is.
27:23
I don't think it's enough to affect people.
27:26
I think you're wrong. I think this is going to be
27:30
hard. Hard.
27:31
I think 20 wall walks at the end then then I'm with you.
27:36
Oh, it's not. Not ending.
27:38
Yeah, I see what you're saying. The IT ending on the shoulder to
27:43
overhead is interesting. I mean like you might see some
27:46
fails there 'cause people are going to push the pace.
27:49
But I mean at the end of the day, like what have I been
27:51
saying in the text thread? It's gym shit.
27:54
I don't. Know what?
27:55
Gym shit and you know my opinion on that it's fine but it it's
28:03
like a semifinals workout when I saw it.
28:07
Oh, 100% yeah. It's it's.
28:14
That being said, I'm going to try it.
28:18
I think it is one that you would you could put into a class for
28:20
sure. Yeah.
28:23
Yeah, maybe with double unders instead of double under
28:25
crossovers. I, I, I am happy that they said
28:28
that they gave you the double under crossover workout ahead of
28:31
time so the athletes can practice it.
28:33
But since they can practice it. Double 20 double under
28:36
crossovers the right amount. It's not many.
28:40
No, I wish it was more. I wish it was 50.
28:43
Yes. Because if you want the double
28:47
under crossovers to mean something like 50 mean.
28:52
Something it's not enough to even get your heart rate up.
28:54
Like you're done pretty quick. I mean, it's literally it's not
28:58
much longer than a regular double under.
29:01
Well, it's a 10 minute cap. Yeah.
29:03
And so, I mean, and you can't push the pace on those.
29:06
You just got to make sure you don't screw up and so people are
29:10
going to trip and stuff. In the video, Ben was
29:13
struggling. I don't know if they cut that up
29:16
weird but he was struggling in the in the behind the scenes
29:19
video. Maybe.
29:21
I mean, I think how many times has he been practicing those?
29:26
Whereas if you're going to the games, you're probably
29:28
practicing a little bit more. Right.
29:32
I haven't done them. I played with them this week.
29:34
I hadn't done them in a few months and I was they're,
29:37
they're still right there. So.
29:39
But yeah, 20 is not a lot. Yeah, I don't know.
29:44
I it's almost like, hey, we're just.
29:47
We just put them in there to show that they can do them now.
29:51
Yeah, right. Let's see how it plays out.
29:58
I it just, I hope it's a good race.
30:03
So there's something to it, but it feels like a lot of what was
30:06
like last year where there were good races.
30:10
You know, I don't tell you anything before the the final
30:13
event, right? Like watching Sprague come back
30:16
was was awesome. But before that, like go back on
30:20
a Saturday last year or even Sunday morning that the Dickey's
30:25
triplet, It just wasn't super exciting.
30:29
To watch, right? So and then of course today,
30:38
this afternoon IEO 4 John. 5 rounds for time. 300m run, 12
30:43
deadlifts, 100 foot handstand walk, £350 deadlifts for the
30:48
men, 220 lbs for the women. Do you like this any better,
30:51
John? Yeah.
30:54
With you think it's with the. Fat bar?
30:57
Yeah, I do. And I think that's going to make
30:59
a world of difference. No bouncing, 0 bounce.
31:03
That's not that dude, go do go do deadlifts with a fat bar.
31:07
Oh yeah, I know. I mean like it's going to be
31:09
grip limiting, but like if you're good at it, you can't
31:12
even get the help of like bouncing or anything.
31:14
That was the first thing I thought of.
31:16
I was like, oh shit, you cannot use any bounce.
31:19
Like it's just dead weight every time.
31:21
You think, yeah, they're going to do?
31:27
And then like the 300M, I, I also thought, man, man, this is
31:31
a lot of running, but this is like a CrossFit run.
31:34
Like it's not going to be super fast because they're going to
31:37
have to like use it as recovery to go fast on the other stuff.
31:40
Oh I disagree. I think it's going to be
31:41
lightning fast. You think so?
31:43
Yeah, but I don't think it's going to matter.
31:45
I I think this workout is very, very similar to the Crash
31:51
Crucible workout with the deadlifts and the burpees and
31:56
then the running, the deadlifts and the burpees over the yoke
31:58
and then the running instead of the burpees over the yoke.
32:00
It's a handstand walk. But that was ascending
32:03
deadlifts, correct? And with AI, don't remember with
32:08
a run it was 400 or 500 maybe but it was a lot of rounds of
32:15
running with heavy deadlifts and then burpees instead of
32:18
handstand walking. Right And 12 deadlifts with a
32:23
fat bar. I think the run is too short to
32:27
make a huge difference where it will make a difference but not
32:31
like this isn't a running workout in my opinion.
32:36
I think moves will be made on the deadlifts in the 100 foot
32:39
handstand walk. I actually thought Colton was in
32:41
the running to win this until, until I saw that fat bar and
32:46
that fat bar Doo dah. I think that I think it's going
32:51
to be extremely hard. I, I don't, I don't think people
32:54
understand how and that's why the women's weight is so light.
32:58
So I think. The men's weight is heavy, don't
33:01
you think so? Well, regard I I'm going off of
33:04
the men's weight, right? But when I say the women's
33:06
weight is light, you're saying the men's weight.
33:07
Is heavy we're. Saying the same thing.
33:09
Yeah, yeah. OK, so if like you know you
33:13
originally look at this, the women's weight is way too light,
33:16
way too light. OK, but with that fat bar their.
33:21
Hands are smaller. It's not, it's not at all, dude.
33:25
And that's why the women's weight is what it is.
33:31
It's hard for me to, I mean, I think somebody like Down could
33:34
win this. I I'm just thinking of big
33:35
handed people that will not like that deadlift means nothing to
33:40
them. He is the number one pick
33:41
currently in the heat. Won't amp.
33:44
Obviously Jeff is going to be great.
33:46
I just don't know how he's going to be with the deadlift.
33:49
But Jeff, Jeff, Jeff probably is still the pick to win this.
33:56
But I think that it's so hard to say the effect of what that Fat
34:00
Bart, some people are going to have it and some people are not.
34:05
Yeah, I I would agree. Like Jason, I could see him
34:07
doing better on this solely because his hands are freaking
34:10
massive and he he's great at all the other stuff.
34:14
So. Roman.
34:17
Roman do Well, Yeah, Roman. Will be phenomenal, but like,
34:21
somebody like Ricky might be hurt, somebody like Austin might
34:26
be hurt. And it's not that they can't do
34:28
it, but like your hands, it's your hand.
34:30
Size plays such a big part in this.
34:34
Yep, we maxed out an axle deadlift at my gym and the guy
34:40
who won is 6 foot 4, very very skinny.
34:45
Very skinny and his Max deadlift was £20 off of what he did with
34:52
that axle bar. So it's literally just the same
34:54
for him. Wow.
34:56
Yeah, and my best dad and what I did, I was, I think I got 405
35:03
and I couldn't get 425. Just cause holding it.
35:07
I mean, no, I can't grip it at that point, it just slips out of
35:10
my. Hand.
35:11
No, and double, double overhand, double overhand that makes a big
35:14
that makes a big difference. Like we right, No, correct,
35:17
correct. That makes a huge difference
35:18
because I didn't want it to like this is what.
35:20
You wanted to do that? Right, but just saying that your
35:23
hand size makes a huge difference and that guy ended up
35:26
pulling almost what his his Max deadlift was.
35:29
This is 60 deadlifts at 3:50. That in itself is high volume.
35:34
You put that fat bar on there. I just this is a this is a
35:39
deadlift workout. This is hard.
35:40
For all those muscle UPS the night before, your grip's going
35:43
to be shot. And then and then your grip
35:46
doesn't get a rest on the handstand walk.
35:50
It's also 500 feet of handstand. Walk like.
35:54
Dude, that's a ton. I and like, I you go go do 300
35:59
feet of handstand walking, typically handstand walk
36:01
workouts. Like if they're 300 feet, that's
36:04
a lot. I, that's a, that's a big
36:06
handstand walk workout, 500 feet of handstand walking.
36:10
Like I think it's a deadlift handstand walk workout.
36:13
And that run's not gonna be much at all.
36:15
Do you think the do you think the last stand stand walk is
36:17
only going to be 50 feet though? Like each round is down and back
36:23
50. No.
36:24
Just 50. Because it sounds like if it is
36:26
50 down and back, oh, I see what you're saying, Just so they can
36:30
go across the finish line. But for me, I think you're going
36:34
to catch people on that turn around because they're going to
36:36
kick down and then be and try to shake out and somebody else
36:40
won't. And so that's why I would say
36:42
they wouldn't do it. But I see I go.
36:44
Down and back though, and then just have to run.
36:47
Back, it doesn't like that visually, right?
36:53
Like it there's something to it where you just can't stand and
36:55
walk to the line and you're done for sure.
36:59
So maybe that only ends up being 450 feet.
37:02
No, I mean, they're not good. You're you're going to have to
37:05
do 100 feet. I, I don't know.
37:06
They don't ride a workout like this and like, hey, the last
37:08
one, we're not doing 50 feet. They're not.
37:10
They did it last year with the box jump overs on semifinals.
37:15
They had that weird. Yeah, box jump overs and semi
37:18
finals with a funky workout at the beginning of Yeah You.
37:21
Didn't do like the last rope climb or something like that,
37:23
right? Right.
37:23
Yeah, just finished. And they and they announced that
37:25
ahead of time. They're not.
37:27
This is the guy this right, This is the games.
37:31
They don't ride a workout and then be like, oh, but we're not
37:33
doing that last 50 feet. You can't.
37:34
I don't know. Show me.
37:35
Show me a time in the games where they did that.
37:38
I'm with spin on this. I think they could do that
37:40
because they didn't include it in the way that they wrote the
37:42
workout last year in semifinals. They did they They wrote it as
37:46
if you did do the last. It's semi finals dude, it's not
37:50
the same. Oh yeah.
37:58
Carolyn Prevo 2. 20 Yeah, but she commented this at the time
38:02
when she didn't know that it was a fat bar.
38:03
The fat bar makes it OK. Yeah, it does.
38:07
Yeah, Haley Adams. No.
38:12
Back on Blow out. I think Brooke Wells.
38:16
Brooke's a good one. A good runner on this will make
38:18
a big difference because they won't like their back won't blow
38:21
up nearly as much. But the, the the deadlift just
38:24
she's, she's a good right deadlifter.
38:26
She's a great handstand Walker and she's a good runner in
38:29
intervals. I think, I think Brooke, well, I
38:32
honestly, I don't know how many events have Brooke Wells won?
38:36
I don't know. That's a Barkley question, I
38:38
think. I can look at 2 maybe she won
38:40
the deadlift in 2016 and she won a handstand walk.
38:43
Has she won one other than that? Let me look at my Apollo
38:47
perform. Yeah, apolloperform.com.
38:51
Alphabetic. Search she won the first
38:54
handstand walk where they had the where you walked on the
38:59
sticks. Let's see, career.
39:05
Has beat Danielle on that. Competition wins 4 that's.
39:09
Right. Where are they?
39:14
Semifinals. Nope.
39:16
Well semi finals in my games wins Tyler.
39:19
I I'm trying to figure this out. I don't know, I'd have to look
39:26
at it on my computer. Yeah, it's it's way too
39:32
difficult to find the event wins.
39:34
Yeah, Barkley, fix that. Oh wait, here we go, 2025.
39:44
Did she win the Sprint? The 550 yard Sprint event 3?
39:48
Did she win that She was around there.
39:51
I don't know if she wanted though. 2020 yeah, I'm not sure.
39:59
20/22/2020 Game Stage 2. I don't know which event, but
40:03
she had one event win there and then event wins at the CrossFit
40:07
Games in 2018. One event went in 2018 games.
40:15
And she won the deadlift in 2016.
40:17
So I mean if you want to count 20/20/2020 is a bit of an.
40:23
What was this? Yeah, 'cause it was.
40:25
Five people, Yeah, right. Yeah.
40:28
So but I I think this might be her her next win.
40:33
Is karate grip good? Yeah, but she doesn't handstand
40:37
walk as good as the other girls, and she doesn't run as the other
40:39
girls I'm with deadlifts gonna matter a ton, but it's 500 feet
40:46
of handstand walking. That's so much handstand
40:49
walking. It's a little bit.
40:53
Yeah, I I wanna know. You think they'll make him go 50
40:55
feet unbroken? Where you.
40:58
Have to start because after 300 feet of handstand walking I
41:04
don't think that's. You got to take a gamble.
41:06
Dude, that's that's you got to know yourself.
41:10
I think they'll do that. If they if they don't do 20
41:14
fives, yeah, 25. If they don't do 20 fives, it's
41:17
lame. 25 would be that last. Round dude, I want 50.
41:24
I think it was. You got to, you got to know
41:25
you're going to make it. You know how many people failed
41:28
their handstand walk with the the shoulder to overhead rowing
41:32
one on the field, the one that Hunter McIntyre couldn't do?
41:34
So many people failed that handstand walk.
41:37
Like that's what I want. I think it was 2014 regionals.
41:42
They had a handstand walk that at least the teams did and you
41:45
you would watch teams that team athletes.
41:47
This is before you had to kick up behind the line and so people
41:51
were kicking up like and striding out as far as they
41:53
could, getting like four or five feet and then go 5 feet and then
41:56
come back down. Yes, I remember that this those
42:01
days. So we got 3 events.
42:04
What would you rate the three so far?
42:11
Individually or three together? Three together, Like if, if it's
42:15
way too early. I think we're going to have 10
42:16
events. I think we'll have three on
42:18
Friday, 4 on Saturday, 3:00 on Sunday.
42:20
Currently I would give it a four. 4 out of 10.
42:24
Yeah. Well, it's going to go with
42:25
letters. I see.
42:30
I think they're all fantastic. The CrossFit Games is really
42:33
doing a great job this year and you should make all your picks
42:36
on the Heat. One app is what you should do,
42:37
so I'm going to give it an A+. Wow.
42:41
OK, well, hey. If this was the World Fitness
42:46
project, Tyler, what grade would you give it?
42:48
Just just. Off the top of your head, just
42:50
hypothetically. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
42:56
C + B minus. I mean, give me a number I like.
42:59
I like numbers. What?
43:01
Would that be an 88? An 8?
43:03
No. These are different like.
43:07
What did you give it, John? What did you say I gave it?
43:09
4. Oh, OK, I give it a six.
43:16
OK, so like the first one I don't mind at all.
43:19
I'll give it a, I'll give it a, I'll give it a three.
43:23
OK, no, I I figured. You are you playing, really.
43:26
Low on low on the totem pole. The first event after having
43:29
done half of it, it's. What, you ran 3 miles?
43:34
I ran, basically, I ran 2 miles, did 1 1/2 K row.
43:38
I ran out of time, John. I ain't got all kinds of time in
43:40
the day to be at the gym anymore, so I had to.
43:43
I was. I wanted to do the whole thing.
43:45
I was really bummed out because I wanted to do the whole thing.
43:47
Did you not know how long it was going to take?
43:50
No, I. Just too mad, I know.
43:55
I know. It's an hour.
43:57
It's an hour long workout. I didn't know what I was going
44:00
to do before I went to the gym and I was like, yeah, I'll do
44:02
this. And then I looked at the clock
44:03
and then I was like, wait a minute, it's 6 miles of running.
44:08
Well, I don't mind. I don't mind the first one.
44:10
I just think the row is irrelevant.
44:12
Here's here's. Why?
44:14
This might be nitpicky. Here's why you could not be the
44:16
workout, Tyler, you finished on the row.
44:18
It's like, go ahead, spin. No, he didn't finish on the row.
44:21
No, I did the. I did the mile after.
44:23
Half of everything. So just the mile run.
44:27
I I this could be really nitpicky.
44:29
I don't like them. Mile out, mile back, back and
44:32
forth. Oh yeah, that's kind of lame.
44:37
So. Visually it's.
44:38
Going to run all the way out, run all the way back.
44:40
Do your row run out back or you know, finish in half, go down
44:45
and back, down and back, row down and back.
44:48
I don't like it. I don't like the number scheme
44:52
of the second one. It just seems confusing of IE
45:00
two, yeah. No, I got it.
45:02
You're just being real, like nose in the air about this.
45:06
No and and and three is fine. It's like Dickey's triplet
45:10
reminds me of. And to Tyler's point, they're
45:13
all just gym class workouts. So this is this is interesting
45:21
because our grades are one apart, one number apart. 4:00
45:25
and 6:00. And no, you're three.
45:27
Yeah, you're 3. And I was 4.
45:29
I mean, Tyler doesn't. This doesn't matter right now,
45:33
but I couldn't disagree more with your thought process at
45:37
all. Like it is not like Dickey's
45:41
triplet at all. It is completely different from
45:44
Dickey's triplet, I promise you. Like when this is all said and
45:47
done, put that and Dickey's triplet next to each other.
45:50
They're going to be completely different workouts.
45:52
You could not be more wrong in that comparison.
45:55
Just because somebody said it in our group thread doesn't make it
45:57
right. I didn't read that.
45:59
OK, well somebody said in the group that in that wrong too.
46:02
The the second one I couldn't agree more.
46:04
I hate it. The first one I don't mind, but
46:09
the row is irrelevant. I wish it was like I think Chase
46:14
said this like it the row should be scored separately and I think
46:17
and then the whole event and then the row and that would be
46:20
cool. Like like how are you going to
46:22
get? How would you, how would you
46:24
game that right? Like like like I don't even know
46:27
how you end up working that, but probably 5050, right, 50 points,
46:32
50 points. But that would be cool.
46:36
But they didn't. So the row is irrelevant.
46:38
It's basically who can run the fastest for six miles if you're
46:43
point for not liking it, it's just that they run down and
46:46
back. I think that's a bit nose.
46:49
It's. Just a.
46:50
I I get it, I get it. No, and I agree with you.
46:53
I get it and I agree with you. But if that's your reason that
46:57
you don't like the workout, like you know, you know the workout.
47:02
Isn't it picky? No.
47:04
I saw it was the workout's fine, like the first one's fine.
47:08
I just don't like that. Like it just, I mean, they put a
47:13
freaking cold plunge at the half mile marker for everybody.
47:17
I'm worried about heat. It's going to be 75° or 80°.
47:22
It was like 90. Three, all of this is not the
47:24
actual event though All of your complaints are like.
47:27
Here, John, that's what I'm going to rank it like.
47:29
I think it's it's just I'm not getting the feeling of
47:34
excitement on the workouts. Yet I I really just think it's a
47:38
personal problem. It might be.
47:42
The second one, I couldn't agree more.
47:43
I think the second one's dumb. Event 4 is not going to be what
47:48
you think it is. Event 4 is going to be hard.
47:53
It's like event 4 is a games workout.
47:55
It's I'm telling you, it's going to be very hard.
47:59
I think I I'm giving it a six because colored with other
48:03
workouts it could be fine like the thing that I like about
48:07
about. Two, we could add more workouts.
48:10
Right, staying alone. I I don't really like it so far
48:14
like it's it's going to be semi boring to watch the first event.
48:18
Like you have to do that one to a certain degree.
48:23
I I agree with John. It's a running workout.
48:25
Like they're all going to row roughly the same pace.
48:28
And so the only thing you can make distance on, like if you're
48:31
not a bad rower, if you get screwed up from the rower,
48:34
that's what's limiting you. But if you're in the top ten,
48:36
that's not really a thing. So it's just a running workout.
48:40
And then event 2 is is interesting in only in the
48:46
volume, like of the shouldered overhead.
48:49
And then event three, I think, or event 4 is pretty, pretty
48:52
decent. Like if that were in another
48:54
games, I wouldn't be totally upset about it's it's kind of
48:57
more gym shit. I think they're going to do it
48:58
on runners. That's lame.
49:00
That sucks. They do it on runners.
49:03
That's a 2. It's a two that it, I mean, it
49:07
really does take the wind out of it.
49:09
It takes the, IT takes the. Image out of it for Can I?
49:12
Can I time out real quick and then we'll go to Heat 1?
49:17
OK. Time out I I want to I want to,
49:18
I want to say something really quick.
49:21
I'm going to pull up this comment.
49:24
I literally feel like, and you guys correct me if I'm wrong, I
49:27
have been the most positive about the programming on this
49:30
show. Spin said he wasn't excited and
49:32
I said it sounded like a personal I.
49:34
Gave it a six dude. And then no, I know, but you're
49:36
partnered with them. So it doesn't really count.
49:38
But but I'm saying I've been generally positive about it.
49:43
And then your comment is once they announce lifts, John will
49:47
be excited again. Like, like I'm the one who said
49:51
I wasn't excited. I'm the one with the nitpicky
49:54
excuses why the event sucks. I'm literally talk positive
49:58
about it. And that's your comment.
50:01
Zach Davis. I I'm disappointed in this
50:07
comment. Like it is so bad and you were
50:14
not listening to anything and and you are, you know, I don't
50:18
know if you're still listening and you could hate me, you could
50:21
like me. I don't care.
50:22
This was dumb. This was really really, really.
50:25
Dumb way to double down, Zach. I like fighting buddy.
50:28
We we haven't talked about there's not strength or there's
50:31
too much running. Like no comments or like that
50:34
were made. I literally like you weren't
50:37
listening at all. Like and I'm just this is a
50:40
stupid, stupid comment. Go watch 7 and get out of here.
50:46
I don't like and subscribe please.
50:49
Crossfire, There's a decent tunnel at the arena which makes
50:52
it exactly like the Dickey's triplet look look.
50:57
I would like this workout. Last statement, then we'll move
50:59
on. I would like this workout more
51:01
if it was outside at North Park. Again, it's not the programming
51:06
you're upset with. And I, I think that's, I think
51:09
that's like an. Issues, man, overall feel and
51:12
you've got it. If it's going to be inside a
51:13
stadium that's going to look the exact same on the live stream as
51:16
it did in in Fort Worth, you've got to do something different.
51:21
If it's just going to be inside every time, you've got to do
51:25
something. And we're I?
51:26
I've not seen that yet. Agreed.
51:31
It can get better. There's still hopefully seven
51:34
more scored events that can make it better.
51:36
But I think they're always going to have that, that, yeah, that
51:40
complaint. So it colors, I mean like just
51:44
like what CrossFit Crossfat's saying here, then use the major
51:47
part of the programming. 1100 percent 100% like again, if it's
51:51
are on runners it it it, it messes up the aesthetic.
51:55
I agree, I don't disagree, but like literally every problem you
51:59
have, spin is not the programming, it's something
52:01
else. And like, they can't.
52:04
They've already decided on Albany.
52:05
It's already going to be there. You knew that it was going to be
52:09
there. Are are you going to complain
52:11
about it every single show? Just name the exact thing.
52:14
I have three. I have two more shows after
52:16
this. Yes, like.
52:18
We got to drive it home. Hopefully next week I can tell
52:22
you about event 5 and event 7 and.
52:25
They're all going to be great. They're all fantastic and.
52:28
I don't like it that it's not outside.
52:30
I would like it more if it was there at North Park, man, man,
52:34
you remember North Park? That was so cool.
52:36
I'm at, I'm at a National Park. Why can't they be at a park?
52:43
Like, good grief, man. Like it's just, I, I'm here.
52:47
You can't make you happy. Hey, Tyler's with me.
52:50
I'm with him. You like the indoor stuff?
52:52
I don't know. You're out, rolled John.
52:54
In other big news, he won the big old partnership with the
53:00
CrossFit Games. I'm excited about this, the head
53:03
to head stuff. Yeah, let me tell you, this reel
53:06
right here took me all of a long time to make.
53:10
I don't. I don't doubt it.
53:13
Oh, she even put her like, gym in the forefront she thought
53:15
about. It.
53:16
Oh yeah, she did good, man. It's funny.
53:19
Got Toby. Got Toby.
53:21
Hey, Toby was on it too, man. He was like, yeah, I got you,
53:24
yeah. Of course, Toby's on it.
53:26
Toby is surprised you asked him. He was like do you want me to do
53:30
another takedown? Only took like 2 minutes.
53:32
Good. Morning.
53:36
People are so you can win all kinds of prizes, $1000 Felipe's
53:41
gift card for top ten, which I think is our highest paying top
53:44
ten prize of all time. That's my best.
53:48
I do better on the top 10. Than I yeah, so spin's going to
53:50
win that. So don't don't even play Spin's
53:53
going to win shot caller. You can win all kinds of prizes.
53:59
Getting the AI to say Lujiao June took me 40 minutes.
54:07
Can you click on the three event games thing spin and explain
54:12
that one Tyler? Yeah, one, one more second,
54:14
John. So you can win all kinds of
54:16
prizes, lose Arjun shoes, Yeti stuff.
54:20
There was one more thing. Oh, yeah.
54:22
Velite's grips. Custom CrossFit, Velite's grips.
54:25
So please go in there and play. It's all brought to you by D
54:28
Phi. It's like a protein chocolate
54:30
thing. They're pretty good.
54:32
So go in there, click all the links.
54:34
Thank you guys for playing. Nice.
54:36
Three event games. What is this?
54:39
So I had this thought today, which I've kind of like thought
54:43
about in the past is you kind of have the MGW monostructural
54:48
weightlifting gymnastics, but you could kind of boil the
54:52
programming of the games down. You sort of do this spin which
54:55
event is the most correlated to who qualifies to the Games or
54:59
who win the games. But you could break it up even
55:02
more where it's like 3-3 events, 3 days, which events are the
55:06
most important. And I was like, OK, if I was
55:08
going to program the games, only three events.
55:11
One of them is definitely like the long endurance event, the
55:15
first event that they usually always have or you know, the
55:18
burden run, stuff like that. And then we should have two more
55:22
events that are also programmed like this.
55:25
John, I would actually like to know your two other events.
55:28
I have a good #2 but I would like to know your, I would, I
55:31
would just like to know what other two events you would like
55:33
to do. I haven't like technically
55:35
programmed them yet. So for event one, I said, OK,
55:40
top 16, if they went head to And so it's just a way to like
55:57
play along with the games, Think about it and see what kind of
56:01
weird matchups would happen. Now, when you say other events,
56:05
you said you wanted to know my other events.
56:07
There's only been three events announced so.
56:09
No, no, no, no. So the way I'm going to do this
56:12
is if you condensed all of the games programming into 3 events.
56:16
Oh, in history, yeah. Yeah, like if you came up with a
56:20
CrossFit Games that was like the most potent 3 event CrossFit
56:24
Games you could have, what would those three events look like?
56:27
I gotcha, OK. You see what I'm saying?
56:29
I gotcha. Yes, yes, I wasn't, I wasn't
56:31
with you, but I got I'm with them.
56:34
So the first event is the Run Swim Run from 2017.
56:39
We're not taking this year, right?
56:40
We're taking every year but this year.
56:42
Yeah, we're not. We're not doing this year.
56:44
This year what? Makes the cut.
56:45
Yeah, and so I took the top 16 ish athletes and I said OK,
56:53
we'll just we'll see. Adler's a three seed is is
56:56
crazy. I gave it to James because he's
56:59
the defending champ and. Put Dallin ahead of him.
57:02
Yeah, he was in second last year.
57:03
I docked Jeff because he he bailed out of games last year.
57:07
OK, OK. I think that's.
57:09
Fair, it's your. It's your then Jason Hopper got
57:14
4. Seating was really hard.
57:21
OK, It was, dude. Austin at an 8 is crazy.
57:25
Dude, Austin, I didn't want to put Austin and Justin together.
57:31
How is Ricky A5? He was not great either.
57:34
He did. He did good at the Games last
57:36
year also. He was like 9th.
57:38
Yeah, but some of the guys dropped out.
57:41
Exactly, and he was ninth with. So right now.
57:47
Colton didn't make the games like I was.
57:51
I had to include Colton, dude, he's going to do good.
57:54
I had to include Colton. You've not, you've not brought
57:58
up the one that matters, which is Bill Leahy.
58:01
I would say he, you, I, I outranked him.
58:03
Yes or no? You outranked.
58:06
Him like I overranked him. 13th he's fine.
58:10
You'll take it. Yeah, I'm not.
58:11
I'm not as upset about that. And like when you get up that
58:15
high, it's basically it's more of just like who you like, like
58:19
it could go. There's, it's not like there's
58:20
not an exact pecking order. There's groups of people, right?
58:24
And I would put Bill Leahy and Ibarra in the same group.
58:27
You know, those last three or four were tough to like be able
58:31
to see them. Callum probably shouldn't be
58:33
there. Somebody else should be there.
58:34
Probably not, but I wanted to put more Europeans in DEI.
58:38
You want a cookie? You want a cookie's in there.
58:41
I figured that one. Oh, he's at the bottom.
58:44
My fault, my fault. So that's one of the picks
58:47
that's like definitely as far as the separation between the
58:51
seating, the 6th and the 11th. Yonah's currently leading.
58:55
He's got 126 votes to Romans on. That workout. 61 on that
59:00
workout, Romans. Good at swimming so.
59:03
That's true. Let's see the other one.
59:06
So the the tightest right now is Austin Hatfield and Justin
59:09
Medeiros. What do you think, John?
59:12
It's to Justin's not a good runner, so it would be it would
59:16
Austin's a terrible swimmer, though.
59:19
No, like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I'm just, I'm just like
59:22
trying to boil it down. It's honestly probably Justin
59:26
just because the swim matters much more.
59:29
You know, if Ikowski won this going away, Koski was second for
59:33
the men. Like like just the swim matters
59:38
so much more in this particular workout that probably Justin,
59:44
I'd probably pick Justin. I'm, I think I'd pick James to
59:46
win, but Justin, Justin would be my, he would beat Austin for
59:51
sure. Austin is leading 105 votes to
59:55
80. I mean, they're just picking who
59:57
they think it's fitter. But like in this, I mean, in
1:00:00
this particular workout, Justin Madaris I think, I think beats
1:00:03
Austin going away. Austin's just he's trash at
1:00:05
swimming. Yeah, pretty funny to see the
1:00:09
Games athletes pick who they think's going to beat this one,
1:00:12
particularly in the Austin Justin Madaris 1.
1:00:15
Yeah, You know, if games athletes are really, really
1:00:19
actually I, they might be thinking this is event 1 of this
1:00:21
year, Yeah. So I got a lot of messages.
1:00:24
About that, Yeah, yeah, yeah. You need to, we need to like
1:00:26
define this a little, a little harder on the on like the next
1:00:29
post, you know what I mean? Good run, swim run dude, I don't
1:00:33
know how. Much I get it, really I I didn't
1:00:35
know what it was until you just explained it.
1:00:37
I figured out what it was within this the little I didn't.
1:00:40
I thought it was this year too, until, until we talked about it.
1:00:44
But whoever that was that voted for Austin, I would implore that
1:00:48
person to think just a little bit harder.
1:00:52
Whoever that was. I actually think you're a smart
1:00:55
guy too. You, you should be.
1:00:57
You should be ashamed of yourself, honestly.
1:01:00
Hypothetically. Whoever that guy is, or girl,
1:01:02
you know, whoever that is, to be ashamed of yourself.
1:01:05
Listen, I don't. I don't want to keep
1:01:07
interrupting you. I want to keep you
1:01:08
uninterrupted. But whoever that was should be
1:01:12
ashamed of themselves. Anyway, next one, I don't know
1:01:15
when I'll do it. I either the next couple days.
1:01:17
The girls will come out tomorrow.
1:01:19
So we'll we'll keep doing this. Just kind of see who's going to
1:01:22
win the CrossFit Games. I think it'd be kind of close.
1:01:24
What is your event too in my I, I will I will put hard thought
1:01:28
into this and send you send you what I think.
1:01:30
But the one that I want to do right now is the clean ladder
1:01:34
from 2014. 2014 it goes up to it goes up you but you could choose
1:01:41
that four O 5 bar if you wanted to nobody was nobody was doing
1:01:43
that. They were all in the third.
1:01:45
I like that. No, I like that the. 2 events
1:01:47
down I I need this. Probably a better strength event
1:01:50
but like probably but I I get the thought process and of.
1:01:55
A CrossFit games I would want to watch.
1:01:57
So far I'm like I'm not I'm digging it.
1:02:00
That run swim run event was cool as shit.
1:02:02
That clean ladder event was cool as shit.
1:02:05
I need a cross fitting one. That's a little gymnastics bias.
1:02:09
Don't you? Don't you only pick the the the
1:02:11
four strongest guys then? They're going to make the cut,
1:02:16
but that doesn't mean they're going to win that.
1:02:17
Doesn't mean they're going to win the games, like these are
1:02:19
the 16 people and the strongest guys that will win that, but.
1:02:24
You're going to cut them down, right?
1:02:25
Then you're going to do it through the next one.
1:02:27
Oh, do you think that I should do the strength event last then?
1:02:30
No, he's not just the strongest dude.
1:02:34
Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, but you can take, you can,
1:02:39
you can it. Needs to be.
1:02:40
It needs to be mixed. It has to have some type of mix
1:02:42
to. It well, the gymnastics one will
1:02:43
be mixed, but. He's saying it needs to be mixed
1:02:46
because it's such a small group of.
1:02:48
Tests. Yeah, the finals will be the
1:02:50
four strongest dudes. The.
1:02:52
Aerobic 1. The aerobic 1 wasn't mixed.
1:02:56
It is a little. Mixed with another like you
1:03:00
painted yourself into a hole. I I almost think like you leave
1:03:03
it like that but then the gymnastics 1 is mixed and then
1:03:08
maybe you make it a series. Series.
1:03:12
Yeah. How would you do that?
1:03:15
Like you reseed them by who won and who and who was bad.
1:03:19
And then you do. Yeah, you do this with three new
1:03:23
events and then you can have it different ways.
1:03:26
Like one of these ones can be all mixed modality.
1:03:30
And like this one maybe you pick 30 ring muscle UPS and that's
1:03:32
it. You pick the queen ladder and
1:03:33
that's it. And then another one, you kind
1:03:35
of do a little of both of them. And then after three renditions
1:03:39
of it, you take the average of the percentage of where they
1:03:42
finished. And then that is.
1:03:46
The CrossFit Games winner. The CrossFit Games winner.
1:03:48
Yeah, but you think about that's 9 events.
1:03:52
So just make the CrossFit. Games and we'll know.
1:03:54
That's your CrossFit Games. Dude, so all's I gotta do is do
1:03:59
this every single day until the game will be there.
1:04:03
You'll. Get better at it.
1:04:05
We gotta catch up on one of these.
